Cuthbert spoke at length about the value of natural playgrounds, and their proven benefits to children’s mental health and learning. “Thank you Kiwanis. Not only will this playground benefit our school and our children, it will enhance the entire community,” Cuthbert noted. The slogan of Kiwanis International is ‘Serving the Children of the World’. One only has to glimpse at the organization’s many projects, locally and globally, to understand the gravity of their mission to help kids. Special guest John Collins, Kiwanis Governor for Western Canada, originally started in Kiwanis in 1978, saying it all started with a wish to do something different for the community. “Thirty-eight years later, I’m still doing it! The main focus of Kiwanis is children,” said Collins, who traveled from Thunder Bay Ontario with his wife to attend the gala. “Yesterday we made a quick side-trip to Brandon for the Kiwanis-sponsored Soapbox Derby, a fun event with 140 kids and cars competing! It’s events like that, that keep Kiwanis thriving.” Collins went on to say “The highlight of Kabaret night is meeting the Kiwanians themselves. These are the people who actually do all the work in the community... Kiwanis is all about camaraderie and helping. And after so many years, Kiwanis really feels like a big family.” This year’s Master of Ceremonies was Rod Hill, famous former Blue Bombers defenseman who now donates his time to visiting schools, connecting with kids, and discussing his highlights and challenges as a pro football player. Hill’s commen- The big giveaway of the evening was a Fly-In Fishing Trip to Sassaginnigak Lodge, donated by Karmen Johnson and Northway Aviation. As well the evening boasted a massive silent auction, which included a huge array of items, from a pressure washer to a limited edition RCMP print. Enterprise reporter Marlene Ness and Kabaret Master of Ceremonies Rod Hill, who was named Bombers’ all-time greatest defensive back by fans and two-time CFL All Star. Hill generously donated his time to MC this year’s Kiwanis Kabaret, livening up the evening with funny anecdotes on and off the football field. tary gave the Kabaret night a colorful and humorous spin, as he recounted his many life lessons on and off the football field. In attendance at the Kabaret were MP James Bezan, MLA Ralph Eichler and Gimli Mayor, Randy Woroniuk, who helped draw for a number of raffle prizes. Rosanna Cuthbert, principal of Sigurbjorg Steffansson Early School in Gimli, accepted a $5000 donation from Kiwanis for their Natural Playground project, which is to be the first in a series of five $5000 installments donated by Kiwanis over a five-year Musical entertainment was provided by Luke and Murray, Winnipeg’s premier two-man band, who have incredible harmony vocals and a wide range of tunes that got the Kiwanians grooving late into the night. Kiwanis raises approximately $20,000 per year from the highly popular Kabaret gala. “This money goes back into our community, to help children and fund important social programs,” said Terry Sehkon. “Groups like Aktion Club, K-Kids, Builders Club, and Key Club play a vital role in developing youth right here in our own schools and community.” “And-- what a wonderful reason to dress up in your fanciest clothes for a full night of entertainment!” Sehkon smiled. Continued from Front Drive on to obtain parts from Gimli Glider fuselage By Jim Mosher The Air Canada Boeing 767 glided into aviation history when it made an emergency landing in Gimli July 23, 1983. One of the newest planes in the commercial fleet at the time, it was among those that had shifted entirely to metric. The Edmonton-bound passenger plane didn’t have enough fuel to make it to the Manitoba capital due to a miscalculation of the fuel on board at the time of its departure from Montreal. until it was dismantled by Jet Midwest Co. in late-2014. Barb Gluck, chairman of the Gimli seawall artists’ committee, says aviation buff Anthony Walsh recently confirmed that $10,000 worth of the Gimli Glider’s certified remnants has been secured. The five pieces are on hold now but there is a time limit on that status. Gluck says: “It’s a very short timeframe.” “He has a personal interest in the fact that Canada should have Capt. Bob Pearson and co-pilot some of this story,” said Gluck of First Officer Maurice Quintal de- Walsh. “He said, ‘It’s our story.

It is presented by Esjan, the Arborg chapter of the Icelandic National League. A walk is also being held in Gimli on the same day, and in Winnipeg on June 20. It is important to note that there has been a change made in the starting location for Arborg’s walk. It was to begin at the Heritage Village, but the walking bridge across the river is not in place. Therefore the starting loca- tion will be at the Sundial, which is across the riverbank from the Heritage Village. It is on River road between David Street and Benson Street. Walkers will follow along River Road towards the river trail, and come back the same way ending back at the Sundial. motion of good health, and companionship. This year, women in Iceland are also walking on June 13. Kvennahlaup originated in Iceland in 1990, as a means to celebrate women. It is held annually in June as it was on June 19, 1915 that women in Iceland achieved the right to vote. The women’s wellness walk is open to all, and members of Esjan invite everyone to “Come walk with us.” Kvennahlaup is a time for women to gather in solidarity, for exercise, pro- There will be refreshments following the walk, along with a silver collection with proceeds being donated to Arborg Palliative Care.

One delegate — dog owner Jason Beck, champion of the drive to put the kibosh on the dog ban — is registered to speak as a delegation at 7:45 p.m. Randy Woroniuk’s ship is coming in. What remains to be seen is whether the ship is the Titanic or the QE II. The straight-talking Woroniuk, Gimli’s first-term mayor, elected by a slim margin last fall, is averse to bending to the will of vocal critics. And he has no plan to back down now, even as a robust social media campaign takes issue with a council decision to enforce a ban on dogs on the boardwalk and grassed areas at Gimli Beach. Beck has encouraged his followers to meet outside the Second Ave. municipal building at 6 p.m. Placards are welcome outside, but not inside chambers, he noted in a Facebook post. The mayor concedes that a council decision about the Gimli Beach dog ban is up in the air. “Each councillor is free to vote as they see fit,” he said. However, he noted that rescinding the two dog-related bylaws “does a whole lot of stuff.” The social media campaign, mostly on Facebook, has garnered closing in on 2,000 adherents. Comments cover the range from outrage to confusion. The top-of-mind question among many is: ‘Where did this boardwalk dog ban come from?’ The mayor has a ready answer. He says the decision was made two years ago when the then-council amended its bylaw focused on the popular, Lake Winnipeg swimming beach. It’s unclear precisely what the amendment entailed, but there are no direct references to dogs not being allowed on the boardwalk and grassed areas of Gimli Beach. Joann King, Gimli’s chief administrative officer, said the boardwalk ban was enforced last year. The ban only seems to have come to light this year after Woroniuk highlighted it in a Winnipeg Free Press story May 20. The story focused on Gimli’s looming designation as a Blue Flag beach. Critics of the dog ban note that neither the animal control bylaw nor the public beach regulations bylaw define what constitutes or demarcates ‘the beach’. That’s a problem, Woroniuk readily acknowledges. “There is some confusion there,” he said in an interview Monday evening. “We’re working on getting that cleared up.” In the absence of that clarification, opponents of the ban contend, enforcing a ban without precisely defining the beach is untenable, perhaps without legal weight. King says the intent of the amended Amending a bylaw requires a public hearing, one that would take at least two weeks to put together. Should an Gimli Mayor Randy Woroniuk will stick to his guns on dog ban. amendment be agreed upon, council would have to meet again for second and final reading. This could happen public beach regulations bylaw was of those who oppose the ban. should council call a special meetthat the boardwalk and grassed areas along the beach would be included “What you’re missing,” he said, “is ing, but that is rare and defeats the as part of Gimli Beach.

Evergreen School Board trustees voted 7-1 last Wednesday night to allow the distribution of Gideon bibles to grade five students in the division’s schools in Gimli, Arborg, Riverton and Winnipeg Beach. The motion, proposed by trustee Sandra Davies and seconded by trustee Cheryl Zelenitsky, reversed last month’s 4-3 vote to end the decades-long practice of permitting the Gideons to distribute bibles in the schools. The vote came late in the board’s regular meeting after trustees heard a presentation from a four-person delegation from the Interlake Gideon Chapter led by Dora and Menno Friesen. The Friesens cited the Gideon case for reinstating the bibles which are given out in school libraries or offices with the consent and approval of the students’ parents. “Without the bibles, a lot of parents may consider private schools or home schooling,” said Dora Friesen who is president of the Interlake Gideons. She also voiced the opinion that bibles help to reduce bullying. “The golden rule is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” she said. “If students lived by that, there would be no bullying which is a big topic in today’s schools.” Menno Friesen told trustees the bibles have been a help to troubled and suicidal students in the Interlake and northern communities. “They give meaning to life,” he said. “We distribute a small-sized edition of the new testament which students can keep in their backpacks and consult when they need help. We’ve noticed a big change in communities where bibles are available.” The Gideon case was also bolstered by three letters of support from Brad Harding, principal of Arborg Early Middle School, and groups of parents in Arborg and Riverton. When it came to voting on the motion, it was the turn of Trustee Jim Mosher to be the voice in the wilderness. After initiating the bible ban motion two meetings ago, Mosher was the only trustee who wanted to uphold it.. “We are a secular institution,” he said just before the latest count was taken. “There are many downsides to bringing religion into schools and we should not be identified with particular religious beliefs.” Mosher was also miffed at Arborg principal Harding for challenging the first decision of his employers. “It was totally inappropriate for an employee to do this, “ Mosher said. Trustees voting in favour of reinstating the bibles were Davies, Zelenitsky, board chair Ruth Ann Furgala, Penny RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF GIMLI INVITATION TO TENDER CLOSE DATE: MONDAY, JUNE 22, 2015 at NOON The Rural Municipality of Gimli is accepting tenders for the following: Ditching – Sandy Hook Drainage Project Sandy Hook Drainage Project requires the following work: • 4700 m of ditching & construction of 200 m of protective berm within sections 18, 17 & 8, TWP 18, Range 4E, located in Sandy Hook. Detailed Tender packages are available to interested bidders on the RM of Gimli website, www.gimli.ca , or at the Municipal Office between the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

Contractors must comply with the Municipal requirements for liability insurance, WCB coverage and business licensing to be eligible to be awarded the contract. Helgason, Gladys Kohler, Dianna Auer and Robert Arnason. The vote switched from 4-3 to 7-1 in four weeks because Davies and Auer were absent when the first vote was taken and Kohler and Arnason changed their votes this time. Mosher’s other supporter -Trustee Brent Johnson - was present at last Wednesday’s meeting but left early and missed the vote. Auer thought the bibles were “a great way for us to connect with that part of the community”. In similar vein, Zelenitsky said: “Distributing bibles in a public school building is not a big deal for me.” Furgala said Mosher’s motion reported in a newspaper article had been “ex- tremely hurtful” to residents in the north end of the division. She also said Evergreen is now open to considering requests from other religious groups who want to distribute literature in division schools.

Health care in the region is mired in a cycle of ongoing shortages and losses, from too few doctors and nurse practitioners to the hemorrhaging of paramedics to Winnipeg. It’s about money, lifestyle and, in the case of doctors, a need for the professional mentoring available in big-city clinics and large medical practices. That’s part of the take-away after a frank presentation to Gimli council by Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (IERHA) chief executive officer Ron Van Denakker May 27. Emergency rooms closed because doctors decline to staff them. Nurse-managed care too often the only resort. Ill people sent to other hospitals on their own steam or by ambulance. A shortage of nurse practitioners. A desperate shortage of doctors. The challenges in the region are many, Van Denakker said during what was to have been something of a meet-andgreet. It was much more. Van wasn’t pulling any punches, occasionally letting his guard down as he limned the challenges he and the health authority he leads face. It ain’t pretty. IEHRA was formed of the merger of the former Eastman and Interlake health authorities. There are more than 124,000 people in the 61,000-sq.-km region served by IERHA. The health authority employs 3,100 people. There are 10 hospitals, 16 primary care sites, a Quick Care clinic in Selkirk, six dialysis sites and 19 EMS stations in the sprawling region. The region suffers from a chronic shortage of acute care beds because, says Van Denakker, more than half the beds are taken up by people who have been paneled to be placed in nursing care homes. But, once again, there are too few spots open in personal care homes. As pressing is the perennial shortage of physicians. He said across the region, “We’re 17 doctors down from what we need to meet what we consider to be our minimum number. If 25 doctors were to show up, we would hire them all.” Problem is, most doctors want a fee-forservice deal, such agreements are far more lucrative in larger centres. “They don’t want to be on contract because they’d probably do better on fee-for-service,” Van Denakker said. Deputy mayor Peter Peiluck, who chaired the meeting in the absence of Mayor Randy Woroniuk, pressed Van Denakker. “So you said you have enough money to hire 25 doctors,” Peiluck said. “We’ve been complaining about this for years but they’re still not coming. So let’s face it: we’re lucky we have what we have. Why don’t you offer them more money? There’s a supply-and-demand in every business. Why not have 15 doctors at a higher rate of pay? If we get one [from those hired across the region], we’re happy.” Van Denakker noted that doctors are independent practitioners. “They don’t work for us,” he said. “Even though we have a contract with them, that contract means privileges within our facilities and we can guarantee them that money — it’s called ‘medical remuneration’. Medical remuneration is money in our global budget that, if we don’t use it, it gets clawed back.” In the end, said Van Denakker, “They [doctors] don’t want medicine to be their life. They want medicine to be their career. They want to be part of larger-practice groups.” CASHIER/GROCERY/CLERK – CASUAL/PART TIME The Riverton COOP is seeking Cashier/Grocery/Stock Clerk that can work a variety of shifts (hours may vary according to operations as per the request of the Grocery Manager, that include; days, evenings and weekends.

Applications are available at the Riverton Coop. There are stop-gaps to address doctor shortages, including an incentive program for international medical graduates (IMGs). “We hope they (IMGs) plant their roots in the community but history tells us that doesn’t happen,” said Van Denakker. “Let’s have a conversation about doctors,” the health authority boss said near the close of his presentation. “Let’s take it offline into a meeting with a group of folks, including Dr. Myron Thiessen, our chief medical officer.” “I think council would welcome that meeting,” Peiluck said. “We want to work with you to find a solution.” Viking Statue work limited to iconic character: Gimli mayor By Jim Mosher “The contract was only for the statue itself,” the mayor said in a telephone No one ever said the refurbishment interview Monday. “The top portion of the $60,000 Viking Statue was is what was done. The statue had to anything more than a make-over of be replicated the way it was.” the fiberglass statue itself, according The fieldstone immediately beneath the Gimli Mayor Randy Woroniuk. the statute and the deep cement The base and foundation upon which foundation need work, but that was the statue stands are separate proj- not part of the contracted work, the ects, he noted. mayor says. Concerns about the quality and scope of the work on the 48-year-old statue emerged at a regular meeting of council May 27. Coun. Richard Petrowski was unhappy with the job. His colleagues agreed to defer payment of a bill to Palcoprep Inc., the Alberta-based company that undertook the statue restoration. Riverton Coop – EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY “It has to be done because the stones are loose,” Woroniuk said of the fieldstone base. “That fieldstone is just a façade. It really adds no structural integrity to the statue itself — or very little.” The mayor says, while the additional work was not anticipated in this year’s municipal budget, council may Mayor Woroniuk, who did not at- be able to free up some money to adtend the meeting two weeks ago, dress concerns about the foundation says he’s surprised that there would of Gimli’s iconic Viking. be any confusion about the scope of the work.
