Strathclair Drama Announces Cast
By COURTNEY NEWTON
Publicity Director
Dauntless best friend

Sir
Harry,
portrayed
by Dylan Woodcock of
Minnedosa, is a macho,
slightly egotistical, brave,
romantic knight who decides to leave the kingdom
to search for a princess. He
fi nds Winnifred the Woebegone, portrayed by Oak
River resident Erin Brown,
who becomes one of the
many young women that
the Queen tests to see if
she is fi t to marry Dauntless. She is an independent and spirited girl with
a fondness for water. Sir
Harrys sweetheart, Brittany MacDonald of Shoal
Lake plays a sweet, energetic girl, who enjoys long
walks on the greensward,
picnics, and watching the
sun go down.
Eric Menzies character, the Jester, acts as King
Sextimus interpreter with
energy to spare. He and
Minstrel, brought to life by
Rivers resident Stan Runions, work together to foil
the Queens plans. Minstrel also acts as the narrator of the story, and has
an eye for Lady Larken.

are making up for their
size in talent and enthusiasm.
Andrea Playter
of Minnedosa has taken
on the role of Queen Aggravian, an overbearing
and controlling woman in
search of a suitable bride
for her son, Prince Dauntless. Her husband King
Sextimus, played by Cardales Terry Radcliffe, is

if you watch closely you
will understand what he is
trying to get across. Their
simple minded son Prince
Dauntless, played by Josh
Butler of Minnedosa, desperately wants to get married. The Queen has decreed that no one in the
kingdom may marry until
her son does.

Sweet Alibi Performs Sweet, Haunting Melodies

Sweet Alibi performs to a full house in Minnedosa as this years

final Expressions Concert Series performance.
By JEFF PEARSON
nother truly magnificent evening of musical entertainment hosted

by the Expressions Concert Series as they presented western Canadian
Music Award Winners,
Sweet Alibi on the evening

of Saturday, March 5th
at the Minnedosa United
Church Sanctuary. Performing to a packed house
the Winnipeg-based folk
/ pop trio entertained the
captive audience with hits
off their three CD releases.
Playing a variety of different instruments their

music has a unique sound
blending soulful and powerful vocal harmonies
with the sincerity of folk
and the foot stomping energy of roots.
Jess Rae Ayre, Amber
Rose and Michelle Anderson make up Sweet Alibi

and since 2009 have been
captivating
audiences
all across Canada. With
three albums of original
songs, over 360 shows
across Canada, 33 plus
Festival
performances
and countless interviews,
this trio is fast becoming
a well-known roots/pop
group. The talented ladies
are not only amazing vocalists, but also versatile
musicians switching instruments between songs
playing electric guitar,
acoustic guitar, banjo,
ukulele and harmonica.
The group had the audience singing, clapping
and stomping along to
many of their songs, and
for their encore performance the crowd participated in their signature
dance move coined the
Shady Garden.
Everyone in the audience was impressed
with the music and many
lined up to purchase CDs
and get autographs. Alice Peckel, Minnedosa
Rotary Clubs Exchange
student from Belgium, exclaimed, I really enjoyed

the concert! The music
was good and I liked that
they played so many instruments. It was awesome! Mindy Dobreen
commented The sweet,
sometimes haunting melodies and array of accompaniment combined with
the excellent acoustics of
the United Church made
the final concert of the Expressions concert season
a truly enjoyable evening.
Mindy is a regular fan of
the Expressions Concert
Series performances and
is looking forward to the
upcoming season.
Sweet Alibi was the
fi nal event for the Expressions Concert Series
2015-2016 and those who

attended them were impressed with the variety of
family entertainment they
hosted. Minnedosa is very
lucky to have such award
winning shows in the community. One of the event
organizers, Lori Harrison, mentioned the ticket
sales do not cover the cost
of the performances, if it
were not for the generous
support of local sponsors
and help from the government, Minnedosa would
never be able to have performances of this scale
in the community.
Stay
tuned for another exciting
season of performances
which will be announced
later in the year.

Rash Of Thefts In Minnedosa

By Cpl. DAVID TAGGART
n the past several

months there have been
a number of thefts in the
Minnedosa and Spruce
Plains Area. The thefts
are occurring most often
at night. The items being
stolen are vehicles, quads,
skidoos, gas and a few
firearms.
The Spruce Plains offi cers dont always work
the same shift and are
out at odd hours of the
night. Weve been working on these investigations
with other RCMP De-
tachments, RCMP Major

Crimes Unit, and Dakota
Ojibway Police Service.
Weve recovered some of
the stolen property in various communities. A few
weeks ago a snowmobile
was stolen from Minnedosa. We used a combination of vehicles and snowmobiles and tracked the
stolen snowmobile to another community where
we recovered it. Were
working with Dakota Ojibway Police Service on that
investigation.
There are things in the
community that can be
done to secure your property better. Often garages

and sheds are being left
unlocked. Also, keys are
being left in snowmobiles,
and in unlocked vehicles.
Th ere are always better
ways to secure your property ensuring you lock it
up well in a well lit area or
having security cameras.
If you observe suspicious
activity, dont be afraid to
call and report it. When
reporting please be descriptive as possible on
what you observed and on
why you believe the activity is suspicious.

When It Comes To Office Budgets,

MPs Should Show Canadians The Money
By AARON WUDRICK
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
ast December, a secretive Parliamentary committee known as the Board of Internal Economy
voted to give all 338 MPs a 20% increase in their office budgets. The total cost to taxpayers: a cool $25
million.
Oddly enough, even though the decision was
made in December, news of the Boards decision
didnt seep out publicly until late February, on a Friday afternoon right before Parliament shut down for
a week. Doesnt exactly scream transparency, does
it?
Twenty-five million dollars might not sound like
a lot in a budget of billions, but when rookie Finance
Minister Bill Morneau brings down his first budget
on March 22nd, Canadians will be bracing for a massive deficit with some speculation it could be triple
the size of the Liberals own self-imposed modest
limit of $10 billion. With so much red ink, MPs helping themselves to a 20% boost to their own staff,
travel and other expense budgets is sure to have
more than a few Canadians also seeing red.
After all, if MPs feel they have such a strong case
for this new money, why didnt they just come out
and make it? Keeping the decision secret, only to
leak it out two months later right before the weekend smacks of a classic attempt to bury controversial
news and hope that no one notices. A more transparent approach would have been to announce the
decision at the time it was made and justify it to a
skeptical public.
No doubt many MPs will argue they spend their
existing office budgets prudently, and need the extra
money to better serve their constituents. Thats pos-
sible but theres currently no way for Canadians to

judge that claim since we know little about how MPs
spend their budgets.
Until 2009 MP offi ce budgets were not even publicly broken down beyond broad categories such as
Travel or Other Expenses. By 2014, more detail
was provided including itemized costs for hospitality expenses. But details for many big expenses
are still vague. For example, what about some MP
spending $1,000 in the Gifts category? What kind
of gifts? We cant say. A few thousand spent on materials and supplies? Again, Canadians are left in
the dark.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has proposed an easy solution to all of this: simply have all
MPs (and Senators for that matter) post scanned receipts of their expenses online. Its a system already
in place for councillors in Toronto and for senior
politicians and civil servants in Alberta and since
MPs already have to submit scanned receipts to administrators in Parliament, there would be little red
tape. With a few clicks of a button, those scanned
documents could easily be put on the internet for all
Canadians to see.
If politicians know every receipt they submit
will be available for the whole world to see, they are
far more likely to be prudent in their use of taxpayer
dollars than if they can assure themselves that nobody will ever know.
Its time for our politicians to be more transparent with their spending and they should start by
posting their expense receipts, and show Canadians
the money. But until then, Canadians should rightfully question the need for a 20% hike to their office
budgets.

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
But What Do You DO?!

Living in
Paradise
By
VERN MAY
EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC
ave you ever tried to

explain your job to a
four-year-old? For many
of us, I am hopeful that
you have a simpler time of
it than I do. Its hard to articulate in simple language
that my son can understand what it is that I spend
my days (and an astonishing number of evenings as
well) doing in order to simply make the money to
buy toys. I share this with
the readers this week, as it
is rooted in this conversation with this inquisitive
youngster that my focus on
the task at hand is forged.
Yes, we can discuss the
challenges that face professionals engaged in rural
economicdevelopment.
We can easily slough off
the lack of results to a

short-sighted vision on the
part of council, the lack of
political will to move the
economic
development
agenda forward, or any
other hurdle that arises
when we try to create progressive change. However,
thats a cop out today and
it sure as hell isnt going to
be worth anything later as
well.
You see, in our work,
we are not measured by
what we ASPIRE to do. The
community doesnt levy
any points for what we
TRY to do, or projects that
we STARTED to do. Quite
simply, the meaningful
success of anyone in their
role is measured solely in
what they completed --
Wheres The
Heritage In Co-op?
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
ith the Co-op taking over a portion

of Main Street I was wondering why they could not
keep the old stone building
and renovate it to accommodate the new administrative offices? Too many
old buildings are being
torn down. Remember the
what got done. Even then,

sometimes the community memory can be short.
Down the road, your peers
and contemporaries will
remember you in one of
two ways either you were
someone that got things
done, or that you were not
eff ective in your role, no
matter what obtsacles you
were up against behind the
scenes.
On the frustrating days
when it seems a challenge
to make the wheels turn
forward at all, I remind
myself of my assignment
based on what projects
and initiatives I have been
able to complete so far.
Then I look down the paths
toward a destination that I
see as achievable and drive
forward. At the end of my
tenure in this position,
there must be a list of completed projects to stand as
the tally of my effectiveness here. Quite simply,
what is the legacy that I
leave behind for the salary
that I have been paid? Will
I be able to represent my
work in Minnedosa to my
children and grandchildren as having value? Did
I DO something?
Recently, I was on the
receiving end of criticism
for comments that I made
publicly in a letter to the
editor. Quite frankly, Im
not surprised to hear it.

However, the function of
rural economic development does not rest solely
with one paid employee.
It requires the active participation, vision and action by Boards, Councils,
the Planning District, the
Province, and even at a
Federal level. While we
charge forward locally and
make recommendations to
achieve those objectives,
any roadblock set upon the
path at any stage can sidetrack all progress. To that
end, I will hold those offi cials and partners to the
same standard and challenge them to articulate
their successes in these
key areas. After all, were
all paid by the same public
dollars, and our accountability to the communities
that we serve must never
be cause for doubt. And
you can bet that I will also
ask them: what is it that
you do? Please show me
what youve done.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk.
You can find me under the
Discover Minnedosa banner on Main Street, reach
me by e-mail at edo@

1886 Five teams with over two hundred sacks of flour
from the Plum Creek Mill arrived at A.C. Sewells last evening.
1896 Horses and other animals presently running the
towns streets are a nuisance that should be abated. Children and ladies are afraid to walk on some of the streets.
1916 It is said there are only 18 inches of water in the

lake above the dam which means Minnedosa will be in
darkness shortly, unless a kind providence favours us
with an early spring.
1916 A public notice has been put up in the new Post
Office which forbids smoking, spitting or loitering in the
building. Very often when going in for your mail, you
would think the new Post Office was built to accommodate smokers and bummers, which Minnedosa has had
more than her fair share of the latter as of late.
1936 Members of Town Council will receive $3.50
indemnity for each meeting attended to a maximum of
$100. Last year, indemnity was $4.00 and members of
council who attended all sessions received $84 for their
services.
1956 Minnedosa Safeway advertises baby beef steaks,
sirloin round and t-bone for 47 cents per pound. Friday
only - when you spend $2.99 or more you could purchase
a grouping of three coffee mugs for 19 cents.
1976 Mayor Jim Burgess and Minto Reeve Russell
Cook cut the ribbon to offi cially open the brand new
Credit Union premises on Saturday. The cost of the new
building, located directly south of the United Church is
$175,000 including construction and furnishings.
Tremont?
If the Heritage Coop calls themselves this
they should stand by it. I

a complete revamp and
still maintain the old style
charm.

Bantam
By LAURA GOOD
he weekend of March
4th was the weekend of Bantam Provincials. The Minnedosa
Bantam Bombers played
in Boissevain in the B
Provincials. First match
up was on Friday against
Souris Elks. Carter Hedley delivered a beauty
pass to Josh Good in front
of net and his shot found
the back of the net. Souris
responded minutes later
and the first period ended
tied at one. The Bombers
racked up three goals in
the second period unassisted goal to both Lucas
Parrott and Tyson Kawchuk. Josh Kindon fed a
pass to Erik Barrett who
scored our fourth goal in
the third period. Bombers
held on to win 4-3.
Game Two of the tournament was on Saturday
against the host team, the
Boissevain Border Kings.
The game was evenly
matched in the first period
and went scoreless. The
second period Boissevain
scored four goals and the

Bombers were not able to
catch up. They added one
more in the third and the
Bombers lost 5-0. This
placed the Bombers in the
Consolation Final after
getting the fifth place bye.
Bombers had to face the
Souris Elks once again.
This time, the game went
to Souriss favour and the
Bombers came up short,
losing 3-0.
This will be the final
season of Bantam hockey
for four of the players Josh
Good, Andy Peckover,
Josh Kingdon and Devon
Beatty.
Pee Wee
By GARY TOPHAM
The Minnedosa Minor Pee Wee team played
in the Brandon Pee Wee
League over the 15-16
winter. Teams were from
Brandon, Shilo, Souris,
Virden, and Minnedosa.
This league was very competitive and many of the
teams evenly matched.
Any team could beat any
team on any given night.
At the end of league play,

the Minnedosa record was
12 wins, three losses, and
one tie. Our record meant
we were tied for first place
with Shilo.
Shilo was
awarded first due to head
to head games.
For playoffs, teams
were grouped into two
pools based on their records. Virden, Brandon
Leafs, Brandon Avalanche
and Minnedosa were
placed into the same pool.
Each team played each
other and the top two
teams in each pool moved
onto the semi finals.
Minnedosas
first
game was against Virden.
This game was played at
Westman
Communications Place and was the
first time for many of the
players to play on the same
ice as the Wheat Kings.
The Minnedosa Bombers
took this energy into the
game and played a great
game. Final score was 9 to
1 for the Bombers. Scoring
goals were Cole Topham
with six, Austin Taylor,
Luke Gugin and Vic Lamb
with one goal each. Assists
going to Callie Maguire,
Payton Burton and Cole
Topham.
Minnedosas second
game was against the
Brandon Avalanche team.
As luck would have it many
of the Minnedosa players
were under the weather
with the nasty flu bug that
has been going around all
winter. Minnedosa played
their hardest but could not
find the energy to keep up
with the Avalanche. Final
score 9-4 in favour of the
Brandon team. Scoring
for Minnedosa was Cole
Topham with four goals.
Assists going to Austin
Taylor and Brooklyn Hedley.
A one and one record
meant the Pee Wees needed to win their last game
to move onto the playoff
round. Minnedosa played
the Brandon Leafs in this
game. Hockey Gods were
on our side on this game
as Cole Topham scored
in the opening minute of
the game with a long shot
that hit the goalies glove
and bounced in. Congrats
to Daylan Hunter (our
goalie) and Vic Lamb assisting on the goal. The
team used this extra energy to play one of their
best games of the year.

exchanged chances back

and forth. Cole Topham
scored his second late in
the second, assisted by
Vic Lamb and Austin Taylor. Leafs replied quickly
and the second ended
2-1 for the Bombers. After
many nail biting moments
Ryan Donohoe was able to
score twice on breakaways
in the third to secure the
win.
This meant the Bombers made the league semi
finals this past Sunday
and would play against
the Shilo Centennials.
The Shilo team reminded
everyone of the mid 70s
Philadelphia Flyers - big,
fast, and bruising in an age
group where there isnt
supposed to be any body
contact. The Shilo team
used their size to build a
3-0 lead half way through
the second period. The
Bomber team did not give
up, dug deep, and after
many great saves from
their goalie, Daylan Hunter, the Bombers were able
to get on the score board
with 1.8 seconds left in the
second. Vic Lamb scored,
assisted by Cole Topham
and Austin Taylor.
Half way through the
third period, Callie Maguire scored on a great passing play between Austin
Taylor and Cole Topham
to make it 3-2. For the next
five minutes the Bombers
threw everything possible
at the Shilo team, including blocking shots from
the point with their bodies. Many of the Bombers
have the bruises to show
for it. The Bombers were
awarded with their hard
work as Vic Lamb placed a
seeing eye wrist shot over
the Shilo goalie shoulder
with just over two minutes
to go. Goal assisted by
Cole Topham and Payton

Burton.
Both
teams
had
chances to win the game
in regulation time but
pucks seemed to squeak
by the posts. Game ended
in a 3-3 tie, which meant a
five minute sudden death
period. Both teams had
power play chances in the
overtime and both goalies stood on their heads.
Teams were still tied at
the end of sudden death,
which meant a three player shoot out. Shilo was
able to score once on the
penalty shots and Bombers could not find the back
of the net. Congrats to
Daylan Hunter in net as
he played a superb game,
stopping many slap shots
from the Shilo defence.
Shilo advances to play in
the league finals.
Bomber team was given a standing ovation from
the Minnedosa cheering
section at the end of the
game, as they played their
hearts out and did not give
up. We could not ask for
a better game to end the
year.
Four players and their
families from Hamiota endured extra travelling time
all year. The four are: Kyle
Johns, Cole Gunnarson,
Ryan Donohoe, and David McConnell. The rest
of the Minnedosa Minor
Pee Wee Team are: Dylan
Hunter, Brooklyn Hedley,
Owen Kingdon, Austin
Taylor, Luke Gugin, Vic
Lamb, Brady Ewasiuk,
Cole Topham, Payton Burton and Callie Maguire.
Enjoy the spring and
summer, keep busy with
other sporting activities
and heres hoping all will
be back for hockey this
fall. Only 200 days till conditioning camp!

Check Smoke Alarms

During Time Change
SUBMITTED
his Sundays time change marks a wonderful milestone for 2016. Canadians everywhere can begin to
fantasize about pulling out patio furniture, prepping
yards and a good old fashioned spring cleaning.
Before anyone even touches their clocks and mops,
Duracell and the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs
(CAFC) are encouraging Canadians to give one task special preference Checking smoke alarms and changing
their batteries.
Although smoke detectors are an essential in the
home, being out of sight up on the celling often means
they are neglected. Duracell and the CAFC implore Canadians to add the following tasks to the time and spring
cleaning routine:
Spring Clean Routine: Smoke alarms are very sensitive, so even dust or insects can trigger it to go off. Be sure
to clean the alarm with a soft brush or vacuum out the air
regularly.
Sound the Right Alarm: There are two types of
smoke alarms, ionization and photoelectric. An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming
fires, and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more
responsive to smoldering fires. Make sure you have the
right type of alarm in the proper areas of the house.
Gut check: Regular test fire alarms to ensure the battery and the alarm sounder are operating. This will also
familiarize everyone in the home with the sound that is
emitted when the unit detects smoke. Refer to manufacturers guide for testing procedure.
Replace the batteries: Its important to replace your
smoke alarm batteries yearly. Try replacing your batteries every spring when you change your clocks. For additional peace of mind, power your fire alarms with Duracell Quantum. With its revolutionary Hi-Density Core
and proprietary PowerCheck power indicator, Duracell
Quantum has been engineered to deliver.

RMNP Takes Precautions Against Zebra Mussels

SUBMITTED
arks Canada is taking

precautions
against
zebra mussels and other
aquatic invasive species at
Riding Mountain National
Park by consolidating boat
launches around Clear
Lake. Boats can launch
from the Clear Lake Boat
Cove and East End (at the
Clear Lake Golf Course entrance), while launches at
Frith Beach and Spruces
day-use area will be closed.
Riding Mountain National Park will continue
mandatory watercraft inspections for aquatic invasive species in 2016. Since
spring 2015, all motorized
and non-motorized watercraft entering park waters have been required to
undergo a free inspection
by Parks Canada watercraft inspectors who have
received specialized training from Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship (CWS) and the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources. In 2015,
Parks Canada inspectors
conducted over 2,300 watercraft inspections on

boats, canoes, kayaks, sailboats and paddleboards,
and 45 vessels were decontaminated. Permits and
decals issued in 2015 are
not valid for 2016.
The consolidation of
boat launches and continued watercraft inspections
are measures that Parks
Canada is using to ensure
the ecological integrity of
Clear Lake and other park
waters. These measures
will safeguard the health
and recreational potential
of our lakes for visitors.
stated Michaela Kent,
Superintendent,
Riding
Mountain National Park
Parks Canada is a recognized world leader in
conservation. As part of a
pilot project with the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans to monitor the
spread of zebra mussels
in Manitoba, inspectors
took water samples from
high-risk watercraft to test
for zebra mussel environmental DNA (eDNA). Resource Management Offi-
cers also conducted eDNA

sampling on lakes in the
park, and received permission from Manitoba CWS
to obtain samples from
surrounding lakes. The
samples processed to date
have tested negatively for
zebra mussels.
Quick Facts
Zebra mussels were
first confi rmed in Manitoba in Lake Winnipeg in
2013, and there is a high
threat that they will spread
to other lakes in the province. By working closely
with visitors to keep this
destructive invasive species out of park waters,
Parks Canada is ensuring
both the ecological integrity of our treasured spaces
and their enjoyment by
present and future generations.
Riding Mountain National Park is working with
the four western provinces
(Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
Alberta and British Columbia) to prevent the spread
of zebra mussels, and with

to connect with nature.
The Clear Lake Boat Cove

recently received several
upgrades, including expanded parking, a new
accessible
canoe/kayak
launch and improved traffic fl ow for launching.
Future improvements include new boat launches,
silt and sand control for

launches, and re-routing
of the Clear Lake walking
trail. High risk shoreline
areas will be re-vegetated
to prevent erosion and to
keep nutrients from getting into Clear Lake.

ommends that the 160-kilometre inter-switching

provision, created by
Bill C-30 during the 2014
grain-shipping crisis, be
phased out.
Th is provision allows that CN and CP can
use one anothers tracks
for 160 kilometres, so that
if one railway cant get
rail cars to an elevator or
terminal for pick-up, the
grain shipper can use the
services of the other railway, said Mazier.
Were disappointed
the review panel did not
listen closely enough to
farmers when we stressed
the need for these tools to
help maintain railway accountability and support

price competition which
can drastically impact our
bottom lines, especially
now as commodity prices
continue to fall.
On the positive side,
Mazier said the report has
met requests for protection for producers wanting to ship their own
grain, and funding and
support for groups wanting to purchase short lines
no longer used by CN and
CP.
We had hoped it
would go further and recommend short line operators be allowed more op-
portunities to haul grain

on branch lines owned
by the major railways,
but this is a good start to
encouraging the development of short line railways
that can better serve producers needs.
Producers also asked
that the Canadian Transportation Agency receive
more power over dispute
resolution between shippers and railways, and
that it get more support
for drafting and mediating
service contracts between
shippers and the railways
and the report includes
these recommendations.
I understand Trans-
port Minister Marc Garneau will be consulting

with producers on this report, and we have already
had a preliminary meeting with Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay,
said Mazier.
More work needs to
be done to address the
lack of competition in
grain transportation. The
report doesnt address
this at all, and this is the
fundamental thing those
in the grain industry believe lies at the heart of all
of our problems.

ed like to send sympathy to Daryl and

Karen Mitchell, Josh and
Lindy on the passing of
Daryls father Ken Mitchell last week. He leaves his
wife Muriel and sister, Audrey and her family. The
funeral service will be held
March 11th in Carberry
Presbyterian Church. Daryl was the United Grain
Growers elevator manager

in town for many years
before their move to Elie
where they still reside.
Gwen Lee returned to
her home in Shoal Lake
last week from her winter
get-away. Daughter Carolynne and John Nickel
also holidayed down
south and will be driving
home soon. Debbie Lee
holidayed recently with
them and flew home with
Gwen. Welcome back!

The women of Newdale celebrated World Day
of Prayer on Thursday,
March 3rd at the United
Church. This years program was developed by the
women of Cuba and was a
welcome to the children
and how we must nurture
them so they grow healthy
in body and soul. The Cuban population is only beginning to feel the effects
of their country opening

up to the world again. The
collection taken goes toward supporting womens
organizations around the
world. A short film was
shown that highlights the
beautiful island nation, its
products, markets and geography, along with those
immaculately kept 1950s
cars. They are very proud
of their free education and
health systems. Tourism
is their main source of

outside dollars. The afternoon closed over lunch
and a social time.
Th e Hall Board met
last week to hold their
AGM with most members
present. A new sound system is on order and hopefully this will allow sound
to be available in the basement from the upstairs.
Do you think spring
is arriving this early? The
roads have lots of horned

larks fl itting along them
and the geese are already
looking for open water.
Well have goslings by
the end of June this year!
Well have to check for
pussy willows later this
week too.
Hope everyone is
managing to miss the flu
bug and this wicked cold
thats making the rounds!
MHHC Looking For Landowners

SUBMITTED
ith flooding across

the province in recent years, there is a lot of
discussion at provincial,
municipal and federal levels on how to manage the
fl ow of water to minimize
the destruction of land and
infrastructure during high
water events.
As
a
landowner,
theres a role you can play
in this plan as well, especially with the help of the
Manitoba Habitat Heritage
Corporation (MHHC).
Th
e Corporation is in
the middle of a significant
wetland restoration project and they are looking for
landowners to help them

meet the project objectives.
Th ere are a number
of advantages to restoring
wetlands, but the main
benefi t that landowners
are often most interested
in is the actual retention of
water. Deloraine landowner, Gord Weidenhamer,
recently added a 10-year
wetland restoration agreement to enhance a wetland
already under an existing
conservation agreement
with MHHC.
Nature took a lifetime
to create it and to try to get
it back takes a lot of steps
and a lot of work. These
conservation
projects
help to restore the natural

lands and I think people
should take advantage of
them and really look at the
big picture. The land was
drained by previous owners, but it didnt provide
any benefi t as far as the
grazing goes, the wetlands
were still there especially
during high water years,
said Weidenhamer.
Th e 32 acre wetland
restoration on Gord Weidenhamers and Glen
Scotts properties is just
one example of the many
projects, big and small,
that have been funded
through MHHC with support from Environment
and Climate Change Can-
ada and its Lake Winnipeg

Basin Stewardship Fund.
Research and land
surveys are always completed in co-operation
with the landowners to
determine what the water
level should be at and to
provide direction on the
best means of restoring the
natural landscape.
Since Weidenhamers
land is in the headwaters,
hes hoping the reclamation of this wetland will
help to alleviate some
problems downstream.
If every municipality could look at these programs and utilize them,
I think there would be
real benefi ts to storing
some water and slowing

down water thats heading
downstream, said Weidenhamer.
Th e Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation
is a non-profit, Crown
corporation with a mandate to conserve, restore
and enhance fish and
wildlife habitat in Manitoba through conservation
initiatives that promote
healthy ecosystems and
biodiversity.
If youre interested in
participating in the Wetland Restoration project,

the Assiniboine Center in Brandon. Predeceased by her husband, Alex, in 2007, she leaves
to mourn her daughter, Sharon
(Cal) Goetz; son Jim (Joanne);

Boyd;
great
grandchildren
Courtney, Breanna, and Justin Goetz,
Callie and Kaitlyn Hood, Piper Boyd; brotherinlaw Jack
(Margaret) Boyd, sister-in-law Marjorie Young and numerous
nephews, nieces and many friends. Ella, the youngest daughter
of Donald and Ida Cleaver, grew up in the Moore Park area. She
married Alex Boyd on March 7th, 1945 and moved to a farm in
the Glanton District where they resided until 2005 when they
made the move to Brandon. Most of Ellas life was spent on the
farm where she was always by Alexs side. She always grew a
big garden and loved her flowers. Ella enjoyed curling, bowling, playing cards, attending dances, visiting, and the Saturday
night trips to Minnedosa. She was an excellent seamstress and
enjoyed knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, and going to bingo.
Family was important to Ella and she followed each members
activities, quietly encouraging and overflowing with pride. A
visit from any of her little ones would always bring a smile
to her face. The funeral service was held at Memories Chapel,
Brandon, on Monday, February 29th, 2016 with Rev. Barb Jardine officiating. Heather Grobb was soloist. Pallbearers were
Lyle Grobb, Bill Grobb, Don Grobb, Ken Grobb, Brian Cleaver

MARGARET HARRIOT PEARSON
MARCH 1ST, 1921
FEBRUARY 26TH, 2016
Margaret Harriot Pearson
passed away peacefully with
family by her side. Margaret
was born in Hilltop, the fourth
daughter of Anne and Gladstone Davies. She attended
school there before moving
into Minnedosa to work at the
Lady Minto Hospital. In 1944,
Margaret married her sweetheart
Harry Pearson. They lived on
the family farm, south of Minnedosa, until
moving to Brandon in 1972, spending their winters in Florida.
They returned to Minnedosa in 1979, living in a cabin at Minnedosa Beach. Margaret was a dedicated wife and mother, offering unconditional love, support and guidance to her family.
Family and friends were everything to Margaret and she loved
having them in her home where laughter was always the main
course. She was very active in her church and several hospitals,
feeling no one should be alone. Margaret also enjoyed the Red
Hat Society, especially parades in her Little Red Convertible.
Margaret was predeceased by husband Harry in 1986,
daughter Judy in 2001 and son Bruce in 2013. She is lovingly
remembered by her children Warren, Peggy and Tom, her many
grandchildren and great grandchildren, and her sister Florence.
The family extends a special thank you to Dr. Onyshko and all
the staff at Minnedosa Personal Care Home for their care and
compassion. A celebration of Margarets life was held March
3rd, 2016, at the Minnedosa Covenant Church with Pastor Jeff
Loewen and Pastor Murray Carter presiding. Minnedosa Funeral Service in care of arrangements.
DEATH NOTICE
NEILSON, Martha passed away March 8th, 2016. Funeral
service on Sunday, March 13th 3:00 p.m. from Erickson Lutheran Church. Donations can be made to Erickson Lutheran
Church or to Canadian Lutheran World Relief.

Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
I have a big
problem with excessive
foot odour. The odour
overwhelmed
my
cubicle and I am in an
embarrassing
situation
each
time
someone
comes to my cubicle. I
wash my feet twice a day
every day, before bed
and before going to work,
sometimes I soak my feet
with baking soda, or tea,
or salt. I use foot powder
which temporarily stops
the odour and I also tried
deodorant/antiperspirant
on the bottoms of my
feet. I sprinkled some
baking soda in my shoes
overnight but the odour
returns as soon as my
feet sweat. Not sure if this
has something to do with
blood circulation or my
body lacks some kind of
nutrition. I am desperate;
how I can get rid of the foot
odour? J.J.
Dear J.J.,
You have obviously worked
hard to combat this
frustration by using many
tried and true solutions.
Your absolute best bet,
make an appointment
with a physician and

seek medical advice, the
solution might be simpler
than you ever imagined! In
the meantime, head over to
a store such as Marks Work
Warehouse or a sporting
goods store and purchase
the best moisture wicking
socks that you can find.
Dear Reena,
I hear a lot of people
talking about composite
decking; what is it? Manny
Dear Manny,
Composite decks are
made from wood fibers
and recycled plastics. They
come in a wide variety of
colours. They are often
recommended for cooler
climates because the textile
can get very hot. They
are durable and quick to
install. Composite doesnt
rot and is very durable, but
costs about three times
more money than some
wood varieties. Composite
decking doesnt require
stripping,
sanding,
staining or painting.
Dear Reena,
Is there a way to clean
pewter items? Mine have
a dark hue to them and

I hesitate to try to clean
them with the wrong stuff.
Margaret
Dear Margaret,
There are commercial
polishes on the market
formulated
specifically
for pewter and other
soft metals. If you prefer
to clean pewter using
products from your home;
many people had great
results cleaning pewter by
gently rubbing it with olive
oil and cabbage leaves
or a very soft cloth. After
pewter is clean, consider
purchasing
a
neutral
wax polish to protect
your pieces from future
oxidization.
Dear Reena,
Flatten
Rice
Krispie
squares in a 9x13 plastic
container instead of a
baking dish. That way
you have a lid and dont
need to fuss with foil and
plastic
wrap.
Darren
Flattening Rice Krispie

Treats
Fridge Maintenance Tips

C l e a n i n g
underneath
the fridge can
be
challenging
unless you own
a yardstick and
a pair of nylon
pantyhose.
Use
a rubber band to
attach the nylons
to the end of the
yardstick.
Run
the stick under
the fridge to pull
our lingering dust
bunnies.
Here is a tip for
fridges that are
not typically kept
full. In order for
your fridge to run
efficiently; store
a gallon of water
inside the fridge at
all times.
Clean your fridge
before you shop.
This makes the
task easier since
there are fewer
items to move
around.
Store an open jar
of fresh coffee
grounds inside the
fridge to absorb
food odours.
Dear Reena,
I butter the flat end of my
potato masher, and then
press down on the Rice
Krispies. Any other flat
surface will do. Works
like a charm. Desiree
Dear Reena,
After
dumping
the
mixture from the pot into
a rectangular container,
I use a rubber spatula
that I have rubbed with
margarine. I might have
to re-apply the margarine
a couple times, but it then
slides effortlessly over the
sticky mess. Darlene
