Rapid City Beach and Reservoir Restoration Underway

By KAREN MITCHELL created so fish could pass (which will occur later in
upstream past the dam to the fall season), Site Ac-

R apid City is a small

town located on High-
way 24, just 27 kilometres
southwest of Minnedosa.
According to the 2016 cen-
sus, the population of the
community was 478, up 61
people from the 2011 cen-
sus.
The small but mighty
town is full of passionate
residents who care about
their community and the
future of the area. This pas-
sion is what lead a group
of interested residents and
organizations to form the
Rapid City Beach and Res-
ervoir Committee on June
16th, 2016. Due to two
major flood events over
the past ten years, area
residents could see the im-
pacts of increased silt and
vegetation issues, recre-
ation diminishing and res-
ervoir capacity reducing to
approximately 20 per cent
of what it was.
The Rapid City Res-
ervoir or “Mill Pond” pre-
dates 1892 and was origi-
nally built for water storage
for irrigation, drinking wa-
ter, livestock and to oper-
ate the local lumber mill.
The present dam was con-
structed in 1961 for stock
watering and water con-
servation. In 1992, Mani-
toba’s first fish ladder was

the reservoir.
“The reservoir is es-
sential to our beach and
campgrounds survival and
our tourism for the com-
munity,” stated a represen-
tative of the committee.
“The town of Rapid City
is just now starting to see
a positive growth in new
families taking up residen-
cy over the past few years
and making improvements
to our infrastructure and
restoration of our recre-
ational facilities has been
very important factors to
families looking to reside
here, and for our local
tourism. As it stands right
now the reservoir is an
eyesore and a hindrance
for attracting potential
home buyers and tourism.
At the rate the reservoir is
filling up with silt it will be
only a few more years be-
fore it has completely lost
its capacity to hold any wa-
ter.”
So what are the cur-
rent plans of the commit-
tee? Their overall goal is
restoration of the beach
and reservoir. The project
has been broken down
into two stages; the first,
Beach Restoration, has
been completed and the
second, Reservoir Resto-

now underway.
Just after Christmas
2018, the R.M. of Oakview
Council held a special
meeting and reviewed five
proposals received for the
project. Council awarded
the project contract to Rus-
sell Redi-Mix Concrete,
Langenburg Redi-Mix
Ltd. (A Division of Coco
Group). The company
started to mobilize their
equipment on January 7th,
2019 with the project an-
ticipated to take approxi-
mately four to six weeks to
complete.
As to the actual cost of
the project, the exact fig-
ure will not be known until
completion, as it is based
on so much per metre of
material removed, but
preliminary volume calcu-
lations came in at an esti-
mated 55,000 cubic metres
of material to be removed.
This is the amount that was
used on the tender which
recieved bids in the five
to seven dollar per metre
range.
The overall objective is
to remove excess sedimen-
tation and vegetation. This
would allow for a clear and

to attract more tourism to
the town which in turn will
benefit local businesses
and the campground, to
have a recreational facility
that all families may enjoy,
to attract new families to
reside in the town or sur-
rounding community and
to have a viable mainte-
nance plan for the reser-
voir.
Possible impacts in-
clude, but are not limited
to; potential structural
integrity damage to the
dam, reduced water sup-
ply for upstream users in
dry years, reduced fish
migration, changes to na-
tive species habitat and re-
cess, Site Preparation, Ex-
cavating and transport of
excavated materials (using
backhoes and dump trucks
when there is enough frost
for equipment, equip-
ment access expected to
be across municipal land
and measures for public
safety to be implemented),
Deposition of excavated
materials, Removal of the
top one-and-a-half to two
metres of accumulated
material (silt), Removal of
approximately 57,225 cu-
bic yards of accumulated
material (silt) and Mate-
rial deposits to be in pre-
selected areas away from

The Post-Excavation
Phase includes; Re-charge

O ne of the finishing
touches has come to
pass with the installation
of the donor board at the
Dr. Ajai Khandelwal Pri-
mary Care Centre.
The tremendous sup-
port in building this won-
derful Primary Care Cen-
tre is now on permanent
display for care centre
patients to see and oth-
ers that may wish to view
the long list of donors that
made this venture pos-
sible.
The committee’s ob-
jective was to acknowl-
edge the municipalities,
businesses, service clubs,
foundations and the vast
number of individuals that
contributed to this cause.
This donor board will be
on display for a long time
to show how generous the
ing area have been to im-
prove and maintain the
health facilities for genera-
tions to come.
There will be some
ongoing work to improve
the existing building as
the operation dictates and
along with the spring land-
scaping to beautify the sur-
rounding grounds. The
committee will be active
for some time to come to
get the results as complete
as possible to make the
area proud of the accom-
plishment.
After a few months of
operation of the primary
care centre, there is a com-
pliment of six doctors and
one nurse practitioner of-
fering medical services.
With Dr. Taiwo Sonoiki
starting practice within
the last two years and Dr.
Ali Elgheriani and Dr. No-
within the last few months,
they are taking on new pa-
tients to assist with medi-
cal needs of the surround-
ing area.
It is very satisfying for
the donors to know that
the new facility has pro-
duced the results they ex-
pected with a full slate of
doctors. Now is the time
for the surrounding area
residents to support this
Primary Care Centre, by
choosing their family phy-
sician, and keeping our

ing as time goes on.

Town...
By Darryl Holyk
Pleads guilty…
Last week, in Brandon Provincial Court, 19-year-
old Therae Racette-Beaulieu plead guilty to a number of
charges related to the incident last August in which Cpl.
Graeme Kingdon was wounded by gunfire near Onanole.
The accused, who was 18 at the time of the incident,
plead guilty to attempted murder, breaking and entering,
stealing firearms and theft of a motor vehicle. His sen-
tencing is scheduled to take place in March.
Bombers in Third…
The Minnedosa Senior Bombers closed out their
regular season with a home game against the Boissevain
Border Kings on Saturday February 2nd. Although the
Bombers did manage to get a couple goals, the Border
Kings walked away with a win of 7-2. Minnedosa’s goals
were scored by Russ Huyghe assisted by Matt Saler in the
first period followed by a goal by Shane Jury to open the
second period. The Bombers close out the regular season
in third place in the Eastern Division of the Tiger Hills
League, coming in behind Neepawa and MacGregor. At
press time, the playoff schedule had not been released.
Spring Around the corner…
It seems the Manitoba groundhogs are like the rest
of us and tired of the long, cold, snowy winter. Last Sat-
urday was Groundhog Day and both of our province’s
furry forecasters, Manitoba Merv and Winnipeg Wyn
did not see their shadows that morning. Tradition says if
the groundhogs see their shadow, we are in for six more
weeks of winter and if they do not see their shadow we
can expect an early Spring. Let’s hope Merv and Wyn are
right in their predictions!

Holding the Liberals Accountable
View From
Parliament Hill
By
ROBERT SOPUCK
T his week, Members of Parliament made the jour-
ney back from work in their local constituencies
to resume their duties on Parliament Hill. As we re-
turn, we must focus our attention on the ever-growing
list of policy failures and lapses in judgement by the
current Liberal Government. Our Conservative team
will be jumping at every opportunity to hold them ac-
countable.
A good place to start will be Justin Trudeau’s car-
bon tax, which kicks in this April. Rewind back to the
election of 2015, and the Prime Minister was promis-
ing that he would leave it up to each province to de-
termine how to reduce their emissions. Yet despite
a new plan from Manitoba’s provincial government
to enhance our environment and reduce emissions
without a new tax, the Trudeau government is impos-
ing one on Manitobans anyway.
The Liberal plan has nothing to do with the en-
vironment, and everything to do with reaching even
deeper into the pockets of families and small busi-
nesses. Why else would Trudeau cut a special carbon
tax side deal with Canada’s largest carbon emitters so
that they don’t have to pay? Meanwhile, for the rest of
us, the tax starts at $20 a ton, going up to $50 in three
years, and internal government documents confirm
the Liberals are already planning for a carbon tax of
$300 a ton. At that rate, the average Canadian family
will pay $1,000 more to heat their home in the winter
and gasoline prices will jump more than 60 cents a li-
tre.
Justin Trudeau also promised in 2015 that his car-
bon tax plan would grant his government a so-called
‘social license’ to proceed with the expansion of safe,

modern pipelines. Yet Canadian families and workers
now find themselves with a carbon tax plan in place
and no pipelines in sight. Before Justin Trudeau be-
came Prime Minister, there were three private com-
panies willing to invest more than $30 billion to build
three, nation-building pipelines that would have cre-
ated tens of thousands of jobs.  Justin Trudeau killed
two, put the Trans Mountain Expansion on life-sup-
port, and introduced Bill C-69 to block future propos-
als.
Unfortunately, it’s not just higher taxes and job-
killing policies that require our focus.
Thousands of people are still crossing Cana-
da’s border illegally. In fact, since the Prime Min-
ister’s #WelcomeToCanada tweet last year, 40,000
people have come across our border illegally,
mostly from the United States, at a cost that the
PBO confirmed will total $1.1 billion by next year.
Recent missteps in the Canada-China relation-
ship have worsened an already precarious situation.
The Prime Minister has refused to call his Chinese
counterpart to try and resolve the ongoing dispute
and secure the release of two detained Canadians.
Meanwhile, we witnessed unacceptable interference
in a judicial case by Canada’s Ambassador to China,
John McCallum, who is a former Liberal cabinet min-
ister. Justin Trudeau should have listened to Andrew
Scheer and fired Mr. McCallum immediately, how-
ever, as usual; he showed weakness and allowed his
hand-picked ambassador to do even more damage
before finally firing him four days later.
Canada continues to suffer under unfair tariffs
imposed by the United States; the Liberals continue to
pursue crime and gun policies that target law-abiding
citizens instead of criminals; and spending remains
completely out of control – with deficits three times
higher this year than promised during the campaign
and no plan for a balanced federal budget until 2045.
With all of this on our agenda for the upcoming ses-
sion of Parliament, and much more, our united Con-
servative team will be hard at work trying to ensure
that 2019 is not another year of failure by the federal
government.

Wetlands act as a filter
for phosphorus and other
sediments and pollutants
that might otherwise enter
our waterways and lakes.
Wetlands mitigate flooding
by capturing runoff from
spring snowmelt or large
rains; they are aquifer and
groundwater recharge
sources. In the world of
carbon storage and se-
questration, wetlands are
very efficient and do a very
good job. In Manitoba,
they are also vital to the
existence of many wildlife
species like amphibians,
waterfowl and large ungu-
lates, such as moose and

Tuesday evening was excellent, there being a very large
attendance. The music was of the best, the floor in good
order and with most acceptable and agreeable partners,
what more?
1939 – School costs for the year have been set at
$15,313.
1949 – Word has been received that the river will be
called the Minnedosa River instead of Little Saskatch-
ewan.
1959 – The parking problem has become acute in
town and it is felt the town can’t go another year with-
out something being done regarding traffic on Saturday
nights, with cars parking everyway on Main Street. This is
eventually going to cause a serious accident.
1969 – There is mixed reaction to the prospect of a new
post office building in Minnedosa. Generally speaking,
older residents are against the move, thought not in all
cases while younger people and comparative newcom-
ers are in favour of a new building.
1979 – Zeke’s Quality Jewellers has relocated to its new
store between Boyd’s IGA and MacLeods. Meanwhile,
Chipperfield’s Clothing Centre is holding a 31st Anniver-
sary Sale with saving of 20 to 50 per cent on all stock.
1989 – Carol Taylor (Mrs. Bruce Taylor) has opened a
shop on Main Street. Carol’s Treasure Chest, located in
the Brede’s Restaurant building, has a lovely display of
giftware items as well as wicker, rattan, notions and crafts.

13th Annual Skate the Lake
Coming Next Weekend
By KAREN MITCHELL
M innedosa’s Skate the
Lake event is fast ap-
proaching for its 13th year.
Held February 16th and
17th on Minnedosa Lake,
popularity of the two-day
event only grows through-
out the area.
Founded in 2007 by
a group of area residents,
Skate the Lake is well
known for miles around
and enjoyed by hockey
players from Winnipeg,
northern Manitoba, Car-
man, Neepawa, Erickson,
Onanole and Brandon, just
to name a few.
2019 will be the sec-
ond year for an additional
feature to the event, Rock
the Lake, which is two per-
son team curling on the
lake. The Skate the Lake
committee works very
hard at trying to give a vari-
ety of activities and events
to peak any winter lover’s
interests.
Currently registered

teams, seventeen mens

tions had to be capped at
18 teams due to not being
able to find enough curling
rocks to expand beyond
three curling sheets. Reg-
istration deadline for Skate

Friday, February 8th.
Every year the com-
mittee gives back to local
projects in the area. Over
the last 12 years they have
