Info session on 8th Street bridge set to take place

Brandon residents will have an opportunity to attend an information session later this month regarding the fu-ture of the 8th Street bridge.

The public outreach, which takes place Nov. 19, will include a detailed outline of the various options current-ly being considered for the aging structure.

Coenraad Fourie, manager of development and trans-portation for the City of Brandon, says the upcoming meeting with the public will be as transparent as pos-sible and will also include financial information on all of the options currently available.

The public input is always valued for something like this and its always important, he told the Journal. The challenge in this particular case is that people have to understand this is a very old structure at the end of its life span. That is the reality. Is it beyond saving? No. It is not. The question is how much do you want to spend on it and what is the possible return that you would get for that? So I guess thats what really needs to be com-municated to show people the options and these are the implications.

The five options currently available for the public in-clude a continued closure of the current bridge, which would involve repair of the current hole at the dam-aged extension joint only and the possible removal of the bridges stairway. In this scenario, the bridge would remain closed to vehicle traffic, but remain open to pe-destrian traffic. The structure would then be inspected and evaluated twice a year, according to a City of Bran-don release, with the projected timeline for this option expected to be the shortest in the range of six months to a year.

The second option would be a conversion of the cur-rent bridge to a pedestrian-only corridor. This option would see the modification of the approach grades to create a street-like pedestrian pathway. The City esti-mates this option would take anywhere between a year to a year and a half.

The third option, which would two to three years to complete, would be the rehabilitation of the current

bridge for passenger vehicle traffic. This would include the repair of all current structural issues and the removal of the stairway to re-open the bridge with a reduced load capacity of passenger vehicles and ambulances only.

The fourth option would be the demolition of the bridge itself with no immediate plans to rebuild, with the fifth option being the complete construction of a new bridge this includes either a complete rehabilitation of the current structure in its current location or the con-struction of a new bridge in a different location. The City estimates a timeline of three to five years for this option.

Brandon Mayor Rick Chrest says City Council will, in all likelihood, be in a position to make some decisions soon after the session.

That is unless we sort of uncover some avenues or suggestions, if you will, from the public that need to be

pursued, he said. We havent completely mapped out what the next date will be if you will because we dont want to pre-determine what the public might want to tell us.

Its a very important issue, he added. Council wants to ensure that we carefully step through it and that we have all the proper information and that weve con-sulted with the public as thoroughly as we can. Thats kind of the stage that were at the moment.

The 8th Street bridge, which was built in 1934 and later updated in 1968, had a major rehabilitation done to the bridge deck in 1999. A detailed bridge assessment in 2012 showed advanced deterioration. The bridge closed in July to all vehicular traffic.

The information session will take place in the Main Foyer of Brandon City Hall and will begin at 6 p.m.

The Western Financial Group in Brandon recently donated $3,000 to the Brandon Humane Society to help refurbish a trailer that will be a mobile education and care unit that travels to rural communities and takes part in special events. The funds were raised by the branch and donated through the Western Communities Foundation, Western Financial Groups charitable arm.

Robson and Bere named winners of fi rst ever Westoba junior reporter competition

Carberrys own Nate Robson and Mather product Ashlyn Bere were named the winners of the first ever Westoba Wheat Kings junior reporter contest.

In association with the Brandon Wheat Kings, the contest which ran Sept. 14 - Oct. 17 consisted of young hockey fans (ages five-12) from the province submit-ting a video showcasing their interviewing skills. The contest wound up becoming rather popular with 21 entries, which can be viewed on westoba.com or on Face-book.

The goal of the contest was to give the kids an opportunity to get involved, be creative and talk about something theyre passionate about, said Jim Rediger, chief executive officer of WCU, in a release. Watching these young fans videos, you can really see that come through.

Robson and Bere will soon be at West-man Place near the bench, locker-room, practice or press box to cover the Wheat Kings. The junior reporters will have two opportunities to interview players and put them on the spot with their hard-hitting

questions. All interviews will be featured on KingsVision, westoba.com, wheatk-ings.com on the video scoreboard at a number of Brandon home games this sea-son as well as on social media.

Rick Dillabough, Wheat Kings director of business operations and sponsorship, says the team knew going into the contest that there was going to be many talented, young candidates to choose from.

By the looks of the audition tapes sub-mitted, we have an excellent crop of up and coming hockey reporters in this area, he said. Choosing two from the long list of entries proved extremely challenging.

The announcement of the winners took place at pizza party at Westobas main branch in Brandon last week. The event included current Wheat King Tim Mc-Gauley, who spent some time with the kids signing autographs.

Its a lot of fun. I enjoy coming to these kinds of things. The kids are happy to be here, he said. I remember when I was a kid getting autographs. Its something that I like doing for sure. It satisfies the kids, theyre happy that theyre getting something out of it and for me, its always a special feeling to be able to sign some-thing like that.

by reporters and provide their interpretation of that information. They dont have an obligation to be neutral; in fact, their re-sponsibility is the exact opposite. Their obligation my obligation is to provide an honestly-held opinion, based on known information. Thats what I do every week in the Westman Journal, the Winnipeg Free Press and (occasionally) other pa-pers.

Now, we all know that two people can look at the same facts and arrive at completely different interpretations, and thats the case with columnists.

A few months ago, a friend suggested that my columns should come with some sort of warning to readers that there is a good possibility I could offend them at some point during the discussion.

Im a political colum-nist, so it kind of comes with the territory, espe-cially in the overheated political environment that we find ourselves in these days. People have strong feelings on both sides of an issue. Saying or writ-ing something that makes one side happy seems to always makes folks on the other side angry.

I learned that firsthand during the recent federal election campaign. When I wrote columns that criticized or questioned aspects of the Conserva-tives campaign, I was called an NDP or Liberal hack in the comments section and on social me-dia, and I received angry emails from Tory sup-porters.

The next week, when I would write about a prob-lem with the NDP or Lib-eral campaigns for ex-ample, the NDP platform that looked a lot like pre-vious Liberal platforms the same Tory support-ers who were throwing stones at me the previous week were suddenly call-ing me a genius, and my email inbox was stuffed

with angry messages from New Democrats and Liberals.

Well, not nearly as many as I received from Conservative support-ers. They were by far the noisiest complainers, and in many cases the nasti-est.

It got to the point last month where I had a standard response that I would send to the worst complainers, asking them to identify one example where insulting a jour-nalist and making veiled threats has resulted in better coverage and com-mentary for their party or candidate. Im still wait-ing for that answer, but it raises an issue that many people are confused about -- the difference between reporters and columnists.

A lot of people think we have the same roles, and a lot of the confu-sion comes from situa-tions where a journalist working as a reporter also writes a regular opinion column. The bottom line is this: Reporters gather facts. They have an obli-gation to be fair and neu-tral. They just present the facts and let readers draw their own conclusions.

Columnists, on the other hand, arent nor-mally involved in fact-gathering. Instead, they usually take information that has been collected

My columns are just my opinion. Kerry Auriat or Tom Brodbeck or Mary Agnes Welch or Mia Rabson or Dan Lett might look at the same facts and come to a completely dif-ferent viewpoint. Thats happens quite often and thats fine. The objective of the opinion page of any newspaper is to provide readers with opinions that will cause them to think and arrive at their own conclusions.

In short, the primary goal of any columnist is to stimulate thought and

discussion. If you can get half of your readers to agree with you and the other half to completely disagree, youve hit the target. When you write about politics, however, that means you are almost always offending some segment of your reader-ship -- and its not hard to offend people these days, given the permanent election cycle we have experienced for the past decade.

Such is the life of a po-litical columnist. We get paid to tell people what

you think, but we know that some of those people sometimes a lot of those people arent going to like it. I accept that.

That said, with the fed-eral election campaign now over, and the pro-vincial election still more than five months away, I will be focusing on lo-cal issues in the coming weeks. A lot has been happening at city hall and at the school board table, raising a number of issues that deserve your atten-tion.

That starts next week.

OPINIONOPINIONLetter: I want to thank the people of Brandon-Souris

I want to thank the people of Brandon-Souris for once again trusting me to rep-resent our region in the House of Com-mons. I pledge to continue my work with Westmans provincial, municipal, business, and community leaders over the next four years to make sure that your voice is heard in Ottawa and our region continues to benefit from federal investment.

Secondly, I want to thank Jodi Wyman, Melissa Wastasecoot and David Neufeld for putting their names on the ballot. I commend them for their commitment to our country and their passion to pass down a stronger Canada than the one we inherited. I firmly believe that Canadian democracy is strengthened when vari-ous ideas are put forward and debated.

While the national election result was not what I was hoping for, my zeal for public service is stronger than ever. I

can say that I am extremely proud of what has been accomplished here in Westman over the 22 months since I was first elected as MP.

The outgoing Conservative govern-ments commitment to strengthening local communities is demonstrated by many construction projects going on in municipalities across Brandon-Souris. Our work to tear down old trade barri-ers has and will continue to open new markets for Westman goods and servic-es. Im particularly thrilled with the in-vestments that we made at Assiniboine Community College and Brandon Uni-versity. And most of all, I am proud of our record of leaving more money in the pockets of hardworking Westman resi-dents rather than in the hands of govern-ment.

Going forward, I believe that we can-not let partisan politics stand in the way

of encouraging more economic growth here in Westman. On Nov. 4, Manito-bans will find out which Liberal MP or MPs from Winnipeg will be tasked with representing our province in Justin Trudeaus cabinet. As soon as we do find out, I will be writing to invite the new minister or ministers to visit Brandon-Souris at their earliest opportunity to meet with community leaders and start a discussion about how we can all work together across party lines to advance the best interests of our region.

In the House of Commons, you can be confident that I will remain commit-ted to supporting policies that encourage job creation and decrease the federal tax burden on seniors and working families.

I will also continue to work with local Veterans to improve the services and programs they and their families rely on.

Finally, I want to remind everyone that my office continues to offer assistance to all Brandon-Souris constituents regard-ing questions or concerns with federal programs. As always, we will engage residents on legislation and seek the views of everyday Canadians in our ca-pacity as the Official Opposition. I will fight for Westman at every turn, because that is why you elected me. I will not let you down.

HUMOURHUMOURRandom musings from the keyboard

Talking about some-thing that you love and cant live without is never easy.

That was the case re-cently when several people gathered for what shouldve been a joyous occasion and it turned into a somewhat different affair.

The guys had gathered for what was becoming an infrequent event when one of the boys told us the bad news.

What we held near and dear it was there in the mornings when some of the guys didnt make it home (for whatever rea-sons we cannot discuss in a public forum) and when we dropped by unexpect-edly during the noon hour or after work for a bite to eat before the evenings activities began.

The one of us closest to

it and the de facto owner announced, the frying pan is no longer with us.

That prompted a sym-pathetic chorus of sorry and sympathetic pats on the back. We had all been fed by the frying pan at one point or another in what can be described as meals that were deli-cious, mouth watering and sometimes burned.

This was no ordinary frying pan. This was one of the few items that one of the guys got custody of during the not-so-amica-ble divorce. It was either the frying pan or a set

of doilies that some long forgotten aunt had sewn together. (Does anyone even use doilies any-more?)

To him, the frying pan was a bridge from the past to the present. It sounds hokey but havent you ever had a favourite cof-fee cup or favourite shirt, etc. etc.? Then maybe you can understand.

For the rest of the guys, the frying pan repre-sented memories. Snacks served at the poker games were made with that pan. Some of the best ground beef cooked to near per-

fection as hamburgers or taco stuffing came off that non-stick cooking device as did breakfast omelettes the following morning when games got spirited and driving home was not an option.

But after 20 odd years and thousands of meals, the non-stick surface be-came sticky. Food items were getting burned and pancakes wouldnt flip in the air because they were stuck to the pan. It had the odd dent and cooking oil flowed to one side if not strategically placed on the stove top element.

The frying pan had served, or cooked, well. The pan has been replaced by a state of the art, non-stick, cool-to-the-touch wonder of technology.

Well just have to wait and see if food will taste as good.

In the meantime, we

can take solace that the frying pan has been sent to appliance heaven, otherwise known as the recycle centre, and hope-fully itll find its way to another kitchen to serve well in whatever reincar-nated capacity the factory deems its worthy of

Its been a couple of weeks since the federal election and to the sur-prise of some, brothels and drug houses have yet to appear on every street corner. Gosh darn, were the Conservatives lying and trying to scare us?

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper gets the last laugh. Hes still an MP, collecting his six-figure salary and padding his pension at the taxpay-ers expense. I guess fiscal prudence is OK, but only if it doesnt impact your wallet.

A political thought: to improve foreign rela-tions should Prime Min-ister Trudeau (takes some getting use to) pose with Russian President Pu-tin shirtless on a beach somewhere?

Our new PM says Ot-tawa will spend billions on infrastructure over the next few years. Since they want to rebuild in-frastructure, why not start with the Senate?

We now have the win-ter to get over the federal campaign before we get into a provincial election. Theres a warm thought to tide you over during the coming cold nights.

Thought for the week: Dont hate thy neighbour who has a remote start for their vehicle.

Big Sugar will perform at The 40 in Brandon on Nov. 21.

Big Sugar vocalist hoping to fi nd lost banjo at upcoming concert in Wheat City

Not only is Gordie John-son looking forward to coming back to the Wheat City to perform in front of his fans, the lead vocalist and guitar player of Big Sugar is hoping the retriev-al of a prized possession of his would make for a night he wont soon forget.

Johnsons pre-war Gib-son six-string banjo an instrument he had owned for approximately 15 years was last seen at a concert last March in Brandon. Johnson says the band was playing an acoustic show that night and by the end of the night, the banjo went missing.

Man, if anybody has

any clues as to what hap-pened to it, I would love to have it back, he told the Journal. I had that instru-ment for a long time.

Lost banjo or not, John-son is happy to be back in Brandon and hes looking forward to playing in front of Big Sugar fans later this month.

Although I havent lived there since I was a very small child but its something thats left an in-delible impression on me, said Johnson, who was born in Winnipeg. When-ever we get to that part of Manitoba and the land flat-tens out, I start to like perk up.

Johnson and Big Sugar have certainly made an imprint on the rock n roll/reggae scene in Canada

over the years. The band which also includes bass player Garry Lowe, Kelly Mr. Chill Hoppe on har-monica, sax and melodica, toastmaster DJ Friendly-ness on keyboard and Ste-phane Beaudin on drums is currently on a Canadian tour, playing in more than 15 cities.

The band will be show-casing work from one of their latest albums entitled, Yardstyle, which takes songs from their history and revamping them in an effort to showcase how their music has evolved over the years.

It has that recogniz-able Big Sugar sound to it but the band continues to evolve as well because its a living breathing entity, Johnson added. Its not

just about following a path. Were proud of it but were also moving forward.

The band, which is known for several big hits such as The Scene, Im a Ram and Red Rover has had years of experience on the road when it comes to touring. At the end of the day, Johnson says, its all about the show.

I mean the travel, I could take it or leave it, he said. You kind of get into a groove with it the airports and the tour bus-ses, hotels and all that but if there wasnt a two-hour show at the end of the night, I dont know if I could do this for any other reason.

The day that becomes boring is the day you hang it up, he added.

Big Sugar will be per-forming in Brandon on Nov. 21 at The 40 with special guest Triggerfin-ger, a band Johnson says, people should take note of and come out and watch.

We toured with them across Europe so we brought them with us to

Canada, so its their first time seeing a lot of these places, he said. People will want to get to the show early because thats a band that should be headlining an arena.

Different fats are an important part of your dietThis may come as a bit

of a surprise considering I write articles on healthy lifestyles and nutrition, but I have had some very strong aversions to certain foods through the years.

When I say strong I mean that very literally. l actually omitted whole food groups from my diet. I did this due to misguided infor-mation. My intentions were pure, but the result in my body was utter disaster.

If youve been around long enough, you know many different diet trends have come and gone (hello cabbage soup diet). I was a young teen in the late 80s it was an impressionable age no matter the decade. I really cannot pinpoint what it was exactly that started my aversion to the food group known as fats. I do however, remember dis-tinctly looking at the cov-ers of magazines and seeing the supermodels splashed across the cover in all their glory. The 80s definitely was the decade of the su-

permodel. As a result, I de-termined that the food cate-gory of fat was off-limits as that must surely be the rea-son these models became super. Not only were fats off-limits, but it was a vil-lain, a demon even, to be avoided at all costs. In my mind, it created nothing but fat bodies and misery.

You may be wonder-ing, what do you mean by avoided? How could you possibly avoid it?

Im here to set the re-cord straight. Yes, indeed it can be done. I will give you some examples to paint a clear picture for you. My family would fry our chicken in butter, but I dont. Instead, I would saut it in a pan of water until it was cooked. I ate only the whites of eggs, no yolk ever. Any type of nut was to be avoided at all costs. At Christmas, I would eat the raisins from the nut tray, but never the nuts. What about salad you might ask? That one was easy a wedge of lemon. Its a little tangy, but

still pleasant to the palate (mine at least).

It could be said that there were some good things that I did when it came to avoid-ing fats. One of those was deep-fried foods. If you guessed that I didnt eat it, youre right. Thats one area to this day that I just cannot bring myself to eat. Im quite certain that Im not missing out on any real nutrition there (although I know that those who love deep-fried wings would dis-agree with me.) The second was chips (and chocolate bars to be completely hon-est). I remember the day I swore them off and I was done with them. I was 13 years old and for nearly 30 years, I have not eaten them.

Im sure by this point you realize that when I say I didnt eat a certain food group, Im not stretching the truth. I was fanatical. I really thought I was doing my body a huge favour. And in some respects, when it came to the deep-fried foods and chips, I probably was,

but here is the real kicker. With all that sacrifice and deprivation, I did not get the super model physique. Instead, I ended up with a body that really did not re-flect how hard I exercised and pushed myself.

Here is what it all boiled down to. When I deprived my body of the healthy fats it needed, the body made sure to get the calories else-where. Where did I reach? Carbohydrates of course. As long as it did not have fat in it, to me it was just fine to eat. Hello angel food cake, boxed pudding (made with water of course) and lico-rice candy (check out the la-bel, no fat there). Unknown to me, excess carbohydrates have a more detrimental ef-fect for creating that spare tire around the middle than the fats I was so concerned about. That though, is for another article.

So what changed my mind-set and created a true sense of freedom in my nu-trition habits?

The knowledge that my

body needs (shall we say desperately needs) healthy fats in order to work opti-mally. I would never reach my personal goals if I did not include healthy fats in my diet. Wow, that was mind-blowing. In the fitness realm, its now documented that individuals who really want to lean up their bodies, must make daily healthy fat intake a part of the plan.

If we leave ascetics out of the equation, the list of what goods fats do for the body is astounding. Even the old saturated fats with their negative connotations (very off the mark I might add) have extremely posi-tive benefits to the body. The problem lies in the fact that the majority of North Americans get too much of one type of fat, gener-ally saturated fat. Too much of anything throws off the healthy balance and creates inflammation. Inflamma-tion is the precursor to all disease.

Its highly likely that youre getting more than

enough saturated fats if youre an average North American. Please know that these fats are indeed healthy, but you may be getting too many of them. Take a look at your meals and snack. Are you includ-ing the other healthy fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated?

You may be unaware of which fat falls into which categories (again, a topic for the next article) but ask yourself these questions. How many times have I eaten fish this week? How many times have I included olive oil in my meals? How many times have I included raw nuts of any kind or flax-seeds, hemp seeds or chia seeds? A lifestyle change is not so much about what you take away, but what you add in.

Evolution not revolution: Does council get it?What is the biggest ob-

stacle standing in the way of rural growth? Those who are passionate about their communities may debate this issue at length, regularly. One recent discussion suggests that municipal councils may, themselves, be the biggest stumbling blocks prevent-ing development.

Theres an unrealis-tic expectation that some councillors have about business attraction, said a colleague of mine, representing a commu-nity with a population of 1,500. Based on the vision that they have in their mind, its impossible to ever meet targets.

In some jurisdictions, councillors feel that their role is solely ensuring the maintenance of existing roads and waterworks. They openly shun the no-tion that the role of coun-cil is to pave the way for an attractive environment for growth as part of their mandate. Their focus is

on serving only current ratepayers.

A particularly hard sell in rural Manitoba com-munities is the role of tourism in the economic picture for the region. Some fail to see how the increase in seasonal pop-ulation holds a benefit for the ratepayers that live in the area year round.

Its frustrating be-cause just when you think youve finally got buy in [on tourism], the coun-cil turns over and youve got a whole new board to educate, shares a part time practitioner in the In-terlake.

If the relationship be-tween municipal govern-ment and economic de-velopment is not healthy and functional, its hard to create unity and enthu-siasm at the local level to inspire progress. Further, without support from council, tapping in to out-side funding and resourc-es is often problematic.

But lets be fair. Many

of our rural councillors are serving in these roles out of a genuine interest in their community many in a volunteer capacity for little to no remuneration. They give freely of their time not only for council meetings but also for a number of other commit-tees requiring official rep-resentation. The scope of operations asked of any single councillor may be broad.

So if, as professionals in our field, were dealing with a council that seems indifferent to our mission, it becomes our responsi-bility to offer up a frame-work. Not a wordy thesis which conveys all of our expertise, but instead an executive summary along with some hard numbers to help frame the discus-sion. If you cant ex-plain it simply, then you dont understand it well enough. The community priorities, the challenges ahead, the opportunities available, the strategic in-

vestment, the marketing plan, the intended out-come and (of course) the price tag.

We cant sit back and await direction, instead we must recognize that we have been hired to be the custodians of the communitys future and we need to chart the course. In community development, there is lit-tle value in identifying a scapegoat for the reasons why progress didnt hap-pen. Instead, our success requires that we frame the discussion in a manner which speaks to the focus of that Council and how the economic develop-ment strategy benefits not only current, but also fu-ture ratepayers represent-ed by those councillors.

Maybe council doesnt get it but that doesnt mean we need them to adapt to the way we teach. Instead, we need to adapt to the manner in which they learn. There is a lot of common ground if we

Daly House to recreate WWI era tea

Westman residents can step back in time when Daly House Museum recreates Mrs. Annie Coldwells Patriotic Tea on Nov. 7.

Mrs. G. R. Coldwell and her family lived in the home at 122 18th Street for over 30 years, and she was active in many local womens organizations during that time. As a founding member of the Brandon branch of the Red Cross and the Queen Mary Guild, she opened her home and hosted many teas during World War I to raise money and collect clothing for men in the services, children, and others in need.

Daly House Museum will be recreating the tea on Nov. 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. about life on the home front.

Tickets for the event will be $15 each and are available now at Daly House Museum. In order to preserve the come and go atmosphere, tickets will be earmarked for various times throughout the afternoon. For more information or to reserve your tickets, please contact Trott at 204-727-1722 or [email protected].

Public feedback soughton options for outdoor

sports complexMembers of Brandons outdoor sport-

ing community and the general public are invited to join the conversation as the City of Brandon studies the feasibil-ity of a new outdoor field sports com-plex in Brandon.

Earlier this year, the City of Brandon and Province of Manitoba agreed to cost-share a $50,000 feasibility study on the viability of a new outdoor field sports complex to replace or improve upon the chronically- flooded Optimist Park. Administered by consulting firms, MNP LLP and HTFC Planning and De-sign, the feasibility study has included a number of workshops with various sport user groups and stakeholder organiza-tions over the summer and early fall of 2015.

With a number of possible models in hand, the City of Brandon has scheduled a public open house for the evening of Nov. 5 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the T.E. Snure Multi-Purpose Room of the A.R. McDiarmid Civic Complex, lo-cated at 638 Princess Avenue.

This feasibility study has allowed us to look at different scenarios for a new outdoor field sports facility in Brandon, including possible site locations, owner-ship models, project phasing, and even

what other complementary recreation amenities might be possible in conjunc-tion with such a project, said City of Brandon Manager of Parks Operations Bryce Wilson in a release. We now want the community to offer its thoughts about the proposed models, because its priorities are essential to the process of planning for the future of outdoor sport and recreation in Brandon.

Assisting in the creation of proper outdoor soccer and field sport facilities to meet the growing need in our commu-nity is one of ten priority areas contained within Brandon City Councils Strategic Plan, said Brandon Mayor Rick Chrest. I and City Council are certainly look-ing forward to hearing the communitys feedback on the results of this feasibility study. It will take a true community ef-fort to move such an idea forward, and we want to ensure that everyones voice is heard in the process.

Those interested in participating in the Nov. 5 open house are asked to access the A.R. McDiarmid Civic Complex via the buildings south doors. Parking is available to the south of the building.

I have just attended the Rotary Wine Festival, an annual event sponsored by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries. Proceeds from the evening are used to support the Elspeth Reid Family Fund, a wonderful cause. The wine tasting was well-

attended, fun and a wonderful learning opportunity. Wine fes-tivals and public tasting events offer a chance to sample wines that you might not have had the opportunity to taste otherwise. If you missed this years event mark the calendar for next year and in the meantime, be sure to check out other wine tast-ing events held throughout the province. Familiar products as well as newly introduced wines are promoted. In my opinion,

Ormarine Picpoul De Pinet, France, 2014, Price: $12.99This mouth-watering high-acid white wine is produced in the Pinet area of the Languedoc, France, from 100% white Picpoul De Pinet grapes. Lime and white grapefruit feature aside an interesting saline quality and dis-creet white oral notes.

alinnneeee qqqoral notes.

Malbec and Morethe best thing about such events is the introduction of new grape varietals and the wonderful wines they are made from. The Malbec grape varietal

serves as an example of what can be achieved once the public turn their attention to something new. This grape was, not so long ago, virtually unheard of in our market. Malbec has always been popular and respected in France, its home, but outside of its native country it remained relatively unknown until it traveled to Argentina where it gained popularity and from there was introduced to the New World. The Malbec grape variety was

thought of as somewhat exotic and unusual when it arrived here yet given time it gained a signi -cant following. Because of its pop-ularity plantings have increased and this variety is now grown in many different countries. All of this is thanks to the popularity of the Malbecs of Argentina, not to mention consumer support.I refer to Malbecs fame for two

reasons. The rst is to urge pa-trons to branch out, try and buy, new grape varietals so that these newly introduced varieties are given the opportunity to shine as the Malbec grape variety was and secondly, so consumers real-ize how we can drive the market by embracing change.

Jason Blaine: music from the heart

When you write music that comes from your heart, it resonates with people. At least thats what CCMA award winner Jason Blaine is finding out. With a new album filled with personal stories and ex-periences, hes surprised by the number of fans who are contacting him to say how much a song means to them.

Im sharing songs that come from the most honest place in my heart, he said. Theyre about family and faith and my life and yet they mean so much to so many people.

His 2012 CCMA single of the year They Dont Make Em Like That Any-more is the perfect example.

Every word of that song is based on my Grandpa. I thought Id write it and share it with him and my family and that would be the end of it.

The song was recorded and the video shot using Blaines family, including his Grandpa who passed away recently at the age of 82. With more than 700,000 views on YouTube, and hundreds of positive comments, the song certainly hits home with a lot of people.

It reminds me of why I became a song writer in the first place, he said. Having a fan say a song has touched them means more than any chart rating.

That personal connection to fans is what keeps Blaine going in a business that takes

him away from his wife and three young children while hes on tour. He describes songs as having a four-part life-cycle from the first writing, to adding in the music with a band and then time played on the radio.

Then, when I play a song live and the fans are singing it back to me that com-pletes it all. In that moment, its not just my song.

Blaine is very humble about his success as a musician. With a track record of more than a dozen Top 10 singles and the recent release of his sixth album Country Side topping the charts as the No. 1 Canadian song on Canadian radio, he has much to brag about, but you wont hear it from him.

During an interview that was meant to highlight his career and current tour, he spent more time singing the praises of his wife who gave up a successful career to move from Ontario to Nashville to raise their children and support his dream.

My wife is amazing. Shes so support-ive and is such a great mother. In 2006, we packed up our 2002 Pontiac Grand-Am with everything, including our three-month-old baby girl, and took a chance by moving to Nashville, he said.

Hailing from Pembroke, Ont., the artist goes home each year to put on a charity golf tournament that has raised $50,000 and $75,000 respectively its first two years. With proceeds going to Algonquin College (which he attended), the Boys and

fans and a hope my music can be part of the soundtrack to their weekend.

Local Legion volunteer says Remembrance Day a time to refl ect

For approximately 10 years, Garry Andrew has volunteered his time at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 3 in the Wheat City and by the look on his face, you could tell hes very proud to lend a helping hand.

It means were giving back to the people, the vet-erans that have served our country and have given us what we have here today, he told the Journal. Its the freedom we have in a lot of different things. If it wasnt for these veter-ans fighting in these wars, where would we be?

On Nov. 11, the na-tion will be remember-ing the men and women who made the ultimate

sacrifice for our country. Andrews and the count-less others who volunteer their time at the local Le-gion branches in Brandon play a key role in the an-nual Remembrance Day service at the Keystone Centre.

What they (Veterans) did, and a lot of them dont even talk about it, but when you have Re-membrance Day and you see them in the Keystone, they come and they dress in their uniforms, he said. Theyre as proud as proud can be and theyre all gentlemen.

Andrew had two uncles who served in World War II. He reflected on the letter his grandmother re-ceived during that time.

The letter my grand-mother got was one son

killed, one son wounded.His wifes family has

also had family members who have served, adding, Its kind of been in my family.

He says Legion mem-bers in the area do their very best to make sure the youth of today know exactly what transpired so many years ago. The Legion not only supports Veterans, but also the Royal Canadian Air Ca-dets, schools in the area, local sports teams, among many other organizations.

Weve made sure to get lots of information out to the schools, to the younger generation who dont really know what this is all about and letting them know what the Vet-erans did for us.
