Morris Legion Celebrates Decoration Day
Photo Courtesy of Connie Norris
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 111 in Morris had a beautiful day for their Decoration Day Ceremony on June 5th. The event included the March to the
Cenotaph where the ceremony was held then back to the Lefion hall. The day also recognized the 70th Anniversary of the Legion Ladies Auxillary in
Morris. Decoration Day is held in early June and recognizes the sacrifice of the members of the armed forces who fought and died in Canada's Wars,
similar to Remembrance Day in November, but it actually has a longer history, starting in 1890. The Legion Branch in Emerson will hold Decoration
Day services on June 12th

Everything is looking
so green and lush after
the rain that we’ve had,
but now we could really
use some more warm
weather. Unfortunately,
some places received
far too much rain, and
you could see farmers
frantically trying to drain
their fields. Enough with
the wind already Mother
Nature!
I’m back from
visiting with my
daughter Deidre and
family in Medicine
Hat for a few days last
week thanks to a ride
from Brad and Trish
Cummins, who were
traveling there, and
graciously accepted an
extra passenger. The
weather there wasn’t
any better than ours
when I left but things
will hopefully improve.
It was nice to get away,
but oh so much work
greets you when you
come back! I couldn’t
get over how much
everything had grown
in a few days, even the
weeds! And finally some
leaves on the oak trees.
A big bouquet to
Judy Hunter for planting
the flower arrangements
in the new planters
downtown. They
are really starting to
mature and will look
very pretty for the
upcoming Summerfest
and summer season.
Thanks Judy!

The first week of
June has passed and
now we are waiting for
the gardens as well as
the crops to grow! It
has been cool but we
have been pleasantly
surprized at how many of
the plants are emerging,
we had almost given up,
thinking it had been dry
for too long.
On Tuesday evening
the Rosenort Gym was
filled to capacity for
the K-12 Spring Choir
Concert, and what a
concert it was!!! Lots
of great singing by
the choir led by Mrs.
Audra Hildebrand was
certainly well done and
enjoyed by the audience.
I heard that this school
had the largest choir
of the whole division,
just watching the happy
faces and the enthusiasm
of the director probably
has a lot to do with that!!
Kudos to all especially
for making the evening
interesting as well!!
Happy 90th birthday
to my brother Johnny
Dueck! On Sunday
afternoon about 150
friends and relatives
gathered at the
Heritage Center in
Rosenort to celebrate
this milestone!!! All
the immediate family
were able to attend as
well as about 50 of the
grandchildren, many
coming from Texas and
Kansas. It was so nice
to hear special singing
by the family as well as
tributes and memories
shared. Johnny has
always been a positive
person, being an older
brother for his 4 sisters
and 2 brothers has
probably given him
many reasons!! A lovely
lunch was served!!
Johnny and Elsie are
planning to move to
the new Apts. being
built at the Heritage.
They have 1 son and
5 daughters and lots of
grandchildren to help
them make this move!!!

Emerson Seniors
Corner
By Diana Breckon

On May 17th, 2016, Ronald John Unrau passed away peacefully surrounded
by his loving family and close friends. Ron faced his five-year challenge with ALS
with unwavering courage and dignity.
He will be forever remembered by his loving wife Peggy Lenton-Unrau,
his children Kevin Unrau-Westgate (Viktoria), Tanya Weslak (Darin), Damian
(Andrea), Rohan (Elsie), Fiona Bugera (Ivan), Kimberly Graydon, Shawn Graydon
(Janice), 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his
mother Margaret, and his siblings Edward (Sandy), Carol Bergen (Henry), Wesley
(Marilyn), Alvin, Gerald, Rita McFarlane (Dale) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Ron was predeceased by his father, Jake Unrau.
A celebration of Ron’s life was held at the Morris Multiplex on Monday, May
23rd at 2:00 pm. A private family inurnment took place in the Lowe Farm Cemetery.
Ron was born to Jake and Margaret Unrau on November 7, 1947 and grew up
as the oldest of 5 brothers and 2 sisters on their farm in Rosenfeld,MB. He later
moved to Lowe Farm, MB where he spent the majority of his life before settling
in Morris, MB.
Learning to work the land as a child, he found his calling in farming and loved
doing it for his entire life, always confident in his knowledge and abilities but
never hesitant to ask questions and expand his knowledge. He took great joy and
pride working for many years along side his friend and confidant Wilfred “Butch”
Harder, finishing his last year of farming on a bumper crop. Never one to sit still,
Ron would farm during the summer and drove long-haul truck many winters,
where he enjoyed seeing a large part of North America and meeting new people.
He was instilled with a fierce work ethic and desire to help those around him at
a young age which persisted with him till his final days. Whenever a situation arose
that required help, Ron could be counted on to provide whatever was needed, often
without needing to be asked. He loved playing an active role in the community and
helping those around him wherever he could, spending many years as a member of
the Lowe Farm Fire department, Lowe Farm Recreation Board, and Morris United
Church Property Committee. Most summers, he could be found on the Morris
Stampede grounds, doing a multitude of jobs from hauling soil to working the
Cabaret, helping to get the Stampede up and running and keep it running smoothly.
Ron loved dancing and all forms of music, relishing his time performing in
various Church musical groups including Prairie Chaff and the Variables.
Ron cherished time spent with family and friends and was always ready to go
visit friends, chat in the coffee shop, or have people over. Thankfully, he was able
to continue these activities even in the later stages of his ALS, looking forward
to his “Senate Committee” meetings during the summer where he could be seen
happily driving his wheelchair around town to visit with friends. Having his large
family over for various holidays and get togethers were always a highlight for him.
Ron’s family wishes to extend a most sincere thank you to all his friends and
the entire community for their support in the fund raising event held to purchase a
special van to help with his mobility, allowing him to maintain his independence
and connections with family and friends, as well as the unwavering companionship
extended to Ron throughout his life.
A special thank you is extended to: Dr. Ann Loewen, Ron’s Home Care
Staff, The ALS society of Manitoba, Lifeline, Northland Health Care Products,
Grace Hospital Staff; and Morris Hospital Staff.
If so desired, memorial donations may be made to the A.L.S. Society of
Manitoba, 2A-1717 Dublin Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3H 0H2, www.als.

It’s hard to believe
that we are into the
second week of June
and the weather has
not been very hot yet.
Usually when we’ve
had rain it starts with
warmer weather. Great
for the farmers, they
need the rain, but not the
baking sun to dry it up.
But what do I know. I
feel sorry for the people
in Texas, France and
other places that are
flooding from more rain
than their rivers can
handle. Our floods we
can usually handle. I
like where we all live
behind our dikes.

Those of you who
enjoy gardening will
agree with these words
by William Gottlieb,
found in an old
gardening magazine.
“Everything stress is,
gardening is not. Stress
is hurried and harried;
gardening has the paced
of nature’s season- long
rhythms. Stress is
feeling powerless and
victimized; gardening
is control over both your
food supply and your
immediate environment.
Stress is alienation,
isolation; gardening is
taking part in the great
cycles of the earth,
of participation in the
unity of life. As you
garden, you are healedmind and body, heart
the cycles of growth and soul.”

Committee vs. Canadians
With the pressure
mounting on the Liberals
to respect democracy,
the NDP moved
a motion to create a
special committee on
electoral reform on
which no party would
possess a majority. After
backroom discussions
between the two parties,
the Liberals agreed to
support this motion.
This backroom deal
follows a tumultuous
number of weeks for the
Liberals trying to defend
their indefensible plan
to unilaterally change
our democracy.
While at first glance
this Liberal aboutface may seem like a
positive development,
it still misses the most
important legitimizing
component: asking
Canadians what they
want directly in a
national referendum.
The Liberals have
opted once again to
keep Canadians out of
the decision-making
process, while paying
lip service to the idea of
consulting Canadians.
The Minister of
Democratic Institutions,
Maryam Monsef, says
that this committee
will determine what
constitutes broad-based
support for electoral
reform. Minister
Monsef could acquire
that broad-based
support she claims to be
seeking by committing
to a referendum, but
instead she and Prime
M i n i s t e r Tr u d e a u
insist on doing things
without Canadians’
input. A committee of
parliamentarians, no
matter the makeup,
is not, and never will
be, a substitute for all
Canadians having their
voices head directly in
a referendum. This is
the absolute best way
to give legitimacy to
any changes to our
democracy.
The only reason the
Liberal Government
would not give
Canadians a voice is
if they don’t believe
Canadians will support
their proposal. This is
alarming. There can
be no other conclusion
based on their words
and deeds. If the Liberal
Government truly
cared what Canadians
think, they would have
announced their plans
for a referendum a long
time ago.
While the Liberals
- and now the NDP too
- believe that democracy
can be changed by the
experts or the elites
without the consent
of all Canadians, the
Conservative Party will
continue demanding
that Canadians receive
the say they deserve.
Democracy belongs to
all Canadians, whether
the Liberals think so
or not.

Hi there, how goes your day? I really hope that
the rainy days are behind us. Sunshiny days would
really help. The problem is that the cutworms
would also love it and they’re doing just fine cutting
off my tomatoes, cucumbers and peas. A number of
gardeners are also complaining about the damage
they’re doing to their plants.
Woodmore Combines 4-H Club members,
leaders, parents and friends, approximately thirty
of them, set out for 4-H Highway cleanup last
Saturday. They picked up litter from Hwy 59 to
the Ridgeville corner. That’s quite a stretch. Hats
off to these young people who take time to improve
our environment.
There will be an Old Time Dance at the
Woodmore Hall on Friday, June 24th at 8 pm
featuring local musicians showing their talents. It’s
excellent music for either listening or dancing. All
are welcome to also enjoy a light lunch and coffee.
Birthday greetings go out to Glen Calder who
celebrated the Big 70 on June 6th.

Wednesday June 1
was Tim Horton’s Camp
Day at participating
restaurants across
Canada. The recently
opened Tim Horton’s
restaurant in Morris
chose to take part
in the event. This is

Foundation. This year,
across Canada the event
raised $12.6 million and
will provide camp for
19000 children.
Locally, Morris MLA
Shannon Martin was on
hand and helped serve
customers between 8:30

THE SOUTHEAST JOURNAL
“To the Point”
By Jeremy Bradley
Last Weekend's
Back-In-Time
Machine
Last weekend was a
double whammy for two
groups that have longed
to be viewed differently
by the public: women
and the gay/lesbian
community. But are two
key events holding back
these groups?
On Sunday, the flagwaving flamboyant
Pride parade happened
in Winnipeg and at night
Miss USA was crowned
following a gruelling
night of smiling, waving
and being objectified.
And if you have never
been to either event and
only judged it by what
you see on TV, those
could very well be your
sentiments.
‎I’ve never been
to Winnipeg’s Pride,
though I did cover
Jasper ’s and Puerto
Vallarta’s for radio
broadcasts a few years
ago. In Jasper it was
a very low-key event
that didn’t involve
rowdiness or a parade of
half-naked people and
drag queens flouncing
around. In fact, aside
from the odd rainbow
decoration you wouldn’t
have even known it was
a gay event.
There was a sense of
inclusion for everybody:
out-of-towners, locals,
gay, straight, ‎ w hite,
black. It had a real
community vibe. It was
more of a social thing. In
Jasper the saying was,
“It doesn’t matter who
you love, it matters that
you love.”
And in Mexico, yes,
the skin was showing
and the sexually charged
side of Pride was
definitely noticeable.
But it is antics like that
that make a lot of people
in the gay community
distance themselves
from such shenanigans.
“It’s a spectacle I
don’t believe in,” wrote
Charles in an email to
me. “It gives people
the impression that we
all prance around in
feathers and boas and
open-mouth kiss each
other for shock value.
Many of us are ashamed
to see how Pride is
portrayed.”
On the Miss USA
side of things we know
what those pageants
consist of: beauty, big
smiles and boobs.
“If you want viewers
to take these women
seriously, don’t have
a round where they
are rated from one to
10 based solely on
what they look like in
a bathing suit,” wrote
Samantha in an email.
“To see these people
answer questions about
world peace and racism
is laughable when
moments later they strut
back and forth posing
half-naked and a bunch
of ratings are flashed on
the screen.”
The argument can be
made that these beauty
pageant contestants are
more brain than bust
but the overall public
perception is they are
bimbos. I guess the story here
is that you will never
have an event that truly
represents the diversity
in our society. You’ll
always have people
who fall outside of the
expectation held by the
public.
We need to remember
that just because
someone belongs
to a certain group or
demographic they don’t
necessarily fit into the
cookie-cutter‎ image of
what we’re made to
think.
That’s my point.

Harvesting A Raindrop: No Tractor
Needed!
When it rains, water can’t soak into
Here in the Red River Valley,
when we hear the word harvest,
we immediately think of tractors,
combines and fields of crops. But
did you know that you could harvest
a raindrop and you don’t even need
a tractor?
Fresh water is a precious resource
and basic human need. The reality
is we cannot control where and how
much rain will fall in a given place
at a given time. These precious
raindrops when falling from the sky
either replenish the earth or roll off
the landscape. What we choose to
do with those rolling drops of rain
is important especially during dry
periods and droughts.

TJ TRUCKING
impervious surfaces like rooftops,
driveways, and roads. Instead, it
runs off into streets and storm sewers
creating stormwater. From our streets
to our streams, stormwater picks
up nutrients, dirt, salt, fertilizers,
pesticides, oil, bacteria, and garbage.
The Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) states that reducing
runoff is critical to minimizing the
impact our yards and gardens have
on the surrounding lakes and streams.
There are many ways to encourage
rainwater to soak into the ground. Or
you can capture rainwater for use in
your yard. Either way, stormwater is
reduced and our lakes and rivers stay
clean.
The MPCA suggests using rain
barrels and rain gardens to capture
and reuse the runoff. Rain gardens are
concave gardens that collect runoff
from downspouts or driveways.
Plants that tolerate “wet feet” should
be planted in the bottom, while plants
that need less water are planted on
the edges. Another way to reduce
runoff is to capture some of it with
rain barrels. Rain barrels also help
conserve water. They can be fancy
or simple, but the basic structure
is to have a barrel at the end of a
downspout. The barrel has a spigot
or hose that you can use to water
your garden or yard. Several home
improvement stores now sell rain
barrels or you can make your own.
The Southwest Florida Water
Management District suggested 8
other ways you can reduce stormwater
runoff:
Direct downspouts and gutters
onto your lawn and plant beds, or into
rain barrels, cisterns or containment
areas.
Use mulch, bricks, gravel or other
porous surfaces for walkways, patios
and driveways.
Sweep grass clippings, fertilizer
and soil onto the lawn so they don’t
get washed into storm drains.
Clean up oil spills and leaks on the
driveway. Use cat litter to absorb oil.
Pick up pet waste to help reduce
bacterial and nutrient pollution.
Remove trash from street gutters
before it gets washed into storm
drains.
Use swales (low areas) to hold and
filter water.
Using some or all of these
techniques will not only conserve
rainwater but also help keep our rivers
and streams clean by reducing runoff. Every raindrop matters. THE SOUTHEAST JOURNAL
Rinn's
Ramblings
by Weldon Rinn
I have the best job(s)
in the world…no,
writing for The South
East Journal (SEJ) is
fine, and Don is a great
editor (blatant suck-up)
but comes in a not-toodistant fourth to my
other jobs.
Yup, you read that
right, 4 JOBS! What a
lucky guy! One of my
main priorities, and job
number one, is, of course
my son, the light of my
life, Carter Rinn. But
that is not a job, it is a
privilege to be his father
and best buddy! Carter
is 16 now…where did
the time go? Although
a handful at times, and
a student who really
dislikes what my first
job represents we still
remain close and end
every talk or meeting
with a hug (virtual hugs
when Skyping) and
an “I luv ya”. Not to
get too moribund but
I encourage you all to
say that to your loved
ones more often…you
never know when, or
even if, you will get
that chance again and
there are many worse
ways to leave a last
impression, one that will
last a lifetime, eternity,
(or longer)!
Town of Morris
Box 28
1-380 Stampede Grounds
Morris, MB.

The Town of Morris would like to advise the public
that it plans to undertake a control program for adult
mosquitoes, through ultra low volume (ULV) fogging,
across the entire Town from June 23rd, 2016 through
to October 27th, 2016. Fogging will take place every
Thursday, between the hours of 11:00pm and 4:00am,
when mosquito tolerance levels have been surpassed
and weather is permitting.
The fogging program for adult mosquitoes excludes
private property and will be carried out along roadways,
parks, cemetery, campground and the baseball
diamonds/soccer pitch. Apiaries with beehives located
within less than 90 meters from the Town limits are
advised they may request a buffer zone for that
location.
Health Canada has concluded that the use of this
product, for adult mosquito control in residential areas
using ultra-low-volume application, will not pose a
health concern. People who wish to further reduce
their exposure to this pesticide can take additional
precautions including closing all windows and doors
prior to fogging, washing outdoor toys and furniture
after fogging is completed, and rinsing garden products
prior to consumption.
Property owners NOT wanting insecticides applied on
or adjacent to their principal residence may register a
buffer zone with the Town of Morris. A buffer zone of 90
meters on either side of the objectors property in the
front street, side street and rear lane will be established
in which fogging equipment will be turned off. To
register a buffer zone please call 204.746.2531 or
visit the Town Office at 1-380 Stampede Grounds in
Morris, MB. Please include your full name and civic
address and contact information in the request. Buffer
zone registration deadline will be Wednesday, June
22, 2016.
My number two
job is TEACHING of
course! You can’t even
really call it a job as it
doesn’t really feel like
a job, at least 99% of
the time, it is, what is
it really? You spend
nearly your whole day
surrounded by children,
bonus…you help coach
and mentor these
young eager minds…
bonus…you are kept
up-to-date on the latest
music, movie, fashion
and other new trending
phenomenon! Even
the lingo (notice the
use of “trending” in the
previous sentence). Not
to mention technology.
Well to be truthful,
at the technology that
interests them, not the
technology we have
to teach them as our
technology MS Office,
Internet usage for
research, and typing
isn’t quite met with
the enthusiasm as
MineCraft, Halo, and
the myriad of other
games (downloadable
and online) that seem to
be much more enticing
than the technology we
use in our computer
labs, laptops, and other
devices we use on a
daily in-school basis.
Not to mention the
plethora of memes,
cool videos, and of
course, Facebook and
Youtube! However, it
is not just the students
but the comraderie
and interaction with
colleagues that also
make teaching more
than a job or career
June 9, 2016 Pg 10
but a labour of love…
except at report card
times, when meting out
discipline, sugar-laden
pre-holiday school
days (think Halloween,
sugar, and about 25
kids, all in a small room,
with you…you get the
picture), and of course,
JUNE!
Nope, all that aside,
NUMERO UNO, sorry
for yelling there but I get
that excited, daily, about
teaching. For those
who don’t know, typing
in capital letters and
bold font is considered
yelling…FYI.
Number 3 is driving
for Piston Ring (my
summer “past-time”)
in the City of Winnipeg
or in the rural areas
where I first started
this, my second career.
Delivering auto parts to
many happy customers
all day long and of
course the chatting
and interactions with
them is priceless and
very enjoyable. Not to
mention you just show
up, are handed your
orders, and then you
pick your favourite radio
station or tunes and off
you go, great way to
spend a summer day and
meet new people, every
day…
Volunteering is my
fourth favourite job
(obligation really, nay
hobby…). Volunteering
is a choice, a great way
to spend leisure time,
also a great way to meet
new people and just
plain enjoyable as I get
to spend most of my
time volunteering with
my son so it is a bit of an
over-lap with my main
reasons for living, yes
my boy!
So, once June ends,
and Bomber season
is in full swing for us
Fan Ambassadors, and
Piston Ring issues my
summer schedules then
I can combine 3 of my
favourite jobs while I
recharge my batteries
until September and I
can boldly go into my
favourite responsibility,
TEACHING!
On a side note
this picture, drawing,
caricature if you will, is
me, as I appear to one
of my students. Isn’t
it darling! And such
a good likeness! This
kid has talent, no doubt!
Teaching sometimes
reminds me of the old
Art Linkletter show,
“Kids Say the Darndest
Things” (link below)…
those of you under, oh,
likely 30 or 35 will have
to Google the name and
show for more details.
I have been called
Dad, Mom, Gramma,
Grampa, and a few other
things in my teaching
career. The other day
I got a first…HONEY!
Can you believe it…
Mind you the student
did say it was a term of
endearment directed at a
laptop…I beg to differ,
ahhh, my students love
me, and I them…gotta
ramble, take care all you
honeys!
