Concern Over Souris River Project Eyed by Schreyer
Premier Ed Schreyer voiced Manitoba concerns Friday about the Garrison Diversion irrigation project in North Dakota. He warned a similar Colorado River fate could push saline water across the border, harming agriculture and the Souris river system feeding into the Assiniboine near Portage la Prairie. He noted ongoing protests from Canada and calls in the U.S. to halt the project. Health minister Walter Smishek announced Saskatchewan will spend 850,000 this year to fund rural doctors bursaries, rising to 4.6 million next year, with 580 Sask. graduates and about 100 locals still practicing.

Will Rogers quotes in new book spark political debate
Will Rogers remarks from decades past are cited in Will Rogers The Man and His Times by Richard Ketchum amid discussions on current politics. In Manitoba, Souris uses Souris River water, Portage la Prairie relies on Assiniboine River, and saline runoff could harm supplies. An Ann Arbor duck named Desdemona adopted by Patrick Welsh behaves like a mother, guiding her to the Huron River for food and exercise while awaiting a drake to awaken maternal instincts.
