Chamber Of Commerce Holds AGM
By HILLARY CAMPBELL
T he Minnedosa Cham-
ber of Commerce met
recently for its Annual Gen-
eral Meeting. The meeting
was held at the Minnedosa
Golf and Curling Club,
where a delicious lunch
was served to attendees.
The lunch began at noon,
which was immediately fol-
lowed by the introduction
of Minnedosas new Eco-
nomic Development Offi-
cer, Chantelle Parrott, who
spoke of her first few weeks
in the new role. This was
followed by introductions
around the table, at which
point the guest speaker,
MLA for Riding Mountain,
Greg Nesbitt, addressed the
group.
Nesbitt began his
speech with thanks to the
Chamber of Commerce
for having him attend, and
commented that in the
months since the Progres-
sive Conservatives have
been in government, they
have, been operating at
a sprinters pace while at-
tempting to cover a mara-

thoners distance. He dis-
cussed the current state of
Manitobas economy, and
noted that we should all
expect responsible fiscal
management from your
government.
He commented on the
success that the Progres-
sive Conservatives had
within their fi rst 100 days.
Our government reduced
the size of Cabinet by 30
percent. We reduced the
budget deficit by $100 mil-
lion, while indexing tax
brackets, and raising the
basic personal exemption,
so you can keep more of the
money you work so hard
for. This was all done with-
out raising taxes, creating
new taxes, or expanding the
base of taxes, said Nesbitt.
He also commented on the
PC governments belief that
jobs and economic growth
are the backbone of the
governments plan to build
a stronger and more pros-
perous Manitoba.
Following his speech,
Nesbitt happily and confi-
dently answered any ques-
tions that the attendees of

the AGM had for him. He
added that he would hap-
pily attend the meetings on
a quarterly or semi-annual
basis.
After the speech,
Minnedosa Chamber of
Commerce President Brad
Ross took the fl oor. He
highlighted some of the
accomplishments of the
Minnedosa Chamber of
Commerce, which cur-
rently has 123 members.
However, being a larger
Chamber of Commerce,
he noted that he is always
happy to see participation,
so it is nice to see a big
crowd out today. He also
noted the work that the

Town to take the ice or

in Minnedosa, we are preparing to celebrate an-
other anniversary of our own historic newspaper,
The Tribune. Next weeks edition will signal the be-
ginning of The Tribunes 135th volume. Not unlike
other small town businesses, the grand old Tribune
has experienced its share of successes and struggles
since our founding publisher, William Gibbens in-
troduced The Minnedosa Tribune back in March
1883.
While there is some uncertainty about the sur-
vival of a small town newspaper in the future, there
are also many successes and positive points which
need to be celebrated. While a number of small town
newspapers have been forced down to a twelve or
even eight page weekly format, The Tribune is for-
tunate to still have the support of our advertisers
to allow us to publish a minimum of sixteen pages
each week. Weeks that we have enough advertising
seen by anyone.
Another point I feel has been an important fac-
tor in The Tribunes longevity is its affordable pric-
ing. As the majority of our advertisers and com-
mercial print customers are independently owned,
small mom and pop businesses or non-profit ser-
vice groups, we try to maintain affordable rates to
fit within our clients minimal advertising budgets.
Still, we are fortunate enough to be able to give back
to the community through various forms of spon-
sorships. Community support is an important factor
in any business large or small.
In closing, as we enter another year of publish-
ing the Oldest Weekly Newspaper in the Canadian
West, we plug along, continuing to tell the stories
of our community and document them for histo-
ry. With the continued support of our readers and
customers, The Minnedosa Tribune will continue

pages are becoming few and far between but are oc-
currences worth celebrating.
Although they still have great value in todays
society, a number of newspapers are seeing a de-
cline in their circulation numbers. In this day of in-
stant news through social media, whether truthful
or gossip, it is becoming harder to attract younger
subscribers to traditional printed newspapers.
More than ever, we have to find and focus on the
stories which no one else is telling or that you cant
read about online or on facebook. Nothing can ever
replace the traditional printed newspaper.
In an effort to try and reach more people than
the traditional newspaper subscribers, a number of
publications have switched from a fee-for-product
to free circulation sending their publication out to
newsstands or post office boxes at no charge. I know
exactly how many Tribunes sell each week. When
someone buys a newspaper it means they want it.
They will take it home and look at it, viewing the sto-
ries and advertising within its pages. They are not
going to spend their hard earned dollar on some-
on and hopefully never face the same fate as The
Grandview Exponent.

Busy February For Police
The Dispatch
By
Cst. JOE PASLOSKI
Neepawa Detachment
O n February 5th, at
approximately 1:00
a.m., police were driving
West on Highway #16 near
Gladstone when a vehicle
approached from behind
and passed police at a
very high rate of speed.
An attempt was made to
stop the vehicle which
ended when driving con-
ditions became dangerous
for both vehicles. Police
continued to search for
the vehicle as it was seen
driving North on #265 to-
wards Plumas and turn
onto a gravel road. While
patrolling, police located
the vehicle in a rural prop-
erty at which time the
vehicle sped towards the
two marked police vehi-
cles and narrowly avoided
a collision. While police
were at this location, it
was found that eight pas-
sengers had exited the
vehicle before the suspect
took off. As a result, police
arrested three youths and
fi ve adults in relation to
the offence and transport-
ed them back to Neepawa
Detachment. Two indi-
viduals, Taylyn Meechas
and Samuel Francouer,
both of Long Plains First
Nation, were also arrested
on outstanding Warrants
of Arrest. While speaking
with all parties involved,
police were told the iden-
tity of the driver. On Feb-
ruary 10th, on the strength
of a Warrant of Arrest, po-
lice located and arrested

sued by police, Dangerous
Operation of Motor Ve-
hicle, Assault on a Police
Officer with a Weapon and
two counts of resisting ar-
rest. All charges are still
before the courts.
On February 5th, at
approximately 8:50 a.m.,
Neepawa RCMP were dis-
patched to a disturbance
at a residence located in
the Municipality of West-
lake-Gladstone. Upon po-
lice arriving, a male was
seen exiting the residence
and then returning back
into the residence when
he saw police. Police en-
tered the residence and
located the male who was
arrested. Police located
loaded firearms in the res-
idence near the male. As
a result, Timothy Hassard
has been charged with
Careless use of a Firearm
and two counts of Unsafe
Storage of Firearms.
On February 8th, at
approximately 12:30 p.m.,
Neepawa RCMP were
called to a residence on
Whitmore Crescent for a
domestic disturbance. A
male had reported that
he was assaulted by his
partner. Police attended
the residence and upon
investigation determined
that both parties had as-
saulted each other. As a
result, both parties were
arrested/charged for do-
mestic assault.
On February 8th po-
lice conducted a traffic
stop on Highway #16 and
found a male driver from
Saskatchewan to be op-
erating a motor vehicle
Friday, March 10, 2017
while disqualifi ed. The
driver was charged under
the Highway Traffic Act
and the vehicle was im-
pounded. The following
day, the registered owner
attended the Minnedosa
Court Office and applied
to have the vehicle re-
leased which was granted.
Th e owner attended the
Neepawa Detachment
with the release docu-
ments and had her vehicle
released. The male driver
was also present and was
warned not to operate the
vehicle again. The warn-
ing must have fallen on
deaf ears as a short time
later, police located the
same male operating the
same vehicle. Mirza Cal-
kic of Saskatoon, SK was
once again charged with
driving while disqualified
and Cheryl Sakundiak was
also charged permitting
an unauthorized person
to drive. The vehicle was
once again impounded.
On February 10th, at
approximately 10:45 p.m.,
Minnedosa RCMP were
called to the Minnedosa
Inn for a fi ght in progress
involving a number of in-
dividuals. Police arrived
to fi nd all the individuals
gone, except for one male
who had received injuries
to his head and a pane of
glass at the entrance that
didnt make it through
the disturbance. A male
suspect was located and
arrested for assault with a
weapon, however, the vic-
tim did not want to coop-
erate with police. As a re-
sult, Robert Demchuk and
Thereon Laquette, both of
Minnedosa, were charged
with being disorderly in or
near a licenced premises.
Shanella Spence was ar-
rested and charged with
Mischief under $5,000 for
smashing a window at the
TRIBUNE DEADLINE
Tuesday at 12 noon
Minnedosa Inn.
On February 12th at
approximately 10:30 a.m.,
Neepawa RCMP came
across an intoxicated male
walking on Mill Street.
Police checks confirmed
the male was on an under-
taking to abstain from the
consumption of alcohol.
As a result, Alan Crook
was arrested and charged
for Failing to Comply with
a Condition of his Under-
taking.
On February 25th,
at approximately 11:15
p.m., Minnedosa RCMP
observed a vehicle fail to
stop at a stop sign at the
junction of Highways #10
and #24. A traffic stop
was conducted and a lone
male was observed in the
vehicle. Police noticed an
open can of beer located
in the back seat and had
the male exit the vehicle to
dump out the beer. At this
time, it became evident to
police that the driver may
be impaired. The driver
was arrested for impaired
operation of a motor vehi-
cle and transported back
to the Minnedosa RCMP
Detachment to provide
samples of his breath.
Th e male provided two
samples of breath with
both readings of 200 mil-
ligrams of alcohol in 100
millilitres of blood. As
a result, Jeffrey Gunnar-
son of Onanole has been
charged with Impaired
Operation of a Motor Ve-
hicle.
During the month of
February, Spruce Plains
RCMP responded to a to-
tal of 222 files.
Speeder of the month
went to David Horman

1917 Mr. and Mrs. Lumley met with a serious
loss when his dwelling house was destroyed by fire
last week. They escaped with just the clothes on their
backs. Total loss is estimated at $2,000.
1937 Motor communication between Minnedosa
and Erickson was resumed this week as badly drift-
ed highways were cleared by shovel gangs working
from both communities. The shovelers from Erickson
cleared the road as far as Cameron School where they
were met by the Minnedosa gang.
1957 At the Town Council meeting, under the
property committee, John Kosmolak reported that
nine local businesses have been inspected by the
health inspector and only two were found to have toi-
let facilities.
1967 RCMP are attempting to identify a man who
was found deceased by the CPR track last Thursday
morning by a local grade 7 student. Death was appar-
ently due to a broken neck.
1977 Council gave approval in principle to a pro-
posal of subdivision that could accommodate 250 new
homes on 105 acres of farmland at the southwest edge
of town. Plans call for the construction of 50 houses
yearly for a period of five years.
1987 John Mendrikis has been re-appointed to
the presidency of the Minnedosa Chamber of Com-
merce. For 1987 Steve Benson will be Vice President
with Linda Masters as Secretary Treasurer. Rick Bur-
gess will head the membership committee with Ger-
ald Sparrow in charge of tourism and Bruce McNabb,
the Crime Stoppers committee.
1997 Mayor Terry Drebit reports that the Towns
fi nancial state is as strong as it has probably ever
been. For the year 1996, the town realized a surplus

GREG NESBITT
Riding Mountain MLA
Y our Manitoba govern-
ment has returned to
the House to continue our
work on legislation for the
benefi t of people across
our province, and to keep
moving forward in mak-
ing Manitoba the most im-
proved province in Canada.
We resumed the legis-
lative session on Wednes-
day, March 1st, staying on
our course to fix Manitobas
fi nances. Before entering
the House, our Progres-
sive Conservative Caucus
announced that we have
unanimously agreed to vol-
untarily freeze our wages
until the next provincial
election. As Premier Brian
Pallister has said, we are
leading Manitoba on a road
to recovery following the
previous NDP administra-
tions decade of debt and
fiscal irresponsibility and
to deal with these challeng-
es effectively, it requires all
hands on deck across the
province. Th at begins at
the legislature, where our
government caucus is do-
By
ing its part and leading by
example.
With the House back
in session for the next three
months, we are continu-
ing to follow the ambitious
vision laid out in our sec-
ond Th rone Speech last
fall. This vision is a path not
only toward fiscal balance
and responsibility, but to
economic opportunity. Fol-
lowing our recent launch
of an exciting new phase of
our Look North Strategy to
increase business invest-
ment in northern Manitoba,
and our announcements of
several measures to reduce
red tape for businesses and
non-profi t groups, we re-
sumed this session by mov-
ing ahead with legislation
to implement Manitobas
involvement in the New
West Partnership Trade
Agreement. Through this
new partnership with the
other western provinces,
we will increase Mani-
tobas trade, expand op-
portunities for businesses
in our province and create
17032LL2
more quality jobs.
Our government is
working with Manitobans
to also ensure the sus-
tainability and security of
front-line services, includ-
ing some of our most im-
portant services in child
welfare. Immediately after
returning to the House this
month, we introduced leg-
islation to strengthen the
powers of the Childrens
Advocate as an indepen-
dent officer in order to bet-
ter address the needs of
kids in care. The new Advo-
cate for Children and Youth
Act will ensure greater pub-
lic accountability in Mani-
tobas child-welfare system
and expand the mandate of
the Childrens Advocate be-
yond Child and Family Ser-
vices, to help other vulner-
able kids and young adults.
As this legislative ses-
sion resumed, these were
only our initial steps in
our continuing work to fix
our fi nances, repair our
services and rebuild our
economy. Were doing
much more in the next few
months of this session to
achieve these goals. We are
also continuing to govern
with integrity and inclusion
while listening to Manito-
bans and working for all of
them to create a stronger,
safer and more prosperous
province.

T he Minnedosa Ban-
tams pressed their
Hometown Advantage
this past weekend by cap-
turing the Bantam A Pro-
vincial Championship. The
team of 13 and 14 year-old
boys defeated the Swan
Valley Stampeders 5-2 in
the Gold Medal Final to put
a storybook ending to their
season.
After losing their ini-
tial game of the weekend
Friday morning to familiar
foe, the Rivers Jets, by a 5-1
margin, the boys bounced
back Friday night to defeat
the Carman Cougars by a
4-1 score and built on that
momentum by defeating
the MacDonald Wolverines
by a 6-4 score on Saturday
with goalie Tanner Hanson
making some timely saves
to preserve the win.
This put the boys in
second place in their pool
and facing the top-seeded
Virden Oil Caps in the Sun-
day morning Semi-Final
game. Virden got the early
lead but the Bombers bat-
tled back, with Lucas Par-
rott scoring to tie the game
at one after the opening
period.
The Bombers kept the
momentum going, with
Blair Desiatnyk scoring
three minutes into the sec-
ond period and Bryden
McFarlane adding one
midway through the third.
Liam Bachewich secured
the win with an empty-net
goal with 1:46 left to play.
The boys then waited
for the results of the other
semi-fi nal between Rivers
and Swan Valley. Swan Val-
ley defeated Rivers 6-3 set-
ting up a Minnedosa - Swan
Valley Final.
In the Gold Medal
game, defenceman Gra-
ham Bailey opened the
scoring with a seeing-eye
shot four minutes into the
game. The boys fed off this
opening goal and their mo-
mentum built, culminating
in Bailey scoring his second
goal of the period with just
under two minutes left. The
Bombers were up 2-0 after
the first period.
In the second period,
Swan Valley regrouped and
pushed back. They scored
midway through the period
and continued to press-on
to get the equalizer. With
just under a minute left in
the second stanza, centre
Konlyn Nemetchek broke
free and went in on net.
Nemetchek scored and the
hometown team had a 3-1
lead after two periods.
The Stampeders came
out fl ying after the inter-
mission, scoring 23 sec-
onds into the final frame.
Up 3-2 the Bombers
regrouped and went on
the attack. Three minutes
later, during a scramble in
front of the Virden net, left
winger Malik McKay hurled
a backhand past the Swan
Valley goalie and into a
yawning cage.
The score was now 4-2
with just over 16 minutes
left.
