Over $45,000 Raised At Recent Golf Tournament

By Hillary Miller
T he Adult and Teen
Challenge Golf Tour-
nament was held at the
Minnedosa Golf and
Country Club last week-
end. Due to the support of
participating golfers and
sponsors, the event was a
great success.
Over the course of the
tournament, Adult and
Teen Challenge was able
to raise $45,000 through
their entry fees, as well as
various fundraising in-
centives. Entry into the
tournament was $250, but
for every $2,500 raised, a
person would receive one
draw ticket for a chance
to win a 1974 Chevrolet
350 Truck. For every $100
raised above the entry fee,
a person would receive one
draw ticket for a chance to
win an Apple Watch. Ev-
eryone who entered re-
ceived a prize of some sort,
and those who raised more
money received a prize of
a higher value, increasing
the incentive to raise funds
for the group.
Most of the people
who attended the event
travelled from outside of
Minnedosa, from all over
Manitoba and Saskatche-
wan in order to participate
in the event. There were
32 golfers in total, and

day. The golfers played in
teams of four and played a
Texas Scramble over the 18
holes. Golfers came to the
event with varying levels of
experience, but the main
purpose of the day was to
have fun and enjoy a game
of golf.
In the evening, the
Minnedosa Golf and
Country Club put together
a fabulous steak dinner
for the group, with some
“awesome salads and des-
sert”, said Murray. Some
of the golfers even brought
along family members for
the banquet, which also
helped with the fundrais-
ing efforts. At the banquet,
there were multiple staff
members who emceed
different parts of the eve-
ning program, and two of
the students of the pro-
gram shared their stories
about how their life has
changed drastically in re-
cent months, after hav-

Murray has received
feedback from some of the
golfers that the Minnedosa
Golf Course was beautiful,
and the event ran smooth-
ly. He also noted the sup-
port he received from at-
tendees that told him that
they “need to continue our
work at Adult and Teen
Challenge”.

Happy Birthday Canada...
As the month of June wraps up, people across the na-
tion are gearing up to celebrate Canada’s 151st birthday
on Sunday, July 1st. Here in Minnedosa, a full slate of ac-
tivities has been planned beginning at 10 a.m. and con-
tinuing throughout the day with the much-anticipated
fireworks display over Minnedosa Lake at dusk. Find a
full schedule of events elsewhere in today’s edition. With
Canada Day falling on a Sunday this year, the national
holiday will also be observed on Monday, July 2nd. This
means that a number of businesses, including The Tri-
bune office, will be closed Monday for Canada’s birthday
long weekend.
School’s out...
Yesterday, Thursday, June 28th, students in the Roll-
ing River School Division completed their final day of the
2017-2018 school season. Hopefully all staff and students
had another enjoyable year and that each and every stu-
dent closes out the year with more valuable knowledge
than when they started the school year back in Septem-
ber. Again, hats off to our Rolling River School Division
graduates on successfully completing the K-12 educa-
tion program. See today’s special commemorative grad
section for Minnedosa and Erickson graduates. After a
two-month summer vacation, students continuing their
education in RRSD will head back to the classroom on
Thursday, September 4th.
Johnson Crook at dauphin...
While classic rock music fans look forward to
the August long weekend at Minnedosa, country mu-
sic fans look forward to the Canada Day long weekend
at Dauphin. A number of locals will again be taking in
Dauphin’s Countryfest this weekend. In addition to tak-
ing in the shows by some of the biggest names in country
music today, locals can also support some homegrown
talent. Johnson Crook, which includes Minnedosa broth-
ers Trevor and Nathan Crook will be playing the Credit
Union Corral Stage at Countryfest Sunday night.

Beer Drinkers Cast Doubt On Carbon Tax
By TODD MACKAY  tax experiment and the results are readily available.
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
M anitobans heading to the lake need two things:
a full tank of gas and a cold case of beer.
Carbon-tax advocates want to change the gas-
tank-filling part of that summer tradition. They say
increasing the cost of fuel with a carbon tax will re-
duce consumption and lower emissions. But that
cold case of beer in the trunk tells a different story.
When Manitobans buy beer, about 47 percent
of the bill is tax. In fact, provincial beer taxes have
soared by 32 percent since 2010. If a higher tax rate
automatically leads to lower consumption, enjoying
a brew by the lake should be a rare luxury.
Manitobans bought 80 million litres of beer in
2010, according to Statistics Canada. In 2016, they
bought 76 million litres of beer. So, while beer taxes
soared, beer drinking barely dipped downward.
Even that blip probably isn’t due to taxes. While
Manitobans dialed back their beer drinking by a few
percentage points, they made up with it with more
wines, spirits, ciders and other alcoholic beverages.
Total alcohol consumption in 2010 was 100 million
litres and in 2016 it was 101 million litres. And taxes
on many of those non-beer drinks are even higher
than they are on beer.
Let’s be honest, a beer is a discretionary nicety
that Manitobans could, begrudgingly, live without,
but what impact would a carbon tax have on families
filling up their fuel tanks?
Manitobans already pay about 30 cents per li-
tre  in taxes on gasoline. Premier Brian Pallister is
planning to impose a carbon tax that will increase
the price at the pump by about 5.3 cents per litre. The
provincial government refuses to release any projec-
tions showing whether a carbon tax would actually
make people use less fuel.
However, British Columbia has tried the carbon

BC imposed a carbon tax in 2008. It now costs
drivers about 7.8 cents per litre. So, what’s happen-
ing to consumption on the West Coast? Drivers used
5.3 percent more fuel in 2015 than they did in 2011.
BC emissions also went up.
“[BC] emissions were higher in 2015 than in 2010
and have risen in four of the last five years,” stated the
Sierra Club in a release in early 2018.
It seems a carbon tax won’t stop people from
driving to the beach or taking their kids to hockey
practice. But fueling up is about more than discre-
tionary diversions, it’s an absolute necessity. People
need to drive to get to work. They need to drive to get
groceries.
The Sierra Club’s solution is to make carbon tax-
es much higher. Internal federal documents brought
to light by access-to-information requests show that
carbon taxes would have to soar to about 60 cents
per litre to meet emissions targets. But, even at cur-
rent levels, carbon taxes place a heavy burden on tax-
payers.
When BC first started collecting a carbon tax,
the government promised to reduce other taxes by
the same amount. Instead, the Fraser Institute con-
cluded the carbon tax cost taxpayers $865 million.
Now the BC government is increasing the carbon tax
without making corresponding cuts to other taxes.
The Manitoba government says its carbon tax
won’t increase the overall tax burden. But this year’s
budget projected an overall tax hike of $118 million
due to the carbon tax. And the government has no
detailed plan  to keep taxes from weighing down
Manitobans in the future.
Carbon taxes won’t stop Manitobans from driv-
ing to the lake any more than liquor taxes stop Mani-
tobans from tipping back a cold one by the campfire,
but both cost taxpayers millions.

headlines, the Liberal gov-
ernment has continued to
introduce pieces of legis-
lation that do nothing, but
make life more difficult for
Canadians and our natural
resource industries.
One issue that I have
been fighting tooth and
nail against is the Liberal’s
changes to firearms leg-
islation. Bill C-71 targets
law-abiding firearms own-
ers, while failing to combat
gangs, gun violence and
escalating crime rates. In-
stead, this Liberal govern-
ment is once again putting
the onus on law-abiding
firearms owners instead
of going after criminals
who use illegal firearms.
If enacted, this legisla-
tion would make business
owners the keepers of a
backdoor firearms regis-
try by having them report
every sale to the Registrar
under the RCMP’s Cana-
dian Firearms Program.
We all know that Registrars
keep registries.
During my time serv-
ing as a Member of Parlia-
ment with former Prime
Minister Stephen Harper,
one of the issues that I
worked very hard on was
to develop changes to the
Fisheries Act in 2012. Our
changes improved fish-
eries conservation, pri-
oritized fish productivity,
protected significant fish-
eries and streamlined an
overly bureaucratic pro-
cess. We ensured that the

Minnedosa Teams Participate In Westman Soccer Festival
By HiLLARy MiLLeR
T he Westman Regional
Soccer Association
(WRSA) hosted a soc-
cer festival last weekend
with games being played
around Westman, includ-
ing some here in Minnedo-

games, others were held
in Rivers, Brandon and
Neepawa. The weekend
included teams of all age
groups, ranging from the
Under Sevens to Under
Eighteens.
According to Jesse Ro-

the WRSA is a fairly new
association in the West-

During the last week-
end of the season, a year-
end festival is held to cel-
ebrate the soccer season.
The festival includes all of
the teams who participat-
ed in the league.
Minnedosa hosted the
Under Ten boys’ teams at
the Minnedosa Beach field
and the Under Fourteen
girls’ teams at the MREC
field. The games were ar-
ranged so that the different
age groups were assigned
to a single community,
to avoid driving between
communities between
games.
The festival included
51 teams, who played a
total of 61 games over the
weekend. The Under Ten
Boys’ group consisted of
ten teams, who played
eleven games. This en-

sured that each team could
play two games, and one
team was able to play three
games, to accommodate
the eleventh team. The
Under Fourteen girls’ team
played on Sunday and
consisted of a four-team
league.
In the Under Fourteen
Girls’ team, Rivers beat
Minnedosa for the title
spot, but Minnedosa’s Un-
der Fourteen Boys’ team
was victorious in Rivers
against a Brandon Youth
Soccer team. As the week-
end was primarily meant
for fun, some of the young-
er teams did not compete
in a competition, but rath-
er enjoyed the games as
single victories. Everyone
had a great time over the
weekend, and congratu-
lations to the victorious
Minnedosa players!

OBITUARIES
` IVY ANNIE MACDONALD EVANS
November 18th, 1923 – June 5th, 2018
Ivy Annie MacDonald Evans (nee Pettigrew) was born in
the R.M. of Odanah. Ivy is survived by her son Finlay (Dianne)
MacDonald, daughter-in-law Beth MacDonald, step-daughter
Joan Hardwick, brother-in-law Albert Braaton, sister Edna, step
daughter-in-law Eva, six grandchildren and 23 great-grandchil-
dren. She was predeceased by her parents Wilbert and Isabell, her
son Wilbert, her sisters Eve, Florence, Barb, Grace and Nora, one
brother William and her step-children Norman and Tena. She was
also a loving grandmother to her numerous step-grandchildren
and their families and a caring aunt to many nieces and nephews.
Ivy, along with her sister Eva experienced a difficult child-
hood. To Ivy’s credit she rose above the obstacles presented to her at a
young age to become an accomplished and talented woman, a supportive
spouse, a diligent mother and a loving grandmother and great-grandmother. Ivy never admitted
defeat, offered forgiveness to those who wronged her and did not allow her past to cast a shadow
over her future.
Ivy left her unfortunate childhood circumstances behind when she married Angus Mac-
Donald in 1940. Ivy described her life on the farm with Angus and their two boys, Finlay and
Wilbert as the happiest of her life. She once said “We didn’t have two nickels to rub together, but
we were happy.” Wilbert and Finlay, no doubt, caused Ivy a great deal of trouble, but she enjoyed
it.
After Angus’ death in 1975, Ivy kept herself busy with working in the Minnedosa Personal
Care Home, gardening, quilting, sewing and crocheting. She was a welcoming grandma to her
rambunctious grandchildren and her house in town was always a fun place to visit. Around 1981,
Ivy caught the eye of the handsome Bill Evans. Or maybe he caught her eye. Either way, they fell
in love and got married. Bill and Ivy enjoyed a fun sweet and loving marriage; one cut too short
by Bill’s death in 1992. At least they enjoyed laughing through ten years of life together. After Bill’s
death, Ivy remained active with social outings with friends, bingo nights, bible study, church and
tending to her home and garden.
As long as she was able, Ivy used her talents to provide her grandchildren and later, her
many great-grandchildren, with scores of homemade quilts, Halloween costumes, teddy bears
and other cherished keepsakes.
In the last years of her life, Ivy’s world became smaller, but her hugs never lost their vigor and
she made sure that her family knew how much she loved and appreciated them.
The family would like to give a special thanks to all the staff at the Minnedosa Personal Care
Home for the loving care they provided to Ivy. Also loving acknowledgement to Ivy’s special
friend, Amy.
On June 5th, 2018 Ivy passed on home to glory, just as it says of King David “at a good age, full
of days”, and much loved.
The funeral service was held on Saturday, June 16th at Minnedosa Covenant Church with
Pastor Jeff Loewen officiating. Minnedosa Funeral Service was in charge on arrangements. Do-
nations may be made to Minnedosa Personal Care Home.
STELLA WACHNIAK
March 6th, 1921 – June 8th, 2018
Stella Wachniak (Maluk) passed away at the Erickson Per-
sonal Care Home at the age of 97 years.
Stella was the second child born to Rosie and Tom Maluk
of Sandy Lake. She completed public school in Sandy Lake and
was then enrolled in the P. Mohyla Institute in Saskatoon and Nu-
tana High School. She received her Bachelor of Science Home
Economics degree from the University of Winnipeg in 1944 and
received further training in Ottawa. In 1947 she married Dan Wa-
chniak from Gronlid Sask., who was enrolled in Engineering in
Winnipeg, In 1950 they moved to Toronto where Stella was employed
at Sunnybrook Medical Centre for 28 years, retiring in 1980.
In 2010 at ages 88 and 89 respectively Danny and Stella
decided to move back to their roots – unable to choose Saskatchewan or Mani-
toba. They investigated the cost of funeral plots, Sandy Lakes’ were $100.00 – a fraction of the cost
they left Burlington and the two of them arrived several days later in Sandy Lake on June 4th,
2010, driving all the way themselves. Unfortunately, they only had two years in their home before
Dan had a stroke.
Stella lived in her home in Sandy Lake for five years after Danny died thanks to Home Care
and family assistance. She became a resident of Erickson Personal Care Home in March of 2016.
Stella was predeceased by her husband Dan, her parents Tom and Rosie Maluk, brothers Eugene
and Don, sisters Ann and Lisha. Stella is survived by Eugene’s wife Helen, their children; Wes
(Terry) Maluk of South Carolina, Deb Maluk of Sandy Lake, Roseanne Maluk of Sandy Lake, Tim
(Dorothy) Maluk of Sandy Lake and their children Stan (Marcie) of West Kelowna, B.C., Tom of
Winnipeg and Lou of Sandy Lake. She is also survived by Dan’s family in Saskatchewan, Georgia
and Winnipeg.
As per Stella’s wishes, no formal funeral was held, but a family service was held at the Sandy
Lake Municipal Cemetery to inter Stella and Danny’s ashes. If friends so desire donations may
be made to the Erickson Personal Care Home. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.
raesfs.ca Rae’s Funeral Service of Shoal Lake and Erickson were in care of arrangments.

Message to the Class of 2018

Dear Grads,
You have reached an important milestone in your life journey; you have successfully completed your elementary and high school education and are
now ready to face new challenges.
High school graduation is a time most graduates feel as though they are riding a wild rollercoaster of emotions. There is great excitement and
celebration, as well as some sadness and possibly even some fear as you ponder what the future may hold. As you graduate, you close the book on a regular routine you
have known for the majority of your lives. Although this door is closing, a new door is opening wide. As you pass through this doorway you will find an
endless supply of opportunities and challenges. This is a time of important choices and new beginnings which will help shape the rest of your life.
While some of you may know exactly what you want out of life others may still be unsure, and that’s okay. Whatever life path you choose to follow,
make sure you do it for the right reasons; do it because you want to, do it because it brings you happiness, fulfillment and personal satisfaction. As you
seek your future career choices, keep in mind you must do what you personally feel is best for you. While financial stability is extremely important, it is not
everything. Never make a career decision based solely on its financial rewards. One can have all the riches in the world but without personal satisfaction and
happiness that person will not experience the best life has to offer.
My wish to you all is that you find your own personal balance between home and career and that overall, you make the best of what you have and
enjoy every moment of the rest of your life. As you move forward in life face each challenge head on with no fear. No dream or goal is out of reach. It isn’t
going to come easy – it will take a lot of hard work, but let me assure you, in the end it is definitely worth it. Each and every one of you has the ability to use
your knowledge and personal skills to their full potential. There is always something new to learn so never close your mind to new learning opportunities
which will arise throughout your life.
You are the leaders of tomorrow, the next generation of young adults setting out to shape this crazy world we live in. Every choice and decision you
make leads you to the next step on the road of life. Always strive to make good decisions and responsible choices and don’t be too hard on yourself if you
stumble now and then. One of the most important messages I can pass on to you is to remember that nobody is perfect. We are all human and we are all
capable of making mistakes or losing our way from time to time. If you do, it’s perfectly okay. You can always find a way to make new choices and move
beyond the turmoil so that you can find yourself in a better place. Some time ago, I heard a great quote from a young man diagnosed with terminal cancer.
No matter what life threw his way, he constantly reminded himself that it could be worse. That is so true. Remember, no matter how bad things may get it
could always be worse.
In closing I want to encourage each and every one of our graduates to enjoy this time with your family, friends, and classmates. You have been
through a lot together throughout your school years. There have been good times and bad times and those ups and downs will continue throughout your
life – that’s just the way life goes. None of us know our destiny or what our future holds. The important thing is to live each day like it’s your last, live your life
to the fullest and have no regrets when looking back. Although it can be hard to understand, everything happens for a reason. Surround yourself with good
people and stay in touch with family and friends no matter where this world may take you.
Be proud of who you are and how far you have come so far. The ride is not over and there is a lot more out there. Jump in and accelerate yourself into
the future. Go out there and make things happen! Congratulations on your graduation and good luck with all your future endeavors!
