Deloraine-Winchester Community Hall demolished The week of October 26 was a rather somber one as Deloraine and area residents witnessed the demolition of the Deloraine-Winchester Community Hall. It was necessary as not one, but two contractors concluded the foundation was rotten due to moisture. The Municipality of Deloraine-Winchester checked out repair costs and were told it would cost approximately $700,000, so the decision was made to build a new one. “Council hopes that going forward the community will support fundraising for the new facility. A new plan will be in place shortly,” said Reeve Gord Weidenhamer. PHOTO/JUDY WELLS

Jenn More enjoying professional hockey by Judy Wells The hills are alive with the sound of “hockey”. That is the Swiss Alps and profes sional hockey player, Jenn More, is enjoying living and playing hockey in Switzerland. “I am enjoying Switzerland very much. I have done some hiking in the Alps and they are

awesome,” said More. More plays hockey with Ev Bomo Thun, a team in the Swiss Pro Women’s Hockey League. Her previous team was the University of Main Black Bears. All of More’s team mates are from Switzerland except her self and her roommate who hails from BC.

They are the only two imports this season. The league consists of six teams and the top four move on to playoffs. More expects they will make the playoffs, which go into March and April. “The professional hockey here is a lot different than playing at Maine (NCAA Division

1). It is a very different game and it has been a lot of fun so far”, added More. September 28, 2015, was a red-letter day for More. She scored her first professional hockey goal on that date, as well as adding two assists. Speaking of goals, More’s goals while being in Switzerland

include helping out the team and having fun. “Not a lot of people get the chance to play hockey and travel for seven months so I just want to make the best of it and have fun while I can”, says More. If you want to follow More’s hockey season, she encourages people to check out her blog -

www.jenniferjmore@blo gspot.ca In conclusion, More says she will be in Switzerland until April and then decide what the summer and next year entails. “Coming back to Europe to play for a second year is definitely an option I will keep in mind”, concluded More.

Hope Floats hosts Trivia Night by Judy Wells Fifty-two people (11 teams) got their ‘thinking caps’ on for the annual Hope Floats Trivia Night on October 24.

The Hope Floats team has been raising money for cancer research, education, and awareness for over 12 years. The first 10 years, the team raised money under

the Canadian Cancer Society umbrella by participating in the Relay For Life event at the Peace Garden. When that event ran its course, Hope Floats

Deloraine Community 4-H Club by Chelsea Hainsworth Deloraine Community 4-H Club held their October meeting and Halloween party on Thursday, October 22. Everyone dressed up in their Hallowe’en costumes for a great night of fun and games. Our night opened with the 4-H’ers playing Halloween telephone, bobbing for apples, and painting some pretty great looking pumpkins. We also got a chance to guess the weight of one of Goethals’ largest pumpkins. Congratulations to Brooklyn Crepeele who was the successful winner.

Thank you to the Goethals family for donating all the pumpkins for us to paint. We had lots of laughs and everyone enjoyed all the delicious snacks. After the games, we started our meeting with the Pledge, Motto, and attendance. The treasurer’s report was read and the Club discussed upcoming events for November and December. On November 13 there is a slumber party at Playtime in Brandon for all 4-H’ers;. This is open to anybody 6 and over. The slumber party goes from 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and the deadline to register is

November 6. Our next event will be a Bingo and Bake Sale, which is scheduled for Sunday, November 15, at 2:00 p.m., at the Mountview Centre in Deloraine and all members will meet at 1:00 p.m. for a quick meeting prior to the event. Everyone is invited to attend and it’s a chance to buy some delicious baking and spend the afternoon with us playing Bingo. In December a Christmas party is being planned for December 18 at Lake Adam. Activities will include tobogganing, wiener roast, and chocolate exchange.

URCHASES

decided to continue with its cause under the name of Hope Floats - Friends Fighting Cancer. The money raised by the team is usually divided three ways between the Deloraine Cancer Clinic, Brandon Radiation Centre, and Canadian Cancer Society. It was decided this year to add Ronald McDonald House. Back to the trivia. Team captain Lori Main researches the questions -30 questions per round, six rounds in total. Teams can be comprised of up to six members. The winning team at the end of six rounds wins $100, which has traditionally been given back to the cause. It’s a great time and invariably it has been proven the first answer is often the correct one. However, even knowing this, teams will banter over answers and many times, talk their way out of the correct answer. Lunch was available between the fourth and fifth rounds. It was another successful Trivia Night. Hope Floats was very appreciative of all who participated, with a special shout out to the two teams that travelled from Brandon. It’s all for a very good cause.

Also a heartfelt thank you to Marguerite Raes, who provided guidance this summer to our Green Team for ongoing maintenance of the park area.

Munchkin Minutes submitted by Wee ‘R’ Special Daycare Another month has flown by at the Daycare and we have been busy learning and exploring. This past month’s topics were health and nutrition where we learned about “good for you foods” and “sometimes treats”. We also learned about fall and made lots of colourful crafts and explored own and talked about the change we have noticed in the trees and yards or gardens. For Thanksgiving we had a traditional turkey feast complete with their own home made mini

pies! We are all gearing up for Hallowe’en now and talking about what we are dressing up as and what kind of treats we hope to get, we have made lots of spooky crafts and talked about being safe on Hallowe’en. The children are all very excited about the toys that have been donated to us recently. We have also received some pots and pans that everyone is excited to start using in our outdoor music area. This past week with the beginning of the demolition of the hall we

took a walk down to watch them work. The children loved watching the excavator break down the hall and sort the material, then load the truck and haul it away. We talked about how long they thought it will take to have it all cleaned up and how long until the new one gets built. A few of the children are sure the new hall will be built before they get to have breakfast with Santa otherwise he will have no place to eat hat day. Our parents have been busy fundraising again to help us purchase new items for the children and

the centre. You can now check us out on Facebook, we have started a page to keep everyone up to date on things happening in and around the center. Just search “Wee R Special Inc” and give us a like. And just to let everyone know, it is Wee R Specials’ 25th anniversary on November 1! Twentyfive years of helping families in Deloraine and surrounding area. There will be a celebration happening November 25, 2015. Well, that’s it for October. Until next month, the Munchkins are signing off!

Southwest Cougars fall to Eastman by Grant Moffatt The Cougars travelled to Beausejour on Friday night to face the undefeated Eastman Selects. The teams were tied at two after a period but Eastman used home ice advantage to score four unanswered goals in a 6-2 win. Saturday night, in the Interlake, the Cats fell 6-4 to the Interlake Lightning to see their record fall to 4-3-1 for nine points and 8th place in the league. Eastman opened the scoring 2 minutes into the game. Blake Jameson evened the score with a power play goal from Ben Hilhorst and McCullough Park at 7:42. The Selects regained the lead 40 seconds later only to have Brian Harris even the score from Dexter Dalgleish and Zach Wytnick at 15:32 The teams played a scoreless second period until the Selects scored the eventual game winner on the power play at 15:32 and scored an insurance goal 23 seconds later. The Selects were the better team on the night with a pair of third period goals for the 6-2 final. Rylan Rommelaeare turned aside 38 shots while the Cougars mustered 17 shots on the Select net. The Lightning struck first on Saturday night 4 minutes into the game. Jared Janke scored a shorthanded goal to even the score at the 7 minute mark. The Lightning struck again before the period ended for

The Lightning restored the lead at the 8 minute mark but the Cats evened the score when Jared Janke scored a power play marker from Garrett Sambrook and Brian Harris at 10:43. The Cougars thought they had evened the score but the goal was waved off

on a controversial penalty call late in the second. The Lightning regained the lead on the ensuing power play to end the second period with a 4-3 lead. Brian Harris then tied the score 8 minutes into the third from Jared Janke and Grady Hobbs with the man advantage. The Cougars kept firing the puck but couldn’t beat Nathan Cvar in the Lightning net as he turned aside 44 shots on the

night. The Lightning scored the game winner late in the third and then added an empty net marker for the 64 final. Brady Gordon turned aside 25 shots in the lose.

History of Halloween by Tyler Bugg It’s fair to believe that, thanks to the rampant commercialization that is making the holiday more akin to it’s December counterpart, that Halloween is a fairly recent devel opment, designed solely to sell candy, costumes, and horror movies. But the history of Halloween stretches back hundreds, if not thousands of years, and ties to pagan Roman and Celtic festivals and early Christianity. While many cultures have celebrations to commemorate the end of harvesting, the end of summer, and of the dead, there are three in particular that are cited as being the basis for Halloween as we know it: The Feast of Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruits and seeds; Parentalia, the Roman festival of the dead, and the Celtic festival Samhain, Old Irish for “summer’s end”. Samhain especially seems to influence many of the traditions of modern Halloween. As Christianity spread through the Celtic countries like Ireland, beliefs in old gods and spirits were still present, called “Aos Sí”, who, it was believed, would attack cattle and cause misfortune over the winter if not placated before hand. By the 19th century, Gealic and Welsh traditions also included bonfires and divination rituals to find out when people may be married or die, using apples and nuts. Christianity also had a major influence on Halloween, starting with the name. Halloween itself emerged around 1745, but the name is a contraction of “All Hallows’ Eve,” as November 1 is cele brated as All Hallows’ (or All Saints’) Day, with November 2 as All Soul’s Day. The tradition

of celebrating vigils the night before a major festival dates back to the very early church, and can still be seen today in Christmas and Easter. These three day’s together is known as “Allhallowtide,” when the memory of saints and the recently departed are honoured. And the Church also set the date, as originally All Saint’s was on May 13, but changed in 835 by Pope Gregory IV to November 1 where it has remained since. By the end of the 12th century, Allhallowtide had become a major event in the Christian calendar, with church bells rang through the day for the souls in purgatory, and criers dressed in black would ring a bell to call on “all good Christians to remember the poor souls”. Fires and candles would be lit through the night, either to ward of evil spirits or welcome the recently departed back home for one more night. In France it was believed that Halloween was the night when those buried in churchyards would rise for a “wild, hideous carnival”, called the “dans macabre”. After the Protestant Reformation, and the disavowal of purgatory and other “popish” traditions in Catholicism, Halloween became more about warding off the evil spirits, witches, and other otherworldly dangers. The tradition of Trick or Treating also may have come from the Celtic cultures. By the 16th century, “mum ming” and “guising” were becoming popular in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man, where people would go house to house wearing costumes or otherwise in disguise, singing songs or verses in exchange for food. This may have been a way of imitating the

Deloraine

feared spirits of Aos Sí, as those who didn’t give a treat would often find themselves the victim of pranks. Trick or treating may also have come from the 15th century Christian tradition of “souling”, where soul cakes would be baked and given to poor children, who in turn would pray for the dead. The first jack-o-lanterns also appeared at this time, with turnips and mangel-wurzel (also known as a mangold, mangel beet or field beet, usually used for animal fodder) being carved into grotesque faces to serve as a lantern for the guisers who would go through the town on this night. Eventually both mumming and jack-o-lanterns would spread to England, and from there to the United States and Canada, where the native pumpkin was used to carve, being larger and easier to carve. In England the traditional Halloween celebrations, such as bonfires, were replaced by Guy Fawkes Night on November 5. Halloween came to North America with immigrants, with the traditional Catholic ceremony being followed by Anglicans and Catholics that immigrated, but opposed by the really dull and boring Puritans (who also banned Christmas in Boston in the 1660s), but it wouldn’t be until the 19th century when millions of Irish and Scottish immigrants came to the United States that Halloween became more secular, and more widespread. By the early 1900s, Halloween had become a

major American holiday, celebrated from coast to coast by people of all social, cultural, and racial background. So, as we get ready for yet another night with the candy, the skulls and skeletons, ghosts and ghouls that roam the night, remember that while today Halloween is a mostly an excuse to get candy and dress up (and play pranks on people), the majority of the traditions were from a long time ago. THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: October 25: The outnumbered English army under King Henry V defeats the French at the Battle of Agincourt (1415). October 26 : Tombstone, Arizona, is the site of the most famous shootout in the American West, the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1881).

October 29: The first computer-to-computer link is made via ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet (1969). October 30: Orson Welles broadcasts the radio play of War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, causing mass panic in the United States (1938). October 31: “Never was so much owed by so many to so few”; The Battle of Britain ends, ensuring the Nazi’s will not invade the UK (1940).

Odds & Ends You may have heard about Ian Bos who recently completed his epic 5 month journey across Canada for hospice and palliative care. On May 21, Ian Bos began his cross-Canada walk for hospice and palliative care in tribute to the excellent care his father, Ted, received at the end of his life and to raise awareness and funds for palliative care. Carrying a 50 lb pack (“because people carry a heavy load at end of life”), and with the logistics and communication support of Nick Kootnikoff, Ian followed the TransCanada Highway through hamlets and metropolitan centres, visiting hospices, hospitals, meeting with people who were living their last days, families, volunteers, advocates, people working in palliative care and the media. He arrived at the “finish line” in Victoria, BC on October 26. Not all health centres in Manitoba or Canada have the option of palliative care for end of life. Fortunately in Deloraine we have an excellent palliative care program with trained and compassionate volunteers. Many people have appreciated this option. A shout out to the Deloraine and Area Palliative Care Program! • • • The Deloraine Royals senior hockey team will defend their Tiger Hills Hockey League title without 11 of their veteran players. Check out the article in this week’s paper. They host the Cartwright Clippers on October 31 at 8:00 p.m. See you at the rink. • • • Hope Floats hosted its annual Trivia Night last Saturday with 11 teams taking part. There were even two teams from Brandon who say they will be back because it was so much fun. See article for more. • • • Showcase featured “Hicktown” last Sunday and what a rockin’ country time it was! There is a local connection, too - two of the members of the sixmember band are cousins of JoAnn Bolduc’s - Brent Earle and Janice Beernaerts. This brother/sister duo have long been singing and entertaining in the Treherne area. Hopefully, we will get “Hicktown” back in Deloraine at another event before too long. Very enjoyable! • • • Next weekend, Saturday, November 7, it’s time for “Sisters of the Holy Rock” at the Deloraine School gym. You still have time to get your tickets, but don’t wait too long. . .the show will be here before you know it! It is a fundraiser for the Deloraine School music program. • • • Check out this week’s issue for “ M u n c h k i n Minutes” a newsletter from Wee ‘R’ Special Daycare, informing us of all their activities this past month. These wee people really do a lot of neat things around Town. A big shout out to the staff at the daycare for all you do! And it’s soon their 25th anniversary -stay tuned for festivities coming up on November 25.

Weekly Market Report by Bob Cey Central Bank devel opments push stock markets higher Stock markets in North America and around the world advanced, buoyed by a rally toward the end of the week. Hopes for more European central bank economic stimulus, a move by China to help its economy and US corporate profits were at the root of the advance. Canada’s stock market gained, but failed to keep pace with most global markets as it was affected by commodities volatility. The health care sector was pres sured by controversy surrounding a major Canadian international pharmaceutical company, whose shares plummeted on negative reports about the company’s business practices. The Bank of Canada modified its outlook for Canada’s economy, while holding the line on interest rates. It expects third-quarter growth of 2.5% y-o-y, on the heels of two consecutive negative quarters. This was an increase from its earlier forecast of 1.5%. However, the central bank reduced its fourthquarter outlook to 1.5% from 2.5%. It said the economy would grow just 1.1% this year, 2% in 2016 and 2.5% in 2017. Canadian financial markets took the Liberal Party’s federal election majority win in stride as markets rose moderately

immediately following the victory. Wall Street gains picked up later in the week on improving earnings and central bank developments. US corporate profits remain mixed as the third-quarter earnings season progresses, but are on track to be better than initially anticipated. Positive technology sector earnings helped the Nasdaq Composite outperform broader US indexes. European shares posted strong gains after the president of the European Central Bank hinted that more stimulus could be in the cards. Mario Draghi under scored current risks to the economy, indicating the central bank will reexamine “the degree of monetary policy accommodation” during its December meeting.

China’s central bank cut interest rates for the sixth time this year in the wake of a weak report on the economy. It also reduced bank reserve-requirement ratios to lower corporate financing costs and provide liquidity to the economy. GDP expanded 6.9% in the third quarter, slightly better than expected but the lowest growth since 2009. In other news this week: • Canadian inflation fell to 1% y-o-y in September, down from 1.3% in August, on declining gasoline prices. • Canadian retail sales rose by a greater-thanexpected 0.5% in August over July, the fourth consecutive month of gains. • The Canadian dollar fell against its US coun-

terpart on reduced economic forecasts. • Surveys of purchasing managers indicated a strong rebound in US manufacturing in October and better-thanexpected growth in eurozone business activity. • US homebuilder sentiment rose to a 10year high in October, signalling strength in the important housing sector of the economy. What’s ahead next week: Canada • GDP, August. US • Federal Reserve monetary policy announcement. • House prices, home sales. • Durable goods orders. • Consumer con fidence. • Personal income and consumption.

Southwest Showcase features “Hicktown” by Judy Wells The Deloraine Theatre was rockin’ to the music of “Hicktown” on Sunday, October 25. This show was the ‘Manitoba-grown’ country band’s first concert performance and the second installment of Southwest Showcase’s 2015-2016 concert series. The six-member band had its start in January 2013

and includes Brent Earle, Janice Beernaerts, Sylvie Dion, Jason Gates, Andy Chamberlain, and Kenneth Wettlaufer. “Hicktown” have performed in several Manitoba venues including many socials, the Austin Threshermen’s Reunion, Treherne summer events, Sandhills Casino, The North 40 and many more.

As their popularity grows, their bookings grow as well. It is fortunate that Showcase booked them as part of its series. Note: There is a local connection with the band Brent Earle and Janice Beernaerts are JoAnn Bolduc’s cousins. They are also Bud Country Talent Search finalists from the early 90s.

Winter tire low-interest financing program continues this year October 19, 2015 Driven by positive response from Manitobans, the province’s winter tire low-interest financing program will once again be offered to vehicle owners. To date, more than 30,000 Manitobans have taken advantage of the program, which was first introduced by the provincial government last fall and administered by Manitoba Public Insurance. “The safety benefits of winter tires are well docu-

mented and this positive response confirms that many Manitoba vehicle owners have made road safety a priority,” said Gord Mackintosh, minister responsible for Manitoba Public Insurance. “The purpose of this low-interest winter tire financing program is to allow Manitobans, who otherwise might not be financially able to do so, to equip their vehicles with winter tires.” The program provides loans to a maximum of

$2,000 per vehicle for up to 48 months at prime plus two per cent. “Loss prevention programs ultimately benefit all of our customers through reduced claims costs,” said Ward Keith, vice-president, Business Development & Communications and chief product officer, Manitoba Public Insurance. “A vehicle equipped with winter tires helps the driver avoid collisions by reducing braking distances on ice and snow.”

Trick-or-treating doesn’t have to be scary Five habits for a Safe Halloween Children across Canada are set to transform into their favourite characters and head out to fill their Halloween treat bags this weekend. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection encourages parents to make safety a part of the Halloween preparations, as trick-ortreating can be a great platform help build children’s safety competence and confidence. Five Habits for a Safe Halloween is a great resource for parents to review strategies with

kids of all ages to help keep them safe throughout their Halloween activities. These habits include making a trick-or-treat route plan together with your child even if you will be with them, creating direct or in-direct supervision through check-in points as well as the buddy system. “These safety habits are easy to implement into your family’s Halloween routine and create a safety foundation that you can build on year by year as children become more independent,” says Noni Classen, Director of Education at the Canadian

Centre. “Halloween is a great time to discuss some of the real world situations children may face and build up their safety competence.” Five Habits for a Safe Halloween has been adapted from the Canadian Centre’s Safety Habits For Life. By promoting these personal safety skills, parents are setting the foundation for Halloween and other situations involving increasing independence to remain safe and fun. For more information and agespecific resources visit www.kidsintheknow.ca

Recently, CAA Manitoba conducted a survey with its membership, asking about the importance of using winter tires. “Our members consistently agree that winter tires are an important road safety tool for a Manitoba winter, but less than 50 per cent own them, citing cost as the number one reason why not,” said Mike Mager, president and CEO of CAA Manitoba. “This low interest financing program is a great step to help those who want winter tires afford them.” Quick Facts: • At temperatures just below freezing on dry pavement, winter tires have been shown to reduce stopping distances by as much as 30 per cent compared with all-season tires. • Winter tires offer significantly better traction on snow-covered or icy road surfaces at temperatures well below -30°C than allseason tires have at 4°C. Customers interested in participating in the program are encouraged to visit www.mpi.mb.ca/ for more information on who qualifies, participating winter tire retailers throughout Manitoba, and other details relating to the program.

Laser surgery equipment unveiled in Brandon

BUSINESS DIRECTORY

PMH News Release Brandon ophthalmologist and Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) have partnered to introduce an innovative piece of laser surgery equipment, which is being used in cataract surgery procedures at Brandon Regional Health Centre (BRHC). Dr. Guillermo Rocha is the first physician in Manitoba to use the ultrafast and precise laser which prepares the eye for cataract surgery and the cornea for transplantation. Dr. Rocha says the Victus Femtosecond Laser Platform will add additional levels of precision, efficiency and safety for cataract surgery and corneal procedures. “Right now, this is the only equipment of its type being used in the province. Now that we have this capability we are able to use this laser light to assist cataract surgeries on candidates that are best-suited for it. In essence, we do 45-50 per cent of the procedure with this laser and the rest of the procedure still by conventional methods - which includes the use of ultrasound waves to remove the cataractous lens, followed by manual implantation of an artificial lens,” Rocha stated. BRHC received the equipment in August 2015 and after a month of testing, calibrations and certification the first procedure with the new Laser Platform took place September 10.

Solutions & Substitutions by Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, I made a chocolate rolled cake that cracked when I unrolled it to add the filling. Is there a way to prevent the cake from falling apart? Thanks. Danielle Dear Danielle, Here are a few tips: Avoid overbaking the cake. Roll the cake with parchment paper (or a tea towel sprinkled with icing sugar) immediately after removing it from the oven. If the cake cools, the chance of cracks increases. Cool the cake in the fridge for several hours or overnight. Gently unroll the cake and add filling. If the cake happens to crack, cover with icing, whipped cream, toasted almonds or icing sugar. Dear Reena, When we moved into our house, there had been a lot of renovation work done and unfortunately the individuals who did those renovations failed to properly cover vents and flooring, meaning drywall dust was caked on all the new laminate floors, some of the cupboards and the closets. It’s nasty stuff and it is everywhere! We’ve tried cleaning it off the kitchen floors but nothing seems to cut through it. We still have a

dim look to the flooring and it still feels grimy. Any suggestions? As well, do you have any tips on how to keep the floor from marking as soon as we step on it? We can see our footprints, water droplets, anything that touches the flooring, in nice little patterns all over my kitchen. Thanks so much! Alicia Dear Alicia, Make a solution of 50/ 50 white vinegar and water. Add a few drops of dish soap (or cheap shampoo) to the mix. Wash the floors with a good quality micro fibre mop and dry with a towel. The walls can be washed in the same way. This recipe is wonderful but there are also commercial laminate cleaners that can be purchased from home hardware stores. Keep in mind that some types of laminate flooring mark a lot easier than others. Depending on the texture, finish, colour of laminate, and the direction of the boards, there may be nothing that you can do to remove water drop stains other than clean them each time they occur. Dear Reena, Do you have an effective way to spray clean chandeliers without using

commercial preparations? Thanks. Izzy Dear Izzy, Here is a solution to clean a chandelier without scrubbing or polishing each piece. Begin by covering the floor with newspaper or hang an open umbrella under the chandelier. Into an empty spray bottle combine: 1 tsp. (5 ml) rubbing alcohol, 4 cups (1 L) hot water and 2 tbsp. (30 ml) dishwasher anti spot agent, i.e. Jet Dry. While the chandelier is off; spray the unit and let the liquid drip dry onto the umbrella or newspaper. Recycle newspaper or rinse umbrella in the bathtub. Feedback from Smart Readers Re: Coating of aphid excrement on vehicle. I found that Magic Eraser worked well without damaging the finish.
