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.

unconventional, is slowly gaining a footIt’s not just a crazy dream, I thought. It is

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.

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.

While Luprypa disagreed with the water treatment upgrades occurring first,
he supported the application for threeway funding for the project, which,
should it be approved, will be shared

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.

Former Gimli High musician chosen for national band
By Roger Newman
A former Gimli High School student has
been selected to play his alto saxophone
in an all-star youth band that will perform at this summer’s Ottawa Jazz Festival.
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.

GRADUATION
The political representatives were
present at a Gimli townhall press
conference because all three levels
of government play key roles in financing and supporting the operations of the Gimli-based regional
Handi-Van service.
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.”

Caldwell came up with the only

communities have been without

three years ago.

Cat crisis in the Interlake: Where to turn?
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

take a healthy animal to the humane
society, there’s a good chance it’ll get
adopted out.’ Last year, the Winnipeg

but it’s very difficult to convince municipalities to change their attitudes.”
Walsh added that due to being overwhelmed by cat requests, Pawed Pals

What is the Answer?
Regulations and Screening
The formation of new rescue groups
According to the Walsh, the long- inevitably brings up the question of

of so-called ‘foster home’ Kelly McGouran: a person with a long history
“It’s frustrating,” commented Black- of neglect and animal hoarding. 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.

Treating Allergies Naturally
Allergy Season is upon us!
How many of you are experiencing itchy watery eyes,

By Dr. Mary Anne Hembroff BSc., ND.
At this time of year, suffers are usually reacting

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

These hypersensitive immune reactions can be reduced significantly by looking
at what we eat and drink.

- Foods high in a natural anti-histamine called Quercetin include; onions (cook with
the hard outside skin on – consume the broth), cranberry juice, the white skin on
oranges.
- A natural Anti-inflammatory, anthocyanin, is found in berries, cherries, grapes and
red onion. 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!

Clothing for Seniors
with Disabilities
Many seniors with physical and mental
limitations have unique clothing needs.
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-

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!

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. There are two types of human beings in this world: One of them goes for
what they want, move towards their goals,
their objectives, moves toward becoming
who they truly are, moves toward becoming authentic, to becoming more honest,
a better person, everyday they move toward becoming amazing. And the second
type of person, well, they are not. That’s it!
Which one are you?

Adrian Welham said requiring such
a pitch is unnecessary and fails to
recognize the significant improvements that come with modern
modular homes. He noted there is
no restriction on an RTM to have a
5/12 pitch.
There was not a single expression
of objection when Gimli council
held a public hearing to amend
its zoning bylaw to allow modular
homes in the municipality. No one
attended to object nor were there
any written letters of objection

Nevakshonoff settles into ministerial digs at Leg’
Rookie Cabinet minister faces whirlwind in first posting after 16 years
By Jim Mosher
Tom Nevakshonoff was still getting his
bearings when the Interlake Enterprise
spoke with him May 3. 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

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.”

Student teams tie in filmmaking contest
By Roger Newman
Gimli’s Westshore Singers will be under the
baton of Muriel Smith when they return to
the stage next week for their annual series of
three spring concerts.
Smith is the latest in a series of distinguished
directors who have led the 54-voice choir
since it was formed 16 years ago to perform in Gimli and nearby communities. She
took over the podium last year from Renise

ing, education and health,” Muriel said. “We
also wanted quick access to things like ballet
and symphony. 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.

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
