Butler named to All-Conference team
The Alberta College Athletic Conference (ACAC) has named Tanner Butler to the Men’s Hockey First All-Conference team. Butler, the captain of the Red Deer College Kings, had an incredible season on the blue line. The fourth-year student-athlete contributed at both ends of the ice and recorded 12 goals and 21 assists while taking care of his defensive responsibilities. The smooth skating defenceman led by example all-season and was an integral member on the Kings’ special teams. The Kinesiology & Sport Studies student from Souris, Manitoba scored six power play goals and was a key player on the penalty kill. The former player for the Dauphin Kings added one game-winning goal. PHOTO/TONY HANSEN

Souris Legion hosts curling bonspiel By Gale Collinson The annual Fun spiel was hosted by the Souris Legion on March 17. As always, everyone had a great time. There were 22 rinks entered and at the end of the day, the team of Blaine Fallis, Laurie Howe and whomever they could find to fill in (some of the original team could not be here) had the best score. They, of course, got first pick at the surprise prizes. All the curlers got to choose a prize and most of the prizes were wrapped in newspaper so no one knew what they were getting. Curlers and guests enjoyed a cold plate supper with dessert after the curling was all done. Trish Davis won the fire pit coffee table and Ardelle Woods won the gift certificate to Murphy’s Pub. Looking forward to holding this event again next year. On Wednesday, March 14, we needed 4 ½ tables for our cribbage players. Alva and Don Doherty made the highest score. Alva also won the 50-50 draw. Ending in second place was Deb Robinson with Evelyn Harlton and
Marnie Heath with Betty-Lou Noble took the third prize. Amelia Morden, Evelyn Harlton, Cindy Janz and Gale Collinson spent the weekend of March 9 to 11 in Morden competing in the Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario Command cribbage tournament. Unfortunately the cards were not cooperative and, even though their scores were high, they were not able to finish in the required top spot. As always, the camaraderie during the tournament was exceptional. Our bingo evening of Thursday, March 15, was attended by 26 hopeful noisemakers. Darlene Dooley was able to make three hollers and double shouts came from Margaret Kempf, Doris Dron, Cindy Balbar, Trish Hiebert, Betty Devins and Gale Collinson. Viola Logan yelled only once but did it on the Little House and received $40. Our meat draw of Friday, March 16, was a busy evening and multiple wins were difficult to obtain. In fact, the only person who was able to take home two meat packages was Perry Van De Kerckhove. The 50-50 draw amounted to
$120 and was won by Norma Dodd. Carol Urbanowski had the opportunity to take home $788 by finding the Ace of Spades. That did not happen, so the chase will be on next week. 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. On Saturday, March 17, we held our annual Fun spiel. As always, everyone had a great time. There were 22 rinks entered and at the end of the day, the team of Blaine Fallis, Laurie Howe and whomever they could find to fill in (some of the original team could not be here) had the best score.

EDITORIAL Fraud Prevention Month
Bogus auto theft claim and embellished injuries
Bogus auto theft claim and embellished injuries highlight Fraud Prevention Month Submitted by MPI March is Fraud Prevention Month in Canada and Manitoba Public Insurance, in support of this initiative, has released three frauds that were recently discovered thanks to solid investigative efforts. The claims savings from uncovering these frauds are estimated to be nearly $50,000. “Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime and affects honest Manitobans through the insurance premiums they pay,” said Ward Keith, vice-president, Business Development and Communications, CAO, Manitoba Public Insurance. “By heightening awareness about insurance fraud, it’s hoped more people will come forward with information about those individuals who attempt to dupe Manitoba Public Insurance and all rate payers.” Anyone with information about auto insurance fraud is encouraged to report their suspicions through the Corporation’s TIPS line by calling 204-985-8477 or toll-free 1-877-985-8477. All calls are anonymous. “Too injured to carry the garbage” The claimant, who was originally injured in a motorcycle crash, alleged he was in such extreme pain he could only stand for a few minutes at a time and was physically incapable of carrying a small bag of trash to the garbage bin. It’s a tale of woe that continued for months. With no signs of improvement and suspicions mounting around the severity of crash-related injuries, Manitoba Public Insurance’s Special Investigation Unit was asked to take a closer look. Investigators observed the man walking for long periods of time without the use of mobility aids, operating a piece of machinery, and easily pushing a fully loaded wheelbarrow. Contrary to what he had told his case manager, he was also observed driving a vehicle. After all the evidence was gathered, the man’s bodily injury claim was subsequently reviewed and terminated. “Bush-wacked car” A hunter, deep in the backwoods of the Interlake, was amazed when he came across a car in the middle of the isolated bush. It was apparent the vehicle had been deliberately parked to be out of sight. Five days earlier, the vehicle’s owner reported
that his (locked) vehicle had been stolen. The subsequent investigation found that the ignition had not been defeated, the vehicle’s immobilizer had not been compromised and there were no visible signs of forced entry. There was also only one key to the vehicle that was in the owner’s possession. An estimator examined the vehicle and determined it was in very poor condition overall and would not pass a safety inspection. It was quickly determined that the vehicle could not have been driven without a programmed transponder key. With this information in hand, Manitoba Public Insurance denied coverage due to the owner providing a false statement. “The invisible woman” The woman, in her late 20s, stated she was in a collision that resulted in injuries. She told her case manager she was struggling to take care of herself and her child, requesting income replacement payments and home care assistance. Due to discrepancies in her documentation, suspicions soon arose and the file was forwarded to the Special Investigation Unit. The woman’s tall tale quickly unravelled when an investigator spoke to the driver and passenger in the other vehicle involved in the collision. They reported exchanging particulars with an older man, who was accompanied by an elderly woman. Both eyewitnesses also confirmed the younger woman was not at the scene of the crash after they were shown a picture of her. The investigation conclusively proved the woman was not involved in the collision and not entitled to benefits. Due to false information being provided, the woman’s claim was terminated. More information about insurance fraud Fraud Prevention Month is an annual campaign held in March that aims to prevent Canadians from becoming victims of fraud. Insurance fraud – automobile, home or health care – costs Canadians more than $3 billion a year in premiums, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Organizations around the world lose an estimated five per cent of their annual revenues to fraud, according to a survey of fraud experts conducted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
Manitobans can share good news on World Water Day
Dear Editor, They protect us. They clean our water. They add value and beauty to our lives. Now, in Manitoba, we’re working to save these natural multi-tasking marvels. This World Water Day, on March 22, Manitobans can share good news with fellow Canadians. The Manitoba government recently introduced the Sustainable Watersheds Act, which will protect wetlands and their many benefits from further destruction. Ducks Unlimited Canada and other groups are helping the government to fashion drainage regulations needed to meet those goals. The legislation is timely. We continue to lose wetlands to drainage at an alarming rate. Parts of Manitoba have lost 70 per cent to 90 per cent, and the equivalent of 4.5 CFL fields is lost each day in this province. However, the Sustainable Watersheds
Act, green infrastructure funding, the Made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green Fund, and a $102 million investment to create a new Conservation Trust Fund all provide cause for hope. The Sustainable Watersheds Act will help to preserve hundreds of thousands of wetland acres that reduce flooding, store nutrients and carbon, and provide resiliency in times of drought. Funding will provide money for wetland restoration, thereby using nature to improve water quality and management. As the United Nations puts it: “Nature-based solutions have the potential to solve many of our water challenges.” In Manitoba, we’re putting those words into practice. Rick Andrews Manager of Provincial Operations Manitoba Ducks Unlimited Canada

The Souris Bantam Elks clinched the B side pennant in a one game winner-take-all final with Shilo. The hungry 10 came out flying from the start and had a 2-0 lead after one. With a couple of short-handed goals on the same penalty, Drew Barclay put the team up 4-0 after 2. Shilo climbed back with a couple of goals in the third and the boys added one more to take the game 5-2.

Souris Daycare Centre wine fundraiser brings in over $9,000 A fundraiser that the Souris Daycare Centre was undertaking as a means of covering some of the debt problems that are occurring has raised $9,135.00! The Wine Raffle was an idea that popped after parents were informed of the financial challenges facing the Centre. The draw was held March 16. Parents donated bottles of wine that were then raffled off. Jaquie Friessen won the first prize of 25 bottles of win. Second prize was 10 bottles on wine, won by Kayla Hack. Third prize was five bottles of wine, won by Mike Shuba. The Centre held an open house on Saturday, March 17 to give the public an opportunity to tour the Centre and ask questions regarding the financial plans, as was the wish of parents and the community. According to Daycare board member, Brenda Morris the turn out was not what they hoped to see. “There wasn’t a lot of people in attendance, including parents,” she explained. “It was good though, people asked us to do this an now we have. I expect from the turn out
on Saturday that everyone is happy with how we are moving forward.” Moving forward is exactly what this Daycare board and their enthusiastic fundraising committee are doing. Besides
the money that was raised through the raffle, Morris said that the general support from the community has been tremendous. “We are so pleased with the support we are receiving that we are now in a position
that we can pay our bills,” shared Morris. “The community is amazing. Half of our contractor’s bills have been paid. The local contractors have been paid and we hope to have them all covered by fall.” The Daycare Board had approached the RM of Souris Glenwood to ask for financial assistance to cover their shortfalls and allow them to pay contractors for work done on the Centre in 2017 however that request has been rescinded.
Morris explained that the fundraising committee has a few irons in the fire regarding future promotions. First up will be to provide lunch at two of the Souris Survivor Spiel social evenings. That will be followed closely by a Vessie Seeds event and they will be back in time for spring planting. The Daycare group is planning to have a garage sale during the Chamber Town Wide Yard Sales and would be willing to accept donations of items to sell.
In June they are hosting Big Daddy Tazz, which will be a larger event and follow up with Dinner at your Door in November. The final thing in the pipe is a Christmas Mom’s Pantry sale. Morris says that the feeling going forward is that they should be back on their feet by fall and acknowledge the hard work and support of everyone involved in getting them to this point. “Things are looking good,”

Souris Glenwood Foundation to host 25th anniversary celebration
submitted A 25th Anniversary only comes around once, so the Souris Glenwood Foundation decided it was something to celebrate with a special evening for everyone in the community to join enjoy. January 1993 was the date that Souris Glenwood Foundation was officially designated as a community foundation. There are now fifty-five foundations in many communities throughout the province. Thanks to gifts from donors, community foundations are able to help communities today, tomorrow and in the future. That is exactly why the Souris Glenwood Foundation was established twenty-five years ago. The Souris Glenwood Foundation Board Members have been busy planning for the 25th Celebration Evening on Thursday, April 12. They are very pleased with the support of people buying tickets, local businesses donating prizes, and sponsorship donations. It is turning out to be an evening that you won’t want to miss! The doors open at 6:30 p.m. And the program starts at 7:30 p.m. The
evening will include the presentation of the 2017 grants and a short history with the Sutter Family saying a few words. The Foundation will also receive two generous monetary donations that evening. Comedian Matt Falk will entertain the crowd so be prepared to laugh and enjoy! There have been many donations received for the Silent & Live Auction. There will also be Rainbow Bucket prizes that you may want to buy tickets for: paintings, party cooler, Native Art plates, weed trimmer, canola seed, farm chemicals and fertilizer, gift certificates and much,
much more. There is also a Wheat King Private Suite Experience for the 2018/2019 season home opener game that will be auctioned. Cash Bar and lunch is also part of the evening. The board is very appreciative of all the donations and support that the Foundation has received so far. April 12 is going to be a great evening that you will enjoy! Tickets are $25 and available at the Municipal Office, Plaza Petals, or phone Lois at 204-483-1164 Remember- “Your gift goes on giving forever in our community”

New executive for Souris Chamber
Happy 90th Birthday
MURIEL!
Four generation family picture (L-R): Pat Smith, Muriel Turner, Brock MacLellan,Brittany MacLellan. Have a wonderful birthday, Muriel.
Love, Your family
By Darci Semeschuk The Souris Glenwood Chamber of Commerce held their annual meeting on March 15. Only six members attended the supper evening and meeting which was held at Murphy’s Irish Pub. “We might not have a great turn out at the meetings but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a strong Chamber,” stated president Bonnie Radcliffe. ‘We would like to have more participation from our members but if they’re too busy to come, we understand.” The current membership drive is underway but according to reports, there are in excess of 60 members, something Radcliffe says show that Souris has a healthy business community. After the reading of the last annual meeting minutes, calls were placed for nominations for executive members. The new executive for 2018 is as follows: President: Bonnie Radcliffe; Vice-president: Sande Denbow; Treasurer: Marge Croft; Secretary: Loretta Turner. The financial statement was reviewed and membership approved the document with changes. A new plan is underway regarding how Souris Bucks are recorded. “We believe that there are Souris Bucks out in the community that have not been used,” explained Radcliffe. “We are putting out a call that all Souris Bucks be spent as soon as possible so that we can finalize our books from 2017.” The Chamber discussed several upcoming events that are run through the organization. One of those was Spring Town Wide Yard Sales. Members wondered if this event had ‘run its’ course.’ Several in attendance still believe
that the event draws people to the community and in turn, they will stop in various businesses. The other events included Fair Day Parade, Scarecrow Days and the Christmas Promotion. If these events move forward in 2018, member volunteers will be needed to help lighten the load of the executive. The Chamber meets the first and third Thursday of the month. The next open meeting will be April 5 at noon in the Kirkup Lounge. The treasurer will send out a reminder email.
Sports Ramblings
Happy
90th Birthday Julia Semeschuk
By Dale McKinnon It is good to get back in Deloraine after a few weeks out west. I tried to get the Sports Ramblings home each week but lost a couple of them in cyber space. Congratulations to the local ladies playing in the Travelers provincials. Liza Park’s team finished one win out o the playoffs. Jenna Sambrook’s Brandon rink lost in the semi-finals. I think all Deloraine hockey players have finished their seasons in junior and university. Justin Lee of Waskada and Garret Sambrook of Medora have advanced to the MJHL semifinals with the Virden Oil Capitals. Bradley Schoonbaert (Wilma’s grandson) finished just one point behind Dexter Kuczek in the MJHL scoring race with 36 goals and 55 assists. The Doc Bonar Memorial Arena is staying busy. The
Rink Rat tourney ran competitions well past midnight last weekend. The curlers take over the arena in April After some disappointing results by the curlers at the Olympics I suspect most rinks will be using the available practice times to prepare for this pre-Olympic qualifier. Last week I asked what Winnipeg Jet had more goals than Patrik Laine as a teenager. Some of you will remember former #1 pick Dale Hawerchuk who had 85 goals. Laine is closing in with 79 on March 19. He is tied with Alex Ovechkin with 43 so far this season. He also set the record for the longest point streak (15 mages) for a teenager in the history of the NHL. The Jets have never won the Stanley Cup and the Maple Leafs not for a long time. What year did the Leafs last win the Cup?
