Drum roll please! Envelope - and now CSB's first annual, "Person of the Year Award" goes to .....

HIS HONOUR MR. JUSTICE JOHN A. MENZIES!
Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench

OTTAWA, October 7, 1998 - The Honourable Anne McLellan, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, today announced the following appointments.

The Honourable Mr. Justice John A. Menzies, a judge of the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba (Family Division) in Brandon, is appointed a judge of the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba in Winnipeg. He replaces Mr. Justice V. Simonsen, who resigned.

Mr. Justice Menzies graduated in law from the University of Manitoba in 1980 and was called to the Bar of Manitoba in 1981. Before his appointment to the Court of Queen's Bench (Family Division) in 1996, Mr. Justice Menzies practised law with the firm of Johnson & Company.

Tansi/Good Day Folks:

This one was a slam dunk! Justice Menzies for his handling of the trial against The Honourable W. Yvon Dumont. His best line, no doubt delivered during a brief moment of extreme frustration with the Plaintiffs and particularly their Counselor:

"Not one witness has come into the courtroom to show how this man (Mr. Dumont) caused any harm to the Metis National Council!"

That says it all! There were many honourable mentions. Here's a few "arranged" in no particular order:

ANDERS BRUUN
JEFF NIEDERHOFFER
MADAM JUSTICE DEBORAH J. McCAWLEY, Q.C.
W. YVON DUMONT

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Note: A special message for Mr. Ernie Todd!

Dear Mr. Todd:

We're very sorry indeed but we had to make some really tough choices for our Person of the Year Award, however, at least you were one of the final cuts. So the least we can do is give you a larger picture than some of those clowns above you.

Please don't send over Buddy to put CyberSmokeBlog in one of his famous half-Nelson's! Let us know about your next card and we'll post it.

The BIG KAHUNA'S 18 inchers -Yikes!
