Grade 8 students making a difference

The Souris School Grade 8 class was busy on December 11 at St. Paul’s United Church wrapping the boxes that will be used for sending out the Christmas hampers. This group of young people, lead by Souris School teacher Bev Sobry continues to work to make their community a better place for all.

RCMP investigate thefts, dispatched to two-vehicle collision submitted On December 10th, 2018 at 3:05 pm Blue Hills RCMP were dispatched via provincial 911 to a two vehicle collision on Hwy 1A at road 113W in the RM of Cornwallis just west of Brandon. Brandon EMS and Fire on scene and Hwy 1A blocked off. Police investigate and determine a westbound white 2011 Kia Sportage LX driven by a 22-year-old Baldur/Brandon female was travelling westbound and became distracted and struck a stopped black 2009 4-door Chevrolet Malibu driven by a 51-year-old Brandon male attempting to turn south at Road 113W. In the Malibu was also a 58-yearold female relative. The occupants of the Mal-

ibu were taken to Brandon Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Seat belts were in use, air bags deployed and alcohol and speed were not a factor. The 22-year-old female was shook up but remained on scene and did not require medical attention. The 22-year-old female was issued a ticket under the Highway Traffic Act for “Follow too close” contrary to section 117(1), which carries a $143.00 fine. RCMP continues to urge motorists to concentrate on highway driving as a short distraction can lead to a significant collision. During the morning of November 25, 2018, Blue Hills RCMP received reports of Theft from two rural residences in the RM of North

Cypress-Langford, both located off Hwy 5 near the town of Wellwood, which is 15 km north of Hwy 1. The victim reported that a Honda auger engine went missing from one of his rural properties, while a Jackall jack and hydraulic cylinder went missing from another one of his properties nearby. The Jackall jack and hydraulic cyclinder are

believed to have been stolen sometime shortly before October 19, 2018, while the auger engine was stolen sometime between November 18 – 25, 2018. During the morning of December 3, 2018, Blue Hills RCMP received reports of a Break & Enter, and Theft from a Motor Vehicle, both occurring in the town of Treesbank,

located on the east side of Hwy 340, between Shilo and Wawanesa. The victim reported hearing noise on his property sometime between 2:30 4:30 a.m., and when he went outside later that morning, he found out that someone had gained access to all his vehicles, and a card lock gas card was missing. The victim then found out shortly after that someone had broken into the Treesbank Community Hall, leaving damage to the entrance, but nothing was reported missing from inside. Both incidences occurred somewhere between 11:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m., Dec. 2-3, 2018. It is believed they are related, and that the suspects in question are responsible for both. The RC-

Assiniboine announces new school

Memory Tree offers a place for reflection

The Souris Palliative Care Memory Tree was lit at the Souris Civic Centre on December 7. Individuals would buy a Memory Light in honour of a loved one who is no longer with us and those lights are illuminated at a special ceremony. Pictured here guests as well as Reverend Harvey Hurren PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER join in a hymm during the service.

Sports Rambling team. Lyle Franklin, Den Vandoorne, Brian Onslow, Wayne Coxworth, Bill Willox and Bob Clelland provided the offense for the Royals. Ted Griffith, George McGregor, Wayne Adams, Hugh Newton and Jim Spence were mentioned on the Comet side. Deloraine hosted the SWHL Allstar game with the Royals placing Wayne “Trigger” Wilson, Bob Clelland and Lyle Franklin on the squad. Ivan Wilson with Roy Clelland and Bob Astle coached the expansion team. Gary Ewen (without a mask) and bill Arnold played goal. Mike and don Lane, Dennis Olischefski, Fred Dujardin, Ken McGee, Dunc Mills, Bob Willox and Robin Couvier were also named in old clippings I looked at. The Deloraine Royals expansion team of 68-69 didn’t have the on-ice success of the Vegas Knights

SUDOKU

but they did capture the Eddy Armstrong trophy as provincial consolation-side winners. What happened in the next ten years was the formation of a SWHL dynasty. By 1979 they had won their six consecutive league titles. They also had three provincial A titles and the 1976 Manitoba/Saskatchewan championship. I tried to determine why this competition only lasted one year by contacting the Saskatchewan Hockey Association. All they had on file was a missing picture for the Indian Head Hotel and a room refund for Vern Percival. This 1976 team was inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame. The community support was tremendous, both for home games and filling the bus for road games. I cannot list all players and executives but with this team success (73-74 undefeated in league play) there were many indi-

vidual accomplishments. I will attempt to compile a list of MVP and scoring leaders in a future article. The high quality of play was also helped by playing on Delmar Main’s “best ice in Western Canada”. As the reunion approaches I have heard players who played in the later years say their hockey goals were not the NHL but to someday play for the Royals! My question last week asked who captained the Royals when they won their provincial “A” titles: 2014 – Joel Whiteside; 2008 – Brad Twordik; 1975, 76, 77 – Dennis Olischefski. This week trivia question wonders what family had the most Deloraine Royals from the same generation. Remember this season don’t drink and drive – you might hit one of the many former Royals out jogging to prepare for the alumni game January 12!

Prior to this recent shift, both the business and the agriculture & environment faculties were joined under a single school for nearly a decade. “I’m excited to be joining the college and getting to work overseeing Assiniboine’s expansive and growing ag education opportunities across Manitoba,” said Hore. “And what better time to be starting in the role than early in the new year.” Hore has spent the last 25 years in various leadership positions across the private and the public sectors including 15 years working for two different multinational food companies. For the past decade, Hore worked for the Manitoba Department of Agriculture. He was CEO of the Food Development Centre in Portage la Prairie, an operating agency of Manitoba Agriculture. Most recently, he was managing the department’s applied production research branch. Hore holds an Honours B.Sc. Agriculture and a Master in Agriculture from the University of Guelph. His research work was foundational in changing the beef grading system in Canada. Hore and his wife have three grown children. His oldest daughter is a graduate of the college’s Agribusiness program.

ANSWER:

By Dale McKinnon Fifty years since the Deloraine Royals hockey club began. It is hard to believe. I did not grow up in Deloraine but have been here for over 40 of those years. The Royals were a big reason I came to town. As a 21-year old beginning science teacher, the fact I knew four or five of the 1976 team was a good reason to apply for a job here. I arrived to a team who already had won three league titles and two provincials. But it has been interesting researching the first 10 years of Royals. Some people I knew, but didn’t realize their early contributions paved the road to this competitive team. The first season 196869 had eleven home games scheduled. Willis Bolduc was the club president. A write-up from an early, if not first home game had the Royals losing 5-4 to a veteran Waskada Comet

submitted As part of the continued development and expansion of agriculture programming and research at Assiniboine Community College, the college has separated business and agriculture & environment into two separate schools. Tim Hore will be welcomed in the new year as Dean, Agriculture & Environment. “We are delighted to be welcoming Tim to the team in January as we advance our efforts towards program leadership in agriculture and environment, which continues to be a stated priority in our college’s refreshed strategic direction,” said Dr. Deanna Rexe, Vice-President Academic. Currently, the college enrols approximately 260 students a year in agriculture and environment programs with an additional 850 registrations in ag extension courses. “Given the continued significance and opportunities that exist for agriculture in the provincial and national economy, Assiniboine continues to push forward with an aggressive agenda for growth,” added Rexe. “We recently developed a new academic plan for growth and expansion as well as adopting an applied research strategy for these related program areas.”

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!

Reader concerned with Gerry Ritz’s Hall of Fame induction

Dear Editor, Around Nov. 9/2018 many Western newspapers contained a letter by Ian Robson of Manitoba, which pointed out the fallacy of former Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz being inducted to the Agriculture Hall of Fame. The next issue contained a letter by Kevin Bender (Chairman of Alberta Wheat Commission) strongly disagreeing with Robson’s analysis of why Ritz is a very poor selection. Sorry Kevin, I agree with Robson’s analysis. Ritz was the head honcho in the attack to get rid of the farmer owned Canadian Wheat Board, and in reality plundered and sold cheaply CWB assets owned by farmers. Those assets included hopper cars, office buildings, grain ships, plus cash. These assets were given to a foreign entity. Ritz also killed the community pasture program, the shelterbelt program, Indian Head Tree Nursery, cut Agri-stability

programs, Port of Churchill along with the rail line was given to foreign owned Omnitrax. He gutted the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, cut $3 billion from Agriculture Canada. Spending cuts in Agriculture sector under Ritz in 201213 were nearly $15 million. He not only threw farmers to the corporate wolves, but also endorsed the trade deals to weaken Canada’s supply management. To add insult to injury, during the 2008 listeriosis crisis that had already killed 17 people, Ritz’s comment was “This is like death by a thousand cuts- or should I say cold cuts.” When informed that another death had occurred in PEI, Ritz’s comment was “please tell me it’s Wayne Easter” who was the Ag critic at the time. Does Kevin Bender or for that matter Toronto’s Royal Agriculture Winter Fair really think Ritz should be named to the Agriculture Hall of Fame. I do not. Joyce Neufeld, Waldeck, Sask.

As of the end of November, 237 Manitoba drivers have had their driver’s licence suspended — for the minimum three-day period — since Manitoba’s new distracted driving law took effect November 1. The Winnipeg Police Service reports having apprehended 149 drivers, while the RCMP and Brandon Police Service reported that 67 and 21 drivers, respectively, were charged for using hand-operated electronic devices while driving. “Distracted driving remains a very serious road safety issue in Manitoba,” said Satvir Jatana, vice-president responsible for communications, Manitoba Public Insurance. “In 2017 alone, distracted driving was a contributing factor in more than 15,000 collisions, while 30 Manitobans lost their lives in distracted-related motor vehicle collisions. “These police enforcement numbers confirm that too many Manitobans are still not getting the message about the dangers

and consequences of distracted driving, and that should be a concern for all road users,” added Jatana. In addition to an immediate roadside suspension, drivers convicted of using a hand-operated electronic device while driving also face a fine of $672 and five demerits on the Driver Safety Rating Scale. “Our officers regularly see distracted drivers cause collisions that result in serious injury and even death on roadways throughout the province, these drivers are a clear risk to all Manitobans,” said Assistant Commissioner Scott Kolody, Commanding Officer of the Manitoba RCMP and President of the Manitoba Association Chiefs of Police. “These new, strong penalties send a very clear message that such driving behaviour will not be tolerated. Officers across the province will continue to look for, ticket and suspend distracted drivers so that Manitoba roads are safer for everyone.”

NDP leader Kinew calls for mobile cancer units to be restored Manitoba NDP Leader Wab Kinew expressed concern about the future of the mobile cancer clinic ‘Breastcheck’ after receiving multiple reports of last minute cancelled appointments. “Cancer screening saves lives - that this is why mobile units are so important. They provide essential health care to thousands of women outside Winnipeg,” said Kinew. “This is the second year in a row that the mobile units have been taken out of service without warning—that’s countless appointments cancelled” Kinew called on the Health Minister

to explain why this service has been interrupted for the second year in a row and whether there have been any changes to policy regarding the locations the mobile units serve. “We know the Government is currently conducting a value for money review of Cancer Care —the Government needs to clear the air and explain why the mobile units are not operating for a second year in a row and they need to restore the service, and re-book appointments for patients, as soon as possible” said Kinew.

An Old Fashion Christmas held at the Museum

submitted Oh what a night! December 8 was a great evening of music, fellowship, wonderful food and drinks. The evening began with some delightful entertainment by very young violinists Savery Hatch and her cousin Finley Klassen, along with Hermione Clair and Hope Winters. Gabriella Winters joined them on the cello. Unfortunately Hermione’s brother Jai was ill and could not perform. Savery and Finley mothers, Ashley Hatch and Amberley Klassen, who are sisters and former members of the Fantasy Fiddlers, played along side their daughters. They played under the direction of Marla Winters. The crowd adored them. Next on the program was Souris’ own Grant Jackson, and Souris School music teacher Brady Chyzk. They were very entertaining as they sang their selection of songs, both together and singly. Individually, Grant also showed his talents off with a solo on the saxophone, and Brady’s instrument of choice was the guitar. Glenda McConnell ably accompanied them. Glenda does bring out the best on the museum piano, which was built in 1862! The trio finished off their portion

of the evening by inviting their friend Taylor Friesen to join them in a beautiful rendition of Michael Buble’s White Christmas. In the last three weeks Brady learned to play the string bass, which was one of the instruments needed to add the extra special touch to this version of the song. After an intermission, Keven Bowie, together with Diane Nelson of Brandon finished off the evening with their many traditional Christmas songs. They also had the audience join in for a singsong and a highlight of the evening was when Jean Dornian was invited up to join in a song. Jean, along with Keven and Diane did a wonderful job. It takes many people to make this evening so special. Thanks goes out to Sharon and Nicki from Plaza Petals who turned the already beautiful Hillcrest Museum into a Christmas Wonderland that included among other things, fresh greenery, giant nutcrackers and candles. They graciously made four swags to be given away. The lucky winners were Pheme Andrew, Bill Legge, Arva Wiess and Eleanor Thompson. Thank you to St. Paul’s United Church for

Legion News By Gale Collinson Our cribbage players needed six tables on Wednesday, December 5. Apparently the ladies decided that it was their night. Betty-Lou Noble and Rae McBurney finished the evening with the highest score. Evelyn Harlton and Deb Robinson claimed second place and the third prize went to Cindy Janz and Amelia Morden. Vonda Bodin held the winning ticket on the 50-50 draw. Last cribbage evening for 2018 will be Wednesday, December19. Only 15 people attended our bingo evening on December 6, so the pots were not very big. However, some people made more noise than others. Making four shouts were Darlene Dooley and Doreen Edgars. Doreen made her last yell on the “Little House” which was worth $25. Barb Gordon managed three hollers and two yells came from Lee Johnson and Gale Collinson. Last bingo for 2018 will be Thursday, December 20.

Our meat draw of Friday, December 7, was well attended. Darrell Kempthorne and Sam Matiowsky were able to take two packages of meat home. By the way, Sam only got the second package by drawing his own number. The 50-50 draw amounted to $267 and Joan Dufily was the lucky recipient. Darrell Kempthorne tried to keep his luck going by locating the Ace of Spades. Ace did not cooperate and the pot of $5,215 will be added to again 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. Only birthday I heard about was that of Scott Phillips on December 6. Please remember that our General Meeting will be held on Tuesday, December18, starting at 8:00 p.m. This is our Election Night so it is very important that a large number of members attend this meeting.

Sabres capture crown at tournament The Varsity Girls Basketball team hit the road for their first tournament action of the year at the Cougar Classic in Carberry last weekend. The ladies first game was against Ste Rose. A strong first half saw the Sabres pull out to a lead behind strong shooting from the perimeter. Erica Luptak got things going hitting two three pointers in the first quarter! The team played terrific defence all game and won the opener 55-31. Paige Eissner led the way with 18 points and 15 rebounds. Megan Simon potted eight points and added seven rebounds. In the semi-final later Friday night the team faced a tough test from Treherne. The Tigers brought an aggressive approach and the game was close throughout. A strong second quarter saw the ladies take a 10-point lead, which they would hold the rest of the contest. Terrific guard play

by Michelle Perez and Amee Butterfield was a big difference as the Sabres punched their ticket to the finals with a 54-43 victory. Paige again led all scores with 19 points and 14 rebounds, while Catherine Punay added six points. A strong team from Glenboro were the match up in the tournament final. Once again the ladies displayed hard work on the defensive end limiting the best player from the Panthers to only 10 points. Before leaving the game with a rolled ankle late in fourth quarter Paige once again was dominant on the floor. Her teammates set her up beautifully all night as she poured in 25 points and hauled down 12 boards. Sara Gonzalez added eight points and Carina Punay chipped in six more as the Sabres captured the tournament crown with a 55-46 win. The ladies travel to Steinbach this weekend for more tournament action.

Sabres capture tournament crown!

Souris Collision & Glass earns official certification

Certified Collision Care, a non-profit consumer advocacy organization for maintaining the right tools, equipment, training, and facilities necessary to repair the participating Automaker brand vehicles according to the manufacturer’s specifications, has officially certified Souris Collision & Glass. In achieving their Certification, Souris Collision & Glass is now an integral part of the most advanced repair capable and efficient collision repair network in the world. Adding to their credentials, Souris Collision & Glass is officially certified by Certified Collision Care, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford Certified, and Kia. To become certified by the various Automakers, Souris Collision & Glass

passed the rigorous Certification process essential to help ensure a proper and safe repair of the new generation of advanced vehicles. Less than five per cent of body shops across the nation are able to meet the stringent requirements to become officially certified and recognized. The Certified network is made up exclusively of best-in-class collision repair businesses that have met or exceeded the strict requirements of the Certification program. According to Souris Collision & Glass president, Donald Smith, “Our business was built on a foundation of excellence and ethical business practices. We strive to provide the highest-quality repair for our customers. Our state-of-the-art facility and certified technicians

Join Our Team Pro Canada West Energy Inc. is a pipeline, facility and integrity contractor committed to the people we employ and the communities that we work in. We oer competitive wages and beneďŹ ts for all of our employees.

Hiring: LABOURERS Pro Canada West is looking to hire hard working, motivated individuals for work in Manitoba out of our Melita oďŹƒce. Applicants must have H2S and a valid drivers licence. Pipeline and oilďŹ eld experience is an asset but not mandatory. All resumes can be sent to jesse.mcmullen@procanadawest.com

give us the ability to achieve this Certified status.â€? The Certification criteria are based upon auto manufacturer requirements. These are critical to ensure the vehicle fit, finish, durability, value and safety following an accident. As new model vehicles are being introduced that use lightweight high strength materials and advanced technology, a proper repair according to manufacturer specification is even more important than ever to ensure the passenger safety and proper performance of the vehicle. Auto manufacturers want to ensure that consumers have the option of Certified Collision Repair wherever they live, work, or travel. “Consumers need the confidence and peace of mind to know their vehicle is being repaired by a shop that has what it takes to ensure the vehicle safety. Souris Collision & Glass is officially a Collision Care Provider™,â€? said Scott Biggs, CEO of Assured Performance Collision Care™. “They represent the standard by which all other body shops are measured.â€?

Acknowledged for exceptional service

Don Smith and staff at Souris Collision & Glass have been officially certified by Certified Collision Care, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford Certified, and Kia. The Certified network is made up exclusively of best-in-class collision repair businesses that have met or exceeded the strict requirements of the Certification program. Pictured here (L-R): Arsene Daigle, Hub, Tyson Lewis, Liam Toms, Bernice Michaud, and Don Smith. PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER

plain, “This certification from Collision Care is only a few of the manufacturers that use Collision Care and represents a small portion of the vehicles that we are certified to repair. MPIC has done exactly the same certification process with us and certifies us on all makes and models. Not just those listed in the press release from Certified Collision Care. Certified Collision Care is working on bringing in more manufacturers

into their Network. When it comes to Nissan the manufacturers must sponsor a shop in order to be qualified thru Collision Care. There are other Certification companies similar to Certified Collision Care. But because this is a fairly new area of business, we have a few certification companies out there. They can’t all represent the manufacturers, so I suspect that in a few years you will see some drop out and some amalgamate.�

Certified Collision Care is the Canadian division of Assured Performance Network, the largest network of OEM Certified repair providers in the world with over 2,800 Collision Care Providers participating, and administers the Canadian Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network, Mopar Certified Collision Repair Facility, Kia Certified Collision Repair Centre and Ford National Body Shop Network Certified programs.
