Crescent Avenue design approved by council By Darci Semeschuk Burns Maendel Consulting Engineering Ltd. Attended the April 17 Souris Glenwood council meeting with the updated plan for the Crescent Avenue renovation. Daniel Burns whose focus with Burns Maendel consists of subdivision design, drainage design, wastewater management, water supply and land development has been working with the Municipality of Souris Glenwood since they began plans for the Crescent Avenue renovation. Burns presented the update plan and answered questions regarding the project. Earlier this year, the Souris Glenwood Chamber of Commerce and the Souris Glenwood Community Development Corporation held public forums where residents could come out and share their dreams and wishes for the Crescent Avenue renovation. Coming from those community meetings was the strong wish that council and the engineers build on the beauty of Crescent Ave. “What was a unanimous desire was that whatever was required to bring Crescent Avenue up to code was that in
doing so, they kept the unique tourist friendly concept that Souris has,” explained Scott Murray, Chamber representative on the project. “They want trees, a sidewalk, areas to sit. Capitalize on the beauty of Souris. They don’t just want to see a fence and parking.” In fact that was a main goal for residents. A beautiful area overlooking Victoria Park with a wide sidewalk that is wheel chair friendly, flowering trees, lots of greenery and places to sit. One resident stated that Crescent Avenue is one of the things that make Souris unique. The wish was that council would remember that and not get too technical with their design. Council did pass the updated design which is till projected to cost $1.5 million at the April 17 meeting because of the timeline for construction. There were a few minor changes such as tree species but those will be discussed at a future date. The underground work needed to have requests for proposals sent out and returned for a May start. Mr Burns stated that the underground work will begin in mid - to third week in May and will take approximately eight
weeks to complete. That work will be done by directional drilling and will be quite deep in the ground. Businesses will see a disruption in water and sewer at various times throughout the project but Burns says that will be done in segments and for 3 to 4 hour times as businesses are disconnected and reconnected. The disruption on Crescent Avenue will be for most of the two-month period. A protective fence will be erected and a sidewalk will be maintained on the north side of Crescent Avenue but for the most part, there will be no street traffic once the surface work begins. “We will try to do this with as little disruption to the business area as possible,” explained Burns “This is a complex project as we’ve put a lot of time into thinking about scheduling and minimizing the inconveniences. ” Mayor Darryl Jackson said that the municipality has informed the businesses that need water to operate that there may be a time when it is off so they can prepare. Burns stated that communication would be key between council, contractors and businesses to keep things going smoothly. Continued on Page 2

Peak water levels in Manitoba Flood levels The Hydrologic Forecast Centre of Manitoba Infrastructure continues to forecast peak water levels at or slightly above bankfull for portions of the upper Assiniboine River, from the Shellmouth Dam and Reservoir to Brandon. This level of flow on the Assiniboine River was
forecast in the March flood outlook and is now occurring as the spring melt is underway. There could be over-bank flooding of lowlying areas. The Portage Diversion started operation this week to reduce the risk of ice jamming along the lower Assiniboine River. Flows
Thank you
to the Souris-Glenwood Fire Department for their prompt and professional response to the �ire on our land Saturday, April 28. We would also like to thank our neighbours Steven Phillips, Bruce Locke, Butch Locke, the Brown family and Arnie Eissner for all their help. Thank you to Kevin Dunham and Norman Anderson for bringing their big equipment. Saturday was an awfully windy day and trying to contain the �ire was very hard work. If we have missed mentioning any names, we are sorry, because we truly appreciated all the work and help.
along the Assiniboine River just upstream of Portage la Prairie are likely to reach between 8,500 and 13,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) at the peak in early May. If ice is no longer in place on the lower Assiniboine River at this time, operation of the Portage Diversion at the peak may not be required. The current flow just upstream of Portage la Prairie is just over 6,800 cfs with just under 2,000 cfs flowing into the diversion channel. The Shellmouth Dam

will continue operations to reach summer levels after the spring run-off. The winter ice on the Carrot and Saskatchewan rivers near the The Pas remains in place. The recorded levels show the rivers are well below banks but water levels will increase somewhat with further flows from the west. The Red River is near its peak at Emerson and is expected to peak in the Winnipeg area early next week. At this time, it appears unlikely the Red River Floodway will be operated, although river flows may spill naturally into the floodway channel a minor amount. Ice-jam related problems are no longer likely on almost all southern Manitoba rivers and streams. The province reminds people to stay off ice on water bodies where ice still is in place, until the spring melt and ice movement is complete, which will vary across the province.

ANSWER:
Following the underground work, construction can begin on the surface work. This includes a widening of parts of the street, fire hydrants, crosswalks, a south side sidewalk with a safety fence. Additionally there will be benches, a display board, garbage cans, street lighting and trees. Councillor Bill Tanguay and assistant CAO Lisa Greig has concerns that the flowering trees would result in types of berries of fruit that would drop on the ground and be tracked in to businesses on people’s shoes. Additionally, concern was made that they would attract birds and peacocks. Burns says that tree species can come later. The fence that was referred to by Burns is something he says that will improve safety and prevent people from falling down the hill. When asked if this was a code requirement he relied that it is not code. A fence is not required but he does recommend it. Council is concerned that increased costs will push this project over the $1.5 million budget. Councillor Tanguay stated that the south sidewalk could be left off if that was the case. Other items to leave off could be the fence, and other items such as garbage cans and bike stands. Burns indicated that those costs would not save a lot, as they weren’t a large part of the budget. Mayor Jackson hopes that local organizations or groups will take up the Crescent cause to assist with some of the ornamental costs of the project. “When you run out of money, you run out of money. It’s the underground, the dirty stuff that has to get done,” stated Jackson. “I’m concerned that the $1.5 million won’t be enough. I’ve been trying to lower expectations for six months telling people to not get their hopes up. We will do what we can do.”

Will you know when and where to look?
The Government of Manitoba would like to end the practice of requiring municipal councils to provide public notice of proposed land, aggregate, water, highways and livestock use changes in newspapers. It is proposing to change the requirement to simply post such information anywhere on a municipal or planning district website for 27 days prior to a public hearing. Will you know when and where to look - if a new livestock operation is being proposed for your neighbourhood? - if your town council is debating a new subdivision or high-rise condominium overlooking your backyard? - if your municipal council is considering allowing a new gravel pit operation down your road? - if changes are being planned for the highway or roadway you travel everyday? Help us preserve the rights of Manitobans to be informed – and the obligation of governments to notify us all – of actions and activities that will affect our daily lives. Help us preserve the requirement to provide public notice through community newspapers.

EDITORIAL Letter: Support our Canadian Energy Sector
Something happened in Alberta that was truly remarkable. On a moment’s notice, a rally was organized and attended by thousands of people who came out to support the Canadian energy sector and the people it employs. There was no violence. No arrests. No vandalism. Everyday people who’ve had enough attended it. They’re sick and tired of the endless delays and roadblocks regarding the Kinder Morgan pipeline. They came to rally behind the industry that has provided great wealth to our country and employs thousands of hardworking Canadians. We must never forget, without this industry, we wouldn’t have the fuel to heat our home or gas to put in our vehicles. We wouldn’t have the materials to build our smartphones or practically everything else we use in our daily lives. Now many of the people who went to the rally have never been to a protest. What united each and every one of them was the belief that our energy sector should be celebrated and not looked down upon. They came to support the roughnecks, the pipe welders, the truck drivers and everyone else who makes their living from our energy sector. There were women, men, young and old who came out to ensure that their voice was heard loud and clear: the federal government needs to do its job. Some might call these unexpected rally attendees the “silent majority”. They’re just ordinary people who work hard, pay their taxes and play by the rules. They’re not easily flustered by the daily slog of politics, but now they’re not going to sit back anymore. And when the silent majority decides to take its case to the streets, you know they mean business. In Canada we have the rule of law. That’s what makes our country function. Without these rules and laws, one could safely assume it would lead to dysfunction or even chaos. Now when you’re not content about a particular law, you can run for public office and change it. That’s called democracy. This is what also makes our country function. Until those rules are changed, it is still the law of the land. It is unfortunate there are those who are doing everything in their power to stop a project that has been approved, studied, consulted and has been given the green light. If people or businesses do not believe that rules will be followed, what confidence does that give them to make an investment in Canada? Without that investor confidence, everything comes crashing down. For example, imagine a company that wanted to build a plant to manufacture some sort of product. It will be a very costly investment so they start researching all the rules and laws they have to follow to get this business off the ground. They do everything by the book. They contact all three levels of government. They consult. They fill out all the paperwork and they do all the necessary assessments. After many years they are given the go ahead and are now ready to start construction. Now imagine after following every rule and regulation, a group of people not only opposes you, they do everything in their power to stop the construction and shut you down. Some even go as far as breaking the law. They believe if they make your life so complicated and so burdensome that eventually you’ll just throw up your hands and walk away. What would you think if this was your company or business? You’d be rather frustrated. Actually, I don’t think that word would accurately describe your emotions and sense of disbelief. If you stepped back and really thought about it, what sort of message would this calamity send to anyone else out there who is looking at this unfurl? The ramifications could be huge and long lasting. I know there are those who will fundamentally oppose everything I just said, but I must reiterate that this project followed every rule and procedure. They did everything they were asked to do. It must also be said that this pipeline would mean a $7.4 billion project and will create 15,000 direct jobs and thousands more indirect jobs. Every First Nation crossed by the pipeline supports the project. Forty-three First Nations have Mutual Benefit agreements with the project, worth over $400 million dollars We know that Canada’s environmental and labour standards are the envy of the world. We believe in a process that is fair, transparent and incorporates the latest technology and knowledge so we can build pipelines to get our energy to market. I will continue to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to prioritize the construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and to use all the tools at his disposal to resolve the current dispute. Larry Maguire, MP Brandon-Souris
Farmland values have steady climb
Submitted by FCC Manitoba’s average farmland values continued to climb at roughly the same rate as the Canadian average in 2017, a sign of a strong and stable agriculture economy, according to J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist for Farm Credit Canada (FCC). The average value of Canadian farmland increased 8.4 per cent in 2017, following a gain of 7.9 per cent in 2016. Although average farmland values have increased every year since 1993, recent increases are less pronounced than the 2011-2015 period that recorded significant average farmland value increases in many different regions. “With the steady climb of farmland values, now is a good time for producers to review and adjust their business plan to reflect variable commodity prices and slightly higher interest rates, assess their overall financial position and focus on increasing productivity,” Gervais said. “It’s also a good idea to have a risk management plan in place to protect your business against unforeseen circumstances and events.” In Manitoba, average farmland values increased by five per cent in 2017, following gains of 8.1 per cent in 2016 and 12.4 per cent in 2015. While Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia reported the largest average increases, four provinces – British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island saw a smaller increase from the previous year. Quebec and New Brunswick both showed increases that were fairly close to the national average, while Newfoundland and Labrador didn’t have enough transactions to fully assess farmland values in that province. Some of last year’s average farmland value increase may also be a result of timing as most provinces recorded a faster pace of increase in the first six months of the year while interest rate increases didn’t occur
until the latter half of 2017. Recent increases in borrowing costs and expectations of further increases could cool the farmland market in 2018, according to Gervais. FCC’s Farmland Values Report highlights average changes in farmland values – regionally, provincially and nationally. This year’s report describes changes from January 1 to December 31, 2017 and, for the first time, provides a value range in terms of price per acre. “It’s important to remember that farmland prices can vary widely within regions due to many local factors that can influence how much value a buyer and seller attach to a parcel of land,” Gervais said. He also stressed that every farm operation is unique and there may be a strong business case for buying more land, but not without carefully weighing the risks and rewards. “Farm operations need to be cautious in regions where the growth rate of farmland values has exceeded that of farm incomes in recent years. The good news is Canadian farms are generally in a strong financial position when it comes to net cash income and their balance sheets.” To view the 2017 FCC Farmland Values Report and historical data or register for the free FCC webinar on May 2, visit www.fcc.ca/FarmlandValues. By sharing agriculture economic knowledge and forecasts, FCC provides solid insights and expertise to help those in the business of agriculture achieve their goals.

By Gale Collinson Cribbage players occupied 6 and a half tables on April 25. The highest score of the evening was made by Alva & Don Doherty. The 2nd prize went to Betty Devins with Joan Phillips and 3rd spot was filled by Grant Ewen with Ken Ryckman. The lucky ticket on the 50-50 draw belonged to Vonda Bodin. Our bingo evening on April 16th, attracted 27 hopeful noisemakers. Some people were definitely louder than others. Four hollers came from Alys Will and Marie Neilson and 3 yells came from Darlene Dooley and Dave Johnson. Dave’s last shout was on the Little House for which he received $36. Our meat draw was a little on the quiet side on April 27, but multiple winners were few. Only Dave Johnson was able to take home 2 meat packages. The 50-50 draw was worth $103 and Larry Neilson held the winning ticket. Marnie Heath had a chance to take home $1,230 by locating the Ace of Spades. The Ace refused to cooperate and so it will be up for grabs next week. Just a note to keep in mind – after this Ace is found, the price of a strip of tickets will be going up to $2. A supper of chicken, meat balls, rice, salad and dessert was available after the draws were finished.

Greg Kirbyson Memorial Bursary established through Foundation By Darci Semeschuk The Souris Glenwood Foundation was the recipient of a generous donation in memory of Grey Kirbyson who passed away last year. The donation is $107,000 in bank stocks and the Foundation will distribute that as a scholarship in the amount of $2000 every year beginning in 2018. “It was just over a year ago that my brother Greg left us after his second courageous battle with leukaemia,” explained Brad Kirbyson, brother to Greg. “After his passing, our family was thinking about a way to leave a lasting memory of Greg in the two communities that meant so much to him: Souris, where he was born and spent the first 30 years of his life, and the Leader-Eston area of Saskatchewan that took him in as one of their own when he moved out there.” Brad Kirbyson explained that they had a few ideas in mind but had already heard good things about the Souris-Glenwood Foundation and the good work they are doing in the community. “We encouraged people to donate to the Foundation in memory of Greg and we got good feedback from a bunch of friends and family members who did contribute to the Foundation at the time,” Kirbyson explained. Kirbyson said that they had wanted to establish two bursaries in Greg’s name. One to a graduating student at Souris, and another to a graduating student in the area in Saskatchewan where he lived. “We had

a few specific requests for the criteria of the bursary that we wanted to incorporate,” he said. “We wanted the bursary to reflect Greg’s personality and values.” The bursary criteria are as follows: presented to graduating students furthering their education at a post-secondary institute for at least a year. Preference will be given to students with a background or interest in agriculture; a history of involvement in sports; high academic achievement should not be the determining factory in making a selection. Foundation representative, Andy Barclay said that the Foundation as thrilled with the donation and would be happy to administer the bursary each year. Right from the start it was a win-win. The funds would be held by the Foundation to improve the quality of life in the Souris area that has played such an important role with our family for so many years, and in so many ways. At the same time, the Foundation would help two deserving high school graduates pursue their dream of higher education. “It took a bit of time to work out the details, but thanks to the hard work and determination of the Board, everything has come together,” Kirbyson said. “A big thanks to Andy Barclay and Darcy Gerow for all their help in making this bursary a reality. It is a very fitting tribute to Greg that will evoke his memory every year when a bursary is made in his name.”
When Greg Kirbyson (top photo) passed away in 2017 from Leukaemia, his family wanted to leave a lasting legacy that would endure for years to come. They created two Greg Kirbyson Scholarships, one in Souris where he grew up and one in Saskatchewan where he lived. The Souris Glenwood Foundation will administer them. At bottom, Brady Kirbyson, brother to the late Greg Kirbyson is seen here with Souris Glenwood Foundation member Andy Barclay as they shake hands over the two PHOTO/SUBMITTED scholarship agreements.
