Southwest crop report Aug. 18

Serving the Rivers, Rapid City and Oak River areas for 109 years

March 30, 2018

Report by Manitoba Agriculture

Unsettled weather continued in the Southwest.

There are reports of a tor nado t hat touched down near the village of Alexander, but no reports of any loss. Wind damage to crops as lodging is visible in some fields.

Ca nol a , wheat a nd other crops are suffering with minor lodging, especially in the pathways of these storms. Rain amount is variable and widespread. Almost the whole region got some kind of moisture. The majority of producers welcome rain now as some crops have started to show signs of heat stress.

Southern areas received more rain as compared to areas in the north of t he Tr a nsCa nad a.

Wawanesa got 47mm, Sinclair 40mm, and Shilo area got 58mm over the last week.

O t her pa r t s of t he reg ion received 10 to 30mm. Rain is very beneficial for longer season crops like soybean, corn and sunf lower, but canola is benefitting as rain aids the ripening process.

Cereals and peas need hot and dry weather at this stage as harvest begins in earnest.

Winter wheat harvest is continues, while fall rye harvest is done. Yields are var iable, rang ing from 70 to 80 bu/ac with good quality. Canola is progressing well, later seeded or re-seeded crops fnished f lowering, with a few exceptions due to high moisture conditions or very late seeding.

Don’t let casual sloppiness come back to bite us

ome news out of Australia shows that regular f lu deaths have dropped dramatically this year.

Right now is Australian winter, if you can actually call what Australia has as a winter season. Nevertheless, it is f lu season in that part of the world. The drop in regular f lu deaths is being attributed to all the extra measures that have been taken to combat COVID-19.

These measure have become well known to Canadians, such as avoiding crowds, wearing masks when it makes sense to do so, covering your cough, regular hand washing, staying home if you are sick, all the things we have heard about and have been practising.

It is now obvious that we can and should practise better hygiene and thereby cut down on a lot of infectious diseases other than COVID-19.

I chuckle when I see that list of things to do, as many of these practises have been preached for 100 years or more and I think we, as a society, got sloppy.

That casual sloppiness came around and bit us. Plain and simple.

There are other things we can do to avoid getting sick and they start long before we get sick. Eat well (I have no problem with that one, for sure), drink

lots of f luids, make sure you take your vitamins, see a doctor regularly to make sure you are healthy. Vitamin levels are essential to staying well. All these are background issues and then you make sure you do the common sense stuff, like covering your cough and hand washing.

Where the government and sporting organizations are going off the rails is on some common sense issues. They know, or should know, that “maybe” C-19 might be delayed if everything was shut down. But “delayed” is the key word. Remember the whole idea of “f lattening the curve”. In Manitoba, we not only f lattened the curve, we pretty much crushed it.

Protecting the vulnerable is key, but as for the rest of the population, we will likely get COVID and we will likely survive it, if we haven’t already.

Many won’t even know if they have it or not. Eventually, in spite of all we do or try to do, C-19 will go through the population and immunity will build up.

There’s bad news in all this. Another virus will come along, they always do.

Some of the things governments and organizations are going through are almost nonsense. I think trying

Est. 1908

STAFF

Ken Waddell to mandate masks on school students is doomed to failure, but I could be wrong. Sports organizations are trying very hard to help with this situation, but here’s an analogy. Fighting to avoid or delay COVID-19 is a good thing, but what some people want to do is like sitting down to a game of chess.

In the middle of the game, a spider lands on the chess board. The way some people are reacting to C-19, they would take a sledge hammer to squash the spider. The board is smashed and the chess pieces go f lying all over the room. Wouldn’t it be simpler to grab a Kleenex and simply pick the spider off the board and f lush it down the toilet?

Kids have to get back to school. If parents feel strongly that they want to home school, I think that is good too.

We need to have hockey, football, soc-

cer, music and all these other things to get life back to normal. And yes, some people are going to die. But understand this, far more people have died from f lu, other diseases, cancer, heart disease, delayed surgeries, traffic accidents and sadly, suicide, in Manitoba since March 1, 2020, than from C-19. Thirty people die every day in Manitoba and we have lost 12 total to COVID-19.

It’s time to do two things. One, take all the reasonable precautions and two, get on with life.

Tornado safety

t has been brought to my attention that there seems to be a lack of concern for one’s safety these days following the recent, severe weather activities. With three tornadoes in the past few months in south western Manitoba, people need to give their heads a shake. I have seen many posts from those groups who have made it their profession to report on and record these severe storms. That is all well and good, those people have prepared themselves for such a line of work with proper equipment and knowledge. What I have seen and heard in the past few weeks though has been mildly disconcerting.

People, sometimes even with children on board, are going out during these phenomenon to “see the tornado” as if it was some magnificent spectacle that didn’t posses enough power to uproot them and throw them miles away. These are average everyday people with small light cars and just the camera on their cell phone, people who are not making money off their decision to go chase natural disasters.

Tornadoes are not to be trif led with. The windspeed and unpredictability makes it incredibly hard to avoid. The sheer power of a tornado, should you get caught up in it, is enough to f lip most vehicles.

The best way to avoid injury in such an incident is to avoid going near it and get to your basement. If you do not have a basement, take the mattress off

RiveRs BanneR

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

of your bed and go hide in the bathtub, placing the mattress over top of you. Should you not have a bath tub, then take your mattress and find the sturdiest interior wall in your home and hide behind the mattress against the wall. If you are unfortunate enough to get caught outside and away from a strong structure and not in a vehicle, find the lowest point where you can lay face down with your hands over your head away from debris or anything that could be a f lying hazard. If in a vehicle, it is debated whether or

not you should stay inside it. If you chose to remain in the vehicle, drive it into a ditch (once again the lowest point) preferably nosing up to an approach of some kind.

Despite all of that, this is not a ref lection on the tragedy that occurred near Virden, I do not know the circumstances that brought those two kids into the area and as such I am not passing judgement on them. My condolences to the families of those kids.

s a farmer’s daughter, as a farmer’s wife, the reality of “next year” is just that, a reality! My fields are now a back yard garden, a side yard garden and a front yard garden. The lessons continue and the promise of next year is one I hold dear!

For the first time ever, I grew cauliflower and it was a successful endeavour. Research showed that planting them with celery would decrease the onslaught on insects.

Whether it was the celery or the netting, the cauliflowers were as big as a dinner plate and bug-free. The raised bed had been deliberately half filled to allow for netting. If the success was a fluke, I’ll take it. The flaw in that section was that the kohlrabis planted did not have enough space to grow to maturity, the cauliflowers dominated. And the kohlrabis planted later were planted too late.

The other raised bed grows cucumbers, green peppers and tomatoes, with a volunteer sand cherry finding the space to grow. Here, the reality is the soil is too rich, for the foliage on the tomato plants threaten the supporting structures, the wire tomato cages. I did add calcium to the soil and watered religiously and am now prepared to reap a mighty harvest. The cucumbers were slow to take off, in fact, it was the third seeding that germinated. Here,

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein What’s right about taxes?

I

will be the first to admit that I ask that question at least twice a year. The first is in late March or early April, when I file my income tax return. The second is in September when property taxes are paid. These and other taxes eat up just under half of my income and like you, I often find myself thinking that something is seriously wrong with this picture.

There is, however, much that can be said in support of taxes; and this week, I want to suggest some things that are right about them—things that make them worth paying.

First, they help us recognize the role governments play in our society. St. Paul explores this concept in his letter to the Romans, chapter 13. He tells us, first of all, that human government is a divinely ordained entity. Its primary function is to set standards of right and wrong for those it governs. Those who follow the laws are to be allowed to go about their daily activities without being subjected to undue suspicion or harassment. Those who disobey the laws are to be given punishments that fit their crimes. Our taxes help pay for those the government employs to carry out these functions.

Second, taxes help pay for services that we, as citizens of our country, province, town or rural community, ask our governments to provide. These services include building and maintaining roads; urban water and sewer systems; public parks, playgrounds and sport facilities; schools and hospitals. As we demand more services, the list keeps growing.

Since individual citizens cannot provide these services on their own, we ask our governments to provide them for us and we allow them to take from us, in taxes, an amount equivalent to our fair share of the cost incurred to build, equip, maintain and staff these facilities. We still pay for the services we receive, but we share the cost with all those who live in our respective communities; and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Third, taxes enable us to help those in need, wherever in our communities or country they might happen to live.

We know that natural disasters (fires, floods, tornados, etc.) can happen anywhere at any time. Pandemics (like

too, there will be an abundance.

In the space between the garages, I planted broccoli, in low planters, and two tomatoes in mineral tubs. The area becomes too hot for healthy plants, even when they got moved from the east wall to the west wall, they withered early. And the broccoli? Well, Miss Daisy discovered the wonder of fresh greens. After finding evidence of one being eaten, I placed chicken wire around the planters. She nosed under it and harvested another one. I moved the two planters closer together and devised a better, stronger, chicken wire defence. Sadly, not good enough, she ate two more. That was four of the six gone. Between her going over and crawling under, there were no survivors.

The front garden is home to the peas, corn and four potato plants. There should have been two, not three, rows of corn for bigger ears, and the potatoes, companion planted with the corn, also needed more space and sunlight. The snap peas are closest to the driveway and grew above their fence. The regular peas outdid themselves.

Success. And then something got at the peas, eating not simply the pods, but also the tender ends. This was a win, for the plants burst forth into blossom and I am getting a second picking.

The front garden is planted with cantaloupe and watermelon. They are doing well. I thought to intersperse some flowers and finding random seeds in storage, I planted them. Not knowing by seeds without the pictures of the package, beets are now growing with the flowers.

So next year… I will be prepared to cover more veg beds, for Miss Daisy also harvests the cucumbers, again crawling under the net to gain her snack. There will also be a net over the raspberries, for the same reason! But next year….The promise lures me on.

COVID-19) can appear and put the lives and health of millions in danger. Government programs that provide emergency funds for those hardest hit by these disasters are always appreciated. But they must be paid for; and the only source of revenue governments have is the taxes we pay.

But, as good and right as the above things are, they do not give governments the right to tax and spend as they see fit. Nor do they justify the deficit financing that has become an alternative way of raising funds to cover expenses governments are unwilling to cut. Governments must act responsibly and with integrity, especially in the handling of public funds. Checks and balances must be in place so that the taxes we pay will be used to provide the best possible services to every Canadian, wherever he or she may live.

This will require vigilance on our part. As citizens, we have the right and responsibility to speak up if we feel tax dollars are being spent inappropriately. If governments refuse to listen, we can tell them how we feel about that during the campaign leading up to the next general election. But if we don’t speak up, we will have only ourselves to blame for larger deficits and higher taxes. Vigilant citizens can help ensure we will always have responsible governments.

Oak River Dodgers retain title as South West Champs

By Donna Falkevitch Rivers Banner

The Oak River Dodgers came out on top of the fourteam playoff for league champion held this past weekend in Oak River. Playing off for the pendant in South West Baseball League were Boissevain Centennials, Reston Rockets, Rivers Comets and the hometown Dodgers.

Games started early Saturday morning and concluded Sunday evening with a showdown between Boissevain and Oak River.

Rivers Comets had a good showing over the weekend, losing a close 2-1 game to Boissevain but then bouncing back with a solid 7-2 W over Reston on Saturday. In the play downs Sunday, Boissevain again edged the Comets in a close 4-3 game.

In the Sunday final matches, Centennials got by the Dodgers by a score of 2-1 giving them one win each and sending the league title to another game. This time Oak River left no doubt about the outcome, rounding the bases 13 times while Boissevain failed to score. Congratulations to Oak River Dodgers for capturing the SWBBL championship for the third time over the past four years.

She spent the first 3 ½ years in Waskada, and in 1932, the family moved to Rapid City where her parents went into business-Coutts’ Bakery. Gladys Received her Education in Rapid City, then going to Brandon College where she graduated with an Arts degree. In 1950, the family moved to Winnipeg, and there she took a business course, working first at Northern Trust, and then a year later, going to work for the Hudson Bay Store in the in Basement Divisional Merchandise Office. Four and half years later, she was transferred to the head office at Hudson Bay House. While in Winnipeg, she curled, bowled, golfed, and became a Cub Scout Leader, District Cub Leader and even worked on the Training team. She also became interested in football, an avid fan of the Bombers, attending six Grey Cup games. She discovered the joys of travel from camping in the summer, to travelling to various parts of the globe.

In 1964, she and Art married and moved to Brandon where she worked at the Health of Animals. In 1968 they moved to Rapid City and two months later, welcomed their first son, William Bradley. In 1970 the family moved to Ingelow, where she was talked into teaching 4-H and when they returned to Rapid City, she continued to teach sewing. In 1971, Harry Bart was welcomed to the family.

In 1976 Art & Gladys purchased the Convenience store and were in business there for ten years. Gladys was active in the community, joining the Chamber of Commerce, and in 1979 becoming a member of the editorial team of the Rapid City & District Tell-It-Gram.

She joined the Valleyview Seniors and worked on the committee to have a new Seniors Center built and was an active member thereafter. After Retirement, she got interested in Crafting and in the fall she and Art went to many Craft Sales in Westman. In 1993, a Drama Club was formed, and Gladys became an active member, filing many jobs, even writing some of the plays.

Gladys was predeceased by her parents, Bill and Alice, her husband Arthur, and her in-laws Harry & Ruby, Larry, Murray, Claire and Grace, and Lois. Gladys will be lovingly remembered by sons Brad and Bart (Brenda) and granddaughters, Sydney and Ashley, great grandson Ben, nieces and nephews.
