Provincial Bloom Competition
By HILLARY CAMPBELL

DPWRSP T he Communities in
Bloom group is back
at it, making Minnedosa
beautiful again! The group
has started planning their
fl oral attack on the town,
and theyve got big plans
this year.
 Anyone who is plan-
ning on working in their
17052FF0 garden this summer, be
aware that Minnedosa has
been entered in the pro-
vincial competition, to be
judged in July. The town
will be competing against
other towns of its size, with
a population of 1,000 to
3,000 people. Judges will
be coming from all over
the province to critique the
town on its flowers, trees,
and the level of care taken
for the environment.
We hope that people
will be cognitive of the
competition and maybe
work on their yards and
make the town look nice,
noted Linda Bertram, from
Communities in Bloom.
In September, the
judges for the competi-
tion will have a provincial
meeting and conference,
where they will announce
the winners. In the past,
Minnedosas Communi-
ties in Bloom group was
awarded for their hang-
ing baskets, and received
more hanging baskets
as a prize. This year, the
group will also have new
self-watering planters and
hanging pots, as they typi-
cally require a significant
amount of water.
Part of the plan that
Communities in Bloom
hopes to roll out includes
awarding a Yard of the
Week in Minnedosa. The community will likely see
group will split the town
into four quadrants, and
choose a garden from
each of those quadrants
as the Yard of the Week.
Th e hope, according to
Bertram, is to encourage
people to be mindful of
the way the town and their
own yards look.
In the coming weeks,
Communities in Bloom,
in conjunction with
Minnedosas 4-H group
will be preparing and
planting the planters
around town. The plants
for these will be a combi-
nation of plants from local
greenhouses, Dalrymples
and Skoglunds.

for Canada 150, and will
show off Minnedosas pa-

theme will also follow
many of the other flowers
and planters around town
this year.
In an eff ort to clean up
the town, Communities in

the Personal Care
Homes Patio Project broke
ground. After fundraising
for six years the project is
finally underway, giving
the patio a much deserved
facelift and a more com-

The grass and old
fence will be removed and
a new concrete pad and a
new fence will be installed.
The previous structure will
return with a brand new
canopy cover. The con-

to pour cement by Friday,

install the fence next week.
We are extremely pleased
that the project has started
after much fundraising

really got busy the last four

ther, Elvin Birch (a contrac-
tor), helped us by doing
some preliminary draw-

we knew what work was
involved and what sum of
money we were needing to
complete such a project.
Some of the previ-

some items will be newly

will be donated by other
organizations in town. For

and the men have been
extremely generous with
their time and materials to

1887 If prairie fires keep on, the hills surrounding

structive fires have swept through the hills and left very
little but blackened stumps.
1897 The name at of the Post offi ce at Strathclair has

master.
1907 A fl ag pole has been raised beside the main

1917 The CPR is getting material on the ground for

place of the present wooden structure.
T he Liberals announced a proposal in Budget 2017
to eliminate the provision that allows farmers to
defer cash ticket purchases of listed grains to the sub-
sequent tax year. Now, as part of their so-called con-
sultations, the government is giving farmers only until
May 24 to submit feedback.
As Member of Parliament for a constituency driv-
en by agriculture, I know this proposal will have seri-
ous negative implications and I want to encourage all
Manitoba farmers to submit their views before it is too
late.
The current cash purchase ticket system helps
farmers to stabilize income from year to year to ensure
the long term sustainability of their operation. A farm-
er could have a bumper crop one year and a drought
or flood the next, but the system allows for some flex-
ibility in dealing with these fluctuations. Farmers can
be prepared for things outside of their control and file
taxes accordingly.
The proposed changes would limit producers abil-
ity to sell their product on their own time frame and
our farming communities.
Manitoba farmers deserve to have their voices
heard.
If you farm or deal with farmers, I would highly en-
courage you to make your views known on this impor-
tant issue. I understand that this is a busy time as you
are starting to seed or preparing your machinery and
anxiously waiting to get into the fields. Your email does
not have to be too lengthy or detailed, but your voice
does need to be heard.
If farmers do not step up, the Liberals will un-
doubtedly eliminate this provision, and hurt farmers
that are already working with thin margins, and harm
the rural communities they support.
All feedback for the government on this proposal
needs to be sent to Consultation_Tax_2017@canada.ca
before May 24th, 2017.
If you have any questions or concerns about how
to submit feedback on this proposal, please contact
my constituency offices at: 204-848-7000 or 1-877-405-

Bear Takes Shelter In Clanwilliam

Letters to the
ground. This alleviated
some of my concerns but
I was not leaving my post
at the window watching,
what trapped it can be
very dangerous and best
to keep your distance.
I am happy to say

Editor
Dear Editor,
A s you can see from
this picture, Clanwil-
liam had a visitor May 5th.
It was beautiful and sunny
with temperatures in the
mid 20s around 3:00 p.m.
It is not unusual for Clan-
william to have wildlife
wander through, since we
are, after all, a small, ru-
ral community with farm
fields bordering all sides
of the community. This
day, however, our wildlife
visitor decided to hang
around for about four-
and-a-half hours.
My neighbour to the
south was in her backyard
with a couple of her little
dogs and when she came
around the corner of her
house to head inside she
encountered this bear.
Im not sure who was
more surprised. Fortu-
nately, she was fairly close
to her door and the bear
to a tree. So she ran inside
and the bear went up the
tree.
I believe, because
there were farmers with
their large equipment
on the fields to the east,
west, and south that this
young bear felt somewhat
trapped and that is why it
didnt just continue on its
way. Judging from the size
of this bear it was likely
the first time it found itself
on its own, recently wak-
ing up from hibernation,
and hungry.
Another neighbour
to the north of me also
saw the bear coming into
town from the southeast
and called the Conser-
vation Office. She was
told that the bear didnt
pose a threat and no one
would be coming. At that
point the bear decided
to change trees and ran
up the spruce tree in the
playground. I live directly
across the street from the
playground and know that
children from the commu-
nity and surrounding area
play there often. With it
being such a beautiful day
and the children arriving
home from school by now
there was a huge chance
that they could be coming
over to hang out and play.
Most times the kids come
17052HH3
over without their parents
because they are around 9
or 10 years old with their
younger siblings. Hav-
ing lived in Central BC for
many years before moving
to Manitoba, I have first-
hand knowledge of what
can happen when curious
children and bears come
together. This was an ex-
perience I definitely dont
want again.
I decided this did
pose a hazard and called
the Minnedosa RCMP de-
tachment. They returned
my first call, speaking with
my husband telling him
that the Conservation of-
fice had been informed
and there was no hazard.
I called back to inform
them that the bear was up
a tree in the playground
and it had the potential to

be very hazardous. Reluc-
tantly, two RCMP officers
showed up. They assessed
the situation and listened
to my concerns but their
hands were tied since the
Conservation Officer had
decided the bear wasnt
a threat to the citizens of
Clanwilliam and the near-
est tranquilizer gun was
located somewhere south
of Killarney. My view on
the potential threat was
not calmed. I had phoned
some of the residents but
I discovered that a num-
ber of people no longer
have land lines which are
listed in the phone book
and are using cell phones
which are not. Finally, the
RCMP Officers decided
they could knock on some
doors and let people know
not to go near the play-
to be sure no one inadver- that no one was hurt and

Mavericks Heading
Back Into Action
By DARRYL HOLYK
T he Santa Clara Baseball League will soon be back in
action for the 2017 season. Last years league cham-
pions, the Portage Padres, will join seven other teams for
baseball action this summer. The remaining Santa Clara
teams include our own Minnedosa Mavericks, Neepawa
Cubs, Plumas Pirates, Carberry Royals, Austin As, Dau-
phin Brewers and Ebb and Flow Lakers.
Opening day for the new season is next Wednesday,
May 17th. The Minnedosa Mavericks will host their home
opener that night at the Glennis Scott Field starting at 7
p.m. when they take on the Neepawa Cubs. Be sure to
head out, fill the stands and cheer on our Mavericks as
they work to reclaim their championship title. The Mav-
ericks won the championship a record ten consecutive
seasons until being defeated in the playoffs last season.
Regular play will continue through June with league
playoffs scheduled to begin the week of July 12th. Good
luck to our Minnedosa Mavericks!

Minnedosa and Area Food Bank Needs Continued Support

O n May 2nd, the

The meeting, according to

Bertram noted that
there is a need for new

show an interest, it is likely
that there will be a higher

Fabulous Tips from Canadians
Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
A s we prepare to cele-
brate the 150th Anni-
versary of our great coun-
try, we can also feel united
with these useful tips sent
in by people from across
the nation.
Canada Day Trivia:
What does the word
Canada mean?
Tackle lip balm on
fabrics by dabbing water-
less hand cleaner onto the
area. Rub gently and wash
as usual. Hang to dry. For
lip balm stains that have
gone through the washer
and dryer; soak the clothes
in hot water and Oxy Clean
or soak each garment sep-
arately in half-cup Arm
and Hammer washing
soda and enough hot water
to cover the clothes for 30
minutes. Wash as usual.
Air dry. Repeat until stains
are gone. Dawne
Secure breading onto
meat during frying, by add-
ing half teaspoon of sugar
to the batter. Submitted by
Brian P.
To grab the full bene-
fits of flax seed in recipes,
grind the flax in a coffee
grinder. Add ground flax
to cereals, muffin and cake
recipes. Flax is high in al-
pha linolenic acid which
is a type of plant-derived
omega 3 fatty acid, similar
to that found in salmon.
Submitted by Angela R.
Do Canadians love
mosquitoes? Prevent mos-
quitoes from breeding in
your bird bath by adding a
few drops of canola oil or
any vegetable-based oil to
the water. Doing this will
create a light surface coat-
ing that wont harm birds
but will stop mosquitoes
from making more mos-
quitoes! Submitted by Jim
D.
Un-gum me you fool!
Remove sticky labels on
jeans, by wiping the area
with rubbing alcohol and
gently scraping with a plas-
tic putty knife. Submitted
by Tracia S.
About 20 years ago we had
a serious infestation of
silverfish. I dont remem-
ber where I learned this
solution, but it worked. A
mixture of powdered sugar
and boric acid spread in a
few places along the base-
boards did the trick (take
caution around children
and pets). No fumigation
necessary. I havent seen a
single silverfish since. Sub-
mitted by Flora
Dont toss out the
bread crusts that your
family wont eat. Soak
them in two-third cups
buttermilk for 10 minutes.
Squeeze out excess milk
and add to meatloaf before
baking. Moist and yummy!
Submitted by Natalie L.
Shiny hair; is possible with
a bit of coconut oil. Rub
oil onto your scalp once
a week. Wash hair in the
morning. Submitted by
Leslie D.
Smooth skin; use a
version of the secret recipe
that Cleopatra used. Into
your bath water, drop two
cups of powdered milk.
Submitted by Angel L.
On the topic of milk
Wendy wrote: Tackle a
fresh milk spill in the back
of a car. Sprinkle a box of
baking soda over the of-
fending odor and cover the
area with newspaper, leave
undisturbed for three days.
Remove newspaper, vac-
uum up baking soda. Voila
no more smell.

I use the powdered
laundry detergent that is
sold in plastic pails. It is
such a struggle to get the
lid off with each use, so
now I just rest the lid on
top of the pail. Needless
to say, this allows mois-
ture in, causing a problem
with clumping. I decided
to toss in a couple of pack-
ages of the silica gelthat is
sold with shoes. It keeps
the laundry detergent dry
and works amazingly well!
Submitted by Veronica S.
Whenever I accidentally
drop hair dye onto the
carpet, I quickly pour the
lotion from the home hair
dye kit onto the area and
dab it with a white cloth.
The lotion is great at lift-
ing the colour out of the
carpet. Submitted by Hair
girl
Get serious about saving
pennies by using up the
ketchup at the bottom of
your almost empty bottle.
Add a little water or vin-
egar and shake, then use
the liquid to flavor soups,
stews or salad dressings.

Got grout? Scrub with
Listerine mouthwash and
an old toothbrush; cleans
stains, messes and gen-
eral day to day grout gunk.
