Souris Elks Lodge to celebrate 90 years By Darci Semeschuk The Elks Lodge of Canada was founded September 26, 1912 and incorporated under a special Dominion of Canada Charter. The first lodge was established in Vancouver, B.C. and the Officers and members expanded the Elks organization across Canada. Souris created their Lodge # 21 in 1928. The Grand Lodge organizer at that time was A.F. McKenzie who had been sent to Souris to see about putting the wheels in motion for a new lodge. He was successful and the new Lodge was instituted on February 18, 1928 when 54 members took the pledge. At that time it was the practice to assign defunct lodge numbers to new lodges so Souris picked up the number of Woodstock, Ontario and Souris Lodge #21 was created. Ninety years later it’s still going strong. As the new Lodge took shape, the first Exaulted Ruler (ER) was J.H. Moore and C. Redpath being installed as Past ER. It was a big affair for 1928 with visiting members from Hanna, Alberta, Estevan and Broadview, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Brandon, Russell and Neepawa taking part in the ceremonies. The new Lodge members got straight to work on their charitable projects, a trend that continues into 2018. They organized the Souris Amateur Athletics Association and held their first sports day soon after. They worked to provide a community hall for town which they operated successfully to help pay off the debentures. They paid for the electric bell system in the old hospital, backed the boy scouts, amateur sports, and the Elks band. They also constructed and operated a miniature golf course for a few years. In 1930 they won the trophy for the ‘Most Active Lodge in Manitoba!” In 1944 Elks Lodge #21 purchased and presented to the town a lifeboat and related equipment to be used at the swimming area. They provided the children’s ward at the hospital with furnishings, equipment, toys, and books. The Lodge took action to form a volunteer fire brigade and a Little League Baseball Club. The children’s playground in Victoria Park was started in 1963 and their major project in 1975 was the installation of mercury vapour lights in the arena. The Elks Lodge’s good work continued on in the form of bursaries and donations to many projects. They reported that in their first 75 years nearly a quarter of a million dollars had been turned back to the community and national appeals. They con-
Treasured pool possible with help from 90-year-old organization
When the town was planning a new swimming pool for Victoria Park the Elks Lodge #21 stepped up to the plate with a $15,000 donation, just one of the many projects undertaken by the Lodge. You would have to look far and wide in this community for a project that doesn’t have their stamp on it. The Souris Elks Lodge #21 is celebrating 90 years of service to the community with a celebration supper at Murphy’s Irish Pub May 26.

tinue to provide funding for projects such as the Souris Pool, Souris Skatepark, the health centre, donations to sports teams, the school playground to name a few all while running their television Bingo and providing bar services. Most recently they voted to provide nine new television sets in the hospital rooms. The Elks of Canada have grown to over 250 lodges with close to 15,000 members and are committed to our Vision of being the most progressive family focused organization in Canada, meeting community and member needs and expectations. The Elks & Royal Purple Fund for Children is a grass roots charity and remains a proud tradition of
our Lodges and members all across Canada. The charity relies on donations from Lodges through their fundraising efforts and personal contributions. Our donors know that through their on-going support, they are making a real and measurable difference in the lives of countless children in need. Many children have benefited, but much work remains to be done. Current ER Dean Sherritt says the Souris Lodge is holding a celebration supper at Murphy’s Irish Pub in Souris on Saturday, May 26 beginning at 6:00 p.m. The public is invited to join them as they celebrate 90 years and move forward into the future.

‘Rural Week’ for medical students set for end of May submitted by PMH First-year medical students from the University of Manitoba’s (U of M) Max Rady College of Medicine (Rady Faculty of Health Sciences) are once again preparing to spread out across rural and northern Manitoba during the annual “Rural Week” (May 28-June 1). Rural Week 2018, coordinated by the Manitoba HealthCare Providers Network (MHCPN), the University and rural regional health authorities, provides opportunity for 114 medical students to gain first-hand experience of how rural and northern Manitoba medical practices function. It also doubles by extolling the many benefits of working and living in a rural/northern Manitoba area. Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) is once again an active partner throughout the
week— with 33 medical students assigned to 12 communities within the health region. Communities participating this year include Brandon, Dauphin, Hamiota, Killarney, Neepawa, Rivers, Russell, Souris, Ste. Rose, Swan River, Treherne and Virden. Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living Minister Kelvin Goertzen says the government supports efforts like Rural Week that are part of on-going health care recruitment and retention strategies taking place province-wide. “This is a tremendous initiative that provides great benefit to medical students,” Goertzen said. “They get valuable hands- on work experience through the clinical pieces and our health partners promote their communities as a great place to live and work. Work-life balance is such an

important part of this which is evidenced by students participating in everything from fishing expeditions, nature hikes and recreational activities to learning about unique community events, festivals and other celebrated activities.” PMH Director of Medical Services, Michelle McKay, says the event is a ‘winwin’ all the way around. “Students participate in a variety of rural physician practices, spend time at wards and units at rural health centres, and in most cases, tag along with a ‘doc’ to see how their week unfolds,” McKay said. “We really appreciate the opportunity to highlight communities, medical facilities and sites within the health region in the hopes that some of these up and coming physicians eventually select to live and work in rural Manitoba.” McKay adds that Prairie Mountain Health very much appreciates the efforts of all of the physician preceptors, healthcare professionals and community volunteers to ensure Rural Week meets its goal
and objectives. MHCPN Project Coordinator Wayne Heide says part of the organization’s goal is to provide medical students with exposure to the diversity that exists across rural settings. “Rural Manitoba offers tremendous opportunity for a rewarding career and a great lifestyle, but it is only through direct experiences like Rural Week that students become aware of the possibilities,” Heide stated. “For students from an ‘urban-origin’ this may be their first real experience with rural life. For those from rural areas, it’s a chance to reinforce the positive aspects of rural life and to connect them to medical professionals that have chosen to practice rurally.” Rural Week first started in Manitoba in 2003 as an optional experience, although it was selected by 70 per cent of the Medicine class. In 2004, Rural Week was officially approved as a component of the Medical 1 curriculum and now the entire class spends one week within rural and northern Manitoba communities.

Sports Ramblings By Dale McKinnon
It was fun while it lasted! The Winnipeg Jets made it to the final four. What I have a hard time believing is it was a Vegas expansion team that eliminated them. The ball diamonds have been busy with great weather for the annual tournaments last weekend. The Colts high school team finished their league at 4-3. Zach Maddess and Grady Hobbs led the team offensively with 10 hits each. Jesse Skelton had 18 strikeouts in 14 innings with a 2.5 ERA. The Colts competed in their zones, losing out to Reston/Elkhorn in two extra innings. The girls high school team also competed in zones. The senior Royals begin Friday, May 25 with the Souris Cardinals in town. They travel to Hamiota Sunday, May 27 and host Wawanesa Friday, June 1st. James Paxton from BC became the first Canadian in major league history to throw a no hitter on home soil. Obviously it was against the Blue Jays. Paxton who has a large Maple Leaf tattoo on his right forearm, pitches for Seattle Mariners. Last week I asked how many people with Western Manitoba connections were involved with the final four teams in the NHL playoffs. This is my unofficial list: Winnipeg Jets:
• General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff was a Brandon Wheat King from 1986-90 • Assistant GM and director of hockey operations Craig Heisinger was equipment manager of the Wheat Kings from 1984-88 • Athletic Therapist Brad Shaw is from Cardale, MB Las Vegas Golden Knights: • Assistant GM Kelly McCrimmon owns the Brandon Wheat Kings • Assistant coach Ryan Craig was a Wheat King from 1998-2003 • Director of Player Personnel Vaughn Karpan was a Wheat King in 1979-80. Vaughn’s assistant Bob Lowes was the Wheat King coach from 1992-2000 • Shane Hnidy who left the Jets to become the Golden Knights’ TV colour man, is from Neepawa Washington Capitals: • Head Coach Barry Trotz is from Dauphin. Barry played a year of junior in Dauphin, coached the Dauphin Kings and U of M Bisons on his way to the NHL. Tampa Bay Lightning: • What Manitoban in his right mind would want to work in Florida in the winter? This week’s trivia asks if you can name any of three Canadians to win MVP awards in the major baseball league in the last 50 years.

Bridge delay frustrating public works and council By Darci Semeschuk Residents are wondering why a bridge project as small as the old Bailey Bridge replacement on the east side of Victoria Park has taken more than a year to complete. Judging by the look of the project, completion is still a while away. According to Souris Glenwood Public Works manager, Andrew Hamilton who spoke with the engineers regarding the bridge on May 22, council too feels the frustration. “I just spoke with the representative from Stantec Engineering and they have been trying to get the contractor back to complete the job,” Hamilton stated. “They were supposed to be in Souris on May 14 and work through the weekend to get this project wrapped up but nobody showed up.” Hamilton is referring to Armcon Construction, the firm that began the work in June of 2017. The $1.7 million project was slated for a fall completion but delays such as an order from the Department of Fisheries that stated no work could be done on Plum Creek in the spawning season forced it into 2018. Hamilton says that the remaining work includes the asphalt top and barrier rails. Once that is completed there will just be the clean up remaining. Other work happening in Victoria Park includes the completion of eight new campsites along the Souris River. “I know they are having power installed very soon and that’s another reason we need this bridge completed,” stated Hamilton. We need access to the park so that workers can get in and out. We also need this bridge open when we begin the Crescent Avenue project.” Hamilton says that once the Crescent is closed, the community is going to need all available access routes open in case they face detours. “It’s important that this bridge get finished,” Hamilton explained. “We’ve got a lot of things going on in Souris and if a construction company is holding us up then council will be taking another look at the company causing the delay.” Armcon has until June 15 to complete the bridge project.
Pedestrians traverse the bridge that spans the east side of Victoria Park on a sunny May 22. Construction company, Armcon hasn’t been showing up to complete the job and the engineers and council are frustrated with the delay. Final completion date has been pushed to June 15 after which time council will consider other action. PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER

Inspiring people of all cultures: A Virtues Project Workshop submitted The mission of The Virtues Project is to inspire people of all cultures to remember who we really are and to live by our highest values. Love. Kindness. Justice. Service. Virtues are the very meaning and purpose of our lives – the content of our character and the truest expression of our souls. For people of all cultures, ethnicities and beliefs, they are the essence of authentic success. The Virtues Project™ helps us to awaken and deepen our connection with these qualities that give direction to our lives, nurture our relationships and bring passion to our purpose. It offers personal practices that enable us to transform
negativity into virtues language, discern the teachable moments in our tests, set clear boundaries that protect our dignity, our time and our health, establish a daily routine of reverence, and companion our loved ones through the passages of life. St. Paul’s United Church of Souris is hosting a Virtues Project Workshop on Saturday, June 2nd for the whole community. Intended for people in all walks of life, they have invited Christine Ayling of Grande Prairie, Alberta to lead the workshop. The Project is not affiliated with any particular faith but draws its research from all sacred traditions including the oral traditions of First Nations. Christine shared some of her background:
“My favourite and most important hat(s) is that of wife to my husband of 37 years, and mother to my 2 beautiful children. The work and passion of my heart has been the Virtues Project for the past 12 years. My work life is as a medical social worker on a psychiatric unit in our local hospital. I am passionate about the holistic perspective that we bring to the medical arena and the practice of integrity, the critical balance of compassion and detachment, and the humanity that we must bring to the privileged work we are entrusted with all kinds of vulnerable populations. At this time I am particularly concerned with the vulnerability of our folks struggling with mental health issues.
Christine Ayling is a Virtues Project Master Facilitator who has presented over 60 workshops in Canada and the United States. She is passionate about the possibilities this philosophy has for reminding us about what is possible when we embrace our humanity and choose to polish the gems of our character so that we may give the very best of who we are to the world.
Souris Legion News By Gale Collinson Cribbage players used five tables on Wednesday, May 16. Lynne & Gord McDowell finished the evening with the best score. Pat Giesbrecht and Gale Collinson took second prize. Doesn’t happen often, but two teams had the same score for third place. They were Marnie Heath with Betty-Lou Noble and Grant Ewen with Ken Ryckman. Not quite sure how it happened, but Pearl Marshall again won the 50-50 draw. On Thursday, May 17, 27 hopeful noisemakers came out to play bingo. Making three shouts were Betty Devins, Gale Collinson and Larry Neilson. Larry hollered on the Little House and received $40. Double yells came from Cindy Balbar and Cathy Ewen. Our meat draw on Friday, May 18, was a little busier than last week. Wayne Merkley and Keith Davidson took two packages
of meat home. Ed Genaille held the winning ticket on the 50-50 draw and received $92. The Ace of Spades was worth $1,435 and Doris Dron went on the hunt for it. She could not find it so it will be available to some lucky person 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. Chili, biscuits and dessert were on the menu. On Monday, June 11, our Legion will be host to a “Dirty Pour” class instructed by Kathleen Lagasse. This is a way of creating a picture by way of mixing and pouring paint from a cup. Sounds like a lot of fun and it costs only $52.50. All supplies needed are included. Please call the clubroom at 204-483-2659 to reserve a canvas. You won’t be sorry you did. Having a birthday to celebrate this past week was Dave Johnson, Cindy Balbar and Cindy Janz.
My hope for The Virtues Project is that it spreads to every country and finds its way into every school, healthcare organization, university, government and political organization and that it changes how we are in the world and how we treat each other.” A Tlingit elder said, “Life is for learning our lessons.” Virtues are at the heart of lifelong learning. After a virtues keynote talk, an audience member asked, “What is the real age group The Virtues Project fits?” The speaker paused, and said, “Only one age – birth to death.” The website, www.virtuesproject.com provides further details about the project. Please see the Coming Events section of this newspaper for registration information.

Lyme Disease Documentary at Souris Theatre submitted Victims from southwest Manitoba share their struggles with Lyme, a disease transmitted by ticks causing paralysis and heart problems, in a new documentary film premiering in Souris on May 29. “The doctor said, ‘I have no idea what’s going on with you and I’m afraid it’s going to kill you’,” says Ted Turnbull, a honey farmer from Elgin featured in Tick Tick Tock - Lyme Disease in Manitoba. Blacklegged ticks, often as small as a pencil tip, infect an estimated 300,000 North Americans each year with Lyme. Early symptoms include chills, muscle aches and a distinctive bulls-eye rash where the tick bite occurred. Untreated, Lyme can lead to debilitating joint pain, paralysis and cardiac issues. “I couldn’t breathe,” says Brynn Mayo, struck down in her teens by Lyme that was undiagnosed for several years and left her fighting for air and confined to a wheelchair. “It progressed and got worse to things like full amnesia, where I don’t know my parents. I don’t know my home,” recalls Mayo, infected while living on the family farm near Mather MB. Tick Tick Tock - Lyme Disease in Manitoba is produced and directed by Glen Kirby, a filmmaker and publisher of the Southwest Post. “I wanted to increase awareness about Lyme,” says Kirby. “The ticks are here, the disease is here and we need to protect ourselves.” The Manitoba Lyme Disease Support Group reports that many Lyme victims don’t realize they are infected because the symptoms mimic other diseases. Accurate testing has also been problematic. “You might get sick right away. You might have seen the tick. You might never see the tick. You might get sick three months from now because your immune system might be able to keep it down,” says Jan Cmela, a Lyme
victim and advocate. “It can be dormant in you. So, doctors aren’t recognizing that some people who get sick in the middle of winter, or have been sick for years, could have Lyme.” Strong and fit from daily workouts and careful menu planning, Bryce Pettinger from Brandon suffered muscle twitching and partial paralysis traced to Lyme, despite initial testing that came back negative. “I can’t compete in bodybuilding anymore,” explains Pettinger, showing the dozens of pills he was taking each day to combat Lyme and the side effects from treatment. Not every tick carries Lyme and not every tick bite will
transmit the disease but Manitoba Health says the highest risk period is May to July, when ticks are most active in grassy areas. “Our data has shown that only 30 percent of people recall getting a tick bite,” says Dr. Richard Rusk, medical officer with Manitoba Health, “so you could potentially have this rash and these fevers and you’re not really sure why.” May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month. Tick Tick Tock - Lyme Disease in Manitoba will be shown at the Avalon Theatre in Souris at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29. Admission is free with donations gratefully accepted.

Major fire decimates historic downtown block
Brandon Fire Fighters were called out to a blaze that destroyed the historic Christies School Supply building in Brandon on May 19. The blaze spread to nearby buildings, overwhelming the city fire department and they called in reinforcements from Souris, Shilo and Wawanesa. A renovated low income housing unit that housed 98 apartments, Massey Manor was saved but has extensive damage while Christies, a nearby auto shop, a vendor and the former “Mr. B’s” bar were a total write off. Smoke still hangs over the city while the investigaPHOTO/FACEBOOK tion into the blaze continues. Below, Murray Renwick built a Soil Buster for his wife Kim Renwick and her greenhouse. Kim entered it into a contest by Princess Auto called the Ultimate Figure-it-outer and they have now moved to the second round of the contest. It’s open to public votes now and can be seen by googling Princess Auto and the contest name.
