Tompsett family

win Co-op promo

by Judy Wells In September 2014, Co-

op partnered with Owens Corning Canada to create the 2014 Win Back Promotion. Customers who purchased Atticat insulation were eligible to enter a draw and win back their money up to $2,500.

This chance became a reality for Rob and Beth Tompsett who won back $1,496.16 from their insu - lation purchase at Boundary Co-op - Deloraine Home Centre.

There were four other winners in Western Canada including two from Manitoba: two winners from Twin Valley Co-op, one from Kindersley, SK and another from Big River Co-op in Prince Albert.

The timing couldn’t be better for the Tompsetts who recently welcomed triplets into their family.

by Judy Wells Rally Day. You never know what the weatherman

has in store. Friday, June 5 was the 81st annual Boissevain & Area 4-H Rally and it was a pleasant day - a bit overcast at times but the rain stayed away until around 2:00.

Rally is a deep tradition in the area. The 81st annual rally had 13 clubs in attendance, including Goodlands Variety, Roseland South-Brandon, Pierson Pathfinders, Alexander 4-H Club, Souris Challengers, Dand Belles & Beaux, Deloraine Community 4-H’ers, Boissevain Home & Hobby, Boissevain Beef, Boissevain Boots N’ Bits, Belmont Pony Pals, Archie 4-H Light Horse &

Pony Club (Virden) and Coulter Western Trail Riders. The Beef Show had only 11 members showing their

cattle. Two of those members hail from Deloraine - Kyle and Justin Breemersch.

The Horse Show was huge! It’s great to see that when interest wanes in one area, it picks up in another. The parade was great, too, with all the horse entries. The horses looked to take up half the parade.

The Home & Hobby portion of the Rally was held in the Curling Rink where the members displayed their projects on the ice surface. As well there were several fun stations set up for the members to enjoy and make creations. Some of the stations included Salsa making,

picture painting, potting plants, soccer, hair style and make-up, tie-dying, marshmallow/stick catapults and more.

The morning consisted of workshops and cattle/ horse shows. The noon show followed the parade.

Brett Skeoch, of MAFRI, was the emcee and she expressed appreciation to al the dignitaries and spon - sors in attendance. As well, a special thanks to the Turtle Mountain Ag Society and the Ag. Society ladies for their work on the grounds and the food booth.

“There’s a fair bit of prep work ahead of time for the noon show to happen - setting parade routes, getting

Riley Workman, past member of the Boissevain Beef Club was the guest speaker. He told of how 4-H has continued to help him in life even after no longer being an active club mem - ber. In fact, he said he just completed the most important interview of his life and was thrilled to have been accepted into med school. Riley said 4-H prepared him most importantly by the public speaking portion. As well, completing projects, taking offices, working together, and much more.

Some of the MAFRI staff in attendance were acknowledged, including Joanne Baker, Meghan Sprung, and Janelle Grieve. These ladies facilitated a workshop and lead some rec - reation and leadership activities for all Multi-Purpose 4-H’ers.

Nine 4-H members were interviewed for the Southwest Area 4-H Council Scholarship. Of these applicants, three are going into law, two into nursing and a couple into teaching.

“The winner this year is a dedicated member who has also taken on the role of leader for her Club. She is currently president of the Area Council and is also a representative to the Manitoba 4-H Council. Congratulations to Jennifer Wright, of Hartney 4-H Club, this year’s winner of the $500 scholarship,” announced Skeoch.

There were two gold watch winners this year: Madison Edwards, Deloraine Community 4-H’ers. This recipient has been a member for

10 year. Some of the skills she learned in those 10 years among many others, include lead - ership, public speaking, meeting management, working with younger members, cooking, crafts, and much more. In her Club, she continually makes an effort to help out the younger members with projects, skills, or whatever else she can. Outside of 4-H Madison enjoys being active on school committees, painting, cooking, sports and volunteering for Christmas Cheer. When asked what she liked best about participating in 4-H some of her responses were: “the fact that it’s member based, meeting new people, travelling, rally, the fun events and all the projects there are to choose from.” As a graduating 4-H member Madi’s plans for next year are to attend the University of Manitoba - Asper School of Business, to obtain a Bachelor of Commerce.

The other member receiving a gold watch was Jacquie Crowe. Jacquie Crowe has been a member for 10 years; as a senior member she has been very

active in the 4-H program and within multiple clubs. In her Club she has held numerous offices, which she feels develops good skills for life, including administration, and financial. She has gone to Zones multiple times for public speaking. Outside of 4-H, Jacquie works part- time, takes an active role in her schools student government and Social Justice Group, curls, plays volleyball and is a member of the rifle club. When asked why she felt 4-H was important, her responses included, “Building skills for life, meeting people, broadening hori - zon s and it offers experiences.” As a graduating 4-H member her plans are to attend Brandon University to work towards a Bachelors of Arts.

A new and exciting addition to Rally this year were MNP bursaries. Nicole Hooper of MNP was on hand to present these bursaries to Ryan Kinley (Boissevain Boots N’ Bits); Jenna Paterson (Boissevain Beef), Shawna Weir (Boissevain Home & Hobby), Madison Edwards (Deloraine Community 4-H’ers), Carlee Edwards (Deloraine Community 4-H’ers), Lara Teetaert (Deloraine Community 4-H’ers), Jacquie Crowe (Dand Belles & Beaux) and Katie Meggison (Goodlands Variety).

Following the noon show, Jake Weidenhamer, former Boissevain Rally gold watch win - ner, coordinated games for all the clubs to interact and enjoy some good 4-H team building. As a university student, Jake was co-founder of an organization called: Physical Education & Activity Leadership PEDAL Inc., which promotes physical education and leadership.

Odds & Ends Well, we’ve gone a few days without rain. Yippee! But how about those mosquitoes, eh? Makes just running from the house to the car an Olympic event. Let’s hope for the dragonflies to multiply as fast as the skitters.

•��•��• The annual 4-H Rally was held last Friday. It was a good day, the rain stayed away until early afternoon. The cattle show was way down in entries with only 11 members participating. However, the horse show was huge and the Home & Hobby remains strong as well. A big shout out to all the members, leaders and parents for keeping the 4-H tradition. Senior members who have graduated often talk about how 4-H has helped them in the “big, old world”.

•��•��• There’s exciting news for Deloraine’s Farmer’s Market. This program is now part of a Deloraine Winchester Recreation Program. A subcommittee has been formed to look at ways to expand and market the Farmer’s Market for the community. Changes happening this year include the location - which will be at the Park. This provides a much safer venue as far as cars coming and going. The Farmer’s Market will operate on Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. from July 9 to September 24. As the rules state, no vendor will open earlier than the market. A bell will ring to signify market is open. Interested vendors are advised to go to www.deloraine.org/deloraine-winchester-farmers- market/ to view the rules and regulations, download a registration form, view a Deloraine Winchester Farmer’s Market map and also view the Province of Manitoba Farmer’s Market guidelines. It is hoped non-profits will take advantage of the opportunity to hold barbecues at the Farmer’s Market. For more information, call Recreation Director Liza Park at 204-747-3668.

•�� •�� • Doesn’t the new MNP building look impressive. It’s been interesting to watch the progress from the beginning.

•�� •�� • Also in recreation news, a soccer camp will be offered in August for ages 4 - 16. The link to register is www.deloraine.org/british-soccer- camp-aug-17-21-ages-4-16/

•��•��• It’s almost time for Graduation celebrations.

Deloraine School’s grad is June 24. Check out this week’s edition for the special Graduation section.

•��•��• Deloraine School will be bidding farewell to Mrs. Barb Laval after 30 plus years in the teaching profession. A retirement

evening is planned for Barb at the Legion on June 19. Mr. David Heilmann will be taking over the music program. He has extensive music training and experience. A music program will be offered for all students Kindergarten to Grade 8.

Friday Night Lights - a thrill for ball team On Friday, June 5, the Deloraine Mosquito Royals travelled to Brandon to take part in the “Friday Ni ght Lights Baseball Series”. The Series gives rural Westman kids a chance to go into Brandon and play a baseball game under the lights against a Brandon team. The start time of the game was pushed back to about 8:30 pm. The lights turned on in the third inning as it started to get dark. Deloraine was slow out of the gates but battled back to defeat the Brandon Pirates by a score of 13-5. One of the Delor aine players remarked after the game that this had been the best night of his life. Front row (L-R): Skyl ar Mitchler, Aiden Revet, Billy Adams, Dayton Roy. Back row: Paul Artz, Blake Artz, Lucas Maddess, Declan Vanmackleberg, Nolan Nestibo, and Jenesha Hammond. Missing: Brady Baron.

Janice Ginter celebrates 50th submitted by Dawn Minne

Anyone who knows Janice Ginter’s story is aware of her incredible courage and tenacity against huge challenges and adversity. Janice is a true inspiration to all. The following is a brief history of Janice’s life. Appreciation is extended to Dawn Minne for shar - ing this with our readers:

“My sister Janice turns 50 on Saturday, June 6. We are having a Fiesta 50 birthday party for her because after all the hurdles she has gone through in life she deserves a fun time.

“Janice was born three months premature in 1965 and spent 109 days in an incubator. Her small size resulted in her nick - name�“Peanut”, which many people still call her today. As a result of being in the incubator so long, the oxygen burnt the retina endings leaving her blind in the right eye and only 10% vision in the left. That didn’t stop her from travelling and thinking that if you can do it, so can I.

“In 1999, she had the ependymoma tumor removed that left her as a vent dependent quad. She caused a rucus in the medicial community when she was insistent that she was returning home to Waskada to live. She ha s been liv - ing at home since 2001. The tumor returned and in November 2013, it was removed and she was back hom e one week later.

“In this time Janice has remained active in raising her daughter Grace. Janice has such a memory and is quite the storyteller and is good at making people laugh.

So no tea and cake for Janice, it’s margueritas and jalapeno poppers! Happy birthday, Janice!

Meet some of the new crop pest threats to Manitoba

As if the list of pests affecting our crops is not long enough, there are more that have recently moved into Manitoba or are very close. Here are three important ones. Cereal Leaf Beetle

Cereal leaf beetle was first observed in Alberta in 2005, Saskatchewan in 2008 and in the northwest region of Manitoba in 2009. Since 2009, this pest has expanded its ter - ritory across Manitoba. It was found in the Killarney, Pilot Mound and Holland areas in 2013.

As the name suggests, the cereal leaf beetle is primarily a cereal plant feeder that consumes a wide range of cereals and grasses. It prefers oat, bar - ley, wheat, rye, timothy, fescue, grain sorghum and corn. Crop yield and qual - ity are reduced due to lost photosynthetic activity resulting from the feeding damage.

The cereal leaf beetle has a single generation per year. The adult and larvae feed on the plant leaves and chew long strips of tissue between the leaf veins. Adults can eat through the leaf com - pletely while the larvae eat the upper leaf surface and leave a thin mem - brane of tissue. Severe feeding damage can look like frost damage because leaves look whitish. Feeding at the flag leaf stage is most damaging to crop yield.

Producers should monitor cereal crops in the spring by looking for adult cereal leaf beetle feeding injury. This scout - ing will provide an early indication of infestations. Continue crop scouting throughout the spring and summer, before and dur - ing the boot stage, to assess for cereal leaf bee - tle abundance.

Action or economic threshold levels have not been determined for Alberta, but are estab - lished in Montana and North Dakota. In Alberta, cereal leaf beetle has not reached economic thresh - olds. Growers are cau - tioned to avoid unnec - essary insecticide appli - cation as long as the para - sitic wasp, Tetrastichus julis, continues to keep the beetle’s population low, thus highlighting the importance of only spray - ing at economic threshold levels.

In Montana and North

Dakota, economic thresh - olds are an average com - bined total of three eggs and larvae per tiller before the boot stage. At the flag leaf stage, the economic threshold is an average of one larva per flag leaf. Larvae are the target for insecticide treatment. Clubroot in canola

Clubroot, caused by Plamodiophora brassicae, is a serious disease of cru - ciferous crops including canola, mustard, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and rutabaga (all part of the mustard family).

In 2013, two fields in Manitoba were identified and confirmed as showing clubroot symptoms in crops. In addition, the presence of clubroot DNA has been detected in mul - tiple fields. Currently,

there is a province wide survey of clubroot that started in fall 2014 as an initiative of the Manitoba Canola Growers and the Manitoba government. The goal of the survey is to have one sample from a field in every township where agriculture is prac - ticed in Manitoba. Survey sites are volunteered by growers or secured by contacting growers in spe - cific areas that lack sam - pling sites. A map of the results from the survey should be available on the http://www.mbpestlab.ca . The map will be updated regularly as more survey results become available.

Clubroot resting spores can survive in the soil for as long as twenty years. These spores are released from the galls that form

on the roots of susceptible hosts after infection. The spores germinate to pro - duce zoospores which infect the root hairs of the next susceptible plants grown in the soil. Disease development is favoured (Continued on Page 8)

Meet some of the new crop pest threats to Manitoba (Continued from Page 7)

by high soil moisture and soil temperatures between 18 C and 25 C.

As with many root diseases, the aboveground symp - toms include wilting, stunting, chlorosis of leaf tissue and premature ripening. The symptoms indicate that the plant is undergoing water and nutrient stress due to a problem with the root system.

The belowground symptoms differentiate clubroot from other root diseases. Roots of clubroot-infected plants will form galls and swellings, giving them a club- shaped appearance. Initially, the galls will be firm and white on the inside but as they mature they turn peat brown and begin to decompose.

Clubroot is spread through movement of infested soil. Therefore, reducing soil movement through proper sani - tation is crucial in limiting or preventing the spread of clubroot on and between farms. Most soil is transferred on farm equipment such as tractors and cultivators, but vehicles, boots, tools and storage containers can also carry enough soil to spread the clubroot pathogen.

Along with reducing soil movement, crop rotations of at least three years between canola crops and good weed management of alternate hosts, such as stinkweed, shep - herd’s purse and wild mustard, will decrease the like - lihood of clubroot establishing in a field. In addition, these techniques will prevent heavier infestations from developing where clubroot is already present at low or undetected levels. The use of clubroot resistant varieties is an important part of an integrated pest management plan when clubroot has been confirmed in your area.

With all disease issues, scouting is one of the most important management tools a grower can use. Symptoms of clubroot are often initially observed at the entrance to a field, so basic scouting should be done at these locations. Growers should consider situations where transfer of soil may have occurred such as the purchase of used field equipment, the use of custom operators or traffic from recreational vehicles. If sus - picious symptoms are observed, plant samples can be sent to the Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) Crop Diagnostic Centre. Your local MAFRD office can assist with sending samples to the lab. Soybean Cyst Nematode

According to the North Dakota State University, the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines is the most important soybean pathogen in the United States.

It was first reported in Minnesota in 1978 and in South Dakota in 1995. It now occurs in western Minnesota counties and in the northern counties of South Dakota bordering North Dakota. More recently SCN was found in North Dakota and keeps progressing north - ward and closer to Manitoba. It has not yet been found in Manitoba, but it is being watched closely in the Red River Valley.

Although above-ground symptoms of SCN damage are common, especially at high populations of nema - todes in the soil, they are highly varied and can be con - fused with other causes such as iron deficiency, high pH, soil compaction, nutrient deficiency, chemical injury or root rots. Yellowing of the foliage (chlorosis) in July or August, stunting of plants, thin stands and slow closing of rows are observed.

Symptoms may first occur near field entrances, vehi - cle and storage areas in the field, compacted headlands, along fence rows where windblown soil accumulates, on the tops of knolls or in low or flooded areas.

The most definitive characteristic of SCN is the pres - ence of the swollen female nematode on the roots. If the plant is dug from the soil (not pulled up) and the soil carefully removed from the roots, the whitish, cream col - ored to yellowish, lemon-shaped nematodes (about one millimetre in diameter) on the root surface are visible.

The nematode feeding in the roots disrupts the normal physiology of the soybean plant and results in disease. SCN is easily spread from infested to non-infested fields through contaminated field equipment, in wind-blown or water-carried soil, by animals or by small clumps of soil in seed harvested from infested fields. Preventing the infestation of fields should be the first step in managing this pathogen. Stopping or slowing the spread of SCN can prevent losses in future years.

Five things you need to know about flea beetles submitted by Canola Council of Canada

May 29, 2015 -�Striped and crucifer flea beetles are the most common insect pest in Canadian canola, and with slower crop emergence this year, flea beetle dam - age seems more severe than usual. Here are five impor - tant points to help with flea beetle scouting and manage - ment this year:

1. Flea beetle damage can advance quickly. The action threshold for flea beetles in canola is when aver - age leaf area loss reaches 25% or more. Foliar insec - ticide provides an economic benefit when damage reaches 50%, but feeding can advance very quickly from 25% to 50% leaf area loss - especially in warm and calm days - so 25% is the action threshold.Julie Soroka, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) research scientist with a specialty in flea beetles, says that on warm and calm days, damage can advance from 25% in the morning to 50% by evening.“This is one insect pest where frequent scouting is required, particularly if the crop is growing slower than the flea beetles are eating,” says Canola Council of Canada (CCC) agronomy spe - cialist Keith Gabert. Scout the same areas each time as feeding damage can vary across the field. Leave flags if necessary. Pay particular attention to new growth as this is the only way to accurately identify recent feeding.“Basically, if your crop looks worse today than it did yesterday, find out the cause. If flea beetles are responsible or 25% or more of the damage, seriously consider a spray,” Gabert says

2. Flea beetles will keep eating on cool days. Crucifer flea beetles, the most common all-black spe - cies, will reach peak emergence when soil temperatures reach 14-15°C. Striped flea beetles tend to emerge ear - lier. But once flea beetles have emerged from winter dormancy, they will keep feeding — even at cooler tem - peratures.The difference is that while flea beetles tend to fly around on calm days with temperatures above 15°C, they will walk and hop from plant to plant on cooler days.

3. Spray can be effective on cool days, but not wet days. Insecticide will be effective on cooler days as long as the flea beetles are active. Malathion is the only prod - uct that requires a minimum temperature of 18-20°C. Other product labels say to apply when flea beetles are active, but to avoid the warmest parts of the day. Some

Promise Years Step 2 holds wind-up It was a beautiful summer day for the Deloraine Step 2 Program wind- up on Monday, June 8. The kids and parents gathered at the Park for a fun time of crafts, songs, and snacks. Pictured back (L-R): Lily Wells, Chloe Astle, Jaelyn Mann, Paige Vandaele and facilitator Kerry McRuer. Front: Nolan and Blake Vandaele. PHOTO /JUDY WELLS

by Judy Wells The Step 2 program in Deloraine has been

running for 5 plus years. Stacey Vanbeselaere was the facilitator for the first few years and the program is now being facilitated by Kerry McRuer.

The program runs from October to May and the goal is to hold 16 - two hour sessions in each community (every other week/x2 / month). The focus is on rhymes, book sharing, parent/child activity, parent discussion time and free play for children.

The program is free for parents and their preschool aged children 0-5.

Step 2 is a program under the umbrella of PROMISE Years Coalition. Step 2 has been running in the PROMISE Years catchment area for eight years. The program was delivered in nine communities this past year including Boissevain, Deloraine, Killarney, Reston, Virden, Elkhorn, Kola, Melita, Souris and start - ing in the fall it will be delivered in Cartwright, Glenboro, and Hartney as well.

There’s a very meaningful message in the PROMISE Years brochure:

Message for my child:

You matter, you matter absolutely Whatever happens, we’ll get through it

together I pick you, I chose you, I love you

You matter more than any mistake I make You matter more than any mistake you make

I will be bigger, stronger, wiser, kinder, because “You matter, you matter absolutely”

Their Vision: Building capacity in parents, children and

families for optimal child development, leading to a healthy region. Their Mission:

To provide equitable opportunities for par - ents and children in our region to develop to their fullest potential, with emphasis on the prenatal period and early childhood, from birth to school age.

It’s a win-win for parents and children. The kids learn, have fun, interact and play and the parents get time to connect with other parents.

The program will pick up again in the fall. If you would like more information please con - tact the program coordinator, Vicki Neufeld at 204-534-2494 or e-mail [email protected] or [email protected]

Oil Capitals draft Justin Lee

Justin Lee was recently drafted in the MJHL by the Virden Oil Capitals. He has been fortunate enough to play on lots of great hockey teams through the years. He feel his strengths are being able to read the ice well, making a good first pass to get out of the zone, and his work ethic. In the off season Justin works out with Jonathon Filewich with Outperform. His greatest influence has been Don Deitrich “because over the years he has taught me almost everything I know about the game of hockey and helped me get to this point today.” In the future, he would like to play hockey at the highest level he is able to for as long as he can. Justin says his hockey highlights over the years have been win - ning Tournament of Champions, Provincials, and being selected to the Virden Oil Capitals this past draft. Congratulations Justin and best of luck in your future hockey endeavours.

These days, Yao can be found in the kitchen of J&D Restaurant in Hamiota, which has been up and run - ning since mid-March. And he couldn’t be happier.

Five things you need to know about flea beetles (Continued on Page 9) specify that they should not be applied when tem - perature are above 25°C.However, if conditions are cool AND wet, don’t bother spraying anything.

“Flea beetles don’t like rain, and will take cover in the soil and wait it out,” Soroka says. Product labels also say not to spray if rain is likely within one hour.4. Stem feeding can be more damaging than leaf feeding. While flea beetles may not do much on wet days, on cool and windy days they will move down to stems and keep feeding. There is no set economic threshold for stem feeding, but if the stem is chewed through or leaf stalks are sev - ered, leaf area loss will be 100%. If flea beetles are primarily on stems, consider 25% plant stand loss as the point where action may be warranted.Soroka reminds growers that if stem damage is observed, make sure damage is actually from flea beetles. “Wind and frost can also cause stem damage,” she says. “While flea beetles may be present, if most of the damage is from other causes, an insecticide application may not provide an economic benefit.” Sprays work through contact and ingestion, and are therefore more effective when flea beetles are on top of leaves and exposed to direct contact. Some contact will occur when flea beetles are on stems, and as long as water volumes are sufficient and there is no rain in the near forecast, ingestion will also provide some control.5. Seed treatments are less effective on striped flea beetles. Current canola seed treatments are not as effective on striped flea beetles as they are on crucifer flea beetles. “However, the difference is slight and no matter which species are pre - sent, the same level of scouting is required to determine the potential need for a foliar insec - ticide application,” Gabert says.

Seed treatments may also be close to the end of their 28- to 35-day protective period. Some early seeded crops, provided they were in moist soils and started to take up mois - ture right away, will start to lose this pro - tection by now. This is particularly important in fields that have been slow to develop, and do not reach the four- leaf stage — the stage when canola plants are no longer as vulnerable to flea beetle feeding - within the seed treat - ment’s protective period.For more on flea beetle manage - ment, go to www.cano - lawatch.org and search for articles called “Estimating flea beetle damage in canola” and “How to make the flea beetle spray decision.” While there, click the “Sign Up” tab at the top to receive the free weekly Canola Watch agronomy email.

Serving ManitobaSince 1959

by Judy Wells “Who is that masked

man?” So wondered the cast of the Waskada School Drama when they presented “The Masked Musketeer” on Thursday, May 28.

The dinner theatre included dinner at 6:00 and the play at 7:00 in the school MPR. A delicious dinner of meatballs, rice, asparagus and coleslaw was catered by the Waskada Early Learning Centre and served by the actors. Between Act One and Act Two, scrumptious servings of homemade ice cream desserts were served.

The play was produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, Inc. Englewood, Colorado and the local talent of direc - tor Erin Anderson.

As said by one patron, “The kids were fantastic - Ms Anderson just seems to be able to pull it out of them.” Indeed, the actors knew their parts well, spoke clearly and delivered humorous antics right on cue.

Here’s a production syn - opsis of the play:

“The Masked Musketeer has it all - comedy, action, romance, and mystery. The men of a small Spanish vil - lage are called to Madrid by the King, leaving behind only the women, one town

elder, and three unruly “boys”. It doesn’t take long for the village to be overrun with bandits, so the lazy Lorenzo, Mateo, and Felipe take it upon themselves to become musketeers. Easier said than done. These wan - nabe swash bucklers are more like knee bucklers, and they can’t even get the say - ing right! (All for one and all for one).

Meanwhile, the town is coping with their own prob - lems: poor saloon owner Lucia must deal with the bandits drinking all the town’s Sarsaparilla; Sanchez doesn’t have anyone to chop his firewood; and Corina is busy preparing for her wed - ding but still needs a groom. The villagers grow discour - aged until a masked musket - eer swoops into help Mateo and his compadres fight off the bandits before mysteri - ously disappearing. When the bandits find out the town

has a hidden treasure, they take a hostage demanding to have it and the masked mus - keteer deliver to them. . .or else!
