One hundred eighteen names ring out at Remembrance Day Services by Darci Semeschuk One hundred eighteen names rang out at the Remembrance Day services in the Souris Community Hall November 11. One hundred eighteen young men, 85 to WWI, and 33 to WWII never made it home, their friends and

family left to mourn them. Who knows what Souris would look like today if those men had made it home again? Many of the names on the list are recognizable even today, Donogh, Fraser, Lovatt, Someresall, Strath. Others are lost to time but

for Rev. Mel Moorman, they are still recognizable, as he’s heard them in services for forty years. Rev. Moorman lead the full house in the 2016 Remembrance Day ceremonies that included the Call to Remembrance as artillery cannons could be heard

outside the hall. Following a memorable speech and prayers, Grant Jackson performed “In Flanders Fields” and the United Church coir lead with several hymns. The Legion members marched out the Colours to God Save the Queen and the parade

marched to the Legion cenotaph where a dozen wreaths were laid in honour of our war veterans. The wreaths included the Federal Government, Provincial Government, Municipality of Souris Glenwood, Canadian Forces Base Shilo, Z Battery,

On Wednesday, November 9, we had a great crowd out to play Cribbage and were pleased to need seventables. Joan Dufily and Lorna Binions finished the evening with the highest score. Deb Robinson with Evelyn Harlton took second place and the third prize went to Darlene Dooley with Judy Burkhart. The

lucky ticket on the 50-50 draw belonged to Lyall Edgerton. Our Bingo evening of Thursday, November 10, was attended by 28 optimistic noisemakers. No one was especially loud but double yells did come from Betty Devins, Marge Rose, Norma Dodd, Lil Atchison, Lee Johnson, and Doris Dron. Darlene Bourgeois shouted only once, but did it on the Little House and got $39 for her efforts. On Friday, November 11, our Remembrance Day Service was attended by a great many people and we would like to

thank everyone who came out and helped us give homage and thanks to all of our fallen comrades and also to our surviving veterans. It is because of them that we have the freedoms we now have. We held our meat draw on Saturday, November 12, and it was a busy late afternoon (we started at 5:00 p.m). Again this week, Lady Luck did not favour anyone and one meat package was all that could be collected by one person. Gladys Skoc held the winning number on the Souris Railway Museum ticket.

Norma Dodd won the 50-50 draw which was worth $150. The pot for “Chase the Ace” amounted to $1,407 this evening and Bill Humberstone tried his hand at putting it in his pocket. This did not happen so someone will get a chance next week. We were pleased to congratulate Marie and Larry Neilson on their 40th wedding anniversary. Many of their family and friends were present for this celebration. After the draws were finished, we were able to enjoy a roast beef dinner. We have received Volume 7 of

‘Strings Attached’ to Souris On Thursday evening, December 1, the Souris District Arts Council is excited to be bringing Michael Gabriel to the Avalon Theatre. Michael’s ‘Strings Attached’ international concert series has been extremely well received by the public and the press since its inception. With his original storytelling and emotionally fluid material, intricate choir arrangements,

and a gifted orchestral ensemble, the show has become: “...a breathtaking coming together of sound.” (Marielle Julian, Velvet Rope Magazine) Michael first began singing classical compositions - everything from Italian folk songs to arias. He even started to open the door to opera. It all changed when he started playing guitar, as he was immediately drawn to the craft

of songwriting. He was the front man for original pop rock bands in Canada and the US. Eventually, he returned to his finger- picking and rhythmic strumming style on his steel and nylon string guitars. This chapter extendedfor over a decade and included the divine singer-songwriter lifestyle of being on the road, in a camper, in the studio and on the stage. This

Recycling battle at Canada Post continues

A funeral card balances precariously on top of a jumble of unwanted mail at Souris’ Canada Post office. Longtime resident Iola Stocks looks over her mail and unlike so many others, took her flyers with her. Residents have been asked repeatedly to take their recycling home with them as Canada Post has mandated that no recycling bins will be placed inside their offices. There is a very simple solution to this problem, if residents don’t wish to receive flyers in their mailboxes, they can request that from staff members. Looks like people in Souris aren’t getting the message. PHOTO/DARCI SEMESCHUK

period was the training ground and foundation for his orchestral concert series called ‘Strings Attached’. After five years of international touring, developing and refining, ‘Strings Attached’ became a full-time travelling orchestral production that also involves local talent. His finest works can now be heard in one special event that showcases his strength as a singersongwriter. Performing with Michael in Souris will be a viola, a cello, and a violin player – all from Winnipeg, a pianist from Toronto, and

Michael Gabriel a flautist from Brandon. A local 30-voice community choir conducted by Corey Francis has been rehearsing so that they can be the backup choir for this production.

Playing live and writing original material has been the constant in Michael’s career. He has toured extensively and has recorded several original albums. Ticket information can be found in the Coming Events section of this newspaper. Akin to heartfelt songsmiths Jim Croce, James Taylor, and Chris de Burgh, Gabriel possesses a sage, soothing voice that instantly engages listeners... Coral Andrews, The Record

$10 lots prompt post-election inquiries “People searching ‘living in Canada’ or ‘cheaper land in Canada’ find RM of Pipestone,” community official says. For those who want to live the full rural experience, the RM of Pipestone seems like an ideal place. Not only is it full of life but they boast a $10 lot program along with other cash incentives. Some Americans apparently think it might also be the perfect escape from a Donald Trump presidency. Tanis Chalmers, manager of Economic Development for the Rural Municipality of Pipestone, said six inquiries from Americans looking into $10 lots in the RM of Pipestone had been received at her office Wednesday

morning alone. The municipality’s Facebook page also saw a surge of new likes through the day. “In a way, I’m not surprised,” Chalmers said, adding that the office typically gets one inquiry per day about the lots incentive. The municipality has been selling select lots in the RM of Pipestone for $10 for several years in an attempt to boost the population. “When people are searching ‘living in Canada’ or ‘cheaper land in Canada,’ the RM of Pipestone comes up because of the press we’ve had for our $10 lots,” she said. It’s hard to know exactly where in the US the inquiries are coming from but given the influx

The RM of Pipestone is once again in the news with the $10 lot program gaining popularity with Americans. PHOTO/JANELLE DESROCHERS thar came the morning after the election, she believes it’s in direct response to Donald Trump’s win. “Especially when they are saying, ‘I’m from America. I’m looking to move to Canada.’ You can’t help but not think

that is what it is about,” Chalmers said. But while it may seem as easy as handing over a $10 bill, Chalmers cautions those thinking about making the move north that there is a process. Prospective buyers need to put

down a $1,000 deposit. They get $990 back after they build or move their house to the property. “You do need to build a house in order to keep the property,” she said. “It does not come with permanent residency or a visa or anything like

that,” she added. Chalmers expects to see similar inquiries in the coming days. “Moving is something that you need to take seriously but at the same time, there is a lot of opportunity here,” stated Chalmers.

This Week in History by Tyler Bugg November 13: A series of coordinated terrorist attacks strike Paris, France, setting off suicide bombs at a soccer stadium, several cafes and restaurants, and taking hostages at a nightclub. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attacks, killing 130 people and injuring 368 others. This took place several months after other terrorists attacked the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket that killed 17 others, and put France on a high state of alert. ISIS claimed it was because France supported the attempts to destroy ISIS in the Middle East. (2015) November 14: Five hundred and fifteen German bombers struck the city of Coventry, England, causing the destruction of 4,300

homes, damaging two thirds of the rest and multiple factories, and turning the famed Coventry Cathedral into ruble, killing 568 people. There is controversy whether Prime Minister Winston Churchill knew of the attack before hand thanks to the work of code breakers that were reading Germany’s Enigma code, but let the destruction happen anyway to protect the secret that the code had been broken. (1940) November 15: Union General William T. Sherman, leaving from his base at the captured city of Atlanta, Georgia, began his March to the Sea, heading southeast to the city of Savannah, Georgia, 300 miles away, which he captured on December 21. The goal of the battle wasn’t to destroy a Confederate army or capture an important city, but to begin a scorched earth campaign: destroying,

railways, houses and mills, freeing slaves, feeding themselves off the land, and breaking the morale of both the enemy army and civilians through the massive damage caused. It was estimated that $100 million in damages was caused, which would be about $1.4 billion today. (1864) November 16: the RMS Mauritania, one of the largest ships in the world of the time, began its maiden voyage from Liverpool, UK to New York City. Able to carry over 2,165 passengers, and using the new turbine engines to power her four propellers at 24 knots (about 44 km/h), she soon captured the Blue Riband, the unofficial record for the fastest ship on the Atlantic. The Mauritania and its ill-fated sister the Lusitania was one of the major reasons why the White Star Line

would build the even bigger Olympic and the infamous Titanic. The Mauritania would continue to sail during World War I as a troop transport, and returned to passenger service after the war until 1934, when it was sold to be scrapped. (1907) November 17: The Suez Canal, which links the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, officially opens. After ten years of work by French and English engineers and local Egyptian workers, the 193-kilometer canal cut approximately 7000 kilometers from the sea journey from Western Europe to the Far East. Before this time, ships would have had to sail around Africa. In 2012, 17,225 ships of all sizes (except some oil tankers that are too big to traverse the canal) went through the canal, at 47 ships per day. (1869) November 18:

According to legend, expert Swiss marksman William Tell shot an apple off the head of his son. When Tell refused to bow to the hat of a tyrannical bailiff named Gessler, Gessler was prepared to execute both Tell and his son, unless Tell could shoot the apple off his son’s head.

While Tell succeeded, Gessler had Tell arrested when Tell said he would have used a second crossbow bolt to assassinate Gessler had he missed. Tell escaped, killed Gessler, and lead the Swiss cantons to independence. It’s unknown if the story is true or not, however. (1307)

Woodfire Deli bringing a piece of the “Big Apple” to Souris

by Darci Semeschuk A little piece of the Big Apple is coming to the Woodfire Deli in Souris on November 24 and you could be there to see it happen. “The Lay Awakes are an acoustic pop songwriting duo from Brooklyn, New York and they are currently touring Western Canada in support of their debut extended play (EP) album. Woodfire Deli was fortunate to secure an evening with these two amazing artists. Patrick Anderson and Anna Paddock were married in 2011 but only began heir musical collaboration in 2015. Their self-titled debut EP is intimate and tense, featuring original acoustic-pop songs, including the award-winning “Great Divide” (Songwriter Universe Song of the Month). Recorded in Brooklyn,

and produced by the up and coming Jeremy McDonald (Kevin Garrett’s Mellow Drama, The Welcome Wagon’s A Work Of Love In Progress), the album captures and shapes the sound of this songwriting duo at a promising moment. Anna, who plays piano, vocals has roots in rural Manitoba but grew up in various parts of Canada and the US. Her musical beginnings trace back to classical piano studies. Anna graduated from New York University with a master’s degree in music composition, and has collaborated internationally with film directors, dancers, and fellow songwriters. Anna released a solo album in 2013, toured both in Canada and the US, and most notably opened for Paul Simon at New York’s Beacon Theater.

MUNICIPALITY OF SOURIS-GLENWOOD

Patrick, who plays guitar and vocals was born in Edmonton, AB, and grew up in Fergus, ON. His music lineage goes back to the family campfire and songbook. Often with his guitar in tow, Patrick spent many years representing Canada internationally in wheelchair basketball and is a three-time Paralympic gold medalist. Anna and Patrick now share their lives and apartment with their son, Stanley, and a new era of music is upon them. The album has received rave reviews. Here are two of them: Katherine Cooke, AVP, Executive Recruiting at MassMutual had this to say, “Mesmerizing. Just love listening to it.” Angela Miakoda of Roots Music

Report said this, “Their self-titled EP release offers easy to listen to vocal harmonies one could easily expect to hear on the radio while sipping coffee in a trendy cafe. As much as I liked listening to the lyrics and harmonies, I also really appreciated the detail that went into the production of this release. There is nothing better than listening to well produced, engineered, mixed and mastered music. I usually list three standout songs, but for this EP I can’t decide which ones I liked best. You’ll have to give it a listen and decide yourself. Woodfire Deli is now taking reservations for their performance on Thursday, November 24 at 7:30 p.m. Please call 204-483-2795 to reserve your seat.

Souris Sabres wind up season

submitted by Grant Moffatt The Cougars went into the weekend 2 points behind the Eastman Selects and came up with a futile effort dropping a 5-2 loss to the Selects

on Saturday night in Beausejour. The Cougars had won the first two meetings and looked to pull even in the standings. The Selects opened the scoring six minutes into the game

only to have Tanner Clyne bury the biscuit at the 12 minute mark in his first game with the Cougars. The teams went to the room tied at one. The Selects opened the scoring on the first shift of the second. Caley Barscello then hooked up with Callum Fortin and Jordan Chudley at the 6 minute mark to pull the teams even at two. The Selects then went to work and scored three unanswered goals in the last 10 minutes of the second period. The teams played a scoreless third. The Selects outshot the

Cougars 30 to 18 as Riley Wallace turned aside 26 shots. Sunday afternoon the Thrashers and Cougars combined for nine goals and only three minor penalties in the game. The Thrashers opened the scoring in the fifth minute. Bryce Young then evened the score at the 13 minute mark from Jordan Chudley. Dylan Fontaine gave the Cougars the lead at the 18 minute mark from Tanner Andrew and McCullough Park. The Thrashers evened the score 6 minutes into the second period.

The teams battled the rest of the way until Bryce Young lost his second of the game with just over a minute left in the period to Austin Clyne and McCullough Park for a 3-2 score after two. Carson Boyechko hooked up with Cody Shearer 5 minutes into the third period with a two goal lead, only to have the Thrashers come back and even the score at the 15 minute mark. Caley Barscello then

potted his second goal of the weekend with a minute and six left in the contest with Jory Nychuk picking up the apple for what proved to be the game winning goal. Randy Cooke faced 49 shots in the Cougar net and the Cougars fired 31 in the Thrashers net. The Cougars travel to Yellowhead Friday night with a game against the Chiefs and then play host to the Winnipeg Wild, Saturday night in Souris.

OPEN HOUSE

W G NO SIN A LE

A publisher’s dilemma I’m going to give $1 to the newspaper staff. Divide it up any way you wish. Now, for that $1 I am giving you, I want you to publish a newspaper that will contain more reading matter than the current best-selling novel. I want all the news. And I want every bit of it to be fresh. I want pictures of all the local accidents, fires, meetings and events that I am interested in; and I don’t want to see anything that will offend me either. I expect you to tell me who dies, who was born, who was divorced and who married in the last week, including the last twenty-four hours. I want to know what those guys in government are doing with my tax money. I want to understand all of the important events, plans and results, but I don’t want to have to waste more than a couple of minutes on your story. I want to read just as much about Liberals, Conservatives and New Democrats. Don’t tell me you can’t do it. That’s what I invested my $1 for. The only reason you won’t do it is because you have no competition. I want all the supermarket prices, a list of people with used cars, the movie and TV times and the closing stock market prices. If I break the law, I don’t want you to print my name in the paper, and I have a friend who is in trouble too, so you can leave that out as well. Another thing, I am sick of misspelled words in your paper. For $1 you ought to do better. By the way, I eat promptly at 5:00 p.m. so my paper better be in my mailbox at 3:00 p.m. When I meet you on the street, I expect you to tell me all the inside dope. I expect you to serve as publicity chairman for every committee in town, too. If I call the paper and ask how many kids Al Capone had or in what round Dempsey knocked out Tunny (or was it the other way?), I expect you to know and tell me. Right then. Next week I am going to start my own business, and I want a news item about it. A picture would be even better. Advertising? No, if you can run a story and the picture, I won’t need any advertising. But, if you straighten up I will give you another $1 for next week’s paper.

Southern Manitoba Review Baseball Hall of Fame to induct Charlie Argue The Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum is proud to announce its 2017 inductees and the late Charlie Argue of Mather is one of the inductees. The inductees include outstanding players, builders, and team who have left their legacy both on and off the baseball field. Charlie Argue

(1904-1991) was the early driving force for several decades behind the still operating Border Baseball League. He served as president from 1930-60. Before, during, and after his long-time service as president, he was also involved as a coach, manager, team organizer and even groundskeeper. He coached and managed his hometown Mather Mudhens team for 20 years.

Four years ago the church was declared a municipal historic site, which led to the development of a comprehensive restoration plan.

Market Report: Equity markets advance on Trump win by Robert Cey Stock markets in much of the world gained after Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential race this week. Share prices advanced following Trump’s surprise win in Tuesday’s election, although the rally lost steam Friday. Investors appear to be betting that Trump’s economic policies will spur growth in the US, the world’s largest economy. Possible consequences of the Trump win include increased fiscal stimulus, lower corporate taxes and increased inflation. Yet, at this point, it remains unclear how the new administration will manage the economy. Early indications pointed to a sharp downturn in stocks as it became apparent that Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton. As election results unfolded, US stock futures plunged. But fears were short-lived and key market indexes in the US and much of the world

later shot upward. Japan was the exception, with stocks falling more than 5% as Trump’s victory sent the US dollar lower against the yen. The market recouped those losses the following day as the dollar reached an eightmonth high against other currencies. Wall Street’s Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high Thursday but the S&P 500 remained shy of its August peak. Banks and insurance companies were big winners as investors speculated that profits would benefit from rising interest rates and decreased regulation. Industrial stocks did well on expectations of increased infrastructure spending and health care shares advanced on hopes for government change. Canada’s stock market advanced in the wake of the election with select industrials and materials sector stocks rising on speculation that they would benefit from US economic change. The

financial sector was boosted by expectations of higher rates. Strong quarterly profits from insurance companies also helped. However, the S&P/TSX Composite fell below pre-election levels Friday as gold and oil prices weakened. European gains were linked to election-inducted optimism for the financials, industrials and materials sectors. Many emerging equity and currency markets lost ground late in the week on concerns that a Trump administration would make investing in these markets less attractive. US election results were not received favourably by bond markets. Government bond yields in the US and much of the world rose and prices fell on concerns that increased fiscal spending, tax cuts and rising inflation likely under the Trump administration will be bad for bonds. In other news this week:

• The Canadian government offered to renegotiate the North American free-trade agreement. Trump declared his dislike for NAFTA during his campaign. • Canadian housing starts slowed in October, new house prices rose in September and building permits saw their biggest

decline in eight months in September. • The European Union reduced its 2017 growth forecasts for the eurozone and Britain, citing political uncertainty, Brexit and slowing global trade. What’s ahead next week: Canada • Consumer price index.

Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris, “adopted” the Brandon Blood Centre through the Canadian Blood Services Partners for Life Program to assist them in recruiting new donors.

Solutions & Substitutions

by Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, How do I get rid of a bubble under the carpet in my living room? Many thanks. Jeannette Dear Jeannette, Here is a popular fix for a carpet bubble. Use a pointed screwdriver to make a small hole in the carpet. Purchase Bubble Glue or Carpet Seam Sealer (strong adhesive). Squeeze the carpet glue into the hole moving the glue around underneath the carpet and being sure not to spill any product on the carpet. Push the carpet bubble down and set heavy books on the area for several hours. If you cannot find these products ask your hardware store for a strong carpet adhesive. Some people had great results filling a large syringe with carpet adhesive and squeezing it directly under the carpet. Dear Reena, Just started reading your column and love the practical tips! Maybe I missed this question but can you suggest how I can safely remove some burned on ‘oven mitt fabric fibers’ from the top element of my new black stove without damaging or scraping the black ceramic top. Don’t ask what happened. Thanks and keep on helping us with your great ideas. Signed, A frustrated cook! Dear Frustrated Cook, Wet the area with dish soap and water to dampen. Scrape the area gently with a metal putty knife or razor blade (available where appliances are sold). Wipe to clean; your stove should look as good as new! Dear Reena, What is the best way to store broccoli? Menno

Dear Menno, Refrigerate fresh broccoli in a plastic bag, use within three days of purchase since the vitamin content decreases the longer it is stored. Or, stand broccoli in a jar with water to keep it fresh longer. Kitchen Secret: Take the rubber band off vegetables before storing; they will last twice as long. Feedback from Fabulous Reader: Re: Stuck Jar Lid What works to loosen lids is to wrap an elastic band around the lid. Or tap the bottom of the jar with the heel of your palm to break the seal. Sherri Fabulous Tips of the Week: • I was horrified to discover that my child splashed red nail polish on our brand new carpet. Even though the stain was dry, I discovered that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removed the nail polish. Vanessa • Make your own laundry detergent; grate one

eighth bar Sunlight laundry soap and combine with one quarter cup borax. Toss clothes and mixture into the washing machine. Clothes always come out clean; I have been doing this for years. Edna • Use S.O.S pads and water to remove nail polish from carpet (some elbow grease required). Joel •I clean wet nail polish with the help of a white rag and shaving cream or rubbing alcohol. Sam Note: Every user assumes all risks of injury or damage resulting from the implementation of any suggestions in this column. Test all products on an inconspicuous area first.

GUYS NIGHT TO COOK

During the week of October 23 - 29, nine people died on Manitoba roads. This is a number that cannot be repeated. After a thorough review of road fatalities this year, the statistics are disappointing: • In 50% of applicable fatal collisions, not wearing a seatbelt was listed as a contributing factor • In 48% of applicable fatal collisions, speed was listed as a contributing factor • In 39% of applicable fatal collisions, being impaired was listed as a contributing factor • In 57% of applicable off road vehicle and motorcycle collisions, not wearing a helmet was listed as a contributing factor Note: In a fatal collision, multiple factors may be listed as contributing factors. Everyone has a role to play. Manitobans must wear their seatbelts, slow

down and drive sober. The Manitoba RCMP also recognizes that enforcement is a critical part to changing driving behaviour, this year, there has been more enforcement and more impaired drivers taken off our roads. Criminal Code Impaired Drivers arrested and charged. 2015: 1183 (up to October 30) 2016: 1240 (up to October 30) Provincial Traffic Offences (Speeding, seatbelts, cell phones, etc) 2015: 29,458 (up to October 30) 2016: 38,383 (up to October 30) “Manitobans know they must wear a seatbelt, yet our officers are responding to people being ejected from their vehicles on a regular basis. Speeding and impaired drivers continue

to kill people at an alarming rate” said Chief Superintendent Mark Fisher of the Manitoba RCMP. “We must all make a change to our driving behaviour or I fear the tragic loss of life on our roads will continue. To ensure our message is heard, effective immediately, I have directed all RCMP officers across Manitoba to focus on road safety. Manitobans can expect to see a stronger approach to traffic enforcement. There is no excuse for what is happening.” The Manitoba RCMP has also released a video to show Manitobans the real images of what is happening on Manitoba highways. Warning – the video is graphic and may be uncomfortable for some: English: https://youtu.be/ eeBYUm0DC8E, Francais: https://youtu.be/oPZlYcjC5eA
