A
s we approach the 16th year of the Little Valley Jam-
boree, it is with awe. It seems almost unbelievable
that this has continued for so long. Te longevity and the
success of the Jamboree is due to the caring and compas-
sionate people we have met and who have supported this
endeavour. Tis includes so many, the dedicated vol-
unteers and the generous kind-hearted individuals and
businesses who have shared with us each and every year
their gifts of cash, prizes for auction, and their services
which keep our Jamboree functioning.
Over the years our committee has encountered peo-
ple from all walks of life. Ordinary people faced with ex-
traordinary circumstances. Tese challenges have been
faced head-on. Te courage and commitment these peo-
ple show is truly humbling.
Te Wozney sisters, Mackenzie and Skylar from
Minnedosa, are known by many people in this area. Par-
ents Adam and Teresa are continuing their search for an-
swers to do whatever it takes to provide a normal family
life.

A
new awning at the
front entrance of the
Minnedosa Regional Li-
brary is almost installed.
Designed and built
by Birch Construction,
it is meant to mirror the
design of the Minnedosa
Ishii Japanese Garden lo-
cated north of the library.
Head Librarian, Linda
Cook says that both mem-
bership and circulation
have increased over the
past year with 50 more
members, and 3,000 more
items being taken out.
Tere were 21,882 total
visits to the library in 2012.
T e annual Sum-
mer Reading Program is
on its way. The program
encourages youth to de-
velop a relationship with
the library and read over
the summertime, and is
highlighted with events
like visits from Magician,
Ryan Price.
The library is also
working on a workshop
on how to use an e-reader
for early fall.

T
he Provincial Budget 2013 was
announced on April 19th. While
the coming 1% rise in PST quenched
the thirst for juicy headlines around
the province, there are a few other
pieces to note, including:
-the creation of a new tax credit
to support private sector rental hous-
ing construction and new invest-
ments to build 1000 rental housing
units including 500 afordable hous-
ing units and 500 social housing
units.
- a cut in core funding to Mani-
toba Agriculture, Food and Rural Ini-
tiatives by 5.4%. Te change includes
the closing and merger of some MA-
FRI of ces, an increase in veterinary
diagnostic test fees, and a reduction
in manure management assistance
program funding of more than half to
$3.6 million. Te farmland education
tax rebate remained unchanged at
80% although a $5,000 cap has been
introduced.

N
ine appellants who
wrote to the Minister
of Conservation last sum-
mer following the July 5th,
2012 issue of an Environ-
ment Act licence to the
Daly Irrigation Develop-
ment Group for the con-
struction and operation of
an irrigation system in the
R.M. of Daly continue to
await a response. Te sys-
tem pulls from a location
on the Little Saskatchewan
River in NW 10-12-21-W to
water potato, soybean, and
cereal crops. Te license
allows for a pumping rate
of up to 19.6 cubic feet per
second as long as the in-
stream fow below the di-
version point stays above
18.5 cubic feet per second,
or as determined by Mani-
toba Conservation. Maxi-
mum annual water extrac-
tion for this license is set at
3250 cubic decameters or
about 1300 Olympic sized
swimming pools. T e
Daly Irrigation Develop-
ment group is made up of
Mazergroup-Ltd owned
Sundance Farms, Ed Wald-
ner, Don Loewe, Ray Red-
fern, and Keywest Farms.
Ray Redfern was quoted
in the Winnipeg Free Press
in September, saying that
the farmers hired Stantec
Consulting to provide the
science and meet the envi-
ronmental demands of the
province.
While the licence sets
minimum instream fow
rates below the diversion
point, the Provinces in-
stream f ow study of the
Little Saskatchewan, as
called for in the Little Sas-
katchewan Integrated Wa-
tershed Management Plan
is yet to be completed.
Critics say that this infor-
mation is critical to making
informed decisions about
fow rates that will main-
tain habitat, species, water
quality, and health of the
watershed.
Tey include Treaty
Two First Nations who
wrote that acts pursuant
to the licence are likely to
cause permanent and ir-
remediable damage. Tey
ofer that in 15 of the last 36
years, waterfow through
the Rivers dam has already
been low enough to threat-
en short term fsh survival.
Local farmer, Ruth Pryzner
appealed on a number of
grounds, including con-
cerns that reduced water-
fow endangers habitat. She
ofers that the lower reach-
es of the Little Saskatch-
ewan River have been iden-
tif ed as signifcant rif e
habitat and spawning areas
for sturgeon entering the
Little Saskatchewan River
from the Assiniboine River.
In addition, a number of
species at risk, including
Bairds Sparrow and the
Leopard Frog depend on
the Little Saskatchewans
rif e habitat. T e Little
Saskatchewan Watershed
Conservation District also
wrote a letter of appeal.
Comments from the
technical advisory com-
mittee to the licence ofer
that water extraction due to
this operation may result in
a drop of up to 0.5 meters
at the Rivers reservoir. Te
Parks and Natural Areas
Branch of Manitoba Con-
servation and Water Stew-
ardship noted that a drop
of this volume could result
in mud being exposed be-
tween the existing beach
and the reservoir, the boat
launch needing to be re-
located to deeper water or
extended, and that tying up
boats at the campground
may not be possible during
times of lower water. Appel-
lants have expressed con-
cern that water quality in
the Rivers reservoir, which
provides local drinking
water and is tourist activ-
ity site, could be at risk due
to releases done to supple-
ment fows for downstream
uses. In September, 2012,
Te Winnipeg Free Press
reported that the Town of
Rivers had been assured
by the Province that in dry
years, the irrigation proj-
ect would not draw down
the reservoir, however the
mayor of Rivers recently
stated that he was no lon-
ger clear that this is the
case.
Te Province of Mani-
toba declined to comment.

T
he Waves of Hope
Breast Cancer Dragon
Boat Team is getting ready
to start a new season of
paddling. Tis year will
make Waves of Hopes
15th season!
Tis is a group of
women who travel from as
far away as Ethelbert, Bal-
dur, Dauphin and other
towns in Western Mani-
toba, including Brandon
to paddle together on
Lake Minnedosa.As the
ice is still on the lake, the
ladies are practicing ev-
ery Wednesday evening at
the Sportsplex in Brandon
until they can put their
famous boat, Kindred
Spirit into the water at
the lake.
Participants represent
all ages and are at various
stages of physical ability,
working hard to recapture
joy and meaning into their
lives while sharing this ex-
citing experience as survi-
vors of breast cancer.
Tere are many costs
involved and so in early
May, the group is hold-
ing its 11th Annual Spring
Fashion Show at the UCT
Pavilion in the Keystone
Centre in Brandon.(See
ad on Page 2 for more de-
tails). Te show will fea-
ture clothing from stores
in western Manitoba. Te
theme this year is: Up,
Up and Away. Once again
the ladies will be assisted
by volunteers from both
the Brandon Firefghters
and Brandon City Police.
Waves of Hope is a
non-proft organization
that welcomes anyone
who has been diagnosed
with Breast Cancer to con-
tact them. Together, the
ladies demonstrate that
there is life and hope after
breast cancer while work-
ing towards improving
their physical, psycholog-
ical, emotional and spiri-
tual health. Tey paddle
to gain strength that at
the time of diagnosis they
thought they would never
have. At the same time
they work together to raise
awareness of the disease.
Together they support
one another in communi-
ties throughout the area
and participate in Dragon
Boat festivals as one of the
many breast cancer teams
from across Canada and
the world.

W
ith an aging popula-
tion that is increas-
ingly less mobile, the Roll-
ing River community has
been working on a number
of ways to ensure people
continue to be involved.
Tey started by establish-
ing a handivan service.
While online communica-
tion was considered, it is
seen to be an inefective
way of reaching the en-
tire community so theyve
turned to the possibility of
a radio station.
Dave Wilson is head-
ing up the project, which is
still in its beginning stages,
researching frequency and
tower capacities, Canadian
Radio-television and Tele-
communications Commis-
sion (CRTC) regulations
and licensing require-
ments, and writing poli-
cy. He says a radio signal
could be used to broadcast
everything from commu-
nity meetings to Saulteaux
language lessons and oth-
er teachings, to bingo and
entertainment.
Te location for the
tower is tentatively set
close to Highway #10 near
the Southquill restaurant.
Wilson is committed to the
project, excited about the
potential of an accessible
communication tool and
hes ofering his research
for free. When I see peo-
ple doing well and partici-
pating, thats what makes
me happy.

Poor response
It is very disappointing to learn that under 10% of
people in our area took the time to complete and re-
turn the recent survey sent out by the Minnedosa and
Area Community Development Corporation. 1,800
surveys sent out, 7% of recipients from the Town of
Minnedosa returned their completed surveys, 9%
from the R.M. of Minto, 5% from the R.M. of Odanah
and 7% from the R.M. of Saskatchewan.
I constantly hear some of our residents com-
plaining about how there is nothing in Minnedosa
and how it is a dying community with no vision for
the future. Tis survey provided the opportunity for
all of us to give our feedback and suggestions to the
CDC and our elected municipal of cials to review,
discuss and use to move the community forward.
Its frustrating when so many people seem to
have strong opinions and know what is best for a
community but when asked for their input they sit si-
lent. When you do nothing, nothing happens!
Hopefully the feedback received from the tiny
group of residents who took a few minutes to com-
plete their survey will be benefcial for the CDC. Once
the results are tallied, they will be presented to our lo-
cal councils and the public.
For the record, this local taxpayer did complete
his survey and return it.
Amazing talent pool
I was fortunate enough to be in attendance at
the fnal performance of the Strathclair Drama Clubs
production of Anne and Gilbert Saturday night and
was again absolutely blown away at the acting and
musical talent we have right here in our area.
A number of the main cast included people from
right here in Minnedosa. Te role of Anne Shirley was
shared by Robin Bell and Jessica McInnes with Dylan
Woodcock playing the part of Gilbert Blythe. Te
role of Marilla Cuthbert was played by Mary Dalton
with Louise McInnes flling the role of Rachel Lynde.
Te f nal Minnedosan in a lead role was Katie Woy-
chyshyn who played Diana Barry. A number of other
local residents were spotted on stage in smaller roles.
I have never been to a Broadway show in New
York but from clips Ive seen on TV or the internet, I
think some of our local actors and actresses have the
potential to one day be appearing on such famous
stages! Job well done to all involved in this years 31st
annual musical production!
By COLIN CRAIG
Prairie Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation
P
remier Greg Selinger lied plain and simple. He
said during the election he wasnt going to raise
the PST and promised not to raise taxes. In
fact, he called the suggestion he would do just that -
ridiculous and non-sense.
Now, once again, he has broken his promise to
not raise taxes. So are you going to let him get away
with it or are you going to take action? We cant con-
tinue to let politicians get away with breaking their
election promises and other bad behavior. We have
seen countless times in the past how politicians
have proposed doing outrageous things, only to back
down after enough people spoke out. If enough of us
speak out, we can make the Premier back down.
If you dont believe it, ask Winnipegs city council
about their proposal to give $7 million to a hotel com-
pany from Alberta to build a water park at the Forks.
Council backed down from that idea pretty quickly
after the masses took to the phones, email, Facebook,
Twitter, etc. to tell them it was a bad idea. One coun-
cillor, who reversed his support for the proposal, told
the Canadian Taxpayers Federation that he had never
received so many calls on an issue.
One thing is for certain, Premier Greg Selinger is
many things, but he isnt dumb. He can add up votes
and measure public anger just like everyone else. If
MLAs in his party also get enough phone calls, theyll
crumble too.
The other thing you can do is sign the petition
against the tax hike at www.GregLied.ca or register to
speak at an upcoming committee meeting at the Leg-
islature that is trying to ram through the tax increase.
Yes, youll get an opportunity to make your presenta-
tion in front of the finance minister himself and some
of his NDP colleagues who support the tax increase.
One of the things you need to tell the government
is they cant remove your right to vote on the sales tax
increase. Manitoba currently has a taxpayer protec-
tion law that requires the government to hold a ref-
erendum before raising the sales tax. In order to ram
through a sales tax increase without a referendum,
the NDP are also going to gut that law.
The Selinger government would have you believe
they need the extra money from a higher PST to pay
for flood costs and other expenses. However, the real-
ity is there is plenty of fat to cut in government.
The NDP could lead by example and reduce the
size of cabinet from 19 down to the 15 members
Gary Doer had in his cabinet when he took office in
1999. The government could stop buying Jets tick-
ets, cut its wasteful advertising, put non-essential
projects on the backburner and reduce its massive
bureaucracy. As 23% of the bureaucracy is set for re-
tirement over the next five years, reducing the size of
government could be easy just dont rehire for non-
essential positions when bureaucrats retire.
The NDP thought raising the PST would be easier
than rolling up their sleeves and cutting government
waste. Its up to you to prove them wrong; break-
ing major promises should be anything but easy for
politicians.

Letter to the Editor
2003 Central Manitobas mens fve-pin bowling team
were the victors in the Provincial Championships last
weekend and will go on to represent the province at the
Nationals. Te team includes two Minnedosa bowlers,
Dave Mansell and Bob Grieder.
1993 MCI Grade 12 student, Marni McFadden, was
among six Manitobans to receive the Volunteer Premiers
Award. Jim Morton of Strathclair was also a recipient.
1983 Fire Chief Mel Mummery was still furious Mon-
day over a false alarm called in at 1 a.m. Saturday morn-
ing. A total of 22 volunteer fremen responded to the call
and deplored the mentality of the person who called in
the alarm, not only for the cost to the Town but also be-
cause of the real possibility of a serious accident.
1943 Minnedosa now has less skating rink than ever
as the east wall was grounded by the recent gale.
1933 Temperatures for the week: a high of 71 on Sun-
day and a low of 17 on Tuesday.
1923 Charles Law has pansies blooming in his garden
and Samuel Pattersons sweet peas are sprouting through
the ground. However, Tuesday morning residents woke
up to fnd the ground covered with snow.
1913 Contracts are let for the building of several new
stalls at the roundhouse. Tenders are also let for the con-
struction of a new school in the Willow Grove district.
1903 Te Methodist Church has bought the Old Dis-
ciples Church and will move it across the street to their
own site. It will be used for Sunday School.

reetings friends of the
column! How are you?
I hope your well. I always
feel privileged to keep you
up to date with what we
are busy with, and without
further rambling, lets get
into it.
Police responded to
53 calls for service. Some
were exhilarating, others
were more routine. You
just never know the kind of
day youre going to have in
this job, and that keeps it
interesting.
Police celebrated the
infamous 20th day of April
(International Marijuana
Smoking Day) by execut-
ing a drug warrant on a
house in Minnedosa that
had been fagged for deal-
ing drugs. A 48-year-old
male was arrested upon
entry to the home. Hash,
marijuana, cash, and a
frearm were seized in the
execution of the warrant.
Te male was released on
his own recognizance.
Other fles included
animal calls, traf c col-
lisions, vehicle theft, as-
sault, mischief, fraud, and
some speeders as always.
Police responded to
two vehicle rollovers and
several other vehicle ac-
cidents. Roads have still
been slippery. Hard to be-
lieve since were already
looking at May. Long win-
ter continues, and I am
sick of it.
Now, for some-
thing that is fairly rare.
A Minnedosa male was
caught travelling 131km/
hr. I only say rare because
local people rarely speed
(so I believe, but I am bi-
ased perhaps) and he has
had access to a column that
talks about expensive tick-
ets bi-weekly! Cst. Stokes
slowed him down, and
wrote him up for $444.00,
the price of going too fast
and the price of being the
speeder of the week.
Have a great week.

Legacy, a group of com-
mitted young people who
are dedicated to preserv-
ing Canadas military heri-
tage. Without the help of
the younger generations
to pass on the message of
bravery, and perseverance
that Canadians showed
throughout the battles,
the future generations will
miss out on the amazing
history in which Canada
showed how incredible
our nation has been since
the beginning.
Troughout the year,
tribute will be paid to the
more than 26,000 Cana-
dians who served in the
Korean War, including the
516 who gave their lives.
To learn more about this
anniversary and Canadas
role in the Korean War,
we encourage the public
to view Te War Amps vi-
gnette, Canadians in Ko-
rea, on Te War Amps You-
Tube channel (youtube.
com/warampsofcanada).
Projects like this are
part of Operation Legacys
goal to carry the remem-
brance message into the
future. With the slogan, It
was their war, it is our lega-
cy, we pledge
to never forget the sacri-
fces of those who fought
for the freedom of South
Korea.
Sincerely,
Emerald Kehler, 19

C
hanges are underway
in provincial govern-
ment services towards
ef ciency and cost sav-
ings. In Minnedosa, this
means the loss of four
engineering positions in
Infrastructure and Trans-
portation which will move
to Brandon, and the addi-
tion of two Manitoba Ag-
riculture Food and Rural
Initiative workers from
the Neepawa of ce which
will be closing.
Other local changes
include the merging of
multiple Conservation
and Water Stewardship
of ces in Neepawa, and
the move of fve Virden
Infrastructure and Trans-
portation workers to Bir-
tle and/or Brandon. Te
changes include merg-
ers and consolidations
around the province, as
well as increased internet
reliance for applications,
information sharing and
interactive tools. An April
11th government press re-
lease estimated savings at
$1.49 million annually.
Leanne Rowat, MLA
for Riding Mountain is
concerned about the
changes. People set up
their lives in communi-
ties. Tese kinds of moves
are disruptive for the
families involved, and the
communities who lose
them.
Information was un-
available on where the
workers in the afect-
ed jobs in Minnedosa,
Neepawa and Brandon
are currently living.

T e Wozneys have
travelled extensively to
fnd the medical help their
girls need. Tey are thank-
ful, as all our Jamboree
parents are, for the sup-
port they receive from the
Jamboree, family, friends
and communities.
Our second recipient
is Aleda Mitchell. She lives
in Brandon with her par-
ents, Brett and Tracy, her
twin Kobe and eight-year-
old brother Seth. Aledas
familys life changed when
she was 15 months old and
escalated in 2012. Since
then it has led her fam-
ily and her on a journey
to discover the reasons for
her illness.
People ask, why are
you still doing this? Well
it is very simple, its for
the kids. Te kids are our
countrys future and we
believe every kid deserves
the best opportunities that
life has to ofer. Rod and I
have said many times, that
we do not do this alone, it
takes a small army to pull
something like this of and
we are very fortunate to
have the support we have.
We recognize and appreci-
ate all contributions.
Here are Aleda, Mack-
enzie and Skylars stories
which have been written
by their parents.
Mackenzie and
Skylar Wozney
8 years old
Minnedosa, MB
Mackenzie and Sky-
lar reside in Minnedosa
with their parents, Adam
and Teresa. Mackenzie is
eight and attends Tanners
Crossing School and is in
Grade 2. Skylar is six and
attends Tanners Crossing
Kindergarten and also at-
tends the Minnedosa Co-
operative Daycare.
Mackenzie so far is an
undiagnosed case, which
means she has underwent
numerous metabolic and
genetic testing, her DNA
has been all over North
America but they have
never been able to diag-
nose her with any kind of
disease to establish why
she has the physical and
mental delays which she
possesses. On top of this
she has Epilepsy (Lennox
Gastaut syndrome) for
which she takes a concoc-
tion of medications. In the
past year Mackenzies sei-
zures have spiraled out of
control and she is about
to go for surgery and have
a Vagus Nerve Stimulator
implanted in her to try to
help regulate her seizures
and reduce the medica-
tions that are stopping her
from participating in her
daily activities. Trough all
of this Mackenzie is always
laughing and always has
time to say Hi, to anyone
who happens to be walk-
ing by.
Skylar had a stroke in
utero, which has afected
the left side of her body
and caused some learning
delays as well. She wears
braces on both her left leg
and left hand to help her.
From the stroke she also is
afected with epilepsy. She
has taken numerous medi-
cations to no avail and so
this past October she few
to Vancouver and under-
went brain surgery (hemi-
spherectomy), and has
begun to wean of some
of those medications that
were sedating her and not
allowing her to enjoy ev-
eryday life. Since surgery
Sklyar has come a long way
but still has a long road
ahead of her. So far she
manages to wrap every-
one around her little fnger
with those big brown eyes
and mischievous grins.
She loves to tease and can
usually be heard laughing
with her friends and fam-
ily.
Even though both girls
have endured a lot so far in
their young lives, they are
both very happy and love
to go quadding and swim-
ming whenever they have
the chance. Tey continue
to travel to Winnipeg, Min-
neapolis and Vancouver
for appointments and
checkups.
Aleda Mitchell
6 years old
Brandon, MB
Aleda is a six-year-old
girl who has had a seizure
disorder since she was 15
months old. In July 2010
an MRI showed the sei-
zures were a result of a
stroke. Aledas seizures
were prolonged and hard
to control lasting between
one and two hours, be-
cause they would not stop
on their own she had to be
taken to emergency where
she would be given vari-
ous rescue medications
in order to stop them and
then admitted for two to
three days. After every sei-
zure it would take her days
to recover she would be
extremely tired and have
dif culty walking and talk-
ing. By the age of four, her
seizures were basically
controlled by her anti-
seizure medications. Te
stroke and seizures left
Aleda with developmental
delays, this required her to
need assistance with daily
activities and in school.
Leading up to her seizure
in November 2012, Aleda
was at developmental level
of a 3 1/2 - 4 year-old.
On T ursday, Novem-
ber 22nd, 2012 Aleda had
an hour long seizure that
presented much diferent
than usual. She was taken
to emergency (Brandon
RHA) by ambulance, once
there they were able to
stop the seizure, but be-
cause of the combination
of medications given she
needed to go on a respi-
rator and was admitted to
ICU. Friday evening Doc-
tors decided to Life Flight
her to Childrens Hospital
at HSC in Winnipeg be-
cause she still was uncon-
scious and her vitals had
decreased signifcantly.
Aleda was admitted into
PICU at Childrens, once
there she had numerous
complications including
liver failure, problems with
her blood and blood pres-
sure and much more. Doc-
tors performed many tests
to try a f nd a diagnosis,
she had two MRIs which
showed she had severe
brain damage. After fve
days Aleda woke up she
was awake, but not aware.
Aleda was in hospital from
November 22nd, 2012 -
January 5th, 2013.
Aleda was left with
severe brain damage - no
longer able to talk, walk,
eat or go to the bathroom.
She is taking ten difer-
ent medications and is fed
through a feeding tube. We
are still waiting a diagnosis,
the Doctors suspect that
she has a rare degenerative
Mitochondrial Disorder
called Alpers Disease. Te
Doctors have told us that
if it is not Alpers she prob-
ably has some rare type of
genetic disorder and they
are very hard to diagnosis.
Aleda had a muscle biopsy
performed while in Chil-
drens and that tissue has
been sent to Vancouver for
DNA testing for Alpers Dis-
ease, these tests take a long
time and we should have
results in April. If these
tests come back negative
we are still going to pur-
sue a diagnosis in order to
fnd out what happened to
Aleda, we would like to get
her referred to Childrens
Hospital in Vancouver or
Toronto.
Tis situation is all
new for us and we are still
learning how to take care
of Aleda and fguring out
what she will need. So far
we have realized that mak-
ing some modifcations to
our home would be ben-
ef cial in order to make
it wheelchair assessable.
SMD is covering the costs
for us to make a ramp into
the house through the ga-
rage, the entrance con-
nected to the ramp will
need to be widened to
make it wheelchair acces-
sible. We also have plans
to modify other areas of
our house to make them
wheelchair friendly includ-
ing the main bathroom
and sunk in dining area.

Minister of Agricul-
ture, Ron Kostyshyn was
quoted as saying that
rising land values have
made the rebate more ex-
pensive for the province
and forced the cap. Act-
ing manager for the South
Parkland Go Team, Angela
Pearen Burnside said the
Minnedosa of ce will ben-
eft from a business devel-
opment specialist and a
farm production advisory
for agriculture crown lands
who are moving from the
closing Neepawa of ce.
Te Province contin-
ues to promote a number
of ongoing programs and
plans for rural Manitoba
including ongoing sup-
port for the Manitoba Bio-
products Strategy, ongoing
partnership in Growing
Forward Two, a commit-
ment to provide the equiv-
alent of one seventh of the

port investments in mu-
nicipal infrastructure, the
10 year $4 billion highway

gional economic planning

ky ethanol plant may be
joined by another bioprod-
ucts project in the future,
but details are currently
unavailable. Te Province
conf rmed that two lo-
cal highways projects are
scheduled to start this year,
weather permitting:
Grade, base and pav-
ing of PTH #10 from north

plete.

Orr continues to advo-
cate as a part of the Trans-
canada Yellowhead High-
way Association, for the

In related news, the
new f ve year bilateral
Growing Forward 2 agree-
ment was launched three
days after the Provincial

Growing Forward 2.
Notes from the
Economic Review-
Agriculture
Farm cash receipts
gained 1% in the frst three
quarters of 2012. Crop re-
ceipts fell 2.5%, livestock
receipts increased 4% and
direct payments to agri-
cultural producers, includ-
ing insurance and various
types of income supports
gained 8.5%.
Farm inventories were
drawn down to historical
lows at the beginning of
2012 with wheat and bar-
ley at their lowest recorded
levels, and canola at an 11
year low. Ten crop pro-
duction last year rebound-
ed with wheat production
increasing by 76%, canola
gaining 20.3%, soybean
production up 83.5%, bar-
ley up 136.6%, and oats up
31.8%. Production of corn
for grain was the third larg-
est crop in Manitoba for
2012.
Crop receipts, how-
ever, did not refect the in-
crease in production, and
many producers chose to
rebuild inventory levels.
Wheat stocks doubled to a
level 10% higher than the
previous fve year average,
canola inventories gained
28.4%, and grain corn and
soybean stocks increased
o record high levels. Re-
ceipts for oilseeds were
down 14.8% in September
2012, wheat down 13.4%
and other grains down
12.3%.
In 2012, cattle inven-
tories decreased in Mani-
toba by .4%, and total de-
mand fell 4.6% led by a
3.8% drop in exports and
a 6.1% drop in processing.
Te hog industry is ex-
panding following several
years of contraction. Total
supply of hogs increased
1.3% in 2012 with domestic
production rising in step,
and aggregate demand in-
creasing in line with sup-
ply, up 1.3%.

ast Wednesday after-
noon, April 17th, 13
local artists had their cre-
ations on display for the
public to view in the lower
hall of St. Marks Angli-
can Church. Te creations
were the result of a group
of water colour artists who
meet regularly to paint
and create unique pieces
of artwork, under the vol-
unteer instruction of Ha-
zel Stonehouse.
Hazel moved to
Minnedosa from Reston
eight years ago. She had
been part of an art club
in her former community
and wanted to share her
love of art with Minnedosa
residents. In October 2011,
through word of mouth,
Hazel recruited ten people
to participate in a weekly
workshop on painting
with water colours. I have
been painting for 25 years.
I just do this because its
fun, mentioned Hazel.
Te group meets ev-
ery Wednesday afternoon
for a six week period,
then take a break and re-
convene for another six
weeks. Hazel teaches Lev-
el One, which is a begin-
ners workshop and also
level two for those who
have completed the be-
ginners workshop.
Painters in Level One
include Betty Fossum,
Marie Anne Saler, Debbie
Gaiser, Molly Winder, Joan
Skatch, Shelley Price and
Karen Heward. Level Two
painters include Orville
Cooley, Dorothy Jones,
Ruth Smith, Sylvia Rob-
inson, Connie Finlay and
Florence Haywood.
Wednesdays show
was the second annual art
show for the local paint-
ers. About 60 people at-
tended the show and
viewed the colourful art of
this talented group.
T
hanks to the classes of
water colour painters
who gifted me with roses
at their show. Tanks also
to those who came and
encouraged us! Sincerely,
Hazel Stonehouse

Dear Reena,
Red candle dripped
on my 40 year old white
linen tablecloth and stuck
to the table pad under-
neath. I have tried freezing
the wax pad. What can I do
to remove the wax with-
out leaving any redness?
Jeannette
Dear Jeannette,
Some messes are more
dif cult to clean than oth-
ers. White wax is easy to
clean but colored wax
is tricky; smear the area
with Head and Shoulders
dandruf shampoo before
freezing. After fabric is fro-
zen use a plastic putty knife
to scrape away the wax.
Next spray the area with
fabric spot remover before
washing (according to the
directions). If the stain re-
mains, pour 3% hydrogen
peroxide onto the area and
sprinkle it with cream of
tartar. Leave in the sun for
a day and rewash. Repeat
until stain is gone. Or use
RIT dye remover according
to the directions on the box
to whiten the tablecloth.
Dear Reena,
I have an old Torchiere
foor lamp which I really
like, but it uses a tri-lite bulb
with a large base. Since the
new spiral bulbs came on
the market I cannot fnd
tri-lite bulbs to replace the
burnt out one. I phoned the
hydro company and was
told they no longer make
large base bulbs. Do you
have any ideas? Should
I hang onto my antique
Torchiere lamp with hopes
of someday getting a bulb?
Te way it is now, theres
no use in donating it to
anyone as it is worthless
without a bulb. Anne
Dear Anne,
Although I think do-
nating the lamp is a nice
idea, you are right the
lamp needs a bulb. In
many cases, you can con-
vert Torchiere foor lamps
to use a more energy ef-
fcient compact fuores-
cent bulb. Using a 30-60
Watt fuorescent bulb, is
safer and more energy ef-
fcient.For this project you
may feel more comfort-
able hiring an experienced
handy person to help you.
You will need basic tools
such as: screwdrivers, nee-
dle-nose pliers, wire cut-
ters, wire strippers, electri-
cal tape, wire nuts, and a
drill (for drilling new holes
if the existing ones are not
ideally located). Te parts
you need should be avail-
able from your local hard-
ware store. You can buy an
energy ef cient compact
fuorescent bulb with the
attached adapter, rated at
30-watts with a light out-
put of 2000 lumens, a
shallow conventional por-
celain bulb socket, and a
rotary on-of switch. Te
total cost is about $20.00
plus labor. Lamp adapt-
ers are often sold as kits;
if possible bring the lamp
into the hardware store
when you go.

She is Gone
You can shed tears
that she is gone,
Or you can smile
because she lived,
You can close your eyes and
pray that she will come back,
Or you can open your eyes
and see all that she has left.
Your heart can be empty
because you cant see her
Or you can be full of the love
that you shared,
You can turn your back on
tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for
tomorrow because of
yesterday.
You can remember her and
only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her
memory and let it live on,
You can cry and
close your mind,
be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what
she would want:
smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.
Tose we love dont go away,
Tey walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard,
but always near,
Still loved, still missed
and very dear.
Not a day goes by that I dont
think of you.

H
eritage Co-op, with
stores in Minnedo-
sa, Erickson, Sandy Lake,
Wawanesa and Brandon,
held its 84th Annual Gen-
eral Meeting on April 16th.
Employing 265 peo-
ple, with about 100 in
Minnedosa at the Agro
Centre, Food Market, Gas
Bar, and Home Centre,
2012 saw Heritage Coop
reach a total sales volume
of $108 million, up a little
over $6 million from the
previous year.
General Manager
Lorne Zacharias says
that the growth is due to
agro and petroleum sales.
When farmers have a
strong year, we have bet-
ter years in these ar-
eas. Tere was very little
change in grocery prof-
its. As a result of strong
growth and a positive allo-
cation from Federated Co-
ops Limited, the board set
an allocation rate of 5.25%
of member purchases,
steady with last years al-
location rate. Tis will
result in Heritage Co-op
making cash payments of
approximately $3 million
based on purchases from
the 2012 year. Member-
ship grew over the past
year by a little over 1,400
members last year, to
22,000.

Changes over the past
year included purchase of
the Brandon Food Store
from FCL, investments
in the Minnedosa Ag site
and the Brandon Cardlock
site. We are on a bit of a
growth pattern over the
coming year, says Zacha-
rias. We are rebuilding
Wawanesa site with a con-
venience store and hard-
ware store, and will pur-
chase the Rona Hardware
Location in Erickson.
Heritage Co-op will also
be identifying new card-
lock locations. We are
also doing some rebrand-
ing with a new slogan
that is meant to show that
members are a part of the
co-op. Its about relation-
ship building.
Heri t age Co-op
made a $10,000 contribu-
tion last year to the new
greenhouse at Assiniboine
Community College, and
board members donated
per diems to the co-oper-
ative development foun-
dation for co-operative
development in other
countries. Long serving
directors were honoured
at the meeting. Vivian Ba-
zin has served for 18 years,
and Sherian Chemerika as
recording secretary for 24
years.
Zacharias remarks:
Te original roots for
Minnedosa Co-op go back
to the late 1920s. We had a
series of amalgamations;
the most recent one in
Sandy Lake in 2005. Er-
ickson joined in 1997 and
prior to that Brandon had
their own co-op as well. It
dissolved in the 80s and
some of the assets were
taken on by Minnedosa
Co-op. Yet as Heritage
Co-op continues to grow
and expand, the rest of
the retail community has
experienced fuctuating
health. Zacharias dis-
agreed with concerns that
Co-op actively competes
with smaller and/or fam-
ily owned businesses, ask-
ing who is investing in
small towns anymore? In
Erickson there isnt any
other businesses to speak
up. Our competition is
more like the Walmarts of
the world. Tats what is
hurting small towns - that
people travel to bigger
stores in other communi-
ties.

We are on
a bit of a growth
pattern over the
coming year
