Local municipalities’ staff were on hand last Friday, April 26th, for training on setting up, maintaining and

draining aquadams. Th e training was held at the Town Yard on Armitage Avenue. Th e Town of Minnedosa recently purchased two 50 foot aquadams to protect infrastructure against fl ooding. A 100 foot dam costs $3,500 apiece and can be linked to-gether in straight, or curved formations as needed. Dams are fi lled with whatever water source is available. When fi lled, the dams sit two and a half feet high, and about six

feet wide when deployed. One 100 foot piece takes about 90 minutes for the entire setup - many hours faster than setting up a sandbag dam of similar length, width and size. Th e Province of Manitoba Department of Infrastruc-ture and Transportation off ered the training, and carries additional aquadams that can be borrowed as needed as supplies last. Barrett Nelson of Emergency Measures says the dams will be used “if we get fl ash fl ooding as a result of overland fl ooding coming down into the valley on the south and north hills. Th e trigger for use is based on ob-servation of and amount of actual water we see coming.”

Minnedosa Minor Baseball has been

approved for $20,000 from Community Places Mani-toba. In anticipation of the loss of two fi elds to the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre (MREC) site in the near and foresee-able future, the associa-tion has been fundraising and organizing to build two fi elds northwest of the current fi elds’ location. Th ey’re pulling out all the stops, planning for fencing, irrigation, clay, dugouts, and even cross-ing their fi ngers for a scoreboard. Th e project hinges on a lot of community sup-port. Paying a company to put in irrigation would use up the $20,000 in one shot. So, the association is recruiting and will be get-ting around to organize volunteers in the near fu-ture. Th e R.M.’s of Odanah, Minto, and Saskatchewan, folks from MREC, and fi -nally Clint Moff at have already off ered to help out with site prep. C o l l e e n L e w i s , Minnedosa Minor Base-ball Secretary, says that baseball in Minnedosa

stretches back all the way to 1905 when a ladies’ softball club was active. Th e current association has been around for over 30 years. Th is year, Val Dornn, says there are seven teams made up of about 75 play-ers total for ages 4 - 18. Th e season is typically eight weeks, with opportunities beyond regular season for

higher level competition. Th e group looks for-ward to making the new site happen. Lewis says the new fi elds off er the change for Minnedosa Minor Baseball to host regional and provincial competitions. Earlier this month, the group was awarded $7,300 from the Federal Govern-ment.

By CAM DAHL, Manitoba Beef ProducersGeneral Manager

It’s May and most people in Manitoba are wondering when spring will actually arrive. For many people

with a nine-to-fi ve job, this is a question borne out of frustration with a long cold winter—but not one that puts their livelihoods at risk. Th e question is a lot more urgent for many beef producers in the province. Th is has been a very long winter for the beef indus-try. Feed supplies were short going into the winter. A combination of the ongoing impacts of the 2011 fl ood and drought in southern Manitoba meant reduced production. Compounding the problem was the signif-icant demand from the drought regions of the U.S. that sucked hay out of all parts of the Canadian prairies. Th e unexpected length of winter has intensifi ed the feed shortage problem. Producers are struggling to fi nd adequate feed supplies to get their cattle to grass. Preparing for another fl ood has only compounded problems. Both Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) and Mani-toba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI) have taken calls from producers looking for ways to stretch feed supplies out until pastures become avail-able. MAFRI and MBP have been working together to try to get the message out that there are options for pro-ducers. I urge anyone still facing feed shortages to call either MBP or MAFRI to discuss the options before the problem becomes unmanageable. We all know what caused the feed shortage. Last spring and summer there were still thousands of acres of hay and pasture land either fl ooded or unproductive as a result of the 2011 fl ood. Feed supplies were further diminished by the drought experienced in southern Manitoba.

Aff ected beef producers required assistance last summer and fall to purchase and transport hay. Many of these producers received fl ood water in 2011 so that other areas of Manitoba were not fl ooded. Th ey were promised compensation and they deserve compensa-tion. It is not right that producers are being forced to contemplate liquidating their herds because the re-quired compensation has not been forthcoming. MBP is disappointed with both the federal and pro-vincial governments over the lack of progress on this crit-ical issue. We have seen both the federal and provincial budgets be introduced, neither carrying a word about compensation. Th ere must be co-operation between the two levels of government to deliver the required forage shortfall and transportation program. Instead, they appear to be at a stalemate, blaming each other for the lack of progress. Th ose of you who were among the 300 plus people at the Marquette fl ood meeting had the unfortunate opportunity to witness this fi rsthand. I want every beef producer in Manitoba to know that we have not given up on this issue. To date, we have not received an acceptable answer from our po-litical leaders. But despite the passage of time, we know that the eff ects of the 2011 fl ood continue. We know that many of you have been impacted by the drought. And we know that the spring of 2013 has made things worse, both by its late arrival and because land is, once again, at risk of being fl ooded. MBP’s key message to governments is “Manitoba’s economy cannot aff ord more downsizing in the beef industry.” A loss of producers and herds will cost jobs in both urban and rural Manitoba. If beef production is allowed to decline, our communities will be hol-lowed out and our municipalities will lose the tax base required to provide the necessary services. Supporting the beef industry is in the best interest of every citizen of Manitoba.

Flood and drought impacts must be addressed

As I sit at my computer, laying out this week’s Tribune, the calendar on the wall reads May 1st but looking

out my window it looks more like January 1st. Our re-gion was plummeted with what will hopefully be our last snowfall of the season Tuesday night. By the time you read this Friday, I pray the snow has melted! On a more positive note, everyone is anxiously wait-

ing for summer to arrive next month and before that hap-pens, May long weekend returns. Th e Chamber of Com-merce is currently taking addresses for its annual long weekend townwide garage sales. At press time, 12 people have confi rmed their plans to hold a garage sale that weekend, which hopefully WON’T include snow! Also, registration forms for entries in this year’s Fun Fest parade were sent out this week with a deadline of June 21st. Th ere are brighter, warmer days ahead...I hope!

Eight months after he was appointed, the

Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Commanding Of-fi cer for D Division (cop speak for Manitoba), As-

sistant Commissioner Kevin Brosseau held an introductory teleconfer-ence with media in West-ern Manitoba. Frequently over the half-hour, Bros-seau emphasized his in-terest in moving towards

a more community based approach to policing, look-ing for and working on the root causes of crime towards prevention along with community part-ners. He spoke highly of Minnedosa’s Constable Huddle and his eff orts to connect with folks in Minnedosa through his newspaper column, as a basketball coach, through chili cook-off s and other community events. He also emphasized that local detachments are being encouraged to support local community approaches to crime pre-vention and suppression. “Th ere was a time when we moved away from the community policing mod-el, and some communi-ties weren’t that thrilled,” said Brosseau. “Th ere will always be consistency of service but we want to be in a position where we are localizing services to what local communities want. I expect commanders to be sharing this message down to the local level.” Brosseau also touched on how communities in western Manitoba have a diverse range of safety is-sues, saying “I would love

to have the commanders talking with their mayors and reeves to say ‘ok what are the collective prob-lems?’ is it impaired driv-ing, is it crimes against persons? It will likely be a combination of those things.” He also discussed the challenge of provid-ing value for service; mak-ing choices about how resources are distributed across the province and recognizing the invest-ment of local municipali-

ties and the province in the RCMP service. Brosseau had served with the RCMP for about 10 years in Burnaby, BC and locations in the Yukon before earning his bach-elor of Laws from the Uni-versity of Alberta, and later a Master of Laws from Har-vard Law School. He has held positions in the Stra-tegic Policy and Planning Branch at RCMP Head-quarters and as Senior Director of Operations at

the Commission for Pub-lic Complaints Against the RCMP.

Judith McCaskill is a finalist in the Wom-

en Business Owners of Manitoba Woman En-trepreneur of the Year Award for her generous philanthropy. Her Sandy Lake Hotel Saturday Meat Drives have raised over $225,000 for local proj-ects and charities over the past 10 years. She started the draws when she real-ized that even though she wanted to give back to the community, running a hotel seven days a week left no time for anything else. At the end of 2011, In-dustry Canada reported that women were running only 17% of the 1.1 million

small businesses across the country. But while McCaskill thinks that women owned business-es are on the rise, wom-en-run hotels are rare. “I worked in investments for 20 years before this, and running a hotel was never one of our top ten picks for anybody.” But her then-husband had a friend with a business op-portunity. Shortly after they bought the hotel to-gether, they divorced. She kept the hotel. “I say now that I’m living his dream, but I’m happy doing it. I like it more than every-thing else. You either love it or you hate it.” McCaskill employs 8-10 staff throughout the year at what she calls a

‘gathering space’ for the community. The hotel offers four rooms, but is most active in the res-taurant/ lounge (famous wings and Friday steak nights!) and summer pa-tio and beer garden. Part of McCaskill’s success in running a ru-ral business, (“a feat in itself!” she says,) could be her quick and keen networking. “I was one of the founding people to bring in the Sandy Lake Merchants’ Association. We communicate with each other and work to-gether, and help support new businesses.” She’s also a part of a group that brings exercise programs to the community. Right now Onanole-based Joy

Keller comes in to offer chair yoga classes. “We’re lucky- she helps to in-stall yoga teachers across North America!” While McCaskill spent a long time in Brandon, she grew up on a farm outside of Glad-stone. Sandy Lake’s popu-lation varies between 350 and 1400 between sea-sons, and that suits her fine. “This is home to me.” The award will be de-cided May 16th. Regard-less of the outcome, Mc-Caskill says, “I’m really tickled just to be nomi-nated. I love to give back to a place that has given me so much support. I’ve already won.”

Minnnedosa Mayor, Ray Orr, is provin-

cial vice president of the TransCanada Yellowhead

Highway Association, which had its Annual Gen-eral Meeting earlier this month. Th e TYHA is a four province, non-profi t asso-ciation established in 1947 to promote the develop-ment, maintenance and use of the Yellowhead Cor-ridor as vital to Canada’s national transportation system and national unity.

Approximately 180 mem-bers of which about half are municipalities, and the rest are private sector. In Manitoba, Orr has participated in advocat-ing for upgrades including shoulders, a traffi c control mechanism at the junction of #5 highway in Neepawa, and diverting dollars from a proposed overpass at the

Junction of #1 and #16 near Portage la Prairie towards Yellowhead upgrades. Th e more traffi c on the Yellowhead, the more exposure for communities along the highway. “We

keep pushing for upgrades to get more traffi c through the highway,” says Orr, adding high levels of traffi c along a safe and driveable highway supports local commerce and tourism.

Parents often run out of ideas and energy

to entertain their chil-dren during summer break. Th is summer, the Minnedosa Community Child Care Co-operative (MCCCC) has a variety of fun and exciting activities planned for their daycare, nursery school and school age programs. At the end of June, children enrolled in the school age program will join children at the day-care for Mud Day, where they can paint with this interesting medium and cool off running through man-made pools of mud. Also, at the end of June is the Nursery School gradu-

ation, which will be held at Tanner’s Crossing School in “Th e Pit”. Registration for nursery school for Sep-tember enrollment will be held in May. Children three years of age will have the morning class, while the four-year-olds will be slotted for the afternoon class. Within these pro-grams there are Spirit Weeks, Teddy Bear Pic-nics, Pool and Sprinkler days, Folkarama, and MCCCC Summer Olym-pics. Th e MCCCC Sum-mer Olympics will be a nine day event fi lled with weightlifting, soccer and table tennis tournaments, and a triathlon. Just like the Olympics, there will even be a closing ceremo-

ny. Other summer activi-ties include possibilities of a car wash, hot lunches on selective days, fi eld trips to the bowling alley and beach park, and a horse-drawn hayride. Among all the en-ergy-draining activities planned for the children this summer, MCCCC is looking into launching a Kindergarten program, pending government ap-proval. Th e Kindergarten

program is planning to provide child care for kin-dergarteners every other day (opposite of TCS Kin-dergarten classes) during the school year. Th e Minnedosa Com-munity Child Care Co-operative is hoping that 2013 will be one of the best years for the children. With a lot of fresh air, cre-ative play, and building friendships, 2013 should be memorable.

With the school year quickly wrapping up,

the past two weeks here at the high school has very much been a waiting game regarding the weather. One day it seems to be warm enough that the parking lot is full of mud, and the next day we’re scraping snow off our car windows. Th is has aff ected a lot of things like high school sport practices, most of which have been held in-side due to the snow on the fi elds and the chilly weath-er. Luckily for badminton though, they’ve had noth-ing to worry about. Stu-dents involved in badmin-ton have been practicing for their zone’s that were held on April 25th in Neepawa and Minnedosa. Five out of 14 participants advanced to provincials that are being held in Winnipeg this week. Colton Spraggs and

Emily MacDonald placed fi rst in mixed doubles and Braden Demontigny and Carlene Dmytriw placed second. In Boys’ singles, Jared Dornn placed second and Shane Retzlaff placed third. In other sports, rugby has started their bright and early seven o’clock morn-ing runs to prepare for their home opener happening on Friday, May 3rd. Alyssa Arvisais, playing her sec-ond last year on the team, says that the girls’ rugby players “Have been trying very hard this year to be prepared by starting prac-tices as early as December”. Shane Cameron, a senior player on the boys’ rugby team, said, “Even though we’ve had a slow start to the season because of the weather, we’re making the best of it by practicing at the truck stop and it looks like we’ll have a good team this year.” Both players are ex-cited and looking forward

to the season. Earlier this year MCI was introduced to a new school club by a group of students called the Eco Group. Since last Monday was Earth Day, the group decided to call last week “Earth Week”, with an-nouncements informing students about the impor-tance of recycling and water conservation. Th is included the grade nine and tens get-ting a chance to go on an interesting trip to the Waste Management site to learn about what happens there. MCI’s C.H.A.N.G.E. (Citizens Helping All Na-tions Grow Equally) host-ed their annual famine sleepover at the school. Students got pledges to participate so they get a sense of what less fortunate countries have to deal with. Th is helped push them over their fundraising goal for the year so they can honour their pledge to Mission of Hope Haiti. Th ey passed the

time by doing educational activities, playing games and watching movies so they didn’t have time to notice if they were hungry. C.H.A.N.G.E. appreciates all the chaperones and volun-teers who helped out! It’s hard to believe that our school year is quickly wrapping up, and sum-mer will soon be on its way. Hopefully we’ll be able to make it through these last couple months without any more snow!

Our sympathy is extended to the Anderson family of Rapid City on the loss of mother and grandmother,

Lily Anderson. A number from the area attended her fu-neral at Memories Chapel in Brandon on Saturday. Malcolm and Shirley Rose visited last week with niece Jennifer Niittynen of Petawawa, ON who was vis-iting with her grandmother, Rae Rose. Jennifer was also able to attend her other grandmother’s, (Joan Crawford of Brandon) 91st birthday party. Th e snow has fi nally started to melt. Hopefully spring has come after one of the longest winters in recent memories. Kayla Hudon is home following her year of univer-sity. She will be working for Bayer CropScience in this area for the summer. Good luck Kayla!

Th is represents the land’s fertility to the Ukrainian people and expresses good wishes. Th e off ering of the bread represents the warmth of Ukrainian hospitality and the salt symbolizes eternal friendship. Th e dance group performed 23 dances during the evening and ended with a lively Kolomyka that included all the dancers performing on stage. During the evening the dancers showcased all of their talents and hard work from throughout the year. It is a time that the dancers really look forward to.

Our 4-H Multi-Purpose Club has had a busy year. We have had monthly meetings and a lot of extra fun.

Our members had an ice-fi shing and skating party in January. On February 23rd and 24th some of our members went to Winnipeg for a sleepover at the Aviation Museum. Th is included a fl ashlight tour of the museum, building model planes and taking a fl ight test. Th ere was also a 3-D archery shoot on March 13th that a lot of 4-H members went to. Th e Multi-Purpose 4-H windup included swimming and pizza, it was awesome! Th is week we had our Achievement Night where we got to show off all of our project work from this 4-H year. Projects included everything from plants and snacks to trapping and sewing. 4-H also gave a tribute to Ann Man-dziuk who helped us and judged our projects for a long time and she retired this year. Mrs. Karen Bramley was our Parent Leader this year and helped us learn about meet-ings and 4-H. Th is is my last report on our 4-H year. Kids should think about joining 4-H next year – it is tons of fun and you learn new skills too!

Rolling River Festival of the Arts (RRFA) held its an-nual meeting at Rivers Baptist Church on Monday,

April 29th. In addition to the Rivers executive, three Minnedosa-area residents attended to take back sup-plies, for their town will be hosting the festival in 2014 and 2015. Guests were Val Dornn (president), Louis Uhryniuk and Eleanor Epp. Members agreed to renew our scholarships to As-sociated Manitoba Arts Festivals provincial competition later this month at Canadian Mennonite University. We supply $100 for the fi rst-place intermediate Canadian Composer Class and second place ($50) in junior vocal. Tanya Cameron will be contacted to conduct an audit review of our books before they are passed to Minnedosa; it was noted some bills are outstanding. It was also noted that had it not been for the $5,000 dona-tion received from the Dorothy Hart estate, the festival would’ve operated in the red this year. Members were reminded that festival participation numbers continue to decline. RRFA spends two years in Rivers and two years in Minnedosa. Th e previous time in Rivers (2009) saw 311 entries, the fi nal time in Minnedosa (2011) had 261 en-tries; our current rotation had 244 entries in 2012 and 225 in 2013. Dance and piano entries remain constant but other disciplines are dropping. Rivers had previous-ly discussed off ering one week of festival; Minnedosa admitted they have also considered reducing the time frame and number of disciplines. As with Rivers, Minnedosa is struggling to fi ll ex-ecutive positions; they have no offi cial committee in place and have not set dates for 2014. If festival returns to Rivers in 2016, only two of nine have agreed to work again in the same position; most signifi cantly, president Allison Hamm has resigned. Rivers Baptist Church asked to purchase our cord-less microphone system. After some discussion, it was agreed to sell to the church on the condition that RRFA (Rivers) is allowed to use the same during sessions in Rivers... if needed.

On April 20th Brian At-kinson and his son

Michael and Cindy (At-kinson) Poncsak of Bran-don visited with their Aunt Shirley and the Pederson family. Many friends at-tended the funeral for Gerald Pederson and those from out of town were: Gordon and April Machjez of Winnipeg; Ar-nold and Marilyn Grambo of Brandon; Bill Davidson of Brandon; Frank and Helen Toews of Carman; Stan and Ann Marks of Winnipeg; Bob and Marge Drysdale of Ingelow; Da-ryl Mitchell of Elie and Barb Cochrane, a teaching friend from Silverton. Also attending were the three sisters and their husbands and a brother and his wife of Barb (Rod) Pederson,

from Elm Creek. Kenn and Kathy (Senko) McDonald of Winnipeg also called in for a visit. Th e Regional Cribbage Tournament that had been cancelled in early April be-cause of “bad weather” was held in the Minnedosa 50+ Activity Centre on April 23rd. Ten tables of play-ers attended, including six from Newdale. When the scores were all added up the top winners were our local players, Gordon Clark and Gerald (Gerry) Watkins. Congratulations to these winners and it just shows that if the “card gods” are with you, amaz-ing things really happen! Eileen Bradley and Garry Tolton, along with Hilda Davies and Eva Merry had a great outing, but no prizes. Th ey were served a delicious noon lunch and

everyone enjoyed the so-cial time. We are very sorry to report that our only store, Newdale Food ‘N Stuff is closing. Th is also leaves the Post Offi ce question-able as it leases the east part of the store. It’s a problem facing many small community busi-nesses, as there are fewer residents, which mean fewer customers, which means less items available because it is not fi nancially feasible to order in large quantities if the products aren’t moving. Th e store has had the “for sale” on it for some time. It will defi -nitely impact our seniors and the Meals Program at Harrison House. We’d like to extend our best wishes to Lil Far-rend who underwent sur-gery last week in Brandon. Hope we see you home soon. Several from town at-tended the Legion Wing Dedication at the Bend Th eatre on Saturday, April 27th. A good crowd was entertained by the Dinner Chorus and the CD pre-sentation from the 25th Anniversary Celebrations reminded us of the his-tory of this grand building. Following the dedication, those that wished took the “grand tour” of the new facility and saw the many improvements and

additions made over the last 30 years. Donations have made this new addi-tion a reality. Cookies and punch were served. Con-gratulations to everyone for their ongoing dedica-tion to this “treasure” and for all the wonderful past performances, (some in less than ideal conditions) and the many thrilling per-formances yet to come! Th e Early Birds Club has wrapped up their winter card season with the last day of Cribbage played on April 26th at the Drop-In Centre. Th e semi-annual meeting was held on April 29th when all the reports confi rmed a great season, extended two weeks because of our nev-er-ending winter weather! We commend Eileen Brad-ley for her perseverance in fi nding players to fi ll those fi ve card tables each week! Newdale Raven’s Glen WI held their April meeting on the 18th, because of the MWI Provincial Conven-tion held April 25th-27th. Th e business was conduct-ed and arrangements were made to host Basswood and Erickson WI’s in May when we have a speaker from the MB Lung Associ-ation. Dot Wareham gave the education report on farm safety around hydro lines. Our June outing was arranged for and the after-noon ended with lunch.

By ELMER KASKIW

The melt this spring has certainly produced

some unpredictable runoff levels. In much of South Parkland we are seeing relatively low levels given the amount of snow we had accumulated over the winter. A combination of evaporation through a process called sublima-tion, shallow frost and ex-tremely dry soils from last fall has seen much of this winter’s snow disappear

with only moderate runoff . In fact, until the most re-cent wet snow many of the sloughs had barely fi lled to the edges of their histori-cal capacity. Unless we see some signifi cant rainfall or snow the threat of any lo-calized fl ooding certainly seems to be behind us at this point. A return to sea-sonal temperatures and the lack of depth of frost should see water levels drop quickly in potholes allowing for planting to commence within the next

couple of weeks.

Delayed Seeding Tips

Broadcast Nitrogen - Th e delay in seeding has meant that many growers are looking at alternate methods in applying their nitrogen allowing them to free up air-seeder capac-ity for more seed and fewer stops for fi lling. Th ere are a couple of options that producers might consider where the nitrogen can be broadcast both pre and post seeding. In the case of dry fer-tilizer growers are now restricted to urea based fertilizers. Untreated urea should ideally be broadcast just ahead of the air-seeder allowing the seeding op-eration to incorporate the urea to minimize losses due to volatilization. Urea must fi rst be converted to ammonia before being converted to nitrate which is the plant usable form. It is during the conversion to ammonia that we can see substantial losses due to volatilization. In order to reduce these losses the

urea granule must be in-corporated or washed into the soil prior to breaking down into this gaseous form. Th is means broad-casting should be done on a dry soil surface and ideally under cool condi-tions. Soil conditions to try and avoid would be moist warm soils which are then followed by rapid drying due to surface winds. Another option is to use liquid UAN or urea ammonium nitrate 28-0-0. UAN is subject to the same potential losses to volatilization as urea. Th e advantage with UAN is that besides a dribble surface band it can also be inject-ed both pre and post seed-ing with minimal losses. Both options add some additional expense to the overall nitrogen cost how-ever the additional acres seeded should more than compensate for this extra expense. Growing Degree Days - Each crop has a certain growing degree day re-quirement for it to reach physiological maturity. One of the classic miscon-ceptions we see virtually every year is the seeding of fl ax at the tail end of seeding. Flax actually has a higher growing degree

day requirement than red spring wheat coming in at 1200 versus 1175 for RSW. Canola requires 1040 fol-lowed by oats at 961 and barley at 850. Seeding protocols where possible should be done with these GDDs in mind. Increase Seeding Rates - Higher plant pop-ulations will reduce tiller development which typi-cally mature three days later than the main stem. Increase seeding rates by 10% if seeding after May 15th and an additional 10% if seeding after June 1st. Phosphorous Fertil-ity – Phosphorous pro-motes early root growth which encourages uniform growth and uniform ma-turity. Phosphorous fertil-ity levels should be main-tained or increased where

possible as seeding is de-layed. Seed Shallow and at a Uniform Depth – In most instance a seeding depth of no more than one inch for cereals and a half inch for canola is necessary un-der moist soil conditions. Seeding at these depths does require seed place-ment to be uniform which is all too often compro-mised by seeding speed. In order to maintain a uni-form depth seeding speed should not exceed more than six mph. Use a Seed Treatment – Seed treatments will en-sure that seeds will not be infected by the various soil diseases and insects. Th is is especially critical if soils are cold or wet or when seeds are suspected of hav-ing disease issues.

Birthdays and Christmas and “Sunday Suppers at the Farm” were all special times for Mom. Mom was very shy and always said she was a better listener than a talker. Lily was very active in the Legion and Legion Auxiliary. She was very proud to receive the Meritorious award from the Auxiliary. In April of 2001 Lily was awarded a trophy at the Bowling Alley for 18 years of Perfect Attendance.
