Fair Weekend Huge Crowds For Fun Fest

Photo by Darryl Holyk

Horses of all sizes could be seen at the


Ag Society Fair last weekend.
By DARRYL HOLYK

ince it was founded in 1882, the Minnedosa Agricultural Society has continued to hold successful
summer fairs each year. The most recent Minnedosa
Fair was held this past weekend at the new Ag Society
grounds, at the far west end of the former fairgrounds.
In the last few years, the transition to the new site
was underway with outdoor horse events taking place
at the new grounds while the Home Living exhibits remained at the far east end of the MREC grounds. This
made for quite a trek for spectators wanting to take in
everything the local fair has to offer. This year, for the
first time since relocating to the new grounds, all fair
events, including the Home Living exhibits and canteen were held in close proximity on the new site. Ag
Society President, Clarke Swain, indicated that this was
made possible at the very last minute.
We fi nished up yesterday (Friday) at midnight,
said Clarke, stating that the generosity and hard work of
volunteers and local contractors resulted in the washrooms and kitchen in the new ag building being ready
to use for the fairs opening Saturday morning. These
facilities, along with the exhibition hall are located in
the north end of the new ag building. The south portion
of the building houses the animal stalls during the fair
and is used as a riding arena in the off-season.

he summer festival spirit was definitely fl owing


through the air last weekend as Minnedosa hosted
its annual Fun Fest celebration. Huge crowds were experienced at many of the attractions and events taking
place this Fun Fest weekend. We are very happy with
how the weekend went, agreed Fun Fest Co chairs Erin
Woodcock and Krista Powell. There were great crowds
and a lot of out-of town people here. Some of the success to this years Fun Fest may be attributed to extended
advertising and the fact that some neighbouring communities are not hosting summer festivals this year.

Nova Scotia 4-Hers Explore Minnedosa

Are You Ready


For A Tornado?

By DARRYL HOLYK

ince Wednesday, July


8th, Minnedosa has
played host to a group of
4-H exchange students
from Nova Scotia. Six 4-H
members between the ages
of 14 and 17, along with
two chaperones arrived in
Manitoba as the first leg
of this summers 4-H exchange. On Wednesday,
August 5th, six members
of the Minnedosa 4-H for
Teens and Erickson Beef
Clubs will be heading to
Nova Scotia with two local
chaperones to complete
the exchange.
During their visit to
Minnedosa, the Nova Scotia group has been busy
trying to learn and soak
in as much Manitoba culture as they can while also
taking some time to relax
and enjoy our summer
weather. Manitoba attractions were pointed out to
the 4-H visitors right from
the moment their plane arrived in Winnipeg. On the
way here, we pointed out
such things as the White
Horse (at St. Francois Xavier), Happy Rock (at Gladstone) and our own Canvasback Duck, stated 4-H
Leader Karen Bramley.
The group was welcomed with a Meet and
Greet and during their
stay in the area are being billeted with local 4-H
families. The families are

Local and Nova Scotia 4-H exchange students toured


the Heritage Village Monday morning.
taking turns hosting the
group for suppers. Being in Minnedosa for Fun
Fest weekend was enjoyable for the 4-H visitors. They learned a lot
about Minnedosa by taking part in the scavenger
hunt and Fun Fest Frenzy,
which was won by Linnae
Topham. With her $250
Minnedosa Money prize,
Linnae intended to spend
it on something to benefit the exchange program.
The local and Nova Scotia
4-H members also continued their giving back to
the community during Fun

Fest, in addition to having


a float in the parade, they
also helped out at a number of Fun Fest attractions
such as the Rotary Supper
and Lions Breakfast.
As the 4-H exchange
program is partially funded
through Heritage Canada,
the group spent a couple
hours at the Minnedosa
Heritage Village Monday
morning. Following a tour
of the village buildings,
the group enjoyed lunch
on the verandah of the
Octagon Display Building.
The group also visited Old
Church Pottery and Gifts
just north of Minnedosa,
spent some time up at

Clear Lake and Riding


Mountain National Park,
Spirit Sands in Spruce
Woods Provincial Park and
took a day trip to Souris
to experience the swinging bridge and take in the
Souris Rodeo. They also
toured Ken Kane Aerial
Spray, Burgess Farms and
a Hutterite Colony as well
as spending as much time
as possible soaking up the
summer at Minnedosa
Beach.
The Nova Scotia visitors will return home this
Saturday, July 18th to prepare for their visit from the
Minnedosa group August
5th to 15th.

ornado warning for Brandon, confirmed touchdown at Manitou, funnel clouds spotted at Killarney. If there is anything that the severe weather over
the past week has taught us, its this: it CAN happen
here. There were probably many of us staying tuned
over the weekend as the alerts were being issued.
In the event that a tornado warning was issued for
Minnedosa today, do you know what to do? Are you
familiar with our community emergency response
plan and the information for the community that is included in that plan? It may be time to get familiar with
that document so that you know what to do to keep
your family safe.
Behind only the United States, Canada sees the
most tornado activity annually each year focused
on southern Ontario and the three Prairie Provinces.
With the peak activity for tornadoes occurring any
time between April and September, were right at the
heart of a potential emergency right now. On average,
43 tornadoes occur each year on the prairies. Do you
know the difference between a weather watch and a
weather warning?
Environment Canada is the authority on weather
bulletins, though we may also hear from the Manitoba Weather Network and other media outlets locally
more immediately. A tornado watch is issued when
weather conditions are favourable to produce a tornado, however a warning is more serious. A warning
indicates that a tornado has occurred or has a high
likelihood of being about to occur.
The safest place to be during a tornado is a low
spot in an interior room away from windows, such
as an inner room in the basement or underneath the
stairs to the basement. Rooms that have extra support in the walls such as bathrooms are also ideal as
the bathroom pipes provide extra support to the walls.
Mobile homes and camper trailers are very unsafe
places to take shelter as they are not anchored to the
ground.
Get informed and stay safe. For more information

No we are not off


to the races, we are off on our annual summer hiatus. With this delivery of todays edition, The Tribune offi ce will close for one week so that
our staff can have a well deserved break and hopefully
enjoy some hot summer weather! There will be no Tribune published next week (July 24th) and our next edition will be just before the August long weekend, on July
31st. Our office will close today at 12 noon and reopen at
9 a.m. on Monday, July 27th. See you then!

Reminiscing

While at the tenth anniversary cake and coff ee party


at Chipperfi elds last week, Jim Clark pulled me aside
to introduce me to one of his coff ee partners, Wayne
Ingaldson. Wayne, the son of longtime Minnedosa residents Gordon and Evelyn Ingaldson was home from
Ontario and fortunate enough to take part in the anniversary celebration in the historic Chipperfield building
where he worked for the Chipperfield Brothers (Jim and
Eric) back in the 1960s. Pictured (L-R) are Jim, Bonnie
Mackling, Bob Bertram, Ross Mackling and Wayne.

ave you ever found yourself in the position to try


to take a negative circumstance and create a positive spin in order to avoid embarrassment? This was the
spot I found myself in last week when I had the opportunity to show off my town to a visiting colleague from
Sundre, Alberta.
My friend, a renowned writer with Glacier media as
well as a health and wellness online blogger, was visiting with her two young children and I suggested that
as they enjoy the outdoors and exploring that they investigate the Oxbow Nature Trail between Heritage Village and the spillway. While on the walk, I was pointing out some of the great things I have discovered about
Minnedosa and everything that I enjoy personally and
professionally about the community, including the trail.
As we wandered along the trail, I was remarking
how popular the trails were for local walkers, runners
and cyclists when my colleague stopped suddenly, ensuring that her children were watching their step to
avoid stepping in dog turd that was smack dab in the
middle of the route. It was an embarrassing reality that
I am becoming familiar with in my travels about town.
A little stunned I tried my best to shed a positive light on
the matter by telling my friend and the trails are also

very popular with dog lovers.


You never get a second chance to make a fi rst impression. Are we turning offfirst time visitors by not taking ownership of our own responsibilities as pet owners? Sadly, this wasnt a single, isolated discovery on
the trail that day. You reach a point where you can no
longer look at biological waste and promote it as a good
thing. My colleague didnt say anything, but I could see
by the grimace and brisk pace for the remainder of the
walk that she wished to put this trail behind her.
I cant express the relief that I experienced that my
colleague was not with me when I arrived at my home
later that day to discover that my driveway is apparently
also popular with dog lovers. Im not a pet owner myself, so this discovery was particularly irritating. Even
more so as this is not the first occurrence. Surely of my
many neighbours that are dog owners, they would not
have intentionally watched as their dog took care of
business in my yard and left it there, would they? They
wouldnt have set their dog loose to explore my yard on
their own, does that seem possible?
If not on purpose, then it would seem that I have
something in my yard that has been misplaced. Id really like to get it back to you though. Just drop me a note
with your name and address and Ill ensure that this is
returned promptly. Unlike our public parks, trails, and
recreation spaces I suspect that after this piece of writing, Vern May will NOT be popular with dog lovers.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people
and we need to talk. You can find me under the Discover Minnedosa banner onMain Street, reach me by email at edo@minnedosa.com, call me at 204-867-3885,
or keep up with the action on Facebook.

New Map In Place


T

he CDC and Tourism


Committee have partnered to replace the community maps located near
the Minnedosa Fire Hall
and Heritage Co-op Foodmarket. The original map
and covered structures
were installed by a former
Tourism group a number
of years ago and over time
have become worn, outdated and tired. The fi rst
of the two new maps (pictured at right) was installed
last week. Th e CDC and
Tourism group are now discussing the possibility of
moving the Fire Hall map
structure to a more userfriendly location.

Dont Fall For Revenue Canada Scam


Police Beat
By

Staff Sgt.
BOB CHABOT

am thankful for air conditioning this week! Its


been a scorcher; the summer weather so far has
been great.
Last week I spoke
briefl y about ying
fl
to
Gods Lake. I thought I
would take the time to
give some insight into our
Air Section. In D Division we have a dedicated
air section that covers our
entire province with air
support. This is a much
needed requirement that
serves mostly our north
district.
Our air section is a vital support and life line to
many of the fl y ins. We
have three Pilatus PC 12
aircrafts; two of which are
stationed in Winnipeg and
one in Thompson. Four
pilots, two administration
and two aircraft maintenance employees are in
Winnipeg and two pilots,
one aircraft maintenance
person in Th
ompson.
Many of our members
rely on these planes to get

Friday, July 17, 2015

them in and out of the remote communities.


The Pilatus PC 12 is a
single engine turbo prop
that has a pressurized cabin that can accommodate
up to six passengers. The
aircraft can fly at altitudes
of up to 30,000 ft. They
have a cruising speed of
260 knots or 300 miles per
hour.
90% of the fl
ying is for
the provincial side of the
work and 10% is federal
work. The majority of the
work is moving people
around for various duties,
including investigations,
court, and training and
maintenance of vehicles
or buildings. They are used
to transport our Emergency Response Team to high
risk situations as well.
Other types of work
include, searches for lost
people,
surveillance,
moving equipment, and
were once used to evacuate people from a community due to fires. This
was done only due to the

emergent situation where


life may have been lost.
Our pilots log over 2,000
hours of fl ying time per
year. They are an asset
that is well appreciated by
all members serving the
north.
In the past several
days we have received
many calls and complaints once again about
the Revenue Canada
Scam. Victims are being
contacted by an aggressive person, claiming to
be from Revenue Canada
advising there will be an
arrest warrant issued if
they do not pay their overdue taxes. They must pay
immediately or the police will be there to arrest
them. Of course this is not
the case and scammers
are diligently working to
steal your money.
Please report these
types of activities to the
following web address
www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca or by calling 1-888-495-8501.
Th ere were 54 calls
for service this past week.
One particular file was
disturbing and offensive. I am not shocked by
much these days but this
incident is just that. Between July 9th and 10th,
unknown person broke
into the Seech Lake St.

Peter and Paul Ukrainian


Orthodox Church. If that
is not disturbing enough,
the culprit stole crucifixes,
a challis, a red velvet covered gospel in the Ukrainian language and a very
ceremonial and holy cloth
used for the services. This
cloth has specific writing
on it and is unique to this
church. These items were
stolen from the tabernacle. There were a number
of other items stolen as
well.
Its hard to comprehend the thought process
someone has to break into
a church and steal these
items. Pardon the dark
humou r but I know they
werent stealing from Peter to pay Paul. I am hoping someone had a conscious and comes forward
with information on this
incident.
There were two ATVs
stolenthispastweek.
Another reminder to keep
your property secured at
all times.
There were 10 speeding tickets this week. The
speeder of the week goes
to a 48-year-old male from
Arborg, MB, with a fine of
$535 He was caught going
37 km over speed limit.

1885 There was no service in the English Church
on Sunday last as the Rev. M. Jukes was unable to
reach Minnedosa in time after his horse strayed
away from him while in Brandon. He was pleasantly surprised on his way home to find the horse
at Rapid City. It is thought the animal would have
found its way to Minnedosa.
1895 A defective rail permitted part of a locomotive to drop on the ties on Monday. This caused a
delay of an hour or so to replace it on the track. The
next morning, a long train of 38 carloads of cattle
and hogs went out, some of them shipped by John
Wake.
1915 The gaol garden is an object of lesson for
Minnedosans, and shows what can be done with
care and attention. It has large plots of potatoes,
cabbages, onions, carrots, beets, etc., all well advanced, the product in which must save much in
provisioning the institution.

1965 Town Council is investigating the cost of


installing traffic lights. Th e Editor wonders how
many years it will be before Minnedosa installs
parking metres.
1975 Minnedosas 93rd Exhibition had nearly
3,000 people in attendance. One of the highlights
of this years fair was a display of operating steam
engines and separators.
1985 Tribune Editor, Pat Murray commends the
local Canada Post staff on great service but indicates that there is less than first class service elsewhere in the system. He writes that Canadians will
have to continue to pay more for lousy service, mismanagement, intimidation and indolence.

Show, scavenger hunt and
other childrens activities.
Magician Patrick Gregoires
show was moved to the
arena due to wind interfering with his outdoor show.
About 60 people attended
the magic show. The Dunk
Tank was a great attraction
again this year. Brave participants were Paramedic
Kathy Wright, Tom Crook
with RFM, Shane Cameron, Wyatt Rapsky and Michael Birch with the Senior
Bombers Hockey, and radio
personality RJ Lilley.
Saturday also featured a
barbarians Rugby game, Legion Bingo and the return of

at the arena. That evening,
the arena played host to the
second Fun Fest Social featuring music by Sister Reign.
Sunday featured some
new events including Yoga
in the Park, a softball tournament won by The Untouchables and Teddy Bear
Checkups. This fun new attraction allowed children to
bring their stuffed animals
down to Tanners Park to
have a complete checkup
by a member of Minnedosa
EMS. This was a huge hit
and is hoped to return next
year.
The Lawn Mower Pok-

afternoon with seven entries starting from the cenotaph and following a course
that took riders out to the
Bison Park, up to Dalrymples Greenhouse, through
the cottage area and back
into town for some lawn
mower obstacle course
near the cenotaph.
Overall, great weather
and huge crowds made
this years Fun Fest one
to go down in recent
history. It was so nice to

see downtown full of people and excitement, said


Erin. By bringing in all the
out-of towners they can
take in all the Fun Fest activities plus explore what
our businesses have to offer
year-round, added Krista.
Planning
has
already begun for next years
Fun Fest and organizers
are open to ideas, suggestions and of course
new volunteers willing
to help out to make Fun
Fest grow and run smooth-

ly. We would like to get a


few more groups involved
with things for next year,
said Erin. Its a lot of work,
but its not hard work and
its fun.
Fun Fest organizers are
planning to host a Christmas Market in December
and the second annual
Fun Fest Fashion Show in
April. They are also investigating possible other Fun
Fest fundraisers and events
throughout the year.

Recreation Report

Queen Elsa had a great time
leading the parade and ensured me that everyone she
met was lovely and that she
will be back to see everyone
again.
Chipperfields donated
the ice cream for the kids
after the Kiddie Parade! Although the ice cream was a
bit sloppy, the activities after the parade were a lot of
fun. We saw lots of smiles

Centennial Year For Cardale Church


By DARRYL HOLYK

uietly nestled among


the trees at the west
end of Cardales main
road sits a handsome
old brick church. The sacred building has served
the community and surrounding area for 100
years and continues to attract an average of 20 to 25
people to its regular Sunday services.
While the community of Cardale is now a
quiet hamlet with only a
few residents still residing
within town limits, history
books indicate it was quite
the bustling place in 1915.
Settlers began arriving in the area in the late
1800s and early 1900s. The
Great Northern Railway
was constructed through
the area in 1908 and the
following year the Village
of Cardale was incorporated. In the early years,
residents gathered at the
village hall to worship. It
was soon realized that a
permanent church and
school were needed. Both
of these important public
buildings were constructed in 1915.
Th e church, built as
a Methodist Church was
built by Alf McFarland
with the assistance of carpenters Ralf Espey and
Cyril Litt. Tom Jenkins did
the mason work on both
the church and school.
The large Cardale School
was a landmark for over
ninety years before being demolished just a few
years ago.
Th e Cardale Church
was dedicated during a
special service in November 1915. The exterior of
the church appears pretty

much as it did on opening day 100 years ago.


The only notable changes
would be the concrete
front steps, updated front
doors and a small addition
to the rear of the building.
Inside, the church features many of its original
features including beautifully stained doors and
woodwork throughout the
sanctuary.
Seven years after
opening, in 1922, Cardale
Church welcomed Reverend A.F. Lavender as
its fi rst resident minister. Since that time, Cardale has been served by
30 ministers with Wendy
Radcliff e currently conducting the majority of the

the past ninety years. That


tradition continues today
and the church is booked
for yet another wedding
this summer. It has also
been host to many baptisms, funerals and other
special services through
its history. The annual
Christmas Eve service at
Cardale is always well attended often attracting a
full house of guests!
The movement of the
United Church of Canada
was underway in 1925 and
across the country, Methodist, Presbyterian and
Congregational denominations formed a union.
At this time, the Cardale
Church became known as
the Zion United Church.

Guest speakers are also
invited to take part in Cardale services from time to

Also in 1922, the former Dennison Church
was moved into Cardale
to serve as a manse. Over
time, surrounding church
district such as Dennison,
Roselawn, Ravens Glen,
Zion, McConnell, Marland and Marney became
part of the Cardale congregation.
Record books indicate that Cardale Church
hosted its first wedding
ceremony in 1925. Many

Cardale, Zion and Moline


became a pastoral charge.
The closing of Zion came
in 1949 and two years later,
Oak River joined Cardale
and Moline as a charge.
In 1954, Cardale became
part of the Strathclair pastoral charge and in 1973,
Cardale, Strathclair and
Newdale formed a charge.
Today, the pastoral charge
includes only Cardale and
Newdale.
Th roughout the past
100 years, music has been
an important part of the
Cardale Church family. In
addition to the churchs
upright piano, in 1953
with funds from the former Zion Church congregation, an electric organ
was purchased in memory of the areas pioneers.
Zion also donated toward
the purchase of a sound
system for the church in
1961. The Cardale Church
choir is still active and
over the years, three sets
of choir gowns have been
worn my choir members.
The fi rst black gowns were
replaced by maroon ones
which were hand made by
members of the churches
womens group in 1954.
Th e current blue choir
gowns were purchased
through a generous donation. The church has also
always kept up with the
most current hymn books.
Sunday School has

also been an important


part of the Cardale Church
and has recently been regenerated. The current
Sunday School enrollment
has only a few youngsters
but current church members are proud to keep this
tradition going.
Th roughout its long
history, Cardale Church
has been fortunate to
avoid any real disasters,
other than some shingle
damage and broken windows as a result of a severe hailstorm in 1995.
Ongoing regular maintenance keeps the church
and grounds in pristine
condition. A fairly major
landscaping project was
undertaken in 2003 which
brought a new brick walkway to the front entrance
as well as new trees and
shrubs around the historic
building.
Th e current congregation hosted a special
centennial
anniversary
service at the church on
Sunday, June 14th approximately 125 people
attended the day which
featured a regular service,
music, plaque presentations, anniversary cake
and a time of fellowship
and reminiscing.
Th e Cardale United
Church is now on summer
hiatus but will be back
with regular services in
September.

much available to rent

Ag Society will again be
selling memberships for
those wanting to use the
riding arena in the winter
months. Th is was introduced last year and was a
successful fundraiser for
the Ag Society.
Th is years fair saw
good entry numbers with
four heavy horse teams in
the six-horse hitch classes,
seven heavy horse entries
in the four-horse hitch
classes and over thirty en-

tries in the various light


horse classes. While the
Home Living entry numbers were down slightly,
the Saturday night baking
auction was again a success with some homemade
baking items generating
over $100 each!
New this year was a
Cowboy Challenge in
which horses and riders had to make their
way through an obstacle
course which included
such tricks as going up
and down and teeter-totter
and barrel racing. Organizers were pleased to have
ten entries in this fun new

challenge and hope to see


it return for next years fair.
We are trying to expand the fair and attract
new people, explained
Clarke. We are not as
competitive as some fairs.
We are pretty relaxed and
try to have something for
the whole family to enjoy.
Th e Minnedosa Fair
Weekend kicked off the
annual local fair circuit
known as the Milk Run.
Milk Run Fairs following
Minnedosa include Oak
River on Monday, Strathclair on Tuesday, Shoal
Lake on Wednesday and
Hamiota on Thursday.

Harding Fair was scheduled for today (Friday,


with the final Milk Run Fair
being held in Oak Lake tomorrow (Saturday).
The next big event to
be hosted at the new Ag
Society grounds will be the
Minnedosa Rodeo taking
place August long weekend. Following last years
rodeo, the outdoor rodeo
arena, chutes, fencing, etc
were relocated from the
old fairgrounds to a site
north of the new ag building. Hopefully all goes
smoothly in this transition
year with a successful rodeo at the new site.

Young Readers Visit Candyland


By DARRYL HOLYK

n Tuesday, June 30th,


the annual Summer
Reading Program kicked off
at the Minnedosa Regional
Library. This years program
co-ordinator, Hayley Survoy (pictured at right) has
planned an exciting Candyland themed reading
adventure for young readers in the community.
Th e purpose for the
annual Summer Reading Program is to provide
an exciting and enjoyable
outlet for students to continue to read and improve
their reading skills during the summer holiday
months. Each participant
is encouraged to read as
many books as they can
during the program which
runs from June 30th to August 15th. To keep track of
the number of books read,

each participant is given a


book log when they register. Even if participants
are unable to attend the
reading program activities at the library, they can
still take part in the program and log how many
books they read throughout the summer whether
its one book, ten books or
more. A special challenge
has been put forth to the
young participants to try
and reach a goal of reading thirty books this summer. Every time a participant reads five books,
they move forward on the
colourful Candyland map
on the wall at the Library.
Young readers will also
collect prizes and rewards
along their reading journey.
The Summer Reading
Program is offered free
of charge to all students

who have just completed


Kindergarten through to
students who have just
completed Grade Six. Registration continues until July 18th and as of the
programs opening day,
last Tuesday, a total of 70
young readers were registered.
In addition to reading and logging the number of books read, reading
program participants can
take part in special activity days at the library each
week. Hayley has also
planned a couple special
activity days throughout the program including a Movie Day later this
month and a visit from
Magician Ryan Price in
early August. The program will wrap up with a
special windup party on
the afternoon of August
15th

he Newdale War Memorial is undergoing somewhat of a facelift this year. The Newdale Community
Historical Society had earmarked some much needed
maintenance to the cenotaph with some of the proceeds from the sale of the Newdale 2000 History Book
and the communitys 2009 homecoming celebration,
Newdale 125.
Recently, the cenotaphs bronze plaque listing the
names of fallen soldiers from the area was removed and
sent away for cleaning. The plaque was originally placed
on the memorial in 1946 and over the years had become
dull and difficult to read. Following the cleaning process,
the plaque was returned to the Historical Committee
shining like a new copper penny! It has since been reinstalled on the cenotaph and will continue to proudly
honour the communitys fallen heroes for years to come.
The committee also had a new, small plaque created and installed on the front base of the cenotaph. This
plaque honours Newdale resident, RCAF Flying Officer,
David Eldred Bradley, who was killed while testing a F86
plane on August 20th, 1956. David was killed just two
months shy of his 23rd birthday and was laid to rest in
the Post War RCAF Cemetery in Choloy, France.
The Historical Society is also planning to install a
new fence around the cenotaph to replace the current
medal pipe fencing that has seen better days.
The Newdale War Memorial was unveiled in December 1920 and stands 18 feet high. It features a white
marble life-size statue of a Canadian soldier which was
hand carved in Italy. The memorial is located on the
south side of Main Street almost directly across from the
Memory Garden.

OBITUARIES
HELEN NORINE BAYES
DECEMBER 4TH, 1926
JULY 3RD, 2015
Surrounded by her loving husband and family, she rose into
the arms of the Lord at the age
of 88.
Helen was born in Brandon,
MB. She was the eldest of six
siblings to Ora and Vida Wilson.
She spent her early childhood
years in Isabella, MB before the
family moved to Winnipeg in September 1929. In 1945, Helen graduated
from Daniel McIntyre C.I. She worked at
a printing shop in Winnipeg as a book binder and type setter for
$0.25/hr.
On April 5th, 1952 Helen married the love of her life, Art
Bayes. She left the city life and running water to become a farmers wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was
a perfect example of a spiritual, loving Mother and homemaker
who enjoyed Sunday family get togethers. She also enjoyed gardening, cooking, baking, preserving, sewing, knitting, ceramics and volunteering. Helen was involved with the Rapid City
Legion Auxiliary for 62 years, Rapid City 4-H Home-Economics
Club as leader for over 20 years, a United Church member and
served many years at the executive level in the UCW.
In 1984, Helen and Art retired from the farm and moved to
Minnedosa. It was here that they took up bowling and would
spend much of their time socializing with friends and family,
playing board games, Scrabble, doing word search, puzzles and
Cribbage. She was very competitive and loved to beat Art, especially the day he dealt her the 29 hand in Crib. Helen also
loved to take day trips and travel. She was proud to say that she
dipped her feet in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, along
with the Gulf of Mexico.
Helen is survived by her loving husband Art of 63 years, son
David (Jane) Bayes, daughters; Iris Kooting, Gwen (Randy)
Usick, Shirley Bayes (Bob), Judy Bayes (Chris), as well as eight
grandchildren; Leigh (Rob) Heie, Rebecca Kooting (Mike), Kim
(Mike) Speiss, Valerie Adam (Nathan), David (Michelle) Kooting, Jason Adam, Louis Bayes (Reed) and Sheila Bayes (Stephen) and ten great grandchildren; Jocelyn Kooting, Wiley and
Bodhi Speiss, Ava and Ole Heie, Mathew, Aaliyah, Quinton and
Colin Starr and Caden Adam . Helen is also survived by her sister Ethel (Vern) Jackson, brother-in-law Cecil Bayes along with
numerous nieces and nephews.
Helen was predeceased by her parents Ora and Vida Wilson,
her sisters and their husbands Muriel and Phil, Gladys and Ed,
Elaine and Harry , brother James, half-sisters Enid and Willard
and Gladys, parents-in-law Harry and Annie Bayes, brother and
sister-in-laws Levi and Mary, Ray and Isabel, Ernie and Doris,
Fred and Florence and Doreen.
Helen courageously fought her diabetes with dignity and
grace, never deviated from her diet. She never complained because she always felt someone was worse off than she was.
The family would like to thank all the staff at the Minnedosa
Personal Care Home, where Helen resided for the last eight
years, for their excellent care and compassion. Also, Art and
family would like to thank Rev. Natasha Pearen for her comforting support and guidance through this most difficult time.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday July 8th, 2015 at 2
p.m. at the Minnedosa United Church with Rev. Natasha Pearen
officiating. Pallbearers were her eight grandchildren. Interment
followed in the Minnedosa Cemetery Legion Section.
Cards and flowers are gratefully declined. Donations may be
made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Minnedosa
Personal Care Home Patio Fund. Minnedosa Funeral Services
was in care of arrangements.

JOHN DEAN GWYER


JUNE 13TH, 1933
JUNE 22ND, 2015
John Dean Gwyer passed into
the presence of Jesus quickly
and peacefully at home in the
R.M. of Minto-Odanah, at the
age of 82. Dean was born in
Swift Current, Saskatchewan
to Alfred Edgar and Edith Emily
(Jacobs) Gwyer, recent immigrants from England. Dean was
the only child born to them in
Canada. He lived in the Burnham
district until he was seven, when the
family moved to the Cordova area in Manitoba to escape the
drought. After completing school, Dean worked on the farm,
and later moved to Winnipeg where he trained and worked as
an electrician. His work extended from northeastern Ontario
well into Saskatchewan. In 1956, he married Grace Esther
(Crook) from Neepawa, and in the spring of 1957 they moved
to the home farm. Dean continued to do electrical work on almost every farm in the area to pay the bills while trying to build
up his farm. He raised a herd of Hereford cattle, all descended
from registered stock, which he was very proud of. In 1997, he
suffered a heart attack, and found it impossible to care for his
cattle - it was a very sad day for him when they left the farm.
Sons John and Michael made it possible for him to continue
farming for a few more years by helping out in any way they
could. Dean joined the Evangelical Covenant Church in 1962,
and served the church and Covenant Heights Bible Camp in
many ways. He considered it a great blessing to have such a
wonderful church family. He served on the R.M. of Odanah
Council for twenty-five years, always trying to do his best in
representing the people in Ward 1. His interest in municipal
work continued until his death.
Dean was predeceased by his son, John, parents Edith and
Alfred, sisters; Mary Siegel, Monica Gordon, and Josephine
Hickey, and brothers; George, Bernard and Gerald Gwyer. He
was also predeceased by son-in-law Blair Bolduc, nephews
Morgan Flay and Bruce Flay, brothers-in-law; Herb Hickey,
Charles Gordon, Meyer Siegel, Dwight Johnson, James Crook,
sisters-in-law Dorothy Crook and Merle (George) Gwyer. He
is survived by his wife Grace, his son Michael, his wife Lorena,
and their children Avani and Connor, his daughter Carolyn
Gwyer, her daughter Brittany Litke, Johns children Colin and
Crystal, and two great-grandchildren, Skyla and Phoenix,
children of Crystal. Also surviving are sisters-in-law; Joyce
Johnson, Merle (Gerald) Gwyer, Betty Lou McKee and her husband Ken McKee, many nieces, nephews and valued friends.
The last few years were a challenge as Diabetes took its toll.
Admissions to hospital helped, and he was able to return home
with Home Care. He was so grateful to all the Home Care girls
who cared for him, and he looked forward to his visits with each
of them. However, in spite of all the help, he continued to decline, and on June 22nd he just could go no further. He said a
number of times that he was ready to die. He knew he would be
with the Lord, and he was not afraid. Therefore, we embrace I
Thessalonians 4:13 where Paul said, Brothers, we do not want
you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like
the rest of men, who have no hope.
A service of thanksgiving and worship was held at The Evangelical Covenant Church of Minnedosa at 2:00 p.m. on Friday,
June 27th, 2015 with Pastor Murray Carter officiating. Mrs. Beth
MacDonald, a friend, neighbour, and sister in the faith gave the
message. Interment was at Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa beside his son John.
Pallbearers were friends and neighbours James Andersen,
Ron Sandstrom, Glenn Friesen, Neil McLaughlin, and nephews
Lawrence Gwyer and Bill Gordon. Minnedosa Funeral Service
was in care of arrangements, and their professionalism and
kindness was greatly appreciated. Ron Hodgson supported the
family with prayer and scripture at the viewing and interment.
Gratitude and thanks go out to all who gave of themselves in
any way, great or small, to be there for our family on this day of
both sadness and joy.
Donations in honour of Deans life may be made to one of
his favourite charities, Operation Smile, to repair a third world
childs cleft palate, at P.O. Box 235 Station Main, Markham ON
L3P 3J7 or online at www.operationsmile.org/canada
To God be the glory!
