Radcliffe McGregor Lee families celebrate submitted by Holly Ratcliffe A reunion for the Radcliffe McGregor Lee family was held at the WaskadaLions Hall on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26. There were about 120 relatives in attendance who travelled from near and far to celebrate. Most of those in attendance were descendants of Donald and Maggie Radcliffe who homesteaded just outside Waskada in the late 19th Century. The farthest travellers and relatives were Julie Sato and her two sons, Taison and Ryan, who came from Japan to attend the reunion.

The reunion kicked off just after lunch on Saturday with a car rally organized

by Ted McGregor and Bob Radcliffe. Relatives piled into 21 cars and set off around the countryside to answer the questionnaire given to them. Everyone, young and old, enjoyed driving around to all the old farmyards and school sites.

Don Lee, Mel Lee, and Bill McEwen were in the car that won. They received a car rally trophy that was won by Jack Radcliffe in 1981 that had been refurbished with a new plaque and base.

After the car rally was finished, an amazing race obstacle course was laid out and 10 teams battled it out and had lots of fun running around the course. Carla Lee, Nicole McGregor, Sharlene McGregor, and Kimberley Radcliffe, whose team name was, coincidentally, ‘The Winners’, was

the winning team. All the kids who participated in the event were given prizes.

The weather was really warm but everyone still had lots of fun.

The supper consisted of tasty roast beef (prepared by the Waskada store), baked potatoes, and redneck cooler corn. The desserts were made by relatives in attendance including a slab cake made and decorated by Heather Teeple.

Marg Wright said the grace.

The family also acknowledged lots of special anniversaries including George and Charlotte McGregor and Isobel and Jack Halcrow who celebrated their 55th wedding anniversaries this year, as well as Jim and Karen Radcliffe and Mildred and Larry Johnson who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversaries this year.

Following supper, an auction was held where each family had donated items for. A highlight of the auction was Jon Radcliffe who was the auctioneer. All proceeds went towards a donation to the Waskada Cemetery. The auction and donations from the reunion totalled $3,650 for the Cemetery.

Pictures of the family were displayed at the hall as well as on a TV monitor.

The same pictures on the monitor had been made into a family scrapbook that everyone enjoyed looking through. Grant Stubson did a great job going around to all the different events and even participated in the car rally to capture pictures.

There was also a goofy

Family reunion auction raises money for Cemetery A reunion for the Radcliffe, McGregor and Lee family was held in Waskada on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26. Each family donated an item to be auctioned off after the supper. All proceeds went towards a donation to the Waskada Cemetery and $3,650 was raised. Pictured: Bev McKinney (L) accepting the generous donation on behalf of the Cemetery from Holly Radcliffe on behalf of the families.

PHOTO/SUBMITTED photo booth set up where everyone could dress up and get fun pictures taken.

On Sunday, there was a pancake breakfast held at the hall to wrap up the weekend festivities.

Everyone who attended the reunion really enjoyed themselves and can’t wait for the next one. The last family reunion was held in 1994, 21 years ago, but everyone agreed the next reunion should be held with fewer years in between.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who volunteered and helped out. It was a very special weekend that will be remembered for years to come.

Liberal plan exactly what the local governments need; Wyman submitted On August 27, 2015, Justin Trudeau announced the Liberals will strengthen the middle class, create jobs, and grow Canada’s economy by making historic new investments in infrastructure.

“For months I’ve been meeting with Reeves and Mayors and farmers throughout our community. By far the biggest concern they have is infrastructure,” said Liberal candidate, Jodi Wyman. “Manitoba has an $11 billion infrastructure deficit. Cuts and restrictions imposed by the Harper government to the Build Canada Fund have been frustrating for our municipalities. This Liberal plan is exactly what the local governments of Brandon-Souris need to grow, and what our economic engines of agriculture and oil need.”

A Liberal government will make the largest new infrastructure investment in Canadian history with their plan to: • Nearly double federal infrastructure investment to almost $125 billion - from the current $65 billion - over the next decade, reaching an additional $9.5 billion by year ten; • Make an immediate down payment to kick-start job creation and economic growth by doubling the current Federal infrastructure investment in each of the next two fiscal years; • Provide new, dedicated funding to provinces, territories, and municipalities for: Public transit infrastructure, Social infrastructure – including affordable housing and seniors facilities, early learning and child care, and cultural and recreational infrastructure, Green infrastructure – including local and wastewater facilities, climate resilient infrastructure, and clean energy; • Increase the transparency of the New Building Canada Fund by providing clearer project criteria and faster approval processes that will now prioritize investments in roads, bridges, transportation, ports, and border gateways; and • Help fund public infrastructure projects with the creation of a new Canada Infrastructure Bank.

“Every dollar we spend on public infrastructure grows our economy, creates jobs, and strengthens our cities and towns,” said Mr. Trudeau. “Government has a responsibility to act decisively and for the public good. Canada’s economic growth was made possible by building ambitiously. We must do so again if we are to transform our transit and transportation systems, create more livable communities, and ensure that we adapt to a changing climate.”

SonForce Kids (2015 Vacation Bible School in Deloraine) submitted by Greg Whyte It was another successful year for our town-wide Vacation Bible School (VBS) program.

This year, we still had the support and volunteers from all four of the Deloraine churches for our week long program, and a record-breaking 60 children aged 3-12 from the Deloraine area attended our week’s programs, with fun games, creative crafts, funny puppet shows and a chance to meet new friends. The Szakacs family joined us again and

brought everything together with daily dramas that they wrote themselves, telling the story of ‘Max’, a secret agent trying to catch a certain criminal, one Doctor Blackheart (played by me, the pastor of Harvest Church).

The children were divided into three groups based on their age (4-6, 79, and 10-12), and then each group was led through the day by dedicated volunteers. The typical day would start with a gathering at 9:00, where everyone together would

participate in ice-breaker style games, and then a short skit illustrating the day’s main topic. Then, the kids would go with their groups and circulate between games outside, crafts, and a Bible lesson.

Then, at the end of the morning, everyone would gather again to review what they learned through the day. Also, while in the lesson time, the children learned some songs, which they performed for their parents during the closing ceremony on Friday before everyone had a lunch of hot dogs

and veggies, with ice cream sundaes for dessert.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the hours of dedicated volunteer service put on by all of the volunteers from each of the ministries represented in this project, or the generous donations of food (Boundary Co-op donated everything for Friday’s lunch), craft supplies and props (costumes for the kids). On behalf of the Deloraine and Area VBS Committee for VBS 2015, a big thank you for everyone who helped out in any way.

Extensive Wintering Site Selection & Management

by Andrea Bertholet, Farm Production Extension Specialist – Agri-Resource, MAFRD The practice of extensively wintering livestock, whether its bale grazing, swath grazing, stockpiled forage or processing bales to feed in the field, is increasing in Manitoba and across the prairies.

Extensive wintering provides many benefits to the producer, livestock and the environment, such as reduced feeding and yardage costs, increasing soil fertility and potential yields on the site and reduction of nutrient loss to run off in the yard.

However, if not managed appropriately, there can be environmental risks.

Whether selecting a new wintering site or assessing an existing site, there are some important factors to take into consideration. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), together with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (AARD), Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) and other industry organizations, have created two tools to assist producers in selecting and assessing extensive wintering sites.

Wintering Site Assessment and Design Tool The Wintering Site Assessment and Design Tool (WSADT) is a guideline to assist producers in identifying environmental risks associated with wintering sites using a simple traffic light format (green, yellow, red).

WSADT takes into

account five main considerations: 1. Site Characteristics The natural characteristics of a site determine its suitability as an extensive wintering location and will influence which management practices are appropriate. Soil, slope and water flow (runoff, flooding, ground water level) are the three main site characteristics that will affect environmental risks.

2. Feeding Strategies A significant amount of nutrients can be deposited on the wintering site in the form of manure, urine and wasted feed.

The accumulation of these nutrients varies depending on the feeding strategy which includes feeding system, intensity, amount, nutrient levels of the feed, and frequency of site use.

Winter feeding strategies can be grouped into two main types: imported feeds, which are grown at a different location, then hauled to the site to be fed (bale grazing, unrolling/ processing hay, silage); and non-imported feeds which are grown and fed on the same site (stockpiled grazing, swath grazing, crop residue grazing, annual forage grazing and corn grazing).

3. Bedding and Shelter Management Ensuring livestock have adequate shelter during winter feeding is critical to both livestock welfare and protecting the environment.

Nutrient accumulation at shelter and bedding areas can be significant. More uniform nutrient distribution reduces the environmental

risks associated with runoff and nutrient utilization by the subsequent crops.

Providing bedding or shelter over a larger area, or moving the bedding and shelter on a regular basis, can spread the nutrients more uniformly

across the site, preventing nutrient hot spots.

Odds & Ends

Extensive Wintering Site Selection & Management (Continued on Page 4) and protection of the environment. There are many different types of water sources for wintering sites, all of which have advantages and disadvantages, depending on management. Direct access to a water body has environmental risks such as water quality degradation, sedimentation and bank instability. Offsite watering systems can also have environmental risks depending on some factors such as distance from water body and slope of the site.

5. Post-Winter Site Management After winter feeding, any areas with excess

manure buildup will need to be addressed before the growing season gets underway. The goal is to have even nutrient distribution across the entire site. Piling and spreading manure from buildup areas or harrowing on perennial forage sites would be of benefit. Harrowing or cultivating on annual crop sites may be needed before seeding.

Nutrient Loading Calculator Another great new tool to go along with these concepts is the Nutrient Loading Calculator (NLC). It is an easy to use Excel spreadsheet that estimates the amount of nutrients (nitrogen, phos-

Deloraine

phorus, potassium and sulfur) that are added to a site from imported feeds. It takes into account the following factors of your system: cow management (number of cows, weight, acres and days); feed types/ration (feed type, nutrient content and weight); and feed management (feed density, amount and timing). It assumes all nutrients are deposited in the form of manure, urine and waste feed, with the exception of nutrients removed as animal weight gain.

Conclusion Rotation of wintering sites from year to year is essential. Rest periods of three to four years are rec-

ommended. Using these two tools along with soil testing can assist with developing a rotation that will optimize crop use of available nutrients while minimizing the need for added fertilizer and reducing environmental risks.

With proper site selection and management, extensive winter feeding systems can reduce feeding costs, save fertilizer costs and increase yields for subsequent crops, all while lowering the risks to the environment.

There’s a brand new play structure at Lake Metigoshe main beach. It’s big, bright, and beautiful! A big shout out to everyone who made this possible, including the idea stage, fundraising, purchasing, and assembling. A lot of hours went into this project and it’s so worth it!

• • • Well, there’s been two long stretches of prime harvest weather lately. That has gone a long way into getting the 2015 harvest in the bins. Here’s a shout out to all the farmers, their families, their hired help, truckers, elevators, and perhaps the most important people. . .the ones who make and deliver meals in the fields! Harvest is a very special time of year in life on the prairies, especially if the yields are good and beyond. And it seems the yields are above average in many cases.

• • • School will be back in session on Wednesday, September 9. It seems so late this year, just the way it worked out with the long weekend. Here’s to a great school year for the students, teachers, support staff, custodians, and bus drivers and everyone else involved in educating our youth. “It takes a village to raise a child.” All the people mentioned play an important role in the life of a student, helping them grow, learn, and make their way through to Grade 12 and graduation. Kind words and encouragement go a long way.

• • • Back to school clothes trends: 1. Coloured jeans 2. Graphic tees with positive messaging 3. Statement jackets 4. Fall Florals - on clothes/shoes 5. Athleisure - elevated activewear 6. Bold leggings 7. Faux fur 8. Plaid 9. Funky socks • • • A few toys trending for 2015 include: Baby & Infant - Roll around rattles; feature: throw the rattle and it jumps back Age 3-5 years - Scoot and ride combination scooter and push bike which can be transformed with one click.

Age 6-10 - Zoomer DINO - makes all kinds of sounds and its eyes glow in different colours.

Age 11 & up - Hobbyzoo Sport Cub SAFE - remote control airplane.

• • • Hard to believe it’s Labour Day coming up.

Traditionally it was an occasion for and to celebrate worker’s rights during parades and picnics organized by trade unions. These still play a role for some Canadians but many see it as an opportunity to take a late summer trip, or go to the cottage and enjoy the company of family or friends at picnics, fairs, festivals and fireworks displays. For teenagers and other students it’s the last chance to celebrate with a party before school reopens. Canadian football fans may spend a large proportion of the weekend watching the Labour Day Classic matches live or on television. The Labour Day Classic consists of three games between high ranking teams in the Canadian Football League.

HAPPY LABOUR DAY!

Solutions & Substitutions

by Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, I would like to know the best way to store onions so that they will keep for a fairly long time. Thank you.

Ruth Dear Ruth, My favourite onion storage solution includes a pair of clean pantyhose.

Place an onion in the toe and tie a knot above the onion. Drop another onion into the leg of the pantyhose and tie a knot.

Continue filling both legs with onions. Hang the contraption inside of a pantry or cupboard (warn family members, they may be scared at first).

Each time you need an onion, cut below the knot of the next onion. Storing onions in pantyhose keeps them properly ventilated and dry so that they last long. Onions can also be chopped and put into freezable containers.

Chopped onions may be stored in the refrigerator for 30 days or frozen for about six months. Extra tip: Do not store whole onions next to whole potatoes, they will both spoil.

Always store onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

Dear Reena, I am storing about 15 pounds of white sugar that turned as hard as a stone. I thought that the plastic lid would never let moisture in but this summer’s moisture did it. The sugar is in a plastic pail about 1 foot in diametre.

First of all, how can I get it out of the pail without a sledgehammer? Secondly,

how can I use it up a little at a time without it reverting back to a solid lump? Thank you.

Audrey Dear Audrey, With regards to the sledge hammer, you are not far off. Begin by lining the kitchen floor with a clean bed sheet. Have a friend help you turn the pail upside down onto the bed sheet and slam the container down hard to release the contents. Or fill a bathtub with hot water and place the bucket into the water.

Make sure that the water does not touch the sugar.

Leave for an hour and carefully pour sugar into separate sealable containers. After the sugar is released from the bucket, break the block into small pieces using a meat tenderizer or mallet and then use a food blender to grind the pieces until smooth. Store pieces of bread, moistened clay or halved apples with sugar to prevent future hardening.

Extra tip: In order to soften brown sugar put it in a container and place it in the microwave with a small bowl full of water beside it. Microwave for about 1 minute. If it is still hard, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.

Repeat until sugar is soft, being careful not to burn the sugar.

Dear Reena, I received a white polyester cotton blouse trimmed in heavy cotton lace, it looks like it’s been hanging for a while and it has yellowed. I

tried lemon juice and cream of tartar but it didn’t seem to do anything. I just guessed at the measurements and the time it needed to soak. Is there anything else I can try? I currently have it soaking in Borax and water (again no measurements). I am desperate because I need to wear it to sing in a choir and I don’t like yellowed whites. Thank you so much for your help. Your recipes are much appreciated.

Rosabelle Dear Rosabelle, The great news is that the blouse is white which makes cleaning this stain easier than most. If you tried Borax or washing soda and the stain did not budge you will need to move onto a more drastic solution because sometimes stains are here to stay. Assuming that the blouse is 100% washable, use a product called “Iron Out” found at home hardware store such as Canadian Tire to zap that stain. Put the blouse into a pot filled with enough water to cover the fabric.

Add one quarter cup “Iron Out”. Boil the blouse for 5 minutes.

Using tongs remove fabric from water; the stain should be a distant memory. If the stain has faded but still remains repeat the process.

Market Report

by Bob Cey What a week! I received more phone calls on Monday and Tuesday than I had all summer. What we just went through the last couple of weeks is considered a correction. A correction is considered healthy in regards to what markets need to do from time to time. Let me explain so that what we went through makes more sense.

I will use the analogy of driving a car down the road and not using cruise control. Let’s say the speed limit is 100 km.

Everything is going just fine but when you look at the speedometer you notice you have crept up to 120 km. Backing off to 100 km is now considered a healthy thing to do, so you back off the gas and slow down. You over compensate and slow down to 80 km per hour. You now step on the gas and get back up to 100 km. Well, we saw the same thing in the markets the last two weeks. We over compensated the selloff (slowed down too much) then this week we decided to step on the gas and the markets had a sudden surge to get back to fair market value. ␣Stock markets bounce back amid extreme volatility Most global stock markets advanced during a highly volatile week that saw some of the big-

gest daily and intra-day equity index swings in years.

A steep drop in China’s stock markets and concerns about its economy prompted volatility and sharp price declines across regions Monday and Tuesday.

China developments later contributed to upswings as markets recovered. A global share price decline was sparked when China’s Shanghai Composite index fell 8.5% on Monday.

Despite subsequent strong advances, the index still closed down 7.8% over the week. In other regions, markets reacted positively to moves by China to cut interest rates and institute additional economic stimulus measures.

Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite took part in the wild ride but ended up in positive territory.

Canadian investors initially faced global pressures as well as a deepening decline in commodities prices fuelled

by China concerns. A US oil benchmark closed below $40 a barrel for the first time since 2009 and base metal prices fell. However, the key energy and materials sectors spiked higher later in the week as China concerns eased and oil prices staged a strong comeback. The financials sector was boosted by better-than-expected third-quarter bank earnings and dividend increases.

Wall Street recovered from six days of consecutive China-induced declines, which included record intra-day swings

in indexes and big daily gains later in the week.

After a steep fall, benchmarks soared into positive territory following China developments, interest rate sentiment and better economic news.

European stocks were just as volatile. Markets fell sharply before heading upward. Emerging markets outside of China were mixed as many Asian markets failed to fully recover from losses recorded early in the week. However, most commodity-driven emerging markets bounced back. Among developed Asian markets, Japan closed down -0.7%.

Indications that the US Federal Reserve might not raise interest rates in September helped global stock markets surge as the week progressed. A Fed member indicated a rate hike “seems less compelling,” although other officials later indicated a September move remains possible. Positive US economic news also helped share prices. The US economy expanded at an annual rate of 3.7% in the second quarter, faster than the original estimate of 2.3%. The Conference Board consumer confidence index improved more than expected to its highest level since January and consumer spending rose in July.

Durable goods orders also increased by more than expected in July and existing home sales continued to recover, reaching their highest level since 2008.

Is this the demise of the honeybee?

Bees flitting from one newly sprouted flower to another as they collect pollen is one of the more common sights of the spring. Honeybees are content to buzz between plants for hours. But in recent years the honeybee population has declined considerably, and scientists and environmentalists continue to study and debate why bees seem to be dying out.

Although bees are best known for their honey production, their symbiotic relationship with nature goes much further.

Honeybees are instrumental in transferring pollen from plant to plant, which helps to foster new life for many agricultural species. In addition to wild flowers and other plants, bees pollinate many of the crops that end up as food on dinner tables across the globe. Bees help pollinate more than 90 com-

mercially grown field crops, citrus and other fruit crops, vegetables and nut crops. Without these insects, crop yields would decrease dramatically, and some foods may cease to exist. Without bees, food production would diminish and the prices of produce would skyrocket.

Commercial beekeepers have reported deaths of tens of thousands of honeybee colonies.

Ninety percent of wild bee populations in the United States have disappeared, according to Target Health, Inc. In the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, bee species have declined considerably, and some have even become extinct.

Since 2006, millions of honeybees have died off due to a phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD. CCD refers to the absence of

adult honeybees in a colony with few or no adults remaining. Worker bees simply disappear, leaving behind the queen and vulnerable developing young. Bees are not usually known to leave the hive unguarded. While similar disappearances have been documented in the last 100 years, those incidences have grown considerably in recent years.

Officials in the United States Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency have not been able to determine why the honeybee population has undergone such a steep decline, though some believe that a complex combination of factors, including parasites, lack of genetic diversity, poor nutrition, and pesticides, could be responsible.

Examination of dead bees has found residues of

more than 100 chemicals, insecticides and pesticides, including some used to control parasites, in bee hives.

Other factors that come into play involve climate changes that affect wildflower production. Without wildflowers, bees have no sources of food. Rainy, wet or overly dry weather can wreak havoc on the landscape, resulting in fewer flowers and, as a result, a smaller bee population.

Scientists are still studying the situation and working toward a solution to restore the honeybee population. Individuals can do their part by keeping plenty of blooming flowers in their yards and never killing honeybees found on their property.

Disturbing an established hive can result in the bees abandoning their work, leading to even greater losses.

Strategies to help kids focus on their schoolwork Some youngsters experience difficulty when the time comes to focus on their school work. Such difficulties may be linked to a vari ety of factors and par ents can be over whelmed as they attempt to identify the root cause of their young sters’ struggles in the classroom.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 6.4 million American children between the ages of four and 17 have been diag nosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. ADHD most often occurs in children, and these children may have difficulty with concentrating, paying attention, staying organized, and remem bering details. But not all children struggling to focus on their studies have ADHD. Parents who want to help their kids overcome their issues with regard to focusing can consider a host of approaches and strategies.

• Speak with a quali fied healthcare profes -

sional. Because ADHD is so common, parents should seek the opinion of a licensed healthcare professional to deter mine if their child has the disorder. According to the National Resource Center on ADHD (www.help4adhd.org), psychiatrists, pediatri cians, neurologists, psychologists, and certain licensed counselors or therapists are qualified to diagnose ADHD. Determining if a child has ADHD is a great first step toward helping that youngster overcome his or her struggles in the classroom. A quali fied healthcare profes sional can help develop a strategy to improve focus, and that may include prescribing medication to improve the child’s ability to concentrate.

• Speak with your child’s teacher. Students who don’t have ADHD can still have trouble focusing on their schoolwork and parents of such students may want to speak to their children’s teachers to solve the problem.

Educators have signifi -

cant experience dealing with students who have trouble focusing, and they may be able to make certain sugges tions to help kids focus on their work.

• Minimize distrac tions at home. Some kids may do well in class but find it hard to focus once they arrive home. That’s because home often has far more distractions than the classroom. Once the time comes for your child to do his or her homework, minimize distractions that can compromise his or her ability to focus. Turn off the television and take kids’ phones away if they have their own phones. During home work time, only allow them to use their com puters for their lessons and not to connect with friends via social media.

Parents also should make sure they aren’t the distraction. Let kids do their work in peace and quiet, offering to help if need be but steering clear of kids work areas so they are encouraged to focus and not strike up conver -

sations with mom or dad.

• Make lists. Some kids focus better when they know exactly what they have to do.

Encourage such young sters to make lists of their assignments and check items off as they are completed. Checking items off can give kids a sense of accomplish ment, which can moti vate them to stay focused on their schoolwork going forward.

• Encourage breaks. A breather every so often can help kids avoid growing tired. Make sure kids don’t take up another task, such as playing video games or watching television, during their breaks. But keep in mind that standing up every so often to walk around or get a glass of water can help them stay sharp and energized over the long haul.

The Curling Club would like to extend their sincere gratitude to everyone who helped make their latest fundraiser an enormous success. Those who helped setup, take down, bought tickets but were unable to attend and the Rumblers Motorcycle Club for the help at the bar. Also a shout out to the band Sentinal for making it such an entertaining evening.

First Anniversary In loving memory of Jean Vercaigne, who passed away September 6, 2014.

VERCAIGNE Jean Vercaigne (nee Minne) Jean Minne was born July 22, 1920. She went to school at Bayview and Mountainside. When she quit school, she worked at different places and then wages were very small.

Jean married Joseph Vercaigne in 1940 in St. Antoninus Church in Deloraine and they farmed in the Flossie District.

Joseph’s first wife, Mary Geldof, passed away in 1937, so Jean, at 20 years of age, became stepmother to seven children and helped her husband Joseph raise a big family of George, Alice, Robert, Jack, Blanch, Margaret and Paul. In 1941, she had Norman and later, in 1953, she had the spoiled one, Duane, while they lived on the farm.

In 1959, they moved to town but still grew a big garden. She loved her vegetables and in town had more flowers.

During harvest, they often had help from their neighbours and Jean would bring out good and hot food for the men. They said the dust hadn’t settled in Deloraine by the time she had made it to the farm up in the Turtle Mountains.

Jean and Duane liked to go fish at Oak Lake. She was a member of the St. Antoninus Catholic Women’s League for over 60 years and was a past-president.

In 1968, they built their new home beside the old house in Deloraine. In 1983, Jean’s husband Joseph passed away.

Jean was very appreciative of Duane for looking after her until her health required more assistance. She decided that Evergreen Place was handy and close to her doctor.

Rosie, the boss of the house, was often out to visit Jean at Evergreen Place with Duane and takes him out for a walk so he wouldn’t become a couch potato.

Duane came a couple of weeks before her passing with some pork hocks, something she really enjoyed and they had a picnic in her room.

Jean had one sister, Doreen Granger of Boissevain.

She was predeceased by her brother and two sisters. ~ Lovingly remembered by Duane and family

Avoid electrical overload in dorm rooms If you’re a student who will be moving into a dorm or apartment, keep electrical safety in mind. Bringing electrical appliances and electronics from home can make your home away from home more comfortable but check with the building manager to make sure your space can handle the extra electrical load. Be aware of warning signs. If an electrical cord feels hot, if the lights flicker regularly or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, you may have overloaded the circuit which can cause a fire.

A microwave oven and compact refrigerator are great for preparing meals and storing food

but be sure they are plugged into a grounded outlet. Some items, such as a toaster or hot plate, may not be welcome in your dorm. The surface of these items can become hot enough to ignite nearby paper.

Check with the facility or building manager before bringing them into the dorm or apartment. Minimize the use of extension cords.

Multiple power bars and octopus outlets are an indication that you are probably overloading the electrical system. Avoid using extension cords but if they are absolutely necessary, be sure they are the appropriate size for the load they will carry.

If you have a roommate, maximize your space and limit your electrical requirements by making a list of necessities and avoid duplicating items.

It’s a smart idea to keep a fire extinguisher in plain view near the door. Read the instructions and make sure you know how to use it in the event of an emergency.

Make sure you and your roommate can hear all building alarms such as the fire alarm, the carbon monoxide detector and the security alarm when you are in your room.

Enjoy your expe rience in the dorm or apartment and make it a safe one.
