first fire call being a house
fire in the middle of a cold
winter night in which he
rushed to the fire hall un-
prepared for the frigid
winter temperatures – no
proper head gear or socks!
Kowal has always
been proud to tour others
through the local fire hall,
including a number of fire-
fighters and fire officials
from other communities.
“I’ve had Winnipeg and
Brandon firefighters come
through our hall and they
could not believe what we
have for equipment for a
town the size of Minnedo-
sa and surrounding mu-
nicipalities,” stated Mike.
“Some larger fire depart-
ments don’t even have half
of what we have. We are
very fortunate and I am
very proud to have been
part of this department.”
In approximately
2015, Mike was promoted
to Deputy Fire Chief, a role
he held until his retire-
ment from the department
earlier this year.
Ken became part of
the local fire department
18 years ago in 2001, also
under former Fire Chief
McVey. His time as a fire
fighter began with a minor
out-of-control grass fire
but in August 2003, along
with other members of the
Minnedosa emergency re-
sponse teams, Ken faced
one of the most horrific
scenes to stand out in his
memory when six vehicles
were hit by a semi on High-
way #16 east of Minnedosa.
This fatal crash, in which
a 13-year-old boy lost his
life, was imprinted on the
minds of all who attended
the scene that day. “Being
part of the fire department
is one of those things you
enjoy doing but also hope
you never have to do,”
mentioned Ken. “But, we
do it and it’s very reward-
ing.”

Five Bronze Blooms For Minnedosa

M innedosa Commu-
nities in Bloom rep-
resentatives attended the
Manitoba Communities
in Bloom Provincial Con-
ference and Awards Cer-
emony in Morden, MB on
Friday, September 6th and
and Saturday, September
7th. The conference was
held at the Morden Access
Event Centre.
Minnedosa was
awarded five “Blooms”
Bronze this year, and spe-
cial mention was given for
the veterans banners that
can be found around town.
While five blooms is the
highest number of blooms
a town can receive, to be
given gold, silver or bronze
on top of that is an addi-
tional honour.
Of the total evaluation,
Minnedosa received 84.95
percent. A copy of this
evaluation can be found
at the Minnedosa Regional
Library for anyone who
wishes to read it.
The criteria on which
the towns were judged are
Conservation; Urban For-
estry; Landscaped Areas;
and Floral Displays.
On the first day of the
conference, the crowd was
deeply inspired by keynote
Speaker Dr. Gordon Golds-
borough, who is a profes-
sor at the University of
Manitoba. He spoke on his
experiences in mapping
historical Manitoba. He
has published two books,
both of which can be found
at the local Library as of
the end of September.
On Saturday, the
crowd was able to hear
speakers share informa-
tion on an array of topics
including Morden’s Urban
Forestry Plan; the Agri-
culture Research Station,
Environmental Cleaning
and Composting, Morden
Immigration, and volun-
teering. Following this,
they heard Ruth Reimer
share information on “Ka-
tie Care”, an eight-room
hospice building called
“Katie’s Cottage”, which is
a place for families to rent
ized at Boundary Trails.
This building is the result
of the wishes of Katie Re-
imer, who was a 13-year-
old girl who passed away
from cancer.
At the conference,
there was a silent auction,
which had donations from
the communities who at-
tended. Minnedosa do-
nated a wooden planter
that was provided by the
Men’s Shed, as well as a
plant that was donated by

Beach Enhancement Reaches Goal - Ground Work Underway
Husky energy presented a generous donation of $30,000 to the
Beach enhancement Project (l to r): Jennifer Sparrow,
Jodi McVey and Jennifer Stiglitz.
By Hillary Miller
H usky Energy and the
Minnedosa Credit
Union are the most recent
donors to the Minnedo-
sa Beach Enhancement
Committee’s current fund-
raising project. The group
received a cheque from
MCU on Friday, August
30th for $1,800, making
the total MCU donation to
the group $2,500. The fol-
lowing week, on Thursday,
September 5th, commit-
tee members received a
cheque from Husky Energy
for $30,000, which has now
brought them to about
where they need to be to
get work on the new play
structure at the beach un-

Jodi McVey and Jen-

this, their own children

Stiglitz noted that Husky is
pleased to make the dona-

they wanted to touch

broadly by the community.
“It’s a really good opportu-
nity for the town,” she said.

A Great Summer – Thank You Volunteers!
By DARRYL HOLYK
D riving into work Monday morning it was obvi-
ous that another summer is sadly behind us.
Shorter days, cooler, wet temperatures and leaves
starting to change colour are all obvious signs that
we are nearing autumn. Driving by the campground,
which has been packed full of campers, trailers and
tents all summer, it was a bit sad to see empty lots
and had me thinking, “Wow, is summer really over
already?” Summer is always too short but as I look
back – what a fantastic summer Minnedosa had! Al-
though our lake joined many others in the province
with some unwelcome algae issues this summer,
overall, the summer tourist season was great.
Throughout the summer, locals and visitors
alike enjoyed a number of special events and at-
tractions, most of which are organized or run by
our dedicated and hard-working community vol-
unteers. A quick glance through the pages of The
Tribune over the past few months reminds me just
how fortunate we are to have these volunteers in our
community. I want to send a personal thank you to
each of you for the volunteer hours you give to make
our community a great place to live and provide
many things for us to enjoy!
Just stop and think for a moment what our com-
munity would be like if we had no volunteers. We
would not have Fun Fest and its numerous special
events, moto cross races, Rockin’ the Fields, the fair,
the rodeo, horticultural shows, drama productions,
the Heritage Village, Canada Day celebrations, San-
ta Day, Santa parade, sporting events such as tour-
naments and bonspiels and the list could go on and
on! Those are just some of the events volunteers are
involved with – there are so many aspects of volun-
teerism that benefit our entire community and its
residents on a daily basis that we sometimes take for
granted.
It has always bothered me tremendously when
Federal Election Campaign Now Underway

Minister, Justin Trudeau, asked Governor Gen-
eral, Julie Payette, to dissolve Parliament, launching

The Minnedosa Tribune
I hear complaints about something a volunteer has
done or negativity toward a volunteer-run event.
Volunteering is something a person does because
they enjoy doing it in their spare time outside of
their regular busy family life and career. It should be
a fun and enjoyable activity with like-minded peo-
ple that you can bond and work together with. When
the work, project or event is complete, the volunteer
should be thanked - whether their involvement was
huge or minimal – any minute spent volunteering
should be recognized!
Sadly, over the years, I have seen numerous vol-
unteers walk away for various reasons. We have lost
some amazing, dedicated and hard-working volun-
teers which in some instances, were a direct result
of the constant negativity, rudeness and complaints
they received over a volunteer effort they were in-
volved in. That is not right but I can totally sympa-
thize with these individuals for walking away feeling
unappreciated.
Certainly, everyone is entitled to their own
opinion and feelings and it is good to voice those
as you may bring a new view or different angle to
a project. To voice these to a volunteer, go about
it the right way. Instead of yelling at them or be-
ing a complete jerk toward them, try simply offer-
ing your suggestion or concern as a different view.
Most would be happy to hear your suggestion and
take it into consideration for the future. Better yet,
if you have a concern with something a volunteer or
volunteer group is doing, step up yourself and get
involved with that group to help them achieve their
goal. Your point of view or ability to offer some of
your own time and a helping hand would probably
be greatly appreciated by others! The more we work
together for a common goal, the more we can get
done for our community.
The next time you see one of our community
volunteers hard at work – thank them for what they
do to remind them that their efforts are appreciated.

Looking back to the Riding Mountain results from
the 2016 election, Nesbitt had won with 5,311 votes
which means he gained 806 votes in this week’s elec-
tion. The NDP also gained support in our riding this time
around earning 1,360 votes over the 2016 results. This is
most likely a direct result of the NDP securing a local can-
didate in the constituency, as opposed to placing a Win-
nipeg candidate’s name on the ballot for Riding Moun-
tain as they did in 2016. The local Liberals lost support
in Tuesday’s election getting 574 fewer votes in Riding
Mountain than they did in 2016. The Green Party pretty
much held its own in the constituency earning only 56
fewer votes from Riding Mountain electors than they did
in the last election.
“I am humbled by the support I received from the
constituents of the Riding Mountain constituency. With
the significant boundary changes, I had many new peo-
ple to meet and towns to become acquainted with, and
enjoyed every minute of it,” stated Nesbitt. “Manitobans
overwhelmingly endorsed the work our government has
been doing to fix the finances, repair the services and
rebuild the economy with a new mandate. However, we
know there is much more work to do moving forward. I
am looking forward to working for the citizens and com-
munities of Riding Mountain as part of a PC government
led by Premier Brian Pallister.” 
Voter turnout in Riding Mountain was greater than
the provincial average. The most recent election saw 58.6
percent voter turnout in our constituency compared to
55.5 percent three years ago.

Firefighters Retirement Celebration

Continued
from Page 1
In addition to his in-
volvement with many
aspects of the fire depart-
ment, Morrice is also well
known for his involve-
ment in the local hockey
scene. Current Fire Chief,
Dean Jordan, joked that
even though he did accept
Ken’s retirement from the
department he declined
his retirement from their
hockey team!
During Friday’s cel-
ebration, which included
a delicious meal catered by
Dorothy and Barrie Brook-
ing, each of the retiring
firefighters were presented
with a handsome framed
badge which includes their
name, position and years
of service to the Minnedo-
sa Fire Department. There
was also a great deal of sto-
ries, reminiscing and com-
radery amongst the mem-
ber of the local fire brigade
throughout the evening.
In addition to the hon-
oured retirees, firefighters
and families, a number of
representatives from the
Town of Minnedosa were
in attendance. “Thank you
Mike and Ken for your
years of service and pro-
tection of the citizens of
Minnedosa,” stated Mayor
Pat Skatch, who presented
each retiree with a card of
congratulations. “I would
also like to say thank you
to your families who made
sacrifices when you’d get
a call in the middle of the
night or a family celebra-
tion.”
Fire Chief Jordan read
congratulatory messag-
es received from former
Minnedosa Fire Chief Dal-
las Brykaliuk, the South
Central Mutual Aid District
and the Manitoba Associa-
tion of Fire Chiefs.
While both Deputy
Chief Kowal and Firefight-
er Morrice would have
preferred to quietly walk
off into the sunset, the fire
department felt their years
of service were worthy of a
special celebration, some-
thing that has not been
done for retiring members
in the past.
“We felt it was a good
way to thank Mike and Ken
for their years of service
and dedication to the com-
munity,” stated Fire Chief
Jordan. “They have been
valued members of our
department and will be
missed.”
Congratulations
these two dedicated com-
to
munity heroes on their
well-deserved retirement
from our local fire depart-
ment. Job Well Done!

Eight local parents have

The decision to start

has affected all of us. I cur-

can be raised for the reno-

the old medical clinic will
be decided upon once of-

At this point, plans will be
shared with the commu-
nity – so stay tuned!
The centre’s hours will
be decided by the director
closer to the inaugural first
day, but Smith said they
are open to hearing the
needs of the community.
“Our aim is to provide
a nurturing atmosphere
both indoors and out,

nooks and endless oppor-
tunities for the children to

Future Hunters Attend Delta Educational Event

By Hillary Miller lodging and other required day morning, the youth

D uck Hunt is not just

a cool, vintage video
game. The annual Delta
Waterfowl Youth Hunt
took place last Saturday
and Sunday, September
7th and 8th at the Delta
Waterfowl Station, south-
east of Minnedosa. The lo-
cal hunt was hosted by the
Minnedosa Canvasback
chapter of Delta Water-
fowl.
With nearly full reg-
istration, organizer Ryan
Steinhilber said the spots
usually fill up rather quick-
ly, and they can only take
about 16 youths due to the
safety aspect. The hunt is
open to participants be-
munition, was provided.
Drop off began Satur-
day at 1:30 p.m., at which
point organizers would
examine each youth’s gun
to ensure that it was safe
to use and provided each
young hunter with a gift
bag which included a shirt,
hat and some reading ma-
terial to take home.
A safety discussion
and a hunting ethics talk
followed. During this time,
organizers also went over
some of the calls they could
make while out on the
hunt and a review of some
of the hunting equipment
such as decoys and blinds.
The youths were then en-
hunting which began at
sunrise and continued un-
til about 9 a.m. Following
their hunting excursion,
the youths learned how to
clean the birds properly,
bag them and have them
ready to roast.
Steinhilber hopes the
youth hunt will plant the
seed for enjoying the out-
doors, hunter education
and conservation in the
minds of the participants.
Hopefully, the experience
will aid them in becoming
future outdoorsmen and
outdoorswomen. “Some

School is Now Back in Session

By Hillary Miller ties for the current school for them to succeed.
year are mental health and The RRSD believes

T he wheels on the bus

are going around and
around once again. A new
school year has begun,
and students are excit-
edly putting on their new
school clothes and sharp-
ening their new pencils.
The first day of classes in
the Rolling River School
Division (RRSD) was Fri-
day, September 6th, and
it was a beautiful, sunny
day for the start of the
new term. The 2019-2020
school year will include
196 regular educational
days from now until late
June 2020.
Per the school divi-
sion’s website, the priori-
well-being, cultural pro-
ficiency, literacy and nu-
meracy.
In addition to the el-
ementary and high schools
starting up their terms, the
Minnedosa Adult Learn-
ing Centre has also begun
its new school year, and
allows people to work at
their own pace during
their courses.
While Val Gawel from
the Adult Learning Cen-
tre, does not yet know how
many students will be reg-
istered in the program, she
is excited to allow students
the opportunity to work at
a schedule that fits their
lifestyles, making it easier
that all students have the
ability to learn and achieve
success; are unique and
learn in different ways; are
valued for their individual
gifts, talents and diversity;
can conduct themselves in
an ethical manner and can
positively influence their
world. With this belief sys-
tem behind them, students
are sure to have a success-
ful year ahead.
As the school year be-
gins, be sure to watch out
for those big yellow school
buses, and remember to
stop when the lights are
flashing and to slow down
when driving through Photo by Hillary Miller
