“Another service is our Lifeline

can activate if they have an emergency in their homes,” Swanson
said. “We started with 27 of these
systems and now we have 127.”
This opportunity is imminent because the Gimli Seniors Resource
Council has chosen “Seasons
in the Sun” as the theme of the
major annual fundraiser for its
programs helping seniors live independently in Gimli, Winnipeg
Beach, Dunnottar, Armstrong and
the north end of St. Andrews.

The process that led to the recent
Gimli council decision to destroy
two dogs that attacked an eight-yearold boy appears to run counter to the
intent of the municipality’s animal
control bylaw. The vicious attack that
left the boy severely bruised and traumatized happened at about 8:15 the
morning March 25 as the victim was
waiting for his school bus.
Cites provincial legislation to skirt public
airing of facts related to vicious attack
In the end, it’s not so much whether council, having heard all the
evidence, made the right decision.
Based on the facts that we have been
able to glean, it appears the decision
to euthanize the dogs was justified.

A public hearing would have, presumably, included important information, such as whether one or both
of the dogs involved in the attack
were ever cited for infractions before, why the dogs were on the loose
and whether the owner was aware
her dogs were running loose. (Neither dog was licensed. The owner of
the two dogs had been cited because
the animals had been found running
loose before.)
Again, many, if not most, people will
simply accept council’s judgement.
In the past, Gimli council has conducted public hearings into whether
a dog should be considered a dangerous animal during the course of a
public, regularly-scheduled meeting.
In one case, the dog owner agreed
to accept that her animal should
be deemed ‘dangerous’. However,
council of the day was able to reach
a compromise that allowed the animal to continue its life elsewhere on
a farm far from people, but nevertheless a controlled environment.
Would that have happened in the latest case? No one but those who sat in
on the recent hearing can say.
It’s difficult to use a bylaw that explicitly allows having an animal deemed
dangerous subsequently destroyed,
while ignoring another key part of
the bylaw that requires a public hearing — the generous provisions of the
Municipal Act notwithstanding.
We allow that council conducted a
special meeting — the ‘Dangerous
Dog Public Hearing’, as it was called
— the day before the regular council meeting. But just how ‘public’ is
a hearing that was not the subject of
public notification?

During last week’s General Council
meeting of the Keystone Agricultural
Producers (KAP) in Portage la Prairie,
the Canadian Wheat Board’s chief
strategy and chief operating officers
called in from their headquarters in
Winnipeg to explain the sale of 50.1
per cent of CWB shares to the G3
Global Grain Group.
“We knew this day was coming,”
KAP president Dan Mazier also told
the Interlake Enterprise on Monday.
“A while back, the CWB wrote in a
technical brief that the Department
of Agriculture basically told them to
shut down or make a viable business
out of the CWB, and so they chose

Gimli Middle School wins ‘Day
of Pink’ short film contest
By Michel Forest
Dr. George Johnson Middle School students responded with shrieks of joy on the
morning of April 8 when their short film
‘Stop’ was announced as the winner in the
Middle Years category at the annual Red
Cross Day of Pink Film Festival in Winnipeg.
0 Meleb Road - OPEN HOUSE Sun. April 26 1:00-3:00pm
Beautiful 1045 sqft home with 2 bdrm, 2 bath, year round sun room located on 40 acres in the RM of Armstrong. Built in 2001 this house features
an open concept living room/kitchen, detached single car garage with
heated workshop and lots of area to explore.
“I was very proud of them at that very moment,” school principal Jim Gibbs told the
Interlake Enterprise on Monday.
The Day of Pink is a nationwide event/contest sponsored by the Canadian Red Cross
to bring attention to the issue of bullying in
schools across the nation.
This was a great little feather in the hat of
principal Jim Gibbs (and his students), who
appeared in the short three-minute video
at the request of the students, a production
that can be seen as posted on the ESD’s
website.
“I was surprised that they came and asked
me to be in the video,” said a humble
Gibbs, adding with a chuckle that “The
sooner my career as an actor comes to an
end, the better it will be for everyone!”
106 Adams Blvd - OPEN HOUSE Sat. April 25 1:00-3:00pm
This 1285 sqft home has 3 bdrm, 1 bath with open concept living room/
kitchen as well as a 2nd family room and is the perfect place for beach
lovers. Just a 5 min walk to the beach and lots of country area to quad/
skidoo, this place has it all.
“I am never too busy for your referrals!”
2
On a more serious note, Gibbs said that he
agreed to be in the video to demonstrate
that it’s important to have an authority
figure involved, to show that someone is
listening if someone comes forward about
being bullied while at school.”

INTERLAKE
ENTERPRISE
When grade 8 student Matthew Lake heard
about the contest, he saw it as a great opportunity to combine his passion for filmmaking with the need to get an important
message out to students everywhere.
Lake himself is aware of this problem firsthand. He has been bullied and getting it to
stop for him happened after he approached
school staff members to seek help. For Lake,
that proved to be successful and he thinks
it can work for other students as well.
At the beginning of January 2015, Lake visited classrooms and asked who would like
to join the film club he wanted to form in
order to create the video. Eight other students volunteered to help and, six weeks
later, the finished project was submitted to
the Red Cross.
It is thus all the more impressive that the
school won, since this was the first year
that they participated in the contest, which
was created five years ago, according to
Gibbs.
The film club kids, along with staff members Principal Gibbs and Patricia Stouffer,
attended the awards ceremony at Park Theatre and heard special guests DJ Ace Burpee and former Blue Bomber Obby Kahn
speak, among others.
“I’m very proud of our group for what we
have accomplished and I’m happy we have
made something that can help other kids.
It’s fair to say it was the best day of my life
and I think the rest of the club feels that
way as well,” Lake concluded.

Wenzel is currently preparing for the Interlake Wave tour of more than 40 artists
which takes place each year in June and
September. He has already displayed his
work as part of a Wave exhibition at the
Winnipeg Art Gallery.
“If I ever get enough pieces, I’d like to
have my own show at the Wag,” he says.
According to Wenzel, it’s gratifying to
be an in-demand sculptor, but it’s not
a high paying job. His least profitable
work was his heavy 100-pound sculpture of a bear which a cheapskate admirer somehow stole from an Edmonton
art gallery.
“I’m re-creating the bear,” says the
sculptor who is amazed that the thief
escaped unnoticed.

Interlake B&Bs offer welcoming
destinations for travelers
By Michel Forest
bilities of this down-home alternative
to motels and hotels.
Now that the weather has finally broken, spring is here and that means
that the Interlake’s Bed and Breakfast
(B&Bs) homes are getting set to open
their doors to the travelling public.
“The traveler that stays in a B&B often
wants to be more closely connected to
the community that they are visiting,
even if it’s only for one night,” Martin
said.
“Bed and Breakfasts offer many interesting alternatives to travelers who
are in search of a different experience
when it comes to the hospitality aspect
of their travels,” said Bill Martin, president of the co-op organization Bed
and Breakfast Manitoba.
“These are the type of people who
want to know more about local history, get acquainted with the locals on
a more personal basis, and who are
often in search of a different experience,” Martin added.
Manitoba’s Interlake region has approximately half a dozen B&Bs,
spread out over an area that spans
from Stonewall in the west on over to
River Road near Selkirk (which of itself
has another half dozen B&Bs in its immediate vicinity) and all the way up
to ‘The Last Straw Bed and Breakfast,’
located north of Hecla in the vicinity
of Calders Dock.
In this regard, B&Bs attract what Travel
Manitoba would refer to as the ‘experiential and/or authentic traveler,’ the
kind of person that wants to go out and
do or see something out of the ordinary.
In addition to the above location, other B&Bs in the Interlake include:
• Solmundson Gesta Hus B&B and
Wellness Centre (Hecla Island)
• Bridgeview B&B (Selkirk)
• Evergreen Gate B&B (Selkirk)
• Harlequin House B&B (Selkirk)
• Skipper’s Lodge (Teulon)
“Our association has, year over year,
approximately 60 members, with
some new ones that join while others close their doors for various reasons, often retirement-related ones,”
explained Martin, who happens to be
owner of ‘The Last Straw B&B.’
According to Martin, the association
holds its members to very high standards in matters of cleanliness, safety,
comfort, aesthetic appeal, and so on.
Martin gives the example of his own
area, where he can point his guests
in the direction of nearby Matheson
Island, where the traveler will find an
authentic fishing community, and also
the Métis fishermen at Pine Dock, or
to the caves that dot the area’s littoral
biogeographical zone, having been
carved out of the eroding limestone in
the bay near Lake Winnipeg.
‘The Last Straw’ is one of a dozen or so Bed & Breakfasts
hat open their doors to travellers each year in the Interlake,
from Stonewall and Selkirk all the way up to Hecla and the
Calders Dock area on the shore of Lake Winnipeg.
“We have two conferences per year, at
which time sessions are given on the
hospitality industry’s standards, and all
member accommodations must pass
an inspection every three years on a
rotating basis to make sure that they
are upholding those standards,” Martin continued.
Martin was particularly pleased with
his association’s new green initiative
to be launched at its upcoming conference to be held April 25 in Brandon.

“Just like many hotel chains, our Gold
Key Program will involve ways to encourage low energy and water consumption, a linen and towel re-use
program, purchasing environmentally
sensitive items and also making sure
that several of these are biodegradable, among many other things that
we can do,” Martin said.
The concept of B&Bs is relatively new
to Manitoba and Canada, Martin explained, adding that it was people that
had gone to Europe in the 70s and 80s
who became intrigued by the possi-

“B&Bs don’t necessarily cost more
than a motel, but even if they do,
what they are able to offer is a very
high level of personalized service and
comfort, an excellent quality of food,
and many are a lot closer than Grand
Forks, for example, which make them
ideal for an overnight staycation or a
longer stay,” Martin concluded.

For this month’s column I would like to invite you
to an upcoming dinner event at my friend Colleen’s
restaurant in North Gimli. You may have read the
article on Paul’s Grill published in this newspaper
on April 1 (or always available online at http://enterprisenews.ca), and how a great lady is helping
continue the restaurant legacy of her former friend.
I recently enjoyed dinner with one of my close
friends at Paul’s Grill and very much enjoyed the
good food – especially the secretly spiced gravy,
cozy atmosphere, and impeccable service. Colleen
Swifte (Interlake Enterprise managing editor) and I
have collaborated for a couple of years now bringing you this monthly column after she wrote a front
cover story on my Healthy Chef restaurant during
the summer of 2013. Many of you have since visited my restaurant located at the Eriksdale Inn with
tremendous feedback, for which I thank you very
much.
I realize it can be a bit of drive to Eriksdale for some
east Interlake readers so now it’s time to bring it all
together and share the Healthy Chef experience
by bringing some of my own culinary creations to
north Gimli for a one evening event.

Selkirk Fishermen winless at Keystone Cup hockey tournament
This year’s Keystone Cup Canadian Junior ‘B’ Champions: the Campbell River Storm. For the second consecutive year,
the Selkirk Fishermen represented Manitoba at the April 16-19 tournament after having repeated as KJHL champions.
By Michel Forest
The Selkirk Fishermen, after having won
the Keystone Junior Hockey League
(KJHL) Championship vs the Peguis Juniors, travelled to Cold Lake, Alberta
to compete in the Keystone Cup Canadian Junior ‘B’ Hockey Championship
this past weekend.
Fish finish with 0-4-1 record after short
break from Peguis series
“Unfortunately, we were coming off the
heels of a hard-fought, seven-game series against the Peguis Juniors less than
a week previous to this tournament,
while most of the other teams that were
there had over a week to 10 days of
rest,” said Fishermen head coach Chris
Poponick.
As always, competition at the Keystone
Cup was again at a very high level this
year and the Fish only managed to tie
one (while losing the other four) of their
five round-robin games before returning home on Sunday.
One of their more lopsided losses came
at the hands of the hometown Cold
Lake Ice by a score of 10-0.
“Well, we had just finished playing
three games in just 30 hours after a
long bus ride, so that combined with
a home team crowd of 1,500 for Cold
Lake made it very difficult for us to
regain any momentum,” Poponick explained.
Other factors that make things very
challenging for the Manitoba Junior B
teams at the Keystone Cup is that they
are invariably playing against teams
that have a much larger pool of talent
to draw from (in Alberta and B.C.) as
well as having much bigger operating
budgets.
“For example, the champion Campbell River Storm has an annual budget
of $500,000, while ours is only $40,
000,” Poponick said. “You’re basically
talking about budgets that you would
normally find at the Junior A level,” he
added.
Despite all that, Poponick said that it
had once again (they were at the tournament that was held last year in Abbotsford, B.C.) been an honour to represent Selkirk and the province at the
Western Championship.
“Was I happy with the final result on
the ice? No,” Poponick flatly stated.
“But the effort from the team was a solid one, the guys gave up every ounce
of energy they had in spite of the very
tiring week before going to Cold Lake.”
Looking ahead to next season
When asked about what he thought
were the odds of his team going for a

in a row), Poponick was very optimistic
about the Fishermen’s chances.
“I think that it looks good for next year
even though we’ll be losing four or five
good players,” Poponick said, adding
that every year that kind of turnaround
is inevitable, especially as concerns the
older players.
“Four players for sure, since they’ll all
be 21 years of age: goalie Bretton Fewchuk, Cale McBride, who was our leading scorer this year, Cory Balcaen, and
captain Tanner MacVicar,” the coach
explained.
“We had some APs (alternate players)
along for the ride to Cold Lake and they
did get a chance to play, so some of
these young guys will probably be with
the Fishermen next year,” Poponick
concluded.
