New Recycling Programs In Place At Evergreen

By Hillary Miller When all is said and done, ripped and torn clothing
the only items left from or single boots and shoes.

E vergreen Environmen-
tal Technologies, the
regional waste facility,
has been very busy find-
ing new ways to help keep
things out of the landfills.
Two new programs have
recently been implement-
ed. The first, a mattress
recycling program, and the
second, a clothing recy-
cling program.
The mattress recy-
cling program is being of-
fered through the Mother
Earth Recycling program
in Winnipeg, where the
mattresses are collected
and separated into fabric,
foam, metal and wood - all
of which can be recycled.
The program employs
staff who face barriers to
employment and it helps
them get back into the
workforce.
Each of the materi-
als that is separated out
from the mattresses is then
repurposed. The foam is
re-used in carpet under-
lay, the metal is put into
cans, the wood is made
into crafts or firewood.
the mattress are the plas-
tic corners off of the box
springs, and zippers.
This program began in
January of this year, and so
far, Evergreen Technolo-
gies has already collected
over 30 mattresses. Dave
Macdonald, of Evergreen
Technologies, will have
more information about
the success of the program
once it has been under-
way for a longer period of
time, but remains optimis-
tic about it. They are cur-
rently budgeting for about
20 mattresses per month,
which people need to drop
off themselves, and are
then sent to Mother Earth
Recycling in Winnipeg to
be dismantled.
In order for a mattress
to be viable for this proj-
ect, it must be dry and free
of bed bugs. MacDonald
noted that if a mattress
has been kept outside for
a length of time “it starts
to deteriorate, and at that
point it would just be con-
sidered trash – I wouldn’t
try to recycle it.” He rec-

been flagged as one of the
biggest waste items, with
nearly 13 million tons of
clothing going to waste in
North America each year.
With this new program,
clothing will be kept out of
the landfill, which will also
expand the life of the land-
fill.
In addition to re-use-

ing, the program also ac-

such as shoes, belts, hats,

underwear, wallets, fanny

bed and bath items such
as bedding, towels, blan-
kets, table cloths, curtains,
sheets, pillows, and small
throw rugs are also ac-
cepted. Items that are not
re-usable as clothing will
be used for rags or other
innovative items.
In addition to these
new recycling programs,
Evergreen Technologies
has had an electronics
recycling program for a
number of years, which
MacDonald expects has
saved about 40 tons from
the landfill. He has also
overseen the household
waste program, which
diverts paint and other
chemicals from the land-
fill. MacDonald is very ex-
cited and optimistic about
the two new programs be-
ing offered. “Anything we
can save from the landfill
is really exciting to get be-

Around Respect For Veterans

Town...
By Darryl Holyk
Daylight Saving Time…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, well almost!
This Sunday, March 11th marks the start of Daylight Sav-
ing Time which means longer days with more daylight!
The official time change occurs at 2 a.m. when we spring
our clocks forward one hour making for longer lighted
evenings as we look forward to Spring and Summer. Day-
light Saving Time was first observed in Canada 110 years
ago in 1908 and the upcoming season of Daylight Saving
Time will be in effect until we turn our clocks back one
hour on November 4th.
Deadly Roads…
Manitoba Public Insurance declared 2017 as one of
the safest years for road fatalities in 35 years but now,
reports that February 2018 was the second worst Febru-
ary for road deaths in two decades! During the previous
month, nine people lost their lives in road fatalities in the
province. Included in these statistics are the three women
involved in a fatal collision just southwest of Minnedosa
on February 14th. Causes for the nine February fatalities
have been determined as impaired driving, people not
wearing seatbelts, speeding and/or driving too fast for
road and weather conditions.

E very day, members of our Canadian Armed Forc-
es put on their uniforms and go to work to help
maintain the freedoms that Canadians often take for
granted. Our troops were on the front lines in the First
and Second World Wars, Korea, Afghanistan and Lib-
ya. Many more have taken part in peacekeeping mis-
sions in many other countries around the world.
As Conservatives, we have, and always will, sup-
port our men and women in uniform. Like all Canadi-
ans, we will be forever grateful for their service to our
nation.
Canadian veterans have asked the Liberal gov-
ernment for the respect and compensation they de-
serve and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shows them

nothing but disrespect. During a town hall meeting in
Edmonton a few weeks ago, the Prime Minister told
a solider, who lost one of his legs in Afghanistan, that
veterans are asking for more than his government is
prepared to give right now. This is unacceptable.
This Liberal government managed to find ten
million dollars to pay off a convicted terrorist, but is
not willing to support the men and women who have
made sacrifices for the benefit of all Canadians.
During the 2015 election campaign, Trudeau
promised that he would not fight veterans in court,
but this has become just another one of many broken
promises to Canadians. It is time for him to put the
needs of Canadian veterans first.
The Conservative caucus believes that Prime
Minister Trudeau should apologize to all the veter-
ans of the Canadian Armed Forces for the insensi-
tive comments he made, and take action to fulfill the
promises he made to them during the last election.
Our veterans deserve our respect and support.
You can count on me, and my fellow Conservative
Members of Parliament, to fight for them every day,
because they fought for all of us.

Bake Chewy Cookies Rather Than Hard Ones

Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
My daughter and I
were interested in pur-
chasing a home but the
smell of curry was so prev-
alent in the house, that I
could smell it all the way
home. It’s a lovely home,
but will we be able to get
rid of that smell? I know
she would paint the walls,
but what about the cup-
boards, backsplash etc.
Would you have any rec-
ommendations? Marilyn
Dear Marilyn,
For very overpower-
ing smells, you may want
to consider renting an
ozone machine because
the smell will disappear
quickly. This little machine
is not recommended for
regular use, but it is great
for enclosed areas that
have had smoke or flood
damage, or just smell. The
machine lets out a mol-
ecule called O3 (which of
course is oxygen with an
extra molecule attached).
The third molecule es-
capes into the air and ab-
sorbs all odours. These
machines can be rented at
tool rental retailers, as well
as some hardware stores.
Read all manufacturers’
instructions before use.
Dear Reena,
I stored some clothing
in a box that became wet
after our basement flood-
ed last spring. I haven’t
washed the clothing but
they really smell. What is
the best way to get rid of
the stink? Esther
Dear Esther,
Before washing the
clothing, soak them in hot
water and borax. Borax
contains no phosphates
and no bleach and it is
wonderful at zapping hard
to handle odours. If you
cannot locate borax, use a
generous amount of Oxy
Clean or tea tree oil and
vinegar or baking soda.
Adding vinegar to laundry
loads is a wonderful idea,
but for this instance you
need to use full-strength
vinegar and tea tree oil and
soak for at least two hours
before laundering. Laun-
der clothing with hot water
and heavy-duty detergent.
Dear Reena,
I use the recipe on the
back of the Chipits bag to
make chocolate chip cook-
ies. The chocolate chip
cookies that I bake always
come out of the oven hard
and not chewy like I would
like. What am I doing
wrong? Bill
Dear Bill,
The instructions on
the back of the bag rec-
ommend baking cookies
at 375 degrees. Turn your
oven to 350 degrees and
bake the cookies just until
the outside edge is slightly
brown. The cookies will
feel soft at first, but will set
when they cool.
My Mother-in-law
was 102-years-old when
she passed away, and she
showed me how to keep
white sheets white. She
gave me lots of valuable
tips. You wash the whites
(that can handle hot wa-
ter and Javex bleach),
first in cold water and
laundry soap. Then, you
wash them again, but this
time in hot water, Javex
bleach and laundry soap.
Hang clothes outside on
a clothesline, the whites
washed with bleach get
even whiter. Pauline

It’s A Great Time To Hit The Slopes
By Hillary Miller
W ith the recent snow-
fall it is the perfect
time to head out to Ski Val-
ley, and take in some fresh
air while enjoying some
downhill skiing! Until this
week’s heavy snowfall, the
accumulation of natural
snow has been less than
in some years, but that has
not slowed business at the
local ski hill.
Ski Valley owner, Don
Horner, noted that busi-
ness has been as steady as
ever at his snowy paradise
just north of Minnedosa.
The only damper on busi-
ness comes when the tem-
peratures are extremely
cold. “On nice days it is
busy, and on cold days it is
quiet,” said Don.
Horner has been in-
volved with Ski Valley for
39 years and explained
that in the downhill ski
business, you can never
predict what the season
will bring. “One year, you
could have a strong Janu-
ary, and the next year you
could have a weak January
but a strong December,”
said Don. “It’s Manitoba,
so it’s all over the board,
but it works out.” The typi-
cal ski season lasts for 14 to
16 weekends, and he has
had years where he has
lost seven of those week-
ends to poor weather.

While it’s something
most people might never
think of, weather fore-
casters can actually play
a factor in attendance at a
ski hill. Horner becomes
frustrated when weather
reporters comment on the
cold and advise people to
stay indoors and bundle
up. Often times people will
take that advice instead
of turning the cold situa-
tion into something posi-
tive and enjoyable such as
heading out to the ski hill.
Even with the previ-
ous small accumulation
of snow this season, Don
has noticed more natural
snow on the ski hills than
last year. “My snow doesn’t
melt, it doesn’t blow off
the hill, and I’ve got snow
from the fifth of Novem-
ber when it first started
to snow.” With this week’s
heavy snowfall, Ski Valley
will be open daily until it
closes for the season on
March 22nd. Before head-
ing out to the ski hill, it
is recommended to call
ahead, 204-867-3509 or
visit them online at skival-
ley.ca.
Ski Valley is a family-
friendly skiing attraction,
and all ages are truly wel-
comed. It offers nine runs
of all skill level including
beginner, intermediate
and advanced. There are
also a number of quali-

fied ski instructors to help
promote and teach the
many enjoyable benefits
or downhill skiing.
The Ski Valley school
program is also under-
way, which means that
during the week, the facil-
ity is open to welcome bus
loads of school students
taking part in a skiing field
trip. At this point, Horner is
pleased to say that he has
the whole month of March
booked solid with school
visits.
While some ski hills

offer added family attrac-
tions such as face paint-
ing, tubing or fireworks,
Ski Valley prides itself on
being a no-frills ski hill
where the focus is on good,
affordable family fun. “We
just have the mountain’s
best snow, and I offer good
skiing at a good price,” said
Don. He does not offer
wifi, offering guests relief
and a chance to unplug
and simply enjoy the thrill
of careening down a hill on
skis. He keeps his hill to

Storm Of The Season Keeps Snow Crews Busy

Continued from Page 1
The storm blew in late
Sunday afternoon and con-
tinued steadily through-
out the next day. Finally,
by Tuesday morning, the
snowfall had stopped leav-
ing the Minnedosa-Erick-
son region with an accu-
mulation of 30 centimetres
of fresh snow to clean up.
This was the highest ac-
cumulation of snowfall for
communities affected by
the storm.
Sunday evening, as

side entrance of The Tribune office.

ers pulled their rigs into
downtown Minnedosa to
park for the night. Local
road closures included
Highway #10 from Bran-
don north through Riding
Mountain National Park
and Highway #16 west of
Minnedosa. Both highways
were re-opened Monday
although drivers were cau-
tioned they were still snow
covered with poor visibility
in some area.

spring break. All schools
were closed in Rolling Riv-
er School Division Monday
and Tuesday.
Before the sun came
up Monday morning, and
as the snow and wind
continued, snow removal
crews were out in full force
cleaning the streets, side-
walks and parking lots.
A few drivers who ven-
tured out before roadways
were cleared found their
tires spinning to maneu-
ver through the snow or
wound up stuck at a dead
stop needing a push or pull
from others to continue
on.

ly heard as plows, trac-
tors and skid steers joined
those who were snow
blowing and shoveling to
get the snow cleaned up
and piled out of the way.
Hats off to all involved in
the snow removal/cleanup
process. Hopefully, every-
one was patient and un-
derstanding as they did
their best to get the snow
cleared. Clearing that
much snow takes a while
and cannot all be done in
one fell swoop.
Ironically, this week’s
winter storm blew in ex-
actly one year after a simi-
lar storm hit this region on
March 6th and 7th, 2017.
Hopefully, the old say-
ing about March weather is
true… it blew in like a lion
so we can look forward to
the month ending like a
lamb.

sion to bring a little more
joy to the table. Every
meal, of every day, can be
enhanced if you want it to,
and it is my goal here to
give you some small, easy
suggestions to do just that.
Cloth Napkins - Ditch
the paper and go with cloth
napkins. The look and the
soft texture of cotton cloth
will make every wipe of the
mouth/hands more luxu-
rious. This doesn’t have to
be an expensive option -
good quality napkins can
be found at thrift stores
and easily washed. Overall
cloth napkins are better for
the environment too.
Candles - One can
easily purchase an afford-
able box of candles from
a department/discount
store and while you’re at
the thrift store look for a
simple (multiple or single)
candle holder. A quick flick
of a lighter or match, and
every eating experience
will seem more intimate

and special.
Wine Glasses or Fan-
cy Glasses - Don’t save
these for special occasions
only. Life is meant to be en-
joyed and they are meant
to be used; otherwise why
do you have them?
Pottery - We love eat-
ing from pottery plates and
bowls. We call these pieces
of dishware “functional
art”. We can appreciate the
artistic talents that went
into making such pieces,
but they are of great func-
tion at the same time. Just
purchase a piece or two
at a time and don’t wor-
ry about them matching
overall. There’s something
very rustic of a table set-
ting with an assortment of
beautiful pottery glaze co-
lours.
Garnish - Far too of-
ten we forget about finish-
ing touches on our meals.
This does not have to be
elaborate. By definition “a

OBITUARIES
LENNARD HOLM
Lennard Eugene Holm
passed away on February 12th,
2018 at the Minnedosa Personal
Care Home. He was born and
raised in Scandinavia, Manitoba
where his family ran a fur farm
raising foxes and mink.
Lennard worked many
trades. He was a transit driver for
Winnipeg Transit for 11 years and
a carpenter in Riding Mountain
National Park for 19 years. During
this time, He and his family lived in
Clanwilliam until he retired and moved
to Minnedosa. He was interested in refinishing and repairing
antiques.
Lennard is survived by his wife of 62 years, Janice, daugh-
ter Sharon and son Bernard. He also leaves behind three grand-
children; Timothy, Shelly and Joshua and four Great grandchil-
dren; Kaylee, Kaitlyn, Avy and Cooper.
Lennard was predeceased by his sisters Ruby Nylen, Della
Nylen and brother Leo Holm.
We say goodbye to a loving husband, father and grand-
father. He will be sadly missed by many. X
JOHN KERLUKE
February 3rd, 1944 –
February 9th, 2018
It is with great sadness
that we announce the passing
of John Kerluke at the age of 74.
John was the only child born
in Minnedosa to parents Harry
and Mary Kerluke.
John was a very hard-
working man. Under that gruff
exterior was a man with a heart of
gold who would help anyone in
need. Although he worked less after
reaching retirement age he continued to do
flat deck trucking and still hauled oversized loads all over Can-
ada and the US. He especially enjoyed his travels to the Can-
adian east coast, Alaska and northern Canada. Even on his time
away from the truck he still loved to travel and take road trips.
His favorite holidays were spent fishing or in the Caribbean
soaking up the sun. He enjoyed meeting new people and ex-
ploring new locations.
Family and friends were always important to him. He
liked to keep in touch with everyone and always enjoyed the
conversations with his highway friends and fellow truckers. He
enjoyed his chosen career as an owner operator for nearly 40
years and he was proud of all the awards he earned over that
time.
He was about to “officially retire” (we’d been hearing that
for years!) when life threw him a major curveball. Like every-
thing else he met the challenge head on with courage, dignity
and a sense of humor. His concern even then was more for his
family than for himself. Even with the odds stacked against him
he was determined to make the most of his time and fought
hard to stay as long as he could.
As he often said, “I’ll just make one more trip and then I’m
done”. We will miss him.
John is survived by his wife Gloria, sons Jonathan and
Jordan (Sarah); mother in law Dianna Reimer; brother in law
Kevin Reimer; sister in law Aleisha (Ryan) Eyford and their chil-
dren Lilja and Benjamin Eyford; aunts, uncles and cousins.
John is predeceased by son Darrin (December 2016), par-
ents Harry and Mary Kerluke; father in law Ben Reimer, aunts,
uncles and cousins.
Eulogy was by Jordan Kerluke and Sarah Megran. Pallbear-
ers were; Kevin Reimer, Wayne Kozak, Curtis Kerluke, Craig
Turchinski, Merv Farough and Ken Betteridge. Funeral services
were held February 16th, 2018 with interment in the Minnedo-
sa cemetery.

NICHOLAS MELNYK
Nicholas Melnyk passed
away on February 21st, at the age
of 75, with his family by his side
at Minnedosa Hospital after a
courageous battle with cancer.
Nick was born in New-
dale, MB on December 11th,
1942. He was raised on the
family farm where he resided
until a month before his passing.
He attended Montcalm School
until grade nine and then took over
the family farm. He then met Shirley
Pshyshlak in Rackham, MB in the fall of
1965. They married in Ozerna church on June 10th, 1967.
Nick and Shirley worked on the family farm where they
raised their four daughters, Cheryl, Debbie, Tracy and Judy.
Nick enjoyed being a part of the Knights of Columbus for the
past 20 years and was actively involved in his church.
One of Nick’s passions was farming. He and his family ran
a mixed grain and livestock operation. He attended a six-month
agriculture school in Sandy Lake and often enjoyed attending
grower meetings and seminars to further his knowledge. Nick
enjoyed every aspect of raising his family on the farm, including
planting a garden big enough to provide for his family, show-
ing his daughters how to shear sheep, taking his kids on sleigh
rides, and cutting wood with his grandkids. One of the fondest
memories for his family was harvest time with Gigi, riding the
combine and having supper in the field.
Nick loved having company. His door was always open and
coffee was always on. There was never a time that he was too
busy for company and he would drop whatever he was doing to
have a visit. You could never stop in for just 10 minutes because
it would often turn into three hours.
Nick’s main passion in life was his family, which started
with his wife and four daughters and rapidly grew. The four girls
married giving him four son-in-law’s, 11 grandchildren, two
grandchildren-in-laws and seven great grandchildren. Nick
was at his happiest during family gatherings, which didn’t stop
at the traditional holidays but included farm parties, annual
meat cutting and sausage making, birthday parties and relay
for life. During his sickness, he was always surrounded by his
family.
Nick is predeceased by his parents, William and Mary Mel-
nyk, his mother and father-in-law, Michael and Irene Pshysh-
lak, brother-in-law’s Metro Marcinyk and Roman Drozda.
He will be missed by his wife, Shirley, his daughters Cheryl
(Darren), Debbie (Rob), Tracy (Tyler) and Judy (Rob), his
grandchildren Nicole (Aaron), Jenna, Chad (Kathryn), Riley,
Shane, Chelsea, Reid, David, Liberty, Nathan and Ty, and great
grandchildren, Austin, Kohen, Walker, Payton, Emma, Summer
and Case. Also leaves behind his sisters Sylvia (Sam), Eileen,
Patricia (Walter), sister-in-law Rose-Marie as well as numerous
nieces, nephews and cousins.
Cancer does not care who it takes, who it hurts, or honor or
love. It comes into your life and starts to break the threads that
hold you and you are left to see pieces of yourself slip away and
dreams fade. But the end is when the most amazing thing hap-
pens, cancer loses its strength and grace appears. We need to see
it. We accept it, and go with it. Grace and love win, not cancer.
Should family and friends so desire, donations may be
made in honour of Nick to Cancer Care Brandon, 620 Frederick
St., Brandon MB R7A 2B3.
CARD OF THANKS
The familiy of Nicholas Melnyk wish to thank all the
friends, neighbours and family for their many acts of kindness
during Nick’s illness and passing. No words could ever express
our appreciation for the love and support you have shown dur-
ing this difficult time. We are deeply grateful. It was heart warm-
ing for us to have so many people attend Nick’s funeral. Thank
you to Father Emil Kardasinec for the funeral and graveside
service, to Ernie Gawaziuk, the cantor, the church choir and
Anita’s catering for the lovely meal Thank you to Prairie Moun-
tain Health Ambulance service and Minnedosa Hospital Palla-
tive Care for the care and compassion you gave Nick during his
last few days. God Bless you all. Shirley Melnyk and family. x
