Nicaragua school this Friday
By Marlene Ness
Cheryl Johnston, Grade 3-4 teacher at AEMS, described the ongoing classroom efforts to raise social
awareness in students. “In Social
Studies, we have been researching about different countries, and
talking about children’s rights and
freedoms,” explained Johnston. “In
some countries those basic rights are
not being met. When we came to
Nicaragua, we discovered a country
that needed help.”
During the interview, students raised
their hands eagerly to offer up facts
on Nicaragua, creating a vivid snapshot of the educational system there.
“Only one out of ten people can
read or write,” said one male grade
3 student.
“Only kids age 6 to 12 go to school,”
said another grade 4 girl.
“Children who do go to school only
finish an average of five years of
school,” added one female grade 3
student.
“And there are barely any schools

the students have been helping to

in its final form.
Noventis Credit Union recently
launched a new branding campaign that has as its main slogan
‘North of Ordinary,’ and which also
includes members’ ‘Get to know
us’ booklet with a “Hi! We’re Noventis” splash image that conveys
the organization’s downhome demeanor.
“I think that it helps to further define us in that it is a statement of
what kind of community-based organization we are,” McKnight explained.
When one glances at the new
branding material, it quickly becomes clear that it has succeeded
in packaging Noventis in a way that

is that it is heavily values-based.
“As a credit union, we are focused
on answering to members, so we
strive to reflect community values.
In fact, everything we do is rooted
in community,” Noventis communications and marketing manager
Adrienne Percy said, in agreement
with McKnight’s statement.
That community-based approach
is precisely what differentiates a
values-oriented place like Noventis
from the more rigid financial institutions out there, which is what was
behind the creation of the credit
union movement in the first place.

The husband and wife team feature the
internationally-known line of Leanin’
Tree gifts and cards. But that is just the
start because they also carry everything
from men and women’s clothing, toys
and snacks to art, jewellery, signs, magazines and cottage supplies.
In fact, there is everything but the kitchen sink - and it could be there too.
“Besides Leanin’ Tree, we obtain merchandise from liquidators, sell on consignment and acquire items from a small
number of estate sales,” Lorne Pick said.
“That enables us to offer affordable prices. You can buy kids toys for 50 cents,
headphones for a dollar and golf shirts
for $5.95.”

Pick has done this
before. He operated a gift and print
shop in Winnipeg’s

until he and Elaine
settled in Gimli.
He is originally
from Surrey, B.C.
while she is from
Western Manitoba,
and they met when
she walked into his life as a customer at
the Winnipeg store.
The Picks were drawn together not only
by mutual attraction, but also by their
parallel careers as freelance writers. “I
ran away from Surrey at 15 and travelled
and wrote freelance magazine articles
on general topics,” Lorne Pick said. “I
was in California, Nevada and Texas before I arrived in Manitoba about 10 years
ago.”
Because of their backgrounds, the magazine rack at their new Gimli store could
be a magnet for the local writing and arts
crowd. Among the titles on the shelves
are Border Crossings, Manitoba’s literary
magazine; plus the Prairie Journal of Canadian Literature, Canadian Stories; the
Ryerson Review of Journalism, Canadian
Screen and The Dancer.
Elaine is also a jewellery-maker whose
creations are featured in the store alongside jewellery crafted by Gimli’s Venessa
Park. The Picks are planning a year-round
operation and the store is currently open
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through
Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
“We will likely extend our summer hours
as the season progresses,” Lorne said.
Having lived in Gimli for the past few
years, the Picks are hoping for a long
run for their store. “We came here because we have friends in Gimli and we
love small towns,” said Lorne, “So far,
the store has had a great response even
before our grand opening on Saturday,
May 16.”

On Saturday May 9th, five local Elvis
Presley tribute artists will be shaking
up the Selkirk Memorial Hall with a
special Mother’s Day concert.
Concert organizer and 15 year veteran Elvis tribute artist, Dave Green,
commented that the Mother’s Day
Concert is one of his all-time favourite events. “This is the fourth year
we’ve done it in Selkirk. It’s always
very special; we get moms of all ages
attending!”

Saturday’s event will feature five ‘Elvii’ (--that’s right, the plural of Elvis
is Elvii, Green hastened to point out).
One Elvis tribute artist, Daylin James,
will be coming all the way from
Thunder Bay for Saturday’s concert.
The other four Elvii are local: three
are from Winnipeg, and Green himself is from Moosehorn.

Safe Communities
First, some facts:
Dear Editor,
In the farm community where I grew up everybody knew one another. No one locked their
doors and all the adults kept an eye on the local
children.
1. Marijuana is a controlled substance in Canada.
Nothing I write here should be interpreted as any
kind of licence or encouragement to break the
law.
I was especially grateful for this one winter day
when my dad dropped me off at our country
school. The halls were silent as I walked in. I
could see my breath -- a sure sign the heating was
off. I had not yet learned to read the clock, but I
was sure something was not right.
2. Since 2006 half a million Canadians have been
arrested on marijuana-related charges at an estimated cost to the Canadian public of $500 million.
Venturing outside I tried the teacher’s residence.
Nothing. I waded through snow and through a
hedge to the only house for miles. Fortunately, it
was close to the school.
What a commotion when they found me on their
doorstep! My snow-filled boots were pulled off, I
was wrapped in a blanket and fed hot chocolate.
Then they drove me home.
In the farm community where I live now that notion of looking out for one another is still strong.
My campaign to represent Selkirk-Interlake-Eastman in Parliament has taken me to most of the
municipal councils and many doorsteps. No one
has mentioned crime as a problem. Only once
has the level of policing come up. But I have been
asked about my position on legalization of marijuana.
3. A recent World Health Organization report
says Canada has the highest teen usage of marijuana amongst the countries surveyed.
My priority is protecting our children.
not be better applied to more serious crimes and
the new range of sophisticated cyber crimes that
threaten our welfare.
Ultimately, our safety still comes from looking
out for one another. From using facts not fears
to make our decisions. Had I been afraid of the
neighbours my day might have turned out very
differently in that country school several decades
ago. (So why, was the school deserted that day?
Turns out the teacher broke her glasses and cancelled classes so she could get them repaired. My
parents didn’t know because we had no phone.
Installed the next spring!)
Joanne Levy, Liberal Candidate
Selkirk-Interlake-Eastman
Based on the evidence they are not safe. They are
using a substance that can affect the developing
brain and exposes them to the criminals
that sell it. I believe in the Liberal approach
-- if we pass smart laws that tax and strictly
regulate marijuana, we can better protect
our children, while preventing millions of
dollars from going into the pockets of criminal organizations and street gangs.
There might even be a better impact on
community safety. In 2013 the majority
(67%) of drugrelated offences in Canada
continued to involve marijuana. We have
to wonder whether that time, money, and
effort in policing, courts and jails would

Academy offers tips on safety and security
By Roger Newman
Craft & Vendor Market
The Police Academy is coming to you courtesy of the Village of Dunnottar Age Friendly
Committee.
Although this could be construed as ominous by a few people, the academy is actually a series of seven free afternoon sessions
to help you improve your safety and security inside and outside your home. The three
hour sessions, from 1 to 4 p.m., will run between May 19 and July 2 at the Matlock Recreation Club at 77 Matlock Rd.
“The sessions are open to all age groups and
there are no geographic boundaries limiting
attendance,” says Dunnottar Age Friendly
Chair Jan Legeros who admits the afternoon
times might be most appropriate for older
adults.
Jan Legeros says topics such
as personal and internet safety
will be covered at the sessions
being organized by Dunnottar
Age Friendly.
Legeros said the Police Academy originated
as an RCMP initiative, but the sessions now
offer a wide range of speakers on a variety
of topics. For the Dunnottar sessions, Sgt.
Robert Lockhart of the RCMP will be joined
by such speakers as Gimli pharmacists Ernest
Stefanson and Claire Gillis on medical safety, Noventis Gimli manager Nic Mundey on
banking, retired firefighter Doug Thordarson
on fire safety, and Emergency Measures Coordinator Don Emes on his responsibilities.
“People left saying ‘I wish I had known all
that’ when there was a similar academy in
2013 at the Gimli New Horizons Club,”
Legeros said.
Other topics to be covered by the academy
include home and personal protection, identity theft, internet safety, gambling, power of
attorney, care for dementia patients and safe
driving and scooter riding. With two topics
to be discussed at each session, the dates are
May 19, 26, June 2, 9, 16, 23 and July 2.
On another topic, Dunnottar Age Friendly
is already taking entries for its 2015 Home
Grounds Competition. Cheryl Cohan and
Leah Passler will be the judges while George
Thompson is taking entries at 204-389-5019.

Province to spend more than it receives: budget
Minimum wage up slightly; five-cent tax on cigarette
By Jim Mosher
Finance Minister Greg Dewar presented his first budget last Wednesday.
(The Selkirk MLA was appointed to his
first Cabinet post late last year.)
The over-arching fiscal focus of the
deficit budget is job creation, Dewar
said in his budget speech. He predicted more jobs will be created as the
province invests more than $1 billion
in infrastructure.
A modest tax cut for small business,
an education tax break for seniors,
breaks for students, families, an increase in the minimum wage to $11
from $10.70, extra money for rent for
welfare recipients and other minor inducements.
Financial institutions will face a oneper-cent increase in corporate tax.
Smokers will pay an additional fivecent tax on a single cigarette. There’s
no extra sin tax on booze.
Dewar said Manitoba is leading the
country in jobs growth, having created
20,000 new jobs since the last budget.
And, he said, the government’s plan of
core investments in infrastructure will
keep the momentum on the jobs front.
“For most people, the most important
economic indicator is a job,” he said.
“And here, too, our plan is delivering.
We know our plan is working because
Manitobans are working. In fact, our
rate of employment growth is nearly
four times the national average.”
“We are fixing the roads, creating jobs
and keeping health care strong for
the future,” the finance minister said.
“More people are living and working
in Manitoba than ever before, and
they are earning more to support their
families. Budget 2015 keeps our momentum building.”
According to 2015-16 budget documents, the province will spend
$12.865 million on projected revenues
of $12.354 million. After withdrawals
from its fiscal stabilization fund and
other adjustments, the projected deficit at April 30, 2016 is predicted to be
$421 million, down just $30 million
from the $451-million deficit projected in the 2014-15 budget.
Deficits will be the order of the day
over the next two fiscal years: $328
million in 2016-17 and $185 million
in 2017-18. A $24-million surplus is
projected for 2018-19.
The province’s net debt is projected to
rise to $20.426 billion, up $1.651 billion from the $18.775 billion forecast
for the previous fiscal year.
The government will invest $4.5 billion over the next four years as part of
its core infrastructure investment plan.
Spending on roads, bridges ($747 million), flood protection ($48.5 million)
and municipal infrastructure ($285
million) is projected to top $1 billion
this year.

Editorial Comment
Environment takes backseat to roads and
bridges in latest Manitoba budget
By Jim Mosher
Years ago, then-premier Gary Doer
signaled that his government would
focus on the health of Lake Winnipeg. He created Water Stewardship,
a new department and the first of its
kind in Canada.
In 2003, Doer pledged to do a ‘full
Monty’ on Lake Winnipeg. Later that
year, Doer created Water Stewardship, appointing Steve Ashton to be
its first minister. It was, indeed, a watershed moment, as Ashton took the
reins of a department solely committed to water.
The lake has been on the NDP’s radar since, even though Water Stewardship would eventually merge
with Conservation, perhaps losing
some of the original passion for environmental protection. However,
the latest provincial budget includes
a $2.7-million cut to Conservation
and Water Stewardship. Funding for
research takes an $800,000 hit.
The government’s decision to cut
spending on Conservation and Water
While most departments receive Stewardship must be weighed against

other ecological imperatives.
One would expect some departmental budgets to be cut, even as the latest budget is projected to create a net
deficit of $422 million.
Governments at all levels have
learned that keying on infrastructure
is a winning formula. But that focus,
which does create jobs and acknowledges years of neglect, should not
take a backseat to pressing concerns
about the degradation of our environment.
As premier, Doer recognized that
Manitobans value their natural world.
Has the Selinger government decided that the core focus of government
must simply be job creation, even at
the exclusion of its formerly steely
focus on water quality and quantity?
Most will likely welcome the infrastructure spending commitment.
But some may feel a tinge of regret

You better Belize it!
The Great Kiskadee, a common bird
in Belize. These flycatchers are very
animated and have a great call
By Ric Hornsby
I’m currently sitting in the dining room
at Tutzil Nah Guest Cottages. The town
is called Maya Center, and I’m deep
into the country of Belize. I’m smiling…
I began this tour by flying into Cancun,
Mexico. A quick bus trip had me delivered to Playa del Carmen for a few
days of acclimatizing, walking 5th Avenue, and organizing the next steps of
my escape from the Interlake winter.
Those who know me know that the
nerve disease, Complex Regional Pain
Syndrome, has changed my enjoyment
of winter into something painful, debilitating, and to be avoided at any cost.
So, in mid-December, I escaped.
My first stop in Belize was the town of
Corozal. It is situated near the Mexican
border, and it was an easy bus journey
from Playa del Carmen. It is a good
place to begin a tour of the country.
I spent almost a month in Corozal. I had
stayed here, previously, on a shorter,
faster trip into Belize. I like the town.
I met so many good people, there, that
I had a hard time moving on. My experiences in Corozal were varied, unexpected, and very pleasant. For example, I was invited to spend one night
at a friend’s farm near the tiny town
of Caledonia. It was such an amazing
place that I have to return for another
visit! To wake up with a river, and jungle, on one side, and cane fields on the
other side, is something that is hard to
describe. It was very, very cool!
Corozal isn’t really a tourist destination,
but it is quite affordable, and offers almost everything one might desire for a
location that doesn’t have winter. There
are many restaurants, hotels, bars, and
other distractions to keep oneself occupied. The people I met, both travelers, and residents, created an experience that must be lived. There are so
many facets to this type of travel that
I cannot begin to describe how good
it is. I stayed at the Seabreeze Hotel. I
had stayed there a few years ago, and I
knew it to be good value, clean, friendly, and entertaining!
After my time in Corozal, I took a small
plane to Ambergris Caye, the location
of the town of San Pedro. Madonna
named this island, “La Isla Bonita”, and
she definitely got it right. However, San
Pedro has grown, recently, to the point
of being much too crowded, and busy,
for my liking. So, the next step was to
take a water taxi to Caye Caulker, a
smaller, slower, less expensive, and decidedly more authentic place to while
away the hours on a tropical island. I
had booked into Caye Caulker for two
nights… I stayed for two weeks!
Caye Caulker is a tourist destination.
However, the type of tourist is different from the All Inclusive addicts that
populate most destinations. The motto
of the island is, “Go Slow”, and they
are serious about it. Of course, being
only one mile from the second largest
barrier reef in the world presents many
opportunities for diving, snorkeling,
and all the other water sports you can
imagine. This is a place of many wonders. Please, search the area, and see

what might appeal to you!
My next step was to board a thirty-eight
foot catamaran for the trip to the town
of Placencia. The cruise, hosted by
Raggamuffin Tours, exceeded my expectations. For example, when is the
last time you were asked if you wanted,
“more extra lobster” for lunch? My
hosts were adept at catching, and preparing, the wide variety of seafood we
enjoyed at each meal. We had many
snorkel stops, and the rum flowed every night. Camping each night on
small cayes was another experience I
highly recommend!
Arriving in Placencia, I had not booked
a hotel. So, my taxi driver took me
to a few places before I found Lydia’s
Guest House. As I walked up the stairs
to investigate my potential room, I
was greeted by a number of travelers
whom I had met at previous locations.
I booked in for three nights, and stayed
for ten!
The food, down here, is excellent.
Meals are reasonable in cost and often large enough so that two people
can feast on one order of whatever.
Of course, seafood is common, and so
fresh that one quickly becomes spoiled
to what is offered, even in the best restaurants, back home in Canada.
OK, back to where I am, now. I think
that I’ll tour the Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve, tomorrow. I doubt that I’ll see the
elusive jaguar, but the birds, animals,
and landscapes, will prove worthwhile.
The disease I have prevents me from
moving at what would be considered
a normal speed, so I’ll book a guide
for just myself. I have expectation for
getting a number of photographs of the
fauna of the area. I’ve been very successful, so far.
Belize is a small country. The main language is English; the currency is based
on the US dollar. I’ve heard Belize described as a third-world country, and
I’ve heard it described as a developing
nation. There are some of the World’s
best beaches, jungles, and hotels. There
is everything you could want for in a
place to hide from the winter… and

My next location? I’m not sure, yet.
I have no hard plans. I’m on a walkabout…
*Ric Hornsby, formerly of Arnes, and
a past contributor of nature photography to the Interlake Enterprise, is
currently hiding from winter in the
Central American country of Belize.
For those not familiar with his work,
Ric was a commercial photographer,
in Winnipeg, for many years. Recently, his images have won a number of
awards, and have been used by such
publications as the National Geographic Society.
Inflicted with the nerve disease, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRIPS),
Ric is now hunting wildlife throughout
the coastal and interior areas of Belize
on a slow adventure of discovery, and
healing. He is planning a return to
Manitoba when the weather warms,
and may feature some of his work at
the next Gimli Craft and Trade Show.

KRULICKI / WHARTON ENGAGEMENT
“From this day forward you will both have a hand to hold,
a heart to cherish, a friend to love”
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Bjarni

Dad will be greatly missed by his children Cheryl,
Raymond (James), Russell (Wendy), grandchildren; Saveja,
Monique; Kaela (Cory), Amanda, Scott, and their mother
Leona, Riley, and great grandson Hayden.
Ken and Brenda Krulicki are very pleased to announce the engagement
of their son Garth to Jennifer daughter of Jeff and Mickey Wharton.
*~Every Love Story is beautiful, but yours is our FAVOURITE~*
Love Always
A wedding social is planned for May 17th at the Gimli Recreational Centre.
A community shower will be held in July with a September wedding to follow.
Dad was predeceased by his loving wife Eleanor in 2012,
Parents Bjarni and Guðríður Johnson, Brothers John,
Harry, sisters Sena, Gudny, Halldora, and Alfa.
Dad was actively involved with Gimli Minor Hockey and
worked at Seagrams for many years. After leaving the
plant Barney and Eleanor Bought a truck and spent the
next 18 years crisscrossing Canada and the USA together
for Allied Van Lines. They made numerous friends from
NFLD to the Queen Charlotte Islands. After retiring from
the Van lines Mom and Dad enjoyed riding their bikes,
vacations to the Dominican Republic and spending time
with the family and friends.
Rest in peace Dad, cremation has taken place and a private service will be held at a later date as per dad’s wishes.
The family would like to extend their appreciation to all
the staff at the Gimli Community Health Centre and Dr.

truck and Eleanor patiently waiting outside with his wallet
to pay the swampers. After a quick nap they were back
out on the road together.
