Drier dirt for bull riders

Saturday was a mud bath for Heartland Rodeo participants and their animals but the ground had dried up just a bit for Sunday bull riding.

Fair weekend successful despite rain

by Glen Kirby Rain battered but did not stop the Souris Fair and Rodeo last weekend, although attendance was down slightly from 2015. “Last year, it was too hot. This year, it was too wet,” laughs Donna McKay, president of the Souris & Glenwood Ag Society. “Wet and muddy. Very muddy!” McKay estimates that 550 people went through the gates last Saturday and Sunday, down about 10% from the previous year. Despite a drop in gate revenues, McKay expects the 132nd annual Fair to turn a small profit. “All the bills are paid and I think we should make money,” she says. Fair weekend kicked off Saturday morning with a parade through the streets of Town, featuring decorated floats, horse-drawn carriages, and antique cars and tractors. Participants were down sharply from last year’s 100.

“We had 25 to 30 entries,” says Souris Glenwood Economic Development Officer Lon Turner, who helped coordinate the participants on parade day. “I was surprised. It was a great turnout considering the weather.” Parade watchers found creative ways to stay dry, included rainwear, umbrellas or simply staying inside cars parked along the route. Colin Bisson and Tawnya Shewfelt didn’t let the rain stop them from bringing young daughter, Sage to her first parade. “I think she liked it,” said Bisson. A few steps away, Colleen Robbins and her granddaughter, Keely, took shelter under an umbrella, until it was time to collect candy thrown from the floats. “Parades are all about kids,” said Robbins, who has been attending the Souris parade for nearly 30 years. “This one is very good for a small town. There’s a little bit of everything, and it brings the

community together.” Rain showers also forced fans and participants at the Fairgrounds to seek shelter several times Saturday but did not stop the rodeo. “It’s amazing we didn’t have any animals or people hurt,” McKay says, considering the muddy, slippery condition. “Those cowboys and cowgirls are tough.” Although local sponsorship was down, McKay says she was extremely pleased with the number of volunteers who helped with the rodeo, beer gardens, children’s entertainment, supper and other events. “We had more than enough volunteers, including people I’ve never seen before.” After 15 years on the executive, McKay is stepping away from the Ag Society which means a new president will organize the 2017 Fair and Rodeo. “I’ve been putting together a manual with timelines and instructions, just so the next person isn’t overwhelmed,” concluded McKay.

Candidates register for By-election in Oakland-Wawanesa

by Glen Kirby The countdown to elect a new reeve in Oakland-Wawanesa is officially underway and it didn’t take long for the first candidate to step forward. Senior Elections Officer Roger Bouvier says a resident filed the necessary paperwork a few days after registration opened on July 5, although he will not identity who that person is. “I expect there will be competition for this position,” says Bouvier. “We’ve had some calls so that says to me there is interest.” Potential candidates must register with the Municipal office before they can begin campaigning. They will also have to file nomination papers during a five-day window

starting August 3 if they intend to let their name stand, accompanied by signatures from at least 15 municipal residents. “We’ll know at 4:00 o’clock on August 9 if we’ll need a By-election,” says Bouvier. Residents in Oakland-Wawanesa will go to the polls on September if a vote is needed. Should only one candidate come forward, that person would be acclaimed reeve. The new reeve will be paid $3,000 per year plus $350 for each monthly Council meeting he or she attends. Other meetings and travel for MFunicipal business are also reimbursed. By comparison, Councillors receive $2,000 per year plus the same compensation for meetings and travel.

“The main job of the Reeve is to consider the well-being of the Municipality as a whole,” says Bouvier, referring to the Municipal Act. “They can vote and move motions just like other Councillors. But it’s important that the head of council provide leadership and get people working together.” Former reeve David (Bunk) Inkster resigned in May after leading council for 25 years, citing family health issues. He narrowly defeated former Wawanesa mayor Bruce Gullett in 2014 to become the head of the newly-amalgamated council representing Wawanesa and the former Rural Municipality of Oakland. As of the 2014 enumeration, Bouvier says there are 1,423 electors in the municipality. The Village of

Wawanesa has 421 and the rest are rural residents. Persons interested in seeking office are encouraged to call or visit the Municipal staff in Nesbitt to complete their registration. Eligible candidates must be a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years of age, a resident of Manitoba who has resided within the municipality or owned property in the municipality for at least six months and has not been disqualified from running under The Municipal Act. Bouvier says candidates are allowed to spend up to $5,000 during their campaign. According to the Municipal Act, any current councillors considering a run at the reeve’s job would have to resign from council first.

Time to test your well water by Glen Kirby People using private wells for drinking water have an opportunity to save money on testing their water for dangerous bacteria. On July 19, the Assiniboine Hills Conservation District (AHCD), in collaboration with local municipalities and the provincial government, is offering free shipping of water samples to a nationally accredited testing lab. “Private wells should be tested each year, especially if there has been a high-water situation,” says Neil Zalluski, AHCD Manager. AHCD spans several municipalities in the southwest corner of Manitoba, with an area of almost 6,000 sq kms and a rural population of more than 14,000. Zalluski has no statistics on the number of wells in the local district but the provincial government says that approximately 15% of all Manitobans rely on private water supplies. Wells can be contaminated by spring run-off

This Weeks News: On Friday, July 8, our meat draw was well attended and Lady Luck was not playing favourites. No one was able to take home more than one package of meat. Joan Harlton held the lucky ticket on the 50-50 draw and received $99. Marion Morris had the opportunity to take home $876.50 by finding the Ace of Spades.

or flood waters; nearby septic fields or livestock areas; and seepage from improperly stored or handled chemicals, pesticides and fuels. Water testing is time-sensitive so it’s important to collect untreated well water the morning that the sample will be shipped. The lab needs to analyze the sample within 24 hours. Rural residents in Oakland-Wawanesa Municipality can pickup water sample bottles beforehand at the municipal offices in either Nesbitt or Wawanesa. Souris-area landowners are encouraged to contact the Manitoba Agriculture and Rural Development office for more information. To take advantage of the free shipping, samples must be dropped off at the appropriate government office at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 19. Water will be tested for coliform and E. coli bacteria, and residents will be charged $21.26 (taxes included) for each sample tested. In the event that bacteria is discovered, Zalluski says

This she was unable to do, so it will be up for grabs again next week. We enjoyed a turkey supper with all the trimmings. We decided to put a float into the Fair Parade on Saturday, July 9, and four women agreed to sit on it and throw candy. Of course, we fully expected it to be a bright, sunny day. As you can see by the picture, it was not really sunny. Even though we thought we were rain proof, we finished the Parade very much on the wet side. Had a lot of fun, though.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

the lab will immediately contact the well owner by telephone. A provincial government fact sheet says “the presence of coliform bacteria indicates there may be an open pathway for contaminants to enter your well, whereas E. coli is a serious indicator that the well is contaminated”. ACHD has been offering free shipping of water samples for several years. Zalluski says approximately 200 samples are submitted each year from the municipalities making up the conservation district, including Souris-Glenwood, Oakland-Wawanesa, Grassland, Cornwallis, Glenboro-South Cypress, Prairie Lakes and Argyle.

We are planning a fun golf day on Saturday, August 27. It will be a Par 3 event with a steak barbecue at the clubroom after all the swinging is done. I understand that the steak supper will cost you $20 and you are responsible for your green fees. Happy Hour, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., every Saturday in July and August. Please come and relax with us. Last Weeks News: As you know, our Clubroom was closed on Friday, July 1, and therefore, our meat draw was on Saturday, July 2. There was a lot of activities in Town this weekend and these, I think, contributed to a smaller attendance. We did have quite a few people that were in Town for the Janz Reunion and two of them did manage to collect a package of meat. Only two people managed to take home two meat packages and they were Eleanor Hayes and Smitty. The 50-50 draw totalled $80 and the winning number belonged to Barb Janz. The “Chase the Ace” pot was $793.50 and Bob Balbar won the chance to put it in his pocket. The Ace of Spades remained elusive and so someone will try again next week.

A (Musical) note of thanks submitted by Alexis MacLean Elgin Museum opened for the season on July 2, featuring a display of musical memories and artifacts. Many of these were donated in response to our request, published here earlier this year. On behalf of the Museum Committee, I would like to thank all of you for contributing to our success. I, for one, have learned a great deal. I learned of the Elgin Girls, the Elgin Community Orchestra, Hec Couture’s orchestra, the Musicmen, the Majestics, Cold Duck, The Bitter End and the Martells, to name a few of the bands. There are tales of dances, of long, late night drives following performances, and close encounters with both farm machinery and the police… In addition to these memories there are various instruments, posters and our centrepiece - an “Amberol”

Elgin Museum, featuring a display of musical memories and artifacts, opened for the season on July 2, Dating back more than a century, the centerpiece is an “Amberol” phonograph dating from 1910-1914, which came with a collection of over 80 cylinders. The machine is in full operating condition and can be enjoyed at Elgin Museum Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and on other days via appointment.

phonograph dating from 19101914, which came with a collection of over 80 cylinders. The machine is in full operating condition and the cylinders provide a wide variety of entertainment, including comedy, popular songs and psalms. There are even a few eyebrow-raising tunes thrown in - for example, “When I Get You Alone Tonight” – with it being fairly obvious what he wants to do then! We hope that many of you will find time during the summer to come to Elgin and visit our Museum. Perhaps it will rekindle some memories of your own - and in case you’d like your memories to be in our display, we have a booklet ready and waiting for your contribution. We are open Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and on other days via appointment.

The unique window was removed last December and painstakingly restored to its original grandeur with the technicians utilizing most of the nearly 500 pieces of stained glass. The signature centre, a sailing ship, is new as the original ship was knocked out by an errant baseball. It looks as good as it did in 1910!

Few local skaters, rink rates rising by Glen Kirby Faced with rising operating costs, needed repairs and dwindling local patronage, Municipal officials are raising rental rates at the SourisGlenwood Memorial Complex for the third straight year. Municipal Councillor Darcy Gerow, a member of the rink’s operating board, says increases of five to six per cent have been approved for this fall. The cost of ice will rise to $105/ hour for local minor hockey and figure skating; $120/hour for the Souris High School, Southwest Cougars, Souris Elks and local adult groups. Non-local renters will pay $150/ hour. “Our rates are still competitive,” says Heiko Zinn, manager of the Souris-Glenwood Memorial Complex. “We can only raise the rates so much before we start losing users.” Zinn says rate increases totalling 19% in the past three seasons have been needed to pay for important infrastructure repairs, including upgrades to the ventilation system and fixing a leaky roof. A bigger concern is the drop in the number of local hockey players and figure skaters. Zinn says the Souris Skating Club, which oversees the local figure skating program, has only requested 1.5 hours of ice per week for 2016-2017.

That’s down from 6.5 hours last season and 10.5 hours in the previous season. “It’s a significant drop,” says Zinn, who is currently negotiating with skate clubs in Brandon to possibly fill the hole left in both the rink’s schedule and revenue. Souris Minor Hockey will continue to use upwards of 25 hours/week of ice time, despite a 10% drop in registered players. Eighty-six players have signed up, compared to 97 last season. “We are concerned with the numbers,” says Glen Tosh, president of Souris Minor Hockey. “Historically, we’ve had 100 to 110 kids for many years.” Tosh hopes a new program being introduced this fall will re-kindle local interest in hockey. Jumpstart provides kids with six ice times and full equipment for $200. Canadian Tire funds the program. “Minnedosa did the same program and had about 40 kids signup,” says Tosh. A month from now, Zinn and his crew will be putting in the ice and preparing the Arena for a new winter season. First on the calendar is a 10day Hockey Skills Camp beginning August 15. Sometime this fall, Zinn will find out whether the complex will receive

Runamuck Roundup by Tara Farmer, Souris Valley Recreation Camp Coordinator Camp Runamuck is up and running! We are already almost halfway through July and our day camps are in full swing. We’ve had plenty of fun so far and can’t wait to tell you all about the things we’ve been doing. On July 4 and 5, we had our first two camps of the summer – Kids in the Kitchen and Art Camp. The always-popular cooking camp was a success once again. The day camp goers whisked and stirred and rolled all morning to create some delicious treats. We enjoyed worms and dirt (made of pudding, of course!), mini pizzas and beach themed cupcakes! In the afternoon, the kids channelled their inner artists and produced some amazing masterpieces using supplies such as rocks and canvasses. We even made peacocks out of dough and seashells! We took the artsy fun to Alexander on July 7 and they proved to be just as creative as Souris bunch. July 11 took us to the Souris School gym for some basketball. Diehard basketball fans came from as far as Melita to show us their skills and learn something new. It was an awesome morning and everyone worked really hard as we practiced the fundamentals of the sport. Each player showed signs of improvement by the Cole Kirkup has joined the Souris Valley Recreation Department and is looking forward to working with kids and gaining some valuable work experience at Camp Runamuck before heading back to school in the fall.

time we left! Of course, it wouldn’t be a camp without plenty of games, and basketball camp did not disappoint. We certainly saw the campers’ competitive sides shine through as they played different basketball oriented games. All in all, it was a great day and we hope that our other sports days turn out just as well. Finally, we are now able to introduce the third member of the Camp Runamuck team! Cole Kirkup has joined us for the summer after finishing his grade eleven year at Athol Murray College of Notre Dame. Cole has been at Notre Dame for the past two academic years, and during his time there he has had the chance to become involved in several areas, including being a house leader in his dorm as well as playing hockey and baseball for the Hounds. At the end of March, Cole and his hockey team won the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League title! When he’s not playing sports, Cole enjoys spending time with friends and family, and working out at the gym. In his first summer with the recreation department, Cole is looking forward to working with kids and gaining some valuable work experience before he heads back to Notre Dame to finish off his senior year. We are so excited to see what Cole brings to the table as we move into more fun filled days of Camp Runamuck!

A major disturbance brought hail and heavy rain across southwestern Manitoba Saturday causing flooding in some areas and crop devastation in others. Reports are that the Manitoba Crop Insurance office in Souris has been inundated with claims.

Car racing stalled again by weather by Glen Kirby Third time was not the charm for local car racing fans as rainy weather last weekend forced yet another postponement of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first event at the raceway east of Souris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The track was way too soft,â&#x20AC;? says Chad Bicklmeier, president of the Prairie Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (PASCAR). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looks like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta wait for the monsoon season to end!â&#x20AC;? Racing was originally scheduled to begin in late May with the Arthur Verhaeghe Memorial Race Day, honouring community volunteer and racer Art Verhaeghe who lost his battle with cancer in 2014. Rain caused postponements in May, June and July, and organizers are now creatively considering how to accommodate a full season of racing with the fair-weather days remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our insurance covers us for six races,â&#x20AC;? says Bicklmeier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try a two-day race in September or October. The weather is usually pretty good and people are back from sum-

mer holidays so it might work OK.â&#x20AC;? PASCAR is a volunteer-based, non-profit group promoting motorsport in the Westman region. Founding partners Bicklmeier and Matt Bootsman signed a five year lease with the Souris-Glenwood Airport Commission in 2012 to re-activate the track built in the 1990s but dormant for more than a decade. The Souris Motor Speedway is one of a small handful of racing tracks in the province with others at Swan River, Winnipeg and Morden. Bicklmeier says good weather helped 2015 be a successful year, with seven racing days and new drivers joining the association, including PASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first female racer. Jay Burton was last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Track Champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had excellent community support,â&#x20AC;? says Bicklmeier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had enough in the bank from last year to cover this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs.â&#x20AC;? Liability insurance is the primary expense. The next scheduled race days are August 7 and 28 at the track adjacent to the Souris-Glenwood Airport.

Softball stars earn silver at Provincials

Congratulations to Taylor Deleau and Kylie Matiowsky of Souris on earning the silver medal at the U16 Girls Provincial Softball Championships in Morden. Taylor and Kylie play on a team out of Brandon called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Brandon Heatâ&#x20AC;?. There were 16 teams competing at Provincials on the July long weekend. The Heat went 3-0 in round robin play with wins over Morden, Southdale Red and Grunthal. On Sunday they beat Bruxelles in the quarter finals and then Southdale Blue from Winnipeg in the semi finals to advance to the finals against Neepawa falling just short of the gold after a perfect run. Taylor and Kylie are seen here with their silver medals. PHOTO/SUBMITTED

Page 9, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, July 15, 2016 by Jonathan Filewich, B.ED (A.D.), NSCA-CSCS, Business Partner Outperforme Athletics Addressing Common Mistakes This week I’ve decided to address some common mistakes often seen in fitness training. Unfortunately, many people with good intentions are completing exercises incorrectly and may even be putting their health at risk by doing so. Think of the phase, “Monkey see, monkey do”. One of the most effective learning and motivation tools is peer modelling. We often watch someone else lift heavy weights or do incredibly high jumps and think to ourselves, if they can do it, so can I. However, if you are not physically and mentally prepared to attempt these exercises, there is great risk for physical injury and/or mental frustration. Here are my top three examples of advanced exercises that I constantly see done before the basic exercises have yet to be mastered: Olympic Lifts – An Olympic lift is when a person lifts the maximum amount they can using a barbell loaded with plates, known as the clean & jerk and the snatch. While attending a National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) conference, the presenter talked about Russian ideologies when it came to Olympic lifting. The Russians, or this Russian coach in particular, believed that Olympic lifts should take six years from the beginner to advanced stage. I don’t know if there is a concrete number, but these intense lifts should be taken very seriously. Olympic lifts need to be taught through different phases while strengthening the entire body as they are a multi-joint, full body, powerful exercise. The most common mistake with Olympic lifts is rushing to add too much weight before your body is strong enough. This often leads to muscle compensation, mainly in the low back region. Deadlifts – A deadlift is lifting a barbell with added resistance on each side from the ground up to your hips. When taught properly, this exercise employs proper upper body posture without arching your low back and core muscle engagement with hip extension. Think of everyday use such as shoveling or lifting something from the ground to hip height. This lift may seem harmless, but everyone wants to go for their personal best. When people attempt to deadlift a weight that is beyond their ability, there is great risk for low back injury. Advanced Plyometrics – Plyometrics is also known as “jump training” and teaches athletes to exert maximum force in the shortest amount of time. You have to be able to control your body movements while battling against gravity. It may be easy to jump up on to the box, but can you absorb the landing properly on the way down through your ankles, knees, and hips? Even

Here & There

at the basic level, plyometric exercises are something that needs to proper training before incorporating it into a program. If not the proper instruction is not in place, you risk injury in the aforementioned joints. I hope I did not scare you away from any of these exercises, I just wanted to address some of the common misconceptions people have when they are working out. All three exercises can have many positive affects when completed properly and with the appropriate amount of weight. When using these exercises, our strength and conditioning coaches follow this checklist to help track your progress: • A solid foundation in muscular endurance/hypertrophy leading to increasing strength & power • Ability to do the exercises through a full range of motion • Maintain control and stability

The Roblin Review Board gives the green light The Board of the Parkway Co-op has given the green light to the construction of a new $9 million food store in Roblin. Construction of the $9 million, 27,000 square foot store – which is almost 50 percent larger than Roblin’s current grocery store – should be underway by early August, if not sooner. The new store will be located at the southern end of the former Terry’s Drive Inn/Burger Time/Dixon’s Fixin’s property. The Russel Banner RCMP receive road rage complaint Police received a complaint from a driver that had experienced a form of “road rage” on Highway 16. The driver was trying to pass a slow vehicle, and when attempting, the slow vehicle sped up, making it very unsafe. This continued four times, and eventually the passing driver made their way around, only to be flashed the finger by the other driver. The driver of the slow vehicle was located and the male from Grandview, MB, faces a charge of “disobeying rules when overtaking a vehicle.”

The Boissevain Recorder 46 years of pulling wrenches over What the future is for the old Gord’s Service Centre building is not known presently, but it will be with new owners for the first time since the 1960s. Blaine Facey pulled the plug on the garage/gas station on June 30. He said he made the decision this spring. The Facey story at the garage on the corner of South Railway and Cherry Street goes back to 1962 when Blaine’s father, Gordon, purchased the building. From this comes the name which has stuck to the building ever since.

The Canadian Crop Hail Association Hail Report - July 7, 2016 Early seeding across most of the Prairies was followed by excellent growing conditions and crop advancement is well ahead of the norm in most areas. Some exceptions exist in areas of Alberta that have experienced excessive or insufficient moisture. The more advanced the crop, the greater the risk of loss from hail damage. In a year of early crop development, this poses a higher risk to farmers and insurers. To date, business written is up from last year at this time and higher than anticipated for this period. July is expected to be the busiest month of the year for potential hail damage. New applications will be accepted throughout the month of July. A policy comes into effect at noon of the day following purchase, so farmers are urged to make timely decisions in order to protect their investments. Damage potential increases significantly as crops advance in development. Manitoba Weather conditions have been much warmer and drier in many regions than they were last year and crops are welladvanced in those areas. Many acres im-

pacted by last year’s excess moisture are recovering, but continuing wet field conditions are still noted across many regions, especially those with higher rainfall this growing season. These conditions have hindered spraying operations, in some cases. On average, crops are advancing well ahead of average across the whole province. Hail started early and has been scattered throughout the province. Storm dates and locations of significance for this period include: June 1: Clearwater area June 16/17: Winkler, Altona, St. Pierre, Carman, Roland, Pilot Mound June 25: Benito, Bowsman, Brandon, Bruxelles, Carman, Fannystelle, Elgin, Elm Creek, Kenville, Miami, Minitonas, Notre Dame Delourdes, Pilot Mound, Somerset, St. Leon, Swan Lake, Swan River, Treherne June 29: Bruxelles, Deloraine, Glenboro, Holland, Nesbitt, Notre Dame Delourdes, Pilot Mound, Somerset, Swan Lake, Treherne, Wadcada, Winkler July 4: Carman, Darlingford, Deloraine, Headingley, Holland, La Riviere, Manitou, Morden, St. Francois Xavier, Somerset, St. Leon, Winkler.

slower progress in the northeast. Overall, crops are in good to excellent condition and are at, or ahead of, normal stages of development. Hail agencies are reporting policies written to be slightly ahead of the five-year average. June 29 and July 3 saw the highest number of claims, to date. Adjusters are busy working on claims received in June. Claims from early July storms are still coming in and the full extent of losses is yet to be determined. Storm dates and locations of significance for this period include: June 25: Kindersley, Eston, Luseland, Herschel, Foam Lake, Glenavon, Kamsack, Stornoway and Canora; June 28: Beechy, Consul, Young, Watrous, Norquay and Yorkton; June 29: Dinsmore, Elrose, Wilkie, Rosetown, Biggar, Landis, Cutknife, Swift Current, Viceroy, Assiniboia, Weyburn, Redvers, Carlyle and Alida; July 1: Aylesbury, Craik, Hanley, Hawarden, Kenaston and Tessier; July 3: Kindersley, Kerrobert, Eston, Elrose, Plenty, Marengo, Fiske, Wiseton, Dinsmore, Delmas, North Battleford, Outlook, Davidson, McLean, Qu’Appelle, Vibank and Balcarres; July 4: Creelman, East End, Swift Current, Kenaston, Mankota, Aylesbury, Watrous and Neudorf.

CBSA Spring 2016 enforcement highlights in Manitoba July 12, 2016, Winnipeg, Manitoba - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is pleased to share a sample of enforcement highlights from its border crossings in southern Manitoba and Winnipeg operations from spring 2016. Since March, CBSA officers in Manitoba seized 36 prohibited weapons and firearms, and made 39 narcotic seizures. Here is a sampling of seizures made this past spring: • On March 30, CBSA officers in Boissevain arrested a 21-year-old Manitoba man for smuggling three undeclared 30-round automatic rifle magazines. The man paid a $500 penalty for the magazines. • On May 4, Emerson officers seized a loaded undeclared 380 semi-automatic handgun from a female traveller en route to Alaska. Officers located the gun in a bag of clothing inside a trailer the woman was towing. The woman paid a $1,000 penalty and was also refused entry for previous criminality, and was returned to the United States (U.S). • Since April, Winnipeg Air Cargo officers have made six significant

seizures of gamma-Butyrolactone, a known precursor drug for manufacturing the date rape drug. The drugs, in liquid form, were seized in separate shipments in quantities of two (1 litre) bottles declared as clear liquid detergent. • Winnipeg commercial officers also made four significant seizures of khat (Catha edulis) this spring, seizing over five kilograms in each shipment. One shipment was declared as an herbal product and the other as containing food and clothing. CBSA officers in Manitoba made multiple arrests and refused entry to foreign nationals for criminality: • In March, a 23-year-old US man was arrested by Emerson officers on suspicion of impaired driving. He was also refused entry for serious criminal convictions in the U.S. related to domestic assault with intent to cause bodily harm, an impaired driving offence and restraining order violations. • In April, Emerson officers refused entry to a 47-year-old North Carolina male commercial driver for previous

Emerson officers also refused entry to a 63-year-old man for serious criminality related to a conviction for second degree child molestation in the United States. • In May, Piney officers arrested a 32-year-old Manitoba man for impaired driving. The man failed the Approved Screening Device test administered by officers, and he was turned over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. • In April, 37-year-old Shawn Toher of Alaska, received a $15,000 fine in Winnipeg Provincial Court for attempting to smuggle multiple firearms at the Emerson Border Crossing in July 2015. Winnipeg Criminal Investigations pursued charges against Toher after Emerson officers located multiple undeclared weapons in his vehicle and trailer, consisting of three handguns, one assault rifle, one non-restricted rifle, and 63 overcapacity firearms magazines.
