Plans to rebuild after fire destroys Taylor Auction Mart in Melita by Terri Eger

Fire may have destroyed much of the building at Taylor Auction Mart last week but it will not be the end of the busi - ness. While many things still remained uncertain when The New Era spoke with owner, Brock Taylor, on Tuesday evening, one thing was certain.

“We are rebuilding,” he said of the business that he owns in partner -

ship with his wife, Kelly, and parents, Ross and Pat Taylor.

The smoke may have still be hanging in the air when Taylor was making calls to construction com - panies and getting plans in place.

“I guess I called on a few favours I didn’t even know I had out there,” he said with a chuckle but then turned serious again. “If things go according to

plan we are hoping to be up and running by mid to late August.”

Melita Fire Department was called to the business north of Melita on Highway #83 at approximately 6:00 p.m. Saturday night. With additional assistance from Pierson Fire Department, the crews were able to contain the blaze but fire destroyed the main build - ing of the Auction Mart that has stood in the com - munity since 1971.

“The building and barn is gone,” said Taylor. “The feed and water pens are all still good.”

He and his father had loaded the last truck with cattle Saturday morning

leaving the building vacant of animals and people when the fire started.

“There was no one hurt,” said Taylor, empha - sizing the bottom line. “There were no injuries and no cattle were on site. Everything we lost is replaceable.”

The business is now moving into a slower time of year as farmers head to the fields to tend to seed - ing, which will mean less disruption in services and make the cleanup and reconstruction easier.

“This is kind of our slow down time of year,” said Taylor. “If it was six weeks ago it would have been a different story.”

Official cause of the fire was still being deter - mined at press time but the business owner said progress was being made with the investigation and with the insurance com - pany and he felt things would go smoothly. The family is appreciative of the assistance they have received from the com - munity.

“The community sup - port through this has been great,” said Taylor. “ You couldn’t ask for a better community to live in and do business in.”

Taylor Auction Mart buys and processes cattle from a large surrounding area, shipping the major - ity to the United States.

Auction sales were sus - pended a few years ago as the focus of the business changed and during the busy season eight to ten loads of cattle will be shipped out each day. In addition to the four family members who own and operate the business, six to eight main staff are on the payroll with addi - tional staff hired during peak periods.

Although the fire has changed their focus at the moment, the owner was already making plans for the reconstruction of the building.

“We won’t have to look for work to do this summer,” Taylor said

A Healthy You submitted by Fran Dickinson

This was the theme of SWB’S Convention held at Seniors for Seniors in Brandon, hosted by the Wheat City Local.

After words of wel - come from Marg Senkbeil, Wheat City’s president, the morning session was conducted by Fran Dickinson, the SWB president.

Board members were introduced. With the Roll Call, $222.95 came in for “Coins for Change”.

Leanne Sprung, MAFRD Rep, enlightened us with an update on 4-H. There have been changes and it was so good to hear of them.

MWI president Donna Young, executive admin - istrator Joni Swidnicki and regional rep Audrey Clark, each spoke of the ongoing work with the MWI Board and their part in it. Vests and T-shirts can still be ordered through the MWI office.

President Fran praised the work of our Region’s members. With just 45 members in total the pro - grams are still varied and informative, with some fun added.

The Education Reports, presented by the Broomhill Local, were done humourously in “skit” form. The “setting” was in the local cafe, where the waitress in her apron with coffee pot in hand, inquired what the girls were up to. Over their coffee each high - lighted, sometimes humorously, what was going on in the report they represented. Then they were off to get on with their day!

Clearwater conducted

an inspiring “Celebration of Life” service which saw six names entered into the Regional Book of Remembrance.

Following lunch, Chris Heide with CAA, brought much information on travel and health insur - ance. He stressed how important it is to know what your coverage includes, before you travel

Gail Cork, volunteer at the Assiniboine Hospital, provided us with info on what to bring if being placed in the Assiniboine Hospital or a Care Facility.

Melissa Peters, with Palliative Care, spoke about the importance of Advanced Care Planning. It’s about conversations,

decisions, talking with family or a proxy, having a Living Will, making your wishes known. SPEAK UP. These speak - ers all pointed to a “Healthy You” but it’s all up to YOU.

Audrey Clark, presi - dent-elect, conducted the new business portion. Attendance was 25. Marilyn Hokanson won the raffled quilt and the Boissevain Local will host the 2016 Convention. Murial McCallum, of Boissevain, gave the cour - tesies at day’s end.

Donna Young, MWI president, installed our 2015 - 2016 SWB Board.

A time to mingle and visit over refreshments brought a great day to an end.

Landmarks Sympathy to the Taylor family on the loss of

the Melita Auction Mart. When I first heard of the Auction Mart burning down, I thought, oh well, at least there wasn’t any livestock in the building, which was good, but then I thought of what the building meant to the people of Melita and surrounding area. I, for one, bought my first horse there, and I’m not sure how my Mom will be able to give directions to our family farm now without saying, “turn east after the Auction Mart ”. I know they will rebuild and it’s just a building but it’s still sad to see a landmark destroyed.

I’ve Learned �These are written by�the late Andy Rooney

(60 Minutes), a man who had the gift of saying so much with so few words.�

�I’ve learned: .... That the best classroom in the world is at

the feet of an elderly person. .... That when you’re in love, it shows. .... That just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve

made my day! ’ makes my day. .... That having a child fall asleep in your

arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

.... That being kind is more important than being right.

.... That you should never say no to a gift from a child.

.... That I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.

.... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

.... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

.... That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

.... That we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.

Just for Laughs Son: Mom, my teacher was asking me today,

if I had any brothers or sisters who will be com - ing to school.

Mom: That’s nice of her to take such an interest in you. So what did she say when you told her that you’re an only child?

Son: She just said... ‘ Thank goodness’.

Ready...Fire...Aim Jim Eng, BSc, CIM, FCSI/Wealth Advisor/ScotiaMcLeod/A Division of Scotia Capital Inc.

In previous articles I have talked about many finance topics. The topics range from the “Bacon Cheeseburger Index and Inflation” to “Is Canada Ready to Retire?” Throughout these articles one main theme is repeated ...it is all about the process, process, process. Investing requires a well thought out and defined investment process to give you the best chance of long term success in your portfolio. Process allows one to take out the emotions from something that is very emotional... money.

The stock market often seems like a casino where, to the average player, the odds of success are random. However, the casino owner understands that the long-term odds are predictable. Clearly, you want to take the position of the casino and not the player. Casinos make profits by being right fractionally more often than they are wrong. They “have figured out the math” so that the odds are stacked in their favour. Over the long term, the casino comes out ahead of the player.

Institutional investors, like casinos, “have figured out the math” in order to benefit from long-term odds. They focus on factors that they can control and try to avoid making any bets on factors that they cannot control. They evaluate the long-term risks, potential returns and the cor - relation between investments. These factors underlie their blueprint for creating an optimal port - folio.�

As mentioned above, money is a very emotional item for most non-institutional investors. In my 25 years of managing money, I think of all the emotions, the most dangerous for investors is overconfidence.

During a “bull market” (definition: prices are rising or are expected to rise) the economy is strong and the unemployment rate is low, some investors will start to think they are investment experts and will become overconfident. This overconfidence can make investors and inexperi - enced advisors forget about the risk they are taking on, or they may ignore all the signs that sug - gest that it is time for caution or to build cash. This is the time that they forget about an inves t - ment process and they sometimes start the new strategy of “Ready...Fire...Aim”. I have seen this movie before and it doesn’t end with “happily ever after”!

I always quote from my investment super hero, Warren Buffett. I am reminded of two quotes whenever I think investors are sometimes becoming overconfident:

1) Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked. 2) Warren Buffett’s two rules: Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No. 1. Some important questions to ask yourself at this time: • Are you “swimming naked?” • Are you following Warren Buffett’s two rules? • Are you trying the new strategy of “Ready... Fire... Aim?” • Is it time for a second opinion of your investment portfolio ? To read previous articles, go to my website at jimengwinnipeg.wordpress.com/

by Glen Kirby “Awesome,” says

Kristin Kirkpatrick, describing last week - end’s victory in the Westman High School Rugby (WHSR) league final. The Souris Sabres girls beat Minnedosa Chancellors 36-19 on the pitch at Souris School, with picture- perfect weather and a crowd of nearly 100 cheering both squads.

“The girls played great. The game went as planned,” says Sabres coach Brian Yon. “Just fantastic,” he adds with a grin. “Winning never gets old.”

The ladies, unde - feated in regular season play, captured their tenth WHSR title in 13 years. Leading 19-5 at the half, the Sabres had strong showings from Kaylee Butterfield with two tries, and singles from Kirkpatrick, Jamie Campion, Lexi Arthurson and Charlotte West, who also added three con - versions.

The Sabres have appeared in all 13 league finals but fell to Minnedosa last year, making this win espe - cially sweet for veteran team members like Kirkpatrick and West.

“It’s a great way to go out in my Grade 12 year,” said West, as she waited with her team - mates for photos after the game.

“We executed well and didn’t let mistakes affect us.”

The team will now compete in the Manitoba High School Provincials this week - end in Winnipeg at St. Paul’s High School.

They open against Vincent Massey Collegiate. Defending provincial champion Sisler Spartans will battle Minnedosa, with winners advancing to the gold medal game and the losers compet - ing for bronze.

Souris has been a rugby powerhouse since the program was introduced in 2003.

The boys have cap - tured four league titles and one provincial championship.

The girls have steamrolled to 10 league titles and domi - nated the provincials, capturing six gold med - als in 12 years.

“You really feel like a part of something,” says Kirkpatrick, called “Double-K” by team - mates and coach.

“We travel together, win together, lose together. We’re from three different towns but we all play as one.”

Kirkpatrick is from Grande-Clairiere and says students from Reston, Hartney and Souris schools are wearing Sabres colours this year.

“Rugby has been life-changing,” says West, who is pursuing a medical degree and has signed a letter of intent to play with York University Lions in Toronto. “It’s opened up doors for me. Without rugby, I wouldn’t be going to Toronto.”

West, a WHSR All- Star who started her rugby career at age 9, is excited for the oppor - tunity to play rugby at the next level but aware that the stakes will be higher.

“It will be intimidat - ing,” she says. “Next year, there will be big - ger expectations. You won’t be able to miss tackles.”

Kirkpatrick will attend the University of Regina this fall and plans to take a year off from elite play and compete in recreational rugby.

The Sabres head into

the provincials with five of the top nine WSHR leading scorers - West, Kirkpatrick, Butterfield, Campion and Kendra Roberts.

Souris Sabres varsity girls captured Provincial champion - ships in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 while the varsity boys won a Provincial title in 2013.

Fire destroys Taylor Auction Mart A fire of unknown origin destroyed the main building at Taylor Auction Mart, just outside Melita, Satu rday, May 23. Fire crews were quickly called to the scene around 6:00 p.m. and were at the fire until the early morning hours of Sunday, May 24. Although the building could not be saved, the fire crews did a great job of containing it so that nothing surrounding the Auction Mart caught on fire. Fortunately there were no cattle or people in the building at the time of the fire. PHOTO/ COURTESY DALE DOBBYN

Plans to rebuild after fire destroys Taylor Auction Mart in Melita Continued from page 1

with a chuckle. “We know what we’ve got to do now”

Business with a long history

Jim Downey and his wife, Linda, built Melita Auction Mart in 1971.

“I was in the farm and feedlot business and every time I’d go to a market I’d see a lot of people hauling cattle,” said Downey, in an interview last week. “We thought it would be good to have the same service in our own com - munity.”

A survey of southwest - ern Manitoba and south - eastern Saskatchewan proved something Downey had suspected, the local area had the larg - est concentration of cattle in Manitoba and a viable business could be built in Melita.

“It was a booming suc - cess right off the beat,” said Downey.

The October 21, 1971 edition of The New Era newspaper reported, “The first sale of cattle at the new Melita Auction Mart drew a capacity crowd, Monday, October 18...with the sale of 688 head of cattle.”

The article goes on to read, “Mr. Powne had the honours of auctioning the first butcher steer through the ring, from D. Bird’s

stock farm at Elva, weigh - ing 950 pounds and sell - ing at a record price of 48 cents. This animal was sold to Melita Motors, Melita.”

“Two carloads of cattle were bought by High Jackson of Souris and Jack Renwick of Coulter. These were shipped by train to Ontario buyers. This is the first time cattle have been shipped by rail in some considerable time, from Melita, with the balance of the Ontario orders shipped by transfer. This is highly significant of the way Melita is ‘growing and going’ to beat ’71! Congratulations from all privileged to live in this area!”

Among the staff listed in the article is yard man - ager Ross Taylor, who would later purchase the business.

Downey said the busi - ness was a success thanks to the support of his fam - ily and the community of Melita.

“We had lots of local support,” he said.

The Auction Mart attracted a lot of addi - tional business to the community and employed numerous people through - out the years.

“It really was a com - munity affair,” said Downey. “The farmers and business people

treated us very well. We developed some great friends through the busi - ness.”

When Downey was elected to the local seat in the Manitoba Legislature and was appointed Minister of Agriculture in the late 1970s, he felt a change in the business was needed. The Auction Mart was leased out for a few years before it was sold to a community entity and later purchased by the Taylor family about 12 years ago.

Jim and Linda were on their way home Saturday night when they saw the smoke from the fire. The couple arrived just as the Melita Fire Department was getting to the scene and watched the business they built go up in flames.

“A lot of hard work and effort went into that business and we had a bit of a nostalgia moment watching the fire,” said Downey.

When The New Era spoke with Downey he hadn’t heard the Taylor family’s plans for the future but will be pleased to learn that they intend to rebuild.

“I wish them well and am happy to know there was no people or animals hurt in the fire,” he con - cluded.

Nature Conservancy of Canada announces purchase of key habitat in Riding Mountain Natural Area

Winnipeg, MB (May 14, 2015) - The Nature Conservancy of Canada in Manitoba has announced it has acquired two properties critical to wetland health in the province. The Blue Wing and Baydock sites are near the Riding Mountain National Park and together conserve over 600 acres (approximately 246 hectares), 166 of which are wetlands.

These wetlands areas are heavily used by waterfowl, including American wigeon, buffle head, mallard, gadwall, blue-winged teal, ring-necked duck and Canada goose as well as marsh wren. In the spring, the smaller wetlands are important for duck breeding.

The Blue Wing property was purchased from the late Mr. William (Bill) Nevistiuk. Nevistiuk was a long-time supporter of the Nature Conservancy of Canada and proud to have most of his properties protected by NCC at the time of his passing. Nevistiuk had a true pas - sion for nature; he loved animals of all kinds and he could often be found planting new trees and caring for them on his properties.

These wetland conservation projects were made possible due to the generous support from the Government of Canada`s Natural Areas Conservation Program and funding provided through the United States’ North American Wetland Conservation Act (NAWCA).

Quotes: “My brother (Bill) always dreamed of conserving his lands. Even way back when, he loved

nature and wildlife,” said Andrew Nevistiuk. “He always enjoyed the migration. The migra - tory flight went right over his property and he really enjoyed listening to them gather in the fall and waited for them to return in the spring.”

“The conservation and restoration of priority lands and wetlands in Manitoba must be a top priority, especially in the face of a changing climate”, says, Kevin Teneycke, Senior Director of Conservation with the Nature Conservancy of Canada in Manitoba. “Contact the Nature Conservancy of Canada if you’re interested in conserving private lands in Manitoba, through land sales, donations or easements.”

Facts: • Biologists estimate that more than 50% of wildlife species in North America rely on

access to wetland habitat for at least part of their life cycle. • Almost 35% of all rare, threatened and endangered species are dependent on wetlands. • Wetlands store water which can help mitigate droughts, and they absorb and store excess

water in areas prone to flooding and erosion. • Wetlands have the potential to mitigate the impacts of climate change by tempering tem -

perature extremes in a local area. • Wetlands serve as natural water treatment systems. • This project was funded as part of the Government of Canada’s National Conservation

Program (NACP). The NACP is a unique public-private partnership led and managed by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). To date, $345 million has been invested in the NACP by the Government of Canada, with more than $400 million in matching contributions raised by NCC and its partners to secure our natural heritage.� This includes $100 million announced in May 2014 under the National Conservation Plan to continue this program.

Solutions & Substitutions by Reena Nerbas

Dear Reena, Some time ago, I used

your solution for laminate flooring. It did a wonder - ful job but I have mis - placed the instructions. Hope to hear from you.

Leslie Dear Leslie, My favourite laminate

floor cleaner recipe is super because it requires no rinsing. In order to prevent water spots whether you are cleaning with a steam mop or the following recipe; be sure to dry the floors well after they are cleaned. In a bucket combine: half tsp. dish soap, two cups vine - gar, two cups water and one tsp. lemon juice. Dampen floors only, too much liquid is not recommended. Before cleaning floors, check your manual, to avoid damage to your warranty because certain manufac - turer’s only recommend their own laminate floor cleaner.

Dear Reena, I bought a large con -

tainer of cream cheese and put one third in a smaller container. Should I freeze the rest or is it better kept in the fridge? It would take over a month to use the small container.

Shirley Dear Shirley, I am often amazed at

how long cream cheese actually lasts. Check the expiry date before taking any further steps. If the expiration date allows you to keep the cheese in the fridge it should be fine.

Foil wrapped cream cheese should last 3 - 4 weeks in the fridge. You can freeze cream cheese but only do so if you have no plans to use the cheese for baked goods such as cheesecake because the cheese consistency changes after freezing. If you use cream cheese for spreading on toast, then freezing the cheese is no problem.

Dear Reena, What is the best way to

remove numerous scuff marks from running shoes off of an older kitchen floor (linoleum - 20 years old)? I don’t want to risk

ruining what is left of the floor’s finish by using a Mr. Clean eraser, tennis ball or other abrasive. Would it be a good idea to try WD40?

Joanne Dear Joanne, Since the floor is less

than 50 years old there is a good chance that it is actually vinyl and not linoleum, (a word that people often use inter - changeably but they are actually quite different). The easiest way to remove scuff marks from flooring is with the use of a rubber or art gum eraser.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is my next choice (test on an inconspicuous area first) it seems unlikely that the Magic Eraser will damage the floor.

Please don’t use WD- 40 for this challenge as it may strip the finish. My third choice: Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the scuff marks and wipe with a green scrubby pad. Clean with dish soap and water.

Organize Your Fridge

• I found a clever way to organize the con - diments in my fridge. I put a Lazy Susan on one of the shelves. This keeps the fridge clean and products simple to find.

Submitted by Orville Trivia: Trivia: Where did the name

“Lazy Susan” come from? The “Lazy Susan’’ made its first written appearance in a 1917 Vanity Fair advertisement for a “Revolving Server or Lazy Susan’’. These revolving serving trays have been around since the 1700s, where they were often tiered and called “dumbwaiters”. Dumbwaiters were so called because they qui -

etly (hence “dumb’’ ) took the place of waiters in the dining room. The theory of how the name changed to “Lazy Susan” suggests that servants were often named Susan, so that “Susan’’ came to be almost a synonym for “servant”, and the “Lazy Susan’’ was essentially functioning as a servant who never had to go any - where (hence “lazy’’ ).

• I place fridge mats on every mat in my fridge. The mats hold to glass shelves and stay cleaner looking than clear glass.

Submitted by Phyllis • I bought a variety of

coloured plastic baskets for fridge organizing. I label each basket, i.e., condiments, meat, snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, pizza making, etc. My fridge is so organized and stays clean!
