Souris Legion host Remembrance Day service By Darci Semeschuk Souris Legion #60 hosted its annual Remembrance Day Service on Sunday, November 11 at the Souris Glenwood Community Hall followed by the march to the Legion Cenotaph to lay the wreaths and to recognize 100 years since Armistice. The following article, in part ran in Legion Magazine (November/December 2018) by J. L. Granastein — “The symmetry of Mons – Taking Back the City where Britain and Germany first clashed.” “One hundred years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, WWI ended in Mons, Belgium – where it started four years previous. What a relief to parents of the boys serving! Wrote Lieutenant Walter Thomas Robus of Norwood, Ont., a few days after the
first World War ended with Germany’s surrender on Nov. 11, 1918. And what a relief to know the slaughter and suffering are over. Canada had no army to speak of when Britain declared war on Germany on Aug. 4, 1914. The 1st Division was raised quickly and was still a raw force when it faced the German gas attack at Ypres in April 1915. Somehow, it held the line and began to establish its reputation. As the Canadian commitment grew in size, so did its laurels. The force of two, then three, and finally four divisions fought on the Somme in 1916, captured Vimy Ridge, Hill 70 and Passchendaele in 1917, and then recognized by all as a corps d’elite, fought through the Hundred Days campaign that won the war. Canada had played its full
part and more in the Great War, its citizen soldiers transformed into fierce instruments of war. Their victories were legion; their casualties enormous: more than 66,000 dead, almost 175,000 wounded. Sadly, the open warfare of the last 100 days was terribly costly, with 45,000 casualties — almost 20 percent of the total — occurring in just over three months of bitter fighting. Nonetheless, the results of those battles were crucial to winning the war, and they were almost certainly the greatest of Canadian military achievements. Currie’s Canadian Corps deserves its high place in the nation’s history. Currie understood that there was important symmetry in the liberation of Mons. Four years and three months after the BEF had
been forced to retreat, the Canadians, soldiers from the colony, men whose efforts had forged a nation, had freed the Belgian city. The Great War had changed the world and helped reinvent Canada.” And from the same Legion Magazine – an excerpt from Last to Fall by John Boileau: 5:12 a.m., November 11, 1918 – “After three days of negotiations, Allied and German representatives meet in a railway carriage parked in a forest clearing northeast of Paris and sign an agreement to end four years of fighting. Germany wants the ceasefire to come into effect immediately, but the Allies want time to get word to front-line troops. As a result, the armistice starts six hours later, at 11 a.m. 10:57 a.m. – mean-
while, on the northern side of Mons, Canadian Private George Lawrence Price, 25, of the 28th Battalion (Northwest) is following the retreating Germans. Price was born in Falmouth, N.S., and raised in nearby Port Williams. As a young man he moved to Moose Jaw, SK, although his parents, Jim and Annie, remained in Nova Scotia. He was conscripted in December 1917. Price’s patrol is fighting from house to house in the small village of Ville-sur-Haine (near Mons, Belgium). He enters a cottage just as some German soldiers leave through the back door. He exits the cottage and is shot — the last Allied soldier to die in WWII.” Richard Price’s nephew (now 90 years old) was interviewed on CBC last week. The people of Mons, the

city where the war started and eventually ended, have honoured Price and other Canadian soldiers. Presently there is a school and a badge named after price and soon a new stone monument, all to honour the Canadians and Price. Ninety-year old Price (George’s nephew) is in Belgium to view the commemoration of his uncle George Price, the last soldier to die in the Great War. Price went overseas like other Canadian soldiers to liberate the countries of Europe. Price and 66,000 Canadian soldiers died to perpetuate an idea, - Freedom. May they rest in peace and may we never forget! A social time was held at the Souris Legion following the service and the Legion Ladies Auxiliary hosted a Remembrance Day Tea at the Fellowship Club.

Elva Cargill top grain facility in North America By Judy Wells The 2018 harvest season is close to being wrapped up and so the agriculture pace has slowed down. Not so much for the folks at Elva Cargill where there really hasn’t been a slow down all year. Of course that’s a good problem to have, and because of it, the Elva facility has shipped the most grain tonnes of all Cargill facilities in Canada. “We won the Cargill Award for Top Performing Grain Facility in North America,” said Chad Yeomans, Plant Manager. Yeomans attributes this success to teamwork and to the customers. “Everyone at Elva has the same passion for service to our customers to be able to achieve the results we have. It is also helpful to have different offerings out here for grain solutions to allow customers to haul grain and stay in the market. Dedication of our team – the dedication of holiday loads, Christmas Eve, Mother’s Day, all the extra hours. And of course we thank we thank the customers, as obviously it couldn’t be done without them.”
Elva Cargill had a stellar year, bringing in the most grain tonnes of all Cargill facilities in Canada and winning the Cargill Award for Top Performing Grain Facility in North America.

Manitoba Beef Producers expresses concern over federal carbon tax plans Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) have a role to play in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. However, MBP are also concerned about the potential impacts the federal carbon tax plan will have on their operations. “We have concerns this tax will negatively affect our operations due to higher costs related to transporting cattle, inputs and many other products and
services we need on a daily basis,” MBP president Tom Teichroeb said. “While there are exemptions proposed for on-farm use of fuels for tractors, trucks and other farm machinery, Manitoba’s beef producers will still be affected by these types of pass-through costs.” “As our producers don’t set the price of their herds, they will be adversely impacted and will have

to absorb these costs at a time when we are seeking to increase the size of the provincial herd,” Teichroeb said. “Higher taxes place a barrier in the way of fulfilling that objective and decrease our ability to compete in a global marketplace.” Teichroeb added studies show that pastures and grasslands utilized by cattle producers can sequester as much as eight tonnes of carbon per hectare per year. “Rather than a carbon tax, additional supports for increasing and enhancing grassland and pasture acres would help the environment as multiple benefits accrue from the carbon sequestration,” Teichroeb said. “Not only would this support protection of biodiversity, these efforts enhance resilience against floods and droughts and provide valuable habitat for an array of species.” MBP seek further dialogue with the federal and provincial governments to find solutions which both reduce carbon emissions and support the agriculture sector.

EDITORIAL Remembrance Day address Note: The following is the address given at the Deloraine Legion’s Remembrance Day service. It was written and delivered by Grade 12 student Kristian Nestibo. On this day, one hundred years ago, churches all across Europe rang their bells to signify the end of the 4-year conflict that had been raging across the globe, the end of World War One. About 700,000 Canadians served in World War One, fighting for not only our freedom and our nation, but the freedom of strangers overseas and to protect the sovereignty of foreign countries. Since then Canada has fought in World War Two, the Korean War and Afghanistan. Canada has also participated in peacekeeping operations in Yugoslavia, Somalia, Cyprus, and the Congo. These wars do not only affect the brave men and women that serve in them, but also their wives and husbands back home who miss
and worry for them. The children back home who are left wondering if their dad will come back, or if they’ll ever see their mom again. Sometimes they do come home to a happy and tearful reunion. But sometimes they do not, and a once whole and happy family is left broken and empty. In a war, nothing is left untouched, untainted, unchanged. After a sacrifice so great, victory tastes bittersweet to the families of the fallen, the widow and the orphan, and to the survivors of the conflict. For many of our veterans, even after the war is over, the battle continues. Many veterans carry both physical and mental wounds from their time serving our country. The scars and cuts heal eventually, but the damage done to a person’s soul during the conflict often never heals and leaves them changed and broken. A study in 2013 showed that half of the Canadian veterans
coming home showed signs of some type of mental illness and that one in ten Canadian soldiers are afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Despite the seriousness of these issues most veterans cannot receive the medical help they need and are haunted by what they have experienced for the rest of their lives. I remember my Grandma Cheryl telling me stories about my Great-Grandfather Henry Dingwall after he and his three brothers returned from serving in the Canadian infantry with the Queens Own Cameron Hylanders during the second world war. During thunderstorms he would pace the house all through the night, unable to sleep. The thunder and lightning terrified him because it would remind him of artillery barrages he experienced overseas. The memories of the war haunted him, though he rarely spoke of them. It was a war that took his brother’s
life. These fears continued for decades after he returned from Europe and he was never the same. In spite of all these troubles and hardships, brave men and women have and will continue to enlist, because they feel it is the right thing to do, they will put themselves directly in the path of danger, standing between absolute darkness and those they care about, in the case of our peacekeepers for those they have never met and never will meet. This shows a moral fiber that many of us can barely comprehend, let alone perform. One of the last lines of John McCrae’s “In Flanders Fields” reads “If ye break faith with us who die we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields”. It’s a line that is hard to live up to, especially for younger generations who have never experienced war. As time passes and the war fades into history, the newer generations
struggle to remember the horrors of war and it gets harder and harder to honour the great sacrifice that our ancestors made for our freedom and our sovereignty. Most of what my generation knows of war comes from movies and video games, which often shows a glorified portrayal of the conflict. A majority of people my age will never understand the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who died for us, we will never have to endure the gut wrenching, brutality of war. We will never have to fight and kill to survive, to see our friends and brothers die. . . I think that is why they fought for us, why they died for us. So we could live in peace. So it is our great responsibility, to never forget, the courage, and the sacrifice, that Remembrance Day represents. Not to glorify war, but to remember …. to “not break faith with those who died” …. Lest We Forget….

Young Canadians “Living La Vida Lonely”
submitted Proportion of Canadians aged 20 to 34 without a life partner has reached a 20-year high Despite an explosion in the number of dating apps available, including the newly launched Facebook Dating service, Canadian young adults appear to be finding it more difficult than ever to find life-long love. Living La Vida Lonely, a new Cardus analysis of census data, finds the proportion of Canadians aged 20 to 34 living without a life partner has reached a 20-year high of almost six in 10. “The need for more education long after high school, student debt, unstable job markets, and sky-high housing costs could all be factors young adults putting off long-term committed relationships,” says Peter Jon
Mitchell, author of Living La Vida Lonely and a senior researcher at think tank Cardus. Even among those aged 25 to 34, it is more common to be neither married nor in a common-law relationship than it is to be married. That reality may not match what young adults actually want. “According to an Angus Reid poll earlier this year, 54 percent of young adult Canadians say they would like to get married,” says Mitchell. “Still, marriage continues its long decline, outpacing even the increase in cohabitation. And that’s carried on into middleage where marriage rates are at new lows.” The overall story for Canadians aged 20 to 34 is that as marriage declines and Common Law relationships rise, young adults are still increasingly living without any partner at all.
pretty hot but I think why we feel it is so much is because there is not so much breeze. There is a nice breeze today and it feels fine. Well it is just four days over a year since I enlisted and it has been a pretty easy year. I don’t know how I will ever go to work when I get back. I will be so lazy I will need to get home in the winter so I will have
time to get used to work a little at a time. I did not know Harkness was wounded until I got a letter from Aunt Maggie and she did not know how bad he was. I have not been able to get a letter from any of them. You will see by the papers that Frits is getting what is coming to him now and getting it worse all the time. I don’t think they will last much
longer then our easy time will be over and it will be back to work and home. Well I think that is all for this time. Hoping it will find you all as well as it leaves me. I Remain your Uncle Pte H. Hazelwood Note: The photo tells us that Pte. Hazelwood did not return home from the war and is buried in France.
Letter to Editor, Recently, after 26 years, I decided to retire from municipal council at the end of the last term. I would like to share some thoughts as I reflect on my experiences over these years First of all, I extend my thanks and appreciation to the many council members and staff I have had the privilege to work with. Also, I would like to acknowledge the hard work of those I served with on various boards and committees, both locally and regionally. Public service is truly a unique experience and something we can all learn and benefit from. The multitude of moving parts necessary to keep our community moving forward requires extensive effort and de-
termination by sometimes too many of the same people. Ideally, more volunteers and committee members would lighten the load for all and provide a broader and balanced approach to issues that arise. Lastly, best wishes to the new and returning council members. Learning to look at each issue objectively and consider the interests of the whole community is not always easy, but with open communication and staff and community support, I feel confidant Souris-Glenwood will grow and prosper under your guidance. Sincerely, Joe Goodwill

10 Neat Things about Cotton by Shauna Dobbie, reprinted with permission, Copyright© Pegasus Publications Inc. 1. Cotton is old. Artifacts of cotton textiles have been found in the Indus Valley (Afghanistan, Pakistan and India) dating to as early as 3250 BCE. Cotton seeds have been found there too, dating to 5000 BCE, suggesting that people were cultivating cotton 7,000 years ago. On this side of the world, in Peru, cotton was being used at least as far back as 4200 BCE.
People made fishing nets with it which they traded for fish. 2. Cotton is widespread. The various cotton or Gossypium species are native to the Americas, Africa including Egypt, and India. They became cultivated around the world independently. 3. The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary. Before the Internet, before encyclopedia, people pretty much believed what they were told. Perhaps that is why people
believed in this fantastic beast that was purported to grow in Tartary (central Asia). Part animal and part vegetable, the Tartarian lamb was firmly attached to its plant by an umbilicus. Descriptions of this thing, by different names, go back to the 5th century CE, but they probably originate with assertions by an ancient Greek (in the 4th century BCE) that in India trees grew with wool on them, from which people made clothes. That’s cotton. 4. Cottonopolis.
This is a 19th century nickname for Manchester, England. The city had 32% of the world’s cotton production, peaking at 108 cotton mills in 1853. Belfast, by the way, became Linenopolis around the same time. 5. Exploding cotton. Also in the 19th century, when people were discovering all sorts of things, it was discovered that you could make explosives from cotton. Cotton is mostly cellulose (91%), so when you mix it with nitric acid and sul-

furic acid and let it dry, you get nitrocellulose, or guncotton. It burns up in a flash, producing very little smoke or heat. 6. Medicinal uses. Cotton cannot be eaten because it contains gossypol, a toxin to humans. It was used, though, for medicine to treat nausea, headache and diarrhea. It was also used by slaves in the US as an abortifacient; apparently, it was quite effective at this. 7. Perennial or annual? Cotton is a perennial that is grown as an annual. Growing as an annual enables the rotation of crops and prevents natural pests from taking over. 8. GMO cotton. Cotton has been bred with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), a bacterium that kills moths, butterflies, flies and beetles while being harmless to other lifeforms. It has been in use since 1995. In the US and India, 95% of cotton is GMO cotton, significantly reducing the needs for pesticides. It’s been un-
der fire, though because... well, because it’s genetically modified. 9. Cotton food? Not cotton candy but another genetic modification which has silenced the gene that produces gossypol (the toxin). This means that cotton waste, such as stems and roots, could become food for humans or other singlestomach mammals. It’s a small amount but considering that 2.5% of the world’s arable land grows cotton, it could prevent famine. 10. Coloured cotton. There are strains of cotton that produce fibres that are naturally brown, red and green, as opposed to the usual white. The problem with these cottons is that they are more expensive to harvest. Growers of white cotton don’t like them because they could pollinate their crops. The fabric they produce has a very soft feel, though, and some manufacturers, like Levi Strauss, are experimenting with them.

Souris Legion News by Gale Collinson Cribbage players occupied seven tables on Wednesday, November 7. Evelyn Harlton and Deb Robinson finished the evening with the best score. Vonda Bodin and Sean Deleau took second prize. Dave Johnson and Doug Dodds, as they did last week, ended in third place. Dave also won the 50-50 draw. Our birthday girl was Joan Phillips. Our bingo evening of Thursday, November 8 was attended by 23 hopeful noisemakers. It was an eventful evening. Simplest way to start is by saying three shouts came from Joan Phillips and Gale Collinson
and yelling twice were Darlene Dooley, Cindy Janz, Dave Johnson and Gladys Skoc. The “Looney Pot” was worth $89 tonight and Gale and Gladys decided to share it. The “Little House” amounted to $35 and Dave split it with Jack Rose. The Souris Fire Department took over the meat draw on Friday, November 9, and very few chairs were not used. Thank you to all who came out to support this very important group in our community. Meat packages and a good number of other items were winnable. Quite a number of people were able to collect two prizes. Darryl Moreau won two tickets to
see the Winnipeg Jets play and Mike Belbas won nights stay at our new Souris Hotel. The 50-50 draw totalled $262 and Kyle Gosnold held the lucky number. Brenda Swaenepoel got the opportunity to take home $4,161 by finding the Ace of Spades. This she could not do, so it will be available again next week. A roast beef supper was on the menu. Happy to see Linda Perrin celebrating her birthday with us. 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.

Nestled in the south-west corner of Manitoba near Bossevain, you can find the vibrant homestead of farmers Arthur and Candice Bell. The breathtaking view when you look out from the Bell’s residence is one to remember. You may even catch a glimpse of a local elk that has made itself comfortable in the hills of their backyard. Arthur Bell values the land that he farms and gives it credit for his success; “Good land can make a bad farmer look good,” he shares. This was an important factor Arthur considered when he immigrated to Canada in 2000 after leaving his family’s potato farm in Ireland. Although his farming history at Boissevain is fairly recent, Arthur modestly shared that he’s from a long line of farmers and likely represents the 10th generation. It’s no surprise that with a long history of farming in his blood, and his open mind, that he has become an iconic innovator in the farming community. He believes he was one of the first farmers in southwestern Manitoba to add corn into his crop rotation. To make a move with a new crop, Arthur shares he could not have done it without the help from Double Diamond Farm Supply, specifically, Kent McKay, Agronomy Lead. "When we started to talk corn, Arthur and I started to bounce ideas off each other and build up our confidence. We had an open mind to try different things on a small scale before taking bigger risks," says Kent on his relationship with Arthur. Kent is more than just a retail rep, he is someone that Arthur and Candice consider a partner in their operation. In fact, during an unexpected trip to Ireland, Kent was the one that kept them informed and updated as herbicide applications were in progress back home. DEKALB® Territory Account Manager Wes Lewis refers to the notable relationship between Arthur and Kent as a respectful partnership. "It's fun for me to participate in Arthur and Kent’s accomplishments; they value each other’s time and efforts and I enjoy being another person who can contribute to the farm’s success," Wes adds. Arthur had most of the tools needed for seeding corn because of some equipment he had for growing sunflowers. Although he had the tools, he was still working on gaining confidence. An exciting and rewarding year 2010 was for Arthur when he successfully grew 80 acres of corn on an experimental run.
Arthur shared many reasons why he enjoys growing corn. “Watching it grow is fun and exciting; at its peak growth, you can notice a couple inches of growth every day,” he highlighted. Today, corn makes up one third of his crop rotation. This year, Arthur grew a few corn hybrids including DEKALB® DKC33-78RIB corn and DEKALB® DKC26-40RIB corn for their earlier relative maturity and high yield potential. When it comes to choosing hybrids, Arthur and Kent still use the same criteria – does it have the maturity to fit the farm and what is the yield potential? The only difference is that their definition of yield potential has grown from those early experiments; it’s no longer good enough to be respectable yield they want to push the limits of corn on the farm. A common denominator amongst most farmers is the thinking and decision making that takes place behind the wheel of farm equipment. It comes as no surprise that an innovator like Arthur would want to reap the benefits that data technology advancements have to offer his farm, like getting real time insights right in the cab of his combine. When the Climate FieldView™ digital ag platform was first offered in Western Canada, Arthur was one of the first to sign up to test the product. Now, he’s a strong advocate for the platform and believes that the benefits of having real time data and high-quality satellite imagery at your fingertips can help simplify and improve the day-to-day operations on his farm.
Arthur is always doing what he can to stay informed about the newest corn hybrids available on the market. That’s one of the reasons why he actively participates in a DEKALB® Corn Market Development trial with his DEKALB® Agronomist, Liz Simpson. Arthur explains that the trials are his first step in deciding which products to bring to his farm. By participating in the trials, he gets a first glance at the newest hybrids available from the DEKALB® corn breeding pipeline. Once he gains confidence and expertise with a hybrid, he builds up the number of acres he experiments with. He refers to the trial data that the DEKALB® brand shares publicly as a key tool that helps him make informed decisions on his farm. Although it plays a factor, there is more to a successful farm than just good land. It takes innovation and partnership, from the farmers across Canada, to the DEKALB® brand representatives and retailers like Double Diamond. Topped off with hard work, and backed by an open mind and a desire to learn. Arthur has all this and the experience to understand it takes more than just good land to operate a successful farm. We thank the Bell family for choosing DEKALB® brand seed for their farm and wish them a safe and successful harvest this year and for many years to come. Check out the results of Arthur Bell’s corn trial and other farmer-managed Market Development trials on DEKALB.ca this fall.

Sports Ramblings By Dale McKinnon Kailyn Crowe’s University of Regina’s team are 4 - 6 in conference play this season. Ashton Bell’s Minnesota Duluth are 5 – 4 - 1 in Division 1 Women’s Hockey. Haley Wickham scored for the 12-0 Minot State Beavers of the American Collegiate Women’s Division I in a 2-0 victory over Brandon’s Assiniboine Community College Cougars. Haley has 14 points for the undefeated Beavers as a rookie this season. Watching the Winnipeg Jets beat Colorado last week it was good to see Brandon’s Matt Calvert get lots of ice time. After eight seasons and 72 NHL goals with the Columbus Blue Jackets
Matt signed a 3-year/$8,550,000 contract with Colorado this summer. Not bad for a player not drafted in the Western Canada Bantam draft and 127th overall in the NHL 2008 draft. Matt was always considered too small. His bantam draft year had at least five picks from the Southwest region plus two or three from Brandon but only Matt is making the professional salary today. The trivia last week started the lead up to the Deloraine Royals hockey 50-year reunions. The goaltender with the most games played in the beginning years (1970’s) was Gary Ewen. This week asks how many SWHL titles the Royals won consecutively in the 70’s and 80’s.

Rural Crime Town hall in Souris on Sunday submitted Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris, is hosting a rural crime town hall in Souris on Sunday, November 18th at 7:00 p.m. in the Kirkup lounge at the Souris Glenwood Complex located 27 Third Avenue West. All are welcome to attend meeting to share ideas & concerns At the town hall, Maguire will discuss the latest crime statistics and will gather ideas from local residents to present to Parliament. He is encouraging everyone to attend and to get involved in the Parliamentary study. Residents can RSVP to the town hall by emailing Maguire directly at Larry. Maguire@parl.gc.ca or by calling his Parliamentary office at 613-9959372. “I encourage everyone to come to the rural crime town hall to share their ideas and concerns,” said Maguire. “It is imperative that your voice is heard loud and clear in Parliament.” The Conservative caucus in Parliament initiated a study at the Pub-
lic Safety Committee, which is currently in the process of doing a deep dive into rural policing and crime prevention. Motion 167, which instructed the Committee to launch the study, was spearheaded from rural Conservative MPs from across the country who are concerned about the recent increase in crime statistics. The study includes but not limited to: (i) Current rural crime rates and trends; (ii) Existing RCMP and other policing resources and policies in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities, particularly in relation to population density, policing geographic area, and staff shortages; (iii) Current partnerships with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous police forces, and; (iv) Possible recommendations to improve rural crime prevention and to curb emerging crime rates, and that the Committee report its findings to the House within six months of the adoption of this motion. Maguire is hosting a
series of rural crime town halls across Westman and will be travelling across the region to hear from victims, community leaders, and residents. He wants to hear the experi-
ences that people have had and is looking for solutions to present to the Public Safety Committee. “I invite you to come share your personal story on how rural crime has
impacted you, as well as your ideas on this study,” concluded Maguire. This latest series of town halls builds on Maguire’s previous events to reach out to Westman res-
idents on pertinent issues in front of Parliament. Earlier in the year he hosted town halls on immigration, justice issues, and the Liberal firearms legislation C-71.
Guests enjoyed tea and coffee, desserts and a time of visitation following Remembrance Day services on November 11. The Tea was hosted by the Legion Ladies Auxiliary. PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER
KAP advisory meeting: crop update, support for young farmers 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 more-established 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, including 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 va-

ANSWER:
submitted 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

Virden Post Office Picketing Virden Postal workers picketed in front of the post office Monday morning. Shop steward Tanya Hicks said Virden employees are under the Brandon Local CUPW. It is a rotating strike and in Virden, staff take their direction from Brandon. She could not say if or when further picketing will take place Hicks said that while negotiations with the Crown corporation are in the works, at this point, “what little they have given us is not enough.” Matters of health and safety are part of the discussion. Hicks says the Virden post office needs more inside staff.

Royals defeat Elks prepare to celebrate 50 years
Royals will host the Elks in 50th anniversary event The Deloraine Royals defeated the Souris Elks when they were in town November 9. The Royals are celebrating their 50th season and are planning a celebration in January. Pictured here: The Royals and Elks battled but the home-town Elks were unable to knock off the visitors. PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER submitted The Deloraine Royals were in Souris November 9 to take on the hometown Souris Elks. The rivalry between the two communities continues onto the 50th anniversary of the Deloraine Royals. The Royals came out on top this time by a score of 5 – 3. Killarney will be in town November 16 for some hockey action at the Souris Arena. The Deloraine Royals Senior Hockey team came into being for the 1968-69 Southwest Hockey League season. Prior to this season a Senior team had operated out of Deloraine for three years called the
Deloraine Wheat Kings. They were a team managed out of Brandon that played their home games in Deloraine. In 196869 the Deloraine Royals formed and participated in the South Division of the Southwest Hockey League along with the Boissevain Border Kings, Pierson Bruins, Waskada Comets, Killarney Shamrocks and Brandon University. The Souris Elks, one of the original SWHL teams had taken a leave of absence in 68-69 before returning to the league the following year. The first contact for the Royals was Fred Dujardin and some of the original players on that
first squad were: Dunc Mills, Gary Ewen, Dennis Olischefski, Wayne Coxworth, Bob Clelland, Mike Lane, Ken McGee, Lyle Franklin, Robin Couvier, Don Lane, Bill Willox, Wayne Wilson, Fred Dujardin and Denis Vandoorne. In the mid to late seventies, the Royals established a League record, which has since been surpassed of six straight Southwest League Titles. They brought home another pennant in 1982. Most recently the Royals won back-to-back Tiger Hills League Championships in 2014 and 2015. In 2014 they followed up their League Title with the
Provincial Championship at the Manitoba Cup. To commemorate 50
straight years of Deloraine Royals Senior Hockey, a series of 50th Anniversary Events will be taking place on the weekend of January 11 and 12, 2019. The current Royals’ team will be hosting another original Southwest League Team, the Souris Elks for a THHL League game on Friday, January 11 at 8:00 p.m. Preceding the game there will be a short presentation and ceremonial puck drop. Following the contest a “Meet and Greet” will be held for current and former Royals personnel at the Rendezvous Restaurant. On Saturday afternoon, January 12, two alumni games for former
Royals will be featured at the Doc Bonar Arena. Admission for spectators is free. A 1:00 p.m. contest will feature former Royals in the 50-plus bracket while a 3:00 p.m. game showcases Royals’ alumni ages 30-50. That evening a banquet will be held at the new community complex for current and former Royals players and management along with their spouses or significant others. A social evening with music by “The Beetles”, a tribute band out of Brandon, will follow at the complex at 9:00 p.m. Tickets for the social will be available to the general public in December.
