Ice patch causes rollover

Some early morning travellers were off to a bad start Monday morning. Around 8 a.m. on April 15th a Lexus SUV travelling from Toronto, ON to Edmonton, AB wound up in the ditch with its wheels in the air between Minnedosa and Basswood on Highway # 16. Th e driver lost control when the vehicle hit

a patch of ice causing it to careen across the oncoming lane, fl ip and land upside down in the south ditch. Fortunately, neither the driver nor passenger sustained any injuries. A similar incident, also caused by an ice patch on Highway #16, occurred near Newdale on Wednesday.

“Th e church is putting on a party. Th ey told me I don’t have to make no food, NOTHING. Just come. I didn’t ask them to do it. Th ey did it on their own.” Mary Gerbrandt is laughing about plans the Cov-enant Church made for her 100th birthday party last Sunday. “I was so surprised when my grandson asked me if I was excited. I said to him ‘why? Are you excited?’ And he said yeah!” After 99 birthdays, the 100th could really be just another day. In the life of a centenarian, the concept of time is something entirely diff erent. Like when Mary talks about her cancer surgery where the doc-tor said that the survival rate for people with her condition was fi ve years. Th at was 40 years ago.

Over 100 members at-tended the Minnedo-

sa Credit Union An-nual General Meeting. President Beth McNabb reported positive growth in 2012 with assets of $110 million. Loans increased from $49.5 million to $56.9

million, deposits from $92.7 million to $101 mil-lion and equity stood at $9.2 million; up from $8.4 million in 2011. Coinci-dentally, these gains were made in the same year as celebrating the United Na-tions Year of the Co-op with $70,000 in donations to the River’s Edge Park, MREC,

and the Tanner’s Crossing School Playground. MCU membership has dropped slightly from 3,850 to 3,650 due to an internal clean up of abandoned accounts, while patron-age refund stayed steady at $360,000, slightly lower than last year’s refund, and calculated based on

$16.5 for every $100 inter-est earned, $7.70 for every $100 paid. General Man-ager Brad Ross reports that this puts patronage refunds at $15 million over the last 15 years. Only one change hap-pened at the Board of Di-rectors with Bjarni Walter-son replacing Dave Pollon.

There was a lot of cheering and hollering at an as-sembly in the TCS gymnasium Friday afternoon

as students watched their Principal James Sheppard and Vice Principal Matt Rapsky go from full heads of hair to bare scalps. Sheppard and Rapsky agreed to have their heads shaved if the school could reach its goal in raising $900 for its two foster children. Th e students did not take this challenge lightly and in addition to fi lling coin collection jars in their classrooms, they also found other ways to fundraise for this worthwhile cause. A bake sale, toy sale and an anonymous donation helped TCS achieve its fund-raising goal.

Bye bye hair!

Thirty people gathered in front of M.P. Merv

Tweed’s Brandon constitu-ency offi ce on April 9th to oppose the introduction of genetically modifi ed al-falfa in Canada as part of a national day of action. While the variety registra-tion process is secret, there have been reports of US company Forage Genetics International consider-ing registering a Roundup Ready variety of alfalfa. Speakers at the gather-ing, which included mostly area farmers, consum-ers, and National Farm-ers Union representatives hoped Tweed would take special note of their con-cerns because of his role as chair of the Agriculture and Agri Food House of Commons Standing Com-mittee, which oversees the CFIA. Lucy Sharratt, Coor-dinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Net-work says that at this point, approval will be a matter of a rubber stamp by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Yet, Bran-donite Ian Grosser said there is still time to have an impact. “We’re hoping we can stop the process, and get a moratorium on the release.” Alfalfa is used as a feed, break crop, weed competi-

tor, and a foundation spe-cies. Organic farmers rely on it heavily to combat and crowd out weeds. While companies argue for coex-istence of GMO and non GMO alfalfa, farmers are saying this idea is a recipe for the elimination of non organic alfalfa in Canada. Organic dairy producer Larry Black says “you can’t get organic canola anymore because of the pollen spread” noting al-falfa is known to be even more susceptible to pol-len spread than canola. Th e problem will put into question organic licenses, but will impact non or-ganic farmers as well. For

example with GMO al-falfa is likely to emerge as a weed, since it is specifi -cally bred to be resistant to glyphosate. With the move towards more stringent la-beling requirements in the US, beef products fed with GMO alfalfa will also need to be labelled as such. Black emphasises, “I’m having a hard time fi nding any farmer who wants to buy this product.” Fa r m e r s a r e n ’ t t h e o n l y o n e s c o n c e r n e d a b o u t m a r k e t s . Ku r t Shmon, President of Impe-rial Seed, was quoted in Steinbach online on April 10th expressing concern that the introduction of GMO alfalfa will hurt ex-port markets. Shmon says it’s a mistake to leave mar-ket acceptance out of the approval process. “Currently, Canada exports over $20 million worth of forage and turf

seeds to GE sensitive mar-kets. We know Roundup Ready alfalfa will cross-pollinate with feral and conventional types of al-falfa. Eventually it will be found in one of our ship-ments, and no matter how good your co-existence plan is, it will be found, just like the experience was with Triffi d fl ax,” says Shmon. “Our science based ideas are not adequate,” he explains. “Th ere is no assessment of the mon-etary impact the GE prod-uct will have on the mar-ketplace. Where are the negative impacts beyond agronomic performance? Th ey are ignored and cov-ered with the statement ‘let the market decide.’ Th e market has decided, and the answer is no.” Merv Tweed was un-available for comment.

Minnedosa Town Council met for its

regular April meeting on Tuesday, April 9th in Coun-cil Chambers. In Mayor Orr’s absence, Deputy Mayor Wedgewood chaired the meeting. Councillors Taylor, Saler, Skatch, Luker and MacDowell were in at-tendance. Fred Sharpe, Chair of the Minnedosa and District Recreation Commission, appeared before council asking for some clarifi ca-tion on the reasoning for the Town’s annual contri-bution to the local arena. Currently, it comes to the Rec Commission and is then forwarded to the local minor athletic board rather than going directly to the minor board and cutting the Rec Commission out as the “middle man”. Th is practice has been done for many years and some new-ly elected Rec Commission board volunteers are ques-tioning why this practice

is being done. Council di-rected this question to the Town’s General Govern-ment Services subcommit-tee to try and determine the reasoning for this and if it is still required in the future. Following Fred’s pre-sentation, Bonnie Snezyk appeared before council on behalf of Yellowhead Re-gional Employment Skills and Services to bring mem-bers of council up-to-date on the upcoming funding cut from the Federal Gov-ernment, as reported in last week’s Tribune. An assistant has been hired by the Tanner’s Crossing Planning District and to accommodate this additional staff member, renovations to the plan-ning district offi ce, located on the second fl oor of the Town Hall were required. Council accepted the quote from Jim Henry Construc-tion at $2,800 plus GST for the project. Th e quote was the lowest of three bids re-ceived for the job. At the request of the

Minnedosa Valley Cruizers Car Club, Council autho-rized the closure of a por-tion of 2nd Avenue S.W. for two afternoons this sum-mer for the club to host a car show and shine. Council reviewed a quote of $3,409.55 re-ceived from Paladin Secu-rity to once again provide security at the Minnedosa Beach and campground during specifi ed dates dur-ing the summer months. Councillor Luker indicated a confl ict of interest and excused himself from this portion of the meeting. As council had some ques-tions regarding the sub-mitted quote, it was decid-ed to defer this resolution to a future council meeting in order to get clarifi cation from Paladin. Th e summer coun-cil meeting schedule was adopted. Beginning with its May meeting, Council will meet one hour later, at 6:30 p.m. Th is practice will continue throughout Sep-tember.

The Minnedosa Youth Soccer Association

is looking for referees and coaches for the 2013 spring season. Th ere will be free referee clinic on May 4th and 5th for those who will go on to ref games throughout the season. Referees are paid for their work according to the age group of the teams. Glen McNabb says the associa-tion is especially looking for young adults who want to ref, as young as 12 years old. Th e association is also seeking coaches. Training is available, and McNabb says the association makes a point of mentoring new coaches. Finally, the As-sociation is seeking new members for the board of directors, and general vol-unteers.

What the associa-tion is not looking for is more players (though if you’re really keen, they can likely fi nd space for you). McNabb says that 80 athletes are registered for the under eight-year-old house league. 145 players are registered for teams from 10-18 years old. As long as the snow clears, the annual soc-cer pitch clean up will happen on Sunday, April 28th. Players show up with wheel barrows, rakes and

shovels, to get the fi elds ready. All are welcome. Organized soccer has been happening in Minnedosa since 1983. McNabb says there are ex-citing accomplishments every year, like last year when April Bilcowski, Chelsea Hodgeson, Toni-elle Bachewich, Ashley Robinson, Cameron Par-rott, Hanna Yuen, Kailyn Turner, Telecia Dowsett, and Ridha Moine made Brandon travelling teams.

SUBMITTED

More than 40 stu-dents from Assini-

boine Community Col-lege (ACC) competed in the 16th annual Skills Manitoba competition held in Winnipeg at Red River College and Winni-peg Technical College on Th ursday, April 11th. ACC brought home 12 medals in total, half of which were gold. Th ere were also three silver and three bronze medals that were awarded to ACC students, competing in a variety of diff erent cat-egories. Minnedosa’s Robert Prettie brought home a Gold medal in Heavy Equipment Service/ Heavy Duty Equipment Technician. Skills Manitoba, a time-limited contest, is an impressive display of

hands-on expertise and talent that showcases the diversity in the trades and technology fi elds, as well as the many excit-ing careers to be had in these occupations. More

than 500 secondary and post-secondary students from across the province competed in 40 diff erent contests while supported by 300 volunteers.

Dear Editor,

This letter is in response to the recent so called “attack ads” put

out by the federal Conservative party against the new Liberal party leader Justin Trudeau. I am not writing this in order to favour one party over the other, but instead I would like to point out that criticizing a person and getting per-sonal about someone’s profession, personality, family, ideas, intelli-gence, is all part of bullying. Th e reasons that people - adults and children - bully is because they are afraid and they are somehow un-happy with themselves and feel they have to put others down to make themselves feel good. Have there not been major prob-

lems recently associated with bully-ing among children and adults alike? Why are the leaders of this country participating in the very thing that they are trying to prevent in our young people? It is now time to STOP attacking others - in politics and in life. Just STOP! If you are happy with who you are, you don’t criticize and you don’t put others down. If you are not hap-py, work on fi nding out why and make changes. Criticism is NOT human nature - it is the addiction of an unhappy person. If you are truly happy with your life you don’t need to put oth-ers down to make yourself bigger. I now implore ALL politicians to follow this advice and make the

changes in their lives that are nec-essary to be happy and good, no, GREAT examples to the children and youth of this and other coun-tries. Stop the personal attacking of other politicians in order to get ahead in your profession. Use kind-ness and cooperation instead. Any time you attack another politician or person for any reason you are show-ing your unhappiness in life and your desperation. Examples of kind-ness and cooperation could change the world. Isn’t that why you got into politics in the fi rst place?

Sincerely,

Anne Bachewich,Sandy Lake, MB

Dear Editor:

I was extremely heartened to read in last week’s

Cops’ Corner that Con-stable Justin Huddle is will-ing to co-organize a second chili cook-off ! Th e Minnedosa RCMP detachment also hosts the annual soapbox derby dur-ing Fun Fest week in July and it is clear by the enthu-siasm with which our offi -cers embrace these events that community involve-ment – not just law enforce-ment – is very important to them. Kudos to them for reaching out to the public and working to dispel the myth of an intimidating, inpersonable law enforce-

ment. To highlight this point, in regards to the chili cook-off I was told by one law en-forcement offi cial that they love participating in events with the community, but they don’t usually get the chance because no one ever asks them! Th is par-ticular offi cer thanked me very much for “thinking of us”. Th e RCMP wants to be an active, positive presence in our community and I would encourage the pub-lic to reach back with just as much enthusiasm!

Sincerely,

Amanda BoydToronto, ON

Twenty years ago...

Demolition of the old Minnedosa District Hospital began this week in 1993. For those who do not remember the former hospital, it was located just west of the

Minnedosa Personal Care Home. Th e original section of the hospital opened on April 21st, 1950 with an addition being built in 1967. With the opening of the current hospital in 1991,

there was much debate and controversy over the future of the old hospital building before it fell to the hands of a demolition crew in April 1993.

Forty-one 4-H mem-bers from across the

South Parkland GO Team Area participated in the Area Communications event held in the Hamiota Collegiate on March 22nd, 2013. It was truly an en-tertaining evening with speeches as well as one and two person visual presentations given to friends, families and a panel of judges. Th e prize was a chance to compete in the Provincial Communica-tions Extravaganza in Portage, April 13th. Th is year, 4-H’s 100th Anni-versary, the incentive is a little more appealing with FCC off ering cash awards to the winners in each of the four speech categories at the provincial level. Th e presentations are not eli-gible for FCC Awards but

will receive normal recog-nition. In the junior public speaking category, Lau-ren McKee of the Rapid City 4-H Rodeo Club placed fi rst with her topic “Stuck in the Middle”. Jes-sica Young of the Miniota Merry 4-H’ers was second with her talk about “Terry Fox’s Big Run”. In the intermedi-ate public speaking area, Dylan Oshanyk of the Neepawa and Area 4-H Beef Club placed fi rst with his talk “Weathering the Storm” while Han-na Tolton of the Kenton Kraftsmen placed second with her topic “A Vision”. Alanna Orsak of the Binscarth Home Ettes took the senior competi-tion with her speech “Th e Next Big Th ing”. Brooke Tolton of Kenton Krafts-men placed second with her topic “Th e Overlooked Problem”. Jenna Usick and Mad-ison Huculak of the South

Mountain Multi Purpose Club did a junior 2 person visual entitled “Ukraine”. Th ey will be participating in Portage as well. Leland Bramley and Tristan Labelle of the Minnedosa Multi Purpose 4-H Club used a visual presentation to talk about “Survivor Kids” in the in-termediate category. Broddi Bjarnarson of the Neepawa and Area 4-H Beef Club with his topic “What is Th is?”, placed fi rst in the junior one person visual category. In second place was Erica Alex of the Minnedosa Western Rid-ers speaking about the “Creatures of the Calgary Zoo”. In the intermediate one person category Sara Hunter of the Rapid City 4-H Rodeo Club placed fi rst with her topic “Six String Strummer” while Orianna Hyndman of the McConnell 4-H Beef Club placed second with her topic “Konichawa”. Robyn Gerrard of the Strathclair 4-Her’s will be competing in Portage with her senior one person vi-sual presentation “Are you Ready?” and in second place was Katie Hunter of the Rapid City 4-H Rodeo Club with her presenta-tion entitled “Bring on the Challenge”. With the change in ages for 4-H members this year we had two new levels of competition. Th e Cloverbuds, which are ages 7 and 8, and the Adult category which are ages 18 to 25. Th e Cloverbuds do not go on to Provincial Level to compete in Portage but they did get to com-pete at Area Level. In the Cloverbud Public Speak-ing it was Madison Tei-

chroeb from the Neepawa and Area 4-H Beef Club that won with her speech entitled “Springtime is When…” and second place winner was Kasey Fouil-lard of the Decker Coun-try Riders with her speech called “Can we go to Dis-neyland?” We also had Torynn Dmytriw of the Minnedo-sa Multi Purpose 4-H Club doing a one person visual presentation entitled “Tu Tu Adorable”. Th e Adult category does go on to compete at Provincial Level and in that category we had Charlee McLaughlin-Ven-tor from the Minnedosa Western Riders with her speech entitled “Th e APBT Fact or Fiction”. Each member was

presented with a 100th Centennial 4-H Participa-tion Certifi cate and the fi rst and second place winners received a token from the South Parkland Area Council. Th e judges included: Gerald Negrave, Faye Bridge, Heather Rothnie, Chris Obach, Pat Ramp-

ton, Jolene Hodgins, Gwen Argue, Leah Obach, Roberta Hickman, Mari-anne Whyte, Linda Clark and Aude Pingard. We appreciated the work of the panel of judg-es in each room who adju-dicated the members and added valuable comments for each group.

During the recent Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, two local cowgirls competed and did very well in barrel

racing. Minnedosa’s Brittany Marshall, with her horse Strea-kin Chili Cash, (pictured above) won a second place rib-bon in the fi rst go in 1st “D” with a time of 15:330. In this same event, Leeza Miller of Rapid City, with her horse, Gator, placed sixth with a time of 15:734. In the second go, Leeza came out in top spot in 2nd “D” with a time of 16.250. For her fi rst place achievement, Leeza was awarded a blanket. Brittany won third place in 1st “D” in the second go with a time of 15.353. After two go’s Brittany fi nished in second place overall.

Th e doctor might have picked up that Mary would last a little longer. Dur-ing the surgery, it became clear that a childhood ill-ness her mother identifi ed as scarlet fever had actu-ally been rheumatic fever; and that she had been lucky to live that through. Still, she says, “they made sure I would get my pen-sion right away,” since her life expectancy was so short. At 59 she was tech-nically too young to re-ceive a pension. Mary doesn’t appear to be someone who re-lies on luck. She seems grounded in reality, taking life as it comes. Her daughter Sue Malfait says that she worked all her life. “Th at’s why I got so old,” Mary jokes. “We were born with work. I loved it. I was sev-en or eight when I milked my fi rst cow. But dad would never let me carry the pails. No heavy work for me.” She r e m e m -bers her dad, Abram Hiebert, as a man who r e s p e c t e d her mother, Aganetha. Abram seemed to try and compensate for Aga-netha’s hard childhood of working to support her family, making sure she never had to carry out the washwater, and other ges-tures. “When I married, I thought that would hap-pen to me too, but I found out that wasn’t true!” Th e eldest of eight, Mary (born Maria Hiebert) was born in the Dunelm School District in

Saskatchewan. Her family moved to Carrot River, SK when she was 16. Th ere, her dad hired George (Gerhardt) Gerbrandt to cut fi rewood. She mar-ried George when she was 17, and had her fi rst baby when she was 18. Again, joking, Mary quips, “I was really a kid that should have a good licking and get sent to work, but there was no work for the people then.” It was 1930 when they got married. “I didn’t care for him at fi rst, but I never would have changed it. Dad gave me all the supplies to run the homestead after we were married: horses, cows and pigs. Th ey were all mine.” She and George had fi ve children - Nettie, Clara, Sharon, Garry, and Sue. “I just looked after them between the chores,” she says. After her mother died, Mary and George moved the family close to Arden,

MB in 1960 and kept farming on two quar-ters of land. Th en there was a year when the debts were piling up. She went to work at the eviscer-ating plant in Neepawa, while continuing to

take a big role farm work. Daughter Sue says that George was often away working - cutting wood, or working as a mechanic on jobs that would take him away for a few nights at a time. After she was married, Mary and George were heading home in a cutter with two of their children. Th ey could take a short cut if they made it through the ditch; risky during spring break up. “If he had lis-

tened to me we wouldn’t have been in that trouble! I said that the ice wasn’t strong enough to cross. But he went across, and well, we got dumped in the water. But none of us got hurt. Nettie (the old-est) was sitting in front and she hung on to the board, so she didn’t fall in. But Clara and I, we fell. It was cold! We were cold! If we had walked, it would have been okay, but with the horses, the ice wasn’t strong enough. When we got home, we made a fi re. I couldn’t’ talk out loud for a while. I had laryngitis or whatever you call it.” When asked about other accidents or scary times, Mary replies sim-

ply: “I always trusted God. My grandma taught if you prayed, God would an-swer. I always trusted He would help us and help my parents get home. We learned to love the Lord right as we grew up! Grandma would pray with us. My dad was very tight going to church. Th ere weren’t many Sundays when he didn’t do his chores early in the morn-ing and then get there. Most the times he tried to get us all to church togeth-er.”

Faith mattered a lot when the First World War began. “My mom and grandma always prayed for the people in the war and for my uncle who went there, and we think that’s why he came back. He was a school teacher before he went to war. Not many people who came back from war were healthy. He died with liver cancer when he was 59.” Mary went to school for a few years growing up, fi rst at a German school, and then to an English school when the Dunelm school was fi nally built, b u t s a y s , “ I could read and write and do arithmetic be-fore I went to school. My dad taught us in be-tween times.” Learning was an active part of farm life, and Mary didn’t continue at school long. “We were born farm-ers, and my dad thought farming was the only good thing in the world. We were always proud to be on the farm.” Sue confi rms that this pride was obvious in Mary’s constant produc-tion; reporting an enor-mous garden at the Arden farm which fi lled visitors’ car trunks with vegetables to last an entire season and then some. “And you had sheep, too, mom. Re-member? I would shear the sheep with you and then you would make

socks, mittens and quilts.” Having sheep was good for money from lambs’ meat, and the older sheep ended up as good family meals when needed. Sue continues, “Mom would take raw wool and wash and card it, and then roll it on her knee to make the yarn. Th en she would just knit that. She sold mitts at the store. She bought a lot of groceries with that wool.”

Mary moved into Arden in 1987 when her husband, George died, and then came to Mi n n e d o s a in the early 2000s. She lives on her own, usu-ally skipping ahead of her h o m e c a r e worker and making her

own meals before their daily rendezvous. A tray is set out with soil, ready to start her tomato plants from seed. She complains a bit about her hearing aids, which she sent for in her 89th year. “It’s from the Hieberts!” she rea-sons. “My mother’s side really - the Ukrainians. Her family was born deaf and what-all.” But aside from that, and a broken arm last year, she insists, rather unnecessarily “I have a very healthy body! Th e doctor says if my heart was strong (which she takes medication for), I would be very strong.”

Mary at age 16 in 1929. “I had to convince my brother to take this picture,” recalls Mary.

In the program’s sec-ond year, 38 grade fi ve

students from Tanners Crossing School (TCS) graduated from the Drug Abuse Resistance Program (DARE). DARE began in the 1980s in Los Angeles, as a program to off er tools to youth to support decision

making around drug use. RCMP Constable Chad Fenning off ers the pro-gram locally, as he says, “If there is a tool we can pro-vide to help kids make a good decision, I’ll do it.” For him, the reality is that everyone is faced at one point or another with the choice of drug use whether legal or illegal; so they might as well be ready for it. “At the grade fi ve age, youth are still re-ceptive to hearing from us;

whereas teenagers tend to be more interested in what their friends have to say.” Youth at the gradua-tion were asked to report what they have learned, piping up with facts about what drugs are illegal or not, and their eff ects. Sarah Sylvester and Josh Cameron read their es-says submitted as a part of the course before the party was capped off with cake and cupcakes.

The Minnedosa District Recreation Commis-

sion hosted another suc-cessful Sports Dinner on the evening of Saturday, April 13th. Th e 16th annual Sports Dinner was held at the Minnedosa Communi-ty Conference Centre and featured emcee Big Daddy Taz and keynote speaker, Jennifer Botterill. Jennifer is a Cana-dian hockey player who has earned three Olym-pic Gold Medals (2002, 2006 and 2010). She also earned a Silver Olympic medal in 1998 and is a fi ve-time World Champion. In 2001 and 2004 Jennifer was named MVP of the World Championships. She has received the Patty Kazmaier Award, which is presented to the top player in NCAA women’s hockey, two times and was the leading scorer of the CWHL in 2008.

Saturday afternoon, before the Sports Dinner, the public had an oppor-tunity to meet Jennifer at the local arena, get an au-tograph and have a picture taken with her. Some also enjoyed free skating with the sports champion. At the Sports Dinner, Jenni-fer had many of her med-als on display and gave an interactive presentation which was enjoyed by the 125 people in attendance. Th e evening featured a delicious roast turkey and ham dinner catered by Heather’s Catering and a successful silent auction featuring some 40 prizes. In addition to generous donations of prizes from local businesses, some of the larger, highlight items included a set of Winnipeg Jets tickets, signed Bomb-ers seats and signed NHL jerseys. Again this year, those in attendance at the Sports Dinner had an op-portunity to try their luck

in choosing the lucky key to open a treasure chest for a grand prize of a $1,000 travel voucher from Val-ley Royal Travel. Marjorie McNabb was the winner of this prize. Th e Sports Dinner re-ceived great support from sponsors again this year with three Gold sponsors, one Silver Sponsor, three Bronze sponsors and nine Table sponsors. During the evening, local volunteerism and athletic talent was recog-nized with the presenta-tion of the annual Dedica-tion to Sport award. Th is year, two recipients were honoured with this presti-gious award; Orville Madill for his involvement with the Minnedosa Maver-icks and Dr. Gavin Roche for his years of service to the local rugby program. Th e Clanwilliam Greys were also presented with an achievement award for their upcoming induction

into the Manitoba Softball Hall of Fame. Watch next week’s Tribune for feature stories on the Dedication to Sport Award winners. Th e Sports Dinner is hosted annually as a fund-

raiser for the Minnedosa District Rec Commis-sion’s grant intake pro-gram, which supports local sports/ physical activity/leisure groups and proj-ects in the community. Th e

deadline for applications for the spring intake is May 24th. To obtain an applica-tion package please con-tact Rec Director Jolene Young at the Rec Offi ce.

The Manitoba Agricul-tural Hall of Fame will

be honouring 4-H leaders in Manitoba by inducting them into the Hall of Fame in 2013 to mark 4-H’s 100th Anniversary. “Th e 4-H program ex-ists because of its volun-teer leaders. Th ese lead-ers put in countless hours mentoring, planning, teaching and being devot-ed to their 4-H members. Youth learn by observing adults, and we couldn’t ask for better role models than our 4-H leaders,” says Carrie Tapp, President of the Manitoba 4-H Coun-cil, noting that Manitoba 4-H Council is thrilled that 4-H leaders are being recognized for their con-tributions. “As a 4th genera-tion 4-H member, and now leader, I take pride in knowing that I have

taught life-learned skills to our leaders of tomor-row,” comments Kyla Or-chard, Head Leader of the Roland Home Ec Club.Th e Manitoba Agricul-tural Hall of Fame was established in 1976, with its objective being to ac-knowledge persons who have made a signifi cant and outstanding contri-bution to the welfare and improvement of Manitoba agriculture and to a better way of life for farm fami-lies. Th is is only the second time since the inception of the Manitoba Agricul-tural Hall of Fame that a group of people has been recognized. Th e plaques are displayed in the Key-stone Centre in Brandon, Manitoba. Nominees are evaluated based on nine criteria including innova-tive contributions, local, provincial, national and international impact, ser-vice to agriculture and

home life, and lasting in-fl uence. “I had many 4-H calves in my youth. I will always be grateful to my 4-H club leaders who vol-unteered their time,” notes Bill Anderson, President of the Manitoba Agricul-tural Hall of Fame. In 2013, 4-H, one of the most widely recog-nized and highly respect-ed youth development programs in rural Canada, is celebrating the Cen-tennial anniversary of its Canadian origins, rooted in Roland, Manitoba. Vol-unteer leaders have been essential to the develop-ment of the 4-H program from its inception until today. Th rough the im-measurable contribution of tens of thousands of dedicated and committed volunteer leaders, this sto-ried program has touched countless lives over the past 100 years.

In response to the an-nouncement of the 2013 inductees, Honourable Ron Kostyshyn, Minister for Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Initia-tives, replied: “I’d like to congratulate Manitoba’s 4-H volunteer leaders for being inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame. Your work as volunteer 4-H lead-ers deserves to be rec-ognized for helping our province’s youth develop important skills in lead-ership, problem-solving and communication. I want to take this opportu-nity to thank you for your dedication and for giving back to our communities.”

Many activities are being planned across the country to celebrate the 100th anniversary. A Gala reception will be held at the Fairmont Ho-tel in Winnipeg on May 30, 2013, in conjunction with 4-H Canada’s Annual General Meeting. Dr. Ro-berta Bondar, Canada’s fi rst female astronaut, will be the much anticipated keynote speaker. Tickets are available through the 4-H Canada website and all former and current members and leaders are encouraged to attend. Th e following eve-ning on May 31st, Premier Selinger and other special guests will be heading to

Roland, MB, home of Canada’s fi rst 4-H club, for a Night at the 4-H Mu-seum. Th is free evening is open to the public and will feature a variety of special presentations, along with a rededication of the cairn erected in 1963 for the 50th anniversary. Mem-ber projects will be on display along with some 4-H project cattle and a local club will perform a musical ride. In honour of 4-H’s association with Food Banks Canada, a col-lection will be taking place for the local food banks throughout the evening. After a bonfi re and wiener roast, fi reworks will cap off the night of celebration.

Local grade fi ve stu-dents had the chance

this past winter to preview careers as a part of the an-nual career trek project. Off ering the chance to try out a selection 48 diff erent careers, the program runs on Saturdays at Brandon University, Assiniboine Community College and Westbran Training Centre. Students apply to participate, and have to be nominated by their schools. “We had the (in-troductory) presentation at my school, and when they talked about how (in

one of the medicine based workshops) we would get to try out cutting open sheeps’ eyes, I thought that was pretty cool,” says Aid-en Sam from Erickson Ele-mentary. “Plus I thought it would be fun to meet new people.” He loves Judge Judy and thought he want-ed to be a lawyer. But now that he’s completed the program, he’s changed his mind. “I want to be a cop!” he says. “We got to be de-tectives, fi gure out who the killer was. We got to fi nger-print our own hands. It was great!” Laura Pepper from Rivers Elementary attend-

ed with schoolmates Jor-dan McLeod, Taryn Erick-son, Shelby Bartlett, and Anthony Howton. Th ough she was pretty sure before entering the program that she wanted to be an an-thropologist, it was con-fi rmed in the forensic sci-ence day she was a part of. “I like science. Th e way it opens up your mind. In school we’ve studied the diversity of living things and now we’re doing elec-tricity.” Th e workshop she went to was similar to Aiden’s cop workshop. “We went through a mur-der case and were able to measure human bones,” she says. Rob Marriott of Career Trek says this bodes well for students’ future em-ployment prospects. “We know that early interven-tion is needed so that kids will be interested enough to go to post secondary education which is impor-tant since 70% of jobs will require some kind of PSE when these kids are ready to work. In the program, students get 15 minutes of instruction and 40 minutes of hands-on experience for each session, and we think this helps them make ap-propriate decisions about their future.” Of course, priorities for a 10-year-old are a little more focused than a far-off job. Aiden states why he would recommend the program to others: “I would tell people ‘you get to look at DNA!’ It’s really cool.”

This report outlines my second round of a two-

year volunteer assignment with the Canadian Coop-erative Association, which took place from January 18th - February 1st. I was again selected to travel to Uganda, in East Africa, to be part of a team of 16 Credit Union and Co-op volunteers from across Canada, to assist with development activi-ties, from a Credit Union and Cooperative perspec-tive. Th ese Coaching/Mentoring teams of two, travelled to Northern Uganda and spent up to three days in rural Uganda Credit Unions. My partner this year was from VanC-ity Credit Union in Victo-ria, B.C. We worked with management, staff and Board members, to review procedures, and to try and bring a Canadian perspec-tive to their operations, fi -nancial management and governance issues. Each group was mandated to learn about their opera-tions and challenges, and to come up with joint recommendations. While each had unique chal-lenges, many issues were similar. Our time was spent in the most northerly region of the West Nile

District, very close to the South Sudan and Congo borders. Koboko Sacco (Savings and Credit Co-operative) was one of two Credit Unions that we vis-ited, and is the largest and one of the more success-ful Saccos in this northern region. Koboko is also the hometown of the infa-mous Ugandan dictator from the 1970’s and early 80’s, IDI AMIN. While there, we also visited with some local entrepreneurs and toured a small farm operation, where they grew cassava, mangos, coff ee, bananas, papaya and pineapple. Th ese small Credit Unions are creating jobs and opportunities, grant-ing loans to farmers and businesses, creating a sav-ings culture, assisting with school fees to improve ed-ucational opportunities, and promoting gender equality. Th ese partners are turning poverty into prosperity through co-operative action. Despite challenges, such as having no hydro electricity in this town, they continue to prosper and build capaci-ty. While some of the chal-lenges facing these com-munities seem daunting, they tend to underscore the main issue, that pov-erty is the global challenge of our time. Th e Board and staff members of this rural

African Credit Union were very grateful for our guid-ance and assistance, and felt that our commitment to their ongoing develop-ment was admirable. Canadians and their Credit Unions are mak-ing a diff erence through CCA’s International De-velopment Program, who work directly with the UCA (Uganda Coopera-tive Alliance) to show and tell the world about the many ways that Credit Unions and Cooperatives are helping to build a bet-ter world.

Many years ago, when I fi rst started to work

for the Park, I came across a drama that had just hap-pened. I was skiing to the offi ce on a foggy morning when I came across two sets of tracks, one from a wolf, the other from a deer, sketched on the freshly fallen snow. Th e tracks led to a freshly killed deer, still warm to the touch. I had a sense that I was being watched, but the fog was so thick that I couldn’t see the wolf that I was sure was just beyond view. I returned to the area in better light, and could easily read the entire event from start to end – where the wolf had chased the deer out of the forest and onto the ice, the three or four spots where the deer had been knocked down by the wolf. It provided great in-sight into how a wolf makes a kill, and being young, I assumed that I would see these kinds of events many times in my new Park job. Of course, my expec-tations proved a bit opti-mistic, and it was a long stretch before I could play detective once again. It

wasn’t every day that the conditions were just right for recording the dramas that regularly play out in the Park. Until this past February, that is. Th is latest event be-gan, once again, with me on my skis. I was looking for signs of wolves in an area where I knew they were active, hoping to fi nd something of interest. Sure enough, I soon came across a set of wolf tracks, and I followed them. As I came out of the forest, into a large mead-ow, I began to hear ravens and magpies squawking. Th ere was quite a commo-tion going on, but I had quite a time pinpointing the source of the noise. I fi nally spotted a tornado of ravens fl ying up out of an area across the prairie, marking the spot, I as-sumed, of something dead. I skied toward the spot, stopping every once in a while to scan the area with my binoculars. My hope was to see wolves on a carcass. No such luck. However, when I got with-in 150 metres of the centre of commotion, I did see a Fisher bounding about. I was moving into the wind, very slowly, so

it didn’t see or hear me. I was able to watch it for over 10 minutes, as it cen-tred its attention on the as-sumed dead animal which I still couldn’t see. It was the longest I have ever watched a Fisher, a nice bonus to the day’s obser-vations. After those long min-utes, the Fisher fi nally bounced away. Th is was my cue to move closer to what I now just fi gured had to be a dead animal. Sure enough, once I got with-in 10 metres, I could see something furry lying in deep snow and hidden by fallen trees. It turned out to be a young White-tailed Deer. It was still relatively fresh and remained unfrozen, despite the relatively cold temperatures. If I was to guess, I would say that it had been killed less than six hours before. However, most of the deer was already con-sumed, with only one of the hind legs and the head untouched. Th e ribcage was partially intact, but the internal organs were all gone, and the gut pile was all that marked the deer’s last meal. Judging from the tracks, it had been killed by wolves – at least three of them, judging from both the number of tracks and by how much of the deer had been consumed.

Luckily, it had snowed approximately 5 cm the day before, and just like the event many years be-fore, the snow provided the perfect record of the whole event. Th ere, along the south side of a small copse of as-pen and spruces, were the tracks of the young deer. I could even see where the deer had been feeding on exposed grasses, appar-ently feeding all alone. Ten metres away I could see where a pair of wolves had come out of another group of spruces. Whether the lead wolf paused a second before it attacked, I couldn’t make out. If it did, it didn’t stop long, as the wolf’s stride suddenly went from a trot to full lunges 1.5 metres apart, bounding through the soft snow. Th e deer must have quickly sensed the wolves’ approach, and made a panicked dash through the spruces and aspen. Small branches lay broken on the fresh snow where the deer ploughed through the bushes in its attempt to es-cape. Th e lead wolf swung to the right, avoiding the trees, and perhaps cutting off the deer’s escape. Th e chase went about 20 me-tres before a number of splotches of blood marked where the wolf made fi rst contact with the deer. Th e

deer made it another 10 metres before it was hauled down. Judging from the tracks and distances, the chase must have lasted less than 20 seconds. Interestingly, a third set of wolf tracks marked the arrival of another wolf from ahead and to the left of the deer. It almost seemed as if the wolves had surrounded the deer on two sides. It was un-clear, however, whether this wolf aided in the kill, or was simply coming to join the feast. Knowing that the wolves had not likely gone far, I didn’t stick around

too long in an eff ort to not disturb them. I did, how-ever, take the femur back to the lab to look at the bone marrow. It turned out that the deer was in good shape, with white, fi rm bone marrow in its leg bone, indicating that it was still healthy and relatively fat. Interestingly, on my ski home, I spooked three deer less than 300 metres away, apparently uncon-cerned about the drama that had unfolded close by. I wonder if they were thinking “better her than me”?
