warms of people gathered west of the historic Minnedosa CP station Saturday evening
to welcome the Holiday Train. The massive
275,000 lbs., 2000hp locomotive shook the earth
as it slowly pulled the 14
brightly decorated rail
cars into position illuminating the night sky with
hundreds of thousands
technology-leading LED

lights. The crowd of spectators cheered as the music started and the stage
door began to creep open
venting smoke coloured
with stage lighting. Kelly
Prescott, an award-winning country singer and
Holiday Train veteran and
the famed Devin Cuddy
along with the CP Holiday
Train Band, descended
with the stage door on the
modifi ed boxcar creating
a spectacular entrance.
Performing a mix of tra-

ditional and modern holiday-themed songs they

had the crowd singing and
clapping along.
The great live music
and brightly decorated
boxcars are CPs creative
way of raising money and
awareness for Food Banks
and their importance in
the communities. This is
the seventh time the CP
Holiday Train has graced
Minnedosas rails since
2002. Along with the entertainment there was a

special check presentation from CP Rail to the

Minnedosa and Area
Food Bank in the amount
of $5,500. Over the last
seven years CP has donated a gracious $22,200
to our community. Spectators were encouraged
to bring non-perishable
food items that were collected at the event by local
volunteers and passed on
to the Minnedosa Christmas Cheer Board to assist
in the preparation of this

Visiting 150 communities in North America
every year now, the CP
Holiday train first graced
the tracks in 1999 and has
raised over $10.6 million

on track and gaining more
steam every year by helping to raise money, food
and awareness for food

TARS and Ornge air ambulance services are partnering to raise awareness of snowmobile safety in an effort to reduce snowmobile related injuries and fatalities
in Canada this winter season. The partnership marks the
fi rst time two air ambulance services in Canada have
jointly promoted safe riding.
Since 2013, Ornge has transported more than 140
patients related to snowmobile trauma. During this same
time period, STARS responded to 46 snowmobile related
emergencies.
STARS and Ornge share a common goal of saving
lives across Canada, says STARS president and CEO
Andrea Robertson. By partnering together we want to
increase safety for Canadians who use snowmobiles for
work and recreation.
Snowmobile enthusiasts need to make informed and
proactive snowmobile-related decisions to improve the
wellbeing of passengers and drivers. STARS and Ornge
encourage riders to obtain safety training and drive sober.
Ornge responds to hundreds of snowmobile and
recreational vehicle trauma, says Dr. Andrew McCallum,
President and CEO of Ornge. One is too many. Through
our partnership with STARS, we want to emphasize the
importance of making informed and safe decisions while
enjoying the trails this winter season.
To arrive home safely, snowmobilers are encouraged to: Know the scenario, and expect the unexpected.
Spread out to avoid collisions, be vigilant and remain
situationally aware, stay on the trail and keep to the right.
Pack an emergency kit to prepare for emergency situations, drive sober, ride within your abilities and recognize potential hidden hazards including barbed wire
fences, railway tracks, steep drops and avalanche areas,
be mindful of changing weather conditions, thin ice and
poor visibility, wear appropriate safety gear, avoid riding
in unfamiliar areas at night, take precautions to protect
against hypothermia, frostbite and snow blindness, take
extra care when carrying passengers and only use snowmobiles designed for that purpose and carry one passenger at a time, let someone know where you will be, and
when you expect to return, avoid riding alone, carry GPS,
an emergency beacon, avalanche airbag (where appropriate), radio, first aid kit, tow rope, saws, extra clothing
and rations, maintain equipment in good working order
and take a safety course.

Zebra Mussels A Main Topic At LSRCD AGM

By CINDY MURRAY

he main topic of conversation at the annual meeting of the Little

Saskatchewan River Conservation District (LSRCD)
was invasive aquatic species in Manitoba. Bob Reside and Christian Tremblay, who both work for
Riding Mountain National
Park (RMNP), were guest
speakers at the meeting which was held at the
Basswood Hall on Tuesday, November 17th.
So, were kind of
lucky here in Manitoba
for the fact that we dont
have a lot of invasive species, Reside said. If you
were to look at Ontario, the
last count was 283 aquatic
invasive species, and we

have 15. He went on to

say the ones we are really worried about in this
area of course are the zebra mussels, and that is the
little beast you have heard
about from the media, and
is invading various waterways in the province.
Other invasive species of
concern in Manitoba are
Black Algae, White Bass,
Rainbow Smelt, Common
Carp, Rocksnot (algae) and
Rusty Crayfish (Invertebrate).
Interconnecting waterways, unclean fishing
equipment and gear, release of live bait, migration
of wildlife and overland
movement of recreational
watercraft are some of the
ways that these species can
be transferred from one

waterway to another.
Zebra Mussels originated in Eurasia and arrived in North America in
the ballast of commercial
ships. They were discovered in Lake Erie in 1986,
and moved westward into
Lake Winnipeg in 2013,
and to Cedar Lake and the
Red River in 2015. The zebra mussels are moving
into the western provinces
on recreational watercraft.
Th ey are fingernail-sized
with D-shaped shells. The
adults are usually one to
three cm long and strongly
attach to underwater surfaces. They grow in clusters, and once they start to
colonize something, they
literally and totally encase
it, Reside explained. One
of the things about these
guys is that they are very
prolifi c and one female
can produce a million eggs
per year. Because there are
not any natural predators,
they are extremely difficult to get rid of once they
are established, and the
impacts to ecological integrity are significant and
irreversible.
Th e establishment of
the zebra mussel could
make significant impacts
to water distribution infrastructure, small businesses, traditional fishery,
property values, as well as
recreational fishery, boating and water based activities. According to Tourism
Manitoba, $530M annually
is generated by visitors to
the national and provincial

parks who engage in boating, beach going and recreational fishing.

The annual costs to the
Ontario government who
are dealing with the zebra
mussels is $83M. The province of Alberta has projected that their annual costs
could be $75.5M and British Columbias is at $22M
per year should the zebra
mussels fi nd their way to
those provinces. Since zebra mussels were found on
the Selkirk dam, Manitoba
Hydro has been monitoring for them since 1996
and the province has been
keeping a sharp eye out for
them since 2005.
RMNP has also been
monitoring for the zebra
mussel veligers (larva)
since 2011. The park has
developed a prevention
program against the zebra
mussel which consists of
signs, publications, programs, media and internet
urging boaters to clean
their watercraft, drain all
water before transporting, dry boats, trailer and
all water-based gear and
equipment, and dispose of
unwanted live bait in the
trash and empty bait pails
on land, away from any
body of water.
Th ey have also set
up a boat inspection and
decontamination station
with zero tolerance in
mind. Watercraft movement has been identified
as the primary method
of transporting the zebra
mussel, so boats are in-

spected for signs of contamination. It is hoped this

will stop any contaminated
boats from entering lakes
within RMNP.
Th e park has also
adopted a proactive approach to testing lakes for
the presence of zebra mussels by looking for its DNA,
rather than looking for
the mussels themselves.
Normal monitoring will
look for the veliger (larvae)
of the mussel, Tremblay
said, explaining that larva
detection means the mussel population has been
present for up to two years.
In order to get a handle on
things before a colony gets
established, Tremblay said
the park takes water samples from essentially all the
lakes within its boundaries to test for the presence
of zebra mussel DNA, explaining that when a zebra
mussel dies, it dissolves
in the water and leaves
behind DNA. This type of
testing means that zebra
mussels can be detected
before they start procreating. Samples collected are
tested at the Freshwater
Institute in Winnipeg.
This informative presentation was followed up
by LSRCD Manager Colleen Cuvelier, who provided a review of activities
throughout the district
since the meeting in February; the first being a new
staff change. The technician for LSRCD is now
Curt Westwood, who has
taken over the job from
Kyle Brown. Cuvelier also
discussed the Alternative
Land Use Service (ALUS)
program. Th is was the
fi rst season of delivering
the program within the
district. So far, over 1,400
acres have enrolled in the
program, which pays landowners for the ecosystem
services that are generated
by their stewardship practices.
The types of projects

can include fencing, constructed wetlands, seed,

watering systems, shelterbelts and wetland restoration. Project proposals are
reviewed by a partnership
advisory committee.
Cuvelier recognized the
contribution of three former sub-district members
who had passed away in
the last year: John Neabel
from Minnedosa, Dave
Cooley from Erickson, and
Walter Sichewski from the
R.M. of Park. It was also
announced that the Conservation District Award
will be presented to Gord
and Margaret Hammell of
Erickson.
Several accomplishments that the LSRCD was
able to complete were:
A grassed waterway project in Erickson area, with
funding provided by the
Assiniboine Water Quality
Fund; the completion of
a gully stabilization north
of Basswood, from the
same funding as above;
and fi ve miles of shelter
belts planted, consisting
of 3,500 trees. LSRCD was
successful in getting Growing Forward 2 funding for
a livestock water project.
Th e dollars provided for
the installation of a buried
pipeline and two watering
bowls within the pasture.
Growing Forward 2 money
also made it possible for
the LSRCD to continue
with sampling water at
four sites within the Little
Saskatchewan River Watershed. The second component of this project is to
design a water retention
project, where once it is
constructed, the impacts
to water quality can be
monitored.
Following Cuveliers
presentation, two members of the Oakview Municipality - Gail Bridgeman
and John Thompson were
presented with a five-year
and a ten-year service pin.

Not For Your Eyes Only

Living in
Paradise
By

VERN MAY

EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC

oes Glenboro seem

exotic to you? Do you
think you might put your
house up on the market
to relocate 115 kilometres
down the road? Its possible I guess, but I suspect
that unless youve married
a gal from there and shes
told you youre moving,
it may just seem like a lot
of hassle. Unless you REALLY like camels.
On the fl
ipside of that
coin, are we doing the best
job possible to encourage
new visitors and residents
to our community if we focus our efforts on Brandon
and the radius of its media
reach? Do we present a
strong enough appeal to
uproot a taxpaying homeowner from a neighbouring prairie town of a similar size?
For someone to uproot their spouse and take
their kids from their social
circle and change schools
is a pretty big step. Sure,
it does happen and we do
see it, but not with enough
frequency that we can
bank on it. Instead, stimulating growth requires

Friday, December 11, 2015

that we cast the net a little

wider.
Beyond our region are
millions of people who
have yet to learn about
our town. We need to get
the word out to help them
discover a reason to get
curious about us. Maybe
it starts with them checking out our website to plan
a visit. A short stay might
help to sell them on why
this place Manitobas
Valley Paradise would
make a good home.
To whom is the rural
Manitoba opportunity an
exciting adventure, worthy
of making a bold move?
Its a reality that those already living the dream
on the prairies might not
see with the same enthusiasm. So where do we
look next? Do we seek out
former Manitobans that
went west to seek their
fortune on the oil rigs and
now want to return with
their riches to invest and
settle down? Do we appeal to Newfoundlanders
who are forging west for
new opportunities they
cant find on the rock? To

the western Europeans

to whom the wide open
spaces available on the
prairies are a stark (and
welcomed) contrast to
the crowded and growing
populations across the Atlantic?
Our absence of significant growth is not due to
the lack of local amenities,
but instead a narrow approach to our marketing.
Its important that we get
our message out there in
front of eyes who are looking for it and who will respond enthusiastically.
Using the tools available to us through the internet online video, social media, websites and
other popular platforms,
we need to share with the
world that were open for
business. When we embrace the global potential,
we open ourselves up to
international possibilities.
Otherwise, we can

continue to invest thousands of dollars to entice

Brandon folks to leave
the convenience of their
city life with all the shops,
services and recreation at
their fi ngertips in favour
of a daily commute. Selling the rural advantage to
nearby city slickers, how
likely are the odds for our
success?
Growth requires that
we challenge ourselves,
reach beyond our comfort
zone and set new goals to
achieve. At a community
level, those requirements
are the same.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk.

innedosa can be
proud to officially
welcome a new enterprising Canadian to our community.
On November
24th at the Winnipeg Via
Rail Station, Nick Boutall,
owner of Chipperfield
Coff ee Company and the
RocknHorse Ranch, received his Canadian Citizenship.
Originally
arriving
back in 2007 as a visitor
staying at his fathers farm
near Cardale, Nick applied
to become a permanent
resident, but unfortunately
his request was not processed in time and had to
return to his home of Tiverton, Devon, England
in February of 2010. Of
course as luck would have
it, a day after his arrival
back in England his papers
were approved. Returning
to Canada in the summer
of 2010 to help his father on
the farm, Nick was struck

Ag Report: 2015 Soil Moisture Survey

By ELMER KASKIW

ssessing spring soil

moisture should be
one of the factors considered when matching fields
to crop choice next spring.
Fall soil moisture levels
can assist with decisions
such as crop selection, determining potential yield,
estimating fertilizer requirements and flood prediction. The amount of soil
moisture within the root
zone just before freeze-up
is a good indication of what
to expect in the spring.
Each fall, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural
Development staff survey
soils at more than 105 georeferenced sites across the
agricultural areas of Manitoba. A sample of topsoil
and samples taken at 1 foot
intervals to a depth of 4
feet are obtained with soil
probes for analysis.
The 2015 survey data
is not yet available however early indications are
that locations across the
Southwest and Parkland
regions have been recharged fully as a result of
the moist to wet conditions
experienced through the
latter part of September
and much of October . A
fully recharged clay loam
soil profile to a depth of 4 ft
will have a moisture holding capacity of 1.5 inches
of soil water per foot or
approximately 6 inches

of available soil moisture.

Each inch of soil moisture
will be sufficient to produce 4.5 bushels of wheat
and 3.5 bushels of canola.
Th is means that without
accounting for snow melt
and assuming a minimal
1 inch loss of soil moisture
during establishment, we
would have sufficient soil
moisture to produce 22.5
bushels of wheat and 18
bushels of canola. In most
years a third to almost
half of our soil moisture
requirement comes from
snow. Given our recharged
soil profile this fall much of
this snow melt would runoff into our sloughs and
wetlands.
One of the best ways
producers can measure
subsoil moisture is through
the use of a moisture probe.
Many of you may have still
have a probe somewhere
in your farm shop that
likely hasnt been utilized
since the late 1980s and
early 1990s. If it cant be
located they are certainly
easy enough to construct.
The probe is a little over
1 metre (4 feet) long and
can be marked in 30 cm (1
foot) increments. The rod
is made of rolled steel and
can be coated with a nonrust material. A T-handle
is welded on the top. The
bottom has a ball bearing
and a 2.5 cm (1 inch) long
drill bit brazed onto it. The
ball bearing will stop when

it hits dry soil and will help

to pull the probe out of wet
soil. The drill bit is used
to determine if the probe
is in dry soil and will allow you to determine the
texture at that point. The
probe is designed to be
pushed into the soil as far
as moist soil goes and will
then stop. Probing soils
can help you determine
which fields might be better suited for high or low
moisture crops. Canola,
soybeans and fababeans
have a higher moisture
requirement while wheat,
fi eld peas and flax will
typically do better under
somewhat drier spring
soil moisture reserves.
Another factor that is
increasing in importance
in regards to moisture utilization is the effect that
increasing CO2 levels have
on plants. Most will recall
the extensive smoke and
haze conditions this past
June that arrived as plants
were beginning to enter
the reproductive stages of
development and had not
yet received any significant rainfall since planting. Many of you will also
recall the positive impact
this smoke condition had
on plant growth. This was
because the majority of
emissions from forest fires
contain
approximately
67% carbon, 25% water vapor and 6% carbon
monoxide. Since plants

build tissue by the process

of photosynthesis where
carbon is taken from the
air around them the more
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the greater will
be the level of photosynthesis and the more vigorous is the plant and root
growth. These elevated
carbon levels not only increased photosynthesis
but also reduce leaf water
loss. Plants also transpire
water vapor to keep an
even temperature. This
occurs through tiny holes
on the underside of plant
leaves, called stomata,

which are the openings

through which the plant
also absorbs CO2. With
higher level of CO2 concentration in the air the
stomata do not have to
be open as wide. The narrower opening means that
less water is transpired
and thus less water is required by the plants. In
other words, higher levels
of CO2 increase the effi ciency of water use by
plants. This increased CO2
concentration within the
plant and the corresponding reduced water loss has
been termed the CO2 fer-

tilization effect that results

in improved crop growth.
This aff ect was even more
noticeable in drought
stressed crops since the
eff ect of increased CO2
by reducing water loss
created the same effect
as providing more water.
Certainly an interesting
phenomenon to consider
in regards to moisture
availability although it is
unlikely to be experienced
at the same level as was
noted under the smoke
induced condition experienced last summer.

Weather Amazing For Santa Day Celebration

By JEFF PEARSON

n Saturday December
5th, Saint Nicholas
took a well-deserved break
from his North Pole workshop to visit the good children of our community at
the Minnedosa Community Conference Centre. The
annual visit is named in his
honour, Santa Day, and is
hosted by the Minnedosa
Chamber of Commerce
along with other festive
events for both children
and adults.
Santa arrived at 11
a.m to a long line of excited children waiting to tell
him what they wanted for
Christmas. I was so happy, Ho Ho Ho, to see all the
good children, there must
have been 200 or more,
exclaimed the jolly Saint
Nick, adding, Ill be back;
close your eyes Christmas
Eve and you will see! Mr.

After a courageous battle with

cancer and Multiple Sclerosis,
Bruce passed away peacefully
with his family by his side
in the Minnedosa Hospital.
Bruce was born in Minnedosa,
the third of six children born
to Ab and Dot Wareham. He
attended school in Newdale and
Strathclair. Bruce loved sports, playing
baseball with the Cardale Midget Ball
Club and in 1968 they won the Western Canada
Championship held at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. He also
loved to curl and took in many bonspiels, but especially enjoyed
the bonspieling.
After graduating he went to Winnipeg to work with Wareham
& Crowe Electric Ltd. He found out the city life wasnt for him so
he went to work in Inuvik to earn enough money so he could buy
the home farm, which he did in 1972. Bruce worked with his dad
growing grain crops and raising pigs.
In 1975, Bruce married Shirley Swiscoski from Minnedosa
and also gained a daughter, Rhonda. They started their life together
living in Newdale but soon after bought the neighbours farm and
moved there. In1979 the existing hog barn was converted to a seed
cleaning plant and Warehamdale Seeds Ltd. was established.
In 1981 Bruce was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, there were
certain things he had to change in his life from that point on, but he
was not too disheartened and tried to remain positive about things.
Shayne was born in 1982 and Bruce got his hired man. Working
alongside his grandpa and dad, Shayne became a farmer. Farming
was Bruces passion. He swathed, combined and drove the tractor
until his health no longer allowed him to do so.
Family and friends held a benefit social to raise funds for Bruce to
go to Tucson, Arizona for the Liberation Treatment, which helped
him regain circulation in his hands and feet. He was extremely
thankful and overwhelmed for the support.
Family was very important to Bruce. He talked to his dad and
mom almost every day of his life. When he lost his dad in 2010,
he made sure that he phoned his mom every night. He loved taking
his grandchildren, nieces and nephews for quad tours, they loved
it just as much.
Bruce will be missed by his wife Shirley of 40 years, son Shayne
(Valerie), daughter Rhonda (Peter) Gill, grandchildren Charlee
and Madi Wareham, Archer and Oliver Gill, mother Dot, siblings
Terry (Ruth), Randy (Marie), Jamie (Nancy), Tracey (Wayne)
Dereniwski, Brett (Colleen), many nieces, nephews, cousins and
friends. Bruce was predeceased by his father Ab in 2010.
Bruce was a kind and generous man who had an easy smile and
a twinkle in his eye. He will be greatly missed by his family and by
his many good, true lifelong friends.
A family graveside service was held on Friday, November 13th,
2015 at 1:00 p.m. in Newdale, MB with Terry Baker officiating
and a celebration of Bruces life at 2:00 p.m. in the Newdale
Community Hall. Campbell Funeral Home, Hamiota, MB was in
charge of arrangements.

REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
Is it possible to renew the
look of my cutlery? Either
the dishwasher, or our
water which has a high rust
content, or both, have it
looking pretty bad.Donna
Dear Donna,
In commercial settings;
it is very common to toss
cutlery into a sink of plain
old white vinegar, let soak
and polish with a cloth.
Or cut a potato in half and
sprinkle it with powdered
laundry detergent, rub
onto spots, rinse and dry.
Doing this gets rid of water
and rust spots. Bar Keepers
Friend is another effective
option. To make your own
silver or stainless steel
cleaner: Place crumpled
aluminum foil in a pan or
plastic bucket. Dissolve
one quarter cup washing
soda in enough hot water
to cover the cutlery. Place
cutlery on foil and let stand
for five minutes until the
stains are gone. Rinse and
polish dry.
Dear Reena
How can I get a strong
moldy smell out of clothing? Marilyn
Dear Marilyn,
Soak washable clothes in
either white vinegar (the
smell of vinegar will evaporate), or 1 cup washing
soda and 10 cups water or
1 cup borax and 10 cups
water. Leave for 30 minutes
and wash as usual. Make
sure that you pour the entire contents of whichever
product you choose into
the washing machine. Doing so will not only freshen
fabrics; but will also clean
out the hoses in your washing machine.
Dear Reena,
A year or two ago you
published a cinnamon
bun recipe in the paper. It
calls for two cups of potato
water - what is that? Water
potatoes have soaked in?
Water potatoes have been
cooked in? Evelyn

Dear Evelyn,
Yes, I was referring to the
water in which potatoes
are cooked. The water with
added starch makes excellent bread dough. When
making potato water, wash
and peel three potatoes.
Cut potatoes and add to a
half pot of water. Boil for
about 20 minutes (or until
potatoes are soft). Drain
the potato water into a
measuring cup. Cool before using in dough recipe. Cooked potatoes or
leftover mashed potatoes
can also be used in potato
bread recipes.
Dear Reena,
Is there anything that I can
wipe on my feet to get rid
of foot odour? Darcy
Dear Darcy,
Pour vodka on a cloth and
wipe your feet. Vodka is an
amazing odour killer for
fabrics as well as skin.
Take the Sting Out of
Bandage Removal
I hold a warm blow dryer
on the corner of the bandage. As the glue softens,
the bandage peels off without pain. Submitted by
Marilyn
Wiping the area with Witch
Hazel, olive oil, baby oil or
Tea Tree Oil immediately
releases bandages from
the surface. Submitted by
Connor
Use a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol to release
bandage glue. Works like a
charm! Submitted by Jenn
