In Memoriam HUBKA

In Loving Memory of Al

(husband, father, grandfather)

who passed away February 23, 2014

That man is a success who leaves the world

better than he found it, who has never lacked

appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed

to express it; who looked for the best in others

and gave the best he had.

Remembered by -

Lorna & family

Happy Valentine’s Day!

What’s the best part about Valentine’s

Day?

The day after when all the candy is on sale.

What did the painter say to her sweetheart?

I love you with all my art.

I asked my friend if he'd bought his wife a

gift for Valentine's Day.

He's a bit of a chauvinist pig so he

surprised me when he replied, "Yeah, I've

got her a belt and a bag."

I said, "That's very thoughtful of you.

I hope she appreciates it."

He said, "So do I. And hopefully the

vacuum cleaner will work much better

now."

Celebrating Manitoba’s 150

Friday July 10th Band: Pop Vegas

Attendance was down somewhat this

past summer. 380 visitors toured the facil-

ity, 115 of which were local, 158 from

elsewhere in Manitoba, 105 from other

provinces and 2 from U.S.A. Brett Lane

and Phoebe Vidler were our summer stu-

dents. Bus tours came from Winnipeg and

the Wawanesa Grade 11 class came to

visit.

The contribution from the commu-

nity in the form of burger chefs, pie bak-

ers, Free Tuesday sponsors and other vol-

unteers is greatly appreciated. Hamburger

Days were successful once again as 1,703

burgers were cooked and served. We

would like to thank the Royal Bank staff,

the Shur Gro staff, Dave & May Krekle-

wich, Patricia Wilton and Denise Brown

for their expertise on the barbeques. The

Municipality appointed Michelle Sowiak

as the representative to our Board of Di-

rectors.

Upgrades to the Museum included a

new brick foundation for the barbeque,

shingling around the skylight, some light-

ing repairs, cosmetic repairs and a new

coat of paint on the Rounthwaite Church.

A dehumidifier was donated by the

Wawanesa Mutual.

To celebrate Manitoba’s birthday,

Dorothy Haithwaite, Katie Urquhart and

Margaret Brown visited the Wawanesa

Grade 2 class with Manitoba in a Suitcase.

Free admission passes and brochures were

given to campers in our campground. A

commemorative copy of the most recent

history book, Sipiweske, has been placed

under glass. In cooperation with Daly

House Museum, articles from World War I

will be displayed until May.

The front display did not change from

2018, but thank you to Beth Smale who

kindly allowed us to use her miniature dis-

plays throughout the museum and graciously

donated the school display to the museum. In

August, a well attended movie night under

the stars took place, complete with popcorn

and refreshments. Thank you to the Lane

family.

Appreciation is expressed to the

Wawanesa Community Foundation for their

assistance in setting up the Heritage Trust

Program which will help support Sipiweske

Museum in the future. Thank you also to Ken

Turner for cleaning the barbeques and for

helping Neil Bok with maintenance work.

CORY, JAMES KENNETH (JIM) of Brandon

MB, formerly of Wawanesa MB passed away on

January 25, 2020 in his 94th year. Predeceased

by his wife of 51 years Marjorie Ann in 2004,

his son Blair in 1983 and daughter Marsha in

2009. He is survived by his wife, formerly

Jeanette Gehrling of Brandon.

Jim was born July 23, 1926 at the family

farm near Nesbitt, MB, the seventh of 13 chil-

dren of Bert and Eva Cory. He was educated in

Nesbitt School and Success Commercial College

in Winnipeg. He was employed by Wawanesa

Mutual Insurance Company from January 24,

1946 until retirement on July 31, 1987.

On December 27, 1952 Jim married

Marjorie Ann Wood and together they raised

eight children. Jim was active in the Wawanesa

community. He was a Cub Master, member of

the Wawanesa Band and volunteered with Cana-

dian Red Cross. Jim was an active member of

Wawanesa United Church Choir for 40 years and

served on the Church Board. He was a Mason

from 1948, past Master of Wawanesa Lodge #67

and presently a member of Wheat City Lodge

#168. Jim was proud to have been presented his

70-year pin in 2018.

Music was an important interest all his

life. Outside of the local scene in Wawanesa, Jim

and Marjorie were charter members of the West-

ern Manitoba Philharmonic Choir from its incep-

tion in 1966 until its demise in the 1970s. He and

Marjorie sang together at many weddings, funer-

als and other community events over the years.

Jim played fiddle, recorder and clarinet and had

varied music tastes. He enjoyed listening to CBC

radio.

For many years Jim was active in Minor

Sports and encouraged his kids to participate in

hockey, baseball, skating, canoeing and cycling.

He enjoyed curling and golf. Jim’s love of the

family farm carried over into his passion for

vegetable and flower gardening. He loved mak-

ing trips back to Sunnybrook Farm throughout his

life. Jim took the family on many camping trips

and travelled extensively throughout Britain,

Europe, the United States and Canada.

Jim’s keen interest in education was ex-

pressed in his eight years as Secretary-Treasurer

of Wawanesa School District and 18 years (1974-

1992) as Trustee for Souris Valley School Divi-

sion. In 1992 Jim was awarded the Commemora-

tion Medal for the 125th anniversary of Canadian

Confederation in recognition of service to com-

munity and Canada. This was a source of great

pride to him.

In 1998 Jim and Marjorie sold their home

in Wawanesa and moved to Brandon. They be-

came members of Prairie Oasis Senior Centre

where Jim participated in choir and floor shuffle-

board. Jim resided in Victoria Landing from Oc-

tober 2007 until his re-marriage in August 2011.

He led the singing group there, along with his

wife Jean. In June 2019 Jim and Jean moved to-

gether to Victoria Landing.

Jim leaves a large family legacy. He is sur-

vived by his six children Dale (Susan), Mark

(Michelle), Owen (Melanie), Paul, Myra (Rob)

and Neil (Leslie); nine grandchildren Craig

(Kate), Michael, Matthew, Chelsea (Theo),

Emma, Alyssa (Cody), Samantha (Tyler), Jack-

son, and Ryan; and five great-grandchildren

Liam, Vanessa, Daniel, Phillip and Brooklyn. He

is remembered by many nieces, nephews, ex-

tended family members and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made

in Jim’s memory to the Wawanesa Community

Foundation, Wawanesa MB R0K 2G0 https://

www.wawanesacommunityfoundation.com/.

our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Jason &

Tracy, Clinton & Carmel, Trent & Mel

and our amazing grandchildren made us

especially proud of the way they organ-

ized and thought of every detail to make

it a memorable occasion. The photogra-

pher, the beautiful decorations, the slide-

special added touches that we really ap-

preciated. Thank you to the Wawanesa

roast beef supper. December is a very

busy month and we really appreciated

everyone who took time to share our spe-

cial evening with us. Thanks

also to all the people who

Wawanesa & District Recreation Cen-

tre would like to thank Leonard Plett for the

dedicated bookkeeping he has offered us for

the past number of years. He has assisted

the board immensely and has helped lead

the rink to a bright future. Thank you Leo-

nard. We look forward to seeing you around

the rink, watching your grandchildren en-

joying the facility in the coming years!

Going forward, the Wawanesa & Dis-

trict Recreation Centre has amalgamated its

bookkeeping with the Souris River Recrea-

tion Commission and the R.M. of Oakland-

Wawanesa. This will allow the Souris River

Recreation Commission to manage and op-

erate all of the recreation facilities in the

R.M of Oakland-Wawanesa under one um-

brella with one set of books and one set of

financial processes.

If you aren’t aware of the changes,

Dustin Brown is now the Facilities manager

for Souris River Recreation Commission.

Dustin is in charge of the day to day opera-

tions of the Recreation Centre, Riverbend

ball diamonds, the water park and the camp-

grounds in the summer. Dustin can be

reached at 204-724-3988.

Tracy Cullen is staying on with the

Souris River Recreation Commission.

Tracy’s role going forward will be looking

after all of the recreation programs that are

offered as well as filling out and completing

grant applications and organizing fundrais-

ers. Tracy can be reached at 204-741-0421.

Souris River Recreation Commission

looks forward to the changes that we have

implemented and the challenges that lay

ahead of us as we turn a page on a new chap-

ter in recreation in the R.M of Oakland-

Wawanesa.

Everyone is Welcome

I believe winter has been kind to us so

far. A mild winter makes for slushy and icy

road conditions. When people ask me if I miss

Ontario winters I say, not at all. Rain in Janu-

ary and icy roads. It gets hard regulating hu-

midity in the barns. No, I actually like Mani-

toba’s winter. When winter hits, it stays win-

ter.

Starting in January we began going

through the book of Hebrews. It is a book that

clearly states who Jesus is. It also reflects on

the presence of God through the journey of the

Israelites. There is no doubt of the Love of

God and the sacrifice of Jesus.

Since the beginning of January, Sunday

school starts at 10:00 a.m. and the church ser-

vice starts at 11:00 a.m. February 2 is a pot-

luck lunch and people are asked to bring a

favourite game to spend the afternoon to-

gether.

I, Garnet, am looking forward to hear-

ing the speakers at Missionfest Manitoba,

being held at Church of the Rock, Winni-

peg, February 7-9. There will be a guest

speaker at Treesbank February 9.

Smile!

Q. Did Adam and Eve ever have a

date?

A. No, they had an apple!

Q. What did the flame say to his

buddies after he fell in love?

A. “I found the perfect match!”

Did you hear about the bed bugs who

fell in love? They’re getting married in

the spring!

Q: What do you call a very small

valentine?

A: A valen-tiny!

Valentine’s Day One legend contends that Valentine

was a priest who served during the

third century in Rome. When Emperor

Claudius II decided that single men

made better soldiers than those with

wives and families, he outlawed mar-

riage for young men. Valentine, realiz-

ing the injustice of the decree, defied

Claudius and continued to perform

marriages for young lovers in secret.

When Valentine’s actions were discov-

ered, Claudius ordered that he be put to

death.
