Well Old Man<br />

<strong>Winter</strong> doesn’t seem to<br />

be letting up any time<br />

soon, especially with the<br />

snow and wind we’ve<br />

been receiving. If this<br />

continues we will be well<br />

buried by the time spring<br />

arrives. It was nice to<br />

see the sunshine today<br />

though and warmer<br />

temps are on the way,<br />

so maybe some of the<br />

new snow piling up will<br />

melt somewhat before<br />

the next dump. The deer<br />

are having quite a time<br />

looking for food and<br />

almost getting stuck in<br />

the deep snow even in<br />

the yards. About 20 were<br />

spotted just at the edge of<br />

town on Sunday.<br />

I guess Manitoba<br />

Merv was right, winter is<br />

Riverside Rosenort News<br />

by Lorraine Loewen<br />

The month of<br />

February is special<br />

in many ways!! The<br />

Groundhog Day was<br />

observed with a sunny<br />

day giving us at least<br />

another 6 weeks of<br />

winter! Valentines day<br />

comes on the 14 th with<br />

many meals and of<br />

course lots of candy and<br />

flowers.<br />

On Saturday, the<br />

Multi Plex was well<br />

filled for the hockey<br />

games that took place<br />

with funds raised for<br />

Cancer care, the results<br />

coming in at more than<br />

20,000 dollars! Word<br />

has it that Pat Schmitke<br />

of BigWay was one of<br />

the candidates who had<br />

their heads shaved!!!<br />

It is an exciting time<br />

to be celebrating the<br />

Sapphire jubilee of<br />

the Queen’s 65 th year<br />

as our longest reigning<br />

monarch. On Monday<br />

Feb 6 th new portraits<br />

will be made available.<br />

How amazing to see her<br />

youthful appearance<br />

and agility!<br />

not going away quickly!<br />

With the beginning of<br />

February, “I Love to Read<br />

Month” has officially<br />

begun at RVS! This year,<br />

their theme is Dr. Seuss<br />

and the school’s literacy<br />

committee has planned<br />

some exciting events.<br />

Each Friday, there will<br />

be two events: Dress up<br />

Fridays and Mystery Box<br />

Draws! Students got to<br />

wear their favourite hat<br />

on February 3 rd , and a<br />

mustache on February<br />

10 th. They can wear<br />

pajamas on February<br />

17 th and their craziest<br />

socks on February 24 th .<br />

The students who can<br />

make the correct guess<br />

on a book quote and are<br />

chosen from the Mystery<br />

Box get to win a prize!<br />

Jacob and Diana<br />

Waldner are excited to<br />

announce the birth of<br />

their first born, Isabella<br />

Rose, on January<br />

30 th . Best wishes to<br />

grandparents Deanna<br />

and Ben Waldner.<br />

Many from our area<br />

attended the Mission<br />

Fest in Wpg. over the<br />

week end held at the<br />

Church of the Rock. It<br />

was interesting to see so<br />

many displays featuring<br />

work in Wpg. as well as<br />

surrounding districts.<br />

Seven guest speakers<br />

were invited to speak<br />

at the main sessions<br />

throughout the weekend.<br />

Get well wishes go<br />

out to Rebekah Friesen<br />

(Trevor) who had surgery<br />

on Thursday. Also, better<br />

health is wished for<br />

Florence Friesen (Jake)<br />

as well as Judy Schmidt<br />

(Dave).<br />

Once again, we are<br />

digging out of more<br />

snow!! It looks like this<br />

time we are not the only<br />

ones! Lorne’s sister Doris<br />

and Jake Kornelsen of<br />

Throughout the<br />

month, they will be<br />

having a few guests. On<br />

February 13 th , they will<br />

be hosting the Winkler<br />

Flyers. On February 16 th ,<br />

story teller Leigh-Anne<br />

Kehler will be joining<br />

RVS. During that same<br />

week, Roseau Valley<br />

School Library will be<br />

having a book swap.<br />

Any student can bring<br />

in unwanted books to<br />

receive a book token.<br />

At the end of the week,<br />

the book tokens can be<br />

cashed in for other books<br />

students have brought<br />

to swap! From February<br />

21 st to the 24 th it will be<br />

“Drop Everything and<br />

Read Week”, and it can<br />

happen anytime! Finally,<br />

the month comes to a<br />

close on Friday, February<br />

24 th as they celebrate<br />

all of their reading<br />

Abbotsford BC sent some<br />

outstanding pictures<br />

of the snow they have<br />

had in the last while.<br />

People were walking on<br />

snowshoes in places they<br />

could not drive, I am sure<br />

it will be sometime before<br />

everything is plowed.<br />

But then, of course, they<br />

have nicer temperatures<br />

to melt some of that.<br />

It was interesting to<br />

see Norman and Ardis<br />

Friesen come back from<br />

sunny Hawaii to the<br />

snow!!<br />

George and Jackie<br />

Thiessen returned from<br />

a wonderful vacation to<br />

Puerta Vallarta, enjoying<br />

the nice weather. While<br />

there they met Leroy<br />

and Lois Friesen and<br />

Ervin and Erica Friesen<br />

of Rosenort as well as<br />

Margaret Klassen of<br />

Riverside. Margaret also<br />

enjoyed a visit with her<br />

son Rick and family.<br />

The bridge over the<br />

Morris river on Road 2E,<br />

Riverside south, will be<br />

closed for approximately<br />

2 months beginning on<br />

February 7th. Hopefully<br />

this can all be fixed<br />

before we begin to look<br />

for signs of a 2017 flood<br />

accomplishments and<br />

also Dr. Seuss’ upcoming<br />

birthday! This month,<br />

the students are focusing<br />

on goal oriented reading,<br />

with a tally at the end of<br />

each week on a bulletin<br />

board. “The more that<br />

you read, the more things<br />

you will know. The more<br />

that you learn, the more<br />

places you’ll go!” –by<br />

Dr. Seuss is a quote they<br />

aspire to!<br />

It is with heavy<br />

hearts that we heard<br />

of the passing of<br />

Larry Carpenter Jr. on<br />

Monday. He had fought<br />

so valiantly against his<br />

battle with cancer and<br />

is finally at peace. Our<br />

whole community share<br />

in the sorrow that his<br />

family and friends feel<br />

at the loss of this very<br />

caring, fun-loving young<br />

man. Our hearts go out to<br />

his sisters, Cindy, Holly<br />

and Candace.<br />

Stick curling<br />

continues every Friday.<br />

The canteen features<br />

weekly meal specials on<br />

Friday at great prices and<br />

Fundraiser for Dick<br />

and Michella (Nickel)<br />

Schroeder. This is my<br />

neighbour.<br />

The family is hosting a<br />

large fundraising event at<br />

the Grunthal Abundant<br />

Life Fellowship on<br />

Saturday February 11 th<br />

at 5:00 pm with supper<br />

starting at 5 pm. There<br />

will also be a silent<br />

auction, dessert auction,<br />

and possibly a live<br />

auction.<br />

Michella has always<br />

been a very active and<br />

energetic person. In<br />

June of 2012 she woke<br />

up and was unable<br />

to get out of bed by<br />

herself. With a great<br />

deal of determination<br />

and miracle from above,<br />

she has learned to walk<br />

and function in her<br />

condition for the past<br />

four and a half years with<br />

constant intense pain.<br />

Despite many specialist<br />

appointments her<br />

condition has remained<br />

undiagnosed until now.<br />

In August of 2016,<br />

Michella went to<br />

see an international<br />

spinal surgeon, Dr.<br />

Feingenbaum, and it<br />

was finally confirmed<br />

that she has three<br />

spinal sacral meningeal<br />

cysts in her spinal<br />

column and tailbone<br />

which are cutting off<br />

nerve circulation and<br />

causing much pain,<br />

reduced movement,<br />

and numbness. He<br />

positively diagnosed<br />

that this has been the<br />

cause of the symptoms<br />

all along. The door has<br />

swung wide open for<br />

opportunity to get help.<br />

Surgery is planned for<br />

February 20-21 and will<br />

be performed in Cypress,<br />

Mediterranean.<br />

The surgery will cost<br />

THE SOUTHEAST JOURNAL February 9, 2017 Pg. 4<br />

Funding Foreign Abortions<br />

Prime Minister<br />

Trudeau has long been<br />

a vocal proponent<br />

of abortion. Many<br />

Canadians remember<br />

his ultimatum in May<br />

of 2014 that anyone<br />

who thought differently<br />

than him on this subject<br />

need not apply to run as<br />

Liberal candidates in the<br />

federal election. Though<br />

historically the Liberal<br />

Party allowed a greater<br />

range of opinions,<br />

under Justin Trudeau<br />

some sitting Liberal<br />

MPs suddenly had the<br />

welcome mat pulled<br />

from beneath their feet.<br />

Last May, as<br />

thousands of Canadian<br />

women and men<br />

gathered on Parliament<br />

Hill to call for the<br />

human rights of the<br />

unborn to be respected<br />

– one of the largest<br />

rallies each year – the<br />

Prime Minister quietly<br />

lifted the restriction<br />

that prevented federal<br />

foreign aid dollars from<br />

being used for abortion<br />

services overseas.<br />

Then just recently, in<br />

a reactionary response<br />

to a change in American<br />

policy, Prime Minister<br />

Trudeau decided to<br />

further increase Canada’s<br />

already soaring foreign<br />

aid budget to fund more<br />

abortions overseas. The<br />

Minister of International<br />

Development, Marie-<br />

Claude Bibeau,<br />

announced that Canada<br />

would join an effort<br />

to make up the six<br />

hundred million dollar<br />

loss resulting from the<br />

American decision and<br />

establish a dedicated<br />

fund for abortions<br />

abroad. Missing in her<br />

announcement was an<br />

explanation of where<br />

she would decrease aid<br />

funding in order to pay for<br />

this new commitment.<br />

In 2015, Canada spent<br />

$5.8 billion taxpayer<br />

dollars on foreign<br />

aid. Canadians are<br />

undeniably generous,<br />

and foreign aid can be<br />

an effective way to help<br />

struggling developing<br />

countries, yet as more<br />

and more of our tax<br />

dollars leave the country<br />

while Canadian families<br />

struggle to put food<br />

on the table and heat<br />

their homes, we need<br />

to ask whether paying<br />

for abortions overseas is<br />

really the best use of our<br />

tax dollars.<br />

Despite all the new<br />

taxes he’s forcing on<br />

Canadians as he sinks<br />

the country into debt, the<br />

Prime Minister seems to<br />

think so.<br />

Letters to the Editor<br />

OH, PREMIER<br />

PALLISTER, YOU<br />

FAILED -<br />

I thought that the<br />

title might attract the<br />

senses of a former school<br />

teacher, although the<br />

subject is far from school.<br />

Mr. Milne lives in<br />

Sprague, MANITOBA.<br />

That means that Mr.<br />

Milne is entitled the<br />

same health care that<br />

you and I and everyone<br />

who lives in Manitoba<br />

benefits from. However,<br />

Geography plays a role<br />

in Mr. Milne s situation.<br />

He has to go to Roseau,<br />

Minnesota, for health<br />

care.<br />

Living on the border<br />

between Canada and<br />

the United States is not<br />

normally a big deal, or<br />

particularly stressful.<br />

Please see the article<br />

on the back page about<br />

Saturday’s Immigration<br />

issue. This is the kind<br />

of thing that wouldn’t<br />

happen anywhere but in<br />

a border town.<br />

Robin Milne of<br />

Sprague also lives on the<br />

border, but it has caused<br />

a different problem for<br />

him. He had a heart<br />

attack and went to the<br />

nearest emergency clinic<br />

in Roseau Minnesota.<br />

There is an agreement<br />

between Manitoba and<br />

Minnesota to allow<br />

treatment in Warroad or<br />

Roseau for residents of<br />

Southeastern Manitoba.<br />

The Altru Agreement<br />

provides that in serious<br />

cases, a life flight should<br />

return the patient to<br />

Manitoba. In Milne’s<br />

case, the flight was<br />

ordered and he was to<br />

return to St Boniface<br />

Hospital in Winnipeg.<br />

After 90 minutes and no<br />

Unfortunately, Mr.<br />

Milne, had a heart<br />

attack. You’ve heard<br />

the message. Did you<br />

really understand the<br />

implications?<br />

Normally, he would<br />

be taken to St. Boniface<br />

Hospital. And when<br />

he came to Emergency<br />

in Roseau, the Doctor<br />

serving there tried for<br />

over an hour to get a<br />

response from St.<br />

Boniface Hospital,<br />

arranging for his transfer<br />

there for emergency<br />

surgery. There was no<br />

response.<br />

So she transferred<br />

him to Grand Forks,<br />

Inside the Dike<br />

On the Border<br />

by Don Piett<br />

firm time of arrival for the<br />

flight, the doctor advised<br />

going to Grand Forks<br />

in North Dakota. With<br />

vital minutes ticking by,<br />

Milne agreed, and was<br />

treated flown to Grand<br />

Forks and treated there.<br />

The bill for this service<br />

was $118,000. Milne<br />

has applied to get the<br />

Provincial Government<br />

to pay, but they insist<br />

their agreement is only<br />

with Minnesota and<br />

since Milne agreed to go<br />

to Grand Forks, it is his<br />

responsibility.<br />

The Altru agreement<br />

has been in place for<br />

many years and the<br />

Minister of Health<br />

suggests it should<br />

be updated. I would<br />

presume that it was put<br />

in place as a lower cost<br />

alternative to providing<br />

medical facilities<br />

for the relatively few<br />

Manitobans who live in<br />

the area. Sprague is 108<br />

km south of Steinbach,<br />

where there is a good<br />

hospital and 75 km east of<br />

Vita. Both communities<br />

have ambulance service,<br />

North Dakota, her only<br />

other alternative, where<br />

surgery was performed<br />

and his life was saved.<br />

She was the hero in this<br />

story.<br />

Then the bills arrived .<br />

W h e n y o u r<br />

government was first<br />

elected, many of us<br />

breathed a sigh of relief.<br />

You even promised<br />

Health Care Reform.<br />

Then came a surprise<br />

test. You and your<br />

government failed.<br />

You refused to pay for<br />

a procedure which<br />

should have happened<br />

in Manitoba.<br />

But since it couldn’t<br />

be, it doesn’t let you off<br />

the hook.<br />

2 ambulances in Vita<br />

and 3 in Steinbach, but<br />

neither is close enough<br />

to provide service to<br />

Sprague in less than 30<br />

minutes.<br />

There is a health<br />

clinic in Sprague, but<br />

service is limited. If the<br />

government in Manitoba<br />

cannot provide the<br />

medical facilities<br />

required for its residents<br />

in this area, they should<br />

pay up on the cost of<br />

having our residents go<br />

to the United States for<br />

medical service.<br />

The Health Minister,<br />

Honourable Kevin<br />

Goertzen, who is MLA for<br />

Steinbach, has suggested<br />

the residents of the area<br />

should get private health<br />

insurance to cover them<br />

if they have to be treated<br />

in the United States. I<br />

would suggest that if this<br />

When someone fails a<br />

test, sometimes teachers<br />

allow a rewrite. I think<br />

Manitobans are open<br />

to that. But you better<br />

get it right this time. Pay<br />

up, Mr. Pallister, and reestablish<br />

the credibility<br />

of your government.<br />

This is not a political<br />

issue. This is a moral and<br />

ethical issue. This is a<br />

time to show compassion<br />

to one of our own. And I<br />

want to remind you that<br />

four years pass quickly,<br />

but people s memories<br />

linger much longer.<br />

Sincerely yours,<br />

(Rev.) Bob Stark,<br />

Dominion City,<br />

Manitoba<br />

is the provinces answer<br />

to living on the border,<br />

the government should<br />

pay for the insurance.<br />

Mr. Milne and<br />

other residents of<br />

Southeastern Manitoba<br />

are citizens of the same<br />

province as the rest of us<br />

and should not have to<br />

take out private medical<br />

insurance to be able to<br />

live in their homes. If<br />

they choose to cross<br />

the border for business<br />

or pleasure, they need<br />

travel insurance, just like<br />

the rest of us, but they<br />

shouldn’t have to get it<br />

for their day to day lives<br />

in Manitoba.<br />

Come on Manitoba,<br />

either provide full care<br />

for people in this area, or<br />

pay the bill to have them<br />

go across the border. You<br />

shouldn’t be able to have<br />

it both ways.<br />

“To the Point”<br />

By Jeremy Bradley<br />

I’m not the sell-out<br />

It is interesting to see<br />

how many Canadians<br />

get riled up for American<br />

sports. Last weekend was<br />

the Super Bowl, arguably<br />

the largest sporting event<br />

in the U.S.<br />

This was also the<br />

first time Canadians<br />

were able to watch the<br />

American commercials<br />

during Super Bowl. It<br />

seems like more people<br />

watch the game for the<br />

commercials than the<br />

actual football.<br />

In the past, Canadian<br />

TV networks (usually<br />

CTV and TSN broadcast<br />

the game) have been<br />

able to substitute the<br />

American feed with<br />

their own Canadian<br />

ads and promos. This<br />

has outraged viewers<br />

because of the popularity<br />

Super Bowl commercials<br />

have nowadays. The<br />

CRTC changed the rules<br />

and Canadians watching<br />

Fox saw all American<br />

content. We’re finally<br />

free!<br />

At one point in the<br />

evening I tweeted that<br />

Canadians should tune<br />

into Fox and not the<br />

Canuck channels so<br />

they could see the ads.<br />

A few patriots (Canada<br />

lovers, not the actual<br />

team) harpooned me<br />

suggesting I was anti-<br />

Canadian because I<br />

was using my platform<br />

to promote American<br />

content.<br />

That’s where I had<br />

a bit of a laugh. Do you<br />

know how many millions<br />

of dollars a Canadian TV<br />

network has to pay for<br />

the rights to air American<br />

sporting events – namely<br />

Super Bowl?<br />

Isn’t the argument<br />

also being made by these<br />

major TV networks that<br />

they need government<br />

funding because<br />

advertising dollars a<br />

drying up?<br />

Why aren’t the<br />

Canadian networks<br />

airing more stuff from,<br />

say, our country? It<br />

seems a bit greedy for<br />

them to spend millions<br />

on the rights to major<br />

American programming<br />

yet whine to the<br />

Canadian government<br />

they need more money.<br />

You might not believe<br />

this, but homegrown<br />

content is much cheaper<br />

than importing from the<br />

U.S.<br />

People often say<br />

Canadian production<br />

isn’t as high quality as<br />

American but there have<br />

been plenty of Canadianproduced<br />

shows that<br />

become a hit south of the<br />

border.<br />

American networks<br />

broadcast American<br />

content just fine.<br />

Canadian ones should<br />

get into that habit<br />

if they are so proudly<br />

representing the country<br />

and its people.<br />

That’s my point.<br />

Rinn's Ramblings<br />

by Weldon Rinn<br />

So, Super Bowl L1<br />

has come and gone and<br />

I would rank that as one<br />

of the best sports games,<br />

not just football, but<br />

ANY games, I have ever<br />

watched. And I don’t<br />

cheer for either team…I<br />

could easily take or leave<br />

a win by The Falcons or<br />

Pats and not lose one iota<br />

of sleep…with perhaps<br />

the stupidest overtime<br />

rules I have ever heard<br />

in play still nothing<br />

could diminish the<br />

hugely (“yuugely” if you<br />

are President Trump)<br />

entertaining and exciting<br />

game.<br />

It was quite cool to see<br />

Tom Brady become the<br />

most successful Super<br />

Bowl quarterback in<br />

history, not to mention<br />

Bill Belichick become<br />

the winning-est coach<br />

ever in the Super Bowl.<br />

First ever overtime game<br />

in Super Bowl history,<br />

man, one for the ages…<br />

Half time, again<br />

IMHO, was also one<br />

for the ages, Lady Gaga<br />

continues to set the bar<br />

higher and higher for<br />

herself as an entertainer<br />

and continues to hit<br />

it out of the park…<br />

she delivered a very<br />

high-tempo, upbeat,<br />

entertaining show<br />

of continuous action,<br />

dance, costume changes<br />

and fluidity…Great job!<br />

And what do we get to<br />

deal with the day after…<br />

trolls and other idiots on<br />

the Internet and in social<br />

media body-shaming<br />

her and making fun of<br />

her “belly”…Jesus Wept…<br />

we all know, or can rest<br />

assured that most of the<br />

people typing this quips<br />

and insults hide behind<br />

their keyboards, basking<br />

in the anonymity the<br />

Internet affords them,<br />

and bash away at anyone<br />

they want, safe, sound,<br />

and out of sight! Not<br />

likely to be pried out<br />

into the open and hence<br />

brave beyond all belief in<br />

that they are free to spew<br />

their garbage and insults.<br />

I wonder how many<br />

of them are of perfect<br />

6, 8 or 12 pack abs…<br />

buff without compare<br />

and totally fit!?! All I<br />

can say is “Shame on<br />

you…” you sit back and<br />

judge someone who<br />

has done nothing other<br />

than promote her music<br />

and enjoy entertaining<br />

others, indulge in a<br />

bit of necessary selfpromotion<br />

and keep<br />

millions of people<br />

happily tapping and<br />

dabbing along to her<br />

music. The ultimate<br />

entertainer…doing<br />

what she does best…<br />

entertaining her fans!<br />

Notice not the<br />

amazing show put on by<br />

her and her entourage,<br />

no, negative pinheads<br />

who chose to bash her<br />

and her appearance<br />

instead, the new age of<br />

brave self-appointed<br />

critics, half of whom are<br />

likely living in a close<br />

relative’s basement<br />

and not even paying<br />

for their own Internet<br />

connections, let alone<br />

rent.<br />

The world is much too<br />

full of needling, backstabbing,<br />

barb-tossing<br />

anonymous fools as it<br />

is, the rest of the world,<br />

not just the Lady Gagas<br />

but those who venture<br />

forth to do their little<br />

part every day to keep<br />

things going have to<br />

sit by and tolerate the<br />

verbal diarrhoea that<br />

vomits forth from their<br />

fingertips in an ongoing<br />

and endless stream.<br />

Our world finds new<br />

and fascinating ways,<br />

almost daily, to sink to<br />

unfathomable depths<br />

of intolerance and<br />

ignorance and never<br />

ceases to astound me,<br />

even after all these years<br />

of being exposed to the<br />

lunacy that abounds<br />

out there, not just on<br />

the Internet but those<br />

few brave souls who<br />

actually will step forward<br />

and openly profess, by<br />

their words and deeds,<br />

their lack of tolerance,<br />

understanding and just<br />

plain common decency<br />

and sense. Instant Idiot<br />

– just open mouth and<br />

all doubt is removed…I<br />

gotta ramble on now..<br />

Elks National Mascot 'Charlie' presents cheque to <strong>Emerson</strong> School<br />

Advisory Council for their playground project<br />

The Altona Elks Lodge<br />

#447 has just completed<br />

a large project, an indoor<br />

play structure in the<br />

Millennium Pioneer<br />

Centre in Altona. The<br />

Elks lodge in <strong>Emerson</strong><br />

donated $500 to that<br />

project to help out their<br />

brothers and sisters in<br />

Altona.<br />

With the successful<br />

completion of that<br />

project, the Elks in<br />

Altona decided to return<br />

the favour and donated<br />

$500 to the playground<br />

project in <strong>Emerson</strong>.<br />

'Charlie' is the<br />

national mascot for<br />

the Elks of Canada, the<br />

parent organization of<br />

both lodges. Charlie<br />

is named after Charles<br />

Redeker, founder of the<br />

Order of Elks of Canada.<br />

He was in the area after<br />

an appearance at the<br />

Playland opening in<br />

Altona, so we invited him<br />

to the <strong>Emerson</strong> <strong>Winter</strong><br />

<strong>Carnival</strong>. Charlie had a<br />

good time in <strong>Emerson</strong>,<br />

visiting with local<br />

children Friday night at<br />

the arena and dropping<br />

the puck for the <strong>Emerson</strong><br />

A's hockey game.<br />

As some of you may<br />

have noticed, Charlie<br />

wears two cochlear<br />

implants, one for each<br />

ear as he was born deaf.<br />

This is a reminder of the<br />

primary interest the Elks<br />

of Canada have had for<br />

the hearing impaired,<br />

especially children. The<br />

Elks have their own<br />

charity, The Elks and<br />

Royal Purple Fund for<br />

Children, and early<br />

deaf detection is one of<br />

the main thrusts of the<br />

charity.<br />

As well as providing<br />

assistance to children<br />

under 18, the fund<br />

also supports clinical<br />

programs relating to<br />

hearing impairment<br />

and speech pathology.<br />

In Manitoba the Fund<br />

for Children and<br />

the Manitoba Elks<br />

Foundation support<br />

the Central Speech<br />

and Hearing Clinic in<br />

Winnipeg. The clinic is a<br />

non-profit organization<br />

that works with the<br />

hearing impaired and<br />

provides help to those<br />

affected and their<br />

families.<br />

The Elks of Canada<br />

operate through<br />

local lodges in many<br />

communities across the<br />

country. The order began<br />

in Vancouver and is most<br />

prevalent across western<br />

Canada, but has lodges<br />

across the country. It is<br />

in the local lodges that<br />

the community work is<br />

done. The lodges raise<br />

money and then support<br />

worthwhile projects in<br />

their communities.<br />

In <strong>Emerson</strong>, the Elks<br />

have made donations<br />

to many community<br />

projects like the school<br />

playground, Canada<br />

Day, the <strong>Emerson</strong><br />

Community Complex,<br />

and the <strong>Winter</strong> <strong>Carnival</strong>.<br />

DC Warriors Win in Vita<br />

Dominion City Warriors Senior Hockey Team won the Jarvis Picklyk<br />

Memorial Hockey Tournament in Vita. The team was undeafeated in the<br />

tournament<br />

Twister Report<br />

by Don Piett<br />

The Twisters broke<br />

out of their slump (losses<br />

in their last three games)<br />

but it wasn’t easy. They<br />

faced the Raiders Jr<br />

Hockey Club on Saturday<br />

in Morris. The Raiders<br />

started the show with a<br />

goal by Nikolas Lyman.<br />

Corey Mazinke replied<br />

for the Twisters. Both<br />

first period goals were<br />

scored on power plays.<br />

In the second, the<br />

Raiders Carson Rybuck<br />

struck first, but Fraser<br />

Mirrlees answered for<br />

the home team less<br />

than a minute later.<br />

Thus ended the second<br />

period, score tied 2 all.<br />

In the third period, it<br />

was the Twisters turn<br />

to move ahead with a<br />

Fraser Mirrlees second<br />

for the night. It was<br />

answered right away<br />

by Devin Manness of<br />

the Raiders. Dawson<br />

Anderson popped one<br />

in at the 11:45 mark<br />

and the Raiders moved<br />

ahead again. Not to be<br />

left behind, the Twisters<br />

Brendan Keck tied the<br />

game with 3 minutes,<br />

twenty seconds left.<br />

There the score stayed<br />

until the end of regulation<br />

time. In overtime, Corey<br />

Mazinke scored his<br />

second goal of the night,<br />

putting the game away<br />

for the Twisters.<br />

Matt Kohlman in the<br />

net for the Twisters had<br />

a busy day, facing 56<br />

shots on goal from the<br />

Raiders, turning away all<br />

but 4. The Twisters had<br />

26 shots on goal against<br />

Trent Sargent.<br />

The Twisters are in<br />

third place in the league<br />

with 46 points. First<br />

and Second place go to<br />

the Stonewall Jets and<br />

Charleswood Hawks,<br />

both with 51 points. St.<br />

James is only 2 points<br />

behind the Twisters.<br />

Top honours in the<br />

scoring race still belong<br />

to Riley Beauchemin<br />

of the St. Vital Victorias<br />

with 33 goals and 36<br />

assists for 69 points.<br />

It Occurs to Me<br />

The Ordinary Day<br />

By Joanne Graydon<br />

It was an ordinary<br />

day. I got up at seven,<br />

made coffee, added<br />

nuts and berries to my<br />

yogurt and checked<br />

the computer. There is<br />

something comforting<br />

about a routine in the<br />

morning that helps start<br />

the day. I have had the<br />

same ordinary routine for<br />

so long, I could navigate<br />

mornings with my eyes<br />

closed. But life didn’t<br />

allow our ordinary day to<br />

continue after the phone<br />

rang. The surgeon’s office<br />

called with news how the<br />

next few days would be<br />

most unordinary.<br />

“It Occurs to Me”<br />

sometimes life throws a<br />

curve. The long-awaited<br />

surgery was scheduled<br />

for nine o’clock the<br />

next morning. At that<br />

moment, everything<br />

ordinary, changed. Even<br />

though both of us had<br />

been in a hospital before,<br />

anxiety still crept in<br />

leaving us exceptionally<br />

quiet on the ride into<br />

the city. We had booked<br />

a hotel room close to the<br />

hospital but neither of<br />

us slept well. We were<br />

lost in thoughts filled<br />

with fear, panic and a<br />

lack of control. The only<br />

things we were sure of<br />

was the next few days<br />

would feel like stepping<br />

into uncharted territory.<br />

It is normal to be<br />

nervous before surgery<br />

but it is often difficult<br />

to calm down. So many<br />

questions popped in<br />

my head about how I<br />

would be able to help my<br />

partner get through this.<br />

And I imagine he was<br />

thinking how he would<br />

get through this too. But<br />

after a short ride from the<br />

hotel we pulled up to the<br />

gate, pushed the button<br />

and pulled the parking<br />

pass out of the slot.<br />

The hospital sat up on<br />

a hill like an threatening<br />

fortress built long ago.<br />

We fell into step up the<br />

ramp and stood together<br />

at the automatic doors.<br />

Once inside we rolled<br />

the suitcase toward the<br />

elevator while keeping<br />

an eye on the new<br />

environment we would<br />

become familiar with<br />

for the next few days.<br />

There would be nurses<br />

giving instructions,<br />

doctors doing surgery,<br />

intravenous IVs, vital<br />

signs and medications.<br />

And of course, plenty of<br />

time to wait.<br />

The surgery went well<br />

and within four to five<br />

hours my partner was<br />

safely tucked in his bed<br />

in his room. He looked<br />

a little pale and spoke<br />

with a groggy drugged<br />

voice but it was clear by<br />

the medical attention<br />

given, he was in good<br />

hands. I stayed with him<br />

for a few more hours<br />

before heading home<br />

to tend to Sadie, the<br />

Border collie, and warm<br />

up the house by stoking<br />

the woodstove. For the<br />

next few days I traveled<br />

back and forth to the city<br />

to visit and watch the<br />

excellent medical staff<br />

work their magic.<br />

Once my partner was<br />

released we made a stop<br />

at the pharmacy to pick<br />

up prescriptions and then<br />

headed home. Things at<br />

home were ready for the<br />

next phase after surgery.<br />

The hospital bed, walker,<br />

pillows and blankets<br />

were a welcome sight<br />

and my partner carefully<br />

climbed into bed and<br />

closed his eyes.<br />

I think the lead up<br />

to surgery created a lot<br />

of apprehension and<br />

anxiety. But neither of us<br />

were really prepared for<br />

the weeks of recovery at<br />

home that we faced. With<br />

slow and steady progress<br />

my partner tried his best<br />

to do his exercises but long road ahead before<br />

it was clear he was tired my guy can hop on his<br />

and needed to rest more tractor to feed the cattle.<br />

than exercise. At one The next few weeks will<br />

of severe pain and as physiotherapy. If I can<br />

I called Health Links. I and he listens when<br />

tried to stay calm and I remind him to slow<br />

Well the <strong>Emerson</strong><br />

<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>Carnival</strong> has come<br />

and gone and what a great<br />

weekend it was. On behalf<br />

of Red River Recreation I<br />

would like to personally<br />

thank all of our sponsors<br />

and volunteers who<br />

made this year’s carnival<br />

a success. Your support<br />

and commitment to our<br />

community makes these<br />

events possible and helps<br />

to bring our community<br />

together. Thank you!<br />

This year saw<br />

the return of our annual<br />

Cardboard Toboggan<br />

Contest where the entries<br />

and creativity get better<br />

each year! The winner of<br />

the Best Sled Design went<br />

to Ashton Ihme with his<br />

blacked out helicopter.<br />

The winner of the Longest<br />

Distance Travelled went<br />

to Kyanna Froese with her<br />

super slick speed machine.<br />

Thank you again to all those<br />

who participated and we<br />

cannot wait to see what you<br />

can create next year!<br />

New to the festival<br />

this year was the Snow<br />

Sculpture Contest which<br />

saw fifteen different<br />

entries! First place went<br />

to the Breckon’s with their<br />

Snoopy Doghouse, second<br />

place went to the Ihme’s<br />

with their Car, and third<br />

place went to the Froese’s<br />

with their Turtle. We hope<br />

everyone had fun creating<br />

their works of art and<br />

participate again in 2018!<br />

Thank you again to<br />

everyone who was involved<br />

with this past weekend and<br />

to everyone who came out<br />

and took in the events. Red<br />

River Recreation sure had a<br />

blast and we hope everyone<br />

else did too!<br />

the ice, Allan Gitzel<br />

participating in men’s<br />

competition. Allan is<br />

responsible for installing<br />

and maintaining the ice<br />

at the Morris Curling<br />

facility. I wonder if<br />

knowing how to make<br />

good curling ice gives<br />

him an advantage?<br />

I’m not going to make<br />

any quips regarding<br />

curlers. The last time<br />

I commented about<br />

curlers being picky about<br />

their ice, a petition was<br />

almost started to get me<br />

drummed from town.<br />

Did you notice how<br />

the article opened<br />

with curling, moved to<br />

drumming, touched on<br />

curling and then finished<br />

with drummed? The<br />

creative writing club<br />

I have been attending<br />

every month, at the<br />

Morris Library, is sure<br />

paying off. The club<br />

is looking for new<br />

members. For schedule<br />

information contact the<br />

Cheryl did make<br />

an appeal for another<br />

public announcement.<br />

Pickleball is a sporting<br />

activity held every<br />

Thursday’s at the Morris<br />

School’s small gym from<br />

7:00-9:00 pm.<br />

Pickleball is a racquet<br />

sport that combines<br />

elements of badminton,<br />

tennis, and table<br />

tennis. Two, three, or<br />

four players use solid<br />

17022gm8<br />

paddles made of wood or<br />

composite materials to<br />

hit a perforated polymer<br />

ball, similar to a wiffle<br />

ball, over a net.<br />

The activity is open to<br />

individuals 18+ years and<br />

older who are looking<br />

for fun fitness activity<br />

in the community. No<br />

experience needed.<br />

Equipment provided.<br />

If you stop by the<br />

event, can you tell my<br />

wife to pick up some<br />

chips on the way home.<br />

She takes in the evening<br />

each week. Without<br />

some chips in the house,<br />

I won’t be able to do my<br />

arm curl exercises while<br />

watching the hockey<br />

game.

refugees were sent to<br />

Winnipeg by the CBSA.<br />

There were men,<br />

women and children<br />

A Day on the Border<br />

By Don Piett<br />

It started with a phone<br />

call at 8:30 am. The call<br />

came from the Canadian<br />

Border Services Agency<br />

to Brenda Piett, Assistant<br />

Municipal Emergency<br />

Coordinator for the<br />

Municipality of <strong>Emerson</strong><br />

Franklin. Full disclosure,<br />

she is also my wife and<br />

together we own this<br />

newspaper.<br />

The Border Agency<br />

had fourteen asylum<br />

seekers at Immigration<br />

who had crossed the<br />

border illegally during<br />

the night. What they<br />

didn’t have was the room<br />

to keep that many people<br />

for the amount of time<br />

it would take to process<br />

them. They asked what<br />

we would have to do<br />

to utilize the <strong>Emerson</strong><br />

Community Complex<br />

for the refugees, similar<br />

to when a blizzard closes<br />

the highway.<br />

Brenda agreed<br />

to open the Complex<br />

and called in another<br />

volunteer. When the<br />

CBSA called back, they<br />

had four people who<br />

they wanted taken to the<br />

complex. The refugees<br />

had been through<br />

initial processing, but<br />

they were not finished.<br />

Brenda picked them up<br />

and when they arrived at<br />

the Complex, they set up<br />

the makeshift beds and<br />

went to sleep.<br />

As the day went on,<br />

more people arrived,<br />

brought by CBSA as<br />

initial processing moved<br />

ahead. Later, they would<br />

be picked up and taken<br />

back to the border for<br />

further processing. The<br />

final group was picked<br />

up at 8:30 pm. After the<br />

final processing, the<br />

This is how most of the refugees spent their day in <strong>Emerson</strong><br />

in the group. The<br />

children were not taken<br />

to the Complex. The<br />

refugees came from<br />

Somalia and Djibouti.<br />

Communication was<br />

very limited as they did<br />

not speak English. One<br />

of them spoke French,<br />

but as we don’t, that<br />

didn’t help.<br />

At one point there<br />

was 10 asylum seekers at<br />

the Complex. As stated,<br />

they slept most of the<br />

day, after all they had<br />

been up most of the<br />

night. When they were<br />

awake, they were very<br />

quiet and polite. They<br />

seemed relieved to be<br />

somewhere warm and<br />

safe.<br />

As yet there was no<br />

protocol for this, so<br />

meetings will be held<br />

between the Municipality<br />

and the Border Services<br />

to establish guidelines.<br />

People have been<br />

seeking asylum in<br />

Canada for years, but<br />

recent events have<br />

increased the number.<br />

With the widely<br />

publicized ban on entry<br />

from some Muslim<br />

majority countries in<br />

the United States, more<br />

people are deciding that<br />

the best move for them<br />

is Canada.<br />

This requires crossing<br />

the border illegally, then<br />

applying at Immigration<br />

Manitoba Status of<br />

Women<br />

I would like to thank<br />

for refugee status.<br />

<strong>Emerson</strong> has become a<br />

hot point for this because<br />

it is relatively easy to<br />

cross here, and there is a<br />

24 hour Border Services<br />

Agency Office.<br />

Manitoba Sport,<br />

Culture and Heritage<br />

Status of Women for<br />

the grant money. This<br />

computer course was<br />

a huge success!<br />

I would also like<br />

to thank Lorie<br />

Greyorchuck for the<br />

wonderful job she did<br />

teaching us. There<br />

were 14 participants<br />

and everyone enjoyed<br />

the course very much!<br />

This was a grant from<br />

Manitoba Sport,<br />

Have a Great Week!<br />
