ess than a month after the Minnedosa Run 4NF, eight local runners ed over 2,000 others in the half marathon event (13.1 miles) at the Manitoba Marathon in Winnipeg on Sunday, June 19th. The eight Minnedosa runners were part of a 50 person marathon group running to raise money and awareness of neurofibromatosis for the provincial group, MBNF. The group was one of the 2016 marathon’s charity partners and had an awareness booth set up at the marathon expo Friday and Saturday. Jeff Malfait was the first local runner to cross the fi nish line with a time of 1:57:00 followed by Troy Gregorash with 2:01:45. Other local MBNF team runners included Kelsey Willis with a time of 2:19:05, Alyse Richards with 2:23:40, Angela Ferguson with 2:23:40, Michelle McKay with 2:28:12, Tracy Gregorash with 2:44:12 and Karen Holyk with 3:11:14. MBNF Executive Director, Tracy Gregorash said that while pledges are still coming in, she is expecting fundraising from the marathon to reach close to $6,000. “We have $3,308 with online pledges and the Selkirk crew said they have $2,000 between their paper pledges. The pledges I have so far from Minnedosa and the expo is $405,” stated Tracy. Of the 50 Manitoba Marathon participants wearing blue Run4NF shirts, they were fairly evenly divided between the variety of events at the marathon. While the Minnedosa marathoners ran in the half marathon, other NF runners participated in the Super Run, 10k, relay and full marathon.

50 People Attend Clinic Meeting By RYAN THORPE

O

n Wednesday, June 15th, approximately 50 people came out to the Minnedosa Community Conference Centre for a public meeting on the Dr. Khandelwal Primary Care Centre. Individuals from the Minnedosa Primary Care Centre Committee took turns addressing the community and explaining various aspects of the unfolding project, after which they fielded questions posed by the audience. Speakers included Mayor Ray Orr, Dr. Daniel Onyshko and Fundraising Committee Chair John Mendrikis. “The new clinic itself will be quite attractive to medical practitioners,” said Dr. Khandelwal. “It really is a good idea and is

a last resort to try and attract new practitioners. I just didn’t expect it to be named after me, but was very humbled and honoured.” The estimated cost for the project is $2.5 million and the RM’s of Oakview, Harrison Park, MintoOdanah and Minnedosa have committed $810,000. The committee has now reached the fundraising stage and is seeking donations to proceed with construction. The fundraising goal sits at $1.1 million and the committee has currently raised $302,500 in donations from the Minnedosa Foundation, Minnedosa and District Health Foundation, Royal Canadian Legion Hugh Dyer Branch #138, the Minnedosa Rotary Club, as well as a number of individual donors.

Committee and the audience alike floated possible fundraising ideas, including a lottery of the sort pursued by Neepawa during their efforts to build a new primary care centre. Mayor Orr said that the Minnedosa committee has met with individuals from Neepawa in order to gain insight into their experience building a new primary care centre. “We have met with them a number of times and they’ve been very helpful,” said MayorOrr. “They’ve come over here and met with us and they’ve advised us and we’ve spoken to them about the pros and cons of their approach. “We’re going to run things a bit different than they did, but we’ve tried to learn as much as we can about

what other people have done right and what other people have done wrong.” Charitable tax receipts will be issued for all donations and anyone seeking further information can visit the Minnedosa Primary Care Centre website, or the fundraising committee directly. When asked what feature of the new facility would be most attractive to new medical practicioners, Dr. Onyshko said, “I think the modern nature of the new clinic, the fact that the layout will be large, the facilities will be clean and sound proof and it will have electronic records. It will be a modern, clean, new building…The location will be more convenient and I think it will ultimately result in a more collegial and ive environment.”

Councillors in attendance included MacDowall, Skatch and Saler. Councillors Luker and Taylor were absent. The meeting opened with a public hearing dealing with an application to amend the zoning by-law. Bruce Kehler was in attendance representing a Brandon development firm interested in constructing two fourplex housing units on the piece of property down the hill, to the north of the

Minnedosa RCMP detachment. Currently, the property includes an older one and one half storey home which would be demolished to make way for the new development. As the property was zoned as “RS” for Residential Single Family, an application had been submitted asking for rezoning to “RM” for Residential Multiple Family.

Committee In Negotiations With Over Station By DARRYL HOLYK

N

ine of Minnedosa Heritage Inc. (originally the Save Our Station committee) met on the evening of Tuesday, June 14th to discuss an offer from Canadian Pacific to reimburse the committee for the money and work spent on Minnedosa historic railway station. The committee, under the assumption that the station had been donated to them by , invested over $100,000 in the building on exterior work to secure it from deteriorating into a state of disrepair. While there was a presentation and public handshake from a representative, Ed Greenburg, “presenting” the Minnedosa station to the Save Our Station committee during the December 9th, 2005 Holiday Train visit to Minnedosa, no actual documentation was ever signed. After a great deal of volunteer labour funded by public donations and various grants and years of negotiating possible lease deals with , the local station committee finally chose to cut its losses after showed interest in once again using the Minnedosa station for its local operations. Before walking away from the station, the local committee approached asking for some financial reimbursement for the work and money they spent on protecting the building. This included a great deal of exterior work including brick, window and roof repairs and the installation of new cedar shingles. At Tuesday night’s meeting, the committee reviewed ’s offer of $75,000 reimbursement. The nine committee in attendance discussed the offer and decided to counter offer at $110,000. In a recorded vote, all , with the exception of Ken Harris, voted in favour of the $110,000 counter offer. Mr. Harris voted against the offer indicating he believes should reimburse the local committee at a figure much higher than $110,000.

By prestime, Wednesday, had rejected the $110,000 counter offer and the local station committee will be meeting again to discuss its next move. The current Minnedosa station was build in 1910 to replace the original railway station which was built by the Manitoba and North Western Railway Company in 1884. The original wood frame station suffered severe fire damage on two occasions before being completely destroyed by a blaze in 1910. Immediately following the fire, local railway operations were conducted out of three derelict box cars until the new, current brick station was completed and ready for

to fall into a state of disrepair. Just three years earlier, in 1992, the Minnedosa station was designated a Heritage Railway Station under the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Shortly after the station was vacated by , a local group of volunteers, then known as the Minnedosa District Heritage Foundation stressed the Town Council of the day to try and obtain the station from for restoration so that it could be preserved and enjoyed for generations to come. In 2001, Town Council designated the station a Municipal Heritage Site. Two years later, a Save Our Station open house was held at the station and saw Photo by Darryl Holyk

While enger service for Minnedosa came to an end in 1962, continued to use the station for its offices until 1995.

While various uses for the historic station were considered, including a local tourist centre or possible office space for organizations such as the Community Development Corporation and Chamber of Commerce, the only use that was secured for the building was to use part of it as a Minnedosa Railroad Museum.

You Only Get ONE Thing Living in Paradise By

“Ah, yes. You’re the wrestler.” Over the past twenty years I have grown accustomed to people I meet asg a simple identity to me. Whether they do it because it’s unique and easy to , or because it creates a vision of a stereotype that signals I’m easy to dismiss, I’ve come to accept that this is just the way it is. As a general rule, when it comes to the general public and ing acquaintances, you only get to be one thing. It’s a comfort thing, perhaps that people can assign a label and define who’s who in their social and professional circle and it keeps everything in its neat and tidy box. Of course, if we peel back the layers a little bit, folks might discover that I’m more than just ‘the wrestler’. They might discover that I’m a published author, an award winning historian, a newspaper columnist, a father, a husband, a guy with a certificate in University management. But none of these things go together, or fi t that narrow definition where folks think that I best fit. As an individual, it’s okay for me to work with such a restrictive view, as I have the opportunity to market myself beyond that scope and enlighten those I deal with about what I’m all about. The case is much diff erent when you try to defi ne a community. Whether we realize it or not, we are just as particular in our classification of the towns and cities that we’re aware of. During my ring career, I appeared in 228 cities across North America, plus incidental travel through hundreds more. My impression of those places is in some cases as vivid today as it was when I visited, defi ning if I would go back again, or steer clear – urging others to do the same. When it comes to Minnedosa, we get ONE word, one theme to entice people to check us out. Before we’ve even spoken a word, we need to that many of the people we meet have already heard of us and they hold one pre-conceived idea . Do you know what that is?

thing” is our beach. It’s the beach that draws them here – whether in the summer to soak up the sun, get out on the water or lounge in the sand, or in winter for the ice fi shing, snowmobiling or pond hockey. Our lake defines our identity. We could try to broaden the scope, but why would we do that? Our identity is a positive one. But what we must do is invest in that feature to make it the true showcase that first time visitors would come to expect when they are coming to find out if our beach lives up to the hype. What does that look like? Well, it starts with putting some action into the items that have already been identified by our residents – a sturdy and appropriate boat launch, a modern attractive playground, the addition of recycling cans to accompany the garbage receptacles along the beach, and the addition of town information/way-finding signage to entice visitors to leave the beach and check out what else we have to offer while they are here. Of course, there’s the Pavilion … but that’s a topic for another day. Our beach doesn’t have the opportunity to speak for itself, to do its own marketing, or to speak to any shortcomings when visitors arrive. Instead, it is our words and our actions that will defi ne our community and promote our attraction as the showcase that stands up to the reputation that it has built over generations. We only get ONE thing … it’s up to us to make it great. Manitoba’s Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk.

Now That The Manor Is Empty What’s Next? By RYAN THORPE

relationally we want to make sure it has comfort level for our tenants in the social housing management program and that it suits the needs of our clients.” One former tenant of the building – all of whom were relocated by May 31st – is Bill Simmons, who is currently living in Manitoba Housing in Brandon. Simmons spent seven years living in Townview Manor and describes the building as a community within the community of Minnedosa itself. He says that he enjoyed his time in the building, particularly the people and was ultimately disappointed to leave. “I’d been around Minnedosa all my life. I guess you could say it was a shock or whatever, but you have to accept these things. Th ey wanted to do a renovation and they couldn’t do it with people in the building, so I understood that alright. “But a lot of them weren’t very happy. A lot of these (tenants) were elderly people and it upset them, if you uproot people at that age, it’s not so good… it was upsetting their lifestyle.” Not all former residents of Townview

anitoba Housing will tender the Townview Manor restoration project this July. The exact cost of the restoration will not be known until after it is tendered, which is the process where a contractor is selected through bidding, but in total the project is expected to take 16 months. “It’s a very large construction project with some alterations to the existing configurations of the building.” said John Snezyk, a representative of Manitoba Housing. Snezyk says that the building fell under the criteria for Manitoba Housing’s capital improvement plan based on the fact that it was an old building that had components which were not up to modern standards. “It’s based on the capital improvement needs of the building. We’re removing walls and changing the layout of the building, so it’s a deep construction project that was planned for sometime,” said Snezyk. “We want to revitalize the asset and make sure its construction fits today’s standards, to make sure it’s environmentally friendly,

Manor have taken the news, which was delivered to the tenants over the Christmas holidays, in stride like Simmons. Hector Cameron, who lived in the building for eight years, says he was disappointed with how the relocation process was handled, as he feels it was unfair to move tenants of that age to other communities and says there was a lack of from Manitoba Housing. “It wasn’t what they did, maybe we did have to move out, but they could have helped people a lot better,” said Cameron. “They could have helped

older people change their addresses and know what was going on.They never came to see whether or not anybody needed anything. If you needed anything, if you wanted anything, you had to holler at them and get them on the phone, some tried and the phone was disconnected. They couldn’t get ahold of them.” Snezyk says that 24 former tenants were relocated to Manitoba Housing units in other communities and three found accommodations on their own. Manitoba Housing covered all moving costs. “It’s based on avail-

ability of accommodation and the needs of the tenant. We’re in very close communication with our tenants that resided in the building, there is an ongoing dialogue with our tenant-service co-ordinator and our property managers with the folks who were being moved and the transition went very smooth,” said Snezyk. Simmons says that despite the fact he will have fi rst opportunity to return to the building after renovations are complete, he’s ultimately unsure if he will choose to do so. While he would like to move back to Minnedosa and return

to the building he called home, he’s unsure if he wants to move again in the near future. “I’m thinking about it,” said Simmons, “but I still have to decide. I don’t want to wait two years and then have my life uprooted again once I’ve settled into one place… It was very good, I had no problems while I was there, but the time came and I had to move, so I said whatever will be will be, just accept things for the way they are and maybe I’ll come back or maybe I won’t.” Cameron, on the other hand, is certain that he won’t be returning to the building after the construction project has wrapped up. He is one of the few former tenants to fi nd accommodations in Minnedosa and says his son currently helps to take care of him. “I was determined not to go out of town,” said Simmons, “I wasn’t about to move to any strange place. Th e thing I miss about Townview Manor is visiting, there were lots of people to visit within the building, but I won’t move back. “I want to forget about it. When I think about it (the relocation), I just get mad. You know, we weren’t treated very fairly.”

rairie Mountain Health (PMH) is beginning a process to establish a “Declaration of Patient Values”. The Declaration of Patient Values is meant to refl ect the values of those who receive health services within PMH region as well as those who are care givers, family and other who our patients, residents and clients. Values are people’s ‘inner standards’ and in this sense, assists PMH with what is important and meaningful going forward. PMH wants to better understand what our residents, health partners and stakeholders value most within our health system. From now until July 15th PMH is asking patients/clients and all of our

stakeholders to take a few minutes and complete the Patient Values survey. The survey asks participants what values are important to them when they are seeking services from any PMH program or service. For example, how important is it that: “Health care providers take their time and do not rush me” or “I feel like a member of my health care team, because my input is listened to and valued.” The region will gather all the and begin work on drafting the Declaration of Patient Values. “Our goal with developing this Declaration of Patient Values is to put patients fi rst in the delivery of care – recognizing that patients are to have a say and a voice in the care they receive from any of our health facilities, sites and

600 Attend Weekend Jamboree By RYAN THORPE

Photos by Ryan Thorpe

Above, Young attendees of the Little Valley Jamboree “dig for gold”.

n the weekend of June 18th and 19th the annual Little Valley Jamboree took place in Erickson. Held at the fair grounds, the event saw over 600 people come out to the music festival to enjoy live entertainment, food vendors and a silent auction. “The music is always great,” said Debbie Luke, an Erickson resident. “We love the family atmosphere and every year they seem to add a little bit more for the kids, which is great. “The music is all volunteered. It’s really amazing they can get so many people to donate their music, their time, their work and it’s great to see. It’s a great festival to come to and take part in.” The Little Valley Jam-

boree was started in 1998 by Rod and Evelyn Lewandoski and has been going steady ever since. “The main idea was to raise a little bit of money for the community clubs that we were involved with and to help children, as well as have a fun day of music and entertainment for people,” said Evelyn Lewandoski. The aim of the music festival is to raise , awareness and funds for special needs children in Manitoba. Th is year two children were selected as recipients: three-year-old Ryder Fenty who has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, and Maci Kerr, age two and living with Spina Bifida. Lewandoski said that although the turnout was down this year – which she believes is related to

the Garth Brooks concert in Winnipeg on the same weekend and which she intends to write Brooks a letter about – she still hopes a large amount of money will have been raised for Fenty and Kerr. Th e total amount raised over the weekend will not be known for about a month. “It was a very good weekend,” said Lewandoski, “it was just fantastic. Th e weather cooperated… the music was absolutely incredible, the bands were just excellent. “Th e volunteers are all very important and the people who donate prizes for our auction are exceptionally important. The volunteers, the donors and the town itself… they’re all very helpful to us and we couldn’t do it without everyone.”

Honouring Glennis Scott

“We’re Gonna Shoot The Mayor!”

O

n Saturday, June 18th, the bleachers were filled at the Minnedosa Mavericks game as the senior field was named in honour of Manitoba baseball great Glennis Scott. Scott took to the pitchers mound, as he had done so many times throughout his illustrious career, and delivered a strike to his older brother Gladwyn behind the plate. It was a fitting start for the newly renovated diamond, which will be known from now on as Glennis Scott Field. “I really didn’t know much about what was going to happen today until I got here. It was a treat. I played a lot of ball with my brother and he was a pretty good player. Our parents were really ive.” Before the game, representatives from the city of Minnedosa, Baseball Manitoba, Minnedosa Baseball and the Scott

family took to the field to deliver a short speech in honour of Scott. The message each reiterated was this: the honour could not have been given to a more fitting recipient. Before the cutting of the ribbon, Scott took the field to speak about the original construction of the diamonds in the 1990’s, his appreciation of the honour being bestowed upon him, as well as his career. When asked about the highlight of his playing he said one thing stood out above all the rest: playing for Team Canada. “It’s an unbelievable feeling… I was out on the mound and then they played the national anthem,” said Scott, as he teared up, paused for a moment and smacked his fist over his heart. “That gets to you.” The Mavericks went on to rout the Plumas Pirates ten to two in the

evenings’ match, but the highlight of the night was certainly the dedication of the Field to Glennis Scott. When asked about his reaction to it all, Scott said, “It’s almost bewildering, it’s very humbling to be honoured in this way. I guess now that it’s over it’s starting to sink in and I really appreciate it. There were a lot of people who worked just as hard towards getting the diamonds up as I did, so that’s a reason I’m pretty humbled… Somebody told me I should go out and buy a lottery ticket.”

innedosa Mayor Ray Orr may be counting down the days to FunFest weekend with a little bit of dread.  On Saturday, July 9th, the Mayor is scheduled to face a firing squad and it’s anticipated that it will draw a large audience of onlookers. In preparation for the Colour Run which will be hosted in Minnedosa in August, the service clubs responsible for the firsttime event thought that FunFest provided a great outlet to demonstrate the paint cannons that will be used for the family friend-

ly affair.  Partnering with FunFest, it was decided that in lieu of a dunk tank this year, patrons at the popular summer festival will have the opportunity to load up a paint cannon and shoot the mayor. This activity is open to the public and five dollars offers up the opportunity to blast the mayor three times with paint.  The firing range will be set up inside the Minnedosa Arena on Fun Fest Saturday afternoon.  As of press time, there is no word if any other of Council will be facing the firing squad as well on that date. Other new attractions

to the FunFest schedule this summer include two performances by Dr. Von Houligan’s Carnival of Calamities on Friday afternoon and evening.  The carnival features fire breathers, sword jugglers, and other curiosities not often seen in these parts.  This just adds to the growing slate of popular attractions scheduled for the three day event which will include the annual parade, street market, evening socials and much more. Minnedosa’s annual FunFest takes place from July 8th to 10th and the excitement is already in the air.

Gramma “Bev” I recently read your solution for a badly burnt pan. Something that works really well is lemon juice. Just pour lemon juice into the pan and put it on the stove to heat up. As it is heating, use a heat proof spatula or lifter and start scraping. As you scrape the black stuff just starts to lift. A couple of years ago my mom had a very black, burnt copper bottom pan that she was using. I tried the lemon juice trick and soon the pan was good as new!

The sticker is right there, on the right. But to be able to read it, with bifocals, required some major efforts on our part. We did it, and after we were done, my brain clicked in - I have a cell phone with a camera, and it just requires one of us to bend over and click a photo. If it doesn’t work, erase and do another one or use a digital camera. Plus if numbers had been diffi cult to read, we could have transferred the photo to our computer.
