Winter Walking Safety Winter is not over yet! When out and about enjoying the crisp air and frosted

scenery, keep these tips in mind.

• Keep driveways and sidewalks clear from snow and ice

• Wear well-insulated, lightweight, waterproof, non-slip rubber tread soled

boots, with low heels.

• Use of a cane or walking sticks will help with balance; make sure to use

the correct height and to use it properly. If you are in doubt, ask your phar-

macist or other health care provider.

• Help other road users see you by wearing bright colours or reflective ma-

terial.

• Prevent heat loss by wearing a warm hat, scarf, and mittens or gloves.

Dress in layers as well.

• When faced with an icy surface you cannot avoid, adjusting your body

movements can increase your stability.

- Slow down. Keep feet more than a foot apart to provide a base of

support.

-keep your knees loose by bending them a bit. This will keep your cen-

tre of gravity lower to the ground, which will further stabilize the body.

-make small steps, placing your whole foot down. Shift your weight

slowly to this foot and bring your other foot to meet it the same way. Some

prefer to shuffle or drag their feet. Just remember to place your whole foot on

the ice at once and keep your base of support about one foot wide.

When a Clubroot case is reported, our Plant Health Officer along with an agronomist will work with the producer to help develop a plan to stop the spread and eliminate the clubroot fungus on the property. The municipality is hoping this is a proactive approach in helping limit or eliminating the spread of clubroot.

Fun Fact: In 1946, Guy Longman was President, C.J Scholey was V.P. and R. Plews was Secretary-Treasurer. Directors and Lady Directors were listed separately. What would the ME TOO movement think of that?! Hay & water were supplied free - to-day we supply free water.

Timothy, Rye Grass, Brome Grass, Clover, Alfalfa, Sun-flowers, Corn fodder, Rape, Marquis wheat, Rye, Oats, Barley and Flax were included in the classes. Did you know that Canola was developed from rape-seed?

Did you know that Marquis wheat was developed at Agassiz B.C., Brandon, Indian Head and Ottawa as an earlier maturing wheat with excellent yield and bak-ing qualities? Plant breeding was a totally new con-cept in 1892 when William Saunders crossed Hard Red Calcutta and Red Fife. By 1918, Marquis wheat was 80 - 90% of the total wheat acreage.

MARYFIELD SCC

The SCC has had a busy month and we would like

to send some thank-yous to community members

who helped us get through it. We had our annual

school dance on February 7th. Our theme was win-

ter wonderland. Instead of buying decorations we

borrowed almost everything! In no particular or-

der, thank you to Cindy Cairns for the projector

light, Nora Hill for the table cloths, Rebecca John-

son for the icicle lights and Fairlight Drop-In for the

giant, blow-up snowman. We had our hot lunch on

February 13th. That was the day the power was out

in the morning! Thank you to Bryan Swallow for

letting us cook all the hot dogs on the grill at the

rink. The SCC values all the help that we receive to

make our school the best it can be!

There will be a Spring Trade Fair at the Harmony Center on Saturday, April 18, 10:00-3:00. If anyone would like a table, please contact Janet Lemon 646-4604.

Community Acres

The proceeds from Community Acres helps fund a major portion of the Maryfield Rink’s annual operat-ing expenses. Each year farmers and interested parties volunteer to seed, spray, stone pick, swath and harvest the rented acres. The seed is often donated as is the chemical and other products needed. We are thankful for the farmers who have done this work over the past years but we would really like to see others get involved. If you are a farmer and you or your family benefit from the Maryfield Rink, please consider giving the Maryfield Rec. Board a hand with Community Acres. The Rec. Board will pay custom rates for work done on community acres. Farmers who then choose to donate that back to the Rec. Board can receive a donation re-ceipt through the Village of Maryfield. For more in-formation or to volunteer or donate, contact Chris Lincoln, Daryl Erickson or Bryce Olson.
