The Monarch Butterfly is a milkweed butterfly. Although its larvae eat only milkweed, the adults feed on many nectar-producing flowers. Monarchs fly south to Mexico for winter. In spring, they begin their journey northward, following the growth of milkweed, on which the females will lay their eggs and then die. This cycle is repeated a number of times, so the monarchs that reach their northern range are great-great grandchildren of the ones seen there the previous year.

Dad grew up on the home farm NW 12-1-6, RM of Stanley, where Shawn Olafson now makes his home. Dad received his education at Elk Creek Country School, completing Grade 8. Following school, he worked on the farm and in January 1942, at 20 years old, Dad enlisted in the army and endured World War II throughout Italy, France, and Germany. Then, in 1945, when the European war ended, he was sent home quickly and was ready to enlist in the United States Army to fi ght the war against Japan, but that war came to an end before he was able to go. Following the war years, Dad worked in bush camps in Ontario, cutting wood and on the pipeline, then settling on the Home Farm in 1948, with his dad and brother John.

Always making improvements and looking to the future. In 1998, they moved off the Home Farm to Morden, but Dad remained active in the farm, always coming out to help, and up to his last days was very interested in how the farm was doing, always asking if ‘The Boys’ got everything done. Dad loved sports, especially the Toronto Blue Jays, curling, golfi ng, and card games at the Morden Friendship Centre. He was a very competitive player and very much enjoyed his time spent at the Friendship Centre, and the many friends that he met there. Dad was also a Legion Barry and Zach Unrau member, Morden Branch #11.

Start Time: 10 a.m.

Phil Ens heads up Saturday parade A prominent business leader will be at the head of the Winkler Harvest Festival and Exhibition’s Saturday morning parade. The City of Winkler has selected Triple E founder Phil Ens as the 2017 Grand Marshal. “Phillip Ens has been a contributor to our community for over 50 years,” said Mayor Martin Harder. “We felt what better way to honour him than during Canada’s 150 and at the same time as he’s getting the Order of Manitoba.” Ens was one of 12 Manitobans inducted into the Order of Manitoba last month. “This was actually in the works before he got that honour,” Harder noted, stressing the importance of recognizing stand-out Winklerites. “It’s not just a fi nancial contribution that makes one valuable to a community. I think people who are individuals with distinction are appropriate to be the parade marshal. “We don’t always have a parade marshal, per se, every year, but if we can, if there’s some exceptional things that have happened, then we want “unofficial” to make sure that we recognize that.” parade start The parade begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12 at the corner of Mountain Ave. and 15th St. It travels east on Mountain Ave., north on Main St., and then west on Roblin Ave. to fi nish up at Park St. DRIVE-THRU OIL CHANGE NOW AVAILABLE FREE WINDSHIELD CHIP REPAIR 7)4().352!.#%#/6%2!'% s-0)!##2%$)4%$ s./!00/).4-%.4.%%$%$
