Hi Reena,
I own a large cof ee
table made of wood. Te
table is full of scratches
and I cant aford to pur-
chase a new table. Is there
any way to hold onto my
table without dishing out
a wad of cash? Lorraine
Dear Lorraine,
Option number one:
Fill in the scratches with
a colour match wood
f ller pencil/crayon spe-
cifcally designed to hide
scratches. Option num-
ber two: Wipe a rag with
matching stain over wood
to hide scratches. Have a
piece of smoked glass cut
and smoothed to ft the
wood. Glass cutters may
often include rubber feet
for each corner so that
the glass cant slide out
of position. Te glass will
hide the scratches. Op-
tion number three: Have a
piece of wood cut to ft the
size of the table, cover the
wood with fabric by se-
curing it with a staple gun
and place it over the table.
Option number four: Sand
and re-stain the table.
Hi there Reena,
I have an old 1930s
cabinet - highly polished.
My husband put a bottle of
rum on top of it - and it left
a stain (it looks like some
of the f nish was eaten
away). I could have kicked
him. Ive tried furniture
polish and it didnt help.
I dont want to risk re-fn-
ishing it as A) It would be a
massive job and B) I think
its veneer on top. Can you
help? Christina
Dear Christina,
Te good news is that
you may be able to hide
the damage with a dab of
matching crayon, paint or
stain (depending on the
wood). Te not so good
news is that it sounds
as though the alcohol
stripped the fnish and
therefore the stain cannot
be removed unless you
sand and refnish; only
covered up.
Good morning Reena,
I have a side-by-side
fridge/freezer.Today I
was cleaning it out and
when I took of the tem-
pered glass top of the top
crisper drawer and turned
it over, it was very stained
mostly light brown but
also some black spots. I
do know that sometimes
when I put fresh veggies or
fruit into the crispers, they
breathe, creating conden-
sation on the underside of
the glass but I didnt really
think anything of it. Also,
the same problem does
not appear on the under-
side of the untreated glass
top of the bottom crisper.
How do I get rid of the
stain?I was washing the
glass in warm water and
dish soap; tried a bit of
borax and then soaked a
paper towel with vinegar
and laid it on for a few
minutes, all with small re-
sults. I did manage, using
signif cant elbow grease,
to scrub of some but be-
cause the underside has
a coating of sorts (which
is why I couldnt see the
black stuf in the frst
place), I was hesitate to
use anything that was too
abrasive and risk damag-
ing the fnish. Laurie
Hi Laurie,
Te discolouration
that you are describing is
very common in fridges.
You are on the right track
using mild products such
as; dish soap, water and
borax but it is the cloth
that you use that will make
all the dif erence in the
world in terms of cleaning
ease. Use a green scrubby
pad or a plastic scrubby
pad something with abra-
sion otherwise this project
is going to be long and te-
dious. Consider putting
a rubber shelf liner or tea
towel on the glass creating
a barrier between the con-
tainer and the glass.
Dear Reena,
I live in a small apart-
ment with limited space.
Do you have any ideas for
storing sheets so that they
take up less room? Eric
Dear Eric,
Here are a few stor-
age options to consider:
Fold the ftted sheet and
then fold the fat sheet
and one pillow case into a
small square. Put all three
pieces inside of the last
pillow case and fold it in
half. Now you have a neat
bundle that stays together.
When you want that set of
sheets just pull down one
pillow case and they are
all inside waiting for use.
Or lay sheets between the
box spring and the mat-
tress. Another option is to
fold sheets and hang them
in the closet. Or put extra
sheets in an empty suit-
case.
Fabulous Tips to Liven
Things Up:
When serving cheese
cubes at a party, insert
pretzels instead of tooth-
picks into each cube.
Add a pinch of cof ee
to gravy to give it a richer
colour.
Instead of mak-
ing one large meatloaf,
make meatloaf in muf-
f n tins. Tis looks bet-
ter and freezes wonder-
fully so that you can keep
meatloaf on-hand in your
freezer.

We are happy that
on occasion a motorist
gets charged because that
seems to be the only deter-
rent that has any punch.
On the other hand, we
dont want to have any-
body charged for passing
a school bus because this
means that things are un-
safe for our kids. We have
a lot of stops and we have
some pretty busy places
where our buses stop, so it
is imperative for our kids
safety that people follow
the laws, explained Reg
Klassen, RRSD superinten-
dent.
Flashing yellow lights
on the school bus indi-
cate that the bus is getting
ready to stop and load or
unload, meaning they you
need to slow down and get
ready to stop. Flashing red
lights indicate that the bus
has stopped and that chil-
dren are getting on or of, it
is illegal to pass the school
bus from either direction
once its stopped and its
lights are activated. Te
only exception is if there is
a meridian separating your
vehicle from the bus.
T ese school buses
are transporting students
of many ages, sizes and
stages of development,
they make multiple stops,
short runs, long runs along
quiet rural roads and busy
highways, motorists are
warned to be mindful.
Tere is quite a bit of
support to ensure our bus-
es are as safe as possible on
highways and in the very
important job of transport-
ing this precious cargo.
Our children have school
bus ridership expectations
as well as every year, at ev-
ery school, bus evacuation
and safety is practiced, ex-
plains Klassen.
Governing school
bodies also warn motor-
ist to be extra careful in
school zones when drop-
ping and picking children
up as these can be con-
gested areas full of road
and foot traf c.
On September 16th,
the government of Mani-
toba announced amend-
ments to the Highway
Traf c Act providing local
governments the authority
to set lower speed limits in
school zones.
Local governments
will now have ability to set
maximum speeds as low
as 30 km per hour as well
as designate specifc dates
and hours when reduced
speed limits are in efect
or set the limits in efect all
the time.
All families want
their children to be safe
while crossing streets as
they travel to and from
school, says Steve Ashton,
infrastructure and trans-
portation minister while
announcing the change.
Te new regulations will
permit local governments
to establish lower speeds
in school zones to ensure
greater safety for children
in their communities.
In School Safety
Once children have ar-
rived to school, their safety
is handled by teachers,
principles, school admin-
istration and the school
community, and while
there is no way to keep ev-
ery child safe, 100 percent
of the time, these persons
are dedicated to creating a
positive learning environ-
ment.
With a policy for al-
most every occasion, both
the schools and division
have step-by-step guides
on how to best handle al-
most every situation.
We cant keep every-
one 100 percent safe. We
cant wrap them in bubble
wrap. Schools are a busy
place and kids can get hurt
but at the same time we
have some good structures
in place to ensure that kids
are as safe as possible,
says James Sheppard, prin-
cipal at Tanners Crossing
Elementary School.
Every school in the
RRSD holds ten fre drill
practices a year as well as
a lockdown practice once
a year so that everyone
involved knows what this
means and the process of
how things should hap-
pen.
Every year we de-
velop a crisis response
plan which covers any cir-
cumstance that we would
need to get students out of
the building, to stay in the
building or to lockdown
the school. Everyone in-
volved knows the order of
operations to take, who we
need to contact when and
the process we need to fol-
low, explains Sheppard.
Recently there was an
incident that occurred in
Rivers, with a suspicious
vehicle around the school
grounds and while this in-
cidence turned out to ap-
pear more emergent than
in reality, it showcased the
procedures taken by the
school and the division.
Tis recent incident
really showcased the great
communication between
all of the parties within the
division. In terms of the
chain of communication,
within a day of the incident
we had already informed
parents and re-educated
the children on the issue.
Tat is one of the benef ts
of RRSD, although we are
spread out geographically
we are still pretty small and
connected, says Shep-
pard.
Allergies
Student allergies are
another concern for many
people, and while some
may fnd it frustrating that
peanut butter is banned,
for those who sufer from
what can be life-threaten-
ing allergies it is a more
than necessary precaution.
All allergies are
processed and tracked
through school admin-
istration. All necessary
precautions are taken and
prepared for. Communica-
tion with the school about
what a child needs is the
most important factor.
An idea that one of
our teachers came up with
a few years ago is what
we call a health care plan
hockey card, what it is, is in
each class room there is a
card with the photo of the
child and then the perti-
nent health information.
So if you happened to be a
grade eight teacher watch-
ing over children in dif-
ferent grades and an issue
comes up, the information
about the child and what
needs to be done is quick
and easy to reference, says
Sheppard.
Bullying
Bullying is an ever
present safety factor in
schools. It seems as though
every year there is a head-
line about a young person
dramatically afected by
bullying in our country.
If an incident hap-
pens outside of school but
comes into the building
in any manner, upsetting
the culture of what we are
trying to create within the
school, which is a warm,
safe, caring environment
where children have the
chance to learn to their po-
tential, if anything changes
that, we deal with it, says
Klassen.
In the Jr. High it is
often put-down commen-
tary or the he-said-she-
said kind of things and in
the high school it has to
do with more intense re-
lationships. Part of this is
young people learning to
handle these relationships
and sometimes they make
mistakes and say things in
response to hurt feelings or
a broken heart as the case
may be, Klassen contin-
ues.
While every school
and division has a code
of conduct and plenty of
policies on student safety
and being free of harass-
ment, where kids gather
and grow together there is
bound to be conficts.
It is important to
constantly encourage the
kids to come forward and
ask for help. Kids see this
as snitching but what I try
to tell them is that when
you come to an adult be-
cause of confict or bully-
ing it is because you have
tried to fx it yourself and
need help. Yes there is bul-
lying and harassment at
Tanners Crossing, but I
am confdent that it is not
rampant and we do the
best to address this, ex-
plains Sheppard.
In recent years the ad-
vancement of technology
and childrens access to
that technology has grown,
presenting a new challenge
to parents and school ad-
ministration alike. Kids are
now in constant commu-
nication with each other,
they are becoming more
mobile and use of social
media sites has dramati-
cally increased. All of these
factors have culminated
to create a new vehicle for
bullying and cyber bully-
ing.

T
he Minnedosa Band
Parents Association
is comprised of parents
of the band students from
TCS and MCI. Te parents
meet with the band teach-
er once a month. Tese
meetings are to decide
how the Band Parents As-
sociation can support the
Band Program.
In the 2012-2013
school year the band par-
ents raised funds through
Moms Pantry, LeMontigue
and the Saran and Foil
sales. Te band parents
also volunteered for the
supervision of the students
for the December band
concert and assisted with
the June concert, where
the students showcased
their musical talents.
In the past school year
the band parents helped
send students to the Hon-
our Band held in February
in Brandon, students from
Grades 9-12 to Edmonton
in April and six students to
the International Music-
Camp in July. A portion of
the IMC funds were donat-
ed by local groups UCT and
Minnedosa Foundation. A
dessert concert was held
in March to help fund the
Edmonton trip. A portion
of the funds raised by the
association goes towards
the purchase of large in-
struments and some re-
pairs and cleaning on oth-
ers. A grant from Husky Oil
is being put towards the
purchase of a new Bari-
tone Saxophone. Tis year
Husky Oil has donated to
the band program again
to help in the purchase of
musical instruments.
In addition to these
activities and as part of the
Band Program provided by
the Rolling River School
Division, the Grades 7/8
attended the Advanced
Band in Brandon held in
April. Grades 9-12 students
travelled to Winnipeg to at-
tend the Optimist Festival
in Febuary and in March to
Brandon to perform at the
Jazz festival.
Because of the com-
munity, parents, students
and Rolling River School
division the local school
band had another success-
ful year.
Te next Band Parent
Association meeting is the
annual AGM in October.
Come join us and see what
we are about.

T
his past weekend,
Manitoba Canola
Growers hosted its second
annual Be Well Camp Sep-
tember 13th to 15th. MCG
invited ten participants to
come along on a three-day
educational tour of agri-
culture and its major role
in food production.
People are really in-
vested in food and have
a lot of questions around
it, explained Manitoba
Canola Growers Educa-
tion and Promotions Man-
ager, Ellen Pruden. Te
Be Well Camp connects
people back to our food
and the farmers who pro-
duce it. Tis gives them
an opportunity to talk to a
farmer directly about how
canola is produced. As
part of this tour, we con-
nect with other farmers
who are all a part of our
canola story.
Tis years camp par-
ticipants included four
chefs, two dietitians, two
food and nutrition stu-
dents from Ryerson Uni-
versity, one blogger and
one freelance writer.
Te tour set out from
Winnipeg Friday after-
noon headed northwest
towards Newdale. Te
frst stop of the tour was
at Dalgarnos Pen-Dale
Farms. Here, the crew
enjoyed a delicious ru-
ral gourmet BBQ chicken
and rib dinner catered by
award winning chef, MJ
Feeke. Following dinner
participants took part in a
discussion forum on Ge-
netically Modifed Organ-
isms with guest speakers
Trish Jordan from Mon-
santo and Bruce Dalgarno
of Pen-Dale Farms.
Camp participants
spent two nights at the
Barn in the Bush near
Russell and took part in
a number of farm visits,
each showcasing a dif-
ferent aspect of agricul-
ture. Saturday morning
began with a grain eleva-
tor tour at Fairfeld Land
N Cattle operated by
the Len Derkach family.
Other stops along the Be
Well Camp tour included
Silver Creek Bison Farm,
Orsaks Grain and Oilseed
Farm, Freefeld Organic
Farm, Wendell Estate
Honey House and High
Bluf Stock Farms. Satur-
day evening, the partici-
pants attended the Ases-
sippi Autumn Feast. On
Sunday, on their way back
to Winnipeg, the group
made a stop for lunch at
the farm of Neil and Ro-
berta Galbraith north of
Basswood.
Each year, Manitoba
Canola Growers reach
out to individuals they
feel would beneft from
the Be Well Camp, such
as people who work in the
food and nutrition sec-
tors. Chefs are handling
our food and they get a lot
of questions about food
from their patrons as do
dietitians, said Ellen. We
want to provide them with
the most knowledge and
best connection that we
can possibly give them.
Troughout the tour,
camp participants learn
about and engage in real
farm experiences. Tey
learn how farms operate,
what farms produce and
how modern technology
is being used by agricul-
tural producers. Tey also
get hands on experiences
such as operating farm
equipment. Tey just
love it, said Ellen. To
have the opportunity to
drive a combine thats an
experience you just cant
get living in inner city To-
ronto.
Participants of this
years Be Well Camp
walked away with a lot of
new knowledge and a lot
of new connections which
they can use to everyones
beneft in their own indus-
tries. MCG is committed to
continuing its education
component through op-
portunities such as the Be
Well Camp and is grateful
to the farmers who took
time away from their felds
during a busy time of the
year to share their stories
with camp participants.
It was an eye-opening, educational experi-
ence. I learned a lot about where my food comes
from, and it was great to hear the perspective of
the family farmers, - Michelle Kwan, student,
Ryerson University.
To be able to meet local farmers who have
such a strong passion and sense of pride when
it comes to their land, families and product was
such an honour. I was aware of where most of my
local products came from, but to be able to drive
a combine and actually be the smallest part of the
harvest which may be canola oil in my kitchen
was just an absolute treat, Jesse Friesen, head
chef of the Lobby on York, Winnipeg.

T
he 2013 spring wheat
harvest has produced
some record high yields
for many producers and
it will be interesting to see
how the individual variet-
ies performed when yield
data is published in the
2014 Yield Manitoba pub-
lication.
In recently released
acreage data from MASC
Insurance we fnd that
the variety Carberry was
the most popular variety
grown in 2013 capturing
31.7% of the market.Car-
berry was frst released to
producers in 2012, when
it held the number four
spot at 12.3%. Carberry
has been widely accepted
by growers because it is
considered a semi-dwarf
variety with strong straw,
has excellent yield poten-
tial and has a moderately
resistant rating to fusarium
head blight.Certainly the
lodging resistance was evi-
dent over this past growing
season.
Te variety Glenn has
again held the second spot
in 2013 capturing 16.7%
of the acres followed by
Harvest which came in at
third place with 13.7% of
the seeded acres, drop-
ping from the number one
spot it held in 2012.Glenn
remains popular due to its
market acceptance, excel-
lent yield, MR fusarium
rating and strong straw.
Te lodging resistance for
Glenn was also evident
over this past growing sea-
son. Rounding out the top
f ve were KANE at 6.5%
and WR859 CL at 5.1%.
Rounding out the topten
varieties were CDC Stan-
ley, ACDomain, CDC Ut-
most VB, CDC Go and AC
Barrie. Te older varieties
of AC Domain and AC Bar-
rie continue to see a de-
cline in acres and it will be
interesting to see how their
yields compare to the new-
er varieties under what
could be considered ideal
growing conditions. Te
top 10 varieties together
were grown on 89% of red
spring wheat acres in Man-
itoba. Te remaining 11%
of acres were seeded to
43 other red spring wheat
varieties, many of those
being reproduced for seed
production.
Spruce Tree Fall
Maintenance
Now is the time to pre-
pare your spruce trees for
winter. Te dry conditions
experienced for much of
August and September
means that the number
one priority is water. It
takes a long time to re-
plenish moisture levels
around spruce especially
if they are older more ma-
ture trees.
Te frst recommen-
dation is to water the trees
at the drip line or just past
the bottom branches of
the tree. Do not water any
type of tree at the trunk as
very little water is picked
up here and the excess
moisture near the trunk
will only promote various
root diseases. Watering
should be done slowly and
over a period of time using
a soaker or trickle hose at
the drip line of the tree
where the feeder roots are
found.
Another method that has
been used with good suc-
cess is to dig a small de-
pression capable of hold-
ing5-10 litres of water on
the upslope of the tree
at the drip line and con-
tinually fll the depression
with water slowly until
the water begins to accu-
mulate which would indi-
cate that moisture levels
around the tree have been
replenished.
Dont be fooled by
a one to two inch rain in
that it will do little to re-
plenish sub-soil moisture
levels.
Besides watering this
is also a good time to rinse
or pressure wash the tree
of dry needles and once
complete trim all dry
branches and remove all
needles and debris from
the base of the tree. Tese
needles and debris are of-
ten the source of Rhizos-
phaera needle cast spores
so their removal will help
reduce disease pressure
for next year.
On newer plantings a
light bark layer may be put
down to help retain mois-
ture and to help reduce
the potential of the needle
cast spores being splashed
up on lower branches of
the tree. Next spring once
new growth is initiated a
Copper spray or the fungi-
cide Bravo can be applied
to protect the new growth
from any additional infec-
tion from retained infect-
ed needles still on the tree.

May , -
August th,
Peacefully on Saturday,
August 24th, 2013, John Richard
(Dick) Brugger passed away at
the Minnedosa Personal Care
Home.
Dick was predeceased
by his wife, Dorothy, his
parents, Hazel and Jack
Brugger, father-in-law, Charles
Grasby, mother-in-law, Mary
Grasby, brother, Conrad, sister, Velma
Nelson, brother-in-laws, Harold Grasby, Bruce Nelson, John
Vinthers, Cliford Vinthers, Jake Dyck, sister-in-laws, Edna
Vinthers, and Nora Brugger.
Leaving to mourn his passing are son, Richard (Alice) of
Minnedosa, daughter Dianne (Roland) Ruddell of Morean Lake,
SK, son Robert (Barb) of Saskatoon, SK, daughter Jean (Terry)
Jackson of Arden, MB, son Wayne (Judy) of Saskatoon, SK, son
Allan of Brandon, MB, daughter Karen (Daryl) of Elie, MB;
twelve grandchildren, Justin and Clinton Brugger, Christopher
(Christie) and Blair Ruddell, Candice (Joel)Froese, Roxanne
(Patrick) Brunelle, Chandra (Tyler) Mierau, Derek (Jen)
Jackson, Melinda (Troy) Day, Adam Brugger, Joshua Mitchell
and Lindy (Ian) Sharp and also ten great-grandchildren,
Victoria, Nicholas, Tristin, Leigh, Jemma, Ryan, Emily, Zairyn,
Samuel and Logan, his sister-in-laws Margaret and Telma,
many nieces and nephews and friends.
Richard (Dick) Brugger was born on May 22, 1923 in Franklin,
Manitoba to Hazel and Jack Brugger. He attended Glendale
School, helped his Dad farm and then joined the army in 1942.
He was a Corporal with the Royal Winnipeg Rifes. During World
War II, he served in Canada, the United Kingdom, Belgium,
Holland, and Germany. Dad very seldom talked about the war,
just that he was proud to have served his country. After the war,
Dad returned to Franklin where he began farming. He met the
love of his life, Dorothy Irene Grasby, in 1940 and on October
29, 1946 they married and started their life together farming in
the Franklin District. Raising seven children, kept both Mom
and Dad busy. Dad enjoyed being a mixed farmer. He took
great pride in the yard, mowing more grass each year. Dad had
a great love for the outdoors. He loved trapping, hunting and
fshing, and camping. After retiring from farming Dad was able
to help Mom with more of the yard work, especially the fowers.
Tey did more camping and even took a trip to Alaska with
Robert. Dads declining health caused Mom and Dad to sell the
farm and move to Minnedosa in 1998. On March 17, 2006, after
being married for 59 years, Mom passed away.
Dad always had time for the grandchildren and the great-
grandchildren. His eyes would light up when the grandchildren
brought their children for a visit in the Minnedosa Personal
Care Home.
Funeral services were held on Tursday, August 29 at the
Minnedosa United Church with the Rev. Barb Jardine of ciating.
Pallbearers were six of Dicks grandchildren, Justin and
Clinton Brugger, Melinda Day, Lindy Sharp, Christopher
Ruddell and Roxanne Jackson.
If friends so desire, donations can be made to the Minnedosa
Personal Care Home or the Alzheimer Society or a charity of
your choice.
Whites Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements.
Rest in Peace, Dad.

sions ban technical tools,
the thing is that with a lot
of these products they are
incredibly powerful tools
that can be used to a huge
beneft in the educational
system but I think that it is
very important to educate
on using these tools prop-
erly, for positive things,
education on responsible
use of technology is a
must, says Sheppard.
Klassen adds that cy-
ber bullying is no difer-
ent from any other kind
of bullying and is not tol-
erated within the school
community.
Schools are very vigi-
lant of bullying. Te main
problem with this is that
the school doesnt often
know until incidents have
occurred several times.
I encourage parents to
have lots of conversation
with your children about
what is online. Make sure
that you as a parent have
an understanding of what
can be found online. If
your child is receiving in-
appropriate messages on-
line, save them, tell your
child not to engage. If the
situation continues or es-
calades, do not hesitate to
bring it to a local author-
ity.
While there are many
dif erent factors afecting
children, it is very much
the responsibility of the
entire community to come
together to make sure the
school environment is as
safe as possible.
My advice in regards
to school and childrens
safety in general is that it
is imperative for parents
to know what their chil-
dren are doing. Whether
they are out with friends
or walk to school, know
what is going on. Know
the route that your chil-
dren are walking, know
what streets and railways
they are crossing, who
they are walking with, how
long it takes them. So that
when they dont show up
in time, you can make a
call.
While incidents will
occur, such is life, the im-
portant aspect is that we
are all working togeth-
er as parents, teachers,
principals and commu-
nity members to achieve
a common goal, provid-
ing a healthy environment
that allows kids to learn to
their full potential.
If something hap-
pens that is school re-
lated whether it is a close
call coming home from
school, or bullying, or a
stranger in a strange ve-
hicle. Talk to somebody.
As a parent or a student,
talk to someone. Tell the
school administrator,
tell the police, let people
know what is going on.
Particularly around bully-
ing, if you are bullied and
you are afraid, you have
to tell somebody. People
cannot address a situa-
tion if we are not aware of
what is going on. We fully
expect all of our schools to
address situations as soon
as they are aware.
