Chamber holds annual general meeting by Judy Wells A delicious roast beef supper was enjoyed at Deloraine Chamber’s annual general meeting on Tuesday, April 7, at the Legion. “It’s nice to see some new faces around the table,” said Shirley Bell, Chamber president, as she welcomed guests Wendy Mitchler and Garry and Angie Andries. The agenda and 2014 AGM minutes were distributed and approved. Bell presented her President’s Report for 2014. See separate arti2008 John Deere 9630

cle. The executive mem bers were introduced: Acting President Shirley Bell; Vice-president - Francis Parker; Secretary - Judy Wells; Treasurer - Diane Hart. The Treasurer’s Report/2015 Budget was presented by Diane Hart. The bank balance as of January 1, 2015, was $13,859.91. It is a very healthy account which is due to memberships and a major fundraiser (beer gardens). As the major fundraiser, operating the beer gardens requires a great deal of organizing
and volunteer hours. The hard work pays off in that the funds generated allows Chamber to host its many events through the year. These events included: • Canada Day cele brations (expenditure of $1,572); • Town Wide Garage Sales (expenditure of $112.11); • Light Up For Christmas (expenditure of $2,030.59); • Delodaze (expen diture of $1,500); • Election Forum (expenditure of $339.18);
• Celebrations eve ning (expenditure of $1,617.02) Just a note - the 2014 Fair had an exceptional attendance which in turn made the beer gardens a big success. While it is hoped this trend continues, one rain out could change things very quickly. There have been several lean years when Chamber relied on its memberships and municipal grants to operate. Discussion turned to what can Chamber do better? Surprisingly, many
people believe the events hosted by Chamber are actually hosted by the Town. “Chamber needs to promote itself more, be more vocal and com municate what we do,” said Bell. Where do people get their information these days? Facebook, of course. It was decided that Chamber should have a facebook page, it would help with pro motion. Event infor mation as well as meeting reports could be included. (Continued on Page 3)

Melita/Waskada Devils Awards Night submitted The Devils held their Awards Night and Banquet on Thursday, March 26, at the Waskada School. As the players and their parents walked in, there were action shot pictures from various games throughout the year playing up on the wall. Thank you to Sandy Gustafson and Krista Tweed for taking these. All enjoyed a delicious roast beef supper, catered by the Waskada undergrads, followed by speeches, awards and pictures. The speeches had a general consensus that the players were all very grateful for the time and commitment the parents and coaches had given to them and the bond they felt with their teammates will never be forgotten. The parents in return were all very proud of the accomplishments of the team and each player within. Awards were pre sented in six different categories - Rookies of the Year went to Zack McCutcheon and Jack Kirkup; Most Improved went to Lucas Greenley; Hardest Working to Wes Meggison; Top Forward to Wes Meggison; Top Defensemen - Carter McKinney and Nick Fletcher and Most Valuable Player went to Elisha Bambridge. Gifts were presented to this year’s graduating play ers - Brad Dalziel, Wes Meggison, Elisha Bambridge, Carter McKinney, Collin Armstrong, Brayden Murray and Greg
Higgins. The 2014/15 year was a busy year for the Devils. The boys and their coaches started in late August with dryland training. They then drove for a few weeks to Souris for practice until the ice was in Melita. They practised twice a week to develop the team. The Devils went to three tour naments this year Boissevain, Virden and Killarney. They played 18 league games and they ended the Westman High School hockey league with a 6 wins, 8 losses and 4 ties record which left them in 8th place. They played off against Crocus Plains, losing two straight in the semi finals for league consolation championship. Elisha Bambridge, Wes Meggison and Carter McKinney were chosen to represent the Devils at the WHSHL All-Star Game at Hamiota on February 7. Provincial playoffs are always an exciting time of year. In the first round, the Devils took K i l l a r n e y / Wa w a n e s a two game straight. The second round put them against Carberry/ Glenboro/Baldur which they won two games to one. The final round sent the Devils against Deloraine winning two straight against them winning the Zones and giving them a spot at Provincials. The High School Provincials were held in Melita on March 12, 13 and 14. The Devils first game was against the
Morris Mavericks which ended in a 4-4 tie. The second game was against Deloraine Colts, which was a 6-0 loss. This sent the Devils to the consolation side, losing to the Major Pratt Trojans. The Melita/Waskada Devils would like to take this time to extend their appreciation to the communities of Melita and Waskada for all of their support throughout the season. For eve rything from sponsoring the programs to attend ing the steak fry to buy ing squares on the scoreboard, volunteer ing at the Provincial tournament and donat ing items for the raffle table and the Jet’s tick ets. The support shown
to the team by the atten dance at games through out the season was amazing. The team is very grateful for all the support they have received this year. The Melita/Waskada Devils, players and par ents, would like to send a big thank you to Scott Behrmann and Nathan Lee for their time and dedication towards the team. Without such commitment, a team would not succeed the way the Devils did this year - from building confidence to working on skills to showing self-discipline both on and off the ice. Thanks again Coach Behrmann and Coach Lee for your commitment to the team.
Love, your family & friends Devils Awards Night & Banquet The Melita/Waskada Devils annual Awards Night & Banquet was held Thursday, March 26, at Waskada School.

Chamber holds annual general meeting (Continued from Page 1) It was suggested that volunteers at Chamber events wear special t-shirts or sport pins which identify them as Chamber. Beer garden volunteers often wear their business t-shirts (ex: Sunrise Credit Union, MNP, Boundary Co-op), so it can be confusing as to who is actually the host organization. Discussion turned to graduation bursaries and ways Chamber could be involved in sponsorship. It was suggested Chamber support a student entering a Trade, awarding people who may come back to the community. What is the future of Chamber? Deloraine Chamber are the major event planners in the community. “Business retention is an important role of Chamber - businesses helping businesses. We need to create a culture and start at the school levels,” said Bell. Reports RM of Deloraine-Winchester (Reeve Gord Weidenhamer): “The latest news about the Hall is that is seems it will be salvageable. The south wall footings are sinking due to excess moisture. It is hoped that the engineer will give the go ahead and the Hall will be back in business by the fall,” said Weidenhamer. Water plant news - should be breaking ground for this project at the end of April. There will be public meetings concerning this project including information about hook up costs for users. Development - Council has ongoing discussions concerning development. The water and sewer costs are a big issue. Deloraine-Winchester Recreation/EDO (Liza Park): This weekend is the Brandon Home Show called “Beyond City Limits.” Deloraine will be represented at a booth along with several other communities including: Ninette, Souris, Hartney, Melita and Glenboro. Liza spoke about an upcoming MAFRD (Manitoba Agriculture, Food & Rural Development) project called R.E.A.P. - Regional Economic Analysis Process. REAP combines an analysis of demographic, labour, business and industry data for a region. This information, along with supporting workshops, will help communities identify economic development priorities and create an economic action plan. The actual process includes five steps: 1. Build the report; 2. Share the report; 3. Consult the Region; 4. Create and Action Plan; and 5. Take Action. Going forward, it is apparent that partnering with other groups and entities is important and necessary to succeed. The next regular meeting for Deloraine Chamber of Commerce is Thursday, May 7, at the Rendezvous Restaurant. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Deloraine & District Chamber of Commerce 2014 president’s report submitted by Shirley Bell - president Where does the time go? It has been 3 years since I took over the presidency of Deloraine & District Chamber of Commerce. I can’t say it has been easy. My goals were to encourage and strengthen Chamber’s membership, promote Deloraine as the place to “work, live and play” or “The Town that loves Company” and most importantly business creation and retention - I, personal feel that we have edged a little closer to these goals but we have a long way to go. With monthly meetings Deloraine Chamber continues to discuss and challenge itself to it future’s role. In reviewing the activities of our Chamber in 2014 we have continued to provide the essential event planning for the community. Like the weather our community events got warmed up in May with Town Wide Garage Sales, quickly followed with Canada Day Celebrations on June 26 to coordinate with the last day of school. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate like previous years and the Fire Hall venue was called into play. With some unusual guests (circus performers) and an amazing crowd this event continues to be a community favourite. Deloraine Fair and Races is the community’s long standing summer event and Chamber’s main fundraiser, partnering with Deloraine Ag Society involves attending the preparation meetings. I came up with a Rural Green and Proud theme for our parade which attracted nearly 40 entries. Presently the Chamber is developing its own parade float which will lead this year’s parade as well as be used at neighbouring community events to promote our community. Preparation has begun of this year’s event to be held 17th and 18th with a new Bull Riding draw. (Continued on Page 4)

Odds & Ends by Judy Wells
Deloraine & District Chamber of Commerce 2014 president’s report (Continued on Page 4) The biggest change to our community landscape is the joining of our town and RM, with resulting elections. Chamber took the lead by hosting a formative forum discussion with all electoral candidates invited. With a crowd of around 60 residents the events was viewed positively. In October Chamber held Community Celebrations which is by far my most favorite event it organizes. The event involves the recognition of our very own, community leaders, innovators, champions and volunteers who continue to make us the definitive community we are all so proud of today. This year the organizing committee changed the nomination program and we added entertainment to the night agenda to make it truly a celebration. Light Up For Christmas event is held to mark the start of our Christmas season. With a $1,000 “win what you shop” giveaway late night shopping, carol singing and more! The weather on the evening was not kind, but the crowd was positive. It brought the whole community together with Chamber, non-profits organizations and individual businesses coordinating to create a unique rural event. All in all, we can look back on our 2014 events with much positivity and some weariness into the future of Deloraine Chamber. Throughout the year, our meetings were filled with many discussions, some heated but your participating numbers are declining with the same amazing members giving up their own time, effort and sometime financial cost so that these community events and the chamber continue. New projects for Chamber in 2015 are: • Partnership in the Regional Treasure Route - which will add additional fall garages sales to our events. • Chamber’s own parade float. • Chamber’s own promotion material includes a banner. • Purchase of an additional freezer for the beer garden venue at the Ag Grounds. This report could not be complete without expressing my personal, and the Chamber’s gratitude, to our executive, and those who stepped up during this year, have work tirelessly throughout 2014. They include secretary Judy Wells, who attended every meeting with enthusiasm and heart, treasurer Diane Hart, who took over from Pam Hainsworth during the year and who keeps us on track and organized and Francis Parker one of our newest members who replaced Dana Kelm as vice-president. Finally thank you to our committees and membership at large, without their commitment and support Chamber would not exist. I am excited for what we can achieve together in 2015. Deloraine
Happy Easter season to everyone! ʻTis the season for b a b y lambs, calves and such. It seems to be a tradition that sometime during Brandon Winter Fair week we get some kind of winter weather, and this year was no exception. This week started cool but is definitely to warm up by the weekend. Who wants to join me in a huge winter coat bonfire? No wait, we may need those coats at any given time during the spring/summer too. I wonder what people in year round warm weather climates look forward to? • • • The Deloraine Legion Ladies Auxiliary held their annual Spring Tea last week. Winners of the prizes: • Door Prize - Evonne Verplanche • Gift Certificate - Donna Todd Grocery Hampers: Leona Janssens, Janet Breemersch, Blake Vandaele, Braden Davis, Bernie Szoradi, Linda Watson • • • The World Curling Championships wrapped up the beginning of the week and by reports curling is going strong in many countries. The bad news is thereʼs going to be a shortage of granite very soon. This is due to a large international middle class that is using the durable granite in their homes at an increasing rate. Curling Canada has already reached out to the World Curling Federation and the International Olympic Committee to take immediate action.
Congratulations to Linda Stone who got a perfect hand in Cribbage last week at the Mountview Centre. She was really excited by the opportunity. Good for you, Linda! • • • The Deloraine Border Festival is underway with the Piano discipline being held April 610. It was a full week for adjudicator Eleanore McLeod. Next week, Vocal/Choral take place April 13, 14 and 15 at the Deloraine Theatre. The adjudicator is Trish Reimer. Also next week, the Visual Arts discipline will take place on April 16 and 17 at Deloraine School with adjudicator Gerry Oliver. Be sure to check out these venues and support the arts!

The consultants spent 1.5 days in January visiting schools, meeting with staff and observing funded students. The purpose of the review was to verify the attendance and continued eligibility of funded students, review our IEP process and policies, to follow up on goals set during the previous review, and to discuss plans for future planning. Consultants reported that our funded students’ attendance and eligibility are secure, all goals set during the previous review have been met, and appropriate policies are in place.
IEP development using CLEVR was noted, including highlights of classroom teachers acting as case managers, appropriate parental involvement and opportunity for involvement, and consistent, ongoing documentation of student growth. They commended our staff for their team approach to meeting students’ needs including the use of class and student profiles, TAG groups, transition practises from year to year, regular meetings with Senior Administration, and our use of data. The Consultants expressed appreciation for our work in building trust and respect within our schools through Restitution training. Next steps include: • Clarity in the writing of student goals on IEPs. • Continue to support staff in the use of data to plan for inclusion.

Congratulations to all of our students who played hard, entertained their fans, and represented their schools.

Welcome to Kindergarten - In the past our schools have hosted an annual Kindergarten Screening day during which time new Kindergarten students are invited to the classroom to get to know their teacher, classroom and school, and vice versa. This year students and parents will attend a Welcome to Kindergarten Session in each of our schools. Groups of students will have the opportunity to play and
explore in the classroom with their teacher while other students will meet one on one with the resource teacher, school psychologist, SLP, Student Services Coordinator or Superintendent and complete the Early Years Evaluation Tool (EYE Assessment). Kindergarten teachers will arrange a follow up meeting with each parent in order to share the results of this developmental assessment and provide suggestions for parents to use during the summer months with their child. It is our intent that parents will gain a clearer understanding of their child’s developmental needs and how these might best be addressed through play. ELA Curriculum - A draft of the new ELA Curriculum (K-8) is currently available and a draft for 9-12 ELA is still in progress. This new curriculum will be piloted in a few divisions in the fall of 2015. PROJECT 11 - Inspired and created in honor of Rick Rypien #11, former player of the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose, PROJECT 11 is available to support students in Grades 5 to 8 with virtual tutorials educating students of positive mental health. PROJECT 11 is an engaging cross-curricular prevention program targeting ELA and PE/Health outcomes. The program entails 15 lesson plans (1/week) and 60 daily activities to help support students and teachers on mental health wellness and bringing positive coping skills into their lives. PROJECT 11 uses concepts such as practicing focusing the mind, increasing self-awareness of feelings and strengths, and building positive relationships. The Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation in partnership with Healthy Child Manitoba asked for Pilot classrooms for the first pilot in February 2015. Shannon Lee, Grade 5/6 teacher in Pierson School applied and was accepted. (Continued on Page 6)

FarmLink Marketing by Marvin Mills No major surprises in seeding intentions or grain stocks The USDA released two key reports on March 31. This first is the Prospective Plantings report, which is the first farmer survey-based report of the year. The survey is done across 84,000 farms during the first two weeks of March. The second is the Quarterly Grain Stocks report, which the industry uses to gauge consumption and ultimately recalibrate anticipated ending stocks for the crop year. Overall the report was mixed with a somewhat bearish lean. Soybean seeded area came in at 84.6 million acres, above last year’s 83.7 million, and a new record high. But this was below the average pre-report estimate of 85.9 million, with
the range stemming from 83.1 million on the low side and 88 million on the high end. Soybean stocks registered at 1.334 billion bushels, just below the consensus. The corn numbers were negative with plantings pegged at 89.32 million, 2% lower than last year, but above the prereport expectations of 88.73 million acres. If realized, this would be the lowest planted area in the US since 2010. Grain stocks also exceeded the average guess of 7.609 billion bushels, with the USDA calculating 7.745 billion bushels of available supplies. These factors together gave corn a decidedly bearish tone. The USDA put all wheat seeded area at 55.4 million acres, down 3% from last year’s 56.822 million acres. There was a very modest upward revi-
sion to the winter wheat seeded area from their previous guess to 40.8 million acres. This is still below last year’s 42.4 million acres. Spring wheat area is roughly unchanged from last year at at 13.0 million acres, but below the average pre-report guess. Durum acres are unsurprisingly higher, up 200,000 to 1.6 million. However, this is below the 1.759 million acres that had been expected. Total old crop wheat stocks came in slightly below estimates at 1.14 billion bushels. The numbers weren’t specifically bearish for wheat, but the market was dragged lower by the negative corn sentiment. In the more minor crops, the oats area is higher at 2.93 million compared to 2.72 million in 2014. Barley acres are forecast to be 3.26 million

vs. just below 3 million last year. Canola acres are set to be down a bit to 1.55 million, while flax is up nearly 30% to 401,000. Sunflower acres are forecast to be higher at 1.786 million, with all of the increase coming in oils, while confectionary types will be down a bit. Dry bean acres are essentially unchanged, while lentil and pea acres are higher. Markets typically react sharply in the immediate aftermath of the news, but will soon settle down and shift the focus to actual seeding progress and weather patterns. In the case of the acreage estimates, even a modest swing in yields quickly offsets any difference in seeded area compared to initial estimates. There will be another seeded area survey released on June 30.

COPA comments on suspension of mandatory rail volumes submitted by Canola Council of Canada The Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (COPA) commented today on the suspension of mandatory volume requirements for rail transportation announced recently by Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Transport Minister Lisa Raitt. COPA supported the establishment of mandatory volume requirements to encourage adequate rail transportation for value added processed products when there was a clear need to do so. COPA continues to support the federal government’s ability to establish volume requirements should rail service deteriorate and compromise the growth and prosperity of the oilseed processing industry. “The minimum volume requirements kick-started increased rail service when it was badly needed,” says Patti Miller, President of the Canola Council of Canada. “If similar circumstances arise, the government’s ability to reinstate mandatory volumes may be required so that Canada can remain a reliable supplier of high quality oil and meal products.” Complementary action by the federal government to facilitate improved rail service for shippers has also enabled oilseed processors to better meet customer needs. Expanding the interswitching distance to 160 km, facilitating improved transparency to measure railway performance, and enabling Service Level Agreements between shippers and railways are positive measures. “Our members are hopeful that the federal government builds upon their efforts to allow shippers to sign meaningful Service Level Agreements with railways,” says Miller. “Holding railways accountable for poor service with financial penalties is essential for commercial relationships that enable oilseed processors to grow.” COPA remains focused on achieving market-driven solutions to transportation concerns through the review of the Canada Transportation Act. Among its recommendations for the review panel led by the Hon. David Emerson, COPA supports the addition of reciprocal penalties within arbitrated Service Level Agreements between shippers and railways, the strengthening of level of service provisions by defining “suitable and adequate” service as that which meets the needs of the shipper, and the extension of limits for interswitching to 160km on a permanent basis. COPA represents the oilseed processing sector in Canada which produces canola and soybean oil and meal and is comprised of seven companies operating thirteen facilities in five provinces. In 2014, member companies processed 7.1 million tonnes of canola and 1.6 million tonnes of soybeans. Exports of oilseed products are highly reliant on rail. In 2014, Canada exported $4.0 billion of oilseed oil and meal products. Value added oilseed processing is expanding in Canada with over $1 billion invested in oilseed plant construction in the last six years, creating economic growth in Canada. The Canola Council of Canada forecasts significant further expansion of processing in the coming years, based on strong international demand.

How to decide what must go from your spring closet (NC) There’s something about spring that makes us want to start over and make changes. Maybe it’s the warmer weather and the idea of switching the parka for a light sports coat, but either way, it’s a time when the dreaded closet cleanout rears its demanding head. Organizing our clothes closet can be extremely liberating however, especially if we finally part with the outdated items from seasons past. You only have one chance to make a first impression, so why not roll up your sleeves and make it a great one with this season’s hottest must haves combined with a mix of classics. Before you start tossing your attire into three pre-determined piles on the floor – conceptually marked toss, keep, or donate – ask yourself: 1. Does this fit?2. Have I worn this in the last 12 months?3. Will I ever wear this again/is it me?4. If it’s damaged will I make the effort to repair it? 5. If I went shopping today, would I buy it again?Now it’s time to clean out that closet. Here’s what you should consider: 1. Comfort is not a four-letter word: I know many a stylist who has cringed at the word comfort when describing a garment, but the reality is that anyone who says clothing and comfort don’t go together is wrong. Your clothes should hug the body, not strangle you. Slim tailoring is great, a tight fit is not. Also, look for breathable fabrics that you won’t want to immediately change out of after a long day’s work – think natural fibres, such as cot-
tons and wools, and lightweight pieces that you can layer. 2. Investing in your wardrobe: Sales are great, no complaints here on getting a bargain, but it’s important to note that not all sales are created equal. Ask yourself before any purchase, “if this was regular price, would I still make the investment?” When you look at your wardrobe you should feel like everything is an investment piece regardless of the price point you paid. It’s always a great idea to invest in a few classic pieces, such as a quality leather jacket and a trench coat, to give your wardrobe some longevity. 3. Colour Correcting: Don’t be afraid of colour this season. With the trend no longer about primary colours you don’t have to be worried about fading trends. Look for some stunning basics that have a much richer colour palette that will last. 4. The Add-on Accessories: Here’s where you can inject some personality into your wardrobe. Find pieces with interesting textures and if you need assistance with this, start with the Abboud Collection at Moores Clothing for Men. Texture is a significant element in that line and it remains the same this season. Think of texture as the new colour palette, but if you’re struggling to make the jump and invest in colour, add character to your wardrobe with accessories instead, It’s an inexpensive way to add an expensive feel to fabrics. When trying to kick your business attire up a notch, pocket squares
are also a creative way to add a punch of colour and texture without being garish. The trick is to have fun with mixing accessories. That said, a tie shouldn’t be the first thing you see about an outfit. 5. Curate: Also remember, keeping things tight (carefully curated I always say) doesn’t mean you’re limiting your outfit options. Don’t be afraid to be selective. Joseph Abboud is chief creative director of Men’s Wearhouse, parent company of Moores Clothing for Men, Canada’s leading national retailer of men’s business attire and tuxedo rentals, with more than 125 stores nationwide. www.newscanada.com
