Ball one!
The boys of summer are back. Members of Souris Minor Ball were out on the newly upgraded diamonds to host an exhibition game with a “AA” team out of Brandon on May 14. The competition was stiff and it took a while for the Peewee level players to shake off the nerves but after the final inning, Brandon came out on top by a close margin. Souris will get them next time!
Learning the ropes of a new sport
Learning the ropes of a new sport can be tough and T-ball is no different. Rally Cap players depend on mom and dad to keep them on the right track when it comes to running bases. At left, this young player is followed close behind by a teammate. Make sure you turn left! At right, this young player is trying to master the swing as his ball flies up. It won’t be long and he’ll be going long! PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER

submitted Pembina Co-op held its annual meeting at St. Leon on May 9th. The meeting had 45 members in attendance and was chaired by Co-op President, Marc Grenier. Co-op Directors, Kevin Cutting and Ernest Fraser, reported that Pembina Co-op achieved another strong year with sales of $133.6 million with a net savings of $7.57 million. Co-op members will share in this success as they receive a patronage allocation of approximately $4.42 million. Members will receive an allocation of 1% on general merchandise purchases, 1% on project purchases, 3.75% on fertilizer purchases, 3.75% on crop input purchases, 4.25% on clear petroleum purchases and 5% on dyed petroleum purchases. During the past year, the board authorized $3.99 million in cash repayments to its members. During 2017, the Co-op spent $5.27 million on new assets, which included the completion Souris Building Centre, the Manitou fertilizer shed and the Notre Dame soybean facility. The Board made the difficult decision to close the Manitou food store as losses continued to escalate. The Board extended its gratitude to the Manitou food store staff, as they remained very professional during the difficult closing process. The Co-op will invest $1.2 million during the coming year in capital projects. The major project is the renovation of the Swan Lake cardlock system to access fuel off of the FCL corporate bulk plant that was completed in April. The Co-op will also be replacing numerous vehicles to maintain the fleet. Pembina Co-op General Manager, Dale Pouteau, reported on the business plan for the coming year. The Co-op’s business plan is broken down into five pillars: people, market, operations, financial and sustainability. The goals and strategies for each of the pillars were reviewed. The highlights included the opportunities for sales growth, the need to focus on reserves to finance future growth rather than share

Souris Elks Lodge to celebrate 90 years
Dust darkens highway
What appears at first glance to be rain is actually dust as wind gusts up to 70 kilometres an hour created dust storms across southern Manitoba on Tuesday. Compounding the very dry conditions, high winds can spread fire very quickly. While there are many burn bans in effect the Government of Manitoba is considering a province wide ban on all outdoor fires. There is a small amount of rain PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER forecast for the weekend.
By Darci Semeschuk The Souris Elks Lodge is celebrating 90 years of service to the community with a special evening on May 26. The Lodge members are inviting the public to a supper and fundraising evening that begins at 6:00 p.m. Once supper is finished, the Lodge members are auctioning off ten homemade pies. The kicker is that with each of these pies comes a ring box and one of those boxes contains a men’s diamond ring valued at $1500! “We have had a pie auction other years,” explained Elks Lodge leader Dean Sherritt. “This year is a little more fun with the opportunity to win a ring along with a good pie.” Sherritt explained that this ring has been kicking around for a few years and they’ve offered it as a raffle prize but the winners have always selected the cash. This year someone is walking out with that ring. In 2017 the Lodge raised $550 with their pie auction and Sherritt hopes that number climbs much higher in 2018. Sherritt says the Lodge has prepared a history of the ninety years in Souris and will have it at the event on May 26. The Elks hope to see many people out to help them celebrate their 90th anniversary.
Applications open for New Horizons for Seniors Program submitted Applications for the New Horizons for Seniors Program accepted until June 15th Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris, announced a call for proposals for projects to be funded from the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). The NHSP call for proposals is open until June 15, 2018, and is seeking projects led or inspired by seniors. “This program gives seniors the resources they need to remain active members of their communities,” Maguire said. “Not only that, but it also encourages seniors to enhance their health and well-being and enables them to stay active and share their knowledge, skills and experience with other seniors.” Eligible organizations can receive up to $25,000 in project funding. Starting this year, organizations that have not benefitted from NHSP funding during the last five years can receive up to $5,000 as part
of the new small grants pilot project. Organizations are invited to apply for funding, under the following three national priorities, for projects that empower seniors to initiate and participate in activities that benefit: Vulnerable senior’s populations; Focus on diversity of Canada’s seniors; and Promote volunteerism to increase an organization’s capacity. Since 2004, the Program has funded more than 21,600 projects in communities across Canada, with a total federal investment of more than $452 million. Since elected, Maguire has helped secure funding for numerous projects across Westman and has worked closely with senior’s organizations on improving their facilities and programming. Eligible recipients include: Not-forprofit organizations such as charities, activity clubs, volunteer organizations, professional associations, museums, churches or faith-based associations or

in some cases, sports associations; Coalitions, networks and ad hoc committees; Municipal governments; Public health and social service institutions; and For-profit enterprises (provided that the nature and intent of the proposed activity are noncommercial, not intended to generate profit, and supports program objectives). Eligible project costs could include: Renovations or repairs; Salaries, wages (including administrative costs). Must not account for more than 25% of the total amount requested from the NHSP; Trades/construction contractors, installers, technicians, etc.; Transportation and meal delivery service to seniors in rural and remote areas; Feasibility studies needed for physical work, including environmental assessments; Support home visit or phone call service to isolated seniors, seniors liv-
ing alone and to senior’s caregivers, in rural or remote regions; Purchase of materials and supplies; Rental and maintenance of equipment; and Rental of space or other facilities. Maguire concluded, “The New Horizons for Seniors Program continues to improve the living conditions of our senior’s right here in Westman. I encourage all seniors’ organizations to apply for the New Horizons for Seniors Program.” To receive an application or more information, please call Maguire’s Parliamentary office at 613-995-9372 or email Larry.

EDITORIAL May is motorcycle safety awareness month
submitted Whether on two, three or four wheels, all road users have the right to be safe on our public roadways, which is why Manitoba Public Insurance is again recognizing motorcycle safety awareness month, and encouraging all road users to share the road responsibly. In an effort to heighten road safety awareness between drivers of vehicles and motorcyclists, Manitoba’s public auto insurer recently launched its annual “Look Twice” campaign. “With the motorcycle riding season now in full swing, it’s important that motorists remember to watch carefully for motorcyclists, particularly when making lane changes or left turns at intersections,” said Ward Keith, vice-president Business Development and Communications, Manitoba Public Insurance. “Motorcyclists can also do their part by riding defensively, using safety equipment, and wearing reflective gear to be as visible as possible. “While May is motorcycle safety awareness month, safety on our roadways should be a priority throughout the entire motorcycle riding season,” added Keith. “It’s another way we can change the conversation about traffic safety in our province and create a culture where all road users have mutual respect for each other. For drivers this means acknowledging that motorcyclists have every right to use our roads safely, as do cyclists and pedestrians.” Last year in Manitoba, seven motorcyclists were killed on public roadways. This riding season, the goal is clear – to reduce that number to zero. This is a goal shared by the Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups (CMMG), which annually stages its motorcycle safety awareness rally on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature. “Motorcycle safety is everyone’s responsibility,” said CMMG President Rod Wetteland. “Riding and driving Manitoba roads is not an entitlement, it’s a privilege. Road safety depends on all of us, not just the other guy. “That’s not just a motorcycle in your mirror: it’s a mother, father, daughter, sister, brother, grandmother or grandfather. It’s up to all of us that they get home safely.” Safety Tips: For Motorcyclists: · Wear the right gear, including an approved safety helmet, eye protection, jacket, pants and boots. · Try to be highly visible whenever possible by wearing bright or fluorescent colours such as yellow, red or orange to enhance visibility. · Ride with your headlight on and in a position on the roadway where you are visible to motorists and out of their blind spots. For Drivers: · Always look twice when changing lanes and at intersections to be sure there isn’t a motorcycle or moped in the blind spot. · Watch for signals. It may be hard to see a motorcycle or moped’s turning signal so watch for other signs like shoulder checking which can indicate the rider is planning to change lanes or turn. · Keep your distance. Motorcycles and mopeds may stop faster than other vehicles. Maintain a following distance of at least four seconds and increase this distance at night or when it’s raining.
Letter: True cost of carbon tax is a closely guarded secret
To the Editor, This letter is in response to the previously published editorial: “What-willthe-carbon-tax-cost-you?”, published in last week’s Souris Plaindealer. Despite the federal Conservatives repeatedly asking the Trudeau Liberal government “how much?” their plans for pricing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will cost, the true cost is still a closely guarded secret. Some numbers have surfaced, however. The Parliamentary Budget Officer’s Report stated that a federal ‘carbon tax’ alone will suck $10 billion out of Canada’s economy in 2022. And what do we get for this investment? Environment and Climate Change Canada estimates that by 2022 the adoption of so called carbon taxes and pricing (i.e., emissions trading) regimes, if done in all provinces and territories, will reduce national GHG emissions by 80-90 million tonnes below the levels that would otherwise apply.
Dr. Patrick Michaels, Director of the Centre for the Study of Science at The Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based a public policy research organization, explained that, using the model employed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a 90 million tonne per year reduction will result in between 0.001 and 0.002 deg C less global warming than would otherwise occur, depending on the assumed sensitivity of the atmosphere to changes in GHG. Brandon-Souris Member of Parliament Larry Maguire should Prime Minister Trudeau, “Can’t the government find better uses of $10 billion than altering our planet’s temperature by thousandths of a degree?” Sincerely, Tom Harris, B.

Souris Legion News
by Gale Collinson On Wednesday, May 9, cribbage players occupied six tables. Alva and Don Doherty turned in the highest score. The second prize went to Amelia Morden with Norm Davis and Vonda Bodin with Sean Deleau claimed third spot. The 50-50 draw went to Pearl Marshall. Twenty-two optimistic people attended our bingo evening of Thursday, May 10. One person definitely made more noise than anyone else. Darlene Dooley shouted four times. The last yell being on the Little House. She shared $40 with Marge Rose. The closest anyone could get to Darlene was two hollers and Cindy Balbar, Dave Johnson, Gale Collinson, Dana Stam, Joan Phillips and Cheryl Edwards accomplished this. Cheryl yelled on the Looney
number and received an extra $16. On Friday, May 11, our meat draw was a slow evening and Lady Luck favoured only a few. No one was able to take home more than one meat package. The 50-50 draw amounted to $80 and the money went to John Unrau. Bob Edgerton attempted to find the Ace of Spades and take home $1,375. He found a Joker instead, so the money will be up for grabs 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 cold plate supper of chicken, ham, salads, etc. was offered after the draws were completed. Don’t know if this is right or not, but a little bird told me that Marie Neilson had a birthday on May 7 and that Pat Bauldic’s birthday was on May 9. Congratulations! 18054WW1 18053WW2

The Virtues Project Workshop is coming to Souris submitted The Virtues Project TM is a global initiative launched in 1991, co-created by Linda Kavelin-Popov, a psychotherapist, organizational consultant, and community healer; her husband, Dr. Dan Popov, a clinical pediatric psychologist and senior computer scientist; and Linda’s brother, John Kavelin, an art director with Walt Disney Imagineering. Researching the world’s sacred texts, they discovered something simple and profound. At the heart of all spiritual traditions are virtues, described as the essence of the human spirit and the content of our character. During the International Year of the Child, the United Nations Secretariat and the World Conference of Cities and Corporations honoured The Virtues Project as “a model global program for families of all cultures”. It has found its way into over 112 countries and has been translated into 39 languages – all of this in less than 27 years, and with no corporate sponsorship. Read more at www.virtuesproject.com It presumes that children are ‘born in potential’, and we as the nurturing adults, must seek ways to help them find and own the virtues they possess. It is a transformational process that also allows adults to discover their own virtues. As we seek to address the rising incidence of bullying in our world, it has been discovered that a by-product of mindfully integrating this project into schools is a significant decrease in bullying. The Five Strategies of The Virtues Project help us to live more reverent, purposeful lives, to raise children of integrity and compassion, develop a culture of character in our schools, and inspire excellence and service in the workplace. These strategies build foundations for caring and safe communities. Strategy 1: Speak the Language of the Virtues We want people to hear what we see! Replace the word ‘nice’ with more descriptive language that acknowledges behaviour. Language shapes character. The way we speak and the words we use have great power to discourage or to inspire. It lets people know that we really see them and it helps us to become the kind of people we want to be. Strategy 2: Recognize Teachable Moments Recognizing the gifts and life lessons in our daily challenges helps us to cultivate character in ourselves and others. When we have the humility and confidence to learn from our mistakes, every stumbling block becomes a stepping-stone. Pay attention and act. Understand that change happens with small incremental changes in habit. Strategy 3: Set Clear Boundaries Ask for what you need, not for what you don’t. Virtues-based boundaries focus on respect, restorative justice, and reparation to create a climate of peace and safety. Personal boundaries help us to build healthy relationships and protect our time, our energy and our health. Boundaries are a soul craving. Strategy 4: Honour the Spirit We are human beings – not human doings. This strategy begins with respect for the dignity of each person and encourages us to make time for reflection, reverence, and beauty. It is expressing what is meaningful in our lives by participating in the arts, honouring special life events, and sharing our stories. Creating Virtuesbased Vision Statements increases unity and morale in our homes, schools, and workplaces. Strategy 5: Offer Spiritual Companioning By being deeply present and listening with compassion and detachment, we help others ‘to empty their cup’. This counselling approach empowers others to
define teachable moments and to reflect upon their virtues. It supports moral choice, intimacy in relationships, and peaceful conflict resolution. This process is a powerful tool for healing grief, anger, and trauma. It allows us to listen another soul into wholeness. Christine Ayling is a Virtues Project Master Facilitator and will provide an introduction to the five strategies of this project, which has found its way into homes, schools, businesses and governments around the world. As a mother, social worker, and parent advocate, she is passionate about the potential this initiative holds for providing a language and context for
exploring and discussing and growing those qualities that build us into purposeful, caring, loving, gentle, fully-human human beings. When Linda Kavelin-Popov appeared on her show, Oprah Winfrey said of The Family Virtues Guide: “Parents are always saying children don’t come with a guidebook. This is one! This helps you get them on the right track of leading a good life.” St. Paul’s United Church is hosting this event for the whole community on June 2.

Changes coming for Crescent Ave.
It was a busy day on Crescent Avenue as people go about their usual business. Council for the RM or Souris Glenwood is in the final tendering process for the Crescent Avenue upgrades and expects work to begin in the next few weeks.

Council conscientious with tender process for Crescent Avenue By Darci Semeschuk The Council for the Rural Municipality of Souris Glenwood is taking a conscientious approach to selecting winning tenders for the Crescent Avenue project. “The council will look at all the tenders and make very careful decisions on how they are awarded,” explained Souris Glenwood Chief Administrative Officer Charlotte Parham. “There are very precise rules and procedure that we have to follow when dealing with infrastructure funding. Council wants to make sure they are doing their due diligence in this matter.” In response to reports that the Crescent Avenue upgrades were on hold because of cost overages, Parham said that the tenders
haven’t all come in and council has yet to review them at a municipal meeting so nothing is on hold as yet. The funding that has been approved for the project is $1.5 million and at a committee meeting held May 14, tenders received totalled $1.7 million. “Committee members and some councillors met to review the tenders but all council hasn’t be apprised of the situation yet,” stated Parham. “It was only a committee meeting. We do have a council meeting slated for Tuesday, May 22 and I expect all councillors will be able to review those tenders at that time.” While not all tenders have been selected, one has. The work on the water mains was selected in 2017 before word

came that Souris Glenwood had received the provincial and federal funding. It was decided at that time to hold off on the work and complete it with the entire Crescent project. That portion of the project is approximately $190,000 and has been awarded to Trenchworks out of Brandon. “There are some portions of the project that may have to wait for future funding,” explained Parham. “One of these that is being considered is the safety fence.” In fact the safety fence Parham referenced is an $80,000 to $100,000 touch. Engineers from Burns Maendel say that while it’s not a regulation, they do recommend that it be installed. Other touches that could push the project over budget include benches and landscaping features. It is the hope of council that organizations take up the cause of
assisting with funding for those types of items. “Organizations or individuals may want to make a donation, either in memory of a loved one or class reunion,” stated Parham. “This is really everyone’s project. Souris is a very giving town and people always rise to the challenge just like they did with the swimming pool and the skate park.” According to Parham, the committee and council feel very positive and are excited to move forward once all the tenders have been selected. Residents will experience some delays and street closure once work begins but it will be well managed to provide as little disruption as possible to businesses. Parham expects that council will have all the tendering process settled and work should begin within the next few weeks.
