Canada Day 150 was a weekend filled with fun for everyone in Souris. It began with a barbecue at RBC, spectacular fireworks in Victoria Park and a weekend filled with music, entertainment, good food, baseball, and winding up with a fifty-year anniversary celebration at Hillcrest Museum.

Health Auxiliary halfway there by Darci Semeschuk The Souris Health Auxiliary, known locally for raising funds to purchase equipment with the goal of improving life at the Souris Health Centre, have been working towards the goal of purchasing a portable ultrasound and they are half way there! The volunteer organization has used the annual Strawberry Tea as a major fundraiser in the past and this year was no exception.
“We are so pleased with the response we got at our Strawberry Tea this year,” explained volunteer Pat Baldic. “On top of all the people who attended, we also made 374 deliveries and that is up from 213 in 2016!” Those deliveries went out to 62 businesses and organizations in Souris. In total, this year’s Strawberry Tea raised over $3,600. According to Baldic, there isn’t an exact figure that is needed for the portable
ultrasound but they do know that it’s in the neighbourhood of $25,000. The organizers know that their projects wouldn’t exist without the support of the community as a whole. “We are very thankful to everyone for supporting us in our endeavours to enrich the lives of the residents and patients at the Souris Health Centre,” stated Health Auxiliary president Sheila Hollyoake in a message to donors. “The success of this event
was achieved because of your participation and subsequent donations.” If you are curious about how the fundraising is going, stay tuned as the members of the Health Auxiliary are placing a “Fundraising Thermometer” in a public place in the near future. The Health Auxiliary has another fundraiser coming up on August 19. They will hold a Meat Draw at the Souris Legion. Mark your calendars.

I spent much of June reading older murder mysteries and thrillers. Some good, some very poor. I ended the month, and started the new one, with new books though – again some good, some less so.
‘Magpie Murders’, by Anthony Horowitz, is something of a bargain as the reader gets two mysteries for the ‘price’ of one. It is essentially a book within a book. The first ‘book’ is ‘Magpie Murders’, by the (fictional) crime novelist Alan Conway. Written very much in the style of Agatha Christie, it features two deaths, one of which is definitely murder and the oth-
er of which might or might not be. Suspects abound, as it seems almost everyone in the village had reason to dislike one or both victims. Enter Atticus Pünd, a detective very much in the mold of Hercule Poirot. But just as Pünd announces that he has solved the mystery, the book abruptly ends. The last chapters are missing! That leaves Susan Reyland, Conway’s editor,
as frustrated as it would you or I, and she sets out find the lost chapters. What she discovers instead is that her prize-winning novelist is dead. A suicide, so it seems. Reyland doesn’t believe it, even though she is the only one who doesn’t, and the second half of the novel relates her efforts to solve the mystery (if there is one) of Conway’s death. I found the first part of the
RBC kicks off Canada Day a bit early
Staff at RBC locations across the country, including Souris, kicked off Canada Day 150 a bit early with cake and refreshments on Thursday, June 29. According to Souris manager, Linda Swaenepoel, June 30 is the busiest banking day of the year so they chose the June 29 to Celebrate 150 with Youth. The branch had $150 to give an inspiring youth to spend in local businesses. Souris chose Jordy Hale and she spent it at an Elks hockey game to buy hot chocolate for everyone in attendance. RBC believes when you invest in youth, great things happen! Pictured (L-R): Mandy Landers, Jason Conroy, Linda Swaenepoel, Mae Lyon, Souris Mayor Darryl Jackson, Cameron Francis.

book enjoyable, but the second half somewhat less so. Much of it is repetitive, as Conway’s life and death seem to mirror that of one of his characters, and so we are constantly referred back to the first mystery. I also find authors writing about writing a bit too ‘nudge-nudge, wink-wink’ for my liking. Still, the book as a whole was good if not great, and, oh yes, we eventually do learn the solution to the original Magpie Murders. ‘Darktown’, by Thomas Mullen, mixes history with mystery. I enjoyed it but found it difficult to read at times. The difficulty came from its realism. Set in the late 1940s, it follows two of Atlanta’s first African American officers as they try to do their job while navigating the incredible racism prevalent at the time. Restricted to walking a beat in the ‘black’ neighbourhoods of Atlanta, they make what should
have been a routine traffic stop, only to discover an intoxicated white man in the company of a battered young black woman. They are dismissed from the scene when a brutal and very racist senior officer takes over, but when the young woman subsequently turns up dead, Boggs and Smith go against regulations to investigate her murder, and in so doing place themselves in mortal danger. Dirty cops, progressive cops, moonshiners, prostitutes and the ever-present and overriding Jim Crow restrictions all come into play as the story winds its way to completion. I found it a good read, but you should be aware of the fact that the author describes things in language that, though true to the times, may offend. I would still recommend the book, both as a good crime novel, and for its description of the time, depressing though that may be.

Souris & Wawanesa winners announced submitted by RCMP, Westman Traffic Services In honour of Canada’s 150th birthday this year, the RCMP’s Westman Traffic Services Unit held a police “car-naming” contest in eight schools within the Westman area. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police traces its history back to May of 1873 when the Parliament of Canada established the North West Mounted Police (NWMP) to police the vast North West, which encompassed today’s provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, as well as the Northwest, Yukon and Nunavut Territories. The North West Mounted Police has a rich history in Manitoba. A Force of 150 Mounties was assembled over the winter of 1873/1874 at Fort Garry (now Winnipeg). After a hard cold winter of training, an additional 150 members joined the original contingent at Fort Dufferin near Emerson in the spring of 1874. From here, 275
Mounties departed on the famous March West to eliminate the illegal whiskey trading in the area around Fort Whoop Up (near today’s Lethbridge, AB) and to establishing detachments across the prairies. The Force, as it’s called, has grown from those 150 members in 1873 to approximately 18,300 regular members (Police officers) and 10,000 civilian employees today in 712 detachments across the country. In 1904, King Edward VII authorized the prefix “Royal” and the Force became the Royal North West Mounted Police (RNWMP). In 1920 the RNWMP joined with the Dominion Police to form the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and expanded to eastern Canada. The Westman Traffic Services Unit, often better known by the former name of ‘Highway Patrol’, is located in Minnedosa and supplements the local RCMP detachments providing traffic enforcement throughout the Westman area. The unit
primarily focuses on patrolling the Trans-Canada Highway, the Yellowhead Highway and Highway #10 from the United States border to Riding Mountain National Park. The unit is composed of 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 7 constables and 2 support staff, with 9 police vehicles. In the past some members named their vehicles just for fun. The RCMP has a long history based on various traditions. Our forefathers of the North West Mounted Police rode horses and of course named their mounts. In honour of this tradition the Westman Traffic Services unit engaged elementary students across the Westman area to submit names for each police vehicle. The RCMP Musical Ride horses and Police Dogs are named in similar national contests. The Mountie responsible for each car chose his/ her favourite name from those submitted. Each winning student was presented with a certificate of

Pictured: Sergeant Mark Hume presenting the Souris winner, Elizabeth Ann Graham, with her certificate for her winning submission, Polar Bear. PHOTO/COURTESY RCMP achievement signed by Assistant Commissioner Scott Kolody, Commanding Officer of the RCMP’s ‘D’ Division (Manitoba); Inspector Edward Moreland, the Officer in Command of ‘D’ Division Traffic Services;
and the officer who drives the police vehicle. The student was also presented with a stuffed RCMP Musical Ride horse. All the students in the class were presented with RCMP stickers and tattoos, and were given a tour of the police car. The students quite enjoyed playing with the emergency lights and siren, and sitting in the back of the police
vehicles. Hopefully, they don’t find themselves back there when they grow up! The Souris winner was Elizabeth Ann Graham. She named Sergeant Mark Hume’s police vehicle Polar Bear. The Wawanesa winner was Tanner Hawrylyshen. He named Constable Luanne Gibb’s police vehicle Lewis.
