Town Working With Progress Being Made With

User Groups to Develop

come of better efficiency, less overlapping and less vol-

unteer burnout.
The idea was born when Town of Minnedosa Gen-
eral Government Services Committee Councillors Jim
Dowsett, Grant Butler and Mark Blais were reviewing
the grant applications received annual by user groups
requesting funding from the Town. During the review of
these grant applications, they noticed some overlapping,
for example, grant requests from numerous user groups
of the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre grounds to
cover their own grass cutting expenses for their portion
of the MREC property. Another concern discussed was
Minnedosa’s high turn-over of recreation directors.
Local recreation user groups were approached and
a joint meeting was held to introduce the idea of a com-
bined recreation governance committee. This umbrella
committee would be made up of representatives from
each of the user groups involved, however, the individual
boards (soccer, baseball, rugby, hockey, etc.) would re-
main under this main umbrella.

Loss of a business owner…
The Minnedosa business district lost a long-time
business owner last weekend when Sharon Gwyer, of Sha-
ron’s Town and Country Insurance and Destinations Plus,
passed away. The Tribune joins the community in mourn-
ing Sharon’s loss and sends condolences to Sharon’s fam-
ily and friends.
Lend a helping hand…
Former Minnedosan, Alysa Burton and her boy-
friend, lost their Dauphin home to fire last Thursday. In
addition to the house and contents, a number of beloved
pets were also lost in the blaze. A fundraising account has
been established at Minnedosa Credit Union for anyone
wishing to assist the young couple as they start over. Gift
cards are also welcome and can be dropped off with Lori
or Paige Crooks.
40 years ago…
It is not often that The Minnedosa Tribune has fea-
tured a non-local story as it’s front page feature, but in
February 1980 a photo of the iconic Prince Edward Hotel
in Brandon being demolished graced our front page. The
handsome, six-storey limestone and brick structure was
one of the most luxurious hotels on the prairies in its hey-
day. With over 100 guest rooms, the majestic hotel closed
in 1976, two years before I was born. Although I never had
a chance to step foot in this iconic Brandon hotel, it is a
building I have admired through photos and stories from
those who had been there. I consider myself fortunate to
have a few Prince Eddy items in my possession, including
a handsome wooden desk which sits in my home office.
Brandon’s historic Prince Edward Hotel was demolished
on February 24th, 1980.

Looking Into the Future
By DARRYL HOLYK
D uring the recent Community Economic De-
velopment training session, participants were
asked to look into the future and brainstorm what
they envisioned Minnedosa being like in 20 years.
This exercise got me thinking, let’s push that line
and look forward further into the future. What will
Minnedosa look like in 50 years? God willing, I hope
to still be around and will be in my early 90s in the
year 2070. As a senior citizen of this community, what
changes will this hometown boy have seen in this 90
plus years? Looking back over the 41 years I have al-
ready lived here, I have already seen a great deal of
changes in Minnedosa – both good and bad. So, what
do I expect Minnedosa to be like in 2070?
I envision Minnedosa continuing to be a year-
round destination with recreation and attractions for
both local residents and out-of-town visitors. A big
part of this, especially during the summer months, re-
volves around our lake. Currently there are issues and
concerns regarding the health and quality of our lake
and for good reason. Our lake is most likely our great-
est asset and we must work to maintain it as a healthy
environment. An unhealthy lake can spell disaster to
a community.
Minnedosa’s population has not seen any huge
jump one way or the other for a number of decades.
Minnedosa has pretty much held its own and will
hopefully continue to do so. As long as we can still
attract young families to live in our community,
Minnedosa should still have a decent education sys-
tem and schools, although they may be somewhat
different, in 50 years. I also envision that we will con-
tinue to have events and attractions such as Fun Fest,
Rockin’ the Fields and Skate the Lake, maybe not the
same entities but something similar.
I also predict Minnedosa may see some negative
changes in the next five decades. I doubt that we will
still have our own local hospital but hopefully will at
least have a nearby regional health care centre closer
than Brandon. I also wonder if we will still have our
own personal care facility or will this be phased out
leaving our elderly or disabled residents having to re-
locate to a larger centre for assisted living needs?
I fear that our volunteer base will dwindle – it al-
ready has from years ago and I see this trend continu-
ing. With that will come the loss of some or our local

service clubs. Maybe the Minnedosa of 2070 will only
have one large community service club or just rely
on the Minnedosa District Foundation to supply the
required funding for local projects and sponsorships.
I think we will still have our community foundation,
which will continue to grow and give back more and
more to our community.
Personally, I think one of the biggest changes
most small rural communities may see in the next
50 years will be their business districts. Minnedosa’s
business community has certainly seen its share
of changes in the last 50 years and I see even more
ahead. In 2070, will Minnedosa still have two banks,
two hardwares, two gas stations, two insurance agen-
cies, two grocery stores and a local weekly newspa-
per? Sadly, I don’t think all will survive. Competition
for small town businesses, especially privately owned
“mom and pop” operations has long been a struggle.
While people still travel to large urban centres to
shop at big box stores, I think any small town busi-
ness district’s biggest competition right now is online
shopping. I was surprised by the large quantity of
Amazon parcels that went though our local post of-
fice this Christmas season. I would estimate that here,
in Minnedosa alone, hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars were spent through online shopping during the
Christmas 2019 shopping season. That worries me
greatly as I fear for the impact it has on our local busi-
nesses. In 50 years, will people even leave their homes
to shop? Will a business have any foot traffic? Maybe
businesses will have to find ways to offer their prod-
ucts online with home delivery service?
While I would like to sit here with my head in the
sand and say it can’t happen here and our local busi-
nesses will be okay but, I look back 50 or more years
for a reality check. Back then, Minnedosa’s neigh-
bouring communities such as Franklin, Clanwilliam,
Bethany, Basswood, Newdale and Moore Park all had
higher population’s, schools and thriving business
districts. Times change and not always for the benefit
of a community, its businesses or residents.
Nothing would please me more than being in my
90s, residing just down the street in the Minnedosa
Personal Care Home and having a young hotshot
reporter from the 187-year-old Minnedosa Tribune
come across this editorial and reach out to me for
comment on it and me being able to say, “I am genu-

Leap Day. The mourn-
ing seems to evaporate
and drift from day today.
Such has been the case
with beloved Yogini from
Minnedosa, Pat Graham.
She left her family, friends
and her devoted and dedi-
cated yoga students and
fellow guides on Leap Day
2016. She had a brain tu-
mour. She practiced any-
way, and shared her glow
until the end. And then
she was gone. Her beau-
tiful Dancing Fish Yoga
Studio stayed active for a
while, but eventually, it too
moved into new hands.
Through the years,
her students continued
es to this day.
A few months ago,
there was laughter in a lo-
cal yoga practice when af-
ter practice, a yogi tried to
clean her mat with Pat’s
mat mister, which was per-
petually wobbly and only
worked some-of-the-time.
It was a reminder of the
days at Dancing Fish.
“I’m not sure why she
never replaced that spray
bottle,” laughed Jean Ole-
nick, one of Pat’s students
and now an Iyengar Yoga
Specialist who regularly of-
fers classes in Minnedosa,
Mexico, and formerly in
Rapid City.
Almost all of the peo-
ple who practice yoga in
Minnedosa, at some point,
practiced with Pat.
“I stopped completely

had a real feeling of togeth-
erness and acceptance,”
she said. “I knew of Pat,
that she owned The Castle
B&B, and I thought it was
magical when I heard that
she passed away on Leap
Day.”
On that day of laughter
after practice, three-and-a
half years after Pat’s pas-
sage, McLennan suggested
that there could be a spe-
cial practice, to remember
Pat, on this coming Leap
Day.
“There were some
tears at that suggestion,”
said McLennan. “A few
people got choked up.
There aren’t many people
in Minnedosa who prac-
tice yoga, that didn’t know
and love her.”
The idea stuck, and

Celebrating I Love to Read Month
On Tuesday, February 4th, Kindergarten to
Grade Six students at Tanner’s Crossing School
were treated to a visit by some celebrity readers
as part of the school’s events for I Love to Read
month. Brandon Wheat Kings players, Johnny
Lambos and Chad Nychuk (pictured)spent time
reading and visiting with the students.
By KAREN MITCHELL
I Love to Read Month is
a celebration held each
year during the month
of February, to  encour-
age reading, writing, and
sharing in the joy of lit-
eracy.  This year’s I Love
to Read Month theme is
“Books for a Better World.”
This theme encourages
readers to start taking
steps towards creating a
better world for everyone.
There are several ben-
efits to reading and from a
young age most can recall
snuggling up to a parent,
family member of friend,
listening to wonderful sto-
ries being read. The expe-
rience is magical and every
child should experience
that throughout their lives.
The following are some
benefits to reading or be-
ing read to:
Mental Stimulation
- Studies have shown that
staying mentally stimulat-
ed can slow the progress of
(or possibly even prevent)
Alzheimer’s and Demen-
tia, since keeping your
brain active and engaged
prevents it from losing
power. Just like any other
muscle in the body, the
brain requires exercise to

keep it strong and healthy,
so the phrase “use it or lose
it” is particularly apt when
it comes to your mind. 
Stress Reduc-
tion - No matter how
much  stress  you have at
work, in your personal re-
lationships, or countless
other issues faced in daily
life, it all just slips away
when you lose yourself in a
great story.
Knowledge - Every-
thing you read fills your

head with new bits of in-
formation, and you never
know when it might come
in handy down the road.
The more knowledge you
have, the better-equipped
you are to tackle the chal-
lenges you may face.
Vocabulary Expan-
sion - This goes with the
above topic: the more
you read, the more words
you gain exposure to, and
they’ll inevitably make
their way into your every-
day vocabulary.  Being ar-
ticulate and well-spoken
is a great benefit in any
profession, and knowing
that you can speak with
self-confidence can be an
enormous boost to your
self-esteem.
Better Writing Skills
- Exposure to published,
well-written work has a
positive effect on your own
writing, as observing the
writing styles of other au-
thors will invariably influ-
ence your own work.
Memory Improve-
ment - When you read a
book, you have to remem-
ber an assortment of char-
acters, their backgrounds,
ambitions, history, and nu-
ances, as well as the vari-
ous arcs and sub-plots that
weave their way through
every story. That’s a fair bit
to remember, but brains
are marvellous things
and can remember these
things with relative ease.
Amazingly enough,  every
new memory you create
forges new synapses (brain
pathways)and strengthens
existing ones, which assists
in short-term memory  re-
call as well as stabilizing
moods.
Stronger Analytical
Thinking Skills - Have
you ever read an amazing
mystery novel, and solved
the mystery in your mind
before finishing the book?
If so, you were able to put
critical and analytical
thinking to work by taking
note of all the details pro-
vided and sorting them out
to determine “whodunnit”.
Improved Focus and
Concentration - In our in-
ternet-crazed world, atten-
tion is drawn in a million
different directions at once
as we multi-task through
every day. In a single five-
minute span, the average
person will divide their
time between working on a
task, checking their email,
chatting with a couple of
people, keeping an eye on
social media, monitoring
their smartphone, and in-
teracting with co-workers.
This type of behaviour
causes stress levels to rise,
and  lowers our productiv-
ity. When you read a book,
all of your attention is fo-
cused on the story—the
rest of the world just falls
away, and you can im-
merse yourself in every
fine detail you’re absorb-
ing.
Tranquility - In ad-
dition to the relaxation
that accompanies reading
a good book, it’s possible
that the subject you read
about can bring about im-
mense inner peace and
tranquility. Reading  spiri-
tual texts  can lower blood
pressure and bring about
an immense sense of calm,
while  reading self-help
books  has been shown
to help people suffering
from certain mood disor-
ders  and mild mental ill-
nesses.
Free Entertainment -
Though many of us like to
buy books so we can an-
notate them and dog-ear
pages for future reference,
11
they can be quite pricey.
For low-budget reading
entertainment, check for
bargain priced books at
yard sales, thrift shops and
book sales. You can visit
your local library and bask
in the glory of the countless
books available there for
free. Libraries have books
on every subject imagin-
able, and since they rotate
their stock and constantly
get new books, you’ll never
run out of reading materi-
als.
There is a reading
genre for every literate
person on the planet, and
whether your interest is
classical literature, poetry,
fashion magazines, biog-
raphies, religious texts,
young adult books, self-
help guides, street lit, or
romance novels, there’s
something out there to
capture your curiosity and
imagination. Step away
from your computer for a
little while, crack open a
book, and replenish your
soul for a little while.
