Souris Access volunteers receive award of excellence Souris volunteers have partnered with Westman Communication Group to broadcast local programming on access channel 12 since 1972. Every year WCG TV awards their President’s Cup trophy to the region that is outstanding in innovation, increased programming, progressive communication, and meeting full funding requirements. On June
8, 2018 Souris was proud recipient of this honour. The award was presented at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Night in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba. Westman Communications Group support local programming through WCGtv, the community cable television channel, and its many volunteers. They’ve invested over $2 million in TV equipment for com-
munity programming. As well, they’ve trained and worked closely with over 200 volunteers, including those from Souris who broadcast 24,000 hours of local programming and over 11,000 public service announcements, each year. WCGtv volunteers and staff also work closely with Assiniboine Community College Media Production students. The local pro-
gramming is an important service for western Manitoba communities that only Westman, and its dedicated volunteers, provide.

Ace, pot’s up to $3200 by Gale Collinson Cribbage players occupied five and one-half tables on Wednesday, September 26. Joan Phillips and Betty Devins finished the evening with the best score. Taking second place was Alva Doherty with Sean Deleau and Joan Dufily with Lorna Binions claimed the third prize. Winning ticket for the 50-50 draw belonged to Pat Giesbrecht. Our bingo evening of Thursday, September 27 had 20 people ready to do some shouting. The most noise came from Cindy Janz with four
yells. Close behind her with three hollers were Doreen Edgars and Gladys Skoc. Gladys made her last call on the Little House and got $32. Double shouts were heard from Gale Collinson and Marie Neilson. On Friday, September 28 our meat draw was well attended. You just never know how the evening is going to go. Last week some multiple wins and this week no one could take home more than 1 package of meat. The 50-50 draw amounted to $136 and Bob Balbar held the lucky number. Last week I reported
Cliff Cullen MLA for Spruce Woods
that the pot for “Chase the Ace” was $3,644.50 but, apparently there was a miscalculation, and it was not quite that high. This week it was (I hope) $3,180.50. Evelyn Harlton tried to take the money home but the Ace of Spades remained elusive. We’ll give it another go next week. A roast beef supper was available after the draws finished. 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. On Saturday, November 3, we will be having “a tribute to the King, Elvis” performed by a very talented impersonator. Please come and enjoy this great evening with us.

EDITORIAL Now more than ever, newspapers matter #NowMoreThanEver #NewspapersMatter. Media pundits have predicted the demise of print media, specifically the community newspaper, since the advent of the Internet went mainstream in the late 1990s. As more people tied into the world wide web, blogs and websites became a substantial source of entertainment on an inexpensive, digital platform that could supply an infinite amount of information at the push of a button. Then the era of social media began, spreading across the globe like an unstoppable pandemic. Tying one’s self into MySpace, then Facebook, then Twitter, was hip, particularly for the sector of society just grasping the concept of the Internet and all it could do; the Baby Boomers. As these people stepped into the digital age, the limelight went away from ink and newsprint. Although some news media outlets have not survived and all have changed to deal with the new way North Americans consume their information, one thing remains constant. A majority of Canadians are still getting their local news from trained, experienced sources; journalists with a solid background in knowing what can and cannot be said in the public realm based on an extensive investigative and analytical set of skills. People still regard local newspapers as the ar-
biters of important information. Yes, most readers float about online, reading a post about their friend’s delicious dessert or a ranting Tweet about a neighbour’s loud dog, but when it comes time to knowing something of substance – learning about their first hand communal experience - nine of ten Canadians rely on local, professional news sources. This is an important point to consider. A social media post is not fact-checked, challenged or edited before disseminated, potentially spreading rumour, innuendo and misinformation that destroys the fabric of that communal experience. It rips at the foundation of community by pitting one against another without valid consideration for both sides of any particular issue or argument. Plus, those in power are not held to account should they behave in a corrupt, self-serving manner. It is far easier to push aside rambling Facebook tirades. A well-investigated news article, however, is backed by a committed group of professionals whose sole objective is to inform based on the collection of facts that is as close to the truth as can be ascertained before deadline. Those media agencies who have slipped from following this principle – and many in this industry have – are sliding into a sin outlined by English politician Richard Cobden in the mid-19th Century: “A newspaper should be the
maximum of information, and the minimum of comment.” In this new age of information immediacy and sensationalism, newspapers have had to change, but they are far from dead. In the very least, their standards of practice are held to high regard, both on paper and online, which is extremely important considering how many entities are trying to mislead or motivate their audience into voting for this or buying that. An Ipsos-Reid poll has suggested that 63 per cent of Canadians cannot determine what sites provide real news and what sources are disseminating fake news. That’s a troubling statistic. Nevertheless, as we near the end of this century’s second decade, most of us have finally realized that new information distribution technologies are not always trustworthy, allowing the old methods of finding, writing and telling the news to thrive again. Newspapers are not dead. They are evolving to fit their audience’s consumption preferences. And many of us still prefer the genuine honesty ink on paper your community publication provides. Should you agree, help us send a message to businesses, government and journalists across Canada that newspapers matter. Now more than ever. Pledge your support at www.newspapersmatter. ca

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Ducks Unlimited Canada is pleased with the findings of a recent Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) report that identifies a greater need for wetlands and other natural infrastructure as a cost-effective way to limit the expensive damage done by floods and extreme weather. We hope the report -- combined with recent funding announcements for green infrastructure and initiatives that reduce the potential impacts of natural disaster, and the recently-passed Sustainable Watersheds Act – will encourage governments, municipalities and conservation groups to pursue new projects together. In its report, Combatting Canada’s Rising Flood Costs: Natural infrastructure is an underutilized option, released on Sept.
18, IBC provides a way to assess the total economic value, benefits and potential for natural infrastructure such as wetlands. It concludes that governments and water managers need to consider these natural alternatives, alongside concrete and steel solutions, for managing water on the landscape. This new assessment tool will allow governments, municipalities and conservation groups to make a business case for preserving and restoring wetlands. Further, in new funding under the Canada Infrastructure Program, DUC sees an opportunity to partner with Manitoba municipalities and watershed districts. We already have successful programs in place. As a conservation leader with more than 80 years
of experience, DUC is in a strong position to provide natural solutions that address flooding and extreme weather. In fact, we’ve worked with landowners to protect and restore wetlands for decades, and we’re constantly seeking new partners to continue that work. Not only do wetlands slow the flow of water and help prevent flooding, they filter nutrients and provide clean water, supply wildlife habitat, and store climate-changing carbon. Wetlands continue to be lost, but we hope the report, recent funding announcements, and the new act will foster the culture of conservation that continues to grow in Manitoba.

Cougars shot down in shoot-out By Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars made a trip to Ontario to open the 2018/2019 regular season with a pair of games in Kenora. After five wins in the preseason the Cougars suffered a pair of shoot out losses to the host Thistles. The teams played a scoreless first period on
Saturday night. Austin Clyne scored on the power play from Cory King and Tyson Kozak early in the second to open the scoring. Kenora evened the score seven minutes into the third when Ben Hackl scored a power play goal. The teams played a scoreless overtime to send the game to a shoot out. Sam
Brunton was the only shooter to score for the 2 to 1 win for the home team. Randy Cooke turned aside 29 shots, while the Cougars fired 33 at Cooper Hatfield. The game was a physical affair. Sunday afternoon the Cats fired 43 shots at Cooper Hatfield, while Caden
Wilson starting his first AAA game turned aside 15 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss. Kenora jumped out to two goal first period lead before Rylan Gudnason found the net from Braeden Lewis and Hunter Andrew with a late first period goal. The trio struck early in the second to tie the
score when Braeden Lewis hooked up with Gudnason and Andrews. The teams played scoreless the rest of the way and overtime proved nothing sending the game to overtime. In the shootout Kenora found the back of the net twice, while Cory King was the only Cougar shooter to bulge the twine.
The Cougars dressed 16 skaters in the two games as Matthew Ramsey, and Grady Lane are on the side lines with injuries. The ties earned the Cougars two points for their efforts. They now face the Central Plains Capitals on Saturday night before paying a visit to Pembina Valley on Sunday.
109 points in those two seasons. “Gint’ scored 138 goals and had 378 points in his 9 year pro career. He played in Charlotte, Quebec City, Hershey, Omaha and Rochester. Charlotte Checkers also
had Hartney’s John Morrison as their leading scorer in the 72-73 season with 65 points. The North Carolina team had other Manitobans on this team including Perry Miller who went on to play with the WHA Winnipeg
Jets and Wellwood’s Jack Wells (I believe is related to the Deloraine Wells). This week’s trivia ask the name of the other Deloraine player who amassed 48 points with the 72-73 Charlotte N.C. team
nights. Danton Belluk turned away 42 of 46 shots for the Selects. Saturday Saturday saw the Bruins take on their crosstown rival Thrashers in a feisty affair. The Thrashers scored first, but 3 secondperiod goals by the Bruins, and 2 more in the third, would seal the 5-2 victory. Brayden Clark (BRU) led the scoring for both teams with 1 goal and 2 assist while Dylan Arnold (BRU) put aside 37 of 39 shots.
The other Winnipeg squad - the three time defending league champion Winnipeg Wild - visited Portage to face the Capitals. Five Wild players ended with multi-point nights as the Wild routed the Caps 6-0. Brett Murphy stopped 34 shots for his first shutout. In other action, the Hawks played host to the Selects in Morden. The Hawks scored 4 goals in the second period and ended the game 7-4. Riley Goertzen (PV) and Roux Bazin (PV)
each contributed 3 points in the win. The Wheat Kings continued to play shutout hockey as they beat the host Parkland Rangers 6-0 in Dauphin. Tempers flared in the third period as the teams were handed a combined 76 minutes in penalties. The Kenora Thistles opened their season by hosting the Southwest Cougars in a tight 2-1 (so) contests won by the home squad. Both goaltenders - Cooper Hatfield (KEN) and Randy Cooke (SW) were solid; Cooke finished the night with a .967 SV% while Hatfield won the stat contests by posting a .970 SV%. In the final game of the night, the Chiefs played host to the Northstars. The Chiefs would win the contest 3-0, after pushing 43 shots at the Northstars net. Tresor Wotton made 20 saves in the shutout. Sunday Two contests wrapped up opening weekend: the Northstars visited Dauphin to play the Rangers and the Cougars finished up their double dip in Kenora against the Thistles. The Rangers found the win column with a 5-2 effort against Norman while the Thistles swept the weekend with a 3-2 (so) victory over Southwest. Note: The first Player of the Week award for the 2018/19 season will be handed out following October 6-7 weekend.
Sports Ramblings By Dale McKinnon The Winnipeg Jets will have begun their 2018-19 season by the time you have read this article. Last season put the Jets on the radar screen in the NHL and it should be an interesting sea-
son for the Manitoba team. I wasn’t many years ago that if you hinted the jets and the Maple Leafs would be preseason favourites to meet in the Cup final that you would have been laughed out of the Deloraine arena!
Last week’s trivia asked for the name of the Deloraine resident who Don Cherry coached. Larry McKillop played for Cherry with the Rochester Americans of the AHL form 7274. Larry had 38 goals and
The weekend recap The Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League welcomed the start of its regular season this weekend. Twelve of thirteen teams saw action. Friday On Friday, The Winnipeg Burins and Pembina Valley Hawks kicked off the 2018-2019 regular season with the Hawks beating the Bruins 3-1. Both teams peppered shots on net, combining for 68. Tyson Alison and Caelan Russell each contributed 2
points for the Hawks. For the Bruins, the lone goal came off the stick of Mathieu Catellier. The Norman Northstars paid a visit to the Wheat City but were unable to find the back of the net and fell 0-6 to the Brandon Wheat Kings. The Wheaties has six different goal scorers and 13 players ended the night with at least one point. Dawson Green put aside 28 shots for the shutout. In other action, the Central Plains Capitals hit the road to play the Yel-
lowhead Chiefs in Shoal Lake. The Chiefs mounted a third period comeback - putting up 3 in the final frame - to take the 4-2 decisions. Jake Poole netting 1 goal and added 2 assists to lead the Chiefs. In the final game of the night, the Winnipeg Thrashers travelled to Beausejour to take on the Eastman Selects. The Thrashers ended the night with 46 shots on goal and a 4-1 victory. The Thrashers’ Mathieu Moreira and Nick Sharpe each had 2-point
A message to the rural ratepayers of the Municipality of Souris Glenwood My name is Donald Brown and I farm with my family west of Souris. I am running for rural Councillor in the Municipality of Souris Glenwood. First off, no more than ten people have likely called me Donald in my life, more commonly I am known as Don or Donnie. A second point would be, that before the last seven to ten years, I would never have thought of entering politics at any level, that idea was well beyond the comfort level for my life. What has happened in the last ten years that would cause me to have a change of heart? There have been numerous things that brought about my change of heart. Some of these were trying to deal with local government about an issue, but the situation was about more than just myself. I have also witnessed situations where other ratepayers concerns were ignored, and not only in the rural area, and never seeing anything in the minutes about these concerns, just didn’t seem right. I believe when a person puts their name before the electorate, with a presumption of being represented, it is a disappointment when councillors never bring their concerns before the public. All of a sudden words like transparency have meaning, and transparency leads to accountability. Transparency and Accountability represent some of the basic ideas of democracy. Of the people, for the people, by the people, is not just a saying, but also an idea of representation of citizens, and ratepayers by the electorate. In the world of politics one person cannot change the world, but one person can make a change. What I’m saying in a very simple way is that I would like the opportunity to represent ratepayers in regards to their concerns to local government. The choice is yours. I ask for your vote on October 24. Sincerely, Donald Brown

Downey running for school board By Judy Wells Note: There will be a Civic and School Board trustee election on Wednesday, October 24. I posed some questions to the candidates. Stay tuned for other interviews in upcoming issues. The following is from Allan Downey, school trustee. Question #1: Why did you choose to run again for the school board? The main reason for running again is what I see as the lack of commitment for our schools by the Provincial Government. For the past 3 years since the Tories took power there has been nothing but negativity towards Education in Manitoba with direct aim towards Rural Manitoba. Having been on the School Board the past 8 years I believe our Schools are an investment in our communities. That if we believe in the future in Rural Manitoba then we must also believe Schools are worth investing in not tearing down. Question #2: What
gains have been made in the last term? What is the focus of our education system in Southwest Horizon? Do you think the curriculum as it stands is adequate to educate every style of learning? If not, how can it be improved? The gains in programing have been exciting for our Division; Culinary Arts for me would lead the list. Culinary Arts or Home Ec. was brought into every school with overwhelming support at very, very low financial cost. Other gains, Kindergarten program, Mental Health awareness, start of Industrial Arts, Math and ELA resources, Restitution, the list goes on. One thing that gets overlooked far too often as gains is the employees that work at Southwest Horizon. We are fortunate, so fortunate, to have such a great group of people working in our communities for our future. What is the focus in Education in Southwest Horizon? The main focus
in a nut shell is, being relevant for our students and communities. One size does not fit all. We are trying to have each child go home each day with the wonderful feeling, I can! Question #3: The addition of culinary arts (Home Ec) and Woodworking are very welcome. What is the feedback you have heard? Are there anymore plans in this direction? The feedback on culinary arts has been great. It is a positive addition to our schools. Woodworking has been a long process, years. Mechanics had also been considered but due to cost Woodworking seemed to be our best fit. In all honesty there was negative feedback to the board from “a few” people in the community. Time will tell if the right decision was made, all I know, I believe it is the right decision and I think the program will be a huge positive for the students in our Division when up
and running. For more programing in this direction, I have felt there should be a division wide music program, but like our other programs it will take time and with little, and that is being kind, to no support from the province, it is very hard to afford these programs. It is directly from our local investment that this programing is possible. Question #4: What are the greatest challenges facing the school board? The number 1 challenge I see for the school board is, our COMMUNITY’S SURVIVAL. Our schools are at the heart of the community. Look around your town, why invest in community projects if our schools go the way of health care? What will we have to attract new families and investment to our communities if our schools go the way of local health care? In January of 2019 the province will begin a review of education in the province. Topics for dis-
cussion, regional authorities, centralize taxation, methods of delivery….. Communities need to be aware; education is not safe in rural Manitoba. The second major challenge is FUNDING. What was traditionally 80% province and 20% local split in funding has become 67.1% province and 32.9% local on average in Manitoba. Our problem is Southwest Horizon is far from average; our split in funding is 50.83 province 49.17 local. What does this mean for the new board? The new board is going to have to decide how much room is left in our local tax base to continue investing here at home. Despite the local cost it is very important to point out that our local mill rate of 10.4 is the SECOND LOWEST in the province due in large part because of the oil industry. If the province goes to a central tax for education funding, your tax bill will rise with no guarantee that the money will come back.
Funding decisions are going to be very difficult over the next 4 years with the current attitude of government for our division. Question #5: The school and community work very well togetherespecially the Apprenticeship type programs. Are there plans for any more of this type of learning experience? How can the community further help in the education of our youth? The apprenticeship program is a very good program that has great value for students. We are very fortunate to have employers that are willing to invest in the students and give opportunities for hands on experience. We are very fortunate to have communities that are very proud of their schools. You couldn’t ask for more. One must remember that our schools reflect our communities. If you do not take pride in your community your future is limited.
Oliver not running for trustee By Judy Wells After eight years serving as a Southwest Horizon School Division trustee, Penny Oliver of Melita is stepping down. to enjoy her grandson. “It was a great experience and I had great people to work with on the board.” Oliver encourages people to run for their local Wards as it is very important to have local voices from all the Wards. “I wish the new trustees the best of luck. There will be times when you feel overwhelmed but hang in there you will
do great.” Oliver strongly suggested that communities need to be talking about certain things. “First and foremost, everyone should be aware that our former Health Minister Kelvin Goertzen is now our Minister of Education and Training. He is questioning why we need so many school divisions so he may be looking at merging them into a more regional model. We all know how this worked on the RHA side. What is this going to look like on the education side? The importance of schools in our communities cannot be stressed

Big Dyck Cadillac coming to Souris submitted When the Souris District Arts Council received word that THE BEETLES were unable to come to Souris for the first performance of the Concert Series, they were at first devastated. But when Mo Karrouze indicated that he had made some calls himself, spoke to Gerry Perkins of Big Dyck Cadillac, and that they might be available, the mood
quickly changed. The Brandon band specializes in vintage/ nostalgic rock and roll, the upbeat dance music of the 50’s and 60’s. This name is synonymous with “a great time” in western Manitoba. The band has been featured at conferences and annual meetings from Winnipeg to Vancouver and has opened for the Mamas and the Pa-
pas and The Beach Boys when these groups came to Brandon. Their gigs include large community events and company/private parties. In March 2005 - 2008, Big Dyck Cadillac travelled to Mazatlan, Mexico where they were one of the featured bands at Canucks, a popular spot with Canadian and American snowbirds. As well as their own socials and

Hartney Fire Department proud of their heritage By Darci Semeschuk Hartney Fire Chief Richard Lamouline is proud of the tradition that exists in the Hartney Fire Department. The long history of their fire trucks is especially interesting. Local Hartney residents, the Isabey Brothers, Narcisse and Constance, built Hartney’s first Fire Truck, according to Lamouline in 1918. It consisted of pulling two vehicles together from one. The second Fire Truck was a 1956 Ford purchased
from Hartney Machine & Motors, the Isabey Ford dealership. The tank and pump for the truck were built were also built by the Isabeys as. The third Fire Truck was a 1984 Ford Chassis, purchased from Hartney Machine & Motors, taken to Fort Garry Industries in Winnipeg to have both the tank and pump installed. The fourth Fire Truck is a 2019 International 4-door, 4-wheel drive. It hold 1,400 gallons of water and has a built in foam
system. It was built at Acres Industries of Wawanesa. “The Isabey Family has been a huge asset to the Fire Department throughout the years,” explained Chief Lamouline. “To this day we still have that very first Fire Truck. The second Fire Truck has been sold and the third Fire Truck is still in service.” There are currently 17 volunteer firemen on the Hartney Fire Department ranging from 36 to 4 years of service.
Through the generations The Hartney Fire Department is proud of their heritage. They’ve taken great care of the former fire trucks and they are seen in in an earlier parade. Leading the way, 1928 followed by 1956 and bringing up the rear if the 1984 model. Next parade perhaps we’ll see all four trucks on display! PHOTO/SUBMITTED

SFD Members Attend Surface Water Rescue Training Submitted by SFD Members of the Souris Fire Department joined up with fellow mutual aid department Wawanesa members for surface water rescue training over the weekend of September 21-23 at Pelican Lake in Ninette. Although the temperatures were just a shade above zero, 10 members from the two departments took to the lake to improve their skills for water rescue as well as to demonstrate what it takes to work together with another department. Instructors through the Manitoba Emergency Services College provided a great educational weekend for all. Many new techniques were learned and old techniques were brushed up on. Jim Swaenepoel commented, “Working with a fellow mutual aid department is always great so we can learn from and with each other.” He went on to say, “Yes, the weather knock the ice cubes out of a penguin today but this is what we need to train for, as accidents don’t always happen on warm sunny days.”
Emergencies happen in all weather Members of the Souris and Wawanesa Fire Departments endured near freezing weather when they trained in a joint water rescue project at Pelican Lake September 21 – 23.

George finishing combining the earliest ever - August 26, 2003 "Will you have this woman To be your own wife.... To love and to cherish The rest of your life?" "I will", he replied. Fifty years told the rest For richer, for poorer, His love stood the test. Through raising three children And farming's demands... Not treating his kin With severe reprimands. Unselfish and caring Hardworking and fair... I always could count on him Just to be there. Still true to his faith To this fact I'll attest. There's no doubt in my mind That I have been blessed!

“Echoing” a Souris strategy by Echo Finlay, EDO Souris Glenwood Echo Finlay is the Souris Glenwood Development Corporation Economic Development Officer. She comes to Souris from Churchill and where she served as coordinator for Family Resource Centre, Parent Child Coalition through Healthy Child Manitoba for ten and onehalf years. You can find Echo in her office at the Souris Civic Centre I love this time of year! My family will never admit it, but the routine of school is very welcome after a relaxing summer. Things are only getting busier in the Community Development Corporation (CDC) office as we ramp up for a busy autumn and winter. It’s been a great 2 months in the position of Economic Development Officer (EDO) so far, and I’m getting more comfortable as I settle into the role.
It’s about time to get working on the Souris Visitor and Relocation Guide. The booklet has been gaining popularity over the years, and I’m pleased to tell you that we are almost out of the current copy. Just to put it into perspective, we had 7,500 copies printed for last year’s issue! The tourism industry keeps growing in Souris, and the community has embraced the day-trippers and road warriors that come to check out the swinging bridge, museums, peacocks, parks, and so much more. I could fill this whole news article with what we have to offer, but that is exactly why I am so excited to get working on the 2019 issue. EDAM (Economic Developers Association Manitoba) is having a fall forum in November that I will be attending. The agenda is full of exciting topics. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to participate and
bring the information back to the Souris-Glenwood Municipality. The Westman Wedding Expo is being planned in Brandon for January 13, 2019. There is value in pulling together a shared booth for vendors in Souris to showcase the beautiful products and services, giving couples a glimpse of what we have to offer in and around town. Souris is a stunning area, making it an ideal backdrop for any wedding, and a person would be hard pressed to find a friendlier community to plan a wedding in. Any vendors interested in partnering to host a booth are encouraged to contact me by phone or text at 204741-0631. February 06, 2019 we will participate in the 2nd Annual Southwest Business Expo in Reston, Manitoba. This is an exciting opportunity for entrepreneurs from southwestern Mani-
Echo Finley toba to gain information from experienced sources and helps launch their businesses into the next phase. Watch for more info soon. There is much more going on at the CDC office, but these are just some of the highlights. I’d really like to take this opportunity to thank the community for being so welcoming. Please stop by my office at the Civic Centre and chat if there is anything I can help with, contact me by phone/ text at 204-741-0631, or email at sgcdc@mts.net and I will get back to you.

Manitoba Crop Report By Manitoba Agriculture Widespread hard frost (below -4C) across province will help kill vegetative growth and dry down crops. Harvest progress slow again this week, with majority occurring Saturday/Sunday with dry/sunny days. Grain harvested is dry to damp and majority needing aeration or artificial drying to condition for storage
Producers are hoping for a break from rain and snow to finish harvest. Winter cereal seeding continues and earliest seed crops have emerged. Livestock feed supplementation occurring on pastures as cool weather has slowed growth. In the Southwest Region, cloudy, cool, rainy conditions with high humidity prevailed for the
week, but cleared on the weekend to allow for marginal harvest progress. Rainfall accumulation was low with 2 to 10 mm received for the week providing some topsoil and sub soil moisture recharge. Daytime temperatures hovered in the single digit above zero to low teens. Nighttime temperatures were near the freezing point to -8C
Manitoba farmers facing late harvest Cold, wet, rainy weather has put producers far behind in their 2018 harvest for. Harvest in general is 75% complete, but there are still some areas close to Highway 16 (Binscarth, Shoal Lake, Oakburn, Newdale, Straithclair) and North of Highway 45 that have 60-70% harvest left, including cereals and canola. Pictured here, our sister paper, the Western Producer published this photograph showing snow in late September. PHOTO/WESTERN PRODUCER
Thursday morning. Harvest in general is 75% complete, but there are still some areas close to Highway 16 (Binscarth, Shoal Lake, Oakburn, Newdale, Straithclair) and North of Highway 45 which have 60-70% harvest left, including cereals and canola. Soybeans, flax and some straight cut canola coming off. Soybeans yielding 25 to 40 bu/ac. Soybeans and corn represent the majority of acres left to harvest. Grain corn and sunflower experiences several hard frosts, plants are drying down now. No reports of any harvest yet. Silaging of corn is going on. With the hard frost received this week, this will terminate green plant tissue and help with drying down. Winter cereals emerged 1-2 leaf. Slow progress with cold weather. Even though rain has occurred, in the driest areas, it is not enough to replenish low dugouts and sloughs. The wet cool weather has slowed progress on corn and green feed silages and any thought of taking a cutting second cut hay where available. Livestock are mostly off pasture with some being fed on pasture. More
straw has been dropped for baling. Calls regarding winter water and feed have
decreased as producers are putting plans in place. Dugouts 45% full.

Operation Christmas Child boxes available for pick up By Darci Semeschuk Once again the Plaindealer, Souris School and Faith Community Baptist Church are pick up and drop off locations for the Operation Christmas Child boxes. Long-time volunteer, Carol Turner dropped the boxes off at the Plaindealer’s office on October 2. They can be picked up at any time and dropped off when filled.
The latest day to return the filled shoebox is November 11. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Operation Christmas Child, it is a hands-on way to bless struggling children in the developing world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and other items. Operation Christmas Child is an important way
to remind children suffering as a result of war, poverty, famine, disease, and disaster that they are loved and not forgotten. Each year, millions of shoeboxes are packed with gifts by people in Canada and nine other “sending” countries, and given to children in more than 100 “receiving” countries. Operation Christmas Child was started in 1990.

Nygard celebrates 50 years in fashion
Nygard is celebrating 50 years in fashion this year. In conjunction with this milestone, the Winnipeg headquarters on Inkster Blvd underwent a $5 million renovation. This included a museum with the Nygard family homestead from Deloraine which was their home when they came to Canada. Pictured in the homestead at the museum are Grant and Gail Cassils who were on hand for the grand opening on September 12. PHOTO/COURTESY NYGARD

employs 1,500 people. To begin the celebrations of this milestone, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony and reception on September 12 at Nygard’s recently upgraded head office and distribution facility at 1771 Inkster Blvd. The $5 million expansion features a completely new facade and a museum that houses many Nygard artifacts including the original Deloraine homestead — which was their home when they came to Canada. It also
houses artifacts from Nygard’s life and clothing the company has designed and produced through the decades. This special celebration coincides with Nygard International’s two-week product development conference with suppliers and vendors from China, Jordan, Indonesia, Finland, Bangladesh and the U.S. attending. The celebrations in Winnipeg surrounding the 50 years show Nygard’s enduring commitment to
Manitoba. There were 1800 guests in attendance to celebrate Peter Nygard and his 50 years in the fashion industry on September 14 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Nygard entered the gala with guest singer Tanya Tucker and Supermodel Beverly Johnson (the first African American woman on the cover of Vogue magazine). There were many dignitaries including Finnish ambassadors Vesa Lehtonen and Kai

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
Sauer. Vendors, suppliers and customers from numerous countries were also on hand. The guests were treated to an amazing fashion show featuring Nygard fashions from the past 50 years. This was followed by a special sneak peek of Nygard’s brand new collections featuring the Iconic Collection – which includes the heritage pieces (the best archived looks of 50 years). Tanya Tucker has been a long-time friend of Peter Nygard and she performed a heartfelt tribute to him. Guests were also treated to a world-class magic show from Las Ve-
gas magician and mentalist Simon Winthrop. Nygard International has a tradition of supporting cancer research. Nygard vice-president Jim Bennett presented a $100,000 donation to CancerCare Manitoba president and CEO Annitta Stenning, as part of the company’s 50th anniversary celebration event. In addition to the financial contribution, Nygard donated 1500 mammography gowns to the Breast Check and mammography unit at health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. Part of the fashion show featured 25 breast cancer survivors on the runway.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation demands an investigation into stadium-loan debacle submitted The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) called today for a comprehensive investigation into the Winnipeg stadium deal that has now saddled taxpayers with more than $200 million in costs due to loans being written off.
“Politicians told taxpayers not to worry because they had a rock-solid plan to build a stadium,” said Todd MacKay, the CTF’s Prairie Director. “Now, just a few years later, taxpayers are being asked to pay for an enormous mess. We can’t just shrug and put this
in the past. The provincial government has a responsibility to get to the bottom of the situation, hold people responsible and learn the lessons necessary to make sure this never happens again.” The provincial government recently announced
that it’s writing off a loan of $82 million because it does not believe the Blue Bombers and others will have the ability to pay it off. The provincial government previously wrote off a loan for $118.7 million that was supposed to be

paid with tax revenue generated by developments at the old stadium site – a location that remains largely undeveloped. “Obviously, former premier Greg Selinger and the government of the day are responsible for the de-
bacle,” said MacKay. “But that cannot be the end of the story. Premier Brian Pallister and the current government were elected to clean up these messes. This government needs to initiate a comprehensive investigation.”

Holy Gourds Batman! Now that’s an awesome collection of various squash and gourds. Brothers Hayden and Dustin Vandoorne once again grew a whopping amount of pumpkins and their kin. I bet they were kept busy watering with the hot, dry summer we had. You can view and/or buy some of these goods at 311 Finlay Ave. E. in Deloraine (Denis and Laura Vandoorne’s). PHOTO/JUDY WELLS
Manitoba Office of the Fire Commissioner Fire Prevention Week runs from October 7 -1 3, 2018. This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme focuses on three fundamental actions people can take to be fire-safe: LOOK for potential fire hazards around your home. Take action to prevent fire from starting: Always stay in the kitchen while cooking. If you must leave, turn off the stove. Encourage smokers to smoke outside. Always extinguish cigarettes in large, deep ashtrays that cannot be knocked over. Check electrical
cords for damage such as fraying or nicks. A damaged cord can expose wires and result in a potential shock or fire hazard. LISTEN for the smoke alarms in an emergency. Make sure everyone knows the sound of the smoke alarms and can hear them in an emergency. Early detection of fire provided by smoke alarms gives you the extra seconds you need to get out safely. LEARN two ways out of every room. Practice a home fire escape plan with everyone in your home before a fire starts so you and your family can get out quickly.
