Turtle Mountain – Souris Plains Heritage Association The Turtle Mountain – Souris Plains Heritage Association has released a short documentary entitled “Turtle Mountain Mud: Manitoba’s Coal Mines” Many people in the Deloraine/Goodlands area are quite familiar with the story about how John and Ole Nestibo’s discovery of a coal seam while digging a well on the Henderson farm, resulted in the only successful attempts to mine coal in the region. Using archival photos, footage of the site today, and an interview with local historian and educator Bob Caldwell, the documentary traces the history of at-
tempts to mine coal in the Turtle Mountain region. The story begins with the early, but failed attempts in the late 1800’s, but the main focus is on the sideby-side Henderson and Salter mines that operated in the 1930’s. It was those two mines that provided much need depression-era jobs and much appreciated cheaper coal for the region. Early Attempts - 1880 - 1910 The first discovery of coal in the area was also the result of a well-digging operation a few kilometres south of Boissevain in 1879. Over the next 25 years
These miners are gathered near an entrance to a drift mine. several mines were located on the western edge of Turtle Mountain where deep
creek beds allowed access to a coal seam. But there were problems from the start. Water seepage was a big issue. Despite high hopes, determined effort, and considerable investment, bringing

for the third week in a row, Dave Johnson and Doug Dodds finished in third place. The 50-50 draw was won by Wendy Bilton. On Thursday, November 15, 23 optimistic people showed up with intents to shout “bingo.” Most of the noise came from Gale Collinson as she yelled four times. Double shouts were heard from Alys Will, Marie Neilson and Viola Logan. Jack Rose hollered only once but did it on the Little House to receive $38. On Friday, November 16, our meat draw drew quite a large crowd. Collecting two meat packages
were Lonnie Kurtenbach and Doris Dron. Bill Scott held the winning ticket on the 50-50 draw and got $180.25. The Ace of Spades was worth $4,366 and Ramona Taylor won the chance to put it in her pocket. The Ace remained hidden and so it will be worth a little more next week. 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.

EDITORIAL Journalism is under threat Manitoban Dawna Friesen is the chief television anchor and executive editor of Global National. (Peter J. Thompson /National Post files) Dawna Friesen, who is from Manitoba, was previously a foreign correspondent for NBC News, and is currently the chief television anchor and executive editor of Global National, working out of Vancouver. She recently spoke on the importance of journalism during an address at the Manitoba Business Awards banquet, put on by the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce. The business aspect of journalism is seriously under threat. The model of the traditional newspaper, radio and TV station is broken. Advertisers are going elsewhere — mostly online. The way we consume news has changed rapidly. I grew up on a farm just west of Winnipeg, and we got a grand total of three
TV channels. Watching the news was a family affair. We all gathered in front of the TV to find out what happened in the world. And if you missed the news, you missed it. You’d have to wait until tomorrow to read it in the paper. Contrast that with my son, who is 13. Much as I would love to say he’s my biggest fan, he doesn’t really watch the news. He’s on Instagram and Snapchat, and spends more time on YouTube or Netflix than watching broadcast television. In one generation, how we connect to the world and how we consume news has been utterly transformed. Now, you can say, “Hey, that’s business. You adapt, or you die.” And journalism is adapting. But here’s the thing about journalism. It’s more than a business. It’s a pillar of democracy. Journalism underpins every free society. It informs, it uncovers truth and it holds power to account.
Without knowledge about what’s happening in your town, your province, your country, you can’t be an informed citizen. And if you aren’t an informed citizen, you can’t make informed decisions about the kind of community you want to live in, and the kind of political leaders you choose to represent you. Right now, journalism is under assault not just because the business model is broken, but because there are political forces actively working to undermine it and discredit it. An army of online trolls and activists question the veracity of stories they don’t like, attack individual journalists they don’t like, and ridicule institutions that for decades have been trusted sources of news. State-supported trolls from places like Russia and Saudi Arabia seed our news feeds with false stories and conspiracy theories, and actively work to undermine
western liberal democracies. I never imagined an American president — the leader of the free world — would call the media the “enemy of the people.” He’s said it so many times, we don’t even blink anymore. It’s having the insidious effect of eroding trust in all the news media. We have reached the point that people don’t know who or what to trust. I think we are living in a dangerous time. We’re not Americans, but we’re not immune to the rancour and the division and the political dysfunction that we’re watching unfold. American President Donald Trump is prone to calling media, such as CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, the enemy of the people. (Evan Vucci/The Associated Press files) American President Donald Trump is prone to calling media, such as CNN correspondent Jim Acosta,
the enemy of the people. (Evan Vucci/The Associated Press files) So here’s my message to you: be an active part of the solution. Don’t be drawn into partisan ugliness that paints political opponents as traitors and the enemy. Support quality journalism. Think of it as a public service. Journalists used to be seen as the public watchdog. Don’t fall for the line that we are the enemy of the people. That’s the talk of a dictator, who wants to silence those who question him. Quality journalism increases public knowledge, political participation and engagement. It helps reduce corruption, expose the nefarious. Just look at the power of the MeToo movements, which was driven by strong women who came forward, and journalists who told their stories. Want more great journalism? Get our best news and features delivered in your
inbox every evening. SIGN UP And here’s my most important point: don’t expect to get quality journalism for free. It’s not a giveaway. You need to pay for it. The big failing of the internet — which gave us access to the world — is that we expect to get it for free. Unless news organizations are owned by a billionaire like Jeff Bezos, that’s not sustainable. So pay for news, subscribe online. Demand quality. Consider the source of what you are reading and watching. Don’t get sucked in by clickbait. It just panders to sites that thrive on viral video. The vast majority of journalists are driven by the desire to inform the public, to get the facts and to bear witness to events — sometimes risking our lives to do it. So please, support quality journalism, because quality journalism underpins a healthy democracy.

KAP advisory meeting: crop update, support for young farmers At Keystone Agricultural Producers fall advisory council meeting yesterday, KAP members discussed the “brutal” harvest conditions that resulted in reduced quality and yields, and left some crops still in the fields. It was noted that an unprecedented amount of potatoes – 5,200 acres – are still in the ground, some soybeans and carrots are still
out there, and the onion crop was decimated. During the meeting delegates heard from Manitoba Agriculture representatives about the amendments to the Crown Lands Act, legislation that allows producers to access the lands for cattle grazing. The changes will see the allocation of Crown lands move from a points system to a public auction system,
something officials say will create more fairness and transparency. While delegates were generally supportive of the concept, many stressed it will put young farmers at a disadvantage because moreestablished farmers can bid higher. Over and over again delegates called for mechanisms to assist young farmers in accessing Crown lands.
“We need more support for our young farmers – in Crown lands distribution and right across the board,” said KAP president Bill Campbell. “It’s becoming increasingly difficult for young farmers to enter the industry because costs are so high. Who is going to take over our farms when we retire?” Seven resolutions were passed at the meeting, in-
cluding three on the crop input industry’s proposal to the federal government to allow it to implement royalties on farm-saved seed, something that will cost farmers more but would create investment by the industry in new variety research. Another resolution called for the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation to include strawberries under its Wildlife Damage Com-
pensation Program. Currently most other crops are covered. For a complete list of resolutions, contact val. ominski@kap.ca. During the meeting, Campbell announced the resignation of KAP general manager James Battershill, who will be pursuing a business interest. He indicated an executive search is now underway for a new general manager.

In loving memory of JUNE, who passed away suddenly November 25, 2005 We did not see you close your eyes Or hear your final sigh. We only heard that you were gone, Too late to say goodbye. We wish so much that life could be Just as it was before, That you’d be waiting for us When we walked through the door. Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same. We try to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall. Living our lives without you Is the hardest part of all.
Ever remembered loved and cherished but sadly missed by Eugene and family. Advertise with us! Call 204-483-2070 for more details.

Grady Lane scored his second of the night from Ramsey and Shearer and with time running out Cody Gudnason thought he should get in on the fun as he finished the scoring from Rylan Gudnason and Jordan Boyechko. Caden Wilson turned aside 27 shots for his second shutout in a row with his big saves coming in the second when the Cougars had a mental lapse. Wilson was named the Subway player of the game while the Cougars fired 56 on the Norman net. The Cats made the trip to Dauphin and jumped out to a two-goal lead in the first Callum Fortin opened the scoring midway through the period from Austin Clyne and Cory King with the man advantage. Cody Shearer scored two minutes later from Rylan Gudnason. The second period saw Hunter Andrew find the back of the net from Cory King. Callum Fortin then scored his second of the game from Tyson Kozak and Hunter Wallace. Matthew Ramsey then finished the Cats scoring with help from Rylan Gudnason and Austin Clyne as they went to the dressing room with a 5-goal lead. The Cougars got bored in the third and let Parkland break Randy Cooke’s shutout bid as they scored the only goal in the third. Cooke finished the game with 26 saves. The Cougars now travel to the east side of the province for four games before returning to play a home game in Boissevain on December 2 against the Winnipeg Thrashers.

By Grant Moffatt The Cougars picked up win number 11 on the weekend to sit in fourth place, five points back of the Winnipeg Wild. The Cats jumped all over Norman trouncing them 11-0 on Friday night. They hit the road for the start of a five-game road stretch and knocked off the Parkland Rangers 5-1 in Dauphin Saturday night. Friday night it was over early as Hunter Andrew hooked up with Tyson Pringle and Grady Lane to open the scoring. Tanner Clyne then tipped home a centring pace from Cory Gudnason and Austin Clyne. Cody Shearer sprang Tyson Kozak and he blew by the Norman d man and buried the biscuit. Braeden Lewis finished the first period scoring when he fired a bullet to the back of the net from Matthew Ramsey. The Cougars continued to pour it on in the second but Caden Wilson made a couple of toe saves with the Cougars falling asleep with the man advantage. Hunter Wallace hooked up with Callum Fortin. Grady Lane then scored his first goal of the year from Tyson Kozak and Hunter Andrew before Landon Roberts finished the scoring from Lewis and Ramsey to take a seven-goal lead into the third. The Cougars continued to pour in on in the third with four more unanswered goals. Callum Fortin buried the biscuit for Tyson Kozak. Matthew Ramsey then scored the Cats only power play goal of the night from Lewis and Cody Shearer.
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!

Christmas Cheer makes the Holidays Merry for everyone submitted Imagine not being able to afford gifts for your loved ones at Christmas. Imagine not worrying about whether you were going to serve ham or turkey for your Christmas feast because you were too busy worrying about whether you could afford milk or bread. Souris Christmas Cheer is a charitable organization whose mission is to ensure that for one day each year, families in need have a Christmas worth remembering. There are families in our community who need our help at this time of year. Unemployment, illness, low income and loneliness all contribute to hardships some face at Christmas. The Christmas Cheer Board tries to make even just one day a little brighter for families and individuals in our community. The board consists of representatives from St. Mary’s, St. Luke’s, St. Paul’s, Souris Gospel Chapel and Faith Community Baptist Church as well as members from the community at large and it is great to have so many diverse members come together for the greater good. The Christmas Cheer Board delivered sixty-five hampers last year. Donations of food, clothing, and toys are gratefully accepted. Donations of money can be dropped off at the town Office and a charitable donation receipt will be issued. Monetary donations are used to buy turkeys, grocery items, fresh produce and gifts. Bev Sobry’s Grade 8 class help us by wrap-
ping the hamper boxes in Christmas paper. It looked very impressive when the hampers were wrapped and ready to be delivered. Collection boxes will be placed in all the abovementioned churches as well as the Legion Clubroom, the Souris Health Centre, Bigway and LT’s Corner Store after November 11. The Christmas Cheer board works with the Food Bank at this time of year. They receive any extras that the Cheer Board has and will help us with any shortfalls we may have in our hampers. A typical hamper includes everything a family would need for breakfast, lunch and dinner on Christmas day, as well as some extras. Donation suggestions include nonperishable food, boxed chocolates and candy, breakfast cereal, cookies, pickles and juice. The hamper will include gifts for every member of the household. We ask that toys and children’s clothing be new and unwrapped. We provide for children and adults of all ages so any gift will be appreciated. Knitted mitts and hats are very welcome donations. Gifts for men and teens are often in short supply. Christmas Trees will be placed at Woodfire Deli, Royal Bank, Westoba Credit Union, Western Financial and Lagasse’s

family or group to give a complete gift. The response in past years has been overwhelming. The board is hoping for continued support from the citizens of Souris and surrounding area. The Souris Christmas Cheer provides hampers for the Municipality of Souris-Glenwood, and

Souris hot spot for high levels of radon gas, prompts re-check By Darci Semeschuk When homes in Souris were last tested for radon gas levels, the results were not good. In fact test results show that 90% of homes tested showed elevated levels of radon gas. Radon gas is a colourless, odourless, tasteless,
radioactive gas found naturally in the environment. It is released into the air during the natural breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. Radon enters homes and building through any place in contact with the soul such as small cracks in the foun-

dation, construction joints, and gaps around service pipes, floor drains and sump pumps. Radon indoors can reach high concentration and long-term exposure greatly increases an individual’s risk of developing lung cancer. Health Canada estimates that about 16% of lung cancer deaths are related to exposure to radon. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and it is estimated that there are more than 3,200 radon-related lung cancer deaths in Canada each year. (According to Take Action on Radon.) “When we received the test results in 2015, we became aware that Souris was definitely in a high risk zone,� explained Brett Fallis, building inspector for Souris Glenwood. “We are now going to be one of fifteen communities in Canada to receive 100 free radon test kits and they will be given out on a first come first serve basis.� Take Action on Radon

will make these 100 kits available to Souris residents and Brent Fallis at the Souris office will give them out. The kits sit in your home for 90 days and then are sent for testing. The results will be reported back to the community and if a need is there, residents can arrange to have a qualified installer place a Radon gas mitigation unit in your home. Mark Ryckman of Ryckman Plumbing and Heating is a certified installer for Souris-Glenwood. “We want people to call us and request a kit so that we can begin the testing,� explained Fallis. “This is something we want to do in the entire municipality, corner to corner. Just call the office and leave your name.� There will be a public hearing in the near future and the kits will be disbursed in mid-January, the optimal time for testing according to Fallis. You can reserve your kit by calling 204-4835200 or the Souris Glenwood Community Development Association, Echo Finlay at 204-741-0631.
