Morningstar realizes dream after 50 years by Judy Wells Dreams do come true. Over 50 years ago, Judy Morningstar attended the University of Manitoba to take Home Economics, majoring in Clothing and Textiles. Her dream had been to be a pattern maker and clothing designer. “But at that time there was little opportunity in small-town Saskatchewan to find out where there was a school or university that taught these skills,” aid Morningstar. Only one course in Flat Pattern Design was offered at the U of M, so Judy went on to do other things with her degree. Through the following 50 years, Judy has stitched, sewn, quilted, and created thousands of items. She is well known across Canada for her quilt creations and sought after for her expertise. But it wasn’t until spring of 2015 that Morningstar had an opportunity to try her hand at “real” pattern making. You know the old saying “it’s not what you know but who you know”? This was certainly the case when her friend and former classmate at U of M, Marg Whetter, suggested Morningstar’s name to a young Brandon clothing designer, Ted Whetter. It seemed Ted Whetter was looking for a pattern maker and seamstress for a haute couture menswear clothing collection which he planned to enter the Emerging Young Designer competition in Toronto.

Realizing 50 year dream (Continued on Page 2) A partnership was formed, and Morningstar set to work on this challenge in March 2015, with an August deadline. The pattern-making course had been a long time ago and had focussed on women’s wear. “Ted drew the illustrations. From them, I had to figure out how to draft a pattern which, when sewn together, would produce a garment that looked exactly like his sketch. It’s all very technical but also very creative at the same time. I loved getting my brain in gear to learn new processes,” said Morningstar. Each pattern was drafted from rectangles, which then were adapted to create the lines of the pattern. Every pattern was sewn in muslin. Once the pattern pieces were perfected, Morningstar cut and stitched the fashion fabric. This Spring/Summer collection included 12 complete outfits, each with two or three gar-

ments. They chose most of the fabrics together, and were fortunate to be able to get most of them at Brandon’s Fabricland. “The outfits had to be made to a standard size which is 38” chest, 32” waist, and 34” inseam. There’s lots of measuring and lots of math,” added Morningstar. This Spring/Summer collection was shown at the Glen Sutherland Art Gallery at Brandon University recently. Whetter was very pleased with Morningstar’s work and has asked her to draft the patterns and do the sewing for his Fall/ Winter collection. “He also asked me to teach him how to do it, so we will be working together. He feels this will make him a better designer. We work together really well”, concluded Morningstar. Whetter’s big goal is to establish himself as a menswear designer. He has a website featuring his collection: www.tedwhetter.com .

Election 2015: So what are we voting for? by Tyler Bugg With just over a week to go until Canadians go to the polls to select the next government, now is as good as time to dispell a few myths regarding elections, and to explain what exactly will happen on October 19. It is, if the polls are any indication, a close race of who gets to become (or remain) Prime Minister. The three men and one woman who are candidates across the country are current Prime Minister Stephen Harper of the Conservatives, Justin Trudeau of the Liberal Party, and New Democratic Party leader Tom Mulclair, and Green Party head Elizabeth May, so every vote will count! So are we voting for the Prime Minister? No. When you go to your designated voting place, you will be given a small piece of paper with the list of the candidates running in your Riding. Despite what you may hear or see on the TV, radio or on the internet, the vast majority of people in Canada will not be voting for the Prime Minister, except those few in the Ridings that the party leaders are running in. In all cases, including in the Ridings that the leaders of the major parties are running, you will be voting for your local Member of Parliament (MP). Your MP is chosen to represent you in the House of Commons and provide assistance in dealing with the bureaucracy in Ottawa. Some MPs, mainly political allies of the leader, may also be given a ministerial cabinet post at the head of a Department, such as Foreign Affairs, National Defense, and Finance. Then how is the Prime Minister selected? The

Prime Minister, the head of government of Canada, is chosen among the MPs in the House of Commons as the person who has the most support among those elected. In almost every case in Canada’s history, that would be the person who is the leader of the party with the largest number of seats in the House of Commons. If a party has a plurality of seats, but not an outright majority, they can form a “minority” government, and work with other parties in the House of Commons to pass legislation. Sometimes, if the minority government does something that the other parties don’t like, it could lead to a “vote of non-confidence,” forcing the Prime Minister to call another election. If the PM has a majority after an election, he still has to call another election after four years. This is to make sure that no one becomes a Prime Minister for life! How do elections work then? When the Prime Minister no longer has the confidence of the House of Commons or if it’s the end of his four year mandate, then he has to go to the Governor-General and ask them to dissolve Parliament. The GovernorGeneral is the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, who is the actual Head of State of Canada, but due to her other job as Queen of the United Kingdom and the rest of the Commonwealth, she leaves most of the day to day stuff in Canada to the GovernorGeneral. Every law needs to have the GovernorGeneral’s approval (Royal Assent) before it comes into force. So the GovernorGeneral dissolves parlia-

Deloraine

ment, and then issues a bunch of “writs,” which is basically an order to election officials to hold an election for a certain date. If you are concerned about an un-elected person representing a monarch has a fundamental power over the Canadian democracy, don’t worry! The Governor-General does almost nothing without the “advice” of the Prime Minister. The last time the Governor-General tried to do something against the wishes of the PM, the public backlash ensured that the Governor-General would never go against the wishes of the Prime Minister again. Enough about the Governor-General, what happens now? With the election called and with a set date for the voting, the real nuts and bolts of campaigning starts. Candidates for the major and minor parties are selected to run in different ridings, and they engage in rallies, Town halls, meetings, running ads in newspapers, TV spots, radio and the internet, door-to-door knocking, debates with other candidates and lots of speeches. The ones you hear most about are of the party leaders: Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau, Tom Mulclair, and Elizabeth May. Most of their actions are closely monitored, and their announcements, policies, and attacks are extensively covered in the media. On election day, millions of Canadians will go to the polls, and select one of the candidates in their Riding to serve in the House of Commons. After the polls are closed, a long night is ahead for elections officials, as they have to count the votes. Usually

when enough votes are counted in a Riding to give a candidate a plurality of votes, they are projected to be the winner by a news organization, but it’s not official until either all the votes are counted or the other candidates concede the election. In this election, there are 338 seats up for grabs in the House of Commons. One party needs to get 170 seats (half of the seats + 1) to form a majority government. So where are we voting? Melita is located in the Brandon-Souris riding, one of the 14 in Manitoba. As for where in BrandonSouris you are voting, I can’t help you there. Elections Canada will have sent information to tell you where to go, or you can look up on the Elections Canada website for your polling station. Who can vote? Everyone! Well... almost everyone. If you are 18 or older, are a registered Canadian citizen, and if you can prove your identity and address, you can vote at your polling station. People who are temporary or permanent residents cannot vote. If you cannot vote on October 19, there is the option of “advance polling” as well. Who is running in Brandon-Souris? There are four candidates in Brandon-Souris. The incumbent is Conservative Larry Maguire, who won his seat in the 2013 by-election (a vote held when a MP resigns before the House of Commons is dissolved). The other candidates and their parties, in no particular order, are David Neufeld of the Green Party, Jodi Wyman for the Liberal Party, and Melissa Wastasecoot for the NDP.

Southwest Cougars open regular season by Grant Moffatt Zach Wytinck lead the Cougars with a goal and four helpers as the Cougars opened the 2015/ 2016 season with a come from behind 8-5 win in Dauphin over the Parkland Rangers on Friday night. Saturday night, in Souris, the Winnipeg Wild won in a shootout 3-2 over the Cougars as the Cougars picked up three points on opening weekend. The Rangers jumped out to a first period lead and had a two goal advantage early in the second before Jared Janke scored his first of the year at 3:19 from Brian Harris. Parkland made it 3-1, 16 seconds later. Quin Hobbs got the Cats within a goal at the nine minute mark on a rare unassisted power play goal. The Rangers scored for the fourth time just over a minute later before Brian Harris hooked up with John Patmore and Zach Wytinck at 12:34 to make it a 4-3 game after two periods. Zach Wytinck then opened the scoring 2:34 into the third period with an unassisted marker to knot the score at four. Parkland took a 5-4 lead at 4:17 and held the Cougars at bay until the Cougars took over and scored four unanswered goals for the win in the last five minutes. McCullough Park scored a power play goal, from Quin Hobbs and Wytinck, to tie the score at 15:26. Jared Janke got the Cougars the first lead of the game a minute later from John Patmore and Blake Jameson. Rookie

Josh Wiens got in on the fun a minute later with his first goal from Dawson Waddell and Zach Wytinck. The Cougars finished the scoring with and empty net marker with four seconds left as John Patmore hooked up with Quin Hobbs and Zach Wytinck. Rylan Rommelaere finished the night with 32 saves for the win. Saturday night the short staffed Winnipeg Wild made their way to Souris for their first game of the year. Brent Namaka took an errant clearing pass and opened the scoring less than two minutes into the game. The Cougars were quick to respond as John Patmore evened the scoring with a shot from the slot from Jared Janke, 30 seconds later. The teams played a scoreless second frame with the Wild dominating play. The third period saw Zach Wytinck score on the power play midway through the period from Ben Hilhorst and Josh Wiens. The lead hung on until the Wild banged in a loose puck at the side of the net to even the score with less than three minutes to go. Overtime was scoreless as the Wild had a pair of shots on net as the teams played 4 on 3 hockey for the first 30 seconds. The Cougars had chances to put the game away but the game ended in a shoot out. Ian Briscoe made the most of it scoring twice on four shots while the Cougars found the net once in four tries. Rylan Rommelaere finished the game with 29

saves while the Cougars fired 22 at the Wild net. Zach Wytinck was the Subway Player of the Game. The Cougars will have Garrett Sambrook and Grady Hobbs in the lineup next weekend after attending the U16 Camp in Winnipeg. Jared McCorrister will be close to returning to the ice after a preseason injury. John Patmore left the Wild game with an upper body injury in the second period. The Cougars visit Yellowhead this Friday night and then face another stiff test on Sunday afternoon when they face off against the Winnipeg Thrashers at 2:00 p.m.

International Credit Union Day: People Helping People submitted The credit union movement began 160 years ago in Levis, Quebec, with a simple but radical idea. That with the help of your neighbours, you can improve your financial well-being. Back then, in the 1900s, ordinary working people had little access to the commercially centered banks. Organized locally, according to a co-operative model, credit unions provided Canadians urgently needed savings and lending services, at fair rates. This idea spread across the world, and credit unions flourished, especially during times of economic hardship. During the Great Depression, scores of ordinary Canadians - farmers, teachers, small business owners - found themselves without access to banking services, so they banded together to become their own financial institution. Credit unions opened in record numbers. The first credit union in Manitoba was organized in 1937 by Father Benoit in the French farming community of St. Malo. Seven months later in the same year, Norwood Credit Union was founded in Winnipeg.

Following their example, people throughout Manitoba, drawn together through common ethnic, religious, professional or geographical affiliations, began founding credit unions in ever-increasing numbers. By 1939 there were 19 credit unions in Manitoba, with combined assets of $49,990 and 2,406 members. From these humble beginnings, Manitoba credit unions have evolved over 78 years into modern, extremely competitive, successful financial institutions with a collective size of over $25 billion in assets, more than 190 branches, and 3,500+ employees. Even after all this time, the bedrock principles of credit unions remain unchanged. Credit unions are still: People coming together to be their own bank, so no one can deny them a path to prosperity. People pooling their savings to provide each other affordable credit. People helping people. To celebrate this powerful movement and our cooperative advantage, mark October 15 on your Ccalendar and make a special point to stop by your local Credit Union that day.

Over $50,000 raised for community betterment submitted With the sights of school buses on the road, combines in the field, and beautiful yellow and orange scenery all around us, we know summer has passed and fall is in full swing. Also in full swing is the organizing of the annual Fowl Supper in Pipestone. Every year this small community swells to over 600+ people who come to take in a traditional fall meal of turkey and ham with all the trimmings. In checking records back to the late 90s, the crowds have averaged 625 people with the highest attendance being 721 meals served within 2 1/2 hours. Pretty impressive for a small community of approximately 200 people. The supper last year consisted of 325 lbs. turkey, 90 lbs. ham, 220 lbs. potatoes, 50 lbs. cabbage, 100 lbs. turnips, and let us not forget the desserts - 47 pies and 28 pans of refrigerated dessert. Now these are a variety of stats about the supper but the most noteworthy is the fact that since the late 90s, the Fowl Supper has contributed over $50,000 back to community betterment. Some funds have been designated to organizations such as the Pipestone Drop Inn, Pipestone Cemetery, Pipestone Skating Rink, and the Pipestone Rec Club. The majority of our funds have gone towards the Pipestone Community Hall via the Pipestone Lions Club for such projects as the bathroom updates, new tiles for the floor, new tables, and chairs, new kitchen cabinets and the commercial dishwasher. The Hall is widely used for all social

We are a nonprofit organization with no affiliation of any religious nature . . . just a whole community coming together for an afternoon of fellowship, a supper out and at the same time, raising money which comes back to benefit our community! Of course the Committee is very grateful for the cooperation of everyone in the community who donates food towards the supper and their time to make the evening flow effortlessly. For some, it’s making phone calls or prepping coleslaw or vegetables prior to the supper; for others it’s volunteering to fill the nearly 100 shifts needed that day which is the core to the success of the supper.

What a great example of when everyone pulls together to do a little, you can gain a lot! As cell phones have become part of today’s culture and there is no need for a home phone line, contacting everyone in the area has become more of a challenge. However, if you are a Pipestone or area resident who hasn’t been contacted and would be willing to donate food or an hour or so of your time, we welcome you to call Sharon Zarn at 204-854-2904 and leave a message. Whatever your contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. This year’s supper will be held on Sunday, October 18, at the Hall between 4:00 and 6:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing many familiar faces and hopefully some new ones!

Does safety improve your farm’s bottom line? Workplace safety and health is important especially in farming where the industry is known for its high fatalities most of which are machinery related. However, injuries and illnesses are preventable. That is why it is so important for producers to take the necessary preventative measures in creating safety and health systems that fit their operation. A few simple preventative measures go a long way towards establishing a safe working environment. It is time for farm safety to be part of the farm business risk management plan. There is evidence that investing in farm safety programs directly contributes to profit for your farm. Your return on investment outweighs your cost. What is return on investment? Return on investment (ROI) is a popular financial measurement for evaluating financial results of specific investments and actions. ROI measures the amount of money you make, relative to the investment’s cost. This kind of measurement addresses questions like: • What do we gain from our spending? • Are the expected returns outweighing the costs? • Do the returns justify the investment? In short, when you figure out the ROI, you figure

out the efficiency of an investment. In the last few decades, ROI has become a popular general purpose measurement for evaluating capital acquisitions, projects, programs, initiatives and traditional investments in stock shares or the use of venture capital. Using ROI in farm safety programs Using ROI to justify an investment in farm safety may have implications on how producers view and manage safety. ROI works best where economic benefits are easy to identify, measure and manage. Though the benefits of investing in safety do not always meet these criteria, there are ways you can evaluate and manage your safety investments. Farm accidents are costly in both financial and human terms. Direct costs may include: • Delayed production • Wages • Insurance premiums • Attorney fees • Fines and penalties Indirect costs include: • Accident investigation costs • Costs of fixing damaged property or equipment • The cost of installing safety devices • Training and compensation of replacement workers • Lost productivity because of employee stress • Low employee morale • Increased absenteeism

• Poor reputation • Difficulty finding skilled labour • Loss of business The Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) estimates the economic burden of injuries is $275,000 for a fatality, $143,000 for permanent disability, $10,000 for hospitalisation and $700 for injuries that don’t require a hospital stay. As a producer, you need to demonstrate that investing in safety programs and compliance isn’t just a necessary evil or moral obligation. It’s an investment that directly contributes to a profit for your farm business. You can prepare and present a proposal to spend money on a safety program in exactly the same way as you would for buying a new piece of equipment. You need to prove that investing in safety programs generates a positive rate of return on your bottom line. The value of farm safety is more than the dollar saved or the returns earned. The ROI on preventing the human costs far outweighs the earnings. SAFE Work Manitoba has developed tools and resources you can use to customise your farm safety investment for a positive ROI.

TPP agreement will increase canola exports and support communities submitted by the Canola Council of Canada October 5, 2015 Today in Atlanta, Georgia, trade ministers from 12 pacific countries announced the conclusion of a landmark TransPacific Partnership (TPP) agreement that will allow canola exports to grow substantially. By eliminating tariffs and bringing new disciplines to non-tariff barriers like those related to biotechnology, the agreement will improve the competitive-

Social Justice Club holds successful Pie Auction by Judy Wells The Deloraine Social Justice Club held a very successful Pie Auction at the annual Open House on September 30. Auctioneer Brent Crowe very capably sold about a dozen pies - from chocolate, lemon, pumpkin, saskatoon to cherry. He was assisted by the Social Justice Club. A whopping $900 was raised to support the people severely affected by the Syrian refugee crisis. A big shout out to Ms. Patmore, the Social Justice Club, Brent Crowe and all the buyers.

ness of the Canadian canola industry. “Eliminating tariffs on canola oil in Japan is a huge benefit to the canola industry,” says Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada. “Once the agreement is fully implemented, the TPP will put us on a level playing field in one of our most valuable export markets.” Japan is a long-standing and consistent market for canola seed but tariffs of approximately 15% have prevented oil exports. Through the TPP, the canola industry estimates that when tariffs are fully eliminated in Japan and Vietnam over five years, exports of canola oil and meal could increase by up to $780 million per year. In 2014, more than $1.2 billion in canola seed was exported to Japan. As tariffs are eliminated, the canola industry estimates that exports will shift increasingly to value added oil and meal, while maintaining the overall volume of canola that is exported. “Canada has a globally competitive canola processing sector,” says Miller. “By eliminating tariffs on value added products, the TPP will increase the value of our exports and bring benefits to the whole canola value chain. This increased value will flow through communities across the country.” The inclusion of com-

mitments to prevent biotechnology related measures from being trade barriers in the TPP could also be beneficial to the canola industry. Commitments around approval processes of new biotech products and measures to minimize the impact of low level presence incidences could benefit the industry. Biotech canola has been an important tool contributing to the competitiveness of Canadian canola growers. With 12 countries participating in the TPP, and several more expressing interest in joining, setting a new standard of rules will help the Canadian canola industry continue innovating. “Leadership shown by the Government of Canada to make sure that Canada benefits from this landmark agreement will help the canola industry to continue growing and supporting communities,” says Miller. “We congratulate Minister Ed Fast and the Canadian negotiators for obtaining a deal that will grow canola exports and hope all parties will recognize the importance of implementing this agreement as quickly as possible so that the benefits can be realized.” Implementing the agreement quickly is important for the canola sector as Australia currently has preferential access to ship canola oil to Japan through their bi-lateral free trade agreement

implemented earlier this year. Once the TPP is fully implemented, Canadian canola will be on a level playing field with other oils into Japan. As a regional agreement that allows food processors to use ingredients from 12 countries and then have preferential access to ship the finished product to any of the 12 countries, the agreement could also help boost exports of processed oil products containing canola, like margarine and shortening. This would further increase the demand for canola oil from domestic processors, and bring more value to the canola industry. The CCC is a member of the Canadian Agri-food Trade Alliance that advocates for fair and open trade in agriculture and agri-food products.For more information about the importance of trade to #canolacountry, please visit canolacountry.ca. The CCC is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Improving market access for canola by eliminating tariffs and non-tariff barriers is part of the canola industry’s strategic plan, Keep it Coming. The TPP is a necessary step to achieve the industry’s goals of 26 million tonnes of production and 14 million tonnes of processed products by 2025.

Approximately 14 km in length, it happens to be the “largest navigable body of water in southwest Manitoba.” It has something for everyone. The Healthy Lake Committee is working diligently to keep Pelican Lake healthy and safe. That’s why another aerator is being installed about half way down the lake at Marina Terrace on land owned by the RM of Prairie Lakes. The aerator will keep the lake healthy and safe from algae blooms as well as build on the quality of the water and improvement of fish habitats.

10 neat things about frogs by Dorothy Dobbie, Pegasus Publications Inc., reprinted with permission 1. Those guys never stop talking. Male frogs are champion talkers... er, croakers. A full 15 per cent of their muscle mass is devoted to vocalizing, as opposed to only 3 per cent for females. What are males talking about? The females, of course. Most croaking is associated with mating. Interestingly enough, the males also have bigger ears than their potential mates. If your frog’s coin-like ears, set behind their eyes, are as big as their eyes, chances are it’s a boy. 2. Their ear bone’s connected to their lung bones... Well, not bones exactly, but frogs hear through their lungs. Sound waves hit the lungs then travel by an air link to their ears, called tympanum (drum). This must mute things down a bit because frogs make a mighty noise that could rupture a conventional ear drum system. 3. A frog is a toad and a toad is a frog. They are in fact members of the same family, cousins. Frogs (Ranidae) move back and forth between water and land, can breath through their skin, have long strong back legs (the better to jump with), lay their eggs in masses and have bulging eyes. Toads (Bufonidae) have dry skin and live mostly on land. They lay their eggs in chains, have short hind legs and can squirt poison from a gland in their necks. 4. Frog cycles. Some frogs, such as the common wood frog which

lives all the way north to the tree line, freeze almost solid in winter. They use “nucleators” (the stuff that makes Pepsi and Mentos react so violently, although in this case the vectors are bacteria on skin or in the gut or certain proteins), to cause ice to form at a temperature just around 0 degrees C. This slows down the freezing process allowing the frog’s metabolism to be better controlled. Ice penetrates all through a frog’s liquid parts in a few hours: heart stops, blood stops, breathing stops, eyes turn white and lenses freeze. About 65 to 70 per cent of the frog is now frozen solid. Cells, however, are only frozen on the outside, remaining syrupy in the center thanks to the release of glucose from the liver, which acts as a kind of antifreeze. 5. How to make your gray frog blue. Freeze the gray wood frog. (Continued on Page 15)

brings a wagon-load of wild geese to town. . .Oil is discovered at Beausejour, MB. 1913 School gardening in the future is compulsory, not optional. . .Whitewater Lake is now a dried marsh. It is reported to have been dried up 50 or 60 years ago and this is the first occurrence since then. . .A 40piece Limoges tea set is selling for $15.25. 1919 Today is the first concert of

the fall Chautauqua. 1929 So far this year, there are 325 homestead entries in Manitoba. . .The autumn woods have never been more beautiful than they are this year. 1941 Over 800 people in Manitoba will die of cancer this year. . .There was a snow storm this week and threshing is not completed. . .Waskada United Church celebrates its 53rd anniversary.

supply most of the frog legs to the world’s epicures now. 9. Getting down to the bone. Frog bones grow like trees, in layers over winter, so that scientists can determine the age of a frog by counting the layer of bone. In the wild, frogs live about three years, but a frog in captivity was recorded as living 31 years! Frogs also have a type of teeth, a bony layer on their upper jaw used to hold food, captured by their long tongues (sometimes as long 12 inches), in place. Frogs swallow

food whole and, in addition to keeping the insect population down, the stomachs of larger frogs have been found to contain everything from rodents to fish to baby ducklings! 10. Turning into a prince. While it is true that no amount of kissing will turn a frog into a prince, rubbing your body with frog fluid can make you feel like one. South American Indians do this to make themselves feel bigger, stronger and braver when they go hunting.

10 neat things about frogs (Continued from Page 14) They turn blue when frozen. Incidentally, frogs can lose up to 50 per cent of their body moisture before expiring - no mammal can do that. The collective noun for a group of frogs is an army of frogs. 6. Dr. Frog. Frogs could be called the animal pharmacopoeia. Frogs produce a variety of chemicals that deliver a host of benefits to people, everything from potent painkillers to cancer-treating drugs. Some frogs produce potent antimicrobial, anti fungal and anti parasitical secretions from granular glands around their necks. Minute quantities of a peptide found in African frogs are used in toothpaste to discourage plaque. Painkillers from frogs can be 200 times more potent that plant opiates.

7. Anything that moves. That about sums it up with male frogs in springtime, especially in the north. The first thing they want to do when they unfreeze is mate and will attempt this with anything that moves: other males, even moving leaves in water. The male clasps the female around the waist and releases his sperm on to the egg masses she lays. He can stay attached for anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. 8. Frog legs, anyone? Frogs have powerful legs and can jump up to 20 times their own length. This is good news and bad news for the frog. It allows him to escape most predators, but makes him appetizing to the biggest predator of them all - man, who covets his legs as delicacies. Bull frogs and pig frogs (southern U.S.)
