Snowmobile
We had a snowmobile enter the park today judging by the freshness of the tracks. It entered at the opening at the western edge of Players Golf Course and the 'Golf Course' trail, did a loop through the park and then left at the opening at the eastern end of Players and the truck lots. I've sent a e-mail to Brain Mayes about this.

Coyote
From Krista C. :Hi Lloyd. FYI - caution to dog park users: saw a coyote in the south east corner (golf course path & open field area) of the park about 5:45 pm this evening. The coyote was heading north into the park.
With the Centreport Hwy. changing the deer population movements the coyote range has moved also.

Home Page Errors - Jan 28, 2015
Earlier this morning, you will have experienced some errors in your web browser when you visited our home page.
Our site was not hacked, and was not hosting any malware. The error messages were caused when our hosting provider upgraded some software components on their server, to a version incompatible with the software that runs our website.
The issue was resolved (temporarily, by rolling back the problematic update) shortly after 11:30 am CST. A permanent fix (in the form of an upgrade to our back-end website software) will be implemented later this winter.

Dog Attack
From Nancy: This is Jack
I would like to inform you of a vicious dog attack on January 15th at about 1:15. My mother was walking our dog (on a leash) at the park when she met a woman with a black lab cross (also on leash) she insisted was very friendly. Immediately the dog viciously attacked our dog. The owner ran away after my mother was bitten in the face and lost half her finger trying to save our dog who's back was torn in half. We need to warn fellow pet owners. The woman was wearing leggings and a pink jacket. She had reddish brown hair in a ponytail. She was walking with another woman who had a retriever. We will post warning posters tomorrow. Thank God it was not a toddler or small dog.
I'm so sorry that this has happened.
Up-date
It's getting better. Denny's finger is hurting less and her bruising
> is clearing up but the stitches are itchy. Jack is feeling great so
> we have to stop him doing stupid things like running and jumping so
> the sutures don't break. I don't think we'll ever find this woman but
> I want people to be on the lookout so no one else gets hurt.

CITY OF WINNIPEGEnlarge Image
City of Winnipeg administration recommend that the off-leash area at Little Mountain Park be expanded to the adjacent picnic area, known as Area C, but that the forested area, Area B, remain an on-leash site.
There appears to be support among some members of city council to have all of Little Mountain Park officially designated as an off-leash dog park.
Members of the protection and community services committee endorsed an administrative recommendation Monday to have the park's status included in a pending master-plan review for off-leash dog parks.
Couns. Matt Allard and Jeff Browaty said it makes sense to designate the entire park, which is located just outside the city boundaries in the RM of Rosser, as an off-leash site.
"There is one person who wants to use the park for every 100 people who want to bring their dogs," Browaty (North Kildonan) said. "I'm sorry, the dogs win every time."
Allard (St. Boniface) said Winnipeg suffers from a scarcity of off-leash sites. In comparison, he said, Calgary has 10 times the number of park acreage set aside as off-leash space.
The City of Winnipeg has operated a quarry at the park site since the late 1800s and has owned the entire park since 1965. But because it's located outside the city boundaries, it's not in any one ward and no councillor is responsible for it.
City hall has designated Little Mountain Park as one of three regional dog parks, the other two being sections of Kilcona and Maple Grove parks. Officially, only a small portion of the 64.7-hectare park is designated as an off-leash park.
Dog owners stepped up lobbying efforts in the past year to have more park space set aside as off-leash areas. The administration recommends the off-leash area be expanded to the picnic area adjacent to the existing off-leash zone, but to prohibit off-leash from the majority of the forested areas of the park.
Coun. Jason Schreyer (Elmwood-East Kildonan) expressed caution, saying school groups visit the park, and there would be safety concerns if dogs were allowed to run loose throughout the entire site. Schreyer noted a bylaw requires dog owners be able to see their dogs at all times when off-leash, but that's not possible on the winding trails of the forest area.
Jordan Lobe, vice-president of the Little Mountain Park dog club, said he expects a master plan on off-leash parks will ultimately recommend the entire park be designated as an off-leash site, so council should go that route now.

Off the leash: Dog owners want greater share of Little Mountain Park

A Winnipeg city councillor has concerns about resident safety if a popular dog park were to be allowed to go fully off the leash.
Coun. Jason Schreyer (Elmwood-East Kildonan) said during a protection and community services committee meeting on Monday that expanding Little Mountain Park to be entirely off-leash could raise safety concerns.
“Our concern is the safety concern,” Schreyer, a dog owner himself, said. “There’s a risk of a dog potentially — I’m not saying it’s going to happen — threatening a child or doing something more seriously to the child or an adult for that matter.”
The committee voted on recommendations from city administration to turn two out of three portions of the park into off-leash areas, leaving a forested area as on-leash.
Jordan Lobe, vice-president of the Little Mountain Park Dog Club, said the park is already being used extensively by off-leash dog owners and has lobbied for the entire park to be designated an off-leash area.
“We’re not in anyone’s backyard ... this is the place to have off-leash space,” Lobe said. “It’s an opportunity and, again, it’s a unique space to do it in.”
Coun. Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan) seemed unconvinced of safety issues, arguing the out-of-the-way location of the park means people going there are already doing so largely as a destination for their dogs.
“Any time there’s conflict of usage of a park, there’s going to be people that are passionate on both sides of the issue,” he said. “In this particular case, these aren’t parks you send your kids to go play after school. These are destination parks. In most cases, you have to drive to them.”

Dog Attack
I just heard from a friend who was talking to a co-worker about dog attack at the park over the weekend.
The only details I have so far is that it happened over the weekend, a lady’s Golden retriever was attacked by another dog and ripped half it’s ear off and was not able to reattach it, was stitched up and now on antibiotics with a whopping $800.00 vet bill so far.
Apparently a lone male and his dog got nasty with her and walked away leaving her with a bleeding dog!!!
I am trying to find out more details.
What the F*@# is wrong with people!! Be responsible for your dogs behaviours and own up to an incident if it occurs!
Can we post something about this, people like this ruin it for others!

Paige McNabb has started an online petition to save the gophers from being poisoned.Photo Store
Gophers are gaining some support online in a bid to prevent the city from using gas to kill the rodents in public parks.
Paige McNabb, 18, created a petitionFridayagainst the City of Winnipeg’s plans.
RELATED ITEMS
POLL
Do you agree with using smoke bombs to control the gopher population?
Yes. Let's keep city parks for people.
No. Can't we find a more humane way?
Don't really care. Gophers don't get in my way.

In about a day, she had gathered more than 350 online signatures. The city announced Wednesday it is abandoning the use of poison for gopher control in favour of sulphur smoke bombs.
"When I heard about the gassing and killing of the gophers, I was instantly upset about it," McNabb said. "I was discussing the matter with my boyfriend when he suggested I start the petition.
"To me, it is unfair and inhumane that hundreds of gophers will die for being ‘annoying’ and just for living the lives they have adapted to over the years."
The city said it will switch to smoke bombs because of an incident last year in which a dog became seriously ill after ingesting poison intended for gophers in Little Mountain Park.
A city spokeswoman said gopher control is a necessary procedure in parks, and that the new method has been tested.
"Gophers pose a significant risk to park users, including athletic-field participants who are at the greater risk for injury. As a result, control of gophers is necessary," Michelle Finley wrote in an email. "It is lit and thrown into active gopher holes, where it creates a sulphur gas that asphyxiates the gophers. There is no poison remaining in the treatment area by using this product."
McNabb, who works at a pizza parlour and will be studying nursing starting in September, said she believes the city could use different methods that wouldn’t kill the gophers.
These could include erecting warning signs in public parks or relocating the gophers, she said.
"There’s also ways that are more natural to have them leave on their own, (such as) planting a certain type of plant called euphorbia lathyris, also known as gopher spurge, which is a plant they don’t like to be around," McNabb said.
Originally, she wanted to get 100 signatures but set a new target of 500 by Saturday after the numbers started adding up.
"I really underestimated the amount of people that agree with me and want to raise awareness for these gophers," McNabb said.
"I’m hoping to make (city) council second-guess the decision that they are about to make.
"There is so much more we can do for these gophers instead of ending their lives in a tragic way."
McNabb did not reveal her next step in the campaign.
Dave Domke, the city’s manager of parks and open spaces, told the Free Press last week people and dogs were suffering sprained legs because of gopher holes.
"If there is a concern, we have to try and control that problem," Domke said.
"We’re never going to eradicate or exterminate (the gophers). We’re just trying to control them."
A trial run of the smoke bombs last year in John Blumberg Park, he said, proved successful. The city is also considered using carbon monoxide this year.
"As a result, there should be few concerns to people, wildlife or dogs," Finley said.

City to use smoke bombs to control gopher population

The Giant Destroyer - smoke bomb kills gophers, moles, woodchucks, rats, skunks and ground squirrels.
City hall is changing its arsenal in the fight against gophers.
City crews will be relying on sulphur smoke bombs to kill the scourge of city parks and sports fields.
"It’s a lit product that you throw down the gopher hole and it emits a sulphur gas and ends up asphyxiating the gophers," Dave Domke, manager of the city’s parks and open spaces.
Domke’s crews drew unwanted attention last summer when a dog became seriously ill following a visit to Little Mountain Park after it ingested a piece of the city’s then-preferred weapon of choice – an anti-coagulant poison.
Gopher holes – actually created by rodents known as the Richardson ground squirrel – in many parks and sports fields have become a major concern of city hall, where they pose a safety threat to runners and athletes young and old.
Domke said there are about a dozen parks and sports fields where the problem is most severe and they had been employing the poison to kill the gophers.
But the use of poison was suspended last summer following the incident at Little Mountain Park.
Domke said the city had been conducting a pilot program using the sulphur smoke bomb, known commercially as the Giant Destroyer, at John Blumberg Park. It proved successful and is now being employed at other areas where the gopher holes are a concern.
"We’ve had incidents where people and dogs have experienced sprained legs because of the gopher holes," Domke said. "If there is a concern we have to try and control that problem."
Domke said the anti-coagulant poison will not be used this year.
Crews will begin surveying the open fields – where the gophers have been a serious problem in the past – at the end of April and early May.
Domke said crews look for signs of fresh dirt around the holes – indications of new gopher activity. The sulphur smoke bombs will be dropped into the holes.
"We’re never going to eradicate or exterminate (the gophers)," Domke said. "We’re just trying to control them."

Vandalism
Vandalism at the Park
From Annette:
Good day I just wanted to bring this to someones attention . I was walking my dog down the centre path heading south . When I came upon 3 young men and 1 older chopping down young green trees . I stopped and told them that was not aloud . They said who's going to stop us. I was alone no one around so I just kept going . Called 311 and reported it. This happened Sunday around 2 in the afternoon . Today I walked the same way and there was a pile of about 20 long logs hidden in the bush but still able to see from path. I just hate seeing people destroying the living trees and who knows these people can hurt some with their axes ..Thank you ...
I saw this afternoon at the park along with a camp fire site near the downed trees in the brush. Also, a car was set fire in the North Parking lot and there are Paint Balls everywhere. I'm sending this off to the Parks and Rec. people and Councillor Brian Mayes.

An animal advocate is imploring the city to think of the gophers as it carries out its control operations, and she is not alone.
Nearly 3,500 people have added their names to an online petition which began following news the city has turned to sulphur smoke bombs to control burrowing holes in about a dozen parks and athletic fields.
"These are intelligent, sentient beings. They would feel the pain as much as you or I," said Judy Stearns, who's been advocating on behalf of the rodents also known as Richardson's ground squirrels.
A city spokeswoman said the control program which recently began is needed as the holes pose a "significant risk" to park and field users.
The city turned to a product known commercially as The Giant Destroyer this year after suspending the use of poison pellets last summer when a dog ingested them at Little Mountain Park.
The pellets contained an anticoagulant which causes prolonged internal bleeding. Smoke bombs asphyxiate the rodents and are preferable to poison because they're relatively fast-acting and don't carry the same high risk of collateral damage, according to James Hare, a biological sciences professor at the University of Manitoba.
"I've been told that it's more humane, but it's not humane," Stearns countered. "If it takes 30 minutes for the respiratory system to hemorrage and collapse, how humane is that? I think if people saw it they would be mortified."
The city has been conducting a pilot program with the sulphur smoke bombs at John Blumberg and is considering starting another that uses carbon monoxide.
Stearns, who lives on a hobby farm near Stonewall, questions the need to control the gopher population — but if intervention is required she'd prefer to see them captured live and relocated or euthanized.
While the city was uncertain if those options had been explored, Hare said relocation is labour-intensive and would have had to occur prior to females birthing their litters. Live trapping and euthanizing also carry high labour demand and costs.
"Some things are just too cruel and inhumane to do. If it costs more to do it humanely, so be it, or else just leave them alone," Stearns said.
Hare, who said that Richardson ground squirrels are of "critical importance ecologically," doesn't like the idea of killing anything but understands that value judgments are made when it comes to land use.
"It ultimately comes down to how much we value other life, and feel compelled to treat all living things in a humane and ethical fashion," he said.

Garage Sale
What a huge success! Thank you to everybody who helped us out.
Hello all:
Well, we had a hugely successful weekend with the garage sale. We made approximately $1200.00 so we have enough money to pay all the bills and a healthy sum in the bank to boot. Thanks to everyone who generously donated their items to sell and more importantly their time. This was a great group effort that really paid off and really shows what we can accomplish when we work together.
Thanks especially to Wally and his Mom for letting us take over their garage for the weekend. You were very gracious hosts. The North end rocks for garage sales. We have enough left over to have another sale in the late summer if everyone feels up to it but we can discuss this at the next meeting. We made a healthy donation of leftovers to the Canadian Diabetes collection and we have lots left over that is stored in our garage.
Thanks again everyone – great job!!

Dog Injured
Good day , I was out at the dog park this morning playing ball in the field . When all these kids start running around . My dog got excited picked up one of the many traffic like cones .Running with it then this guy starts yelling at me to get my dog away from the kids. Before I could get her on the leash one kid went and kicked her in the head . The shoe must have caught her eye it started to bleed . I have her at the vet as we speak . I would like the names off the schools involved in the outing . How is going to pay the huge vet bill? I don't understand why they have to play at a dog park when there is a sports plex across the road . So not fair ...ty

The leftovers after the large group that used the park this weekend.
FYI tons of broken beer bottles at the fire pit by the off leash parking lot. Tried to clean a lot up but my dogs kept getting to close. I'll try to get more tomorrow but keep pups away from that area. And a ton of food was thrown in the bushes where that big party happened last weekend. So of your dogs have sensitive stomachs to human food you should keep them away from that area.

From Darlene:
This is for the older man I saw June 19th Friday evening
I saw you trying to get your dog to come to you, from
across the field it sat frozen in the grass and as
you approached the poor dog you then whipped it with
the leash numerous times with force!!
There is NO reason to treat a dog in that way…at ALL!!
There is no wonder the dog does not come to you when
called!! Why would it when you beat it!
I wanted to say something but was alone,
but if I EVER see you do that again I will
Report you to Animal Services for cruelty to an animal!
I know who you are and your dog I will be watching!!!!!

Mighty tree of paranormality
Stories abound about cottonwood

PHIL HOSSACK / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
Rumour has it this giant cottonwood tree in Little Mountain Park is haunted. Photo Store
Winnipeg has more than 3,300 hectares of green space, made up of parks, gardens, trails, grasslands, forests, ponds and streams. Assiniboine Park, modelled after New York City's Central Park and home of the multimillion-dollar Journey to Churchill exhibit, gets most of the attention. But there are dozens of lesser-known parks throughout the city. In this summer series, Free Press reporters shine a light on some of these under-the-radar ecological gems.
On the northern boundary of Little Mountain Park, just south of Farmer Avenue in the RM of Rosser, a giant cottonwood tree stands tall.
The tree, which is more than a century old, is a majestic hunk of wood, its trunk as thick as a train. The branches stretch far up to the sky, reaching in every direction and creating a canopy that colours most elm-lined streets inside many of the old Winnipeg neighbourhoods green with envy.
The tree is a landmark, a postcard -- and might be haunted.
"It does have a reputation of being a place where paranormal activity exists, that's true," offered Tazz Norris, the lead investigator for the Winnipeg Paranormal Group (WPG). "And there are accounts of people seeing orbs and feeling ill at ease when in the presence of the tree. I'm just not sure its history holds up, though."
The sordid tale of the potentially evil tree reads like this: Back before the park was a park (the area was known as Mount Royal and Little Stony Mountain), the mighty cottonwood was rumoured to have been used as a lynching tree by the Ku Klux Klan.
However, before you ring the Ghostbusters, it should be pointed out there is no historical strength to support this claim. Norris and a handful of local paranormal aficionados say there is no concrete evidence the tree was used for this purpose -- even if the bark on some of the branches looks twisted.
Norris said the last time WPG took a look at the tree, in 2010, there was nothing out of the ordinary to report.
That doesn't mean one doesn't experience an eerie feeling when in its presence, though. There is something to this encounter -- maybe it's just the urban legend associated with it or the physical size of the tree itself -- that leaves one uneasy.
"I'm not saying it's not haunted," Norris said. "It could very well be, and the fact there is a lot of limestone in that area is something that we would consider notable."
The tree stands on a limestone ridge left by the Lake Agassiz glacier, a ridge that was developed as one of Winnipeg's first limestone quarries in 1896. There are still traces of that work around the site, and the quarry now serves as a pond for park visitors.
Limestone, according to popular paranormal theory, is an excellent recorder of past events. The rock holds the memory and energy of traumatic events, like a geological video camera, and has the ability to press play on that energy at certain moments when conditions are right.
"Places with large amounts of limestone or quartz, with the bedrock near the surface, tend to have some activity around them," Norris said.
Officially designated a civic green space in 1965, Little Mountain Park is located in the northwest corner of the city, tucked away behind Players golf course at Inkster Avenue and Brookside Boulevard. The 'maybe-haunted' tree and quarry are on the north edge of the 160-acre park, next to a large section of thick aspen forest.
Inside that forest, a network of wood-chipped trails is available for hikers and mountain bikers who wish to wind their way through the various small wildlife and forest floor vegetation. There are a handful of fire pits and picnic areas tucked away off some of the trails, as well.
Little Mountain also boasts one of the city's more popular off-leash dog areas, with a large section of grass set aside for canines on the western edge of the park along Klimpke Road.

2nd Annual Golf Touranment
We are having our 2nd annual golf tournament. It's strictly a fun event given our big budget. I like to set it up as a two ball foursome. Teaming a non-golfer (not quite tour potential) with a seasoned vet (somebody who has at least seen a golf course!).
Last year we had a lot of fun with a small group. We are hoping for a better turn out this year. I'd like to get a $5.00 registration fee that I will put toward your $25.00 green fees. If You need clubs they are extra.
No rain date is set.
Please let me know if you would like to play as soon as you can.
Cheers, Lloyd

Zoe
Please Help Save Zoe
Hi, my name is Zoe. I am a 5 year old golden retriever. I am a very active and happy dog, even now being so hurt I am still smiling. I have ruptured both my hind right and left leg Cruciate ligaments. I am unable to walk without aid, in the form of a belly sling and need immediate surgery. I am on strict bed rest and medicated until a TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) surgery can be performed on both legs at once. My only wish is to run again after the ball at Little Mountain Park with my older brother, Quincy. My parents have been overwhelmed with veterinary bills for my brother Quincy since he was diagnosed with un-operable bladder cancer in June 2014. Each month the medications bills for him is from $250.00 to $500.00 a month since diagnosis.
This freak accident happened 2 weeks ago and the surgery is going to cost a minimum of $5000.00. My parents love me very much and just want me to have a chance at a long happy and healthy life. Without this surgery I will become crippled and have to put down to end my suffering. My parents have tried everything from asking the vet clinics to make payments, going to humane society, applied and got denied for borrowing money from pet insurance, phoning shelters and clinics, trying to get help at the University Veterinary Clinic at U of S. However, in this current economy everyone is having a very tough time financially. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point. We could not thank you enough for your kindness and generosity helping our family at this difficult time.
You can find more about my story on the GoFUNDme page my generous cousin has created for me at ZOE’S SURGERY FUND in Winnipeg, Manitoba. You can view my x-rays and the Veterinary surgery estimate. The Stonewall Veterinary Clinic where the operation will be performed is also accepting donations on Zoe’s Behalf. Below is all the information you need to make a donation thru cash or credit over the phone or in person:

Skunk Up-date
Facebook
This is a scary thing. More wildlife is being driven into the park with all the construction going on, Please be very careful with these encounters.
A friend of mine from curling is an Animal services officer. She told me that they dispatched two officers to the park on Wednesday to take care of the skunk. It turns out it was rabid. That is very scary!
Rabies is transmitted in saliva when a rabid skunk bites another animal. Skunks cannot spread rabies through urine, feces or even viatheir unpleasant spray, even if the skunk is rabid.

Ron donated this years Christmas Tree to City Hall.
A big, beautiful Colorado blue spruce is standing in front of Winnipeg's city hall, ready to be decorated with lights for the holidays.
Winnipeg city hall's Christmas tree coming from home in The Maples
Crews moved the 12-metre-tall tree there on Sunday morning from its home, a yard in The Maples, where it stood for 45 years.
Ron Gerth donated the tree, which he said grew too big for his yard on Doubleday Drive.
"I'm glad I could donate it so it could be put to good use and many people can enjoy it throughout the holiday season," he said.
The ceremonial lighting for the tree is expected to take place in December, at a date yet to be announced.

Snowmobiles
I sent this off to the City 311 desk.
Friday Dec. 18th at Little Mountain Park.
With the new snow that has fallen snowmobiles have been entering the park at the South east corner, following along the 'Golf Course' trail and exiting through the opening next to Players Golf Course field. Somebody is going to get hurt by these people!
Thank you for your time.
