Ice takes out Victoria Park Bridge Spring flood woes continue for Souris even when youʼre not expecting it. The ice went out on Plum Cr eek over the weekend of April 4 - 5 and with it went the wooden pedestrian and vehicle bridge near the bird sanctuary. Acco rding to a witness, ice as much as a foot thick let go on Plum Creek and simply ripped out the bridge. Town crews are assessing the damage and will proceed with repairs in the near future.

Bridge wiped out by ice floes by Darci Semeschuk

It’s devastation and nobody saw this one coming. All the flood reports released by the Province of Manitoba for 2015 had local officials thinking we were in the clear but they could not have predicted the large ice floes that would let go on Plum Creek and wipe out the Victoria Park Bridge.

Residents will be familiar with the pedes - trian and vehicle bridge that gives visitors to the park access to both sides. The large wooden structure was struck by ice floes along Plum Creek that were 12 inches thick. The entire deck has been torn out and once again the park is closed to vehicle and foot traffic.

“We didn’t expect anything like this to hap - pen.” explained Town official Brent Fallis. “The bridge is destroyed and now we have to get to work getting it ready for summer.”

In fact, Fallis said that engineers were out in Souris on Monday to survey the damage and the reports are encour - aging.

“The engineers said that the structure is still strong so probably just the deck will need to be replaced,” added Fallis.

Town officials will be meeting over the next few days to determine a course of action. Fallis believes the work can be done locally but unfor - tunately, there is no dis - aster assistance or insur - ance to cover these types of repairs. Taxpayers will be on the hook for the entire cost.

Award winning producer’s flood

documentary, a personal journey

A new documentary film showing residentsʼ battle against the record-breaking 2011 flood and the destruction of the famous Swinging Bridge will premiere this month at the Souris Avalon Theatre. Award winning television producer, Glen Kirbyʼs documentary, The Bridge, wasnʼt just professional. Kirby grew up in Souris and fought side by side with people from all different ages and backgrounds, in the mud, filling sandbags during the Flood of 1976. For him, the journey was personal. Pictured above: The Kirkup house and island protected by a ring of sandbags in 2011. Right: Glen Kirby.

submitted A new documentary

film showing residents’ battle against the record- breaking 2011 flood and the destruction of the famous Swinging Bridge will premiere this month at the Souris Avalon Theatre.

“The Bridge is a com - pelling glimpse into a town rallying against a natural disaster of his - toric proportions, told through the stories, pho - tos and video of the peo - ple on the front lines. It’s a universal story of trag - edy and triumph,” says producer/director and for - mer Souris resident Glen Kirby

Over three months in 2011, the Souris River reached levels which flood forecasters in Canada and the US esti - mate will only occur once every 200 to 500 years. Residents worked round- the-clock to build dikes and sandbag vulnerable properties, assisted by volunteers from across Manitoba and the Canadian Armed Forces.

“That flood helped us to understand that, as we go forward as a com - munity, we need one another,” says Sandra

Denbow, a Souris Town Councillor and Chamber of Commerce president, interviewed in The Bridge.

The hour-long film fea - tures a number of people retelling their flood expe - riences including Bill Kirkup, Blair Bastion, Paulette Pauchilo and Don and Joyce Kowlachuk.

“You kinda get caught up in the flood,” recalls Kirkup, who was evacu - ated with wife Sheila, from the riverside home that they’ve occupied since the early 1960s. “It’s like a treadmill. You’re on it and you don’t know how to get off.”

As part of a State of Emergency declared dur - ing the flooding, more than 90 properties were evacuated in the Town of Souris and the Rural Municipality of Glenwood, and 190 resi - dents displaced. Some were not allowed back into their homes for three months, while crews built sandbag dikes and then giant earthen berms to protect vulnerable homes and business.

“The sheer numbers would scare you,” says Souris-Glenwood Mayor

Darryl Jackson, one of the key persons who navi - gated the community through the flooding that continued from April to July.

“800,000 of the 50- pound sandbags, and just under two thousand of the super sandbags.” He adds, “It was enormous, but to everyone’s credit, we beat the crest.”

Kirby, a native of Souris and award-winning television producer, wanted to document the 2011 flood story because of his involvement in the town’s previous worst flood on-record in 1976.

“I will never forget how we joined together, people from all different ages and backgrounds, side-by-side in the mud, filling sandbags. Those feelings and experiences are represented in The Bridge,” said Kirby.

A premiere screening is planned at the Avalon Theatre in Souris at 7:00 p.m. on April 22. Admission will be free with a silver collection for the volunteer-run Theatre. Debbie Butler, chairper - son for the Avalon Theatre Committee, is inviting people to stay for coffee following the

movie. “This screening is

another example of the new ways in which the Avalon is being used,” says Butler. “Last month, we hosted a theatre pro - duction from Winnipeg brought in by the Souris Arts Council. We’re tak - ing bookings for birthday parties. There’s plenty going on at the Theatre in addition to Hollywood movies on the weekends.”

DVDs of The Bridge will be available at the premiere and online at w w w. k i r b y c o m m u n i - cations.ca, with all pro - ceeds from DVD sales going to a new schol - arship award in the Southwest Horizon School Division.

“I’m very excited to announce this new annual award for students pur - suing an education or career in media and com - munications,” says Kirby, who attended Souris Collegiate Institute (now Souris School) from Grades 1 to 12.

“The education and opportunities that I received in Souris are fundamental to who I am today and the career that I enjoy,” added Kirby.

After seventeen years the Souris Survivor Spiel is still going strong. There are fewer teams then there used to be but participation is still great. I am a member of the Souris Skatepark committee and we were pleased to be offered the opportunity to present the late night lunches at both dances, Thursday and Saturday. While Thursday was a little slower, we sold out of hot dogs on Saturday. That was a busy night and a fun dance.

That’s one thing that I like about the Curling Club - they host a huge event and share with organizations in the community making it a win win for everyone. I think the Curling Club should be commended for their commitment to the community and the Complex.

In a side note, I noticed Norm Bourgeois dashing around on Saturday night. He was very busy and I know it wasn’t just Saturday night. I know he is just one of the many volunteers who make the event happen but they’re all close to Norm’s age. I can’t help but wonder, who is going to fill those very big shoes when guys like Norm decide to retire. There aren’t too many young faces in line to do the job. What do we have to do to get the young people involved?

********** Mike Duffy has had an illustrious career in

journalism, no doubt about that. Now that he has been charged with fraud, breach of trust and bribery. Sadly for Duffy, his appointment from Prime Minister Harper maybe his undoing, and it’s all for $90,000! A ridiculously small amount of money when you look at the fact that this trial will cost tax payers millions of dollars.

Duffy faces 31 counts, grouped into four clusters according to a report from the Ottawa Citizen: Expense claims for his Ottawa house, based on the notion that it was a secondary residence he kept so he would have a place to stay while in the capital for Senate duties. One count of fraud over $5,000, one count of breach of trust; Expense claims unrelated to Senate business, such as claiming pay for days he was on vacation or campaigning for the Conservative party. Five counts of fraud under $5,000, four counts of fraud over $5,000, nine counts of breach of trust; Awarding consulting contracts to a friend which the RCMP say were for work never done. Two counts of fraud under�$5,000, two counts of fraud over $5,000, four counts of breach of trust; Accepting $90,000 from the prime minister’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, so he could pay back some of the expense claims and smother the growing scandal. One count of bribery, one count of fraud on the government, one count of breach of trust.

Forty-one days have been set aside to hear testimony in the trial before the judge deliberates - 41 days, millions of dollars of taxpayers money.

The Honky Rule by Vern May

He’s cool, he’s cocky, he’s bad. One of the influences from my youth that inspired me to want to get involved with wres - tling was the Honky Tonk Man. His colourful, over the top demeanor on tele - vision and his outrageous antics captured my imagi - nation and I was thrilled to learn that I would be travelling and working with him in 2003. I was sent to pick him up from the Seattle Airport and I remember it being one of the rare occasions in my life when I found myself a little star struck - trans - ported back to my youth with the lasting images of his WWE career flashing through my mind. I was waiting for him at bag - gage claim and when he emerged, garishly dressed in a loud Hawaiian shirt with his Elvis-pompadour hair I knew there was no mistaking him - as he was the centre of attention by folks throughout the Airport. I approached him, introducing myself and asked if I could help him with his luggage. He

replied courteously and declined the offer. “ No thank you. If you pack it, you tote it. ” I imme - diately dubbed this, ‘ The Honky Rule’ - one which I tried to implement but was neither popular (nor adhered to) by my wife in our travels after that point.

What I came to learn about the Honky Tonk Man, who has often been dismissed as a ‘ character ’ and not a talented pro between the ropes, was that he was traditionally trained like many of us were. He had, prior to the height of his fame, trav - elled the territories with stops in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Alberta and other inter - national ports of call before someone came up with the gimmick for which he is best known. I wrestled the WWE legend 17 times over the follow - ing decade, in addition to other appearances together at various comic conventions and trade shows. Through those travels we became good friends. In fact, when I released my book

“ Wrestling in the Canadian West ” in 2009, Honky was gracious enough to write a brief endorsement for my efforts which appeared on the back cover.

Perhaps my favourite tale of travelling with the Honky Tonk Man was a 2005 trip that we did together in Nova Scotia. On the night of our arrival in Halifax, before the tour began, the crew had gathered for a social evening and as the night drew to a close, Honky was holding court in a hotel room, explain - ing to the young guys on the tour the importance of being distinct and setting yourself apart from your peers. He stood before the group and said, “ Nobody wants to buy a ticket to see someone who looks like their neighbour. Do you think that I look like my neigh - bour?”

I couldn’t help it. In my mind, all I could pic - ture was this idyllic American neighbourhood where people were out mowing their lawns, rid - ing their bicycles, catch -

ing a suntan in a lawn chair and carrying about a routine weekend on a summer day ... but they were all Elvis impersona - tors - in my imagination, the Honky Tonk Man DID look like his neighbour. I burst out laughing at the back of the room, much to the horror of the junior members of the tour and the promoter, who felt that I would offend the legend.

In the hours of travel across the country together, we discussed a number of topics and one time I suggested that he should consider writing a book about his life and career - identifying that this is a project I would love to collaborate on. His reply. “ The problem is, when you put in all of the best stories - the cra - ziness that’s all true -- nobody would believe it! ” He’s probably right.

I appreciate all of the lessons and wisdom that I gained during my travels with this fellow, who is still regarded today, 27 years later, as the greatest WWE Inter-Continental Champion of all time.

Editor’s note: It has been announced recently that Souris and area is losing longtime physician, Dr. Jasper Stone. The follow - ing letter is Dr. Stone’s letter to the editor and community concerning his intended move: Dear editor,

I am sad to say that after 12 1/2 years in the community, that it is time for my family and I to move on. I appreciate the opportunity given to me by everyone including patients, RHA, supporting staff and the wonderful

people of Souris to be able to practice and pro - vide care to so many deserving patients over the course of the last 12 1/ 2 years.

I have been very for - tunate to have had a great mentor and partner in Dr. Cram and great staff at

Souris Clinic. Souris is really blessed to have such a committed, knowl - edgeable and caring medi - cal team and I know that they are well respected and appreciated in the community.

In the next three months I will be working

diligently with the RHA and local resources to try and secure another phy - sician to replace me. I do, however, anticipate that my last working days will be towards the end of June.

Dr. Jasper Stone, MD, CCFP

submitted Cory Friesen is excited

to deliver the last of the series of “The Power of Music” concert-fundrais - ers that have raised money for music in various Care Homes in the westman area since June of 2013.

While creating and managing the largest rural branch of Artists in Healthcare, MB as it’s voluntary Program Coordinator, Corey’s con - cert-fundraisers have raised over $10,000, while his grant writing has suc - cessfully been awarded $8,500 from the City of Brandon Grants. His out - reach work has provided 320 concerts of live music

for residents in Brandon, and there have been biweekly concerts for those in Souris’s Care Home and Victoria Park Lodge since January 2015.

Though this is the last concert-fundraiser that Friesen can commit to voluntarily hosting (in either community), he will continue to manage the program and will be look - ing towards partnerships/ support within Souris councils/businesses to continue to fund a pro - gram of therapeutic musi - cal concerts in the future.

The funds raised in December 2014 will run out by mid June 2015 an d the bi-weekly concerts

have been so well- received! In light of this, Corey is planning his last concert-fundraiser on April 19 at St. Paul’s United Church at 2:00 p.m. All funds donated at this afternoon concert will be put towards providing music to those residing in the Souris Personal Care Home and the Victoria Park Lodge. The amount raised will determine the amount/type of program offered. It has been expressed that the resi - dents would GREATLY appreciate weekly con - certs as opposed to biweekly.

Souris Program costs breakdown for July-

December 2015: Bi-weekly concerts -

$150/month x 6 = $900; Weekly concerts - $275/ month x 6 = $1,650.

The afternoon will fea - ture a collaboration of choral music, violin, cello, guitar, clarinet and piano! Please come sup - port a worthy cause and enjoy an afternoon of excellent music.Tickets sell for $15 and are avail - able at the door. Remember, tax-deductible receipts available for any donation above the ticket price.

Please contact Corey for further details at 204- 319-0254 or email: [email protected].

On Wednesday, April 1, we needed 4 1/2 tables for Cribbage players. Debbie Robinson and Evelyn Harlton achieved the best score of the evening. Alva and Don Doherty took 2nd place and the 3rd spot went to Betty Devins with Joan Phillips. The 50-50 draw was won by Lyall Edgerton.

We had 20 optimistic noisemakers attend our bingo evening of Thursday, April 2. Definitely the most noise came from Chuck Dron who made four hollers. Closest any - one could get was two shouts and these were made by Marie Neilson, Marg Rose, Cindy Janz and

Gale Collinson. Marion Morris made only one yell but it was on the Little House so she received $24.

Because April 3 was Good Friday, we held our meat draw on Saturday, April 4. Only Joan Harlton and the household of Rae and Ken McBurney were able to collect two pack - ages of meat. Rae also held the winning ticket on the 50-50 draw and got $67. The Ace of Spades was worth $3,194 and the chance to take it home went to Barb McKinnon. She was unable to find it and so we will try again next week.

Please remember that our General Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 21, starting at 2000 hours (8:00 p.m). Please plan to attend. We will be present - ing the proposed budget for the upcoming year.

submitted Seventeen years and

still going strong! The Souris Curling Club went back in time to the Wild West last weekend converting the Souris Glenwood Community Complex to a saloon and dance hall, as well as a 10 sheet curling facility. One hundred and seven teams took part over the five day event and Wednesday saw 16 youngsters take part in the Bantam Jamboree. These future curlers got to curl two games, have pizza, play some Rocks and Rings in the hall, and they ended the day with the trophy pres -

entation and ice cream. We may have even recruited some new curl - ers as the Souris Boy Scouts took a break from serving lunch to try their hand at the Rocks and Rings. The Boy Scouts reported having a very successful lunch serving over 100 people on Wednesday.

The Souris & District Health Foundation also saw over 100 folks turn out for the lunch they held on Thursday. The School rugby teams helped us out by clean - ing up at the two ban - quets and setting up for the dance. Over 775 people were served deli -

cious roast pork and roast beef suppers on Thursday and Friday evenings. The Souris Skatepark Committee provided hot dogs at both of the dances Thursday and Saturday and were pleased with the results, getting closer and closer to their goal.

Curling finals were Sunday evening and another Survivor wound up for the year. None of this would have been possible without over 140 sponsors and the many volunteers- both curlers and non-curlers who put in countless hours to make it the suc - cess it is.

Still surviving after seventeen years

by Marvin Mills The USDA released

two key reports on March 31. This first is the Prospective Plantings report, which is the first farmer sur - vey-based report of the year. The survey is done across 84,000 farms during the first two weeks of March. The second is the Quarterly Grain Stocks report, which the industry uses

to gauge consumption and ultimately recali - brate anticipated ending stocks for the crop year.

Overall the report was mixed with a some - what bearish lean. Soybean seeded area came in at 84.6 million acres, above last year’s 83.7 million, and a new record high. But this was below the average pre-report estimate of 85.9 million, with the

range stemming from 83.1 million on the low side and 88 million on the high end. Soybean stocks registered at 1.334 billion bushels, just below the consen - sus.

The corn numbers were negative with plantings pegged at 89.32 million, 2% lower than last year, but above the pre-report expec - tations of 88.73�million

acres. If realized, this would be the lowest planted area in the US since 2010. Grain stocks also exceeded the aver - age guess of 7.609 bil - lion bushels, with the USDA calculating 7.745 billion bushels of avail - able supplies. These fac - tors together gave corn a decidedly bearish tone.

The USDA put all wheat seeded area at 55.4 million acres, down 3% from last year’s 56.822 million acres. There was a very mod - est upward revision to the winter wheat seeded area from their previous guess to 40.8 million acres. This is still below last year’s 42.4 million acres. Spring wheat area is roughly unchanged from last year at at 13.0

million acres, but below the average pre-report guess. Durum acres are unsurprisingly higher, up 200,000 to 1.6 mil - lion. However, this is below the 1.759 million acres that had been expected. Total old crop wheat stocks came in slightly below estimates at 1.14 billion bushels. The numbers weren’t specifically bearish for wheat, but the market was dragged lower by the negative corn sen - timent.

In the more minor crops, the oats area is higher at 2.93 million compared to 2.72 mil - lion in 2014. Barley acres are forecast to be 3.26 million vs. just below 3 million last year. Canola acres are set to be down a bit to

1.55 million, while flax is up nearly 30% to 401,000. Sunflower acres are forecast to be higher at 1.786 million, with all of the increase coming in oils, while confectionary types will be down a bit. Dry bean acres are essentially unchanged, while lentil and pea acres are higher.

Markets typically react sharply in the immediate aftermath of the news, but will soon settle down and shift the focus to actual seeding progress and weather patterns. In the case of the acreage estimates, even a modest swing in yields quickly offsets any difference in seeded area compared to initial estimates. There will be another seeded area sur - vey released on June 30.

FarmLink Marketing: No major surprises in seeding intentions or grain stocks

by Vern May CWE Wrestling

returns to Souris on Thursday, April 23, but they will do so without their champion.� However, the circum - stances that have ren - dered the reviled “Zombie Princess” Jimmy Jacobs unable to appear have both imme - diate and long term implications for the CWE talent roster.

It was announced in recent weeks that the 31 year old grappler from Grand Rapids, Michigan had been signed to a contract by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), the goal of most young wrestlers.� As a result, Jacobs was forced to excuse himself from his commitments on the independent circuit.� So the immediate con - sequence of his sudden departure is the announcement that the CWE Heavyweight championship has been vacated.� Over the four nights of the April tour, it is anticipated that a tournament will be con - ducted to crown a new king of the mountain.

�However, the inter - esting twist in the Jacobs story is not just his ascent to the WWE, but instead the role that he

has been hired to per - form.� Jacobs has for - mally been hired as a writer on the WWE’s creative team, an admin - istrative role which could reap rewards for his former travel mates.

Consider the credo: “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”� With this in mind, could this development open doors for some of the current road warriors like Danny Duggan (a Souris favorite) or Tyler Colton to appear for the WWE in the future?� It’s certainly a possibility that has many of the wrestlers traversing the prairie provinces taking notice.

The number of wres - tlers appearing for the CWE at present who are making news for their successes internationally is astounding.� Danny Duggan himself has maintained a schedule with regular appearances in Canada and the U.S. from coast to coast, Jason Kincaid recently won a major tournament in the northeastern United States, Chase Owens has logged mul - tiple trips to Japan as of late, Mentallo missed Canadian dates in 2014 with a call up to the WWE camp in Orlando.�

It’s an exciting time to be a fan of the sport – and the chances are great that the local cards will see one of the final appearances of a rising star before they get their big break and we can say “we knew them when ...”

Such was the case with WWE Hall of Famer ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper who wrestled in Souris in the summer of 1975, two years into the sport.� Piper’s career took off in the United States only a few weeks later and ten years later, we saw him headlining the first WrestleMania against Hulk Hogan.� Not bad for a juvenile delinquent from Saskatoon, huh?

Advance tickets for the show are available at Plaza Petals and Timeless Treasures.� The CWE’s continued suc - cess in Souris would not be possible without the strong support of the local sponsors and the patrons that fill the ringside seats.

don’t feel the senate scan - dal involving Mike Duffy and other high-profile party members will hurt the Harper government’s bid for reelection this year.

“I look at it that we’ll be back in government,” says Colleen Robbins, President of the Brandon-Souris Conservative Association, “But you always have to run the race like you’re behind.”

Robbins made the com - ment while taking part in this week’s coffee meeting in Souris with Brandon- Souris Member of Parliament (MP) Larry Maguire and Ontario Tory MP Peter Kent, a former foreign correspondent and CBC news anchor. The open house drew about a dozen residents and discus - sions ranged from water conservation to the war in Syria, to the next election.

“The campaign is on,” says Kent, who represents a Toronto-area riding but came to Manitoba this week as part of his duties as Chair of the House Standing Committee on National Defense.

“From what people here are telling me, the Duffy case won’t be an election issue,” said Kent.

On Tuesday, Duffy started his defense against

31 charges including fraud and breach of trust. The for - mer TV reporter was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2008, and charged by RCMP in 2014 over irregularities in his government living and travel expenses, and a con - troversial $90,000 payment from Harper’s former chief of staff.

“Canadians will see the results through the court trial,” says Maguire, down - playing any potential dam - age the Duffy trial may have on the Conservatives’ reelection bid. “I was first elected right in the middle of it,” he points out, refer - ring to his tight-fought 2013 by-election victory over Liberal Rolf Dinsdale just one month after Conservative senators Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau were sus - pended without pay follow - ing an audit of expense claims.

If not senate expenses, a new opinion poll indicates precisely what Canadians are worried about. EKOS Research Associates found that 57% of Canadians feel the Government of Canada is moving in the wrong direction on civil liberties and privacy, as seen in a public backlash against the proposed anti-terror Bill C- 51, and in handling the

economy, with 67% of respondents feeling the country is in a recession or depression.

“The economy is the number one priority,” said Kent, first elected in 2008 and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (Americas) and Minister of the Environment before being shuffled out of cabinet in 2013. “There’s the chal - lenge of low oil prices but there’s also good news for manufacturing exports because of the low Canadian dollar.”

Maguire agrees, sug - gesting he is seeing much optimism in Brandon- Souris. “Exports of grain, livestock and oil is what this region depends on,” he says, “and I’ve been talking to a lot of local producers who are very hopeful.”

The EKOS survey did have encouraging news for the Conservatives. Even though most Canadians don’t like what Harper is offering, pollsters predict his party is positioned to regain a majority govern - ment courtesy of the vote splitting which held the Liberals and NDP at bay in 2011.

Both Maguire and Kent will be seeking reelection, although more than 20 Conservative caucus col - leagues are not. In Manitoba, MPs Joy Smith,

Rod Bruinooge and cabinet minister Shelly Glover have publicly announced they are pulling the political pin. By-elections were already held in 2013 to replace Vic Toews and Merv Tweed.

“No doubt Shelly will leave a gap,” says Maguire, who refused to speculate on whether he would be in line for a cabi - net posting if Harper returns as prime minister. With more than 15 years in public office at both the provincial and federal lev - els, Maguire would only say, “There’s lots of lead - ership in Manitoba.”

“One of the reasons I am here is to make sure people know about the great job that Larry is doing and how much he’s appreciated in Ottawa,” said Kent as he chatted with residents at Chicken Chef before attending the con - stituency association’s annual general meeting in Brandon.

Kent is the latest in a string of government min - isters who have spent time in Brandon-Souris since Maguire won last fall with a margin of less than 1.5% of the vote. Jason Kenney, Minister of

Multiculturalism; Michelle Rempel, Minister of State Responsible for Western Economic Diversification; and Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State for Finance, are among recent high-profile visitors to the riding.

“Larry has kept us busy,” says Robbins, point - ing out that Maguire has dedicated himself to meet - ing and talking with as many people as possible since his election. “At the Winter Fair in Brandon last week, a gentleman stopped Larry and said ‘are you everywhere?’.”

submitted Larry Maguire,

Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris is encour - aging Westman residents to submit their entries for Canada’s 150th anniver - sary circulation coins.

“As we approach Canada’s 150th birthday, I am encouraging Westman residents, regardless of age, to sub -

mit their ideas and par - ticipate in this exciting opportunity to celebrate Canada’s rich and diverse heritage,” said Maguire. “There are many talented artists who call Westman home and it would be wonderful if a local resi - dent designed one of Canada’s 150th anniver - sary circulation coins.”

The Royal Canadian

Mint is inviting Canadians to design the 5-cent, 10- cent, 25-cent, one-dollar, and two-dollar coins that will circulate in 2017. As part of the contest, Canadian residents are being asked what Canada means to them by entering coin designs in the fol - lowing theme categories until April 30, 2015:

•Our Wonders

(Canada’s beauty, from nature to monuments)

• O u r Character (Values or prin - ciples which define Canadian identity)

• Our Achievements (Discoveries, exploration, or victories

• Our Passions (From culture to sports, to pas - times)

• Canada’s Future (this

category is reserved for Canadians 12-years of age and under for the 25-cent coin).

The finalists in each category will be deter - mined by the Royal Canadian Mint and a panel of notable Canadians. The winning design per category will be selected by Canadians in an online vote which

will take place in September 2015. Each circulation coin denomi - nation will feature one of the winning designs in 2017. There are five grand prizes to be won (one per theme category).

For more information on contest rules and how to enter a design, please visit www.mint.ca/cana - da150

Library Library Library Corner Corner Corner

By Alexis MacLean

This week I have two novels and a non-fiction story for you to consider.

The Evening Chorus, by Helen Humphreys, is set in WWII but is not a war book. Really three stories in

one, it tells of James, an English officer held in a POW camp; Rose, his wife of 6 months; and Enid, his sister. Shot down on his first mission, James finds him - self in a POW camp with empty years ahead - until, that is, he discovers and begins to study a pair of nesting redstarts - a task in which he is unexpectedly

encouraged by the camp Kommandant. Meanwhile, left alone, Rose questions her love for James and, indeed, begins an affair with another man. Into the mix comes Enid, seeking tem - porary refuge with Rose when she is bombed out of her London flat. Personally, I found James the most interesting and well devel -

oped character of the lot, and his story the most poignant. The ending, occurring ten years later, sees a reunion of sorts between James and the Kommandant, and brings the tale to a life affirming close.

The Illuminations, by Andrew O’Hagan, is the story of Anne Quirk, an eld -

erly lady her daughter is try - ing to relocate to a care facility. In her younger years Anne was a noted photographer but none of her family realizes this, nor are they aware of the love affair that changed her life - and theirs. Alternating with Anne’s often fuzzy reflec - tions, is the story of Luke, her grandson. Technically the story of his service in Afghanistan and of the trauma he experienced there, the excessive use of questionable language in these chapters was a serious drawback for me and most of the interactions between Luke and his friends seemed pointless. His role in the story seems primarily to take Anne back to the guest house she lived in when young - a role which could have been played more convincingly by Anne’s daughter Alice. But Alice appears as a bitter woman unable to connect at all with her mother. We ulti - mately discover the reason for this at book’s end, but she still comes across as a one dimensional harpy.

Overall, there was the germ of a good story in this book, but, for me at least, it was never fleshed out.

Finally, I want to men - tion H is for Hawk, by Helen Macdonald. A non- fiction book, it is not some - thing I would normally cite in this column as this genre tends not be very popular with most patrons. But this is a good story. At its most basic, this is the story of how one woman trained a goshawk. But interwoven throughout is the tale of the author’s struggle to come to grips with the recent death of her father, as well as a biography of novelist T.H. White - author of The Once and Future King - as years previously he too had tried to train a goshawk. Not wholly successful, I still found much to enjoy in this book. Hours: Closed Sunday and Monday; Tuesday, 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.; Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Highlighted calls for service in Souris RCMP area were as follows:

• A call was made to Police regarding a sus - picious elderly male pok -

ing around in people’s belongings in their drive - ways. Police patrolled but could not locate the subject of complaint. The complainant was notified of Police action by voicemail.

• RCMP stopped a vehicle travelling at a low rate of speed on Highway 2 in the Municipality of

Souris-Glenwood to check for sobriety. Driver had an odour of liquor, red/watery eyes, but refused to give a sincere attempt at an ASD sam - ple. Charges were laid.

• Souris RCMP has laid charges regarding a disturbance call at a home in Souris. An adult male was charged with assault

and released on an under - taking and a promise to appear in court.

• A report of a large quantity of beer being sto - len was received after this weekend’s bonspiel. This is currently under inves - tigation.

Are you informed about Canada’s emergency alert system?

You can rest assured that in the occasion of a potentially life-threat - ening event, a new emer - gency alert system is in place to keep you informed with the latest information. Called Alert Ready, the system is oper - ated by The Weather Network and developed in partnership with federal, provincial and territorial emergency management officials, plus Environment Canada and the broadcast industry. It disseminates public awareness messages to television and radio audi - ences, keeping them aware of, and prepared for, emergencies.

On both television and radio, Alert Ready is designed to immediately notify you of pending trouble to give you enough time to protect yourself, your family and property.

Broadcasted alerts range from more common situations to less frequent, but equally as dangerous emergencies. Here are some examples of the types of warnings broad - cast through the system:

• Natural disasters such as severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, earthquakes, flash floods, tornados, etc.

• Environmental emer - gencies such as air quality issues

• Hazardous material emergencies caused by explosives or falling objects

• Fires, including eve - rything from forest fires to urban and industrial fires

More information is available online at AlertReady.ca.
