Finally, the suave and mysterious Dirk Shadow and his sister Veronica have just arrived on the scene to hunt for Captain Schnook’s pirate treasure buried in the base - ment... or is it really just something left over from din - ner?

Leave it to the clever and

Seniors Helping Hands by Kathy Reid Sundowners Syndrome

For most of us, sun - set is an occasion we celebrate. It’s a time of transition from the often hectic energy of the day to the more subdued and relaxing nature of evening. But for many elderly people who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of demen - tia, it can be a time of increased memory loss , confusion, agitation, and even anger.

For family members who care for those with dementia, witnessing an increase in their loved one’s symptoms of dis - orientation at sunset can be nothing short of troubling, if not also painful, frightening, and exhausting. Common Sundowner’s triggers:

End-of-day activity (at a care facility). Some researchers believe the flurry of activity toward the end of the day as the facil - ity’s staff changes shifts may lead to anxi - ety and confusion.

Fatigue. End-of-day exhaustion or suddenly the lack of activity after the dinner hour may also be a contributor.

Low light. As the sun goes down, the

quality of available light may diminish and shadows may increase, making already chal - lenged vision even more challenging.

Internal imbalances. Some researchers even think that hormone imbalances or possible disruptions in the inter - nal biological clock that regulates cognition between waking and sleeping hours may also be a principle cause.

Winter. In some cases, the onset of win - ter’s shorter days wors - ens sundowning, which indicates the syndrome may have something to do with Seasonal Affective Disorder, a common depression caused by less exposure to natural sunlight.

The treatment of sundowners syndrome, just like its cause, is not well established. But there is hope in a num - ber of approaches that have helped calm down sufferers of the con - dition in the past.

Some of the more successful approaches to managing sundown - ers syndrome include: establishing a routine, monitoring diet, con - trolling noise, letting light in, medicating and taking supplements.

It is important to remember that sun - downers syndrome in your loved one is not something he or she can help. They are not pur - posely becoming agi - tated or angry or afraid as the afternoon leads to evening. Remaining calm will help you and

your loved one get through these some - times stressful moments.

The meals at Congregate Meals are March 30 - Pork chops; March 31 - Chicken Stew & biscuits; April 1 - Ham & Scalloped Potatoes and April 3 - no meal in Reston. On April 2, Pork chops are being served in Pipestone.

Please call Wilma in Reston at 204-877-3901 or Penny in Pipestone at 204-854-2901 to book your meals or for any questions.

This week’s activi - ties at Seniors Helping Hands are March 30 Handivan to Bear Claw at 9:00 a.m. and on April 1 - Exercises at 11:00 a.m. To join these activities or for any question about these or any other activity please call our office at 204-877- 3920.

The Jotbook Changes to the Thrift Sale

Following St. John’s Thrift Sale last fall, the com - mittee decided that they needed to reduce the work- load for this fund raiser. When all is said and done, it is approximately a 5 week commitment twice a year to run the sale. The decision was made to hold the fall sale only starting October 2015.

There will be an opportunity to move some larger items in the spring, however. St. John’s will be holding a consignment sale in conjunction with Yard Sale Saturday, May 30th. If you have just a piece or two and don’t want to hold your own sale, this is for you. The seller will set their own price, deliver to the parish hall and St. John’s will advertise and sell for you. The commission will be 30%. There will be no clothing sales. Watch the Recorder for advertising for this event.

Spring Break Spring Break for Fort La Bosse students is

Good Friday Just a reminder that we will have early deadlines

Dance Recital It was wonderful to see the packed gymnasium

for the dance recital last Sunday. Please watch next week’s paper for pictures and a write-up.

Difficult time Virden Collegiate braced for a difficult day on

Tuesday, March 24. It was the first day back at classes after the tragic loss of 16-year-old Zoe Lesy. Because there were no classes Monday, the high school started offering emotional support to students through the division’s Trauma Response Team on Tuesday. Zoe Lesy was a grade 10 student and a promising figure skater. She moved to Virden from Carnduff to focus on skating. Police have not yet determined what caused the accident but believed bad roads were a factor on Sunday, March 22. Our prayers are with her friends and family at this sad time.

Just for Laughs No dictionary has ever been able�to satisfactorily

define the difference between�“ complete ” and “ fin - ished. ” However,�during a recent linguistic confer - ence, held in London,�England, and attended by some of the best linguists in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was the�presenter when he was asked to make that very�distinction. The question put to him by a�colleague in the erudite audience was this: “Some say there is no difference between ‘complete’ and ‘finished.’ Please explain the difference in a way that�is easy to understand. ”

��Mr. Balgobin’s response: “ When you marry the right woman, you are ‘complete.’�If you marry the wrong woman, you are ‘finished.’ And,�if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are�“Completely finished.”

Artist in the School Reston School was pleased to have Randy Guest from Winnipeg visit their school on Friday, March 20. Randy has been an independent filmmaker for over 20 years. In that time, he has directed short films, music videos, corporate/promotional videos and documentaries. Shown: Grade 6 learning how to make films. PHOTO/ AMANDA GRAY

Campbell brings home silver at Special Olympics Continued from page 3 The first two periods of the gold medal game were very exciting. The score after

the first period was 2 - 0 and after two periods of play, it was 2 - 1 for the Wheat City Wings. Although the Wings played well in the third, they were overpowered by the Blue Devils and the final score was 9 - 2.

After all the competitions were completed, the athletes returned to the Village. Friends and family were able to eat with the athletes at the celebration supper. The games were officially closed and the evening ended with a dance. All of the athletes were in a festive mood, knowing they had given their all and were proud of their accomplishments.

Gold medal winners in all the A Divisions, in all of the sports, go to Newfoundland next year for the Special Olympic 2016 National Winter Games.

Stephen was in good company as one of his coaches and two of his fellow athletes have family ties in southwest Manitoba: Coach Nicole Wang - Pierson and Wayne and Shannon Bauche - Hartney.

Great year for Ramrod Cattle Co . Pictured above: Ramrod Cattle Co. of Medora received the Grand Champion Bull at the Manitoba Livestock Expo 2014 with Ramrod No Fear 302A. Tony Dekeyser is pictured with the banner and daughter Brittny is holding No Fear. Pictured below: Ramrod Payback 409B. This bull was Grand Champion Bull Calf and Overall Reserve Champion Bull at the Angus Summer Gold Show in Virden. PHOTOS / COURTESY RAMROD CATTLE CO .

by Judy Wells Ramrod Cattle Co. of

Medora is in its 32nd year of operation. The family business includes Tony and Jody Dekeyser and their children Tyler, Lacey and Brittny. As a family operation everyone takes part, depending on school and other commitments.

The purchase of four cows from the Dusty

Daele Angus Dispersal in 1983 was the beginning of Ramrod Cattle Co. Through the years pur - chases have been made from reputable breeders such as Lenlook Angus, Shondril Angus, Youngdale Angus, Kenosee Park and others.

“We now have about 160 head with most of these being Black Angus, a few Red Angus and 20 commercial cows,” said Jody.

Through the 30+ years of raising Angus, Ramrod has seen trends come and go from one extreme to the other and admit to making their share of mis - takes.

“However, we have found that by sticking to our goal of raising highly functional females, who wean as close to 50% of their body weight as pos - sible, and never concen -

trating on single traits, that we strive to produce cattle that live up to the expectations of their ancestors from long ago. Most of our females are sold by private treaty but we consign regularly to the Keystone Klassic Sale and are one of the original members of that sale. Our bulls are sold annually at t he Cowboys Angus Bull Sale at Taylor Auction, Melita, MB. This year the sale was March 28,” said Jody.

The business has had its share of success through the years but 2014 was its banner year!

Ramrod took home many top awards from the Angus Gold Show in Virden last summer:

• Grand Champion Heifer Calf

• Grand & Reserve Bred Heifer

• Champion 2 year old

and calf • Champion bull calf • Champion yearling

bull • Overall Champion

yearling bull - Ramrod No Fear 302A

• Reserve Overall Champion bull calf

• Reserve Overall Champion female - Ramrod Face 330A.

“Our summers are spent hooked up to a fifth wheel trailer and trav - elling as much of the sum - mer show circuit as pos - sible. Last year we also showed at Manitoba Livestock Expo and Agribition.”

They were also awarded the Manitoba Angus Purebred Breeder of the Year 2014 and were featured in the Manitoba Angus Outlook magazine.

“We feel very hon - oured to have been pre - sented with this award. It has special meaning being nominated by our fellow Angus producers, who like ourselves, have a love for good Angus cattle.”

Quote from a wise old cattleman, the late Dusty Van Daele (Grandpa): “Some of the smartest people I know are the ones that have made the most mistakes.”

2014 was a stellar year for Ramrod Cattle Co.

Tiger Talk by Meghan Caldwell

March has been a very busy month in the school with all of the Artists in the School activities, school trips, etc. The kids cannot wait to have their week off of school sur - rounded with family due to that the fact that Easter weekend falls into our Spring break here at Reston School.

The kindergarten to grade 5 students put on their own puppet show with the help from our Artist in the School. They had a 30 minute puppet show with puppets they created themselves and got to watch an interesting ventriloquist act starring our very own principal. Mr. Kristof wore a mask while Mrs. Colleen Anderson (Artist in the School) controlled the mouth movements. He was instructed to do different dances and say whatever she said. The kids loved it!

Tiger Talk Continued from page 7 While the kindergarten

to grade 5 classes were busy making puppets, the grade 6-8 classes were learning about film edit - ing with director, Randy Guest. Randy taught each class about movie mak - ing; every student did their own scene which will be edited and made into a movie. They also learned the details behind

the scenes and how to frame different shots. The movie will come back soon and everyone is excited to watch their scenes.

On March 20 and 21, The Reston School Drama Club presented “Th e Boardinghouse ”. There was a great turn out with approximately 170 people. Ticket sales will go towards creating improvements to the gym and stage here at our

Manitoba Beef Producers conducting membership needs survey � WINNIPEG �–�

Manitoba Beef Producers has launched a comprehensive survey of its membership.

�With a goal of improving the services MBP offers to members and learning what issues they feel the organi - zation should place a focus on, the survey will look at three main areas: MBP’s activities and services current challenges and risks and opportunities and challenges in the future.

�“By knowing our mem - ber’s needs, we can pursue policies and programs aimed at making Manitoba’s beef industry more sustainable into the future,” said MBP general manager Melinda German. “The opinions of our members will help guide Manitoba Beef Producers with our ongoing strategic planning processes on behalf of Manitoba’s beef industry.”

�MBP is hoping to reach as many producers as pos -

sible and would like to hear from all sectors involved in beef production. All infor - mation will be kept confiden - tial by Kelwin Consulting, who is conducting the survey on MBP’s behalf. Once the survey is complete, MBP will only see the summarized final results so producers are encouraged to speak can - didly. The surveys will be destroyed once the results are analysed.

�More than one member

of an operation can complete the survey which can be found online or in the March issue of Cattle Country. The online survey can be found at:www.surveymonkey.com/ s/MBP-Needs-Survey.

�The deadline to fill out the survey is March 23. To encourage participation, every person who completes the survey will be entered to win a two-night stay for two at the Holiday Inn in Winnipeg or the Canad Inn in Brandon.

�If there are questions regarding the survey, please call the MBP office at 1-800- 772-0458.

Funding to conduct the needs survey was provided to MBP by the Canada and Manitoba governments through Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial policy framework to advance the agriculture industry. For more on Growing Forward 2 see www.manitoba.ca/agri - culture/growing-forward-2 .

Bake 25 minutes or until set. When cooled, sprinkle icing sugar on the top. Refrigerate until it is firm, then cut into triangles, or cut into squares. If the Topping is only a light yellow, I have added a little yellow food colouring to make it more lemony in appearance. Enjoy!

Virden RCMP respond to fatal single-vehicle collision

On March 22, 2015, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Virden RCMP responded to a fatal collision on Harrison Bridge Road in the RM of Sifton, Manitoba. A passerby reported a vehicle partly submerged in the river. The local fire department was able to extract the driver from the vehicle. She was transported to local hospital.

The 16-year-old female driver, and only occupant of the vehicle, from rural Saskatchewan, was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

It is believed that poor weather and icy road con - ditions were contributing factors to this collision. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor. The deceased was wearing a seatbelt.

The investigation continues with the assistance of a RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist.

Brandon, MB - On behalf of the Honourable Erin O’Toole, Minister of Veterans Affairs, Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon- Souris, recently honoured the Government of Canada’s pledge to ensure that part-time Reserve Force Veterans have the support they deserve.

“Our Government is committed to providing all Veterans, Reserve or Regular Force, with the support they need and deserve,” said Maguire. “By improving benefits for injured part-time Reserve Force Veterans we are honouring and respecting their service and sacrifice.”

Proposed changes focus on Veterans Affairs Canada’s Earnings Loss (EL) benefit, which pro - vides income support for Veterans with service- related injuries while they are participating in the rehabilitation program or unable to be suitably employed.

Currently, part-time Reserve Force Veterans in receipt of the Earnings Loss Benefit are eligible for an annual EL benefit of $24,300. Beginning in April, all veterans of the Reserve Force eligible for the EL benefit will receive a minimum annual income of $42,426 (the current EL benefit of a basic Corporal in the Regular Force). Survivors of part-time Reserve Force Veterans who died as a result of service will also benefit from this change.

The Honourable Erin O’Toole, Minister of Veterans Affairs said, “All of Canada’s veterans, not just some, have earned the right to be treated with care, compassion and respect. We would not have been able to do 12 years in Afghanistan with -

out the Reserves. We hon - our our Government’s commitment to make the Earnings Loss Benefit the same for both Regular and Reserve Force Veterans. All Veterans who are injured or ill as a result of serving their country will be provided the same minimum level of income. This is the right and fair course of action.”

“We have listened and acted on the advice of the Veterans Ombudsman, the House Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs and the feedback I have received from vet - erans. This is yet another example of how we are taking action to improve services to veterans and their families.”

Pipestone, MB - Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon- Souris, announced on Thursday, March 19, that the Pipestone Drop In Centre will receive $4,346 in federal funding through the New Horizons for Seniors Program to replace a door, a window, insulate their building and install new carpet.

“I am pleased to be in Pipestone to announce Federal funding that will benefit the Drop In Centre,” said Maguire. “ I always enjoy coming to Pipestone and I know the seniors in the community are very dedicated in ensuring the Drop In Centre remains a warm and welcoming place to partake in activities.”

The New Horizons for Seniors Program supports projects up to $25,000 in grant funding. Funding can be provided to eligible organizations for com - munity-based projects that

are led or inspired by sen - iors. Since 2006, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded more than 13,000 projects in hun - dreds of communities across Canada.

Since elected, Maguire has worked closely with seniors in Westman, visited Pipestone numerous times and has announced federal funding for several projects across the region. Maguire has also supported the Conservative Government’s plan to lower taxes for sen - iors that will improve their quality of life. Since 2006, the Conservative Government has provided over $2.8 billion in annual tax relief to seniors and introduced the largest top- up to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) for the lowest income sen - iors in a quarter century.

Maguire has stated on numerous occasions that he will continue to work with colleagues in Ottawa to

improve the programs avail - able for Canadian seniors. He is honoured to be part of a team in Ottawa that is pro - viding tax relief and that Canada’s low-income rate for seniors has fallen from 21.4% in 1980 to 5.2% in 2011; one of the lowest rates in the industrial world. In 2014, a single senior can now earn at least $20,054 and a couple can earn at least $40,108 before paying federal income tax. As a result of the actions taken by the Harper Government, approximately 380,000 sen - iors have been removed from the tax rolls com - pletely.

“I will continue to stand up and be a strong voice for Westman, ” Maguire con - cluded. “ By working together we are getting results and I am proud to work with organizations like the Pipestone Drop In Centre that play such a piv - otal role in our community.”

Reston, MB - Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon- Souris, announced Thursday, March 19, that the Al-Res-Tone Drop In Centre will receive $10,842 in fed - eral funding through the New Horizons for Seniors Program to con - struct a ramp enclosure to provide a safe and healthy environment for Reston seniors.

“I am pleased to announce federal fund - ing that will benefit the Al-Rest-Tone Drop In Centre, ” said Maguire. “ It’s good to be in Reston once again to provide good news and I want to thank all the seniors who continue to be very active in their com - munity. ”

The New Horizons for Seniors Program sup - ports projects up to $25,000 in grant funding. Funding can be provided to eligible organizations for community-based projects that are led or inspired by seniors. Since 2006, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded more than 13,000 pro - jects in hundreds of com - munities across Canada.

Since elected, Maguire has worked closely with seniors in Westman, visited Reston numerous times and has announced federal fund - ing for several projects across the region includ -

“ I will continue to stand up and be a strong voice for Westman, ” Maguire concluded. “By working together we are getting results and I am proud to work with organizations like the Al- Res-Tone Drop In Centre that play such a pivotal role in our community.”
