Study Manitoba Celebrates 10 years On Friday, October 26, Study Manitoba School Divisions celebrated 10 years of welcoming international students to Southwestern Manitoba. An appreciation event for Homestay families and international students was held at the Souris and Glenwood Memorial Complex.Rhonda Simon, Director of International Education, welcomed everyone and introduced speakers and students to perform several musical numbers to entertain guests. It was in 2008 that five school divisions: Beautiful Plains, Fort la Bosse, Rolling River, Southwest Horizon and Turtle Mountain, formed a consortium to create one program to bring students from around the world to Southwestern Manitoba. Since then, over 600 students from 20 countries have enrolled in the area. This year, there are currently 50 students
studying across the five divisions. The evening was in appreciation for the families who make a place for students in their homes and in their hearts while they are far away from their own families. Without these dedicated families, the program cannot succeed. Families who have hosted for five years or more were presented with an appreciation certificate and several families received recognition for five, six, seven and nine years with the program. Door prizes were drawn for as well as a gift certificate for Elkhorn Resort, which was sponsored by Guard.Me Insurance and won by Doug and Michelle Green from Douglas. Anyone interested in becoming a part of the homestay network can contact Danette Lockhart at danette@studymanitoba.ca

EDITORIAL Dear Citizens of SourisGlenwood, As the acclaimed Mayor of your community I wish to welcome three new counsellors to our council table along with three returning counsellors. This is a good mix of new and experienced and I look forward to the next four years of work. As your council, the seven of us represent all of you. Please feel free to contact anyone of us with your concerns, criticisms, and, dare I write it, praise. Your last council worked hard to improve rural roads, urban streets, and sidewalks, along with everything else
that came before us; ever mindful of our finances. I am confident the new council will do the same. There is never enough money to do the things that should be done so a list of priorities has to be drawn up. We understand that everyone will NOT agree with this list all the time. Nevertheless, Souris Glenwood is a great community. We, as your representatives, will work hard to strengthen it even more. We value your input as our community members. Yours sincerely, Darryl Jackson
A “Price on Pollution” is a Carbon Tax submitted The release of the federal government’s carbon tax will further increase the price of inputs that farmers must bear. While the good news is that the farm use of gas and diesel fuel will be exempt, there are many other input costs that the government is adding a carbon tax to. “The cost of bringing a required part to my farm just increased. As soon as it crosses into Canada the carbon tax begins. My dealer adds on his portion of the carbon tax, from his shop to the mechanic and it all comes out of my bottom line. We sell our grain on the global market and cannot add the carbon tax on to
the sale of grain,” stated Jim Wickett, Chair. In meeting with Environment Canada and Climate Change Canada, it was apparent that the impact of a carbon tax on farmers has not been fully researched: There is no exemption for the farm use of natural gas and propane even though they are necessary fuels for most grain dryers and the heating of animal and equipment outbuildings. DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) is required for most equipment to reduce NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions from diesel engines and is not exempt from the carbon tax. Bulk shipments of crankcase oil will pay
a carbon tax, whereas 1 litre containers will not, in spite of the additional plastic packaging that the smaller containers will add to the environment. Modern agriculture sequesters thousands of tons of CO2 in the ground, but the new carbon tax program does not yet calculate the credits that farmers should receive for this benefit. “Grain farmers have been at the leading edge of strong environmental practices for years. The land and water are our heritage and our livelihood. We want to leave it in even better shape for our children,” said Gunter Jochum, Director. The Western Canadian Wheat Growers ask
that Environment Canada undertake research at the farm level before forcing higher input costs on farmers. We would be glad to tour EC officials through any of our member farms and explain how the carbon tax will impact us. About the Wheat Growers Founded in 1970, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association is a voluntary farmer-run advocacy organization dedicated to developing public policy solutions that strengthen the profitability and sustainability of farming, and the agricultural industry as a whole.

Taxpayers Federation Canadian Taxpayers Federation supports review budget submission supports Hydro investigation and of Hydro debacles calls for spending freeze The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is applauding Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister for launching a review of multi-billiondollar debacles at Manitoba Hydro. “Manitoba Hydro belongs to Manitoba taxpayers and they deserve to know what happened to billions of dollars of their money,” said Todd MacKay, Prairie Director for the CTF. “It would appear obvious that the former government deserves much of the ultimate blame, but taxpayers need definitive answers as to what specifically went wrong; who is specifically responsible; and, most importantly, what the current government is going to do to make sure this never happens again.”
The unnecessarily elongated route for the Bipole III transmission line inflated costs by $900 million and the Keeyask Generating Station was supposed to cost $6.5 billion, but the final bill is now projected to be up to $10.7 billion. Hydro’s debt has soared to $19 billion and it’s projected to hit $25 billion in five years. Credit rating agency S&P Global states that Hydro’s debt is no longer “self-supporting” – in other words, taxpayers may be left with the Crown’s debts if it’s not able to make the payments. Hydro is projecting significant rate increases on power bills for years to come. Pallister is appointing Gordon Campbell, former
premier of British Columbia, to conduct a review of the decision-making process that spiraled into the Bipole and Keeyask debacles. His report is due by Dec. 31, 2019. The review has a budget of $2.5 million. “It’s frustrating to see millions spent to get to the bottom of this mess, but if it stops future billiondollar debacles, it’ll be money well spent,” said MacKay. “Accountability is not luxury, it is an absolute necessity and it’s vitally important for taxpayers to get answers about the Hydro debacle.” The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has repeatedly and publicly called for a comprehensive investigation into the Hydro scandal.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is supporting the Manitoba government’s decision to review Hydro’s finances and calling for a spending freeze in its pre-budget submission. The full CTF submission is available at this LINK. “Manitoba Hydro has wasted billions on the Bipole III project and Keeyask Generating Station and we support the government’s decision to launch an investigation to get answers for taxpayers,” said Todd MacKay, Prairie Director for the CTF. “Budgets depend on accountability and an investigation into the debacle at Hydro is vital to
make sure it never happens again.” The unnecessarily elongated route for the Bipole III transmission line inflated costs by $900 million and the Keeyask Generating Station was supposed to cost $6.5 billion, but the final bill is now projected to be up to $10.7 billion. The province has now appointed former British Columbia premier Gordon Campbell to review the Hydro debacle. The CTF is also calling on the Manitoba government to hold the line on spending. Last year’s deficit came in $145 million lower than budgeted at $695 million. However, Manitoba will pay
$1 billion to cover interest charges on the existing debts this year. The deficit is projected to be $521 million this year. The Manitoba government spent $16.9 billion in 2017-18. That’s $2 billion more than the province spent in 2013-14. Even after accounting for inflation, that’s a spending hike of 6.4 per cent. “Manitoba is making important progress to turn around the province’s finances,” said MacKay. “But Manitoba can’t keep increasing spending. Balancing the budget will take tough decisions, but racking up debt will force even tougher decisions to cover soaring interest charges.”

Construction safeguards
Enbridge Line 3 tour (continued from October 19) COURTESY OF ANNE DAVISON/VIRDEN EMPIRE-ADVANCE Outfitted with orange vests, white hardhats and gloves with glow green knuckles, local officials, land owners and the media toured the construction process on Enbridge Line 3 Replacement project on October 12. “If you do happen to smoke, please take your butts,” said tour guide Joanne Bradbury before the group of 30 left Wawanesa hall. “We don’t leave anything on the right-of-way.” Passing Bannister work crews, the tour began at a Sommerville-Aecom (SA Energy) site. Amid the gentle roar of machinery punctuated by back-up warning beeps they witnessed a process designed to treat the pipe with better care than many would treat
their grandmother’s silverware. From Hardisty, Alta. Line 3 replacement runs in a pipeline corridor along with seven other lines, travelling south of Virden on its journey to Gretna in southern Manitoba. From that point it enters through a corner of North Dakota, into Minnesota (approved there in June, 2018), and on to the super terminal at Superior, Wisconsin. Spread 7 brings the line from the RM of Maryfield, Sask. into Manitoba through the corner of the RM of Wallace-Woodworth, eastward through Pipestone, Sifton, SourisGlenwood, into the RM of Wawanesa-Oakland, where Spread 8 begins. Awaiting installation the pipe had to be white-coated as it sat out through a lengthy regulatory process that began
A multi-headed propane torch (long handle visible) is inserted into the pipe to heat it up before the first join. A padded collar on the pipe helps retain the heat. in November four years ago. In the mean time, for safety, Enbridge reduced
the pressure on the old Line 3 to run at about half its potential.
Waiting on wildlife Before the pipe was laid out, the land within the right-of-way the topsoil was stripped off and stock-piled. Highly visible deep green biodegradable cellulose sprayed along the edge of the right-of-way provides a boundary for the precious topsoil, guarding against contamination. The transitional soils as well as the deeper clay bedding is also stockpiled separately. Aquatic or riparian lands require extra care. In some cases, directional drilling or direct boring takes the pipe under a creek or river bed.
An environment team sweeps the right-of-way to ensure that rare plants and birds are not harmed. Construction was delayed this August for conservation reasons. An endangered bird, a bobolink was in the way. Mr. and Mrs. Bobolink hadn’t quite got the kids out of the nest this August, so construction did not go ahead until nesting was over. Moving along the multi-line corridor, using a hydro-vac, tests are made to check that the existing pipes are mapped accurately within the line. Tour guide Assistant Continued on Page 11

The Gudnason brothers combined for six points in an 8 – 1 win over the Parkland Rangers in front of the hometown crowd in Killarney October 27. The win put the Cougars in first place before dropping to second behind the Winnipeg Wild and tied with Yellowhead after the Wild secured two wins on the weekend. PHOTO/SOUTHWEST COUGARS
Gudnason brothers wow hometown crowd in Cougars win By Grant Moffatt The Cougars jumped into first place after an 8-1 win over Parkland in Killarney Saturday night, but dropped back to second a point back of the Winnipeg Wild and tied with Yellowhead after the Wild won a pair of games on the weekend. Friday night the Cougars travelled to Shoal Lake and scored four power play goals in a 5-1 win over the Chiefs. The Chiefs outshot the Cougars as Randy Cooke faced 34 shots while the Cougars fired 26 at Trevor Wotton and Nathan Falloon. The Cougars opened the scoring 15 seconds after a Yellowhead penalty as Cody Shearer snapped a point shot off with Callum Fortin and Austin Clyne earning the assists. Braeden Lewis scored three minutes later from Hunter Andrew and Trent Sambrook for a second power play goal. The Cougars killed off a pair of penalties to start the second period and had just returned to full strength when Landon Roberts scored his first of the year from Austin Clyne and Cody Gudnason five minutes into the second period. The Cougars took a four-goal lead at 8:28 when Callum Fortin hooked up with Braeden Lewis and Trent Sambrook for the third power play goal. The Chiefs scored a power play marker when Sloan Stanick scored with the
man advantage at 12:19. The Cougars finished the scoring with fourth power play goal when Landon Roberts scored his second goal of the game from Austin Clyne and Callum Fortin to finish the scoring after two periods. The difference in the game was the Cougars power play as they scored four times on eight chances. Saturday night in Killarney the Cougars scored twice in the first minute on the way to a 8-1 win. Rylan Gudnason opened the scoring from Jordan Boyechko 26 seconds in. Tyson Kozak scored 12 seconds later when he snapped a shot home from Boyechko and Cory King. Rylan Gudnason scored with seven seconds left in the period from Sambrook and Trent Hunt as they out shot the Rangers 22-3. The Cats extended the
lead in the second Landon Roberts hooked up with Boyechko and Fortin, before Rylan Gudnason made the hometown proud with his third of the game from Cody Gudnason. Tyson Kozak made it 6-0 with a power play marker from Braeden Lewis and Cory King to finish the second period scoring. Cody Gudnason increased the lead with Rylan Gudnason and Hunter Andrew helping out. The Rangers finally broke Caden Wilson’s shut out bid with just over two minutes left in the third with the man advantage. Hunter Andrew scored nine seconds later to finish the scoring. The Gudnason brothers combined for six points in the win in front of the hometown crowd. The Cougars host the Winnipeg Bruins and Eastman Selects the first weekend in November.

Second World War Veteran Reflects on War Amps 100 Years of “Amputees Helping Amputees”
Charlie Jefferson, a Second World War amputee veteran. submitted On November 11, Second World War veteran
Charlie Jefferson will not only be thinking of all those who have served
CULLEN CLIFF MLA - REMEMBRANCE DAY R0021620294 CP99 - 4C
and continue to serve on behalf of Canada, he will also be reflecting on the 100th anniversary of The War Amps, an organization which has supported him and generations of amputees. In March 1945, Jefferson was serving as a Lieutenant with the Queen’s Own Rifles Regiment in the Rhine Valley, Germany. He was injured by an antipersonnel mine explosion, resulting in the loss of his left leg below the knee. When he returned to Canada, he was greeted by a war amputee veteran who reassured him that living with an amputation would not be a barrier to a successful life and that The War Amps would be there to support him. The War Amps was started in 1918 by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other in adapting to their new reality as amputees. They then welcomed amputee veterans following the Second World War, like Jefferson, sharing all that they had learned, as

well as starting the Key Tag Service to allow these new members to gain meaningful employment and provide a service to the public. Jefferson says that he gained practical advice from fellow amputee veterans, like how to protect the skin on his stump from blisters. He adds that the moral support he received was just as important because it made him feel like he was not alone. “It became easier to accept your amputation and helped make the most of what you’ve got left,” says Jefferson. Over the years, he “paid it forward” by visiting new amputees in hospitals and at their homes to provide the same guidance that he had been given. “I would tell them what success I had and what was working for me, so there was a comradery and information transfer,” he says. This peer support was then passed on to a new generation. In 1975, war amputee veterans recognized that their knowledge and experience could help others so they started The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, which provides financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs and regional seminars to young amputees. Rob Larman, Director of The War Amps PLAY-
SAFE/DRIVESAFE Program, lost his right leg in a train accident at the age of 14 and grew up with the CHAMP Program. “On Remembrance Day, I think of the incredible legacy these First and Second World War ‘amps’, like Mr. Jefferson, have created for all amputees in this country,” says Larman. “I’m proud to, in turn, help the younger amputees who
have come after me.” When war amputee veterans started The War Amps, they could not have predicted that their founding principle of “amputees helping amputees” would still be going strong 100 years later. Thanks to the public’s continuing support of the Key Tag Service, The War Amps vital programs for amputees across Canada will carry on long into its second century.
Charlie Jefferson passes down the advice he learned from fellow amputee veterans to members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.
Manitoba Beef Producers expresses concern over federal carbon tax plans By Keith Borkowsky, Communications Coordinator, Editor, Cattle Country Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) have a role to play in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. However, MBP are also concerned about the potential impacts the federal carbon tax plan will have on their operations. “We have concerns this tax will negatively affect our operations due to higher costs related to transporting cattle, inputs and many other products and services we need on a daily basis,” MBP president Tom Teichroeb said. “While there are exemptions proposed for on-farm use of fuels for tractors, trucks and other farm machinery, Manitoba’s beef producers will still be affected by these types of pass-through costs.” “As our producers don’t
set the price of their herds, they will be adversely impacted and will have to absorb these costs at a time when we are seeking to increase the size of the provincial herd,” Teichroeb said. “Higher taxes place a barrier in the way of fulfilling that objective and decrease our ability to compete in a global marketplace.” Teichroeb added studies show that pastures and grasslands utilized by cattle producers can sequester as much as eight tonnes of carbon per hectare per year. “Rather than a carbon tax, additional supports for increasing and enhancing grassland and pasture acres would help the environment as multiple benefits accrue from the carbon sequestration,” Teichroeb said. “Not only would this support protection of biodiversity, these efforts
enhance resilience against floods and droughts and provide valuable habitat for an array of species.” MBP seek further dialogue with the federal and provincial governments to find solutions, which both reduce carbon emissions and support the agriculture sector. Manitoba Beef Producers is the exclusive voice of Manitoba’s 6,500 beef producers. Our role and mission is to represent our members through communication, research, advocacy and education. We provide this representation within industry, to government, to the beef consumer and general public. These efforts take place to strengthen our industry viability, improve prosperity and ensure a sustainable future for the beef industry in Manitoba for the benefit of all our producers.

the losing L.A. Dodgers managerial decisions. Quote “the manager brings in nervous relievers who get shellacked. Four run lead is gone. Manger do it all the time, big mistake!” Interesting Trump can make this assessment not knowing the history, present physical conditions or statistical probability of the situation. He missed the fact the Dodge relieves were 54-0 this season when leading by four runs or more, and had allowed only two runs and five hits over the 11 extra innings the night before. I wonder if his tweets on International Trade, Immigration, the environment or the Middle East were researched the
same! Just saying! Nial Mills is on a point a game clip early in the season with the University of Central Oklahoma. Last week’s trivia asked two questions about the 1971 Portage Terriers. Their goalie that year with 104 NHL games was Winnipeger Curt Ridley. The Allstar defenseman from Minnedosa who might be still refereeing is Frank Taylor. This week’s trivia will stick with the baseball theme. The Blue Jays announced their new manager would be Charlie Montoyo. Which major league teams did Charlie play for in 1993? Hint – Canadian Larry Walker and Matt Stairs were also on this team.

By Dale McKinnon Two former Toronto Blue Jays played dominant roles in the Red Sox World Series victory. David Price was excellent in his last two games after going 0-9 in previous playoff games. Steve Pierce was the Series MVP with 3 homeruns and 7 RBIs in the final two Red Sox victories. According to Sport Net’s Arash Madina, Steve Pierce did not want to leave Toronto when the Jays general manager told him he had been traded to Boston midseason. I suspect his is happy with the trade now he is a World Series hero. Even the President of the U.S.A. used his twitter account comment on

Construction sometimes means waiting on wildlife Continued from Page 4 Construction Manager Mike Jespersen pointed to data recorded on a yellow stake, showing a pipeline in the ground, buried 2.2 metres below the surface. Welding process To join the 20-metre lengths of pipe, an internal clamp expands and holds the two pipes together while the weld is made. The internal joiner scuttles down through the length of pipe on little wheels to each new join. Five portable welding ‘shacks’ chug along the
length of pipe in tandem, each one adding a layer of weld, which Jespersen explains as “The root, the KRW SDVV WKUHH Ă€ OOV DQG then a cap on top of that as well.â€? Every join is registered into GPS data showing when the weld was done. In addition, data is written on the pipe in case it is ever dug up for repair. Radiography and xrays are performed to check each weld. “Right now, our repair rate is between one and two percent,â€? said Jespersen.
“We’re close to about 2800 welds right now, on this spread.� The pipe follows the contours of the land, so it must be bent slightly at hills and hollows. It is inspected again and any repairs are made before it is buried about four feet under the topsoil. On schedule
It’s a race between the construction schedule and freezing temperature. With freezing conditions Jespersen says, “We’re working with landowners, [determining] what makes the most sense to not damage the topsoil.� “The way we treat topsoil is extremely impor-
tant.� The soil is cleaned of weeds before the job is over. If that happens to be D FHUWLÀ HG RUJDQLF ULJKW of-way, weeds will be hand-picked. After a large section of pipe is in place, when valves are installed, that segment is hydro-tested before it ever carries oil.
The plan is to have this $5.3 billion project completed and product moving in the line next year. After it’s in service, “environmental colleagues evaluate the right of way. Five years of reporting goes into the National Energy Board after the project is complete,� says Jespersen.

Ace of Spades still up for grabs at Souris Legion
Sabres hockey team back on the ice The Souris Sabres High School Hockey team was back on the ice October 28 as they hosted the Rivers/Elton Rage. Goaltender Brady Edmunds backstopped his team to a 6 – 4 win in their first home game of the year. Myles Sobry netted a hat trick while Zach Hodgson, Dominic Denbow and Colby Wrightson each picked up a single in the win. Sobry also picked up to assists in a five-point night. The Sabres will host Virden on November 4 at 4:30 and Dauphin on November 10 at 5:30 before heading out on the road until December 1.

by Gale Collinson Souris Legion cribbage players, as they did last week, occupied 6 ½ tables on Wednesday, October 24. Lynne and Gord McDowell finished the evening with the best score. Evelyn Harlton and Deb Robinson again claimed second prize and Evelyn Bowles with Margaret Edmunds took third place. Bev Nickles won the 50-50 draw. Twenty-five hopeful players attended our bingo evening of Thursday, October 25. Loudest person in the room was Gale Collinson with four shouts. The closest to her made only two hollers and they were Doreen Edgar, Lee Johnson and Betty Devins. Dave Johnson was very patient – waited to yell on the Little House and received $38. On Friday, October 26, our meat draw was very well attended. Lady Luck did not pick any favou-
“This is the safest and most environmentally friendly pipeline project we have ever seen”
rites and no one was able to take home more than one package of meat. The 50-50 draw amounted to $157 and the lucky number belonged to Terri Van De Kerckhove. Terry Carlisle won the opportunity to collect $3,765.50 by picking the Ace of Spades. This he could not do, so it will be up for grabs next week. A meal of ham and scalloped potatoes was offered after the draws were completed. Just a note to keep in mind – after this Ace is found, the price of a strip of tickets for the “Chase the Ace” draw will be going up to $2. Sending birthday congratulations to Irwin Harlton on the 28th and Evelyn Bowles on the 29th. On Saturday, November 3 we will be having “a tribute to the King, Elvis” performed by a very talented impersonator. Please come and enjoy this great evening with us.
How does your organization view the replacement of the Line 3 pipeline?
> Enbridge is replacing its Line 3 pipeline near your community. Here are some ways communities are benefiting: Job Creation Over the life of the project, an estimated 24,494 (full-time equivalent) construction jobs and $1.8 billion in labour income will be generated.
Dave Core Director of Special Projects, Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations (CAEPLA)
“Construction of this pipeline marks the first time in history a major North American pipeline project has rolled out in full accordance with landowner values and priorities built into the blueprint. Line 3 Replacement Program sets a new standard for energy transport projects in Canada.”
Fueling Quality of Life The Line 3 Replacement Program will generate over $500 million in tax revenue and contribute $2.8 billion to Canada’s Gross Domestic Product. The taxes we pay support schools, roads, community projects and other services that sustain our quality of life. Investment in Community Organizations We are proud to support organizations that promote safety, environmental and social issues within communities. That’s why in 2017 alone, across Canada, we invested more than $15 million in communities near our pipelines to help strengthen communityfocused initiatives.
