Hillcrest restores stained glass window

The signature stained glass window that was part of the allure of the unique home built by Squire Sowden in the early 1900s was suffering the effects of time when volunteers decided to spend the money it would take to have it restored to its original grandeur. After months of tedious work, Prairie Stained Glass and School of Craft Limited has completed the task and reinstalled the spectacular window in its original location. PHOTOS/DEBBIE BUTLER

submitted When Fred Sowden built Hillcrest back in 1910, most of the windows were designed to include stained glass in the upper part of them. The signature window was a circular one, approximately 43” in diametre, in the parlour on the west side of the building. This unique window was made entirely of stained glass with the picture of a sailing ship in the centre. Except for an errant baseball that knocked out the centre part a few years ago, the window has

stood the test of time. However, last year we noticed that some of the stained glass was pulling away from the leading and the window was starting to bow inward. Fearing that the window would collapse and be lost, the Board decided that something had to be done to save it. Not knowing where to start, it was recommended to us that we contact Prairie Stained Glass in Winnipeg, a company well known for their stained glass restorations. They gave us the option

of repairing or restoring the window but given its age and condition, they recommended that it be restored. It was going to cost twice as much to restore it but in the long-term interest of the Museum, we felt that it was the way to go. Prairie Stained Glass removed the window back in December and completely restored it over the winter. It came apart in almost 500 pieces and they tell us they were able to use almost all of the original stained glass when putting it back together. The window was reinstalled last week. Thanks to the generosity of individuals and organizations in and around our community, we have received many donations supporting the cost of the restoration. We have applied to the Community Places Program for a grant to cover half the cost and are waiting to receive their decision. We now have a window that will last another 100 years. The Museum Board is planning an official unveiling of the new window.

Concert will kick off summer in Souris

by Glen Kirby A former pro hockey player-turned-singer hits the stage Saturday night in Souris, an unofficial start to the summer of 2016. BC native Chad Brownlee has three album to his credit, won the 2011 Canadian Country Music Association Rising Star Award and received two Juno nominations in 2013. Despite his good music and good looks, ticket sales have been slow. One week before Brownlee’s performance at the Souris Glenwood Memorial Complex, organizers reported that fewer than 250 tickets had been sold. “We’re well short of where we want to be,” said Darryl Jackson earlier this week. “But people

around here decide to go at the last-minute.” As chair of the concert organizing committee, Jackson remains optimistic that Brownlee will draw a thousand people, rivalling the attendance for Doc Walker and Aaron Pritchett shows in 2014. Last year’s concert featuring country singer Beverley Mahood, scheduled to coincide with the annual Souris Fair and Rodeo in July, drew less than 350 people. This year, organizers are gambling that the Victoria Day weekend won’t negatively impact ticket sales. Meantime, preparations continue in Souris for the 2016 tourist season with new signage planned at key locations

and a tourist information centre at The Plum Museum. “There’s a positive vibe,” says Economic Development Officer Lon Turner about the upcoming summer. “We’re still recovering from the flood (of 2011) but there’s more activity in town this year compared to last.” Pending final approval from the Souris Glenwood Community Development Corporation and the local Beautification Committee, several new signs will be installed to help guide and educate tourists. “We’re working on a new welcome sign for the corner of Highways 2 and 250,” says Turner. “The 4’x8’ sign will be located at the southeast corner by the flower gar-

den and face northwest. It will help direct people to the downtown.” Smaller signs are planned at destination points in Souris and should be in-place in June. The Plum Museum will serve as Tourist Info Centre this season, thanks to a Federal Government grant to cover staffing. Turner says applications are being accepted from students until May 27 to fill two full-time jobs. A part-time position may also be added. Last fall, the president of the volunteer group managing The Plum warned that the landmark attraction would not open in 2016 unless more people stepped up to help. The Plum is the oldest public building remaining in Souris and a designated Municipal Heritage Site. Turner is optimistic that tourist numbers at The Plum, Hillcrest Museum and Souris Railway Museum will increase this year. He notes that school tours booked for June have already exceeded 2015. “We did more advertising this year,” says Turner, “And that’s paying off.” The Museums will open for tours in June and begin daily operation in July.

Highlighted calls for service in Souris RCMP area were as follows: May 11th, police were notified that several youth were seen taking a “bridge out” sign from Victoria Park and throwing it in the river. The caller said that the youth were now gone. A second call the next day, named a suspect. Police are investigating. May 12th, we were advised of an attempted scam. A letter was received by a Souris senior stating that she may be eligible to claim $6.8 million dollars from a deceased relative. It also had: very poor grammar, conflicting addresses on the letter and envelope, and a line that stated to keep this private. The potential victim brought this to her daughter to review, who immediately notified the police. Keep talking to each other about scams! May 14th, Souris RCMP responded to a sudden death in the Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa. No foul play is suspected. The Souris Detachment is closed on May 23rd & 26th. Call 9-1-1 for emergencies. Fraud Alert: Part 12 Small Business Scams Scams that target small businesses can come in a variety of forms – from bills for advertising or direc-

tory listings that were never ordered to dubious office supply offers. Small business operators with their own internet sites can be caught by unsolicited letters warning them that their domain name is about to expire or a proposal for a subscription disguised as an update of an existing listing in a business directory. Protect yourself: • Make sure that the people processing the invoices or answering phone calls are aware of these scams. They will post often be the point of contact for the scammers. • Don’t agree to a business proposal over the phone – always ask for an offer in writing. Limit the number of people in your business that have access to funds and have authority to approve purchases. • Effective management procedures can go a long way towards preventing these scams from succeeding. Have clearly defined procedures for the verification, payment and management or accounts and invoices is an effective defense against these scams. • Ask yourself: If a caller claims that I have ordered or authorized something and I do not think it sounds right, shouldn’t I ask for proof?

On Wednesday, May 11, our Cribbage players used five tables. Deb Robinson and Evelyn Harlton finished the evening with the highest score. Marnie Heath with Pearl Marshall took second place and the third prize was claimed by Betty Devins with Joan Phillips. The winning number on the 50-50 draw belonged to Mona Canning. It was disappointing to see only 13 people come out to play Bingo on Thursday, May 12. Of course, even with a small crowd, some people made more noise than most. Doreen Edgars was the loudest with four shouts. Close behind her with three hollers were Darlene Dooley and Jack Rose. Double yells came from Joan Phillips and Marge Rose. Lil Atchison saved her voice and called only on the Little House to receive $21. It would appear that we do not have many superstitious people in town as our meat draw on Friday, May 13, drew a fair-sized crowd. As it was last week, multiple winners were few. Marion Morris was the only one able to collect two meat packages. Larry Neilson held the lucky ticket on the 5050 draw to get $72. Norma Dodd won the chance to take home $319.50 by picking the Ace of Spades. This she did not do, so someone will be able to try next week. We were offered meat loaf with mushroom gravy, oven-roasted veggies, salad and dessert, for a late meal.

Souris employee recognized at Pembina Co-op AGM submitted Pembina Consumers Co-op (2000) Ltd (“Pembina Co-op”) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in St. Leon May 11. Chaired by Co-op president, Marc Grenier, the meeting saw an attendance of over 60 members and included reports from the Board of Directors and the General Manager, a financial report for the 2015 Operations, the elections of officers and the appointment of auditors. Reported by Board of Directors members Kevin Cutting and Carla Pouteau, Pembina Co-op achieved a new record in sales of $129.2 million in the 2015 year, an increase of $1.9 million from lastyear’s record, with a local savings of $3.24 million, up from $2.57 million in the previous year. Pembina Co-op members will share in this success as they receive a patronage allocation of approximately $5.02 million.

During the past year, the Board authorized $4.64 million in cash repayments to its members. Over $5 million was spent on new assets, including two fertilizer warehouses at Swan Lake and Baldur and a seed treating facility in St. Leon. Construction has begun in Souris for the new Home Centre to open in late 2016 and Federated Co-operatives Limited (“FCL”) will begin construction in June of a new corporate bulk fuel plant in Swan Lake to upgrade the current facili-

ties. Pembina Co-op continues to support many community organizations as part of its commitment to social responsibility, including the sponsorship of students to attend the Co-op Leadership Camp, a $1,000 scholarship for students entering a trades program for construction, not to mention working with many community groups to promote local events such as bonspiels, tournaments, fairs and community celebrations. Total donations for the past year exceeded $72,000. The Board of Directors recently approved a donation matching initiative up to $2,500 for donations made by its members to the Canadian Red Cross in relief aid towards the Fort McMurray and area wildfires. Members are encouraged to ask their local Pembina Co-op retail for details. Dale Pouteau, Pembina Co-op’s General Manager, reported on the four commodity lines of petroleum, crop inputs, general merchandise and food, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of each, along with the plans for the coming year. The budget for 2016 projects sales of $135.9 million with a local savings of $2.58 million and a net savings of $7.58 million. There will be a continued investment in facilities with $3.6 million planned capital expenditures in the upcoming year. Monique Martel, office manager, reviewed the audited statement for the 2015 operations. The Coop’s net savings of $7.91 million included savings of $3.24 million from local operations and a patronage refund from FCL of $4.67 million. The Coop’s balance sheet remains strong with members’

equity and reserves representing 73.4% of the Coop’s total assets. Numerous employees were recognized for reaching service milestones during the past 12 months.

The meeting adjourned with president Marc Grenier thanking the management and staff of Pembina Co-op for their dedication and to the members’ continued support in making 2015 another very successful year. “By supporting a business you own, you benefit by sharing in the profits of the company, and your community benefits by maintaining a valuable service”.

Some Words To think About Nowadays, we recognize lots of things by their trademark. like cars, banks, clothing. It’s nice to know that we each have our own particular trademark, too; the way we smile, our readiness to help, our patience in difficult situations. That is the way those around us think about us and remember us. TIPS: Put a few flakes of mothballs into the garbage can to neutralize odours and keep out insects. Place cucumber peels on the kitchen counters and windowsills to keep ants out. Crumbled bay leaves placed in a cupboard will discourage insects. Red pepper or salt sprinkled on counters and across doors and windows is a barrier for ants. Also sprinkle around some corn meal inside or outside to kill off ants. It is harmful to them but not to people or pets. That’s all for this week. Take care and we hope to hear from you soon.

Some pay more, some less in new Municipal budget by Glen Kirby Road paving, upgrades at the Community Hall and a $250,000 fix-up to Municipal offices are big ticket items in the new Souris-Glenwood budget, which also decreases mill rates for both town and rural residents. “I’m very pleased,” said Mayor Darryl Jackson following last Thursday’s public meeting in Council chambers. “I think this budget is pretty fair.” Despite the drop in mill rates, your property taxes may still increase if the assessed value of your land and buildings is more today than in 2015. Assessments to determine current market values, conducted by the provincial government, have hiked the value of some rural properties by more than 60%. Properties within the Town of Souris have been re-valued anywhere from 12-45% higher. Homeowners with anything more than a 15% increase in their assessment will pay more taxes, based on a review conducted by the Plaindealer using information provided by the Municipality and the Provincial Government. “There will be some winners and some losers,” admits Jackson, who faces a 20% rise in the assessed value of his home and will pay more Municipal taxes in 2016. Municipal administration reviewed seven homes within the Town of Souris and found the average tax

increase will be $35.80/year. Two commercial properties reviewed showed an average drop of more than $500/year over 2015. A similar check on eight rural properties with a mix of commercial, residential and agricultural zoning found an average tax hike of $16.79/year. Spending highlights in the 2016 Financial Plan include $465,000 for paving and road repair within Souris, including repaving 3rd Avenue West adjacent to the Arena, paving curves in the new Forrest Avenue subdivision, paving the gravel road known as 6th Street South and applying a seal coat over Crescent Avenue to extend the life of that roadway. $100,000 has been committed to reconstructing gravel roads in the Glenwood district. Council is hoping to sweeten that pot with a $100,000 matching grant but the status is uncertain following the change of Provincial government in April. The Souris & Glenwood Civic Centre, on Second Street South across from the post office, will see a quarter-million facelift. Jackson says Council chambers will be relocated from the basement to the main floor to increase accessibility and the south side of the building will be modernized. The Souris Glenwood Memorial Complex will receive $20,000 from local taxpayers to modernize the Hall’s kitchen and washrooms. At last week’s public meeting, Council also hacked the discount

given to property owners who pre-pay taxes before the October 31 deadline. Previously, discounts were 1.5% for pre-payment in July, 1% in August and 0.5% in September. Beginning this fall, the discount is 1% in July and 0.5% in August. A late-payment penalty of 1.25% still applies.

Glacier Media donates to Red Cross efforts in Fort McMurray The JuneWarren-Nickle’s Energy Group (JWN) and its parent company, Glacier Media, are donating $50,000 toward Red Cross efforts in Fort McMurray. The donation is also on behalf of other individual Glacier business units, which will undertake their own awareness and fundraising efforts to help the city and its residents rebuild their community and their lives, said Bill Whitelaw, JWN president and Glacier executive vice-president. Glacier, as one of Canada’s leading media and information services companies, has also created an integrated crowdfunding campaign, with all proceeds going the Red Cross efforts, at www.fundaid.ca/fortmac. Glacier is deeply involved in communities across western Canada with community newspapers and business information services, noted Tim Shoults, Glacier’s vice-president of content and audience development. “This way, we can rally our readers, our customers and our communities to get behind the Red Cross efforts in a way that allows contributions of all sizes,” explained Shoults. From an energy perspective, it’s important for Canadians from coast to coast to have a sense beyond the headlines of how important Fort McMurray is to the overall Canadian economy, Whitelaw said.

“It’s just not an Alberta dynamic... all Canadians need to step up and help get this engine running on all cylinders again, putting people, companies and their welfare front and centre,” said Whitelaw. “Canada’s oilsands sector is a key part of our energy practice at JWN... we know these companies and these communities well. Like all other organizations that have stepped up with support, we want these folks to know we have their back.” JWN produces the Oilsands Review and Oilsands Navigator as part of a broad portfolio of oilsands products and services. “As with our industry association partners such as the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and Petroleum Services Association of Canada, we’re putting our contribution toward the Red Cross, the ensure the dollars we donate get amplified through provincial and federal contributions,” he added. Glacier’s other business practices in mining, agriculture, environmental services and community media are also stepping up to keep the challenges Fort McMurray and the area faces in the coming weeks and months in terms of awareness, explained Whitelaw. “In one way or another, all of our businesses touch Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo. Besting the fire was just the first among many challenges still to come.”

OBITUARY

Gerald Robert (Gerry) Fortin Gerald Robert (Gerry) Fortin was born on January 20, 1960 to Rene and the late Simone Fortin of the Souris-Elgin area, the third of four children. Gerry attended Elgin and Souris Schools, and then spent a little time at Cor Enterprises in Brandon. From there he moved to Ninette, where he has been at home for most of the past 30 years, first at the Pelican Lake Training Centre, then at Southwest Community Options. While in Ninette, Gerry was fortunate to try out many new things: Some artistic and craft projects, some sports through the Special Olympics Program and curling and bowling, as well as some jobs like his paper route and his job at the Ninette Motor Inn. Gerry loved people, especially children, and he loved to tease. His giggles were infectious! He also loved animals of all kinds, especially his cat Suzie, and his family and friends, and especially those who have worked with him over the past many years. He enjoyed the special efforts of so many who took him home for such things as quad rides and visits with their families. A trip to Toronto let Gerry see his favourite team in action - the Toronto Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs, both of which he followed on TV. He also enjoyed watching his nephews play hockey whenever he could. In 2015, Gerry was fortunate to travel to Las Vegas. On March 26, 2016, Gerry passed away suddenly in Killarney.

Page 7, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, May 20, 2016 Positive weight gain I remember a day in hockey when everyone wanted to draft a 6’2”, 200 lb. hockey player. It didn’t matter a whole lot how talented they were or if they could move, size is what mattered. The evolution of hockey, plus athletics as a whole, knows size isn’t all that matters. It is only one attribute of many. Often times, when a family enters the gym for the initial assessment for the first time a common concern is wanting to put on weight. We have an in-depth conversation about it, with one question that I need to be answered - why? Why do you want your son or daughter to gain weight? How do you think it will benefit you in sports? The majority of us should not be focused on weight but on the body we were given through genetics. Two reasons most players want to gain weight is to improve athletic performance or physical appearance. Gaining mass is a part of sport because it has the ability to absorb stress, prevent injuries, become stronger, and give you an advantage. You just have to do it in the right way. The right way would be gaining muscle, as the old adage goes “muscle weighs more than fat”. Therefore, a combination of resistance training and nutrition are vital. Here’s a few things to think of when trying to gain weight: What are kilocalories? Energy is measured in kilocalories (kcals or calories) and is the work required to raise 1 kg of water to 1 degree Celsius. The number of calories an athlete needs depends on many factors such as body size, training demands, sport demands, and age. What does the timeline for weight gain look like? Muscle tissue is comprised of approximately 70% water, 22% protein, and 8% fatty acids/glycogen. If you are monitoring caloric intake specifically for muscle growth, you will need to consume 2,500 extra kcals per every extra pound. 2,500 would be the recommended weekly range of kcals, thus one should consume 350 – 700 kcals above their normal daily requirements. This would support a 1-2 lbs weekly gain as well as provide for the energy requirements from your resistance training program. In order to increase muscle mass, you will need to focus on increasing your protein intake. Your body needs 1.2-2.0 grams of protein per kilogram (g/kg) per day. If trying to gain mass, you will need to be on the higher side of the 1.2 – 2.0 g/kg. How do I increase calories? You need to eat or drink 350 to 700 extra kcals each day to gain about 1-2 pounds each week. The following are some ways to add extra calories to your diet in a healthy manner: Eat every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day and within the 30-minute window after you exercise. Do not miss a meal! Every day make sure to eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and even a bedtime snack with larger portions to increase daily caloric intake. For breakfast try to eat high-calorie cereals, such as granola and cereals that contain nuts or whole-grain carbohydrates, such as whole wheat bread and bagels. Add peanut butter, margarine, jam, or honey for extra kcals. Read labels. For example, granola has 500 kcals

compared to Cheerios with 100 kcals. Add high-calorie foods for extra kilocalories such as cheese, peanut butter, avocado, nuts, and granola. These foods are high in (healthy) fats, and can be a positive addition because they are calorie-dense. When cooking using canola or olive oil will also add extra calories. Cook chicken or fish in a small amount of canola/olive oil. Red meats (beef/pork) have more calories, but they also have more saturated fat. Saturated fat is an unhealthy type of fat because it may increase blood cholesterol. As you can tell, nutrition plays a huge role in increasing muscle and weight gain. The next part is the resistance training. In order to gain muscle mass, you need increase training volumes to increase muscular size. In numbers sense, you will need to do 6-12 repetitions at 70-85% of your one rep maximum. Many

strength coaches do not do one rep maxes, but that is how it described in its literature. You want to find a resistance that you can do 6-12 times, for 3-4 sets, with 60-90 seconds rest in between. When training you will have to pay attention to one last factor. There will be a big difference between if you are using larger muscle groups versus training smaller muscle groups. If you doing exercises such as a squat which incorporate many muscles, your energy expenditure will go up, but if you are using smaller muscle groups such as a seated shoulder press, your energy expenditure will be less.
