(Submitted) » Submitted Enjoy the benefits of reading to your child 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 Reading to and with your child has many benefits. Studies have consistently shown that children who are exposed to reading at a young age are more likely to become good readers themselves, and are generally more successful academically. It is never too early to start reading to your child. There are many advantages to reading aloud, no matter the age and stage of your child. READING TO BABIES Your baby loves to hear the sound of your voice. Children understand words long before they are able to speak, so by sharing books with your baby you are helping build her vocabulary. Choose books with bright pictures and talk about what you see on the page. Give your baby board books to handle, chew on, and explore. When your child becomes familiar with books early in life, she is more likely to continue to have an interest in them as she grows. READING TO TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS When you involve your two to four year old in reading and sharing stories, he begins to understand that the words on the page tell the story. However, this is still much too early to be thinking about teaching him to read. Until about age five, keep the focus on looking at and discussing the pictures, and asking and answering questions. Books do not always have to be read from front to back, and you do not have to read the story as written. By using descriptive words to talk about the pictures and story line, you are adding to your child’s understanding of language. Small children love to hear the same books over and over. Your child will likely start to repeat familiar phrases from a favourite book. This memorization is an important step in learning to read. Choose books that include a lot of rhyme, rhythm and repetition. Books are also a good tool to help your child deal with feelings such as fear or anger, or new experiences like being away from a parent or visiting the dentist. READING TO BEGINNING READERS When your child begins to read, you can take turns reading to each other. Run your finger under the words as you read to allow your child to follow along. Continue to take time on most pages to talk about the pictures or story. Pretend to forget words as you read and ask your child for assistance. Talk about and practise new words. Let your child turn the pages and follow his lead. READING TO READERS Don’t stop reading aloud when your child has learned to read independently. During the elementary school years, children can comprehend at a much higher level than they can read, so choose a chapter book that interests your child and read a bit aloud to her each day. If you come to a new word, stop to give a definition. Before you start to read, ask your child to recall what happened last in the book, and when you come to the end of a chapter, discuss what might come next. Hearing a story read aloud gives helps your child develop her imagination as she pictures the scenes, characters and action in her mind. The key to helping your child develop a love of reading is to make the experience fun. Whether you are cuddling your baby as you look at a picture book, singing the words to a favourite story with your preschooler, or going on an imaginary adventure with your older child, make the most of this time together. This way, you are not only building your child’s literacy skills, but deepening your bond with your child as well.

Vaccinations are an important part of health care for your pets — they are a way to prevent your pet from both catching and spreading an infectious disease. It’s important to understand that the reason we generally see minimal incidents of different viruses and diseases in pets is because we vaccinate them. When we see populations with unvaccinated dogs, we see an increase in incidents of things like parvovirus and distemper. Pets that have no immunity to these viruses and diseases can catch and spread them easily. An unvaccinated dog is high risk to pick up different infectious diseases and viruses, and he is also a risk to spread them. There are canine viruses that we protect our pets from with the “distemper vaccine.” This vaccine, while commonly referred to as the distemper vaccine, is actually a combination vaccination. Most commonly, the DA2PP vaccination is used, which vaccinates against distemper virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. These are all canine specific viruses, meaning they can be easily spread from dog to dog. But rabies is different. This vaccine is required for your pets according to the same bylaw in every single community across Manitoba. Most communities do not have requirements on other vaccines, but rabies is special because it is not a speciesspecific virus. Rabies is a virus that affects the central nervous system and is almost always fatal once clinic signs appear. Canada is not rabies free, and the virus can affect any kind of mammal, including humans. Most people vaccinate their babies and children, with the understanding that these vaccines are responsible for nearly wiping out serious diseases, such as polio. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, immunization has saved more lives in Canada in the last 50 years than any other form of medical intervention. The vast majority of the population would agree that vaccinating human children is important. Babies and young children are most susceptible to disease. In the same fashion, young animals are at the highest risk of picking up viruses and diseases and ensuring these babies receive those “core” vaccines is very important. The canine specific viruses are still quite prevalent in our area, and puppies are most susceptible to canine viruses such as distemper and parvovirus. Currently, there are a large number of cases of parvovirus showing up in southwestern Manitoba. Parvovirus is a highly infectious disease that can spread easily from dog to dog. While regularly vaccinated dogs have protection from the virus, puppies and unvaccinated adult dogs are extremely susceptible. It is important to note that the virus does not require direct dog-to-dog contact. Parvovirus can be picked up from almost anywhere. It only takes contact with a very, very tiny amount of infected stool (and it does not have to be fresh), which could be brought into your home or yard by yourself or guests on shoes, hands or even car tires. Dogs and puppies that pick up these viruses can become very, very ill. Most cases require veterinary intervention, and untreated, many puppies do not survive. (And if there is a concern about the cost of vaccines, you can be assured that having a dog on intravenous fluids at the vet clinic while being treated for parvovirus or distemper can cost several hundred dollars.) As with human children, young animals and unvaccinated adults need a set of core vaccines. Your vaccine schedule following those initial vaccines should be discussed with your vet. Revaccination intervals vary from clinic to clinic, and often depend on the vaccine manufacturer’s recommendations. The life of these subsequent vaccines has been brought to question by some recent special interest news articles, and the longevity of vaccines has been a recent topic of debate. Unfortunately, some are misinterpreting the message of these news pieces and simply not vaccinating their pets — and that could be the very reason we are seeing an increase in incidents of parvovirus right now. When people are not vaccinating, they are not only putting their own dogs at risk, they are also creating a risk for others. It is only by vaccinating our pets that we are able to control and work to eliminate these infectious diseases and viruses. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association released a position statement that indicates they support the use of vaccinations by HEREʼS YOUR FREE CAR, KAREN The House of Nissan is pleased to announce that the winner of the Nissan Micra promotion #meandmymicra is Karen Burton, of Shilo.

(Submitted) veterinarians to control and prevent infectious disease. In their position statement, they indicate that “optimal revaccination intervals may differ for the various vaccines and antigens administered, and may vary from patient to patient to address their individual risk factors.” When referring to points to be considered, they indicate age, breed, health status, environment, lifestyle, travel habits, risk for exposure and regional variations need to be considered. ADVERTISEMENT We bring the showroom to you… Anywhere in Westman In the window covering industry, putting the finishing touches on your home often means dressing your windows to create a beautiful look and to add value to your home. At Budget Blinds, owned by Sue and Gord Swarbrick, they do that and more. “We create beautiful windows, all the while being mindful of function. We bring the rolling showroom to your door and that’s anywhere in Westman,” Sue Swarbrick said. “Budget Blinds offers full service custom window coverings — blinds, shades, shutters, draperies, window film and Tableaux Faux Iron.” The Swarbricks relocated to Brandon from Saskatchewan three years ago to start their new venture. Sue worked with Budget Blinds in the Regina market and fell in love with the business. “We researched Brandon and decided it was THE place to live,” Swarbrick said. This North American company started in 1992 and has nearly 1,000 franchised territories serving more than 4,000 cities throughout the United States and Canada. The Swarbricks are proud to be part of this family of franchises. They appreciate the expertise and support, as well as the buying power. Budget Blinds recently moved to a new location on Park Avenue East. With a team of seven and a growing business, they found they really needed more space, especially in the warehouse. They are also looking to expand even further by hiring another installer. And what are they best known for? “We’re best known for our service, our warranties and our willingness to go to all corners of our territory in the Westman region,” Swarbrick said. “Our customers are just thrilled that we’ll come to their home for even just one window.” Having won a 2013 Rookie of the Year Award from Budget Blinds Corporate, the Swarbricks are proud of the business they’ve established in the last three years. “We love what we do here, and it shows,” she said. “We’ve built many solid relationships, we treat people really well and we’ve been successful. We are just extremely grateful for our customers.” Being educated and staying on top of the latest trends is important to their business as well. It’s not often that you hear someone say they attended Drapery School, but that’s exactly where the Swarbricks found themselves last October. “There is so much detail that goes into designing a custom drapery and after extensive training we have the confidence to bring that process into homes and businesses as well,” Swarbrick said. “We have also recently acquired a beautiful stock panel program that allows us to offer yet another price point to our customers.” In addition, they also take team members every January to the Budget Blinds corporate convention. It’s their chance to bring back the latest trends to share with their customers and to stay in touch with industry developments. With hundreds of attendees, it’s one of the largest conventions of its kind. As for the latest trends, Swarbrick believes motorization will really take off in the next few years. “Budget Blinds is a leader in motorization and we have one of the best price points,” Swarbrick said. “With child safety at the forefront, the experts predict that in the next five to 10 years we’ll hardly see a cord (on blinds). There’s going to be a huge evolution towards motorization.” » Brandon Sun The Best in Custom Window Coverings Residential & Commercial BLINDS SHADES SHUTTERS DRAPERIES Free In-Home Consultation Anywhere In Westman 25 Off Signature Series % 50% Off Motorization Blinds, Shades, Shutters, Draperies & More 204-727-4766 WE’VE MOVED TO SERVE YOU BETTER! 381 Park Avenue East, Unit B Brandon, MB www.budgetblinds.ca 4 • COMMUNITY NEWS THE BRANDON SUN • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2014 Looking back at a challenging year in the garden Albert Parsons GONE GARDENIN’ Albert Parsons lives, writes, and gardens in Minnedosa. » [email protected] The outdoor gardening season has ended and as I go about doing the last minute autumn chores and preparing the garden for winter, I look back and evaluate how my garden performed during the gardening season that has now come to a close. This year was one of challenges, that is for sure. I was late getting my earliest seeding done in the vegetable garden as snow lingered well into April. This meant that we didn’t taste our first radish, lettuce and multiplier onions until early June. I also delayed the planting out of most of my bedding plants — especially those that resent cool temperatures — until the weather finally warmed up. This did not occur until well into June, causing tomatoes, squash, zucchini, and peppers to be late in producing fruit. In fact, I was able to find only one small buttercup squash and no minipumpkins to exhibit in our fall horticultural show on Aug. 19. Even by Sept. 5 when we held our annual produce sale, there were few squash and no minipumpkins on the vines; I thought they would be a writeoff. To my surprise — and relief — there was no killing frost during all of September and both squash and minipumpkins finally had time to produce fruit. The lovely warm two weeks we had in mid-September did the trick. I guess the lesson is to never give up and to have patience! The peppers and tomatoes were somewhat slow as well, but both yielded good crops; in fact, I had a great tomato crop, enough to enable me to take boxes of tomatoes to our produce sale and to another charity event I support. Several more boxes were given to friends — there never seems to be a shortage of people looking for tomatoes in the fall. Blight was only a minor problem this year, which surprised me because of all the cool wet weather we had. I had fungicide at the ready and actually did spray the tomatoes a couple of times as a precaution but I put the sprayer away when there appeared to be little evidence of disease. We had a The new Sun Patiens, designed to grow in the sun, were a hit in my garden. wonderful vegetable garden and of course, there was little need to water because of all the rain.

The prizes look very exciting — everyone who performs will win prizes!” she said. Not only is WGT one of the longest running talent contests in this region, it has got to be one of the most fun ones to take in as it’s a familyorientated affair full of a little something for everyone. So whether it’s grandma highlights of my year that is always circled on my calendar. What should contestants be mindful of as they go through their routines? Hart-Moffat says there’ll be a variety of point-scoring opportunities, including the obvious sections on the judging sheets such as showmanship, costumes and staging. “Contestants should also exude confidence and professionalism throughout their sequences, songs, poems or whatever routine they do — all while letting their talent shine through,” she said. As usual there’ll be lots of clogging, the uncle yodelling, your niece who can sing like a bird or the band that may get a little too loud in the garage next door, if you or anyone you know of who possesses talent and wants the opportunity to show it off, the next step is to sign up. Aspiring contestants can get entry forms at Phillips Insurance on First and Victoria, or call Darlene at 204-730-0927 and you will have an entry form emailed to you. The cost to enter is $20 but that includes your dinner and beverage. WGT entrants have ranged from singers to dancers and everything in between. There’ve also been cloggers and comedians and even impressionists. One of the wildest and most entertaining acts was 2012 winner Christina Munchinsky with her zany hoola hoop routine! Here Christina is pictured in her hoops while her proud papa Dean piles them on. (Submitted) DRESS UP EVERY ROOM The Kinette Club of Brandon is preparing to roll out the seventh annual edition of Westman’s Got Talent early next month. Will it be a lucky one for you? If you or someone you know has outstanding talent, this is an event that not only gives you the opportunity to show it off, it’s an opportunity to win a cash prize. There are a few changes this year that one of the main organizers, Kinette Darlene Hart-Moffat, figures will be for the better — starting with a new venue. “Back in 2008 we started off at the Ukrainian Reading Hall and the final year there we were bursting at the seams! Every chair was taken,” she said. “We tried a theatre-style venue last year at the Evans Theatre which was really nice. “This year we decided to switch to Houston’s, which we are all extremely excited about — a great stage, professional sound man, and a delicious meal for everyone. I think this will be the best year for Westman’s Got Talent. I love that we are serving dinner, too.” Hart-Moffat says attendees can now make a full fun evening out of this year’s WGT and there’ll be plenty of scrumptious food options on the menu. “Our audience and contestants will get to choose from a mouth-watering steak sandwich and sautéed mushrooms, the Mae West burger, a Tex-Mex burger, a Philly cheese burger, chicken strips, sweet chili wrap, or a chicken bacon ranch wrap,” Hart-Moffat said. “All meals come with a choice of fries veggies, too. I’ve had a few of these meals before and they are delicious.” As of press time, the list of entrants was growing and Hart-Moffat says they’re already over half of where they were last year at this point leading up to the contest. “We already have plenty of entries in. We have comedians, musicians and dancers signed up already,” she said. “We’d like to see more of those types of entries, plus magicians, poets, jugglers and anyone with a special talent.” Another notable change with the event this year will be the separating contestants into two different age groups. “Separating the age groups was a must,” she said. “Adults didn’t like competing against the kids so we solved that problem and now they have their own show.” The under-18 group will perform Sunday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m., then the 18-and-over group will take to the Houston’s stage on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 5:30 p.m. I’m pleased as punch to be back on the judge’s panel yet again as this is one the 20 OFF % ALL REGULAR PRICED ACCESSORIES Lamps • Plants • Pictures • Ornaments • Mirrors Many Recent Arrivals!

Well, today I am going to do something different. Let’s talk about physical activity and the amount of calories that you can burn — all while making friends and having a fun night out. The little information piece below is from the Fitness For Life website and is based on only 30 minutes of bowling. So keep in mind that the average league runs about two hours, so just multiply the calories burned by four and presto — it’s a great way to burn off that sweet treat you had during the day. l If you weigh 150 lbs, you can burn approximately 105 calories in 30 minutes. l If you weigh 200 lbs, you can burn approximately 145 calories in 30 minutes. l If you weigh 250 lbs, you can burn approximately 180 calories in 30 minutes. Just a reminder for all Westman bowlers who bowl out of Thunderbird Bowl, register your bowling card online.

Sharon and staff would like to welcome Dustin to West-Fit THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2014 • THE BRANDON SUN COMMUNITY NEWS • 7 Pop fizz, washing pillows and rules for blowing your nose Reena Nerbas SUBSTITUTE & SOLVE Reena Nerbas is a rural Manitoba home economist in a lab coat — and she’s not afraid to use it. Keep your questions coming: » [email protected] (204) 320-2757 Dear Reena, I always purchase two-litre pop bottles because they tend to be cheaper than buying small bottles. I only drink a little pop every few days. Is there a way to keep the fizz in pop instead of pouring flat pop down the drain? – Alex pillows (both bedroom and living room) outside. Leave them for 24 hours to kill bacteria. Dear Alex, After opening a two-liter pop bottle, pour most of the pop into smaller one-litre bottles. Cap the bottles and the pop will stay fizzy longer. Doing this decreases the amount of air space in the bottle and less carbon dioxide is released. Dear Reena, Does it matter how many times I blow my nose into one tissue before throwing it out? Silly question, but I had to ask. – Carolyn Dear Reena, I often throw my pillows into the washing machine and then the dryer. They take forever to properly dry and since they are drying slowly, they carry a musty odour. Any suggestions? – Marcus Dear Carolyn, This is one of those questions that you can ask 100 people and get 100 different answers. According to healthguidance.org, you should only blow your nose once into a tissue before discarding it. Using the same tissue repeatedly risks putting germs back onto your face and hands. Some people use a tissue once and then turn it around and use the other side before discarding it. Extra tip: To teach a child how to blow Dear Marcus, Add half cup white vinegar to the wash before washing pillows. Toss a few tennis balls into your dryer to speed up the drying process. With winter just around the corner, you will have opportunities to toss his or her nose light a candle and have the child blow it out with his or her nose (make sure it’s not on someone’s birthday cake at the time). your compost and add to your soil next year. Submitted by Sabine Impress your friends with rainbow cupcakes. Mix together a recipe of white cake batter and divide the batter into four or five separate bowls. Use a variety of food-gel colours to colour each bowl of batter. Spoon a little of each batter colour into muffin cups until each cup is two-thirds full. Use white muffin cups so that guests can see all of the rainbow colours. – Submitted by Marie Re: Watermarks on furniture Hello Reena, Been there, done that — oil of camphor works like magic on furniture water stains. Wipe it on, wait five minutes and wipe it off. Camphor is available at drugstores as well as online. – Trev READER FEEDBACK: Re: Ugly toilet water stains Dear Reena, I am responding to a letter from Leona regarding her well-water problem. I am a city girl who moved to the country. My mother-in-law worked in rig camps some years ago and tried a product with the hopes of no longer having to replace toilets. The product name is Sparkle (available at Sobeys). I use it once a week. At first the stains were so bad, it took a lot of scrubbing. Now my toilet stays clean with very little scrubbing. But be careful because I did sit the bottle on the counter and it left a stain. Hopefully this will help other readers. – Bev SMART TIPS OF THE WEEK: I have the world’s best solution for making leaf cleanup easier. Run your lawnmower over the leaves without a bagger. This will break up leaves and create small pieces. Run your lawnmower over the yard once more, this time using a bagger. You will notice that what normally would have filled 10 garbage bags will only fill about two. Throw the small amount of leaves into Keeping You Informed I ENJOY YOUR QUESTIONS AND TIPS, KEEP THEM COMING. NEED A CORPORATE PRESENTER ON THE TOPIC “HARNESS THE POWER OF WORDS”?

CAR SHOW SUPPORTS ʻROOM FOR RENEWALʼ The Brandon Regional Health Centre Foundation is pleased to announce the receipt of a generous donation of $1,971 raised during the Childhood Dreams Car Show held Sept. 14 at Valleyview School in Brandon. Proceeds were donated in support of the BRHC Foundation’s newly launched “Room for Renewal” fundraising campaign to help create, renovate and rejuvenate patient wards at the Brandon Regional Health Centre, which includes the complete relocation of the pediatrics and neonatal intensive care units to the second floor of the hospital. This donation represents the commitment of event organizers, sponsors and participants to improve the quality of life for children in the community. “Our committee believes that it is important to give where it matters — right here at home,” says event organizer Darren Darvill.
