Souris Westoba Chili Day

This year the Souris Branch of Westoba Credit Union decided to donate the proceeds from their Chili Day to the Alberta Wildfire Fund. These funds go to the families of Fort McMurray who lost their homes to the wild fires. The staff would like to thank J & S Meats who donated all of the meat for the chili and all the citizens of Souris and area who came out to support this worthwhile cause. Between the chili lunch, tickets on the door prize and generous donations, we will be able to send $700. PHOTOS/SUBMITTED

A ‘sign’ of Government efficiency?

by Glen Kirby A Carroll-area resident is refusing an order by the Manitoba Government to remove a welcome sign which has stood on his property since 1974. “It’s a make-work project for someone,” says Grant Moffatt, who received a registered letter in May advising that his small sign at Highway 2 and the Carroll turnoff violates provincial legislation. The Government contends the sign is too close to Highway 2 and constitutes a hazard. Moffatt was told to remove the “illegal advertising sign” by June 10 or the Government would take it down and charge him $600 to reclaim it. “In this section of Provincial Highway you have erected one (1) illegal advertising sign within the right-of-way of PTH 2,” states the letter from Highway Regional Operations, South Western Region. “Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation does not allow private advertising signs and/or structures within the right-of-way of the Provincial Highway System.” Attached to the letter, misspell-

ing Moffatt’s name, was a copy of The Highways Protection Act, a document governing signs and structures along roadways with the objective of protecting the public. “It only took 25 years for the Department to bring this to our attention,” says Moffatt, pointing out The Highways Protection Act became law in 1991. “Apparently, it was not an issue for all those years.” Moffatt says the land has been owned by his family since 1913 and a sign acknowledging their family farm was installed after his father sold five acres of land to the Province to allow for improvements to Highway 2. “This quarter was fenced and a sign for Echo Grove Farms was erected in 1974 about three feet inside our property line,” recalls Moffatt. “When the signs became worn out, new signs were erected. The last sign was erected four years ago. No one has ever complained that the sign is a danger.” The Highways Protection Act stipulates sign-free buffer zones of at least 38.1 metres adjacent to

Provincial Trunk Highways. Moffatt says the disputed sign is about two metres too close and he has the option of applying for a $50 permit and relocating two strides north. Despite negotiating an extension until July 11, Moffatt has no intentions of removing the sign and has updated it to read: After 44 years, MB Highways would like this sign removed! “I’m going to let it play out,” says Moffatt. “If they want to take it down, they can take it down.” In an email response to the Plaindealer, the Provincial Government did not clarify why it is taking action now but noted this is a normal part of enforcing the Highways and Transportation Act. “If there is no permit the owner is sent a letter asking them to remove the item. This has been our process for several years and (we) are continually trying to improve this enforcement for the safety of on road and off road users.” “I can only hope that, once my illegal sign is removed, they spend their time and resources fixing the highway,” says Moffatt.

Action not rhetoric needed for Manitoba water management infrastructure

by Jim Collinson Jim Collinson is a consultant on complex issues involving environment, economy and energy. A native of Souris, he now lives in Kanata. Deferral of essential water management infrastructure and management in recent years, combined with serious problems of climate change, is frustrating Manitoba’s economic growth and environmental health. Both objectives resonate with the public. Rhetoric about “fixing Lake Manitoba’s water levels”, and cleaning up Lake Winnipeg in terms of algae, sedimentation and erosion, highlights the problems but doesn’t solve them. Shifting water level and flow problems from urban areas to farmers, ranchers and cottage owners by using the Portage Diversion on an annual basis, without addressing the outflow capacity from Lake Manitoba, shows disrespect for rural Manitobans and government responsibility to alleviate the situation. Although nothing has been done to solve Lake Manitoba problems over the past 50 years, it has always been assumed that increasing the flow capacity of existing rivers to the northeast would be the solution. Much attention has been given to enlarging the capacity of the Dauphin River, or another channel in that area to carry excess water from Lake Manitoba to Lake Winnipeg. There are three serious problems with this narrow approach. First, it is the most expensive route to take. Second, high water volumes using that route will be carrying considerable silt and nutrients that will further overload Lake Winnipeg with nutrients it doesn’t need. Third, there are four First Nation communities along the proposed route (about 6,000 people) who have already

suffered from excess flows in recent years. Ultimately, this route lowers the chance of effectively removing nutrients and sediment that encourages blue-green algae growth and warmer water in Lake Winnipeg. There is an alternative that is cheaper and cleaner: a system to pump water from Lake Winnipegosis to Cedar Lake. Clear Lake Winnipegosis water will be diverted to Cedar Lake, removing much of the flow normally entering Lake Manitoba from Lake Winnipegosis via the Waterhen. This would allow the extra water diverted from the Assiniboine to remain within the banks of the existing river(s) from Fairford down to Lake Winnipeg. The additional water entering Cedar Lake will offset the drop in flow of the Saskatchewan River in recent years (due to upstream irrigation and climate change), thereby restoring flows at the Grand Rapids Generating Station. It should be noted that Manitoba Hydro argued against this option, saying they didn’t need the flow… but it really appeared to be an excuse to justify hydro developments along the Nelson… cost effectiveness be damned! The Lake Winnipeg blue-green algae problem flourishes because of excess phosphorus. Much of this comes from the Red River, in part from sewage from Winnipeg, and in part due to the damage done in recent years on the nutrient absorption capacity of Netley Marsh. The mess in the Netley Marsh is the result of developments approved by the previous government in recent years, despite that they are contrary to any acceptable form of wetland management. A sewage treatment plant for Winnipeg has been delayed by lack of funding, Negotiations with the Federal Government for these

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers appear 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numberic clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

infrastructure projects could break the logjam and begin the path to take Lake Winnipeg off “death watch”. The new Federal Government is anxious to allocate infrastructure money to projects that are “shovel ready”. The projects identified here fit that category in the short term. Although a recent study found that Manitoba Hydro regulation of Lake Winnipeg has not affected erosion and water quality, there is good reason for a review by a credible and objective authority to satisfy everyone this is actually the case. In large measure, southwest Manitoba’s flooding problems in recent years were significantly exacerbated by massive but unrecorded (and unlicenced) on-farm drainage in Saskatchewan. The consequence of this was unprecedented sheets of water pouring into Manitoba in volumes exceeding capability beyond drain and storage designs based on natural runoff. Now that both Manitoba and Saskatchewan have governments of similar policy views, it may be possible for them to work together to solve some of these problems. Selinger seemed to isolate himself from cooperative initiatives with Saskatchewan and other adjacent jurisdictions, even though this drainage issue is well known. Now is the time to open a positive conversation with Saskatchewan to address this concern. In addition, it is important to determine whether Saskatchewan has a joint interest in the continued operation of the Port of Churchill. If such interest exists, an entirely new assessment of rail line viability from The Pas to Churchill will be needed. A shift from rhetoric to action is long overdue.

‘Braden’s House’ going to Gladstone by Glen Kirby A house built as a fundraiser for paralyzed Elgin hockey player Braden Pettinger has been sold to buyers in Gladstone. “The lawyers are working on the deal,” said Braden’s uncle Rob Pettinger earlier this week. “We expect the house will be moved within a month.” Pettinger and his son Tyson, both contractors, took a lead role in the Braden’s House fundraiser following the accident last November that fractured Braden Pettinger’s C5 vertebrae. While playing for the Portage Terriers, 20-year-old Braden jostled with an opposing player and fell awkwardly into the boards. Surgeons in Winnipeg repaired the broken disc but he was paralyzed from the neck down. In the weeks following the accident, a Go Fund Me page set up by the Manitoba Junior Hockey League surpassed $150,000. A Boxing Day Social in Souris raised an additional $90,000. A community

fundraiser held in Elgin in early March contributed another $38,000 to assist in Braden’s recovery. In May, the Pettingers finished building a 1,250 square foot house and listed the bungalow for sale on Kijiji and through Facebook with an asking price of $107,500. Pettinger says a number of people expressed interest including the buyers from Gladstone. “They came to see the house,” he says. “They had found it on Kijiji. They didn’t even know it was a fundraiser.” Pettinger won’t reveal the selling price, nor how much money has been raised after expenses. But he is quick to thank those in the community who contributed to the construction. “Our suppliers have certainly been very generous in keeping our costs down,” he says. “Thank you to all those who helped. Thank you to the suppliers.”

Having some help is like having a new friend. There’s still time for spring cleaning, just let us know! SOS also hooks up the Victoria Lifeline Service which will get you help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with just the push of a button.

And are all getting annoyed but the only way to not get involved is to just hang up. ERIK Kits: Please drop by the office and pick one up or we will deliver one to you. These are important information papers you can fill out and keep on your fridge in a plastic holder and magnets included in your ERIK (which stands for Emergency Response Information Kit).

For more detailed information please call the office or drop by to see us.

Pettinger says the house project was also important in giving him and his son an opportunity to help. “The house was as much for us, so we felt like we could do something.” Attention is now focussed on getting another house ready - Braden’s family home in Elgin. Modifications have been made to the two storey farmhouse, including an elevator, in preparation for his return. After spending seven months hospitalized in Winnipeg, Pettinger says Braden is getting ready to be discharged although he will continue his rehabilitation at another facility. Some feeling and mobility have returned to his arms since the accident. “Mentally, he’s doing very well,” says Rob. “He may have his dark times at night when nobody is around but his attitude is strong. He works hard, everyday.”

Recreation Round-Up

Page of Sadler’s Creekside Greenhouse led the workshop so everyone had some guidance and few tips and tricks! The Recreation Department would like to thank the wonderful staff at Sadler’s for putting on the workshop and doing such a wonderful job conducting it. This Saturday, Souris & Glenwood Pool is offering something new. On June 18, from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. tethered swimming will be available to try at the pool. What is tethered swimming? Well, it is very similar to normal swimming but you are attached to the side of

the pool by a device similar to a bungee cord. Tethered swimming has numerous benefits; it allows for someone to enjoy a swim while taking up minimal space in the pool, it allows people will limited physical mobility to get some exercise and get in the water, or it can function as a simple alternative workout. If you have any questions about our previous programs, or are interested in any of the new ones coming up, feel free to give us a call at 204-483-5214 or send us an email at souris. camprunamuck@gmail.com.

In Memoriam

Obituaries

OBITUARY EDMUNDS It is with great sadness that the family of Thomas “Tom” Edward Edmunds announces his passing at the age of 74, on the evening of May 29, 2016, at the Souris Health Centre. Tom was born on October 9, 1941, in Souris, the eldest son of Tom and Hattie (Pearce) Edmunds. He was raised on the family farm, northwest of town, with his six siblings. As a boy, Tom developed a love of baseball, hunting and fishing, which he maintained his whole life. He attended school in Souris, and once he completed Grade 11, he dedicated his professional life to working full-time on the family farm. In 1970, Tom married the love of his life, Margaret Livingston. Together, they raised three children - Keith, David and Megan. Through the years, Tom enjoyed competitive curling, attending minor hockey games in the region and beyond, as well as camping with family and friends. A natural-born farmer, Tom worked until he and Margaret moved to Souris in the fall of 2005, at which time he began to ease into retirement. Tom was predeceased by his parents, infant brother David, sister Gwen (Setter), brothers-in-law Terry Binions and Jack Dufily and Doug Livingston.

Obituaries

OBITUARY McDougall It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our wonderful mother Donna Jean Maxine McDougall (McKenzie). Mom was born on a farm south of Margaret, MB on May 1, 1930 to Nina Maxwell McKenzie. She grew up on the farm at Nesbitt, MB, spending many happy hours with her cousins by the dozens, attending Bertha School then high school at Minto while living with her Aunt Alice McKinnon and special cousins. After completing high school, Donna attended Business School in Brandon and worked at the McLeods store. Mom married our dad Stewart McDougall on December 9, 1950. They farmed in the Forrest area before moving to the farm at Carroll which continues to be farmed by family. Eight children were born from this union. Surviving Donna are Del (Joyce) and Garry McDougall of Nesbitt, MB, Linda McDougall of Edmonton, AB, Gaye (Brad) Guy of Westlock, AB, Anne (Bob) King and Heather (Mel) Morrison of Red Deer, AB. Donna is also survived by her cherished grandchildren Jenn (Kevin Cullen), Patti (Ken McEvoy), Kyle (Holly) McDougall, Brian Patterson (Doug), Brad Patterson, Amanda Patterson (Mike), Stewart (Aimee) Guy, Janice (Chris) Guy, Randy Rempel, Keith (Michelle) Rempel, Kevin (Tasha) Rempel, Krystal King (Taylor) and Michael Morrison. Grandma s great-grandchildren Avery and Brynn Cullen, Lauren, Logan and Jack McEvoy, Kallan and Karter McDougall, Brooklyn, Mason and Keegan Guy and Marley Rempel. Each new generation of children brought Grandma so much joy to her heart. Donna was predeceased by her husband Stewart in 1975, daughter Wendy in 2013 and son Larry in 2015. As per Mom s wishes a private family graveside service will be held at the Carroll Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Souris Hospital Palliative Care Fund, c/o Prairie Mountain Health, Box 10, Souris, MB R0K 2C0. Expression of sympathy may be made at www.kowalchuks.net

“You will always be our sunshine.” Our family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff at V.P.L. for making Mom feel so welcome and part of their family. To Mom s Home Care “team” a mere thank you is not enough. You provided our family with peace of mind. To all the staff at the hospital, thanks for the wonderful care that you provided for our mother. Lastly to Dr. Cram thank you for making our Mom feel safe and allowing her to complete her journey with dignity.

If you enjoy reading biographies, if you are interested in history, if you like sports stories - I have the book for you! Yes, one book: ‘For The Glory’, by Duncan Hamilton. I don’t watch many movies but there are some I have enjoyed. ‘Chariots of Fire’ is one such. I enjoyed it when it was first released and have watched it in numerous reruns ever since. It tells the story of two British runners as they approach the 1924 Olympics. ‘For The Glory’ is the story of one of these, Eric Liddell. Born in China in 1902 to missionary parents, Liddell gained fame through his Olympic triumph, but more, he earned widespread admiration for the strength of his convictions. Entered in the 100 metre dash, he refused to participate in the early heats as these were run on a Sunday, and his faith decreed Sunday to be a day of rest and reflection. As he was the main hope for British glory in the Olympics, and as his refusal to run on Sunday disqualified him from the race, this stance put him at odds with the British hierarchy and, indeed,

public. He held firm in his refusal however, and was reviled by a disappointed public. He was subsequently lauded as a hero, however, when he entered and won the 400 metre race - a distance he had rarely run and in which he was not expected to be competitive. As he had said he would, he retired from competitive sports immediately afterward, became a missionary, and returned to China, there to die in 1945 at the young age of 43. The movie ends with a few brief type-written lines displayed across the screen: “Eric Liddell, Missionary, died in occupied China at the end of World War II. All of Scotland mourned.” Those few lines sent me to the computer, at the time, to learn more of the man. I did but not much. This book tells the whole story and it is amazing. Not a sports fan? Not to worry. Only the first third of the book is concerned with Liddell’s quest for Olympic gold, and even that is more about the man than the sport. The remaining two thirds of the book focus on his post-racing life, primarily spent conducting missionary work in war-ravaged China. I learned much here I did not know about Chinese history. I knew of the Boxer Rebellion, of course, and the opium wars. But I

had not realised how the Chinese were effectively betrayed by the Treaty of Versailles, how this led to continued Japanese occupation and from there to ever-increasing territorial seizure and aggression, and how the final declaration of WWII affected the remaining missionary community. In ways it is a shocking story of almost wilful ignorance on the part of the London Missionary Society - which refused to recognize the danger nor remove its people to safety. It is also the story of Liddell’s almost too-goodto-be-true behaviour during this time. The book kept me interested from start to finish. It is not a sports story about an Olympic hero - although it is. It is not a history of China prior to and during WWII - although it is. Mostly it is the story of a very special man. An athlete for whom athletic glory was of relatively minor importance. In stark contrast to the pampered stars of today, Liddell did not use the fame he won through his Olympic victory for personal gain, but instead dedicated it and himself to the service of others. His entire life, not just his racing years, was lived truly “For The Glory” - the glory not of himself but of his God and his fellow man.

by Marvin Mills With Dryness Alleviated, Attention Turns to Quality The early part of this growing season on the Prairies carried a lot of concern about dryness through a large portion of Saskatchewan, Alberta and parts of Manitoba. However, widespread rain over the past two weeks has done much to alleviate the flashbacks of last year, when the moisture situation was dire going into July. In fact, parts of western Canada may have too much moisture. If areas are drowned out or heavily stressed, we could face some threats to yields. A more likely scenario is one where yields are generally good, but quality becomes an issue. Harvest weather will be the biggest determinant, but there are already growing concerns about the effects of moisture stress and the inability to spray for pests and disease. While it’s too early to assume that this year’s harvest quality will be compromised, producers that plan ahead for this potential scenario will be better positioned than those that simply react after the fact. Here are some things to keep in mind should

this be the case this year. First, be fully aware of the quality specifications on any harvest delivery contracts that you have, and the consequences of not meeting the contracted grade. Are specific discounts built into the contract? How are discounts determined? For any additional sales made in the coming months it might make sense to consider locking in a lower delivery grade if premiums are paid for delivering a higher quality, which reduces some risk to the grower. Second, look at expanding the list of buyers you normally deal with. Depending on the crop and how widespread the problems are, the bulk handing system can’t always handle lower grades efficiently. This results in wider discounts and lower prices to growers. There may be companies, often processors, which are able to offer better values for off-grades. In some cases their specific needs don’t align with the official grading specifications, and instead are interested in individual quality attributes. This can result in better prices being paid for

a crop that is officially a lower grade. Third, consider using a cash grain broker. Cash grain brokers can add a lot of value in finding the best home for your grain at any time, but this can particularly be true when quality is variable. Brokers deal with a wide range of end users and buyers, and understand what each one needs. This includes companies that may be outside of your geographic area, or that you otherwise might not think of contacting. A lot of value can be added for both parties by matching specific farm samples with individual end user needs. Finally, one can’t overstate the importance of good and representative grain sampling. If you want a buyer to work with you, they need to know exactly what you have. This also gives you the ability to shop your grain around extensively, which is particularly important in years when quality may be variable. There are few things as disappointing for both the buyer and the seller as having a load that ends up getting rejected because the quality of what was delivered is different than what was represented by the sample. It is still early in the growing season, and much can happen that will affect both yields and quality. Growers that anticipate and plan for different scenarios will be in a better position to respond to whatever outcome the harvest delivers than those who simply sit back and react after the fact.
