Welcome back to school Students in the Southwest Horizon School Division headed back to class on September 5. Pictured here, the long line of school buses waited their turn to drop off their precious cargo. For the students, it can be an exciting time and for others, a nerve wracking experience.

School – it’s a game of numbers By Pierre Pelletier, Melita New Era Total student enrolment in the Southwest Horizon School Division (SHSD) is down slightly from last year at the same time. In September 2017, 1,588 students were enrolled in the 13 schools the SHSD oversees; this year, the number sits at 1,555, down 33 students or two per cent. School Enrolment Ranking the 13 schools from largest student population to smallest (2017 enrolment is in brackets),

Souris tops the list this year with 420 (433) students, followed by Wawanesa 249 (244); Deloraine 209 (220); Melita 207 (205); Hartney 144 (152); Pierson 89 (90); Waskada 69 (73); Newdale 42 (49); Souris River 36 (29); Maple Grove 35 (39); Nature Valley 27 (23); Green Acres 16 (19); and Oakland 12 (12). There are 134 full time equivalent teacher positions and 133 full time support staff positions this year for the 13 schools and 1,555 students – to-

tal operating budget this year for SHSD is set at $23,562,228. In addition, there are 656 students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 riding the yellow school buses this year on 34 different bus routes – that works out to 42 per cent of all SHSD students take a school bus to and from their school. (Provincial requirements mandate that school divisions bus town students who live greater than 1.6 km from their school.) Carolyn Cory, superin-

tendent of SHSD, said that whether the overall student enrolment this year is up or down, the school division is focused on following its planned objectives. “We are pleased that our enrolment is steady,” said Cory. “Of course our hope is always that enrolment will increase but we will move forward with our Strategic Plan for each of our students, regardless of possible fluctuating enrolment.” The Strategic Plan is in its second year at SHSD and has three pil-

lars: 1) Character, Culture and Ethical Citizenship – building strong relationships with students, families, and communities; 2) Literacy and Numeracy as the Foundation – focus on Reading Apprenticeship strategies and further roll outs of the Numeracy Action Research Pilot Project to more students so that they can apply those skills in their everyday lives; and 3) Engagement and Deep Learning – focus on the development of the students as citizens so they may develop the

In a press release describing the three pillars of their Strategic Plan, SHSD said, “We will continue to support new initiatives whether that be through inquiry based learning, community partnerships, flexible timetables, the incorporation of technology, extended industrial arts, as well as other efforts to tie the classroom to the world.”

BELIEVE IT? How do Canadians know if it’s true (or not)? They turn to the trusted source: Newspapers in print, online, tablet and phone. And, research finds that they trust the ads there too – more than those in any other medium. Be where Canadians look.

by Aaron Wudrick, Federal Director Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation For Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Federal Court of Appeal’s recent decision to overturn approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion was a political thunderbolt that instantly derailed progress on one of his government’s most critical files. Luckily for the purveyor of sunny ways, the storm clouds came with a silver lining: a careful reading of the decision also offers some guidance on how his government can get Trans Mountain back on track. There has been no shortage of twists and turns on the pipeline front for Trudeau. Having directly or indirectly killed off alternative pipeline proposals and under immense pressure to get one built, he proceeded to buy a way out of the problem, and in so doing shifted the project’s risks from Kinder Morgan shareholders onto the backs of Canadian taxpayers. Mere hours after the release of the court decision on August 30, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley delivered a bombshell: Alberta was pulling out of the federal climate change plan (while, curiously, leaving its existing carbon tax in place), and she demanded that, among other things, the federal government immediately seek to appeal to the Supreme Court. It’s hard to blame Notley, who will be fighting for her political life next spring, for taking a throweverything-and-see-whatsticks approach. But the reality is that a Supreme Court appeal not only will take a long time — a year would be highly optimistic — but faces uncertain odds of success. It’s noteworthy that the court ultimately rejected every attack made on the approval process save two. But on those two issues, it essentially concluded that both the Governor in Council (for practical purposes, the Prime Minister and his cabinet) and the National Energy Board (NEB) just didn’t do their jobs properly. The good news for the Trudeau government, which has spent considerable political capital and billions of taxpayer dollars on this lemon of a project, is that the court has provided some pretty useful

guidance on how it can now make some lemonade. The appeal court identified two critical flaws in the approval process: the NEB’s failure to consider the environmental impact of increased project-related shipping, and the government’s insufficiently robust consultation with Indigenous stakeholders. On the first point, the concern of the court is quite narrow. The NEB actually did consider the impact of project-related shipping; but it did so in compliance with only one piece of legislation (the National Energy Board Act) and not with another law (the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012). The NEB concluded, among other things, that the increased level of shipping would result in “significant, adverse effects” upon the killer whale population. But the NEB’s decision to exclude project-related shipping from the scope of the official definition of “project” as set out in section 2(1) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act meant it avoided triggering obligations under a third piece of legislation: section 79 of the Species at Risk Act. If the NEB had taken the Species at Risk Act into account, it would have been required to ensure that cabinet was aware of its obligations to avoid or lessen the negative effects on killer whales. In effect, the court found that even though the NEB had properly identified the risk to whales, because it had failed to follow the Species at Risk Act, its report was flawed and cabinet couldn’t rely on it to make a valid decision. The remedy, the court said, is to have cabinet send the report back to the NEB and ask it to include project-related shipping in a revised assessment of the project’s environmental impact. This wouldn’t require a complete do-over, and the court observes that cabinet “may specify a time limit” for the NEB to reconsider. So far, so good. The second issue identified by the court, insufficient consultation with Indigenous groups, is trickier. The court found that the government’s duty to consult was not fulfilled by what it had done so far (which the court described as simply taking “meeting notes”) but also that the process it now requires “does not give Indigenous

groups a veto” over the project. Where, then, is the middle ground to be found? Once again, the court provides guidance, stating that the Phase III consultation — direct dialogue between the government and Indigenous groups about the latter’s concerns — must be redone, and that only after this is completed and “any accommodation made” can cabinet then reconsider the project. These statements suggests that the court expects evidence of accommodation of Indigenous concerns to be made before cabinet makes a final decision — a distinct departure from the previous process of officials simply reporting and recommending to cabinet. Encouragingly, the court is clear that remedying the flaws doesn’t have to be a lengthy process, going so far as to say that Canada can make the corrected process “brief and efficient, while ensuring it is meaningful.” How brief? The original Phase III consultation for Trans Mountain in 2016 was 10 months long, and, with much of the information and dialogue exchanged in that process still germane today, discussions on potential accommodations could theoretically begin from a more advanced position. Additionally, the same appeal court’s 2016 Gitxaala decision, which overturned approval of the Northern Gateway project on similar grounds, provides some guidance on a timeline; in that case, extending consultations by “in the neighbourhood of four months” might suffice. This suggests that the court is contemplating a revised process that is measured in months rather than years. This is good news for Trudeau, who is facing an election in just over a year. In spite of the lengths (and taxpayer expense) his government has gone to in order to keep the Trans Mountain expansion project alive, many Canadians still harbour doubts about how serious it is about getting Trans Mountain built. Armed with direction from the Federal Court of Appeal itself, the Trudeau government can prove its sceptics wrong by moving swiftly to repair the identified defects in the project approval process and get shovels back in the ground.

EDITORIAL Google suggests the hole was from a mole By Nancy Johnson, Publisher, Souris Plaindealer Nancy Johnson is Vice President of Manitoba Operations for the Glacier Media’s Prairie Newspaper Group and recently moved to Manitoba as Publisher of the Souris Plaindealer. It was a Saturday a few weeks ago when I discovered it while mowing my lawn. I stepped into a hole which was not there just a week before. It was three or four inches in diameter and surrounded by what looked like a light coloured sand. “What the heck is this?” I asked myself. Like any good, technically-savvy baby boomer, I walked into the house and Googled “Why do I have a hole in my lawn in Brandon, Manitoba?” A number of search results appeared, but all of them suggested that I had a mole. A mole? Really? I have

a mole? I don’t know anything about the rodents, let alone how to get rid of one. The adventure really began with the results of my next search: “How do I get rid of a mole in my lawn in Brandon, Manitoba?” I read about a number of options, the most notable ones involving poison & traps. Castor oil was even offered as a solution. I was disinclined to use poison and the thought of emptying the trap was just about enough to do me in. My research continued. While reading a blog, one fellow shared that he had put a garden hose down the hole to drown the creature and it never came back. Good, I thought. I can handle this. I tromped off to the store to buy myself a garden hose. Every evening that week upon returning home from work, I ran water in the hole for a minimum of 15 minutes. “That should do it,” I thought.

Nancy Johnson The following Saturday – confident that I had accomplished my goal – I headed back to the store to purchase soil and grass seed. I filled the hole, packed it well, planted the seed and called it day. I woke Sunday morning to discover the hole had returned, only bigger than it was before. How can this be? Where did the mole go when I was running all that water? “Ok, fine. I give up,” I said to myself. I reluctantly decided to try a more

trusted solution: poison. However, as I quickly discovered, not all poisons are created equal. Some kill the rodent but keep on killing any other creature that eats the rodent. Then I read about Gopher Doom and went in search of it. I checked every hardware, home supply and garden store in the city with no success. I later found out it was not licensed to be sold in Canada. Tired and defeated, I decided to call a pest control business. Why didn’t I think of that in the first place?A very nice lady answered my call and told me she would send one of her guys over to assess the situation and take care it. He would call before arriving, but it would be a couple of days before he could get there. Thank goodness. I breathed a sigh relief. Earlier this year, I bought a home, complete with an underground

sprinkler system, something I knew nothing about. In June, I had a fence built and was looking forward to starting some landscaping. As part of my preparations, I called the sprinkler system folks and asked if they could come by to mark where the lines were. They told me a guy would be by the next day. Sure enough, when I arrived home from work the next day, I found little flags all over my lawn. I assumed they marked the sprinkler lines, but the mole hole was also filled in. Did the pest guy stop by to fix my problem? No. When I called to ask, the nice lady told me he hadn’t been there. Hmmmmm. Putting that mystery aside for the moment, I was still uncertain about the exact location of the sprinkler lines so I called the sprinkler folks to enquire. The guy would be over the next morning to

walk me through where everything was, they said. At 8:30 the following morning, he arrived and began to explain where the lines were. “Oh, and by the way,” he said, “I fixed your sprinkler system leak”. “Excuse me, my what?” I replied. “Yeah. I fixed your leak and filled in the hole,” he said. You’ve got to be kidding me. I do not and never have had a mole? I have a sprinkler system leak? Can you just picture me trying to drown my leak every night for a week? The system had been set to automatically water between 3 and 4 a.m., so I never saw the leak. I now have it set for 7 a.m. I moved here from Cape Breton, N.S. last fall. As a new Manitoban, I’ve enjoyed some interesting things during my time thus far on the Prairies. Some – like my “mole problem” – were not listed in the “Move to Manitoba brochure.”

Municipal election looms with few taking an interest By Darci Semeschuk It could be one of the quietest elections in recent memory. The deadline to register your intentions and file your nomination papers to seek a council

seat in the Municipality of Souris Glenwood is September 18. So far we’ve only heard from two incumbents, Mayor Darryl Jackson and Councillor Sande Denbow. Both be-

lieve they have more to do within the municipality. As far as the other five current councillors, Bill Tanguay, Joe Goodwill, Gerry Williams, Mark Gillis, and Darcy Gerow,

Smashed windshield infuriates motorist Dear Editor, I was travelling home from Boissevain to Hamiota of Saturday, September 8 at approximately 2:30 p.m. with my motorhome. About 1.5 miles east of Souris, on PTH # 2, an older model white Peterbilt tractor pulling a silage trailer ignored the

stop sign at the Feedlot corner there and met me shortly thereafter heading eastbound, nailing my windshield with a large rock from his tires. I just wanted to convey my sincerest thanks and remind him that since I have no license number from his truck, he won’t

be charged. Meanwhile I hope that you never wipe out some innocent person’s life while blowing your next stop sign in your rush to haul the next load. Sincerely Mr. B.K. (Bev) Patterson Hamiota, MB

only Bill and Darcy have registered their intentions with the returning officer, Lisa Greig. Three new candidates have filed their papers, Don Brown, Walter Finlay and Doug Denning. Unless we have a rush of interested parties flocking to the Civic Centre by 4:00 p.m. September 18, there’s your council for the next four years. Urban residents of the municipality might be concerned that almost

all councillors seeking a seat in Souris Glenwood have an agricultural background. “How can they possibly represent the interests of the town’s people?” That’s a good question and maybe it’s a motivator for people to seek a seat on council. I’ve certainly heard enough complaints from residents who aren’t happy with the current council or the job they’ve done but those people are conspicuously absent from the ballot.

It’s a true fact that working on council is a tough job. There’re sometimes four meetings a week and those often go on for hours. Taking on the role of councillor is an unappreciated job and I’m grateful to the people who do accept that role. If you want to make a difference in your municipality, file your papers by Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. or accept that the people who have done so will lead to the best of their ability.

The Carberry NewsExpress Carberry in need of an assisted living facility Council listened to a delegation (group of investors) that are looking to establish an assisted living facility on main Street, to the south of the Lyons Estates. The plan is to create an 8100 square foot, 16-unit facility. It would serve to bridge the gap between fully independent seniors’ housing and the fully institutional care home. Residents would have the services of staff for their daily medical and mobility needs, regular meals,

and yet be able to set their own schedules, and keep independently occupied. Regular visits from medical professionals would keep them on track for optimum quality of life. The Gazette New record for number of holes golfed at Marathon Monday The 7th Annual Marathon Monday was held at the Glenboro Golf and Country Club this summer with Dylan Thornborough and Patrick Law surpassing their record to golf an amazing 167 holes in one day. Many well-wishers came out throughout the day to cheer them on in

their quest to raise funds for cancer research. • • • Glenboro hosts two days of horse racing – tribute paid to the late Carol Cullen Harness Racing returned to Glenboro in 2018 after taking a year off, and staged two successful days August 19 and 24 with ten and eight races respectively. Members of the Turf Club and Agricultural Society, along with many volunteers worked together to provide fans with the program featuring exciting standardbred races through the Manitoba Great Western Harness Racing Circuit. Attendance averaged 200 each day with the handle $3405 on the 19th and $3524 on the 26th.

The Glenboro-based company has recently hired a Software Developer. “We now have customers across the country, from Quebec to Alberta. Our experience in the agriculture and food processing industries continues to grow. Several of the company’s employees are young, local people just beginning on their careers in technology and it is hoped that more will graduate through local schools and choose technology and local employment. Miranda Hutlet of Cypress River has been with the company since 2017. “I think that it’s cool, uncommon, that this

kind of job is available rurally,” she said. The Westerm Canadian Pembina Foodgrains Project – Harvested in Memory of Ivan Bird This year’s Pembina Growing Project was harvested on Aug. 24. Danny and Alice Wiebe again donated the 90 acres of land north of Manitou for the project and it was in memory of Ivan Bird – who was a long-time supporter of the Foodgrains Project. The group of volunteers harvested 134 tonnes (4922) bushels). The wheat was marketed at $7.50/bushel for #1 grade wheat; 13.5% protein. The proceeds from the sale of the wheat is donated to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, and matched by the Canadian government 4:1.

To complement their patio, Hywire Zipline Adventures, located south of Manitou, now has their new diner operational. It is open from May to October and will be serving burgers, fries and smokies, as well as ice cream novelties. Erin Brown of Hywire Zipline says, “We are working on our liquor license, but in the meantime, we will be serving soft drinks, coffee, tea and water.” They can accommodate about 20 people at once.

School zone safety top of mind Submitted Manitoba Public Insurance and police partner to keep children safe. With Manitoba students now settled back into their school routines, Manitoba Public Insurance and Manitoba’s police agencies are sending a reminder to all drivers to stay vigilant in watching for children and driving with caution, particularly in school zones. In addition to raising awareness about school zone safety, Manitoba’s public auto insurer is once again partnering with law enforcement agencies throughout the province to fund enhanced enforcement activities in and around schools over the month of September. Now in its sixth year, funding of approximately $70,000 will assist eight police agencies in enhancing their patrols around

schools in the mornings and afternoons when pedestrian activity and school bus/vehicle traffic volumes are heaviest. Participating agencies include the RCMP and police services in Winnipeg, Brandon, Winkler, Morden, Ste. Anne, Rivers, and Altona. “Combining public awareness about backto-school safety with the high visibility of police enforcement serves as a reminder for all motorists to slow down and drive with care in school zones,” said Satvir Tkachuk, vicepresident responsible for Corporate Communications, Manitoba Public Insurance. Over the past five years, participating police agencies have issued more than 5,000 provincial offence notices to motorists for various infractions ranging from speeding to

cycle to school and home again without risk of being injured in a motor vehicle collision.” SpeedWatch program To assist with school zone safety and heighten awareness about vehicle speeds, Manitoba Public Insurance also offers speed reader boards to community organizations and school parent advisory groups through its popular SpeedWatch program. School or parent groups can borrow the equipment at no charge to help raise motorist awareness about speed limits and vehicle travel speeds as they pass through school zones. Interested groups can call Manitoba Public Insurance’s SpeedWatch coordinator at 204-985– 8737 or 1–888–767–7640 (toll-free) for more information or to book a speed reader board. Important Back-toSchool Safety Tips! For Drivers: · Look well ahead to spot school buses and school zone signs; reduce speed in school zones, and wait for children to cross completely before proceeding. · Stop at least five metres behind a school bus when the upper red lights

are flashing, and do not proceed until the “stop sign” is closed and the red lights stop flashing. Motorists travelling in both directions must stop for the school bus, except if the road is divided by a median. · Scan under parked cars for the feet of children approaching traffic, and make lane changes early to allow room for children on bicycles, skateboards or roller blades. For Parents: · If you are driving your children to school, drop them off in a safe area, away from traffic; use a designated drop-off zone, if the school has one. · Talk to your children about traffic safety and the importance staying alert to the traffic around them. This includes staying off cell phones and other electronic devices and being smart pedestrians. For Children: · Cross only at intersections whenever possible, preferably at those controlled by patrols, signs or traffic control signs. · When crossing the street, make eye contact with drivers to be sure you are seen and cross as quickly as possible to minimize time in the roadway.

Souris Legion News by Gale Collinson Our meat draw of Friday, September 5, was a little slower than past weeks. Guess it was, mostly, that our farming community is very busy with harvest. As seems to be the norm in the last few weeks, Lady Luck did not have many favourites. Sandy Roy was the only per-

son to take home two meat packages. Elinor Birks held the lucky ticket on the 5050 draw and received $97. The prize for finding the Ace of Spades was $2,813 and Ramona Taylor was determined to collect. However, the Ace stayed hidden and will be chased again next week. We were offered chili,

homemade biscuits, hot dogs and dessert at the end of the draws. 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. Celebrating her birthday with us tonight was Angela Janz.

Six Things That Make a Difference to a Winter Wheat Crop about variety selection, and the importance of choosing the correct variety for each producers field conditions and needs. This year there are about 20 varieties that can be grown in Manitoba, and the list is growing. Gross has further broken those down into three varieties that should be a good fit for most Manitoba fields: Emerson, Gateway, and Wildfire. Emerson seems to be the most popular in Manitoba as it has good resistance to fusarium. Gateway is a short variety well-suited for areas where excess straw is an issue, plus it yields well. Finally, Wildfire is an exciting new variety that’s out this fall, and has the highest yield potential. Seed shallow His third tip that makes a difference is seed depth. “Seed depth was the biggest issue I saw between success and failure in Manitoba this year,” Gross says. “We like to see the seed go into the ground a half an inch to one inch deep.” The plants that were seeded at the proper seeding depth ended up much healthier and showed more vigorous re-growth in the spring than the plants that were seeded too deep. And slow down a little bit when seeding, Gross

recommends. “Equipment bounce can cause seed depth issues, especially in the dry soils we saw last year.” Seed heavy “To me [seeding rate] is the easiest way to improve your stand and to maximize your yield. A higher seeding rate will make a more uniform stand that will compete with weeds better and yield more. A more uniform stand means that the plants will tiller less in the spring, and you’ll have more main stems so timing your fungicide applications becomes much easier,” Gross says. Gross also talks about the importance of 1,000 Kernel Rate (TKW), and that paying attention to it matters to calculate the correct seeding rate. “Small seeded varieties may be seeded at two bushels an acre and have upwards of 30 plants/sq ft, whereas a variety with larger seeds may need to be seeded at three bushels an acre to have the same number of plants per square foot.” Treat your seed Seed treatments seem unimportant, but can make a real difference with vigour and stand establishment, Gross says. “It doesn’t show a difference every year, but it’s cheap insurance, and when we’re seeding into dry

Profitable wheat production begins with timely planting and practices that help insure a uniform population of seedlings this fall. Much of wheat’s yield potential is determined at planting. To attain top yields, measures need to be taken to plant early and achieve an even and uniform stand of seedlings. PHOTO/MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

conditions like we likely will be this fall, everything you can put in your favour is to your advantage,” he says. Focus on fertility The most important tip of all is properly applying nitrogen. “Put at least half your N down in the fall. The seed head develops very early in the spring, and if you have some nutrients available for that plant then that means it’s going to develop a bigger seed

head,” Gross says. Yield penalties can occur by putting nitrogen on too late, up to a 30 per cent yield penalty by being three weeks late. Putting nitrogen down in fall means there will be nutrients available in the soil for early spring plant growth, which should result in a higher yield. Gross ended the webinar stressing the importance of soil testing, and he broke the basic nutrient

requirements down simply. Nitrogen, get half on this fall; phosphorus, maximum 40 lbs; potassium, has ability to add big yield boosts; sulfur, maximum 15 lbs. Mother Nature will always have her own plans, but spending a little extra time preparing may help you reduce the risks. For more information on winter wheat contact Ken Gross at k_gross@ducks. ca.

ANSWER:

Submitted by Western Winter Wheat Initiative Seeding winter wheat can be challenging; particularly in less than optimal conditions as experienced last fall. There are some practices that can make a big difference to the ultimate success or failure of the crop. Ken Gross, an agronomist with the Western Winter Wheat Initiative has studied several variables related to winter wheat. In a recent webinar series hosted by Manitoba Agriculture called CropTalk, he shared some of his findings. Stubble height matters When stubble height is higher, winter wheat tends to over-winter better. Gross recommends eight inches as the optimal height to trap snow on fields, keeping winter wheat well-insulated during cold winters. “We’ve noticed that where the stubble was a little bit higher the crop had over-wintered better last year,” Gross explains. “There were areas where if you just had a little bit taller stubble and seeded into that, that made the difference between success and failure.” Selecting the right genetics Gross goes on to talk

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!

KAP opposes BUSINESS DIRECTORY loss of rural electoral seat

ROXANNE SCRABA RMT, DHMS

Souris 483-2225

PATCHWORK RENOVATIONS NEW BUILDS

Submitted Keystone Agricultural Producers has asked the Manitoba Electoral Divisions Boundaries Commission to change its recommendation that would see one seat removed from rural Manitoba and an additional seat created in Winnipeg. The recommendation was made in the commission’s interim report, which recommended changes to the province’s electoral divisions due to population changes since the last review in 2008. “We recognize the commission is bound by the Electoral Divisions Election Act to make some changes, but it could have realigned the boundaries and kept the same balance between seats in Winnipeg and the rest of Manitoba,” said KAP president Bill Campbell. KAP contends those farmers and others who live outside Winnipeg already feel deprived of effective political representation because of the concentration of political

power within Winnipeg. “It is the opinion of many KAP members that the issues of people who live outside the perimeter highway are ignored,” said Campbell. KAP will be presenting a number of recommendations to the commission for revising the report, including consultation with political and legal experts on the issue of effective political representation. KAP also criticized the commission for holding important public consultations on boundary changes during harvest. KAP is nonetheless asking its members to make an effort to attend and voice their concerns at the consultations in their communities. A list of locations can be found at boundariescommission. mb.ca/. Consultations are taking place now through September 20. A copy of KAP’s initial presentation to the commission is available on the KAP website for members to base their own presentations on.
