he annual Heritage Day

celebration at Minnedosa
Heritage Village was hosted
last Sunday, August 23rd.
Although the weather could
have co-operated a bit better,
the day was a success with a
fair sized crowd.
In years past, Heritage
Day was held on the Sunday of Fun Fest in July but as

there have been a number of
new Sunday Fun Fest attractions happening in the last
few years, the local museum
board chose to reschedule
their celebration as a way to
celebrate another successful
summer at the village.
Sundays event opened
with an old-fashioned pioneer church service in the

Hunterville Church lead
by Reverend Natasha Pearen. Th e Minnedosa United
Church did not hold its regular service Sunday and invited everyone to join in the
heritage service.

The Minnedosa Tribune
Respect In Sport Mandated For Hockey Parents

By DARRYL HOLYK
here are some notable changes being

introduced within the
Minnedosa Minor Hockey
program for the 2015-2016
season. These changes
are being implemented
and mandated by Hockey
Manitoba.
This year, before parents can register their
child for the hockey program, at least one parent
in the household must
complete the Respect In
Sports program. This program has been around for
some time and was developed as a way to educate
people on awareness and
recognition of bullying,
confl ict, harassment, discrimination, abuse and
general negativity between all those involved
in sport whether its players, officials or parents.
Coaches and officials in
various sports have been
required to take the Respect in Sports Course
for a number of years and
now, it is mandatory that
hockey parents also take
the course. The course
takes about one and a half
hours to complete and
features a number of scenarios. One local hockey
parent who recently completed the course is Tanis
Barrett. She indicated it
was straightforward to
navigate through. The
issues it covered were
practical and were good
reminders of how parents
can influence their childs
enjoyment of the game of
hockey and also impact
the climate of the game
for spectators, refs and
volunteer bench staff, explained Tanis. If you are
unhappy with what has
happened with your child
on ice, what do you do,
who do you talk to, how do
you address it?
Hockey Manitoba has
implemented this rule
for a number of reasons,

Mighty Power.
Music, games, crafts
and stories fi lled each day
of the camp which wrapped
up last Friday with a grand

Late Registration Fee of $50 will be charged for

all registrations received after Sept. 14, 2015
bit of a change this season. Instead of using the

full ice surface as in years
past, this year, youngsters
enrolled in the HIP program will be using only
half the ice surface. Special bumpers and smaller
nets have been ordered to
divide the play area in half
and having the HIP teams
play east and west across
the ice rather than north
and south. The smaller
play area is hoped to provide the young players
with better skill development.
By DARRYL HOLYK
Payment and complete registration for midget and high school

players will take place at a late date.
Registration fees can be mailed to:

Another change for

RRSD Welcomes First Female Superindendent

By DARRYL HOLYK
s the Rolling River

School Division prepares for opening day of
the 2015-2016 school year,
it welcomes a new Superintendent,
Mary-Anne
Ploshynsky. Mary-Anne is
the first female superintendent since the Rolling River School Division was established in January 1968
to replace the Minnedosa
Elementary School Division. Joining Mary-Anne
at the helm of the Division
is Assistant Superintendent Marg Janssen and
Secretary Treasurer Kathy
McNabb. All three are the
first females to hold these
positions in the Divisions
long history.
Mary-Anne takes on
the position of superintendent with a great
wealth of experience behind her. She has worked
in all levels of the school
system teaching at the
early, middle and senior
year levels. Mary-Anne
has also worked as a K-12
resource teacher, guidance counsellor, school

administrator,
student
services
administrator
and faculty instructor at
Brandon University. Her
most recent career, before
assuming the role of RRSD
Superintendent, was as
consultant in the student
services unit with Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning.
My leadership aspirations are rooted in a
commitment to providing the quality of life and
learning schools provide
for all students, said
Mary-Anne. I believe that
all students can learn, all
students have the ability
and all students have the
right to an appropriate education in a very inclusive
environment.
Born and raised in
Rossburn, MB, MaryAnne continues to reside
in her hometown with her
husband Bob, who is the
principal at Rossburn Collegiate. The couple have
three children Bailee
and Zach who are attending university and Jake

who is entering Grade 11.
Upon completion of
her own high school education, Mary-Anne went
on to Brandon University
for her Bachelor of Education, followed by graduate
studies in Special Education and a Masters in
Educational Administration. She also completed
a French Emersion program at Chicoutimi. Some
Minnedosa students from
the mid 1980s may remember Mary-Anne from
when she held a term position in Phys Ed. at Tanners Crossing School.
Parents entrust their
children to us, the educator, for the day. We are the
extended parent. The hope
is that the experience students have at school will
provide a foundation for
our children that will support a fulfilling future,
said Mary-Anne. At the
core, I am committed to
ensuring students success
and focussing our actions

so that all of our students
have a safe and effective
learning environment.
As she has been getting settled in her new
position, Mary-Anne has
reviewed the RRSD priorities. My vision is to continue fostering student
literacy and numeracy.
The vision encompasses
increasing staff capacity
and high quality instruction that supports a broad
range of students to learn
together and a broad
range of teachers to work
and teach together.
The 2015-16 school
year for Rolling River
School Division is quickly
approaching with schools
reopening on Wednesday,
September 9th. MaryAnne is looking forward to
her first school year as Superintendent and having a
hand in preparing todays
students to be our future
leaders.

THANK YOU
We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support on August 14th at Drews Benefit Social organized
so well by a great group of his cousins and friends. How do we properly thank everyone? The kids
took it upon themselves to organize this event; they went big and it was a huge success, we can all be
proud that we have leaders like them in our community. Donations have poured into the Credit Union
account and the 600 tickets were sold out as well as many support tickets for those that couldnt be
there. Small Town, MB was definitely well represented with young Aggies and their friends coming to
show their support. Numerous organizations, small businesses and individuals from all over Manitoba
donated great prizes to use for Silent Auction and raffle draws. My Basswood Book Club and friends
cooked up perogies and smokies to feed the masses. The Lions and Rotary Clubs manned the bar.
The local live bands kept people dancing and provided great music. There were so many anonymous
supporters as well that we want you all to know it is all greatly appreciated; reaching over $45,000. I wish
I could remember every one of you and thank you personally when I meet you on the street.
So many were unable to hear my thank you at the arena; if you were in the back half of the arena, by the
time you realized someone was talking on stage it was all over. Drew, Andy and I all spoke and like the
4-Her that I am and many of you are, I had to write it out on paper! So I have included my thank you here:

Someone asked if we wanted to say anything tonight and I realize the sound system isnt
the greatest to be heard but we definitely want to take this opportunity to thank everyone.
I cant begin to name names as there are so many who have helped make tonight happen.
Tracy Gregorash said it so eloquently at the NF Run in June; if I remember correctly she said You all have
your own trials or stresses of things going on in your lives but you still made time to come out to support
us and especially Drew.
You might look at us Cardys and feel sorry for the curve ball that has been thrown our way but like
always we have found the Silver Lining; all of you here tonight. Drew is a true inspiration to us all. Right
from that fun day of quadding back in April he has looked at all of this as a new experience to embrace
and make the most of.

Your generosity tonight will help Drew to make some changes to become fully independent. When he is
up and walking again, we know that he will give back to this community that has shown him such great
support. We are feeling the love. Thank you.
Just an update on Drew, he continues to work hard to keep his Cardy Crop Solutions Pioneer Seed business
going strong. Drew will be fitted with leg braces mid-September and when the hardware in his back is
fully healed he will start to practice walking again mid-October. We are very optimistic with the progress
Drew is making physically but Drew being Drew, nothing will hold him back. We appreciate your ongoing
spiritual support as well. We are so proud to call Minnedosa home.
Thanks again.

In Memory
We note the passing of two former Minnedosa businessmen this week, Bob Thurston and Bob Bertram. In
addition to his many years at Morris Industries, Bob Thurston will be remembered by many as a long-time owner of
Minnedosas Dari-Isle Drive In. The Thurstons purchased
the local Drive-In in 1986 and operated it for the next 17
years. Bob Bertram entered the local pharmacy scene in the
late 1960s and was a business partner with Bill Early. He became sole proprietor in 1974 and operated Valley Pharmacy
until the early 1980s. The Tribune sends condolences to the
Thurston and Bertram families.
More Delivery Woes
You can jump in your car

and drive to Oak Lake from
Minnedosa within an hour but if you expect our friends at
Canada Post to deliver mail between these two communities in the same amount of time you are sadly mistaken. We
received a note from one of our Oak Lake subscribers this
week informing us that she does not get her weekly Tribune
in her mail box until Wednesday five days after it enters
the Canada Post system here in Minnedosa. Its sad that in
this day and age you could deliver mail faster on foot than if
you send it through our modern national postage system!
Course aeration
The local Golf Course will be closed on Tuesday to accommodate a deep tine aerating of all 18 greens and several tee boxes. This process is done to ensure the long term
health of the greens and will be carried out by the local
maintenance crew with assistance from two outside turf
maintenance crews.
Principal changes.
As another school year quickly approaches, there are

some staff changes. A number of changes in School Principals will be seen in the 2015-16 school year. These changes
include Bryce Ridgen assuming the principals position
here at MCI, Shauna Price at Rapid City Elementary, April
Sprenger at Rivers Elementary, Kendra Walker at Oak River
Elementary and Wendy Harder as Principal at Westview
Colony.

TALK TO

Proactive, regular contact with your lenders is
another important part of
farming. Lenders consider
themselves as partners in
your operation and will
usually work at maintaining a relationship with you.
You should view things the
same way. As a farm manager, keeping your lenders up to date with what is
happening on your farm is
very important, especially
when things may be tightening up in cash flow or
profi tability. With proper
lead time, most lenders
will try to work with you
to maintain a manageable
cash fl ow and keep your
farm moving forward.

eos Bakery, one of

Main Streets oldest
buildings was demolished in August 1975. Built
around the turn of the
century it was originally
a pool room and barber
shop on the main floor
with commercial travellers sample rooms for the
Minnedosa Hotel on the
second floor.
In
1927,
Charlie
Cleverley bought the old
Minnedosa Hotel Sample Room building and
converted it into a bakery. The top fl oor of the
building featured living

quarters for the family.
Charlie operated the bakery for 20 years, retiring in
1947. Other owners of the
bakery included the Armstrongs, Mazeroles and
Penners. Reinhard Penner
bought Leos Bakery in the
summer of 1970 and continued to operate it until
moving across Main Street
to the current location of
Rosies Country Caf and
Bakery.
The building, located
north of Minnedosa Inn,
was demolished to make
way to an addition to the
Co-op grocery store.

a summer of tree planting
in BC.
Shirley Rose and Doreen Trott enjoyed a very
pleasant Tuesday afternoon at the home of Syd

also visited with Danny
and Evelyn Sherwood of
Kamloops, BC. The Sherwoods had arrived to attend the benefi t social for
great nephew Drew Cardy.
Darren and Gaylene Wiebe and family of
Wasagaming
attended
a special birthday party
for Shirley Davis over the
weekend. The Wiebe family also visited with Donna
MacDonald. Happy Birthday Shirley!

ts the thought that

counts. Im not dismissing the gesture, but the gift
selection says more than
you realize. I myself have
been guilty of it from time
to time, so I can speak to
this fi rsthand. When you
have resorted to a gift
card, it shows how disconnected you are from the
recipient of your well-intended gesture.
The gift card industry
is a popular one, raking
in millions of dollars each
year. No doubt, its convenient and easy to ensure
a fair and equal spend if
youre buying for multiple people on your shopping list. But lets admit
it, wrapping up a gift card
says I dont really know
what youre into, so here
go buy yourself something
nice.
Embarrassingly, this
same thing is happening
in our communities regularly. In the absence of a
meaningful relationship
with our youth, we allo-
cate a number to a line

item on the budget for
parks and recreation and
assume that it will sort itself out. Everyone is satisfied with the result, right?
Wrong!
Instead of pounding
our chests proudly about
all that were doing FOR
youth, we would be better
served to be able to share
what were doing WITH
youth. Under the current
model, we might as well
line em up and hand out
some gift cards.
We need to have the
conversation with our
young people. What types
of recreational opportunities do they want to see?
Are there programs or
facilities not available locally that is taking them
out of town? Are we losing young families over
this? Sure, we lay claim
to a recent Pan Am Games
medal winner, brushing
off that the family has relocated to Brandon to better support the athletes
training.
Its not all big ticket
capital projects. In fact,
we just might find that
there are a number of
quick wins that allow us
to meet the most pressing
needs and still reflect a fi scally responsible budget.
Lets recognize that
not every child in our
community aspires to
play in the NHL. Outside
of scheduled ice time,
what else can we offer to
spark the imaginations of
our rising stars? Maybe
its other sports or athletics, perhaps art programs,
maybe mentorship opportunities are all things
which appeal to our restless youth. Maybe its
as simple as providing a
venue for teens to have a
space to call their own
where they can develop
their own sense of community.
Th e truth is, thousands of dollars are spent
each year by Councils
and related departments
across the country to create activities and events
intended to engage the
widest possible crosssection of our population.
But how do we effectively
measure the return on
that investment? Does the
percentage of participation in those programs tell
us we have delivered what

the public wants?
Our young people are
more connected to the
world beyond their doorstep than ever before.
Their infl uences and ambitions reach farther than
our long term strategic
planning could have anticipated fifteen or twenty
years ago. But we need to
be adaptable to grow with
these changes.
Resist the urge to
choose the easy route with
a gift card of a solution.
Spend time to talk to and
learn from our youth and
find yourself in a position
to bestow the gift which
matters most.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk.

Health Foundation Donates $10,000 to Stretcher Fund

By DARRYL HOLYK
he Minnedosa and
District Health Foundation continues to support health care related
projects in the local service area. Its most recent
donation was presented
Monday when $10,000 was
given to Minnedosa Emergency Medical Services in
support of its fundraising for new stretchers.
Minnedosa EMS is fundraising to purchase two
Ferno Powerlift Stretcher
Systems which come with
a price tag of $29,000
each. With this most recent $10,000 contribution,
a total of $41,061.40 has
been raised. Hopefully,
the remaining $16,938 can
be secured in the near future to move forward with

the purchase of these two
much needed stretchers.
In the past fourteen
years, Minnedosa and
District Health Foundation has contributed a total of $256,910.00 to various health related items.
A few of the many items
the Health Foundation has
fi nancially supported include beds and mattresses,
vital sign monitors, laparoscope, surgical and care
supplies and instruments,
bathing tubs and chairs,
televisions and furniture
for patient rooms plus
much more.
The foundations main
source of funding comes
from accumulated inter-
est from estates, namely

the estates of Len Averill
and Mike Moroz. Foundation members encourage residents to consider
leaving all or a portion of
their estates to the District
Health Foundation so that
it can continue to support
health care related needs
in our area. Charitable tax
receipts will be issued for
donors and estates.
Further inquiries on
how you can support the
local Health Foundation
can be made at the municipal offices of the Town
of Minnedosa and Municipalities of Minto-Odanah, Harrison Park and
Oakview.

Household Tips and Hints

Dear Reena,
I bought a pair of
fl eece lined jeans and am
fi nding the dye is coming
off on my hands when I
wear them. I have washed
them inside out in cold
water and also washed
them with 1 cup of vinegar in cold water and they
are still making my hands
navy from the dye. Is there
another way of washing
them to get rid of the excess dye! Bev
Dear Bev,
This may be the result
of defective dye, but most
likely will cure itself over
time. Here are a few hints
to help speed up the process of making your jeans
colorfast. Soak the jeans
for a few hours in plain
old straight white vinegar.

Next wash them in the hottest water possible (you
can use cold water but the
color setting process will
take longer). If the dye is
still not colorfast, bring the
jeans to the store and explain the situation.
Dear Reena,
I have underarm
stains on a sweater of
mine, how can I try to remove them?It is only under one armpit. Linda
Dear Linda,
For underarm perspiration stains on shirts,
rub with Sunlight laundry
soap before washing. Or
combat underarm stains
by setting the shirt in half
cup (125 mL) washing
soda or borax or white

vinegar and two cups (500
mL) water and soaking or
boiling. Wash as normal.
Or sprinkle with 3% hydrogen peroxide and cream
of tartar (test first). Leave
for a few hours in the sun
and wash. Another option
is to soak stains in mouthwash before washing.If
the shirts were previously
machine dried, the stains
are set and therefore may
require more than one of
the solutions above.
FABULOUS TIP
OF THE WEEK
Add a little beef stock
to your poultry gravy, it
improves the taste immensely. Submitted by:

SEPTEMBER 19TH, 1955
AUGUST 11TH, 2015
Joyce Ann Gudbranson, our
beloved Mom, Nanny, Sister,
Auntie, Friend, Co-Worker and
overall Superwoman peacefully passed away. She was 59
years old.
Born in Erickson MB, she
settled her roots in the area her
entire life being raised in Onanole and settling in Erickson to
raise her family. Mom worked for
various employers throughout the
years, most recently working for
Erickson Heritage Co-op. Moms
genuinely kind nature, infectious smile
and giggle was always enjoyed by her customers and co-workers and will be missed. Mom was also a valued Legion member
and supporter.
Mom enjoyed the outdoors, gardening, quilting, crossword
and jig saw puzzles and being with her best friend Daisy. Her
true pride and joy was her family. She always expressed great
pride in her daughters and especially her grandchildren, Liam
and Jackson who had a special connection with their Nanny.
This connection will stay with them forever. She was considered
a favourite Auntie by many of her nieces and nephews. Everyone who knew her felt truly blessed to have her in their lives.
Mom was a hard worker, who always showed strength, kindness and acceptance for everyone. Her legacy will carry on in
her children, grandchildren and family.
Mom was pre-deceased by her parents John and Henriette
Macey, her wonderful husband Ernie Gudbranson and her
brother Richard Macey. She leaves to celebrate her life: daughters Laurie (Kevin) Bachewich and Cheryl Gudbranson, grandchildren Liam and Jackson Bachewich, sisters Olive Campbell
of Alberta and Joan Woychyshyn of Erickson, sistersinlaw

ROBERT (BOB) THOMAS BERTRAM

MARCH 27TH, 1943 AUGUST 20TH, 2015
After what he would have
called a pretty good day, our
treasured
husband,
Dad,
Grandpa and Bobo left us suddenly, two days after his sister
Eleanor passed away.
Bob was born in Shoal Lake,
MB. As a child, he grew up in
the communities of Morden and
Langruth, Manitoba. It was in
Langruth where he met the love
of his life, Linda, and decided that it
would be a good thing to marry
her. One good decision lead to others,
which resulted in two children, Michael and Sharri. They celebrated their 50th Anniversary this past June.
Dad dedicated his life to being a pharmacist for 48 years. It
was this career that brought him and Mom to Minnedosa, in
1968, to open Valley Pharmacy. He loved to spend his days seeing people, listening to their stories, and helping with whatever
they needed. Pharmacy also allowed Mom and Dad the opportunity to travel to Northern Canada to work in remote communities and experience a part of Canada to which they never
would have travelled.
Our Dad was awesome. He spent countless hours dragging
us around the lake water skiing, trying to convince a fish to grab
red and white spoons, standing at the top of a hill on cold winter days sending ski racers down the course, going to hockey
games, ringette games and band concerts. However, his greatest joy and pride came from being Grandpa at Mikes house and
Bobo at Sharris. When Grandpa/Bobo came to town you were
guaranteed a trip to the Disney store, dinner out, and maybe a
trip to the theater or a museum. He came for concerts, curling
games, speed skating, church pageants, graduations and other
school celebrations, and he was always the first one to express
how proud he was.
Dad loved travelling, golfing, living in Minnedosa, fishing, the
Boney M Christmas Album, ice cream, coffee time at Chipperfields and, most of all, our Mom. Starting most days with, What
are our plans for today Nana? They spent very little time apart.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to
the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Services for their efficiency,
professionalism, and effort on Thursday night. We would also
like to thank the Staff of HSC for all they did, especially Nurse
Sabrina - you may not realize how your calm voice and support
helped us during that crazy night.
Missing him terribly is his family, Linda, Mike, Lisa, Sharri
and Stu; his grandchildren: Andrew, Logan, Hannah, Sarah
and Emma. Our hearts go out to his brother Laurence, his wife
Christine, nephew Kori, and their families in what must be one
of the hardest weeks of their lives, as well as the Jackson clan,
his cousins, his coffee crew and dear friends.
A celebration of Bobs life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 28th at the Minnedosa United Church. In lieu of
flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or The Minnedosa United Church.
Dad - grab Eleanors hand, hold on real tight, and together
you can go to wherever you need to be. We will miss you both
forever.
Minnedosa Funeral Service in care of arrangements.
Its not a thing

of the past!

Remarkable Teacher Still Educating Students at 73

By PEG WHITTINGHAM
Former Tribune Reporter
t took a journey of over

3,500 kms to meet a remarkable teacher born
about an hours drive from
Minnedosa.
Roxienne
Prestone
(nee Cody), 73, began life
on the family farm 13 miles
out of the small French
community of Sainte Rose
du Lac. Her parents, Elmer and Irma (Stolz), provided the rural roots that
would take their daughter
from the shadow of Riding
Mountain National Park
to the glacier-fed Kluane
Lake in the Yukon.
Serving the educational needs of the Burwash
Landing and Destruction
Bay communities, Mrs.
Prestone has carved out a
valuable, and dwindling
profession of yesteryear
that being a multi-level
curriculum instructor for
under 10 pupils in an area
of 100 people.
Sitting in a smallsized desk, I gazed out the
window to the spectacular view of the St. Elias
Mountain range which
cannot be seen properly, without leaning up
against the window to
capture the full expanse
rising to over 5,000m.
Today, Mrs. Prestone
is busy organizing her
students for an excursion
involving a salmon stewardship program. Graduates such as myself have
undergone a large classroom environment with
25-30 same-age students
all enrolled in for example, grade six. Textbook
oriented.
Mrs. Prestone advocates the retention of
small sized schools having started out in Dog
Creeks One-Room facility with 24 students. Needless to say, classroom
management was a vital
skill. Putting the time
into preparing each days
lessons was the difference between a smooth
session and kaos, she
laughs.
Today, her tiny classroom is host to children
of former students. I sat
behind primary grade
children who I noticed
were being quietly guided
by the older pupils. They
are a lot like older brothers,
said Mrs. Prestone. Even
though some are cousins
or relatives in some way,

theyre more cognizant of
the little guys. That feeling of family-like security
within a caring teacherstudent relationship can
only build resilience along
with knowledge. Something precious is lost in the
governments bigger is better thinking (whereby) the
students are bussed miles
and miles away. Theyre
losing that school family,
laments Mrs. Prestone.
Love of her chosen vocation and regard for the
First Nation community
is what makes this knowledge giver so valuable.
Who was your favorite
teacher?, I ask. Her answer
doesnt surprise me. Its
back to Sainte Rose. It
was a teacher in Manitoba,
Grades 4 and 5, a Miss Arbez, she says quickly, She
was kind and elegant.
Its a good thing Mrs.
Prestone wasnt a OneRoom School teacher back
in the late 1800s when
lamps needed filling,
One Room School

teachers lived in the
school itself and Kluane
Lake School is authentic in
the accommodation. Her
apartment is cozy and that
mountain range view from
her window- postcard perfect. A large working table
signifies many hours spent
on teacher-directed projects. I tell people I walk
to work no matter if its
raining, sleet or snowing,
winked Mrs. Prestone.
They always respond with
a Oh, myvery impressive but basically, I open
my door and walk across
the hallway. Depicted on
the wall of her living room
are drawings hand painted
by her students. Colourful
hummingbirds and fireweed, two of her favourite
things, draw ones eyes upward. The students drew
those when my husband
died, she explained. The
artistic component was
impressive and their teacher, a natural cheerleader,
hesitated momentarily as

chimneys cleaned and female teachers dismissed if

they committed the unpardonable off ense of getting
married. No, she was able
to teach for 20 years even
after marrying Joel, a mechanic and tow truck operator whom she met while
employed in Dog Creek.
Interesting times, is how
she condenses adventures

with stints in a One Room
School in Quesnel, as well
as work in Faro, Haines
Junction, Prince George
and Williams Lake areas.
anyone would, recalling

the powerful gesture made
by collaborative, compassionate children.
Who gives teachers
the best life lessons? Its an
intricate balance of dual
respect mixed with enthusiastic motivation involving the pupils, community,
parents and peers. When
the light of understanding fl ickers, the teacher is
there with the appropriate
fuel.
Mrs. Prestone excels
in the delivery of her longterm pet project focused

on classroom salmon
incubators. The spawning habitat, types of species, their long distance
journey to spawn and the
extraordinary
lifecycle
form a foundation of environment intelligence for
these
outdoor-oriented
children. I started in the
fall of 1990, with biologist,
Trix Tanner, noted Mrs.
Preston.
My classroom experience began with the multilevel discussion courtesy
of biologist, and Environmental Consultant, Nick
de Graff , of Whitehorse.
Th e sheer complexity of
the salmon passage route
from stream to ocean
and the intrinsic relationship between upwelling
groundwater, exact temperature and depth for
safe egg fertilization was
enthralling. Traditional,
local and academic-based
conservation knowledge
in one stride.
One activity I noticed
was the One-Room school
eff ect on the class. Older
students, having prior
lessons under their belt,
reinforced the small fry
experience and comprehension level. I remember
hearing from former students that one could hone
the skill of professional
eavesdropping quite nicely. Next, we gathered for
transport to the nearest
spawning grounds to view
the ripples of red-streaked
Chum salmon fighting
their way up the migration
stream where the male
and female will guard the
freshly laid and fertilized
eggs. The mottled physical
appearance of the salmon
at the end of their life-
cycle was startling. Its an

all-out battle to the finish
for these salmon as they
navigate upstream around
beaver dam obstructions,
silt-laden creeks downstream from mines, with
invasive species thrown in
the mix to threaten other
aquatic species.
Oh, and the grizzly
bears, too. It was dinnertime and they dont need
a reservation. Mrs. Prestone spots the occasional
grizzly, one of 7,000, sauntering by the school yard.
Black bears? Theres about
10,000 inhabitants. In fact,
Territory officials say Yukoners are outnumbered
by moose two to one.
With a wilderness area of
483,450 sq kms, the human population is less
than Brandon. Arriving at
the spawning shore bear
visitation signs are everywhere and I suddenly turn
into a southern chicken,
a 50 walking bear bait.
Partially eaten salmon are
strewn about, berry loaded mounds of scat have my
senses in overload. I measure a paw print and then
measure further where
the claws make contact.
The children are ho-hum
calm.Yikes, theres a bear
tree resplendent with orange-coloured hair worn
off by a good scratch. Hey,
wait one minute, the bark
is broken about a metre
higher than my height.
Th e children show
me the exact position of
where the standing grizzly paws align with the
sunken earth. Years upon
years of using the same
scratching post. I turn
around and look for Mrs.
Prestone following close
behind her just in case she

needs me for something.
All of sudden, the quiet is
broken with a loud honking, honking. I jump out
of my boots. This time its
staff informing the grizzlies were here in Yukon
style. We have loaded rifl es, dont worry, I repeat
to myself several times.
The children by this time
are nestled on the shore
side by side with their
snow suits and handmade frontier-like hats
bobbing in conversation.
All in a row, in one of the
most beautiful outdoor
classrooms Ive seen. In
this moment, I note the
pride of Mrs. Prestone as I
watch her descent into the
freezing water to provide
hands-on assistance for
what will be her last goaround with raising little
fry and releasing them
into the world. Im talking
about the fish.
Her charges at this
point are listening intently
to a lecture about a stream
not streaming video onto
their phones. This month,
the fall fry were released
into the stream. We had
close to 600 eggs, noted
Mrs. Prestone.
Three
other Yukon schools are
included in the incubator
stage with varying degrees
of success to be studied at
a later date. We do well
I think because the Kluane (incubation) water
flows out of the Lake. No,
I beg to differ. I believe you
and your current and former students do well Mrs.
Prestone, because youre
swimming upstream, elegantly I might add, in your
own natural habitat.
