Social Justice Fighters join the cause
In a show of solidarity with their US counterparts, Souris School Leadership and Social Justice Fighters joined millions of other students in North America that marched through the streets demanding change to gun control. Pictured above are the Souris Students honouring the 17 who died in PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER the Parkland shooting.
Souris students join the “March for Our Lives” movement By Darci Semeschuk A mass shooting was committed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on February 14, 2018. Seventeen people were killed and seventeen more were wounded, making it one of the world’s deadliest school massacres. According to gunviolencearchive. org, it was the thirtieth mass shooting in the United States in 2018. Since that time there have been twenty more, and the gun violence continues. Students from Parkland have decided that enough is enough and they began holding walkouts and protests to demand action on gun reforms. Students across the country have taken up the cause and they are sending a message, “Either join us or get out of our way. We are here and we are coming.” Not since the 1970s protest against the Vietnam War has there been such a show of solidarity from the youth demanding change. Those protests have spread to Canada with students across this country. Last week Souris School students marched through the streets of Souris as a show of support for their sister students in United States. The Souris School Middle Year’s Leadership and Social Justice Fighters used their March 21lunch hour to bring awareness and to promote safety in schools. “As it stands right now,” wrote Bev Sobry in a letter to parents. “Students all over America are afraid to go to school
One mass protest was held in Washington, DC. and are trying desperately to make their voices heard. We’ve heard them and we too are raising our voices to say, ‘enough is enough.’” One mass protest was held in Washing-
ton, DC. More that 800,000 people attended that event and it’s one that lawmakers will be unable to ignore. Taking words from her famous ancestor, the granddaughter of Martin Luther King spoke and sent a powerful
message. “I have a dream that enough is enough, and that this should be a gun free world, period.” Other marches were held throughout Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau commented on the movement, “For those of you who marched here in Canada, we hear you and this week we introduced a plan for common sense gun control that will keep our communities safer.” As the gun deaths mount and amid pressure for greater gun control, the oldest gun maker in the United States, the Remington Arms Company, makers of the Bushmaster AR 15 rifle used in the Sandy Hook Massacre that left 20 first graders and six educators dead, filed for bankruptcy March 25. Since the Parkland shooting and subsequent protests, change seems to be coming. Some local governments in the United States have already tightened gun control laws or passed legislation aimed at improving school safety. Dozens of other states are also looking at proposals in response. Companies have changed their policies in response to the Parkland shooting that will directly affect consumers. Some businesses have cut their ties with the National Rifle Association, ending discount programs they offered to members and other benefits. Change is in the air and it’s the students that have decided, “enough is enough.”

By Gale Collinson Cribbage players used 5 ½ tables on Wednesday, March 21st. Nancy Birks and Val Bergen finished the evening with the best score. Betty-Lou Noble with Norm Davis took second place and Amelia Morden with Cindy Janz ended up with the third prize. Joan Dufily held the lucky ticket for the 50-50 draw. On Thursday, March 22, we had 20 optimistic bingo players. Shouting more than once was a very difficult feat this evening. Actually, only Gale Collinson, Betty Devins, Marie Neilson and Larry Neilson were able to holler two times. The Little House was worth $31.50 and won by Jack Rose on his only yell. On Friday, March 23, our meat draw evening was a little quieter but that did not make it easier to obtain more than one package of meat. The only person to take home two packages was Wendy Murphy. Sam Phillips had the winning number on the 50-50 draw and received $90. The pot for “Chase the Ace” was worth $855.50 and Ron Robinson tried his hand at finding the Ace. He was unsuccessful so it will be up for grabs again next week. Just a note to keep in mind – after this Ace is found; the price of a strip of tickets will be going up to $2. A delicious pork loin supper with dessert was available after the draws were complete. Next meat draw will be on Saturday, March 31, starting at 5:00 p.m.

EDITORIAL Editorial: What else is the Manitoba Government Trying to Hide? By Ken Waddell President of the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association. On December 4, Cathy Cox, provincial minister of sport, heritage and recreation, tabled Bill 8, The Government Notices Modernization Act, for first reading in the Manitoba legislature. At first glance, the bill seems procedural, even innocuous. Its first part proposes that The Manitoba Gazette, the government’s official online portal for legal notices, be made available to the public free of charge. It then recommends amendments to 24 statutes relating to the government’s publication of official notices, removing requirements that such notices to be published in local newspapers and replacing them with the requirement or option of publishing them in The Manitoba Gazette. But all is not what it seems at first glance. The Manitoba Community Newspapers Association wants to make it perfectly clear that, by doing away with requirements to publish government notices in newspapers, the Progressive Conservative government of Premier Brian Pallister will make it even more difficult for Manitobans to monitor its activities and business. Most importantly, this bill will affect the manner in which everyday Manitobans learn about things such as changes to school board boundaries or human rights complaints. Let’s be honest here. The Manitoba Gazette is a little-known house organ that catalogues items of government business which must be legally published, such as notices to creditors of an estate or notices of legal name changes. It is generally only used by people in government or legal circles and it is genuinely difficult to find online, even when using the search window on the government’s own website. Making something accessible does not necessarily mean people will use it, and making The Gazette free does not mean the public will visit the website. The whole point of a legal requirement to publish government notices is to ensure that such information is broadly distributed. The 49 member papers of the MCNA deliver hundreds of thousands of newspapers to the doors and mailboxes of Manitobans throughout the province each week. Our readers see those notices and thus learn of public hearings on flood prevention or the use of fertilizers and pesticides in nearby farmlands. Bill 8 will effectively bury such notices in an internet backwater, while the government touts phrases such as “openness and ease of access.” It will likely be pointed out that MCNA’s member newspapers earn money from publishing public notices. Rest assured, the sum of that revenue is not significant enough to be make-or-break for our members. This is not a money issue. It is a question of the openness of government and the nature of democracy. Rather than reaching out directly to the people who may be affected by their notices, via a medium that is still very much useful and familiar, this government is content to wait for people to somehow discover what is happening by visiting a website they’ve never heard of. The scenario rather begs the question: What other information would this government like to obscure?
Sports Ramblings
By Dale McKinnon As my kids went through the Deloraine minor sport system they were fortunate to have volunteer coaches who were not parents of the players on the team. Parents spend hours of volunteer time coaching and managing the teams so the youth can enjoy and experience team sports. But is an appreciated commitment when an “outsider” donates their time and expertise. We had Jeremy Tweed, Dan De Kezel, Kelly Wells, Judy Wells, Joel Whiteside, Abby Horner, Brian Quilty, Lee Clark, Paul Artz, Brad Vandenberghe, Dustin Howden and Chad Elliott all coached baseball and hockey without their kids on the team. I am sure there were others I will remember later. Looking through the Corner Pocket,” minor hockey edition it is great to see this tradition continues. Brittany Phillips and Brooke Kirkwood both coached girls hockey teams. Logan and Jared Maxwell worked with the
local Bantam team. Jeff Dort and Cory More coached the regional Bantam team and Jay Sunaert and Jess Williams the local high school squad. I have only referred to hockey and baseball and realize this is also happening in all the other sports. Volleyball, soccer, basketball, badminton and curling all have volunteer coaches in Deloraine. It is a dangerous thing making lists, as I know I have missed some. But the point is that these people all should be thanked for their commitment to our youth. I referenced the Maple Leafs and Jets last week. The leas last won the cup in 1967, more than half a century ago. To continue with the comparison, the Jets are three points ahead playing in a tougher division. They are also 11 ahead in goal differential! The trivia question is who has won more Canadian curling championships - the “Smiths” or “Jones” and by how many?

He and his band deliver a high-energy stage performance filled with the music and memories of Elvis Presley, that has won him many awards. Adam T. Elvis has been
sweeping through towns and cities from Saskatchewan and North-western Ontario. Adam, along with his four very seasoned band musicians, performs the many unforgettable songs to honour the King of Rockin’ Roll: Heartbreak Hotel, All Shook Up, Don’t be Cruel and many more.

Daffodil Month is now underway Compiled by Darci Semeschuk Daffodil Month, held every April, gives Canadians the opportunity to make a difference. In 2017, the Canadian Cancer Society is celebrating 60 years of holding annual Daffodil Month events to raise money and awareness for cancer research. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, Daffodil Month is one of the longest running Canadian fundraising traditions and involves thousands of volunteers who sell freshly cut daffodils and lapel pins both door-to-door and at various locations. In Souris, the Soroity ladies are handling the Daffodil campaign. The flowers are for sale at the Canada Post office. Here are some facts you may not have known about Daffodil Month: Why the Daffodil? In the 1950s, afternoon TREND (standing for treatment, research, education, needs of patients and diagnosis) teas were held by Canadian Cancer Society volunteers to raise money for cancer research. A particular TREND tea held one April saw a group of volunteers decorate tables using bright yellow daffodils, promoting a cheery and hopeful mood. The TREND teas then became known as daffodil teas. In 1954, a daffodil tea was hosted by Lady Flora Eaton at the Eaton’s store in Toronto and was attended by 700 women. A few years later, in 1957, the Canadian Cancer Society had their first official daffodil fundraiser leading them to continue to sell the perky, yellow flower. The Canadian Cancer Society officially adopted the bloom as its symbol and logo in the year 2000.
Where do the daffodils come from? Daffodils are generally brought in from various cities in British Columbia where the growing season starts earlier than Ontario. In 1957, for the first fundraiser, an anonymous donor paid 5,000 for enough blooms to be flown in to Ontario. Since then, blooms have been driven in refrigerated trucks and transported on trains to various provinces throughout the country. Since 1965, Canadian Pacific Railway ships millions of daffodil blooms for free from British Columbia to Montreal. The journey to each province, however, has not been without some issues. In 1969, a group of volunteers in Montreal discovered the daffodils had been ruined by carbon monoxide fumes and cold air drafts after being stored in the Molson brewery garages. In 1972, a truck transporting daffodils from Victoria to Calgary went up in flames. And in 1985, daffodils destined for Toronto froze along the way. How many blooms are sold? According to the Canadian Cancer Society, Quebec sells more fresh daffodils than any other province with about two million blooms sold every year. During some years, more than five million blooms have been shipped to various places in Ontario. Since 1994, the annual Daffodil Ball in Montreal has raised more than $30 million. A recent partnership between the Canadian Cancer Society and Loblaw Companies has brought in more than $500,000 from Ontario, Atlantic Canada, B.C., the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Where does the money go? Since 1957, donors have given $1.4 billion to the Canadian Cancer Society as a way to fund critical cancer research, education and advocacy. Here are just some of the breakthroughs money from the CCS has funded: In 1958, Dr. Robert Noble and Dr. Charles Beer discovered a drug, vinblastine, that has improved outcomes for chil-
dren diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma In 2011, a clinical trial that tested four sisters from Manitoba whose mother had died of breast cancer found that the drug exemestane could reduce the risk of breast cancer by 65 per cent. In the early 1990s, Dr. Eduardo Franco contributing to the finding that the human papilloma virus (HPV) causes cervical cancer which then led to the development of the HPV vaccine
