VVLocally ownedoiceoice & operated - Dedicated to serving our communities WCF to receive $2.2 million from the late Gordon Wiebe
By Ashleigh Viveiros
The Winkler Community Foundation will soon be able to make a huge difference in the lives of local students thanks to a major donation from a former community leader. The foundation announcement last week that it will be receiving upwards of $2.2 million from the estate of Gordon Wiebe. Wiebe was a Winkler pharmacist who owned and operated Wiebe’s Drug Store for upwards of 35 years. He passed away in 2005 and now, with the death of his wife in 2014, a large portion of his estate will go to create the Gordon Wiebe Scholarship Fund, which will allow the community foundation to distribute an estimated $77,000 in scholarships annually. WCF director Gary Gilmour calls the be- Teen leaders quest “a huge game changer” for the orga- nization.

The idea is it would be open to local men and women aged 17 to 21 and focus on building skills in volunteerism, event planning, public speaking and education. Scholar- ships and a trip abroad to volunteer could be awarded to the successful candidates. “We will be introducing several new events, attractions and activities to celebrate ... and we will need many vol- unteers to help pull it off,” MacLean said, encouraging ev- eryone to fi nd a way to get involved. “The more volunteers we have, the more fun we have and the shorter the work commitment for all.

Fundraising has also kicked off with the sale of a silver Pandora apple charm adorned with red cubic zirconia and light green crystal. They are available at the festival offi ce or from MacLean directly for $100 (taxes included). Sponsorship is the mainstay of the annual fundraising campaign, and they will be kicking that off in March. “Local businesses and organizations have generously supported the festival over years and we look forward to great success again this year,” MacLean said. Soon after this, the sale of lottery tickets will get under- way. With the help of St. John’s parish members, the festi- val hopes to sell 300 tickets at $100 each. This project provides for the capital needs of the festi- val such as the backstage and portable washroom trailers, stage, canopy, booths, seating, waste carts, and more. For more information on how you can get involved with the festival or make a donation towards its operating costs, contact the festival offi ce at 204-823-2676, by e-mail at [email protected], or stop in at 200 – 379 Stephen Street. 6 The Winkler Morden Voice Thursday, January 21, 2016 TheVVoiceoiceWinkler Morden gettEDITORIALheard > VIEWPOINTS > LETTERS The heart of the community remember when my while downtown was a loud, confus- something to drink.

Thinking about buying Stainless Steel Appliances?
No matter the style of a homeowner’s kitchen, be it modern, traditional or farmhouse, stainless steel appliances can add a pop of shine and a touch of class. Proponents of stainless steel appliances note their easy maintenance, stylish look and durability. Plus, the neutral tone of stainless steel helps it blend in with just about any color palette. Stainless steel is lauded for its strength and resistance to corrosion and rust. These attributes make it a popular choice in kitchens, where moisture is an issue. Although they are certainly durable choices, stainless steel appliances require maintenance to keep them looking and performing at their best. Considering that stainless steel also costs more than other fi nish options, taking the time to learn proper care can help protect homeowners’ investments.

The Winkler Flyers got things back on track with a pair of wins over the weekend. Following on the heels of a handful of losses, Winkler notched their fi rst win of 2016 by decimating the visit- ing Dauphin Kings on Friday.
