n Saturday, August
13th,
Minnedosa
held its fi rst ever Valley Fun Colour Run. The
event began at 11 a.m. and
the Rockin the Fields site
served as the start and end
points of the race.
Although fi nal totals
have yet to be announced,
over 200 people participated in the event; including Vern May, one of the
main organizers, who described his participation
as unwitting.
Because I was one
of the organizers, I wasnt
signed up to run, said
May. But somehow I
managed to get shot. I
think its one of the perils
of volunteering with your
spouse.
By all accounts the
event was a success and
enjoyed by both volunteers and participants.
Following the completion
of the race, people lingered around the site congratulating one another
and enjoying the warm
afternoon. A snack shack
was open serving lunch,
as music was played and
individuals continued to
spray one another with
paint.
I think from our perspective we were very
happy with the event I
think in terms of expectations, we didnt really have
any. Being the first time
we had done an event,

One of the greatest surprises of the day was that
the event was not just fun
for the participants, but it
was also fun for the volunteers. When you get to the

end of the day, particularly

when its a social or any
kind of event like that, the
volunteers are drained and
thinking thank God thats
over, explained May. But
in this case the event was
very light-hearted, fun and

by all ages. It was as much
fun to be a volunteer and
organizer, as a participant
running the course.
Joyce Scantlebury of
Brandon came out for the
event as one of the su-

pervisors of a Girls Guide

group that participated in
the run. Although she had
heard of colour runs before, she had never before
taken part in one.

is set to turn into one
of the many successful
and popular events that
Minnedosa holds annually. May said that following the event the organizers werent talking about
whether or not the event
would be held again, but
what they could do next
year.
I think one of
the great things about
Minnedosa is that weve
got such a diverse geography, said May. So this
year using the Rockin
the Fields site as the start
and end point was great

and taking people down

to the beach and through
the trails was good, but I
think one of the exciting
possibilities is that we can
move this event around
and showcase so much of
what the community has
to offer.
For an event like this
to be successful, it takes
more than just a committee attending meetings
and doing the organizing
on event day. There are so
many people that are involved behind the scenes
and it really doesnt happen without a team effort.

West Nile Virus Baseball Camp For Young Players

Still A Concern
Manitobans are
urged to take
precautions against
mosquitoes to reduce
the risk of being
infected with
West Nile Virus.
By RYAN THORPE

n August 12th the

Manitoba
Government released their second
West Nile Virus (WNV)
update of the summer, reporting this years first human case of West Nile Virus has been detected.
The individual infected is a male in his forties
from the Southern HealthSant Sud region, who has
been hospitalized after
experiencing neurological
symptoms.
Authorities believe the
man was exposed during
the week of July 17th, although the investigation is
ongoing.

Nile Virus currently describe the risk for human

exposure as moderate.
This is a high-risk period
for West Nile Virus activity
in Manitoba. Historically,
it is during late July and
August that most human
cases have been recorded.
The main carrier of
West Nile Virus in Manitoba is the Culex tarsalis
mosquito, which thrives
in warm weather. The first
carrier mosquitos infected
with West Nile Virus were
found during the week of
July 17th.
Manitobans can reduce the risk of West Nile
Virus by wearing lightcoloured,
loose-fitting
clothing, using appropriate mosquito repellent,
maintaining door and window screens and removing
standing water from their
homes and properties.
Information regarding future human cases,
including health region of
residence, as well as additional information on
WNV in Manitoba, can be
found on the Manitoba
Governments website.

Minor
Baseball hosted a
weeklong baseball camp
between Monday, August 8th and Friday, August 12th, focused on skill
development and game
strategy.
I think theyre (the
kids) having a great time,
said Barbara Gilleshammer, a representative of
Minnedosa Minor Baseball. The two coaches we
have are absolutely fantastic. So its been a fun
couple days. I have two
kids in the camp and they
just thought yesterday was
the best and were eager to
get back out there today.
Its a great opportunity for the kids to be doing something they love
and Im quite grateful
that we have two coaches who have dedicated
themselves to running the
camp this week.
There are very few

baseball camps in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg

and so the camp offers local and rural players the
unique opportunity to
develop their skills and
receive instruction and
training. The camp runs
daily at the Richardson
Pioneer Field between
9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and is
open to players aged 8 to
14.
Minnedosa
Minor
Baseball hopes to organize the camp annually.
There are 13 participants
this year, coming from
communities including
Minnedosa,
Strathclair,
Neepawa, Onanole and
Brandon. The instructors
are Scott Stephenson of
Onanole and Brett Sharpe
of Minnedosa.
I love that I can walk
to the camp and have
made new friends and
learned new stuff about
baseball, said Austin Taylor, 11, of Minnedosa.

fields in Minnedosa offer

a unique opportunity to
host such an event, plus
the community itself has
all of the amenities needed to accommodate an influx of people should the
camp grow in the coming
years.
Weve been talking
about running a summer
camp for a while, said
Gilleshammer. The community has done so for
other sports, weve had
soccer camps and hockey
camps, but weve never
had a baseball camp. I
think there is definitely an
interest in one and there
arent a lot of other camps

available in Westman. We
just thought it was a great
opportunity for our community to host a camp for
baseball and were hoping that by next year were
able to double the numbers.
When you think of
what we have to offer in
our community, we have
great campgrounds and
the beach. Hopefully families that come from other
communities all come
back next year with a few
friends and we get them
camping here and spending the week in our community.

A bad debt structure,
where too much debt is
due too quickly, can lead
to cash fl ow issues and

Tornado Hits Erickson Farmyards

By MARCIE HARRISON
South Mountain Press

tornado touched
down near Erickson
on Monday, August 8th,
hitting a couple of farmyards and cutting a swath
of trees in between.
Rick Proven told CTV
that he was sitting down
to supper when he noticed
a funnel cloud forming in
the nearby valley. Rick and

his wife, Amy, managed to

get their kids and grandchildren into the basement
before the twister hit.
We hung tight for
about ten minutes and
thats all it took to do all of
this damage, he said in the
interview.
We were watching
the trees swaying and you
could hear, it was terrifying, but we were trying not
to be terrified for the kids,

said Amy.
When it was over, the
house was untouched, but
everything in the yard, including a shed, carport
and play structure, was
destroyed. And there was
nothing left of the heavy
bush on the property.
It was a diff erent story
for Dennis Tiller and his
family, whose home near
Erickson was badly damaged.

ord has been received of the passing of Bernie

Reid of Winnipeg on July 22nd. Condolences are
extended to his wife Nora and family and brother Gordon and Esther Reid of Winnipeg. Bernie was raised and
attended school in Basswood.
Deepest sympathy is extended to Margaret Kowalick and family in the passing of Peter on August 17th.
Sympathy is also extended to brothers Joe, Walter and
Elmer and their families.
Stan and Zelda Firby attended the funeral of Vivian
Howard on Friday in Neepawa. Then Saturday we attended the 65th anniversary for Ray and Joan McGillvary in Neepawa.

pressure system made its

way from Saskatchewan
into the Parkland Region
of Manitoba.
According to Environment Canada, the system
spawned three tornados
in the province one between Binscarth and Russell around 5:00 p.m., another in Waywayseecappo
just before 5:30 p.m., and
the one near Erickson just
before 6:00 p.m.

Waywayseecappo was
hardest hit with seven
homes receiving major
damage.
No injuries resulted
from the tornado near Erickson, but high winds and
hail caused property damage in the South Mountain
area, some crop lodging,
downed power lines and
plenty of fallen trees.

Flower Show Exhibitors Ages 10 to 101

By DARRYL HOLYK

he Minnedosa Horticultural Society held

another successful show
Tuesday afternoon at the
Minnedosa Community
Conference Centre. The
most recent edition of the
flower, fruit and vegetable
show saw a total of 355
entries, 35 of those were
junior class entries from
the shows four participating junior exhibitors

who were all from Newdale. Th e remaining entries were submitted by 12

adult exhibitors.
This years show featured exhibitors ranging
in age from 10 to 101 years,
with long-time Horticultural Society supporter,
Audrah Caughell entering
a number of entries in this
years show.
Judges for the show
were Joy Bradley and
Sharon
Wolstenholme
who chose to team up
to approach the difficult
task of choosing the best

arrangement from the

large number of colourful, floral designs. Joy and
Sharon both commented
on the high quality of the
exhibits featured in this
years show. A flower arranging workshop held
earlier in the year seems
to have brought out more
creative skills by exhibitors as this years entries
were top-notch, some
with very unique design.
Some of the notable
award winners include Diana McBratney who won
Best Floral Arrangement
and Best Flowering Plant.
Albert Parsons received
recognition for Best Rose
and Best Gladioli Spike.
Jean Garbolinski had the
Best Foliage Plant, Ann
Tomlinson had the Best
Petunia Exhibit and Leann
Goetz had the Best Dahlia
in the show. The design of
pink hydrangeas by Albert
Parsons was chosen the
winner by a very slim margin over Ann Tomlinsons

sign representing Peace

in the Valley.
The show was open to
the public between 2 p.m.
and 4 p.m. and a large
crowd, including a group
from the Minnedosa Personal Care Home, attended. In addition to viewing

the hundreds of entries

in various classes, visitors
enjoyed refreshments including homemade rhubarb punch, coffee and
homemade angel food
cake with their choice of
topping. Th ey were also
encouraged to enter a

rainbow auction for prizes

donated by Horticultural
Society members.
The public was asked
to vote for one of three
fl oral designs which they
felt depicted the overall
theme of this years show
which was Our Town.

Local Golfers Shine At Games

Photo submitted

(L-R) Local golfers, Brock Johnson and Cory

Bouchard, recently competed at the Manitoba
Special Olympics Summer Games in Steinbach.
By RYAN THORPE

rom August 7th to

10th, the Manitoba
Special Olympics Summer
Games for golf were held
at the Steinbach Fly-in
Golf Club. Two Minnedosa residents, Brock Johnson and Cory Bouchard,
qualified for the event and
Johnson took home the
gold medal in division II.
Its just wonderful,
said Trudy Adamson,
who runs both the Special
Olympics golf and bowling programs in Minnedosa. These guys work hard,
they come out every Tues-

day and try to do their

best all the time. Theyre
always willing to practice,
they never complain, they
just go out and try to do
their best.
Both
competitors
qualified for the games by
submitting scores lower
than 70. Only two individuals from the region were
selected to participate.
Johnson shot nine-holerounds of 68 and 72, while
Bouchard put up scores of
70 and 77.
Im really proud of
how both of them played
in Steinbach, especially it
being their first time going

out and playing in something like that, something

theyre not used to doing,
stated Trudy. So Im very
proud of them.
This was the fi rst time
participating in the Special Olympics for both
athletes, who have been
members of the Minnedosa golf program for over
three years.
It was exciting and
fun,
said
Bouchard.
There were lots of other
people and I performed
pretty well with the other
athletes.
Bouchard went on to
describe his coach Trudy
as awesome, while saying that she helps both
him and Johnson a lot.
Adamson hopes that this
is simply a stepping-stone
for the golf program and
its athletes. Last year the
Minnedosa program participated in an event in

0,11('26$',675,&7086(80$1'
+(5,7$*(9,//$*(35(6(176

South Carolina and the

hope is that they will send
the members of the program to more competitive
tournaments as their skills
progress.
Right now we have
four athletes that usually come every Tuesday
night, said Adamson. We
do practice at the putting
greens and go to the driving range. We try to hit one
or two tournaments a year
if we can, if its possible.
Im hoping that as
they progress we will be
able to go to some of the
games that they have in
the states and some of the
other ones here in Canada.
Were just trying to build
the program. Next year is
selection year for the national games, so there will
be competition happening for that and hopefully
we can get them involved.

shape of a cross and measured 120 feet in length
and 96 feet in width. It
rose 128 feet from the
ground to the top of the
cross on the large centre
dome. The entire edifice
was supported by more
than 40 large wooden columns. The required lumber for the church came
from the Riding Mountain
forest reserve in the nearby national park and was
hauled to the construction site approximately 15
miles by horses.
Th e cathedral was
completed
in
eleven
months at a total cost of
a mere $18,000, debt free.
The finished edifi ce was
the largest wooden cathedral in all of Canada and
featured seventeen doors
and six entrances. There
were a total of 130 windows, with the third level
and main dome windows
being stained glass.

The opening celebration was held on July 12,

Cooking
With
CHEF DEZ

here are people who

feel that their food
preferences or knowledge
may not reflect what is correct or up-to-date in the
culinary world.
This is completely
understandable as there is
always an endless supply
of information and techniques. This does not commensurate however
that one should be
ashamed, or be denied of
the right, to express their
passion for this necessity
in our lives.
One of the many
things that I love about
food and food preparation
is that I never stop learning. One can never know
everything in this industry
and I consider it to be one
of the arts like music or
painting. Never can every
musical note and lyric,
colour and design, or food
flavour combination be
used up. It is literally impossible. No matter how
much or little you know,
chances are you have preferences in your apprecia-

tion of this medium that

is both an essential and an
indulgent part of our lives.
This individuality not only
guides you to determine
likes or dislikes, but defines you as who you are.
Carving a baron of
beef in a buffet line-up at
a Hotel many years ago,
I was approached by and
elderly woman with an
empty plate. As always, I
asked the level of doneness preferred. Looking
nervous, she whispered, I
know its not the right way,
but I prefer an extra welldone piece. So I asked
her what do you enjoy?
and she repeated extra
well-done with a sense
of bewilderment. If thats
what you enjoy, I stated to
her how is that the wrong
way?
Many people lose site
of this and in the meantime get blackballed, bullied even, by a definition
governed by the Culinary World. The textbook
doneness for red meat is
medium-rare for optimal

flavour, juiciness, and tenderness. This is merely

guideline however, and not
meant to overrule ones
preferences. If you dont
enjoy red meat mediumrare, then it is not the right
way for you.
Dont get me wrong:
I love a good rare steak,
but I also know it is not
the doneness of choice by
everyone. I am certain that
my opinion stated in this
column will not be agreed
upon by everyone, but I
also know that it will be
highly regarded by many
who have been criticized
in the past for their preferences.
As long as one continues to seize opportunities to try new foods and
preparation techniques,
and keep testing their
boundaries, then there
should be nothing wrong
with their final individual
evaluation. The culinary
world is full of guidelines,
but the sooner people realize that these guidelines
are not necessarily laws,
the better off everyone will
be.
Dear Chef Dez,
Recently I went to a
restaurant and ordered a
well-done steak. The server
advised me that the Chef in
the kitchen refused to cook

my steak of choice to that

degree of doneness. What
is your opinion on this?
Peter
Dear Peter,
Depending on the cut
of steak, most restaurants
will fulfill your request.
Some however feel that
for a top grade cut of beef,
cooking it well-done is a
waste. It just dries out the
optimal flavour and tenderness that a choice cut is
expected to offer the consumer.
I think the situation
should have been handled
differently. You should
have been advised that
the kitchen doesnt recommend well-done for
the selection of steak you
made, and offer you a different cut. If at this point
you still insisted on your
original choice, then your
request should have been
honoured.
I feel as professionals
it is our obligation to educate people on the culinary guidelines that we are
trained in and to make
appropriate suggestions.
If, however, the consumer

These are hands on and Lewandowski said she
events, said Helen Le- was quite pleased with the
wandowski, president of event.
Afterwards we serve
the museum. When you
just see it demonstrated, fried bread and everybody

loves it because they only

get it once a year, said Lewandowski. Our ancestors did it, my mother did
it. It was perfect for the
day when the kids came
home from school and
the bread wasnt ready.
So what did you do? You
grabbed a hunk and you
shaped it and threw it onto
a pan with some lard. You
browned it and maybe put
some jam or icing sugar on
it, its delicious.
Local community and
committee members host
the event, as well as teach
the skills in the workshops.
The museum partners with
the R.M. for the event and
councillors routinely come
out to participate in the
festivities.
This year we actually
had three generations involved, said Lewandowski. We had a summer student and her grandmother

was doing the doves and

her
great-grandmother
was doing the crate paper
flowers. So we are trying to
pass it down through the
generations.

We do partner with
the R.M. and we have
councillors who come out
and get involved. Its really
nice to see, to see them out
there doing some frying

and enjoying themselves.

People enjoy seeing that.
We try to make it a
learning experience, an
educational event that is
also a lot of fun as well.
