ne Ontario familys Tanksgiving vacation hit a snag on
Monday afternoon following a collision on Highway #16.
Minnedosa volunteer f refghters, EMS and RCMP were
called out to a motor vehicle accident two miles east of Uncle
Toms restaurant at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Oc-
tober 13th.
Both a van and Toyota Prius were found facing west-
bound when emergency crews arrived, however they had
been travelling in opposite directions before one of the
drivers crossed the centre line.
For safety sake, a few of the passengers were trans-
ported to the Minnedosa Hospital but were released
shortly thereafter, explained Constable Taggart with the
Minnedosa RCMP.
Taggart notes that one of the drivers will be charged with an of ence
for crossing over the middle line but would not specify which driver.
In total, eight people were involved in the crash. T e van was transporting a family who had been head-
ing to Alberta from Ontario for a family vacation.
Tere were a few minor injuries but no one was seriously hurt in the collision.

S
tudents at Minnedosa
Collegiate were given
the opportunity to investi-
gate possible future paths
last week as the high school
held a post secondary con-
sortium for grade eleven
and twelve students.
Tis kind of event
helps the students to think
about their next step fol-
lowing high school. What
kind of post secondary ed-
ucation they may want to
pursue or perhaps they are
more interested in an ap-
prenticeship or the armed
forces, explained Jessica
Raupers, career prepara-
tion and exploration coor-
dinator with Rolling River
School Division. Tis
event gives them a casual
atmosphere to explore
some of these questions.
On Tuesday, October
7th, the hallways and class-
rooms of MCI were full of
displays from over twelve
dif erent post secondary
establishments, ofering
the students the opportu-
nity to ask questions and
inquire about programs.
We have 12 dif er-
ent establishments rep-
resented today and nine
dif erent sessions will be
taking place. Te sessions
are small presentations
where the students choose
to sign up and a representa-
tive from the establishment
ofers an overview of pro-
grams and opportunities,
explained Raupers.
Sessions included rep-
resentation from the Uni-
versity of Manitoba, Assini-
boine Community College,
Manitoba Institute Trades
and Technology, Appren-
tice Manitoba, Brandon
University, Red River Com-
munity College, Providence
University, University of
Winnipeg, Canadian Men-
nonite University and the
Armed Forces.
Tis event also plants
the seed in their minds
about what career may in-
terest them for our upcom-
ing career prep days on Oc-
tober 22nd and 23rd, where
students will get the op-
portunity to go out into the
community and experience
a full day of work in the
career that they choose,
added Raupers, who is in
her frst year as the career
preparation coordinator.
Raupers previous
worked with Assiniboine
Community College as a
post secondary consortium
representative and is excit-
ed to have taken on the new
role which sees her on the
other side of the event.
T ese sessions are
so great for the students.
Tey are given a chance to
ask anything they might be
wondering without hav-
ing to make the efort of
contacting a representa-
tive themselves. It can re-
ally spark motivation, give
them the drive to work hard
and excite them for the
possibility of what comes
after high school.
Post secondary repre-
sentatives of er advice on
what students may need to
be taking in their fnal years
of high school in order to be
accepted into certain pro-
grams, ofer campus tours
and also stay in contact fol-
lowing the event in order to
assist with the application
process.

O
n Friday, September
12th, four visitors
from Souris spent fve and
a half hours in Minnedosa
evaluating our commu-
nity as part of the First
Expressions Community
Exchange. A similar group
of Minnedosans also vis-
ited Souris to evaluate that
community. Te results
shared between the two
communities are hoped to
be benefcial to build upon
each communitys success
and overall experience for
both residents and visitors.
Visiting Minnedosa
from Souris were Vern
May, Economic Develop-
ment Of cer for Souris
and Glenwood CDC; May-
or Darryl Jackson; Cham-
ber of Commerce Chair-
person Sande Denbow
and community citizen
Sheila Kirkup. At Tues-
days Minnedosa Cham-
ber of Commerce meeting,
Souris/Glenwood EDO
Vern May presented the
fnal 25-page report on the
Souris groups frst impres-
sion of Minnedosa.
Overall, out of a pos-
sible 300 point score,
Minnedosa earned 273
points which equates a rat-
ing of 91%. Five positive
things about the commu-
nity that were identifed by
the Souris visitors includ-
ed: 1. Beautiful, unique
natural setting with hills,
valleys and waterfront. 2.
Friendly people. 3. A dis-
played respect for commu-
nity history and heritage. 4.
A full slate of services from
education, healthcare and
other professional ofer-
ings. 5. Positive reputation
among travellers as a de-
sirable travel destination.
Participants were
asked to give a frst fve-
minutes impression of
Minnedosa by simply
driving through the com-
munity without stopping.
From this, the Souris group
found the south entrance
to town (from Highway
#16 and Highway #16A)
the most welcoming with
the pull-in stop area and
signage promoting local
businesses, attractions
and amenities at the for-
mer Esso/Prairie Pantry
site. Tey found the west
and north entrances to
Minnedosa not as wel-
coming and lacking sig-
nage. Once on Main Street,
the visitors frst impression
was that Minnedosa has a
bustling business district
with a great sense of im-
mediate services (gas, food
and bank machines) easily
accessible. Te f owers on
the boulevard and down-
town attractions such as
the tank and Founders
Parks grabbed the visitors
attention. Such attractions
could very well make visi-
tors want to stop and ex-
plore the downtown area a
little further.
T e group identi-
f ed three potential op-
portunities available to
Minnedosa. Te frst was
a need for increased vis-
ibility. More signage and
billboards along Highway
#10 would be benefcial to
advertise what Minnedosa
has to of er travellers. It
was also suggested that
community publications
such as Te Beachcomber
and CDC Resident Guide,
collaborate internally for
brand-consistency, cost-
savings and to encourage
merchant buy-in. Tere
was also a recommenda-
tion to put greater consid-
eration on the needs and
interests of the youth and
young adult population of
our community to expand
on recreation and enter-
tainment alternatives.
Te two biggest chal-
lenges facing Minnedosa
were identif ed by the
Souris group as being
our proximity to Brandon
which can be an obstacle
to both current businesses
and when trying to attract
new businesses as well as
our lack of sight line visi-
bility for incidental travel-
lers on the adjacent high-
ways. Unlike communities
where a major highway
runs right through town,
such as Neepawa, we need
to invest more resources
to grab travellers atten-
tion to make them want to
turn of the highway for a
visit to our town.
Since their visit to our
community, the Souris
group reported its impres-
sion of Minnedosa has
changed from being just a
great vacation destination
to being a possible com-
munity to relocate to and
reside in.
The Minnedosa First
Impressions group, which
consisted of Garry Mac-
Dowell, Bruce McNabb,
Donna Dillabough, Ross
Mackling and Cheryl Orr
were scheduled to pres-
ent their final report on
their visit to Souris yes-
terday (Thursday).

R
ecently I have learned of some misleading in-
formation being circulated about what happens
within the Council Chambers of the Minnedosa Town
Of ce during Town Council meetings. I think for
me, my greatest concern with this is the fact that it
is coming from someone who is NOT a regular at-
tendee of our Town Council meetings. In my thirteen
year involvement with Te Tribune , I have been ab-
sent from only a small handful of regular and Com-
mittee of the Whole Town Council meetings. Of the
more than 300 Minnedosa Town Council meetings
I have attended, I have seen this individual at only
one, maybe two meetings a year in recent years. Usu-
ally the only meeting this individual attends are the
fnancial plan/budget meetings. Yet somehow, this
individual appears to have vast knowledge of how
the meetings are run and what happens within the
walls of our Towns Council Chambers.
Here is what ACTUALLY happens at our Minnedo-
sa Town Council meetings, as witnessed by my own
eyes and ears over the past thirteen years;
Te meetings are called to order by the Mayor or
Deputy Mayor in the Mayors absence. Resolutions are
discussed and passed to accept the meeting agenda
and minutes from the previous meeting(s). If there
are any delegations or public hearings they are dealt
with next. Evidence, presentations or any concerns are
voiced openly in front of members of council and any
members of the public who may be in attendance.
Any new bylaws or amendments to bylaws are
then dealt with. NEVER have I witnessed a bylaw pro-
posed, given all three readings and passed during one
single meeting. Te procedure is that the bylaw will be
introduced, discussed and possibly given frst reading
at one meeting with any further discussion, second
and third readings taking place at a later date. Usually
this is done at the next regular meeting of council.
Following any bylaws, council reviews, discusses
and passes the fnancial accounts and statements for
the Town. Often, members of council have questions
for clarif cation on certain expenditures which are
posed to and answered by the ACAO. Te next item
on the agenda is council reports. Tese reports are
often the part of the meetings I fnd most interesting
and informative. Te Mayor, CAO and each member
of council is given an opportunity to report on re-
cent council business they have been involved with
individually. Sometimes they share concerns, com-
pliments or questions that have been voiced to them
from residents. Each member of council also reports
on the happenings of the numerous council sub-com-
mittee or community organization meetings they have
recently attended.
Once reports are f nished, resolutions are dealt
with. Te Mayor will read the resolution, of er an op-
portunity for discussion and often there will be some
discussion on the resolution at hand. Te Mayor then
calls for the vote and any councillor who is not com-
fortable voting in favour can and will vote against it.
While we have had councils that work well together,
can agree to disagree and move forward without hard
feelings, I certainly have witnessed resolutions which
have NOT been unanimously passed. I have never
once witnessed a councillor being strong armed into
voting in favour of something he or she disagrees with.
Everyone has their own opinion and those opinions
are respected by others around the council table.
Once all resolutions have been discussed, voted
on and passed, council goes In Camera for any
discussions as allowed under the Municipal Act.
I can only recall a couple times in which Council
came out of its In Camera session to pass a resolu-
tion. If you view the Town Council minutes posted
online on the Minnedosa website you will see that
it is extremely rare that any further resolutions or
council business is conducted after council closes
its In Camera session.
Remember, municipal council meetings are
open to the public and our current Town Council has
never been shy in extending invitations to the pub-
lic encouraging them to attend. I encourage anyone
who may have concerns with what takes place within
our local council chambers to attend a meeting. Te
meeting schedule is posted on the Minnedosa web-
site. By coming out and attending a council meet-
ing you will have an opportunity to learn and see
frsthand what ACTUALLY happens in the decision
making process as our municipal leaders move our
community into the future. I hope to see some of you
there in the future!
What Actually Happens at a Town Council Meeting
Have Your Say
Wednesday, October 22nd is Election Day in Mani-
toba. On that day, Manitobans will elect members of
their municipal councils and school boards for the next
four year term. Voting is simple and extremely important
every vote counts! If you dont cast your vote you have
no right to judge or complain about the decisions your
elected of cials make for your community. During the
2010 Civic Election, voter turnout for Minnedosa was a
sad 45% of eligible voters. Lets have a better voter turn-
out this time. Cast your vote and have your say!
Small Business Week
October 19th to 25th is Small Business Week in
Canada. Tis year, Small Business Week is celebrating
its 35th anniversary and we can all do our part to join
the celebration. How? It all starts with visiting your lo-
cal small businesses, shopping at them and supporting
them to ensure they can maintain their business for you
and your community. Of the more than 1.1 million busi-
nesses in Canada, 98.2% of them are classifed as small
with less than 100 employees on staf. Shop local, thank
and congratulate those who are involved in small busi-
ness in your community. Not only this week but every
day of the year!
Village Volunteers...
Approximately 40 people gathered for supper at the
50+ Centre Wednesday night. Te occassion was the vol-
unteer appreciation supper hosted annually by Minnedo-
sa District Museum and Heritage Village Corp. Trough-
out the year, numerous volunteers lend a helping hand in
support of the local museum. Most recently, community
volunteer, Donna Hogg, organized another successful fea
market with all proceeds, over $500, going to the museum.
Museum Chairperson, Pat Skatch, was also successful
in recently securing another $500 grant for the museum
through the RBC Employee Volunteer Grant Program for
donating more than 40 hours of time toward the museum.
In a couple weeks the museum will kick-of its second an-
nual Heritage Memory Light fundraiser. Watch for more
details in an upcoming edition of Te Tribune.

fter a number of years
with a steady decline
in the student population,
the Rolling River School
Division is pleased to re-
port an increase in pupils.
Last September 30th
we had a student popula-
tion of 1700 students. Tis
September 30th we have
1733 registered students,
explained Reg Klassen, su-
perintendent of RRSD.
According to Klas-
sen, this school year, the
kindergarten class is the
largest in the division with
grade two being the sec-
ond largest and grade four
the third largest.
Since I have been
with the division, for the
past six years, I have only
ever seen a decline in the
student population. Tis
will be the frst year that
I have witnessed an in-
crease in enrollment. Its
an exciting trend that we
certainly hope will con-
tinue in the future.
Over the past few
years, the division has seen
a steady decline of 30-50
students per year. Klas-
sen contributes this years
growth to an increase in
town populations and
birth increases.
Many of our school
communities are working
very hard at attracting new
families. What we are see-
ing is that there is quite a
bit of growth happening
in our towns, not so much
in the rural areas but actu-
ally within town limits. We
can tell that this is happen-
ing because this year, even
though we have grown in
terms of student numbers,
we have dropped three bus
routes, added Klassen.
Enrollment numbers
show that on average this
years early years classes
have more students than
the high school classes.
Te graduating class of
2014/2015 is reported to
have 123 students.
RRSD Reports Increased Enrollment

T
he front page of the October
18th, 2004 Tribune featured
this photo of Danika Proven
working on the north stone pil-
lar of the Heritage Village stone
entrance gate. Te initial idea
for the gate came from longtime
museum member, Jamesy St.
John who recently passed away.
She put up the initial $1,400
to kick of fundraising for the
$6,000 project. Jamesy joined
forces with Ken Harris and the
two turned the idea into reality.
Today, the handsome stone pil-
lars adorn the entrance to the
Heritage Village. If you havent
noticed it in the past, be sure
to try and fnd the stone but-
terfy hidden somewhere in the
stonework.

R
olling River School
Division Ward Tree
trustee candidates, incum-
bent Ken Camerson, Barb
Gilleshammer, Clarice
Robinson and Shawna So-
tas-Burton, were quizzed
with the questions and
concerns of parents and
local citizens at last weeks
candidates forum.
On the evening of
Wednesday, October 8
th
,
the candidates gathered at
Tanners Crossing School
to participate in the public
forum.
Te forum allowed
each candidate to open
with a brief three minute
address to the crowd, fol-
lowed by a question pe-
riod.
Te frst question
brought forward was di-
rectly for Ken Cameron,
who has served on the
board in the previous two
terms. Te audience mem-
ber asked Cameron how he
could truly understand the
current situation in RRSD
schools if he is not a parent
of a current student.
I am a parent; how-
ever my children are no
longer in school. You could
argue that because I dont
have a kid in school I may
be more objective in the
decision making process.
But, just because I dont
have a child in the system
doesnt mean that I dont
think about what it is these
kids need. And I do have
a grandchild in school,
which to me is just as im-
portant, responded Cam-
eron.
Te next topic brought
up was in regards to the
recent national academic
testing results that were
released to the public. Te
results revealed that Mani-
toba students testing the
lowest in the country.
Candidates were
asked, in their opinion,
what needs to be done to
improve the situation.
Multi-level classrooms
need to be re-evaluated.
Tere is extra help and it
is working but in my ex-
perience, I do feel that it
should be re-examined,
commented Sotas-Burton.
Gilleshammer re-
sponded, We need to
work with all the difer-
ent groups involved, the
school boards, teachers
and parents. We need to
work to keep our class siz-
es small and continue to
develop programs like the
literacy and numeracy as-
sistance.
Clarice Robinson be-
lieves that the division
must watch classroom siz-
es and support the teach-
ers through better training
and increase student sup-
port.
Cameron agrees that
multi-level classrooms
should be reviewed. I
think that everything that
is implemented should be
examined. But also, when
it comes to the article I
think that it would be ben-
efcial to look at the actual
facts and fgures and not
just what the media is re-
porting.
Multi-level classrooms
are a hot topic with par-
ents and throughout the
division. Tanners Crossing
School has implemented
this across all grades this
school year. An audience
member asked the can-
didates if they were for or
against this style of learn-
ing.
If we are to stay with
multilevel classrooms,
we need to have smaller
class sizes throughout and
certainly develop better
support for teachers, re-
sponded Robinson.
Cameron supports the
style of learning and notes
that this decision was
made based on national,
provincial and divisional
research fndings.
As a teacher I do see
that there are benefts and
with the research that I
have read and I do feel that
there are many positives
to this style of learning,
Gilleshammer comment-
ed. You have to have class
sizes capped around 20
students. If we are going to
continue with this we must
keep the class sizes small.
I personally dont like
multi-level classrooms.
I support the small class
sizes and I do think that
whether multilevel or not,
our teachers need more
support. I dont under-
stand why multi-level was
brought in and I feel that
the division should exam-
ine how it is working in our
schools, added Sotsa-Bur-
ton.

i nnedos a Town
Council met for its f-
nal meeting Tuesday night
before next weeks elec-
tion. Mayor Orr presided
with Councillors Skatch,
Saler, Luker, Taylor and
MacDowall in attendance.
Councillor Wedgewood
was absent.
Council heard a pre-
sentation from CP Rail on
the companys safety pro-
cedures. Tere has been
great concern in com-
munities in which rail-
ways run through, such
as Minnedosa, since the
derailment disaster in
Lac Megantic, QC in 2013.
Watch for a feature article
on this presentation in an
upcoming edition of Te
Tribune.
Council approved an
expenditure of $79,000 for
immediate repairs to the
Minnedosa District Arena.
Te front addition (en-
trance, canteen and lobby)
has received a new metal
roof, insulation and vent-
ing. Renovations to wash-
rooms and the dressing
rooms are also part of this
project.
One tender was re-
ceived for a water main
replacement project on
Main Street from the foun-
tain at 3rd Ave. south to
the far south end of Main
Street. Te only tender
received was submitted
by Rob Smith and Son of
Neepawa in the amount of
$113,400. Council accept-
ed the tender. Work will
include replacement of the
water line and service line.
Future work will include
new pavement and better
drainage control.
Following a request
from the Manitoba Farm
Womens Conference, be-
ing held in Brandon next
month, Council agreed to
provide a sponsorship of
$500. Members of Council
recognize the work done
by farm women and hope
the sponsorship will pro-
vide another community
promotion/tourism op-
portunity for Minnedosa.
Council also reviewed
a letter from Minnedosa
Minor Baseball asking for
cost sharing to place rock
along the base of the up-
per baseball feld to assist
in stopping soil erosion
washing down onto the
new Richardson Pioneer
Century Field. Council dis-
cussed this request and felt
that as it is somewhat of an
urgent matter with con-
cerns about spring runof
in 2015, looking into the
budget and earmarked a
commitment of $5,000.
During committee
reports, each member of
council spoke briefy on
their four year term on
council. Weve worked
hard, mentioned Mayor
Orr. Some things worked
out while other things
didnt work out as we had
hoped. We have a lot of
things currently in prog-
ress to move forward with
over the next four years.
Councillor Saler
shared the Mayors com-
ments, as did all other
councillors, and added
We had some disagree-
ments but I think it would
have been a terrible thing
if we all sat here for four
years and never dis-
agreed.
Te Mayor, council-
lors and staf thanked
Councillor MacDowall for
his service and wished
him all the best in his re-
tirement from municipal
politics. MacDowall came
back to the council table
when Councillor Diane
Hartley relocated to Win-
nipeg. I have appreciated
my three years on Coun-
cil as I did my previous
four year council term,
mentioned MacDowall.
Everybody has had great
respect for one another
around this table.
CAO Jenkins wrapped
it up best when he shared
his thoughts on the past
four years with council,
You all worked togeth-
er and have one similar
goal in mind the bet-
terment of this commu-
nity. Tere is nothing but
potential for this town.
Council will host an
appreciation luncheon for
Town staf next Monday as
a fnal wrap-up and thank
you to all Town employees
for their commitment and
hard work over the past
four years.

T
he Pavilion at the
beach overlooking
Minnedosa Lake is show-
ing its age. Tis unique
structure, built 1967 as
Minnedosas project to
mark Canadas Centen-
nial, is no longer utilized
to its full potential. Sadly,
it has become one of our
communitys most over-
looked and underappre-
ciated gems and time has
certainly taken its toll on
the building.
Even in its current
state, the old pavilion can
still be transformed into
a pretty amazing event
facility. Tis was proven
recently when a wedding
was held at the pavilion.
Te photo at left shows
what some creative deco-
rating can do to transform
the outdated pavilion into
a beautiful wedding facil-
ity with an amazing view!
Earlier this year, Town
Council established a
subcommittee to go out
and evaluate the pavilion
and make a checklist of
needed maintenance and
upgrades to bring the pa-
vilion back to its former
glory. Hopefully, this plan
will continue as a prior-
ity with our new council
so that more events can
be hosted at this unique
structure.

Watch out for deer ticks
Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection
that people can get from the bite of an infected
blacklegged (deer) tick.
Manitobans can reduce contact with deer ticks by avoiding wooded or
forested habitat, wearing long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, tucking
in clothing, using an appropriate repellent (it should state for use
against ticks on the product label), looking for and removing ticks as
soon as possible.
For more information about Lyme disease, its symptoms and how to
prevent it, visit our website at www.manitoba.ca/health/lyme/
You can help
You can help in the study of Lyme disease in Manitoba by collecting
and submitting deer ticks for research purposes:
Deer ticks are smaller than the more common wood tick.
Unlike wood ticks, they do not have white markings on their
bodies.
If you nd a deer tick, remove it slowly from skin or clothing
using tweezers and steady pressure; avoid twisting. Cleanse
area with soap and water or a disinfectant.
Place the tick in a small, crush-proof container (for example, a
pill bottle) with a piece of slightly damp paper towel (to help
keep the tick alive).
Firmly tape the lid shut.
Check the pictures and additional information on the website
to determine if your tick might be a deer tick.
Hand-deliver or mail the sample to the address below. If
mailing, place the container in a sealed plastic bag then in a
cardboard box labeled: RESEARCH SPECIMENS FRAGILE
HANDLE WITH CARE
Include your name, telephone number. email address and
information about where, when and on whom (e.g. a dog,
a person) the tick was found. Deliver or mail to:

Saturday, October 11th at
8:30 a.m. Heritage Co-op,
Minnedosa was the scene
of the event where winners
Teresa and Dean Wareham
prepared for the two min-
utes of running the aisles.
Dean was the runner and
did an admirable job of
staying focused on the task
at hand.
When the buzzer
sounded and the groceries
were tallied up Dean had
collected $648.00 worth of
groceries. Dean then an-
nounced that he and Te-
resa were making a cash
donation of $325.00 to the
Minnedosa and Area Food

ing back, especially since it
was Tanksgiving.

volved and put forth some
of their priorities for the
upcoming term.
Klassen was the f rst
to speak, touching on the
topics of councils trans-
parency to the public and
the Towns garbage levy.
Luker was brief in his
opening statement, noting
that he would not be mak-
ing any defnite promises
of what he would accom-
plish as he would be one
of six votes, but he would
ensure that he was do-
ing what was best for the
town.
MacDowall spoke of

ing council forward in its

the public, rectifying the
towns water issues as well
as instituting a plebiscite
for the MREC plans.
Saler described the
many ways he has been

his family in town and
an aging mother living in
the community, he has a
vested interest in every

munity.
Skatch described her

a volunteer?
Klassen responded,
I have been involved in
a variety of things, experi-
ence in fnance, Im a for-
mer teacher, I have been
on several boards in other
communities. However, I
dont believe that being a
community volunteer is
relevant or necessary in
making council decisions.
I have a fnancial mind
and that is what I would
be bringing to the table.
An audience member
posed a question to all
returning council candi-
dateswould it be possi-
ble to improve the council
meeting minutes in order
to allow the public to bet-
ter understand the deci-
sions that are made?
Candidate Taylor re-
sponded, I do believe
that all of the minutes
from our meetings are
posted on the town web-
site and moving forward
we will certainly make a
concerted ef ort in de-
veloping more context to
them.
A number of ques-
tions surrounding MREC
were brought forward, in-
cluding inquiries of where
the funds for the feasibility
studies have come from, if
built, how the new facility
will be managed and if it
will be maintained better
than the current arena has
been.
Candidates were also
asked if elected, would
they be in favour of a
plebiscite on the MREC
project. All of the return-
ing councillor candidates
responded not in favour.
We are elected to
represent the people of
this community and we
believe we are moving for-
ward with what we think
is best for the people of
Minnedosa. Tere are
many volunteers that have
put forth an immense
amount of work into this
project and they are put-
ting their faith in us, as we
are in them, said candi-
date, Rick Saler.
Marks and Klassen
both responded in favour
of a plebiscite. Marks stat-
ing, As this is not an es-
sential facility, I believe
that it is necessary to
hold a plebiscite. I am not
against a new facility but
I do believe that the pro-
posed plans are more than
this town need and that
the public should have a
say.
As Klassen has been
vocal about not being in
favour of the MREC proj-
ect, he was also asked
by an audience member
whether he believed that
having a recreation facility
would help in attracting
young families to live and
grow in the community?
People dont move
for an arena, they move
for jobs. So, to build an
arena that is fnancially
unsupported does not
make sense, commented
Klassen.
Marks was ques-
tioned about his personal
situation on paying taxes
and how it would impact
his position on council.
No, I do not pay taxes. I
own a trailer in town and
as such I pay a license fee.
The fee is the same for all
trailers. If I were to pay
taxes based on what I paid
for the trailer if it would
be assessed I would pay
less. The license fee I pay
is more.
An audience member
also asked Klassen, In
the opening statements
you were very negative
and even made a few
personal attacks on fel-
low candidates, if you get
elected are we looking at
four years of arguing and
personal attacks?
No, I have been on
boards before and I know
that you must work to-
gether and that I only
hold one vote. But I do
express my opinion and
I am not shy to disagree.
I dont believe in the
closed doors. What I want
to see is a good discus-
sion, responded Klassen.
Other topics that were
addressed throughout the
question period were at-
tracting young families to
town, establishing busi-
nesses along the highway,
doctors, improving the
local health care and how
the council plans to work
together moving forward.
Each of the candi-
dates were given a final
two minutes to speak and
the evening was wrapped
up with acclaimed Mayor
Ray Orr wishing all the
candidates the best of
luck, thanking the audi-
ence members for at-
tending and ensuring
that whoever is elected,
Minnedosa Town Council
will continue to move for-
ward, working together to
make the best decisions
for the community.

By JENNIFER PAIGE
T
hrough the combi-
nation of expertise,
three born-and-raised
Minnedosa residents have
recently launched a new
company.
Russell Huyghe, Matt
Saler and Cody Huyghe
have teamed up to present
Copperwood Enterprise,
a plumbing, heating and
construction service that
will also ofer equipment
rentals.
Eventually, we hope
to become a one-stop shop
for all of the communitys
building needs. It has al-
ways been my intention to
open my own business and
I feel that now is the right
time, explained Russell
Huyghe. I have the right
partners and have col-
lected all the proper tools
and equipment needed to
establish our plumbing di-
vision.
Huyghe has been
working in the plumbing
industry for over 10 years
and has held his journey-
man ticket for the past six.
Joined by his brother,
Cody Huyghe, Copper-
wood will look to launch
its construction division in
the spring. Cody has been
actively working in the
construction industry for
the past ten years.
We will be taking on
any size project, from new
construction to renova-
tions, fences, decks, you
name it, added Cody.
Saler makes up the
third partner in the new
endeavour. With a bach-
elor degree in business
management, Saler will be
looking after the business
aspect of the operation.
We also of er equip-
ment rentals. Currently
we have begun to grow
our inventory and develop
our price list. We will be
renting out various pieces
on a day-rate and hope
to develop a wide array
of equipment, explained
Saler.
Currently, Copper-
wood has a number of fat
bed trailers as well as a
12-foot enclosed trailer, a
skid steer, packer, and jack
hammer available for rent.
Serving Minnedosa
and surrounding areas,
Copperwood is open Mon-
day through Friday and is
now available for quotes
and inquires.
We currently have
about a dozen jobs on the
go and are certainly ready
to ofer our services to any-
one looking for plumbing
or heating services, added
Huyghe.

A New Trades Venture
Midnight Fire in Clanwilliam
By JENNIFER PAIGE
A
n older home lit up the sky over Clanwilliam on
Monday evening after mysteriously catching fre.
Te cause of the f re is still undetermined at this
time. Te home was directly in town at 4th Street and 2nd
Avenue. By the time that we had reached the scene the
home was completely engulfed. It was a total loss, a let-
burn situation, explained Minnedosa Fire Chief, Dallas
Brykaliuk.
Minnedosa volunteer f refghters were called to the
structure fre at 11 p.m. on Monday, October 13th. On
route, fre crews were informed that the home was in fact
vacant.
Clarence Nagorski had been the former resident of
the property and no one had occupied the home since
his passing more than a year ago.
Te building had no power source so we are unsure
of how the fre would have sparked. But we were lucky in
that we had a good night with very little wind, which al-
lowed us to control the embers, explained Mike Kowal,
Minnedosa frefghter.
Fire crews stayed on scene, controlling the burn for
approximately three hours. An investigation as to how
the fre started will follow.

M
innedosa residents
of all ages came out
to the Minnedosa Com-
munity Conference Cen-
tre to witness an evening
of illusion and trickery.
Brought to the community
by the Minnedosa United
Church, Stage Fright was
held on the evening of
Tuesday, October 7th.
Tis is my 35th tour
and not my frst time per-
forming in Minnedosa.
I stopped in about two
or three years ago for a
performance. I have per-
formed in nearly every
province in Canada, over
500 communities, ex-
plained Stage Fright magi-
cian, John Kaplan.
Kaplan, a life-long
magician, ofers audienc-
es family-oriented magic
and illusions, all the while
of ering the community
groups the ability to fund-
raise through ticket sales,
souvenirs and pledge con-
tests.
When arranging the
show I provide the host-
ing group with a guide
to follow that will assist
them in making the most
of the event. I charge a fat
rate for my performance
and then anything above
and beyond the commu-
nity group gets to keep,
explained Kaplan. Te
guide that I provide to
them can also give them
some strategies that they
can take forward to other
events.
Kaplan has been
holding his fall tour an-
nually since 1980. Before
coming to Minnedosa he
had performed in Melita,
MB and following his stop
in Minnedosa proceeded
to Fort McMurray, AB.
Born in Calgary, Ka-
plan now resides in Rich-
mond, BC with his wife.
He began practicing mag-
ic at the age of nine after
receiving a magic set for
Christmas.
Stage Fright was a
90-minute performance
with a number of illu-
sions, including sawing
someone in half, making
an audience member dis-
appear and reappear, and
levitating an audience vol-
unteer.
I really just love per-
forming for family audi-
ences and being able to
bring communities tan-
gible fundraising results
at the same time, added
Kaplan.
Te event was orga-
nized by Lorna Hislop,
who mentioned that the
funds raised from the
event will be utilized at
the United Church for
general operating expens-
es and all the things the
group continues to do in
the community.

ON THE FARM
By ELMER KASKIW
S
ome good harvest
progress over this past
week although much of
what has been harvested
has been taken of at damp
and tough moisture levels.
Te overall cereal har-
vested is now estimated
at 90% complete although
there are some pockets
which still have substan-
tial acres remaining to be
harvested. Much of the
remaining cereal harvest
includes late seeded oats
and wheat.
Quality loss is now be-
ing noted in most spring
wheat samples. Oat yields
have been generally com-
ing in at above long term
average yields with aver-
age bushel weights.
Te canola harvest is
now also estimated at 90%
complete. Canola for the
most part has cured well
after the recent rains with
no signifcant issues with
green seed and generally
above long term average
yields being reported.
Te f ax and soybean
harvest are just beginning
with early yield reports of
25-35 bushels in fax and
30-40 bushel range in soy-
beans with generally good
quality and minimal green
seed issues in soybeans.
Fall Weed Control
A number of calls this
past week regarding fall
weed control and whether
control measures were still
advisable given the recent
back to back nights of frost
having reached lows of -5
to -7 Celsius. Field obser-
vations indicate that the
previous below normal
single digit cool to cold
temperatures and lows
near the freezing mark did
an excellent job of harden-
ing these plants of.
Most grasses and
many of the broadleaves
including Canada thistle
are only showing minor
injury as a result of these
recent frosts.
Te cool temperatures
prior to these frosts result-
ed in a hardening process
which increases their tol-
erance to severe frost. Te
hardening of of plants to
frost generally occurs in
two phases.
Te f rst phase of
hardening takes place at
temperatures around the
freezing mark when plants
accumulate carbohydrates
or plant sugars because of
a decrease in the rate of
respiration.
T e second phase
takes place at mild to
moderate frost and is ac-
companied by the loss of
water in plant cells and
a thickening of cell walls
where the cell contents be-
come insensitive to more
severe frosts and the pres-
sure of ice formation. As a
result there is still plenty of
healthy plant tissue avail-
able to facilitate herbicide
uptake especially after the
return to warmer tempera-
tures.
Flax Harvest
Te hardening of of
plants this fall to fall frost
has also created issues
with green fax straw that
wasnt desiccated prior
to the signifcantly cooler
temperatures.
Tese plants especial-
ly in the lower canopy are
still quite green making it
dif cult to cut especially
when they begin to take up
moisture when tempera-
tures cool. Tis leaves only
the short afternoon hours
where harvest can occur
and the plant has dried
down to a point where it
can be cut and combined.
Unfortunately little
can be done at this point
to enhance dry down since
desiccation will no longer
be ef ective leaving only
further more severe frosts
as an option to dry down
the plant further.
Elemental Sulphur
Application
Growers who have
been growing canola on
an every second year basis
have been drawing down
sulphur levels which may-
be leaving soils in a sul-
phur defcit.
Sulphur levels can
be dif cult to soil test for
since sulphur is quite mo-
bile in the soil which can
result in some extreme
variability in soil test re-
sults. Since sulphur ap-
plications at canola seed-
ing are also generally seed
placed with phosphate re-
quirements higher sulphur
rate can lead to seed toxic-
ity under adverse growing
conditions.
One option to help al-
leviate sulphur shortages
is to use elemental sul-
phur. Elemental sulphur
is generally applied in the
fall since it has more time
to oxidize and will be more
readily available when the
crop needs it although full
conversion and availabil-
ity to next years spring
crop is not guaranteed.
Some spring applied sul-
phate fertilizer will still be
required. Growers who
apply elemental sulphur
in fall are encouraged to
continue this practice on
a regular basis as part of
their sulphur fertilizer pro-
gram.
A history of elemental
sulphur use builds up the
oxidizing bacterial popula-
tion, which will speed up
the conversion to plant-
usable sulphate.

L
osing a child is a par-
ents worst nightmare.
On October 15th, Manito-
bans will mark Pregnancy
and Infant Loss Awareness
Day. Its a chance to show
our support for families
who have endured the loss
of a child before they can
truly know them.
Each year in Mani-
toba families experience
the heartbreaking loss of
an infant through miscar-
riage, stillbirth, while giv-
ing birth or shortly after.
Tis time of grief for fami-
lies requires support and
understanding.
Pregnancy and In-
fant Loss Awareness Day
is about more than ac-
knowledging and trying to
understand this grief, said
Riding Mountain MLA
Leanne Rowat. Its also
about celebrating the lives
of these babies.
Te motion to observe
Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Awareness Day was passed
by unanimous vote in the
Legislature in October
of 2009. We are proud to
mark the sixth annual day
and show our support for
all Manitobans that have
dealt with this grief.
Even the shortest of
lives have a profound im-
pact on parents and loved
ones. Tats why building
awareness throughout the
province of the challenges
faced by these families is
a positive and proactive
means of establishing sup-
port and understanding
within our broader com-
munity.
Its important that
families know they are not
alone. T e Crisis Preg-
nancy Centre in Winnipeg
or Compassionate Friends
in Brandon ofer support
services that can help fam-
ilies as they work their way
through their grief.

"C0MM0hl7Y Mlh0E0"
By DR. JOE SCHWARCZ
McGill University Of ce for
Science and Society
D
avid Copperfeld per-
formed many an illu-
sion on television with his
hair blowing in the wind,
tussled by an ofstage fan. I
was reminded of that efect
by an episode of the Dr. Oz
show in which the hot air so
often generated by the host
was amplifed by a fan la
Copperf eld. And Oz, too,
was performing a sort of il-
lusion if we go by the def-
nition of the term as some-
thing that deceives by a
false perception or belief.
In this case, Oz
dumped a bunch of yel-
low feathers on a patch
of synthetic turf adorned
with some synthetic plants
to demonstrate pesticide
drift. Te f urry of feathers
was meant to illustrate how
neighbouring felds, as well
as people who happen to
be nearby, may be afected.
A powerful visual skit to be
sure, but a gross misrepre-
sentation of the risks posed
by pesticide drift.
T e reason for the
demo at this particular time
was that, in Ozs words, the
Environmental Protection
Agency is on the brink of
approving a brand new
toxic pesticide you dont
know about. Te reference
was to Enlist Duo, a mixture
of the weed killers glypho-
sate and 2,4-D (short for
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic
acid), designed to be used
on corn and soy grown
from seeds genetically en-
gineered to resist these her-
bicides. Fields can then be
sprayed to kill weeds with-
out harming the crops. En-
list Duo is already approved
in Canada.
Te need for the new
combination was gener-
ated by the development of
resistance to glyphosate by
weeds in felds planted with
crops genetically modi-
fed to tolerate this herbi-
cide. Such resistance has
nothing to do with genetic
modif cation, it is a con-
sequence of biology, since
some members of a target
species will have a natural
resistance to a pesticide
and will go on to reproduce
and yield ofspring that are
also resistant. Eventually,
the whole population be-
comes resistant. Tis is the
same problem we face to-
day with bacteria develop-
ing resistance to antibiot-
ics.
Oz got one thing right.
Pesticides are toxic. Tats
exactly why they are used.
And that is why there is ex-
tensive research about their
efects and strict regulation
about their application.
Remember that there are
no safe or dangerous
chemicals, just safe or dan-
gerous ways to use them. As
far as 2,4-D and glyphosate
go, there is nothing new
here, since both of these
have been widely used for
years, although not in this
specifc combination. What
is new is the development
of crops resistant to 2,4-D,
which will allow for its use
to kill weeds in corn and soy
felds, something that was
not possible before. Tis
has raised alarm among
those who maintain that
2,4-D is dangerous and that
its increased use is going to
afect human health. Dr. Oz
apparently is of this belief,
and as the feathers were
fying around the stage, he
chimed in with how 2,4-D
is a chemical that was used
in Agent Orange which the
government banned dur-
ing the Vietnam War.
2,4-D, was indeed one
of the components in the
notorious Agent Orange
used to defoliate trees in
Vietnam. Tragically, it was
later found to be contami-
nated with tetrachloro-
dibenzodioxin (TCDD),
a highly toxic chemical
linked to birth defects and
cancer. Tis dioxin, how-
ever, has nothing to do with
2,4-D. It was inadvertently
formed during the produc-
tion of 2,4,5-trichloroacetic
acid, or 2,4,5-T, the other
component in Agent Or-
ange. Tat is why the pro-
duction of 2,4,5-T, but not
2,4-D, was banned.
It is deceitful to im-
ply that the new herbicide
is dangerous because it
contains the harmful com-
pound that was used in
Agent Orange. Not only
does Enlist Duo not contain
any TCDD, the form of 2,4-
D it does contain is also dif-
ferent from what was used
in Vietnam. Enlist Duo is
formulated with 2,4-D
choline which is far less
volatile than 2,4-D itself
and has an even safer pro-
fle. While legitimate con-
cerns can be raised about
genetic modif cation, it is
disingenuous to scare the
public by linking the new-
ly proposed herbicide to
Agent Orange. It is also ir-
responsible to show videos
of crops such as green pep-
pers being sprayed, insinu-
ating that Enlist Duo will be
used on all sorts of crops
whereas it would only be
suitable for Dows geneti-
cally engineered corn and
soy.
Now on to the issue of
pesticide drift, which can
happen in two ways. Tiny
droplets of the spray can
be carried by air currents,
and the chemicals can also
evaporate and spread as a
vapour after being depos-
ited on a feld in their liq-
uid form. Tese are realistic
concerns especially given
that some schools are lo-
cated in the vicinity of ag-
ricultural felds. But these
are just the sort of concerns
that are taken into account
when a pesticide is ap-
proved. For example, one
well-designed study con-
cluded that a person stand-
ing about 40 metres from a
sprayer would be exposed
to about 10 microlitres of
spray, of which 9 microli-
tres are just water. Calcula-
tions show that the amount
of 2,4-D in the 1 microlitre
is well within safety limits,
and of course spraying isnt
continuous, it is done a few
times a year. Consider also
that 2,4-D choline, which is
what is found in Enlist Duo,
has far lower volatility and
tendency to drift than 2,4-D
itself, further improving its
safety profle.
While no pesticide can
be regarded as risk-free, the
portrayal of Enlist Duo by
Dr. Oz amounts to unsci-
entifc fear mongering. His
f nal comment that this
subjects our entire nation
to one massive experiment
and Im very concerned
that were at the beginning
of a catastrophe that we
dont have to subject our-
selves to totally ignores
the massive number of ex-
periments that have been
carried out on pesticides
before approval, based on
a scientifc rather than an
emotional evaluation of
the risk versus beneft ra-
tio. True, when it comes
to pesticides, there is no
free lunch. But without
the judicious use of such
agrochemicals producing
that lunch for the close to
10 billion people who by
2050 will be lining up for
it becomes a challenge.
What we need is rational
discussion, not the spray-
ing around of feathers and
ill-informed rhetoric in a
deception-laden stage act.
If I want deception on the
stage, Ill stick to watching
David Copperfeld.

Like the geese, many Manitobans are getting ready to head south for the
winter to avoid another harsh winter. But before these snowbirds set fight,
CAA Manitoba has some tips to ensure their stay in the sun is worry-free.
DOCUMENTATION
Identifcation: Make sure your identifcation like your passport and drivers
license are up to date and is not set to expire during your travel. Passport
photos can be taken at a nearby CAA Manitoba branch.
Copies of documents: Copy or scan your important documents for easy
access.
Permits: Driving in a country other than Canada and the U.S.A? You may
be required to carry an international driving permit, available at any CAA
Branch.
Check your dates: In the U.S.A., if you stay more than 183 days in one
calendar year, you may be deemed a resident.
PROTECTION
Travel insurance: Purchase travel health insurance to protect you from any
unexpected medical expenses (this can be purchased at any CAA branch or
online).
Caretaker: Arrange for someone to look after your house while you are away,
including picking up mail and shovelling. Talk to your insurance broker to see
what frequency is required for your policy.
Car maintenance: if you are travelling down south by car, top up your fuids,
test your battery and check your tire pressure, hoses and belts. Make sure to
bring your CAA card with you!
PERSONAL
Register your travel with the Canadian Embassy.
Let your bank know you will be away.
Ensure you have enough medication for your stay .
Saving Lives During Operation Impact

cluding two Impaired by Drug), 24 administrative roadside suspensions (23 by alcohol, one
by drugs), 27 charges for failing to wear seatbelts, six charges for using a handheld electronic
device while driving, 633 other traf c-related charges, including speeding, intersection
relatedand other provincial charges and 16 Criminal Code Traf c Ofences, including

fc Services Units and Detachments.

O
ctober 21st will mark
the one year anniver-
sary of the day the Rapid
City fre hall was devastated
by an accidental electrical
fre, leaving nothing behind
but a pile of smoldering
rubble.
T e volunteer f re
fghters along with a num-
ber of town residents ral-
lied immediately after the
fre and thanks to various
loaned equipment from
neighbouring fre crews,
were able to be functional
the next day.
Since the time of the
accident the town has seen
great support with dona-
tions from Spectra Energy,
Trans Canada Pipeline and
many local donors, which
has allowed the community
to rebuild the station, even
adding a few upgrades.
Construction of the
new fre hall on the north
side of Main Street, next to
the Rapid City Library, be-
gan in May. Local contrac-
tor Leo vanVeen Carpen-
try Ltd., was tendered the
project.
Te nearly-completed
hall includes an additional
vehicle unit as well as a
board room and an extra of-
fce for the Town and rent-
al use.
Te Town is hopeful to
have the building complet-
ed by the end of the month
as they would like to be
able to store the vehicles
in their new home for the
winter.
Te construction of
our new fre hall is coming
along very well. Te con-
tractor has about 30 hours
of work left on to fnish. We
will be planning an of cial
opening later in November
with members of TeTown
and the local fre crew,
commented Rapid City
Mayor, Orest Woloski.
Fire Hall Revived a Year Later
