by Judy Wells In September 2014, Coop partnered with Owens Corning Canada to create the 2014 Win Back Promotion. Customers who purchased Atticat insulation were eligible to enter a draw and win back their money up to $2,500.

This chance became a reality for Rob and Beth Tompsett who won back $1,496.16 from their insulation purchase at Boundary Co-op - Deloraine Home Centre.

There were four other winners in Western Canada including two from Manitoba: two winners from Twin Valley Co-op, one from Kindersley, SK and another from Big River Co-op in Prince Albert.

The timing couldn’t be better for the Tompsetts who recently welcomed triplets into their family.

81st annual Boissevain & Area 4-H Rally

by Judy Wells Rally Day. You never know what the weatherman has in store. Friday, June 5 was the 81st annual Boissevain & Area 4-H Rally and it was a pleasant day - a bit overcast at times but the rain stayed away until around 2:00.

Rally is a deep tradition in the area. The 81st annual rally had 13 clubs in attendance, including Goodlands Variety, Roseland South-Brandon, Pierson Pathfinders, Alexander 4-H Club, Souris Challengers, Dand Belles & Beaux, Deloraine Community 4-H’ers, Boissevain Home & Hobby, Boissevain Beef, Boissevain Boots N’ Bits, Belmont Pony Pals, Archie 4-H Light Horse &

Pony Club (Virden) and Coulter Western Trail Riders.

The Beef Show had only 11 members showing their cattle. Two of those members hail from Deloraine Kyle and Justin Breemersch.

The Horse Show was huge! It’s great to see that when interest wanes in one area, it picks up in another.

The parade was great, too, with all the horse entries.

The horses looked to take up half the parade.

The Home & Hobby portion of the Rally was held in the Curling Rink where the members displayed their projects on the ice surface. As well there were several fun stations set up for the members to enjoy and make creations. Some of the stations included Salsa making,

The morning consisted of workshops and cattle/ horse shows. The noon show followed the parade.

Brett Skeoch, of MAFRI, was the emcee and she expressed appreciation to al the dignitaries and sponsors in attendance. As well, a special thanks to the Turtle Mountain Ag Society and the Ag. Society ladies for their work on the grounds and the food booth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair bit of prep work ahead of time for the noon show to happen - setting parade routes, getting (Continued on Page 3)

Page 3, Deloraine Times & Star, Deloraine, MB, June 12, 2015

81st annual Boissevain & Area 4-H Rally (Continued from Page 1) permits and much more. The Rally Committee would like to thank Jaycee Crowe for her coordination and support with the noon show,” said Skeoch.

Riley Workman, past member of the Boissevain Beef Club was the guest speaker. He told of how 4-H has continued to help him in life even after no longer being an active club member. In fact, he said he just completed the most important interview of his life and was thrilled to have been accepted into med school. Riley said 4-H prepared him most importantly by the public speaking portion. As well, completing projects, taking offices, working together, and much more.

Some of the MAFRI staff in attendance were acknowledged, including Joanne Baker, Meghan Sprung, and Janelle Grieve. These ladies facilitated a workshop and lead some recreation and leadership activities for all Multi-Purpose 4-H’ers.

Nine 4-H members were interviewed for the Southwest Area 4-H Council Scholarship.

Of these applicants, three are going into law, two into nursing and a couple into teaching.

“The winner this year is a dedicated member who has also taken on the role of leader for her Club. She is currently president of the Area Council and is also a representative to the Manitoba 4-H Council. Congratulations to Jennifer Wright, of Hartney 4-H Club, this year’s winner of the $500 scholarship,” announced Skeoch.

There were two gold watch winners this year: Madison Edwards, Deloraine Community 4-H’ers. This recipient has been a member for 10 year. Some of the skills she learned in those 10 years among many others, include leadership, public speaking, meeting management, working with younger members, cooking, crafts, and much more. In her Club, she continually makes an effort to help out the younger members with projects, skills, or whatever else she can. Outside of 4-H Madison enjoys being active on school committees, painting, cooking, sports and volunteering for Christmas Cheer. When asked what she liked best about participating in 4-H some of her responses were: “the fact that it’s member based, meeting new people, travelling, rally, the fun events and all the projects there are to choose from.” As a graduating 4-H member Madi’s plans for next year are to attend the University of Manitoba - Asper School of Business, to obtain a Bachelor of Commerce.

The other member receiving a gold watch was Jacquie Crowe.

Jacquie Crowe has been a member for 10 years; as a senior member she has been very active in the 4-H program and within multiple clubs. In her Club she has held numerous offices, which she feels develops good skills for life, including administration, and financial.

She has gone to Zones multiple times for public speaking. Outside of 4-H, Jacquie works part- time, takes an active role in her schools student government and Social Justice Group, curls, plays volleyball and is a member of the rifle club. When asked why she felt 4-H was important, her responses included, “Building skills for life, meeting people, broadening horizons and it offers experiences.” As a graduating 4-H member her plans are to attend Brandon University to work towards a Bachelors of Arts.

A new and exciting addition to Rally this year were MNP bursaries. Nicole Hooper of MNP was on hand to present these bursaries to Ryan Kinley (Boissevain Boots N’ Bits); Jenna Paterson (Boissevain Beef), Shawna Weir (Boissevain Home & Hobby), Madison Edwards (Deloraine Community 4-H’ers), Carlee Edwards (Deloraine Community 4-H’ers), Lara Teetaert (Deloraine Community 4-H’ers), Jacquie Crowe (Dand Belles & Beaux) and Katie Meggison (Goodlands Variety).

Following the noon show, Jake Weidenhamer, former Boissevain Rally gold watch winner, coordinated games for all the clubs to interact and enjoy some good 4-H team building.

As a university student, Jake was co-founder of an organization called: Physical Education & Activity Leadership PEDAL Inc., which promotes physical education and leadership.

Odds & Ends

Friday Night Lights - a thrill for ball team On Friday, June 5, the Deloraine Mosquito Royals travelled to Brandon to take part in the “Friday Night Lights Baseball Series”. The Series gives rural Westman kids a chance to go into Brandon and play a baseball game under the lights against a Brandon team. The start time of the game was pushed back to about 8:30 pm. The lights turned on in the third inning as it started to get dark. Deloraine was slow out of the gates but battled back to defeat the Brandon Pirates by a score of 13-5. One of the Deloraine players remarked after the game that this had been the best night of his life. Front row (L-R): Skylar Mitchler, Aiden Revet, Billy Adams, Dayton Roy.

Royals continue to tread water

by Jake Weidenhamer The Royals wrapped up the third week of the SWBL with another split, losing to the Hartney Hoppers on Friday night by a score of 4-0 and defeating the Hamiota Red Sox on Sunday 11-3.

Friday’s match up saw two of the leagues top pitchers go head to head with Jeff Edwards getting the start for the Royals and Mark Derlago on the mound for the Hoppers. This pitchers matchup featured only seven combined hits, the Royals getting hits from Marc Edwards, Cole Olson, and David Hodgson. The Hoppers scored one in the third inning and as the Royals failed to even the score the Hoppers scored three more in the sixth.

On Sunday, the Royals travelled to Hamiota to finish the second half of the home and home with the Red Sox. Mitch Olson started for the Royals going the complete game, allowing three runs on ten hits while striking out eight Chris Robinson took the loss for the Red Sox. Offensively the Royals were led by Cole Olson with a single and two doubles. Andrew Vercainge, Ben Weidenhamer, and Jake Weidenhamer all had two hits for the Royals.

The Royals handed the Red Sox their second loss of the season, both coming from the Royals.

After five games, the Royals have a record of three wins and two losses, tied with the Boissevain Centennials and Virden Oilers and sit 1.5 games behind the Hartney Hoppers. For any and all things SWBL you can go to the league website ballcharts.com/SWBL.

Well, we’ve gone a few days without rain. Yippee!

But how about those mosquitoes, eh? Makes just running from the house to the car an Olympic event. Let’s hope for the dragonflies to multiply as fast as the skitters.

• • • The annual 4-H Rally was held last Friday. It was a good day, the rain stayed away until early afternoon. The cattle show was way down in entries with only 11 members participating. However, the horse show was huge and the Home & Hobby remains strong as well. A big shout out to all the members, leaders and parents for keeping the 4-H tradition.

Senior members who have graduated often talk about how 4-H has helped them in the “big, old world”.

• • • There’s exciting news for Deloraine’s Farmer’s Market. This program is now part of a Deloraine Winchester Recreation Program. A subcommittee has been formed to look at ways to expand and market the Farmer’s Market for the community.

Changes happening this year include the location which will be at the Park. This provides a much safer venue as far as cars coming and going. The Farmer’s Market will operate on Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. from July 9 to September 24. As the rules state, no vendor will open earlier than the market. A bell will ring to signify market is open.

Interested vendors are advised to go to www.deloraine.org/deloraine-winchester-farmersmarket/ to view the rules and regulations, download a registration form, view a Deloraine Winchester Farmer’s Market map and also view the Province of Manitoba Farmer’s Market guidelines.

It is hoped non-profits will take advantage of the opportunity to hold barbecues at the Farmer’s Market. For more information, call Recreation Director Liza Park at 204-747-3668.

• • • Doesn’t the new MNP building look impressive.

It’s been interesting to watch the progress from the beginning.

• • • Also in recreation news, a soccer camp will be offered in August for ages 4 - 16. The link to register is www.deloraine.org/british-soccercamp-aug-17-21-ages-4-16/ • • • It’s almost time for Graduation celebrations.

Deloraine School’s grad is June 24. Check out this week’s edition for the special Graduation section.

Janice Ginter celebrates 50th submitted by Dawn Minne Anyone who knows Janice Ginter’s story is aware of her incredible courage and tenacity against huge challenges and adversity. Janice is a true inspiration to all.

The following is a brief history of Janice’s life.

Appreciation is extended to Dawn Minne for sharing this with our readers: “My sister Janice turns 50 on Saturday, June 6. We are having a Fiesta 50 birthday party for her because after all the hurdles she has gone through in life she deserves a fun time.

“Janice was born three Janice Ginterʼs friends and family gathered on June 6 to help her celebrate months premature in her 50th birthday. Janice has faced many challenges in those 50 years but 1965 and spent 109 days she remains upbeat and positive. There were over 30 guests at the party. in an incubator. Her small Janiceʼs family managed to keep the party a surprise for the most part. size resulted in her nickPictured (L-R): Mary Dobroski, Cheryl Redden and Dawn Minne, and Janice name “Peanut”, which front and center.

PHOTO/COURTESY DAWN MINNE many people still call her today. As a result of being in the incubator so long, the oxygen burnt the retina endings leaving her blind in the right eye and only 10% vision in the left. That didn’t stop her from travelling and thinking that if you can do it, so can I. “In 1999, she had the ependymoma tumor removed that left her as a vent dependent quad. She caused a rucus in the medicial community when she was insistent that she was returning home to Waskada to live. She has been living at home since 2001. The tumor returned and in November 2013, it was removed and she was back home one week later.

“In this time Janice has remained active in raising her daughter Grace. Janice has such a memory and is quite the storyteller and is good at making people laugh.

So no tea and cake for Janice, it’s margueritas and jalapeno poppers! Happy birthday, Janice!

Meet some of the new crop pest threats to Manitoba As if the list of pests affecting our crops is not long enough, there are more that have recently moved into Manitoba or are very close. Here are three important ones.

Cereal Leaf Beetle Cereal leaf beetle was first observed in Alberta in 2005, Saskatchewan in 2008 and in the northwest region of Manitoba in 2009. Since 2009, this pest has expanded its territory across Manitoba. It was found in the Killarney, Pilot Mound and Holland areas in 2013.

As the name suggests, the cereal leaf beetle is primarily a cereal plant feeder that consumes a wide range of cereals and grasses. It prefers oat, barley, wheat, rye, timothy, fescue, grain sorghum and corn. Crop yield and quality are reduced due to lost photosynthetic activity resulting from the feeding damage.

The cereal leaf beetle has a single generation per year. The adult and larvae feed on the plant leaves and chew long strips of tissue between the leaf veins. Adults can eat through the leaf completely while the larvae eat the upper leaf surface and leave a thin membrane of tissue. Severe feeding damage can look like frost damage because leaves look whitish.

Feeding at the flag leaf stage is most damaging to crop yield.

Producers should monitor cereal crops in the spring by looking for adult cereal leaf beetle feeding injury. This scouting will provide an early indication of infestations.

Continue crop scouting throughout the spring and summer, before and during the boot stage, to assess for cereal leaf beetle abundance.

Action or economic threshold levels have not been determined for Alberta, but are established in Montana and North Dakota. In Alberta, cereal leaf beetle has not reached economic thresholds. Growers are cautioned to avoid unnecessary insecticide application as long as the parasitic wasp, Tetrastichus julis, continues to keep the beetle’s population low, thus highlighting the importance of only spraying at economic threshold levels.

In Montana and North

Work begins on new water plant in Deloraine Construction has begun on the new water plant in Deloraine. The existing plant doesnʼt meet current Provincial standards so a new plant was in order. Funding for the new plant will be cost shared three ways between Federal, Provincial, and Municipal governments. The water tower and existing plant are pictured right. Below: Tim Vandenberghe is pictured digging. Ron Cassils is pictured as well.

PHOTOS/JUDY WELLS

Dakota, economic thresholds are an average combined total of three eggs and larvae per tiller before the boot stage. At the flag leaf stage, the economic threshold is an average of one larva per flag leaf.

Larvae are the target for insecticide treatment.

Clubroot in canola Clubroot, caused by Plamodiophora brassicae, is a serious disease of cruciferous crops including canola, mustard, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and rutabaga (all part of the mustard family).

In 2013, two fields in Manitoba were identified and confirmed as showing clubroot symptoms in crops. In addition, the presence of clubroot DNA has been detected in multiple fields. Currently,

there is a province wide survey of clubroot that started in fall 2014 as an initiative of the Manitoba Canola Growers and the Manitoba government.

The goal of the survey is to have one sample from a field in every township where agriculture is practiced in Manitoba. Survey sites are volunteered by growers or secured by contacting growers in specific areas that lack sampling sites. A map of the results from the survey should be available on the http://www.mbpestlab.ca .

The map will be updated regularly as more survey results become available.

Clubroot resting spores can survive in the soil for as long as twenty years.

These spores are released from the galls that form

on the roots of susceptible hosts after infection. The spores germinate to produce zoospores which infect the root hairs of the next susceptible plants grown in the soil. Disease development is favoured (Continued on Page 8) Deloraine/Winchester

Meet some of the new crop pest threats to Manitoba (Continued from Page 7) by high soil moisture and soil temperatures between 18 C and 25 C. As with many root diseases, the aboveground symptoms include wilting, stunting, chlorosis of leaf tissue and premature ripening. The symptoms indicate that the plant is undergoing water and nutrient stress due to a problem with the root system.

The belowground symptoms differentiate clubroot from other root diseases. Roots of clubroot-infected plants will form galls and swellings, giving them a clubshaped appearance. Initially, the galls will be firm and white on the inside but as they mature they turn peat brown and begin to decompose.

Clubroot is spread through movement of infested soil.

Therefore, reducing soil movement through proper sanitation is crucial in limiting or preventing the spread of clubroot on and between farms. Most soil is transferred on farm equipment such as tractors and cultivators, but vehicles, boots, tools and storage containers can also carry enough soil to spread the clubroot pathogen.

Along with reducing soil movement, crop rotations of at least three years between canola crops and good weed management of alternate hosts, such as stinkweed, shepherd’s purse and wild mustard, will decrease the likelihood of clubroot establishing in a field. In addition, these techniques will prevent heavier infestations from developing where clubroot is already present at low or undetected levels. The use of clubroot resistant varieties is an important part of an integrated pest management plan when clubroot has been confirmed in your area.

With all disease issues, scouting is one of the most important management tools a grower can use.

Symptoms of clubroot are often initially observed at the entrance to a field, so basic scouting should be done at these locations. Growers should consider situations where transfer of soil may have occurred such as the purchase of used field equipment, the use of custom operators or traffic from recreational vehicles. If suspicious symptoms are observed, plant samples can be sent to the Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) Crop Diagnostic Centre. Your local MAFRD office can assist with sending samples to the lab.

Soybean Cyst Nematode According to the North Dakota State University, the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines is the most important soybean pathogen in the United States.

It was first reported in Minnesota in 1978 and in South Dakota in 1995. It now occurs in western Minnesota counties and in the northern counties of South Dakota bordering North Dakota. More recently SCN was found in North Dakota and keeps progressing northward and closer to Manitoba. It has not yet been found in Manitoba, but it is being watched closely in the Red River Valley.

Although above-ground symptoms of SCN damage are common, especially at high populations of nematodes in the soil, they are highly varied and can be confused with other causes such as iron deficiency, high pH, soil compaction, nutrient deficiency, chemical injury or root rots. Yellowing of the foliage (chlorosis) in July or August, stunting of plants, thin stands and slow closing of rows are observed.

Symptoms may first occur near field entrances, vehicle and storage areas in the field, compacted headlands, along fence rows where windblown soil accumulates, on the tops of knolls or in low or flooded areas.

The most definitive characteristic of SCN is the presence of the swollen female nematode on the roots. If the plant is dug from the soil (not pulled up) and the soil carefully removed from the roots, the whitish, cream colored to yellowish, lemon-shaped nematodes (about one millimetre in diameter) on the root surface are visible.

The nematode feeding in the roots disrupts the normal physiology of the soybean plant and results in disease.

SCN is easily spread from infested to non-infested fields through contaminated field equipment, in wind-blown or water-carried soil, by animals or by small clumps of soil in seed harvested from infested fields. Preventing the infestation of fields should be the first step in managing this pathogen. Stopping or slowing the spread of SCN can prevent losses in future years.

Step 2 program winds up

by Judy Wells The Step 2 program in Deloraine has been running for 5 plus years. Stacey Vanbeselaere was the facilitator for the first few years and the program is now being facilitated by Kerry McRuer.

The program runs from October to May and the goal is to hold 16 - two hour sessions in each community (every other week/x2 / month). The focus is on rhymes, book sharing, parent/child activity, parent discussion time and free play for children.

The program is free for parents and their preschool aged children 0-5.

Step 2 is a program under the umbrella of PROMISE Years Coalition. Step 2 has been running in the PROMISE Years catchment area for eight years. The program was delivered in nine communities this past year including Boissevain, Deloraine, Killarney, Reston, Virden, Elkhorn, Kola, Melita, Souris and starting in the fall it will be delivered in Cartwright, Glenboro, and Hartney as well.

There’s a very meaningful message in the PROMISE Years brochure: Message for my child:

You matter, you matter absolutely Whatever happens, we’ll get through it together I pick you, I chose you, I love you You matter more than any mistake I make You matter more than any mistake you make I will be bigger, stronger, wiser, kinder, because “You matter, you matter absolutely” Their Vision: Building capacity in parents, children and families for optimal child development, leading to a healthy region.

Their Mission: To provide equitable opportunities for parents and children in our region to develop to their fullest potential, with emphasis on the prenatal period and early childhood, from birth to school age.

It’s a win-win for parents and children. The kids learn, have fun, interact and play and the parents get time to connect with other parents.

The program will pick up again in the fall.

Sprays work through contact and ingestion, and are therefore more effective when flea beetles are on top of leaves and exposed to direct contact.

Waskada School Drama presents “The Masked Musketeer”

by Judy Wells “Who is that masked man?” So wondered the cast of the Waskada School Drama when they presented “The Masked Musketeer” on Thursday, May 28.

The dinner theatre included dinner at 6:00 and the play at 7:00 in the school MPR. A delicious dinner of meatballs, rice, asparagus and coleslaw was catered by the Waskada Early Learning Centre and served by the actors. Between Act One and Act Two, scrumptious servings of homemade ice cream desserts were served.

The play was produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, Inc. Englewood, Colorado and the local talent of director Erin Anderson.

As said by one patron, “The kids were fantastic Ms Anderson just seems to be able to pull it out of them.” Indeed, the actors knew their parts well, spoke clearly and delivered humorous antics right on cue.

Here’s a production synopsis of the play: “The Masked Musketeer has it all - comedy, action, romance, and mystery. The men of a small Spanish village are called to Madrid by the King, leaving behind only the women, one town

elder, and three unruly “boys”. It doesn’t take long for the village to be overrun with bandits, so the lazy Lorenzo, Mateo, and Felipe take it upon themselves to become musketeers. Easier said than done. These wannabe swash bucklers are more like knee bucklers, and they can’t even get the saying right! (All for one and all for one).

Meanwhile, the town is coping with their own problems: poor saloon owner Lucia must deal with the bandits drinking all the town’s Sarsaparilla; Sanchez doesn’t have anyone to chop his firewood; and Corina is busy preparing for her wedding but still needs a groom.

The villagers grow discouraged until a masked musketeer swoops into help Mateo and his compadres fight off the bandits before mysteriously disappearing. When the bandits find out the town

has a hidden treasure, they take a hostage demanding to have it and the masked musketeer deliver to them. . .or else!

The Cast Villagers: Mateo - George Gervin; Lorenzo Garrett Sambrook; Felipe Nicholas Gardiner; Catalina - Beth Brown; Isabel Shelby Vanbeselaere; Delfina - Cassidy Decorte; Silvia - Josie Meggison; Corina - Haley Wickham; Marcia - Jade Lefebvre; Sanchez - Roger Gibson; Lucia - Krista Gervin; Lolita - Trisha Matchett; Mariana Grace Ginter.
