“Being the president of the

I get to work alongside a

that not only share a pas-
sion for snowmobiling but
really care about the future
of snowmobiling and our

together even during the
summer to have a BBQ or

Hawks are grateful to all
of the property owners
in town and surrounding
area who let them travel on
their land during the snow-
mobiling season. Without
these landowners, having
a club like this would be
next to impossible.

the valley’s scenery.

Town Introduces Outstanding
Tipping Fee Policy
By DARRYL HOLYK
T he Town of Minnedo-
sa has introduced a
policy to better deal with
outstanding tipping fees
for contractors using Ev-

Technologies.
The policy comes as
a result of numerous out-
standing invoices regard-
ing unpaid tipping fees
which have become time
consuming for Town ad-
ministration. The policy
has been developed to pro-
vide a standardized and
documented procedure to
better deal with this issue.
The policy states that
the Town will send month-
ly statements to the con-
tractor which will be due in
14 days with added interest
to outstanding amounts. If

Grand Opening…
As you will see from the ad elsewhere in today’s
edition, Minnedosa’s newest business, Boho Soul
Market, is opening its doors tomorrow, Saturday, Feb-
ruary 16th. Watch for a feature story on this unique
business in a future edition of The Tribune. Congratu-
lations Magen on your new venture and welcome to
the downtown Minnedosa business district!
Long weekend at the lake…
The first long weekend of the new year is here!
Known as Family Day in most Canadian locations
and Louis Riel Day here in Manitoba, Monday, Feb-
ruary 18th will be a holiday with schools and numer-
ous businesses, including The Tribune office, being
closed. Of course, here in Minnedosa, the Louis Riel
long weekend means athletic action on the lake as
Skate the Lake and Rock the Lake return for two full
days of outdoor hockey and curling! Although we have
suffered through some extreme cold recently, weather
forecasters are calling for a decent weekend for Skate
the Lake with predicted temperatures in the -16, -17
range. Be sure to head out to the lake and take in a little
bit of the action this weekend – it only happens once
a year so show your support for the players and hard-
working volunteers who do such a great job of hosting
this valuable fundraising weekend which has given so
much back to our community over the years!
Salute to hockey…
While on the topic of hockey, The Tribune is cur-
rently working on compiling our annual Salute to Local
Hockey featuring local hockey team photos. Any busi-
nesses who wish to show their support for local hockey
with a congratulations ad in this special section can con-
tact Heather at 204-867-3816 or adsales@minnedosatri
bune.com As we are waiting for a few team pictures,
we do not have a firm date for our special hockey sec-
tion yet, but the earliest it could be out may be Friday,
March 1st.

My English Teachers Would Cringe
By DARRYL HOLYK
I n the newspaper industry, we are always held to task
about our writing abilities, spelling, grammar, etc.
and for good reason. From time to time we do make
a slip-up and the dreaded spelling mistake or missing
word in a sentence slip by our proofreading measures
and ends up in print. I can tell you from my personal
experience – NO ONE is more horrified and embar-
rassed about those errors than the newspaper owner.
When those mistakes happen, I remind myself that we
are only human, we are not perfect, we are not Eng-
lish scholars, we try our best and mistakes do happen.
While it may be a big deal at first, down the road, in the
long run, it’s really not going to be a life-changing in-
cident which is going to leave any permanent damage.
Some of our eagle-eyed readers like to point out
our mistakes to us, and that is fine. I personally take
it as a bit of a compliment as it shows that they are
reading our product very carefully. Afterall, that is the
whole point of a printed product – to be read! I do,
however wonder, why such mistakes seem to be ac-
ceptable online and on social media. I very seldom
see anyone correcting spelling mistakes, lack of use of
capital letters or punctuation, misuse of grammar and
the reporting of false information on social media.
Here are just a few examples of the poor quality of
writing I have noticed on social media: “I will go there
too-morrow”, “I seen you at the store yesterday”, “i just
had to say good buy to my dog”, “We are starting rener-
vations on our house” and “I’m not sure which desine
I like best”. I am assuming the mistakes are obvious to
our readers so I am not going to point them out.
February is I Love to Read Month and this is the
perfect time to promote not only reading, but writing,
spelling and grammar. Did you know that there are
young people right here in our own community who
are unable to read handwriting? Isn’t that frightening?
I was shocked to learn from some local parents that
their junior high or high school aged children could
not read or write cursive handwriting – only printing.

The days of learning cursive handwriting seem to have
become a thing of the past. I cannot see how this can
be a good thing or an improvement for society.
We are living in a world where quick, instant mes-
saging through our phones is replacing the written
word. For those who are not familiar with social media
or texting, they may think that people are using some
strange foreign language if they happen to glance over
at such a conversation. Here are just a few common
abbreviations that I am sure some of my former Eng-
lish teachers must absolutely cringe at… brb, ttyl, lol
and wyd. Do you know what those mean? For those
who don’t, brb is “be right back”, ttyl is “talk to you lat-
er”, lol is “laugh out loud” and wyd is “what you doing”
which really should be wayd for the proper “what are
you doing”. Yes, this has become our modern way of
communicating, sad isn’t it?
Here, at the newspaper, we regularly see the non-
Canadian spelling of some words in submissions and
try to correct them if and when we catch them. Some
common examples are favourite vs. favorite, colour
vs. color or rumour vs. rumor. Both spellings are cor-
rect depending where you live. A few years ago, I was
at an elementary school in a nearby community and
was viewing the work of young students, probably at
the Grade One level, posted on the wall. I was shocked
and concerned with what I saw. Each student had
been given a pre-printed page that read, “My Favor-
ite Color is…” Here we are in a Canadian elementary
school using a printout that has the non-Canadian
spelling for “favourite” and “colour” to teach our stu-
dents. Our English language can be confusing enough
to learn without adding the insult of non-Canadian
spelling as part of our Canadian classrooms!
There are a lot of things about the future and fu-
ture generations that worry me and reading and writ-
ing are just the tip of the iceberg! Hopefully these
taught skills, along with many others, will take a turn
for the better but sadly, I have my doubts. Happy I
Love to Read Month!

held in December, the
Little Saskatchewan River
Conservation District rec-
ognized Popp Farms Ltd.
with the LSRCD Conserva-
tion Award.
John and Adele Popp
established Popp Farms
Ltd. in 1998. Together with
their children, Viktor and
Hanna, the family has con-
tinued the farm operation
started by John’s parents in
1983. This beef operation is
located in the Municipality
of Clanwilliam-Erickson
within the Little Saskatch-
ewan River Watershed. The
rolling landscape is used
to grow forages and the
bush, which is characteris-
tic of the boreal transition
ecoregion, provides natu-
ral shelter for the cattle
herd.
The operation of the
farm is the management of
the grass, feed, water, soil,
and the cattle. John and
Adele recognize the value
in knowing the land and
using an adaptive man-
agement philosophy. The
results experienced on the
farm are not by accident
but are a product of how
each resource is managed.
John and Adele use the
mantra of think different,
think fresh.
Rotational grazing is
used in the management of
the grass. An off-site water-
ing system pumps water to
the animals. Water sources
are wetlands, small lakes,
and a man-made pond.
The man-made pond was
created when a small dam
was built in a waterway.

Both John and Adele
bring an interest in science
to the management of the
farm. Adele has broadened
her knowledge of soil biol-
ogy. Through the course,
she learned how to build
and use compost to reju-
venate the soil by adding
back to the soil what it is
missing. She has applied
the information learned
and set-up different com-
post mixes to make the
compost required to real-

expertise in economics is
employed in feed manage-

the cost of bale grazing as

first Canadian astronaut
on the NASA space shuttle
Challenger.
Dignity of the Flag; the
flag should be displayed
only in a manner appro-
priate for this important
national symbol, it should
not be subjected to dis-
honor or displayed in a po-
sition inferior to any other
flag or ensign. Whether
the flag be cloth, paper or
made of some other fabric
or material should never;
be used as a table cloth
or seat cover, used for any
decoration, be used to
cover a statue/monument
or plaque for an unveiling
ceremony, have anything
pinned to or sewn onto it,
be signed or marked in any
way, be used as wearing
apparel, touch the ground
or be stepped on.
Displaying the Flag;
the flag is flown at all fed-
eral government buildings,
airports, as well as mili-
tary bases. The flag may
be displayed flat against a
surface (if hung horizon-
tally the upper part of the
leaf should be up and the
stern down, if hung verti-
cally the upper part of the
leaf points to the left and
the stem to the right from
the point of view of the
observer facing the flag),
on a flagpole or mast (the
top left quarter or canton
should be placed in the
vertically in the middle of a
street (the upper part of the
leaf should face north in an
east-west street), projected
from a building (displayed
horizontally or at an angle
from a window or balcony,
the canton must point out-
wards), affixed on a motor
vehicle(affixed firmly on a
pole to the frame of the car
on the front right side) and
on ships and boats.
Half-masting for
mourning; the flag is
brought to the half-mast
position by first raising it
to the top of the mast then
immediately lowering it
slowly to the half-mast po-
sition as a sign of mourn-
ing. All flags that are flown
together should also be
flown at half-mast.
Disposal of the Flag;
when a flag becomes tat-
it should be destroyed in
a dignified way. A flag is
considered to be tattered
or worn when the color
fades, it has developed
a hole or the outermost
seam has become frayed.
You can dispose of tattered
flags by returning it to par-
ticipating retail stores who
will dispose of them, burn
them in a dignified man-
ner –privately without
ceremony or public atten-
tion being drawn to the
destruction, tear into strips
with each element of the
flag reduced to a single co-
lour so the remaining piec-
es do not resemble a flag,
place in a bag for disposal.

Nicholls Continues Disaster Relief Work
By KAREN MITCHELL
M innedosa resident,
Brian Nicholls, re-
cently returned home from
his second trip in a year to
assist with hurricane relief.
On January 13th,
Nicholls went on a Samari-
tan’s Purse Disaster Re-
lief mission to the Florida
Panhandle area that was
devastated by Hurricane
Michael. “It was an op-
portunity for me to help
people who where in need
where I felt that I could
contribute.  We see hor-
rific images of natural di-
sasters on television, but
often there is little we can
do,” explained Nicholls.  In
April of 2018, he also spent
a week in Pearland, Texas
to clean-up after Hurri-
cane Harvey.
Flying out of Winni-
peg and landing in Pana-
ma City, Florida,  Nicholls
spent a total of 12 days in
and around Wewahitchka,
Florida. “A member of the
Canadian team of Samari-
tan’s Purse picked me up
at the airport and we drove
approximately 40 miles to
the base camp at the First
Baptist Church in Wewa-
hitchka, which is located
about 30 miles inland from
the Gulf of Mexico,”  said
Brian.
Female volunteers had
sleeping quarters in the
Sunday School rooms in-
side the local Church and
the male volunteers slept
outside in Alaskan tents
that held a dozen people
per tent. Meals and gath-
erings were held in a large
hall inside the church.
Air mattresses were pro-
vided, however volunteers
needed to bring their own
sleeping bags.  experiences and often a
“It was very well orga-
nized and a tight schedule
was followed each day,”
explained Nicholls. “We
got up between 5:00 and
6:00 a.m., had breakfast at
6:30, packed a bag lunch

and prepared to meet at
our team’s vehicles by 7:45. 
Our team leaders had U-
hauls full of all the tools
we would need for the day,
and each team packed
into a van for transporta-
tion to the work site.  After
working all day, we were
brought back to shower
and get ready for supper at
6:30 p.m.  Supper was fol-
lowed by sharing the day’s

Paint Night in Support of Local Bowlers

By KAREN MITCHELL

F our Minnedosa youth bowlers are in the midst of

fundraising to attend the Nationals Tournament in
Ottawa on March 27th. The five-day tournament will
have the participants bowling against teams from all
across Canada. The local bowlers include Justine Hay-
wood, Curtis Madden, Kody Calen and Kadence Mad-
den. Debbie Tarn of Minnedosa Bowling Alley, will travel
with the team as their coach and two other bowlers will
accompany them from Killarney and Carberry.
Each bowler is responsible for raising their own ex-
penses of approximately $800, which is why the four lo-
cal youth are busy fundraising. Last Friday, February 8th,
48 people gathered in the Masonic Hall to take part in a
paint class hosted by Shane Robbins of Onanole. The fi-
nal fundraiser for the team, a pancake breakfast, will take
place on March 17th at the Minnedosa Curling Complex.
While travelling and attending the tournament, the
teams are expected to wear team apparel at all times.
Minnedosa Bowling Alley has sponsored team shirts and
United Steel Workers has sponsored the team jackets,
therefore the youth will be decked out in their black and
yellow threads looking very sharp. Photo by Karen Mitchell

I Love to Read Month

By KAREN MITCHELL off on an epic adventure of of learning how to com- and don’t criticize their ideas to turn television discuss bullying and the

I f you enjoy curling up

under a blanket with
a good book during this
colder weather, then Feb-
ruary is the month for you!
An entire 28 days dedi-
cated to reading, writing
and sharing in the joy of
literacy.
With Christmas and
New Years behind us and
Spring still a little ways
away, what a better time to
continue, regain or spark
the passion of reading
within yourself. Between
the cover of each book is
an opportunity to teach
yourself a new skill, re-
search past history or sail
your passion or interest,
there is sure to be a book
for you.
What is Literacy? Ac-
cording to the Manitoba
Reading Association, “Lit-
eracy is the ability to com-
municate thoughts, ideas,
needs and feelings. We
do this by reading, writ-
ing, speaking, listening,
viewing, representing and
thinking. Literacy also
helps us to solve problems.
Literacy is part of what we
do every day in our lives.
We use literacy at home, in
stores and restaurants, in
our work and in all school
subjects. It is a process
ways.” From the time we
are infants, literacy begins
and carries on with you
throughout your lives.
Some ideas to get your
toddlers to love literacy
include; singing songs,
reading aloud every day,
play and act out nursery
rhymes, ask questions they
can answer, practice print-
ing, write simple short
stories together and visit
the community library to-
gether, making it a fun and
anticipated adventure.
For school age chil-
dren; let your child choose
their books and interests,
talk about what they like
book they might be inter-
ested in, model reading for
them – the more they see
your passion for reading
the more likely they will
model that, read or write
together, find a compelling
series, give books as gifts,
have meaningful discus-
sions about their books –
what do they like, not like,
what makes it interesting,
favourite characters and
why, etc.
Concerns shared by
parents alike in today’s
environment are the over-
powering presence of
television and internet in
our children’s lives. Some
experience include; talk
about event and charac-
ters in shows and videos- is
