Western Manitoba Youth Choir performs in Souris Featuring singers from the entire Westman Region, the Western Manitoba Youth Choir entertained a full house at St. Paul’s United Church on Monday, October 15. Local committee members include one of the founding fathers of the choir, Bill Lawson as well as Jackie Sallows, Grant Jackson, Jan Ross, Lisa Pottinger, Kristen Nerbas, Jean Lawson, Jennifer Cochrane, Shawna Mozden, Scott Ander-
son and Julie Gibson. Now in it’s 39th year the Western Manitoba Youth Choir (WMYC) was founded in 1980 by Mr. Derek Morphy, Mr. Bill Lawson and Dr. Earl Davey to give Westman student a high calibre choral experience unlike anything that was available at the time. Over the coming decades and following the WMYC example other regional youth choirs were formed across Manitoba serving
as tribute to WMYC’s unique nature and success. This year’s choir is comprised of 53 members, 24 boys and 29 girls, who represent nine different Westman communities. Each year WMYC greatly appreciates the support of the communities represented by the choristers and communities visited on tour. As well, our organization could not function without the dedication
of parent volunteers who chaperone at our to rehearsal camps and on
tour. The operation of the choir has been made possible through a gen-

Souris Legion News by Gale Collinson On Wednesday, October 3, we needed 6 ½ tables for our cribbage players. The highest score was made by Dave Johnson and Doug Dodds with Ken Ryckman and Bev Nichol finishing in second place. Taking third spot was Joan Dufily and Lorna Binions, thus stopping it from being a “men’s night”. Gale Collinson held the lucky number on the 50-50 draw. On Thursday, October
4, our clubroom was host to 26 optimistic noisemakers hoping to win at bingo. Some people, of course, made more noise than others. Betty Devins and Joan Phillips were the loudest with four shouts each. Joan’s last yell netted her $40 on the Little House. Able to make two hollers were Wendy Bilton, Lil Atchison, Viola Logan, Barb Gordon and Cathy Nylund. Darlene Dooley shouted only once but had

two winning cards on the game. Our meat draw on Friday, October 5 was a busy event. As happened last week, no one was able to collect more than one meat package. Marion Morris owned the winning ticket on the 50-50 draw and received $170. The Ace of Spades was worth $3,313 and Smitty had the opportunity to put the money in his pocket. The Ace stayed hidden and so we will have
a go at it next week. Our cribbage players used seven tables on Wednesday, October 10. Alva and Don Doherty finished the evening with the best score. Ken Ryckman and Bev Nichol again took second prize and Marnie Heath with Betty-Lou Noble claimed third place. Betty Devins won the 5050 draw. 23 hopeful shouters attended our bingo evening of Thursday, October 11.

Making three yells were Darlene Dooley and Marie Neilson. Marie’s last call was on the “Little House” which gave her $35. Close behind with two hollers were Betty Devins and Jack Rose. On Friday, October 12 our meat draw was well attended. Had a few multiple winners this week. Darryl Jackson took home two packages of meat, as did the households of Angie and Darrin Janz and Joan and Irwin Harlton. The 5050 draw amounted to $165 and Rae McBurney held the lucky number. Eleanor Thompson won the chance to take home $3,475.50 by finding the Ace of Spades. This she was unable to do so someone will be able to look for it next week. Pork loin, potatoes, gravy, turnips and dessert were on the supper menu after the
draws. I understand that Rick Smith from Calgary celebrated his birthday on October 11 and Bert Peaslee was celebrating his 80th birthday on the weekend. Also heard that Barb Gordon and Iris Fallis had birthdays this week. Just a note to keep in mind – after this Ace is found, the price of a strip of tickets for the “Chase the Ace” draw will be going up to $2.

EDITORIAL MPI calls on Manitobans
Letter from the Premier I am writing to you on a matter of great importance to all Manitobans. On Oct. 3, I announced that your government would not proceed with a Manitoba carbon tax. I will explain why. The danger posed by climate change is real and it is serious. We see the evidence all around us, in warmer temperatures, both in the air and in the oceans. In the form of dangerous storms, which happen more frequently. In forest fires of unprecedented intensity, and in severe flooding that happens far more often. Climate change threatens our safety and our economy. It threatens our future, especially the future of generations that will follow us. We are leading the way with a Made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green Plan that is widely acknowledged as the best in Canada. Our plan focuses on four pillars of cleaner water, conservation of natural areas, effective steps to address climate change, and strengthening our economy. It continues our investments in renewable energy, while encouraging Manitobans to reduce their energy consumption. It will assist local communities in their efforts to protect our watersheds. It will clean up contaminated sites, increase recycling, and build new schools to a higher standard of energy efficiency and environmental design. It will establish a $100 million Conservation Trust to preserve and protect our grasslands, woodlands, wetlands, waterways and wildlife habitat. It’s a plan that will be implemented without any significant assistance from
the federal government. Last year, we received legal advice that the federal government has the constitutional power to impose a carbon tax, but only on provinces that do not implement plans of their own. Our Climate and Green Plan, which is better for our economy and better for our environment, was designed by Manitobans to protect Manitobans and to keep Ottawa’s hands out of our pockets. Our Made-in-Manitoba plan proposed a flat and low tax, like the prairie horizon. That flat rate would have provided stability to consumers, business, industry and agriculture. It would have saved Manitoba families and businesses more than $260 million over five years, compared to the Ottawa carbon tax. Most importantly, all monies collected under our plan would have been returned to Manitobans, in the form of tax reductions. There are no such guarantees with the Ottawa plan. Immediately after unveiling our Climate and Green Plan, and on numerous occasions thereafter, we sought the federal government’s assurance that they would not impose their escalating carbon tax over and above the Manitoba tax. Almost a year after our Manitoba Climate and Green Plan was released, however, Ottawa’s high tax threat remains, and that is unacceptable. Ottawa has acknowledged our plan is the best in Canada, but they have also stated that they will impose their higher – and rising – carbon tax after one year. It could mean twice the tax, for poorer results. Double for nothing. That would threaten
jobs and economic growth throughout our province. At a time when Manitoba is making progress in fixing our finances and rebuilding our economy, the last thing struggling families, seniors and small businesses need is higher taxes. We will always defend the interests of Manitobans. Today, tomorrow, and for as long as we are privileged to serve this province and its people. Manitoba’s Climate and Green Plan deserves Ottawa’s respect. We are already Canada’s cleanest, greenest province. We are investing billions in renewable energy, without a single dollar from Ottawa, yet we are given no credit for it. In fact, Manitoba Hydro’s debt will rise to $25 billion – $19,800 per Manitoban – thanks to the NDP’s massive overbuild. You have already made a significant investment in green. Rather than respect this investment, Ottawa threatens to impose an escalating carbon tax which will take billions of dollars off the kitchen tables of Manitoba families. Our course of action is clear. The federal government says Manitobans aren’t doing enough to protect the environment. They are wrong. They say a carbon tax is the only solution to fighting climate change. We disagree. They claim they have the absolute right to impose a carbon tax on Manitobans. We say ‘no.’ We say ‘yes’ to a cleaner, greener future for Manitoba. We say ‘yes’ to a Made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green Plan, without a carbon tax. The Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba
submitted One road death too many: Manitoba Public Insurance calls on all Manitobans to change how they think about road safety. Manitobans need to be less accepting towards road fatalities and more committed to driving motor vehicle-related deaths down to zero, says Manitoba Public Insurance. In support of Manitoba’s provincial road safety action plan, the public auto insurer launched a new and innovative road safety awareness campaign before hundreds of students from Winnipeg’s Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute today. Tagged Save the 100, the key objective of the campaign is to reduce tolerance/acceptance for traffic fatalities by asking Manitobans to look beyond the statistics and focus on the real people and real lives lost behind every fatality number reported. An equally important message is that every Manitoban has the power to bring the annual fatality count down to zero by changing how we think about road safety, the way we drive, and the decisions we make behind the wheel. Save the 100 represents the average number of people killed on Manitoba roadways annually over the last decade. “Virtually every week in this province there are reports of fatal motor vehicle collisions occurring on our roadways,” said Satvir Tkachuk, vice-president responsible for corporate communications, Manitoba Public Insurance. “As a result, many Manitobans have become desensitized to hearing about road deaths, particularly if there
is no personal connection to the victim or victims. “However, the reality is that every single person killed in a motor vehicle collision over the last decade had a personal connection to someone. Each and every one of their lives mattered,” said Tkachuk. Save the 100 is a wakeup call to all Manitobans that people are losing their lives every single week on our roadways, and that behind each of those fatality numbers is a real person, a friend, a co-worker, and a loved one. And while getting to zero deaths on Manitoba roadways may seem like an unrealistic goal, the reality is that nearly all traffic fatalities are preventable, based on Manitoba Public Insurance data. Primary Contributing Factors In 2017, driver distraction was determined to be a factor in 41 per cent of all fatalities on public roadways in Manitoba. Impairment by drugs or alcohol and speed were also identified as contributing factors in nearly 32 per cent and 18 per cent of all fatalities recorded, respectively. Also concerning is the fact that 49 per cent of all fatally injured drivers and passengers were unbelted at the time of collision. “These are the hard numbers that demonstrate most fatal motor vehicle collisions are fueled by dangerous, illegal or otherwise high-risk driving behaviour. It also tells us that most, if not all, of these collisions are preventable,” added Tkachuk. Call to Action Save the 100 represents Manitoba Public Insurance’s newest ‘call to action’ and is about encouraging all road users to take
personal responsibility for the decisions they make, how they drive, and how they interact with other vehicles, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians on our roadways. “Together we must create more of a culture of traffic safety in our province so we can ultimately keep each other and our communities safe,” said Tkachuk. “Doing so is the only way we will achieve the road safety goals established under The Road to Zero: Manitoba Road Safety Plan 2017-2020.” Road to Zero Last September, Manitoba’s Provincial Road Safety Committee released its road safety action plan. The Road to Zero: Manitoba Road Safety Plan 20172020 is the first plan of its kind in Manitoba, and provides a vision for Manitoba to have the safest roads in Canada. The plan adopts a safe systems approach to road safety in which road users, highway infrastructure, vehicle design and technology, legislation, enforcement, and health services all play a role in developing solutions to reduce or eliminate injury and death on our roadways. Highlighted priorities from the plan include more coordinated research and planning between agencies within the safe system, early adoption of automated vehicle technology, improved safety for vulnerable road users through smart road design, evolving Manitoba’s traffic safety culture, reducing driver distraction and impairment, increasing awareness of medically atrisk drivers of all ages, and examining new speed management strategies to lower risk, among others.

Pharmacist debunks common flu shot myths Submitted A new survey reveals that an overwhelming majority (71%) of Manitoba residents believe that it is important to get the flu vaccination every year in order to help protect those who are more vulnerable to serious flu illness. Despite this, just over half (55%) plan to get the flu shot this year. The poll, conducted by Insights West on behalf of London Drugs, highlights common misconceptions that prevent many from rolling up their sleeves. For example, one in three (34%) Manitobans who do not plan to get the shot this year say they won’t because they do not believe it is effective or they believe that it is only effective for previous strains. “This is a potentially deadly myth. The seasonal flu vaccine is always updated to protect against the viruses that health experts believe will be circulating during the upcoming season. By receiving a flu shot, you’ll not only be protecting yourself, but you’ll be safeguard-
ing others who could have life-threatening complications from catching the flu,” says Danny Lee, a Pharmacist at London Drugs. This year’s seasonal flu vaccine has been updated to protect against the multiple strains of both influenza A (H1N1 and H3N2) and influenza B. One in three (32%) Manitobans who don’t plan to get the flu shot said they feel it is unnecessary because they are healthy. “There is a common misconception among people who are healthy that they don’t need to get immunized. It’s important for everyone to get a flu shot to prevent the spread of illness to those who are considered high risk individuals such as newborns, young children, pregnant women, and adults with chronic medical conditions – even if you are in good health,” says Lee. Those who don’t plan on being immunized also cited concerns about negative side effects (23%) and that the vaccine might make them sick with the
flu (17%). “Despite some people believing that they can contract the flu from the vaccine, this is actually not possible. The flu shot is made with viruses that have been rendered inactive and are therefore not infectious. The majority of people don’t have reactions to the flu vaccine; the small number who do may have some slight soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site,” says Lee. While some Manitobans say they aren’t likely to get a flu shot because they tend to forget or don’t get around to it (8%), or find it too much of a hassle (6%), flu shots are now conveniently available seven days a week by appointment or on a walk-in basis at any London Drugs location. Pharmacists can administer flu shots to anyone seven years of age or older. In recent years, longer hours, appointments, as well as flexibility for walkin patients has allowed pharmacies to significantly improve ease of access to the flu vaccine. In fact,

of the 55% of Manitobans who say they will get a flu shot this season, most plan to visit a doctor (30%) or a pharmacy (28%) to receive their shot, followed by public flu clinic (14%) and health clinic (10%). “Getting the vaccine early helps ensure you are protected before flu season peaks. We recommend patients get their flu shot as soon as possible, as it can take up to two weeks for the flu vaccine to become effective,” says Lee. As an added incentive to get immunized, for every flu shot administered at London Drugs, a lifesaving vaccine will be donated to UNICEF Canada to immunize children in another country. The vaccination donation campaign is in partnership with I Boost Immunity (IBI), an online immunization advocacy network. “Collectively, we will be able to help make a global impact this flu season. By receiving a flu shot at London Drugs, patients will not only be protecting themselves and those in the community, but they
will also be providing a life-saving vaccination to children in need around the world,” adds Lee. The poll showed that seven in ten (69%) Manitobans feel that getting the flu vaccination each year is a responsible way to take care of both their own health and the health of others. To learn more about getting the flu shot at London Drugs, visit: http://www. LondonDrugs.com/flu Other poll highlights include: Nearly all (96%) of those who got a flu shot last year plan to get one this season. Mid-aged Manitobans between the ages of 35-54 (36%) are less likely to get a flu shot this season compared to those between the ages of 18 and 34 (59%) and those age 55 and over (72%). Three quarters (75%) of Manitobans are aware that the flu vaccine helps prevent hospitalizations and saves lives. Awareness among Manitobans about accessibility of flu shots is
high. Nine in ten (88%) are aware that flu vaccinations are available free of charge for many Canadians (including children, seniors, pregnant women, aboriginal peoples, caregivers, and a number of other employment types). Nine in ten (87%) are aware that Health Canada recommends Canadians protect themselves from the flu by being vaccinated (getting a flu shot) each year in the fall. A strong majority are aware that flu vaccinations are available at most pharmacies (84%), and can be administered by a pharmacist (78%). Four in ten Manitobans believe that healthy people don’t really need the flu vaccination (38%) and that you can catch the flu from the vaccine (38%). The majority (71%) also agree that the flu vaccination can have negative side effects. Those who are unlikely to get a flu shot this year are significantly more likely to agree that the flu vaccination can have negative side effects (84%).

Kim’s Captures snag sensational shots Kim Dekoning is well known for her roving photography and she has a keen eye for picking the perfect shot. These two pictures of the Blue Jay and the American Robin are truly extraordinary and could be on a Christmas card. The Blue Jay’s vivid cobalt or azure-blue tail and wing feathers make an exotic contrast against brown leaves or green grass. However, these feathers are not truly blue. Blue pigment is unknown in birds. The Blue Jay’s feather colour results from refraction, or distortion, of light by a peculiar inner structure of the feather substance. If the feather is crushed, the blue colour disappears. Both the Blue Jay and the Robin migrate south in through the winter months. PHOTO/KIM’S CAPTURES
Amalgamation There are five candidates running for rural councillors in the upcoming election in Souris Glenwood, and regardless of who is elected, there are certain issues that I believe need to be addressed before the marriage of the town and the rural area of the municipality is completed.
DETLEF EISSNER Ladies and Gentlemen, voters of Souris-Glenwood! As some of you know I am running for rural council for Souris-Glenwood. A lot of you don’t know me and most of you I don’t, at least not by name. I do not have the time to visit all of you, but I will try to visit as many as possible. I have been living in Souris-Glenwood for 37 Years and been in business for over 30 years. I ‘d like to think of my family as very accomplished in starting and expanding our businesses considerably and giving good solid employment to lots of people, and I will use these skills and this knowledge as a councillor as well. I won’t and cannot promise you anything but to represent you to the best of my ability. What I hope to accomplish is to stop the steady increase of taxes and maybe even to lower them a bit by improving the operation of the Municipality, cutting red tape, which wont be easy, since a lot of the regulations are coming from federal and provincial Governments, but there is always room for improvement. It seems to me, since the amalgamation of Souris and Glenwood, Glenwood has been neglected, and I hope the new council will address this, which doesn’t mean the same should happen to Souris in the future. There should be a fair treatment to both entities. I hope enough of you will have enough confidence in me to give me a chance to represent you and vote for me on October 24. Sincerely Detlef Eissner

Most of the concerns that have been mention to me have involved the “needs” of the rural area. The high water events since 2011 have caused the loss of some infrastructure in some rural areas, where there once were roads there are now road closed signs, and some summer roads, and machinery trails, are now turkey trails. Over a multitude of years there have been culverts that have collapsed and not been replace. Mayor Jackson mentioned about rural depopulation, but rural infrastructure is not only for residents getting around, but also for carrying on the business of farming, and concerns are about whether infrastructure will be brought back to what it was, and maintained. There are other concerns as well, and some of them have to do with rural depopulation, and trying to bring more people to the rural area. This is just my opinion, but the “needs” of both urban and rural ratepayers need to be openly discussed, and it would be great if agreements could be reached not only by representatives of the municipality and town, but also include a statement from local government ensuring the needs of all will be honoured long term. When I talk of local government, I am not talking of elected officials, for they come and go at the whim of the people, but government remains forever. This last comment is on an issue that has been mentioned to me by some ratepayers, and depending who’s yard you are in, it could be considered a need. A few ratepayers have brought up the topic of municipal water, and there seems two reasons for brining it up. The first reason is simply to have a guaranteed supply of safe and acceptable water for house use. The second reason is something the could be controversial, with the full amalgamation of town and rural area, costs to maintain the water treatment plant, and the distribution system will be paid for by all ratepayers, whether one has access to the system or not. I’m not really pushing the idea, but think it is something that needs to be discussed. These are concerns not only from myself, but some residents of the rural area. I ask for your vote on October 24 so I can these concerns forward for the rural ratepayers as well as work with other councillors on issues that involve both the town and rural area. Sincerely Donald Brown

ANSWER:
Like puzzles? Then youÕll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!
HereÕs 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!
“Landowners have peace of mind and are supportive of the pipeline on their property”
and use extra caution when sharing the road with heavy equipment. The Virden Empire Advance There’s an uptick in the oil industry – Positive outlook from gov’t spokesperson Amy Jordan, Acting Director of the Manitoba Petroleum Branch that based on analysis, the predict levels will stay close to where they re now, more in the $73 -$75 range. Which is a far cry from the $40 a barrel nosedive we saw in 2016. The Carberry Express Daughter on Call in Carberry There is a new building going up in Carberry and with this new building, brings a new business venture that the town and surrounding area will benefit greatly from. September 19, a sod turning was held for the new Daughter On Call Home in Carberry. The home, which is being built south of Lyons Estate, will feature 12 regular sized bedrooms and four larger suites for couples. It will be run by Daughter On Call and will offer all the comforts of home along with individual care depending on the needs of the clients. The Observer Homespun’s 32nd year
in the books Once again, Homespun proved to be a great success, with around 3,200 craft seekers going through the doors over the two-day event, which was held September 15 and 16 in the Carlyle Sports Arena. Sixty-one vendors, some new and some returnees, were set up on the floor. Southern Manitoba Review Harvest for Kids Some locals took part in the August 4 Harvest for Kids (H4K) World Record Combine Harvest in Winkler. The goal of this event was and is to reach a global audience and raise the funs to send 1 million children to camp in developing countries. A world record was made when a quarter section of wheat was harvested in less than 20 minutes by 303 machines. Those machines included all makes and models of combines from new to old. A couple of vintage machines were from Cartwright and Mather. One of the drivers of a 1957 John Deere combine owned by Randy Pawich was Jack Pawich. Jack was probably the oldest driver at age 93. Randy rode the combine as mechanic. The other local driver was Alan Melvin of Mather, who brought his #35 Massey Harris.
How do those who live along the Line 3 pipeline replacement route feel about the project?
> Enbridge is replacing its Line 3 pipeline near your community. Here are some ways communities are benefiting: Job Creation Over the life of the project, an estimated 24,494 (full-time equivalent) construction jobs and $1.8 billion in labour income will be generated.
Annette Schinborn CEO, Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations (CAEPLA)
“When the Line 3 Replacement Project was announced, CAEPLA was at the forefront with Enbridge in discussing the things that were important to landowners. The reason the agreement we negotiated with Enbridge is so exciting is because it’s all about safety and the environment. At the end of the day, landowners have peace of mind that the protocols that were set in place would protect their land.”
Fueling Quality of Life The Line 3 Replacement Program will generate over $500 million in tax revenue and contribute $2.8 billion to Canada’s Gross Domestic Product. The taxes we pay support schools, roads, community projects and other services that sustain our quality of life. Investment in Community Organizations We are proud to support organizations that promote safety, environmental and social issues within communities. That’s why in 2017 alone, across Canada, we invested more than $15 million in communities near our pipelines to help strengthen communityfocused initiatives.

Cougars pick up pair of wins By Grant Moffatt The Cougars picked up a pair of wins at home on the weekend dropping the Winnipeg Thrashers 2-1 in overtime, and Sunday afternoon they handed the Eastman Selects a 4-2 loss. The Cougars now sit tied with five other teams with 8 points three weeks into the season. Saturday night in Souris the Cougars handed the Thrashers their first loss of the season with the overtime win. The game was a rough affair as Trent Sambrook left the ice on a stretcher less than three minutes into the game when he was forced into the Winnipeg bench with the gate open and suffered an upper body injury. He was treated in hospital and released. The game saw two Thrashers ejected from the game for hitting from behind. The first period was a scoreless frame. Tyson Kozak teamed up with Cory King and Braeden Lewis 14 minutes into the second to score on the power play to open the scoring. The Cougars were holding on to the one goal lead until Dawson Rattie evened the score with 2 minutes left
in the third. The goal was actually scored by Caden Wilson, who had the shutout in his sights. Rattai cleared the puck behind the Thrashers net, it was fired around the boards by the Cougars the length of the ice and Wilson beat the Thrasher forward to the puck at the top of the right faceoff circle. In an attempt to clear the puck into the corner, he fired the puck into the Cougar net, to even the score. Tyson Kozak was named the Subway player of the game. The game went to over time with 3 on 3 hockey. Tyson Kozak took the draw and got it back to Austin Clyne who fed a streaking Hunter Wallace. Wallace made no mistake roofing the biscuit 17 seconds into the extra frame for the win. Dawson Rattie faced 35 Cougar shots and was credited with a goal, while Caden Wilson earned the victory as he faced Thrasher 17 shots. Sunday afternoon the Cougars handed the Selects their 4th loss of the season. Eastman got off to a quick start scoring less than 90 seconds into the game. Matthew Ramsey evened the score with the
man advantage when he tipped a shot from Hunter Andrew and Tyson Kozak at 12:43 of the first. The teams were scoreless into the third. The Cougars thought they had the lead, but the whistle had gone before the puck entered the net. Hunter Wallace then gave the Cougars the lead from Cory King and Tyson Kozak. Wallace picked up his second of the game three minutes later with help from Jordan Boyechko for a two-goal lead. Michael Svenson scored an unassisted marker beating Randy Cooke with five minutes left in the contest to bring the Selects within a goal. Callum Fortin then iced the deal when he hooked up with Hunter Andrew with 14 seconds left with Denton Bellick on the bench. The Cougars continue to outshoot the opposition firing 39 at the Selects net, while Randy Cooke faced 26 in the Cougar net. Tyson Pringle had a big game, out working
Cougars three and three on year The Cougars had a great weekend in Souris October 13 & 14 defeating the Thrashers and Eastman respectively. They are now three and three on the season heading into the weekend. Cougar’s next home game is Saturday, October 27 when they host the Parkland Rangers in Killarney. If you haven’t picked up your NHL draft you have until the first week in November to help the Cougars and make some CASH. Ask any Cougar player.

Worst of all, street cannabis offers you no quality control in terms of strength or purity. It may contain traces of pesticides and even other drugs that could put your life at risk. Street cannabis isn’t worth it.

Sports Ramblings By Dale McKinnon Note: Dale is passionate about sports, but he is also passionate about the environment, so there’s a slight change-up to this week’s column. I had a call from Jennifer McMechan last week asking about the history of recycling in Deloraine. The school started a program in the 80’s before the town took over. I remember it
being a difficult sell to the community initially and the idea was not taken seriously. Today the citizens and the town are diligent recyclers with great volunteers. Times change and attitudes change. It got me thinking about our environment and the changes that are happening now. A farmer in the year 1000AD could have gone to sleep and woken up 500 years later and found his

farming practices and lifestyle had no noticeable differences. While asleep the world’s human population would have increased by a few million to 500 million in year 1500. Compare this to changes in our parent’s lifetime let alone to 500 years ago. We now have 7,000,000,000 (7 billion people) and the changes in farming, travel and communication were

Here in Canada, we have less flexibility when it comes to making costumes kids will wear outdoors. An easy way to stay bundled up is with a blanket costume your child can wear over their coat. Think jack-o-lanterns, emojis or ghosts made with singlecoloured blankets with sewing or fabric glue for the facial features. Have fun. While you might be tempted to make

your child’s costume entirely yourself so it looks perfect, your kids will enjoy it more and feel a sense of pride and ownership if they take the lead or make a contribution, depending on their age. Even little ones can help stick on stickers or choose the colour palette and fabrics. Follow the golden rule. You want to make sure your costume doesn’t offend anyone, so stick to this guide — a culture is not a costume. This means that ideas like Pocahontas, a Japanese geisha or a Mexican sugar skull are
all off limits. Keep it safe. Whatever costume you end up creating together, make sure it will keep them safe throughout the evening. Tails and long robes can present tripping hazards, while dark colours mean cars might not see them crossing the road. Stick to bright colours and for extra safety, give them a light-reflective sticker. Free from ADT Canada, these stickers are designed so that light from passing cars makes them (and your kids) shine brightly. Find out more information at adt.ca.

unimaginable to the last generation. The United Nations released a report last week citing more than 6000 scientific references from 40 countries. The scenario is not pretty.

Ask a question or share a tip at reena.ca Dear Reena, My electric kettle didn’t shut off and the steam caused a white film on the door of my cabinets. I tried wiping it off, adding oil conditioner
and scrubbing it lightly. Nothing worked, maybe it discolored the urethane. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mark Dear Mark, Using a hot hairdryer on the highest setting, move the dryer over the white mark to draw the moisture out. As you heat the area, rub the surface with a soft cloth. The sooner you tackle this challenge, the better.
Dear Reena, How can I prevent fitted sheets from coming off the corners of my bed, this drives me crazy! Kathy Dear Kathy, You can purchase or sew clasp straps (also called sheet suspenders) that hold corners in place. Or consider purchasing drawstring fitted sheets, not only will the sheets stay in place, but the
linens appear less wrinkled, tighten the drawstring to secure sheets. Dear Reena, I just came home from the grocery store, I thought of you as I was shopping. I am having company and want to make a fruit platter; how can I tell when a pineapple is ripe? Pat Hello Patricia, Great question! Tug on

one of the pineapple leaves, if the leaf is loose, the pineapple is ripe. Dear Reena, I was wondering if you might have a solution for cleaning felt pen marker off the wall? Ellie Dear Ellie, Permanent marker stains often need a little gentle persuasion in combination with an effective ink remover. Try one of the following products and scrub with an abrasive cloth (not an S.O.S pad or steel wool): WD-40, paint thinner, acetone, Mr. Clean Magic Marker, rubbing alcohol or glycerin. If the paint remains, sand with fine sandpaper and touch up the area with paint. Feedback from Contributor Re: Easy-Off Stain Dear Reena, I read in your column about the lady who got ‘Easy Off Oven Cleaner’ on the floor despite having newspapers down. I just want to let you know the exact same thing happened to me and I tried all my cleaning products, and nothing helped. Then my daughter came to visit and said, “Oh, just use an S.O.S pad and she proceeded to clean my floor and the spots came off perfectly. I enjoy your column very much. Helen Smart Life Hacks • Peanut butter hint: The peanut butter in the bottom one third of the jar is always such a hassle to get at with-
out getting peanut butter all over my knuckles, so I have two solutions. (1) Use a large spoon and soft-blade scraper to remove the peanut butter and transfer it to a small snap-top container; or (2) using a box cutter, very carefully cut the top two thirds of plastic jar off and cover the remaining open container of peanut butter with plastic wrap while you continue to remove your daily peanut butter fix from it. Enjoy, Dave • I use Glad Press and Seal paper to line the shelves in my fridge. When they become dirty, I toss them. No wiping and no mess! Submitted By: Christine • I make pancakes in the shape of gingerbread men. Place a gingerbread cookie cutter onto the frying pan; and pour the pancake batter inside. When the batter sets, take the cutter off and flip the perfectly shaped pancake. Submitted By: Alice • Make your own night cream: Combine half-cup olive oil, one-eighth-cup vinegar and one-quarter cup water. The oil softens and moisturizes skin, while vinegar lightens discolorations, kills bacteria and loosens dead skin. Dampen face before use.

Muddy boots on Enbridge Line 3 Largest project in Enbridge history By Anne Davison/ VIRDEN EMPIRE ADVANCE Muddy boots were the trademark of a tour in southern Manitoba to discover more about the largest project in Enbridge history, Line 3 replacement; and the oil industry that employs spouses, children, family members, friends and neighbours either directly or indirectly; and has done since the 1940s. Out of the Calgary office, Enbridge officials met with a motley crew for an up close and per-
sonal look at pipeline being laid in “Spread 8”, south-east of Brandon. The trip took a handful of municipal officials, landowners, newspaper reporters/photographers from our meeting place in Wawanesa Hall, down Hwy 2 past Glenboro, past Holland, south through Swan Lake First Nation, until we were surrounded by the giant wind turbines of the St. Leon wind farm on a right-of-way where segments of pipe were being welded together. Joanne Bradbury, community engagement
portfolio, David Coll in communications and Assistant Construction Manager Mike Jespersen were tour hosts. On tour were, Pat Cochrane and Marya Gardiner from the RM of Sifton, Darren Myers, CAO for Municipality of Glenboro-South Cypress, Mayor of Glenboro Earl Malyon and Councillor Eric Plaetinck (Deputy Mayor), along with reporters and photographers. Unusual bus tour Largely invisible, one of Canada’s chief resources makes its way

across the prairies, underground, at a slow jog. The fact that a pipe segment 66 feet long and worth about $18,000 receives five welds, a special epoxy paint coating and numerous inspections, was part of the interesting details. Bradbury was an engaging host. She explained, “Line 3 was built in 1968 to the highest standard of the day. Tape coating was one of those standards. Unfortunately, that coating is not standing up to time.” That’s why the pipe laid in 1968 is being decommissioned and replaced with brand new pipe – safety and efficiency. Line 3 Replacement Program will fully replace 1,660 kilometres with new pipeline and associated facilities on either side of the CanadaU.S. border. By mid to late 2019 the new pipe is expected to in service, carrying batched product: light, medium and select heavy crude oil between Hardisty (Edmonton) and Superior Wisconsin. A quiet ghost Old Line 3 will be decommissioned, in place, not torn out. Enbridge has seven pipelines in the mainline corridor through the prairies: Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, 65 and 67 known as the Alberta Clipper. Bradbury explained, “Removing Line 3 is not the best idea. There’s a certain integrity and stability that we want to maintain in the mainline system, so we have chosen to decommission in

place.” The pipeline is cleaned, valves are removed, and the pipe is segmented off so it cannot become a conduit for groundwater. This decommissioned line will continue to be monitored as it remains Enbridge’s responsibility. The Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations has commissioned a
study at the University of Calgary. Bradbury says they are “looking at what happens with a pipeline over 50 years, 100 years, 500 years, a thousand years, so we understand what we should be looking for - what happens with the environment, topography and how that may affect a decommissioned pipeline.” (to be continued next week)

Through the Co-op model, whereby local members own and control the business, Co-op’s have a vested interest in the community that is greater than other business models. Co-ops are one of the few businesses investing in rural communities throughout western Canada; especially smaller communities. Business decisions are based on maintaining viable operations that provide required services to the local owners of the Co-op. As communities evolve, Co-ops need to continually adapt to the needs of the marketplace to remain relevant and generate a savings to ensure its long-term presence in the community. Savings, also known as profits, are either reinvested into the Co-op’s facilities to improve the services offered to its members, invested in community projects through donations, or returned directly to the members in the form of patronage allocations and cash repayments. Pembina Co-op continues to focus on creating value by providing personalized service to its members. The Coop’s retail facilities are updated on a regular basis to maintain a pleasant shopping experience. New facilities are built when the local market is able to support the business for the long term. Over the past year, Pembina Co-op has invested in the following capital assets to improve its services: • Construction of a fertilizer shed at Manitou • Construction of a soybean seed treating plant at Notre Dame • Updating the Swan Lake cardlock to access fuel off of the new FCL Corporate Bulk Plant • Purchasing additional property to construct a fertilizer shed at Notre Dame Pembina Co-op creates an economic impact in each community through offering employment, paying municipal and education taxes on its facilities, and donations to community events and capital projects. Pembina Co-op has 165 employees with an annual payroll of over $7 million. Extensive training is offered to enable employees to progress in their career and eventually assume management positions within the Co-op. Annual donations and sponsorships exceed $70,000 with a high percentage supporting local initiatives. Through the strong support of its members and prudent financial management, Pembina Co-op has been able to continually generate savings for its members. Members received a patronage allocation of $4.42 million on purchases made in 2017. During Co-op Week, co-op members will receive a general cash repayment of $2.5 million. When combined with bylaw requests and withholding tax submitted on member’s behalf, total cash repayments are expected to exceed $4.0 million in 2018. If you desire greater detail, please visit the Co-op’s updated web site at www.pembinacoop.ca. You can find information on your local Pembina Co-op store on Facebook.
