Carlyle’s-and Canada’sCarter Morrison returned home from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro to a hometown welcome in his honourfrom the front seat of a �ire truck and accompanied by an RCMP and Carlyle Fire & Rescue escort, as well wishers lined Carlyle’s Main Street on Tuesday, August 9, mere hours after Carter’s return from Brazil.

Twelve-year-old Carteralong with Team Canada �lagbearer and Olympic gold medallist, Rosie MacLennan-led Team Canada into the 80,000-seat Rio’s Maracana stadium for the Rio 2016 opening ceremony, watched by a

global audience numbering in the billions. Carter was only one of �ive Canadian ambassadors chosen to represent Ronald McDonald Houses in Rio and one of nearly 100 McDonald’s Olympic Kids who represented the charity at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad.

Carter, who was born with achondroplasia, has spent time in Ronald McDonald Houses in each of the three prairie provinces since he was a baby. He was the only young person in Canada who was asked outright to represent the charity in Rio. “He was one of �ive kids from Canada and one of about 100 from throughout the world who represented Ronald McDonald Houses at the Olympics,” says his dad, Trevor Mor-

rison, who accompanied his son to Rio. “A lot of the kids had to enter contests or otherwise compete for the chance to go, but Carter was asked to go without having to do any of that.

“We’re really proud of Carter and his selection to represent Canada in Rio,” says Carlyle Mayor Wayne Orsted.

“Carter is a kid who loves sports-all sports,” says Nicole Currie of Carlyle’s The Pearl Boutique, one of the parade’s organizers. “He has the best hand-eye coordination of any kid I’ve ever seen. I can’t think of a more deserving kid to represent Canada at the Olympics than him.”

When asked, Currie says organizing Carter’s welcome home was surprisingly easy. “I think everyone likes Carter and everyone is so proud of his achievement,” she says. “When I went to the RCMP detachment to ask about an of�icial escort, I saw (Fire Chief) Don Van Meer there, asking about the same thing.

So I wasn’t the only person who wanted to give Carter a special welcome home.”

“The RCMP were right on board, businesses, individuals, everyone was sharing the news and spreading the word.”

Before posing for pictures and signing autographs, Carter thanked the crowd, saying: “It was really cool to be in Rio and I’d like to thank all of you for supporting me.”

Main Street merchant Ken King of King’s, says: “He makes us all proud to be from Carlyle”

At 18-years-old, Carson Harcourt of Kipling, has 14 years of golďż˝ing experience under his belt and has competed in a variety of highly skilled events including the Canadian Jr. Boys National Championship recently hosted in St. John’s, Newfoundland. “[I] started playing golf at the age of four, my parents always had me out on the course in my car seat and as soon as I could swing the club, I started playing,â€? Harcourt recalls. “I ďż˝irst became interested because it was an activity that I could spend time with my parents doing and I continued to be interested because I constantly improved.â€?

Harcourt continued to excel and at the age of 10 he took in his ďż˝irst tournament in Melville: “[I] became hooked when I entered my ďż˝irst junior tournament in Melville; I made some new friends and won a prize, and I thought that was the best thing ever and since then I have enjoyed competitive golf.â€?

Brandi Pollock VIRDEN EMPIRE-ADVANCE reporter2@empireadvance.ca

“A career in auto retailing requires hard work,

Harcourt, whose home course is Golf Kenosee, has competed at challenging courses and enjoys the opportunities that golf has provided him. “This year I’ve competed on the Maple Leaf Junior Tour in two events: one in Swift Current and one in Estevan,â€? Harcourt spoke of his busy schedule this summer. “I ďż˝inished tied for 10th in Swift and won the Estevan tournament in a playoff hole. I competed in the RBC Open in Nipawin, a tournament with both pros and amateur golfers; I ďż˝inished tied for 11th in that. I also competed in the Saskatchewan Amateur where I ďż˝inished T20 and the Saskatchewan Junior where I was T2.â€? “I competed in two national events: one was the Canadian National Future Links in Neepawa, MB, and the other was the Canadian Junior Boys National Championship in St. John’s, Newfoundland.â€?

Harcourt earned his way onto the Canadian Junior Boys National Championship, Team Saskatchewan, earning one of the

Canadian Junior Boys National Championship - Team Saskatchewan - L to R : Kade Johnson (Yorkton), Roman Timmerman (Saskatoon), and Carson Harcourt (Kipling). top three scores through three rounds of play at a provincial tournament. “I never felt any pressure while playing, my dad always says ‘it’s just a game, so go have fun.’ So, whenever I get into a situation where I feel pressure or frustration I can just think back to that and

I realize that what happens on the golf course doesn’t really matter at the end of the day and life goes on. There’s no point in being mad or disappointed, I’m just happy I’m out on the course.

Some people don’t have the opportunities that I do.�

Someone who excels in one or more of them will stand out. And men and women who put that package together early enough in their careers will be honoured on Automotive News’ list of 40 Under 40,� explains the Auto News.

This is exactly what Woodworth Dodge managing partner Brandin Wilkinson did; made July’s Top 40 Under 40.

Wilkinson got into sales in a bit of a unique way compared to most, but it is clear this is exactly where he is meant to be. “I took my wife’s car in for service work to the local GM Dealership on one of my days off from welding.�

Wilkinson continued explaining, “The Salesman at the time, Troy Stewart, and I, got chatting for a bit and I noticed that four of the six ofďż˝ices had their lights off. And I’m not sure where this came from, but something inside told me to say “I can ďż˝ill one of those ofďż˝ices for you if you want.â€? I started sweating profusely.â€?

Although Wilkinson started his career in a

random manner, he did not continue it that way, he progressed to managing partner six years later by having loyal customers, a great team environment, mentorship from staff and family, a lot of hard work, and long hours. Wilkinson was approached by Don Carter in 2013, who is currently his business partner at Woodworth Dodge, to partner in the company. “When I ďż˝irst started my career, I felt an obligation to the dealership and managers for taking a chance on me, so that drove the motivation to want to succeed that much further.â€? Wilkinson continued, “More recently, I’ve invested a lot of time and energy into self-development, which has had a positive impact here at Woodworth Dodge.â€?

The three years that Wilkinson has been managing partner, the sales have grown by a volume of 61 percent; in other words, about triple the national average. “We have shown no signs of slowing down.� Wilkinson

Preparing for the tournaments came with dedication to the sport: “I prepared for the tournament by practicing and playing at Golf Kenosee and the Kingswood Golf Course in Kipling basically every day.� “I’d like to thank all of the men at Golf Keno-

School swim program ensures all Souris students learn to swim

spdealer@mts.net

“No kid from Souris School is going to drown on our watch,” former Souris School physical education teacher Walter Hall. That was twenty years ago and since that time every student who attends Souris School learns to swim.

Manitoba has seen its fair share of tragic drowning deaths this year and with the latest tragedy, two children drowned at Grand Beach, that program started because Hall wouldn’t take no for an answer seems more and more valuable.

People who were around at that time can’t remember the exact details surrounding the decision, a joint measure between Souris School and the Souris Valley Recreation Department, all they can recall is that Hall was adamant about the students learn to swim.

Recreation Director Carole Williams remembers that Hall sat on the recreation board with her and when he brought up the idea of joining together to present the program to the school division, the rest of the board thought it was a great idea. “He approached us with the idea of giving swimming lessons to all the students and we decided that we needed to run with it,” explained Williams. “I can’t remember why he felt so strongly about it but he wasn’t taking no for an answer.”

Barb Falloon, who retired from Souris School in 2012, was a colleague of Halls and she remembers the program coming into the school. “It was a great idea and I do remember him feeling strongly about it,” she said. “I’m not sure what is was that motivated him.

Maybe it was the river being so close or the pool but he said that we have the opportunity to make sure every kid learns the basics of swimming and so that’s exactly what happened.”

The Souris River does run directly through the community and there have been fatalities over the years. In addition, the swinging bridge has always been a draw for kids who viewed it as a challenge to make the jump from the bridge to

Tragic drownings emphasize importance of swim program

Recent drownings in Manitoba have reminded Souris residents how important the school swim program, started twenty years ago is to students. Including all students from Grade 1 – 4, the Red Cross lessons runs for two weeks every June on a daily basis. As such, all students from Souris School learn the basics of swimming as part of their physical education program. Pictured above, adults and children enjoy the Souris Pool under the watchful eye of a trained lifeguard. PHOTO|DEBBIE BUTLER the river. There was also Plum Creek and the pool to take into consideration. With the program, initiated by Hall and supported by the recreation department and the school division, all students would have the basic knowledge of swimming, enough knowledge to save themselves if they got into a dangerous situation on water, either in the river, creek or pool.

The Swim program, which is part of the physical education program begins in Grade 1 and runs through Grade 4.

Students spend the �irst two weeks of June busing to the pool every day to take a swimming lesson.

This happens every year and all of the students are given Red Cross swimming lessons, enough so that they can save themselves if they ever get into trouble in the water.

The cost is subsidized to the tune of $25.00 per student and the division picks up the tab for busing.

“This program is not only good for the kids who live in town,” stated Williams. “But a lot of the rural kids back then probably didn’t get to town often enough to take part in swimming lessons. Being able to take them during school hours was a big bonus for them.”

Greg Trewin Independent Sales Representative for Pioneer® brand products Box 2 Waskada, MB R0M 2E0 (204) 522-5044 Tel greg.trewin@plantpioneer.com

Williams says that many of the students who completed lessons through the school continued on outside of school hours and eventually became lifeguards in Souris and in other communities. In fact the recreation department just completed the Bronze Cross and Bronze medallion lessons with eleven kids enrolled and nine of them were from Souris.

Learning the basics of swimming at a young age saves lives. While the number of deaths is down, tragically, hundreds of Canadians die each year in water-related fatalities. Drowning deaths in Canada happen most often in the summer months, with 34 per cent, or just over one-third, of all drownings from 2009 to 2013 happening in July and August, a report from the Lifesaving Society Canada states. Just over one-third of all drowning deaths from 2004 to 2013 happened in lakes or ponds.

There were 15 waterrelated fatalities in Manitoba in 2014 and nine in 2015. So far 2016 has seen a �ive-year-old girl visiting Churchill died after a canoe she was in capsized. On July 18, Travis Bauman, 17, was swimming in the dam, located southeast of Win-

kler, with his brother and another friend when he went under in the fastmoving waters and didn’t resurface. Divers later found his body. On August 2, an 11-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy drowned at Grand Beach.

A near death occurred involving a toddler in a pool at a resort near Clear Lake in early August. And it’s not just in Manitoba.

As of August 2, 65 people have died from drowning in Ontario alone, up 50 from 2015. The third week of July historically has the most drowning deaths Canada-wide every year, according to RCMP. Here is a list of tips for safety around water: On top of being sober and vigilant while you supervise your kids at play, the RCMP and Lifesaving Society maintain parents should: • Ensure you and your kids are �itted with the right personal �loatation device (PFD or life-jacket) based on body size and weight.

• Teach kids the risks involved with swimming and to always make sure an adult is watching them nearby.

• Swim only where it has been deemed safe to swim.

• Read the rules: For the most part, beaches have

them posted prominently near the water.

• Within arms’ reach: “The younger the child, the closer you have to be.”

• Contact popular swimming destinations ahead of time; ask about water conditions.

• Lead by example: follow the rules, boat and swim safely and only while sober.

• In the event someone is drowning or in distress, yell for help and try to �ind a rope or �loatation device to throw him or her. Call 911 if there aren’t any lifeguards

around.

• Unless you are a trained professional, never jump in after a drowning person. Untrained, wellintentioned people have died trying to save others from drowning, who often panic and can inadvertently pull their rescuer down with them.

• Backyard pools remain the area where kids under the age of �ive die most often in fatal drowning incidents, most of which are a result of a lack of proper supervision, the Lifesaving Society says.

The Benefits of Working with a Financial Advisor Submitted by: Edward Jones Investing isn’t easy. It can take time, research, patience and knowledge of financial markets. Fortunately, you can simplify the process and increase your chances of success by working with an investment professional.

Although some people enjoy investing on their own, the reality is that most of us can benefit from the services of a financial advisor. With professional help you can take much of the work out of investing and increase your potential for reaching financial goals.

The job of establishing, monitoring and maintaining your investment portfolio is easier and more effective when you have help. You’ll benefit from the skills and knowledge of a seasoned professional who is well-acquainted with your personal situation and objectives. And when you stick with one advisor who sees the “big picture” of your financial life, you get well-rounded help and advice from somebody who has a full grasp of your finances.

A good relationship with a financial advisor* will help you: Understand your financial needs: Your advisor will review and analyze the current state of your finances and investments.

Set goals: Establishing realistic financial goals is easier with professional help. No matter what your objectives-perhaps retirement, saving for a child’s education, buying

In addition to helping with savings and investments, an advisor can offer assistance in other areas of your financial life, including insurance, estate planning and business planning.

How will you know if you’re a candidate for professional help? Unless you have extensive knowledge of finance and investments and are willing to put a lot of work into managing your financial life, establishing a working relationship with an investment professional is always a good choice.

There’s nothing wrong with going it alone by using services such as discount investment brokers, but that route is best suited to those who enjoy managing their own affairs and have the time

and expertise to take on the job.

As an independent investor, you’ll have to dedicate time to researching the multitude of investments available through financial markets, put together your own portfolio, monitor your finances and investments, and perform a host of other tasks. Many of these require specialized knowledge.

Even if you’re a knowledgeable investor, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have the time or energy to spend on managing your investments.

Professional help puts much of the work on somebody else’s shoulders, while still letting you play an active role in managing investments.

Member Canadian Investor Protection Fund.

Have you ever wanted to try a

a house or reducing income taxes-it’s important that they be achievable.

Develop a financial plan: Once goals are in place, you and your advisor can develop a savings and investment plan to meet your long-term objectives. This includes a strategy for funneling more of your income into savings and investments.

Assess risk tolerance: An advisor can assist you in determining the level of risk you’re comfortable with, and show you

how to balance that risk with potential investment returns.

Establish a portfolio: With professional help you can choose investments for a balanced, diversified investment portfolio that reflects your goals and risk tolerance.

Save on taxes: Your advisor can show you how to structure a portfolio that takes advantage of tax breaks available for many types of investments. This includes both

your Registered Retirement Savings Plan and non-registered investments.

Review finances and investments: It’s important to regularly monitor the progress of your plan. An investment professional has the tools to measure the performance of your portfolio against your expectations and market conditions.

When adjustments are necessary, your advisor can suggest appropriate investments.

Moose Mountain Provincial Park rolls out ATV pilot project Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

A pilot project aimed at recreational all-terrain

main floor of the Chalet.

There, they will receive a map of an approved riding route, a pamphlet outlining the rules for riding in the park, and an acknowledgment form which they must sign in order to receive a 2016 Trail Permit at no charge.

Moose Mountain Provincial Park manager, Joan Adams says: “We are trying to get the word out about what the park has to offer, as well as ensuring responsible recreational riding within Moose Mountain Provincial Park.”

MMPP’s ATV trails were officially opened on July 15 by the province’s Minister of Parks, Culture and Sports, Mark Docherty, as part of capital projects aimed at enhancing visitor experience in the park.

The Saskatchewan government contributed $125,000 to the enhancement of the park’s ATV trails. This amount was matched by the National Trails Coalition, for a total investment of $250,000.

The ATV trails are located in MMPP’s back country and include some of the park’s existing snowmobile trails.

“It’s a 47 km ride,” says Adams. “ATVs have to be trailered to the unloading area, just west of Little Kenosee. The ride is a loop that starts on Centre Road as far west as the Bennett Lake Trail and south to the Horse Lake Trail. It’s clearly marked on the map we give riders when they stop in to the Visitors’ Centre for their permits.”

“Moose Mountain Provincial Park has been a designated ATV park for 10-plus years,” she adds. “And maybe we

Moose Mountain Provincial Park manager Joan Adams (pictured) says riding an allterrain vehicle (ATV) within the confines of Moose Mountain Provincial Park “is a privilege, not a right.” Adams says Moose Mountain Provincial Park’s recent pilot project (which continues through to Labour Day) is an attempt to balance the use of and enjoyment of the park by recreational ATV riders with protecting and preserving the park’s natural environment.

haven’t done a good job of getting the word out.

This pilot project is an opportunity to create educational awareness for recreational ATVers about what we’re offering here.”

Riding in a provincial park comes with responsibilities, says Adams.

“Moose Mountain Provincial Park is an anomaly.

It’s a forest, surrounded by prairie.”

“The acknowledgement form that riders sign in order to receive their permits outlines the rules and responsibilities associated with riding an all-terrain vehicle in Moose Mountain Provincial Park,” she adds. “Some of the rules are self-explanatory: having a valid driver’s license and the necessity of having third-party liability insurance to ride on Crown land and to be able to produce a copy of your insurance if a peace and/or enforcement officer asks to see it. And of course, children between the ages of 12 and 16 must be supervised by a person who has held a continuous and valid license for one year.”

‘We also ask that riders

wear personal protective equipment. This includes a helmet, eye protection, long pants long sleeves and boots.”

“But other rules are aimed at protecting the park and not all ATV riders may be aware of them,” says Adams. “Allterrain vehicles must be washed and clean prior to riding in the park. This is to avoid the spread of noxious weeds and/or invasive species. If someone has been riding outside the park and brings something into the park on their ATV, that can be a problem for us. We don’t want to have to be looking at eradication of something that is harmful to the park’s ecosystem.”

“Prevention is always best. Even if someone’s building a home here, the construction equipment has to be washed and cleaned before it’s brought into the park.”

“ATVs are only permitted on designated trails within the park and we ask that riders travel responsibly,” she adds.

“Stay on the hard-packed trail surface and go over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails.

And don’t ride if the trails are wet and muddy.

Weather conditions can change abruptly and the park reserves the right to close any and all trails without prior notice.”

“What we’re trying to do is promote a whole cultural shift in thinking,” says Adams. “We’re offering people a chance to access the back country in the park that would normally be inaccessible with a vehicle.”

“But we’re balancing that with the fact that responsible riding will help to ensure the future of recreational ATV use in the park, and to ensure the park is protected for the enjoyment of everyone.”

“It’s a privilege-not a right-to ride in Moose Mountain Provincial Park.”

For more information, call (306)-577-2615. The Moose Mountain Provincial Park Visitor Centre is located on the main floor of the Chalet and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m until Monday, September 5.

Tips to finding the right contractor Home improvement projects tend to be costly.

Because of the considerable �inancial investment homeowners must make when improving their homes, it’s important to �ind a contractor you can trust and feel comfortable with.

The vast majority of professional contractors are trustworthy and willing to work with homeowners to help them design the homes of their dreams. But there are still some tips homeowners can keep in mind as they begin their search for a contractor.

1. Work only with licensed contractors. Licensed contractors have been veri�ied as legitimate by your local governing body, removing much of the fears homeowners have with regard to �inding trustworthy contractors. Unlicensed contractors may not be insured or bonded, and their estimates may be lower than their licensed competitors because they do not contribute to unemployment. Licensed contractors often are subjected to criminal background checks as well, calming homeowners fears about inviting strangers into their homes.

2. Ask for recommendations. Word-of-mouth is great when looking for contractors. Oftentimes, a contractor’s best friends are his past clients. Ask friends or neighbors for recommendations on local contractors, inquiring about prices as well as each particular contractor’s demeanor and openness to suggestions.

Contact your local Of�ice of Consumer Affairs to check each contractor’s complaint history 3. Get written estimates. Before hiring a particular �irm, get written estimates from several contractors.

Some contractors will charge fees for the estimate, but they must inform you of those fees before the estimates are provided. Compare estimates so you can get a better grasp of how much your project will cost. While cost is important, try to avoid choosing a contractor based on cost alone, as a good rapport with a contractor who may be more expensive might make spending a little more money worth it.

4. Make sure the contract is speci�ic. When you choose a contractor, make sure the contract he or she provides is very speci�ic, going into great detail about

the speci�ics of the project. This contract should spell out the materials and equipment that will be used, as well as the �inal cost of the project, the payment schedules while the project is ongoing and the work schedule.

5. Keep track of all paperwork and pay by check.

Once you sign the contract, create a folder where you can store all paperwork. Scan each document so you can store them on your computer as well.

When payments must be made, never pay in cash.

Pay by check and do not pay for the entirety of the project upfront, opting instead to pay at predetermined intervals spelled out in your contract.

Nerves often come into play when hiring a home contractor, but homeowners who take a careful approach to the hiring process will likely end up hiring a trustworthy contractor who does great work.

Reap what you grow

By Dolores Caldwell Kristin Graham, along with her husband and three children Damien, Anastasia and Isabel of Sinclair have started a market garden in the area called GGs or Graham’s Gardens. “We have three gardens,” explained Graham. “One is 28x70’, 2nd is 30x46’, and the 3rd is 100x30’.”

Traditionally, working with a hoe refers to gardening while working with a plough refers to farming. Either way, the time invested equals long and strenuous hours.

Kristen said they would be open to the idea of grow-a-row for individuals but right now they have their hands full supplying people who signed up early March/ April for produce delivery. “They get weekly deliveries of vegetables,” said Graham.

“They also have first dibs to get the vegetables that are limited. And then the extras are open to anyone and we usually have lot of extras.”

The three gardens contain fresh lettuce, chard, radish, multipliers, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, garlic, dill, cucumbers, cucamelons, potatoes, Kristen and Isabel Graham.

sweet potatoes, beans, broad beans, kidney beans, borlotti beans, carrots, parsnips, kohlrabi, kale, zucchini, pumpkin, squash, spaghetti squash, edible peas, peas, corn, baby corn, asparagus, rhubarb, saskatoons, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, tiny tims, chile peppers, celery, beets, spinach, watermelon, cantaloupe.

Gardening fresh produce is a time sensitive endeavour. “Your baby veggies carrots/potatoes start in July. Radishes, multipliers, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, chard, asparagus, rhubarb, cabbage are all your first veggies ready to go around June and July,” stated Graham.

“You never know what kind of crop your going to get, each growing season is different; each garden is different. This year we got hail so that set everything back especially the cucumbers and beans. Peas are also a very short, quick season.”

“You can request any portion size,” said Graham. “If you had signed up in March/April you would be guaranteed your portion for certain vegetables, keeping in mind that Mother Nature

plays a huge roll in the outcome.”

“I have lots of little helpers, and some big ones too. My husband and I love gardening. My grandmother and mother also help,” said Graham.

“The weeding is all me though.”

The Grahams would like to expand in yearsto-come, they are just waiting to see the need from the community.

Kristin delivers to Reston, and delivers locally around Sinclair.

She is flexible, if there are enough orders, drop offs could be made further away too.

“We are always trying to grow new things and collecting seeds from everything, and we also buy from our local greenhouses.” “We hate to see anything go-to-waste. Last year we packed up our extra produce and took it to the church for their “growa-row’. I love gardening and I’m thankful for my customers who support our ever growing business.”

If you’re interested in some locally grown produce, contact Graham’s Garden at 204-662-4501 or find them on Facebook under Graham’s Gardens.

Grain Storage Considerations Lyndon Hicks, PAg Submitted

Grains may be stored for a long period of time but maintaining quality is dependent on the condition the grain was in when harvested and the storage facility being used. Generally speaking, grains binned at lower temperatures and moisture contents can be stored for longer periods of time before they begin to deteriorate. The occurrence of insects, molds and fungi will drastically reduce grain quality and these are all affected by grain moisture and temperature. With harvest upon us here are a few things to consider before storing your harvested grain.

Preparation: - Ensure that all machinery, augers, storage

facilities and aeration systems are thoroughly cleaned before adding new grain.

- Treating bins with diatomaceous earth or Malathion is recommended prior to adding new grain. This is not recommended for storing oilseeds or pulse crops.

- Reduce or remove vegetation within 10 meters of a storage site to decrease the number of rodents and insects living adjacent to the stored grain.

- Mixing newly harvested grains with old infested grain (i.e. high moisture content or insects) could potentially contaminate all new harvested crops.

During filling: - Consider aeration to bring stored grain temperature down to 10°C. Below this temperature,

reproduction and movement of most insects is reduced.

- If planning to store grain for long periods of time, consider adding a grain protectant such as diatomaceous earth or Malathion (only on registered crops) when filling bins.

After filling: - For grain stored above 10°C, inspect every two to three weeks for heating and insect activity. Use a grain probe to monitor the middle section of the stored grain, not just the edge.

- Consider top dressing a grain protectant to control surface feeder infestations.

- If insects become a problem, Phostoxin can be used. It must be applied by a licensed pesticide applicator with a fumigation license when

grain temperature is above 5°C. The following charts show safe storage for wheat and canola. Take

note to the relationship between moisture levels and temperature for each of the crops.

Safe storage charts for

all crops can be viewed at https://www.grainscanada.gc.ca/storageentrepose/ssg-de-eng. htm.

Risk of West Nile Virus Increasing in Sun Country Health Region - Protect Yourself!

Sun Country Health Region Submitted

The mosquito surveillance traps in southern Saskatchewan are indicating there are more of the Culex tarsalis mosquitoes that can spread West Nile Virus (WNV) and that some of these mosquitoes are now infected with West Nile Virus.

The �irst West Nile virus-positive mosquitoes in Sun Country Health Region were reported during the week of August 1, 2016.

With the risk of West Nile Virus infection increasing, residents of Sun Country Health Region are advised to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.

This will reduce their risk of a West Nile Virus infection.

“Enjoying the outdoors in August and early September? We expect the number of Culex tarsalis mosquitoes to increase as the summer progresses and this means your risk will increase too,” says Dr. Shauna Hudson. The mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus are most active at dawn and in the early evening especially immediately after sunset.

“Remember to take these precautions to make sure you don’t get bit by mosquitoes and become infected with West Nile Virus”: • Ensure that you wear a good insect repellant with DEET especially at

dusk and dawn. Be sure to follow the product directions.

• Get rid of places the Culex tarsalis mosquitoes hang out – they like tall grasses and weeded areas. Drain standing water around your yard.

• Wear light clothing, long sleeves, and long pants when the mosquitos that spread West Nile Virus are most active (dusk and dawn).

• For more information on West Nile Virus and actions to take to protect yourself and your family, check out these websites: • Saskatchewan Government website at: https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/ health/diseases-andconditions/west-nile-

Miniature field equipent Anne Davison VIRDEN EMPIRE-ADVANCE reporter1@empireadvance.ca

Gary Hall of Virden has turned old rusty back yard equipment into miniatures of the real thing - full sized Case and International field tractors of the 1960s and ‘70s. Grandsons Riley and Kaden Hall drove them down the streets of Oak Lake in the fair parade Saturday, July 23.

“I owned a 930 Case and my dad and I owned an international 660 Case,” said Hall, explaining his vision to make garden tractors look identical to the real thing. A bit of an inventor/tinkerer in his retirement, he has completed the task on two little tractors, even building a small cultivator and a miniature manure spreader to go along with them.

Hall said it only made

sense to make the yard machines identical to their big role models an idea which seemed unique and that’s why he did it. “No one else had ever done it, as far as I know,” said Hall.

The Case garden tractor came from Robert Alexander, of Lenore. The International yard machine came from Gerald hall, of Virden Radiator.

Hall used genuine Case IH paint on the deep mustard yellow tractor.

This International brand yard tractor became the remodeled red tractor.

Riley Hall is driving the International miniaturized tractor in Oak Lake Fair parade. The garden tractor was modified by his grandfather, Gary Hall, who also made the manure spreader, pulled behind. Photos/ Submitted
