TMCD hosts project tour by Judy Wells On July 7, Turtle Mountain Conservation District (TMCD) hosted a bus tour of several of its projects. This was in lieu of TMCD’s annual banquet. Approximately 35 people including TMCD staff enjoyed the tour. Yasemin Keeler, TMCD manager, was the tour conductor. The first stop was the Adair Dam or Dooley’s Coulee Retention Facility, as it was formerly known. This project was constructed in 1985 and was designed as a water retention facility to provide flood protection, erosion control and wildlife habitat. The dam has a permanent water storage capacity of 20 acrefeet on 27 acres of land and a flood detention storage of 1200 acre-feet. The earthfill dam has an emergency spillway and a culvert spillway that can be operated manually to draw down the dam each fall to allow for spring water storage. “The ravine filled up six times in 2005,” said landowner Keith Vanbeselaere. In 2014 some minor repairs were done on the spillway. The storage area was drained to alleviate pressure on the spillway. The repairs included the creation of a berm to help direct the flow of water off the sensitive areas of the spillway repair and allow it to have a chance to establish and mature. A little history: In 1994 a wildlife block planting was established on approximately five acres and in 1998 the wildlife block planting was expanded. “We are seeing a lot more wildlife now. We never used to see deer but now we do,” said Keith Vanbeselaere.
In 1996, the TMCD subdivided this quarter in order to protect an existing school cairn (Berry Hill) and a remnant of 41 acres of mixed grass prairie habitat. In 1999, the area was fenced and the TMCD began a managed grazing demonstration project at the Adair pasture and it has continued ever since. Cattle are allowed to graze from June 1 to August 31 in a once over grazing system consisting of three or more paddocks. Pasture is tendered out every two years. Two small dugouts were constructed in the two most northerly paddocks in 2002. Next stop was the McGee Frost-Free Nose Pump system. In 2010, McGee Livestock Ltd. lost a cow because the water was too low, so they looked at alternate watering systems. “We rigged up a solar system but found we have too many cows for that - it was only good until noon and it was too expensive for more panels,” said Dallas. They found out about the frost-free nose pumps made in Rigby, AB and decided to put in that system in the fall of 2012. This system requires no power and works all year round. One pump is needed for 100 cows or 50 pair. This system allows them to bale graze and keep their cattle herd out in pasture until mid March until calving starts in April when they are moved up to the yard. Benefits realized include: • Reduction in manure management costs - cattle are out bale grazing as opposed to being concentrated up at the farm yard; • Cleaner source of water for the cattle now with the dugout being fenced off which also increases the
integrity of the dugout banks, reducing erosion and sedimentation • The system saves the McGee’s time by no longer having to cut holes in the ice and take the risk of cattle falling through as well. “I don’t need to do anything to the vertical culvert unless the temperature is below -20°, then all I do is give the wall a few hits with the hammer and it’s good to go,” said McGee. The cows themselves make this system fully operational by pushing the nose pump which pumps the water. It’s a simple mechanical piston pump that draws water from a relatively shallow water source that’s in the ground below the frost zone. “It takes the cattle a few tries before they catch on, it’s a bit of a steep learning curve. But it doesn’t take them long to figure it out they can smell the water and so they persist. And the calves learn from the cows,” added McGee. The vertical culvert and supply line that runs to it from the dugout are insulated with 2” foam. A concrete pad is around each system which helps keep the cattle from puncturing any lines. “McGee Livestock Ltd. Dallas and Sonja McGee and family were the TMCD Conservation Award winners in 2013 and they implement a number of conservation practices on their farm,” said Keeler, TMCD manager. The tour continued on into the Turtle Mountain. Keeler pointed out the Weidenhamer Backflood on Gord Weidenhamer’s land. “This project was identified as a water storage option during the Water Needs and Surface Water Management Assessment
Study conducted by Genivar Environmental Consultants,” said Keeler. The quarter section has become a large temporary storage area by placing a control structure in the ditch. An un-gated 18” culvert, dyked along the quarter, backs water up onto pastureland slowing the flow of Medora Creek. “It’s main purpose is to provide a large temporary storage volume for flood protection for the Town of Deloraine and downstream area. The project was completed in the fall of 2010 and flood capacity for the backflood is 30 acre-feet,” added Keeler. Landowner Gord Weidenhamer saw firsthand the affects of the 2005 flood and decided to get involved. He knew the water coming off the Turtle Mountain needed to be slowed down as the natural water retention in the Turtle Mountain was gone. “This project is good for a one in 50 year flood and in the dry years it is good for irrigation,” said Weidenhamer. On the way to the next stop, Keeler pointed out a sign for the Danny Bussman Abandoned Farmstead Program. TMCD had an Abandoned Farmstead Program in 2007 which recognized landowners who had chosen to keep abandoned farm sites on their land. The preservation of these sites provides wildlife habitat, better ground water quality and allows future generations to experience historical farmstead in the area. Participating landowners were eligible to have their abandoned wells sealed free of charge. These wells are potential hazards to people and are sources of ground water contami-
nation. It is important to seal them properly. Next stop was L6. “L6 is a dry dam which was built in 1990. It is built to the south of a municipal road in the Medora Creek Sub-district. The dam was built with the purpose of livestock watering as well as flood mitigation, slowing the water down before entering the Town of Deloraine, as well as erosion control within the Medora Creek tributary,” said Keeler. L6 temporarily stores up to 325 acre-feet of water which is emptied through a drop-inlet culvert. The total drainage area is six square miles. The next project Keeler pointed out was the Dennis Andries Water Storage Project which was built in 1995-96 for the purpose of livestock watering. “The water storage area is at the headwaters of the Medora Creek sub-watershed where we’re currently on its watershed boundary for the next two miles we’re driving and then we’ll enter the Turtlehead
Creek Sub-watershed where its water eventually makes its way into Whitewater Lake,” added Keeler. The final project stop was Bob Gustafson’s Water Storage which was originally built in 2001 for inchannel water storage for livestock and wildlife purposes. “The length of the flooded area is 650 m or just under 1/2 mile, with rocks protecting the face of the dam for wave action and erosion. The width at the top of the spillway is 1m or 36 feet, it is sown to grass and armoured with rock. Spillway repairs were completed this spring, where rock was added to the spillway. The water backs into Silver Lake,” said Keeler. The tour wound up with a delicious barbecue lunch at Newcomb’s Hollow. TMCD Board honoured its members with a beautiful mantle clock.

Royals sweep Hartney in first round by Jake Weidenhamer The first round of SWBL playoffs had the #2 Hartney Hoppers against the #7 Deloraine Royals. Game one on Friday night in Hartney saw Mitch Olson on the mound for the Royals against Mark Derlago of the Hoppers. Olson was dialed in, pitching the complete game allowing just one run in the bottom of the 7th inning. Mitch allowed just five hits to three different players while striking out four batters. The Royals opened the scoring in the 6th inning when Olson took Derlago deep to left field for a solo homerun, putting the Royals up 1-0. The Royals added another run in the top of the 7th when Olson walked with the bases loaded to cross the second run of the game. This walk, with the bases loaded, proved to be the difference. In the bottom of the 7th, the Hoppers were able to score just one run, failing to comeback ending the game at 2-1 Royals. The Royals had seven hits off Derlago from six different players while Mitch Olson had two RBIs. With the Royals winning on the road, they had the chance to close out the series on Monday night in front of the home crowd. Jeff Edwards was on the mound looking to earn the win for the Royals, while the Hoppers put their season in the hands of Trevor Derlago. The Royals got on the board early with two runs in the 1st inning. Hartney answered with two of their own in the 3rd and each team added a run in the 5th. In the 6th, Mitch Dillabough hit a double to centerfield and would later score after a pair of pass balls. This 4th run stood up as the decider in a 4-3 Royals win, completing the sweep. Jeff Edwards threw five innings allowing three runs but David Hodgson earned the win for the Royals pitching two scoreless innings. The Royals advance to take on the top seeded Boissevain Centennials in a best of five, second round series. Dates for the games have not yet been determined but can be found at www.ballcharts.com once decided. The second round will start following the weekend as the league breaks for the Senior AA All-star tournament which will be held in Brandon. The Royals will be represented by Cole and Mitch Olson on the Southwest Allstar team. Good luck, boys, and thank you to our fans for the continued great support.

*254<*7.3, +&72*78 ` Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions. A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; operating in the same environment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field. This summer, such a place will exist. Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride and drivesâ&#x20AC;? and smaller equipment demos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,â&#x20AC;? says Show Director Rob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.â&#x20AC;? What does an outdoor show look like? The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.
PHOTOS/JUDY WELLS
The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides. Now in its 22nd year, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.
Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace. To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca. Live Demos and Interactive Exhibits The number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

At a designated point, there will be a “Melita Banana Days fire drill” where the person on the bed will have to get off the bed, take off their pjjamas and give them to the next person, where they have to put the pyjamas on properly and get back on the bed then continue onto the halfway point. In the second half of the race there will be another “fire drill” where the team has to completely change the sheet on the bed. The competition will then continue on to the finish line. The Ultimate Banana Belt Experience will also take place at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. During the challenge, teams will have a list of 100 tasks to try to complete in 100 minutes.
The team that successfully completes the most tasks with the most points will win a grand prize of $1,000! Other attractions at the Banana Statue Site on Saturday will include a petting zoo, bouncy houses, fire truck and RCMP display, free banana splits, and much more. Starting at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, the Melita Mud Bog Committee will be hosting their annual Mud Bog behind Souris Valley Processors. Free bird house building will be held in the afternoon at Morrow Park, and at 3:00 p.m., a free movie will be held at the Strand Theatre. The show will be The Three Stooges (2012) starring Sean Hayes and Will Sasso. The free movie will be followed by a Burrowing Owl presentation and craft. On top of all these fun events, the evening will be rounded
out with an 18 plus social at the Melita Legion Hall. The fun continues on Sunday with a Pancake Breakfast at the Melita Curling Club, a Slo-Pitch Tournament, 3 & 83 Car Show, Street Hockey Tournament, Duck Race, and much more. President of the Melita Banana Days Committee, Camiel Serruys, said that Banana Days is “an event like no other that brings friends and family out for three days of excitement, with many businesses preparing for a busy weekend and everyone in the community ready to lend a hand.” He also added that he hopes to see even more people out this year at Banana Days 2015. If you would like more information about any of the events, you can contact Camiel at 204-5226538. See a full event listing in this edition of the Border Connection.

CARDS OF THANKS Huys: Gerard (Slim) and Joy - A huge thank you to everyone who extended their hearts to us at the time of Dadʼs passing July 8, 2012 and Momʼs passing June 18, 2015. To the nursing and support staff at Bren Del Wyn Courts and Lodge, your never ending kindness, support and hugs were a great comfort to us. We wish to thank everyone for their visits, baking, food trays and those who made donations in Mom and Dadʼs memory to the various organizations. We also want to thank the church choir, “Lord of the Dance” was one hymn our parents really enjoyed. Father Paul, a great job on the services, especially Dadʼs as you hadnʼt had a chance to get to know him and for “Send Your Best Angel For Momma.” It had many of us in tears. It meant a lot to us that you could be there with Mom during her last moments. Thank you also to the CWL and the Legion Auxiliary for lunch after both services, and to the pallbearers for taking them to their final resting places. Mom and Dad loved their flowers so thank you for the arrangements, they were beautiful. And last, but not least, to Smith Funeral Home and Wheatland Funeral Services, your caring and compassion during a difficult time will never be forgotten. And Rachel, we donʼt know what we would have done without you these past three years, you were there for Mom when we couldnʼt be. Thank you everyone, you will forever be in our hearts. Earl, Marcel, Paul, Evelyn, Catherine, Richard, Theresa and families

The Greatest Parents On Earth I will never take for granted how greatly I’ve been blessed; For when it comes to parents, Mom and Dad, you are the best! You nurtured and protected me and taught me with great care. And every time I’ve needed you, you were always there. If you could look into my heart how quickly you would see, The special place you hold there, and how much you mean to me. May you receive the blessings you are so deserving of For your caring, and your sharing, and each sacrifice of love. And may you carry in your hearts these words forever true… No parents anywhere on earth could be more loved than you. Much too loved to be forgotten ~ Jason, Jodie & Sydney Robin, Shane & Bailey

OBITUARY Together Forever
VANDAELE - In loving memory of our dad and Petje, Glenn Vandaele, who passed away July 20, 2000. He never looked for praise He was never one to boast He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken His wants were very few And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too. He was there...A firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold on to In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings The man that we called Dad. ~ Always in our hearts and forever missed, Wendy & Rob, Colleen & Keven, Jody & Curtis, Evan and Grant, Jenna & Taylor and Arya, Tara
VANDAELE - In loving memory of my dear husband, Glenn Vandaele, who passed away July 20, 2000. I am sending a dove to heaven With a parcel on its wings. Be careful when you open it, It’s full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, Wrapped up in a million hugs To say how much I miss you And to send you all my love. I hold you close within my heart And there you will remain To walk with me throughout my life Until we meet again. ~ Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by your wife Lorraine.
Walking program creates many benefits HUYS Gerard Joseph (Slim) born to Louis and Pharilda Huys April 13, 1925 in LaFleshe, SK, passed away at Deloraine Personal Care Home July 8, 2012. Laid to rest July 13, 2012. Theresa Joy (Pinfold) born to Roy and Evelyn Pinfold June 16, 1927 in the Davyroid District near Assiniboia, SK, passed away at Bren Del Wyn Lodge June 18, 2015. Mom and Dad married July 18, 1945 at Assiniboia, SK. In the fall of that year they moved to Deloraine to start working on the farm in the Grove School District, eventually buying that farm, where together they raised a variety of crops as well as running a dairy herd. This is where they raised their family of 7 children. They were involved in the district, with Dad sitting on the School Board and Mom helping out with the Christmas concerts. In the tougher years, Dad worked construction, building elevators and bridges. They had strong work ethics and valued the dollar. A tool or implement was not redundant until it could no longer be repaired or used for parts. There was always a big garden, and home canned fruits, vegetables and jams and lots of baking. Mom was a very good seamstress and made many of the girls clothes and special dresses for special occasions, including the oldest daughterʼs wedding dress. She was always mending shirts and jeans and darning socks. Two pairs of Momʼs knit mitts worn together were warmer than any store bought mitts. The farm was sold in 1978 and they moved into Deloraine. They enjoyed life to the fullest. Dad was an avid curler and enjoyed bonspiels. Dad enjoyed hunting and passed that on to the boys. They enjoyed fishing, both winter and summer. Dad was a member of the Elks and served 2 years as Exalted Ruler. Mom served as president of the Legion Auxiliary. They were staunch supporters of the Catholic Church and were generous to organizations supporting the community. Many special occasions were spent both in the house on the farm and in town, from special anniversaries to Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. They were the happiest when most of the kids, grand kids and eventually great-grand kids would come home and Dad would be at the helm of the merriment, trying to see whose leg he could pull and Mom would be providing an unending supply of food. Mom and Dad were predeceased by their parents, 5 of Dadʼs brothers and 2 of their wives, 3 sisters and Momʼs brother and his wife and her brother-in-law and 2 sisters in infancy. They will be lovingly remembered by their children Earl, Marcel, Paul (Julie), Evelyn (Art), Catherine, Richard (Tina) and Theresa (Cory). They were special grandparents to Liz (Gord), Chris (Mark), Chad (Lorie), Krista (Kendall), Melissa (Taylor), Brayden and Grandpa-papa and Grandma-nana to Cameron, William, Brooklyn, Spencer and Aaliyah. They will also be missed by Dadʼs sister Dora Workman and her husband Mac, sisters-in-law Betty, Estelle and Evelyn Huys, Momʼs sister Norma Taylor and numerous nieces and nephews. Mass of Christian burial was held in St. Antoninus Catholic Church with interment in Bren-Win Cemetery, Deloraine. The twinkle in Dad’s eye and Mom’s quick smile and sense of humour are gone but will never be forgotten.
by Judy Wells Staying active is important at any age. The residents of Delwynda Court in Deloraine started a walking program on May 6. On Friday, July 10, they celebrated reaching their goal of walking the distance to Brandon. “They love it,” said Carolyn Tallack, charge nurse at Delwynda.
“We received walk ing kits from MB Healthy Living For Seniors. The kits included pedometers so we can easily track the distance the residents have walked. And believe me, they make sure their steps are counted. “They even ask to walk now when it isn’t a walking day.” Many benefits have
been noted including improved mental and spiritual outlook, increased strength, and decrease in falls. “We’ve noticed three or four residents have gained significant increase in strength and added endurance,” Tallack. On Friday, July 10, the residents and staff celebrated their walking goal with a barbecue
DELWYNDA WALKERS — Delwynda residents celebrated their goal of walking the distance from Deloraine to Brandon with a barbecue on July 10, including a delicious cake (above).

and a special cake to mark the occasion. There were big smiles all around. This project is clearly working and residents are enjoying the activity. Residents were sup posed to decide where their next walking des tination would be, and the chose Clear Lake. Way to go, Delwynda residents! Keep on walking!

WCG-TV Volunteer Appreciation by Francis Parker On June 6, Deloraine WCG-TV hosted the Annual Volunteer Appreciation for CMCs from 16 communities in western Manitoba. The Legion was used for the RAC meeting and the Legion Ladies Auxiliary provided an awesome lunch of soup and open faces sandwiches for 40 people. High compliments for the homemade soups were made by all attendees. The visitors not attending the meeting checked out some of the local tourist attractions using the mini-tour guide the Deloraine group created. This included the Flags of the World in Deloraine, Newcombe’s Hollow, the Golf Course, Bank Vault and Goodlands Coal Mines. As a side note, the road to the Goodlands Coal Mine is closed. After lunch, Brenda Parker took part of the group to the Deloraine Airport for plane tours of
Turtle Mountain, Whitewater, and Deloraine. Special thanks to Lorne Bolduc, Larry Black, and Peter Downey for donating their time and planes to this activity. While one group was having their plane rides, Stu Clelland took another group up to Lake Metigoshe for pontoon boat rides provided by Metigoshe residents. The tour started at the Canadian shoreline, then went off to the American side to continue the hour long tour. A second tour was given to the other group who had the plane ride. Special thanks to Jan and Wayne McClelland, Dennis Maxwell, and Kathy and Wayne Pool for being the “Hosts with the Most” for the afternoon. After the boat ride, the group gathered at The Rendezvous Restaurant for dinner. The Rendezvous closed for the evening and set up for the party. They offered a
choice of Shrimp Fettucine, Chicken Cordon Bleu or roast beef with soup/salad starters and desserts. Service was great in serving 55 people and the food outstanding. Thanks to Conrad and Dana and the staff for a most enjoyable evening. The dinner theme was games, and during the dinner “Manitoba Jeopardy” was enjoyed, as well as “WCG Family Feud”. The video submissions by the CMCs were shown and the President’s Award was awarded to Ste. Rose for meeting all the criteria throughout the year and doing an outstanding job in the community. A “Game of Chance” was used to pick winners of an iPad donated by WCG-TV Brandon and a night for 2 at Country Garden B&B donated by Peggy and Jim Sanders. Door prizes were drawn using Bingo balls and a Silent Auction provided more fun. (Continued on Page 11)

The group has been
awarded various trophies over the years and has been the recipient of the President’s Award four times over the past 30 years...more than any other community. Throughout the years, there have been volunteers to tape activities in Waskada, Deloraine and surrounding areas. Alex Preston has left the group to pursue a career in Virden, leaving us short handed for camera people. We desperately require volunteers to assist in taping church services and various activities around our area in order to maintain the current level
of service. Without people stepping up, we will not be able to tape all the activities that have been done in the past. The cameras are easy to use and light for mobility...unlike the huge equipment of the The commitment past. level doesn’t have to be huge and you don’t have to be retired to commit. If you are going to attend an activity, then take camera and tape it. A few hours per month is all that is hoped for. Deloraine WCG-TV volunteers are Maurice Lesy, Stu Clelland, Linda VanMackelberg, Francis Parker, and Brenda Parker.
