Save time at the border this Canada Day June 28, 2017 Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada Border Services Agency Saturday marks Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) border crossings in southern Manitoba are expected to be busy this weekend. Following are five tips to make entry to Canada as smooth as possible for visitors travelling north to join the celebrations: 1. Bring proper ID You must carry proper identification for yourself and any children travelling with you to help confirm your legal right or authorization to enter Canada when you arrive. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you must carry proof of citizenship, such as a passport. If you are a U.S.
permanent resident, ensure you carry proof of your status such as a U.S. Permanent Resident Card. 2. Plan ahead Arriving at the border in the morning, rather than in the afternoon or evening, gives you the best chance of avoiding lineups. In Manitoba, the CBSA recommends using the Emerson border crossing during peak travel times as it is open 24-7 and has the greatest capacity to process large volumes of traffic. Visit the CBSA website or download the CanBorder App to monitor wait times. 3. Make a full declaration Upon arriving in Canada, you must accurately report your goods and answer all questions truthfully. Be ready to make a full declaration. Certain goods may be prohib-

ited or inadmissible to Canada, so do your research beforehand or contact the Border Information Service if you have questions. 4. Leave fireworks (and firearms) at home You must have written authorization and import permits to bring fireworks into Canada. To avoid the extra hassle, consider buying them in Canada after you cross the border. The CBSA also strongly recommends that visitors leave any firearms at home, to avoid potential seizure or criminal charges. If you do choose to travel with firearms, you must declare them at the first opportunity and meet all import requirements. 5. Know the rules on alcohol To bring alcohol into Canada, you must meet the minimum age where you

This award is given on behalf of His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada by Mr. Larry Maguire M.P. This year we are in the unique position of having a tie for this award - Brett Van Damme and Braden Thompson Principal Guy Williams followed the awards presentation with the Presentation of Diplomas and the Grade 12 address was shared by Kendra Roberts and Brett Van Damme.

enter Canada (18 years in Manitoba). Personal exemptions equal approximately two bottles of wine, one bottle of liquor, or a 24-pack of beer – any additional quantities of alcohol are subject to duties and taxes. Provincial limits also apply. In addition, the CBSA reminds visitors to ensure they are in fact eligible to enter Canada. If you have been convicted of driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, you will probably be found criminally inadmissible. For information on overcoming criminal convictions, please visit the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website. Quick Facts Last Canada Day, CBSA officers in southern Manitoba processed more than 7,100 travellers in 3,600 vehicles.

First Farmer’s Market set for July 8 Page 6, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, June 30, 2017
The Souris Farmer’s Market group will hold the first sale of the season on July 8. It is the hope of organizers to have as many vendors out as possible out with their products at this inaugural sale. “We know that it is early in the season for many vegetables but there are quite a few things such as radishes, lettuce and other spring vegetables that will be available,” stated Mary Petersen, a Committee member with the Souris Farmer’s Market. “I have heard that some people would have liked it if we started earlier but this is what we could manage.” In other years, vendors bring baking and canned goods as well as a few crafts when vegetables aren’t available. “We hope to have a great turn out for the first market and every market after that,” stated Petersen. Plan to attend the ever popular Souris Farmer’s Market on July 8!
Vendors were out in full force at the Souris Farmer’s Market in the fall of 2016. The Farmer’s Market is held behind Whitfield Drugs every Saturday, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. PHOTO/PLAINDEALER FILE PHOTO

Solutions & Substitutions Page 10, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, June 30, 2017
by Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, We have sow bugs in our house (which are very common in our area). I have heard that keeping moisture out of the basement really helps but is there any other solution to get rid of them? Thank you.
Pat Dear Pat, As you mentioned, sow bugs are a real problem in places where moisture and humidity are high. To find out where sow bugs are entering, look near (or in) floor drains or nearby damp wood such as paneling or
baseboards. Also, check underneath that cardboard box in the basement you haven’t moved in quite some time. Are you able to caulk openings and put in weather stripping wherever needed? A perimeter pesticide spray may help break the cycle for a short time, but will
not eliminate the problem permanently. Remember, if you don’t solve the moisture problem, the bugs will return no matter which chemicals you use. You may reduce the populations by sprinkling a small amount of diatomaceous earth, boric acid or borax and icing

sugar around the house and in cracks (toxic for pets and small children). Also, note that damp or wet mulch will encourage insects, especially if it is not kept below the level of the building siding or stucco. Often pest control professionals suggest keeping mulch levels low around foundations. Glue boards work quite well at catching sow bugs, but will also trap other bugs. A dehumidifier and lots of proper ventilation helps. Feedback from wise readers Re: Filling a bucket Use a pool noodle to fill a bucket, it works great. Slide the noodle over the faucet and run it down to the bucket— allowing it to sit on the floor, no lifting. I enjoy your hints. Ray Re: Broken key in lock Your advice regarding using Crazy Glue or Super Glue to reattach the broken key is for the worst possible scenario. Pranksters will tell you what this glue will do to any lockset or cylinder. If any glue is introduced into a lock cylinder you are risk for jamming the spring-loaded pins that align with the cuts on the key itself. Sometimes the lock will operate if the key has broken after positioning all pins in their proper position to operate the cylinder plug (part that rotates when activated by key). Locksmiths use a broken key extractor that they introduce into the plug to catch the first cut of the broken key in the plug without interfering with its movement and simply pull the partial key remaining in the lock. If you can find a small fish hook, you simply straighten it to use it as an extractor. The hook might catch the side of the broken key and hook into the metal by friction or by nicks in the key or by the first cut of the key. Paul, former Federal Gov’t Locksmith Re: Cleaning an outdoor fountain You had a reader asking how to clean an outdoor fountain.
Simply add about three quarter cup 3% hydrogen peroxide to the water. No need to clean the fountain. Add more peroxide every few weeks. It’s also safe for birds and animals. Donna Re: Cleaning a brand-new cedar deck Your advice to use a power washer on a wood deck is 100% risky. Please correct this in your next column so people don’t tear their decks apart. I have been in business as a painter for 44 years and have seen the damage a power washer can do to many surfaces especially wood. Also, never power wash a vinyl deck surface either. It kills the surface very quickly. Mild soap a brush and a hose are the ONLY tools to use. Dan Re: Dents in stainless steel fridge There are a couple of ways to fix them, one of which is bizarre, but does work! The first one simply involves a strong magnet. If you put it on the dent and you have a rod attached to it, you can pull it out. Even strong fingers will work. Second, you can take apart the fridge where it is dented and use a small hammer and a block of wood and just lightly knock it flat!
