Lögberg-Heimskringla - 17.03.1995, Side 21
Lögberg-Heimskringla • Föstudagur 17. mars 1995 • 21 ernmost boundary during its postage stamp era is the site for Lake Winnipeg’s best Marina Those lazy days of summer attract the usual cottagers from the city as well as out of province tourists seeking the cool refuge of the lakeshore resort. Water enthusiasts enjoy boating, swim- ming, fishing, sailing, as well as one of the best windsurfing bays on Lake Winnipeg. In winter, “Ice Racing” provides thrills and some unexpected spills. The Longest Rock Contest (curling rock that is) added new excitement to the 1994 Wo.nderful Winter Weekend Camival. Ice fishing, cross country ski- ing, curling, snowmobiling and ice skat- ing rounds out winter activities. A Salute to Lundar by Harold and Rose Marie Johnson his last summer, Rose Marie and I were guests at the Chummy Sigurd- son home in Lundar, for two weeks, which allow- ed us to spend some quality time exploring and visiting friends and rela- tives. One of our most pleasant surprises, was the fine museum that the Lundar Community has established. We have seen a lot of museums in our travels and this one rates right up there with the best. It was most thrilling for us, as we saw pictures of friends and family, every where. It is always a wonderment to me, how so many things have sur- vived so well, over time. If only they could talk and tell us some of the good and bad times they have seen. The museum is made up of the old train station, which was raised and turned around to face the street. A church, some old homes and farm buildings have also been moved in to make up the museum compound. We were told that there were plans to add more buildings, farm equipment and railroad equipment, in the future. The museum is manned by young ladies, who were very courteous and knew their jobs very well. As we roamed through the old sta- tion, our guide informed us that they were still going through old pictures, Specializing in Winter Road Construction Road Construction Drainage Land Clearing Disking J.S.

We were able to help, as many of the photos were friends and relatives of Rose Marie’s family. As I was looking around in the rear of the station, I found but a picture of Rose Marie’s dad (Chris Melsted) on the wall, this was a real surprise as he was bom and raised in Ames. The pic- ture was of the B.J. Academy’s Graduation Class of 1925. This was a special surprise, as we weren’t aware of his graduation from this school. Through our guide we requested per- mission to have a negative made, which would require taking the picture to a photographer in Gimli. The museum’s directors granted us permission and we had a negative made. We retumed to the museum a few more times to enjoy the histoiy of the area. The Lundar Communities foresight to establish this gift to future genera- tions, is a wonderful achievement. Many communities wait too long and then it is too late, as historical trea- sures are lost. We sent our thanks to all those that made this possible, for all of us to see and enjoy. If you have not seen this museum, I recommend that you take a Sunday ride, or if you don’t live near by, tiy to put this on your travel agenda.
