Minnedosa PerIorming Arts Committee presents:
Antique antlers a treasured family heirloom
By DARRYL HOLYK
A
century old set of
mounted elk antlers
has been passed down
through four generations
of the Crawley family.
Currently in the pos-
session of Charlotte (Craw-
ley) Ritchie, the antlers are
from an elk shot by her
great-grandfather, John
Crawley in 1912. In addi-
tion to having the antlers,
the family also has an old
photograph showing the
group of hunters with the
animal taken in the area
now known as Riding
Mountain National Park,
northeast of the current
Clear Lake Golf Course.
Te man on the far right
in the photograph at right
is John Crawley. Te only
other man the family has
identifed is the one on the
far left who they believe
was from the Portage la
Prairie area and had the
surname McVicor. Te
other men in the photo-
graph have not been iden-
tifed, but if anyone knows
who they are, Charlotte or
her father, Glen Crawley,
would like to know.
Te aging set of antlers
was in rough shape until a
few years ago when Char-
lotte had them remounted.
During this procedure, an-
other revelation was made.
Te taxidermist found the
bullet hole and shell still
embedded in the skull. Te
rife used to kill the animal,
pictured with the group of
hunters, is a .405 calibre
Winchester. While this rife
is no longer owned by the
Crawleys, it remains in the
area and is currently in the
possession of a neighbour.
Te antlers have never
been measured or scaled
but have great value to the
family. Te fact that they
have the century old ant-
lers, a photograph of their
ancestor with the animal
on the day of the hunt and
know the whereabouts of
the rife that was used to
obtain the antlers adds to
the personal value of this
unique family heirloom.
Recently, as I was
compiling this weeks Ye
Old Trib column, I stum-
bled across the following
snippet from 1912: John
Crawley brings back the
fnest elk head in these
parts in many a year; the
horns have eight points
instead of the usual sev-
en.
Photos submitted
A photo from the hunt back in the winter of 1912 in which John Crawley
and fellow hunters bagged an elk with a unique set of antlers.
John is pictured at the far right with the rife that shot the
animal and a pipe in his mouth.
Te 100 year old elk antlers were recently
remounted and now belong to Johns
great-granddaughter, Charlotte.

T
he third annual
Minnedosa and Dis-
trict Christmas Dinner was
yet again another success.
Held at the Minnedosa
Community Conference
Centre (MCCC) between
12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Christmas Day, guests en-
joyed a traditional turkey
dinner with all the trim-
mings. Compared to last
year, there were less people
who attended this years
dinner.
Tere were a few less
people in attendance than
in 2011 but once again, for
all those who braved the
cold, a great traditional hot
turkey Christmas dinner
was had, said Chair of the
Christmas Dinner com-
mittee Ray Baloun. Many
takeout meals were served
to those who were unable
to attend.
Andy Gilkinson was
the host at the event
and he, along with Barry
McNabb on the piano led
everyone in the singing
of Christmas carols. Te
special visitor of the event
was Santa Claus, who was
able to meet many people
before returning to the
North Pole after his busiest
morning of the year.
Many volunteers are
needed for the event and
without them, the din-
ner wouldnt be possible.
Volunteers were on hand
to serve the meal on the
day and volunteers, some
of which werent in atten-
dance, are also involved in
planning and preparing for
the event.
Baloun believes that
no one should be alone at
Christmas. It is so good
to have a place in town
that people can go to on
Christmas Day for some
great food and fellow-
ship. Christmas is a time
of year that emotions can
bring high or low spirit and
with an event like this, new
warm memories are made
every year.
Te Christmas Din-
ner was launched in 2011
by Garry MacDowall and
Anita Holdaway. MacDow-
all was unable to be on the
committee this year but
Anita continues to be the
main cook for the event,
bringing plenty of energy
to the team. Te event is
funded by a bank account
in which individuals, or-
ganizations, and the sur-
rounding Municipalities
can contribute to. Te
Town of Minnedosa con-
tribute by providing the
MCCC at no cost.
Organizers look for-
ward to continue what is
now a community tradi-
tion and the community
can stay tuned for their
opportunity to be involved
with the next dinner!
Christmas bringing community together

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I
m appealing to all peo-
ple who have enjoyed
f shing or just hanging
out at (Little) Jackfsh
Lake located about 4.5
miles east of Sandy Lake
on Road 114W (Ozerna
Road) to attend a public
hearing being held by the
South Riding Mountain
Planning District (SRMPD)
January 16th, 2013 at 7:45
p.m. at the Town/Munici-
pal Of ce located at 45
Main Street, Erickson. (See
ad elsewhere in this edi-
tion).
SRMPD is asking for
input from the public
about a development pro-
posal to put in 13 PLUS
cottage lots in the quarter
just south of the Jackfsh
boat launch area. Te
land would have to be re-
zoned from Rural Agri-
cultural Use to Seasonal
Recreational Use to ac-
commodate the lots. Such
rezoning is CONTRARY to
the policies set out in both
the SRMPD development
plan and Provincial Plan-
ning Regulation 81/2011.
Nevertheless, the R.M. of
Harrison has already given
second reading to By-law
6-2012 to rezone this Class
4 agricultural land to rec-
reational use. As well, at
least one R.M. of Harrison
councillor has told me that
unless someone comes
to the public hearing and
makes a good case to do
otherwise, he WILL vote
for rezoning the land.
Many, many people
have enjoyed this lake over
the years. Te Erickson
Wildlife Association has
spent a great deal of time
and volunteer labour to
make sure the fsh stocks
are viable in the lake for
anglers. I am most con-
cerned that the lake will be
spoiled for future genera-
tions by over-development
and overuse/pollution of
this natural resource.
If you cannot attend
the hearing in person, I
urge you to write to SRM-
PD at Box 189, Erickson,
MB R0J 0P0 to express
your concerns about what
impact a cottage develop-
ment would have on this
small lake.

Dear Editor,
T
he killing of innocent
children and adults
always make us angry.
Rightly so. Who in his
or her right mind could
do such a horrible deed.
Most agree that a person
mentally deranged would
kill their own parent and
other innocent children.
Te state of Connecti-
cut has the countrys ffth
toughest gunlaws, includ-
ing an assault weapons
ban. Whenever a mass
murder takes place any-
where in the world, the
f rst thing we hear from
the media is that we need
to outlaw more frearms.
Our laws in Canada difer
than those in the USA. In
Canada we have no prop-
erty rights so the govern-
ment of the day can by law
conf scate anything that
we own. Fortunately 99.9
percent of the gun owners
in Canada are law abiding
citizens. We are not crimi-
nals, not insane, and dont
go around shooting inno-
cent bystanders. We dont
need to apologize to any-
one because we own a fre-
arm. But the media tends
to lump all lawful and
peaceful frearm owners
into the same pot. Some-
how owning a gun makes
one a potential criminal in
this country. We need to
register the criminals and
the insane, and not lawful
frearm owners.
Some people enjoy
fshing, others enjoy rec-
reational shooting. Tak-
ing the guns away from
the law abiding citizens is
like trying to stop high-
way deaths through con-
fscating all vehicles that
produce more than 100
horsepower. How many
of us would tolerate such
a law. Te real solution
is through better mental
health, compulsory fre-
arm safety training and
education, and not fnger
pointing and blaming the
lawful frearm owners.

Dear Friends at Te Tribune,
I
would appreciate it very much if you were able to fnd
room in one of your papers in the next few weeks to

keep this service up and running for us all.
Tank you with much appreciation from a hydro

Te Man on the Pole
Te black blowing night and the driving snow
makes it feel much colder than ten below.
Te wind rasps the snow like sharp cutting sand,
strokes bare frozen trees with harsh icy hand.
Stif branches creak with the weight of the wind
which has sung its chill dirge for hours on end.
No pin-point of light pricks the gloom of the street;
the dark is forever, frozen, complete.
By the curb stands a truck, its tail to the storm;
around it grey drifts have started to form.
Dimly discerned are the lines of its back,
the tools on its side, the high ladder rack.
Like a pack-horse it stands, hock deep in the snow,
as patiently waiting, with head hanging low;
Alone in the wind and the swirling dark,
dim fashers repeating their faint red spark.
Above, on a pole, in the wintry night sky
a snow-blurred fgure works on high,
Clings to his perch with sharp pointed steel,
arches his back to the safety trap feel.
Desperately he twists the stif, stubborn wires,
his mind running home to warm glowing fres.
He pulls with numbed hands, his face a chill mask,
with fast-ebbing strength, completes his lone task.
Now LIGHT sprays from windows all down the street,
a radio blares loudly, then becomes more discreet.
Somewhere a dog barks his plea at the door;
light and LIFE have come back to the street once more.
Te man on the pole draws a long, tired sigh,
then picks his way slowly down out of the sky.
Te cold hours of labour have taken their toll;
he leans for a moment against the hard pole.
To the truck he ploddingly makes his way,
stows his tool in the back and drives away.
Not a soul in those houses, now bright and warm;
knows that hes been there, out of the storm,
Silently working to bring them light,
as silently fading into the night.
When work-a-day heroes are inscribed on the roll,
we too often forget Te Man on the Pole.
Annonymous
Dear Mr. Ken Kingdon,
I
dont always read your column in Te Minnedosa Tri-
bune. (I dont read much of Te Trib at anytime), but the
poem caught my eye. (Stopping By a Den on a Snowy Eve-
ning December 14th edition).
I read it f rst and enjoyed it immensely. Ten I read
the article, and enjoyed it too. A second and third reading
of the poem made me smile and really connect with your
experience.
Robert Frost is my favourite poet. I think he would be
pleased with your version.
Roxanna Robinson,
Erickson, MB
P.S. I shall read your column from now on just in case the
poetry muse strikes again!

lgin Hall was a recent
recipient of the Queen
Elizabeth II Diamond Jubi-
lee Medal.
Jef MacDonald nomi-
nated Elgin for this award
under the categories of Re-
ligious Service and Com-
munity Service. Dauphin-
Swan River-Marquette M.P.
Robert Sopuck presented
Hall with the medal.
I was left speechless
when I found out I was
nominated as it is an hon-
our to be one of 60,000 peo-
ple in Canada to receive the
award, Hall said during his
acceptance speech.
Hall has been dedi-
cated and interested in ag-
ricultural programs and is
a founding member of the
Minnedosa Grain Grow-
ing Project, in support of
the Canadian Food Grains
Bank. He also served on
the Provincially-appointed
Agricultural Committee
to study Cow/Calf opera-
tions in Manitoba. Elgin
has served the area as an
ordained Minister for over
50 years and was a found-
ing member and manager
of the United Church Youth
Camp for 24 years. He con-
tinues to be involved in
the community and sits as
a member of the Onanole
Recreation Centre Board.
Hall had the infuence
of his father to be involved
in the community. As a
young boy, my father was
very often gone in the eve-
nings doing some sort of
community service, Elgin
said. Tis was the starting
point for me to realize that
somebody that does not
stand very tall but casts a
wide shadow, like my dad
and myself, can make a dif-
ference in the community
by stepping up in a quiet
way.

T
hree Erickson com-
muni t y member s
were awarded with the
honour of the Queen
Elizabeth II Diamond Ju-
bilee Medal at the Towns
Chamber of Commerce
Christmas dinner. The
Town of Erickson nomi-
nated Dr. Ajai Khandelw-
al, Vaughan Ullberg, and
John Braschuk Jr. for the
Diamond Jubilee medal
for their years of service
to Erickson and the sur-
rounding area.
Erickson Mayor, Val
Soltys, who, along with
Deputy Mayor, Tami
Johnson, made the medal
presentations to the re-
cipients.
Dr. Khandelwal, who
resides in Minnedosa,
said It feels great. I felt
very moved when I found
out about this and I am
very appreciative to be a
recipient of the medal.
Dr. Khandelwal has
been serving the Erick-
son community through
his medical work since
March 1974 after he was
hired by the Erickson
Medical Nursing Unit.
Dr. Khandelwal has held
summer offices in Sandy
Lake and Riding Moun-
tain National Park and
continues to practise in
Minnedosa.
Ullberg and Braschuk
are both members of the
Erickson Volunteer Fire
Department. It was not
possible to recognize ev-
ery member but both the
Fire Chief and Deputy Fire
Chief have set an example
to others through their
long term commitment,
Soltys said. Between Ull-
berg and Braschuk, they
have provided 63 years of
service to the community
through the volunteer fire
department.
Vaughan joined the
department in 1983 and
has been the Fire Chief
since 1990. John became
involved with the depart-
ment in 1978 and became
the Deputy Fire Chief in
1993.

O
n the 15th of December, Frank Kucher and son
Rick Kucher, motored to Hudson Bay, SK, to visit
Franks brother, Stan Kucher in the hospital there, in the
last stages of his battle with cancer. Later on the 22nd
of December, Stan passed away in the hospital, with his
son Joe, by his side. Tere will be a memorial held in
Onanole in the early Spring or Summer. Stan was born
on the family farm East of Onanole, and later he and his
wife lived there for many years before selling the farm
and moving to Edmonton, AB. Clara, Stans wife passed
away there a few years ago. Stan was living with his son
Joe at Hudson Bay when he was taken ill.

I would like to wish all our readers a Happy New
Year and all the best for 2013.
I
t was a great fall session
for the PC Party of Mani-
toba. In the very short ses-
sion of the Legislative As-
sembly that wrapped on
December 6th. We pressed
the government on many
key issues.
We pressed them on
their Trone Speech and
the lack of any real sub-
stance contained in it. We
demanded the NDP come
clean with Manitobans
about the deepening f-
nancial hole its been dig-
ging the province into.
A bill was passed dur-
ing this session that will
protect the employment of
parents who take a leave of
absence when their child
is critically ill, disappears
or has passed on.
For three weeks, in the
peoples house, we asked
this NDP government
for its projections for the
budget and any potential
tax implications for Mani-
tobans. Tey refused to
answer those calls. Ten,
less than a week after the
close of session, Premier
Selinger stated that the
current government will
not be able to balance the
books until 2016-2017, in-
stead of in 2014 that was
promised in the 2011 elec-
tion.
We also requested
more information about
the inner workings of Child
and Family Services in re-
lation to the Phoenix Sin-
clair Inquiry and shone a
light on the incompetence
of the minister in that de-
partment.
We debated issues of
poverty and the dramatic
increase in use of food
banks by children.
We drew attention
to the rush to super-size
Manitoba Hydro and the
poor state of the prov-
inces infrastructure. We
will continue to push this
government to be more ac-
countable to Manitobans.
Since session wrapped
I have enjoyed visiting
with constituents at our
open house in December
and delivering Christmas
ornaments within the con-
stituency. I am looking
forward to working with
constituents and councils
in the New Year.

Minnedosa 867-2957
By IAN THORLEIFSON
W
e all know Snowbirds
who head south
to warm locations for
the winter. Not many
choose Minnedosa as
that warm location, but
the volunteers of the
32nd Annual Minnedosa
Christmas Bird Count
found one. Northern
Hawk Owls live most of
their lives in the Northern
Coniferous forests, moving
further afeld when prey
populations are low at
home.
At 113 years the longest
running Citizen Science
survey in the world, the
annual Christmas Bird
Count is now completed.
From Alaska to Antarctica,
tens of thousands of
volunteers have added
another year of valuable
data vital to conservation
of birds and their habitat.
Armed with binoculars
and note books, local
volunteers covered a 24
kilometer diameter circle
surrounding Minnedosa
and identifed and counted
all the birds they could
identify on December 29.
Scientists rely on
these data to better
understand how birds
and the environment
we share are faring. Just
like canaries in the coal
mine, birds serve as early
indicators of problems
that can eventually afect
people and wildlife.
Data from the Christmas
count are at the heart of
several scientifc reports,
including Audubons
recent report that climate
change is already having
an impact on birds across
the continent.
Highlights of this years
Minnedosa count were
the Northern Hawk Owl
patrolling the south side of
town, numerous Red and
Whitewinged Crossbills
feeding on spruce
cones and sunfowers
and a Mourning Dove
frequenting a feeder near
Bethany. Although the
area of open water has
been restricted by the
recent deep cold, our long-
term resident Canada
Goose with its mallard
duck buddies are toughing
out the winter below the
dam.
Te CBC began a
century ago when 27
conservationists in
25 localities, led by
scientist and writer Frank
Chapman, changed the
course of ornithological
history. On Christmas Day
in 1900, the small group
posed an alternative to the
side hunt, a Christmas
day activity in which teams
competed to see who could
shoot the most birds and
small mammals. Instead,
Chapman proposed
that they identify, count,
and record all the birds
they saw, founding
what is now considered
to be the worlds most
signifcant citizen-based
conservation efort .
When Frank Chapman
started the Christmas Bird
Count, it was a visionary
act, said Bird Studies
Canada president George
Finney. No one could have
predicted how important
the Count would become
as a resource and a tool
for conservation. Te
data also helps document
success stories such as
the comeback of the
previously endangered
Bald Eagle, and signifcant
increases in waterfowl
populations, both the
result of conservation
eforts.
CBC compilers enter
their count data via
Audubons website where
the 113th Count results are
viewable in near real-time.
Explore this information
for the current winter or
visit a count from the past
to see how the birds are
faring in your area and all
over the Americas.

H
elen Lewandoski and
Myrcel and Shirley
Sheeshka were recent re-
cipients of the Queen Eliz-
abeth II Diamond Jubilee
medal. A medal presenta-
tion ceremony was held
at the Sandy Lake Drop-
in Centre with roughly 50
people in attendance on
the morning of Tursday,
December 20th. Dauphin-
Swan River-Marquette MP
Robert Sopuck made the
medal presentations.
Lewandoski was nom-
inated by her friend Iris
Popplestone and is being
recognized in the areas of
voluntary service, commu-
nity service, heritage and
history, and arts and cul-
ture.
Helen is a strong ad-
vocate for Breast Can-
cer Awareness and is in-
volved in Breast Cancer
Awareness Month and the
Dragon Boat Race. She is
a founding member of the
Sandy Lake Ukrainian Her-
itage Museum and serves
on numerous community
groups, one if which is the
Communities in Bloom
committee.
My journey with can-
cer has taught me how to
enjoy life and it has taught
me to give, Lewandoski
said after receiving her
medal. I do the work I do
because I enjoy it and also
for the great people that
I get the chance to work
with.
Myrcel and Shirley
Sheeshka were joint recipi-
ents of the Diamond Jubi-
lee medal. Te Sheeshkas
were nominated by Joanne
Peech.
Shirley worked at
the Sandy Lake Elemen-
tary School for 38 years
and presently works as
an educational assistant
at Erickson Elementary
School. Myrcel worked at
the Shoal Lake Southpark
Service Centre from 2002-
2010 after retiring from
farming and was a school
trustee for the former Pelly
Trail School Division from
1978-1986.
Ukrainian Heritage is
important to the Sheesh-
kas and Shirley was instru-
mental in organizing the
Oakburn Teren Dancers in
1980 and was a voluntary
choreographer for many
years. Te Sheeshkas are
also actively involved in
the Oakburn Ukrainian
Catholic Church.
Myrcel and I feel
very, very humbled and
overwhelmed that we were
nominated and chosen for
the Diamond Jubilee Med-
al. It is a very highly trea-
sured award, Shirley said.
Over 60,000 Canadi-
ans are being honoured
for their contributions and
achievements by receiving
the Diamond Jubilee med-
al.
