They're calling it the 'Wild Mattress'.
They don't belong roaming free; they should be at the landfill. Almost every Monday throughout the summer, Ernie Sirski has heard about people dumping their old mattresses in ditches in the RM of Dauphin.
Illegal dumping costs all taxpayers in the RM of Dauphin. As Sirski says, it's very frustrating and needs to stop.
"It is. I'm not going to make any excuses for people doing it," said Sirski. "It makes work for our Public Works staff. They have to pick it up, take it to the landfill, and pay for it. It's a frustrating experience for us, Public Works, and I wish those people who are doing it would stop."
If you spot a mattress in the ditch in the RM of Dauphin, report it. You can call 638-4531. Ernie says he would take a photo if he spots anyone dumping one, but he says he wouldn't ask the public to do the same because of safety concerns.
There is a legal way to dispose of your old mattress, and it costs only $35.
"The only place to dispose of it properly is to the landfill, you put it in their trailer," ended Sirski. "That's the best way to do it. I wish people would do that. The only thing I can ask people to do is follow the rules, don't dump it on RM property."
The landfill is open Monday to Saturday. Full hours are here.

It's time to head back to school, and safety always needs to be at the forefront.
The Manitoba RCMP has a few tips for those taking buses to school.
- Arrive at the bus stop early;
- Wait in a safe place away from the edge of the road; and
- Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop with its overhead red lights flashing or its stop arm activated before approaching.
When leaving the bus:
- Always cross the road in front of the stopped bus, never behind;
- Look all ways and wait for the driver to signal before crossing in front of the bus; and
- Walk — don’t run — across the road.
And of course, for you drivers, you are a big key in keeping kids safe.
- Slow down in school zones and watch for children crossing the road
- Slow down and prepare to stop, whether you are behind or approaching a bus
- Stop for school buses when red lights are flashing—it’s the law and it saves lives
- Stay alert around crosswalks, bike riders, and busy pick-up/drop-off areas

Arnold Asham is proud of what has been accomplished.
He knew the end of the line for Asham Stomperfest was nearing. But before that came, he put his all into one more edition of the annual festival. The 23rd Annual Stomperfest took over Reedy Creek over the weekend.
A packed crowd of nearly 2,000 in attendance had plenty to cheer about. Headliners this year included Asham Stompers, the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers, the Nelson Little Band, and Desiree Dorion.
"There were many highlights. I would say the best day was Saturday with the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers and the Asham Stompers," said Asham. "Desiree Dorion was outstanding on Friday. It was really good. We were pretty happy with how the weekend went."
23 years after it started, Asham Stomperfest is no longer. Due to rising costs and Arnold's health, this past weekend's event was the final one.
More than 35,000 people entered the festival grounds over the past 23 years.
"Big thank you to all of our incredible volunteers. My family, especially," offered Asham. "All the people were so appreciative of what we do. The bands loved that we always offer a first-class sound system and lighting. All in all, it was a great time, and a great festival."
The festival's mission was to help re-capture and preserve the history of the Métis people through the traditional dancing of the Red River jig.
It's to have fun and enjoy the richness of the Métis tradition through the Red River Jig, combined with square dancing, which has been done in the First Nations Communities for years.
When asked what Asham Stomperfest meant to him, Arnold emotionally said, 'It means everything. '
"We were trying to bring hope to Indigenous kids and I am sure we have saved some lives," ended Asham. "That has to be the ultimate highlight, the kids that we have helped over the years. Look at the kids who started dancing with us at five years old, and now they're 25. It's been a wonderful journey. It's my heart and soul."
Arnold is a world champion curling coach. He's in Baseball Manitoba's Hall of Fame.
He is proud of all of his accomplishments, but Asham Stomperfest will go down as his greatest achievement.

The Dauphin Airport went vintage on Sunday, August 23.
Three World War II airplanes were in town from the Commonwealth Air Training Museum in Brandon. The North American Harvard, a highly successful trainer aircraft used extensively during World War II to prepare pilots for high-performance fighters, was one. The Cornell and Fleet Finch also made an appearance.
Nearly every ride was sold out. Darrell Inkster organized the event and was pleased.
"I think it went fantastically considering the weather," said Inkster. "We had a fairly good turnout."
Through donations and food sales, Inkster also presented the Dauphin Air Cadets with around $800. Members of the Air Cadets were on hand volunteering.
"It was great. Besides the cash, between me and Chuck Lund, we were able to get five or six Air Cadets in the air at no charge," offered Inkster. "We were glad to have them out there."
The first event went so well, Darrell is set to double up. The powerful Harvard will return this Sunday, September 7. The Tiger Moth, which was used extensively as a primary trainer for pilots in the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces during World War II, will also be at the Dauphin Airport.
Rides on the Tiger Moth are currently sold out, but you can still check it out in person. There are five spots left on the Harvard flight. The Harvard flight costs $430, plus a $30 museum membership. The Harvard is a bigger aircraft and burns much more fuel.
If you're interested in taking a flight on the historic Harvard aircraft, call Darrell at 572-7066.
"I've been in contact with the pilots," ended Inkster. "They're great guys to work with. We're on the same page. They like coming here and I like bringing them here."
The flights start at 10:00 a.m. The Dauphin Airport goes vintage on Sunday morning and you can be a part of this special day, whether you want to take a ride, or just see the planes up close and personal.

On Friday, August 25, 2023, Lyndon McIvor told his mom he was going out and said, "I will see you later, I love you".
Lyndon didn't return home and wasn't answering his phone. On Sunday, August 27, his family was told where he was dropped off. The search for Lyndon began.
Two years later, the search for answers and closure continues.
"My son was 25 when he went missing and was found murdered. It's very sad," said Cheryl Maytwayashing. "He was outgoing. He loved hockey, baseball, and sports. He was proud of his babies; he took care of them."
Lyndon's body was found five days later in a wooded area on the Lake Manitoba First Nation. Two years later, the RCMP are confident that the persons responsible for Lyndon's death remain in the community.
"Like it happened in our community, and that makes it harder," continued Maytwayashing. "Because everyone knows each other. And when something happens, it affects all of us."
Cheryl says it continues to affect many people on the First Nation. She's scared that those responsible could do it to another family. She's hoping someone will tell what happened that night and why.
"People do know. My sons' ashes are still in the house," ended Maytwayashing. "I won't bury him until I know. Some nights, I don't sleep. My grandsons won't get their dad back. My sons won't have their brother. We need answers to what happened. I need to know."
RCMP originally charged Barry Leslie Swan with second-degree murder in September 2023. That charge was stayed in Ashern court on September 11, 2024. Prosecutors stated that there was a low likelihood of conviction against him.
If you have any information that could help, call the Manitoba RCMP tip line at 431-489-8110.
