est we forget. The town

of Minnedosa honoured its veterans with
Remembrance Day services. Tanners Crossing
School held their service
on Thursday, November
10th, as the school would
be closed the following
day. The community service was held on November 11th at the Minnedosa
Community and Conference Centre. During each
ceremony, adults and children alike filled the room,
proudly wearing their poppy over their heart.
Each of the two services saw members from
Legion Branch #138 and ladies auxiliary members in
attendance, and they were
marched in at both services
by piper Dan Jardine, who
donned full kilt attire. Our
national anthem was sung
at each, and was followed by
the last post and a moment
of silence to remember all
who fought for the freedom
that we enjoy today. Each
service also included the
presence of RCMP members and the cadets.
At the TCS service, the
two co-presidents of student council, Tyra Miller
and Danielle Brykaliuk,
emceed the ceremony and
called up students from
each class throughout the
service to present. The
presentations ranged from
one or two students to entire classes, and included
poems, songs, and read-

ings. Poems such as Please
Wear a Poppy were read
aloud by students. The presentations of handmade
poppies for each of the Legion and Ladies Auxiliary
members were made by
students in the kindergarten class. Topics that were
also touched on during the

ceremony were the role of

women and nurses in the
two world wars, the contributions of our countrys
Indigenous peoples, as well
as members of Minnedosas community who have
fought in war.
Duane LaCoste, President of the Minnedosa Le-

at the TCS service, told The

Town Preparing For CAOs Retirement

By HILLARY CAMPBELL

he Town of Minnedosa
will soon be in search
of a new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Ken
Jenkins, who has held
the position since January 2006, will be retiring
at the end of 2017. This
may seem like a long time
away, but the months will
go quickly, and it wont be
easy to find someone to fi ll
the void he will leave behind.
A CAO is an integral
part of any organization,
and within a town, this
person has to wear many
hats. According to Mayor Ray Orr, the CAO is in
charge of administration,
attends council meetings,
implements council priorities, keeps council on
the straight and narrow,
has to be skilled in financial management, human
resource
management,
must possess technical
skills, be knowledgeable
in land use and municipal law, and have analytical, problem solving, and
leadership skills. In addition to this, the CAO needs
to have knowledge about
what is happening in the
business community. Orr
noted that, you cant sit
back and wait for things to
happen, youve got to be
the leader of council, the

myCommunity
Neighbours Indeed

leader of staff .
With such a variety of
skills required, one might
ask how will we ever find
someone to fi ll Kens position? Fear not. Mayor
Orr and the town council
have already set a plan in
action. Mayor Orr mentioned that we thought we
better have a sit down with
council and decide how
we are going to approach
this whole thing. That is
just what they did. Ideally,
council will have found
someone to fi ll the position during the summer
months, so that if need-be,
they can settle into town
and register their kids in
school (if applicable).
Having made the decision to forego a headhunting outfi t, council needed
to look into what was required to hire a new CAO.
The fi rst thing they decided
was necessary is to do a
search. Mayor Orr told The
Tribune that, we are probably not going to make a
big deal about going out of
Manitoba, and the reason
for that is we think people
from here generally have
a better idea of our municipal act and our issues.
One thing that has made
the whole process easier,
according to Mayor Orr, is
the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM)
guide to hiring CAOs.
Th e guide provides tips
that will help the council

Once interviews start, the

whole council will become
involved. Mayor Orr commented that, we figured
we might as well have the
whole council involved
because everybody is going to have a say in it. The
plan is to have the interviews completed in June,
and council hopes to have
the final decision made by
mid-summer.
Ideally, the successful candidate would start
the position a couple of
months ahead of Jenkins
retirement, allowing them
time to become familiar
with their new position. If
the initial search for candidates is not successful,
council may hire a headhunting outfit, however

Work will commence as of November 14, 2016
at the Minnedosa Dam to drill through the piers

the new medical clinic.

Yet the new CAO will need
a sharp pencil because, as
is often the case, there are
all kinds of things to do,
and not enough money to
do them, said Mayor Orr.
Another priority will be
the new event centre. With
Federal funding having
dried up, money that has
been raised must be used
for the upkeep of the old
event centre until the new
centre is up and running.
Additionally, the reassessment of the Husky Ethanol
plant in town which resulted in payments being
returned to the company
over the course of the next
few years means that the
town will have less money
coming in from the commercial sector. This will
further make it a challenge
for the new CAO because,
as Mayor Orr stated, the
tax base has shrunk, which
means that if the budget
doesnt shrink, you take
less from commercial and
more from residential.
However, challenges aside,
Jenkins noted that, council has a very strict regiment as to how they are
going to do this selection,
and the selection process
is well thought out. I feel
quite confi dent that well
get somebody in here that
is competent and with
the towns best interest at
heart.
The new CAO will have
challenges before him or
her. However, the candidate will have the support
of the current council for
another two years, but
there will be significant
changes after that. The
public, as a general rule,
expects that basic things
are going to be up to snuff,
and I think we do a pretty
good job at that, said Mayor Orr, weve been fortunate to have Ken in that
position, and hes certainly
experienced and knowledgeable. Orr also noted
however, that there is a
very good staff on hand as
well, that they have been
there for a while, and know
what needs to be done.
Jenkins concluded the interview by saying that, its
been very rewarding, and
at the time its going to be
eleven years, and I consider it 10 years to be able
to provide what I hope was
adequate service to the
community.

Foundation Gives $86,000 Back To Community

By HILLARY CAMPBELL

he Minnedosa and
District Foundation
held their annual luncheon on November 14th.
The event was held at the
Minnedosa Curling Club,
and had a variety of people, each representing a
different group to receive
a donation. The donations
that were given this day
came on the heels of the
receipt of funds from the
Thomas Sill Foundation in
Winnipeg.
The first order of business at the luncheon was,
of course, lunch. Missy
Inkster of the Minnedosa
Curling Club provided
guests with two delicious
soup options, and numerous croissant sandwich
options.
Bruce McNabb, chairman of the Minnedosa
and District Foundation,
stood up and thanked all
attendees for taking the
time to be there. Following lunch, the members
of the foundation began
to call up the recipients of
the grants for 2016.

Representatives from the various groups, organizations and projects which received funding
support from the Minnedosa and District Foundation grant program this year.
The first recipient was
the Westman Diabetes
Camp, receiving a grant
of $1,000. Other grants
received were the Museum and Heritage Village
($3,000), the Khandelwal
Scholarship ($500), The
Minnedosa Band Association ($1,000), Communi-

ties in Bloom ($1,000), Expressions Concert Series

($1,000), MCIs Model
UN ($1,150), Rockin the
Fields ($5,000), Minor
Baseball ($6,000), Youth
Soccer ($4,000), Minnedosa Fun Fest ($2,000), RRFA
($500), Averill Scholarship
($2,000), Cooper Memo-

rial Scholarship ($200),

Archives ($1,000), Horticultural Society ($500),
Minnedosa Child Care Coop ($1,500), Services to Seniors ($1,350), Minnedosa
Library ($500), South
Mountain Refugee Fund
($1,000), TCS Health Promotion ($1,000), Victorias

Quilts ($1,000), MREC

($8,000), and the Beach
Enhancement Playground
($7,500).
An additional grant
was made towards the Dr.
Ajai Khandelwal Primary
Care Centre in the amount
of $35,000. This, putting
the goal for the Primary

Care Centre ever closer to

being within reach.
With over $10,000 of
the funds that were granted this year going towards
sports programs and
health promotion, as well
as the $35,000 that went
towards the Primary Care
Centre, it would appear
that a focus was placed
this year on a healthy
Minnedosa.
Minnedosa is very
lucky to have a community foundation that provides so much benefit to
its citizens and their organizations.
The total
amount that was granted
to the various organizations was $86,700. This is
an increase from last year,
when only $68,750 was
given. There were a number of organizations that
received funds in 2015
who did not receive funds
in 2016, however many
new organizations were
added to the list of recipients this year, and it was
apparent that each was
very happy to have been
considered.

Remembrance Day
Continued
from Page 1
The end of the TCS
ceremony saw the grade
eight class enter the gym
for a very moving candle
lit service, in which they
each held a candle and
read aloud the name of
a community member
who fought in one of the
wars. As each name was
read aloud, the candle was
blown out. The purpose of
the candle lit service was
to commemorate the sacrifices made for the people
of Canada. Scott Collen
from the Legion, who currently works out of Shilo,
spoke at the service, telling the students about his
two tours in Afghanistan,
which made the services
provided to our country
much more relatable to
students.
The following day,
at the Community Centre, citizens of Minnedosa
gathered to share in the
remembrance of our veterans. A prayer of invocation
was spoken by the Rever-

end Natasha Pearen, followed by the Lords Prayer.

After this, the poem In
Flanders Fields was read
aloud by Commander Janis Wahoski.
The laying of the
wreaths also took place
during the ceremony.
Wreaths were presented by the Government
of Canada (Archie Londry), the Province of
M a n i t o b a ( Ja c q u e l i n e
Peckover), Legion Branch
138 (Duane LaCoste),
the Legion Ladies Auxiliary (Valerie St. John), the
Town of Minnedosa (Mayor Ray Orr), Minnedosa
Lions Club (Gary Macdowall), Mothers (Lois Collen),
Korean War Veterans (Jim
Clark), RCMP (Constable
Andrew Cowan), 12th
Manitoba Dragoons (Warren Pearson), Tanners
Crossing School (Tyra

Ward Officer Hailey Rapsky), Navy Cadets (Petty
Officer Rebecca Taylor),
Merchant Marines (Jim
Clark), Manitoba Metis
veterans (Jotaro Fleury and
George Fleury), Franklin
veterans (Ron Parrott), and
the Knights of Columbus.
After the wreaths were
laid, the colour party was
assembled by Sergeantat-arms Commander John
Earle, the crowd sang God
Save the Queen, and were
then marched out of the
hall by piper Dan Jardine.
Minnedosas pride in its
veterans was apparent
during the ceremonies. It
was shown by the high attendance at the ceremonies and by the respect that
weighed heavily throughout.

s consumers, we expect that our shops and services will be open when we need them and carry
the items that we want. I would say that this is especially true of only people that have come to our
prairie setting from a larger city, but thats not the
case. The same can be said of most of us who enjoy the modern day convenience of getting what we
want when we want it. However, the challenge arises
when we arent routine patrons of those businesses
that our demand doesnt line up with the anticipated
need.
Take for example a restaurant Minnedosa has
an anecdotal reputation for being a difficult place to
dine out. I have heard that the irregular hours and
the lack of consistent evening dining has led many to
steer clear of our community when they are planning
a night out perhaps instead driving to Neepawa or
Brandon. This is not a slight on the restaurateurs who
operate locally, as there is a strong local clientele that
manages to fi ll the seats just fine. It is, however, a
refl ection of the expectation that a business will be
available whenever our occasional interest brings us
to the door.
On the fl
ipside of that, we have seen entrepreneurs try to accommodate the demand. However,
when a dining establishment commits to be open to
the public in the evening to respond to the demand
that they are hearing about on the street, they might
often find themselves paying staff to mind an empty

RXWRI

building. As customers, our behavior will dictate

what we can expect from our business community.
If we dont go out to eat on a Monday night, its only
a matter of time before there are no restaurants open
on Monday evening. The schedules that we see in
store windows are reflective of the patterns that we,
ourselves have created. In some ways, it is a similar debate to that of the chicken and the egg what
needs to come first?
The same applies to the types of products that we
would like to see available in local stores instead of
fi nding ourselves making a trip to Brandon. If you
are a dedicated local supporter of a local shop, you
develop a rapport with the shop owner, chances are
that any product that you desire can be ordered.
However, we must also be prepared for the reality
that in small quantities it may be a dollar or two more
than we might see it listed elsewhere. But heres a
bit of a shocking revelation: It costs more than two
dollars to drive to Brandon, so that small mark-up at
home represents a savings in both time and money.
There isnt a single business in a rural town that
doesnt adapt to the behaviors and spending trends
of the community that it serves. Some towns might
see that their local pharmacy is closed on weekends,
some mom and pop shops might adjust their schedule to close during identifi ed slow days during the
week in lieu of taking a weekend. If you want to affect change in either the schedule or the products
and services off ered by local business, you do have
the power to do it. Its not a matter of the customer
always being right, but instead that your money talks.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk. You can find me under the

Achieving Family Harmony
SUBMITTED

he family is the basic

unit of society; the
family -- no matter what
form it takes is responsible for the upbringing
and nurturing of children
into responsible, caring
adults. Children are the
products of their family environment: harmony in the home will lead
to harmony in the wider
community. To this end,
Manitoba Womens Institute (MWI) proudly presented a Manitoba Rural
Womens Day event on
Saturday, October 15th,
2016, at Rivers, and on
October 29th in Dugald.
The theme of the program
at both sites was Achieving Family Harmony. The
three speakers were Gerry Friesen (Dealing with
Family Conflict), Shirley
Scott (Understanding your
Finances) and Marsha
Harris (Effective Family
Communication). Gerry,
a mediation expert, was
very down-to-earth and
humorous a great way
to begin the event with
laughter and personal
anecdote. He stressed the
importance of relationships, pointing out that a

Friday, November 18, 2016

perfect relationship is two

imperfect people making
it work. Shirleys task was
to show the audience that
conflict can be avoided
if finances are handled
wisely. One sound piece
of advice was make a
will. Marsha was the final speaker, and although
she had a quiet voice, she
brought a powerful message. She is a counsellor
at Brandon University and
spoke about secure attachments and how an
attachment that is not secure can lead to conflict.
Often an argument about
dirty dishes in the sink is
not about dirty dishes but
about the simple, but unspoken question Are you
there for me? .
A feature of the day
was a Fireside Chat, which
was a conversation on
dealing with family conflict. The moderator of
this was Marina James,
founder and co-host of
SHE Day; the panelists
were Karen Kaplen, Vicki
Olatundun, and Wilma
Derksen. Karen is the
President of the Winnipeg/Interlake Region of
MWI; Wilma is a coach
and therapist and has
written five books since

her daughter Candace

was murdered in 1984;
and Vicki is the Executive
Director of the Steinbach
Family Resource Centre.
They all spoke candidly
about their experiences,
both personal and professional, and gave some
positive, practical advice
on how to deal with family conflict. For example,
have you ever tried to use
sandwich language in a
conflict? It can be very effective to diffuse a conflict
when you sandwich a
point of view between two
expressions of caring.
Between 90 and 100
women attended each
event, and much appreciation was expressed about
the caliber of the speakers. There was ample time
for networking during the
breaks, and all the speakers stayed until the end
of the day to connect
and chat. Many positive
comments were received
about the opportunity to
network and connect with
other women, the camaraderie, and the atmosphere. One person noted
the power of sitting with
a room full of women who
are learning. In both locations, attendees were wel-

comed by MWI President

Ann Mandziuk. Morning
greetings were extended
by MLA Greg Nesbitt and
Mayor Todd Gill in Rivers, and by the Honourable Ron Schuler, Manitoba Minister of Crown
Services, in Dugald. MWI
is appreciative of all the
sponsors, especially the
major sponsors, RBC and
the Government of Manitoba through the Healthy
Together Now program.
Twelve new MWI memberships were sold during
the events; the winners of
free memberships were
Jennifer Mueller and Betty
Senger. Sonja Mueller and
Kelly Lewis each won spa
gift certificates.
Manitoba
Rural
Womens Day is an MWI
initiative meant to bring
topics of interest to rural
women into communities.

by December 15th. Names

are kept strictly confidential.
This is the third year
that MDSS has offered this

Former BU Bobcats Reunite On The Ice

By HILLARY CAMPBELL

n Saturday, November 5th, the Brandon

University Bobcats Hockey team reunited. The two
games were played at the
Sportsplex on the BU campus. The puck dropped at
1 p.m. for the first game of
the day.
Minnedosas
Glen
McNabb, current Principal at Elton Collegiate,
and former Bobcat hockey
player was very excited
about the game. There
were enough alumni from
the hockey teams to create four teams. All four of
the teams were made up
of Bobcat alumni. There
were two teams who were
in the 50+ category. The
other two teams were
made up of alumni who
were 49 and under. Joining McNabb in the reunion games from the local area were Kit Harrison,
Brian Bruce, Ted Temple,

Glennis Scott and Tom

Hinch.
Th e hockey program
at Brandon University was
alive and well for almost a
century. It started in 1909,
but ultimately came to an
end after the 2001-2002
season.
McNabb, who played
from 1985 1989 commented that, There were
a lot of the original Brandon college Caps players there watching and
a couple of them even
played in the game. The
reunion was well attended, and McNabb told The
Tribune that, There was
a player who came all
the way from Norway for
the reunion and to play
in the game. Playing in
the game was a previous
goalie who has since had a
hip replacement, but still
managed to play in the
game as a forward. Another of the goalies that
McNabb played with had

not played hockey in 15

years, and had to borrow
goalie equipment in order to participate. There
were many Bobcat hockey
alumni who showed up to
watch the games, but did
not lace up.
Russ Paddock and Tyler Crayston were the organizers of the event, and
Crayston was, relentless
in making sure that he got
as many players as possible to come back to the
reunion, calling some guys
numerous times if they
showed any signs of backing out, said McNabb.
Th e players all had
a great time during their
reunion, and were all
able to swap current cell
phone numbers, which,
as McNabb pointed out,
did not exist in the 1980s.
Th ey spent the weekend
catching up on each others lives, and reminiscing about their glory days.
They laughed about pranks

played, recalled tournaments and hotels stays,
and the bus trips to and
from games.
It was a wonderful

weekend for the Bobcat

hockey alumni. McNabb
concluded by commenting
that, The pace was quite a
bit slower than it was back

in the day, but smiles and

laughs were evident upon
everyones face.

Joyce Robinson: The Keeper Of The Cross

By HILLARY CAMPBELL

or 19 years, Joyce Robinson has been volunteering her time to care

for the cross at Kerrs Lake.
The 77 year old has been
maintaining the site since
1997, and has done a great
deal to add to its beauty
over the years.
It was after the passing of her grandson, Tim,
that Robinson found peace
in the restoration of the
grotto. She started going
to the cross to find peace
and decided that restoring
the site would be a way of
getting her mind off of her
grief.
With the help of her
husband, Carl, she began
the project. The restoration project included replacing the picket fence
and painting it, fixing the
trim boards on the cross,
adding a picnic table to the
site, and ridding the site
of dead trees. Joyce noted that when they began
working on the site, the

cross was barely visible because the spruce bows and

grass had taken over the
area. In addition to this,
Robinson plants flowers
each year, and ensures that
the fence and picnic table
have a fresh coat of paint
every other year.
She has also added a
guest-book stand, which
allows any guests to the
grotto the chance to write
their comments. It makes
me feel very blessed to
have put smiles on many
peoples faces whove enjoyed this place, said Robinson. She also added that
there have been guests
from all over the world
who have visited the site.
Ever since the location was
added to various websites
(Geocache and Facebook),
there have been a variety
of visitors.
Another
improvement Robinson has made
to the site is the addition
of solar lights, which light
the stone pathway up to
the cross, a stone pathway

that Robinson also made.

She has also spent many
days hauling water to the
site to water the greenery.
She has loaded up her riding lawnmower and her
push mower and brought
them to the site every other
week during the summer
months to make sure that
the grass is kept presentable.
Th e cross at Kerrs
Lake was put up in 1916
by Mike Slobodian. It was
used as a meeting place
for Catholic settlers in the
area because there was not
enough money at the time
to build a church. It was
not until the late 1920s
that a church was built, so
the site was used for many
years as a place for new
settlers in Canada to worship. It includes a cross
with a crucifi x on it, and
fi ve spruce trees, which
represent the five holes
that went into Jesus body.
Recently,
Robinson
went to see the town council and inquired about

receiving financial assistance to maintain the grotto, however her request

was denied. She is concerned that once she is no
longer able to maintain the
grotto at Kerrs Lake Cross,
it will once again fall into
disrepair. With her husband having a stroke four
years ago, it has been difficult for Robinson to maintain the site, however she
has continued to maintain
a high standard of beauty
at the site.
Robinson would love
to have financial assistance in helping her maintain the site, however, it is
important to her to see that
the site is maintained once
she is no longer able to do
the task herself. She commented that, Im going to
do it as long as I can, but
when you get to my age,
there comes the time when
you know its time to step
aside and let somebody
else do it.

HELEN BIALAS (nee CHUPKA)

APRIL 25TH, 1926 OCTOBER 30TH, 2016

Helen Bialas (nee Chupka)

passed away at her home on
the farm at the age of 90. She
enjoyed farm life with all its
beauty, flowers, chickens, pets,
large garden and lots of independence.
Mom was born and raised in
Ozerna, Manitoba. She received
her education at Frazer school. In
1947 she met and later married
Nick. They moved to their farm in Clear
Lake District where they raised their
family. Farming was hard work but Mom always found time
to enjoy her gardening, baking and preparing her traditional
Ukrainian food. Mom was known far and wide for delicious
creations and many would flock to her flea market table or to
her home to pick uptheir orders. She enjoyed visitors and you
would never go away hungry. Mom had a talent of being able
to prepare a full course meal within a short time. Family members would often be heard saying if I had a dollar for every perogy Baba made I would be a millionaire. She took pride in her
hard work and the yard showed that with all its colours. Mom
was admired for her traditional ways. Her passion and talent in
gardening, canning, cooking and baking trickled down to her
family who are honoured to carry on those traditions. Mom was
a devoted member of her church and her faith was strong and
heartfelt. She attended St. Judes Roman Catholic Church of
Erickson regularly. She was also very active in the weekly gatherings in the church basement making many a perogy with her
friends and listening or sharing in conversation. Another interest in Moms life was the Queen as they were born only four days
apart. Mom also enjoyed her satellite dish and when she found
Judge Judy everything else stopped. Even her joys of fishing were
put on hold until the end of Judge Judy. Fishing occupied much
ofher time especially in March. For years she would be found at
or around her ice shack where she was thrilled by trying to catch
that big one. Mom passed awaypeacefully at her home with
the good lord at her side. Her home was her castle and her wishes were to spend her entire life there, which she did to the fullest.
Mom was predeceased by her parents Nick and Mary Chupka, her brothers Mike and Albert and her sisters Francis and
Kay. In 1995 she lost her husband Nick and in June 2016 her
son Melvin.
Left to mourn are her son Leonard (Shirley), and her daughter Janice. Grandchildren Crystal (Craig), Clinton (Doriann),
Nathan (Jody). Four great grandchildren Maria (Mitch), Travis,
Kendra, Cole. Three great great grandchildren Dawson, Hayden
and Carter.
The word legacy means leaving something behind for future generations. Baba did just that and will be sadly missed by
all. She was laid to rest on November 4th, 2016 at the St Judes
Roman Catholic Cemetery.
Rest in peace Mom (Baba).

In Loving Memory of

Left us 10 years ago
NOVEMBER 19TH
The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down
memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday
but missing you is a heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly
within my heart
and there you will remain.
Until the joyous day arrives,
That we will meet again.
Lovingly remembered by
Linda
and family.

Always in my heart,

and family (Abbotsford BC)
x
Charlie passed away
peacefully on October 28th,
2016. He was a dear and faithful companion and will be
sadly and forever missed in all
the days to come. Charlie was
a British White Shorthair. A.
Caughell. x

s the first snow has arrived, it seems at first

glance that everything is
hunkering down for the long
winter ahead. We are losing
about 10 minutes of sunlight
a day, and currently the sun is
just getting up at about 10:15
a.m., and setting around 5:45
p.m.
My work terms ends up
here soon, so Ill be missing
the time when the sun doesnt
rise, starting around November 29th. For the residents of
Paulatuk, this will mark the
beginning of about six weeks
of no sun, with January 12th
marking its return.
Admittedly though, and
as I reported last month, the
residents are still spending a
lot of time on the land at the
moment. This may be due
to the unseasonably warm
weather at the moment,
with highs of 3 and lows of
around 7C. The long-term
average temperatures is about
five to eight degrees cooler, so
everyone is commenting on
the nice weather.
Despite the relative
warmth, most of the inland
lakes are now frozen, as is
the little ocean bay on the
east side of town. This makes
travel a lot easier by quad, as it
is easy to access areas that are
normally too wet to drive on.
As well, the Arctic Char are
starting to gather in the deeper pools in the rivers, and so
nets are set under the ice to
gather a winters worth of fish.
There is a deep conservation
ethic here, and the community has set limits on the number of fish that can be taken
from the river. I went out fishing with Jonah, a community
elder, to check his nets on the
Hornaday River.
The river, even though
fast flowing, is covered with

ice to a depth of about six

inches. The water is crystal
clear, and you can easily see to
the bottom of the river, at least
15 feet below. The nets are set
under the ice using a jigger,
just as they are in Manitoba.
It was a great day, and the
net held eight whitefish and a
single arctic char. The whitefish are divided into those that
are good for eating, while the
rest are used to feed the dogs.
Arctic char, being more desirable, are frozen and stored for
the long winter ahead.
While standing on the
ice, we also observed a large
flock of willow ptarmigan.
These too are a favorite menu
item, so we took some time
out of our fishing to try to bag
a few. One of the younger
hunters, Frank, was able to
shoot six of them.
As is the practice in the
community, he immediately
offered Jonah half the birds.
I helped Jonah quickly pluck
his three birds (no pin feathers on them!), and were then
on our way home.
Like most areas, wildlife can be spotted in fits and
starts here. So, despite seeing the flock of 40 ptarmigan,
I only saw two ravens during
the rest of the day. Which
pretty much sums up the expected bird diversity in the
winter. Ravens, ptarmigan,
and the odd gyrfalcon currently make up the local bird
species.
Other species abound
though, despite the seeming
dearth of wildlife. You just
have to know where to find
them.
Rae and I walked out
along the bay where there is
already quite a bit of ice along
the shore, and out in the distance, we were able to see a
large number of ringed seals
already hauling themselves
out onto the ice.

Seals were once a mainstay for the community, but

it appears that the people no
longer regularly eat them.
They do hunt them from time
to time though, especially
once fall arrives. With their
extra fat, added over the summer of feeding on fish and
mussels, ringed seals will float
when shot.
As for those wondering what the terrain is like,
Rae was up here for a visit
in October, and it struck her
how much the area is like
Grasslands National Park a
wide-open, treeless expanse.
And as I have written before,
I think that the tundra might
serve as a good example of
what the prairies were like before Europeans arrived.
I imagine a place where
large mammals move across
the land. In my mind, the
large herds of caribou would
be replaced by deer, antelope,
and elk, as muskox would be
replaced by bison. Even the
arctic ground squirrels about
the same size as prairie dogs.
At the same time, many of the
physical factors are the same.
Like the prairie it is dry here,
and the wind is a constant
companion.
The other similarity is the
silence. I think I have mentioned this before, but there
is nothing quite so quiet as
the prairie or the tundra, especially when the wild things
are hunkered down because
of the wind or the cold.
Regardless of prairie or tundra, there are people who are
adapted to the land. Ill be
back in Manitoba by the time
you read this, replacing one
landscape for another. Im
hoping for a warm November, although I must admit
my body is already adjusted to
early winter.

November Is 4-H Month In Manitoba

By ASHLEY
MAGNUSSON

here was a 4-H meeting at the MCI Cafeteria on Monday, November

7th, with four of the Teen
members and thirteen
Multipurpose members
present.
Th ere were a lot of
motions and voting at this
meeting. We created sub
committees for several
different events and community service projects
that the committee will be
doing in the coming year.
The sub committees have
a teen member, three multipurpose members and
three parents on them,
and allows the members

to Learn to Do by Doing!
Th e members voted
that we will do a park
cleanup in the Spring,
once all the snow melts
and the garbage needs to
be picked up. We will also
volunteer with Communities In Bloom to assist in
planting flowers, weeding,
and town clean up.
The 4-H Multipurpose
Club passed a motion to
donate $150 to the new
Medical Clinic. The members also voted to do litter patrol for the Esso site,
working with the CDC.
Th ere will be a fun
event of swimming at the
Sportsplex and a night of
Minute to Win It games to
keep things fun and enter-

taining. Speaking of fun

and entertaining, we sang
a song in the middle of
the meeting to keep us focused and on track, it was
funny!
November is 4-H
month in Manitoba, and
the 4th of November is
show your 4-H Colour
Day. Our club was encouraged to wear their
4-H colours and post on
social media. Our head
leader, Corinne Topham
and Rayna Topham went
to Winnipeg to the Legislative Building to be a part
of National 4-H Day.
Linnae Topham discussed her 4-H trip to
Toronto and what she
learned at her meetings.

Photo submitted

There are so many amazing opportunities when

you belong in 4H!
At the end of the meeting, Cole Topham demonstrated a visual presentation to show an example

for the annual Communications Night slated

for February of 2017. We
will be hosting the Zone
Communications here in
Minnedosa, in March of
2017.

All 4-H members put

on their green t-shirts for
a photo so we could show
our 4-H colours at the
meeting!
