A losing game

ur roads are in shambles and Manitobans are concerned about cutbacks to health care, yet last month, the provincial government announced that it is writing off $82 million in loans to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The loans are related to the construction of the Bombers’ new stadium, Investor’s Group Field, and are part of a saga that has been filled with nothing but bad news for taxpayers.

The new stadium opened in 2013, but right from the start, there were problems, beginning with the location.

The stadium was moved from an accessible and well developed location just north of Polo Park, to a site at the University of Manitoba, full of choke points for both car and transit users.

The Polo Park location’s redevelopment was to help pay for the new stadium. When the land was sold to a partnership of Cadillac Fairview and Shindico Realty, the City of Winnipeg put $7.5 million towards the new stadium. The property taxes generated from the redevelopment were supposed to cover payments on the new stadium’s $75 million loan. A new store for Target was built at the site, but with the American retailer pulling out of its Canadian operations, the site has done little to pay its way. Once fully developed, the site was supposed to generate $7 million a year in property taxes, but in 2017, City of Winnipeg figures showed it had only generated a total of $3 million.

Kate Jackman-Atkinson Beyond the issue of location, the new stadium has suffered from numerous physical problems, including drainage, damage due to leaks, cracking concrete and freezing pipes.

The province guaranteed $35 million in loans to repair the deficiencies and in 2017, it was announced that the remediation work would take another two years. In 2015, the problems led Triple B Stadium, the group that includes the city, province, University of Manitoba and Winnipeg Football Club, to bring a lawsuit against both Stuart Olson, the stadium contractor, and Ray Wan, its architect.

The stadium cost about $209 million to build, but recent figures from the Auditor General show that with the additional remediation work, the price is expected to rise to over $270 million. With this most recent announcement, the province has written off $201 million in loans related to the construction of the stadium. In announcing the most recent write-off, the provincial government pointed fingers

at the previous NDP government, which negotiated the deal, accusing them of cooking the books. Current NDP leader Wab Kinew took the unusual step of admitting that the decision made by the previous leadership was wrong.

Right from the beginning, the new stadium felt like a build first, ask questions later sort of deal. The old stadium was out of date and developers saw a prime piece of real estate. The project was pushed along at each stage, setting up short timelines that meant it was only a question of when something would go wrong, not if. The government and the public were swept up and no one asked the hard questions: Is the facility affordable? Who will pay for it and how?

There was clearly no Plan B should the redevelopment of the former site not achieve its objectives.

What exactly the football club’s financial obligations will be going forward remain unclear. What is clear is that the facility, which hosts 10 regular season football games and a few other events, can’t even come close to paying back the cost of construction.

We all want things we can’t afford and this hard lesson needs to be remembered for each new project aimed at benefiting a small group of Manitobans. Now that the provincial government has forgiven most of the loans to construct the stadium, perhaps it’s time to think about ways that investment could be used to benefit all Manitobans.

Stirring the pot

T

he Province of Manitoba is embarking on what looks like a very dumb move. They are talking about banning marijuana in cookies. Like, good luck with that.

Maybe it should be against the law, but who on earth is going to enforce it?

Why not just make it illegal to be high in public and cut the nonsense surrounding this issue? Nobody in their right mind will be able to pay enough police staff to control this. Marijuana consumption is legal now, just as smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol. It’s illegal to smoke in public places. It’s illegal to consume or to carry open liquor around. It is illegal to smoke pot publicly. Rules, rules and more rules. The more rules you make, the more you have to make.

Trust a government to screw things up. Simplicity is the answer. Don’t smoke in restricted areas. Don’t be drunk or high in public to the point you are a menace to yourself or others.

I personally don’t get the idea of smoking. I have never smoked pot.

Even though I attended university in the 1960s, I only know about seeing pot smoked once. People laugh at me because I still don’t recognize the smell of pot. At any rate, smoking is legal and I agree with that, but don’t be smoking around others. If you want to smoke, go ahead, but don’t inflict the destructive habit on other people. That’s all I ask.

Governments think they can shape

MY PERSPECTIVE

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell all aspects of society with more rules.

Making, selling and drinking alcohol used to be illegal in North America. It didn’t work out all that well. As soon as you make something illegal, it goes underground and with bad consequences. The drug trade preys on the young and the weakened in our society.

It’s quite sad really.

Now that marijuana is legal, it will be only a matter of time until other drugs move up the acceptability chain. It’s a death march and I don’t pretend to have the solution. I also feel deep sympathy for people who are hooked on drugs and deeper sympathy for people who have lost loved ones to drugs. I guess if someone can figure out why people ever start into drugs, they will get rich pretty fast as the whole world would like that answer. I do know that some kids get lured and sucked into the drug world and I have zero sympathy for the people who do the luring.

I think I would like everyone to take the whole drug and alcohol thing a bit more seriously. Just think about it, is

the misuse of pot or other drugs really a joking matter? Many times you hear people joking and talking about getting drunk or getting high. To me it’s not a joke, it’s a very serious issue. It’s only when someone gets really hurt physically or emotionally or when someone dies that the discussion becomes very sobering. Do people have to die before consequences are taken seriously? Being high, getting drunk, charcoaling your lung linings, none of this is funny.

More laws and more rules won’t change the situation. People’s hearts have to change and that means we have to look beyond ourselves. The solution starts with the letter “G” but it’s not Government, it’s God. Disclaimer: The writer serves as a volunteer president of the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association.

It was always changing; a nurse, doctor or a marine biologist Comment: I somewhat reluctantly moved to Rivers 4 years ago, but this town has slowly won me over. I love having the lake and park minutes away, and have made some wonderful friends. Rivers has become my community and home.

t didn’t take me very long this year! I have a raised bed, a flower bed and had vegetables alongside the house. Nothing got planted until I got home from a holiday, mid June is a little late to grow great expectations. The radishes were marvellous, better than any I have ever grown, and I pulled the remnant when they went to seed. The peas climbed their fence and the ones Miss Daisy didn’t find were wonderful.

They got pulled up when they dried up. It was much the same with the cucumbers; they produced well, with an abundance of watering, and Miss Daisy could find the wee ones hiding under the rough leaves. I think she wants to be a vegetarian, climbing in and out of the raised bed at will. Good thing she doesn’t like tomatoes, we ate our share of them. It was a steady clean up as the plant dried up, and that makes for an easy last round at the garden.

For years, I grew corn. Rows and rows of corn. Most years, I left the stalks standing, allowing the deer and the racoons a fall and winter treat. They were so deeply rooted that it was easier to dig them out in spring than in fall. I used the woodland creatures as an excuse. This year I grew no corn, benefitting from a gardening fiend that grew enough for the neighbourhood. It was much the same with potatoes. There was a time when I hauled bags full down cellar only to haul bags full back up in the spring. This year, I wanted one plant but never got around to planting it – says something about how important it really was! Again, I was given all that I needed and wanted. So no clean up for that either.

I dug the gladiolas, pulled up the petunias, (plural on both of those!) and planted a corner of bulbs. When I moved off the acreage, I was adamant that I did not want any of the flowers that were growing there. I didn’t. However, I want flowers now.

Tulips, little purple flowers, little white flowers. Got them all

for Councillor in the Riverdale Municipality My name is Dave Falkevitch and I am a candidate for councillor in the upcoming election on October 24th 2018. I have 12 years of experience on council both in the former RM of Daly and the amalgamated Riverdale Municipality. I have been, and continue to be involved in many organizations within our great community. I look forward to serving this community for another four years and to help keep it a great place to live and raise a family. I humbly ask for your support on October 24th.

settled down for their long winter’s nap. I have something in the garden to look forward to come spring.

I had this wonderful image of composting. I was even given an authentic composter. It has been disappointing. The mass has been watered, warmed, turned. Additives have been added. Late summer I scooped out a five gallon pail of good soil. And left the rest to mature.

Folks explain how easy it is to make good compost. I faithfully cut watermelon and cantaloupe rinds into tiny pieces, crushed egg shells, above and beyond the required work. My daughter stuffed her garbage bin with holes drilled into the sides with fall leaves, added the leavings from making mead, and had a wonderful soil additive. Maybe I am trying too hard!

There is something deeply satisfying about gardening. It is healthy and therapeutic. There is something awesome about cleaning up the last of the garden, and dreaming of the perfect one for next year.

Dear Editor, Ducks Unlimited Canada is pleased with the findings of a recent Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) report that identifies a greater need for wetlands and other natural infrastructure as a cost-effective way to limit the expensive damage done by floods and extreme weather.

We hope the report -- combined with recent funding announcements for green infrastructure and initiatives that reduce the potential impacts of natural disaster, and the recently-passed Sustainable Watersheds Act – will encourage governments, municipalities and conservation groups to pursue new projects together.

In its report, Combatting Canada’s Rising Flood Costs: Natural infrastructure is an underutilized option, released on Sept. 18, IBC provides a way to assess the total economic value, benefits and potential for natural infrastructure such as wetlands. It concludes that governments and water managers need to consider these natural alternatives, alongside concrete and steel solutions, for managing water on the landscape.

This new assessment tool will allow governments, municipalities and conservation groups to make a business case for preserving and restoring wetlands.

Further, in new funding under the Canada Infrastructure Program, DUC sees an opportunity to partner with Manitoba municipalities and watershed districts.

We already have successful programs in place. As a conservation leader with more than 80 years of experience, DUC is in a strong position to provide natural solutions that address flooding and extreme weather.

In fact, we’ve worked with landowners to protect and restore wetlands for decades, and we’re constantly seeking new partners to continue that work.

Not only do wetlands slow the flow of water and help prevent flooding, they filter nutrients and provide clean water, supply wildlife habitat, and store climatechanging carbon.

Wetlands continue to be lost, but we hope the report, recent funding announcements, and the new act will foster the culture of conservation that continues to grow in Manitoba.

Rivers 50+ Meeting Minutes

By Myrtle Wooldridge Rivers 50+ Rivers 50 Plus Club met on September 20, 2018, with 26 members in attendance.

A letter was received from Westman Senior Council.

Since the 50 Plus Club was formed many years ago it has been the custom to close the club for the summer months.

This year we decided to open for crib on Mondays. We had between 17 and 25 members attending. July we attended a picnic at Beaudin’s. August we attended potluck lunch and games with Rapid City Seniors Club. During the summer two lanes of the floor curling surface were scraped, washed and waxed. Surface of the curling rocks were sanded.

Wray Douglas thanked everyone who came out to work on the floors. Members enjoyed the summer activities. The

men will play pool at the Club room on Wednesday at 1:00 o’clock and at the Legion on Saturdays.

A motion to pay for the 50 Plus sign, costing $500 was approved.

Some adjustments have been made to the games schedule calendar as new games are being introduced, namely two-man floor curling, sticks (card game), some members trying out Pickle Ball.

Discussion took place about raising fees for meals/lunches when we host games from $10 to $15. A committee will be formed to work out prices.

The Club will only host two,

possible three games this year.

We have hosted four games and the work load is to great for our members. The date for our Christmas Dinner and concert is Dec. 13.

Wray Douglas, Games coordinator presented a report.

Contact Wayne Brown if interested in 5 pin bowling in either Minnedosa or Brandon.

Several members sat at the Birthday/Anniversary table and were served cake and ice-cream. The table was attractively decorated with a fall theme.

Alastair McFadden

For Riverdale Municipality Council My name is Alastair McFadden and I am a candidate for the office of councillor in the October 24th municipal election. I am proud to call Rivers my home and would be honoured to serve the community as councillor. At age 28, while I may be a younger candidate, I believe my past experiences and fresh perspective will be an asset to council moving forward. I grew up on a family farm three miles SE of Rivers where I continue to work growing grain and poultry with my dad, uncle and brother. In 2008 I graduated high school from RCI and then went on to attain a degree in Agriculture from the University of Manitoba in 2013 where I served on a number of student bodies. I continue to remain active in our community as president of the Comets senior baseball team and as a volunteer at the United Church in various capacities. I believe the future for Riverdale is very bright. We have a strong foundation to build upon, and I look forward to working with everyone as we continue to grow for many years to come. Thank you for your support!

I encourage you all to get out and vote on October 24th.

Rapid City lagoon Additional information is being sought from our engineer.

Waste management and recycling –a tipping fee by-law is being reviewed.

Rapid City Reservoir Restoration – a letter was sent to MIT and additional insureds were put on our insurance policy. An application for a grant was submitted to the Brandon and Area Community Foundation.

Property standards Re-inspections were completed Sept. 20, 2018 and reports are being completed by Mid-West Planning.

Boundary road agreements – agreements are still being reviewed by neighbouring municipalities.

Cemeter ies in Oakview – a request from a ratepayer received in 2017 was reviewed again

by Council in regards to remediating burial sites and re-locating headstones in several burial locations in the municipality. After further discussion, Council indicated that they were not prepared to complete this work at this time.

A letter from ratepayer

– an offer to purchase or enter into a long term lease for certain property in Rapid City and using a back-lane was brought to the attention of Council.

The C.A.O. is to obtain more information in regards to this matter.

3. A.M.M. – Municipal Road and Bridge Program.

Whereas the Province of Manitoba has made $2.25 million available to municipalities in 2018 for the final year of the Municipal Road and Bridge Program; and Whereas $14 million was available to municipalities in 2017 through the Municipal Road and Bridge Program; and Whereas the Municipal Road and Bridge Program was developed in partnership with the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) and provides 50/50 cost- shared funding for Municipal Road and Bridge projects through a single-window application with no red tape; and Whereas Manitoba municipalities regard the Municipal Road and Bridge Programs as critical, predictable, and effective for budgeting and planning

purposes in order to address their infrastructure deficit; and Whereas the Province of Manitoba has announced it will terminate the Municipal Road and Bridge Program by reallocating these funds into the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program; and Whereas the Municipal Road and Bridge program allows municipalities to use Gas Tax revenues for their matching dollars while the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program does not, which puts an even greater burden on property taxes; Therefore be it resolved that the AMM lobby the Province of Manitoba to not proceed with plans to transition the Municipal Road and Bridge Program into Phase 2 of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP2) and fully reinstate the former funding levels for this essential program.

Thunder and Ice Snowmobile Club have requested sponsorship of their trail map for the 2018-2019 season and council agreed to sponsor their map for 2019

in the amount of $260.

Information on biodegradable urns has been received from a memorial company and authorized the placement of biodegradable urns in municipal cemeteries in Oakview which are maintained by the municipality.

Councillor Mark Gill declared a personal interest in the following item and withdrew from the meeting for a motion that authorized the C.A.O. to pay Gill Farms Ltd. for gravelling municipal roads and contract work in the amount of $58,544.82 less a penalty of $2,500.00 for late completion.

Dyer

In 1881, my great grandparents settled in the area commonly referred to as Daly District. As a result, my roots are deeply seated in the Rivers community. I was born and raised here, attended school, and continue to live on the family farm. For the past ten years I have been the general manager of Redsper Enterprises.

As a Municipal Councillor, I currently serve as the chairperson for both the Public Works and Personal Committees and am a member of the Finance Committee. In addition, I am Riverdale Municipality’s representative for the Midwest Weed District and Rollingdale Enterprises. Outside of Council, I serve as the Vice-Chair of Rivers and Area Community Foundation and Treasurer of the Rivers and Area Lion’s Club. Giving back to the community is very important to me.

To quote Tony Robbins, “Life is a gift and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”

On Election Day, Oct. 24th, I ask for your continued support as Councillor for Riverdale Municipality.

McKay announced the plan in a joint news conference on Oct. 16 in Ottawa.

Harper said, “Our swords will henceforth point at the Liberals and not at each other.” McKay said, “This is a reunion of conservatives across Canada. Liberals are in for a shock.”

The leaders, while obviously under a lot of strain, conducted themselves well

and even exchanged a few points of humour in what was described by both as a historic occasion.

October 19, 1983 Manitobans are being encouraged to comment on proposed hazardous waste legislation at special meetings to be held across the province during October and November. The meeting scheduled for Brandon is Oct. 27 at 2:00 p.m. in the Agricultural Extension Centre. The proposed new hazardous waste legislation may have implications in

both the private and public sectors and it is critical to gain as much feedback as possible on the use, transportation and disposal of wastes.

October 18, 1973 Mr. Les Kenyon retired last month after 31 years of operating a barber shop here. He and his wife have left to take up residence at 918-5th St., in Brandon. Mr. Kenyan began his barbering career in 1942.

October 17, 1963 The former air base at Macdonald does not enter

into future plans of the RCAF and there seems to be little doubt that the base will be disposed of. The report comes from S. J. Enns, MP for Portage-Neepawa, who said he wishes to clear up persistent rumours concerning the base. One rumour has been to the effect it might be used for future helicopter training. In a report to The Daily Graphic, Portage La Prairie, Mr. Enns was surprised at a news article on Sept. 3, speculating on alternate uses.

MPI’s financial report

The Creighton Family

Manitoba Public Insurance releases second quarter financial results Manitoba Public Insurance reported net income of $72.8 million for the first six months of its fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 – an increase of $30.5 million over the same time period last year. This includes net income from the Basic insurance line of business of $39.4 million in the first six months of the 2018/19 fiscal year. “Operational results for the first two quarters of the Corporation’s 2018/19 fiscal year continue to be favourable, despite a major hail event that occurred in mid-June, and other weather-related

incidents that resulted in an overall increase in physical damage claims costs incurred,” said Mark Giesbrecht, vice-president, Finance and Chief Financial Off icer, Manitoba Public Insurance. “Historically, there is an increase in claims in the winter months, which offsets the positive financial results typically posted during the first two quarters of the Corporation’s fiscal year.

As such, we will continue to closely monitor revenues, claims and claims costs over the remaining two quarters,” added

Giesbrecht. Total earned revenues for the first six months rose by $44.8 million from the same period last year, driven mainly by higher motor vehicle premium revenue resulting from an increase in the number of motor vehicles insured, the value of these vehicles, and an overall 2.6 per cent increase in Basic insurance rates ordered by the Public Utilities Board for the 2018/19 insurance year. “The overall financial picture was also affected by an increase of $11.8 million in physical damage claims cost, which

was partially offset by a decrease of $5.6 million in bodily injury claims costs compared to the first six months of the 2017/18 fiscal year,” said Giesbrecht.

In June, the Corporation applied to the Public Utilities Board for an overall increase of 2.2 per cent in Basic insurance premiums for the 2019/20 insurance year, with the majority of that increase (2.1 per cent) requested to maintain an adequate rate stabilization reserve to absorb future variations in revenues, claims costs, and investment revenues.

When you buy cannabis, make sure to get it from a licensed retail store that offers you a wide selection of legal products.

Buying cannabis from a street dealer puts you at risk of arrest and fines.

When you buy street cannabis, you have no idea whether or not your money will go to fund other illegal activities.

Worst of all, street cannabis offers you no quality control in terms of strength or purity. It may contain traces of pesticides and even other drugs that could put your life at risk.
