Junior Jamboree hosted by the Souris Curling Club
submitted The Souris Curling Club hosted a junior curling jamboree on Monday, February 19. Thirty-two curlers from Brandon, Carberry, Forrest, Virden, and Souris enjoy participating in various curling activities. A jamboree, unlike a typical curling bonspiel, is open to thirty-two participants only. Some entered as teams, and others as individuals. Besides ten ends of regular curling, there was a skills competition and a two-team shoot out. The young curlers ranged in age from nine to fifteen. The goal of the day is fun and participation but the quality of play certainly had a competitive element. The Souris Curling Club and the Westman Curling Foundation cosponsored the event. An on-ice coach is present on each sheet to help with the skipping and rules. A special thank you to Murray Cameron, Stacey Koop, Steven Nay, and Colin and Karen Dunbar. This is the first event for juniors at the Club. The second competition will take place on March 28 and 29 during the Survivor Spiel.

Souris residents could soon be chowing down on the “Burger Family”
A & W has approved a franchise opportunity for Souris. According to reports, the prospective franchisee will need in excess of $400,000 to get the business up and running. Located west on Highway 2, the area will be able to house a smaller restaurant, a new concept developed by A & W. Star 94 FM reported that A & W National Director of Franchise, Yanick Morin stated that they envision the restaurant in Souris to be a twenty-four hour establishment that could employ thirty people or more. Pictured here is the franchise offer sign on Highway PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER 2 in Souris.
The importance of Shopping Local
Much like your local paper, small businesses in Souris help make this place the very special place it is. Our local merchants and businesses contribute significantly to the quality of life we all enjoy here. They are all paying local taxes, they are providing employment, they sponsor every event and every sports team. Before you head away from town to save a few dollars or make your next purchase from foreign-controlled online retailers, think about what’s important to you and your family. Companies like Costco, Walmart & Amazon, to name a few, take huge amounts of dollars out of our local economy. These retail disruptors pay no taxes here, they don’t employ our young people, they don’t sponsor events and teams and they certainly don’t shop here. Think twice or thrice before you take your purchases elsewhere. Support those that support us all. Shop locally whenever possible. Keep your money circulating right here in Souris. It’s good for us all.

Kirkup Bridge could be nearing completion By Darci Semeschuk Residents and visitors to Souris have dealt with delays and detours as work on the replacement of the Kirkup Bridge continues but at least for now, individuals can walk across the bridge to access the other side of Plum Creek. Work on the familiar car bridge, known as the Kirkup Bridge due to the proximity to the Kirkup home on the edge of the Souris River, that spanned Plum Creek at the eastern entrance to Victoria Park for decades began early in 2017. The bridge had suffered damaged in several floods since 1976, including the one-in-300-year flood of 2011, again in 2014 and finally, 2017. The new bridge will be located slightly to the east, will be higher and longer and has a projected cost of $1.7 million. According to Municipal representatives, the new creek bridge will look similar to the current bridge, a “Bailey Bridge design.” Named for British War officer, Donald Bailey who designed the structure, the Bailey Bridge was a portable pre-fabricated truss bridge, designed for use by military engineering units to bridge gaps up to 200 feet wide. The bridges were introduced into service in 1942 and first used by Allied units in combat beginning in 1943 during the Second World War. The design was unique in
that: Construction required no tools or heavy equipment; Bridge components were small enough to be carried in trucks and even man portable over short distances; The bridge was strong enough to bear the weight of vehicles up to 70 tons. The bridge was first employed in Sicily in 1943, and the very first Bailey Bridge built under fire was at Leonforte in Jul. (The website of the Royal Engineers states that the first bridge built “in contact with the enemy” was in North Africa in November 1942.) A total of 38 Bailey bridges were built by the Allies during the Battle of Sicily in addition to 20 Small Box Girder Bridges (SBG). In Italy, the Allies constructed 2,832 Bailey Bridges. The Bailey could also be used in conjunction with pontoons, and 19 such bridges were built in Italy. The longest Bailey Bridge constructed in Italy was 1,126 feet long, and built over the Sangro in December 1943. By the time of D-Day in Normandy, production had been increased and the US was also building bridge components under license. Bailey was knighted, and the bridge design would soldier on into the 21st Century. Construction continues and hopefully the bridge will re-open this summer – not quite as quickly as the soldiers managed it in 1942!
Long delays but end in sight for new Plum Creek bridge
It’s been many months of construction and delays but the end is in sight for the replacement of the Kirkup Bridge at the east side of Victoria Park. Damaged in the floods of previous years, the old “Bailey Bridge” will soon be sporting a new look and will open to road traffic in summer. Currently, residents are now able to access the other side of Plum Creek by a pedestrian walk over the bridge. PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER

by Gale Collinson On Wednesday, February 14, cribbage players again used 5 ½ tables. Vonda Bodin and Sean Deleau made the highest score. Second place went to Amelia Morden with Cindy Janz. Pat Giesbrecht and Gale Collinson finished the evening in third spot. Betty-Lou Noble won the 50-50 draw. Our clubroom was host to 22 people hoping to yell “Bingo” on Thursday, February 15. Cindy Janz and Cathy Nylund
made three shouts. Making two hollers were Marge Rose, Doreen Edgars, Betty Devins and Shelley Maryniuk. Shelley collected $30 by making her last yell on the “Little House.” Our meat draw on Friday, February 16, was a busy evening and Lady Luck was reluctant to play favourites. Monica Matiowsky was the only person able to collect two meat packages. Sam Matiowsky held the winning ticket on a 5050 draw worth $95.50. Bob Edgerton tried to find the Ace of
Spades and put $409.50 in his pocket. He was unsuccessful so someone will have a chance next week. According to my information, Sam Phillips celebrates a birthday on February 19 and also, on February 20, Ken Ryckman and Steven Phillips have birthdays to remember. On St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, we are planning to hold a “Fun Bonspiel.” There is a signup sheet in the clubroom. When I have more details, I will let you know.

Outrage over Gerald Stanley trial is confusing
by Branden Crowe It’s not often that a small town Saskatchewan court case captures the attention of a world audience. However, last week as 52-year-old Gerald Stanley was acquitted of the murder charges he faced in a Battlefords, SK courtroom the national spotlight was quick to zoom in on the northern prairie town. If you’re not familiar with the story, a quick google search of Gerald Stanley will bring up a plethora of news stories branching from the local North Battleford newspaper to the CBC National Newsdesk. Long story short, Gerald Stanley fired a gun into the cab of an SUV full of teenagers that had driven onto his rural property in August of 2016. The teenagers in the vehicle had reportedly started an altercation on the property and at the end of the day, 22-year-old Colten Boushie was dead from a gunshot wound. Normally this would be a case of “self-defense” and “property protection” but in the case against Gerald Stanley, the focus seems to have quickly shifted to race. You see, Boushie and his friends hailed from the Red Pheasant Cree Nation while Stanley is a Caucasian man. As the jury read their findings, shouts of “Murderer and Racist” rang out in the courtroom and soon after the dust had settled, protests and rallies in support of Boushie sprung up across the country. The source of the anger seems to be stemming from the fact that the 12 person jury was all Caucasian, and many in the aboriginal community feel that Stanley got away with murder with some help from some sort of “White vs Native” agenda. I’m not one to pretend to understand the justice system, nor do I truly understand the intimate workings of native vs white relationships on the prairies but at the end of the day, I do understand that two lives have been drastically altered because of this incident. Colten Boushie lost his life that day, and realistically so did Gerald Stanley. Stanley was simply protecting his family and his property, something that I think any man would do in a similar situation. A vehicle full of strangers drives onto your rural property and threatens your family, you bet I’d be doing everything in my power to protect my loved ones as well. Do I think that lethal force was the way to handle it??? No. Do I think that Colten Boushie deserved to die?? No. And do I think that Gerald Stanley deserved to be labeled a murderer?? No. But at the end of the day, Boushie and his friends took a risk. They entered an unknown area looking for trouble, something they had reportedly done in the area numerous times before in the days leading up to the event. I was always told as a young kid that I need to be ready to face the consequences of my actions. In this case, the consequences ended a life. This isn’t about race, it never was. It was about a man protecting his family, and a kid who made a bad decision. Nothing will ever fix this or change what happened, and the more that the media plays the race card, the harder it is going to be for anyone to get closure.
Letter to the Editor
Note: This letter is in response to the Southwest Horizon School Division budget announced at the public on February 14. Allan Downey is a trustee with SHSD but he felt but felt someone had to speak as to where the Manitoba Government is headed with Education in our communities. He sent this letter to the Minister of Education and the SHSD trustees Dear Editor I would like to speak against the budget that is being proposed here tonight. In my opinion, this budget is heading us down the wrong path. This budget will only lead to more cuts. To more losses for our communities. Why are we cutting? Because of mismanagement? Because of overspending? Because of overpaid employees? No. The only reason we are cutting is because Mr. Wishart says we have to. For the past four years this Board has had a plan, a plan that I feel was working. In a very responsible way we were adding to our schools, to our communities. We have added Home Ec to our schools and we have started to add industrial arts opportunities as we saw tonight. We have upgraded our internet system. We have started to better recognize our Colony Schools. We have invested in our staff. We have maintained our school buildings. And most importantly, we have treated all of communities equitably. Each community has different needs but no one has been left behind. Yes, all of this comes with a price tag, a very big price tag, a price tag that is to be shared. Why have we invested so heavily in ourselves? Because we believe we have a future. For the past four years our local communities have stepped up and paid for
our schools. For the past four years our government has stepped back. Why? Because we did not vote Tory Blue? Or because they see our future elsewhere? Can we keep going to the well forever? Of course not. Last June our Board met with our two MLAs, Cliff Cullen and Doyle Piwniuk, voicing our concerns about the rising cost of education and ways we recognized to help lower these costs. We were assured the Minister would hear them. The result? Nothing, seriously nothing, no word from the Minister, no follow up from the MLAs… nothing. Last week Mr. Wishart announced a Provincial funding increase for Manitoba Education. AN INCREASE. Now I know the new math curriculum is confusing, but I do believe Mr. Wishart is old enough that he would have learned his math as I did, with a chalkboard, and there is no way I would have passed by saying a -2% for Southwest Horizon is an increase. Yes what we spend on Education is unreal. My phone bill, my daughter’s new blue jeans full of holes…the price is unreal. As farmers we realize that to continue farming we have to work with unreal costs, but if we choose not to and just tread water, just hang on, our future is limited. I do not believe our future is limited as Mr. Wishart says. I believe our future is only limited if we do not work together to make funding of our education better. Making cuts to say we cut solves nothing. The budget that Mr. Wishart has provided to you tonight takes us down the wrong path. Please make your voices heard. Allan Downey

Manitoba Beef Producers Applaud Trans-Pacific Partnership by Branden Crowe With Canada signing on to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), members of the Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) are giving the Feds a pat on the back. The agreement pulles Canada into alignment in regards to tariffs on beef imports with a number of markets with strong potential for growth. “Growing Manitoba’s beef herd will require more markets for our beef,” MBP President Ben Fox said. “Manitoba exports a significant portion of its beef while nationally, approximately 45 percent of our production is exported. This agreement will enable Canada to seize a larger portion of the coveted Japanese market as we will now have the same level of tariffs as our primary competitors, notably Australia.”
MPI bringing awareness to drugs and driving to the classroom
by Branden Crowe With the impending legalization of marijuana in Canada, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) is bringing cannabis-impaired driving awareness and education into Manitoba classrooms. On Monday, February 12, 600 students from Winnipeg’s Mennonite Brethren Collegiate took part in an eye-opening presentation about the often fatal consequences of driving while high. In partnership with MADD Canada, over 100,000 middle and high school students in over 100 communities around Manitoba will take part in the educational assembly. The presentation is highlighted by a 2018 film called ‘The Pact’ which outlines the dangers of consuming cannabis prior to driving. It also aims to eliminate the thought among young people that driving high is safer than driving drunk. “Raising awareness and initiating conversations about drug-impaired driving is very important, particularly among young drivers who may have
misconceptions about the impacts that cannabis and other drugs can have on a person’s ability to operate a vehicle safely,” said Ward Keith, vice-president, Business Development and Communications, CAO, Manitoba Public Insurance. MPI has aggressively been blazing educational trail since last spring, using several platforms from presentations to social media to raise awareness of the dangers of drug-impaired driving. This program includes a new chapter in the Driver’s Education Program, TV and Radio ads, as well as the aforementioned assembly program. “MPI’s ongoing partnership with MADD Canada, allows us to step up our efforts even more by taking direct aim a new or soon-tobe new teen drivers,” added Keith. “Our goal is to ensure that when cannabis becomes more accessible later this year, young people will have the information they need to make smart and safe decisions about driving after taking drugs or accepting rides from drivers who have.”
Stats from the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association show that Canada was the fourth largest exporter of beef to Japan, doing over $115 million dollars worth of business in 2016. Prior to the new agreement, Australia who is Japan’s largest supplier at over $1.8 billion dollars received a special tariff rate while other countries such as Canada, the US and New Zealand had a rate of 38.5%. The new agreement means that Canada and Australia will now be on the same playing field when it comes to the rate. “The nations involved in the CPTPP agreement have very promising markets, but Japan alone represents an incredible opportunity for our industry,” Fox

said. The Cattlemen’s Association is projecting that Canada will do over $200 million worth of beef exports under this new agreement, which is a significant increase from 2016. “As these TPP economies grow, the demand for higher quality protein in their diets will also increase,” MPF General Manager Brian Lemon said. “This is a huge opportunity for Canada’s beef sector.” “Our sustainable production practices and recognized quality will allow us to compete in these markets and increased demand internationally will drive growth and profitability to Manitoba’s beef sector.”

drew, and Tanner Clyne scored second period goals in the win. Riley Wallace turned aside 27 shots in the win and shutout. Saturday night the red hot Central Plains Capitals came to town on a six game winning streak. Callum Fortin grabbed a loose puck at center ice and scored a shorthanded goal to give the Cougars the early lead. Logan Calder then tied the score and his second goal gave the Caps the lead. Matthew Ramsey created a turnover down low and evened the score 11 seconds later midway through the first. The Caps grabbed the lead early in the second only to have Jared McCorrister tie the game from Tanner Andrew and Leighton Holstein with the man advantage at 9:12. The Caps took a one-goal lead into the third for a 4-3 lead. The Caps needing a win to stay in the playoff hunt scored three goals in the first eight minutes for a 7-3 lead and the rout was on chasing Riley Wallace from the Cougar net. Leighton Holstein hooked up with Hunter Andrew and Jared McCorrister.
The Cougars got Randy Cooke on the bench and Tyson Kozak scored a power play goal from Tanner Andrew and Landon Roberts to make the score 7-5. Logan Calder then scored an empty net goal with time winding down for the win. Riley Wallace and Randy Cooke faced 41 shots, while the Cougars fired 25 at Riley Sveistrup in the Caps net. The Cougars took the Eastman Selects to Waskada for a tilt on Sunday afternoon. The game was a must win game for the Cougars and they outlasted the Selects in a 1-0 shoot out win. Danton Belluk and Riley Wallace were at the top of there game with the Cougars firing 33 shots at Belluck, Wallace was sensational stopping all 48 shots through three periods and overtime. The game went to a shoot out. Cory King had the goalie beat, but failed to score, Jared McCorrister rang it off the post before Tanner Andrew undressed Belluck for the only goal in Waskada and the win. The Rangers visit Souris on Friday night and the Cougars finish the regular season in Dauphin needing a pair of wins.
