Sopuck Re-elected, But

supporters shook
the nation by voting Justin Trudeau as Canadas
23rd Prime Minister, local
voters stayed Conservative and re-elected Robert
Sopuck as the Member of
Parliament for the Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa Riding. Sopuck will
continue to represent this
area for another term, this
time as part of the official
opposition in Ottawa.
Incumbent Sopuck being re-elected in Canadas
42nd General Election is really no surprise, as Minnedosa area electors have been strongly supportive of the
Conservative party over the decades. Voting Conservative has been a common trend since local voters elected
Nick Mandziuk as this areas Conservative M.P. back in
the 1957 Federal Election. However, a close look at the
numbers from Mondays election show that Sopuck,
who has been this areas M.P, since November 2010, was
not the choice for the majority of the 41,462 electors who
voted in our riding. While Sopuck won the race with
19,229 votes in his favour, the combined total of remaining votes add up to 22,233 proving that overall, there
were more non-Sopuck votes than there were Sopuck
supporter votes.
While Sopuck garnered 46.4 percent of the vote, Liberal candidate, Ray Piche came in second with 12,193
votes (29.4 percent). Third most popular was former
M.P. Laverne Lewycky representing NDP with 5,083
votes (12.3 percent). Another former M.P. Inky Mark
running as an Independent received 8.1 percent of voters support with 3,369 votes. This ridings fifth candidate
was Kate Storey representing the green Party. She won
over 3.8 percent of votes getting 1,588 votes at the polls.
Voter turnout in Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa was
65.2 percent with 41,462 of the 63,187 registered electors
casting their vote at one of the ridings 265 polling stations.

Minnedosa Volunteer Firefighters battle runaway flames at a farm south of Minnedosa

when a shift in winds quickly turned a controlled burn in to a heart racing emergency.
Fortunately, there were no injuries or major losses as a result of this runaway fire.
By JEFF PEARSON
y first emergency story to

chase was a memorable one
for me when I discovered it was close
to home.
At around 4:30 p.m. on Friday,
October 16th, my family and I were
out enjoying the afternoon picking
up some groceries when I thought I
heard the Town Siren go. I paused, is

it 6 p.m. already? While searching for
my phone to verify the time, I heard
the siren go again there must be an
emergency!
We quickly finished up then off
to the checkouts we went! I knew
there could be no time to waste if I
wanted to get to the Fire Hall before
they left for the scene.
As we approach the Main Street

intersection by the Cenotaph, much
to my amazement our fire team on
route already! How could these volunteer firefighters leave their homes
or work, drive to the Fire Hall, gear
up and speed off to an emergency
that quickly? Absolutely amazing!

Town Council
Notes
By DARRYL HOLYK
i n n e d o s a To w n
Council met for its
regular monthly meeting
on the evening of Tuesday,
October 13th in Council Chambers. Mayor Orr
presided with Councillors
MacDowall, Skatch, Saler,
Wedgewood and Taylor
in attendance. Councillor
Luker was absent.
The meeting opened
with a visit from Federal
PC incumbent, Robert
Sopuck. Councillor Saler
asked Sopuck what his
plans would be regarding
support for projects such
as Minnedosa Regional
Events Centre. There are
more projects than there is
funding but I will do what I
can, responded Sopuck. I
will happily advocate for it
(MREC).
Councillor
Skatch
shared councils concerns
with the current health
care staff shortage being

experienced in the area
and encouraged the Federal government to get
more involved in assisting
the province or individual
communities in trying to
remedy the problem and
attract more doctors and
other health care workers
to communities.
A second delegation
to appear before council
was Bob Graham of the
Little Saskatchewan River
Conservation District. Bob
asked Council to strongly
consider providing a resolution of support in regards
to the Manitoba Wildlife
Federations move to ban
night hunting as it poses
severe safety concerns for
Manitobans.
Following Mr. Grahams presentation, Scott
DeMontigny and Jim Stevenson appeared representing the Minnedosa
Golf Club. The men presented plans for a major,
and much needed water
system upgrade at the
local golf club/course.
The total cost of the proposed upgrade comes in

at $115,000. The club requested the Town input
$68,409 plus tax to cover
the systems equipment
purchase which will include an automated computer system for watering
the greens overnight. The
club would cover the remaining cost for construction, labour, etc.
Councillor Saler reported that Minnedosas
new fire truck is having the
final touches added to it
and is hoped to be delivered to the local Fire De-
partment by the end of the

month. He also informed
Council that the reflective
material currently on the
Fire Departments rescue
van is not as highly visible
in the dark during evening
emergency calls as new
reflective material now
available. For the safety of
the volunteer fire fighters,
council agreed to have new
reflective material placed
on the rescue van.
Councillor Taylor reported on a recent Rec
Commission meeting and
indicated that long time

he Minnedosa Bisons have welcomed a new player!

Well, kind of, hes a bit shaky still. Mr. and Mrs. Bison
were supposedly finished having calves for the year,
but things happen, said Mrs. Bison. The proud parents
say he is doing very well and learning to trot. They are
both confident he will do just fine over the winter. Mr. Bison mentioned they had a healthy November baby a few
years ago, and he also reminded me, they are one of the
hardiest mammals to ever roam this continent.
Typically the calves are born in April or May, but every now and then things happen. Kevin Marcino, from
the Town of Minnedosa Public Works Department, mentioned they have seen calves born in November before,
just not often. Currently our bison family consists of 12
cows, three mature calves, a newborn and one bull.
Decades ago, our valley and the surrounding prairies, were the stomping grounds for millions of these
enormous mammals. Thanks to a tourism project spearheaded by the Minnedosa Lake Rehabilitation Committee, the bison returned to roam our valley again in March
of 1996. For the last 19 years our local bison herd has
been a popular attraction for both local residents and
visitors to our community.

Kudos on cleanup
Garry MacDowall and Ross Mackling sent me a

note highlighting the amazing fall maintenance work
being done by our Town employees and community
volunteers. Adding to the valleys natural beauty of
autumn colours, the men noticed the neatly trimmed
grass and general cleanup along the dam, beach area
and Heritage Village as they were on their morning
walk recently. It is the smaller maintenance done
throughout the year that is noticeable to visitors and
locals, write Garry and Ross. When not done, it is

your community has resonated so strongly with audiences that Mr. Griffiths has found himself in demand as
a speaker across the country. He first came up with the
idea standing in front of a classroom of youth. Instead of
challenging the class to identify what it takes to be successful, he instead put the query to them to identify what
would define a failure at life and what steps they could
take immediately if they were working toward that goal.
The lesson was directly transferrable to communities
and instead of attending town hall sessions to outline all
the things that are required for a rural setting to be successful, he has turned the spotlight onto unproductive
behaviours and attitudes in communities that contributed to a towns failure.

with no injuries to the residents and minimal damage to the structure, as fire
tried to consume a room
upstairs. Then on Saturday, the 17th, a local farmer
had a rather warm seat as
his combine caught on fire.
Apparently the straw somehow ignited. Thanks to the
speedy response of the fire
department and a hot motivated farmer, the fire was
quickly defeated and the
smoking combine was back
in harvesting action.
The sirens rang out again

on the afternoon of Monday, October 19th. Fortunately, this call was only a
false alarm.
Minnedosa and our

is very fortunate to have

Provincial Government Health Officer for the counties
of Minnedosa and Riding Mountain.
1895 The alarm of fi re sounded Saturday evening
and citizens quickly gathered at the old Jermyn warehouse on Minnedosa Avenue. The town pump proved
its value while pails were also quickly produced. The
fire was quickly extinguished.
1905 A Swedish settler imbibed too much fire water and made himself a nuisance on Main Street Saturday afternoon. Constable Law got he and took him
to the lock up.
1915 On Monday, an auto ran away from in front

of Minnedosa Hotel. A passenger climbed out over the
back before the machine made a half circle, turning
northbound on Main Street, mounted the sidewalk
and came to rest up against the harness shop without
causing any damage. The autos owner says he will
tie it to the hitching post next time he leaves it on the
street.
1965 Mr. Aubrey Randolph Henson, Minnedosas
oldest Main Street business man, passed away in Winnipeg after a very brief illness. At the golden age of 81,
Mr. Henson still continued his work in photography
and processing each and every day at his photo studio. He opened his first studio in Newdale in 1911 and
moved his business to Minnedosa in 1931.

Crumbling

As the prairie wind blows through the long abandoned Tales School, you can almost hear the voices
and laughter of young pupils who received their education in this very room so many decades ago.
have always had a fasination with old, abandonded buildings. I cant really explain what it is
about them but to me they showcase unique natural beauty as they slowly crumble into the ground.
Whenever I see an old abandoned building, I have
to stop and capture its unique appearance in photographs. While these buildings will one day vanish from the landscape, photographs will document their final days.
This summer, I stopped by the Tales Schoolhouse near Erickson and found it to display the
exact kind of deterioration I find appealing to the
eye; weathered boards, collapsing ceilings, sagging
floors, broken glass, rust and peeling paint. A perfect photo opporunity!
Like every building, this tiny prairie ediface
has a story. Tales School District No. 721 was established in 1892. Its name honoured Mr. Joseph
Tales, who provided one acre of land on which the
original log school was built.
The building pictured was built in 1911. It replaced the original log school and was constructed
by Mr. A Ragnan at a cost of $1,975.
Many of the old evergreen trees still standing
near the delapidated old school were planted by
students who attended the shcool.
Tales School closed in 1963.

Ag Report: Soybean Variety Choice and Maturity Data

By ELMER KASKIW
he relative success of
this years soybean
crop has many growers
looking to once again include it in next years cropping plans. Although still
somewhat premature, it
looks like the 2015 soybean
crop will produce a provincial average yield of somewhere around 40 bushels
per acre which will surpass
the previous record yield

of 38 bushels established
in 2013. It is certainly well
above the five-year average of 31 bushels per acre.
Given these yields there
is a lot of pressure coming from seed companies
to secure your variety for
2016 as acres are likely to
once again see an incremental increase from the
1.45 million acres grown in
Manitoba in 2015. In Park-
land soils, soybeans had a

yield range of between 35
to 55 bushels per acre with
an average yield estimated
to be in the 35 to 40 bushel
range.
This past growing season has been another excellent reference year for
judging soybean maturity
by variety. The crop was
not shut down prematurely by dry conditions in August or terminated by frost

in early September. These

factors allowed varieties to
express their true maturity
and yield potential. Growers are best advised to first
focus upon days to maturity when choosing their
soybean variety with less
emphasis being placed
upon overall yield. Days
to maturity of between 110
and 120 days are general
guidelines for varietal selection for Parkland soils.
Th ese days to maturity
are the days from seeding
to 95 percent brown pod
(when seeds rattle within
the pods when plants are
shaken).
Unfortunately,
the Seed Manitoba 2016
soybean data from the
2015 growing season is
only now being compiled
so we only have the soybean data from Seed Manitoba 2015 and company
data for making a varietal
selection.
One of the best strategies when choosing soybean varieties is to consider
growing multiple varieties
to see which variety might
do best on your particular farm. Growing conditions can vary significantly
within Parkland soils. This
is mainly due to changes
in elevation and soil type.
Higher elevations will have
greater fl uctuations in soil
temperature
especially
earlier in the spring which
can slow soybean emergence and pod set later in
the growing season. Lower
elevations and coarser soils
are better able to regulate

perature which will allow

for earlier seeding and
somewhat longer season
varieties. Growing multiple
varieties also allows you to
hedge somewhat against
production risk. A dry,
hot August will see many
early maturing varieties
shut down prematurely severely reducing yields. By
growing both an early and
somewhat later variety one
is better able to mitigate
the risk of growing season
variability and its overall affect on yield. In regards to
acres, soybeans should still
be considered a high risk
crop in Parkland regions
requiring between 110 and
120 days for maturity depending upon the growing
season. This will mean that

that escaped hail damage

resulted in a yield loss of
approximately 50 percent
under close to ideal late
summer and fall growing
conditions. Ontario and
U.S. hail loss data suggest
losses at this stage to be in
the 25 to 30 percent range.
This certainly points to the
need for Manitoba data in
measuring and assessing
hail losses that more accurately refl ect losses in
soybeans under Manitoba
growing conditions.

hat could be more

appealing to the eyes
and the appetite than the
appearance of a pomegranate that has just been
pulled apart? The sight of
the large cluster of seeds
glistening like a crimson
beehive makes my mouth
water! The taste of these
juicy tidbits that explode
with flavour is just the beginning of the benefits to
eating this wonderful fruit.
The name pomegranate is derived from the Latin name granatum meaning fruit of many seeds.
Th e leathery skin and
membrane of this fruit are

inedible, and therefore the
seeds are the only part that
we consume. Each small
seed is encompassed in a
juice filled casing, and both
can easily be consumed together. Some opt to discard
the small inner seed after
robbing it of its juice, but
this tedious task is not necessary. Although these inner seeds are slightly bitter
in comparison to the juice
that surrounds them, they
are a great source of fiber.

are grown in moderately
tropical climates, and it is
believed that pomegranates originated from the
areas of Iran and Turkey.
When choosing a pomegranate, make sure it is
unblemished and bright
red in colour. It should
feel heavy for its size when
picked up. Th ey can be
stored at room temperature for a few days, but are
best stored in the refrigerator where they can last for
up to three weeks.
Although the seed
casings are somewhat durable, care should be taken
when preparing this fruit
for consumption. With a
sharp knife cut just the
skin off from the top of the
pomegranate, where the
crown is located. Score the
skin into four sections vertically, being careful not to
insert the blade of the knife
deeper than the thickness of the skin. Pull the
pomegranate apart into
two halves and then into
the four sections. Take care
to damage as few of the
seeds as possible during
this procedure as the juice
will stain clothing very easily. Then gently release the
seeds from their nestled
clusters on the inner membrane with your fingers.

John Neabel grew up on a
farm two miles east of Forrest.
He was a member of the 4-H
Swine Club, won champion pig

large garden so John learned gardening early. At about 12, John
joined the calf club, sold his first

projects. Some of his interests in Minnedosa were the Nature

Also to Jeff and Junita who gave Marie their home and support
while I was in hospital and brought her each week to visit in

thoughtfulness and concern is greatly appreciated. A friend is a
friend. Marie, our family, and I will always hold a special place

recovery. Elwood Fawcett. x

Husqvarna Chainsaw Safety Tips For Fall Yard Work

SUBMITTED
hether youre removing fallen branches,

stocking up on firewood,
or just pruning trees in
the backyard, there is lots
of yard work to be completed in the fall and using
a chainsaw is an effective
way to get the job done.
Very little is as satisfying
as gripping your chainsaw
with its razor-sharp teeth,
powerful engine and ripping through a project.
But chainsaws are powerful machines that need to

be respected or operators
may sustain unexpected
injuries.
Th ere are some additional safety tips to keep
in mind when operating a
chainsaw:
Refresh your memory:
If your saw is new or you
have not used it in a few
years, make sure you give
yourself a quick refresher
course by reading over the
manual. If you cannot find
*We accept Visa, Master Card & debit card purchases

*We deliver within town limits Mon - Sat at 4:00 p.m
($2 charge - $10 minimum order)
*Seniors Discount every Friday (65 & up)
the manual, take your tool

to a local chainsaw dealer
like Husqvarna who can
help familiarize you with
your machine.
Wear protective gear:
No job is too small for
protective gear. Make sure
you are wearing a helmet,
ear phones, gloves, goggles, chaps and protective
shoes.
Keep the chain sharp:
A dull chain is unsafe,
hard on both the bar and
chain and overworks you
and your saw. Make sure

your chain is sharp before
starting the job.
Adjusting chain tension: Its also important to
check the chain tension,
a loose one damages the
drivers bar on the chain
and prevents it from fitting
back into the bar groove.
Recheck it after every hour
or so of use and adjust it if
necessary, especially with
new chains as they can
stretch.
Th e buddy system:
Never cut alone. If an accident occurs, youll need

someone there to administer first aid and summon
medical assistance.
Tune up: The dealer can
also give your chainsaw a
tune up before you start
using it. Always get your
saw checked if it has been
sitting idle for months.
No surprises: Instruct
everyone not to approach
unless you are certain
they can see you or the
chainsaw is not in use.
Sale Dates:
OCTOBER 23RD - OCTOBER 29TH
(STARTS FRIDAY9:00 A.M. - ENDS THURSDAY 9:00 P.M.)
GROCERY
The noise of the chainsaw

and the concentration required may make the operator oblivious to someone coming up to them.
Be sure to tell everyone to
wait until youre finished
cutting to approach.
Additional information and tips are available
at www.husqvarna.ca or
stop by Four Seasons Repair, Minnedosa.
