Souris Atom Elks runners-up at Tournament of Champions
submitted The Souris Atom Elks minor hockey team entered the Tournament of Champions in Oak River last weekend to compete against six other teams for a chance to win entry into the Brandon Tournament of Champions in February.
Souris won their first game against Tri-Valley, then won two hard fought close games against Hamiota to make it to the finals where they faced Virden. The Souris Atom Elks notched the first point of the game, but Virden came back to win the game 4-1.
During the tournament, a skills competition took place and Avery Samels from Souris won the stickhandling competition. Two Souris Elks players, Avery Samels and Hayden Turner were named to tournament AllStar team.
The Souris Atom Elks made a run for the championship in the recent Oak River Tournament of Champions. After a strong tournament, they fell just shy of that goal in a disappointing loss to Virden in the championship final. Pictured here are the Souris Atom Elks: Standing (L-R): Coaches Glen Tosh (Head Coach), Brock Anderson (AC), David Edmunds (AC).

Solutions & Substitutions Dear Reena, I am wondering how to remove the white adhesive that is stuck on our cherry, wood table without damaging the wood? Donna Dear Donna, The simplest solution for removing adhesive on wood, is to wipe a small amount of either mayonnaise or peanut butter (smooth not crunchy) onto the area. Remove the access with a soft cloth, and clean the table as normal. Rubbing alcohol and WD-40 are also effective, however; these choices may strip the finish of the wood. Dear Reena, I was told to seal my countertop, and ever since I sealed it, the wood has a white film on it. I have tried several solutions to remove it. Dish soap cleans it, but only temporarily. I am desperate, I hate the look of it because it has no shine. Molly Dear Molly, Consider contacting the counter manufacturer. There is an enormous assortment of granite countertops on the market, and using products, not recommended by the manufacturer, can void the warranty. One popular tool used to remove scale on granite counters is a razor blade, however; this is recommended for professional use, as you do not want to mark the countertop. Another option is to purchase soap scum remover formulated specifically for granite countertops. Note: Not all granite countertops require sealing, check with the manufacture to verify whether your particular counter should be

stripped or sealed. Dear Reena, Our red dyed leather sofa has been stained by chocolate. I removed the hardened portion, and then attempted to remove the stain with dishwashing liquid. This has resulted in a dark brown center, with a very light outer ring, where the dye has been somewhat removed. What can I do to restore the leather? Thank-you very much for your response. Ruben Dear Ruben, Apply a small amount of vinegar to the area, this may be all you need to get the job done. Whenever attempting to clean leather, you should always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Over the years readers have had great results getting rid of stains by using one of the following: non-bleach, non-gel toothpaste, shaving cream, hairspray, Goof Off, Goo Gone, Sunlight bar soap, saddle soap, Windex, Calvin Klein Obsessions After Shave or Axe Body Spray. Discontinue application if leather dye begins to fade. Another favorite leather cleaner and renewing product is Urad (available on-line). Fabulous Tips of the Week Remove dead skin by dabbing the chapped area with mayonnaise; leave it to dry for a few minutes. Rub area with damp fingers, dead skin will disappear from feet, knees, elbows, or face.

Five key trends to watch in Canadian agriculture in 2018 submitted Regina, Saskatchewan, January 3, 2018 – While many farmers are planning their seeding for 2018, Farm Credit Canada’s (FCC) agriculture economists have five trends they want to plant in the minds of Canadian producers, food processors and retailers. “Agriculture is a dynamic sector that is interconnected with so many local and global economic trends,” said J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist for FCC. “Making sense of those top trends allows the agriculture and agri-food sectors to identify possible challenges and opportunities in 2018.” Adding value to Canadian farm products The investment climate for Canadian agriculture infrastructure is heating up as more food handling and processing facilities are expected to be built across the country to meet increasingly complex consumer preferences at home and abroad. “The economic environment for investment in Canadian food processing remains favourable, given low interest rates and strong demand for food, both domestically and globally,” Gervais said. He said significant investments in food processing that were announced in 2017 are expected to come online within the next two years. These investments support the approach outlined by the Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which called for targeted investments in Canada’s agriculture and food industry to support its global growth potential. “The ability to add value to farm
products will continue to strengthen Canadian agriculture, as well as benefit the entire economy,” Gervais said. A strong balance sheet is the best farm asset The theory that a strong balance sheet is a farmer’s best defense against changing economic and market conditions could be put to the test in 2018, according to Gervais. He said most Canadian producers have built strong balance sheets in recent years, thanks to a significant appreciation in farm incomes and asset values, particularly land, which represents almost 70 per cent of the value of total farm assets. Farmland values will continue to increase in 2018, but lose a bit of steam due to moderate projections for income growth. The Canadian dollar is expected to hover just below the 80-cent mark this year, which will help support farm income, however, global production trends suggest it’s unlikely commodity prices will generally increase in 2018. “Most farm operations are in a good financial position to weather most significant economic changes,” Gervais said, adding that strong working capital – along with a sound risk management plan – can help producers through shortterm economic and market disruptions. Global economy shines bright on Canada Trade negotiations and protectionism abroad can be cause for anxiety among Canadian producers, food processors and exporters, but the global economy is
a source for optimism, according to Gervais. “The global economic environment will sustain strong demand for Canadian food products and commodities as the world economy strengthens in 2018,” said Gervais, adding it’s important to look beyond the daily headlines. “Wages in both developing economies and North America should continue to climb, giving consumers more income to spend on food.” While there is always potential for disruptions, Gervais believes Canada is in a unique position to expand its markets in 2018. “We have important trade advantages that will enable us to grow our exports of some of the world’s fastest-growing food products,” he said. “Potential new opportunities will be created through the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Europe and growth in emerging markets.” Keeping up with consumer buying habits Technology, combined with growing consumer desire for convenience and choice, are causing significant ripples throughout Canada’s food processing and retail sectors, according to Gervais. “It’s creating a domino effect,” Gervais said. “Traditional retailers are now looking to food processors to supply them with unique products that can separate them from the competition. These trends are also changing the supplier-buyer relationship, as more consumers are buying locally grown food directly from producers.” Specialty foods are also growing in popularity, thanks in part to the convenience of online shopping, and there are a growing number of consumers who choose brands that reflect their values.

ers have mainly relied on fossil fuels to power their equipment and heat their barns. That’s not going to change much in 2018, even with the promotion of renewable energy. What might change, according to Gervais, is that a growing demand for biofuels could open more opportunities for agricultural commodities to be used in their production. “While the U.S. ethanol and biodiesel markets are expected to provide stability to the overall demand for corn and vegetable oil, new ethanol targets at home and abroad could create more opportunities for agricultural commodities,” he said. Meanwhile, abundant supplies of fossil fuels are expected to keep energy prices down on the farm, as well as limit inflationary pressures on farm fertilizers, which are produced using fossil fuels, such as natural gas, coal and oil.

To the Editor It was repealed, very quietly, one year ago. The Manitoba Farm Building Code was introduced in 2010, in response to the rash of hog barn fires that occurred in 2008. Over thirty thousand pigs were killed in barn fires in that year alone. They were tough economic times in the hog business. The 2010 code moved buildings such as large hog barns into the light or medium industrial category. Make no mistake these are industrial facilities. With this came a number of more stringent building requirements including: a dedicated fire-fighting pond on site, a higher standard fire alarm system including more smoke detectors, more firewall separations (including fire-stops in the attic space), fire retardant coverings on interior walls, and spatial separation between barns. At the time the then president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, Ian Wishart, praised these changes, saying “We believe these new standards are a practical, common-sense approach to fire safety”. I am not sure if the now Minister Wishart still holds those views. So what changed? The government did, and the new one was looking to boost the provinces hog industry, with a three pronged “red tape” attack. The Building Code was the first prong, but it is difficult to equate these changes to mere “red tape.” What are the consequences of repealing the more stringent code? A lower standard of fire alarm system with fewer smoke detectors, coupled with the fact that no one lives on site, means the fire will likely be well involved when discovered. No on-site water supply means any prospect of launching a meaningful fire fighting effort is lost. Fewer fire-stops and less fire retardant covering means the fire spreads rapidly, and there is no chance for containment. Clustering of barns means most likely the whole complex will go up. So stand well back. You don’t send your fire fighters into that! Manitoba Pork tells us that roughly one thousand aging hog barns will be due for replacement in the coming years. As well they are seeking more finisher barns to fully supply the packing plants. So the new barns will be built to this lower standard, for a few percentage points saving in construction costs. What is missing in all of this is any consideration for the fate of the pigs - they are disposable. Since the repeal of the code last January a further eleven thousand pigs have perished in barn fires in Manitoba. That brings the official count to over eighty seven thousand pig deaths by fire since 2002. Sadly we can predict more. Each time on the average over one thousand pigs die; almost always there are no survivors. This is a question of ethics: As a so called civilised society – does this rollback in the building code represent progress in humane pig production, or have we in truth taken a very significant step backwards in this province? Common sense, it would appear, is no longer required. Jon Crowson, Oak River, Manitoba

Sports Ramblings By Dale McKinnon I have enjoyed sports for as long as I can remember. They have helped me keep fit and meet many great people. Sport is advertised as away to increase fitness and build character. On a recent trip overseas we observed the city of Freiburg, Germany achieved these goals in a different way. In the 1990s the French turned over a military base to the city. It had a 5000 person residential area. The local government decided to plan for this new-found suburb. They created a “car free” energy self-sufficient zone within the city. The result was a community where everyone walked, biked or took public transport. A visit to the area shows a friendly and fit population. They know their neighbours because they meet them every day. This, of course, spawns local businesses. All buildings must also be energy sustainable. They have active and passive solar power and waste and energy plants on site. The community within the city has become the “ “ to live. You know, it reminded me of Deloraine! (We could walk more!) In the real sports world, Ryan Caldwell’s Daemyung Killer Whales finished 6th and out of the Asian hockey league playoffs. Ashton Bell had an assist in Canada’s 5-1 victory over Germany to finish in 5th place. Canada lost to Russia 2-1 and Finland 3-2 in the round robin. Ashton played on Canada’s Development team but I believe the other teams were their Olympic squads. The high school Colts are 8-5-1 and play winless Roblin in Hartney January 13 and undefeated Vincent Massey in Deloraine on January 17. Tanner Ardron, Zac Maddess and Grady Franklin are in the top 20 scorers of the 19-team league. Bradley Schoonbaert (Wilma’s grandson) still leads the scoring in the MJHL. It was over 20 years ago Jeff Cassan, Rennen Rommelaere and Ryan Caldwell were picked in the Western Hockey bantam draft. This week’s trivia asks what current Winnipeg Jets played 11 games with the Brandon Wheat Kings.
The Souris Minor Hockey Squirt team hosted their home tournament on January 6. There were eight teams including the home squad. Pictured above, the ice is broken into sections and each game is played half PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER ice. Here we see two teams competing for the win.
Souris Squirts host home tournament
By Darci Semeschuk January 6 was a fun-filled day of excitement, camaraderie and hockey for members of the Souris Squirts hockey team. They hosted eight teams from Southwestern Manitoba in what is sure to be one of many tournaments. According to team manager, Teagan Kleiver, the eight teams in attendance were Wawanesa, Brandon Fly-
ers, Hartney, Boissevain Team L and Team B, Deloraine, and Virden Team Rampton. The young players competed from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., each team playing two games. The day wrapped up with players receiving a nice little trophy for their efforts! The parents of the Souris team, along with some local businesses donated prizes for our raffle table.

Sambrook back to full health
Page 7, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, January 12, 2018
by Branden Crowe Last year (2017) was a tough year for Medora’s Garrett Sambrook. The 17-year-old defenseman had to overcome a health scare, a shoulder injury, a fractured foot and most recently a torn MCL. The injuries have limited him to just 14 games this season, split between the Brandon Wheat Kings and the Virden Oil Capitals. After enjoying some much needed time off at Christmas, Sambrook brings a clean bill of health into 2018. “My knee feels pretty good right now,” said Sambrook. “It seemed like an eternity to be away from the rink so it’s nice to get back into the swing of things.” The former sixth-round WHL Bantam Draft Pick joined the Oil Capitals on November 23 and has quickly
Pair of wins put Southwest at 500
By Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars entered the New Year on a three game slide. They got back to 500-hockey with a pair of weekend wins. Saturday afternoon in Portage the Cougars got out to a three goal lead only to have Central Plains rally with a pair of third period goals as the Cats hung on for the win and move two points up on the Capitals in the standings. Sunday afternoon the Winnipeg Bruins paid a final visit to Souris and dropped a 5-3 decision as the Cougars moved into a seventh place tied with Yellowhead with 31 points. Saturday afternoon Tanner Lawrence opened the scoring on a delayed penalty at 17:29 with Tanner Andrew and Josh Wiens earning the helpers. The game was a physical affair with the teams entering the weekend tied at 27 points. Jared McCorrister got sprung free as Jordan Chudley broke the play in the Cougars zone and moved it to Tanner Andrew springing McCorrister. His wicked wrist shot from the top of the circle beat Rhett Boschman with a shorthanded goal at 9:10, a minute later Tyson Kozak scored the eventual game winner from Cory King and Rylan Gudnason chasing Boschman from the game. The Capitals scored early in the third when Randy Cooke failed to corral a puck off the back boards and Mitchell Wilson scored into a wide open net 2 minutes into the period. Jordan Rodgers made it close when he scored 4 minutes later. Randy Cooke then shut the door finishing the game with 38 saves while the Cougars fired 33 at the Caps net. The win was the Cougars 14th win of the year. Sunday afternoon the Winnipeg Bruins and the Cougars hooked up for the fourth time this season and the Cougars looking to take the season series. The Bruins opened the scoring when they fired home a loose puck at 6:15. Callum Fortin evened the score a minute later from Matthew Ramsey and Tyson Pringle in a goalmouth scramble. The Cougars upped the lead as Rylan Gudnason wacked in a loose puck from Tyson Kozak at the midway mark of the period. The Bruins tied the score on a screen shot before the period ended as the teams went to the room tied at 2. The Bruins took the lead eight minutes into the second period but the Cougars responded with another greasy goal as Tanner Clyne found the net with Leighton Holstein and Rylan Gudnason in on the goal to tie the game at 3. The teams played a scoreless third until Josh Wiens found the back of the net from Jordan Chudley and Rylan Gudnason at 15:04. The Bruins pulled Matthew Merkel with just under two minutes left and were robbed a couple of times by Riley Wallace who finished the game with 30 saves. Cory King then picked the puck off and found the open net from centre ice to put the game away with 62 seconds left in the contest. The game was a fast paced game with the Cougars defeating the Bruins for the third time this season and improving to 15-15-1, good for 31 points. The Cougars travel to Kenora for a pair of games on the weekend then visit Brandon on the January 17 before hosting Parkland and Norman on the January 19 and 20 in Souris.
found himself at home. “The guys here in Virden have made me feel very welcome,” added Sambrook. “Being around these guys has given me the confidence to get back into the game and play my heart out.” Leaving home at 16-years-old to play in the WHL is tough enough, but to have to leave once city and head to another new place doesn’t make things any easier. However, the community of Virden has embraced the small town farm boy from just down the road with open arms. “The players and staff have treated me like gold from day one. My billets Ryan and Kelli Potter have been great and it has made the transition effortless.”
While Sambrook adjusts to life in a new town, he has one familiar face to help with the transition. Oil Capitals head coach Troy Leslie has coached Sambrook in a variety of roles since he first stepped on the ice. The former teacher in Melita has helped keep Sambrook’s mind in the right frame as he dealt with a string of injuries. “Troy has been in my corner since day one. Whether it be as skills or skating coach or just a guy to bounce ideas off, he has made me love the game again,” added Sambrook. “He knows what kind of player I am and he knows where I want to get with my career so it makes it much easier to work together.”

Third place Elks suffer two losses on weekend
By Darci Semeschuk The Third place Souris Elks suffered two losses on January 5 & 6. Sitting with nineteen points, five points out of first behind Killarney with 24 and Boissevain with 22, the team has four games left in regular season action. The Souris Senior Elks played host to the Boissevain Border Kings on Friday, January 5. The Elks were not as lucky as Team Canada losing 4-1. The designated shooter of the game did not score so at the next game when the Elks designated shooter scores the person holding the Designated Shooter gate ticket will get three $25 gift cards thanks the Chicken Chef. The $25 gift card for the Shoot to Win contest was not won but thanks to Souris Collision and Glass and Pembina Coop for their support. The $10 cash Youth Shoot to Win was picked up by Loren Funk. Nick Canam of Hamiota won the door prize of four Adult Wheat King game Tickets sponsored by Crescent Financial. Clark King won the 50/50 of $52.50. Third placed Elks lost a tough one January 6 in a shoot out to the second place Killarney Shamrocks. Bob Greig put a puck in the net to win the Shoot to Win $25 gift card, thanks to Pembina Coop and Souris Collision and Glass. Dray Ireland won the $10 Youth Shoot to win donated by LT’s Corner Store. Unfortunately Cathy Suski did not get $25 gift card (plus the 2 carried over cards), as our Designated Shooter did not score, thanks to Chicken Chef. Chris Couling won the $94 50/50. The next home game is January 27. The Designated Shooter gate ticket holder will win four $25 gift cards if our designated shooter scores. Also one lucky gate ticket holder will shoot for $25,000 in our Shoot to Win. The Elks Win be playing host to the Deloraine Royals.
