First Outdoor Movie Night A Success
By KAREN MITCHELL
T he newest addition to
the Minnedosa Tour-
ism Committee events was
launched on Sunday, June
30th under the stars. The
first of a series of four out-
door movies, Mary Poppins
Returns, was held at the
Minnedosa Beach at dusk
with several attendees
sprawled out on blankets
and lawn chairs to enjoy
the outdoor experience.
Although people came
and went throughout the
movie, it is estimated that
some 200 people attended
the first outdoor movie.

The movies are shown
on an inflatable 20 foot
screen, purchased by the
committee earlier this
year, and the mobile abil-
ity allows the commit-
tee to move the shows
throughout different areas
of Minnedosa throughout
the summer.
Four local community
groups have each agreed to
host a movie night and op-
erate a fundraising canteen
during the events. The first
movie, held at the beach

Husky Service Bay Welcomes New Business
By KAREN MITHELL
P jay’s Automotive Ser-
vice is the newest busi-
ness to open its doors to
Minnedosa. Located at
the Husky Gas Station at
142 Main Street North, the
business offers a complete
automotive diagnostics

Owner Pee Jay Santin
immigrated to Erickson
with his family in 2003,
at the age of 19, with no
knowledge of the English

limited opportunities in
Erickson for Pee Jay he
moved to Brandon and
attended the Western Im-
migrant Centre to learn
English. Working part time
during the day and study-

evening, Pee Jay was de-

Around

Bumpy ride...
There had been some talk about the repav-
ing of Main Street being completed in time for
Fun Fest. Sorry, folks but I don’t think that is
going to happen unless there are some miracle
speedy pavers out there! One more bumpy ride
for the 60-plus registered parade participants –
hopefully the last for many years!
Looks good…
Congratulations to Paul Laliberte on the
fifth anniversary of Liberty Physiotherapy. One
of the ways he is marking the occasion is some
colourful window paint featuring the new Valley
Life logo on his business’s front windows! This
was recently done by local artist, Diane Creber.
Found here at home…
I ran into a bit of a dilemma on the Saturday
of the long weekend and thought I would have to
make a rush trip into Brandon to buy the remedy
I needed. A quick call to our local Home Hard-
ware saved me a trip to the city! Before running
off to Brandon to buy something you assume
you won’t find locally, give your local businesses
a chance – you will most likely be surprised at
how many unique things you can purchase right
here at home. Or, if you are not in a rush, local
businesses can usually special-order things for
their customers. Support the local businesses
that give back to our community – buy local be-
fore its bye local!
Almost time…
Ye Olde Trib staff are counting down the
days to our much needed annual summer va-

then close at 12 noon on Friday, July 19th. There
will be no paper published on July 26th and our
office will return to regular business hours on
Monday, July 29th, just in time to get a paper out
on August 2nd.

A Day I Have Greatly Feared
T oday’s edition of The Tribune is one I have feared for a
long time. Sadly, due to lack of paid advertisments to
cover our printing and postage costs (along with other regu-
lar business expenses), this week’s edition had to be down-
sized to 12 pages. That was not an easy decision for me to
make but as a small business owner, I have to do what is fis-
cally responsible to keep this historic business in operation.
For the past while, we have tried our best to maintain a
minimum of 16 pages, even though many weeks we only had
enough advertisments to warrant a 12 page paper. A number
of other small community newspapers are regularly down
to 12 or even eight page editions and I have feared the day
How Do Some Drivers Have a License?
By DARRYL HOLYK
J une came to a close with many people in our province
grieving loved ones. Within a seven-day period, nine Man-
itobans lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents. Statistics
like those are extremely upsetting but hopefully serve as a
wake-up call for those drivers who maybe a little too careless
on our roadways.
Certainly, there are instances when accidents are un-
avoidable such as when bad weather or wildlife is involved,
for example. On the other hand, anyone who has driven
or been a passenger on our roadways has surely witnessed
some extremely dangerous and downright stupid behaviour
by other motorists. I know I have.
Numerous times in the recent past, I have spotted some
careless driving habits from others that have left me wonder-
ing how these drivers ever earned their license! Some drivers
fly through this world with a “can’t happen to me attitude”
completely oblivious to what they are doing. They ignore
speed limits and no passing lines, don’t wear their seatbelt,
drive while impaired and drive while distracted. It is people
like this who make our roadways dangerous.
I have lost count of the number of times I have had a mo-
torist come flying up behind me on the highway, speed past
me at the first chance they get and are gone out of sight in
no time. Time and time again, I shake my head when I lat-
er catch up to them at a red traffic light or stop sign. In the
end, they got no further ahead than if they had just obeyed
the speed limit. Just last Friday, while delivering papers to
Neepawa, I again came across one of these scenarios. This
time it was a biker who tore past me and another vehicle. To
make matters worse, it was in a no-passing zone with double
solid lines and there was a semi coming from the other direc-
tion. Fortunately, the biker was able to quickly dodge back
into the lane, pretty much cutting off the vehicle in front of

The Minnedosa Tribune
I would see this happen to our grand old Tribune. Today is a
dark day in our paper’s 136 year history.
The Tribune has been hit with a loss in revenue due to
many choosing to advertise on social media or other sources
in place of purchasing an ad in their hometown community
newspaper. By doing so, our faithful readers are missing out.
I hope this small, 12 page edition is only a one-time occur-
ance and that we will again have enough paid advertising for
a 16 page edition next week and in the weeks ahead.
I cannot force individuals, businesses or organizations
to advertise or print with The Minnedosa Tribune, but ask
that if you want to see your hometown community newspa-
per survive, please remember us when planning your adver-
tising or when you require printing. Thank you in advance.
me, before there was a tragic head-on collision. Guess what?
Once I got to Neepawa, I pulled up to the stop light right be-
side this dangerous speeding biker. As he was turning and I
was headed straight through, I was actually able to continue
on my travels before he did so his whole earlier careless race
had really been for nothing.
Maybe it is just me getting older, but it seems there has
been an increase in careless driving in the last few years.
Perhaps it is this fast-paced world we live in today where we
expect everything instantly at our fingertips that people just
have to get where they are going and don’t think they have
time to drive according to the law?
Every time you drive carelessly and disobey the law, you
are putting your life and the lives of others on the road at
risk. Maybe you do not care about your own life, but think
for a moment what your death will mean to your family and
friends left behind. Having lost both a close friend and a fam-
ily member in motor vehicle accidents, I can personally tell
you that the loss is felt by those left behind for the rest of their
lives. It does not simply go away and get forgotten about. Ev-
ery single time I drive by the locations where my uncle and
childhood friend were killed, I think of them and the acci-
dents that took them away from us. I am also reminded how
both of them would still be here with us if not for the poor
decisions by the other drivers who caused their accidents. So
many times, motor vehicle accidents could have been so eas-
ily avoided as human error is often to blame.
Whether you are travelling for pleasure, work or an ap-
pointment, be a smart driver, obey the rules of the road and
also keep an eye on other vehicles around you. You can con-
trol the way you drive but unfortunately, what others around
you do is out of your control. With another busy summer sea-
son upon us with increased traffic on our roadways, be extra
safe a cautions out there.

Rapid City’s Eldest Lady Honoured Ye Old Trib
By KAREN MITCHELL
W ednesday, June 26th
was a huge mile-
stone for one Rapid City
resident. Gladys Simpson
celebrated her 90th birth-
day surrounded by friends
and community members
at the Senior Centre, mak-
ing her the oldest female
resident currently residing
in Rapid City.
Gladys is the only child
of Bill and Alice Coutts and
was born in Regina, SK
during a family visit. Glad-
ys and her family lived in
Waskada, MB until she was
three-and-a-half years old.
It was at that time, the fam-
ily moved to Rapid City.
Her parents owned Coutts
Bakery located on Rapid
City’s Main Street until
1948.
After graduating in
1946, Gladys went to Bran-
don to attend college, re-
ceiving her Arts diploma in
1950 and then on to Busi-
ness College in Winnipeg.

was a key player in getting
children involved in the

eral years ago, and some as
adults are still performing
currently.
Gladys enjoys curl-
ing, golf, knitting, travel-
ing and attending local
entertainment. “I feel very
blessed to have made it to
90 years,” stated Gladys. “I
have good health and good
friends so what more does
a person need.”
“Gladys has been in-
volved in so much of Rapid
City. Whenever there was
a job to be done you could
bet Gladys would be there
to do it,” explained Olive
Walker, longtime friend
and community member.
“She has a huge heart and
is constantly giving. Gladys

was coming from a furnace was what it was in Minnedo-
sa on Friday.

ing allowed to run at large through town after dark. Good
fences do not stop the animals from doing more damage
in a few hours than can be repaired in a year.
1909 – The advantage of the rural telephone and au-
tomobile was demonstrated when a person was taken ill

Great Crowd For Canada Day
By KAREN MITCHELL
and DARRYL HOLYK
T he weather could
not have been more
beautiful for the massive
crowd that gathered at the
Minnedosa Beach for the
array of Canada Day fes-
tivities.
With a huge selection
of events for all ages pro-
vided by the Minnedosa
and District Recreation
Commission. Other at-
tractions such as the lake,
beach and new inflatable
water park drew people
from near and far to enjoy
a fun filled family day in
Minnedosa. The local Can-
ada Day celebration con-
cluded with a spectacular
fireworks show over the
lake, once again set off by
members of the Minnedo-
sa Fire Department.
“It was really awesome
to see so many people in
attendance. Everything
was so well organized and
everyone that was there
was enjoying themselves.
It was just a real nice cel-
ebration,” said Mayor
Pat Skatch. “We had so
The Minnedosa Tribune
many people from other
communities come and
spend their July 1st here
in Minnedosa. It was just a
real wonderful day.”
Throughout the day,
the parking lot at the beach
was overflowing with ve-
hicles parked outside the
festivity grounds along the
Beach Road, right back to
the Bison Park.
July 1st is the national
day of Canada. A federal
statutory holiday, celebrat-
ing the anniversary of July
1st, 1867, the effective
date of the Constitution
Act, 1867 (then called the
British North America Act,
1867), which united the
three separate colonies of
the Province of Canada,
Nova Scotia, and New
Brunswick into a single
Dominion within the Brit-
ish Empire called Canada.
Originally called Domin-
ion Day, the holiday was
renamed Canada Day in
1982, the year the Canada
Act was passed.
A huge bouquet to all
those involved in the plan-
ning, set up and volunteer-
ing throughout the day.
Minnedosa’s Canada Day
celebration is something
the community should be
extremely proud of.
