While the small family farm seems to be a thing of the past, the Germain Family Farm near Tolstoi continues to be self-staining and operated by family members 125 years since it was established. 

A special event took place over the weekend to recognize the Heritage Farm in the Rural Municipality of Franklin. 

STARS was called to an emergency scene on Monday afternoon on the Mantario Trail near West Hawk Lake.

While there are few details that can be given out at this time, STARS was able to provide a little bit of information about the mission. 

“We transported two patients from Mantario Trail to Big Whiteshell Lodge to rendezvous with EMS,” says a STARS spokesperson. “Both patients were medically stable.”

If yellow jackets have become a pest for you, and if history is any indication, you might need to deal with them for a few more weeks. That is because once we get our killing frost, majority of the yellow jacket population will be wiped out.

While many producers are working to get crops off the fields, a Manitoba Agriculture entomologist reports that it has been quite a year for dealing with various pests. 

“There's certainly been a number of insect issues,” says John Gavloski. “Some of them being things that blew into the province that we don't deal with every year and others being things that do over-winter here. But yeah, it's just been busy.”
