20th anniversary of Farm Safety Day The Progressive Agriculture Safety Day celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. A Farm Safety Day was held in Deloraine on Wednesday, May 20, for the Grade 5 and 6 students of Deloraine School. Deloraine EMS (Bev Huys) organized this amazing event which is so beneficial. Pictured are the students, PHOTO/JUDY WELLS teachers, and volunteers.

Deloraine Farm Safety Day

by Judy Wells This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Progressive Agriculture Farm Safety Day. Here’s a brief history about the event from the Progressive Agriculture Farm Safety web site www.progressiveag.org “Many in agriculture know someone whose life has been affected by a farm-related injury or death. The statistics are sobering. Even more tragic is that these incidents could have been pre vented with a few simple safety precautions.

That’s why the Progressive Agriculture Foundation® is on a crusade to bring safety and health information to the farming communities who desperately need it.

At the heart of this effort is the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® program. This edu cational program provides training and resources for local communities to conduct one-day safety and health programs. Safety Days are designed to be age-appropriate, hands-on, fun, and safe for children.

Progressive Agriculture Safety Days are con ducted in the United States, Canada and the US Territories. In addition, the program is licensed in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.

The mission of the Progressive Agriculture Safety Days is simple - to provide education and training to make farm and ranch life safer and healthier for children and their communities.

To this end, Deloraine EMS have organized this event for the past several years. This year’s event was held in Deloraine on May 20 for the Grade 5 and 6 students.

There were seven safety stations including: • Drug Awareness • Making a First Aid Kit • Firearm Safety • Disability Awareness (Machinery Safety) • Sun Safety • Ambulance Dispatch • Hydro Safety A special shout out to Bev Huys, EMS; the pre senters, parent/family assistants, and the day’s

sponsors - Deloraine Curling Club, Debbie Norton, Warren and Kayla Monro, Vandaele Seeds Ltd., Kori and Darcy Nestibo, Deloraine Times & Star, Marvin and Mary Ellen Morrison, Morrison Agencies Ltd., Mann Family Farm Ltd., Linda Thom, Tim’s Backhoe Service, RBC Royal Bank, Simplicity Clothing & Accessories, Midwestern Redi-Mix, Paterson Grain, Kowal Auto, Hasselfield Drugs Ltd., TD Bank, Sunrise Credit Union, Boundary Co-op, Hoysun Chinese Restaurant, Sigrid De Kezel Professional Corporation, Ronald Vandaele, MNP, Morningstar Metal, Rendezvous Restaurant, Bunge, Simply Essential Mini Day Spa, D&M Motors, RM of Deloraine-Winchester, Olson Realty & General Insurance, CASA, Kirkwood Ag & Auto, Nestibo Agra.

The Safety Day was an excellent education and awareness opportunity for students and assistants alike. The students were eager participants and enjoyed the hands-on experience of several of the stations.

Munchkin Minutes submitted by Wee ‘R’ Special Daycare Welcome to the first of many monthly articles written about Wee ‘R’ Special Daycare. We wanted to do this to give the community an idea of what kind of things the children do in our care and the new things that happen at the Centre.

We have been spending a lot of time outside now that it has gotten nice out. We enjoy our playground and this year we actually planted our own little garden at the Centre and we are patiently waiting for it to grow. We also like to go out around Town, whether it is just for a walk or the one day we took a trip to the recy cling depot to see what they do there during Earth Week.

We also enjoyed making out Mother’s Day gifts for the special person in our life. This year we planted flowers for them and talked about all the great things they have done for us. We are all excited to start working on our Father’s

Day gifts and to talk about all the awesome things we do with our dads.

There has been some very exciting changes in the Daycare Centre. This spring we put up wall board around to protect our walls on the bottom and then it got a new paint job. It looks like a brand new Centre. We are also happy to announce that we got three new fish donated to us. We now have five fish friends. Their names are Fishy, Meme, Freedom, Rod, and Smiley.

The staff also enjoyed all the kind words received from the par ents and community members during Early Child Educator (ECE) Week at the end of April.

We also appreciate all the support we received when we did the lunch at Vandoorne’s sale a few weeks ago. Fundraisers like that help us to keep operating and purchase equipment and toys for the children.

We also appreciate when community mem-

bers think of us when they clean out their cupboards. One thing that we really need are sippy cups, so if you have any that you no longer use we would be happy to put them to good use!

Until next month The Munchkins at Wee ‘R’ Special.

St. Antoninus Catechism Program would like to extend a thank you to the following people: CWL K of C Father Paul Deacon Murray Audrey Van Steelandt Kathy Beernaert & Choir Yvonne Laval Sandy Gustafson Judy Wells and Deloraine Times & Star Alex Preston & Access TV Parents for their support and committment to the program.

Ten neat things about eagles LENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

ALTERNATIVE RV PARTS & SERVICE

204-728-4457 â&#x20AC;˘ info@lensrv.ca â&#x20AC;˘ www.lensrv.ca

by Dorothy Dobbie, Pegasus Publicatieons Inc, reprinted with permission 1. The eagle eye.

If you have an eagle eye, you might be able to spot a rabbit from the air as much as two miles away in your 40-to-250square-kilometre ter ritory. Eagles have tremendous eyesight, four to five times as accurate as that of humans.

Eagles are said to be able to see five colours.

2. Bald or golden.

Canadian eagles are generally bald eagles or golden eagles. The bald eagles are not really bald - they have white heads, necks and tails, along with blackishbrown wing feathers.

The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;baldâ&#x20AC;? is really a shortened form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;piebaldâ&#x20AC;?, meaning spotted or patchy. The golden eagles are not really golden, either.

They are solid brown with a touch of blonde or buff on their heads.

Golden eagles are the more aggressive of the two.

3. The big attraction.

Female eagles are bigger and heavier than their male counterparts.

The bald-headed eagle female is 4.5 to 6.5 kilograms in weight (10 to 14 pounds.), while the male is only 3.5 to 4.5 kg (7.7 to 9.4 pounds).

The golden female ranges from 3.6 to 6.7 kg (8 to 15 pounds) and the male 2.8 to 4.6 kg (6 to 10 pounds). Wing spans of both males and females are 7 to 8 feet and more.

4. Denizens of the wild.

Eagles like the wild and are not likely to be found hanging around your back yard or even your farm yard. They prefer wide open spaces of mountains and prairies or deeply cut can yons. They spend much of their day simply perching - males, 75 per cent of day; females, 85 per cent of day.

5. Survival of the fittest - or something.

Parents are monogamous, although if one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to the nest, the other will look for a replacement mate.

The females lay two to three eggs, three or four days apart, and they hatch in about 35 days.

The young are naked and helpless for 50 to

100 days. Sometimes the first hatchling will attack and kill the next one as it emerges - this without interference from the parents.

6. Battle of the titans.

Eagles are territorial and the invasion by another eagle may not be taken lightly. The female takes the lead in battle while the male works in tag team with her, chasing the invader away. Occasionally, two eagles will engage, locking talons high above the earth, then swinging each other like bolas in an earth-bound spiral.

Sometimes they will hang on all the way to the ground. The battles, though rare, are spec tacular. Have a look: w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / f w a t c h ? 3 v = WUV81ukrsHc 7. A ripe old age.

In the wild, eagles live about 37 years, but that can easily stretch to 50 in a protected environment.

Offspring reach their adult weight the first year. They take their first flight at 10-13 weeks after hatching, when downy feathers are replaced by juvenile feathers. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

reach maturity until they are four or five years old. The tail feathers of a bald eagle turn white at four years.

8. Staying in balance.

If an eagle loses a feather from one wing, it will drop a feather from the opposite wing.

9. The enemy.

Us. Eagles have no natural predators except for humans. Encroaching human civilization is the biggest threat. The birds collide with vehicles, power lines and wind turbines, accounting for 27 per cent of their deaths.

Electrocution accounts for 25 per cent.

Guns kill another 15 per cent and poisoning is responsible for six per cent.

10.

Symbol of America.

As most people know, American bald eagles are Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symbol.

They are often seen as a symbol of power and freedom.

Aboriginal people saw them as symbolizing bravery and the power of spirits. Bald eagles are protected in the Unites States by the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940, to prevent their extinction.

Are you informed about Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency alert system?

(NC) You can rest assured that in the occasion of a potentially lifethreatening event, a new emergency alert system is in place to keep you informed with the latest information. Called Alert Ready, the system is operated by The Weather Network and developed in partnership with federal, provincial and territorial emergency management officials, plus Environment Canada and the broadcast industry. It disseminates public awareness messages to television and radio audiences, keeping them aware of, and prepared for, emergencies.

On both television and radio, Alert Ready is designed to immediately notify you of pending trouble to give you enough time to protect yourself, your family and property.

Broadcasted alerts range from more common situations to less frequent, but equally as dangerous emergencies.

Here are some examples of the types of warnings broadcast through the system: â&#x20AC;˘ Natural disasters such as severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, earthquakes, flash

floods, tornados, etc. â&#x20AC;˘ Environmental emergencies such as air quality issues

OBITUARY HOWDEN Walter Scott Howden was born in Deloraine, MB on August 20, 1965 to Walter and Helen Howden.

Scott attended a Machining Course at Assiniboine Community College.

Scott married Elizabeth Holmes of Austin, on April 8, 1995. They had two sons William and Erik.

Scott had many different jobs during his lifetime. Every job that Scott did he gave 100%. He worked on the pipeline, building fertilizer plant across the prairies and at the grain elevator in Goodlands. Scott also farmed or ranched as he preferred to call it. Scott did a little grain farming but mostly raised cattle.

He was always willing to give a helping hand when called upon by neighbours or friends. Being a hard worker and wanting to support his family, when cattle farming was not so good, Scott worked in Alberta operating a tow tractor for 4 seasons. When he decided that he could no longer spend so much time away from his boys he found a local job working for Glen Forsyth driving truck in the oil field. Scott briefly worked for Weatherford installing well heads before he got what he called his dream job of working for EOG Resources. He enjoyed being able to be close to home and working with a great group of guys in the field.

Scottʼs greatest joy was spending time with his family, at home, on vacations or even just trips around the countryside. He was very proud of his boys in their accomplishments in their education and all that they did.

Scott will be sadly missed by his wife Liz, his two sons William and Erik, mother Helen, brother Doug and sister-in-law Rebecca, sister Elizabeth and brother-in-law Harold Pawluk, nephew Ryan, niece Catherine and extended family members.

Scott was predeceased by his father Walter Howden, mother-in-law Teena and father-in-law Garry Holmes.

A gravesdie service was held at the Goodlands Cemetery May 2, 2015.

The family wishes to thank all the doctors and nurses att the Health Science Centre, Cancer Care Manitoba and the Deloraine Medical Centre for the excellent care that Scott received during his illness. It made the difficult time in our lies a little easier.

Market Report

by Robert Cey This week I want to explain one of the most least understood and under-utilized insurance products and should be a part of a comprehensive financial plan.

First I want to explain what the majority of us already have and why you have it.

Everyone knows what life insurance is and most people will have it to cover debt obligations, create income for loved ones left behind or estate tax planning reasons.

Everyone knows what disability insurance is and that it is meant to replace monthly income in the case of injury that keeps you from working.

Everyone knows what commercial insurance is and that it protects us from loss such as fires, hail damage, vehicle accidents ect.

In 1983, there was a new kind of insurance started in South Africa by a Dr. Marius Barnard who recognized the financial hardship his patients and their families went through when they experienced such things as heart attacks, strokes and cancer, to name the three main things. He came up with a plan that is now used around the world. It is called critical illness protection. Critical illness protection is designed to pay a lump sum should you ever have the misfortune of having one of 23 health problems. The lump sum is paid out if a person survives 31 days after being diagnosed with one of the 23 conditions. There is one thing that makes critical illness stand out and I think is VERY important. You can design this protection to have all the premiums paid back to you if you do not make a claim in the first 15 years. On the other hand if you make a claim you can do what you want with the lump sum such as • Pay for the costs of the care and treatment; • Pay for recuperation aids; • Replace any lost income due to a decreasing ability to earn; or even • Fund for a change in lifestyle.

This week’s market news Stock markets around the world were mostly higher this week. North American markets advanced after trading in a relatively narrow range as investors digested US interest rate developments and economic data.

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 index continued to set fresh records and the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit its first record close in more than two months. Canada’s S&P/TSX advanced in a holiday-shortened week, buoyed by gains in the energy and financials sectors. European markets outperformed those in North America as a softening euro lifted hopes for exporting companies. Asian stocks gained, led by a strong advance in China that was fuelled by hopes for government stimulus to help spur economic growth.

US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Friday that the central bank remains ready to raise interest rates this year for the first time since 2006, and gradually thereafter. However, she indicated that a still-healing job market, disappointing economic growth and low inflation call for caution. Minutes of the Fed’s most recent meeting, released earlier in the week, indicated that an interest rate hike in June is highly unlikely. This contrasts to sentiment at the beginning of the year, when investors believed that a June increase was possible.

Tom Conroy master craftsman

by Judy Wells Tom Conroy has lived all his life in the Mountainside district of the beautiful Turtle Mountains. He has a a great appreciation for the land and trees and as such he farmed and operated a sawmill.

One could say he is a jack of all trades but more than that Conroy is a master of many crafts. He

Not So Very Long Ago

learned to weld as a young man and used that skill extensively in his work. He enjoys the challenge of taking an old piece of machinery apart and trans forming it back to its original condition.

Conroy has extensive knowledge about the trees in the area. He has worked with many types of trees in his woodworking and claims that local Ash and Elm are good sources while the local Oak doesn’t

keep its form.

There are many examples of Conroy’s wood working in his home and the homes of others. His latest creations are two amazing spinning wheels (see picture) which are gifts for his children.

Note: I’d like to thank Tom for his hospitality and showing us his many creations. Can’t wait to see what you make next.
