Government Funding For MREC Expected in New Year

that would work on both
sides. It has taken that long
for things to line up and
work. I can’t say things will
work out but we are ready
and optimistic and very
hopeful.”
Crane Construction
of Brandon received the
project tender and were
tasked with design plus
construction. The pro-
posed building will mea-
sure 150 feet wide by 278
feet long and include R30
insulation in the walls and
R50 insulation in the roof.
The new arena will feature
a single ice surface at a size
of 200 feet long by 85 feet
wide with 28 foot radius
around the boards, dress-
ing rooms, full top mezza-
nine for viewing that seats
300 people, fully equipped
kitchen, washrooms,
sound system, offices, stor-
age, etc.
The total project cost is
$6,790,000 plus GST. With
tax, the project total will
come in at over $7 million.
At the local level, the proj-
ect is sitting in a good finan-
cial position. The current
MREC financial situation
consists of: Fundraising of
$980,000, R.M. of Minto-
Odanah - $180,000, R.M. of
Oakview - $30,000, Town
of Minnedosa reserve -
$1,540,000 and a Town of
Minnedosa debenture pre-
approved up to $3 million,
if needed. The actual de-
benture funding required
will be determined once
the amount of government
funding committed toward
the project is announced.
The MREC construc-
tion timeline will depend
on approval of govern-
ment funds. Jon indicated
that if the committee re-
ceives the go ahead with
funding from the Province
and Feds, then they would
have to meet with Crane
Construction to finalizing
and finetune everything,
obtain all permits, etc. The
goal would be to have con-
crete poured in early July
2019 with an anticipated
official opening date for
the new arena of fall 2020.
The committee wants to
continue to be transparent
with all parties involved
and the community. “Ev-
eryone has a right to know
what we are doing and
where we are in terms of
going forward,” explained
Jon. “When we know more
everyone will know more.
We are hopeful to have this
project wrapped up and in
use and have a close to the
project.”
The MREC project be-
gan over ten years ago and
has been a long journey
for all involved. In recent
years, over $1 million has
been invested to the out-
door facilities of MREC,
including baseball, soccer
and rugby facilities. The
next major development
at the site is hoped to be
the construction of the
new multi-use, year-round
arena to replace the aging
arena downtown.
At the present time,
the MREC committee is
not actively fundraising
and will not be doing so
until they hear something
more concrete regarding
government funding sup-
port. However, they will
still continue to accept
support and donations if
they come forward.

Pharmacy Remembers Wayne Currah With Memory Bench

By KAREN MITCHELL

O n Monday, Decem-
ber 10th the staff of
Minnedosa Pharmacy
gathered to honour their
former boss and friend,
Wayne Currah. Wayne
passed away in February
2017. Wayne’s wife Ingrid
and daughter Courtney
were on hand for the dedi-
cation of a bench in mem-
ory of Wayne.
Every year at Christ-
mas time, the Minnedosa
Pharmacy staff pool their
personal funds and do-
nate to a worthy cause. In
June 2017, they purchased
their first bench in honour
of late co-worker, Carol
Vanderhart. Carol was a
long-time employee of the
Pharmacy and her bench
is located at the Minnedo-
sa Dog Park.
“Wayne has given
back so much to the town
of Minnedosa and to the
people,” said pharmacist,
Jan Magnusson. “Through
the person that he was,
his time as mayor and his
time on committees, this
is a small way for us to
acknowledge Wayne and
what a big part of the com-
munity he was.”
For the location of
Wayne’s bench, the phar-
macy staff choose the
location of the walking
path along the beach road
(PR#262) because that
was a path Wayne walked
daily. The designer of both
benches was Midnight
Metalworks and The Town
of Minnedosa crew offered
their assistance to install
each bench.
“The bench is for all
walkers who need to sit
and rest or just pause for a
moment. The view is won-
derful and we hope that
Photo submitted
those who walk past or
have a seat on the bench
will remember Wayne and
who he was,” said Magnus-
son.
“When you work with
someone for so many years
they become your family,
so we definitely wanted
to do something to hon-
our him,” explained long- Photo submitted

Chamber Christmas….
Approximately 20 people including business owners
and staff of member businesses, attended the annual
Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce Christmas Lunch on
Thursday, December 13th at the Golf and Curling Club.
As in years past, those in attendance were encouraged to
donate to the holiday tree with funds raised being donat-
ed to the Minnedosa Christmas Cheer Board and Minne-
dosa and Area Food Bank. This year’s lunch raised $165
for the two local non-profits.
Possible partners...
The proposed Four Winds regional waste facitily for
communities north and northwest of Minnedosa was
met with a great deal of controversy, as was our own
Evergreen facility some years ago. Following a fairly ma-
jor turnover in elected officials, partners involved in the
Four Winds project have recently met with the board and
staff of Evergreen Environmental Technologies, between
Minnedosa and Neepawa, investigating the possibility of
becoming a partner. While this is only in the very early
discussion stage, this could be a future possibility.
Young stars on stage…
Tanner’s Crossing School students were in the
spotlight Wednesday night as they presented their an-
nual Christmas concert before a full house of family and
friends.
Memory Lights...
This year’s Heritage Memory Lights fundraiser for
the Minnedosa District Museum and Heritage Village
has once again raised over $1,100.
That’s a wrap...
With this edition, Ye Olde Trib wraps up another year
and closes another chapter of recording happenings in
our community. Being The Tribune’s 135th year of busi-
ness, this sturdy old business continues to celebrate suc-
cesses and battle challenges. Thank you to all who have
supported us over the past year and we look forward to
serving you in the new year. Happy Holidays!

Season’s Greetings From The Mayor
hristmas is a time to reflect on our many blessings,
our families, our friends and our community.
It is a time for fellowship and to give thanks, a time
to support those who are dealing with difficulties in
their lives. Whether it be the loss of a loved one, the loss
of lifestyle as they struggle with an illness or a disability
or those who feel alone. A smile, a kind word or a small
token of friendship can make a difference.
As the New Year comes in let us reflect on the past
year’s accomplishments and lessons learned. Let us plan
Holiday Wishes From The MLA
T he holiday season is a time when families come
together and citizens take a pause from the day to day
hustle and bustle of life to remember all the good things
we share as citizens of the Riding Mountain constitu-
ency in the Province of Manitoba, in the most wonderful
country in the world – Canada.
The tradition of community involvement is alive and
well in our province. Theatre groups, 4-H clubs, seniors’
organizations, service clubs and sports teams are just a
few of the opportunities rural residents have. These com-
munity organizations are something we can all benefit
from and can be proud of.
Volunteers are the heart of our communities and the
strength of our province, and I am very honoured to say
the constituency I represent in the Manitoba Legislature
Merry Christmas From The MP
A s your Member of Parliament, I wish everyone in the
Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa Constituency, “Best
Wishes for the Christmas and Holiday Season”!
Christmas is a time for us to reflect on what is truly
important: our families, our friends and our communi-
ties. As you celebrate this wonderful time of year, take the
opportunity to count your blessings and reflect on Can-
ada’s good fortune, rejoice in the memories of the year
past, and look forward with hope to the days ahead.
The holiday season reminds us to reach out to those
who may be less fortunate and who may be living with
hardships. It is important that we all make an extra effort
to help our neighbours who may be in special need.
As we look back on this year, we can be thankful for
the great prosperity we have as a country, even though the
global economy remains fragile. Canada can be proud of
being a model for other nations and being considered as
one of the world’s best countries to live in!
We can be proud of the key position our nation has
filled in supporting the development of values of free-
dom, democracy and the rule of law in other countries
that are facing important challenges. We are extremely

is rich with people with such commitment.
However, as we celebrate the festive season we need
to take time to consider those who have struggled over
the past year – whether it was through the loss of a job,
the loss of a loved one, wild fires, droughts, floods or tra-
gedies around the world.
I look forward to continuing to work with my col-
leagues for a Better Manitoba for you, and for all the cit-
izens of the province.

Forces and other law enforcement personnel, who are
instrumental in protecting us from the violence of ter-

your prayers, not just during this Christmas season, but
throughout the New Year.
On a personal note, this Christmas season is a special
one for me, as I wind down my time as your Member of
Parliament, and effective when the next federal election
is called; set for October 2019. I thank you for your sup-
port and confidence to represent our Constituency’s val-
ues in the House of Commons. My goal, as your Member
of Parliament, has always been to ensure that the govern-
ment recognizes the values of the towns, rural communi-
ties and farms that make up the riding of Dauphin-Swan

your family a truly blessed and peaceful Christmas sea-
son, and a healthy, happy 2019!

Immediate Roadside Suspensions Proposed
Under The Dome
By
GREG NESBITT
Riding Mountain MLA
I mpaired driving contin-

too many Manitobans, so
our government is adopt-
ing much tougher sanc-
tions against drunk driv-
ers while keeping more
police on Manitoba’s roads
to catch them. Under our
newly proposed amend-
ments to the Highway
Traffic Act, motorists who
drink and drive would lose
their driver’s licences, their
vehicles and a lot of mon-
ey.
Under our changes,
immediate roadside pro-

.05 and .08. These drivers
would face a new fine of at
least $200 for a first offence,
increasing to at least $400
for a third or subsequent
offence. Their vehicles
would also be impounded
for three days for a first of-
fence, seven days for a sec-
ond offence and 30 days
for a third or subsequent
offence. Those caught a
third or subsequent time
would be required to drive
with an ignition interlock
for one year. These new
sanctions would come in
addition to existing licence
suspensions and other
sanctions for drivers who
register a “warn” on road-
side screening devices ad-
ministered by police.
For first-offence driv-

come and choose an orna-

for their secret senior, and
then return the gift to the
office in early December.
On Friday, December
14th, the gifts were deliv-

year, this act of kindness
puts the real meaning in
Christmas. I am met with
reactions that truly warm
your heart. For those who

brings the message that
they (the seniors) are not
alone, that they are re-

ers who register a “fail”
on a roadside screening
device, indicating a BAC
of .08 or over but causing
no injury or death, police
would have the discretion
to impose a new fine of
at least $500 as well as a
mandatory ignition inter-
lock for one year instead
of a criminal charge. These
new sanctions would be
comparable to those ap-
plied after convictions and
would come on top of the
existing pre-conviction
90-day licence suspension
and 30-day vehicle im-
poundment.
With the new penal-
ties, a driver registering a
“warn” would face a cost
of at least $2,600 for a first
offence and about $3,200
for a third or subsequent
offence. The minimum
cost for failing a roadside
screening would be more
than $3,300.

would also be much more
helpful to police. An officer
would be able to proceed
quickly with the tougher

name and I will add them

sanctions for a driver who
fails a roadside screening
for the first time, rather
than spend four hours pro-
cessing that drunk driver
for a criminal charge. With
the new approach, road-
side testing would take as
little as six minutes so offi-
cers would be back on our
streets much more quickly
to catch more drunk driv-
ers.
Impaired driving is
the second-most preva-
lent contributing factor in
fatal crashes in Manitoba.
In 2017, drunk driving ac-
counted for 32 per cent of
people killed and six per
cent of those injured in
collisions in our province.
These numbers are way too
high.
With immediate road-
side prohibitions, our gov-
ernment would hit drunk
drivers where it hurts
while creating a culture of
sober driving and improv-
ing safety on Manitoba’s
streets and highways.

to bring Christmas to the
hearts of those alone. Fi-

1888 – A citizen thought he could draw water from the
well much better than the party that was doing the work
and was taught a lesson he will not soon forget. As soon
as he went to the well, it being very slippery, he slipped
and fell in. He was pulled out at once by holding on to
the bucket. He was not injured but received a very cold
dunking.
1898 – The pump factory is being removed to Main
Street into the building near the photograph gallery, for-
merly occupied by an implement warehouse. Mr. Man-

Minnedosa Archery Club Spans Decades
By KAREN MITCHELL
F or thirty plus years the
Minnedosa Archery
Club doors have been open
to area residents. Original-
ly, the club shared its pres-
ent facility, on the west side
of the old Armories behind
Cornerstone Grill, with the
Junior Rifle Club. The Ar-
chery Club was started by
a group of enthusiasts who
were looking for a chance
to practice their skills and
meet with a group that
shared a common interest
in the sport of archery. This
brought together shoot-
ers that were interested in
not only hunting, but also
those interested in target
competition.
The club’s current fall
session began on Decem-
ber 4th and will run every
Tuesday until the middle

Bramley, along with

The club’s emphasis is
on safety and recreational
enjoyment, however, if
there is an archer that is
looking to become a more
serious competitor, Wayne
would certainly be happy
to provide this opportuni-
ty. “Wayne has competed
at various high-ranking
Archery Competitions in
the past and is an excel-
lent instructor for anyone
that wants to learn about

thusiastic about,” stated
Bramley.
Every year, the club

Province Announces Expansion for Dialysis Services
SUBMITTED
D ialysis services are
being expanded in
Brandon, launching new
options for Westman resi-
dents living with kidney
failure, Health, Seniors
and Active Living Min-
ister Cameron Friesen
announced on Monday.
“Providing more op-
tions for dialysis closer
to home will allow Bran-
don and Westman-area
residents to manage their
own care without having
to travel or temporarily
relocate to Winnipeg for
home training and sup-
port,” said Friesen.  “Re-
ceiving services closer to
home is a cornerstone
of our government’s ap-
proach to improving Mani-
toba’s health system and
this significant measure
will benefit patients in the
region in a variety of ways.”
The province is in-
vesting more than
$500,000 annually to sup-
port the expansion, which
will make home dialysis
training and ongoing sup-
port more accessible for
patients in the region.
The home peritoneal
dialysis program, which
launched this fall, will in-
itially accommodate up to
12 patients.  Peritoneal di-
alysis cycles a solution into
and out of the stomach
through a tube to collect
and get rid of waste and
fluid.  It can be done with a
machine at night or manu-
ally several times a day.
The home hemodi-
alysis program, which will
launch in 2019, will in-
itially accommodate up to
six patients.  Hemodialy-
sis uses a machine to re-
move blood from the body,
clean it and return it to the
body.  Patients and family

members receive training
and supports to perform
the treatment at home,
rather than in the hospital.
“Together with our
health partners, we con-
tinue to enhance dialysis
services within the health
region,” said Penny Gil-
son, chief executive officer,
Prairie Mountain Health. 
“The Brandon Regional
Health Centre has been
offering hemodialysis ser-
vice for more than 30 years. 
We are now very pleased
to be in a position to offer
all three renal therapies
through the Brandon unit.”
The site in Brandon is
the only one in the prov-
ince operating seven days
a week to treat a growing
number of patients with
kidney failure.  It is also the
only site outside Winnipeg
with nephrologists (kid-
ney specialists) on staff.
“There are many

Moments in Riding Mountain: I Want to Ride my Bicycle
By KEN KINGDON
W ith winter well under
way and the Christ-
mas season in top gear, it
may seem odd to be read-
ing about bicycles. I feel
justified, however, given
that a number of kids, and
a few adults, are on course
to receive a bicycle from
good old Santy.
The real reason it’s
on the top of my mind,
though, is that bike riding
is still underway here in
tropical southern Ontario.
To be honest, it’s not quite
tropical any more, with
lows of -5C, but the roads
are snow free which makes
bicycling a commuting op-
tion.
Bicycling is also top of
mind because I keep fall-
ing over. I’ve had more
random bike wipe outs in
the last year than I have
had in most of my 50 years
of biking experience.
That’s right, I have 50
years of cycling history.
Which seems absurd. I
did the math though, and
while the first three years
of my cycling experience
were relegated to the mi-
nor leagues of tricycles, I
graduated to two-wheeled

N othing compares to
the aroma of baked
Christmas goodies when
coming in from the cold
winter weather. Our olfac-
tory sensations (our sense
of smell) contribute up
to eighty percent to our
sense of taste, and thus is
a very important part of
our ability to recognize
and enjoy flavour. The

regular activity in many
households this time of

bikes by the time I was six.
I may have mentioned
this in an article or two in
the past, but I come from
a large family where hand-
me-downs were a natural
part of growing up. Addi-
tionally, we didn’t have
a whole lot of spending
money in the early 1970s,
so we made do with worn-
out bikes purchased at
auction sales, or gifts of
used bikes from neigh-
bours or family.
At the same time,
there just didn’t seem to be
small sized bikes around
like there are today. Thus,
the fates forced us to learn
to ride on bikes that were
literally two sizes too big.
Which also meant that
a box, old paint can, or
stone was a standard piece
of bicycling equipment.
To start cycling, I’d stand
on said object, lifting my
leg over the bike’s cross-
bar, and prepare myself for
launch.
In an example of su-
preme positive thinking, I
could see myself majestic-
ally sailing down the road,
wind in my hair, the open
road calling to me. In re-
ality, cycling was a mech-
anism to winnow out the

Flaky pie dough is a
pastry that has a mixture
of shortening and/or but-
ter that is “cut in” so that
there are small chunks still
left in the finished prod-
uct. This aids in creating
steam pockets within the
crust, which helps with
the leavening process and
thus creating the flaky
texture. It is best to keep

weak and unlucky.
Since the bike was so
tall, I had to start it off on
a bit of a lean just so that I
could get my leg over the
bar. I had to throw myself
and the bike upright to
get it vertical, while push-
ing the pedal down to get
some forward momen-
tum. This required both
coordination and strength,
something that I am not
well known for, even to this
day.
At least half the time I
would fail to push off of the
box with enough force to
get launched, and I would
wobble about until simply
falling over on my side. To
increase the likelihood of
success, and to increase
the forward momentum, I
would start at the top of a
slope where possible. This,
of course, simply meant
that I crashed at higher
speeds.
Needless to say, my
bicycling experience start-
ed with skinned knees,
bruised shins, and occa-
sional contact between the
crossbar and the more ten-
der parts of my reproduct-
ive anatomy. I personally
find it a miracle that I was
able to produce three chil-
sible while mixing and
rolling to prevent melting
the butter and shorten-
ing pieces prematurely.
The best way of doing
this is to first focus on your
ingredients. Make sure you
are using ice water (water
from the fridge) instead
of cold water, and frozen
butter grated into the flour
mixture is ideal. The frozen
butter particles then are
already the required size
from the grater and will not
suffer from the warm fric-
tion of too much mixing
or “cutting” in. Secondly,
try not to touch the dough
with your hands too much,
as the warmth from them
will melt the butter. It is
best to form the dough by
folding it over consistently
with a chilled metal dough
IT’S A FACT!
dren…
It wasn’t long, though,
before I mastered these
big bikes. In fact, soon
my brothers and I started
looking for added thrills.
One of my fondest
memories comes from
that sweet spot in a child’s
life where fearlessness
and prudence are nicely
balanced, generally oc-
curring at age 10. It was
during this time, in early
spring, we learned that if
we rode our bikes into the
snow-filled ditches at just
the right speed, our front
tires would become lodged
in the snowbank, the for-
ward momentum would
stand the bike on end, and
we would do an ultra-slow
flip into the snow, landing
on our backs, our bicycles
toppling into the snow-
bank by our sides.
Caution soon trumped
creativity, and there came
a spring when I was just
too nervous to do it. This
event marked my gradua-
tion to more sensible bike
riding, and for 40 odd years
I remained amazingly ac-
cident free.
Until lately that is. In
a fit of folly and hubris, I
bought myself a pair of bi-
cutter (or called a bench
scraper). Once the dough
is formed into a flat disk,
wrap and place it in the re-
frigerator until thoroughly
chilled. Remove and pro-
ceed with rolling, ideally on
a chilled marble surface.
One of the main things
to remember when mak-
ing pastry is to not over-
work it. Overworking flour
with liquid will create
more gluten and thus a
tougher more structured
dough – save that process
for bread doughs. Chilled
vodka from the freezer is
a good substitute for the
chilled water in your pas-
try recipe because vodka
is 40% alcohol and alco-
hol doesn’t create gluten
formation in flour from
overmixing – so it will give
cycle shoes that lock onto
the pedals. I told myself
that it was all about in-
creasing my cycling ef-
ficiency, while a smaller
voice in the back of head
kept telling me that I
would also look cool. Stu-
pid voice.
I should have realised
that this was going to be a
bad idea from the start. Be-
fore I paid for my bicycle, I
went for a quick test drive.
Ahead lay a curb, over
which I imagined myself
leaping with ease. What
could possibly go wrong?
Well let’s just say that
my timing was off, my
front wheel hit the face of
the curb, I couldn’t get my
damn feet off the pedals,
and I proceeded to do a
lovely roll over the handle
bars, just like my youthful
snowbank adventures.
Except there wasn’t
any snow. I was lucky on
two fronts – I landed on
some lovely grass with my
bike unscratched, and no
one saw me wipe out.
Alas, this was just the
beginning. I have since
found several other cre-
ative ways to crash. My
favourite involved mak-
ing a very slow U-turn so
you a bit of a ‘safety net’. It’s
also important to note that
the alcohol will evaporate
during the baking process
so there’s no need to worry
about anyone getting tipsy
while eating your pies.
Cookies and quick
breads are also very popu-
lar, and they both rely on
baking soda and/or bak-
ing powder to rise. Baking
soda and baking powder
are considered chemical
leaveners. Baking soda
is  sodium bicarbonate-
and it requires liquid and
an acid to make a gas-
eous reaction. It is usu-
ally added to recipes that
have a naturally occur-
ring acid in the ingredi-
ents, such as buttermilk,
yogurt, sour cream, hon-
ey, molasses, and fruits.
The Minnedosa Tribune
that I could chat with a co-
worker. As airplane pilots
know, you have to have a
certain amount of forward
motion to prevent yourself
from stalling.
I relearned that lesson
the hard way, as I failed to
negotiate my snail-paced
turn while my feet re-
mained firmly glued to the
pedals, and I simply fell
over onto my side in full
view of my co-worker.
Interestingly, I have re-
mained largely unscathed
from these incidents. Per-
haps it’s a result of the
slow speed at which they
happen. Or, it may be that
my hidden super power is
that I possess super strong
wrist bones. I know, how-
ever, that I am literally an
accident waiting to hap-
pen.
So, whether there is a
brand new bike under the
tree or not, I hope you all
have a Merry Christmas.
Just a word of caution,
though - always wear your
helmet.
Ken Kingdon lives and
works in Leamington On-
tario, but still calls home
the Riding Mountain re-
gion home.
Baking powder on
the other hand is a com-
plete leavener, as it only
requires liquid for it to re-
act in the same manner.
The reason for this is that it
contains a mixture of bak-
ing soda and the balanced
amount of acid, along
with starch to help pre-
vent lumping. This is why
you will see some recipes
that call for baking pow-
der and others with bak-
ing powder and/or baking

Ridding Smells From Musty Old Trunks
Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
I have laminate floor-
ing in my living room and
leather furniture. Every
time we sit down they slide
a bit. How can I keep them
from sliding? Randy
Dear Randy,
Purchase rubber grip-
per pads, they stop furni-
ture from sliding. They are
easy to use,  just peel and
stick.
Dear Reena,
I spilt vodka, water
and lime juice on an an-

dro spent a few days at
Flin Flon this past week.
Nice to see Elsie
Kristalovich home from
the Minnedosa Hospital.
There was a great turn
out for the Sunrise Credit
Union Christmas celebra-
tion on Thursday evening,
with sleigh rides, hot choc-
olate and hot dogs over a
bon fire. Also, Santa was
present and you could
have had your picture tak-
en with him.
The Legion Ladies
Auxiliary were accompa-
nied by Doreen and Gary
Stapleton on Friday after-
(bottom part).  The liquid
left a white stain behind
and I have no idea how to
remove it. What can you
suggest Reena? Vince
Dear Vince,
It sounds as though the
alcohol in the vodka may
have stripped the finish of
your beautiful buffet. Be-
fore refinishing the piece,
let’s try this handy solu-
tion. Smear the area with
either non-bleach, non-gel
toothpaste or mayonnaise.
Leave for one hour and
wipe. If the stain remains,
lay a piece of brown paper
noon caroling at the per-
sonal care home. All en-
joyed the singing plus the
delicious pereski served
that afternoon.
Visiting with Tim and
Dorothy Maluk was Gord
Johnson of Nakusp, BC,
who was here for a few
days.
Visiting with Olive
Prokopchuk were Jack and
Gaylene Zirprick of Roblin,
MB. Recently, while Olive
was watching the birds
through the window, she
spotted a red breast robin.
Even the robin is confused
with our weather pattern!

or a tea towel on the area,
and press with a warm
clothing iron. Be careful
not to burn the wood. Re-
move towel and observe
the stain, if it remains you
will need to strip and re-
finish the wood.
Dear Reena,
I have an old trunk
in my basement storing
blankets etc.  It is off the
floor and we have never
had dampness in the base-
ment. This is the first time
that I have noticed a musty
smell when opened, not
mildewed but musty.  I
have removed everything,
and the inside looks fine.
What can I do to get rid of
the smell, so that I can con-
tinue to use this large spe-
cial trunk which is now 50
years old?
  Also, please guide me
with some suggestions
as to how I can clean my
the Personal Care Home.
We would like to wel-
come Ranie and Marie
Ashe who have taken over
the Frontier Restaurant.

washer and dryer, as well
as, my dishwasher.  All are
old but working well, but
I would like to freshen the
inside of them. Melva
 
Dear Melva,
Without knowing
what the trunk is made
of, it is difficult to recom-
mend a cleaning action.
If the trunk is wood, clean
it with Murphy’s Oil Soap
and water. If it is plastic,
clean it with dish soap and
water. If the trunk is fab-
ric on the interior, clean it
with shaving cream. If the
trunk is lined with paper
or cardboard, dampen a
cloth with vinegar and a
few drops of essential oil
such as; lavender or or-
ange. Wipe and dry. Leave
the lid of the trunk open
until it has aired out and
is completely dry. Store
a container of cat litter in
the trunk to absorb excess
moisture.
To freshen up your
dishwasher, run a pack-
age of Tang orange crystals
(or vinegar) through the
cycle. To freshen up your
washing machine, add one
cup of white vinegar to
each load for the next few
weeks. To freshen up the
dryer, wipe it well with dish
soap and water. Another
important  step  in clean-
ing your dryer is to remove
any lint build-up from the
lint trap after every use.
Although the lint build-up
may not be excessive, this
excellent habit will keep
you from ever allowing the
lint to build up to a dan-
gerous point. In fact, lint is
often collected by camp-
er’s to use as a starter for
campfires. Next clean the
lint trap with an old tooth-
brush dish soap and water.
Whoa, I’m out of breath!
Fabulous Winter Tips
of the Week:
Many people have
smoke and carbon mon-
oxide detectors installed
throughout their homes.
But do you have a heat de-
tector in your home? Since
18123gm1
11
heat detectors can be used
in areas where there is dust
or cooking appliances,
they work great in kitchens,
utility rooms and garages.
These are areas where a
smoke detector would be
giving off nuisance alarms.
Since heat detectors are
not interlinked, they can
pinpoint the location of a
fire.
Keep your car doors
from freezing shut; spray
the rubber seals of your
doors with cooking spray.
Make slippery steps
easier to walk on by sprin-
kling non-clumping kitty
litter onto iced areas.
Keep your attic well
ventilated. The colder the
attic, the less melting and
refreezing on the roof.
Note: Every user as-
sumes all risks of injury
or damage resulting from
the implementation of
any suggestions in this
column. Test all products
on an inconspicuous area
first.

T he Chancellors had
one league game this
past week. On Thurs-
day, December 13th they
hosted the Russell Major
Pratt Trojans. Mitch Col-
lyer found the back of the
net to open the scoring on
a short-handed goal. The
Trojans answered back
to tie it at one at the end
of the first. Chancellors
dominated the second pe-
riod netting 3 goals. Malik
McKay, assisted by Carter
Hedley and Sam Wilman
were first to strike to give
the Chancellors a one
goal lead. Our third goal
Chancellors High School Hockey Report
was scored by Konlyn Ne-
metchek assisted by Blair
Desiatnyk and Luke Par-
rott. Konlyn sniped anoth-
er goal unassisted to give
the Chancellors a solid 4-1
lead at the end of the sec-
ond. The Trojans scored
mid-way through the third
to cut the lead in half. Sam
Wilman, assisted by Luke
Parrott and Josh Kingdon,
replied for the Chancel-
lors. The Trojans managed
to squeak in a third goal in
near the end of the third,
but that was as close as
they would get. The Chan-
cellors won this game 5-3.
Liam Jardine played a solid
game in net with 35 shots
Friday, December 21, 2018
on goal.
The Chancellors were
in a tournament in Rivers
over the weekend. Friday
night was a game against
the McCreary Mountain-
eers. The first period went
scoreless. The second pe-
riod saw the Mountaineers
score to take the lead end-
ing the period up 1-0. Mid-
way through the third pe-
riod Josh Kingdon ripped
a slapshot to put the Chan-
cellors on the board. Both
teams play hard and were
evenly matched. Lucas
Beatty, assisted by Liam
Bachewich and Aston
Burton scored to give the
Chancellors their first lead
of the game. The end was
a nail bitter as Chancellors
found themselves short-
handed with just a minute
to go. With a power play
and the goalie out giving
the opposition a two man
advantage, the Mountain-
eers put the pressure on.
The Chancellors man-
aged to gain puck control
as Carter Hedley made a
pass to Sam Wilman who
scored with three seconds
left to secure the win. Tan-
ner Hanson provided solid
net minding for the game.
Saturday afternoon
was a match up against
Roblin. The Chancellors
dominated the play and
were able to come out with
a 6-0 win. Sam Wilman 1G,
Luke Parrot 1G/1A, Lucas
Beatty 1G/1A, Mitch Col-
lyer 1G/1A, Josh Good 1G,
Blair Desiatnyk 1G, Carter
Hedley 2A, and Liam Jar-
dine posting a shutout.
Saturday’s late afternoon
game was against the host
team Rivers/Elton Rage.
The Rage took an early lead
and went up 3-0 by the
middle of the second pe-
riod. Sam Wilman scored
unassisted at the end of the
second period to put the
Chancellors on the board.
This finished the second
period with the Chancel-
lors down 3-1. Penalties
The Minnedosa Tribune
continued to plague the
Chancellors with the Rage
scoring three of their seven
goals on power plays giv-
ing them a strong 5-1 lead.
Sam Wilman managed to
score once again unassist-
ed. Chancellors fell to the
Rage 7-2. Tanner Hanson
was between the pipes.
The next game is
the Christmas Classic in
Minnedosa this morning,
Friday, December 21st at
11 a.m. against the Rivers/
Elton Rage. Go Chancel-
lors!
