Freeman, who lives in St. Andrews, said she has been passionate about sculpting since she was a kid, and has been doing it for over 30 years. She has sculpted in many mediums and styles, but in the last few years has realized that she is passionate about sculpting “whimsical stone animals, full of movement and expression.” In her upcoming art show entitled Animal Friends, Freeman will be displaying a wide variety of stone sculptured animals. The show will run at the gallery throughout the month of February. She may do her art because it is a passion, but lately people have been taking notice of the good work she has done. At the 2014 Interlake Juried Art Show one of her pieces won second place, and one of her pieces won first place at the show in 2013. She said her art skills are based around three-dimensional work. “It’s always been three-dimensional, and if I try to draw in two-dimensional it looks like a grade three student did it,” joked Freeman. during the show. A reception for the Animal Friends art show will take place on Sunday Feb. 1 from 2-5 p.m. at the gallery. Freeman hopes people continue to support the Gwen Fox Gallery, because simply walking in the doors of the gallery helps out. The gallery receives funding based on the number of visitors who sign their visitor book. The Gwen Fox Gallery is located at 101-250 Manitoba Ave. in Selkirk.

And the show will go a long way towards helping the Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen. Big Dave McLean played at the Merchants Hotel in Selkirk for Chad Gaborieau’s 45th birthday. The blues artist, along with local artist Aaron Starr and band Bad House Highway performed at the Selkirk bar for Gaborieau, who is also known to many as Big Chad. Gaborieau owns bankapproved. ca, and said he wanted to make sure his birthday was great, so he paid for McLean to perform, and charged a cover at the door. All the proceeds are going to the Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen. “The guys at the hotel wanted to have a birthday party for me and I said ‘only if we charge at the door and give it back to the community,’” Gaborieau said. McLean is from Winnipeg, but said the last time he was in Selkirk was probably 20 years ago. “I haven’t been to Selkirk very often. It’s nice to be back,” McLean said. Gaborieau said he was happy to get such a high profile blues musician to play in Selkirk. “He’s a big deal,” Gaborieau said. McLean has traveled internationally for much of his career, but likes to stay closer to home these days. “I do most of my work in the west. It’s my home base,” McLean said. He said playing the blues is his passion in life. “That’s what I like to do. I love the music. I like keeping a lot of the old school tunes alive.” Big Chad said he was happy with his birthday celebration, and on Tuesday he announced he had raised approximately $500 for the soup kitchen. 3 15015gg17 RECORD PHOTO COURTESY MYRINDA PETERSON Juno Award Winner Big Dave McLean (left) rocks out on stage in Selkirk Saturday night, in a show that lent a hand to the Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen.

The K-9 school in Grand Marais held a career fair last Thursday afternoon, and brought in people with a wide range of careers to talk to students about all the different kinds of careers they could get into once their school days are over. The kids are still only school aged, but Marla Yarema, the school’s guidance councillor, said that shouldn’t stop them from thinking about the future. “So the idea is to get them thinking about different job options, and get them excited,” said Yarema. She said she knows all kids learn differently and have different strengths, so a big idea of the fair was to get kids to build on those strengths. She said they wanted to make kids aware that their future could be very bright, even if they aren’t strong at classes like math and science. “So they could be body smart and work with their hands, or they could be art smart and work in a creative field, or be logical smart and get into something like engineering.” RECORD PHOTOS BY DAVE BAXTER Chris Feakes talked to kids about the work he does as an ironworker, at the Walter Whyte career fair last Thursday. The career fair also showed kids with a knack for creativity that they could find a career that builds on that creativity. “So we have a musician, and a tattoo artist, and a video game developer, so they can see that they can build on those creative smarts.” The school even invited me (Dave Baxter, editor of the Selkirk Record) to talk to kids about being a reporter and 217 Clandeboye Ave., Selkirk Fridays at 4 p.m. Booking Deadline Proof Deadline Mondays at 4 p.m. Office Hours: Monday-Friday 9:30-5:00 the world of journalism and I thank reer fair for grade nines, but it grew them for the opportunity. from there and ended up involving all The fair featured people in the the school’s students. school’s gym talking to kids about Many of the presenters were parents what they do, and showing them of kids that go to the school, and three some of the aspects of them were even forof those jobs. mer Walter Whyte stuThere were people dents. from a wide range of Walter Whyte princareers including a cipal Gloria Juvonen “ I hope you all politician, ironworktalked to all the school’s find something er, tattoo artist, and students when the fair firefighter. wrapped up, and had that you are Some of the guests good advice for them were set up in classpassionate about, as they look towards rooms and did larger their future. and that you presentations with “I hope you all find the kids. something that you are love to do.” There were presenpassionate about, and tations from a Conthat you love to do,” servation Officer, a baker, a hairstylist, said Junoven. a truck driver and more.

Robbie Burns, a Scottish poet and lyricist from the 17th century, was remembered as a smart man who strived for equality. “He was a bit of a forward thinker of his time,” said Shannon Baxter, the chair of the committee who put on the Robbie Burns Tea at the legion. Burns is celebrated around the world every year on Robbie Burns Day, which landed on Sunday. The Glenaura Pipes and Drums band organizes an event every year in honour of Burns, and the band played their pipes for a packed legion on Sunday. Band president Bob Grant said Burns was a fantastic writer who deserves to be remembered. He said people of all cultures celebrate the birth of Burns all over the world, because he was such a great poet and leader. Burns was a spokesman for the Scottish Enlightenment, and a strong advocate for human rights. “He was 200 years ahead of his time,” Grant said. “They developed this idea of democracy, and no status because of who you are when you’re born.” Grant noted Burns supported women’s rights during a time where the idea was almost unheard of. It’s the first time the Glenaura Pipes and Drums have put on a tea instead of a dinner to honour Burns, but everything went smoothly on Sunday. “It went really well,” Grant said. Manitoba Ice Fishing Association 2014/2015 RAFFLE RECORD PHOTO BY AUSTIN GRABISH The Glenaura Pipes and Drums band celebrated Robbie Burns, a 17th century Scottish poet and Scottish Enlightenment spokesman on Sunday at the Selkirk Legion, and are also celebrating the bands 25th anniversary this year. And the fact the Glenaura Pipes and Drums are celebrating their 25th year probably had a small part of Sunday’s success. Leigh Ward, the pipe major of the band, said the band is going strong. “It’s a nice group,” Ward said. “It’s just fun.” Ward has been in the band for the last 15 years, and said she’s enjoyed the opportunities she’s had over the years with the group. of a Portable Ice Shack & Auger Wondering how to celebrate your Birthday?

We are facing oblivion in rural Manitoba unless we take a significant change in direction,” Nevakshonoff said. Ashton said he would consult municipalities on their local priorities if elected premier. He also said he would increase the rate of growth in infrastructure funding available to municipalities by 50 per cent of what it currently sits at. Premier Greg Selinger is fighting in the leadership race to keep his job, and former Jobs and Economy Minister Theresa Oswald is also eyeing up the NDP leadership seat. The NDP leadership convention is on March 8 in Winnipeg. We want to hear from you. Northwest Winnipeg Natural Gas Pipeline Open House record file photo by austin grabish NDP leadership hopeful Steve Ashton said he would restore relationships with rural Manitoba if he was premier. Manitoba Hydro is proposing to extend an existing pipeline located at Selkirk Avenue and the Perimeter Highway to ensure a reliable and continual source of natural gas to our customers. The proposed pipeline will travel north to increase supply in Stonewall and then east to connect to an existing pipeline outside of Selkirk. By Austin Grabish NDP leadership hopeful Steve Ashton announced his plan to better relationships with rural Manitoban communities last Friday. Ashton said if he was Manitoba’s next premier he would consider having government offices moved to rural areas and would review recent proposed closures of rural offices that have come under the Selinger government. “I want to look at not only some of the office closures that have been proposed the last period of time, but a specific initiative of government that will look at us partnering with local communities to provide government services in rural Manitoba, Ashton told a news conference. Ashton said thanks to modern technology government work can be done anywhere and not just in Winnipeg. He said he’s heard from his contacts costs for government offices in rural communities could be lower when compared to their counterparts in Winnipeg. He said employees could be attracted to work in rural Manitoba because of the low cost of living. Ashton’s pledge to move crown jobs to rural communities isn’t new. Former Progressive Conservative Premier Gary Filmon tried bringing government jobs to rural communities in the 1990s. “There was a similar initiative a number of years ago and its time has come again,” Ashton said. Interlake MLA Tom Nevakshonoff is backing Ashton and stood beside him for last Friday’s announcement. “The NDP in Manitoba needs support in rural Manitoba to form government,” said Nevakshonoff, in a press re- EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH FOR DECEMBER At S Selkirk’s Susan Shumanski 263 Main St, Selkirk Kulyk Congratulations! 1051Danielle Manitoba Ave, Selkirk Manitoba Hydro will hold open houses to share information and gather feedback on the Northwest Winnipeg Natural Gas Pipeline at the locations listed below.

Gosh it was odd how similar stories kept popping up during visits on the ice with our fellow anglers this week. Remember a couple of weeks ago when we met James Penner, Matt Castro and Josh Kocker in my article who were worried that early Red River ice cutting would force them to move their shack soon? Well, I got a call from Darrell Kupchik who runs that operation and he wants us to know that while they’re asking shackers at Breezy Point to move by Feb. 2, they will only disturb folks in small bunches as they work upstream. Apparently TV reporters interviewing anglers at Sugar Island gave them the impression that they had to move their shacks now, which is not true and it really upset Darrell. This concern came up again when visiting folks at Balsam Bay last weekend. When I got to the pier I headed for a couple of tailgaters I could just see through the light misty rain. Upon reaching the men, I introduced myself to Winnipeggers Brad Ehinger, a thin fit fellow with a long white-grey mustache and goatee and Tony Curtis a taller, fuller figured man with a shorter mustache and goatee. During our talks, I mentioned that Darrell had called about the start of ice cutting on the Red and Brad, who has a hard wall shack on the river by the steam plant, very emphatically said, “Dredge the mouth of the river and you won’t have ice problems! It’s basic physics!” You know gang, I’ve listened to folks who feel spring ice jamming can be cured by ice cutting while others want to see dredging. I think it should be a combination of both. The ice cutting equipment we have can be used to cut ice and dredge, all we need is for the Feds to step up and share the cost with our province, after all it is their river. As we continued talking, Tony gave us a story where last week his To place an ad or for COMMERCIAL DESIGN & PRINTING Brett Mitchell: 204-485-0010 Email: bigandcolourful@mymts.net Rosalyn Church: 204-485-1419 Email: rosalyn@selkirkrecord.ca or call our office at 204-785-1618 > express photo submitted Pictured, from left, is Colby Pakulak, Colten Vg, Darcy Pakuluk and Aidaein Pakaluk with some of their catch. Also Robert Vg is checking things out through the door window. and Brad’s families were at Brad’s shack and Tony’s grandson, Julienne, slipped his leg into one of the fishing holes getting him wet up to his hip. Tony had spent all morning hauling all kinds of stuff to the river so the whole family could have a day outdoors and now he was faced with having to take everyone home. Tony was not one to give in so the boys jumped in the truck and ran over to Walmart and bought Julienne a whole new set of clothes while the girls in the shack dried the boy off. An afternoon of ice fishing was saved! Later, I ran over to Chalet Beach in the Interlake for a story and I noticed that while the shackers at Balsam are spread out for miles in no particular pattern their counterparts at Chalet are spotted in a seven mile line along the major ice break. Coming onto the ice at Warner Road I could see a large shack straight east about a mile out. I slowly idled out to what was more like a cottage; got out of my truck and knocked on the door asking the folks inside if they had a good fishing story for their fellow anglers. The door opened and I was ushered into a brightly lit, high walled shack with EDITORIAL Dave Baxter, Reporter: 204-995-6141 Email: dbaxter@selkirkrecord.ca a vaulted ceiling. Kids and adults of all ages milled about, some fishing in holes in a lounge area while others snacked by the kitchen cabinets. It was an absolutely heartwarming sight to take in! An averaged sized man and a thinner fit fellow by the names of Darcy Pakulak and Robert Vg respectively came forward to greet me. Above the din of the families’ lively conversations we traded fishing stories one of which was; are you ready for this? Years ago when family member Melissa Vg was four years old she fell into a fishing hole with one leg up to her hip! Laughing, I told everyone I had just heard the same kind of story from an angler at Balsam Bay the only difference being that when it happened to Melissa there was no Walmart in Selkirk to go to for new clothes. In Melissa’s’ case, they simply took her clothes off and dried them over the stove and kept on fishing! I’d like to thank Lana Meier, my publisher, for letting me be a little more yappy than usual so we could talk about ice jamming on the Red. Bye for now. TROUBLE WITH PAPER DELIVERY?

Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh told reporters Minnesota’s ratification of the Accord is a step in the right direction. “If we’re going to solve the challenge of Lake Winnipeg and the algal blooms that are increasingly showing up there, it’s really important,” Mackintosh said. Minnesota waterways currently have similar problems as ones found in Lake Winnipeg. Lakes have algae problems and invasive species like zebra mussels have become a problem for the U.S. state. letters Concerned parents speak out Dear Editor, As a group of parents who put community and the education of our children first we have enjoyed reading your articles of child care improvements to the Interlake. However in all of these press releases, the news of the closure of the YMCA-YWCA’s program in Clandeboye has been missed. How can provincial and educational divisions boost improvements, yet shelter and ignore the complete removal of care and not be responsible? We are writing today as concerned parents and community members. The YMCA has been operating a Before & After School Program in our local school, William S. Patterson School, located in Clandeboye. The YMCA has now given notice that they will cease operating the program at the end of this school year (June 2015). “Zebra mussels is one of the hottest topics in our state for natural resource managers,” Linc Stine said. “It’s a very big issue.” Mackintosh said Lake Winnipeg directly impacts a total of nine governments in both Canada and the United States. “We’ve got to make sure that all of the nine jurisdictions are working together and are addressing the challenges,” Mackintosh said. Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan are all key provinces that have a vital role to play in the protection of Lake Winnipeg, he said. Discussions about ratifying the Accord remain ongoing with the Prairie provinces, but no timeframe for future signings of the Accord was given. “We’re getting some very good feedback from the premiers of the Canadian provinces,” Mackintosh said. “It all depends on how the discussions go so we’re not putting strict timelines on this one. We recognize This has been an extremely valuable program both in our school and in our community. There is a dearth of available child care spaces rurally, and there is no licensed child care centre that provides services to the Clandeboye/Petersfield area. The Government of Manitoba has repeatedly expressed its commitment to increasing child care spaces and providing child care spaces within schools. We offer the following recent examples: · Deputy Premier Robinson noted additional achievements in 2014 included supporting health, education, social services and public safety by: supporting the creation of 250 new child-care spaces in Winnipeg, St. Andrews and Oak Lake (December 31, 2014, News Release) · Minister Irvin-Ross noted that over the last 15 years, the Manitoba government has created more than 14,000 new spaces, and invested in renovating and creating more than 100 new We’re not far away... and SPECIAL ORDER: we • BOOKS • MUSIC • MOVIES • TV SERIES’ DVD a classic Bring home today We Special Order BLAINE’S New n Locatio 11-1795 Henderson Hwy (McIvor Mall) 204-691-4514 Toll Free blaines@shaw.ca 1-844-751-1633 record PHOTO BY AUSTIN GRABISH Minnesota Pollution Control Commissioner John Linc Stine was in Winnipeg to sign the Lake Friendly Accord last Tuesday. that this is a monumental task to get other governments to all come together and sign on to the Accord.” Mackintosh said Manitoba’s ultimate goal is to have all jurisdictions sign both the Accord and individual child care centres. There are currently 300 child care centres in schools in communities throughout the province. (November 27, 2014, News Release) · “Licensed child care centres in schools let children move seamlessly between child care and school within a safe, secure and nurturing environment. We know that investing in and protecting child care centres is not only a smart economic decision, it is the right decision for Manitoba families,” said Minister Bjornson. (November 27, 2014, News Release) · “Our government will continue to work with parents, education leaders and child care partners to ensure high-quality child care continues to be accessible and affordable for all Manitoba families,” Minister Bjornson said. (November 27, 2014, News Release) We have spoken with other parents that are interested in working together to ensure the continuation of a Before & After School Program at William S. Patterson School.

The annexes require governments to create action plans specific to their region so tangible results are achieved. Dunnottar Mayor Rick Gamble lives along the shores of Lake Winnipeg and has become concerned with the health of the lake in recent years. “I’m seeing the results of what is happening,” said Gamble, who chairs the South Basin Mayors and Reeves, a group that partnered with the province when it first announced the Accord in 2013. The Lake Winnipeg Foundation praised Minnesota for signing the Accord, but said it is still new and any tangible results that come from it remain to be seen. “We look forward to learning more about the specific commitments being made by new signatories to the Accord – in particular, how any actions being promised will be funded to ensure they are implemented and sustained,” said co-interim executive director Marlo Campbell, in an email. that safe and appropriate care is provided to students. If the YMCA is no longer interested in providing services, how can we work together to find an alternate service provider? We do understand that the YMCA feels that this program is no longer financially viable. In discussion with other parents, we believe that this can be a financially viable program if there is a service provider that is willing to work with parents and adapt the program to the student population and community needs. Given that there is a group of active and involved parents that are willing to work towards securing our Before & After School program, what support can you provide? Thank you for your time. We look forward to working together with all our community partners, school partners and government representatives to ensure the continued programming.

In the last few years the building had been deteriorating, and covered in graffiti. RECORD PHOTO BY DAVE BAXTER Province creates agricultural risk management task force By Dave Baxter The province is establishing a new task force to evaluate existing programs and policies used to help farmers recover from weather-related challenges such as flooding. Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Minister Ron Kostyshyn said the goal of the task force is to identify more comprehensive and sustainable programs. “Manitoba’s farmers have told us existing agricultural programs can’t adequately address these climate-related challenges, especially as they become more common,” said Kostyshyn in a press release. “We are following through on our commitment to review existing programs and consider options that will be more predictable, comprehensive and sustainable for farmers and governments. “I look forward to hearing from Manitobans as part of the task force’s work on this important issue.” ABM BM M The Agriculture Risk Management Review Task Force will be chaired by Arborg-area farmer Bill Uruski, and include five additional members. Its work will include holding a series of public consultations to receive input from Manitoba farmers, organizations and other stakeholders, and evaluating the effectiveness of current risk management tools. The task force will also identify gaps in existing policies and programs, recommend new options to improve farmer’s ability to manage climaterelated risks, and identify ways to shift government support from ad hoc assistance to planned and predictable programs. “Living in the Interlake, we have also experienced many of the same challenges that farmers living in other parts of the province have faced in recent years,” said Uruski. “It’s certainly timely to undertake a review of all available business risk management tools, while seeking in- CONCRETE LTD.

S:9.5” 13 14 The Selkirk Record Thursday, January 29, 2015 Paper cranes spread positivity at the Comp RECORD PHOTO BY AUSTIN GRABISH Xavier John Rosarda, Marilha Candido, and two other Comp students made paper cranes with positive messages for 1,200 staff and students at the Comp. By Austin Grabish A Grade 12 student at the Comp is spreading a little piece of positivity one paper crane at a time. Xavier John Rosarda recently decided to give his high school peers an anonymous forum to express life problems they’re having, as part of a take-action project for his global issues class. Rosarda and three partners made boxes for their peers to drop off notes about both life hurdles, as well as positive experiences they’ve had. The point of the project is to make students aware there is a good mix of positivity and negativity in their high school. “I feel like it’s a great way to give them like a let out,” said Rosarda. “Somewhere to give them a place where they can put in what they think about it, or what their burden is.” Rosarda said there was an overwhelming response from students who wrote about problems that are keeping them in a bind. Students wrote about a wide range of issues but the most disturbing submissions were from students who wrote about being pressured for sex, and students who are name called and harassed by family members, Rosarda said. To combat the negativity faced by some students Rosarda made 1,200 paper cranes and wrote a positive message on each, before handing them out to all the staff and students at the Comp. Rosarda said paper cranes hold special meaning in some cultures and are supposed to bring peace, hope, love, good luck, and good fortune to anyone who receives them. Folding 1,200 pieces of paper and then writing a compliment on each was a big undertaking for Rosarda, who led the project. “It was about two months of preparation,” Rosarda said. Rosarda decided to do his project on student mental health after seeing a video made by a former Comp student who featured students with an array of life struggles. “I really loved her idea,” Rosarda said. “So he did that, but then he took it one step forward and said ‘OK what are some of the positive things that people come to school with,’” said Kevin Lopuck, the social studies teacher who runs the global issues course at the Comp. Lopuck said he’s always impressed with student’s final projects in the course because they’re entirely student directed.

By Austin Grabish NDP brass have overturned a decision that stopped northern delegates from voting remotely in the upcoming March leadership race. Delegates in Thompson, The Pas, Swan River, Flin Flon and Kewatinook will now be able to cast their vote for the party’s next leader remotely, the NDP provincial council decided Sunday. “This will empower northerners,” said leadership hopeful Steve Ashton at a news conference. Ashton, who is the MLA for Thompson, said he has many supporters in Northern Manitoba and submitted a petition last Monday to the provincial council demanding it overturn its decision to not accommodate northern voters. Premier Greg Selinger and leadership candidate Theresa Oswald supported the petition and said all voters should be accommodated. But delegates from communities outside of the five northern areas won’t have the option to vote remotely. NDP spokesman Ben Johnson said only the five communities were part of the provincial council’s discussion on Sunday. Johnson said delegates in other areas of the province usually travel down to Winnipeg for the party’s annual convention. “Generally folks come to conventions,” Johnson said. There are over 12,000 NDP members across the province, but only a fraction of that number will actually vote in the upcoming convention. Names of delegates who are eligible to vote will be released on Feb. 2, Johnson said. The NDP’s initial decision to not allow satellite voting had caused a fuss last week in the party. Ashton and others were upset because in 2009 remote voting was allowed at its leadership convention. Parrty president Ellen Olfert said remote voting couldn’t happen this year because the leadership race is part of the party’s annual convention, but rules changed after Ashton’s petition reached the party’s executive, who was then forced to vote on the matter. Selinger, Oswald, and Ashton are all fighting to be Manitoba’s next NDP leader. The NDP leadership convention is in early March.

Find out about marriage legalities in your destination country so you can be sure your union is legally watertight. You and your fiancé should also discuss a marriage contract that clarifies your financial contributions and responsibilities to each other, especially if either of you has children from another marriage. It may not seem very romantic, or one of you may feel the other is preparing to abandon the marriage before it even gets started, but that’s not what it’s all about. A prenuptial agreement shows that you take marriage seriously, as a legal and moral commitment. A future spouse who is well informed before saying “I do” is a worthy counterpart.

Here are a few options. 1. A banquet. This is the classic wedding dinner format. It’s often preceded by a cocktail reception with appetizers and a cash- or open bar. The meal, which includes several courses, is served to guests at their tables by wait staff. The cost varies according to the number of courses and the choice and variety of dishes on offer. 2. Tapas. It’s possible to replace the traditional three course meal with tapas, or as sorted samples of different dishes. These can be a meal in themselves when served at the table and in sufficient quantities. 3. A cocktail party. This format involves an informal seating plan that allows guests to circulate and nibble on a variety of finger foods throughout the eve ning. It’s a great way to encourage mingling among your guests. 4. A buffet. Simple and affordable, a buffet has the advantage of offering a wider variety of food. Guests get to serve themselves, according to their specific tastes. Discuss the different options with the person responsible for the reception. Whatever format you choose, always provide options for the children and ask guests about allergies, intolerances, and dietary laws. Think about whether you want to offer an open bar or a cash bar, and whether you want to serve a dessert in addition to your wedding cake.

This special day has to be perfect, hence the importance of taking care of even the smallest of organizational details. You don’t want to forget anything, whether it’s a reservation, a fitting, or a trial run for your menu and hairstyle. Here’s a checklist of the 12 key elements you’ll need to take care of along the path to your dream wedding. 1. The ceremony, the officiant, and the reception Are you going to have a civil or religious wedding? Have you asked your best friend to unite you in wedlock? And will the reception be in the country, on a cruise ship, or in a hotel ballroom? Make sure the location you choose can easily accommodate all your guests. You’ll also want to think about signing a marriage contract or prenuptial agreement. 2. The meal and the wedding cake There are loads of things to think about when organizing the meal: the format; the menu; a children’s menu; the bar; and the wedding cake. Say, why not set up a candy bar? And don’t forget to ask about your guests’ food allergies. 3. The atmosphere What theme will you choose to set the tone for your wedding: a colour, a culture, a historical period? Which DJ will get your guests out on the dance floor? Will you surprise everyone with a unique first dance? 4. Photographer United Church & Hall How will you immortalize your wedRev Shelly Manley-Tannis ding: photos, videos, or both?

Remember to in- Little Britain For Your Wedding Flowers dicate the theme and dress code. And do think about including self-addressed stamped envelopes for those essential RSVPs. 6. Wedding bands Your wedding bands are the symbols of your love; choose them with care. Do you both want gold, silver, or with diamonds? Discreet or extravagant? With or without an engraving? 7. Beauty appointments Hairstyle, manicure, waxing, and makeup: leave no thing to chance if you want to be stunning on your big day. Make your appointments for just the right time; you don’t want your roots to be visible under your veil! 8. The dress, suit, and accessories The outfits of bride, groom, and wedding party should be coordinated. Will you be a vision in white or will you choose to add a colourful note? And will the perfect dress feature something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue? 9. Flowers and decorations Have you chosen a colour scheme for your flowers and decorative accessories? What are your favourite flowers? How will the tables be dressed? 10. Transportation Will you arrive by boat, car, horse-drawn carriage, or maybe even by parachute? Whatever your choice, be sure to take your dress and the weather into consideration. 11. Guest favours A personalized trinket, a gourmet sample, or a home decor object: have you found the perfect wedding favour to thank your guests for joining you? 12. The honeymoon A truly idyllic honeymoon shouldn’t break your budget. Are you tempted by an exotic island or a vibrant city?

There’s no need to look far: the secret is in the atmosphere. Here are some tips on how to organize a memorable wedding reception. The theme Begin by choosing the theme that will be the foundation of the wedding. This will guide you through your clothing and decorating choices, and it will even determine the wedding favours you offer and the meal the caterer serves. The theme can be a colour or combination of colours, an era or a season, a country or a culture, an object or a shared passion. Above all, it should reflect both your personalities. Entertainment and music If you hire an entertainer along with your DJ or musicians, you’ll have more fun at your own wedding. You’ll both be able to circulate amongst your guests, and there won’t be any uncomfortable lulls. A good DJ is a facilitator who can adapt to the age and tastes of the guests and keep the momentum going. Just be sure that anyone you hire can entertain according to your theme. Some ideas for surprising your guests • Plan a unique arrival at the reception. • Set up a photo booth with wacky accessories. • Provide a guest book that can be a decorative item in your home after the reception. • Work out a dance routine to perform together or with your wedding party. • Have a karaoke machine for later on, at the reception. • Release disposable lanterns into the sky when it gets dark, or plan some fireworks. • Hire a magician, a croupier with casino tables, or a caricaturist to en tertain your guests. • Serve custom cocktails, poured by a professional flair bartender who can juggle bottles and do some spectacular bartending tricks.

The students are putting on a quiz night fundraiser to raise cash for building supplies they will use when they venture overseas to Ecuador on a school-building trip next summer. The two-hour game night on Feb. 18 will quiz participants on everything from sports, to celebrities, to TV theme songs, and there will also be a dedicated trivia section on Ecuador. The roughly 20 Grade 10 and 11 students putting on the event are hoping to start generating some public interest about their trip, and have already set a fundraising goal for the night. “We’re hoping to make a couple thousand, obviously the more the better,” said Grade 11 student Tessa Morelli. Students going on the trip have a hefty price tag to pay. Me to We, the social enterprise running the trip, said a trip to Ecuador will cost $3,995 per student. But none of the funds raised at quiz night will pay for individual student trips. All funds raised will pay for The Selkirk Record Thursday, January 29, 2015 building supplies, Morelli said. The quiz night will be open to everyone, but folks are encouraged to come with a group of five to eight people if they can, as teams will be competing against other groups. But Morelli said individuals don’t need to fret if they can’t put a team together. “If you don’t have a team you can easily join with someone else,” Morelli said. The quiz night fundraiser is the student’s first ‘big’ fundraiser since signing up for the trip last year. Grade 11 student Amanda Allardice said she’s been excited about the trip for some time. Her sister Meagan went to Kenya in 2012 on a school-building trip with the Comp, and that inspired her to sign up for the Ecuador trip. “I just like the way that she came back and her whole perspective was changed, and she thought of everything so differently,” Allardice said. “So I’ve been excited since she came home to go on my own trip.” In addition to building a school in Ecuador students will learn about women’s rights, indigenous rights, 23 RECORD PHOTO BY AUSTIN GRABISH These Comp students are going on a school-building trip to Ecuador next summer, and are putting on a trivia night to raise funds for supplies on Feb. 18. and issues surrounding access to education in the country. Morelli said quiz night will be a night filled with fun. “A great atmosphere, a fun time, lots of different people mingling together,” Morelli said. Quiz night takes place Feb. 18 from 7–9 p.m. at the Comp’s cafeteria. Tickets are $10 each and will be available at the door. The Comp is located at 221 Mercy St. in Selkirk. Amphibex program ready to hit the ice Officials say ice on the river is thicker than last year By Dave Baxter The Amphibex program is set to go in southern Manitoba, and officials who run the program said even though people see a lot less snow than last winter, that doesn’t mean they don’t have to get out and start breaking the ice. Darrell Kupchick, director of operations for North Red Waterway Maintenance said people will soon see ice cutters and Amphibex ice breakers out on the Red River, as they will begin at the end of Main near Netley Creek, and work their way towards Selkirk. Ice cutting machines are set to begin work on the river on Feb. 9, while Amphibex ice breakers will start on Feb. 16. Kupchick said he knows that some people likely believe there is no danger of flooding or ice-jams this year because there is far less snow than last year, but he said people should not be fooled by what they see. He said ice on the Red River is actually twice as thick as it was at this time last year, and there is still a lot of winter left to go. “We have heard comments that there is no snow, but it’s only the end of January and we are only a couple of blizzards away from a serious problem,” said Kupchick. “If we get a couple of storms we are in bad shape because we have thick ice, so you are setting yourself up for a bad situation. “We don’t have a crystal ball to know what is going to happen. So we have to get out there and break that ice.” He said as crews work their way up the river towards Selkirk they will tag ice fishing shacks, and once they are tagged owners will have two weeks to either move them farther up stream, or remove them. He said they try to work in a way that minimizes hassle for ice fishermen. “Is it being done as effectively as we can, while minimizing impact,” said Kupchick. RECORD FILE PHOTO BY DAVE BAXTER 22-tonne Amphibex machines are set to begin breaking ice in Southern Manitoba to prevent flooding and ice-jams. “We just tag the ones that will affect us in the next two weeks, and they have two weeks to move them. “We’re not saying it’s the end of ice fishing season, because it’s definitely not.” He said it takes about four weeks to complete the ice breaking job, and they are right on schedule with their start dates. He said they have to start at the beginning of February, as there is always the possibility of a spring weather starting early in March. 24 The Selkirk Record Thursday, January 29, 2015 Funny man happy to support West St. Paul Lions Club By Dave Baxter Brent Butt is feeling a wave of momentum after the success of the Corner Gas movie, which came out in December. And the Canadian funny man will ride that momentum into Manitoba this February, for a show that will support the West St. Paul Lions Club. The Laugh Your Butt Off comedy show will see Butt, who is best known for his time on the hit Canadian sitcom Corner Gas, bring his stand-up comedy to Winnipeg’s Pantages Playhouse Theatre on Feb 21. Money raised from the show will help the West St. Paul Lions Club continue their generous charitable work. In an exclusive interview with the Selkirk Record, Butt said 2014 was one of the busiest, but also one of the best years of his career. “It was a crazy year,” said Butt. “I had two movies come out, and I did two tours, but it’s been a whole lot of fun, so it’s all good.” He said although he expected a good response when Corner Gas: The Movie was released, it still surpassed his expectations. It was the first time the crew from the fictional town of Dog River had been on screen since the popular show ended back in 2009. “I wouldn’t say the popularity of the movie totally surprised me because ever since the show ended people would ask when we were doing a movie. “So I knew there would be interest and we had high expectations, but the response still surpassed our expectations.” Butt said Corner Gas may have ended years ago, but it’s often the one thing people want to talk about when they meet him. “And the crazy thing is they talk about certain scenes or episodes, so the fans are so knowledgeable about the show.” Corner Gas was based in a fictional small town in Saskatchewan, but it was a big deal all over Canada. “One of the reasons we were so good is cause we did good across all demographics,” said Butt. “On any given week our highest per capita ratings could be in rural Saskatchewan, or downtown Toronto.” He said he is especially excited for the show in Winnipeg, because it will help the West St. Paul Lions Club. “It’s always nice when comedy and SOCCER 2015 OUTDOOR REGISTRATION TRI-S Premier / Developmental Teams The TRI-S Soccer Club is now taking registrations for players born in 2008 to 2001 for the following Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association Divisions: Boys and Girls U9-U12 Outdoor Developmental Girls Premier (Age 13U/14U) Boys Premier (Age U13) All interested players must be registered online by February 15 at www.trissoccer.com. * Evaluations will follow for registered players, see website for details TRI-S U15 to U18 Recreational registration will start in the middle of March. *There will be no registration for U9-U14 Recreation teams.

Local comedian Jimmy Mack will also perform at the show. Promoter Nancy Grubiak is putting on the show, and money raised will support the West St. Paul Lions Club. The Lions Club organizes a number of charitable initiatives every year to help children in West St. Paul and children around the world.

Bezan pleased with federal funding for holodomor tour News Release Selkirk, MB Member of Parliament James Bezan (Selkirk-Interlake) is pleased to share news of $1.5 million in federal funding for the Holodomor National Awareness Tour. The Canada Ukraine Foundation will receive an investment of $1.5 million from Citizenship and Immigration Canada for the cross-Canada tour. The project will educate Canadians of all ages and backgrounds on this tragic historical event and highlight the importance of our shared values of freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. “I want to thank the federal government for this funding, along with the Canada Ukraine Foundation for developing this educational project,” stated MP Bezan. “This initiative will increase public awareness and education of the genocide known as Holodomor. With this increase in public awareness, we can work to stop these types of atrocities from occurring in the future.” The Holodomor was a deliberate starvation of the Ukrainian people, premeditated by the Soviet Union. It was headed by Joseph Stalin during 1932-1933, as a means to undermine the nationalistic pride of the Ukrainian people. It served to control and further oppress the Ukrainian people by denying them the basic essentials they needed to survive and it is estimated that upwards of 10 million Ukrainians perished in this genocide. “I am proud to be a part of this government who supports the UkrainianCanadian community,” expressed MP Bezan. “My Private Member’s Bill in 2008 established that the Holodomor was an act of genocide, making Canada the first western country to recognize this fact.” “Canada has and will always stand with the Ukrainian people,” concluded MP Bezan. “I look forward to seeing this educational tour in schools across the country. sports&recreation The Selkirk Record Thursday, January 29, 2015 inside > outside > 25 ups ide down Einarson reaches Scotties provincial final By Brian Bowman Kerri Einarson’s run at the Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts was a spectacular one. Gimli’s Einarson, who curls out of East St. Paul, reached the finals of the provincial women’s curling championship before losing 5-2 to St. Vital’s Jennifer Jones on Sunday in Winkler. Jones led 2-1 after five ends and then Einarson tied it up in the sixth. In the eighth, Jones scored a key pair to go up 4-2. Einarson’s hammer shot in the ninth failed to get deep enough, allowing Jones a steal of one. Jones then ran Einarson, and her team of third Selena Kaatz, second Liz Fyfe, and lead Kristin MacCuish, out of rocks in the 10th. The win gave Jones, the reigning Olympic champion, her seventh provincial women’s curling title. For Einarson, meanwhile, this was the second consecutive year that she reached the women’s provincial final. Last year, she lost her final game 6-2 to Chelsea Carey. Einarson punched her ticket to the final on Sunday morning after a 5-3 semifinal victory over Assiniboine Memorial’s Barb Spencer. The turning point came in the ninth when Einarson stole two after Spencer was light on a draw for one. Einarson was perfect in the round robin, finishing with a 7-0 record. That earned her a berth into the Page playoff 1 vs. 1 game against Jones on Saturday evening. Jones won that matchup 9-6 after jumping out to a 5-2 lead after just three ends. Einarson definitely made headlines as she reached the provincial final. But she also was the talk of the provincials earlier in the week when she scored an extremely rare eight-ender in the seventh end of her first game against Dauphin’s Tiffany McLean. Einarson won the game 16-3 but history was made in that one end. Einarson had never scored eight in an end before and many believe it was the first eight-ender in Scotties provincial history. record photo by rick hiebert Kerri Einarson throws her rock while playing against Janet Harvey Friday night at the Winkler Arena during the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Selkirk’s Fishermen lead KJHL standings By Brian Bowman The Selkirk Fishermen had two tough Keystone Junior Hockey League tests last week with games against Arborg and Peguis. It’s safe to say the Fishermen passed those tests with flying colours. Selkirk defeated the Ice Dawgs 5-1 in Arborg on Jan. 21 and then destroyed the Juniors 8-2 at home on Sunday evening. In the lopsided win over Peguis, Selkirk snapped a 1-1 second-period tie with four goals in just under five minutes. The Fishermen then added three unanswered goals in the third period. Cory Balcaen led Selkirk with two goals while Scott Thomas, Jeremy Pachkowsky, Griffin Steeves, and Karl Fey each had a goal and an assist. Daniel Fiebelkorn and Dylan PainchaudNiemi scored Selkirk’s other goals. Brandon Paradoski had three assists for the Fishermen, who outshot the Juniors 56-20. Jesse Flett and Tyrell Armstrong were the only Peguis players to put the puck past Fishermen goalie Bretton Fewchuk. In the win over Arborg, Pachkowsky gave the Fishermen a 1-0 first-period lead with a shorthanded goal and then he made it 2-0 just 42 seconds into the second period. Thomas notched a power-play goal before Jesse Chupka scored Arborg’s only goal. The Fishermen came right back, however, with goals from Drayton Mendrun and Steeves. Jordan Liske was good in goal for Selkirk, making 37 saves. With the two wins last week, the Fishermen are now 19-6-0-1 and in first place in the KJHL standings with 39 points. That’s two points better than Arborg and North Winnipeg, each with 18-8-0-1 records. Selkirk will visit the much-improving Lundar Falcons on Friday (8 p.m.) and then will host the St. Malo Warriors on Saturday (7:30 p.m.). record photo by lana meier Drayton Mendrun scored in the Fishermen’s 5-1 win against the Ice Dawgs Jan. 21. sports&recreation 26 The Selkirk Record Thursday, January 29, 2015 inside > outside > ups ide down Rebels take part in Hockey Winnipeg ‘AA’ all-star day record photos by lana meier The Lord Selkirk/Seven Oaks Rebels were well represented at Hockey Winnipeg’s “AA” All-Star day last Saturday at the Selkirk Recreation Complex.

Steelers slump to three straight losses last week By Brian Bowman The Selkirk Steelers have had better weeks. Selkirk lost all three of its games last week – getting outscored 11-5 in the process – in Manitoba Junior Hockey League action. The Steelers capped off a winless week after a 3-1 loss to the Winnipeg Blues at the MTS Iceplex on Sunday afternoon. “It was a tough week,” admitted Steelers’ head coach Wayne Bartley. Selkirk mustered just 15 shots in the loss to the Blues and Steelers’ forward Justin Derlago scored Selkirk’s lone goal in the second period. Derlago has been playing very well in recent games. “It was actually a pretty good game,” Bartley said. “There weren’t a lot of shots on net – everything was kept to the outside in both directions. Both teams played fairly tight…and I thought it was our best game out of the three.” Scott Rowswell scored a first-period goal for Winnipeg while Kamerin Nault and Jackson Keane tallied in the third. Keane’s goal was an emptynetter.

And showed a pulse against the league’s then they got a couple of quick goals and that changed the momentum of third-worst team.

The Selkirk Record Thursday, January 29, 2015 27 JV girls improving on the court By Brian Bowman While the end of January will be a quiet period for the Selkirk Royals’ junior varsity girls’ basketball team, February’s calendar will be a busy one. The Royals were off during exams and then will take part in a Fort Richmond tournament this weekend. It will be the first of three consecutive weekend tournaments for the Royals. After a slow start, Royals’ head coach Sue Gilmour has seen quite a bit of improvement from her squad. “Since the start of the season to our (last game) against Garden City, even the parents are commenting to as how much the girls have improved,” Gilmour noted. The Royals are doing a much better job in recent weeks pushing the ball upcourt. “We’re starting to move the ball better,”“Gilmour said. “We’re getting out of that junior high (mentality) where everyone has to dribble the ball 30 times. We’re getting into the faster-paced (game) where we move the ball offensively. That’s something we struggled with in the first part of the season.” Defensively, the Royals are starting to make the right adjustments. Playing a zone defence has worked well for Selkirk, said Gilmour. “The obstacle that we’ve had is that we’ve only had four practices since the start of the season with the entire team at practice,” Gilmour sighed. “That makes it a little more challenging because they’re certain concepts that you want to teach, but you want to teach them when the entire team is there. “That really limits us to what we can teach.” The Royals are currently 1-4 in KPAC, with their lone victory coming against MBCI by a 4132 score. “We have played Kildonan East twice, which are probably No. 2 in KPAC, and Garden City, which are the two toughest teams in KPAC,” Gilmour explained. “We have played the tougher teams more than the teams that we are more equal to, so hopefully (our record) changes after we come back from the exam break.” Selkirk had a good battle with the talented Garden City Fighting Gophers, losing 71-41, on Jan. 20. Garden is widely considered to be one of the top teams in the province. “Thirty (point loss) sounds like a lot but we actually played quite well,” Gilmour noted.“I don’t think the score was indicative of how well we played. Garden City is just that good.” Garden City is an extremely good shooting team. “We were challenging shots,” Gilmour recalled. “But they were just hitting them.” Away from KPAC play, Selkirk has fared pretty well in tournaments so far this season, finishing fourth at a University of Manitoba event and later winning the consolation side of a Sisler Spartans tourney. Selkirk will resume league play Tuesday when it hosts River East. Tip-off is 6 p.m. Royals buck Miles Mac By Brian Bowman The Selkirk Royals wanted to go into the exam break on a high note. And they did exactly that. It doesn’t get any better than scoring four goals in the third period of a 4-1 home victory over the Miles Mac Buckeyes. Selkirk stunned Miles Mac with that strong third period, highlighted by two goals from Courtney Sorokopud-Jones. Mckenzie Pelletier and Natalie Bennett scored Selkirk’s other goals. Nadia Zelych assisted on two of those Selkirk goals. Kali Solmundson, meanwhile, scored a firstand third-period goal for Miles Mac. Shayne Smellie made 34 saves in the win. On Jan. 20, the Royals were downed 4-1 by the West Kildonan Wolverines. Bennett scored Selkirk’s lone goal in the first period, assisted by Sorokopud-Jones and Makenzie Peters. Destyni Chiborak scored twice for West Kildonan while Brittney Driedger and Alyssa Kostek had the other Wolverines’ goals. Smellie made 24 saves in the loss. With the split last week, the Royals are now 3-11-2-1 and have nine points on the season. Selkirk will host the CLC Scorpions on Monday in East Selkirk. Game time is 3:45 p.m. The Portage Collegiate Institute Saints will then visit the Royals next Thursday (4:15 p.m.) in St. Andrews.

After broadcast school in Saskatoon, Paul landed his first job at KX96 in Brandon using the on air name of “Paul Bradley”. After a few years in Brandon, Paul moved to Fort Frances and hosted a very successful morning show for many years. Upon returning to Winnipeg to work at KISS 97, Paul decided to leave broadcasting and embark on his next career, truck driving. He attended driver training school where he acquired his Class 1 license. After a few years of driving long haul routes and a short time at McDiarmid Lumber, Paul moved to Olympic Builders. Olympic was a work place that he truly loved and where he forged many great friendships. His second family continued to shower him with love, kindness and support throughout his illness. Paul’s had many passions including music, animals and motorcycles. He loved his Harley and would ride as much as he could. During his time in Fort Frances, Paul helped organize and promote numerous rides for local charities. Paul and Pat had many animal friends and he would talk about them like a proud father, especially his best pal, Sweetpea. The furry pack will miss their master greatly. Paul will truly be missed. Race the rain, ride the wind, chase the sunset. Thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Riverview Health Centre for their care and support.

Paul, age 76, passed peacefully after spending his last hours in the company of his partner, our beloved Lucy Nickerson. Paul is survived by his brothers Jim Wilson (Sharon), Bob Wilson, and sister Marie Thompson (Raymond); his children Paul L. Wilson (Colleen), Michael Wilson (Nina Borgensen), Susan Lissoway (Arnie), and Lynn Friesen (Jared). Paul greatly enjoyed the company of all of his grandchildren: Kathryn, Shannon, Allison, Samantha, Joshua, Evan, Ellen, and Jesse, and his greatgrandchildren Sam, Ray and Bennett. Paul was predeceased by his spouse of 46 years, Laurena Daisy Wilson who passed away May 3, 2007. Paul was born in Hamilton, August 17, 1938 to John Harvey Wilson and Margaret Gertrude (Gaymer). Paul married Laurena December 16, 1960 in Winnipeg and moved with the armed forces to several locations including Chicoutimi Quebec and Chatham, New Brunswick. As a young couple, life was adventurous following a bush pilot’s career. When returning to Winnipeg in 1965, Paul began to work as a pilot for Trans Air culminating in a long and distinguished career before retiring as a 767 Captain from Air Canada at age 60. Paul and Laurena raised their family in Winnipeg and together they enjoyed travel, life and friends. After retirement, Paul began building an airplane at their home in Clandeboye, so he could continue to fly. We will miss this character who enjoyed a good joke and spending time with his family and friends. Some of our fondest family memories are of our summers spent at Camp Kakepitay and in Clandeboye with all the grandchildren tubing in Medicine Creek, fishing and flying the SeaRey around Petersfield neighbourhood. We give our thanks and appreciation to all the staff at the Grace General Hospital for their excellent care and all the visitors who enriched his life. A Celebration of his life will be held at the Gilbart Funeral Home in Selkirk on Friday, January 30, 2015 at 2:00 p.m., with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in his name to Little Britain United Church Cemetery Fund, 5879 Hwy #9, Lockport, Manitoba R1A2P7.

She took great joy in living on the family farm where she tended her vegetable garden and flower beds with her faithful companion Mitzi by her side. She loved having guests and always made sure they were well fed before an evening of cards. One of the ways she showed love was through feeding her loved ones, whether they be family, friends, her caregivers, birds, or cats.

Annie will be lovingly remembered by her family Leonard (Joan), Randy (Deborah); grandchildren, Kyle, Christopher, Meagan, and Alexander.

Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements. www.gilbartfuneralhome.com OBITUARY Henry Louis (Buddy) Sinclair, Jr. March 13, 1952 – January 22, 2015 Peacefully, after a brief battle with a stroke, our uncle, brother, godfather, friend, and relative Buddy started his journey to the west. He is remembered by the many he teased and loved so much, especially his brother and sister Murray and Diane, his sister-inlaw Katherine and his brother-in-law Walter. Buddy was a proud relative of many families – either through blood or love – and these include members of the Fleury, Sinclair, Shrupka, Mostowy, Thomas, Nickoshie, Peebles, and McCorrister families – among many others. He will particularly be missed by his nieces Kathy, Laurie, Lisa, Dené, Gazheek, his nephew Niigaan (Jamie), and his great-nieces Anitra, Megan, Amanda, and Sarah – all of whom he cared for and constantly brought presents to. One of the proudest moments of his life was when he became a godfather to Marcy and Brandon. He will also be missed by his close friends George, Rose, Henrietta and Al. Buddy was also predeceased by his grandparents James and Catherine (who raised him), his parents Henry Sr. and Florence, and his brother Richard. Buddy was born and raised in Selkirk, where he went to school. He started work very early in life, delivering milk for Lakeland Dairies then spent most of his life working at Motorcoach Industries and Flyer. He was a proud member of Winnipeg Branch No. 1 of the Royal Canadian Legion and Winnipeg’s West End community, living on Furby Street for over thirty years. He was an avid Blue Bombers fan who was always sharing his love for movies and sports. He was a cyclist, often trekking several times from Winnipeg to Selkirk throughout the summer to stay at Auntie Dianne’s house. He loved spending time with family more then anything. One of Buddy’s favorite things to do was to attend annual family reunions at the St. Peter’s Church where he would love to help with the kid’s races. Everyone who met Buddy would walk away with a story and a laugh. He carried a gentle, beautiful and generous spirit. The family would like to send thanks to the staff at the Health Sciences Centre for their care and support during the final days of Buddy’s life. They would also like to give special thanks to Lorena and Jeanette who helped Jamie a great deal while he stayed with Buddy in the hospital. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Buddy’s name to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba at CE501-840 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3A 1S1 or at: http://goodbear. mb.ca. A traditional wake was held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 24, 2015 and a traditional service and feast was held at noon on Sunday, January 25, 2015. Both were held at Gilbart’s Funeral Home in Selkirk, 309 Eveline Street with interment at St. Peter’s Churchyard to follow. All are invited to bring food that Buddy would love and memories to share.
