Aurora hosts ‘sneak preview’
of Gimli addictions recovery centre
By Jim Mosher
treatment for addictions but cannot
afford the service.
Ian Rabb is rarely slow in coming
forward about his personal struggle
with addictions. He landed hard,
as addictions to drugs and alcohol,
for a time, got the better of him.
While the 2010-14 Gimli council
did take some issue with the centre, initially proposed in the fall of
2013, it came around — perhaps
recognizing the economic value of
Aurora’s $14.3-million investment
in the community. Council gave
the project the green light in February 2014, after significant support
from its citizens.
A former doctor of optometry, Rabb
rebounded but only with the help
of intensive counselling offered by
the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (AFM).
General Manager of Winpark
Dorchester Properties, which manages 5,500 residential housing
units in Winnipeg, Rabb is turning
both his personal experience as a
recovering addict and his business
acumen to create an ambitious
multi-million-dollar addictions recovery centre at the site of the former Misty Lake Lodge and Conference Centre in Gimli.
“My vision for recovery began 14
years ago when I returned to the
city,” Rabb said. “I’ve been a strong
advocate for addictions services in
Manitoba. Not to say the services
are bad here. But there is some disconnect in our system. At Aurora,
we want to provide a continuum of
care.”
“I can’t stress enough the need for
that continuum of care,” Rabb continued. “People need to have access when they’re in a critical or
traumatic period of their life. They
need to be able to gain access to
care, then move forward to recovery.”
Rabb is founder, president and chief
executive officer of Aurora Recovery Centre, which will begin offering its addictions treatment services to Manitobans and cross-border
clients in June. The $14.3-million
centre is in the midst of a complete
makeover. About $6 million is being pumped into extensive renovations to the former conference centre on PR 222, north of the Gimli
townsite. The balance of Aurora’s

Your Source for Community News – Locally Owned and Produced April 8, 2015 Peter Connelly is vice president of programming at Aurora.
He holds a Masters in addictions counselling. He says Aurora’s programming will be highly structured because people
in the throes of addictions and recovery require it.
“Aurora will be not only aiding clients in incorporating balance and structure, but also taking a holistic view regarding
a client’s treatment,” Connelly said in a talk after tours of the
facility were completed. The goal, he said, is to address physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

A public hearing into an $800,000 water treatment upgrade attracted about 30
people to the Winnipeg Beach Community Centre last Thursday evening. Manitoba Water Services Board is committed
to pay half of the project cost.
The entire Beach council was on-hand
for the hearing. Also present were Carol
Oppermann, a former East Selkirk chief
administrative officer and consultant to
the town on its water and sewer upgrade
projects, and Travis Parsons, chief engineer with the Manitoba Water Services
Board.
Oppermann provided a run-through of
project details before Mayor Tony Pimentel turned to the audience for questions
and comments.
While the focus of the hearing was a
Local Improvement Plan that will, if unchallenged, allow the town to borrow
its $400,000 share of the project cost,
many who spoke focused on water meters and other matters not directly related
to the plan. Nevertheless, the consensus
appeared to be that the water treatment
upgrade is necessary, though there were
concerns about how the cost of the project will be borne.
Municipal water is available to 152 identified properties in the downtown area,
including homes east of Churchill Rd.,
the Harbour Village condominiums and
residences and businesses downtown.
Each of the property owners will be required to pay an annual $297 levy over
the 12-year term of the borrowing. A
one-time lump-sum payment of $2,632
is also an option.
The planned water upgrades include installation of an ultraviolet disinfection
system; replacing an existing hydropneumatic tank with three small bladder
tanks; installation of variable frequency
drives (VFDs) in each of two well pumps;
and installation of a pressure transducer
in the distribution system to control the
VFDs on a system-pressure basis.
A new well with its own 20 horsepower
pump was originally planned to serve the
town fire department’s needs, but council decided to defer that because its goal
was to keep the overall project cost low.
Mayor Pimentel noted that the province
mandated that the water plant upgrades
be done. “This system is the most costeffective,” he said. “Once we get all our
costs in the numbers may change.”
Long-time homeowner Debbie Benson
argued that the town should be using its
utility reserves to pay or, at the least offset, the cost of the water treatment upgrades. “In times like this, that’s where
the town has to kick in the money,” she
said. “I think the town needs to take responsibility.”
“You’re putting a lot of responsibility on
us,” said Benson, who noted her water
utility rates have increased to $85 from
$35 in just 10 years. “Where’s all that
money going?”
The Water Services Board’s Parsons added that the board “does strongly recommend installation of water meters.”
Former Beach councillor and downtown
business owner Ken Muracz suggested
some thought should have been given
to spreading out the cost of the upgrade
beyond the borders of the downtown service area.
If water consumption rates continue to
increase, the town may have to reapply
for a water rights licence. The current
licence, renewed in 2010, allows the
town to withdraw 50 cubic decametres
(50,000 cubic metres or 50 million litres)
of water from the area’s aquifers a year.
“Why should we, as a local improvement
district (LID), be paying for all of it?” he
said. “There should be some thought of
cost recovery outside the LID.”
He noted that residents of the unserviced
area outside downtown use town water.
“If the town as a whole is using 50 per
cent of the water, we’re paying 50 per
cent more than we should be.”
It’s not quite that simple, suggested
deputy mayor Ryan Reykdal. He noted,
for instance, that property owners outside the area have wells for which they
are entirely responsible. That cost is not
‘shared’ with downtown property owners
who have access to municipal water.
“Over the years, I’ve had to drill two new
wells,” he said. “I buy water softener salt
and maintain my own system. We [outside downtown] have all these costs.”
Reykdal said the water upgrade provides
users with the “biggest bang” for their
dollar.
However, it was the discussion of metering water use that dominated. The
hearing learned that water consumption
is more than twice what would be expected, compared to other jurisdictions.
“That could indicate that the distribution
system is in poor condition,” Oppermann
said.
The water lines that supply water in the
plan area are not part of the project,
which is confined to treatment and water supply elements at the town’s water
plant.
Mayor Pimentel noted that while water
metering is not part of the current project
it is favoured by both the Water Services Board and the Public Utilities Board
(PUB). A water meter installation project
is in council’s sights but it’s not on the
table just yet. “We’re hoping that when
we have some [metered consumption]
numbers, we can better understand our
water consumption,” the mayor said.
Robert Kirkland estimated water meters
would cost $150,000. However ‘soft’
costs related to administering the utility
should be known before the town goes
ahead on meters, he said.
“That’s a lot of money to spend just to
find out if you have limits,” Kirkland said.
Noted veteran town councillor Daryl
Carry: “The province has asked for many
years that we do go to a water metering
system.”
The water capacity issue is key to landing more single-family and multi-family
residential developments. Mayor Pimentel says right now, given existing water
consumption estimates and the absence
of water meters, major developments are
unlikely.
“We’re talking here and now,” the mayor
said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in two years. Right now, we’re at
about 90 per cent of the 50 decametres
allowed.”
However, Parsons suggested increasing
the town’s upper limit in water consumption under another water rights licence
could be achieved. “If the town needed
more water, it’s likely that you could get
incremental increases,” he said. “If the
golf course wanted to hook on, it’s possible they could. We would just have to
apply to increase the water rights.”
Property owner Kirkland said he didn’t
want the opportunity for residential development at the golf course slip by.
“We don’t want to miss out on those opportunities, either,” said Pimentel. “We’re
going to make sure those things happen.
Our vision was expansion — if there is
going to be development; we want to be
able to provide that service. But, again,
we’re talking here and now. I don’t know
what’s going to happen in two years but
we do want to see development. If we
need to go back for a licence, then that’s
what we’ll do. But we’re near our limit.
That’s just the facts right now.”
Business owner Doug Jarvis noted that
it’s not a matter of ‘running out’ of water. Rather, the current system of using an
arbitrary residential equivalent unit rate
structure does nothing to encourage conservation or provide fairness to users. He
noted that the town considered installing
meters a decade ago — an initiative he
supported.
“What we haven’t done is gotten rid of
waste: abuse of the system,” the restaurateur said. “One thing a meter would
provide is that people would pay fairly
for use. It’s 10 years later, and we’re still
talking about meters.”
In the end, there was just one written
objection to the water upgrade plan. It’s
expected that town council will pass first
reading of the Local Improvement Plan
and the related borrowing. The bylaw
will then go to the Manitoba Municipal
Board, which may reject the bylaw, revise it or approve it as submitted.

to get work. It’s exciting.”
An almost $15-million investment in
Gimli is an economic game-changer that
could revive flagging business fortunes
and bring more needed jobs to the municipality, says Mayor Randy Woroniuk.
Woroniuk hopes the new money and the
up to 150 jobs that comes with it will
reverse a troubling trend of business closures in the community he was elected
to lead last October. The mayor welcomes a for-profit institution that will be
open year-round with none of the seasonal shifts and hiccoughs common to
businesses in resort communities.
Aurora Recovery Centre, a facility designed to treat people with addictions,
confirmed its plan to invest a planned
$14.3 million to purchase and redevelop
the former site of Misty Lake Lodge and
Conference Centre, 15 minutes north of
the Gimli townsite on PR 222.
Aurora’s landmark commitment makes
its project the largest single business play
in Gimli in almost a quarter of a century.
(Lakeview Resort and Conference Centre
opened in 1992, then known as Country Inns and Suites. Land acquisition and
construction were pegged at about $5
million at the time.)
Mayor Randy Woroniuk says
recovery centre will rev up
Gimli’s economic engine.
“It’s huge,” Mayor Woroniuk said yesterday, a day after he and a host of dignitaries and investors toured the Aurora site,
now in the final two months of extensive
renovation. “It’s going to be a significant
economic engine. It’s going to be huge.
There is going to be a lot of opportunities
Gimli businesses have been buffeted by
downturns and challenges. Last year’s
short summer did not help. The restaurant at Bowlers, Gimli’s only bowling
alley, closed earlier this year. Robins
Donuts on First Ave. closed without explanation in December, though it is now
looking for new employees for an anticipated re-opening. Other long-established businesses are either for sale or
contemplating closing.
“The bonus is that this is going to be
year-round,” the mayor said of the Aurora project. “That, in itself, is going to reverse this trend of businesses closing. At
upwards of 150 people, it will be probably the biggest hiring of people since
Diageo distillery was established. I am
looking forward to this.”
Woroniuk also cited the ancillary benefits that will accrue once Aurora is upand-running. Visitors and staff at the
centre will patronize Gimli businesses,
while some professional staff may purchase homes, he said.
“This is huge. I’m really looking forward
to it.”
Aurora is optimistic its business plan will
generate more jobs and provide additional services to a growing client base
over time. Net income, while projected
to be in a loss position at year’s end, is
expected to top $5.3 million at year-end
2017.

Gimli chief administrative officer
Joann King acknowledged a conflict
and left chambers when the flooring tender arose on council’s sparse
agenda.
A request for quotes (RFQ) on the
painting was sent to seven poten-
tial bidders. Four businesses bid on
the work. Yaremkiewich’s bid was
lowest, narrowly edging out a bid
of $10,685. The highest of the four
came in at more than $25,000.
On the flooring front, five RFQs
were sent to businesses. Two responded. King’s bid was less than
half that of the other bidder.

Artistic creations by students in the grade 10 visual arts program at Ashern Central School:
microcalligraphy portraits, sharpie ink on white tag paper. Students inquired into the skill
of creating alternative values, depicting light to dark by controlling and utilizing the scale,
spacing, baseline, and leading of their writing. The portraits depict pop culture icons or
personal icons, which allows students access and connection to their assignment, leading to
greater engagement and emotional involvement in the artistic creation process.
30s graphic communication and technology, sketchbooks, mixed media and assorted white
tag paper. Designers were required to discover the book binding process (stitching, stapling,
and gumming), as well as developing a visually pleasing cover. Some designers chose a ‘traditional’ book style, while other chose accordion, envelope, or another style that met the criteria that were initially set out in the assignment. The sketchbooks the designers created are
used in every class while recording and developing ideas for current and future assignments.

Engineering the future in an informationa
By Marlene Ness
“The provincial government somehow
doesn’t seem to weigh the value of tourism
in relation to what they give us for funding,”
McDonald said bluntly. She held up a recent publication by Travel Manitoba, which
clearly states the substantial figures generated each year by the Manitoba tourism industry.
Tourism generates almost $2 billion annually in Manitoba, accounting for a sizeable
chunk of the provincial economy. The value
of tourism is expected to grow as more Manitobans stay close to home to ‘rediscover’
the wonders in their own back yards.
The benefits of provincial and regional tourism were front-and-center at the annual
general meeting of the Interlake Tourism
Association (ITA), held at Silver Community
Hall March 26.
On-hand was Colin Ferguson, chief executive officer of Travel Manitoba. Ferguson enlightened ITA membership with a broad perspective of the province’s tourism industry.
“You’ve heard us talking in Manitoba about
the tourism industry being a $1.5-billion
industry, which accounts for approximately
three per cent of Manitoba’s GDP,” said Ferguson. “We’ve actually already surpassed
that figure. We’re closer to $1.7 billion a
year, thanks to everyone in the industry who
is developing and marketing new products,
and creating more opportunities for Manitobans to experience their own province.”
Ferguson also attributed industry success to
the highly successful “Manitoba: Canada’s
Heart Beats” campaign launched in 2014.
Not surprisingly, out of the five tourism
commercials that are currently being aired
for the campaign, the fishing spot is the one
that has proven to be most popular in the
Interlake.
“The Interlake Tourism Association was the
first one in the province to adopt the ‘Manitoba: Canada’s Heart Beats’ brand,” Ferguson noted. “[ITA general manager] Gail
[McDonald] liked it — and it was a great
start!”
“Our goal by 2020 is to be at $2 billion a
year in tourism spending,” continued Ferguson. “That would have Manitoba ranking
fifth in the country, behind ‘the big four’: Alberta, B.C., Ontario and Quebec. All of the
provinces ahead of us have eight to 12 times

ITA’s Geocaching Race Results Interlake geocoins journey across the globe
The winners of the Interlake Association
Tourism Geocoin Race were announced by
Jacques Bourgeois, ITA president, during
the association’s annual general meeting in
Silver March 26.
During 2014, some of these small, colourful geocoins made amazing journeys
around the globe, giving geocachers in
dozens of countries — some on the other
side of the world — a tiny glimpse of our
region here in the Interlake.
The coins, which were created in a project by ITA to promote tourism via the exciting sport of geocaching, depicted various scenes from around the Interlake. The
eye-catching artwork on the geocoins was
designed by a Vancouver company called
Landsharkz, and every second year the
coins were changed to depict different imagery from the Interlake region.
“Some coins have collected lots of mileage, while some others seem to have been

those geocachers to come for a visit.”
The mileage covered by the wee coins during the race was an astounding 650,000
kilometres in total. Viewing the winning
coins’ route maps, one can see the unique
path that each coin took.

New Horizons showcases talents of members
By Roger Newman
Prolific describes the
production of many
paintings by New
Horizons artists.
Gimli’s senior artists are producing a large body of work.
They had more than 50 paintings on display March 31 at the
New Horizons 55-plus Centre’s annual spring art, crafts
and quilt sale at the centre.
Gimli’s senior
quilters are really
wrapped up in their
work.
“We have 15 or 16 members in our art group, some of
whom are fairly new to painting,” said Lorraine MacVicar,
an accomplished Gimli artist
who teaches the three yearold group. “We welcome new
members every fall and paint
Tuesday afternoons at weekly
sessions running from October
to April.”
A steady flow of visitors came to the
centre to see not only the work of
the artists, but also the quilts and
crafts produced by the New Horizons quilting group. The artists organize the yearly spring show while
the quilters take care of the arrangements for an annual pre-Christmas
sale that features the work of both
groups. Coffee and an impressive selection of dainties are a major attraction at both shows.
2
The artists taking part this spring included MacVicar, Susanne Pascal,
Pam Watkinson, Les Einarson, Fred
Ralke, Kathleen Cheong, Pat Johnson, Inga Palson, Maureen Anderson, Marian Gale and Delores Michaluk.
On hand at the quilters table were
Nancy Richmond, Denise Wenzel,
Marlene Rooney, Irene Gottfried,
Donna Kerns, Bev Einarson and
Heather Dankochik.

Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces:
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news, our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach.
However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!”
Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island.
An hour later Danny turns to his wife and asks, “Gladys, did we pay our Visa and MasterCard bill yet?”
“No, sweetheart,” she responds.
Danny, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, “Gladys, did we pay our American Express card yet?”
“Oh, no! I’m sorry. I forgot to send that cheque too!” she says.
“One last thing Gladys. Did you remember to send the instalment cheque for Revenue Canada this month?” he asks.
“Oh, forgive me, Danny,” begged Gladys. “I didn’t send that one, either.”
Danny grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years. Gladys pulls away and asks him, “What was that for?”
Danny answers “ We’ll be okay, Revenue Canada will find us “
Pruden Avenue ‘not a happy road’:
St. Andrews Mayor Pike
By Marlene Ness
It’s perhaps not surprising that the state
of Pruden Ave. in St. Andrews remains
front-and-center with residents and
council. The sad state of the road seems
only to worsen.
Following last week’s partial cave-in
of Pruden Ave., after winter work by
Maple Leaf construction, the future of
a wastewater system to serve the road’s
residents continues to be a topic of
contention in council.
In her January-February report, chief
administrative officer Sue Sutherland
noted that Pruden Ave. residents were
informed that City of Selkirk has approved a wastewater extension that
would be available to residents, who
will be expected to pay for connection
to the system.
“I’m receiving calls from residents,”
Coun. Joy Sul said during a council
meeting last week. “Pruden Ave. residents have not, at this point, been advised that they’re supposed to source
their own costs on sewer connection.
There have been no meetings. People
have not received a copy of the bylaws.
They have been left completely in the
dark. Last week, the street caved in; it’s
a bad situation.”
Mayor George Pike agreed that the
road was recently impassable. “We
had Maple Leaf Construction out, as
well as our own public works people,”
Pike said. “They barricaded Pruden
Ave., added extra gravel — and are still
waiting for drainage to happen. I went
down the road myself and you’re right:
it is not a happy road to drive down. It
must be brought back up to condition.”
On the ‘good news’ roads front, St. Andrews received two awards at a recent
Manitoba Good Roads Association
banquet.
‘Best Country Non-Farm Home
Grounds’ went to Karl and Mary Loepp
of St. Andrews.
The municipality also won the ‘2014
Most Improved Municipal Roads’ for
Division B.
Water breaks problematic along Hwy. 9 in Gimli
By Jim Mosher
Public works staff in Gimli had last
week yet to find the source of a water
line break on Hwy. 9 at Lady of the
Lake Dr.
Traffic was detoured on at least two
occasions as staff continued a dogged
search for the source of the break.
Long-time public works chairman
Danny Luprypa says water lines along
Hwy. 9 have been particularly problematic over the years, including the
latest break and numerous breaks at the
Manitoba Conservation offices further
north on the highway.
“We can’t find the leak. We’re chasing
the leak,” Coun. Luprypa said of the
recent break during a regular meeting
Wed., March 25. “We put a valve on
it and ended up hauling water [to the
affected property owner] for two days.”
“We need our water lines replaced,”
chief administrative officer Joann King
acknowledged. However, the estimated
cost of doing that was pegged at about
$10 million six years ago.
There were 12 water main breaks in
Gimli, including 11 in the townsite,
known as Gimli Local Urban District
(LUD). The other break occurred in
Gimli Industrial Park.
The municipality currently operates
three water distribution systems, including the town, industrial park and at
Pelican Beach. Past councils have eyed
creating a single, centralized water
service. However that would require
financial assistance from senior levels
of government.
“The RM of Gimli will continue applying for provincial/federal funding
to assist in the rehabilitation of our aging water distribution system (piping
network) as it comes available,” the
municipality states in its 2014 water
audit report for the Gimli LUD utility.
“If funding is not made available, the
municipality will review the use of the
Federal Gas Tax Reserve or may borrow
funds. The repayment of the borrowing
will come from utility rate surcharges
to the utility customers.”
The 2014 report and prior-year audits
are available on the municipal website
under ‘Forms and Communication’ via
the ‘Our Government’ link on the main
page.
In other business at its regular meeting
March 25, Gimli council:
* Tabled a request from the Canadian
Fallen Heroes Foundation for a donation. The foundation provides plaques
to memorialize fallen soldiers.
However, it was unclear whether the
foundation is a non-profit or a business.
“They’re not affiliated with the Canadian military,” noted Mayor Randy
Woroniuk. “It seems like a private enterprise.”
Administration will seek additional information about the organization. Staff
will also contact officials at the Gimli
branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.
“We want to make sure we’re doing
something that honours the fallen, not
something that markets them,” said
King.
* Awarded an annual tender for the
operation of the North Beach Concession to Al Foster at a seasonal rate of
$150. Foster will provide all equipment
required and pay a portion of utilities.
* Learned that volunteer firefighters are
now required to attend and secure the
scenes of highway accidents. “They
can be out for some time, particularly if
an accident requires an investigation,”
King said, adding that the time spent
at-scene is time spent away from work.
Administration will monitor the time
required.
* Gave first reading to a zoning bylaw
amendment that may pave the way for
the inclusion of modular or manufactured homes in residential areas. The
homes will be required to meet the
following criteria: Have a roof pitch of
5/12 at minimum; eave projection of
1.5 feet (18 inches) at minimum; and a
dwelling length not to exceed 2.5 times
the width of the home.
The amendment will be the subject of a
public hearing.

OBITUARY
LORNE AVERY TORBERT
OBITUARY
DAVID (DAVE) LOUIS SPULNICK
1942-2015
It is with deep sadness that the Spulnick family announces the passing of
our beloved David at the Health Sciences Center on April 2, 2015. Dearly
beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and grandpa.
He is survived by his loving wife Wilma of 49 years and 1 week of marriage;
daughter Carol (Pat); sons Kenneth, Keith (Meaghan) and Evan (Averley);
along with 8 grandchildren; siblings sister Judy (Cyril) and brother’s Bryan
(Lauris) and Larry (Janet). Along with nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by parents Rosalie and Louis.
He was born in Winnipeg, January 29, 1942, raised in Matlock, attended
school there until his marriage to Wilma on March 26, 1966. David lived
in the interlake area all his life working as a barber and truck driver. David
was very kind, loving family man who enjoyed his children and grandchildren.
Cremation has taken place and as per his wishes there will be no formal
funeral.
It is with profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of Lorne
Torbert on Monday, March 23, 2015.
Lorne was predeceased by his father Donald in 2006.
He is survived by his soul mate, Andrea Campbell, his son Barry, his mother Norma Torbert (Isfjord), his sister Debbie Mate (Ken), his niece Kendra
Mate (Matthew) and his nephew Paul Mate, also Andrea’s children, Lauren
(Kevin), Matthew (Cindy) and little Olivia and baby Emma, as well as many
aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Lorne’s life began on January 10, 1964 in Berea Ohio with his Parents Don
and Norma and his sister Debbie. Lorne was baptized at Berea Lutheran
church where his church roots began.
At age 8, Lorne and family moved to Gimli. He enjoyed coming to Canada
and embraced all that it offered, this included spending time with the Isfjord family.
Lorne helped his mother and father build their home in camp Morton.
In his youth he spent time with his father and uncles snowmobiling and
hunting (where he got his first moose). Later in life, he enjoyed his snowmobiling and fishing excursions with friends up north.
When Lorne moved to Winnipeg, he met Cheryl Towers they married and
had their son Barry. Lorne and Barry shared the joy of technology, music,
(ranging from just listening to it as well as playing it on the organ). Recently they shared duties of being the “sound technicians” for the church.
Lorne found 80 acres of beautiful land in Teulon and he and his father
created a homestead there. Lorne loved the ponds, trails and having “The
Granary” where family gathered.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare, Diabetes, or the
Heart and Stroke Foundation in his name.
Many thanks to Dr. R.C. Patel and Gimli Hospital, Dr. A Leylak of Health
Sciences Center, thanks to CancerCare drivers and the ambulance drivers,
as well the home care workers.
David we’ll miss you forever and cherish you in our memories.

Lorne worked at Rockwood Lumber. People were known to do business
there because they trusted him and knew the job would get done.
Lorne’s journey brought him back to Gimli where he attended church with
his mother Norma. His life took a turn one Sunday when a special Angel
connected Lorne to his soul mate, Andrea Campbell.
Lorne showed his love for Andrea by doing something as simple as watching a movie with her to building a beautiful deck for her. They enjoyed
golfing together and doing projects around the house.
Lorne was a man of many talents, which he shared with the Gimli Lutheran
Church. He was not only a council member but also became the Chairperson. He helped with the maintenance, sound system and anything else
that needed to be done.
Because Lorne was a reliable handyman, his abilities lead him to his current position as head of maintenance for Shorepointe Village.
Lorne was a man who lived his faith every day. He was strong yet humble
with a gentle spirit and a big heart. He was also funny and liked a good
joke. He touched the lives of many and will be dearly missed.
Let’s not remember Lorne’s life based on one tragic moment, but by fifty
one beautiful years of life he lived as he served God, his family, his friends
and his church community.

Fish have back up against the wall
By Michel Forest
Power play goals were a factor in determining the final outcome of this
one as Peguis was 3 for 7 (42.9%)
with the man advantage, while the
Fish drew a big goose egg in that department, going 0 for 5 on the power
play.
The Selkirk Fishermen now find
themselves down three games to two
in their KJHL final best-out-of-seven
series with the Peguis Juniors, with
game 6 scheduled for tonight at the
Peguis Multiplex Centre at 7:30 p.m.
Fishermen 6, Juniors 4 (April 3)
At the Multiplex Centre last Friday
evening, the visiting Fishermen proceeded to lay on some significant
lumber as they fired a total of 56
shots at the opponent’s net, while
the Juniors retaliated with 41 shots
of their own.
Cale McBride (Thomas, Fontaine)
opened the scoring for the Fish with
a power play goal at 9:17 of the 1st,
followed by three straight Junior
goals, with two by Joseph Sutherland and the other by Devon Garson. After 20 minutes, the Fish were
staring at a 3-1 deficit.
Drayton Mendrun scored for the Fish
at 14:27 of the 2nd but Garson retaliated for the Juniors with his second
goal of the game just over one minute later at 13:18. Selkirk outshot the
Juniors in the 2nd by a margin of 20
to 9. Score after two periods: Juniors
4, Fishermen 2.
In the third period, it was all Selkirk,
with scores from Cale McBride (his
second of the game), Drayton Mendrun (unassisted) and two more goals
from Karl Fey, who continues to have
an outstanding playoff run.
Scott Thomas also had a good game,
contributing three assists in the winning effort for the Fish.
Juniors 8, Fishermen 3 (April 4)
The Juniors scored five consecutive
goals in the first seven minutes of the
game at the Selkirk Recreation Complex on Saturday evening to blow
the game wide open right from the
start.
Brandon Paradoski made it a 5-1
game with a goal for the Fish at the
11:35 mark, but Sutherland proceeded to restore the five-goal Peguis lead with his second netter of
the period with a power play goal at
7:16.
The last few games have been relatively wide open affairs with little to
report in the roughing and scrapping
aspects, with both teams skating
hard and players being very opportunistic in the opposing zone.
As far as the flipping back and forth
of home ice advantage is concerned,
Fish coach Chris Poponick said that
“I don’t think it matters at this point
where the game is played, it’s all
about which team gets the biggest
jump early and who can hold on
and finish the job, just like we did
last Friday.”
Moreover, Poponick didn’t seem
to be concerned about his team
drawing a blank on the power play during this last contest.
“On the whole, I think our power
play has been pretty good throughout the playoffs, with McBride and
MacVicar contributing their share of
goals there,” Poponick said. “If a guy
like Pachowsky steps it up on that
unit, that will certainly help.”
Poponick concluded by saying that
the key to winning the series will be
the team that manages to sustain the
intensity during a full 60 minutes,
not just bursts of scoring here and
there during individual periods.
Griffin Steeves (from Cale McBride)
scored the only goal of the 2nd period to bring the Fish to within four
goals. Score after 40 minutes: Peguis
6, Selkirk 2.
Cory Balcaen made it a 6-3 game
with a goal in the first minute of
the third period, but Juniors Darryl
Flett and Presley Kirkness sealed the
outcome of the contest, each with a
power play goal to give the Juniors
the 8-3 victory.
