Transcona’s Only Exclusive Community Paper
www.bondprinting.net/views.php
(Special To The Views)
CN has announced a major sponsorship of Transcona
Centennial Square, honouring joint centennial celebrations by the
community of Transcona and CN’s Transcona Shops. CN will contribute $250,000 to erect a Centennial Clock Tower on Centennial
Square, in recognition of the long-time and continuing relationship
between the town and the railway. The announcement was made June
1 by CN President & Chief Executive Officer Claude Mongeau
while visiting the CN Transcona Shops and employees during the
centennial celebrations.
“The bond between CN and Transcona goes back to the early
days of the 20th century” said Mr. Mongeau. “The town grew around
the Shops complex that was being built on the open prairie. Over the
decades, generations of CN workers made their homes and raised
their families here. I am immensely proud that the tradition carries on
today, 100 years later, and to be recognizing the ties between us in this
highly visible manner.”
“On behalf of Transcona, I want to sincerely thank Claude
Mongeau for his tremendous leadership and dedication to communities such as ours,” said Transcona Ward Councillor Russ Wyatt. “As
the success and proud history of Transcona and Winnipeg are directly
linked to the development and growth of this great railway company,

we are forever grateful.”

The Best In Sight
A Look At Retinal Detachment
Presented By Transcona Optical
The retina is the light-sensitive layer
of tissue that lines the inside of the eye.
When the retina is lifted or pulled from its
normal position, it is called a Retinal
Detachment. If not promptly treated, a
retinal detachment can cause permanent
vision loss. In some cases, there may be
small areas of the retina that are torn.
These areas, called retinal tears or retinal
breaks, can lead to a retinal detachment.
Symptoms include a sudden-or-gradual increase in the number of floaters
and/or flashing lights in the eye or the
appearance of a curtain over the field of
vision. A retinal detachment is a medical
emergency. Anyone experiencing the
symptoms of a retinal detachment should
see an eye-care professional immediately.
What are the different types of retinal
detachments?
1) Rhegmatogenous [reg-maTAH-jenous] — A tear or break in the
retina causes it to separate from the
Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) -
which is the pigmented cell layer that
nourishes the retina - and fill with fluid.
These types of retinal detachments are
the most common.
2) Tractional — In this type of
detachment, scar tissue on the retina’s
surface contracts and causes it to separate from the RPE. This type of detachment is less common.
3) Exudative — Frequently caused
by retinal diseases including inflammatory
disorders and injury/trauma to the eye. In
this type, fluid leaks into the area underneath the retina (subretina).
Although anyone can experience a
retinal detachment, people with certain
eye conditions are at increased risk.
Some examples of these conditions
include:
Posterior
Vitreous
Detachment ... Lattice Degeneration
...
X-Linked
Retinoschisis
...
Degenerative Myopia ... and Uveitis.
Injuries to the head can also cause a
retinal detachment.
Small holes and tears are treated with
Laser Surgery or a freeze treatment called
Cryopexy. These procedures are usually
performed in the doctor’s office. During
laser surgery, tiny burns are made around
the hole to “weld” the retina back into place.
Cryopexy is a similar procedure that
freezes the area around the hole.
Retinal detachments are treated with
surgery that may require the patient to
stay in the hospital. In some cases, a sclera buckle (a tiny synthetic band) is
attached to the outside of the eyeball to
gently push the wall of the eye against the
detached retina. If necessary, a
Vitrectomy may also be performed to
treat more severe cases.
Early treatment can usually
improve the vision of most patients with
retinal detachments. An eye-care professional who has examined the
patient’s eyes and is familiar with his-orher medical history is the best person to
answer specific questions.

212 Regent Avenue West in Downtown

CN employs approximately 500
people at its Transcona Shops complex. They perform heavy repairs to
CN’s Canadian-based locomotives and

five years. In addition to the workforce
renewal, CN has invested some $10
million of improvements to the Shops in
the same time period, upgrading lighting, ventilation, employee facilities and
other parts of the complex.

Transcona Remembered
Historical Landmark Prompts
Recollection Of Many Names
By Bill Blaikie, Guest Columnist
The building at the corner of
Madeline & Pandora — which opened
in 1956 and used to house the
Transcona Police & Fire Department,
the Public Works Department and
Transcona City Council Chambers —
may soon be history, as I understand
that the city property between Madeline
& Hoka is slated for a condominium
development. This is not a bad thing,
but it does mean that another
Transcona landmark may well be disappearing, making it appropriate perhaps to remember some of those who
served our community from that place.
It was in that building that I first
exercised my interest in how the business of elected officials was conducted,
attending city council meetings in 1963.
I remember quite lively arguments on
occasion between Aldermen Bill
Dyzndra & Mike Starr with Mayor
Harry Fuller presiding. The Mayor
before Fuller was Tom Copeland and
before that, Paul Martin who was voted
“The Greatest Transconian” a few
years ago and is an Honourary Chair
of Transcona’s 100th Anniversary.
Another of the Aldermen that I
remember from that time was the late
Jack Perry whose wife, Rev. Edna
Perry, is also a Centennial Honourary
Chair. Other names that come to mind
from councils past are Nick Slotek, Al
Thompson, Walter Philip & Don
Perry. Don was later one of three elected to represent Transcona on
Winnipeg City Council when we first
became part of the new Winnipeg created in 1971. The other two were Phil
Rizzuto and Bernie Wolfe, another
Honourary Chair of our Centennial.
Controlling portfolio risk while potentially
increasing investment returns is essential
to the success of your investment plan.
It takes just the right ingredients to make
a proper mix.
But it isn’t only the politicians who
served our community from that place
who should be remembered. City
Engineer George Reshaur (who had
the idea to build Murdoch Hill),
General Foreman Harry Sandulak,
Stan Lopuck, Charlie & Frank
Altomare, Jake Wiebe... are just a few
longtime city workers who come immediately to mind... and Tony Bayrack,
who gave me a follow-up course in
Ukrainian, my first having been
obtained across the street one summer
at North American Lumber building
trusses with Mike Grodzyk.
Thinking of Transcona Police &
Fire folks who served out of Pandora &
Madeline, I immediately think of Chiefs
Joe Teres & Gus Bilodeau and an earlier Chief, Alex Taylor, who did his
Justice Of The Peace work there.
Others also come to mind like Bert
Zaretski, John Matheson, Walter
Shefchyk, Jack Haack, Brian Kramble,
Joe Lucky, Bill Evans & Barry Rand.
What became the new public safety
building at Pandora & Plessis, opened
in 1968, is itself now a matter of historical
record, although it continues to exist in a
transformed way as a church.

D & S Auto Receives Mayor’s Award
Provided By The Transcona BIZ
Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz (right)
presented a 2012 Mayor’s Award in
early June to Dave Hrynchuk, coowner along with brother Jack of D & S
Auto Service at 122 Regent Avenue
West. The prestigious award is presented annually to individuals, organizations
and businesses that have made significant contributions to their local
Business Improvement Zone (BIZ).
Awards are presented for exemplary
work that contributes to BIZ programs in
a variety of ways. Past awards have
acknowledged contributions in the
areas of special events, marketing, promotions, physical enhancement and
safety.
Since 1976, D & S Auto has served
Transcona and surrounding areas plus
province-wide customers with knowledge, honesty, great customer service
and quality workmanship. Dave opened
the business with his brother Steve who
retired in 1999. Jack then joined Dave
Transcona BIZ Green Team. They are
forever filling flat tires, charging batteries, changing bearings and doing so
much more for the Green Team students who water the flowers throughout
the BIZ during the summer months. The
students quickly learn that Dave and his
staff are their “Go To Guys” for advice
and assistance. For the countless hours
of repair and support offered over the
years, Transcona BIZ was proud to
nominate Dave Hrynchuk and the staff
of D & S Auto for the 2012 Mayor’s
Award. v

as a partner. Today, the two owners —
along with employee Kevin — offer a
combined 95 years of automotive
knowledge and experience. Trust, honesty and integrity are often words used
by customers to describe the service
they receive from D & S Auto.
For many years, the gentlemen at
D & S have been quiet heroes to the

Seeking Public Support
Proposed Park City West Multiplex
Would Enhance Our Quality Of Life
By Robin Chase, Views Editor
Park City West Community
Centre at 115 Sanford Fleming Road
has had a Multiplex proposal on the
drawing board for several years now...
one designed to increase the quality of
life in Transcona by providing a multitude of recreational options... but they
need new public support if the project is
to have any chance at all of getting off
the ground. There have been several
news reports about the project over the
last few years, but for the benefit of new
residents and for anyone else not fully
aware of it, let’s reiterate a few key
aspects of the project.
Healthy Living/Fitness Facility —
Imagine how nice it would be if there
was a place in Transcona where you
could walk-or-run and exercise indoors
year-round. The proposed Healthy
Living/Fitness Facility component of
the Multiplex project would include a
full range of treadmills, elliptical trainers
and stationary bikes as well as other
types of exercise equipment.
New Arena — It has become obvious to many people that Roland
Michener Arena at 1121 Wabasha
Street is getting a little long in the tooth.
The proposed Park City West
Multiplex would include a new, state-ofthe-art, environmentally-friendly arena
component. But even if a new arena is
built, Roland Michener need not fall
victim to the wrecking ball.
Scott Donald is a former Park
City West Vice-President of Sports
who has been working on the Multiplex
project. He says Roland Michener
could be renewed for other purposes:
“Roland Michener loses the City of
Winnipeg about $200,000 a year. By
converting or ‘repurposing’ Roland
Michener for a different use, the City
could save a lot of money. For example,
Manitoba Gryphons would like to use
Roland Michener as a year-round facility for box-and-field lacrosse for training,
practices and games. The fact that
Roland Michener has boards, player
benches, stands, dressing rooms,
showers etc. makes it perfect to be
‘repurposed’ as a lacrosse facility.”
Past Public Support — Mr.
Donald pointed out that two different
surveys were conducted in 2007 & 2011
which showed 90% support by residents
for the proposed Multiplex. In addition
in 2009, all Community Centre
Presidents in Transcona & River East
voted in support of the proposal. Also,
the General Council of Winnipeg
Community Centres (GCWCC — the
group that oversees all community centres in Winnipeg) recommended the
Multiplex at Park City West as a Top
Five Priority for the City. Lastly in
2010, the City’s Executive Policy
Committee approved the GCWCC
business plan which included the proposal for a Multiplex in Transcona.

Transcona Legion News
Come & Join The Legion
By Celeste West
It was only just today that a fellow
co-worker of mine asked me what the
Legion is. There are many people out
there who still do not know what the
Royal Canadian Legion is all about. He
said all he knew was that he’d drive by a
building every day that said “Legion” in
big words and “Bar opens at Noon”. I
thought that this would be the perfect
opportunity to provide an explanation by
outlining the activities and programs of
Transcona Legion Branch #7.
I mentioned to him about the
Poppy Campaign and that every
November, the Legion distributes
Poppies to the public - that the money
collected goes towards donations to
hospitals for medical equipment ... provides assistance to Legion housing
that provides homes for low-income
Veterans ... offers bursaries for postsecondary education ... hosts colouringand-literary contests for local schools ...
sponsors local youth groups ... and provides speakers to go to local schools
and talk about Remembrance.
The Legion also provides activities
for its members and has in-house clubs
such as Darts and Cribbage, to name
but two. Transcona Legion holds tournaments such as Golf, Darts, Cribbage
and Nine Ball with other Legions on
Zone, District, Provincial & National
Levels. There is a Legion Sports Camp
for teenage children located at the
International Peace Gardens in southwestern Manitoba. I could go on and on,
but maybe you should come down to the
Legion and see for yourself.
You do not have to be a Veteran to
become a member. We are a club that
welcomes all new members — without
you this organization would not be here.
And don’t let the “Bar open at Noon”
sign make you think that we are just a
club where old Veterans go to drink
beer – we are much more than that. We
are having a Membership Drive and
we are looking for 100 new members
this year. Come in and see how easy it
is to join.
Hall Rentals — We have a beautiful hall for rent. It would be perfect for
your Centennial Celebration. Call 204222-9951 for details ..... Centennial
Merchandise — Transcona 100
Merchandise is still for sale at the
Legion. Come down after 2:00 PM and
check out what is available. Youth sizes
are included ..... Transcona Legion is
located at 117 Regent Avenue East in
Downtown Transcona.
Upcoming Events — Executive
Meeting on Tuesday July 10 at 6:30
PM ... Family Picnic on Sunday July
15 from 12:00 Noon to 4:00 PM at St.
Vital Park, Structure 2B (beside the
soccer field). Please register at the
Branch to attend ... General Meeting on
Thursday July 26 at 7:30 PM .....
Weekly Events — Bingo every
Monday at 7:00 PM ... Cribbage every
Tuesday at 7:30 PM ..... Watch the
Bulletin Boards for details of all events.
For more info, you may also call
Transcona Legion at 204-222-9951, email [email protected] or visit our
website at www.transconalegion.ca v
will be compiled by project officials and
presented to Transcona Ward
Councillor Russ Wyatt who has a long
history of fighting for Transcona at City
Hall.
Therefore,
through
your
letters/messages, you will be letting
Councillor Wyatt know that you want
him to fight for this project. And if you
would like more information regarding
the proposed Multiplex project, you
may e-mail Mr. Donald at scott.donald

Transcona City Councillor
“So you may be asking why this
project has not gone ahead,” said Mr.
Donald. “Well it’s complicated, but
essentially a department within the City
of Winnipeg believes only twinned arenas should be built, regardless of the
merits of twinned arenas in all areas of
the City or the support for a Multiplex in
Transcona.”
