Local celebrities from Heritage Co-op, RBC Royal Bank and

Minnedosa Credit Union served a nutritious breakfast to TCS students as part of the
Manitoba Breakfast Program through Agriculture in the Classroom.

amily, friends and fans of Dean Gunnarson are gearing up for the premiere of his daring new reality show,
Escape or Die!, which will air on Rogers Broadcastings
OLN channel starting Tuesday, April 14th.
Gunnarson, who is hailed as the worlds most daring escape artist, has strong family ties to the Onanole
area. His father, Garry was born on the Gunnarson family
homestead and when not travelling the world performing dangerous stunts, Dean still calls the area home. Each
episode of his thrilling new half-hour series begins at his
home at Onanole.
The show will give viewers an inside look at the crazy
and unique life of Dean Gunnarson. Each episode will
focus on an actual new stunt that he will perform in exotic and unusual locations around the globe. You will
see Dean and his trusted team preparing for dangerous,
nail-biting escapes that threaten his life. Taking on acts
more dangerous than his idol, the great Harry Houdini,
Dean looks death in the eye on a regular basis. Throughout his life, Gunnarson has cheated death time and time
again. In 1983, Dean asphyxiated while handcuffed and
chained inside a submerged coffi n in the icy waters of
Winnipegs Red River. Fortunately, this was not the end
for the young performer and paramedics were successful
in resuscitating the escape artist.
