A t the end of 2018, Heritage Co-op amalgamated

with Strathclair Co-op and for 2019, the Heritage
Co-op reach to new communities will continue. It has
been announced that Heritage Co-op has purchased
the Bigway Foods store in Rivers and is proud to offi-
cially become a member of the Rivers community in
spring 2019. The recent sale has the current owners
and Heritage Co-op management and board excited
about the future of the store.
“We’re ready to show Rivers the Co-op difference,
and that extends beyond great products and service,”
said Heritage Co-op General Manager, Lorne Zacha-
rias. “We strive to be a true member of the communi-
ties we serve, and that means supporting community
groups and initiatives and caring about the causes our
lars spent will be invested back into the communities
served. Heritage Co-op also encourages community
members to take advantage of Co-op’s lifetime mem-
bership benefits – another important feature of the
Co-op difference. Members are owners and share in
the profits of their Co-op. Purchases made at Heritage
Co-op locations gain members equity, and each year
members receive cash back for a portion of this equity.
“It’s easy to earn cash back just by shopping at
Co-op for your everyday needs, and it’s easy to shop at
Heritage Co-op locations, now in seven different com-
munities,” said Zacharias. “With Rivers’ close proximity
to Brandon, shoppers will also be happy to know that
they can gain equity when they shop at our Rivers loca-
tion and our Brandon location.”
ting to know the community and its members better.
“We have long felt like Rivers was part of our overall
Heritage Co-op community, so it’s exciting that we
can now officially call Rivers one of our communities
served” said Zacharias.
The official transition of ownership by Heritage
Co-op will happen in April 2019, with the specific date
to be determined. During this transition, the Rivers
store will operate as usual. All employees of the Rivers
Bigway Foods will be given the opportunity to remain
employed at the store once Heritage Co-op takes own-
ership.

The Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) is a voluntary, confidential, self-
assessment of a producer's own farm or ranch that assists farm
managers in identifying agri-environmental assets and risks and
developing an action plan to reduce the identified risks. Environmental
Farm Planning began in Manitoba in 2004 and continues to be a high
priority for Federal and Provincial governments. It also offers access to
funding dollars to complete projects identified through the EFP process.
Environmental farm planning improves the health and value of your farm,
your business and leaves behind your legacy for the next generation of
farmers.

Darryl a.Holyk - PublisHer anD eDitor
Around
Town... By Darryl Holyk
To the snow folks…
I think all of our snow removal crews – whether muni-
cipal, provincial or privately owned, deserve a big round
of applause. As with past snowfalls, the heavy snowfall
earlier this week was quickly cleared away in a very ef-
ficient manner. While some prefer to complain that the
snow is not removed quick enough, while sitting on their
rear-ends doing nothing about it, I think we are pretty
darn fortunate when it comes to snow clearing practices.
It can’t all be cleared at once with a quick snap of a finger,
but constant work by many gets the job done as quick as
possible.
Look both ways…
It’s an old saying that should be common sense, but
we all know there seems to be a lack of that these days!
“Look Both Ways Before You Cross The Street” should be
something we all do – no matter what our age. Recently,
I witnessed an adult jay-walk across Main Street without
looking to see if there were any vehicles coming. I spot-
ted him but I don’t think the vehicle beside me did until
the very last moment. Thankfully all vehicles were able to
stop in time and what could have been a horrible tragedy
was avoided.
Go to the game…
We have a pair of tickets to give away for the Bran-
don Wheat Kings game next Friday night, February 8th
as they face off against the Swift Current Broncos. To win,
be the first caller to our office (204-867-3816) with the
correct answer to the following question: Who scored
the first goal for the Minnedosa Bombers in the game in
Gladstone against the Lakers on January 25th? The an-
swer can be found somewhere in today’s edition.
Weather predictor...
Tomorrow, Saturday, February 2nd is Groundhog
Day. I am not holding out much hope for nature’s little
weather predictor and if he is smart, he will stay in his
burrow and try to keep warm!

Preparation and Common Sense
to Survive Winter Weather
By DARRYL HOLYK
W e have certainly been getting more than our fair
share of frigid temperatures this winter, but then
again it is Manitoba so we should come to expect the
extreme cold. Most of us complain about the cold,
almost as if it has come as a complete surprise to us!
Sure, I prefer summer weather over what we are cur-
rently experiencing, but you can always bundle up to
keep warm. We are fortunate that all we have to deal
with weather wise is a few blizzards and extreme cold
spells in winter. I will gladly take that over areas that
experience earthquakes, hurricanes and other horrific
weather disasters.
What is, however, somewhat frightening to me is
the number of people who do not dress or prepare for
extreme winter weather. There are numerous motor-
ists who do not have any extra clothing, blankets, etc.
in their vehicles while travelling in winter. Too many
people relay on their cell phones as a rescue, think-
ing, “if I get stuck, I’ll just call for help”. Cell phones are
definitely a valuable asset, especially in an emergency
situation, but I also like to have a backup plan just in
case, for some reason you get stranded out on the road
and can’t use your cell phone. What if you forget your
phone at home? Get caught in an area where you have
no or poor cell service? We all know those areas do still
exist here in rural Manitoba. What if your phone has
very low battery power remaining? In these situations,
if you get stranded out on the road in extreme winter
weather, you better have some emergency supplies in
your vehicle! I have my cell phone with me at all times
and hopefully it would work if I found myself in a win-
ter road emergency, but I also have a snowsuit, boots,
mitts, hat and shovel with me in my vehicle.
The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) rec-
ommends having the following items in your vehicle
as an emergency kit: Flashlight (preferably crank-type,
because batteries don’t last long in extreme cold), re-
flective safety triangles or flares, small first-aid kit,

snow brush and scraper, small shovel with long handle,
bag of abrasive material, sand or kitty litter for traction
under your wheels, windshield washer fluid, booster
cables, gas-line antifreeze, lock de-icer (in extreme
cold, keep it with you, rather than in your vehicle),
paper towels, small tool kit (screwdriver, pliers, etc.),
extra fuses for the vehicle’s electrical system, warm
blanket, extra socks, boots and gloves, hand and foot
warmers, bottles of water and granola bars. I am sure
very few people have all of those things in their vehicle
but hopefully we all at least have some of the more im-
portant items!
Another thing to think about and be prepared for
in winter is the possibility of power outages at home.
This happened here in Minnedosa earlier this week,
in the middle of the extreme cold spell, and it amazed
me how many people did not seem to be prepared
or know what to do to keep warm for those few short
hours.
A few years back, I was stranded at home without
power overnight – from about 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. the next
morning. My “pioneer” instincts and plain old com-
mon sense kicked in and I was perfectly fine, closed
in a small room of the house (less area to heat), with
candles, oil lamps, an extra layer of clothes and blan-
kets. That time, as the power had flickered off-and-
on a few times, I was prepared and had some boiling
water stored in thermoses, which came in handy later
when I was able to warm up with a hot drink! Maybe
I am weird but I can actually say, that surviving like
a pioneer was somewhat fun! When it happens again,
because I am sure it will at some point, I am not scared
or worried – I know what to do and will stay warm and
survive until power is restored. It is really not that big
of a deal.
The bottom line is, winter weather can be nasty
and it can be dangerous, but if you think ahead, use
some common sense and prepare for the worst, you
should be able to survive any nasty scenario Mother
Nature throws at you.

Can We Afford a New Arena?
Dear Editor,
Letters to
I read, with interest, the MREC
article in the December 21st
the Editor
issue of The Trib. The committee
stated that the financial position
is great. So, let us peel the onion
and look at each layer.
When all of this started, the
Town of Minnedosa got a windfall of taxes from Husky
Energy so they started a reserve with that money. The
taxes were put in for several years. That money was spent
on a two-ice proposal, which the after the fact feasibil-
ity study said we could not afford. At the public meetings
the committee and council stated there would be no tax
increase and if there was, we would shelve this idea.
Let us analyze the numbers. We will need hydro, like-
ly three phase, no estimate, could be $100,000. Water and
sewer expansion... how much? Could be $100,000. Lot
paving... could be $100,000.
Stated reserves are $1,540,000. Municipalities
$210,000 and a debenture of $3,000,000. This is borrowed
money not raised money so will be included in my bor-
rowing section.
The Town, through no fault of their own, has been
collecting, from Husky, over assessment taxes and put-
ting a large portion of that over assessment into the
MREC fund. It turns out we now owe Husky $720,000.
That should be paid back to Husky from the MREC fund
as that is where the money went.
The MREC committee states that the new arena
quote is around $7,000,000. What it will cost to borrow
and service a $1,000,000 loan at five per cent interest?
The chart from the Credit Union on 25-year loan states
an annual payment of $70,952.46. For 25 years, the total
payback would be $1,775,024.54. If the total borrowed
is $7,000,000, the total we, the taxpayers, will be on the
hook for is $12,425,168.
The engineering evaluations will show the existing
building to be structurally sound. The maintenance of
the existing building has been neglected for many years.
But in the last few years the insulation problems over the
waiting room have been fixed and the boards have been
repaired. The entry door has also been replaced. What
the building now needs is a new roof at approximately
$160,000. Once fixed, the roof would last 40 more years.
The committee has said the existing rink is past its
due date and want to build a new rink as we need wash-
rooms and change rooms for the other sports. They
should check out the distance from the farthest ball dia-
monds and see if they could make it!
Nothing is being mentioned about the cost to tear
down the old arena, removing the concrete foundation
and paving the lot. That is unknown but will likely cost
approximately $2,000,000.
The cost of operating the existing arena is a grant
from the local taxpayers of $25,000 to the Minor Hock-
ey operations. Volunteers run the rink with fundraising

from registrations of approxi-
mately $32,000, tournaments,
concession, ice rentals and gate
proceeds. Hydro in 2017 cost
$33,618 and in 2018 cost $42,487
and it will increase again this year.
Caretaker and ice costs approxi-
mately $50,000. So, the total cost
for running the existing rink with
85 registered hockey players is $117,487. The dedicated
volunteers of the Minor Hockey Association should be
commended on running the existing rink on the budget
they receive!
The total to operate the new arena payment and in-
terest per year is $70,952 times $7 million borrowed will
equal a $496,664 payment. Manager: $80,000, likely an
ice plant engineer at $70,000, caretaking staff at $40,000,
hydro $42,487 (same as existing, but will increase to
$54,000). Snow clearing? Kitchen manager and staff?
Building insurance will be added to the Town policy but
still has to be paid by the taxpayer? Total cost to operate
the new facility… $740,664.
Operating difference of $740,664 minus existing rink
costs $117,487 equals a DIFFERENCE of $623,177.
CONCLUSIONS… If we proceed with this endeav-
our and hockey usage goes down we can not just lock the
door and leave the building as we will have a $600,000
payment to make for 25 years, but we can do that (lock
the door) with the existing building.
Pay Husky back the over taxation and keep our cor-
porate tax base intact.
The Town and MREC committee have no business
plan. Example, if Husky leaves what is the tax plan to pay
for MREC? Levi or assessment?
We would be better served to look after the amenities
we already have like the lake, campground (revenue gen-
erating), curling rink, golf course, good health care, and a
well-looked after town.
Government of all stripes seem to want to go in debt
to the point of no return.
Moving the rink from a downtown location is a big
mistake as Main Street needs more activity, not less.
School registration is declining as per Manitoba cut-
ting school grants.
What we want and what we actually need are usually
quite different.

semble hosted Malan-
ka, Ukrainian New Years
on Saturday, January 12th
at the Sandy Lake Com-
munity Hall with approxi-
mately  170  people in at-
tendance.
Malanka is a folk holi-
day taking place on or
around January 13th which
is New Year’s Eve accord-
ing to the Julian Calendar.
Malanka was actually
the daughter of Mother
Earth, according to legend.
She was the personifica-
tion of spring, held against
her will by the evil spirit
and ruler of Hell. Being
imprisoned in the under-
world, spring was gone
was no happiness on earth
until her release, when
spring came, bringing with
her the joy of new life. This
legend is similar to others
in ancient mythology, such
as the Greek myth of Perse-
phone who was kept by
Hades in the underworld
for part of the year, then
returned to her mother,
Kore, in the spring. In the
Ukrainian version of the
story, Brother Wasilchyk
(Vasyl?) rescued and mar-
ried Malanka.
The feast of Malanka
celebrates her liberation
from the Evil One on New
Year’s Day, which became
an occasion to look for-
ward to a happy and pros-

Drucilla’s Diner Opens Its Doors

Minnedosa’s newest res-
taurant, “Drucilla’s Diner”.
Located in the
Minnedosa Inn, the diner’s
interior boasts a 1950s/60s

side. When her children
were small, she owned

a few years, before moving
from town to pursue other
interests.
Drucilla’s Diner menu
consists of homemade
feasts daily including soup,
burgers, fries, pizza’s, bak-
ing, etc. Tracy plans on
making whatever she can
smell of fresh baking. A
staple on the menu and a
must have for any 1950/60s
era lover is ice cream floats!
Tracy named the res-
taurant “Drucilla’s Diner”
as an homage to her late
mother, whose middle
name was Drucilla. “I just
wanted to get back into it,
I was looking for a change
from where I was and
wanted to give this a try. I
love what I do and look for-
ward to this new opportu-
where they always know
when I’m open,” expressed
Tracy.
A seniors’ night will be
offered once a week and
closer to summer there will
be hard ice cream treats,
banana splits, sundaes,
etc. on the menu as well. “I
look forward to trying new
things to see what works,”
said Tracy.

M anitoba Public Insurance is en-
couraging vehicle owners to in-
spect their extension and block heater
cords after several recent vehicle fires
have been linked to electrical arcing.
  A cracked extension cord, or block
heater cord with a corroded plug, can
result in “electrical arcing” which can
quickly spark a fire. The majority of
these fires take place in winter.
During bitterly cold winter tem-
peratures, Manitobans will plug in their
vehicles to heat various engine fluids
(anti-freeze/oil), allowing for easier
starting. Extension cords which are
cracked or have exposed wires should
be replaced. Corrosion can be caused

by exposure to moisture, dirt and road
salts. With personal safety in mind,
people are advised not to plug in their
vehicles within a garage or any other
enclosed structure.
Safety tips for extension cords/
block heater plugs:
Don’t drive over your extension
cord. This can cause cracking/breaking
during bitterly cold weather.
Cover your block heater plug-in
with its protective cover.
Unplug your block heater by using
the hard, rubber end. Pulling on the
electrical cord can cause breakage and
potential electrical issues.
Have your block heater cord in-
spected each fall by a qualified me-
chanic.

has increased by almost
fourteen percent. Italian
exports to Canada have
increased by over eleven
percent. All parts of the
Italian economy, includ-
ing farmers, are benefiting
from trade with Canada.
Yet during the same time
we have seen access to the
Italian market for some

become restricted. Exports

fallen by over sixty percent
