of Main Street on Friday,
August 11th.
The local Manitoba
Youth Job Centre’s Odd
Job Squad was set up in
the north parking lot of
the Rolling River School
Division Garage, hosting
a car wash and barbeque.
There were six members

students that worked hard

to take pride in the funds
that they are able to earn
throughout the summer.
During the event,
which ran from 12 noon
until 4 p.m., there were ap-
proximately ten cars that
showed up to be washed.
“We were happy with the
turnout for the car wash,”
stated Kassia Hollier,
Youth Engagement Lead-
er for the local Youth Job
Centre. “We did not have
as many customers for the
barbeque as we had hoped
that we would.”

job orders for help in the
Fun Fest Parade, complet-
ed some yard work, helped
people move, as well as
other odd jobs.
The Odd Job Squad,
is a program operated by
the Manitoba Youth Job
Centre, which provides
employment support to
youths between the ages
of 12 and 16 with a su-
pervised work experience
in their community. The
youths are able to par-

tance of personal respon-

community engagement
and teamwork. The skills
they learn are fundamen-
tal to their future employ-
ment experiences.
The youths did a good
job washing cars that day,
and hopefully, we will see
them around Minnedosa,

Lack of Interest In Town Council Election

By Hillary Miller ting councillors may appoint begins, candidates will have to ute to register, but the feeling
an eligible person to the posi- obtain a minimum of 25 signa- of unease is undeniable. Dill-

M unicipal elections are

just around the corner,
set for October 24th, and there
is a shocking lack of interest in
filling the council and mayoral
positions amongst the citizens
of Minnedosa.
With the deadline for reg-
istration looming, Minnedo-
sa’s Senior Election Official
(SEO), Donna Dillabough,
worries about what might
happen if no one puts their
name forward. After read-
ing last week’s Tribune, she
was relieved to see that some
current town councillors are
considering running for re-
election, but there will still be
vacancies left to fill, including
that of mayor.
If a council position is not
filled by the election, the sit-
tion. Eligibility requires a per-
son to be a Canadian citizen,
at least 18 years of age, a resi-
dent of Manitoba, and a resi-
dent of Minnedosa for at least
six months.
Candidate registration is
currently open. Registration
for mayoral candidates has
been open since May 1st, and
registration for councillors has
been open since June 30th,
but still no names have been
brought forward.
After registration, a can-
didate will have to file their
nomination papers. Nomi-
nations begins on September
12th. Once a candidate has
registered, they can then start
campaigning and collect-
ing funds for their campaign.

piled by the SEO. However,
Dillabough recommends that
nominees collect at least 30
signatures, in case some of the
people who sign are not cur-
rently registered on the local
voters’ list. Additionally, Dill-
abough notes that she has also
not had anyone contact her to
ensure that their name is on
the voters’ list so that they can
cast their vote on election day
in October.
Hopefully, there are peo-
ple out there who are consid-
ering putting their name for-
ward and running for Town
Council and that they are sim-
ply waiting until the last min-
abough is unsure why there is
a lack of interest in the elec-
tion this year, but hopes that
people will put their names
into the running, and that
Minnedosa will have enough
candidates step up so that
ratepayers have the opportu-
nity to vote for the candidates
they want to form their next
Town Council.
Anyone with the slightest
thought of possibly running as
a candidate for Town Council
is encouraged to contact Dill-
abough at the Town Office.
There is a candidates book
available and she is happy to
answer any questions or con-
cerns a possible candidate
may have.

citizens were concerned
about the trees that were
recently cut down on the
north end of Main Street
on the block stretching
from Valley Motor Lodge
to Farmhouse 50.
According to Kevin
Marcino, Public Works Su-
perintendent for the Town
of Minnedosa, the trees
had to be cut down as they
were directly over the wa-

Marcino noted that they
are changing out the four
water services on Main

too close to the water lines,
The northbound lane
for entire block on Main

with traffic being re-routed
in single, north and south

southbound lane while
the replacement work was
being done. Work began

to get every water service

Around
Town...
By Darryl Holyk
New speaker…
The Minnedosa Rec Commission had to do
some scrambling after Sports Dinner keynote speak-
er, Kaitlyn Lawes, had to cancel her appearance in
Minnedosa due to another engagement. This left or-
ganizers without a speaker for their October event!
Fortunately, a new speaker has been confirmed and
the Rec Commission is pleased to announce that
Kaitlyn’s mixed doubles partner from the 2018 Win-
ter Olympics, John Morris, has been booked for the
2018 Sports Dinner Keynote Speaker. John is a well-
known Canadian curler who has earned a dozen
gold medals at various levels to date along with nu-
merous other awards, honours and accolades. The
21st Annual Minnedosa Sports Dinner will be held
on October 20th.
A Dog’s Sequel…
Following the success of the movie, A Dog’s
Purpose, which featured scenes shot in the Bethany
area, a sequel is currently in the works. The new film
titled, Molly and Max, is being shot in Manitoba
from now through October and will again feature
some local, recognizable filming locations! The
original film was shot in the fall of 2015 and released
in January 2017. Molly and Mike is expected to hit
theatres in May 2019.
Blood shortage…
Canadian Blood Services has put out an urgent
call for blood. Across the country, 22,000 donors are
needed to donate blood by August 26th. Donations
will help ensure the national blood inventory can
meet patient needs for the rest of summer.   Unfor-
tunately, local donors now have to plan ahead, take
a greater chunk of time out of their day and travel
if they wish to donate blood as the mobile health
clinics are no longer held in our rural communities,
such as Minnedosa. The return of local blood donor
clinics would certainly be welcomed by many and
most likely cut down the urgent need for blood.

Global Affairs Canada
Is Wasting Your Money
By AARON WUDRICK  ter. But you would be wrong.
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
W ould you pay $286 for a seat cushion? How about
$117 for a wine glass? Or $1,000 for a chair?
Access to information documents obtained from
Global Affairs Canada by the Canadian Taxpayers
Federation show Canada’s diplomats used your mon-
ey to furnish embassies and consulates around the
world. Some will recall the fawning reception received
by a newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at
the Global Affairs Ottawa headquarters in November
2015. Coming from supposedly non-partisan, neutral
government employees, it raised more than a few eye-
brows. No wonder they were so happy.
It seems Global Affairs was happy to help run up
the deficit by going on a spending spree that would
make a teenager blush. Nearly $25,000 for 86 seat
cushions for the Mexico City embassy. That’s $268
apiece. Try asking a friend or neighbour where you can
even find cushions that fancy. And just how high-end
are the 1,000-plus pieces of crystal stemware bought
by the department for a grand total of $127,000? For
comparison, the average cost of $117 apiece is more
than double the price of Tiffany’s crystal wine glasses.
When the government could save taxpayers’ money by
shopping at Tiffany, that’s a problem.
Or how about sixteen dining table chairs for $1,000
apiece, shipped from Vancouver to the Canadian con-
sulate in Hong Kong? And that’s not even counting the
$7,500 credenza (which for those of you not fortunate
enough to own one, is a glorified storage cupboard.)
At the very least, you would think having been caught
billing taxpayers for such over-the-top purchases,
Global Affairs would apologize and promise to do bet-

When asked for comment on the Mexico City
cushions, a departmental spokesperson defended
the purchase and said, “we know that taxpayers’ dol-
lars must be treated with the utmost respect.” If this is
respect, what would disrespect even look like? Worse,
arguing that these purchases “support Canadian busi-
nesses,” misses the point. By all means, buying Cana-
dian products where the price is comparable to other
options makes perfect sense. But paying double or
triple the price is simply inexcusable.
Common sense can also save Canadian taxpayers
more than a few bucks — such as in Hong Kong where
the consulate showed in separate purchases that it
could buy good chairs and credenzas locally at a sav-
ings of 71% and 85%, respectively. This would normal-
ly be the point where the minister responsible would
step up and order a review of departmental procure-
ment policies to ensure this kind of thing doesn’t hap-
pen again. But so far, there hasn’t been a peep from
Trudeau or any of his ministers promising to put a
stop to these kinds of outrageous expenses.
Some critics argue that these kinds of expenses
are a tiny drop in the vast taxpayer bucket and we
shouldn’t worry about them. But a few drips can turn
into a significant stream if left unchecked. More im-
portantly, while overpaying for cushions and wine
might not break the bank, getting it wrong on big-tick-
et items — such as ships and planes for our military
— certainly would.
Unfortunately for taxpayers, the Trudeau gov-
ernment’s failure to manage even the little expenses
doesn’t instill great confidence in their ability to man-
age the big ones.

Council Approves MREC Site Survey
By DARRYL HOLYK
M innedosa Town
Council met for its
August meeting on the
evening of Tuesday, Au-
gust 7th in Council Cham-
bers. Mayor Orr presided
with Councillors Luker,
MacDowall, Saler, Wedge-
wood and Taylor in atten-
dance. Councillor Skatch
was absent.
The meeting opened
with a delegation of Kevin
Marcino and Jon Lewis
to discuss Minnedosa
Soccer’s proposal to de-
sign an additional field at
the Minnedosa Regional
Events Centre (MREC)
site. As there seems to be
a few minor discrepancies
between the layout plan of

Credit Card Fee Reduction for Small Firms
SUBMITTED
A fter a decade of advo-
cacy work on credit
card processing fees, the
Canadian Federation of
Independent Business
(CFIB) welcomes the new
agreements between the
federal government and
major payments brands
announced recently.
Starting in 2020, Visa
and Mastercard have
vowed to reduce the fees
they charge retailers to an
average annual effective
rate of 1.4 per cent from the
current 1.5 per cent. Amer-
ican Express announced
a separate agreement to
increase transparency and
fairness.
“These new measures
build on the positive mo-
mentum in improving the
power balance between
major card brands and
smaller merchants that
began with the adoption
of the Code of Conduct for
the Credit and Debit Card
Industry in Canada,” said
Dan Kelly, CFIB president.
“For years, CFIB has en-
couraged the payments
industry to close the gap
between the rates small
businesses pay and those
survey so that everyone
involved knows the exact
location of the proposed
arena. Council agreed and
instructed the MREC com-
mittee to move forward in
getting the survey done.
Animal Control By-
law #2562 was given sec-
ond and third reading. The
bylaw states that within
town limits, no person
shall have more than two
dogs and two cats over
the age of six months. No
one is allowed to keep
tame pigeons or chickens
or maintain a pigeon or
chicken coop or aviary in
Minnedosa. Also, no one
shall keep or feed wildlife
within town boundaries.
Mayor Orr lead a brief
discussion on concerns re-
garding Lake Minnedosa.
He mentioned five key is-
sues to be aware of with the
lake including the stop logs
in the spillway, lake levels,
silt build up, weed growth
and the potential for Zebra
Mussels. While the Town
is currently in discussions
available to large firms.
The new agreements with
Visa, Mastercard and
American Express provide
greater opportunities for
small firms to benefit from
lower credit card process-
ing fees.”
The fees charged by
credit card companies
have an unseen impact on
all levels of the economy.
They have been estimated
to total as much as $5 bil-
lion per year and ultimate-
ly find their way into the
prices Canadians pay for
goods and services.
CFIB has been a leader
in working to lower credit
card processing fees for
small business for many
years. It was the first group
to propose the Code of
Conduct, which was ad-
opted in 2010. CFIB also
struck separate agree-
ments with the payments
industry, giving its mem-
bers access to lower Mas-
tercard and American Ex-
press rates.
“The measures an-
nounced today will help
small businesses to be
more competitive with
their larger counterparts,”

with the provincial gov-
ernment regarding some
of these concerns, a con-
cerned citizen group, call-
ing themselves Save Our
Lake – Friends of Lake
Minnedosa has arisen. The
mayor has met with one of
the members of this group
and suggested that council
form a citizen group simi-
lar to the housing devel-
opment group, MREC or
primary care centre group
to discuss, plan and ob-
tain factual information
on resolving some of the
issues surrounding the
lake. This group could in-
clude at least one council-
lor, possibly a Chamber of
Commerce representative
and other concerned citi-
zens to focus on the future
health and longevity of our
lake. Council was in sup-
port of this suggestion.
Councillor Taylor re-
ported that Evergreen
Environmental Technolo-
gies (regional landfill) is
looking at opening a new
cell for 2019. The expected
ident for national affairs
and partnerships. “We ap-
plaud the federal govern-
ment, Finance Minister

from Minnedosa & District Foundation to purchase

groomed. This sport promotes healthy living

lifespan of each cell was
estimated at ten years but
after seven years, the cur-
rent cell is filling up. This is
not due to more waste but
more the fact that some
people are still putting re-
cyclables in the trash rath-
er than separating them
for recycling.
Council accepted the
quotation from Saler’s
Backhoe and Trucking in
the amount of $17,700 for
landfill reclamation (com-
post site) being the lowest
of two received.
Council approved a
request from Minnedosa
District Museum and Heri-
tage Village Corp. to es-
tablish a fund through the
Manitoba Heritage Trust
Program.

dit of Town Financials,

A Chat With PC Candidate Floyd Martens
By Hillary Miller
F loyd Martens, of Rob-
lin Manitoba, has an-
nounced his intention to
seek the nomination for
the Conservative Party of
Canada in the Dauphin-
Swan River-Neepwa rid-
ing.
Martens grew up in
Morden, MB, and spent his
career as a minister in Ro-
blin for about 25 years, and
spent another five years
serving at other churches
in the area.
Upon hearing that
current Member of Parlia-
ment, Robert Sopuck, had
decided not to seek re-
election, Martens knew it
was the right time for him.
“Those opportunities don’t
come along very often,” he
said.
After spending many
years as a trustee for the
school board, including
spending time on the na-
tional level as both the
vice president and the
president of the Canadian
School Board Association,
Martens feels that he has
gained a national perspec-
tive on a variety of issues.
Since 2015, he has been fo-
cused on the school board
roles that he has held,
which has meant a high
degree of travel, giving him
the degree of comfort with
travelling that would be re-
quired as an MP.
Martens feels that he
would rather “do” than
talk about what he could
do, but feels that he could
bring a lot of skills and as-
sets to the role. He has
been a trustee for the
school board for 26 years,
and board chair for Moun-
tain View School Division
for a number of years, as
well as president of the
Manitoba School Board
Association. Throughout
that time, he has worked
with many different peo-
ple and looked at how the
group can best address the
needs of students in those
areas.
He is no stranger to
working with policy and
governance in that role,
giving him a familiarity of
what he would be doing
if successful in his bid for
nomination.
In doing this work, he
has gained a perspective
that he feels is broader
than the community in
which he was working, giv-
ing him a glance at some of
the larger issues at play in
the riding.
If successful in his
nomination, Martens
looks forward to hearing
what people in his riding
have to say. “You need to
hear their voice,” he said,
“to be able to give them
respect, and try to make
decisions that are in the
best interest of everyone
at the end of the day.” He
has had very positive ex-
periences in working on
different boards, and has
been put into positions
of leadership in many of
The Minnedosa Tribune
these groups, which he
feels signifies his abilities
as a leader.
With such a large
and diverse riding, Mar-
tens recognizes that this
will present its own set of
challenges. Each area will
bring its own set of issues
and concerns. “For me, the
biggest focus will be to get
to know one of the most
pressing issues that people
have, and what the role
that the federal govern-
ment can have in playing
in that capacity,” he stated.
He recognizes that the role
the conservative party will
have in the federal govern-
ment, be it government or
opposition, will affect what
the MP will be able to ac-
complish, but he is confi-
dent of what he will be able

CIB Recognizes Yards of The Week

By Hillary Miller

T he Minnedosa Communities in Bloom (CIB)

group has wrapped up its 2018 Yard of the Week
recognition, having chosen winners for each of the
last four weeks.
The honourable yards belong to Dr. George Ong
and Michelle MacKay in the southeast corner, Ray-
mond and Vivian Bazin in the northeast corner, Barb
Wade in the southwest corner and Allan and Sandra
Hall in the northwest corner.
Names are put forward by members of the CIB
committee, usually by members in each quadrant of
town. The group then reviewed and discussed the
suggestions and chose a yard they felt was most wor-
thy of the “Yard of the Week” title.
Some of the criteria, local CIB members consid-
ered was neatness, weed free, a trimmed lawn, and if
ray and Vivian Bazin allan and Sandra Hall
there are any additional items such as statues or or-
naments on display in the yard. Yard highlights that
stood out to the group included water features, a lot of
colour and yards that look like the owners are proud
of them. While some yards have beautiful back yards,
the group focuses on front yards only, and how they
appeal to the community overall.
Linda Bertram, President of Minnedosa CIB, not-
ed that some yards are obvious winners due to their
beauty, but other times there are a few yards that are
contenders for the winning spot. Each year, different
yards are considered, giving people opportunity to
improve their yards in hopes of having their yard se-
lected next year.

Stewardship Motivates Northam Family to Restore Wetlands
By Ian HItcHen
Ducks Unlimited canada
 
T o say their land is im-
portant to Tom and
Valerie Northam would
be an understatement. To
them, they and their land
are one.
The Rapid City area
couple’s home is on land
that has been farmed by
Tom’s family for nearly 90
years.
As a boy, Tom enjoyed
trips to the local swim-
ming hole, and biked to lo-
cal marshes to watch song
birds in the reeds. Valerie
home schooled three of
their four sons, and their
property was their outdoor
classroom. The eldest son
now studies biology and
chemistry at university.
“Some day, who
knows, maybe our sons will
have it,” says Valerie, refer-
ring to their farm. “But the
thing is, we want to protect
it no matter what.”
The Northams are
among the latest Manitoba
landowners to access DUC
programs that help them
restore and conserve natu-
ral areas on their property
while earning extra mon-
ey. The couple is working
with DUC to return parts of

Dear Reena,
We replaced our bath-
tub and surround with a
molded unit made of vinyl.
It was purchased about
three years ago. The clean-
ing instructions said not to
use any substance or mate-
rial that would scratch the
surface and we should just
wipe out after each use.
This is fine when the show-
er is used, but I cannot get
rid of the ring around the
tub. Is there a non-abrasive
way to clean the tub? Anna

  Under DUC’s Con-
servation Agreement pro-
gram, landowners receive
a one-time lump sum pay-
ment if they agree not to
break or drain wetlands or
surrounding habitat. The
agreement is permanent,
remaining even if the land
is sold, but there’s flex-
ibility to allow for haying,
grazing, and cultivation of
certain wetlands during
dry periods.
  A growing number
of Manitoba landowners
are signing conservation
agreements with DUC.
Last year alone, more than
30 signed up and pro-
tected about 7,000 acres

seemed to be more suc-

other more effective and
easier method I can use
to remove the embedded

any helpful advice. Tanya
Dear Tanya,
Fabric softeners and
other laundry products do
leave a thin layer of film
on dryer sheets. Soak the
lint dryer screen in a bath
of warm, soapy water for
about 15 minutes; then
use a stiff scrub brush/nail
brush to remove the lint.
Rinse all the soap from the
screen in 50/50 vinegar
and water and air dry over-
night, prior to use.
Dear Reena,
I have a box of cereal
that tastes stale. Is it gar-
bage, or is there a way to
make it taste good again?
Louisa
Dear Louisa,
  As part of their agree-
ment, the Northams are
restoring eight wetlands
covering more than nine
acres (nearly four hect-
ares). They’ll permanently
protect another 20 basins,
and preserve some grass-
land where their livestock
graze.
  For them, though, this
isn’t about the money.
To revive old cereal
(or crackers); spread them
onto a cookie sheet and
bake on low heat for a few
minutes. Take them out of
the oven when crisp, and
eat.
Dear Reena,
My house was infested
with ladybugs and I could
not get rid of them until I
read your column a year
ago that gave advice on
ladybugs in the home. I
caulked around the win-
dows just as you suggested
and now my ladybug prob-
lem is gone! Martin
Hi Reena,
Just read your hints for
making a sink not smell
so bad, but I believe you
overlooked one possible
source. On the side of the
sink with a disposal,  the
underside of the rubber
flaps can get rather nasty,
depending on what you
run through it, therefore
you must clean under-

delight the family—ducks,
geese, eagles, cranes, peli-
cans, owls, moose, deer,
and even bears.
Plus, the shallow ba-
sins provide livestock at
their farm with water dur-
ing drought, and prevents
flooding of downstream
neighbours by slowing
runoff.
The Northams’ con-
servation work with DUC
will directly benefit their
farm too, as they intend to
buy a tractor with the in-
centive payments they re-
ceive.
But it’s stewardship
that really motivates the
couple. As landowners,
they believe they’re re-
sponsible for preserving
nature and encourage oth-
ers to do the same.

OBITUARY
MICHAEL RONALD PARROTT
August 31st, 1962 –
August 5th, 2018
It is with great sadness
that the family of Michael Ron-
ald Parrott announces his pass-
ing at the age of 55, after his
courageous battle with cancer.
Michael’s strength will be for-
ever remembered by his wife of
5 years Carol Anne Reese Parrott,
his parents Glenn and Roberta,
his brothers Glenn (Kimme), Stuart
(Joan), Lawrence (Colleen), children
Mark and Mackenzie, and his step-son
James Kilpatrick. He is also remembered by his many nieces,
nephews, extended family, and good friends. Born in Winnipeg,
and having grown up in Minnedosa, Michael graduated from
Brandon University with a BSc with the Class of 1983. After
university, Michael worked for Acklands (6 years), Nestle (14
years), and Siemens (3 years). For over 10 years, Michael was
a valued employee of ADP Canada as Manager of IT Services
Americas Region.
Michael has always had an affinity for adventure. An avid
runner, Michael ran 19 marathons all over the globe, including
one on each of the seven continents. His wife and his family ac-
companied him on many of these races and vacations around
the world. From walking on hot coals to battling the ice of Ant-
arctica, Michael never shied away from a challenge. After facing
cancer, his greatest challenge yet, Michael peacefully moves on
to his next adventure.
The family would like to thank the many doctors and
nurses of the Brampton Civic and Princess Margaret Hospitals,
especially: Dr. Martin Chasen, Dr. Roddy Davey, Dr. Parneet
Cheema, and Palliative Care Ward nurse Kelvin Karoki.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to
the Princess Margaret Foundation, The Hospital for Sick Chil-
dren, The Terry Fox Foundation, and Prostate Cancer Canada.
A celebration of life was held at Scott’s Funeral Home – Bramp-
ton Chapel (289 Main Street North, 905-451-1100) on Saturday,
August 11th, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Visitation was held on Friday,
August 10th from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Interment
to follow in Winnipeg at a later date. You are welcome to sign
