Melita Grade 10 Drama class entertains

by Brittany Walker On Tuesday, June 1, the Grade 10 Melita School Drama Class presented their production “The Science of Murder�. The play was about Doctor Mingus, one of the most important figures in science today, and the audience was lucky enough to witness an experiment that would change the world as we knew it! The subjects are a husband and wife who just don’t see eye-to-eye anymore. With the help of his henchman, Idiot, his butler, Patrice, and a host of unwanted guests, Doctor Mingus tries to help them understand each other again. The subjects are strapped in, the switch is thrown, the power goes out and things just go downhill from there. The personality of the subjects are switched and Doctor Mingus must find a way to switch them back.

Students who participated in the production included Steward Pulinney as Doctor Mingus, Austin Mallo as Idiot, Branden Tilbury as Patrice, Kara Montgomery as Babette, Lucas Greenley as Franklin, Nicole Jarvie as Janet, Cole Tilbury as Joey Stutts, Jayden Kobs as Clarence, Holden Phillips on sounds and special effects, Hilary Renwick helped backstage and Zach McCutcheon was the student director.

The Melita School Senior Social Justice Group held a dessert sale during intermission and proceeds went to help offset their Nicaragua trip planned for the spring of 2016.

The students put in a lot of hard work to get “The Science of Muder� ready, and it paid off, because they gave a great performance that had the audience laughing throughout the entire show!

2014 Tribute to Tourism Award winners - Melita submitted The 12th Annual Tribute to Tourism Awards were held on Wednesday, May 27, at Tundra Oil & Gas Place in Virden, MB. This extraordinary event had over 165 people in attendance and leading everyone through the presentations was Adam Tarnowski, radio host of CJ103 Virden.

Award recipients from Melita were Melita Banana Days, Marketing Excellence.

The Melita Banana Days Committee, made up of eight diligent individuals, work year round promoting Melita Banana Days; a 3 day weekend festival of family fun that local and regional residents look forward to every year. From local print advertising, radio advertising, maintaining an active facebook page and event website, as well as making provincial news on several occasions, this committee has certainly garnered a strong presence in the southwest Manitoba tourism industry. With a key marketing objective of increasing attendance numbers on an annual basis, Melita Banana Days has consistently managed to achieve their goal with up to a 10% increase with each passing year; 2014 drew in 4,100 attendees! Event listings are posted each year well in advance so that visitors know exactly what to expect for the weekend. The Committee also makes sure to satisfy visitor expectations by actively engaging on their facebook page in asking from the community what they would like to see at the event and trying to incorporate as many wishes as they can. The 3 day weekend features free banana splits, a kids carnival with inflatable bouncers, games, country music artist performance, petting zoo, fire show, mud bog, and much more!

Camiel Serruys, Volunteer of the Year In addition to owning a popular Melita restaurant, Camiel is a very active member of many committees throughout the Town of Melita. He is a part of Melita Banana Days (president), Chamber of Commerce, Bowling Association (president), Melita Pool Commitee (president) and the Melita Early Learning Centre. Though Camiel has had many key achievements, his efforts with the Melita Banana Days are ones that stand out the most. Being president of the Committee, he has a very active role in this event and focuses a lot of time with this group. Camiel loves watching Banana Days grow and has had a huge hand in developing the statue site. It went from just a statue site to being a treed picnic area and there are future plans to turn it into a play park. Camiel has helped to grow the event from being a fun few days planned for the community to a 3 day event that draws attention from

all over the prairie provinces to even as far as China! On top of all this, he also finds multiple other ways to give back to his community whenever he can, such as by donating food/beverages to emergency response teams and flood victims as well having helped with sandbagging and stacking pallets for hours after the flood.

Camiel is also an active

volunteer at his church assisting with Penny Parade and serving funeral lunches, etc. He and his family were also a huge help in cleaning up Main Street Park.

He brings a positive attitude towards any community minded task and is always pushing himself to the best of his ability to create events that not only his own family can enjoy but

where other families can grow, love and most of all have fun!

Additional award recipients were Meadowlark Campground & RV Park of Brandon for Service Excellence, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Souris Eventsâ&#x20AC;? for Partnership, Jessica Mayes of Pierson for Aspiring Youth and Virden Indoor Rodeo & Wild West Daze for Event of the Year.

Skate Drive - a tribute to Zoe

by Anne Davison, Virden Empire Advance A teen lost her best friend when Saskatchewan figure skater Zoe Lesy, lost her life in the icy Assiniboine River this past March.

Now, Shayanne Bear is creating an ongoing memorial to her friend and fellow skater - a tribute that will bless others.

Bear is also from Saskatchewan. She has spent her school year attending VCI, living in Virden in order to skate with Cutting Edge Skating School in Virden.

After the accident, Bear had difficulty making it through one day at a time. She now she wants to do something significant to honour her friend.

“I want to get word out of what I’m doing,” say Bear, explaining that she is turning a Grade 11 yearend project into something the whole community can get involved in, both now and in the years to come.

She is initiating a skate drive - an opportunity for people to drop off used skates, to create a skatelending option at the Arena.

“Within the next couple of weeks I want people to come by, to either the rink or anywhere in town that would be willing to collect skates,” added Bear.

The school project was for a Global Issues class called, “The Community Action Fund Project”.

Bear explains the project poses the challenge, “What can you do for your community to make it a more sustainable place?”

Bear says any size of hockey or figure skates are acceptable, and preferably hockey helmets.

But she says she was told by those involved in a skating program in Virden, that there is a big need for bigger sized skates and helmets.

The Grade 11 student got the idea when she talked with Student Support Worker, Wendy Bancescu. “She gave me this idea,” says Bear.

“The biggest issue was storage,” says Bear. The skates need an official storage area and container.

Zoe’s father has carpenter skills and has agreed to

make a box for the skates.

The rink manager at Tundra Oil & Gas Place was favourable toward the project and agreed the facility could accommodate the ongoing collection of skating equipment.

“Now it’s a matter of getting the news out there,” says Bear.

In the future, anyone who wants to go skating will be able to borrow them at Tundra Oil & Gas Place (skating arena).

“I want people to keep donating, through the years, because I want the program to last,” added Bear, who also envisions small donations such as $2 or $5 will help to sustain the project.

“I am going to have a little box where people can just drop off money because we’ll need to get the skates sharpened,”

says Bear.

The skates and helmets will be free to use, not to take.

“There are lots of new people who don’t have skates. There’s lots of opportunity, with public skating,” says the figure skater.

“Zoe loved to skate she just loved it,” said Bear. Now, her best friend wants others to have the opportunity to enjoy gliding over the ice as well.

Bear thinks Zoe would be pleased with this tribute but says, “She never really liked anything [focused on] herself.” She explains, “Zoe wasn’t a selfish person.”

Drop off locations for the skates and helmets, during the first two weeks of June, include Tundra Oil & Gas Place, Gibson’s of Virden: The Sport & Fashion Place, and VCI.

For your Aerial Application needs,

Shayanne Bear, a Grade 11 student at Virden, has initiated a skate and helmet collection in memory of her friend, Zoe Lesy. She wears Zoe’s bracelet and another bracelet, a key to “letting go”, and overcoming grief and loss.

Pierson United Appeal holds final campaign submitted For 2015 the Pierson United Appeal sent $879.50 to each of the following four charities: Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington’s Society, Canadian Diabetes and Alzheimer’s Society. This officially closes out the organization’s books. The present Committee of Betty Minshull, Gwen Tucker, Joan Neumann and Leann Vickers, representing various community organizations, have decided to dissolve as they were unsuccessful in recruiting new members.

As far as the records available show, the United Appeal began in Pierson in 1960. Marie Eikanger was the first convenor. In 1962 the books show the committee held a Tea and Bake Sale raising $187.87 which was donated to cancer research, CNIB and the March of Dimes. $5 was held back for hall rent. In 1963 from the Tea and Bake Sale, along with a $40 donation from the Burns Club, the same charities and the Heart Fund shared in $192.05. In 1964 records show expenses of .75 for advertising and a

receipt book and $1.11 for postage. In 1967, the Committee put out donation boxes in lieu of the Tea as the town road conditions were deplorable - probably due to the installation of sewer and water that year.

Donations continued to be between $150 - $200 annually throughout the 1970s. In 1985 the campaign collected $445. which included a grant of $208. from Manitoba Lotteries. In 1998, the Lotteries grant became a standard $1,000 annually until the present. For some years the Royal Bank staff contributed to the United Appeal with portions

deducted from paycheques.

The Committee has stipulated that money collected be used in the Westman area as much as possible and the Westman charities have been most appreciative of the support. Although the records are not available for the years of 1986-1996, overall Pierson United Appeal has sent $55,861.20 to charities since 1960. Thanks goes to the many Committee members who have served and to the community individuals who have made generous contributions over the years.

We trust you will find other means to support these charitable organizations.

PMH welcomes a Physician Assistant to Melita and Deloraine submitted This spring a new type of health care provider started working at the Melita and Deloraine Medical Clinics.

Jacob John, a Physician Assistant, began working under Dr. Beauchamp at the Melita Medical Clinic and Dr. Brackenreed at the Deloraine Medical Clinic. Physician Assistants (PA) are a newer type of health care provider in Manitoba. They can be described as a ‘physician extender’ working with some independence, under the supervision of the physician supervisor.

Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) is excited to have the opportunity for Jacob John to work in the communities of Melita and Deloraine.

Physician Assistants are not new to Prairie Mountain Health; there are several working in Brandon and Dauphin in areas of surgery and nephrology. However, this is the first opportunity to

have a Physician Assistant working in primary care.

“Having a Physician Assistant working in primary care is a new model that addresses a need in two communities that are experiencing shortages of physicians,” states Michelle McKay, Director Medical Services Administration for PMH. Jacob moved to Melita, after working in a specialty area in Winnipeg, to practice in a primary care setting.

Melita and Deloraine are different than where he was born and raised, a tiny island in the Persian Gulf called Bahrain. Jacob appreciates the quiet and peaceful rural communities, stating ‘the people are so welcoming and friendly.’

Before completing his Masters in Medical Science and certification as a Physician Assistant in Chicago, Jacob practiced as a physician in primary care in India. He then moved to the United States where he worked for several years as a Patient Care Coordinator, while raising two boys, with his wife. When he immigrated to Canada, he welcomed the opportunities available to practice in

Manitoba and finds it a privilege to be accepted as Physician Assistant in Melita and Deloraine.

The role of a Physician Assistant began in the military in the Canadian Forces and the United States in the 1960s. Over the years, the number of Physician Assistants has grown in Canada, mostly in Manitoba and Ontario. Physician Assistants are considered medical generalists and are required to complete a twoyear Master’s program and national exam.

Jacob’s role will focus on primary care in Melita and Deloraine, and will assist in providing service to the Personal Care Home and Lodge in Deloraine.

Waskada School Drama presents “The Masked Musketeer”

by Judy Wells “Who is that masked man?” So wondered the cast of the Waskada School Drama when they presented “The Masked Musketeer” on Thursday, May 28.

The dinner theatre included dinner at 6:00 and the play at 7:00 in the school MPR. A delicious dinner of meatballs, rice, asparagus and coleslaw was catered by the Waskada Early Learning Centre and served by the actors.

Between Act One and Act Two, scrumptious servings of homemade ice cream desserts were served.

The play was produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, Inc. Englewood, Colorado and the local talent of director Erin

Anderson.

As said by one patron, “The kids were fantastic - Ms Anderson just seems to be able to pull it out of them.”

Indeed, the actors knew their parts well, spoke clearly and delivered humorous antics right on cue.

Here’s a production synopsis of the play: “The Masked Musketeer has it all - comedy, action, romance, and mystery. The men of a small Spanish village are called to Madrid by the King, leaving behind only the women, one town elder, and three unruly “boys”. It doesn’t take long for the village to be overrun with bandits, so the lazy Lorenzo, Mateo, and Felipe take it upon themselves to become musketeers. Easier said than

done. These wannabe swash bucklers are more like knee bucklers, and they can’t even get the saying right! (All for one and all for one).

Meanwhile, the town is coping with their own problems: poor saloon owner Lucia must deal with the bandits drinking all the town’s Sarsaparilla; Sanchez doesn’t have anyone to chop his firewood; and Corina is busy preparing for her wedding but still needs a groom. The villagers grow discouraged until a masked musketeer swoops into help Mateo and his compadres fight off the bandits before mysteriously disappearing. When the bandits find out the town has a hidden treasure, they take a hostage demanding to have it and the masked musketeer

Touch Quilts donated to Melita PCH In conjunction with their Memory Walk in support of the Alzheimer Society, Wednesday, June 3, Grace Loewen, Program Coordinator, Westman Region, Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, was at the Melita PCH to donate 20 Touch Quilts to resident at the Personal Care Home. The Touch Quilt Project is an initiative of the Alzheimer Society of Maniotba and is sponsored by Investors Group. Touch Quilts are crafted by many caring volunteers in the community who help by assembling quilt kits and making the quilts. The quilts can bring comfort, increase happiness, provide enjoyment as well as lessen sadness and fear for those who receive one. The hope of the Alzheimerʼs Society is to provide a quilt to every person residing in a Personal Care Home in Manitoba.

Last week, the Grade 3 class visited our Common Room again where their teacher, Heather Mc Cutcheon had them interact with the residents in the making of windsocks.

These colourful articles were constructed on overhead paper which is a filmform of material which they all took part in colouring and attaching ribbons to for a great effect.

Surely a long way from the art work we used to do in school in my day but must admit that it is much more professional, too.

Rev. Barb Alston and the Presbyterian congregation visited us here again on Sunday and Marion Lamont was also on hand to assist and accompanied the hymns as well. As it was Trinity Sunday the scriptures and message followed that truth and proved to be yet another challenge to the thought processes for all who were in attendance.

WASKADA

Twelve gardeners, or people who like to get their hands in dirt, met at the Melita Library on Tuesday, June 2, for a Cottage Garden class. Kimʼs Greenhouse provided all the materials and Dawn Kilfoyle shared her expertise in creating the miniature gardens. First step was choosing the pot colour and then adding the growing medium, followed by using pliers to crack a terracotta pot to create another level in the pot. An array of succulents and tropical plants were available to choose from, depending on a shade or sun location. Choosing the decorative elements such as the cottage, animals and tiny mushrooms was the next step. They finished off with the placing of river stones and a sprinkle of fairy dust. Extra plants and decorations were available for purchase for those who want to create more dishgardens. The door prize winner was Denise Kraemer followed by cake and clean-up. Everyone went home with their small gardens. The library has just received a book , “Gardening in Miniature”,

by Janit Calvo, with lots of ideas on creating a tiny living world. “What is it that draws the heart and eye to things smaller than life? Perhaps the fact that anything miniature reminds us of play”.

Market Report

by Robert Cey Mixed news holds stock markets back Stock markets around the world declined this week amid volatility created by US and global economic data, interest rate concerns and geopolitical developments.

Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite index fell despite largely favourable secondquarter earnings reports, dividend increases and share buybacks from Canadian banks.

The energy and materials sectors lost ground on wavering commodities prices.

Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.6% y-o-y in the first quarter of the year, a sharp decline from 2.4% in the final quarter of 2014. The lower-thanexpected number was the result of falling oil prices and a harsh winter. Earlier in the week, the Bank of Canada kept its key interest rate at 0.75%, saying it expects that a return to more robust US economic growth in the second quarter will help Canada’s economy. The US reported that its GDP contracted by 0.7% y-o-y in the first quarter, down from an earlier estimate of 0.2% growth. The revision was expected as difficult winter weather and a strong dollar hurt the economy.

Economic concerns contributed to the decline of Wall St.’s S&P 500 in a holidayshortened week. Some investors questioned the potential for future growth and those who saw hope for the economy turned their attention to

a possible interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve. However, the Nasdaq Composite index hit a fresh record high, fueled by rebounding technology stocks and big-ticket merger-andacquisition activity.

Most European markets lost ground as they wrestled with uncertainty over Greece’s ability to make upcoming debt payments and economic data.

Asian markets were mostly lower as a 6.5% plunge in Chinese stocks on Thursday pressured the region. However, China’s major stock market was still up more than 40% for the year. Japan’s market bucked the trend as an 11-day winning streak took it to a 15year high. A declining yen, at its lowest level against the US dollar since late 2002, is sup-

porting record profits for many exporters.

In other news this week: • The Canadian currency lost more ground as the US dollar strengthened and the Bank of Canada held the line on rates.

• Canada’s currentaccount deficit was the second largest on record in the first quarter as exports were hurt by lower oil prices. A deficit indicates that a country imports more than it exports.

• Durable goods orders in the US declined in April over March and were down y-o-y.

However, much of the drop was concentrated in the aircraft industry, suggesting strength in other areas.

• US newly built home sales and pending home sales rebounded in April and house prices rose in March, more

signs of a pickup in this important sector of the economy.

• China cut import duties on many consumer products in half to spur consumer spending and slowing economic growth.

What’s ahead next week: Canada • Monthly jobs data.

• Purchasing managers indexes.

• Trade balance.

US • Monthly jobs data.

• Purchasing managers indexes.

• Trade balance.

• Factory orders.

• Federal Reserve Beige Book report.

• Consumer sentiment.

submitted by Reeve Deb McMechan for the Council of the Municipality of Two Borders There is nothing like watching a herd of cattle, put out to pasture in the spring, as they fan out from the gate stopping every few yards to rip up a mouthful of tender new grass. Then again, does anything smell quite as promising as the earthy tang of a freshly worked field warming up under the caress of a prairie sun in May? It occurred to me recently that I haven’t really appreciated those things in a while. I suppose machinery hasn’t rolled up and down the fields nearly so frequently in the past few years, and while the cattle, for the most part, still made their yearly sojourns to pasture, the angst and inconvenience of flooding has sapped much of the joy from those simple pleasures that make farming in western Canada the very best way of life.

While we have had some very heavy rains here in Two Borders, we have thus far been spared the devastation of another flood touch wood. However, we continue to live with the legacy of the 2014 flood event.

At least in part due to very high water levels, frost boils have been a scourge upon our local gravel roads and highways this season.

They have popped up with the unbridled enthusiasm of early summer dandelions and made expensive, and in some cases dangerous, nuisances of themselves. Although Council did not have any municipal road bans this year, we have been forced to close a number of gravel roads because they have b e c o m e impassable. Council would like to urge everyone to travel with care for both their personal safety, and with a consideration for the state the roads are in.

Many major sites, municipal bridges and crossings, remain unfinished.

These sites present both a danger and an annoyance, as signage blows over or is sometimes vandalized or stolen, leaving the motorist vulnerable to unmarked hazards while being patently inconvenient. We urge people to drive with caution and we want you to know that we are working very hard to get infrastructure repaired.

Municipal administration and council continue to contact, sometimes daily, Manitoba Emergency Measures, Disaster Financial Assistance and

Stantec Engineering, the firm solely contracted by Manitoba government for the 2014 flood recovery, in an effort to complete the processing of these sites, so we can begin repair in these places.

Two Borders has worked diligently to make Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation aware of the state some of the area provincial highways are in, speaking by telephone and requesting meetings with portfolio Ministers, so we have the pleasure of pointing them out firsthand. We commend the good work our local highways department does considering these challenges.

We are proud to say that as a result of the hard work through meetings and conferences to lobby for a program so flood victims had an opportunity to protect their homes and farms from future flood events, Two Borders council can report that the Manitoba government just announced an Individual Flood Protection Program for Manitoba residents. Details are currently being released and we

applaud and appreciate the government’s commitment to helping Manitobans mitigate future events.

The Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) June District meetings are right around the corner, and Two Borders Council has passed two resolutions we hope can go forward to the November convention. They are: Whereas municipalities have been hit by multiple years of flooding and crop insurance premiums have increased while coverage has decreased; Now be it hereby resolved that the AMM lobby the Province of Manitoba that where municipalities have been hit by multiple years of excess moisture, that individual producers not be penalized by increased premiums and decreased coverage on Excessive Moisture Claims.

And, a resolution passed jointly with the Town of Melita and the RM of Pipestone: Whereas health care is of vital importance to the citizens of rural southwestern Manitoba; And whereas the shortage of doctors and nurses is causing frequent

temporary suspensions of emergency rooms and acute care services; and whereas the citizens of these communities have no family doctors or basic health care services available; Now be it resolved that the Association of Manitoba Municipalities lobby the Province of Manitoba to provide, at the very least, a reasonable basic level of health care in the area facilities.

As well, a joint committee has been newly formed among area municipalities to begin to tackle the very serious issue of the future of health care in our region.

Gravel should be being crushed and going on roads soon.

Budget deadlines are looming and as we work through the details, mill rates - both differential and at-large - prompt some very lively conversations around the table!

I hope you are all taking time to notice the simple beauty of cattle or sheep grazing companionably on area pastures, and please remember to drive carefully on municipal roads and highways.

OBITUARY

Melita Lodge

HOWDEN Walter Scott Howden August 20, 1965 - April 27, 2015 Walter Scott Howden was born in Deloraine, MB on August 20, 1965 to Walter and Helen Howden.

Scott attended a Machining Course at Assiniboine Community College.

Scott married Elizabeth Holmes of Austin, on April 8, 1995. They have two sons William and Erik.

Scott had many different jobs during his lifetime. Every job that Scott did he gave 100%. He worked on the pipeline, building fertilizer plant across the prairies and at the grain elevator in Goodlands. Scott also farmed or ranched as he preferred to call it. Scott did a little grain farming but mostly raised cattle.

He was always willing to give a helping hand when called upon by neighbours or friends. Being a hard worker and wanting to support his family, when cattle farming was not so good, Scott worked in Alberta operating a tow tractor for 4 seasons. When he decided that he could no longer spend so much time away from his boys he found a local job working for Glen Forsyth driving truck in the oil field. Scott briefly worked for Weatherford installing well heads before he got what he called his dream job of working for EOG Resources. He enjoyed being able to be close to home and working with a great group of guys in the field.

Scottʼs greatest joy was spending time with his family, at home, on vacations or even just trips around the countryside. He was very proud of his boys in their accomplishments in their education and all that they did.

Scott will be sadly missed by his wife Liz, his two sons William and Erik, mother Helen, brother Doug and sister-in-law Rebecca, sister Elizabeth and brother-in-law Harold Pawluk, nephew Ryan, niece Catherine and extended family members.

Scott was predeceased by his father Walter Howden, mother-in-law Teena and father-in-law Garry Holmes.

A gravesdie service was held at the Goodlands Cemetery May 2, 2015.

The family wishes to thank all the doctors and nurses att the Health Science Centre, Cancer Care Manitoba and the Deloraine Medical Centre for the excellent care that Scott received during his illness. It made the difficult time in our lies a little easier.
