Boil Water Advisory

For Odanah Lifted
By JEFF PEARSON

he phone lines were busy at the Municipality

of Minto-Odanah the morning of November
6th when residents heard through the grape vine
there was a Boil Water Advisory. Some residents,
or friends and family of residents, heard the news
over the radio and called, texted or posted on Facebook to spread the word. The advisory was actually
issued on November 5th when a trace of Total Coliform Bacteria was detected during a biweekly routine water test.
The presence of Total Coliform bacteria in
drinking water is not likely to cause illness itself according to health experts, but their presence indicates that your water supply may be vulnerable to
contamination by more harmful microorganisms.
Luckily, through a process of extensive testing,
there have been no indications of the harmful presence of the dreaded E.coli bacteria strain 0157:H7
which may cause illness. However, residents are
still advised to bring all water to a rolling boil for
at least one minute before using it for, drinking, ice
making, beverage preparation (such as infant formula), preparing food and brushing teeth, until the
advisory has been lifted. The Advisory remained in
place until there are at least two negative tests results, which came on Tuesday, November 10th.
Minto Odanah CAO Aaren Robertson mentioned the water advisory was for the residents living south of the Uncle Toms reservoir, not the Town
of Minnedosa, as may have been misinterpreted in
the Public Notice issued by Manitoba Conservation
and Water Stewardship. Robertson assured me they
were working on the issue as we spoke and the water was hoped to be safe to drink shortly. A second
test on Tuesday found the Odanah water to meet all
necessary requirments and as a result the boil water advisory was lifted.
This is the first time Minto-Odanah has ever
had a Boil Water Advisory so there is no system in
place currently to notify residents quickly of dangers such as this. This emergency has prompted
the municipality to come up with a solution in the
event something like this ever occurs again.

This years first snowfall last Friday morning followed tradition when the seasonal change in
road conditions caused problems for some drivers sending them careening into the ditch.
Local emergency responders attended two incidents within ten minutes of each other.
By JEFF PEARSON

n the morning of Friday, November 6th,

the Minnedosa area received its first unwanted
visit from Old Man Winter,
sending a couple of unprepared drivers spinning
hopelessly into the ditch.
According
to
Minnedosa Deputy Fire
Chief Mike Kowal, the
first 911 call came in at

9:29 a.m. as a truck had

lost control and tried unsuccessfully to jump the
guard rail approximately
20kms north of Minnedosa on Highway #10. Not
even ten minutes had
passed as emergency vehicles were rushing to
the scene, when Old Man
Winter struck again sending a van for an all-inclusive vacation to the ditch
just a half-mile north of

the first accident scene.

Luckily, no one was injured, just some costly
repair bills and frustrated
drivers. Mr. Winter was
unavailable for comment,
but did mention he would
return soon with many
more special ditch packages for unprepared drivers.
On a serious note,
emergency personnel do
caution drivers to slow

down and please, for the

sake of us all, drive for
the conditions. These accidents were completely
avoidable and very fortunate to have no injuries or
fatalities. We all like to get
behind the wheel knowing we can arrive safely at
our destination, so please
allow more time for your
commute.

A Conversation With MCIs New Prinicpal

After seven years of teaching at Minnedosa Collegiate, Mr. Bryce Ridgen

assumed a new role as the schools prinicpal this school year.

offe

he start of the new

school year opened a
new chapter for a familiar face to MCI students,
as Bryce Ridgen took the
reigns from Martin Ingenmey, as Principal of our local high school. Mr. Ridgen
started with the Minnedosa Collegiate in October of
2008 initially hired to cover
a maternity leave, which
later transitioned into a
full time career. Bryce has
taught Grades 9 to 12 in
math, history and social,
over his seven-year teaching career with MCI.
On November 4th, I
had the privilege of sitting down with the new
Principal and learn of all
the wonderful opportunities students have before
them. Technology is continually enhancing the way
we gather information and
process it, and MCI has
embraced this shift. Our
highschool is a One to One
School which means every student has their own
Tech Device such as a Laptop or iPad Mr. Ridgen
explained, which allows
them the tools necessary to
navigate this ever changing
media and opens the door

to help students learn at a

higher level. Students are
taught to sift through the
mountains of information
at their fingertips and find
accurate reliable sources.
Teachers then train the
students to synthesize the
information helping them
form their own opinions
and apply these concepts
to real world situations. It
is exciting to see the work
students are capable of,
Mr. Ridgen added, when
they are inspired to learn
at a higher level.
High school students
are also very fortunate to
have a wide array of different extra-curricular activities they can participate
in, depending on their interests. Bryce mentioned,
even though we are a
smaller school the amount
of extra-curricular programs and sports, is a real
testament to the commitment of the teaching staff
volunteering their hours
after school. Along with
the many sports teams
students can participate
in such as baseball, basketball, rugby, hockey and
volleyball to name a few,
there are different clubs.
CHANGE is a club
run by students interested

or our tea selection.

in making a difference,
Mr. Ridgen commented,
they do a lot of philanthropic work, raise money
for local and international
projects as well as a ton of
involvement in our local
community. MCI is very
proud of the work they do,
not just because of the numerous awards they have
received, but the best thing
about CHANGE is that students are not doing it for
recognition, but because
it is the right thing to do.
These students are learning valuable life lessons
because the club promotes
social justice and equality.
Students graduate with
a good moral awareness
and respect for others.
Mr. Ridgen also added,
the club is excellent, especially in a rural setting,
because by getting the
students engaged in the
community the more connected they will stay to the
community. Some of the
other clubs students can
get involved with are the
Eco Club, which promotes
sustainability through the
school and community,
TADD, which promotes
smart driving choices and
stands for Teens Against
Distracted Driving, and
the Drama Club allows
students to pursue their
passion for acting.
Mr. Ridgen is enjoying
his transition to Principal
and looks forward to working with the teachers and
staff to create graduates
who have the knowledge,
skills and values that empower them to contribute
positively and meaningfully in an ever changing local
and global community.

Rockin the Fields Gives Back To Community

Over $28,000
Presented This Year
By JEFF PEARSON

low and steady growth keeps the annual Rockin

the Fields of Minnedosa festival rolling into the future! Helping our local community by not only giving
back a good portion of the proceeds to service groups,
but the festival also generates a tremendous amount
of consumers for local businesses. Attracting concertgoers from far and wide, the RFM has gained local,
provincial and national recognition as a fans favourite
festival. In 2011 Tourism Westman presented the organizers with the Tourism Partnership Award. Competing with over 600 festivals, the RFM has won the Top
Festival in Manitoba in the WestJet Fun Festival series
two years in a row, as well as the third favorite festival
in Canada for 2013.
Since its inception, Darcy Bialas, RFM President,

estimates the festival has generated approximately
$350,000 for local service clubs. Darcy also added,

as many as 2,000 fans go through the gates every day.
The RFM organizers are happy with the pace of the

The key to the events success is setting a budget and
staying within it every year.

Living in
Paradise
By

VERN MAY

EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC

think Ill die in Minnedosa. For those encouraged

by this statement, that it means I see a long future
with plenty of community engagement until I reach
a ripe old age and a peaceful end Im sorry to shatter
that image for you. No, I envision that the cover story
in The Tribune will read: PEDESTRIAN STRUCK IN
CROSS WALK. A pedestrian was struck in the southbound lane on Main Street just seconds after leaving
his office.
It is a perplexing situation for me. In the nine
months that I have lived in Minnedosa, I have come
close to being struck by vehicles while traversing
the marked cross walk more than one dozen times,
including twice this week. Just prior to sitting down
to write this column, I stepped out to run an errand
and watched as the vehicle in the curb lane stopped,
so I proceeded and was about to step into the median lane as a jeep (exceeding the posted limit) tore
down the road, screeched to a near halt fully inside
the crosswalk, then shrugged as if to say sorry its too
late for me to do this properly and kept on driving.
I should mention that while I fancy myself as having a rather quick wit and sometimes a tongue that
operates faster than my judgment, Im not moving at
breakneck speeds out there on my feet. With a spinal
fusion earlier this year, I measure my steps carefully
and dont make any sudden or spontaneous leaps
into the roadway.
I was perhaps most angry about this predicament
when crossing the street with my four-year-old son
earlier this year. A car roared through the intersection from the north side of the cenotaph, and breezed

by us in the middle of the street close enough that

I could touch the car as it whizzed by. I cant share
with you in the pages of this fine publication my exclamation in the street that day, but I was at a loss
when my youngster asked me what that meant. I suspect that if the driver and I had spoken in the grocery
store parking lot moments later where I encountered
her vehicle, that may have been coffee shop fodder
for a while.
Th e crosswalks in our town are painted twice per
season by the Highways Department, and were just
recently done since the school year began. There is
a large crosswalk sign on the boulevard to demarcate
that location as safe for those enjoying our downtown
on foot. Perhaps we need to take a step further to embolden our signage perhaps a flashing speed indicator like we see at Forrest to remind drivers of the
posted limit vs. the speed they elect to travel along
(what should be) a very pedestrian-friendly route.
Th e great thing about the electronic signage, as
I have seen installed in other communities, is that it
not only displays the speed of vehicles but also tracks
the data. We can know the speed of travellers, the
volume of traffic throughout the day and more analytics that we can share with our local traffic enforcement professionals. If theres a particular day of the
week or time of the day that most of this happens, we
may be able to allocate a resource to do some targeted enforcement. Do we need to consider some photo
radar? Perhaps when the impact of drivers actions
starts making a dent in their pocket book, we can affect some real change. Better a dent in someones
bank account than someones family.
On this topic an ounce of prevention equals a
pound of cure. Until next week, Im sure my family
would be most grateful if you dont run me over in the
street.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk. You can find me under the
Discover Minnedosa banner at 39 Main Street, reach
me by email at edo@minnedosa.com, call me at 204867-3885, or keep up with the action on Facebook.

Friends Hope To Save Nedrob School

By DARRYL HOLYK

n mid-July, the Municiplaity of Erickson-Clanwilliam hosted a public

meeting to discuss the
future of the two old museum buildings located on
the recreation grounds.
The buildings, inlculding the original St, Judes
Roman Catholic Church
and Nedrob School have
fallen into a grave state of
disrepair. A few years ago,
a third building at the site,
the log manse from Scandinavia Lutheran was demolished as it was deemed
no longer structurally safe.
With virtually no interest in
the buildings at the public
meeting, and as they had
also been deemed a danger to the public, council
had moved toward demolishing the old church and
school to cleanup the site.
Since that time, a
group of concerned citizens have banded to-

gether to try and rescue

Nedrob School from demolition. Calling themselves Friends of Nedrob
School the group is investigating the possibility or
restoring the schoolhouse
to its former glory. The
group met with the municipal council on October
28th and were successful in having council pass
a resolution to postpone
the destruction of Nedrob
School from the end of October 2015 to August 16th,
2016.
At some point in the
near future, a public meeting will be called to discuss
the estimated costs and a
proposed possible relocation of the schoolhouse
from its current site.
Th e schools beginning dates back to February 1914 when a group
of ratepayers presented
a petition to Council requesting a school to accommodate the growing

population of children in
the area. Four years later,
the Nedrob School District No. 1934 was established, the name being the
reverse spelling of Prime
Minister Robert Bordens
last name. The school was
built on section 25-18-18W
and opened for classes
in September 1919. Miss
Pearl Pockett was the first
teacher with an opening
year enrollment of eleven
students.
Th e school successfully served the district
until 1945 when dwindling
school attendance forced
its closure in 1945. However, this was not the end for
Nedrob School and in 1960
it re-opened with Harold
Gilleshammer as teacher.
Enrollment for reopening
year was eight students.
The school remained open
for a few more years before
closing for the final time at
the end of the 1964 school
term.

Blazing Sea Cans

By JEFF PEARSON

Photo by Jeff Pearson

s a part of their rigorous on-going training,

our local volunteer firefi ghters routinely practice
for real life disasters. The
evening of Tuesday, November 3rd was a chilly
one outside, but a real
cooker was broiling up inside a Sea Can purposely
set a blaze in Minnedosas
Industrial Park. Now if you
think your oven gets hot,
try baking your cookies in
this flaming inferno! With
temperatures inside ranging between 350 degrees
on the fl oor to a blistering 1100 degrees near the
ceiling even the Pillsbury
Doughboy would be instantly cremated.
Unfortunately, fi re is
no laughing matter and its
nature is very unpredictable and dangerous, which
is why our firefighters
must continually practice
and learn new skills. Under the experienced guidance of Richard Brown,
Training Co-ordinator for
South Central Mutual Aid

Photo by Jeff Pearson

and Captain of the Rivers

Fire Department, students
wearing state-of-the-art
fi re resistant clothing and
equipment, must enter
the blazing classroom to
learn how to extinguish
this powerful, unforgiving
destructive force of nature.
Firefi ghters spend many
hours learning textbook
theory, but nothing compares to this hot practical experience they must

endure. Strategies such as

fire control, fire attack, fire
behavior and many unique
methods of venting are
practiced in a real-life setting.
Unlike most jobs,
training to be a firefighter
has many real dangers in
these heated classrooms. If
students are not extremely
careful and safety minded
the consequences could be
disastrous. In such intense

15112de0

heat they must crawl along

the fl oor to avoid melting
their helmets. Needless to
say if they have a question
they defi nitely dont raise
their hand as the temperature rises dramatically just
inches off the floor. Some
of the members present
recalled situations in the
past where their visors had
actually started to melt because of the extreme heat.

Minor Hockey Report

Bantam Bombers
By LAURA GOOD

n Saturday, November
7th the Minnedosa
Bantam Bombers saw action in Elkhorn. The game
was looking like it would
not be in the Bombers favour as near the end of the
third period, the Bombers
were down 3-0. Then, on
a four-minute penalty with
only 30 seconds remaining in the penalty (and 2:09
minutes left in the game)
Andy Peckover scored with
assists from Liam Bach-

ewich and Devon Beatty.

This spurred the Bombers
into action.
Th e coach decided
to pull the goalie, giving
the Bombers a man advantage. From the blue
line, Graham Bailey let a
shot go and scored with
only 1:40 remaining in the
game. After the faceoff,
the goalie was pulled again
and in a TSN highlight moment, Konlyn Nemetchuk
was gone down the ice on
a break-away. The shot
was re-bounded and Wade
Waskell was there to score
and tie the game with only

0.4 seconds left!

Three goals in the last
two minutes of play the
game ended tied at three.
Garon Blanchard played a
strong game in net. Great
game Bombers you never
quit until the final buzzer!
Th e following day,
Sunday, November 8th,
the Bombers saw home ice
action against the Neepawa Natives. Bombers were
fi rst to open up the scoring and ended the first
period up 2-0. Neepawa
answered back in the second with a goal and again
in third to tie things up at

two. The Bombers played

hard and had many shots,
but could not find the back
of the net. The scored ended tied at two. Konlyn Nemetchuk 1G, Devon Beatty
1G, and assists to Erik Barrett and Carter Hedley.
The Bombers will see
action tomorrow (Saturday, November 14th) in
Rivers. Go Bombers!

ON THE FARM
By ELMER KASKIW

he above normal temperatures

through
much of early November
has kept soils from freezing and has resulted in the
nutrient ban that is typically implemented on November 10th to now be extended to November 14th.
Without a variance from
Manitoba
Conservation
and Water Stewardship the
standard ban would have
begun on November 10th
and would have stayed in
place till April 10th of next
year. These restrictions are
designed to ensure nutrients are not applied to
frozen soils where they become susceptible to runoff
thereby reducing nutrient
loading into our waterways and lakes.
Th ese extended frost
free periods that run into
mid and late November
are certainly beneficial to
our soils in regards to con-

tinued microbial breakdown and mineralization

of organic matter. These so
called open falls have led
researchers to investigate
more closely what is actually happening within our
soils during the shoulder
months of our winter. In
essence the question becomes Do our soils sleep
during the winter months.
Certainly it would be logical to assume that our soils
are essentially dead or are
at least in a deep coma
during our winter months
given the sub zero soil
temperatures. Recent research indicates that biological activity does indeed
continue during at least a
portion of our winters depending upon snow cover
and depth of frost with
the majority of this activity likely occurring in early
winter and early spring depending upon freeze/thaw
cycles.
What this research

has found is that as temperatures cool to freezing

there is a shift in microbial
populations or communities from summer to winter
and that these winter microbes continue to grow
in frozen soils but only at
a much slower rate. The
mechanism for this activity seems to revolve around
an increase in the composition of unsaturated fatty
acids and in the production of glycerol within the
lipid membranes of these
microbes. Glycerol is best
known as an antifreeze
medium but can also
serve as a food source for
some of these microbes.
Th e two measurements
that are used to indicate
microbial activity in frozen soils revolve around
the measurement of carbon dioxide levels from
the breakdown of organic
matter and in the release
of nitrous oxide as a result
of denitrification.

The rate of winter soil

respiration will vary depending upon snow cover, soil moisture and the
number of freeze/thaw
cycles. Standing stubble
with adequate soil moisture and good early snow
cover prior to deep freezes
can see soil temperatures
remain relatively stable in
the -5 to 10 degree Celsius range for much of the
winter. Soil temperature
probes placed this fall into
seeded winter wheat fields
in South Parkland have
found the average soil temperature in November to
be somewhere around two
to four-and-a-half degrees
Celsius. This gradual cooling of soil temperatures are
ideal for the shift in microbial populations allowing
them to become more easily accustomed to cooler
soil temperatures.
Th e food source for
these cold soil microbes
can be found in the form

of intact root systems that

have gone through a cold
hardening process. Under fi eld conditions cold
hardened root systems
can have a sucrose content
which is eight times higher
during fall and winter than
that measured during the
spring and summer. This
was particularly evident
this fall by the leaf colour
change that saw many
trees and shrubs turn their
leaves from green to brilliant red, orange and yellows indicating high sugar
content within the leaves
of these trees. This food
source along with more
moderate winter soil temperatures and more frequent freeze/thaw cycles
will increase the level of
winter microbial activity
and ultimately impact the
level of nutrients available
for spring growth. This
winter microbial activity
is likely why we see winter crops and fall planted

shrubs, trees and perennials get such a jump on

spring growth when compared to being spring
planted. These fall plantings see an accumulation
of nutrients in close proximity to their root systems
as a result of this winter
microbial activity allowing
these fall plantings to have
immediate access to these
nutrients once soils warm
in the spring.
This information certainly puts a renewed emphasis on being able to
regulate winter soil temperatures at levels which
will help maximize winter soil microbial activity.
Moderating soil temperatures and increasing the
level of freeze thaw cycles
at the front and back end
of our lengthy winters by
even 60 to 90 days can have
a significant impact on the
level of nutrients available for our relatively short
growing season.

In Loving Memory of
LORNE EARL COOPER
JANUARY 20TH, 1935NOVEMBER 8TH, 2010
Five years ago you left us,
to go see the unknown.
Four years, two months later,
our son went to find you,
and hopefully bring
you home.
If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
Id walk up to heaven,
and bring you home again.
Missing you is the heartache,
that never goes away.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day.
Always loved and
forever missed,
your wife of 42 years,
Shirley.

Dear Reena,
I have squirrels in
my carport that are eating
the cars wiring. Can you
suggest a remedy (thats
safe for the squirrels)?The
one suggestion Ive gotten
is to spray the motor with
diluted hot sauce. Monica
Dear Monica,
Many people have
spent thousands of dollars
on vehicle wire repair only
to have squirrels picnic
in their vehicle once
again. The most effective
repellent for squirrels is
not 100% full-proof but
definitely worth a shot. If
you choose this option;
spray the perimeter of the
vehicle with a substance
such as bitter apple spray
which is found in most pet
stores or vet offices. Sprays
are one option but need
to be re-applied regularly.
Take caution not to spray
the solution directly on
your vehicle. Other options
include: pepper spray
or Febreeze. If you are
desperate and dont want
the hassle of having to
remind yourself to spray;
make a frame of wood and
chicken wire to cover the
motor compartment of
your vehicle whenever not
in use.
Dear Reena,
I would like to
know how to get mothball
odor out of clothing.
Marilyn
Dear Marilyn,
This solution is
fast, easy and best of all

cheap. Soak the clothes in

50/50 white vinegar and
water. Leave for one hour
and wash as usual. Hang
outside to dry, the smell of
vinegar and mothballs will
disappear right before her
nose.
Dear Reena,
How can I remove
the brown heat stains from
the glass and metal on my
toaster oven? It still works
very well but looks terrible.
Carol
Dear Carol,
Unplug the toaster
oven and pour household
ammonia onto stained
areas. Let ammonia sit for
10 minutes. Using water
and dish soap, wet an
abrasive green pad. Scrub
all marked areas. Rinse off
all ammonia with water,
your toaster will look
brand new.
Dear Reena,
Can you please
supply me with an easy
recipe for liquid hand
soap? s Linda
Dear Linda,
Here is a recipe
that uses easy to find
products. Grate one bar
of Ivory Bar Soap. Boil
8 cups of water. Stir in
grated soap on medium
heat until it melts. Add
one tbsp. glycerin (found
in pharmacies). Remove
from heat. Place the lid on
the pot. Stir the soap every
few hours for about 12
hours. Store soap in a good
quality soap dispenser.

Newdale Cenotaph.

UP TO

arlier this year, the War

memorial at Newdale
underwent some maintenance. The bronze plaque
listing the names of fallen
Newdale war heroes was
cleaned and a new fence
was placed around the
cenotaph. A special addition was also made to the
War Memorial by adding
a small plaque honouring
RCAF Flying Officer, David
Bradley.
A special unveiling of
this plaque and rededication of the war memorial
was held this past Sunday
during the Newdale United
Churchs
Remembrance
service. Following the
church service, about 60
people gathered at the War
Memorial on Newdales
Main Street followed by
lunch and a wartime singalong at the Dropin Centre.

F/O David Bradley.

David Eldred Bradley
was born on October 16,
1933, the eldest son of Carl
and Lexa Bradley. David received his schooling at Penrith and Newdale Schools.
As a member of the Strathclair Cadet Squadron, David was awarded a scholarship to obtain his private
pilots license which he
successfully obtained from
the Brandon Flying Club
at the age of 16. Following high school, David
joined the Royal Canadian
Air Force and took training as a jet fi ghter pilot at
various airfi elds across the
country. David did tours of
duty in England, Germany,
Rabat, Africa and France.
Tragically, on August 20th,
1956, while testing a F86
plane Flight Officer Bradley was killed in a crash

who was killed in service in 1956.
just two months shy of his
23rd birthday. David never
returned home and was
laid to rest in the Post War
RCAF Cemetery in Choloy,
France.
While his sacrifi
ce has
always been remembered
by family and residents
of the Newdale area, until
now, his name has never
been memorialized on the

community cenotaph.
The recent upgrades to
the cenotaph and addition
of a plaque of honour for
David Bradley were made
possible through the Newdale Community Historical Society with funding
from the proceeds of the
Newdale history book and
the 125 homecoming celebration.
