Opening the Selkirk branch is the second phase of a major Noventis thrust into the Selkirk market. In recent months, its subsidiary, Interlake Real Estate under vice-president Dick Arnason, has also opened an office with half-a-dozen staff on Main St. in Selkirk. “The two businesses nicely complement each other,” McKnight said. This was an occasion for celebration last Thursday when Noventis officially opened a ninth branch in Selkirk, a location where customers will be able to access the province’s first ITM machine to personally talk to a teller about their banking business. Formed in Oct. 2010 through a merger of Interlake credit unions, Noventis already has branches in Gimli, Arborg, Ashern, Eriksdale, Fisher Branch, Eriksdale, Moosehorn, Riverton and Winnipeg Beach. “Selkirk is a growing market in itself as well as being a regional service centre,” says Noventis CEO Kevin McKnight. “It is close to our branches and a nice fit for us.” McNight said manager Blaine Dawson, from Dauphin, is one of seven staff who will serve customers at the new branch at 1012 Manitoba Ave. in the west end Selkirk mall anchored by Walmart. Kim Hibbert, Noventis manager at Eriksdale, tries out the interactive teller machine at the new Selkirk branch. Two tellers assigned to the ITM interactive teller machine will be able to assist members with a wide variety of banking services ranging from account transactions to loan applications and money transfers. Debit cards or drivers’ licences are used by customers to access the machine in a glassed-in area to ensure privacy of discussions. “With ITM banking, you will be able to do everything you could do if you walked into a branch,” McKnight said, adding that this service innovation has been introduced by a few credit unions in other parts of Canada.” One big advantage is that the Selkirk branch will be able to offer extended hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Monday through Saturday. Because of this technology, we can The CEO said that while there are no firm plans for more expansion, Noventis will continue to look at opportunities available to credit unions. He also said one immediate priority is to increase deposits throughout the branch network to enable Noventis to meet a growing demand for loans. “We have about 87 per cent of our assets lent out at the moment,” McKnight said. “We want to keep it at 85 to 87 per cent to ensure liquidity or we would have to finance loans by expensive borrowing from Credit Union Central.” Naturally, he would be happy to hear from depositors or investors who would like to check out Noventis rates.” We reach higher. Our goal is simple: we want to make dreams come true. And that means we’re not happy until you’re happy. By taking a creative and spontaneous approach to problem solving, there’s not much we can’t handle.

Website: www.enterprisenews.ca Eastern Interlake Conservation District marks ‘watershed’ decade By Jim Mosher EICD has partnered on a technically similar on-site project at the Gaynor Regional Library in Selkirk. There, native grasses capture runoff from the site. Eastern Interlake Conservation District, established in 2005, continues to provide important data that has and will continue to form a benchmark for watershed planning in the region. The conservation district concept — to protect our water, water courses and the land — formally emerged 40 years ago with the creation of the Whitemud Conservation District. After that, the uptake was sporadic as other regions of the province were slow to embrace the provincial effort. Eastern Interlake Conservation District, for instance, joined the fold in 2005. There are now 18 Conservation Districts in the province. EICD stands out as having poured millions of dollars into water quality monitoring, watershed planning and the development of integrated watershed management plans (IWMPs). These plans integrate key components of the sub-districts, and provide a blueprint for ensuring the health of a watershed. EICD consists of four sub-watersheds: Netley-Grassmere Creek, Willow Creek, Icelandic River and Washow Bay Creek and Fisher River. With the exception of Fisher River, the other three sub-watersheds have developed IWMPs. The EICD’s range of monitoring and integration of key components — such as sealing abandoned wells, sampling creeks for bottom-dwelling organisms (often a key indicator of the health of a waterway), partnering with groups and individuals to improve wetlands and reduce nutrient loading — is impressive. It’s also worked closely with Gimli High School to create a wetland, work that was recently recognized with an award from the Manitoba Conservation Districts Association. Eastern Interlake Conservation District manager Armand Belanger at Gimli office. While EICD has received a total $4.5 million over the last decade, much of it from the province and external sources, it faces a cash crunch. “We have project requests coming in all the time, ones that meet our integrated watershed management goals,” Belanger said. “But when there is reduced core funding as part of provincial cutbacks, the CD gets cutback, as well.” monitoring, including survey work on the landscape and assessments Levies to its municipal members acfrom high above the ground. counted for about $100,000 last year; there was $74,000 from exterRemote sensing by Light Detection nal sources.

When he appears at FASD conferences, Himmelreich offers insights into his experiences that include both the challenges and successes that he has faced along the way. During the conference, Himmelreich also presented a special session aimed at youth ages 12-21 and their caregivers. The session ‘I’m Just Like You’ was presented in partnership with the Lord Selkirk Regional Comprehensive High School. “During every moment of every day, FASD kids struggle to adapt to sensory input and information and try to process all of it in their brains,” Foster explained. “For example, one of the main strategies that is used to deal with this problem is to give the children a visual schedule of daily activities using a variety of easily recognizable images rather than verbal cues, which can be more complex and difficult to process at a younger age,” Foster said. Foster concluded by saying that the Manitoba Key Works Program will continue to provide intensive support to caregivers who must deal with FASD by going into homes and schools to provide awareness and education on the various needs of children who suffer from FASD. rm e erlake eam” 204-642-9001 Open Thursday to Monday from Noon to 7pm (year-round) Closed Tuesday & Wednesday Reservations Welcome – Pick up the Interlake Enterprise at Paul’s Grill – 2013. ap, NOW OPEN!

The health of the marsh is closely linked to the aquatic health of Lake Winnipeg. Richard Grosshans has a passion for translating science into action. The translation involves teasing out unconventional approaches, discussing big-picture ideas with colleagues and being open to innovation. The marsh research conducted by Grosshans has helped him and other researchers come to terms with a bold new concept. There is a way to twin ecological benefit with economics. The simple idea — while by no means simple when he and others first began tentatively exploring it a decade ago — was to ‘capture’ the energy in the biomass of cattails growing prolifically in Netley-Libau and other wetlands by burning the harvested plant to create energy, then using the residue for application on agricultural land and, as a biochar, for water filtration. A senior research scientist at the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), Grosshans, who earned his Masters in 2001 then his PhD, has focused a good part of his career on Netley-Libau Marsh, once a thriving, well-vegetated wetland but lately inundated by swelling inflows from the mighty Red River. Netley-Libau Marsh is at the critical front end of inflows from the Red, the waters of which make their way through the wetland, Netley-Libau was a proving ground, when Royal LePage JMB & Associates 15108 140 N RD, Riverton 122 Shorepointe Village Gimli MLS# 1426389 Immaculate 3 bedroom mid floor condo Listed at $259,000 Listed at $124,900 457 Beachside Rd Wpg Beach MLS# 1505490 While the wedding of ecological benefit and a new bioeconomic view of wetlands has yet to inspire commercial-scale development, research near Pelly’s Lake in the Lasalle Redboine watershed in 2012 and 2013 suggest that day is not far off.

Phosphorus is the plant nutrient that is the principal driver in nutrient over-fertilization in Lake Winnipeg. That nutrient overloading has pushed the lake into a well-understood process known as eutrophication. Among the chief signs of eutrophication is the increase in the frequency, intensity and duration of algal blooms; something that’s been witnessed as a progressive phenomenon over the last 20 years, culminating in the last decade.

As well, the biochar left after burning would provide a valuable resource. Using cattail as an energy ‘feedstock’ made sense because it is ubiquitous in the province. It’s an extremely invasive, competitive species. Wherever one finds water and nutrients, cattail are sure to follow.

But it wasn’t even the focus of the initial work. Rather, the initial research focus was to remove the phosphorus taken up by cattail. C.A.P.S. INTERNATIONAL INC.

The harvesting of cattail pursued later may answer the concerns about losing the marsh, though that is a very big kettle of fish. However, at the least, harvesting cattail will provide some room for marsh regrowth. The bigger issue, of course, is how one holds back the flood waters of the Red River, which rises in northern South Dakota and takes in drainage waters from hundreds of kilometres of farmland on its way north to Lake Winnipeg. Turns out, wetlands and the innovative bioenergy model developed by Grosshans, Ducks Unlimited and IISD may offer a buffer against further loss. Grosshans notes, for instance, that there are massive water retention projects planned or under construction in North Dakota. This is critical to holding back floodwaters until hydrological pressures ease after the spring runoff from the land. “They’re not only managing it for water, they’re coming to realize that these sites are actively retaining and absorbing nutrients,” Grosshans said. Grosshans’s work on cattail and the collaboration with other research partners, including Ducks Unlimited and IISD, has contributed to policies on nutrient and surface water management, wetland protection, carbon emission reductions and offsets, and reduction of phosphorus loading in Lake Winnipeg’s vast watershed. The work has extended beyond the capture and recycling of nutrients to the development of innovative agricultural practices, some still in their infancy on the producer uptake end, says Grosshans. Beyond burning for fuel, harvested cattail can be shredded as a nutrient-rich biomass to be applied to agricultural land. “If you have manure management issues, we’ve done some research with Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute Saskatchewan with cattail where, using anaerobic digestion, they’re mixing cattail in with the manure to create methane,” Grosshans explained. “But at the same time, you can use cattail as a bulking and fiber agent added to manure. And you can use cattail as livestock bedding.” “It’s a whole other area of sustainable agriculture.” There seems no end to the uses of cattail. The work that began just a decade ago with a relatively limited view to removing phosphorus has advanced into a well-documented process for not only achieving that goal but also adding renewable bioenergy and bioproduct resources to the mix.

That’s about to change as town council forges ahead with ambitious, long overdue upgrades to its water treatment plant and modernization of the town’s sewage lagoon system. The multi-million-dollar upgrades will both address provincial regulatory concerns and open the way to expanded development of housing. Weighing in at a total $4.4 million, the two major infrastructure projects will be among the most costly in the town’s history, though still eclipsed by the millions spent in the late-1980s to introduce a low-pressure sewer system. (Most of the cost was borne by property owners who were required to pay thousands of dollars in on-site costs.) Details about costs associated with the lagoon and water upgrades were recently released, as council embarks on a public process that will allow it to borrow the money to fund the municipal share of the work. Funding from senior governments significantly softens the blow. Mayor Tony Pimentel says the projects, while slow in coming, are required to catalyze growth. “I think it’s great,” he said. “It’s something that we’ve needed for a long time. It opens up opportunities for development in Winnipeg Beach. I think it’s important that we move this forward.” In any event, he added: “It’s something we have to do. It’s a mandated thing.” The cost of the lagoon upgrades is pegged at $3.5 million. Senior levels of government will each fund a third of the cost, leaving the remaining $1.67 million to be paid by all property owners. The Manitoba Water Services Board will pay half the anticipated $800,000 of the water treatment plant upgrades, leaving the 151 property owners who currently receive municipal water service to collectively pay $400,000. Lot owners will pay about $300 a year for 12 years to finance the water treatment project. They may choose to make a one-time payment of $2,650, resulting in a saving of about $1,000 compared to the annual financing option. The levies are not expected to appear on the tax bill until next year. Both borrowing bylaws will be subject to review by the Manitoba Municipal Board. The infrastructure upgrades are critical to attracting developers who have, in the past, been prepared to move forward on multi-residential apartment and housing development projects. These projects have not advanced because the province says the town’s lagoon capacity cannot support an additional load due to large commercial or residential developments. As well, its water disinfection protocols do not meet mandated requirements set out in the province’s Drinking Water Safety Act. Water and sewage management upgrades have been discussed and debated since at least 2007 when council-of-the-day learned that neither its water nor sewage treatment met new provincial standards. The upgrades are finally advancing because the provincial and federal governments are now providing the lion’s share of funding. The Manitoba Water Services Board will pay half of the $800,000 cost to upgrade the town’s water treatment system. Municipal water is currently only provided to 151 properties in the downtown area and the condominiums on Churchill Rd. It will be left to the affected taxpayers to pick up the remaining $400,000 cost. On the lagoon upgrade, it’s all-in, as every property taxpayer will be expected to pay a share based on a perlot levy. The anticipated $3.5-million cost of the sewage management system will be equally split among the three levels of government, as part of the federal government’s Building Canada infrastructure fund. Town taxpayers will be on the hook for onethird of the total project cost or $1.67 million. Annual payments on the $1.67 million are pegged at about $151,000 over a 10-year-term of the borrowing. Interest, at 5%, is expected to total $344,220, bringing the total financed cost to about $1.5 million. The municipal cost will be borne by a lot levy on all properties. Property owners may choose to pay $84.17 a year over the term or pay a one-time amount of $650 per lot. About 1,800 properties are affected. A public information session on the sewage management project is scheduled for tomorrow evening March 19 at the Winnipeg Beach Community Centre at 7 p.m. Officials from Dillon Consulting, the Winnipeg engineering firm that provided recommendations on both the lagoon and water upgrade projects, will be on-hand from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. They’ll be there to answer technical and environmental questions related to the lagoon upgrade project. A formal public hearing into the creation of ta Local Improvement District (LID) and borrowing for the sewage lagoon upgrades is set for April 7 at 7 p.m. A public hearing on the water treatment upgrade is set for March 26 at 7 p.m. at the municipal building on Robinson Ave. Project details, including borrowing requirements, are available on-line at winnipegbeach.ca and at the municipal office. Property owners who wish to object to the borrowing bylaws must provide written objections to either or both of the planned public hearings. Winnipeg Beach well back of region’s recycling pack By Jim Mosher Five years after withdrawing as a member of a regional recycling service, Winnipeg Beach is lagging well behind the local pack when it comes to recycling, 2013 statistics from Manitoba Multi-Material Stewardship show. Beach council decided in May 2010 that it would no longer use Gimli-based Cornerstone Enterprises to pick up recyclables. Instead, it decided to pay its garbage contractor to pick up recyclables in a separate run on garbage days.

This year Gimli will have youth teams in six age groups competing from early May to the end of June with squads from other Interlake towns, These groups are under six tykes, under 8 minis, under 11 atoms, under 14 pee wees and under 18 midgets. “There are also adult teams playing into July,” Robak said. “And we’d like to have a parent-tot practice once a week for families with three and four year-olds.” Completely new this spring is a 7 a.m. fitness boot camp which will be led by Maria McKenzie. Returning programs, on the other hand, include yoga, karate, martial arts, ballroom dance, adult and youth kick boxing, acquasizes, guitar and drum lessons, and youth pottery. “Many of these programs will have the same popular instructors,” Robak said. “There will also be swimming lessons at Camp Arnes with registration starting March 25.” Last but not least will be the annual Guys and Dolls curling bonspiel, an annual fundraiser for the rec centre running from April 1012.

By Marlene Ness It would appear that Pruden Ave in St Andrews has become an unusable mud bog for residents trying to access their houses this spring. The hazardous condition of the road this past weekend left several residents unable to slog through the six plus inches of mud that they used to call their street. Cindy Hartling, resident of 5 Pruden Avenue stated: “It’s a nightmare. I phoned Maple Leaf Construction on Saturday and we were simply told the office was closed. There must be some emergency service in place when people can’t get out of their driveway.” Pruden Ave belongs to the municipality of St Andrews, but is located right on the border of St Andrews and Selkirk, hugging the City of Selkirk. The small street of nine houses was excavated repeatedly during the months of November-December 2014 --during a time of year when the ground was already frozen. The Pruden Avenue Wastewater System project has been a project hotly contested by several of the street’s residents since 2013. The recent late-season excavation that occurred in Nov 2014-January 2015 was completed by Maple Leaf Construction in order to install infrastructure for a new housing development coming up on Pruden Ave. 2 Now, with the arrival of spring thaw, the road has degraded into a sinkhole of mud ranging from six inches to twelve inches in depth. According to residents, pylons were placed around the worst of the sinkholes on Saturday morning. “Every single trench that was dug across Pruden Ave for installation of pipes, is now caving in to a depth of one or two feet,” noted Jayme Hartling, who has only lived on Pruden Ave since fall. “The worst sinkhole is two feet deep, down at the end of the street. They ripped our road up so many times, we lost count.” “The worst part about it,” continued Crystal Hartling, “was that we got no notice about which days they were going to come in to rip up our driveway. We received only one letter initially, last fall, about construction commencing on Pruden Avenue... That work lasted from November until Dec 23rd. But after that, they came back again in the New Year and started tearing it up all over again! I was not able to leave my driveway, on several days when I had to go to work and take my child to school.” “When I asked Maple Leaf, ‘why are you back and why can’t I get out of my driveway again? They said only that they had to fix discrepancies.” The condition of Pruden Ave on Sunday, March 15 was clearly impassable, leaving questions as to why the hazardous road was not blocked off. The road has been repeatedly excavated in frozen ground conditions, to lay down infrastructure for a new housing development. Inset: Several sinkholes measure one to two feet in depth, where trenches for pipe were dug in December. When questioned for comment by Interlake Enterprise staff, Maple Leaf Construction offered no response on the current condition of Pruden Avenue.

Back row Roger Burak (assistant coach), Keaghan Reimer, Joshua Bazilewich, Johann Fridfinnson, Mekhi Sigurdson, Cyranno Dueck, Brian Barylski (head coach), Kendall Asham (assistant coach). By Michel Forest Arborg’s novice hockey team The Falcons had a ‘banner year’ this season as they were crowned ‘A’ North Division Champions on Sat., February 28 after defeating archrival Riverton Eagles in a 3-2 final nail-biter. “The kids are so excited that they won the Interlake Minor Hockey Novice “A” North Division Banner this year, especially after beating Riverton,” said head coach Brian Barylski. The novice hockey league consists of seven teams - made up of 7-9 year-old hockey players - that played a total of 14 games this past season. “We lost only one game all year, and another one was a tie, but we finished second overall to Riverton, who had a similar record but had the advantage in head-to-head games against us,” Barylski explained. This year’s end-of-February playoffs were spread over two back-to-back, three-game weekend tournaments for each of the teams. The Falcons were undefeated in all six games on their way to winning the title. “On the last day, we were up 3-2 on the Eagles at the beginning of the 2nd period and the rest of the game was scoreless, so it was really exciting to play a close one like that to win the championship,” the coach said. “It was great to see the improvement of this team compared to last year, and actually I would say that it was phenomenal how they came together as a team.” Barylski said that he will be returning as coach of the Falcons for the 201516 season. “I’m coming back mainly because it’s fun to see the kids grow up and become better hockey players and also learn how to play as a team,” Barylski concluded.

The Wolves’s opponent in the final will be the Beausejour Beavers, who prevailed over the Sagkeeng Braves last Friday by a score of 8-6 to put an end to their semi-final series. Wolves 6, Blues 3 (March 11) Winnipeg Beach’s Genyk Brothers, Brock and Trent, combined for a total of six points to give the Wolves a much-needed boost and help their team take a 3-2 series lead on home ice over the Blues. Blues 5, Wolves 2 (March 14) Ryan Seekings continued his scoring ways as he gave the Wolves a 1-0 lead at the 8:43 mark of the 1st, but it was a short-lived one as the Blues came right back less than two minutes later to tie it on a goal by Richie Evans at 10:10. The last game of the series was played on the Ides of March, and it would be the Blues who had the dagger put into the heart of their season as the Wolves were able to salvage the series on home ice. The Blues were the first to score at 3:25 of the opening frame (Tim Rollins), but that would be all she wrote for the visitors, as the Wolves shut the door on them and scored three straight in the Eighteen seconds later, Trent Gefinal 40 minutes to take the series nyk restored the Gimli one-goal 4-3. lead, assisted by brother Brock and Wes Pawluk. “Our goalie (McIntosh) played After a scoreless middle frame, really well, and I think that was the wheels fell off the Gimli wag- a result of him being disapon in the final 20 minutes as the pointed after the previous loss Brent Wold show got underway in Lac du Bonnet,” said Wolves for the Blues, with Wold scoring head coach Scott Pawluk. two goals only 20 seconds apart and assisting on two others as the home team fired in four unanswered goals on their way to the 5-2 victory. The semi-final series was now tied, knotted at three apiece heading to Gimli for the seventh and deciding game. “After we scored that third goal, they seemed to just give up, there was no pressure. I was staring at their side to see if they were going to pull their goalie, which surprisingly they didn’t do until there was just over one minute left in the game,” Pawluk said, adding that he would have done it much sooner. Pawluk said that the key to beating the Beavers will be keeping the Young-Stelmack duo in check, as it is their line that tends to do all the damage to opposing teams.
