Whimsical animals coming to the Gwen Fox Gallery
Award winning artist is
bringing her work to Selkirk
By Dave Baxter
Beautiful stone sculptures are coming to the Gwen
Fox Gallery, for an art exhibit that will show off
Kathy Freeman’s love of sculpting, and her love of
animals.
Freeman, who lives in St. Andrews, said she has
been passionate about sculpting since she was a
kid, and has been doing it for over 30 years.
She has sculpted in many mediums and styles, but
in the last few years has realized that she is passionate about sculpting “whimsical stone animals, full
of movement and expression.”
In her upcoming art show entitled Animal Friends,
Freeman will be displaying a wide variety of stone
sculptured animals.
The show will run at the gallery throughout the
month of February.
She may do her art because it is a passion, but
lately people have been taking notice of the good
work she has done.
At the 2014 Interlake Juried Art Show one of her
pieces won second place, and one of her pieces won
first place at the show in 2013.
She said her art skills are based around three-dimensional work.
“It’s always been three-dimensional, and if I try to
draw in two-dimensional it looks like a grade three
student did it,” joked Freeman.
during the show.
A reception for the Animal Friends art show will
take place on Sunday Feb. 1 from 2-5 p.m. at the gallery.
Freeman hopes people continue to support the
Gwen Fox Gallery, because simply walking in the
doors of the gallery helps out.
The gallery receives funding based on the number
of visitors who sign their visitor book.
The Gwen Fox Gallery is located at 101-250 Manitoba Ave. in Selkirk.

Blues legend rocks out in Selkirk
By Austin Grabish
A Juno Award winning blues artist
was in Selkirk on Saturday night for
one big birthday bash.
And the show will go a long way towards helping the Our Daily Bread
Soup Kitchen.
Big Dave McLean played at the
Merchants Hotel in Selkirk for Chad
Gaborieau’s 45th birthday.
The blues artist, along with local artist Aaron Starr and band Bad House
Highway performed at the Selkirk bar
for Gaborieau, who is also known to
many as Big Chad.
Gaborieau owns bankapproved.
ca, and said he wanted to make sure
his birthday was great, so he paid for
McLean to perform, and charged a
cover at the door.
All the proceeds are going to the
Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen.
“The guys at the hotel wanted to
have a birthday party for me and I
said ‘only if we charge at the door
and give it back to the community,’”
Gaborieau said.
McLean is from Winnipeg, but said
the last time he was in Selkirk was
probably 20 years ago.
“I haven’t been to Selkirk very often.
It’s nice to be back,” McLean said.
Gaborieau said he was happy to get
such a high profile blues musician to
play in Selkirk.
“He’s a big deal,” Gaborieau said.
McLean has traveled internationally
for much of his career, but likes to stay
closer to home these days.
“I do most of my work in the west.
It’s my home base,” McLean said.
He said playing the blues is his passion in life.
“That’s what I like to do. I love the
music. I like keeping a lot of the old
school tunes alive.”
Big Chad said he was happy with his
birthday celebration, and on Tuesday
he announced he had raised approximately $500 for the soup kitchen.

Career fair gets kids thinking about the future
Walter Whyte
School gives kids
a lesson in career
options
By Dave Baxter
An event at Walter Whyte School
gave students the chance to talk about,
and think about what they want to be
when they grow up.
The K-9 school in Grand Marais held
a career fair last Thursday afternoon,
and brought in people with a wide
range of careers to talk to students
about all the different kinds of careers
they could get into once their school
days are over.
The kids are still only school aged,
but Marla Yarema, the school’s guidance councillor, said that shouldn’t
stop them from thinking about the
future.
“So the idea is to get them thinking
about different job options, and get
them excited,” said Yarema.
She said she knows all kids learn differently and have different strengths,
so a big idea of the fair was to get kids
to build on those strengths.
She said they wanted to make kids
aware that their future could be very
bright, even if they aren’t strong at
classes like math and science.
“So they could be body smart and
work with their hands, or they could
be art smart and work in a creative
field, or be logical smart and get into
something like engineering.”

Chris Feakes talked to kids about the work he does as an ironworker, at the Walter Whyte career fair last
Thursday.
The career fair also showed kids
with a knack for creativity that they
could find a career that builds on that
creativity.
“So we have a musician, and a tattoo
artist, and a video game developer, so
they can see that they can build on
those creative smarts.”
The school even invited me (Dave

Selkirk celebrates Robbie Burns Day
By Austin Grabish
Scotland’s favourite son was celebrated with tea, dainties, and traditional Scottish music at the Selkirk Legion
on Sunday.
Robbie Burns, a Scottish poet and lyricist from the 17th
century, was remembered as a smart man who strived for
equality.
“He was a bit of a forward thinker of his time,” said Shannon Baxter, the chair of the committee who put on the
Robbie Burns Tea at the legion.
Burns is celebrated around the world every year on Robbie Burns Day, which landed on Sunday.
The Glenaura Pipes and Drums band organizes an event
every year in honour of Burns, and the band played their
pipes for a packed legion on Sunday.
Band president Bob Grant said Burns was a fantastic
writer who deserves to be remembered.
He said people of all cultures celebrate the birth of Burns
all over the world, because he was such a great poet and
leader.
Burns was a spokesman for the Scottish Enlightenment,
and a strong advocate for human rights.
“He was 200 years ahead of his time,” Grant said.
“They developed this idea of democracy, and no status
because of who you are when you’re born.”
Grant noted Burns supported women’s rights during a
time where the idea was almost unheard of.
It’s the first time the Glenaura Pipes and Drums have put
on a tea instead of a dinner to honour Burns, but everything went smoothly on Sunday.
“It went really well,” Grant said.

The Glenaura Pipes and Drums band celebrated Robbie Burns, a 17th century Scottish
poet and Scottish Enlightenment spokesman on Sunday at the Selkirk Legion, and are
also celebrating the bands 25th anniversary this year.
And the fact the Glenaura Pipes and Drums are celebrating their 25th year probably had a small part of Sunday’s
success.
Leigh Ward, the pipe major of the band, said the band is
going strong.
“It’s a nice group,” Ward said. “It’s just fun.”
Ward has been in the band for the last 15 years, and said
she’s enjoyed the opportunities she’s had over the years

Ashton pledges to do good for rural Manitoba
lease.
“The status quo is not an option. We are facing oblivion in rural Manitoba unless we take
a significant change in direction,” Nevakshonoff
said. Ashton said he would consult municipalities on their local priorities if elected premier.
He also said he would increase the rate of
growth in infrastructure funding available to
municipalities by 50 per cent of what it currently
sits at.
Premier Greg Selinger is fighting in the leadership race to keep his job, and former Jobs and
Economy Minister Theresa Oswald is also eyeing up the NDP leadership seat.
The NDP leadership convention is on March 8
in Winnipeg.
We want to hear from you.
Northwest Winnipeg Natural
Gas Pipeline Open House

NDP leadership hopeful Steve Ashton said he would
restore relationships with rural Manitoba if he was
premier.
Manitoba Hydro is proposing to extend an existing pipeline located at Selkirk Avenue and
the Perimeter Highway to ensure a reliable and continual source of natural gas to our
customers. The proposed pipeline will travel north to increase supply in Stonewall and then
east to connect to an existing pipeline outside of Selkirk.
By Austin Grabish
NDP leadership hopeful Steve Ashton announced his
plan to better relationships with rural Manitoban communities last Friday.
Ashton said if he was Manitoba’s next premier he would
consider having government offices moved to rural areas
and would review recent proposed closures of rural offices
that have come under the Selinger government.
“I want to look at not only some of the office closures that
have been proposed the last period of time, but a specific
initiative of government that will look at us partnering
with local communities to provide government services in
rural Manitoba, Ashton told a news conference.
Ashton said thanks to modern technology government
work can be done anywhere and not just in Winnipeg.
He said he’s heard from his contacts costs for government offices in rural communities could be lower when
compared to their counterparts in Winnipeg.
He said employees could be attracted to work in rural
Manitoba because of the low cost of living.
Ashton’s pledge to move crown jobs to rural communities isn’t new.
Former Progressive Conservative Premier Gary Filmon
tried bringing government jobs to rural communities in
the 1990s.
“There was a similar initiative a number of years ago and
its time has come again,” Ashton said.
Interlake MLA Tom Nevakshonoff is backing Ashton and
stood beside him for last Friday’s announcement.
“The NDP in Manitoba needs support in rural Manitoba
to form government,” said Nevakshonoff, in a press re-

Ice jamming a yearly concern for avid Red River anglers
Hi folks.
Gosh it was odd how similar stories kept popping up during visits on
the ice with our fellow anglers this
week. Remember a couple of weeks
ago when we met James Penner, Matt
Castro and Josh Kocker in my article
who were worried that early Red
River ice cutting would force them to
move their shack soon? Well, I got a
call from Darrell Kupchik who runs
that operation and he wants us to
know that while they’re asking shackers at Breezy Point to move by Feb. 2,
they will only disturb folks in small
bunches as they work upstream. Apparently TV reporters interviewing
anglers at Sugar Island gave them
the impression that they had to move
their shacks now, which is not true
and it really upset Darrell.
This concern came up again when
visiting folks at Balsam Bay last
weekend. When I got to the pier I
headed for a couple of tailgaters I
could just see through the light misty
rain. Upon reaching the men, I introduced myself to Winnipeggers Brad
Ehinger, a thin fit fellow with a long
white-grey mustache and goatee and
Tony Curtis a taller, fuller figured
man with a shorter mustache and
goatee.
During our talks, I mentioned that
Darrell had called about the start of
ice cutting on the Red and Brad, who
has a hard wall shack on the river by
the steam plant, very emphatically
said, “Dredge the mouth of the river
and you won’t have ice problems! It’s
basic physics!”
You know gang, I’ve listened to
folks who feel spring ice jamming
can be cured by ice cutting while others want to see dredging. I think it
should be a combination of both. The
ice cutting equipment we have can
be used to cut ice and dredge, all we
need is for the Feds to step up and
share the cost with our province, after all it is their river.
As we continued talking, Tony
gave us a story where last week his

shack and Tony’s grandson, Julienne,
slipped his leg into one of the fishing
holes getting him wet up to his hip.
Tony had spent all morning hauling
all kinds of stuff to the river so the
whole family could have a day outdoors and now he was faced with having to take everyone home. Tony was
not one to give in so the boys jumped
in the truck and ran over to Walmart
and bought Julienne a whole new set
of clothes while the girls in the shack
dried the boy off. An afternoon of ice
fishing was saved!
Later, I ran over to Chalet Beach in
the Interlake for a story and I noticed
that while the shackers at Balsam are
spread out for miles in no particular
pattern their counterparts at Chalet
are spotted in a seven mile line along
the major ice break. Coming onto the
ice at Warner Road I could see a large
shack straight east about a mile out.
I slowly idled out to what was more
like a cottage; got out of my truck
and knocked on the door asking the
folks inside if they had a good fishing story for their fellow anglers. The
door opened and I was ushered into
a brightly lit, high walled shack with

a vaulted ceiling. Kids and adults of
all ages milled about, some fishing
in holes in a lounge area while others snacked by the kitchen cabinets.
It was an absolutely heartwarming
sight to take in!
An averaged sized man and a thinner fit fellow by the names of Darcy
Pakulak and Robert Vg respectively
came forward to greet me. Above the
din of the families’ lively conversations we traded fishing stories one
of which was; are you ready for this?
Years ago when family member Melissa Vg was four years old she fell
into a fishing hole with one leg up
to her hip! Laughing, I told everyone I had just heard the same kind
of story from an angler at Balsam Bay
the only difference being that when
it happened to Melissa there was no
Walmart in Selkirk to go to for new
clothes. In Melissa’s’ case, they simply took her clothes off and dried
them over the stove and kept on fishing!
I’d like to thank Lana Meier, my
publisher, for letting me be a little
more yappy than usual so we could
talk about ice jamming on the Red.
Bye for now.

Minnesota pledges to protect Lake Winnipeg
By Austin Grabish
Minnesota became the first U.S.
state to make an official commitment
to protect Lake Winnipeg after it put
pen to paper on the Lake Friendly Accord last Jan. 20.
“I am very pleased that Minnesota
is the first U.S. state to sign the Lake
Friendly Accord,” Minnesota Pollution Control Commissioner John Linc
Stine said in a news release.
Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh told
reporters Minnesota’s ratification of
the Accord is a step in the right direction.
“If we’re going to solve the challenge of Lake Winnipeg and the algal
blooms that are increasingly showing
up there, it’s really important,” Mackintosh said. Minnesota waterways
currently have similar problems as
ones found in Lake Winnipeg.
Lakes have algae problems and invasive species like zebra mussels have
become a problem for the U.S. state.

Concerned
parents speak out
Dear Editor,
As a group of parents who put community and the education of our children first we have enjoyed reading
your articles of child care improvements to the Interlake.
However in all of these press releases, the news of the closure of the
YMCA-YWCA’s program in Clandeboye has been missed.
How can provincial and educational
divisions boost improvements, yet
shelter and ignore the complete removal of care and not be responsible?
We are writing today as concerned
parents and community members.
The YMCA has been operating a Before & After School Program in our local school, William S. Patterson School,
located in Clandeboye. The YMCA has
now given notice that they will cease
operating the program at the end of
this school year (June 2015).
“Zebra mussels is one of the hottest
topics in our state for natural resource
managers,” Linc Stine said.
“It’s a very big issue.”
Mackintosh said Lake Winnipeg directly impacts a total of nine governments in both Canada and the United
States.
“We’ve got to make sure that all of
the nine jurisdictions are working together and are addressing the challenges,” Mackintosh said.
Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan
are all key provinces that have a vital
role to play in the protection of Lake
Winnipeg, he said.
Discussions about ratifying the Accord remain ongoing with the Prairie
provinces, but no timeframe for future signings of the Accord was given.
“We’re getting some very good feedback from the premiers of the Canadian provinces,” Mackintosh said.
“It all depends on how the discussions go so we’re not putting strict
timelines on this one. We recognize
This has been an extremely valuable program both in our school and
in our community. There is a dearth of
available child care spaces rurally, and
there is no licensed child care centre
that provides services to the Clandeboye/Petersfield area.
The Government of Manitoba has
repeatedly expressed its commitment
to increasing child care spaces and
providing child care spaces within
schools.
We offer the following recent examples:
· Deputy Premier Robinson noted
additional achievements in 2014 included supporting health, education,
social services and public safety by:
supporting the creation of 250 new
child-care spaces in Winnipeg, St. Andrews and Oak Lake (December 31,
2014, News Release)
· Minister Irvin-Ross noted that over
the last 15 years, the Manitoba government has created more than 14,000
new spaces, and invested in renovating and creating more than 100 new

that this is a monumental task to get
other governments to all come together and sign on to the Accord.”
Mackintosh said Manitoba’s ultimate goal is to have all jurisdictions
sign both the Accord and individual
child care centres. There are currently
300 child care centres in schools in
communities throughout the province.
(November 27, 2014, News Release)
· “Licensed child care centres in
schools let children move seamlessly
between child care and school within
a safe, secure and nurturing environment. We know that investing in and
protecting child care centres is not
only a smart economic decision, it is
the right decision for Manitoba families,” said Minister Bjornson. (November 27, 2014, News Release)
· “Our government will continue to
work with parents, education leaders and child care partners to ensure
high-quality child care continues to be
accessible and affordable for all Manitoba families,” Minister Bjornson said.
(November 27, 2014, News Release)
We have spoken with other parents
that are interested in working together
to ensure the continuation of a Before
& After School Program at William S.

jurisdiction-based annexes.
The annexes require governments to
create action plans specific to their region so tangible results are achieved.
Dunnottar Mayor Rick Gamble lives
along the shores of Lake Winnipeg
and has become concerned with the
health of the lake in recent years.
“I’m seeing the results of what
is happening,” said Gamble, who
chairs the South Basin Mayors and
Reeves, a group that partnered with
the province when it first announced
the Accord in 2013. The Lake Winnipeg Foundation praised Minnesota
for signing the Accord, but said it is
still new and any tangible results that
come from it remain to be seen.
“We look forward to learning more
about the specific commitments being made by new signatories to the
Accord – in particular, how any actions being promised will be funded
to ensure they are implemented and
sustained,” said co-interim executive
director Marlo Campbell, in an email.
that safe and appropriate care is provided to students.
If the YMCA is no longer interested
in providing services, how can we
work together to find an alternate service provider? We do understand that
the YMCA feels that this program is no
longer financially viable.
In discussion with other parents, we
believe that this can be a financially
viable program if there is a service
provider that is willing to work with
parents and adapt the program to the
student population and community
needs.
Given that there is a group of active
and involved parents that are willing
to work towards securing our Before
& After School program, what support
can you provide?
Thank you for your time. We look forward to working together with all our
community partners, school partners
and government representatives to
ensure the continued programming.

Libau Trading
Post goes down
The old Libau Trading Post sat abandoned
along Hwy. 59 for years, but the old store
and gas station has been finally torn
down. Last Thursday a pile of rubble
could be seen where the store stood
for decades, with only one section
of the building still remaining. In the
last few years the building had been
deteriorating, and covered in graffiti.
Province creates agricultural risk management task force
By Dave Baxter
The province is establishing a new
task force to evaluate existing programs and policies used to help farmers recover from weather-related
challenges such as flooding.
Manitoba Agriculture, Food and
Rural Development Minister Ron
Kostyshyn said the goal of the task
force is to identify more comprehensive and sustainable programs.
“Manitoba’s farmers have told us
existing agricultural programs can’t
adequately address these climate-related challenges, especially as they become more common,” said Kostyshyn
in a press release.
“We are following through on our
commitment to review existing programs and consider options that will
be more predictable, comprehensive
and sustainable for farmers and governments.
“I look forward to hearing from
Manitobans as part of the task force’s
work on this important issue.”
ABM
BM
M
The Agriculture Risk Management
Review Task Force will be chaired by
Arborg-area farmer Bill Uruski, and
include five additional members.
Its work will include holding a series
of public consultations to receive input from Manitoba farmers, organizations and other stakeholders, and
evaluating the effectiveness of current
risk management tools.
The task force will also identify gaps
in existing policies and programs,
recommend new options to improve
farmer’s ability to manage climaterelated risks, and
identify ways to shift government
support from ad hoc assistance to
planned and predictable programs.
“Living in the Interlake, we have
also experienced many of the same
challenges that farmers living in other
parts of the province have faced in recent years,” said Uruski.
“It’s certainly timely to undertake a
review of all available business risk
management tools, while seeking in-

2015.

Paper cranes spread
positivity at the Comp
Xavier John Rosarda, Marilha Candido, and two other Comp students
made paper cranes with positive messages for 1,200 staff and students
at the Comp.
By Austin Grabish
A Grade 12 student at the Comp is
spreading a little piece of positivity
one paper crane at a time.
Xavier John Rosarda recently decided to give his high school peers
an anonymous forum to express life
problems they’re having, as part of a
take-action project for his global issues class.
Rosarda and three partners made
boxes for their peers to drop off notes
about both life hurdles, as well as positive experiences they’ve had.
The point of the project is to make
students aware there is a good mix of
positivity and negativity in their high
school.
“I feel like it’s a great way to give
them like a let out,” said Rosarda.
“Somewhere to give them a place
where they can put in what they think
about it, or what their burden is.”
Rosarda said there was an overwhelming response from students
who wrote about problems that are
keeping them in a bind.
Students wrote about a wide range
of issues but the most disturbing submissions were from students who
wrote about being pressured for sex,
and students who are name called
and harassed by family members, Rosarda said.
To combat the negativity faced by
some students Rosarda made 1,200
paper cranes and wrote a positive
message on each, before handing
them out to all the staff and students
at the Comp.
Rosarda said paper cranes hold special meaning in some cultures and are
supposed to bring peace, hope, love,
good luck, and good fortune to anyone who receives them.
Folding 1,200 pieces of paper and
then writing a compliment on each
was a big undertaking for Rosarda,
who led the project.
“It was about two months of preparation,” Rosarda said.
Rosarda decided to do his project
on student mental health after seeing
a video made by a former Comp student who featured students with an
array of life struggles.
“I really loved her idea,” Rosarda
said.
“So he did that, but then he took it
one step forward and said ‘OK what
are some of the positive things that
people come to school with,’” said
Kevin Lopuck, the social studies
teacher who runs the global issues
course at the Comp.
Lopuck said he’s always impressed
with student’s final projects in the
course because they’re entirely student directed.
Students in the course have to find
an issue they care about, and then
take action on it in order to receive
credit for the course.
Other students in the course are doing projects on everything from debunking stereotypes about feminism,
to petitioning government.

NDP brass have overturned a decision that stopped northern delegates
from voting remotely in the upcoming
March leadership race.
Delegates in Thompson, The Pas,
Swan River, Flin Flon and Kewatinook
will now be able to cast their vote for
the party’s next leader remotely, the
NDP provincial council decided Sunday.
“This will empower northerners,”
said leadership hopeful Steve Ashton
at a news conference.
Ashton, who is the MLA for Thompson, said he has many supporters in
Northern Manitoba and submitted a
petition last Monday to the provincial
council demanding it overturn its decision to not accommodate northern
voters.
Premier Greg Selinger and leadership candidate Theresa Oswald supported the petition and said all voters
should be accommodated.
But delegates from communities
outside of the five northern areas
won’t have the option to vote remotely.
NDP spokesman Ben Johnson said
only the five communities were part
of the provincial council’s discussion
on Sunday.
Johnson said delegates in other areas of the province usually travel
down to Winnipeg for the party’s annual convention.
“Generally folks come to conventions,” Johnson said.
There are over 12,000 NDP members
across the province, but only a fraction of that number will actually vote
in the upcoming convention.
Names of delegates who are eligible to vote will be released on Feb. 2,
Johnson said.
The NDP’s initial decision to not allow satellite voting had caused a fuss
last week in the party.
Ashton and others were upset because in 2009 remote voting was allowed at its leadership convention.
Parrty president Ellen Olfert said remote voting couldn’t happen this year
because the leadership race is part of
the party’s annual convention, but
rules changed after Ashton’s petition
reached the party’s executive, who
was then forced to vote on the matter.
Selinger, Oswald, and Ashton are all
fighting to be Manitoba’s next NDP
leader.
The NDP leadership convention is in
early March.

Your Wedding
Ceremony, officiant, and reception
It’s never too early to reserve
Have you made the big decision to get married? Then
there’s no time to lose, especially with regard to the venue
for both the ceremony and the reception. It’s no secret that
the best dates get snapped up quickly, especially for the
most beautiful settings. Even the services of the marriage
officiant should be reserved early.
The first step is to determine whether you want a religious or civil wedding. Then comes the choice of reception
venue. The possibilities abound: reception hall, conference centre, restaurant, hotel, country inn, golf club, outfit-

The legalities
You want to unite your destinies
abroad? Find out about marriage legalities in your destination country so
you can be sure your union is legally

You and your fiancé should also discuss a marriage contract that clarifies
your financial contributions and responsibilities to each other, especially
if either of you has children from another marriage. It may not seem very
romantic, or one of you may feel the
other is preparing to abandon the
marriage before it even gets started,
but that’s not what it’s all about. A
prenuptial agreement shows that you
take marriage seriously, as a legal and
moral commitment. A future spouse
who is well informed before saying “I
do” is a worthy counterpart.

Four smart ways to invite your guests to table
What you give your guests to
eat at your wedding reception
shouldn’t be decided lightly,
especially as the meal generally swallows up a large part of
the wedding budget. Here are a
few options.
1. A banquet. This is the classic wedding dinner format. It’s
often preceded by a cocktail
reception with appetizers and
a cash- or open bar. The meal,
which includes several courses, is served to guests at their
tables by wait staff. The cost
varies according to the number
of courses and the choice and
variety of dishes on offer.
2. Tapas. It’s possible to replace the traditional three
course meal with tapas, or as
sorted samples of different
dishes. These can be a meal in
themselves when served at the
table and in sufficient quantities.
3. A cocktail party. This format involves an informal seating plan that allows guests to
circulate and nibble on a variety of finger foods throughout
the eve
ning. It’s a great way
to encourage mingling among
your guests.
4. A buffet. Simple and affordable, a buffet has the advantage
of offering a wider variety of
food. Guests get to serve themselves, according to their specific tastes.
Discuss the different options
with the person responsible for
the reception. Whatever format
you choose, always provide
options for the children and
ask guests about allergies, intolerances, and dietary laws.
Think about whether you want
to offer an open bar or a cash
bar, and whether you want to
serve a dessert in addition to
your wedding cake. These days,

Your Wedding
The 12 essentials
of a dream wedding
A wedding is the event of a lifetime. This special day
has to be perfect, hence the importance of taking care
of even the smallest of organizational details. You don’t
want to forget anything, whether it’s a reservation, a fitting, or a trial run for your menu and hairstyle. Here’s a
checklist of the 12 key elements you’ll need to take care
of along the path to your dream wedding.
1. The ceremony, the officiant, and the reception
Are you going to have a civil or religious wedding?
Have you asked your best friend to unite you in wedlock? And will the reception be in the country, on a
cruise ship, or in a hotel ballroom? Make sure the location you choose can easily accommodate all your guests.
You’ll also want to think about signing a marriage
contract or prenuptial agreement.
2. The meal and the wedding cake
There are loads of things to think about when
organizing the meal: the format; the menu; a children’s menu; the bar; and the wedding cake. Say,
why not set up a candy bar? And don’t forget to ask
about your guests’ food allergies.
3. The atmosphere
What theme will you choose to set the
tone for your wedding: a colour, a culture, a historical period? Which DJ will
get your guests out on the dance floor?
Will you surprise everyone with a unique
first dance?
4. Photographer

you for this celebration. Remember to in-

Wedding Flowers
dicate the theme and dress code. And do think about
including self-addressed stamped envelopes for those
essential RSVPs.
6. Wedding bands
Your wedding bands are the symbols of your love;
choose them with care. Do you both want gold, silver,
or with diamonds? Discreet or extravagant? With or
without an engraving?
7. Beauty appointments
Hairstyle, manicure, waxing, and makeup: leave no
thing to chance if you want to be stunning on your big
day. Make your appointments for just the right time;
you don’t want your roots to be visible under your veil!
8. The dress, suit, and accessories
The outfits of bride, groom, and wedding party should
be coordinated. Will you be a vision in white or will you
choose to add a colourful note? And will the perfect
dress feature something old, something new, something
borrowed, and something blue?
9. Flowers and decorations
Have you chosen a colour scheme for your flowers and
decorative accessories? What are your favourite flowers? How will the tables be dressed?
10. Transportation
Will you arrive by boat, car, horse-drawn carriage,
or maybe even by parachute? Whatever your choice,
be sure to take your dress and the weather into
consideration.
11. Guest favours
A personalized trinket, a gourmet sample, or a home
decor object: have you found the perfect wedding favour to thank your guests for joining you?
12. The honeymoon
A truly idyllic honeymoon shouldn’t break your budget. Are you tempted by an exotic island or a vibrant
city? Choose the destination and the timing carefully to
stay in line with your means.
Get out your calendar, get
set, and reserve!
Make your reservations early in order to
secure the top experts in
every domain. Remember
that their talents are in big
demand.

the caterer serves. The theme can be
a colour or combination of colours, an
era or a season, a country or a culture,
an object or a shared passion. Above
all, it should reflect both your personalities.
Entertainment and music
If you hire an entertainer along with
your DJ or musicians, you’ll have
more fun at your own wedding. You’ll
both be able to circulate amongst
your guests, and there won’t be any
uncomfortable lulls. A good DJ is a facilitator who can adapt to the age and
tastes of the guests and keep the momentum going. Just be sure that anyone you hire can entertain according
to your theme.
Some ideas for surprising your guests
• Plan a unique arrival at the reception.
• Set up a photo booth with wacky
accessories.
• Provide a guest book that can be
a decorative item in your home after
the reception.
• Work out a dance routine to perform together or with your wedding
party.
• Have a karaoke machine for later
on, at the reception.
• Release disposable lanterns into
the sky when it gets dark, or plan
some fireworks.
• Hire a magician, a croupier with
casino tables, or a caricaturist to en
tertain your guests.
• Serve custom cocktails, poured
by a professional flair bartender who
can juggle bottles and do some spectacular bartending tricks.

Quiz night coming to the Comp
By Austin Grabish
A group of Comp students want you
to put on your thinking caps and get
prepared to be quizzed.
The students are putting on a quiz
night fundraiser to raise cash for
building supplies they will use when
they venture overseas to Ecuador on a
school-building trip next summer.
The two-hour game night on Feb.
18 will quiz participants on everything from sports, to celebrities, to TV
theme songs, and there will also be a
dedicated trivia section on Ecuador.
The roughly 20 Grade 10 and 11 students putting on the event are hoping
to start generating some public interest about their trip, and have already
set a fundraising goal for the night.
“We’re hoping to make a couple
thousand, obviously the more the better,” said Grade 11 student Tessa Morelli.
Students going on the trip have a
hefty price tag to pay. Me to We, the
social enterprise running the trip, said
a trip to Ecuador will cost $3,995 per
student.
But none of the funds raised at quiz
night will pay for individual student
trips. All funds raised will pay for
building supplies, Morelli said.
The quiz night will be open to everyone, but folks are encouraged to come
with a group of five to eight people if
they can, as teams will be competing
against other groups.
But Morelli said individuals don’t
need to fret if they can’t put a team
together.
“If you don’t have a team you can
easily join with someone else,” Morelli
said.
The quiz night fundraiser is the student’s first ‘big’ fundraiser since signing up for the trip last year.
Grade 11 student Amanda Allardice
said she’s been excited about the trip
for some time.
Her sister Meagan went to Kenya in
2012 on a school-building trip with
the Comp, and that inspired her to
sign up for the Ecuador trip.
“I just like the way that she came
back and her whole perspective was
changed, and she thought of everything so differently,” Allardice said.
“So I’ve been excited since she came
home to go on my own trip.”
In addition to building a school in
Ecuador students will learn about
women’s rights, indigenous rights,

and issues surrounding access to education in the country.
Morelli said quiz night will be a
night filled with fun.
“A great atmosphere, a fun time, lots
of different people mingling together,” Morelli said.
Quiz night takes place Feb. 18 from
7–9 p.m. at the Comp’s cafeteria.
Tickets are $10 each and will be
available at the door.
The Comp is located at 221 Mercy St.
in Selkirk.
Amphibex program ready to hit the ice
Officials say ice on
the river is thicker
than last year
By Dave Baxter
The Amphibex program is set to
go in southern Manitoba, and officials who run the program said even
though people see a lot less snow than
last winter, that doesn’t mean they
don’t have to get out and start breaking the ice.
Darrell Kupchick, director of operations for North Red Waterway Maintenance said people will soon see ice
cutters and Amphibex ice breakers
out on the Red River, as they will begin at the end of Main near Netley
Creek, and work their way towards
Selkirk.
Ice cutting machines are set to begin
work on the river on Feb. 9, while Amphibex ice breakers will start on Feb.
16.
Kupchick said he knows that some
people likely believe there is no danger of flooding or ice-jams this year
because there is far less snow than
last year, but he said people should
not be fooled by what they see.
He said ice on the Red River is actually twice as thick as it was at this
time last year, and there is still a lot of
winter left to go.
“We have heard comments that
there is no snow, but it’s only the end
of January and we are only a couple
of blizzards away from a serious problem,” said Kupchick.
“If we get a couple of storms we are
in bad shape because we have thick
ice, so you are setting yourself up for a
bad situation.
“We don’t have a crystal ball to know
what is going to happen. So we have
to get out there and break that ice.”
He said as crews work their way up
the river towards Selkirk they will tag
ice fishing shacks, and once they are
tagged owners will have two weeks to
either move them farther up stream,
or remove them.
He said they try to work in a way that
minimizes hassle for ice fishermen.
“Is it being done as effectively as we
can, while minimizing impact,” said
Kupchick.
RECORD FILE PHOTO BY DAVE BAXTER
22-tonne Amphibex machines are set to begin breaking ice in Southern
Manitoba to prevent flooding and ice-jams.
“We just tag the ones that will affect
us in the next two weeks, and they
have two weeks to move them.
“We’re not saying it’s the end of ice
fishing season, because it’s definitely
not.”
He said it takes about four weeks
to complete the ice breaking job, and
they are right on schedule with their
start dates.
He said they have to start at the beginning of February, as there is always
the possibility of a spring weather
starting early in March.

Funny man happy to support West St. Paul Lions Club
By Dave Baxter
Brent Butt is feeling a wave of momentum after the success of the Corner Gas movie, which came out in December.
And the Canadian funny man will
ride that momentum into Manitoba
this February, for a show that will support the West St. Paul Lions Club.
The Laugh Your Butt Off comedy
show will see Butt, who is best known
for his time on the hit Canadian sitcom Corner Gas, bring his stand-up
comedy to Winnipeg’s Pantages Playhouse Theatre on Feb 21.
Money raised from the show will
help the West St. Paul Lions Club continue their generous charitable work.
In an exclusive interview with the
Selkirk Record, Butt said 2014 was one
of the busiest, but also one of the best
years of his career.
“It was a crazy year,” said Butt. “I had
two movies come out, and I did two
tours, but it’s been a whole lot of fun,
so it’s all good.”
He said although he expected a good
response when Corner Gas: The Movie was released, it still surpassed his
expectations.
It was the first time the crew from
the fictional town of Dog River had
been on screen since the popular
show ended back in 2009.
“I wouldn’t say the popularity of the
movie totally surprised me because
ever since the show ended people
would ask when we were doing a
movie.
“So I knew there would be interest
and we had high expectations, but the
response still surpassed our expectations.”
Butt said Corner Gas may have ended years ago, but it’s often the one
thing people want to talk about when
they meet him.
“And the crazy thing is they talk
about certain scenes or episodes, so
the fans are so knowledgeable about
the show.”
Corner Gas was based in a fictional
small town in Saskatchewan, but it
was a big deal all over Canada.
“One of the reasons we were so good
is cause we did good across all demographics,” said Butt.
“On any given week our highest per
capita ratings could be in rural Saskatchewan, or downtown Toronto.”
He said he is especially excited for
the show in Winnipeg, because it will
help the West St. Paul Lions Club.
“It’s always nice when comedy and

charity can come together,” said Butt.
“I’m making a living doing what I
love, and in this case it’s coinciding
with a very worthwhile cause.
“So this show is really a win-win.”
He said he tends to stay away from
some of the crude humour that is increasingly popular these days, and instead just tries to have good clean fun.
“I generally work pretty clean, but
that also depends on what people’s
idea of what clean is.
“Most of what I do could be on network TV, cause that’s just how my
brains works.”
He encourages people to come to his
show in Winnipeg because it supports
the Lions Club, and also because he
believes watching stand-up comedy
in a live venue is still the best way to
enjoy it.
‘We’re social animals, and we like to
be with other people and feed off each
other.”
Brent Butt will perform at the Laugh
Your Butt Off comedy show Feb. 21 at
the Pantages Playhouse Theatre.
Local comedian Jimmy Mack will
also perform at the show.
Promoter Nancy Grubiak is putting
on the show, and money raised will

Bezan pleased with federal
funding for holodomor tour
News Release
Selkirk, MB Member of Parliament
James Bezan (Selkirk-Interlake) is
pleased to share news of $1.5 million
in federal funding for the Holodomor
National Awareness Tour.
The Canada Ukraine Foundation
will receive an investment of $1.5
million from Citizenship and Immigration Canada for the cross-Canada
tour. The project will educate Canadians of all ages and backgrounds on
this tragic historical event and highlight the importance of our shared
values of freedom, democracy, human
rights, and the rule of law.
“I want to thank the federal government for this funding, along with
the Canada Ukraine Foundation for
developing this educational project,”
stated MP Bezan. “This initiative will
increase public awareness and education of the genocide known as Holodomor. With this increase in public
awareness, we can work to stop these
types of atrocities from occurring in
the future.”
The Holodomor was a deliberate
starvation of the Ukrainian people,
premeditated by the Soviet Union. It
was headed by Joseph Stalin during
1932-1933, as a means to undermine
the nationalistic pride of the Ukrainian people. It served to control and
further oppress the Ukrainian people
by denying them the basic essentials
they needed to survive and it is estimated that upwards of 10 million
Ukrainians perished in this genocide.
“I am proud to be a part of this government who supports the UkrainianCanadian community,” expressed MP
Bezan. “My Private Member’s Bill in
2008 established that the Holodomor
was an act of genocide, making Canada the first western country to recognize this fact.”
“Canada has and will always stand
with the Ukrainian people,” concluded MP Bezan. “I look forward to seeing this educational tour in schools
across the country.

Einarson reaches Scotties provincial final
By Brian Bowman
Kerri Einarson’s run at the Manitoba
Scotties Tournament of Hearts was a
spectacular one.
Gimli’s Einarson, who curls out of
East St. Paul, reached the finals of the
provincial women’s curling championship before losing 5-2 to St. Vital’s
Jennifer Jones on Sunday in Winkler.
Jones led 2-1 after five ends and then
Einarson tied it up in the sixth. In the
eighth, Jones scored a key pair to go
up 4-2.
Einarson’s hammer shot in the ninth
failed to get deep enough, allowing
Jones a steal of one. Jones then ran
Einarson, and her team of third Selena Kaatz, second Liz Fyfe, and lead
Kristin MacCuish, out of rocks in the
10th.
The win gave Jones, the reigning
Olympic champion, her seventh provincial women’s curling title.
For Einarson, meanwhile, this was
the second consecutive year that she
reached the women’s provincial final.
Last year, she lost her final game 6-2
to Chelsea Carey.
Einarson punched her ticket to the
final on Sunday morning after a 5-3
semifinal victory over Assiniboine
Memorial’s Barb Spencer. The turning
point came in the ninth when Einarson stole two after Spencer was light
on a draw for one.
Einarson was perfect in the round
robin, finishing with a 7-0 record. That
earned her a berth into the Page playoff 1 vs. 1 game against Jones on Saturday evening.
Jones won that matchup 9-6 after
jumping out to a 5-2 lead after just
three ends.
Einarson definitely made headlines
as she reached the provincial final.
But she also was the talk of the provincials earlier in the week when she
scored an extremely rare eight-ender
in the seventh end of her first game
against Dauphin’s Tiffany McLean.
Einarson won the game 16-3 but history was made in that one end. Einarson had never scored eight in an end
before and many believe it was the
first eight-ender in Scotties provincial
history.

Selkirk’s Fishermen lead KJHL standings
By Brian Bowman
The Selkirk Fishermen had two
tough Keystone Junior Hockey League
tests last week with games against Arborg and Peguis.
It’s safe to say the Fishermen passed
those tests with flying colours.
Selkirk defeated the Ice Dawgs 5-1 in
Arborg on Jan. 21 and then destroyed
the Juniors 8-2 at home on Sunday
evening.
In the lopsided win over Peguis, Selkirk snapped a 1-1 second-period tie
with four goals in just under five minutes. The Fishermen then added three
unanswered goals in the third period.
Cory Balcaen led Selkirk with two
goals while Scott Thomas, Jeremy
Pachkowsky, Griffin Steeves, and Karl
Fey each had a goal and an assist. Daniel Fiebelkorn and Dylan PainchaudNiemi scored Selkirk’s other goals.
Brandon Paradoski had three assists
for the Fishermen, who outshot the
Juniors 56-20.
Jesse Flett and Tyrell Armstrong
were the only Peguis players to put
the puck past Fishermen goalie Bretton Fewchuk.
In the win over Arborg, Pachkowsky
gave the Fishermen a 1-0 first-period
lead with a shorthanded goal and
then he made it 2-0 just 42 seconds
into the second period.
Thomas notched a power-play goal
before Jesse Chupka scored Arborg’s
only goal.
The Fishermen came right back,
however, with goals from Drayton
Mendrun and Steeves.
Jordan Liske was good in goal for
Selkirk, making 37 saves.
With the two wins last week, the
Fishermen are now 19-6-0-1 and in
first place in the KJHL standings
with 39 points. That’s two points better than Arborg and North Winnipeg,
each with 18-8-0-1 records.
Selkirk will visit the much-improving Lundar Falcons on Friday (8 p.m.)
and then will host the St. Malo Warriors on Saturday (7:30 p.m.).

Steelers slump to three straight losses last week
By Brian Bowman
The Selkirk Steelers have had better
weeks.
Selkirk lost all three of its games last
week – getting outscored 11-5 in the
process – in Manitoba Junior Hockey
League action.
The Steelers capped off a winless
week after a 3-1 loss to the Winnipeg
Blues at the MTS Iceplex on Sunday
afternoon.
“It was a tough week,” admitted
Steelers’ head coach Wayne Bartley.
Selkirk mustered just 15 shots in the
loss to the Blues and Steelers’ forward
Justin Derlago scored Selkirk’s lone
goal in the second period. Derlago
has been playing very well in recent
games.
“It was actually a pretty good game,”
Bartley said. “There weren’t a lot of
shots on net – everything was kept
to the outside in both directions.
Both teams played fairly tight…and
I thought it was our best game out of
the three.”
Scott Rowswell scored a first-period goal for Winnipeg while Kamerin
Nault and Jackson Keane tallied in
the third. Keane’s goal was an emptynetter.
Last Friday, the Steelers were de-

JV girls improving on the court
By Brian Bowman
While the end of January will be a quiet period
for the Selkirk Royals’ junior varsity girls’ basketball team, February’s calendar will be a busy
one.
The Royals were off during exams and then
will take part in a Fort Richmond tournament
this weekend. It will be the first of three consecutive weekend tournaments for the Royals.
After a slow start, Royals’ head coach Sue
Gilmour has seen quite a bit of improvement
from her squad.
“Since the start of the season to our (last game)
against Garden City, even the parents are commenting to as how much the girls have improved,” Gilmour noted.
The Royals are doing a much better job in recent weeks pushing the ball upcourt.
“We’re starting to move the ball better,”“Gilmour said. “We’re getting out of that junior high
(mentality) where everyone has to dribble the
ball 30 times. We’re getting into the faster-paced
(game) where we move the ball offensively.
That’s something we struggled with in the first
part of the season.”
Defensively, the Royals are starting to make
the right adjustments. Playing a zone defence
has worked well for Selkirk, said Gilmour.
“The obstacle that we’ve had is that we’ve only
had four practices since the start of the season with the entire team at practice,” Gilmour
sighed. “That makes it a little more challenging
because they’re certain concepts that you want
to teach, but you want to teach them when the
entire team is there.
“That really limits us to what we can teach.”
The Royals are currently 1-4 in KPAC, with
their lone victory coming against MBCI by a 4132 score.
“We have played Kildonan East twice, which
are probably No. 2 in KPAC, and Garden City,
which are the two toughest teams in KPAC,”
Gilmour explained. “We have played the tougher teams more than the teams that we are more
equal to, so hopefully (our record) changes after
we come back from the exam break.”
Selkirk had a good battle with the talented
Garden City Fighting Gophers, losing 71-41, on
Jan. 20. Garden is widely considered to be one of
the top teams in the province.
“Thirty (point loss) sounds like a lot but we actually played quite well,” Gilmour noted.“I don’t
think the score was indicative of how well we
played. Garden City is just that good.”
Garden City is an extremely good shooting
team.
“We were challenging shots,” Gilmour recalled. “But they were just hitting them.”
Away from KPAC play, Selkirk has fared pretty well in
tournaments so far this season, finishing fourth at a University of Manitoba event and later winning the consolation side of a Sisler Spartans tourney.
Selkirk will resume league play Tuesday when it hosts
River East. Tip-off is 6 p.m.
Royals buck Miles Mac
By Brian Bowman
The Selkirk Royals wanted to go into the exam
break on a high note.
And they did exactly that.
It doesn’t get any better than scoring four goals
in the third period of a 4-1 home victory over the
Miles Mac Buckeyes.
Selkirk stunned Miles Mac with that strong
third period, highlighted by two goals from
Courtney Sorokopud-Jones. Mckenzie Pelletier
and Natalie Bennett scored Selkirk’s other goals.
Nadia Zelych assisted on two of those Selkirk
goals.
Kali Solmundson, meanwhile, scored a firstand third-period goal for Miles Mac. Shayne
Smellie made 34 saves in the win.
On Jan. 20, the Royals were downed 4-1 by the
West Kildonan Wolverines.
Bennett scored Selkirk’s lone goal in the
first period, assisted by Sorokopud-Jones and
Makenzie Peters.
Destyni Chiborak scored twice for West
Kildonan while Brittney Driedger and Alyssa
Kostek had the other Wolverines’ goals.
Smellie made 24 saves in the loss.
With the split last week, the Royals are now
3-11-2-1 and have nine points on the season.
Selkirk will host the CLC Scorpions on Monday in East Selkirk. Game time is 3:45 p.m. The
Portage Collegiate Institute Saints will then visit
the Royals next Thursday (4:15 p.m.) in St. Andrews.

You can only have one Mother,
Loving, kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be so true to you.
For all her love and kindness,
She asked nothing in return.
For those of you who have a Mother,
Treasure her with care;
For you will never know her value,
Till you see that she’s not there.
To hear her voice, to see her smile,
To sit and talk with her for a while.
To be together in the same old way,
Would be our dearest wish today.

Down here we mourn, but not in vain,
For up in heaven we will meet again.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our
beloved Albert. Albert passed away very peacefully on December

Peacefully, on Sunday, January 25, 2015, at the Selkirk Betel Home, Mike Belak, aged 79 years, of
Selkirk, MB, passed away.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, February 8, 2015, in the Gilbart Funeral Chapel, Selkirk,
MB, at 4:00 p.m. with The Ven. Godfrey Mawejje officiating.
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing
of Paul Ward on January 23, 2015 at the age of 55 after a brief
battle with cancer. Paul will be lovingly missed by his partner Patricia (DeGagne); mother Anne (LaRue); brothers Robert (Denise),
Darren and Steve (Angie); and his extended family.
Paul was born in Winnipeg on May 25th, 1959 and was raised
in Selkirk. After graduating from the Comp, he pursued a career
as a radio broadcaster. After broadcast school in Saskatoon, Paul
landed his first job at KX96 in Brandon using the on air name of
“Paul Bradley”. After a few years in Brandon, Paul moved to Fort Frances and hosted a very successful morning show for many years.
Upon returning to Winnipeg to work at KISS 97, Paul decided to leave broadcasting and embark
on his next career, truck driving. He attended driver training school where he acquired his Class 1
license. After a few years of driving long haul routes and a short time at McDiarmid Lumber, Paul
moved to Olympic Builders. Olympic was a work place that he truly loved and where he forged
many great friendships. His second family continued to shower him with love, kindness and support
throughout his illness.
Paul’s had many passions including music, animals and motorcycles. He loved his Harley and would
ride as much as he could. During his time in Fort Frances, Paul helped organize and promote numerous rides for local charities.
Paul and Pat had many animal friends and he would talk about them like a proud father, especially
his best pal, Sweetpea. The furry pack will miss their master greatly.
Paul will truly be missed. Race the rain, ride the wind, chase the sunset.
Thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Riverview Health Centre for their care and support.
A memorial gathering will take place on Friday, January 30th at 274 Talbot Ave., beginning at 7 p.m.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Humane Society or other animal charity of your
choice.

OBITUARY
OBITUARY
Paul Henry (Harry) Wilson
With profound sadness we regret to announce the passing of
Paul Henry Wilson last Friday evening, January 23rd, 2015 at the
Grace Hospital in Winnipeg.
Paul, age 76, passed peacefully after spending his last hours
in the company of his partner, our beloved Lucy Nickerson. Paul
is survived by his brothers Jim Wilson (Sharon), Bob Wilson, and
sister Marie Thompson (Raymond); his children Paul L. Wilson
(Colleen), Michael Wilson (Nina Borgensen), Susan Lissoway
(Arnie), and Lynn Friesen (Jared). Paul greatly enjoyed the
company of all of his grandchildren: Kathryn, Shannon, Allison,
Samantha, Joshua, Evan, Ellen, and Jesse, and his greatgrandchildren Sam, Ray and Bennett. Paul was predeceased by
his spouse of 46 years, Laurena Daisy Wilson who passed away
May 3, 2007. Paul was born in Hamilton, August 17, 1938 to John
Harvey Wilson and Margaret Gertrude (Gaymer).
Paul married Laurena December 16, 1960 in Winnipeg and moved with the armed forces to several
locations including Chicoutimi Quebec and Chatham, New Brunswick. As a young couple, life was
adventurous following a bush pilot’s career. When returning to Winnipeg in 1965, Paul began to work
as a pilot for Trans Air culminating in a long and distinguished career before retiring as a 767 Captain
from Air Canada at age 60. Paul and Laurena raised their family in Winnipeg and together they
enjoyed travel, life and friends. After retirement, Paul began building an airplane at their home in
Clandeboye, so he could continue to fly.
We will miss this character who enjoyed a good joke and spending time with his family and
friends. Some of our fondest family memories are of our summers spent at Camp Kakepitay and in
Clandeboye with all the grandchildren tubing in Medicine Creek, fishing and flying the SeaRey around
Petersfield neighbourhood.

Annie Gerylo
Annie Gerylo passed away peacefully at the age of 87 on
Saturday, January 24, 2015 at Seven Oaks Hospital surrounded
by many of her family.
Annie was born in Lanigan, Saskatchewan, October 5, 1927 to
Stephan and Mary Skorlatowski. She grew up on the family farm.
She married Walter Gerylo, June 28, 1947 moving to Walkleyburg,
MB thus beginning a union of 41 years. Their marriage was
blessed with two children, Leonard and Randy, eventually followed
by further blessings of four grandchildren. She took great joy in
living on the family farm where she tended her vegetable garden
and flower beds with her faithful companion Mitzi by her side. She
loved having guests and always made sure they were well fed
before an evening of cards. One of the ways she showed love was
through feeding her loved ones, whether they be family, friends,
her caregivers, birds, or cats.
Annie was predeceased by her husband, Walter in 1988; her loving parents, Steve and Mary; three
sisters and several brothers.
Annie will be lovingly remembered by her family Leonard (Joan), Randy (Deborah); grandchildren,
Kyle, Christopher, Meagan, and Alexander. As well her one sister Jenny and one brother Johnny
(Hope) and sister-in-law Julie of Saskatchewan. Annie will also be lovingly remembered by brotherin-law Harry (Theresa) and family, sister-in-law Pearl (Johnny) and family, and sister-in-law Lily and
by many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, consider making donations to Canadian Cancer Society, Manitoba Division.
Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held on Thursday, January 29, 2015 at
1:00 p.m. in the Gilbart Funeral Chapel, Selkirk, MB.
OBITUARY
Henry Louis (Buddy) Sinclair, Jr.
March 13, 1952 – January 22, 2015
Peacefully, after a brief battle with a stroke, our uncle, brother,
godfather, friend, and relative Buddy started his journey to the
west.
He is remembered by the many he teased and loved so much,
especially his brother and sister Murray and Diane, his sister-inlaw Katherine and his brother-in-law Walter. Buddy was a proud
relative of many families – either through blood or love – and
these include members of the Fleury, Sinclair, Shrupka, Mostowy,
Thomas, Nickoshie, Peebles, and McCorrister families – among
many others. He will particularly be missed by his nieces Kathy,
Laurie, Lisa, Dené, Gazheek, his nephew Niigaan (Jamie), and his
great-nieces Anitra, Megan, Amanda, and Sarah – all of whom he
cared for and constantly brought presents to. One of the proudest
moments of his life was when he became a godfather to Marcy and
Brandon. He will also be missed by his close friends George, Rose, Henrietta and Al. Buddy was also
predeceased by his grandparents James and Catherine (who raised him), his parents Henry Sr. and
Florence, and his brother Richard.
Buddy was born and raised in Selkirk, where he went to school. He started work very early in life,
delivering milk for Lakeland Dairies then spent most of his life working at Motorcoach Industries
and Flyer. He was a proud member of Winnipeg Branch No. 1 of the Royal Canadian Legion and
Winnipeg’s West End community, living on Furby Street for over thirty years. He was an avid Blue
Bombers fan who was always sharing his love for movies and sports. He was a cyclist, often trekking
several times from Winnipeg to Selkirk throughout the summer to stay at Auntie Dianne’s house. He
loved spending time with family more then anything. One of Buddy’s favorite things to do was to attend
annual family reunions at the St. Peter’s Church where he would love to help with the kid’s races.
Everyone who met Buddy would walk away with a story and a laugh. He carried a gentle, beautiful
and generous spirit.
The family would like to send thanks to the staff at the Health Sciences Centre for their care and
support during the final days of Buddy’s life. They would also like to give special thanks to Lorena and
Jeanette who helped Jamie a great deal while he stayed with Buddy in the hospital.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Buddy’s name to the Children’s Hospital Foundation
of Manitoba at CE501-840 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3A 1S1 or at: http://goodbear.
mb.ca.
A traditional wake was held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 24, 2015 and a traditional service and
feast was held at noon on Sunday, January 25, 2015. Both were held at Gilbart’s Funeral Home in
Selkirk, 309 Eveline Street with interment at St. Peter’s Churchyard to follow. All are invited to bring
food that Buddy would love and memories to share.
