fter months of stress and worry related to the local


rodeo grounds moving from its long-time location
at the fairgrounds to the new Ag grounds, Minnedosas
annual August long-weekend rodeo performance went
off without any major hiccups. Actually, it was a huge
success with the highest entry numbers of any Heartland Rodeo performance in Manitoba this year. We
had 96 sets of team ropers and bull numbers were up
with 24 seniors and 14 juniors, indicated Minnedosa

Rodeo President, Greg Woychyshyn.


Due to the high entry numbers, a Sunday morning
slack performance was held. This performance alone
saw 35 team ropers, 29 barrel racers, 10 breakaway roping competitors, eight goat tying competitors and six
steer wrestlers. Basically we put three days of Heartland Rodeo performances into two days because of the
slack on Sunday morning. That was a full performance
itself, said Greg.

Casting calls were
announced for Winnipeg, Brandon, Virden and
Minnedosa with an estimated 2,000 extras being
sought for the film. Locally, the film has secured
a rural location for shoot-

Dennis Quaid has
filmed in Manitoba before,

noted that he had never

Winnipeg for that project. We trust that the actor will find the Manitoba
summer to be much more
agreeable when he returns
in the coming weeks.

First Year At New Rodeo Grounds A Success


Continued from Page 1
Part of the reason
Minnedosa is so successful
in drawing large competitor numbers, in addition
to hard working volunteers
and excellent facilities, is its
location. People like coming here because its a good,
central location so we can
draw people from all directions, explained Greg.
That helps our attendance
and this has been by far our
biggest year of competitor
numbers ever.
This years Minnedosa
Rodeo drew its usual crowd
of approximately 1,500
people over the three day
weekend. In addition to
the three Heartland Rodeo
performances, this years
weekend again featured a
3D Manitoba Barrel Racing
Association event, Saturday
afternoon and wrapped
up with a Manitoba High
School rodeo performance
on Monday. Other weekend attractions included
Family Day on Sunday
with Diggin for Gold, pony
rides, miniature train rides,

cowgirl and Manitoba High
School Rodeo Queen, Sarah Stemmer.
This years Minnedosa
Heartland Rodeo opened
Saturday night. Following
the national anthem and
cowboy prayer, a special
tribute to long-time rodeo
competitor and supporter,
Terry Marshall was made
by President Woychyshyn.
Th e local committee unveiled a lifetime rodeo
sponsorship for M2 Ranch
Terry Marshall and Family in memory of Terry and

his dedication to rodeo.


We thought it was the right
thing to do and members
of his family will be rodeoing here for many years to
come, stated Greg.
A number of merchandise and food vendors were
on site this year with competitors and spectators
enjoying a breakfast buffet
each day of rodeo. In addition to the canteen and
food vendors, two special
evening meals were held a BBQ rib supper Saturday
night followed by a Kiel-

basa and Perogy supper on


Sunday. The annual rodeo
social and auction was held
in the new Ag building and
featured live music by Adriane Gaudrey Band.
Following last years
rodeo, the outdoor rodeo
arena was taken apart and
relocated to the new site
north of the Ag building. In
preparation of this years
rodeo, a lot of hard work
went into the site to ensure
everything was looking
good and functional for the
2015 rodeo weekend.

Greg indicated that


rodeo committee members and other volunteers
have been steadily working at the site following
the Minnedosa Fair during the Fun Fest weekend.
Weve been out here pretty
much every night and put
in about 2,000 man hours,
estimated Greg. We were
lucky to have a lot of help
from some extra volunteers
who dropped by and gave
us a hand to get things in
order before the first day of
rodeo. It was great to have a
few extra hands to help us
tie up some loose ends. It
was awfully worrisome for
the past few months.
Many gallons of red
and white paint went into
the site repainting the outdoor rodeo facility which
hadnt been freshened up
for a few years. The rodeo
committee also purchased
and installed a chain link
fence to assist with crowd
control. This is our final
resting spot so we dont
mind putting something
like that in, said Greg. Its
going to be good for the
whole facility not just rodeo. For this project, the
committee had to dip into

its financial account a little


heavier than other years.
Th e fence was a $10,000
purchase but to save additional labour costs, the
committee and volunteers
installed the fence themselves, fi nishing up last
Th ursday, just before the
Saturday rodeo kick-off.
With the fi rst year of
rodeo at the new site under
their belt, the committee
is pleased with how everything went. There will be
some minor changes to the
facility set up before next
years rodeo to make things
run just a little smoother for
everyone. Were going to
change the bucking chutes
delivery so they can deliver
out of both sides and we
are going to reposition the
announcers booth on an
angle so that they are not
staring directly into the sun
during the afternoon, indicated Greg. There are also
plans for some adjustments
to make things work a bit
better for the stock contractor and minor changes to
improve the setup of the
sound system so that the
rodeo crowd can hear the
announcer better.

ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND...

Perfect weather for the August long weekend had


Minnedosa a true Manitoba hot spot this year. Thousands of out-of-town visitors flocked to our community
for two of the summers most anticipated events. For music fans, Rockin the Fields of Minnedosa was the place
to be this August long. For rodeo cowboys and cowgirls,
the local rodeo was the attraction to attend. While each
of these locally organized events draw different crowds
of people, the one thing that both do is bring an audience of people who travel many miles to get to our valley
paradise. License plates from all across Canada and into
the United States could be seen at the Rockin the Fields
site while the rodeo drew competitors and spectators
from all across Manitoba and beyond. Mondays High
School Rodeo alone attracted competitors from 36 different communities with some travelling here from nearby
Saskatchewan and North Dakota. Such events are great
for our local tourism industry and economy. While there
may not be a lot of shopping going on during the busy
weekend, a couple things are guaranteed, these visitors
need to eat and refuel their trucks, trailers and camping
vehicles before heading back home. Some out-of-town
dollars were certainly spent here this past weekend.

Mavs at Provincials

The Minnedosa Mavericks will compete in the Senior AA provincials this weekend in Hamiota. They are
up against eight other teams. We wish them luck in advancing to Sundays Semifinals! The team recently won
another regular season in the Santa Clara League with
an 11-1 record for this year. They played Carberry in the
Semi Finals with three game winning scores of 7-5, 13-3
and 9-3. They are now on to playing the next round of
semi fi nals which will start here at the home field next
Friday evening.

October election...

Prime Minister Harper brought down the writ on


Sunday of the August long weekend. Monday, October
19th has been announced as voting day for Canadas next
Federal Election.

Political Parties Should Pay Own Way


By TODD MACKAY
Prairie Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

overnments spend money on all kinds of foolish things from robotic Christmas trees to beer
growlers to pensions for former members of parliament who are criminals. The Canadian Taxpayers
Federation (CTF) works hard to reduce government
waste and were not going to run out of work any time
soon. But accountability is another key pillar of our
work so we dont quibble over the funding for one
government function: democratic institutions.
A debate is raging as to whether its right for
Prime Minister Stephen Harper to call a very early
election and some people are concerned about additional costs incurred by a long campaign.
The reality is that the most expensive day of an
election is the last one. Most of the public money is
spent to collect and count the votes on Election Day.
Its like farming: whether the growing season is long
or short most of the expenses come at seeding and
harvest and the days in the middle dont impact the
cost very much.
We dont begrudge the money spent by Elections
Canada regardless of the length of the campaign because elections are worth it. But we certainly do begrudge the money political parties siphon out of taxpayers pockets.
For every dollar a political party spends during a
campaign, taxpayers end up paying 60 cents. Thats
because political parties get a rebate of 60 per cent
for campaign costs from government coffers after the
election is over. A longer campaign would give political parties the chance to spend more and therefore
bill taxpayers for more costs. Thats not right.

However, the problem isnt the length of the


campaign. If political parties want to spend their
own money, theyre welcome to campaign as long as
they like. The problem is the ridiculous rebate they
take from taxpayers afterwards. We need to get rid of
those rebates and force political parties to raise money on their own merits.
While were on the topic, theres another campaign fi nance issue that needs to be fixed. When
people donate $400 to a charity, they might get about
$140 back on their taxes. If people give $400 to a political party, they get $300 back on their taxes.
The House of Commons can turn almost any issue into a desk-thumping, opponent-heckling roar
of debate. Ask why political donations should get a
better deal than charitable donations and its quiet
enough to hear crickets chirping. Political parties are
good for society and even heated debates are healthy,
but surely nobody thinks the work theyre doing is
more important than the care charitable organizations provide for people who desperately it. Political
donations get big rebates simply because politicians
are the ones making the rules.
Whether political candidates are on the campaign trail for a few weeks or a few months, they
should spend their own money. Right now they take
donations and spend money with a wink and a nod
because taxpayers will be footing most of the bill
anyway. A longer election will make that bill bigger.
But the problem isnt the bill itself, the problem is
the wrong people are paying for it. Political parties
will be more accountable if they have to earn donations by persuading people to buy into their vision for the country rather than reaching for rebates
from taxpayers.

Am I Your Next Customer?


Living in
Paradise
By

VERN MAY

EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC

o you make too much


money? If your business is booming, I suppose there is no reason for
us to know one another.
We can resign ourselves
to a simple nod when we
meet on the sidewalk or
the prairie wave over the
steering wheel when we
cross paths down the road.
But maybe business
could be better. Perhaps
you could afford one more
customer.
Maybe that
could be me. I arrived in
the community with my
family six months ago on
the promise of opportunity and we have decided
to stay. Chances are, unless you deal exclusively
in mens haircuts (which
I havent needed since
2005) maybe we are in the
market to become your
next loyal clients.
As a husband and father I need to feed em,
clothe em, house em,
entertain em, keep em
safe, provide for their future and transport em.
Thats just addressing basic needs. Do any of those
services apply to your
business?
If youve given some
thought to your market
and the demographics
that youre most interested in, there is a high likelihood that young dual income families with kids fill
a particular niche in the
growth of your business.
Its likely that this type of

customer is as important
to you as a client today
as well as their word of
mouth testimony to others
in the future. So why dont
we know each other? Are
you only in business to
serve friends and family?
This town isnt THAT big.
In prairie towns, it is
easy for our merchants
to become complacent
about the marketing element of their business.
After an initial ad, a grand
opening event, and maybe
an introductory story in
Th e Minnedosa Tribune,
we settle in to fish within
our own social network to
build our client base and
create work for ourselves.
With a successful
launch under your belt,
youll field congratulatory
messages from friends
and neighbours when
you run into them over
the next few weeks allowing the opportunity to
share your vision for your
company. After a month,
theyre only making conversation when they ask
hows business? The initial excitement fades and
everyone settles into their
old routines.
Two months later,
a new family moves to
town and they start to get
introduced to the community.
Theyll glean
some information from
The Tribune, get referrals from co-workers and
from posters in shop win-

selecting this community for its combination
of peaceful country living

their past relationships

unnecessary and unwelcome competition to the

Bloom Judges Check Out Minnedosa Highlights


By DARRYL HOLYK

innedosa welcomed
Communities
in
Bloom judges, Glenda
MacPhee and Shawna
Phillips for a tour of our
community last Thursday,
July 30th. Local tour guides,
Linda Bertram from the
Minnedosa Communities
in Bloom committee and
Mayor Ray Orr pointed
out some of Minnedosas
many highlights.
The judges tour gave
Glenda and Shawna an
opportunity to view every aspect of Minnedosa
from residential areas and
commercial, industry, recreation and tourism, our
communities heritage and
plans for the future.
Glenda and Shawna
were treated to a Victorian
tea on the porch of the Cadurcis House at the Heritage Village. Following tea
and a treat of homemade
old-fashioned cookies, the
judges were given a tour
of the Cadurcis House by
Museum volunteer, Marg
Kingdon who grew up in
the house. They were also
given a tour of the Octa-

gon building by Rae Christiansen and learned some


museum history from Lifetime Museum member,
Jim Kingdon.
After another stretch
of tourism, the judges
were treated to a meet
and greet lunch at the 50+
Centre attended by approximately 40 people. It
was then off on the afternoon leg of the tour which
began with a walk-about
around the Cenataph, Library and Archives and
Tanners Crossing Park.
An out-of-town tour stop
for the judges was a visit
to the Evergreen EnvironmentalTechnologies
(regional waste facility).
Th e ladies spent some

Hometown cowgirl Amy Maguire competes in High School Barrel Racing.Minnedosas Manitoba High School Rodeo Queen, Sarah Stemmer.
By DARRYL HOLYK

n August 1995 the very


fi rst performance of the
Manitoba High School Rodeo Association was held
in Minnedosa. Twenty
years later, the association
kicked off its 21st season
back where it all began!
As the fi
nal day of the
annual Minnedosa Rodeo,
this years High School Rodeo was held on Monday,

August 3rd. The performance opened with a special tribute and moment
of silence for long time
high School Rodeo supporter, Marilyn Cochrane
of Onanole.
Current High School
Rodeo Queen, Minnedosas Sarah Stemmer, carried the Canadian flag
during the opening ceremonies. Sarah recently
competed at the National

High School Finals Rodeo


in Wyoming. Although
she met with a slight accident and injury, she represented Manitoba proudly
and placed 33rd out of 43
competitors from all over
North America. Her grand
total score in the Finals
was 468.25. This includes
personal scores of 86 for
Horsemanship, 87 for Personal Interview, 45 for
Modelling, 103 for Speech,

45 for Personality, 37.5 for


Appearance, 49 for Impromptu Speech and 15.75
for Test.
Sarah competed again
Monday in her hometown
High School Rodeo. In
High School Barrel Racing, Sarah earned a time
of 24.681 placing her
19th out of 22 entrants.
In Pole Bending, Sarah
placed eighth with a time
of 26.428. Another home-

town cowgirl competing


in these two events was
Amy Maguire. Amy placed
13th in Barrel Racing with
a time of 21.344 and 12th
in Pole bending with a
time of 29.748. Emma-Jean
Koscielny of Strathclair
also competed in the High
School Barrel Racing event
earning a time of 42.914.
Mondays rodeo featured Junior High and High
School age events such as

goat tying, tie-down roping, ribbon roping, breakaway roping, steer wrestling, chute dogging, barrel
racing, pole bending, team
roping and of course, the
always popular bull riding!
In addition to Manitoba
competitors, the rodeo
also featured a few registered competitors from
nearby Saskatchewan and
North Dakota.

Rockin The Fields Hits A Grand Slam


By VERN MAY

he symphony of lightning dancing across


the sky on Saturday night
seemed somewhat fitting
as a backdrop for the action taking place on the
eastern shore of Minnedosa Lake. Indeed, the atmosphere was electrically
charged for the twelfth annual Rockin the Fields of
Minnedosa weekend, an
event which continues to
grow both in numbers and
by reputation with each
passing year.
Ordinarily, the angry skies are cause for
folks to run for cover, but
it seemed ironically appropriate that the one
time over the weekend
when the skies opened up
seemed to coincide with
the band Moist taking
the stage. The crowd was
indeed soaking wet, but
nothing could dampen
their enthusiasm that evening, and the beats rolled
on.
The fantastic strategic
scheduling of the main
stage acts needs to be acknowledged. Friday night
featured a nostalgic feel
as Night Ranger took to
the stage playing not only
their own hits, but also
some of the iconic medleys of that era of music

Photo by Darryl Holyk

including hits from Alice


Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne
and other crowd favourites. Saturday night saw
even more people in the
concert bowl for powerful performances by both
co-headliners Moist and
the Tea Party with great
supporting shows from
Pigeon Park and Wide
Mouth Mason to set the
tone for the finale. By day
three, when many festivals see enthusiasm start
to wane (or the pace of the
weekend start to catch up
with the attendees), the
momentum kept building
with the largest crowds

of the weekend for high


energy sets by Econoline Crush and the Glorious Sons capped off by
Daughtrys show stealing
main event.
The acts on the Heritage Co-op stage were
also strong, inspiring the
crowd on hand to tap their
toes along with the beat
and to rise and get into the
groove.
This years festival attracted music fans from
far and wide. Among the
visitors on site included
patrons from Newfoundland, New Brunswick,
Saskatchewan,
Alberta,
British Columbia, North
Dakota and Oregon. For
some, the combination
of talent lined up for the
Minnedosa event was too
good to resist.
I have been pumped
for this show for months,
said James Moore of Stephenville, Newfoundland.
Moore, who made the trek
to Manitobas Valley Paradise from Red Deer, Alberta where hes working as a
tradesman had planned to
catch some of the acts individually when their travels take them further west
this fall, but was elated to
see the Sunday line up included his full wish list of
concerts for the year. The
Glorious Sons are wicked!

Photo by Darryl Holyk

A large crowd filled the concert bowl during each RFM performance
as fans cheered, danced and sang along to their favourite songs.
While the atmosphere
was festive throughout
the weekend, it wasnt
only a party hardy crowd
at this years event. The
welcoming and open environment saw music fans
of all ages on site from
sandaled toddlers to seniors.
Supported by a strong
team of volunteers from
throughout the community, the Rockin the
Fields committee can
take a well-deserved rest
following a grand slam
success over the August
long weekend this year.
But we know work will
be underway again soon,
its only 358 days until the
2016 event.

Delta Waterfowl Honours Partnership With Dmytriw Family


SUBMITTED

elta Waterfowl has


a long relationship
with the landowner community in what waterfowl biologists refer to as
the Minnedosa Pothole
Country. This past Sunday, it celebrated a particular partnership with
the local Dmytriw family
that stretches back as far as
1980.
Steve Dmytriw, whos
father came to Canada to
settle in the Basswood area
in 1913, notes that their
family has always been
interested in the ducks
that nest and raise their
ducklings on their farm,
which is near Rapid City.
As a family weve always
followed the research and
management work that
Delta Waterfowl has done
on our farm, from nest
searching to the predator
management work they
do, said Dmytriw. Tyson
Dmytriw, one of Steve and
Bernices three sons, owns
an adjacent farm with his
wife Pam and is carrying
on the tradition of partnership with Delta Waterfowl.
Mike Johnson is a

graduate student enrolled


in the University of Minnesota and is managing
a crew of over a dozen
student assistants based
at Delta Waterfowls field
station located a few miles
southeast of Minnedosa.
Johnson is the latest of a
long line of graduate students to conduct their
graduate research on the
waterfowl that nest and
raise their broods within
the privately owned pothole country that stretches from central Manitoba
all the way west to Alberta
and south as far as Iowa.
The current study is testing the effects of predator
(mostly raccoon) removal
on the nest success of
ducks (such as Canvasbacks) that nest in the
fl ooded cover within wetland margins.
On Sunday, Johnson
attended at the Dmytriw
farm to deliver a commemorative sign that
recognizes the long relationship with the Dmytriw family. The history
of our partnership with
the Dmytriw family is incredible. We could not do
the work we do for ducks

without help from landowners like Steve and Tyson, noted Johnson.
Jonathan Scarth, who
works at Deltas Winnipeg office, refl ected on
the long history of research and management
work Delta Waterfowl
has conducted in the
Minnedosa area, and the
enduring friendships that

have been built over the


decades. Delta Waterfowl is the duck hunters
organization, and all of
our members across the
United States and Canada
appreciate the role that
private landowners play
in conserving wetland and
upland habitat for ducks,
said Scarth.

By ELMER KASKIW

oderate to normal
temperatures
and
scattered thundershowers
allowed for continued
favourable conditions for
crop development as the
2015 crop approaches
maturity. Most winter
cereals are now in the
firm to hard dough stage
of
development
with
some fields in more
southern areas now being
desiccated and harvested
with average yields being
reported. Early seeded
spring cereals are now
in the soft dough stage
and are approaching
recommended
stages
for desiccation. Canola
crops have responded
favourably to the moderate
temperatures and recent
rainfall with non reseeded
canola fields now in
the pod fill stage while
most
reseeded
fields
are beginning to come
out of flower. Field peas
are now beginning to
experience dry down with
some fields having preharvest desiccation being
applied. Flax fields are now

coming out of flower and


have experienced some
lodging due to the recent
heavy
thundershowers.
Soybeans continue to
respond favourably to the
recent rains and excellent
growing conditions with
the majority of crops now
well advanced into the
R4 (full pod) to early R5
(beginning seed) stage of
development.
Plant Responses to
Moisture at Maturity
A plants response to
moisture in August will
depend upon its stage
of maturity. Once a crop
begins to mature and dry
down its water use drops
dramatically. The amount
of water plants receive at
this stage can be critical in
determining final yield. A
lack of moisture and plants
will dry up and not fill
maximum seed set while
too much moisture results
in plants experiencing
excess moisture stress. The
crops root system at the
later stages of maturation
is in the process of shutting
down and therefore can
no longer deal with the

Solutions and
Substitutions
By

REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
I purchased a new set
of dishes, only to find there
are scratches left from the
cutlery after use. This is
the second dinnerware set
I have had difficulty with,
the dishes have both been
ivory in color and a matte
finish. Is there some kind
of glaze that hardens the
finish, thereby preventing
scratches? I have been told
there is a cleaner on the
market which will remove
the scratches each time the
dishes are used and that
the problem could be the
cutlery. My set is stainless
steel and several years old
but in excellent shape. Any
suggestions? Cathy
Dear Cathy,
Patina develops when
the coating on glass is
damaged. I am not aware

of a food safe glaze that


will properly adhere to
dishes. The top picks to
fix this challenge are to
scrub the plates with
one of the following: Zud
or Barkeepers Friend.
Or rub the plates with
extra fine 0000 steel wool
and ceramic glass top
stove cleaner. Extra fine
steel wool is available at
hardware and paint stores.
Dear Reena,
I have a business from
my home and I ship fragile
items to customers across
Canada. More than once,
the items have broken in
transit. How can I package
the merchandise so that
they stay intact? Louise
Dear Louise,
Begin by wrapping
the contents with white

excess moisture and can


result in a drowning of
the remaining roots and a
premature death and drydown of the plant. This is
why we can often see the
maturation or turning of a
crop actually be enhanced
after a heavy rain in the fall.
In the case of soybeans
we actually see the water
use by soybeans increase
significantly during the
month of August. The
water uptake by soybeans
will peak during this
month where plants will
utilize approximately
inch of water per day. This
moisture is critical for pod
formation and maximum
seed fill. When soybeans
are drought and heat
stressed they will often
respond by flipping their
leaves over which reflects
solar energy and reduces
water loss. During drought,
soybean plants close their
stomata to conserve water
but at the same time this
reduces the amount of C02
that is taken into the plant
and converted to plant
tissue, thus reducing seed
set and yield.

Physiological Maturity
in Wheat
One of the best ways to
determine if a wheat head
has reached physiological
maturity and is ready for
desiccation is to examine
both the stem just below
the head called the
peduncle and the lower
glumes of the seed head.
If this portion of the stem
has lost its green color and
the lower glumes still only
have a hint or tinge of green
remaining then the plant
has reached physiological
maturity and is ready for
desiccation. Generally the
glumes at the bottom of
the seed head are the last
to lose their green color
so having only a hint of
green will mean the rest
of the head has matured.
A loss of green color in the
peduncle area of the stem
also indicates no further
translocation of moisture
and
nutrients
again
indicating maximum seed
head filling has occurred.
Physiological Maturity in
Field Peas
One of the best ways to
determine if field peas

have reached physiological


maturity and are ready for
desiccation is to examine
the pea pods in each third
of the plant. Field pea
plants mature from the
bottom to the top. When
examining a pea crop,
look for a large majority
of plants to have tan pods
on the bottom, yellow to
tan pods in the middle
area and yellow to green
pods on the top. Seeds in
bottom third of pods will
be very firm and require
some force to dent the seed
coat, seeds from middle
third of pods will flatten
somewhat with pressure
between the thumb and
finger, and seeds from the
upper third of pods will
be fairly soft and with a
little pressure will split
into two cotyledons. The
stalk at the top of the pod
in the middle third of plant
should also see a loss of
green color indicating no
further translocation of
nutrients and moisture
and that maximum seed
fill has occurred.

Perfect Packing
for Shipping
tissue paper. This will
protect the items and
avoid discoloration. Next
wrap the items with small
bubble wrap and secure
the bubble wrap with
packing tape followed by
large bubble wrap and
packing tape. Fill the box
with Styrofoam peanuts.
Check the box to make sure
that it is sturdy and has no
weak seams. Pack the box
to the top, because a full
box reduces the chance
of items moving around
inside. Lastly, using a thick
permanent marker, write
FRAGILE on the outside
of the box. Alternatively
you may want to consider
using green items to
ship products, while still
presenting a professional
image to recipients. Such
items include: recycling
newspaper, biodegradable

packing peanuts (dissolve


when exposed to water)
and plain popcorn.
Dear Reena,
I have an oak night
stand on which a small
lamp sits that has a
black velvet type bottom
underneath its stand.
I have noticed that the
black velvet has actually
stained the oak a black
colour. I guess when the
lamp is standing maybe
the heat from it allows the
black to transfer onto the
wood? Not sure how or
why this has happened but
would like to know if you
can advise me on how to
remove the stain from the
wood. Sonja
Dear Sonja,
In a ventilated area,
spray the wood with WD40 (test first). Leave for

20 mins. and wipe with


an abrasive pad (not
steel wool). If the stain
remains the woods needs
resurfacing, in other words
sand and re-stain.
Dear Reena,
Is it true that what you
put on your skin i.e. bug
repellent actually goes into
your body? Sounds like
an Old Wives Tale to me?
Brandon
Dear Brandon,
Well Im not a doctor
so here is an experiment
that you can use to test
whether skin is porous.
Rub a garlic clove onto the
soles of your feet; chances
are that eventually you
will taste garlic in your
mouth. Conclusionskin
is porous.

Elk Link Provides New Scenic Trail Adventures


By DARRYL HOLYK

ver 80 people gathered at Elk Park in


Onanole last Friday, July
31st to celebrate the official
opening of the Elk Link of
the Riding Mountain Trans
Canada Trail Network.
Th e new link begins
at Elk Park and provides
an opportunity for walkers, hikers and bikers to
experience some beautiful country along a trail
system which connects

Trans Canada Trail and


Riding Mountain National
Park and thought there
must be a link connecting
the two together but there
never was, said Richard
Dupuis of Parks Canada.
The total cost of the
project was $80,000 with
funding coming from various sources. The primary
funds included a $40,000
investment from the Federal Government through
Action Plan Canada and
the National Trail Co-

this proposal, said Member of Parliament, Robert


Sopuck. It was certainly
easy to support and easy
to sell the government on.
Th e national beauty of
the surrounding area, the
parkland is truly an incredible place to live. We care
for the land and when we
do developments like the
trail it only augments the
experience that we cherish
so much.
The new, nature portions of the trail were constructed by Derek Dudman of True Grit Sand and
Gravel of Onanole. In addition to the natural beauty
of trees, natural vegetation
and water along the trail,
Municipality of Clanwilliam-Erickson Mayor, Elgin Hall reminded those
in attendance of another
valuable aspect of Elk Link
history. As you walk near
the Ditch Lake Route you
will be walking in front
of four Centennial Farms
and you will be walking
within a mile of six more
Centennial Farms. You will
also walk by a 110-yearold church and from that
same corner you will see
a school which no longer
operates but is over 100
years old. The absorption
of the history of the area
only adds to the quality of
the trail experience.
Elgin also reminded
trail users to be careful
on the trail and be on the

lookout for wildlife. I have
personally seen moose,
elk, bear, bobcat, wolves,
coyotes, skunks, squirrels
and mice, so you wont be
alone.
One of the highlight
sections of Elk Link passes
through private property
near Erickson. Property
owner, Norval Lee, was
acknowledged for his cooperation and generosity
in assisting the project and
allowing users to enjoy the
portion of the trail on his
land. One of the trails nu-

merous picnic tables and


resting spots are located
on Norvals land near a historic barn. Users will also
fi nd a number of benches
along the link featuring a
name plaque in memory of
former R.M. of Park councillor Vern Jordan.
Th e Elk Link map
and signage was designed locally by Derek
Boyd and Mitch Gusdal
of The Graphic Factory in
Onanole. Small trail signage can be found along
Elk Link pointing out sig-

and a variety of wildlife.
with the Onanole Trail and
Riding Mountain National
Park to the north and the
Trans Canada Trail near
the junction of Highways
#10 and #45 northwest of
Erickson to the south. Elk
Link is the first of four links
planned to connect Riding
Mountain National Park
to the Trans Canada Trail
along the old rail bed. The
15.8 km Elk Link trail takes
users along paved roads,
gravel roads and newly
constructed nature paths
through forest areas and
open fields.
I remember coming
to this area in about 1998
and I knew there was a

alition. The Provincial


Government supported
the project with $15,000
through its Community
places program. An additional $15,000 came
from the Municipality of
Harrison Park with the
Municipality of Clanwilliam-Erickson contributing $8,000. The remaining funds to complete the
project came from the
Rossburn Subdivision
Trails Association, which
is the steward of the Trans
Canada Trail between Russell and Neepawa.
All the credit goes
to the volunteers and the
crew who came to me with

nificant points of interest.


Fridays formal opening ceremony was emceed
by Ed Mazur who steered
the Rossburn Subdivision
Trail Association for the
Elk Link and committed a
great deal of time, energy,
expertise and enthusiasm
for this valuable community project. Greetings and
messages of congratulation were brought from
the various levels of government and partners involved in the project. Immediately following the
formal opening ceremony,
hot dogs, drinks and ice
cream were served compliments of Woods Supermarket.
After lunch, all in attendance were encouraged to visit the Elk Link
trail, either on their own
or as part of opening days
guided hiking and biking
tours.
Next time you are in
the Onanole area, set aside
some time to re-acquaint
yourself with the areas

out part or all of the new
Elk Link of the Riding

Trail Network.
