Souris River draws outdoor enthusiasts
Extremely cold temperatures throughout December have thickened the ice and made the Souris River an ideal spot to sink a line on a Saturday afternoon. Ice fishermen threw up their tents and drilled their holes in hopes of big catch on the river. Spotted just under the famous swinging bridge, these outdoor enthusiasts took advantage of the warm weekend to get some fresh air. The Souris River has Walleye, Northern Pike, White Sucker and Bullhead, however, according to the Province of Manitoba website, caution must be exercised when deciding to eat the fish due to varying levels of mercury contamination.

Manitoba roads recorded as one of the safest years in 2017 fatality report
With 73 people killed last year in 65 fatal collisions, 2017 was one of the safest years on Manitoba public roadways since 1982, based on preliminary analysis released by Manitoba Public Insurance. 2017 results were second only to 2014 when 68 fatalities were reported. “While it is very positive that road fatalities in 2017 were the second lowest in the last 35 years in Manitoba, the fact that 73 lives were lost is a stark reminder that much work still needs to be done to change the driving culture within our province,” said Ward Keith, vice-president of Business Development and Communications, CAO, Manitoba Public Insurance. “We must remember that behind these numbers are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandparents, good friends and co-workers. Road safety is very much a partnership between motorists, other road users, and road safety agencies within our province.” Based on preliminary data from 2017, there were 65 fatal collisions on public roadways in Manitoba which resulted in 73 deaths - a 32 per cent decrease from 2016 when 107 deaths were reported. Although the full analysis of motor vehicle col-
lisions in 2017 is still in progress, preliminary data shows that impaired driving, distracted driving, speed, and not wearing seatbelts continue to be primary contributing factors in fatal collisions, which once again demonstrates that the majority of these tragic losses could have been prevented. Included in the 73 losses were seven motorcyclists and 11 pedestrians. There were no cyclists killed in 2017, according to the preliminary counts. Recently, Manitoba Public Insurance put out a call to action, asking all road users to make 2018 the safest year in history on Manitoba roadways. The province’s public auto insurer, in partnership with MADD Canada, has also launched an awareness and education campaign providing Manitobans the information they need to make safe decisions when it comes to driving after consuming cannabis, and to understand how, similar to alcohol, cannabis and other drugs can impair driving ability. “To stay safe on our roads and not put other road users at risk, all drivers need to think about road safety every time they get behind the wheel,” said Keith. “Buckling up all the time, driving to road and weather
conditions, not driving when impaired by alcohol or drugs, or while distracted – are all simple reminders that can help to prevent being involved in a collision. They can also literally make the difference between life and death.” Safety tips that could save a life 1. Have a plan before you head out for an evening of partying – especially if you expect to be drinking or consuming drugs. Take a cab home or have a designated driver selected beforehand. 2. If you must text or answer the phone, pull your vehicle over to a safe area. Texting while driving takes your eyes off the road and significantly increases the chance of being involved in a collision. 3. Never get into a vehicle with a driver who has been drinking or consuming drugs. It could be the last thing you do. 4. Speed kills. Be aware of the posted speed limit and drive to road and weather conditions. 5. Buckle up – every time. Whether you’re a driver or passenger, and no matter how short your trip is. It takes one second and could very well save your life.

Solutions & Substitutions
By Reena Nerbas Despite regularly washing my sheets, they have an odour that will not wash out. I’ve tried bleach and borax, (not at the same time), but nothing removes the smell. I can’t afford new sheets, so I’m wondering if you have a solution for me. Thanks! Duncan Dear Duncan, This is a common occurrence, and often cleaning results depend upon the chemicals used to manufacture the textile. Soak the sheets in one tbsp. dish soap and enough hot water to cover the sheets. Add at least 4-cups white vinegar to the water. Leave for one hour and launder as normal. Dear Reena, I have four sons and an endless amount of laundry. The biggest challenge that I have right now is foot odour in my house. Since six people live in our home, and three of them play sports, I am drowning in the smell of foot odour. Do you have any advice for reducing the smell of feet in my home? Thank-you, Kelly Dear Kelly, The easiest remedy for foot odour, is to stuff all footwear with crumpled newspaper whenever they are not in use (or store some shoes outside). Another option is to purchase a few pairs of knee high nylons from a dollar store. Stuff the nylons with either: fresh coffee grounds or baking soda sprinkled with essential oils. Close each nylon sock with an elastic band and place one inside of unoccupied footwear. Lastly, place a fabric softener sheet inside each shoe. Dear Reena, I spent a lot of money on steak to serve at my dinner party last week. I was horrified because after I plated the meat, each guest had a puddle of blood on their plate. I checked the temperature, and it was medium according to
the thermometer. Is this normal? Emily Dear Emily, I experienced this dilemma several times until I realized a trick that made a big difference. It is always a great idea to let the meat rest for several minutes before plating the food. As the proteins harden they draw to the centre of the meat. When meat has a chance to rest, the juices will redistribute and reabsorb into the meat. Feedback from Reader Re: Freezing Cream Cheese Dear Reena, To add to your advice regarding cream cheese. First, the best before date applies to pre-opening, not after. To keep a tub fresh, replace the foil cover after each dip with a knife, and make sure nothing else but cheese is on the knife. Mold spores are in the air all the time. Next, both tub and brick cream cheeses freeze well. They may appear watery upon thawing but just put them into a bowl and stir until smooth. I have been freezing and baking with all fat levels for years. Jane Interesting Ideas • Whenever I drop cookie batter from a spoon onto a baking sheet, I always wet the spoon first.

Sorry, no reports on activities earlier this month. On Wednesday, January 17, we used six tables for cribbage players. Amelia Morden and Cindy Janz made top score of the evening. Second place went to Joan Dufily with Lorna Binions and Pat Giesbrecht and Gale Collinson took third prize. Jennifer Ives won the 50-50 draw. We had 27 optimistic people out to play bingo on Thursday, January 18. Not too many carried a lucky charm. Double yells came from Barb Gordon, Viola Logan, Cathy Nylund, Lee Johnson and Dana Stam. The Little House was
Le La Aux worth $36 and won by Doreen Edgars. Our meat draw on Friday, January 19, was well attended and multiple wins were few. In fact, the only person to take home two packages of meat was Perry Van De Kerckhove. Brian Sobrey held the lucky ticket on the 5050 draw and received $152. Laura Symons had the chance to take home $2,596 by finding the Ace of Spades. However, she was unsuccessful and so we will have another chance at it next week. Also heard that Kathy Smith had a birthday this week and celebrated with a party in the clubroom on Saturday, January 20.

CFIB concerned about overly burdensome ‘red tape’
submitted The overall cost of regulation for Canadian businesses is $36.2 billion, $10 billion of which can be considered unnecessary, redundant or overly burdensome “red tape”. This is the finding of the latest research from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) being released on the first day of CFIB’s annual Red Tape Awareness Week. In Manitoba, federal, provincial and municipal regulations cost businesses is $1.2 billion, of which $360 million is considered “red tape”. “Many governments across Canada are taking action to control the cost of red tape. The great news is, it’s starting to work but so much more needs to be done,” said Laura Jones, Executive Vice-President and Chief Strategic Officer. Businesses with fewer than five employees are hardest hit, spending $6,744 per employee complying with government regulation. In contrast, businesses with 100 or more employees are spending only $1,253 per employee. The costs of regulation on Canadian businesses also continue to be significantly higher than costs on businesses in the US. “Red tape is a huge hidden tax on all Canadians but it’s small business owners who are feeling the most pain. They are on the front lines, frequently dealing with frustrating red tape including confusing language, processes that are longer than needed and rules that just don’t make sense,” said Jonathan Alward, Director of Provincial Affairs for Manitoba.
The research also uncovers these concerns: Almost half (48 per cent) of independent business would not advise their children to start a business given the current level of regulation; 78 per cent of independent business owners say excessive government regulations add significant stress to their lives; and 87 per cent believe government has big business in mind more than small when creating regulations. “Most alarming is what all these rules are doing to the morale of Canada’s entrepreneurs. As baby boomers continue to retire, we need the next generation of entrepreneurs to step up. If they don’t think it’s worth it to take the risk of running a business, it’s difficult to imagine the implications on job opportunities and government revenues,” said Jones. “We need to keep working to fix it,” she concluded. The Cost of Government Regulation on Canadian Businesses by Queenie Wong, Senior Research Analyst is based on a CFIB survey of 7,823 independent business owners in the fall of 2017. The 2018 report is available at cfib.ca. Now in its ninth year, Red Tape Awareness Week™ (January 22–26) highlights the cost and impact of excessive regulations. The annual campaign continues to influence governments across the country to launch red tape reduction initiatives. To learn more, visit CFIB. ca/redtape and follow #redtape. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members (4,800 in Manitoba) across every sector and region. Learn more at cfib.ca.

Sports Ramblings
By Dale McKinnon This year’s provincial seniors (50 + over) curling will declare the Manitoba winner in Winnipeg the last week in February. Murray Warren is the defending champion and will be returning to defend his title. Other area seniors have shuffled the deck and have two more rinks with Deloraine curlers competing. Murray’s rink consists of Brian Barker and brothers Reg and Terry. Kelly McMechan is skipping Dean Laval, Blair Goethals and Don Chatham. Neil Bugg is with Don Williams, Myles and Trent Olmstead. Kaitlyn Crowe’s U of Regina Cougars have had a difficult time finding the back of the net, scoring just four goals in six games since Christmas. They have a 7-13-2record. Nial Mills’ Central Oklahoma is ranked 6th in Division 1 ACHA hockey with an 18-3-3 record. Nial has 13 points for the Broncos. Kolby Chen’s Bottineau Lumberjacks were unbeaten in four games at the MLK Colorado tournament in their first action after Christmas. Ashton Bells’ Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs are 1-2-1 since Ashton’s return from Canada’s Development team
in Germany. Ashton had 2 goals and 2 assists of her team’s 9 goals in the four games. The Deloraine/Hartney Colts won both games last weekend. On Friday they followed the coaches plan perfectly and came back from a 6-2 third period deficit to win 7-6 in OT. Sunday they defeated Rivers/Elton 11-2. The colts sit in 4th place in the tough “west” division with a 10-6-1 record. They play in Deloraine this Sunday t 2:00 p.m. against GCB Wildcats. The answer to last week’s trivia is the father son goaltending pair of Rylan and Jason Rommelaere. I think Jason had better equipment when he played for the Royals.
Seldom will football be mentioned in this column but it is “Super Bowl” week. Sorry to all the Viking fans who were teased with their final play victory over New Orleans. In the Philadelphia game a Denton County, Minnesota D.A. tweeted “We got 11 warrants active on the Vikings defense for Failure to Appear”. A Sioux Falls police officer tweeted “We have been contacted by the Minneapolis PD and are assisting in locating the Vikings defense.” This week’s trivia asks who is the only Manitoban to every play in the NFL. He played 11 seasons, 10 with the Chicago Bears and retired in 2015.

Sabres High School hockey regrouping after tough weekend By Darci Semeschuk The Souris Sabre High School Hockey team is regrouping after two tough losses on the weekend. The Sabres hosted the Swan Valley Tigers in Souris on Saturday, January 20 and went down by a score of 9 – 2. Scoring for the Sabres were Tanner Kempthorne and Zach Hodgson with Leeam Willan assisting on both goals. Jared Paulsen took the loss in net for the Sabres. In total, thirty-eight minutes in penalties were assessed to each team. Sunday saw the Sabres travel to Bran-
don to take on the league leading Vincent Massey Vikings. It was another disappointment for the Sabres as they went down by a lopsided 14 – 1. Steven Nay scored the lone Sabres goal, assisted by Tristan Tichit. Brady Edmunds took the loss in net for the Sabres. The Sabres hope to regroup next weekend when they travel to Hamiota on January 26 before hosting Crocus Plains on Saturday and Virden on Sunday. Both games have a 4:30 p.m. puck drop. Come out and cheer on your Souris sabres!
