Leanne Stutsky created “Rocks of Remembrance” this year, and a community group presented Bill Neely, a 99-year-old veteran of the Second World War, with a rock to symbolize thanks for his years of service. “I saw the idea for poppy rocks, and I knew I had to make them for our veterans and active military members to show we appreciate what they’ve done and what they continue to do,” said Stutsky. “When I heard there was no service this year, I thought it would be a special token for our heroes.” A special token it was, as those who presented Mr. Neely with his rock said he appreciated the gesture very much and his happiness was evident. Stutsky said it’s because of the veterans like Mr. Neely that our society has the opportunity to fi ght against deadly viruses like COVID-19 or any other medical condition, for that matter. Battling breast cancer over the last year, Stutsky said she fi rst learned of art rocks when a woman from Selkirk had gifted her a breast cancer rock in the early stages of treatment. Stutsky said she will never forget the sense of sup- port and joy she felt that day. “I’ve done a lot of refl ecting, and though I’m a modest person, I do like to help out when and where I can to make a difference. I enjoy painting, and it’s been like a therapy for me,” she said.

TRIBUNE MANITOBA AGRICULTURE AGRIMAPS Dennis Lake lies roughly between 110N and 107N, ac- cording to Agrimaps. The Dennis Lake label at 103N refers to a community post offi ce that no longer ex- ists.

Staff In the story “Komarno-area landowner frustrated by quarter-century delay to address drainage issues,” pub- lished in the Oct. 22 edition of the Stonewall Teulon Tribune, a map the Tribune accessed from the province’s Agrimaps service shows the name of a lake where no lake exists. Ag- rimaps has the label “Dennis Lake” near Larry Wityshyn’s land at 103N and 4E, but the name refers to a community post offi ce that no longer exists. The actual lake, Dennis Lake, lies roughly between 110N and 107N.

Take care of details so they don’t have to. Just ask Ken.

Greg Johnson is leading the way, as a group of Grosse Isle residents are making it known to local politicians and the Vintage Locomotive Society that they are unhappy with the organization’s conduct in and around town. “Car storage and shuffl ing should be done in a proper rail yard, far from people’s backyards, not on a single line designated for weekly visits from a vintage steam engine,” said Johnson. He emphasized the Prairie Dog Central train is not the issue whatsoever but, rather, the use of the track by the Vintage Locomotive Society’s subsidiary company, Prairie Rail Solutions (PRS). “Since 2012, PRS has steadily increased train traffi c on that line. It’s quite possible PRS is adhering to the letter of the law in their operations; however, it is unlikely those laws had this particular situation in mind,” he said. On Saturday Nov. 7, locals allege PRS began shunting — pushing or pulling (a train or part of a train) from the main TRIBUNE PHOTO BY GREG JOHNSON line to a siding or from one track to another — and did not Grosse Isle residents are frustrated by PRS blocking off the frequently used highway cease for 10 hours. access with stored cars.

By Jennifer McFee Stony Mountain’s Old Quarry Park has caught the attention of Disc Golf Manitoba as a potential location for the popular sport. Disc Golf Manitoba’s co-chair Kelly Chabbert and former chair Mark Oxer were scheduled to speak to Rockwood council last month about their idea to develop two 18-hole disc golf courses at the local park. However, due to the pandemic, their meeting has been postponed. Both Chabbert and Oxer have exten- sive experience at disc golf courses all over the world, so they plan to bring their insights into the design of the Disc Golf Manitoba co-chair Kelly championship-level courses. Chabbert promotes the sport. The proposed project took root a couple months ago when Chabbert was walking through Old Quarry TRIBUNE PHOTOS SUBMITTED Park.
