Youth in Philanthropy is an organization that
outdoor lighting so that it can be safer for people to walk by and enjoy the nearby park. Youth for Christ will be receiving $1000 dollars to help with the installation of 2 wheelchair access washrooms. These are needed for the facility in order to allow everyone to have washroom access without having to leave.
The students involved in the organization at Morris school would also like to extend much gratitude to Pat Schmitke and the Twisters for allowing them to run the 50/50 draw at one of their hockey games. On top of the money raised by Youth in Philanthropy, Pat Schmitke won the
50/50 and chose to give it back to the organization to add to the amount of money they were able to disperse.
Youth in Philanthropy, and with the Morris Area Foundation and the Thomas Sill Foundation, l o o k f o r w a r d t o continuing the work and community service they have provided to the local community. Students involved in the group understand that there is always a need for something in the local area, and they are very proud and blessed to be able to help others out.

Personally, I will remember him with
smiles and laughter. B e s i d e s a n a v i d sportsperson, he was a real jokester.

The first day of June has arrived, making us think of the longest day of the year already approaching. I certainly love the long daylight hours although it seems as if we are losing a lot of sleep because it gets to be midnight too soon!
June 1st is special this year seeing Manitoba has reached the second stage of recovering from Covid-19. It is good to hear that restaurants will be opening but with limited seating. Many other activities can also go ahead, even garage sales. On Sunday morning we were able to attend an early morning
church service with a second one at 11:15, now that count has gone to 50 outdoor it will be tempting to have services outside.
Congratulations go out to Savannah Brandt and Michael Driedger on their marriage June 1 st. Savannah is the daughter of Kerry and Barb Brandt of Rosenort. Earlier a shower of 10 or less at a time was held at the Brandt home. It is interesting to hear about the different ways things get done even in these difficult times.
Happy birthday w i s h e s g o o u t t o my brother, Johnny
Dueck, whose birthday was on Sunday May 31st. They had a surprise visit from their daughter Janice coming from Roblin. It was good to have a few more family come by throughout the day. Happy birthday wishes also to Mar y Ann Loewen (Ernie ) who celebrated her 75th on May 25th.
The unwelcome frost we had last week took care of some nice looking garden plants! Someone said never plant anything until the first of June has come and gone. I hope I will remember that next year.
Get well wishes to Lucy Rempel who is hospitalised in Wpg. Also, to my sister Eleanor Zacharias in Morris.
Hopefully just a short stay! We are so thankful for good health especially when doctors are not taking of f ice v is i ts. They do call you back and some have had to send phone pictures to get diagnosed!
This will be short column with much more to come next week. Take care, stay distanced, and use a lot of sanitizer. We may be the first province to get out of this chaos.
W a t c h f o r t h e strawberry moon as well as full moon eclipse on June 5th and 6th.
G o o d t o h e a r that Subway and the Fa r m h o u s e C a f é i n Rosenort are open to enjoy indoor eating.

Wiebe Funeral Home Altona Ltd Daily Grief Support Email “Grief wraps around people, takes them to a place they would not go otherwise.” - Patti Callahan Henry, Between The Tides Have you noticed that you now have an indescribable bond with other people who have experienced loss? It’s as if you were part of a different reality before your loss, one to which you cannot return. Continue to reach out to others who have been through or are going through grief. You need people to talk to and listen to who understand where you are. Even people who are very kind and sympathetic will not be able to truly help you unless they’ve been through this experience.
A l s o f ro m Wi e b e Funeral Home Altona Ltd Daily Grief Support Email “I wonder if I cry whether my tears would be gray.” - Susan Beth Pfeffer, Life As We Knew It If you are feeling flat, like you have a lack of emotion about anything, then you need to take some steps to break out of that space. Go outside and take a brisk, ten-minute walk in the sun. If it is raining, then take a walk in the rain! You need to elevate your mood every day, and this may require you take action steps. That is absolutely fine. Just as you tackle
other challenges in life, getting through your grief is a problem to be managed.
It appears that there are three tulips that are arriving in my front garden. What I suspected were Lily of the Valley are. It’s a good thing I like Lily of the Valley. I think I’ll let them stay….for this year. My apple tree was bursting with blooms! I may get apples this year. Even the two little trees in the back have blooms. Maybe I’ll get an apple or two from them, too.

T h e P o s t R o a d H e r i t a g e G r o u p (PRHG) is a volunteer organization dedicated t o t h e u p k e e p a n d p r o m o t i o n o f F o r t Dufferin. Over the past number of years, the PRHG has held Heritage Day at Fort Dufferin in early June, to promote the history of the site and as a fund raiser. Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty of the COVID 19 virus the PRHG has decided to cancel the event for this year. They hope to be able to bring it back next year bigger and better.
The PRHG is in the process of putting up the signs along the walking t ra i l a n d p re p a r i ng the interpretive centre to reopen by June 1st. When visiting, please remember to practice hand sanitizing and social distancing.
When on site you will notice that the PRHG is currently in the process of dismantling the old farmhouse/Officer ’s mess. The farmhouse was moved on site in 1906 while the officer’s mess is original to the fort. The PRHG is hoping to salvage as much as p o s s i b l e f r o m t h e officer’s mess as they move forward with the next project to rebuild that portion. As this building has deteriorated to the point of becoming a public safety issue, please stay away from
this area for your own safety.
Even though Fort Dufferin is a national historic site, it is not a funded site. As a result, the PRHG must raise its own funds in order to complete the projects. If you appreciate this site
and would like to make a donation to help support their efforts donation can be sent to: POST ROAD HERITAGE GROUP, Box 71, Emerson, MB R0A 0L0. More information about the fort can be found on Facebook at Fort [email protected]

y News from TolstoiBy Helen Bially

Morris HappeningsBy Sean D Conway
T h e M a y 2 8 , publication of the Morris Happenings column, fai led to mention a rural business and an organization that made donations to support the Morris School Computer Club. Big way, Emerson and Valley Regional L ibrar y, Mor r is. An apology for the omission.
An explanation to the residents of the Morris subdivision who have looked out their windows a n d s a w t h e w h i t e apparition hovering on the dike. I have taken to walking the dike for some exercise. The pasty white presence is not a ghost but rather me with my shirt off.
I h a v e t a k e n t o social distancing as the government has suggested. I’m not a sociable person. Walking alone ensures a great
distance between me and another living soul. The bubble I walk in may at times include my spouse. I can confidently say, you will never see her walking without a shirt.
I figured walking on the dike without a shirt on is socially acceptable. If you can’t see me up close then, you can be blinded by the light reflecting off my white skin. Other than three Mallard ducks and they were not walking but just sunning themselves, I haven’t met anyone lately. I made a detour from the ducks to avoid them having to put on sun glasses or hear comments regarding my appearance.
I recall that vitamin D is produced by the human body with the aid of sun light. I also recall
skin cancer is metastasis by the human body with the aid of the same sun. After nine months of winter and twelve weeks of social isolation, I have to take to the outdoors with the aid of sun screen and the sun be damned, if I am to remain sane.
I’m not looking for a golden tan by taking my shirt off. An off colour from the bright white w i nt e r c o l o r w ou l d be nice. I refrain from walking in public without a shirt. That is something nobody needs to see. Well if you are on the cruise I paid for, then you will have to suffer.
Where was I going with this story. Oh yeah, I see farmers are in the f ields preparing for planting. There is a great social isolator! Sitting alone in the cab of a 150 horses of diesel power, with no one to talk to. Hey farmers, I like cab isolation and am willing to travel.
I happened across an operation that appeared to be loading the seeder.
Getting Started
I say appears to be because I’m a city boy through and through. You cut me and I bleed what grows in the super market and not the stuff rural Manitoba grows on the farm. My career was computer minded in the city and not canola seeded in the country.
I have to say it is pretty awe inspiring standing along some of those big farm implements. Who knew forty foot headers could take out most road
signs and the odd car in the other lane, especially if they don’t think it is necessary to move over. The car has to be driven by city folk.
The pandemic has brought to light how much we value front line workers that provide health care. I also think the grocery staff are equally important when they are responsible for my food delivery.
I wanted to give a shout out to farmers and
their families. Minimal flooding this year is a crisis averted for you folks. The pandemic d o e s n ’ t c ha ng e t h e seasons. Seed has to go into the ground in the Spring, if the crop is to come out of the ground in the Fall. Thank you for putting seed in the ground, to get the super market shelves stocked so the grocery clerk has something to put in the bag for my order.
W e l c o m e t o t h e m o nt h o f Ju n e. Butterflies drifting across it, bees that go humming by, the rose belongs to a June day. In the gardens that smile at the sky.
I’m sending this little note to bring wishes too, though I’d rather is was roses, all sweet and fresh with dew, a birthday is a special day for you. Jessica Trainer will be celebrating her birthday on Father’s Day, Helen Tanquay (Kulyk) June 13th, Teresa Antoniuk on June 22nd. On June 10th Jackary Michael Andre will be 5 years old. Donny Bially June 24th and Margaret Shuvers on the 16th of June.

Greetings: On June 6th, their eleventh Kevin and Leanne Germain, June 2nd to Jeri-Lynn and Kevin Graham, 45 years together. It’s Kurt and Ruta Calderwood’s anniversary on June 23rd. Many blessings to all as you celebrate, and to many others who I have not mentioned.
If you enjoy CT V Winnipeg, it was the last show for Rahim Ladhani. An emotional morning for the CTV family on Friday. I know I will miss him. He was entertaining yet positive. He will be leaving for Toronto. Good Luck Rahim.
It is indeed a beautiful sight at this time of year when all the blooms
on the fruit trees show off their beauty and fragrance. The red benches are all out, and look very inviting. There are some six of these benches around town here in Tolstoi. There are excited shoppers that are pleased to learn the Border Vintage will be opened on June 18th. Stuartburn Emerson F r a n k l i n F a r m e r s market, located at Can-Am Corner, at the corner of Highway 201 and 59 gas station. Check out their post on Facebook on up coming dates.
Manitoba has been doing really well keeping Covid-19 numbers down. Phase 2 re-opening but still not for bingo halls. Until next time, keep social distancing and stay safe and healthy.

“To the Point”By Jeremy Bradley
20061gm0
The Can Am Corner gas bar/restaurant/ convenience store has been a community hub for many years. Located where Hwys 201 and 59 meet, 9 miles north of the US border, it’s a popular stop for locals and travellers alike.
Now, there’s a fresh reason to stop. The newly created ‘Corner Farmers’ Market’ is responding to the growing interest in “buying local” by providing a venue for area producers and consumers to meet. The first Market happened Wednesday, May 20th.
T h r o u g h o u t Manitoba, there has been growing support for farmers’ markets, C o m m u n i t y S h a re d Agriculture and related local food initiatives for a number of years. The pandemic has further exposed vulnerabilities in conventional supply chains leading to a s ig n i f i ca nt ju mp i n d e m a n d f o r l o c a l l y produced food and other essentials. Awareness
Corner Farmers’ Market LaunchedSubmitted by the Stuartburn Emerson-Franklin Local Food Initiative.
of food security issues is spreading. Sponsored by the Stuartburn Emerson-Franklin Local Food Initiative, the Corner Farmers’ Market has been in planning for a year, but the local buying trend around the Covid 19 pandemic helped to kickstart it.
“ W e ’ v e b e e n r e c r u i t i n g l o c a l p r o d u c e r s a n d h i g h l i g h t i n g t h e i r stories in local papers for more than a year,” said the organizers. Leah Bouchard, Laura Reeves and Janet Kroeker began the Initiative in 2018. At Christmas, the group produced a pamphlet and promoted local gift shopping. Community potlucks bringing local producers and buyers together were slated to begin this spring, but will have to wait for rules around gatherings to relax.
M e a n w h i l e , t h e Corner Farmers’ Market has started small with plans to grow into a regular event throughout
the summer and fall. A l l p u rc ha s e s w e re pre-ordered and the p ro d u c e r s w e re o n hand for several hours to meet their customers and fill orders. Producers included Wildfire Farms, Green Valley Garden C e n t e r, C r e e k s i d e Dairy, Stoney Brook C r e a m e r y , P r a i r i e Shore Botanicals, Skip-o-Potamus. Products ranged from organic milk, goat cheese, hand-crafted soaps, pastured meats, honey, and wild harvested herbs. Other producers will be added for future market days as “non-essentials” are allowed with relaxing Covid regulations.

I u n d e r s t a n d being pissed off about something happening in your city. But to be part of a mob that violently protests whatever the issue is and contributing to mass destruction of your hometown — well, that’s just stupid.
Minneapolis erupted in rage last week after a man was killed by police. By now you’ve heard about George Floyd who died while being arrested by officers for allegedly passing a fake $20 bill. The officers were quickly
called racist and news headlines blared that ‘it’s happened again’: white police officers targeting a black person.
That ’s w h e re t h e Minneapolis mob took over (the rest of the country was quick to follow). Within hours, M i n n e s o t a s t r e e t s were filled with people shouting, carrying “black lives matter” signs and destroying public and private property. Stores were looted, fights broke out and fires were set. For some reason, we’re
meant to hear their message: Violence isn’t the answer.
Hear my message: Yo u ’ r e a b u n c h o f animals.
The goons might’ve felt some gratification in smashing their way into stores or lighting property on fire, but when the dust settles ( l i t e r a l l y ) a n d t h e smoke clears (literally), they’re going to pay for it (literally).
There’s a good chance that businesses affected by the melee will have i n s u ra n c e b u t t h e y might be forced to (or decide to punish the community and) raise the cost of their products or services. Damage to city property could ultimately be passed
onto taxpayers.S o , y a h o o ! Yo u
made your point and destroyed your city but in a roundabout way you’ll likely cover some of the costs when all is said and done.
I absolutely agree that protesting is a right that people should exercise as they see fit. There’s also that term “peaceful protest” which is much
more respectable.It ’s h a rd t o t a k e
seriously people who are acting the fool and causing w idespread destruction upon the place they are seemingly d e f e n d i n g . It ’s l i k e protesting gas-guzzling vehicles and saying, “I love my car and you’ll never take it away from me…” while purposely driving it into a tree.
Who are you teaching a lesson?
You’re fed up with how people are treated, demanding people not live in fear, that you go on a violent rampage t h a t d e s t r o y s t h e i r things and instils fear amongst them. Seems counterproductive, no?

They are big trees now and are shading the graves. To be done this summer also. The board has approved removal of trees and shrubs on graves by the family members on family gravesites.

People have found unique ways to celebrate and I’m sure that these birthday celebrants will do the same. Linda Steinert’s 70th birthday was on June 3 rd and joining her on the same day was Brian Grier who was 79. Glen Calder’s 74th on June 6th and my sister Myrtle Osachuk
Greetings to all. That was quite a frost a few nights ago. Our garden was all up so I covered the beans with sheets but a few didn’t get covered. Well, guess what happened? The ones that were covered froze and the uncovered ones survived. Go figure! But a bigger problem is going on these days and it’s not only here. There’s a cutworm invasion. It seems that anyone I talked to has had either vegetables or flowers hacked off. They’ve even moved into the grain fields which is really bad.

snowbirds and their s t o p p i n g i n To w n – this quickly shifted over to flooding, and repeated inter views regarding this. From here, we then shifted back to COVID-19, with interview requests on the Town’s plans for facilities. Oh, and a few media outlets were interested in discussing our budget as well. Despite this being very demanding at times, I have been thankful for the opportunity to present our community publicly and positively. W i t h t h i s p a u s e i n activity, I had been working with Margaret to discuss opportunities I believe we have in Recreation. As Chair of the Commission during my previous term, I see differences between what we do now versus t h e n , e s p e c i a l l y i n areas such as Council oversight, program and financial monitoring, a n d w o r k i n g w i t h community partners. We have been unable to come to an agreement on a move-forward strategy, so have decided to bring this to Council for further discussion and direction. This is on our agenda this evening.Chris will be reporting on Economic Development tonight. However, I would like to state my excitement at the speed with which we will be able to move ahead with this project, and I look forward to Council’s feedback on our next steps.T h e r e h a v e b e e n some very odd touch points with both the Federal and Provincial governments. I had a zoom meeting with Portage-Lisgar Mayors/Reeves with Candice a few weeks ago, and it sounded as if there had been discussion between the Feds, Province, and
some Municipalities regarding infrastructure projects. Also based on the Premier’s messaging last week, it sounded as if the Province was looking for additional projects that they could participate in. I spoke with our MLA, and he did not have details of the projects, nor an idea of what form of projects the Province might add – he suggested I reach out to Minister Schuler. I have sent him some correspondence, and as of yet, I do not have a response from him.We have also been unable to get any confirmation of our Internet funding under ICIP. Again, I have reached out to our MLA’s office, and they have asked for additional details. A follow-up was sent a week later (May 11th). As of right now, we still await a response.Deputy Mayor Chris Hamblin eported on Va l l e y A g r i c u l t u r a l S o c i e t y , E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t C o m m i t t e e , W e e d Control, Hiring an EDO Councillor Mel Baxter reported on: Handi-Van Report, Morris Area Fdn, Valley Regional Library, Riverview Golf CourseCouncillor Margaret J o h n s t o n r e p o r t e d on Rec Committeen Community Partners, T h e R R V P C C , T h e Healthy Child CoalitionRed River Interagency Councillor Tim Lewis reported on: Public Wo r k s, C o m m u n i t y Fu t u re s Ma n i t o b a , Community Futures Triple R- Councillor Ruth Murray reported on; MASS Board, Rec Mtg, weed Meeting in Letellier, Love Morris Other Reports:Multiplex Report, Facility Report, Project Board Reports, Assisted Living Project, Medical Clinic Project Meeting adjourned at 9:36 pm
