DEADLINE
Tuesday at 12 Noon
hile Minnedosa enjoys a reputation for being a

popular summer time destination, many visitors
may not realize that the sidewalks dont get rolled up
just because the leaves begin falling from the trees. Locally, we enjoy that Manitobas Valley Paradise offers a
robust schedule of activities throughout the year both
indoors and outdoors. That community spirit was on
display at Minnedosa beach last weekend with the presentation of Theres Life After Labour Day in Minnedosa.Th e event was held on Saturday, September 17th.
Originally, plans were in motion for Minnedosa to
host a dragonboat festival on the weekend. This was
welcomed news from local resident Karen May, who is a
six-time medal winner in festivals in British Columbia,
Alberta and California. She immediately volunteered to
co-ordinate the event locally on behalf of the Westman
Dragonboat Association. However, when the Association withdrew from their plans to host the event, Karen
had already set a number of wheels in motion for sponsorship, fundraising and event partnerships with local
recipient organizations.
Instead, with assistance from volunteers and funding support from local agencies, she shifted the focus of
the event from a water to a land event and the results
were encouraging. With weather conditions ideal to
get outdoors, the event included a 20-vendor market,
10-skill testing team and individual games and an outdoor movie at dusk. Final calculations are still being
tallied, but more than 100 participants signed up for
the challenge games in the afternoon. It is estimated
that the event will generate $800 in net proceeds to be
divided between the Minnedosa Beach Enhancement
project and the Minnedosa Palliative Care Society.
Among the highlights of the afternoon were that the
event did not just inspire participation from youngsters
but the afternoon challenges included participation
from a wide cross-section of the community, from preschoolers to retirees. Upon posting the list of winners
for the individual games and the overall team victors of
the day, event organizers dropped a hint that this could
become an annual event each September.

Fundraising Update For Community Clinic

By VERN MAY
s plans continue to build a

new Primary Care Clinic, the
fundraising committee reports
that close to one-third of the public fundraising goal has already
been reached. However, there is
still some ground to cover to meet
the identifi ed October deadline
which could confirm the start of

construction next spring.
The cost to build and furnish
the facility is estimated to be $2.5
Million with approximately 59%
of the total project cost being covered through municipal contributions and mortgage financing.
With just over $1 Million left to be
addressed through other fund-
raising efforts, $329,265 has been

committed from various donors,
with a sizable margin yet to cover.
Th e committee is suggesting that those who wish to make
a donation to the project, either
privately or corporately, look at
fi rming up their commitment in
the coming weeks to best ensure
that the project will proceed in
the timeliest manner.

A number of collection sites
have been established, including
at the Town and R.M. offices, as
well as at MNP (formerly Johns
Tax Service) and the Minnedosa
Credit Union. Donors will receive
a receipt for income tax purposes
at the time of their contribution.

May commented with
pride that we had more
media presence in 2015
than we had prior to that,
regular coverage in 14 publications and news media
outside of Minnedosa. He
mentioned that community was emphathized in
2015. Because he is new in
the community, he needed
to make himself known to
the community, to make
sure everyone knew who
I was, whether they agree
with my message or not.
In 2015, the social media presence increased
from a weekly viewership of
about 10 people to an average of 5,100 weekly viewers,
and he mentioned that the
numbers for 2016 are even
more awesome, but well
talk about that next year.
Following the recap of
2015, there were three guest
speakers, each proudly presenting their new business.
Lisa Ballageer spoke on her
business, Innovative Hearing Techniques. Following
this, Doug Finlay and his
spouse spoke on Oakview
Equipment. Lastly we saw

Marlies Soltys speak about
Inspire Studio of Fine Art.
Each business received
a financial contribution
through the Dragons Den
portion of the entrepreneurship event, Whats
the Big Idea, that was put
on through a partnership
between Minnedosa and
Neepawa.
May resumed speaking about future plans for
Minnedosa. The number one thing is we need
to adopt a regional approach to investment attraction. He would like to
see a partnership with Portage La Prairie, Neepawa,
Shoal Lake and Russell, in
what is being referred to as
the Yellowhead Corridor.
Th rough this partnership,
they would be able to combine each towns resources
into a larger project for the
group as a whole. He noted
that, the Yellowhead Corridor represents 19% of the
rural working population
in Manitoba, and when you
start to present numbers
like that, it gets very exciting for investors.
May stressed that one

thing that is crucial for development and investor attraction is for Minnedosa to
grow to Highway #10, one
of the biggest challenges
that we have, versus the
communities around us, is
that we are off the highway.
We dont have visibility on
the major road. He also
said that in order to be attractive to new investors,
Minnedosa needs to have
an inventory on hand of
vacant buildings and available land. This is because
currently there is a lack of
space for new businesses
to set themselves up. Once
this is addressed, the next
question that investors will
ask is whether these sites
are infrastructure ready,
and if they are not, who will
be paying for the sites to become infrastructure ready?
There is the possibility
for a national chain to set
up a $3 million business at
the north junction of highways #10 and #16, near the
rest stop, on the condition

that we are able to find another national chain to set
up alongside them. This
would be beneficial, May
noted, because of the high
number of trucks that are
parked there nightly.
The Minnedosa Credit
Union is going to be partnering with the CDC on a
microloan business program, providing new or
expanding businesses in
the area with up to a $5,000
loan. Another project that
they are working towards is
through the Manitoba Sustainable Energy Association to look at green energy
projects to leverage incentive funding through Manitoba Hydro.
There are many steps
involved in developing a
community, but through
the hard work of May and
the Community Development Corporation the future of Minnedosa is looking bright.

Reports on 41st
General Election
Whats In Store For The Class Of 2029?

By
VERN MAY
SUBMITTED
EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC
wo reports released earlier this week by Elections

Manitoba provide Manitobans with detailed results
of the recent provincial election and findings of a postelection survey of voters and non-voters.
Information, consultation and analysis help Elections Manitoba continue to fi nd ways to reach voters and run free and fair elections, said Chief Electoral Offi cer Shipra Verma. Th
e detailed results and
review of processes provide valuable information
for our organization and other interested groups.
The Statement of Votes provides statistics on the use
of each voting method, as well as summaries of results
and votes cast, detailed results by voting area, and maps
of each electoral division. Also included are historical results and an overview of electoral changes, from 1870 to
the present.
Election day was April 19th, 2016, with 443,861 Manitobans, or 57.43% of registered voters, casting their vote.
Voters used a variety of methods, including advance, absentee, homebound, institutional and regular voting on
election day.
Voter Turnout in the 2016 Provincial Election
is a survey that examines the characteristics of voters and nonvoters, the reasons why they did or did not vote in the
election, their attitudes towards voting, and what factors
would motivate them to vote. The survey was conducted
from May 29th to July 12th, 2016 and included 400 voters
and 400 non-voters.
Reasons for not voting fall into three categories normally used in voting research: distracted (42%), disassociated (41%) and displaced (11%). Among the reasons
considered distractions were not having time, being
away or sick, or forgetting to vote. Among those classifi ed as disassociation were distrust in or dislike of the
candidates, not knowing who to vote for, or not being
interested. Displaced refers to those reasons that are
administrative in nature, such as not being on the voters
list, not having identification, not knowing where to vote,
or finding it inconvenient to vote.
The survey found that 9 in 10 voters and 7 in 10 nonvoters believe that it is important to vote. The 2016 survey reinforces past findings: Although non-voters think
that it is very important for people in general to vote, they
consider it less important that they personally do so.
t may surprise you to learn that one of the staunchest and most enthusiastic promoters of Minnedosa
is only five-years-old. My son, Oscar, may be one of
the biggest supporters of the community that you have
ever seen. He has been to each of our visitor attractions this summer and chats about them non-stop to
visitors to our home, he raves about the beach, the
village where nobody lives, and marvels at the daily
wildlife sightings in our yard and around the neighbourhood. His excitement about Minnedosa is seemingly limitless and I wonder, as a dad: How long can
we maintain that level of utopic perfection that he believes this town represents?
Last week, he started kindergarten and he is comforted to know that his friends Georgia, Ethan, Zac,
and the boy with messy hair whose name I cant remember are in his class. On the walk to school, he
watches intently to spot the beaver (that he has named
Beavy) in the Little Saskatchewan River that he has
seen frequently this summer.
But heres what I know now that hes in school,
they are going to start talking about everyones future
aspirations. While we know that few of the goals that
we set as grade schoolers stick with us through to
adulthood, I am curious to know what he will pick.
What vision does he see for his future? More importantly, will he be able to do that here?
When I look at Minnedosa, both where we are

and where we need to go, I do so thinking about Oscar, Georgia, Ethan, Zac and that boy with the messy
hair. What decisions are we making today that will
affect their quality of life in Minnedosa just 12 short
years from now? Will we create an opportunity for
good jobs that allow them to stay in the community
and continue to build upon their lifelong friendships?
That line that we have been told that children are the
future isnt just a clever marketing slogan to sell picture frames and photo coffee mugs its a reality that
is important to our strategic direction.
As a parent, looking out for the best future for my
children, can I truthfully identify that this is the best
location to serve as a launch pad for their future success? Could they have a bright future here, or will I
find myself making another move to a community for
the right combination of occupation and recreation?
I would encourage our community offi cials to do
the same. Do your children live and work here? Do
you believe that we have enough to offer to keep them
here without limiting their potential? If youre looking and not seeing that we can fulfill the needs of even
your own families to live, work and play here how
can you sell us on that dream as rate payers?
Our community is more than a century old, but if
we hope to endure another century without becoming
a tribute cairn on the side of the highway, we need to
think about and invest in our youth and create opportunities that provide a setting for hard work to pay off
with success.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people
and we need to talk. You can find me under the Discover Minnedosa banner at 39 Main Street, reach me

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
MLAs Set To Return To Legislature

Under The Dome
By
GREG NESBITT
Riding Mountain MLA
ith summer officially over, Manitobans

have fi nished up their
vacations and are getting
back to work. And at the
legislature, our new Manitoba government is doing
the same thing.
Our 40 MLAs in the
Progressive
Conservative Caucus are preparing
to get back to business in
the House on Monday,
October 3rd, to continue
working for Manitobans
through the fall by carrying forward several
important pieces of legislation. Introduced by
our government this past
spring before the Legislative Assembly began its

summer break, these bills
are designed to better
protect vulnerable Manitobans and to improve
the democratic process
for elections as well as for
workplace union certifications.
Led by Premier Brian
Pallister, we are continuing to return integrity,
accountability and transparency to the Manitoba
Legislature. Hand in hand
with our Open Government Initiative, we will
move forward with changes to the Elections Act to
set fi xed dates for the beginning of general election campaigns and for
six-month time limits for
the calling of by-elections.
Our new government is
also proceeding to abolish
the vote tax subsidy for
political parties and to restore Manitobans right to
vote on major tax increases.
For workers across the
province, our government
is taking our Labour Relations Act amendments
into second reading.
When passed into law,
they will make workplace
union certifi cation by secret-ballot votes mandatory. This change will allow workers the freedom
to participate and to make
decisions on union certifi cation without fear of
intimidation by their colleagues or union groups.
We are, as well, pushing forward this fall with
a law to better protect

children at risk. Our proposed Protecting Children
(Information Sharing) Act
would allow Child and
Family Services, police
agencies and schools to
improve their sharing of
critical information when
its in kids best interests.
These are just some of
the measures our new government is moving ahead
with over the next several
weeks to continue toward
our goal of making Manitoba the most improved
province in Canada. The
summer is over - its time
to roll up our sleeves and
go to work.

A Daughters Memoir About Dementia

SUBMITTED
lizabeth Murray wanted to believe that her

mothers actions were
nothing more than the
normal aging of a sometimes difficult and determined woman. Had Murray not been absorbed
with her own ill health,
she might have been more
concerned about her
mothers memory lapses
and unusual behaviour
but a battle with cancer,
the death of her father,
and a strained relationship with her brothers
had left her emotionally
drained. It was easier to
push aside her worries
than to confront her fears
that her mother was in the

early stages of a debilitating disease.
Murrays
memoir
Holding on to Mamie: My
Mother, Dementia and Me
chronicles her mothers
decline from dementia
and its insidious transformation of a once vibrant
woman.
After my mother
was forced to move into
a nursing home, I found
caches of notes crammed
into the cupboards and
drawers of her house,
explains Murray, who became the target for her
mothers increasing anger
and paranoia as dementia
took hold. The notes contained bitter indictments

against me for things that

I had never said or done.
From the time she was
a young girl, Murray had
always been her mothers
ally and confidante. Th e
notes were painful reminders of how dementia
had changed their relationship.
Murray includes some
of the notes as a parallel narrative in the book
which allows the reader

a quest for redemption,
said Murray. Her memoir
has become more than a
personal exercise in healing; by raising awareness
of some of the darker
symptoms of dementia,
her story has helped others navigate their own
journey with the disease.
Murrays hope is that
sharing her experience

will help to normalize dementia and reduce some
of the stigma that surrounds the disease.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of her
memoir will be donated to
organizations dedicated
to providing services to
families who are living
with dementia.

Wheat Scything To Fight Hunger

By HILLARY CAMPBELL
ay The Grain Guy Baloun and Don Wilkinson recently harvested

wheat the old fashioned
way. On the evening of
Wednesday, September
14th, the two teamed up
with a number of other
volunteers to harvest the
wheat plot just west of the
Minnedosa
Evangelical
Covenant Church.
The sun was shining as Wilkinson skilfully
waved the scythe back
and forth against the
wheat stalks. According to
Baloun, this was the first
year that he has grown
wheat in the plot behind
the church. The space
where the plot is now located used to be occupied
by a small house, which
is now at the museum
grounds. Since the move,
the space has been used
as a community garden
for anyone in the community who didnt have
a place to garden. This
year there were no takers
in the community, so on
May 30th, Baloun decided

that he would seed it with
wheat.
The reason, he said,
is for the Canadian
Foodgrains Bank, which is
an organization of about
15 partnering churches
across Canada. Baloun
commented that our goal
is to end hunger, and we
havent been able to do
that yet, but weve been
able to make a big difference.
The specific group
that Baloun helps with is
called Kernels of Hope,
with all proceeds from
the last three years going to the Congo. He said
that they help people in
the Congo buy tools, like
scythes, seeds, and fish for
fish farming so that they
can grow crops for themselves, and maybe feed
them and their family first,
and hope that they get a
little extra income to send
their kids to school.
The small plot by the
Covenant Church did not
provide enough wheat
to feed an entire nation,
but Baloun noted that

there is just enough with
this to be great advertising and great awareness
for people to think about
it. On world relief Sunday, which is held once
a year, the church will
highlight the Congo, and
will show people what the
money that was raised by
Kernels of Hope is going
towards. With this little
piece of land, we hope to
get enough wheat, and I
know we will, to make at
least one loaf of bread,
and then were going to
use that for the communion bread, Baloun added, it can really connect
the dots between what we
can do here to help people
over there.
Next year, the plot will
be once again offered to a
local cause first, but Baloun added with a smile
that its been kind of fun,
and whenever Im out
here, a few people stop every time Im working at it.

Bed and Breakfasts Open Their Doors

By HILLARY CAMPBELL
n Sunday, September 18th the Bed and

Breakfast Association of
Manitoba had an open
house.
The provincewide open house had 22
B and Bs open their doors
for tours and information from noon until 5pm.
These B and B owners provided light refreshments
and each provided a place
for guests to leave their
names, to be entered into
a draw to win a free onenight stay at the bed and
breakfast of their choice.
Susan Proven, of the
Fairmount Bed and Breakfast near Minnedosa, is
the President of the Bed
and Breakfast Association
of Manitoba, and participated in this open house.
The farm that the Bed and
Breakfast is located on is
over 100 years old, and
Proven provides a small
booklet on the history of
the land, going into as
much detail as who occupied each room that the
guests could stay in.
Th is year is Provens
fi rst time participating in
the open house in about 20
years. Her goal, she said,
is to become known to the
people nearby who are
not aware of her business,
when people say they are
going to the Fairmount,
and people say I dont
know it, its those people
that I need to reach.
Proven has been on
the farm since she married into the Proven family
in 1971. However, she did
not open the B&B until her
son moved away to university in 1998. She noted that
this summer, she has had
guests there every night
through July and August,
which is the busy season
for most B&Bs. Ive seen
the world, because a lot
of this business is new
Manitobans, and theyre
coming out to explore
the province, and theyve
only been in Manitoba
for a very short time, and
theyre on their way out to
take a look.
Th e Bed and Breakfast Association has ap-
guests being first timers, it

is important for the Association to stay active and
continue to attract new
guests with events like the
open house. Proven also
added that there is not a
single guest that she has
had in her home that she
would not welcome back.
Proven concluded the
interview by providing
some tips on etiquette for
B and B guests, because
so many of their first-time
guests are unsure of where
they can go because they
are staying in someones
home. Some of the tips
Proven gave are:

OBITUARY
ELAINE MARGARET MCCRORIE
(nee CAMERON)
Men and women filled with
avarice still prevail and endeavor
to diminish our lives. In my case,
they have dismally failed. Life
remains good. Elaine McCrorie
Elaine passed away
peacefully at her home in
Regina, Saskatchewan on Monday, September 12th, 2016.
Elaine was predeceased by her
adoring husband of 49 years, James
(Jim) Napier McCrorie.
She is survived by her
children Ian, Ann (Alistair Mackenzie) and Aaron
(Carmen Abela); and grandchildren Nicole, Liam, Jenna,
Kennedy, Reuben and Keira. Elaine was born and raised on
a farm near Moore Park, Manitoba by her parents Hector and
Olive Cameron (nee Grant). With her four siblings (Don, Neil,
Jean and Hector) she attended a small two room school, did
chores on the farm and, she was proud to note, created their
own entertainment.
In 1951, she had to leave the farm to complete high school
at Brandon College. In her own quiet and determined way,
Elaine was a trailblazer. She graduated from Brandon College with a B.Sc. in 1955. She entered the male dominated oil
and gas industry as a geophysicist, working in Calgary, Dawson Creek and Denver, Colorado. But she found the work and
work place culture to be stifling and frustrating. So she turned
to nursing as an opportunity to care for others, but also as a
means of funding her desire to travel. Elaine was a very proud
graduate of the Winnipeg General Hospitals (WGH) class of
1957.
In 1962, Elaine finally got to travel, visiting England, Norway, Belgium, Germany, and Spain. A highlight was water skiing in the Mediterranean she was always looking for adventure.
Upon her return to Canada she moved to Saskatoon, working at the University Hospital to save money for another adventure. But life had a different adventure in mind for her. It was
in Saskatoon that she met Jim and they married in 1964. Elaine
and Jim moved to Regina in 1965 and it was there that they built
a family and a life together. Elaine would work for 20 years in
the Emergency Room of the Plains Health Center and for several months during one memorable year at the Western General
in Edinburgh, Scotland. Elaine enjoyed travelling throughout
her life, including trips to China, Scotland, England, Australia,
New Zealand, Switzerland, Ireland, the Baltic nations, Mexico,
Iceland and through-out Canada (including Yellowknife).
Elaine was a lifelong golfer and during the last year no
cancer diagnosis was going to keep her off the course. The golf
course was also where Elaine taught her children and later her
grandchildren (with varying degrees of success) the importance of decorum and patience. She was equally passionate
about genealogy and traced one branch of the Cameron family
tree to 1621 in Ayrshire, Scotland. Somehow between golf and
genealogy, Elaine found time to knit and sew. For her grandchildren, no Christmas was complete without a new pair of
homemade pajamas. And her sweaters are still warming her
family and friends today.
Reflecting her prairie farm roots and personal experiences, Elaine believed in gender equality, universal day care and
equal rights for all. Elaine was always very proud of where she
came from and where she went. Elaine regularly attended the
WGH and Brandon College reunions. And she never lost her
sense of adventure one of her last flights was a biplane ride
over Ottawa. She was loved by her family and friends and will
be greatly missed.
A CELEBRATION OF ELAINES LIFE was held at the Hotel Saskatchewan (Blue Lounge) on Friday, September 16th,
2016 from 3:30 to 6:00. And then Elaine was taken home to be
interred in the Moore Park Cemetery on Saturday, September
17th, 2016 at 3:30. Family and friends are invited to sign the online obituary and tributes page at www.reginafuneralhome.ca.

Tips For Unclogging A Drain

seconds (not minutes) and
remove. The entire process
should take less than thirty
seconds. Hang the pants to
dry.
Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Hello Reena,
Can you please tell
me the best natural solution for unclogging a slow
kitchen drain? Im in a
condo, on the third of four
floors and the drain often
gurgles. Someone on my
Strata council suggested
using Liquid Plumber but
I would prefer something
more natural. I would appreciate any suggestion
you may have.
Catherine
Dear Catherine,
In a jar combine 2
tbsp. cream of tartar, one
quarter cup baking soda
and 1 tsp. salt. Drop in the
drain, chase with boiling
water. Repeat as necessary.
Or pour half cup salt down
the drain, followed by boiling water or vinegar. Extra
tip: Dont toss flat cola into
the garbage; instead pour
it into drains to keep them
fresh. If this is not effective
consider having the pipes
under the sink taken apart
and thoroughly cleaned.
Dear Reena,
I am an elderly woman
and wear Tena panty pads
because I leak so heavily. I also wear vinyl pull
on panties over them. Instructions say to wash and
dry; they are soft when
they come out of the dryer
but with five minutes they
become stiff and crackle
when I walk. Would you
or your readers know how
to treat the vinyl without
the fabric becoming stiff?
Mary
Dear Mary,
Unfortunately many
others have commented
that the vinyl cannot be
softened and regularly
stiffens after drying. However, try the following; fill
a tub less than half full
with lukewarm water. Add
two drops of a mild liquid
dishwashing
detergent
like Ivory and mix. Turn
the pants right side out
with the waist hanging
down. Slide them into the
water until they are completely covered. Swirl the
pants in the water for a few
Dear Reena,
I
do hope you can help
me. I wastreatingmy arthritic hands in a paraffin
wax bath and accidently
splashed some on one of
my beige suede dining
room chairs. I was able to
scrape some of it off, but
there is still a dark spot remaining. Do you have any
solution for removing the
stain?
Marlene
Hi Marlene,
You want to be careful
when cleaning the area not
to scorch it. Place a single
layer of brown paper on
the wax area and move a
warm iron over the wax.
Move the paper around
to soak up all wax. Next
sprinkle baking soda onto
the wax stain and brush
the area with a damp stiff
brush to restore the nap.
I found a way to encourage my five year old

to eat her peas. Start by
softening a container of
frozen yogurt or ice cream
by placing it on the counter
at room temperature for
15 minutes. Stir in a few
chocolate chips and a few
handfuls of frozen peas.
Re-freeze the yogurt and
eat.
Lawrence
My facial skin seems
much softer now that I
use a banana mask once a
week. Mash up a banana
and spread it on your face.
Leave for 10 mins. and
rinse.

Responsible water
stewardship is
everyones business.
Wetlands provide natural ood and drought protection as
well as many other benets to Manitobans. But these benets
are lost when small sloughs and potholes are drained. DUC
provides cash incentives to landowners to restore these areas.

Old Time Harvest

By DARRYL HOLYK
SUBMITTED
he Minnedosa Golf and Country Club hosted

the Senior Mens Two-man Fall Classic on Friday, September 9th. This was the third year that
the event has been held and it has grown in numbers each year. The 2016 Classic saw a total of 39
teams participating for a field of 78 players. Th e
front nine (holes one through nine) are played in
a two-man best ball format while the back nine is
played in a two-man scramble format resulting in
the team total.
In the Championship Flight, fi rst went to Rod
Klassen and Terry Lumsden with 68 countback.
In second were Keith Fawcett and Mel Beatty,
also with 68 countback. Third place went to Ken
Newman and Kevin Quesnel with 69 countback.
First Flight results saw Don Jackson and Barry Hooke in fi rst, Bill Moody and Larry Kidd in
second and Don Horner and Phil Lewis in third.
All had a score of 72 countback.
Craig MacDonald and Sean Vint took fi rst in
Second Flight followed by Barry and Wayne Tegg
in second and Dan Motuz and Robert Hendry in
third. All scored 77 countback.
In third Flight, Bob and Jack Manns came in
first with 81, Dale Szucki and Elgin Robertson in
second with 82 with Dennis LeClaire and John
Fayant in third with 83.
hile area farmers are

busy making their
way through their fields
in modern combines harvesting the 2016 crop, one
group recently turned back
the pages of time to demonstrate an old-fashioned
harvest.
Th e Starthclair Old
Iron Club hosted another
successful treshing event
on the weekend of September 17th and 18th, across
from the old auction mart.
Originally scheduled for
the weekend earlier, wet
weather brought a change
of plans.
Using real horse power, manual labour and
antique farm machinery,
area volunteers spent two
days taking off this years
crop using methods that
were common in the good
old days.
Th is annual demonstration is important for a
number of reasons. First
of all, it is educational for
members of the younger

generation to witness the
way harvesting was done
by their ancestors. Many
of todays young farmers
or farm children may only
know the methods of modern harvest using large, air
conditioned equipment
stocked full of modern
technology and computerized components.

The old time threshing
bee is also an opportunity
for those older generations
to reminisce about days
gone by. Many in attendance recalled similar harvests from their own past
- whether it was their own

harvest, or growing up on
the farm and assisting their
parents or grandparents
with stooking, binding and
threshing, terms which
are no longer common in
modern farming.
