The Virden Community Chamber of Commerce (VCCC) presents the RCMP Musical Ride, Thursday, July 14 at the Agricultural Society Fairgrounds. This will be their first time in Virden since 1978.

This event will bring in people from all across Westman and parts of Eastern Saskatchewan.

In a press release VCCC explained, “The Musical Ride is performed in each province once every four years, so we are truly honoured to have been chosen as one of the few locations

in Manitoba to host the ride this year.”

The RCMP Musical Ride started in 1876 by members of the NorthWest Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain the local community. This unique colourful Canadian tradition consists of 32 horses, and riders performing various cavalry drills choreographed to music – enjoyed by thousands of people each year.

Along with the Musical Ride there will also be other entertainment; inflatable bouncers for the kids, face-painting, live entertainment, souvenirs, 50/50 draw, and meet and greet with the

horses and riders following the show.

The special live entertainment for the evening is local artist Kendra Kay, 2015 MCMA Female Artist of the Year. “This is my first time doing a full band show in Virden. I have played by myself in Virden in the past, but I am looking forward to finally gettting to have the full band behind me for everyone to see,” Kay explained, “I am always excited to get to perform, but in front of a local crowd makes it even better! It’s a pretty special feeling to have your biggest supports, friends and family cheering you on and I can’t wait!”

Aviation Anniversary: Carlyle Flying Club invites community to celebrate 60 years Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

The Carlyle Flying Club is celebrating 60 years of aviation in the area and they’re inviting the community to join them for a day of �lying, fun and food.

Both the Carlyle Flying Club-and the Carlyle Airport-soon to be of�icially renamed the E.J. (Ted Brady) Regional Airport- are celebrating six decades.

“We have a lot planned,” says airport manager and Carlyle Flying Club member, Duncan Brown.

“We’ll have aircraft �lying in throughout the day, and aerobatic performer Brent Handy is booked to perform. He’s an ex-Snowbird and is now an instructor at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Moose Jaw. He’ll �ly and then he’ll be around after his show to talk with people. We’ll also be selling raf�le tickets for a chance to win one of two plane rides with him.”

“We’ve also requested two modern training planes from CFB Moose Jaw to do a �ly-by. After the pilots do the �ly-by, they’ll land and display their airplanes, so people can get a

Longtime Carlyle Flying Club member and airport manager Duncan Brown is pictured here at the helm of his Cessna Cardinal. Brown-who has written a brief history-chronicling Carlyle Airport’s 60 years, says the airport brings numerous social and economic benefits to the area-including serving as a place where medivac planes and firefighting aircraft can land and refuel as well as corporate and private aircraft patronizing area businesses.

view of the aircraft closeup.”

“Three vintage World War II training aircraft will also �ly in from Brandon for our anniversary day, too,” adds Brown. “Brandon was one of the training bases during the Second World War and these aircraft-from the British Commonwealth Air Training Programme-were used to train Allied pilots from throughout the Commonwealth in Canada.

These planes were painted bright yellow and the three vintage aircraft that will be coming to Carlyle that day are a Harvard, a Cornell and a Stinson.”

“We’ve also invited a parachutist from Moose Jaw and we’ll have short take-off and landing performances by some of our local guys, as well as a skydiving performance. Sask Air Ambulance will also be there, displaying one of their Medivac planes.”

“Weather permitting, we’ll also be offering tethered hot-air balloon rides on-site, courtesy of SIGA,” adds Carlyle Flying Club President, Brad Walker.

“There will also be an automobile Show ‘n’ Shine next door at Carlyle Motor Products and for young families who attend, One Church will be bringing a few of their bouncers.”

“Instead of our Fly-In Breakfast, we’ll be hosting a Fly-In Lunch, with pork on a bun and salads. That will be served from 11:30 to 2:30 p.m.,” says Brown.

“The Moose Mountain Air Cadets will be helping us out with that and proceeds from the lunch will help to bene�it their program and also, airport improvements.”

“In addition to the

planes that are �lying in for performances, local pilots and pilots from other areas will be �lying in for the day,” says Walker. “At our Fly-In Breakfast, our club usually give members of the public airplane rides. This year-because there will be so much going on at our anniversary celebrations-we’ll take bookings from people that day-Saturday, June 25-for rides the next day-Sunday, June 26.”

Brown-who has written

a brief history of the Carlyle Flying Club says: “We hope some of the remaining founding members are able to be in attendance that day.”

Brown writes: “The Carlyle Flying Club was founded in 1956 and the founding members were: Jack Mills, Ed Stockton, Russell Stockton, Jack Marshall, Les Hewitt, Harold Brown, Howard Humphries, Vern Clubb, Billy Mills, Alec Dodds and Bill Ramsey.”

Sarah Blelloch from Virden was part of a group of medical students who spent three weeks serving in public health and education in Belize; (l-r) Paige Isabey (Hartney), Sarah Blelloch (Virden) Elise Crocker (Winnipeg), Alissa Loader (Brandon).

“It’s a lovely country, but the healthcare system is under staffed and underfunded,” explains Sarah Blelloch after her trip to the nation of Belize. In this beautiful tropical country, tourism plays a strong role. Food production, particularly fruit and vegetables is another piece of the economy.

Blelloch, amedical student from Virden was in her �inal term at the

University of Manitoba when she travelled with a group of female medical students, to Belize.

For three weeks in February, these Canadians visited schools and gave free health exams to women and children.

Blelloch said this was a real opportunity to help people. In San Pedro, an island city, they saw “a lot of things that should be treated at a young age, but were not, such as asthma, rashes ... a lot of things you take for granted [in Canada].”

The majority of this

medical team’s work was health education, and was open to the public.

They set up booths for diabetes, did free blood pressure clinics and encouraged people to see their family doctor if they needed to.

“Blood pressure is a really big thing there,” said Blelloch, noting that many patients, even at age 50 or 60 had never had their blood pressure tested. Some of the patients they tested required emergency measures for their blood pressure.

Citizen scientists wanted Sitting quietly outside at night, you may notice motion in the beams of a street light or yard light.

Bats work the nightshift devouring insects, including mosquitoes that can carry West Nile or encephalomyelitis (sleeping sickness) virus.

“All bats in Canada consume insects. They are the number one consumer of night �lying insects and therefore very important for agriculture and forestry,” explains Kaleigh Norquay, research coordinator for the University of Winnipeg.

Researchers say a colony of 150 big brown bats could easily consume 38,000 cucumber beetles, in one summer (among other bugs they eat).

Those cucumber beetles would have produced 18 million corn rootworms, which would have destroyed 10 to 13 percent of the total corn produced.

The university is participating in a program known as Neighbourhood Bat Watch.

Populations in eastern

Canada and the US and are threatened by white-nose syndrome, a fungus that kills more than a million bats each year, according to experts.

White nose syndrome has not yet reached epidemic proportions in Manitoba. A recent report tracked the fungus in its move westward, occurring near Thunder Bay. Bat Watch wants to hear about the location of bat colonies and the number of bats living in them. This information will help in

bat conservation.

Citizen scientists can participate in research on these interesting and elusive mammals.

“There are de�initely bat houses in southwestern Manitoba. So far, we only know of a handful,” says Norquay. “We have done work both to the north (Riding Mountain Provincial Park) and fur ther south (near Turtle Mountain).” Information is available on the Neighbourhood Bat Watch website.

These musicians are sure to provide an electrifying performance �illed with great harmony, ripping solos and an energetic live show.

The Middle Coast is the second act. Dylan McDonald, Roman Clarke and Liam Duncan have logged over 700 hours in a van, traveled over 70,000 kms and played 150 shows! Recently the guys are gearing up for the release of their debut record – a nine-song album produced by Canadian indie music legends Howard Redekopp and Don Benedictson. The idea behind the album was simple: catchy songs with classic melodies, thick harmonies and

grooves that guarantee some feverish head-bobbing.

The Middle Coast has been a touring band since its inception. They present a well-crafted show with great energy, top-notch musicianship that �lows effortlessly from one song to another.

Due to their streamlined focus to the music industry, The Middle Coast has landed alongside many of their idols at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Harvest Moon Festival and Canadian Music Week. Hit Boss Band is the third band featured.

They are a high-energy Winnipeg event dance band with an extensive song list that will keep your dance �loor hopping non-stop all night. As

the name suggests, you can expect a night of the hottest dance hits, new and old, pulled from an extensive list of over 500 songs.

Hit Boss was selected to rock the 2015 Grey Cup fest lighting up the Edmonton Eskimos; famous breakfast party.

They were the house band for McPhillips Station Casino’s Upperdeck Lounge, for over a year during 2014-15.

Whole Lotta Angus is a rock band based out of Winnipeg. They have been performing throughout Western Canada for over a decade and are regarded as one of the best AC/DC tribute bands around. It’s sure to be a rockin’ good time!

The gates open at 3:00

p.m. to 2:00 a.m. with the bands starting at 6:00 p.m. There will be games in the beer garden throughout the evening, including Bubble Soccer — teams of �ive can enter for $10.00. The concert also features a �ireworks show at 11:00 p.m.

Tickets are $40 and are available at the Municipality of DeloraineWinchester of�ice (7472572), Boundary Co-op or Liza Park (747-3668) or liza@delowin.ca There will be some seating available, but it is advised to bring your own lawn chair.

Lauder prepares for 125th anniversary Bonnie Clarke Submitted

Lauder community has been hard at work in recent days, preparing for its 125th year celebration, being held the weekend of July 9 and 10, 2016.

As work and preparations are ongoing many folks lament that this could very well the last such reunion oft his na-

ture, owing to the declining, aged community members. This being said, the enthusiasm and efforts are most keen to get Lauder ”groomed” to mark another memorable occasion — the last one was held in July 2001.

Events planned thus far; a play area for children, a Treasure Hunt, a Bouncy structure, volleyball and face painting

It’s been 15 years since the community of Lauder celebrated its 110th anniversary. They are hosting another reunion July 9 and 10 in celebrations of its 125th!

till midnight. Sunday breakfast will be available from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.

An outdoor church service will commence at12 noon, followed by birthday cake being served, to commemorate

Lauder’s 125th birthday.

We extend a huge, warm, welcome to all former Lauder residents as well as anyone else interested in helping Lauder celebrate this milestone. If you are considering supper and

or breakfast, we strongly urge that you call one of the following with your reservation: Karen Atkinson at 204-8582117, Bonnie Clarke at 858-2013 or Donna Drummond 858-2282 no later than June 20.

The community of Lauder are preparing for its 125th anniversary celebration on July 9 and 10. Work bees have been taking place to get Lauder “groomed” for the event.

Bat protection Continued from page 5 Manitoba is apparently home to six species of bats.

Bob Young, a bat researcher from Calgary Zoo, started Bat Conservation Society of Canada, which is now defunct, but web page information is still avail-

able and Young still monitors the website.

In an email interview, Young shared a few interesting facts about bats.

“Perhaps one of the most interesting facts that I like to share with people is that there are more bats around

their home (wherever they live in Canada) than there are birds - yet we rarely see them.”

This enthusiast says bats make great neighbours.

“And if you are fortunate enough to have them move into a bat house, you

can use their feces (called guano) as fertilizer for you indoor plants. Free!”

Bats eat all kinds of insects, not necessarily mosquitoes. Young says, “The good news is that if you are attracting bugs, and bats are nearby, they will �ly above you and eat the bugs. Don’t worry - they are not the least bit interested in you and will not touch you.”

Bat pups are born in spring and lactating

Bat facts

mothers will consume their weight in insects per night.

“That would amount to 600 mosquito-size insects per hour. Or in other terms, it would be similar to a 200 pound man consuming 800 quarter pound hamburgers per day.”

Bat houses are an important way to assist the bat population.

A Canadian company out of Thunder Bay makes these specialized bat apartments.

Rural Manitoba Serves New Summer Delights For Visitors Vern May Submitted

Rural communities on the Canadian prairies don’t often �ind themselves at the top of the list when a discussion arises about the “must visit” tourist destinations across the country. Aside from the annual country fair, many may not realize what awaits them in Manitoba. It may be time to take a fresh look in 2016.

Described by visitors from other areas of the Province as “a hidden gem”, western Manitoba communities are opening their minds to new attractions which take full advantage of their area’s distinct geography and facilities to spur a renewed interest in visitation to our farming towns.

Get Out On the Water Manitoba is typically characterized for our wide open �ields and rich agricultural heritage.

However, the keystone Province is also home to some of the �inest lakes and beaches anywhere and play host to events that encourage people to

get out onto the lakes and rivers to experience water recreation �irst hand. In Ninette, the Pelican Yacht Club will host three regattas this summer between July 23 and September 3 which are open to sailors of all skill levels. A different kind of boat will be featured in Minnedosa on September 17 when the community plays host to the Westman Dragonboat Association’s �irst festival and race day, welcoming both recreational and competitive teams from across the Province and beyond to experience the lake that has been described as Manitoba’s best rowing and paddling venue.

Those Marvelous Machines It’s quite a sight when all of Manitoba’s automobile enthusiasts choose to get together and display their restoration projects that showcase some of the world’s �inest classic cars. With a growing number of active car clubs and participants, chances are that you’ll have the chance to see some of these engineering marvels up close such as at Brandon

Cruise Nights, as well as in Glenboro for their �ifth annual family day and car show or Deloraine’s Cruisin’ for Cash event.

The Southwest Classic Car Association has a number of events scheduled for Crescent Avenue overlooking the picturesque Victoria Park in Souris throughout the summer as well.

For the Love of Music Western Manitoba is quickly becoming a hotbed of live musical entertainment and concerts. Both country and rock acts have become a regular �ixture on the entertainment calendar for rural communities including such artists as Tom Cochrane, Beverly Mahood, Doc Walker, Chad Brownlee and more. This summer will include two feature music festivals in Westman starting with Delodaze on June 25 in Deloraine. This bi-annual, one day music festival will be headlined by AC/ DC tribute band, “Whole Lotta Angus” and complimented by a slate of Manitoba acts to delight audiences. During the summer long weekend,

July 29-31, Rockin’ the Fields of Minnedosa presents its 13th annual festival with an all-Canadian line up. Headliners Our Lady Peace will be joined by 54/40, Sloan and Kenny Shields & Streetheart and others for a three day, twostage marathon of lakeside music and revelry.

For The Adventurous Traveler While the summer schedule offers a lot of opportunities to attend and enjoy the festivities as a spectator, some travelers are seeking an opportu-

nity to get active and make memories through participation. This summer, two events are being introduced to whet these appetites. Hamiota Collegiate is hosting a Colour Run in June, with proceeds to be donated to Brandon’s Port in the Storm. A larger scale run. The Valley Fun Colour Run has been planned collaboratively by a partnership of service organizations in Minnedosa and is expected to see 500 runners on August 13 along the eastern shores of Minnedosa Lake.

Building on a Strong Foundation When you add the compelling hook of the summer’s event schedule to an already bountiful harvest of golf courses, museums, roadside spectacles and designated star attractions, it’s certain that travelers will be considering Manitoba as a vacation destination this summer.

Further information can be found through various community websites as well as through the regional tourism association at www.tourismwestman.ca

Experience White Island Sara Curtis Submitted

Just off the coast of Whakatane, in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand, lies White Island.

It is one of the world’s most accessible live volcanoes and visitors to Whakatane can join the White Island Tours crew aboard the luxury cruiser ‘PeeJay’ for a �ive to six

hour adventure to explore New Zealand’s only active marine volcano.

With the majority of the volcano sitting beneath the sea it is possible to disembark directly into the crater complex – no mountain climbing required, but good shoes are a requirement.

One thing tourists notice upon returning from White Island is the smell

- the sulphur permeates clothing and sometimes footwear is a little worse the wear due to the corrosive nature of the environment on the island.

Being a live volcano there is little doubt that White Island is home to New Zealand’s most impressive geothermal activity. Visitors are able to get up close to roaring steam vents, bubbling

pits of mud, hot volcanic streams and the amazing lake of steaming acid. The vivid hues of yellow and orange resulting from the abundant sulphur on the island make it a photographer’s dream.

Experienced guides will lead you on a one to one-and-a-half hour exploration of the inner crater, providing a fascinating commentary on the geology of the island as well as stories of attempts to mine sulphur.

Along with volcanic and geothermal features, visitors will see the remains of the sulphur factory which have survived

multiple eruptions since being abandoned in the 1930s. And just so you look good in photos, everyone wears a bright yellow hard and carries a gas mask supplied by the tour company.

White Island is often described as a once in a lifetime trip and the highlight of a holiday spent in New Zealand!

Experience roaring fumaroles, amazing colours and the sense of awe you get by stepping foot onto a live volcano!

Whakaari is the island’s Maori name is an active andesite stratovolcano. It is New Zealand’s

most active cone volcano, and has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 150,000 years. White Island has been in a nearly continuous stage of smoking since it was discovered by James Cook in 1769.

Locals keep a weather eye on White Island, checking to see if it is “smoking” on an almost daily basis. Upon returning home to Whakatane, it is one of the �irst things I check when looking out over the Paci�ic Ocean what’s White Island doing today?

Useful tech gadgets for a successful road trip Are you going on a road trip this summer? There are lots of great tools out there to help you organize your vacation and make it as enjoyable as possible.

A GPS is a must The GPS has become a must for drivers who are going into unfamiliar territory. However, before you set off, update your device. You won’t be very happy if it di-rects you to a turnoff that no

longer exists. Program the different stages of your journey in advance to ensure that the GPS recognizes the addresses.

If it doesn’t, which sometimes happens in remote areas, you can then print a map or the directions provided by the establishment you want to visit.

Practical apps Many practical apps are now available on

the market. Use them to �ind the cheapest gas station, the best hotel with available rooms, your car in a crowded parking lot or nearby restaurants. Apps can also help you avoid traf�ic jams or discover points of interest along your route.

Download them before you leave home.

Fun for the ride Are your passengers lucky enough to have

Experience White Island

a DVD player at their disposal? Take along a selection of movies that will keep everyone happy. Electronic games can also help pass the time and keep kids from bickering when the road seems endless. Lastly, what would a road trip be without music? Prepare a few playlists that will set the tone for your vacation.

Have a great road trip!

Make sure your GPS is up to date before leaving home; you don’t want to end up in a field somewhere.

What Can Golf Teach You About Retirement Planning?

If you’re a golfer, you know the joys (and occasional frustrations) of the game. But you might not realize that some of the lessons you learn on the links can carry over to other areas of your life – such as retirement planning.

So whether you’re already retired or are planning to retire in the next few years, consider the following suggestions: • Try to overcome the “yips.” When you miss those short puts – the ones you know you should be making – you might be in the grip of your old friend, the “yips.” As you know, it’s not always easy to shake this problem, but many golfers have benefited by working to improve their concentration, especially by adhering to a strict pre-shot and in-shot stepby-step routine. When investing for retirement, or managing their portfolios during retirement, many people can get the investment version of the yips – that is, they get nervous during market downturns, and then they make mistakes, such as selling quality investments when their price has dropped. (Remember the first rule of investing: Buy low and sell

high.) To overcome this type of yips, the solution is the same as for golf: Maintain your focus and concentrate on making appropriate moves, such as building and maintaining a diversified portfolio that’s suitable for your needs, goals and risk tolerance.

• Forget about that hole-in-one. It’s every golfer’s dream: a holein-one. When you tee up on that tempting par 3, and you’re feeling good, you might just want to go for it – but when you do, you could end up overshooting the green or plunking into the water.

Many investors also try for a “hole-in-one,” in the form of pursuing that one “hot” stock that’s going to make them rich. However, by the time they hear about such a stock (if it even exists), it may have already cooled off – and, in any case, it might not be right for their needs.

Instead of looking for that ultimate, one-time winner, look for solid investments that you’d be comfortable holding for the long term.

• Study the course. The more you know about a course you’re going to play, the better off you will be. You can plan the approaches you’ll take on www.edwardjones.com

WEALTH MANAGEMENT

various holes and think about how to avoid the sand, water and rough.

When planning for your retirement, or even when you’re living it, you also need a strategy, one that addresses questions such as these: How can I structure my investment mix to provide me with a long-term income stream? How much should I withdraw from

my portfolio each year?

Am I doing all I can to control investment-related taxes?

• Visualize. Consider these words from World Golf Hall of Famer Nick Faldo: “Visualization is the most powerful thing we have.” If you can visualize what you want to do on each hole you play, you are well on your way toward a success-

So, there you have them – some ideas that play well on the golf course and in the retirement arena. Put them to work soon.

Meet Our Agronomy Team

Q: What does CCA stand for?

A: Certified Crop Advisor. To become certified, one must pass an international and prairie specific exam, meet specific experience requirements, and earn 40 hours of continuing education every two years. It is the benchmark of professionalism.

Q: What is the P. Ag designation?

A: Legally in Manitoba, only members of the Manitoba Institute of Agrologists can call themselves agrologists and practice as such. One must complete the MIA Jurisprudence and Ethics seminar, and yearly complete 20 professional development credits, be professionally engaged by attending the MIA AGM, and participate in the certifi cation and mentorship process.

Syd Robbins (Manager Ag/Chem) grew up in Killarney, Manitoba as a town kid, but has always been a

farm kid at heart. He later spent some time in Winnipeg, where he fi rst completed his Agriculture diploma and then later his Bachelor of Science at the University of Manitoba. Syd has had his P. Ag. for 30 years and his CCA for 8.

What’s the best part of his job? “The combine ride with customers at the end of the season after a good crop.” (l-r) Araelya George, Joel Boulton, Syd Robbins, Ryan Elliott, Lane Wanless

Lane Wanless (Co-Manager) graduated high school from Glenboro, Manitoba and entered the agricultural work force shortly after, working for Fotheringham Farms at Reston, MB. After fi ve years, he decided to shift his focus to the crop inputs business, but he has continued his hands on experience. In total, Lane has been in the ag industry for 18 years. He has maintained CCA status since 2001 and says it’s a combination of the people and the experience that keeps him inspired, “the everchanging agriculture industry is pretty neat; what you do today and what you do tomorrow are always different.”

Ryan Elliott (Sales Agronomist) attended the University of Saskatchewan after growing up on a cattle and grain farm near Pipestone, Manitoba. He left Saskatoon with an agronomy degree and an agribusiness minor plus the status of Agrologist in Training under the P. Ag. program. He achieved his CCA in May of 2015 and is in his fourth year at a crop inputs retail. Ryan is actively involved on his family farm and says the best part about sales agronomy is, “helping customers to increase their target yields and then being able to watch them grow crops that reach or surpass their targets.”

Araelya George (Sales Agronomist) is Virden-area born and raised, being involved in her family grain and cattle farm at a very young age. She completed her agronomy degree at the University of Manitoba in 2011 along with Agrologist in Training status under the P. Ag. program. She has experience with custom spraying and fl oating as well as sales experience with a chemical/ seed company. Araelya continues to farm (grain only) and brings practical, successful experience with her to the Redferns team. “I love that the learning curve never slows down and the retailcustomer relationship goes both ways with each side bringing knowledge/experience to the table.”

Joel Boulton (Facility and Agronomy Assistant) is our newest addition to the Redferns staff. He grew up in Reston, Manitoba but moved to Brandon after high school to complete

his Agribusiness Diploma at ACC. This is Joel’s third season at a retail location and to him its, “all about getting to know each customer and their unique operation, everyone is different.”

Here at Redfern Farm Services, we have an amazing, well-rounded group of people who are your best choice when it comes to quality products and recommendations for your farming operation.

Meet our Admin Team

Kristy Casson (Office Administrator) joined the Redferns team earlier this spring. This is her first season in the ag industry, but she brings experience from her family’s trucking business as well as a few local businesses. Kristy grew up all over the prairies including Virden, Brandon, and Moose Jaw. She has enjoyed the career change, specifically liking the fast paced environment and variety of the job along with customers and Redferns team members. If you call our office, you will get to chat with Kristy and find that her bubbly personality is contagious. “As admin, I am often the first impression that people have of Redferns, so it is important for me to do tasks to the best of my ability.”

Deanna Campion (Seasonal Administration Assistant) grew up on a farm near Pipestone and joins us for the summer season. She brings practical experience/knowledge and handles the custom application admin tasks, along with anything else thrown her way. This is her second season in the crop inputs business. Currently, she is enrolled at Brandon University to become a physical education teacher. Deanna is enjoying the fun and productive workplace atmosphere, while continuing to stay involved in agriculture. “This allows me to stay involved in agriculture, while pursuing other opportuniti es; regardless of where I end up, the farm is always home.”

(l-r) Rea Johnson, Ray Charles, Deanna Campion, Kristy Casson

Meet our Operations Chief

Rea Johnson (Operations Supervisor) joined us this winter, but it is actually his second go-round with Redfern Farm Services. Rea grew up between Northern Ireland and Scotland on a dairy farm.

After immigrating to Canada in 1998, he had a grain and beef farming operation near Minnedosa. In 2005 he joined the Redferns team at Minnedosa as a custom applicator and later manager. Life took him back to Scotland from 2008 until 2012, when he then came back to Canada and the crop inputs industry. Rea enjoys meeting new people and providing top notch service to customers. “I like the family run business model that Redferns has, as well as their high standing within the ag industry.”

Meet our Fuel & Lube Expert Ray Charles (Branch Manager) was born in Pipestone and raised at Bellview. He first joined the fuel and oil industry in 1974 with Gulf Canada and later moved to the Shell bulk agency in 1983. In 1993 he moved to this site with Danny Cosgrove and Imperial Oil in an operations position. He stayed as the site transitioned to Redfern Farm Services and worked his way up to branch manager. Ray says that the position of manager was never on his list, but anyone who has dealt with him can see it was a natural progression given his knowledge and experience. He is our resident fuel, lubricants, oil and grease specialist and stands behind our premium Mobil brand. Over the years, Ray says the best part of the job is the people, “the customers and co-workers are what it’s all about.”

Fire Department Rodeo

The Town of Alameda & R.M. of Moose Creek #33 Fire Department Rodeo was held Sunday, June 5 in Alameda. The event featured teams of volunteer ďŹ re ďŹ ghters from Alameda, Bienfait, Carlyle, Carndu, Manor, Redvers and Stoughton.

The Alameda FireďŹ ghters Rodeo featured seven events-gearing up, a gear up obstacle course, a ball competition, a bucket brigade, a gear up and hose lay, a pack up and victim rescue and a pack up and hose event.

FireďŹ ghters from throughout the area were timed and graded on their skills which replicated real life conditions. Gearing up meant that the volunteers were timed on their ability to put on their protective equipment and oxygen tanks, something they did numerous times throughout the day in the hot sun. “There are lots of calls that come in and with all of them, time is one of the most important factors,â€? says organizer Dwayne Henderson. “The sooner we can get to a scene the better, but every ďŹ reďŹ ghter has got to be prepared.â€?

One girl, one horse, one country

By Terrie Welwood Life is short and you don’t want to spend it on the couch. Get out there and do something you’ve always wanted to do. Take a risk and do something memorable – Katelyn Stromgen.

A little bit over a year ago, Katelyn Stromgren, then 21, loaded up her horse, a mixed breed chestnut gelding named Whiskey with a little light camping gear, a collapsible bucket for water and a bit of grain.

And they took off from Mirabel, Quebec, a town just west of Montreal.

With dreams of a big city life, Katelyn had moved to Montreal. But that, the Kelowna girl decided was not for her. Neither was Mirabel.

Thirsting for adventure, Katelyn was heading home to Kelowna, B.C on horseback. The first part of her journey took her into Manitoba where, with the onslaught of prairie winter and a horse recovering from a skin infection, she called off her plans.

For awhile.

At the end of May, she returned to Fannystelle, Manitoba where Whiskey had been stabled for the winter. Reunited, the pair took off on the second leg

of her journey.

Last Saturday afternoon, Katelyn and Whiskey made there way though Redvers. In fact, they had just ridden across the provincial border that morning but had been touring around small town Saskatchewan toured by Chelsea Poirier whose family had played host to the pair for the last couple of nights at their home near Sinclair.

“We got a call from a friend in Souris who had hosted Katelyn asking if we could put her up while she was in this area,” Glenda Poirier explained.

She and her husband Gilbert gladly agreed which led to a two night stay, part of which is documented on Katelyn Facebook site and blog entitled One girl, one horse, one country.

“She’s about the same age as our daughter Chelsea so they took off on a tour of the country, going up to Maryfield to the tea house and all around the area.

For Katelyn and her 16 year old horse, that’s the way the journey has panned out. All along there’s been offers of food and shelter for both herself and Whiskey. As they stop in small little towns along the way, most of-

ten the good Samaritans who offered up lodging will have called ahead to friends they know along the way.

And sometimes, she says those kind souls are just people she meets along the way.

Now, in the second leg of her cross country journey, what is she doing differently from the first time around?

There are practical things like a different packing system, she said in an interview outside the Log Cabin last Saturday.

And this time, thanks to lesson taught by a few two many sunburns, she’s remembered to pack the sunscreen.

“Most of all, I think what is different this time is that I’m not stressing about time,” she said. “One the first leg of our journey I was always wanting to make so many kilometers per day and keep to schedule.”

And that, she said proved to be exhausting for both her and the horse she rescued at just fourteen years old.

“We’re on this grand adventure to enjoy things, to enjoy Canada and it’s wonderful people. So this time, I’m doing much more of that by not put-

ting demands on myself by making time an issue.”

According to her blog and her Facebook account, which she uses to contact people along the way, she arrived in Saskatchewan on Day 14 of her trek.

“After my breakfast and chat, I got off to a relatively late start. I didn’t spend much time stressing about leaving early as in addition to having a short ride, I had a time change working in my favour,” her

blog states.

The day to day account of her travels tells stories in her conversational style of the people she’s met along the way.

“I’ve seen that Canadians really are wonderful people,” she said during her visit to Redvers.

The same sentiment is shown in her blog entries.

There’s stories of strained and fly bitten ankles, of horse shoes and the occasional horse

tantrum too.

From here, Katelyn and Whiskey headed to Manor where Whisky enjoyed a night rolling in the corrals, as good gelding do.

With miles and miles to go toward their hoped arrival in Kelowna this fall, their story, of course, doesn’t end there.

For more on their story after the ‘Redvers chapter’, visit their Facebook site at one girl, one horse, one country.
