t approximately 9:45 a.m. Monday morning, the Minnedosa Fire Department and Minnedosa RCMP attended a barn fire on the property
of Bruce Betteridge at 126 4th Street S.E. (beach road). The owner was
reportedly in the process of dismantling the barn when the accidental fire
broke out. No injuries were reported.
Purchased by Herbert and Edith Graham in September, 1934, this
property was once the location of the Graham Flour Mill. The fee for ‘gristing’ was 25 cents per bushel of wheat and Herb and his sons milled for
farmers in this district and as far north as Mountain Road. After closure of
the mill, Herb’s son Albert continued operating a blacksmith shop in the
same location. The property later belonged to Bill Toovey who owned a
Plumbing and Heating business there for several years.
The cause of Monday’s fire is still under investigation.

A difficult balancing act
By DARRYL HOLYK
L
ooking at this year’s Financial Plan for the Town of
Minnedosa, one will notice there are no major paving or water and sewer upgrade projects planned for
the year. There is however $40,000 eartagged for street
patching and $400,000 budgeted to purchase diesel
backup generators for our water treatment plants. But
that is basically it for big ticket expenditures for paving and water. As stated in last week’s front page story
regarding the Town’s 2011 Financial Plan, at least one
local resident is concerned with Council’s decision to
decrease the street paving budget.
Over the past few years, we have seen the completion of a number of major street repair and paving
projects – over $1 million worth in the past five years.
There is of course much more to be done to our streets
as many are crumbling, full of potholes or have no
pavement and are basically a gravel road. We have also
seen an increasing need for water line replacements in
the past few years, with service line breaks becoming
more frequent each year. It’s to the point that almost
weekly, we spot another hole being dug to fix another
break. This is due to the fact that our underground infrastructure has simply reached the end of its regular
lifespan; it’s worn out and in need of replacement.
In a perfect world, all of our street and water issues could be solved in one year. It could be done if not
for one major factor – cost. Both paving and water and
sewer line upgrades come with hefty price tags. Last
year’s reconstruction of 8th Avenue S.W. came with
a price tag of $247,084.While there are grant-in-aid
programs available to help municipalities cover some
of the cost of such major projects, the majority of the
funds come from the community’s taxpayers. We all
want our streets and water fixed but we don’t want to
see an increase in our taxes. Unfortunately, the reality
is, that is almost impossible. I have seen firsthand how
our elected officials struggle to resolve the many issues
facing our community while ensuring tax increases do
not skyrocket out of control. In many cases they are
situated between a rock and a hard place and can only
do what they feel is the most appropriate solution for
the community and its residents.
Over the course of the next year, the Town will continue to repair and replace service lines as the old ones
fail. I have been fortunate to only experience water disruption or discolouration a few times, but have heard
from many other residents who experience these unfortunate water issues more frequently. It’s certainly
inconvenient and frustrating when you have no water
or the water you do have coming from your taps is discoloured and full of particles.
If I had to choose between a newly paved street to
drive on or clean, reliable water service in my home
or business, I would pick the water. Once our water
problems are more under control then we can focus
on some more major road repairs. Until then, $40,000
worth of pavement patching will have to do!
New position for Inky...
Former local Member of Parliament, Inky Mark, has
been acclaimed the Manitoba Director for Canada’s National Firearm’s Association. His political experience and
understanding of Canadian firearm laws and the legislative process will be beneficial to the association. With
Inky on board, the association hopes to have the Liberal
Firearm’s Act and Regulations repealed and replaced
with sensible laws that allow firearm’s owners to freely
enjoy the use of their property.
Wages on the rise...
On October 1st, 2011 the minimum wage in Manitoba will again go up. This time it’s increasing by 50 cents to
$10.00 an hour. Looking back 20 years ago it was half that
at $5.00 an hour. In 1971 the minimum wage was $1.50
an hour and 90 years ago, the hourly rate was a whopping 25 cents! The province’s minimum wage has been
increasing yearly, usually by 25 or 50 cents, since 2001.
At this rate, minimum wage in the year 2031 should be
around the $20.00 an hour mark. I wonder what we’ll be
paying for fuel in 20 years?

Impaired driver refuses breathalyzer
A
s most of you may have
heard, we responded
to a very tragic motor vehicle accident last Tuesday on PTH #16 Highway,
west of Basswood. It is
diffi cult to put into words
what goes through a person’s mind when they pull
up to a scene such as the
one we pulled up to that
late afternoon. Carnage
comes to mind. Senseless
maybe? Whatever word is
used won’t reverse what
happened, nor bring that
23- year-old man back to
life. It’s difficult to fi ll in
the blanks for a grieving
parent who only hours
before, wished his son a
safe trip. It was a straight
stretch of highway...the
sun was out and pavement
was dry... no other vehicles
were ivolved. We’re just
not sure yet what happened. You take the pictures, hold the measuring
tape, fi ll out the forms,
make the calls you’re supposed to make and in the
end, hope it makes sense
and try to help the families involved findclosure.
The level of professionalism and dedication I saw
that afternoon by our local Fire and EMS staff
was beyond exemplary.

CORNER
By CPL. BRIAN HUFF
The two Nurses from the
Shoal Lake and Oakburn
area who stopped to assist
saved lives in my humble
opinion and they all deserve the opportunity to
never have to do it again...
but we all know we can’t
have what we wish for...so I
will say thank you instead.
From the Police side
of things, we were able to
re-open the Yellowhead
Highway by 11:30 that evening. The formal report
from the traffic analyst will
take some time to come in
but we can safely say at this
point that alcohol was not
a factor in the accident.
Was this a preventable accident? You bet. Accidents
don’t just happen in nasty
weather. A long straight
stretch with a warm sun
can be worse than an ice
covered highway. Parents,
please talk with your kids
about the long trips you’ve
made and how important
it is to pull over if your get-
ting tired. A walk around
your vehicle can quite literally make the difference
between making it to your
destination and not.
The rest of the week
for the Minnedosa area
was relatively normal with
23 calls for service reported. Officers decided to
pull over a car on the 29th
after watching it weave
from one side of the street
to the other in Minnedosa. At three in the morning, one thing sort of led
to another when officers
were informed that the vehicle was not insured, the
driver did not possess a
driver’s licence, he had in
fact been drinking and to
top it all off , there was an
open case of Lucky Lager
on the seat. Not so lucky
I suppose, the 57-yearold male from Minnedosa
was arrested for Impaired
Driving. Normally, this is
the part where I get to say
how he was taken to the
Detachment and blew in
the Breathalyzer. This fellow decides he’s not going to blow. Fair enough,
now he’s got a refusing to

charge as well.
A number of traffi c
tickets were issued this
week for passing on a solid line, passing a stopped
school bus and using a radar detector. Before I get
to the Speeder of the Week
though, I’d like to remind
our fellow motorists that
it is the season for Motorcycles and Bicycles and
although they take up a
lot less space, we do share
the road with them equally
so please be on the lookout for our two wheeled
friends.
Now, the title of Speeder of the Week is handed
down to a 50-year-old man

down.
Have a safe week.

Hemochromatosis awareness month
Dear Editor,
D
id you know that one
in 300 Canadians
have the genetic marker
that can cause an iron
overload disorder? Estimates are that 110,000
Canadians may have this
disorder called hemochromatosis, but are unaware.
5
If undiagnosed, the consequences are potentially
fatal.
Diagnosis is diffi cult since symptoms are
vague, often masking
themselves as other more
common conditions, such
as liver disease, arthritis,
heart problems, or even
diabetes.

to learn more about the

2001 – The Minnedosa area is seeing an outbreak of
the forest tent caterpillar. Town employees have been
out spraying trees on Main Street with Malathion.
1991 – The Main Street concrete bridge, constructed
in 1932, has a number of inefficiencies (weight and
width restrictions) and has outlived its usefulness. For
the town to keep up with the times the bridge should
be replaced with a four-lane structure.
1981 – Vandals have struck again, breaking a window
at the Royal Bank and smashing three windshields. Total damages are estimated at slightly under $2,000.
1971 – A pharmacy consulting project has been
started at the Minnedosa District Hospital. The project will give local medical staff a regular consulting
service on new drugs, drug uses and other up-to-date
drug information. This is a pilot project and the fi rst of
its kind in Manitoba.
1961 – To date, more than 2,800 residents of
Minnedosa and the R.M.’s of Minto and Odanah have
submitted to the tuberculin skin test survey conducted
by the Sanatorium Board testing team. The results will
provide more conclusive evidence regarding those
people who may be carrying the TB germ.
1951 – Lieutenant Ernest Delmage has been appointed commanding officer of A Squadron, 18th Armoured Car Regiment of Manitoba Dragoons.
1911 – The railway company has a large building
program here. Among the projects under consideration are a double track across Main Street, a coal dock
and landing chutes, as well as nine tracks west of the
roundhouse.
1901 – Work has commenced on the new Presbyterian Church at the corner of Main and Water Streets.
Most of the young trees around Minnedosa have
suffered extensive damage from the weight of the wet
snow which has been left as a result of an unseasonable snowstorm.

Cory Johnston of
“Johnston Yard Care Services” was one of the people attending the course.
He explained that he has
started a yard care business cutting grass, hedge
trimming and general
yard care. “I found the
workshop invaluable and
learned a lot about the
bookkeeping, GST and
PST side of business,” said
Cory.
Sherry Lynn also attended the three-day
workshop. She and her
partner Robert Christian
have established a very
unique type of bed and
breakfast business north of
Neepawa at Waldersee. It’s
unique becasue your lodgings are a traditional Mongolian yurt along the Big

said Sherry. “I have taken

Masai warrior visits Canadian family
close.
In 2005, Albert and
Edith, along with Keith
and Anne, went to Africa
to meet Moses and he was
their guide on their first
African safari. It wasn’t
long before Moses began
calling Edith and Albert
his ‘Canadian Mom and
Dad’. During their visit,
Moses took them to the
Masai where they met his
family and offered school
supplies to the village from
TCS and Douglas Elementary School. The couples
also used money they had
collected and saved to purchase other items such as
soccer balls for the children of the Masai while in
Kenya. The visit was enjoyed immensely by both
couples and Albert and
Edith have expressed their
desire to go back to Masai
one day.
During this most recent visit, Moses arrived in
Canada May 8th and spent
time touring Toronto and
Niagra Falls before flying to
Winnipeg and seeing the
legislature. What he enjoyed most about his visit,
though, was being able to
see the Parsons again. “It
has been a big dream of
mine for the last ten years
to come to Canada and
see Edward’s parents because he has met my parents and all this time he
has said good things about
Canada,” Moses stated. “I
have travelled to many different countries but people
in Canada and here are
very friendly. People are
greeting neighbours and
every time we pass other
people they say, ‘good day’
and I think generally people in Minnedosa are very
friendly.
“I also love being next
to the water,” Moses remarked. “Some people
say the water is because of
flood but to me it is so very
beautiful. I could live here
like a second home because it’s so beautiful and
so nice.”
Th e Parsons said
goodbye to Moses at the
Winnipeg Airport on Saturday and he planned to
spend about five more
days in Toronto before flying home to Nairobi. He
hopes that this visit is only
the fi rst of many more to
come.

Love of Winnipeg, recently had a visit from their friend, Moses
Samante, who operates a touring safari company in Kenya.
By AMANDA BOYD
A
lbert and Edith Parsons welcomed family
friend and Masai warrior,
Moses Samante, into their
home for a brief visit from
Thursday, May 19th to Saturday, May 21st.
Moses, who is the
Managing Director of Masai Adventure Safaris Ltd.
in Kenya, was featured in
a CBC documentary last
year, entitled Africa On The
Move, which detailed his
journey from Masai warrior to Nairobi businessman, and had been invited
to Canada by the CBC to
further his endeavours in
acquiring Canadian clients.
Moses has always had
a very strong bond with the
animals of the Masai Mara.
“I am someone who was
born very close to the animals. I remember when
I was about 12 years old I
found a lion cub and took
him home, thinking he
could be like my big dog.
My father, who had several
wives and children, did
not like that. He told me to
take it back. He said ‘when
this lion grows up it will eat
you, all of your 26 brothers
and sisters, your mother
and me, so take it back and
if it eats you I don’t mind
because I have another
26 children.’ So I took the
cub back to the den and
thankfully the mother was
not there. I felt so lucky
that I didn’t get eaten,” he
chuckled.
Other animals that
tourists are sure to see on
a Masai Adventure Safari
include elephants, lions,
cheetahs, leopards, and
rhinoceroses.
“Instead
of people killing and eating the animals it is better
to have them see how the
animals live and take pictures,” Moses explained.
“I tell the Masai the importance of having the
animals and encouraging
tourism.”
A passionate philanthropist, Moses has assumed responsibility for
the education of not only
his brothers and sisters,
but several other children
of the Masai who would not
otherwise get a chance to
go to school. He also helps
families with medical bills
and purchasing cattle, the
biggest investment a Masai
family can make. There is
very little opportunity for
young people in the Masai
and Moses knows that as
a successful businessman
he is one of the lucky ones.
He is always travelling
home from Nairobi with
his wife, Evelyn and their
two sons to visit his mother
and family and help on the
farm any way that he can.
Another reason Moses
wanted to come to Canada
was to visit his ‘Canadian
family’, including Edith
and Albert Parsons and
family friends Keith and
Anne Love. Moses first met
the Parsons through their
son, Edward, who went to
Africa in 2002 to work as
a photojournalist. Moses
had just moved to Nairobi
from the Masai in order to
pursue his dream of creating a touring safari company and Edward helped
him to fi nish college and
offered him a place to stay.
Since that time, the two
men have been extremely

Bed bugs are not a health hazard but they can create
a lot of stress. Learn how you can protect yourself and
help stop the spread of bed bugs.
What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are flat, brown insects – about the size of an apple seed – that feed
on human blood. They cannot fly or jump. They usually hide during the day
where people sleep or sit. However, they can come out at any time of day
if needing to feed. Reactions to bites range from no reaction at all, to itchy
red bumps.

How bed bugs can get into your home.
Bed bugs can enter anyone’s home. They are carried in on items like luggage,
furniture and other household goods. If you find dark, reddish brown stains or
black droppings on your mattress, box spring or pillow, there is a very good
chance you have bed bugs.
How to keep bed bugs out of your home.
Search any used items, particularly mattresses, box springs and upholstered
furniture for bed bugs before bringing them into your home. Look carefully
in all seams and cracks. Use a magnifying glass and a flashlight. If you are
unsure about whether or not bed bugs are hiding in a piece of your furniture,
the heat from a hair dryer will force them out in the open.
What if you’re renting?
If you find bed bugs in your apartment, your landlord is responsible for getting
rid of them. You must co-operate with your landlord regarding instructions on
how to prepare your home before and after any extermination.

The variety Intrepid is one

however it will still need

wheat maybe a better option given quality is not as
critical especially if grown
for the ethanol market. The
feed wheat variety 411 has
a maturity similar to Intrepid and is earlier than
Andrew however the yield
is somewhat lower.
Oats are often June
seeded however they actually take as long as wheat
to mature especially once
the days get shorter and
cooler in late August. High
soil nitrogen will eliminate
oats as a viable option on
many pre-fertilized fields
for wheat since excessive
nitrogen will delay maturity well into September.
Oats can however tolerate
a light fall frost better then
wheat or barley maintaining its bushel weight and
still producing an acceptable yield.
Flax is also often seeded in June based upon its
ability to tolerate light fall
frosts however experience
has taught us that given
our shorter cooler growing
season June seeded flax
can take forever to mature
in the fall often requiring
well over 100 days to even
approach maturity. This
delay inevitably results in
harvest delays well into
late October and disappointing yields.
Barley is most often
the last crop seeded and
depending on the fall can
be harvested or cut and
baled as green feed. Feed
supplies this fall may again
be very tight as native
slough hay will once again
be minimal given present
water levels.

ATTENTION: students, youth,

local businesses
By KERRI COOK
2011 Office Manager
T
he Minnedosa Manitoba Youth Job Centre
(MYJC) has been operating for three weeks, and
is serving more clients every day. With our fingers
crossed for better weather,
excitement can begin to
settle in for summer break.
I have a lot of great ideas
for events this summer
with the Odd Job Squad,
some of them being the
dessert sale, kids carnival,
car wash, and the annual
strawberry pick. There is so
much that Minnedosa and
surrounding
communities can offer young people
aged 12-16 as they participate in the OJS. These
opportunities include attaining essential skills and
knowledge needed to enter the work force in the future. I encourage all members of this community to
support the youth and students of our community.
Lots of people forget
that the MYJC doesn’t just
deal with 12-16 year olds,
but we also offer great
services for students and
youth aged 17-29. I can
help you build or fi x a resume, create a cover letter,
prepare for a job interview,
and give you tips for find-
ing a great job. I encourage
anyone who is interested
to call or visit me at my office. I’ll help take away the
stress that can be a result of
job searching. Just remember this is an easy and free
way to potentially find a
job!
I would also like to
remind local homeowners and business owners
that the MYJC also offers
the job referral program.
I currently have a lot of
qualifi ed and hardworking students registered
with me who are looking
for casual, part time, and
full time positions. As the
weather warms up and the
sun begins to shine, you
might need help mowing
your lawn, weeding your
garden, or doing odd jobs
around the house and I’d
love to help find you someone who would be willing
to help.
Th e MYJC also ad-
vocates for volunteering
within the community. If
you need any volunteers
this summer, please contact the MYJC. It is important to remember the
significance, as well as the
humbling experience received from volunteering.
Volunteerism is quickly
becoming the most important part of a young person’s resume, employer’s
value volunteer experience. Anyone who has volunteered in the past knows
what a rewarding feeling
you get, when you realize
you’ve helped others. Remember: volunteering is
what you make of it!
If you would like more
information or have any
questions about the services offered feel free to contact me at 867-3846 or drop
by 133 Main Street South
(YRESS) in Minnedosa. I
look forward to hearing
from you soon!

Littlepath Farm comes to town
“We came up with the
idea that we could buy it
and open a market and it
would be a fine farmers’
market,” says Wes.
The idea is to be able to

local food on a regular basis by moving beyond the
farmers’ market and into
local and sustainable food
production.

Community vendors
also love the market atmosphere because they
are fun and allow them to
connect with the customers who love what they sell
and appreciate their hard
work. A market is also an
important source of income to help producers
continue what they are doing.
A venture like Littlepath Farm combined with
a local Farmers’ Market
can bring people together,
and can turn a once deserted area, such as a former carwash, into a hive of
activity. This activity also
attracts extra business for
other stores and restaurants in the community.
That’s a great thing for the

Is It Wrong To Cry?
When a friend or loved one dies, it is only natural for you to give way to
grief--and for you to cry. Tears are therapeutic in more ways than many of us
realize. They give us an emotional outlet, providing us with specific physical
action that we can perform. At the realization that a friend or relative is gone,
tears may come easily for both adult and child--and this is good!
Most people do not need encouragement
to cry, since it is so natural to
weep in sorrow. It is not unmasculine to cry at the death of a loved one or a dear
friend. It’s a misconception that “big boys shouldn’t cry”. This is all a part of
the “stiff upper lip” and “grin and bear it”. If there is an emotional hurt, then the
pain should be recognized, acknowledged, and expressed -- in this case, through
tears.
Your questions and comments on this and other subjects are welcome.

ere are some outstanding individual
performances at the divisional track and field meet
held in Rivers: topping the
list for T.C.S. was Grade 7

participating athletes.
festivals held throughout
the province. Then there
are the local live arts performances supported by
the Manitoba Arts Council and organized by local
performing arts boards.
Local art galleries, dance
ensembles, theatre companies, and music festivals
all contribute to the rich
artistic life of both rural
and urban communities.
Participation in the
arts provides young people with many worthwhile
life skills, including public speaking, confidence
in their own competence,
and appreciation of the
arts and the enrichment
the arts can contribute to
their lives. Participation in
arts and cultural activities
also improves creativity,
allows practice at working with other people to
provide a host of valuable
interpersonal skills, and
makes young people less
likely to become involved
in undesirable activity.
Manitoba’s NDP Government believes that
government plays a vital
role in encouraging and
supporting the arts. Recently Premier Selinger
announced the details of
the tax credit for children’s
arts and cultural activities
that was announced in the
May budget. Parents can
receive a tax credit to cover
some of the costs incurred
for having their children
involved in supervised
arts and cultural activities, such as dance, drama,
theatre, and photography.
This tax credit will allow
many parents, who might
otherwise struggle to find
the money to get their kids
involved in such activities,
to see their way clear to
registering their children
in some of these worthwhile activities.
Many right-wing politicians are not big fans of
using tax money to fund
such programs. Their
mantra of “less government-lower taxes” means
that funding for the arts
is placed on the chopping
block when they gain control of the government.
Their ideological mindset
is that these activities are
the responsibility of the
parents and should not be
a drain on government resources.
Manitoba’s NDP Government estimates that
well over 150,000 children
in Manitoba will benefit
from this government initiative. Society will benefit as these children learn
valuable life skills from
their involvement in these
activities, which will make
them better citizens in the
future. This is just another
way that the NDP Government is putting families
first, supporting children
and building stronger
communities, and that’s
“the other point of view”.
Powering a Bright Future. Guaranteed.

hat are the characteristics of a wellrounded, civil society?
What should governments
be doing to enable its
citizens to become more
productive and creative
members of society with
balanced lives? The answer is not simple but it is
obvious that government
resources that are available to foster well-rounded
citizenship should not all
be spent in one particular
area. Many times sport becomes the focus of funding
efforts and sometimes this
happens at the expense
of the arts. Although no
one can doubt the value
of sports and the many
advantages that participation in sports brings to individuals and to society as
a whole, the arts must be
promoted as well.
There are many worthwhile arts activities in our
province, ranging from
the well- known Winnipeg
Symphony Orchestra and
the Royal Winnipeg Ballet to the lesser-known local music and speech arts

FREDERICK HERMAN BAYES
JANUARY 23,1918
Fred was born on January 23, 1918 on the family farm at
Riverdale, MB. He was the fourth of six brothers. Fred took his
schooling at Cadurcis and remained on the family farm until
1941 when he enlisted in World War II and joined the Fort
Garry Horses Regiment. Fred was very proud of his service
and throughout his life he was a very active member of the
Minnedosa Legion.
After leaving the army, Fred returned to the family farm and
on December 12, 1945, he married Florence Olive Moffat. Fred
and Florence farmed together and in August of 1947, they
welcomed their first son Robert, followed in 1948 by another
son, George. In 1949, Fred and Florence relocated their young
family to Salmon Arm, where Fred owned and operated a
service station. In 1952, they welcomed a daughter, Kathryn.
Fred and Florence moved back to Minnedosa in 1954. They
bought a home on 1st Street NE where they lived for 54 years.
In Minnedosa, Fred worked for a short time at the RoCo Service
Station and Minnedosa Auto Sales. Shortly thereafter Fred
decided to venture out on his own and began a tire shop called
Minnedosa Tire. Fred and his partner Mac Davidson operated
the Tire Shop together and in 1959, they added the John Deere
Dealership. Due to growth in both businesses, Mac took over
total operation of the Tire Shop and Fred commenced his career
in the agricultural retail business, soon joined by Peter Olson.
Over the years John Deere went by the wayside and Versatile
and Morris became his main focal point.
Fred was also very active in the community where he served
as President of the Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce,
Chairman of the Minnedosa Industrial Commission, and
Trustee on the School Board. He was one of the founding
members of the Minnedosa Minor Athletic Association and
fundraising chairman for the first artificial ice surface at the
Minnedosa Arena. And this is just to name a few of Fred’s many
accomplishments.
In 1975, sons Bob and George returned home to operate two
dealerships in Neepawa and Minnedosa. Fred then found the
time to start enjoying life by travelling with Florence. Together,
they travelled throughout North America, mainly spending
their winters in Texas. During the summer they enjoyed golf
and fishing in their RV. Fred also found great joy in visiting with
his Grandchildren. For many years, his car was recognizable
on the streets of Minnedosa because of the bumper sticker that
read: “If I had known that Grandchildren were so much fun, I
would have had them first.” Fred enjoyed life to the fullest; he
could and would talk with almost anyone on any subject. He
enjoyed sports, politics and a good laugh.
After Florence’s passing in 2005, Fred spent a good deal of
his time with family and he made many new acquaintances;
however a part of him was missing. In December of 2008, Fred
moved to Victoria Landing in Brandon. While in Brandon, he
made many new friends and he became very involved in the
social activities. One activity for which he was very involved
was the organization of a bus trip to show off the many historic
sites in his home, Minnedosa. Sadly, Fred left us on Tuesday,
May 24, 2011.
Fred was predeceased by his parents and brothers Levi and
Ray. Left to mourn are his brothers, Ernie, Art and Cecil, as well
as sons Bob (Deidre) Bayes from Winnipeg, George (Dianne)
Bayes from Minnedosa, daughter Kathy (Bill) Cairney from
Calgary, AB. Also, Grandchildren, Becky Bayes and Mike (Kim)
Bayes from Winnipeg, Andrea (Leigh) Sawicki from Lockport,
Chad (Cheryl) Bayes and Carrie Bayes from Sechelt, BC,
Darcy and Colin (Jamie) Cairney from Sylvan Lake, AB; Great
Grandchildren, Lacey Bayes from Winnipeg, Kaylene, Teryn &
Layne Sawicki from Lockport and Hayden Cairney from Sylvan
Lake, AB.
