Stony Mountain takes to the streets to celebrate Canada DayBy Gabrielle Piché

People lined Stony Mountain’s Main Street on Monday to watch the town’s Canada Day parade cruise by.

Stony Mountain had activities run-ning Sunday and Monday, and the parade was just one event of many.

People participated in the parade by watching the fl oats or by driving them. Those too young to drive rode their bikes.

When the parade fi nished, attendees could grab a free hotdog and cupcake at the town’s outdoor rink before the community water fi ght.

By Jo-Anne ProcterHappy birthday, Teulon!The Town of Teulon kicked off its centennial celebrations on June

27, exactly 100 years to the day that the fi rst town councillors were elected in 1919.

To celebrate the centennial milestone, current and former resi-dents of the community gathered last Saturday morning for the of-fi cial unveiling of the town’s centennial monument and to offi cially kick off the centennial celebration.

Centennial committee member and master of ceremonies Alan Campbell welcomed dignitaries and guests to the memorable event including former living mayors Bert Campbell (2002-2018), Ted Hodgkinson (1998-2001), Ed Helwer (1981-1989) and Dolly Maksy-myk, wife of the late mayor Michael Maksymyk (1974-1980 and 1989-1998).

Her Honour, Lt-Gov. of Manitoba Janice Filmon graced the podi-um acknowledging the leadership by Lakeside MLA Ralph Eichler, Selkirk Interlake and Eastman MP James Bezan, Teulon Mayor Deb-bie Kozyra, and centennial committee chair Michael Ledarney.

“As Manitobans, one of the things that we love is that powerful sense of community,” she said.

“All across our province we have cities and towns and neighbour-hoods where people come together to help one another, to build for the future and to celebrate days like today.

“It’s that spirit, the spirit that makes Teulon special. It creates a spe-cial bond that connects Manitobans to hometowns even if life has led them far away.”

Filmon offi cially unveiled the limestone monument that will stand on the corner of Main Street and Beach Road to commemorate the 100 years of the Town of Teulon.

Annual Bobby Bend Hike or Bike assembly offers big winsBy Becca Myskiw

Six École R.W. Bobby Bend School students won brand new bikes last Thursday at the annual Hike or Bike assembly.

Hike or Bike happens April through June every year at R.W. Bobby Bend and is a way to encourage students to get active before and after school. Each student who walks or bikes to school on a Tuesday during Hike or Bike gets their name entered in the year-end draw for the bikes.

Before announcing the bike winners, principal Greg Ross rode in on one of the bikes wearing a helmet, stressing the importance of bike safety.

“The thing under my helmet is very important,” said Ross to his students. “And yours is too.”

The bikes given away at the assembly were donated by community groups including the Stonewall Rockwood Fire Department, Stonewall CIBC, two from the Knights of Columbus, one by the Stonewall Lions Club and one by the Parent Advisory Council.

This year’s winners were Banx, Devynn, Cruze, Ty, Jayden and Paige. Paige was really excited about her new bike, but she’s not exactly sure what she’s going to do with it because she just got a new bike for her birth-day in February.

“I don’t know what I’ll do with it yet,” she said. “But it’s still pretty exciting.”

Paige biked to school twice during Hike or Bike and walked every other time.

R.W. Bobby Bend also celebrated a fi rst-time win. The school participates in the Dream Factory fundraiser with 39 other schools across Manitoba an-

nually. This year they raised over $500, adding to the $13,000 total and for participating, they are entered in a draw for a $100 Chapters gift card.

Guidance counsellor Heather Sanche said the school has never had a winner before, but they had one stu-dent win out of the three in the prov-ince and she’s thrilled about it. The gift card went to Ryder in kindergar-ten.

town, celebrating 100 years,” he stated.“This community was built on agriculture. The stone

monument also represents that hardship and all that those early pioneers had to endure.”

Bezan said that Teulon is a great place to come home to and the centennial is a time to refl ect on the benefi cial re-lationships formed over the years.

“The businesses that have been here for those 100 years, the services that the town provides, all the employment that has been created here in town, but more importantly the great friendships that all of us have with each other,” he

said. “This is a small town, and this is where you do know your neighbour.”

Kozyra thanked all the citizens, dig-nitaries and everyone that joined in to celebrate the milestone. She ex-pressed her great pride in being a part of the centennial celebrations.

“Our community has been built on volunteers, the volunteers that have come out for all the different events,” she said. “It is you that we have to thank for this tremendous weekend and especially to Michael Ledarney and his centennial committee.”

Teulon Grade 8 student and 4-H communications participant Keira Waldbauer closed the offi cial cere-mony by wishing the Town of Teulon happy birthday and sharing a project she wrote on the history of the town that included some facts and stories that she originally presented in her 4-H program.

“It is hard to review 100 years in one short speech,” she said.

Rocky Road Performance Horses sending six riders to nationalsBy Becca Myskiw

Amanda Mollard’s Rocky Road Per-formance Horses business continues to grow and thrive after four years.

Mollard has 30 riders and 45 horses at her farm in Woodlands where she boards, trains, breaks and breeds horses. She has clients from Beause-jour, Winnipeg and all over the Inter-lake who train with her and use her boarding facilities.

Mollard grew up riding horses. She learned from her aunt Merilee Mol-lard, who owned Triple M Ranch Rid-ing Stable near Argyle. But when she sold the farm and moved a few years ago, Mollard didn’t have many places to ride and started working in con-struction.

Mollard was still riding and wanted to do it full-time, so she and her hus-band Mike Kostrowski made a de-cision to purchase property so she could do what she loved.

“We just decided to buy the farm in Woodlands and go from there,” said Mollard.

Kostrowski takes care of the farm when Mollard takes her students to a horse show and she said he fi xes everything when they break it. Their farm in Woodlands is 158 acres. It used to be an old cattle farm, and the couple before them turned it into a perfect place for horses. Mollard has two outdoor arenas — one is sand and the other is grass. She also has one in-door arena and one barn with stables for the horses.

Their farm has grown into a fl our-ishing business where she now trains children three years and up to ride along with the many other things.

Her students learn everything from showmanship to saddle seat, includ-ing Western Pleasure, Show Hack, jumping, dressage and side saddle.

Last weekend, Mollard took seven of her more experienced riders to Red Deer, Alta., for regionals.

Of the seven, six qualifi ed for the Canadian National Arabian and Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show nationals, which will be held at the Keystone Centre in Brandon from Aug. 11 to 17.

The riders who qualifi ed include: McKenzie Schnell who rode stallion Justa Summer Knight in Show Hack, Hunter Pleasure and Sport Horse Under Saddle; Déjà Amie rode Wild-fl ower in Half-Arabian Sport Horse Under Saddle, Hunter Pleasure and Showmanship; Serena Delorme com-peted in the Walk Trot Hunter Plea-sure, Showmanship and Western Pleasure Walk Trot with Wildfl ower; Abigail Pattie also showed Wildfl ower in Hunt Seat Equestrian Walk Trot; Ava Cameron rode her four-year-old mare Whitesand Magdelyn in Saddle Seat and Country Walk Trot along with Showmanship. Daisy Ducha-rme showed her Half-Arabian Shans Eclipse in Walk Trot Hunter Pleasure, Hunt Seat Equestrian and Showman-ship; and Sophie Andre rode Lone Star Harley in Walk Trot Hunter Plea-sure, Hunt Seat Walk and Showman-ship.

Show Hack is judged on manners, performance, quality and conforma-tion. Judges look for obedient, expres-sive and animated horses that can el-evate their front end and take longer rather than more steps.

Hunter Pleasure is judged highly on manners. It shows the rider in a for-ward seat saddle, ready to jump, but they don’t do any jumping in the plea-sure class.

Sport Horse Under Saddle shows the horses as a group walking, trotting, cantering and hand galloping. They are judged on performance, manners, quality, suitability as a working spot horse and conformation.

Hunt Seat is a classic form on Eng-lish riding. The horse should look like a pleasure to ride and is judged on its form while jumping fences. Western Pleasure is a western style of riding where the horse is judged on man-ners and being relaxed and calm while keeping a relatively slow speed.

“Going into showing, is long hours of maintenance into these horses,” said Mollard. “They are worked six days a week and are fed to the nines. The girls spend lots of time with them. They ride fi ve to six days a week and spend basically their whole day at the

barn.”Over 2,000 horses from all across

North America will be at nationals in Brandon, and Mollard said probably only 500 of them are Canadian.

“I don’t think we’ve come to a horse

show where one of [my riders] hasn’t placed,” said Mollard.

Mollard’s favourite part of running Rocky Road Performance Horses is watching the children grow and per-form at the horse shows.

Canada, deservedly so, is number 1By Evan Matthews

Happy Canada Day, everyone.It is on July 1 we collectively cele-

brate the fact that we all share some-thing in common: we live in the great-est country on earth.

But don’t take my word for it. USnews.com released the 2019 Best

Countries rankings, a survey and study done in partnership with the BAV group and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Ac-cording to the article, the fi ndings are based on a study that surveyed (more than) 20,000 people from across the world, from four regions. The study was designed to assess perceptions on 80 countries on a variety of 75 dif-ferent metrics, according to the ar-ticle.

In addition to concepts essential to life: ideas like access to food and housing, education, health care and employment, the article states that quality of life includes intangible qualities like a country’s political sta-bility, individual freedom and quality of the environment.

Social scientists in the article agreed that material wealth is not the most important factor in assessing a “well-lived” lifestyle.

Canada ranks higher than anyone else in most of these aforementioned categories, meaning in the eyes of global citizens, people view the Cana-dian government as the best provider for its citizens.

The survey’s respondents named Canada number 1 for both being po-litically stable and having a well-de-veloped public education system, and then for secondary reasons such as having a good job market, according to the article. Those perceptions were supported by independent research, the article went on.

Other well developed nations like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzer-land and Finland all ranked behind us, overall.

However, Canada’s public health-care system ranked fi fth best, accord-ing to the article, but that isn’t any-thing new. It’s something we discuss and consistently work at.

In a time where our society can be polarized by debate and dissent in political conversation and discourse, it’s important to acknowledge our to-getherness, as well.

As a society, Canada shares the luxury of not only having the great-est quality of life but arguably the

greatest diversity of any country in the world.

We’re privy to different opinions, different ways of living … different people.

American Sen. Cory Booker said, “You can’t love your country without loving your countrymen and women. We don’t always have to agree, but we must empower each other. We must fi nd the common ground. We must build bridges across our differences to pursue the common good.”

We must focus on the common good, our similarities, not our differences.

With what we see happening in the U.S.A. on a regular basis, the com-mon good in our country is the coun-try itself.

We have the highest quality of life anywhere in the world.

We have the most diverse popula-tion.

We have an opportunity to be world leaders, politically and socially.

It is good to be Canadian, and it is good to acknowledge our gratitude.

So thank you to the men and women who helped to build this great coun-try, a country we still work to refi ne today.

And, once more, happy Canada Day.

I have been following with more than a little bewilderment the at-tempts by Stonewall Youth Going Green to ban single-use plastic shopping bags in Stonewall. Lead-

ers around the world are grappling with diffi cult decisions in the wake of concerns about the state of the planet; this isn’t one of them. Though by itself this ban may not change the

world, there are countless reasons to stop using these bags and coun-cil should be eager to support this easy, obvious and long overdue ini-tiative. During the debate before the last election every candidate, when asked, said without hesitation they

would support such a ban. Months have passed since then without ac-tion on this promise, and it seems council now feels more education is required and that it is the responsi-bility of the children of this commu-nity to make this happen.

This is not the response I expected. Thirty years ago, I sat at my sew-ing machine making cloth shop-ping bags for all the Beaver Scouts in this community to convince them and their families of the importance of doing away with single-use bags. While we have since been made aware that cloth bags are not the best alternatives, we certainly knew that we needed to do better than single-use plastics. And this wasn’t a new issue then — the three Rs of waste management were fi rst promoted in the 1970s as a response to overfl ow-ing landfi lls. How is almost half a century of education not enough?

Council’s suggestion that SYGG has more work to do before a motion would be put forward to ban plastic bags reminds me of 16-year-old ac-tivist Greta Thunberg’s address to the UN in December last year as she talked about the changes needed to ensure a healthy planet. My reaction to her words was one of shame on behalf of my generation. I quote her here in the hope that it will elicit the same reaction from our town’s lead-

ers:“… to do that, we have to speak

clearly, no matter how uncomfort-able that may be. You only speak of green eternal economic growth be-cause you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about mov-ing forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake. You are not mature enough to tell it like is. Even that burden you leave to us children. But I don’t care about being popular. I care about climate justice and the living planet.”

This community owes a debt of gratitude to SYGG for speaking the truth about a ban that should have been in place many, many years ago and for fi ghting for green solutions that we adults have known to be necessary but have been too com-placent to attempt.

I am asking my elected offi cials to stop hiding behind the children of this community, to keep their prom-ises to them, to show them what it means to lead, and to inspire them to be the leaders we need them to be.

Communities large and small across the globe have taken this very small fi rst step; surely, we can do the same.

Hello friends. Thanks for stopping by to enjoy this week’s angling stories from our fellow fi shers.

Sometimes you catch fi sh you didn’t expect to and other times you lose a fi sh in a most surprising way. Last week I met a young bearded guy shielding himself from the blazing afternoon sun with a cap and large sunglasses while fi shing in the Red River upstream of Selkirk. His solid compact body complemented his quick movements. He spoke in short phrases. His rod was resting in a holder with his line trailing out into the water. Since there was no sign of activity for the moment, I asked him if he had ever had a memorable fi shing experience.

“Well, I don’t but I was with my son Tyler when he sure did,” he exclaimed.

“What’s your name?” I asked.“I’m Corey Samborski from Selkirk,”

he replied. He went on telling that he had an

aunty who has a cottage on the lake-shore by Gimli. One summer day, members of the family were lounging and playing around on the sand by the water when young Tyler got it into his head he wanted to go fi shing.

Corey, being a good dad, went up to the cottage, pulled out Tyler’s kid fi sh-ing rod, found some pieces of steak in the fridge for bait and set his son up, even casting out for him. Corey and the grownups went back to their fun. Little Tyler, being a kid, immediately

lost interest in fi shing. He dropped his rod and ran to play with his cous-ins. Corey saw that and called his son over.

“Tyler,” Corey counselled his son, “you don’t set out a baited hook in the water for fi shing and not stay with it.”

“OK dad,” Tyler said and sat down in the sand by his rod as he looked longingly over his shoulder, watching other young family members kicking a football around in the sand.

Tyler couldn’t help himself. He jumped up and started running again to his cousins when he heard the sharp voice of his father, “Tyler, your rod’s sliding into the water!”

The boy spun around and raced back to his rod. It wasn’t moving. Sec-onds passed. Tyler stood over his rod laying in the sand, watching. Sud-denly it jerked toward the water. Tyler pounced on it. Rod in hand, he hauled up. He could feel a shuddering heavy weight on the end of his line.

“I’ve got a fi sh,” he screamed out, which brought all of the kids and half the grownups rushing to his side.

He planted his feet in the wet sand at the water’s edge. The waves splashed up his legs as he reeled in. His line snapped, springing from the back-side of one wave then disappearing in the crest of the next one. Then, in the shallow between waves, a huge olive-green walleye could be seen being towed to shore as Tyler hastily reeled in his line. Corey, now just as excited

responded to a two-vehicle collision at the inter-section of Road 90 North and Road 7 East.

Investigators determined that a 29-year-old woman was driving a SUV west on Road 90 North when it collided with a pickup truck trav-elling south on Road 7 East. There is a stop sign at this intersection on Road 90 North.

The driver of the pickup truck, a 51-year-old Rockwood man, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The 29-year-old female SUV driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Neither drugs nor alcohol are thought to be factors in the collision. However, an RCMP spokesperson notes that “it does not appear that the deceased driver was wearing her seatbelt at

the time of the collision.”Stonewall RCMP, along with a forensic colli-

sion reconstructionist, continue to investigate.The RCMP also urges everyone to travel safely

on highways, since nine Manitobans lost their lives in motor vehicle collisions in an eight-day period. There will be increased highway traffi c since more people are heading to beaches, cot-tages, campsites and other holiday destinations.

To ensure that everyone reaches their destina-tions safely, RCMP ask Manitobans to drive so-ber, wear a seatbelt, and slow down and drive to conditions. Drivers should also pay attention to the road at all times, keep a safe distance be-tween their vehicle and the vehicle ahead of them, and put cellphones away.

The tale of the master fi shermanThe tale of the master fi sherman

as his son, jumped into the waves and following Tyler’s line grabbed the fi sh. Tyler’s fi rst fi sh was a master.

The next day, not far from where I met Corey, I happened upon Aina Ra-mon from Winnipeg just as she was landing her fi rst-ever fi sh, which, like Tyler’s catch, turned out to be a mas-ter. That’s one big cat, Aina.

I had the good fortune to meet a very interesting chap last weekend who has done a lot of travelling and told me the interesting story of a lost fi sh. Bill Foresythe is his name, and if you had been standing with us, you would have seen him as an average man with a kind face framed in fairly long grey hair who spoke with the fl u-idity of a well-read man. He was boat fi shing, he said, with his father-in-law Fred Brenet and brother-in-law Law-rence Brenet on Buck Lake west of Red Deer, Alta.

It was a nice, calm, sunny day as the

men sat in Fred’s very well-appointed boat fi tted with plush white uphol-stery and expensive carpets. After a bit Fred caught a fairly large walleye and as he brought it close to the side of the boat he called out to Bill and Lawrence that he didn’t want the fi sh to be dropped onto his nice carpet. He asked his young son Lawrence to fetch a large old plastic bag in the tackle box, saying he would put the fi sh in it when he landed it. Up came the fi sh above the side of the boat. Fred grabbed it by the gills. Lawrence held the bag under the fi sh. Fred dropped the fi sh down into the bag and it just kept on going down and down straight through a hole in the bottom of the bag. With a parting splash and a wiggle of its tail, the walleye dove for the safety of the deep. One lost fi sh but one saved boat carpet!

Well, I hope you had an enjoyable Canada Day. Bye for now.

Community Living Interlake relying on community supportBy Becca Myskiw

Community Living Interlake (CLI) held its annual general meeting in Something Beautiful last Thursday.

The 53-year-old non-profi t organiza-tion runs two social enterprises out of the building and supports adults who live with intellectual disabilities.

CLI’s day program looks after 40 to 50 clients.

Something Beautiful is a gift shop/café in Stonewall with nearly half of the products they sell coming from local entrepreneurs. The social enter-prise has clients of CLI working with job coaches to experience roles they wouldn’t otherwise have the opportu-nity to be a part of.

Executive director Jimm Simon said it creates an atmosphere where the clients and customers intermingle.

“We’re about inclusion and normal-ization and being a part of the com-munity,” said Simon. “So that’s why we’re on Main Street. We contribute to economic development and the growth of Main Street just like any other business in town.”

CLI is the second largest employer in Stonewall with 90 employees. They have nearly 150 clients and look after six houses in town that have full-time assisted living for 20. There are also ten people in apartments that are supported independent living.

The general meeting started with an hour for socializing and then went to the formal part. Board chair Holly Mulvihill said 2018 was a big year for the organization with renovations on the old Home Hardware building be-ing nearly completed to allow the day program and café to open.

Ninety-eight per cent of CLI’s fund-ing comes from the Manitoban gov-ernment. Three months into this year, CLI was told their funding would be cut by 15 per cent.

“This will be a challenge for the or-ganization,” said Mulvihill. “But it will be monitored closely by Jimm and the board members.”

Mulvihill said CLI is planning to do another fashion show after they raised over $5,000 with the one last year, but with major cuts they still have to do more.

Simon said his main job right now is fi nding sources of revenue, but CLI will have to count on continued com-munity support.

He brought up one of the organiza-tion’s newest and most useful pur-chases — a water wheel chair. The chair gives people with mobility is-sues the ability to join their friends on outings to Quarry Park or Birds Hill Park. They can now go in the water instead of watching their friends have

Summertime means fun and learning at summer campBy Gabrielle Piché

School is out and it’s every parent’s concern: What’s the best way for your child to spend his or her free time dur-ing the summer break? To some, it’s a time for children to play and have fun. For others, it’s an opportunity for kids to take a fi eld trip, hone their studies or learn new skills — including dance, art and canoeing.

Parents looking to put their chil-dren in programs this summer have a number of options to choose from.

Youth for Christ - Youth for Christ has a new camp theme every week, beginning with their leadership camp on Tuesday, July 23. The leadership camp is for youth 14 and older, and it lasts two days. Kids and parents par-ticipating go on an offsite nature trip

to develop their outdoor skills.The non-profi t’s camps range from

one to fi ve days long, and the age group changes per camp. The centre will host camps on making beauty products, baking, car maintenance, dance, food and the zoo, among other options.

Each camp runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the exception of dance camp, which runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.

One-day camps cost $50, two-day camps cost $80, and three-day camps cost $100. However, the centre pro-vides discounts for campers attend-ing multiple camps and for families sending siblings.

People looking for more information or wanting to register can visit stone-

wallstudents.com or call 204-467-4774.Schoenfelder Mennonite Church

- Campers at Schoenfelder Menno-nite Church will head through a time warp this summer.

The church is hosting its “Time Lab: Discovering Jesus from Eternity Past to Eternity Future” camp from Mon-day, July 15 to Friday, July 19.

Five-year-olds to students entering Grade 8 can attend, and there’s no registration deadline. The camp runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. During these hours, kids will learn Bible lessons, play games, make crafts and have snacks.

The camp is free, but kids must bring their own lunches. For more informa-

fun without them.The only problem, Simon said, is the

water wheel chair costs $4,000 and CLI doesn’t have that money in their bud-get this year or next, so staff worked tirelessly to come up with the money.

Over the winter, CLI came up with $1,500 on their own, but with $2,500 still remaining, they needed more.

The Stonewall United Church re-cently gave $1,000 from their annual Christmas Cantata, and then Simon wrote a grant request to the Interlake Community Foundation, which was approved.

Lloyd Jensen’s annual donation in his sister’s memory was the fi nal amount needed to make the purchase

of the water wheel chair. Jensen’s sis-ter Donna worked for the organiza-tion, and after her passing, he is still involved with them.

Simon said the story of the water wheel chair shows how community support keeps CLI going and how thankful they are to have it.

Stonewall duo to bring their songs to Winnipeg Folk FestivalBy Gabrielle Piché

Erin Corbin and Cory Sulyma start-ed forming their relationship while working at a music shop after high school. Years later, the two are in love — and preparing to hit the stage at the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

While performing, the duo is known as folk-roots group Two Crows for Comfort. They’ll perform at the festi-val on Sunday, July 14 in a workshop called Young & Bold: Celebrating 20 Years of YPP.

The couple will play on stage with artists who’ve taken the Winnipeg Folk Festival Stingray Young Perform-ers Program.

The program allows experienced musicians to mentor young artists giving them tips about the industry. The young artists perform on stage at the festival following their mentoring sessions.

Old Man Luedecke mentored Two Crows for Comfort two years ago through the program.

Corbin and Sulyma will join Olivia Lunny, Jesse Matas, Roman Clarke and Taylor Janzen. Each musical act will take their turn performing.

“We kind of cue each other,” Corbin said.

Two Crows for Comfort will also play

off-stage at the Winnipeg Folk Festi-val.

The duo is returning this year as part of the festival’s minstrel program, where artists play unplugged in areas that festivalgoers don’t normally hear music. This way, people will always have music around, even when they aren’t near the main stages.

Corbin enjoys the program because the festival listeners are all music-lovers.

Corbin sings and plays the tambou-rine while Sulyma plays the guitar, the harmonica and the drum — at the same time.

Two Crows for Comfort have been playing together for the past two years, which Corbin said began for fun.

The two performed casually at coffee houses and on open mic nights.

“Then, we started getting asked to do more,” Corbin said.

As the pair gained popularity, they decided they needed a name. Sulyma kept a notebook with his song ideas. While fl ipping through it, he found a line reading “two crows for comfort.”

“We were like, ‘Oh, this works, we’re two,’” Corbin said.

The duo lives in Stonewall, but they’ve travelled beyond Manitoba’s

boundaries for music.On Oct. 16, 2018, Two Crows for

Comfort played in New York City at Rockwood Music Hall. The following month, they performed in Toronto for Indie Week Canada.

Corbin and Sulyma have taken their songs to Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. They released their album 17 Feet in 2018.

The music duo is booked for several performances this summer, includ-ing Canada Day at The Forks, Altona’s Manitoba Sunfl ower Festival and Teu-lon’s I AM Festival.

Two Crows for Comfort will be on stage at Winnipeg Folk Festival from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 14. They’ll perform on the Shady Grove stage.

Elementary students soak up the sun to celebrate fi nal days of schoolBy Gabrielle Piché

Students of École R.W. Bobby Bend School celebrated their fi nal days of the school year with a picnic at Kins-men Lake.

Grades 1 through 4 took turns going to the beach last week. The school’s Grade 1 classes went fi rst, bringing their backpacks and sand buckets with them on June 24.

The kids spent most of the day play-ing in the sand, building castles and digging moats. Teachers and parent volunteers supervised and helped the kids in their engineering pursuits.

Some parent volunteers stayed off the beach and cooked a hotdog lunch for the kids.

“It’s a nice kick-off for summer to celebrate all the hard work the kids have done all year,” said Donna Loo-chuk, a teacher at the school.

Loochuk has taken her students to Kinsmen Lake since she began teach-ing at École R.W. Bobby Bend. In 12 years, her class has only missed the beach once due to weather.

“It’s a long-standing tradition,” Loo-chuk said.

She said she loves to watch the kids have fun and use their creativity.

Cassie Turick, a Grade 1 student, said she’d looked forward to the picnic day.

“I was excited to make a big hole,” Turick said. “I can play in it.”

Her excitement about the fi eld trip was echoed by many of her peers, in-cluding Evan Smallwood.

“It’s ‘cause I’m at the beach,” Small-wood said.

Classes from École R.W. Bobby Bend School have been going to Kinsmen Lake as an end-of-the-year trip for over 12 years.

SIRL storytime in Archie Gray Park Stonewall’s Archie Gray Park has become a popular gathering place for youngsters this sum-mer. Every second Friday for July and August, Miss Kelsey of the South Interlake Regional Library Stonewall branch will host Story-time in the Park for all ages with stories, crafts, songs, bubbles and more. The dates for the re-mainder of the summer are July 12 and 26 and Aug. 9 and 23 start-ing at 10:30 a.m. Don’t forget to bring your own blanket.

Old Time Dance brings in outsiders to celebrate TeulonBy Becca Myskiw

An Old Time Dance brought nearly 300 people to the Teulon Rockwood Centennial Centre last Friday to cel-ebrate the town’s 100th birthday.

The dance was hosted by the Teulon Senior’s Club. The club hosts an Old Time Dance every month, except for July and August, and the centennial dance was the second one they orga-nized for June.

Club president Eileen Kemp said the dance was very similar to their regular ones, with one difference being they didn’t announce the birthdays or an-niversaries of those who participated.

Another difference was the dance was free for everyone. The centennial committee paid for the hall rental, food and band, so Kemp said the club had no need to make money because they didn’t spend any and weren’t go-ing to unless more than 300 people showed up.

The dance had a silent auction, a cold cut lunch and The Gemstars playing music for the crowd. Kemp said they try to get a different band for each dance, but they use the Gem-stars twice a year and wanted to book them for the centennial celebrations.

Kemp said the dance was something exclusively for the seniors in the com-munity and gave them a way to cel-ebrate the way they wanted to.

“The seniors always like to dance,” she said. “That dance fl oor is full all the time when we have a senior dance every month.”

Like many of the other centennial events, the Old Time Dance brought people from outside the community to hit the dance fl oor.

“There’s a lot of people from out of town that I don’t know here,” said Kemp.

Jam packed weekend to celebrate Teulon’s anniversaryBy Gabrielle Piché

Teulon buzzed with life over the long weekend as people celebrated the town’s 100th anniversary.

Festivities ran from Thursday through Monday, giving Teulon’s homeowners and visitors lots to do over the weekend. Teulon’s centennial committee began planning the cel-ebration years in advance.

On Saturday morning, the town un-veiled a monument marking its an-niversary. Lt.-Gov. Janice Filmon re-vealed the monument to the crowd.

After the unveiling, people lined the streets of Teulon to watch as 84 parade fl oats made their way through town.

The Teulon and District Chamber of Commerce got involved in the anni-versary’s planning early. They booked country music group Doc Walker to play a concert in the town’s arena Sat-urday night.

The entire town seemed to open up over the weekend. Teulon’s schools, museum and churches allowed peo-ple in for tours and open houses. On Friday, Teulon Golf and Country Club held a 100th anniversary tournament.

There were activities in Green Acres Park Friday through Monday. Old cars, antique tractors, hamster balls and axe throwers took their space out-

doors. At other times, people could go on wagon rides or pet animals in the pop-up petting zoo.

Green Acres Park was the stage for Métis activities and many bands, like Stone Soup and The Letkeman Broth-ers.

Visitors could watch fi reworks light up Teulon’s sky on Sunday and come back Monday morning for Canada Day celebrations.

“The whole event has been unbe-lievable,” said Claudette Griffi n, a res-ident of Teulon.

Griffi n said because of the event, she’d seen people she hadn’t in years, including friends from grade school.

“Bouquets to all the volunteers,” Griffi n said. “Without having those type of people in your community, something like this doesn’t happen.”

Adam and Jennifer Kohinski spent their entire weekend participating in Teulon’s 100th anniversary activities. Adam, 11, said he liked riding a pony the best.

Jennifer, 13, made bannock for the fi rst time and performed on Sunova Stage with others from Green Acres Art Centre.

Teulon’s festivities offi cially ended at 5 p.m. on Monday. Ruff House Rowdies ran a dog show during

Teulon’s 100th anniversary celebrations.

Brant-Argyle students canoe in Nopiming Provincial ParkBy Becca Myskiw

Three Brant-Argyle School Grade 8 students embarked on a canoe trip to end their school year.

Teacher James Swan, who was in charge of the trip, took the students to Seagrim Lake in Nopiming Provincial Park from June 19 to 21.

Swan has been teaching at the school for a few years and started the canoe trip last year. He said it builds resil-iency in the students who go on the trip and gives them real-life skills.

“I think it’s a really great experience for the kids,” said Swan.

The drive to Nopiming Provincial Park was almost three hours. Princi-pal Sarah Hadfi eld also went on the trip and drove up with Swan and the

three students. The students who went on the trip

this year were returning from last year. The school also does an annual day trip to Norris Lake with the Grade 5/6 class and they learn to canoe there for the fi rst time to prepare for the three-day trip.

Swan has been canoeing for years and said it’s one of his favourite things to do, which is one of the main reasons he started the trip at Brant-Argyle. He hopes more students get involved with canoeing and attain the skills it gives you both physically and mentally.

On the trip, the group not only pad-dled across several lakes, they made three portages to different lakes. The students had to learn paddling strokes, steering techniques and ca-noe safety before they were allowed on the water.

They also learned to pitch tents, cooked food on an open fi re, went

swimming and did a bit of fi shing. They caught one jackfi sh but lost it while reeling it in.

Putting on the trip wasn’t diffi cult for Swan. You have to have wilderness knowledge, know fi rst aid and keep everything as safe as possible on a trip like the one they went on.

Swan chose the location mainly be-cause of its scenery. The water is crys-tal clear and it’s a natural calving area for caribou. The group had hoped to see calves, but he said they didn’t during the trip.

“Last year I had a student say, ‘Ev-erything looks like a computer desk-top picture,’” said Swan. “It’s just that nice there.”

The canoe trip also gave the students a chance to bond with their teachers while learning essential skills and having a good time away from the classroom. Swan said the trip went smoothly and everyone got along ex-tremely well.

He hopes the trip can continue with more students attending and wanting to come back.

Rockwood council news in briefBy Jennifer McFee

• At the June 26 committee of the whole meeting, the Czarneckis updated council on a conditional use that was originally issued in 2003.

The original conditional use was to allow for the establishment of a service station and auto sales in an agricultural zone. Conditions included up-grading the existing facility to comply with codes and requirements. The conditional use also in-dicated that a maximum of 10 vehicles could be stored on the property, and they all needed to be in working order. The vehicles needed to be validly licensed or have Certifi cates of Inspec-tion. No other vehicles or vehicle parts were to be stored outside any building on the property.

Due to non-compliance issues, it is now an en-forcement fi le with the South Interlake Planning District.

• Kirt Ansell provided information about his request to move a 1,100-square-foot house from its current location on Road 14E to a land site that he owns on Road 97, which is seven miles away. The bungalow, which is currently owned by Rock Lake Colony, is made with all-wood frame construction and has dry-walled ceilings and wood-panelled walls. It will be reno-vated in order to meet current building codes, as directed by the South Interlake Planning Board and Manitoba Hydro.

It will be forwarded to an upcoming meeting for council’s consideration.

• The RM of Rockwood will buy a 2019 Caterpillar Motor Grader. After trade-in, the net price will be $305,402.66 plus tax.

• The next regular meeting of council is scheduled for Wednesday, July 10 at 9 a.m.


Celebrating Métis culture during centennial festivitiesBy Gabrielle Piché

Many people left Teulon’s celebra-tions on Sunday with a new blue drawstring bag slung over their shoulders.

The bags were free presents to Teu-lon’s residents and visitors from The Interlake Metis Association Inc.

Even without people toting the bags around, Métis culture could be found in Teulon throughout the weekend — it was a major part of the town’s cen-tennial celebration.

A section of Green Acres Park was remodelled as Old Time Village on Sunday. There, people in Teulon could learn more about Métis culture.

Folks could watch a blacksmith hammer in the heat and a wool spin-ner pump her machine. Kids could learn weaving techniques used to make Métis sashes.

Julie Desrochers taught kids how to weave during the event. Desrochers has been making sashes for 10 years.

“I’m just making sure that the art stays alive,” Desrochers said. “The more people you can teach it to, the more chance of it staying alive.”

She said today sashes don’t have much meaning. However, they were symbolic in the past.

“The Métis started wearing them as a decorative thing,” Desrochers said. “A lot of the men in the same family would’ve worn the same patterns.”

Métis people adopted sashes from the French Canadian voyageurs. The more decorative the sash, the wealth-ier the Métis man was.

There was an artifact exhibit in Old Time Village displaying Métis history. Flint arrow heads lay beside fox and boar skulls. The Métis would make arrow heads from fl int because the rock was commonly found.

A peace pipe in the shape of a toma-hawk lay on the exhibit’s table. So did models of animals the Métis would hunt, like beavers and skunks.

Métis dance took Sunova Stage Sun-day afternoon. Rylee Sandberg hoop danced to powwow music mixed with techno and hip hop.

Sandberg is only in elementary school, but she’s been powwow danc-ing since she was two years old. When she danced in Teulon, she did so with 13 hoops.

Hoop dancers don’t stop moving during a performance, and they often use their hoops to make shapes that symbolize nature.

Sandberg made a ball from several hoops to represent the earth, moon and sun. She spread hoops out like

eagle wings and butterfl ies, among other things.

Afterwards, Norman Chief Memo-rial Dancers brought their traditional jigging and music to the stage. At cer-tain points, they invited crowd mem-bers to dance with them.

People got to taste Métis culture with free bannock. Madeline Arm-strong Metis had a bannock baking station where folks could learn to make the treat over a fi re.

“A lot of people have never tasted it or know what it’s like, so it’s kind of nice,” said Mitch Chornoby, a volun-teer helping people make bannock.

Chornoby’s wife, Adele, had ban-nock recipe cards ready for those who wished to make the dish at home.

Additionally, Shirley Cookson and Kaitlyn Swaikosei had made about 600 pieces of bannock before the weekend. Event attendees could take two for free.

“I think it’s important for people to see culture and tradition,” Swaikosei said.

Linda Lamoureaux, chair of Teu-lon’s branch of The Interlake Metis Association Inc., echoed Swaikosei’s remarks.

“It feels wonderful to be acknowl-edged, especially for the Teulon centennial, because a lot of people don’t even know we exist here,” Lamoureaux said.

She said many people came up to talk to her about Métis culture throughout the day.

Kaitlyn Swaikosei holds a Métis hunting knife and a peace pipe designed like a tomahawk.

Golf tournament celebrates Teulon’s 100th By Becca Myskiw

Teulon Golf & Country Club host-ed a golf tournament last Friday to celebrate Teulon’s 100th birthday.

General manager Janis Dola said the tournament is to celebrate the town and give people a chance to come from all around and cele-brate the weekend.

“The golf tournament is com-memorating all of the events,” said Dola. “A lot of people love golf, and this has been such a big part of their lives because this club was built in 1967.”

The tournament brought out over 80 golfers two hours into it and had participants from all over coming out for a game of golf.

“We’re just celebrating being here in the community with the com-munity,” she said, helping a group of golfers from Winnipeg Beach fi nd their way onto the course.

worship with us> FAITH

Luke 9:62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fi t for the kingdom of God.”

“Don’t Look Back!” seems to be the message. This might at fi rst glance might seem to suggest forgetting history or not honouring traditions. Yet when read in context with the Elisha’s call to be a prophet, Jesus’ words take on a different meaning.

1 Kings 19:19-21 So he set out from there, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, who was ploughing. There were twelve yoke of oxen ahead of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle over him. He left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, ‘Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.’ Then Elijah said to him, ‘Go back again; for what have I done to you?’ He returned from following him, took the yoke of oxen, and slaughtered them; using the equipment from the oxen, he boiled their fl esh, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out and followed Elijah, and became his servant.

I believe Jesus’ is warning against our ability to

move toward a goal while focussing on something else. Like driving while texting, or plowing while looking backwards, living life without keeping our focus on Jesus’ teachings will lead to unin-tended or disastrous consequences.

When asked to summarize the law that Jesus came to fulfi ll he responded

Matthew 22:37-40 He said to him, ‘ “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and fi rst commandment. And a sec-ond is like it: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’

Keeping focus on these commands will help keep us living the life we have been created to live. Also, please put away the cell phones while driving.

Walk in Time extended throughout the summer

By Becca MyskiwWalk in Time was just one of the events held over

the weekend in celebration of Teulon turning 100.The event was put on by the Green Acres Art Cen-

tre and the Teulon and District Museum. The walk included 34 historical destinations, business and homes, around the town marked with a sign. Each sign had a write-up about the building’s timeline and, where possible, some had photos of what they used to look like.

There was a map of Teulon with a star at each point, but the star didn’t say what the building was. The map came with a blank pamphlet for each person participating in the event to write down what each star was. Once they had completed their pamphlets, they put them in a draw at the centennial dinner on Sunday where three winners were chosen.

Winners were Brooklyn and Kiera Waldbauer, Lorne McLarty and Kelsey Hancox. Three of the winners were students and one was a senior. Lana Knor of Green Acres Art Centre said that Walk in Time is for people of all ages.

The event generated a lot of positive feedback. It was so popular with community members and those visiting the town, Knor said they’re extending Walk in Time to go throughout the summer and possibly make it a permanent part of Teulon.

“We got all this positive feedback and were like ‘What can we do now?’ ” said Knor.

Knor said they’re also looking at partnering with the school and having Walk in Time be a teaching tool for the Grade 2 class when they learn about Teulon’s history.

The idea for the smash hit event came from the Manitoba Theatre Project when they visited Teulon last October. Knor said they had given suggestions on spicing up the centennial event and one of them was doing a scavenger hunt based on the town’s rich history.

“And then it just kind of came to us,” said Knor. “’Why don’t we call it Walk in Time because it goes with the theme?’ ”

Walk in Time was funded by the centennial com-mittee and worked on by the art centre and muse-um. Knor said planning started in January and set-ting up took the whole week. Some of the write-ups for each historical building came from the owners of the place, while others were written by Amy Del-

Fifty-four Starting Blocks graduates prepare for 2032By Becca Myskiw

The class of 2032 graduated from Starting Blocks on June 26.

Facility director Brenda Kaminski was the MC of the night and started by asking where the year went, then gave a few wise words of her own.

“I want you all to close your eyes and I want you to think about their Grade 12 graduation,” said Kaminski. “It’s going to happen — 2032.”

Every year Kaminski has parents coming up to her to ask if their child is going to be OK, and her answer is always yes. She asks the parents what they want for their children and the three most common answers are what Kaminski said are most important: to be happy, to be kind and to be a con-tributing member of society.

“To paraphrase Jack Johnson,” she said. “Your children are going to change the world with their two hands. They’re going to make it a bet-ter place with their two hands. They’re going to make it a kinder place with their two hands. Your children are go-ing to be amazing.”

The children performed a few songs led by teacher Bev Ballantyne, ending their performance with “It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Our Friends.”

Before the children received their di-plomas, the child care teachers played a slideshow they had been working on all year. The presentation featured photos of the graduates throughout the year at Starting Blocks doing dif-ferent things and celebrating differ-ent holidays.

Some of the pictures were pictures of the class in Halloween costumes, doing an Easter egg hunt, learning about science and playing hide-and-seek.

Fifty-four children crossed the stage to receive their diplomas follow-ing the formal part of the ceremony. Each child received two books in their package and each graduate stopped for a photo with teacher Bev, some even giving her a hug.

Interlake Blue Jays’ losing streak reaches four gamesStaff

The end of June wasn’t too kind to the Interlake Blue Jays.

Interlake wrapped up the month with four consecutive Manitoba Ju-nior Baseball League losses, including a tough 8-7 decision to the Carillon Sultans on June 26.

Carillon scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and then added two more in the seventh to complete the comeback win.

Noah Cnockaert-Ducharme led In-terlake with two runs scored while Ben Anderson, Derek Petrasko, Liam Allen, Brennan Cheasley and Andrew Everitt also crossed the plate safely.

On June 24, the Blue Jays were de-feated 10-0 by the St. James A’s.

The previous week started well for the Blue Jays but it ended on a sour note.

Interlake began the week with an exciting 7-6 home victory over the Al-tona Bisons on June 19 in a game that needed three extra innings to decide a winner.

Altona forced the extra innings after tying the score at 5-5 with a run in the top of the seventh. The Bisons then added another run in the 10th but the Blue Jays battled back to score a pair in the bottom of the inning for the ex-citing win.

Max Morton led Interlake with a pair of hits and a run scored. The other Blue Jays’ runs were plated by Petrasko, Anderson, Cheasley, Cole Olfert, Everitt and Jeremy Wasilewski.

Brandon LaFournaise pitched one inning to earn the victory.

Two nights later, Interlake was de-feated 7-1 by the visiting Pembina Val-ley Orioles.

Pembina Valley scored twice in both the second and fourth innings and then added three more in the sixth.

Anderson was two-for-three at the plate and scored the Blue Jays’ lone run in the fi fth.

On June 23, Interlake was beaten

14-5 by the Elmwood Giants. Elm-wood scored seven runs in the top of the seventh to turn a close game into a rout.

Cnockaert-Ducharme scored twice for the Interlake while Petrasko, Allen, and Cheasley each scored once.

The Blue Jays, now 5-14 on the sea-son, are 10.5 games back of the fi rst-place Elmwood Giants.

Interlake will battle Elmwood on Fri-day (7 p.m.) and Pembina Valley in a doubleheader (1 p.m. and 4 p.m.) on Sunday. All three games are on the road.

Golf Manitoba junior teams receive funding boostStaff

The Golf Manitoba inter-provincial junior teams will receive a major funding boost for 2019.

In April, the Alex and Peggy Colo-nello Foundation made a $60,000 donation to Golf Manitoba. A por-tion of that donation was earmarked to provide fi nancial assistance to the members of the Golf Manitoba in-ter-provincial junior boys’ and girls’ teams that will travel to Golf Canada national championships.

With the donation, each team mem-ber will qualify to receive up to $1,800 in travel assistance. In addition to the team members, the remaining quota

spot awarded will also receive fi nan-cial assistance to help with travel to the respective national champion-ship.

The 2019 Golf Manitoba inter-provincial junior teams will include the top three fi nishers in each of the Manitoba junior men’s and women’s championships that will take place July 6-9 at the Elmhurst Golf & Coun-try Club and the Pine Ridge Golf Club.

The 2019 Golf Canada Junior Girls’ Championship will take place July 30 to Aug. 2 in Lethbridge. The Canadian Junior Boys’ Championship will be held Aug. 12-15 in Hartland, N.B.

Local players invited to MJHL Prospects Development CampStaff

The Manitoba Junior Hockey League released its 2019 Prospects Develop-ment Camp roster and schedule last week. The camp will be held July 25-28 in Winnipeg at the Seven Oaks Sportsplex.

Seventy-six players born in 2002 and 2003 will attend the camp, comprised of eight goaltenders, 24 defencemen and 44 forwards. Players will be orga-nized into four camp teams through-out the weekend while participating in a loaded schedule of on-ice and off-ice development activities.

Athletes were recognized for their excellence and dedication to sport life at the school.

Grace Fines received the Junior Var-sity Female Athlete of the Year award. Fines was very involved in SCI athlet-ics. She was a member of the volley-ball, basketball, fastball and track and fi eld teams. She was named a game star at the MHSAA provincials and was selected as a league all star in the West Winnipeg Athletic Conference. She is very coachable, has natural leadership skills and is a great team-mate.

Tyler Hogg received the Junior Var-sity Male Athlete of the Year award. Hogg is described as an athlete that doesn’t limit himself to one sport, car-ries himself with modest self-confi -dence, is intelligent in school and on the playing fi eld/court. He was part of the volleyball, basketball, curl-ing, badminton, beach volleyball and baseball teams. Hogg always com-petes to be the one of the best, has a great work ethic and never quit atti-tude. He always shows respect to of-fi cials, coaches and other players.

Hunter Lupyrypa received the Var-sity Female Athlete of the Year award. Lupyrypa is described as an absolute pleasure to coach who listens intently at timeouts and then executes what-ever is asked of her. She celebrates with her team in success and she owns defeat with her team. She com-mits wholeheartedly to any team that she belongs to, works hard in practic-es and games and is a leader on and off the court. She played volleyball, basketball and badminton.

Chris Wiebe received the Varsity Male Athlete of the Year award. He was a multi-sport athlete, a team lead-er, a great teammate and an outstand-ing ambassador for SCI. Wiebe played eight different sports during his four-year high school career. Wrapping up his Grade 12 year, he participated on seven different teams.

He was named MVP of the varsity boys’ basketball team, was the top singles badminton player at SCI as well as the top player in the province. Coaches, teammates and opponents describe Wiebe as outgoing, tremen-dously skilled, and hard working.

Brock Couch and Stefan Doll pre-sented the annual Murray Couch SCI Ram Award to Gio Ciulla. Murray Couch was very involved in sport in the community until he passed away in 2014. The award is given to an ath-lete that dedicates themselves, makes no excuses, has a strong work ethic and a passion for not only his or her personal achievements but also the achievements of others.

Memorial golf tournament raises more than $13,000By Jennifer McFee

The fi rst annual Ryan Grandmont Memorial Golf Tournament proved to be a swinging success.

The sold-out tournament took place on Saturday, June 22 at Bel Acres Golf and Country Club, where 176 golfers teed off in honour of the local man. Later that day, more than 230 people gathered for dinner to wrap up the event.

Grandmont lost a battle to pancreatic cancer on June 24, 2018, two days after his 40th birthday. Add-ing to the signifi cance of the event, the tournament was held on the day that Grandmont would have turned 41.

Growing up in Argyle, Grandmont was a familiar face at the Argyle outdoor rink. He attended Stone-wall Collegiate Institute and then studied business administration at Red River College.

He worked for his family’s farm machinery deal-ership, Leo’s Sales and Service, which was started by his grandpa.

Carl Boonstra organized the golf tournament, along with Ryan McIvor, Nathan Brunel and Travis Williams.

“He was a very good friend of ours,” Boonstra said. “It was an event where family and friends could get together and remember a great guy while raising funds for a good cause. Everyone had a very good time.”

Back in November, Boonstra posted a notice about the event on Facebook. By the end of the day, the tournament was completely sold out.

In total, the event raised more than $13,000. A

majority of the funds will go to the Interlake Com-munity Foundation to start several scholarships in Grandmont’s name. Two scholarships will focus on Stonewall, and one will focus on Beausejour, which was Grandmont’s sales territory. The remainder of the funds will go towards another cause, and the re-cipient is still being decided.

In addition to fun on the golf course, another big draw was the auction prizes.

“We had a huge silent auction. Our grand prize giveaway was a trip for two to Churchill. Calm Air was kind enough to donate two tickets to anywhere in Manitoba, so we made it Churchill because other donors from Churchill gave us three nights in the Tundra Inn and beluga whale tour and a polar bear tour,” Boonstra said.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip. The winner was Glen Lefl ey.”

On behalf of the organizers, Boonstra extends his gratitude to everyone who showed their support.

“We’d like to thank all the community for support-ing the golf tournament, including everybody that donated to the silent auction or hole sponsorships,” he said.

“We’d also like to thank everybody for coming out. We’re looking forward to it again next year.”

Anyone interested in next year’s event can mark their calendar for Friday, June 19, 2020, for the sec-ond annual Ryan Grandmont Memorial Golf Tour-nament. For more information, contact Boonstra at 204-461-0793 or [email protected].

Stonewall to host MJBL all-star gameBy Brian Bowman

The very best talent in the Manitoba Junior Baseball League will be on dis-play in Stonewall this Saturday.

The annual all-star game will start at 1 p.m. A home-run derby is set to be-gin at 11 a.m.

It’s a pretty big deal that Stonewall gets to host this event.

“We have a pretty good thing going on here with the junior program the last couple of years,” said Interlake Blue Jays’ head coach Adam Kirk. “People have liked it so we thought ‘Hey, let’s put on the all-star game’ and hopefully get a few more people out and bring some real good, com-petitive baseball to Stonewall.”

There is a whole lot of talent in the MJBL. Hopefully, a large crowd will come out and attend the game.

“We hope people come out and watch and enjoy a really good base-ball game,” Kirk said, noting admis-sion is free for the event. “The all-star game is to show off the talent we have

in the MJBL and I think there’s lots of it. If fans come out, they’ll be treated to a very good baseball game.”

Each team in the league will be rep-resented by fi ve players. The Blue Jays’ contingent of all stars includes Emer-son Klimpke, Baily Proctor, Brennan Cheasley, Derek Petrasko, and Ben Anderson. All fi ve have been very good players for the Blue Jays.

“They’re all key contributors to our team,” Kirk said. “They’re a big cor-nerstone of our lineup and they have put in their hard work over the years. Four of the fi ve guys are third-year (players) in their last year of junior baseball so this is a nice sendoff for them.”

The ceremonial fi rst pitch will be thrown by Lundar’s Blaine Fortin to Kirk, a Stonewall product.

It will be a nice way to honour two very good baseball-minded individu-als in the community. Both have put in many, many hours of volunteer time in minor baseball in the Interlake.

“Both Blaine and I played in the MJBL and Blaine is an Interlake guy so we thought it would be nice to have a bigger baseball name come out and add a little bit to the all-star game,” Kirk explained.

“And, with me being a hometown guy, they wanted me to catch it so we’ll see how it goes.”

Fortin, a former draft pick of the To-ronto Blue Jays, is really looking for-ward to the all-star game. He’s fl at-tered to have been chosen to throw out the fi rst pitch.

“I’m very proud and I take it as an honour,” he said Tuesday morning.

Fortin is really pleased to see the In-terlake have a team in the MJBL. There have been a lot of very good ball play-ers from the area that have played in the league over the years.

“I think it’s huge for the growth of baseball in the Interlake,” he said.“It’s something that the younger kids could look forward to when they’re done with their 18U teams.”

only daughter and sunshine Sonja Himmelstoss through a tragic accident.

She leaves behind her grieving parents Max and Sylvia Himmels-toss, her grandparents and many relatives in Germany and many friends too many to list here in Canada.

Sonja was born February 7, 1990 in Regensburg and passed on June 25, 2019 at Gunton.

She loved her job as Healthcare Aid and was a big help at the Tack-Shop with her knowledge. Horseback riding and her horses were her passion. She also enjoyed off roading with the Red River Jeep Club.

A say good bye from close family members has already taken place and there will be no funeral.

The family would like to give many thanks for the fl owers, cards, condo-lences and food that have been received.

Also, many thanks to the EMS and Teulon- Rockwood Fire Department at the scene. We also appreciate Ken Loehmer Funeral Services for help-ing us so much in this diffi cult time.

OBITUARY

Elmer PagardIt is with great sadness that we announce that Elmer passed

peacefully on June 25, 2019 at the age of 97 with his family at his side. He is survived by his daughters Gail (Karl) Emms and Ferne (Chuck Gordon) and by his grandchildren Kelvin (Carlene Ander-son) Emms, Gillian (Reg) Kmet and Victoria Gordon Pagard. He was predeceased by his wife Rose in December 2015.

Elmer was born in Fannystelle, Manitoba on February 17, 1922. His family moved to Young, Saskatchewan shortly after where he grew up. His father passed at an early age, leaving his mother to raise Elmer and his six siblings single handedly during the Depres-sion. Despite having signifi cant responsibilities, Elmer and his brother Cecil found time to play baseball and hockey, learning to skate on the frozen ponds of Saskatchewan. They played at a very high level and Elmer was eventually invited to play in a semi-pro

league but was unable to accept due to his responsibilities at home.Elmer and Cecil eventually left the farm to work in the bush camps in British Columbia and later

moved to Narcisse, Manitoba, where they started farming on their own. That is where Elmer met a lovely young girl by the name Rose and he was smitten. She became his wife on October 6, 1956 and they enjoyed 59 wonderful years together.

Shortly after getting married, they started their own farming operation and drove the school bus for many years. They retired in the early 1990’s and moved to Teulon where they enjoyed retired life, spending time with their grandchildren, gardening and spending their winters in Apache Junc-tion, Arizona where they met new friends from across the U.S. They loved the desert where they spent hours hiking and exploring the Superstition Mountains which was practically in their back yard. Unfortunately, deteriorating health stopped their winter sojourn although they kept in touch with many of their fellow Snowbirds. When they were no longer able to manage on their own, they moved into Betel in Gimli together and were inseparable. Rather than having separate rooms, one room was set up as their “living room” and the other was their “bedroom” so they were never apart.

Elmer enjoyed hunting and fi shing and even found time to curl. He loved getting together with friends and neighbours to share a few drinks and laughs. He was a gifted story teller and regaled Gail and Ferne as little girls with mesmerizing stories of capturing beautiful wild horses in the mountains in British Columbia. Although his motto was you have to make hay while the sun shines, when the fi rst crop of hay was baled and stacked, the family would go on fi shing trips to Lake St. George or the Narrows, occasionally to the beach and would travel to visit family in Saskatchewan and the United States.

As Dad grew older and was no longer able to fully care for himself, he would spend hours people watching, listening to other’s conversations and quietly taking it all in. He would sing, tease the staff and teach them how and other residents to yodel. They called him a character. He was also very perceptive. One day, one of the nurses was having a particularly diffi cult day. They were short staffed and everything seemed to be going wrong. As she sat at the nurse’s desk, shedding a quiet tear, Elmer was quietly watching her the entire time. When she looked up at him, he blew her a kiss. She said he recognized her despair and was trying to comfort her.

We would like to thank the staff at Gimli Hospital for their compassionate care while Elmer was in the hospital. Finally, to all the staff at Betel who treated Dad with loving respect, compassion and patience, we are forever grateful. He enjoyed teasing you and especially loved it when you teased him back.

In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, July 4 at 2 p.m. at Gimli Lutheran Church.Dad, although it broke our hearts to let you go, we are thankful that your struggle is over. Good-

bye, God bless and give our love to Mom.
