Mayor feels energized and has passion for Souris Glenwood By Darci Semeschuk Souris Glenwood Mayor Darryl Jackson is the first member of council to declare his candidacy for re-election. “I am quite excited and ready to roll,” stated Jackson when he announced his candidacy to the Plaindealer. “I have a real interest in the community and the entire municipality and I’m committed to help lead the best way I can in a progressive manner.” Jackson was first elected mayor of Souris in 2005 and now thirteen years and one amalgamation later, he still fills that role and hopes to fill that role for another four years. “I feel that there are some projects I’d like to see through to the end,” he remarked. ‘It’s not just unfinished business that is keeping me here. I feel energized and I have a passion for Souris Glenwood.” With Jackson, who is a pharmacist by trade only working as relief now he feels he has the time and energy to devote to the municipality. “I chose to live here years ago and I fell in love with the community,” he said. “I can’t see myself being anywhere else.” Making the decision to seek re-election was a family affair. Jackson’s wife, Cherilyn is still very happy working in her role as dental therapist at West-man Dental and according to Jackson, she has no plans to retire any time soon. The Jacksons have one grown son, Grant and he has also given his blessing to his dad. Jackson feels that the
municipality has seen some growth in the past few years citing the Tuft’s Machining and Pembina Co-op expansions, the new Souris Hotel and Apartments, and Synergy Seeds. “These are all positive moves forward for our community when it’s difficult to attract business to a small community,” he remarked. “While council didn’t have a direct role in these business ventures, I believe council has worked hard to make a positive business climate.” Jackson did say that he would like to see the municipality grow populationwise but that seems to be a slow process. There are a lot of houses for sale in Souris and even Brandon has slowed down in building new homes. “We were getting the people from Brandon who were willing to commute for work and now it’s a tougher sell. It’s not just us. Southwest Manitoba is seeing a slow down.” Another avenue that Jackson would like to see develop in the municipality is retail. Unfortunately the climate does not seem to be there for that as he cited two clothing stores that opened and closed in the past four years. Council, he says would be supportive to any business plan that would come to their attention. There have been several projects that were undertaken in the municipality and Jackson praises the efforts of the people involved. These projects include the creation of the dressing rooms at the Ava-
lon Theatre and the campground sites along the river. The past four years have been busy in the Municipality of Souris Glenwood. Council, headed by Jackson has overseen the permanent dike build; major repairs to Bunclody and Colony roads; increased investment in all rural roads; Dunbar Bridge replacement; two bridge replacements in Victoria Park; Plum Creek banks stabilization project. In addition to the dayto-day operations in the municipality, Jackson says the council is responsible for all lobbying efforts on behalf of the municipality. ‘I don’t think ratepayers are aware of how much work goes into lobbying for the municipality,” he said. “It takes time and effort and sometimes you don’t see the results right away.” Jackson says that the lobbying efforts for funds for Crescent Avenue began in 2008 and they finally were successful in receiving funding in 2017. “We were really worried in 2006 when the water main in front of RBC had a major blowout.” He reminisced. “Luckily we were able to hold on but it’s taken this many years to receive approval for the project and now we’ve got a million outside dollars to use towards the project.” Council has also lobbied the federal government when they made an error in that last census that would have seen Souris lose a large amount of funding every year. Fortu-
Seeking re-election Mayor Darryl Jackson has decided to seek re-election in Souris Glenwood. He says he feels energized and has a passion for the community and asks for your vote on October 24. PHOTO/DARCI SEMESCHUK nately they caught that and with the help from MP Larry Maguire that problem is now solved. Jackson also says that council has worked towards acquiring the correct amount of policing in the municipality. “We are supposed to be allotted four RCMP members but for the longest time we were only given two,” he explained. “We continued to lobby for the additional staff and were successful in getting to where we were supposed to be with four members.” Unfortunately one of those members has now been assigned to the north and Jackson and his council will be back at it again lobbying for that fourth member. This was the first term for the amalgamated council when Souris was joined with Glenwood. Jackson
says that he believes they did a good job through the first four years for all residents of the municipality and he hopes the next council will be willing and

School bus safety rules School buses will be back on the road beginning Wednesday, September 5. According to Manitoba Public Insurance, school buses are actually among the safest vehicles on the road, especially in terms of protecting their precious cargo. Children are at the greatest risk when they’re getting on and off the bus. School buses are equipped with special mirrors installed at the front and STOP arms to help keep children safe. But safety equipment alone
can’t guarantee accidents never happen—motorists, parents and kids all play a role in school bus safety. • Flashing yellow lights on the school bus indicate that the bus is getting ready to stop and load or unload. This means that you need to slow down and get ready to stop. • Flashing red lights indicate that the bus has stopped and that children are getting on or off. It is illegal to pass a school bus from either direction once it’s stopped and has its lights activated unless
there is a physical barrier (such as a median) between your vehicle and the bus. • As soon as the bus
driver turns on the flashing red lights, drivers coming from both directions must immediately stop at least five metres
from the bus and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing, the STOP arm folds away and the bus begins to move.
• Be extremely cautious around school buses and remember that young children are prone to sudden movements.

Some silage of early seeded corn has begun. Sunflowers are in the R5 stage. Some areas reporting increased grasshopper activity and some areas reporting a large number of flea beetles. No major disease issues reported. As dry conditions con-

Producers cutting and baling sloughs and ditches to pick up extra feed. Several producers baling straw from the cereal harvest to extend winter feeding. Dugouts are 40% full and some producers are looking at options for filling dugouts for winter water supplies.
Manitoba Crop Report Favourable weather continued to advanced harvest. Low humidity and limited rain causing premature ripening, limited pasture regrowth and very dry seed. Spring cereal, canola, dry bean and early soybean varieties harvested. Potato top-killing has occurred. Spring cereal yields have been better than expected with high protein

Southwest Region Another week of dry weather continued harvest progress. Rainfall on Sunday brought some relief from dry conditions,
but ground remains very dry and hard. Some areas in the southeast side of region reported hail. Winter wheat and fall rye harvest is complete with average yields reported for both crops. Pea harvest is complete with reported average yields of 55 to 60 bu/ac and good quality. Cereal crops harvest continues with spring wheat 55% complete, yields from 50 to 65 bu/

EDITORIAL Truckers getting carbon tax ticket while big emitters get a pass by Todd MacKay, CTF The CTF is Canada’s leading non-partisan citizens’ advocacy group fighting for lower taxes, less waste and accountable government. Founded in 1990, the CTF has more than 120,000 supporters and 7 offices across Canada. The CTF is funded by free-will, non tax-receiptable contributions. The carbon tax must be making Manitoba truckers feel like they’re getting pulled over and fined, even though they’re just doing their jobs, while corporate-types race by and get a friendly wave from government. The unfairness of a carbon tax is becoming clear. Families are wondering why they’ll be punished for filling up their run-of-themill minivans when hybrid equivalents are unaffordable at twice the price. Small businesses are wondering why they’ll be pushed for heating with natural gas when
Manitoba Hydro’s electricity rates are rising indefinitely. But truckers provide a particularly poignant example of unfairness. Manitoba’s carbon tax will make the price of diesel jump by 6.7 cents per litre. It’ll cost people using heavy diesel vehicles, primarily truckers, over $50 million every year, according to the Manitoba Trucking Association. That’s about 20 per cent of the total amount the province plans to collect through the tax. Yet, heavy diesel vehicles are only responsible for 10.9 per cent of Manitoba’s emissions, according to the MTA. And here’s the part that could provoke the most patient trucker to profanity: Manitoba’s biggest carbon emitters are getting a special deal. Instead of paying the carbon tax, Koch Fertilizer and five other big emitters can choose to pay for credits if
their emissions rise above certain benchmarks. While the Manitoba government will hit everyone else later this year, big emitters will be off the hook until some time in the middle of next year. There are a lot of unknowns about this special deal. Where will the government set the benchmarks? How much will the credits cost? Will big emitters actually reduce emissions? Here’s what we know for sure: big emitters will pay less. The reason for the special deal is obvious. If the government raises the cost of production, but that cost can’t be passed on to customers in global markets, big emitters will shift production and emissions to other jurisdictions. That would hurt the Manitoba economy without helping the environment. It’s a familiar refrain for Manitoba farmers. Making the cost of production higher
in Manitoba won’t reduce global emissions, but it will give a competitive advantage to farmers in North Dakota. Farmers got a special deal: they won’t pay carbon taxes for on-farm diesel, but they’ll still get hit for running their grain driers, applying fertilizer and shipping their crops to market. So what’s wrong with truckers? Why aren’t they getting a special deal? The government will say truckers don’t deserve a special deal because they don’t compete on global markets. In other words, truckers can just stick customers with the bill. Plus, they’ll claim a carbon tax will force truckers to get more efficient. Truckers may find that explanation hard to swallow. They surely will pass some of the carbon tax cost on to Manitobans, but not all of it. So truckers will be poorer. Manitobans will also pay more for everything shipped by truck. It’s also hard to see how a punishing carbon tax will drive efficiency. Truckers already pay hundreds of dollars every time they fill up so they’re already working hard to save fuel.

Information session for potential candidates in the October 24, 2018 school trustee elections Submitted by Manitoba School Boards Association If you’ve ever thought about becoming a school trustee, or just wanted to find out more about what school boards do, now’s your opportunity, thanks to free public information sessions being sponsored by the Manitoba School Boards Association. According to Ken Cameron, president of the association, the purpose of these sessions is two-fold. “People often have technical questions about running in a school board election, questions about qualifications, nomination procedures, and what they can and can’t do when it comes to campaigning,” noted Mr. Cameron. “These sessions will answer questions that people have now, and will provide them with contact information for answers to any new questions that arise over the course of the nomination and election period.” Secondly, these sessions will provide an overview of the role of school trustees and school boards. “The role that school boards play in our public school system is an important one. School
boards ensure that decisions concerning public schools remain locally informed and community-owned. Multiple studies have shown that wellinformed and well-functioning school boards, doing the right things for the rights reasons, have a very positive impact on student success,” concluded Mr. Cameron. “Through these information sessions, we want to make sure that those who run for school board office have a clear understanding of what the job entails.” In-person information sessions are scheduled for Winnipeg and Brandon on September 10 and 11 respectively and will run for approximately one hour. There is no cost to attend these sessions, and pre-registration is not required. Anyone not able to attend one of these in-person sessions is invited to view the online version posted to the association’s website. To learn more, contact the Manitoba School Boards Association at 204-233-1595 or 1-800-262-8836 (tollfree in Manitoba), or visit www. mbschoolboards.ca for more information.

Kozak signs with Portland Winterhawks By Darci Semeschuk Sixteen-year-old Tyson Kozak has signed with the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Hockey League (WHL.) Tyson, who plays centre has been on their protected list for a year and made an impact at the 2018 camp. He signed with the team on August 27. He was acquired by Portland in the sixth round of the 2017 Bantam draft. Including veterans, eighty players showed up for camp and Tyson was one of only four rookies who made the cut to stay on. Of those four, two were sent home at the end of camp and two, including Tyson were asked to stay
for the exhibition games. According to Portland’s head coach, Mike Johnston, he plans to pull Tyson up for five or six games this season likely when Cody Glass goes to world juniors of if Glass gets called up to the NHL. Johnston says to expect Tyson to assume a full time role with the team in the 2019 season. Tyson will remain with the Winterhawks throughout preseason and will be returned on Sunday to resume his role with AAA Midget Southwest Cougars. Tyson is the son of Michelle Ryckman Kozak and Trevor Kozak of Souris.
Kids are back to school By Darci Semeschuk It’s “Back to School” time Wednesday, September 5 for children in the Southwest Horizon School Division (SHSD) and motorists are encourages to stay alert in areas where children are present, paying special attention during the morning and afternoon hours when they come to and from school. Many times, children are so excited to get back to school season they forget to look out for cars while others have trouble making accurate judgments about traffic speed and distance. Drivers should look out for children, who may dart into streets near school zones, playgrounds, and school bus stops, and in neighbourhoods. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, pedestrian injury is the second leading cause of injury-related death in the U.S. for children between 5 and 15 years of age. In 2005, more than 33,500 children
Southwest Horizon School Division Superintendent Caroline Cory has released a letter to all division families welcoming them to the new school year. Students across the division will be back in class Wednesday, September 5. PHOTO/SHSD were treated in emergency rooms for pedestrian-related injuries. So please exercise caution when driving. SHSD Superintendent Caroline Cory released a message to all division families on the website. It is here in full: Dear SHSD Families, Welcome to our new
families and welcome back to everyone else! I hope that you have enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with adventures, big and small. We will very soon return to school routines, schedules, backpacks and lunches. Although many try to hold onto summer and avoid this transition for as long as possible, once it is made it usually feels great to return to the structure of a community of learners. Southwest Horizon School Division’s vision is Learning Today for Tomorrow’s Opportunities. SHSD is committed to learning and enriching our communities with inclusive, outstanding educational choices but we cannot fulfil this commitment without your partnership and support. It is our moral, ethical and practical duty to prepare every child to succeed in our society. Communities across Manitoba, whether large or small will only be as successful as our future citizens.
Jamie Vollmer, businessman, attorney and author of Schools Can’t Do It Alone states, “Every aspect of your quality of life is directly related to the quality of our schools!” The SHSD staffs that work with your children recognize this tremendous responsibility. We also recognize that we do not yet have a perfect system but are committed to developing high quality schools in each of our communities. We believe we have much to celebrate, are proud of our student and staff accomplishments and look forward to working with you, the people who know your children best. I encourage you to visit your child’s classroom, ask questions, provide feedback, and communicate as often as you wish with your child’s teachers and administrators. Our partnership is vital to your child’s and our schools’ success. We are in this together!

By Darci Semeschuk After two years of bringing another avenue of news to the region, the online publication, Southwest Post has folded. According to the creator of the publication, Glen Kirby the advertising he has hoped to see from area businesses and municipalities did not materialize. Kirby moved to a paid subscription format a year ago in an effort to combat the low advertising. “With unexpectedly low ad sales over the first year, we attempted to monetize the operation by charging a subscription fee but have been unable to convert enough free readers
into paying subscribers,” he wrote in an online article announcing the closure of the publication. Since launching in the summer of 2016, according to Kirby Southwest Post provided timely, relevant and balanced reporting on six municipalities in southwest Manitoba. The website recorded over 3.2-million visits during the first year alone, as Southwest Post broke stories each day that would otherwise be unreported or ignored by other media. “Unfortunately, advertisers did not see the value offered by our unique market reach, which included nearly 2,000 subscrib-

Carbon tax continued Continued from Page 3 and Volvo won’t speed up R&D just because there’s a carbon tax in Manitoba or even Canada. In fact, a carbon tax will leave truckers with less to invest in existing efficiency upgrades. But, if the government gives truckers a special deal, who’s next? Manitoba outfitters compete for global tourism dollars and can’t run their remote hunting and fishing camps without diesel gen-
erators – don’t they deserve a special deal? What about families who need minivans to get their kids to school? There is a fundamental unfairness creeping into Manitoba’s carbon tax policy. The province’s biggest emitters are getting a special deal while families, truckers and others take it on the chin. It’s time for Premier Brian Pallister to acknowledge that his carbon tax is fatally flawed.

Southwest Silver medal for Peaslee at Summer Games Cougars ready to go By Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars begin play the last weekend in September in Kenora, Ontario, as the 2018/2019 season gets under way. The Cougars preseason begins the weekend of September 7 when the Midget and Bantam teams will begin the selection of this year’s Cougar teams. The following weekend the Midget Cougars will begin play on September 13 when they play host to 6 AAA league team, the following weekend the bantam Cougars host a preseason tournament in Souris. The midget Cougars has a number of players away at Western Hockey League (WHL) camps, as well as Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) camps. Trent Sambrook, Matthew Ramsey, and Hunter Andrew will attend the Wheat King camp. Landon Roberts was in Tri Cities, Cory King is skating in Moose Jaw, Cody Shearer travels to Victoria, Jordan Chudley
will be back in Kootenay, BC, and Callum Fortin will be in Regina, while Tyson Kozak has been impressive in Portland. Randy Cooke, Rylan Gudnason, Tanner and Austin Clyne are attending MJHL camps. The Cougars have a great group of bantam aged players coming to camp led by Grady Lane, who will begin the season on the side lines with a lower body injury, Braeden Lewis, Trevor Hunt, Cody Gudnason, Nolin Wickam, Brayden Mosset, Hunter Wallace, and Myles Sobry will be looking to crack the line up. The Cougars will also see some high school players look to crack the roster as well as returning veteran Tanner Lawrence. The Cougars look at have a season with more wins than loses as the Cougar program continues to be a developing ground for young men looking to improve their hockey options.

Drake Peaslee of Souris was a member of the Manitoba Special Olympics Soccer Team that participated in the National Summer Games. In game one, Manitoba met New Brunswick defeating them by a score of 7 – 0. Drake scored three of Manitoba’s seven goals. IN game two, Manitoba tied Quebec by a score of 2 – 2. Drake had one assist in that match. Manitoba went on to defeat Newfoundland by a score of 2 – 1 and Drake netted two assist. This advanced Manitoba to the gold medal final where they met Quebec once again. Drake scored the lone goal for Manitoba as they were defeated by a score of 2-1. This meant that the Manitoba team returned home with a Silver Medal.
CELEBRATING OUR 1 YEAR
Anniversary with a
SENIOR’S DISCOUNT
The week-long competition and hard-earned victories showcased the awe-inspiring abilities of Canadian athletes, who
competed in both team and individual sports. More than 5,000 athletes, coaches, volunteers, parents, siblings and fans were on site at St. Francis Xavier University campus, creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. Those memories aren’t
just created at National Games - but also yearround in Special Olympics programs that take place everyday in communities across Canada. Congratulations Drake. Drake is the grandson of Marie and Bert Peaslee and son of Rod Peaslee.

RCMP respond to fire and theft submitted On August 21, 2018 at 3:10 pm Blue Hills RCMP responded to a mobile home fire via provincial 911, 3 1/2 kilometres northwest of the Town of Souris. All people evacuated. Fire has spread to the nearby grass as well. Souris Glenwood Fire Department on scene extinguishing active fire that was contained to the mobile home and a small shed to the north. The fire did not spread to an adjacent shop. No one injured. Cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The matter is not considered suspicious. On August 21, 2018 at 10:30 pm Blue Hills RCMP were advised of a theft of pick up truck from a rural property 15 kilometres north east of Brandon. The theft took place sometime be-
tween 3:00 pm and 10:00 pm on August 21st. Stolen was a 2013 Black Toyota Tundra with Manitoba licence plate GLJ 910. RM North Cypress Langford: On August 21 at 5:25 pm Blue Hills RCMP dispatched to a fire 1.5 kilometres northwest of the town of Carberry. It was reported that a combine overheated. The fire was located next to the CN rail tracks. No further damage reported. Not considered suspicious. RM of Cornwallis: On August 22, 2018 just after midnight a neighbour called and reported a fire across the road in an old shed. No residence on the property and shed has been abandoned for a while. Brandon Fire and Emergency Services attend along with Blue Hills RCMP. Fire was extin-
Souris Legion news – Ace still eludes by Gale Collinson On Friday, August 17, our meat draw was a little quieter than last week, but multiple wins were still difficult. No one was able to collect more than 1 package of meat. Mike Belbas held the winning number on the 5050 draw and received $90. The pot for “Chase the Ace” amounted to $2,531.50 and Marnie Heath tried to take it home. The Ace of Spades proved to be elusive and it will be up for grabs again next week. On the weekend eight of our golfing members were in Carman competing in the Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario Command Legion golf tournament. Our golfers were not able to come home with the first place trophy. Apparently close does not count for anything in golf. They did have a very good enjoyable weekend as they do most of the time. So, I think, they will be planning on playing in the Provincial Tournament again next year.
Our meat draw of Friday, August 24, was busy and Lady Luck was reluctant to help many people. In fact, the only person that managed to take home two meat packages was Joan Harlton. The 50-50 draw was worth $121 and the lucky ticket belonged to Jeff Kohut. Cheryl Menard tried to find the Ace of Spades to pick up $2,634 but it was not to be found; perhaps next week. Cheryl’s parents, Linda & Tom Englehart from Lethbridge AB, were welcome visitors. After the draws were completed, we were able to have a cold plate meal which had three choices of meat with salads and an apple crisp for dessert. 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. Good to see Dusty May celebrating his birthday with us. I also heard that Alys Will celebrates a birthday on August 25.

Senior’s Organized Services by Mary Ann Carlisle Office phone and fax number is 204-483-3106 Wow, what a welcome change in the weather, a thunderstorm, lots of rain, hope it is enough to help! The evenings are cooler and the trees are sporting their fall colours already. Guess we know what that means, fall is in
the air! We are always glad to hear from you, just to say hello, or to help find someone to help with household chores, such as cleaning etc.; and / or yard work help too. Souris has a HandiVan to anywhere in town or to Brandon as needed. We arrange with them
for a trip to Brandon as an outing for you to get things you are not able to purchase in town. Next trip will be September 19. Please call us if you are interested in going, its’ a treat to get away for a few hours and meet up with friends for lunch too! From the look of the leaves we will be hav-
ing fall clean ups soon so if you would like some help with this please give us a call and we will do our very best to have someone come as soon as they are needed. We also have cleaners to help you inside and outside your homes for fall cleaning. Keep this date in mind,

ANSWER:
Like puzzles? Then you’ll 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!
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!
for your enjoyment, we have the group “Prairie Joe” returning February 27, 2019, I know it’s quite a ways away, but they just contacted us and we don’t want you to miss their great performance. Want something to do, come and join others and us on Monday and Wednesday for armchair exercises, Wednesday afternoons for fun bingo, Fridays for games afternoon, all held at VPL. Call us for times. Also on Thursdays we have fun chair exercises there too. All seniors are welcome to join us; we would love to see you soon. Words to think about: 1. A stranger entering a church was handed a rather tattered Bible. “ I’m sorry,” said the man at the door,” but they are all like that.” “ Don’t apologize,” said the stranger. “If the Bibles are falling apart, it shows that your congregation isn’t”. 2. Love and friendship are rich gold threads which run through the tapestry of life making it sparkle and glow with their warmth. 3.We can never replace a true friend. When a man is fortunate enough to have several, he finds
they are all different. No one has a double in friendship. If you are in the hospital or even at home and would like us to come for a visit, we would be more than happy to do so. Just call the office and we will come when it suits you! S.O.S. also hooks up the Victoria Lifeline, and we have ERIK Kits (Emergency Response Information Kits) available at our office too, please call us for more information on either of these important things. We are hoping to plan a fall trip to Daly House Museum in Brandon or to Fairlight Saskatchewan, (lunch) Maryfield, Saskatchewan to walk around memory Lane, and maybe a stop in Virden. They have a great shoe store there. If you have other ideas please let us know. Teenie took a few ladies last week to Ninga Cafe for lunch then on to Killarney to look around. We love your ideas, but also need a few people to come to have some fun on a day away from home! That’s all for this week, try hard to stay cool, and we hope to hear from you soon.
