1.88 Percent Increase

In Town Budget

www.minnedosatribune.com

90 cents plus tax

Skate The Lake Supports MREC

By DARRYL HOLYK

he Town of Minnedosa presented its almost balanced budget (two cent surplus) of $4,768,635
Tuesday night during a public meeting as previously
advertised in The Tribune. Last years actual revenue
and expenditures came in at approximately $4.49 million with a year-end surplus of $1,270.17 for 2015.
Although the Towns mill rate has gone down
there is an overall tax increase of 1.88 percent. As for
what this means for property owner/taxpayers in the
community and how it will affect their taxes is dependant on what happened with their property assessment. Overall, during the recent provincial property
re-assessment, the average assessment went up by
11 percent for the Town of Minnedosa. If a property
owners assessment went up by that average 11 percent, they should expect a tax increase of 1.88 percent.
It fl uctuates depending on what happened to your
assessment, stated Mayor Ray Orr who added that in
his case, his property experienced an approximate 25
percent increase in assessment which has resulted in
a 14 percent tax increase on his tax bill.
One of the new line items in this years fi nancial
plan is dedicating $130,000 toward the new Primary
Care Clinic. This project has become our number
one priority, mentioned Mayor Orr, adding that he
expects to see council dedicating a similar amount
of funding toward this much-needed facility over a
three-year period.
Council has also decided to increase the beautification of the town by budgeting for the hiring of a
contract worker to take on some general green space
work and TLC. This position is coming in at around
$25,000. I dont like to drive down Main Street during
the summer and see weeds growing all over the boulevards, stated Mayor Orr.
Protective Services is seeing a jump in expenses
mainly due to the $60,000 increase in the RCMP contract. It seems awfully expensive but at the end of the
day its not a bad deal for The Town if we compare it
to what it would cost to set up and run our own police
force here, stated the Mayor.

Students Investigate Future Career Possibilities

Hannah MacDonald (R) interviews Jessica Raupers (L) during her

Career Preparation placement with The Minnedosa Tribune.
By HANNAH
MACDONALD
MCI Career Prep Student

he Career Preparation and Exploration

Program is a tremendous
opportunity for students
from Grades 10 to 12 to investigate different career
paths, and gain exposure
to working in the diverse
environments of their
choice before they leave
high school.
Mrs. Jessica Raupers,
the Career Preparation
and Exploration Co-ordinator for Minnedosa and
Erickson Collegiate, not
only manages the pro-

gram for both schools and

initiates 190 career placements, she arranges Take
Your Kids to Work Day for
Grade 9s and handles the
High School Apprenticeship Program.
Th e Career Preparation and Exploration program gives out a mandatory divisional credit and
is very successful and
benefi cial to the students
of Minnedosa and Erickson. In Minnedosa, the
students go out for a total
of four days in their Grade
10 year and another four
days in their Grade 11
year. Erickson students
go out on placements in

Grade 11 and Grade 12.

By participating in
the career placement part
of the program, students
gain the skills that are required to succeed in the
workplace and they learn
to ask questions. It also
gives them a chance to
go out and be subjected
to what it would be like to
work in that specific career fi eld; but thats only
half of what this program
does to help the undergraduates. The program
also teaches them how to
write a unique and creative resume and how to
stand out when applying
for a job.

Nicolas Chambers spent his Career

Placement at Parkline Automotive.
Jeff Pearson, Reporter for
Th e Minnedosa Tribune,
commented, Hannah is
the second career student
placement that I have
worked with and I believe
it is an excellent opportunity for students to experience what it is like to be a
reporter and the lifestyle it
requires. This program
has been an awesome
chance for me and my fellow colleagues to go out
and see what the world
has to offer us. While a few
students still are unsure
of what they want to do
when they are no longer
in high school, the career
placement program has

allowed them to sample

the many job opportunities that are out there. For
students that are certain
of the job they want to do
in the future, this program
has given them the ability to go out and change
their minds without committing to anything and in
some cases has cemented
the fact that they do indeed know the career
path they want to follow.
Nicolas Chambers, Grade
11 student from MCI, remarked, I started Power
Mechanics in Grade 9
and somehow I just knew
that I wanted a job as a
mechanic. Going out on
the placements gave me
the chance to experience
hands on what the job is
like.
Personally, I have
gained many interesting
experiences and oppor-

tunities. My placement at
Th e Minnedosa Tribune
has not only taught me
things about being a reporter it has also taught
me about the lifestyle and
the determination that is
required to be able to follow a story and write the
facts in an entertaining
way.
The program has been
a great help to many students in Minnedosa Collegiate and Erickson Collegiate and it would not
be possible without Mrs.
Jessica Raupers for setting everything up, every
employer that has taken a
student or will take a student in the future, every
employee that had to deal
with a curious student and
school administrators for
allowing us all to go out on
our placements.

Mock Accident

Next Th ursday, May 12th at approximately 1 p.m.,

emergency vehicles with sirens blaring will head towards
Minnedosa Collegiate. Remember; do not be alarmed, it
will not be a real-life emergency scenario but a pretend
accident re-enactment known as PARTY to educate your
drivers on the deadly consequences of districted driving.

Two for two

The Manitoba Community Newspapers Association

(MCNA) held its 97th annual meeting and convention
in Winnipeg last weekend. During the awards banquet,
The Minnedosa Tribune was recognized with two second
place honours. The Tribune received second for Best
Layout and Design in the circulation category of 1,500
to 3,599. The Tribune also placed second for Best Tourism Story for Rockin the Fields Hits A Grand Slam by
Vern May.

Better Community Spaces

Federated Co-op is helping others celebrate and better the spaces they love. Canadians have a chance to win
$1,000 by nominating important spaces in their communities. Co-op will donate up to $25,000 to enhance the
spaces nominated by winners. Entries will be accepted at
www.communityspaces.ca until May 31st. Co-op Community Spaces is already making a difference across
Western Canada. Last year, the program supported 16
organizations with a total of $1 million.

Career Preparation

The Tribune was once again graced by a young talented high school student, Hannah MacDonald, curious
about the newspaper industry last week. I am a strong
supporter of the Career Exploration program as I have
personally experienced the infl uence and power it has
in helping students make a career choice. This coming
December will mark 20 years since I first walked through
the back shop door of The Tribune as a nervous MCI
Grade 12 Co-op Ed student. The rest, as they say, is history.

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows

your name, and theyre always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see our troubles are all the same,
you wanna be where everyone knows your name. That
familiar and iconic lyric of the long running television
sitcom Cheers bears a striking similarity to the draw of
rural communities, doesnt it? We are drawn to smaller
communities for the safety, security and familiarity of
our surroundings a place where you have the chance to
know everyone you meet by name.
However, while some might remind us that our community is not seeing considerable growth as perhaps our
neighbours to the east are experiencing, were not as
small town as we once were. The fact is that among our
2,500 residents we dont know everyone by name anymore nor do we make a focused effort to do so. Have
we slowly lost our small town charm?
There was a time when a new family moving into
the community would warrant a visit from their immediate neighbours to welcome them to the town and to
extend a first friendly greeting to help someone make a
connection in their new home to get the lay of the land.
Someone local who had a few connections and could
point a newcomer in the right direction with familiarization questions they may have. A welcome might include
some baked goods or an invitation for tea or a meal. Yes,
there was a time in the not so distant past when everyone
in the community would take an active interest in embracing new residents and making them feel a connection to their community.
Im not sure when that changed. Maybe it was when
we started to welcome more people to the serene prairie
setting from the big city. In the larger centers like Winnipeg, you might live on the same block for a decade and
not know your neighbours by name, not have any reason
to. Has that migrated with the former urban dwellers to
the country?

The Minnedosa Tribune

Through the Minnedosa CDC offi ce, in partnership

with the Chamber of Commerce, we issue welcome baskets to new residents when we learn that they have arrived in town. I can tell you that over the past year, we
have welcomed more than 20 new households to Manitobas Valley Paradise. How many of these families have
long time residents taken the opportunity to meet? Have
you invited them to participate in the activities and
events that we host? Do you know them by name? If I
was to follow up with them, would they tell me about
the warm embrace of the people of Minnedosa that has
convinced them that this is where they need to set down
their roots for the rest of their lives?
I have been fortunate in my role as it is a job that requires me to connect with a lot of people. I can identify
people by name and know who has the answers for what
questions that may arise through my work. I have been
grateful to be professionally invited to the table in a number of settings which has helped me to build relationships.
However, even as a very visible newcomer to the community myself who has no personal or family ties to the community, in sixteen months I have not received one invitation to a social gathering which is outside the scope of my
work. I dont mention this to fish for offers mind you, but
rather to illustrate that some of our newcomers who may
not have the public visibility that I enjoy, may be quietly
excluded by omission and never develop a connection to
Minnedosa. That small town charm that we once boasted
instead can become a very isolating situation for people
without a social circle locally. Without a relationship to
build upon, the chances that these families will explore
opportunities to move to another home where they might
feel a sense of connection likely in a similarly sized town
to our own, is highly probable.
Our future depends on us to remember and embrace our history as a small town with friendly, inclusive
and inviting residents that are excited to welcome new
friends and neighbors and make them feel right at home.
This week, I encourage you to seek out someone in town
that you havent met before and get to know them. Maybe even invite them for a coffee. Lets send the message:
Welcome to Minnedosa, were glad youre here.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people

Sharing The Road In Seeding Season

season upon us, its
important that farm machinery is properly marked
and clearly visible when
travelling on public roads.
According to Th e
Highway Traffic Act, farm
equipment is required to
have a slow-moving vehicle emblem in plain sight
to traffic approaching from
behind, with red reflectors on the back as close
as possible to the left and
right sides. At night, farm
equipment must have
headlights, red tail lamps
and fl ashing amber warning lamps.
While farm machinery must be distinctly
marked when being operated on highways, all road
users have a responsibility to safely share the road.
Extra caution should be
taken when approaching
and passing farm vehicles
because of their size and
the fact they travel at a

Friday, May 6, 2016

maximum speed of 40 kilometres per hour, which

is much slower than other
highway traffic. Its important that both producers and motorists do their
part to stay safe on the
road, said Ward Keith,
vice-president, Business
Development and Communications and chief
product officer, Manitoba
Public Insurance.
Farm equipment is
large and slow-moving.
Producers need to ensure
their equipment is properly marked and motorists
need to be careful to give
these machines the space
they need, particularly
when turning on or off of
highways or when passing
this slow-moving machinery.
Dan Mazier, president
of the Keystone Agricultural Producers, says producers can enhance road
safety by ensuring safety
lights and equipment are
fully functioning.
Its important for

producers to keep public

safety in mind, said Mazier. Theres a partnership
here. Its also important
for motorists to do the
same. The most important
thing a motorist can do is
pass farm equipment only
when its safe to do so. Secondly, ensure the equipment is not turning before
you start to pass.
While collisions

between large farm machinery and motor vehicles are not common,
they do occur on occasion
and can have tragic consequences. On average, there
are about 25 such collisions yearly in Manitoba.
By sharing the road safely,
we can reduce these collisions and keep both our
producers and other road
users safe, said Keith.

A line item named other recreation facilities has

seen quite an increase in this years budget. This years
budgeted amount is $10,000, compared to last years actual cost of $3,980. This increase refl ects Councils decision to cover the water bill for the new baseball diamonds
and soccer fields at the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre grounds.
The Towns separate utility (water and sewer) budget balances at $1,481,403.22 for 2016. Last year, the utility operating fund saw a $20,784.89 surplus at the end of
2015. That surplus rolls into this years utility budget.
Under borrowing, council has included the potential
bank loan of $3.5 million for MREC with a repayment period of 20 years. While this loan has been pre-approved,
it has not been taken out yet and will not affect this years
taxation. The Town and MREC planning committee are
still hopeful that the new federal and provincial levels of
government may chip in with some funding support toward this project which would bring down Minnedosas
contribution to see this project through to completion.
Next week: The Towns capital expenditures for 2016
and the next five years.

ongratulations to Ida
Bradley who received
the royal treatment when
she attended the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba,
the Honourable Janice
Filmons Tea Party, honouring Queen Elizabeth IIs
90th Birthday on April 21st,
at Government House in
Winnipeg. Idas daughter

Gwen Holmes of Regina accompanied her, along with

120 other wonderful Manitobans, all celebrating this
90th milestone birthday.
Her Honour originally put
out the invitation for the
first 60 ladies to call, but the
response was overwhelming, so they also hosted a
morning tea party. The
tea tables spilled out of the
main dining room into the
hallway and were decorated with small bouquets
of roses. Tea and a lovely
lunch were served on por-

celain tea cups and plates.

Th e Honourable Janice
Filmon stated she would
have held a dinnertime party if needed to make sure
everyone could attend!
Ida came home with several souvenirs, an iced cookie
with the Queens insignia in
the icing, a book on the life
of the Queen and wonderful memories. Ida reaches
her milestone birthday in
August this year.
Wed like to send sympathy to David and Lisa
(Jensen) Vasconcelos and

originally from Brazil and

before coming to practise
psychiatry at the Brandon
Mental Hospital in 1968.
David has a sister Daphne,

he Minnedosa Credit Union Youth Board of Directors have worked hard for two years raising over
$1,100 to purchase a projector, screen and cage for the
Minnedosa Collegiate Gym. The unique projector can be
used with Bluetooth.
Not only did the youth board raise money to replace
the projector, but this year they discussed the state of
the MCIs jerseys for some of their sports teams, that are
slowly being worn out due to the many years of action.
They made a motion to start a jersey fund and have already committed $1,000. They plan to continue to grow
the fund so when new jerseys are required money will be
in place to cover the cost.

Two Family Homes Destroyed By Fire

ithin less than a

week, two local
families have been displaced after experiencing
the heartbreaking tragedy
of having their homes destroyed by fire.
On the evening of
Thursday, April 28th, the
5th Avenue N.E. home
of Barrie and Dorothy
Brooking was consumed
by flames. Barrie was
watching TV when suddenly a fire broke out in
the carport on the east
end of their home around
10:30 p.m. He immediately woke his wife and
the couple fled their family home. Watching from
a safe distance at a neigh-

bours home the couple

felt helpless as the flames
engulfed their home and
belongings.
Within minutes of
calling 911, Minnedosa
Fire Department was on
scene with 14 firefighting members and two
pumper trucks to battle
the blaze. We worked
our hardest to defeat the
flames using every possible resource available
and by 1 a.m. it was extinguished, commented
Deputy Fire Chief, Mike
Kowal.
Unfortunately,
despite their efforts, the
home, belongings and
vehicles were completely
destroyed. The intense
heat of the blaze caused
some damage to the

home and vehicles of

neighbours directly east
of the Brooking home.
A trust fund has
been established at the
Minnedosa Credit Union.
At 11:45 a.m. on
Wednesday, May 4th,
the sirens rang out again
sending local firefighters,
paramedics and RCMP
racing to a mobile home
fire at Poplar Park Trailer
Court.
Within only 25 minutes, the quick action of
our local firefighters had
extinguished the flames,
however, the fast pace
of flames caused severe
damage to the home occupied by Roger Tremblay
and Sarena Shingoose.
Fortunately, Sarena and
her sister were able to es-

cape the home by throwing a chair through a west

window.
The mobile home located directly east of the
Tremblays received extensive exterior damage
but was saved by the actions of the local fire department. In a haunting
coincidence, the owner of
that neighbouring home
lost a previous home to
fire 12 years ago.
The Office of the Fire
Commissioner continues
to investigate both fires
and at press time, and
while there are many rumours floating around,
the official causes of
these devestating incidents have not been determined.

Many Different Uses For A Pool Noodle

Solutions and
Substitutions
By

REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
Can the fi nish on
a toilet bowl deteriorate
or erode from the point
where reddish stains that
appear to fl ow from the
top of the bowl to the top
of the water? The stains are
removed with cleaner but
reappear quickly. Steve
Dear Steve,
You may want to consult with a professional
plumber; however the reddish stains are likely iron
in the water. When iron
in water reacts with air,
red stains become notice-

able; if this is the case the

iron is unlikely to damage
the toilet bowl. Consider
purchasing a water conditioning system consisting
of both a filter and softening system to remove iron
from the water.
Dear Reena,
We are in the process
of remodelling our kitchen from an outdated design to a modern stainless
steel look. We are ready
to choose handles for the
drawers and cabinets. Do
you have any advice of
what to look for? Cornie

Dear Cornie,
Begin by choosing
a few styles that match
the overall look of the
kitchen. Do you like stainless steel, brass, pewter,
glass or painted handles?
While it is fine to mix and
match styles, you cant go
wrong if you match stainless steel handles or knobs
with your stainless steel
appliances, light fixtures
or sink. Place the handles
against the cabinets and
test how graspable the
handles are; this is especially important for people struggling with Arthritis or those with very large
hands. If you wear rings,
choose a scratch resistant
handle. Consider whether
sleeves, belt loops and
pockets might become
hooked on the ends of the
handles, this can be annoying. Also note the care

needed for the handles.

Will crumbs sit on the
tops of handles? Will fingerprints be visible? Take
your time choosing; most
good quality handles last
a long time!

Bringing Together The Architects of Change

By VERN MAY

reating
meaningful and measurable
change in our communities is at the heart of
the conversation when
Neepawa and Minnedosa
co-host the Economic Developers Association of
Manitoba (EDAM) Spring
Forum next week.
This will be the fi rst
time that either community has hosted the confer-

ence, which is held semiannually in communities

around the Province. The
conference is geared to
give communities the
tools to move forward on
their economic development mandate despite the
challenges that exist for
many jurisdictions.
In most communities, the whole community development portfolio is represented by a
single staff member, who

*Seniors Discount every Friday (65 & up)

is often fi ghting an uphill

battle with local Council
for resources and attention to put wheels beneath
some key initiatives. Th is
upcoming
conference
off ers an agenda which
emphasizes the relationship building and forward progress that can be
achieved with the support
of pro-active, educated
councils even with limited
budgets and resources.
A unique feature of

this conference steers

away from a standing tradition. Most often, delegates are treated to a tour
of the area, highlighting
the communitys best features and presenting an
almost idyllic view of their
host town. However, this
conference has promised
attendees that they are going to get to see behind
the curtain and take a
look at some of the areas
for development and dis-

cussion which serve as the

local economic developers greatest annoyances.
Given the nature of
our audience, we think
that there is more value
in providing a candid and
honest view of whats happening in our community, says Marilyn Crewe,
Neepawas EDO. Rural
communities face a lot of
the same challenges, so
lets be open with each
other, sharing informa-
