Restoring The Wheel
By DARRYL HOLYK

T he wooden waterwheel
located at the north
end of the Trout Pond at
the Minnedosa Heritage
Village has been a popu-
lar attraction for a number
of years. The handsome,
Gold Medal hand-crafted waterwheel
was installed at the local

for Peewees museum grounds almost

20 years ago.
Constructed of tama-
rack wood by Gallus Ober-
holzer of Erickson, the
waterwheel was donated
as a tourist attraction for
the community by the now
defunct Minnedosa Heri-
tage Foundation in August
2001.
Over the years, local

A four-hour session enti-

tled, “An Introduction
to Community Economic
Development (CED)”, was
hosted at the Sanderson
Room of the Minnedosa
Community Conference
Centre on Monday, Janu-
ary 27th. One dozen par-
ticipates, including local
municipal staff and lead-
ers, Minnedosa and Area
Community Development
Corporation (CDC) board
members and local busi-
ness owners attended
the session facilitated by
Neepawa’s Economic De-
velopment Officer, Mari-
lyn Crewe. The session
focussed on the basics as
outlined in Module One
of Manitoba’s Community
Economic Development
Certification Program,
Community Edge.
The session came at a
time that the Minnedosa
and Area CDC is under-
going somewhat of a re-
structuring to determine
how to best move forward
with the best interest of the
tion we want to go,” stated
Town Councillor and CDC
Chairman, Jim Dowsett.
Some of the topics
covered during the ses-
sion included defining
community economic de-
velopment, reading and
using community data, as-
sessing your community,
the different structures of
Economic Development,
the required skills and job
description of an Econom-
ic Development Officer
(EDO), setting goals and
priorities for your commu-
nity and how to measure
the outcomes.
A valuable message
from the session was that a
community does not need
the expertise of outsiders
who are not familiar with
your community to tell you
what is best for your com-
munity or what your com-
munity needs. Such ideas
should be generated with-
in your community from
the people who live and
work in your community.
Each community is unique
hand, sometimes these as-
sets can create struggles
such as the current con-
cerns regarding the condi-
tion of our lake.
For successful eco-
nomic development, you
have to understand your
community, its focus and
what it truly needs. Just
because a neighbouring
community recently at-
tracted a certain new busi-
ness or attraction does
not mean your commu-
nity needs that same thing
to be successful. A local
example would be last
year’s addition of Splish
Splash Inflatable Water
Park to Minnedosa’s tour-
ism/business community.

for Minnedosa, because of
our lake, it would be point-

nity Economic Develop-
ment to succeed there
has to be co-operation
between a number of
partners such as the vari-
ous levels of government
(municipal, provincial and
federal), local champi-
ons (community minded
people to bring ideas forth
and help achieve goals), a
Community Development
Corporation (CDC) and an
Economic Development
Officer (EDO).
Throughout the ses-
sion, there were a number
of individual and group
brainstorming and hands-
on exercises. One of these
focussed on proving how
much you can determine
about a community just
from statistical data. For
this exercise, participants
were divided into three
groups and each group
community. Information
included a population
breakdown for various age
groups and the popula-
tion changes between the
2011 and 2016 Canadian
Census. Also provided was
a percentage breakdown
of the economic/business
makeup of the commu-
nity. From this basic data,
participants learned that
they could determine a
great deal about a commu-
nity such as whether it was
a growing or dying com-
munity and what strengths
and weaknesses it had in
its business and tourism
sectors.
Another exercise
asked each participant to
rate where he/she felt our
local community was cur-
rently at on a four phase
scale ranging from a Chaos
phase to an Actualization
currently somewhat in the
middle balancing between
an emergence/struggling
phase and a vision/plan-
ning stage.
One of the final ex-
ercises of the session had
participants thinking
about where they would
like to see the community
in the months and years
ahead and to consider how
to get there and achieve
those goals?
Participants came
away from the training ses-
sion with hopefully more
knowledge and a better
understanding about eco-
nomic development and
how to put the wheels in
motion to move economic
development forward for
Minnedosa and the sur-
rounding area.

Senior Bombers…
The Minnedosa Senior Bombers have wrapped up
their regular season of play in the Tiger Hills Hockey
League. They played their final game for the regular
season in Cartwright on Friday, January 31st and un-
fortunately, suffered a 7-3 defeat. The 2019-2020 regular
season began in late October with the Bombers win-
ning their very first season game 6-3 over Gladstone.
Throughout the season, a total of 18 games were played
with the Bombers earning eight wins and suffering ten
losses.
The art of reading…
February is I Love to Read Month and a number of
special events are being held in the community at our
schools, library, etc. Reading has numerous benefits,
some of which include, keeping your mind sharp, ex-
panding your knowledge and learning new words. Read-
ing is a great way to relax and relieve stress so throughout
the next month, and all year-long, pick up a book, pam-
phlet or newspaper and enjoy the art of reading.
Dangerous drivers…
Last Friday as I was out on the road delivering The
Tribune to neighbouring communities, I found myself
wondering how some people get a driver’s license! For
those who travel our highways regularly, I am sure you
have seen some strange and dangerous driving habits
out there. During my recent travels, I had three encoun-
ters, all along the stretch of highway between Minnedosa
and Neepawa. First, a truck raced passed me on double
solid lines (which you are not supposed to do in case you
did not know), then a car flew by me just metres before
we entered a passing lane zone and then pulled in and
cut me off in the far right passing lane and the final one
was a car pulling out to pass me while there was oncom-
ing traffic which nearly caused a head-on collision. My
apologies to these three drivers for holding them up by
obeying the speed limit and driving with some common
sense! However, there was one bright point to my trip as
I saw an RCMP officer pull over a speeding truck along
that stretch of highway. Be safe out there – it’s a little cra-
zy at times!

Good Food is Grown Close to Home
Canada’s Agriculture Day February 11th
SUBMITTED
C anadian consumers are only one step removed from
the people who produce most of the food that lands
on their dinner tables, according to Farm Credit Canada’s
(FCC) director of Industry and Stakeholder Relations.
“Many consumers would be surprised to learn that
the safest and highest-quality food is grown only a few
kilometres from the city where they live, or processed
and distributed in a plant that employs their friends and
neighbours,” said Marty Seymour, who also oversees
Canada’s Agriculture Day (February 11th, 2020) on behalf
of FCC.
  “There’s actually only one degree of separation be-
tween consumers and the people who produce their
food,” he said. “But in our fast-paced urban environ-
ments, we sometimes lose sight of that fact.”
  A recent survey by the Canadian Centre for Food
Integrity showed three-in-five Canadians have an inter-
est in learning more about agriculture and modern farm
practices.
  “There’s a strong and growing appetite among con-
sumers to learn more about the food they buy and they
want information straight from the individuals who grow
it,” said Seymour, adding farmers are viewed the most
favourably – ahead of health professionals, scientific re-
searchers and government officials – in providing infor-
mation about food and food production. “If you can’t talk
directly to a farmer, the next time you’re in a grocery store
look at the labels to find out where the main ingredients
come from and where it was processed.”
  By choosing to buy Canadian-produced food and
food products, consumers are supporting the local and
Canadian economies.
  In 2018, Canada’s food and beverage manufacturing
sector – which includes activities, such as meat and dairy
processing, grain and oilseed milling, and fruit and veg-
etable preserving – produced goods valued at over $117
billion, accounting for almost two per cent of the national
gross domestic product (GDP) and roughly 250,000 jobs
nation-wide, many in rural and agricultural areas.
From Fashion House to The Office
L ast year, the building at
65 Main Street South un-
derwent a major renovation
transforming it from a former
ladies clothing retail space to a
modern office and professional
centre.
Some time ago, the familiar
signage of the building’s long-
time occupant, “The Fashion
House”, was removed and last
week brand new signage for
“The Office - Business Suites”
was installed.

  The sector has been growing at an average of three
per cent over the past five years, a full one per cent stron-
ger than Canada’s overall manufacturing sector (average
1.9 per cent) over the same period.
  To keep the agriculture and food sector growing, Ca-
nadian producers and processors need to stay on top of
the latest consumer food trends, at home and abroad, in
order to meet consumer demand and develop new mar-
kets for their products.
  “Whether you are growing, processing or distribut-
ing food, you need to keep your finger on the pulse of the
consumer,” Faulkner said. “The more informed they are
about how food is grown and processed, the better. At the
same time, consumers provide us with valuable insights
on how food preferences are changing, so our growers
can better meet their needs. It’s very much a close, two-
way relationship.”
  The fourth anniversary of Canada’s Agriculture Day
will focus on strengthening that relationship between
consumers and producers who share a common appre-
ciation and sense of pride that comes from buying food
grown or processed on Canadian soil, Seymour said.
  “Conversations on Canada’s Agriculture Day and
throughout the year are important for building trust be-
tween consumers and the people who grow and process
the food we eat,” Seymour said. “The stronger that con-
nection becomes, the more likely consumers will choose
Canadian products offered on the grocery store shelf.”
  “While there’s a strong economic argument for sup-
porting Canadian agriculture, we should also be driven
by a strong sense of pride,” he said. “Let’s show our pride
and appreciation for Canadian growers and the work
they do by buying Canadian food and food products
whenever possible.”
  If you’re unable to participate in one of the many
events and activities planned for Canada’s Agriculture
Day across the country, you can join the fun by making
a meal with your family using all Canadian ingredients,
snapping a photo of you raising your fork to Canadian ag-
riculture then sharing it on social media using #CdnAg-
Day.

Minnedosa Fire De-
partment has been using
an old derelict brick house
in the village of Bethany for

L ast week, representa-
tives from Minnedosa
UCT, Rotary and Lions
presented the proceeds
from their recent pie and
dessert auction to Central
Plains Cancer Services
(CPCS).
The three local service
groups joined together
earlier this year to hold
a fundraising auction in
support of CPCS in order
for local residents to be
able to continue using the
many valuable services
offered to cancer patients
and their families.
Once all expenses
were paid, the UCT, Rotary
and Lions realized a grand
total of $7,419 which they
proudly presented to Cen-
tral Plains Cancer Services
Executive Director, Shari-
lyn Knox.
Many cancer patients
and their families in the
Minnedosa area benefit
from the variety of services
offered through Central
Plains Cancer Care. While
one of the most popular
aspects is the transporta-
tion program providing
drivers to get patients to
and from their cancer-
related medical appoint-
ments, CPCS also provides

Newdale News Valentine’s Day Doesn’t

SUBMITTED

E ric Henke lived in the

Jack Dalgarno house
while living in Newdale,
not the Jack Waddell house
as reported last week.
Birthday wishes are
vourites. Kudos to this tal-
ented group of 50+ singing
voices for their dedication
each year in presenting the
audiences with such mem-
orable musical evenings.

being sent to two former
residents; Bob Jones of
Sandy Hook, MB and Mar-
ion Brown of Sooke, BC.
We hope they both had a
wonderful day!
Congratulations to
the rink skipped by Lucas
Pedersen who took second
in the First Event at the
Strathclair Bonspiel held
in January. Great curling
fellows! And to former
Newdale resident, Brian
Tolton, and his rink of Ha-
miota who won the First
Event in Shoal Lake Men’s
Bonspiel a week ago. Brian
had his son, Ryan, playing
with him at this bonspiel.
A wonderful evening
of music was held at the
Strathclair Hall on Febru-
ary 1st when the Strath-
clair Dinner Chorus pre-
sented their last seasonal
performance of “Disney
Dazzle”! All the music
was taken from the many
Disney movies, from re-
cent ones like Frozen and
Tangled to Cinderella and

then warm spinach snacks
followed by a strawberry
parfait. And a beautiful
warm February evening to
boot!
Hope everyone that
took in the Scotties curling
in Rivers had the team they
were cheering for win it all!
Two of the best women’s
rinks in Canada curled in
the final, Jennifer Jones
against Kerri Einarson and
the Manitoba representa-
tive is (drum roll), Kerri
Einarson, which makes
Manitoba one of the favou-
rite’s to win the Canadian
Women’s Championship
coming up soon. If you
weren’t on the edge of your
seat all game you probably
weren’t watching!
With the Super Bowl
last weekend, curling from
Rivers and musical enter-
tainment locally, what a
choice we all had.
Elgin Hall took the
Sunday morning service in
town and we enjoyed our
visit with him over coffee
beforehand.
The day , often thought
of as a day of love and ro-
mance does not need to
cost you an arm and a leg.
It also doesn’t lie in the
lap of men only! Men and
women alike can spend the
time showing their partner
that they are appreciated
and wanted.
If you are searching for
some inexpensive ideas to
show your love, here is a
small sampling of things
you could do come next
Friday. Remember to be
experimental, imaginative
and just stop sweating the
small stuff… love doesn’t
have to empty your pocket!
Bonfire – as long as
the weather isn’t atrocious,
start up a nice bonfire in
the backyard. Pair it with
some yummy hot choco-
late, throw on the winter
clothes and cuddle up by a
nice fire.
Chocolates - make
your own homemade
chocolates. Whether you
take a class together or
do it together at home, let
your creative juices fly.
Then you can spend the
evening sampling your
creations together.
Ice Skating/Skiing –
Spend some time outside
being active and working
up a sweat and then return
home together and warm
each other up.
Tour your favourite
places – make a scavenger
hunt for your partner with
a listing of significant and
memorable places from
your relationship. Include
things like your first kiss
location, your favourite
coffee shop, first date, the
first time you said “I Love
You”.
Movie Night – set up
an intimate setting in the
living room, set the lights
on low, have plenty of pil-
and cuddle up watching a
good movie you will both
enjoy.
Make Supper To-
gether – rather than one
person in the kitchen cre-
ating a feast, do it together.
Make it fun and special
and create something you
have never tried before or
maybe a tried and true fa-
vourite. Don’t forget once
it’s all done to clean up to-
gether to.
Massages – what a
better way to relax than to
have a couples massage or
one partner massage the
other. Spend some time
relaxing, working out the
stress of the day and then
follow it up with a glass of
your favourite drink and
Love Notes – start the
day by leaving love notes
around the house for your
partner. Put a note in his/
her work bag or jacket,
send a text throughout the
day. Set the stage for later
in the evening by remind-
ing them they are wanted
and loved.
Whatever it is you
choose to do to celebrate
the love you have for your
partner, make it personal
and special for you. Choose
things that make an impact
on you and your love and
stop trying to put so much
pressure on yourself. Love
is something that should
be done every day, in little
ways, keeping sparks alive.
It’s not just a one time a
year event. Have fun with
it.
