Denbow says she’s not finished yet By Darci Semeschuk With Municipal elections on our doorstep, residents are wondering who is stepping up to take on the role of running Souris Glenwood. One councillor who feels that her role with the municipality is not over yet is Sande Denbow. “I’ve decided to seek re-election for the next four years,” she announced on August 30. “I still feel that I have a lot to offer the people of Souris Glenwood and there’s still several projects that I want to see through to the finish.” One of those projects is the reconstruction of Crescent Ave. For the past decade Souris has been moving funds into a reserve for the project. Now with that money and the matching provincial and federal funds totalling $15 million are allotted, the project was set to roll in 2018 however tendering problems have forced the council to delay that project until 2019. Denbow says she wants to be here to see that through.

“It is very near and dear to people’s hearts. It’s something that will change the face of Souris and it needs to be done well. The people have asked for a beautiful Crescent Avenue and that’s what I want to see that they get.” Denbow has served the people of Souris and later, Souris Glenwood for eight years. She loves the community and is dedicated to moving it forward. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have really good support from a lot of people in Souris and I hope that continues into the next four years,” she remarked. “I am the local girl who left and later came back. After the city life I value Souris so much more. Small towns are often left out the loop with government and I’m committed to fighting for our small town life. Things don’t fall into your lap. They need to be worked for and sometimes it’s difficult and you have to work at it.” With the 2019 election leading into the sec-

ond term as an amalgamated council, Denbow says there is still a lot of work to do. Another project she’s like to see completed is the Forrest Avenue subdivision. Lots in that subdivision are selling but she’d like to see them all gone. Additionally, Denbow says they are working to keep the roads in the entire municipality in great shape. “We’ve worked hard to keep the roads up to expectations but we have more work to do,” she remarked. “It’s important to keep lobbying government for funding for infrastructure. You can’t stop or you’ll be forgotten.” Denbow says she’s proud of all that Souris has accomplished in the past eight years that she’s been on council. “We’ve worked hard to keep Souris a vibrant and healthy community,” she stated. “Looking at the new hotel and all the new bridge replacements I feel we’re looking good. It’s also great to see the ballpark and campground

ting up their businesses in a community, you know you’re doing something right,” she said. “I’ve seen young people opening restaurants, hair shops, construction companies.

These are the people of our future and we need to create a friendly business atmosphere to ensure they thrive.” Denbow asks for you vote on October 24.

New Handi-Van will address needs of all By Darci Semeschuk A new Handi-Van is on the way but for local resident Dolly Wilson who lives life in a wheel chair it’s too little too late. Wilson’s only mode of transportation is the Handi-Van and unfortunately for her, and for anyone else who needs that mode of transportation to get around, the Handi-Van wheelchair lift has been out of commission for months. She took to Facebook as a last resort to air her frustration at what she considers the lack of attention to

this matter at the council level. “I’m a person who uses a wheelchair and I depend on the Souris Handi-Van, as do many others, for Brandon and Souris medical appointments and monthly shopping trips,” wrote Dolly Wilson on her Facebook page September 3. “Last time we used the Handi-Van was March 21 this year.” When she inquired, Wilson was told that the lift was broken. “In April we were told the motor of the lift was broken and

parts were obsolete,” she went on to say. “I wrote a letter to the Mayor dated May 25, regarding this issue, and dropped it off at the Civic Centre. I spoke with him in June and he never received the letter and was unaware of the problem and would look into immediately. July we were told that a mechanic was going to check it out. It’s been six months now! We’ve had to cancel cardiologist, cancer biopsy, mammogram appointments, just to name a few!”

Wilson feels let down by the system at the Civic Centre. “We feel that some people at the Civic Centre office don’t give a damn! Meanwhile the Handi-Van travels to Brandon and around Souris for those that are ambulatory,” wrote in frustration. “Can someone fix it?” Handi-Van driver Linda Ryckman confirms that the lift has been broken for months. “I did take it into Brandon in March to have it looked at and then again to Tuft’s machining

about a month ago,” she said. ‘I don’t know where it is at right now.” In reply to Dolly Wilson’s questions on Facebook, the new Economic development Officer for Souris Glenwood, Echo Finlay wrote that she had attended the last two council meetings and that a motion to approve the purchase of a new HandiVan had been approved. Souris Glenwood Chief Administrative Officer Charlotte Parham also confirmed that the Handi-Van lift is out of

commission but was unsure exactly how long it has been. “We did have it looked at in Brandon but the cost was over $5,000 for a motor and pump and that’s more than the van is worth,” she said. ”Tuft’s Machining has since agreed to look for used parts to get it up and running. We don’t have a date or cost amount for that.” In fact the current Handi-Van is a 2002 model that Parham says isn’t worth the $5,000 it would Continued on Page 6

Making lemonade from lemons funds local projects By Becky Smith (who writes as Rebekah Lee Jenkins) At the book launch for Hope in Oakland, on June 8, 2018, you may have noticed three girls wearing lemon dresses, on the beautiful grounds of Hillcrest Museum. Sophia Henderson decided that this would be the perfect venue for a vintage lemonade stand where she could give the proceeds to charity. She was right. Her parents, happy with her initiative to sell lemonade, got to work building the lemonade stand, and cheerfully stocked it. Her sister Olivia and her cousin Meika were quick to get in on the action. Souris, in their usual fashion, was behind the project from the start. Many shared her invite on their Facebook feeds and agreed to allow her to hang posters in their businesses. Due to the tremendous support from the Souris and Glen-

wood community, she collected $80.70 for the Souris School Playground and $80.70 for the Souris Food Bank. Today, she was able to give the funds to Caroline Cory, superintendent of the School Division and Linda Perrin, secretary at the Town Office (with an official tax receipt and everything, even though Sophia does not pay taxes yet… a good life lesson for later!) If you wish to make cash donations to the school ground, please see the secretaries in the office at the Souris School. Cash donations for the Souris Food Bank (complete with a tax receipt) can be made at the Souris and Glenwood Civic Centre. On behalf of Sophia and her assistants, a big thank you to the Town of Souris and surrounding area, for your kind and generous support of this initiative.

EDITORIAL Right in the centre - Help is on the way? By Ken Waddell The federal government has promised us that help is on the way. God spare us! The federal government is already spending well beyond its current level of income and, as a result, is building up the debt at an alarming rate. Their next help line is a proposed national Pharmacare program. Surveys are being conducted asking people if they want such a program. Considering that drugs are fairly expensive and that some drugs are very expensive, of course people will want “free” drugs. But free isn’t free. Somebody, somewhere will pay for the drugs and if a national Pharmacare is put in place, it will be the taxpayers who pay for it, When medicare came in in 1938 at a voluntary municipal level in Saskatchewan, I believe it was a first for Canada. It was well over 20 years later before Canada’s much touted father of medicare, Premier Tommy Douglas, brought in medicare in Saskatchewan. A small insurance premium was charged and that was a good thing. In fact, Manitoba charged a small fee until the early 1970s. Cancelling the fee was bad thing. Medicare should have retained the fees. It should also have retained the reporting system, whereby medicare services were listed and that list sent to each citizen. Considering those lists were made up in the day of manual records, how much easier would it be to keep track today? When we go a chiropractor, we pay a partial fee. Why not when we go to a doctor? It would make sense. None of us want to go to the U.S. system, where a patient must pay for health premiums or actual costs. The U.S. system provides quick care and it seems it provides

On Meth, Pallister Government has been Missing In Action for Months

good care, but the cost for an uninsured patient can be so costly that low income people sometimes have to decide between buying food or health care. That said, a health care premium and a medical user fee would make sense. And so it would with drugs. A national Pharmacare program is really scary. Whenever the government gets involved, the costs skyrocket. This whole process is going to need some debate, but I somehow doubt the ability of parties or politicians to get it right. Let’s look at another example of how screwed up a government-run program can get. We had an example last week. There was serious highway accident. The alarm was sent in and fire, police and ambulance crews were all dispatched. STARS was called and arrived very quickly, but not quite before the patients were on their way to the hospital by ground ambulance. All good so far. STARS is advised to meet the crew at the hospital. Not good. The hospital in question had a temporarily licensed landing pad, but rules have changed and it can’t be used any more. STARS is redirected to the airport. Then a third ambulance had to come from somewhere to transport the STARS crew to the hospital and wait for patients. I am sure that all the rules are well-intentioned and

seem to be necessary, but the point is that when you have several layers of rule makers involved, you get confusion and sometimes worse. Here’s another airport related rule. When a municipality or partnering municipalities respond to provincial rules that say they “must” build a new garbage dump, they go looking for a site. Transport department rules forbid a dump being within several miles of an airport. The theory is that dumps have seagulls flocking there and the gulls could be a hazard to the airport. Here’s another example that is really stupid. Sometimes, a person becomes homeless and at the same time, needs social assistance. Obviously, provincial housing would be an answer. Not so fast. Before they can get housing, they have to get social assistance. Before they can get social assistance, they have to have housing. Further complicating that, housing and social assistance are in different departments or at least they used to be. Further complicating that, the offices may be in different cities. When we ask the government to “do it all” for us, we need to be wary of what we ask for. Any time decisions are being made for us by people who have no economic reason to save time, effort or costs, we are likely in trouble.

Submitted by Dougald Lamont August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day and Manitoba Liberals are once again calling on the Pallister government to act on Manitoba’s growing meth crisis. Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont and Health Critic Dr. Jon Gerrard say the PC’s knew about Manitoba’s growing meth crisis when they were elected two and a half years ago, but have done little or nothing to act to save lives or prevent more people from falling victim to the drug. “There are clear steps the Manitoba government should be taking now to tackle meth, and using revenues from legalized cannabis could pay for it,” said Lamont. “Meth isn’t just driving up Manitoba’s crime rate, it is leaving a trail of hurt in its wake - from addicts and their families to victims of crime,” said Gerrard. The Liberals say the Pallister government needs to wake up to the grim reality that meth is a different type of drug, and that action is needed now to stem the tide and start preventing further deaths. This week, Manitoba’s Chief Medical Examiner’s office reports the number of deaths from meth has doubled in the last year, from 17 to 35, and the number

Rochelle Squires, Minister of Sustainable Development Manitobans have questions about the carbon tax that is coming in a few months. You want to know how it will impact you, your family and our economy. And of course you want to know why it is coming in the first place. Your concerns

are sincere and deserve a response, so let’s start by understanding how we got here. Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government in Ottawa has decided that there must be a nationwide carbon tax. They have repeatedly threatened to force such a tax on provinces that do not implement their own. As Saskatchewan and Ontario are now doing,

our government considered taking legal action to fight the tax. We obtained a legal opinion regarding the legality of the federal government’s approach. The conclusion was that Ottawa has the power to impose a carbon tax on provinces that do not introduce their own. In other words, Manitoba gets the Trudeau tax if we

of overdoses from meth has doubled from four to eight. The Bear Clan reports finding 40,000 needles. Earlier this summer, Winnipeg Police released stats showing that in one-third of Winnipeg’s 24 murders were connected to meth. Between 2016 and 2017, robberies increased 21 per cent, drug possession charges increased 64 per cent, and meth-related calls for service were up by a factor of 10. Break-ins, home invasions and robberies all increased as well. Aggravated assaults were up by 42 per cent increase over the city’s five-year average. Earlier this year, on January 9, Liberals provided concrete suggestions for the government to act, starting with prevention and intervention programs, as specific recommendations for effective treatment, especially for meth. The Pallister government cut funding to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba by $800,000 instead. Prevention and Intervention Create a province-wide public awareness campaign against meth, including print, web and traditional media. Fund anti-gang and intervention programs so that young people can choose positive options before they are drawn into crime and drugs. Better Treatment

Create “drug stabilization units” where people in meth withdrawal can be held and so they can’t hurt themselves or others. Fund transitional housing with mental health supports, and provide further housing for people so they can recover in full. Meth is low-cost, highly addictive, leaves users high for hours, and can easily lead to psychosis, where users may be delusional or violent. Unlike heroin or opioids like fentanyl, for which there are treatment alternatives like methadone, meth has no substitute medication to help users cope with withdrawal. That’s why Liberals say medically supervised sites or “safe injection sites” for meth aren’t enough: “drug stabilization units” are required instead. Lamont says that he has spoken with frontline workers who say that Manitoba’s lack of affordable treatment facilities for addiction means that families are putting themselves at risk of bankruptcy trying to pay for private treatment, because public spaces are unavailable. “The costs of ignoring this is breaking families, and if the government used revenue from cannabis sales on prevention, intervention and treatment, we could save tens of millions we are currently paying dealing with addictions in jail and in hospitals,” said Lamont.

How will the Carbon Tax affect you? don’t have our own plan. If we say no, we get Trudeau. It’s either made-in-Ottawa or Made-in-Manitoba. Under the Trudeau plan, however, the tax would be collected by the federal government – more than $1 billion over four years, at rising rates set by Ottawa – with no guarantee Manitobans would get any of that money back.

Doing nothing is not an option. Our government is not prepared to send a billion dollars to Ottawa and hope it comes back someday. We have a duty to defend the interests of Manitobans, and that is what we are doing. After more than a year of consultations with Manitobans like you, environmental Continued on Page 6

While repots indicate that north of Souris rainfall in the amounts of one-half to one inch were reported but that wasn’t the story in Souris and southwest Manitoba. Souris rain gauges were showing between 2.5 – 4 inches of rain. South of Souris at Pat Janz’s farm, six inches of rain fell. Constant lightning and damaging winds and some hail were reported. Manitoba Agriculture released its Weekly Provincial Summary on September 4: Warm and dry condi-

Spring cereal yields have been better than expected with high protein and good quality. Dugout levels very low in most of the province, livestock being moved to water or water being brought in. Baling of pastures, hayland, ditches, sloughs, greenfeed and harvested cereal straw continues. Southwest Region Another dry and windy week let producers continue with harvest.
