The guides were kept busy with more than 400 people taking part in the “Attack of the Clowns” tours, while those in the “safe zone” were just as busy entertaining the younger participants and those too afraid to venture outside. There were lots of screams and tears over the course of the evening. Friends of RMNP would like to thank all of the volunteers and park staff who helped behind the scenes getting things ready and those "in front of the camera" scaring and entertaining. Thanks also to the Elkhorn Resort for the donation of pizza for the volunteers and the hot chocolate for participants. Close to $1,200 was raised to support Friends of RMNP education programs. (Submitted) The average child today spends only a fraction of the time engaged in outdoor play as his or her parents or grandparents did as children. There are a number of factors that could contribute to this decline. Safety is a concern, as the days of playing outside with friends until dark are becoming a thing of the past. Many children lead very scheduled lives, and spend much of their time in organized activities. This, combined with parents’ own busy schedules, can leave little time for free play. Indoor play has become the norm for children. Watching TV and playing video games are often considered favourite pastimes. Children thrive in a natural environment. Some of the benefits The importance of outdoor play Shawna Munro PARENTING POINTS Shawna Munro works at the Elspeth Reid Family Resource Centre, a facility of Child and Family Services of Western Manitoba that offers parenting information and support. » 255 Ninth St., Brandon » 726-6280 of regular outdoor play include: l Getting exercise. Running, jumping and climbing builds young children’s gross motor skills. Riding a bike, skating or playing tag helps children become stronger and fitter. Extended outdoor play increases stamina. If children spend a small amount of time each day playing actively outside, it is beneficial to their overall health. l Developing imagination. Children who spend a lot of time in front of a screen have limited opportunity for building their imagination. While playing outdoors, children can create their own world. A tree becomes a castle tower; the sidewalk is a river; a snow fort becomes a home at the North Pole. l Improving social skills. When children play together in outdoor play, it lacks the structure of organized activities. Often games are made up on the go, and children need to work together to decide the direction their play will take them. In a playground setting, children have to take turns and share playground equipment. l Connecting with nature. We sometimes forget the importance of simply enjoying the outdoors. Standing in the grass with bare feet or catching snowflakes on the tongue is a wonderful experience for a child. By being outside, children can watch and learn about plants and animals, the changing seasons, and the sights, smells and sounds of the world. l Reducing stress. As our world becomes more and more fastpaced, our children become more tense and anxious. Spending time outdoors, whether engaged in active play or just enjoying nature, can have a calming and relaxing effect on children. Daily fresh air and exercise can also improve the quality of a child’s sleep. Outdoor play should be treated as a necessary and important part of childhood, not simply as a backup plan when there is nothing else to do. And, of course, it is not only children who can benefit. When parents set a healthy example, children are more likely to follow. Take some time as a family to enjoy a bike ride, an afternoon of tobogganing, or a friendly game of tag or hide-and-seek.

FABULOUS JERSEYS HONOUR VETERANS, HELP UNITED WAY One of the many tables of guests enjoying their time at the 2013 United Way Fun Lunch. (Submitted) The United Way of Brandon and District is giving Brandonites the opportunity to make lunch plans that are guaranteed to be fun — all while helping out the community. The United Way Fun Lunch really is a win-win-win, according to 2014-2015 campaign chair Cam Clark. “First and foremost, this truly is a fun lunch as we incorporate a ‘Don’t forget the lyrics” theme hosted by our very own cochair Bryan Podworny of Expressions Entertainment — who also happens to be an amazing emcee,” Clark said. “This is designed for everybody to get involved and really just have some fun while helping out with the UW’s campaign.” The entertainment component of the Fun Lunch will be provided largely by those in attendance. The United Way team is urging those planning to attend to warm up their singing voices. However, you have the option of just sitting back and enjoying the show. “This is a great way to socialize, have a few laughs and bid on some great prizes in the Experience Auction,” United Way marketing director Cynamon Mychasiw said. “We’ve already lined up many great items to bid on and if local businesses care to lend additional support, we will gladly accept it and they can call us to make arrangements.” The sixth annual Fun Lunch will be held at the Victoria Inn on Thursday, Nov. 20, and according to Clark, it has become a tradition. “This event has consistently garnered rave reviews from the community,” he said. Mychasiw said the classic menu choice of spaghetti and meat sauce has always been a hit. “It provides us with a fast and easy-to-prepare meal for our large crowd and leaves more time for the entertainment and auction component to the lunch hour.” The meal will also include salad, bread sticks and desert, all generously donated by the Victoria Inn. Tickets are available at the United Way of Brandon and District office downtown in the Scotia Towers or by calling 204571-U-WAY (8929). Like all UW fundraisers, Clark said this particular event is crucial to helping us reach this year’s campaign goal of $789,000. “This not only helps the bottom line but it spreads awareness for the campaign and gives us a great opportunity to let folks know the many agencies and organizations that benefit through the UW’s efforts,” he said. “Twenty-three agencies and BARREL SAUNAS HELP THOSE IN NEED TO HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS Frank McGwire HAPPENINGS ON THE SCENE Frank McGwire is a veteran of the local radio industry, a musician and booster of the music scene in Brandon and Westman. » opinion@brandonsun.com On Friday, Dec. 5, at Houston’s Roadhouse from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the United Way is having its 19th annual Christmas Tree Auction for Kids. Registration will begin at 5 p.m. and decorating the trees starts at 5:30 p.m. Cover charge will be $3. Fifteen trees will go up for auction. On Saturday, Dec. 6, all of the trees will be delivered to families and children in need so UW can assure that as many people as possible in our community can have a wonderful Christmas. Come out and see all the beautiful Christmas trees and let’s all get into the Christmas spirit!

Things like Coats for Kids and Tools for school are ongoing efforts that are greatly needed in our community. “The Fun Lunch is also somewhat symbolic in terms of the tone and the mood embodied by this year’s campaign team, so it will act as a celebration for our efforts.” The United Way of Brandon and District serves Brandon proper as well as the RMs of Whitehead, Cornwallis and Elton, plus the communities of Shilo, Douglas, Forrest and Kemnay. In short, Clark says, “the UW exists to meet important human needs by enhancing the quality of life in our community by merging volunteer and financial resources.” They’re always looking to set up new employee deduction programs to help reach the campaign goal, he said. “We’ve had so much continued support from various businesses in the Wheat City and immediate area but additional support is always needed as the cost of living continues to rise.” Tickets for the Fun Lunch are only $15 and corporate table bookings can also be arranged by calling 204-571UWAY. New for 2014, the Brandon Wheat Kings have partnered with the folks at CFB Shilo and the United Way to present a special edition military-themed jersey. These stunning jerseys will pay tribute to the men and women who have given their lives to serving their country and their community. One jersey will be auctioned off Friday, Nov. 14 on STAR 94.7 FMs Morning Mess with Tyler and Amber, and 18 more will be game worn and auctioned off at the Nov. 15 Brandon Wheat Kings game against Medicine Hat. All proceeds benefit the Community Fund of the United Way, to be invested in local programs and services impacting thousands of people in Brandon each and every day. Can’t make the auction? United Way is also selling raffle tickets for two more jerseys for $5 each. Tickets are available at the United Way office in the Scotia Towers. Draw date is Nov. 20 at the Fun Lunch. sales@aquasplashpools.ca Your Residential Resort Specialist Hours: Tuesday – Friday 10am-6pm; Saturday 10am-4pm • Industry-licensed technicians • Quality service • Parts and repairs for all makes and models ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES OFFERED COAST TO COAST: Licensed, Trained Technicians Top Quality Parts Nationwide Guarantees 1655 - 18th St., Brandon Mon. - Fri., 8am - 9pm; Sat., 8am - 6pm • Canadian Tire now has your service OUR NATIONWIDE available at every Auto Service WARRANTY COVERS YOU AT history* centre across the country parts and services are guaranteed OVER 480 CANADIAN TIRE • All to meet or exceed manufacturer’s specifications.

They naturally assume that I mean vegetables that were canned or frozen during the summer and fall — and yes, we do have some of those. We are, however, still enjoying fresh vegetables from the garden, and having such vegetables this late in the fall is not all that hard to accomplish. All that is required are a few heavy blankets and a refrigerator, plus a cool garage. I like to see how far I can push the envelope in terms of extending the vegetable garden in both directions — I do it in the spring by using a cold frame and by fall seeding of early spring vegetables. In the fall, however, it is all about warding of Mr. Jack Frost. Some of the vegetables that we are currently enjoying — fresh but having been harvested and stored since mid-September — are onions and squash. Onions, if properly dried, will keep all winter in a cool, dark place. I harvest them before fall frost occurs, usually in late August, and hang them outside for a couple of weeks to dry. Once they are quite dry I take the tops off — until then the tops were left on so that I could tie the onions in bunches and hang them to dry. I remove the tops and clean them up a bit but I don’t take off any outside peel unless it readily falls off. The onions are then spread on an old blanket and left in the sun to dry for a few more days, but are taken in at night to protect against frost and heavy dew. Finally the onions are put into shallow boxes and stored downstairs. We are also eating squash — we prefer buttercup squash — and these vegetables also were harvested earlier in the fall. After the first light frost blackens the tops of the vines and before another frost occurs to damage the now-exposed squash, I 23,295 $ CASH OR Albert Parsons GONE GARDENIN’ Albert Parsons lives, writes, and gardens in Minnedosa. » communitynews@brandonsun.com “ Having fresh vegetables from the garden this late in the fall is not all that hard to accomplish. pick them and store them in the garage. The garage is cool and they finish maturing there. In November, after the furnace starts running regularly so that the humidity in the basement is reduced, I move them downstairs where they will keep well into late winter. We are munching on fresh carrots, safely stored in the refrigerator in the garage. I leave the carrots in the ground until late September, then dig them, cut off the tops and tails, wash them, and bag them after they have dried. Potatoes were dug in midSeptember and are stored in the garage in cardboard boxes. I try not to dig them until the weather cools so the temperature in the garage stays low. I puncture a few holes in the plastic bags holding the carrots and into the fridge they go. I do the same thing with beets except I do not tail them and I leave six centimetres of top on — they will bleed beet juice all over if the beet itself was cut. They will not store quite as long as carrots but we will eat fresh beets until Christmas. Parsnips are treated like carrots and they store just as well — we will eat fresh parsnips all winter. We enjoy freshly picked vegetables right up until very late October. I use heavy old sleeping bags and blankets to cover late radish, lettuce and Swiss chard. It is a bit of a bother to have to cover and uncover the plants whenever there is danger of night-time frost, but I think the reward is worth it. On Oct. 30, I picked the last of the Swiss chard, washed it, and put it in plastic bags in the fridge. It will last for a month or so — I am always astonished at how long it stores. I harvested the last of the radish and lettuce the first week in November, when temperatures fell low enough that even blankets could not protect the plants. We will eat fresh radish and lettuce, washed and stored in the fridge in plastic bags, until about mid-November — the radish will last even longer than that if we don’t eat them all first. We also are still eating apples picked in early September and stored in cardboard boxes in the fridge. One of our favourite vegetables, kohlrabi, was harvested the same time as the carrots and they are sitting in the refrigerator as well. They will store for most of the winter, their roots and tops cut off close to the bulb. Extending the garden season and properly storing vegetables — augmented by canned and frozen fare — allows us to enjoy the bounty of our vegetable gardens well past the growing season. Now I will just slip out to the sunroom and snip off some tops of the chives plant to add to the egg salad ... 24,315 OR and refrigerated.

Well, here is one tournament that has had changes made that I can tell you about — the Provincial Open, zone round. This year the board has decided to spread the zone qualifying round among houses outside of Brandon. The women will be competing in Carberry for the Saturday shift of eight games, with the men venturing to Killarney for their first shift of eight games. On Sunday all will come together to play their final 10 games at Thunderbird. This is going to be a great experience for bowlers and spectators alike. The rural houses will get a chance to host some of Westman’s best bowlers and watch them battle it out on non-familiar lanes. Another thing that changed for this tournament is the entry fee — it has been reduced! The 18-game tournament will only cost $80 this year, regardless of being a new entry or returning player. The Provincial Open (zone round) is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan. 31, and Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015.

Did you know that one form of feline communication was developed for the purpose of “talking” with humans? Have you ever noticed cats rarely meow at one another? This isn’t a common method of feline communication among cats — but cats meow at their humans often. It is believed that cats learned making this noise got the attention of their caregivers. Most cat owners will tell you they are familiar with different “meows” their cats make, as their cats adjust the tone and pitch of the sounds they make to communicate differently when they want a meal, want COMMUNITY NEWS • 7 From purring to caterwauling, what your feline is saying Dana Grove PET’S BEST FRIEND Dana Grove is an animal lover who works with several pet organizations in Brandon. » communitynews@brandonsun.com to get into a room, or simply want attention! The meow is characterized as a “vowel” sound in most literature. While this sound is a way for cats to communicate with us, there are a number of other vocalizations cats make. Here are a few common ones: Purring: This is a sound kittens can make within hours of being born, and is made by cats when they are happy and relaxed. Researchers have also found that cats will purr to soothe themselves when they are ill or even near death. There is still a lot that is not known about this noise, but it is mainly known as a sign that a cat is content. Chirping: This warbling, chittering sound is made by a mother cat when she wants her kittens to follow. Cats also use this sound to communicate with humans when they want their caregiver to follow them. You may have heard this noise when your cat wants you to follow him to his food bowl, wants you to take a toy, or wants you to clear a spot in your lap for a good petting session. Chattering: This is a sound many cat owners hear as their feline companion sits in the window watching birds go by. The chattering noise a cat makes sounds similar to the noise a rodent or bird makes, and there is some suspicion that this noise may even be one cats make to entice prey by mimicking their sounds. Chatter is a noise cats make when they are hunting. Yowling: A long drawn-out meow is different from the happy conversational ones. Cats call out or yowl when they are upset, frustrated or in distress. This is a noise you will hear when a cat is trapped, lost or injured and calling out for assistance. Cats will also yowl at other cats to warn them away from territory. Caterwauling: This is a noise similar to a yowl, but is a hollow, mournful howl heard by intact female cats when they are in heat. This mating call is persistent and females in heat are relentless. At times, the caterwaul will escalate into a shrieking or screaming sound. (Note: Spayed female cats do not make these noises.) Growling: A long, lowpitched growl is often a warning of danger to come. Cats make this sound when they feel danger is near. A cat that is growling feels threatened and is sending a vocal warning to the threat that is approaching, warning them to stay away. Hissing: A hiss sends the message it is meant to without a need for interpretation. It is a threatening noise and is usually made to challenge an enemy or to warn. A cat that is hissing is ready for a fight and is willing to defend himself. Some believe that a growl is a preliminary warning and a hiss is a more immediate warning. Street!
