News from the Oliver
Agricultural Society:
Respectfully submitted by Sylvia
Goodheart, Director.
Well what a great turn out we had
for our March Dinner.
Our tables were all full and most of
the prepared meal was consumed
and patrons were very happy, not
only with the food but with the service.
Since it was such a great success we
have decided to do it again.
Our next Dinner will be on April
19, 2015 and will feature Pulled
Pork along with Roasted Potatoes,
string Beans plus another veggie as
well as the usual, buns, pickles, salads and again pies.
Thanks to all our young directors
and friends helping out the work
was light and customers left very
happy. (Cook was very happy as
well).
We are still trying for grants to
assist in the make over of our electrical system as required by the
Electrical Safety Board. Our fund
raising efforts are in support of this
project.
We have just signed on with the
Monster Truck Tour for another 3
years of shows which will be held
in late September for the remainder
of the contract.
Our first big priority is to get our
ring back in show shape and to
move our large bleachers from the
Township property to the rear of our
ring. If anyone can come out and
help it will be appreciated.
Also we are trying for amusement
rides for our fair to compliment our
Rodeo, Horse Shows, Gymkhanas,
Music and our Tired Iron Club. As
usual we will be having our competitions in the Blue Building and the
Small Animal Competitions. Our
Book will be available soon both in
paper back and on the web.
Again, thanks to all for the continued support.

she picked up the mail and paper was
strewn over the highway.
Later in the month they phoned
Susan, the daughter to see how Edith
was doing in the hospital. Edith is
now back home, after spending some
months in the hospital. Last week as
the Winnipeg couple were returning
from a trip down east, they stopped
and visited Edith at home. Susan purchased a new blanket to replace the
one used at the time of the accident,
The couple were thrilled and thought
that it was so spccial.
Edith now has some new found
friends.
Wishing you a speedy recovery

Stanley in the Country
What’s That Smell?
Stanley loved music ..no doubt about it.
And every Friday night we travelled
from Neebing Township to the far end
of Hilldale Road to a place called
"Skunk Hollow" owned at the time by
our dear friends Len and Barb Matson.
Skunk Hollow was a marvellous gathering place where many of todays' local
musicians shared their skill and knowledge ...a place of great beginnings.
After a long and very enjoyable night
of jammin' we headed back home to
our newly acquired home in the country. This was not to be a normal homecoming. We had left our oldest teenage daughter 'in charge' and she had
done what she thought was right in an
unusual situation (I think she handled it
quite well).
Upon our arrival and in anticipation of
a cup of coffee and a good nights' sleep
we stepped out of our car and noticed a
strange smell. As we walked closer to
the back of the house the smell became
a little worse and at the back door
.....aaaaggh ...horrible. And then we
heard it ....a young man's teenage
cracked voice calling from somewhere
...."Mom, dad ..can I get in the house?
My sister won't let me in!" Peering
around the yard we could not see our
son, but upon looking up there he was
on the garage roof seeking refuge from
the source of his dillema ...Mr. Skunk.
It seems our son had come home hours
earlier and Mr. Skunk had been searching for our youngest daughter (yes, she
was hand feeding him ...another story).
Mr. Skunk was sitting on our back
steps and our son thought he was our
cat (never own a black and white cat if
you live in the country!) and as he
picked Mr. Skunk up both of them
reacted and my son was now on top of
the roof smelling of Mr. Skunk's reaction.
At that point I instructed Stanley to
help our son off the roof as I went
inside to get a change of clothes for our
poor smelly cold firstborn who apparently had been up there for hours.
Well, the scene that beheld my eyes
when I went out to retrieve the 'boys'!!
Did I tell you that Stanley painted
signs? I didn't think so. Well Stanley
painted signs. In the back of the garage
was a huge sign Stanley was working
on (probably about 6 feet by 10 feet.)
In the garage I could see a body dancing around in the dark making moves
that even Darth Vader would have
envied. As he darted in and out of the
garage opening with a shovel in one
hand and a chair in the other I could
see that these lovely dance steps were
just fast and furious moves to avoid a
very threatening Mr. Skunk who
would not let him leave the garage and
was making a few moves of his own
mostly backwards moves with the tail
in the air and here comes my final
strike move! My poor son ...once
again on the tail-end (pun intended) of
a bad situation.
But wait!! Where was Stanley - the
boy's father and protector?
Then I heard his voice - the voice of
Stanley..I quote..."Don't be such a
chicken!! Go after him...he's just a little skunk...what's wrong with you
...don't be such a coward ....and on
..and on"
But where was the brave father of this
child?
I looked around the garage (I had now
retrieved a flashlight and shone it in
the face of Mr. Skunk while my son
ran for the house).
I shone the light in the direction of the
voice!
And there he was ..Stanley ...my hero!
All I could see was his nose and two
eyes as his head popped up and down
from behind this huge sign as he
shouted orders for his already humiliated and smelly son to take on Mr.
Skunk again. Stanley had already
given our boy the shovel and pointed
out the chair (from his safety post
behind the sign) and had the boy challenge this horrible little creature to the
final duel.
I looked at Stanley in unbelief, turned
off the flashlight and headed for the
house to console the boy.
Stanley was on his own. He came into
the house within a few minutes and the
night was never mentioned again
..until now.
I don't know what conspired once I left
the area. How did Stanley get past Mr.
Skunk so quickly? I think Mr. Skunk
was as disgusted with Stanley's actions
as I was and decided he wasn't worth
the wasted spray. Stanley went to bed,
our boy went to bed, Mr. Skunk went
to bed and I stayed up and finished my
night as intended ..I had a coffee, then
I went to bed. Just another night with
Stanley.

Chief’s Corner-Fire Permits
by Mike Horan, Fire Chief
Well, spring is here and it’s time to
refresh our memories on FIRE PERMITS. This year, burning permits
are available on line as well as at the
regular outlets. To get a permit on
line, go to the municipal web site
under the fire department. The on
line permit is there to complete.
Once completed and submitted, you
will receive the completed permit in
your email. If you have a problem,
call the fire office at 807 935 2622.
Our Municipality requires that all
outdoor open air burning must be
done under a fire permit. A fire permit must be obtained before burning
any brush or debris. The by-law is
#811-2014. This is a new by-law as
the burning permits have been
changed to be valid for the full year.
Burning without a valid fire permit,
or not following the conditions on
the fire permit will result in a charge
under the by-law and fine assessed
in court.
The permit contains certain specifications which are there to help you
burn in a safe manner, without the
fire escaping control and causing
damage. These conditions are:
1. The permit must be on
site.
2. It must be shown to
any officer requesting it.
3. The fire to be started two hours before
sunset, or later, and is to
be extinguished two
hours after sunrise the
following day, or earlier. There is no day time
burning from April 1 to
October 31.
4. The amount to be burned is
described in the permit.
5.
All slash and land-clearing
debris shall be in piles or
windrows, separated by a distance
of at least 30 feet. Windrows shall
be in sections not exceeding 20
feet in length. They may only be
burnt from November 1 to March
31.
6. The permittee shall have at the
location of the fire a competent
person and enough water and
equipment to completely extinguish the fire.
7. The full descriptions of requirements are outlined on the permit
and in the bylaw. You can view the
permit and bylaw on line at the
Oliver Paipoonge website under
the fire section.
Please ensure you read the entire
permit before you start burning.
The permit holder is responsible to
know the burning conditions and if
there are any restrictions to burning

in place. The best place to do this
is to follow the fire department on
TWITTER at “oliverpaipoonge
fire”. You will get all burning
updates as well as emergency
information during any disasters.
Let me explain a few points. The
time restriction is to ensure burning is conducted in the safest time
of the day. In the evening, the temperature lowers, causing the
humidity to rise. These two things
will slow the ignition and combustion of a fire trying to spread, thus
making it easier to control your
fire.
Wind is a very important factor in
fire control. Never start burning if
the winds are higher than 20 kph.
If you are burning and the wind
picks up, immediately extinguish
the fire.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you do
have problems in controlling a
fire, do not delay in calling for
help. The sooner the fire department can arrive to help, the easier
the fire will be to extinguish, and
the less damage it will cause.
If there is any doubt or concern,
call the fire dept and arrange for a
fire officer to come and inspect the
site. If you are going to clear some
land, have the site inspected before
you start clearing to insure the
piles are put in a safe location and
will meet the fire permit conditions. Our goal is not to stop outdoor burning, but to ensure safe
burning practices are followed.
As always
Have a safe Month

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
Spring is in the air, signs are all around
us. My daffodils are coming up along
side of my basement wall. Sure a nice
site to see, new hope. This is the time
of year when people start thinking of
planting their gardens. When you do in
May, maybe you will consider planting an extra row for the food bank
clients. Many people have done this in
previous years and it is greatly appreciated.
Our Annual meeting was held in
March and we would like to welcome
Trudy Byers as our acclaimed
Secretary for a 3 year term on the
Board and extend A BIG THANK
YOU to Judy Fleck for all her dedication and work as secretary for the past
6 years. Judy will still be our appoint-
ed Statistician on the Board. Also Judy
has been doing the majority of the buying for the food bank and certainly
watches for those sales and has
increased our buying power. Kimm
White who is our present treasurer has
accepted the appointed position as
Treasurer for another 3 year term. A
BIG THANK YOU to Kimm for her
hard work and dedication as treasurer
and also the food bank representative
on the Regional Food Distribution

the (RFDA) allotment and makes sure

Time on My Hands
Old Cookbooks
If you're of a
certain age
you might
recall these words:
"Hey, hey, good lookin'
Whatcha got cookin'?"
One night this winter I was searching
old cookbooks for a recipe. I didn't find
it, but I had fun looking. Some of these
books belonged to my Mother and
some were gifts from a friend. These
locally produced books were fun to
look at. Here's just a few of them:
"50th Anniversary Cookbook. St.
Mark's Anglican Church 1956-2006".
This book appears to have been created
to raise funds towards the St. Mark's
Church Expansion Project. It's my kind
of book, filled with quotes like this one
- "If you can't find anything nice to say
about your friends, you have the wrong
friends". I like this one too - "One of
the hardest decisions in life is when to
start middle age". Oops, I think I
missed making this decision.
I love quotes. I write things down as I
hear them or read them, then transfer
them to a notebook. You have to watch
what you say around me, you never
know when you'll end up in my book.
I thought this recipe sounded yummy:
Curried Cheese and Cashew Dip
(Marilyn & Jim Naida)
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 c. apricot jam
1/3 c. chopped toasted cashews
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
Cream the cream cheese and jam
together.
Mix in remaining ingredients.
Chill and serve with crackers.
"Our Favourite Recipes. Grade Eight.
Kakabeka Falls School."
This book was published in 1993. It
looks like it was printed to help support
a trip to Minneapolis. I spotted a
dessert recipe that sounds good:
Mystery Dessert (Edna Parsons)
*delicious warm with ice cream
1 c. white sugar
15 oz. can fruit cocktail
1 c. flour, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. walnuts
1 egg
Sift dry ingredients together. Beat in
egg.
Stir in fruit cocktail, including juice.
Pour into a 6 c. buttered dish or an 8 x
8" pan.
Mix together brown sugar and walnuts,
spread over unbaked dessert.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit
(Sadly it doesn't say how long to bake,
maybe that's part of the mystery)
"From Our... Kitchen...To Yours.
Stanley Women's Institute".
This book was published in 1969. It
had an interesting sounding salad:
Tomato Treat (Anita Glavish)
2 c. canned tomatoes
1 - 3 oz. package raspberry jello powder
1 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 c. celery
salt to taste
Combine all ingredients except celery.
Heat until jello powder dissolves.
Cool, add celery.
Pour into mold.
Chill until set.

had an ad - Mark Leiterman &
Sons Ltd. They had everything
from provisions and salt meats to
hardware and hay.
There were also ads for businesses
that still exist 46 years later, such
as:
Happyland Trailer Camp &
Amusement Park. I have a cousin
who sometimes trailers there when
she comes to town.
The Kakabeka Falls Motor Hotel
had an ad. They had "fully modern
rooms" and a "dining room featuring home cooked meals".
But - I can tell you from experience, don't go there on a Tuesday
thinking you can get the Friday hot
turkey sandwich special. It's called
a Friday special because you get it
on a Friday. I thought you could
get it every day, but it was on special on Friday (I suspect my
Newfie background kicked in on
that one. Friends still laugh at me).
And there was an ad for the home
of my favourite burger in the
world - Stanley Hotel (Lakehead)
Ltd. It was owned by John &
Muriel Bylund. There's no telling
if the burger was featured even
then.
Well, that kept me occupied on a
chilly winter evening.There's
nothing I enjoy more than whipping up a pot os soup or a stew or
chili on a snowy winter's day.But
now it's April and I'm more interested in getting outside than
staying inside to cook.
Old cookbooks - they're more
than just recipes, they're a lesson
in our history.
Happy cooking.

4-H NEWS
by Jean Wilson
The Thunder Bay 4-H Club has successfully completed
“THE SEW EASY PROJECT”.
Volunteer Leaders Stacey, Claire,
Brenda and Jean led the members
through numerous steps in sewing
as well as learning about the sewing
machine.
ACHIEVEMENT NIGHT
was held on March 25th at the
Rosslyn Community Centre with
ten members completing this project. Family and friends were welcomed with introductions and a get
together.
The evening featured a fashion parade with articles the members made. The girls showed off
their tote bags and pouches, made
with 4-H fabric, as well as their
sleep pants. Each member purchased material, laid and cut out
their own pants and then proceeded
to sew them together. A job well
done. The members then had the
option to make a stuffed teddy bear.
Next on the program was a short
skit presented by the three of the
newest members.
A good time was had by all.
A special thank you to council for the use of Rosslyn
Community Centre to hold the
meetings and to Donna for putting
up with us. Your support in this
youth club is greatly appreciated.
Our next project will be
“PHOTOGRAPHY” starting in Mid
April. For more information call

Nature’s Tiny Workers Put Food on our Tables
Cross-pollination helps at least 30%
of the world’s crops and 90 % of our
wild plants to thrive. Pollinators
include birds, butterflies, bumble
bees, mason bees, honey bees, etc
(but not wasps, which are predators.)
Without bees to spread
pollen, many plants—including
food crops—would die off.
Foods in your garden or yard relying on bees include: Fruit trees;
blueberries, cherries, cranberries,
strawberries, raspberries, melons
and other fruits; cucumbers (and
the pickles made from cucumbers)
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage,
etc.; onions, carrots, beans, squash
and many other vegetables
All pollinators, including bees, are
in trouble. In urban settings, habitat for bees in surrounding
fields/gardens has disappeared in
favour of concrete, asphalt and
manicured lawns. In our own gardens, we need to make sure we use
alternate crops so that different
plants offer flowers all season long.
Monoculture (growing just one
crop) leaves the bees without a food
source through the entire season.
In our flower gardens we need to
make sure we are choosing flowers
that are bee-friendly. If possible,
chose plants native to our area and
heritage/heirloom
flowers.
Hybrids are bred for their colour or
Thunder Bay Beekeepers’ Association
smell, but the genetic modification
often eliminates what is useful to
the bee.
When planting crops and flowers,
be sure that you aren’t using seeds
coated with a pesticide treatment or
flowers grown from seed in soil
soaked in pesticide. Ask your nursery if they use organic treatments
for insect control. Ask if the flowers
you are buying were bought as
plugs by them, and if so, have they
asked their supplier whether those
sprouts were grown using systemic
pesticides. The systemic pesticide
does not leave the plant even if it
has been repotted by the local
greenhouse or nursery.
Systemic insecticides are drawn up
and retained in all parts of the
plant, including the flower, where
the pollinator comes in contact with
it. Pesticides will affect the bees in
different ways; for example, neonicotinoids appear to affect the bees
nervous system making it difficult
for them to find their way home.
TreeAzin, used for Emerald Ash
borer, is taken back to the hive and
kills off the bee larvae.
An insecticide kills insects; many of
the pollinators are insects, including bees. The chemicals do not differentiate between good insects and
the not-so-welcome bugs.
More than $15 billion a year in
crops are pollinated by bees; fewer
bees means lower crop yields and
increased production costs. It’s in
everyone’s interest to protect our
pollinators, including the bees.
On Wednesday March 25th
at 7:30 p.m. the Thunder Bay 4-H
Leader Association held their
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.
More volunteer are needed to keep
4-H active in our area. If you are
interested in helping in any way, it
would be greatly appreciated. For
more information call Jean at 9352587 or Stacey at 474-3979. Thank
you to all who attended.

A Clean Sweep 45 Years Ago!
by Harold Hunt
Forty-five years ago the
Kakabeka Falls Broomball team,
which was sponsored by the
Kakabeka Falls Hotel, won the
1969-70 season. The five teams in
the league were: Kakabeka Falls,
Murillo, Baird, Great Lakes, and
West Arthur. All regular season
games were played at Chapples
Park.
The Kakabeka Falls team won
both Molson team trophies. The
Molson Festival Trophy was given
for the most games won in the regular sixteen game season. The
Molson Trophy was awarded for
winning the playoffs against the
Murillo and Great Lakes teams.
Individual Molson Golden awards
were won by three members of the
Kakabeka Falls team. Eddie Richard
captured top point scorer in regular
season play; Ernie Cote won for best
goalie; and Wayne Almgren
received the award for most valuable league player.
Kakabeka Falls team members
were: Gordon Almgren, Rodney
Almgren, Wayne Almgren, Bob
Bannon, Ernie Cote, Garnet Foster,
Greg Leiterman, Tom Parker, Lloyd
Phillips, Fred Richard, Eddie
Richard, and Bob Sanders. The team
was coached by Harold “Nip” Hunt.
Ed. Note: Thanks to Harold Hunt for this terrific local history story and photo! If you’d like
to see a blast from your past in print for your community, please email
