Crescent Avenue design in council’s hands
By Darci Semeschuk Perhaps one of the most important and emotional projects to be undertaken in Souris in the past century, besides choosing a plan to replace the Swinging Bridge is the redevelopment of Crescent Avenue. Finally, after years of saving, planning, and strategizing, the job of selecting a design that will move Souris and Crescent Avenue into the future is imminent. It’s a well-known fact that the water and sewer system under Crescent Avenue has been operating on borrowed time. What is thought to be the original piping has long outlived the expectations of so old a system and it is time for the replacement of those lines. According to SourisGlenwood Public Works manager, Andrew Hamilton, the project is very close to proceeding. “We have been planning this project for some time and since the announcement of the funding, it’s going ahead,” explained Hamilton. “Some of the work In fact there is $1.5 million dollars, a three way split between the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal government that is available for the redevelopment of Crescent Avenue. Once the announcement was made that funding had been approved, the Souris Glenwood Chamber of Commerce put together a committee that held two public consultation meetings to come up with a design concept for the Crescent. That document was forwarded to council and the engineering firm, Burns Maendel who contracted by the municipality to design the project. “We just wanted people to have some input on how Crescent Avenue would look after the design,” stated committee member Scott Murray who owns Home Hardware in Souris.

Efficiency Manitoba: “From Power Smart to power smarter”
The Honourable Cliff Cullen, Minister of Crown Services Manitoba is one of the greenest provinces in the country, from an energy-production standpoint. So it’s understandable that trying to improve on that front might raise a few eyebrows. We are committed to becoming the most improved province in Canada, and one area we want to do that is becoming more energy efficient while diversifying our energy sources. Last week I announced a new Crown Corporation to serve that end. Efficiency Manitoba has been officially proclaimed after making its way through cabinet earlier this month. I told our friends in the media that more details would follow soon. Efficiency Manitoba will be a standalone entity separate from Manitoba Hydro set up to replace Hydro’s Power Smart program. It will be smaller than Power Smart, it will be less expensive than
Power Smart and it will be more effective than Power Smart. Proclaiming Efficiency Manitoba is just the first step. Soon, we will answer the questions we heard last week about cost, CEO, location, staff. But the biggest question is “why?” The answer is simple: we concurred with the PUB’s 2014 recommendation—a recommendation initially accepted by the then-NDP government and then promptly ignored – that Manitoba Hydro could not reasonably be expected to sell electricity while encouraging more efficient domestic electricity use. It is an inherent contradiction that has been recognized and dealt with in other jurisdictions across the country. We need Manitoba Hydro to focus on its core mandate—selling our province’s hydroelectric power. But more importantly, we are confidant Efficiency Manitoba will be a leaner, more effective steward of our province’s ener-
gy-efficiency programming with fewer staff and better outcomes. We’ve heard from some stakeholders that they have greatly appreciated the Power Smart programs. There are certainly positive lessons from the work that has been done, which will be passed on to the new crown, but our license on the Power Smart name is expiring just as we take this opportunity to divest Hydro of all Demand Side Management (DSM) programming. The time is now to take our province from Power Smart to power smarter. Our government won’t eliminate DSM programming, but will see Efficiency Manitoba improve programming in a similar vein under a different name. We look forward to doing so with the establishment of a stakeholder committee. The truth is Power Smart left enough incentive money on the table—to the tune of about $50 million left in a deferral account—that it’s sufficient to fund Efficien-
cy Manitoba from the outset. As for the corporate questions surrounding a headquarters, chief executive officer, and board, we would ask that people respect what a challenge it is to extend offers to the kinds of quality people we are looking for without first publically announcing the corporation exists. Rest assured that work is truly underway and these details will be announced as soon as possible. Establishing Efficiency Manitoba is critical. Efficiency Manitoba’s mission is important, and our government is serious about meeting the real, legislated targets that we reiterated during the announcement last week. Through this new crown corporation, Manitoba will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 2.7 million tonnes over 15 years. That aggressive target should be all the reason anyone needs for getting serious about efficiency programming.

Important decisions to be made regarding Crescent Avenue 18021GG0
Pictured here are two preliminary designs for the Crescent Avenue redevelopment project currently being undertaken by the Rural Municipality of Souris-Glenwood. The $1.5 million revitalization will include new underground upgrades to water and sewer as well as more visible improvements to the Crescent. Council will select a final design in the near future and it’s expected that tenders could be out early April. The designs are on currently on display at the Civic Centre.

Continued from Front “It’s a pretty big deal and as a Chamber we felt that the business people as well as the community would want to have a hand in the design and we think we came up with a good document to share with the engineers.” Burn Maendel has presented council with two preliminary design ideas for the Crescent. Both Murray and Hamilton say that the document put forward by the Chamber consultation committee was very helpful to the engineering firm and they appreciated the work, thought, and effort put forth by the residents and committee in coming up with solid ideas for Crescent Avenue. Currently, the two preliminary designs are on display in the Souris Civic Centre and can be viewed by anyone during regular office hours. In fact, Hamilton says people are encouraged to come in and share what they like and what they don’t like with the plans. Plan 1 shows the Crescent aligned for better traffic flow. There is a larger, more accessible sidewalk on the south side of the street as well as a wider area by the crosswalk between Crescent Manor and the Plaindealer. “One of the concerns was that people using that crosswalk weren’t visible to west bound traffic,” explained Hamilton. With this design, there is more room as it swings out and people will feel safer.” On the south side, east of Victoria Park Lodge, the engineers have incorporated a larger seating area. “This plan will allow for future access to Victoria Park as a means of connecting the entire park and uptown area as a walking trail,” explained Hamilton. Additionally, the sidewalk from that corner east to
RBC will be widened and blocked to parking. There is a patio in front of Woodfire Deli and the street between Legasse’s Gym will be closed to traffic to allow a bigger “Peacock Patio” on the Island. Traffic would now turn onto Crescent Avenue from Highway 22. Plan 2 incorporated a median with trees planted down the centre. It also allows for parallel parking on both sides of the street. All of the designs are subject to approval from the province. As far as when the project will move forward, Hamilton says that they are in the process of crunching the numbers. “The water and sewer designs are pretty much done and once they move forward with a design plan the tenders will be sent out,” he explained. “So far, and this is just preliminary, it looks like it is well within budget.” Hamilton also said that this project would be very tourist friendly. “That’s what people said, that they wanted to maintain and build on the beauty that is already here,” he said. “There will be change but it’s still within the scope of what people want to see.” These new designs will improve signage and better utilize the parking behind Crescent Avenue. Additionally, Hamilton believes they will move towards a “no truck” route on the Crescent. “The Geo-technical survey came back and the hill is adequate for what we are planning, however, they did say that there should ne no drilling into the banks,” stated Hamilton. “With heavy trucks pounding the street we could see some issues down the road. I’ll be very surprised if we don’t make it a “no truck” route.” The committee will meet again February 8 where it is believed that a final design will be selected

Cougars heading into the home stretch with ten games left
By Grant Moffatt The Cougars visited Central Plains on Saturday night and Riley Sveistrup and Riley Wallace hooked up in a goaltender dual. Both goalies ended up with 46 saves as the Capitals hung on for a 2-1 win in regulation time. Tanner Andrew opened the scoring midway through the first period with Cory King and Cody Shearer getting him free and he went down the right wing and snapped home the biscuit to open the scoring. The Caps tied the score early in the second when Alex Cattani found the back of the net. The teams played a cat and mouse game the rest of the way. The Cougars failed to clear the zone midway through the third period and the Capitals took advantage as Joel Courrier wired a laser from the right side for the winning goal. The Cougars were left wondering, as they cling to eighth place and the final playoff position as the officials dictated the game with lots of non-calls. The Cougars returned to the den for a tilt with the Winnipeg Thrashers on Sunday afternoon. The combination of Tanner Andrew, Cory King and Cody Shearer opened the scoring for the second game in a row with Andrew denting the twine to open then scoring at 3:09 of the first. The Cougars had a glories chance to take a two goal lead when the puck rang of the post with a wide-open net. The Thrashers then went to work and scored four unanswered goals before the period ended as they blitzed Riley Wallace in the Cougars net. Rylan Gudnason got one back early in the second from Tanner Clyne when he went 5 hole on Dawson Rattai in the Thrashers net. Tanner Clyne then roofed one from Cory King and Gudnason with time winding down in the second to make it a 4-3 score. The third period saw Callum Fortin even the score six minutes into the frame from King and Ty-

The Cougars then tried to play with too many men and on the ensuing power play the Thrashers tied the score at 11:41.

Sports Ramblings By Dale McKinnon Skyla Vanmackelbergh had 17 kills, 15 digs and 2 aces against Canadian Mennonite Blazers last weekend. The ACC Cougars lost three games to two and drop to 8-18 this season. They have two weekends left in their volleyball regular season. The Westman Wildcats are in third place in the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League with 15 wins and 11 losses. Haley Wickham has 13 points for the Wildcats. Deloraine/Hartney Colts are 12-7 after a 4-3 victory in Neepawa and a 2-1 victory over Carberry/Glenboro/Baldur last weekend. Kelly McMechan lost in the super league finals 5-3 to Brayden Payette. Kelly defeated Terry McNamee 7-3 in the
Page 7, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, February 02, 2018 semi finals. Kelly curls with Myles Olmstead, Brad Edwards and Don Williams. Kelly and Don last won the super league in 1995, which was before nay of the Payette team were born. On the topic of experienced athletes there must have been a misprint in Saturday’s Brandon Sun. In the “Sports Local History” it had Paul More, Dave Mills and Jamie Olson combining for 7 goals in an 11-2 victory over Melita. I believe this information but it must have been an error when they said it was “30 years ago.” The answer to last week’s trivia is Israel Idonije who played one year of high school football with the Vincent Massey Vikings and five years with the U of M Bisons. He signed as a free agent and had a career of 283 tackles, 29 sacks, 6 forced fumbles and one touchdown with the Chicago Bears. He also played in the 2006 Super Bowl. This week’s trivia asks the names of the two other curlers who played with Kelly and Don when they won their last super league.
