W
ith the arrival of a new doctor in town the
health care situation in Minnedosa has just
been upgraded from dire to desperate.
Long-time staf at the local clinic noted that
while they have seen doctor shortages in Minnedosa
over time, they have never seen them to this extent.
I have been working in health care in Minnedo-
sa for a long time and I have never seen anything like
this. Over this past year it has seemed to go from bad
to worse. Tere are simply no resources to support
patients needs, said Jennifer Brykaliuk, support
staf member with the Minnedosa Medical Group.
Te Minnedosa Medical Group welcomed Dr.
Owojori last week, who began to see patients on
Wednesday, March 26th.
We are really glad to see Dr. Owojori here. We
hope that he is welcomed and that he likes it here
and will maybe plan to stay for some time, com-
mented Ray Orr, Mayor of Minnedosa.
Brykaliuk adds that Dr. Owojoris introduction
to the community has been fairly smooth and he
is taking on new patients. However, the number
of new patients he is going to take on will be at his
discretion and will depend on how quickly he will
adjust to the community.
With a new physician in town, Minnedosa still
remains four doctors short of status quo.
We are in constant contact with the Prairie
Mountain Health, but I feel as though their hands are
tied too. Te big struggle is trying to get physicians to
work in rural locations, added Brykaliuk.
The Provincial Government continues to
stand by their goal of ensuring that all Manitobans
have access to high quality care, when they need it,
close to home.

By JENNIFER PAIGE
M
i nnedosa Town
Council is consider-
ing the passing of a new
by-law that will see fees
put in place for the use of
the Minnedosa Wastewa-
ter Treatment Lagoon.
By-law 2534 seeks to
establish fees for the use of
the lagoon as well as regu-
late licensing at the site.
Currently, the Munic-
ipality permits the dispos-
al of sewage from house-
hold and commercial
individual on-site waste-
water disposal systems at
the lagoon.
Te proposed by-law
is looking to establish a
disposal fee based on the
volume of wastewater be-
ing dispensed.
For residents within
Minnedosa town limits, a
minimum per use fee of
$5.00 for up to 4.54 kiloli-
tres may be implemented,
with and additions $0.84
for any portions over 4.54
kilolitres.
A kilolitre is a metric
unit of volume equal to
1,000 liters or one cubic
meter.
T e proposed sew-
age tipping fee rate for
those outside the Town of
Minnedosa is $8.75 mini-
mum per use fee, up to
4.54 kiloliters plus $1.65
per kilolitre for any por-
tions over 4.54.
Te proposed by-law
also states that any sep-
tic haulers must not use a
truck hoist or vibrator to
discharge or dump sew-
age at the lagoon.
If the by-law is passed,
any septic haulers will
be required to submit a
monthly record of waste-
water pickup and disposal
to the Municipality.
Te report must in-
clude the name of the sep-
tic hauler, date of disposal,
municipality from where
the sewage was collected,
volume of each load, and
source of the contents,
name and location of each
property serviced.
Failure to submit re-
port by the 15th day of the
following month will re-
sult in the suspension or
cancellation of deliveries
to the lagoon.
Individuals who fail
to obey or observe provi-
sions laid out in by-law
2534 will be subject to
suspension of privileges
to use the lagoon.
Tis by-law will come
into ef ect following ap-
proval of the public utili-
ties board and receipt of
the third and fnal read-
ing at on upcoming Town
Council meeting.
Member of the public
can access a copy of by-
law 2534 at the Minnedosa

innedosas Town-
view Manor will soon
be undergoing a number
of upgrades and renova-
tions as part of Manitoba
Housing and Community
Developments overall
strategy.
Afordable homes are
a key component of Mani-
toba Housing and Com-
munity Developments
overall strategy to commit
funding for the construc-
tion of 500 more social
housing units and 500 new
af ordable rental units of
the next three years, in ad-
dition to 1,500 social hous-
ing and 1,500 afordable
housing units supported
since 2009, said a Manito-
ba Housing and Commu-
nity Development spokes-
person.
Plans for renovations
to suites within Minnedo-
sas Townview Manner in-
clude new windows, doors,
bathrooms, kitchens,
f ooring and new plumb-
ing throughout.
Manitoba housing is
also planning to recon-
f gure suite sizes, mak-
ing some studios into one
bedroom units. Te reno-
vations and upgrades are
needed as a result of nor-
mal aging of the building.
Te current plan is
to have the project go to
tender by late spring, with
an estimated late summer
start. It is anticipated that
the project will take ap-
proximately 16 months to
complete.
T e total estimated
cost of the project will not
be known until the ten-
der is awarded. Manitoba
Housing also notes that the
work will be done in stag-
es, so that the property will
not have to be completely
vacated during the renova-
tion project.
T e residents will
beneft not only from the
improvements to the units,
but the project will also
create larger suites to bet-
ter meet the current de-
mand.

A new physician has
started in Minnedosa
just last week and a nurse
practitioner is expected
to begin seeing patients
in the community this
spring. Te new physi-
cian will provide primary
care and acute care ser-
vice including coverage
of the Emergency Depart-
ment at Minnedosa Health
Centre, said Jodee Mason
from Manitoba Cabinet
Communications.
Mason noted that
Manitoba Health has pro-
vided more than $311,000
in funding for diagnos-
tic imaging equipment,
$69,000 in surgical instru-
ments and $46,500 in med-
ical device reprocessing
equipment, to Minnedosa
Health Centre since 2012
and that within the last
three years, Manitoba
Health has invested over
$35,000 in hot water sys-
tems at the health centre
and close to $30,000 in up-
grades to the health cen-
tres fre protection system.
While these invest-
ments have benefted the
local health care facilities,
they have done little in the
way of helping those who
are still seeking a family
doctor.
Specif cally to the
family doctor plan, its not
just about hiring more
family doctors. Its about
linking families to the care
they require, continued
Mason.
We are in the pro-
cess of implementing sev-
eral new models of care
throughout Manitoba,
called My Health Team.
Tat could mean providing
care through a nurse prac-
titioner, physician assis-
tant or maybe a dietician
or mental health profes-
sional.
Manitoba Health has
been working to support a
number of initiatives tar-
geted at the recruitment
and retention of physi-
cians, such as expanding
the number of medical
school seats from 70 to
110, covering the costs of
medical school if medical
students agree to work for
up to two-and-half years
in underserved communi-
ties, as well as the Physi-
cian Resettlement Fund
that helps encourage fam-
ily practitioners and spe-
cialists to practice in rural
and northern Manitoba.
T e Province also
supports the Of ce of Ru-
ral and Northern Health,
which provides leadership,
co-ordination and admin-
istration for programs re-
lated to education, recruit-
ment and retention of rural
and northern health care
professionals, noted Ma-
son.
Currently, Manitoba
has twice as many doctors
practicing in rural areas
than the national average
and more than any other
province west of the Mari-
times. Tis includes the
highest percentage of fam-
ily medicine doctors prac-
ticing in rural areas, with
18 percent of family doc-
tored based in rural com-
munities.
Manitoba has more
doctors per capita than our
neighbours in Saskatche-
wan, with 193 in Manitoba
verses 180 in Saskatch-
ewan.
By making invest-
ments across the board,
were helping to direct pa-
tients down the right path,
freeing up doctors to take
on more of the complex
medical cases. Tis is part
of an overall strategy to en-
sure all Manitobans have
access to a family doctor
by 2015, concluded Ma-
son.
Te Town of Minnedo-
sa has also been striving to
improve the local health
care situation by continu-
ing to press forward with
plans to develop a new
medical clinic through pri-
vate investors.
We are certainly
working on this and we
have a prospective investor
that we are currently shar-
ing information back and
forth with right now. At
this point there is nothing
defnite, but the project is
certainly progressing, said
Orr.
We would like to keep
this project geared towards
a private investor as it has
been said that if this proj-
ect were to go through gov-
ernment funding, it would
take much longer to be
completed.
On a positive note,
STARS air ambulance
service was reinstated in
Manitoba on March 8th
following a three-month
suspension.
STARS arrived in
Manitoba in 2011 and
have f own 676 missions
resulting in the trans-
portation of 439 patients.
Tey provide backup to
ground emergency re-
sponse teams, air lifting
and transferring patients
when time is vital.
Te decision to tem-
porarily suspend STARS
was a dif cult one, but I
rely on the advice of medi-
cal experts. Te medical
review process has been
concluded, our medical
team has signed of on the
changes to address patient
safety issues to its satisfac-
tion and STARS will now
be resuming emergency
calls. Tis is an important
frst step to getting STARS
back into full service for
Manitoba families and for
emergency medical ser-
vice in this province, an-
nounced health Minister
Erin Selby, on March 8th.
During the suspen-
sion a number of the
Provinces mutual aid
districts stepped forward
and voiced their concerns
about the serious void the
suspension creates in the
rural emergency response
system.
Pointing out that in
most cases rural frefght-
ing teams are made up
of volunteers and cannot
save lives without the as-
sistance from other emer-
gency medical response
teams.
Following the three-
month suspension, STARS
have undertaken several
new measures to further
enhance patient safety
within its service, includ-
ing, upgrades to equip-
ment, increasing training
as well as working with a
new oversight panel that
includes the dean of med-
icine from the University
of Manitoba.

By Darryl Holyk
Dear Editor,
I
am writing in regards to our
local Ag Society, or should I
say lack of?
I recently heard that there
was a meeting held and that
elections of the board were
held, yet I did not see any no-
tice in any paper or news that this was happening.
I walk my dog through there regularly and I see
what is now the Ag Societys land is a mess. Te barn
which should be used for ag events and functions is a
storage shed for RVs and other items, the arena over
grown with weeds, garbage still in the barn from the
fair which was in July and this was in September. Yes,
we can say that generates revenue for the Ag society
but have they ever tried other things with it?
I was walking in the grounds this past fall and I
approached a young gentleman whom was there with
a bunch of children and their horses in the rodeo are-
na and asked who they were. I come to see that it was
our local 4-H club and this gentleman was one of the
leaders of the club. I asked why they were not using
the new arena up top? His response was that the club
did have permission to use it, but it is unsafe as there
are no rails around the arena and if one of the young
members were to have a scare or runaway there would
be no way of stopping the horse as its open to the
highway and felds. Tey had all these members riding
in one arena which from what I
could see was like concrete.
If you have been to a fair in
recent years you will have seen
a light horse show and heavy
horse show with nobody really
watching and nothing for chil-
dren to do. Tere are only a few
entries in the classes. Ive seen
a lot smaller towns with a way better fair with a pile of
people attending them.
I would recommend you go see the 4-H club year
end show. I did with my wife and the stands were full,
there were a lot of horses, and it was very enjoyable.
Way to go Leaders of that club! Maybe that young gen-
tleman should be running the Ag Society. Maybe we
could see some big changes for the good. Fresh faces
mean fresh ideas. I know that the Ag society is trying to
raise money to get things fnished, maybe a new board
is in order to regain support.
I would like to see a response from the local 4-H
club and the Ag Society as to how they think things are
going. Lets remember that the kids are the future of
the town and Ag Society.
Regards,
Martin Reinhart,
Minnedosa, MB
Fresh Faces Bring Fresh Ideas
Social Advertising...
With new liquor laws coming into ef ect April 1st,
many newspapers were glad to see that we can once
again advertise socials - such as pre-wedding social
events. Such advertisments were prohibited under the
old rules, but with these events being advertised on so-
cial media, the Liquor and Gaming Regulations have
been loosened for other forms of media such as news-
papers. If you have an upcoming social you CAN now
advertise it in Te Tribune! Te ad must include the
phrase Please Drink Responsibly.
More bands
A few more acts have been added to the lineup for
this years Rockin the Fields of Minnedosa set to rock
the shores of Lake Minnedosa this August long week-
end. Te latest name added to the list include Saskatch-
ewans Te Sheepdogs. Others scheduled to appear in-
clude: Tree Days Grace, Bret Michaels, Ecoline Crush,
Tupelo Honey and Danko Jones.
Sports dinner...
Have you noticed the Manitoba sports teams f ags
waving in the wind from our light standards downtown?
Te f ags were put up by the Town crew in preparation
for the Rec Commissions annual Sports Dinner taking
place this weekend. Ticket sales have been steady and
many are looking forward to Russells hometown Olym-
pic hero, Jon Montgomery, who is this years keynote
speaker.
Early deadline
Te Easter long weekend is quickly approaching
and with Te Tribune being a Friday paper, we have to
shift our production schedule to accommodate this
spring celebration. Our of ce will be closed on Good
Friday, which falls on April 18th. Tat means our regu-
lar April 18th edition will be on the street one day early
on Tursday, April 17th. Because of this, we will have
an early deadline of Monday, April 14th at 12 noon that
week only.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Regarding the
2014 Financial Plan
H
ello Minnedosa, and
welcome to the Cops
Corner. Lets get right to
business. Police respond-
ed to 69 calls for service
this reporting period.
An accident on 9th Av-
enue S.W. caused some in-
juries early last week. A ve-
hicle rolled into the ditch
and several people ended
up in hospital. Tis matter
is still under investigation.
Several more impaired
drivers were taken of the
roads as well. Te drivers
will be attending court to
face fnes, and also to fnd
out how long they will be
without a license.
Six accidents were re-
ported during this time
period. Please use caution
on the roads this time of
year. Te freeze, and thaw
can cause icy conditions.
Give yourself a few extra
minutes when leaving the
house. Arrive alive.
Traf c Services took
the cake this week as far as
tickets went. An 18-year-
old male from Duck Lake,
SK was in a real hurry to get
home. He was caught trav-
elling 141km/hr on High-
way #16. He didnt have his
license on him either. As
a result the male received
a $586.75 speeding ticket
and another $113.10 for
not having his license. His
grand total came to $699
and some change. Yikes!
Its a lovely province and
there is no need to speed
out of it... hopefully this
guy learned a lesson, and
will come back to visit
someday again. I bet he
will drive the speed limit
next time and bring his li-
cense though.
I repeat, please exer-
cise caution on the roads,
and as Cst. Sample likes to
say, have a good safe day.

T
he last week of Fraud
Prevention Awareness
Month (March 24th to
28th) has been dedicated
to increasing fraud aware-
ness among seniors.
Help us spread the
word that being aware
of the dif erent types of
frauds and scams that are
out there and taking steps
to protect you from be-
coming a victim is impor-
tant for people of all ages,
including seniors.
Con artists are ex-
perts and often use your
strengths against you.
Sometimes they target se-
niors because seniors are
trusting, optimistic and
courteous about respond-
ing to correspondence.
Con artists are also
very creative and will try
to scam seniors in many
dif erent ways. Some-
times they use the mail to
try and get you to donate
money to a fake charity or
they may call you saying
that your grandchild is in
trouble and that you need
to wire money to get that
relative out of trouble.
As a senior, there
are many ways that you
can protect yourself from
frauds and scams. Re-
member that if it sounds
too good to be true, it
probably is. Here are
some other helpful tips to
consider:
Dont be afraid to
say No.
Take time to collect
more information before
making a decision.
Ask advice from
someone you trust.
Make sure all your
questions are answered.
Dont feel pressured
into committing before
you have a chance to think
things over or collect ad-
ditional information.
Dont give out any
personal information to
anyone you do not know
or trust.
Ignore and delete
suspicious emails asking
for money transfers or
personal information.
For more informa-
tion on the programs and
services available to older
adults, please call the Se-
niors Information Line at
204-945-6565 or toll free
1-800-665-6565. If you
are concerned about your
immediate safety or the
safety of another person,
call 911.
Interested in raising
awareness in your com-
munity about frauds and
scams, consider hosting
a Police Academy Pro-
gram. Te Police Acad-
emy Program is an inno-
vative way to empower
older adults in your com-
munity with information
on various safety topics
such as frauds and scams,
safe driving, falls preven-
tion and elder abuse. For

T
he Little Saskatchewan
River Conservation
District recently took part
in a two-part event hosted
in Winnipeg by the Mani-
toba Conservation Dis-
tricts Association in hon-
our of World Water Day.
T e Manitoba Con-
servation Districts Asso-
ciation is a nonproft group
that represents the 18 dif-
ferent conservation dis-
tricts within Manitoba.
MCDA partnered with
the University of Mani-
toba, Assiniboine Com-
munity College, Take Pride
Winnipeg as well as the 18
conservation districts in
order to host its frst Water
Festival.
Te f rst of this two-
part event was held at
Polo Park on March 22nd
in honour of World Water
Day. Part two of the event
was held on Tursday,
April 3rd at St. Vital Mall.
Tis event was held
in order to celebrate World
Water Day, to acknowl-
edge how important our
fresh water supply is, to
explore how we can better
manage our water resourc-
es, as well as raise aware-
ness to the diferent things
that the water district does
to protect our water ways,
explained Colleen Cuve-
lier, Manager of the Little
Saskatchewan River Con-
servation District.
LSRCD was estab-
lished in 1999 and man-
ages the majority of the
Little Saskatchewan River
watershed and a portion of
the Arrow-Oak watershed,
which stretches over 4,200
square kilometres.
Te conservation dis-
trict is consistently keep-
ing with a myriad of pri-
orities, including, surface
water quality, safe drink-
ing water, managing sur-
face water while minimiz-
ing impacts, ground water
quality and quantity, natu-
ral areas, as well as plac-
ing a continued emphasis
on educational initiatives
similar to this recent event.
Te Water Festival was
showcased in public areas
to allow willing partici-
pants to take the journey of
water over the landscape
of Manitoba with the goal
of educating the public on
the importance of our lim-
ited fresh water.
Te event consisted
of fve interactive stations
that follow the path of wa-
ter and explain how we are
all connected within the
Great Winnipeg Water-
shed.
At the onset, each
participant got a pass-
port.After completing
each activity, they got a
sticker on their passport.
Stations were Circle of
Life (water cycle), Wells
and Groundwater, Make
a Water Bracelet, A Bugs
Life, Building Streams and
Lakes, explained Cuvelier.
In Circle of Life sta-
tion, images of eleven
places water is found were
placed on the foor.At
each location, a dice was
placed. Starting anywhere
on the circle, the kids,
pretending to be water
drops, rolled the dice to
see where they would
move to. Once there,
they were asked, how
did the water get there?
Te event also show-
cased a stream table,
which was used to dem-
onstrate how water fows,
erodes and deposits sedi-
ments, as well as a 3D
model of the Lake Winni-
peg Watershed.
Tis was the f rst ever
event like this and it was
certainly well received. I
am sure that the Manitoba
Conservation Districts As-
sociation will host similar
events in the future, add-
ed Cuvelier.

THE OLDEST wEEKLY NEwSPAPER IN THE CANADIAN wEST
eintr 1883
Thr
By ELMER KASKIW
A
s the snow pack con-
tinues to drop it has
been interesting to watch
how area fields respond
to the melting process.
Initially cereal and canola
stubble seem to see the
quickest drop in snow
pack levels when com-
pared to flax or pulse
stubble. Some of the rea-
soning put forth behind
this difference is that the
hollow stems of cereal
and canola stubble allow
warmer day time tem-
peratures to penetrate
deeper within the snow
pack. This seems to be
even more pronounced in
fields that are harvested
with a stripper header
since there is a longer
straw intact which is able
to retain more heat. This
is in contrast to the solid
stem found in flax and the
lack of upright stubble in
pulse stubble which will
typically see a slower ini-
tial melt. Once the darker
flax and pulse stubble are
exposed they quickly ab-
sorb and retain day time
heating and in most cases
will catch up and even
surpass melting in cereal
and canola stubble.
Another interesting
observation has been the
ability of badgers to dig
fresh holes well out into
the undisturbed snow
pack in fields indicating
depth of frost is certainly
not anywhere near what
is being experienced in
our cities and towns.
As mentioned previ-
ously this is due to the
temperature moderation
that occurs from the air
pockets within the snow
pack. Once these air
pockets are removed the
snow pack takes on the
air temperature, but is not
allowed to recover allow-
ing the frost and colder
air temperatures to pen-
etrate to lower depths.
Recent soil tempera-
ture data from winter
wheat fields indicate that
the coldest soil tempera-
ture at crown depth was
in the -15 degrees Cel-
sius range recorded in
late February and early
March. Since then tem-
peratures have moder-
ated and are currently
fluctuating between 3
and 10 degrees Celsius.
A slow gradual melt is
most often advantageous
to winter wheat since the
longer the crop can be in-
sulated by the snow pack
the better it will be able
to tolerate temperature
fluctuations allowing it
to gradually come out of
dormancy with warming
day and night time tem-
peratures.
A quick melt and
warm temperatures that
break dormancy followed
by a cold snap is often
when we see a higher per-
centage of winterkill in
winter wheat.
Wheat Streak
Mosaic Virus
Control And
Spring Wheat
An issue that arose
last spring and one that
is almost becoming an
annual occurrence is the
control of volunteer win-
ter wheat with glypho-
sate post seeding. In most
years the pre-seeding
burn off will do an excel-
lent job in controlling vol-
unteer winter wheat.
Problems will typi-
cally occur in fields that
were sprayed post seed-
ing where plants were
covered by soil during the
seeding operation. These
plants are unable to ob-
tain sufficient glyphosate
to kill the plant. These
surviving plants results
in a sprinkling of win-
ter wheat throughout
the field allowing for the
green bridge being main-
tained and wheat streak
to take hold and spread to
the spring wheat crop.
Ideally, one should
fall spray any fields with
a history of winter wheat
and if this wasnt pos-
sible one should make
sure to spray these fields
pre-seeding this spring.
Volunteer winter
wheat can be very persis-
tent in a rotation so fields
with any history of winter
wheat should be moni-
tored closely making sure
a pre seeding glyphosate
burn off is implemented.

W
orld Water Day was
March 22nd. And
while Coleridge may have
been speaking of the sea,
his words are a hard and
painful reality in todays
world, where fresh, clean
drinking water is becom-
ing an increasingly rare
commodity.
T e theme of this
years World Water Day
was Water and Energy.
According to the United
Nations Industrial De-
velopment Organization
(UNIDO), eight per cent of
global energy generation
is used to treat, pump and
transport water to con-
sumers.
Tese f gures are only
expected to rise, as the
global population increas-
es and sources of fresh
water are increasingly
threatened. It becomes a
vicious circle the need
to process water requires
large amounts of energy
generation, and yet, large
quantities of water are
required to generate this
energy, particularly for
hydroelectric, nuclear and
thermal energy sources.
(source: UNIDO)
What many people
do not know is that wet-
lands are natures unsung
heroes in the global quest
for clean water. Often re-
ferred to as natures kid-
neys, they help flter im-
purities out of the water
before it winds up in our
watersheds. Te plants
and soils in wetlands re-
move high levels of ni-
trogen and phosphorus.
Some wetland plants have
been found to accumulate
heavy metals in their tis-
sues at 100,000 times the
concentration in the sur-
rounding water. (Source:
ducks.org)
Wetlands have proven
to be water fltration pow-
erhouses, even for large
f ltration jobs. Rather
than building a fltration
plant to treat drinking wa-
ter supplied by upstream
watersheds, New York
City (NYC) entered into a
long-term watershed pro-
tection initiative with up-
stream stake-holders.
NYCs water needs are
considerable: 1.3 billion
gallons per day to 9 mil-
lion people in New York
City. Building a new plant
would have cost $8 billion,
with $200-$300 million in
operating/maintenance
costs. By committing to
the preservation of wet-
lands and having an
Overarching goalto
ensure that undeveloped,
environmentally-sensitive
watershed lands remain
protected and the wa-
tershed continues to be
a source of high-quality
drinking water to the City
and upstate counties, the
overall bill was around
$507 million a savings
of almost $7.5 billion, and
untold amounts of energy
savings as well.
T ese savings of
money and energy are
being felt in Canada as
well. New research from
Ducks Unlimited Canada
(DUC) shows that for ev-
ery $1 that DUC invests
in wetland and natural
land conservation, Cana-
dians enjoy $22 in eco-
nomic, ecological and so-
cietal benefts. Every year,
DUCs investment in wet-
lands has the equivalent
value of $828 million in
waste treatment and water
purifcation and $234 Mil-
lion in regulation of water
fow.
Ducks Unlimited
Canada is working hard to
protect wetlands, so that
they can continue to ben-
eft us all. A world without
fresh water is unthinkable,
and so is a world where
we spend large quantities
of money and energy to
obtain it. On World Wa-
ter Day, think about wet-
lands, natures unsung
hero, and help us ensure
that they will be around
to help us out for genera-
tions to come.

Dear Reena,
I am in desperate
need of some help with
my problem!I accident-
ly got pinkish white nail
polish splashed onto my
brand new stained cabi-
nets (the cabinets are dark
stained)and I need to
know how I should get it
of!We got the nail polish
of of the front of the cabi-
nets before it dried, but
didnt get to the side of the
cabinet before it dried.So
it has left two big pinkish-
white streaks.I just dont
want to ruin the cabinets
by trying solutions, if I can
help it.So a co-worker di-
rected me to you! If you
can help me, I would ap-
preciate it more than you
will ever know!Kristen
Dear Kristen,
Make sure to test all
products on an incon-
spicuous area before using
them on your cupboards.
Spray area with WD-40,
leave for 10 mins. Gently
rub with a slightly abrasive
cloth. After nail polish has
faded, clean the area with
dish soap and water.
Update from Kristen: We
ended up getting the nail
polish of with Mr. Clean
Magic Eraser! Took it of
like a charm and didnt
damage my cabinets at all!
Dear Reena,
How do I prevent lifes
little critters from feasting
on my corn? Lindsay
Dear Lindsay,
To keep birds and
small animals from eating
corn, secure thin, dark co-
loured string or wire in a
zigzag pattern across the
bed. String should be about
3 cm above the ground lev-
el. Not being able to walk
properly will frustrate the
birds and encourage them
to leave. Also, keep birds
away from the garden by
placing a pinwheel nearby.
Or attach aluminum foil
strips to a stake. If you hap-
pen to have an artifcial
owl lying around the yard
place it high in the garden
to deter feather folk.
Dear Reena,
I spilled candle wax
on my sealed wooden
deck and I want to clean
the mess. What is the best
technique to remove the
wax? Betty
Dear Betty,
Candle wax on a
sealed wooden deck can
be removed using a putty
knife and grease remov-
er (test remover). Steam
clean, heat with an iron or
apply hot water and a little
pressure.
Dear Reena,
We live in the coun-
try and love to watch and
feed wild birds. We have a
journal and keep track of
the types of birds that visit
our yard each year. Can
you give us a tip on storing
lots of bird seed? We buy
it in large plastic bags that
tend to tip over and make
a mess on the garage foor.
Lawrence
Dear Lawrence,
Store birdseed in;
aplastic 20 gallon gar-
bage can (with or without
wheels). Tis is inexpen-
sive and holds more than a
50 pound bag of seed, it is
fairly easy to carry because
of the handles, and comes
with a lid. Makes food easy
to access for quick flling.
Less mess, and less time.
Fabulous Tips
of the Week:
Rub a shelled wal-
nut over furniture to hide
scratches on wood furni-
ture. Kyah
Make your own laun-
dry detergent; grate one
eighth bar Sunlight laun-
dry soap and combine with
one quarter cup borax.
Toss clothes into the wash-
ing machine and mixture
onto fabric. Clothes always
come out clean; I have
been doing this for years.
Vanessa
A tackle box works well
for storing girl hairclips
and elastics. Te baubles
and bands go in the small
upper trays and brushes/
product/etc. in the lar-
ger bottom part. And the
whole thing can be stashed
in a cabinet or drawer. To
keep ponytail holders even
more organized, purchase
one of those binder rings
from your nearby of ce
supply store. Mertle
