New program for Deloraine School by Judy Wells Water, the environment, and conservation. These three topics are gaining attention and importance in the world and at home. In recent years southwest Manitoba has been hard hit by extreme moisture which has affected many students’ lives - through infrastructure challenges and economics. Deloraine School educators, Donna Moore (vice-principal) and Donna McGregor (resource) recognized
2012 John Deere S680
both the need and opportunity to explore this further. They are keenly aware that students learn in different ways and time frames. A project proposal was devised with the following theme: “Making Conservation Connections through Creativity”. The proposal was submitted to obtain an Arts Smarts II grant for Deloraine School. This program is sponsored by the Manitoba Arts Council. Here’s a few lines from the proposal:
2005 John Deere 9760STS
“Our School goal is to increase K-12 competencies in the area of generating ideas, organization, and exploring personal voice. One of our School’s cross-curricular themes is environmental awareness and conservancy and one of our Divisional priorities is to increase the teacher capacity in differentiated instruction to improve student learning. We would like to combine all of these goals by creating the opportunity through this project for students to
creatively learn about land and water conservancy and to artistically express their concerns, hopes, and fears about their rural environment. We intend also to help them appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of the rural landscape to help them understand the importance of protecting it.” The program will be delivered by Joan Trott, who is no stranger to Deloraine School. She has facilitated several Art Smart programs in the
2000 John Deere 9650W
past. She has also worked many times with staff and students in her previous position as Arts Integration Project Coordinator for South West Horizon School Division. We use Art to enhance the core curriculum. It’s especially good for students who learn better “hands on” and through tactile methods. We continue to learn ways the students learn better and we work closely with the teacher. (Continued on Page 3)

New program for Deloraine School (Continued from Page 1) Trott is excited to start the program. She has many learning tools to present the program, including “magic lan terns” by which stu dents can present mini puppet shows. “I get my ideas from all over and the magic lantern came from a visit to Chile. While there we saw some street artists with these and I just knew this could be incorporated into a program at home,” says Trott. Another item, known as a ‘calming bottle’ contains water and oil as well as other items. It clearly demonstrates how oil and water do not mix. And, as other ingredients are added, one can easily see how the water is affected. “We want to effec tively teach the students how precious water is and that adding any new element changes it both right there and down stream. Using Art to depict these changes is very effective,” contin ued Trott. The project is eight weeks in duration with Trott spending two full days at School. She will consult with each teacher before their class time together and debrief after the class to ensure the teachers edu cational goals were met. The School is also collaborating with Turtle Mountain Conservation District (TMCD) who have enthusiastically embraced the project. TMCD will provide technical and infor mational support when ever needed. As well, TMCD is sponsoring and collaborating in a kick-off event - “Mini
LEN’S
Water Festival” (see next week’s paper for info and pictures). TMCD will be work ing with the Grade 9 and 10 students in a River Watch Program. The students will con tinually test the quality of a local water source and enter the results on the town web site. At the same time, Trott will be meeting with the other grades introducing various art forms: • Kindergarten Grade 2 (Art/Science) watercolour painting; with artist showing how colours mix and how easy it is to pollute water sources by intro ducing foreign sub stances; • Grade 3 & 4 (Art/ Sciene/ELA) - creating water and habitat related 3D structures to learn about the envi ronment. They will be encouraged to use recy cled materials. Grade 4 will create 3D represen tations of habitats and their associated popu lations of plants and animals. • Grade 5 & 6 Grade 5 - address types of clouds, formation of clouds, and predicting the weather through cloud identification. Grade 6 - Miniature puppet theatres to illus trate conservation con cepts. (Art/Social Studies/Science). • Grade 7 - Introduce the concept of musical time signatures and relate it to math con cepts of: fractions, relating fractions of the whole, and equivalent fractions. Students will learn the basics of writ ing musical time, create their own rhythm instruments from recy cled material, and write their own nature sound -
ALTERNATIVE RV
scapes. This will con nect the relationships of quarter, half, and whole notes to fractions. Grade 8 - 3D mod eling of ancient civi lization (Ancient Egypt) as related to water and land use. This will assist students in mak ing the connection between the flooding of the Nile Delta in ancient times and the resulting rich agricul tural crops, to the mod ern inception of the Aswan Dam. (Art/ Social Studies); • Grade 11 & 12 oxidation exploration through the use of rust ing techniques, copper art clay, and photo-sen sitive paper. Also with these grades, Fractal art showing shoreline ero sion (Chemistry/Math/ Art). The project will con clude with an “Envirothon” sponsored by TMCD and open to the public. Students will show what they have learned about conser vation, display their finished art pieces, and results of water quality testing. The project will go full circle - “From Fun to Facts” starting with the Water Festival, con tinuing with the artbased learning, and ending with the Envirothon. Throughout the eight weeks, students will be reminded about and encouraged to abide by the three ‘Rs’ of Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. As much as possible materials for the various projects will be from the three ‘R’ concept. Deloraine/Winchester

New program The theme of an exciting new program at Deloraine School is “Making Conservation Connections Through Creativity” and it started this week. Pictured right are some examples of projects the students will be making - 3D structures, painting on various mediums, calming bottles, and much more. Pictured left is Joan Trott, the program facilitator with a “Magic Lantern”. Students will be making their own miniature “puppet” theatre to show various conservation concepts. For example, showing the life cycle of a butterfly. Joan got this unique idea from street artists in Chile. The sides and front of the box are made of cloth so when you look through the goggles (on front of box) in the sunlight, you can see what’s inside. The program involves all K-12 students.

Odds & Ends
Southwest Cougars by Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars of the Manitoba AAA Midget League held their 2015/2016 try out weekend for pro spective Cougars. The turn out to the camp was the lowest in all my years with the Cougars with 35 players making their way to Souris. The inter squad game on Sunday saw the team reduce the roster to 25 skaters and four goalies. The preseason tour nament this weekend will see the Cougars take
to the ice Thursday and Friday night and again on Saturday afternoon. The Cougars will see Zach Wytnick, Brian Harris, John Patmore, Blake Jameson, Quin Hobbs, and Jared Janke return for the 2015/16 season with Rylan Rommelaere expected to return from an extended stay with the Medicine Hat Tigers. Garrett Sambrook will return from the Brandon Wheat Kings for his first year of AAA Midget hockey. The Cougars
Deloraine
will also be joined by Tanner Gaudry, Carson Boyechko, and Dexter Dalgliesh who all played with Vincent Massey High School in Brandon with the remaining spots up for grabs as coach Dennis McNish looks to develop the team. The Cougars had a surprise visitor to the room when International Hall of Fame member and Western Michigan University head coach Andy Murray spent some time in the room
with the team. The Souris native told the young men what an opportunity lies before them. Hockey can be a life long career, like it has for him. The Cougars host the eight team preseason tournament this weekend and travel to Brandon on September 24 to face the Wheat Kings before opening on the road October 2 in Parkland with the Winnipeg Wild visiting Souris the following night at 6:30 p.m.
Sunday, September 20, will be the 35th annual Terry Fox Run. Terry’s commitment to finding a cure for cancer has been carried out through his Foundation. A great deal of money has been raised for research and education. Deloraine community has held a Terry Fox Run through the years. To participate go to the Turtle Mountain Conservation Board room (former Town Complex). Deloraine Ladies 2000 Club hosts the event. Here’s a couple of quotes from Terry: “I don’t feel that this is unfair. That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one, it happens all the time to people. I’m not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. It will inspire more people. I just wish people would realize that anything is possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.” “When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research (there were 22 million people in Canada in 1980) and I don’t care man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason!” • • • The Rumblerz Bike Club (formerly Deloraine Cruisers) held its 4th annual Cruisin’ For Cash Dice Run on Saturday, September 12. It was a huge success with double the riders from last year. There were a few more chances to win cash as well. A big shout out to the organizers, participants and sponsors. It was a good day with about $8,400 going to the Deloraine Curling Club for its new facility. • • • There’s an exciting new program going on at Deloraine School for the next eight weeks. Thanks to the initiative and hard work of a few individuals, an ArtsSmart II grant was secured from the Manitoba Arts Council. K-12 students inclusive will be taking part, learning about water, the environment and conservation. The theme of the program is “Making Conservation Connections Through Creativity.” Joan Trott is the facilitator. See article for more. The students kicked off the program with a “Water Festival” on September 16. This included three stations - Water Pong, Soak It Up, and Walking With Water. See photos in next week’s issue. • • • Wednesday, September 16, was the grand opening of the brand new “state-of-the-art” MNP building. It’s beautiful inside and out - spacious and well designed. How fortunate it is for this community to have this business and building in its midst. As well, the business/building can accommodate 23 employees. Currently there are nine full-time employees, 12 during tax seasons and a few parttime staff from Brandon, including a Farm Management Consultant and Tax Specialist. Check next week’s paper for pictures. • • • A reminder that there will be a Blood Donor Clinic on Monday, September 21, at the Deloraine School. If you ever wonder who you can help with your donation, here’s a few: People undergoing heart surgery, leukemia, in a car crash, aplastic anemia. On the CBS website check out Madison’s story. She has congenital heart disease and needed 40 transfusions as a baby as well as daily platelet and plasma transfusions. She spent her first 72 days in intensive care. Today, she’s a happy, healthy 4-year-old thanks to an ongoing supply of blood products. The national blood inventory has steadily declined this summer and needs a boost to continue to meet the needs of patients through the fall and coming weeks.

Christmas in the Country Tradeshow... “Something for Everyone” submitted by Krystle Caldwell and Terri Williamson In 2011 we decided to start a special event in Reston. As home based business representatives, we wanted a local show where people could browse through a variety of products. Our first show was held in the Reston School, with 35 exhibitors, and 189 visitors attending. That year we donated $850 to the Playground Committee. After our first year’s
success, we decided to change our location to the Reston Curling Rink. Since we were both members of the Reston & Area Early Learning Centre Board we partnered with them and it was decided they would run the canteen and provide a “home cooked meal” for lunch. With the growing success of the show, we have included the Reston Archery Club who assist in the set up, clean up, and carrying of items for exhibitors.
We have 64 booths in total and on average over 300 people attend our show. The exhibitors have come from great distances to attend. Over the years, we have had people from as far as Flin Flon, Winnipeg, Moose Jaw, and Radville, SK. There is a wide variety of products from makeup, jewellery, clothing, candles, food products, kitchenware, Christmas floral arrangements, children’s books, etc. Part of the success of
the show is our sponsors. So far this year we have two gold sponsors; Sunrise Credit Union and the RM of Pipestone. We still have a few booths available and sponsors are greatly appreciated. For information and entries go to our website at www.christmasinthecountrymb.com To date we have donated $7,648 to the Playground Committee, Reston & Area Early Learning Centre, and the Reston Archery Club.
Manitoba’s Regional Economic Analysis Process (REAP) by Paige McDougall, Rural Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Specialist, MAFRD Ever wonder, what industries would work best in your com munity? , or what busi nesses would comple ment your community? If these questions are being pondered by your council, economic development officer, local business owners or community, then the Regional Economic Analysis Process, may be just what you need to move forward on your economic development plans! The Regional Economic Analysis Process (REAP) is a service that Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Development offers to communities within self selected regions (at least two municipalities) to pro vide information about the demographics and economy of the region and to help leaders identify economic development priorities. Existing regional organizations or a group of regional stakeholders committed to working together may use REAP to develop and imple ment a regional eco nomic development strategy. The Regional Economic Analysis Process includes five steps. 1. REAP Report M a n i t o b a Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) staff will prepare a report includ ing demographic, job, industry and business data and analysis for the region. The report provides data and analysis on: • Population, edu cation, income, job
numbers • Industry sector concentrations (i.e. industries that are ‘spe cial’ to the region) • Business concen trations (i.e. businesses that are “special” to the region) • Comparative advantages and poten tial opportunities for the region. 2. Share the Report MAFRD staff will present the report to the regional host organi zation and its partners. The findings in the report are discussed and strategic economic opportunities and pri orities are identified for the region. The report may also be presented to a larger group of regional stakeholders. 3. Consult the Region Regional stakehold ers explore the priori ties and opportunities identified in more detail. They identify the specific actions needed to address the priority. The host organization may conduct consul tations with regional stakeholders through surveys, one-on-one interviews or facilitated group discussions. 4. Create an Action Plan The host organi zation facilitates the development of a regional action plan that includes steps and actions to address the opportunities identified. The process for creating an action plan is flexi ble and depends on input from regional partners and stakehold ers and the capacity of the regional organi zation. 5. Take Action The host organi zation and/or its regional partners will ensure that the action
plan is implemented, with partners agreeing on roles and respon sibilities to carry out the plan. Throughout this process, MAFRD staff is available to pro vide assistance with facilitating discussions, identifying and access ing resources as well as assisting in tracking results. MAFRD staff may provide additional support for any value added agricultural pro jects.
If you think that the Regional Economic Analysis Process could benefit communities in your area, please con tact: Value Added and Rural Economic Advancement Branch, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, 1129 Queens Avenue, Brandon, MB R7A 1L9.

Ten neat things about textiles made from plants by Dorothy Dobbie, Pegasus Publications Inc., reprinted with permission 1. King Cotton. Aside from this being a slogan from the American Civil War, cotton has been king of the textile industry for more than 4,500 years. Not only is cotton used in dozens of appli cations on its own, it can be combined with linen to make luxury items such as velvet. The plant, Gossypium herbaceum, is related to the mallow family, which includes the lovely hibiscus. The seeds are contained in a “boll”, a capsule filled with fibres surrounding the seed. Everything from denim to cheese cloth, from fine cam bric to rough buckram and canvas is made from cotton. 2. Second cousin, second fiddle. While we may think linen is the natural sec ond to cotton, we’d be wrong. Cotton’s rival is the jute plant, Corchorus capsularis or C. olitorius, both part of the mallow fam ily themselves. This important plant is used to make burlap (Hessian to some). It’s a coarse cloth that was used to clothe the soldiers of Germany’s Hesse, the home state of Frankfurt. It would have been scratchy but breathable, one reason it was
favoured to make gunny sack, in which were transported dried goods such as coffee beans. It’s used for sandbags and green tobacco, and was traditionally used as the backing for rugs and even linoleum. It was used in sackcloth, worn by those who felt the need to mortify their flesh on Ash Wednesday. 3. Lovely linen. Linum usitatis simum, common flax, is used to make linen. It, too, has been in use for thousands of years, dat ing back to 8000 BC and maybe as early as 36,000 BP (before pre sent), and was even used as currency in ancient Egypt. Linen was one of the primary textiles used in the wrapping of mummies as much as 4,000 square yards a body. 4. Nettle shirt any one? We have heard of a hair shirt as a method of self-torture, but what about a nettle shirt? Turns out the expe rience is anything but negative. Nettle is softer and more durable than cotton, more elas tic and produces a finer product, but it was shunted aside by cotton which was easier to harvest. Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) predated cotton by a couple of thousand years in Europe. Some people are trying to bring it
back into favour. 5. Another cousin. Also known as China grass, ramie, Boehmeria nivea, is related to stinging nettle. It pro duces a fibre useful for fishing nets, filter cloth and, in blends, for clothing. 6. The hated hemp. Much-maligned hemp, Cannabis sativa, is an excellent textile source. It resists shrink ing so is favoured as a blend for cotton, but it is also used to make bags and ropes for its strength. Hemp plants are high-growing varie ties of Cannabis, low in THC. The 100 per cent cloth is rough and dura ble. 7. Pineapple cloth. Made from the leaves of the Spanish red pineapple, piña, as it is known, is rare and expensive. So prized that it has been used as a gift to British royalty, this soft, translucent, lightweight material is often hand loomed for wedding dresses and table linens. The national dress of the Philippines, Barong Tagalog (often called simply Barong) is made of embroidered piña or other sheer native fab ric and worn by men as a symbol of power. 8. Bamboo(zle). There has recently been a lot of hype pro moting bamboo as a natural fibre that will help save the world.
While the fibre is in use for making textiles, it needs to be treated with sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) which puts it in the same cate gory as rayon, consid ered an artificial, manmade product derived from plant cellulose. Still, the result is a silky, soft material that drapes well. 9. Stuff it! Kapok, from Java’s kapok tree (Ceiba pen tandra), is another member of the mallow family. It produces a buoyant, light-weight fluff in its seedpods that can absorb 30 times its weight in water. The product is often used to stuff pil lows, mattresses and toys. Closer to home, the fluff from the com mon milkweed seedpod was used for its downlike properties to stuff airmen’s jackets in the war and is still used as a hypoallergenic stuff ing for pillows and mattresses. 10. Coir and sisal. Ground-up coco husk, coir fibres is used for making rope and doormats. It is also found in automobile seats, in mattresses, as brushes and in ropes. Sisal, from Agave sisa lama from Mexico, is replacing asbestos in brake pads but it is also used to make twine and ropes and is replacing glass fibres in compos ite materials.

Farmlink Marketing by Marvin Mills El Nino impacts global growing conditions We first wrote about the 2015 El Nino back in May and since then strong words have been used to characterize the event, some are calling Godzilla like. El Nino’s are the result of the warming of the equatorial Pacific Ocean and can drive weather changes globally, pos sibly wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems, i n f r a s t r u c t u r e and may drive up food prices. The 2015 El Nino is now the strong est event since 1997-98, with weekly tropical ocean temperatures a little more than a half degree below the peak during that time. This has had an impact on global growing con ditions. The mid-August
forecasts for the S e p t e m b e r November period con tinues to show a strong likelihood of drier-thannormal conditions over Indonesia, northern South America and northern Australia. There are also increased odds for drier-than-nor mal conditions in parts of central and western Africa, the northeastern US and Central America. Wetter-thanaverage conditions are predicted to be more likely in parts of eastern Africa, south eastern South America and the southwestern US. In Australia there has been concern about a lack of moisture coming into the growing season. However, according to recent updates, timely rains have most of Australia looking at
strong crop potential. This may be as a result of the relationship between the El Nino and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD - a weather event that takes place in the equatorial Indian Ocean that has a strong influ ence on the effects of an El Nino in Australia). In eastern Australia, El Nino is usually asso ciated with below aver age winter/spring rain fall over and a positive IOD typically reinforces this pattern over central and southeast Australia. However, sea surface temperatures to the north of Australia and more broadly across the Indian Ocean basin, also affect Australia’s cli mate and are likely to be moderating the influ ence of these two cli mate drivers in some locations. The 2015 El Nino
event is following a normal life cycle and is expected to remain in place through the end of the year and into the beginning of next year. The historical tendency is for the El Nino to reach maximum strength during the Dec to Feb time frame. Occasionally El Ninos can persist for up to 2 years. They will also typically recur every 2 to 7 years. Global forecasts for the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016 are also showing typical El Niño climate impacts. In addition to the areas listed above, other areas with strong seasonal forecast signals later in the year include eastern Europe, far eastern Asia, the southeastern US, southern Africa, western Australia and southwestern Asia.

DRUMMOND A year has passed... Marilyn Elaine Drummond (Miller) passed away at the Deloraine Hospital September 19, 2014. She was born September 5, 1946, the youngest child of Joseph and Mae Miller (Temple). Mom lived in Medora until she met and married Garry Drummond of Lauder on March 15, 1969. They had two children Wendy and Darren. Mom was well known for spending a lot of her time in the yard and out in the garden with her dogs,Pet and Gertie, with her. She loved her flowers and garden. She even had a greenhouse for many years. Mom was a very devoted wife and Mother, always putting her needs last and looking after everyone else first. Her grandchildren were also a very important part of her life. She enjoyed spending time at sports events, camping and also was right there to babysit when needed. In 2002, Dad got quite sick and Mom devoted a lot of her time with him. He recovered somewhat from this but never quite got back to his normal self. In the fall of 2012 Dad’s health declined quite rapidly with many hospital stays. Mom was at the hospital more than at home. Dad passed away in June 2013. Mom stayed at the farm by herself after Dad’s passing but never really got over this. She turned quite ill in the spring and was hospitalized in August. She passed away peacefully at the Deloraine Hospital. Greatly missed by her daughter Wendy, husband Mike Vandendorpe, children Dustin, Mitch and Whitney; her son Darren and wife Krista (McBride), children Grayson, Tyler and Coltyn.

She was predeceased by her parents Clara and Norman Steedsman, survived by her brother John, many cousins and close friends. Shirlie was laid to rest in Del Win Cemetery on September 4, 2015.

OBITUARY HATHAWAY Neil Buchanan Hathaway Neil passed away August 13, 2015 at the Souris Health Centre after a struggle of nearly two years since being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Neil was born August 7, 1943 to Baden and Beth Hathaway. He took his early schooling at Coxworth, Grade XI at Dand and Grade XII at Deloraine. Neil didn’t end his studies there. He was always wanting to learn and was an avid reader. He had a particular interest in psychology. From an early age Neil had a love for the land and growing things. He developed an appreciation for gardening from his Mother. He worked the family farm with his Dad and from him he learned a respect for all of nature around him. Neil and his Dad enjoyed many times out together alone, or with family and friends hunting. Neil also enjoyed his leisure time. As well as hunting he fished and golfed. But his favourite sporting time was spent at the curling rink. He often reminisced about the bonspiels and regular games with the fondest memories being those of his team mates and all the fun they had. Neil was a man of many interests. He joined Big Brothers in the ‘80’s and had an ongoing relationship with his match, Ben for the next nearly thirty years. He was Past President of Arthur-Virden NDP Association, Member of Provincial Veterinary Services Commission 10 years and a founding member of Turtle Mountain Souris Plains Heritage Association. Of course, everyone remembers Neil drumming while his Dad played the bagpipes. He took great pride in his Scottish heritage. In 1979 when Baden and Beth moved to Souris, Neil took over the dairy and continued operating Manor Ayr until 1994. Then, in 1996 Neil took an “around the world” trip. He made many friends, some of whom he maintained a contact with all these years. On his return Neil and I (Barbara Carlson) began our life together. Neil bought a herd of cashmere goats from Scotts Bluff, Nebraska in 1998. The wool from these goats he sold to the cottage industry. The herd grew in size and by that time Neil began to cut hay for the Combs’. He sold the goats and began enjoying all the fun adventures that haying offered him! By the fall of 2012 Neil knew something was changing with his health. He worked only a little in 2013 when we made the decision to leave the farm. In 2014 we moved into Hartney. Neil was happy to be in town and he had plans for landscaping our new yard and travel but that was not meant to be. He would tell us all he was a realist and he couldn’t win this fight, but he faced it with great strength. Since January of this year Neil resumed an old hobby and began writing. On reading some of it I found the following advice he offered and I quote: 1) Say yes, never no and look at every situation before deciding against it 2) Never say “I can’t” 3) Eat a balanced diet but more important “live” a balanced life. Work and play and do it all with neither in control to protect your happiness, relationships and home. Neil is survived by his wife Barbara, sister Flora and husband Bill, nephews Colin and Stephen and their families, his Uncle Ron and Aunt Barbara, numerous cousins and many, many friends all over the world. ____________________________________
Thank You I want to thank so many for the help and support offered me at the time of Neil’s passing and since. We were both so grateful for all the visits and calls that helped Neil pass his days at home particularly in the last few months. To Dr. Cram and the staff at Souris Health Centre, I want to thank you for your wonderful care. You made sure Neil was comfortable, treated him with dignity and surrounded him with warmth and compassion in his final days. Thank you to Paul of Smith Funeral Home for his professional services, to the ladies for the lovely lunch, Anne Germani for her harp music, special friend Dan Aird of Fargo for the pipe music. A special thanks to Beth McLean for giving up her day off and making the trip to fulfill Neil’s wish that she lead the service of remembrance. The many cards, floral tributes, donations and the number of folks who came to pay tribute speaks to the respect Neil had from our community. He will be deeply missed. ~ Barbara

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your ‘everyday’ bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders, or slip of your shoulders, leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

Solutions & Substitutions by Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, My wife and I com pleted some home reno’s that overall went well but we do have a minor problem. We had a new fireplace installed but did not remove the protective film that cov ers the chrome finish. We did have to test the fireplace before all the reno’s were complete. Apparently the heat from the testing cooked some of the glue used on the protective film to the chrome on the fire place. How do we remove the “smudges” and get the new fire place to “gleam”? Thank you. David Dear David, Contact the manufac turer to inquire about commercial cleaning products to avoid hurt ing your warranty. If this is not an option: Clean with Windex, to avoid scratches use a very, very soft cloth when cleaning the chrome; the ammonia will help the frame “gleam”. Olive oil, rub bing alcohol and WD-40 are other options (test on an inconspicuous area first). Dear Reena, At this time of year, there is usually an infes tation of little fruit flies in the kitchen especially when fruit is on the counter. How do we get rid of them? Lil Dear Lil, Eliminate exposed food sources such as bread, fruit, potatoes, and crumbs. Wash dishes regularly and empty garbage’s, take out compost bucket, clean drains, and gar burators. Hang dish clothes instead of allow ing them to sit in a damp pile; this is a per fect breeding area for flies. Plant soil is another breeding area for fruit flies therefore it is important to wait until necessary to carry plants inside for the winter. Purchase a restaurant style, funnel cap vinegar dispenser. Fill with wine or vinegar. Cap and set near the kitchen sink. Fruit flies are attracted to the smell of ferment ing fruit. Some people like to take this one step further and place the dispenser onto a card board, glue board. Extra tip: Storing bananas during fruit fly
season is easier then you may think. At this time of the year; store fruit in the fridge. Separate bananas and wrap them individually inside bags such as the bulk vegetables bag. Place all individually wrapped banana bags inside one plastic gro cery bag. The bananas won’t turn brown for several days; and they stay fresh longer than if left on the counter. Feedback from pre vious query Re: Betty’s sinking bread update Hi Reena, I wrote you some time ago about my Fergasa Bread falling after making it for quite some time. Since then, I contacted the grocery store in my area and talked to the Baking Supervisor. I explained my situation and she told me that it sounded like I wasn’t baking the bread long enough. I took a sample of the
Fergasa bread to her the next day because I had just taken three loaves out of the oven. She took one look at the bread and told me that I wasn’t baking it long enough. She suggested raising the temperature from 350 degrees F to 360 degrees F and bak ing it for a little longer so that it is quite brown and not just a light golden colour. She told me that they use a 370 degree oven. She also suggested instead of making thtee large loaves to make smaller loaves. I did this on my next batch and it worked! Next time I will go back to the three loaves but bake them at the higher temperature and for a little longer. The three loaves gives me a much higher loaf. Thought you would like to hear about this.

The Minnedosa Tribune Key to the Town presented to Burgess family A sell-out crowd of 200 people filled the Minnedosa Curling Rink on the evening of Friday, August 28, to honour the Burgess family for over 125 years as business owners in the community. The family’s business legacy in Minnedosa can be traced back to the 1880s when John Wake opened his butcher shop and meat market on Main Street. Mr. Wake was the greatgreat-grandfather of Rick Burgess who sold Burgess Quality Foods earlier this year, marking the first time the business has left the hands of this family. During the evening, Minnedosa Mayor Ray Orr presented Rick Burgess and his dad Jim with the Key to the Town.
