They are so good! Artists unite in Harmony of Nations Local talent, Myron Hawrylak started the festival playing songs on his keyboard before the opening ceremonies got underway. Sandra Allan performed her song, Harmony of Nations during the opening ceremonies of the festival. Harmony of Nations opening ceremonies featured flags from Canada, United States, Metis Nation and First Nations as well as children dressed to represent their country and nation. Nick Sherman and his band Winterdark from Sioux Lookout, Ontario kicked off the performances at the Harmony of Nations Music Festival. Jean Paul DeRoover showcased his unique style of music called live looping where he creates layers of music with the use of technology to make a harmony of sound using vocals and beats. Back on Rainy Lake! Pictured from l. Andrew Mueller (acoustic guitar), Dave Wise (electric guitar), Emily Absolom (fiddle), Alex Marusyk (mandolin), and Marc Lovisa (drums) make up the band, Cornshed. Their music has to be experienced. It is an energetic blend of harmonies that come together to create a joyful energy that requires no drugs. Mueller, Marusyk and Lovisa are all hometown boys that now reside in Vancouver, British Columbia. artists as well.

Theresa Stenlund was pleased to be there. “Thank you for inviting us to participate and share our talent and culture”, she said adding that the festival represented an opportunity to “move forward together, striving for harmony”. Mayor Bob Anderson was there to bring greetings from International Falls. “We have the good fortune of celebrating two hundred years of a friendly border between United States and Canada”, he said. “We pledge to work together to bring economic success to both countries”. Deputy Mayor John Albanese was filling in for Mayor Avis who was on a rare one week medical leave. He welcomed the audience and performers to Fort Frances and beautiful Rainy Lake. He thanked the organizers and volunteers and encouraged everyone to have fun and stay safe. “Enjoy the festivities!” Local singer, songwriter Sandra Allan then kicked off the show with a beautiful song she wrote for the festival titled Harmony of Nations. She was accompanied by talented musician Myron Hawyrlak on keyboard. Then the lineup of performances started, each bringing their own unique style. The common thread was their pas- Local rapper from Couchiching First Nation, Jeremy Jordan a.k.a. Mack Sickz played a few songs that he wrote. He was joined on stage by fellow rapper Dubz. Award winning Metis fiddler, Sierra Noble stays true to tradition when playing Metis songs. sion for music, which was displayed in every artist and musician on stage. “We’re the first band to play the festival” noted an excited Nick Sherman who hails from Sioux Lookout, Ontario adding that he hoped the festival would go on for a long time as he sang his song, A New Ground. Jean Paul de Roover then took to the stage to showcase his music that he creates through sound looping with the use of technology. It creates layers of sounds that he establishes during the performance using vocals and beats. “This is an awesome tent and an awesome venue”, he said about performing at the festival. Local rapper from Couchiching First Nation, Jeremy Jordan who goes by the stage name Mack Sickz showcased his lyrical talent, explaining that “instead of falling into drugs and alcohol, I began writing lyrics instead”. He was joined on stage by fellow rapper, Dubz. Cornshed was next to the stage. The Vancouver, BC band has hometown roots with three band members, Andrew Mueller, Alex Marusyk and Marc Lovisa all hailing from Fort Frances. Their brand of music is hard to describe and must be experienced. It is high energy and full of joy. All I can say is that it had me smiling, clapping, and laughing…and wanting more. The Go Local flavour continued with a short set by talented guitarist Ben Sletmoen before Sierra Noble took the stage. Noble is a Metis fiddle virtuoso and songwriter from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She stays true to her Metis tradition when playing the songs that were taught to her by an eighty year old Metis man. “There was no sheet music. I just watched and learned”, explained Noble. “I like to keep them pure and keep them true”. Noble also played some of her own music including a song she wrote as her break up song with New York where she lived for a few years. It was Mike McCaig who then warmed up the crowd for the Friday headliner, Chad Brownlee. McCaig, who won last year’s Quest for the Best, once again wowed the audience with his incredible guitar and singing talent. Chad Brownlee who is an up and coming Canadian Country artist from Kelowna, British Columbia got the crowd on their feet from the moment he took to the stage. The charismatic, highly talented singer and musician was joined by his band and played a set of original songs and a couple of covers that had the audience Continued on page 2 Are you paying too much for your insurance?

Nothing that a a few hundred dollars and as many hours can't rectify. Marc Sharpe of Kenora prepares his P40 Warhawk for takeoff at the Rainy River FunFly. Sharpe also is a leader in developing radio controlled aircraft for aerial accident investigation and other police work. By Jack Elliott With over fifty radio controlled aircraft, thirty pilots and dozens upon dozens of spectators, the Fun Fly at Rainy River during RailRoad Daze on Saturday, July 19, 2014 was once again a rip roaring success. Radio Controlled -RC- aircraft enthusiasts travelled in from all over the upper mid west U.S. and central Canada to participate in this annual event featuring some of the best built and manned RC aircraft in North America and indeed the world. The Sky Hawks Club, a professional air show group from Mankato, MN are perennial attendees making this weekend one of their R&R events where they come to just fly, relax and enjoy. Their professional work can be seen in many WW II action films where those realistic in every detail war birds are actually their RC planes. Marc Sharpe from Kenora, formerly Rainy River, was on hand with some of his units. Sharpe is a leader in Canada developing RC aircraft to carry out video surveillance of accident scenes and other police work. He did a remarkable job piloting his model P40 Warhawk... Dan Fyfe of Winnipeg was flying his replica Mustang P51, a Warbird with a remarkable service record. Aerial acrobat shows, complete with smoke trails thrilled everyone. And there were a few spills. Rick Apitz of North Ulm, MN was one of several pilots that made a sacrifice to the ‘Turf God’ when his Russian Lavochkin LA-7 nosed over on landing and took out its prop. “There was even mud on the wing tip and a few cracks, but it will live to fly another day,” he shrugged with a smile as he considered the hundreds of hours and even more dollars that is involved in crafting these amazing machines. This Fun Fly event is a whole bunch of work that can be credited almost entirely to the efforts of Joan and Bill Hagarty, great ambassadors for the community of Rainy River. If you missed it this year, mark your calendar for next year’s FunFly, a rare chance to view a truly amazing show. by Jacquie Dufresne Monday night’s storm took quite a toll through the already water soaked Rainy River District. Huge limbs from adjacent trees on Fifth Street in Rainy River covered the houses in their respective yards and smashed a beautiful new deck as well as part of the house. There is a two story house on the right but it’s obliterated by the trees and The Westend Weekly office is on the left with a huge limb balanced on the roof. (Yes I know it isn’t in the picture I didn’t back up far enough.) If you see a Volunteer Fire Fighter or a Town of Rainy River crew employee on the street, wave and say thank you. They were out again in Rainy River manning the pumps trying to get rid of the water that was filling some basements. These people work all day at their jobs, then sometimes work all night to ensure the comfort and safety of residents, and still arrive at work in the morning to look forward to a long day. They really are heros. Safety Ensured at 2nd Annual Splash and Dash With the lake levels starting to drop the Splash and Dash race committee has been busy ensuring that the venue at Point Park will be ready for August 17, 2014 for swimmers and runners. We want to let people know that with the situation down at Point Park and with the Government Dock the race committee will be working with the town to ensure that the water and course are safe for participants.

The four courtyards are maintained by volunteers from the Horticultural Society, Kiwanis Club of Fort Frances, United Native Friendship Centre and the Older Adults Program (Canadian Mental Health Association). There was lemonade, iced tea and a variety of home-make cookies and treats for everyone to enjoy! Katelyn Browley, aged five, checked in for the garden party. Carla Basaraba, Kiwanis President, served lemonade to the guests. Elders Pickett and Quist volunteered their time to assist residents at the garden party, including Katherine who has been at Rainycrest for about fourteen years. “This is home”, she said. “It’s nice and it’s quiet here”. Isla was joined by her daughters Judy and June who were visiting from Winnipeg and British Columbia. She was anxious for her grandsons to arrive too. A family affair! Margaret-Ann Hudson (pictured right), President of the Rainycrest Hospital Auxiliary joined her daughter, Heather Hudson, Activation Coordinator and granddaughter, Chloe Hudson who also came out to volunteer at the garden party. 96 years young! Dorothy Caul has lived at Rainycrest since January 23rd. “It’s wonderful! I always said I wanted to come here when I couldn’t do everything myself”, she noted. “The nurses work hard, hard, hard. They spoil me. They heat up my tea and bring me cookies. I never thought it would be this wonderful”, added Caul who is no stranger to working hard having lived on a farm. Ann Ostby, Past President of the Horticultural Society showcases one of the gardens in the courtyard. As the membership of the Society is getting older, Ostby noted that they get help from the Girl Guides to maintain their courtyard. Pat Mosley who has been a resident since the winter joined Rainycrest Auxiliary volunteer Ruth Caldwell for some bannock and blackberry jam at the UNFC courtyard. “Now that I’m used to it, I like it”, reported Mosley about living at Rainycrest. Caldwell, who is a former Librarian, reads to the residents every Saturday. She is currently reading the Anne of Green Gable series. Town of Rainy River Pictured from l.

Phone 218-373-2695 Unfortunately, Ossachuk could not stop in time and had nowhere to go. Leek was spun, and sent to the back for causing the caution. On the ensuing restart, Rea had the top spot. DePiero made his move for the lead and Lambert followed. The battles continued for third place as Rea, Ossachuk and Perry fought sometimes three wide. The top two continued to pull away as another caution came out due to Brody Strachan falling off the track. On the final restart, DePiero and Lambert continued to pull away but Lambert was unable to mount any challenge. Meanwhile, Leek moved his way back up to third place after having restarted tenth. Depiero claimed his third feature of the year with Lambert and Leek finishing out the top three. The Street Stock feature was missing a couple cars due to mechanical troubles in the heat race. Kyle Godin and Jeff Wickstrom both suffered from engine problems and were unable to start. Gamsby passed Shine at the beginning of the race and gained a substantial lead but as Wilson moved up from his starting position of fourth, that lead started to shrink. Within five laps, Wilson had caught up to the leader and a side by side battle took place for many laps. Wilson stated after the race that the power steering went out and that was when the real fun started. With a handful of laps left, there was a caution for a spin. The restart allowed Gamsby to gain a large lead, but with just a lap to go, the caution came out once more. Green, white checkered would have to solve this battle. Wilson did everything he could to get by Gamsby, but was unable to do so. Gamsby was quite elated about the win and By: Anthony Leek For the first time since the May 24th season opener, there was no threat of rain for Saturday night racing at the Emo Speedway and anyone could tell by looking at the largest crowd of fans in the stands for 2014. The amazing crowd was witness to some great racing during the beautiful evening in Borderland. Ten WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds started out the night’s racing for AMSOIL Dirt Track Racing Series Action. Split into two heats, the Midwest Modifieds had Matt DePiero start outside pole and finished first, while Christopher Leek claimed second spot having beat veteran Dwayne Pihulak. In the second heat, Chuck Lambert started on the pole and finished for a win, while Cody Ossachuk finished runner up and Ken Perry rounded out third. The Street Stocks enjoyed their highest car count of the year with Tylar Wilson in a new car starting dead last at ninth place to take the win. Kendal Gamsby finished second, while Chris Shine finished third. In the WISSOTA Modifieds, Ron Korpi started on the pole and held on to win over Gavin Paull and Tyler Brown. The WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds were up first for their feature race. On the pole were Ossachuk and Jake Rea. As the race started, Ossachuk took the early lead, but coming onto the front stretch, Rea jumped up front. Ossachuk then had to deal with both Perry and Christopher Leek for second. Perry fell back a spot as Leek took third. Four laps in, Rea continued to lead while Leek took second. Coming to turn one Rea checked up leaving both Leek and Ossachuk having to break hard. 12 Shorewood Drive EM MPLOY YEE ** IT T’S S BA ACK RICK G.

Smith played in Thunder Bay the previous night and was heading to Kenora for a gig. By the end of the evening, it was evident that Smith had earned a group of enthusiastic fans that were eager to buy her CD’s, get an autograph and a photo. Smith was gracious and appreciative of the support she received. The acoustic show features Smith on guitar and vocals. She is accompanied by bass player, Ken Ross. “I call him Ken the Zen”, joked Smith about her bandmate. Sarah’s music has emotionally charged lyrics that deal with love and courage and finding oneself. Her voice is a mix of Melissa Etheridge and Bonnie Raitt, two artists that Smith reveals have become influences for her. One can’t forget about Janis Joplin when thinking about raspy voiced rockers, which Smith showcased when she sang her rendition of “Me and Bobby McGee”. She also had the crowd singing and clapping along as she did a cover of Bob Marley’s “Everything’s gonna be alright”. I haven’t been able to stop listening to the song, Into the Light which is on Smith’s latest CD, The Journey. It was produced in Germany by world-class producer, Pat Anthony who has also produced for Usher. Her debut solo CD, Stronger Now, was produced in Canada by Grammy and Juno winning Producer, Kevin Doyle who has also produced for Alannah Myles and Ann Murray.

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription was out of breath even thirty minutes after the event. The WISSOTA Modifieds were also missing two cars from the heat as Lindsay Bourre and Jake Rea suffered mechanical issues. Veterans Gary Wilson and Ron Korpi started on the front row. Wilson took the early jump against the rest of the field, but lightning fast Gavin Paull had already moved from the sixth starting position into the second spot. It was only another lap and Paull passed Wilson. From that point on, the five time track champion never looked back. Even with a late caution, Paull was still able to easily pull away for his third win in a row. Brown finished in the second spot with Steve Nordin taking third. Racing resumes this Saturday night July 26th with the Candy-Man at intermission. Hot laps at 7:00 pm and racing at 7:30 pm.

Although noting that the audience changed and the music changed over the years, she kept writing. “I always wrote whatever popped into my head, much like dreams. I didn’t lump myself into one genre of music”, she explained. “Lots of artists have recorded my music, which is a huge compliment”. The musical icon enjoys life. “I let life happen”, she says which is demonstrated in the ease with which she talks and shares her story. She is a woman comfortable in her own skin who still looks amazing at the age of seventy three. Another piece of wisdom for songwriters, “Write songs you really believe in and really like. Don’t let the political part and the payola part take over. If you want a career in music, play everywhere. Play music. Learn more than three chords. Play with others and learn from others. Keep growing”. She also recommended that people become aware of what is going on in the world. “If you know what’s going on in the world, it frees you”, she said. She shared her passion for the Cradleboard Teaching Project she is involved with that aims to bring Native curriculum to the classroom. “We try to provide accurate, enriching and engaging curriculum about natives in all subjects”, she explained about the project that has been adopted into colleges. “There are great things going on in the undercurrent of education right now. Native educators are being put into the driver’s seat of delivering native content in schools”. What’s next for Buffy Sainte-Marie? “Well, I’m going to play a concert tonight”, she laughs. “Then I have to leave at four in the morning to go to Winnipeg to catch a flight from Winnipeg to Sweden then Scotland”. How does she stay so active? “Take care of yourselves. There are many ways better than how they tell you to do it through advertising”, she points out. “I take ballet. It keeps me strong. I lead a very arduous life but I keep myself feeling good. I don’t drink. I never have. I didn’t like the taste of alcohol. I have an organic garden and avoid pesticides”. She seeks out good and nutritious food instead of avoiding bad foods. “I feel like I did in my twen- ties. I feel good. I can kickass”, she laughs. “My favourite food is kale. I’ve been cooking a lot of kale”. It seems the visionary musician has never been afraid to live to the beat of her own drum. “I was teaching digital art and music in the eighties. People just thought I was weird”, she laughs. Again she warned about not letting people bind you into one thing. “The folk police or the jazz police are always try- ing to box people in”. So, how can we create a harmony of nations? “Whenever you’re talking or sharing, remember it didn’t only happen to us. Genocide happened to people in Hawaii, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. It was due to bad leadership and greed. They were getting screwed by the same people who screwed us for a long time. There are forces that exploit us, not only us. It’s happening everywhere”. Another bit of advice. “Don’t put your doo doo on a shelf. Get rid of it because there will be more coming”. She ended her talk with a message she has adopted from the Dalai Lama, “We all have the most important tool for peace. Do you know what it is? It is your smile”. With that, Buffy Sainte-Marie was treated to a standing ovation from a smiling audience. She was then presented with a Wayne Yerxa print from Chief Sara Mainville of Couchiching First Nation. Sunshine and Coconut Gabriel Mooney, MS, RD, LD, Baudette, MN Coconut oil is starting to create a buzz in the nutrition world. I am sure many of you have heard some of the claims and uses for coconut. I want to shed some sunshine on this food - its terms, uses and how it affects our health. I use sunshine in the title for a few reasons. One is because coconuts need an abundance of sunshine to grow. Another reason is that I thought of this article topic while I was on my honeymoon with coconuts being plentiful because of all the sunshine, and lastly because it makes for a catchy title because of the small amount of sunshine here this summer. There are a number of different terms when referring to coconut. The first one is coconut water. This has received a lot of attention for its ability to rehydrate the body. Coconut water is the fluid inside the coconut you can hear splashing around before it is cracked open. At times during WWII, it was used in IVs for hydration. It is one of the best drinks for hydration because of its amount of potassium, which is equal to about 1 banana. It also contains around twice the amount of sodium that you would find in one cup of Gatorade. It has some great health benefits including having 3 g fiber, 2 g protein, and 6% of the calcium you need in a day. It also contains 15% of your needed magnesium and manganese per cup, and it is lower in carbohydrates than most beverages because it has 9 g per cup. Coconut milk does not get as much news coverage in the health world because it is primarily used for cooking. This milk is made by crushing the meat of the coconut in warm water. It is a white, rich, and milky looking liquid. It has a much higher calorie and fat content than coconut water. In fact one cup of coconut milk has 550 calories and 57 g fat (most of it saturated fat). It has more calories and fat than whipping cream! Coconut oil has been in the spotlight recently because of its claim for heart health despite its high saturated fat content, which is the type of fat that raises cholesterol. Coconut oil has more saturated fat than butter. Butter has a saturated fat content of 70% and coconut oil has 92%! It is recommended to have less than 10% of your fat to be saturated. The hype of coconut being healthy comes from the molecular structure of its fat. Most saturated fats are long chain fatty acids which are bad. The fats from coconut are medium chain fatty acids. These fatty acids can be beneficial to your health. At this time there is still discrepancy as to how healthy coconut oil is. We know it will raise good cholesterol, which is a positive to your health, but it will also do the same to your bad cholesterol, which is harmful to your health. Science shows us it is healthier than butter, but is not the wonder oil many may think it is. Coconut meat is the white flesh of the coconut. This meat is 84% fat, a 2x2 inch square of the meat has 160 calories and 15 g of fat. It has the properties of the coconut milk and oil but has more fiber with 4 g. The meat is normally used for cooking, baking, and granola type products. Or it can be eaten as a treat on a vacation like it was for me. To sum it all up, coconut can help contribute to a healthy diet, but does not make a diet healthy. I do not encourage that you place coconut into your diet just for health benefits because there are many other foods that should be added before coconut. It has some great healthy components such as its water, but the meat and oil need to be consumed in moderation because of the high calorie and saturated fat content. Even if you can’t go to someplace tropical, I hope I could bring a little tropical to you while you learned all about coconut. Feel free to enjoy some tropical food (coconut) in your diet but remember to love yourself by loving what you eat!

First time FFCBC fisherman, Mike Gate of Nestor Falls gets ready for some pre-fishing with his teammate Chris Gibbons of Morrison. This is Gibbons’ fifth time in the FFCBC. He garnered a top 20 spot once before and is looking to do it again this year.

For five dollars admission, kids of all ages can enjoy a music dance party with local Soundman Brian Harris under the Big Tent. “The FFCBC supports local businesses”, explained Watson as to the rationale for moving away from the Much Music Dance Party. “The money is spent locally as much as possible”. The FFCBC is also an opportunity for local organizations to benefit. This year, the Fort Frances Curling Club is hosting a comedy night on Thursday featuring performers from Yuk Yuk’s. Tickets are twenty-five dollars at the door and twenty dollars in advance. Distant Legacy, a local band, is also set to play after the comedians. The fun is set to start at 8:00 p.m. “The curling club will receive all revenue from this show”, reports Watson. Of course the weigh-ins are also part of the fun at the FFCBC and the eighty teams vying for top prize will be hitting the stage daily on Thursday, Friday and Saturday starting at 3:30 in the afternoon (3:00 on the final day) to see how they fare. Emcee Jason Gauthier who works for Lund Pro enjoys bringing his love of fishing to audiences. “Just being able to help in bringing the fun and exciting sport of angling into the lives of people that may not always have the chance to experience it brings a smile to my face”, says Gauthier. The popular Quest for the Best is also set to take to the stage under the Big Tent on Friday night with a full line-up of contestants aiming to be crowned the winner. This entertaining evening showcasing local talent is hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Watson is also excited to be bringing back the band Pop Rocks on Saturday night who performed last year to a packed tent. The group is hugely entertaining and had the crowd dancing to cover tunes they perform from the 80’s and 90’s. (Reporter’s note: They are really, really good and worth coming to see!!!) The Kiwanis Club of Fort Frances will once again have their Steak Dinner barbecue on Saturday night during the weigh-ins. The eighty teams fishing this year are still a mix of local and professional anglers hoping to kick some bass and be one of the lucky ten finalists to parade through the tent on Day 3 of the tournament. Last year, it was local team Karl Wolff and Ryan Hyatt who took home a second place finish and will be back at it again in the hopes of taking the coveted top spot. Last year’s champions, Jeff Gustafson and John Peterson will also be in the hunt. Well-known and past multichampions, Joe Thrun and Jim Moynagh will also be setting out on Rainy Lake in an attempt for another first place finish. Local pro angler, Bryan Gustafson will be fishing this year with Brandon McMillan a professional bass fisherman from Clewiston, Florida who picked up sponsorships for the 2014 Season from G-Loomis and Shimano. And, don’t miss out on a chance to win a boat and trailer prize package at this year’s tournament. The La Verendrye Hospital Auxiliary is organizing the raffle and will be selling tickets up until the prize is drawn on Saturday night. Tickets are ten dollars each and in- clude a couple of second and third cash prizes. Volunteers are still needed to ensure a smooth running event and a sign-up down at the tent is planned for this evening (Wednesday) at 5:00 p.m. For more information about this year’s Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship go to www.canadianbass.com or contact Gord Watson at 807.274.2028. Good luck to all the anglers fishing is this year’s FFCBC. Hope to see everyone down at the Big Tent!!! Just being able to help in bringing the fun and exciting sport of angling into the lives of people that may not always have the chance to experience it brings a smile to my face. Moos by Kim Jo Bliss Now this is the weather that we have all been waiting for! Bring it on and please don’t complain about it being too hot – this is long overdue and won’t last long enough! I was away most of last week in New Liskeard. I had a 2 day meeting but it took me 2 days (almost 3) of travel. I drove to Thunder Bay then flew to Toronto, then to Timmins and drove the rest of the way. In a roundabout way – I made it! All in time for our cooler, damp temperatures to arrive there. We darn near froze visiting the New Liskeard Agricultural Research Station but we had a good tour despite the weather. Timiskaming has some beautiful farm land and they have some great looking crops. I was attending the summer meeting for the Beef Farmers of Ontario so it was great for the folks from the South see all that is possible in Northern Ontario. It is a goal of mine to have the summer meeting in Rainy River District at some point. We have all kinds of great things happening in Rainy River and the Agriculture Industry is a huge part of this district but we tend to be over-looked. We are finally in the haying mode full swing at home! Thankfully my mom, dad and boyfriend/partner have been putting in a lot of time. I wish I was able to pay them for all their hard work but they will just have to settle for good, home raised meat! It is so nice to have my dad healthy enough to work – I know I don’t show my appreciation nearly enough and I am as guilty as anyone for taking things for granted! Since the weather was looking like rain – I ended up raking some hay so that we could be sure that it dried and we could bale. Instead of unhooking the discbine – we have been using Nanny’s old 8N Ford tractor for raking. Wow, is that hard on the back!!! No complaints because it got the job done, but I sure can fill it! Looking forward to a good week of dry hot weather and lots of hay making!!! Maddie and Marlee are anxious to get working with their fair animals and I have to stall them for a bit just to get more hay made. As always, everything happens at the same time! I am hoping to see everyone next week on our Soil & Crop Tour and the Research Station Open House. The word is out that we need to send a clear message that we want to see the Station open and running in the future so it is very important that we have good support at our events next week. We have some dignitaries attending and they will certainly spread the word! Schedule Thursday July 31, 2014 9:00 a.m. we will leave the Emo Agricultural Research Station and head to Stratton where we will visit Scott Mc- Nabb’s tillage / corn. 10:30 a.m. Bill Roymn’s soybeans, 11:45 a.m. we will eat our lunch (Please bring your own lunch) at Morley Park, 1:00 p.m. we will visit Timo Brielmann’s soybeans, 2:15 p.m. Mark Hussers corn and then at 3:30 p.m. we will stop in at Larry Lambs and look at his soybeans. We will try arranging the tour to drive past as many other crops as possible. It is going to be a tight schedule so we will do our best to stay on time! Then at 7:00 p.m. we will host our Open House at EARS! We will tour our plots and we will serve light refreshments. Tom Beach from Kemptville College attending, Harold Rudy from Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association, Allan Mol President of Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association, Horst Bohner – soybean specialist with OMAF, Madeleine Smith from the University of Minnesota are all attending as well – along with all our special people from our own district!!! I certainly hope to see everyone! Bauman’s Construction All types of cement work: floors, walls, driveways, sidewalks, basement repairs.
