Wine And Beer Fundraiser Raises $5,800 For Clinic

By Hillary Miller with easy access for all, sampling stations, five of when we were going to run
the church hall was a great which showcased wine one again, so that made

O n the evening of Fri-

day, January 19th, a
Wine and Beer Fundraiser
was held at the United
Church hall, in support of
the Dr. Ajai Khandelwal
Primary Care Centre.
The organizing com-
mittee sold over 125 tick-
ets at $50 a ticket and had
well over 100 people in at-
tendance. Susan Glasgow,
one of the organizers,
noted that they were
very appreciative to the
Minnedosa United Church
for letting them use their
venue, especially since it’s
not really your typical ven-
ue for something like this.
Located right in the heart
of downtown Minnedosa
venue for such a fundraiser
and created a nice atmo-
sphere.
Of course, all who at-
tended to sample beer and
wine were of legal drink-
ing age and ranged from
young to “not so young”.
This created a nice mixture
of people all out to have a
good time, sample some
new tastes and support a
very worthwhile cause for
our community.
The beer and wine
tasting event was co-ordi-
nated by Glasgow on be-
half of the Primary Care
Centre committee and
Colleen Cook from the lo-
cal Manitoba Liquor Mart.
The setup featured nine
and four that featured beer.
The event focused on craft
beers, and had samples
from as far away as Keno-
ra, ON, and some samples
from Killarney, MB. There
was also a good selection
of food, which was pro-
vided by Heritage Co-op.
Glasgow added that there
was more than enough
food and drinks for every-
body.
The beer and wine
tasting event came about
following a whiskey sam-
pling event last year. Orga-
nizers of this most recent
event have received noth-
ing but positive feedback
from those who attended.
“People were asking us
us feel really good,” said
Glasgow.
After all of the num-
bers were crunched,
Glasgow was pleased to
report their first-ever wine
and beer tasting fundrais-
er brought in $5,800 for
the Primary Care Centre,
bringing them ever closer
to their end goal.
Organizers are dis-
cussing some other pos-
sible fundraising ideas but
no firm details have been
decided. Stay tuned for
other possible fundraisers
in support of the new med- Photo submitted
ical clinic.
Over 100 people sampled different beers and
wines in support of the new clinic.

Bombers Win…
Minnedosa Senior Bombers hosted their latest game
at the local arena last Saturday night (January 20th) tak-
ing on the neighbouring Neepawa Farmers. Our local
Bombers achieved another win defeating the Farmers
7-1. Shane Jury shot three of the game’s goals, Wyatt Rap-
sky shot two and Matt Saler one. The winning Bombers
goal was made by Cory Hodgson in the third period. The
Bombers will host their next home game tomorrow night
(Saturday, January 27th) when they welcome the Glad-
stone Lakers to the local ice.
Co-op Funding Available…
For 2018, Co-ops across Canada are offering $2 mil-
lion to support capital projects through the Co-op Com-
munity Spaces program. Funding between $25,000 and
$150,000 will be available per project for projects dedi-
cated to recreation, urban agriculture and environmental
conservation. Since the program began in 2015, a total of
$4.5 million has been donated to 64 projects. Registered
non-profit organizations, registered charities or commu-
nity service co-operatives can apply for the 2018 Co-op
Community Spaces program between February 1st and
March 1st. To apply, visit communityspaces.ca
Fewer Road Deaths…
Manitoba Public Insurance released stats this week
that show that even though there were 73 people killed
in 65 fatal collisions last year, 2017 was one of the safest
years on public roads in the province since 1982. Last
year’s results were second only to 2014 when there were
68 fatalities. Last year’s roadway fatalities saw a 32 percent
decrease from 2016 in which 107 deaths were reported
on Manitoba roads. Preliminary data indicates that the
cause for last year’s fatalities included impaired driving,
distracted driving, speed and lack of seatbelt use. These
reasons indicate that the majority of these fatalities could
have been prevented if drivers had not been impaired or
distracted or by simply slowing down and wearing a seat-
belt. This is a good reminder to all of us to drive safe.

It’s Time To Talk Again
By DARRyL HOLyK
T his coming Wednesday, January 31st, is Bell Let’s
Talk Day, the day when everyone is encouraged
to open the lines of communication about men-
tal health. While this is a great one-day initiative in
which Bell donates five cents from every applicable
text, call, tweet, social media video view and use of
Bell’s exclusive Facebook frame or Snapchat  filter,
mental health is something that should be at the
forefront every single day, all year long.
The old myth that mental illness was not a real
illness is becoming a thing of the past as more people
are realizing that this is an actual illness people suf-
fer from. People opening up about mental illness is
on the rise and it is no longer something that every-
one keeps hidden for fear of being judged. Research
has found that one-in-five Canadians will experi-
ence mental illness at some point in their life. If not
personally, they will encounter someone they know
who battles mental illness.
A few years ago, I made the decision to go public
with my personal battle with depression by writing
an editorial about it. I contemplated writing it for a
long time, unsure if it was the right thing to do. Final-
ly, I realized that the lines of communication needed
to be opened and that it was not a shameful thing to
admit to others what I was going through. I expected,
like many previous things I had written in the paper,
that it would come out, people would read it and that
would be the end of it. That is not what happened
in this case. Immediately, the very day the edition
of The Tribune came out with my viewpoint about
depression, I received phone calls and emails from
readers – people right here in our community letting
me know they were also dealing with mental illness.
That made it all worthwhile – just knowing that there
were others right here at home dealing with similar
things made me feel more comfortable about my
situation.
Mental illness can affect anyone, men and wom-
en, from children to seniors. The type of mental ill-
ness a person deals with can include a wide range of
issues. Some of the different groups of mental illness
identified by health professionals include anxiety
disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, child-
hood disorders, personality disorders, psychotic
disorders and dementia. While some people may

consider suicide a mental illness, it is not, however,
sadly, many times suicide is a choice made by some-
one suffering from a mental illness who feels there is
absolutely no alternative for help and comfort.
No matter what type of mental illness a person
may have and may be suffering from, there is help
available. There are different types of help including
medications, counselling or some self-help changes
in your personal life. Different treatments work for
different people and no two situations are the same.
I have been through counselling and have been pre-
scribed different medications before finally, find-
ing the option that works best for me personally. It
wasn’t an easy road to travel down, but in the end, I
was able to find what worked best to keep my depres-
sion under control. I cringe at the thought of where
I may be mentally today if I had given up and not
found what works for me.
If you are reading this and suffering from any
type of mental illness, know that there is always help
available. No matter how isolated you may feel, you
are not alone. The first step to a better life is to come
out of the darkness and reach out to someone. There
are many online resources available and a good
starting point is the BellLetsTalk website. If you are in
absolute crisis, get immediate assistance by calling
911 or your local hospital. The bottom line is, there
is help – reach out and begin your journey back to a
healthy you!
Bell Let’s Talk Day is considered the World’s big-
gest conversation about mental health. Since 2010,
Bell Let’s Talk has raised over 86 million dollars for
mental health. During last year’s Bell Let’s Talk Day,
a record 131,705,010 messages were communicated
and #BellLetsTalk was Canada’s top hashtag in 2017.
Let’s keep that trend growing and keep the lines of
communication open.

A head of Red Tape

Awareness Week™
2018, which ran from Janu-
ary 22nd to January 26th,
the Canadian Federation
of Independent Business
(CFIB) presented its an-
nual Paperweight Awards.
These awards bestow rec-
ognition on the govern-
ment departments and
agencies responsible for
egregious examples of ex-
cessive regulation hurting
small businesses.
“Red tape ranges from
garden-variety ridiculous
rules and poor govern-
ment customer service to
the big bureaucratic head-
aches threatening the very
survival of a business,” said
CFIB Vice-President, Rich-
ard Truscott. “Awarding
Paperweights is like using
sunlight as a disinfectant,
to shine national attention
on ridiculous red tape.”
This year, there are 14
Paperweights from across
the country:

prime examples of low-
hanging fruit where gov-

reduce headaches for Can-
ada’s entrepreneurs,” said
CFIB Executive Vice-Pres-
ident, Laura Jones.
Now in its ninth year,
Red Tape Awareness
Week™ is again highlight-
ing the cost and impact
of excessive regulations.
Throughout its history,
the annual campaign has
influenced governments
across the country to
launch red tape reduction
initiatives.

est association of small
and medium-sized busi-

Minnedosa has certainly
seen many significant
changes over the decades.

more recent residents and

New Vital Signs Monitor For Hospital
By HiLLARY MiLLeR
T he Minnedosa Hos-

ceived a donation of a
new vital signs moni-

District Health Auxiliary.
The vital signs moni-
tor was part of a wish list
compiled by hospital
staff, and cost close to
$8,000.
The new device will
be a crucial part to the
hospital’s emergency
room. Along with the
typical functions of a vi-
tal signs monitor, which
include pulse rate, body
temperature and blood
pressure, the device
also has a capnography
monitor, which will help

In recent years, that trim

Drowning In Foot Odour? Try Crumpled Newspaper
Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Hi Reena,
Despite regularly
washing my sheets, they
have an odour that will
not wash out. I’ve tried
bleach and borax, (not at
the same time), but noth-
ing removes the smell. I
can’t afford new sheets, so
I’m wondering if you have
a solution for me. Duncan
Dear Duncan,
This is a common oc-
currence, and often clean-
ing results depend upon
the chemicals used to man-
ufacture the textile. Soak
the sheets in one tbsp. dish
soap and enough hot water
to cover the sheets. Add at
least four cups white vin-
egar to the water. Leave for
one hour and launder as
normal.
Dear Reena,
I have four sons and
an endless amount of
laundry. The biggest chal-
lenge that I have right now
is foot odour in my house.
Since six people live in our
home, and three of them
play sports, I am drowning
in the smell of foot odour.
Do you have any advice for
reducing the smell of feet
in my home? Kelly
Dear Kelly,
The easiest remedy for
Friday, January 26, 2018
foot odour, is to stuff all
footwear with crumpled
newspaper whenever they
are not in use (or store
some shoes outside). An-
other option is to purchase
a few pairs of knee high
nylons from a dollar store.
Stuff the nylons with ei-
ther: fresh coffee grounds
or baking soda sprinkled
with essential oils. Close
each nylon sock with an
elastic band and place one
inside of unoccupied foot-
wear. Lastly, place a fabric
softener sheet inside each
shoe.
Dear Reena,
I spent a lot of money
on steak to serve at my din-
ner party last week. I was
horrified because after I
plated the meat, each guest
had a puddle of blood on
their plate. I checked the
temperature, and it was
medium according to the
thermometer. Is this nor-
mal? Emily
Dear Emily,
I experienced this di-
lemma several times until
I realized a trick that made
a big difference. It is always
a great idea to let the meat
rest for several minutes
before plating the food. As
the proteins harden they
draw to the centre of the
meat. When meat has a
chance to rest, the juices
will redistribute and reab-
sorb into the meat.
Dear Reena,
To add to your advice
regarding cream cheese.
First, the best before date
applies to pre-opening,
not after. To keep a tub
fresh, replace the foil cover
after each dip with a knife,
and make sure nothing
Should We Ban Lobster Boiling?
By CHEF DEZ
T he best way for cook-
ing almost all foods is
from the freshest possible
ingredients. Seafood, is no
different, and if anything,
even more imperative to
do so for premium texture
and flavour. With shellfish
specifically, it has been
long standing tradition in
the chef’s world to cook
from live whenever pos-
sible to be assured of opti-
mal guaranteed freshness.
Thus, recently when it was
announced that Switzer-
land is planning to ban the
boiling of live lobsters, it
caught my attention.
Upon further inves-
tigation, supposedly this
practice of boiling live
lobsters has already been
banned in New Zealand
for close to two decades.
So, why has this recently
been brought to the fore-
front of Swiss law? In my
opinion, it has been just a
matter of time for this topic
to be in the news (and the
law) again.
As expected, there are
many opinions about not
only this, but as always, the
treatment of food animals
in general by us humans.
Overall, I believe we are
in better times, where we
are generally more aware
of how animals are treated
in the process of being pre-
pared for the journey to
the marketplace, and ul-
timately our dinner table.
Making sure cattle, pigs,
lamb, and chickens for ex-
else but cheese is on the
knife. Mold spores are in
the air all the time. Next,
both tub and brick cream
cheeses freeze well. They
may appear watery upon
thawing but just put them
into a bowl and stir until
smooth. I have been freez-
ing and baking with all fat
levels for years. Jane

where do we draw the line?
Can we honestly say that
the humane treatment of a
cow going to butcher, is of
the same importance and
concern of a lobster being
boiled alive?
When I first heard this
new story, my initial reac-
tion and comment was
“how ridiculous! This has
gone too far!” It wasn’t long
after though, that I started
thinking about this more,
and I believe that’s where
the value is: being aware.
I don’t think we need our
government to decide in
legal rulings what we can
or can’t do in our kitchens,
but I appreciate news sto-

more conscious of my ac-
tions. This doesn’t neces-

boiling live lobsters in the
future, but my overall con-

living creatures has been
heightened... and that is
never a bad thing. So thus,
I may think twice before
choosing to, or not to.
However, I honestly
don’t believe that crusta-
ceans have the same feel-
ings, or central nervous
system, as mammals do,
and thus how can we treat
them in the same respect?
Again, where do we draw
the line then? If we care
to this degree in the ethi-
cal treatment of lobsters,

then it could also be ar-
gued that all crustaceans,
including crabs, crayfish,
and prawns, for example,
should be treated with the
same respect and recogni-
tion. Then if we are hon-
ouring all crustaceans in
this manner, then what
about the feelings of mol-
lusks like cephalopods
such as octopus and squid;
or bivalves such as clams,
mussels and oysters?
Aren’t they living creatures
as well, and the treatment
of them should also be
considered when it comes
time for harvesting and
preparation? Quite liter-
ally food for thought, but I
think you can understand
how this discussion could
be never ending, let alone
encompass it completely
in a single food column.
If this is a concern for
you however, how are you
expected to cook your live
lobster in the future? It is
recommended that the
lobster is “knocked out”
first before entering the
boiling water, by the pro-
cess of freezing or other
means.
Being more caring in
our actions is never a bad
thing, but let’s just keep it
in a perspective that you
are comfortable with. In
the meantime... Happy
Cooking!

65 Years Ago – Local Girl Adopts Bambi
By DARRYL HOLYK
B ack in 1953, a local
family made local and
provincial news when they
took in a new pet – a young
fawn. Eight-year-old Carol
Graham, who would later
marry and become Carol
McManus, is pictured
above with her unique pet
– a three-week-old, nine-
pound fawn she appropri-
ately named Bambi.
How this all came to
be, according to news re-
ports from that time, was
when Carol’s dad, Harold,
was spraying summer fal-
low on his farm just east
of Minnedosa. He spot-
ted something that at first,
appeared to be a bundle
of clothing. He decided

clothing but instead a very
young, frightened moth-
erless fawn believed to be
only a few days old.
The small animal was
rescued and taken to the
Graham home where Carol
and her older brother, Ray,
bottle fed the young visitor
milk and soon after Bambi
was drinking milk from a
pan. He also enjoyed spe-
cial treats of sugar now and
then.
Upon arrival at his
new, loving home, little
Bambi immediately took to
young Carol. He and Carol
instantly become insepa-
rable companions and best
friends. He stayed close to

she rode her bike, Bambi
was right there, running
closely behind her. He also
followed her following her
through long grass which
was taller than he was.
In addition to his best
human friend, Carol, little
Bambi also fit in well with
the other animals at the
Graham farm including
two dogs, Lettie and Mick-
ey, cats and a bunny. There
is another unique story
with the cats and bunny as
the Graham’s old mother
cat adopted the tiny aban-
doned bunny and nursed
it along with her own litter
of kittens.

was passed on to her three
children; Chris, Cheryl and
Nicole. In addition to the
common farm animals
such as horses, cows and
pigs, Cheryl can remember
her mom hand-feeding a
little abandoned fox and
numerous calves. “Mom
was a real animal person,”
recalls Cheryl. “She had
a special love for animals
and especially if one was
abandoned, she would
take it home and care for
it .”
It is not known just
how long little Bambi re-

there, he made a special
friend in Carol. Her little
Bambi always held a spe-

CARD OF THANKS IN MEMORIAM
OBITUARY
PATRICIA GAIL HEUCHERT
September 28th, 1946 - January 13th, 2018
On  January  the  13th  2018  with both  of her  sons at her
side, Mom having been diagnosed with Leukemia took her last
breath. She  endured Leukemia with the same vigor  and ten-
acity that defined the way she lived each day.
Mom was born in  St.Boniface  on September 28th  1946,
the youngest of eight children.  Her parents, Richard and Emi-
ly, had emigrated from Ireland and settled the family in Winni-
peg.  During her time in the city Pat pursued a higher education
and cultivated  the relationship that would lead to her happy
marriage to  her loving husband Ronald  Heuchert. She is sur-
vived by her two loving sons Bill and Greg.
Pat achieved many successes during her career as a teach-
er and counsellor but it was how deeply she was able to connect
and resonate with people on an individual level that will be her
legacy. 
Into retirement Pat stayed busy with yoga, travelling, read-
ing and time with friends and family. Pat was truly loved by her
many nieces and nephews and was a source of much family
history for all. 
Pats family would like to acknowledge the great wealth of
compassion  shown by a seemingly endless source of people.
The nursing staff at the Health Sciences Centre, Doctors both
near and far, friends, family, volunteers, Home Care, Palliative
Care and especially the Minnedosa nursing staff. The family is
truly grateful for the compassion and care you provided. 
For those that wish to show their condolences please do-
nate to Minnedosa Palliative Care.

Skate the Lake 2018 – More Than Just Hockey

By Hillary Miller In addition to the tra- Community Confer-
ditional Skate the Lake for- ence Centre to support

Y our favourite outdoor

skating experience is
soon to be upon us. Skate
the Lake 2018 will run at
Minnedosa Lake February
17th and 18th, and is sure
to action-packed and full
of fun.
Team registrations for
the annual pond hockey
fundraising tournament
are open and so far, there
are a few women’s teams
entered and men’s teams
have begun to trickle in.
Tanis Barrett, one of the
organizers, hopes to see
a good turnout again this
year from the local minor
hockey program.
Barrett’s hope is to
have about 10 ladies teams,
and 20 men’s teams. Reg-
istrations for the event will
close on February 8th, so
get your team registered
sooner rather than later.
Each team should consist
of about five or six play-
ers, since there will be four
players on the ice at any
given time.
mat, some new exciting ad-
ditions are coming forward
for this year’s event. “This
is a bit of an expansion
year for us,” explained Ta-
nis. “We have added pond
curling to our event.” The
“pondspiel” will include
three rinks with two-per-
son teams competing over
six ends. There will also be
a funspiel for ‘stick curling’,
where players don’t need
to crouch down to throw
their rocks. Ideally, Barrett
said she would like to see
20 teams sign up for the
pond curling event.
Last year, the weather
was warmer than organiz-
ers and players would have
liked, turning the skating
rinks into near-swimming
pools. Luckily, - a back-
up location was available
for the games to play out
at the Minnedosa Arena.
However, this year, the
arena will not be available
to the group. During the
Skate the Lake weekend,
Minnedosa Arena will play
last year’s Skate the lake weekend saw warmer than usual
temperatures which was both a good and bad thing!
host to the AAA Bantam
Girls hockey team through
the Yellowhead Chiefs pro-
gram. “You can never pre-
dict, but we think we are
going to have absolutely
perfect weather to stay
outside,” hopes Barrett.
In addition to outdoor
hockey and curling on the
lake, canteen and bar in
the Pavilion will be open,
and the second annual
Chilli Cookoff will be held
on the Saturday. “It worked
out excellent last year, be-
cause it smelled delicious
and a lot of people came
File photo
to sample the chilli or to
see how their entry did in
the judging,” said Barrett.
“Then, they got to watch
some hockey and this year
they’ll get to watch the
hockey and the curling.”
Saturday night will
also see a social at the
the Beach Enhancement
Committee in their ini-
tiative to replace the play
structure at the beach. The
theme for the evening will
be “Jersey Up”, when fans
can show up wearing their
favourite hockey jerseys,
and support a great cause.
Barrett said they are
still seeking volunteers for
the event for ice mainte-
nance, serving at the bar,
and working at the can-
teen. Anyone who is inter-
ested can contact Barrett.
Over the last 11 years,
Skate the Lake has raised
close to $84,700 for vari-
ous community initiatives.
Last year’s event raised
$10,000 which was shared
between the Minnedosa
Arena for a sound system
upgrade and the Beach
Enhancement committee.
Proceeds from this year’s
tournament weekend will
support special projects
of the Minnedosa Minor
Hockey program.
