I don’t want to
jinx things, but I can’t
believe that we’ve gone
a week without rain.
It just seemed that the

actually had to water my
outdoor plants.
The

Maddux and Denton
Mateychuk both made
their respective South
Central AAA Baseball
teams this year and both
of their teams advanced
to provincials this
season.
Denton’s provincial
tournament ran from
July 29-31 in Hamiota,
MB. Denton’s 13U
team went through the
round robin part of the
tournament with a 3-1
record and ended up in
second place in their
pool. They faced Boni
Vital in the semi final
and won that game 8-4.
With that, the South
Central team advanced
to the finals versus
North Winnipeg. In
a thrilling comeback,
South Central ended up
winning the exciting
final 10-9, with Denton
driving in the winning
run.
Maddux’s 15U team
played their provincial
tournament in Altona
from July 29-31. The
South Central team
finished the round
robin portion of the
tournament with a 3-1
record and were in a
three way tie for first
place in their pool. Due
to the limited number
of runs they gave up,
Maddux’s team ended
up in first place. They
faced Oil Dome in their
semifinal game and
won that 11-1. Just
like the 13U team, the
15U team played North
Winnipeg in the final.
South Central won the
game 4-3, with Maddux
pitching over 5 innings
in the game. Maddux
also scored the winning
run in this final game.
Denton and the
13U South Central
team are off to the
We s t e r n C a n a d i a n
Championships on
August 11-14 in
Saskatoon. Maddux,
his dad (coach of the
team) and the 15U
South Central team go
to the Baseball Canada
National Tournament
hosted by Summerside,
PEI from August 2430th. Good luck Maddux
and Denton.

On the Anniversary of the Day
You Went Away
Today’s the anniversary
Of the day that I lost you
And for a time it felt as though
My life had ended too.
But loss has taught me many things
And now I face each day
With hope and happy memories
To help me on the way.
And though I’m full of sadness
That you’re no longer here
Your influence still guides me
And I still feel you near
What we shared will never die
It lives within my heart,
Bringing strength and comfort
While we are apart

Letters to the Editor
I live in Provencher
riding with my spouse
and our two children
and am a former
member of the Canadian
Forces. Our Member
of Parliament Ted Falk
has voiced unequivocal
support for families and
the military.
But because we are a
gay couple, that support
evaporates.
I’m concerned
about the opinion,
widely expressed after
Steinbach Pride, that
it is acceptable for our
local politicians to not
support the LGBTTQ
community for personal
reasons. But we are
talking about much
more than personal
support. Mr. Falk has
recently gone on record
saying equal rights
for our community
are “an attack on the
family.” What about the
families to which we
belong, and which we
create? Nothing is more
important to me than to
raise our children.
Why would Mr. Falk
wish to remove my
civil rights, enjoyed by
every other Canadian?
He cites his values
of “faith, family, and
c o m m u n i t y. ” F r o m
recent media reports,
we know that many
Mennonite LGBTTQ
people have faced
personal catastrophe
from being shunned
from their faith, family,
a n d c o m m u n i t y.
Historically, in World
War II, LGBTTQ people
were exterminated
for the same reason:
they did not have a
place in “the family”
(James Lichti, “Houses
on the Sand: Pacifist
Denominations in Nazi
Germany,” page 84).
Mr. Falk may feel
LGBTTQ people are the
enemy. But that does not
mean we are “attacking”
anyone. For him to
pretend otherwise is
gaslighting, and a way
to justify continued
hostility.
As a former Canadian
Forces member and a
father, nothing is more
offensive to find that my
MP refuses to support
my civil rights, uses
arguments identical to
ones that underpinned
atrocities against my
people, and refuses to
respond to my letters
about this issue.
There is a gentler
path to be found in the
Mennonite tradition.
Pastor Pieter Niemeyer
of Rouge Valley
Mennonite Church
in Markham says,
“Attitudes have been
moving toward a more
fair and just approach
regarding the LGBTQ
community. I believe
this is the work of
the Spirit of Christ.”
(Canadian Mennonite
vol. 20 Issue 4). He
also cites Romans 14,
which “reminds us
to love by carefully
tending to each other’s
convictions of faith
without intimidation,
threats or domination.”
My own faith does
not preclude rights or
respect for LGBTTQ
people. Perhaps Pastor
Niemeyer’s approach
may be instructive to
Mr. Falk and his pastors.

COMMUNITIES
IN BLOOM -- CIB--Morris,MB.
All across the
c o u n t r y, v i l l a g e s ,
towns, and cities are
growing more plants
and flowers,--they are
growing togetherness
and civic pride. There
are many different
groups contributing
to this community
.Look around you
here in Morris--I Love
Morris held the first
week in June, The
Community Gardens,
MASS Services for
Seniors ,The Rec Dept
looking after the plants
at the Pool ,The Girl
Guides planting trees
,the coaches in this
community, and many
other unpaid volunteers
help improve our
community.
It is unfortunate we
can not invite everyone
to the CIB - BBQ.
Many of the volunteers
are asked to come to
the I LOVE MORRIS
lunch in June. For the
CIB BBQ we asked the
planters & the weeders
of the town owned
planters & beds.
It is also unfortunate
that some members
of this community
cannot accept change
& suggestions that
we received from
the Provincial CIB
Convention. The
selection for Yard of
the Week has worked
extremely well and now
puts the onus on the
citizens .Take a look at
the yards that have been
selected. Are people
jealous if they are not
selected? Where is the
community pride?
Also the start
of WEEDLESS
W E D N E S D AY S i s
another great suggestion
from the convention .In
this program weeding
& deadheading flowers
is shared thus the onus
does not fall on 1 or 2
people. We should all
be grateful that others
are willing to help
and are willing to pull
weeds wherever needed.
Weeds grow overnight
so it is not a reflection
on the previous weeder.
A Special Thanks
to everyone for
helping improve this
community. We now
await the evaluation
done by the judges on
Wednesday ,Aug. 10th.
We will hear this at the
provincial convention to
be held in Stonewall on
Sept 9& 10th.

Abbeyfield Invitational
Tour by Shirley Berrington
On
Sunday
afternoon, from 2-4pm.
the Abbeyfield Housing
Committee held
their first tour of the
Abbeyfield House.
The Reeve and
Emerson/Franklin
Council members,
and guests and people
who have expressed a
continued interest in
Abbeyfield House, were
invited to attend. To
date, most construction
is completed on the
main floor, and the
outside deck and
parking lot base work
are done. It is looking
very inviting, even
though the landscaping
is not completed or the
lower floor. The wet
weather has held things
up but now things are
proceding.
Two rooms with
staged furniture, one
single and one double,
were set up to give
people a clearer picture
of their units. The
beautiful large windows
in the units offer a
feeling of spaciousness
as the sunshine fills the
room.
Although the open
eating area and kitchen,
and resident lounge were
set up for the information
presentation, everyone
could visualize how
large this common area
is. The kitchen would
be a cook’s dream. The
view toward town can
be observed from the
east windows all the way
to the park & pool. The
spacious deck will lend
itself to conversations
that can take place for
residents who enjoy the
outdoors!

about the facility, its
costs, and assets.
It is a wonderful
senior facility that he
likened to a “college
dorm for seniors”. You
can be as much a part of
things, as helping with
meal preparation and
planning, or not. The
main thing is that you
won’t be alone and many
events can take place at
Abbeyfield that you can
be a part of: card nights,
bingo, or movies. The
possibilities are endless.
He encouraged people to
not wait too long, as it is
not a care home facility.
Other communities
have expressed a lot of
interest in the project
as Dominion City
and our municipality
have become the first
Abbeyfield House in
Manitoba.
Residents that have
signed up were invited to
check out their facility,
as it is a first come first
served signup. They
were all impressed.
The Abbeyfield
Committee along with
the Reeve and council,
have worked tirelessly
on this project and are
very proud of their
efforts. You too can
be very proud of this
beautiful facility in
our municipality and
can look forward to a
Public Walk Through in
September.

“To the Point”
By Jeremy Bradley
Sit Beside Me, I'm
Not Gross
The annoyance of
sitting next to someone.
You’ve experienced it. I
know you have. Whether
it was you who needed to
sit by someone hacking
and wheezing while
sounding deathly sick
or someone plunked
themself beside you a‎ nd
wouldn’t stop moving
or talking loudly on
their phone that you just
wanted to get up and
leave.
Problem is, you often
can’t go anywhere. But
if you do, do you look
like a jerk who’s going
to have people staring
at you because you
obiously didn’t want
to sit next to a person?
For the most part, public
perception goes out the
window when it’s a
matter of our personal
comfort.
Here is where I am
different than most
people. I actually want
others to sit by me.
Why? It makes me feel
not gross. I’ll tell you
what I mean.
When you are on a
bus or a subway, people
look for an open seat.
Once they find one
they look to see who

is occupying the other
side of it. They make
a snap decision, “Do I
sit beside him or not?”
There could be a brief
moment of hesitation
and scramble to look
for another place to
sit before they reach
that seat or they could
just grab for the sake
of sitting down. (On
a plane or at a concert
they’re forced to sit by
you if there’s nothing
else available.)
Generally a seat is
a seat and people will
take it if it is available
but the neighbour is
a consideration for
most people.‎ But when
someone has made eye
contact with you and
there is a seat open
beside you, chances
are they have quickly
judged you to see if you
are decent to sit beside.
So yes, at times I
take it personally if a
person looks at me, then
looks away and grabs a
seat somewhere else. It
has made me thought,
“What was wrong with
me that you couldn’t sit
beside me?” Then again there
are probably times I
have seen the sweaty,
sneezy person and
thought, “Please don’t
sit by me, please don’t
sit by me” but they have
displayed undesireable
characteristics and my
judging is justified.
At least in my mind,
anyway.
Who knew there
could be so much politics
in seat selection?
That’s my point.

THE SOUTHEAST JOURNAL
Rosenort Festival by Lorraine Loewen
On Saturday
morning the Rosenort
Credit Union cooked
breakfast for the whole
community! It was
served at the arena from
8 to 9;30 and the people
kept coming. What a
crowd it was!!!
The Rosenort
Festival began on
Friday evening with
entertainment and a
movie. The fireworks
started at 10:20, no one
was disappointed!!! It
was a grand display
lasting for almost a
half hour, many came
out to watch and cars
were lined up on the
205 almost to the 422!!!
What a beautiful clear
night, something we
cannot take for granted
in the Red River Valley
with all the rain and
storms we have had
recently.
The festivities
continued all day
S a t u r d a y, l o t s o f
fun activities for the
youngsters. The Muddy
River Market Place, a
human strength combine
pull and a huge petting
zoo for the kids were
on the agenda before
the exciting ping pong
drop!! A huge note
of appreciation goes
out to Henry Thiessen,
flying his plane over
the baseball diamond
and dropping buckets
of balls on the field is
no ordinary fete!!! Each
child was allowed only
one ball, and the rush
was on!! The prizes
were collected later with
numbers on the ball
letting them know what
they won!
The adults were
treated to a great tractor
show put on by the
Scratching River Tractor
Club, Bert Kornelsen
is the President with
Benny Friesen as Vice.
It was good to have
Herman Martens out to
announce and describe
the tractors as well as the
car show that followed.
A brief intermission
was held when it was
announced that the
Stars ambulance would
be making a landing.
During this time a
few of us were sitting
under a small gazebo
when suddenly we
experienced a twister
with the shelters flying
, the empty chairs flew
by and many papers
flew up into the sky!
What a scare! It was
over as fast as it came
and fortunately no one
was hurt!
The highlight of the
afternoon for many of
the older crowd was the
threshing demonstration
with John Friesen and
his crew. Last weekend
he was in Austin taking
part in the show with
139 other machines, he
managed to keep going
until the end!
Of course the day
would not be complete
without lots of food
and the lunch canteen
was operated by the
youth of the RFC. The
Mexican supper was
served in support of
the Rosenort Fire Dept.
and the Friday supper
was served by the 2017
grad class. On Sunday
morning a community
church worship service
was held at the arena, a
lovely free lunch was
enjoyed. Kudos to those
who spent so much
time working out all
the details for this great
weekend!!!!

Emerson CBSA Officers in Ultimate
Polar Plunge By Don Piett
O n J u l y 1 st,
Nicole Pearson and
Stu Ferguson of the
Canadian Border
Services Agency based
at the Emerson Crossing
where in Churchill for
the Ultimate Polar
Plunge. The Plunge
was held by the Law
Enforcement Torch Run
and Special Olympics
and is a fund raiser for
Special Olympics and
requires a dip in the
frigid waters of Hudson
Bay.
Each participant had
to raise $3250 to take
part in the event. The
officers were placed on
a relay team of four
and each member had
to swim to a marker
and back. As Hudson
Bay is salt water, it
doesn’t freeze at zero,
so water temperature
was between minus 1
and minus 5 degrees
Celsius. There was sea
ice still floating around
the harbour and the
swimmers had to avoid
it.
They spent about
36 hours in Churchill
and got to see some of
the other attractions of
the town. According
to Nicole Pearson, the
hospitality in Churchill
was second to none.
The Polar Plunge
participants were in the
Churchill Canada Day
Parade, got to ride in a
Tundra Buggy and go
out on the water and see
and hear (with special
microphones) the
Beluga whales. Both
Pearson and Ferguson
said they would do
it again if given the
chance.
Special Olympics is a
charitable organization
that provides
opportunities for
challenged individuals
to participate in
sports. They have had
‘polar bear ’ swims
as fundraisers in the
past, but this is the first
Ultimate Polar Plunge
into the freezing salt
water of Hudson Bay.

Plunge raised $60,000

Altona Elks Help Fire Victims
submitted by Guy Mullen
Rod Patrick and his
wife are looking after
their daughter and 2
little grand children.
In mid July they had a
grease fire that gutted
their Altona apartment
leaving them home less
with just the clothes
on their backs. One of
our Elks members, Ken
Penner, heard of their
plight and found them
temporary housing in
Plum Coulee, sleeping
on the floor with nothing
to sleep on, sit on, no
plates, pots, and pans
etc. He contacted the
Build a Village folks
(Ray Loewen) who
are sponsoring the
Syrian’s. He was able
to get enough donated
material to furnish the
temporary housing unit.
Elks charity chairman
Rheina Schellenberg
applied to the National
Elks Fund for Children
and within a day got
approval for a donation
of $1500. The family
was very moved and
grateful. The Elks are
ordinary people in your
community just like
you. Together we can
make a difference in
children’s lives.

La Verendrye Roseau
River Research
Expedition by Shirley Berrington
A group of five
people, Rosemary &
David Malahen of
Whistler, B.C., Ruth
Swan of Winnipeg,
David Fuller of
Hastings, Nebraska,
and Edward Jeram of
Hallock, Minn., stopped
at the Franklin Museum
on Friday, as one of their
many stops along the
way of tracing the route
of the former explorer
La Verendrye.
They had camped
in Lake of the Woods
and were intrigued by
it, as they visited the
site of the former Ft.
St. Charles which was
set up in 1732 by La
Jemeraye, a mid-way
point to the west from
the Roseau River. They
wanted to follow the
route that he and La
Verendrye had traveled
to evaluate the route
for the possibility of
future and frequent use.
They are tracing the
route by visiting sites
and talking to different
people along the way
to get a picture of what
it was like in earlier
times. They stopped
at the memorial cairn
in Letellier and talked
to Regina Southwind
of the Ginew Reserve,
who added that there
were many aboriginal
guides that showed
them the aboriginal
route. In Dominion City,
they will be talking to
Osborne Scott, one of
our older residents, and
Donna Mae Unverrich
has corresponded and
assisted w ith th e ir
historic expedition. Jim
Waddell’s book has
been a great resource
for them. From here,
they will be visiting and
talking to the Clayton
Gunn’s and Cliff Hunter,
and checking out the
Wounded Warrior Rock.
They want to visit where
the Savanne portage
in Roseau, Minn. was
made that connected
waterways to the
Roseau. There is also
a museum there where
they hope to gather
more information. They
are excited about their
trip and expect it to
take them some time to
complete.

Rinn's
Ramblings
by Weldon Rinn
Well I hope you
all didn’t miss my
ramblings too much
over the course of the
last couple of weeks?
At least not as much
as I missed sorting
through my scattered
thoughts and getting
them down on paper
in some semblance
of a reasonable
column, worthy of our
publication and for your
entertainment and/or
enlightenment. Anyway
enough preliminaries,
back to business...
The Tragically Hip
performed what is in
all likelihood their last
concert in Winnipeg,
at least with the current
line-up intact. I must
confess to never actually
being a huge Hip fan,
although I do sing along
with a few of their tunes,
including some toetapping at times…and
the speedometer in my
car tends to go higher
whenever “Courage”
is playing. Then how
come I sit with tears
in my eyes whenever
I read anything about
Gord Downie’s pending
demise due to incurable
brain cancer? Or
how they got fired,
famously, during their
early formative years
in a memorable soirée
through Winnipeg in
the 80’s? Or pick up
the newspaper and read
about the band and its
long (30 years) life spent
singing about Canada
and Canadian cultural
and newsworthy events?
I don’t know but I
bet I am not the only
one who gets a little
misty thinking about
the Hip, and all they
mean to so many fans,
not just in Canada but
worldwide, and their
retirement. I guess it
is true as one person
interviewed referenced,
the Hip are one of us,
just Hosers just like
the rest of us and we
can relate to them on
August 18, 2016 Pg 8
a personal level. All
I know is that I have
been slowing evolving
into a “Hipster” over the
course of the last decade
or so and now I think
I feel a bit of self-pity
that I wasn’t there for
the whole ride, from the
outset…
I even remember
making fun of how
frontman Downie
would contort and
rant in front of band
mates Paul Langlois,
R o b B a k e r, G o r d
Sinclair & Johnny Fay,
especially in the video
for the aforementioned
“Courage”. Attired as
he (Downie) was in a
Boston Bruin’s hockey
jersey. As a side note
Harry Sinden, long-time
Bruin GM is Downie’s
godfather. So that
makes sense but always
brought a twinge of pride
in my Edmonton Oilers
as I delighted in their
dismantling of the “Big
Bad Bruins” in 2 playoff
series, decimating them
in a combined 8 wins – 1
loss style. How did we
even lose that 1 game?
Now, I see Gord
for the hockey fan he
is, respect his support
of his godfather, and
tone it down when, in
one of my rambling
diatribes defending my
mighty Oilers, I use this
point as a trump card
proving their prowess.
Nowadays I am using
the Oiler’s history less
and less as I want them
to create something new
and wonderful…I will
save more Oiler praising
for future columns.
As some of you
may be aware I spend
my summer months
prepping for next school
year (yes teachers do
work during the summer
months), volunteering
f o r t h e Wi n n i p e g
Blue Bombers as a
Fan Ambassador, and
this summer officially
was christened Bike
Valet Supervisor, and
lastly tooling around
South Winnipeg in a
little white Piston Ring
car, delivering parts
for Piston Ring. And,
of course, driving in
Winnipeg alone can
provide me material for
3000 columns; I will
save my experiences
for an end-of-summer
classic rambling
column.
So as I plan on
finishing my summer
“holiday” distributing
bicycles, dodging
zombie-like Pokémon
Go players and all those
new vehicles that were
made with an overslight (told you that
word would be back)
that being lack of turn
signals, and finishing
some school prep I wish
you all a safe and fun
rest of your summer
and may you continue
to ramble on…
Lastly, Mr. Gord
Downie, may your star
remain bright for years
to come and may you
continue to ramble on
amusing your legions
of fans, God bless you!

were in attendance to
listen to Marlene paint
a vivid portrait of her
memories of growing
up in a farm family in
southern Manitoba.
Marlene left the
audience asking
questions about what
happened to the horses
that fell into the pond in
one of her readings from
the book. She indicated
for $25 the reader could
purchase a copy of her
memoir and discover the
answer for themselves.
The moneys collected
from sale of books
isn’t sufficient to cover
production costs. When
the author was asked
about the cost of selfpublishing her response
was “it’s cheaper than
buying a car.”

simply just reminisce.
On August 2, Richard
Goletski, of Comox
BC, along with their
brother and sister-in-law
Ed and Eva Goletsik,
of Winnipeg came out
our way. They visited
with Ray and Monique
Mayner, their many
other stops included
their form home which
was their parents, Mr
and Mrs Frank Goletski,
where they grew up.
On their camera they
will take memories of
Tolstoi as it is today.
They visited at the
cemetery where their
grandparents are buried.
My visit with them was
pleasant, but certainly
too brief. Ed and Eva
recently celebrated
their golden wedding
anniversary. It was nice
to see their celebration
on film.
They were
on their way to visit
with Jean Germain
(former neighbour) now
at St. Pierre hospital
before returning to the
city for more visiting
and celebrating time
together with many
more family members.
