A Healthy You submitted by Fran Dickinson This was the theme of SWB’S Convention held at Seniors for Seniors in Brandon, hosted by the Wheat City Local.

After words of welcome from Marg Senkbeil, Wheat City’s president, the morning session was conducted by Fran Dickinson, the SWB president.

Board members were introduced. With the Roll Call, $222.95 came in for “Coins for Change”.

Leanne Sprung, MAFRD Rep, enlightened us with an update on 4-H. There have been changes and it was so good to hear of them.

MWI president Donna Young, executive administrator Joni Swidnicki and regional rep Audrey Clark, each spoke of the ongoing work with the MWI Board and their part in it.

Vests and T-shirts can still be ordered through the MWI office.

President Fran praised the work of our Region’s members. With just 45 members in total the programs are still varied and informative, with some fun added.

The Education Reports, presented by the Broomhill Local, were done humourously in “skit” form. The “setting” was in the local cafe,

where the waitress in her apron with coffee pot in hand, inquired what the girls were up to. Over their coffee each highlighted, sometimes humorously, what was going on in the report they represented. Then they were off to get on with their day!

Clearwater conducted an inspiring “Celebration of Life” service which saw six names entered into the Regional Book of Remembrance.

Following lunch, Chris Heide with CAA, brought much information on travel and health insurance. He stressed how important it is to know what your coverage includes, before you travel Gail Cork, volunteer at the Assiniboine Hospital, provided us with info on what to bring if being placed in the Assiniboine Hospital or a Care Facility.

Melissa Peters, with Palliative Care, spoke about the importance of Advanced Care Planning.

It’s about conversations, decisions, talking with family or a proxy, having a Living Will, making your wishes known.

SPEAK UP. These speakers all pointed to a “Healthy You” but it’s all up to YOU. Audrey Clark, president-elect, conducted the

Grazing considerations for sensitive lands Andrea Bertholet, Farm Production Advisor, MAFRD Spring time is gen erally viewed as the time when the grazing system starts its new cycle. The first spring ‘green up’ tempts pro ducers to let the cows go. But it can cause major implications later on in the growing sea son.

Here are some considerations to think about as grazing begins this summer.

The spring growth is the time when the plants are setting up and pre paring for the upcoming growing season. This is when good management can have the greatest effect on production and length of the grazing season.

The rule of thumb is that pastures should not be grazed until the plants are at the four-leaf stage. At this point the plant has had enough time to pre pare the root system and have adequate leaf area to maintain growth throughout the summer.

Grazing prior to the four-leaf stage depletes those important root reserves and minimizes the leaf area available for photosynthesis and growth.

Grazing one week too early in the spring will sacrifice three weeks of grazing in the fall. This rule of thumb should be used on all types of native or tame grass pasture.

Riparian Areas A riparian area is the land between the water and the drier upland.

Spring is typically the

time when these water bodies are the fullest, making riparian areas most sensitive to early grazing. Excess mois ture increases the impacts of hoof action and water quality around sloughs, creeks and low lying areas. It is best to avoid grazing these areas too early.

When grazing riparian areas, grazing must be limited in duration and frequency to allow the plants time to recover.

Where possible, fence riparian areas separate from drier areas to man age appropriately.

Salinity Management Salinity is a water management issue.

Forages use more water than annuals and can be a good tool to manage saline areas.

Plant deep-rooted perennial forages such as alfalfa in recharge areas to use large quantities of soil moisture thereby pre venting excess water from moving into the water table. Soil testing can be done for salinity to aid in forage selec tion for planting. Plant salt tolerant perennial forages such as wheat grass or tall fescue in the saline area to encourage uptake of soil water despite the pres ence of salts. Salts will then be left below the rooting zone thereby improving the growing conditions for forages and crops. Grazing of these areas should be managed as riparian areas noted above.

Native Forages Native forages grow

very slowly in the spring. If they’re grazed before June 1, only about 60 per cent of the potential yield will be obtained since the majority of their growth occurs from late May to mid-June. Delaying the grazing of the native species till mid-June can increase the productivity of the native grasses by over 25 per cent.

Importance of Rest Forage plants need at least 30 growing days of rest in order to re-grow properly and replenish nutrient reserves. Don’t over graze; leave two to six inches of plant mate rial behind to ensure the plants continue to grow.

The more leaf area left behind the more pho tosynthetic material is available to replenish nutrient reserves. Over grazing is a function of timing and duration of grazing. It occurs when the plant is grazed before it has had ade quate time to recover from the previous graz ing.

Plan Ahead In the spring, most cattle are calving, which is the production phase where their nutritional

requirements are the highest. It is important to consider the require ments of the cattle as well as the requirements of the pasture. If using a sacrifice pasture early in the spring, ensure supplemental feed is provided to the cattle.

This will help alleviate some of the grazing pressure on the grasses and ensure cattle are having their nutritional requirements met. The same can be said if using stockpiled spring pastures. The growth left over from the pre vious year is very low in quality, thus requiring supplemental energy for the cattle. There are other options for early spring grazing such as winter cereals or early grass varieties such as crested wheat grass.

These practices require planning ahead. So this summer and fall, start thinking about your spring grazing manage ment plan for next year!

Odds & Ends

Nature Conservancy of Canada announces purchase of key habitat in Riding Mountain Natural Area Winnipeg, MB (May 14, 2015) - The Nature Conservancy of Canada in Manitoba has announced it has acquired two properties critical to wetland health in the province. The Blue Wing and Baydock sites are near the Riding Mountain National Park and together conserve over 600 acres (approximately 246 hectares), 166 of which are wetlands.

These wetlands areas are heavily used by waterfowl, including American wigeon, buffle head, mallard, gadwall, blue-winged teal, ring-necked duck and Canada goose as well as marsh wren. In the spring, the smaller wetlands are important for duck breeding.

The Blue Wing property was purchased from the late Mr. William (Bill) Nevistiuk. Nevistiuk was a long-time supporter of the Nature Conservancy of Canada and proud to have most of his properties protected by NCC at the time of his passing. Nevistiuk had a true passion for nature; he loved animals of all kinds and he could often be found planting new trees and caring for them on his properties.

These wetland conservation projects were made possible due to the generous support from the Government of Canada`s Natural Areas Conservation Program and funding provided through the United States’ North American Wetland Conservation Act (NAWCA).

Quotes: “My brother (Bill) always dreamed of conserving his lands. Even way back when, he loved nature and wildlife,” said Andrew Nevistiuk. “He always enjoyed the migration. The migratory flight went right over his property and he really enjoyed listening to them gather in the fall and waited for them to return in the spring.”

“The conservation and restoration of priority lands and wetlands in Manitoba must be a top priority, especially in the face of a changing climate”, says, Kevin Teneycke, Senior Director of Conservation with the Nature Conservancy of Canada in Manitoba. “Contact the Nature Conservancy of Canada if you’re interested in conserving private lands in Manitoba, through land sales, donations or easements.”

Facts: • Biologists estimate that more than 50% of wildlife species in North America rely on access to wetland habitat for at least part of their life cycle.

• Almost 35% of all rare, threatened and endangered species are dependent on wetlands.

• Wetlands store water which can help mitigate droughts, and they absorb and store excess water in areas prone to flooding and erosion.

• Wetlands have the potential to mitigate the impacts of climate change by tempering temperature extremes in a local area.

• Wetlands serve as natural water treatment systems.

• This project was funded as part of the Government of Canada’s National Conservation Program (NACP). The NACP is a unique public-private partnership led and managed by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). To date, $345 million has been invested in the NACP by the Government of Canada, with more than $400 million in matching contributions raised by NCC and its partners to secure our natural heritage. This includes $100 million announced in May 2014 under the National Conservation Plan to continue this program.

The Senior Royals Baseball team will play their league opener on Sunday, May 24 when they host the Reston Jays. Game time is 2:00 p.m. On Wednesday, May 27 they travel to Elkhorn for a 7:00 p.m. start and on Friday, May 29 it’s another home game against the Hamiota Red Sox, game time also at 7:00 p.m. Check out the Royals’ report by Jake Weidenhamer in this week’s issue for more information. And head to the Royals’ diamond to cheer on the home team.

As well, the Ladies Royelles have started practices and games will begin in mid-June. Stay posted for more.

• • • So, how was that for a May Long Weekend?!?

Environment Canada says temperatures reached new lows in Saskatchewan at -5.7° with the old record of -5° in 1949.

• • • The snow didn’t stop the lady golfers on Tuesday.

They were out in full force, enjoying their sport. . .so what if there were snow banks around, just made things more interesting.

• • • The Betty Gibson skipping team, under the direction of Ms Jenna Sambrook visited Deloraine School a couple of weeks ago. This was their second visit. This group is amazing! They work hard at their craft and it shows. Way to go Betty Gibson! Thanks for coming to Deloraine again!

• • • The town wide garage sales were busy by all reports. Garage salers are a hardy bunch and don’t let a bit of wind and rain bother them. And speaking of hardy, the minor ball players on Saturday endured some nasty weather too.

Fortunately, the games went on and the tournament got finished before the monsoon hit.

The girls’ tournament was to be held Sunday so it has been rescheduled to Sunday, May 31.

• • • “The RM of Deloraine-Winchester is sorry for the inconvenience caused by a miscalculation during construction at the water plant. An existing line was jeopardized and the town had to be put on to a boil water visor. It is hoped to have everything up and running and back to normal by Monday,” said Reeve Gord Weidenhamer.

• • • Larry Maguire brought very good news to the Lake Metigoshe Improvement Association on Wednesday, May 20. Mr. Maguire met with the LMIA and presented them with $1500 from the Celebrate Canada program. The monies are to be used to organize Canada Day activities. It is expected the Canada Day celebrations at Lake Metigoshe will attract many families from the region and over 250 residents and cottage owners will partake in activities.

“Our Government is proud to support Canada Day celebrations here in Lake Metigoshe and across the country,” said Maguire. “I encourage everyone to join me on July 1 to celebrate our great country and being Canadian. Let’s continue to build a better Canada, a country that our children and grandchildren will be proud of.”

• • • Springtime. . .a good time to sort through the house and organize. You may find some used books you no longer need. If that is the case, please consider donating them to the K-6 Student Council Used Book Sale which takes place May 28. You can drop off your (K-12 appropriate) books to the Deloraine School office.

Market Report

by Bob Cey This week I would like to share some interesting facts on housing in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The average price for a home in Saskatchewan is $297,000.

The average price for a home in Manitoba is $271,000.

If you were to buy an average home in Manitoba and had a 25 year mortgage with a 2.79% 5 year fixed rate, your monthly payment would be $1,253. An average home in Saskatchewan would be $1,373 per month.

Did you know?

If you are a first time home buyer you can withdraw up to $25,000 from your RSP for the down payment without paying income tax on the withdrawal. A first time home buyer also includes people who may have owned a home in the past but not during the last four years. The home buyers plan is designed to be paid back over 15 years with a one year grace period. It is a great way to buy your first home.

Stocks rebound toward week’s end Stock markets around the world were mixed this week amid concerns about the economy. Most markets rebounded later in the week.

Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite fell as it was hindered by global concerns, volatile oil prices and a decline in the financials sector. However, healthy firstquarter profits helped offset economic worries, and rising gold prices aided the materials sector.

Wall Street’s S&P 500 advanced slightly, reaching fresh record levels later in the week after initially being held back by economic news and subdued trading as the first-quarter earnings season winds down. Share prices were helped by an easing bond market sell-off and positive European economic news. Earnings have generally been better than expected. Instead of a predicted slide in corporate profits, data compiled by Bloomberg indicates earnings have risen slightly.

Investors focused on the health of the US economy and what it will mean to financial markets. Retail sales were unexpectedly flat in April over March, continuing the largely lacklustre pattern of the past five months.

Some analysts see this as an indication of slack consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. economic output. Meanwhile, industrial production fell for the fifth straight month. Many observers (Continued on Page 7)

Market Report (Continued from Page 6) believe concerns about economic strength and controlled inflation will prompt the Federal Reserve to delay raising interest rates until later this year, despite a healthy jobs market. Low rates have been cited as a major factor in the long-running equity market advance.

Eurozone gross domestic product grew 0.4% in the first quarter over the previous quarter and by 1.6% y-oy. It was the fastest pace of growth since the second quarter of 2013. The results sent European stock markets upward later in the week. They fell earlier on worries about Greece’s financial problems and concerns that a strengthening euro could negatively affect profits of European multinationals. The euro rose to its highest level against the US dollar since February.

A three-week global government bond sell-off abated toward week’s end. Investors have taken profits after a strong start to the year. The 10-year US treasury yield reached a six-month high (yields and prices move in opposite directions) and Eurozone government bonds have lost almost all their 2015 gains.

In other news this week: • Canadian manufacturing sales rose 2.9% on the heels of significant declines in the previous two months.

• Home sales in Canada increased 10% y-o-y in March and prices rose 9.5%, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association.

• China cut interest rates, announced plans to help local governments restructure debts and encouraged banks to lend more in an effort to stimulate slowing economic growth.

What’s ahead next week: Canada • Markets close Monday for national holiday • Consumer price index • Retail sales US • Federal Reserve minutes from April meeting • Consumer price index • Existing home sales, housing starts, building permits

Southwest Horizon Summer Literacy Program Southwest Horizon School Division is pleased to announce that they will be offering the Summer Literacy Program for the fourth consecutive year.

This program is offered once a week in each school to preschool and school aged children between the ages of three and nine. This program would not be a success if it were not for funding partners like RBC. RBC has provided a significant amount of funding to ensure the ongoing success of the program.

Their continued support is very much appreciated. Pictured: RBC Rep Terri DeBacker (L) presented Kevin Zabowski, Secretary-Treasurer for Southwest Horizon with a donation of $5,000. for the Summer Literacy Program.

OBITUARY

VANDENDORPE

Albert George Vandendorpe, 1931 - 2015 With love and great sadness in our hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved dad, grandfather and greatgrandfather Albert Vandendorpe.

Albert passed away May 1, 2015 at the Deloraine Health Centre with his children and dear friend by his bedside.

Albert leaves behind to cherish his memory, his chosen family Judy (Gary) Sanheim of Stony Mountain, Ron (Brenda) Vanmackelbergh of Melita, Linda (Barry) Hartel of Deloraine, Kathy (Don) Ginter of Morden, Gerry (Wendy) Vanmackelbergh of Medora, 11 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by siblings Alice LeRoux, Dorothy (Cliff) Truscott, Irene Mosset; inlaws Hilda (Harry) Teetaert, Alice Voth, Maurice (Louise) Dekeyser, Bill Dekeyser; and special friend Joan VanMackelberg and her family.

Albert left special memories with many nieces and nephews as well.

He was predeceased by his loving wife Herta, grandson Bradley, parents Gerard and Madeline, brother Norman and his wife Yvonne, in-laws Rene LeRoux, Henry Voth and Ilene Dekeyser.

Albert was the eldest of 5 children and was raised on the family farm in the RM of Winchester.

In 1968, he married Herta Vanmackelbergh and suddenly found himself a Dad to her 5 teen-aged children. Dad was a hard working man who always provided for his family first. Albert had many interests throughout his life that resulted in him meeting many new people and creating many great and lasting friendships. After his well earned retirement Dad became a frequent passenger on various bus tours.

One could often find him fully engrossed working on a jigsaw puzzle. He loved to play cards and often frequented the Legion Club and Mountview Centre. Fishing and hunting were passions of his and took up much of his leisure time. The Game and Fish Association held a special spot in his heart and he devoted many hours to it. He was a dedicated community supporter and aided the operation and improvement of local organizations in any way he could.

Albert will be missed greatly by his family and friends.

We, his family, were very fortunate to have had such a kind and loving father and friend.

A public graveside service was held May 7, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Deloraine Catholic Cemetery with Father Paul Bisson officiating. If friends so desire, donations may be made in memory of Albert to the Deloraine Ambulance Fund, c/o Deloraine Health Centre, Box 447, Deloraine, MB R0M 0M0 or to a charity of your choice.

• The RCMP Detachment, with the assistance of a couple staff members and one student, hammered the Baldur School in a floor hockey game 12-11.

The past week was National Road Safety Week with May 16th being the National Impaired

Driving Campaign. The members conducted a numbers of check stops that week and some people were charged with/ issued with fines for various offences. Which reminds me of a story: A policeman pulls over a vehicle for going thru a stop sign and the driver of the vehicle says, “But officer, I slowed down.” The officer trying to get his point across took out his night stick and started tapping the driver on the head. The driver, curious of what was going on asked, “Why you doing that”? The officer replied, “Do you want me to stop or slow down?”

Going through a stop sign is not only dangerous to you but to other people on the road and holds a fine of up to $673.65. So, please stop at all stop signs, both rural and in your small towns.

Members also took the time to visit the Kiddie Corner Daycare last week and the Nursery School and conducted presentations at both locations.

The children were excited and learned a lot about of our duty belts and Police vehicles. They also wondered if we wore our bullet proof vest to hold our pens and was asked the question that everyone wants to know, “Why do Policeman like donuts?” The only reply for the group of 4 year olds, “Because their good.”

Solutions & Substitutions

by Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, How do you remove foil that is stuck to an oven bottom?

Priti Dear Priti, While the following isn’t an instant solution; it is effective at removing foil without damaging the porcelain finish of your oven. In a cool oven, lay a hot, wet rag on the oven floor, leave for 20-30 mins.

Use a little liquid dish soap to lubricate the area and scrape the foil with a plastic scrub pad, plastic scraper, or a credit card. The foil will eventually burn off over time.

Extra Tips: On the subject of using a credit card to help with messes; here are a few other solutions for old credit cards. Use them to smooth caulk or grout, makes a good straight edge for measuring or drawing lines, use it to scrape an aquarium without scratching the glass, good foot scratcher.

Dear Reena, Do you have any tips for cleaning flocked vinyl tablecloths stained with coffee and other food stains?

Mary Dear Mary, Begin by checking whether the tablecloth is machine washable as many vinyl fabrics may be tossed into the washer and then air dried. Other options for cleaning: Scrub stains with non-bleach, non-gel tooth-

paste and a green scrubby pad or clean with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or make a paste of baking soda and water and scrub stains. Hand wash in the bathtub with heavy-duty laundry detergent.

Dear Reena, I have an old wooden table that has lost its shine.

What are the steps that I can take to bring back the brilliant luster? Thanks.

Bernard Dear Bernard, Wood is wonderful because it often has a second life to it, but we need to get to the next layer to make it shine. Clean the surface of the table with water and vinegar. Next polish the furniture with a soft buffing cloth and your choice of oil: Olive oil, English Oil, Danish Oil or Minwax Wipe-On Poly.

Feedback from Caring Reader Re: Water stain on dining room table Dear Reena, While I won’t discount the mayonnaise solution you offered (I have had no experience with it), I’d like to suggest that one of the commonest causes of this is a shellac finish, rather than a varnish or wax one, on the furniture.

Shellac, while it provides a lustrous sheen, is water-permeable, hence the use of coasters on the furniture.

Fortunately, the solution here is both quick and easy; rub

the area affected with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol. This will lift the water out, and erase the ring like magic. Of course, if that does not answer, then others, like the one you suggested, should be tried. The good side is; if it does not succeed, it does the finish no harm. I grew up with a house full of Ontario walnut furniture, back in the fifties. A family with three boys in residence, we learned how to do a lot of fixing.

John Best Tips for Perfect Rice • Always rinse rice before cooking to remove excess starch.

• Next put rice into a bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 15 minutes • Drain rice.

• Add rice to boiling water and add a few drops of lemon juice or cooking oil and a pinch of salt.

• Mix gently. Boil for 10 minutes. (may vary depending on stove temperature).

Strain and eat.
