Addressing Childhood Bullying


By DARRYL HOLYK

ow that students are


back in school for another season, the age old
ugly topic of bullying is
again in the minds of parents, children and educators. Safe Schools Manitoba, through the Manitoba
School Boards Association
is encouraging parents to
watch for warning signs
and take action against
bullying. They have recently released a guide for parents to better understand
and respond to bullying.
Your child may be a
victim of bullying. If he
or she does not tell you,
how will you know? According to Safe Schools
Manitoba there are a few
key characteristics bullied
children display. They may
withdraw from friends and
family or no longer want
to participate in activities
they previously enjoyed.
They may have sudden
sleep problems, stomach
aches, headaches or have
a change in appetite. A

child being bullied may


display feelings of sadness,
anxiety, anger or frustration as well as displaying
feelings of shame and low
self-worth. Other warning signs of possible bullying could be reluctance
to go to school, concerns
about riding the school
bus or walking to and from
school, distress or anger
when online or using a cell
phone. Parents should also
take note if their child is
coming home with unexplained bruises and damaged or missing possessions.
If you think your child
may be a victim of bullying
how do you address this?
First, talk to your child. Assure the child that they can
talk to you about anything
and that whatever is going
on is not his or her fault.
Once your child opens up
about scenarios of bullying
be sure to listen very carefully to the details. If your
child is being cyber bullied,
print out and keep records
of the incidents do not

delete anything that could


be used as evidence. Be
sure to keep open lines of
communication with your
school and your child. Ask
them how things are going
at school on a regular, daily
basis. After learning your
child has been a victim of
bullying, take every opportunity to build your childs
self confidence and encourage new friendships
through participation in
school or community activities or play time outside
of school.
Once you have determined that your child has
been the victim of bullying
what is the next step as a
concerned parent? While
many parents may want
to contact the bullys parents directly, it is best to
let your childs school deal
with this. The first person you should approach
with your concerns is your
childs teacher. Share with
him or her what your child
has shared with you about
their bullying experience.
If you and the teacher are

not able to solve the problem ask for a meeting with


the school principal and if
you still get no resolution
to the problem, keep going higher. Contact your
School Division Superintendent and if all of these
avenues fail in resolving
the problem, contact Dr.
Mary Hall, Director of
Schools Manitoba. Her
contact information is
listed at the bottom of this
article.
If you are a parent on
the other end of the scenario and your child is
the one that has been accused of bullying others,
what do you do? First, do
not automatically assume
your child is innocent nor
should you assume he or
she is guilty. Contact your
childs school to determine
the nature and extent of
your childs involvement
with bullying. Approach
your child about it and
challenge any claims of
innocence or victim blaming. Discuss, in depth,
with your child, the negative impact of words and
actions toward another
student. While communication with your childs
school, try to determine
the root causes of the bullying, determine proper
consequences for acts of
bullying and if required,
consider counselling for
your child. Encourage your
child to build respectful
relationships with other
students, showing com-

Know how to deal with bullying.
passion, empathy and inclusion. As time goes on
watch for signs of dominance, negative words or
actions or control over
other students.
Many students may
not be bullies or victims
of bullying but may have
been witnesses to acts of
bullying. If your child is a
bystander there are a number of things you can do
as a parent to explain the
situation and bring better
awareness to what they
could do to help. First, you
must be aware that your
child may very likely realize the bullying he or she
has witnessed is wrong
but is fearful to say or do
anything about it in fear of
being retaliated against by
the bully or other students.
As a parent, emphasize to
your child the importance
of reporting bullying incidents to an adult. It is

helpful to identify to your


child who trusted adults
may be such as teachers, the principal or you
as their parent. Share your
concerns with your childs
school immediately and
discuss ways to keep your
child safe during the investigation of bullying incidents. If your child is a bystander to cyber-bullying
encourage him or her to
save all messages they feel
have a bullying tone.
The best thing any
parents can do whether
your child is being bullied, doing the bullying or
has been a bystander to
bullying is to open lines of
communication with your
school. If you do not see results contact Safe Schools
Manitoba. Director, Mary
Hall can be reached by
phone at 204-233-1595 or

First Shift Breaking Down Hockey Barriers


By DARRYL HOLYK

he Minnedosa District
Recreation Commission and Minor Hockey
have partnered to bring
an exciting new introductory hockey program to
the community. Known
as The First Shift, this national program is aimed
at providing an introduction to children who have
never been enrolled in a
hockey program before.
The First Shift is open to
both boys and girls between the ages of six and
ten. The programs motto
is Helping Kids Fall in
Love With Hockey.
Research has found
that even though Canada
is the birthplace of hockey,
there is still only a small
percentage of the populations youth playing the
sport. A whopping 90% of
children are not enrolled
in a hockey program.
There are four perceived
barriers believed to hold
children back from playing hockey. The first barrier is the fact that most
parents find hockey too
expensive to enroll their
children in. Many also
perceive hockey as too serious and too competitive
and would like to see their
children play in an activity where the main focus is
on having fun. Some parents feel that hockey is too
dangerous and takes up

too much of their childs


time with practices, tournaments and travelling to
and from games, sometimes interfering with
school and class time.
The First Shift program has been designed
to break down these barriers and help families
enjoy the hockey without having to sacrifice a
huge amount of time or
money. Whereas registration alone in other minor
hockey programs can cost
families hundreds of dollars not to mention the
additional costs of equipment and travel related to
out-of-town tournaments,
The First Shift Program
is being offered at a total
cost of $219.00. This fee includes $199.00 to Hockey
Canada and a $20.00 administration fee. Covered
by this cost is a full set of
head to toe Bauer hockey
equipment, six weeks of
ice time and a wind up at
the conclusion of the program. The equipment included covers everything
a young player needs on
the ice - a helmet with face
mask, shoulder and elbow
pads, base layer top with
net guard, jersey, pants,
socks, shin guards, skates,
gloves, sticks and protective undergear.
The six, one hour onice sessions will focus on
skill building and having fun. The ratio of kids

+XVN\(QHUJ\

to instructors is 4:1. We
have some great coaches
involved already but it
would be fantastic if more
people would volunteer.
They do not have to be
certified, just familiar with
the game and dedicated
to sharing the love of the
game, stated Minnedosa
Rec Director, Lisa Buchanan.
The First Shift program opens with a Welcome Event hosted as a
way for parents and potential young hockey players
to come and learn about
the program and check
out everything it has to
offer. The local Welcome
Event has been scheduled
for Wednesday, October
14th. Here, parents and
children can meet the lo-

cal program administrators and coaches, get an


overview of the program
and participate in a how
to get dressed demonstration. After the halfhour information session,
each child is individually
fitted for the equipment
he/she will need to start
the first on-ice session.
The First Shift program in
Minnedosa will be held at
the arena each Friday between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.
starting October 23rd. The
program will wrap up just
before Christmas and the
local Rec Hockey program
will fill this time slot in the
New Year and run into the
month of March. There
will be an additional fee
for anyone interested in

his year marks 35


years since Winnipeg
born Terry Fox set out on
his Marathon of Hope.
His goal was to run across
Canada raising money and
awareness for cancer. Terry had lost his right leg following a diagnosis of oestrogenic sarcoma in 1977.
His goal was to raise one
dollar for every Canadian.
During his Marathon of
Hope, Terry ran approximately 42 miles a day for

143 days before he had to


end his run on September
1st, 1980 after the cancer
had spread to his lungs.
The following February his
dream was realized when
his Marathon of Hope
fund reached $24.17 million. Terry had reached his
fundraising goal but sadly
this celebration was short
lived as Terry lost his battle
with cancer four months
later in June 1981. He was
one month shy of his 23rd
birthday.

hero he would become or
that his legacy would continue on worldwide for
decades after his death.
On September 13th, 1981,
the very first Terry Fox run
was held in honour of this
brave young man in hopes
of continuing his dream
of his own personal marathon of Hope. Over 760
individual Terry Fox runs
were held across Canada
that day with some 300,000
people taking part. The run
raised $3.5 million for cancer research.
Over the past 35
years, the Terry Fox run
has become an international yearly event raising over $650 million for
cancer research in Terrys

name. Each year, millions


of people in 25 countries
take part in the Terry Fox
Run, National School

Around
Town...

By Darryl Holyk

Getting attention...
During this summers Fair and Rodeo, the new Ag
Barn at the local Ag Society grounds left a positive impression on visitors. Numerous inquiries have been
made from people wanting to rent the facility next year
for a variety of events including weddings and socials.

Busy Weekend ahead...


Last weekends MotoCross Races at McNabb Valley
were cancelled due to unfavourable weather. The races
were rescheduled for this weekend and will take place
both Saturday and Sunday. Another two-day attraction
taking place this weekend is the annual old-time threshing demonstration at Strathclair. Both of these weekend
events are definitely worth checking out!

Just a story...
Apparently there has been a rumour circulating
that the Town is planning to destroy the soccer field at
the beach and redevelop it as additional campground
space. No one is sure just where this story began but
Town officials have confirmed this is certainly not happening, nor has the idea ever been considered. The
beach soccer field is there to stay!

God Save Our Queen...


Wednesday marked a huge milestone in history
when Queen Elizabeth officially became the longest
reigning monarch in British history. The 89-year-old has
ruled since the passing of her father, King George VI in
1952. Thats 63 years or over 20,000 days!

Where Is Our Compassion?


Dear Editor,

Letters to
the Editor

am sure there are few of


us who are unaware of
the refugee situation that
has reached a crisis point
in Europe and elsewhere.
Although the human tide
of people risking everything including their lives fleeing areas of conflict,
terror, poverty and any number of hardships we can
but imagine has been happening for months, it is
the picture of the body of tiny Alan Kurdi washed
up on a beach in Turkey that woke us from our complacency like a slap in the face making us sit up and
take notice. Now we simply cannot look away.
There is a profound moral question that begs to
be asked - what do we do now? How do we move
beyond sympathetic talk and hand-wringing? I am
at a loss for words when it comes to expressing how
discouraged, frustrated then angry I was at the response of our federal government. It was and continues to be nothing short of appalling. Our Prime
Minister immediately brought up Canadas involvement in the bombing campaign in Syria and how
this tragedy indicates how important our military
action is and how utterly misguided the leaders of
the other parties are in their opposition to it. The financial cost of Canadas involvement in that bombing campaign to date is 500 million dollars and our
contribution is only 3.25% of the military coalition.
Is this money well spent and what are we actually
achieving?
The civil war in Syria began in 2011 as a Syrian
government effort to crush a courageous peaceful
demonstration by Syrians for freedom and dignity.
Since then 11 million people have been forced from
their homes and 240,000 Syrians, mostly civilians,
have died. There are 12 million people inside Syria
in need of humanitarian assistance - 5.6 million are
children. Four of five Syrians now live in poverty
and 30% of those live in abject poverty. The education, health and social welfare systems are in a state
of collapse. The Syrian government is dropping
rusty barrel bombs filled with nails, explosives or
chlorine on its civilian population. The UN says that
more than half of Syrian refugees are under the age

of 18. When Prime Minister


Harper talks about the need
to stop ISIS and jihadists
because they are a threat to
us in Canada as well as Syrians, I dont feel compassion for ordinary Syrians in
his statement.
Military intervention in
Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya also helped create this
tsunami of misery we are witnessing. Mr. Harper
ridiculed Justin Trudeau for wanting to address root
causes but now it has become a Conservative catch
phrase. What are the root causes? The government
is not providing us with leadership in addressing the
refugee crisis we cannot turn away from. Canada
has lost its credibility and influence in the region
with our over-reliance on a military response. Our
pledge to accept 10,000 more Iraqi and Syrian refugees over four years means that only 1,250 Syrians
per year (the other half would be Iraqis) will be accepted and the government sponsorship program
would support half of those. Six hundred Syrians per
year. Thats it. For shame.

Serving 25 To Life
Living in
Paradise
By

VERN MAY

EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC

he punishment for the


most severe crimes
short of a life sentence
in Canada is levied at 25
years behind bars. That
means that a crime sentenced in 1990 would be
considered as a debt to society paid in full by 2015.
That offender is integrated
back into society to try to
assimilate and become
a productive member of
the community. However,
most sentences offer parole after seven years and
that offending party is expected to get out and get
on with their life.
What does this have
to do with community development?, you may be
asking yourself right now.
I would suggest to you that
while not in the realm of
criminal offenses, we have
people living among us in
the community that may
feel that they are serving a
life sentence right now.
If youve spent any
amount of time in a small

town, you come to know


that the collective memory of the community is a
long one. In fact, a small
town scandal or even hurt
feelings can linger for decades. The grudges live
on, long after weve forgotten what started the
quarrel in the first place.
People with good ideas
may have stepped on toes
or ran afoul of someone
in their efforts and have
since been shackled with
the label troublemaker,
discouraging them from
stepping up again. For the
sake of the community,
its time to grant parole.
Consider the most severe sentence under the
law 25 years. I would
suggest to you right now
that I am not interested
to hear opposition to any
new idea that comes to
the table that starts with
Back in the 80s we tried
that and it fell on its face.

the membership of our


organizations,
evolving
trends, new residents (and
lets face it the world)
that create a completely
new playing field. What
existed in Minnedosa 25
years ago looks a great
deal different today. Anything that occurred before
1990, longer than a life
sentence ago, is no longer
the excuse not to try but
instead the foundation to
create a blueprint to build
upon previous successes
or evade the pitfalls of the
past.
Im interested only
anecdotally in the feuds
between local boys and
Neepawa lads that look
place in the mid-1970s.
Im sure Id have a good
laugh about them over
a beverage but those
stories in no way affect
my ability to do business
with any of the players
involved, regardless of
where they may hang their
hat today. 40-year-old
grudges have little bearing on todays economic
development plan.
Looking over our
shoulder to more recent
times, lets re-examine

those ideas that have been


brought forward by people from our community
even over the past eight
to ten years. Lets discuss
why they were shot down,
what merit they did (and
still) have and if there is a
possibility to re-visit those
ideas and resurrect them.
Lets consider that maybe
it was the right idea at the
wrong time. Lets re-engage those interested and
enthusiastic members of
our town and let them
know were ready to work
together.
We cant live in the
past and expect to move
forward. Our actions will
speak louder than our

1905 A Dramatic Club has been formed and several


successful rehearsals held. The play selected is the comedy, Our Boys. This is one of the most popular plays ever
written.
1915 While sitting at his desk at the C.P.R. station,
last Thursday morning, Mr. Eames saw some freight
cars scudding along the line past his window propelled
by the wind. He ran out, got on the cars and applied the
hand brakes and managed to stop them. His prompt action probably averted an accident as the great west trains
were about due and might have run into the runaway
cars.
1965 The most nearly perfect creamery butter exhibited in Toronto at the Canadian National Exhibition was
made by Peoples Co-operative Creamery in Minnedosa.
Our entry of unsalted butter earned 98.7 points for flavour, texture, colour and general attractiveness.
1975 Library committee members will be calling on
local homes to ask for signatures in support of a library
for Minnedosa. The signatures of eight percent of the
electors are needed in order for Town Council to act on
the petition.
1985 The Scandinavia and District Centennial Committee received a $7,427 grant to expand Kerrs Lake Hall
from 1,040 sq. ft. to 1,680 sq. ft. hardwood has been acquired from the Viscount building in Neepawa to finish
the halls flooring.
1995 Tripleleaf Minnedosa Ltd. has closed its doors
and will not reopen. The alfalfa processing plant declared
bankruptcy in 1990 and re-opened as Tripleaf later that
year. Earlier this spring, the companys ten employees received layoff notices.

A Day At Summer Camp


By ALISON DAWSON

ur 2015 summer has


come to a close, and
what a summer it was! Its
hard to describe exactly
what we counsellors do
in a day, let alone a week
or a month. Often a parent drops off a child clean,
prepared, and looking forward to the day, and upon
pick up receives a dirty,
tired creature that has no
idea where their shoes are.
The creature is sun-kissed,
with grass-stained pants,
wet hair, has scraped
knees, and band aids on
their fingers. When asked
how their day was, they
respond we did nothing
then fall asleep in the car.
Little do parents know
its exactly the same for
counsellors! We arrive
ready to go, bright, cheerful and full of vigor, and
several hours later stumble
into our homes completely disarrayed only to fall
asleep on the couch until
supper and we loved it.
Now its time to tell
parents what we did. First
thing in the morning, we
sat in a circle and learned
everyones names. Then
repeated them because
some of us forgot (its
hard!) We learnt the rules
of camp, especially ones
for safety like wading vs
swimming. We go wading
at camp, this means feet
on the ground, and counsellors must see shoulders
at all times. Some more

rules are no fighting or


bullying at camp. If you
want to fight someone,
fight Alison; be prepared
to lose. Also, the listening
ears signal for hearing instructions and what we are
doing next. Then we forgot those too. We put sunscreen and bug spray on.
As every parent knows, this
takes literally forever, but
we persist. Then bathroom
breaks. Followed by finding those children who say
they dont need to go but
actually do. Next we break
into groups, and THEN the
fun begins.
Based on the week,
its different every time.
Sometimes, we choose
playing Grounders (which
is a huge favourite) or we
craft, play soccer, karaoke,
visit a business, walk a wild
trail, build something, go
wading, become besties,
climb a tree, break things,
pretend to be ninja turtles,
fling shaving cream at each
other, meet the mayor,
learn how to babysit, go
bowling, use a golf club,
perform for seniors, set up
a tent, battle superheroes
vs bad guys, cry because
we miss our mom and dad,
get hugs from everybody,
roll down grassy hills, use
matches with adults, laugh
and get milk up the nose,
run from bees, learn correct colours of pee, laugh
as counsellors say pee,
lose our water bottles, lose
our hats, find both, lose
them again.

TRIBUNE PRINTING

Then its lunch time


usually. We eat at tables,
or outside picnic style. After lunch, we dance and
play in foam, mud, sand
or water. We gather bark;
learn cloud names, draw,
paint, act, sing, jump or
read. Campers bake bread,
visit police cells, walk
across Minnedosa, kayak,
and ride in golf carts. We
fall and get up again, refill
our water bottle, run from
water guns, rub bruises
and get bit by mosquitoes. We do trust falls with
other kids, climb rocks,
find crayfish or frogs, drive
trucks, treat sick animals,
get thrown in the water,
listen to scary stories, learn
to give respect and compliments, and IF we have
time: acknowledge that
both girls and boys are
awesome in their different
ways.
By 3:45 p.m., its pick
up time. Sometimes we
need it, other times we

Dear Reena,
My new life goal is to
purchase less store bought
products and make my
own stain removers. Can
you tell me the different
kinds of stain classifications? Mel
Dear Mel,
Stain classifications
include; protein, tannin,
dye, oil or a combination of the two. Different
stains require customized
treatments and the faster
you attend to a mess, the
better the results. Protein
stains are those which
come from the body such
as: eggs, blood, yogurt, ice
cream and milk. Never use
hot water to treat a protein stain. Blot the area

with cold water and dish


soap, continue this treatment and notice if the
stain is disappearing. If it
remains, pour 3% hydrogen peroxide and salt onto
the stain until the area
is damp, leave for two to
three hours and wash or
blot with water. Repeat until the stain is gone. If you
spill a combination stain
such as; ketchup, spaghetti
sauce or any other tomato
based food, treat the area
by scooping up as much
of the sauce as possible.
Do not scrub or you may
push the stain further into
the carpet. Onto a washcloth put a few drops of
dish soap and very hot water. Blot the stain. Follow
that with dish soap on a

ingly difficult to find.


Another stain classification is tannin, I like
to think of these as, from
the ground i.e. wine, coffee, tea, fruit juice etc. If
someone happens to spill
red wine onto your carpet, immediately react by

pouring white wine over


the area. If you do not have
white wine, pour a liberal
amount of salt over the
wine. You will immediately
notice the salt turn pink.
Allow the area to dry and
brush the salt away. Next,
sprinkle the area with bo-

rax and water, leave for 30


minutes. Wipe and blot
with white vinegar. White
vinegar is important as a
last step because it prevents stained areas from
turning brown. Test all
treatments on an inconspicuous area.

Local 4-Hers Visit Nova Scotia

Photo submitted

By DARRYL HOLYK

ix local 4-H members


had a summer experience they will carry with
them for the rest of their
lives. Rayna Topham,
Emily Pearson, Linnae
Topham, Leland Bramley,
Tristan Labelle and Josh
Kingdon participated in a
4-H exchange with a group
of Nova Scotia 4-Hers and
as a result have made some
new friendships which are
expected to continue for
years to come.
In early July, the local 4-H members and
their families welcomed
their Nova Scotia 4-H
twins as the first part of
the exchange program.
While here, the Nova Sco-

tia twins experienced a


number of local and provincial attractions highlighting what life is like
here in our region. On August 5th, the six local 4-H
members, along with chaperones, Sally Labelle and
Corrine Topham boarded
a plane and headed east
to visit their Nova Scotia
twins as the second half
of the exchange program.
For Josh Kingdon, this trip

introduced him to his first


flight.
For ten days, the local
4-Hers experienced a wide
array of sights and attractions as well as the basic
way of life of their Nova
Scotia friends. The group
agreed that the most memorable highlight of the trip
was visiting the ocean.
We went to four different
beaches, mentioned Emily Pearson. The water was
cold but we swam in it anyway. We werent going to
pass up that opportunity.
Some of the Manitoba
4-H members experienced
a bit of motion sickness
from the many curves
and changes in elevation
on the Nova Scotia roads.
They soon realized this
wasnt the flat Manitoba
prairie they are used to.
They were also amazed at
how many trees there were
everywhere they travelled
in Nova Scotia and now
understand why, when
the 4-H exchange students
were here in Manitoba
they kept asking where we
keep our trees.
Nova Scotia is steeped
in history and the local 4-H
visitors experienced a great
deal of this history during
their visit. They visited Citadel Hill at Halifax. Dating
back to 1749, this National
Historic Site is currently
operated by Parks Canada
and is reportedly haunted.
During their visit this summer, the 4-H group took
part in a ghost tour at Citadel Hill.
Another history lesson took place when the
group visited Province
House in Halifax. Built in

1811 and similar to our


own Manitoba Legislative
building, this site is where
Joseph Howe, journalist
and later Premier of Nova
Scotia made history with
improvements to freedom
of speech in the media in
1835.
Of course, no trip
to Nova Scotia would be
complete without a visit to
Lunenburg and UNESCO
World Heritage Site. Other
historic highlights experienced by the 4-H groups
included visits to Peggys
Cove, various lighthouses,
the Iroquois warship and
the Atlantic Fisheries Museum where they went
out on fishing boats and
learned about the many
different types of fishing.
Seafood is a huge
part of daily life on the
east coast and the Manitoba visitors got to try their
hand at scallop fishing
during a visit to the Clearwater Fishing Company.
They also participated in
a special seafood night
where they sampled various types of fresh seafood.
While in Halifax, they
boarded a harbour hopper
which is an amphibious
vehicle capable to transporting sightseers on both
land and water. Their visit
to Halifax also meant seeing the life-size Theodore
Tugboat, a character from
the popular childrens television series.
As was the case when
the Nova Scotia 4-Hers
visited Manitoba, the local group was billeted
with their twin families
during their ten-day visit.
One of the days was tagged

Family Day allowing each


host family to include their
Manitoba guest in a special
activity their own family
enjoys. Some of the Family
Day activities experienced
by our local 4-Hers included a visit to Kejimkujik National Park. Museum
tours in Halifax, walking
the waterfront and attending South Shore in Motion,
a truck derby. Chaperones
Sally and Corrine attended
a 4-H Achievement while
on the exchange and absorbed some new ideas
which they may be able to
incorporate into our local
4-H clubs.
The 4-H Exchange experience made a lasting
impact on the club members involved. When the
Nova Scotia group arrived
in Winnipeg for that first
initial meeting in July, one

of the local 4-H members


commented how awkward
it was welcoming these
strangers to Manitoba.
That attitude certainly
shifted after spending
time together and when
the Manitoba group was
ready to board their plane
in Halifax and end the
summers exchange, the
awkwardness was replaced
with hugs and tears. Solid,
new friendships have been
made through the program
and in todays age of social
media, the 4-Hers from
Manitoba and Nova Scotia can keep in touch on a
daily basis if they wish.
The six local 4-H exchange program participants will be compiling
their summer experience
in a presentation to share
with their fellow club
members this fall.

Congratulations to
Danika Proven and Hyunick (Nick) Hwang
who were married May 30th, 2015 in South Korea.

ON THE FARM
By ELMER KASKIW

easonal temperatures
along with spotty but
locally heavy thundershowers last weekend
slowed harvest progress
over this past week. Rainfall amounts in these thunderstorms saw amounts in
excess of 100 mm being
reported while most other
regions recorded amounts
ranging from 15-30 mm.
The spring cereal harvest ranges from 20-75%
complete with the slowest
progress being noted in
more northern regions.
Early spring wheat
and barley yields continue
to be reported at above
long term averages however in many instances
are not meeting yield expectations. Quality loss is
now being noted across all
spring cereals with some
significant issues with
staining and sprouting being noted in swathed barley crops.
The field pea harvest
is now complete with
most yields coming in
above long term average.

Canola crops have


matured with non reseeded canola fields now seeing some initial harvesting
while most reseeded fields
are now in the process
of being swathed. Early
canola yields are being
reported at or above long
term averages.
Flax fields continue to
dry down stage with little
evidence of any significant
disease issues.
Soybean
maturity
continues to advance with
most crops now in the R6.5
(seed fill to capacity) to R7
(pod and leaf yellowing)
stage of development with
most early varieties now
beyond any significant
yield losses from frost.
Plan Now For
Fall Weed Control
Program
A fall weed control
program is not only important in battling specific weed problems but
is also important in our
battle against the increasing number of herbicide
resistant weeds.

Fall spraying attacks


weeds when they are most
susceptible and it also allows us to use different
herbicide groups or combinations of groups. Fields
which have a pre-harvest
or fall spray program implemented are always virtually trouble free when
it comes to planting next
spring.
The frost free condition so far this fall still
gives us an excellent
window in controlling
this population of winter annual and perennial
weeds. Most fall spraying can begin somewhere
around mid September as
by this time germination
of most winter annuals
has occurred and perennial weeds have recovered
from the cutting or swathing operation.
In terms of products
most fall applications will
have a base glyphosate
component at various
rates depending upon the
level of grassy weed and
perennial weed growth.
Higher glyphosate rates
are typically necessary

for the more troublesome perennial and biennial weeds such as quack
grass, Canada thistle, sow
thistle and foxtail barley.
In other instances there is
a need to boost glyphosate
activity for more difficult
to control weeds such as
narrow leaf hawks beard
and dandelion.
In the spring, growers are limited to Group
2 products to provide this
boost in activity due to
residual concerns with
phenoxys and dicambas.
Fall applications can
open the door to the use of
both phenoxy and dicamba products alone or in
combination with Group
2s depending on crop rotation which can help in
our management of herbicide resistant weeds.
Fall spraying has also
become critical if you
have grown winter wheat
over the last 3-5 years
in your rotation. Winter
wheat is notorious in volunteering in the fall and is
the main vector in spreading wheat streak mosaic
virus into spring wheat

crops. The control of winter wheat in the fall needs


to be thorough as even a
few volunteers can be responsible for spreading
the virus. This persistence
of winter wheat means
that one must also target
fields that may have had
winter wheat grown on
them anytime within the
last 3-5 years.
Fall Weed Control
In Yardsites
Now is also the time
to implement a weed control program in your lawns
and yard sites to control
weeds such as dandelion,
burdock, broad leaf plantain, creeping charlie, and
henbit.
Most 24-D or MCPA
containing products will
control these weeds quite
easily and at a fraction of
the rate required to control them in the spring.

Reminder Notice Of Public Hearing


Applicant: Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation
HEARING:
Hearing: The Public Utilities Board (Board) anticipates holding a public hearing
of an application from Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation (MPI) for
approval of rates and premiums for compulsory vehicle and driver insurance
as of March 1, 2016. The hearing would take place at the Boards Hearing
Room, 4th Floor, 330 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB (commencing at
9:00 a.m.) on October 5, 2015.

Persons seeking further information as to MPIs application, or with respect to the


Boards process, and/or wishing to address the public hearing in French should
notify the Board Secretary by September 25, 2015.
As well, interested parties may examine MPIs application and supporting materials,
either at the ofces of the Corporation or on its website, or the Boards ofce.
The Manitoba Ombudsman has recently issued privacy guidelines for administrative
tribunals. The Board is mindful of its obligations under those guidelines. Its
decisions in respect of the application being considered will be sensitive to the
guidelines. Personal information will not be disclosed unless it is appropriate and
necessary to do so. However, the Board advises participants that these proceedings

RATE IMPACT:
The Corporation is requesting approval for Basic Autopac vehicle and drivers
licence insurance rates and premiums effective March 1, 2016, which, if
approved, will result in no overall change in MPIs Basic premium revenue
(excluding the impact of vehicle upgrades and an increased overall driver and
vehicle population).

Actual vehicle and driver premiums would vary depending on claim and driving
experience, insurance use, territory and vehicle rate group. Full particulars,
including the rate impact and application, can be found on the Manitoba Public
Insurance website www.mpi.mb.ca.

An examination of the
ice plant at the Carberry
Plains Community centre
has revealed a number of
deficiencies. The undersized unit would require
a $200,000 to $300,000 investment to fix it. The repairs cannot be completed
this year but the Centre
will have ice this season, as
it will continue to be produced in the same inefficient manner as it has over
the past four years.
Dauphin Herald City
Council has approved a
new residential area on
Whitmore Avenue West.
The developers plan includes forty new multifamily units. The project will consist of both
four-plexes and duplexes
geared toward citizens
aged 55 and over. When
the project is complete,
there will still be 14 acres
of available grass for the
possibility of a safe playground for adults and kids.
Killarney Guide the last
chance for Oak Point residents to tap into town water and sewer is at hand.
The $3 million project was
recently granted $1.1 million in government funding, although the Town
was hopeful to see a threeway split of $1 million
between the Feds, Province and Town. Now, the
project is $900,000 short
which means the connection prices will go up and
the rest of the cost will be
carried by the ratepayers.
If the project goes ahead,
82 residents will be eligible
to hook up.

The Tiny Turtle Playroom held an open house
so that daycare families
could see the new $50,000

currently being run at
Boissevain School.

Dog vs Fish

OBITUARY
SHARON LOUISE MADILL
Sharon Louise Madill of Minnedosa, Manitoba passed away at the
Minnedosa Health Centre at the
age of 61 years.
Sharon was born in Neepawa and grew up at Elk Ranch.
She was the middle child of
nine children to John and Irene
Pasowisty. She met her husband
Orville at a dance in Polonia
and they were wed October 6th,
1973. Together they had three children; Crystal, Trent and Brent. She
enjoyed spending time with her family
no matter if it was at the campground, hockey rink or ball
diamond. When not watching the kids she worked for Penners Bakery, Madill Meats, and then finally the Neepawa and
Minnedosa Heritage Co-ops.
As her kids got older her two favourite teams turned into
the Montreal Canadians and the Toronto Blue Jays. This past
year she went down to Minneapolis to watch the Jays in action.
She loved to spend time with her grandchildren. She always
had a special treat or new game to play. But if you were coming
for the treats the grandkids knew that the first thing Grandma
needed when you arrived was her hug.
Besides the love she had for her kids she also loved to watch
Days of Our Lives, play cards, dance, and spend time with
family. For every birthday or holiday Sharon would have something ready to celebrate. She loved the simple life.
Sharon was predeceased by her father John Pasowisty and
her in-laws Leslie and Hilda Madill. Surviving is her husband
Orville, children: Crystal (Dave), Trent (Erin), Brent (Kim),
brother-in-law Arnold (Brenda), grandchildren: Shawna,
Nathan, Justin, Riley, Morgan and Kaylea, mother Irene, siblings: Janet (Graham), Bev (Ron), Ike (Michelle), Iris (Richard),
Shirley (Jim), Leona (Scott), Lori (Brent), Mike (Shelley), and
many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
The funeral service was held on September 5th, 2015 at the
Bethany Community Hall. Reverend Don Thompson officiated. Interment followed in the Boyd Cemetery with Lloyd
Hutton, Cody Pasowisty, Morley Hutton, Rob Filipchuk, Mike
Krutkewich, and Lyle Kingdon as pallbearers.
If friends so desire donations may be made to The Boyd
Cemetery, Manitoba Lung Association or a charity of choice.
Minnedosa Funeral Services was in care of arrangements.

REACH OUT
TO YOUR
CUSTOMERS
WITH AN AD IN
YOUR LOCAL
COMMUNITY

By KEN KINGDON

ypsy the dog caught


his first fish in early
July. He was very proud.
However, like all seven
year olds, he was a bit hot
and cold on actually dealing with the fish thing.
Even reeling it in himself
was a no go.
This, of course, is not an
uncommon
response.
Most youngsters, when
they get their first fish on
the line, react by handing
over the rod to the nearest
adult in terror.
Gypsy claims that he
couldnt reel it in because
he doesnt have opposable thumbs (or fingers for
that matter). Personally,
I think it was because he
was scared. I mean, some
of those Jacks were huge,
all two pounds of teeth and
slime!
His less than enthusiastic response might also
have arisen from having
a live fish flopping about
in the canoe. Because
that was the other first for
Gypsy. He had never been
in a boat before.
Gypsy is, shall we say,
a nervous watcher when
it comes to watercraft.
Im sure youve seen dogs
like this before. These are
the dogs that cant stand
being in a boat, but they
cant stand watching their
owners paddle out of sight
either. So they end up
spending their time barking and running along the
shore, trying to keep up.
Which meant, the
other night, that he either
had to canoe or swim if
he was going to do any
fishing. After some gentle
convincing, he recognised
his predicament, and he
got into the canoe.
He wasnt exactly
thrilled, and his tail was
stuck firmly between
his legs, his ears were all

floppy, and he basically


looking dejected and,
of course, he stood right in
my way.
I decided to let him
stay where he was as I was
afraid to get him any more
nervous and have him
dump the boat. So, we
made do with me paddling
awkwardly with a wet dog
nearly in my lap.
One strong suit of
Gypsy, though, is that he
is adaptable, and it wasnt
very long before he was
relatively at ease, sitting down and watching
the world go by. Until, of
course, we started to catch
some fish.
Im not sure, but I
dont think he had actually
seen a live fish, and having
one splashing at the end of
a fishing line was a whole
different experience to
seeing them in an aquarium or in the frozen food
section of the Co-op.
In addition, like other
members of my family, although Gypsy appeared to
be real keen on the idea of
keeping and eating whatever fish we caught, when
it came time to give the fish
the old coup de grace, I
dont think he was so keen.
The first fish we caught
was pretty small and easy
to release, so after some
splashing, and some curious sniffing, Gypsy was
happy to see the last of it as
it swam away.
The second fish was
quite a bit larger and put
up more of a fight. In fact,
it reacted more like a salmon or a bass, leaping out
of the water and putting on
a good show.
As it drew alongside
the canoe, it did a whole
lot of splashing, and you
could see that the dog was
less than impressed.
Unfortunately for the
fish, the lure was stuck in
its gills, and we had to keep

it. Again, dispatching a


fish in a canoe with a nervous dog sounds simple in
theory, but until you try it,
you just never know what
the outcome might be.
In the end, though, the
fish was the only casualty,
although I ended up fairly
much slimed with a few
more fish tooth scars on
my fingers and the dog was
sitting at the far end of the
canoe. Wisely, I decided
that perhaps we had done
enough fishing for the
day, and began the paddle
home.
Which is when I started thinking about the legal
age for fishing. I wondered
if the wardens stopped
me, were we safe to assume that being a seven
year old, Gypsy could fish
under my permit? But
then I started thinking
about him in terms of a
dogs age. I mean, according to standard wisdom,
he was at least 49 years of
age, making him about the
same age as me. Should
I have bought him his
own license? Which then
sparked another memory
of another first fish (mine,
and an equally gray area of
the law.
I was about eight years
old, and we were fishing in
Wasamin or Clear Creek,
about a hundred meters
downstream of Clear Lake.
Our family was visiting
Camp Wannakumbac, and
we kids decided to try out
our new rods.
After a few casts into
the creek, I latched onto a
big one, or rather it latched
onto me.
After what
seemed an epic battle of
boy against fish, I was able
to land a one and a half
pounder.
I dont remember what
happened next, with the
exception of carrying this
fish the 300 meters to the
dining hall which seemed

a very long way, and that


the fish was more or less
dragging by the end.
I proudly showed my
parents and the camp
manager my catch. The
bloom came off the rose
quickly, though, when the
manager piped up I assume that you have a licence
The sound of crickets
filled the ensuing silence.
To make things worse,
my parents werent ones
to rescue their kids from
awkward situations of their
own makings.
If I had of been a little
quicker, I could have provided an answer that might
have created some legal
grayness to the situation.
Here was a case where the
fisher (me) was standing
on Provincial land, and the
fishee (Mr. Jack Fish) was
inhabiting Federal waters.
Clearly the question of
which license I should have
had (Provincial vs National
Park) would have created a
legal loophole, wouldnt it?
Never mind that the whole
thing is made moot by
the fact that I didnt have
either license
After a long pause,
in which I probably just
looked at my shoes, Mr.
Douglas said Well, its too
late now to take it back.
So we ate it. Best fish ever,
made even sweeter by its
illegality. Or my embarrassment.
Two things came out
of that experience. The
first is that I always buy a
licence whenever I go fishing.
The second was that
for many years, I was a red
devil man. If I couldnt
fish with a red devil spoon,
I wasnt fishing. Which
could explain the 20 year
span of fruitlessness in
catching another fish,
which is an entirely other
story.

A Quick Breakfast On The Run For Your Busy Life


ter in it for moisture and
tenderness, but remember this makes sixteen
bars: thats only just over
two teaspoons of butter
per bar.
I hope this recipe will
take a bite out of your busy
mornings.

Cooking
With
CHEF DEZ

ith the start of another school season,


almost everyones lives
become a bit more hectic
- the increased traffic on
the road is a perfect example of this. Store bought,
premade breakfast bars
are not always the healthiest solution to breakfasts
on the run, so I want to
share this recipe made

with whole wheat flour,


oatmeal, and ground flax.
Make them ahead of
time and freeze each of
the sixteen bars individually. For those hurried
mornings, microwave one
frozen bar on high for 30
seconds, and you are out
the door with warm oatmeal in your hand. Yes,
the recipe does have but-

Oatmeal Breakfast
Bars
The benefit of oatmeal in a convenient bar.
Great for Breakfast on the
run - Microwave each bar
from frozen for 30 seconds
on high power.
2 and 1/4 cups whole

wheat flour
2 and 1/4 cups quick oats
3/4 cup raisins
3 tbsp ground flax seed
1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 and 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, room temperature
