Paying the Piper A behind the scenes look at a legendary wrestling “bad guy” by Vern May Under the glare of the spotlights and TV cameras, there was no superstar in professional wrestling history as engaging or as unpredictable as “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. Upon news of his sudden passing last week, many friends and fans were active online and in the media to share their remembrances of Piper as a performer and his i n f l u e n c e professionally. However, there’s a softer side to the Saskatoon-born professional wrestling Hall of Famer that few are discussing. Behind his carefully cultivated tough guy image, complete with the leather jacket to compliment his red and white plaid kilt, many never knew how he kept what truly mattered close to his heart. In the inside left breast zippered pocket of that jacket, Piper kept two items - one was his passport and the other was one that only a select
few ever got to see. In a clear plastic shield was a well-creased photo of his family - Roddy all smiles at the center of his wife and four children. We were sitting across the table from one another in Calgary in 2011 when he told me he wanted to show me something. He pulled out the photo and placed it in front of him on the table. He paused for a moment, his finger tracing the creases on the weathered photo. There was a momentary flicker in his eyes that told me that this was a photo that he had looked upon often during his travels, probably in airports, backstage in cavernous arenas, and in lonely hotel rooms - his motivation for the gruelling schedule and the neverending pace that he set for himself as a per former. “See this,” he started, his tone getting serious. “When I go to work, I do it for my kids. I’d kill for them if I have to … I just choose not to.” Few fans realize the risk that Piper was taking at the height of his
RIG REPORT
career from 1984 to 1986 when he was the most notorious villain in the sport of professional wrestling. Antagonizing not only fan favourites in the ring but also some of the most visible and iconic pop culture figures of the day including Cyndi Lauper and Mr. T, Piper was a hated man. His notoriety drew unwanted attention on his family, including from over-zealous fans who could not differentiate between the on-camera antics and the man born Roderick George Toombs. At the height of his villainy, Piper called police one night to identify that he had an unwanted person on his property. When he explained who he was and why this presented a threat to his family, the authorities laughed it off - it was just a ‘phony’ wrestler and they weren’t dispatching an officer. Taking his life in his own hands, Piper ventured out onto his acreage to address the problem directly. “Nobody died that night,” he told me. “But sometimes you need to break their spirit a little bit.”
His motivation to drive forward as a professional wrestler and as an actor was driven by his will to provide for his children in the best manner that he knew how - in bodies of work where his potential was limited only by his own drive and ambition. He wasn’t constrained to a nine to five lifestyle but instead driven to be the example for others to follow. During filming of reality series ‘World of Hurt’ he told his cast mates on the first day. “I only ask one thing of you - to work as hard as I do. Give me your heart, and you’re going to be successful here.” In fairness, Piper was well known for cutting a pace that was hard to follow. Whether on the microphone or in the ring, Roddy was out there to earn the biggest piece of the pie he could - talking people into arenas, raising their ire on television to get them out to the arenas. In 1982, while wrestling in the Carolinas, Piper was hospitalized for exhaustion for a week, the result of his gruelling pace. Upon his release
Vance Nevada (L) with Roddy Piper in 2011, “I told him ‘I can’t wear your Hall of Fame ring, I didn’t earn it.’ He leaned in just before the picture was shot and said ‘That’s okay champ, you’ll get yours soon enough anyway.’ PHOTO/SUBMITTED from hospital he worked even harder - credited by Jesse Ventura for working 91 days in a row on the road with the WWE without a day off at the peak of his career. It’s a pace that he has maintained even beyond his retirement - personal appearances, television interviews, film and movie projects. “I watched a lot of guys and when they’ve got a family as beautiful as yours, this is not a bad way to go,” he advised me as a mentor. “Get a good job, and then every summer tell mama and the kids, ‘I’m gonna go make the retirement money’. You
know going and getting [the money], and then bringing it home, because [the wrestling business] it’s really hard on the family.” As a fan and student of the game, I will certainly remember the lasting images of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper the per former and share those with the next generation of upcoming wrestlers and fans. But on a personal level, I will never forget Roddy Piper’s heart and his passion for his family and all those who he met in his travels that he came to watch over like extended members of his tightly knit flock.

Roddy Piper dead at 61 WWE Hall of Famer suffers cardiac arrest by Vern May “I’m a Canadian!,” Roddy Piper declared, whipping out his passport for the cast of the 2011 reality TV series World of Hurt. “I keep that on me at all times in case I need to get out of some place in a hurry!” The WWE Hall of Famer perished on Thursday night at his Hollywood home of an apparent cardiac arrest and was discovered on Friday. Launching his career in Winnipeg in 1973, at age 16, after training with local wrestler/promoter Tony Condello, wrestling his earliest matches in local community clubs. Before his 17th birthday, he had already secured a match with the Minneapolis-based AWA, opposing a young Ric Flair, at the Winnipeg Arena. The following year, he hit the road with stays in the Canadian Maritimes, Kansas, and Texas before landing his first big break in Los Angeles in 1976. In Los Angeles, cast as the antagonist for the first time in his career, Piper’s abilities on the microphone saw him rise to the top of the roster and led to his first invitation to appear for the WWWF (WWE) at Madison Square Garden in 1979. Piper continued his climb in Oregon, the Carolinas,
and Georgia before signing with the WWE at the launch of its national expansion in 1983. His notoriety was so great that he was pitted against Hulk Hogan in the main event of the very first WrestleMania, now a headliner only six years after his debut in the famed mecca of professional wrestling. Born in Saskatoon as Roderick Toombs, Piper was among the first wrestlers to cross over from sport to the big screen, launching a movie and television career in 1987. One of his biggest hits was in a lead role in John Carpenter’s sci-fi cult classic “They Live” in 1988. Over the years, Piper has appeared in more than 50 movies and television programs including guest appearances on Cold Case, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and had four projects currently in postproduction for upcoming release. “It was a thrill to be on set with him,” says fellow Manitoba wrestling alumni Vance Nevada. “You could see how well he could manipulate a situation even in front of camera without saying a word. He will forever be remembered as one of the best talkers and notorious villains in professional wrestling history.” Piper was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2007. He is survived by his wife Kitty and four children.
AG Notes Aphids can impact many different crops Aphids are very small insects that feed by introducing their mouth piercing parts into plant tissue, then sucking up plant sap. Right now, their presence is easily noticed on many different plants, including field crops. Their numbers can increase rapidly at this time of year, but can also decline dramati cally as they are prey to numerous natural preda tors. Soybean aphids Soybean aphids have just started to show up in a few fields in Central Manitoba. Levels are cur rently very low in fields where they have been found. When scouting your fields the economic threshold for soybean aphids is at least 250 aphids per plant on average, the population should still be increasing, and the plants would be in the beginning bloom to beginning seed growth stages. Soybean aphids do not overwinter in Manitoba. They are blown in, and we usually don’t detect soybean aphids in Manitoba until some point in July. Based on length of protection trials done in the United States, seed treatments containing insecticides likely won’t provide protection against soybean aphids in Manitoba, as the aphid population not be at effective levels by July. Regardless of seed treatment used, it is good to monitor soybeans for aphids at this time of year. Soybean growers are cautioned against treating sub-economic levels of soybean aphids, as natural enemies, once established, can sometimes cause aphid populations to plateau or decline. Aphids on Cereals The term cereal aphid is sometimes used as a generic term to describe the complex of aphids commonly found on cereals crops. When suf ficiently large populations develop, their feeding shrivels the growing kernels. Aphids also produce large amounts of honeydew that can promote fungi development on the plant. Monitor July through early August by checking 20 stems in five areas of a field to get a representative count. The economic threshold for aphids on cereals is an average of 12-15 aphids per stem prior to the soft dough stage. Current levels of these pests appear to be below the economic threshold at this time. Flax aphids Monitor aphids in flax from mid-July to midAugust. The economic threshold in flax is 2-3 aphids per plant at full bloom or 8 aphids per plant at the green boll stage. At the boll stage, count 20 plants randomly selected from well spaced parts of the field to get a representative sample. For more information on insect pest in crops contact your local MAFRD office.

Odds & Ends
Election call finds local candidates in-place by Glen Kirby The longest Federal election campaign in modern Canadian history began this week with candidates from three of the four main national parties ready to campaign in the Brandon-Souris riding. Leading up to last Sunday’s dropping of the writ, the Conservatives, Liberals and Green Parties had nominated their hopefuls. The NDP does not expect to put forward a candidate until the end of August. “We don’t have a nomination meeting set yet,” says Garnet Boyd, president of the Brandon-Souris NDP Riding Association. “I’m not too worried about getting anything out there right away. It’s still holiday time.” Melissa Wastasecoot is reportedly planning to vie for the local NDP nomination. Boyd says Wastasecoot is a single mother from Brandon who works as constituency assistant for Brandon East MLA Drew Caldwell. Incumbent Conservative candidate Larry Maguire wasted little time in kicking off his campaign, earning media attention with appearances in the riding. Maguire, a politician and farm activist from Elgin, was first elected in 1999, serving three terms as MLA in Arthur-Virden before moving to federal politics and capturing Brandon-Souris in the 2013 by-election to replace Merv Tweed. Jodi Wyman, a Brandon lawyer living in the riding since 1998, is carrying the Liberal colours. Wyman has an extensive history of volunteer work with the YWCA, Chamber of Commerce and Women’s Resource Centre, earning the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2003 for her contributions. David Neufeld will represent the Green Party. He is the manager of an organic greenhouse, market garden and guesthouse near Boissevain and active community volunteer. Neufeld also ran for the Greens in the 2013 by-election, finishing fourth. Brandon-Souris sprawls across the southwest corner of the province and has been won by Conservatives every time but once since being formed in 1953. The 2013 byelection proved exciting when Liberal challenger Rolf Dinsdale, whose father held the riding as a Tory for 30 years, came within 400 votes of unseating the Conservatives. The size of the riding changes slightly from the last election. Through redistribution, Brandon-Souris loses a portion of its northern edge to Dauphin-Swan RiverNeepawa and gains area to the east from Portage-Lisgar. Carberry and Rivers are no longer contained within Brandon-Souris but Pilot Mound and Holland are. The election will be held on October 19. Deloraine

The paramedics hired to work in the Prairie Mountain Health Region will primarily be located in Winnipegosis, Mafeking, Melita and Deloraine. • • • Swimming lessons have finished at the lake and started at the Deloraine Pool.

They came up with all sorts of fun and interesting activities to overcome those fears and before you knew it, the kids were swimming like nobody’s business. • • • The Deloraine Sr. Royals lost its semi final series against Boissevain when the Centennials won the fifth and deciding game 53.

Since releasing her first instrumental album at the tender age of 14, Sierra has been wowing audiences worldwide with her impressive fiddling as she breezes through numerous styles of music with stunning ease. Not resting on her laurels as a musician, she started writing songs and is now an accomplished singer/songwriter and guitarist with a pure, subtle, emotionally moving, smoky voice. Her folk-pop style has given her many opportunities such as opening for Paul McCartney, Kid Rock, Bon Jovi and performing at the Vancouver Winter Olympics as well as performing for the Queen. Her music has also been featured on many hit TV shows. March 16 will be our closing concert, featuring a Newfoundland pop/folk/roots duo featuring singer/ guitarist, “ ANDREW JAMES O’BRIEN” and singer, pianist, accordion player, known as “ FORTUNATE ONES.’ They have been endearing audiences with wide-eyed energy and pragmatic optimism since they connected by chance The bright yellow of never-ending sunflowers is replacing the fading yellow of canola fields.

Market Report by Robert Cey Markets recover after tentative start to week Canada’s stock market gained this week after recovering from a volatile start. A sharp decline in Ch ina’s stock market Monday put pressure on global share prices but most markets later recovered on economic data, interest rate sentiment and positive earnings news. China’s Shanghai stock index posted its biggest one-day drop since early 2007 on Monday, falling 8.5 %. The decline came despite recent government efforts to shore up the market. The latest swoon reignite d con cerns about the impact of falling share prices on the Chinese and global economy. Volatility later e ased, but the Chinese market lost 10% over the week. Because China is a major importer of commodities, the decline of the Shanghai index weighed on Canada’s energy and materials sectors. However, the Canadian market later benefitted from a mid-week rise in oil prices, positive quarterly earnings reports and US interest rate developments. The US Federal Reserve kept official interest rates at historic lows during its policy-setting meeti ng this week, signalling again that it intends to move cautiously. This benefitted both stock and bond marke ts. Many economists believe the Fed will begin raising rates in September and slowly after that. The cen tral bank said that while the economy and employment continue to improve, more progress on employment is required before rates begin moving upward. Low inflation is also contributing to the Fed’s reluctanc e to raise rates. US economic news was largely positive. The economy grew by 2.3% in the second quarter after 0.6% growth in the first quarter (revised upward from the previous 0.2% contraction). Durable goods order s pointed toward economic health in the current quarter as they increased 3.4% in June over May. Howev er, wage growth in the second quarter was anemic and consumer sentiment slipped in July. Canada’s economy continues to struggle. Gross domestic product contracted 0.2% in May from April, the fifth consecutive monthly decline. Interest rate news, US economic data and earnings reports helped Wall Street recover from an initial China-related decline. European markets were mixed, initially hurt by China and later encouraged by cor porate earnings and rate sentiment. In other news this week: • Canada’s economy will grow 1.6% this year, the Conference Board of Canada predicted. This was down from its previous forecast of 1.9%. What’s ahead next week: Canada • Monthly jobs data. • Purchasing managers indexes. • International trade data. • Building permits. US • Monthly jobs data. • Purchasing managers indexes. • Factory orders. • International trade data. • Personal income and consumption. • Construction spending.

Stay away from substations - Obey the d a n g e r signs Substations are part of the electrical distri bution system that delivers electricity to homes and businesses. Power companies fence the stations in order to protect the public from the equipment inside. Signs on the fence sur rounding a station warn of electrical danger and to stay out. Only people who have special pro tective equipment and training are allowed to work in a substation. If there is a substa -
tion in your neighbour hood, take time to explain to children that a substation is a danger ous place. Show them the Danger signs and explain the importance of staying clear. If a ball goes over the fence, never go into the sub station to retrieve it. Call Manitoba Hydro for assistance. Don’t fly kites near a substation or near any power line. Never, ever climb a substation fence. Substations are not rec reation areas. On occasion, vandals purposely cut and remove sections of Manitoba Hydro ground wires in substations and on hydro poles. In addi tion to the dangers of this activity, open gates or holes in fences can create an opportunity to access the hazards within a substation. If you spot a substa tion fence, ground wire on a hydro pole or equipment that has been tampered with, stay clear and report the haz ard immediately by calling 1 888 MB HYDRO (1-888-6249376).

Royals season comes to a close by Jake Weidenhamer After seizing a 2-0 series lead the Royals were unable to win a third game losing 2-1, 7-5, and 5-3. Every game in the series was very close either decided by 1 or 2 runs. The series featured great pitching by both sides and strong defence. It really was a struggle for either side to score runs. Although it is disappointing there is a bit of a silver lining. The seventh ranked team in the league finished just one game away from the league final. After all the ball games this year, the team finished with a record of 8 wins and just 3 losses at home. Mitch Olson was awarded league MVP and also won the League Batting title with a .432 batting average. The Royals would like to thank all of their fans and sponsors for their great support. Hope to see you all next year.
Olson named League MVP Mitch Olson of the Deloraine Royals Sr. baseball team has been named MVP of the South West Baseball League for 2015. He also holds the batting title for the year with a .432 average. Congratulations, Mitch. PHOTOS/JUDY WELLS

Crossroads this Week Milk run lives on The milk run lived on for another year, with cattle and horse people rolling into six one-day fairs. The series of six fairs began at Oak River July 12 followed by Strathclair, Shoal Lake, Hamiota, Harding and Oak Lake. The term “milk run” came from when mixed farms had milk cows that produced all the dairy products the family farm required plus provided cash income from cream sales. These cows had to be milked and cared for twice a day - hence the fair exhibitors would get up early, do chores, head to the fair and go home for the evening milking and repeat this process every day for six days. The “milk run” it was and is.
