Hard work pays off for Jaedon Cooke at Souris School graduation ceremonies by Darci Semeschuk For graduate Jaedon Cooke, the 2016 graduation ceremonies were a dream come true.

Construction in Souris by Glen Kirby New condominiums under construction in the Forrest Avenue subdivision in Souris are expected to be ready for occupancy this fall. “I’ve already had several inquiries from interested buyers,” says Paul Simister, the Alberta-based contractor building the new units. He expects prices will be in the $240,000-$250,000 range. The condos are not your average wood-frame structures. Simister is using special interlocking panels made from Styrofoam sandwiched between magnesium oxide sheathing that is flame-retardant and highly energy-efficient. “The building is pre-engineered to fit together before it leaves the factory, which makes construction faster and more cost-effective”, says Simister. Builders can be trained in days to complete an entire building with fewer workers and tools. MAGpro Building Systems, located in Cochrane, AB, says the structural panels are resistant to water and mold, have an integrated vapour barrier and can even be used for basement walls and floors. Simister’s son is president of MAGpro. Although the panels were manufactured outof-province, Simister points out that more than
80% of his $1-million development has been locally sourced, including materials and labour. “I don’t want to look like an outsider who has come into town to fleece people,” says Simister, biting into a muffin at a Souris coffee shop. He says he ended up building here after hearing about lots for sale from a former Souris resident that he met in Alberta. “Land here is cheaper,” he says, adding the oildriven economy has made new home construction much more difficult in Alberta at this particular time. Each 1250 sq. ft. condo will feature two bedrooms and bathrooms including an ensuite and double-car garage. Built on a slab foundation with all rooms on a single level, Simister believes the units are ideal for retirees or the disabled. “I know there’s a market,” he says. “People today are asking for housing with all the features. They want what they want, whereas before, we used to make due with what was available.” Originally from the United Kingdom where he restored heritage buildings, Simister moved to Canada in 2003 and has built homes and other structures throughout the western provinces using the inter-
locking panel system. He also has a house for sale in the Forrest Avenue subdivision, built last year, plus an option to buy two additional lots for more condos. “If I sell two condos, I’d like to move ahead and build more,” he concluded.

Highlighted calls for service in Souris RCMP area were as follows: June 22: Souris Detachment Services Assistant (DSA) received a call from Brandon Sheriff’s office with a report of a stolen vehicle with a suspect and his young child in the vehicle. DSA dispatched Blue Hills members to the vague location in Oakland-Wawanesa, where a suspect was arrested and a family member was brought in to take the child. The vehicle had been reported stolen with the keys in it from Wawanesa the day before. June 22: A new-to-us attempted fraud was reported to Souris RCMP. The complainant reported that someone had hacked into his email account and sent a request for a wire transfer to a financial institution employee. The employee recognized it as a scam and reported to the email owner. The potential victim has had his computer scrubbed, his passwords changed, and has notified all his financial institutions. June 24: a report of a group of youth playing and hanging from the side of the Swinging Bridge was reported. No children were located and no further calls were received. Please remind your children/youth of the dangers surrounding the bridge and any water in general. On the same day, police were notified of a hit and run. There was little damage and the complainant did not wish to pursue charges. The runner was spoken to and advised of the seriousness of leaving the scene. June 26: a Break and Enter to a family farm was reported from the RM of Grassland; Nothing stolen and no video. This file remains unsolved. Friday FYI: Cst. Michael Acquisto has been with the Souris Det. for over four years. In that time, he has become a friend and supporter to many. Cst. Acquisto is moving on up…waaaaaay up north. If you see him on the street before he leaves, shake his hand and tell him how much we’ve appreciated his presence in our community. All the best to him and his family!

Countdown to Souris Fair and Parade by Glen Kirby Lazer tag will be a new addition to this year’s annual Souris Fair and Rodeo, being held next Saturday and Sunday, July 9 and 10, at the Fairgrounds. “We have hired a company out of Brandon,” says Donna McKay, Souris & Glenwood Ag Society president . “They will set up blinds around the grounds for kids to hide behind. As many as 10 people can play at one time.” The Fair and Ag Society are long-time fixtures in Souris. Pioneers formed the first local Agricultural Society on May 18, 1881, electing W. H. “Squire” Sowden as president. The very next week, members drafted a petition to have a bridge built across the Souris River and a post office established in the new town-site. Today’s Ag Society remains a community builder. More than 600 people attended last year’s Fair and Rodeo. Revenues are used to keep an important local asset groomed and viable. “The money raised from this event pays for the up-keep of the Fairgrounds, cutting grass and maintaining the buildings, bleachers and hydro,” says McKay. The Souris Parade will kickoff events Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Parade Marshall Darren Janz is hoping to re-capture last year’s enthusiasm and partici-
You can provide one such review each week and each entry will be entered into a prize draw. Many of the reviews will be posted (anonymously) on the WMRL Facebook page, so even if you can’t or don’t want to submit a review, you can still read them there and perhaps find something that peaks your interest. Just to get things started, here are a couple of the books I’ve read lately. The Afterlife of Birds, by Elizabeth Philips, is the story of Henry Jett, a solitary young man who works in a garage (though he doesn’t particularly care for cars) and spends most of his spare time assembling bird skeletons. His primary social contact is his brother Dan, himself obsessed with running. When Dan’s obsession takes him to parts unknown, ostensibly for ‘training’, Henry is left to fend for himself, becoming more involved with his mother, his mother’s former employee Marcie, and a Russian émi-

pation when the parade featured upwards of 100 entries. “I haven’t been as aggressive this time around in approaching local businesses,” says Janz, who took over organizing duties in 2015 after the parade was cancelled in 2014 for lack of participation. “I’ve just been telling people to show up.” Parade entries will marshal in the Victoria Park bowl prior to rolling through town and finish at the Fairgrounds (see Parade Route Map in this Plaindealer). Other events at the Fair and Rodeo include a slo-pitch tournament, barrel racing, rodeo, beer garden with music DJ, roast beef supper and children’s entertainment. The Manitoba Gymkhana Rodeo Association (MGRA) event traditionally held during the fair has been re-scheduled to August 21 and expanded to celebrate the MGRA’s 55th anniversary.
gré with a wealth of stories to share. A story about a reclusive man effectively being drawn from his solitude, the novel is lightweight but a nice enough read for a summer day. I had problems with Hitman Anders and the Meaning of it All, by Jonas Jonasson. I had enjoyed his first – The 100-Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. His second (The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden ) I didn’t even bother to finish. I did finish Hitman, but was not impressed. Instead of being ‘madcap’ or ‘hilarious’ – terms that have been used to describe it – I found the book contrived and the humour farcical. Especially in the beginning chapters, it was all too ‘precious’ – with the author trying so hard to show us how clever he is, in a “nudge-nudge, wink-wink. See that? Aren’t I clever?” sort of way. If you have not read either of his previous works, this book might be enjoyable for you, but I

This Fair and Rodeo will be McKay’s swan-song event with the Ag Society. She has informed the Board that she is stepping aside as president after serving more than 15 years on the executive. “It’s time for fresh blood,” says McKay. “We need young people with new ideas to step in. Look what Darren did last year with the parade. That was just awesome!” Volunteers are still needed to help stage this year’s Fair and McKay is busy recruiting approximately 65 people to handle various roles. “We’ll be starting Wednesday or Thursday night with setup,” she says. “You don’t need any special skills. We just need the help.” All volunteers receive a free dinner. To help out, contact McKay at 204-761-7452 or through the Facebook group Souris Manitoba Talks.
found it formulaic, the author apparently deciding that since this worked before, he’d do it yet again. The storyline centres on three characters: Pers Persson (more commonly referred to as ‘the receptionist’) – a morally flexible young man who comes under the spell of Johanna Kjellander, a defrocked, atheist Protestant vicar; and the ‘Hitman’ - Johan Andersson, whom they both use to their own advantage, effectively hiring him out as a freelance enforcer. Things go awry when the Hitman ‘finds God’, albeit in his own rather muddled way, and the group flees Stockholm, absconding with the payments received from the gangsters who have hired them. Pursuit ensues, and the whole thing becomes something of a Keystone Kops type of tale. I found the whole thing totally unbelievable and silly. Sometimes an author’s earlier works really are their better ones. This, I fear, is one of those times. The Souris Plaindealer does not guarantee publication of any articles or pictures submitted.

Letter to the editor “A Vanishing Species” written & submitted by Ed Arndt-Virden Whenever we hear or speak of the term, “A Vanishing Species”, we are inclined to confine our thinking to that of a vanishing plant or animal species. There are several other vanishing specie of the “Homo Sapiens” variety…..World War II Veterans and Permit Teachers….and the two are connected much more closely than most people expect. Although the history of permit teachers dates back prior to the 1940’s it was during the war years of 1939-1945 that the move to employ permit teachers was accelerated as replacements for regular teachers because many qualified teachers enlisted in the military or had taken military assignments. According to Margaret (Szwaluk) Lesperance who taught at Keyes Union School, “It was the patriotic and popular thing to do.” Cathy (Madill) Orchard taught at Excelsior School from 1945-46. “It seems strange to thank the war for anything, but I can say that if it hadn’t happened the way it did, I might not have experienced teaching and the enjoyment I have had
during my years in the classroom.” Anne Yanchyshyn, another permit teacher of this era is quoted as saying,” Simply put, they are the teachers (mainly teenagers) who kept our schools open during World War II to aid Canada’s war effort. Without the Permit Teachers, many schools would have had to close.” Many of the Permit Teachers had completed their Grade 11 or Grade 12 and some were fortunate enough to enroll in a six week “quickie” Teacher Training Course to prepare them for the “adventure ahead”. Others went directly from being a student in the previous year to becoming a teacher the following year. One aspiring young teacher expressed his experience this way, “I was working on the CN Railroad as a section hand pounding spikes one day and several days later I was pushing chalk at a one room rural school called Tartakiw, located northwest of Gilbert Plains.” The experiences these novice teachers endured varied as did their number, some estimated as high as 250 during the peak war years. There is however a com-
Storm ravages southwest Manitoba
mon thread of shared experiences shared by these young aspirants to the teaching profession. Irene (Arnal) Kuhl shared this experience, “At seventeen and a half, I began my teaching career in a one room rural school in the Glenboro district. I had 16 students from Grades one to nine. This was quite a challenge but very enjoyable. I had come from a home that had electricity and running water, so the lack of these in my school presented a challenge. I was faced with the challenge of learning how to light gas lanterns, coal oil lamps and fetching water from a well.” Other challenges and new experiences faced by these teachers would fill volumes and could hardly be related in an article such as this. Some of the common themes included homesickness, being overwhelmed trying to teach 8 or 9 grades in a classroom, disciplining students, some not much younger than the teacher, getting to school, enduring cold classrooms… malfunctioning or temperamental stoves…..remember the “Waterman Waterbury Stoves? Of course teachers also had to prepare a Christmas concert that rivalled other schools nearby and also make sure the students kept up the requirement for sports excellence at the local Field Days! Sometimes the living quarters known as teacherages left much to be desired….no indoor plumbing, poor construction, etc. Another event during the school year was the dreaded visit(s) by the school inspector who always seemed to manage to show up at the most inopportune times!!!!!
Many were kind, understanding educators but there were some who could almost be described as tyrannical. One teacher recalls his days as a student in northwestern Manitoba seeing his teacher sitting at her desk sobbing after a visit from one of these latter type inspectors. Despite many of the difficulties faced by Permit Teachers in their initial year of teaching, they were not dissuaded from continuing on to “Normal School/Teachers College” to become qualified teachers and have left a legacy of quality education delivered to hundreds of Manitoba students. To commemorate the contribution of Permit Teachers, Dr. Louisa Loeb, a retired University of Brandon professor who once taught on permit initiated in 2005 a Permit Teachers Reunion, solicited articles about Permit Teachers’ experiences and compiled them into a book called, “Manitoba Permit Teachers of World War II” These Permit Teachers’ Reunions have continued on an annual basis since the initial one and this year Permit Teachers are gathering for their Dr. Louisa Loeb 12th Annual Permit Teachers of Manitoba Reunion on July 14 at the Viscount Gort Hotel, 1670 Portage Ave., Winnipeg. All former Permit Teachers and former students of Permit Teachers are invited to attend, hence the theme, “Students and Teacher Together Again” For more information on this reunion, please contact the Registrar, Edith Alexiuk at 37 Weaver Bay, Winnipeg, MB.

On Wednesday, June 22 (our last cribbage evening until September), players utilized five tables. Betty Devins and Joan Phillips attained the highest score. Marnie Heath, with Pearl Marshall, took second prize, and Mona Canning with Les Morris finished in third place. Dianne Murdoch celebrated her birthday by winning the 50-50 draw. Our last bingo evening until September was on Thursday, June 23, and 21 hopeful noisemakers were in attendance. Most of the noise came from Barb Gordon as she shouted three times and won the Little House, which amounted to $35. Double yells came from Roberta Dodd, Marge
Rose, Lil Atchison and Betty Devins. Our meat draw on Friday, June 24, was fairly well-attended, however Lady Luck was not favouring many people. In fact, the only person to collect two packages of meat was Lana Williams (daughter of Agnes Downs). Linda Dereniwski owned the lucky ticket on the 50-50 draw and got $92.50. Mike Belbas was given the opportunity to take home $723 by finding the Ace of Spades. Now, he tried this two weeks ago with no luck, and, unfortunately, was unsuccessful the second time. It will again be up for grabs on Saturday, July 2. The meat draw will start at 5:00 p.m. Supper this evening was ham, scalloped potatoes, salad and dessert. We are planning a fun golf day on Saturday, August 27. It will be a Par 3 event with a BBQ at the clubroom after all the swinging is done. More details will be available later. HAPPY HOUR – 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. - every Saturday in July and August. Please come and relax with us.

Crown Jewels in Souris It isn’t every community that gets to say they’ve seen the Crown Jewels but in Souris, we can! While these Crown Jewels weren’t all diamonds and emeralds, they were indeed precious gems. They are part of a national non-profit organization founded in 2009 whose goal is to socialize with other women from across Canada, sharing ideas, activities and support.

The Times Local Holland team to help break world record An antique threshing machine belonging to Theresa and Terry Early of Holland, MB will participate in the world’s largest pioneer harvest this summer. The Earlys have volunteered their McCormick Deering to help break the record. They have used the threshing machine each harvest since buying it three years ago. • • • Carnduff Gazette Post-News Bark Park grand opening Dogs of all shapes and sizes dragged their humans to the grand opening of Carnduff’s newest attraction, the Bark Park on June 11. Refreshments were available along with peanut butter cupcakes for the dogs. One human may have mistaken the cupcake as a human treat, the dogs were happy to share. • • • Crossroads This week 40 years with transplanted kidney Adrien Perras is testament to the fact that a kidney transplant can change a person’s life. On May 26, Perras celebrated the 40-year anniversary of his kidney transplant. He was diagnosed with kidney failure at the age of 20. A few months later he had a transplant. His secrete to staying healthy is exercising and reducing then amount of junk food he consumes. He also goes to the gym three times a week, along with cross-country skiing, curling, kayaking, hiking, skating, rock climbing, ice climbing and biking as much as possible. Only one percent of kidney transplants have been found over
the last 40 years or more – the average lifespan of a transplanted kidney is 25 years. • • • The Gazette DeKezel small but strong Eight years ago Jennifer DeKezel started the Pro Action Cops & Kids-sponsored “Girlz will be Girlz” mentoring program. DeKezel is a 54 Division Community Response Unit Officer in Scarborough and she was honoured for her dedication and leadership with a special Recognition award at the 24th annual Association of Black Law Enforcers (ABLE). Last year, DeKezel used her personal financial resources and time to accompany one of the program participants to Florida to meet her father for the first time. “When she expressed her desire to meet her dad, I could relate to her because I was
adopted and I never met one of my parents until I was 18 years old,” said DeKezel. • • • The Western Canadian “Mikey D’s BBQ” Ready to Roll Mike and Lori Dymond debuted their new mobile culinary venture at the Devon Kochka Memorial Baseball Tournament held in Manitou. “Mikey D’s BBQ” was conceived this past winter and began with a custom trailer ordered from Greg McLean of Kaldeck Truck & Trailers. Mike then began outfitting it with the necessary equipment to cook and sell food from. It is now a fully registered commercial kitchen on wheels. Along with the standard fast food fare, Mike D’s is also offering catering services for private parties, weddings and other special agents.
