Little Annual Rock Classic Little Classic Rock Golf Tournament
submitted by Laura Williams Ladies “Little Rock Classic” 18th annual golf tournament was held on Saturday, August 22, with a total of 76 golfers participating. Due to the weather, we were only able to play 9 holes but we made the best of it and managed to complete a horse race in the rain! The best overall individual score was won by Jean Bussman and the best team score was won by Chelsea Vanrobaeys and Allie Wells. Our horse race winner was Noreen Johnston. Congrats to all the winners! We look forward to seeing everyone again next year, with hopes that the weather will cooperate! The overall success was due to the efforts of all the sponsors, participants, volunteers, clubhouse staff, and committee members. On behalf of the committee: Rosemary Sambrook, Nancy Nickel, Debbie Sambrook, Laura Williams, Chelsea Vanrobaeys, Darlene Astle, Dianne Kirkwood, Leslie Williams, Allie Wells, and Kristen Magnifico, we would like to extend a “big thank you” to the following individuals. To Gordie Maxwell and Ty Moffat for keeping the course in “awesome” shape; Clubhouse staff for an excellent meal; Janet Breemersch for her wonderful veggie basket; Keith Sambrook for doing the Friday night skins; Ted and Lexi Billeck for doing the inputting of scores, and the ladies (Annette Sunaert and Jane Adams) who ran the Loonie Club 50/50 contest. See you all next year! 2010 John Deere 9870STS

10 neat things about wasps by Dorothy Dobbie Pegasus Publications Inc., reprinted with permission 1. I walk alone. Contrary to what we may believe, most wasps are solitary, living alone in a hole in the ground. Many of these wasps lay their eggs in the larvae of other insects, providing the wasp larvae with a ready-to-eat meal and the host insect with a ready-made death warrant. Almost every insect is susceptible to hosting parisitoidal wasps. 2. That hole in the ground for a home. Some solitary wasps use their hole-in-the-ground home as a nest for their offspring. This group feeds their young with dead spiders, worms and caterpillars. 3. A house made of wood. Social wasps include the common yellow jacket that most of us have encountered one way or another. They are the ones that build the papery grey nests in trees. Their cousins, the European paper wasp and the bald-faced hornet, like to build under your eaves or in small voids. The construction material is wood which they chew, using their saliva to help the process. Some will add mud as well. 4. Feed me and I’ll quench your thirst. Adult wasps of the social variety basically feed on nectar and fruit because they cannot digest protein - that is, unless they get a little help from their offspring. The adults feed their larvae dead insects, earthworms and even garbage - and your dinner, if they get the chance. As a result, the larvae exude copious amounts of salivary substances which are slurped up by the adults because, it is believed, it helps them digest protein. 5. Females rule. Wasps store their sperm inside their bodies, then inject fertilizer in each individual egg. Female wasps can determine the sex of the next generation simply by deciding to fertilize or not to fertilize. Male eggs are not fertilized. Fertilized female wasps become queens that hibernate over winter and start the next generation in springtime. Most social wasps are infertile female wasps whose whole ovipositors (egg-laying tubes) have been converted to stingers. 6. Big and small. The largest wasp is the social Asian Giant, which is a nightmarish two inches (5 cm) long. The smallest is a solitary wasp that is only .008 inches (.08 mm) long. 7. The social set. The nasty little yellow jacket, the aggressive bald-faced hornet and the European paper wasps are the biggest nuisance in late summer. The yellow jacket is about the size of a honeybee, about one-half to three-quarters of an inch long, black with bright yellow markings. Nests can contain up to 5,000 workers. Hornets are bigger - about an inch long, dark in colour with lighter white or cream markings. Paper wasps are a little longer than yellow jackets and more slender. Colour can vary. 8. Getting rid of wasps. The best way is to find their nest and destroy it. Go after them in early morning or late evening when they have returned to the nest. Use a light as a decoy, and if one or two escape while you are trying to spray inside their home, they will fly toward the light rather than at you. Ground-dwelling social wasps are more difficult because their nests can be as much as a metre away from the opening. 9. Not such bad guys, after all. While most wasps are not good pollinators, having no hair on their bodies to collect pollen, wasps actually do more good than harm through their impact on other insects. The solitary parisitoidal wasps are busy laying eggs on insect bodies while others may be stinging spiders and caterpillars to death in order to haul them home for the family feed. 10. Living with wasps. Wasps are attracted to bright colours and sweet odours, including perfumes and colognes. Unlike bees, their stingers are not barbed so they can sting you over and over again. Your best bet is to remain calm around wasps, don’t wave your arms or make threatening moves, and forget killing them as under threat or dying they release a pheromone that alerts others in the vicinity, summoning them to come and attack. As for those fake paper nests - the jury is out on their effectiveness, but if you want to try one out, put it up in early spring when the queen is emerging form hibernation and deciding where to nest. And if you do get stung, wash the sting with soap and water, then apply ice, baking soda or meat tenderizer. Mr. Tomato swears by honey applied to the sting.

Local youth attend Blue Jays Camp Ten local young athletes attended the Honda Toronto Blue Jays Super Camp, In Brandon on August 12 and 13. They were coached by Toronto Alumni greats, Jesse Barfield, Duane Ward, Denis Boucher, and Rance Mulliniks, in batting, pitching, throwing, infield, and outfield. Even though the temperatures soared in the high 30s, all the boys had a great time, and learned a lot from some of baseball’s finest.

School Division prepares for new academic year by Glen Kirby Students at several schools in the Southwest Horizon School Division will notice improvements when they return to classes on September 9 - part of nearly $3.5 million in major repairs and general maintenance outlined in the Division’s 2015-2016 budget. “We’ve made quite a few upgrades across the Division,” says Superintendent Carolyn Cory. At Souris School, a $2.7 million dollar refurbishment of the building envelope is nearing completion, including a new roof, new exterior stonework and larger windows in approximately 30 classrooms used by early and middle-yearsí students. “Once we complete this project, I’m guessing that the school will be using 70% less energy than it did when first built in 1961,” says Division Operations Supervisor Glynn Warnica. Despite rain water seeping into several classrooms when the roof was under construction in late July, Warnica says the project is essentially on-schedule, adding that water-damaged interior ceilings and lights are being replaced through insurance. “Work is planned to finish in November, ” says Warnica. “There will be some interference with the day-to-day classes when the kids come back in September. The south wing will be 90% complete. The west wing will be farther behind but the project is going well.” Students at Pierson School will see a similar building envelope project start this fall, including roof repairs and updates to the exterior walls, funded through a $250,000 provincial grant program. The gymnasium has been equipped with new LED lighting, with assistance from Manitoba Hydro via the PowerSmart program. Currently, crews are re-doing the gymnasium change rooms, including new plumbing, tile and individual shower stalls. “We’re doing the same change room makeover at Wawanesa School,” says Warnica. “As part of a five-year plan, we are upgrading showers in several schools.” Waskada and Souris will see similar renovations. Waskada School got a fresh coat of interior paint this summer; the outside of Wawanesa School was painted; new lockers are being installed in the elementary wing at Souris School. Also in Souris, the former business education room is being repurposed into an art room, expected to be ready for the start of classes in September. Each year, the Division budgets approximately $200,000 for upgrades and renovations in addition to accessing funding for larger projects through the provincial government. “It’s never enough,” says Warnica. “Most of the schools were built before man first walked on the moon, before computers.” Cory says enrollment numbers across the Division are holding steady, with approximately 1500 students expected when classes resume on the Wednesday after the September long weekend. Teachers will return to work the day before. “We have a new principal in Waskada,” says Cory. “The previous principal has moved over to Wawanesa School as vice-principal.” Cory says the Division will also continue emphasizing restitution in the upcoming academic year - a program that encourages students to practice selfdiscipline as an important part of controlling behaviour. “We are hoping to expand the program this year to offer courses on restitution for parents, through the Parent Advisory Groups,” says Cory.

Odds & Ends
Five keys to establish winter wheat It’s the end of August and with the harvest of spring crops now underway, we head right in to seeding winter wheat. Good stand establishment is critical for winter survival and early spring vigour and producers need to consider the following factors when seeding this crop: • Winter wheat must be sown into stubble to reduce the risk of winterkill: • Standing stubble traps snow, keeping soil temperatures warm enough to allow the crop to over-winter. How you deal with residue from the previous crop will affect seedling establishment and winter survival. The snow-trapping ability of the stubble must be adequate, ex: tall enough and uniform across the field to trap a loose, insulating blanket of snow over the winter. • Residue must be managed so it doesn’t interfere with seeding operations and needs to be evenly distributed to allow good stand establishment and uniformity of crop development. • Take care to avoid excessive traffic on the field during harvesting as to keep from trampling down stubble. Canola stubble is an ideal choice but you can seed into other crop residue as long as there are enough stems of decent height to trap snow. • Be aware of Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) Insurance coverage on winter wheat related to seeding into eligible stubble. Contact your local MASC agent for full details. • Water can be a limiting factor in crop production and the trapped snow will melt and become available for crop use in the spring. Winter wheat must be seeded shallow, since deep seeding results in weak, spindly plants and can lead to winterkill, poor weed competition, later maturity and lower yield: • The crown will develop æ to one inch below the surface, so seed placement at that depth is ideal. Deep seeding means the plant has to expend extra energy to move that crown up. • Soils are cooler in the fall, and with less evaporation off the surface, light rains can soak into that top inch of soil and be accessed by the seed. As little as a third of an inch of rain is often enough to successfully establish winter wheat. • Soil moisture demand from the previous crop usually creates a dry seedbed, and seeding deeper does not necessarily get the seed into moisture. • Seeding rate should be 1.5 to 2.5 bushels per acre to achieve a target plant population of 20 to 30 plants per square foot. Information is available on the MAFRD website to calculate seeding rates by plant population: http://www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/production/seeding-by-plant-population.html Winter wheat must be seeded on time, ideally between August 25 and September 5: • Crop Insurance deadlines are Aug. 20 to Sept. 15, with reduced coverage to Sept. 20. • Seeding too early allows the crown to get too big and become more susceptible to freezing injury. • Seeding too late usually results in poorly established plants with lower potential for winter survival. We want plants to have a well-developed crown and about 3 leaves going into the winter. This year’s leaves and roots will die off, but the crown will survive to initiate new growth early next spring. Always use starter fertilizer with winter wheat: • Phosphorous is important for root growth, winter survival of the crown and recovery from winter injury. Generally, 30 to 40 lbs P2O5 is sufficient. • Do not seed-place nitrogen with winter wheat as the risk of winter injury is increased. Nitrogen can be side-banded or mid-row banded, or applied after seeding in fall or spring. • Potash can be applied as KCl; potassium assists with stem strength and chloride helps with disease resistance. • Apply sulphur according to soil test recommendations as it aids in production of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. If your winter wheat protein is low, despite adequate N fertilization, or if you have high S-using crops in rotation, then adding five to seven lbs of S per acre can help. Employ a proper weed management program in the fall: • It is important to control biennial and perennial weeds, either in the previous crop or before seeding, because they can be very competitive during establishment. • To eliminate the risk of Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus, volunteer spring or winter cereal plants must be completely controlled prior to seeding winter wheat. Fall-germinating winter annuals such as stinkweed, flixweed and shepherd’s purse can be controlled through the proper use of post-emergent herbicides in late fall. • By removing early weed competition, the result will be a well-established winter crop which has better ability to survive the winter. For more information on this topic, contact your local MAFRD office. Deloraine
In last week’s paper, in the “Summer Day Camp wraps up” article, Sam thanked Wayne Innes for driving the Handivan. It should have read Wayne Wilson. • • • The 18th annual Little Rock Classic was a success despite less than great weather. The tournament had an entry of 76 golfers and by all reports a good time was had by all. A big shout out to the organizing committee! • • • Just a heads up about the Deloraine-Winchester Swimming Pool. The last day will be Sunday, September 6. • • • Wasps. . .Wasps. . .Wasps. . .is there any end to them? Interestingly enough there is a “10 Neat Things About Wasps” article in this week’s issue. After being stung a couple of week’s ago I don’t have much love for these fierce flyers but they do serve a purpose. Apparently, the hot weather creates more wasps. Taz Stuart from Poulin’s Pest Control says they’ve taken twice as many calls about wasp nests than this time last year. “We’re at about 500 calls for actually going out and treating nests,” he says. Stuart says this may be a sign we could be in for an early fall. And that is why the wasps are preparing, they are looking for more high sugary and carbohydrate snacks. As well, maybe there are not enough flowers, not enough food sources for them, so you are seeing them look for alternative food. • • • The Farmer’s Market has been changing and growing this season. September 3, there will be a “Family Play in the Park Day” including bouncy castle, kid’s games, music; Chamber of Commerce serving pulled pork lunch; Deloraine Curling Club coffee and muffins and market vendors. This will be the last Farmer’s Market before school resumes so it’s a perfect time to have a family day in the Park! See ad in this week’s issue. • • • Another upcoming event is the annual “Cruisin’ For Cash” event. Total cash prizes for the 2015 event will be $1,500 and all proceeds will be going to the Deloraine Curling Club project. In case you haven’t participated in the Dice Run in the past, it’s basically like a Poker Derby, except instead of drawing cards to build a poker hand, you will roll five dice at each of the check stops. The highest cumulative roll wins $1,000. NEW for 2015 is the Cruisin’ For Ca$h ROAD RALLY, participating will be Free with your Dice Run registration. How it works: Cruise the Dice Run route and gather specific info/items, the more items/info you turn in at the end, the greater chance you’ll have at winning the $300 cash prize. Take a digital camera along as photos of specific things are sure to be included in the list of requirements. The ROAD RALLY can be done individually but we suggest loading up your vehicle with some friends and spend a few hours cruising around having some fun. Also NEW for 2015 is the High Roller event. Participants in the Dice Run will be rolling the dice at Ninette, Souris, Melita and Deloraine. .. new for this year is a cash prize of $50 to the participant that has the highest roll at each of the four locations.

Market Report by Bob Cey World stock markets d ecline on economic concerns ␣ Global equity markets fell sharply this week as result of global economic concerns, continued weakness in emerging markets, volatility in China’s stock market, and further declines in commodities prices. Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite fell sharply to end the week at an eighteen month low. A broad decline in financial and energy stocks reflected a steep drop in US crude prices which ended the week just above $40 a barrel. The materials sector was little changed as support from rising gold prices helped offset worries about base metals. Commodities continue to be hampered by weakening demand and by concerns about economic growth in China and the rest of the world. Severe volatility in China’s stock market contributed to an 11.5% loss for the Shanghai Composite index. Disappointing manufacturing data intensified worries about China’s economy

and slow global growth. The focus on China’s economy has intensified since the country’s surprise devaluation of its currency. Wall Street’s S&P 500 also retreated. Concerns about when the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, developments in China, commodities worries and the continuation of tepid second-quarter earnings put pressure on share prices. As the earnings season winds down, data points to a decrease in corporate profits over the quarter. The timing of the next

US interest rate increase remains uncertain although expectations of an increase in September 2015 declined as volatility in financial markets increased. Minutes of the Federal Reserve’s most recent policy setting meeting showed that while a September rate hike remains possible, many Fed officials are cautious about a rate increase this year. European markets lost ground on global economic concerns. While Greece worries dissipated as

OBITUARY THOMPSON Bernice Mae Thompson September 17, 1926 - August 11, 2015 With family by her side, Bernice Mae Thompson (Nestibo), of Deloraine, MB, widow of Gordon Thompson, passed away at the Reston Health Centre on August 11, 2015 at the age of 88. Funeral services were held on August 14, 2015 at Harvest Community Church in Deloraine with Pastor Greg Whyte officiating. Interment took place prior to the service at Goodlands Cemetery. Bernice was born at the home farm south of Goodlands on Friday, September 17, 1926, the fourth child of John and Sophie Nestibo (Haugo). She grew up on the farm and received her education at Croydon and Goodlands Schools. Even as a child Mom learned the value of hard work as there were always many chores to be done. Bernice married Gordon Thompson on October 5, 1946 and they spent most of their married life in Goodlands where Gordon was the Pool Elevator grain buyer. In 1975 after Gordon became ill and he retired, they moved to Brandon. Gordon passed away in 1977. A few years ago Bernice and her son Greg moved to Deloraine. Mom’s life work revolved around raising her children and “keeping the home fires burning”. She was our greatest supporter and cheerleader. Her door was always open to friends and family and she liked nothing better than to spend time with her sisters, her kids and grandchildren. She enjoyed travelling with family and especially with her son Greg. Her sense of humour was second to none and she loved to laugh. She had a quiet strength and faith in God that she shared with us and it sustained her through birth, life and death. She is the much loved mother of Annette (Dennis) Lomore, Calgary, AB, Faye (Wayne) White, Melita, Bev Tweed, Brandon, Rick (Michelle) Thompson, Bruderheim, AB, Greg Thompson, Deloraine, and Maureen (Ken) Mattsson, Meaford, ON. “Granny B” or “Grandma T” will also be missed forever by grandchildren Glenn Lomore, Christie Lomore (Doug Al-Maini) and children Amaranth & Lucas; Jessica (Scott) Beachell and children Charlie, Molly & Blake; Erin White (fiance Brett Malkoske); Jennifer (David) Perez and children Noah & Kahu; Charles Tweed (Candace Dupont); Matthew Tweed; Dana & Logan Thompson; and Keiren, Maeve & Bronwen Mattsson. Bernice is also survived by and will be dearly missed by her sisters Evelyn Cavers, Regina, SK and Frances (Howard) Edwards, Deloraine and sister-in-law Catherine Nestibo, Deloraine and by numerous nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Bernice was predeceased by her husband Gordon Thompson in 1977, her parents John and Sophia Nestibo, her brothers Theodore (Margaret), Sigurd, and Harold (Audrey), and brother-in-law Murray Cavers. She was predeceased by Gordon’s family Gus and Margaret Sundell, Les and Alice Thompson, Ernie and Jean Thompson, and Russell and Irene Wickham. The death of her dear granddaughter Meghan White on August 10, 2000 almost broke her heart. It gives us comfort to know that Mom and Meghan are now reunited forever. “Bless your little heart Mom.” Donations in Bernice’s memory may be given to the Meghan White Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o Brown Accounting, Melita, MB R0M 1L0 or to a charity of choice. Arrangements entrusted to Redpath Funeral Home, Melita. www.redpathfuneralhome.com.

Tips for a healthy school year Students are most likely to get sick when school starts because being at school put children’s immun e systems to the test. Young children who are in close proximity to others in large groups tend to spr ead organisms like bacteria and viruses that cause illness. Breaking the cycle can take some work but it ’s pos sible to make this a healthy school year. Encourage handwashing Frequent handwashing is a great way to prevent illness. Handwashing habits are essential for schoolaged children and should be taught as soon as possible. Children should wash their hands after they use the bathroom and before they eat. If they’ve been playing outside or have interacted with children who a re sick, handwashing can help remove some of the germs lingering on their hands. Antibacterial wipes ar e another option but they may not be as effective as washing hands with warm, soapy water. Stop (some) sharing Sharing develops good manners and can foster new friendships. But children should be discouraged from sharing food, drinks and other personal items. Once the item has been placed in a child’s mouth , it should not be shared. Take a sick day Rare is the student who will never come down with an illness. When kids get sick, keep them at home. Schools may have guidelines indicating when it is acceptable for children to return to school and it ’s important that parents adhere to those guidelines so illnesses cannot spread around the school. Promote adequate sleep and nutrition While adults may need between seven and nine hours of sleep a night, children often require more. Th e National Sleep Foundation recommends eight to 13 hours of sleep a night for school-aged children. Be gin adjusting sleep schedules during the latter part of summer vacation so that children can readjust to their regular sleep schedules. Parents also should feed kids nutritious diets consisting of a variety of foods. Avoid high-calorie junk foods, reserving such items only as special treats every so often. Donate cleaning supplies Some schools may be underfunded and may not have enough supplies to keep all of the classrooms and surfaces clean. Parents can help by donating cleaning wipes and sprays so that students and teachers can thrive in clean, healthy environments.
The Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program August update by Cassidy Howell Despite the tornadoes and heat waves that have taken place this past month, the Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program has not slowed down one bit. Although we only had one successful nest out of the three that nested, we are happy to say that we ended up with seven more burrowing owls to add to the population. On August 10, a team from the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, which included some of their veterinarian staff, came out to check up on our seven little burrowing owls. On this day they were all banded, weighed, checked overall body condition/appearance, and all had a small sample of blood taken. All of the young were very healthy! The blood samples that were taken were brought back to the Zoo and analyzed in the Conservation and Research lab. A blood sample is needed to determine the sex of the owl. Results showed that that we have six males and a single female in the group of seven owlets. At the end of every
season, we remove a select few of the young owls from each nest and hold them over winter for the next breeding season. On August 20, we trapped and transferred two young males and the one female from the group to the Zoo for overwintering. The owls will be intermixed with our other owls that did not nest or had nests that failed this year. We will repair and release after they nest next season. After August 26, all release owls will be on their own. We will continue weekly check-ups until October to confirm they have dispersed (left) the area. For the next month, they will continue hunting and building up their strength so they can embark on their long journey down to the Gulf of Mexico for the winter months. Down there, we hope they find an endless supply of insects and warm weather to keep them happy during the cold winter months in Manitoba. In the spring, we hope to see some of these owls return to Manitoba and start families of their own. As our field season is
coming to an end we would like to thank everyone who has kept up with the program or came out and visited us at one of our public outings with KoKo. If you are interested in supporting our program further we accept donations at our website. Any donation of $25 or more will receive a Burrowing Owl t-shirt. Our website is www.mborp.com. If you happen to see a burrow-
ing owl before they have migrated south, please contact Turtle Mountain Conservation District at 204-747-2530 or West Souris River Conservation District at 204-877-3020 or our direct Hoot Line at 204807-4668.

The Boissevain Recorder The Whitewater solution The access road to the Public Bird Viewing Area, on the south side of Whitewater Lake located west of Boissevain, has eroded away from the high water levels. In the 1980s and 90s Ducks Unlimited Canada, in a partnership with Manitoba Conservation, The Turtle Mountain Conservation District, and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, had invested more than two million dollars on enhancing the site. This included eight miles of dikes and 11 water control structures, which was to protect nesting areas and nearby farmland from flooding and ensure the permanency of water during years of drought. Flooding has eroded away the infrastructure which is disappearing into the depths of the water. The road is closed to vehicles and will soon be completely washed away. Ducks Unlimited is currently holding to a “no draining of wet- lands” policy, and is not supporting any draining of the lake. Whitewater has been a concern off and on for years. The latest outbreak started in 2010-11 with wet conditions, which saw farmland disappear to an alarming rate. With thousands of acres underwater, the main concern at this point is to get some of it out of the way, and to keep this from happening in the future.

Honouring Burgess family The Town of Minnedosa and Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce have partnered to honour and recognize the Burgess family for over 125 years as continuous business owners in the community. Five generations of the family operated the business continually from the late 1800s until earlier this year when Burgess Quality Foods was sold to the Kims. Such longevity for a small-town business being exclusively owned by the same family for such a period of time is a rare occurrence
Crossroads – This Week Shoal Lake paging new physicians Shoal Lake and area will be left without doctors later this fall unless efforts by the RM of Yellowhead and Prairie Mountain health to recruit new physicians are successful. The community was left reeling after two doctors tendered their resignations effective November 15. The two doctors had been residents of the area for over twenty years and the 3200 resident catchment area enjoyed stable medical and emergency services. If efforts to find new doctors by November aren’t successful, the Shoal Lake-Strathclair Health Centre’s emergency room will be closed indefinitely.

Maguire outlines key Conservative platform commitments submitted Conservative candidate Larry Maguire highlighted another successful week on the campaign trail. Maguire was excited to visit many communities, speak with voters, and hear positive feedback regarding Conservative campaign commitments made so far. Over the last week, lawn sign requests and offers to volunteer on the campaign have continued to pour in. “I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support our campaign has received. Running an election campaign is absolutely a team effort and day after day the growth of our team is fantastic. The positive response I am receiving about both our local campaign and national platform commitments has been overwhelming,” said Maguire. In the last week of the campaign, Prime Minister Harper announced that a reelected Conservative government would build on our record of supporting charitable giving and voluntarism by providing tax relief for service club memberships via the Charitable Donations Tax Credit. This new policy will help hundreds of thousands of service club members carry out important work in their communities. “Residents of Westman see everyday the work done by service clubs and the contributions made to our communities. I am proud of this commitment to provide tax relief for those who work so hard to give back and keep our communities strong,” said Maguire. The other major commitment made by the Conservatives during the past week was to reintroduce the important “Life Means Life” legislation if re-elected. This legislation would ensure that offenders who commit the most heinous crimes receive a life sentence with no chance for parole. “I am extremely proud of our Conservative record of cracking down on violent criminals and implementing important measures to ensure serious prison time for serious crimes,” said Maguire. “When speaking with the people of Westman, it is abundantly clear that people want to see the worst of the worst behind bars for good. The fact is that killers like Paul Bernardo and Clifford Olson should not get a chance to apply for parole and released after 25 years,” concluded Maguire. To get in touch with the Larry Maguire campaign, Westman residents can call Campaign HQ at 204-717-4001 or visit the office located at 2940 Victoria Avenue (previous CKX Building) in Brandon.
