Antique antlers a treasured family heirloomBy DARRYL HOLYK
A century old set of mounted elk antlers
has been passed down through four generations of the Crawley family. Currently in the pos-session of Charlotte (Craw-ley) Ritchie, the antlers are from an elk shot by her great-grandfather, John Crawley in 1912. In addi-tion to having the antlers, the family also has an old photograph showing the group of hunters with the animal taken in the area now known as Riding Mountain National Park, northeast of the current Clear Lake Golf Course. Th e man on the far right in the photograph at right is John Crawley. Th e only other man the family has identifi ed is the one on the far left who they believe was from the Portage la Prairie area and had the surname McVicor. Th e other men in the photo-graph have not been iden-tifi ed, but if anyone knows who they are, Charlotte or her father, Glen Crawley, would like to know. Th e aging set of antlers was in rough shape until a few years ago when Char-lotte had them remounted.
During this procedure, an-other revelation was made. Th e taxidermist found the bullet hole and shell still embedded in the skull. Th e rifl e used to kill the animal, pictured with the group of hunters, is a .405 calibre Winchester. While this rifl e is no longer owned by the Crawley’s, it remains in the area and is currently in the possession of a neighbour.
Th e antlers have never been measured or scaled but have great value to the family. Th e fact that they have the century old ant-lers, a photograph of their
ancestor with the animal on the day of the hunt and know the whereabouts of the rifl e that was used to obtain the antlers adds to the personal value of this
unique family heirloom. Recently, as I was compiling this week’s Ye Old Trib column, I stum-bled across the following snippet from 1912: “John
Crawley brings back the fi nest elk head in these parts in many a year; the horns have eight points instead of the usual sev-en.”
Photos submitted
A photo from the hunt back in the winter of 1912 in which John Crawley and fellow hunters bagged an elk with a unique set of antlers.
John is pictured at the far right with the rifl e that shot the animal and a pipe in his mouth.
Th e 100 year old elk antlers were recently remounted and now belong to John’s
great-granddaughter, Charlotte.

The third annual Minnedosa and Dis-
trict Christmas Dinner was yet again another success. Held at the Minnedosa Community Conference Centre (MCCC) between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. Christmas Day, guests en-joyed a traditional turkey dinner with all the trim-mings. Compared to last year, there were less people who attended this year’s dinner.
“Th ere were a few less people in attendance than in 2011 but once again, for all those who braved the cold, a great traditional hot turkey Christmas dinner was had,” said Chair of the Christmas Dinner com-mittee Ray Baloun. Many takeout meals were served to those who were unable to attend. Andy Gilkinson was the host at the event and he, along with Barry McNabb on the piano led everyone in the singing
of Christmas carols. Th e special visitor of the event was Santa Claus, who was able to meet many people before returning to the North Pole after his busiest morning of the year. Many volunteers are needed for the event and without them, the din-ner wouldn’t be possible. Volunteers were on hand to serve the meal on the day and volunteers, some of which weren’t in atten-dance, are also involved in planning and preparing for
the event. Baloun believes that no one should be alone at Christmas. “It is so good to have a place in town that people can go to on Christmas Day for some great food and fellow-ship. Christmas is a time of year that emotions can bring high or low spirit and with an event like this, new warm memories are made every year.” Th e Christmas Din-ner was launched in 2011 by Garry MacDowall and Anita Holdaway. MacDow-all was unable to be on the committee this year but Anita continues to be the main cook for the event, bringing plenty of energy to the team. Th e event is funded by a bank account in which individuals, or-ganizations, and the sur-rounding Municipalities can contribute to. Th e Town of Minnedosa con-tribute by providing the MCCC at no cost. Organizers look for-ward to continue what is now a community tradi-tion and the community can stay tuned for their opportunity to be involved with the next dinner!

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I’m appealing to all peo-ple who have enjoyed
fi shing or just “hanging out” at (Little) Jackfi sh Lake located about 4.5 miles east of Sandy Lake on Road 114W (Ozerna Road) to attend a public hearing being held by the South Riding Mountain Planning District (SRMPD) January 16th, 2013 at 7:45 p.m. at the Town/Munici-pal Offi ce located at 45 Main Street, Erickson. (See ad elsewhere in this edi-tion).
SRMPD is asking for input from the public about a development pro-posal to put in 13 PLUS cottage lots in the quarter just south of the Jackfi sh boat launch area. Th e land would have to be re-zoned from Rural Agri-cultural Use to Seasonal Recreational Use to ac-commodate the lots. Such rezoning is CONTRARY to the policies set out in both the SRMPD development plan and Provincial Plan-ning Regulation 81/2011. Nevertheless, the R.M. of Harrison has already given
second reading to By-law 6-2012 to rezone this Class 4 agricultural land to rec-reational use. As well, at least one R.M. of Harrison councillor has told me that unless someone comes to the public hearing and makes a good case to do otherwise, he WILL vote for rezoning the land. Many, many people have enjoyed this lake over the years. Th e Erickson Wildlife Association has spent a great deal of time and volunteer labour to make sure the fi sh stocks are viable in the lake for
anglers. I am most con-cerned that the lake will be spoiled for future genera-tions by over-development and overuse/pollution of this natural resource. If you cannot attend the hearing in person, I urge you to write to SRM-PD at Box 189, Erickson, MB R0J 0P0 to express your concerns about what impact a cottage develop-ment would have on this small lake.

Dear Editor,
The killing of innocent children and adults
always make us angry. Rightly so. Who in his or her right mind could do such a horrible deed. Most agree that a person mentally deranged would kill their own parent and other innocent children. Th e state of Connecti-cut has the country’s fi fth toughest gunlaws, includ-ing an assault weapons ban. Whenever a mass murder takes place any-where in the world, the fi rst thing we hear from the media is that we need to outlaw more fi rearms. Our laws in Canada diff er than those in the USA. In Canada we have no prop-erty rights so the govern-ment of the day can by law confi scate anything that we own. Fortunately 99.9
percent of the gun owners in Canada are law abiding citizens. We are not crimi-nals, not insane, and don’t go around shooting inno-cent bystanders. We don’t need to apologize to any-one because we own a fi re-arm. But the media tends to lump all lawful and peaceful fi rearm owners into the same pot. Some-how owning a gun makes one a potential criminal in this country. We need to register the criminals and the insane, and not lawful fi rearm owners. Some people enjoy fi shing, others enjoy rec-reational shooting. Tak-ing the guns away from the law abiding citizens is like trying to stop high-way deaths through con-fi scating all vehicles that produce more than 100 horsepower. How many of us would tolerate such
a law. Th e real solution is through better mental health, compulsory fi re-arm safety training and education, and not fi nger
pointing and blaming the lawful fi rearm owners.
Inky Mark, former MPDauphin, MB
Dear Friends at Th e Tribune,
I would appreciate it very much if you were able to fi nd room in one of your papers in the next few weeks to
publish this poem. I truly appreciate the long, hard hours the workers at Manitoba Hydro put in to do their best to keep this service up and running for us all. Th ank you with much appreciation from a hydro customer,
Bernice Finlay,Rapid City, MB
Th e Man on the Pole
Th e black blowing night and the driving snowmakes it feel much colder than ten below.
Th e wind rasps the snow like sharp cutting sand,strokes bare frozen trees with harsh icy hand.
Stiff branches creak with the weight of the windwhich has sung its chill dirge for hours on end.
No pin-point of light pricks the gloom of the street;the dark is forever, frozen, complete.
By the curb stands a truck, its tail to the storm;around it grey drifts have started to form.Dimly discerned are the lines of its back,the tools on its side, the high ladder rack.
Like a pack-horse it stands, hock deep in the snow,as patiently waiting, with head hanging low;
Alone in the wind and the swirling dark,dim fl ashers repeating their faint red spark.
Above, on a pole, in the wintry night skya snow-blurred fi gure works on high,
Clings to his perch with sharp pointed steel,arches his back to the safety trap feel.
Desperately he twists the stiff , stubborn wires,his mind running home to warm glowing fi res.
He pulls with numbed hands, his face a chill mask,with fast-ebbing strength, completes his lone task.
Now LIGHT sprays from windows all down the street,a radio blares loudly, then becomes more discreet.
Somewhere a dog barks his plea at the door;light and LIFE have come back to the street once more.
Th e man on the pole draws a long, tired sigh,then picks his way slowly down out of the sky.Th e cold hours of labour have taken their toll;he leans for a moment against the hard pole.
To the truck he ploddingly makes his way,stows his tool in the back and drives away.
Not a soul in those houses, now bright and warm;knows that he’s been there, out of the storm,
Silently working to bring them light,as silently fading into the night.
When work-a-day heroes are inscribed on the roll,we too often forget Th e Man on the Pole.
Annonymous
Dear Mr. Ken Kingdon,
I don’t always read your column in Th e Minnedosa Tri-bune. (I don’t read much of Th e Trib at anytime), but the
poem caught my eye. (Stopping By a Den on a Snowy Eve-ning – December 14th edition). I read it fi rst and enjoyed it immensely. Th en I read the article, and enjoyed it too. A second and third reading of the poem made me smile and really connect with your experience. Robert Frost is my favourite poet. I think he would be pleased with your version.
Roxanna Robinson,Erickson, MB
P.S . I shall read your column from now on just in case the poetry muse strikes again!
Little Jackfi sh Lake could be
spoiled by development
Lawful fi rearm owners always the blame

Pee Wee 12’s
By CRISSY KOWAL
The Pee Wee 12’s con-tinued their busy
schedule as they played four more games in nine days. Winnipegosis visited our local barn on Friday, December 21st which saw Th e Bombers skate away with a decisive 11 -2 win. Braeden Good 4G; Zane MacDonald 2G; 1 goal each by Nathan Dornn, Ri-ley Barrett, Jayden Kreller, Max Dowsett and Colin Robinson; Zane MacDon-ald 5A; Max Dowsett 2A; Nolan Bailey 2A; single as-sists by Jayden Kreller, Ri-ley Dixon,Braeden Good, Matthew Kowal, Nathan Dornn and Riley Barrett.
Jayden Morrice in net. Th e 12’s found them-selves waking up bright and early Sunday, De-cember 23rd as they made their way north to take on Dauphin. Th e early morning and long drive was not kind to the team as they were defeated 9-2. Braeden Good and Zane MacDonald each with one goal. Jayden Morrice be-tween the pipes. Back at home on Friday, December 28th, Minnedosa met up with Tri-Town. Th e visitors opened up the scoring but it would be all Minnedosa after that as they started putting up the points and were rewarded with a 5-2 win. Braeden Good with the hat trick; Riley Barrett 1G; Zane MacDonald 1G;
Zane MacDonald 2A with singles by Nolan Bailey, Riley Dixon, Elmer Yew-Gaywish and Braeden Good. Joe Lane tending the net. S a t u r -day, December 29th, Th e Bombers hosted Dauphin and gave the home crowd a much more exciting and close game than the last time these two teams met. Minnedosa held a one goal lead all the way through to the mid-point of the third period but with less than fi ve minutes to go the visitors tied things up and then took a one goal lead shortly after. Th ey were able to hold on to the lead and skated away with a 5 - 3 victory. Tough one Team! Goals scored by Ri-ley Dixon, Braeden Good and Zane MacDonald.
Matthew Kowal 2A; Zane MacDonald 1A; Goaltend-ing by Jayden Morrice. Th e team is hosting the annual Tournament of Champions this week-end with their fi rst game taking place last night vs. Souris. Th e tournament’s Opening Ceremonies and skills competition will take place tonight fol-lowed by our 12’s taking on McCreary. Good Luck Bombers - keep up the great hockey!
Atoms
By JENN MERRITT
Th is will be a recap of the Atoms season, thus far. Th e Bombers have been very busy, during their fi rst few months of
hockey. So far this season, the atoms have faced off for nine league games and competed in three tourna-ments. On November 30th, the Bombers headed east to compete in Stone-wall’s weekend tourna-ment. Th e atoms played fi erce throughout the tournament, winning three of their four games. By the end of the week-end, Minnedosa proudly walked away with the Silver medal, after a 4-3 loss against Teulon. Cole Cibula played outstanding in net and helped lead the team to the fi nals. “Good job, to the entire team for their hard work!” On December 8th and 9th, the Bombers hosted their annual tournament.
Six teams faced off and while Minnedosa pulled out two wins, they lost the third which advanced them into the Bronze fi -nal. Th e team fought hard but despite their eff orts, walked away with fourth place. Once again, Cole Cibula dominated in net, holding the score against some tough teams. Catch the January 11th issue of Th e Tribune, to see how the Bombers held up against; Neepawa 2, Winnipegosis and Dau-phin 2 teams, during the Christmas break. Next up, the At-oms team will face off in Neepawa from January 3rd to 6th for the Rural A Tournament of Champi-ons. Wish them luck!

SUBMITTED
Recently, Cde Margaret Gregorash was recog-
nized with a Certifi cate of Merit Award from the Er-ickson Legion Branch #143 for her many years of dedi-cated service to the Legion and the community. Margaret joined the Erickson Legion Branch #143 on January 3rd, 2001. She joined the branch as a fraternal member in 1990 and has worked at the weekly bingos ever since. She has served on the entertainment com-
mittee and volunteered with organizing the Year of the Veteran Banquet and festivities in 2004. She has also served on the Athletic Sports Committee and was Dorm Dean at the inter-national Peace Gardens in 2000. She organized the Cribbage for the Erickson Branch for nine years and has volunteered with serv-ing at the Appreciation Banquet honouring the Ladies Auxiliary, and the Meat Draws. Outside of her Legion activities, Margaret is also a generous community
volunteer always willing to lend a helping hand where needed. She has volunteered on the Erick-son Skating Rink Commit-tee serving food at hockey games and pancake days. Margaret has volunteered at the Parkland Home with the seniors when they needed help or transporta-tion to appointments. She has served as a representa-tive on the Palliative Care Committee and has volun-
teered with Christmas bin-gos and serving a Christ-mas Dinner to the seniors at the Parkland Home.

Th e project, which to-tals $45,000, will start in the fall of 2013 after the summer camping season in order to not disrupt this year’s campers. To carry out the upgrades, the Town will be using local contractors. Soltys noted that the town will see an increase in summer traffi c. “Th e campground brings a lot of visitors to Erickson and that is very important to our community,” she said. “Th e ten new serviced sites will bring more people to the campground due the availability of services to larger RV’s and campers.” Erickson’s camp-ground started in 1999 and
has developed into a very popular area for campers due to the hard work of past and current commit-tee members and volun-teers. Th e Community In-frastructure Improvement Fund supports, on a cost-shared basis, repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure that is accessible to the public.

Elgin Hall was a recent recipient of the Queen
Elizabeth II Diamond Jubi-lee Medal. Jeff MacDonald nomi-nated Elgin for this award under the categories of Re-ligious Service and Com-munity Service. Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette M.P. Robert Sopuck presented Hall with the medal. “I was left speechless when I found out I was nominated as it is an hon-our to be one of 60,000 peo-ple in Canada to receive the award,” Hall said during his acceptance speech. Hall has been dedi-cated and interested in ag-ricultural programs and is a founding member of the
Minnedosa Grain Grow-ing Project, in support of the Canadian Food Grains Bank. He also served on the Provincially-appointed Agricultural Committee to study Cow/Calf opera-tions in Manitoba. Elgin has served the area as an ordained Minister for over 50 years and was a found-ing member and manager of the United Church Youth Camp for 24 years. He con-tinues to be involved in the community and sits as a member of the Onanole Recreation Centre Board. Hall had the infl uence of his father to be involved in the community. “As a young boy, my father was very often gone in the eve-nings doing some sort of community service,” Elgin
said. “Th is was the starting point for me to realize that somebody that does not stand very tall but casts a wide shadow, like my dad and myself, can make a dif-ference in the community by stepping up in a quiet way.”

Three Erickson com-m u n i t y m e m b e r s
were awarded with the honour of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Ju-bilee Medal at the Town’s Chamber of Commerce Christmas dinner. The Town of Erickson nomi-nated Dr. Ajai Khandelw-al, Vaughan Ullberg, and John Braschuk Jr. for the Diamond Jubilee medal for their years of service to Erickson and the sur-
rounding area. Erickson Mayor, Val Soltys, who, along with Deputy Mayor, Tami Johnson, made the medal presentations to the re-cipients. Dr. Khandelwal, who resides in Minnedosa, said “It feels great. I felt very moved when I found out about this and I am very appreciative to be a recipient of the medal.” Dr. Khandelwal has been serving the Erick-son community through
his medical work since March 1974 after he was hired by the Erickson Medical Nursing Unit. Dr. Khandelwal has held summer offices in Sandy Lake and Riding Moun-tain National Park and continues to practise in Minnedosa. Ullberg and Braschuk are both members of the Erickson Volunteer Fire Department. “It was not possible to recognize ev-ery member but both the Fire Chief and Deputy Fire
Chief have set an example to others through their long term commitment,” Soltys said. Between Ull-berg and Braschuk, they have provided 63 years of
service to the community through the volunteer fire department. Vaughan joined the department in 1983 and has been the Fire Chief
since 1990. John became involved with the depart-ment in 1978 and became the Deputy Fire Chief in 1993.

On the 15th of December, Frank Kucher and son Rick Kucher, motored to Hudson Bay, SK, to visit
Frank’s brother, Stan Kucher in the hospital there, in the last stages of his battle with cancer. Later on the 22nd of December, Stan passed away in the hospital, with his son Joe, by his side. Th ere will be a memorial held in Onanole in the early Spring or Summer. Stan was born on the family farm East of Onanole, and later he and his wife lived there for many years before selling the farm and moving to Edmonton, AB. Clara, Stan’s wife passed away there a few years ago. Stan was living with his son Joe at Hudson Bay when he was taken ill. Sandra Gunn and Randy Carson, and Shannon Gunn and children, Jeremy and Phoenix Gunn, of Neepawa, MB, spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the home of Frank and Leona Kucher. Rick and Sha-ron Kucher and girls, Amanda, Melissa and Sherry, of Brandon, MB arrived early Christmas morning to spend the rest of the day with the family. Th e Annual Community Christmas Eve service was held at the Onanole Rec. Centre at 6:30 p.m. About 60 or more attended the service. Later at 9:00 p.m., there was a Christmas Eve service at the Erickson Lutheran/Onanole United Church. I would like to wish all our readers a Happy New Year and all the best for 2013.
It was a great fall session for the PC Party of Mani-
toba. In the very short ses-sion of the Legislative As-
sembly that wrapped on December 6th. We pressed the government on many key issues. We pressed them on their Th rone Speech and the lack of any real sub-stance contained in it. We demanded the NDP come clean with Manitobans about the deepening fi -nancial hole it’s been dig-ging the province into. A bill was passed dur-ing this session that will protect the employment of parents who take a leave of absence when their child is critically ill, disappears or has passed on. For three weeks, in the people’s house, we asked this NDP government
for its projections for the budget and any potential tax implications for Mani-tobans. Th ey refused to answer those calls. Th en, less than a week after the close of session, Premier Selinger stated that the current government will not be able to balance the books until 2016-2017, in-stead of in 2014 that was promised in the 2011 elec-
tion. We also requested more information about the inner workings of Child and Family Services in re-lation to the Phoenix Sin-clair Inquiry and shone a light on the incompetence of the minister in that de-partment. We debated issues of poverty and the dramatic increase in use of food banks by children. We drew attention to the rush to super-size Manitoba Hydro and the poor state of the prov-inces infrastructure. We will continue to push this government to be more ac-countable to Manitobans. Since session wrapped I have enjoyed visiting with constituents at our open house in December and delivering Christmas ornaments within the con-stituency. I am looking forward to working with constituents and councils in the New Year.

We all know Snowbirds who head south
to warm locations for the winter. Not many choose Minnedosa as that warm location, but the volunteers of the 32nd Annual Minnedosa Christmas Bird Count found one. Northern Hawk Owls live most of their lives in the Northern Coniferous forests, moving further afi eld when prey populations are low at home. At 113 years the longest running Citizen Science survey in the world, the annual Christmas Bird Count is now completed. From Alaska to Antarctica, tens of thousands of volunteers have added another year of valuable data vital to conservation of birds and their habitat. Armed with binoculars and note books, local volunteers covered a 24 kilometer diameter circle surrounding Minnedosa and identifi ed and counted all the birds they could identify on December 29. Scientists rely on these data to better understand how birds and the environment we share are faring. Just like canaries in the coal
mine, birds serve as early indicators of problems that can eventually aff ect people and wildlife. Data from the Christmas count are at the heart of several scientifi c reports, including Audubon’s recent report that climate change is already having an impact on birds across the continent. Highlights of this year’s Minnedosa count were the Northern Hawk Owl patrolling the south side of town, numerous Red and White–winged Crossbills feeding on spruce cones and sunfl owers and a Mourning Dove frequenting a feeder near Bethany. Although the area of open water has been restricted by the recent deep cold, our long- term resident Canada Goose with its mallard duck buddies are toughing out the winter below the dam. Th e CBC began a century ago when 27 conservationists in 25 localities, led by scientist and writer Frank Chapman, changed the course of ornithological history. On Christmas Day in 1900, the small group posed an alternative to the “side hunt,” a Christmas day activity in which teams
competed to see who could shoot the most birds and small mammals. Instead, Chapman proposed that they identify, count, and record all the birds they saw, founding what is now considered to be the world’s most signifi cant citizen-based conservation eff ort .
“When Frank Chapman started the Christmas Bird Count, it was a visionary act,” said Bird Studies Canada president George Finney. “No one could have predicted how important the Count would become as a resource and a tool for conservation.” Th e data also helps document success stories such as the comeback of the previously endangered Bald Eagle, and signifi cant increases in waterfowl populations, both the result of conservation eff orts. CBC compilers enter their count data via Audubon’s website where the 113th Count results are viewable in near real-time. Explore this information for the current winter or visit a count from the past to see how the birds are faring in your area and all over the Americas.

Helen Lewandoski and Myrcel and Shirley
Sheeshka were recent re-cipients of the Queen Eliz-abeth II Diamond Jubilee medal. A medal presenta-tion ceremony was held
at the Sandy Lake Drop-in Centre with roughly 50 people in attendance on the morning of Th ursday, December 20th. Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette MP Robert Sopuck made the medal presentations. Lewandoski was nom-
inated by her friend Iris Popplestone and is being recognized in the areas of voluntary service, commu-nity service, heritage and history, and arts and cul-ture. Helen is a strong ad-vocate for Breast Can-
cer Awareness and is in-volved in Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Dragon Boat Race. She is a founding member of the Sandy Lake Ukrainian Her-itage Museum and serves on numerous community groups, one if which is the Communities in Bloom committee. “My journey with can-cer has taught me how to enjoy life and it has taught me to give,” Lewandoski said after receiving her medal. “I do the work I do because I enjoy it and also for the great people that I get the chance to work with.” Myrcel and Shirley Sheeshka were joint recipi-ents of the Diamond Jubi-lee medal. Th e Sheeshka’s were nominated by Joanne Peech. Shirley worked at the Sandy Lake Elemen-tary School for 38 years and presently works as an educational assistant at Erickson Elementary School. Myrcel worked at the Shoal Lake Southpark
Service Centre from 2002-2010 after retiring from farming and was a school trustee for the former Pelly Trail School Division from 1978-1986. Ukrainian Heritage is important to the Sheesh-ka’s and Shirley was instru-mental in organizing the Oakburn Teren Dancers in 1980 and was a voluntary choreographer for many years. Th e Sheeshka’s are also actively involved in
the Oakburn Ukrainian Catholic Church. “Myrcel and I feel very, very humbled and overwhelmed that we were nominated and chosen for the Diamond Jubilee Med-al. It is a very highly trea-sured award,” Shirley said. Over 60,000 Canadi-ans are being honoured for their contributions and achievements by receiving the Diamond Jubilee med-al.
