Western Financial Group donation pushes fundraiser past $38,000 By Darci Semeschuk Western Financial Group has donated $5000 to the Souris Health Auxiliary to be used towards the purchase of a portable ultra sound for the Souris Health Centre. That $5000 has pushed the Auxiliary’s funds raised to $38,000, just two thousand dollars short of their goal of $40,000. “We are very pleased to receive this donation from Western Financial,” stated Health Auxiliary president, Shelia Holyoake. “It’s good to know that we are close to our final fundraising goal. Anything we can do to help our health facility stay open in Souris is a good thing for the community. In a time when health facilities are closing and emergency rooms are closing, it’s more important than ever to be up to date.” Holyoake explained that the ultra sound that they had intended to purchase was $40,000 however, their health professional, Dr. David Cram recently attended a medical conference and there is new technology available that will better suit the needs of Souris and area and he has asked the Auxiliary to hold off on a purchase of any machine until further research has been done. “All of the doctors have been or will be trained on using the portable ultra sound,” explained Holyoake. “They have done that at their own expense and are willing to do it as need arises. They’re the professionals and we will heed their advise on a purchase.” Holyoake believes that the ultra sound that they are looking at now is somewhere in the neighbourhood of $70,000. “This is a very important diagnostic tool,” she explained. “We want to provide the best that we can in order to help keep our hospital open.” Continued on Page 2

By Darci Semeschuk It’s been a while but many residents will remember the Southwest Cougars Dinner At Your Door fundraiser with fond memories. It was a popular event with families and especially the seniors and it was a great fundraiser for the hockey club. In fact they raised between $6,000 and $7,000 every time they held the November event. The team held that fundraiser from 1995 until recent years when fewer players were from Souris. If your memory goes back even farther, you’ll remember that the actually a Souris Daycare fundraiser started from an idea that then-board member Brenda Morris had when she had children in the facility. “We had a lot of local players and a families that were happy to take part in something and we needed to raise some money,” she explained. “The Dinner at your Door was something we could do, it was easy and people re-

ally enjoyed it.” Morris says the Daycare did the fundraiser for a while and eventually they moved on to other things. When Morris’s nephew, Mark Hume played with the Cougars, she heard they were looking for a fundraiser so suggested the idea might work for them. Well work it did until recently when that club also moved in a different direction. Fast forward to 2018, Morris is back on the Daycare board as personnel director and she says they are in dire need of funds. With the Cougars no longer doing the Dinner at your Door, Morris asked long-time Cougar manager, Grant Moffatt if he would pass the spatula back to the Daycare and he agreed. “I called Grant and he was happy to pass it on and he is even getting some information together for us so we have an idea how they handled the event,” Morris explained. “He seemed happy that it would continue as it is a good event for people.”

Daycare raising funds through a community favourite

Although they don’t know exactly when the dinner will be, a committee of 13 people has been formed and plans are in the works so a date for the Daycare Dinner at your Door will be forth coming. “They have brainstormed ideas and this came out of that meeting,” she said. Currently, the Daycare is not operating with a full contingent of board members. They have seven members but only six voting members and they are actively seeking a new member. The cost of kitchen renovations was higher than the $100,000 expected because of flooring that was done with no plan on how it was going to be paid for. The cost escalated to $125,000 leaving the Daycare board with bills to pay and no money to pay them. “It’s very serious, I would say dire right now,” she said. “We have a contractor that hasn’t been paid, we have monthly bills we didn’t pay and we are literally using our last nickel just to pay staff Continued on Page 2

Dinner at Your Door fundraiser for Souris Daycare comes full circle

Continued from Front Morris says that they can no longer access any funds from the bank; they are at the maximum that they can borrow. Some parents, according to her have prepaid childcare costs just to assist with the problem and it is dire. “We need to raise money and we need to start right now,” she explained. “We can’t continue with prepaid child care because that for cash flow down the road. We need to raise money now.” The Daycare needs to raise approximately

$50,000 to get them into a solvent position. While the Dinner at your Door is just a start, you can expect some aggressive fundraising activities to come out of the Daycare in the near future. Although the financial concerns at the Daycare are a concern, the actual Daycare itself is in good shape. They have a full contingent of children with 13 infants and 25 preschool children on the waiting list. They also have 30 before school and 15 – 20 after school. They have recently been relicensed by the Government of Manitoba.

The Souris Daycare is in high gear planning fundraising activities to help them recover from shortfalls over the past year. High costs of renovations and bills that haven’t been paid have forced the Daycare board to begin an aggressive fundraising campaign. While it’s not the major fundraiser planned, it will be a popular one. Back after more than twenty years, it’s going to be Dinner at your Door. This popular event was first a Daycare funddraiser and then a Southwest Cougar fundraiser. Now it’s come full circle back to the Daycare. Always popular, the Dinner at your Door event raised close to $7000 for PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER the Cougars. No date has been set for the event.

Health Auxiliary has funded many projects Continued from Front She said the Auxiliary doesn’t have a plan as yet on how they will raise the next $30,000 to fund the updated ultra sound but heard that an anonymous donor has made a large donation to the Auxiliary. “I don’t know how much has been donated. I only heard it was substantial.” The Health Auxiliary committee is made up of former nurses, teachers and other professional women and has funded many different projects for health care in Souris. They have purchased beds for the palliative Care, specialized chairs for patients, phlebotomy carts, and many other health related donations.

A cheque for $1,500 was presented to the Souris Elks Lodge #21 for funds to go towards the building of a Cookhouse in the playground/park in Souris – construction is to start in late spring 2018.

Western Financial Group has donated to other causes in Souris as well as the Health Auxiliary. In total Souris Minor Ball received $2433.50. “The grant we handed out today is one of 45 $5,000 grants totalling $225,000 that The Western Communities Foundation awarded on December 28, 2017,” explained Bonnie Radcliffe of Western Financial Group in Souris.

Souris Legion news

By Gale Collinson Cribbage players used 4 ½ tables on January 31. The highest score was made by Alva and Don Doherty. The 2nd and 3rd place prizes had to be combined and split between Henry Maryniuk with Darrel Barker and Joan Philips with Betty Devins as they finished with the same score. The 50-50 money was won by Vonda Bodin. We had only 16 people out to play bingo on Thursday, February 1, so the pots weren’t very big. Guess that’s why some people made more noise than others. Marie Neilson and Viola Logan shouted four times and Cindy Janz had three yells. Making two hollers were Gladys Skoc, Barb Gordon, Lee Johnson, Gale Collinson and Marge Rose. The Little House was worth $20 and split between Marie Neilson and Gladys Skoc.

Our meat draw on Friday, February 2, was a little slower than last week, probably due to the Ace of Spaces payout. Nancy Birks took home two meat packages, as did Wayne Merkley. Ardelle Woods held the lucky ticket on the 50-50 draw, which was worth $100. Gale Collinson won the chance to take home $283.50 from the Ace of Spaces pot but was unable to find the right card. So, it will be wroth more next week. A tasty supper of turkey and all the trimmings was offered after the draws were finished. We gave congratulations to Marge Edgerton for her birthday on Saturday, February 3rd, and to Marion Morris for her birthday on Monday, February. On St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th, we are planning to hold a “Fun Bonspiel”. There is a sign up sheet in the clubroom. More details will follow.

Hotel opening getting closer Work continues on the new Souris Hotel and seniors apartment complex.

They are hoping to get the apartments open soon after more than four months of delays. Pictured here, workers from Brandon unload a lift of drywall into the facility. PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER

Souris Glenwood Foundation – Donations and Grants The goal of the Souris Glenwood Foundation is to build a pool of capital, which will be held in perpetuity, using he interest generated from grant money. The goal of the Foundation is to better the quality of life in the community and surrounding area. The principal pool of money is invested, and only the interest generated is used for grants that support many worthwhile community projects. In 2017, there were ten community groups that received $9,050 in total. What helps to build the principal pool of money — Your personal donations, In Memoriam donations, Estate donations, Donor’s Choice, Endow Manitoba contributions, and lawn fertilizer sales. These all help to increase the principal pool of money. The more principal money donated, the more interest money generated, providing more grant money to help community projects. (In 2017, the Boissevain & Morton Foundation paid out $132,000 in grants in their community. WOW! Wouldn’t that be great if we could do the same in the future?) With the upcoming 25th Celebration and Fundraising Evening in April, the Souris Glenwood Foundation Board members hope to increase the principal pool of money for the Foundation. Watch for posters and come out to a fun evening with comedian, Matt Falk. Remember: “Your gift goes on giving forever in our community.”

Letter to Editor

Dear Editor, Minister of Sustainable Development Rochelle Squires has shown sound leadership by introducing The Sustainable Watersheds Act. Combined with robust regulations, the new legislation will protect certain classes of wetlands and enable Manitobans to better control the flow and quality of water. Premier Brian Pallister and his government have acted promptly on the principles of the recent Made in Manitoba Climate and Green Plan in advancing this legislation. All Manitobans stand to benefit from the act’s protection of wetlands. They filter water, protect us from flooding and drought, and provide habitat for a variety of wildlife. Those benefits extend to climate change. When wetlands are drained and destroyed, carbon is released into the atmosphere. If wetlands are protected in Manitoba this could stop the on-going release of 284.5 million tonnes of global-warming carbon dioxide – 20 years worth of emissions from three million cars. The coming months will be crucial as the government and other stakeholders work to shape new regulations to accompany the Act - regulations that conserve and restore wetlands. Timing is critical, as until the Act passes and strong regulations are developed Manitoban’s will continue to lose wetlands at an alarming rate. DUC supports embedding “no net loss” of wetlands goal in the new regulations where wetlands are maintained and replaced when lost to development. With the passing of the new Act introduced by Minister Squires, and the development of strong regulations under the Act, Manitoban’s will have reached a “watershed” moment in conservation.

Sports Ramblings

The Souris School JV Girls traveled to Winnipeg last weekend for tournament action at Immanuel Christian. The ladies played well all weekend, losing their first game to Niverville 36-29, then rebounding to defeat Dufferin Christian Friday evening 58-22. This had the team in the consolation final against Morris. The team played fantastic as they captured the win with a 45-16 final. Well done girls!

By Dale McKinnon The Deloraine-Hartney Colts had two more wins last weekend, defeating McCreary 4-2 Friday and Swan River 6-3 on Saturday. Tanner Ardron and Grady Franklin had 2 points each Friday while Zac Maddess, Ardron and Braydon Teetaert each scored 2 goals Saturday. The Colts are 14-7. How good is curling in Manitoba? You could drive 45 minutes east on #3 highway last month and watch the top two teams in Canada which also means the top teams in the world. Manitoba vs Manitoba in the Women’s finals was fun to watch. Thank goodness for technology so we could catch the Super Bowl final and the curling when they ended at almost the same minute. Kaitlyn Crowe’s U of Regina Cougars split a weekend series in Calgary. The U of Manitoba Bisons are ranked 2nd in the country with a 20-6 record. On the U of M Bisons roster is Allison Sexton from Stonewall who is the daughter of Marty Seton. Marty was an excellent volleyball and baseball player from Deloraine who was the pharmacist in Stonewall before he lost his life in a tragic accident a couple of years ago. Mark Scheifele is practicing again for the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs are the only Canadian teams in play-off positions. The Jets have more points and I am hoping TSN remembers to acknowledge this some day! A Leaf-jet NHL final would be an exciting event. Kyle Sambrook’s team got their first victory at the Viterra Manitoba championships with an 8-5 win over Sean Grassie. Westman curler Travis Brooks was the all-star second playing for Steve Irwin. The answer to last week’s trivia is Duane Edwards and Jack Edwards. This week’s question asks what Western Manitoba NHLer led the NHL in plus-minus in 1967-68.

Cancer Information Service helps people affected by cancer

submitted Jan MacVinnie knows how much stress and anxiety a cancer can bring. For the last 25 years, Jan has been manager of the Canadian Cancer Society’s (CCS) Cancer Information Service, a national, toll-free service for people with cancer and their caregivers, family members and friends. Every day, more than 34,200 people reach out to CCS for trusted information and caring support about cancer – and they receive it, by phone or online, 24/7. “The calls we get are from people across Canada,” Jan says. “The other day I received a call from a woman who had just learned she has uterine cancer. She got up the courage after a sleepless night to call us. I was able to give her some information about her diagnosis and the usual treatment options, and I think that helped ease her anxiety a little.” February 4 is World Cancer Day. On any given day, more than 800,000 Canadians are living with cancer. 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. A new report from the Canadian Partnership Against Can-

cer presents compelling data about the experience of people living with and beyond cancer. The report finds that more than half of people with cancer have debilitating physical and emotional challenges and many indicate significant practical challenges during the diagnosis, treatment and survivorship stages. The findings suggest that for many Canadians with cancer, these concerns are not being adequately addressed. “We get hundreds of calls a day and every person’s situation is different,” says MacVinnie. “Some people call because they have cancer in their family and they want to know how to prevent it. Others are patients who are worried about coping emotionally or how they’re going to make ends meet while they’re off work. Some want to understand more about their specific diagnosis and treatment options. All our cancer information specialists are trained to listen and understand each

person’s needs and then try to help as much as possible.” Thanks to support from donors and volunteers, the Canadian Cancer Society offers a variety of programs and services for people affected by cancer, including transportation, lodges, support and information programs. For example, today, volunteer drivers will take cancer patients on 878 rides to essential appointments. This service means they can get the treatment they need. Today, 268 people receiving treatment far from home woke up in a CCS lodge – a warm and comforting home-away-from-home that allows them to focus on getting better rather than worrying about traveling long distances for treatment. And on any given day, CCS funds 300 of the brightest minds in Canada doing the most promising cancer research to improve and save lives.
