Jim and Lynn Burgess along with Rick and Sherry Burgess have been chosen as Honourary Parade

Marshals for this year’s Fun Fest Parade hosted by the Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce. Th e cou-ples were chosen for a number of reasons, fi rst and foremost in honour of the Burgess family’s local heritage in Minnedosa. Th e Burgesses were one of our community’s pi-oneer families. Th eir arrival in the area dates back to 1880 with Jim’s great grandfather, Sam Burgess and his wife Ann. Sam’s son, Joseph was the fi rst Burgess to have his name associated with the fam-ily business, most recently known as Burgess Qual-ity Foods. Th e business was the only Minnedosa business to remain in the same family for over 120 years being passed down through four generations of Burgesses. In addition to the long standing family and business connection to our community, members of the Burgess family have always been active com-munity members and volunteers in various capaci-ties over many years. In addition to being a former business owner in our community, Jim served six years as Mayor of Minnedosa as well as a number of years as a Town Councillor and School Trustee. Th rough their family business, the Burgess-es have provided sponsorships and donations to numerous fundraisers and community events throughout the decades. Th e list of support they have provided in our community could fi ll a large book. Th is community-minded family is certainly worthy of recognition as Honourary Parade Mar-shals in the upcoming Fun Fest Parade. Be sure to make a lot of noise and show your appreciation for these true community heroes as they pass by on the parade route on the morning of Saturday, July 11th!

The Minnedosa Drama Club presented its sec-

ond annual sketch night on Th ursday and Friday, June 11th and 12th at the Minnedosa United Church Hall. Th is year’s skit, Clini-cal Chaos, was written by Minnedosa’s own Wyonne Baribeau and featured a number of local connec-tions. Th e play takes place in a community medical clinic attached to a hospi-tal. A group of locals meet and hang out at the clinic for coff ee and gossip as Chipperfi elds is closed for renovations. Other local connections to Minnedosa in the play include men-

tions of Cornerstone Grill, the 50+ Centre and the well known “Kingston” family – a rip off of our own King-don family! Th e comedy was di-rected by Mary Dalton and featured a cast of Brit-tany MacDonald as Sarah, Dawn Doerksen as Anna-belle, Susan Nelson as Hel-en, Bethannie Lancoure as Dr. Patterson, Marl-ies Soltys as Dr. Killdeer (the veterinarian), Joyce Turner-Cox as Dorothy, Dylan Woodcock as Brad, Shaleen Baribeau as Julie, Jamie Willis as Sam, Jacki Birch as Nurse Culligan, Greg Kirk as George, Flow Anderson as the para-medic and Art Dalton as silent but hilarious patient,

Jeremiah. Th e skit opened with the cast entering the stage by walking through the crowd, which was close to a full house. Half of the play was performed before an intermission in which all enjoyed cookies, re-freshments and mingling with the cast before the fi -nal half hour of the show. Th e Minnedosa Dra-ma Club is now gearing up for its third annual fall production and dinner theatre. Auditions for this year’s murder mystery, “Th e Game’s Afoot” were held Wednesday evening at MCI. Th e show is expect-ed to return in November with another three-night run.

First Goal reached… Minnedosa EMS has reached its fi rst fundraising goal of $28,000 to purchase one of two power lift stretchers. Th is special stretcher reduces the risk of injury to para-medics in the fi eld while also providing patient care and comfort. Fundraising continues for the second piece of important equipment. Donations can be made through Minnedosa EMS, the local Rotary Club, Minnedosa Foundation of the Health District Auxiliary.

Hometown Manitoba… Over 100 projects to beautify and restore Main Streets and public places will benefi t from $225,000 in provincial funding through the Hometown Manitoba program. Th e largest grant in our immediate area is $1,325 to the Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District for community tree planting. Other local recipi-ents of the program include Minnedosa Bowl for exteri-or painting and signage, Derek Burton Dual Zones Ltd. for exterior painting and the Rapid City Parent Group for its ongoing playground project.

Early deadline… Wednesday is our regular layout and design day and being that next Wednesday is Canada Day, our offi ce will be closed. As a result of this, we will be making next week’s Tribune on Tuesday, June 30th which means we will have an early deadline for advertising and news sub-missions. Please have your material for the Friday, July 3rd edition in to our offi ce on Monday, June 29th. Happy Canada Day everyone!

Schools out… Congratulations to all high school graduates in the Rolling River School Division. Meet the grads of Minnedosa and Erickson Collegiate and learn who this year’s grad award recipients were in our special com-memorative grad section included in today’s Tribune. Students in other grades have one day of school left on Monday and then its summer holidays. Hopefully all staff and students have a great summer vacation and before you know it it will be Back to School time!

Since 1908 the voice of Manitoba Gov-

ernment Telephones/Manitoba Telephone System was the ‘Op-erator’. Just about every community, large or small in Manitoba had an offi ce with a group of people working as oper-ators, the voice of MTS, connecting customers to family, friends, busi-nesses, and emergency personnel. Th e story of the ‘Operator’ started in the late 1800’s. Did you know that boys were the fi rst operators? Th ey had been telegraph opera-tors so it was assumed that they would be best for the position of voice op-erators. It didn’t work out very well as they proved to be rude and abusive to the customers and very un-disciplined. Ladies worked out much better, as they were more soft spoken and calm. Th e fi rst operator in Manitoba was Miss Ida Coates who was said to have a “voice with a smile”. Over the last 100 plus years that “voice with a smile” was heard in almost every community in Manitoba. Th e fi rst operators were the information links in the community, deaths, births, weather, sports scores and any important news could be obtained by crank-ing the phone. Operators were very strictly moni-tored, worked long hours, and when they married they had to give up their positions. A strict dress code was followed which was modifi ed over the years but even in the 1960’s the operators had to wear a dress, no pants, no matter what hours they worked or what the weather conditions were. When pants were al-lowed in the 1970’s it had to be a suit with the jacket a certain length. Th rough all of this many young wom-en worked as operators and enjoyed the interaction with people from all walks of life and in many diff er-ent parts of our world. Whatever was happening in the community the operator was often the fi rst con-

tact. Many of these former

operators still live in the small rural com-munities across Mani-toba, maybe your grandmother, an aunt, or the neighbour down the street. If you asked them what it was like to be an operator I am sure you will hear a lot of very interesting sto-ries. Stories of being the one to put through calls which told of the death of a loved one during the war, call-ing volunteer fi remen out to a house, barn or business fi re. Sto-ries of friendship built with co-workers and of dealing with all kinds of

people and being respectful of all customers even if they did not accord the same to you. Whatever happened to that friendly voice on the other end of your phone when you turned the crank or dialed ‘O’. Where did the “voice with a smile” go? Well, as of January 2015 the MTS Operator be-came extinct, a victim of the technology revolution. Computers now look up phone numbers, dial emer-gency personnel. Th e personal touch is gone. To celebrate the “End of an Era” a reunion of operators from the Western, Parkland and Northern regions of Manitoba is being planned for Septem-ber 19th in Brandon. Th e region monikers are tele-phone lingo and basically refer to everywhere west of Portage to the Saskatchewan border and from the US border north to Churchill. Th e reunion commit-tee would like to contact as many former operators as possible and invite them to come celebrate their contributions to MTS, and indeed, the Province as “the Voice with a Smile”. For further information contact Kathy at 204-726-4728 or [email protected] or Pat at 204-726-4901 or [email protected] If you know of someone who once worked as a MTS operator in any of these regions please pass on this invitation.

FOR APPOINTMENTS CALL:204-867-2455

I was pondering the next topic to write about

when two calls came in this morning and made my decision for me. I have written on this topic in the past but there just seems to be a barrage of people wanting to scam other people any way they can. It might be this geological area they are focusing in on for the moment. Th e two calls we re-ceived so far have to do with someone calling an unsuspecting innocent person saying that they are the subject of an investiga-tion with the Canada Rev-enue Agency. Th e caller is quite demanding and makes it sound like there is urgency to the matter. Th e one call I received this morning stated that the police were about to close in on them right away to get arrested. Th is poor senior called the offi ce in a panic wondering if we were actually coming! It took a lot of convincing to assure them we were not coming. It caused them a lot of stress and anx-iousness. It disgusts me the tactics and ways these scammers attempt to steal money from our seniors. Th e real only defence we have at the moment is to ensure that we educate our seniors to these and all types of scams. Our seniors have worked hard their whole life not to have some scammer come in and take a large sum of money. Sometimes our seniors are afraid or em-barrassed to tell their fam-ilies what has happened. I want to encourage you to talk to your senior par-ents or relatives about the types of scams that are out there. Some of them are very convincing; some actually befriend the call-ers and make it appear that they care. Th ey don’t, they just want the money. Th ere are so many re-sources on line that you can check out to see what the latest scam is. One resource is our RCMP site,

www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca or Th e Canadian Anti-Fraud Center at www.antifraud-centre.ca Th ese are two good resources to get you started. Th is has been a busy week for our detachment area. We had a total of 80 calls for service. Summer is in full swing and our

thefts are up considerably in the Sandy Lake area. All residents are remind-ed to take precautions in protecting their property. You are encouraged to lock up all property, re-move keys and lock your vehicles. It is also highly recommended to set up a surveillance system. Th is helps us greatly in deter-mining who is responsible for these thefts. With the increased popularity of “trail cams”, these seem to be gaining in popularity not only for hunting but for protecting property. We are in the process of identifying suspects at a

break and enter with this type of system. We had a total of nine theft/break and enters in the area. Th is includes theft of ATVs. Our assault complaints were slightly higher as well with a total of six assaults being reported. Th ere were a total of 13 speeding tickets is-sued. Th e speeder of the week goes to a 30-year-old male from Regina, SK. He was caught doing 135km in a 100 km zone. Th at Roughrider fan won’t have as much money to spend at the games when he pays his $508.35 fi ne. Th at’s fi ne by me! Have a great week.

Approximately 190 people came out to

enjoy delicious beef on a bun, salad and cookies at the tenth annual Chamber of Commerce Ag Appre-ciation BBQ last Wednes-day at the Heritage Co-op Foodmarket parking lot. Th e BBQ was estab-lished as a way to show the community’s support of the agricultural indus-try during the BSE Crisis. It has since become a suc-cessful key in showing the Chamber’s support of the importance of agriculture to our community. Money raised as a re-sult of the Ag Appreciation BBQ supports two $1,000 MCI graduation bursaries for students who are con-tinuing their education in

the agriculture fi eld. BBQ organizer, Terry McLene-han was on hand at last Friday’s graduation exer-cises to present Chamber bursaries to graduates Catrin Davies and Sarah Brown.

Last Wednesday’s BBQ collected $1,500 in corpo-rate sponsorships from 19 sponsors as well as an ad-ditional $1,200 which was collected from those at-tending the event.

Last year, the Portage la Prairie Rotary Club

held a Peace Ride as a new community fundraiser. Due to the success of last year’s poker derby ride, which featured more than 30 riders, the Club orga-nized its second annual Peace Ride which was held this past Saturday, June 20th. Th is year, the Portage Club teamed up with the Minnedosa Rotary Club. Shortly after 12 noon on Saturday, 32 riders roared into Minnedosa and parked their bikes along 1st Avenue S.W. between RBC and Cor-nerstone Grill. Here they enjoyed a SUBWAY lunch sponsored by the local Ro-tary Club. “It has been ab-solutely wonderful work-ing with the Minnedosa Rotary Club. Th ey are re-ally taking care of us by ar-ranging lunch,” stated Ride organizer, Guy Moff at. Th is year’s Ride for Peace began in Portage Saturday morning and took the riders northwest to Minnedosa. From here, the ride headed north on Highway #10 to PR #357 (Mountain Road Highway) where they turned east and travelled to Highway #5 and then south into Neepawa for a pit stop. Riders then continued on

to the Co-op gas station on Highway #1 near Aus-tin before heading back to Portage to wrap up the ride with a barbeque supper. Th e Rotary Ride for Peace supports peace initiatives. “Some of the funds are going toward our exchange program. Last year we funded a lit-eracy program,” stated Ride organizer, Guy Mof-fat. “We make sure the

money is used for some-thing that is going to bring peace.” Guy hopes to see the ride continue into the fu-ture and get bigger and better with each year. Th e entry fee is minimum pledges of $45 per rider or $70 with rider and passen-ger. Prizes were presented to the highest pledge collector at the evening wrap-up.

HEARING:

The Public Utilities Board (Board) anticipates holding a public hearing of an application from Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation (MPI) for approval of rates and premiums for compulsory vehicle and driver insurance as of March 1, 2016. The hearing would take place at the Board’s Hearing Room, 4th Floor, 330 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB (commencing at 9:00 a.m.) on October 5, 2015. A Pre-Hearing Conference is to be convened by the Board in its offices at 9:00 a.m. on June 24, 2015.

RATE IMPACT:

The Corporation is requesting approval for Basic Autopac vehicle and drivers licence insurance rates and premiums effective March 1, 2016, which, if approved, will result in no overall change in MPI’s Basic premium revenue (excluding the impact of vehicle upgrades and an increased overall driver and vehicle population).

Actual vehicle and driver premiums would vary depending on claim and driving experience, insurance use, territory and vehicle rate group. Full particulars, including the rate impact and application, can be found on the Manitoba Public Insurance website www.mpi.mb.ca.

PRE-HEARING CONFERENCE:

Those seeking Intervener status should notify the Board of their intention by applying to the Board Secretary before the now scheduled Pre-Hearing Conference of June 24, 2015. Interveners may be entitled to financial assistance, and the Board’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (Rules) provide the related guidelines, which can be seen at the Board’s website www.pub.gov.mb.ca or obtained on request to the Board, by either emailing ([email protected]), writing or calling the Board Secretary (204-945-2638 or 1-866-854-3698, toll free). Parties wishing to submit a brief or to express comments at the hearing should also contact the Board Secretary.

Applicant: Manitoba Public Insurance CorporationGENERAL INFORMATION:

Interested parties should take note that the Board does not have jurisdiction over the MPI lines of business denoted as Extension or SRE, or as to MPI’s Driver and Vehicle Licensing operation.

Persons seeking further information as to MPI’s application, or with respect to the Board’s process, and/or wishing to address the public hearing in French should notify the Board Secretary by August 28, 2015. As well, interested parties may examine MPI’s application and supporting materials, either at the offices of the Corporation or on its website, or the Board’s office.

The Manitoba Ombudsman has recently issued privacy guidelines for administrative tribunals. The Board is mindful of its obligations under those guidelines. Its decisions in respect of the application being considered will be sensitive to the guidelines. Personal information will not be disclosed unless it is appropriate and necessary to do so.

Notice of Public Hearing and Pre-Hearing Conference

Living in Paradise

By

VERN MAY EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC

Take a look across the country and you’ll eas-

ily identify the number of communities that have cemented their reputation as a holiday destination by hosting a music festival. Dauphin, Craven, Camrose, Merritt, Pem-berton and others have created an annual splash by bringing in the big-gest acts to their humble communities. Th e events draw thousands of visitors and creating an economic impact so great that the whole community warmly embraces each upcoming event – latching on to op-portunities to attach their business to the swirl of ex-citement associated with the weekend. Maybe we should explore this oppor-tunity further. Now, there will be those reading this article who will be quick to point out that we do this al-ready. Sure, we are home to a great event in Rockin’ the Fields of Minnedosa, which will celebrate its 13th year this summer. Yes, I know about the forty or so marquee acts that have performed here. I’m aware of people who have bought cabins here as a result of this event alone. I’ve talked to the business owner that decided to re-locate from Saskatchewan and invest here after hav-

ing a great experience at our festival. I know all this, but the challenge in my mind remains: If we can all ac-knowledge how much good Rockin’ the Fields does for the community, why aren’t we doing more to illustrate our pride and attachment to this strong economic driver which creates tens of thousands of dollars for us each year? Did you see Dauphin’s community brochure last year? On the page accom-panying the mayor’s wel-come to the community was a photo of Mayor Eric Irwin with American Idol

winner and country music superstar Carrie Under-wood. In Souris, visiting celebrities such as Aaron Pritchett are ushered to the town’s star attraction, the Souris Swinging Bridge for a photo opportunity forever linking the star to their appearance in town. Merritt, BC probably does the greatest job of celebrating their relation-ship to visiting acts that they’ve been honoured to host. Th roughout town, commercial buildings are decorated with large mu-rals of music superstars like Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Paul Brandt and Lonestar who have head-lined the festival. In ad-dition, select stars have submitted to a cast of their hand which is bronzed and posted as part of a walk of fame throughout the com-munity. In this way, Merritt builds on their relation-

ships with the visiting ce-lebrities in a manner which continues to pay dividends long after the concert. Th e community gets the initial draw of people fl ocking to the town to see the star in person, but they also entice visitors to discover the shrine that stands as a lasting legacy for years to come. Let’s not miss the boat on the opportunity that’s right before us. Let’s think about how to embrace the success of our festival and the eff orts of our organiz-ers to schedule the best available talent. Do we encourage photo opportu-nities at iconic Minnedosa sites? Or do we create a unique monument on the event site itself which be-comes a “must visit” spot for fans to stand in THE VERY SPOT where their idol had visited? We can do more to embrace our local music

festival and to better con-nect the whole of our town to the signature events and experiences that draw in visitors from across the country and around the world. Manitoba’s Valley Par-adise is created by its peo-

ple and we need to talk. You can fi nd me under the Discover Minnedosa ban-ner on Main Street, reach me by e-mail at [email protected], call me at 204-867-3885, or keep up with the action on Face-book.

A weekend full of family fun and toe-tapping mu-sic returned to Erickson Fairgrounds last week-

end as organizers hosted their 18th annual Little Val-ley Jamboree. The jamboree weekend is held each Father’s Day weekend as a fundraiser to support Westman families with special needs children. Orga-nizers estimate a crowd of approximately 650 people and 50 kids came out for the weekend festivities. This year’s two recipients are 18-month-old Bai-ley Phillips from Roseland, MB and seven-year-old Haylie Hopfner from Ste. Rose. Proceeds from this year’s jamboree will be divided between Bailey and Haylie’s families and presented to them at a later date. Musical acts appearing on the jamboree stage this past weekend included the Cookshack Shakers, Kristen Nerbas, Laurie Larsen, Better Than, Cam-eron Campbell Band, the Lazy Creek Express, The Tweeners, Prairie Outlaws, Smith and Wesson and Gary McIvor and the Country Connection Revival. A special Saturday night dance was held featuring Brandon rockers, Nuthin’ But Trouble. In addition to great music, which had many par-ticipants up on the dance floor, this year’s jambo-ree also featured a live auction featuring local auc-tioneer Terry Woychyshyn Sr. During the Saturday afternoon auction, everything from perogies to au-tographed sports jerseys were auctioned off. Many patrons were extremely generous paying hundreds of dollars for some of the items generously donated by jamboree supporters and sponsors. Other fund-raisers included rainbow and silent auctions, 50/50 draws and great food and beverages sold onsite. Being a family-friendly event, which raises money for children, there were also a number of special attractions for the youngsters in attendance. The ever popular sand pile full of hidden coins had children digging for money all weekend while many others lined up for a ride on the Jamboree Express Kiddies train driven by conductor, Craig Turchinski. There was also a bounce house and face painting to keep the children entertained throughout the week-end. The Little Valley Jamboree continues to be a well attended Father’s Day festival which has financially benefitted the lives of numerous special needs chil-dren since its inception in 1998. Over the years many great friendships have been made as a result of the jamboree. These special friendships between recipi-ents, families and jamboree organizers, volunteers, supporters and musicians continue today.

Four Seasons Repair hosted an open house

last Friday, June 19th. Th e local business will be cele-brating its 19th anniversa-ry this August and owners Ken and Sally Labelle have certainly built an impres-sive reputation. In addi-tion to their customers in the immediate area, Four Seasons also services an area stretching from San-dy Lake and Onanole to

McCreary and Gladstone. Since 1999, the busi-ness has been a dealer for Husqvarna products and those attending Friday’s open house could witness various Husqvarna prod-uct demonstrations. Some of the newest products to be featured in Four Sea-sons showroom include Husqvarna battery pow-ered chainsaws, trimmers, etc. Th e Labelle’s busi-ness motto of “We Service

What We Sell” as well as their exceptional treat-ment toward customers and employees resulted in a nomination for the Apprenticeship Award of Distinction Employer of the Year, which they won in 2013. Currently, in ad-dition to Ken and Sally and their sons, Tristan and Jayden, Four Seasons Repair employs two me-chanics - Dylan Tardiff (apprentice) and James Wood.

On Sunday, June 7th a number of local

demolition derby en-thusiasts participated in Brandon’s Summer Fair Annual Demolition Derby. Th is year was no exception for loud engines, the smell of smoke, car fi res and fl y-ing dirt.

Stephen Fisher and Kevin Fisher were in the fi rst two heats and unfor-tunately walked away with very beat up cars and no money, but had great fun with some good old fash-ioned car bashing. Lance Ritchie was in the third heat and walked away with fi rst prize for that round.

Colin Stevenson and Rob Prettie were in the truck heat. Rob’s hot pink truck was a sight to see and from what could be heard in the audience, many of the girls were cheering him on! Unfor-tunately, neither Rob nor Colin were able to take the win this year but were able to take down some of the other trucks before dying out due to damage.

OBITUARIES

ETHEL MARGUERITE SHEWCHUK (CAREFOOT)

NOVEMBER 3RD, 1915 – JUNE 21ST, 2015

It is with sadness we announce that Ethel passed away at the Erickson Personal Care Home in her 100th year. Ethel was born at Hargrave, MB; the eldest daughter of Fos-

ter and Dorothy Carefoot. She leaves to mourn her sister Eileen

Campbell, her son Laurel, her daughter Gladys Mark (Harold),

her sons Barry (Sylvia) and Wayne (Charlotte). She was blessed with

and treasured her special relationships with her two grandsons, Curtis (Jennie) Shewchuk and David (Tammy) Shewchuk. She is also survived by 9 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Marvin, her brothers Roy, Earl and Melvin, and her sister Zena Rennick. Mom was known for her uncanny ability to feed any num-ber of friends and feed customers at a moment’s notice. It was amazing how many happened to turn up at meal time! Her boisterous laugh, easy going sense of humor and joy of being with people got her through the depression, 63 years of mar-riage and helping to turn a struggling quarter section of land into an incredibly successful registered seed growing operation. As a carefree youth, she enjoyed dancing, card parties, curl-ing and entertaining numerous friends and relatives. In latter years visiting with her children and grandchildren proved to be a highlight of her life. It is with heartfelt gratitude that the family wishes to recog-nize the outstanding care by the staff at the Erickson Personal Care Home. Th ey treated mom as a very special lady from the day she entered the Care Home until the day of her untimely passing. A private family celebration of life was held on Th ursday, June 25th, 2015. In lieu of fl owers, if anyone wishes, donations may be made in her memory to the Erickson District Health Activity Centre, 60 Queen Elizabeth Ave., Erickson, MB R0J 0P0 White’s Funeral Home, Neepawa, MB in care of arrange-ments. 1-204-476-2848.

BILL MACKSYMCHUKJANUARY 7TH, 1943 – JUNE 5TH, 2015

Peacefully, Bill Macksymchuk passed away at the Minne-dosa District Hospital with his children by his side. Bill was born to Nick and Mary Macksymchuk, a wonderful Ukrainian Christmas present to his family. He attended school at Fraser School. During his youth Bill was a member of the Ozerna 4-H Seed Club and told many stories of the Rally days that he had attended. After fi nishing school, Bill made the decision to be a farmer. He worked alongside his Dad and brother Fred on the family farm. In true Bill fashion, he was always there to lend a helping hand to his brother-in-laws during the busy seasons. In the winters Bill had worked in Sandy Lake loading and un-loading rail cars, and cutting logs in Riding Mountain National Park. On July 26th, 1969 Bill married Elsie Wilk of Oakburn in the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Oakburn, Manitoba. Together Bill and Elsie took over the family farm. Th is is where they raised their three children. Over the years Bill was involved in various groups and or-ganizations including the Manitoba Wheat Pool Board; mem-ber of the Board of Directors for the Sandy Lake Nursing Home; Sandy Lake Co-op Board member; volunteer of the Sandy Lake Museum and the Sandy Lake Rec. Board, member of Ozerna Church where he served as the President for many years. Bill was a true farmer to the core of his being and did fi eld work up until the day before he went to the hospital. He took pride in his livestock and grain operations. Teaching the farm-ing way of life to his children was very important to Bill. He taught his kids the importance of hard work, to be independ-ent, to understand the mechanics of the way things work and to be mind full and respect everyone they come into contact with. Bill never passed up an opportunity to talk farming, be it at the local coff ee shop, in a grocery store or even on a bus in Las Vegas. Bill is survived by his three children: Anna and boyfriend Jason of Maryfi eld, SK, Leonard of Ozerna and Delores of Sandy Lake. Sisters Lil Sianchuk, Nell and Tony Wellis and Margaret Dmytriw. Sister-in-laws Anne Macksymchuk and Kay Wilk, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his loving wife Elsie; parents Nick and Mary Macksymchuk; in-laws Frank and Annie Wilk; Family: Elsie and Tom Zatylny, Anne and John Koversky, Fred Macksymchuk, Steve Sianchuk and Reg Dmytriw. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, June 10th, 2015 at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church Ozerna. Interment followed in the Parish Cemetery. Prayers were said Tuesday evening at the Church, Father Kardasinec and Father Sianchuk offi ciated. Pallbearers were Peter Dmytriw, Carl Koversky, Ivan Mack-symchuk, Doug, Gordon, Milton Leganchuk, and Larry And-reychuk. Cross bearer Janice Klemick. Donations may be made to the Ozerna Church Fund or the Minnedosa Health Auxiliary. Rae’s Funeral Service of Shoal Lake in care of arrangements. Bill was an infl uential person and touched many people’s lives. He will be truly missed by everyone that knew him.

Cooking With

CHEF DEZ

Rubs don’t have to be “rubbed” onto

meat. A simply dredging or sprinkling will do just fi ne, but that being said, any rubbing will help the spices to penetrate the meat better in most cases. I never purchase pre-made spice mixes from the store. I always get greater satisfaction from making my own and having them stored in labeled Mason jars. Today I would like to share some of my favorite recipes with you because barbecue season is well under way. Take the time to start stocking miscellaneous individual dried spices and herbs like the ingredients mentioned in the recipes below, and start trying diff erent combinations yourself. Smoked paprika comes in both sweet and hot varieties and it is far superior to just regular paprika. I prefer the sweet (mild) variety because I would rather control the amount of spiciness with ground cayenne pepper instead. Enjoy! Beef Rub4 tbsp sweet smoked paprika2 tbsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)4 tsp salt2 tsp ground black pepper2 tsp dried thyme leaves1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper, optional

Greek Rub4 tsp dried oregano 4 tsp granulated onion (or onion powder)4 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)4 tsp dried parsley4 tsp dried rosemary4 tsp white sugar2 tsp cornstarch2 tsp salt2 tsp ground pepper Chilli Rub2 tbsp sweet smoked paprika1 tbsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)1 tbsp Mexican chilli powder2 tsp salt1 tsp ground black pepper1 tsp dried oregano1/2 tsp ground cumin Cajun Rub1/4 cup sweet smoked paprika2 tsp ground dried oregano2 tsp ground black pepper2 tsp salt1 tsp ground dried thyme1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper

Members of the New-dale Fire Depart-

ment hosted its annual Firefi ghters Day at the Community Hall on Satur-day, June 13th. Th e day kicked off with a pancake breakfast, which was held in partnership with the Age Friendly Ini-tiative, R.M. of Harrison-

Park and Parish and Heim-becker Ltd. Age Friendly volunteers were on hand asking visitors to fi ll out a checklist and rating of Age Friendly features in the community. As in years past, the Fire Department hosted a fl ea market. In addition to revenue from table rentals, the Fire Department also had a number of its own

“treasure” tables and held a Chinese Auction. Th e number of tables rented was down from previous years but organizer’s are hopeful that they can con-tinue to host this annual fundraiser. “It raises some money for our equipment fund and also gets that word out there that yes, Newdale has a fi re department and here is who we are and what we do,” mentioned Dorothy Levich. Outside in front of the hall, visitors could tour the public education trailer to learn about fi re safety, check out the fi re truck and equipment displays or visit with Sparky the Fire Dog, the offi cial mascot for fi re safety awareness. At lunch time, the fi refi ghters served up some delicious barbequed hot dogs and burgers. When all was said and done, the fi re department had about $300 to add to its equipment fund. If any-one has any new ideas for next year’s Newdale Fire-fi ghter’s Day to raise more money and draw more people, please pass them along to the Fire Depart-ment.

Saturday, June 12th was Fireman’s Day in New-

dale with the local Age Friendly committee serv-ing pancakes and sausag-es to a large crowd at the Community Hall. Fred and Margaret Ann Howard had her sis-ter, Shirley visiting from Winnipeg last week. Th e local Credit Union staff hosted a Customer Appreciation luncheon on Saturday, June 12th when local members enjoyed a delicious cold plate lunch and dessert. Th e commu-nity certainly values the excellent service we re-ceive from the staff of our local Newdale branch. A full house enjoyed the Triple Bill of short fi lms held at the Bend Th eatre on Saturday, June 12th. Each one had a local connection which made the viewing extra special. Th e Bend itself was built with wood from Kippen’s Mill and special kudos

to Braden Dereniwski for his entertaining fi lm about the career of Derek Glenn, his journey from high school rodeo to ma-jor rodeo participant and the McConnell area fi lm provided many memories for those from that area. Fourteen church members joined with Cardale United Church congregation to help cele-brate their 100th Anniver-sary on Sunday, June 13th. A special worship service was conducted with a large combined choir pro-viding the music. Gordon, Enid, Dave and Danielle Clark at-tended the Graduation Awards Ceremony at Gle-nella, MB for grandson Bryce Scott’s grade 12 Graduation with Honours. Bryce is the younger son of Brian and Donna Scott of Neepawa and grandson of Gar and Eleanor Scott of Neepawa. Bryce was co-valedictorian for the class and was winner of several academic awards.

He’ll be attending ACC in September. We send sympathy to Stan and Ann Marks and family on the passing of Stan’s sister, Leona Foster in Winnipeg on Saturday, June 20th. She was pre-deceased by her fi rst hus-band Leonard Cowan and her second husband John Foster and two daughters Judy Mills and Shirley Mason. Leona grew up in Newdale and took her schooling here before ac-quiring her teachers cer-tifi cate in Winnipeg. Our sincere con-dolences to Bill Doyle, former Minister in New-dale whose Mother, Do-ris Doyle passed away in Winnipeg on Friday, June 5th. She leaves three sons, David, Andy and Bill. Bill still resides in Regina, SK. Hilda Davies and Zelda Firby attended the funeral of Evelyn Oman, formerly of Clanwilliam, held in Brandon last week.
