INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE Your Source for Community News – Locally Owned and Produced May 27, 2015 3 Students get early introduction to arts and culture By Roger Newman She and Cranston - who ran the program with fellow teacher Carolyn Antonio - said the Hammers’ methods of instruction were the fun part for the youngsters. Students at Winnipeg Beach School are learning about the arts, culture and their community at an early age. “They used polkas, jigs and drums to illustrate the ties between music and cultures,” Lachuta said of the couple who are known for their Celtic music. “And the students had to create their own instruments from different materials. They also had to make their own toys such as rag dolls - they couldn’t just go to the store.” That became apparent last Wednesday when Evergreen School Board trustees were briefed on the Artssmarts program involving 40 students in the school’s two grade 1-2 classes. Principal Shawna Rudd and teachers Andrea Cranston and Michelle Lachuta came to the board’s regular meeting to describe the Manitoba Arts Council program which establishes connections between students and artists and performers in the community. Winnipeg Beach principal Shawna Rudd and teachers Andrea Cranston and Michelle Lachuta (from left) told the Evergreen School Board that the school’s six and seven year-olds enjoyed learning about the arts and their community when they recently participated in a special program. With the help of the program, the beach school was able to invite local musicians Susan and Paul Hammer to add to the knowledge of the six and seven year-olds during seven 90-minute morning sessions spread over seven months. band and wife team, are well-qualified professionals with a background of 20-plus years working with teachers and schools. She said the couple used music, dance and storytelling as the tools for the young students to learn about the main cultural groups in the comLachuta said the Hammers, a hus- munity and discuss such terms as immigration and diversity. “It was exciting stuff,” Lachuta told trustees. “Our students explored the culture and personal histories of Winnipeg Beach families, learning there is lots of diversity in our community” When the presentation was over, Trustee Dianna Auer expressed the reaction of most trustees. “The kids obviously had a blast,” said Auer who was told the Hammers are coming back to the school for a wind-up celebration. Superintendent Paul Cuthbert had the last word. “The arts bring many benefits. They are an important part of our curriculum and that will continue to be the case,” he said.

We will also continue to help rural communities retain doctors. With the increased use of nurse practitioners, rural Manitobans are getting better and better health care every year. The theme of ‘shop local- buy local’ is also a key part of growing the rural economy, and we are working with small-scale food producers and processors to ensure that Manitobans have safe access to locally grown food. And finally, I would like to say that it is truly a great honor to work with farmers and farm organizations. I want to thank the 19,000 farm families in this province for the great work they do and for the good, healthy food they provide.

Several St Andrews residents attended this year’s budget hearing, including former St Andrews mayor Don Forfar, who aimed a number of pointed questions at the current council. Conspicuously missing from the May 12 meeting was CAO Sue Sutherland, who is currently away on a paid leave of absence for personal reasons. Finance chairman Counc. Russ Paradoski gave a detailed budget summary as well as highlights for the upcoming year. Taxes will remain stable, according to Paradoski, with St Andrews residents not seeing any substantial tax increases for the 2015 year. The 2015 mill rate hovers at 11.164%, which is a bare decrease of .001% from the 2014 rate. The 2015 municipal assessment is $680,763,840, which shows a minimal 0.7% increase over the 2014 assessment. Overall school tax levies have increased by 4.47%. Reserves for 2015 shows an amount of over $4,300,000, (after a transfer of approximately half a million dollars, from reserves fund into Operations). “The R.M. of St. Andrews currently has NO debt,” Paradoski noted in his report. Scheduled Improvements for 2015 Prominent on the St Andrews to-do list is repair and maintenance of the Petersfield lagoon, which has been allowed to degrade to a deteriorated and un-operational state. The municipality plans to introduce a chemical additive to the lagoon that will reduce the sludge, as well as discharge of the lagoon cells later this month. The municipality hopes that both of these actions will bring the lagoon back into operation, but will also be conducting preliminary Engineering to investigate the addition of a new cell at the Petersfield lagoon. Several much-needed road improvements are also on the agenda for 2015; specifically, portions of Sawchuk By Jim Mosher Geo-engineering, genetically modified organisms, engineered nanoparticles.

Municipal initiative casts long shadow over ambitious, community-driven plan By Jim Mosher “This is in that category of that great dream that sits on the horizon, and has always moved this community forward.” That’s what long-time town mayor Bill Barlow, then an RM of Gimli councillor, said in June 2008 after a presentation by Eric Stefanson, then chairman of a coalition of service groups which sought support to examine the possibility of building a multiplex, including a swimming pool, arts-recreation-community hall, wellness facility. At that same meeting, Stefanson, waxing philosophical, said. “Often we can be caught in the trap of utilitarianism. The trap that tells us we cannot afford something as extravagant as this or that. The trap that denies beauty because of additional costs beyond the functional necessity. Something that drives councils to strive to keep taxes low, not because of their frugality or efficiency, but because they don’t realize at a fundamental level that the reasons taxes are as low as they are is because of the quality-of-life decisions that people and companies have Announcing Manitoba’s 2015 Individual Flood Protection Initiative Helping you protect your home, farm and business buildings • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • If you own a home, farm or business in a part of Manitoba that was affected by flooding in 2014 or that would have flooded in the absence of temporary flood protection measures, you may be eligible to receive assistance from the 2015 Individual Flood Protection Initiative.

(The council vote was unanimous.) The presentation came on the heels of a municipally-sponsored recreation needs assessment which had identified a swimming pool as among respondents’ top ‘wishes’. It was an electric time. It seemed the broader community, younger and older, were being heard. Fast forward seven years. The multiplex concept is on the ropes. It’s in limbo, as Stefanson said in a recent interview. The latest edition of Gimli council is advancing its own plan, one that borrows from the volunteers’ proposal but does not include a swimming pool. One can understand why Stefanson and others are wondering why they’ve been cut loose. However, no one can deny that elected councils have an obligation to ensure their treasuries can sustain spending. At closing in on $20 million, the committee’s multiplex is pretty rich. We should remember that the fall election of 2014 was, in many ways, a referendum on the ambitious multiplex project, which the previous council had mightily opposed. Three of the five members of that council were re-elected, leaving little hope that they would now embrace the project. BRAINSTORMING AFTER NEEDS ASSESSMENT The multiplex concept emerged about eight years ago when Stefanson and Dave Leblanc began brainstorming about encouraging Gimli service clubs to join an effort to build a swimming pool on municipally-owned land near the Gimli Recreation Centre. Four Gimli service clubs — Rotary, Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus and Kinsmen — later agreed to put their oar in with the fledgling committee. The swimming pool push had been identified as a high priority in the community by a recreational needs assessment conducted during the 2006-10 council of Tammy Axelsson. In 2010, the multiplex committee presented its preliminary plan to council. It had grown from its original single goal to include a community hall, wellness centre and an indoor field sports/multiturf facility. The cost at the time was pegged at $32.5-million. The committee asked council for an annual $250,000 commitment. It was a bad ask, particularly considering that 2010 was an election year. In the fall, the only two candidates who expressed clear support for the multiplex were not elected. Those who were elected were cautious or openly called for a referendum on the multiplex matter during their campaigns. In 2012, this new council commissioned its own study, the authors of which concluded, though the region could support a swimming pool — always the key sticking point — it would be prudent to forgo the project ... for now. (The same consulting firm had conducted a similar study in 2009, reaching essentially the same conclusions.) “In this 2012 update, it is clear that the market has grown to a size where a minimum number of swims necessary to justify a new pool are now evident,” the report by Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants stated in its summary and conclusions section. “With a projected usage of 90,000 swims per year, a modest, but high quality pool can now be justified in terms of the minimum usage required to make it viable.” By George, there it was. Not so fast. “However,” the authors immediately cautioned, “viability is not affordability. This pool is now a great deal more expensive than the same facility contemplated in 1989. Building and operating it would require a very significant tax increase.” The council of 2010-2014 fastened to this conclusion, though it was later qualified by the consultants, i.e. it could be done if there was the will and community support. This council would later use the consulting firm’s conclusion, conflating it with their own political objectives, in a letter sent to Winnipeg electors in the final days of the October 2014 campaign. There is no question that many voters were swayed by the letter, particularly those who have permanent homes in Winnipeg and other places. Nor is there any question that council has the power, perhaps even fiscal obligation, to ensure what they may see as the bigger majority is represented. (It should be noted that now-Mayor Randy Woroniuk did not win a ringing endorsement for his campaign olive branches to the multiplex plan.) Stefanson, the committee he leads and, presumably, the many citizens who supported the multiplex dream had hoped for a changing of the guard. That did not happen. Gimli blinked 26 years ago when it demurred on the pool, after getting advice from the same firm the last Gimli council sought counsel from. 10 May 27, 2015The INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE Multiplex chairman waits for meeting with Gimli mayor A schematic from multiplex committee’s 2010 proposal.

We need to look at the reality of it. We’re trying to move forward. People have to step back. This is the furthest they’ve got in eight years. At least I was able to get council to listen.” While council seems to have clearly set out its intent to move forward on its own, Stefanson would like to hear it from the horse’s mouth. Stefanson says he’s frustrated but not yet willing to throw in the towel. Others, however, have abandoned what appears to be a sinking ship, including Everett Lloyd and Ken Krulicki earlier this year. Lloyd is a former town councillor and headed the Gimli Local Urban District committee, formed as a transitional group after the 2003 amalgamation of the RM of Gimli and the Town of Gimli. Krulicki is a legendary volunteer, who’s worked with Gimli sports teams. He said in an interview that what he believes is council’s blinkered view precludes decisive action. “I figured I could funnel my energies somewhere else,” Krulicki said March 22. “Let’s start thinking ahead. Let’s start with the same mentality that built the existing curling and hockey complex. But council just won’t be shaken.” INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE Your Source for Community News – Locally Owned and Produced Correction notice May 20, 2015 issue – May 27, 2015 11 Royal LePage JMB & Associates 30 Thorvaldson Dr. Gimi R.M Re: “Student teams tie in filmmaking contest” (page 18).

Durante la muestra itinerante que recorrió tres las principales ciudades del país (Bogotá, Cali y Medellín), la delegación ecuatoriana destacó su producto nacional con una variada oferta que va desde deportes extremos en caudalosos ríos como el Napo o Quijos, hasta destinos paradisíacos como Galápagos. Los cerca de 1.600 asistentes al VII Salón del Turismo disfrutaron de muestras culturales, gastronomía típica y presentación musicales. La Estrategia La agresiva campaña publicitaria que inició Ecuador en Colombia para incentivar el turismo receptivo de ese país ha tenido gran acogida, gracias a la fuerza de sus destinos y a la presencia en eventos del sector por todo el territorio nacional. P.1 Exitoso E El Subsecretario de turismo del Ecuador, Carlos Guzmán, aseguró a los medios locales que la inversión en promoción de su país asciende a los 20 millones de dólares por año, lo que los ha posicionado como un importante destino a nivel internacional.

Tan sólo en el 2010 recibieron 46 mil turistas internacionales y se espera que al cierre de este período lleguen cerca de 1 millón de visitantes según cálculos de Guzmán. Pero la estrategia de promoción va encaminada a un fuerte trabajo de alianzas estratégicas entre operadores de ambos países y aerolíneas con rutas entre los principales destinos de Ecuador y Colombia.

P.2 12 May 27, 2015The INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE Editorial Comment Is your internet connection being throttled? By Marlene Ness Ok, I admit it. I’m a techie. However before today I’d never even heard the term “throttling” data. It’s a little spoken-about money-saving policy of MTS, in regards to harnessing their so-called unlimited data plans. In my opinion, it ranks right up there with snake oil sales. MTS brags about being the only cell phone carrier to offer unlimited data plans.
