Hillcrest, keeping community history alive By Darci Semeschuk Souris, the town with the castle and the swinging bridge. Hillcrest Museum has been a focal point of Souris and indeed, southwest Manitoba in one form or another for more than a century. Built by our founding father, Squire Sowden it has evolved from a private residence to apartment to a museum and the current board members are working hard to make sure it stays in good shape for years to come but that takes money. Westoba Credit Union has contributed money in the amount of $4000.00 to help them succeed with their goal. “We were very pleased to hear that we were successful in our application for funding from Westoba through their community giving program called Inspire,” stated Keven Bowie, long-time Hillcrest board member. “It will push us that much closer to our goal in getting the balcony project completed.”
Hillcrest is a heritage building and as such, any renovations or upgrades need to follow strict criteria. According to the Manitoba Historical Society, conservation of heritage buildings is very important because it provides a sense of identity and continuity in a fast changing world for future generations. Heritage buildings basically represent the past history and culture of a community. Hillcrest board has undertaken the arduous task of replacing the east side balconies something that Bowie calls a huge task. “We have worked closely with Gordon Mensies of the Historic Resource Branch to try and replicate as closely to 1910 as possible,” explained Bowie. “We’ve found a supplier in Texas that specializes in authentic wood working for porches and verandas and have hired Dana Black to do the work. It’s an expensive project but will be great when it’s done.” Continued on Page 2

Hillcrest keeping community history alive Continued from Front Page In fact the budget for the east balconies is $36,000.00. Besides the Westoba Inspire grant, Hillcrest has received $1000.00 from the Souris and Glenwood Foundation and up to $15,000.00 from a Community Places grant. “We finished redoing the front balcony is 2018 and are looking forward to completing these ones,” stated Bowie. “It’s important to keep the building in good shape.” Once the balconies are completed Bowie says they will be able to open them to the public, something that hasn’t happened in many years. “The balconies

will be accessible to both levels of the museum,” Bowie said. “Visitors will be able to enjoy the museum from an entirely different area. It will enhance their visits when they can enjoy the views of the Souris River.” Like many museums, Hillcrest is a non-profit entity with a mission to educate and inspire audiences – and that means that they need the support of visitors, members, and donors in order to keep on fulfilling those missions. If you like Hillcrest and you want to keep it around for years to come (so that you may bring your great-grandchildren,) make a donation or consider a bequeath. In many ways, supporting a museum through visitation or philanthropic support is a way of strengthening communities and giving back so that the museum can create impactful programs that fulfil its mission. Going forward, Bowie says the Hillcrest board will take a little rest before proceeding with more projects.
There are a few projects he would like to see explored and these include the back of the building, which he says is a little rough. The porch needs work and the fire escape stairs are deteriorating. They will have to look at replacing the windows at some point as well. Having said that though, Bowies wants everyone to know that the basic structure is sound. “Hillcrest is a wonderful building and we are fortunate to have it,” he stated. “The Sowdens were wealthy people and they spared no expense when they built their castle. Thinking back to the original committee that purchased the building in 1967 for $10,000.00 so they could turn it into a museum, that was a great thing that they did and now we have the Hillcrest legacy.” Fundraising is something that Bowie says is ongoing. The projects aren’t cheap and the board wants people to know that if they want to be part of leaving a legacy in Souris, they would be pleased to accept a donation of any kind.

EDITORIAL G & B Farms Conservation family of 2018 The Manitoba Conservation Districts Association (MCDA) held its annual conference and awards on December 11 in Brandon. The Conservation District Awards are presented through ha partnership between the MCDA and Manitoba’s 18 conservation districts. The awards are chosen by the individual districts and they may choose to nominate a farm and/or farm family, a nonprofit organization, a business, or an industry that exists within their boundaries. Nominees must show good environmental stewardship in line with the vision of Manitoba’s conservation districts. The Turtle Mountain Conservation District award winners were G & B Farms – Gordon, Brenda, Colin and Lacey Adams. The following is their nomination: G & B Farms is located along the west side of Whitewater lake, northeast of Deloraine, Manitoba. Gordon Adams and his wife Brenda live on the farm and have two children Colin and Lacey. Colin has his own cows and manages them together with Gordon’s cattle. Horses are a big part of G & B Farms which has led the family to be very active in the rodeo scene. Gordon is a rodeo judge and Brenda is a timekeeper. Lacey Adams rodeos in the Foothills Cowboys Association. She currently resides in Carstairs, AB and works at a dental office in Calgary. Colin Adams started rodeoing in 2004 and in 2005 started riding bareback horse. In 2011, Colin started competing professionally, competing across Western Canada and as far south as Texas, Florida and Arizona. When not rodeoing, Colin is heavily involved with the farm management. The family laughed and said, “Colin does the farm stuff and Gor-
don does the work!” The family’s mixed farming operation consists of Black Angus cows, horses and chickens that includes 2,720 acres of land that spans from the Turtle Mountain, Whitewater Lake, Medora and Pipestone areas. At Pipestone, there is 1,120 acres of native pasture that has never been broke. Rented land consists of 2,080 acres in the Turtle Mountain and Medora area. Hayland consists of 300 acres of an alfalfa-grass mix and 100 acres of corn for silage that is used to keep the cows out on the land all winter and aids in their manure management by spreading the manure out on the land instead of in the yard. Calving takes place in the spring on 60 acres of pasture on the home farm. Colin has 80 cows and together they turned out 300 this year and calved 285. May 1st, cattle are taken to spring paddocks in the Turtle Mountain and Pipestone pastures to start grazing and get the cattle out on the land sooner. Calves are backgrounded in the yard and pasture. Cattle are grass fed in the summer and grain silage is fed the last three months of the year. The family uses 4-5 gelding horses to the pastures, sort cattle pairs, brand and trial cows home with neighbours and always have a few young horses coming up. G & B Farms has introduced cover cropping into their farming operation over the last three years with a salad bar mix of barley, turnip, tillage radish, rye grass, brassicas and red clover used for fall grazing. The cover crop mix has been good for the cattle, soil health and soil infiltration. Soil testing has been conducted to see advantages and Colin has recorded the results since it was first implemented. G & B Farms has also seen less inputs

Missing: Lacey Adams. with using a cover crop mix and having cattle graze the land. Land sown don with the cover crop mix has seen better infiltration. Adams said, the field where the cover crop was planted is normally fairly wet with poor infiltration. After a rain, the small run through the field would normally have been filled with water but with the cover crop, there were no puddles of water unlike the surrounding fields.” Adams credited he improved infil-
tration to the cover crop. Their conservation practise on the farm consist of rotational grazing and some pastures in a twice-over grazing rotation. In the Turtle Mountain, G & B Farms MOB graze - a high-density stock grazing where cattle graze for a short period of time and then give the grass ample time for rest and regrowth. G & B Farms have participated in several Turtle Mountain Conservation
District programs including a portable remote watering system which is used by 90 pairs within the Turtle Mountain pastures. They have taken part in the abandoned well sealing program, salinity seed, water sampling and portable windbreak program to keep cattle out on the land year-round for improved manure management and fertilizer. Gordon has participated in rental programs that the TMCD offers that include the cattle
handling system, wire roller and watering system emo. With other partners, the Addams have also worked to protect 1,325 acres of upland and wetland habitat and 60 acres of native grass to support species at risk. When asked what G & B Farms plan for the future Gordon replied, “Expand the livestock operation and keep doing what we’re doing. Continue to promote “Eat Beef” and for the grassland to stay in grass.”
Letter to the Editor On August 28.2018 the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled that Taseko mining company can proceed with investigative work at a new Prosperity site . The court decision is unequivocal and it confirms the Government of British Colombia has the authority to approve resource development work even in the face of aboriginal opposition.This can be
read at the Taseko website. Isn’t the licensing of pipelines a federal jurisdiction and why doesn’t the same apply to new pipelines and other projects,and why has everything go to court first? Make some decisions that are in the interests of Canada as a whole? Could it be that certain law firms make a killing with cases like this? A lot of politicians are lawyers and are still associated
with their old firms. Bill 69 states , when all the procedures for a new pipeline are met and approved the environment minister still has the right to veto the project. Which company in its right mind is even starting an approval process that a lot of times costs billions of dollars with a possibility like that? Continued on Page 4

Letter to the Editor Continued from Page 3 It just shows that our federal government isn’t interested in approving pipelines no matter what, since our present environment minister for sure will veto any more pipelines. I am involved in the oil industry and might be somewhat biased, but here are some more issues I have. I am all for reducing the use of oil and gas if for the only reason that future generations still have some means to heat their houses and get to work but it too has to make common sense. If it is true that 50-60% of the population is living from pay cheque to pay cheque how are they to pay for all these increases? Most can’t even afford a conventional car (they have to finance it for up to 8 years) never mind an electric car. Besides electric cars won’t drive very far at -20 to - 40 C . Promoter for wind energy and solar energy claim it is much cheaper now to produce these 2 energies than conventional power plants. What they don’t say is neither one can guarantee a steady supply of power , even when providing power they hardly ever provide even 90% of their capacity, most of the time it is less than 50% and a lot of
times they do not produce power for days. (Solar only produces during the day) If they really want to compare the costs they should include the costs for the power plants that have to kept running for back up in case green energy can’t provide enough power. These cost and also the original construction costs of these plants have to be included. So why don’t we have both systems run parallel until we have something that guarantees a steady supply of green energy? The oil companies could make money with exported oil and pay taxes on it, which would help pay for solutions to improve the production of green energy , and by the way oil companies are investing in green energy as well. Why are we sending billions of $s overseas, when we still need fossils fuel based products and energy produced power for decades to come and other countries are more than willing to buy these products from us ? Considering that most of the world population lives at a standard of living way lower than what we are used to, the use of fossil fuel based energy can only go up. What our governments are doing is just like quit-
ting a job when you don’t have a new one lined up yet .It is irresponsible to say the least.It is my opinion our federal government is using these arguments only to get a new tax introduced. The last few years we have
had to pay all kinds of environmental fees and of course PST and GST are charged on these as well. Here is another thought, the USA not only buys the Canadian oil at a discount and sells it at a good profit
on the world market ,but could it be that US politicians and companies want to prevent Canadian resources to reach world markets? If they run low on their own resources they can fall back on our resources and certain
Canadian politician play right into their hands.( nice friends)In this regard the Trans Mountain Pipeline is more important than the Keystone Pipeline. Detlef Eissner Souris Mb.
Pee Wee Elks Last month, the Souris Elks Pee Wee team was crowned Rural Tournament of Champions (TOC) Champions in Minnedosa. This earned the team a spot in the 50th Annual Tournament of Champions in Brandon this past weekend. Souris went undefeated through the round robin play and into the playoffs, bringing them to a well-deserved A-side final game on the final day of the tournament. After a fast-paced, hard-fought game played by the whole team, unfortunately they fell to a 7-6 loss. Pictured below are the 2019 Brandon Tournament of Champions PeeWee A A-Side finalists after their tough loss. Congratulations to all the players and coaches on your accomplishments, well done!

Southwest Horizon School Division hosts AGM By Judy Wells The Board of Southwest Horizon School Division (SHSD) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, February 13 at Deloraine School. It was also an excellent opportunity to host an open house for the new woodworking shop at the school. Prior to the meeting a tour of the shop was facilitated by shop instructor Brian Harness. (See separate article). Following the tour, Board Chair Janice McDonald ( Ward 5 -Wawanesa) gave words of welcome to the AGM and asked the board members to introduce themselves — this included Julie Cwir (Ward 4 - Souris), Allan Downey (Ward 1- Melita and Pierson), Amelia Fewings (Ward 1 - Melita and Pierson), Marla Gross (Ward 2 - Deloraine and Waskada), Brendan Hicks (Ward 3 – Hartney) and Cheryl Rushing (Ward 2 – Deloraine and Waskada). Brent Fallis (Ward 4- Souris) was missing.
Carolyn Cory, SHSD Superintendent began by highlighting the Division’s Strategic Plan for 2017-2021. “I appreciate the opportunity to speak to the public during our AGM because it is a time to celebrate our students’ progress — they are the reason we’re here! The AGM is also about providing accountability to stakeholders and taxpayers and gathering their input. We always welcome suggestions.” “The Southwest Horizon Board of Trustees believes our schools are our community so we need to partner as much as possible. There are 13 schools in our Division of 6500 square kms (the same size as Prince Edward Island)! Next year’s projected enrolment is approximately 1580 students, similar to student enrolment at Crocus Plains High School in Brandon.” Cory went on to highlight strengths and areas of growth through various

pieces of data. Southwest Horizon has seen statistically significant student growth in both literacy and numeracy following focused work across all levels of the division. “We know our staff is our greatest strength – we have developed a team across the division with a shared vision. Studies have shown that the No. 1 factor in student success is teachers working together and believing that what they are doing is making a difference. Teachers ask themselves, “What do I need to learn today so that my students have success tomorrow?” The Provincial Government wants Manitoba to be the most improved province but large scale improvement happens one
small win at a time. The difference between stats for Manitoba students and top performing provinces on national and global tests is negligible. Raising the achievement of just 2 students in each classroom in the province would see Manitoba near the top on these tests. The graduation (on time) rate in SHSD for 2017 was 88% and has been consistently high over the past few years. The Provincial Government recently set a goal of 90% graduation rate by 2023 which is attainable for Southwest Horizon students. There are numerous factors related to recent student success in local communities but a major consideration is that our

a champion; an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be.”

This is a free program that allows kids to come out and work on their hockey skills for an hour each week. The on ice program is led by Jonathon Filewich.
