Town...
By Darryl Holyk
Lest We Forget…
The Minnedosa Tribune office will be closed on Mon-
day, November 12th out of respect for the brave men and
women who have served and sacrificed in various con-
flicts throughout the years. Remembrance Day will of-
ficially be observed across the country this Sunday, No-
vember 11th with the local, Minnedosa service beginning
at 10:45 a.m. at the Community Conference Centre. This
year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War
One which was fought from July 28th, 1914 to November
11th, 1918.
TWO BECOME ONE...
A vote was held on October 30th and the members
of both Heritage Co-op and Strathclair Co-op voted in fa-
vour of partnering to become one. The amalgamation is
scheduled to take effect December 30th.
On the ice...
In today’s edition you will find the first minor hockey

mitting these regular game reports and encourage others

than happy to publish them for our readers. Sports re-

Fuel Up My Town…
Last year, an eight-year-old boy from Oak Bank re-
alized his hometown was not on the Western Canadian
map for Co-op’s annual Fuel Up To Win contest. That boy
was Devin Dreger, grandson of Minnedosa’s Ron and
Terry Swift. He wrote his concern to Co-op in a personal
letter and as a result, not only was his hometown put on
the map but a new Co-op contest was announced. The
Fuel Up My Town Social Competition is now underway
and will run until November 21st. People are encouraged
to share a hashtag with their hometown’s name with #Fu-
elupmytown on facebook, twitter or instagram. The com-
munity with the most mentions will receive a $25,000 Co-
op donation to a local charity.

Billing Taxpayers Even
After Leaving Office
By AAron Wudrick
canadian Taxpayers Federation
H ave you ever had a job that comes with a gener-
ous expense account? How about one where you
get to keep your expense account even after you leave
the job? If this sounds too good to be true, you haven’t
heard about the great deal Canada’s Governors Gen-
eral have been getting for the last 40 years.
As the Queen’s representative in Canada, serv-
ing as governor general is arguably the most presti-
gious appointment in politics, with most serving for
between five and seven years. While often described
as a “figurehead,” there is no denying that, constitu-
tionally, the Governor General plays an important
ceremonial role in our system of government.
As you might expect for such a position, the
role comes with a lot of perks, including a salary of
$288,000, a large staff, and an official residence (Ride-
au Hall) with 175 rooms. But perhaps the most sur-
prising perks of all come after a governor general has
left office.
First, there is an inflation-adjusted pension
of $143,000 per year. Not a bad return for five years of
work. Then, there’s the “start-up grant” for ex-gover-
nors general who want to establish a charity. Former
Governor General, Adrienne Clarkson, received $3
million to create the Institute for Canadian Citizen-
ship.
But the real kicker is that on top of all this, ex-Gov-
ernors General can still bill taxpayers for “expenses”
for years after they’ve left office. And taxpayers don’t
even get to know what it’s for.  Current access to in-
formation laws don’t cover the Governor General (or
Parliament itself, for that matter), so we don’t even get
to know what we’re paying for.
This shocking policy first came to light in 2011
when it was reported that Clarkson had billed taxpay-
ers for more than $500,000 for “temporary” secretarial

help since leaving office in 2005. Clarkson defended
the expenses as necessary for her to deal with corre-
spondence and requests for speaking engagements
that continued to come in after her term as Governor
General ended.
Fast forward to 2018 and apparently Clarkson’s
“temporary” needs have become permanent: her
bill to taxpayers for expenses now stands at more
than $1.1 million!
Interestingly, the expenses for a former Governor
General only appear in the public accounts as a sep-
arate line item if they exceed $100,000 — and since
1995, only two former Governors General have gone
over that threshold — Romeo LeBlanc twice (2008
and 2009) and Clarkson, who billed taxpayers for six
figures a staggering nine of the 12 years since she left
office.
Being flippant with taxpayers money is nothing
new for Clarkson, who served from 1999 to 2005, and
while in office was criticized for nearly doubling her
predecessor’s spending and overshooting her budget
for a trip to northern Canada by $4 million.
But as with most generous government policies
it’s hard to blame the people with access to them for
taking advantage of them.  We can, however blame
governments for not fixing them.
It’s hard to believe that in 40 years, no govern-
ment bothered to fix this policy — especially once it
became public in 2011.
Righting this wrong can’t come too soon. The
Trudeau government should act, and they have good
reason to since they’re already running deficits twice
the size they promised.
To get back to a balanced budget, they’re going to
need to find savings anywhere they can.
Eliminating this unlimited, secretive expense ac-
count for former Governors General would be a great
place to start.

Tarra and her husband

I am looking for your help

in shaping the direction
of Budget 2019.
As you are aware, our
Progressive Conservative
government in Manitoba
inherited a serious finan-
cial situation after 17 years
of NDP government.
Overspending by the
previous government has
led to historic debt that
doubled in just six years,
and higher taxes for Mani-
tobans. Decisions today
will impact all Manitobans,
so we must make choices
that responsibly move us
down a path towards a bal-
anced budget.
Our government has
rejected calls for higher
taxes from the Federal
Government, the NDP and
the Liberals. We have re-
jected the Carbon Tax and
Health Premiums after lis-
tening to Manitobans. We
have committed to lower
the Provincial Sales Tax
back to seven percent by
2020, and we are indexing
tax brackets and the basic
personal amount to align
with other provinces.
As our Finance Minis-
ter Scott Fielding and his
staff prepare for next year’s
budget, we want to hear
from you on the directions
and decisions that matter
most to you. This year, we
are seeking your input on
balancing the budget, sus-
taining health care, fund-
ing our education system,
and investing in our Made-
in-Manitoba Climate and
Green Plan.
The choices we make
together will affect you,
your family and your com-
munity.

1898 – An attempt was recently made to install tele-
phone service in our town, but owing to the fact that
there were no more than 12 or 14 individuals interested
in purchasing one, the promoter would not proceed.
1908 – Owing to the non-arrival of joists for the new
courthouse, work could not continue and the men have
been sent home. It is likely that nothing further will be
done to the building until spring.
1918 – The war is over and our people are rejoicing
with thankfulness that the terrible contest is ended.
1958 – Last year, the local Legion paid $500 in taxes for
the hall and got an additional rebate of $247. This year,
the tax bill is much higher due to the new assessment
and the Legion has approached Town Council regard-
ing a rebate. As the Legion Hall is given rent free to many
good causes, Council ruled that there will be some rebate
to be decided at a later date.
1968 – The Minnedosa District Hospital Board intends
to approach the volunteer firemen with a request that
they operate the ambulance on a rotating basis. Other
possibilities are being explored, such as the feasibility of
some fraternal organization taking over the service.

Lend a Hand to Festival of the Arts
SUBMITTED
I t is November, so it is
that time of year when
we start thinking about…
no, I don’t mean Christ-
mas, although that would
be correct. No, it is time
to start thinking about the
Rolling River Festival of the
Arts. This will be our 38th
annual festival, and the
dates for the festival are
March 11th to 15th, 2019.
The entry deadline is Janu-
ary 17th, 2019.
We have a small group
of volunteers who work
hard to put on the best
festival we possibly can.
Our chair person is Val
Dornn, who has lost our
co-chair Louise Uhryniuk
to retirement. Louise was
a valuable contributor to
our festival for many years
and will be greatly missed.
Val is the glue that holds
this festival together, and
she could use a few more
volunteers. As the saying
goes, many hands make
light work.
Our first meeting will
be held at Tanner’s Cross-
ing School on Thursday
November 15th at 7 p.m.
Our committee does not
have a lot of meetings,
which is a plus in these
busy times, so if you can
spare some time, please
come and join us and see
what we are about. Help us
make the RRFA’s another
successful event. If you
have any questions, con-
tact Val at 204-867-2432.
1978 – The power mechanics shop addition at MCI
was in a vulnerable stage of construction Saturday when
hit by 125 km winds that reduced the building to rubble.
School Division insurance will ensure that the building
to the stage it was at and the completion schedule has
been delayed to February.
1988 – Nine trainees at Frontier Trading Co. are known
as the “Frontier Falcons” and are participating at special
Olympics events at the regional provincial and national
levels. The Falcons are currently training for the Winter
Special Olympics in Neepawa in January.
1998 – Due to a staff shortage, ambulance service to
Erickson and area was discontinued on October 1st. The
shortage has been alleviated and the ambulance service
will officially return on November 9th.

Students Collect 1,200 Pounds of Food for Food Bank

By KAREN MITCHELL

T anner’s Crossing School’s service learning group,

LS!N, held its annual We Scare Hunger Food Drive
from October 22nd to 26th.  This year, the staff and stu-
dents from Kindergarten to Grade Eight collected a total
of 1,200 pounds of non-perishable items.  Mrs. Parrott’s
grade three classroom collected the most weight in food,
at 9.2 pounds per student, and won a pizza party for the
class, donated by Cornerstone Grill.
The entire 1,200 pounds of food was donated to the
Minnedosa and Area Food Bank.   Kerry Morrice, LS!N
leader, is grateful to all the staff and students who donat-
ed food for this great cause to benefit others.
LS!N is a service learning group which stands for
“Let’s Stop It Now”.  The aim is to help others in the school,
community, province and around the world. Currently
there are 42 students from grades seven and eight who
participate in the club.

seniors.
In the context of 2018’s

you to be vigilant and on
the lookout for these five
most common types of
scams that can impact sen-
iors.

of identity theft is financial

Trained and Ready, Fred Didn’t Go To War

By KAREN MITCHELL more advanced infantry World War Two, however ground at the mines for five
training. Training consist- his time never came. The years until returning home

A t the age of eigh-

teen, Fredrick George
Brown (Private H 28190)
voluntarily joined the
Army in November 1944
after harvest was com-
pleted on the family farm
near Basswood. His first
initial training was at Fort
Osbourne Barracks in
Winnipeg. This barracks
was originally the Mani-
toba Agricultural College
in 1906 to 1913. From 1914
to 1917 the site was used
by the Manitoba School for
the Deaf, and in 1917 it was
transformed into a military
ed of handling rifles and
grenades, endless drills
and all-around condition-
ing of these young men.
In the Spring of 1945, Fred
was granted a two month
leave of absence without
pay to go home and help
his father on the farm.
Before that time was up,
he was sent another two
months leave until finally
being discharged due to
the end of the war on Sep-
tember 2nd, 1945.
Fred was hoping to
head oversees to fight in
group just before his was
selected to go in late fall
1944 and Brown never did
make it over to fight the
fight. “My timing was all
wrong to get a bit of adven-
ture out of it,” tells Brown.
“I took the advanced train-
ing so I could get out and
see the world, and I never
got out of Manitoba,” he
laughs.
Fred married Eleanor
Ross on Christmas Eve
1944 and four years later,
they moved to Flin Flon
where he worked under-
and taking over the family
farm in the Basswood area.
Fred and Eleanor had four
children, two boys and two
girls. Unfortunately, their
youngest son succumbed
to Leukemia at the age of
eight. “That was one of the
hardest times of my life,”
recalls Fred. “It was an ab-
solutely terrible blow to
the family.”
Brown retired from
farming in 1989 and moved
to Minnedosa where he
currently resides.

renaming it Fort Osborne

Manitoba until moving in
