Discussions Continuing
For New Clinic

Finishing The Inside of The Ag Barn

By DARRYL HOLYK

or some time now, there have been discussions regarding the possibility of a new medical clinic for
Minnedosa. While it may appear to some as if nothing
is happening on this issue, the exact opposite is actually
true. There are regular behind the scenes discussions and
meetings taking place among the Town, Community Development Corporation (CDC), Regional Health Authority (RHA) and other community individuals. While there
is no concrete plan at this time, there is a strong movement underway to establish a new Primary Care Clinic
(PCC) in Minnedosa.
Last Wednesday evening, February 18th, a small
group of members met to review where the clinic project
currently stands and what the next step in its development may be. While there is no guarantee a new clinic
will attract more physicians to Minnedosa, there is a
strong belief that it would certainly be beneficial in the
recruitment process, not to mention a benefit to current
clinic staff, physicians and users. The current clinic, built
in the 1950s is simply out-of-date. Physicians today have
higher expectations than in years past and the crowded
examination rooms, traditional pen and paper patient records and vintage furnishings and equipment of the current Minnedosa Clinic are a deterrent for new physicians
considering Minnedosa as a place for their practice.
The proposed location for the new PCC is the piece
of property located west of the Minnedosa Health Centre
and north of Frontier Trading Company along 1st Street
S.W. which is currently owned by the RHA. Recently, the
RHA hired an industry consultant to provide Minnedosa
with a project cost estimate and basic concept drawing of
the clinics possible layout. What was determined by the
consultant was the need for a 5,500 sq. ft. building which
would cost in the neighbourhood of $1.5 to $1.75 million. While these are figures supplied by the consultant,
it has been decided locally to approach local contractors
for cost estimates. When the project is ready to move forward with construction, it is hoped that it can be done
using local builders and trades people.
How this project would be financed is currently in
discussion and there are a few suggestions being considered such as establishing a not-for-profit community
owned corporation or as a community co-operative.

ive years ago, the Town

and Ag Society entered
an agreement and a new
ag barn was constructed
to improve the Minnedosa
Ag Society site. Over the
course of this time, the
barn has been improved
to be an indoor riding arena and also a place to hold
functions such as wedding
socials, etc.

has already started at the

North end of the barn
where there will be a
washroom, two showers and a fully functional
kitchen. This construction
begins the next phases to
be completed, making the
barn more functional for
ag and community events.
The new construction will
be completed in two phases, phase one to complete
framing and phase two for
the taping and painting

due to the fact that there

is a shortfall in funds to
complete it all at once.
This is a big project
and one that we would
like to see finished as soon
as possible, stated Ag Society President, Clarke
Swain. All the fundraising
will be put to good use so
that the barn can be used
more efficiently.
The Town has confirmed $30,000 for this
project and the Ag Society

has also approached the

R.M. of Minto and Odanah in hopes of raising
more money along with
applying for a Community Places Grant in the
amount of $27,000. The Ag
Society will know the outcome of this grant request
in April.

gets in 2015.
Ken Jenkins, CAO for
the Town of Minnedosa,
has stated that they will
do their best with the removal of diseased trees locally and will contract out
the work for any private
property removals with
safe and efficient contractors. The Town of Teulon
is sending a letter to the
Provincial Government in
regards to these new regulations stating how unjust
it is. Minnedosa will be

sending a letter of support

of Teulons letter.
Dutch Elm Disease
is a fungal disease that
blocks water movement in
elm trees and eventually
leads to death of the entire
tree. The native American
elm is most susceptible
to Dutch Elm Disease.
Th e introduced Siberian
elm species (sometimes
incorrectly referred to as
Chinese elm) is less susceptible to Dutch elm disease, but can still become

infected and die.

Elms are vase or umbrella shaped with rising
branches from a single
trunk. The have dark green,
veined leaves that are
toothed and uneven at the
base. The bark is dark grey/
brown and furrowed, with
broad intersecting ridges
and a rough flaky appearance. In cross-section the
bark has alternating brown
and white layers.
You can help with the
elimination of Dutch Elm

Disease by getting rid of

all dead and diseased elm
trees and elm firewood,
basal spray healthy elms
with insecticide to kill elm
bark beetles, which spend
the winter in the bark at
the base of the tree, keep
elms in healthy condition
through proper tree care
(pruning, regular watering
and fertilization) and inject healthy elm trees with
a registered fungicide.

New Requirements for Fire Public Works Shop Update

Department Applications
By ASHLEY HANKS

here are going to be upgrades

and requirement changes in the
Minnedosa Fire Departments application for safety and equipment knowledge. The Town of Minnedosa wants all
new firefighters to be trained to a high
standard so no one is at risk to themselves or their teammates.
The Town is implementing an attendance rule where each firefighter
will be required to attend at least 60%
of all practices each year. All members

must also obtain a Class Four drivers

license to be able to drive the fire truck
if needed.
We have a very dedicated and responsible team of firefi ghters and we
want to keep their skills sharp stated
Town CAO Ken Jenkins. Our community and surrounding area are very
lucky to have a wonderful fire department. We want to recognize and thank
the employers of our firemen who give
the guys time off during the day so they
can attend as fire fi ghters.

Restaurant Closes Bakery to Re-open

By ASHLEY HANKS

osie Snyder has run

the Minnedosa Inns
Restaurant for ten years
and both her and her husband Tom have decided to
move on to a new adventure. Th ey have recently

purchased the local bakery. Being that this is a big

step, both Tom and Rosie
believe that this is a great
opportunity for investment into something that
will be completely their
own.
Rosie started out

cooking at home, learning

from the best, her Mom.
Between waitressing in
Clear Lake as a teenager
to working at the hospital
in Erickson, Rosie has accumulated over 30 years
in the business and hopes
that it will come in handy

New Clinic in the Works

Continued
from Page 1
One of the next steps
in the process is to create
a business plan to determine actual costs of not
only building a new clinic
but also the ongoing operating costs once the building is built and in use. It
is believed that there will
need to be 35% equity in
place and 65% mortgage

financing to move forward

with construction.
The current plan being
considered could possibly
house a minimum of seven
users. These users would
include four physicians
and one nurse practitioner. There have been suggestions that other health
care related users whether
administrative or preventative health could also be
housed in the new clinic

Other fundraising proposals are rental of the
barn for functions such as a request to hold a wedding there in 2016, selling naming rights to the land,
putting up company banners, selling advertising and
selling squares for memories, sponsorships and advertising on the interior barn wall.
Upcoming events for the Society to also help
raise funds are a craft and used tack sale in April
which will also include a sleigh ride weather permitting, a possible barn dance in May, the heavy and
light horse fair in July. The site will also be home to
the Minnedosa Rodeo this August Long Weekend.

While it may still feel like a Manitoba winter out

there, our local spring sports groups are looking forward to warmer temperatures. Elsewhere in todays
edition you will find advertisements for youth soccer
and baseball registrations which will be taking place
this coming Monday at The Pit at TCS. Thats a welcome sign knowing it wont be long until our soccer
fields and baseball diamonds will be back in use. We
are only a few weeks away from the official start of
Spring on March 20th.

Rave On

I was fortunate enough to attend the Rave On!

Buddy Holly Tribute in Strathclair this past Sunday
night and can assure all who are planning to attend
their performance here in Minnedosa this coming
Sunday that you are in for a great show. The three
Westman performers; Tom Dowden, Roman Clarke
and Dylan MacDonald completely transform themselves into their roles as Buddy Holly and The Crickets and take you back to what it would have been like
to attend an actual Buddy Holly appearance in the
1950s. For those attending, I hope you enjoy it!

Value in Yearbooks

A few weeks ago we brought you a couple stories

regarding the importance of high school yearbooks.
We are happy to report that MCI yearbooks sales for
this time of year are currently at a record number of
52 out of 60. For the first time in several years, the
MCI yearbook is reaching close to a sell out! Just this
past week, I received an email from one of our faithful subscribers in Penticin, BC letting me know that
she still frequently looks through her Minnedosa
high school yearbooks from the 1940s. Theres the
proof high school yearbooks are a valued treasure
for decades after you graduate!

Dear Editor,

Re: A Record to be Proud Of

Letters to the
Editor

obert Sopucks letter last

week is just one more reiteration of the same talking
points we hear over and over
again from the Harper government.
Statistics used so loosely without any context or information to back them up are nothing but numbers and,
besides meaning little, are also very misleading. The fi gure the federal government continues to use, 1.2 million
new jobs created since the depth of the recession looks a
whole lot different from another perspective. Four hundred thousand people lost their jobs during the recession
in 2008 but those jobs returned in the subsequent recovery and were not part of a job creation plan by the Harper
government so should not be included in any numbers
claiming to be so. The Conservatives use 2008 as a base
year for their job creation numbers but that skews the
statistics heavily in their favour. If the government was
trying to give us a true picture or their job creation, the
statistical measure should be from 2009. To keep up with
the demands of our population demographics, Canada
needs 308,000 new jobs per year. From 2009 to 2014
therefore, 1.55 million new jobs would be needed to keep
up to labour force demand. Removing those 400,000 recovered jobs from the job creation picture shows a gain of
780,000 which is only half of jobs necessary to satisfy that
demand. Also, at a time when our government claimed to
be investing in job creation, they cut 200,000 good public service jobs.
Perhaps a better indicat
or of the health of our labour
market is the employment rate, as this measures the proportion of those of working age who actually have a job.
According to these statistics, Canada is actually creating
jobs at one third the average rate of the last four decades;
The average level of job creation for any 12 month period
going back to 1977 is 214,000. By mid 2014, Canadas
economy added just 72,000 net new jobs from the year
before. In the past two years, most of the new jobs created are on the mid to lower end of the pay scale and the
quality of new jobs has deteriorated with each year. A
labour force survey from January of this year shows that
Canada added 35,000 new jobs, but examining the numbers closely we can see that Canada LOST 10,000 full time
jobs and added 47,000 part time jobs, almost all of which
were through self-employment. Self-employment may
seem like a panacea but may bring lack of financial security and stability with no guaranteed income, skewed
work-life balance, loss of benefits and difficulty securing aff ordable insurance including medical and dental
among other things. Also of note, one out of five new
jobs that were not created through self-employment
went to temporary foreign workers. Yes, those jobs are
included in government job creation numbers. January
2015 labour force numbers also show that Canadas employment rate was 61.4% but in 2008 that number was
63.8%. There has actually been a steady downward slide.

When Mr. Sopuck uses

the words small business
and touts the tax savings
that his government has created for the backbone of our
economy, it brings to mind
mom and pop businesses
whose owners work very hard
and could no doubt benefit from tax reduction; However
the majority of small business operations benefitting are
not those of our imagination. Sixty per cent of the small
business deductions go to taxpayers with incomes over
$150,000/year (University of Calgary). The evidence suggests that most of the benefits of the tax rate reductions
for small business go to individuals who use a corporate
structure to avoid paying personal income taxes and that
most of these individuals are at the top of the income
distribution scale. It is used as a tax avoidance strategy
for very high income earners in Canada. Although this
was not the intention of the government, this strategy is
missing the target and has created yet another tax loophole for those who dont actually need it resulting in lost
government revenue as well as contributing to income
inequality.
According to the TD Bank, housing and its spinoff s
contribute about half of the Canadian economy and we
are depending on this hot housing market plus household consumption for our economic prosperity. Levels
of debt to disposable income are at an all time high for
Canadian families. The economy is being propped up by
consumer and housing purchases with an over-reliance
on credit. If, as Mr. Sopuck claims, the Harper government is providing the necessary support and tax relief
for families to flourish, why do all the banks, including
the Bank of Canada, keep warning us that Canadian family debt levels are perilously high? Without the creation
of above average numbers of full time and high paying
jobs things could end very badly for many of us in this
economy. The suite of family tax measures simply do
not adequately address this looming problem.
Austerity and the obsessive focus on balanced budgets leads to slow job creation and growth. The invisible
hand of the market does not and is not ensuring full employment or sound economic growth in Canada. Cutting the GST did nothing to stimulate our economy, was
recognized almost unanimously by economists of all
leanings to be a mistake and removed billions of dollars
from government revenue that could be used during this
slow growth time. Our streets are indeed safer but the
rate of crime has been decreasing for decades. Yet the
Harper government is spending well over 80% more on
the federal prison system than previous governments.
Astronomical spending on prisons doesnt make our
communities any safer and we need only look to the USA
for proof of that.
I would like, just once, to see a letter from Mr. Sopuck
that seemed a genuine attempt to frankly and openly
communicate with his constituents, not just pass on the
same old same old. Im not holding my breath.

160km Speed Nets

Driver $835 Ticket
Cops Corner
By

Cst. JUSTIN
HUDDLE

ello, and welcome to the Cops Corner. Cpl. Taggart says one more week of cold weather then it will
warm up, and I am gonna hold him to it.
Police responded to 72 calls for service. A variety of
calls as usual. A local male was charged with impaired
driving after hitting the ditch near Minnedosa. He is
currently waiting for his first court appearance to begin
dealing with his charges.
A variation of the Nigerian Billionaire letter was
dropped off to Minnedosa RCMP. Apparently the rich
scam artist has moved overseas closer to us now, and
therefore its easier for us to have access to his money!
SCAM! Absolutely a scam, it always was, and still is.
Fraud... dont give people access to your valuable bank
information, social security, and dont give away credit
card information to suspicious people!
This weeks speeder of the week was a doozy. A 22year-old female from Portage La Prairie was braving
the blowing snow and decided that 160km/hr was an
appropriate speed to do so. Traffic Services managed
to slow her down with the police lights and issue her a
friendly reminder not to ever go that fast again. Maybe
the $835.75 fine will serve as a reminder not to try that

Im tasked to capture the

A community is not
defined by its buildings nor

this community great is
our people all of them.
Evolving Minnedosa and

dislike, what we need and
even what we each envision as the potential for the
future. For that, I want to
talk to everyone our business community, our clubs
and organizations, our seniors, our parents and our
kids. We all have a stake in
shaping the future of this
community and we start
today to work toward those
goals.
Sparking a renewed
interest in our community
for visitors as well as business must include an ef-

fective social media strategy and must tap into the

information at hand era
of life today. The evolution and widespread use of
mobile technology needs
to be considered when we
invest time and resources
into marketing strategies.
We also need to work together to ensure that here
in the community we have
a handle on the full scope
of activities we are hosting
or presenting, so that we
can better communicate
that outward in a co-ordinated fashion. Our presence in the media, both locally and regionally is also
important to ensure that
the world around us knows

Hi there Reena,
We have rediscovered
a relatives chinaware from
the 50s. The style is quite
amazing for that period of
time. However there is no
mention as to whether or
not it is dishwasher safe.
Im thinking it isnt just
because of its age and the
lack of automatic home
dishwashers at that time.
So the question is what
is the difference between
being dishwasher safe
and not being dishwasher safe?What happens
if we wash the dishes in
the dishwasher? Would it
matter if we turned off the
heated dry cycle? David
Dear David,
Th is is one of those
long standing debates
where china owners differ. Some experts claim
they can actually tell the
diff erence between china
washed in the dishwasher
several times, versus hand
washed china. Hand washing is the safest method for
cleaning china unless your
dishwasher happens to

off er a button specifically

designed for fine china.
Harsh detergents containing bleach along with high
water temperature can
play a big part in damaging
china, specifically hand
painted china or weakened
china containing small
cracks. Dishes with gold
accents may become damaged from high water temperature or water force. If
you choose to place dishes
in the dishwasher, select
cold water, mild dishwasher detergent and air dry.
Dear Reena,
My mom is turning 72
this week and I am trying
to make a home spa for her
birthday. Can you give me
an idea for a cheap homemade face mask treatment? Vera
Dear Vera,
Nice idea! Combine 1
tbsp. regular plain yogurt
with 1 tsp. soft honey. Apply to face and leave for 7
mins. Pat and rinse with a
clean, hot washcloth.

Wayne Peter Bruce, Bat,

passed away at the Minnedosa
Health Care Centre at the age
of 63. Wayne was born to Harold and Joyce Bruce in Winnipeg, MB. Wayne lived with
his family in Winnipeg until the
age of 15 years when his family
moved to Minnedosa in 1966 to
take over the then Marshal Wells
Hardware Store. The family moved with
Waynes four siblings; Karen, Sherry, Joy
and Larry. The Bruces welcomed their youngest family member, Donald while living in Minnedosa. Wayne had many childhood stories of Catholic summer school, summers at his Uncles
farm and falling out of a car. Wayne graduated from Minnedosa
Collegiate and attended one year of Fine Arts at the University
of North Dakota. Wayne enjoyed many jobs and was the owner
of local businesses, Masters Autobody and Bruces Mens Wear
before settling on the Insurance Brokerage profession. Wayne
and Fay met when he was 15 and she was 14. They married May
3rd, 1980 and had three children; Carla, Garrett and Joshua.
Wayne loved winter vacations, Manitoba summers, family and
friend get togethers, music, art and living in Minnedosa.
Wayne is survived by his wife Fay, daughter Carla and spouse
Bill, son Garrett and wife Tina and son Josh and spouse Robyn,
grandchildren; Erika, Hayden, Aiden, Amiyah and Ryder, his
siblings and their spouses; Karen and Ian, Sherry and Rick, Joy
and Richard, Larry and Karen, Don and Kathy, brother-in-law
Bill and wife Sharon. Wayne loved all of his nieces, nephews,
great nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Wayne is predeceased by his parents Harold and Joyce Bruce,
in-laws Hap and Mary Congdon, brother-in-law Terry Ritchie
and sister-in-law Marg Congdon.
The funeral was held at St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church
and officiated by Father Mark Filips on January 15th, 2015 with
the interment to be held at a later date. Honourary pallbearers
were Jim Pelts, Gary Hopkins, nephews Kurt Ritchie and Ryan
Collen. Charitable donations can be made to Central Plains
Cancer Care that locally assist those with cancer with drivers
and additional care. Thank you to Nathan White and Minnedosa Funeral Services, Minnedosa Health Care Centre, Father
Mark, colleagues, our caring community and our friends and
family for the hugs, words of support, keeping our family fed,
flowers and your generous donations. Thank you to Grant
McPhail who will be taking over Waynes insurance business.
Wayne truly did love Minnedosa.

CHEF DE Z
ON COOKING
The Best Meatballs

alking through a
warehouse
store
the other day, a package
of
frozen
meatballs
caught my attention. I
said to my wife, I wonder
how
many
people
actually buy these, and a
small discussion between
her and I, surrounding
this topic, ensued. I love
meatballs in pasta dishes,
sandwiches, soups, stews,
and other applications,
but I would never dream
of buying them premade.
There
is
obviously a place in the
market for convenience
foods, I get that. And
although my comment
above was made partially
in jest, I do realize that
people have busy lives
and making food from
scratch probably does not
sit high on their priority
lists. However, there is
probably a percentage
of the population that
perhaps, just doesnt
know how to make good
meatballs from scratch.
So for the culinary
adventurous, and the
culinary curious, I give
you my base recipe
for meatballs that can
be flavoured to suit any
cuisine application.
Review
the
recipe ingredients below
and you will see that I list
1 tablespoon of dried
herbs and/or spices.
This can be any dry herb,
or any dry ground spice
(or a combination of
both) that will suit your
application. For example,
if you wanted to create
an Asian cuisine type
meatball I would suggest

using 1 tbsp of Chinese

five-spice powder; if
you wanted an Italian
cuisine type meatball I
would suggest using 1
tbsp of dried basil; or if
an Indian cuisine type
meat ball was preferred
I would suggest using
1 tbsp of ground garam
masala or curry powder
(or a combination of
both). Can you see
where I am going with
this? Its quite simple
really. Use your spice
rack as myriad of flavour
profile
combinations;
experiment and have fun.
Ground chuck,
by the way, is beef but
much better in flavour
than the standard ground
beef you buy at a grocery
store. Ground chuck can
be purchased from your
local butcher shop and
has a stronger, better
beef flavour to make the
best meatball possible
in combination with the
ground pork.
Now grab life by
the meatballs and dont
ever assume that you
have to be taken prisoner
by frozen convenience
foods.
Chef Dez Meatballs for
any occasion!
Combining
two different types of
meat gives the meatballs
more complex flavour.
Customize them for
any application with
one tablespoon of your
desired dried herbs/
spices.
1 pound (454g) ground
chuck
1 pound (454g) lean
ground pork

2 large eggs
1/2 cup fine bread
crumbs
1/4 cup minced onion
2 tbsp finely crushed or
minced garlic
1 tbsp dried herbs and/or
spices (see column above
for examples)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400
degrees
Fahrenheit.
Spray a baking sheet
with baking spray and
set aside (or alternatively
line a baking sheet with
parchment paper).
2. In a large bowl,
combine the chuck, pork,
eggs, bread crumbs,
onion, garlic, herbs/
spices, salt and the
pepper.
Mix
until
thoroughly
combined
into a homogenous
mixture. Roll bits of
the mixture into small
meatballs approximately
3/4 (three quarter) inch
in size and place them
on the prepared baking
sheet. You should have
approximately 45 to
50 meatballs. Bake in
the
preheated
oven
for approximately 20
minutes, or until their
internal
temperature
reaches 160 degrees
Fahrenheit (71 degrees
Celsius).
3. Place the cooked
meatballs on paper towel
temporarily to remove
some of the fat. Add
to your desired recipe
application.
Makes 45 to 50,
3/4 inch meatballs.

Ag Report... 2014 Manitoba Crop Yields

By ELMER KASKIW

he above average yields

in 2014 can be somewhat misleading given the
zero unrecorded yields on
the close to one million
acres that went unseeded
in much of southwest Manitoba.
Provincially,
Red
spring wheat averaged 50
bushels per acre, down
from the 61 bushel average in 2013 but still above
the ten year average of 48
bushels. In Risk Area Six
and Seven which covers
much of South Parkland,
the three most popular
red spring wheat varieties

were Carberry, Glenn and

Harvest which produced
yields in the 46-52 bushel
range. The feed or general
purpose wheat varieties
averaged 72 bushels and
were lead locally in our Risk
Area by Pasteur, Faller and
AC Andrew with average
yields in the 56-65 bushels
range. Winter wheat had a
disappointing year with a
53 bushel average down 19
percent from the ten year
average of 65 bushels. Locally in our Risk Area, winter wheat generally yielded
above the average with
yields ranging from 42-69
bushels and included the
varieties, Flourish, Buteo,

Falcon and Sunrise.

Canola yields averaged 37 bushels, down 14
percent from the 43 bushel
record produced in 2013
but still 10% above the tenyear average of 34 bushels
per acre. In this Risk Area,
canola averaged 36.7 and
38.6 bushels respectively
lead by 1012 RR, 5440 LT
and L130 LT. The highest
yielding variety was Invigor
Health 1145 at 45 bushels
on 20,126 acres.
Oat yields in 2014 averaged 89.6 bushels down
from the incredible 107
bushels average in 2013
but still four bushels higher
than the ten year average of

86 bushels. Top oat varieties

in this Risk Area included
Souris, Furlong, Summit,
CDC Dancer, Leggett and
Triactor with yields ranging
from 66-115 bushels per
acre and averages of 76 and
81.1 bushels respectively.
Barley yields came in
right at the 10 year average
of 61 bushels with Risk Area
average yields coming in at
56.7 and 52 bushels respectively led by the varieties
Newdale, AC Metcalf, Conlon, and CDC Austenson.
Barley acres saw a dramatic
29% drop in acres in 2014 to
311,276 acres.
Soybean acreage hit a
new high of 1.3 million acre

and saw a average yield

of 34 bushels down from
the 2013 record yield of 38
bushels but still surpassing
the 10 year average of 29
bushels. In Risk Area Six the
average soybean yield was
29.7 bushels led by the varieties Thunder 33003R2Y,
NSC Reston, and Dekalb
2310 with Risk Area Seven
not having sufficient acres
to report.
Flax acres in 2014 were
up by 11% to 80,799 however average yields were
down from 2013 dropping from 28 to 22 bushels
which is remarkably still 1.5
bushels over our ten year
average of 20.5 bushels. In

GROCERY

the Risk Area we saw disappointing average yields

of 21.7 and 19.7 bushels respectively led by the varieties Sorrel and Bethune.
Field pea acres in the
province saw a slight increase to 51,592 acres and
an average yield of 32.2
bushels down from the record 47.7 bushels in 2014.
In our Risk Area we saw
disappointing average
yields of 26 and 32 bushels
respectively led by the varieties Meadow, Agassiz and
Striker. These lower yields
were primarily a result of
excess moisture and an increasing incidence of root
rot.
