Snow Day results in snowmen! By Darci Semeschuk In true hardy prairie fashion, families rose to the occasion and took advantage of the “snow day” to build snowmen, perhaps for the first time this winter on March 5. Nearly one year to the day, Mother Nature has sent a reminder to Manitoba residents, “I’m in control.” Much of the province was blanketed in heavy snow, freezing rain, sleet, and wind resulting in wide spread road closures, school closures and bus cancellations on March 5. Manitobans woke up to find that their regular routes to work were shut down. In fact many highways in Manitoba were closed, including Highway 1 and didn’t reopen until midday Monday. It was a stark reminder of the blizzard that crippled the province in March of 2017. That storm left mountains of snow behind when it finally let up three days later. Weather forecasters were warning Westman for two days that that this storm was coming, so there was lots of warning to prepare. A very unpredictable Colorado Low left meteorologists admitting that they couldn’t predict exactly what would occur but that it would be significant. Souris residents reported power outrages on March 5 and the entire Southwest Horizon School Division was shut down. Many other divisions in the province were closed as well. The Manitoba Weather Centre reports that a second wave of snow coming up from North Dakota should be in southern Manitoba by early to mid afternoon, March 5, could be some thunder snow mixed in we will see this though. Another 5 to 10 or possibly 15 cm could accumulate with the next batch of snow bringing the total received in the Brandon area to 30 cm.

Doug Dodds finished the evening in third place. Dave also won the 50-50 draw. Twenty-three people wanting to make some noise again attended our bingo evening of March 1. Joan Phillips and Larry Neilson made three shouts. Making two yells were Viola Logan, Cindy Janz, Betty Devins, Barb Gordon and Dave Johnson. Norma Dodd’s daughter hollered only once, but did it on the Little House to receive $31. Our meat draw of Friday, March 2, was a busy evening. The only person to take home two meat packages was Don Smith and he had to draw his own number to do so. The 50-50 draw amounted to $142 and the winning number belonged to Blair Woods. Marion Morris attempted to find the Ace of Spades and take home $616.50 but the Ace
eluded her and will be looked for again next week. A little bird told me that Viola Logan would be celebrating her birthday on Sunday, March 4. On St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, we are planning to hold a “Fun Bonspiel.” There is a signup sheet in the clubroom. Of course, the curlers will have an evening meal and a chance at some prizes. If you are not participating in the fun curling, you can still get a meal ticket for $12. Just not sure how many extra tickets will be available.

EDITORIAL Second deadliest February in two decades recorded in 2018 submitted After declaring 2017 one of the safest years for road fatalities in 35 years, Manitoba Public Insurance reported today that a total of nine fatalities were reported last month, making February 2018 the second worst February for road deaths in two decades. When added to the four deaths recorded in January, the total number of road fatalities in the first two months of 2018 is nearly three times higher than in the same period last year and twice as high as the preceding five year average. “The number of fatalities on Manitoba roadways last month should be a wake-up call to all drivers, particularly with several weeks of winter weather and road conditions still ahead of us,” said Ward Keith, vice-president, Business Development and Communications, CAO, Manitoba Public Insurance. “Winter driving can be a challenge for the best of drivers but when combined with high-risk driving behaviours the outcomes can be tragic.” Although the full analysis of February fatal crashes is still in progress, preliminary data shows almost half of these crashes involved impaired driving and nearly two in three involved not wearing seatbelts. In two thirds of the crashes, speed is also suspected as a contributing factor, including driving too fast for road and weather conditions. “As we focus on making 2018 a safer year for collisions on Manitoba roadways,
it is essential that all drivers take personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of other road users,” said Keith. “Together we need to change the conversation about traffic safety and create a culture where even one fatality or serious injury is considered one too many. And that change needs to start now.” Safety tips that could save a life 1. Have a plan before you head out for an evening of partying – especially if you expect to be drinking or consuming drugs. Hire a cab, or vehicle for hire, or have a designated driver selected beforehand. 2. If you must text or answer the phone, pull your vehicle over to a safe area. Texting while driving takes your eyes off the road and significantly increases the chance of being involved in a collision. 3. Never get into a vehicle with a driver who has been drinking or consuming drugs. It could be the last thing you do. 4. Speed kills. Be aware of the posted speed limit and drive to road and weather conditions. 5. Buckle up – every time. Whether you’re a driver or passenger, and no matter how short your trip is. It takes one second and could very well save your life. 6. With another winter storm predicted to hit Manitoba this coming weekend, all motorists are encouraged to drive defensively, leave plenty of room between vehicles, keep windshields clear and drive to conditions. Road closures due to weather should also be observed as they are intended to keep road users safe.
Sports Ramblings By Dale McKinnon March means playoff time in hockey. It also means the season is over for some locals. McCullough Park, Grady Hobbs, Quin Hobbs all missed the MJHL or SJHL playoffs. Coaches Trent Cassan (Calgary) and Dustin Howden (Neepawa) are also on the outside looking in this season. In college hockey Nial Mills plays Liberty, March 10th in the ACHA Division 1 to try to reach the Final 4. Nial has 20 points for the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos. The Bronchos finished first in the WCHL division and are ranked 7th in the nation. Ashton Bell is second in scoring on the Minnesota Duluth NCAA division 1
womens team. The rookie has 23 points for the 15-15-4 Bulldogs. The Captain of the 2007-8 Brandon Wheat Kings that won an Olympic Silver medal was Daryl Boyle. Daryl was eligible to compete for the German team after playing the last seven seasons in the country. Lots of Boyle’s teammates were playing in the Tiger Hills league this year. Del Cowan-Hartney, Cale Jefferies-Glenboro, Matt Lowry-Neepawa and Tyler Dittmer - Boissevain all played with the Wheat Kings when Boyle was captain. This weeks question asks what player from this team plays for the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets? Good Luck to the Colts this weekend!
Insurance fraud affects everyone Manitoba Public Insurance has recorded nearly $40 million in claims savings over the last five years thanks to successful investigation efforts by the public auto insurer. March is Fraud Prevention Month in Canada and this year marks the 14th anniversary of the annual education and awareness campaign that encourages Canadians to recognize, reject and report fraud. “Insurance fraud is a crime that costs all rate payers,” said Ward Keith, vicepresident, Business Development and Communications, CAO, Manitoba Public Insurance. “This is why we have a dedicated focus on investigating potential fraudulent claims that may include vehicle arson, hit and run claims, staged collisions, false vandalism claims or arranged vehicle thefts.” Recorded claims savings over the last five years are based on a reconciliation of fraudulent claims denied, money recovered after payments were made, and customers withdrawing suspicious claims when put under investigation. In its efforts to keep automobile insurance rates as low as possible, the Corporation issues each year its highly popular Top 5 Fraud list. In addition, front-line staff receive specialized training to assist
in identifying suspicious claims which may then be reviewed by Manitoba Public Insurance’s Special Investigation Unit. Special investigators handle about 3,000 claims yearly. In addition to the efforts of its investigators, Manitoba Public Insurance has an excellent working relationship with police agencies throughout Manitoba. The Corporation also operates a dedicated TIPS Line, which is a valuable source of information for fraud investigators. Anyone with information about auto insurance fraud is encouraged to report their suspicions through the Corporation’s TIPS Line by calling 204-985-8477 or toll-free 1-877-985-8477. All calls are treated anonymously. More Information about Insurance Fraud: Fraud Prevention Month is an annual campaign held in March that aims to prevent Canadians from becoming victims of fraud. Insurance fraud – automobile, home or health care – costs Canadians more than $3 billion a year in premiums, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Organizations around the world lose an estimated five per cent of their annual revenues to fraud, according to a survey of fraud experts conducted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).

SPORTS The Female Atom A Provincial championships were held in Deloraine March 3 and 4. Southwest Wild Border Kings (based out of Boissevain) was the host team and they took home the silver medals. The final game was against Neepawa and it took double overtime to settle the winner. It was an amazing game, which could have gone either way throughout! Congratulations to the Wild for giving it your all and thank you for the excellent hockey to watch!

Southwest Wild Kings win provincial silver Sunday morning, Southwest Wild squeaked out a 5-4 win over Atomc Panthers in overtime, which sent them to the gold medal game. In the other semi-final game, Neepawa edged the Atomc Sharks to go to the gold medal game as well. The two Atomc teams played each other in the Bronze final with the Sharks being victors. Labroquerie defeated Cross Lake for the Consolation final. The gold medal game was all a final game should be — ending in double overtime. Neepawa and SW Wild were evenly matched and both teams fought hard to earn the win. It could have gone either way, but in the end, Neepawa notched the winning goal. There was a great effort from all the players and the rink was rock’n with lots of fans. A big shout out goes to Deloraine Minor Hockey as hosts and to Southwest Wild Border Kings host team for presenting an excellent provincial tournament and for being stellar ambassadors for southwest Manitoba!

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

CAAR Retailer of the Year
Virden Redferns branch recognized for achievements
Submitted Five Canadian agri-retailers were recognized for their achievements at the 11th annual CAAR’s Choice Awards Banquet in Saskatoon, Sask. “It is an honour and a privilege for CAAR to recognize our members’ outstanding commitment to business excellence, their communities and sustainability,” says Mitch Rezansoff, Executive Director of CAAR. “Putting competition aside for one night and coming together as an industry to celebrate our winners is extremely valuable. Their contributions to the agriculture industry give us all something to be proud of.”
The CAAR’s Choice Awards, the only Canadian awards program of its kind, recognizes agri-retailers in the following five categories: 4R Nutrient Stewardship Retailer of the Year, Agronomist of the Year, the Chairman’s Award, Retailer of the Year and the Retailer Hall of Fame Award. The Redfern Farm Services Virden branch was recently named the 2017 Canadian Association of AgriRetailers retailer of the year at the CAAR annual choice awards banquet dinner. Each winner was celebrated for their commitment to business excellence, sustainability and their local communities.
Redfern Farm Services in Virden is known as a leader in adopting new technology - whether it’s the newest hybrid seed technology or adoption of variable rate, mapping and data management. The Virden location also offers their customers access to Farmers Edge and Decisive Farming VRA services as part of their agronomy package. Since joining Redfern Farm Services in 2015, manager Lane Wanless has seen his location grow rapidly – adding both staff and physical space to the Virden location – and 2018 will be no exception. This summer, the team is looking forward to upgrades to the fertilizer plant, which will increase both capacity and speed of loading.

Opinion: Canada must increase productivity to remain competitive
Submitted by FCC Canadian farmers need to continue to focus on efficiencies and increased production of commodities in order to remain competitive within a rising tide of production around the world, according to J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist for Farm Credit Canada (FCC). “Our long-held reputation as a safe and reliable producer of high-quality food opens the door to existing and new export markets, but competitive pressures are mounting,” Gervais said, in releasing the latest outlooks for the agriculture and agri-food sector. “The game is quickly changing and it’s becoming more and more evident that it’s mostly about volume and value added.” Recent years of record-high production have boosted global stocks of many agriculture commodities. But even as the planted acreage of major crops in the United States is expected to be lower than its high in 2012-14, when it averaged almost 257 million acres, improvements in yields allow for continued growth in overall production. That’s why it’s important for Canadian agriculture to in-

vest in innovation that will enable continued growth in productivity. Gervais said increasing productivity doesn’t necessarily mean Canadian farmers need to expand their operations. “Canadian producers need to find ways of reducing costs while increasing productivity from their existing operations, whether that means increasing the yield per acre or getting more butterfat from a litre of milk,” he said. “Investments in innovation and technology will go a long way in ensuring Canadian agriculture remains productive, competitive and sustainable.” Gervais said changing food preferences are also driving investment decisions. For example, milk production in Canada is trending upward, requiring further invest-
ment in processing capacity. Canadian consumers also seek healthy and convenient food products, which is expected to trigger more investments in pre-packaged and easy-to-prepare foods. The food manufacturing sector’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 5.4 per cent higher than at the same time in 2016. “The climate for investment in Canadian food processing is positive, given a Canadian dollar under US$0.80, continued low interest rates and growing demand in the U.S.,” said Gervais, who projects exports of food manufactured products to the U.S. could increase again in 2018, despite the uncertainty surrounding current negotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Snow! A poem written by Russell William Johnson It came upon us in a quiet still night With stealthy calm and pure delight Though familiar window a novel sight For all that was dark is radiant light Treacherous, but soft and smooth Boisterous, kids in snowball feud Lustrous, a landscape dressed in nude Joyous, for a holiday mood Wonderful, these piles of snow Bountiful, or seems it so Youthful, away we go Mindful, sledding hill we know If only for a bit of time The snow it makes the world sublime Covers scars and dirt and grime If only for a bit of time
PHOTOS/SUBMITTED
Sam Klassen is thrilled with his snowman. He named it, appropriately, Happy!
Pictured here (L-R): Irina Penner spent time outdoors as the children, Carson, Lincoln, Riley Penner and Max Gowan created a snowman.
Hudson and Emmett Kozak and their mom went to work on creating a quirky little snowman on March 5. Mom looks a little less impressed than the kids do. I’m guessing they had more fun!
It’s difficult to judge who is happier, the kids or the snowman! Conlan and Braelyn Menard built a little guy with a huge smile!
Henry Gordon isn’t very please wit the fact that he had to work so hard on his snowman that he missed his nap. He says, enough, get me to bed!
Nashlynn Walker is tucked away in the fort that he helped build. It’s a perfect place to get out of the snow and stay warm!
Jordan Menard wanted to spend his snow day in a snow fort and that is just what he did. The walls are climbing on this baby!
