Community Assessment…
Earlier this week, the Minnedosa Lions Club sent
out a survey to everyone’s mail box. Hopefully, you kept
this survey, took it home and filled it out or are planning
to fill it out. The local service club is undertaking a com-
munity needs assessment and are looking for input from
local residents in order to properly plan and move for-
ward with things that are important to the community.
The survey asks participants to identify programs and
services they feel are needed in Minnedosa now and in
the future for various age groups from toddlers through
to seniors. If you haven’t filled out and returned your Li-
ons survey yet, please do so and if you did not receive
one or tossed it away but would like to provide your input
please contact a local Lion.
Time for Thanks…
Monday, October 14th is Thanksgiving and as a re-
sult, The Tribune office will be closed for the day. This
annual holiday should always remind us to stop and
think about what we are actually thankful for, and I don’t
mean all the material things and fancy gadgets we have
or holidays we may take. Our true wealth is in health,
family, friends, having a roof over our heads and food to
eat. Those are the kinds of things we should all be truly
thankful for. If you are travelling this Thanksgiving week-
end, be safe. As we go to print, Environment Canada is
calling for some nasty weather including the seasons first
snow storm!
Driver Behaviour…
MPI recently surveyed 1,500 drivers and found that
three-in-ten of them admitted to acts of road rage while
feeling anger while behind the wheel. Four-in-ten driv-
ers admitted to weaving in and out of traffic and almost
three-quarters of the respondents admitted to speeding
up to get through a yellow traffic light before it turns red.

BC Carbon Tax A Good Example Why
A National One Is A Bad Idea
By Kris siMs
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
P oliticians are trying to sell a national carbon tax to
Canadians this election, but we shouldn’t buy it.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pointing to BC
as a template for a national carbon tax. But be warned:
the BC carbon tax is not reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and it’s filling up government coffers with
taxpayers’ money. It’s a tax grab that is not helping the
environment.
BC’s emissions have gone up 2.4 percent over the
last three years and have increased in five of the last
seven years, according to the  BC government’s own
data released this month. In 2017 — the most recent
data year — GHG emissions are listed at 64.4 million
tonnes, up from 63.6 million tonnes in 2016.
Politicians tell us that we are paying the carbon
tax because it will reduce emissions but the govern-
ment’s own records show that’s not happening. What
is the point of paying an ever increasing carbon tax
when it doesn’t work?
In  2018, the provincial government took in $1.7
billion from B.C. taxpayers through the carbon tax,
and it’s planning on taking $2.2 billion from taxpayers
by the year 2021, when the carbon tax is jacked up to
$50 per tonne.
Politicians also told us that gasoline and diesel
vehicle use would drop because of the carbon tax,
however the government data again shows that’s not
true.
Emissions from gasoline powered cars are up
6.2 percent, pickup truck emissions are up 18.7 per-
cent, and heavy-duty gasoline truck emissions are up
10.4 percent over the last three years. When it comes

to diesel use, there was a large 47.8 percent jump in
emissions from light-duty diesel pickup trucks over
the past three years.
Let’s look at how much this carbon tax costs us for
everyday life. At the pumps, the carbon tax costs BC
drivers about $7 extra to fill their minivans, $11 extra
for their pickup trucks, and $19 extra for their diesel
super duty pickups.
If a commuter family has a sedan and a pick up
truck and fills up once a week, they pay more than
$900 extra per year just to get to work and take the kids
around.
For a tractor trailer truck – the ones that deliver
groceries to grocery stores — filling just one of those
diesel tanks costs an extra $48 in carbon taxes. This
adds to the cost of everything.
When the carbon tax was first foisted upon Brit-
ish Columbians in 2008, we were told that the tax
would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, stop at $30
per tonne, and it would be “revenue neutral” because
other tax cuts would offset the carbon tax.
Today, none of that is true. The carbon tax has
been hiked up to $40 per tonne. Politicians have
dropped the malarkey moniker of “revenue neutral”
altogether and the government is just keeping the ex-
tra revenue instead of even pretending to offset the
carbon tax with other tax cuts. On top of it all, GHG
emissions are going up, not down.
The Sierra Club of Canada calls BC’s emissions
approach a “failure” and it says politicians have been
full of “noble rhetoric.”
As Canadians consider carbon taxes, they need to
look at the experience in BC where this all started. It
only makes people here poorer while emissions con-
tinue to rise. Don’t fall for it.

Bullies Never Win

SUBMITTED
B
ullying continues to
be a serious problem
in Canada. On the heels of
this year’s return to school,
children across the coun-
try have started getting
back into their routines,
spending their days with
friends and classmates.
But unfortunately, a lot
of our nation’s youth also
find themselves spending
time with bullies and ag-
gressors.
October 17th to 23rd
is National School Safety
Week and this year, the
Canada Safety Council’s
message is simple: there
can be no tolerance for
bullying. Whether you’re
a student, an educator, a
parent or a caregiver, we
all have a duty to keep chil-
dren safe.
According to the Pro-
moting Relationships and
Eliminating Violence Net-
Minnedosa To Host
work (PREVNet), a net-
work of researchers and
organizations shedding a
light on bullying preven-
tion, 75 per cent of people
say they have been affect-
ed by bullying. This can
take shape either as a vic-
tim, a bystander or an ag-
gressor, and includes three
primary forms of bullying:
1. Physical bullying,
which can take the form
of hitting, destruction of
property and physical hu-
miliation.
2. Verbal bullying,
which can include teasing,
threats and name-calling.
3. Social bullying,
which can include ru-
mours, gossip and exclu-
sion with the intent of
lowering the victim’s social
worth among their peers.
Additionally, the role
that technology plays in
day-to-day life has contrib-
uted to the rise of cyber-
bullying. This means that
victims aren’t easily able to
escape the torment – bully-
ing has become a 24-hour-
a-day phenomenon, and
has caused children to not
even feel safe in their own
homes. PREVNet reports
that one-in-five teenagers
report being victimized
electronically, a number
which has been steadily on
the rise since the Internet
and smartphones became
ubiquitous.
Be on the lookout for
signs of your child being
bullied. These are numer-
ous and varied, but can in-
clude: heightened anxiety,
low self-esteem and exces-
sive self-deprecation, low
performance in school,
visible injuries, irritability,
unhappiness, withdrawal
from activities they once
enjoyed, isolation and fear
of going to school.
Conversely, you
should also look for signs
that your child may be
a bully. These signs can
include: aggression, ma-
nipulative behavior, un-
explained money or items
and a minimal concern for
others’ feelings.

Soccer And Smith’s Go Hand-In-Hand
Continued from Page 1
After a couple years,
baseball in Minnedosa
took a dive in enrollment
and parents went to Steven
to see if he would coach a
youth soccer team so the
local kids still had a form
of active sport being of-
fered. In 1986, one soc-
cer team was formed with
children aged eight to 12
and the team enjoyed ex-
hibition games throughout
the year.
Steven, together with
local resident at the time,
Sam Barlan, worked with
that team for two years
and after the first year saw
enrollment start its steady
spike upwards. Year two
saw four teams, year three
saw 12 teams (six boys
and six girls) and up to
20 teams at one time! In
approximately 1990 the
House League was cre-
ated, where children un-
der the age of six or seven
would meet every Monday
to learn the sport and play.
Steven remembers,
“I used to play soccer at
noon hour when I was a
young kid and loved it, but
once I started getting more
involved and playing in
my adulthood it was like
a duck to water, I just love
the sport.” Steven consid-
ers himself a student of the
game still to this day, edu-
cating himself wherever he
can. “I watch a lot of games

about it all.”
In 1986, Steven started
coaching and continued
until 2013, when their
youngest daughter gradu-
ated from High School.
Marie started coaching in
1990 and has fond memo-
ries of having her oldest
son hanging on to her leg
as she ran the field. The
sport was definitely a fam-
ily affair as all of their four
children grew up playing
soccer and still to this day
play when they can. The
couple has a dairy farm and
throughout the summers
they would host overseas
summer employees, which
would allow the family to
travel to their many soccer
games. “It was definitely a
family sport,” remembers
Marie.
In 2005, Minnedosa
was removed from the
Brandon League due to
the level of competition
being seen from rural
towns. “Our kids all knew
each other and played to-
gether every year, so they
were good, they knew the
strengths of each player
and drew on those,” men-

tioned Marie. Because
of this, Minnedosa found
themselves winning year
after year, much to the dis-
may of others. Due to this,
Minnedosa was removed
from the league, leaving
them without a place to
play. “At this time I was
wondering what we were
going to do,” recalled Ste-
ven. “We had four kids of
our own that wanted to
play and we had to come
up with a solution.” So, as
part of the solution, the
couple was instrumental
of the creation of the West-
man League. This league
included other towns such
as Rossburn, Hamiota,
Neepawa, Elkhorn, Rivers
and a Brandon travel team.
This league lasted until ap-
proximately 2010 when en-
rollment started to fall off
and Minnedosa rejoined
the Brandon League.
When it comes to soc-
cer fields, the Smiths also
have their footprints firmly
stamped in all over town.
Early on, the only soccer
field space in Minnedo-
sa was at MCI, so space
quickly became an issue.
Terry Drebit, Minnedosa
Mayor at the time, asked
Steven if he would be in-
terested in building a field

on a piece of land at the
Minnedosa Beach. The
men’s senior team and
the youth soccer program
started fundraising and re-
ceived some grant money
and from there the process
was in motion. In 1989,
construction began, how-
ever, not without issues.
Clint Moffatt was hired to
remove the topsoil and
soon learned that the land
was full of rock and boul-
ders, which put the proj-
ect up in cost and back in
deadline. Moffatt donated
a huge amount of work and
time to the project which
saved the project. Without
these generous contribu-
tions, the project may not
have happened. Thank-
fully, between all the play-
ers and local volunteers
the field turned out better
than expected. “I would
say that the beach field is
easily the second-best soc-
cer field in Manitoba,” said
Steven. “The only one that
compares to it is the field at
Shilo. We have teams come
from all over that tell us
how nice it is to play here
and surrounding view is
second to none.”

rently home to two wom-

Steven was also a key
player in the creation of
the MREC field along with
Ty Burton and Wes Barrett.
The couple looks for-
ward to moving into this
next chapter of their life
after “retirement”. Ste-
ven still plans on staying
active on the men’s soc-
cer team while Marie is
undecided at this time if
she will play next year or
not. Both are excited to
continue to watch games,
cheer on their daughter’s
team and one day watch
their grandchildren out on
the field. Steven still oper-
ates the family Dairy Farm
near Clanwilliam and Ma-
rie who was a nurse out
of Brandon since 1982,
still picks up casual shifts
whenever she can. The
couple have two grand-
children and are in no way
slowing down by the looks
of it, however just soaking
it all in.

kids to introduce me to and
telling me that they moved
back to the area because
of the soccer program we
have here and the fields we
have here. After seeing that
come full circle it’s really
rewarding,” expressed Ste-
ven.
“It has been quite a
ride, it’s been fun and we
loved being a part of it all,”
expressed the couple. “We
absolutely have capable
people to run with the ba-
ton now and it’s our time to
step back.”
A huge hats off to the
Smiths for their decades of
contribution to the sport of
soccer, the sports commu-
nity as a whole, the tour-
ism aspect for bringing
countless teams through
our town and for showing
young and old alike what it
means to give back.

Local Author Shares Journey of Loss

By KAREN MITCHELL
“His body is very
much not alive, this I un-
derstand. But his soul,
well that is something al-
together different isn’t it,”
expressed Katy Martin, au-
thor of “The Year After,” a
book for bereaved parents.
Last Saturday, Oc-
tober 5th, Martin was on
hand at the Minnedosa
Regional Library to host a
book reading and discuss
her journey through in-
fant loss. “The book read-
ing went great! There was
about ten people who
came. After I read, we all
sat around in the cozy li-
brary with the fire going
and the rain drizzling and
we had a wonderful dis-
cussion. Several people
shared their stories. Some
similar to mine, some
about struggling with fer-
tility,” explained Martin.
Katy Martin grew up
in the small town of Mag-
netawan, ON, blissfully
unaware of how future life
moments would drastical-
ly impact her life forever.
As a young woman, Martin
always had a flare for all
things creative. She loved
art and creating and still
enjoys this today, allowing
that creative side to honor
and carry on the memory
of her late son, Beau Ae-
milius Martin.
Katy and her husband
Brodie started their jour-
ney together while they
both were teaching in
Thompson. After teaching
there for approximately
five years they decided
they make the move south,
closer to where Brodie
was from in Oakville. The
couple found a home in

into the pregnancy. “The
children were very in-
volved with me the whole
way, we incorporated
math scenarios and prob-
abilities into our learning
and the children were just
as excited as we were,” said
Martin.
Eight-and-a-half
months into her pregnan-
cy Martin began to notice
that she did not feel any
movement from the baby
for a couple of days. With
encouragement from her
husband they decided to
go in and have everything
checked out. “I thought I
was over reacting about it
all, but I figured we might
as well just check.” Doc-
toring out of Brandon,
the couple decided to just

head over to Neepawa hos-
pital on their lunch hour.
“They put on the
dopler and after several at-
tempts they can’t find the
heartbeat, another nurse
comes in and they can’t
find it either,” remembers
Martin. “At this point,
nothing crossed my mind
that something could be
wrong, I just thought, Oh
maybe something is a bit
off and we might be hav-
ing the baby today. All
along the pregnancy we
celebrated the milestones
of growth, and we just
finished celebrating the
baby being big enough to
digest food on their own
and breathe, so with this I
was confident that if I went
into labour today then ev-
erything would be okay.
After a little while, the
room started filling with
doctors and I found myself
zoning out a little bit, not
fully taking in what might
be happening. The doctor
brought in an ultrasound
machine and his words
continue to echo inside my
head to this day… I’m sorry
to tell you that there is no
heartbeat.”
These few brief min-
utes in a day, May 31, 2017,
shifted the lives of two
people forever sending
them down a journey nei-
ther had anticipated. The
baby’s room was ready,
items purchased, fam-
ily anxiously awaiting the
precious bundles arrival…
but none of that seemed
to matter in this sharp left
turn that just occurred.
Throughout the next
year, with unbelievable
strength and support from
her husband and family,
Martin found the strength
to slowly carry on and
honor her son Beau. She
found herself attending
retreats and reaching out
to other moms who expe-
rienced loss, she painted,
created, purchased a star
in Beau’s name, started
“Beau Bears” which pro-
vides stuffed bears to par-
ents of infant loss, and
perhaps most cathartic,
started writing. “I wanted
to make sure I never forgot
anything we experienced
during that time. I wanted
to write down everything
I remembered about the
room, the doctors, the en-
vironment, how we felt, ev-
erything,” detailed Martin.
After a full year of waiting
for the complete autopsy
to return and find out what
exactly ended this per-
fect being’s journey, the
couple discovered that the
cause of death was due to
several microscopic blood
clots in the umbilical cord
and placenta. Martin was
diagnosed with a blood
clotting disorder called
Anti Phospholipid Anti-
body Syndrome (APS). Go-
ing forward the treatment
would be to have Heparin
injections prior to concep-
tion and during the entire
pregnancy. As the couple
had already started to have
another child, the decision
was that treatment start
immediately. Fast forward
to today and Martin and
her husband are now the
proud parents to an eight-
month-old baby girl who
is perfect, active and full of
life.
Martin encourages all
women who have an ex-
isting autoimmune con-
dition to ask their family
doctor about being tested
for APS prior to starting a
family. This inexpensive
test could save them a life-
time of heartache. “If you
ask and your doctor dis-
misses it, ask again. If you
get nowhere, get a second
opinion. Find the doctor
that will run the test!”
Nationally, Pregnancy
and Infant Loss Remem-
brance Day is observed on
October 15th.

OBITUARY OBITUARY
MPI Applies For
Rate Decrease
JOYCE ADDINELL MINTY LILY KATHLEEN WILMOT
November 3rd, 1923 – June 16th, 1921 –
October 3rd, 2019 September 25th, 2019           

Joyce Addinell Minty Lily Kathleen Wilmot

(nee Potter) was born
November 3rd, 1923 in Bass-
wood, Manitoba. Joyce was the
second daughter born to Rob-
ert and Gertrude Potter after
her sister Peggy.
Joyce’s early school days
were spent at the Clear Lake
School. She finished Grade 11 and
12 in Minnedosa. Joyce worked for five
years at Frith’s store in Onanole prior to
marrying Victor Minty in May 1951 at the
Anglican Church in Minnedosa. Victor and Joyce established
their home in Onanole and had two children Eileen born in
1953 and Harold born in 1957.
Joyce was actively involved in her husband Victor’s busi-
ness and became the unofficial school bus driver in her station
wagon transporting several children to Onanole School prior to
the school having a school bus.
Joyce was very active in the community of Onanole teach-
ing and leading 4-H, helping to create the Onanole and District
history book, helping her daughter clean the Onanole School,
and helping in creating the Cheery Chirper Seniors group.
Joyce loved attending the activities of the Onanole Senior Cen-
ter, visiting friends, playing cards at Crawford Park Hall, eating
at the Old Hotel Café and more recently Barnaby’s Grill every
Friday for the last 30 years. Joyce loved to walk – walking the
highway everyday until she was 85, and then continued walk-
ing, only closer to her home. Joyce was known as “Grandma” to
the staff at Minty’s moving as she joined the staff on Tuesdays
and Fridays for coffee, providing baked goods and participating
in the staff room conversation.
Joyce slowed down a bit after a hip fracture at 90 but con-
tinued to live in her own home until January 2019, when she be-
came a resident of the Sandy Lake Care Home. Joyce continued
to enjoy visits with her family members, family gatherings that
involved food, and some congregate meals until her passing on
October 3rd, 2019.
Joyce is pre-deceased by her husband Victor, sister Peggy
Fetterly and two grandsons Kelly Minty and Jason Kelly. Left to
cherish her memories are daughter Eileen Hunter (Jack Hunt-
er,) son Harold Minty (Lorna Minty,) several grandchildren and
great grandchildren among other extended family and friends.
passed away peacefully on Sep-
tember 25th at the Erickson
District Health Centre at the age
of 98, the end of a long life fully
lived.
She was born in Erick-
son, Manitoba on June 16th, 1921,
to Otto and Annie Halvarson, the
youngest of three children.  During
her early years Lily’s family knew hard
times when their homestead was lost,
and she never forgot the lessons of that time, never judging,
but always showing compassion for those in difficult circum-
stances.
During the war, Lily and her mother ran a small cafe in
Muncho Lake, Yukon, serving the crews that were building the
Alaska Highway, a time that she often recalled fondly. After the
war, she married the love of her life, Walter Wilmot, and togeth-
er they built their home in the Minnedosa Valley and raised
their family.  was MPI has performed better than budget in the first
Lily loved to laugh, loved to spend time with her friends,
and was always game for a new adventure.  Together with Wal-
ter she had many of those adventures, traveling and laughing,
making friends and memories wherever she went.
Lily was predeceased by her parents, Otto and Annie, and
her brothers Elmer and Conrad Halvarson, as well as her hus-
band Walter.  She leaves to mourn her children, Ronald (Lois
Wilson), Joyce Castle (Murray), Nancy (David Zryd), and Wallis
(Gregg McKelvy), grandchildren Tannis Hovde, Lindsey Fran-
sen, Christopher Castle, Jonah Zryd, and Annie Zryd, Great
Grandchildren Jarod Hovde, Ty Hovde, Sarah Wilmot-Wilson,
Riley Fransen ,Wyatt Castle, and Harlow Castle, as well as num-
erous nieces and nephews.
Lily left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her, and
the world will be a far less colorful place without her.
The funeral service was held at the Erickson Legion Hall
on Wednesday, October 2nd at 2:00, and Lily was laid to rest
at Little All Saints Cemetery in Clanwilliam.  In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made to the Erickson and Area Health Foun-
dation.

SUBMITTED
M anitoba Public Insurance has requested a rate
decrease of 0.6 per cent in an amendment to its
2020-21 General Rate Application filed October 4th with
the Public Utilities Board (PUB). If approved, 610,000
Manitoba vehicles will have lower Basic auto insurance
premiums.
If approved by the PUB, the average passenger
vehicle owner will pay about $10 less in premiums per
year. The PUB hearings began this week and conclude
later this month. The board typically issues its order in
December.
For background, MPI originally requested a
0.1 rate increase in June, but due to favourable financial
results as of the end of September, the Corporation filed
the amendment October 4th, requesting an overall rate
decrease for the first time since 2012.
A key contributing factor to the rate amendment
half of the year due to its ongoing fiscal prudence and
commitment to reducing operating expenses while
improving its claims management process. MPI has also
achieved its 100 per cent Minimum Capital Test (MCT)
target - the minimum amount the company should hold
in reserves to protect against rate shock and ensure rates
remain stable.
“With such positive financial results, it would be
inappropriate to ask for a rate increase, although it was
nominal to request in the first place,” said Ben Graham,
President and CEO, Manitoba Public Insurance. “As we
continue to execute our operational strategy, MPI is
dedicated to maintaining stable and predictable rates
which remain among the most affordable in Canada while
providing exceptional coverage to Manitobans.
“MPI is one of the few auto insurers in Canada
to request a rate decrease this year. While other private
auto jurisdictions are looking at double digit increases,
Manitoba once again demonstrates the strength of
the public auto insurance system. Now that we have
established a strong financial foundation – our focus will
continue to meet customers changing needs now and also

It’s not a thing

into the future”
IN MEMORIAM ANNOUNCEMENT MPI has applied for the following rate changes
in various classes: For private passenger -0.9 percent,
commercial 0.7 percent, Public 10.4 percent, motorcycles
