This latest win brings the boys’ total season winnings to 10-0; an accomplishment coach Gavin Roche is very proud of. “It’s been a perfect season,” he remarked. Today (Friday) the boys will play in the Manitoba High School Rugby Provincials Championships in Winnipeg where the fi rst and second rural teams will play the top two urban teams. Tomorrow (Saturday) the gold and bronze medal games will be played to decide the MHSR Championship. In other high school rugby news, the MCI Chancellors girls’ rugby team lost to Souris 12-5 in their game last Tuesday, May 24th. Four MCI Chancellors have been named to the Under 20 Girls Team Manitoba; Madilyn Grant, Kendall Holmes, Kendall Prettie, and Breanne Morgan. As well, several girls and boys will be trying out for Under 18 Team Manitoba. Photo by Amanda Boyd By AMANDA BOYD A 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.

If implants are present they will also have to go for breast screening.” One of the questions asked when booking that fi rst appointment is, “Are there any breast problems, like changes in the skin of the breast or nipple area, or any new lumps or bumps that are of concern?” Some cancers can be as small as a grain of rice. This year the Cancer Care Pledge Ride marks its 11th anniversary. Last year, the ride had 600 people on over 500 motorcycles. They raised an amazing $63,000 for a grand total of over $330,000. “The really nice thing about all of this is that the funds stay in Manitoba and go to the Cancer Care Manitoba Foundation to help fi ght breast cancer,” mentioned Katie. “We are very proud of the organizers of this event. This year we purchased two cancer care vans with the additional help of Manitoba government health department Photo by Kathleen Ledwith The Breast Check van of Cancer Care Manitoba was in Minnedosa recently. Over 200 women were checked for breast cancer during the screening program. and have the logo printed on the side of them.” This year’s pledge ride will take place this Sunday, June 5th in Winnipeg. Motorcyclists have ridden over 620,000 kms to help in the fight against cancer.

Recent additions to the line-up for Rockin’ the Fields 2011 include Tom Cochrane, Sass Jordan, Th e Sheepdogs and Jonas and the Massive Attractions. This year’s festival will also feature Big Sugar. Vote for the big stage... While on the topic of RFM, have you been voting for the festival’s portable stage project on the Pepsi Refresh website? The project is currently ranked #10 for a $100,000 grant. We need to get it closer to the top as only the project with the most votes will receive the $100,000 in funding support. Voting ends June 30th. To vote visit refresheverything.ca Voting for the NF MRI goggle project ended April 30th and came in 14th in the $25,000 category. 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? The Minnedosa Tribune Ltd.

All contents copyright 2011 TRUSTED Ι CONNECTED Ι TARGETED The Minnedosa Tribune 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. COPS 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 provide a breath sample 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 from Alberta when members stopped his mid-life crisis 2010 Camaro SS travelling 135Kph on Highway #10 in the R.M. of Odanah. The yellow “Bumblebee” was on his way with a $494.75 welcome to the Province of Manitoba and a friendly request to slow down. Have a safe week. Letters to the Editor 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 Friday, June 3, 2011 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.

Talk to your doctor because a simple test may save your life, or your loved ones. If I can save even one life through awareness of iron overload, I have made a difference. Sharon Nylen Erickson, MB d l O Ye b i r T 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.

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. Photo by Amanda Boyd (L-R) Albert Parsons, Keith Love, Edith Parsons, Anne Love and Moses Samante.

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.

Everyone can stop their spread. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 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. 11055gg12 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.

T The variety Intrepid is one of the earliest varieties however it will still need 90 days and you will still be fi ghting wheat midge and likely some significant fusarium pressure. Feed 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.

A few calls regarding the boosting the glyphosate component of the product Clean Start. Clean Start uses Credit as its glyphosate component however some produc- ers have inquired about boosting the glyphosate with the product Maverick. These products can be utilized however the mixing order should be to add the Credit, add the Maverick and then fi nally add the Aim. This mixing will however void any performance guarantees by the respective companies. Elmer Kaskiw is a Farm Production Advisor with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives in Shoal Lake. TRIBUNE PRINTING ATTENTION: students, youth, homeowners, and 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!

By KATHLEEN LEDWITH W es Huyghe came back to Minnedosa last year with a firm belief that he could operate and maintain a giant market garden. His plans were to grow and deliver produce to clients, but soon realized it’s alot of work and not exactly efficient as food is ripening daily and there was a Farmers’ Market in town only one day a week. Sitting around the breakfast table one morning, chatting with his family, they had been looking at the site of the Gateway Carwash for a long time.

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 entire business district. ads If your label re 11 /06 /30 It’s time to ren ew! 12-4 Call 867-3816 The Minnedosa Tribune 11 Friday, June 3, 2011 Shevchenko dancers hold Spring Concert SUBMITTED were presented with bread, salt and wheat by Travis hevchenko Dance En- and Shayla Woychyshyn semble celebrated 34 symbolizing health and years of dance on Satur- prosperity for all. day, May 14th at the Sandy Each dance group Lake Community Hall.

Carrying On A Tradition Nathan White Funeral Director Minnedosa Funeral Service 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.

Congrats to all our 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.

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 13 Friday, June 3, 2011 FRANKLIN NEWS By BERYL PARROTT D ennis and Irene Magwood spent the long weekend visiting with Wade, Kerry, Tylan and Brooklyn Magwood at Morris, 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. 17 CARD OF THANKS MCNA PROVINCE WIDE CLASSIFIEDS We would like to express our thanks to family and friends for their support following the passing of Flo’s Mom, Eva Watson.
