Even though Kelly worried about every little detail, it all turned out just fabulous. The rain held off, and we ended up with a truly great evening. Kelly looked gorgeous, and I of course was as handsome as ever. It was a small wedding under a tent out at a friend’s farm and was very informal. Kelly and a few friends/ family did all the cooking and baking to feed our guests, and the open/free bar was in use till the very wee hours of the morning. The evening was topped off with a tremendous fireworks display that was enjoyed by all, even the RCMP came by to watch. It was truly a wonderful night (from what I can remember, I drank way too much), and I am a very fortunate fellow to finally make an honest woman out of Kelly. •• My apologies for the delay in getting out the SMR in July & August. In July, both the publisher and I had holidays at different times and as a result we missed each other to get things done on time. As for August, well with all the wedding planning and then the honeymoon I was a little pre-occupied and was unable to devote the time to get it out sooner. •• It has been brought to my attention that Paul Horch has stepped up to volunteer to take over as Editor of your SMR newsletter. I wish Paul the best of luck, and would like to thank all of you for your support over the years and for all those that sent in articles, pictures and information, without you it would not have been possible. It was a unique learning experience and I have met members and club supporters I otherwise might not have. I know all good things must come to end, and I have had an incredible ride. Thank you.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILE TOUR CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Not only were we fed by the Prairie Dog Central Railway, they entertained us too. Our Planes Trains and Automobiles tour with the Prairie Dog Central turned out great again. The day started off promising rain, and it delivered in the morning. A number of of the cars arrived at the Inkster Junction Station needing a wipe down. However, before the train pulled out the clouds broke and the remainder of the day was lovely. About 15 old cars met at the station, the number somewhat lower than the usual turn out, probably because of the morning weather reports. On our way North to Grosse Isle we drove alongside the train at times, the passengers waving enthusiastically as we passed. As we approached the station there we were met by a rider on a vintage penny farthing bicycle, and by the time we formed a show, we numbered about 20 Club Cars. While we enjoyed lunch courtesy of The Prairie Dog Central we were entertained by a quartet playing Celtic tunes. After lunch, as we relaxed, an aircraft did some low level fly-overs and many of the train passengers enjoyed looking at the old cars. Our participation is always appreciated by the PDC and by their passengers, and is great fun for the MCAAC members who take part.

COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY JULY 11, 2014 WORDS AND PICTURES BY OTTO SO The month of July marks the 4th year the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) has secured federal acknowledgement as the “National Collector Car Appreciation Month” of the year. It was passed by the Senate Resolution 513 of United States (2011) to name July as Collector Car Appreciation Month. Since then, thousands of automobile collectors and enthusiasts have hosted this event across North America. Manitoba is one of the 3 Provinces that officially recognized and proclaimed July 11, 2014 is the Collector Car Appreciation Day for this year. Bob Chubala of Manitoba Association of Auto Clubs (our umbrella club) took the lead to organize this event once more. The last part of the Proclamation reads: ‘NOW THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN THAT I, Ron Lemieux, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Heritage,Sport and Consumer Protection, do hereby proclaim the July 11, 2014 shall be known as COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY in Manitoba, and do commend the thoughtful observance of these events to all citizens of ourprovince. Honourable Ron Lemieux To celebration this occasion and the 50th Anniversary of the Ford Mustang, special parking was reserved for the Ford Mustang Club on Memorial Boulevard. The Province, Councillor from the City, MPI and Winnipeg Police traffic division all sent their delicates to say greetings. Among the speeches, I like the words from MPI “.....we are working together with all the car guys.....”. Doesn’t it say on our licence plate we are “Friendly Manitoba” already? As Bob said, this is a non competitive car show. This is a show for people to view, admire and appreciate the efforts we put into our collection of vehicles, wheels, or machines whatever one likes to call them. The economic impact to the local community and taxes generated by our hobbyists is recognized and celebrated. From the eyes of the Americans, Winnipeg is no longer as an unknown hack town. Last year, Bob’s write-up together with one of my pictures was published on the back cover of SEMA’s newsletter. The name Winnipeg, Manitoba is finally on the map.

Introduction of New Members and Guests Member – Nigel Fortlage has been a member for several months but drove in this week to attend a meeting. Guests – Ron Lysy wishes to join the club. He owns a ’79 Datsun 510 sedan. Guests – Gary Glowa and Jim Penziwol from MAAC Previous Meeting Minute - No errors or omissions reported. Headingley Community Centre Thursday, August 14, 2014 Social Report - Doug McRae provided a humorous story along with the coffee. MAAC Report - Al Holmberg reported that MAAC will not be meeting in August. The 50/50 and Name Badge draw was conducted by Phil Hoffer A motion to adjourn was made and seconded at 8:30PM. The next meeting will take place on Thursday September 11, 7PM Correspondence - Thank you card from Deer Lodge for our attendance Business Update Arising from Previous Minutes - No old business New Business - Gary Glowa (Safety and Legislation) and Jim Penziwol (Chairman) attended this meeting to hear comments from the Club regarding the Collector Plate Program. Gary offered a brief review of past discussions that lead to the introduction of the program in 2013. Gary spoke about a ‘wishlist’. This included: - The implementation of a movable single plate for owners of multiple vehicles. - Only vehicles over 25 years to be included. - Exemption from emission testing and any other legislation in the future. - A discussion between several members and Gary lead to a very informative exchange of ideas and concerns. These included the lack of cost savings by switching from regular plates, no lay-up coverage, paying the premiums over the 5 driving months and not over the 12 month period. Gary asked for documentation that he could review to confirm these costs. MPI intends to review claims from owners of cars in the collector plate program, and would likely apply changes based on the outcome. Wayne asked for a show of hands for members with collector plates, members with regular plates, and members using lay-up coverage. Approximately 1/3 of attending members have collector plates, which might indicate that MPI’s review will be inaccurate if the percentage is the applied to all car owners.
