By Kelly Running Grade 12 students from Gordon F. Kells High School in Carlyle, Grace Smyth and Breanna Kehler, have been friends since Kindergarten. During the years the two friends have felt a calling to do something more for people in the world and have encouraged each other through the process. When most students are thinking about graduating high school and heading off to university in the fall, Grace and Breanna are focused on fundraising for their upcoming missions which are focused on helping women who have been victims of sexual violence and people who have been involved in human trafficking.

Grace is going to be embarking on a four month mission trip where she will work with Street Invaders in the Philippines working primarily with kids, helping with feeding programs, prison ministry, and working in orphanages. From here she will take part in a mission with Hope for Her International. She will travel through Thailand, India, and Nepal with women and girls who have been victims of sexual violence against women.

Grace will then return to the Philipines for a couple more weeks to help with Street Invaders again.

Breanna has a five month mission planned

Breanna Kehler and Grace Smyth, grade 12 students, are each fundraising for separate missions they will be taking part in. To help with fundraising efforts, King’s Department Store (where Grace works) and Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery (where Breanna works) are bringing the show Art and Illusion to Carlyle on Friday, May 22, with all funds raised going towards Breanna and Grace’s efforts. through Youth With a Mission (YWAM). Through YWAM she will be focused on the program, Abolitionist Human Trafficking Discipleship Training School.

She will begin with three months in Las Vegas for training where they will perform outreaches as well as outreaches in Mexico to people at risk before leav-

ing for an overseas mission for two months.

Although Breanna doesn’t know exactly where her overseas mission will take her yet, she explained that currently there are people in Thailand and Cambodia, while India and Nepal are also often visited by the program.

Driven by an invis-

ible force both girls are unable to articulate why they began doing missionary work, but have a silent drive pushing them to make a difference in the world.

Grace began with Street Invaders in 2012 in Prince Albert, the following year she went to the Philippines with them, and

has continued to give her time and efforts to those in need.

Breanna began in 2013, also with Street Invaders, and was first in Regina where she joined a group who would take warm drinks to people at night in the rougher neigh-

Last year she went to Prince Albert with Street Invaders as well and has decided to do an international mission to help those in need.

While taking part in these missions the young ladies explain a portion of what they do.

“We show them that they’re loved,” Breanna stated. “They’re not worthless, which is something you hear from them.

Someone to care and show them that someone loves them gives them hope.”

Grace agreed with this through Street Invaders and Hope for Her International, while also ex-

plaining a little bit more of what she will be doing in the Philippines: “We took food to a school that was in a garbage dump and went to the slums where we took food in the mornings.

There are many kids on the street there, so we try to help them out.”

As a way to help these two young women fundraise for their missions Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery has partnered with King’s Department Store to bring the show Art and Illusion to Carlyle on Friday, May 22.

Breanna has worked at Michael’s for the past few years, while Grace has worked at King’s. Their

Good works employers, Michael Ellis and Ken King, are very supportive of what the girls are doing and have organized the show as a fundraiser for the girls’ efforts.

Ellis laughs as he says the following is coming from “Michael former pastor of the Alliance Church:” “What these girls are doing is something that we’re told to do as a great commission. I don’t have time to go to Nepal because of my responsibilities here, but they can. So, what I can do as an owner of a business and as a regular community member is support the work that they’re doing. When they’re in Ne-

pal, in a sense I’m there with them. For them to be willing to do this is to be obedient to the great commission.”

“I see it as a unique opportunity as a community to support these two young women who are willing to make this sacrifice. As a community we should be proud of them and supportive of them with our finances and our prayer time.”

Art and Illusion features Keith Kitchen and Derek Selinger.

Kitchen is a musician from Swift Current, SK who regularly travels across the country performing. He has three stu-

dio albums and in 2013 took home the Folk/Roots Song of the Year through Covenant Awards.

Selinger is an illusionist who has travelled around the world including Las Vegas, New York, Paris, and Malaysia. He has won six international awards and has been featured on Discovery, Fox News, CTV, and Global TV. The cost of tickets, which can be purchased at Michael’s or King’s, are $20. Art and Illusion is being fully sponsored by Michael’s and King’s because the owners of these businesses are simply proud to have employees who are so

driven and focused on giving to those in need.

Guaranteed to be an evening of quality entertainment, it is one that is being held to help two young women make a difference in the world.

“Having people aware of what we’re doing, supporting us, and just thinking of us while we’re gone is nice,” Grace said. “Oftentimes missions are romanticized, you’re a good person going to do good, but it’s actually really challenging over there, being completely immersed in a different culture, so having people back home supporting us and thinking of us is a big thing.”

Carlyle’s Country Garden Greenhouse Celebrates 15th Year

By Lynne Bell Carlyle’s Country Garden Greenhouse opened for its 15th year of business on Thursday, May 7, and owners Allan and Sylvia Thomas say, “It’s been pretty non-stop since we opened the doors today.”

Along with Mother’s Day shoppers, the couple says that many of their regular customers returned for yet another year, eager to get their gardens ready for another prairie spring and summer.

“We really appreciate

their support,” says Sylvia. “Our customers come back year after year. Our customers come from our local area and even from Estevan, Regina, and Brandon. We get a lot of people from the lakes, too.”

A dream come true

by Donna Anderson For Kim Renwick, it really is a dream come true. Kim is the owner/operator of Kim's Greenhouse, situated on the farm of Murray and Kim Renwick, 2 miles west and 1 1/2 miles north of Elva. It all started from a love of gardening, a love of working with plants. She had no formal education in gardening, just a strong desire which drove her to learn more, try more and more plants by trial and error. She started out growing vegetables and flowers only for herself. But each year the number of plants grew, she germinated the seeds in her house, then transferred them to a small greenhouse. But the plants were getting so numerous they were overtaking the house! Finally she convinced her husband, Murray, that he should build her a large greenhouse. He was skeptical at first. But in 2011 it all became a reality when she officially opened Kim's Greenhouse for business that spring.

Since then, Murray has built one more greenhouse and expanded the original one. One is the retail side and the other is the production side. He has plans in the works to build yet another greenhouse, not necessarily so they can house more plants, but rather just to allow for more room and storage space as well. All of the pots, planters, Pro-mix (planting medium) and seeds are mostly ordered in the fall. The work begins a long time before any customers walk into a greenhouse in the spring. Fall is also the time Kim washes all her pots and containers which will be re-used. The Pro-mix is delivered to the greenhouse about January 2. Around January 29 the heat is turned on and after a day or so, once it is fully warmed up along with the soil, etc. , the first seeds are sown. These first seeds are several varieties of celery, geraniums, coleus and dahlia's. Around the first part of February she takes delivery of hostas, irises, and shrubs which have to be planted into larger containers. The petunias are started around March 1. Mid -March she plants up lily bulbs, cannas and dracena. Several plants are also brought in as plugs, which are of course then planted into pots for sale.

Dawn Kilfoyle of Lyleton is working along with Kim. As well, at various times several of her family members pitch in, everything from filling containers with Pro-mix, transplanting and watering. In the past years, her daugh-

ter Amy has been a big help as well. Murray does a lot of the heavy lifting of unloading the Pro-mix bales and, of course, is the all important fix-it and carpenter man.

When asking Kim what the most difficult task is, she and Dawn both agreed that it is probably deciding when to plant certain plants. It all depends on the type of spring it might be. If there is lots of snow, it could be a later spring, so some plants should be held back a week or two. If it looks like it could be an early spring, the push is on to get the seeds sown so that they will be ready for the customers who like to get a jump on spring and come and get their plants early. Then again, who can predict the weather -- a lot of it is a guessing game!

Kim does not have any special formula for potting up her plants. She just uses Pro-mix planting medium and lots of slow release fertilizer, particularly in the hanging

baskets. This fertilizer lasts from 5 to 6 months to cover the whole season. She likes to keep the temperature in the greenhouses around +15 celsius. One of the few pests she can encounter in the greenhouse is aphids. If this is noticed she releases some adult ladybugs beetles. These bugs lay eggs on the plants and the larvae feed on the aphids. In no time at all, the aphid problem is solved.

She orders the ladybugs by air freight from Ontario and keeps them in a cloth bag in a refrigerator until such time as they are needed.

Kim presently has orders for all of the hanging flower baskets for the Town of Melita and for the Town of Waskada. One business in Melita gets six dozen burgundy petunias each spring. The Melita Pool manager calls each

continued from page 3 spring. Kim plots out their planters and sends a planting plan for the girls to just pop them into the planters.

Kim makes sure she stays within their budget and avoids certain plants that may attract bees or require extra care, etc. She also plants some planters for the town of Waskada.

She is getting more and more custom planting each year and has started to get her clients pots back in the fall and then stores them for the winter. Others bring them to her early in the spring for her to plant early and keep until the clients are ready for them after the frosts have passed.

Kim also has clients who prefer to pre-order their vegetables before she starts transplanting so they can have six packs of six different plants if they choose or three red peppers and three green peppers or other mix and match combos; that way they can get exactly what they want with no extra cost for plants they will not want or use.

Kim also offers customized wedding flowers, baskets, planters, etc.

Over the years Kim has come to know who wants what, and usually has their order thought out even before they call. This also helps her to know if a client needs a certain amount of plants, for example if they need four dozen of a specific variety, then she can plant those plus extra so she will also have some to sell.

One of her favourite parts of the job is interacting with clients and making up baskets and pots for them. She loves to hear what kind of plants they may want or where the location of a particular basket or planter may be situated so she can then decide what plants to use. She enjoys seeing the pleasure on customers’ faces as they stroll through the greenhouse, trying to decide what plants to buy.

It truly brings her joy to see satisfied customers leave with their beautiful plants and a big smile! She tries to offer many different styles and varieties, and even a few small, low priced arrangements which a little boy/girl could purchase for their mum for Mother's Day, even if they only have a toonie or two! She says the look of happiness on their little faces makes it all worthwhile.

When I was at her greenhouse on April 20 to interview

Friday, May 15, 2015

A dream come true her for this article, I first took a tour through the greenhouses. The plants were healthy, lush and many in bloom.

They were displayed beautifully - I only wanted to take home two or three of everything! My morning there was all hands on. We transplanted tomatoes, filled some of the large hanging baskets for the Town of Melita and made up some fairy gardens.

These are new to Kim's business as of last year, and this spring, Dawn has made up a larger display of these unique fairy gardens. The fairy gardens are containers comprised of succulents being planted in the Pro-mix medium. Then a layer of small coloured stones covers the whole container, covering all the soil. Next, little decorative figures are added, such as snails, mushrooms, tiny hedgehogs and other animals, tiny cottages, etc. - anything your little heart desires! They are so pretty and so easy to look after as succulents are of the cacti family; requiring very little water.

Kim also offers a large variety of planters and containers. Some of these are a little more money to purchase, however, they are much more durable, and you will be able to use them for many years. They are also more attractive which is an added value.

New additions to the greenhouse this year are rose bushes, potentillas and a larger selection of herbs.

They also carry strawberry plants, seed potatoes and onion sets. Also new this year is that Dawn is offering fresh cut flower arrangements for special occasions. Kim states that she tries to ensure there is something different in both flowers and vegetables and tries to order a wide selection of planters to fit anyone's budget. There is always something new! She feels confident in being able to say her greenhouse literally has SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. If this article has enticed you to want to take a peak at the beautiful array of annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables, basket fillers, planters, shrubs or roses, Kim's Greenhouse has been open for business since May 1.

You will be met with a smile and a huge welcome. It is easy to see that Kim's dream has come true! She's finally in the greenhouse business and loving every minute of it.

Stoney Creek Greenhouse celebrates 20 years

by Dolores Caldwell Stoney Creek Greenhouse was born from the love of gardening of two farm women with green thumbs, north of Sinclair.

Connie McQuiston and Brenda Penner held the Grand Opening of Stoney Creek Greenhouse on May 12, 1995, making this the 20th anniversary of the thriving greenhouse.

"We decided to go into the greenhouse business together because we both had small greenhouses of our own. When the opportunity came up to buy the greenhouse business from Mayert's Highway Greenhouse, we thought why not go together and give it a try," explained McQuiston.

In 2004, Connie and Brenda packed up their plants and moved to Reston. April 1st of that year, they purchased Reston Greenhouse from Scott and Cheryl Stanley and served Reston and area from both their Sinclair and Reston locations. Connie and Brenda expanded their business that year by selling seed potatoes, garden seeds, trees and shrubs.

After a few years in Reston, Brenda decided to retire from the greenhouse business, leaving Connie to carry on.

Today, Stoney Creek Greenhouse still flourishes at 338 - 3rd Street. They opened for the season on Thursday, May 6, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. The greenhouse supplies customers with over 150 different variety of annuals, a good selection of perennials, assorted vegetables, basket stuffers, hanging baskets and planters. A service that Connie has continued with is catering to customer's specific needs by custom filling their planters and in some cases even delivering them.

Tress and shrubs arrived the beginning of May from Jeffries Nurseries and Van Stone Nurseries. Connie has seven varieties of rose bushes, five varieties of apple trees, plum trees, junipers, dogwoods, potentilla, double flowering plum, spireas, lilacs, cedars and a large assortment of maples, mountain ash, flowering crabs, Lindens

A royalty from the sale of each rose will be directed towards cancer projects across Canada that directly impact the lives of those living with cancer. See story more details. PHOTO/DOLORES CALDWELL weeping willow, clump birch and ornamental trees.

This year, Stoney Creek Greenhouse has garden seeds, onion sets and seed potatoes from Lindenbergs. Connie has supplied planters for the Town of Reston and supplies and plants flowers in the Reston Memorial Park.

New for this year, Connie is selling "Never Alone" roses. In partnership with the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association and the Canadian Football League Alumni Association. A royalty from the sale of each rose will be directed towards cancer projects across Canada that directly impact the lives of those living with cancer.

The rose is a continual bloomer and has shown great resilience. It will do extremely well planted or potted.

The Never Alone roseÊwill be a great way to let loved ones know that they’re Never Alone in the fight against cancer.

This spring, Connie's oldest daughter, Alisha Davidson, moved her hair salon, Blondie's Beauty Bar, to the front of the greenhouse building.

"I have been fortunate as my family helps out a lot.

Samantha Clark, by middle daughter, helps me at the greenhouse - transplanting, watering and selling," said McQuiston. "My youngest daughter, Jordan, is starting her business as a Registered Massage Therapist in the building, hopefully this summer."

With 20 years of experience, Stoney Creek Greenhouse can help you find that perfect plant for the right location in your yard, or if you prefer, drop off your baskets and planters and have them professionally filled. Connie welcomes your questions and will try her hardest to make your yard bloom. Her phone number is 204-851-2174.

Writer with Virden roots nominated for literary award

By Anne Davison Women donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come with a manual â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but a Virden-area journalist is up for an award for writing one.

Susan Hagan, daughter of Keith and Mary Anne of the Woodnorth district, was shortlisted in April for an Alberta Literary Award, the James H. Gray Award for short nonfiction.

Her essay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manuals on Being Woman,â&#x20AC;? was published in WestWord magazine in 2014.

Hagan has worked in newspapers and magazines in Western Canada and The Bahamas for more than 20 years.

Raised within minutes of Virden, Hagan attended school there, and went on to graduate from the University of Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Journalism in 1993.

In a phone interview the writer spoke of the good things that come with this level of recognition for her work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very big honour.â&#x20AC;?

It is also a door opener. All of the shortlisted authors have an opportunity to read publicly. She was looking forward to a reading in Calgary and spoke of the reading she had just finished at Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bookstore in Edmonton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get to meet more of your peers. It was very festive,â&#x20AC;? she said, admitting she enjoys the interaction and thrives on theatrical expression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterday the executive direct of the writers guild (Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Guild of Alberta) was quite impressed with my presentation. That goes back to the Virden Music & Arts Festival. I participated every year and looked forward to it.â&#x20AC;?

She confides: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really was my thing. Mother encouraged and helped me pursue this.â&#x20AC;?

Hagan has worked in journalism and editing with the Canadian Press, but she truly enjoys longer projects that she can sink her teeth into. She says she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sucked into a rabbit holeâ&#x20AC;? with the research required for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manuals on Being Womanâ&#x20AC;?.

Women gravitate to self improvement and are 75 percent of the readership of all the self-help manuals on the market. Haganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3,800 word essay explores this female tendency.

In her 3,800-word piece, Hagan examines ideas of feminine success from our past through to the present.

She explains, that women tend to be measured, and to measure themselves, by their job title and economic success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I argue in my article that is only one component.â&#x20AC;?

The author points out this is not realistic for the many unsung, hard-working women who are at their job because they have to be; meanwhile, others are absent from the workplace in order to raise their children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This wave of feminism says women have to be in the elite to be equal,â&#x20AC;? says Hagan wryly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The story I did was about why women have to fight for equality.â&#x20AC;?

Another of Haganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notable achievements is the founding of the Edmonton Story Slam Society, launched in February 2006. This grassroots organization, run by volunteers, offers unpublished storytellers five minutes of glory in front of a live audience, and they are judged.

The founderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Alison Hagan, also an English major and journalist, is now in charge of this project, and Susan continues to help On May 23, Hagan will be giving a presentation at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Words in 3Dâ&#x20AC;?, a Story Slam special event, a unique conference that connects writers, editors, publishers, and agents from across Canada.

Later that evening Hagan will attend the Alberta Literary Awards gala in Edmonton to find out if she won an award.

There are 24 Alberta authors nominated in eight categories; the jury read more than 150 submissions.

Hagan looks forward to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mum and dad are coming for the gala. They will either congratulate me or console me.â&#x20AC;?

Winner or not, Hagan is well grounded. True to her roots, Susan and her husband Scott left city life eight years ago and are raising their seven-year-old son on

their property in the Alberta foothills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last fall my dad gave us two of his horses.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re training them and enjoying them.â&#x20AC;? A former Vancouverite, she states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more at home in the country.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manuals on Being Womanâ&#x20AC;?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slice, just an appetizer, from Susan Haganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manuals on Being Womanâ&#x20AC;?, which was published in WestWord magazine in 2014.

Bertha Hunt strutted down Fifth Avenue alongside the 1929 Easter Parade in New York City, smoking a cigarette. This act of defiance normally would have branded her a whore. But our friends in media transformed this humble secretary into a hero. This is where we auction womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrative to the highest bidder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Torches of Freedom,â&#x20AC;? the headlines sang, based on a press release from the American Tobacco Company, from a little man who sat in the shadows pulling the levers of public psychology. Adman Edward Bernays creAt her home near Buck Lake in the Alberta foothills, Susan Hagan is astride ated the campaign to hook her horse, Soldier. women on cigarettes. Incidentally, Bernays, who never smoked, was Sigmund Freudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephew and Bertha Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss. A few men grew rich enough to dance on the moon because women equated smoking with equality and freedom.

How about a vegetable garden?

by Donna Anderson Would you like cheaper, fresher produce, more fresh air, exercise and less grass to mow in your yard? Well, the answer is quite simple. Grow a vegetable garden.

These days lots of people are complaining that they should get more exercise. Gardening can provide that!

You do not have to have a huge space to grow the essentials, and even if all you do is grow enough to eat it when it is in season, you still have big savings.

Consider a block of 12 feet by 12 feet, or the equivilent.

It can be any size really. Your rows do not have to be very far apart, possibly 14 inches. Once the plants fill out, they choke out many of the weeds. Some ideal vegetables to grow are green and yellow beans, onions, carrots, beets, lettuce, radishes, a double row of staked peas and a few

tomato plants, also staked or in cages. Bush cucumbers do not take up as much room as regular cucumbers and can be trained to climb up a trellis or fence. Many types of squash will climb also. Potatoes and corn take more room and you need at least 2 rows of corn for good pollination.

But start small, and if it is something that might work for you and you actually enjoy it, then you can always enlarge it another year, providing you have the space.

If you are on a farm, then space should be no problem.

If you are in town, it certainly could be a problem. If you are in town, do you really need all that grass? It is nice to have some lawn, children and pets need their space as well.

Get your kids involved, they can help plant the seeds, hoe and hand weed as well. It might be a break from

To Stake or Not to Stake

by Donna Anderson In the tomato world, that is often a looming question.

Many home gardeners have this question once it is time to transplant their tomato plants out into the garden. Do they really need to be staked or have cages put around them? The first thing you need to determine is whether the tomatoes are determinate or indeterminate. If they are determinate they will be shorter, bushier plants and do not require staking. However, they will still benefit from some support or cages. Determinate varieties are usually earlier to fruit and are more compact with limited vine growth. Their fruit ripens more evenly over a shorter period of time. Some examples are Roma's, Bush Beefsteak, Sub-Arctic, Celebrity, Primo Red and Tiny Tim. The indeterminate types are taller plants which usually require staking or cages. They produce tomatoes over

a longer perioid of time extending their harvest. Some examples are Big Beef, Lemon Boy, Brandywine, Beefmaster, Fantastic, Better Boy, Ultra Girl, Ultra Boy and Sweet Million.

There are other advantages of staking or cages. First of all, the plants are kept up off the ground. If they are allowed to fall over and lay on the ground, they are more prone to diseases, the fruit gets soiled and may stay moist, promoting rot. They will not ripen as evenly either. Staking them takes up less space in the garden as well. Another important advantage is air circulation. The plants are more upright and should be spaced at least 24 to 30 inches apart. Rows should be 36 - 48 inches apart.

Harvesting the fruit is easier when the plants are more upright as well. I feel the plants produce more fruit when they are staked or caged.

If you are using tomato cages, it is wise to anchor the cage with a sturdy rod or strong stick.

Once the plants get quite large and fill the cage, a high wind can still knock the whole cage and plant over, damaging the plant. The anchored rod prevents this. My rule of thumb is - just put cages on them all, at the time of transplanting, no matter what kind they are! Let's hope that we have a little more normal growing season this summer as well. That would make a great difference, too!

Visitor Centre not opening this season

By Terri Eger Tourists coming into Manitoba from the west on the TransCanada Highway will have to drive all the way to Brandon before being greeted by Travel Manitoba staff this summer. The Visitor Centre located on Number One Highway near Kirkella, MB will not be opened.

According to Colin Ferguson, President of Travel Manitoba, the Brandon Discovery Centre on 18th Street in Brandon will now greet visitors coming to the province from the west along this stretch of road.

“There are a number of reasons for the move and we felt that there was an opportunity to do something in Brandon,” he said.

While he didn’t have exact data on hand, Ferguson said the number of tourists stopping at the Kirkella location has been “decreasing.” He said that visitors will still be welcomed to the province “up the road” in the Brandon location.

“We regret that there will no longer be a centre open in that location but will continue to operate the centres in Boissevain and Russell,” he said.

“We believe we can provide the services as well or better through the Brandon office,” he said.

Travel Manitoba had been leasing space in the building from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation according to Ferguson. It was confirmed that the washroom facilities and grounds will still be maintained and available for use by the general public by this branch of the government.

The closure of the local centre is part of a larger restructuring initiative of Travel Manitoba which is relocating its head office to The Forks in Winnipeg.

“We have a completely renovated, technologically advanced building that we will be moving into,” he said.

“With 4.5 million people going through The Forks each year we felt it was a great opportunity for us to serve residents and non-residents at this location.

Tourism Initiatives Ferguson said the “Canada’s Heart… Beats” campaign being run by Travel Manitoba is seeing great success.

On April 28, a semi truck parked in the lot at the rear of Kirkella’s Visitor Centre is barely visible from the highway. Out front a provincial sign reads, “Bienvenue Manitoba Welcomes You,” but this summer, this rest stop, located 11 kms west of Elkhorn, with bathroom facilities, maps and other information about our province and area will not be open. Photo/Anne Davison “Manitoba is becoming a travel destination,” he said.

“There are a lot of visitors coming from southern Alberta and from the United States. In the current economy, the Canadian dollar makes it an attractive destination for people in the US.” The Canadian Tourism Commission made a decision about five years ago to refrain from advertising in the US market when the country’s economy was less strong, according to Ferguson.At this time the US was putting a lot of emphasis on tourism within its own country. Ferguson said that with the change in the economy it makes sense

to draw visitors from the south to Canada.

“Manitoba has great product. We have a lot of great things to offer and our return on investment for annual tourism expenditures is very strong,” he said.

Tourists to Manitoba are enjoying the natural splendor of the province taking in beluga whale and polar bear viewing excursions and going on hunting and fishing trips.

Fossil digs, museums and events and festivals are also attracting a lot of attention.

“There is something to do every day in our province.”

continued from page 17 On site in Carlyle, Nelson, has a variety of show homes to gain a better idea of the layout and what you might like for your home.

“They have a large inventory,” she stated. “There are hundreds of models available and more people need to take a look at them.”

A modular home, the buildings are sometimes referred to as trailers, but this is not what they are: “They have this stigma of being a trailer, but they’re not. They’re built exactly like a house, but are long and narrow for economical reasons. People need to come and see them to really understand. They can be shipped more easily and faster by utilizing length over width. Width means that there are restrictions when moving the building, it’s harder to move the wider it is.”

“They’re all turnkey ready as well. If you have your plumber and utilities lined up you can be living in your home in a matter of days. The sectional homes are about two weeks before they’re ready to go because they do have to be put together.”

“As factory built homes there’s no waste and no weathering that occurs as the house is being built. Often when you’re building a house it’s rained on throughout the process numerous times and it can be held up because of a contractor needing to wait on something. A factory built home has no delays and if there’s something that goes wrong in the factory they always have someone there to correct it. It’s efficient.”

Available from the Carlyle lot are Friendship Homes although, Nelson is able to deal with other locations who carry different units from other factories.

“There’s been a lot of demand for them,” Nelson explains.

This is because of the turnkey ready feature and that they are reasonably priced Nelson says.

“They’re brand new, everything in them is new and it’s built like a house, they’re designed to have a nice front and you can add a garage or deck to it,” Nelson said. “Singles range from $89,900 to $182,000 depend-

There are older houses out there for over $100,000, but with those you have to update plumbing and the electrical.”

“Sectionals, so two or more pieces, are $200,000 and up. Pricing for both singles and sectionals range depending on square footage, add-ons, and upgrades like having

all stainless steel appliances.”

“They really are a smart housing solution.”

Nelson said that the modular homes are increasingly becoming popular, especially in Estevan’s West Valley Village.

It’s springtime and the sun is shining

by Darci Semeschuk The snow is gone, it's a time of rebirth. When you feel the warm sun, see the grass growing and the leaves coming back to life, you get that warm feeling inside knowing that spring is here.

Planting, nurturing, creating a space that's yours alone, your garden. It's springtime and that is ever apparent when you stop at Sadler's Creekside Greenhouse in Souris, Manitoba.

Sadler's staff have been preparing for this very busy season for several months, working behind the scenes to be ready when you come looking for the perfect plant for your garden or flowers to decorate your yards.

Crystal Page managers the greenhouse and for her, work began in earnest at the beginning of March.

The Greenhouse opened officially April 13 and will stay open for about 12 weeks.

Sadler's is a seasonal business but they do make a big difference in the community. Shopping locally keeps people at home and additionally, they employ 13 staff members throughout the growing season.

There is a wide variety of gardening supplies including plants, trees, shrubs, hanging baskets, landscaping supplies and eco friendly lawn and garden supplies.

On May 1, the Province of Manitoba announced that nonessential pesticide use legislation is in effect. Nonessential pesticides include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and other chemical compounds used for the control of insects, fungi, weeds and other pests.

The terms nonessential or cosmetic pesticides refer to the application of lawn care pesticides for the purpose of making the lawn look better by killing weeds, insects and other pests.

For Sadler's, this ban has little consequence because

they already adhere to an eco friendly, kid friendly and pet friendly policy.

"We have a full section of eco friendly lawn and garden herbicides so you won't have a problem finding what you need," commented Page.

"We believe strongly on being a good environmental suitor so while we support the ban, we already comply."

In addition to gardening and lawn supplies, Sadler's also has a wide assortment of seeds and household giftware.

In other gardening news, Souris River Coloy has their hot house tomatoes ready for sale.

They are big, beautiful and delicious. For more information call the Colony at Elgin.

Gardening season is well underway in Souris, Manitoba. Got a green thumb? You'll find what you need right here.
