One of the club’s most successful fundraisers, its annual Book Sale, kicked off this week at the 50+ Centre.
As in years past, eager readers browsed the stacks of donated books in search of their own literary treasure to take home
and enjoy. If you have not yet had a chance to drop in for some book shopping, the Minnedosa Rotary Club’s Book
Sale continues today and will wrap up tomorrow (Saturday, March 16th).

Happy Birthday to us…
With today’s edition, The Minnedosa Tribune
marks its 136th anniversary, making it not only
Minnedosa’s oldest business but also the oldest
weekly newspaper west of Ontario. The first edition
of The Tribune rolled off the presses in March 1883
under the watchful eye of our founder, William Gib-
bens. With the continued support of our advertisers,
subscribers and print customers, we hope to contin-
ue covering local happenings and supporting com-
munity events through sponsorships and donations
for many years to come!
Off to a good start…
Recently opened Boho Soul Market in Minnedo-
sa was recently listed as number one in Travel Mani-
toba’s 11 Yummy Places to Eat and Drink this Spring.
The list was made by Breanne Sewards, a content
specialist for Travel Manitoba. Other communities
which feature businesses on the list include Hecla,
Grunthal, Morden, Gretna and Winnipeg.
Heritage numbers…
Canadian Heritage recently released the latest
stats for heritage institutions including museums,
archives, historic sites, zoos, botanical gardens and
art galleries. The Heritage workforce is a $2.53 bil-
lion entity in Canada with 36,323 paid workers and
115,650 volunteers who have given 6.6 million vol-
unteer hours! Heritage remains a very valuable and

“I Don’t Want Any Eggs!”
Editor’s Note: This week’s Viewpoint comes from our
regular food columnist, Chef Dez. This week’s article is a
little different but struck a chord with me. His column be-
low is something I could have written myself as my own
viewpoint, as it is something I can personally relate to
and something I think many people can relate to. We all
need to be aware of what we say to others and how we say
it… sometimes our comments and tone can come off as
extremely rude, ignorant and/or demanding. Sometimes
we mean it that way and other times we are just misun-
derstood for whatever reason. Wouldn’t it be great if ev-
eryone could just treat one other with some respect and
understanding?
By CHEF DEZ
E verything we do is a choice. From the moment we
awake in the morning until the time we come to
the day’s end: we choose everything we do and the
way we react to every situation. Obviously in  some
situations  it is  easier to control our actions more  than
in  others, but they are all still the  choices we make.
One morning while traveling for business, I was en-
joying a lovely breakfast at a hotel restaurant - no, not
a substandard, run-of-the-mill, free motel-type break-
fast buffet of cold cereals and toast. This was  a dining
room setting in a restaurant at a historic mansion trans-
formed into a heritage house hotel; a very pleasing at-
mosphere.  Included with your stay each morning you
were treated to  a choice of three breakfast entrées in
their restaurant. I chose the “classic” breakfast of eggs
(prepared any way you  like), hash browns, sausages or
bacon, and toast with an array of preserves to choose
from. As I was alternating between tastes of my break-
fast with sips of coffee and glances at the morning news-
paper, an older couple were seated at the table next to
me. They seemed cheerful enough  as they exchanged
morning pleasantries with each other. After being seat-
ed by the hostess, their server came to take their orders.
“I’ll have the classic breakfast,” the woman said.
“How would you like your eggs done?” asked the server.
“I don’t want any eggs!” she sharply replied. This
caught my attention. The pleasurable ambiance bub-
ble had popped. She was  very  stern with her reply.
“Oh, okay,” he responded, “sausages or bacon?”
and he continued with taking her order before
proceeding with doing the same for her partner.
I thought to myself: What had just happened there? She
seemed amiable enough prior to that, and the conver-
sation with her partner afterwards seemed very cordial.
Was she having a bad morning? It didn’t seem like  she
was otherwise.
As I continued with my breakfast I couldn’t

stop thinking about how abrupt and coarse she
responded to the server. The exchanges be-
tween her and the server afterwards were accept-
able: nothing overly friendly, but not rude either.
Maybe I’m overreacting? I replayed the incident in my
mind. No, not at all - her demeanor was very abrupt and
almost demanding in that exchange. Maybe she didn’t re-
alize? We all have those moments I guess, when we react
to a situation and then in hindsight, we realize the error
of our ways. If she was feeling any regret however, there
was no inkling of it to anyone else. Maybe she was embar-
rassed with her response and just wanted to forget about it.
I’m sorry if I am being oversensitive about this... I mean,
it was just one sentence... just one brief interaction that
didn’t even involve me. Maybe I am overanalyzing this?
Just like we have the free will to make choices in what
we do and how we act, we can also choose to learn and
grow. The interaction I witnessed, and this correspond-
ing column entry, is not meant to be judgmental. It’s not
meant to single out and prosecute anyone. I am merely
using this as a reminder to myself to be aware of my dis-
position when interacting with others, and if this seems
of value, then I am offering it to you as well. We are all
on this journey together. I believe that we should travel
through these lifetimes with our eyes wide open; not only
embracing the encounters we have with others, but also
making sure that we seize any opportunity we can to lead
a full and selfless life. Only good can come from making
someone smile... there is no harm to us for doing so... it
doesn’t cost us anything of monetary value... and it will
only spread love and joy.
We all make mistakes. I know I have made my share
of them. Sometimes I get carried away with the way I act
and at the moment it is hard for me to see how my actions
are perhaps affecting someone else. But it is in our aware-
ness of these blunders that we can overcome and help to
reverse any negativity we may have unintentionally cre-
ated in the first place. Apologies and kindness are worth
their weight in gold.
Everything happens for a reason. I am a sensitive guy,
and my emotions and my internal analytical processes of
my ways of thinking get the best of me sometimes; I get
that. However, there is an opportunity to learn and grow
in every situation, and I try my best to do that.  I hope
that  the server did not let  this affect him in a negative
way, and I hope that woman went on to have a wonderful
day. I also hope that my awareness of little inconspicu-
ous things in the future continues to allow me to generate
positive observations and outcomes.
Do me a favour: make someone smile today... heck,
make 10 people smile today! What have you got to lose?
In the meantime, Happy Living, and of course Happy
Cooking!

Budget 2019: Promise Made, Promise Kept
Under The Dome
By
GREG NESBITT
Riding Mountain MLA
I am proud to be a mem-
ber of a government that
keeps its promises.
Prior to the 2016
election, the Progressive
Conservative party told
Manitoba residents that, if
elected, it would roll back
the Provincial Sales Tax
(PST) to seven per cent be-
fore the end of its first term
in office.
Budget 2019 delivered
on that promise with the
announcement that the
PST will drop by one per-
centage point to seven per
cent on July 1st of this year.
It is significant that the
reduction will happen on
July 1st, as that is the date
in 2013 that the previous
NDP government raised
the tax to eight per cent
after promising during the
2011 election they would
not raise the PST. The in-
crease came on the heels
of the NDP deciding to add
the PST to more goods and
services, including home
insurance.
This PST cut will save
Manitobans an estimated
$237 million in the nine
months of the 2019-20
budget year, and $325 mil-
lion over a full one-year
period.
This is the largest tax
cut in Manitoba history,
and will benefit families,
businesses and local gov-
ernments.
A single individual is
expected to save $180 per
year, while a family of four
will save approximately
$500. This is more money
on your kitchen table that
you can make the choice
on where to spend – not
the government.

chases. This reduction
will save them over $130
million annually. It is esti-
mated that up to half of the
business savings will be
passed on to consumers,
which will benefit the av-
erage family of four by an
additional $170 per year.
Municipalities, school
divisions, post-second-
ary institutions, Regional
Health Authorities and
other government agen-
cies are expected to save
a total of $90 million with
the reduced PST. These
savings will help local gov-
ernments and school divi-
sions balance their bud-
gets without raising taxes
on Manitobans.
The basic personal ex-
emption will be increased,
and tax brackets indexed,
saving Manitobans $36
million in 2019-20. Almost
8,000 people will be re-
moved from the tax rolls
with the higher basic per-
sonal exemption.
Budget 2019 is fore-
casting a deficit of $360
million, which is $161 mil-
lion less than was forecast
in Budget 2018.
After inheriting a defi-
cit of $932 million when
we took office, our gov-
ernment has reduced the
deficit each and every year
due to prudent fiscal man-
agement and shopping
smarter. Left unchecked,
and without the promises
the NDP made during the
last election campaign, the
deficit was forecast to rise
to $1.7 billion in the 2019-
20 budget year.
Cutting the PST and
reducing the deficit is hap-
pening at the same time as
our government is mak-
ing record expenditures
Friday, March 15, 2019
in health, education and
families.
Health spending will
increase by $118 million
this year to $6.19 billion,
which is $500 million more
than the NDP spent in
their last year in office. The
myth of cuts to health care
being spread by unions
and the NDP is just that.
More money is being spent
on health care, and a job is
available for every nurse
who wants one.
However, we are not
just spending more, but
getting better results, with
lower wait times to see
a doctor in emergency
rooms. As well, the total
number of nurses and doc-
tors working in Manitoba
has increased year over
year.
The fee to call an am-
bulance is reduced to $250
in Budget 2019. To put this
in perspective, when we
formed government the
basic fee to call an ambu-
lance was $522, and we
have lowered it three times
since we were elected.
As part of our plan for
residents to access Better
Care Sooner, the budget
provides for the hiring of
35 additional full-time pri-
mary care paramedics, as
well as setting aside fund-
ing to purchase 65 new
ambulances.
Primary and second-
ary school funding will in-
crease by $6.6 million. As
well, capital funding will
be increased by $56 mil-
lion to support structural
repairs, roof replacements,
new mechanical systems
and accessibility projects
in schools across the prov-
ince.
Funding of $1.4 mil-
lion has been earmarked
for operating support for
an additional 496 child

Budget 2019 is a very
detailed document and
I encourage you to go to
manitoba.ca/budget2019
to read the details for each
department of govern-
ment.
Here are a few more
highlights that will directly
benefit residents of the
Riding Mountain constitu-
ency:
• The Young Farmer
Rebate Program, which is
intended to help address
the rising costs of starting a
farm operation, will be en-
hanced with a 32 per cent
increase in funding to $2
million.
• Municipalities will
continue to receive en-
hanced basket funding,
which allows councils to
decide where the money
they receive is best spent.
As well, $10 million has
been allocated for mu-
nicipal bridges and roads –
something municipalities
had been calling for.
• Budget 2019 calls
for spending of more
than $1 billion on strate-
gic infrastructure such as
roads and bridges, water
and wastewater projects,
flood protection, hospi-
tals, schools, universities
and colleges. Of this, $350
million is earmarked for
highways projects, includ-
ing the reconstruction and
paving of Highway #21
south of Shoal Lake. A fur-
ther $45 million has been
allocated for highways and
roads during Manitoba’s
150th birthday in 2020.
Prior to being elected
our PC Team promised to
fix the finances, repair the
services and rebuild the
economy of Manitoba.

Reena’s Tips and Helpful Hints

Dear Reena,
The inside walls of
my toaster oven are alu-
minum; how do I clean
them? I’ve tried S.O.S pads
with no success. Fern
Dear Fern,
Clean the interior
walls of a toaster oven with
a mixture of 50/50 vinegar,
baking soda and a green
scrubby pad. A combina-
tion of the two creates a
powerful cleaner. If the
baking soda is not strong
enough, use washing soda.
Rinse with white vinegar.
Hi Reena,
Several years ago, I
purchased a lovely silver
earring and necklace set
in Asia. Both have now be-
come quite tarnished. The
person at the jewelry said
I would have to have them
re-plated at a cost that was
considerably more than
what I paid for them. Is
there any other way that I
can get rid of the tarnish?

Dear Ruth,

num foil in a baking pan.

minutes. and polish.
Dear Reena,
I’m sure that I read
something in a past col-
umn of yours regarding
painting basement floors.
Ours is cement, and the
finish used was recom-
mended by our local
building supply dealer and
applied according to direc-
tions. It does not seem to
be working, and the paint
is coming off in patches.
I believe the problem is
dampness coming from
underneath. Holly
Dear Holly,
This is a common
problem in basements
that were not been sealed
before painting. Consider
sanding off the peeling
paint and then applying
a sealing product such as
Aqua Seal before applying
the proper paint. Follow-
ing that, talk to your local
hardware store about the
best epoxy paint to use on
the floor.
Dear Reena,
You published a shampoo or dish soap,
household recipe for
cleaning windows and
glass. Unfortunately, I’ve
misplaced the article.
Would you be so kind as
to let me know what the
ingredients are as I have
some glass tables and
doors that I would like to
clean. Benjamin

By KAREN MITCHELL
W hen a tragedy occurs,
it is everyone’s hope
that life saving measures
occur as quickly as possi-
ble. From first responders,
ambulance attendants,
hospital staff, etc. multiple
people work together as
a team to ensure the best
care possible for their pa-
tients. STARS air ambu-
lance is another extremely
important member of
that team and ensure they
consistently are providing
the safest care they can to
those in need.
Chad Saxon, Commu-
nications Lead for Mani-
toba STARS, explained, in
detail, the process within
the system when an acci-
dent occurs.
“In Manitoba STARS is
dispatched by the Medical
Transportation Coordina-
tion Centre (MTCC), which
is located in Brandon. Dur-
ing a call they also provide
coordination between our
helicopter, transport phy-
sician and first responders
at the scene or in the case
of an inter-facility transfer,
the hospital. When MTCC
receives a call which
STARS may be dispatched
to, we get a pre-alert which
triggers an alarm at our
base, similar to what you’d
hear at a fire department.
MTCC dispatchers will
then contact our pilots by

radio and give them pre-
liminary information on
the call. For example, they
will say STAR 7, we have a
scene call to atlas key map
43, can you accept the mis-
sion? Our dispatch map is
broken into 111 grids. Grid
43, which I referenced, is
where Minnedosa is locat-
ed.
At this point our pilots
will do a weather check to
ensure that they can get to
the site of the emergency
and the return destination
safely. They are not told
any further details about
the call prior to accept-
ing the mission so that the
decision is based solely
on safety, not the severity
of the emergency. To en-
sure the greatest level of
safety on each STARS mis-
sion, two pilots - a captain
and a first officer - are re-
quired to fly the helicopter.
On any given mission one
pilot will be in charge of
flying while the other will
serve as the safety pilot.
Among the many duties
of the safety pilot they en-
sure that no one acciden-
tally walks in the rear ro-
tor. They also handle the
weather checks.
Once they accept the
mission, MTCC will either
dispatch them immediate-
ly or put them on standby.

ations such as a rollover,

When they are placed on

to there not being a perma-
nent helipad located at the
Minnedosa hospital. This
current landing location
currently adds an addition
twenty to thirty minutes to
a call as ambulance atten-
dants need to transport the
patient to the air ambu-
lance location. Preliminary
discussions around what it
would take to install a per-
manent helipad at the hos-
pital did occur during the
council meeting.
Saxton explained,
“Helipads are built under
the leadership of Mani-
toba Health, regulated by
Transport Canada and
used by STARS, however
we are not involved in the
fundraising or mainte-
nance. Typically, the funds
are raised by the local hos-
pital foundations or local
municipalities. We are able
to land on grass. However,
a decision was made that
we would land at the local
airport until a permanent
solution was reached.”
Penny Gilson, CEO,
Prairie Mountain Health,
reported “Regardless of
where STARS lands, Prairie
Mountain Health (PMH)
is grateful that PMH resi-
dents have access to this
service within our region. 
Currently, there are no
permanent STARS land-
ing zones or helipads at
any PMH facilities.  They
are all temporary land-
ing zones - some grass on
PMH property, others at
airports or other locations,
as is the case in Minnedo-
sa.  All landing zones need
to meet Transport Canada
requirements.  There are
no immediate plans for the
establishment of perma-
nent STARS landing zones
at any PMH facilities.
Statistics show that
since 2011 there have
been 32 STARS air ambu-
lance calls to Minnedosa.
Of those 32 calls, 27 have
been within the last four
years. (Note that not all of
the Minnedosa calls are
for immediate Minnedosa
residents, this includes
surrounding area as well.)
