100 Bells will toll on November 11th By Darci Semeschuk As a remembrance of those who served in the First World War, the Royal Canadian Legion is leading an initiative to have bells toll across the country as they did a century ago when the guns fell silent on November 11, 1918. On November 11, at the going down of the sun, communities across Canada will mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War with the ringing of 100 bells. The ringing of bells emulates the moment in 1918 when church bells across Europe tolled as four years of war had come to an end. The community of Souris will participate in 100 Bells. At sundown, approximately 5:10 p.m. the Souris Bell will toll 100 times. Descendants of those who fought in WWI are encouraged to come out to the Bell on Crescent Avenue to observe the remembrance. When you hear the bells toll on November 11, take a moment to pause and remember all those who served and sacriﬁced.

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae

In Flanders ﬁelds the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, ﬂy Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

Flags were laid at the cenotaph in the Souris Cemetery in honour of our fallen veterans. On November 11 at sundown the Souris Bell will join bells across Canada in marking 100 years since the end of World War I. The Bell will toll 100 times.

Local Doctor Set To Receive National Award Submitted by Prairie Mountain Health A Neepawa doctor has been nominated to receive a national award for his leadership role while he was a University of Manitoba (U of M) medical resident within Prairie Mountain Health region. Dr. Jordan Cram, who hails from Souris, served as Chief Resident of the U of M’s Max Rady College of Medicine — Parkland Family Medicine Residency Unit— in 2017/2018. Dr. Cram completed his residency this past year and commenced medical practice in Neepawa in August 2018. Dr. Cram was nominated to receive the 2018 College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) Resident Leadership Award through the Parkland Family Medicine Residency Unit. He will be receiving the recognition at a ceremony slated for mid-November in Toronto. “Dr. Cram was a key part of the residency program for two years and was chief resident dur-

ing the last year,” said Dr. Scott Kish, Director of the Parkland Family Medicine Residency Unit. “He immediately stepped into a leadership role assisting his colleagues leading various team meetings, reviews and eventually overseeing the resident call schedule at Dauphin Regional Health Centre. He led sessions for the Rural Residency Education Program for year-two students and specific sessions for the Rural Health Mentorship Program for pre-medical students. As a program leader, and an engaged and responsive resident that we relied on in every aspect of the program, it is without hesitation we nominated Dr. Cram for the award,” Kish stated. Dr. Cram, whose father is also a family doctor in Souris, says he’s very appreciative for the recognition. “I’m very thankful and humbled quite frankly,” Dr. Cram added. “I see the award more as a testament to the amazing preceptors, administrative staff, and

fellow residents that I had the honour to work with during my residency. Medicine is an extremely broad area of expertise and every doctor has his or her own ‘flavour’ or approach to practice. Having the opportunity to be exposed to these varied approaches was an invaluable experience. I couldn’t have asked for better mentors during my training.” The CFPC Family Medicine Resident Leadership Awards recognize outstanding senior family medicine residents for their advocacy efforts, academic achievements and oral presentation skills. The award ceremony will take place at the Toronto Convention Centre during the Family Medicine Forum November 14-17. In preparation for this Health Plus newsletter article, Prairie Mountain Health put forward some questions to Dr. Cram. Below are questions and answers from that interview request that we thought our readers might find interesting. Can you tell me a bit

Local doctor nominated for national award Dr. Jordan Cram has been nominated to receive a national award for his leadership role while he was a University of Manitoba (U of M) medical resident within Prairie Mountain Health region. Dr. Cram is seen here with his father Dr. David Cram, long-time Souris physician at the annual Student Rural Interest Group (RIG) in Brandon in 2014. PHOTO/PRAIRIE MOUNTAIN HEALTH about your background and how you decided that Family Medicine was the career for you? I grew up in Souris where I attended school until grade 9. I finished my schooling in Winnipeg. At this point, it was clear that whatever career I ended up pursuing, it

would be in a rural area. My father is a family physician in Souris so I was exposed to the profession at a very young age and was instantly drawn to it. In the end, I am very fortunate that I was able to find a career that I truly enjoy doing. Coming from a smaller

rural community, would you say that it helped to shape your understanding of what some of the benefits, and challenges, were in terms of being a family doctor outside bigger centres? Practicing medicine in general can be very Continued on Page 4

EDITORIAL Consumer beware: Check history of American vehicles prior to purchase Submitted by MPI With recent flooding on the east coast of the United States, in particular the states of Florida and the Carolinas, Manitoba Public Insurance is advising anyone looking to purchase a vehicle from the United States to carefully check the status of the vehicle before they close the deal. Failing to do so could result in financial loss and the vehicle not being al-

lowed into Canada. “Vehicle branding rules in the U.S. and inspections conducted by the Registrar of Imported Vehicles upon entry to Canada, flood-damaged vehicles may not be allowed to be registered in Manitoba,” said Satvir Jatana, vice-president responsible for communications, Manitoba Public Insurance. “To avoid a financial

loss, consumers should to do their homework prior to making a used vehicle purchase. Due to severe weather fronts, tens of thousands of newer model vehicles were likely flooded or heavily damaged due to hurricanes and flooding. Many of these vehicles will be resold to unsuspecting consumers.” Water-damaged vehicles can potentially be

dangerous. Water can enter electronic components of vehicles, causing corrosion and malfunctioning of important safety features such as airbags. There may also be health concerns because of mold and other toxins. Consumers can check the history of a vehicle from the U.S. by going to http://flood.carfax.com. Not branded “flood” damaged

Even if a vehicle is not branded as a flood-damaged vehicle, this doesn’t necessarily mean it did not suffer water damage. In some cases vehicle damages may not have been reported through vehicle insurers with owners repairing the vehicle and then selling it privately. In such cases a VIN search is only one of the steps a person should take before purchasing a used

vehicle. Here are a few more tips: · Have the vehicle inspected by a trusted and certified automotive technician before purchase. · Check for damp or musty odours. · Check for any signs of rust or mud in the trunk, glove box and beneath the seats. · Check under the hood and look for a water line marked by mud or silt.

Endow Manitoba, 24-hour giving challenge submitted Souris Glenwood Foundation will be once again participating in the annual Endow Manitoba 24-Hour Giving Challenge on Saturday, November 17. This is an annual initiative of the Winnipeg Foundation to promote community foun-

Each $5 donation will be worth $7, up to $4000 for each community foundation. The Souris Glenwood Foundation would like to encourage people to make donations on this Endow Manitoba campaign so that we can receive the stretched dollars. It

would be great to receive the $4000 if we receive enough donations. On Saturday, November 17 donations can be received online with your credit card at www. endowmanitoba.ca. Donations can also be made with a phone call to the Winnipeg Foundation of-

fice on the same day. Toll Free 1-877-974-3631 There are some people who would prefer to make a donation by cheque. This can be done on Thursday, November 15 in the lobby of the Municipal Office from 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Souris Glenwood Foundation Board

Members will be there to answer questions and accept donations for the Endow Manitoba campaign. The Souris Glenwood Foundation is a great way to support your hometown today, tomorrow and forever. “Your gift goes on giving forever in our community”

Governors general shouldn’t be billing taxpayers after they’ve left office By Aaron Wudrick, Federal Director, Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation (This column originally appeared in the Toronto Sun) Have you ever had a job that comes with a generous expense account? How about one where you get to keep your expense account even after you leave the job? If this sounds too good to be true, you haven’t heard about the great deal Canada’s governors general have been getting for the last forty years. As the Queen’s representative in Canada, serving as governor general is arguably the most prestigious appointment in politics, with most serving for between five and

seven years. While often described as a “figurehead,” there is no denying that, constitutionally, the governor general plays an important ceremonial role in our system of government. As you might expect for such a position, the role comes with a lot of perks, including a salary of $288,000, a large staff, and an official residence (Rideau Hall) with 175 rooms. But perhaps the most surprising perks of all come after a governor general has left office. First, there is an inflation-adjusted pension of $143,000 per year. Not a bad return for five years of work. Then, there’s the

“start-up grant” for exgovernors general who want to establish a charity. Former governor general Adrienne Clarkson received $3 million to create the Institute for Canadian Citizenship. But the real kicker is that on top of all this, ex-governors general can still bill taxpayers for “expenses” for years after they’ve left office. And taxpayers don’t even get to know what it’s for. Current access to information laws doesn’t cover the governor general (or Parliament itself, for that matter), so we don’t even get to know what we’re paying for. This shocking policy first came to light in 2011 when it was re-

ported that Clarkson had billed taxpayers for more than $500,000 for “temporary” secretarial help since leaving office in 2005. Clarkson defended the expenses as necessary for her to deal with correspondence and requests for speaking engagements that continued to come in after her term as governor general ended. Fast forward to 2018 and apparently Clarkson’s “temporary” needs have become permanent: her bill to taxpayers for expenses now stands at more than $1.1 million. Interestingly, the expenses for a former governor general only appear in the public accounts as a separate line item if they exceed $100,000

— and since 1995, only two former governors general have gone over that threshold — Romeo LeBlanc twice (2008 and 2009) and Clarkson, who billed taxpayers for six figures a staggering nine of the 12 years since she left office. Being flippant with taxpayer’s money is nothing new for Clarkson, who served from 1999 to 2005, and while in office was criticized for nearly doubling her predecessor’s spending and overshooting her budget for a trip to northern Canada by $4 million. But as with most generous government policies it’s hard to blame the people with access to them for taking advantage

of them. We can, however blame governments for not fixing them. It’s hard to believe that in 40 years, no government bothered to fix this policy — especially once it became public in 2011. Righting this wrong can’t come too soon. The Trudeau government should act, and they have good reason to since they’re already running deficits twice the size they promised. To get back to a balanced budget, they’re going to need to find savings anywhere they can. Eliminating this unlimited, secretive expense account for former governors general would be a great place to start.

Rural practice unique and rewarding Continued from Page 2 rewarding but I think rural practice is even more special. As a child, I was able to see first-hand the personal relationship rural doctors in my area had developed with their patients and the amount of passion they invested into their care. As a rural family doctor, the scope of practice is very broad. You can start your day by delivering a baby and end it by caring for a palliative care patient in the care home. It is very unique and rewarding. You undertook your residency in Dauphin, as well as a Family Medicine Clerkship there. For those not familiar with how those two pieces of further learning work, can you expand a little bit? Medical school is four (4) years, during which a portion of it is spent as a clerk (third year medical student). As a medical clerk, time is spent in the hospital working in a supervised role and caring for patients while simultaneously studying for exams. You rotate through core rotations in every specialty to gain diverse exposure and experience. It is meant to expose students to all facets of medicine and help them decide on what specialty they want to pursue. I completed my family medicine rotation in Dauphin. Additionally, I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in a unique summer exposure program in which I spent a total of 14 weeks of my summers during my first two years of medical school working in Ste. Rose and Dauphin. These were great experiences that confirmed my desire to pursue rural family medicine. Following the four years of medical school, everyone is required to

apply for extra training in their specialty of choice, or residency I was fortunate enough to complete my two-year residency in the rural family medicine program in Dauphin. This consisted of clinical duties spent in the clinic, hospital, Emergency Department, operating room, and personal care home. I take it you had some very good preceptors, especially during your time in Dauphin/Ste. Rose as part of the Parkland Residency Unit. Can you briefly comment on those experiences? I was extremely fortunate to work with, and learn from, so many amazing doctors throughout my training. Medicine is an extremely broad area of expertise and every doctor has his or her own “flavour” or approach to practice. Having the opportunity to be exposed to these varied approaches was an invaluable experience. I couldn’t have asked for better mentors during my training — I was very fortunate. You served as Chief Resident for the Unit in 2018, correct? What would you say were the most interesting aspects of that role, and how do you feel it benefitted you? Serving as Chief Resident was a very humbling experience. One of the more challenging aspects of the role was time management. There were added administrative and professional responsibilities that came with the role. Managing my time efficiently between these roles and my medical training was a great experience. I have certainly developed a new appreciation of time management skills, which is something I am still working on today in

regards to my practice. You completed your residency this past year and now recently started your medical practice in Neepawa (Aug. 2018). Can you tell us a little bit about the process to begin work there? How have things been going? Was it a fairly easy learning curve adapting to a similar-sized community/practice? I was really lucky to end up working in Neepawa. My father’s family is from here and I have very fond memories of visiting my grandparents and spending time on the golf course with my grandpa (although you wouldn’t be able to tell). Towards the end of residency, I chose to do a month-long elective in Neepawa with the intention of feeling it out as a possible location for future work. By the end of the first day I knew I wanted to return. We have such a great group of doctors working here, who are extremely supportive and collegial. The staff at the clinic and hospital is excellent. Starting practice has definitely been steep learning curve but it has been very enjoyable… and busy. I can truthfully say that I have enjoyed my time so far and look forward to building my roots here. You will be receiving a national recognition award in November for your leadership while you were a medical resident. How do you feel about that? I am very thankful and humbled. I see the award more as a testament to the amazing preceptors, administrative staff, and fellow residents that I had the honour to work with during my residency. Are you going to be shifting to a ‘precep-

tor’ role yourself now in Neepawa/PMH region? It is somewhat surreal to think that I have the opportunity to teach stu-

dent/residents already, since I am so early into practice. I do really look forward to being able to fulfil that role once I am

a few years into practice, as I had such great personal experiences from preceptors during my training.

Souris Health District Foundation receives half-million dollar donation By Darci Semeschuk When Anton (Tony) Kohut passed away earlier this year, he left a legacy that will live on for decades with the Souris Health District Foundation. He gave the gift that just keeps on giving, a donation of $500,000.00! When the Souris Health District Foundation met in it regular board meeting Tuesday, October 23, the threeman board decided that a press to remind people about the importance of the Health Foundation to the community. This foundation was formed around 1996 when it was decided that health regions were growing, and amalgamation was imminent. Souris Health District Hospital board met and formed the Souris Health District Foundation Inc. The foundation was created to provide locally controlled enhancements to the health care facilities and services that the former Souris Health district looked after. Current Members on the board are Blair Woods, Darryl Jackson, and David Kohut, who meet regularly to review business arising and make decisions for each community health care facility.

WESTMAN.COM

“Essentially it was created to fill the role of the former Hospital Board just before amalgamation,” explained Jackson who is also Souris’ mayor. “This new entity would make sue that local money was kept local.” With this donation, the Souris Health District Foundation has investments of about $1.5 million. The interest earned from the money donated in the ever-growing foundation is given out yearly to these facilities for upgrades in equipment and items needed at both the Hartney Health Centre and the Souris Health Centre. “This donation from Tony Kohut’s estate is an amazing gift an d we are very grateful for it. We are mandated to give out at least 3.5% each year and if the interest rates go up there could be more money available,” explained Jackson. “We do consider all applications very seriously.” Administration managers at the facilities such as Karen Thomas in Souris and Noreen Greig for Hartney present their applications to the board of the Health Foundation and from there the grants are awarded. The interest earned in 2018 will be distributed in early 2019. Souris Health Centre has a recognition wall located in the lobby of the hospital, which displays

names of people who have donated to the foundation. Families often ask people to consider donating to the Souris Health District Foundation Inc. in memory of their loved one who they lost, and some families are directing a percentage of their personal wealth when making out their wills. This type of support is really a gift that keeps on giving back to the community that they loved. You can ask that your donation be used directly in Hartney or Souris or you can leave that decision up to the board the overlooks this foundation. In 2017 the grant money was disbursed to each area as follows: Souris Health Care Facility: $24739: summer student wages $4300; Wi-Fi Connection $7000; chart rack $3739; Roller blinds $3800; Blood Pressure machine $4100; Television $1800. Victoria Park Lodge received $5000 towards a special tub. Hartney Health Centre: $10,045: summer student $3000; portable Otoscope $600; video surveillance Equipment $3000; examination light $500; scale lift $2945. The time of year is here when our board accepts the grant applications for the next year. If there is something you feel your health care facility needs, please bring your idea forward to any board member.

By Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars suffered their first home ice loss and second loss of the season when the Winnipeg Bruins handed the Cats a 4-3 set back on Saturday night in Souris. The Cougars rebounded from a lack lustre affair Sunday afternoon and knocked off the Eastman Selects with a Callum Fortin buzzer beater in overtime for a 5-4 win. The win keeps the Cats in a tie with Yellowhead with 19 points, three back of the Winnipeg Wild and just back of the second place Thrashers. The teams were tied at 1 after one and 3 after the second and the Bruins potted the game winner 52 seconds into the third with his second of the game. Tyson Kozak scored in the first from Cody Gudnason to open the scoring. The Bruins jumped out to the lead in the second before Hunter Wallace evened the score from Kozak. Tyson Kozak then scored

his second of the game with the man advantage from Cory King and Braeden Lewis. The Bruins evened the score with a short-handed goal with 14 seconds left in the second. The Bruins took the lead 52 seconds into the third when Luc Masse scored his second of the game. The Cougars were out shot 41-32 as Caden Wilson turned aside 37 shots in the loss. The Cougars had to pick it up Sunday if they wanted a weekend split and despite playing short handed most of the second and killed off over four minutes of 5-on3 hockey they escaped with the win after taking 10 minors in the game to the Selects four. The Cougars had a 2-1 lead after one on a power play goal by Cory King from Matthew Ramsey and Tyson Kozak. The Selects tied and a last minute goal by Tyson Kozak restored the lead as the Cougars were out shot. Continued on Page 9

Nestled in the south-west corner of Manitoba near Bossevain, you can find the vibrant homestead of farmers Arthur and Candice Bell. The breathtaking view when you look out from the Bell’s residence is one to remember. You may even catch a glimpse of a local elk that has made itself comfortable in the hills of their backyard. Arthur Bell values the land that he farms and gives it credit for his success; “Good land can make a bad farmer look good,” he shares. This was an important factor Arthur considered when he immigrated to Canada in 2000 after leaving his family’s potato farm in Ireland. Although his farming history at Boissevain is fairly recent, Arthur modestly shared that he’s from a long line of farmers and likely represents the 10th generation. It’s no surprise that with a long history of farming in his blood, and his open mind, that he has become an iconic innovator in the farming community. He believes he was one of the first farmers in southwestern Manitoba to add corn into his crop rotation. To make a move with a new crop, Arthur shares he could not have done it without the help from Double Diamond Farm Supply, specifically, Kent McKay, Agronomy Lead. "When we started to talk corn, Arthur and I started to bounce ideas off each other and build up our confidence. We had an open mind to try different things on a small scale before taking bigger risks," says Kent on his relationship with Arthur. Kent is more than just a retail rep, he is someone that Arthur and Candice consider a partner in their operation. In fact, during an unexpected trip to Ireland, Kent was the one that kept them informed and updated as herbicide applications were in progress back home. DEKALB® Territory Account Manager Wes Lewis refers to the notable relationship between Arthur and Kent as a respectful partnership. "It's fun for me to participate in Arthur and Kent’s accomplishments; they value each other’s time and efforts and I enjoy being another person who can contribute to the farm’s success," Wes adds. Arthur had most of the tools needed for seeding corn because of some equipment he had for growing sunflowers. Although he had the tools, he was still working on gaining confidence. An exciting and rewarding year 2010 was for Arthur when he successfully grew 80 acres of corn on an experimental run.

Arthur shared many reasons why he enjoys growing corn. “Watching it grow is fun and exciting; at its peak growth, you can notice a couple inches of growth every day,” he highlighted. Today, corn makes up one third of his crop rotation. This year, Arthur grew a few corn hybrids including DEKALB® DKC33-78RIB corn and DEKALB® DKC26-40RIB corn for their earlier relative maturity and high yield potential. When it comes to choosing hybrids, Arthur and Kent still use the same criteria – does it have the maturity to fit the farm and what is the yield potential? The only difference is that their definition of yield potential has grown from those early experiments; it’s no longer good enough to be respectable yield they want to push the limits of corn on the farm. A common denominator amongst most farmers is the thinking and decision making that takes place behind the wheel of farm equipment. It comes as no surprise that an innovator like Arthur would want to reap the benefits that data technology advancements have to offer his farm, like getting real time insights right in the cab of his combine. When the Climate FieldView™ digital ag platform was first offered in Western Canada, Arthur was one of the first to sign up to test the product. Now, he’s a strong advocate for the platform and believes that the benefits of having real time data and high-quality satellite imagery at your fingertips can help simplify and improve the day-to-day operations on his farm.

Arthur is always doing what he can to stay informed about the newest corn hybrids available on the market. That’s one of the reasons why he actively participates in a DEKALB® Corn Market Development trial with his DEKALB® Agronomist, Liz Simpson. Arthur explains that the trials are his first step in deciding which products to bring to his farm. By participating in the trials, he gets a first glance at the newest hybrids available from the DEKALB® corn breeding pipeline. Once he gains confidence and expertise with a hybrid, he builds up the number of acres he experiments with. He refers to the trial data that the DEKALB® brand shares publicly as a key tool that helps him make informed decisions on his farm. Although it plays a factor, there is more to a successful farm than just good land. It takes innovation and partnership, from the farmers across Canada, to the DEKALB® brand representatives and retailers like Double Diamond. Topped off with hard work, and backed by an open mind and a desire to learn. Arthur has all this and the experience to understand it takes more than just good land to operate a successful farm. We thank the Bell family for choosing DEKALB® brand seed for their farm and wish them a safe and successful harvest this year and for many years to come. Check out the results of Arthur Bell’s corn trial and other farmer-managed Market Development trials on DEKALB.ca this fall.

Also left to mourn is Bobʼs only sister Doreen (James) Logeot, sisters-in-law Irene (Bill) Hunt and Mary (Bert) Hunt; Aunt Alice Ardagh and Uncle George and Aunt Elva Hunt; and many nieces and nephews, and countless cousins, all of which Bob was so proud. Bob was a person who kept the family connected no matter how far away.

she received $40. Double shouts came from Lee Johnson, Larry Neilson and Marie Neilson. Now Marie made noise only twice but had two wins in one game, so she actually collected on three games. Our meat draw on Friday, November 2 was a slower evening because of the many activities going on nearby. That did not mean it was easier to win. Only people to col-

lect two meat packages were Bill Strath and the household of Joan and Irwin Harlton. Ken Ryckman held the winning ticket on the 50-50 draw and received $132. The Ace of Spades was worth $3,865 and Brian Davison from Ottawa won the chance to ﬁnd it. The Ace once again proved to

be elusive and so will be chased again next week. Congratulations were extended to Ardelle and Blair Woods on their 40th wedding anniversary. Just a note to keep in mind – after this Ace is found, the price of a strip of tickets for the “Chase the Ace” draw will be going up to $2.

Next week, the meat draw will be taken over by our firefighters. Please come out and support this very important part of our community. Elvis was in the house on Saturday, November 3 and his performance was greatly enjoyed by a crowd of almost 100, definitely a successful

evening. Perhaps we will be able to have more evenings like this. Our next General Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 20 starting at 8:00 p.m. The Nominating Committee will be announcing candidates for our elections in December. Please plan to attend.

Memory Tree evokes thoughts of loved ones gone By Darci Semeschuk The Souris Palliative Care committee has begun its 2018 Palliative Care Memory Tree fundraiser. Anyone wishing memorialize the memory of a loved one may consider the purchase of a light for the Memory Tree. Donations are accepted at the Souris Glenwood Civic Centre, at the Souris Health Centre, or with any member of the Palliative Care Committee. Through Palliative Care Manitoba, the Memory Tree started in 1987 as a special place to help ease the pain of grief during the holiday season. Christmas is traditionally a time of joy for most. But, for those grieving, it can inspire feelings of loss, loneliness and social isolation. Many grieving people feel out of step with the world around them, yet are reluctant to admit their pain. The Memory Tree provides a tangible way to acknowledge and remember the person who has died. The Souris Palliative Care committee will be holding a “tree lighting” ceremony that is open to the public on Friday, December 7 at 3:00 p.m. The tree is located at the Civic Centre and all are welcome to attend.

Funds that are raised through this, and other Souris Palliative Care fundraisers have been used to purchase beds and furnishings for the palliative care rooms at the Souris Health Centre and with items required by Palliative Care clients in hospital, at home or in the Personal Care Home. “We help fundraise for any type of equipment that will enhance the lives of those in palliative care,” explained Lorraine Couling. “Over the years we have spent thousands of dollars on beds and other items for palliative care. This includes items for the Personal Care Home because some people forget that they are considered palliative care. Anytime you’re buying health equipment, the costs are huge.” Other costs that are covered by this committee are nurse’s continuing education for palliative care; salaries for sitters for patients who either don’t have families or those families can’t be there for them. The lighting of the Memory Tree is a popular event. “Each year we read out a list of names when we light the tree. We have had about fifty names on the

Memory Tree donations outstanding in 2017 The Souris Palliative Care Memory Tree was set up in the Souris Civic Centre lobby the 2017 Christmas season. Donations in memory of loved ones passed totalled an outstanding $2,930.00 in 2017. The 2018 campaign is underway and a tree lighting ceremony will be held Friday, December 7 at 3:00 p.m. in the Souris Civic Centre.

list,” explained Couling. “Christmas is a very difficult time for people who have lost loved ones. It’s just that time of the year, it stirs people. As long as people keep responding to our event, we’ll keep doing it.”

Close to $3000.00 was raised in 2017 and the committee hopes that the support for the Memory Tree will be good for the 2018 campaign. Board positions run for three to four years and it’s usually a twelve-member

board. Committee members include: Lorraine Couling, Kathy Smith, Eva Granger, Lynne Janz, Norma Dodd, Joanne Goodwill, Lori Denbow, Linda Perrin, Karen Maryniuk, Christine Janz, Yvonne Bell, Gerry Hansen, Darcy

Donogh, Karen Thomas, Eleanor Hayes, Karen Sobry, Charlotte Parham, Elsie Kruk. For more information, please contact Lorraine Couling, 204-483-2244 or Kathy Smith, 204-4832102.
