A Distinguished
Gentleman

ast week I had the pleasure of meeting a truly distinguished gentleman. A well-liked member of our local farming community, Richard Lemoing, was recently
honoured with a top award in Winnipeg during Co-op
Week.
On Th ursday, October 15th at the Norwood Hotel,
Mr Lemoing was awarded the Distinguished Co-operator Award. This award recognizes and honours Manitobans who have made significant contributions to the
development and success of the co-operative movement
through long, varied and meritorious services in volunteer, elected or employed positions within co-operatives
and credit unions.
Richard has had a long engagement with co-operatives which began with his farming career. He was raised
on a farm in south central Manitoba, attended University
in Winnipeg and began his first career as a school teacher. But after eight years of teaching, his farming roots
pulled him back to the fields.
Moving to a farm near Minnedosa Richard quickly
became involved in the local Pool Elevator committee.
He was elected as a delegate for the district in the Manitoba Pool Elevator democratic structure and that became
a 15 year engagement. He served as a member of a number of committees and chaired annual and special meetings of the company for a number of years.

f you have passed by the spillway in the last week


or so you may have noticed some interesting activity in the water. Bubbles rush to the surface of
the water in all directions as divers work to move
three large submerged anchors.
Each anchor weighs approximately 46,000
pounds on land, but only 27,000 pounds when displaced by water. The immense anchors are used to
secure large safety buoys in an effort to keep everyone a safe distance from the current of the dam and
protect our fish ladder. Colin Bloor of Dominion
Divers said the anchors were originally placed in
too shallow of water, so now they are attempting to
relocate them further out. The divers must attach
multiple cables to the submerged cement anchors
and secure the other end to lift bags, which are
continually being inflated with a large compressor.
Each lift bag can safely float approximately 4,000
pounds, so the divers must connect eight bags to
each of these massive cement blocks. Who knows
what else they might stir up in the dark depths of
MinnedosaLake!

peaking with Lisa Buchanan,


Minnedosa
and District Recreation
Director, last weekends
Sports Dinner was a tremendous success and she
is glad for switching it from
a spring event to a fall event

this year. Late October


seems to be when most
people in our farming community finally have some
time to relax and socialize.
This years guest speaker,
Bret Hart attracted fans
from all over the prairies,
including some diehard
wrestling fans that travelled

from as far away as Melville,


SK.
Minnedosas
Community Centre was jampacked shoulder to shoulder as people mingled and
bid on the many silent auction items donated by local
businesses, while others
lined up to get photos and
autographs with the Hitman before settling in their
seats. The evenings emcees Trent Bartley and RJ
Lilley from 880 CKLQ, kick
started the event and tried
their best to control the
mad rush for the delicious
food line catered by Burnside BBQ. Many volunteers
from the Erickson 4-H Beef
Club made sure the tables
were kept clear throughout
the evening. The second
annual live NHL Hat Auc-

tion energized the room


with exciting bidding wars.
Many hats went for over
$200. The Treasure Chest
Draw pitted pirate against
pirate until only a few keys
were left.
Fred Sharpe and Frank
Taylor kept the crowd in
control while the festivities
took place. Lisa took a moment to thank Fred for his
many years on the Recreation Board. This is Freds
last year on the board after 13 years as Recreation
Board President. Fred had
some excellent advice for
coaches make sure the
kids have fun at practice so
they keep coming back.
With
a
heartfelt
speech, Steven Smith
nominated Craig Cameron
for Sportsman of the Year.
Craigs genuine concern
and appreciation of others ideas, his listening and
communications skills, as
well as being an excellent
athlete himself, combined
to make him an excellent
coach for close to 30 years.
His love for our community
and sports in general, made
Craig Cameron the perfect recipient for this years
prestigious award. Watch
for a full story on Craig next
week.
The main event started with the popular chant
The Best There Is, The
Best There Was, and The
Best There Ever Will Be!
Taking the stage next, Bret
Hitman Hart captivated
the audience with tales of
his interesting life. With

humorous stories of growing up in a wrestling family


and life on the road with
a bunch of wrestlers, the
audience was in tears with
laughter. Bret also spoke
of the dark times in his life
dealing with family tragedies and suffering from
a Stroke in 2002. From a
WWF World Heavyweight
Champion to being told
he would be lucky to walk
again, Brets words conveyed feelings that resonated with everyone. Through
incredible determination
and perseverance Bret was
rehabilitated and won his
greatest battle. He is now
an official spokesperson

for the March of Dimes


Canada Stroke Recovery
Program and has written a
successful autobiography.
Brets inspirational speech
brought the entire audience to a standing ovation.
The event raised close
to $10,000, which will go
back into our community
in the form of grants to
support ongoing activities throughout the year.
The 2015 deserving Grant
winners were Minnedosa Sharks Youth Rugby,
Minnedosa Minor Hockey
HIP program, Ryan Skelton/Minnedosa Rec and
Commissions Indoor Soccer program.

The Great Canadian
Smoke Alarm Test takes
place Sunday, November
1st from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Taking part is easy and
could prevent fire tragedies in our communities.
Were billing the
event as the Power Hour
because of the huge impact
on preventing fire tragedies that we achieve when
homeowners ensure their
smoke alarms are properly maintained with fresh
batteries, or, replaced if
they are past their ten-year
lifespan. It puts a new twist
on time change weekend,
says David Schafer, Manitobas Fire Commissioner.
During Power Hour

follow these four simple


steps:
Walk through your
home to make sure you
have a smoke alarm on
every storey, including the
basement, and outside all
sleeping areas or inside
bedrooms if you sleep with
doors closed.
Check all smoke alarm
expiry dates. If it is more
than ten years old, or the
year it was made cannot
be identified, replace the
alarm.
Press the test button
on each smoke alarm. If it
sounds, it confirms power
is present and circuits are
operating.
For added protection,
follow the same steps for
carbon monoxide alarms.

People
who
confirm
their participation online at www.safeathome.
ca have a chance to win
new Worry-Free smoke
alarm models and largesized toy Sparky Dogs.
Home fire safety expert, Carol Heller from
Kidde Canada, recommends that homeowners take advantage of new
smoke alarm technologies
that help make upkeep
easier, such as tamperproof designs, sealed tenyear lithium batteries that
last the life of the alarm,
and additional safety features such as built-in LED
lighting to help illuminate
your escape, sensors that
reduce nuisance alarms
and end-of-life warnings.

MWF Hopes To Stop Big Game Spot Lighting


By JEFF PEARSON

s the beautiful fall


sun descends on the
prairie landscape tired
farmers and their families tuck themselves in
for a peaceful, safe evenings sleep. However,
for many families living
in our rural neighbourhoods, the fall hunting
season can be a sleepless
nightmare, as the crack of
gunfire long after sunset,
shatters many peaceful
dreams. Night hunting

sometimes referred to as
spot lighting is illegal for
most hunters with the exception of our Aboriginal
neighbours. The Manitoba hunting regulations
state, Status Indians may
not discharge a rifle or
shotgun at night where
it is dangerous to do so.
When and where night
hunting can be carried
out is currently left up to
Aboriginal hunters to decide.
The Manitoba Wildlife Federation (MWF)

has launched a campaign


to stop this unsafe practice. Rob Olson, Managing Director of the
MWF, states there are
too many uncontrollable
variables at night there
may be buildings behind
your target you cant see,
livestock, or worse, other
rights-based hunters.
Night hunting just doesnt
make sense and puts citizens at extreme risk. Mr.
Olson also added, its
high-time our government realizes that hunter

safety is for everyone.


According to Rob, the reports of incidents involving spot lighting has been
on the rise for the past ten
years, with a real spike
in the last three. Many
of the reports are anonymous for fear of backlash.
Some farmers are even
considering relocating to
another province, they
not only fear for their
familys safety, but also
stray bullets damage their
buildings and equipment,
as well as fatally wound

livestock.
On October 8th the
Municipality of MintoOdanah signed a resolution supporting the Manitoba Wildlife Federation
in their efforts urging the
Manitoba
Government
to ban the practice of
spot lighting in the province and increase the enforcement of the same.
The Town of Minnedosa
passed a similar resolution during a special
meeting of council Tuesday night.

Co-op Award
Continued from Page 1
Richards involvement with the retail co-ops began
around the same time and continues today. He is director of Heritage Co-op and served on the board of Federated Co-operatives Ltd. for 12 years.
He joined the board of the Co-operators Group
where he served as a director from 2000 to 2014. He was
chairperson of the board from 2007 to 2014. Related
engagements include the Canadian Co-operative Association, the Manitoba Co-operative Association, the Wassagaming Foundation (Camp Wannakumbac), and the
Rochdale Housing Co-operative.

Whats The Take Away?


Living in
Paradise
By

VERN MAY

EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC

hink about the last


time that your travels took you on a voyage
of discovery that landed
you in some small town
where youd never been
before. Maybe it was an
unplanned detour when
the gas gauge was dancing
precariously close to empty, or a place that you discovered by surprise. Can
you picture it?
What do you remember most about that experience? Chances are, if you
rolled into a place that featured only the franchises
you recognized gas stations, fast food places, and
retail store fronts, theres
not much that youll readily recall about it. Its not
unique enough to stand
out.
What you take away

and share with others are


your unique discoveries.
The mom and pop shops
and services that you find
and will take credit for
when sharing the story
with others and recommending that they stop in
if they are ever in that community. The family-owned
establishment
or
the
unique
entrepreneurial
venture these are what
stand out the most.
For me, it was often
the unique dining experiences that I most marvelled about. Trying to
steer clear of the same fast
food options, especially on
longer tours, Id venture
into the heart of the community for some local cuisine. The Woodfi re Deli in
Souris, the Nomad Caf in
Revelstoke and the Dj

Letters to
the Editor

Dear Sir,

am writing in reply to the article run on Page 1 of The


Minnedosa Tribune of your Friday, October 23rd, 2015
edition.
I want to point out that Mr. Sopuck, as the Conservative Party of Canada candidate in the recent Federal election did, in fact, receive 46.6% of the popular vote in this
Riding. While that is statistically less than 50%, the closest
candidate to Mr. Sopuck was Mr. Piche, for the Liberals,
at 29.4%, or 10.6% behind that of Mr. Sopuck. The win by
Mr. Sopuck is a tribute to his hard work for this constituency and area of the province, in the face of a Liberal victory, the magnitude of which even surprised Liberal supporters.
I want to congratulate the other candidates teams in
this Riding for a good, solid effort, that tried to put real
issues before the electorate. We live in a democracy, for
it to thrive we all need to take part in the process. Special
thanks to Tom Dowsett (Liberal) for picking up one of the
Conservative signs after the election.
I wonder how the Liberal majority government feels
about its election win, with only 39.5% of the electorate
voting Liberals, the other 60.5% not having voted for a
Liberal government? As the headline of your article states
But Not The Choice of Most.
I wish Justin Trudeau and the incoming Liberal Government all the best.
Yours truly,

Norman H. Sims, Q.C.


Sims and Company

vu Caf in Moose Jaw are


three that readily spring to
mind. But there have been
dozens of times that my
travel itinerary has been
adjusted to allow for stops
at my favourite haunts
from coast to coast.
Aside from dining, it is
the unique shops that intrigued me. Yes, its great to
fi nd a Walmart from time
to time when youre on a
mission-specific shopping
expedition, but that transaction is commonplace. A
trip to a big box store has
never presented with the
uniqueness to inspire my
sense of discovery. Plus,
bringing home a souvenir
for loved ones from a store
they can visit any time at
home not going to draw
the type of reaction youre
hoping for.
Now, lets recognize
that nifty little shops dont
necessarily appeal to locals, so unless its a seasonal business, or housed
in a family-owned property where the mortgage
is already paid off, the development of these tourist destinations can be a
tough slog.
Add in our known
and perceived challenges
about trying to launch
business in a rural setting
so close to Brandon and
you start to see the full
scope of our business development quandary take
shape. How do we fill our
downtown buildings?

Moving forward requires some imagination,


some collaboration and
some innovation.
Yes,
perhaps the traditional retail outlets cant survive in
our modern environment
without access to a wide
clientele base. So what
can we do instead? Have
we taken a look at what
other communities are doing? Their challenges are
similar. Maybe it requires
an examination of opportunities for collaboration
of multiple complimentary
businesses on the same
site to take advantage of
economies of scale. Perhaps we need to look at
what opportunities exist to
reverse the migration from
downtown to the outskirts
and promote the ease of
access that a centralized
downtown core can create.
There isnt any ONE path
to get where we need to
go. Lets start by thinking
about the customer, what
will they take away from
the experience, then lets
grab a pencil and create
the blueprint for our future
success.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk.

Volunteer of the Year this
year was awarded to Craig

Cameron. Thank you Craig


for your dedication to recreation in the community!
We hope everyone that attended had a wonderful
time! It was great to see so
many faces from near and
far.
The Rec Commission
took over the rink last Friday with The First Shift
hockey program officially
starting and the toddlers
stepping on the ice for the
first time. Elisha McLean
and Jami Pollon have lots
of fun things planned for
the toddler skaters for the
next seven weeks. There
were a lot of smiles and red
noses coming off the ice,
and I cant wait to see more
this week.
Also on Friday Holly
and Veronica ran day camp
at TCS. Unfortunately due
to the miserable weather
the scavenger hunt that
the girls had planned had
to be moved indoors. Everyone still had lots of fun.

The kids also spent lots of


time in the gym playing
games and enjoyed decorating alien pumpkins just
in time for Halloween.
There are still many
things to do through the
Rec Commission and other community groups this
winter. The Quilting group
is having an intro session
in November where you
can make a Christmas
table runner. The rink has
both public skating and
Sticks and Pucks almost
every day of the week!
Drop-in badminton starts
in November for ages 12
and up. Rec hockey will
be starting in January.
A few things to look forward to in the spring include: preschool music
classes, ladies fitness classes, adult art classes, prenatal yoga, indoor walking groups, in-service day
camps and rec hockey.
While I am out of the
office on holidays, Holly
Parrott will be in helping
organizing our November
in-service and Santa Day
activities.
Dont forget to come
and have some fun at our
youth Halloween Dance!
Have fun and be safe
this Halloween!

NEWDALE NEWS
By RAVENS GLEN WI

ix members of the Early


Bird Club, Eileen Bradley, Linda Baker, Eva Merry, Shirley Pederson, Bev
and Harvey Van Damme,
motored to Rapid City on
October 21st for a friendly
afternoon of cards. The
Rapid City Club was celebrating their 40th anniversary playing military
whist. The Newdale folks
had no luck at cards but
Shirley Pederson won the
50/50 draw. Anniversary
cake and fellowship were
enjoyed following cards.
Five members of the
Newdale Ravens Glen WI
enjoyed the SWA Fall Seminar hosted by Erickson WI
on October 15th. We were
all welcomed with coffee
and pancakes made from
the local Warwaruk Brothers, Farmery Pancake Mix,
which of course includes
a can of beer. Delicious!
The fi rst speaker was Reverend Joe Ball, Chaplain at
Brandon General Hospital
on the topic of Communicating and Listening. He
stressed we all listen, but
with our own set of experiences, so sometimes were
not really hearing the other
persons message. The afternoon speaker was a RN
Cancer-Care Navigator,
patients may contact this
group when a cancer diagnosis is made, then the
RN will assist the cancer
patient on their journey of
appointments, treatment
options, follow-up and
hopefully into remission/
recovery. In between we
enjoyed comedy, making
new crafts from old and of
course bountiful food.

wonderful visit and some
memorable pictures captured of their time together. Eva canvassed the
Newdale village for the
Canadian Diabetes Society this fall and collected
and forwarded $550. She
appreciated everyone that
helped her with this worthy cause.
Saturday
evening
Markus Pukonen, Founding Director of Routes of
Change, pedalled into
Newdale on his recumbent
(reclining) three-wheeled
bicycle. The staff of the Leisure Inn provided food and
lodging for Markus who
said he is on the 101st day
of an 1,800 day circumnavigation of the planet
over five years. He planned
on using skis and paddle
boards as his modes of
transportation along the
way. He left Sunday morning heading west along
Highway #16 on the 102nd
day of this mammoth trip.
Ed and Susan Le Seuer
of Brandon took the Sunday Church service and we
always enjoy this friendly
couple when they return to
join us. Reverend Gordon
Stevenson of Brandon will
be in attendance this coming Sunday.
Watch for all the little
ghosts and goblins that
will be out and about Saturday night, possibly could
be some big ones too!

Rolling Out The Red Carpet


By VERN MAY

apid City is recognized as the Little


City with a Lotta Heart
and that was evidenced on
Saturday when the community Chamber hosted
a meet and greet event to
welcome new friends and
neighbours to town.
Th e event included
displays and a gift bag for
all attendees showcasing
the diverse scope of community groups and organizations as well as local services and area businesses.
This was the second time
that the Chamber has

presented this event after


a successful showing in
2013. Given the continued
growth and number of new
residents that have since
arrived, the event was
presented to share what
the town has to offer. An
intimate and lively crowd
turned out to learn more
and to take in a presentation about the community
and a summary of its history.
Some fi
rst timers to
the community may be
surprised to learn that
the farming town of 450 is
home to more than 40 local
businesses, offering a wide

range of products and services. Combined with the


active slate of community
groups and committees,
Rapid City off ers a busy
schedule of activities including a local drama club,
art classes, trivia night,
weekly Texas Hold Em
events and more.
Th e meet and greet
event spoke to the vibrancy of the community and
provided a snapshot view
that demonstrated why
Rapid City has been actively attracting new families andinspiring the construction of new homes in
the riverside town.

Dear Reena,
I have an Under Armour athletic garment
that has bad body odour
smell in the armpits. I
wash it after every use;
however, I cannot get the
foul smell out. Any suggestions? Chloe
Dear Chloe,
Soak Under Armour
in 50/50 white vinegar
and water for a few hours
before tossing the entire
contents into the washing
machine. Wash with HOT
water and machine dry, so
that fabric dries quickly. I
also contacted the Under
Armour Company and
they recommend; soaking
the gear thoroughly for 30
to 60 minutes in a solution
of half cup of baking soda
mixed with two quarts of
water.
Dear Reena,
My indoor walker is
leaving black marks on my
carpet. Is there something
I can coat the wheels with
to prevent this? Marion
Dear Marion,

Tires are black due


to the chemical carbon
black, which is a combination of various forms
of tar and vegetable oil.
Th ere is nothing official
that removes the residual
chemical. Some people
have great success by wiping the wheels with either
rubbing alcohol or household ammonia. Other people enlist a friend to run
the walker over snow on
the driveway which wears
off some of the black residue (dry well). The good
news is that overtime; the
marks should become
considerably less. Remove
any marks on vinyl flooring with a rubber eraser.
Clean marks on carpet
with dish soap and water.
If the walker had straight
legs instead of wheels, you
would have the option to
slit rubber or tennis balls
and fi t them over the feet
of the walker.
Dear Reena,
Do you have any ideas
of a good substitute for
sour cream? Ida
Dear Ida,
Combine four drops
of lemon juice with one
cup whipped cream. Let

sit for 30 minutes.


Dear Reena,
One of the phone
buttons on our cordless
phone is stuck. Is there
any way to unstick it other
than buying a new phone?
Vera
Dear Vera,
Your best hope is to
give the phone key pad
a good cleaning by using
rubbing alcohol on a soft
cloth. Clean the entire
key pad. Next dip a cotton
swab into rubbing alcohol
and clean around each
number. If the button remains stuck check out the
warranty or contact the
manufacturer.

The next speaker had a
unique approach to starting his downtown business. Paul Laliberte, owner
of Liberty Physiotherapy,
compared swimming in
a cold lake to his venture
into business, instead of

a running splash dive; he


tiptoed in, slowly getting
comfortable before taking
the plunge. Paul was cautious in the beginning, only
starting part time to build
trusting relationships with
clients and colleagues, before taking a leap of faith
into a downtown store
front location. Mr. Laliberte also had some wise
advice for entrepreneurs,
treat your customers like
family they will book
again and tell others of the
good service they received.
Nervous giggles and chat-

ter could be quietly heard


amongst the contestants as
the hosts announced the
main event The Pitch Parlour. The hosts introduced
the distinguished panel
of judges which included
Nikita Shaurette, Paul Laliberte, Beth McNabb and
Trent Clayton.
Up fi
rst were Robert and Terry Smith who
pitched their idea called
Ladyluck Casino, a funny
money casino for parties
and events.

OBITUARIES
DARWIN DESIATNYK
JANUARY 12TH, 1961
OCTOBER 21ST, 2015
Darwin Desiatnyk of
Sandy Lake, MB passed away
at his residence at the age of
54 years. Darwin was born
in Minnedosa, MB. He took
Heavy Duty Mechanics at ACC
and worked for John Deere in
Davidson, SK for a number of
years before moving home to the
farm at Sandy Lake. For the last
few years, Darwin worked at the
Clear Lake golf course. He loved
this job and was treated like family by the
staff there. He enjoyed all sports, playing hockey, baseball, curling and many more. Darwin loved spending time with his family
and his beloved pet, Spooks. He also appreciated nature, sitting
by the fire overlooking Wolf Lake, and old cars (especially Ford
Mustangs), were always a hot topic. Darwin is survived by his
parents Peter and Ella Desiatnyk, siblings Debbie (Larry) Burtnick, Ken (Cindy) Desiatnyk, Bev (Doug) MacDougall, Karen
Bertrand, 11 nieces and nephews, 19 great nieces and nephews
and numerous aunts and uncles. Darwin was predeceased by
grandparents Reinhart and Emma Weigelt and Baba and Dido
William and Dora Desiatnyk. A Memorial Service was held at
the Brockie Donovan Chapel in Brandon on Tuesday, October
27th, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. Donations in memory of Darwin may
be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Unit A1-800
Rosser Ave., Brandon, MB, R7A 6N5. Messages of condolence
may be placed at www.brockiedonovan.com.
Arrangements were in care of Brockie Donovan Funeral &
Cremation Services, Brandon, MB, (204) 727-0694.

Continued from Page 9

Whats The Big Idea?

Their idea is ground floor


at this point, but they have
done their research and the
demand is out there. They
currently do entertainment
for childrens shows and
Robert mentioned he has
been in the entertainment
business since he was just a
lad, singing to neighbours
door to door.
The
second
pitch was by Doug and
Hali Finlay, owners of
Oakview
Equipment
just north of Rapid City,
they are starting a farm
implement dealership.
Oakview Equipment will
be the exclusive dealer in
a 150-mile radius, for MTZ
Tractors, a hardier breed of
tractor for the harsh winters
in our local farming area.
Doug mentioned one of
the main reasons they are
more reliable is because
they are able to use Tier 3
engines which are a much
simpler mechanical design
and do not have all the
complicated electronics
and computers that
tend to fail in our colder
environment.
Marlies Soltys
of Modern Mosaics
proceeded to the spotlight
next with her presentation.
Modern Mosaics creates
wonderful one-of-a-kind
art pieces that compliment
any dcor. Marlies believes
Minnedosa needs a

BUILD UP
YOUR
CLIENTELE

collective art gallery for


artists to display their
works and space to conduct
art
classes.
Modern
Mosaics inventory and
workspace is beginning to
take over most of her home
and garage, so the time has
come to find a separate
location. Marlies creates
her custom pieces by
working with the client to
find out what is important
to them and incorporating
their vision to make a truly
unique art piece.
Lisa Ballegeer, a
Registered Hearing Aid
Practitioner, and owner
of Innovative Hearing
Technology
presented
her unique business idea
next. Lisas practice is
completely mobile! No
walk-in clinic, she brings
the clinic to you. What a
great idea for the elderly
and people with mobility
issues, not to mention
industrial sites that require
their employees to have
custom ear protection or
testing.
Up next, from
Neepawa,
Darryn
Cameron pitched his idea,
4 U Home and Dcor, a
furniture store specializing
in
repurposing
older
furniture and crafting
custom
pieces
at
affordable prices. Darryn
had been repurposing
older furniture as a hobby
and realized there was a
real need for a store like

this in Neepawa.
His
business is just starting
and the name is still being
licensed so marketing will
follow shortly.
The final pitch
was presented by Joyce
Dumanske and Michael
Rodericks,
for
their
innovative idea to help
recent immigrants to
Canada get settled in our
wonderful communities.
Prairie
Mountain
Transition Services is a
very new idea for Joyce
and Michael, but already
they have had promising
feedback. This idea could
be an essential government
service for immigrants in
the future.
Allowing
time
for the panel of judges to
deliberate on the pitches,
the hosts presented
another industry speaker,
Jacqueline Gerrard from
Backswath Management.
Jacqueline commented
that one of the most
exciting and necessary
elements for any
successful business is
vision. This is the passion
that fuels the entrepreneur
to strive toward their
ultimate goals. Contrary to
most, Jacqueline believes
preparing the business
plan is the fun part! I guess
its all in your perspective
and
this
informative
and interesting business
forum sure helped curious
visitors and entrepreneurs

see the different angles


of a business venture.
Backswath Management
provides
leading-edge
management consulting
services,
tools,
and
resources to farms and
agribusinesses.
The
moment
contestants had eagerly
anticipated was on deck,
the award presentations.
Minnedosas own Modern
Mosaics took home three
awards,
$1,000
from
Minnedosa and Area CDC,
$250 from the Minnedosa
Chamber of Commerce
and $300 from RBC for
Best overall Pitch. Darryn
Cameron won $1,000 from
the Town of Neepawa
for his new business
4 U Home And Dcor.
Doug and Halie Finlay
of Oakview Equipment
were awarded $500 from
the RM of Oakview. Lisa
Baillegeer won $500 from
the RM of Minto-Odanah
for her business Innovative
Hearing Technology. The
final award of the event,
$500 from BMO for The
Best Overall Idea, went
to Joyce Dumanske and
Michael Rodericks for
their business idea Prairie
Mountain Transition
Services.
Participants and
spectators were impressed
with the unique Business
Forum and organizers say
it will be an annual event.

NEIL GORDON MACKAY, Q.C.


JUNE 8TH, 1930
OCTOBER 20TH, 2015
It is with profound sadness and
heavy hearts that we announce
the peaceful passing of Neil
Gordon MacKay at the age of
85 years. His memory will be
forever cherished by his loving
wife of 58 years, Shirley, and his
three children; Donna (Marty)
Polychuk, Gord (Clare) MacKay
and Sandra (Jason) Rauhaus.
He will be deeply missed by his
grandchildren Kyle and Kevin
Polychuk, Quinn and Mahri MacKay, and
Mark and James Rauhaus. He also leaves to mourn his sistersin-law Jean Brooks, Florence MacKay and Margaret Hagglund
and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his
parents Bob and Tillie MacKay, his sister Ruth (Cliff ) Hodges,
brothers Stewart (Elsie) McKay and Alex MacKay, nephew Robert McKay, brother and sister-in-law Howard and Helen Hagglund, and brother-in-law Bill Brooks.
Neil was educated in Clanwilliam Grey School, Minnedosa Collegiate, Brandon College and University of Manitoba
Law School. He graduated in 1957, was called to the bar in 1959
and became a Queens Counsel (Q.C.) in 1985. Neil practiced
law for over 57 years, starting with the Attorney Generals Department, then Tupper Adams and finally his own law office.
Neil was extremely active in his community. Over the years
he lent his talents and time to the Big Brothers (charter office),
St. Vital Chamber of Commerce, Deer Lodge Foundation, Rotary Club of Assiniboine (Charter President) and the Provincial and Federal Liberal Party (Past President). He was also an
active member for 35 years with Ducks Unlimited Canada and
was awarded Director Emeritus for his faithful years of volunteering. Neil was a great outdoorsman, being passionate about
hunting and fishing with his family and many good friends. He
was an enthusiastic curler at the Granite Curling Club.
Family came first for Dad. Happy memories will be remembered of camping and cottaging, family get-togethers and
family holidays. His grandchildren loved to hear stories told by
Grandpa.
The family would like to thank the palliative and home care
staff for their gentle and compassionate care. Cremation has
taken place. In accordance with Neils wishes there will be no
service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity

Excitement On The Ice


By JEFF PEARSON

The Minnedosa Tribune

Friday, October 30, 2015

he Minnedosa Arena
was swarming with
eager little hockey players
and proud parents last Friday, October 23rd, with the
fi rst, on-ice skill building
session for The First Shift
hockey program.
Rec Director, Lisa
Buchanan organized the
Bauer Hockey Canada program to help new hockey
families experience the
game for a reasonable
price and time commitment. This is the fi rst time
Minnedosa has offered
this program and so far it
has been a tremendous
success with 39 kids participating, ranging in age
from six to 10. There are
11 volunteer coaches and
two of them are female
which works really well
for the 10 young hockey
girls trying out the program.
Each young participant received head to
toe equipment and will
receive six weeks of one
hour on ice skill building
