Souris Plaindealer marks 125 years
by Judy Wells The Souris Plaindealer will mark its 125th year as the publication of record for Souris and area since 1892. The first edition was published on April 7, 1892. Background of publishers/owners found in the Souris history book - “The Souris Story - Centennial Souvenir”: “The Souris Plaindealer was founded by G.S.B. Perry and it seems likely he came from the US and that the Souris Plaindealer was named after the Cleveland paper of that name. In 1892 Thomas Dickie and W.J. Barclay took over the paper. On January 1, 1897, Robert Cook bought out Thos. Dickie and a few months later W.J. Barclay became the sole owner. On June 1, 1912, Gordon A. McMorran took possession. In 1951, the business was incorporated as Souris Plaindealer Limited with G.A. McMorran as president and editor and Reg M. Sanderson, secretary-treasurer and managing editor. In 1977, the weekly newspaper was sold to Garth Stouffer, while Reg Sanderson and his son, Bill, continued the commercial printing business.” To gather more recent history, an interview was conducted with current office manager, Darci Semeschuk. “We are celebrating 125 years! It’s amazing to me that one small business can exist that long when many others have come and gone. We’re one of the oldest weekly newspapers in Manitoba. To give you some perspective on the timeline, and because I am a bit of a history buff, when the Plaindealer opened its doors in 1892, Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill were still in their heydays and Al Capone wasn’t even born yet. The terrible Wounded Knee Massacre
was barely a year old and the American Indian wars were still occurring south of the border. Some things that seem so far removed aren’t so far at all.” The Plaindealer has seen its fair share of owners. “I started working for Shelly Ross Westwood in 1997 and since that time, we have been sold to Bruce Schwanke, who owned the Melita New Era, Reston Recorder and Deloraine Times and Star. That was in 2002. He later sold out to Glacier Media Ventures out of Vancouver and that’s where we are today.” Shelly Ross Westwood says her 15 years of ownership of the Souris Plaindealer helped to define a lot of views she has had in her life. “Running a weekly newspaper I learned you can never do everything right - you have to be able to take criticism. It simply means people feel an ownership when they express their opinions. It taught me patience and diplomacy. The criticism rolled off like water because I knew we were doing the best we could. In my last year, the criticism started to bother me, so I knew it was time to quit, but it was a great 15 years.” Over the 125 years that the Plaindealer has operated in Souris, it has had a few different locations. “Our office has had a number of locations and I don’t know them all but I do know that they were located mid-Crescent when Shelley and Jeannie Sutton were partners, out of the Sanderson Printing office,” remarked Semeschuk. “After Shelley took over, we were located on the far southeastern corner of the Crescent and since Schwanke took over, we moved kitty-corner to the far northwestern area of Crescent Avenue.” Since 1892 many dif-
ferent people have made a living writing the news and helping businesses advertise their wares. With time, the paper has thinned and advertising, at least from the local standpoint has waned. There is still a strong national advertising base and some loyal local people. The staff numbers have also shrunk as more and more of the design and layout as well as advertising sales is done from head office. “In the 20 years I have been with the Plaindealer, I’ve seen about 10 people come and go. There used to be a staff of three and one summer student. That has shrunk to just myself and my terrific part-time photographer and vacation fill-in person, Debbie Butler. She’s been with us for quite some time. Since we have been centralized out of Melita, we no longer need an ad salesman or layout people. That’s all done outside of our offices now.” Despite paper design being done elsewhere, that wasn’t always the case. “Of course I don’t know how the printing process happened in 1892 but I do know that they used to use the old type-setter, little individual metal letters all placed by hand but today, it’s all computerized and centralized. You don’t see any letters upside down or backwards! It’s faster and the quality is amazing. Colour used to be so expensive and was used only on certain pages. Today, colour is used all the time anywhere in the paper and it’s no longer cost prohibitive.” It’s the same with circulation, Semeschuk explained. At one time the circulation numbers were very high but today, those numbers have also shrunk. “Our circulation numbers have dropped over the years from several thousand
The Souris Plaindealer marks its 125th year in business today, Friday, April 7, 2017. Above is the first page of the very first edition of the Plaindealer as it appeared in 1892. to just over 700 today. There are a lot of reasons for that. Souris has a smaller population than it once had as do many small towns,” explained Semeschuk. “We’ve also noticed that in the last decade with the increase in technology, social media has hurt circulation numbers. Demographics also play a part in it. Younger people just don’t read newspapers like their older counterparts did.” The Plaindealer is still hanging on though, despite everything. One area of news where Semeschuk
has noticed a huge change is that local people aren’t so willing to share their stories anymore. “At one time our pages were full of weddings, birth announcements, birthdays and anniversaries, those thing are no longer placed in the paper. We had a huge rural news section and that too has disappeared. Most of the generation of people that enjoyed reading that type of article is gone and younger people aren’t interested or would rather put them on Facebook. That’s sad to me because the written record is

going to disappear.” Semeschuk says that a once full classified section has also shrunk to very few advertisements. “You don’t see “for sale” ads like you used to,” she explained. “Again, it’s all over social media or free classified ad sites. Nobody wants to wait for the paper to come out. They want everything in an instant. Progress can hurt!” Regardless of the changes, the Plaindealer remains the one source of print news available to Souris and area. Hopefully, that will remain so for many years to come.

Water on the rise, flood warnings remain in effect by Darci Semeschuk Residents and municipal governments are dealing with flooding and road closures in many locations across Manitoba. Manitoba Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre released it’s seventh flood bulletin on April 4 and they report overland flooding continues across parts of southwestern Manitoba, often due to ice in the drainage network or ice jamming on streams.
According to the report, a high water advisory has been issued for the Little Souris River near Brandon due to a significant rise in water levels. A flood watch has been issued for Pelican Lake and a flood warning has been issued for the Pembina River at La Rivière due to overbank flows. Flood warnings remain in effect for Pipestone Creek and the upper Assiniboine River between the Shellmouth Dam and
Holland. Levels remain high on many waterways. Ice has moved out on some rivers but remains in place on others including portions of the upper and lower Assiniboine River. Ice jams are still possible and are difficult to predict. Some of the snowpack remains in the western part of the Souris River basin, the Parkland region, the Duck Mountain area, the Riding Mountain area
and northern Manitoba. Much of the snow has already melted in southern Manitoba, with snow remaining in wooded areas. Souris-Glenwood, Whitehead, Grassland and Cornwallis all report localized flooding and a number of washed out roads. States of local emergency have been registered with Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization by the municipalities of Prairie Lakes, Grassland,
Brenda-Waskada, and Two Borders. Evacuations have taken place at the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation. The ice on the Souris River went out on April 4 and high water on Plum Creek has flooded parts of Victoria Park, covering one bridge and flooding the newly constructed playground and washroom facilities that were rebuilt after the Flood of 2011. No sandbagging was done to protect those properties.
Avoid driving through moving water as the water depth can be unpredictable and current can push vehicles off the road. It is strongly advised that people be careful if venturing out onto what may appear to be frozen rivers and lakes, due to potential weak ice conditions. Up-to-date flood information can be found at www.gov.mb.ca/flooding/ or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/MBGov.

Sounds like the river water/creek waters are rising and raging! Wow, this flooding is sure coming fast and furious is some
by Alexis MacLean Lately I have found little that has interested me in the new fiction aisles, but thankfully, this drought has come to an end. Oddly enough, it did so thanks to a couple of books I had avoided for some weeks. I ought not have. Several years ago I read Fredrik Backman’s ‘A Man Called Ove’ – and enjoyed it thoroughly. His next, ‘Grandmother Sends Her Regards, and Apologises…’ was also good but not up to ‘Ove’s’ standard, so I approached his most recent book, ‘Britt-Marie Was Here’ with some caution. I need not have worried. I still consider ‘Ove’ Backman’s best, but I did enjoy Britt-Marie. Backman definitely knows how to portray grouches! BrittMarie could well be the epitome of a fuss-budget. For Britt-Marie there is one and only one correct way to do things, and any deviation from this sends her into a tizzy. This has not been a problem until lately, as she had so ordered her married life as to permit no such deviations. But suddenly finding herself on her own for once, she discovers, to her horror, that most of the world does not conform to her ideas of ‘right and proper’, and certainly not of cleanliness. In need of a job, she ends up in a dying little village populated with people who are
going about everything in absolutely the wrong way. And their standards of cleanliness are beyond abhorrent, at least for Britt-Marie. She is hired on as cleaner/caretaker of the local recreation centre but this comes ‘equipped’ with a rather disorganized (and, needless to say, completely unruly and filthy) soccer team. And so we start our tale. It is the lovely and humorous story of the real woman beneath Britt-Marie’s gruff exterior, and one I thoroughly enjoyed. I think you may as well. I had also avoided ‘Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk’, by Kathleen Rooney, fearing it to be yet another in the ’older person takes a walk’ genre which, though fun at first, has become rather stale with repetition. Once again I was wrong. Lillian Boxfish is an 85-year old lady whose life is revealed in retrospect as she walks around N.Y. city on New Year’s Eve. Her walk takes her to many of the places that have been important in her life and as she recalls those events we learn more of her and of the path she has walked throughout her 85 years. Along the way we meet a variety of people from all walks of life, are treated to conversations which range from profound to comical, learn of the discrimination faced by professional women in the mid 1900s, and in the process come to both admire and truly like Lillian. This is a small book and a quick read but one which will likely put a smile on your faces.
areas for sure. S.O.S is here for you to get help with almost anything you might need help with. We have many strong and helpful workers that would love to help you out.

Skate Canada Manitoba Volunteer Coach of the Year Award
Jessica Brown has received high accolades for her commitment to skating through coaching. She has been awarded the Skate Canada Manitoba Volunteer Coach of the Year. Skate Brandon, where she has coached CanSkate for the past few years, nominated Jessica, who graduated from Souris School and spent her youth as a member of the Souris Figure Skating Club. Jessica has also spent the last two years coaching PreCanSkate as well as the CanSkate program with the Souris Skating Club. She hopes to see the Souris expand next year as long as there is interest. However, according to Jessica, It all depends on numbers so if people know that there is still a club operating and programs being offered then hopefully numbers will come back up and the Club can offer more programs again.

Ice out on river
