T he Minnedosa Minor Baseball 2018 season is official-

ly underway. It kicked off on May 1st, and promises
to be a fun season.
According to Wes Taylor, President of the Midwest
League, the kids in the league are able to get out to play
at least once a week during the busy season, and these
games could be at home or on the road.
The league consists of nine teams this year. This in-
cludes three Rally Caps teams (age seven and under),

three Grand Slams teams (age nine and under), one Mos-
quito team (age eleven and under), one PeeWee team
(age thirteen and under), and one Bantam team (age fif-
teen and under).
O ne of Minnedosa’s most unique tourist attractions, the bison herd, has been growing recently. The annual calving
season is underway and as of press time Wednesday, there were five baby bison at the local Bison Park.
Town of Minnedosa Public Works Manager, Kevin Marcino reports that so far, all the calves have been born
This year’s enrollment is similar to last year, with healthy and he is hopeful that in the end, all 12 females will give birth. The first newborn of the season arrived during
possibly two or three more kids this year. Taylor said that the last weekend of April and for the first while, the babies were arriving daily.
typically they have more than 100 kids who enroll each The bison have been a real attraction for locals and visitors alike since the Bison Park was established in 1996. If
year. you have not yet been out to visit the local herd, now is the time to do it as you can catch a glimpse of the young calves
frolicking through the pasture under the close and watchful eye of their protective mothers.

Mavericks Back To The Plate…
Minnedosa Mavericks are gearing up for another
season of baseball as the 2018 season of the Santa Clara
League opens on May 14th. The Mavericks are one of
eight teams in the league entering a 14 game regular
season. The Mavericks first game of the season will be in
Ste. Rose on May 16th when they take on the Ebb and
Flow Lakers. The first home game, here at the Glennis
Scott Field will be June 1st against the Dauphin Brewers.
Other home games of the regular season will be June 6th,
June 8th, June 15th, June 20th, June 27th and July 4th. All
games are scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
Covering Up…
It was reported in the May 5th, 1898 edition of The
Tribune that this office was “covering up blemishes with
a new suit of pine” which we assume meant new pine
siding over the original log walls of our first office. Re-
cently, in preparation for an open house to celebrate The
Tribune’s 135th anniversary this summer, we are “cover-
ing up blemishes” with a new coat of paint in our back
shop.
Worst Roads…
Manitoba CAA’s 2018 Worst Roads campaign has
come to a close. Over 6,000 votes were cast for close to
700 roads throughout the province. The road receiving
the most votes this year was Empress Street in Winnipeg
with P.R. #450 near Boissevain in as second worst. This
road was ranked the worst rural road as well as the worst
in Westman. Minnedosa’s Main Street south was voted
the fifth worst road in Westman. Fortunately, Main Street
south is one of the areas the Town is hoping to repave
this year.
RFM ADDITIONS...
As we go to press, we learn of recent additions to the
lineup for Rockin’ The Fields 2018. The latest acts added
include Headpins, Helix, Honeymoon Suite and Buck-
cherry. The 15th annual RFM weekend will be held Au-
gust 3rd to 5th.

A United Canada Without the Monarchy
By Jeffrey J. CunninghaM
Vancouver, BC
C anada and England would fit seamlessly into the
internationalcom munityw ithoutthe M onarchy!
It is not accidental that the great majority of na-
tions are republics. It has been the result of human-
ity’s long groping in the dark, tribulations and sacri-
fices.
Its first and greatest benefit for Canada is that it
will deliver a forceful disincentive to the separatist
movement in Quebec because after the disposal of
the Monarchy, everyone across the land will take the
oath of allegiance to Canada itself. We will pledge al-
legiance to one another and that per se will awaken
a great sense of commitment, responsibility, and be-
longing in all of us.
Let us for the duration of time that it takes to read
this article set aside the fact of the Aboriginals’ exis-
tence on this continent from time immemorial and
state another fact that the French came here before
the English and later on lost the colonial war to Eng-
land and England unilaterally declared sovereignty
over the entire land and dumped the Monarchy on
it. Wars are not any different from sports in the sense
that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose and
to take the oath of allegiance to the English Monarch
simply does not bring out the best in our French Cana-
dians; it only perpetuates the feeling of a past loss.
France is a major world power and several gen-
erations ago with its Revolution of 1789 it abolished
the monarchy and the parasitism that went with it,
ended the ancien regime (old system), and became the
source of inspiration for the rest of the world. Now,
what does it mean to a “free French citizen” to come
all the way to Canada for a new life only to be labelled
as “the subject” of the English Monarch? Who is any-
one else to decide for our French Canadians how they
should feel about taking the oath of allegiance to the
English Monarch?
As humanity’s experience has shown, a monar-
chy has never been a marketable system. All monar-
chies by their nature breed untold privileges based on
someone’s birth and have been crumbling one after
the other and, very fortunately, nowadays it is impos-
sible to convince a republic to convert its system to a
monarchy.
What are we waiting for here in Canada? Are we
waiting for the English to arouse from their coma to

dispose of the Monarchy before we decide to become
a republic? The Monarchy has always worked for Ca-
nadian politicians.
One politician after the other has sought the high-
est office only for the sake of becoming the Prime
Minister and the rest was to deal with the day-to-day
routines of the office and at the end to collect a fat re-
tirement pay cheque!
We must salute Australia for moving in the direc-
tion of a republican system. Its former prime minister,
Julia Gillard, had the courage to make it her political
platform during her campaign to end the Monarchy
in Australia and when the Queen visited Australia, she
had the courage of her convictions and delivered the
message by standing tall and graceful and refusing
to curtsy. What a great and unforgettable moment it
was for a nation moving towards a republican system!
Unfortunately, a coterie of misguided and sexist politi-
cians did everything they could to bring her down, but
they cannot stop Australia from moving forward.
English Canada is satisfied to think that the sep-
aratist movement will go away on its own while the
Monarchy is firmly in place, but the hard facts indicate
that it is alive and well and only simmers down from
time to time.  Since Rene Levesque, the founder of the
separatist party, Parti Quebecois, and the first Quebec
Premier from that party, resigned from politics in late
1985 (premier: November 25, 1976 to October 3, 1985)
to this date we have had five more Parti Quebecois pre-
miers in Quebec and there will be more in the years to
come.
This leads us to the fair conclusion that it now only
takes a great and charismatic French Canadian leader
to rise to power and sweep them off their feet and give
at least the majority of the voters, if not all of them,
enough get-up-and-go to say yes to “sovereignty”! The
dire consequences are that the cost to all of us will be
astronomically high and unbearable and still worse
is the fact that after the break-up the rest of Canada
will become a bird’s nest on the ground for the United
States.
Time is marching on very fast and we must act
decisively. We must stop once and for all falsely and
complacently pointing fingers at our French Canadi-
ans. Instead, we must train our eyes and our united
efforts towards removing the actual cause, which is
the Monarchy and its divisive effect on our lives in
Canada.

MP Sopuck Will Not Seek Re-election
Golf Tournament To Benefit
Those Fighting Addiction
By HILLARY MILLER
T he Adult and Teen
Challenge Golf Tour-
nament will be held at the
Minnedosa Golf and Coun-
try Club this June, and pro-
ceeds from the event will
go towards helping people
who are plagued by addic-
tions and are seeking help.
According to Aaron
Murray, the Development
Officer at the Adult and
Teen Challenge of Central
Canada, they are hoping
to have at least 50 golf-
ers this year. The group
receives no government
funding, since they are a
faith-based group, and
this is one of their major
fundraisers. They ask that
golfers raise $250 for the
event, which will cover
their greens fees, a shared
cart, lunch, a steak dinner,
a prize, and most impor-
tantly, will support a great
cause. He hopes that peo-
ple will register as soon as
possible, so that they can
begin fundraising.
Murray noted that

He also said that if anyone
is interested in attending
the banquet without golf-
ing, or if they have a guest
they would like to bring to
the banquet, the banquet
tickets are $30.
Last year, the golf tour-
nament helped the group
raise $44,000. This year,
the goal is to raise $50,000.
Murray stressed that the

great to work with. “The

Murray is working very

Why? Because he himself

born and raised and strug-
gled for years with an alco-
hol and cocaine addiction.
He believes to his core that

nue, too, should be given early attention. Its present con-
dition is in no way satisfactory to those who travel over it.
1918 – A lad named Lionel Broome made a good day’s
work on Saturday. While working on his father’s farm
near town he found a wolf’s den with eight young ones in
it. He captured the whole lot, bringing them to town and
receiving his $10 for them.
1928 – Minnedosa electors favour beer by the glass
with a vote of 449 to 122.
1948 – Minnedosa Consumers Co-op had sales of
$128,327.46 for 1947. This is an increase of 29 percent
from 1946.
1958 – On Saturday, the Horticultural Society gave
away more than 100 Amur Maples with the long view of
beautifying the town. Some of those receiving the trees
in turn donated them to the Park’s Board to be planted
at the beach.
1968 – Effective immediately, “No Left Turn” signs will
be posted at Main Street and 2nd Avenue S.E. and 2nd
Avenue S.W. commonly known as the Post Office corner.
This means that motorists wishing to enter Main Street
from this intersection will have to make a complete cir-
cuit of Main Street if they wish to turn left.
1978 – Mayor Jim Burgess cut the ribbon to officially
open the Green Valley Centre of Senior Citizens on May
5th. About 240 people attended the opening.
2008 – With the retirement of Superintendent Neil
Whitley and Assistant Superintendent Jim Hardy next
month, Rolling River School Division has chosen its re-
placements for the upcoming school year. The new Su-
perintendent will be Reg Klassen with Marg Janssen as
Assistant Superintendent.

Touring Kruk Castle Bed And Breakfast
By DARRYL HOLYK
T he doors of Minnedo-
sa’s historic mansion,
locally known as “The
Castle”, were opened to
the public on Saturday,
May 5th. Some 200 people
toured the home which
is known as “Kruk Castle
Bed and Breakfast” during
the recent five-hour open
house.
Dr. Robert Kruk of Car-
man recently purchased
Minnedosa’s historic land-
mark and was on hand
to greet visitors and reac-
quaint himself with locals.
Dr. Kruk practiced with the
Minnedosa Medical Group
for a short period in 2001.
Working in the local clinic
next door to the castle, Dr.
Kruk always viewed the
property as magnificent.
Last year, while visiting
Minnedosa, he learned the
property was for sale and
officially took possession
on April 1st.
Many “ooh’s and

Health District Auxiliary Honours Florence Nightingale

By Hillary Miller are always needed and health care facilities. As
welcomed. annual scholarship is also

F riday, May 4th saw the

16th annual Florence
Nightingale Luncheon at
the Minnedosa Legion.
The lunch began at 11:30
a.m., and organizers saw
approximately 140 people
who came out to support
them.
For many years prior
to being a luncheon, the
Minnedosa Health Dis-
trict Auxiliary held a tea
and bake sale, which was
changed to a luncheon six-
teen years ago.
The baking was pro-
vided by the members of
the Minnedosa Health Dis-
trict Auxiliary, who each
contributed two items for
the sale. Joan Madill, a
long-time member of the
Minnedosa Health Dis-
trict Auxiliary, noted that
they received many com-
pliments on the array of
baking that was available
to attendees. In addition
to the generous contri-
butions that were made
by the members, Madill
was happy to report that
Minnedosa also has many
volunteers who also do-
nate baked goods to the
event.
The event is held close
to the first weekend in May
every year to celebrate
the birthday of Florence
Nightingale, who is widely
considered the founder of
modern nursing. She trail-
blazed in her field during
the 1800s, and helped cre-
ate policies around prop-
er care of patients in the
medical field. “We want
to recognize her and her
contributions,” said Madill,
“Because we believe in the
same things she did.”

The Minnedosa Health
District Auxiliary dates
back to 1906 and presently
has 34 active members.
There are also a number
of additional people in
the community that assist
with canvassing, baking
for bake sales and knitting
for the gift cupboard in the
hospital. New members
The goal of the Auxil-
iary is to contribute to the
health of the community.
Some of the ways, the Aux-
iliary gives back inlude
purchasing equipment for
care of patients and resi-
dents in Minnedosa’s Hos-
pital and Personal Care
Home; by contributing to
organizations such as the
Heart and Stroke Founda-
tion, Kidney Foundation,
Minnedosa Handivan, Al-
zeimers’ Society, Multiple
Sclerosis, Diabetic Society,
Arthritis Society, Osteo-
porois Society and Camp
Bridges. This past year,
Minnedosa Health District
Auxiliary also donated to
the Dr. Ajai Khandelwal
Primary Care Centre. In
the period from 1991 to
2017, the auxiliary raised
over $339,000 through the
work of our members and
the generosity of our com-
munity. These funds have
provided significant aid
to the care given in our
presented to a graduating
student who is entering
studies in the health care
field.
While there is no cur-
rent assigned use for the
funds raised for the Flor-
ence Nightingale Lun-
cheon, they will go into
the treasury for the group.
Madill noted that a current
project the group is work-
ing towards bringing wi-fi
to the hospital.
The Minnedosa Health
District Auxiliary could not
give back as much as they
do with out the generous
support and of the people
in the community who
donate and come out to
events such as the recent

T he Municipality of

Friendly Incentive Com-
mittee hosted on Wills and
Powers of Attorney at the
Sandy Lake Drop-In Cen-
tre last month. The pre-
sentation attracted a room
full of people.
The speaker, Terri Del-
ler, is a lawyer from Bran-
don who was chosen to
present since she is a good
friend of one of the mem-
bers of the Age Friendly
Initiative Committee,
Irene Thomas. “We were
very appreciative of Terri
giving of her time, talent
and expertise,” said Do-
of Attorney. “The neces-
sary elements of assigning
an executor and choos-
ing someone to look after
your affairs should you
not be able to do so, were
some of the many aspects
and concerns thoroughly
included,” Stapleton sum-
marized.
While Deller’s presen-
tation was thorough and
informative, she allotted a
lot of time at the end of her
presentation for questions
from the crowd.

She has received very
positive feedback on the
presentation. “All were
grateful for the free infor-

their future affairs. I be-

impressed with how ‘un-

Terri certainly ‘de-mysti-

than enough to share be-
tween the resident grey squir-
rels and turkeys, with lots of
leftovers for chipmunks.
However, the chipmunk
conundrum serves as a great
example of the problems
small parks face trying to sus-
tain a large and healthy array
of species. Basically, chip-
munks were impacted by the
lack of space to escape preda-
tors, plus the Park was not
large enough of a sanctuary to
host a sustainable population
when the chips were down.
At one time house cats and
dogs were free to roam Point
Pelee, and they ended up
wiping out several mam-
mal species, including chip-
munks. These wildlife spe-
cies just couldn’t find enough
wild habitat to escape from
the non-native predators.
No matter where they tried
to hide, the large number of
well-fed predators that killed
for sport would find them.
The native populations
also couldn’t replenish their
numbers by having new chip-
munks come into the area.
Anytime a resident chipmunk
was killed, there were no indi-
viduals to replace it. In larger
Parks there are always young
animals looking for new terri-
tories but If your population is
small, and you have nowhere
else to draw new recruits
from, you are pretty much
doomed.
Luckily, cats and dogs
are much better controlled
now, and so chipmunks could
likely survive today if they
were reintroduced. The park
reintroduced southern flying
squirrels, another species that
was killed off by house cats,
several years ago and they ap-
pear to be doing well.
Which brings me back
to hog-nosed snakes and
Fowler’s toads. The toads dis-
appeared for likely the same
reasons that chipmunks did
– they just weren’t able to es-
cape the persecution of cats,
dogs, and children. They also
suffered from loss of habitat.
However, the loss of the
toads had a knock-on effect
for the snakes. As I say, hog-

nosed snakes are toad eat-
ing specialists, and once the
toads were gone, the snakes
disappeared. In ecology, this
is termed a cascade effect.
Like falling domino tiles, as
one species disappears, an-
other population dies out too.
Riding Mountain National
Park, as a relatively large park,
has not impacted the same
way. At least in the short
term. Unlike Pelee, there is
a core area of the Park that
serves as a refuge from most
human-caused impacts.
There is also a large
enough resident population
of most species to replenish
populations when or where
the local residents have been
wiped out. On top of this there
is also some ecological con-
nections with other wild areas
that allow populations to be
sustained by new members
coming from other areas.
However, we should
never get complacent as it
often takes a long time for
these negative ecological
effects to be felt. Popula-
tions that have large swings
in numbers such as lynx,
or populations that have a
small base like wolves, can
maintain themselves for a
long time, but suddenly die
out when some new disease,
predator, or competitor tips
the finely balanced scales out
of their favour.
This topic is a bit of a
downer, but it’s also a celebra-
tion of the ecological health
that RMNP enjoys today. It
also points to the need for
maintaining ecological con-
nections between wild areas.
Let’s keep these natural con-
nections in place in southern
Manitoba and we’ll keep our
healthy wildlife populations.
Nature notes: Point Pelee Na-
tional Park’s Festival of Birds
is underway, so thousands

flooding the Park’s trails at
5:30 am daily.
As I mentioned last year
at this time, it’s almost more
fun to watch the birders rath-
er than the birds. Almost, but
not quite.

Pavilion Art Classes Kick Off With a Bang

of workshops for all ages.
She was chosen to facili-
tate the art class after Marl-
ies Soltys, of Inspire Studio,
attended one of Glover’s
workshops in Winnipeg
last fall. When people saw
the drum that Soltys made
in November, she received
so much admiration on
it that she just knew the
workshop would be a huge
success in Minnedosa.
Glover brought the
yellow cedar rings that
were used in the project,
as well as the hides. The
group had to measure the
diametre of the rings and
drill holes into the cedar
so that they could sew
the hide onto the cedar

rings. They had to make
By HillAry Miller The first session was to learn the week’s art proj- drill holes for the handles
on the drums as well. Af-
ter the lunch break, they
sewed their hides onto the
cedar rings with coloured
sinew. The drums then sat
for four or five days to dry,
at which point they were
completed.
Soltys felt that the
afternoon class went re-
ally well. “Everybody re-
ally liked their drums in
the end, and there were
lots of giggles everywhere,”
she said. “It was a great
way to spend the day.” She
noted that Glover is won-
derful at explaining all of
the steps, leaving people
confident in what they are
doing. Glover sources only
high quality materials for
her classes, something on
which she prides herself.
In the workshop, Soltys
added that participants
were given some insight
into First Nations cul-
ture and learned so much
about the process of drum
making and the care of the
drums once they are made.
Soltys was happy to
see the Pavilion art classes
start on such a high note
and commented that there
is no way to not enjoy your-
self when you are doing art
at the Pavilion, looking out
over the lake. While she
has not yet finalized her
full schedule of classes for
the summer, she said that
some upcoming classes
will include mandela
drawing, unicorn spit, and
alcohol ink on fire.
