On Th ursday, May 16th, local emergency responders will be hosting a mock accident scenario on Armit-

age Avenue in front of Minnedosa Collegiate Institute. Th e real-life learning scenario is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Residents can expect to hear emergency sirens and see ambulances, police cars and fi re trucks racing toward the school with lights and sirens blaring. Do not be alarmed, this is not a real emergency, but a staged ac-cident held as part of the Preventing Alcohol and Risk Re-lated Trauma in Youth Program (PARTY). Th e scenarios play out like a real-life accident scene. Student actors play the roles of students who have been involved in a very serious and fatal emergency situation. Once on scene, emergency responders jump into action and demonstrate what takes place at the scene of an ac-cident. Minnedosa Funeral Service will also be involved with the mock accident as a sobering reminder that life can be cut short in the blink of an eye. Remember, an emergency situation will be staged in front of the high school next Th ursday afternoon. It will look and sound very real and frightening, but it is not a real emergency, only a realistic demonstration. Full cov-erage of the scenario in next week’s Tribune.

The Town of Minnedo-sa recently posted

public notices on the June 1st, 2013 establishment of a minimum per use fee of $31.78 for up to 4.54 kilo-liters plus $7.00 per kilo-litre for any portions over the initial fee for the use of the Minnedosa Treat-ment Lagoon. Th e tipping fee is consistent with a re-cent Public Utilities Board (PUB) decision, and would be paid through a septic hauling service to the town. Th e Town originally applied to the PUB for la-goon tipping fees in Janu-ary of 2012. Responding to subsequent requests from the PUB, the Town restricted access to the la-goon, issuing keys to sep-tic haulers, and changing the originally proposed tipping fees, which includ-ed a higher rate for non residents who do not pay into the utility fund. Th e diff erential of seven cents

per kilolitre was found to be nominal enough to eliminate any fee diff eren-tial between residents and non residents. Th e fees were calcu-lated for a total estimated volume of 3,240 kiloliters of waste deposited in the lagoon per year, and in-clude 6.1% of the annual amortization of the la-goon. Bryan Gaiser of Lake-side Septic Service is criti-cal of the fees, arguing that they are higher than other municipalities. He objects to septic haulers collect-ing fees, arguing that this diverts responsibility for answering for the fees from the municipality to the haulers. Gaiser prefers Neepawa’s current model where septic users pay their tipping fee directly to the municipality and the hauling fee to the hauler. Denis Saquet, Engi-neering Supervisor for the Town of Neepawa re-ports that their program involves an annual fee for

residents of $51.75 and a per use fee of $10.35. On a tank that pumps out every three weeks, this would in-volve total annual tipping charges of about $230. Non residents of Neepawa who use the municipal la-goon are charged an an-nual fee of $129.38 and a per load fee of $25.88 resulting in about $580 in annual tipping charges. Saquet says that Neepawa is applying to the PUB for review this year and that rates are likely to increase due to the costs of main-taining the lagoon, and the possible need for ex-pansion. Concerned resi-dents fear that the new Minnedosa tipping fees will amount to an esti-mated $555 annual cost. Gaiser speculates that the new fees could result in more incidents of illegal dumping of sewage. He said as much to the PUB during deliberations, not-ing that the change would create a hardship for fi xed

or low income customers and recommending a fl at rate for homeowners who have their waste hauled to the lagoon. Town of Minnedosa CAO Ken Jenkins said

that PUB orders cannot be changed by council. “Th e PUB has been en-couraging municipalities to implement fee systems that refl ect the full use of lagoons for some time,”

and that this move on the town’s part is about com-pliance. “Basically, this came about as a matter of fairness and cost account-ability according to use.”

Anyone paying attention may have noticed some pret-ty strange budget numbers in the Town of Minnedo-

sa fi nancial plan story last week. I read the documents wrong, and reported on the wrong columns. Th e article actually included fi gures from the 2014 projected budget rather than this year’s budget. (Town reps were unavail-able for questions. Still, my mistake is ridiculous.) Budget documents are available at the Town Offi ce for review. My apologies for the confusion.

A new reporter…. Staff changes have again occurred here at Ye Old Trib. Last Friday, we bid a fond farewell to our re-porter, Kate Sjoberg who has relocated back to Win-nipeg for a new career opportunity. Th is Tuesday, we welcomed Sarah Dalrymple as our newest reporter/photographer. Sarah is no stranger to the communi-ty. She is the daughter of Alan and Barb Dalrymple, sister to Katrina and a 2010 graduate of MCI. She is third year University of Manitoba student pursuing a career in Anthropology. We welcome Sarah and look forward to having her on staff throughout the sum-mer months.

No plans… We have had a number of inquiries from former Minnedosans asking when this year’s Homecoming celebration will be held. Unfortunately, at this point, there are no plans for any Homecoming this year, our Town’s 130th anniversary. Some time ago there was a call out to anyone interested in a school reunion this summer, but the people involved did not receive one response. Maybe in fi ve years, for our 135th there will be another Homecoming and School reunion get to-gether. However, this summer will see the return of our annual Fun Fest weekend with a number of at-tractions currently in the planning stages.

4-H collects food… During the recent 4-H Achievement Night here in Minnedosa, a collection was taken for the Minnedo-sa and Area Food Bank. Th e evening resulted in 40 pounds of non-perishable food items as well as $102 in cash which the 4-H members have handed over to the Food Bank.

A couple of weeks ago, I reported on the success that Heritage Co-op is experiencing in town.

Th ese days, big box stores are eating up city suburbs, so the success of a locally controlled, member owned organization is remarkable in and of itself. Th e local reinvestments co-op is able and committed to mak-ing, the comparatively stable jobs it provides are vic-tories against the alternative for both employees and the communities they serve at large. Walmart and other big boxes achieve low prices through the sheer scale of their purchasing power, underpricing select-ed items to get people through the door; and operat-ing with generally icky human resources policies. All the while their profi ts go elsewhere. Still, I’ve heard people express frustration that co-ops seem to have, at times, been competing against locally owned smaller businesses too often

to ignore it. Th e concern usually seems linked to the perennial question of survival of the local economy. Lorne Zacharias, Heritage Co-op’s General Manager bristled a bit when I asked him how much Co-op con-siders negative impacts on existing town businesses when they make decisions. He argued that co-ops benefi t from a diverse and healthy local economy, and considers the impact of its choices before imple-mentation. But over time, it has come to off er a lot of what other retailers do in one form or another; and not necessarily in a more ethical or value added way than the Walmarts of the world. So, where’s the balance here? What is Co-op’s role? Seems like there is room for a lot of creativity on all sides here. In the end, member owners get to de-cide how co-ops move forward and continue to help shape the local economy. What a powerful responsi-bility.

What is a co-op’s role?

Dear Editor,

MP Sopuck recently complained that the

provincial NDP are break-ing promises as regards to not raising taxes. MP Sopuck, sitting in Parliament in the midst of the mostly muzzled pack of PM Harper’s Conserva-tives, had better consider the expanding costs of the attempts of his party in the building of the new off shore northern patrol ships. Mr. Sopuck’s party has spent heavily on the design study for these ships at a cost, so far, of $285 million. No keel for any ship has yet been laid. Yet Denmark has built two of these type of ships for that amount. And Norway, ships for a fraction that de-sign cost alone! In line with

the Conservatives F-35 war jet cost fi asco, is Can-ada about to design and build very expensive un-proven ships? So far $285 million spent and noth-ing but paper designs to show. Smells a lot like our pumped up Defense Min-ister sitting in a mock up of the F-35 lemon jet that the PM has put a hold order on. What did it cost us to ‘hold’ this questionable jet order? No word from the Conservatives, just like no word on the ultimate costs to Canadian taxpayers for the Afghanistan war bill? Why does Mr. Sopuck post an article attacking a new MB tax, when his own national party seems to be grossly misspending on northern patrol ships? And the costs to back out of the F-35 jet contract? Sopuck

cites higher taxes coming for haircuts in Manitoba. Ha. Scalping Canadian taxpayers’ by Sopuck and his Conservative easy spenders at the trough, is at the heart of the issue of breaking promises of sound government for the

people. Th e Prime Minis-ter’s claims towards his so called ‘transparency’ can be seen as another prom-ise broken.

TribHi everyone,

By the time you read this, I’ll be cutting my teeth as Director of Strategic Development for the Social En-

treprise Centre in Winnipeg. Being a reporter is SO FUN! Every story makes you a micro expert in a little corner of the community, but I still think it’s a little like ants walking on diff erent parts of an elephant. (Or a bison? A red angus?) No ant really gets the whole picture. Anyhow, thanks for being so welcoming, and thanks to my offi ce mates, Camille and Heather, for being so pa-tient with an excitable nerd on the premises, not to men-tion Esther and Jack Holyk for drop-in chats, jokes and cookies. I also want to do a shout out to Troy Johnson and Madison Kushner from Tanner’s Crossing School for writing some great articles this winter. I hope we see

more from them and their classmates in the future. Th anks also to my supportive boss, Darryl. Probably everybody knows this, but it’s still worth saying - mak-ing any newspaper happen is a big deal, and he’s doing it; working with the community, other papers, and being involved with the Manitoba Community Newspapers As-sociation. He’s also on the Chamber of Commerce, and the Museum Committee. Some of this is fun, a lot of it is hard. I think he’s rad. And he better print this! Anyway, I know I was only here for a short time, but you can thank my Grandpa Sjoberg that I was here at all. He’s over at the Personal Care Home and will relish the chance to skunk you in a cribbage match if you go say “Hi.” Bring your game face!

It originated near the immigrant building, communicated itself to the cattle yard and to Wake’s warehouse, before an em-ber set ablaze the Ogilvie elevator which contained 18,000 bushels of grain. Th e total loss is reported around $18,000.

1893 – Th e lady bicyclists of the town have decid-ed on an evening run and have invited the gentle-men enthusiasts to accompany them.

The Manitoba Neuro-fi bromatosis Support

Group is about to undergo a major transformation as President Tracy Grego-rash steps away from her day job in order to focus on further developing the organization for the com-ing year. Th e Rapid City Kin-dergarten teacher and Minnedosa resident initi-ated the group seven years ago to connect with other families dealing with Neu-rofi bromatosis (NF). Tra-cy’s son, 13-year-old Seth, was diagnosed when he was three months old. “We need a cure,” she explains, laying out the work ahead. “And, we’ve made so many families happy, (when they fi nd out that there is a group work-ing in Manitoba).” Grego-rash expresses concern at the lack of familiarity with the illness in Manitoba.

Most people have never heard of the disorder, de-spite it being more preva-lent than Cystic Fibrosis, hereditary Muscular Dys-trophy, Huntington’s Dis-ease and Tay Sachs com-bined, and the fact that the tumours it produces can turn cancerous. Treatment involves time consuming and sometimes traumatic management of symp-toms- surgeries, repeated tumour removals, and be-haviour management of-ten through medications. She knows of one fam-ily that travels to the Mayo Clinic for treatment. Th e group’s work to date has focussed on net-working, research and public education, fund-raising, and advocacy. Gregorash’s two big goals for the coming year include securing enough funding for a paid staff person, and organizing a public forum in Manitoba on neurofi -bromatosis for 2014. Just

back from a Nashville con-ference that brought to-gether leading experts on neurofi bromatosis from around the world, she’s convinced that Manitoba needs the same initiative. “I saw doctors and naturo-paths agreeing on some of the same therapies! How often do you see that?” She came home and delivered the prescription. “I said, Seth, you are going on vita-min D and that was that!” Seth has been doing okay. He has pain some-times in his chest and arm, connected to a growth un-

der his ribcage. He recent-ly had surgery on his leg, which had been curved since birth. As a 13-year-old, having a disease that you know will progress over time can be scary, something that Tracy wor-ries about. But she’s excit-ed about the opportunities that connecting with other NF families has off ered for him. Like last year when he went to camp for kids with NF in the states with another friend from Mani-toba. N e u r o f i b r o m a t o -sis is a genetic disorder that causes tumours to grow on nerves within the body, resulting in a variety of physical, mental and

Seth got it through a spontaneous genetic mu-tation, but if you already have it, you have a 50% chance of passing it on to your child. A casual observer might say that by taking a year off from her ‘real’ job, she’s actually creat-ing a job out of a passion she has been building over Seth’s entire life. “We’ve got plenty of kindergar-ten teachers,” she quips. “But we don’t have near enough people doing this work.” She can’t speculate what happens in a year or so, other than to say that

Carla Skoglund is hold-ing her annual garage

sale again this year, with proceeds gifted to the Westman Autism Parent Support Group annual family camp. Th e sale will run Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of May long week-end. (See listing in Town-wide Garage Sales ad). It features contributions from friends and family. Skoglund’s son was one of the fi rst diagnosis for autism in Manitoba. When she found out there was an active parent sup-port group, it took her a while to sign up. “Autism expresses itself so diff er-

ently in diff erent people.” She wasn’t sure at fi rst that the group would have much to talk about. Finally, she joined, and her experience was exactly the opposite. “It’s so important for emotion-al support and informa-tion sharing.” Th e group also organizes public learning events, like the time they invited Temple Grandin, an internation-ally renowned expert on animal safety and slaugh-terhouse guidelines who also has autism to Bran-don to speak, or their more frequent workshops. Last year was the fi rst year they were able to cover all camp costs for families.

Skoglund says it is so im-portant for families to be able to participate. “We always come out stron-ger.” It features plenty of outdoor activities for kids, support workers so that siblings of children with autism are able to have one on one time with their parents, and also so that there can be adult only time as well. And all of this is possible without the need to explain to others what is happening when a child is exhibiting symp-toms of their autism. “We don’t have to worry about the judgement that some-times happens in public places.”

A fl ap has arisen with the Veterinary Ser-

vices Board. Th e board is comprised of the R.M.’s of Minto, Odanah, Saskatch-ewan, Harrison, Clanwil-liam, Park, Blanshard, and the Towns of Rapid City, Erickson, and Minnedosa. Terms of agreement for the board indicate that each municipality contributes funds annually to the board in accordance with the Manitoba Plan adopted, the most recent livestock census, and size and equal-ized assessment or compa-rable mill rate of the par-ties. Th is year, the R.M. of Park is withholding their share. Board member and Minnedosa Town Council-lor Rick Saler can’t under-

stand it. While the $894.16 owing might seem to some like not a big deal, in his opinion “it shouldn’t be a big deal to pay it, either.” Th e board supports the Minnedosa Veterinary Clinic which serves the re-gion represented by par-

ticipating members. Th e board oversee the property where the clinic is located, and supports capital pur-chases. In a year which saw an increase in some vet fees through the provincial budget, Saler isn’t interest-ed in creating any more of

a squeeze for either clinic users, or the clinic itself. “People think that vet clinics are government funded, so they have a lot of money,” says Saler. But he says that every piece of revenue matters to keep-ing the place going- the

fees for service, provincial government grants, and contributions from the municipalities. And, he says, just because the R.M. doesn’t pay doesn’t mean that residents stop using the Minnedosa Clinic. He hopes that bring-

ing attention to the issue will encourage the R.M. to come around. Other steps forward have not yet been discussed. Craig Atkinson, Reeve of the R.M. of Park, was un-available for comment.

The Manitoba Cham-bers of Commerce

unanimously passed a resolution at its 82nd An-nual General Meeting, calling on the provincial government to respect the current Balanced Budget Legislation and ensure a referendum occurs before

increasing the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to eight per cent. “Chambers across the province are clearly con-cerned with not only the government’s decision to increase the PST but also the manner in which they are trying to accomplish it”, said Chuck Davidson, Manitoba Chambers of

Commerce President and CEO. “Chambers are also concerned there is no clear way to address the munici-pal infrastructure defi cit and makes Manitoba’s un-competitive tax framework even more unattractive.” Th e Manitoba Cham-bers of Commerce also elected Jamie Alyze Jur-czak, partner with Taylor

At the 67th Annual Conference of the

Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway (TCYHA), held April 19th in Russell, MB, Minnedosa Mayor Ray Orr was presented with the Builder Award. Th e award recognizes service to the Association who have made special contributions in the pro-

motion of the Trans Cana-da Yellowhead Highway. Ray has been active with the Association since 2010 and since that time has continued to support the Association. He serves on the Board of Directors and currently sits as the Manitoba Vice President. “Th e Town of Minnedosa was a par-ticipant in the inaugural meeting held April 15th, 1947 which saw the for-mation of the TCYHA. Ray continues to be an integral part of the future direction of the Association” adds outgoing TCYHA Presi-dent Merv Starzyk (Deputy Mayor Shoal Lake MB; Starzyk was a recipient of the Builder Award in 2012). Th e Trans Canada Yel-lowhead Highway Associa-tion was formed by munic-ipalities along what is now known as Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway #16

(and Yellowhead Highway #5 in BC) to bring together a collective eff ort for the highway to be built. Th e 100+ municipali-ties and nearly 100 corpo-rate supporters continue to work collaboratively to ad-dress highway infrastruc-ture issues, highway safety, economic development, and increasing tourism for the benefi t of all in the Yellowhead Corridor. Th e TCYHA is very active in promoting the highway as a primary means of trans-

portation for commercial and tourist travellers. Th at includes a hard copy travel guide (over 85,000 distrib-uted thru Visitor Informa-tion Centers) and a web-site geared to travellers to help them develop their trip planning itinerary. Th is historical route is the most stress free, safe and economical way to travel across Western Canada; lower grade el-evations, almost no road closure due to weather, and the Yellowhead High-

way corridor off ers a mul-titude of experiences, from breath-taking geographic vistas, historic sites mark-ing the development of the west to unique modern-day amenities and attrac-tions.

Our apologies to Barb Pedersen and Linda

Baker who were the third couple from town that at-tended the Regional Crib-bage tournament held in Minnedosa on April 23rd. We’re sure Eva Merry and Hilda Davies would have had a great time “if” they had been there! Eva Merry and Hil-da Davies, representing the Newdale Health Aid, worked at the Florence Nightingale Luncheon held on May 3rd at the Le-gion Clubroom. Several

from town attended and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Th e Health Auxiliary sold tickets on three door priz-es, two beautiful quilts and a coff ee basket from Chipperfi elds, that Shir-ley M. Pedersen was lucky enough to win. Th is is a major fundraising event for the Auxiliary to provide equipment for the hospital and care home. Newdale Craft Club held their “Show and Tell” evening at Harrison House lounge on April 29th, showing off the beautiful items they had all made over the winter months.

Th ey are already planning what new crafts might be included for next season. Th e members served a lovely lunch of fl avoured teas, coff ee and cookies. Th e door prizes were won by 1. Dot Wareham- step-ping stone 2. Shirley A. Pedersen- cookie jar. Con-gratulations on a success-ful season! Th e 4-H Achievement was held on Sunday after-noon, May 5th in the Com-munity Hall with a large crowd in attendance. 4-H in Manitoba is celebrating their 100th Anniversary with many celebrations

taking place across the province and there was a wonderful display of proj-ects from previous mem-bers. Th e 18 members displayed their projects and were happy to an-swer any questions asked. Judges were Gwen Argue and Leanne Tibbatts, who is Carolynne (Lee) Nich-ols daughter. Awards, certifi cates and gifts were presented, with congratu-lations to Pat Baker on re-ceiving her 30 year award. Graduating student, Lisa Rystephanuk received her nine year award and was presented a gift from the Club. Lisa was also chosen to receive the Newdale Ra-ven’s Glen WI scholarship recognizing 4-H’s 1913 - 2013 Centennial Anni-versary. Congratulations to all the members, lead-ers and parents, this club can be very proud of their accomplishments! Deli-cious birthday cake and beverages were served by the members and the win-ners from the 4-H Raffl e were handed out. We’d like to extend our

sympathy to Audrey Ger-rard and her family on the passing of husband and fa-ther, Claire Gerrard. On Saturday, May 4th several ladies attended the Pampered Chef presen-tation held in Basswood Hall. Carolyn Patenaude of Holland provided a demonstration on food preparation using many of her utensils. With some audience participation they whipped up a nice cucumber/lime dip to go with the potato chips she made in the microwave. She baked a chocolate cherry cake, made a love-

ly fruit tray with dip and served a delicious cran-berry/sherbet punch. Ev-eryone enjoyed sampling all these treats for lunch. Carolyn gave away two door prizes: 1. “for wear-ing pink” - Joan Kinley of Gladstone, 2. “gift basket” - Linda Birch of Minnedo-sa. A percentage from the sales will go toward Waves of Hope, the dragon-boat racers. Kudos to Diane Harrington and friends for hosting this pleasant afternoon, supporting a very worthy cause.

Wondering who this colourful character is? We were too! After a little bit of digging, we identifi ed our new

friend as the White-Faced Ibis. Discovered seven miles outside of Minnedosa by Leanne and John Goetz, this un-usual bird is native to the northern United States and has recently migrated from as far south as Mexico and South America. According to online resources, two - ten percent of White-Faced Ibis sightings come from southern Manito-ba, making us feel a little lucky to have caught one on fi lm. Inhabiting freshwater wetlands, these birds feed on insects, small fi sh, and even frogs by probing through mud and water with their long and sensitive bills. Th e bare skin of their legs is grey most of the year, but deep-ens to a maroon in the breeding season. While males and females may look similar, males have longer bills and slightly outweigh the females. Due to habitat loss and pollution, the White-Faced Ibis is now being studied as a possible candidate for Federal listing under the Endan-gered Species Act.

The warmer tempera-tures earlier this week

has taken care of the ma-jority of the snow pack with some initial fi eld work likely to begin by this weekend setting the stage for seeding to commence in many areas throughout South Parkland early next week. Seems many pro-ducers have circled May 13-15th as potential start dates. Some early seeding activity has already been reported in southern and eastern areas of the prov-ince although at this point it is not likely to become general till the weekend. Once seeding begins progression can be quite rapid and will typically move along at an average rate of 10% per day. Cere-als and pulses will be a bit slower especially over the fi rst few acres as the bugs are being worked out however the oilseeds will go in well above this per-centage giving us our av-erage of 10% per day. Th is percentage is of particular importance in South Park-land since we have a much smaller seeding window and a less diverse crop rotation. Historically we tend to have somewhere between seven to 10 days of what could be termed prime seeding conditions where soils are neither to

wet nor to dry. Beyond this time frame and yields will begin to trend lower espe-cially when delayed into the last days of May and into early June. Th is is why most growers will strive to try to equip themselves or grow crops which allow them come close to match-ing this 10% of seeded acres guideline.

Winter Wheat and Volunteer Canola

One of the issues that was discussed at the recent “Winter Wheat Survival Clinic” held in Hamiota was how are growers go-ing to deal with the huge population of volunteer canola that is now in place as a result of the severe wind storms that scattered canola swathes last fall. In order to put the size of the problem into perspective

we decided to calculate approximate populations assuming a loss of fi ve bushels per acre of canola. Th ere are approxi-mately 100,000 seeds in a pound of canola and 50 pounds in a bushel. If one assumes a fi ve bushel per acre loss of canola due to shattering this will mean there is 25 million seeds per acre or approximately 575 seeds per square foot. Compounding this volunteer canola problem will be that un-germinated winter wheat plants from

last fall will be germinating and emerging at the same time as the canola. Th is will mean having to deal with the volunteer canola prior to having made a fi rm decision on whether or not to keep the winter wheat stand. Herbicide selection and its corresponding re-sidual will be an important consideration based upon potential re-seed crop in place as a Plan B.

Declining Forage Acres and Alfalfa

Winterkill in the US

Th e continued decline in forage acres and the re-sulting feed shortages has recently been made worse by the severe alfalfa win-terkill being reported out of the US Midwest. Th e level of alfalfa winterkill has gradually become more evident as stands begin to green up this spring. Th e winterkill appears to be the result of fi elds already stressed due to frequent and late cut-ting and then being hit by severe ice encasement of the crown as a result of the

frequent late winter snow storms that hit much of this region. Th is injury will likely ensure that a forage shortage in this region will be in aff ect well into the summer of 2014 mean-ing any surpluses from Manitoba this year will be readily absorbed into this region. Given our already depleted inventories this maybe an opportunity for growers to still consider adding forages to their seeding plans this spring.

Dear Reena, I used the manufactur-er’s recommended solu-tion for cleaning the glass on my gas fi replace and the black/brown remains on a signifi cant part of the glass. Also, I cleaned the dust and some rust off the black in-sert but there is still white residue on it and some of the residue has formed small balls of residue. Can you help me to clean both parts of this fi replace? It is about 12 years old and was rented so probably was not cleaned annually. Patricia

Dear Patricia, To clean the glass, you should typically use only manufacturer recom-mended products. Any-thing else can damage the glass and leave permanent marks. If the manufac-turer’s product is not suf-

fi cient then contact the manufacturer about the best possible advice on how to clean the fi replace. If you want to tackle this challenge yourself, clean the glass using a damp cloth and cold ashes, wipe in a circular direction until the glass is clean.

Dear Reena, Please give me an easy recipe for bath salts. Laura

Absolutely Laura! Combine one cup of each: table salt, Epsom salt and baking soda. For bub-bles add one-quarter cup shampoo.

Dear Reena, Just heard of your books this morning on T.V. and found you at your website. Can you suggest any natural remedies for

getting rid of tiny baby spi-ders that seem to be in my kitchen on top of my cup-boards and love to come out in the morning when I turn on the light? I am sure Raid would work but I want something not so toxic, please help! Carol

Carol, I have had a few in-quiries lately about the beloved arachnid and although they defi nitely have their place in our ecosystem the kitchen is not one of them. Set out bowls of cloves and bro-ken chestnuts around the kitchen they don’t like the smell. Secondly, if you have wooden window sills you can clean them with Pledge (spiders don’t like that smell either).

Update from Carol:

I tried the cloves but did not have whole ones so I used the powdered stuff that I had in the spice rack and it worked! P.S. Added bonus, the cupboards smell great!

Hello Reena, I look forward to your column in the newspaper each week. Your solutions are great! Here is my ques-tion; how do I get freez-er smell out of ice cube trays? , Liz

Hi Liz, When making ice cubes let’s begin with the water supply, if you have hard water, with lots of minerals in it, you’re best off to use distilled water. Whether starting with tap water or distilled water, boil the water to get some of the air out. If you’re pouring the water into plastic trays, let the wa-ter cool somewhat before making ice cubes. Chances are that the odor is coming from food that has gotten into the insulation system of your freezer. Put 1-tbsp. vanilla extract on a small plate and set it in the freez-er, repeat three times. Or purchase activated char-coal from a pet store. Place in freezer to remove smell. Lastly, clean the ice cube trays periodically with a mixture of baking soda and water.

Dear Reena, My best solution for removal of chewing gum (I hate it on my shoes) is to use lighter fl uid. It works amazingly well. Pour on and work in with fi nger or toothbrush and it will liter-ally roll off . It is also excel-lent for removal of store stickers and glue residue. I have never had it ruin any-thing. Gail

Fabulous Tips of the Week

When buying a skil-let even if it has non-stick coating make sure it has a thick bottom. Th e thicker the bottom, the more con-trol you will have over the pan. A thin pan can’t han-dle high heat and can get hot spots or warp, making it easier for food burn. Th row out non-stick pans or baking sheets if the coating begins to come off . Also, cooking with lemon-based foods in non-stick ware may reduce durability and the coat-ing is more likely to peel.

You don’t need to buy “a set” of pots, just make sure that you have the es-sentials. Collect a 2-quart saucepan, a 4-quart sauce-pan, 8-quart stockpot and perhaps a non-stick fry pan (that way you can re-duce fat quantity).

By KEN KINGDON

While waiting for in-spiration to hit re:

a new monthly article, the storm that left behind more than 30 cm of snow on April 30th/May 1st pro-vided some fodder for my writing. However, something twigged in my brain that perhaps I had already written an article on that subject. I looked back in the fi les, and sure enough, there was one from 2004.Now, I’m pretty down to earth and I generally rec-ognize most of my short-comings, but I was shocked to see how unoriginal I am, after rereading that article. Here I was, planning to write about how a spring storm in early May, though fi erce, really doesn’t have much impact on wildlife. I was going to mention that the early sparrows, and even the Tree Swallows and Blue Birds are hardy enough to take on these spring blasts, as long as the storms don’t last too long.I was going to mention that the more delicate birds – the ones that overwinter in the tropics - don’t show up until mid or late May, and thus are usually spared

the worst of our spring weather. Next, I was going to write about how we might wish that the snow on the ground would kill off any ticks unfortunate enough to drop off . In fact, I wasalso going to mention that I grabbed a fat female tick that a moose had shaken off into the snow, and I put it into one of the house plants. I was also going to describe how it promptly came to life, wandering away to lay eggs in the oregano. Anyway, imagine my astonishment when I read the article from 2004 and found that I had covered all these themes (except the idea about putting the tick in the oregano - that was a new idea). Hmm, am I getting to the stage where I start re-peating my stories, while friends and family smile and dumbly nod their heads as if they have nev-er heard them? Shoot me now .... So, in an eff ort to come up with some origi-nal thoughts, I would like to follow up on the fate of the bear I wrote about last December. Well, the good news is that the den is

empty, indicating that the bear successfully made it through the winter. Th e last time I saw evi-dence of occupancy at the den was during the fi rst week of April, when I skied past on my way to work. I noticed some fresh tracks in the snow around the den, but no tracks leading away. I also swear I could hear some grumbling coming from the hole ... no doubt directed at the cold spring weather. From that point on, I used a couple of diff er-ent spotting points to keep an eye out for the poor beast. I fully expected to be able to see it sunning itself in the feeble spring

temperatures we were get-ting in April. Well, to make a long story short, I never did see the bear. I did, however, see a set of bear tracks about 300 metres north of the den late in April. I was skiing to work on April 22nd – a re-cord for me – when I hap-pened to notice bear tracks criss-crossing the snow. I can’t say for certain that the tracks belonged to “my” bear, but it does seem likely. As well, I guess I was wrong about it having cubs – there was only a single set of adult tracks around the entrance to the den. So, either the bear was a male, or else it was a young

female that was too small to have cubs. I’m still leaning to-ward the latter, especially given the rather spacious and well appointed den that it had dug. Let’s face it – males of most species are just too lazy to go to that much fuss and bother. One more thing. I of-ten hear discussions about how a late spring aff ects bears. I’ve been giving it some thought, and can’t see how a snowy April makes much diff erence to a bear. Even in the best of times, Aprils must be a lean month. While the bears are usually out of their dens, and free to walk around,

there is very little for them to eat. Aspens and dande-lions, both major spring food sources, don’t fl ower until late April or early May. Ants don’t show up in any number until June, and berry season only starts in July. Th en, to help pack on the real pounds for winter, the bears have to wait until August for the nuts to ripen. So, while I’m sure that the bears are not overly impressed by our cool weather, as long as the snow doesn’t drag out too much longer, they, like us, will have put this whole thing behind them by June.

OBITUARIES

NOTICE

May Mackay Dalton(nee Gibson)

January , - January ,

After a rich and full life, May died on January 9, 2013 with family at her side at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home. She was predeceased by her husband of nearly sixty years, James Stanley Dalton. May was born in York Township (now Toronto) on January 12, 1925 to Mary and Arthur Gibson who had emigrated from

Scotland about a decade earlier. After graduating from high school and working at various jobs, including at Rogers Majestic where

they made radios, she took nurses training at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, graduating as an RN at the top of her class in

1950. After a stint at Sick Kids in Toronto, she answered an ad posting for a nursing position “out West” and found herself on the train to

Birtle, Manitoba. She met her husband and life partner Jim Dalton, a local hardware store owner, and they married in January 1952. What followed was a busy rural life raising four children, juggling the business, family, and her nursing career during this period of rapid social change on the Prairies. May is survived by her four siblings Andrew Gibson, Kathleen Ward (who was at her side when she died), Arthur Gibson and Barbara Beattie; her four children James Arthur (Lorraine), Barbara Francis (Ian), Mary Laura, and Janice Corinne (Tom); her grandchildren Janice, Andrew and Mary Dalton; Mullein, Heather and Cara Th orleifson; Jeremy, Cory, Beatrice and Joshua Butler; Nathan, Trevor and Hannah Crook, and her great grandchildren Rowan, Willow, Kade and Jaylen. May was an exceptional nurse and a special person to her family, friends and co-workers. She retired from nursing in the 1980s, spending her fi nal years doing public health. During her long life, she survived too many diseases to list, and yet managed to die of old age, a condition she did not particularly enjoy. From small-town Manitoba, she taught her children about the world beyond the Birdtail valley, about music, politics and life. She was well rounded as well as well read, spiritual and yet practical. She passed on her love of reading, never censoring, always encouraging. World issues, history, geography and politics were common mealtime discussion topics. May had an implicit trust in other people. She kept up with current events until just before her death, and was always an advocate for social justice, standing up for herself and her family. May was an avid reader, as well as music lover, golfer and birdwatcher. She was active in the Anglican Church, attending general synod in the 1970s. She did the books for the local golf club for several years and, more recently, enjoyed various activites at the local Birtle Seniors Drop-in. She loved to travel with Jim, as well as taking her children and grandchildren on trips to Britain, Toronto or British Columbia. She treasured memories of trips to visit her children, from Inuvik to New Brunswick and many places in-between, a special wedding anniversary holiday in Belize, family visits to Scotland and long leisurely road trips with sister Barbara and her husband Tom. In 2007, May and Jim moved from Birtle to a condo beside the river in Minnedosa. Th ey were closer to family, but they missed their long-time friends from Birtle, including Lillian and Doug Wilson, Frank Crew as well as the many patients, clients and customers from May’s long nursing career and Jim’s hardware store. During the last few years May received excellent health care from the staff of the Minnedosa Hospital and Personal Care Home. Th e family would like to sincerely thank all of the aids, home care workers, nurses, doctors and other support staff at these institutions. A private family gathering will take place on Sunday May 19 at the cemetery in Birtle, Manitoba where May’s ashes will be interred next to her husband Jim. A family and friends potluck picnic at the Birtle Riverside Park will follow at 3:30 p.m.

law, Frances Dale, and brother-in-law, George Dale. Harry was born April 28, 1921 in the Empire district, fi fteen miles

northeast of Minnedosa. He attended the Empire school with his siblings, and after completing Grade 8, entered the work force. He learned the value of hard work, working long hours, farming with his father and hiring out to farmers in the area. However, farming was not his calling and on July 14, 1941 at the age of 24, Harry enlisted and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was sent to Toronto and then to Hagersville, Ontario. Th is was an incredible experience for the farm boy who had never been away from home. Harry worked in aircraft electrical maintenance for two years and then returned to Paulsen, Manitoba in 1943 where he worked until his discharge from the RCAF in 1949. Although he never went overseas, and underplayed his own contribution to the War eff ort, Harry always acknowledged the enormous impact the RCAF and individual pilots had on the outcome of the war. Th rough the matchmaking skills of his uncle, Harry met Eunice Childs, marrying her on December 12, 1953; a union that lasted almost 50 years. Th eir home was always open to family and friends. Th e well-groomed yard and vast garden revealed countless hours of Harry’s planting, weeding and nurturing. Harry was a “Jack-of-all-trades.” He took pride in his work. No task was too small or too large. He dug wells and shingled roofs with his brother Donald. He was a gas jockey for Minnedosa Auto Sales. From steam engine days to diesel, Harry was employed as a brakeman for CPR for 13 years. He gave 24 years of dedicated service to Morris Industries (Minntoba Industries, Agristeel), manufacturing farm machinery. Harry retired in 1986. Besides his regular busy work schedule, Harry found time for volunteering in the community. He touched many lives in many diff erent ways. He was a very positive man who always had a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye, and a story to tell. Harry will be remembered for the remarkable 30 years of volunteering at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home. As a resident of Townview Manor, Harry was always a willing driver for the “Seniors”, be it shopping, medical appointments or social gatherings. As an active member of Townview, Harry assisted with the weekly bingo, shuffl eboard, and coff ee parties. He was always willing and ready to lend a helping hand. Harry loved people. He truly enjoyed his daily outings; it was a chance to chat with old friends and an opportunity to meet new ones. No one was too old or too young. He always had time, a pleasant greeting, and a special hug for everyone he met. Friendship was cherished, and Harry touched the hearts of many. Harry’s memory was fl awless: events, dates, names, telephone numbers were always at his fi ngertips. He loved to reminisce about the good old days but he was totally aware of present day politics. He marvelled at technology and was fascinated with change and invention. His days were fi lled with activities: reading, cooking, watching TV, sewing, mending, walking, fi xing, inventing and socializing. Above all, Harry was content and appreciative with what life had given him. Harry’s memory will live forever in the hearts of family and friends. Th e funeral service to celebrate Harry’s life was held at Minnedosa Funeral Chapel on Friday, April 19, 2013 at 2:00 pm with Rev. Elgin Hall offi ciating. Interment followed in the Minnedosa Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial donations in memory of Harry may be made to the Minnedosa Personal Care Home, Box 960, Minnedosa, MB R0J 1E0 or a charity of choice. Arrangements were with Minnedosa Funeral Service. Th e family of Harry Jackson extends a heartfelt thank you to family and friends for their expressions of sympathy in the sudden loss of Harry. A special thank you to Rev. Elgin Hall for the beautiful service, organist Eleanor Taylor, the United Church Ladies for the lovely lunch, and Minnedosa Funeral Service for their professionalism and assistance. Th ank you, Lil Antoniw, for being a wonderful neighbour. Th ank you to everyone who took the time to chat, visit, and coff ee with Harry over the years. Your friendship was a special gift. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and support during this diffi cult time.

One Little Rose

I would rather have one little rose,From the garden of a friend,

Th an to have the choicest fl owers,When my stay on earth must end.

I would rather have one pleasant word,In kindness said to me,

Th an fl attery when my heart is still, And life has ceased to be.

I would rather have a loving smile, From friends I know are true,

Th an tears shed round my casket,When this world I’ve bid adieu.

So bring me fl owers today, Th at I can gaze upon;

I’d rather have one blossom now, Th an a truckload when I’m gone.
