and Tourism Commit-
tee member, they plan
to repaint the Discover
Minnedosa metal cut-
out sign, since the yellow
paint has begun to fade.
We want it to stand out
a little more, said Luker.
With the community chip-
ping in to make the spot a
worthy representation of
the community by main-
taining the grass and hav-
ing a youth group picking
up garbage and keeping it
clean, people are starting
to take notice and stop for
visits there.
Painting the sign is not
the only upgrade the spot
will receive. The plan also
includes the possibility
of putting in trees behind
the sign in order to really
help it stand out. However,
what will really do the trick
is the solar lighting that will
be installed so that when
you go by itll show it off
a little more, said Luker.
The fi rst priority with the
lighting is to light up the
sign, with the lights being
placed behind the sign so
that they shine through the
cut-out letters. Once this
is in, the next priority will
be to have the train lit up

Abel And Oberg Honoured Zoning Amendment To Allow For Multi-

When learning about
the two men who are pil-
lars in the community, it
is plain to see why they are
deserving of such a presti-
gious award. Their stories
tell of a time when facing
ones fear of going into
the line of fire and fight-
ing for what was right was
not so great as their fear of
a world with Hitler at its
helm.

feels for these two men will

to make his way, among
many other wounded sol-

he saw an American man,

Family Housing In Northwest Corner
By HILLARY CAMPBELL
R ecently an application
to amend certain zon-
ing regulations within the
Town of Minnedosa have
been made. The plan has
been set into motion by
Ken Kane Holdings, who
plans to develop multi-
residential dwellings in
two separate locations in
the northwest corner of
town.
According to Brian
Skatch of the Tanners
Crossing Planning Dis-
trict, the plan is to convert
the lots from single-res-
idential zoning to multi-
residential. One of these
lots, along 5th Avenue
N.W. is currently vacant
while the other, along 6th
Avenue N.W., is currently
occupied by two old, der-
elict houses which will
be demolished. However,
two buildings into multi-
residential lots, which
could be either a four-plex
or a six-plex. However,
Skatch said that gener-
ally council is in favour
of these amendments, if
its done according to the
zoning bylaw regulations.
Editors note: At Tues-
days Town Council meet-
ing, zoning amendment
bylaws were given third
reading and passed in fa-
vour of this development.
Skatch noted that of-
ten when the notices are
sent to the neighbour-
ing lots that there will be
a public hearing on the
matter, usually you get
a couple of phone calls.
People often simply want
clarification of what will
be happening in their
neighbourhood. You just
get folks saying what is
this all about? and as soon
it said Skatch, if there
is something wrong, red
flags usually start to ap-
pear, and then council will
back away.
Right now the de-
velopment plan is in the
process of being changed,
which should be com-
pleted by the end of the
year. Once this is done,
zoning bylaws will need to
be changed as well. Cur-
rently the zoning bylaws
are from 2004, so are in
dire need of a more cur-
rent makeover.
Whether the amend-
ment needs to be made
in the zoning bylaw for
the R.M. or the Town,
the paperwork will go
through Tanners Cross-
ing Planning District, so
they are a good source of
information for anyone
who has any questions on
amendments that are in

A lexander Abel joined

the army on January
16th, 1942. In Canada,
he underwent extensive
training in Brandon, MB.
In September of 1943, he
was drafted overseas, and
in the following January he
was posted to the 18th Bty.
2nd Canadian Antitank
Regiment 2nd Division.
In the following
weeks, he was ordered to
guard German prisoners
and he was sent into the
line of fire of German snip-
ers. Following this, he sus-
tained a serious infection
in his hand, and was sent
on a hospital ship that was
bound for England.
However, while he
after the torpedo hit, Abel
told the other man to jump
from the side of the ship
to avoid the pull from the
sinking ship, and jumped
himself, never knowing if
the other man survived.
After spending a half an
hour in the water, he was
rescued by an American
Sub chaser.
in order to do this, Ken
Kane Holdings needs to
go through the public
process, and place the
amendment to the zoning
bylaw before Town Coun-
cil, who will then make a
decision. If the decision
by town council is yes,
then the developer will
go ahead and convert the
as I explain it, they say, oh
yeah, thats no problem,
said Skatch. Neighbours
within 100 yards of the
affected property will be
notified by a letter in the
mail that there will be an
upcoming public hearing.
If it meets code and fol-
lows all the zoning, I cant
see anything wrong with
the works. This could be
a good sign for Minnedosa
because Skatch noted that
he could not say whether
Minnedosa is in need of
more housing or not, but
that, the developers ob-
viously think so, or they
wouldnt be investing in
it, because it costs a lot of
dollars.

Hats Off To Our Emergency Responders
Dear Editor,
W e drive past a car
accident and think,
oh my, I hope everyone is
ok or drive past a fire and
think, I hope no one got
hurt or you see an ambu-
lance at someones home
and wonder and then we
move along and hope for
the best and carry on with
our lives.
But, what if you are
the paramedic attending
that 911 call to someones
home, or you are a mem-
ber of the fire department
or police service who also
might attend that home,
or fire or crash? They dont
just move along and hope
for the best. They do their
level best to save, to pro-
tect, to intervene, to com-
fort, whatever it takes in
that particular situation.
Then, when that crisis is
over, they take all of those
incidents back to their re-
spective stations where
they do all the necessary
paperwork, restock their
vehicles and whatever else
that needs doing. Then,
after many hours, they go
home and take that and
whatever else happened
with them. The car acci-
dent, the fi re, the cardiac
arrest, it all goes home
with them. To make mat-
ters more difficult, the
paramedics, the firefight-
ers and police officers are

nity, responding to mem-
bers of our community.
Often times they know the
person in that car crash or
the person who just had
the cardiac arrest or whos
property was just on fire,
but they dont drive by and
think Oh, I hope every-
thing is ok. They stay, of-
ten times putting their own
lives on the line trying to
save others, to protect oth-
ers. But what toll does this
take on them at the end of
that shift? They recount the
incident, and many times
it is a wonderful outcome,
happy and positive. But
what about the times when
it isnt? Who helps them,
who comforts and protects
them?
I just want to say, from
the very bottom of my

doing what needs to be

neighbours husband and
another neighbour went
out with shovels and dug
the ambulance out. By that
time, a second ambulance,
the fi re department and
the RCMP had arrived at
the scene. Four of our lo-

full turnout gear ran with
shovels toward the home
to quickly clear a path for
paramedics to get the ho-
meowner out to the ambu-
lance on a stretcher.
Th e teamwork wit-
nessed in this incident left
the neighbour very proud
of all involved who worked
together in the worst pos-
sible winter conditions to
assist a resident in need.

Rotary Club Book Sale Survives Blizzard
By HILLARY CAMPBELL
W hether there is a
massive Manitoba
blizzard or not, the Rotary
Club of Minnedosa will not
be stopped! Peggy Mul-
lie, secretary for the local
Rotary Club, braved the
blizzard and managed to
keep the book sale open
on schedule beginning
Tuesday, March 7th at the
height of the storm. The
sale was held at the 50+
Centre and ran through
Saturday, March 11th.
According to Mul-
lie, there were some cus-
tomers who also made it
through the snow on the
fi rst couple days, but not
many. That being said, the
book sale had many shop-
pers during the rest of the
week.
It is a good thing there
were so many patrons of
the book sale, because ac-
cording to Mullie, weve buyers found the perfect
got a tremendous amount
of books this year, more
than weve ever had. The
reason for the multitude
of books is that there were
a number of estates that
donated books to the Ro-
tary Club this year. Books
are typically collected year
round at the library, or do-
nated directly to the Rotary
Club, and in February they
also place a donation box
at Heritage Co-op where
people can drop them off.
Th e book sale has
reading material of all ages
and all genres. There truly
is something for everyone.
Mullie noted that mystery
books are often the most
popular, but the newer
book selection and the
book club selections are
also very popular. Cook-
books were also flying off

Th e books were cat-
egorized by genre on the
tables, but there were also
sections laid out with spe-
cific authors, to make fi nd-
ing them easier for buyers.
This year there were also a
large selection of puzzles
and games, as well as some
CDs and DVDs. Rotary

unknown but it has been

were closed. Many people
experienced power fail-

the last storm of this win-

Many of us have been
glued to the television sets
