SUBMITTED BY MINNEDOSA TOWN COUNCIL

The Minnedosa Regional Events Centre will be mov-

ing forward as a new single sheet arena, to be built at the MREC site. Th is is the direction that Council has been keying in on, pending receipt of the feasibil-ity study being conducted by J. Harper and Associates.

We have now received that study. Th e study addresses a number of areas. It has been pro-vided to Th e Tribune, and is avail-able for review on the Discover Minnedosa website. Anyone wishing to review it in detail can do so, however a brief summary follows:

ON THE NEED FOR A NEW FACILITY

Recommendation #1: Th at the Town of Minnedosa con-struct a new district recreation centre to replace the aging Minnedosa Arena and provide expanded recreation opportu-nities for the Town of Minnedo-sa and surrounding district. “Th e need to replace the sixty-seven year old Minnedosa Arena remains a critical chal-lenge for the community”

“Th e Minnedosa Arena has continued to deteriorate to a point where retrofi tting or repair no longer appears to be practi-cal. Th e challenge for the Town is to generate the necessary pub-lic and fi nancial support to build a new Minnedosa and District Recreation Centre.”

MREC Downsized and Moving Forward

By JENNIFER PAIGE

Less than a year after the Rapid City Town Of-

fi ce and Fire Hall were de-stroyed by fi re, construction is well underway on a new, larger structure that will be home to the Town’s fi re hall. “Th e fl oor has been poured, the walls are up and the roof trusses will be placed next week,” said Rapid City Mayor, Orest Wo-loski. Th e new structure is being constructed on the north side of Main Street, next to the Rapid City Li-brary. “We looked at four dif-ferent sites but selected this site as it was the best fi t for the size of building and en-able us to keep the hall on Main Street,” explained Wo-loski. Th e project has been tendered to Rapid City contractor, Leo vanVeen Carpentry Ltd. Th e new building will include an ad-ditional vehicle unit as well as a board room and extra offi ce for Town and rental use. Th e fi re department has also replaced all of the emergency response ve-hicles including a pumper truck, tanker and ambu-lance. “Financially we are on track. We were fortunate in receiving a number of pri-vate donations and then of course had insurance on the building. Anything further will come from the Fire De-partment’s reserve,” added Woloski. If all continues on schedule, the building is hoped to be ready for use by mid-October

Local farmer, business man and active com-

munity participant, Bob McNabb was recently honoured with an induc-tion into the Manitoba Agriculture Hall of Fame for his significant and lasting contributions to agriculture on a local and international scale. Born and raised on a farm in Minnedosa, McNabb attended the University of Manitoba obtaining a degree in ag-riculture with a major in animal science. While in post-sec-ondary, McNabb devel-oped another passion, aviation. He took flying lessons throughout his time at the U of M where he eventually obtained his commercial flying li-cence. Following his stud-ies, McNabb proceeded to spend eight years in Northern Saskatchewan where he worked as an operations manager and chief pilot for an aviation company. McNabb then re-turned to the Minnedo-sa area to run a mixed operation. In 1985, he switched his farm to deal

solely with grains. In 2005, McNabb moved from strictly zero till to a rotation with per-manent grasses for cus-tom grazing to determine what nutrients a pasture system would add to soil and how such a system would work under zero tillage. McNabb has worked with the Manitoba Pool Elevators on an environ-mental farm plan idea and was instrumental in setting up a zero till re-search farm in Manitoba. While making end-less contributions here in Manitoba, McNabb has also made impact on a national scale, spending time with his family in Zimbabwe working with CIDA funded projects with the organization of Collective Cooperatives. The projects focused on introducing conser-vation strategies to a third world country and monitor results. Working with many local people, McNabb helped to write manuals on conservation farming and zero tillage practices that are still be-ing utilized in the country today. Today McNabb and his wife, Elaine continue

to live near Minnedosa. The couple raised four children Dana, Lauren, Robert and Michael. He operates a 1,000-acre farm and has been com-mitted to zero tillage farming for 36 years and also owns and operates Minnagro Ltd., a small feed and farm supply business. Over his many years in the industry McNabb has received a number of awards and recogni-

tions for his contribu-tions including the L.B. Thomson Conserva-tion Award, Manitoba – North Dakota Zero Till-age Farmers Association Award, Agricultural In-stitute of Canada Recog-nition Award, the Little Saskatchewan River Con-servation District Farm Family of the Year Award and the Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce business owner of the year award.

McNabb also continues to be an active pilot, flying a northern-based aircraft, training and mentoring younger pilots through-out Manitoba, Saskatch-ewan, Northwest Territo-ries and Nunavut. Here at home, McNabb is an active vol-unteer with many hats. Over the years he has been involved with the Kinsmen Club, the Credit Union, 4-H, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank project and the St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. After being nomi-nated by the Manitoba-North Dakota Zero Till-age Farmers Association, McNabb was inducted into the Manitoba Ag Hall of Fame on July 17th in

Portage La Prairie. “Bob McNabb is an excellent example of con-tribution to agriculture that the Manitoba Ag-ricultural Hall of Fame strives to showcase,” commented Manitoba Ag Hall of Fame president, Brian Saunderson. “Bob’s commitment and innovative approach to zero tillage has estab-lished him as a leader and a cooperator in soil conservation and sus-tainable crop production. As well as the contribu-tion to agriculture, Bob and his wife Elaine have been community builders in the Minnedosa region, as well as far away com-munities through their international work.”

2014 inductees to the Manitoba Agriculture Hall of Fame (L-R): Don Kroeker of Winnipeg, Bill Siemens of Winkler, Ron Helwer of Brandon,

Bob McNabb of Minnedosa and Waldie Klassen of Steinbach.

The Minnedosa Fire de-partment recently re-

ceived a sizable donation from a local commodities dealer. Pictured are Michael Besser (R), Locations Man-ager with Delmar Com-modities of Newdale, pre-senting Mike Kowal (C) and Allan Betteridge (L), two of Minnedosa’s vol-unteer fi re fi ghters, with a cheque for $5,000.00. “Th e donation will be put towards covering the expense of new turn-out gear for our guys. We recently had to order six new sets, which will cost approximately $9,400.00,” explained Kowal. Similar to the sta-tion’s fi re trucks, turnout suits are mandated to be replaced every ten years. Th e Minnedosa fi re de-partment has been diligent in the ordering process

of equipment to ensure the replacement dates are spaced out and the crew of 22 doesn’t end up needing new turnout gear all in the same year. Th e fi re department

will also be working on funds for the purchase of a new pumper truck in the near future. Delmar Commodi-ties is privately owned and has been serving Western

Canadian farmers since 1995, handling a variety of western commodities in-cluding CWB grains, non-board feed products and oil seeds.

Medical Clinic Plans Continue to Progress

By JENNIFER PAIGE

A number of different groups including Town representatives, Regional Health Care Au-

thority members, private investors and prospec-tive builders continue to press forward with plans for a new medical clinic in Minnedosa. While the Town is in desperate need of a new, up-to-date medical clinic, finding the appropri-ate parties to bring the project to fruition is a challenge. The continued struggle of trying to keep doc-tors in the area for an extended period of time is also an obstacle invested parties are dealing with. However, Minnedosa Mayor Ray Orr is confident that the project will move forward and eventually bring the Town a new clinic. “We are continuing to press forward with this project. We are at a point now where we are sort-ing through proposed plans, in order to sort out final costs,” explained Orr. “The RHA has done some work for us in preparing some initial build-ing plans based on government standards.” A meeting will be held next week with mem-bers of the Town, the RHA and the prospective builder, in order to discuss ideas, costs and the path forward.

Views expressed in Letters to the Editor are those of the writer and are not necesarily the views of The Tribune, its owner or staff.

Hole in One… One of my former high school math teachers, Dale McFadden, had the honour of achieving a hole-in-one at the local golf course Monday. Dale got the shot on hole #14 from 189 yards using a driver. Th e shot was wit-nessed by Ralph and Wendall Laming.

Missing zero… It has been pointed out to me that my fi ngers skipped the “0” key while typing the Fun Fest Frenzy article for the July 18th edition. Th e grand prize of Minnedosa Money, won by Rylan Bilcowski, was $250.00 not $25.00. We understand Rylan has been doing some local shop-ping with his prize money and is saving some for a spe-cial item on his wish list!

EDO selected… Mayor Orr informed me earlier this week that the position for the interim Economic Development Offi -cer has been fi lled. After all applicant interviews were completed, Th e Town and CDC have chosen Mr. Martijn Vanluijn to fi ll the vacancy. Martijn is expected to start work shortly and watch for an introduction article in our paper in the following weeks.

Office supplies…Th e Tribune now carries a small line of various

school and offi ce supplies. Next time you are in our of-fi ce, check it out and watch for more items to be added as time goes by. Also watch for specials and deals from time to time.

Rockin’ Rodeo Weekend… Another busy weekend in Minnedosa is expected as Rockin’ the Fields and Minnedosa Rodeo return. Once again we are thankful to have dedicated volunteers re-sponsible for these events in our community and I en-courage you all to support and take in some rockin’ ro-deo action this weekend!

Dear Editor,

In the beginning of 2014 Conservative Party of Cana-

da send out a circular to mem-bers that the party would have open nominations in prepara-tion for the 2015 election. In June of this year a press release was send out stating that Harper had approximately 100 of his MPs nomi-nated. On that list is the name of the local MP Robert Sopuck. Did I miss something? Did anyone see, hear or read about an open nomination taking place in Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette? So how did Robert Sopuck get nominated in 2014? Th is will be the third time that Robert Sopuck has been named by his party without going through a nomina-tion process.

Robert Sopuck’s nomina-tion was really a rubber stamp of approval from his leader Stephen Harper. So much for democracy under Stephen Harper. I always thought that democracy should begin at home. Robert Sopuck has been a loyal mouthpiece for Stephen

Harper during his years in Ottawa. Do you want four more years of the same?

Sincerely,

Inky Mark, Former Member of Parliament,Dauphin, MB

Democracy Should Begin at Home

Now That’s Some RFM Dedication!

By putting your gifts to work,

Hello, and welcome back to the Cops’

Corner. I don’t know about you, but I am sick of the mosquitoes this year. Perhaps I was wrong to complain about the cold. Shame on me I suppose. Regardless, police have responded to 86 calls for service this time around. Police dealt with assault, dangerous driving, family relations, mental health, fi res, traffi c acci-dents, threats, theft, mis-chief, you know, the typical stuff . And who can forget suspicious people... we dealt with some of them too. Mischief has occurred on several occasions in the past several weeks. If you have any knowledge about

these, or any other crimes, let us know. A local male was found driving impaired in a vehicle early one morn-ing when police made a routine traffi c stop. He will be appearing in court to deal with his charges. Continue to help us out if you feel the neces-sity to. Individuals call to report various crimes and give us tips from time to time. We appreciate them

all, keep them coming. And now, what you re-ally came to read, a male from near Brandon was charged on Highway #10 by traffi c services this time around. You might call him our speeder of the week. Let’s explore the situa-tion. Th e 31-year-old was found doing 154km/hr in a 100km/hr zone. Lucky for him it wasn’t in the con-struction area where fi nes are worth much more! He

was charged with speed-ing and careless driving. MPI will likely revoke his license, and he will have one fi ne determined by a judge. Th e speeding ticket was $756.75! Ouch... right? Th at is the cost of acting completely reckless be-hind the wheel folks. And that’s all I have to say about that. Th ere you have it, an-other speeder of the week. Last but not least, let us have another safe year at Rockin’ the Fields. I look forward to working through the weekend and seeing some people enjoy-ing some good ol’ fashion rock and roll. And as Cst. Sample likes to say, have a good safe day. (for good mea-sure)

The Infrastructure and Transportation minis-

ter’s profi le on the NDP’s website states, “Our in-frastructure is key to our future economic growth.” Th is statement is yet an-other broken promise to the hundreds of Manito-bans with botched access to their towns, homes, and farms due to road washouts from this year’s fl ood. Th e Assiniboine River crest on July 9th was measured at 1,290.94 feet, which is ap-proximately 0.9 feet higher than the 2011 peak water level. Th is year’s fl ooding has caused the evacuation of 728 people from their homes and communities due to fl ooding. In Riding Mountain, residents are fi lling out applications for Disaster Financial Assistance with bated breath wondering if they will be receiving com-pensation from the Emer-gency Measures Organiza-tion (EMO). Virtually all Rural Mu-

nicipalities and First Na-tions in the constituency are aff ected by the fl ood-ing – some of which are still waiting for compensation from artifi cial fl ooding in 2011 due to the NDP’s mis-management of the Shell-mouth Dam. Th e roughly six dozen farmers throughout Mani-toba who were artifi cially fl ooded have been asked to sign waivers stating that they won’t sue the NDP government for compen-sation. Understandably, many area farmers are hes-itant to sign a waiver hav-ing not received an off er of settlement from EMO. Piecemeal fl ood pre-

vention eff orts by the NDP government have resulted in a deliberate breach in the Portage Diversion’s fail safe that has hurt farmers again this year. Manitobans are in need of a strong provincial

government that is pre-pared to respond to fl ood-ing. Stress and anxiety re-sources off ered by the NDP do nothing to bring comfort to the hundreds of Mani-tobans who are suff ering losses that could have been prevented with proper pre-cautionary measures. If you have any ques-tions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Contact information can be found in the Busi-ness Directory of this news-paper.

The Minnedosa Centen-nial Handivan Associ-

ation is pleased to present its fi rst “driver incentive” cheque in the amount of $500.00 to the Minnedosa Rotary Club. Th e Handivan Associ-ation continues to struggle with driver shortages and is presently NOT able to provide handivan service to our community every

fourth week. In an eff ort to obtain more volunteer drivers, the Association off ered an incentive to the community, businesses and clubs off ering to give a charity/organization of their choice $1,000.00 to anyone agreeing to be-come a handivan driver for one year. $500.00 pay-able in the beginning and the remainder to be paid after the year is completed.

Many local seniors live with the notion

that it is just easier to stay home than struggle to get out and about. And while transportation for the ag-ing and disabled has its challenges, the benefi ts of getting out and interacting with the community are a vital necessity to a healthy wellbeing. Recently a number of local stakeholders opened the discussion on senior’s transportation issues in Minnedosa in the hopes of developing some solutions and new ideas surround-ing local transportation options for the communi-ty’s aging residents. Gina Sylvestre, found-ing member of TONS—Transportation Options Network for Seniors—and Pam McConnell, coordi-nator for TONS, met with a concerned group of local seniors at the 50+ Centre, to discuss issues surround-ing rural transportation and mobility in our com-munity.

“Th ere are many is-sues surrounding trans-portation for seniors in ru-ral Manitoba. Th e number one concern is in regard to fi nding transportation to health appointments,” commented Maxine Woodcock, resource co-ordinator with Minnedo-sa Services to Seniors. Th roughout the meet-ing many concerns regard-ing mobility in our own community were raised, noting that accessibility for handi-capped or mobility impaired citizens is some-thing that needs to be ad-dressed. “Something as simple as a one-inch diff erence between the sidewalk and entry to a building can make it impossible for a scooter to enter, or is a tripping hazard. Business owners are encouraged to make entryways safe and install a ramp to overcome this problem. Automatic doors are ideal and allow hands-free access. Th e Province of Manitoba has passed a Barrier-Free law which will help to alleviate

this problem,” explained Sylvestre. Attendees discussed the lack of well-marked sidewalks both in town and on the beach road. Crossing lights were men-tioned as an ideal solution that would hopefully en-courage drivers to stop at those crosswalks. A few attendees noted that many streets do not have sidewalks and many of the sidewalks in place are not scooter/wheel-chair/walker friendly. In some places, there is a sharp drop off the end of the walk. Mobility in the winter months was also raised as a concern. Some facili-ties and businesses do not clear the snow and ice from handicapped parking stalls and walkways. Many sidewalks are not cleared, and this means many with mobility issues become isolated. Discussion was held in regard to use of our lo-cal handivan which still faces the problems of hav-ing a lack of volunteer driv-

ers and not always being available. Discussion also focused on the fact that many residents are liv-ing on a fi xed income and cannot pay high prices for transportation to out-of-town appointments. Pam McConnell, Co-ordinator for TONS (Trans-portation Options Net-work for Seniors) referred to the Park’n Ride Service in Winnipeg as an option. McConnell has agreed to provide more informa-

tion on this service to Minnedosa and District Services to Seniors. From the discussion at the meeting, it was in-dicated that there is a clear need for public clarifi ca-tion on whom and when the handivan is accessible. Th e Handivan board may also be looking to alter its constitution in order to better serve seniors. “In the future the Handivan will be working with the TONS coordina-

tors in order to streamline senior’s transportation options,” commented Len Luker, co-chair of the Han-di van board. TONS coordinators will also continue to work with the various boards in Minnedosa to assist them in learning, and gathering information on the direc-tions that can be taken to open the doors to senior transportation options.

Florida visited recently with her parents, Syd and Marie Cardy, relatives and friends. Congratulations to Bob McNabb of Minnedo-sa who was inducted into the Agriculture Hall of Fame on July 17th, at Por-tage la Prairie, MB. Th at

same evening, Bob, Elaine and family hosted a “Re-tirement Party” for friends and relatives. A number of folks from Basswood and surrounding areas of Minnedosa attended. Bob and Elaine are wished good luck as they embark on a new chapter in their life as they retire from the farm. Congratulations to Susan Proven and Enid

Clark of Newdale who received an award from the Provincial Council of Women of Manitoba. Harvey and Susan Stevens of Winnipeg were Monday visitors with Susan Proven. On the July 25th-27th weekend, approximate-ly fi fty descendents of William Alexander and Sarah (Fraser) Ross gath-ered at the Onanole Rec.

Centre. Th e enjoyable weekend included a boat ride on the “Marttice” on Clearlake, tours of the cemeteries and farms of former and present Ross families, visiting, food and music. Folks came from Cali-fornia and Michigan, USA, Ontario, B.C., Montreal, Alberta and various places in Manitoba. As a note of interest,

congratulations are ex-tended to Kyle Shewfelt of Calgary, AB who was in-ducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame in June. Kyle is the son of Wes and Nola Shewfelt. Recent visitors with the Stan Firby’s were Mike and Marla Pearce and family and Ron and Margaret Sweet all of Cal-gary, AB.

“Recreation Facili-ties, parks and programs provide social, environ-mental and economic benefits to users and non-users alike and contrib-ute to both community and social development. Arenas are part of the cul-tural fabric of Canadian Communities”. R e c o m m e n d a t i o n #2: That the existing Minnedosa Arena be decommissioned and replaced with a new Minnedosa and District Recreation Centre locat-ed on the grounds desig-nated for construction of the MREC Centre on 6th Avenue N.W.

IMPLEMENTATION

“The objective of de-veloping a Minnedosa and District Recreation Centre is to meet a broad-er range of recreation

needs and serve more than just indoor ice users. It is also planned as a re-gional facility to serve res-idents living in surround-ing communities. Due to the high cost of develop-ment, the planned facility may need to be developed in phases if fundraising targets are not met in the short term. If that were the case, there are three compo-nents that could be built in two or three distinct phases. Th e three compo-nents are an indoor are-na, a fi tness centre and a community lounge/multi-purpose centre”. Th e fi rst phase would be the arena. “Th ere is an urgent need to replace the old arena or current users could be without a conve-nient indoor ice facility to serve their needs”. “Th e fi tness facilities and community lounge spaces are lower priori-ties because the co-op fi t-ness centre is a successful

operation in an accept-able facility that should continue to be available over the mid-term future. Th e community lounge and MPR spaces are seen as complimentary to the development of an over-all complex rather than “stand alone” amenities that are in high demand. Th ey do however play an important role providing community recreation opportunities and social gathering places for non-ice users”. Part of the fi tness fa-cilities contemplated is a walking track. Council believes this should be in-corporated into phase one if at all possible. Council also believes that a “design build” ap-proach should be pursued such that we will not be re-quired to designate funds for plans as was previously the case.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS

Harper and Asso-ciates have developed a “magnitude of costs” which attempt to account for such things as con-struction delays, infl ation, material costs etc. Details are available in the report. Th e totals are: Arena enclosure: $9,308,886, Fitness Centre/Track $2,208,368, Community Lounge/MPR $636,543. Total: $12,153,797.

FINANCING

There is a detailed discussion of financing in the report. It needs to be noted that when ex-amining the impact on taxes, one thing that is not taken into account is the $300,000/year the Town has been putting into re-serve since 2009, each year except 2014 when there was a temporary re-duction to $100,000. That $300,000 will significantly mitigate any impact. The report notes that normally financing comes from the three lev-els of government, mu-nicipal, provincial and federal, and from private and corporate donations. There has been prec-edent for the two senior levels of government to each contribute 1/3 of the cost. However there is also precedent for less, to the extent that we should not rely on that.

At the Federal level: At the moment as noted in the report, “there do not appear to be any di-rect federal government recreation infrastructure funding programs avail-able on a cost shared ba-sis for local governments”. “The Gas Tax fund and the incremental GST re-bate for Municipalities has been expanded to include recreation, tour-ism, culture and sport. In Minnedosa, gas tax fund-ing is relatively small and is currently committed to other infrastructure proj-ects”. “The limited avail-ability of federal infra-structure funding for rec-reation seriously impacts the feasibility of major capital projects and puts more of the responsibil-ity on local governments that have limited flexibili-ty and resources on which to draw”. From the Town’s point of view, we would hope that this current di-rection of the federal gov-ernment will not contin-ue and that at some point in the near future, condi-tions will once again per-mit funding in the area of recreation infrastructure.

At the Provincial lev-el: There are programs in place. The Town needs to work with the Province to seek out the maximum

that could be available.At the Municipal lev-

el: Funding comes from three sources: Private and corporate as well as “in kind” donations, al-location of town funds to a reserve and borrowing through a debenture. At the moment over $2.5 million has been raised through donations and through the reserve. The amount required to debenture will be de-pendent upon the level of funding from the senior levels of government and upon the amount that can be finally raised through donations. Of course we would hope to keep the debenture number as low as possible.

MOVING FORWARD

Harper and As-sociates states: “The Minnedosa and District Recreation Centre Fea-sibility Study recom-mends that if there is a clear indication the Town can achieve its funding goals, it should proceed with the phase one arena component of the proj-ect, decommission the Minnedosa Arena and develop the new facility on the MREC site”. Now that we have this feasibility study with its recommendations, we can proceed. As with most things, money is going to be the main determinant of what can be done.We will approach the Province through the Manitoba Building Fund and then we will start the debenture process through the Manitoba Municipal Board.At the same time we will keep our ear to the ground for any rumblings that might signal a shift in approach by the federal government. Once these factors are firmed up, and we have a better idea of how much additional funding is required, we will re-start the local fundraising campaign. Hopefully we can get construction under way sooner rather than later, and build a facility that we can all be proud of and that will meet our needs for years to come.

ITS BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY!

When the project was first begun, there was a vision for a two-sheet fa-cility. It was intended to bring many benefits to the community. It would be at a “ready to build stage” so that there would be no impediments when government funding be-came available. To that end plans were devel-oped and were ready to go. Unfortunately, things changed, and the vision came to be seen as not feasible. A number of people tried very hard to do something good for the community, and at that level, it just didn’t work out. So where are we now? We have a feasibility study that directs and supports us as noted above. That study will be a pivotal document in our quest to proceed. We have raised over 2.5 million dollars toward this project. We hope that once we have nailed down what we’re building and for how much, a re-surgence in support will be forthcoming. If you have a look at the grounds, you’ll see that soccer and baseball have done a phenomenal amount of work on their respective areas. Rodeo and the Agriculture Soci-ety will be upgrading as well. We can see that this is going to develop into a multi-purpose regional facility that we can all be proud of. We extend our thanks to all those who have con-tributed to this project, and in particular to the MREC committees that have worked so hard to move it forward. Let’s continue our push to get this done. Let’s stay behind it and support it, and get it done as well and as quickly as we reasonably can.

I am interested in providing Palliative Care. I have 30 years experience and have taken the Palliative Care course.

Two local ladies were honoured recently

by the Provincial Coun-cil of Women of Manitoba (PCWM) Inc. During the eighth annual Celebrat-ing Women Gala held on July 8th in Winnipeg, Susan Proven and Enid Clark were honoured for their work, volunteerism and leadership.

Susan Proven – Susan is a Professional home Economist and member of the Manitoba

Association of Home Econ-omists (MAHE). She is ac-tive with MAHE programs and events in southwest Manitoba, most recently as a judge for the MAHE award to young scientists at the Western Manitoba Science Fair. Since coming to a farm near Minnedosa from the city 40 years ago, Susan has worked in paid and unpaid positions in almost every community in Manitoba. In the 80’s she did member recruitment for the National Farmers Union (FNU) in Manitoba

communities and then met and worked with farm women across Canada on NFU projects of interest to farm women. From 1992 until 2004, Susan worked for CBC Radio Noon as a freelance documentary broadcaster, producing programs on individuals or groups in small rural communities who initiated new ideas with limited resources. In 2006, at the request of the Minister of Agricul-ture, Rosann Wowchuk, Susan facilitated consulta-tions in rural and northern communities to explore adding value to Manito-ba’s natural, cultural and physical resources. Th e result was a report with recommendations iden-tifying opportunities and addressing barriers that hinder these opportuni-ties. In 2007, she moderat-ed a panel at the Enterpris-ing Women’s Conference which showcased farm women as entrepreneurs. In 2009 Susan spoke at travel Manitoba’s Tour-ism Conference, on im-plementing sustainable practices to green your business. Her own busi-ness, Fairmount Bed and Breakfast, was nominat-ed for a Manitoba Tour-ism Award in Sustainable Tourism. For the last fi ve years, Susan has been teaching food preservation skills to people in communities within the Prairie Moun-tain and Central Health Authorities. As a member of the Manitoba Public Utilities

Board she chairs water and sewer rate hearings, help-ing local governments, mostly in small rural com-munities, meet the de-mands of their customers for safe and adequate wa-ter and sustainable utility operations. In her community of Minnedosa, she serves on the board of the Minnedo-sa Museum and Heritage Village.

Enid Clark – Born and raised in Newdale, MB, Enid developed inter-ests that served as build-ing blocks for her life-time – sports, music and church. Graduating as an RN from Winnipeg Gen-eral, her career began at Minnedosa Hospital. After her marriage to Gordon, she became an active farm

wife, mother to David and Donna, Head Leader in the 4-H Club, a competi-tive curler and involved in many activities of a small community. She returned to her nursing career at Minnedosa Personal Care Home, retiring after 20 years. Enid gave much to her community. For 25 years she organized the com-munity cancer canvass. Th e Meals for Seniors Pro-gram which she instigated allowed seniors to have nutritious meals enabling them to remain in their own homes longer. Enid helped draft a constitution for the new RHA. Performing arts are also a passion. Enid has been a part of the Strath-clair Dinner Chorus 1995-2014 and the Strathclair

Drama Club since 1996. Women’s Institute is an important personal fo-cus. She joined the New-dale Ravens Glen Club serving as President and served as SWA Treasurer and Provincial President 2008-2010. She took the organization through its 100 year celebrations and now serves as government appointed representative. Her leadership in MWI is much appreciated. Church service, writ-ing the weekly Newdale News, the 125th Celebra-tions committee, and Newdale Historical So-ciety all benefi tted from Enid’s skill. Her profes-sionalism, energy and car-ing are hallmarks of her service to her family, com-munity and organizations like MWI.

The Minnedosa Personal Care Home has been gather-ing funds for the purchase of a tandem bike that will

allow wheelchair-bound residents the ability to go for a bike ride. On Th ursday, July 17th members of the Knights of Co-lumbus Parkland Council #6815 presented the PCH with a donation of $1,000.00 for the tandem bike. “We are getting very close to reaching our goal for the bike. I believe that it has been ordered to our specifi ca-tions. I think that it will be a really great thing for our resi-dents,” commented care team member, Melissa Griffi n. Th e tandem bike combines the latest cycling technol-ogy with advanced wheelchair designs and will allow cy-clists to easily communicate and supervise the wheelchair passenger while facing forward.

Dear Reena, I use pens that require refi lls. Last two worked for a while and then stopped working. Th e store clerk suggested warming them; they worked briefl y and then stopped. Is there any-thing else that I can do? Refi lls aren’t cheap! Dawn

Dear Dawn, I agree that refi lls are not cheap. Since there are thousands of diff erent types of pens and refi lls, your best bet is to contact the manufacturer of the

pen instead of talking with the salesperson. Warming the pen tip with a candle fl ame is typically the best way to get ink fl owing but this should be longer last-ing then a few uses (and risky as it could damage the pen tip). If the manu-facturer does not give you a satisfactory answer, you may want to consider changing pen brands.

Dear Reena, How can I remove shoe polish from carpet? Norma

Dear Norma, Wash the area with heavy-duty laundry de-tergent. If unsuccessful, apply glycerine and leave for 1 hour. Wash with warm water. When shoe polish stains won’t budge, clean with one of the fol-lowing: Rubbing alcohol, Goo Gone or Spot Shot for carpets these are great op-tions.

Dear Reena, I am not only getting tired of replacing numer-ous plug-in air fresheners around my home but it is also becoming expensive. Do you have a recipe for homemade air fresheners? Ruth

Dear Ruth, Here is a very simple air freshener that you can make yourself. In a spray bottle mix half cup rub-

bing alcohol, one cup wa-ter and ten drops lemon essential oil. Spray room as needed. You can even add a few drops of this recipe to your vacuum bag. Also, placing sprigs of euca-lyptus around your home will leave you with a nice aroma. Or place a bowl of vanilla in rooms that need freshening. Another option is to purchase a catalytic lamp, although a little pricey, it lasts. Th ese fragrance lamps are said to actually purify the air, eliminate unpleasant odors and leave behind wonderful fragrances that will fi ll your home or of-fi ce. One more solution, I love the smell of beeswax candles, what a wonder-ful scent when lit. Th is is another great way to make a room smell nice with-out adding a bunch of un-healthy toxins into the air.

A number of local Spe-cial Olympics five-

pin bowling athletes have returned home with a few medals in tow after an ex-citing trip to Vancouver for the National Summer Games. Th e Summer Games were held at the Univer-sity of British Columbia in Vancouver on July 8th to July 12th. A thousand and three hundred athletes were in attendance along with 700 coaches and team support members. Manitoba Special Olympics had 91 partici-pating athletes in 11 dif-ferent sports and brought home 76 medals—29 gold, 20 silver and 27 bronze.

“We had an awesome time. Th e athletes really enjoyed the experience. It was a lot of activity in a short period of time but they all did really well and even came home with a few medals,” commented Trudy Adamson, Special Olympics volunteer coach who attended the games. Th e Men’s fi ve-pin bowling team claimed the gold, while both the mixed and ladies teams brought home bronze. “Eight out of fifteen of our athletes came home with two medals from the team event as well as the individual events. They all had a great time just being involved but it is always more exciting for them when they win,”

added Adamson. Members of the lo-cal group, Lucy Cassels received a silver medal in the individual event with a score of +76. Dwayne Petch also earned a silver medal with a score of +77. Athletes in atten-dance were also able to take part in some extra ac-tivities including a dance and a health living expo where health specialists were available for free consultations. With the bowling sea-son wrapped up for now, Adamson will be running a summer Special Olym-pics golf program Tues-day evenings until the end of August.

Crops throughout much of the South Parkland

region continued to show signifi cant improvement as a result of the continued mild and somewhat drier weather experienced over this past week. Rainfall amounts ear-lier in the week throughout much of the region were

variable ranging from 5-15 mm and were generally viewed as favourable for crop development. Temperatures in par-ticular continue to be ideal for crops that are now well into the critical reproduc-tive and fi lling stage of their development. Although the poten-tial for 2013 average yields has been lost due to the excess moisture and fl ood-ed acres, those with crops remaining and who have managed disease are now anticipating at least aver-age and perhaps in the case of wheat acres even above average yields.

2014 Manitoba Seeded Acres

Th e 2014 Manitoba Seeded Acres were re-leased by MASC late last week and with it the mag-nitude and extent of the unseeded acres were real-ized with drops in all the major cereals and canola acres. Th e too-wet-to-seed acres were reported to be at 980,000 acres. Crops with increases were led by dry beans and soybeans coming in at 155 and 125% of 2013 acres with soy-beans setting a new record for acreage at 1.3 million acres. Th e continued surge in soybean acres has been mainly due to their perfor-

mance under conditions of excess moisture and their continued level of profi tability given average yields. Other crops with in-creases included fl ax, sun-fl owers, fi eld peas and pe-rennial rye grass.

Field Pea Production

Growers of fi eld peas continue to be frustrated as to why and when their crops might succumb to root rot. A rotation of one in four or one in fi ve years no longer seems suffi cient to keep this devastating disease in check. Seed treatments seem to be simply over-whelmed by the disease under cool wet soil conditions. Th e disease is fi rst initiated at the seedling stage of de-velopment under condi-tions of excess moisture and cool soils especially in fi elds with a history of fi eld pea production. Th e more cycles and

frequency of fi eld peas in the rotation the greater seems to be the level of the root rot complex in the soil. Th e root rot fi rst seems to take hold when the excess moisture inhibits or pre-vents proper nodulation of the pea plant. Complicating matters at this stage is the neces-sary application of her-bicides for weed control which further stresses the plant and further inhibits nodule development. Th e lack of nodulation results in a nitrogen defi ciency and a weak stressed plant unable to grow through the root disease and recover from the herbicide appli-cation. At this point rotations may need to be length-ened to perhaps one in six and perhaps even one in eight years before the level of this particular root rot complex drops to an ac-ceptable level. Ultimately longer rota-tions, improved seed treat-

ments and drier conditions at emergence through to herbicide timing are go-ing to be needed for more stable and predictable pea production.

Wheat Midge Update

Since we have now surpassed the 800 GDD throughout much of South Parkland the emergence of the female wheat midge will now be peaking. Th e level of Macroglenes pen-etrans, the main parasitoid of wheat midge should also be peaking as well. Th ere should be greater than 90% emergence of Macroglenes penetrans at peak emer-gence of the female wheat midge. Data from the Ca-nadian Grain Commission seems to validate this in-formation in that although Manitoba has only minimal insecticidal spraying for wheat midge when com-pared to Saskatchewan our downgrading due to wheat midge is at similar levels.

Bleached Canada Thistles

Th e good news in re-gards to cool wet springs is that it increases the chanc-es of a disease infecting and injuring Canada this-tle. Th e most common is a disease called Pseudo-monas syringae pv. tagetis, PST for short. Th is disease is a bacteria that naturally occurs in the eastern prai-ries which infects Canada thistle shoots. While it can also infect many other broadleaf species in the sunfl ower family, it is most commonly found on Cana-da thistle. Symptoms of infection are a distinct bleached or white color of the shoot. Infected shoots have slow-er development and can increase the mortality of Canada thistle popula-tions. Th e severity of the in-fection is dependent upon how virulent is the strain of PST.

Ag Report... 980,000 Acres Too Wet To Seed

I love cooking with fresh local ingredients and there is no better time of year than the summer to do this.

Many restaurants will also switch up their menus to cel-ebrate local harvests as well. One of my favourite new menu selections (when we do go out) is the Prawn and Brie Flatbread at my local White Spot Restaurant here in British Columbia. I have contacted them and they were honoured to share the recipe with me from their Cel-ebrate BC summer menu, and today I pass this on to you. I hope you enjoy it! Wherever you live, I encourage you to visit neigh-bourhood restaurants that embrace the local produce/ingredients in your area.

Prawn and Brie Flatbread

“Recipe courtesy of White Spot Executive Chef, Dan-ny Markowicz, has been modifi ed for you to be able to enjoy at home. Makes 4 fl atbreads” 1/2 cup olive oil 1 tsp garlic, fi nely chopped 1 tsp chili fl akes 6 slices bacon, 1/4 inch pieces 8 pieces baby zucchini, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise 1/2 tsp white balsamic vinegar 1/2 tsp olive oil Pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper 16 prawns, cut in half lengthwise

1/2 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp olive oil Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper 4 Flatbreads (Naan bread works great, or your favourite pizza crust) 16 slices Brie, thinly sliced 1/2 cup Mozzarella, shredded 6 Heirloom Tomatoes, cut in half

Heat 1/2 cup light olive oil over medium heat and add 1 tsp chopped garlic and chili fl akes. When garlic is just starting to turn golden, remove from the heat and al-low to cool. Set this chili oil aside. Add the bacon pieces to a pan and slowly cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t clump together. When the bacon is crispy around the edges, re-move from heat, cool and drain excess fat. Set these ba-con bits aside. Dress the zucchini with the white balsamic vinegar and 1/2 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and fresh cracked black pepper. BBQ over high heat, placing them fl at side down. Th is will give nice charred marks and will look and taste great on your fl atbread. Set aside this as well. Season the prawns with a touch of oil, lemon juice and fresh cracked black pepper. Set aside. To assemble, lay the fl atbread bases out on a clean countertop, and add 1 tbsp. of reserved chili oil to each one, spreading the oil out right to the edges. Add the sliced brie and mozzarella cheese, followed by the re-served bacon bits, trying to spread the ingredients out evenly. Arrange the reserved grilled zucchini overtop, showing off the nice grill marks. Add the reserved sea-soned/raw prawns, but don’t overlap them so they cook evenly. Finally, cut some small beautiful local heirloom tomatoes in half and place them attractively over the top. If you like, a little salt and pepper on the tomatoes makes them sing... Bake at 400°F for 6-8 minutes until the fl at-bread base is crisp, the prawns are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

Darren William Gusdal December th, - June st,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my partner of 36 years at the Brandon Palliative Care Centre. Darren was born to Leonard and Doris Gusdal. He was raised in Winnipeg, Bran-don and Erickson, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his father Leonard in 2000. Darren’s passion was sports. He started hockey at the late age of

10. Although many of his friends had skated at a much earlier age, Darren’s speed on ice was something that amazed others and that

he was extremely proud of. He played midget hockey in Minnedosa, where he met many of his lifelong friends. His hockey career pro-

gressed to the Brandon Travelers (1977) and the following season he joined the Brandon Wheat Kings (1978-1980). He was very proud that he was part of the Wheaties 1979 run to the Memorial Cup fi nal. In 2007 the team was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame. After the Wheat Kings Darren attended Brandon University and was a member of the university’s hockey team (1980-1983), during that time the team advanced to the CIAU fi nals. He graduated from BU in 1984 with a Bachelor of Education and began his teaching career with the Rolling River School Division. Darren was a complete athlete. Besides hockey he loved baseball. In 1973 he represented Mani-toba in the base running competition at the Montreal Olympic Stadium. In later years he won the 1983 senior batting title and rookie of the year awards with the Elphinstone Outlaws. In 1992 Darren sought a change from teaching and a new challenge presented itself, managing Riding Mountain Conference Centre and Camp Wannakumbac. Darren and Janet recently cele-brated 20 years of management, something he was incredibly proud of. His life revolved around camp. During his years at camp he was able to add three new buildings while maintaining qual-ity facilities for all camp clients. Darren had an impact on all that worked here especially during summer camp times. Many camp counselors, kitchen staff , medical staff , secretaries and main-tenance workers came through over his 20 years. Many had a coff ee with him, one of Darren’s favourite things while sitting on the deck overlooking beautiful Clear Lake. One of Darren’s loves was boating and water skiing on Clear Lake. Darren took every opportun-ity to be out on the lake in his boat whenever he could. Darren’s winter passion was downhill skiing, a sport he enjoyed with his children. His last skiing adventure was just this past January with his brother in law and nephew in Jasper National Park. When he wanted to escape from the cold, he looked to Maui to spend treasured times with both family and friends. Darren believed in community service. He actively participated on the Board of Directors for the Erickson Credit Union. Prior to that, he was an active member on the Onanole Community Recreation Centre board. Darren is survived by his wife Janet (Lewandoski) who he met in 1978 at Clear Lake and married on July 20th, 1985. Th ey have 2 children; Mitchell and Melissa. A private family service was held June 28th. A memorial service to celebrate Darren’s life will be held at Camp Wannakumbac on Saturday August 23rd at 2:00 p.m. Donations in Darren’s memory can be made to the Camp Wannakumbac Legacy Fund, Box 125, Onanole, MB.

Th e Santa Clara All-Star team ended up 1-2 in the championship’s round robin with a 10-9 loss to Brandon, a 15-4 loss to Elmwood, and claim-ing one win against St. James—the eventual tour-nament champions. Th e Santa Clara All-Star team came in third in their pool but did not ad-vance to playoff s. “It was a good week-end considering how
