MYJC closing for the season submitted by Emily Janssens, MYJC Youth Engagement Leader As summer begins to slowly wind down, so does the program at the Deloraine Manitoba Youth Job Centre (MYJC). As the Youth Engagement Leader, I would like to thank a number of people for their support throughout our successful season.

To begin with, a big thank you goes out to my sponsoring committee, RM of Deloraine Winchester Council, who have been very supportive of the MYJC Program. As well, many thanks are due to the numerous employers, both busi-

nesses and homeowners, who have placed job orders with the Centre this summer. Your participation in the job referral service provides youth and students in our community with the opportunity to gain work experience and an income. I would also like to thank all of the businesses and the community members for your participation at our events. The MYJC Program depends on the partnership with community members, and our success is due largely to you.

Thanks!

Last but not least, a huge thank you goes out to the students and youth who registered with the Centre. We hope that your job search continues to be successful! I would also like to thank my Odd Job Squad participants for all of their hard work and dedication during the events. Participating in Odd Job Squad events provided a great opportunity for the youth of the community not only to earn money but also to learn valuable skills that will benefit them in their future

employment efforts.

The MYJC office closes for the season on Friday August 21. We will re-open in May of 2016, so be sure to look for us in spring! If you have any last minute questions about the MYJC and its services, please don’t hesitate to call me at 204-747-3423. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Brandon Zone 2 hosts Search & Rescue exercise

by Judy Wells Brandon Zone 2 Civil Air Search & Rescue Association (CASARA) hosted the Western Exercise for 2015. These activities took place in Westman with several scenarios. Twelve aircraft, each with a fourperson crew gathered at McGill Municipal Airport (Brandon) and took off after receiving their instructions.

One of the aircraft was routed to the Deloraine Municipal Airport to refuel. This was a great opportunity for an interview with the crew which included Kevin Nickel, Brandon - pilot; Gord Foote, Brandon - navigator; Roger Liban, Brandon - spotter and Allan Fraser, Winnipeg spotter.

Fraser has been with S&R for 13 years as a spotter. His role is to spot possible targets and give directions to the pilot He’s been on many missions as far away as the Arctic Circle, west coast and northern Wisconsin.

“You could be gone a day, or you could be gone a week - when you leave you have to be prepared

for anything,” When asked what the munication.” said common thread through- ground crews and the biggest challenge as Fraser.

Roger Liban is a rela- out is definitely “com- base crew.

He says he’s been on navigator entails he said tively new member to munication”.

At the completion of several successful mis- it was “being organized, CASARA. He says it The exercise involved the exercise, a debriefing sions. He recalls one in using time well, paper takes team work and 12 planes with a 4-person was held along with a fun particular around Rankin work, and lots of com- good communication. A crew as well as 12 get together.

Inlet and Repulse Bay where they were looking for a downed plane. They located the plane but not the pilot at first. After a two day search they were very happy to locate the pilot who was walking.

He had only walked four and a half miles in two days and the nearest help was 17 miles away.

“He never would have made it. We were beyond excited to find him and, of course, he was extremely grateful,” said Fraser.

Gord Foote has been with CASARA for 15 years. He said it was exciting to take part in a big exercise such as this one.

“We train in our own zone all the time, so it’s good to be part of the Western exercise - to have the opportunity to train in the mountains is great. We learn from each other, it’s good to have Brandon Zone 2 Civil Air Search & Rescue Association (CASARA) hosted the Western Exercise for the information exchange 2015 on August 7 - 9. There were about a dozen plane crews involved in the exercise. One of the plane between the provinces,” crews were sent to Deloraine Municipal Airport to refuel.

Manitoba RCMP warn public about handgun replica phone cases On August 9, 2015, just after 2:00 pm, Selkirk RCMP responded to a call of a male observed on Grand Beach with what appeared to be a handgun tucked into the waistband of his shorts. Several officers from the Selkirk Detachment immediately responded to the call and attended the beach which was crowded with people on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Based on the information and details known at the time, officers

responded with all levels of intervention at their disposal, including rifles and non-lethal conducted energy weapons.

With the assistance of witnesses, the male was quickly located sitting on the beach surrounded by family, including children. Officers quickly determined the handgun in his waistband was in fact an iPhone case shaped to look like a real handgun.

This incident required

a level of response based on the assumption that the weapon was real, posing serious safety risks for everyone involved.

“Unfortunately some people do not realize the risks associated with openly carrying or displaying these replicas in a public space,” Sgt. Bert Paquet says. “Anyone who owns this type or similar devices should safely dispose of them immediately.”

After the 34-year-old

male from Winnipeg was questioned, the item was voluntarily turned over to Police for safe disposal. The male will not be charged with any offences.

“Obviously, members from the public expect the Police to respond to potential firearms or weapons calls quickly and accordingly,” Paquet says.

“While the individual knew this item to be a fake gun, our officers did not.”

RMs unite to solve Whitewater Lake challenge

by Judy Wells The Municipalities of Deloraine-Winchester and Boissevain-Morton have combined their efforts to solve the record high water levels on Whitewater Lake.

“No one has ever seen the Lake this high. It is at a peak historic level of 1633.5. There has been some evaporation this summer, however, a good rain would bring it right back to that level or higher,” said Gord Weidenhamer, Reeve of RM of DeloraineWinchester and chair of the combined committee.

Elmer McCallum, Councillor of RM of Boissevain-Morton is also on the committee.

The only way the lake levels go down is through evaporation, and so water has been spilling out onto farmland - an estimated 15,000 acres. This has been going on since 2011.

The lake also spills out into Medora Creek, down to Napinka and makes its way to the Souris River.

“We knew we had to come up with a plan.

Doing nothing isn’t an option. The plan is to have controlled outlets at Mile 122 (northeast corner of Whitewater Lake) and down Medora Creek. This would control water levels during peak times.It will be a long drawn out process and we will need Mother Nature’s help. The plan is to draw the lake down to 1628 level and maintain it there. In this way, we would be ready for a flash flood or whatever,” added Weidenhamer.

In the past Ducks Unlimited have done a tremendous amount of work and spent countless dollars at Whitewater Lake when the levels were low or nonexistent.

“I respect what DU has done in the past. We hope they will understand what we are trying to do,” said Weidenhamer.

The committee has met and talked with all the affected people downstream.

“They’ve accepted this proposal. They said they’d

rather see it and know it’s coming. In 2014, Medora people had never seen the creek at the level it was, which was threatening to affect the village. Making the water flow predictable, is beneficial for everyone,” said Weidenhamer.

It is hoped to use the Lake as a retention and bring stability. In this way it is also hoped to recoup all which has been lost, including Sexton Island (which is now under water) and the viewing area and boardwalk constructed by Manitoba Wildlife. The road leading to the viewing area is also washed out.

“My hat’s off to Conservation and Habitat.

We’d like to see them spend dollars upstream to prevent or slow down the water,” added Weidenhamer.

Water run-off from the Turtle Mountain makes up about 80% of the water going into WWL. The

remaining percentage is drainage.

In 2014, the RM of Deloraine-Winchester was vastly affected. The water was virtually backing into Deloraine on the north side and was almost unmanageable. The community was very fortunate to come out of it unscathed.

Weidenhamer says they have also met with other RMS including Two Borders which has been severely affected in recent years with overland flooding and infrastructure damage. At a recent task force management meeting it was agreed the area is two weeks away from a drought and two inches away from a flood.

Something must be done and relying on evaporation is not the answer. The memories from 2011 and 2014 will stay strong in this generation.

“There has been countless studies done on this problem. We’ve gone

FOR SALE Picnic Tables • $300 each Phone 204-522-5069

ahead with an environmental study and are prepared to take it to the licensing board. We will also be approaching the Provincial and Federal governments for solutions and dollars. We wish to keep this project as a local idea. It has been studied to death. I respect the farmers who have lived and farmed here all their lives - they know the nature of the Lake and what needs to be done. It’s really as simple as controls on culverts.

When the water drops, you can allow culverts to run at capacity,” concluded Weidenhamer.

The question then arises - who will control the flow? Will it be local government, Provincial government, Water S t e w a r d s h i p , Conservation?

This question and many others remain to be answered but there is progress. The most important ingredient is the will of the people who are affected by the excess water - those upstream and more especially those downstream.

It’s a very good place to start and the committee seems to have a good handle on it.

Selkirk RCMP seized an iPhone case that resembled a handgun AT Grand Beach, Sunday, August 9. After the 34 year-old male from Winnipeg was questioned, the item was voluntarily turned over to Police for safe disposal. The male will not be charged with any offences.

Royals to be inducted into Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame

by Judy Wells The Deloraine Royals 1975-1976 hockey team has been selected to be inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame. Though the application indicated the Deloraine Royals through the years, it was this year’s team that was selected.

“The members of that 1975-76 team wish to recognize the importance of all Royals’ teams over the years and want to acknowledge that they hope all Royals feel ownership with this award. We hope they can celebrate with us at the induction on October 3 at Canada Inns, Polo Park, Winnipeg. We consider this an inclusive community award,” said Bob Caldwell.

The 1975-76 Royals team won the Provincial championship as well as the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Challenge (the only year it was held).

In the Provincials, the Royals faced the highlyregarded Warroad Warriors who had won the Hardy Cup (national championship) the previous year.

“That series was as good of a series we every played.

We weren’t expected to win.

The rink was packed, there was a fun, great atmosphere,” said Caldwell.

In interviewing team members Bob Caldwell and Clark Tweed, I asked to what they attributed the great success of this team.

“Well, we had good, local players who were totally committed,” said Clark.

“Yeah, no one missed

Sunday practices at 10:00 a.m.,” added Caldwell.

In those days, much as it is today, one of the goals of many minor hockey players was to play for the Royals some day. And the minor hockey players were often called up to play for the Royals. The community built a strong minor hockey system which fed the senior team. This well run minor system exists to this day.

“Hockey Manitoba Hall of Famer Don Dietrich, who went on to have a long professional career with stops in Chicago and New Jersey, said his dream was not to play in the NHL but to play for the Royals. Local players such as NHLers Don, Dan Bonar, and Chris Nielsen all played games with the Royals. Many other junior players gained valuable experience with the Royals.

Players such as Bruce Stephens, Wayne Coxworth, Lyle Franklin, Gary Ewen, Danny Cassils, Don Morrison, Clark Tweed, and Dennis Olischefski were perennial all-stars and it was this crew that lead the Southwest All-stars in their game against the Polish National Team in 1974 in Deloraine.” (Taken from the nomination biography).

Caldwell and Clark also paid tribute to some of the organizing pioneers of the Royals including Ivan Wilson, Roy Clelland, Rollie Dietrich, and Doc Bonar.

And it wasn’t a bed of roses in the beginning years.

The Deloraine Royals joined the Southwest Manitoba

Hockey League in 1967 and for a few years they took a beating. Then things started to click.

“Guys got along well, we had fun and it all came together,” said Tweed. “It was a lot of fun. The whole town was behind us. The local fans would drive us to away games.”

In those days the rink was packed. They even recall at home games, beaver tails being tossed on the ice when the Royals scored.

It was an era where entertainment in the winter was at the rink especially in rural areas of the province. You have to remember there were only three TV channels at that time and no electronic devices. The place to be was at the rink and the Royals provided exciting hockey.

“The Royals played an entertaining style of hockey; in the era of the Broad Street Bullies, the Royals played a fast, skilled game which excited the fan base in numerous rinks.” (from the nomination) From 1972-1979 the Royals recorded an amazing record. In the early 1980’s they also experienced success at the league and provincial levels.

Their accomplishments during this time included: • Six straight SWHL championships from 19731979, including one undefeated season (75-76) • 1975 - Intermediate A finalists losing to Flin Flon in the fifth game • 1976 - Intermediate A champions and ManitobaSaskatchewan champs

• 1976 - Brandon Sun’s team of the year • 1977 - Intermediate A provincial champions • 1978 - Intermediate provincial champions • 1979 - Intermediate provincial champions • 1982 - Southwest Champs.

“It was a team of local players that inspired a town and the whole southwest corner for over a decade.

They played the game the way it is supposed to be played and it was always a “team first” organization.

Many of the successful junior players that emerged from Deloraine can trace their start to coaches who were Royals players from this era. Others contributed to player/coach development for Hockey Manitoba and Hockey Canada. From this group came ideas such as the Breakfast Club which is used in Deloraine and now is growing provincially and several were involved in the National Coach Mentorship Program which is a successful Hockey Canada initiative. Don Dietrich was recently inducted in the builder’s category of The Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame.” (from the nomination) In conclusion Caldwell and Tweed repeated that this award is to be considered inclusive - for all Royals teams from day 1 to now!

They sincerely hope many Royals and their fans will join them in celebrating this outstanding achievement on October 3 in Winnipeg.

Southwest Cougars Fall Camp

by Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars of the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League are less then five weeks from starting the 2015/2016 season. Hopefuls hoping to catch one of the 20 roster spots with the Cougars are invited to attend the Fall Camp the weekend of September 11 in Souris.

The Cougars will host their annual preseason tournament the following weekend with teams from the league converging for a fall tune-up.

Coach Dennis McNish will have his assistants Derek Moar, Cale Jefferies, and Dan Averill looking for Cougars to begin league play October 2 in Parkland. The Cougars home opener, slated for October 3 in Souris will have the Winnipeg Wild making their first visit to the Cougar den.

The Cougars have been busy putting a new dressing room together, painting the room white with red and black trim. Everyone is getting excited to see the finished room as the Cougars move to room 5 from room 2 with entrance through the hallway between the community hall and the dressing room. When the team takes to the ice they will be defending the south end of the Murray Arena. The room, when finished, will be a something the team will have Cougar Pride in there new den.

If you are looking for info on the Cougars, please visit the Cougar web site or contact any team official for registration info.

• • • You will notice in the Deloraine Pool Lifeguard picture that Ashton Bell is missing. She has an excellent reason as she is taking part in the IIHF Women’s High Performance Camp as part of Canada’s National Women’s U18 Team Selection Camp. Way to go, Ashton! Hope you had a great camp!

So the combines are rolling! Thank you to the caller (I’m not sure who it was) who called to tell me last week about harvesting along Bayview Road. Unfortunately I took a drive out there but all the machines were on the far side of the field. I had full intentions of getting back there but didn’t make it. Anyway, I do appreciate the call and it’s always exciting to learn harvest is started. To get the grain into the bin is the goal and now the producers are one step closer.

• • • It’s good to know the RMs of DeloraineWinchester and Boissevain-Morton are joining forces in finding a solution to the Whitewater Lake situation. It won’t be a quick fix and not everyone affected will be happy, but something has to be done. Hopefully for the future, the solutions today will prevent further flooding and loss of farmable land. See article for more.

• • • Good luck to the Oildome AAA Pee Wee team who are competing in the Western Canadians in BC this week. They lost in the finals at provincials to St. James but first and second place both advance. I was checking out the St. James roster and found Curtis Grieve, formerly of Lauder was the head coach, so there is a local connection to both Manitoba teams. Also, his two sons are on the team. Good luck to all!

• • • I enjoyed interviewing a Search & Rescue crew who landed at Deloraine Airport to refuel on Saturday, August 9. They were taking part in a Western Exercise which was hosted by the Brandon Zone 2 Civil Air Search & Rescue Association (CASARA). It was interesting to talk to them about Search & Rescue, and it turned out I knew people they knew. For instance, Gord Foote is married to Marcel and Audrey VanSteelandt’s daughter and Roger Liban is originally from Swan Lake and got his insurance from my Dad in Holland. It really is a small world after all.

• • • Southwest Showcase has an impressive line-up for the 2015-16 season. There will be seven shows this season - a tremendous bargain once again.

Lower harvest losses start with a drop pan submitted by Canola Council of Canada To make an improvement on canola harvest losses, it first helps to know the current loss situation. That requires a drop pan.

We know canola losses occur out the back of the combine. Are losses high enough to warrant the time spent to reduce them? They certainly will be for some combines and in some conditions.

“Combines could be throwing over 5 bu./ac. and growers may not even realize it because those seeds are so difficult to

see once they hit the ground,” says Angela Brackenreed, agronomy specialist for the Canola Council of Canada. “A pan is the best way to see these losses.”

Growers have a few pan options; there are pros and cons to every style, but any one of them is better than not measuring at all. They can buy or build a one-foot-square pan to mount on a stick held under the back of the combine. Deep sides will limit seed bounce out of the pan. They can toss a wide flat pan under the combine as it goes by. Or

they can buy a more elaborate pan that attaches to the belly of the combine and can be dropped from the cab. The advantage with this pan is that the combine operator can also measure harvest losses.

Brackenreed bought one of these to try out this fall.

“It works off an electromagnet bolted to the underside of the combine.

It runs off the cigarette lighter receptacle in the cab, and to drop the pan you just unplug the cord,” she says.

The first step when using any style ofpan is to

disengage the chaff spreader and straw chopper and move them out of the way. This allows straw, chaff and thrownover seeds to drop straight down over the pan.

Once the combine is fully engaged and working through a typical stretch of crop, drop the pan. When using the pan on a stick, move the pan into position upside down so it doesn’t gather any losses ahead of time. Then quickly flip it over and stop walking. This procedure provides the same result as throwing the pan.

Nothing official for hall/rink complex

by Judy Wells Two facilities in Deloraine are needing to be replaced, namely the community hall and the curling rink (ice surface for sure). This provides a unique challenge and opportunity.

Council and curling rink reps have had several meetings about the possibility of creating a complex to house both entities.

“The Municipality has appointed three members of Council and the curling club have appointed two members to sit on a committee to explore the feasibility of a complex,” said Municipality of Deloraine-Winchester CAO Pam Hainsworth.

“Today, Council passed a resolution to

proceed with soil testings on two sites: 1. The original curling rink site and adjacent area 2. Lots already owned by the Municipality at the fairgrounds; to see if either of these two sites can sustain a complex of this kind,” she added.

A fundraising committee has also been struck to raise money in general.

The Municipality wishes to assure the public there will be a chance for public input. In the event that Council decides to go ahead with a complex, the Municipality will have to borrow money, necessitating a public meeting.

“It’s all in the initial stage right now,” concluded Hainsworth.

Lower harvest losses start with a drop pan (Continued on Page 5) Remove straw and chaff from the sample, preserving only the seed. Measure the seed in the pan by weight or volume.

Calculate the loss based on one square foot. If the pan is two square feet, for example, divide the weight or volume by two to get the total for one square foot.

Here are a few scenarios: • If the cut width (straight cut or swathed) is

30 feet, the combine’s discharge width is five feet, and the canola seed loss per square foot is five grams, the yield loss out the back of the combine is 1.5-2 bu./ ac.

• If the loss for that same combine is 10 grams per square foot, the yield loss is over 3 bu./ac.

• If the same combine has a 40 foot header and the drop pan has 10 grams per square foot, the yield loss is

closer to 2.5 bu./ac.

To get more details and plug in specific numbers, download the Combine Seed Loss Guide. Go to www.canolawatch.org. This article includes a link to the

Guide. While at the site, The Canola Watch site has other articles to help reduce harvest losses, including “Five steps to prep for lower losses this harvest.”
