Fourteen years can seemingly go by quickly for the average person, but for someone diagnosed with a terminal illness, one that’s only cure is an organ transplant, the waiting can draw out these years. Although it hasn’t been an easy fourteen years, Charlotte L’Oste-Brown of Regina, has a positive outlook on life and continues to look forward as she awaits someone to give her the gift of life, the gift of lungs. She lives her life while waiting for a phone call, one which will see her ushered onto a plane destined for the city of Edmonton, the city

where her transplant will be done. Yet, L’OsteBrown isn’t one to sit idly by - in fact she’s never been someone to just wait around – so, despite life’s obstacles she has embarked on a new mission in life. She was given confirmation that she should pursue advocating on behalf of organ donation after a conversation with the regional director of the Canadian Transplant Association who encouraged her to tell her story; one that brings awareness to the province’s dismal numbers regarding organ and tissue donations. L’Oste-Brown had been living in Hazenmore, SK, where she operated a successful greenhouse business

and was busy being the mother of two active girls. She always found herself busy with life: coaching, dedicating time to the local school board, and enjoying an overall active lifestyle. Her lifestyle was completely altered in June 2003 when she was forced to slow down. She knew something was wrong one morning when her breathing had become laboured. Was it allergies and her surroundings? In September of 2003 she discovered it was something more as she was given a diagnosis of polymyositis - a disease which attacks connective tissue causing inflammation and degeneration of the muscles.

Farmers are in the ﬁelds where approximately half of the crops have been taken oﬀ in southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba. Although rain has set things back slightly, farmers are working hard and harvest is nearing completion.

Charlotte L’Oste-Brown joins thousands of people waiting for someone to choose to give them the gift of life. L’Oste-Brown is currently awaiting a lung transplant, but in the meantime is advocating and bringing awareness to organ and tissue donation in Saskatchewan, a topic that aﬀects everyone in the province. She spoke at the legislature on Tuesday, Sept. 6, during an open, public hearing.

Minister of Sustainable Development on tour Anne Davison VIRDEN EMPIRE-ADVANCE reporter1@empireadvance.ca

Lingering water issues from �loods in 2011 and 2014 are one of the reasons that MLA Doyle Piwniuk invited Minister of Sustainable Development Cathy Cox out from Winnipeg, to pay a visit to Arthur-Virden Constituency. When the PCs took over government, 18 portfolios shrank to 12 which meant redistribution of responsibilities. Minister Cox’s portfolio also encompasses water stewardship and conservation. As MLA for River East, Cox had not spent time in the riding, so MLA Doyle Piwniuk saw the opportunity to make her acquainted with one of the pressing issues – the high water table. Piwniuk explained, in an interview recently, said, “The very large aquifer under the Oak

with the high water table, the needs continue. Due to gusty conditions, a plane ride over the area was postponed until 7:00 p.m., Thursday, August 25. But, that afternoon the MLA took Minister Cox by car to Oak Lake and on down to the Deloraine area to Whitewater Lake. The large body of water located between Boissevain and Deloraine is traditionally more marsh than lake, but in recent years Whitewater has expanded and is subject to wave action which can further swamp bordering land. The lake grew after �loods of 2011, eating up land and threatening residents. The MLA suggests that a better outlet for Whitewater is needed and could be used when

Medora Creek and the Souris River are at low water levels, such as right now. Whitewater Lake continues to be over-full and Piwniuk hopes the provincial government will consider solutions to a current overabundance of surface water and overfull aquifers such as a control culvert to release water into the creek. He also referred to ALUS, a program in the conceptual stage proposed by MP of DauphinSwan River-Neepawa, Robert Sopuck. Alternate Land Use could provide water storage by paying farmers whose land becomes dedicated to water retention. This would mean solutions for both drainage off crop land and for conservation of

wildlife wetlands. Piwniuk points out this is not the �irst meeting with government ministers this year regarding water issues. Earlier in September the Assiniboine River Basin Initiative (ARBI) met near Shell Mouth Dam. Agricultural land below the dam has been storing extra water for about a decade. Meanwhile, ARBI is working toward cooperative management (in Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Manitoba) of water �lowing into and through the Assiniboine River basin. Minister Cox saw �irsthand, the lay of the land, the problems this part of Manitoba experiences regarding water and how it can impact economics in the area.

Awaiting the gift of life Continued from page 1 The polymyositis then triggered pulmonary fibrosis, which is the thickening of tissues between the lungs’ air sacs. As the tissue thickens it becomes damaged and this damage is irreversible. Her only hope became maintaining her health and waiting for the moment when the possibility of an organ donation would become a reality – she is now at the top of the donation list. “From 2003 to 2014 it was a gradual process,” L’Oste-Brown explained. “I was losing air and I had to cut down on my physical activity. At that time I was down to approximately 68 percent oxygen, but in August 2014 I had a bad infection and my oxygen dropped to approximately 38 percent.” Almost on cue the oxygen tank she had been breathing from needed to be switched to a new tank: “I’m now on oxygen for 24-hours a day and since December 1, 2015 first I’ve been at the top of the list waiting for lungs.” Lungs, L’Oste-Brown, says are a very particular organ donation because they have to be the exact chest size, blood type, and height. The lung cannot be trimmed to change shape; it has to be the perfect match. Until she receives that call L’Oste-Brown will continue to eat well, exercise as she can, and keep an open mind while utilizing non-traditional medicine as well as medical doctors’ treatments recommendations. “I’ve worked hard to look after myself,” she said. “I’ve tried everything and I think it has all benefitted me in its own way. I’ve seen a herbalist, gone to acupuncture, and always searched for the next thing.” Her medical doctors were happy to work with her and her decision to seek alternative care, but she credits both traditional and non-traditional medicine for where she is today. “I fully believe that for a person to maintain their health they need both traditional and nontraditional care,” she added. Although she is no longer using non-traditional practices as the operation is very precise and the traditional medical team is able to do their best work when they know exactly what they’re working with and how what they do will affect their patient. Dealing with this challenge has given L’OsteBrown a new mission, a different reason to push forward in life, to bring

the topic of organ donations to the forefront of Saskatchewan’s mind. A cause not only dear to her heart, but one that she was shocked her home province wasn’t more involved in –currently only one percent of the population in the Saskatchewan are organ donors. “One percent is not enough especially in our province, a province of giving; I personally thought that was shocking,” L’ O s t e - B r o w n stated. “So, the discussion in Saskatchewan needs to happen. Here it’s all about that sticker that comes with your health card and talking to your family.” It’s imperative that the individual who wants to be an organ donor discuss it with their family as both the donor and next-of-kin must consent to the donation. Even if the donor has said they would like to become a donor their family has the last say on the matter. L’Oste-Brown is in favour of an opt-out registry, which would see everyone in Saskatchewan automatically added to an organ donor list with the option of contacting the registry to have their name taken off the list. This is because, as she speaks with people she has been told often that they mean to get around to putting the sticker on their health card, to signing the organ donor card that sits with their licence, but just haven’t gotten to it yet. “People don’t know when an accident will happen so waiting to sign their donor card - to put that sticker on their health card - might not happen even if they had intended to; for people waiting for a donation, we don’t always have tomorrow,” L’Oste-Brown stated. So, an opt-out program would spur those who don’t want to be organ donors to call, while those who just haven’t gotten around to putting the sticker on their health card will already be on the list. This is a topic L’OsteBrown spoke at the legislature on Tuesday, Sept. 6, during a public hearing regarding organ donations. Her intention is to bring this topic of an improved registry into discussion and push for the government to develop a better system than what is currently in place in Saskatchewan. Whether it is an opt-out registry or a registration done online for those that want to be organ donors ulti-

mately a change needs to be made to make the list of donors more accessible and easier to locate. “The registry needs to be available to EMS immediately because if they come across an accident at one a.m., they need to be able to look up that

“

solutely able to donate, people with cancer can donate, smokers can still donate; they actually have a machine now that can clean a smoker’s lung up to 78 percent and that’s better than the alternative. I can function on 78 percent. But,

If you become an organ donor you can save eight lives and change 70. - Charlotte L’Oste-Brown

person’s information and know if they were an organ donor,” she stated. In fact the system is all in place to facilitate a registry as healthcare has moved towards digital files, which can be accessed online by healthcare professionals as needed. It would be a matter of adding the information onto the file. Something which has already found success in British Columbia where registering to be an organ donor online simply requires your health number, name, date of birth, address, and having a parent/guardian sign on behalf of a minor. A fear that people have if they identify themselves as an organ donor is that their life won’t be cared for in the same way as someone who isn’t an organ donor, but this goes against the Hippocratic Oath and the morality of being a health professional. L’Oste-Brown thusly explained that she and the thousands of others waiting for an organ donation are not simply waiting for someone to die; they are all waiting for someone to make a decision that will give them the gift of life. Approximately 4,500 people in Canada were waiting for an organ donation in 2014 and 278 individuals died while waiting for transplants according to Health Canada. “Many people think, ‘Well we just need 4,500 or 5,000 people to donate then,’” L’Oste-Brown explains. “But that’s not the case, for example 80 percent of lungs cannot be used in an organ transplant because of how vulnerable they are, which means more donors are needed.” In addition to this it is important to note that children need child donations and adults need adult donations “People are never too old to donate organs,” L’Oste-Brown explained. “There is no age limit and older people are ab-

the best decision is, if you want to be an organ donor, to just become an organ donor and let the doctor decide at the time what can be used. Someone might have a failing heart, but maybe their kidneys are in good shape.” “If you become an organ donor you can save eight lives and change 70.” This is L’Oste-Brown’s new slogan because bone, tissue, and organs can all be utilized to change someone’s life.

For example burn victims are in need of tissue donations, tendons can be used in knee surgeries, and donated bone can be used in bone grafts. For now, L’Oste-Brown will continue to advocate for organ and tissue donations, while encouraging the province to create a better system for registering to be an organ donor; but, once she receives her new lungs L’ O s t e B r o w n looks forward to having more energy in speaking publically about organ donations, opening dialogue with others regarding her life’s current journey. A journey which she says will come full-circle when she gets that call from Edmonton saying everything is in place and someone has given her the gift of life.

Scentless Chamomile – Prevention and Control is Key! Scentless Chamomile (Matricaria perforata) is a noxious weed found in Saskatchewan that over recent wet years has spread quickly through the black and grey soil zones. Other names for this weed are wild daisy, scentless mayweed, false chamomile or barnyard daisy. Scentless chamomile can cause yield losses in cereal, pulse, forage and oilseed crops. It competes with the crops if allowed to grow. Scentless Chamomile can grow as an annual, winter annual, biennial or short-lived perennial. These plants range in height from 15 cm to 1 m (6 to 39 in.), has white daisy-like flowers, and finely divided fern-like leaves. It has an extensive, fibrous root system which allows it to cling to large clumps of soil. This enables it to survive cultivation, particularly in heavy or solonetzic soils. A single plant can produce half a million seeds which are easily dispersed. In the right conditions, these seeds can lie dormant in soil for more than a decade. Scentless Chamomile is often found in disturbed areas where there is little competition by established vegetation. It is most commonly found in ditches, agricultural land, low spots in fields, around slough margins, and in overgrazed pastures. It is spread by wind, water, weed infested agricultural equipment and crops. It grows best in high moisture areas, spreading rapidly during wet periods. Multiple methods are

often needed to control scentless chamomile. Some of these methods include: 1) Frequent shallow tillage to reduce the seed bank. This is best done on a hot dry day so the root system can dry out as much as possible. Also, late fall and early spring tillage to control the rosettes. 2) Mowing or swathing, often multiple times per year, before flowering 3) Maintaining a healthy strong forage stand to suppress the growth and establishment of the weed. Seeding alfalfa or smooth brome stands and maintaining them for several years may help reduce the infestation. 4) Plant a competitive crop such as barley, and

avoid less competitive crops such as flax or lentils 5) Hand-pulling or hoeing in small areas – the pulled plants should be burned or bagged. 6) Clean equipment well between fields and tarp loads or grain or bales during transport to prevent the spread of the seeds 7) Biological control scentless chamomile seed head weevil and a gall midge have been released in Saskatchewan. 8) Chemical control. Consult your local weed inspector, the Ag Knowledge Centre, Regional Forage Specialist or Crop Protection Guide for more information. Contact your rural municipality if you see it in ditches, but keep in mind

that the leaf shape and growth habit are key to identifying this plant. Finely divided fern-like leaves and several flowers on each flowering stem are characteristic of scentless chamomile. Similar looking plants with wider leaves are NOT scentless chamomile, so keep this in mind when reporting sightings of these plants to your RM. Prompt action and management are key when scentless chamomile are spotted – whether it’s individual plants or patches, big or small. Once they take a foothold in the landscape, they are very difficult to control. It can’t be an “I’ll take care of it later” management approach because by then it may be too late.

Smallacombe - Sims Hart Parr 30-60 Tractor Manitoba Agricultural Museum

Submitted

At the 2016 Threshermenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reunion and Stampede, Mr. David Stemler asked a Museum volunteer where the 30-60 Hart Parr tractor donated by the Sims Brothers was on the grounds. While taking Mr. Stemler to the tractor, Mr. Stemler identified himself to the volunteer as a descendant of Will Smallacombe who purchased this tractor when it was new. Mr Stemler indicated he may have a photo of the 30-60 at work on the Smallacombe farm. The volunteer then asked if he would consider donating a digital copy of this photo to the Museum. A digital copy was received by the Museum several days later and is the image seen here of a Hart Parr 30-60 powering a threshing machine. This photo is the only known photograph the Museum has of a tractor in the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection actually working in the field during its working life. Mr Stemler thought the photograph had been taken sometime in the 1920s. As the photograph appears to be taken with a film camera, which were somewhat common by the 1920s, the date appears to be correct. Previous to 1920, film cameras were somewhat rare with glass plate cameras being in common use. While the glass plate cameras were usually high quality cameras producing good quality images, they were expensive, not particularly user friendly and the glass plate negatives

The Smallacombe - Sims Hart Parr 30-60 in the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection is seen here sometime in the early 1920 as it powers a threshing machine in the field. Of all theÂ tractors and steamÂ engines in the collection, this is theÂ only photo the Museum has in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possession that shows a tractor in Â the collection actually working in the field.

were heavy and prone to breakage. A glass plate camera in the hands of the average person was a rare event but were commonly used by commercial photographers. William Smallacombe was one of six sons of Thomas and Lydia Smallacombe. Thomas was born in Devonshire, England and immigrated to Ontario with his parents in 1855. He married Lydia Perkins of Osborne Ontario in 1874. In 1878, Thomas came out to Manitoba and homesteaded a quarter in the Huron district which is west of Purves, Manitoba. Thomas returned to Ontario in 1879 for his wife

and two children, William and Albert. After they came back to the homestead they were blessed with four more boys and one girl. At some point, Thomas and Lydia moved to a farm in the Crystal City area. William Smallacombe however remained in the Purves area and operated a on a farm on the NE 1/4 18-2-10. In 1902 he married Lydia Shobbrook from Londesoro, Ontario. The family history is silent as to how he met a lady from Ontario. Perhaps he met her while visiting relatives in Ontario or met her when she was visiting friends or relatives in the Purves area. William appears to have been a successful farmer as he

then acquired the N 1/2 of 17-2-10 which was adjacent to the home 1/4. In 1909, William purchased the Hart Parr 30-60 for the sum of $4,000 which at the time was a significant amount of money. William would have also had to purchase a plow and a threshing machine to match the tractor. William used the tractor on his farm as well as performed custom threshing in the Purves area with the tractor. In 1912, following the passing of Lydiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Elizabeth Crawford, William and Lydia took in two of Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, Ted and Edna Crawford, as Mr Crawford was not able to take care of all of the six children he and

Elizabeth had in total. While Mr Crawford and the other four Crawford children remained in Ontario, the Smallacombes and the two Crawford children they took in, remained in close contact with the Crawfords. In 1929, William and Lydia moved to Pilot Mound to operate the John Deere Agency there. However in 1930 Lydia passed away from heart troubles and in 1931 William returned to the farm in the Purves area which he operated until 1941 when he retired. He lived in Ontario from 1942 to 1945 and then returned to Pilot Mound to live with Edna Crawford who had married Elmer Stemler of Pilot Mound. William Smallacombe passed away in 1958. In 1928, the Hart Parr 30-60 was sold by William Smallacombe and purchased by Herb Sims of the Snowflake, MB area. The 30-60 continued in service on the Sims farm. The tractor was parked in the 1940s, but Mr. Sims thought enough of tractor that he refused to let it be scrapped during the Second World War. The tractor was donated to the Museum in the 1950s, and was one of the first gas engines in the collection. For many years the tractor participated in the steam outfit versus gasoline outfit threshing contest at the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Threshermenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Reunion. The 30-60 remains in operating condition. While there is a tank wagon in the photo, probably the tank contained kerosene fuel as the Hart Parr 30-60 was cooled with oil. As well as oil not freezing in cold weather, oil cooling also resulted in the engine running hotter than it would if it was cooled with water. This was a benefit when the tractor was burning kerosene as a fuel as the higher engine temperatures more thoroughly vaporized the kerosene as the fuel / air mixture was drawn into the engine cylinders. However the pre-detonation of the fuel air mixture was a problem and the carburetor also injected a small amount of water into the fuel air mixture to prevent pre-detonation. It could well be that the tank wagon featured a multi compartment tank to hold kerosene and water, both of which would be consumed in the normal operation of the engine. Kerosene was a common tractor fuel from 1910 well into the 1920s with distillate fuel then appearing in the 1920s. Kerosene was cheaper than gasoline and as burning kerosene as a engine fuel required the operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, it was not really suitable for use in cars. Continued on page 10

Smallacombe - Sims Hart Parr 30-60 Tractor Continued from page 8 Tractor operators had the time to adjust the carburetor properly as the tractor was moving slowly or if on the belt, not moving at all. When burning kerosene as a fuel, the tractor operator also had to pay attention to the engine temperature and keep it up by adjusting the radiator shutters or curtains. Many kerosene rule tractors also had an intake manifold heat control. Using oil as a coolant fluid did away with radiator shutters and intake manifold heat. Kerosene was a byproduct of the petroleum refineries of the time which used thermal cracking to produce gasoline from oil. With the perfection in the late 1930s of catalytic cracking which more throughly broke down the molecule chains of oil, more gasoline and less kerosene or distillate was produced per barrel of crude oil. Kerosene then become more

expensive and so fell out of use as a tractor fuel. Mr. Stemler also donated digital copies of three other photos taken on the Smallacombe farm, two photos of a Fordson tractor pulling a binder and a photo of a horse drawn binder with the four horses identified as well as the man operating the binder. Probably the Fordson replaced horses on the Smallacombe farm for duties such as pulling binders and seed drills. Given the Fordson’s size and general maneuverability it was well suited for these duties. With the proper sized plow and threshing machine, the Fordson would do an adequate job with these machines however at a much slower pace than the larger Hart Parr. The Fordson is equipped with a single headlight. Given that farmers at the time were frugal, if the tractor was equipped with a headlight then William Smallacombe intended to operate the tractor at

night. Whether he was seeding, harrowing or pulling a grain binder at night is not known however one would suspect it would be seeding or harrowing. As well as speeding the seeding of a crop, operating at night was cooler for the operator. There are no Smal-

lacombes remaining in the Purves area and so the Smallacombe family has passed the way of many other Pioneer farm families in Western Canada. Other opportunities beckoned to many of these families and so they moved on from their farms. New people came to these farms,

worked and struggled like William and Lydia Smallacombe. Some made their lives and continue to make their lives on the farms. But once, the Smallacombes and others were here. The Manitoba Agricultural Museum is open year round and operates a website at http://ag-

What you need to know before you travel abroad Considering a lengthy winter vacation or a permanent move? Here are a few things you need to know. For more countryspeci�ic information, visit the Foreign Affairs website. They even offer a registration service for Canadians travelling or living abroad so that the government can �ind and help you in the event of a natural disaster or war. If you’re considering a lengthier vacation than the standard 10 days, here are some important areas to consider before heading out. Medical Services Check with a health care professional six to eight weeks prior to departure to determine your need for vaccinations and/or preventive medications. Ensure that your routine immunizations (e.g., tetanus, diphtheria, polio, and measles) are up to date. Medical services should be easily available in large cities, but can be limited in remote areas, especially beach resorts. You will often have to

pay in advance for treatments. Prices may not be regulated by the government and can be costly. You cannot rely entirely on your provincial health plan while out of the country; supplementary travel medical insurance should be purchased prior to departure. Keep the details of your plan on you and be sure to leave a copy with a friend or family member at home. If you are away from Canada long enough to lose your provincial health coverage, full replacement insurance will be necessary. Check with your insurance provider before leaving Canada. Ensure that any medication you intend to take with you is legal and readily available in the country you are visiting. Prescription medications should be kept in the original container and be packed in carryon luggage. It is recommended that you bring an adequate supply and a copy of the prescription. Always consult a physician before purchasing

medicine manufactured in the country you are visiting. Car Insurance If you plan to drive in the country you are visiting, you may need to obtain additional automobile insurance prior to departure. Your Canadian coverage is most likely not valid outside the country. Although it can be expensive, full coverage is recommended and should be purchased before you leave Canada. You may also want to consider obtaining an International Driving Permit, issued by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA). Real Estate If you are planning to purchase real estate abroad, it is advisable to consult a lawyer, as real estate transactions, laws and practices can be complex and differ considerably from those in Canada. Additionally, rental agreements may not be regulated by the government, and in the event of a dispute, you may require the services

regarding the importation of food and animal products. Panama requires all visitors to have the equivalent of US$500 or a credit card upon entry, while Tunisia does not allow the import (or export) of Tunisian dinars, and all foreign currency must be declared. These restrictions vary from country to country and are often updated. Be sure you to check entry requirements and prohibited items before leaving Canada.

5Fi�e Tips fo� Boo�ing an All-Inclusi�e Vacation Canadians get great deals on package vacations to Mexico and Caribbean, mainly because there are lots of us who long to escape the frigid winter conditions, and we’re price-sensitive by nature. Often an all-inclusive package costs just a few hundred dollars more than a ﬂight alone.

1. Book During the Oﬀ-Season

You’ll get the best deals in the Caribbean and Mexico from the end of May through October, for obvious reasons. But if you want to enjoy the sun when it’s in scarce supply in Canada, your best bet is to travel in October or November, when prices are still low. They soar around Christmas, drop again after New Year’s and rise steadily through January and February, peaking in March. Cuba and the Dominican Republic qualify as the least expensive destinations and have some truly lovely four-star resorts with lots of activities to keep both the young and the old happily occupied.

3. Take Advantage of Early Booking Bonuses

Lock in your vacation plans earlier and you’ll pay less. Early booking bonuses can sometimes save several thousand dollars on the cost of a vacation package for your family. You’ll also likely have your pick of resorts and dates

4. Go the Last-Minute Route

Via Weyburn/Estevan/Carlyle

If you’re not traveling at peak times (like Christmas or March Break) and you’re ﬂexible about where you go, you can get some terriﬁc last-minute deals.

3 Days—2 Nights $115.00 Cdn per person (based on double occupancy). Enjoy a 2 night’s stay at Club Regent Hotel & Casino and a side trip to McPhillips Station Casino.

5. Look for Deals for Kids

Travelling with the kids? Keep your eyes peeled for all-inclusive deals where kids stay and eat for free.

and most countries will not grant permission for a foreigner to work if they have already entered the country as a tourist. Entry Restrictions Most countries have speci�ic restrictions on what visitors may bring into the country. Cuba prohibits the entry at customs of satellite phones, GPS equipment, and some small appliances, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. Both Cuba and Mexico demand prior import permission on charitable donations. Australia has strict laws

Quebec City, Quebec Quebec City may be the only forti�ied city north of Mexico, but it welcomes visitors with open arms. Explore the Citadel, where you might catch Canadian troops staging a military ceremony. As for food, you could splurge on afternoon tea at the Chateau Frontenac, or do as the locals do and snack on poutine— french fries with gravy and cheese curds.

Montreal, Quebec Since Cartier landed here in 1535, Montreal has evolved from a tiny village to a major metropolis. Old Montreal’s Parisian-style streets are a wonderful place to wander—stop at an intimate bistro or sidewalk café for a taste of Europe. But in addition to all the old-fashioned elegance, you’ll also �ind a vibrant dining and club scene that re�lects contemporary Montreal’s culturally diverse population.

Toronto, Ontario We’ve heard Toronto described as “New York City run by the Swiss,” and it’s true—you can �ind world-class theatre, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the

Niagara Fall, Ontario We won’t lie: Niagara Falls is uber-touristy. There are wax museums and a Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, and if it’s a fast-food chain, you can probably �ind it here. But even the most jaded hipster shouldn’t pass up a chance to visit this town, because the Falls themselves are spectacular.

Halifax, Nova Scotia Travellers say Halifax is best seen on foot, so park the car and start walking. Immerse yourself in Halifax’s rich history at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and be sure to survey the city from the 18th-century Citadel National Historic Site. Then walk into any of Halifax’s great bars and restaurants and catch some live music to round out your day.

A Year in the Life of Souris District Arts Council - 2016 Ever since the seeds were planted to start an Arts Council 12 years ago, one of our main goals has been to foster the arts in our own community. While planning a year of arts activities, we try to touch on different aspects in the arts, reaching out to new people as possible new concert goers, and yet encouraging our current season’s ticket holders and present attendees with providing another performance they will enjoy so that they will keep on coming back for more. In addition, we want to be able to expand on the artistic endeavours in

the Souris area. During this past year, five performances were presented - classically trained Terry Barber took us around the world in 80 minutes with a variety of melodies, both new and familiar; Jesse Peters tickled the ivories, crooning some of our favourite Christmas songs from days gone by; MTC’s rural touring production, The Hound of the Baskervilles, had the audience in gales of laughter with their spoof of this classic tale of detective Sherlock Holmes; Winnipeg’s own Sierra Noble fiddled and stepdanced to everyone’s

delight and treated us to some of her newer music written in Nashville, and JetStream, one of the premier ensembles of the Royal Canadian Air Force Band, got the toes atappin’ and the hands a-clappin’. Each performance brought its own special artistic talents to the fore, and we were so privileged to be a part of it all. We have also attended workshops, started to develop our own website, and begun the preparations for the coming year’s events. It has been another great year! There are so many people to thank, including the Manitoba Arts Net-

work for including us in their tours, Manitoba Culture, Heritage & Tourism for our Audience Development Grants, the Municipality of Souris-Glenwood for their ongoing support, the Board of the Avalon Theatre who have worked with us to improve the facility for our performances, as well as all of our local sponsors, who so willingly helped us reach our goals by providing their monetary support. And then there are all the volunteers who have helped us – the board members, our members-atlarge and our friends of the arts – who have assisted us in being

able to host the events we have planned. And now, Souris District Arts Council is thrilled to be able to announce the artists who will be part of our coming season: • Brad Johner and the Johner Boys from Saskatoon share a taste of Canadian country music. • Michael Gabriel’s Strings Attached’ from Toronto combines his own music with original storytelling, a gifted orchestral ensemble, and a local choir to bring a “breathtaking coming together of sound”. • Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s rural touring production of

The Last Train to Nibroc will bring a delightful romantic comedy to our stage. • Jason Farnham of California brings An Evening of Piano in a truly entertaining evening with his Victor Borge-esque style of comedy. • The Beetles, the locally-acclaimed sensations from Brandon, will have take us down memory lane to the 60s and the songs of John, Paul, George, and Ringo We are looking forward to being able to bring the Souris District another year of quality entertainment and enjoyment at a reasonable price.

ern Belles” are a trio of young women hailing from Prince Edward Island - Catherine MacLellan, Ashley Condon and Meaghan Blanchard. They are three award-winning singer-songwriters with three distinctly stunning voices that, along stand powerfully, but come together with sweet harmonies, sharing old country, folk and Americana music. And to be sure there will be a few stories and tales and playful banter. • November 30 will be a night not to be missed at the Theatre. Michael Gabriel, a critically acclaimed singersongwriter will being his “Strings Attached” intimate concert to Town, showcasing his strong original material and breathtaking sound. But what will make it special is that our very own Community Choir will accompany him on some of his pieces! How exciting is that! • After the busy Christmas season, we will all be ready for a relaxing night of music. January 11 will feature an evening of mu-

sic reflecting the very essence of Soul. Luke McMaster, is a Brandon born singer who, with his one time singing partner Rob James, toured extensively opening for many of today’s stars, including Christine Aguilera and selling a gold album. In 2010 he participated with a group of performers sent to Afghanistan to entertain Canadian troops. He has also produced many award winning albums for other artists. • February 28 will be the date for the Regional Tour of The Royal Manitoba Theatre Production of Arlene Hut-

ton’s play, “Last Train To Nibroc”. The story is a patchwork quilt of family lore and stores the author heard as a child, stitched together to tell the fictional tale of May and Raleigh, two young people from Kentucky travelling by train from California to Chicago in 1940. They are strangers but strike up a conversation as train passengers do. Seniors may relate to the past and hopefully others will gain an insight into the lives of parents or grandparents. • Lisa Brokop, a Canadian musical treasure and award winning singer-songwrit-

er who has been entertaining audiences near and far for over 20 years, will bring her Patsy Cline Project to our stage. Lisa will be paying homage to one of music’s greatest ladies with some of Cline’s classic hits as well as some of her own material specifically written for this project. It will be a night to remember. • • • The ticket sale date has passed, but some season tickets are still available! Season ticket membership cost is $85 for adults or $60 for students for six shows. Order by phone 204-747-2670. Tick-

ets must be picked up at the home of Linda Watson, 119 Lovett St. S. (204-747-3575) by September 19. There will be NO pick-up of season tickets at the first concert, only single ticket sales.

Bottineau Winter Park offers adaptive program Judy Wells DELORAINE TIMES & STAR deltimes@mts.net

In 2012 the project “Annie’s House” was established at Bottineau Winter Park (BWP). This year round adaptive recreational facility was built in honour of Ann Nicole Nelson (Annie) who was North Dakota’s only fatality in the World Trade Centre disaster in September 2011. Annie’s parents found her ‘bucket list’, which had 37 items. The 7th one was to build a house in North Dakota. They knew Annie was very fond of BWP and she embraced diversity. The list inspired the “Annie’s House” project which was a collaborative effort by New York Says Thank You Foundation, BWP and friends and family from across the US. “We have built her a home in her memory,” said Brad Knudson, BWP general manager. Then in 2013 BWP partnered with Anne Carlsen Center to develop the Annie’s House Adaptive Recreation Program. The Anne Carlsen Center’s mission is to make the world a more inclusive place where independence is a gift to all.

“Annie liked to work with special needs. She believed in inclusion and so an adaptive program was initiated,” said Rachael Buss, Anne Carlsen Program Coordinator for Annie’s House. “The adaptive program is committed to providing free recreational experiences to all individuals with disabilities especially including veterans. We like to encourage veterans to come to Annie’s House as a group so they can be together again and talk.” Specially trained instructors are provided as well as modifications and adaptive equipment. “The idea is to maximize abilities and adventure at Annie’s House,” said Buss. These adventures started with skiing and have evolved into all season activities. Winter includes skiing, tubing, snowshoeing, ice fishing (Fish House) and relaxing in the lodge. Spring includes picnicking, bird watching and gardening. Summer includes fishing, camping, boating and canoeing. Fall includes hiking, bonfires and horseback riding. Family and friends are encouraged to accompany their disabled loved one. Keep in

They will be happy to help you. Note: The following are the 36 items on Annie’s list (for some reason there are two 23’s): 1. Be healthy/healthful 2. Be a good friend. 3. Keep secrets.

BWP is an all season destination Judy Wells DELORAINE TIMES & STAR deltimes@mts.net

Most people who grew up near the ManitobaUS border have known about Bottineau Winter Park their whole lives. They have very likely been there to enjoy some skiing as well. What they might not know is that the Park has expanded and evolved into a year round recreational park. The 120acre park has several adventures in store for every season. Spring offers:

• Picnicking • Bird watching • Gardening Summer offers: • Fishing • Camping • Hiking (Geocaching, which is the newest program) • Canoeing • Boating Fall offers: • Archery • Hiking • Bon�ires • Horeseback riding Winter offers: • Skiing • Tubing • Snowboarding • Snowshoeing

• Ice Fishing Brad Knudson has been involved with BWP for 40 years and serves as the general manager. He says the Park was opened in 1969. “The great amount of snowfall in 1968 was the inspiration to establish the Ski Park,” he said. Since then, many Canadians have taken advantage of the convenience of BWP. A family pass costs $505 US, which does not include tubing. There are daily rates but the season passes are encouraged if you are frequent visitors.

The season begins in late November (US Thanksgiving) and runs until mid or the end of March (snow conditions permitting). The Park is open every day except Christmas. Thursday evenings are “Canadians At Par” – from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. This special discount has been very bene�icial to the school ski bus programs at Deloraine, Waskada and Boissevain schools for many years. The park has also evolved with an adaptive program for individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities. For example, in the summer there is a program for all ages. It is a half-day science-based camp. “The participants learn about game and �ish. They learn how to identify animals by their tracks and much more. In the winter we host the North Dakota Special Olympics Winter Games which includes cross country skiing, snowboarding and downhill skiing,” said Rachael Boss, who is the Anne Carsen Program Coordinator for Annie’s House. Annie’s House is the state-of-the-art facility built at BWP in 2012 in honour of Ann Nicole Nelson who was the only North Dakotan to perish in the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Centre. “Annie’s House is totally green including geothermal for heating and cooling,” said Knudson. The facility is alcoholfree and can be rented

With over 90 Metres of road frontage it’s a perfect place for that retirement home or room for the kids to play while being close enough to town to enjoy it’s amenities and still have that country feel.

Managing Your Money

Tooth Fairy teachings for your kids A wobbling baby tooth is a sign that the Tooth Fairy will soon be visiting. It’s also a sign for parents – that it’s time to help guide your kids through their important, first-time money activities. Baby teeth earnings are more lucrative than you might think: In 2015, young Canadians could expect an average of $3.44 for a lost tooth – a 23 per cent increase over the 2014 average of $2.80 per tooth. That’s almost $70 for a full set of first teeth.* And depending on where they live in Canada, some youngsters can expect even more. In Québec, for example, the average Tooth Fairy payout is $4 while about five per cent of lucky young Canucks will find $20 per tooth under their pillow.** Here’s how you and the Tooth Fairy can help teach your young ones some basic lessons about money: Teach kids about handling coins and currency At some point, your child will want to save, spend or invest. Start them off on the right track by having them touch and feel some coins and identify their value. Show them how money adds up – how two

nickels equal a dime and five nickels equal a quarter. Get them a piggy bank and talk to them about the importance of saving for the things they want and for emergencies. Help your kids with first purchases Use the Tooth Fairy money to teach them the value of balancing wants and needs. Have them set aside money for savings and when their savings goal has been reached, reward them with a trip to the store for a small purchase. Show them how to shop for the best price and let your child complete the transaction on their own. Make the connection between kids and cash The Tooth Fairy likely isn’t the only source of cash for your kids – cash is often a popular birthday or holiday gift – so use each “gift” to reinforce the value of saving and spending wisely. Introduce the concept of budgeting As your kids get older, have them allocate their spending in line with their need to save according to a basic budget. Bank on it Show them how adults handle money by regularly taking them
