A poor farmer and his son lived alone on a farm. They only had one horse. One day, someone left the stable gate unlocked, and their only horse ran away. People from the nearby village visited the farmer and said: “This is terrible news. You are now destitute.” The farmer said, “Who’s to say what’s good or bad?

It wasn’t that I didn’t have more traditional lifestyle choices, but I found that the benefits of homesteading and the offthe-grid philosophy were too plentiful to ignore: from financial to environmental to simply gaining the peace of mind that I’m independent. I relish the idea of not having to rely on public utilities or having to run to the grocery store every single time I need food. A Small, Real-Life Off-the-Grid Triumph One huge benefit of being off the grid was driven home this past weekend, during the Victoria Day weekend blizzard. I’m currently running on a generator/solar panel combination to power my small RV. When the big storm hit on Sunday, I didn’t think a lot about it, other than, “Boy this is nasty weather!” However, I found out the next day that the nearby town of Winnipeg Beach had been without power for 14 to 16 hours. When I heard this news, I admit — I felt a small surge of satisfaction in my chest. I’m outside that whole system. And I weathered the storm. Truth be told, I’ve never considered myself the “homesteading type”; but I can think outside the box, and when I realistically weighed all the pros and cons of an alternative off-the-grid lifestyle, I found the only thing really stopping me was fear of the unknown, and perhaps a limited understanding of alternative energy systems and building systems. But hey… I’m willing to learn! (and document my journey as I go along). There’s an old saying: “The map is not the territory”; meaning, don’t confuse the symbols, the signs and the interpretation of your route, with the actual experience itself. Homesteading is the return to something real; I don’t know how better to describe it. The homesteading mindset, although unconventional, is slowly gaining a footIt’s not just a crazy dream, I thought. It is hold in many circles. Look no further For me the decision to ‘go off the grid’ possible. Not easy, but possible. than here in the Interlake. was one that sprang from numerous mo- Lo and behold, the next day, their horse returned, leading five majestic stallions behind him back into the stable. Everyone from the village came by to admire the new horses, saying, “You are so lucky! Look at these wonderful horses.” The farmer said, “Who is to say what’s lucky or unlucky? That’s a matter of opinion. Let’s see what happens.” The next day, his only son — who was understandably excited about the new horses — decided to try riding one of these stallions, fell off and broke his leg. All the villagers exclaimed, “That’s unfortunate —we’re so sorry!” The farmer said, “Who’s to say good luck or bad luck? Let’s see what happens.” The next day, the king’s army came to town and enlisted all able-bodied males in the village to go off and fight on certain mission in which certainly all the soldiers were doomed to die. All the villagers said to the farmer: “You’re so lucky that your son doesn’t have to go on this suicide mission.” The farmer said, “Lucky or unlucky? We’ll see what happens.” A week later the army of men returned from the battle — victorious. Not only weren’t the men killed, but they’d each been awarded a million dollars in gold for their bravery! The villagers said to the farmer, “What horrible luck. Everyone in town is a millionaire now, except for you.” The farmer again shrugged and said, “Good luck, bad luck … just a matter of opinion.” The next day an aggressive, rival army descended on the village. Everyone in town who had gold was immediately slaughtered. And on that day, no one came to visit the farmer, to tell him how lucky — or unlucky — he was. 6 May 20, 2015The INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE Water infrastructure options for Gimli limited: public works chair By Jim Mosher Pressed by the provincial government to meet stringent water treatment regulations, Gimli has made a ProvincialTerritorial Infrastructure Component Application to upgrade its water treatment processes. If approved, infrastructure funding from the provincial and federal governments will defray two-thirds of the $4-million projected cost of water treatment upgrades. Danny Luprypa, Gimli’s long-time public works chairman, says that’s putting the cart before the horse. Instead, he says investing in the repair of the municipality’s water lines should be a first priority. Luprypa made his views clear last week when he raised concerns about the plan to improve Gimli’s water treatment, even though tests of the quality of the water coming from the plant have always been above guidelines set down by the province. “I oppose their position in their direction,” he said of the provincial push to ensure all water treatment plants meet the new guidelines. “They’re forcing us to comply with an issue we don’t have.” He says Gimli’s water treatment plant has not failed since 1957. Gimli’s water is the envy of other communities, he said. “The water lines in town are crumbling,” Luprypa said during a regular meeting May 13. “That should be addressed first.” “We all agree with you,” said deputy mayor Peter Peiluck. “That money could be better spent somewhere else. But what are we going to do?” The province had initially insisted that a reservoir be built to ensure there was added contact time with chlorine, used to disinfect water. The province may relent if it agrees with a Gimli consultant that the increased contact time can be achieved with the addition of a second water pumping sta- Danny Luprypa, Gimli’s long-time tion. (The cost of a water reservoir public works chair, says repair of would have run to $6 million, it had the town’s crumbling water lines been previously projected.) should be a first priority. “By having a long supply line and rechlorinating at two distant locations, Gimli can achieve the potable water requirements for ‘killing’ pathogens in the water prior to supply to homes. This project will help to meet provincial and federal safe drinking water requirements for chlorine contact times,” project engineer Dick Menon states in an application to the CanadaManitoba Infrastructure Secretariat.

Engineering the Is a f corpora The pair — Lea Productions and Baza Productions were among eight GHS teams participating in the first contest to introduce the school’s students to filmmaking while simultaneously collecting historical footage of the ice festival. The winning teams were honoured for their efforts last Wednesday morning at an assembly of their fellow students in the Gimli High gymnasium. Handing out the prizes were representatives of the contest’s three partners — Peter and Susan Holfeuer of the ice festival, Leona Johnson of the Gimli Film Festival and teachers Linda Arnason and Anders Kuusselka from the high school. Also on hand to support the young filmmakers was Councillor Thora Palson of the RM of Gimli. The two teams evenly split $400 in prize money from the ice festival and received merchandise packages and a promise that their films will screened this summer at the 15th annual Gimli Film Festival running from July 21-26.

Teegan Walker, now at Brandon University, was recently chosen from musicians across the country to play in the Ottawa Youth Jazz Summit Band at the large annual festival running from June 21-July 1 in the nation’s capital. He plays everywhere from Brandon bars and private cocktail parties to major appearances with the university’s big band at the Brandon Jazz Festival at the Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium. He’s also played at the Icelandic Festival’s Jazz at the Rooftop concert and headed down the road to Winnipeg for musical engagements at the West End Cultural Centre and the new human rights museum. He has been told by festival organizers that he will be the only alto saxophonist in a nine-piece ensemble that also includes two tenor saxophones, a trombone, trumpet, guitar, piano, bass and drums. All the musicians are between 18 and 25 years old. “I learned about the Ottawa band competition through a poster at school and I was selected after sending in recordings of my playing,” the 22-year-old Walker said during a recent visit to Gimli. Winning the Ottawa gig is the latest highlight in the career of the young musician who also received a scholarship from Gimli’s Westshore Foundation to help defray the costs of his university education. He started off at Gimli’s Dr. George Johnson Middle School where he knew he wanted to play saxophone at age 12 but was required by the music program to begin on clarinet. “I made the switch in grade seven,” recalls Walker who developed his musical skills under teachers Heather Clarke at George Johnson and Mike Cherlet at teach music at the university level.” This is not to say that music is the only dimension in his life. He likes running, played soccer for years and made the volleyball team at Gimli High. News Tips?

They heard Handi-Van President Doug Kozlowski say that the service makes 11,000 trips a year to transport citizens with disabilities and mobility problems in Gimli, Winnipeg Beach, Dunnottar and parts of the municipalities of Armstrong and St. Andrews. He also said the new wheelchair-equipped van replaces a little-used,12-year-old passenger bus and gives the service an efficient fleet of three wheelchair-equipped vehicles. “With this acquisition, we anticipate our three vehicles will get much more use,” Kozlowski told the press conference. Celebrating the acquisition of a new Eastern Interlake Handi-Van were, left to right, driver Ernie Webber, Drew Caldwell, James Bezan, Doug Koslowski, Peter Peiluck and Jeff Wharton. Kozlowski, the Handi-Van chair, said all three levels of government supported the purchase of the new vehicle. Bezan spoke first probably because the federal government contributed $25,556 of the $35,000 vehicle cost. “We are pleased to provide help for people to travel more safely around their communities,” the federal MP said. “This mode of transportation ensures citizens with mobility issues can continue to have active lives and participate in community affairs.” Saturday 9-2 40% OFF Screen Roller Shades Monday - Friday 9-5 The INTERLAKE ENT “A partnership of all three levels is the way to get things done,” he said.

By Marlene Ness Gouran allowed two of her aggressive, recently adopted dogs to run at large and attack a child, resulting in the euthanization of both dogs. For two tiny, orphaned kittens discovered in a Matlock crawlspace May 10, this past Mother’s Day held a special stroke of maternal magic and human caring, thanks to Pawed Pals Animal Rescue. The newborn litter was approximately 48 hours old at the time of rescue; one of the three kittens had already died by the time the Pawed Pals arrived, and the remaining two — Lil Red (the orange) and Maize (the black and white) — were cold and lethargic when collected. With the help of some warm kitten milk and gently heated oat bags, volunteers revived the kittens and successfully matched them to a nursing mother cat named Holly, also under Pawed Pals care in a foster home in Selkirk with her own litter of five-week-old kittens. Mama cat Holly, accepted the newborns immediately, creating an instant two-tiered family — a fitting testament to maternal instinct in animals. This touching story could end here. Sadly, that wouldn’t be an accurate picture of reality for stray animals in the Interlake. The above story is a rare exception to how most stray or feral cats (and sometimes dogs) end up in our communities. In truth, the majority of homeless and feral cats lead miserable lives, fighting starvation and frost-bite through winter; even those ‘lucky’ animals that are trapped and picked up by animal control, risk a high chance of being euthanized if taken to Winnipeg Humane Society. “The stark reality of the current stray and feral cat population in the Interlake is that it’s escalated to a nearcrisis point,” states Veronica Walsh, chairman of Pawed Pals. “When numbers get out of hand, municipalities often are forced to take a ‘culling approach’ which is both inhumane and short-sighted. Often well-intentioned people who find strays have no clue whom to call for help, or are apprehensive to call animal-control for fear the animals will be put down.” A Valid Concern For many rural municipalities in the Interlake, the policy of animal control is to take stray animals to Winnipeg, where they generally are turned over to the Winnipeg Humane Society, whose numbers for euthanization are on the steady incline. Lynda Blackburde, founder of Pawed Pals, stated: “I don’t like giving people the false impression that ‘If you When questioned by the Enterprise about what regulations are currently in place for rescue groups, Walsh said, “At this time there is no regulatory body, but there are groups looking into that. We know how critical it is.” Lil Red (above) and Maize (below right) kittens are mothered by Mama and her own litter. take a healthy animal to the humane society, there’s a good chance it’ll get adopted out.’ Last year, the Winnipeg Humane Society euthanized close to 2,500 animals — many of them perfectly healthy and adoptable. So, in fact, if you surrender a cat, there’s an equal or better chance the animal will get destroyed.” burde, “because you go and lobby, but it’s very difficult to convince municipalities to change their attitudes.” Walsh added that due to being overwhelmed by cat requests, Pawed Pals recently had to make the tough decision to narrow its focus on a smaller geographical area, concentrating their efforts exclusively on Selkirk, St Blackburde added that there are also Clements and St Andrews. numerous Winnipeg-based no-kill shelters and rescue agencies that do “Trying to reduce the current stray cat exist, but these organizations are al- population is analogous to attemptways over capacity and turn away far ing to stop a raging flood: it has no more animals than they can take in. effect to place one sandbag here and there along the river, every few miles.

Mc- Walsh also explained that in screening foster homes, it can be extremely difficult and that there is always a degree of human error. “We’re all human beings, and we all can be fooled. You really have to look overall at the work a rescue organization does and say: how many good decisions have we made, in comparison to how many wrong decisions? How many animals have we helped overall? We look at ways to reduce the potential for harm.” The volume of homeless animals that need to be fostered or adopted is always highly disproportionate to the number of available foster homes. Not everyone can be in a position to foster, and plainly there are people in this world who simply should not. Walsh concluded: “Spay and neuter is the answer. Removing animals here and there is just a Band-Aid fix, and you need to look at the bigger picture. People are afraid to use the system that is in place, sometimes for fear of outcome. The only way to change attitudes long term is a better network of communication between rescue groups, and getting the municipalities on board.” Blackburde added that without intervention, the two Mother’s Day kittens, as well as Holly the mama cat and her three kittens, would likely have perished. “There are just so many more,” Walsh said. 10 May 20, 2015The INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE HEALTH & WELLNESS we l l be i n g Treating Allergies Naturally Allergy Season is upon us! How many of you are experiencing itchy watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, clogged sinuses, headaches…. ??? By Dr. Mary Anne Hembroff BSc., ND. At this time of year, suffers are usually reacting to trees or grasses, and then ragweed allergies pop up in August until the first frost. As Naturopathic Doctors, there are many things we can do to significantly reduce or eliminate seasonal allergies. By treating the ROOT cause of someone’s allergies, we can eliminate them for life, without the need to manage symptoms. Newer research has proven what naturopathic medicine has been basing treatments on for years. The bacteria in our mothers gastrointestinal system strongly predicts our likelihood of getting allergies, asthma and eczema. That is why we always start our investigation in the gastrointestinal system. Restoring gastrointestinal health by identifying food sensitivities, ensuring digestion and absorption are optimal, are fundamental steps in reducing the immune systems response to allergies. These hypersensitive immune reactions can be reduced significantly by looking at what we eat and drink. What to eat?

Fish is also a great anti-inflammatory as it is high in omega 3 fats, just make sure the mercury content is not too high. Avoiding dairy products is very helpful in reducing mucus production and inflammation in the body. What to drink? - Green Tea is a great anti-oxidant to include! - 1 tsp – 1 tbsp of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother in it) in a glass of water 3x per day. This helps decrease mucus production. And plenty of water helps flush out the histamines from the body. Great tips to keep pollens to a minimum: 1.) Use your air conditioning and keeping the windows in your house and car closed. 2.) Use a Hepa Filter on your furnace, and change frequently. 3.) Stay in indoors: - between 5am and 10am when pollen is most commonly released - when pollen count is high - on windy days All these are great tips to get your allergy season off to a good start, and visit a Naturopathic Doctor to find out how you can improve your health and say goodbye to allergies!

When my mom’s dementia became severe she frequently stripped off her clothes. Fortunately, I discovered anti-strip underwear which allowed her to wear her own clothes and also protected her dignity. I recently visited the Adaptive Clothing Store at 1320 Portage Ave. In my experience they have quality adaptive clothing for seniors and are extremely helpful. I invited them to share information with us. Adaptive Clothing Store in Winnipeg Adaptive Clothing is a relatively new term, that’s why you’ve probably never heard of it. So what is it? Adaptive Clothing is medical device that is specifically designed to aid the dressing process for people with limited mobility. Adaptive Clothing simplifies the process of putting on and taking off clothes for both staff and patients, relieves stress and anxiety levels associated with the process as well as shortens the time of the procedures. Due to Adaptive Clothing being a medical device, the purchases are Tax Exempt if a doctor’s prescription is present. The following are the examples of the features unique to Adaptive Clothing. We can also carry wrap-around skirts and Mentioned in last month’s article, I am adding a new twist to the Healthy Chef Column. The column will have a focus on the healthy mind, and the connection with the food your body and mind, need for nourishment. First off, I would like to say anything is possible. And now science can prove or negate it! Did you know that there are people living on our planet that live solely off of air, termed Breatharians, scientists have researched and tried to figure out how this was possible. They really couldn’t pin point how and were shocked after the inconclusiveness of their studies. Many people have died trying this way of life, so very few people are actually able to adapt to living this way. The sacred Hindu texts speak of a Breatharian diet as living off Prana (Sanskrit word for “life force”). Practising this type of diet renders your food intake to zero, so I wondered how one man in Sri Lanka man named Kirby De Lanerolle won a marathon living only on water for 3 months. And an 80 year old man Prahlad Jani, in my parent’s home state of Gujarat, India, claims to have not lived off food for almost 70 years. Sci- Adaptive Clothing Store Manager Another unique feature of Adaptive Clothing that comes usually without mentioning is the material that garments are made out of. Majority of our clients reside in personal care facilities, meaning that their clothing will be washed in the industrial machines using high temperature and harsh detergents. A regular garment will not withstand that and Adaptive Clothing will. Special designs will hold its shape and will not deteriorate and color pallet will remain vibrant longer as well. There can be a lot more said about adaptive clothing but it is best to see it with your own eyes to understand its benefits and feel the difference for yourself. We invite anyone who would like to learn more about Adaptive Clothing to stop by our store located at 1320 Portage Avenue, where our friendly staff will educate you and help you select the right option for your loved one if necessary. Our Spring Summer 2015 collection is already here, so there is no better time to stop by then now! By Syamal Patel, www.healthy-chef.ca entists observed and recorded Jani for 2 weeks around the clock, taking tests trying to figure out how this was possible. They are still shocked, and can’t realize how this is possible. Incredible, so you must agree with me, anything must be possible! That Guru and the Charity Founder/Marathon Winner both have a belief that it is possible. They both claim to be living off a spiritual force. Their thoughts are making this possible. They have an idea that this works, so they continued to believe, and this led them to making it work. Belief is dictating their survival, leading them to their life goals, as it is yours. The first step to a healthy mind is healthy beliefs.

The Interlake riding MLA was one of a handful of new Cabinet ministers appointed by Premier Greg Selinger in a shuffle just four days before. Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Tom Nevakshonoff, long-time Interlake riding MLA, listens to concerns of Bifrost-Riverton council in January. He’s concerned that his recent appointment to Cabinet may have an impact on his constituency work, though he says he’ll work to find a balance. More than a dozen briefings with his staff the day after his appointment, the rapid pace of his first Cabinet meeting, fielding his first question in the legislature. promoting them as a best means of protecting environmental assets, such as waterways, the land and air. “It’s just been a whirlwind,” Nevakshonoff said in a telephone interview from his office under the Broadway dome. “You can certainly see the value of being in Cabinet. A lot of the issues [discussed at the Cabinet table] don’t even come to the caucus at all.” It may be surprising that, after 16 straight years on the backbench, Selinger would touch Nevakshonoff for Cabinet. Nevakshonoff, after all, supported Steve Ashton then Theresa Oswald before Selinger’s second-ballot win in a leadership contest. But Nevakshonoff has no doubts the rifts among party faithful have been healed. Learning the ropes and getting used to the frenetic pace of being in Cabinet will require focus and more than a few late days. And he way have to say goodbye to those summer days he may have hoped for. The current Legislative session may stretch well into the summer. Used to being available to his riding’s constituents and being home in Poplarfield weekends will have to change. Inquiries made of the minister are vetted by staff before wending their way to the person in the big chair. “It [the ministerial position] has kind of disengaged me from my constituency office a little bit, which is a concern to me,” Nevakshonoff said. “I’m just trying to get in sync here with having gatekeepers all of a sudden, when up until now I would take all my phone calls. But once you’re in this office, that doesn’t quite work. So that’s taking a little bit of adjustment.” While his riding focus has been infrastructure improvements to major roads, Cabinet arrivals and departure change political landscape in the Interlake By Jim Mosher camps.” Interlake riding MLA Tom Nevakshonoff says the wounds opened during a divisive public flogging of Premier Greg Selinger have now healed. Two months after the dust settled, the premier appointed Nevakshonoff minister of Conservation and Water Stewardship. Nevakshonoff had supported Ashton in the first ballot, then moved to the Oswald camp for the second ballot. The acrimony among some members of the governing NDP burst forth into the public sphere last fall when five MLAs left their Cabinet posts citing concerns about the premier’s leadership. The departure of the Gang of Five, as they became known, was the subject of relentless media scrutiny, eventually culminating in a leadership contest March 8. In what was hardly a ringing endorsement, the premier prevailed in the threeway contest, defeating Theresa Oswald with a slim 33-vote margin in the second ballot. Steve Ashton placed third in the first ballot. In January, almost two months before the leadership contest, Nevakshonoff said he supported Ashton. “There’s a lot of strife amidst all of this,” Nevakshonoff said in an interview at the time. “There are two camps that are diametrically opposed to one other. And there’s only one of the three people who can unite the party; that’s Steve Ashton. He’s somebody all of us can rally behind. In a sense, he’s the compromise between the two opposing One would have thought Nevakshonoff, who has languished in the backbenches for his entire 16 consecutive years as MLA, would have been passed over for Cabinet yet again, particularly given his support for Ashton, then his second-ballot support for Oswald. Nevakshonoff now sees the premier in what seems a different light. “I really want to express my genuine appreciation to the premier for showing this confidence in me,” Nevakshonoff said of his appointment to Cabinet. “He and I haven’t always agreed in times past. But I don’t think he wants to surround himself with people who just agree with him.” “This is a real, sincere gesture on his part in regard to reconciliation. I think he’s genuine about that. And I think that process is complete. I certainly feel, from my perspective, that it’s complete. So onward and upward.” drains and such, he’s quite happy to move into a portfolio that brings in a range of other long-time interests. He’s an outdoorsman, who spent many summers as a youngster working at his father’s northern outfitters lodge. “It is the exact department I always aspired to,” he said during our wideranging interview, if one cut short by yet another looming meeting. “I love the infrastructure, as well. But I’m extremely happy to see Steve Ashton resume that position because we’ve got some big infrastructure challenges: of the course the secondary outlet from Lake Manitoba.” “For me, Conservation-Water Stewardship, which includes environment, this is in my wheelhouse, Being a hunter myself, master angler, farmer — this is the type of experience this particular ministry needs.” In the years before Interlake conservation districts formed in the West and East Interlake, Nevakshonoff was tireless in He credits his political mentor, former premier and Governor General Ed Schreyer, as the man who introduced the conservation concept to government and the wider public. “This concept was the creation of the Rt. Hon. Ed Schreyer back in 1974,” Nevakshonoff stressed. “He was a man of great wisdom. That was one of the great motivators for me.” “I think we’ve more than doubled the number of CDs now,” he continued. “The nice thing about the CDs is that they bring people from the local level into the picture.” “This department is a good fit for me,” Nevakshonoff concluded. “We’d like to think of water management rather than drainage. That old adage comes to mind where you ‘Drain, drain, drain; put in the crops; and pray for rain.’ Just drainage is not the answer. You have to look at it comprehensively: staged release of water, retention and restoration of wetlands, as well.” Town of Winnipeg Beach 29 Robinson Avenue P.O.

After a while in Winnipeg, we moved out to Gimli because we prefer small towns.” While director Smith is relatively new, the choir and several musical guests will stick to the usual spring format of presenting two concerts in Gimli and one in either Arborg or Riverton. Now they are settled in suburban Siglavik where they sail their 27-foot boat when they are not building a new home. They are doing most of the house by themselves with some help from friends, a son-in-law to-be and the odd trades person. This year Riverton has been chosen for the first concert Fri., May 29 at 7 p.m. while Gimli Lutheran Church will be the venue for the other two performances Sun., May 31 at 2:30 p.m. and Mon., June 1 at 7:30 p.m. “We’ve found a community of like-minded people in Gimli,” Muriel says. “We’ve discovered that Gimli residents are open and sharing people who come from a lot of different places and all walks of life.” The spring shows kick off a new year of performances for the Westshore group which also schedules three pre-Christmas shows in December and entertains residents at Gimli’s Betel Home.

Your Source for Community News – Locally Owned and Produced INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE May 20, 2015 19 A-Spire marks anniversary with more summer plays By Roger Newman Productions; July 3-5 — “Mittel Schmerz” (middle pain) a solo performance by Kim Zeglinski; July 10-12 — “Dead Winter”, “Live at the Studio” by Dennis Thornton presented by Marketplace Players; and July 31-Aug.2 — “A Song at Twilight” by Noel Coward presented by Dramatic Theatre. Gimli’s A-Spire Players will present the largest-ever line-up of plays when the group’s 10th anniversary season of live summer theatre kicks off in early June. A dozen theatre companies from Gimli, Winnipeg and other Manitoba communities will perform at the A-Spire Theatre on weekends from early June until the September long weekend. The program continues Aug. 14-16 with a double bill: “Over The Teacups” staged by Marketplace Players and “Last Night of the World” by Mike Secombe presented by Darkhorse Theatre. “This year’s line-up offers shows for the tastes of all theatre lovers,” says Ashley Tupper, the A-Spire group’s summer program coordinator and secretary. “There will be comedies, dramas, improv, solo shows and more. Live theatre is a great way to spend an evening and we hope to welcome all our regular theatre-goers along with lots of new faces.” More than 1,000 patrons normally attend the summer plays in the compact 80-seat A-Spire Theatre in the Gimli Unitarian Church on Second Ave. This year, they will have their first opportunity on the June 5-7 weekend when the A-Spire Players open the season with “The Tomorrow Box”, a drama with light moments by veteran Canadian playwright Anne Chislett. Pat Thullner is directing the Chislett play about an Ontario farmer who decides to retire in Florida and gets into trouble when he sells the farm without telling his wife. This sparks a family crisis involving a wife reluctant to move and the couple’s children in a plot that takes several turns. Bringing the story to life are the cast of Tupper, Rob Jantz, Rose Flaig, Linda Arnason and Stewart Campbell. Another A-Spire production will grace the stage for Friday-Saturday shows on June 12-13 before local actors turn over A wife played by Sarah Chapnick comforts an upset husband portrayed by Larry Burdeny in the comedy “Such A Nice Little Kity”. the stage to out-of-town groups. This second A-Spire show is “Such a Nice Little Kitty”, a Pat Cook comedy about a man being driven mad by a screeching cat to the dismay of an increasingly distraught wife and a policeman. Larry Burdeny, Sarah Chapnick and Colin Welch star in ‘Kitty’ which is part of a twin bill with the A-Spire’s improv group “Wisecracks” led by Joachim DeSmedt. The third weekend from June 19-21 will feature Winnipeg’s Shoestring Players, a group almost local because it has been coming to Gimli for a decade. Familiar faces such as Peter Hudson, Maureen Taggart, Brenda Born,Carol Stephens and Pe- ter Spencer are almost certain to be on hand for Shoestring’s production of “Mr. Flannery’s Ocean”, a touching drama by Lewis John Carlino. Unless otherwise noted, all performances during the summer are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2:30 p.m. Dates for the rest of the shows are: June 26-28 — “Alternatives” by Drew Hayden Taylor presented by Postage Stamp Next up Aug. 21-23 is “Thera Groupathy” by Christine Hallick presented by Broken Record Productions; followed Aug. 28-30 by “A Marriage Proposal” by Anton Chekov from Merlyn Productions; then Aug. 28-30 by”Skirmishes” by Catherine Hayes from R-G Productions. Bringing down the curtain on the season from Sept. 4-6 will be “Mission Potluck Collectively” staged by Winnipeg’s One Trunk Theatre. This company’s leading light is actor, author, producer Andrea Sartison whose play “Dream Diesel” was presented this past winter by Theatre Projects Manitoba. Tickets for all shows will be available at Tergesen’s one week before the performances and can be reserved at 204-6428079. TOPIGS Canada Inc.
