United Church hosts Tea, Bake Sale and Fashion Show by Judy Wells You just never know who might show up at the Deloraine United Church Fashion Show! This year, a mysterious person with blond hair, “Holstein” spotted pants, muck boots, blue sweater tied with rope, colourful scarf and a very ‘prominent’ nose. Hmm. Wonder who that could have been? A fashion show has been a delightful addition to the United Church’s annual Tea and Bake Sale. This idea was inspired by the Thrift Shop located in the church. This shop is a good place to shop for a variety of clothing, shoes, and accessories. It is open for business Thursday and Friday afternoons from 1:00 -4:00 p.m. Mary Ellen Morrison officially opened the Tea, Bake Sale and Fashion Show at 2:00 p.m. Those in attendance eagerly purchased goodies at the bake table and enjoyed a delicious piece of angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. The Fashion Show included several beautiful outfits, all like new. The ‘pin-stripe’ suit, ‘going out to dinner” outfit and mystery guest were highlights. Donna Todd gave the colour commentary for the models which included Clara Adams, Marilyn Stovin, Irene Smith, Rev. Gairns, Teresa Gairns, Fern Grierson and, of course,. . .the mystery guest. It was a most enjoyable way to spend a wintry afternoon.

Virden Empire-Advance Rabies cases spike in cattle “A bite from an infected animal is the most likely route of infection for our domestic livestock,” Dr. Roger Richard, a veterinarian at the Virden Animal Hospital said. “Cattle along with other farm livestock and pets contract rabies through contact with an infected animal’s saliva or blood.”
Ten neat things about how insects survive winter by Dorothy Dobbie, Pegasus Publications Inc., reprinted with permission 1. Die or pause? No, diapause. To survive the brutality of freezing winters, many insects enter a state of suspended animation known as diapause. This can occur at any stage of development from egg to pupa to even adulthood in some species. Metabolism essentially ceases and the entity condition persists until some natural event triggers renewal of development. The trigger could be light or temperature or some other factor that we haven’t yet identified. 2. Hidey-holes. Overwintering insects have all sorts of hideouts. Aphids like to lay their eggs in the scaly buds of woody plants. Tent caterpillars lay eggs in protected masses on tree branches, native ladybug hide out in herds under leaves and overwintering vegetation (the Asian one choose warm places such as your house). The evil emerald ash borer freezes solid tucked into the bark of the tree it is invading. 3. Snow bird insects. We all know about the monarch butterfly and its heroic flights between Northern climes and Mexico each fall, but did you know that some 50 species of the 5,200 species of dragonflies also go south? Strangely, we haven’t identified any Canadian species with this hedonistic habit yet. 4. Speaking of snow. Your mother told you not to eat the snow and unless you enjoy ingesting bugs, here’s one reason why. Snow fleas, otherwise known as springtails, although not technically insects, relish winter. You can see their dark blue bodies in the snow, looking for all the world like specks of pepper. They eat fungi, leaf litter, moss. 5. The good earth. Many insects bore into the earth to spend the winter in warm and cozy quarters that are heated
Deloraine
above freezing by the molten core of the earth. They might rest in the form of grubs or as larva ready to continue their nest stage as soon as spring comes. 6. Cocoon. May insects overwinter is snug cocoons behind shutters or behind mailboxes or under the eaves of your home. Others sleep in a chrysalis attached to some convenient location. 7. Just resting. Adult mosquitoes enter a state of quiescence - not quite as deep as diapause - resting in a sheltered place until its time to get active. Three of their development stages, however, are lived in water as egg, larva and pupa, and in cold climates these stages enter diapause, waiting for spring before continuing on their developmental journey. 8. Frozen bugs. Some insects just turn on the antifreeze, allowing their whole bodies to become little lumps of ice. These insects produce antifreeze proteins and glycerol - a sugary alcohol - that supercools their liquid parts to a solid state. Some can survive temperatures to -50 C or even lower. Freeze tolerant insects include many moths, butterflies, beetles, and wasps. 9. Wintering in water. Some insects, such as dragonfly nymphs, overwinter at the bottom of the pond, staying active in the water that is “heated” by the earth. If the pond freezes over completely, they may enter diapause to eke out the rest of the season, becoming reactivated in spring. 10. Summer bee, winter bee. Would you rather be a summer bee or a winter bee? And what is the difference? A summer bee lives four to six weeks, a winter bee lives four to six months. They survive in the hive eating honey. The bees congregate in a cluster shivering their flight muscles to generate heat to keep the hive and themselves warm.

by Judy Wells It was another amazing night of 4-H speeches at the Deloraine Community Club’s Communication Night on Monday, February 15. Senior member Jessica Goethals welcomed everyone and invited the Club to the front to recite the 4-H Pledge. Kenzie Edwards gave her Intermediate speech – “Oh, The Places You’ll Go”. Her speech was all about Dr. Seuss who attended Oxford University and then immigrated to the US after he got married and became a cartoonist. Twenty-seven publishers declined his first book in 1937. All his books were based on what was going on in the world at the time. Dr. Seuss had 40 children’s books published in 30 languages and each book contains life lessons written in a fun rhyming way. He has inspired kids and adults worldwide. Jessica Goethals delivered her senior speech - “A Trip Down Memory Lane” - a look back at her life so far. She began with what it is like to be a toddler and she joked that her Dad was really a 4-year-old trapped in a 50-year-old body. She went on to talk about how she loved riding the school bus, fun with her siblings and how she was so lucky to have school where she met her friends. As for the future, she hasn’t made any solid decisions but she hopes it’s as great as growing up has been. Her advice is to cherish the important people in your life. Briar Mills’ Intermediate speech was entitled “Nutrition & Sport”. She explained how to be prepared for sport from the inside out; about the right kinds of food and the need for variety, plus the importance of hydrating before, during and after exercise. Natalie Maguire presented her Junior speech - “My Dog Ellie”. Ellie is a miniature daschund who is very smart and easy to train. Natalie said her dog loves to sit in the sun and because she’s so small, she needs to wear sweaters and booties to go outdoors in the winter. Ellie has two toys - a ball and a duck that she thinks is her baby. In conclusion, Natalie strongly recommends people get a miniature daschund for a pet. “My Dream Vacation” was the title of Chelsea Hainsworth’s Intermediate speech. Australia is the “Land of Dreams” according to Chelsea. It

has the greatest sunrises and sunsets, warm weather, kangaroos, Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, and perfect surfing conditions. Her favourite activity was swimming with the dolphins and her favourite animal was the koala bear. In the end, though the alarm clock went off. . .and it was all a dream. Chelsea was very convincing that she had actually taken a trip to Australia. Savana Aitchison’s Junior speech was entitled “Bullying”. There are several types of bullying (physical, verbal, cyber) but they all hurt. Victims feel scared and alone and often don’t tell anyone about it. Bullies are often scared of something so they bully to hide their own feelings. Bullying can happen at any age and 83% of bullying occurs in groups. Bullying makes victims lose confidence, become physically or mentally sick and have nightmares. “I’d like to say just be kind to one another, stand up for others. It’s our differences that make us special and unique.” Julia Ginter’s Intermediate speech was entitled “How To Make Your Dreams Come True”. Julia explained this in 11 steps: 1. Dream it; 2. Do a reality check; 3. Do what you love; 4. Ask why; 5. Think things through; 6. It takes time; 7. Make it a routine; 8. Track your progress; 9. Stay motivated; 10. Believe in yourself; 11. Enjoy it! Ocean Lea’s Junior speech was entitled “My Blue Friend”. She spoke about her big noisy friend - her dog who is annoying, but she loves her anyway. “She’s more than a dog, she’s family.” She loves to chase things, often gets sprayed by skunks and even though she’s a large dog, she thinks she’s a lap dog. “I can’t wait to see if there will be more like her in the spring because she’s going to have puppies.” “Marvelous Marvel” was the title of Abigail Wilkinson’s Intermediate speech. Abi explained the MMU - Marvel Movie Universe starting with the infinity stones, the creation of super soldiers, Captain America who was the first Avenger right up to the more recent superhero - Iron Man. First year members give the Cloverbud speeches. Avery Aitchison gave a delightful rendition of Shel Silverstein’s “Hug O’ War”. Millie Wilkinson’s Cloverbud speech was called “You Gotta Eat Here”. Mil-
lie told about her favourite places to eat, including Tony Roma’s (best ribs ever), McDonald’s (which isn’t the greatest food but she likes it), Joe Beevers, A & W - where the “wings are da bomb” and a place in Africa. But most of all, she likes her Mom’s restaurant which is definitely one of her favourites! The judges for the evening were Doreen Cappelle, Karen Sunaert, Diana Breemersch, and Gary Bolduc. They convened to a different room to deliberate the winners. Both first and second place winners go on to Zones. Tasty snacks and refreshments were enjoyed. Diana Breemersch gave remarks on behalf of the judges. She congratulated everyone on doing a great job. “I had the opportunity to judge these members a few years ago and I am very impressed with their maturity. They really listened to suggestions from that time and improved,”
said Diana. A few suggestions offered: • Be passionate about your topic. “If you’re excited, we’ll be excited, too.” • Be confident, right from how you walk to the front. Walk with conviction and show that you are ready to be here. • Practice good eye contact. It keeps people engaged. • Know your speech well. Use speech cards. • Practice makes perfect. • Believe in yourself. “In conclusion, we really encourage the first and second place winners to go on to Zones. It’s a great experience and you can really learn from the other speakers”, concluded Diana. Results: Junior: 1st Savana Aitchison; 2nd Ocean Lea Intermediate: 1st Chelsea Hainsworth; 2nd Julia Ginter; Senior: 1st Jessica Goethals.

OBITUARY
KEENAN Arlene (Suzie) Gustafson
Arlene (Suzie) Gustafson, age 78, died January 21, 2016, her life cut short by too many years of smoking cigarettes. In the end, she wished she hadn’t and didn’t mind saying so. Suzie was born August 30, 1937 in Deloraine, MB (pop. 755) and grew up in humble circumstances in a family of eight on a dry land grain and cattle farm. When snowbound by a blizzard, her Dad would hitch the horses to a sleigh to give her and others a ride home from school. She learned to cook and can foods, and throughout her life she spurned prepared foods and instead sought out the freshest ingredients from local farmers. At age 17, she left the farm and studied to be a medical technologist, then moved west, stopping in Great Falls, Montana for an internship and eventually arriving in Spokane with her sister. Both of them quickly found work. There she met an older, handsome doctor, Hugh (Bud) C. Keenan, a general surgeon, and they married on June 2, 1972. Dr. Keenan relocated to the Wainwright Veterans Administration Hospital in Walla Walla, where his career flourished in large part due to the support and love of Suzie. Suzie is remembered as being a hard worker, in fact, the day of her marriage; she worked a full day at a Medical Center in Spokane and had a doctor friend fly her to Walla Walla for an evening ceremony. She was pragmatic, a quick thinker, and frugal with things. She loved to share her thoughts about current events. Generous, she chose carefully where to make charitable contributions, being mindful of those less fortunate. Suzie had no children of her own but she was ever loyal to the children and grandchildren of her husband, even after his death in 2009. Dr. Keenan had three children: Coleen O’Brien of Olga, Marny Gaylord of Eastsound and Daniel Keenan of Spokane, each of whom are forever grateful to Suzie for the good care and love for their Dad and the kindness shown toward them. She is survived by her sisters Millie McNerthney of Tacoma, Edith Klatt of Bremerton, Yvonne Shura of Hamilton, ON, and Thelma Corbett of Deloraine, MB. A memorial service is being planned for the springtime.

BRANDON, Man. (February 12, 2016) Assiniboine Community College (ACC) announced today that Portage la Prairie, Melita and Dauphin have been selected as the three locations to host the next rural rotating practical nursing sites. The college’s twoyear Practical Nursing program will start in Portage la Prairie in September 2016, Melita in January 2017 and Dauphin in September 2017. Each of the three programs will welcome 25 students. “We know there is high demand for skilled nurses across Manitoba,” said Karen Hargreaves, ACC’s Dean of Health & Human Services. “These rotating sites bring education opportunities directly to rural communities, connecting students to the training and education needed to succeed in the health care field.” A request for proposals to host rural rotating sites was issued in the fall of 2015 with the college receiving 11 submissions from communities. Proposals were evaluated based on criteria including labour market demand; health care partnerships, which primarily involve practicum placements for students; student demand; student experience and available facilities.

The Blues pulled even a couple of minutes later but Mitch Olson restored the one goal lead before the end of the period with assists going to Kelsey Sunaert and Brett Morrison. Deloraine pulled away in the second period with three unanswered goals coming from Justin Beernaert and Kelsey Sunaert with a pair. The Royals took a commanding 5-1 lead into the final frame and despite giving up one Hartney goal, skated away with the 5-2 win.
