Loves to dance by Jasmine Hamel

Dancing has always been something I loved. I started dancing when I was four in St. Albert and con - tinued to dance with the Reston Dance Club.

Recently, I began to dance with Marley’s Dance Effex. Marley teaches dance in Manor, Radville and at her main studio in Weyburn. My dance group in Manor has students from Carlyle, Storthoaks, Wawota, Arcola, Manor, Kipling and Reston. There are about 60 stu - dents that dance out of Manor. This past year was the fourth year Marley taught this group of students.

I came across Marley’s Dance Effex when I attended her dance camp in the summer of 2013. I then made the decision to dance with her that year. She

tunity’s to dance with the team group out of Weyburn. This team group had recently danced in the Disney parade during the 2013 dance season. I audi - tioned for the team and earned a spot on Marley’s Team Effex. This team practises in Weyburn once

a month. While I was a part of

the team group, we trav - elled to Minneapolis to attended the Jump Dance Convention. I had the opportunity to be taught by famous choreog - raphers including Andrew

Winghart, Misha Gabriel, Wildabeast, Mandy Moore and many more.

Every year, with both dance groups, I travel to different competitions throughout Saskatchewan including Regina, Yorkton, Swift Current,

Moose Jaw, Weyburn, and Ogema. This year, I danced five dances with the Manor group, two dances with the Team Effex, and also a tap solo. At the Regina competi - tion this season, my hip- hop group, won the most

outstanding hip-hop award. We finished the dance season with our recital on May 3.

At the Library by Elizabeth Martin

Summer is upon us and with warmer weather comes dreams of that perfect vacation, good barbecue and late nights out by the fire. What else compliments a relaxing day out in the sun with a good book? Good food! With this in mind, the Library has some great cookbooks to start the summer off right.

First and foremost, we’re happy to have Angela Liddon’s incredibly popular release “ The Oh She Glows Cookbook” . Filled with fantastic vegan recipes, this is a good place to start if you’re looking to try an alternative (and delicious) diet.

“ Clean Slate: A Cookbook and Guide ” by the editors of Martha Stewart Living provides a great, nutritionally sound layout for food that nourishes the mind and body, information on how to re-stock your pantry with whole grains, legumes, lean proteins and healthy fats and menus for cleanses and detoxes. If you’re looking for good old comfort food, don’t worry, “ Rachel Ray’s 365: No Repeats ” has more than enough 30-minute meals to try this summer and the rest of the year.

If, after all that good food, you’re looking for some DIY inspiration, Sherry and John Petersik’s New York Times best - seller “ Young House Love ” is a great place to start. Filled with hundreds of fun and deceptively easy tips for sprucing up every room in the house, you’ll learn, amongst other things, how to build your own headboard and pick a paint colour you actually like. Maybe gardening is more your thing? Then try the “ Garden-pedia” ! An A-to-Z guide to gardening terms, it’s a great refresher or an even better beginner’s manual.

Last, but definitely not least, we have two worthwhile reads: Lisa Genova’s “Still Alice” and Marja Mills’ “The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee” .

A sometimes very heavy read, “ Still Alice ” was the basis for the recently released movie of the same name starring Julianne Moore. The novel follows the character of Alice Howland as she develops early-onset Alzheimer’s and her struggles to maintain relationships with her family and the rest of the world.

Our second pick, “The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee ”, Chicago Tribune journalist Marja Mills’ account of her time spent with the reserved and private Harper Lee, author of “To Kill a Mockingbird ” and her sister Alice Finch Lee and with it comes the account of her time spent with the Lee sisters, what they told her about their upbringing and how “To Kill a Mockingbird ” changed their lives.

We’ll be receiving new books throughout the summer months, so feel free to pop in and give our newest selections a browse. We’ll also be posting details about the upcoming 2015 TD Summer Reading Club around town, in the paper and on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/restonanddistrict - library, so keep an eye out for the exciting news!

Sabres rugby girls second in Province by Glen Kirby

The Souris Sabres varsity girls rugby team had an unblemished record this season until last weekend’s Provincial final. The girls fell 29-20 to defending champions Sisler and captured silver in the 2015 Manitoba High School Provincials in Winnipeg.

“ Our girls really outplayed them, ” says Sabres coach, Brian Yon. “ We enjoyed the majority of possession but Sisler had a couple of players who really changed the game. ”

The Sabres went undefeated in regular league play, capturing their 10th Westman High School rugby title in 13 seasons and earning a spot in the four team Provincials played at St. Paul’s High School in Winnipeg.

Yon says the Sabres rolled past Vincent Massey Collegiate 27-0 in their opening match, earning a spot in the title game. Sisler Spartans beat Minnedosa to advance.

“ Sisler is the largest high school by population in Manitoba, ” says Yon. “ We were a small group but a special group, a great bunch to coach and work with. ”

Sabres Kaylee Butterfield, Kristin Kirkpatrick, Kendra Roberts and Janaye Wurtz each contributed tries in the final.

Souris girls have dominated provincial play since the rugby program was introduced in 2003, capturing six gold medals in 13 years. 2016 may prove to be a rebuilding year for the squad which is losing seven of 16 players, including Charlotte West who will be attending university in Toronto and has signed a letter of intent to play with the York University Lions.

Tiger Talk by Meghan Caldwell

We are very busy here at Reston School as we kick off the beginning of June. It appeared everyone who participated in the Family Fun Day at the Park on Saturday had lots of fun. Thanks to the Student Council for organizing the activi - ties.

The Amazing Race was won by the Reston Drugs team. Team Hatrick Swayze won the road hockey tour - nament. The student council raised approxi - mately $600 from event entries and the pancake breakfast. Appreciation is extended to the Reston Rec crew of Tara, Meghan and Nicole for the kids activities, to sponsors Sunrise Credit Union, Reston Drugs, Reston Fine Foods, Dennis County, Hairline, Reston Memorial Theatre and everyone that made an effort to support the day.

The Grade 12 stu - dents wrote their Provincial English exam this week. The next Provincial exam will be Grade 12 pre- calculus on June 9. Last day of regular classes for Grade 7 - 12 is Monday, June 15, with a reminder that final exams begin Tuesday, June 16.

The Senior Track and Field participants did well at Zones in Brandon. Stephanie Gervin qualified for Provincials in 400m, long jump and triple

jump; Brayden Gervin qualified in 100m, 200m and shot put for Special Olympics; Eric Purvis qualified for tri - ple jump; John Patmore qualified in long jump, 100m and shot put. John is the only student who chose to continue on to Provincials in Winnipeg, June 4-6.

On June 11, there will be a Spring Band Concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. here at Reston School. There will be performances by the Grade 7 and 8 band, the senior band class and the school choir. The 2017 Travel Club will be holding a bar - becue starting at 6:30 p.m., before the concert begins.

Looking Good Communities in Bloom was responsible for

replacing the bulletin board on Main Street in Reston this past week. Brian Zarn built it and Keith Smeltz volunteered his time to help Brian install it. It is a great improvement to Main Street and greatly appre - ciated. The following letters were sent to the Recorder office:

Kudos to Brian Zarn and Keith Smeltz for replac - ing the Bulletin Board in between Sunrise Credit Union and Reston Fine Foods. Finally that old eye sore is gone. A big improvement! Thanks Guys,

Carol Hi Dolores. I just went for a walk and would like

to pass on 3 cheers in the paper for whoever it was who fixed up the Main St. bulletin board. It looks so nice now! And will be so much more useful and not an eyesore any longer. Judy

Province advises speed limit increases to 110 KM/H on most twinned sections of Trans-Canada

Highway west of Winnipeg Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation

reminds motorists the maximum allowable speed limit on selected sections of the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) west of Winnipeg is now 110 Km/h up from 100 Km/h.

The increased limits along sections of the TCH are possible following increased safety measures including improving intersections, paving shoulders, creating rumble strips, and installing better signage and guardrails.

Areas around Virden, Brandon, Carberry, Portage la Prairie, Elie and Headingley are excluded from the increased speed limit because of road geometry and traffic signal locations in these areas.

In 2009, the speed limit on the Trans-Canada Highway from Saskatachewan to Virden (a distance of 47.7 km) was increased to 110 km/h. Motorists are also reminded to drive according to weather and to obey posted speed limits.

Just for Laughs Busy in the yard one afternoon, a man paused to

admire a neighbour’s new boat. “She sure is a beauty, Charlie, ” noted the man. Knowing that Charlie’s wife was somewhat conservative when it came to spending money, the man asked, “Was it expensive?” “The boat itself wasn’t so bad,” Charlie replied. “ But the extras really hurt.” “You mean things like water skis, life jackets and trailer? ” the man asked. “No, ” Charlie said with a sigh, “ I mean the new carpet, the kitchen cabinets and the living room furniture.”

New Health Committee formed to lobby government submitted

A meeting was held last week in the Chambers of the Two Borders Municipality which was called by the leadership in our area - Mayor of Melita Bill Holden, Head of Council of the Two Borders Municipality Debbie McMechan, and Head of Council of the RM of Pipestone Archie McPherson. This meeting included Council representatives from these bodies as well as business people in our area and con - cerned citizens. As the meeting progressed, it was evident that the concerns of the work of the Prairie Mountain RHA continue to be a worry - some both in regard to our emergency service and of our hospital’s future in general. We discussed the nurse and doctor shortage in our hospital in particular and looked at ways to improve hiring and retention of both. The group has decided to form an official committee to lobby the government to ensure that our hospital stays open and that the government continues to recruit health care professionals for our area. It seems that going directly to the Minister of Health might be more worthwhile than trying to work solely with the RHA.

Some of our concerns include (but are not exclusive to): • The extra money being spent to have a continual rotation of agency nurses that

we are paying additional mileage and accommodations for. • The fact that no community members have been able to sit down with potential

doctors to have a discussion personally with them regarding the support they are looking for from the community.

• The fact that although the RHA is offering more positions to our EMS, it remains a concern that children and the elderly don’t always need an ambulance but rather doctors to diagnose and prescribe.

• The fact that having our emergency room closed for an entire month in the sum - mer is not acceptable to our need for “basic healthcare”.

The second half of the morning was spent with the Prairie Mountain RHA (Penny Gilson, spokesperson), who spent the 45 minutes that they had afforded us, reiterating the same information that was published in the New Era last week by their reporter, Terri Eger. There never seems to be any changes in the situation. The Committee sensed that the eight people on the panel were defensive and looking for reasons why any suggestions would NOT work rather than trying to problem solve ways that could be looked at to help our situation. The Committee came away from the RHA presentation knowing nothing more than when the meeting started.

The Committee wants to let the community know that they will do their level best to lobby the government on your behalf. They have a few ideas in this regard and are always looking for more ideas. In the meantime, the nurses and doctors that we do have must be frustrated with the RHA and need our support as ratepayers in the RMs and the towns. This issue affects everyone! If you have any suggestions, please forward to either Bill, Debbie or Archie.

Reston Family Fun Day by Jasmine Hamel

Reston School Student Council held a Family Fun Day at Reston Memorial Park, Saturday, May 30. They started off the day with a pancake breakfast from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. At 12:00 p.m., the road hockey tournament started with seven teams in the running.

The Amazing Race also started at that time coordinated by Stephanie Gervin, Kaylin Hall, Michaela Halls, Jasmine Hamel, and Shae-Lynn Davies. Four teams competed for prizes. There were 16 pit stops for each team to complete to receive their next clue.

The Reston School Travel Club sold hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch at the Park.

While all the events ran, the PAREC had lots of little activities for the kids to go and play including a bouncy castle, face painting, tattoos, bean bag toss, as well as other games.�


Congratulations Congratulations to Shanna Lockhart on receiving her Bachelor of Nursing degree from Brandon University during their Convocation Exercises on May 29. Shanna is presently employed in ER at Brandon Regional Health Centre.

Two Borders May 2015 Bulletin submitted by Reeve Deb McMechan for the Council of the Municipality of Two Borders

T here is nothing like watching a herd of cattle, put out to pasture in the spring, as they fan out from the gate stopping every few yards to rip up a mouthful of tender new grass. Then again, does anything smell quite as promising as the earthy tang of a freshly worked field warming up under the caress of a prairie sun in May?

It occurred to me recently that I haven’t really appreciated those things in a while. I sup - pose machinery hasn’t rolled up and down the fields nearly so frequently in the past few years, and while the cattle, for the most part, still made their yearly sojourns to pasture, the angst and inconven - ience of flooding has sapped much of the joy from those simple pleas - ures that make farming in western Canada the very best way of life.

While we have had some very heavy rains here in Two Borders, we have thus far been spared the devastation of another flood - touch wood. However, we continue to live with the legacy of the 2014 flood event.

At least in part due to very high water levels, frost boils have been a scourge upon our local gravel roads and highways this season. They have

popped up with the unbri - dled enthusiasm of early summer dandelions and made expensive, and in some cases dangerous, nui - sances of themselves. Although Council did not have any municipal road bans this year, we have been forced to close a number of gravel roads because they have b e c o m e impassab le . Counc i l would like to urge eve - ryone to travel with care for both their personal safety, and with a consid - eration for the state the roads are in.

Many major sites, municipal bridges and crossings, remain unfin - ished. These sites present both a danger and an annoyance, as signage blows over or is sometimes vandalized or stolen, leav - ing the motorist vulnerable to unmarked hazards while being patently inconven - ient. We urge people to drive with caution and we want you to know that we are working very hard to get infrastructure repaired.

Municipal administra - tion and council continue to contact, sometimes daily, Manitoba Emergency Measures, Disaster Financial Assistance and Stantec Engineering, the firm solely contracted by Manitoba government for the 2014 flood recovery, in an effort to complete the processing of these sites, so we can begin repair in these places.

Two Borders has worked diligently to make Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation aware of the state some of the area provincial highways

are in, speaking by tele - phone and requesting meetings with portfolio Ministers, so we have the pleasure of pointing them out firsthand. We com - mend the good work our local highways department does considering these challenges.

We are proud to say that as a result of the hard work through meetings and con - ferences to lobby for a pro - gram so flood victims had an opportunity to protect their homes and farms from future flood events, Two Borders council can report that the Manitoba government just announced an Individual Flood Protection Program for Manitoba residents. Details are currently being released and we applaud and appreciate the govern - ment’s commitment to helping Manitobans miti - gate future events.

The Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) June District meet - ings are right around the corner, and Two Borders Council has passed two resolutions we hope can go forward to the November convention. They are:

Whereas municipalities have been hit by multiple years of flooding and crop insurance premiums have increased while coverage has decreased; Now be it hereby resolved that the AMM lobby the Province of Manitoba that where municipalities have been hit by multiple years of excess moisture, that indi - vidual producers not be penalized by increased pre - miums and decreased cov - erage on Excessive Moisture Claims.

And, a resolution passed jointly with the Town of Melita and the RM of Pipestone:

Whereas health care is of vital importance to the citizens of rural southwest - ern Manitoba; And whereas the shortage of doctors and nurses is caus - ing frequent temporary sus - pensions of emergency rooms and acute care serv - ices; and whereas the citi - zens of these communities have no family doctors or basic health care services available; Now be it resolved that the Association of Manitoba Municipalities lobby the Province of Manitoba to provide, at the very least, a reasonable basic level of health care in the area facilities.

As well, a joint commit - tee has been newly formed among area municipalities to begin to tackle the very serious issue of the future of health care in our region.

Gravel should be being crushed and going on roads soon.

Budget deadlines are looming and as we work through the details, mill rates - both differential and at-large - prompt some very lively conversations around the table!

I hope you are all tak - ing time to notice the sim - ple beauty of cattle or sheep grazing companiona - bly on area pastures, and please remember to drive carefully on municipal roads and highways.

ELLIOTT Ida Elizabeth

January 7, 1920 - April 26, 2015 Ida passed away at the Virden Health Unit with her family by her side on April 26, 2015. She was the eldest of four children born on the family farm to Joseph and Elizabeth Grant of the Pipestone District. She spent her childhood years on the family farm and attended school in Pipestone. She spent many hours helping with gardening, household duties and taking care of her younger siblings. On November 8, 1943 she married Russell Elliott of the Belses District. Together they farmed in the Pipestone area until 1980 when they moved to Virden, MB. During that time she enjoyed being involved with the 4-H Club, was a member of the UCW, as well as a School Board Trustee.

She enjoyed being outside working in her vegetable and flower gardens. During the winter months she spent time at the rink curling with Russ. Throughout her retirement years she spent much time golfing, dancing and travelling. Their travels took them to Vancouver, several states including Texas, Tennessee, Hawaii as well as trips to Bermuda, the Bahamas, Mexico and Australia. Later they spent their winters in Mesa where they enjoyed socializing with their large circle of friends. She enjoyed knitting and cooking and spent much time researching new recipes. Company was always welcomed with homemade treats. One of Idaʼs most treasured possessions was her time spent with her family and always took an interest in everyoneʼs accomplishments no matter the size. She looked forward to all family birthday and anniversary celebrations. A memorial service in Idaʼs memory took place at Carscaddenʼs Funeral Chapel of Virden on May 1, 2015 with Rev. Dwight Rutherford officiating. Interment took place at the Virden Cemetery. The eulogy was given by granddaughter Ashlee Ritchie. The urnbearer was granddaughter Kristal Elliott. Ushers were Dallas Ritchie and Randy Stuart. Justine Burke accompanied the United Church Choir and the lunch was provided by the Virden Legion Ladies. Ida leaves to mourn her son Bill (Lucy) Elliott, granddaughters Ashlee (Dallas) Ritchie, Kristal Elliott and friend Randy Stuart, grandson Derek (Eva) MacKenzie, great-grandchildren Cole MacKenzie and Grayson Ritchie; sister Hilda Donald; brother Bill Grant; sisters-in-law Linda and Olive Elliott as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Russell; parents Joseph and Elizabeth Grant; daughter Valerie MacKenzie; brother Jack Grant; brothers-in-law Doug, Bert and Jack Elliott, Nick Dodds, Art Penno and Doug Donald; sisters-in-law Ada Penno, Katie Elliott, Laurie Dodds, Sheila and Dian Grant. If friends so desire donations may be made to the Virden Cemetery, Box 310, Virden, MB or a charity of your choice.

________________________________

Ida Elliottʼs family would like to thank everyone for the many acts of kindness expressed to our family during the passing of our Mom and Grandma. Thanks to The Sherwood staff, Dr. Jennifier Hammell and the Virden Ambulance for their excellent care, as well as the Virden Hospital staff for their compassionate care. Thanks also to Rev. Dwight Rutherford for the lovely service and words of comfort, to Justine Gould and the United Church Choir, as well as the Virden Legion Ladies for the beautiful lunch. It is all very much appreciated and will be remembered always.

O BITUARY

Beware of telephone and email scams

Ottawa, ON, May 28, 2015 - The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) warns you to beware of telephone calls or emails that claim to be from the CRA but are not. These are phishing and other fraudulent scams that could result in identity and financial theft.

You should be espe - cially aware of phish - ing scams asking for information such as credit card, bank account, and passport numbers. The CRA would never ask for this type of infor - mation. Some of these scams ask for this per - sonal information directly and others refer to a website resembling the CRA’s, where you

are asked to confirm your identity by enter - ing personal infor - mation. You should not click on links included in these emails. Email scams may also contain embedded malicious software that can harm your computer and put your personal infor - mation at risk.

Some recent tele - phone scams involve threatening or forceful language to scare you into paying fictitious debts to the CRA. If you get such a call, hang up and report it to the Canadian Anti- Fraud Centre (see con - tact information below).

Some recent email scams involve telling you that you are enti - tled to a refund of a specific amount or tell - ing you that your tax assessment has been verified and you are getting a tax refund. These emails often have CRA logos or

internet links that look official. Some contain obvious grammar or spelling mistakes.

These types of com - munication are not from the CRA. When the CRA calls you, it has established pro - cedures in place to make sure your per - sonal information is protected. If you want to confirm the authen - ticity of a CRA tele - phone number, call the CRA by using the num - bers on its telephone numbers page. The number for business- related calls is 1-800- 959-5525. The number for calls about individ - ual concerns is 1-800- 959-8281.

To help you identify possible scams, you can use the following guidelines:

The CRA: • Never asks for

information about your passport, health card or driver’s licence;

• Never shares your

taxpayer information with another person, unless you have pro - vided the appropriate authorization; and

• Never leaves per - sonal information on your answering machine or asks you to leave a message con - taining your personal information on an answering machine.

When in doubt, ask yourself the following:

• Am I expecting money from the CRA?

• Does this sound too good to be true?

• Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return?

• Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me?

• How did the requester get my email address or telephone number?

• Am I confident I know who is asking for the information?

• Is there a reason that the CRA may be calling? Do I have a tax balance outstanding?

The CRA has strong practices to protect the confidentiality of tax - payer information. The confidence and trust that individuals and businesses have in the CRA is a cornerstone of Canada’s tax system. For more information about the security of taxpayer information and other examples of fraudulent communi - cations, go to www.cra- arc.gc.ca/security.

Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre

For information on scams, to report decep - tive telemarketing, or if you have given per - sonal or financial infor - mation unwittingly, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online at www.anti - fraudcentre-centreanti - fraude.ca or toll free at 1-888-495-8501.

1. To keep paint from peeling off concrete floors and sheet metal, put a coat of vinegar on it before you paint.

2. Remove dried paint without irritating your skin - salad oil or shav - ing cream both work like a charm.

3. Paint smells vanish if you leave a large bucket or bowl of water or a freshly cut onion in the room overnight.

Riding the market roller coaster by Jim Eng, BSc, CIM, FCSI, Wealth Advisor ScotiaMcLeod - A Division of Scotia Capital Inc. Email [email protected]

As often as the stock market tumbles and recovers, it’s easy for investors to feel like they’re on a never-ending roller coaster ride. Minute by minute, the market adjusts in real time to information and to investors’ emotional state. When confidence is high, the market rises accordingly to reflect investor opti - mism and conversely, when fear takes over, the markets turn down, reflecting investor’s growing sense of uncertainty.

Continued market volatility is a constant reminder to investors that there can be a fairly wide berth around what we expect will happen and what actually hap - pens regarding short-term equity returns. In the wealth management business, we tend to define risk as volatility, or standard deviation. It is industry standard to look at an investor’s assets using a portfolio view, from the top down, with dollars across all asset classes.

The industry definition of risk is not consistent with the way investors actu - ally think about risk. Rather than viewing risk as a range of possible outcomes relative to an expected return, investors tend to frame risk around the likelihood of meeting their specific goals. These goals can range from funding their chil - dren’s educational expenses, to maintaining their lifestyle during retirement years, to passing the estate to the next generation with the lowest taxes payable.

While broad market benchmarks may be important from an informational standpoint, they do not reflect how investors view success or failure. During market downturns in particular, short-term relative investment performance is irrelevant to longer-term goal achievement. If the market goes down 15% and aportfolio goes down 10%, that is a positive outcome if you are using a relative benchmark. But if it’s YOUR portfolio that goes down 10%, it doesn’t feel like a positive outcome.

As mentioned in previous articles, to have long term investment success you should have a well-defined and disciplined investment process. The processes I use are the common ìbest practicesî that the top portfolio managers in the indus - try useto mitigate portfolio risk for pensions, institutions and high net worth families.

First I must understand the client and their individual goals, culminating in a financial strategy that encompasses the entire financial situation. All the client’s needs are assessed by my ability to draw on specialists across a range of finan - cial disciplines (My Team of Experts): from managing risk, asset protection, tax planning, cash flow management, trust services, business or personal lending and will and estate plans.

I take a more complete look at your life for a more complete financial strat - egy. Then relying on a proven approach to investment success, I construct a port - folio that manages risk while maximizing long-term performance. I establish and actively work to maintain optimal asset allocation with a mix of investments to provide the best possible return for each unit of risk tolerance.

With your investment strategy clearly defined, you stay the course during a variety of market conditions and the likelihood of achieving your financial objectives increases. Regular portfolio reviews mean it remains on target, reduc - ing the impact of market volatility or the roller coaster ride. Remaining on target will allow you to reach your financial goals.
