By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press
New financial support from the federal government have been announced for the Back Forty Trail Park in Neepawa. 21042AL0 A familiar and well-respected member of Mani toba’s political landscape has decided not to pursue re-election. Agassiz MLA Eileen Clarke, who has also served as the Minister of Municipal Relations since January, has announced via social media that she will not run for office in 2023. In her Facebook posting on the subject, Clarke stated “I will be retiring from my political life as of the 2023 provincial election. Until then, I will continue to serve my faithful Agassiz con stituents, Manitoba municipalities and all residents of Manitoba.” She added, “It has been and continues to be an honour and privilege to experience a political career serving our sustainable and unique province.”
“The funding will be used to further develop the area by improving the site design, adding more features to the landscape, including more trees and compatible vegetation, rock scaping, adding picnic shelters, tables, natural play forreceivingtre.Manitoba’splanttingwasSynchyshyngranularareas/playgrounds,pathways,etc.,”noted.TheotherprojectthatannouncedtobegetfundingwasanewicefortheUniversityofMaxBellCenTheuniversitywillbeupto$363,200thatproject.
Neepawa’s chief admin istrative officer, Colleen Synchyshyn, explained that the Town had applied for this funding in 2019, before the Back Forty had opened. While the park is currently open to the public and in use, there is still work to be done to it.

Up to $550,000 investment for park’s development
The government of Can ada announced some new funding for two recreational facilities in the province last week, one of which was Neepawa’s Back Forty Trail Park.
“My stars are aligned and I feel I have accomplished some good things, I have gained knowledge, experience and many new friends along the way,” said Clarke. “My life journey is not over, but it will take a different path in 2023, I will patiently wait to see what’s next for me.”
Clarke was first elected as the MLA for the Agas siz riding back in 2016 and re-elected in 2019. Along with her current position as Minister for Municipal Relations, she had also previously served as Minister of Indigenous and Municipal Relations from 2017 to 2021. As well, between 2006 and 2014, Clarke served as Mayor of Gladstone. Journey is not over In her announcement, Clarke noted that her experi ences as an MLA were so much more than she could have ever imagined or wished for.

I just want re-state that the Ten Com mandments are God’s pattern for living, but no matter how closely you adhere to them, they do not bring salvation. One of the commandments held over people was to go to church every Sunday. Well, the Sabbath isn’t Sunday, it’s Saturday, for one thing, and the word Sabbath means so much more than not work ing and attending a service that whole books have been written on that topic. Another of the commandments has been badly distorted over the centuries. Note verse 12 says “Honour thy father and thy mother”. It is often misquoted as “Obey your mother and father” and that is usually a good practice, but if a parent is leading a child into incest or crime, then obeying the parent is not a good thing. It is quite different to honour than to obey. Once the 66 books of the Bible were mostly agreed upon, the faith organiza tions went to work and added thousands more rules outside of the Bible. Sorry, but a person doesn’t go to Hell for not attending a faith service, for not giving to their faith organization, for not obey ing the priest, the rabbi, the minister, the pastor or the church board. Doing all those things nothing to do with entering into Heaven. One needs to evaluate the “extra” rules and teachings, and should do so, but the only way to Heaven is by way of John 3:16. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (King James Version) In regards to salvation, nothing else matters.

Iam moved to write about the fact that in five of my hospital stays over the last few years, I was very sick. Not to be overly dramatic, but left untreated in those five visits, I might not be here to write this column. I feel it’s important to share my thoughts on life and death. As always, you are free to agree or disagree. There are things we have no choice in. We are born– no choice there for us. We die; some choose to end their life, but for the most part, we have a varying number of days. Some of us live only minutes, some a 100 years or more. What we do with our lives is somewhat under our control. What we do have full control over is what happens after we die. There are a lot of jokes and songs about death and Heaven and Hell. Some are illustrative, some are frivolous, some ridiculous. I am of the Christian faith and cling tightly to the Bible verse in John 3:16– “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (King JamesManyVersion)people, churches and faith organizations have tried to add to this simple statement. The additions or extra rules may be well intentioned, but if “getting to heaven” or “being saved” or “salvation” is attached to anything except John 3:16, it is an unnecessary add-on.Therules and regulations of the Jew ish, Christian and Muslim faiths are rooted in the Ten Commandments, but they are not about salvation, they are rules for living. Very important rules, but not directly attached to salvation. Below, I have re-printed the Ten Com mandments as worded in the King James Version of the Bible in Exodus 20. “And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make
Pretty helped, but there was a purpose to every stitch, make the quilt strong enough to withstand laundry day! What a boon the treadle sewing machine was to the early seamstress! And then some of the awesome quilts at the show were entirely sewn by hand, by choice! Wow, Gayle, I can’t imagine! The intricate quilting patterns achieved by the quilting machine are so intense, a design within and throughout the finished work. I have quilts. Not of the calibre of the ones on display. Ones to keep loved ones warm, ones that hold a memory. I have the last quilt that Ed’s mother created. At the time of her passing, other family members either had enough of her handwork or they could see that her skill had diminished. It is now faded, frayed and still cherished. I have the first quilt that I ever sewed. It is sewn from the undefeatable, indestructible Fortrel. The kind of fabric that could be stretched just a little to make the corners match! The colours are not ones that I would have called first choice, they were the ones that were available! That poor thing is now 50 years old, has been re-stitched in a spot or two, but sturdy and warm as the day I proudly completed it! I have reminisced of quilts before– usually in January when I am working on some, so you know that some have been hand quilted, some tied, some machine quilted. Some have been gifted, some have been donated, and many have been given to family. When I viewed the tie quilt at the display, I knew how I have envisioned the one I crafted from the collection of Ed’s ties. May my child never see the perfect one! She is happy with the one she has, I think. So, yes, I was discouraged, for my abilities at quilting will never compare to the quilts on display. I was also inspired. I am getting serious about collecting the patterns for an Underground Railway quilt. I can see the colours and feel the movement. I think I am ready to do the hard work of sizing the patterns to 10 inch squares. In

The setting elicited about the same response! The Eleanor Rose Garden in Kelwood is the work of a true artist, with the colours, designs and patterns alternately inspiring and discouraging me as well the array of quilts waving on the lines! Little wonder that those out for a leisurely drive choose the garden as the destination spot, or those seeking a perfect backdrop for family photos find their favourite scene in this park. The quilts… How the art has changed since its inception. The hours a homemaker spent salvaging the best portions of a worn out garment, waiting until there were enough pieces to begin carefully hand stitching them together to form a serviceable quilt/bedcover/blanket. The design binding the front to the back was, again, serviceable.

The choice is yours is now a dying breed living on a dying planet. All our efforts to combat climate change and clean up the mess we’ve made of our en vironment, while noble and certainly well-intentioned, won’t extend the life of this planet one day beyond the day set by God for its de struction and replacement with a new heaven and a newAsearth.forour human bodies, we do all we can to keep them healthy and strong. Thanks to advances in modern science, replace ment parts are available for knees, hips and other joints that wear out over time. We can even replace parts of major organs (like the valves in a human heart) with mechanical parts made in a factory somewhere. But while these procedures may improve our quality of life, they will not extend it one day beyond the day God has set for us to die. There is, however, one part of us that will live on after our bodies die. The Bible calls it “the soul.” The soul is “the person that lives inside the body.” We are what theologians call tripartite beings– made up of body, soul and spirit. The body, as noted above, is the earthly home for the soul. The Spirit is “the breath of life, given by God, that holds body and soul together.” It was breathed into our first parents on the day they were created and is breathed into every subsequent human at the moment of his or her con ception.TheBible says that at

death, the Spirit returns to God who gave it. Our lifeless bodies will return to the earth from which they were taken. But the soul (the person who lived inside the now lifeless body), will enter the life to come. The question each of us must answer is: “Where will I spend eternity?” God tells us we can choose our eternal destiny. Two thousand years ago, God sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ our Lord, to this earth. He lived among us for 33.5 years. At the end of that time, he was arrested, tried, convicted of crimes he had not commit ted and sentenced to death. Before he died, God “laid on him the iniquity (sin) of us all” (Isaiah 53:6) and Jesus died to pay “the wages of sin” (death– see Romans 6:23) for all humanity. God offers forgiveness and eternal life to all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He promises judgment and eternal punishment for those who do not. He offers us life or death and says: “The choice is yours.”

F or many years, one of my hobbies has been to crochet slippers. It often happens that when I have some on display and people like them, I have to make more of Mythem.girls make sure that they keep me supplied with wool and sometimes bring the most beautiful colours. Any left over small balls of wool go to a neighbour who covers clothes hangers. I need to keep counting the stitches so that I do not lose any or double up a stitch. The other day, I kept making the same mistake and had to take almost the whole slipper apart again and start over. My patience was running low and I was ready to throw the whole slipper out of the window andAfterquit.working and re working the one slipper, I got it done and I looked at it. I could only say “thank you Lord.” It was He who upheld my strength and brought it to pass. Now I can look with a humbling heart how I had finished the slippers with God’s help.

Town Council
The Manitoba govern ment has announced their plans to increase the prov ince’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by October of nextPremieryear. Heather Stef anson appeared at a press conference on Aug. 18 to discuss the plan, noting that the government will be consulting with small businesses to help mitigate the effects of the wage hike on them. The increase will be a phased-in process, with increases on Oct. 1, 2022 and Apr. 1, 2023 before hitting their target next October.“Ourgovernment recog nizes the financial challen ges many Manitobans are facing as a result of global inflationary pressures,” said Stefanson. “Today’s announcement delivers on our commitment to making life more affordable for all Manitobans. This phasedin approach will ensure small businesses remain strong and continue to grow while helping work ers and their families get ahead by earning bigger paycheques.”Tomakethe wage in crease happen, the govern ment passed an amendment to Employment Standards Code earlier in the spring. This move was made in response to the high infla tionTherate.current minimum wage rate is at $11.95 an hour, which will be jump ing up by $1.55 to $13.50 on Oct. 1 of this year. Next April, the increase will be by 65 cents, to $14.15 an hour. The next adjustment in October of 2023 will bring the hourly rate to approximately $15. The province noted that this raise is in line with the projected consumer price index increase for the year. “This wage increase will provide much-needed support to hard-working Manitobans who have been burdened by soaring costof-living increases,” said Labour, Consumer Protec tion and Government Ser vices Minister Reg Helwer. “Manitobans have worked tirelessly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are committed to reliev ing some of the financial strain.”Thegovernment stressed, however, that they recog nize the pressure this can put on small businesses, so they will be consulting with the industry to potentially create support programs for the businesses to help them adjust to the higher payroll“Manitobacosts. small busi nesses are the backbone of our economy and we are committed to helping them grow and thrive,” said Economic together.”findofitywithareMinisterInvestmentDevelopment,andTradeCliffCullen.“Wecommittedtoworkingourbusinesscommuntoaddresstheimpactsthiswageincreaseandworkablesolutions

Zoning by-law on the east end Town council revisited the applica tion by a landowner to rezone some property on the east end of town to residential multi-unit and institutional designation. This zoning designation would give some flexibility in what could potentially be developed on the property, as it would allow not only multi-unit housing, but also institu tions such as a playground, church, school, community centre, etc.

Kelwood: Considerable damage resulted when, during last Tuesday’s storm, lightning struck the combined home and garage of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Andrew. Several persons assisted in controlling the fire that resulted. The lightning struck the chimney and passed down a join in the roof where tin had been laid under the shingles. The shingles were burny and large holes were left in the tin. The fire was noticed by Mrs. Gabler, Sr., who informed Mrs. J. Gladden, who in turn advised telephone operator Miss Viola Cawston. The latter quickly summoned the help of a number of neighbours, whose prompt response controlled the blaze.

It is a little puzzling, as well as disconcerting, to the town council that no tenders were received within the allotted time for the reconstruction of Park Lake dam. There has hitherto been so much criticism of the dam as originally built and annually rebuilt that it was anticipated that there would be numerous plans and tenders submitted for the construction of a permanent dam. But apparently our eminent engineers are all too busily and possibly more profitably employed in other lines of work. Or, it may be that none have realized the importance to the town of having Park Lake dam rebuilt.

Public invited to farewell party for former staff sergeant on Sept. 9
A first for Neepawa Now living in Brandon, Morehouse will still be able to be seen in Neepawa now and then. In an interview on the morning of Aug. 22, Morehouse confided that he isn’t quite ready for a full retirement yet. Hired just recently by the town, Morehouse has started working two days per week as a bylaw officer. “I talked to the CAO and some of the other people at the Town Office and they were starting to look for a bylaw officer, they were getting busy enough to have one but not full time–and didn’t want full time. I just wanted something to sort of keep my hands still into it and have a transi tion into my retirement in that way,” Morehouse explained.Thisisa

Argue told the Banner & Press that the Neepawa detachment misses him, for his experience and more. “He’s very knowledge able about the area and a very personable man. The members here really respect him– he was a men tor to all of us and he was always ready to help out,” said Argue. “The biggest thing we’re going to miss is his presence– his jokes and his personality.”
The Neepawa RCMP detachment is welcoming everyone to a special cele bration on Sept. 9.

Morehouse has served with the RCMP for 26 years overall, getting his start in the Toronto area in 1986. From there, he went to Carberry in 1997, before going to Amaranth in June of 2005, staying there until June of 2008. That year, he started in Pukatawagan and remained until 2010, when he moved to Stone wall. His final station was in Neepawa, coming here in July 2012 and serving until July 2022.
first for Nee pawa, Morehouse noted, as the town has never before had a bylaw officer. Though his days will differ, depending what’s going on within the community, he is currently in town on Mondays and Tuesdays. “It’ll be very interesting, and I like talking to the people of Neepawa. I have a good rapport here– and hopefully still will,” More house laughed heartily. “But I have a good rapport with them and I like being in Neepawa, Neepawa is a very nice place. Being around, getting along with people… It’s been a pleasure working for the community.”
Neepawa is a prime location The retired staff sergeant expressed a deep gratitude to the community, noting that his wife has worked as a resource coordinator in the homecare sector at Neepawa for 23 years–starting before Morehouse moved here himself. “People have treated us very well, the community has been great. We miss the people, where we are now,” Morehouse confided. “But it’s not that far away and we’ll come back to visit, have a place to golf, and I want to thank them for all the kindness that they’ve shown to me and my wife in the years that I’ve been here. We’ve made a lot of good friends.”
In his final thoughts, Morehouse gave Nee pawa an additional plug, stating, “I encourage any members who are think ing about maybe coming to Neepawa. It has all the amenities that you need–good schooling, good rec reational activities and financial institutions.”

The pattern stitching over the quilt was based off motifs used in Ukrainian pysanky egg decorations and she cross-stitched some of the designs on the dancer’s dress.
The other quilt (right) was a pattern test, using 105 different fabrics. Marchuk explained that she had enough fabrics for all but eight of the colours she needed, and in her friend’s wardrobe she found those eight exact colours. The phrase, “Life is good”, which is written on the quilt, were the last words written in her friend’s journal before she passed away.

There have been several notable changes recently around the boardroom table for the Neepawa Titans.

Waddell said he is looking forward to seeing where the team goes from here.
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press Despite a mass exodus of veteran players from the program, Neepawa Tigers head coach Chidi Small is still optimistic about the high school team’s prospects for the upcoming football season. The Tigers held their first full practice with the pads and helmets on Mon day, Aug. 22, in advance of the start of the Rural Manitoba Football League (RMFL) regular season. For this year, coach Small expects that they should be able to suit up about 30 players, though it will mainly consist of a relatively inexperienced roster. He said that is because about half of last year’s team has graduated.“Whilewe do have some veterans that are returning, we have lost some players. So, we will be a young team, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” said Small.
As for the remaining board members, they in clude: Shayna Fluker, Bill Syrik, Tom Yandeau, An thony Machan, Jeff Mich aluk, Ryan Ford, Danny Case and Rob James. New coordinatorsbillet
Despite the lack of ex perience, Small notes there is some genuine talent out there that could really excel as the season progresses. He said the only expectation for the year will be consistent growth from the players everyNotableweek.returning players for NACI this season will include third year quarter back Ward Brister, as well as veterans Brody Pollock and Tarek Lapointe .
The Rural Manitoba Football League is a league of high school based football teams that plays nine man football. This season, the RMFL will play a series of exhibition games against three teams from Winnipeg and Brandon, in addition to their regular seven season games.

Arlene Gladys Bucksovich (nee Desjardins) On August 21, 2022, at 80 years of age, with her grandson Bryce close by, mom closed her beautiful blue eyes for the last time. She fought her courageous battles with cancer, and later with dementia, with dignity and without complaint. Arlene was born in October 1941 in Vita, MB to parents Philip and Jonina Desjardins. Mom was predeceased by her two sons William, Jr. (1965) and Robbie (1981). Also predeceasing her were her parents, her sisters Edna and infant Jonina and brothers Allan, Pat and Cameron. Arlene is survived by her daughters Cindy Kwiatkowski (Reg) and Bryce. Sherry (Justin) Hunt and Matthew Obsniuk and Christopher Obsniuk. Her sister Wendy Pavlick (Danny) and Cory and Brady. Also many nieces andMomnephews.grewup primarily in the areas of Piney, Deleau and Tenby. As a young girl, it was in Deleau that she met Leona who remained her friend for the rest of her life. Mom and her siblings often spoke with great fondness of many friends and good times while living in Deleau. Money was scarce; but, great friends and good neighbours were in abundance. As a young lady, mom got a job working in the bank in Langruth and boarded there as well. She absolutely loved working in the bank and meeting the people in the area and at the boarding house. After she got married and lived a short time in Tenby, the family moved to Arden. Here she helped raise her family and became a part of the community. Often working at the concession booth for sports days and at the rink and the hall. She was part of the Ladies Auxiliary and helped the United Church Women. Here she made many friends and the coffee pot was always on. She enjoyed playing cards, baking with friends and many visitors. Many people would share a difficult part of their personal life with my mom and when you told my mom a secret, it was a secret for the rest of her life. Many friends have passed; but, Dianne and Pearl remain and they remained true friends until the end. Years later, mom moved independently to Neepawa and worked as a cashier and then with We Care and then later with Homecare. Mom became a very loved worker by many of her clients in need of care. She was always calming and treated the clients with respect. She also had a great deal of respect for her employers. When mom moved to Kinsmen Kourts she found an additional group of friends and card players. Many evenings were enjoyed playing Rummoli and other games. Mom would gladly show nieces and nephews how to play board games, crib and other card games. She was always encouraging and enjoyed their company. One of the greatest loves of Mom’s life was her three grandsons. She cherished them and was very much a part of their lives. Grandma always made the best pancakes, bacon and meatballs among many other things. She seemed to be able to put together a meal with ease. With dementia increasingly getting worse, mom’s final home was at Country Meadows until she passed away. She would often give the staff a little wave and asked for very little. She would try to carry a conversation or a pleasant thought as workers entered her room. In lieu of flowers, people may make a donation to STARS or the charity of their choice. Mom was a big supporter of STARS and donations may be made to: Stars Foundation In Manitoba 570-1441 Aviation Pk NE. Calgary, AB. T2E 9Z9 A private service will be held at a future date. Mom had this verse on her dresser for numerous years and truly believed in it: After Glow I’d Like The Memory Of Me To Be A Happy One I’d Like To Leave An After Glow Of Smiles When Life Is Done I’d Like To Leave An Echo Whispering Softly Down The Ways Of Happy Times And Laughing Times And Bright And Sunny Days I’d Like The Tears Of Those Who Grieve, To Dry Before The Sun Of Happy Memories That I Leave When Life Is Done

Terry passed away July 10, 2022, a day I will never forget. I have played the day over and over in my head, and not sure how the wheels fell off the bus. Thank you to my brothers Jack and Sandy Morrison and to my neighbors Kim and Evan Reynolds for everything you’ve done. Gwen Shamanski, David Harrison, Chad & Brandee Foley, Kaylee Lynn and Sean, Doug & Branden Olmstead, Karen Strain, Don and Melanie Green, Craig & Lisa Edmonds, Albert, Donalda, Whitley and Taylor Naismith and Chelsie & Billy Wright, not sure how I would have made it through this without all your support. Thank you to my work MHPEC and MB Agriculture for all your support and the use of the picnic tables and chairs. Thank you to Nutrien Ag Solutions, Courtney Miller, and crew and KRL Enterprises, Ken Loewen, and crew for all your support and for suppling the lunch and refreshments. It was fantastic. Terry loved his work and the people he worked with over the years. Thank you to everyone for all the visits, text messages, phone calls, cards, food, the flowers, shrubs and all the support you gave me. Thank you to White’s Funeral Home for all their support and their professional service during this difficult time. Terry didn’t want anything fancy, he made that very clear to me over the years. He wanted people to come to the farm and have a beer or two and a visit and that is exactly what we did. No tea! Terry is gone, but not forgotten. Someone said to me, we lost a real gentleman today. That we did! Love you sweetheart. Till we meet again. Love Sherree Stuart McSherry 204-467-1858 or www.mcsherryauction.com204-886-7027

Outdated portrayals of agriculture are causing a disconnect Why does this gulf exist? Part of the reason is the practice of wedge pol itics that pits one set of voters against another. All parties have been guilty of this. However, the divide is not just caused by divisive politics. Farmers and their representatives should also carry some of the responsibility for the gap between urban and rural percep tions because of the way in which we communicate the impacts of modern agriculture.Pollafter poll tell us that farmers are some of the most trusted folks in Canadian society. While I believe this to be true, I am concerned that this perception is based on an image of the 1950s farm and that it may not apply to the realities of modern, high-tech agriculture. In other words, Canadians may like farmers, but because of a lack of understanding of modern practices, they may not like what farmers do every day.
Continued on Page A19 By Cam Dahl Manitoba Pork Council
Divide impacting policy However, there is a divide between the view of agriculture held by some urban Canadians and daily farm ing practices. This is impacting how policymakers perceive agriculture and affecting the programs they imple ment. This gulf was exposed recently when the Government of Canada announced a target of a 30 per cent reduction in emissions from nitrogen fertilizer. Farmers felt they were un necessarily targeted by policymakers who have not taken the time to under stand the industry. Many believe that consultations were, at best, inadequate or even non-existent. Farmers are ask ing why there have been few attempts to collaborate with producers to align policies with agriculture initiatives that are already underway. There is a lack of evidence that policymakers under stand the effect this target will have on Canadian agricultural production or the impact on our economy.

What is a farmer’s relationship with environmental and animal welfare cer tification programs? Would it be right to say that it’s complicated? On one hand, farmers feel targeted by those in the activist community who reject the realities of modern agriculture. No genetically modified anything. No fertilizer. No pesticides. Small holdings with a few chickens, a couple of cows, and a pair of pigs. Farms drawn out of an idealized past of Ol’ MacDonald. Some farmers are concerned that cer tification programs might be helping to promote this agenda. The reality is different. Agriculture can rightfully claim to be a leader in rapid advancement in environmental management. These improvements are made possible by the adoption of technology and innovation, not their rejection. Widespread adoption of minimum tillage is reducing green house gas emissions and protecting our soils. Improved soil management is the reason Saskatchewan does not blow into Ontario anymore, like it did in the 1930s. In the hog sector, the adoption of technology, manure injection for example, is helping to ensure organic nutrients are placed where they are most accessible to crops, maximizing their value and minimizing potential environmental impacts. Research has shown that the hog sector’s environmental footprint has decreased significantly in the past 50 years. Hog farmers today produce more food with less environmental im pact, a trend that is continuing because of investment of farmers’ money into research on innovative technologies and practices.

Pictured are some of the entries from the Manitoba Sheep Association’s show and sale, held from Aug. 19 to 20. The sheep with two sets of horns is sure to have garnered some attention.
The Manitoba Sheep As sociation held their annual sheep show and sale Aug. 19-20 at the Minnedosa Fair Grounds. There was lots to choose from, including mar ket lambs (fat lambs ready for market/slaughter), com mercial ewes (females; pro nounced “you’s”), purebred ewes and purebred rams (breeding males). Purebred breeds included Suffolk, Canadian Arcott, North Country Cheviot, Rideau Arcott, Dorset and Tunis, while commercial breeds available for sale included Cotswold, Suffolk, Rideau, Ile de France, Dorper, Blue Faced Leicaster and various crossbreeds.Theauction was actionpacked, but there were other activities including a shearing demonstration, a body conditioning presen tation, and workshops on wool value and stock dogs. Some specialty breeds often bred for their wool were on display: Icelandic, Blue Faced Leicester and Jacob (the latter having two sets of Thehorns).canteen was serving up pulled lamb on a bun (how fitting!), and there were activities for children including arts and crafts and a scavenger hunt. There were 11 prize categories in the show part of the event, and over 90 lots of sheep available in the sale (a “lot” is a bidding item; it may contain multiple sheep). Justin Carvey operates a farm near Alexander. Between his parents’ farm, Swindon Ranch, and his farm, JRC Livestock, they have sheep, goats and cattle. Their numbers are always fluctuating, as he’s always buying and selling, but Justin says they have between 100 and 200 sheep at any time, and cycle through about 3,000 in a year. He buys and sells for breeding stock and meat. He does all his own sheering. This was his first year entering anything in the show and sale. His pen of three showed and then sold in the sale afterward; it was the highest selling pen of ewe lambs. “It was a really good event,” says Justin, “It really opened people’s eyes to the upside potential to the sheep industry—all the different avenues: wool, milk, and of courseOrganizersmeat.” were ex tremely pleased with the turnout. With people com ing and going both days, it’s difficult to estimate exactly how many people attended, but it’s estimated 700 to 800 total attendees, with up to 250 people at a given time. This normally annual event has not been held since 2018. The event had been held in Carberry in recent years, but it will likely return to Minne dosa next year. People came from Western Manitoba and beyond, with some people making the trip from as far away as Moosejaw, Yorkton and the Interlake region. Below are lists of show winners and sales statistics.

Continued from Page A18 How do we change the narra tive? As a first step, we need to stop apologizing for everything that comes with modern agriculture. It makes me cringe to see inaccurate portrayals, like advertisements with the little red barn next to a small field with an old cabless tractor, and three pigs and a duck playing in the foreground. How about showing a modern, multimillion dollar hog production facility? Please, we need to forget the picture of the plow and show a 75-foot airseeder precision planting into a minimum-till field. We shouldn’t hide modern agricul ture away from the public. Second, we are talking to the “prove it” generation and need to demonstrate the accuracy of what we say. This needs to include science-based assurance programs that set standards for environmental stewardship and animal welfare. These standards need to be backed by regular audits and commitments to continuous improvements, based on the latest scientific research. The hog sector is transitioning to Can adian Pork Excellence (CPE), a set of programs that allow registered pork producers to demonstrate compli ance with food safety and animal care requirements. Other livestock groups have similar programs that help demonstrate responsible production. Farmers’ participation in these programs needs to be em braced by the industry and better promoted as part of the story of Canadian agriculture. Politicians take their cues from the voters who elect them to office, the vast majority of whom come from urban Canada. Changing the narrative with consumers and citizens will also change the narra tive with policymakers. It may take time to shift the conversation, but highlighting the benefits of modern agriculture and demonstrating, not just talking about, the industry’s existing commitment to manage ment practices that enhance the environment and improve animal welfare will help prevent naïve and shortsighted policy announcements and burdensome regulations.

Howard McKay, owner of Penno’s Machining and Manufacturing in Eden, MB, has created the Hay Handler, a double bale fork that allows farmers to pick up two round bales at a time for load ing and unloading their bale racks. The design wasn’t as simple as put ting two forks on a frame; each fork can be raised independently from the other so that the operator can pick up two bales side-by-side or one bale at a time. McKay said this design can reduce loading time by up to 40 per cent and cut unloading time by half. “Save money, save time, save fuel,” he“Thestated.purpose of it originally was to be able to take two bales off of the hay rack and space them separately in two rows. So we started out with that idea, and we made a fork that would do that. But it wasn’t very suitable for picking bales up [out of the field], because you have to drag the first one to get the second one, or you had to set the first one beside the second one, and then pick two up,” explained McKay. “So we came up with this idea of raising the one up after the bale’s picked up, to keep it off the ground and from touching the other one. So then you can pick it up, raise it, pick up the other one, let it down, put them on the rack. And then when you take them off the rack, you can spread them both apart and put them in two rows.”
to
The Hay Handler has two sets of bale forks that can be moved upwards and outwards independently from one another, so that bales can be picked up one at a time without the first bale dragging on the ground when the second is picked up. In the picture on the left, both forks are set in the down position. In the right picture, the forks on the left have pivoted upwards to be higher than the right forks.
‘Save money, save time, save fuel’
The forks each raise upwards and outwards individually on the frame for picking up bales from the ground, but they can be set to work in tandem when picking up bales off the rack so that the forks stay at the same level as one another and the operator can just adjust the space between the bales for how far apart they want their rows. McKay noted that the original idea of moving two bales at a time came from a customer’s request. The rest of the design came from trial and error and testing out the product. He explained it was a group effort and a lot of work from many different people went into creating the Hay Handler. Continued on Page B6
After a hearty and de licious lunch provided by McCain, a series of additional talks for crop diversification and rotation wereDarrengiven.Bond, on behalf of Manitoba Agriculture, introduced an interactive farm software and work sheets intended to act as starting points for farm budgets to help producers make informed decisions for their Dennisoperation.Lange noted that Manitoba has an “economical and sustain able land base with a good transportation network”. According to Lange, these factors make it an ideal location to grow the pea protein industry.
“The demand for Mani toba-grown peas is fore casted to grow as pea pro cessing capacity increases in the province,” Lange explained. “Growing peas also provides many soil and farm management benefits.”
Kirk said that Manitoba is the heart of Canada’s grain industry. In fact, it is the third largest producer of spring wheat and barley in the country, while the country as a whole has consistently ranked as one of the top global exporters of wheat across the world. Lastly, Shawn Cabak highlighted fertilityforpurchasesmeanscroppingtheirtobaMostcrop-livestockintegratedsystems.producersinManicurrentlyseparatelivestockpasturesfromsystems.Thistheyrelyonoff-farmofcertifiedfeedtheiranimalherdsorfortheircropfields.“Thiscanincreasepro

Living roots and black dot Andrea Hamilton pro vided an introduction to living root research. This research focuses on bio mimicry– taking inspira tion from naturally occur ring solutions to problems and applying them to human engineering– and soil health. The overall goal for this research is to find ways to help producers keep living roots in the ground for longer periods in order to decrease the impacts of negative factors such as wind“Righterosion.now, we’re look ing at the use of companion crops, such as peas, with a nurse crop,” said Hamilton. Ways to break the cycle of blackdot disease are also being studied. However, there was a significant outbreak of blackdot last year which heavily com promised the results of the research. This experiment is now continuing on-track and results of both this and the living roots experiment can hopefully be released in the future.

Biofumigation Biofumigation– the nat ural fumigation of a crop using other plants– was a topic of particular interest to this writer. The experi ments being conducted at the CMCDC are centred around mustard as a fumi gant, as many strains have biofumigant properties that allow them to natur ally overcome soil-borne diseases and pests. Ver ticillium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Pythium, Scler tinia, common scab and a range of nematodes and wireworms are just a few of the troublesome diseases and pests that mustard is a biofumigant for. Since the biofumigant properties differ between strains, a variety of types are being used to deter mine which is most effect ive. These strains include Caliente, Cutlus, Andante, AAC Brown 18 and a male sterile hybrid.

“First and foremost, it was the DUC rebate,” explains Ryan Downey, a first-time winter wheat grower who ranches with his father near Coulter. “It also eased up the spring workload,” he adds. “This spring, we had a lot of neighbours that were jeal ous. A lot were wishing they had done it.”

DUC offers $20/acre up to $5,000, fertility advice from Western Ag – PRS CropCasting, full access to FarmLink’s new grain marketing tool ‘Grain Fox’ and ongoing support from DUC’s winter wheat experts.“We’ve been quite happy with the Ducks Unlimited team,” says Downey. “Alex has been coming out here regularly, keeping an eye on things and giving us feedback on what we might do. They really helped us get“Igoing.”encourage everyone to try winter wheat,” says Griffiths. “Use a rainy day to plant, or a morning when the dew stops the combine. If the canola or 2-row bar ley is off early, those are excellent stubbles. Peas, summerfallow or unseeded acres can also work if plant ing early and paired with a winter-hardy variety like Wildfire or Goldrush.”

David Van Mackelbergh steers his pickup along a winter wheat field in the southwest corner of Mani toba, the golden crop rip pling in the breeze. He’ll be harvesting in mid-August and anticipates a great return.“I’m very happy,” says the Medora-area farmer. “It’s the first year I’ve ever tried winter wheat. It’s turned out well, especially the way the spring went. It was a good thing to have it in, because it was looking like we weren’t going to get anything in.”
DUC rebate sparks new acres
“I can give you five good reasons to grow winter wheat,” explains Alex Grif fiths, a crop specialist with DUC. “Fall seeding saves precious time during the busy spring. The crop is early out of the ground and competitive against weeds, which can help manage herbicide resistance. Early harvest in August means warm, long days that al low the combine to keep rolling. Top it off with consistent high yields and goodGriffithspricing.”says about 25 per cent of all winter wheat acres seeded in Manitoba in 2020 came from farm ers taking part in DUC’s incentive program intro duced that same year. This year, one third of DUC program participants had never grown winter wheat before, while another third had not grown it for five or more years.

“I have no regrets. I’ll probably do it again,” says Van Mackelbergh. “We’re trying to keep to regenera tive ag practices. That was a main goal. We were going to sow a rye cover crop after the peas until we found out about this program and decided to give it a whirl.”
Ducks Unlimited Canada leads winter wheat surge in Manitoba
With an estimated 700,000 acres unseeded in Manitoba this year because of excessive spring mois ture, fall-seeded winter wheat was a timely choice for a growing number of farmers. Manitoba Agri culture reports 73,400 acres of winter wheat seeded this year, up from 55,900 acres of winter wheat in 2021 and 32,000 acres in 2020.

Manitoba cattle producers critical to future of grassland species
Bill Alexander is a fourth generation cattle producer who farms near Lenore, MB. Bill and his wife Darla recently signed two Con servation Agreements with Manitoba Habitat Herit age Corporation (MHHC) to protect their grassland pastures and preserve the natural ecosystems on their farm.“Our farm is strictly a cow-calf operation,” said Alexander. “The soil just isn’t suited to grain. The farm does much better in grass. Keeping it in pasture with perennial grass and forage cover really helps the“Mysoil.”neighbour was telling me about conserva tion programs that pro vide financial support to cattle producers to protect wildlife habitat, including grasslands,” Alexander said. “Darla and I checked out the programs being offered by a few conserva tion organizations. After contacting Ian Fortune, a habitat conservation specialist with Manitoba Habitat Heritage Cor poration, we found what weBillwanted.”and Darla’s farm plan to preserve and sus tainably manage their native and tame grassland pastures fit perfectly with MHHC’s goal to work with Manitoba cattle producers to protect grasslands and maintain healthy habitat for wildlife, waterfowl and Species at Risk. “It’s a great property,” said MHHC habitat spe cialist Ian Fortune. “Their farm happens to be located within the Mixed Grass Prairie target landscape and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan target landscape. That makes it a biodiversity hotWhenspot!”Bill Alexander’s great grandfather Frank Alexander homesteaded the farm 137 years ago, it was a broad fescue grass land plain with some hum mocky ridges, interspersed with lakes and sloughs. To day, the farm is a beautiful mix of grasslands, wood lands and wetland habitat.

“Most of the original Mixed Grass Prairie is now cultivated cropland, which is a challenge for wildlife and bird species that adapted to a grazed grassland ecosystem for 8,000 years prior to settle ment,” said Fortune. “The key to protecting grassland species is supporting cattle producers and their grass lands. From a resource inventory, MHHC found that the Alexander farm is host to a variety of grass land birds like Sharp Tail Grouse and many species of waterfowl such as Blue Winged Teal, Mallard and Northern Shoveler.”
“Darla and I decided to sign two Conservation Agreements with Mani toba Habitat Heritage Cor poration,” said Bill. “The Agreement is registered on the title of the land. It designates wildlife habitat areas that are protected in perpetuity, including our tame and native grassland pastures. We like that our Agreement allows us to rejuvenate the tame grasslands if the stand gets weak.”“There was some hesi tancy with signing up in perpetuity, but our grazing plan didn’t have to change and the financial compen sation for protecting the grassland pastures and habitat was pretty good,” Bill said. “I mean, you always want more, but it seemed“Workingfair.” with Ian through the process to sign up and register a Con servation Agreement with Manitoba Habitat Herit age Corporation went well,” said Bill. “MHHC looked after everything. Ian was excellent to work with.”Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation is a registered charitable habitat organization. For more information, check out the website at http:// mhhc.mb.ca

Continued from Page B2 From the original concept to comple tion, it took about two years for McKay to be able to start selling the product. He stated that the patent application was the one thing that took the longest. “When I phoned the patent lawyer, he wasn’t very optimistic that something like this hadn’t been done before,” McKay recalled. “And then after [looking into it], he comes back and he says, ‘You know, I’m a little surprised somebody hasn’t thought of McKaythis.’” stated that he’s always wanted to create something new and get a pat ent for it, but he never thought it would actually happen.

Hay Handler a concept that’s never been done
Penno’s has sold eight units so far and they have four made ready for sale cur rently. The Hay Handler is manufactured right at Penno’s, with the exception of the powder coating being done at a business near Brandon. It takes about two weeks to make one. The implement is compatible with most standard, large frame tractors with global loader brackets. McKay added if a cus tomer needed it to fit something different, they could build a version as per their request.More details on the Hay Handler, how it works and demonstration videos can be found at hayhandler.com or on Penno’s business website, pennosmachining.com.

Hoppers and moths Grasshoppers still re main a concern in some areas of the province. These pests may move as some crops mature or are cut. In addition to grass hoppers, crickets are also showing at high levels in many areas of the province. Although not generally re garded as a major concern in field crops, there have been past reports of them causing boll loss in flax. This year, agronomists have noticed them feeding on flax bolls, wheat seeds and on Diamondbackcanola. moths have been showing and their levels are being watched in some areas.

Among canola fields first surveyed, it has been noted that stem rot was not an issue, as most of these fields were sprayed with fungicides.However, in a visit to one field in the Rural Munici pality of Yellowhead, just south of Riding Mountain National Park, that had not been sprayed, it had an incidence of 13 per cent. That is, of the 100 plants Gavloski inspected, 13 were affected. Of the affected plants, the average severity of it was rated by Gavloski as a three on a zero-to-five scale.These results create a potential yield loss of ap proximately 50 per cent on infected plants, or 6.5 per cent over the whole field. With the assumption of an expected yield of 45 bushels per acre, that would mean a three bushel per acre loss or, at current prices, about $55 per acre.
