Country united by Humboldt tragedy
As the country, and indeed many parts of the world come to terms with the tremendous loss suffered in the aftermath of the Humboldt Broncos bus accident, organizers prepare to shut down the GoFundMe campaign that raised over $15 million. More funds will continue to flow in the next few weeks as fundraisers currently underway come to a close. Souris School honoured the victims and their families in a quickly organized barbecue held at the school April 12. Teachers, former teachers, staff, parents, students and other volunteers worked tirelessly to assist with this venture. The final tallies have been completed and Souris School raised $4483.65 for Humboldt Strong. Pictured here is the entire school body out in their hockey jerseys showing support for Humboldt.

Souris Legion News By Gale Collinson Cribbage players used six tables on Wednesday, April 11. Evelyn Bowles with Margaret Edmunds made the highest score. The second prize went to Viola Logan with Gale Collinson and Amelia Morden with Cindy Janz took third place. The 50-50 draw was won by Bob Aussant. Twenty-five hopeful yellers attended our bingo evening of Thursday, April 12. Three shouts came from CathyTand Gale Collinson. Double hollers came from Barb Gordon, Lil Atchison, Barb McKinnon, Viola Logan, Darlene Dooley and Cheryl Edwards. The Little House amounted to $37 and was shared by three players.
The “Looney” pot is still waiting for someone to claim it. On Friday, April 13, our meat draw was well attended and Lady Luck had few favourites. The only person to get two meat packages was Doris Dron and she had to draw her own ticket. The 50-50 draw was worth $110 and won by Lyle Edgerton. Helen Kain won the chance to take home $1,077.50 by locating the Ace of Spades. This she was unable to do so the money will be available next week. Roast turkey with all the trimmings was offered for supper. Just a note to keep in mind – after this Ace is found the price of a strip of tickets will be going up to $2.

Congratulations to Lisa Gohl. Lisa was selected to play in the Basketball Manitoba A-AAA. Graduating Allstar Game in Winnipeg on Saturday, April 14. She netted a three pointer in the contest as her team won the game 67-54. This is a tremendous accomplishment to finish off an outstanding high school basketball career. She is pictured with coach Trever Penner. Way to go Lisa!
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!

EDITORIAL Editorial
The Bus, a hockey players’ sanctuary by Branden Crowe
I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was a freshfaced 19-year-old kid, in my first radio job at CJVR in Melfort, Saskatchewan. My boss, Darryl Skender said, “Alright kid you got the call of the Nipawin Hawks and La Ronge Ice Wolves, and the bus leaves tomorrow at 1:00.” I was thrilled! My entire childhood I’d dreamed of being a hockey announcer and I was finally going to get that chance. I packed as little as possible (I didn’t want to be a burden) and I boarded the Charlie’s Charter’s bus in Nipawin and headed to the remote northern town of La Ronge. Little did I know that that bus trip for me would be the first of thousands in my young career. I have spent virtually my entire adult life riding on busses. A couple months after that first trip, I was named the voice of the Humboldt Broncos. A job that was extra special as my best friend since birth, Ward Szucki was living his hockey dream as a Bronco. (Unfortunately, before we could make a bus trip together, he was traded. Something about taking too many penalties.) In eight years of sports broadcasting the miles and hours I’ve spent riding the “iron lung” are staggering. I have spent more hours on a bus than I have in my own office, I’ve watched more movies on the bus than I have on the couch with my fiancé, I’ve spent birthdays and holidays on the bus and I’ve watched thousands and thousands of miles of Canadian landscape roll on out that big glass window. Each time I boarded a bus there was never any doubt in my mind that I would return home safely. Why would there be? This is a safe place… a place of hockey folklore where stories are told, poker is played and friendships are made. Anyone who knows me will say that it’s always the first aspect of my job I complain about. Sure, its uncomfortable (I’m 6’1, and trying to find a good sleeping position is a task for NASA scientists), it’s smelly, and it’s cramped. But for anyone who works in the game… It’s home. It’s a place that is full of laughter, joy, good jokes, bad jokes, and stories about the cute girls in chemistry class. Some of my best friends in the world spent hundreds of hours just a few rows behind me every winter. What happened on that stretch of Saskatchewan highway last Friday is every parent’s worst nightmare. Twenty-nine people boarded that bus for a playoff game and 15 lives were taken. That is 15 too many. The bus is supposed to be a special place where young boys can grow up. Unfortunately, for a handful of hockey players, their lives were taken away on that bus, before they ever had a chance to become men. If there is one thing I learned from my time in Humboldt… Its how much love that town has for their boys. And now… that town needs our love more than ever.
Souris RCMP News Report Submitted by Robin Blecker Highlighted calls for service in Souris RCMP area were as follows: April 4 – A report came in of a dangerous semi driver, swerving all over the road. Police attempted to locate the suspect vehicle, but was unable. As the vehicle was headed in that direction, Treherne RCMP were asked to be on the lookout (BOLO). On the same date, Souris RCMP began an investigation into a youth exchanging nude photos of themselves using SnapChat. This file is still under investigation. April 5 – The Canada Revenue Agency scam has reared its ugly head again, but with a new twist. A Souris couple received calls from someone claiming to be with the CRA and threatening to put a lien on their home if they don’t pay. Thankfully, they called us instead. April 7 – A report of an intoxicated driver came in. Police conducted a search, located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. The driver admitted to being tired. The officer noted blood shot eyes, but smelled no liquor. The driving evidence was enough to perform a breath test, which came back as zero. Police also assisted an ex-tenant in returning his key to his landlord, as the tenant found her to be intimidating. No threats made. Exchange was peaceful. April 7 – Blue Hills members received a report of an assault on a teenager. The teen stated that she was punched and kicked by
unknown male teens. Police are investigating and seeking out possible suspects. April 9 – Souris RCMP were dispatched to a business alarm in Souris. No answer on site. No sign of break-in and all doors were secure. Keyholder believes it may have been caused by the wind. On the same day a report of a suspicious person(s) in Souris-Glenwood. The farmer reports that his wife woke up to hear the dogs and cows “going nuts”. She looked outside and saw someone running with a flashlight and heard a vehicle running. Did not locate the person. Friday FYI: As the weather warms, troublemakers tend to come out of the woodworks. Make sure your homes and outbuildings are locked. Don’t make it easy for them to steal your vehicles, take the keys in the house and lock those vehicles! Note: I am off to a much needed, warm holiday. I won’t be back in the detachment until Apr 23, 2018. As we are amalgamated, you are welcome to attend/call Brandon Detachment for your administrative needs. Brandon is located on Veteran’s Way (Low Road to Shilo), approximately 1 mile east of the jail on the north side and their number is below.

Souris School shows support on Pink Day
Bullying isn’t just a part of growing up – it’s overwhelming, hurtful, and can make people feel alone. It can affect learning, friendships, and most importantly, physical and emotional health. The Canadian Red Cross believes that every child should be treated with respect. As a national leader in violence, abuse and bullying prevention, the Red Cross works with students and educators across Manitoba. As part of its bullying prevention programming, the Canadian Red Cross leads the support of Pink Day in both Manitoba schools and workplaces. Souris School held their Pink Day, Support Diversity and Stop Bulling on April 11. Pioctured above are the students at Souris School as they show their support for Pink Day. PHOTO/DARCI SEMESCHUK

By Dale McKinnon It is between seasons for sports in Deloraine. The hockey season has ended and weather has prevented baseball and soccer from starting. The high school baseball team’s home opener has been pushed back a week to Wednesday, May 2 when they host Souris at 5:30. Coach Paul Artz has not had a prolonged preseason! Hockey remains as the premier sport in Deloraine but in recent years hockey players and coaches alike have preached the importance of stepping away from the game. At Sidney Crosby’s hockey school he has Soccer Canada come to teach the importance of playing multiple sports. The NHL has some shining examples. The NY Islanders Anders Lee was an All State quarterback and
Sports Ramblings
Allstate baseball pitcher. Jarome Iginla, an 18-year NHL veteran was starting catcher on Canada’s National Jr. baseball team. Paul Martin of the San Hose Sharks set a Minnesota State High School record with 189 career football receptions. Our own NHLers Don Dietrich and Ryan Caldwell represented our province in national baseball competitions. Over a dozen years ago I watched the 2014-15 NHL Art Ross Trophy winner (leading scorer) play in a national championship. But Jamie Benn was playing baseball not hockey. There were 128 players picked before Benn in the 2007 NHL draft but no others have won the NHL scoring title. He played baseball every summer, not year-round hockey. Remember the reason for playing sports and don’t
be that player worn out by competing in one sport 10-12 months a year. It’s summer and baseball season! The answer to the trivia two weeks ago was Premier Brian Pallister, who played two sports competitively. My handwriting skill caused an error in the article. Brian played B.U. basketball and also played fastball (not football) as the article stated. The answer to last week’s question is Elkhorn’s Sheldon Kennedy. Sheldon survived the Swift Current bus tragedy of 1986. Sheldon was also a leader in exposing Graham James who had abused some of the young hockey players he coached. This week asks what Manitoban has won medals in both the summer (1996) and winter (2002-2010) Olympics.

You don’t see this every day! Ken and Heather Voth of Medora won’t soon forget their 2018 calving season. Pictured is the calf (ves)? Born on April 16. “The calf was coming breech which was kind of a good thing as the cow could have never had it (them) even with our help,” said Heather. The baby (babies) were carried to term – there were two heads, two front legs, two back legs and two separate spines. Both had their teeth and the hair coat was perfect. PHOTO/HEATHER VOTH
