The Terry Jacks popular song hit of the early 1970s will echo through the evening at the council’s fundraising dinner and fashion show which takes place Thurs., May 14 starting at 5.30 p.m. at Gimli’s Marjorie Marks, Terry Dahl and Valerie Swanson, Lakeview Resort.

The fashions for all seasons - worn by 20 models - are being supplied by Johnsons with Kim Magnusson as show commentator. “There will also be a fabulous meal with door prizes, raffle draws and a silent auction,” Swanson said, adding that tickets are available at Johnsons, Tergesens and the council office in the Gimli Health Centre. “It will be a great girls’ night out with wine and socializing - and men are welcome too.” Harbour authority eliminates two council seats on board By Jim Mosher GHA citing, Goodman states, that RM policy is that its members not Representatives of Gimli council sit on the boards of private corpowill no longer have a seat at the rations. table when the board of the Gimli Harbour Authority (GHA) meets. “Although the board of directors of the GHA greatly appreciates Gimli council had appointed the interest of the RM of Gimli in councillors Danny Luprypa and our operations, the RM of Gimli Thora Palson to the board.

Website: www.enterprisenews.ca By Jim Mosher 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. What should be a concern is that the Council conducted a hearing into the process set down by its own bylaw vicious attack when it met in special was not followed by Gimli council. session April 7, then decided the following day at a regular meeting to Process is an important part of efeuthanize the dogs Bella, one year fective, transparent and accountable old, and Peanut, two.

Had the meeting been conducted On the face of it, all of this may seem during a regular meeting, reporters a fine point. After all, it seems, no one who regularly attend such meetings disputes the facts.

GEAC Community Gardens registration/meeting April 29, 7:00 pm, RM of Gimli Multi-Purpose Bldg., 17B N Colonization Rd. For further information call Gail, 642-7438 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?

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.” Students from grades 5-8 form film club for contest 43 MAIN STREET SELKIRK November 5, 2014The 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.

Engineer- 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.

Meanwhile, play started Friday at Gimli’s Links at the Lake Course. That was one day before the spring open house at the Links clubhouse just north of town. Many golfers turned up Saturday to sign up for leagues and other activities, take advantage of specials and tee-up in plus-20 weather. “It’s not often our course is open before the open house,” beamed Director of Golf Operations Al Scott who was delighted with the early start.

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. Hecla Island Solmundson Gesta Hus B&B and Wellness Centre Email: hecla@mts.net “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- Selkirk Bridgeview B&B Phone: (204) 482-7892 “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 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 KJHL ‘threepeat’ (three championships Looking for good people in all Departments. Food and Beverage, Kitchen and Housekeeping. Apply to mlazer@lakeviewresorts.com 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.
