special anniversary celebration marking 90 years


of service for the Rapid City Legion Branch #49 was
held at the Legion Hall on the evening of Saturday, September 10th. Some 150 people filled the hall for the evening program which included a delicious turkey dinner,
musical entertainment, reminiscing and the presentation of some special awards.
Comrade Jim Christie served as the evenings emcee. Jim has held the term of presidents for the Rapid
City Legion for over 30 years. His first Presidential term
was from 1982 to 1993 and was re-elected in 1997 and
continues to serve as president today. For this long
time dedication to the branch, Jim was presented with
a prestigious Royal Canadian Legion 90th anniversary
commemorative medal.
Four Veterans and Life members of the branch were
also honoured with each receiving 70 year service pins,
certificates of appreciation and 90th anniversary medals. The recipients included Comrades Art Bayes, Cecil
Bayes, George McLean and Harold Timer Hyndman.
A number of other service pins were handed out during
the anniversary celebration. Associate member David
McCallum received his 30 year pin with Associate members Lynn Kroeger and Frank Hyndman each receiving
their 40 year pin. Ordinary member Gerry Kemp was
presented his 55 year pin by his son, Brian.
The Rapid City Branch #49 of the Royal Canadian
Legion was formed on November 5th, 1926. The fi rst
president elected was Dr. J.T. Mulvey, but sadly, before
he had an opportunity to hold office he passed away as
a result of a heart attack just four days after the Legion
was formed. J.A. Sample, who had been elected the first
Vice President stepped up and took the position of President for the first term.
The Rapid City War memorial was unveiled two
years later, in 1928. The stone memorial, built by Harry
Fulcher and located north of the Rapid City bridge, was
unveiled on June 9th, 1929. Originally, the monument
featured an Honour Roll with the names of 38 men who
lost their lives in World War One. In July 1948 a second
plaque was added featuring the names of 20 men who
gave their lives in World War Two.
The Legion Ladies Auxiliary was formed in November 1935 with 13 members. The fi rst president was Ada
Gilhuly, wife of Dr. I.K. Gilhuly.

expect a heros welcome
when she returns home
to Minnedosa for the first

There was much excitement this summer as
Minnedosa saw their second local product ascend

former Minnedosa Collegiate classmates as well as
family friends were glued
to their television sets,
hopeful that the first Manitoba gymnast in 24 years

y name is Hillary Campbell, and I have just started


as the new reporter for The Minnedosa Tribune. I
was born in Sudbury, ON, which is where I spent most
of my childhood. When I was nine years old, my family moved to Santiago, Chile for my fathers career. After two and a half years, we moved back to Sudbury,
where I remained until I left to go to Trent University
in Peterborough, ON. I spent two years at Trent before
transferring my credits to the University of Aberdeen
in Aberdeen, Scotland. At the University of Aberdeen I
completed my MA in English and Linguistics.
When I graduated from university, I moved to North
Bay, ON. In North Bay I started working with The Working Forest Newspaper, where I reported on issues in the
forestry industry. Shortly after, I moved to South Korea,
where I taught English to Kindergarten children for four
months, until the school I worked for went bankrupt,
and I moved to Winnipeg. After a few months in Winnipeg, I moved to Brandon to be closer to my family.
In Brandon, I met my fi anc, a farmer. Having embraced the agricultural community in the area, I have
now moved to Justice, MB.
I have always been an avid curler and curl two
nights a week in Brandon. I am very community-minded, and serve on the board of directors for the Y.W.C.A
in Brandon. I enjoy volunteering whenever I am able
to.
I am very excited to start working with
The Minnedosa Tribune, as writing has always been my passion. I
look forward to meeting members of the community,
and helping them share their stories.

he St. John building is now a piece of our history that well have to remember only from
photographs. While there are those in the community that will celebrate this as a conclusion, I would
suggest to you that it is not. Instead, it should be
the starting point for whatever comes next. But it
depends on four crucial people Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
Perhaps youve heard this story before:
A story
about four people named Everybody, Somebody,
Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job
to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody
would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because
it was Everybodys job. Everybody thought Anybody
could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody
wouldnt do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed
Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could
have.
Will this be the outline for the tale that we will
tell future generations about the vacant lot where
the St. John Building used to stand? Over the past
eighteen months, there have been a number of
conversations about the state of the building and
the shame that our downtown is unable to grow
because of this vacant property that is unsuitable
for occupancy. The conversation often included a
veiled undertone of Well, Id put my money into
something, but I dont know what surprises I would
discover with that property as is.
Well, any mystery has been addressed by the
landowner. The building has been razed and the
potential for any new development stands as a blank

slate at the heart of the business district. I look first


to those who were the strongest proponents of tackling this issue and to them I say: Your obstacle has
been addressed, its now your move.
Starting from today how will that Everybody,
Somebody, Anybody, Nobody story play out?
Could we look at development that reflects the
traditional composition of downtown ground floor
commercial, second floor residential? It has been
well identified over the past year by individuals
looking to launch a new venture in the community
that we are sorely lacking in suitable commercial
space, so this site could create some new opportunities for that. By also incorporating and second
(and possibly third) floor residential component,
this would allow the developer to be flexible in attracting the right business for the space while generating revenue from the rental suites above.
Could we explore creating a business incubator,
one which allows for office space for start-ups and
home-based businesses that are looking to evolve
to their next step, including some Main street visibility? This is a model that has worked in other
communities and creates opportunities to nurture
emerging entrepreneurs. This solution creates a
welcoming and familiar environment for local investment at relatively low risk.
However, it is important to be cautious about
using that word we. Ultimately, it benefits everybody to see something fill the void left as a result of
this urban renewal effort, anybody could step forward with a proposal, somebody could become the
problem-solver that prevents this loss from sitting
as a scar on the downtown landscape for the next
generation. But what is the likelihood that nobody
takes action?
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk. You can find me under the
Discover Minnedosa banner on Main Street, reach
me by e-mail at edo@minnedosa.com, call me at
204-867-3885, or keep up with the action on Facebook.

To wrap up the evening and entire history
of the Rapid City Legion
in one short paragraph
would be impossible, but,
a comment from Linda
Black during her Legion
history presentation may
sum it up best, What will
the future bring? No one
knows but lets agree that
everyone here tonight
pledge to continue on
the goals that the first Legion formed after the first
World War and never let
the world forget.

1906 Minnedosa had a little railway collision Monday night when a misplaced switch caused the Rapid City
train to take the wrong track and put an empty cattle car
out of business for awhile. No lives were lost.
1916 The pretty milkmaid is being supplanted by the
gasoline engine. Mr. Rex Dyer has one of the latter which
milks about 21 cows in one hour.
1936 Strongly feeling the need for a town Nurse,
council has voted to increase the salary of Nurse Rea. The
increase amounted to $20 a month which will be added
to the salary now paid by the school board.
1956 There is a possibility that the Minnedosa Jets
hockey team will fold this year. A public meeting last
week indicated that very little interest exists in town as
far as hockey is concerned. Only 19 people attended and
most of them are already on the local hockey association
board.
1966 Doctor Raymond Bright, a Graduate of the
University of Manitoba, and his wife Darlene, arrived
here in early July. He has joined the medical staff at the
Minnedosa and District Hospital.
1986 The offi cial opening of the $105,000 Main Street
Manitoba Project was held Friday. Less than 48 hours
later, one of the new liter containers was overturned and
one of the new planters pushed onto the travelled portion of Main Street. Five young offenders will be charged
as a result of this incident.

NEWDALE NEWS
By RAVENS GLEN WI

ongratulations
to
Henry and Phyllis Winder of Minnedosa
who celebrated their 50th
Wedding Anniversary recently. We all wish them
many more. Henry was
the Pool Elevator Manager in town for quite a few
years before moving to
Basswood and Phyllis did
Home Care in the area.
On September 1st the
Cardale-Newdale Pastoral
Charge held their meeting in the Newdale United
Church. Brent Fortune
chaired the meeting and

reports were read from


each charge and how not
having a full time Minister aff ects them. Elgin
Hall will be preaching at
Cardale twice a month
and in Newdale the first
Sunday of each month for
the coming year. Finances
were discussed and decided upon regarding wages
to be paid. In Newdale
the service on the fi rst
Sunday of each month
will be held at 11:00 a.m.
with coff ee served before
the service @ 10:00 a.m.
in the Church basement.
The other Newdale Sunday services will be held at

*We accept Visa, Master Card & debit card purchases


*We deliver within town limits Mon - Sat at 4:00 p.m
($2 charge - $10 minimum order)
*Seniors Discount every Friday (65 & up)

10:00 a.m. as usual and we


will have a number of Lay
Ministers taking the pulpit
from now to Christmas.
Several from Newdale
attended the last Hymn
Sing of the summer held
at the Sandy Lake Drop-In
on September 11th. Doreen and Gary Stapleton
provide the music and approximately twenty to forty people thoroughly enjoyed the singing of many
old time gospel favourites.
Doreens Eastern Star
Choir members joined the
group in August and the
blend of voices was wonderful!

Happy
Birthday
wishes to Donnie Graham, now of Winnipeg
on September 17th and
to Clara Blackwood of the
Minnedosa Care Home
who celebrates her birthday on August 27th. Wishing you both a year of good
health!
Barb Pederson arrived
from Medicine Hat last
week just in time to help
Rodney celebrate his 60th
birthday. They left several
days later for a European
River Cruise to celebrate.
Congratulations
to
Kristi Morris and Amber Baker, both who go

to school in Strathclair,
who were members of the
Manitoba Fastball team
that brought home a silver
medal from the Canadian
National Girls Baseball
Tournament in Vaughan,
ON in August. Kristi was
named the MVP in the final game, unfortunately
the team ran out of steam
in the final game, but what
a wonderful run they had
and will have made many
wonderfulmemories.
These girls gave the best
performance of any other
team from Manitoba sent
before them. Congratulations and well done!

Roberta Galbraith of
Manitoba Canola Growers demonstrated how
much of the earths surface is actually used for
agriculture. For this, she
did what is known as the
Global Apple Activity. An
apple, homegrown on a
local farm, was cut into
four equal pieces. Three
of the pieces represented
the oceans and the fourth
represents the land. The
land portion is then cut
in half lengthwise. One of
those pieces represents
all the land areas where
people cannot live such as
deserts and swamps. The
other one-eighth represents land where people
live but may not grow
food. This section is then
cut crosswise into four
more equal slices. Three
of these represent areas
that have been developed
or where soils are poor,
too wet or too dry for food
production. That leaves

Big Hearts Of Minnedosa

he Big Hearts of
Minnedosa, the local Big Bike Ride team,
was turning heads on the
streets of Minnedosa on
the evening of Tuesday,
September 13th.
The
event is hosted each year
to raise awareness and
money for the Heart and
Stroke Foundation. This
year, with the addition of a
few last minute donations
on Wednesday morning,
the team managed to raise
close to $3,500. They beat
last years donations by
about $400.
The ride, which lasted
just under half an hour, included 20 riders this year.
The bike is able to seat 29
riders, so the team hopes
to attract more people
for next year. The team
started at the Minnedosa
Community Centre at
5:30 p.m. and went down
Main Street. They then
turned at the town clock,
and made sure to go by
the care home. Then they
went back down Main

Street and finished back at


the community centre.
At the head of the
bike was team captain Annette Haywood. Haywood
has been doing the Big
Bike Ride for a number of
years, but this was her first
year as captain. Haywood
rides because she has
had a number of family
members that have been
touched by heart disease
and stroke, so it was something that made sense.
She also added that this
is something that is near
and dear to my heart, no
pun intended.

Since this was her


fi rst year as captain, she
noted that she was just
trying to fi gure it all out,
but that she already has
some ideas for next year to
recruit more riders, raise
more awareness, and get
more dollars for the Heart
and Stroke Foundation.
Haywood hopes to be captain of the team next year,
but that there is room for
a co-captain if anyone
might be interested in giving it a try.
The Big Bike Ride is an
event that is held throughout Canada. It features a

large bicycle with 30 seats.


Individuals and teams
fundraise and collect donations to help the Heart
andStrokeFoundation.
Last year, there were over
70,000 riders from different communities across
the country. This helped
to raise more than $8 million dollars for research.

Tips For All Types Of Problems


Solutions and
Substitutions
By

REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
We own a large, decorative cabinet that was
built for our upper landing to provide more storage and look good. It has
a shiny melamine surface,
and we were happy with
it until a large scratch
was made on the surface
by someone dragging a
large glass ornament over
it while dusting. Is there
anything that can be done
to reduce or eliminate this
unsightly scratch? Bruce

Dear Bruce,
SeamFil or paint are
both eff ective at reducing the appearance of
scratches on melamine. If
the melamine color is dark
you may want to soften a
colour matched crayon,
fill in the scratch and then
buff the area to blend the
colour.

Re: Holes too Large in
Salt Shaker

BASSWOOD NEWS

I read about the salt


shaker problem with regards to the salt pouring
out too quickly due to
the holes being too large.
I took the lid off of my
shaker and placed plastic
wrap over the opening put
the lid back on and poked
holes through the plastic wrap; problem solved.

Re: Smelly Cupboards
What Ive found eff
ective to remove odors from
cupboards or drawers is to
put vanilla onto a cotton
ball, put the cotton ball
into a cup. Leave the cup
in the cupboard or drawer.
It may take a few days, but
the odor gradually disappears. You may have to
replace the vanilla on the
cotton ball about once a
week. Marion
Re: Hairspray on Walls

In reference to the
lady who has trouble removing hairspray from
her walls. I use Lysol bath
foam (Lysol Tub and Tile)
to remove hairspray on
walls. I also spray it on my
hairbrushes before washing with soap. Worth a try;
as it works for me. Marion
Re: Removing Bathtub
Ring
I made a small bag
from old pantyhose and
fi lled it with bits of hand
soap e.g.: Dove or Ivory

neighbour uses soap/
pantyhose to clean his
windshield and headlights
while on the road, says its
the very BEST. Doreen
Re: Black Goo on Carpet
after Cleaning Broken
Ballast Light
Your tip noted a 1970s

fluorescent ballast was replaced which would have


probably been dielectric
probably PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyl) carcinogenic, so that was why
the electrician was reluctant to clean it up. It is not
volatile, but skin contact
is to be avoided. Dust and
dry with oil absorber. Follow with any dry-cleaning
solvent and more absorber dust. Wear protective
equipment. Dispose of
any cleaning material at
Hazardous Waste site. David
I read about 25 years
ago that those old ballasts were made with PCB
DANGER by one company
and you could identify
them by an E in the serial number. That electrician should have known
that and owned up to the
responsibility. Charlie

Re: Dryer Lint


I too had a problem
with dryer lint messing up my outdoor patio
space.To solve it, I placed
a one-gallon black plastic
plant pot (with drainage
holes) under the dryer
vent and put a 2-3 inch
layer of coarse gravel in
the bottom of the pot. The
lint gets trapped by the
gravel and can be picked
off, or just disposed of and
replaced with fresh gravel.
Hope this works for your
reader. Linda

Cooking
With
CHEF DEZ

ere we are once again


at the start of another school year. Packing
kids lunches is a chore for
many, and sometimes one
can lose sight of nutritional
value due to heavily marketed convenience foods.
School-time snacks and
lunches are not exactly
the best avenue to practice
gourmet cuisine, but I do
get asked on occasion for
some healthy ideas. Therefore, this column will be
my salute to parents who
are willing to say no to
pre-packaged, high-preservative foods for their
children.
Nuts are a very nutritious option, as long as allergy restrictions arent a
concern. Nuts are a good

source of protein and a


great source of unsaturated fat (the good kind of
fat). Unsaturated fats have
been proven to help reduce levels of LDL-cholesterol (the bad cholesterol)
without lowering HDLcholesterol (the good one).
Unsaturated fats are best
described as the ones that
are liquid at room temperature, while saturated
fats are solid. Additionally,
there are a large variety of
nuts to choose from for
discriminating tastes: almonds, cashews, peanuts,
etc. and some are even
available with different
flavourings to make them
more appealing - just keep
your eye on the sodium
content and other ingredi-

Nutritious School Snack Ideas


ents.
Fresh fruit is an obvious choice, but make
sure it is something that
they enjoy, to increase the
probability of consumption! One thing you can do
to make fruit more tempting is do some of the prep
ahead of time. For example, a cut and/or peeled
orange is much easier to
eat than a whole orange.
Make it interesting - dont
always send the same fruit.
Every once in a while, pack
some berries, seasonal
fruit, or something more
exotic like kiwi or star fruit.
The ease of eating
dried fruit makes it an attractive option as well.
There are so many naturally dried fruit options
that do not contain additional sugar, that it is easy
to make their lunch interesting for them. There are
dried plums, apples, apri-

cots, pineapple, mango,


and banana to name a few,
and they are healthier substitutions for pre-packaged
fruit rolls.
Carbohydrate
type
snack options could be
granola bars or popcorn.
When purchasing granola
bars, read the ingredients
to monitor the amount of
preservatives and refined
sugar they have. Do not
choose chocolate covered
ones as they defeat the purpose of making a healthy
choice to begin with. Also
the harder granola bars are
usually healthier than the
softer ones. Popcorn, as
long as it not drenched in
butter, is a great option and
a good source of fiber. It is
obviously okay (and recommended) that our children consume fat in their
diets as it is all part of brain
development. Fat intakes
should be monitored but

not eliminated.
Whole-wheat crackers
are another healthy option.
Again this may require
reading a few labels, but
a perfect opportunity to
replace amounts of white
flour in their diets with
whole wheat. For those of
you who have time, there
are even cracker recipes that you can prepare
together with your children at home. The appeal
of whole-wheat crackers
will be much greater with
the pride that comes along
with making them. Throw
in some slices of cheese
as part of their dairy intake, along with some lean
meat slices or tuna salad
for their own homemade
snack-packs.
I am not a dietitian,
and these suggestions are
merely that. I feel that is
our job as parents to keep
educated. Contacting a

dietitian, for proper moderations for your childrens


balanced diets of all the
food groups, is highly recommended.
Dear Chef Dez,
Keeping perishables
cool in my childs lunch
box is a concern. I have
tried sending ice packs but
I dont always get them
back - you know how kids
are! Any suggestions?
Dawn
Dear Dawn,
An easy and inexpensive way to do this is to
freeze juice boxes. One or
two frozen juices in their
lunch will keep things cool
for the morning and will
make a great chilled drink
by noon. The addition of a
thermal lunch bag works
great too.

Minnedosa Collegiate.
Students in Brazil are

Levi did experience some

very diff erent trends from


attending school here in
Minnedosa. The teachers joke around and invite the kids to hang out at
their house after school.

Its not formal at all, you


call your teachers by their
fi rst name as well, theres
no Mr. and Mrs. They are
more like friends than
teachers. Levi also explained that wheras the
students move from classroom to classroom here
in Manitoba, over in Brazil the students remain in
the same classroom and
the teachers circulate for
the diff erent courses they
teach.
Brazillians are very
open-armed,
friendly
people, explained Levi.
The fi rst day in class everyone was coming over
to shake my hand. Its customary for the girls to give
you a kiss on the cheek.
Its different how open you
can be with people.
As a result of this
openness and friendliness, Levi made a number
of life-long friends while
in Brazil people who he
keeps in contact regularly
through social media and
hopes to visit with again
one day in person.

Levi was in Brazil


over the Christmas holidays last year and it was
the first time he had been
away from his family during the holiday season.
While it took some time to
adjust to being away from
home during the holidays, it also took awhile
for Levi to get used to the
Christmas weather in Brazil. There, Christmas is in
their summer season so
instead of walking around
in the cold with ice and
snow it was forty degrees
and I was walking around
sweating trying to cool
off.
Levi left Brazil in June
and arrived back home in
Manitoba on June 19th.
He returned home with
only a small group of family and friends knowing he
was back in Canada. He
wanted it to be a surprise
for most and made sure
he was home to celebrate
Grad 2016 with his MCI
classmates.
Looking back over his
entire exchange experience in Brazil, Levi cannot
pin-point just one highlight. The entire experience was amazing, he explained. Its a whole year
of your life and I learned
so much every day and every day was unique. They
are very excited to share
their culture and learn
about other cultures.
For this year, Levi will
be completing Grade 12
at MCI, doing some presentations on his Rotary
Exchange experience and
be promoting the program
to others. He encourages
others to consider taking
part in an exchange experience as his year in Brazil
was a life changing event
that he will never forget!
