Janssens to host book launch Emily Janssens, 22, has always wanted to write a book. She accomplished this goal recently with the publication of her novella “Coming Home”. A book launch will be held at The Country Garden Inn in Deloraine on Thursday, February 18, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Janssens actually started writing a book in high school. “It’s a much longer story than Coming Home, so it’s still a work in progress,” she said. Janssens also has a few other story ideas written down - she’s not sure yet if they’re going to be future books or just short stories. Janssens is currently finishing up a joint degree with the University of Winnipeg and Red River College in Communications. One of the classes in the course is called the Independent Professional Project. “In a way this novella is a requirement for my course. My classmates and I each had to come up with a yearlong project with a workload equivalent of a college course. Because I’ve always wanted to write a book, I decided to use this class to do it,” she said. Janssens hopes her Communications education leads her to a career in public relations. “I’m thinking I’d like to work at a non-profit as there’s more opportunity to use all of the skills I’ve learned at school.” Janssens explained how a novella differs from a book. She said that novella is just a fancy word for a short novel. Book classifications go by word count. The length of a novella is 20,000 to 40,000 words, whereas the length of a novel is anything more than 40,000 words. “Coming Home” is historical fiction, which Janssens had never considered writing about until the last couple years. In 2014, she read a few historical fiction novels and that sparked her interest in the genre. The inspiration for “Coming Home” came from
Janssens’ rural background. “Since moving to the city, I’ve found that I have a new appreciation for where I grew up. When asked about inspiration, a lot of writers will say it’s easiest to write about what you know, and it’s true. Not everyone experiences what it’s like to live in a small rural town, so I just started with that. I decided to go with historical fiction because it really complemented the story,” said Janssens. What about a sequel or other books? “I think with the way “Coming Home” ends, there’s definitely room there for a sequel. I have no plans to write a sequel to it right now but maybe some day. I really enjoyed writing this novella and would love to write another one, so I hope there will be other books in my future,” she added. Janssens considers everyone who encouraged her to be creative when she was growing as a mentor to her in some way or another. “For this novella specifically, I’ve been working closely with my instructor Emily Cain, who has been a huge help to me in writing and producing Coming Home,” she adds. Can you offer any advise for any fledgling writers out there? “I think the best advice I can give is to focus on the story. No matter what you’re writing about or what genre you’re writing in, people want to read a good story. It helps to read a variety of authors to see how other writers build their stories. It also helps to write about something you’re interested in. Oh, and also learn the rules of grammar because it makes writing so much easier,” concluded Janssens.
“Coming Home” is a novella written by Emily Janssens who is finishing up a degree in Communications. A book launch will take place on Thursday, February 18, at Country Garden Inn, Deloraine. PHOTOS/JUDY WELLS

Signing of TPP is one important step towards increased exports submitted by Canola Council of Canada February 4, 2016 - Auckland, New Zealand - Today’s signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) starts the clock towards implementing a deal that will bring hundreds of millions more dollars from canola exports into communities to support stable jobs across the country. While negotiations finished in October 2015, today’s signing means that the elimination of tariffs on canola is one step closer. “Signing the TPP means that Canada is at the table in a deal that could increase the value of canola exports by up to $7801 million annually,” says Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada (CCC). “The elimination of canola oil tariffs in Japan is extremely important to our sector.” Because of Australia’s free trade agreement with Japan, they already have preferential access for canola oil into Japan. Each year that passes means that Australia will have a greater advantage over Canadian canola oil. Japan currently has tariffs on Canadian canola oil of approximately 15%, which has favoured the importation of canola seed to be crushed in Japan. Canadian exports of canola seed to Japan were worth $1.2 billion in 2014. The Canadian industry is concerned that without the TPP it will not only lose out on increased value-added exports, but will also see existing exports to one of Canada’s longest standing customers shrink. “We have been a stable supplier of canola seed to Japan for over 40 years, but we are acutely aware that other canola suppliers now have better access to Japan than Canada does,” says Miller. “We are very pleased the Canadian government signed the agreement and look forward to a full discussion about the importance of Canada implementing the agreement
in Parliament.” Through the TPP, tariffs on canola oil and canola meal will be eliminated for exports to Japan and Vietnam. This will allow more value-added processing to occur in Canada, a target of the canola industry’s strategic plan, Keep it Coming 2025. Reaching the industry’s target of 14 million tonnes of processing in Canada from the current 7.7 million tonnes will support more jobs and provide growers with more delivery opportunities. The CCC is on the ground in Auckland to support International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland signing the agreement on behalf of the government of Canada. As a member of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance (CAFTA), the CCC has been represented at virtually all the negotiations since Canada joined in 2012. Now that the agreement has been signed, it can come into effect once six countries representing 85% of the economy for the TPP region have ratified the agreement through their national processes. The CCC is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Improving market access for canola by eliminating tariffs and non-tariff barriers is part of the canola industry’s strategic plan, Keep it Coming 2025. For more information about the importance of trade to the Canadian canola industry and our economy, please visit www.canolacountry.ca Potential impacts of tariff elimination reflect a consensus of the canola value chain - which includes processors and exporters with in-depth knowledge of international market dynamics. Members were informed by research incorporating general equilibrium modeling that examined impacts of a TPP on each sector of the 12 countries’ economies under alternative scenarios. The study was completed by Dan Ciuriak, a former deputy chief economist for the Federal government’s department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. For more information, view the report titled Canola Market Impacts under Alternative TPP Scenarios.

Waskada Ladies Bonspiel goes “retro” The annual Waskada Ladies Bonspiel was held January 22, 23 and 24. Our theme this year was “retro”, so we saw many fashion statements from years gone by. Our junior curlers were outfitted with Waskada High School jackets that had been worn by family members dating from 1960 to 1983. This year we also had three mother/daughter combinations curling in our bonspiel: Coral and Sheena Meggison, Judy Edwards and Ang Temple, Kathy and Cara Zaharchuk.

Here & There by Judy Wells The Western Canadian “The Life and Times of Nellie McClung” Several people attended a presentation by Bette Mueller on the Life and Times of Nellie McClung at Manitou Regional Library on January 19. Mueller shared her opinions about what she felt made Nellie McClung a special person whose memory has lived on in popular culture and who has been the subject of several biographies. • • • Crossroads This Week “Open For Business” Dwight Logeot and his partner, Darrell Carlisle, opened the doors to Corner Equipment Shoal Lake at the former location of Murray’s Farm Supplies on January 25 with its focus on being a short line dealer similar to the previous dealership. Logeot stated they would be opening on a smaller capacity
initially, with the idea of ramping up for spring. He added they are still looking for a couple key staff members for their Shoal Lake location - their second location - with the first being in the Manitoba community of Carroll. The death of a two-month old female infant from the Sioux Valley First Nation has become a homicide investigation. The Manitoba Serious Crimes Unit, which has been leading the investigation since being notified on January 4 continues to investigate what is now a homicide case. • • • The Gazette “Destroyed historic home uninsured” The historic home that went up in flames in Glenboro recently was not insured. A cause hasn’t been confirmed but the fire started in the basement, where there was a wood-fired furnace. The home, believed to be built around 1900, has served as Glenboro Hospital and a Personal Care Home for periods of time before being reverted to a private residence. One person who was in the home at the time escaped the fire without injuries.

View from the Legislature submitted by Cliff Cullen, MLA On January 28, 1916, the Manitoba Legislature passed legislation that allowed most women the right to vote - Manitoba was the first province to take this step. To mark the centennial of this human rights milestone, a gala event was held January 28, 2016. The event honoured the work of Nellie McClung, and to recognize present day women who are walking in the footsteps of Nellie McClung. The event was sponsored by the Canadian Human Rights Museum and the Nellie McClung Foundation. Nellie Lettia Mooney was
born at Chatsworth, ON, in 1873. Her family moved to the Wawanesa area in 1880. She was an orator, entertainer, author, advocate, teacher, and an MLA in Alberta. She is best known for two major achievements - being one of the leading women who helped get the vote for most women of Manitoba, and as a member of the “famous five” - a group of women who worked to get women declared as “persons” rather than property under Federal law.

An event to honour the work of Nellie McClung, and to recognize present day women who are walking in the footsteps of Nellie McClung, was held January 28, 2016, exactly 100 years after the Manitoba Legislature passed legislation that allowed most women the right to vote. The event was sponsored by the Canadian Human Rights Museum and the Nellie McClung Foundation. Pictured with MLA Cliff Cullen is Nellie McClung’s granddaughter Marcia McClung, who was in attendance at the event. PHOTO/SUBMITTED
Odds & Ends by Judy Wells It was a pleasure interviewing Emily Janssens about her novella “Coming Home”. It’s a very rewarding part of this job to feature people’s accomplishments, especially graduates of Deloraine School. It speaks volumes about our School standards. Check out the article about Emily and mark your calendars for Thursday, February 18, to attend the launch of her novella “Coming Home” at the Country Garden Inn. Once again, congratulations Emily! • • • And what about the groundhog? Well, there were contradicting predictions - Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam is calling for an early spring while Ontario’s Wiarton Willie expects six more weeks of winter. According to tradition, if the groundhog doesn’t see its shadow when it emerges from its burrow on Groundhog Day, an early spring is in store. But, in reality, did we really expect spring? It’s been an excellent winter so there aren’t too many complaints around. It’s already mid-February so we’ve almost clinched it for another year. • • • The entry deadline for Deloraine Border Festival has come and gone. The entry numbers are very good once again, so you can expect a full schedule in April. An exciting addition this year is Instrumental including a good number of guitar and violin entries; recorder, Oorf and band. If all goes well, it is hoped the program will be on-line in early March. There’s a great deal of work to be done to get to that point, however, that is the goal. So continue to check out the website at www.deloraineborderfestival.net • • • It’s that time of year again for 4-H Communication Nights. Deloraine 4-H Club’s Communication Night is being held Monday, February 15 at Deloraine School. Dand Communication Night is Sunday, February 21 and the Club Zones are being held in Deloraine on Thursday, February 25. If you have the chance to attend any of these events, I encourage you to do so. Every year I am so impressed with the topics, content and delivery of the speeches. The lifelong benefits of public speaking are immeasurable. It’s such a great part of 4-H! • • • The 41st Provincial General Election will take place Tuesday, April 19. And there’s a new party Manitoba Party. The candidate for this area is Frank Godon. Frank stopped in the office this week to talk about this new party. He explained the Manitoba Party as being more conservative than the Conservative Party and that it is more or less following the example of the Saskatchewan Party. Manitoba Party’s biggest tax proposal is to reduce the PST to 5%. For more info go to http://www.mbparty.ca • • • Happy Valentine’s Day and Louis Riel Day (Family Day), too!

The Deloraine Royals hosted the Gladstone Lakers on Saturday, February 6, for the final league game of 2015/16. Prior to the puck drop, a brief presentation was made by Joel Whiteside (former Royals’ captain) and Johnny Naturkach on behalf of the Deloraine Royals (pictured left). This presentation was in memory of Lakers captain Blaine Jarvis who was tragically killed in a snowmobile accident recently. Jarvis played with the Deloraine Royals in the Provincial playoffs and the Manitoba Cup in 2014 and was instrumental in them winning. Joel gave a brief tribute and presented a memorial plaque to Lakers assistant captain Lyndon Soper.

by Doug Whiteside, manager A short presentation was held at the beginning of the game in memoriam for Lakers’ captain Blaine Jarvis who tragically lost his life in a snowmobile accident on January 26 in Idaho. Jarvis had been an affiliate player for the Royals and played an integral role in their two Provincial Championship Tournaments over the past two years. Proceeds from the gate admission as well as the 50/50 draw and some additional donations will be going to the fund set up for Blaine’s 4-month-old son, Ryker. A total of $820. was raised and will be donated. The Royals thank all the fans that came out and supported their efforts to assist the Jarvis family at this sad time. Royals take a loss to end regular season - Saturday, February 6. After an opening period that saw one goal scored by the Lakers, the floodgates broke open and 14 goals were registered in the second period. Unfortunately nine of those came from the Lakers while only Deloraine scored five. Brett Morrison registered a hat trick in the period with three goals and one assist and Justin Beernaert and Mitch Olson picked up the other two. Trailing 10-5 going into the final period, Deloraine could not make up the difference with one final tally by Ty Moffat while Gladstone added two of their own to salt away the 12-6 victory. Final score: Gladstone Lakers 12 - Deloraine Royals 6. Scoring summary: 1. Morrison – Moffat; 2. Beernaert - Naturkach – Barnes; 3. Morrison – Beernaert; 4. Morrison K. Sunaert – Vercaigne; 5. Olson - K. Sunaert – Morrison; 6. Moffat - K. Sunaert.

Cougars cling to playoff spot by Grant Moffatt The Cougars suffered their fourth straight loss on the weekend dropping a 3-2 shoot out loss to the Central Plains Capitals on Sunday afternoon.

points, Brandon (39), Southwest (39) and Parkland (38).

Brandon took a two-goal lead when Brenden Kukorudz scored on a bad angle shot at the 14-minute mark. The Cougars got on the board with less than a minute left when Brian Harris hooked up with Grady Hobbs and John Patmore with the man advantage. The third period was scoreless. The Cougars tried to tie the game and almost did after taking the draw to the right of Brady Gordon with 20 seconds left they went down and found the net just as time expired.

Michael Tilbury fired home a loose puck from 20 feet out to give the Cougars the lead with Tanner Gaudry and Blake Jameson picking up the helpers, at the 16-minute mark.

Credit Unions serving southwestern Manitoba sponsor the 2nd Annual Credit Union Family Day BRANDON, MB (February 2016) Twelve Credit Unions serving southwestern Manitoba are once again pleased to announce their joint sponsorship of the 2nd Annual Credit Union Family Day on March 30, 2016, at the upcoming Royal Manitoba Winter Fair (RMWF). “The decision to work with other Credit Unions in our area was easy given our shared vision of serving the membership more effectively by working together,” says Brad Ross, general manager of Minnedosa Credit Union. “This is at the heart of the co-operative movement.” This year, the RMWF takes place from March 28 - April 2, 2016, in Brandon at the Keystone Centre. The RMWF is one of Western Canada’s largest agricultural events where people see show jumping and heavy horse competitions, livestock sales and displays, hands-on agricultural awareness programs, live entertainers, over 300 commercial and agricultural exhibits and more. Year after year, around 110,000 people at-
tend the weeklong RMWF. “The goal of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba is to provide top quality entertainment for the entire family at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. Having the support of the Credit Unions allows us the flexibility to source superior acts for the Fair that appeal to all ages and attract people from across the Westman area and beyond,” says Ron Kristjansson, general manager of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba. Staff representing 12 of the Credit Unions will be stationed in the Main Concourse at the Keystone Centre throughout the entire six day fair, acting as CU Ambassadors for all attendees. For people who attend the Fair on Credit Union Family Day their hands will be stamped with the CU hands & globe logo, they will be greeted by CU Ambassadors at the main entrance, they can attend performances by Toopy & Binoo in the afternoon and/or the fiddler’s contest in the evening, enjoy
special activities taking place at the CU booth in the main concourse and witness significant Credit Union signage throughout the 540,000 square foot venue. If you are in Brandon, MB, March 28 - April 2, please stop by and say, “Hello”! About Credit Unions serving southwestern Manitoba For over 25 years, several Credit Unions serving southwestern Manitoba have collaborated on projects to bring benefit to members and communities throughout the region. These Credit Unions have included any or all of the following: Austin, Amaranth, Beautiful Plains, Catalyst, Crocus, Erickson, Minnedosa, Portage, Strathclair, Sunrise, Vanguard and Westoba.

Maguire urges parliamentarians to get behind project submitted Energy East deserves support Larry Maguire, MP for BrandonSouris, urged his fellow parliamentarians today to support the Conservative Caucus’ motion in the House of Commons to recognize the importance of the energy sector to the Canadian economy and support its development by supporting the Energy East pipeline. The project is backed by the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and New Brunswick and would dramatically cut the amount of oil traveling by rail each day and scale back our dependence on foreign oil. “I am extremely proud of the thou-
sands of Canadians who contribute to our economy through the natural resource sector, particularly right here in Westman. At a time when our economy is struggling, the Liberal government needs to stand up for these Canadians and take a clear position in favour of Energy East,” said Maguire. The Energy East pipeline approval reached a boiling point this week when former Liberal Cabinet minister and current Mayor of Montreal Denis Coderre announced his opposition to the project because it did not provide enough financial benefit to Quebec. The oil and gas sector directly and indirectly employs over 360,000 people in Canada, account-
ing for almost 8% of GDP in 2013, while Energy East alone is expected to generate $10 billion in taxes for all levels of government. Canada ranks third in the world for proven crude oil reserves, and 73,000 existing kilometers of pipeline carry over $100 billion of natural gas, oil and petroleum products safely every year. “From 2008 to 2013, more than 99.99 percent of oil transported by federally regulated pipelines was done so safely, and thanks to the previous Conservative government, companies are liable for up to $1 billion of costs and damages, irrespective of fault. Pipelines are the most environmentally responsible way to

transport our oil, and Energy East will displace the equivalent of over 1,500 rail cars traveling the same route each day,” said Maguire. Approximately 700,000 barrels of oil are imported every day to refineries in Eastern Canada, coming from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Nigeria. The Energy East project would strengthen Canada’s energy security by decreasing our dependence on authoritarian regimes with poor human rights records, rampant corruption and deficient environmental controls. Most of Western Canada’s oil production is exported to the United States, and 97% of our oil exports went there in 2013. Energy East will create access to higher value international markets which will further support the Canadian economy. Maguire concluded, “It makes no sense to import ST.
