HOW- TO VIDEO READER SERVICE / GENERAL INQUIRIES 204- 697- 7000 A 2 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2014 winnipegfreepress. com I T'S Valentine's Day, and there is definitely something special in the air. It's either the magical power of true love or - and I'm pretty sure it's this second thing - the enticing aroma of sizzling bacon. I say this because I have just returned from visiting some of this nation's top love gurus, by which I mean the kids in Yury Kruk's Grade 5 class and Derek Paul's grades 4 and 5 class at Hampstead School in East Kildonan. I spent a morning with these pint- sized love doctors as part of I Love to Read Month. In return, they presented me with the sort of thoughtful gift that can reduce a grown newspaper columnist to tears - two pounds of gourmet bacon. Along with delicious salty strips of cured pork, the kids also agreed to squat on the floor and, wielding No. 2 pencils, scribble out their secrets for becoming irresistible to the opposite sex, recipes for love that, not surprisingly, frequently included bacon as a key ingredient. Here are their unedited responses: Secret No. 1 - " If you are single and feel lonely, you should try to go on a dating website or, if that does not work, try to cook bacon and rub it all over you and cook more, put it on a plate, go outside and they will all come for you, but if they don't like bacon you can try to talk to him or her and if you are a boy ask her out!" - Alysse, 10, Grade 5 Secret No. 2 - " Listen to them talk, even if you are not really interested in what they are talking about. And agree a lot. Girls seem to like when you say sorry." - Anderson, 11 Secret No. 3 - " If your lonly and you don't have any one read this tip ...

Sooner or later he will talk to you. 2nd step - Anything that's a joke, laugh, even if it's a horrible joke. 3rd step - If he asks you out, you always say yes and if it is the worst place to go, you still say yes. 4th step - If this becomes a normal thing when you go out a lot, it's time to take a step further.

THE first case of a virus that can wipe out a barn's weanling pigs within a week is suspected in Manitoba. The Chief Veterinary Office of Manitoba is expected to confirm this morning porcine epidemic diarrhea virus ( PEDv) has been discovered on a Manitoba farm. The location of the farm was not revealed Thursday. The virus is not a threat to humans. Adult pigs recover from the virus. However, PEDv has the potential to obliterate the piglet population and cost the industry tens of millions of dollars. Steps are being taken to contain the virus. The farm in question has been sealed off and pigs on neighbouring farms are being inspected by veterinarians, said the Manitoba Pork Council. PEDv was initially found in the United States. It surfaced in Ontario last month. PEDv is spread in feces. The suspicion is a trailer that had been out of province may have carried the virus into Manitoba. A piglet can die within six days and the virus is highly contagious to others in a litter. The pork council cautions producers to make sure any trucks or trailers that come onto their yards be properly washed and disinfected. Court won't hear Katz case THE Supreme Court of Canada won't hear an appeal in the case of a Winnipeg man who alleges the mayor violated provincial conflict- ofinterest laws. Mayor Sam Katz came under fire for hosting a $ 3,000 Christmas party in December 2010 for city councillors and staff at an Asian restaurant he owned. Joe Chan, owner of another restaurant, asked the courts to find Katz had broken the law and used his influence to have public money spent at his establishment. A lower court ruled Katz did not book the event at his establishment and found no evidence he pressured city staff to do so. The Manitoba Court of Appeal upheld that finding, as well as a ruling that ordered Chan to pay Katz $ 10,000 in legal costs. As usual, the Supreme Court gave no reasons for refusing to hear the case. Fined for smoke shop FOUR aboriginal men have been fined $ 190,000 for running a smoke shop that sold cut- rate cigarettes in Manitoba. Provincial court Judge Shauna Hewitt- Michta sentenced the group Wednesday in Brandon. Dakota Plains First Nation Chief Orville Smoke told the judge the intent of the Dakota Chundee Smoke Shop was to provide revenue for his impoverished people. He said it was also intended to draw attention to the need for better living conditions on area reserves. The judge accepted the smoke shop wasn't run out of greed and noted some of the proceeds were used on the reserves. However, she ruled the men deliberately created and persisted in an enterprise they knew was illegal. Smoke, along with Frank Brown, former chief of the Canupawakpa Dakota Nation, and Charles and Garth Blacksmith, faced several offences under both the Tax Administration and Miscellaneous Taxes Act and the Tobacco Tax Act. - staff In Brief A_ 04_ Feb- 14- 14_ FP_ 01. indd A2 2/ 13/ 14 10: 09: 08 PM ;
