I
n the early hours of Oc-
tober 21st, Rapid City
residents, fire crew and
town officials stood on the
edge of a smoldering pile
of rubble and watched as
smoke streamed from the
skeletal remains of what
had been their town of-
fice and fire hall.
Tom English, local
Rapid City Firefighter for
28 years, has seen a lot of
rural fire calls, but never
thought that he would
find himself on the other
end.
As fire inspectors
dug through piles of fire
hoses, oxygen tanks and
the entire contents of a
small town fire hall, Eng-
lish watched the smoke
slowly spill from the pile
of ashes wear his turnout
gear once sat.
Now I understand
how it feels to be the one
on the other side of the
call. To be the person that
has to stand and watch
and there is nothing to do
but wait for help to come,
said English.
English, along with
his family and other Rap-
id City firefighters, had
been at the scene since
the smoke was first spot-
ted rising out of the build-
ing just after midnight on
Monday, October 21st.
I had already gone
to bed and another fel-
low from the other end
of town woke me up and
he said there was smoke
coming out of the fire hall.
I got dressed and came up
and sure enough, there
was a lot of smoke, ex-
plained Morley Cornish,
Rapid City Fire Chief.
It was devastating.
We couldnt do anything.
All of our equipment was
in the hall; all we could
do was wait for Rivers,
our mutual aid district
partner to come in, said
Cornish.

Y
ellowhead Regional
Employment Skills
and Services was placed in
a dif cult position earlier
this year when they were
informed that government
funding they count on
would not be arriving.
Currently, the of ce
continues to function and
provide its regular services
to the community, but at
the same time is working
with Minnedosa and sur-
rounding R.M. to look for
a solution for longer-term
funding.
YRESS representatives
have been approaching
Minnedosa and surround-
ing area councils asking
for f nancial support to
assist in covering the Fed-
eral short fall. YRESS has
approached the commit-
tees with proposed fgures
based on the number of
clients and users coming
from each municipality.
YRESS is currently
able to continue to ofer
employment assistance
service to the communities
within our service area and
has been able to secure the
funds required to operate
until the end of this cal-
endar year. Because of the
change in federal funding,
obtaining the additional
funds required for YRESS
to remain in operation is
still ongoing, explained
Sarah Schwartz, represen-
tative for the YRESS board
of directors.
Schwartz noted that
reception from the various
committees has been fairly
positive and many see the
value in the services pro-
vided and do believe it is
an essential service to the
area.
Our provincial fund-
ing partners have demon-
strated their continuous
support for YRESS, having
increased their initial con-
tribution by 10 percent.
Te board of directors ap-
preciates the support re-
ceived to date and contin-
ues to share with the towns
and municipalities within
the service area in order to
secure the funds required
for YRESS to continue
operating in its present
form in 2014, continued
Schwartz.
Te future for YRESS
beyond the 2014 is unclear
at this time, but the board
of directors is hopeful that
they will be able to secure
funding and will not have
to make any cutbacks on
the services they ofer.
Right now we are at-
tempting to function as
status quo and once we
know a little bit more, we
will have a better sense
of direction of where we
will go in the future, said
Schwartz.

I
n Canada, every year
1,000 people are diag-
nosed with Multiple Scle-
rosis. An auto immune ill-
ness, MS is a disease that
af ects the brain, spinal
cord and central nervous
system, the bodys im-
mune system incorrectly
identif es the bodys own
tissue as a target of the at-
tack.
If you dont know
anyone living with MS or if
you have never worked in
a health care facility, you
dont realize how many
people actually have MS.
In Manitoba we have over
3,000 people living with
MS, Canada wide there are
55,000 -75,000 people are
living with MS, explained
Katharine Yurkiw, client
services manager with the
Westman Chapter of MS
Society of Canada.
Tis year the MS So-
ciety-Westman Chapter is
bringing an informative
conference to Brandon
and area in order to pro-
mote discussion and cre-
ate a gathering place for
those living or afected by
MS.
Tis conference is a
f rst-time event for Bran-
don and it is the only MS
conference in Manitoba.
We have a great lineup of
speakers and this is also
a really good time for in-
dividuals to connect with
each other. Often times
when you have individuals
who are newly diagnosed,
they are really looking for
answers and sometimes
the best person to talk to
is somebody else with MS,
said Yurkiw.
T e conference will
kick of with keynote
speaker, Dr. Micheal Cos-
soy, assistant professor of
neurology at the depart-
ment of medicine at the
University of Manitoba.
Cossoy will discuss
the current knowledge of
the dif erent types of MS
and the transition between
relapsing-remitting and
progressive disease. Dis-
cussions will then move on
to how this knowledge af-
fects the ability to provide
disease-modifying thera-
pies.
Dr. Cossoy is basical-
ly going to talk about the
four diferent types of MS
and also how your neurol-
ogist develops a treatment
plan based on the type or
phase of MS that you have.
We also have Janine Rivest,
a local pharmacist com-
ing in to talk about travel-
ling with your MS medica-
tions.
Attendees will also
hear from Soren Trotman,
clinical counselor and Liz
Wolf, marriage and family
therapist, who will discuss
the impacts a MS diagno-
sis has on family life. How
roles are redefned as well
as tips on prevention and
management of caregiver
distress and the necessary
commitment to personal
wellbeing.
I think that that is a
really pivotal point. One
thing caregivers all have in
common, no matter what
disease they are dealing
with, is that they are all
caregivers and there are
stages of grief that they
may go thru. And it is
not just the caregiver but
the entire family, added
Yurkiw.
Michelle Driedger, as-
sociate professor from the
University of Manitoba will
also discuss the CCSVI and
endovascular treatments.
Tis presentation will
explore comments that
were made during inter-
views with a variety of
stakeholders as part of a
larger study examining un-
certainty in health policy
decision making. Inter-
view participants include
a wide-range of MS advo-
cacy groups, MS clinician
and civil servants working
in department of health.
It is really important
to get talking. A huge part
of this conference is that it
allows people to feel that
they are not alone and
gives them the opportu-
nity to talk with people in
similar situations. It con-
nects people that have
questions with those who
have the answers. Many
times people have ques-
tions about research or
why certain things are be-
ing conducted the way that
they are, why neurologist
choose certain treatment
methods, this is their op-
portunity to get some an-
swers, said Yurkiw.
Previously MS confer-
ences were held in Winni-
peg every second year, this
will be the frst-time the
MS Society is holding the
conference outside of the
province capital.
Te Westman Chap-
ter services a huge area.
We wanted to bring the
event to Brandon in or-
der to really reach beyond
boarders. I think that it is
important that we dont
always go to Winnipeg. We
need to be present in Bran-
don in order to serve the
smaller communities as
well, added Yurkiw.
Te conference will be
held on Saturday, October
26th at the Victoria Inn in
Brandon. For more infor-
mation or to register, visit
www.mssociety.ca/mani-
toba.
We really encour-
age everyone to come out,
those af ected by MS as
well as family and sup-
port members and any-
one interested in gath-
ering some knowledge
about MS. We really want
to make this a community
event and being the frst
time in Brandon, getting a
good response means that
we would be able to do it
again in the future.

Editors note: What follows is a letter by Mayor Ray
Orr which was sent to Mr. Scott Tompson, President
and CEO of Manitoba Hydro earlier this week. Copies
of this letter have also been sent to the Honourable
Dave Chomiak, Minister of Innovation, Energy and
Mines and Joe Masi, Executive Director for the Asso-
ciation of Manitoba Municipalities.
Dear Sir,
I
am writing to express the concern of the Council of
Te Town of Minnedosa regarding the recently an-
nounced plans to shut down 24 rural Manitoba Hydro
of ces, some in 2014 and, in our case, 2017.
We believe this decision will have a negative im-
pact on our community. Te staf involved will have
a longer commute to get to work. Our citizens, want-
ing to do business with Hydro, will have to deal with a
regional of ce located in Neepawa, MB. We are con-
cerned that the local capacity to deal with outages or
other service issues will be compromised. As well, re-
location of these jobs could certainly result in the in-
cumbents deciding to move to where the work is. Tat
scenario would impact our local economy, and not in
a good way!
We are not suggesting that we shouldnt be on the
lookout for ef ciencies and savings, but at what cost?
At some point, does the collateral damage outweigh
the beneft of the dollars saved?
In our case, we will be part of a Province wide
savings, estimated by Hydro to be $2 million per year.
Tose things noted in the second paragraph above will
result. As well, a perfectly good building in Minnedo-
sa will become surplus, and a new building will have
to be built in Neepawa.
One cannot help but ask if there are other areas of
the operation where savings could be better achieved
without the negative impact of this approach?
Some years ago there was a move by the Govern-
ment of the day to decentralize selected services. Tis
was a boom to the rural economies. Todays direction
seems to be the opposite with the consequences not-
ed above becoming very much a factor.
We strongly urge management of Manitoba Hy-
dro to revisit this decision and this approach in gen-
eral. We ask that more consideration be given to the
sustainability of rural economies outside of the major
centres. Tey are all part of our makeup, and in the
grand scheme of things keeping them in a healthy
state should be as much of a beneft to the ongoing vi-
ability of the Province as is saving a few dollars at their
expense.
For your information, a copy of this letter will
be sent to the editors of Te Minnedosa Tribune, Te
Brandon Sun and to Te Winnipeg Free Press.
T ank you very much for your consideration.
Yours truly,
Ray Orr
Mayor, Town of Minnedosa
Council asking Hydro to revisit decision

W
ith the amount
of traf c moving
across the countrys rails,
accidents are bound to
happen. But are these in-
cidences mere statistics
or should Canadian rail
safety and regulations be
reassessed?
According to local
and federal of cials, re-
examining the Canadian
rail system and danger-
ous goods regulation, is
quickly becoming a top
priority. Canadas Trans-
portation Safety Board has
even stated that, long-
standing federal transport
laws have not kept pace
with the surge of explosive
oil now being transported
on our rails.
Expansion of fossil
fuel extraction in North
America has abruptly
transformed how and
what our rail system is be-
ing used for.
Te oil industry in
Canada has begun to ex-
tract oil in areas that are
not served by pipelines.
Pipelines require detailed
planning and are often de-
toured by regulations and
on occasion environmen-
tal protests, leaving many
of these goods to be trans-
ported by train.
According to trans-
portation of cials in 2009,
about 500 carloads of oil
were transported by train.
Tis year, 140,000 carloads
are forecast to be moved
by rail.
Recent Incidences
Te recent devasta-
tion in Lac-Megantic,
Quebec was a sobering re-
minder of the reality that
exists in the process of
moving dangerous goods.
Te accident also put reg-
ulators in the spotlight as
a number of requirements
were missed or utilized
improperly.
On July 6th, 47 peo-
ple died and surround-
ing ground and water was
left heavily polluted after
72 tank cars derailed and
exploded in the centre of
Lac-Megantic, just a little
after midnight.
Te train, which origi-
nated from a Bekken oil
feld in North Dakota, was
carried as far as Montreal
by CP Rail and was then
transferred to a smaller
rail company, the Mon-
treal, Maine and Atlantic
Railway.
Te train was trans-
ported to Lac-Megantic
where it was stationed
overnight just hours be-
fore the deadly derailment
and explosion.
After the crash, upon
investigation, it was noted
that the train was not ade-
quately braked and Trans-
port Canada reported that
the rail lines in the train
yard, where the train was
stationed, were defective
or sub-standard.
In addition, the
Transportation Safety
Board also discovered
that the train was IDd
and labelled incorrectly.
Te contents should have
been labelled a class-two
hydro carbon, as opposed
to a class-three.
Te Transportation
Safety Board notes that
while the change in class
may not have triggered
any additional require-
ments or precautions, it
may have prompted addi-
tional care when securing
the train.
According to the
safety board, the importer
and exporter are required
under Canadian Trans-
port Law to ensure that
the goods are properly la-
belled. Importers are re-
sponsible for making sure
that paperwork accurately
describes the contents
that are being shipped.
Companies that do
not oblige can be pros-
ecuted under the Trans-
portation of Dangerous
Goods Act, and in some
cases can face up to two
years in prison or fnes up
to $50,000.
T e growth of oil
transportation on our rails
has created numerous
problems, to which the in-
dustry is rapidly attempt-
ing to adjust. Tanker cars
are in such demand that
rail operators have been
reluctant to retire older
rolling stock, which has
been noted to be a factor
in a number of serious de-
railments.
For instance, the
cars that derailed in Lac-
Megantic, Quebec, were
DOT-111 cars, which are
the most commonly used
tankers for shipping oil
on the rails. United States
transportation regulators
have identifed ruptures
in these cars as a concern
in a number of serious rail
accidents.
Two years ago, DOT-
111 manufacturers intro-
duced more puncture-
proof tankers, but they are
not being produced quick-
ly enough to keep up with
booming rail shipments of
oil and only account for
about one-quarter of cars
in use.
Te most recent Ca-
nadian train derailment
occurred in Calgary, Al-
berta on September 11th,
the second derailment
in the city in just three
months.
A CP Rail train trans-
porting diluents-hydro-
carbon thinner, common-
ly used in oil pipelines,
derailed as the train was
rounding a bend and
heading out of the Alyth
Train Yard. Eight train cars
left the tracks. Alyth Yard
sits adjacent to a residen-
tial community and in the
heart of the citys down-
town core.
No persons were hurt
in the derailment. Howev-
er, rail and hazmat work-
ers cleaned up 900,000
liters of fammable and
toxic chemicals. Te rail
yard, public pool, several
businesses and 142 homes
were also evacuated for 12
hours.

When applying for a lottery license it is necessary
to specify what the proceeds will be put towards. Once
the proceeds have been collected and dispersed, Fron-
tier will be held accountable for providing proof that the
money was allocated to what had been specifed previ-
ously.
Lottery organizers were originally preparing to sell
tickets the weekend of Fun Fest, but ran into a few delays
in the process of acquiring the lottery license.
Tis was the f rst time that we have ever needed a
lottery license and there were quite a few hoops to jump
through. But if this is successful this year, it will be much
easier to coordinate for years to come as all of our infor-
mation will be stored with the lotteries and we will have
proved to them who we are and what we do, added Jo-
sland.
Tickets can be purchased at Frontier or from any
board member. Organizers will also be stationed at Co-
op on Saturday, October 26th.
Te draw will take place on November 9th at 2 p.m. at
Frontier. Organizers will also be hosting a customer ap-
preciation day, serving community members a lunch of
chili on a bun.
I think this may be something we will look at doing
again in the future but we would likely change the theme
of our packages. So far it seems to be fairly well received
by the community. Our ticket sales have been pretty good
so far. We would like to sell out but well have to wait and
see what happens, added Josland.

TransCanada
donates $50,000
to Rapid City
Fire Department
SUBMITTED
O
n the evening of Wednesday, October 23rd,
of cials from TransCanada presented a
$50,000 donation to the Rapid City Fire Depart-
ment to help provide short-term equipment
needs and emergency response capability to
Rapid City.
Rapid City Mayor Orest Woloski, members of
town council, and Fire Chief Morley Cornish were
on hand to accept the generous donation on be-
half of the town and local fre department.
Te f re service is currently not in operation;
however this support from TransCanada will pro-
vide short-term equipment needs to our frst re-
sponders, a frst step in restoring a critical service
to our town, said Orest Woloski, Mayor of Rapid
City.
Te town of Rapid City is an important com-
munity for TransCanada. Emergency respond-
ers in the area have a long-standing relationship
with TransCanada as the Canadian Mainline, the
Keystone Pipeline and the proposed Energy East
Pipeline Project are all adjacent to the town.

Hi Reena,
I was able to res-
cue some items from our
basement after being sub-
merged in thefood waters
of High River. Tere must
have been something in
the water that has left a
residue on the crystal and
glassware as well as a hard
to remove and polish resi-
due on the silver and cop-
per items. Any suggestions
on how to clean and/or
polish the items? Marian
Dear Marian,
Very sorry to hear that
you were hit by the food
Marian. With regards to
the crystal, the condition
may be permanent but
soak them in 50/50 vinegar
and water for an hour and
polish dry with a soft cloth.
For the copper items, in a
ventilated area; spray each
piece with WD-40, wait
10 mins and polish with
a soft cloth (test on an in-
conspicuous area frst).
To tackle the silver, either
purchase silver polish or
use Cerma Bryte ceramic
cooktop cleaner or make
your own silver cleaner:
place crumpled aluminum
foil in a plastic bucket.
Dissolve one quarter cup
washing soda in 4 quarts
of hot water. Place silver
on foil and let stand for a
few seconds, until the tar-
nish is gone. Remove sil-
ver, rinse and dry. Or mix
1 tbsp. hot vinegar, 2 cups
water and 2 tsp. salt. Soak
silver for 5 minutes and
polish.
Dear Reena,
Is there an easy way
to remove the casing from
sausage rings like Kielbasa
and other garlic sausages?
Gerhard
Hi Gerhard,
Begin by freezing the
sausage for about 30 mins.
so that it becomes slightly
frm. Cut the casing down
one side and simply peel it.
You can also begin in the
middle of the sausage and
pinch the meat to force it
out of the casing. Twist and
turn it around, wrap the
casing around your fngers
and then squeeze out the
remainder.

Re: Smelly Dog
Dogs dont sweat,
thats why they pant.
Tey may perspire a little
through their paw pads
but not the rest of their
body as humans do.Ryan
should take his dog to the
vet. One inexpensive test
or even just an exam can
determine whether further
follow up is needed.Te
most likely cause of an oth-
erwise unidentifed smell
that seems to be emanat-
ing from an animals body
is a buildup of toxins.Most
often, that occurs because
the kidneys arent func-
tioning suf ciently. When
animals are hot, they may
become more dehydrated
taxing the kidneys more
so the hot weather may
be a connection in that
sense.But it doesnt mean
the problem is solved.It
may well be that Ryans
dog isnt sick but Ryan
should not assume hes fg-
ured this out. R.
Re: Smelly Dog
My mom just passed
your column onto me, the
writer, Ryan, complained
about a stinky dog and it
sounds a lot like my own
experience. I have a dog
that started to ripen up
and reeked to high heaven.
No amount of swimming/
shampooing would work. I
thought it was anal glands
and had them expressed,
but that didnt help either.
My regular vet suggested I
change his food.She also
said it would take a few
weeks, and she was right.I
tried a couple of diferent
brands before fnding the
right mix. What was rec-
ommended was Acanas
Pacifca (blue bag), which
is fsh based.I actually use
Presidents Choice fsh-
based food and its working
wonders.After Jack started
smelling good, I washed
all his bedding and weve
been stink free for about
three weeks. Hope this
helps Ryan and his stinky
dog. HH
Fabulous Tips
of the Week:
If you are in a hurry
and need your shirt collar
ironed; use a hair straight-
ener. Its faster than plug-
ging in an iron or steamer
and waiting for it to heat
up.
Collect plastic bread
tags and use them as game
chips for board and card
games. Submitted by: Ruth

Te incident, which
is still under investigation
by CP Rail and Transport
Canada, saw the frustra-
tion in Calgary mount as
residents held a protest
against CP Rail and city
Mayor, Naheed Nenshi,
voiced his option on the
lack of transparency about
what trains are transport-
ing.
Once again, it was
city staf, who have no reg-
ulatory authority on this,
risking their lives to solve
the problem, Nenshi said
to reporters shortly after
the September 11th train
derailment. And we cant
solve the problem if were
not given correct, accurate
information at the very
beginning.
Nenshi added that
the federal government,
which regulates rail trans-
port, needs to wake up to
the need for better rules.
Te risk to public safety
is best mitigated by smart
regulations, he said, and
that is not what we have
now.
Local Rail Safety
Taking a look at
where these iron roads
run through our commu-
nity it is obvious that if an
accident or derailment
were to occur within close
proximity, it could have
extensive and devastating
impacts.
Up until now the
rails havent been carry-
ing as many chemicals
and dangerous goods,
but the rail business is
changing and now serious
chemicals are being trans-
ported. We have a danger-
ous goods plan that deals
with the railway safety, as
well as the highways we
have in close proximity,
explained Barret Nelson,
municipal emergency co-
ordinator.
Currently, the Town
of Minnedosa in conjunc-
tion with the R.M. of Oda-
nah and the R.M. of Minto
have an emergency plan,
which is required by pro-
vincial legislation.
Te provincial legis-
lation gives you a template
and then we take that and
customize it to our town,
and surroundings. Te
provincial government
also provides education
and training for volun-
teers, explained Nelson.
Transportation of
dangerous goods is moni-
tored by many governing
bodies and dangerous
goods acts at city, provin-
cial, and federal levels,
as well all rail companies
have customized danger-
ous goods acts they must
follow.
Right now, we cur-
rently have an emergency
plan to deal with danger-
ous goods, but we are
working with city of cials
to prepare a plan for rail-
way disasters as well. Our
emergency plan provides
the proper contacts who
know the steps, legislation
and the proper handling
for every diferent chemi-
cal being transported,
Nelson explains. In the
case of an emergency it
becomes a co-ordinated
efort as we do not have
the know-how, technol-
ogy, man power or ability
to deal with these types of
emergencies on our own.
In the occurrence of
a disaster with the magni-
tude larger than the town
emergency response vol-
unteers could handle, the
fre commissioners of ce
would be contacted.
Nelson explained that
the Province of Manitoba
is divided up into various
districts, called fre mutual
aid districts. Te system of
fre mutual aid districts al-
lows smaller communities
to band together in man
power and equipment.
In our district there
are about eight diferent
f re departments and if
one district has a fre all of
the other fre departments
can be called on to help. If
that is not enough, the fire
commissioner can also
instruct other fire mutual
aid districts to come and
help.
Moving Forward
As the railway sys-
tems continue to expand
transporting more and
more chemicals, govern-
ing bodies around the
country have put rail
safety on their docket,
and Minnedosa is no dif-
ferent.
Currently we dont
have the equipment or
expertise to deal with is-
sues like these and there
are a number of different
issues surfacing as we be-
gin to discuss this with
elected officials. We dont
have any official posi-
tions right now but the
community should know
that is something that we
are aware of and certainly
looking at, added Nel-
son.
Minnedosa Town
Officials held a Protec-
tive Services Meeting on
September 26th as well
as participated in a mock-
emergency on October
4th.
Discussion and
practice are the best way
for us to understand how
it would all work and also
allows us to pinpoint ar-
eas that we need to im-
prove and better prepare
for, said Nelson.
Following the sum-
mers string of danger-
ous train derailments the
Transportation Safety
Board issued a statement
urging regulators to re-
view the processes for
suppliers and companies
transporting or import-
ing dangerous goods to
ensure safer transporta-
tion.
I n cor r el at i on,
Transportation Canada
released a statement,
Transport Canada would
like to make it clear that
strong federal railway
safety regulations are in
place to ensure the safe-
ty and protection of the
public. Transport Canada
has already taken steps
to increase rail safety in
Canada and will continue
to do more. The safety of
Canadians is Transport
Canadas top priority.

I
n honour of the Queens
Diamond Jubilee, the
Government of Manitoba
created an exhibition to
display the relationship
she has had with Manitoba
during her reign.
On T ursday, October
17th the Diamond Jubilee
Exhibition was put on dis-
play at the Erickson Cross-
roads Community Centre.
Darcie Von Axel-
stierna, chairman of the
Manitoba branch of Mon-
archist League of Canada
and correspondence sec-
retary at the Government
of Manitoba Infrastructure
and Transportation de-
partment, was the driving
force behind bringing the
display to the rural com-
munity.
I am from this com-
munity and I am also
chairman of the Manitoba
branch of the Monarchist
League of Canada, so I do
hold events like these in
Winnipeg all the time and
I also work in the legisla-
ture in Winnipeg. I had
access to this exhibition
that they had on display in
the legislature last year. It
was sitting there in storage
and I thought that I should
maybe bring it out to my
community to share, ex-
plainsed Axelstierna.
Te display featured
60 black and white pho-
tos of the Queens visits to
Manitoba throughout her
60 years of service. Axelsti-
erna also displayed some
items from her personal
collection.
Te Queen has visited
Manitoba on a number of
occasions throughout her
reign, even stopping in Er-
ickson in 1970.
Axelstierna explained
that the Queen and her
entourage arrived by mili-
tary helicopter in Riding
Mountain National Park.
Ten rode in a convoy of
golf carts to the beach,
meeting with local resi-
dents and then drove by
car to Erickson.
In this photo the
Queen had just arrived at
Erickson Collegiate in 1970
and everyone is standing
on Queen Elizabeth Road,
which was changed be-
cause of her visit that day.
Tere is also a photo of
Prince Charles and Prin-
cess Anne arriving because
they were altogether and
you can see in the back-
ground the church that is
still standing in Erickson
today, Axelstierna ex-
plained.
During the Queens
visit that year, she also
spent some time on a fam-
ily farm in Carberry.
On her most recent
visit to Manitoba, some-
one from the protocol of-
f ce thought they should
invite someone from this
family to come to the
event. So they came and
the frst thing that Prince
Phillip said to the son was
How were your potatoes
this year? because they re-
membered the family and
their farm. Tat is pretty
amazing.
Axelstierna notes that
the Queen has a rich his-
tory with Manitoba and
she loves being able to give
people a chance to learn
more about the royal fam-
ily and their connection to
our communities.
