Fire Departments new Jaws of Life.
By ASHLEY HANKS
innedosa Firefighters along with the Town of

Minnedosa have partnered to purchase a new set
of Jaws of Life. These are a critical part of the equipment
that the fire hall needs to be completely ready for any call
they may encounter to ensure they are able to properly
help victims in crisis.
The Jaws of Life is actually a brand of tools which
is trademarked by the Hurst Jaws of Life company, but
the name is often used when talking about other brands
of rescue systems. The term Jaws of Life refers to several types of piston-rod hydraulic tools known as cutters, spreaders and rams, which during emergencies,
when there can be no time to waste, the Jaws of Life are
brought in to remove victims from the crashed vehicle
who may be trapped.
Previously, rescuers often usedcircular sawsfor vehicle extrication, but these suffered from several drawbacks.

Slippin and Slidin
Following last weeks Spring-like weather, a little

dose of winter returned to our area. As a result, there
were some slick road conditions earlier this week.
There were numerous vehicle incidents in Westman
with varying levels of severity, including a collision
between Minnedosa and Brandon Monday morning
which sent a local man to hospital. While travelling on
the highway I was shocked and angered at the number of motorists I witnessed who seemed completely
oblivious to the slick road conditions. Motorists passing at high speeds, passing in thick fog areas and
one in which I witnessed a driver slam on her brakes
causing her car to twist and turn in a fish tale in the
middle of the highway right in front of me. Somehow,
she gained control before hitting me or the ditch and I
hope she used a little more caution for the remainder
of her journey! If the roads are slick and slippery, use
your brain, slow down, be careful and of course watch
out for other drivers who may not have the common
sense to adjust their driving habits!
Kudos to Cleaners
The Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce received

an email recently from a Saskatchewan construction
worker extending compliments to the caretakers of the
Rest Stop at the north junction of Highways #10 and
#16. His email stated top notch job of taking care of
the washrooms and the whole facility. Job well done!
We are happy to pass that compliment along as they
come few and far between!

he fi nal stretch of
March is upon us.
Snow was gone, now its
back and hopefully gone
again soon! I know I am
ready for summer!
Last week I mentioned
that I would be bringing
up an issue that I have
seen in all small Manitoba
towns. In every town that I
have policed this has been
a topic of discussion. To
some a pet peeve and to
others no big deal. Crossing a double solid line;
lets get the facts and the
law straight on this one.
When one looks at Section 110 (d) of the Highway
Traffic Act, it states clearly
that a person may cross a
solid line (or double solid
line); with caution, cross
a solid line when necessary to turn left into a private road or driveway or
when necessary on enter-
ing the roadway from a private road or driveway. I

want you to pay particular
attention to the words entering the roadway. This
does not allow someone to
cross the solid line to park
on the opposite side of the
street. Nor does it allow
you to back out of angle
parking and cross the solid
line to proceed in the opposite direction.
Its safe to say that
most detachments get
complaints about this type
of offence in the spring and
summer months, usually
when the solid line is visible. Speaking of the solid
line, the only time police
can enforce this section of
the law is when the solid
line is visible. So if there is
snow that covers the roadway or if the lines are worn
and are not visible, the offence is diffi
culttoenforce.

Dear Editor,
or the first time in 30 years the Progressive Conservative (PC) Party of Manitoba will have a contested
nomination in this area.
Three candidates are vying for the right to represent the constituency of Riding Mountain in next Aprils
provincial election. The process was made necessary
with the announcement last fall that current PC MLA
Leanne Rowat would not seek re-election in 2016.
The PC Party has selected Saturday, April 25 as the
date where members will decide who becomes their
candidate in Riding Mountain. Voting will take place
between 10:00 a.m. and 12 noon at the Strathclair Arena. There will be candidate speeches at noon followed
by a speech by PC leader Brian Pallister.
There is still time to get involved in the process. All
residents of the Riding Mountain constituency aged 14
years and up are entitled to purchase a membership for
$10.00 and then have the right to choose who they want
to represent them as the PC candidate.
The cut-off for membership sales is Friday, April 10.
As one of the three nominees, I have been travelling to communities throughout the constituency for
the past two months meeting with municipal councils,
groups of people and individuals to inform them of the
nomination process, invite them to become members
and ask for their support. I am fortunate to have so
many great team members who have been working in
communities on my behalf and either myself or any of
them would be pleased to welcome you aboard with a
membership.
As a resident of the area since 1968, and having
business interests across the constituency, I feel I have
the ability to represent all residents and communities
equally, with a genuine interest and concern for the
wellbeing of the constituency as a whole. I have had the
opportunity to develop teamwork and leadership skills
as president of the provincial and national newspaper
associations something that will be very valuable as a
candidate for the PC Party.
I encourage you to get involved in the process by
purchasing a membership prior to April 10th, and supporting me in Strathclair on Saturday, April 25th.
Greg Nesbitt.

A New Idea in Waste

Management
By ASHLEY HANKS
ith continuous discussions about global warming and what to

do to make earth a better
place to live, new technology is constantly finding
its way into our backyards.
Celtic Power and Machining along with Sigma Professional
Engineering,
have come up with a new
way to burn garbage and
reduce waste at landfill
sites.
Municipalities and industries have been searching for ways to manage
waste, generate affordable
energy and create new revenue streams and Celtics
focus is to resource recovery, energy recovery and
public policy.
Sigma along with
Celtic, have developed,
evolved and proven a
unique and elegantly simple, cost effective waste
gasification to energy system. Affordable, small,
modular systems which
require minimal manpower and material handling
or processing can do so in
an environmentally sound
way. This process could
eliminate hauling of waste
for final disposal, eliminating material handling and
processing, thus eliminating the need for landfills.
This new technology

gives solutions to climate
change, clean air, water
quality and soil and can
deliver economic, environmental and health benefits to rural and remote
communities. Benefits can
include substation reduction in the overall cost and
reduction in the amount
and cost of logistic fuel
consumed for equivalent
electrical output, increase
the availability of electrical
power, and reduction of
waste material.
Small
communities
could completely eliminate 100% of their solid
wastes through recycling
or the reuse of all these
materials for energy or remanufacturing, without
transporting the waste out
of the community. Syngas
is produced from various
solid waste, within environmental regulations, it
can be used to produce
base load electrical energy
using the Celtic engine
generators and thermal
energy for a variety of local uses. Waste can be reduced up to about 95% in
volume, 82% in waste and
100% recycled.
Municipal, industrial,
medical, agricultural or
other non-hazardous solid
wastes materials can be
delivered to the gasifica-
tion facility where there

are no pre-sorting or preprocessing requirements.
Waste is then loaded into
the systems syngas generator and when the loading
of the vessel is complete,
the vessel is sealed and
the batch process is ready
to start. Aluminum, other
metals, glass and ceramics are recoverable in their
near original form postprocessing.
Thermal energy can
produce hot water, distilled
water, low/high-pressure
steam, absorption chiller
refrigeration, product drying heat and other uses for
communities, greenhouses, fish farms and other
agricultural and industry
applications.
Brian Reynolds from
Celtic has approached
Evergreen Environmental Technologies with this
new innovative technology of the gasifier, with a
positive outlook on the
proposal to have a modular placed at the regional
waste disposal facility. We
are at the point now to go
commercial, its just how
we go about going commercial, stated Reynolds.
Hopefully the future is
bright for this technology
to catch on, making our
environment more enjoyable for years to come.
lift a vehicle. The powerful jaws of these machines

can tear apart most vehicles like cutting through
a tin can. The spreader is
used to pull pieces of the
structure apart, or it can
be inserted into the side
of the vehicle to tear a section out. Thecutter, as the
name suggests, is used to
cut through the vehicle like
a pair of giant bolt cutters.
The total cost for such
equipment is approxi-
mately $23,225.00 in which

the Minnedosa Firefighters raised a total of $13,000
through poker derbies and
fundraisers. The Town of
Minnedosa covered the
remainder of the cost. The
Jaws were purchased from
BH Fire and Safety and
the fire departments old
set will be sold to another
nearby fire department.
There is a lot of different equipment a fire
department uses when
called to an accident or fire

and one that is very vital
is the Jaws of Life. These
devices have been called
upon to save thousands of
lives in situations where a
few seconds could mean
the difference between life
and death. The Town of
Minnedosa is fortunate to
have such essential equipment located right here,
where it will be used to
save the lives of those who
may need it.

Fun Fest Has a New Logo
Its That Time of Year

By ASHLEY HANKS
SUBMITTED
s many of you have probably seen, the Minnedosa

Public Works crews have been busy fixing water
line breaks over the past week or two. Its that time
of year, spring brings the thaw, stated Kevin Marcino,
Public Works Superintendent. So far, there have been
four line breaks which have been fixed with two more
requiring repairs as of Tuesday.
The majority of the breaks are stemming from
holes in the old copper lines and some stemming
from the old switch fitting. After being in the ground
some 30 to 40 years, the water running through the
lines has caused wear and they need to be replaced.
The copper lines are being replaced with a plastic
line and the switch fittings with compression fi ttings.
There is also the option for the homeowners to have
their lines replaced from the curb side to their house,
at their own cost.
Spring is underway and hopefully the thaw will
be done within the next couple of weeks. The Public
Works crew will continue repairing breaks and with
new lines and fi ttings being installed, this hopefully
wont be an issue next spring.
he Fun Fest Committee recently held a logo

contest that saw 22 entries,
seven of which were local.
It was pretty hard to pick a
winner as all of the entries
were very well done. The
winner of the logo contest
and the $100 prize, sponsored by Kirks Service,
comes from Sarah Bruederlin from Calgary, AB.
Sarah was born and raised
in Brandon and moved out
west a few years ago. Her
family still lives in Brandon
and when they saw the advertisement for the contest
on eBrandon they made
sure she was aware of it.
Sarah has been drawing for
years and has done logos

different designs and they
were all amazing! She had
to do some research about
the town and the festival
and really captured what
we are about in her designs. We were looking for
something fun and simple
so we decided to go with
her balloon entry. It appealed to children and
adults so we thought this
would be a good fit.
Another participant
in the contest mentioned
that she had never been

had to do some research
as well for her logo. She

Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
1. To prevent eyes from
tearing while cutting onions; run the tap water beside where you are standing. Or fi ll your mouth
with water while chopping.
Or hold an unlit wooden
matchstick between your
teeth while cutting onions.
2. After cutting green
onions, save the bulb ends.
Drop the bulbs into water
and they will regrow three
additional times.
3. You have noticed
that the homemade soup
you are cooking is too salty.

Drop a tablespoon of honey
into the soup to reduce saltiness. Or drop a raw potato
into the soup pot to absorb
salt; mash the potato into
the soup after it is cooked
or remove the potato and
compost.
4. Less work before
serving time. Mash potatoes about an hour ahead
of time. Then put them into
a slow cooker, on low.
5. Liven up garlic
mashed potatoes. Add a
heaping teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa; mash

into a pot of 10 boiled potatoes. Delicious.
6. Substitute water with
the same amount of warm
orange soda when baking
bread. The bread finishes
with a delicious taste and
rich color (great for pizza
crust as well).
7. Before company arrives; freeze lemon slices
and water into ice cube
trays. When guests are
thirsty, pop a lemon cube
into each water glass.
8. Before company arrives; pre-scoop ice cream.
Place scoops onto cookie
sheets and store in the
freezer. When dessert time
comes around, serving is a
snap.
9. Cook pasta one
minute less than the given
instructions. Drain pasta

and pour sauce into pan,
add pasta and cook for one
more minute.
10. Make rich, creamy
salad dressing a little
healthier. Substitute half of
the mayonnaise with Greek
style yogurt.
11. Add fl
avour to any
meat by preparing it with a
sprinkling of sugar (among
additional spices).
12. Marinade pot roast
in balsamic vinegar before
cooking. Tasty!
13. Warm up unfl avoured gelatin mixture only
until the gelatin dissolves. If
the mixture boils, the gelatin will not set.
14.
Save
leftover
cooked salmon and add it
to breakfast scrambled eggs
the next morning. Add dill
or chives for extra flavour.

Raising Awareness of Kidney Disease

By ASHLEY HANKS
ith March being Kidney Month, the Kidney Foundation of Manitoba is in full swing getting
information out to people
about the dangers of Kidney Disease and how to
detect it. Often people
dont know they have anything wrong. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is often silent and that is why
the Kidney Foundation is
eager to get the word out
to the residents of Manitoba on how to detect the
disease and prevent it.
Th e Kidney Foundation of Manitoba provides
programs and services
for people dealing with
kidney disease which in-
cludes referrals, educational resources, financial

assistance, screening clinics and peer support. The
March Drive has made its
way to Minnedosa and the
foundation is still looking
for volunteers in the area
to canvas 15 to 18 homes
to raise the awareness of
kidney disease. There is
always a need for volunteers for the Ride, Stride
and Bike coming up in
September. If you are interested in volunteering in
any capacity, please contact Lisa at ledwardson@
kidney.mb.ca
CKD is largely preventable through measures taken such as
healthy eating and living
an active lifestyle. There
are other types of kidney

disease that are not preventable such as those
from hereditary disease
and birth defects. There
are approximately 5,000
people in Manitoba and
an estimated 2.6 million
people across Canada
who have been diagnosed
with Kidney Disease. Approximately 1,300 of these
people are Manitobans
who have to travel for dialysis treatments or are
in need of a kidney transplant.
Detecting
Kidney
Disease is important and
people with diabetes and
high blood pressure are
more at risk than others.
It is important to see your
family doctor to get tested.
Th e Kidney Foundation
also offers screening clinics for at-risk populations
including people from Aboriginal, Afro-Caribbean,
Asian and Hispanic decent. There are treatments
for CKD which can prevent the need for dialysis
and if you find the disease
early, you can take action
to slow the progression
of the disease. Symptoms
can include urine that is
foamy, cloudy, bloody,
or looks like tea. Having trouble urinating and
itchy skin or rash are other
symptoms.
Th ere is no single
cause of CKD and Manitoba has the highest rates
of diabetes in Canada.

Count Down is On For

Strathclairs My Fair Lady
By COURTNEY NEWTON
he last few moments

before the curtains
open at a live theatre performance is exciting no
matter which side of the
curtain you are on. Anticipation fills the air, and you
know you are about to be a
part of something special.
Westman audiences
can be a part of that something special when Strathclair Drama Club presents
My Fair Lady from April
20th to April 25th. Its a
fun and inexpensive night
out with friends or family, as main floor seats are
$15.00, and balcony seats
are $10.00.
Tickets for the musical go on sale this Saturday, March 28th. They can
be purchased in person or
over the phone. Please see
the ad in this edition for
more information on purchasing tickets.
My Fair Lady is based
on George Bernard Shaws
Pygmalion, with book and
lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
and music by Frederick
Loewe. It was also adapted
into a highly successful
musical in 1964 starring
Audrey Hepburn as Eliza
Doolittle and Rex Harrison
as Professor Henry Higgins.
The story of My Fair
Lady deals with Professor

Henry Higgins, a brilliant,
crotchety, middle aged
bachelor who is Englands
leading phoneticist and
his relationship with a
Cockney flower seller, Miss
Eliza Doolittle. Their fi rst
encounter takes place near
the Royal Opera House,
Covent Garden, late on a
cold March night in 1912.
At this time, Higgins also
makes the acquaintance of
Colonel Hugh Pickering, a
linguistic expert. Higgins
invites Pickering to become a guest in his home.
Eliza visits Higgins and
offers to pay for speech lessons in order that she may
become a lady. Higgins accepts a bet that within six
months, he (Higgins) will
be able to pass Eliza off as
a duchess.
Higgins drills Eliza for
weeks. No hint of progress
is made, and Eliza loses
her courage, Higgins his
temper, and even Pickerings patience wears thin.
At last she improves
and Higgins resolves to put
Eliza to a preliminary test
by introducing her to his
mothers snobbish guests
at the Ascot Race. She behaves fl awlessly, but the
faade shatters when she
enthusiastically cheers on
a horse in an unladylike
manner.
Six weeks later, Higgins presents Eliza at a

full-dress Embassy Ball. It
becomes obvious that she
must fool Zoltan Karpathy, a European phonetics
expert. Eliza is successful
and Karpathy believes that
she is a Hungarian princess. Pickering and Higgins return home and bask
in their success, without
recognizing Elizas personal accomplishments.

To ensure youre able
to feel that anticipation
before the curtain opens,
please call or visit the box
offi ce at the Bend Theatre
to get your tickets. A waiting list will be kept in case
tickets become available
closer to the production.
See you at the Bend!
tinuing to age and diabetes rates rising, the rate

of Kidney Disease will
only get worse. There are
fi ve stages to kidney disease and the treatment a
patient receives depends
on what stage they are in.
Stage five is usually when
people begin dialysis.
Since 2008, approximately 45 new patients
begin dialysis treatments
each year in Manitoba,
and the province cannot build dialysis units
fast enough to keep up
with the demand. Home
dialysis has benefits such

as time saving, flexibility
and savings for the health
system. With less than 50
Manitobans doing dialysis from home, this could
be a good option.
If you are looking
to get out and enjoy the
beautiful weather we have
been having and want to
do some good in the process, canvassing for Kidney Disease could be a
great opportunity to talk
with your neighbours and
spread the word.

The second most comTh e most common
misconception is that mon claim is antibiotic
free. Under Canadian laws

there are certain antibiotics that can be fed to meat
producing animals. These
products are used judiciously by the feed industry when the animal shows
signs of illness. Antibiotics
are not a standard addition to feed. Antibiotics
cost the producer significant dollars from their
returns. Antibiotics have
various restrictions applied including what is
known as a withdrawal
time. This is the amount
of time it takes for the animal to metabolize all the
drug from its body and become residue free. If drugs
are used inappropriately
it can result in the animal
being withheld from market and increased costs.
There is no advantage to
the producer to administer drugs if the animal
has no underlying health
concern. Animals can be
raised on an antibiotic
free diet and the great majority are. Animals from an
antibiotic free marketing
program that become sick

shunted off to a different
marketing stream. However, just because an animal received an antibiotic
while growing up does not
mean the meat is contaminated.
Th irdly and related
to the previous topic is
the drug free statement.
Close but not quite the
same as antibiotic free. In
Canada there are various
compounds cleared by
Health Canada that improve the quality of life for
animals. These chemical
compounds control parasites that can damage the
intestinal organs, increase
the digestibility of critical
nutrients, decrease the
amount of fat deposited in
the meat (consumers like
lean meat) and stop heifers from coming into heat.

These compounds reduce
the level of stress that the
animals are subject to in
their everyday lives. Like
antibiotics these compounds are strictly monitored by the CFIA and
Health Canada. There are
strictly controlled withdrawal periods.
Overall
Canadian
produced poultry, swine
and beef is probably the
safest in the world. You do
not need to be concerned
about what is in the food
that your food had for dinner.
In Part Two we will
examine the all-vegetable
diet craze and what your
dinner actually eats.
