Little interest from public at Souris Glenwood Financial Hearing By Darci Semeschuk Taxpayers in the Rural Municipality of Souris Glenwood appear unconcerned about the upcoming tax increase for 2018, or so it appears from the response at the Financial Plan Hearing on April 19. Council for the RM hosted the hearing that had only one member of the public in attendance besides Plaindealer staff and Access Channel camera operators. As projected, ratepayers can expect to see an average of about 3% increase to their tax bill. Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Lisa Greig was on hand to make the presentation to the public. A big factor in the tax plan for 2018 was that fact that it is a provincial reassessment year. According to Greig, this has created many discussions at the council table on how the spending in 2018 would be fair for all as there has been a significant increase in some property classes and decreases on others. 2018 assessments are based on 2016 Market values. Increased assessment was recognized in farm; commercial and railway property classifications and decreases were recognized in residential and pipeline properties. The RM utilizes differential mill tares – calculating levies using Urban Ward Rural Ward and at large which
are those expenses allocated to all properties. The overall assessment for the Urban Ward decreased by $326,830 - .04%. The Rural Ward increased by $11,474,360. – 10.29%. At Large increased by $11,147,530. – 5.76%. Southwest Horizon School Division (SHSD) 2018 requirement as increased by $85,255. Brandon School Division in creased $1882. Provincial Education Support Levy has decreased by $13,365. The SHSD mill rate has decreased by 0.141 mill and the Provincial Levy mill rate has decreased by 0.729. The Provincial Levy is not assessed to residential and farm classed properties. The Municipal mill rates are calculated by the municipality using the dollars required to operate the municipality in 2018. Municipal mill rate changes for 2018 are: Urban mill rate will increase by 0.818 of a mill; Rural mill rate will decrease by 0.492 of a mill; the At-large mill rate will decrease by 0.653 of a mill. An additional mill rate in 2018 will be assessed for the borrowing of funds for the Civic Centre renovation project of 0.083 of a mill. Dollars raised with these mills will be as follows: Urban - $61,693.; Rural - $61817.; At large - $20,090. The additional debenture for Civic centre will raise the required debenture payment of $16,030.
How will this affect your taxes? Here are a few examples: If you have a residential property in the Urban ward, which overall assessment decreased by 2.94%: Property valued at $250,000. – using the residential proportioned amount of 45% x municipal mill rate of 19.994 and the school mill rate of 10.412, the municipal levy will increase by $19.57 and the school levy will decrease by $50.77 for a total decrease of $31.20 from the 2017 tax levy. Commercial property in the Urban ward which overall assessment increased by 15.55% - Property valued at $400,000.; using the commercial property assessment of 65% x the municipal mill rate of 19.994 and school mill rate of 20.183, the municipal levy will increase by $866.08 and the school levy will increase by $510.48 for a total increase of $1376.51 from the 2017 tax levy. Farm class property in the Rural ward – overall assessment increase of 25.94%. A property valued at $400,000 using the farm portioned assessment of 26% of the assessed value x the municipal mill rate of 10.053 and the school mill rate of 10.412, the municipal levy will increase by $168.24 and the school levy will increased by $211.39 for a total of $379.67 from the 2017 tax levy.

Budget discrepanices raise concern during Souris Glenwood Financial Hearing
Souris Vally Bigway a true community supporter
Souris Valley Bigway Foods has donated $1,500 to the Souris Daycare. Bigway management, Ramona Taylor and Darryl Moreau and staff were sympathetic when they heard about the financial woes faced by the Centre earlier this year. Realizing the importance of a Daycare facility, they created a fundraiser where 1% of all sale in the month of March, up to a maximum of $1500. would be donated to the Centre. While they fell short of that goal, both Ramona and Darryl felt strongly that they needed to commit to the project and they topped up the fund to $1500. Pictured here, Ramona and Darryl make the donating to Daycare representative, Teagan Kliever.

They did explain that without the Chief Administrative Officer on hand to explain the budget, they could not address those questions. Councillor Mark Gillis explained that while the Municipal budget is very complicate, he does feel confident in voting for it as it is. “I know that to a layperson, some of the columns are difficult to understand and don’t add up,” he stated. “I am an accountant and I can’t explain them. Municipal budgets are very complicated. I do know that if we can balance our budget, keep our tax increase in the 3% range and give good service to our ratepayers, that’s something I can support. And that’s what we’ve done here”

Christopher Light honoured with award By Judy Wells The Interprovincial Association on Native Employment (IANE) Inc. Westman Chapter, held its Champion Luncheon on April 12. Chris Light of Turtle Mountain Resort was recognized with a Champion of Aboriginal Employment Award. A bit about IANE — IANE is a non-political, nonprofit, nonsectarian, volunteer organization promoting the employment of Aboriginal people by networking and sharing information on best employment practices. One of IANE’s objectives is to recognize employers and individuals demonstrating successful employment initiatives supporting the hiring, training, retention and advancement of Aboriginal people. “I’m very honoured and thankful to be a recipient of this great award for 2018. It’s a great feeling to have had some wonderful employees that share our grass roots heritage. During a time of reconciliation, it’s nice to be recognized and to be accepted and supported throughout
our lake community means so much.” When asked what advice he had for the youth Light answered, “To the youth, be proud of who you are and your heritage, listen and learn from the elders in your life, they are so valuable in forming you into the person you will become. You can do anything in life if you have a vision of what you want, followed by hard work, perseverance, and strength. “I would also like to thank my lovely wife Carol, she’s smart, beautiful and so supportive in all I do, she really makes this all possible. Also to my children Dawson, Walker and Sage. I love you all so much. Thanks to my extended family and friends for your support through everything. In closing a big thank you to IANE (Interprovincial Association of Aboriginal Employment), the committee, and to the other award winners. Thank you,” concluded Light. Chris and his wife Carol are the owner/operators of Turtle Mountain Resort at Lake Metigoshe.

EDITORIAL The MCNA intends to enhance communication
By John Kendle John Kendle is managing editor of Canstar Community News, which publishes six weekly community newspapers in Winnipeg and area. He is also a director of the Manitoba Community Newspapers Association. Cathy Cox, provincial Sport, Culture and Heritage minister, assured publishers and staff of the province’s 48 community newspapers that public notices required of provincial and municipal governments will remain in newspapers while speaking at the Manitoba Community Newspapers Association’s 99th annual dinner on April 14. Cox said that — despite clauses in Bill 8 (The Government Notices Modernization Act) and Bill 19 (The Planning Amendment Act) which strike requirements that such notices be placed in newspapers — the Progressive Conservative government of Manitoba would pass the bills in their current form but would not “proclaim” into law the sections pertaining to public notices. She repeated that position three days later at a meeting with MCNA’s board of directors. While Cox clearly meant well, her announcement simply doesn’t go far enough. Leaving sections of these bills “unproclaimed” means that government could enact these provisions without warning or consultation. The thought does not sit well. That a government will have legislation on the books that does away with requirements to publish government and municipal notices in newspapers could make it difficult for Manitobans to actively participate in the democratic process. The province’s community newspapers, which publish more than 400,000 copies each week and which boast readership numbers of 80 per cent, are the surest way of informing the public of the activities and business of provincial and municipal governments. Making notices available only online, as proposed, not only assumes that people will actively seek them out, which is highly unlikely, it blatantly ignores those Manitobans with poor or no internet access. The only proper way to deal with Bill 8 (sponsored by Min. Cox)
and Bill 19 (sponsored by Municipal Relations minister James Wharton) is to either amend the sections that deal with public notices or to withdraw the bills altogether. Over the past week, MCNA directors have met with the NDP caucus, the Liberal caucus and independent MLA Steven Fletcher, all of whom fully support our positions on Bills 8 and 19. The NDP has gone so far as to ensure that Bill 8 will be held over until the fall session of Legislature to allow for further debate. That leaves Bill 19 to be dealt with in this, the spring session of the current Legislature. When Min. Wharton called for second reading of Bill 19 in the Manitoba Legislative Assembly on April 19, he was asked by several opposition MLAs how the government would deal with the public notice requirement. According to Hansard, he said: “The government will seek to amend the bill to ensure newspaper-notice requirements is preserved.” The MCNA intends to hold Min. Wharton to his word. In the next week, a standing committee will be called to discuss Bill 19 and to hear from the public on the bill. Every Manitoban may appear before the committee to express concerns with the bill in the hope it will be amended. The MCNA and its member papers will be in attendance to encourage the committee to propose an amendment to Section 25 of Bill 19 – the section removing the requirement to advertise public notices pertaining to the Municipal Planning Act. The government is proposing the requirement be changed to simply posting notice on a municipality’s or planning department’s website for 27 days prior to any public hearing. The MCNA will request that Bill 19 maintain the current requirement to place public notices in newspapers, and that it add a requirement to also post them on a municipality’s or planning department’s website. Such an amendment will truly enhance communication between government and the public — not reduce it, as Bill 19 does in its current form.
Merger announced between Sunrise and Strathclair Credit Unions
submitted Sunrise Credit Union is pleased to announce they are in discussions to merge operations with Strathclair Credit Union, effective January 1st, 2019. The primary objective of the merger is to improve member service through an expanded geographic area, increase and improve product offerings, enhance career opportunities for employees, and drive greater operational efficiencies and cost savings through economies of scale. Both Strathclair and Sunrise Credit Unions are member-owned and community focused. It is these foundational and co-operative philosophies that bring these two like-minded organizations together. Because merging with Strathclair accounts for less than a 10% increase in assets for Sunrise, the Sunrise Board of Directors without a full membership vote can approve the merger. Strathclair Credit Union members, however, will have a chance to vote at an upcoming meeting, date to be announced. Strathclair Credit Union has 2,800 mem-
bers and $94.7 million assets, bringing the amalgamated organization to 27,000 members strong with over $1.1 billion assets. Following the merger, members of the combined organization will have access to personalized service from 20 communities in Southwestern Manitoba and staff will benefit from an expanded range of development opportunities. About Sunrise Credit Union Sunrise Credit Union was formed in 2008 through the strategic merger of its five legacy Credit Unions- respectively, Virden (est. 1940), Turtle Mountain (est. 1940), Hartney (est. 1942), Tiger Hills (est. 1943) and Cypress River (est. 1960). 24,000 Sunrise members receive personalized service from branches in Baldur, Boissevain, Brandon, Cypress River, Deloraine, Grandview, Hartney, Holland, Laurier, Melita, Reston, Sandy Lake, Ste. Rose du lac, Treherne, Virden, and Waskada. The Strathclair Credit Union Society Limited was incorporated in 1944 and serves over 2,800 members from branches in Strathclair, Shoal Lake and Oakburn.

Souris Elks Hockey Club hosts year-end awards night
Souris Elks Top Defenseman award – Jordan Greig
Jordan is a defenseman that logs a lot of ice time, is certainly not afraid to rush the puck and often likes to play keep away with the other team; he is very strong on his skates. Jordan also captured the Elks Scoring Title. He led the team with 10 goals and 14 assists in 17 games. Kris Doull (L) and Ken Falloon (R) present to Jordan Greig.
Mel Charles award for All-around player Brett Arbuckle
Brett played in all 18 games this year, and very rarely missed a practice. He has been a big part of the success of the Elks golf tournament since it began, this year he painted the back storage room, and he has been your player representative on the board for the past five years. He is no stranger to this award, winning it five times in the last eight. Kris Doull (L) and Ken Falloon (R) present the award to Brett Arbuckle.
Lynn “Moon” Kettles Memorial Award Holly Doull
The Moon Kettles Award is given to a player or elk supporter who exemplifies sportsmanship, ability and dedication to the Souris Elks. Holly shows up at the rink an hour before game time and very rarely gets to see the first period. She has been doing her job for six years now and very rarely has she not balanced at the end of the night. As well as her time spent at the rink she is in charge of deposits and replenishing the float between games, the work behind the scene. Kris Doull (L) and Ken Falloon (R) present the award to Holly Doull.
By Darci Semeschuk The Souris Elks had a good year finishing fourth in their division with an 11-4-1-2 record. One other statistic that is noteworthy is that the Elks had the second best goals against in the league with 55. (3.0 goals per game.) The next team was Boissevain at 73. The Elks year ended when Wawanesa defeated them in playoffs in February. The team held their annual awards bight on April 13 with 60 players; supporters and volunteers were on hand to commemorate the season. Team president, Kris Doull expressed his appreciation to all the volunteers that work to make the Elks a success. “Our philosophy is to involve as many supporters in the clubs operation,” he explained. “If we all do a little it is certainly easier to operate.” Chris Couling led the fundraising committee. The Elks golf tournament, rec hockey tournament, hot stoves and jets ticket draw raised over $11,000. Murray Cameron organized the three scoreboards and raised over $4,200. Linda Ryckman, head of publicity and promotions raised over $3,400. Awards were presented as follows: Rookie of the Year - #1 Dane Fortin Dane was on the bench for all 18 games this year.

Manitoba Public Insurance to provide funding for police to take aim at distracted drivers submitted With an average of one in three road deaths in Manitoba and thousands of collisions attributed to distracted driving annually, Manitoba Public Insurance is once again funding a highly successful road safety initiative aimed at drivers who continue to illegally use hand-held electronic devices while driving. Manitoba’s public auto insurer is providing approximately $200,000 in funding to support enhanced police enforcement programs, which began earlier this month and will run throughout April. Additional campaigns are planned for July and the fall. The campaign launches on the heels of tough new distracted driving legislation announced last month by the Government of Manitoba. “This campaign is a joint initiative between Manitoba Public Insurance, the RCMP and police services in Winnipeg, Brandon, Winkler, Morden, Rivers, Altona and Dakota Ojibway. For the seventh consecutive year, Manitoba Public Insurance funding will be used to enhance regular enforcement efforts by our police partners,” explained Ward Keith, vice-president, Business Development and Communications, Manitoba Public Insurance. “Over the past seven years of these distracted driving campaigns, nearly 10,000 provincial offence notices were issued by law enforcement partners. This is a clear indication that more work is required to address growing concerns about distracted driving.” Distracted driving collisions rising Distracted driving collisions in the province increased from 2,415 in 2011 to 11,086 in 2016, according to Manitoba Public Insurance data. The direct insurance costs associated with distracted driving have been estimated at least $70 million per year, a figure that ultimately affects the insurance premiums that all vehicle owners pay. “These joint awareness and enforcement projects are a good example of how road safety partners can work together to align efforts and maximize outcomes for the safety of all road users,” said Keith. “Together they send a powerful message that high-risk driving behaviours contributing to collisions, serious injuries and fatalities are no longer acceptable and will not be tolerated. Everyone is entitled to be safe on our roadways.” Fostering safer roads for all “We cannot stress enough the importance of being focused while driving on Manitoba’s roadways,” said RC-

MP Assistant Commissioner Scott Kolody, President of the Manitoba Association of Chiefs of Police. “It is paramount that all drivers make every effort to make good decisions while driving and not get distracted. The decision to pay attention on the road can save lives. Many of the deaths we see on our roadways are avoidable, and it is imperative that people think about the consequences of their actions.

Residential School Learning Centre comes to St. Paul’s submitted St. Paul’s United Church, Souris hosted a showing of the Brandon Indian Residential School learning centre April 12 to 13. Some 150 people viewed the United Church project which traces the day-today operation of the institution and experiences of Indigenous children who were at the school from its opening in 1895 to its closing in 1972, Grade five and six students from Souris School were among those attending. An Indigenous elder also led the students in a sharing circle. Soup, made by UCW members, and
Students take part in sharing circle while attending the Brandon Indian Residential School mobile learning centre at St. Paul’s United Church.

bannock were served to those in attendance. Church member Karen Maryniuk was busy making 12 batches of bannock, which she showed some of the students how to make. Visitors donated $380 towards the care of the learning centre display. The purpose of the display is to bring to life the challenges experienced by Indigenous children and their families with the goal or promoting greater understanding.
