Sabres finish third at annual tournament submitted The Varsity Girls Basketball team hosted their annual tournament, The Sabres Shootout this past weekend.

Teams from all over the province travelled to take part. The ladies opened with a game against the Hamiota Huskies.

The teams played a close first quarter with our girls holding a 5-point advantage. From there the ladies took the game over playing some awesome team basketball. In all, four Sabres reached double figures in points with April Guintu leading the way with 18. Paige Eissner added 16 and Mackenna Matiowsky chipped in with 12, and Carina Punay 10.

In the semi-final Saturday morning the ladies played a tremendous defensive game, however, they struggled to get any offense going. A mountain of turnovers plagued the team as they dropped a heart breaker to Steinbach by two points, 31-29. Paige scored 19 points and hauled down

11 rebounds, and Michelle Perez added five points and five steals.

This put the girls into the third place game and they showed some great character against a very good team from Glenboro. Trailing by four points in the fourth quarter the ladies rallied to pull off a 48-41 come from behind victory. Again Paige supplied the scoring punch as she poured in a season high 28 points and 15 rebounds. Carina dropped eight points for the Sabres.

Caitlin Bossert played a heck of tournament at both ends of the floor. Cait is a tremendous leader and she is always one of the hardest working players on the court.

She was rewarded for her efforts as she was selected to the Tournament All Star Team.

The ladies travel to Moosomin for more tournament action this weekend.

Zone 9 Basketball League Starts The Varsity Girls Basketball opened up league play on Tuesday hosting the Wawanesa Warriors. The girls played well and came away with a 66-14 victory. April Guintu hooped 13 points in the win, while Kaedynce Tuttosi added 11 points and 10 rebounds.

On Wednesday the ladies travelled to Virden to take on the Bears. The team began the game with a very determined defensive effort holding the Bears to only eight points in the entire first half. Virden pushed back to begin the second half, however, our girls were up to the challenge and used a balanced scoring attack to pull away to a 55-27 win. Paige recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Megan Simon added eight points and five rebounds while Carina Punay and April added seven points for the Sabres.

Sports Ramblings

By Dale McKinnon It was a successful weekend for the 50 year celebration of the Deloraine Royals. Not only was it a lot of fun and a lot of great visits with former teammates, a Monday check with the x-ray de-

partment at the local health facility indicated a quiet weekend!

Thank you again to the organizers of the games, supper and dance.

Quin Hobbs of the Yorkton Terriers had his first SJHL hat trick last week-

The University of Central Oklahoma is currently ranked in the top 10 of the American Collegiate Hockey Association. Nial Mills continues at a point a. game clip.

Justin Lee of Waskada is the top-scoring defenceman for the Lincoln Stars of the USHL Jr. League.

He has committed to Division 1 Denver University.

Senate report on climate change, carbon tax welcomed by Keystone Agricultural Producers submitted Keystone Agricultural Producers welcomes the recent report from the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry about the impacts of climate change and carbon pricing on agriculture.

Titled Feast or Famine, it recognizes the work that farmers are already doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This includes

practicing minimal and zero tillage, as well as utilizing cover crops, to sequester carbon in the soil.

In addition, improved animal genetics have resulted in fewer resources needed to feed and maintain livestock.

At the same time, the report points out that “without adaptation action, agriculture would be one of the sectors most damaged

by climate change.”

To that end, it calls for measures to help farmers adapt – from increased investment in adaptation research to enhanced education services.

The report also addresses the carbon tax that will be implemented by the federal government for provinces that have not put forward their own carbon tax plan – and this includes

Manitoba. Particularly, it calls for Environment and Climate Change Canada to address farmers’ competitiveness on the global market, as well as food affordability for Canadians, by exempting fuels used to heat farm buildings and propane/natural gas used in farming activities.

“The exemption of these fuels is essential because we are competing in

a world marketplace where we do not have the opportunity to set our own prices – and where our competitors will not have these costs,” said KAP president Bill Campbell.

“This report mirrors what KAP has been saying, and what we outlined in our Agricultural Solutions to Climate Change report issued earlier this year,” he said.

Campbell is calling on the federal government to implement the recommendations in the report to help farmers adapt to climate change and help mitigate its effects. He notes he had previously written to Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna, calling for many of the changes that are now contained in the report.

EDITORIAL MPs must follow through on rural crime study It took the tragic, 2016 shooting of 22-year-old Colten Boushie on a Biggar, Sask.-area farm to bring the issue of rural crime and a lack of law enforcement resources to the forefront.

In February of this year, Gerald Stanley was acquitted of second-degree murder in a case that saw a group of young adults enter his farmyard either seeking help with a flat tire or allegedly attempting to steal property. While public discourse on the case focused on racial tensions between Indigenous and

rural agricultural communities, the incident represents the worst-case scenario for what can happen when strangers enter private, rural properties unannounced or uninvited. Rural residents are frustrated with what they see as a lack of protection from both law enforcement agencies and the judicial system.

Thus, a series of town halls held across the country – including five hosted

by Brandon-Souris MP Larry Maguire in the Westman region – are instrumental to any effective movement to-

wards decreasing the anxiety of farm and small-town residents. They have had an opportunity to express their concerns and make suggestions in how to get better protection and protect themselves from what seems to be an uptick in criminal behaviour outside of the country’s major centres.

The results of the meetings – which were held in Pilot Mound, Virden, Killarney, Melita and Souris through the first two weeks of November – were compiled and formatted into a

set of 13 recommendations for submission to the federal Public Safety Committee in Ottawa. These recommendations covered a variety of issues, from Royal Canadian Mounted Police recruitment and staffing to crime prevention programming and stiffer Criminal Code penalties.

According to Maguire, many of the concerns and suggestions brought forward across the country have been similar. Of particular note are concerns with the Criminal Code and its sentencing framework

for crimes occurring on a more frequent basis in rural parts of the country; incidents such as break, enter and theft.

All of it seems to flow to the same conclusion; there is a perception that law enforcement services do not effectively cover agricultural communities, which make up a majority of the land-area on the Prairies.

Therefore, it is imperative that the proposed study by the Public Safety Committee – which is supposed to incorporate these recommendations – comes to frui-

tion. There is currently no deadline for that to happen.

Should these town halls not derive some sort of improvements to rural policing, this is all just another case of politicians paying lip service after a tragic incident has incited a national conversation.

If there is no follow through from the federal government on this fundamental safety issue for rural Canadians, not only may there be more Colten Boushies, but vigilante justice will become the norm, creating a new Wild West.

Learning from the Past, Looking to the future

By Ken Waddell Disclaimer: The writer serves as a volunteer president of the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association. The views expressed in this column are the writer’s personal views and are not to be taken as being the view of the MCNA board or Banner & Press staff.

I am told, or more precisely, I have read that Canada’s first public pension plan was introduced in 1927, with the passing of the Old Age Pensions Act. That legislation established a means-tested pension for men and women 70 years of age and over, who had little or no income. I remember hearing about “means tests” in my younger days, but I really don’t know when Old Age pensions became unconditional.

It’s interesting that back in 1927, it was expected that people would have to work until they were 70 before they got pension and only if they could prove they absolutely needed it. In those days, the average life expectancy was 61 for men and 63 for women, so lots of people never saw pension age.

Somewhere along the line, Canada reduced the pension

age to 65 and there isn’t a means test any more. There is also a supplement.

Our whole attitude to retirement is rather strange. Was it back in the 80s that Freedom 55 came along, that deal where everybody was supposed to buy RRSPs in the stock market and retire rich at 55? Well, it’s a nice idea for a limited number of people, although I can’t imagine why anyone would want to spend what can be the most productive years of their lives sitting on a beach. But that’s just my opinion.

The whole Freedom 55 thing took on mythical and largely unreachable proportions. The idea was that you would borrow from the banks, let someone else play with the borrowed money and it would magically grow into a fortune. I even tried it for a couple of years and I watched my borrowed money shrink, as someone who was even more clueless than me tried to invest it in “safe” stocks and bonds. I quickly came to the conclusion that I should pay down my operating loan and do my own investing. It sure wouldn’t be in stocks and bonds. I only invest in my own

communities and in things I understand, such as newspapers and real estate. I think that is more or less the approach taken by Jim Pattison and Warren Buffet and it is hard to argue with their success.

Last week, I read a story about BC businessman Jim Pattison. He’s 90 and still works every day. He is a fascinating man who employs 45,000 people, still drives his own truck and is still married to his first wife. I guess I better stop commenting that I am 70 years old, as I have another 20 years to catch up to Mr. Pattison. It would be good to still be working at age 90, although health (and death) often get in the way of that goal.

I guess this is the message. If a person wants to retire or can afford to retire, that’s OK. If a person’s health forces retirement, then so be it. However, if a person wants to keep working and their health allows for it, that’s good too.

In every community, there are examples of each these scenarios. It’s not all that predictable but neither is life. One day at a time, but with an eye on the future is the best plan.

The past is only a place to learn from, not to live.

Lamont, Manitoba Liberals Propose Federal Action to Protect Children in Care from Sexual Exploitation submitted Manitoba Liberal Party leader Dougald Lamont & MLA for St. Boniface met with Federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould Wednesday to ask the Federal Government to enhance the criminal code in order to protect children in the care of CFS from being sexually exploited and to put more offenders behind bars.

Lamont travelled to Ottawa with Manitoba Liberal caucus members Dr. Jon Gerrard, MLA for River Heights, and Cindy Lamoureux, MLA for Burrows, meeting with Federal Ministers to discuss important issues facing Manitobans.

Protecting children in care from being sexually exploited is critical, as the Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth report shows. The report “In Need of Protection: Angel’s Story” said there are over 400 sexually exploited children in care in Winnipeg alone, and more across Manitoba.

“This is a horrifying report, and we have asked the Federal Justice Minister and the Federal Government to change the Criminal Code so we can put the people who are preying on children behind bars,” said Lamont.

“There are laws in place, but they aren’t tough enough, especially for vulnerable minors whose lives can be destroyed by these

predators.”

Manitoba Liberals are asking for changes to section 153 (1) of the Criminal Code, which governs sexual consent. In general, Canada’s age of consent is 16, and minors under that age cannot consent to a sex with an adult. Manitoba Liberals are asking that 16- and 17-year-old wards of the state to be considered “vulnerable persons” who cannot consent if there is a power imbalance, if the minor and adult are using drugs or alcohol together, or the state tells the adult the minor cannot consent.

The Manitoba Advocate detailed how common sexual exploitation is in Manitoba:

“…hundreds of children and youth are being sexually exploited across our province. It is a heartbreaking and desperate truth that here in Manitoba, adults actively prey on, demand, and routinely purchase sex with children” (Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth - December 2018 In Need of Protection: Angel’s Story Pg. 61) “The law has to recognize that children in care are vulnerable, and we all have a duty and responsibility to ensure they are better protected,” said Lamont. “Now that it is on the radar for the Federal Government, we hope they will move forward with it and that all parties will support it.”

Blue Hills RCMP report driver was swerving, tailgating and driving on the shoulder. Members responded to a 911 hang up.

It was determined there was no emergency.

A Business alarm was set off in Souris. And Last but not least for New Years Day, a person was reported missing. Member responded and started a search for the missing person who was discovered safe and at work: a happy ending for all.

January 2 Quiet day in the Blue Hills area, which is something I am sure we all are glad to hear.

A 911 call was reported, upon investigation by the RCMP it was ascertained that the call was a miss dial, and there was no emergency. And $390 fine was issued to a speeder in the RM SourisGlenwood area.

January 3 An Assault was reported in Glenboro. Seven Traffic related incidents were also reported in Blue Hills: A deer was reported deceased, but blocking the road in RM North Cypress-Langford.

An abandoned vehicle was reported in Glenboro, officers are investigating. A hit and run was also reported in Glenboro. Dangerous driving was observed. A van on highway 1 in RM North Cypress-Langford was seen weaving and speeding along the highway.

Members located the van in question. A speeding semi was reported to members on highway 1 through Brandon. Two concerned citizens reported the same car in the ditch on highway 1 in RM Elton. Members attended

the scene, the vehicle driver over corrected when hitting the shoulder and it ended up in the ditch. A second vehicle was also reported in the ditch, this time in the RM Whitehead on highway 1, no injuries were reported there as well.

January 4 Police were dispatched to a location in RM Whitehead, for a coroner’s act call. Nothing suspicious to report.

Our condolences to the family. Members were dispatched to a Break and Enter in Souris-Glenwood area. This matter is under investigation. Blue Hills RCMP was asked to assist the EMS on a call in Glenboro-South Cypress. A call was made to members about a disturbance in Carberry.

A few traffic related incidents to report: Debris was reported on Highway 10 in RM Elton.

Upon member’s arrival at the scene the debris was all cleared off the road. A deer decided to cross the road in front of a vehicle.

As we all know, that was not a smart idea. No injuries to report from this incident. An abandoned vehicle was called into dispatch in the Glenboro area. Luckily the vehicle was not stolen, and was collected by the owner.

911 was made aware of a car on fire on highway 1 in the RM North Cypress-Langford. Once members arrived on the scene, it was determined the car was actually not

on fire, but it was smoking from the engine.

Members remained with the vehicle helping to divert traffic until a tow truck could arrive.

While members were diverting traffic from the smoking vehicle another vehicle sped past the officer. The officer had his emergency beacons on, and warned the driver that this is against the highway traffic act and all vehicles passing an emergency vehicle stopped in an activity while using proper emergency beacons, should slow down while passing or receive a fine.

January 5 An alarm call in Carberry. It was confirmed that the call was a false alarm. A person was reported walking on highway 1 in just a pair of pants and a t-shirt.

Coyote hit the side of a vehicle on highway 2 in RM Glenboro-South Cypress. No injuries were

Canada cannot rely on the US for Military and Transport Assistance in the Arctic

By Jim Collinson Canada’s is in the process of purchasing used and outdated jet aircraft from Australia to join its existing outdated machines: implying there is little need for modern military air capability.

Given the minimal efforts provided to Canada’s military generally, you have to wonder if seeking some old Harvards might do the trick: they would be cheaper, and make at least the same amount of noise as jets, while their airspeed is such that they can be seen and heard longer as they pass by. I recall hearing them, as well as twin-engine Ansons, flying over our Souris, Manitoba farmhouse during WWII, providing a comforting feeling that all is under control. No doubt, this noise was what caused me to become involved in flying…to borrow the words from “High Flight”

by John Gillespie Magee, to “slip the surly bonds of earth, and dance the skies on laughter silvered wings”.

Back to the present, for some odd reason, Canada is purchasing used jets from Australia to fill a gap.

However, they’re old and used, thus likely to require considerably more maintenance than new machines.

The Government of Canada seems to have a feeling that expenses for military capability are of low prior-

ity, hoping that the US will help out, given that Canada provides a huge buffer against attacks they might otherwise endure in the event a “third war” breaks out. However, with Trump running the show to the south (except when he’s out in California raking leaves or building fences on the Mexican border), Canada must invest in its own military capability along with working with allies to ensure peace.

Under the current circumstances, relying on the US is not a practical option!

It is no secret that the Arctic sea routes are open longer every year. Canada has a few military operations sited in the Arctic, Alert being the most northerly, but they need expansion to meet future military needs as global warming opens up not just the “Northwest Passage”, but many of the ocean areas that are and will further become more friendly for ships to the north.

Supplies are shipped to remote communities in the summer when the ocean is open, but it can be frustrated by ice floes breaking off and entering shipping routes. Air shipments are practical, but can be very expensive compared to ships. Although “icefree” waters are becoming more common for periods, winds can shift ice into channels, requiring icebreakers to accompany

some ships in certain areas.

Research is being carried out in several places in the Arctic: particularly based out of Cambridge Bay. Others can be found at Eureka and Churchill, along with other data collecting sites.

Despite limited ice breaking capacity and research or data collecting sites at the present time, climate change may require updating capacity to address a new reality.

Private boats are likely to show up, and commercial ships will become more common in the Arctic, bringing with them need for safety capability: particularly ice breakers, to avoid what could otherwise become serious events affecting many lives. Huge commercial passenger ships may hope to pass through the Passage, but consideration will be needed to ensure that in the event of a serious safety issue (e.g. hidden rocks or closed channels) imply considerable investments in icebreakers and route markers as well as updated maps.

Shipments of various natural materials as well as considerable volumes of manufactured or processed goods can expect to be carried by ships through the Arctic waters in the near future, some will come “from away” and head to other countries; others

Canadians want to know that the food on their table is safe to eat submitted The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health, announced that the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) came into effect today, ushering in a new era of food safety for Canadians.

The regulations are consistent with international standards and make Canada’s food safety system even stronger by focusing on prevention and allowing for faster removal of unsafe food from the marketplace.

These new rules also mean greater market access opportunities for Canadian food products exported abroad. In addition, they will reduce the unnecessary administrative burden placed on businesses by replacing 14 sets of regulations with one.

Under the SFCR, food businesses that import or prepare food for export or

to be sent across provincial or territorial boundaries must have a licence.

Businesses are also required to have preventive controls that outline steps to address potential risks to food safety, and to trace their food back to their supplier and forward to businesses who bought their products.

While some requirements enter into force immediately, others will be phased in over the following 12-30 months, depending on the food commodity, type of activity and business size. Business owners are encouraged to consult the sector-specific timelines on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website to determine if and when new requirements apply to them.

The United States has recently made it a requirement for all Canadian businesses that export food to

meet their new food safety standards. The SFCR will permit Canadian food businesses to acquire a licence that demonstrates that they meet the requirements under the U.S. Foreign Supplier Verification Program so that they can continue trading with the United States.

“By emphasizing prevention and faster removal of unsafe foods from the marketplace, the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations will build on Canada’s world-class food safety system and go even further to protect Canadians.”- Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health.

“The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations are consistent with international food safety standards, and position Canadian food businesses to be more innovative and competitive, both at home and abroad.

Although during WWII and some years later the US operated Arctic sites

Cougars big weekend in Winnipeg

By Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars travelled to Winnipeg for a pair of games on the weekend coming home with a pair of 5-4 wins for win number 20 and 21 in the process. The Cougars improved to 21-7-2-2 for 46-points which puts

them in 5th place after 32 games.

The Winnipeg Bruins jumped out to a 2-goal first period lead. The Cougars owned the puck for the first 10 minutes of the game but failed to find the net in the early going. The Bruins used their speed to

open the scoring.

The Cougars went on a power play early in the second and Hunter Andrew hooked up with Cory King and Tyson Kozak to get the Cats on the board. The Cougars scored with the man advantage five minutes later when Cody Gudnason took a feed from Cory King and Hunter Andrew to even the score. The Bruins took the lead back less than two minutes later as they continued to dominate the scoreboard.

The Cougars evened the score at three four minutes into the third when Callum Fortin hooked up with Hunter Andrew and Tyson Kozak. Brayden Clark then scored his second goal of the game a minute later to give the Bruins the lead. Tyson Kozak then evened the score when he converted a pass from Callum Fortin to send the game to extra time with three minutes left in regulation.

The teams went into extra time with 3-on-3.

The Bruins and the Cougars both had chances in the early going. Cory King gave the Cougars their first lead of the game and the win when he one timed a Hunter Andrew pass to send the Cougars home with the win.

Cougars dominate in the city The Southwest Cougars are sitting in third place after two big wins in Winnipeg last weekend. The Cats defeated the Bruins and the Wild each by a score of 5 4. They will now face Kenora on Friday and the Wild will be in town for a Sunday tilt. Pictured here is a file photo from the December 9 match up between the Wild and the Cougars. The Cats came out with a 3 – 2 win in that game.

Hunter Andrew had a 4-point game, Tyson Kozak returned to the line-up and had a 3-point night. Caden Wilson had a 30 save performance for the win. The Cougars fired 29 shots at Nikulas Jerris in the Bruins cage.

Sunday afternoon at the Iceplex the Winnipeg Wild and the Cougars faced off for the third time this season. The first period saw the Wild take the lead 11 minutes into the game for the lead. The Wild fired seven shots at Randy Cooke, while Brett Murphy turned aside six Cougars shots.

The Wild grabbed a 2-goal lead 42 seconds into the second as the teams continued to battle. Tyson Kozak then stole the puck at the Wild blue line on a

penalty kill and couldn’t be caught has he made no mistake to get the Cougars on the board at 9:44. The Wild regained the lead three minutes later as the Cougars tried to stay in the game.

Austin Clyne fired a screen shot at the Wild net with just over three minutes left in the second with Grady Lane picking up the helper as the Wild had a 10-9 shot advantage.

The third period saw the Cougars chase Brett Murphy from the Wild net as they scored three goals in the first 2:57 to send him to the showers. Hunter Andrew fed Tyson Kozak at full speed and he blew by the Wild defense to even the score 19 seconds into the period. Austin Clyne then banged in his second

of the game from Tanner Clyne and Landon Roberts at 2:46 for the lead. Callum Fortin then one timed a Tyson Kozak pass 11 seconds later with Cory King in on the goal. The Wild took a time out and put Carson Cherepak in who finished the game with eight saves.

The Wild scored at the 8-minute mark but the Cougars continued to pour it on outshooting the Wild 12 to 8 in the final frame for the win.

Maguire releases proposals for rural crime enforcement After hosting town halls in five communities within the Brandon-Souris riding, MP Larry Maguire has collected 13 recommendations to improve rural crime prevention and cut incident rates.

By Christopher L. Istace A frustration with Canada’s judicial system and a lack of regular Royal Canadian Mounted Police coverage in some rural areas were among the top concerns brought forward in a recent series of town halls discussing rural crime.

Hosted by Brandon-Souris MP Larry Maguire, meetings on the issue were held in Pilot Mound, Virden, Killarney, Melita and Souris, Man. through the first part of November. Maguire released a set of 13 recommendations based on information collected from those meetings last week.

The proposals were submitted to the Parliamentary Public Safety Committee, which is studying the status of rural crime and law enforcement with intentions of improving crime prevention and reducing the number of incidents occurring outside of major centres.

“A lot of comments were specifically targeted at repeat offenders and how people were constantly going in and out of the court system,” Maguire told the Westman Journal when asked about the concerns that were repeated from meeting to meeting. “The second was that people want to see an RCMP presence in their community. Many participants feel that having a constant presence in the community helps deter crime from happening in the first place as well as builds stronger ties between the public and RCMP.” The town halls hosted a mix of residents from both rural and urban municipalities. Incidents

of break, entry and theft were the most mentioned examples of criminal activity occurring both on the farm and in town.

“We had a lot of people who had volunteered in the past for organizations such as Citizens on Patrol or Rural Crime Watch and they were able to share their experiences and provide tangible examples of what had worked in the past,” Maguire said.

“We also had current and former law enforcement officials at most of the town halls. Their knowledge and expertise was very much welcomed. They were able to discuss the issue of rural crime from the law enforcement perspective and to highlight the unique challenges that come with the job.”

The information compiled from the meetings was submitted to the Public Safety Committee, which is currently collecting data from across the country to develop a report for Members of Parliament. Maguire said no date has been scheduled for the release of that report.

Among the recommendations developed from the town halls held in the Brandon-Souris Riding were: •speeding up RCMP staff allocations; • the challenges for municipalities to cover the costs of RCMP investigations; • the presence of RCMP members in rural communities; • considering the recruitment of local residents to assume RCMP posts in their home towns;

• the need for RCMP members to accompany individuals to hospitals and corrections centers when their time could be used more effectively; • an RCMP rural crime task force similar to an initiative established in Alberta; • increasing the use of technology such as mobile devices for both RCMP members and the public; • expanding the powers of sheriffs, municipal bylaw and other peace officers; • tax credits for RCMP Auxiliary and Rural Crime Watch volunteers; • enhancements in Canada’s Criminal Code to create greater deterrents to criminal activity; • financial assistance, such as tax credits, to help property owners off-set the costs of security systems; • developing and maintaining youth programming, addiction services and support networks as a means of crime prevention; • and a permanent RCMP Criminal Code advisory board that would advise on and suggest recommendations to reforming the code, providing frontline law enforcement officers a line of communication with parliamentarians and Public Safety Canada.

“The first one I would like to see implemented is to speed up RCMP staff allocations and to start recruiting new cadets from the areas that are chronically short,” Maguire said.

“I don’t want to see any detachments lose a posting perma-

Recommendations from MP Larry Maguire’s series of rural crime town halls included everything from a boost to RCMP staffing and stiffer sentencing to helping property owners offset costs of security systems. Maguire is seen here at the Town Hall meeting in Deloraine.

I want to ensure they have the necessary resources to do their job and I want to see a special emphasis on filling vacant postings in rural communities.”

Maguire said many of the concerns drawn from the meetings held in the Westman region were similar to those brought up in constituencies across Canada. Leading recommendations submitted to the Public Safety Committee from Alberta jurisdictions, for example, included amending the criminal code to stiffen sentences for crimes committed in rural areas.

“From the speeches in the House (of Commons) on this issue to the questions posed at committee, I think there will be some

overlap on recommendations,” Maguire said.

Another recommendation – more for residents than for the Public Safety Committee – came from RCMP members who suggest the public should report all incidents of crime, regardless of its seriousness. Suspects targeting rural areas with similar crimes establish patterns of behaviour that help investigators link crimes and find perpetrators.

“Another important part of combatting rural crime is focusing on addictions services and ensuring there are programs available to turn around people’s lives,” said Maguire. “If we can stop someone from turning to a lifetime of criminal activity by early intervention, that will not only decrease the overall crime rate, but I would argue it would be a good use of resources.”

Deloraine Royals celebrate 50th anniversary

By Judy Wells Fifty years of icing a senior hockey team is no small feat! The Deloraine Royals celebrated this milestone on January 12 and 13, 2019.

A pre-game presentation was held on Friday when the current Deloraine Royals hosted the Souris Elks in a Tiger Hills Hockey League game at the Doc Bonar Arena. Brian Franklin invited members and representatives of the original 1968-69 team to come out to the red carpet. They included #1 Gary Ewen, #9 Lyle Franklin, #12 Bob Willox, #13 Dunc Mills, #18 Denis Vandoorne, #20 Wayne Wilson, #21 Mike Lane and representing #15 Ken McGee – Lottie McGee, representing #4 Wayne Coxworth – Colleen Coxworth, representing #5 Bob Clelland – his daughter Julie Maynard and the Treasurer from that original Royals’ team – Bob Astle.

Brian then gave a history of the Royals: “The Deloraine Royals Senior Hockey team came into existence in time for the 1968-69 Southwest Hockey League Season.

Prior to this season a Senior team had operated out of Deloraine for three years called the Deloraine Wheat Kings. This team was managed out of Grandon but played their home games in Deloraine In 1968-69 the Deloraine Royals formed and participated in the South Division of the South West Hockey League along with the Boissevain Border Kings, Pierson Bruins, Waskada Comets, Killarney Shamrocks and Brandon University Bobcats. The Souris Elks, one of the original

SWHL teams had taken a leave of absence in 6869 before returning to the league the following year.

Willis Bolduc served as the first Royals’ President and Ivan Wilson was the Head Coach. That team played their first official game on Sunday, December 15 when they took on the Brandon University Bobcats in an exhibition game. The Royals were defeated 5-2 with Wayne Coxworth and Lyle Franklin accounting for the scoring by the home team. According to reporting in the Deloraine Times and Star, 250 spectators witnessed the game. A week later the Deloraine Royals took to the ice for their first league game in the Southwest Hockey League, taking on the rival Waskada Comets on Sunday, December 22.

The headline following the game read “Comets Edge Royals 5-4”.

During the first year, the Royals struggled in league play but achieved

success at the end of the season, winning the Eddie Armstrong Trophy in the MAHA Consolation Playoffs. According to newspaper write-ups of the time a Season ticket for 11 home games in 1968-69 went for $7.50!

In the mid to late seventies, the Royals established a League record of 6 straight Southwest League Titles, 3 Provincial A Championships and. Manitoba/Saskatchewan Championship. The 1976 edition of this team was recently inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame. The Royals brought home another Southwest Championship in 1982 and from 2006 to 2008, the team won three consecutive Hockey Manitoba MAHA Playoffs. In 2009 the Southwest Hockey League dissolved due to a lack of teams and in the fall of 2009, the Deloraine Royals joined the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) which currently boats 13 teams and is the

largest Senior Hockey circuit in the province.

The Royals quickly found success in this league as well, winning back to back THHL championships in 2014 and 2015. In 2014 they followed up their League title with a Provincial championship at the Manitoba Cup. The Royals have had a

couple of rebuilding years of late but are currently making their way up the THHL standings. As has been their tradition over the past 50 years, the Royals continue to apply the effort and determination that provides loyal fans with exciting and entertaining hockey.”

The captains of the

Deloraine Royals (Brett Morrison) and Souris Elks (Troy Kliever) were called forward for the official puck drop – done by former perennial SWHL All-Star goaltender Gary Ewen.

Following the game, a ‘Meet and Greet’ was held at The Rendezvous Restaurant.

Legion awards local students for Remembrance Day art Submitted by Gale Collinson, Souris Legion The Royal Canadian Legion annually holds a Poster & Literary Competition throughout Canada for school students from Grades 1 to 12.

The theme is Remembrance of Veterans. Grade 5 & 6 students in Souris School produce posters for this competition. The Souris Legion picks the best of these posters to go to a District 3 Competition comprising of 20 Legion Branches. The winners at District go to a Provincial Competition in Winnipeg

and those winners go to Ottawa for judging at the Dominion Level. Souris students do great work and have in the past won at all levels. Unfortunately this year, none were chosen at District. However, the Souris Legion gave a monetary reward to the five students picked to go to District. On Monday, January 14, a representative of Souris Legion, Gale Collinson, presented Gabriel De La Cruz, Yssa Pabuayon, Taylor Carlisle, Nathan McGean, and Kinton Chabluk with their cheques.

Souris School Grade 5 and 6 students created Remembrance Day posters and several were sent to District 3 for judging.
