Benefit Social
If you havent already marked your calendars, put
Saturday, June 10th down as the night of a benefit social
for the Turner family. Kailyn Turner was seriously injured
in a car accident in December and friends have orga-
nized a benefit evening to provide some financial aid for
her family throughout her recovery, rehabilitation and
care. Watch for a feature article in an upcoming edition
of The Tribune.
Ten Years On the job
This past Tuesday, May 23rd marked the tenth anni-
versary of the first official day of employment for our local
Archivist, Carol Ranson at the Minnedosa Regional Ar-
chives.
Seeding Progress
Farmers in the area have been pleased with the re-
cent weather conditions which is allowing them to get
their 2017 crops in the ground. According to this weeks
provincial crop report, 75% of seeding is complete in the
southwest region of Manitoba. Cereal crops are approxi-
matley 80 to 90% seeded with about 50-60% of canola in
the ground. 60 to 70% of soybeans are planted with field
peas and corn pretty much all seeded.
On the move
This July will mark the one year anniversary of the de-
molition of the historic Pearson Block, the former Dollar
Store and MLA constituency offi ce. Since that time, the
site has been redeveloped into a modern office complex
for Heritage Co-op administration, Alexander Jackson
Law Office and the local MNP office. Over the past week,
the big move into the new premise has been underway.

Are You At Risk?
By CAM DAHL
President of Cereals Canada
S hould GM be labeled? Is organic healthier? Does
glyphosate cause cancer? Do you put your kids at risk
if you feed them meat or is the cave-man diet the way
to go? Your good friend and neighbour thinks Gwyneth
Paltrow is right about all this stuff, is she correct?
All of these questions, and a few conspiracy theo-
ries, flood Twitter, Facebook and every other social me-
dia tool. Celebrities are using food fear to promote
themselves, their latest book and their latest lifestyle
products. It is a deluge of information and misinfor-
mation. What should consumers really believe? What
should we think about when we are filling our grocery
basket?
I would like to boil this down to two words; haz-
ard and risk.
It is possible that a meteorite will fall on your head
(mine too) in the next ten minutes. This is a hazard. But
should this hazard dictate what we do every day? Do
we need to retreat to a concrete bunker because of the
meteorite threat? Some might say that this is an absurd
example, but it is just as real, and more likely, as most of
the food fears that social media is pumping out every
day.
We practically deal with hazards every day. How we
deal with them is determined by (a) the likelihood that
something will occur and (b) what can be done to miti-
gate trouble. The probability of that meteorite hitting
either of us on the head is infinitesimally small (but it
is not zero). There is almost no risk so we dont have to
change our life. Crossing the street is a hazardous opera-
tion, but we can mitigate this by looking both ways for
traffic.
The same principles apply to our food. Everything
can be a hazard. Drink a lot of water too fast and your
electrolyte balance will be upset and you will die. This
is a hazard, but not much of a risk because the problem
can be easily avoided. Feed a rat nothing but raw pota-
toes for its entire life and it might develop tumours. This
shows a hazard, but it is not a complete assessment of
risk and does not mean that we need to stop eating po-
tatoes.
The World Health Organizations (WHO) Interna-
tional Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has as-
signed the hazard classification probably carcinogenic
to humans seventy-nine times, including to shift work,
hot beverages, and glyphosate. But we need to remem-
ber that hazard is only one part of the equation. When
we assess risk in our daily lives we must also consider

probability (or exposure) and the ability to take mitigat-
ing action.
It is the job of Heath Canada regulators to look
beyond potential hazard (we would all be in bunkers
if they did not) and protect Canadians through com-
prehensive science-based risk assessments of food
ingredients, food processing and the inputs farm-
ers use to grow our crops, fruits, and vegetables.
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA, part
of Health Canada) employs over 350 scientists whose
sole purpose is to conduct evaluations of new and ex-
isting insecticides, fungicides and herbicides. A product
must go through over 200 different health and environ-
mental studies before approval is given for use. The risk,
not just the hazards, are fully assessed.
Glyphosate provides a good example of the way we
can sort through the diff erence between information
and misinformation. Glyphosate is the worlds most
commonly used pesticide, which might explain why it is
a common target for those who want to jettison modern
agricultural practices. How do consumers decide who to
believe, the farmer who says it is safe or the activist who
wants it banned?
Recently the PMRA released its re-evaluation of
the safety of glyphosate. The work was carried out over
seven years and was extensive, including review and in-
corporation of more than 450 peer-reviewed, published
scientific studies.
The PMRA has issued unequivocal fi ndings stat-
ing that products containing glyphosate are unlikely to
affect your health (when used according to label direc-
tions). The Agency went further, explaining that a haz-
ard classification, such as the one issued by IRAC, is not
a health risk assessment. The level of human exposure,
which determines the actual risk, must also be taken
into account.
Whats more, on April 12th the Canadian Food in-
spection Agency (CFIA) released a report on the testing
of Canadian food for glyphosate residues. Testing foods
for residues is a tool used by the CFIA to detect food
safety risks and ensure that the food supply is safe. The
CFIAs report, appropriately titled Safeguarding with
Science, reported, no human health concerns were
identified.
Canadian pesticide registration and food safety
regulations are designed to scientifically assess risks to
Canadians heath. Pesticides are registered for use in
Canada only if the level of exposure to Canadians does
not cause any harmful eff ects, including cancer. The
work done by Health Canada helps us sort through the
conflicting facts coming at us from all sides.

needs of students and
youth, as well as the needs
of employers who have va-
cant positions to fill, by of-
fering a free referral service
to those who wish to hire
an eager, hard-working
young person. Employers
of all types business and
household can take ad-
vantage of the free services
the Centre provides. Only
the most qualified candi-
dates are referred, and the
employer always has the
final hiring decision.
We encourage stu-
dents and youth over the
age of 12 to register with

ing full-time, part-time, or

Make Your Own Air Freshener

Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
I am not only getting
tired of replacing numer-
ous plug-in air fresheners
around my home, but it is
also becoming expensive.
Do you have a recipe for
homemade air freshen-
ers? Ruth
Dear Ruth,
Here is a very simple
air freshener that you can
make yourself. In a spray
bottle, mix half cup rub-
bing alcohol, one cup wa-
ter and ten drops lemon
essential oil. Spray room
as needed. You can even
add a few drops of this
recipe to your vacuum
bag. Also, placing sprigs
of eucalyptus around
your home will leave you
with a nice aroma. Or put
a bowl of vanilla in rooms
that need freshening.
Another option is to pur-
chase a catalytic lamp,
although a little pricey,
it should last for many
years. These fragrance
lamps are said to actually
purify the air, eliminate
unpleasant odors and
leave behind wonderful
fragrances that will fill
your home or office. One
more solution, I love the
smell of beeswax candles,
what a wonderful scent
when lit. This is another
great way to make a room
smell nice without adding
a bunch of unhealthy tox-
ins into the air.
Dear Reena,
Is using vegetable oil
on new butcher block a
good idea?Or do I need
to pick up some mineral
oil or something like that?
Max
Dear Max,
For everyday clean-
ing, wipe butcher block
with dish soap and water.
Rinse with water. To sani-
tize butcher block, com-
bine 1 part white vinegar
into a spray bottle with
4 parts water. Spray and
leave for 10 mins. wipe.
When the time comes to
oil butcher block, food
grade mineral oil is rec-
ommended. This pre-
vents wood from smelling
rancid over time. Butcher
block is beautiful and
durable, and can last for
many years, if cared for

Many people know
that mosquitoes hate the
smell of lavender. So in-
stead of drenching my
kids with bug spray, I have
come up with a unique
solution. I purchased lav-
ender liquid fabric soft-
ener on-line. I fill a lidded
plastic container with the
fabric softener and place
a few small sponges in-
side the container. When-
ever I do the wash, I toss
in a sponge. My clothes
end up smelling like lav-
ender which helps repel

enjoyment for members of
the community.
Straker is a singer-
songwriter-pianist, whos
genre is a combination of
singer-songwriter, folk and
pop music, and draws its
inspiration from roots mu-
sic, as his songs often tell
stories. He is promoting
his new album, Dirt Road
Confessional, which he de-
scribes as a push and pull
between the desire and
the need as a musician to
be on the road performing
your songs, which keeps
you away all the time. That

Soltys in the past, Straker
so much enjoyed working
with her, that he jumped
at the opportunity to do
so again. We became fast
friends, said Straker, she
is a pretty likeable person.
If there is enough interest
generated in the event, it
is possible that Soltys will
move it from the studio to
the pavilion at the beach,
to accommodate more
people.
Straker, who hails from
Regina, SK, has been com-
pared to Billy Joel, Elton
John, Harry Nilsson and
Rufus Wainwright. How-
ever, his new album can
truly be called his own.
