Snow removal and staffinglevels seemed to take up most ofthe discussion at Tuesday’smunicipal candidates forum.

The forum was hosted by theRoblin & District Chamber ofCommerce and – as always –capably moderated by RandyMoffit.

In his opening remarks,Kevin Arthur welcomed all the

candidates and citizens in atten-dance on behalf of the chamberand thanked everyone for com-ing.

He noted that he’s never hadthe opportunity to vote in amunicipal election because ofacclamations.

“It’s good to see the interest,”he said.

Those sentiments wereechoed by Moffit who alsonoted that while most politicians

always say how important elec-tions are, the upcoming electionis an important one because can-didates and voters have the priv-ilege of being in on the groundfloor of a new municipality.

He said it’s a good sign forthe future of our community tosee the support from theratepayers, and the number ofcandidates running.

Candidates, in random order,were given two minutes for

opening statements.

Jeremy AndresA current councillor for the

RM of Hillsburg, and a farmerand businessman, JeremyAndres – in perfect comedicstyle – began his remarks bydeadpanning that the upcomingelection “is the most importantelection yet”.

Great attendance at forum

A balanced learning environmentChad Peter’s Grade 3/4 class at Roblin Elementary School is the only primary class in the Mountain View School Division to be furnished

according to Balanced Learning Environment standards. While there are a couple of traditional desks and chairs for students who prefer them,the classroom does not conform to traditional furnishings or layout with rocking chairs, office chairs, Smurf-like chairs that wobble back andforth and from side to side as well as tables for kids who prefer to work alone or in a group or even stand up. The teachers desk, front left, is

moveable and features a white board top. As well, the students have access to iPods – which they can use without asking permission – and areawaiting a “laser board”. The kids said they really enjoy the classroom and are finding out that it is making sitting in class and learning easier.

2 THE REVIEW TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2014

Back on trackCROSSROADS THIS WEEK––After a year ofdelays, the Shoal Lake regional chapter of Habitatfor Humanity has scheduled a building blitz to getits first home built in the community. The five-daywork bee is set to start Oct. 30 and the group ishoping community members get involved. Theprovincial body has committed to sending out acouple of staff contractors to help get the houseframed and locked down, noted chair JamieBradshaw of Binscarth.

Costs adding upTHE WORLD-SPECTATOR––The town ofMoosomin doesn’t have a final tally of the damagecosts from this summer’s flooding and more watermain breaks than usual over the winter but damageat the pool alone was close to $160,000. The townspent at least $30,000 in rentals of pumps and otherequipment to deal with the flooding. Insurance isexpected to cover most of the costs at town facilities.

CFIA staffer assaulted RUSSELL BANNER––While CFIA vets and staffwere attending to a farm north east of Inglis onSept. 19 performing federally mandated tests onlivestock heading to market, one of the staff wasassaulted by the livestock owner. Subsequently, BillMansell, 77, was arrested and charged with assault.The alleged assault by Mansell of a CFIA vet thispast May under similar circumstances is still beforethe courts.

Fewer pumpkinsTHE EXPONENT––J & L’s Pumpkin Patch inGilbert Plains has had a challenging but successful2014 growing season. Pumpkins were harvestedbetween Sept. 12 and 16 and even though the patchwas a bit bigger than last year’s, the overall yieldwas down. It is predicted there will be a pumpkinshortage this year because many crops in southernManitoba and Saskatchewan were wiped out. J &L’s has partnered with co-op stores in Dauphin,Grandview and Roblin again this year.

NCHL says noKAMSACK TIMES––The Kamsack SeniorFlyers will not be playing in the North CentralHockey League this season. The Flyers’ bid wasrejected by a vote of five to four.

He’s a farmer, a busi-ness owner, a familyman, and a resident ofRoblin – something hethinks gives him anadvantage when it comesto understanding townspecific issues.

Andres said he treatspeople fairly, equally andwith respect and has acommon sense approachthat serves him well inbusiness, or in dealingwith municipal issues.

He believes the newmunicipality can be runmore efficiently, savingmoney for ratepayers,and stressed the impor-tance of keeping andmaintaining facilities andinfrastructure.

He paid particularattention to recreationfacilities, noting theimportance of these facil-ities for young families.

Albert WatsonA life-long resident of

the area, “Ab” Watsonsaid he is more thanfamiliar with issues inboth the rural areas andthe town.

He is a formerHillsburg councillor, apast president of theRoblin District LionsClub – he was presidentwhen the community hallwas built and opened –

and is semi-retired.He said he has both the

time and the interest inmaking the new councilof the new muncipalityeffective.

Jack LenderbeckJack Lenderbeck is

also a life-long residentof the area and a currentRM of Shell River coun-cillor.

He has served on theboard of the RoblinCredit Union and hasbeen a councillor foreight years.

ing her first foray intomuncipal politics andsaid she’s “really excit-ed” to let her name stand.

A wife, mother andgrandmother, she and herhusband have been farm-ing for 40 years.

sideration.Mitchell said council

will have to get along tobe effective and shewould like to see “peoplebe better informed aboutissues” at the table.

Dear Editor,

RE : Gunowners are still crimi-nals in waiting under Harper newcommon sense gun bill.

Minister Stephen Blaney tabledwhat was called a common sensegun control bill recently in parlia-ment. What he did do was makecosmetic changes which wouldhave little impact on the averagelong gun owner.

What he did not do was decrim-inalize the ownership of firearmsfor lawful gun owners. Under thislaw, when your possession licenceexpires, you now have six monthsto renew, or you become a felon andmay end up with a criminal recordand perhaps go to jail for up to 10years.

In July of this year Blaney madethe statement that the grace periodwould be five years. His five yearsbecame six months.

Amalgamating both POL andPAL basically forces those POLlicencees to take a mandatory safe-ty course before renewing thePossession licence. This will createdifficulties for our seniors whohave been using firearms most oftheir lives in rural Canada.

It is difficult to understand whyHarper will not decriminalize

firearm ownership in Canada.Firearms are the only property thatowning without a paper licence cansend you to jail for up to 10 years.Plus you will have a criminalrecord.

In the past decade Harper haspromised to repeal the Liberal guncontrol Bill C-68. He has lied overand over again to the gun ownersof Canada. The only thing he didwas getting rid of the long gun reg-istration. The police still use theregistry, so it really isn’t dead. C-68is basically alive and well.

So Mr. Harper, we are all tired ofyour lying. Lawful gun owners willsee through all the smoke in 2015.

Inky Mark, Dauphin, MB

A report released last week by the Council ofMinisters of Education in Canada left manyManitobans, including education minister JamesAllum, wondering about the state of education in thisprovince.

The report ranked Manitoba dead last in math, sci-ence and reading based on the random testing of32,000 students across the country who had turned 13by the start of the 2013-14 school year.

It would be easy to blame teachers for the poor testresults but that would hardly be fair.

Naturally, Mr. Allum blamed the Conservative gov-ernments of the 1990s for wreaking havoc on the edu-cation system however there have been a lot ofchanges in the provincial curricula since then, whileNew Democrats have been in power.

Be that as it may, the report may not be as damning(and thank your teacher if you noticed the spelling mis-take in the headline of this editorial) as it appears to besince 86 per cent of the students in Manitoba whowrote the test are doing just fine. Or better than fine.

It’s the other 14 per cent people are worried about.It’s a relatively small number, it comes down to

individuals as Manitoba School Board Associationpresident Floyd Martens pointed out in an interviewwith the Winnipeg Free Press, but we should still beconcerned.

Minister Allum was quick to offer what he considerspossible solutions including enhanced training forwould-be teachers; more support for children in theearly years; more support for their parents; and greateraccountability, whatever that means.

It would be interesting to go back in time and have13-year-olds in the ‘40s or ‘50s or even the ‘60s writethese tests to compare their standing with students oftoday.

A time when the emphasis was on the three “Rs”and there were no calculators or computers with spellcheckers. And when students were kept back, or failed,if you prefer.

Manitoba consistently ranks poorly in these kinds oftests, compared with other countries and – somewhatsurprisingly – even other provinces, so obviously wehave a problem here. Is it the curricula, is it the teach-ers, is it lack of funding and resources, or is it the stu-dents themselves who may not have the drive to suc-ceed or the respect for teachers that is sometimes need-ed for them to do well in a particular class.

It would be interesting to see what communities thestudents who wrote these tests were from.

That might shed further light on the issue.ED

Dear Editor:

At the September 24thmeeting of the LegislativeCommittee on CrownCorporations, oppositionCritic Ralph Eichler hadmany questions aboutHydro’s CommunityDevelopment Initiative,implemented as part of theBipole III project.

Scott Thomson, HydroCEO and President, acknowl-edged that Hydro will spendupwards of $60 million underthis program over a period ofat least 10 years. This is newmoney and part of the reasonfor the recent $1.37-billionhike in the cost estimate forBipole III.

Pressed for an answer as towhether there is an appeal

mechanism allowing commu-nities along the Bipole III linewho do not sign up initially toopt in later, Thomson had thefollowing to say: “… we’renot providing compensationfor negative impacts, so therereally isn’t an appeal mecha-nism; it’s a gift to use – to beblunt.”

Others have characterizedthese payments as hush

money, particularly thosemunicipalities which wereconcerned about loss of voiceif they accepted these “gifts”from Hydro.

Individual landownersalong Bipole III can beexcused for wondering ifHydro has 60 million to spendon bribes for towns, munici-palities and First Nationscommunities along the line,

why landowners are beingoffered only a one-time pit-tance for damages that will goon forever.

Maybe that’s why morethan 200 of them, mostly inthe Red River Valley, haverefused to sign up and may befacing expropriation.

back ISSUES

During our drives to “the lake”this year we would pass by manyfields and enjoyed watching thecrops transform themselves fromgreen seedlings into a myriad ofcolours. Bright yellows for canolaand mustard. Deep, almost purply,blues for flax. And, as it closed inon ripening, a beautiful golden huefor wheat and durum.

But, there was one crop that baf-fled us every time we passed by. Itwas not one that is usually grownin this area and looked a littlescruffy. As it grew taller and tallerand looked more like an uprightshrub we continued to wonderwhat it was. In the end we finallyfound someone who could answerour question and put an end to ourcuriosity.

The crop was hemp.According to the agrologist

hemp is harvested for its seeds orits stalk or it is baled. It can begrown for food or non-food pur-poses. Hemp fibre is used to makeclothing, ropes, and paper. Thegrain can be stewed, roasted andmilled for food. The oil is oftenused for cosmetics, lighting, paints,varnishes and medical prepara-tions.

Quite a versatile crop indeed.Growing hemp differs from

country to country but in Canada itis heavily regulated. Commercialproduction has been permitted inthis country since 1998 but the pro-ducer must be licensed, authoriza-tion is issued by Health Canada.The seed must be certified andmust be an approved variety whichmean there must be less than 0.3per cent of THC in them in thefield.

Seed merchants are required toprovide valid Certified Seed Tagsand the use of common seeds is pro-hibited. Inspectors may ask to seethe seed tags which farmers andprocessors must be able to produce.This is to ensure the health and well-being of all citizens.

There are some 27 varieties thatcan be grown legally in Canada. Themost efficient of these are the onesthat can be grown as a dual-purpose

crop. This means that both the grainand fibre of the same plant is har-vested.

The plant is very hardy and doesnot required fungicides, herbicidesor pesticides. It absorbs carbon diox-ide five times more efficiently thanthe same acreage of forest and itmatures in three to four months. Thenumber one challenge for producersis finding a buyer for their product.

Despite enforcing strict regula-tions, the Government of Canada issupportive of the industry and hasmade some changes in legislationand market development. Across thecountry more than 100 farmers aregrowing this crop, most of them incentral and western Canada.Agriculture and Agri-Food

Canada estimate retail sales of allhemp products are $20 to $40 mil-lion annually.

It’s easy to spot lots of hempproducts on the shelves of ourstores these days but until youactually do a little research youdon’t realize the depth of hemp.

What took me by surprise wasthe nutritional value in terms ofOmega 3 and 6 content and all thehealth benefits. Not only forhumans but for pets as well.

Craig Mohr xA strong voice for anew municipality.


By Ben Brodeur

John MaynardKeynes’ (highly influen-tial economist) philoso-phy on economics is,“The difficulty lies not somuch in developing newideas as escaping fromold ones.” In a recentpep-talk session deliv-ered by Ryan Gibsonfrom St. Mary’sUniversity, an assistantprofessor on regionaldevelopment models inrural, northern andperipheral regions across

in Canada, he pointed outa few key elementswhich can help, or hin-der, a community’s abili-ty to be economicallysustainable.

The first element wasdescribed as being, andremaining, resourcedependent (agriculture,forestry, mining, etc.);which defines a greatnumber of rural commu-nities. And unless yourtourism economy isbased on something likeowning the world’sbiggest elastic band ball,

it’s probably based onlocal resources too. Thesecond element was thatwater is a significantissue. Being that water isa necessity for life; ham-lets, villages, towns,cities and rural munici-palities will literally dry

up without a reasonablesource of drinking water.And also because oneregion in Canada mighthave rivers and lakesbursting from their seamscausing agriculturalissues while anothermight have drought.

Then there’s the diversityin water infrastructureissues; good wells, badwells, water plants, oldpipes, etc. The only sen-sible conclusion is thatrural communities oughtto protect their naturalresources.

The third elementdefined to suggestgrowth or decline of arural community wasdigital infrastructure.That being, can you get acell signal on the farm orget enough internet juicein town to watch net-flix?Additionally, manyestablished industriesheavily rely on digitalcommunications to oper-ate, and many new andemerging industries arecompletely based on it.It’s well known thatnewer generations aredrawn to digital powerlike moths to the moon.But are you aware thatsenior populations arebecoming more depend-ent on digital advance-ments in health care; likeremote doctoring, whichalso uses robotics to per-form surgeries. So for arural community to be onthe left or right side ofthe digital divide, it cangreatly impact the eco-nomic stability in manydifferent ways.

The fourth elementwas growth determi-nants: population,resource endowment,type of economic case,and proximity to majorurban centres. They’re allbig factors in a ruralcommunity’s expansionand contraction trends. Ifmunicipal and communi-ty leaders invest time inunderstanding these fac-

tors, plans can be made toensure your trend is oneof sustainability andprosperity rather thanmaintainability andpoverty.

The fifth element wasdescribed as an emphasison rural based municipal-ities to deliver more serv-ices locally. That couldmean, rather than havingresidents travelling anhour to get to a hospital,resources should be spenton obtaining local doc-tors. Or rather than hav-ing ratepayers deal with aproperty assessmentbranch in another town,have local governmentsadminister the service.There are many otherexamples, and opportuni-ties, of what local munic-ipalities can do to pro-vide improved services.This is because the ideaof improving local gov-ernment is as old as thehills. And no matter howpromising new ideas orelectoral assurances areabout how to influencemunicipal economicsthrough proactivity, Mr.Keynes kindly pointedout nearly a hundredyears ago; reality is a lotharder than one canthink!

As an economic devel-opment practitioner, I’lltip my hat to Mr. Gibsonand the many others, whocontinue to pit them-selves against the chal-lenge of activating manypractical, yet difficult,ways for our communi-ties to better themselves.

“It doesn’t have to bedifficult,” he said.

Cranwell said he wel-comes the “fresh start”and the opportunity “notto do things the waythey’ve always beendone”.

As a farmer and a busi-nessman, he said hebelieve council’s jobincludes making condi-tions right for existingbusiness.

He’d also like to seethe chamber strength-ened.

He concluded by say-ing he’ll continue “striv-ing just to get value forour tax dollars”.

Michael FriesenMichael Friesen says

he has no list of promisesand until he can’t saywhat he would do until “Isee the work”.

He noted he’s a fastlearner and “a bit of stick-

ler” when it comes toplaying by the rules.

He’d also like to see anew name for the newmunicipality.

Friesen said the historyof the area shows howdifferent bodies can worktogether and expects thesame when it comes tothe new municipality.

He wants to see thenew council operate in anhonest and efficient man-ner, as far as the rulesallow.

Dean SalynTown councillor Dean

In it, he noted being atown councillor has beena worthy exercise in com-munity service.

He noted that when hefirst ran for council fouryears ago, he ran on theissues of taxation andamalgamation.

He said while therestill is much work to bedone to lower taxes,amalgamation hasbecome a reality.

Salyn noted the impor-tance of maintaining andexpanding infrastructureand services, and that thenew council would befacing some tough deci-sions, including deter-mining appropriate levelsof staffing.

He said he’d like tohave the opportunity tofinish what he started and“to make a positive influ-ence on a communitythat’s long seen itself asone”.

Wade SchottTown councillor Wade

Schott said he believeshead of council is a veryimportant position, espe-cially because of amalga-mation, and he wants toensure “that we don’t gobackward.”

“We have to move for-ward and improve the lifeexperience for our citi-zens,” he said.

He noted he came toRoblin in 1983 to managethe McMunn & Yatesstore – where he is stillemployed – and noted hiscommunity servicethrough the years withgroups such as theKINSmen and his church.

Schott says his goal, ifelected, is to “operate thisamalgamated municipali-ty as effectively and eco-nomically as possible”.

He noted he is avail-able for questions anytime.

Robert MiskoRobert Misko is

currently the reeve of theRM of Hillsburg.

He says he’s looking

for a change with the newcouncil, a new way ofrunning things to benefitall ratepayers.

He’d like to see less“field trips” for council-lors because “we need tobe concerned about ourratepayers” and what’sgoing on here.

He says noted a vestedinterested in the commu-nity, especially with threechildren who want tocome back here to live.

In closing, he said “Ijust feel we can do betterwith this amalgamation.”

Question periodA question period fol-

lowed the candidates’opening remarks withconcerns about staffinglevels in the new munici-pality and snow clearingtaking centre stage.

A healthy discussionabout snow clearing poli-cies and the sharing ofequipment took place.

Talk of purchasing ablower to clean up snowled to concerns about lia-bility and danger topedestrians.

Questions regardingpriority – would townstreets be cleared beforerural roads – also result-ed, as did concerns aboutheavy equipment operat-ing at night.

As the discussion car-ried on, moderator Moffithumorously commented

that perhaps the wholeissue should be left toRoger Arndt and GerryHyrnkiw, who were head-ing out the door.

Questions about eco-nomic development anddrainage were also raised.

A question to the headof council candidatesregarding what their posi-tion would be if a candi-date with a court judge-ment against him in aGST case were electedwas answered when thecandidate in question,Doug Cranwell, noted thecase had been dealt withand as far as he’s con-cerned is not a cause forconcern.

An interesting ques-tion about the future ofthe Shell River andHillsburg municipaloffice buildings came up.

The questionnaire sug-gested the Shell Riverbuilding could adequatelyhold the library and thatthe remaining spacecould be rented out foroffices.

Candidate RobertMisko suggested therewas no reason to movethe library from its cur-rent location as the townoffice has enough room.

Several ratepayerstook to the podium withcomments, includingDale Yeo, who thankedall the candidates fordeciding to run.

Every year, the flu season in Manitoba begins inlate fall and usually lasts until spring. For 2014-2015, the flu vaccine is available free of charge toall Manitobans.

It offers protection against three flu strains,including H1N1. The best way to protect youagainst the flu is to get vaccinated. Flu viruseschange, so last year’s vaccine may not protect youfrom this year’s viruses.

Prairie Mountain Health is launching its annualflu campaign this week.

Please watch for posters, check your local paperand listen for radio announcements for clinics inyour community informing you of dates and loca-tions.

What is the flu and how is it spread?The flu is not a stomach virus, nor is it the com-

mon cold. The flu is a respiratory virus, and it isspread when an infected person coughs or sneezes.You can also get the flu when a person touches asurface with flu virus on it and then touches his orher nose, mouth, or eyes. The flu virus can live onhard surfaces for up to 48 hours, on cloth, paper,and tissue for up to 12 hours, and on hands forabout five minutes!

The flu is very contagious, and people can spreadthe virus before they show any symptoms. Somepeople will not have symptoms, but can carry thevirus and spread it to others. The flu can lead toserious complications such as bacterial infections,bronchitis, pneumonia, and kidney or heart failure.

What is the flu vaccine?The flu vaccine is a needle that is given in the

arm. For some people, the flu vaccine can be given

a different way, through a spray that is put inside aperson’s nose.

Every year, scientists monitor the global spreadof flu and decide what flu viruses will most likelycause widespread illness. Each flu vaccine containsthree of these ‘killed’ flu viruses – meaning theycan’t harm you or make you sick. The vaccine helpsyour body recognize these flu viruses so it can pro-

tect you.

Why do I need a shot every year?Because flu viruses change over time, each year

a new flu vaccine has to be developed. That is whyit is so important to get a flu shot every year.

Who should get the flu vaccine?The flu vaccine is recommended for all

Manitobans over six months of age. Some people are at greater risk of serious com-

plications from the flu. The flu vaccine is stronglyrecommended for the following individuals: chil-dren age 6 months to 59 months, those with achronic illness, seniors age 65 years or older,healthy pregnant women, residents of personal carehomes or long term care facilities, health careworkers and first responders, individuals ofAboriginal ancestry, and people who are severelyoverweight or obese. The flu vaccine is also recom-mended for household contacts or caregivers ofthese people.

Are there side effects?Vaccines are known to be very safe. It is much

safer to get the flu vaccine than to get the flu. Themost common side effect of the flu vaccine is red-ness, soreness, and swelling where the needle wasgiven. Some people may have chills, fever, orfatigue. These side effects should go away in oneto two days.

More informationYou can contact your local public health office,

nurse practitioner, pharmacy, or physician clinic. You can also visit http://www.gov.mb.ca/

health/flu/index.html for more information on theflu. Check out PMH’s flue clinic dates by visiting:Prairie Mountain Health – www.prairiemountain-health.ca or www.prha.mb.ca.

ED’s Note: This conserva-tion with Head of Council can-didate and current reeve of theRM of Hillsburg Robert Miskotook place Oct. 2.

Robert Misko knows whatsome people think of him –that he’s opinionated, arro-gant, pushy to the point ofbeing a bully – and he’s heardthe talk that if he’s elected ashead of council of our newmunicipality, he’s going tostart firing people right off thehop.

After four terms as reeve ofthe RM of Hillsburg, Miskosays he’s gained a lot ofinsight into municipal gover-nance and if he’s elected, he’slooking forward to doingthings a little differently tohelp his community achieveits full potential.

“One of my biggest beefs isthe idea of council being somekind semi-secret society, andthat council has to do things acertain way because it’s beendone that way forever, orbecause it’s always workedbefore,” he said.

“But times have changedand we can’t keep on doingthat. I mean we can’t keep ondoing things the same waycouncils have been doingthem for years and expect dif-ferent results.”

And he says that applies toissues as diverse as economicdevelopment and going toconventions.

“In Hillsburg we did thingsdifferently. We didn’t go to allthe conventions, we didn’t goto all the meetings and wedidn’t really miss anything(with access to all the infor-mation readily availableonline). If you look at whatthe town and Shell Riverspend on conventions, $2,500to $3,000 a year per council-lor, and about $500,000 forcouncillor travel, you have toask why aren’t we spendingthat money on priorities, likeupgrades to the lift station intown,” he explained.

He pointed out that overthe last 15 years, the town andShell River have funded aneconomic development officeto the tune of some $1.5 mil-lion.

He wonders if that moneywould have been better spentby purchasing a building ortwo on Main Street and rent-ing them out for free to entre-preneurs wanting to openbusinesses.

“Maybe there’s anotheroption, a better way of doingthings,” he said.

In Hillsburg’s case, counciljoined PARC, the ParklandAgricultural Resource Co-op,at a cost of four to six thou-sand dollars a year, and isbenefitting from a municipaltax sharing agreement whereall member municipalitiesshare in the taxes generatedby new development in anymunicipality.

He says with every com-munity looking for develop-ment it makes more sense to“spread it out over the region”so every community benefits,and to avoid overlapping and

overspending.“The hemp plant in Gilbert

Plains will be going soon andevery member of PARC willget a benefit from that plant,”he noted. “Maybe some peo-ple from Roblin will be ableto get a job there, it’s only 45minutes away.

“I think we have to look atthe bigger picture and stopnavel gazing. The thingswe’ve been doing in Roblinjust don’t seem to be work-ing.”

He says when it comes toeconomic development,everyone seems to be lookingfor “that lottery ticket”.

“We’ve all heard aboutthose ‘secret projects’ thatwere supposed to be in theworks, the ones council could-n’t talk about... I think wehave to stop looking for thatpie in the sky. What about get-ting a couple of the vacantbuildings on Main Streetfilled?”

Misko says there’s no wayRoblin is going to be the nextYorkton.

“There are what, about3,000 people in our munici-pality but we have a lot ofstrengths... these are thethings we have to build on.We can’t pretend we’re some-thing we’re not. We can’t givepeople false hopes.”

He says he’s been hearing alot of people say ‘Roblin’sdying’ while out on the cam-paign trail.

“I don’t think we’re dying,I think were maturing (and)we are facing a new reality,”he said. “And maybe if wechange our approach (to eco-nomic development), we canget different results.”

Misko says having a moreopen council is one of hisgoals, if he’s fortunate enoughto be elected.

He wants to do a better jobof informing the public aboutwhat’s going on, even if thatmeans getting the e-mailaddresses of everyone in themunicipality with an e-mailaddress.

He noted e-mails and textmessages can be used as advi-sories when the town hasissues such as sewer back ups.

“I talked with some peoplewhen the town had its flood-ing problems (last summer)and some of them had no ideawhy there were porta-pottieson the street,” he explained.

He’d also like to seeratepayers receive meetingagendas, as opposed to meet-ing minutes.

He says if council will bediscussing an issue of interest,ratepayers can come to themeeting to hear that discus-sion.

“If you just look at theminutes, you miss the meet-ing,” he noted.

He says there’s often a realdisconnect between ratepayersand council, something hesees as almost a “status”thing, where some councilmembers might think they’rebetter or even smarter than theratepayers.

“I’m no different that any-one else,” he said. “But I’m

really hoping to manage this(new) council a little better.”

He says he was neverafraid to talk to any ratepayerabout what was going on inHillsburg.

“I know there are ones whodidn’t like me but you’ve gotmove past things like thatbecause there are things thatneed to be done,” he said.

Misko says as head ofcouncil, he wants and expectsratepayers to come to meet-ings, and he’d like to see thenew council hold an annualmeeting, just to let peopleknow what’s going on.

“We have nothing to hide.It’s all about openness,” hesaid. “There’s a long historyin the municipal culture ofhaving secrets, of keepingthings from the ratepayers.That culture needs to change.”

Misko says he doesn’texpect the amalgamatedmunicipality to be more workfor councillors.

“I think sometimes a coun-cil makes itself more than itis. I mean we have ouremployees and they’re goodemployees. Our administra-tion staff, our public workspeople, they know their jobsand they know what needs tobe done, where the prioritiesare. They know if there’s awater main break. They knowif a road gets washed out,” hesaid.

“We have to trust them, weshould not be micro-manag-ing.”

He pointed out that in theRM of Dauphin, with a largertax base and more ratepayersthan the new municipality, theCAO’s workload is about thesame.

“So why should there bemore work for councillors inour new municipality? Just toget more indemnity?,” heasked, noting being on councilis about the only job he canthink of where an employeegets to decide their ownsalary.

As reeve of Hillsburg,

Misko receives an indemnityof $500 a month, with theability to charge for attendingextra meetings.

He says at $20 an hour,that’s about 25 hours worth ofwork, and in all his years oncouncil, he’d be hard pressedto say he spent 25 hours amonth on council business.

“In my mind, all this talkabout councillors having morework to do with the newmunicipality is all aboutindemnity,” he said. “I meanwe haven’t even started yet.How do we know?”

For one thing, there will beno more joint meetings, henoted, and instead of havingcouncillors attend recreationcommission or Handivanboard meetings and the like,Misko thinks it would makemore sense to have represen-tatives of those boards reportto council, especially withonly one to deal with insteadof three.

He says the volunteers whoserve on the various localboards and commissions aremore aware of what needs tobe done and council shouldhave faith in their abilities.

“We don’t need councillorsto go to all those extra meet-ings. That’s another examplefor doing things differently,”he said.

Misko says one issue he’sbeen hearing about is snowremoval in town.

With “all kinds of graderpower” available to clearstreets and windrow snow,he’d like to bring in blowersfor the clean up.

“There are plenty of farm-ers with silage trucks aroundwho are used to workingbeside blowers. Our guyswould have more time to plowthe streets and some of ourfarmers could earn some extramoney. I think we could do itcheaper and more efficiently,”he explained, adding wear andtear and maintenance onmunicipal equipment wouldbe lessened as well.

He says it’s all about realiz-ing savings without cuttingservices.

Misko says when you lookat amalgamations in educationand health care, there is thepotential for the bureaucracyto “blow up” so with the com-ing municipal amalgamationand a new start, council willhave to look at administration.

“A municipality with aroughly three million dollarbudget does not need sevenpeople to administer it. Thereare businesses and farms withbigger budgets that don’t haveseven accountants or sevenbookkeepers,” he noted.

He says nothing should betaboo for discussion.

“We’re elected to representthe ratepayers. It’s not mymoney, it’s our money,” henoted, adding council shouldnot be like “a kid in the candystore” when it comes spendingtax dollars.

“Shell River is a memberof the Hudson Bay RouteAssociation. What possibleadvantage is there to ShellRiver ratepayers by being amember? I mean that’s just anexample, but it’s the principleof the thing,” he said.

He says people and busi-nesses need to adapt to chang-ing times, and so do councils.

“We need to be a littlemore responsible with thefunds we have, we have to setpriorities. Years ago the townmade water mains a priorityand it’s been replacing themfor awhile now, and that’s agood thing. We need toexpand on that because wehave infrastructure to takecare of. But if we can reducespending, lowering taxes isn’ta bad thing to do,” he said.

He noted communitieshave offered incentives toattract residents and business-es but lower tax rates aremuch more successful.

“I have three kids whowant to come back here towork. For young people, in anarea with lower wages, weneed to show them there areadvantages and benefits to liv-ing here and one hugeadvantage is lower tax rates,”he said.

Misko sees the new munic-ipality, and the election, as aturning point for our commu-nity.

“We have the potential hereto really make a difference inhow things are done and howit relates to you as a ratepay-er,” he said.

Misko says municipal poli-tics, in his mind, is almostgetting like provincial politicswhere decisions are made andthings are done that only ben-efit “me”, that make “me”look better.

“If we are all doing theproper job, people shouldn’teven know that we’ve beeninvolved because it’s notabout us,” he said.

As for him dictating tocouncil – yes, he’s heard thattalk as well – he points out noreeve or mayor has that kindof authority.

“Although some of themmight think they do,” he said.

• Robert Misko


Dear Reena,I always purchase 2-L

pop bottles because theytend to be cheaper thanbuying small bottles. Ionly drink a little popevery few days; is there away to keep the fizz inpop instead of pouringflat pop down the drain?Alex

Dear Alex,After opening a 2-liter

pop bottle, pour most ofthe pop into smaller oneliter bottles. Cap the bot-tles and the pop will stayfizzy longer. Doing thisdecreases the amount ofair space in the bottleand less carbon dioxideis released.

Dear Reena,I often throw my pil-

lows into the washing

machine and then thedryer. They take foreverto properly dry and sincethey are drying slowly,they carry a musty odor.Any suggestions?

Marcus

Dear Marcus,Add half cup white

vinegar to the washbefore washing pillows.Toss a few tennis ballsinto your dryer to speedup the drying process.With winter just aroundthe corner, you will haveopportunities to toss pil-lows (both bedroom andliving room) outside.Leave them for 24 hoursto kill bacteria.

Dear Reena,Does it matter how

many times I blow mynose into one tissuebefore throwing it out?Silly question, but I hadto ask. Carolyn

Dear Carolyn,This is one of those

questions that you canask 100 people and get100 different answers.According to healthguid-ance.org you should onlyblow your nose once intoa tissue before discard-ing it. Using the same tis-sue repeatedly risks put-ting germs back ontoyour face and hands.Some people use a tissueonce and then turn itaround and use the otherside before discarding it.Extra Tip: To teach achild how to blow his/hernose; light a candle andhave him/her blow it outwith his/her nose (makesure it’s not on someone’sbirthday cake at thetime).

Dear Reena,Is hummus healthy?

Thanks Max

Dear Max,The name hummus

comes from the Arabicword, chickpeas.Hummus is typicallycomprised of cookedchickpeas (garbanzobeans), citrus juice, tahi-ni paste and olive oil.There are many varia-tions and some compa-nies include additives.Classic hummus is low incholesterol, sodium andsugar and high in fiber,folate, magnesium, phos-phorus, copper and man-

ganese. Upon purchase,check the label for thehealthiest choice.

ED’s Note: This conserva-tion with Head of Council can-didate and current councillorof the Town of Roblin WadeSchott took place Oct. 9.

Wade Schott says he’s beengetting a very positive recep-tion as he makes his waythrough the Roblin district onthe campaign trail.

From San Clara to the cot-tage subdivisions at Lake ofthe Prairies, voters have beenwelcoming and receptive andin favour of him as head ofcouncil of our new municipal-ity.

“No one says they won’tvote for me, but I don’t knowhow many people would tellyou that,” he said.

He says he’s not hearingabout a lot of issues along theway but he is hearing that alot of voters don’t like hisopposition very much.

“I’ve been hearing he’s tooforceful, and too domineeringand if you were at the (forum)last night, you would haveheard a lot of ‘Is’,” he noted.“But when you’re a mayor, areeve or a councillor, it’s sixor seven people making thedecisions.”

Schott says it’s obvious,judging by some of the com-ments at the forum, his oppo-nent has been talking withwould-be councillors to try toget them on his side.

“My hope is that we wouldhave six independent-thinkingcouncillors who would makedecisions on that, based ontheir beliefs,” he said.

Schott says while he hasn’theard too much about issuesfrom the voters, he has heardsome concerns about repre-sentation.

“One fellow at the MétisFellowship Centre in SanClara asked me once theamalgamation takes place whodo I call now with a problemor a difficulty because I won’thave a councillor,” he noted.

“What I told him was thatunder the new system, you’llhave six and that if he has anissue, he should call the officeand they’ll take the appropri-ate action.”

Schott says the voter wasfearful that council wouldn’tbe accessible.

“That won’t be an issue,”he added.

Schott is wrapping up hisfirst term as a municipal coun-cillor and he says he reallyhad no idea what the job actu-ally entailed or what toexpect.

But he enjoys it.“The different meetings,

deciding things, dealing withthe issues – and we had many.I really enjoyed it so this putthe thought in my head that Iwould run again. But I didn’thave any intention of runningfor head of council.”

Even though “quite a fewpeople” asked him to run forthe top job.

“When I saw what washappening, that there was achance Robert (Misko) couldget in by acclamation, I evenasked Jim Mitchell if he’d

consider putting his name in.He said no... so I made thedecision to run for head ofcouncil,” he said.

Schott says he’s very famil-iar with the role.

“I’m deputy mayor so I’vedone it as far as meetings go,”he explained, adding hestrongly believes the mayor orreeve has to take a leadershiprole, without being a dictator.

“He or she has to see thingsthat need to be looked at getdone,” he said.

Schott says town councilhas gotten along very wellduring the past four years andhe expects, and hopes, thatkind of cooperation will con-tinue with the new council.

“We had disagreements, wehad differences of opinion, butwe worked through it,” hesaid.

He says he already has adream team picked up, candi-dates he’d like to see elected,because he thinks they’d makea good team and work togeth-er well.

“If I do win, I’d like to seeJack Lenderbeck get in,” hesaid. “Jack would be a greatperson to head the transporta-tion committee, to look afterroads and equipment.”

He says he has the abilityto work with anyone, and hasworked with several of thecandidates during his time oncouncil.

He sees his role as head ofcouncil to police the meetingsin such a way that each coun-cillor gets their say.

“They can’t hog it, they geta time limit to speak and thenwe vote on the decision,” henoted.

Schott has been a business-man in Roblin since he andhis wife Carol came to townin 1983 to take over theMcMunn & Yates hardwarestore.

He’s been a member ofchamber and is very aware ofthe issues facing businessowners in the community.

He says council has a defi-nite role to play in that regard.

“Making sure that it’s aseasy as possible for them todo that job, to do whatever ittakes, whether it’s some kindof business incentive or taxbreaks. We’ve got to make ourcommunity business friendly,”he said.

He agrees that might meantaking a look at the economicdevelopment office.

“I haven’t seen much in theway of results when it comesto business propositions but Idon’t think we could dowithout it,” he noted, addingthe office has done much interms of promotion and adver-tising. “If we don’t do any-thing... but maybe we have tolook at the focus of it.”

As most people who lovetheir community, Schott sayshe’d like to see more employ-ment opportunities here.

“I’d definitely like to seemore jobs created. With thestrengths that we have, anychance (of job creation) wouldbe in agricultural-related busi-ness, spin offs from the ag

sector, manufacturing, Ithink,” he said.

“And in tourism. The BugChucker Cup that the town’sbeen involved with over thepast few years has reallyhelped our fly fishing. Therewere a couple of campersparked at the lake just a cou-ple of weeks ago – I thinkthey were here fly fishing.And they were spendingmoney here.”

He also noted the efforts ofthe Parkland CropDiversification Centre, wherenew varieties and new cropsare tested, that could lead tovalue-added spin-offs for theag industry.

Schott says town council isexcited about Apple LaneGardens and noted the newcouncil will have to deal withinfrastructure issues specifi-cally related to the develop-ment.

“We’ve been discussing(the development) at towncouncil and we’re going toneed (another) lift station sowe’ll have to look at financingor budgeting for that if it goesahead,” he noted. “And everytime I see a member of theLions I ask how it’s going.”

Another issue is the firesuppression system for theseniors’ housing complex.

Schott says the building’ssprinkler system necessitates alarger capacity water line andthat would require digging upHospital Street all the wayfrom the highway to install awider diameter service.

“That would be a majorproject. But we’ve been look-ing at using the reject waterfrom our water treatmentplant... if we could use thatwater, have it on stand by, wewouldn’t need to replace thewater line,” he explained.

“But that’s something thenew council will also have todeal with.”

Schott has been acting as

the chair of the amalgamationcommittee, trying to sort outissues before actually gettingdown to the work.

The meetings have beenongoing, they are on hold atthe moment, and Schott saysit was difficult to come to anagreement on certain issues.

“Our staff are wonderingwhere do we come to work onJanuary 1,” he noted.

He says there are stillissues to be looked at and willbe once the election is overand the new council elected.

“We’ll definitely be meet-ing but we legally can’t doanything until Jan. 1,” henoted, adding he is hopefulsome issues – staffing forone – will be dealt with assoon as possible.

“The CAO issue for one. Ican’t imagine working underthose conditions, wondering ifyou’re still going to have ajob,” he noted.

Schott favours a CAO andAssistant CAO scenario andleaving it up to them to deter-mine how many otheremployees will be needed inthe office.

“They’re the ones whoknow what the workload is,they’re the ones who shoulddecide that,” he said.

He doesn’t like the idea ofadvertising for those positionseven though his oppositionhas noted there will be 35unemployed and qualifiedCAOs turing up after amalga-mation.

He wants to keep the CAOsfrom the town and Shell Riverboth employed.

“My feeling is we’ve gotthese two, born and raisedhere, who know what’s goingon. I’d hate to throw themunder the bus,” he said.

Schott says there’s going toplenty of work to do betweenthe election and the new year,with three sets of books to bedone and finalized.

“I don’t see any lesseningof the work load,” he added.

Schott says he has no realgoals if he’s elected to serveas head of council or for thefirst term for the new munici-pality.

“I just hope and pray to getit organized and runningsmoothly, as economically andefficiently as possible,” hesaid.

And getting the team work-ing together.

“We’ll have two sets ofpublic works crews to dealwith and there’s going to beno less work in town or therural areas,” he noted.

Thankfully, he says, thenew municipality will havetwo very capable and experi-enced public works foremen.

“Langdon (Campbell) andDennis (Beck) will keep ondoing their jobs as per usual. Ithink the bigger issues are inthe office and council itself,and setting up the variouscommittees,” he said.

Schott says his biggest con-cern at this point is that theratepayers get out and vote.

“Shell River has alwayshad a notoriously low voterturn out and it doesn’t reallymatter whether people supportme or not,” he said.

“Sure I’d like the job (ofhead of council) but theimportant issue is that theycome out to vote.”

He agrees that the upcom-ing election is the most impor-tant in the community’s histo-ry, as three municipalitiesbecome one.

“I think the great turn at the(forum) is a pretty good indi-cation that people are interest-ed in this election, and thefuture of this community,” hesaid. “It’s just too bad it was-n’t a bad night for farming orwe would have had even morepeople out.”

When he first ran for officein 2010, Schott said he washumbled when peopleapproached him to let hisname stand. That people werewilling to put their faith in hisabilities and decision making.

He also said he felt itwould be a good way to giveback to the community that heloves.

After four years on council,he still feels that way but he’snot sure if he’s lived up to hissupporters’ expectations.

“Sometimes I think not,sometimes when I’m workingand trying to squeeze councilin,” he explained.

He says he always feltguilty – when he wasn’t ableto do things as a councillor orfor McMunn & Yates –because of the time required.

“But last year I was onlyworking four days a week soit’s been a little better. AndI’m planning on working onlythree days a week so I’ll beable to give more time to it.”

As for what he hopes thenew council of our newmunicipality will look like...

“I hope for six independ-ent-thinking councillors andnobody with an agenda,” hesaid.

Wade Schott: no hidden agenda

“If you live according to nature, younever will be poor; if according to theworld’s caprice, you will never be rich” -Publilius Syrus (42 BC)

The Alder buckthorn, Rhamnus fran-gula, is a tall deciduous shrub that isnative to Europe, Asia and Africa and hasnaturalized to North America. It grows inwet soils, open woodlands bogs andhedgerows. It prefers acidic soil.

It has a small dark berry which frugi-vores (fruit eating animals) eat causingits dispersal. It is rich source of nectarand pollen for bees and other insects. Itsberries are eaten by birds (especiallyrobins and thrushes) and it is known toattract wildlife. Mice eat its fruit andstore them as well. Birds nest in itsbranches.The alder buckthorn increaseswildlife where it is present.

This is a poisonous plant to humansbut its bark has been used medicinally asa purgative laxative when prepared prop-erly. Because of its even burn time, it hasbeen useful as a fuse. Alder buckthorncharcoal is prized for gunpowder and isconsidered the best wood for this pur-pose. A yellow dye is made from thebark and a green dye from the unripeberries. It has been used for nails andshoe lasts.

It has been considered invasivebecause it can limit the growth of someseedling trees and flowers in the understory. It has been blamed for overwinter-ing the crown fungus which can causeoat rust. Killing every alder buckthornwould not end this disease. The sporesof this fungus can overwinter. Most ofthese infections now are caused by rustspores being blown from southern statesin the US that grow oats during the win-ter and the spores are blown up in June.The Alder Buckthorn is also blamed foroverwintering the alfalfa mosaic virus;however this virus also infects 600 otherspecies of plants including the seeds oftomatoes, tobacco and potato. It is alsosuspected of overwintering the soybeanaphid, an agricultural pest.The soybeanaphid is a relatively new pest believed tohave arrived from Asia probably fromJapan around 2000. It carries a virus thatthe aphid transmits to soya beans butthere are varieties of soya bean that areresistant and this aphid has many naturalpredators.

There are recommendations by somepublications to use herbicides on theseplants. However these herbicides can killnon target vegetation and can be toxic toinsects, long lasting and contaminatewater. Stefphanie Seneff, a research sci-entist at the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology has linked one of the recom-mended herbicides to Parkinson’s dis-ease, infertility and cancers. Picloram, anagent recommended for stump treatmentwas a component of Agent White used asa defoliant during the Vietnam war.There are places in Vietnam where defo-liant agents were sprayed extensivelythat are unable to grow trees to this dayand are not expected to grow trees again.Picloram is exceptionally long lasting. If

we repeatedly use a long acting herbicidethat does not break down, we will causethe soil to lose its fertility and be unableto grow many kinds of plants. Picloramhas been contaminated with hexa-chlorobenzene, a known liver toxin.Vietnam vets are still fighting for recog-nition of liver disease from picloram andother health effects of these herbicides.In Montana, roadside spraying of Tordonkilled 15,000 pounds of fish in a hatcherydownstream form the Tordon treatment.

Alder buckthorn has many benefitsfor wildlife and pollinators. Its effect onnative species is mixed because it doessupport robins and thrushes, a group ofbirds that has seen a steep decline in pop-ulation (50 per cent) since 1966.Documentation of overall adverse effectsto native species is largely speculativeand wildlife increases where it is grown.

The problem of Alder buckthorn’sability to host a fungus that can affectoats highlights one of the many problemswith modern agriculture. Monoculture ofvast fields of only a few species of thatcrop sets that crop up for disease. Onespecies crop means one disease can dev-astate. Growing a wide variety of speciesallows fungal resistant varieties to over-come a disease by natural selection.Permaculture encourages growing plantstogether in guilds (plant communities).These communities lessen or eliminatethe impact of diseases in a number ofways. One example is to grow plantswith natural anti-fungal propertiestogether with susceptible plants. Theanti-fungal property can be shared withthe susceptible plant. Growing a plantthat attracts beneficial insects that con-sume aphids means aphid infestationsare controlled.

Using poisons on the Alder buckthornseems like a quick and easy solution to aproblem. But it deprives bees and insectsof a nectar source. It renders the soilinfertile and depending what is used, thatinfertility may be for a prolonged time. Itcan be toxic to aquatic life depending onwhat is used. Plants and animals arebecoming endangered and extinct at analarming rate.

Using poisons creates more problemsthan it solves. Learning to trust natureand work with nature is one of our great-est challenges. Yet if we do, we can haveabundance and there is a very optimisticfuture for our planet.

Explore your neighbor-hood

Walk to your nearestschool or grocery storeand time yourself. Youmay be surprised at howquickly you can get towhere you want to gowithout driving.

Walk and talk Got a casual meeting at

work? Or a teen thatwants to talk through aproblem? Go for a walkwhile you talk. It's a greatway to get away frominterruptions.

Encourage active kidsToddlers rarely stop

moving. Then, all toooften, school-aged kidsend up in front of the TVor computer screen. Findways to get your kidsmoving and you'll movemore too! Try kicking aball with them while get-ting caught up on theirday. Or dance along totheir favorite music. Headto a park and play catchor throw a Frisbee.

TV PlusMost TV shows don't

require 100 percent ofyour attention. Thinkabout what else you cando while watching.Stretch out the day'sstress. Do knee bendswhile you catch up on thelaundry.

Pick your spotAt the mall, at work or

when visiting friends,park just a little bit fur-ther away and walk. Ifyou take a bus, get offone stop earlier.

Challenge yourself tochoose the stairs

At home or at work,take every opportunity totake the stairs. It's a greatweight-bearing and bone-strengthening exercisethat helps build muscleand endurance.

Farming in Canada isnot what manyCanadians think it is,according to Realities ofAgriculture in Canada –A sector of innovationand growth, a new reportfrom the CanadianFederation ofIndependent Business(CFIB). In fact, themajority of farmers – 51per cent – plan to adoptnew, innovative tech-nologies over the nextthree years, and 44 percent are planning toexpand their business.

According to a recentstudy commissioned bythe federal government,

Canadians have manymisconceptions about theagriculture industry,including that it’s notinnovative, is shrinking,it potentially harms theenvironment, and thatfamily farms are becom-ing extinct.

“This is not OldMacDonald’s farm. Ournew report debunksCanadians’ outdatedview of the agriculturesector,” said MarilynBraun-Pollon, CFIB’svice-president of Agri-business.

“Agriculture inCanada is vibrant andinnovative. The sector

contributes over $100billion to the economyand supports one-in-eight jobs,” addedMandy D’Autremont,CFIB’s senior policyanalyst, Agri-businessand co-author of thereport.

CFIB’s report outlinesfour key realities offarming:

• Agriculture is inno-vative and modern;

• The agriculture sec-tor is growing;

• Farmers are takingaction to protect theenvironment;

• Farms are staying inthe family.

“This study highlightsthe ambition and opti-mism that make agricul-ture a major driver of theCanadian economy,” saidfederal agriculture minis-ter Gerry Ritz. “Our gov-ernment will continue topartner with industry toinvest in research andinnovation, ensuringCanadian farmers remaincompetitive in the globalmarket well into thefuture.”

The report adds thefarmers’ voice, but thework doesn’t stop there.

“Beyond promotingthe agriculture sector,government policiesneed to foster agricultur-al competitiveness.Farmers’ priorities forgovernment actioninclude further reducingred tape and the total taxburden, as well asincreased focus on indus-try research, develop-ment and innovation,”concluded Braun-Pollon.

Glowing ghosts,spooky sounds and flyingwitches — it must beHalloween. Alongsidedressing up in fun cos-tumes, and handing outcandy, Halloween givesyou an opportunity todecorate your home withall things black andorange. Jack-o-lanterns,hanging skeletons, andilluminated ghosts are allfestive decorations tomake a fun night evenmore enjoyable, butremember a lack of elec-trical safety is the wrongreason for Halloween tobe frightening.

Follow these electri-cal safety rules andensure your night will befun, scary, and above all,safe.

• Check for a certifiedsafety seal of approvalbefore you buy any newHalloween decorationsthat use electricity. Theseal means the producthas been tested for safetyhazards such as fire andelectric shock. Followusage labels carefully todetermine whether deco-

rations are intendedexclusively for indoor oroutdoor use. Electricaldecorations intended foroutdoors may give off toomuch heat for inside yourhome.

• When creating anoutdoor display, be sureto use extension cordssparingly and reject cordswith breaks and damagedwires. Make sure the cordis right for the job—never use an indoor cordoutdoors. Never leavedecorative lights on unat-tended, turn them offbefore bedtime and priorto leaving the house.

• Dried flowers, corn-stalks and crepe paper areall extremely flammable,so keep these and otherdecorations away fromopen flames and heatsources, such as lightbulbs, halogen lamps,and heaters.

• This is also a goodtime to check your smokedetectors and fire extin-guishers. Be sure every-one in your householdknows how to use anextinguisher.

Be electrically safethis Hallowe’en

Watch out for deer ticksLyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection that people can get from the bite of an infected blacklegged (deer) tick.

Manitobans can reduce contact with deer ticks by avoiding wooded or forested habitat, wearing long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, tucking in clothing, using an appropriate repellent (it should state ‘for use against ticks’ on the product label), looking for and removing ticks as soon as possible.

For more information about Lyme disease, its symptoms and how to prevent it, visit our website at www.manitoba.ca/health/lyme/

You can helpYou can help in the study of Lyme disease in Manitoba by collecting and submitting deer ticks for research purposes:

Deer ticks are smaller than the more common wood tick. Unlike wood ticks, they do not have white markings on their bodies.

If you find a deer tick, remove it slowly from skin or clothing using tweezers and steady pressure; avoid twisting. Cleanse area with soap and water or a disinfectant.

Place the tick in a small, crush-proof container (for example, a pill bottle) with a piece of slightly damp paper towel (to help keep the tick alive).

Firmly tape the lid shut. Check the pictures and additional information on the website

to determine if your tick might be a deer tick. Hand-deliver or mail the sample to the address below. If

mailing, place the container in a sealed plastic bag then in a cardboard box labeled: RESEARCH SPECIMENS – FRAGILE – HANDLE WITH CARE

Include your name, telephone number. email address and information about where, when and on whom (e.g. a dog,

a person) the tick was found. Deliver or mail to:

D a u p h i n - S w a nRiver-Marquette MPRobert Sopuck, says hewas delighted with theConservative govern-ment’s tabling of theCommon SenseFirearms LicensingAct last week. This billmeets the govern-ment’s objective to cutred tape for law-abid-ing firearms ownersand provide safe andsimple firearms poli-cies.

“Our governmenthas always stood up forlaw-abiding hunters,farmers and sport-shooters,” saidSopuck. “This legisla-tion will simplify andprovide clarity to thefirearms regime andreduce administrativeburdens for law abid-ing firearms ownerswhile protecting thesafety of Canadians.”

The act proposeschanges to theCriminal Code and theFirearms Act, whichwould enable the gov-ernment to take stepsto ensure the rights oflawful firearms ownersare respected.

“These amendmentscontinue our balancedapproach to firearmscontrol – one that ishelping us protect thesafety of Canadians,while at the same time,reducing the adminis-trative burden for law-abiding hunters, farm-ers and sport shooters,”noted Sopuck.

The new bill makesclassroom participa-tion in firearms safetytraining mandatory forfirst-time licence appli-cants among otherchanges.
