All ice in the province is now un- predictable and potentially unsafe. “If you do choose to go on the ice, then you need to plan ahead and be prepared to go through the ice and into cold water,” said Lifesav- ing Society Water Smart Coordinator Dr. Christopher Love. “Wear something that fl oats, like a lifejacket over your winter clothes, don’t go out alone, and be prepared to perform a rescue.” Lifesaving Society Manitoba’s Ice Safety Thickness Cards are now available in nine different languages. The cards tell you how thick the ice needs to be to walk or drive on it. However, no ice should be considered without some risk.

Spectacular northern lights 210326G0

STANDARD PHOTOS BY DESTINY GULEWICH The aurora borealis, or northern lights, have been dancing up a storm over Manitoba over the last few weeks. These photos were taken on March 2. A large number of pictures of this spectacle have been post- ed to social media by those fortunate enough to catch the show. But what causes this light show in the sky? The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmo- sphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as ‘Aurora borealis’ in the north and ‘Aurora australis’ in the south.. Auroral displays appear in many colours although pale green and pink are the most common. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet can also been seen. The lights appear in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shoot- ing rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow. 12 The Carman-Duff erin Standard Thursday, March 11, 2021 St. Claude school getting new play structure By Becca Myskiw The St. Claude School Complex is getting a new play structure, thanks to parents and teachers. Currently, the school only has one structure with room for a small number of students to play on at a time. The St. Claude School Complex Staff and Advi- sory Council have chosen a new structure to comple- ment the existing one, which will have overhead ob- stacle features, allowing all Kindergarten to Grade 6 students to play on each structure separately. This structure is just phase one of the council’s larger goal — to replace or update the current one. “The St. Claude School Complex Staff and Advi- sory Council feel it is imperative that the students have the ability to engage in multiple levels of ac- tivity during the school year,” said Kody Webber of Pictured from left to right: Jean Godard (St. Claude School Complex principal), Kody Webber (St. the council. “By adding and replacing current play Claude advisory council president), Brodie Gobin (Pembina Co-op St. Claude store manager), structures, we believe this will keep our children en- Joanne Massinon (St. Claude advisory council vice president). gaged and will also encourage continued creativity and their St. Claude branch donated $1,600, and the ready during the summer holidays of this year.

Brad Reykdal, a fi fth-generation farmer

By Evan Matthews Though technological advance- ments have drastically changed Ca- nadian farming methods over the last 153 years, remnants of a simpler time remain on Lake Manitoba’s Birch Is- land, where Brad Reykdal’s family has farmed for fi ve generations. But as much as things change, they stay the same, as the 35-year-old Reykdal said he and his family have been preparing for the annual calv- ing season on the farm. The Reykdals’ commercial cow-calf operation totals about 600 head of cattle. “Going back fi ve generations, our descendants immigrated from Ice- land in the late 1800s.
