Former Mayor, Sizzling Ice At Skate The Lake

Wayne Currah,
Passes At Age 56
By DARRYL HOLYK

R esidents of Minnedo-
sa and surrounding
area were shocked by
the recent passing of lo-
cal Pharmacist, Wayne
Currah. Wayne passed
away Saturday, February
18th at the age of 56. At
the time of his passing,
Wayne held the posi-
tion of chairman of the
Minnedosa Primary Care
Centre committee. File photo
Born and raised
in the Basswood-Minnedosa area, Wayne gradu-
ated from the University of Manitoba in 1982, with
a degree in Pharmacology. Later that year, he began
working at Minnedosa Pharmacy, a business which
he would be associated with for the remainder of his
life. Wayne became a partner in the business in 1984
and assumed the position of manager of Minnedosa
Pharmacy. Photo by Hillary Campbell

Proper Protocal When Spotting Vehicles In The Ditch
By HILLARY CAMPBELL
A car in a ditch. We
all see them. In our
Manitoba winters, we ac-
tually see them rather of-
ten. Minnedosa Fire Chief,
Dean Jordan, also sees
quite a few of them. He
says there are, on average,
eight to ten 911 calls per
month.
Jordan noticed that
sometimes, well-inten-
tioned citizens call 911
when they see a car in a
ditch, yet when all of the
first responders (fire, para-
medics, RCMP) arrive on
scene, the people in the
ditch are not in need of
any emergency assistance.
A lot of times it is well in-
tentioned people who are
calling in, trying to help
somebody, said Jordan,
but a lot of times they
dont stop, they drive by,
and dont check to see if
there are people in the car,
if its taped off if weve al-
ready been there, or if the
people actually need help.
There are instances
Town Council Notes
By DARRYL HOLYK
M innedosa Town
Council met for its
regular February meeting
on the evening of Valen-
tines Day, February 14th.
In Mayor Orrs absence,
Councillor Skatch chaired
the meeting. Councillors
Luker, Saler and MacDow-
all were in attendance with
Councillors Taylor and
Wedgewood absent.
The meeting opened
with a delegation from
Little Saskatchewan Riv-
er Conservation District
(LSRCD). Colleen Couve-
lier and Ray Frey attended
and brought council up-to-
date on the LSRCDs activi-
ties during the 2015-2016
season. The two reported
that since the municipal
amalgamations, Minnedo-
sa is now the LSRCDs sole
urban partner as the Town
of Rivers is now amalgam-
ated with the R.M. of Daly
and the Town of Erickson
with the R.M. of Clanwil-
liam. Some of the projects
over the past year included
the continuation of seal-
ing old wells including
one which was located be-
where people have hit
the ditch, and are sim-
ply awaiting a tow truck,
where everyone is okay,
just temporarily stranded.
When these kinds of
calls come in, according
to Jordan, the fire depart-
ment is dispatched along
with EMS and the RCMP.
There is a lot of manpower
that gets mobilized every
time a call is made, and it
is important to make sure
there is a real emergency
when this happens. There
are 19 firefighters, two
EMTs per ambulance,
and the RCMP who attend
each time a call is made.
The cost of the manpower
for the emergency person-
nel is covered through the
municipality and the taxes.
Its important that people
do call in to help people,
but from our perspective,
ideally if the caller could
find a safe place to pull over
and check if the people do
need help, or see what the
situation is in order to relay
that to 911, said Jordan.
He stressed the im-
neath the basement of an
older home in Minnedosa.
LSRCD also continued its
water testing program and
youth education by spon-
soring a visit from the Eco-
Van from Oak Hammock
Marsh to Tanners Cross-
ing School.
The LSRCD is discuss-
ing the possibility of host-
ing another conservation
district tour this year as
well as the possibility of
establishing a low mainte-
nance rain garden some-
where in Minnedosa.
In Council reports,
Councillor MacDowall re-
ported that Dan Quesnel
is the new chairperson for
Yellowhead Regional Em-
ployment Services.
Councillor Saler was
appointed as an alterna-
tive to the Minnedosa
Community Conference
Centre Board of Directors.
A resolution was
passed to designate 2016

portance and the appre-
ciation for people who
call in when a car is in the
ditch, however, it would be
beneficial to emergency
responders to have more
information provided to
the 911 dispatch, to ensure
that they are needed. If
people find a safe place to
pull off the road (and avoid
crossing the highway), to
assess the situation, and
then remain on scene un-
til the emergency vehicles
arrive, that would be ideal.

What Can You Do For Your Community? Running on

By HILLARY CAMPBELL
I ts that time of year
again. The time of year
when people come out of
hibernation, stretch their
arms, and wonder, what
can I do to keep myself
busy this year? Well, wor-
ry not! The answer is here.
Minnedosa is full of many
boards and service groups
that people can become a
part of.
Many people are look-
ing for a way to become
involved in something
that piques their interest,
but are unaware of how
to join. Others are simply
looking for a way to give
back to their community
in some way. The list of
ways a person can sink
their teeth into a project is
long and the benefits are
plentiful.
No matter what your
interested in, there is an
opportunity for you to
get involved. From the
Recreation Commission
to the Horticultural So-
ciety. From the YWCA
(The Womens Y), to the
Minnedosa UCT. From
the Rodeo to the Library
Committee. From Rockin
the Fields of Minnedosa to
the Regional Archives.
Whatever your inter-
est, there is a way to get
involved. According to
Nicole Synchyshyn, It is
important to fi nd a group
that they have a personal
interest in, so that volun-
teering their time is more
meaningful and enjoyable
for them. The amount
of time a person would
spend volunteering with
each group would de-
pend on the board or club
the person decided to join,
but would most likely be a
couple of hours a month,
said Synchyshyn.
For people who won-
der if they would be an as-
set to a board or club, the
answer is simple: yes.
Synchyshyn commented
that, Many people have
great ideas and skills that
are not being utilized, so
joining a board is the per-
fect way to have your voice
heard and dedicate your
time towards bettering the
community.
Many places in
town are not individu-
ally owned, but are rath-
er board run, and need
people to help make the
decisions on the day to
day operations, and oth-
ers need people to help
raise money and gener-

Dear Reena,
I have 40-year-old
feather pillows my mom
made. Can they still be
used? Phyllis
Dear Phyllis,
Consider opening the
seams and inspecting the
feathers to make sure that
they have not disintegrat-
ed. If the feathers are not
black, the pillow should
be fine after a good clean-
ing. Wash the pillows ac-
cording to the directions
on the label or hand or
machine wash the pillows
and dry well.
Fluffy Pillow Tips:
If a pillow is broken,
badly stained or old, you
are a candidate for a new
pillow. A person who is
not sleeping as well as
they should may have pil-
low problems, shoulder
and neck pain are good
indicators.
To decipher whether
a polyester pillow is worn
out, fold it over and place
a weight on it like a mug, if
the pillow stays folded, its
broken.
Check feather and
down pillows for damage
by folding the pillow over
and squeezing out the air,
if it pops open on its own,

The Key Is In The Wood

Framed art created out of old piano parts.
By HILLARY CAMPBELL

ago, however, and it has
turned into something.
jewellery. Her work is
very fairly priced, with
the least expensive being
a pair of wooden stud ear-
rings made from the wood
of the piano, that sell for
$5.00, but can range in
price up to about $60.00.
As her creative skills
grew, she also expanded
into wine corks, and any-
thing else that could be
repurposed rather than
thrown into a landfill.
Over time, as she
grew to a familiarity with
the differences between
synthetic and ivory keys,
and the quality of the
ivory, she developed an
eye for the types of ma-
terial that the Winnipeg
scrimshaw artist would
not accept for his own
art. She then had to ask
herself, do I use them
that many people have
bought her work for their
childrens music teach-
ers.
Her artwork can be
found at a number of
places close by. She sells
it at Inspire Studio of Fine
Art, as well as the Rec
Centre in Onanole, Poor
Michaels book store, and
a Bend in the Willow in
Forrest, among a number
of other places. She can
also be found at markets,
selling her wares herself.
Hume noted that
her artwork, just kind of
creates itself. She plans
on continuing to create
beauty for as long as she
can find materials to work
with.

ment of the church where
she plays the organ. The
small piano had not been
tuned for some decades,
and they had been told
that it would not hold a
tune for any significant
length of time. The piano
was then considered use-
less, and would be taken
17024gm1
to the dump. I just felt so
bad about it said Hume.
So she helped some men
take the piano apart and
took the pieces.
At first, Hume did not
use the ivory keys that
were left over. I dont
like the ivory and where
it came from, so I found
an artist in Winnipeg, and
he does scrimshaw art,
so he took the keys, said
Hume. Hume took the
wood home, and at that
point, had no idea what
she would do with it.
According to Hume,
I just thought I would
have some fun and make
some art for myself. I had
no idea it was going to Photo submitted
