ecently there was a
rumour circulating
through the community
that Sunday Fun Fest activi-
ties had been cancelled due
to the recent fooding. Tis
statement was exactly that
- a rumour and is far from
the truth!
An emergency road
closure request was sub-
mitted to Te Town by
Fun Fest organizers and
during the Town Council
meeting Tuesday evening,
Council agreed to close a
portion of 1st Street, 2nd
Street and 1st Avenue S.E.
to allow for the continua-
tion of Fun Fest activities
that had been planned for
Tanners Crossing Park
and at the grounds of Tan-
ners Crossing School.
(See new Fun Fest schedule
on Page 2).
On Saturday, the street
closure will be in efect
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. During these times,
no through traf c will be
permitted.
Te Barbarians Rugby
team have relocated their
weekend tournament from
the soggy MCI feld to Reil-
ly Field in Brandon.
As for Sunday, July
13th, organizers have de-
cided to go ahead with

elay for Life is an inspirational, festival like event that
celebrates the life and fght of cancer while at the
same time raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.
On Saturday July 5th, Minnedosa held its frst annual Re-
lay for Life event. Tirteen teams, 128 participants and 20
cancer survivors came out to take part in the non-com-
petitive, 12-hour event.
Te event was excellent. We had a great turn out
and the support we received from the town enabled us
to keep our costs low, which made the whole thing possi-
ble, said Tammy Gowler, chairperson of the Minnedosa
Relay for Life committee.
Organizers created a festival like atmosphere at the
Rockin the Fields site where the event was celebrated
with music, food, activities and entertainment.
Ted and Diane Clark were so good to us in the dona-
tion of the site. Tey did not hesitate for a moment about
allowing us to use the property, which in the end en-
abled us to have very minimal expenses. Te organizers
of Rockin the Fields were also very generous in allowing
us to use the site, and helped out with many man hours
as well as the facilities. Tey have also donated $1000.00,
noted Gowler.

Onyshko was recently
the youngest competitor

In the f oor event she
earned a silver medal in
Croatia and a bronze in
Qatar. At the recent na-
tional championships she
earned three medalsall
around silver, gold on
beam and silver on foor.
Previously a mem-
ber of the Junior National
Team, Onyshkos success-
ful season has made an
impression on Gymnastics
Canada who has selected
her to be one of fve gym-
nast named to Team Cana-
da for the Commonwealth

Onyshko is the sec-
ond member of Brandons
Eagles Gymnastics Club to
compete in the Common-

pated in 2006.
Te 2014 Common-
wealth Games will take
place from July 23
rd
to Au-
gust 3rd and will see 6,000
athletes from 70 countries

bronze medalist on beam
and foor at the 2014 Cana-
dian Championships.
I have witnessed
tremendous results by
gymnasts at the Com-
monwealth Games I have
attended in the past, and
I know that this 2014 edi-
tion will be contending for
the podium in Glasgow.
Canada has a long tradi-
tion of success in gymnas-
tics at the Commonwealth
Games and we expect that
to continue this summer in
Glasgow, said Gymnastics
Canada team leader Cathy
Haines. We are expecting
to be ranked top three in
the team events in all disci-
plines as well as challeng-
ing for medals across the
board in individual com-
petitions in both artistic
and rhythmic gymnastics.

Exploring Minnedosa-
a New Promotion During August Long
By JENNIFER PAIGE
A
ugust long weekend
is always an eventful
time in Minnedosa with
the annual Rockin the
Fields outdoor music fes-
tival, the local rodeo and
everything in between
there is certainly no lack
of excitement.
T is August long,
Minnedosa will be taking
part in a Travel Manitoba
run initiativeExplore
Manitoba like a Locala
program that sees select
local travel bloggers ex-
plore diferent places and
events throughout Mani-
toba and invites you to
follow along as they post,
blog and promote about
their experiences.
Minnedosa and Area
Community Development
Corporation has part-
nered with Travel Manito-
ba to bring this promotion
about.
Travel Manitoba is a
public/private, non-proft
tourism marketing orga-
nization that provides a
province-wide platform
to promote Manitoba as
a premier travel destina-
tion. A pilot project of this
initiative was started in
2013 and this will be the
second year Travel Mani-
toba has run the program
in the province.
On August 2nd and
3rd, Angela Gray, blogger,
explorer and adventure-
lover will be discovering
everything Minnedosa
has to ofer and will share
it with the world through
the Travel Manitoba web-
site, the Minnedosa web-
site, her personal blog,
Rockin the Fields of
Minnedosa outlets, and
Travel Manitobas social
media channels.
We are excited to
take part in this program.
Angela will be taking in
all of the Minnedosa at-
tractions over the course
of her visit, including the
Heritage Village, walking
trails, golf course, Ishii
Garden, bison compound,
lookout tower, the rodeo,
and of course Rockin the
Fields of Minnedosa, ex-
plained Val Dorn, admin-
istrator with Minnedosa
and Area Community De-
velopment Corporation.
Angela will also
be staying overnight at
the Stone View Bed and
Breakfast. During her visit
she will be making vari-
ous posts to her Instagram
and Twitter accounts
about what she experienc-
es. Once she has returned
home she will be making
a blog post about her time
in town, continued Dorn.
Born and raised in the
Annapolis Valley in Nova
Scotia, Gray moved to
Killarney in 2007 with her
husband. At that time the
two had very little knowl-
edge of Manitoba.
It was def nitely a
bit of a shock for us to
leave the coast and move
to Manitoba not knowing
anyone or anything about
it. It has been an exciting
adventure.
In March of 2011, Gray
began to write her blog as
a way to share her Manito-
ba experiences with fam-
ily and friends living on
the East coast.
It started as an on-
line diary, I was on a mis-
sion to see as much as I
possibly could and share
it with everyone. I have at-
tempted to visit almost ev-
ery community in South-
ern Manitoba. Anytime we
travel anywhere we take
the scenic route, discover-
ing a number of diferent
communities and every
place weve stopped has
something interesting go-
ing on, continued Gray.
Thi r t y- somet hi ng,
Gray and her husband
now reside in a small
community just north of
Dauphin. She became in-
volved with Travel Mani-
toba through sharing her
blog and posts.
I have made connec-
tions there and have par-
ticipated in a few Travel
Manitoba media trips pri-
or to this but this will be
the frst time I take part in
the #ExploreMB Like a Lo-
cal initiative.
While Travel Mani-
tobas media tour program
hosts over a hundred in-
ternational and Canadian
media annually to tell
the world about Mani-
tobas iconic treasures,
the #ExploreMB Like a
Local initiative provides
an opportunity for local
and provincial exposure
to experiences that would
appeal to Manitobans or
visitors who are already
in Manitoba, said Cathy
Senecal, Manager, Global
Media Relations, Travel
Manitoba. In the past
Gray has partnered with
Tourism Winnipeg, Tour-
ism Dauphin and has
been featured in the Win-
nipeg Free Press as Blog-
ger of the week.
I just truly enjoy
writing and sharing my
experiences. I am open
to anything and explor-
ing the world around me
has become my passion
and hobby. Tere is so
much going on right here
in Manitoba. I have only
been to Minnedosa once
and it was basically just
a drive-thru. I am super
excited to experience the
best of what Minnedosa
has to ofer, commented
Gray.
Follow along Grays
experiences through her
blog at http://www.lit-
t l e g r a y bi r d. c a or
the Travel Manitoba web-
site. One of my favou-
rite things to do when I
am in a new community
is to stop and talk with
the locals. I love hearing
about what their favorite
parts of the community
are and ask for their sug-
gestions on what I should
see. Minnedosa will be no
dif erent. I look forward
to hearing from residents
what it is they love about
their town, added Gray.

Show your support
A busy weekend lies ahead as Minnedosa plays host
to two long running summer attractions; Fun Fest and the
Ag Society Fair. Schedules for both appear in todays Tri-
bune and I encourage everyone to try to take in at least a
portion of the many activities taking place this weekend.
Remember, all of these events and attractions are a result
of dedicated community volunteers. Show them your ap-
preciation by attending and supporting what they have
planned. We often hear the complaints and what people
dont like about things, lets turn that around this week-
end and pass on a compliment or job well done. Pay it
forward and if you have a new idea or see something that
you feel could be done diferently to make it better, come
forward, get involved and volunteer some of your time to
see your idea through for next year. By working together,
good things happen! If we dont support and appreciate
what has been planned we face the risk of losing our vol-
unteers and if we lose our volunteers we will lose these
events in our community. Ten we will truly have some-
thing to complain about! Get out there and have a safe
and happy Fun Fest and Fair weekend everyone!

I
t is becoming more dif cult for businesses to sur-
vive in small rural communities. No longer are the
days of residents committing their undivided loyalty
to their hometown mom and pop businesses. It is now
common practice to shop online or from larger, ma-
jor retailers in nearby urban centres. Small, privately
owned businesses seem to be losing the battle.
If you look at Minnedosas Main Street, we may
be looking a little tired and worn. In recent months,
some businesses have closed, a number are currently
for sale and a number are struggling to hang on and
keep their doors open for as long as possible. Surpris-
ingly, although it may look doomed to some, our busi-
ness community is currently holding its own. When
we recently updated the Chamber of Commerce Busi-
ness Directory we deleted four businesses that have
closed or moved out of town in the past 12 months.
However, we also added four new businesses which
have opened in the past twelve months to our 2014
Chamber Directory. In addition to this, two new Main
Street businesses are scheduled to open this weekend.
In the 13 years I have been with Te Tribune I
have noticed a continuous cycle with our business
district. I recall two other occasions when our Main
Street was faced with business closures and vacancies.
After awhile, things turned around and both times,
new businesses moved in and there were shortages
of available downtown commercial space. Recently,
it seems we have been back on the downspin of this
cycle but initial discussions have begun to hopefully
devise a new plan to attract more business to our busi-
ness district. If not year round businesses, then maybe
at least some unique seasonal specialty shops which
would be of shopping interest to the many out-of-town
visitors we welcome to our community each summer.
Tere are a lot of ideas and possibilities out there. We
just have to get the right people to the table and put a
plan in action.
Growing up in the 1980s and 90s, I am not old
enough to remember the boom days of small neigh-
bouring business communities such as Moore Park,
Clanwilliam, Basswood, Newdale and Bethany. Sadly
today these once bustling business districts have van-
ished. What I do recall from my childhood is stopping
in at businesses such as Bensons Store in Clawilliam,
the store at Mountain Road and the Wright Place on
Main Street Rapid City. Here we are in 2014 and these
businesses and the buildings that housed them are
only a memory, completely unknown to the young
people of today. A lot has changed in just a few de-
cades. In many cases, change is good but the change
in business districts in these small towns has been
devastating.
I am sure during the boom days of these small
neighbouring communities, residents never imagined
that by 2014 their beloved town would have no or very
few businesses left and that their populations would
dwindle to, in some cases, only a handful of residents.
Te last time I drove through Moore Park, where my
dad went to school, there was no indication of the
bustling town it once was. Many younger people or
newcomers to this area probably pass by Moore Park
having no idea that it was once a town.
In my lifetime I hope I never see the total demise
of Minnedosas business community but I fear what I
may see in the next few decades is the loss of many
privately owned small businesses. It seems to be more
and more dif cult for such businesses to prosper and
survive which is a very sad reality I would like to see
change. I truly hope we can fnd ways to hang on to
our business district for as long as we possibly can,
hopefully as long as Minnedosa exists. Is that possi-
ble? I honestly dont know but lets not go down with-
out a fghting efort!

2004 Local volunteers, Ken and Ava Harris, Rae
Christiansen and Mel Nagorski spent a good portion of
last Wednesday painting the four-piece railroad display
in Tanners Park. Te four spruced things up in time for
Fun Fest and Heritage Day.
1994 An informational meeting was held to discuss
the installation of a water system for the R.M. of Odanah.
Te proposed project would include a well, reservoir and
some 70 miles of pipe line at an estimated cost of $2.2
million. Sixty people attended the meeting.
1984 Te R.M. of Clanwilliam kicks of its Homecom-
ing Week. About 400 guests attended the opening cere-
monies. Meanwhile, some 270 people registered for the
centennial celebration of Hazelwood School, southeast
of Minnedosa.
1974 Incumbent M.P. Craig Stewart was re-elected
holding the local seat for the Conservatives. Stewart re-
ceived slightly better than 66 percent of the popular vote.
1964 A grand re-opening was held at Minnedosas old-
est store, the Burgess Solo Store. Te original 196 square
foot premises has been expanded to 2,758 square feet;
110 feet of Coldstream refrigerator counters and new
wall shelving have also been added to the modern, new
supermarket.
1944 Vital Statistics for 1943 report 49 births registered
in Minnedosa. Tere were also 10 deaths and 16 marriag-
es here. For the R.M. of Minto, there were six births, fve
deaths and two marriages and in Odanah there were no
births or marriages and only one death.
1914 Te clock for the Post Of ce tower on Main Street
has arrived and will be installed shortly.
1894 Hugh Dyers house at Glendale was burned to
the ground while he was at the Dominion Day celebra-

H
ello, and welcome
to the Cops Corner.
Police responded to 87
calls for service this time
around. Files varied from
911 hang ups, intoxicated
person, dangerous driving,
assaults, mischief, traf c
collisions, theft, suspicious
people, threats, and speed-
ers. I will touch on the fast-
est speed in a bit.
It has been brought
to my attention that peo-
ple are utilizing the train
tracks as a side walk. First
of all... dont do that... and
second of all you can be
charged with trespassing
if you are. Not to mention
getting hit by a train! If you
see someone doing this,
please contact the local
RCMP Detachment.
A Brandon female was
charged with Impaired
Driving after a motor vehi-
cle collision scene was at-
tended by of cers on High-
way #10. Te female will be
attending court to explain
her actions at a later date.
T is weeks speeder
came all the way from
Nova Scotia. He was in a
real hurry apparently. Te
34-year-old male was go-
ing so fast that he won
two tickets for his efort.
One was a careless driv-
ing ticket where the fne is
to be determined. (never
cheap) Te second ticket
was for going 154km/hr in
a 100km/hr zone on High-
way #10. Tis earned him a
pricy piece of paper worth
$756.75. Maybe next time
he travels through Mani-
toba he will remember the
price for speeding here. I
guess time will tell though.
T anks for reading,
and we will see you again
next time in the Cops Cor-
ner.

innedosa Golf and
Country Club con-
tinue to battle an over-
abundance of water, ob-
serving course conditions
day by day.
Last week, the course
reached water levels high-
er that the 2011 food. Te
dike did hold, which is a
positive for us as we wont
have to deal with debris or
silt because it is just inter-
nal and ground water at
this point, explained Deb
Pritchard, resident golf
pro at Minnedosa Golf and
Country Club.
By the weeks end,
grounds keepers are hop-
ing to be able to reactivate
pumps but this will be de-
pendent on water levels
of the Little Saskatchewan
River dropping.
Once we can clear
most of the laying water
the turf underneath will be
our main priority. Te f fth
hole seems to be the most
afected at this time, con-
tinued Pritchard.
Along with over-
whelming half of the
course, food waters
have also compromised
grounds keepers ability to
irrigate requiring them to
hand water portions of the
course.
T ere is certainly
more work going on and
less play happening. Te
bulk of our clientele are
18-hole golfers and some
will avoid the course un-
til it is fully playable. Over
the weekend we averaged
about 100 rounds each
day, which is slightly down
from regular numbers but
not dramatically.
Despite the water is-
sues, the course will press
ahead with its Senior
Mens Open on Tursday,
July 10th as well as the Se-
nior Ladies Open sched-
uled for later in July.
We will be going
ahead with the scheduled
tournaments. However,
the condition of the course
has impacted the feld
size. In previous years we
have had 120 players but
this year we have had to
cap entry at 72 and par-
ticipants will be playing
the back nine twice, ex-
plained Pritchard.
T e Clubs regular
leagues are continuing
on as scheduled and the
Clubs staf and board
members would like to
note their appreciation for
the support and under-
standing that Club mem-
bers have had over the
duration of the food situa-
tion.

M
innedosa Sharks
rugby league is gear-
ing up for this years season
with a few changes in store
including a new president.
Matt Pentecost, who has
been a Minnedosa resi-
dent since 2005 when he
moved here from England,
has taken on the new role
of president of the Sharks
Rugby Club. He works in
town with TAG Construc-
tion as a general contractor
and has played rugby since
the age of six through to his
adult life, a sport his chil-
dren are now getting into.
My oldest son signed
up to play in Minnedosa
last year but he has played
previous years in Brandon.
Barry Dowsett, the former
president has passed over
responsibilities to me since
his son has now out grown
the league, said Pentecost.
Tis year will also see the
league open up a trail age
group where kids three to
fve will be able to come out
and try the sport. Tere has
never been an age category
like this held in Minnedosa
and it will be one of the
only rugby leagues in the
area to ofer it.
Te process of partic-
ipation in the game is grad-
ual. For the frst few years
of play we just establish the
rules and the goals of the
game. As we move into the
next age category we begin
to incorporate fags until
the fnal age group where
we begin to establish the
contact aspect.
Te Minnedosa Sharks
will now have three difer-
ent age groups, 3 to 5, 6 to
9, and 9-13. An open trial
night will be held for each
of the age groups where
kids are given the oppor-
tunity to come out and try
the sport before having to
register for the entire sea-
son.
We have our open
trial night on July 16th for
the new 3-5 year-old group
and the 6-9 year-olds. Our
contact ages 9-13 will have
their trial night on July
23rd. Te season will start
on August 6th and will run
into the frst few weeks of
October. We play as long
as the weather allows, ex-
plained Pentecost.
Trial nights have been
scheduled to be held at
the Minnedosa Collegiate
f eld. However, because
the feld is currently under
water the backup location
will be Minnedosa Beach.
I am excited to be
the president of the club
for the upcoming season.
Minnedosa is a hotbed for
rugby action. Last year we
only had a few kids regis-
tered so this year we are
hoping to get some more
kids interested.
Te Sharks will also
be holding a fundrais-
ing social on August 23rd.
Rugby Canada has agreed
to donate some signed
merchandise, which will
be raf ed of during the so-
cial.
Tis season we are
also hoping to break down
some of the stigma associ-
ated with the sport. Many
times people think that it
is very aggressive or vio-
lent but with this league
it is all about getting out
and having fun, continues
Pentecost. Tere is no tell-
ing what involvement in
any sport can lead to. Jason
Galbraith and Tom Roche
both played in the Sharks
league here in Minnedosa
before going on to play
for Team Canada and in
the professional league in
B.C.
Troughout the sea-
son the Sharks will prac-
tice for jamboreesall
day tournaments where
they compete against the
neighbouring leagues
of Brandon, Souris and
Boissevain.
Anyone interested is
encouraged to stop in at
one of the trial nights or
grab a ticket for the leagues
fundraising socialwhich
are available now.
Sharks Prepare for Season Kick-of
Continued from Page 1
Te 13 teams involved fundraised in advance of the
event and were committed to raising at least $100.00.
Although the of cial tally has not been submitted, the
event has raised close to $24,000.00.
I am just in awe at how this community came
together, the dedication of the committee and the
amount that was raised in this event. Everyone who
was involved and participated should be very proud
of what they have accomplished, commented Lindsay
Cowling, fundraising coordinator with the Manitoba di-
vision of Relay for Life.
Unfortunately, to the disappointment of all in-
volved, Mother Nature intervened and the event had to
be closed early due to the threat of thunderstorms and
tornado activity.
We had to call the event of before midnight. It
was an extremely tough decision but we had to err on
the side of caution. We tried waiting but after a number
of thunderstorm and tornado warnings we decided to
close the event early for the safety of the entire group,
explained Gowler.
In order to conclude the event, organizers will
be planning a Fight Back party in the fall where they
will hold a few of the activities that they didnt get to
on Saturday, including the $5.00 pre-registration for
Minnedosas 2015 event.
Te Committee of this event did an amazing job.
Tey were able to get the event together in four months,
whereas most communities take about nine months to
plan the event. Due to the enthusiasm from committee
members and participants, we will certainly be hosting
another event here next year, added Cowling.

Lighting Up The Sky on the First of July
Dear Reena,
M
y son insists on using
cold water to wash
everything in the laundry
because he says that hot
water fades colours. I no-
ticed that when he pulls
some of his t-shirts out of
the dryer, they have mold
stains all over them. Is this
because he does not use
hot water (I never have this
problem)? Rebecca
Dear Rebecca,
Cold water is a smart
choice when it comes to
water and energy conser-
vation. It is also important
to note that water temper-
ature 27 degrees Celsius
(80 degrees Fahrenheit)
or hotter is best for getting
fabrics clean. It sounds as
though you hit the nail on
the head, in order to get rid
of mold on his t-shirt, he
requires hot water. He may
also want to experiment
with detergents specifcal-
ly designed for cold water
washing.
In order to avoid faded
colours in fabrics, simply
avoid the use of the dryer
because the heat of the
dryer will fade colours
quickly. To prevent mold
growth, clothes must dry
quickly. Hang clothes out-
side or lay them fat to dry,
and iron them when damp
or dry.

SANDY LAKE NEWS Mavs Clinch First, now Strive
for Provincial Berth
By JENNIFER PAIGE
W
ith a win over the
Portage Padres on
Sunday, followed by two
wins over the Neepawa
Cubs on Monday and
Tuesday evening, the
Minnedosa Mavericks
have clinched the top spot
in the six-team Santa Clara
Senior Mens AA Baseball
league just before the start
of the playofs.
On Sunday the Maver-
icks defeated their league
nemeses the Portage Pa-
dres, 4-1, to rob them of
the leagues top-spot.
Te Mavericks struck
two runs in the top of the
third and another pair in
the top of the sixth. An-
drew Richards threw a
complete game, scattering
six hits and didnt allow an
earned run.
Mike Tarleton drove in
one run and scored anoth-
er, while John Lawrence
went 3-for-4 with a RBI.
Tis was a huge win
for us. We have been chas-
ing Portage since day one.
We had a slow start but are
really rolling now. We have
come alive and are really
working hard to stay in frst
and represent our league
at provincials, comment-
ed Richards.
Both Portage and
Minnedosa had two losses
this season but Portage
also has a tie, which give
the Mavericks an advan-
tage in the standings.
Tey beat us in the
second game of the sea-
son but since then we have
beaten them twice, out-
scoring them 15-2, added
Richards.
Monday evening the
Mavericks hosted the
Neepawa Cubs, claiming
an 8-1 victory. Devin Foord
was the winning pitcher
going fve innings and only
giving up one run. Foord
was also the teams top
batter going 2-3 with three
RBIs.
Tuesday evening
saw Neepawa return to
Minnedosa for a season
makeup game. Te Maver-
icks defeated the Cubs 6-2.
Mike Tarleton was the win-
ning pitcher throwing four
scoreless innings. Richards
was 2-3 with two RBIs and
a run scored.
Te Mavericks now sit
in the top spot of the league
with a 12-2 record. Portage
sits in second place with an
11-2-1 record, Carberry has
claimed third with 7-4-2.
T e Mavericks now
turn their attention to their
Friday nights match-up
against the Plumas Pirates,
a win that would secure
f rst place in the league
and deliver a berth to the
Provincials.
It is the provincial
berth that is really motivat-
ing us at this point. Only
one team gets to go and
we know how bad Por-
tage wants it, but we have
been there since 2008 and
we have no intentions
on giving that up, stated
Richards.
T e crucial game
against Plumas takes place
in Plumas on Friday eve-
ning.

MARGARET BERNICE STRAHL (ROBINSON)
JXNuXuv 1z1n, 1o
- Arutt z61n, zo1(
With sadness, we wish to share the passing of our mom at age
84. Bernice passed with family by her side at the Minnedosa Per-
sonal Care Home where she lived the last 7 years of her life.
Bernice was born to Robert and Mary Jane Robinson at Lady
Minto Hospital in Minnedosa. She was the oldest of 3, and when
her mother passed away at a young age, Bernice was tasked with
looking after her siblings, Floyd and Rose Marie (Dolly). Bernice
became a telephone operator for MTS at the age of 17, and would
work there of and on throughout her lifetime until her retirement at
age 62. Mom enjoyed some wonderful friendships with some very
special ladies at MTS, and her life was richer for it.
Bernice married Ellis Gustaf Strahl, and together they brought 6 children into this world, be-
ginning on July 19th, 1949, and ending on July 19th, 1964. Other than a few years in Flin Flon, MB
when their boys were young, Mom and Dad raised their family in Minnedosa and surrounding
area. Minnedosa was defnitely Moms special place she was always happy to go visit her kids,
but was happier to come home.
Once her family was raised, Mom was involved in many activities such as bowling, golfng,
curling and cribbage. She could often be found in her favourite chair at the Legion enjoying a
game of crib. Mom also enjoyed gardening and cooking and canning and passed down those
loves to her family. Bernice was an avid knitter and crocheter, and we all have handmade treas-
ures from her that we cherish.
Bernice was a loving Grandma, and was lovingly coined Gram by her grandkids. After her
retirement, she was able to spend more time with them and spent a few years babysitting her 2
youngest grandsons, Braydon and Brody. Life around mom was never dull, and they have some
wonderful memories of those years. She also welcomed her granddaughter, Amy, for many a
weekend adventure. Her oldest grandsons, Brian, Brent and Bradley were her pride and joy, and
she missed them terribly when they headed west. Bernice was very proud of all her grandchil-
dren and her children. She loved us all fercely, and we will miss her terribly.
Bernice was predeceased by her mom and dad, and her brother Floyd, and many of her dear
friends. She is survived by her 6 children: Richard (Judy), Cranbrook, BC; Wilf (Lillian), Minne-
dosa, MB; Don, Cranbrook, BC; Bruce (Barb), Ladner, BC; Bev (Donnie), Minnedosa, MB; Lesley
(Chris), Brandon, MB: Grandchildren: Brian, Brent, Bradley, Braydon, Brody, Amy and Krista,
and several Great Grandchildren, and one Great Great Grandchild. She is also survived by her
sister Rose Marie Tatcher, Winnipeg, MB and several nieces and nephews and cousins and
friends.
Te family would like to extend a heartfelt Tank-you and Hugs to all the angels at the Minne-
dosa Personal Care Home for not only helping to ease Moms passing, but for loving her while she
was there. Your kindness will be forever remembered.
Funeral service for mom will be held on July 19th, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at the Minnedosa Funeral
Home, interment to follow at the Minnedosa Cemetery. Lunch will be held at the Legion Club-
rooms. We invite all of her friends and ours to come and help us say good-bye. In lieu of fowers,
donations may be made to the Minnedosa Personal Care Home, or the Alzheimer Society of MB,
or a charity of your choice.
