EDITORIAL Dear Editor
The real healthy habits I just felt compelled to respond to the article about healthy habits for the New Year. This is not an attack on dieticians and nutritionists, but against the institutions who teach them, because they are still passing on “knowledge” that has been proven wrong and in some cases positively dangerous. For example, a good healthy breakfast according to this article is a bowl of hot oatmeal made with milk or a fortified soy beverage plus a glass of orange juice. Oatmeal has been praised for that role for decades. The fact is, if you eat any kind of grain, be it oatmeal, cereal, bread of any kind, pasta, rice, etc., it turns into glucose as soon as it is ingested. You have it with a glass of OJ, you have a double whammy, because any fruit juice, be it organic, fresh squeezed, or frozen, has as much sugar as a can of soda. So essentially you are eating sugar with sugar for breakfast mixed with a beverage made from genetically modified soy. I could add a whole chapter about the non-existent benefits of drinking milk, which I won’t in this context. My husband is a type 2 diabetic, he would get very ill on a breakfast like that. Yes it is very convenient for a family to put the cereal boxes on the table in the morning with a jug of milk, but you aren’t doing anyone any favours serving a meal that is basically all carbohydrates. It will give you a short burst of energy, but by mid morning you start to crash and get hungry. So what are we supposed to eat? Our human DNA the way it is today has been in existence on this earth for tens of thousands of years. What did our ancestors eat in those days? Anything they could catch and kill, and they would
eat nose to tail with the fattiest part like the brain and bone marrow first. When they couldn’t hunt anything they would eat edible plants. This translates into our modern time as any meat and vegetables with lots of healthy fats. Every morning I get my pan out, melt a good amount of butter and fry a few rashers of bacon in it and some eggs. We have it with half an avocado and some olives. All we drink is coffee, tea, and water. We are so full after this fat heavy meal that we don’t eat another meal for many hours. This almost requires a 180-degree change in our thinking of the last 50 or so years. Fat has been made out to be the villain and give us heart attacks; everything is supposed to be low fat or no fat. What we have effectively done is starve our brains of the nutrients it needs. Brain cells, like all other cells, get old and die eventually and need to be replaced. So we need to give our bodies good healthy fats to rebuild our brain. Alzheimer’s and dementia are rampant in this country because we are essentially starving our brains. Whoever said at some point, you are what you eat, absolutely had it right. Remember the old food pyramid they used for teaching us about nutrition? The bottom half was carbohydrates in the form of grain products, the middle was protein, the tiny tip was fats. The truth is, you get it right when you turn it upside down. The enormous consumption of carbs has turned us into a nation that’s obese and diabetic. And it has made organizations like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig very rich, those diets never work. I know people who have been on Weight Watchers for many years and haven’t lost anything. They feel guilty and think it’s their fault, but it’s not.
Most people know by now, that fat doesn’t make you fat, it’s the carbs. You have all heard of essential amino acids, which are your protein. You don’t get it, you get sick and die. Same with essential fatty acids, those are your healthy fats like butter, lard, and coconut oil. There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. You stop eating carbs, something beautiful happens: your body will go into the stored fat reserves and use those for energy. You start losing weight without ever counting a calorie, cutting portions, getting hungry. And your body loves burning fat; it knows exactly what to do with it, because your grandparents from 500 generations in the past did exactly that! You will not find a single grain product in my house, and since I eliminated it, my husband’s type 2 diabetes has improved to a point that he cut his medication in half, his blood sugar is almost normal, and the weight loss in both of us happened almost accidentally. And here is another bonus to eating low carb: healthy body cells are metabolically flexible, when they don’t get glucose to burn; they just switch to a different fuel source (body fat.) Cancer cells are unable to do that, they need glucose to thrive. So when you deprive your body of glucose, you starve any cancer cells you may have. So you wonder why with all the research over the years they haven’t found a cure for cancer? That’s because a guy named Otto Warburg found it decades ago and won the Nobel Prize for his discovery, but Big Pharma has no interest in it because it’s FREE!

The Cougars out chanced Brandon in the second and third period but Dallas Green kept the Cougars at bay turning aside 36 shots for the win. Rylan Thiessen and Nolan Ritchie scored goals in the first 4 minutes before the Cougars called a time out. The Cougars got on the board when Trent Sambrook scored a power play goal from Austin Clyne and Braeden Lewis to get the Cats on the board at 9:01. Troy Hamilton then basically sealed the deal with a pair of goals to end the first period. Brayden Michalchuk scored early in the second period to finish the scoring as the teams played even the rest of the way. The Cougars outshot the Wheaties in the game. Randy Cooke and Caden Wilson, who took over in the second both faced 9 shots.

Ukrainian Christmas celebrated at St. Paul’s Unlike the usual Christmas Day held every December 25, Ukrainians celebrate January 7. In this holiest of celebrations, the table, set to according to time-honoured custom, is first strewn with a small handful of fine hay in memory of the Christ Child in a manger, and over it is spread the very best tablecloth adorned with native embroidery. Bread (kalach), symbolizing prosperity, constitutes the central table decoration. Three round, braided loaves are placed one on top of the other with a candle inserted into the top load, and the bottom loaf encircled with tiny twigs of evergreen. Candles on both sides of the loaves complete the table decoration. Pictured here is Chloe, the granddaughter of Henry and Karen Maryniuk displaying her finest Ukrainian attire for the event.

Dutch Elm disease changing the landscape of Souris
View from the street a lot different after diseased trees removed The view from the south side of Crescent Avenue looks a lot different after the loss of decades old elm trees that were identified as diseased earlier this year. Crews from Westman Tree Services took the giants down in late December. PHOTO/DARCI SEMESCHUK By Darci Semeschuk The progression of Dutch Elm Disease has forced the removal of approximately 73 American Elm trees in Souris in 2018 alone. While that number seems high, Souris-Glenwood Public Works Manager Andrew Hamilton explained that there were only 21 actual spot remov-
als. “When we say 73, that’s kind of s skewed number,” he explained in a phone interview on December 19. “Some trees have three and four trees coming from one site so they count as four trees when in actual fact it was one site.” In late December Westman Tree Services were in Souris removing the last of
the marked trees for 2018. A large tree in front of the Canada Post building was one tree with six trunks so counted a six tree removals. While the loss of the much loved elm trees is terrible, Hamilton says that many more trees have been planted to replace the ones lost. These include hardy varieties such as Maple
Blaze, a fast growing species of Maple. Maple Blaze grows up to three feet per year. This is an extremely fast growth rate for a maple tree, meaning you get all of the benefits of a mature tree faster. They have tons of thick, green, lush leaves that glimmer in the sun all spring and summer long. In the fall, the green leaves
turn a shade of fiery red that attracts attention from all over. The show-stopping colour is one of the brightest shades of fall red available. In the past three years approximately 140 American Elms have been removed in Souris. That’s a staggering number but Hamilton says many more trees have been planted to replace those lost. “I don’t have all the number here but I do know that in 2018 we planted about 100 trees,” he said. “We have a tree planting program that Bill Tanguay runs and there are quite a few varieties going back in.” One of the more recent plantings took place along the dike near the river. “These trees were planted to help prevent erosion in future flood years,” stated
Hamilton. There will be a few more tree removals off Crescent Avenue in the spring. Sadly these are healthy trees but their removal is necessary because of the upgrades to the street that will begin May long weekend, 2019. “It’s unfortunate that we have to remove healthy trees but it is necessary for the work on the street,” Hamilton said. “The roots would be damaged if they tried to work around them and the trees would dies anyway.” There are at least two more large elms that will come down. These include the one in front of Lagasse’s Studio of Fine Art and the Plaindealer’s office. There is already a plan in place to plant new trees once the work is completed.
Thirty-six years of service Continued from Page 1 He served as the chairman for Souris Ambulance for several years and we estimate that he has worked with well over 50 volunteers and paramedics colleagues throughout his career! Outside of EMS, McKinnon has served his community and country throughout his life. As a young man, he served 12 years in the Canadian Forces Reserves as an Artillery Gunner and radio operator at 26th Field Regiment. He has been awarded the Medal of Bravery and Carnegie Hero Award as recognition of nearly losing his life while saving the life of another. In Souris, he spent time coaching a local baseball team and acting as the trainer for the Southwest Cougars hockey team for several years. Jim, the staff at Souris EMS would like to sincerely thank you for your years of service and congratulate you on your retirement. Your dependable nature and warm smile will be missed. We hope that you drop by the station for a visit in the future!

Disease not always apparent A worker from Westman Tree Services points out the diseased part of the stump of an elm tree that was affected by Dutch Elm Disease. To the layperson the disease isn’t always apparent sometimes sparking outrage after what looks like a healthy tree is removed. This tree was one of approximately 73 trees that were removed from the landscape in Souris in 2018. PHOTO/DARCI SEMESCHUK

Christmas Cheer wraps it up for 2018 Submitted by The Souris Christmas Cheer Committee. The Souris Christmas Cheer Board would like to thank the citizens of Souris and surrounding area for their generosity this Christmas season. Every year we are overwhelmed by the support this project receives. For 2018, 63 hampers were given out to families in Souris and area. Included in
this number were 12 families who had their hamper sponsored by a business, group or an individual. We are very grateful for this assistance as the number of hampers required grows by a few each year. The generous donations of cash, food and gifts from individuals, businesses and organizations in Souris and surrounding area are very much appreciated and help to make Christmas a little
brighter for many families in our community. The Social Justice Fighters (who are Souris School students in grades 5-7) spearheaded a food drive for students from K-12 at the school. They collected, counted and delivered the non-perishable items to the Christmas Cheer Committee. The work done by these students is very much appreciated and the Christmas Cheer Commit-
tee is overwhelmed by the number of items that are collected to be put in hampers at Christmas time. Mrs. Sobry’s Grade 8 class also spent a few hours of their time wrapping all the hamper boxes. Local churches, the Royal Canadian Legion, L.T’s Corner Store and Souris Valley Bigway also provided boxes for donations. Many people volunteered to help pack hampers and
Cheerful deliveries Cole and Avery Kirkup and Grant Jackson (L-R) are all ready to go as they prepare to deliver the first of the Christmas Cheer boxes.

Continued from Page 3 – they don’t want to depend on temporary corporate welfare from Ottawa,” said Aaron Wudrick, the CTF’s Federal Director. “The crisis in Canada’s energy sector is largely due to the Trudeau governments’ catastrophic decisions and they are now simply trying to paper over the problem with borrowed money.” Ottawa will reportedly announce $1.6 billion to provide “job support” for Alberta later today, according to media reports. The announcement is expected after large protests in Calgary where the unemployment rate is now 7.9 per cent. Canada loses $80 million per day because Canada lacks pipeline capacity, according to the Alberta government. Ottawa blocked the approved Northern Gateway pipeline in 2016. The government has yet to make progress on the Trans Mountain expansion despite using taxpayer money to buy
the project for $4.5 billion. Bill C-69, which will make any future pipeline approval more difficult, is currently in the Senate after being passed by the Trudeau government. A federal carbon tax will hit millions of Canadians starting April 1st. “If the Prime Minister wants people to think he cares by stroking a cheque for $1.6 billion, he needs to remember that only covers Canada’s losses due to a lack of pipeline capacity for 20 days,” said Wudrick. “Tying one hand behind the energy sector’s back while sprinkling corporate welfare into the other hand is not a real plan.” Actions the federal government could take to support the energy sector include: Withdrawing Bill C-69; Withdrawing the federal carbon tax; and Reducing business taxes to make Canada more competitive with the United States.
