With the arrival of some actual snowy weather, they have been spending even more time out on walks or playing in the backyard. Please remember to send warm mitts and hats (two sets is a good idea as it gets wetter), and a change of clothes for your child, just in case they get quite wet while playing outside. As the days get warmer, rubber boots will soon be a necessity! Some themes this month were numbers, shapes and colours…. The staff love to work with the children, get some ideas about what they are interested in, and follow through with fun and interesting learning activities. There is never a dull moment going on…a walk through the center will find children working on arts and crafts, playing with a variety of toys, singing songs with the staff, or reading an interesting book! Another big focus this month at daycare has been Lobsterfest…The staff and children have been working hard to get their items ready for the silent auction. Their artwork is super adorable and I am sure all their loved ones will be fighting to take it home! Board members and staff have been busy organizing and getting all the items ready for another great night out! By the time this article is out, it’ll be said and done for another year…an anticipatory thank-you to all who make this night successful. Coming up next month will be our AGM! This is an exciting year as we’ll be celebrating our 10th anniversary. We hope that all families and community members who are interested in the daycare will make a point of coming and attending this night out. Chances are we will have some cake to celebrate this milestone!! The date hasn’t been set so watch for more information coming your way in April!

The temperatures have been amazing with over 20 degrees by the 17th. With the beginning of spring finally starts the construction of our new bridge. A meeting with the highways was held at the Civic Center March 12th with both councils present as well as representatives from Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation, engineers and consultants. They made a presentation with the plans and reported the deadlines for our new bridge construction. The temporary shoo-fly road and Acrow bridge is to be completed by the end of May. Once the Acrow bridge is ready to be erected over the existing bridge, we will lose access across for approximately 7 – 10 days. This temporary bridge will be in place until the new bridge is completed in the fall of 2013. While the Acrow bridge will only accommodate single lane traffic, truck travel up to 16 feet wide will have access. Motion censored street lights will also be installed to assist with traffic control. If anyone would like to see the plans for the new bridge, please feel free to stop by the Town Office where they can be viewed. The Fitness Center is now a reality with the Grand Opening on Saturday February 17th. There has been a lot of hard work put into this facility that has been in the making for a few years. Congratulations on a job well done to the Fitness Center Committee. Make sure to stop by for a look around. Memberships are now available! March is a busy month in Hartney. On the 17th the Daycare is hosting its’ annual Lobsterfest that many anticipate from year to year. Hartney and Area Arena is also going to be a hubbub of activity on March 18th as they host the Crocus Invitational Synchronized Skating Championships. They are anticipating a very large turnout with over 200 athletes competing. As with most events in our community, many volunteers are required to make them happen. If you enjoy attending these functions, take a moment to let them know they’ve done a good job and you appreciate their efforts. A smile and a thank you goes a long way to ensuring these events will continue and our organizations are able to continue operating. Till next month! Lori Taylor PAGE 7 SOS Newsline By Senior Services Resource Coordinator Susan Peloquin DO YOU KNOW WHAT E.R.I.K. IS? E.R.I.K. is an Emergency Response Information Kit developed by a community Advisory Council. They wanted the emergency workers and ambulance attendants to have the necessary information to treat their patients as correctly as possible when they get a 911 call. All area emergency groups have endorsed this program. Once completed, the kit provides the necessary information for emergency personnel to respond quickly to your situation. WHO SHOULD USE THE KIT? The kit is ideal for seniors, chronically ill persons, those who live alone or who have caregivers, and others who have speech difficulties or who may have difficulty communicating. You may also want to take a copy of E.R.I.K. and your complete Health Care Directive with you when you are away on a trip. WHAT DOES E.R.I.K CONSIST OF? A health information form, which a health care professional, a pharmacist or your family may assist you with. A place to insert your Health Care Directive or Living Will, if you have one. A form is enclosed if you wish to make a Health Care Directive with your Doctor and family. A blue organ donation card, if you wish to complete it. A sticker to stick on your front entrance. A plastic folder with a magnet that holds all of the necessary information that is to be placed on the front of your fridge. DO YOU ALREADY HAVE E.R.I.K.? If you already have an E.R.I.K. kit it is important to keep your information up to date. If you have any change in medication or a change in your health, please remember to update your kit. HOW DO I REMEMBER TO UPDATE E.R.I.K.? We have just had a time change. This is a good time to remember to check your E.R.I.K kit and make sure there have been no changes that you haven’t remembered to include. Every time you change your clock, check your E.R.I.K. I WANT AN E.R.I.K. OR I NEED NEW FORMS, WHAT SHOULD I DO? Please contact the SOS at 858-2597. E.R.I.K. is supported by community donations, so they are free to users. PAGE 8 Hartney - Lauder United Church News Spring is in the air and Easter won't be far behind. This year, Hartney United Church is selling Easter lilies. These are high quality Green Spot lilies, available right here in town! You can buy an Easter lily for yourself, give it to a friend or loved one or donate it to the church, perhaps in memory of a special person. All lilies donated to the church will adorn the sanctuary on Easter morning and then be delivered to folks who could use a little lift. Sign up sheets are posted at the Credit Union, Co-op and in Forbes Hall at the church, or call Vicky Lewis at 858-2017. We hope you'll help spread Easter joy this season. Before Easter comes, we mark the season of Lent as a time of preparation. Palm Sunday is on April 1 this year, no fooling! We will remember Jesus' entry into Jerusalem with a little palm parade of our own. There will be Sunday school in both churches. Worship times switch on Palm Sunday, with Hartney moving to 9:30 AM and Lauder to 11 AM. These times will continue through the end of June. Good Friday worship will be a joint service with Victory Church at 11 AM on Friday, April 6. Watch for posters for location. Easter worship will include the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Thanks to everyone who supported the Hartney-Lauder Youth Group "Brown Bag Supper" on March 18. The kids had fun organizing this and they are considering ways to use the money raised to support the churches. The next project for the Youth Group is planning and leading worship on April 22, Earth Day. We hope you'll join us in Hartney or in Lauder for this special service as we explore what it means that God calls us to live with respect in creation. Watch for a notice elsewhere in this paper for information about "Dinner to your Door". Hartney United is planning this fundraiser for April 15th. As you may have read earlier in the year, Hartney Church had a substantial loss in 2011 and we are working at ways to cover our costs this year. We thank you for your support! Rev.

PAGE 12 OBITUARY PHYLLIS MARJORIE EVANS (nee ATKINSON) October 2, 1926 – February 27, 2012 Phyllis was born on the family farm of Harrell and Elizabeth Atkinson near Melgund, MB. on Oct.2, 1926. She attended Melgund School for her Elementary schooling, then Hartney School for Junior and Senior High. She then taught school at Grand Bend, MB. for half a year, before moving to Winnipeg to attend Success Business College, obtaining her Diploma in Business. She returned to Hartney, to work for the Bank of Montreal. Then in 1952 she moved to Winnipeg and continued working for the Bank of Montreal. She started attending Arthur Murray’s Dance studio and there met her future husband, Len Evans, a dance instructor. Phyllis then left the Bank and also began teaching at Arthur Murray’s. The two made exceptional dance partners. In 1954 they welcomed their first and only child, Robbie into the family. Phyllis returned to work for the Bank of Montreal in 1955, where she remained until retiring in 1983. Phyllis loved to travel, going to California, Denver (where her older brother Ken lived), Phoenix, the Maritimes, and the West Coast several times, as well as trips to Florida, Yukon, Alaska, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, Washington, New York, and Las Vegas. In 1990 she started wintering in Phoenix, along with her sister, 2 brothers, and their spouses, until 2001. In 2006 she returned to Hartney to live in Cameron Lodge and later the Hartney Community Health Centre. She is survived by her son Robert, daughter-in-law Joyce, grandsons Daniel and Joshua, sister Anita, and many nephews, nieces, and cousins, who will miss her dearly. Her family are very grateful to the many Home Care and Health Centre staff who supported and cared for her over the years, and to Dr. Stone who oversaw her care.

Why is this battle important to Canada? This battle marked the first time that all four divisions fought together as the Canadian Corps. This also was the first major Allied victory on the western front since the beginning of the war. Germany had captured the ridge in 1914 and three attempts by the British and French armies with the lost of 200,000 men could not re-take the ridge. The battle lasted four days with the loss of 3,598 men and many more hundreds wounded. The rout of the Germans was so complete that in future battles they avoided attacking any positions held by the Canadian Corps. Today, this ridge is the site of the Canadian National War Memorial designed by Walter Seymour Allward, started in 1925, completed in 1936 and dedicated that same year by King Edward VIII. Over 100,000 attended the event including 6,000 from Canada. This memorial has the names of 11,285 Canadian soldiers who died and have no known grave in France. In the actual battle, Hartney and Area volunteers that were killed in action were Harry Bassine, Robert Gallinger, Daniel McCuiag, Cam Landreth, Fred A. Peterson and Kenneth T. Ross. The names of Fred A. Peterson and Kenneth T. Ross are inscripted in the monument. This is Canada’s principal memorial in Europe to our country’s contribution and sacrifice in the first world war. In 1996 this site was designated a National Historic Site of Canada—one of only two outside of Canada. (the other being Beaumont-Hamel where the Newfoundland Regiment was destroyed in the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1916. The monument was re-dedicated in 2007 by Queen Elizabeth II after five years of restoration work.

Carmen completed Grade 11 at Deleau School in 1962, and pursued a year of study in Psychiatric Nursing at Brandon Mental Health Centre. She married Gerald Albert Logeot on February 23, 1963. At the time, they lived in Souris, where Gerry worked for Williamson’s Construction. In 1964, Carmen and Gerry moved to Hartney, where Gerry continued construction work while Carmen worked at Woodhall’s Drug Store to help support the family income. In 1969, they traded homes with Henry Moreau, and moved to the farm where they would spend the remainder of their lives. Carmen and Gerry operated a mixed farm and milked cows for many years. They were always working; milking twice a day, haying, cutting and bluestoning fence posts for sale, raising and butchering chickens, chores, chores and more chores, and Gerry working as the Cameron-Sifton Weed Control Supervisor. In the late 1970’s, they decided, for a variety of very sound reasons, to give up the milk cows. It was about then that Carmen started working as a nurse’s aide at the Hartney Medical Nursing Unit. This employment truly suited her, and she enjoyed working with geriatric patients in a variety of positions until her retirement in 2000. Carmen and Gerry were blessed with three children: Gwen Michelle was born in August 1963 and is married to Tim Murphy. They have four children: Krista, Kendall, Ryan and Dylan. Krista has one son, Hayden. Daryll Gerald was born in September 1964, a mere 13 months after Gwen. He is married to Diane Terry and they have three children: Lauren, Devon and Justin. Kimberly Denise was born in March 1968 and married to Dennis Masson. They have three children, D’Arcy, Chantelle and Brittany. Carmen and Gerry were true life partners and very best friends. Unfortunately, that partnership was cut short when Gerry passed away in 2002. Try as she did, Carmen never fully recovered from the loss. Carmen believed in many things, but perhaps the key to her life philosophy was in two part harmony: Do what you do, well, and share these gifts with others. She was an amazing cook, and made it her mission to ensure no one ever went hungry. Carmen took pride in simple tasks, like making and decorating a grandchild’s birthday cake or sharing her delicious fruitcake at Christmas with old friends. No family event was complete without a huge meal, and Carmen was known far and wide for her generosity and skills in the kitchen. In addition, Carmen was a gifted musician with a natural talent to play piano and organ by ear. She played at weddings and funerals, community events, and at weekly mass at St. Jean’s. She tickled the ivories for shut-ins and care home residents. When guests came over, she didn’t hesitate to provide them with musical entertainment. Sometimes, she just played for her own enjoyment. What a delight to know she herself garnered such pleasure for making music, and played all her favorites for her own ear. One of Carmen’s favorite pastimes her entire life, but particularly since her retirement, was travel. She and Gerry made many trips to western Canada and to the west coast to see family. And even though she hated winter weather, Carmen made two trips to the Arctic. She took trips with family and friends to places near and far. Some of her favorite journeys involved her spa vacations and other bus tours with her many girlfriends. Carmen was not afraid of community service, and held positions on many committees and boards over the years, most recently, with Seniors Organized Services. Her most joyous volunteer experience over the past few years was with the organization of the annual Grande Clairiere Fun Night. It was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of her year, every year. Carmen passed away after a brief illness, surrounded by her family, at Souris District Hospital on Saturday, February 18, 2012. PAGE 17 PAGE 18 Summer Employment Opportunity Burrowing Owl Summer Field Technician Turtle Mountain Conservation District is currently accepting applications from post-secondary students in Environmental Studies, Ecology, ACC Land and Water Management or a related field for the above mentioned position.

Term of employment is approximately 16 weeks, 35hrs/week Tentative start date is May 7, 2012 Application Deadline: March 30, 2012 Project Description: The Project will involve the reintroduction of captive released Burrowing Owls into the south west corner of the province. Three locations have been chosen based on proximity to wild nests in 2009-2011 and on habitat suitability near Pierson, Broomhill, and Deloraine. May 2012, 5-7 pairs will be held in 8ft. x 8ft cages, fed, and only released after clutch initiation at these selected sites. The adults and some young will be released at the end of the season and some young will be held back over the winter at the Winnipeg Zoo and Fort Whyte Alive Centre to breed the next season. The idea behind this type of reintroduction effort is to promote the return of the successful breeding adult population. This project will also focus on looking at home range, prey use/kill site, and dispersal movements of both wild and captive released individuals. Dr. Troy Wellicome, the chair of the national Burrowing Owl recovery team in Alberta and his graduate students have been working on various projects involving the use of GPS dataloggers and geolocators.

In addi on to programming In Case of Emergency contacts into your mobile device as men oned last month, there are several other preparedness ac ons and alterna ve communica on resources you can take. Preparedness: Ensure you have a regular landline phone available to use if you usually rely on cordless; these will o en work even if you lose power. Always keep extra ba eries and a charger on hand for mobile devices.

If you or other family members do not know how, learn how to text message and update social media statuses through your mobile device. Ensure your contact informa on on your social media site, web sites, etc. are kept up to date. During an Emergency: If you are evacuated and are able to forward your calls, forward them to your cell phone from your home phone. In an emergency phone lines can o en become overloaded. Consider sending text messages, emails and/or upda ng your social media status to let family and friends know you are safe, this will alleviate pressure on the network and o en text messages can get through when phone calls cannot.

The Blues were eliminated from the Western Division Semi-Finals on Sunday night by the Deloraine Royals in the final game of the 5 game series. The Royals moved on to meet the Killarney Shamrocks in the Western Division Final. Although the loss was tough to swallow, the team should be able to hold their heads high following a season that greatly exceeded most people’s expectations. The Blues struggled for the first month of the season, finishing November with a 1-4 record after their first 5 games. Many of the players had not played competitively for a few years and needed some time to get accustomed to the change of pace. This did not take long though as the team began chalking up the wins, including a streak of 8 in a row. The Blues ended the regular season with 13 wins, 7 losses, 1 overtime loss and 27 points; good for 4th in the Western Division and 8th overall in the 16 team league. This gave the Blues home ice advantage heading into the first round of playoffs against Mitch Fry and the Wawanesa Jets. The series was close; however the Blues were able to dispose of the Jets in the first two games of the three game series. Winning the series gave the Blues a date with the Royals who also swept their first series against the Melita Bisons. The two teams provided the fans with 5 games of entertaining hockey full of intensity, and created a rivalry which everyone should look forward to next year. There were many highlights throughout the season, including some individual accomplishments that are worth noting. Mark Agnew and Nick Cowan finished 2nd and 3rd respectfully in the Western Division scoring race, while Tyler Bertholet finished 2nd in scoring among defensemen. Tyler also played in every game the Blues played this year, including the 21 league games, 2 exhibition games, and 7 playoff games, an accomplishment worth noting. The Blues would like to thank their fans for a season to remember. The Blue Crew were undoubtedly the most plentiful and committed fans in the league. The fans made sure that no matter where the team played they felt like the home team, by outnumbering the opposing team’s home fans more often than not. The Blues only hope that they were able to show the fans the same level of passion and dedication on the ice as the fans showed them in the stands, and look forward to bringing you another season of competitive, entertaining hockey the community can be proud of again next year.
