T
he Rivers Edge Recreation Park committee is elated
to announce the completion of the frst phase of the
projectthe walking trail and bike park.
A grand opening, ribbon cutting event will be held
this Saturday at noon and the community is encouraged
to stop in and help celebrate with some fun, prizes, hot
dogs and drinks.
Te Rivers Edge Recreation Park Project is a local
group who has been striving to develop a recreational
area west of Tanners Crossing School, north of the Little
Saskatchewan River. Te group has plans to develop the
area in four phases over the course of fve-to-seven years.
Since the fall of 2013, the park committee and vol-
unteers have been working to gather funds through grant
proposals, fundraising events, and sponsorships.
After receiving a $25,000 grant from Manitoba Com-
munity Places earlier this year, the group has raised over
$85,000, which has enabled them to complete phase one
of the project.
Te Rivers Edge walking trail connects to Minnedo-
sas existing trail system, is six-feet-wide and in the future
may serve to host community events, such as the Terry
Fox Run or possibly a cross country ski trail in the winter
months.
Te construction of the trail was tendered to Salers
Backhoe and Trucking, who would like to note for trail-
goers to be gentle with the trail as the surrounding earth
will need some time to settle.
In the near future, the committee will also be work-
ing to populate the trail with benches and trash cans.
With the f rst phase of the project complete, the com-
mittee has now moved their sights to fundraising eforts
for the projects second phasea dog park. A fall fund-
raiser is currently being planned for November.
Te committee will have sponsorship opportunities
available in the near future and are open to any fundrais-
ing ideas community members may have.
Rivers Edge Completes
Phase One of Park
Taking a drive along 6th Avenue N.W., some may notice a sizable expansion happening at Morris
Industries. Crews have been busy on-site this week erecting the steel frame work of the 8,000-square
foot expansion. Tis addition will allow added space to house the companys new paint line.
Construction began earlier this month and is slated to be complete by November.
Expanding Minnedosas Industrial Park was one of the top priorities identifed at last weeks
Tink Tank Session hosted by the Minnedosa and Area Community Development Corporation.

he driver of a passen-
ger vehicle was thank-
ing his lucky stars after a
brief collision with a semi
truck on Tuesday morning.
Minnedosas volun-
teer frefghters, along with
local EMS and RCMP, were
called out just before 9
a.m. on Tuesday, Septem-
ber 23rd.
A small car had been
travelling eastbound along
Highway #16 near Bass-
wood when it crossed over
the centre line, making a
connection with the rear
wheels of a westbound
semi trailer.
Te collision occurred
slightly west of the PR #270
turnof. Te driver of the
passenger car sustained
minor injuries, while the
semi driver was unharmed
but did incur damage to
his rig.
Te driver of the pas-
senger car was very lucky.
It is not too often that we
see someone collide with a
semi and remain relatively
unharmed, commented
volunteer frefghter, Mike

innedosa and Area
Community Devel-
opment Corporation host-
ed a Tink Tank Session
to assist the community
in moving forward on the
evening of Wednesday,
September 17th.
In addition to CDC
staf and presenters from
Manitoba Agriculture
Food and Rural Devel-
opment, sixteen people
attended including fve
municipal of cials and
eleven business people.
Government repre-
sentatives presented a Re-
gional Economic Analysis
Process (REAP) report
which included statistics
and data compiled for the
Town of Minnedosa and
R.M.s of Minto and Odan-
ah. Te REAP report indi-
cates that the areas popu-
lation increased 6.8% (253
people) in 2013 from 1991.
Overall, this areas popu-
lation is an older and ag-
ing group of residents. Te
largest group of people
living in the area are those
75 years of age and older.
Te second largest age
group are between 50 and
54 years of age.
In terms of educa-
tion, statistics found that
our region has a higher
percentage of people with
certif cates or diplomas
in apprenticeship and
trades. Tis indicates that
our region should be more
attractive to businesses
seeking workers with
trades assets.
An analysis of in-
dustry and jobs in the
Minnedosa area found
that there were 1,608 jobs
in the Minnedosa region
in 2013. Tis is a decrease
of 258 jobs from 2006. Al-
most 60% of the regions
1,608 jobs fall within five
industry sectors includ-
ing healthcare, retail, ag-
riculture, education and
other services.
The information pre-
sented was compiled as
a resource tool to deter-
mine what focus areas
could be beneficial when
trying to attract new
business opportunities
or residents to the com-
munity. A brainstorming
session was held to iden-
tify Minnedosas assets
and there were many of
them. An exercise was
then held in which par-
ticipants were asked to
think ahead ten years and
indicate what they hope
Minnedosa will look like
in 2024. With those fu-
ture visions listed, the
next step was to deter-
mine which ideas were
most critical to follow up
on, also, how to develop
a plan to move forward
to reach these goals for
the future. From the par-
ticipants in attendance,
it was determined that
some of the most critical
goals for The Town and
CDC to work toward were
building upon assets we
already have, industrial/
job growth, improving
health services, increas-
ing our recreation infra-
structure, housing and in-
creased efforts to tell our
story and better promote
the Minnedosa area.
Anyone who was un-
able to attend the Think
Tank Session but would
like to share their opin-
ions, ideas or suggestions
are welcome to contact
Interim Economic Devel-
opment Officer, Martijn
van Luijn at the Minnedo-
sa and Area CDC office.

Elections here and there
Troughout this weeks edition you will see nu-
merous Notice of Election ads for various municipal
councils and school boards. An election is always wel-
coming as it provides residents an opportunity to se-
lect who they feel has their communitys best interests
in mind. I have always been a frm believer that any-
one who sits back and gripes about what our elected
of cials are doing had better throw his or her name
into the candidates circle when the next election is
called. It is good to see a few new names on the can-
didates lists for the various municipalities and school
boards throughout our province. Its also important
that everyone who can vote gets out and exercises that
right on Election Day. If you dont vote, you have no
right to complain when your elected of cials make a
decision you dont agree with. Watch Te Tribune for
interviews with our Town Council candidates within
the next few weeks. Te Chamber of Commerce is
also planning a Candidates Forum evening to provide
voters an opportunity to ask questions of local candi-
dates.
NOT TRUE...
We learned this week that there is a rumour circu-
lating that Minnedosa Regional Archives is no longer
accepting donations of archival material. Tat state-
ment is completely false. Te Archives is continuing
operations as usual and welcomes donations of items
deemed valuable for archival purposes.
Month Ten
In only a few short days October will be upon us
which means we are getting down to the fnal months
of another year. Recently while in our local pharmacy
I noticed that in addition to Tanksgiving and Hallow-
een related items, the latest in Christmas gift ideas are
already on the shelves here in Minnedosa! While I al-
ways look forward to Christmas, Im not ready to start
thinking about it just yet. Hopefully we will be able to
enjoy some great autumn weather before the winter
winds blow in, I know our farmers would sure appre-
ciate it!
Dear Editor,
O
n entering our local Post Of ce this morning (Mon-
day), I was shocked to see the gross littering of mail
of all kinds: ads, unopened newspapers, catalogues still
in their wrappers, brochures and other material: this lit-
tering no doubt deposited by post of ce box holders. All
of which was in complete disarray on several counters.
I am concerned that so many people have so little con-
science or consideration for others and for the fne build-
ing itself, which we should be proud of.
I understand what these people who litter are say-
ing. Tey are saying to the Post Master that they did not
ask for this or that item and they do not want it and so
they deliberately litter. We all have contracted with the
post of ce to have mail delivered to our individual boxes
and this is what the Post Of ce does. It is up to each of
us to accept all mail in the boxes, and presumably take
it home, where items not wanted can then be recycled
or otherwise disposed of. Tere would be loud hollering
if the Post Of ce, instead of fulflling its duty, decided
indiscriminately who should receive what. Would you
want to not receive a parcel or important letter because
the Post Of ce felt you may prefer not to have it since you
received a similar item last week or the parcel appeared
too big?
I am aware that at one time the Post Of ce placed
bins in which unwanted items could be put, but that
higher authorities elsewhere, decided that doing that
and disposing of items was not within their mandate and
so it was stopped. Tat of course, changed nothing and
the littering goes on. I do believe the present policy in not
providing bins solve nothing and that the higher authori-
ties are merely closing their eyes to the problem in the
hope that it may disappear. But the local Post Of ce staf
must still dispose of unwanted items, which is more un-
tidy in appearance than having bins available. Bins or no
bins, it still amounts to improper littering, whether or not
it may be an ofence under Town By-Law.
Today I tried to gently move part of the huge mess
to determine whether there were any funeral announce-
ments on either of the two shelves. As soon as I touched
the pile, much of it slid to the foor and I had to gather it
all up. I decided to give up attempting to move any more
in order to look for funeral announcements. In any event;
this situation is an insult to the families of any deceased if
there were announcements there.
Please therefore stop viewing the Post Of ce as the
culprit, and take unwanted items home for disposal.

Dear Editor,
W
.C. Fields line Never give a sucker an even break,
or smarten up a chump has never been better ex-
ecuted than by the Conservative government and their
farmer-disenfranchisement policies.
Teir f rst move upon election in 2006 was to tear up
the farmer-railcar agreement. Tis agreement would have
given farmers a place at the grain transportation table, and
while it wouldnt have solved all the marketing problems
from last year it would have at least given farmers a look
behind the curtain.
Tis move was followed by taking away the commu-
nity pasture network that farmers have relied on for de-
cades, destroying the PFRA and the tree nursery, vapor-
izing the support that farmers had through the margin
based Agristability program, and weakening the Canadian
Grain Commission.
In parallel was the defunding and destruction of the
grain varietal development and research capacityand
this at a time when the worlds population has never been
higher and the climate has increasing variability.
Decimation of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) was
nextfarmers were disenfranchised and not allowed to
vote on the matter according to the existing law, taxpay-
ers were billed an unnecessary $349 million in 2011, and
the $16 billion world leading exporter was reduced from a
business to a political maneuver with a few hundred mil-
lion in assets.
Predictably the destruction of orderly marketing
through the real CWB cost farmers $4 billion in lost in-
come for the 2013 crop (money that ended up in grain
company pockets, lost sales and demurrage charges),
and the government now refuses to publish any fnancial
reports for the Ritz-run CWB since 2012. With fnancial
cover-ups and fast-tracking the give-away of farmer-paid
CWB assets, it looks like the government is trying to bury a
dead skunk as fast as they can.
An Ag. Minister from Ontario or BC could not have ac-
complished this much destruction. No, the Minister had
to be a short-term thinker from the prairies where Conser-
vative votes could be taken for granted. Somewhere W.C
Fields is feeling warm and fuzzy all over again.

T
he front page lead sto-
ry of the Te Tribune
f fty years ago this week
was that of a major fre in
the downtown business
district which, miracu-
lously, did not result in
any loss of life.
About 20 minutes af-
ter midnight on Friday,
September 18th, 1964 a
propane heater exploded
at Minnedosa Bowling
Lanes, just south of the
Patricia Caf. Te site of
Minnedosa Bowling Lanes
is today occupied by
Maushies Restaurant and
the Patricia Caf building
is today occupied by Sun
Sun Chinese Restaurant.
Tere were six peo-
ple (three customers and
three staf ) inside the
caf part of the building
at the time of the explo-
sion. All were fortunate
to escape without injury.
One of the staf members
working that night was my
aunt, Alice Wade, who I
interviewed about the ex-
plosion in 2008. She felt
extremely lucky to have
survived the explosion as
she had just been down
in the basement near the
propane heater only mo-
ments before it exploded.
At the moment of the
explosion, those inside
the building recalled the
foor lifting and dishes and
other items fying through
the air in all directions.
One customer, Benny
Tompson, was quoted in
the next weeks Tribune as
saying Tere was a tre-
mendous boom and both
the table and us were in
the air. Te explosion
blew out the entire back of
the building as well as the
plate glass windows at the
front of the building.
Moments after the ex-
plosion, the Minnedosa
Fire Brigade was called
upon by someone next
door at the Patricia Caf.
Within minutes, frefght-
ers arrived and found
the bowling lanes build-
ing fully engulfed with
f ames, powered by the
propane, shooting 50 feet
in the air. A witness re-
ported that from the south
hill it looked as if the en-
tire downtown area was
ablaze.
For awhile, there
were concerns that the
f re would spread and
destroy the entire block
between the CPR track
and what is today known
as Armitage Avenue. At
one time during the battle
all four buildings within
that block were on fre.
In addition to Minnedosa
Bowling Lanes, fre spread
to the Patricia Caf to the
north and Minnedosa Tire
Shop and Bullard Motors
to the south. Local fre-
f ghters were successful
in containing the worst
of the fre to the bowling
lanes building, which was
completely destroyed. Te
other three buildings were
saved but did sufer smoke
and water damage. Today,
the old Patricia Caf is
the only one of these four
buildings remaining as
the former Bullard Motors
building, most recently
known as the old M and
M Autobody Shop was
demolished a few years
ago. Although the neigh-
bouring building was en-
gulfed in flames, the Pa-
tricia Caf remained open
throughout the battle that
morning serving refresh-
ments and lunch to weary
firemen.
As the sun rose hours
after the explosion, fre-
men were still dowsing the
dying embers of the fre
and a thick black cloud of
smoke hung heavily over
the Minnedosa Valley.
Smoke continued to rise
from the ashes until 4 p.m.
that day.
At the time of the
fire, Minnedosa Bowling
Lanes was owned by Mr.
Stan Johnson. The busi-
ness had just undergone
renovations and plans to
install automatic equip-
ment were in the works
when the destructive ex-
plosion occurred. The
estimate of damage as a
result of this downtown
explosion was reported
at $35,000, a far cry from
what a similar disaster
would be quoted at today,
fifty years later.

H
ello and welcome as
always to the Cops
Corner. Lets have a look
at recent events. Police
responded to 60 calls for
service this reporting pe-
riod. As always, police
dealt with a variety of dif-
ferent things including as-
saults, weapons, impaired
drivers, municipal by
laws, animal calls, threats,
speeders, alcohol, just to
name a few.
A local male, turning
onto Highway #16, blind-
ed by the sun, was clipped
by a semi truck and trailer.
Luckily only minor in-
juries resulted from the
crash, and it could have
been much worse. Tank
goodness it wasnt.
A Winnipeg male was
caught drinking and driv-
ing on his way back to the
Minnedosa Campground.
He was pulled over for
having a busted headlight,
and it resulted in a three
month suspension after
he was found driving over
the legal limit. He will be
appearing in court on
those charges sometime
in the future.
A male from Brandon
received four Highway
Traf c Fines, and a Crimi-
nal Charge when he was
found driving his vehicle
past curfew in Minnedosa
without a license. He was
released to his parents
who came to pick him up,
but not before getting a
speeding ticket on their
way. Not a good night for
the family all around... un-
fortunately.
Speaking of speed-
ers this weeks speeder
of the week comes to you
from the Province of Sas-
katchewan - Land of the
Roughriders. Perhaps he
was on his way back to
watch the game, perhaps
he was listening to them
on the radio excitedly...
who knows. But he was
ripping on Highway #16
at a speed of 132km/hr.
Police slowed him down
enough to pass him a
$469.25 ticket through his
window, and he contin-
ued on his way back home.
Hopefully he slowed
down and didnt get any
more tickets on the rest of
his trip. I am sure he will
think twice next time he
is in Manitoba, that is for
sure. And there you have
it, your illustrious speeder
of the week.
And as Cst. Sample
likes to say, have a good
safe day.

Minnedosa has fallen victim to more than its
fair share of graf ti this year. One of the latest
victims was Rivers Edge Recreation Park, set
to celebrate its grand opening this weekend.

A
fter having to close
the event early due to
weather complications,
Minnedosas Relay for
Life group concluded its
event this past weekend
with a Fight Back Cer-
emony.
It was a great after-
noon. We had about 37
people come by and we
were able to hold our Fight
Back Ceremony and slide
show that were unfortu-
nately cut short back in
July, commented Tammy
Gowler, event coordinator.
Te Fight Back Cer-
emony was held on the
afternoon of Sunday, Sep-
tember 21st at the Ukrai-
nian Hall. Tis ceremony
is held to symbolize the
emotional commitment
every individual can make
in the fght against cancer.
Te group held the
full Relay for Life event
on Saturday, July 5th at
the Rockin the Fields site
where 13 teams, 128 peo-
ple and 20 cancer survi-
vors came out to partici-
pate and raise funds for
cancer research.
This was the first time
that Relay for Life had
been held in the com-
munity and participants
raised approximately
$24,000.
As the original event
was cut short, we decided
to hold this secondary cer-
emony, which also gave
the community a chance
to preregister for next
years event. We had about
17 people sign up on Sun-
day, continued Gowler.
The Relay For Life
committee will be plan-
ning the Minnedosas
2015 event around July
5th once again.
Anyone interested in
participating or helping
out organizing the event
is encouraged to stop in
at Flowers on Main and
talk with Tammy.
