Swimming Lessons disrupted The beach at Lake Metigoshe is once again busy with swimming classes. Lessons will continue through to the end of next week when certificates and badges will be awarded . This, despite the large creature spotted swimming near the docks. The young witness shown here was describing to his instructor and classmates just where he spotted the large fish. It was described as looking very much like a catfish, and possibly as large as 3 inches in length. Fortunately PHOTO/FRANCIS PARKER for everyone, it left for what was likely calmer waters and the lessons continued.

History on this number shows several other fraud files linked to this number. Police called the number and a person with a thick East-Indian accent stated that he was “Damon MARSHALL” with “Revenue Agency in Canada”.

Community Orchid is open to the Public Deloraineʼs Community Orchid is nearly ripe for the picking. Not so very well known about, this gem is located at the west end of Morton Avenue, just off the road on the south side. The orchid boasts a number of different fruit trees and bushes and is open to the public. You will find a selection of cranberries, currants, buffalo berries, apples, and cherries surrounded by Green Ash trees and Vilosa Lilacs. There have been new plantings this year of apples, plums, black currants, red currants, Romeo Cherry, and Carmine Jewel Cherry. New fruit trees purchased for the orchid were made from a $1,500 grant from Prairie Mountain Health - Healthy Together. The orchid is looked after jointly by the Turtle Mountain Conservation District and the Municipality of Deloraine-Winchester. The Municipality looks after the mowing and the TMCD looks after weed whipping, pruning, and watering the site. The Choke Cherry trees had to be removed in the spring due to a fungal disease called Black Knot. New signs will be going up to let the residents know that this is a community orchid and is open to the public for picking. Apples, highbush cranberries, and buffalo berries will be ready soon. There were a lot of new shrubs planted this year so it will take a year to establish and start to produce fruit. Next year we should see new fruit on these shrubs. PHOTOS/FRANCIS PARKER

The Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program Working in cooperation with Turtle Mountain Conservation District and West Souris River Conservation District by Cassidy Howell It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program. After the move of the three pairs from the wet Medora site to the dry site at Broomhill, it was a waiting game to see when the first eggs of the season would appear. The pairs that we moved must have enjoyed their new dry burrows because within no time, two of the three pairs started laying eggs. Unfortunately, only one other pair nested. Three out of seven pairs have nested and have a total of 23 eggs. We decided after a month of zero productivity (no eggs in the nest) that we would switch the remaining four pairs around. Still, no eggs were produced. Now, since it is too late in the season for any more eggs to be pro-

duced, the remaining four pairs will be sent back to the Assiniboine Park Zoo. Here they will be kept and cared for over the winter and brought back next year for another try at nesting. Our first nest was scheduled to hatch between July 17 and 20. We were elated when we checked on the nest on the 20th to find six tiny white fluff balls (looked to be about 3 days old and approximately 1215 grams in weight) in the bottom of the burrow, along with two eggs that had not hatched yet. We have high hopes that the remaining two eggs will hatch, we will not be going into the nest until early to midAugust for health checks and banding. The other two nests are expected to hatch later in July and early August. Veterinarian staff from the Assiniboine Park Zoo will make a trip out early August to come look at the young. Specifically, they will be taking blood sam-

ples from each of the young in order to be able to tell which ones are males and which are females. This is very important as there is no way to differentiate between male and female burrowing owl young. Once again we will out at Banana Days on August 8, so please come by our booth and learn more about our program and meet our very special education ambassador, Koko the Burrowing Owl! As well as Banana Days, we will be at the International Peace Garden on August 9 from

12:00 - 4:00 p.m. It is not too late in the year to see wild Burrowing Owls out and about, if you happen to see or hear a Burrowing Owl on your land, please contact Turtle Mountain Conservation District at 204-747-2530 or West Souris River Conservation District at 204-877-3020 or our direct Hoot Line at 204-8074668.

Maguire welcomes Federal funding to modernize Ports of Entry in Westman Boissevain, Cartwright, Lena and Crystal City ports of entry to be improved Boissevain, MB - Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris announced the Government of Canada will invest an estimated $25 million to improve infrastructure at the Boissevain, Cartwright, Lena, and Crystal City ports of entry. This investment is part of the $440 million in infrastructure funding announced in November 2014 by Prime Minister Harper to replace aging ports of entry across Canada. “By investing in border infrastructure we are helping support Westman’s economy,” said Maguire. “Improving important border infrastructure will foster our country’s economic growth by ensuring the legitimate flow of goods and people across our shared border with the United States is managed efficiently. The CBSA is also an important protector of Canada and Westman communities against threats such as organized crime, foreign criminals, and drugs.” The infrastructure investment includes design finalization, site services, geotechnical, and environmental assessments, as well as modular building construction, including structural, mechanical, electrical, internal fit-up, commissioning, project management and signage. Construction work is planned to begin as early as 2017. “Improvements to port of entry facilities help ensure the free flow of legitimate travel and trade across Canadian borders. Our commitment to invest $440 million in border infrastructure to modernize ports of entry demonstrates our government’s ongoing commitment to the safety and prosperity of our country,” said the Honourable Steven Blaney, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. The $440 million border infrastructure investment, combined with previous Beyond the Border infrastructure commitments, provides a huge boost to upgrade ports of entry. The majority of Canadian ports of entry will be fully upgraded or replaced with modern facilities, consistent with the Canada Border Services Agency’s efforts towards modernization. This is over and above the $241 million that the Government of Canada has already invested in expanding and modernizing its ports of entry over the last five years. New and modern facilities will help meet new space demands due to recent operational requirements. Improvements to facilities will help ensure our small, remote and medium ports of entry will continue to deliver service excellence to travellers and traders. In 2014, Maguire officially announced the opening of three of Westman’s new facilities at the Goodlands, Coulter and Lyleton ports of entry. The Government of Canada invested $16.5 million ($5.5 million each) into these three new port facilities. These new state-of-the-art facilities offer significantly enhanced operational capacity and are reflective of a modern law enforcement agency.

Modernized Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement reduces tariffs on canola oil submitted by Canola Council of Canada The canola industry welcomed this week’s announcement of a modernized Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement (CIFTA) that will mean an immediate 40% reduction of tariffs on Canadian canola oil. Prime Minister Stephen Harper made the announcement Tuesday that the negotiations toward the expanded and modernized CIFTA have concluded, expanding market access opportunities for agricultural exports. “Reducing Israeli tariffs on Canadian canola oil from 7% down to 4.2% gets us on par with vegetable oil from the US and the EU,” says Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada (CCC). “We support the government’s continued investment in improving market access, and look forward to the benefits from being on a level playing field in this market.” The CIFTA came into force in 1997. In 2014, Canadian exports of agricultural, agri-food and fish/seafood products to Israel were valued at $54 million. As a result of the modernized CIFTA, close to 100% of current Canadian agricultural, agri-food and fish/seafood exports to Israel will benefit from some form of preferential tariff treatment (i.e., duty-free, tariff rate quote or tariff rate reduction), and at least 90% of those exports will be duty free. “Canadian canola oil exports to Israel have not been significant in the past, however, with the modernized agreement, there is now some potential for growth,” says Miller, noting that Israel imported about 118 thousand tonnes of vegetable oil in 2014. The CCC is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Keep it Coming 2025 is the strategic plan to ensure the canola industry’s continued growth, demand, stability and success - achieving 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million metric tonnes by the year 2025.

• • • On the weather front, we have had a mixed bag with many very hot and humid days. There has also been some heavy rains at times and near misses for storms. This last week we were also under threat of heavy storms with tornado warnings. We have to be thankful that we were spared from the large tornado that did touch down near Tilston and Virden. There does appear to be damage, but fortunately no death or injuries. Early indications are that the tornado was on the ground for an astonishing two and a half hours. • • • Judy wrote last week in this section about the great job that was done with the fair and all the people who work so hard. I would like to throw my 2 cents in as well. You only have to be involved a little in the background to see the work that goes into these events. Unfortunately, when you look at a lot of the different organizations and clubs here, you see the same people serving on multiple boards and working on behalf of more than one of them at the same time. It would sure be nice to see some new faces and a few more people step forward to serve. We lose too much in the community when there is no one stepping forward and a club closes. • • • Who doesnʼt like pizza and who doesnʼt enjoy a night off from cooking? The MYJC Pizza Sale is on now! Pizza options include cheese, pepperoni, deluxe, and Hawaiian. Please call Emily Janssens at 204-747-3423 to order, or stop by the tourist booth to pick up an order form. Sales end at noon on Friday August 7.

Dand stone features

For your Aerial Application needs,

complied by Francis Parker The purpose behind these mysterious and unique features may never be determined. It is a mystery of the most intriguing sort that the story behind five stone features located on a q uarter section 4.5kms southeast of the Hamlet of Dand remains untold. In the absence of real knowledge conc ern ing the site’s history, we have only archaeological facts and theories with which to paint a picture . The quarter section was homesteaded by James Morgan Dand in the late 1800s. He didn’t allow anyone to use the land - not even for animal grazing. Mr. Dand is reported saying that the site under discu ssion was visited annually by First Nations. Meanwhile the stone features were known about locally and the sto ne walls were used as blinds for shooting geese in the mid 1900s. Excavation Dand’s land was cleared after it came under new ownership and the stone features were then brought to light. Locals William Moncur and Bill Ransom Resolution #2015 275 brought the site to public attention which led the Parks Branch of Manitoba to arrange a one-year lease of the property from the owners. In the spring of 1967 the site was mapped out and investigated by a Parks Branch survey team and excavated by an archaeological team made up of graduate students from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Manitoba. Moved by Councillor: Wayne Serruys The site was located in a dry slough depression surrounded by a grove of Seconded by Councillor: Karen Jones poplars and was made up of two massively constructed stone oval rings, another smaller oval and two well constructed stone walls (in addition to two WHEREAS there was extreme damage caused to infrastructure in the mostly destroyed walls).

It is true Carried Unanimously that some of them were made out of stone and were located in low secluded areas but are otherwise dissimilar from the Dand site. Another possibility is that the formations at the site were built to reflect information of astrological significance and the features that would have created the critical alignments to give this theory weight may have been destroyed prior to investigation. Working against this theory is the site’s location in a depression; sites on high ground or at least a flat plain were favoured for astrological sites. It is deeply unfortunate that the answer to the burning questions left by the Dand site is destined to remain a mystery. The lease on the land ran out and by 1968, when a member of the investigative team returned to the site for a visit, the features had been destroyed by land clearing operations. There remains no trace of the site today, a tragedy in the face of the absence of a BOUNDARY CO-OP EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY parallel example anywhere in the archaeological literature.

The digital downside by Francis Parker Since the shift from film to digital, photography has grown to the point where we are taking a few billion photos each day. It really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that long ago that everyone had their photo albums and boxes of prints. Favourite images were shared by pulling out the albums or sleeves of recently returned prints. Our attic still has a good section of it filled with albums and boxes of loose photos, made up of not only ours but also many more from previous generations. Just to illustrate how far we have come, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share a few facts on how our photography habits have changed. The first known photo was taken back in 1826 and by 1930, the world was taking close to a billion photos a year. By the 1970s, we were taking 10 billion photos each year. This year we are expected to take over a trillion photos. The numbers are changing so fast that coming up with recent totals is difficult. Facebook alone claims 350,000 photos are uploaded daily. Part of the explosion in the numbers has been due to the addition of cameras in our phones. In 2017, it is expected that we will take 80% of our photos with a phone camera. In the days of film, we printed just about everything we shot. And that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much. If we went to an event, we might shoot a couple rolls of 24 or 36 exposures. So where are we today as far printing our photos? The best estimate I can find says that we will print, at most, 10% of our photos. My own thoughts are that it is much lower and will continue to fall, largely in part to the ability to share via on social media. What we really need to

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED AT FAIR Local EMS and Firefighters put on a demonstration during the DeloraineFair, involving a victim trapped as a result of a motor vehicle accident.

be concerned now is the storage of our photos. We tend to have hundreds of photos sitting on our phones at any given time, and for many of us, thousands on our computers. Anyone who has a phone or computer knows, or should know, how easily these devices can fail, be damaged, stolen, lost, or even gone in a fire. And in many instances, everything would be lost for good. Digital storage makes life so much easier but in an instant, all those digital 1s and 0s can vanish. Floppy disk are long gone and CDs and DVDs are on their way out. Hard drives are also destined to be replaced by SSD (solid

state drives), which are basically a larger version of a flash drive. And after that there will be something else. How do we protect ourselves against the loss of so many memories? Even experts canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree on a long-term storage strategy. I believe we should approach the problem two ways. First, print the important photos off. There is nothing like having the physical image in your hand. The added benefit is that most prints, if archival paper and ink are used, will last 100-150 years easily Even if it is just a handful a month of the really important ones, print. You can buy your (Continued on Page 7)

Boundary Trail Heritage Region preparing for Canada 150 Submitted In 1991, Heritage Canada established the ‘Boundary Trail Heritage Region’ in southern Manitoba. It was only the fifth federally recognized ‘heritage region’ in Canada and the first to be established in western Canada. The Boundary Trail Heritage Region consists of 12 adjacent municipalities, all with the International boundary as their southern municipal boundary, and stretching from the Red River in the east to the ManitobaSaskatchewan boundary in the west. It was recognized as a national heritage region because of its unique natural, aboriginal, furtrade and ‘pre-railway’ settlement history. And of equal historical significance was a natural ‘common thread’ or in this case

‘overland trail’ that tied all these communities and rural districts together the famous former Boundary Commission North West Mounted Police Trail. The Boundary Commission - NWMP Trail was, for a time, one of the most important and active early transportation arteries on the Canadian prairies. It commenced in Manitoba at Fort Dufferin near Emerson, lead across the Marais River French Canadian settlement, through the West Mennonite Reserve, and the Anglo-Ontario settled Pembina Mountain and Rock Lake country, across Pembina River valley to the Turtle Mountain and Souris Plains districts before crossing into what was then the “Northwest territories”. The Boundary Trail Heritage Region logo fea-

tures two mounted silhouettes representing Metis guide Wm. Hallett and NWMP Lieutenant Colonel George A. French and possessing links with both the work of the Boundary Commission and North West Mounted Police in the region during the 1870s. During the early 1990s roadside signs, with the Boundary Trail Heritage Region logo, were posted along Provincial Highways #243, #32, #14, and #3 which are as close as possible to the original route used by the Boundary Commission and the North West Mounted Police trek of 1874. In preparation for Canada’s upcoming 150th anniversary, the Heritage Region’s Board of Directors is planning a number of initiatives to promote the heritage

region, its communities and its attractions. One of the first projects is to erect more signs throughout the region, to better promote and identify the regional history rather than focusing only on the former trail route and its nearest existing communities. “We are looking to create more visibility about the Region for not only tourists but also local residents to know they are in it,” states Wayne Arseny, Emerson area board member. A new series of publications that will provide tourists and residents alike with interesting ‘short stories’ from the region’s past is also being planned, as is the creation of a digital archives of historical publications, articles and images pertaining to communities and rural districts in the

Clearwater resident and long-time chair of the Boundary Trail Heritage Region, Gordon McGill, showing a new sign that marks the historical importance of our communities along the Boundary Commission - NWMP Trail. PHOTO/SUBMITTED

The digital downside (Continued from Page 6) own printer, pay someone else to print, or take them to a lab. You can even send them online and hav e the prints delivered to your home. Regardless of how you print, find out what quality of ink and paper you are getting your prints done on. You want archival quality, which usually states how many years. 50 years would be a minimum and I would suggest 100+ years is a better choice. Some photos printed on inkjet printers have a very short life and will fade really quickly when exposed to sunli ght. The second part of the solution is the storage, Even if you print the important ones, you should als o be protecting the rest of your photos. The type of media changes quickly so as long as you keep copying from the old media to whatever is t he newest and best of the day, you will at least have a digital copy. The problem is that any single copy can be damaged or lost a number of ways. We tackle that issue by having at least two copies of everything. Two copies on DVD or two portable hard drives with duplicate copies. But we are not q uite done yet. Assuming you have printed your best and made two copies of everything, where are all these copies stored? For too many of us, they are in the same physical location. If we have a fire, flood, theft, or any number of events strike, all copies could be gone. My solution to the problem is to have one copy, or even two on site, and one copy at another locatio n, It could be at a family mem ber’s home or even a safety deposit box. A common alternative now is cloud storage, although I am inclined to think that is not quite as reli able as your own devices. Consider what would happen if you were to pass away suddenly. Would your family know where you stor ed the online version, have the login and password, and would they be able to able to retrieve them? Still, it is a good al ternative to what many have now, which is a single copy. In short, my recommendation for a long-term strategy is to first print the really important stuff. A nd display it...nothing beats a picture hanging on the wall or even displayed in an album. As for the digital files, make at least two copies and don’t keep them in the same place. I usually work with three copies, One is on my computer, another is on a backup drive, also in my office at home, and the third is on a backup d rive somewhere else. As for the old prints in the attic, consider getting those scanned as well - at least the important ones. It seems like overkill at times, but if your computer, phone, or camera was suddenly gone, what would you have left? Are your memories going to be passed down to the next generation or lost?

Market Report by Bob Cey This week I wanted to share some insightful information for what is the number one thing that drives the markets, interest rates and, in fact, our whole economic system (earnings). This information and more can be found on the link www.factset.com/websitefiles/PDFs/earningsinsight/ earningsinsight_7.24.15 For those of you who like to study data and are analytical you will like the information available on that site as it is numbers and facts, not someone’s opinion. Earnings Scorecard: Of the 187 companies that have reported earnings to date for Q2 2015, 76% have reported earnings above the mean estimate and 54% have reported sales above the mean estimate. Earnings Growth: For Q2 2015, the blended earnings decline is 2.2%. The last time the index reported a year-over-year decrease in earnings was Q3 2012 (-

1.0%). Earnings Revisions: On June 30, the estimated earnings decline for Q2 2015 was -4.5%. Nine sectors have higher growth rates today (compared to June 30) due to upward revisions to earnings estimates and upside earnings surprises, led by the Telecom Services and Energy sectors. Earnings Guidance: For Q3 2015, 20 companies have issued negative EPS guidance and 7 companies have issued positive EPS guidance. Valuation: The current 12-month forward P/E ratio is 16.7. This P/E ratio is above the 5-year average(13.9) and the 10year average (14.1). Canadian share prices pressured by commodities Falling commodities prices put pressure on Canadian equities this week. The S&P/TSX Composite index declined as oil, gold and base metals headed downward. Oil fell to its lowest levels since late March, hurting the Canadian energy sector. Gold bullion declined to its lowest price in more than five years, sending shares of gold mining companies sharply lower. The materials sector

was also affected by weakness in base metals as copper fell to its lowest level since June 2009 and some prominent forecasters revised their price outlooks downward. Gold bullion continues to fall on expectations that the US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates later this year, which is supporting the US dollar and reducing the appeal of bullion as a currency hedge. Easing geopolitical tensions have also taken the shine off gold as an investment. Other factors contributing to overall commodity declines include concerns about global and Chinese economic growth, perceived supply-demand imbalances in key commodities and disappointing quarterly earnings reports. Commodities weakness contributed to a decline in the Canadian dollar to the lowest level against its US counterpart since September 2004. Although most global equity markets were affected, those with less exposure to resource-related stocks fared better. Wall Street’s S&P 500 outperformed Canada’s benchmark, although it lost ground over the week. Mixed quarterly earnings

Brandon Zone 2 to host Civil Air Search Rescue Association Western Exercise in 2015 An elite group of volunteers with incredible purpose will gather at the McGill Municipal Airport to take part in the annual Western Search and Rescue Exercise (CASARA) on August 7, 8 and 9, 2015. CASARA is a Canada wide volunteer aviation association dedicated to the promotion of Search and Rescue Awareness and to the provision of air search support services to the National Search and Rescue Program. There is expected to be as many as 20 aircraft from across the Western provinces each carrying 4crew members to take part in the three-day event. Liaison Officer for Brandon Zone 2 CASARA, Rene Le Gal says, “Manitoba’ Civil Air Search and Rescue Association has been in our local community for 29 years and we are very pleased to showcase our hospitality and our facilities to the Western provinces this year.” The exercise places flight crews and ground search teams into various scenarios over the course of the weekend giving them the chance to put their training and knowledge to work as practice for the day when those desperate calls for help come in. Lost hikers, downed aircraft, and first on scene at an accident site are just some examples of the situations these dedicated volunteers will face. Jackie Keyes, Executive Director for Brandon First states, “It has been a huge honour partnering with the organizing committee for this event. Groups like CASARA are often forgotten because they are not in the forefront until drastic events require them, but without them, a vital part of our community’s safety would be missing. The opportunity for Brandon, Zone 2 to showcase their talents and expertise in our home province while building awareness for their organization is a much deserved privilege.” Le Gal has indicated, “Plans are underway for our exercise and we look forward to a fantastic event.” Note: Part of the exercise will take place north of Deloraine and another part near Killarney, so if you see some aircraft in these areas, you will know what’s up. Keep posted in future issues for an interview with a CASARA pilot.

reports kept a lid on share prices. European stocks fell as the positive reaction to last week’s deal with Greece faded and share prices moved lower on concerns about corporate earnings. Some emerging markets saw steep losses, particularly those with large resource components. In other news this week: • Greece repaid its most urgent debts and opened banks for the first time in three weeks. The country’s parliament approved further economic reforms demanded by creditors. • Canadian retail sales rose by a more-thanexpected 1% in May over April to record levels. (continued on page 10)

OBITUARY DUJARDIN Ferdinand Ross Dujardin Ferdinand (Fred) Ross Dujardin, 72, of Shilo, passed away Sunday, June 28, 2015 at the Winnipeg Health Science Centre of a brain aneurysm. He was born on February 10, 1943 to Ross and Gabe Dujardin. Fred grew up in Deloraine, MB where he went to school and helped out with family business. He married Judy Desender July 31, 1964 and from this union Patti and Randi were brought into this world. Fred and Judy started their business, Dujardinʼs Leisure Centre in 1978. Over the years Fred enjoyed racing snowmobiles with the Rumblers, hanging out at the cabin at Lake Metigoshe, hunting, golfing and curling. After a divorce in 1984, Fred met his soul mate Carole Ginter. Fred and Carole moved to Brandon and after Fredʼs motherʼs death they moved Fredʼs family home to Shilo where they resided until their deaths. Fred had ran his own business, been a curling ice maker, greenskeeper, and worked with a paving crew for Zenith Paving before he retired. After retirement Fred enjoyed golfing, fishing and travelling. He reconnected with the Catholic faith and became president of the Shilo Service Club. Throughout his life Fred had a love of music, singing and dancing - many dance cards will be empty now. Fred was predeceased by his soulmate Carole Ginter (2010) and his parents Ross (1977) and Gabe (1999) Dujardin. He is survived by his children, Patti (Tuffy) Kirkwood of Souris, Randy (Maureen) Dujardin of Brandon, Jeff (Brenda) Ginter of Dawson Creek, BC and Duane Ginter of Portage; grandchildren Cory (Jana) Kirkwood of Calgary, Joey Kirkwood of Calgary, Kia and Jade Dujardin of Brandon, Jason and Kelsey Ginter of Dawson Creek; great-grandchild Keelan Kirkwood of Calgary. Service was held July 3, 2015 at Shilo Catholic Church in Shilo with a burial at Deloraine Cemetery. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to Dadʼs second family - the Shilo Service Club at Box 252, Shilo, MB R0K 2A0. We’ll always remember that special smile, that caring heart, that warm embrace you always gave us. You being there for us through good and bad times no matter what. We’ll always remember you because there will never be another one to replace you in our hearts and the love we will always have for you. ~ Patti, Tuffy, Randy, Maureen, Jeff, Brenda, Duane and families.

Maximize your childʼs learning ability (NC) Eye health and vision is an essential part of children’s cognitive and social development, especially as they start school. An untreated eye issue can greatly impede a child’s ability to learn, play, and even socialize. Studies show that difficulty learning is often connected to a correctable vision problem. In fact, 80 per cent of classroom learning is done through the eyes. “Vision health is extremely important for children in all settings, including the classroom, at home, and while participating in extracurricular activities,” says Dr. Radhika Chawla, Doctor of Optometry, who agrees with studies that show vision and learning are fundamentally linked. “In Kindergarten, for example, vision problems can interfere with simple hand-eye coordination activities and the ability to perform near tasks, such as reading. This can hinder a child’s ability to learn and can lead to emotional issues.” One in four school-aged children faces some form of vision difficulty. Despite this, 90 per cent of children have not had an eye exam from a Doctor of Optometry before the age of four. A child’s vision problems can easily go undetected. Vision problems aren’t always obvious to the parents or the child. Children have no form of comparison and they do not always display symptoms for caregivers to notice. The only way to truly know how well your child can see is through a thorough assessment. In Ontario, OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) covers annual comprehensive eye exams for children up to 19 years of age, so there is no out of pocket cost for parents. Eye See...Eye Learn is a free program offered by participating Doctors of Optometry, helping to identify vision problems in Ontario’s young children. The program provides eye exams and complimentary eyeglasses to Junior Kindergarten children, when needed. For more information, visit EyeSeeEyeLearn.ca. www.newscanada.com
