Commercial lots available

Council for the Municipality of Souris Glenwood is spearheading a campaign to create new business opportunities by marketing a commercial incentive grant and has released commercial lots for sale at a low purchase price. The goal is to attract new businesses to the Municipality that will in turn create jobs and increase the tax base. Pictured is a view of some of the $15,000 lots that are available on Aspen Avenue.

Stimulating growth through business incentives by Darci Semeschuk If you’re looking to grow your community, attract new businesses, and increase jobs, the best way to do that is to make it easier for them to thrive. The Municipality of Souris Glenwood, through the Community Development Corporation (CDC), is looking to do just that through the Commercial Incentive Grant. Souris Glenwood Economic Development Ofﬁcer (EDO), Lon Turner, is working on the project and believes that by offering commercial incentive grants, individuals who are contemplating opening a new business or expanding an existing business will take the plunge with a little extra help. “Our goal at the CDC is to

stimulate new commercial services, help to create new jobs, and expand the tax base,” explained Turner when discussing the commercial incentive program. “If we can do that by helping a new business get established, that might bring in new people for new jobs, and that increases your population.” The details of the commercial business incentives vary between the type of project, the size and scope of the application. They are available on a three to ﬁve year term. One major point taken under consideration would be the number of jobs created. The same goes for businesses that wish to expand. There is a list of criteria that would be considered before

any incentive is arranged. “For those wishing to expand their existing business, this grant wouldn’t be for renovations or upgrades such as lighting or something like that,” explained Turner. “This is for an actual expansion that would see new jobs created.” Turner realizes that there will be many questions that applicants will have. Each application will be considered on its own merit and dealt with on a individual basis. The ﬁrst step is to contact Turner at the CDC. Once an application is received, it is forwarded to the property development committee who review it and after careful consideration, will forward it to the Municipal Council along with

their recommendations. According to Turner, the Municipality has open arms when it comes to commercial development and expansion. “Increasing and improving your business community and with that, increasing your tax base, it’s good for everyone,” stated Turner. Turner wants to be clear that this is for businesses moving forward. Nothing will be considered retroactively. You got an idea, bring it to us. The CDC is funded through Municipal, Provincial, and Federal programs. The Board meets on a monthly basis at the Civic Centre. Other subcommittees such as the Business Development Board

and Tourism meet on a need be basis. In addition to the commercial incentive grant program, the Municipality is offering a number of commercial lots for sale at an attractive price. These are on municipal owned property, Aspen Avenue and Lorne Street. Sale price is $15,000 per lot plus GST and are subject to details set out in Municipal Offer to Purchase Agreement.

Highlighted calls for service in Souris RCMP area were as follows: April 2 • Police were called to a local bar with reports that a fight had broken out. Members attended but were unable to identify both parties. Subject of complaint would not make a statement or advise Police who he was fighting. He was sent home and complied.

Police are reminding people to never give out personal information until it has been verified

as legitimate. April 11 • Police were called to a local residence after reports that a work truck had a white, powered substance poured into the gas tank.

Souris Donor’s Choice Tops $1,000,000 Since it’s inception in 1996, Souris District Donor’s Choice has distributed over $1 million dollars ($1,052,577 to be exact) to local, regional and national charities. With the 2017 town-wide canvass around the corner (April 24 - 28), the Donor’s Choice Committee is anxiously waiting to see if the 2017 campaign will bring the average back up. 2016 saw a $10,000 slump at $47,120 compared to the previous year, which was deemed very successful at $57, 278. Donor’s Choice allows individuals to make one donation to 25 charities represented by Souris District Donor’s Choice. 100% of all funds collected go directly to the charities. The amounts assigned by the donors are distributed accordingly to each of the charities at the Donor’s Choice Annual General Meeting, which is held every November. Why use Donor’s Choice? It used to be quite common and annoying for individual charities to go door-to-door to solicit dona-

tions. Many communities have adopted the Donor’s Choice model as it allows individuals to make one contribution to several charities. Donation forms were distributed in mailboxes last week, however, those who do not allow fliers will not be receiving the donation form as it is considered a flier. Those people who didn’t receive the form in their mailbox can download it off of the Town of Souris website or pick up one at the Souris Big Way. The deadline for donations is September 30, 2017. There are three options for returning completed forms during the door-to-door canvass (April 24 - 28), at a designated drop off location or by mail to the address listed on the form. The door-to-door canvas is done by representatives from all of the charities represented which include locally: Souris Library, Seniors Organized Services of Souris Valley, Souris Daycare, Souris Food Bank, Souris Heritage Club, Firefighters Special Equipment Fund, Souris Glenwood

Foundation, Health Auxiliary Special Equipment Fund, Palliative Care Committee, Hillcrest Museum, and the Souris Fellowship Club. Regional & National charities represented include: Alzheimer Society-Westman, Canadian Cancer Society, Mental Health Assoc.-Westman, Canadian National Institute of the Blind, Canadian Red Cross, Child & Family Services-Westman), Canadian Diabetes Assoc. , Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation-Westman, Elks & Royal Purple Fund for Children, Heart & Stroke Manitoba, Kidney Foundation-Westman, MS Society-Westman, Society for Manitobans with Disabilities-Westman and Special Olympics Westman. The Committee is made up of volunteer members: Ken Wiebe (chair), Shannon Kohut (vice-chair), Rhonda Williams (treasurer), Bev McGregor (secretary), Roxy Kowalchuk (campaign chair) and Lisa Tosh (public relations). Please contact a Committee member should you have any questions or if you’d like to get involved.

The annual Souris Donor’s Choice Campaign was held this past week. Since 1996, over $1 million has been distributed by the organization. Organizers are hoping to see the average back up for 2017 as 2016 saw a decline of approximately $10,000.

Souris Glenwood Foundation Report submitted 2016 was a successful year for the Souris Glenwood Foundation (SGF). Increasing awareness of the Foundation’s work in our community was the Board’s main focus throughout the year. The Board is grateful for the Donor’s Choice donations of $2,764 and for all personal and “In Memoriam” donations received. On June 22, at the Souris School Graduation, three scholarships were awarded for a total amount of $2,550. In the spring of 2016, the Foundation continued their fundraising project of lawn fertilizer sales. This project will continue this spring. On November 10, the Foundation, along with MNP, held an informative coffee party at Murphy’s Restaurant. Matt Bolley, a tax specialist with MNP, presented information on tax incentives on donations, planned giving, and designated gifts in a will. For a second year, the SGF participated in the Endow Manitoba 24 Hour Giving Challenge. This endeavour resulted in your Foundation receiving $13,855. In December, at the Souris District Arts Council Concert, annual grants totalling $5,500 were awarded to seven community projects. “Your gift goes on giving forever in our community” During 2016 the Souris Glenwood Foundation re-

ceived a very large donation from the Pauline Hardy estate. The cash received was in excess of $200,000. The funds will be invested for the benefit of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and the Souris Health District. The funds will be invested with the investment income granted annually. The Foundation received some Mines and Mineral Rights as well. The Foundation is very grateful to Mrs. Hardy for her tremendous gift. Her gift will contribute to St. Mary’s and the Health District for many years. The Foundation is pleased to discuss any estate planning ideas with you. Endow Manitoba 24 Hour Giving Challenge An initiative of the Winnipeg Foundation was the “November 19 Endow Manitoba.” On this day, gifts made to Manitoba Foundations were augmented by a contribution from the Winnipeg Foundation. For every $5 given, the Winnipeg Foundation added $1, up to a maximum of $2,000 per Foundation. On November 17, an information table was set up at the Souris Civic Centre with members present to answer questions and to receive donations. From cheques and online donations, the Souris Glenwood Foundation received $11,855. The Winnipeg Foundation then added $2,000 (the maximum amount) to these funds. A

total of $13,855 came back to the Souris Glenwood Foundation. The Endow Manitoba 24 Hour Giving Challenge will take place again in Souris and across the province in November 2017. The Thomas Sill Foundation Challenge The Thomas Sill Foundation Challenge provided an incentive for all interested foundations to raise $50,000 over an eighteenmonth period. The Thomas Sill Foundation would contribute 50% of funds raised up to $25,000. If, for example, any foundation raised $50,000 the Sill Foundation would contribute $25,000. From April 21, 2015, to October 21, 2016, the Souris Glenwood Foundation received $35,277 from personal and “In Memoriam” donations, Donor’s Choice donations, and profits from lawn fertilizer fundraiser. Therefore, The Thomas Sill Foundation contributed $17,639 to the Souris Glenwood Foundation for our participation in their eighteen-month challenge. Foundation Board members include Darryl Jackson, Darcy Gerow, Andy Barclay, Greg Harasymchuk, Harvey Veldhouse, Lois Brown, Sandy Sanderson, Barb Falloon, Glen Tosh, and Glenda McConnell. Donations are gratefully accepted throughout the year

St. Paul’s United Church organ and its 100 years

In 1897, the Presbyterian congregation in Souris built a fine new church, Knox Church, two blocks west of where St. Paul’s stands today. The main auditorium was graced by a beautiful stained glass window and had a seating capacity of 450. In 1906, the Junior Ladies’ Aid Society began to raise funds for “an instrument that would add a touch of beauty to the interior of the church and a richer tone to the services of worship”. These young ladies worked tirelessly holding bazaars and other events until, 10 years later, they had raised enough money ($3,000) to

purchase this organ. The following year, their gift of a magnificent two-manual, twelve-stop pipe organ had been built and was installed by the Casavant Freres of St. Hyacinthe, Quebec. On December 2, 1917, it was dedicated to the Glory of God in memory of the 12 men of the congregation who had given their lives in the Great War. On December 5, the opening recital was held to a capacity crowd, with many being turned away. Fifth Avenue Methodist Church had been built in 1907 and dedicated in 1908, with a seating capacity of 250. In 1925, when the

United Church was formed from the union of the Presbyterians, the Methodists, and the Congregationalists, Knox Presbyterian became Knox United and Fifth Avenue Methodist became Fifth Avenue United. The two churches were only two blocks apart. In 1938, the West Church (Knox) and the East Church (Fifth Avenue) joined together, with one minister serving the joint congregation. By 1945, a decision was made to use the East Church as the permanent location going forward. The pipe organ was then to be moved from Knox Church to its new location. When it came time to move the organ, a half-dozen men, including former choir member Carl Styles, carefully dismantled the organ pipes and loaded them onto Wilf Patrick’s truck, which had been swept clean of all traces of coal dust. Blankets and tarps were wrapped around them to be transported to the Fifth Avenue Church. Under the close supervision of the organist at the time, the pipes were carried into the church and laid out across the pews in the exact order that they had been removed. Then the work of rebuilding began. In Knox Church, the oak panelling with 50 pipes was in two sections, one on either side at the front of the church with the organ con-

2017 DOG LICENSES ARE DUE:

MUNICIPALITY OF SOURIS-GLENWOOD BY-LAW No. 1780 states: “The owner of every dog must register such dog”. License will be issued upon proof of rabies vaccination. Cost is $10.00 per dog until April 30, after that the cost increases to $20.00 per dog.

sole in the middle. When it was reassembled in the East Church, the two sections were placed together – the left section with the door from Knox Church was placed on the right side. The oak panelling and pipes fit perfectly into the Choir Loft as if they were meant to be there, and the organ was set into the floor of the loft. In May 1946, the two congregations, now one, chose the new name for the East Church, formerly Fifth Avenue, soon to become St. Paul’s United Church. On Sunday morning, December 15, 1946, the opening and rededication of St. Paul’s was held with Rev. C.S. Matchett as minister. Following the prayer of dedication, Mrs. Seaby sang Bless This House and the choir sang Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus. During that year, contributions were received towards a proposed installation of organ chimes. The chimes were bought secondhand through an advertisement in the United Church Observer, and installed by the Franklin Legge Organ Company of Toronto at a cost of $1,150. The chimes were placed within the cabinet work of the organ and

played from the keyboard of the console. They could be played with organ accompaniment or alone. These

chimes had a range of almost two octaves and gave the effect of 20 to 30 bells. Continued on page 8

all over Souris. On the Sunday following the rededication of St. Paul’s, these chimes were dedicated in memory of the 16 men of the congregation who had made the supreme sacrifice in World War ll. By 1962, renovations were needed to change the mechanical operation of the air passage to the pipes from a manual to an electric mode. This change in the key switching did not alter the aspect of the pipe organ in any way. Every note and tone is reproduced by the passage of air through a pipe. There is no sound reproduced electronically whatsoever. Former St. Paul’s organist Gert Adair (mother to Orla Maitland and Linda Deleau) wrote: “Many of the churches today have abandoned their pipe organs and replaced them with electronic organs. St. Paul’s is one of the few churches that is equipped with an authentic pipe organ. The magnificent quality of the pipe organ cannot be duplicated electronically. The pipe organ is a vanishing instrument, and this organ in our church should be admired and looked upon with pride by everyone.” Keeping the organ in good repair has been a challenge. Until the early 1990’s, two men from Winnipeg came out to service it. But when they no longer came, Golden Eagle Organ Company of Saskatoon was recommended to Glenda McConnell, St. Paul’s organist, for much of the past 40 years. Glenda did some research and was convinced that they could provide the service we needed. The owner and technician, Bill Thurmeier, had been a monk in his past and had developed a serious interest in organs, building an organ from scratch and taking courses on organ repair. For the past eight years, Bill has worked on bringing the organ back to peak form. Bill cleaned, repaired, disassembled and reassembled many things on our pipe organ with meticulous workmanship and unbelievable patience! Some of the work requires that he get down in the ‘hole’ beneath the organ, so thankfully he is a slim and agile person. Some repairs need to be done to the inner workings behind the panelling. He now also has the chimes in good working condition, as they have not been operable since 1962. We are very grateful for his expertise. Obviously, these repairs needed a specialist, and this organ has been expensive to repair, costing approximately $32,000 over the past nine years. Many thanks go to the congregation of St. Paul’s and the community that supported their fundraisers, to people who made donations to the organ in memory of Elmer Webster, to the Organ Fund at the church to which many contributed, and for grants from the Thomas Sill Foundation, the Cropo Foundation, and the Souris Glenwood Community Foundation. A concert to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this 1917 Casavant Freres Opus 727 organ, and the people who made it possible, will be held on Sunday, May 14, at 7:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church in Souris.
