by Glen Kirby Councillors are aiming

for modest tax increases as they work with admini - stration to prepare the inaugural budget for the new Municipality of Souris-Glenwood.

If we keep things in line with the cost-of-liv - ing, people are usually willing to live with that, says Joe Goodwill, who served more than two dec - ades on the former Rural Municipality (RM) of

Glenwood Council before his election in Souris- Glenwood last fall.

Goodwill says Councillors have met to review preliminary num - bers and he expects the 2015-2016 Municipal Budget to be finalized in April following public feedback. By Provincial legislation, Council must present the draft budget to residents before adopting the spending plan.

Second term

Councillor Bill Tanguay, who sits on the Public Works Committee, wont yet reveal which street paving and sidewalk repairs have been brought forward for consideration.

Most of the wish lists are in from the various departments and commit - tees, says Tanguay. Now, we have to cost it all out. Definitely, we cant have everything.

Despite the Town of Souris and the RM of

Glenwood amalgamating in 2014, administration will be maintaining two sets of accounting books for the foreseeable future.

Councillor Mark Gillis says common costs will be shared but mill rates and taxes will remain separate for the Town and the RM.

We are moving towards a hybrid, har - monized mill rate within the next eight years, he says. But the Province is

allowing amalgamated municipalities the option of separating town and rural ratepayers, much the same as local government having the power to levy an improvement tax on residents who directly benefit from municipal spending.

Councillors also sug - gest that residents will be paying a price for last years forced amalgama - tion.

First budget for new municipality (Continued from Page 1)

We know there will be additional costs in the short term, says Gillis. We had to harmonize salaries when the RM and Town offices com - bined, and salaries never drop in those cases.

Nor has amalgamation triggered staff reduction. The idea that well have a smaller office staff is a dream, says Goodwill. Preparing separate budgets and having to combine existing by- laws from two govern - ments into one, itll cost us more for the next year or two.

Gillis agrees but expects efficiencies in the long run. I dont foresee us having fewer people on staff, he says.

But being able to offer better services.

The efficiencies are on the Provincial gov - ernment side, adds Goodwill. They have fewer RMs to deal with.

Flooding in 2011 and 2014 wreaked havoc with previous budgets and project schedules and Tanguay is eager for Council to draft a five- year works plan to sys - tematically tackle the backlog.

We still dont know the final tab for all that flood work, says Tanguay. Dealing with floods has backed up paving and sidewalk pro - jects for the past four years. If we can get three streets repaved this year, that will be a good

start, he says. There are a half dozen that we want to get done.

Councillors trying to keep spending within the annual cost-of-living dont have much wiggle room. Statistics Canadas Consumer Price Index for the past year (February 2014 - February 2015) is 1% and core inflation in 2014 was pegged at 1.8%.

By comparison, Southwest Horizon School Division deliv - ered an increase of 0.5% when trustees approved their 2015-2016 budget last month, following a public presentation in February. Division sec - retary-treasurer Kevin Zabowski estimates the

increase amounts to approximately $24 a year on a property assessed at $300,000.

Councillors arent expecting to see many residents when they pub - licly present this years draft budget.

People dont attend the public meeting unless theres an issue, notes Gillis, although the amalgamation may cause more ratepayers to become involved.

Some folks would like to see things move quicker, says Goodwill. But we have half as many Councillors now as before amalgamation try - ing to handle the same work load. Its going to take some time to blend everything.

Serving Souris & District since 1892

Wild Wild West Survivor Spiel 2015 is currently happening at the Memorial Complex. The event kicked off earlier this week but you still have a chance to get in on some of the fun. The Souris Skatepark Committee is providing the lunch at Saturdays dance. The Committee is grateful for the opportunity to do this and hopes that many of you will be out and hungry for a hot dog. Come out and support the Souris Curling Club and have a great time while doing so.

**********

The Souris Glenwood Chamber of Commerce has a new executive and they are excited to be involved and looking forward to a busy year. First thing on the docket is the spring town wide yard sales. These will be held Saturday, May 9. If you wish to be included on the map and cant wait for the information to become available in the Plaindealer, just stop in at the office with your $5 registration fee and Ill be happy to mark your place. We are once again offering a yard sale kit - sign, balloons and a stick, but these wont be available until April 13.

In other Chamber news, I heard that new member, Darren Janz is determined to revive the Souris Parade. This is such good news and I know hell be out visiting many of the local businesses and organizations to convince them to enter a float parade day. When Darren stops at your office, please get on board with this idea.

Some oldtimers (Im talking 56-years-old) told me that there used to be a school marching band and each year that band would take part in the parade. I know school is over by parade day but wouldnt it be nice if we could see the Souris band take part? Maybe load up on a semi trailer much like the graduates do and play their tunes while trucking through the streets of Souris? Another part of the parade that I miss is when the kids would decorate their bicycles and enter them for prizes. I know my oldest child did that and had a blast getting all decked out to participate. Another thing I miss is seeing the horses and rodeo people out for the event. We had a rodeo here during Fair Days and not one of them rode in the last parade. Its easy to see why the organizers just gave up. It was like beating a dead horse, no pun intended, just to get people out. Lets hope that Darren, with his enthusiasm can breathe new life into the Souris Parade.

In an after thought, maybe some of the organizations such as the hockey club or skating club, maybe the cubs and scouts or even one of the many charitable organizations that we have could promote a bike decorating contest in advance? Or maybe the Skatepark kids could put on a demonstration of their skills? This could happen with the right support. Lets try and revive an old favourite.

Breaktime Breaktime Breaktime by Darci Semeschuk

by Vern May

My life was over

by Vern May I was sure he wouldnt

shoot me but it didnt make me feel any better about my circumstances. He stood five feet from me with his hands on his hips, the heel of his right hand resting on his hol - ster. Though he said nothing, his smug expression spoke vol - umes about the serious - ness of my predicament.

I had been in the Homeland Security inter - view room for 45 min - utes, answering every question with calculated precision, just as I had dozens of times before. Something was different this time, and with added back up in the room, I knew something was up. It wasnt until my inter - rogator threw an unex - pected question at me which I could feel in the pit of my stomach meant my demise. Who is Vance Nevada? In that moment, my life unrav - elled before me. You

see, it was September 2004 and I was on my way to Seattle, called up by the WWE for tele - vision tapings - a goal I had been working toward my whole life. It had taken two years of persis - tent phone calls and cam - paigning to open the door and I was finally seeing my goal come into view. However, as work visas are difficult to secure as an independent wrestler, the border was a gamble every time. Its a risk that dozens of Canadian wrestlers take every week across the largest peaceful border in the world but on this day, at probably the worst pos - sible time, I lost. I fidg - eted uncomfortably in my chair, wanting to avoid the question and knowing that there was no escape. The jig was up. Im Vance Nevada, was all they needed to hear from me to google everything they needed to make their case. I was turned back that day, denied entry and issued a five year ban from the United States. Worse

yet, when I arrived home, I needed to call the WWE and tell them that despite harassing them for two years to give me a shot, I now had to with - draw. It was a door closer. I hung up the phone, slumped back against my kitchen counter and told my wife, My life is over! Even as I reflect on this now more than a decade later, it is still hard to reconcile the emotions I felt as a 28 year old man at the peak of his career, with opportunities aplenty to suddenly see the clear path that I had set before me more than half of my life earlier, slip away. Despite the crushing set - back, I slowly got the wheels turning again on new goals, though uncer - tain of what my next long term ambition might be.

I continued to wrestle and in 2009 I published a book. That book led to my first re-introduction to the United States in 2010 for the first time in six years, to collect an award issued by the wrestling community for

my work as a writer and historian. Further hon - ours would come in the following years as well, both as a wrestler and promoter. One of my wisest colleagues pulled me aside and confided that they knew how dif - ficult my setback had been but had it not been for that door closing, I might not have written the book. His insight made me understand the old philosophy that when one door closes, another opens.

What I learned from that experience is that life might not take you in the direction that you planned to go but youll end up exactly where you were meant to be. Dont allow yourself to be dev - astated by the twists and turns in the road, no mat - ter how dark they may seem. Given the oppor - tunity to grow and foster new ambitions, some - times life begins with the most crushing of defeats.

Thats just another of the lessons that Ive taken with me from the school of hard knocks.

Iris Hesselden once wrote:

There are sunny days within us, and springtime thoughts to hold,

The gift of summer memories, to warm the winters cold.

There are cheerful times within us, to cherish and to store,

The laughter and the happiness, are there for evermore.

Theres a quiet place within us, a peace we can recall.

A treasure house of hope and joy, lies deep within us all.

In a church newsletter in Yorkshire, England, these words were printed: sug - gesting hymns!

Building contractors - The Churchs One Foundation . Census takers - All People That On Earth Do Dwell. Dentists - Crown Him With Many Crowns . Golfers, There Is A Green Hill Far Away.

Thats all for this week. Take care and if you would like a home or hospital or PCH visit from us, please call and let us know!

by Glen Kirby Attendance was up last

year at the Hillcrest Museum in Souris and board members are hoping to continue the momentum with new initiatives in 2015, including revamped displays and a superpass with the towns other museums.

Were looking at a $10 ticket that will get you into the Hillcrest, the Plum Heritage Church and the Railway Museum, says Hillcrest board member, Linda Perrin. The tickets have already been printed. We just need the respective boards to approve it.

Perrin says the super - pass was the brainchild of Hillcrest Museum presi - dent Vern May, himself a point of discussion at the Museums annual general meeting on March 25. In the last month, May began working in Minnedosa and at least one board member wrestled with his contin - ued association with the Hillcrest.

It was suggested that we need a president in this town, says board member Harvey Veldhouse. Vern said he would hand it over, if a new president can be found. Wont be easy to find a new president, he adds. We cant find peo - ple to sit on the board.

Perrin says the board is also actively recruiting a

new treasurer because Debra Good stepped aside late last year to deal with health issues.

Deb was an ace to have on-board, says Perrin. She knows her stuff. Im not sure whos going to step up and fill that role.

Executive members are traditionally elected at the AGM but Perrin says that has been put over until the boards April 15 meeting.

Its challenging to find volunteers, she says. Our generation is winding down and its harder to find new blood.

Hillcrest Museum occu - pies the former home of Fred Sowden, son of Souris pioneer and builder of the original Swinging Bridge, William Henry Squire Sowden. Built in 1910, the home became a community museum in 1967.

More than 2,000 people paid to tour the Hillcrest in 2014, a sizable increase over 2013. Board members believe the main reason is the Swinging Bridge, destroyed during the sum - mer flood in 2011 and reopened for use in late June, 2013.

Perrin points out that only 200 people visited the Museum in 2013 while the Bridge was being rebuilt. After it opened, we had 700, she says.

The flood set us back severely, adds Veldhouse. Without the Bridge, peo - ple werent coming to Souris at all. Its one of our lifelines for tourism.

This season, Hillcrest Museum visitors will notice changes, including updated displays.

In February, we went in and moved displays and artifacts around, says Veldhouse. We asked our - selves, why are people coming to the Museum? What do they want to look at? Then, we de-cluttered.

R a i l w a y - t h e m e d memorabilia has been relo - cated to the nearby Railway Museum, which celebrates the legacy of the railroad in Souris and the families connected to that industry. Veldhouse says a collection of salt and pep - per shakers has been removed from display. So have duplicate items of period costume, and a col - lection of old school text - books.

Really, the books werent very exciting, laughs Veldhouse, a retired teacher.

Perrin says new board member Dawn Bowie, who has expertise in thea - tre productions and cos - tuming, is taking a lead on the display and preserva - tion of the Museums vin - tage clothing. Discussions are ongoing to relocate

spiritual and religious arti - cles to the neighbouring Plum Heritage Church, the towns oldest surviving public building constructed in 1883, which features displays and a tea room during the summer season.

The Hillcrest board is continuing talks with counterparts at the Railway Museum and the Plum on amalgamating but the idea, brought forth by May, appears on the ropes since his departure.

Weve had a few meet - ings and some good thoughts, says Perrin. Im hoping we can make it happen this year.

Tangible signs of col - laboration include the pro - posed superpass, and a new brochure featuring all three museum attractions.

The Hillcrest aims to begin each season on the annual Victoria Day long weekend, provided enough volunteers can be found to operate the museum on weekends until paid staff are hired for July and August. Perrin expects word this month from the provincial government on grant applications to fund those summer student employees.


Stran Dunham, a rookie in the junior division, has a passion for goat tying, citing its a fun, emot ional run. PHOTO/ COURTESY DARRELL NESBITT

courtesy Darrell Nesbitt, Crossroads This Week

Since the fall of 2004, a number of students have stood in the boots of Stran Dunham - a rookie in the Junior High division of the Manitoba High School Rodeo Association (MHSRA).

But thats not to say his excitement for ropes and rodeo wasnt carved into him, thanks to his parents, Sheena (nee Boyes) and Kevin Dunham of Souris.

Boyes was among the first high school rodeo competitors from Manitoba to cross over into Saskatchewan in the early 1990s. She made the team that traveled to Oklahoma City, OK to compete in the National High School Rodeo Finals. For three years, 1992 to 1994, this was the arrangement for a number of students want - ing to rodeo, until 1995 when the MHSRA was born.

Im very proud of my mom and dad, as they both

have competed at high school, amateur and profes - sional rodeos in their events of barrel racing, tie down roping and team rop - ing, shared Stran Dunham. Thanks to them rodeo is a blessing in which I have grown up around and now, as a grade seven student at Hartney, are able to compete in a number of boys events.

Those events dont only require a lariat (breakaway roping, ribbon roping and team roping), but also quick hands with goat tying noted as his favorite event.

At this level, striving to do my personal best, I find goat tying to be a lot of fun, said Dunham. In and out of an arena of dirt, rodeo allows me the chance to hook up and compete with friends my own age.

Education on roping and riding has come through his parents, but other finer points in lifes lessons and sports involvement falls on the shoulders of teachers and coaches.

For Dunham he is an all-around athlete that is involved in hockey the position of goalie that he cherishes, baseball and badminton. He is also an avid outdoor sportsman with hunting, trapping, and fishing, keeping the young man busy.

I have two favorite competitors my dad, a past Canadian Cowboys Association champion and Tuf Cooper, stated Dunham. Tuf Cooper, 24, was born to rope calves. The son of eight-time World Champion Tie- Down Roper and hall of famer Roy Super Looper Cooper, Tuf became the youngest million-dollar cowboy when he crossed that milestone on Feb. 23, 2013, a few weeks after turning 23.

Cooper, of Decatur, TX, is already a five-time NFR qualifier and earned world championships in tie-down roping in 2011 and 2012. Cooper captured the $100,000 Calgary

Stampede tie-down cham - pionship in 2011. In 2010, he and brothers Clif and Clint became the first set of three brothers to qualify for the Wrangler NFR in tie- down roping in the same year. In his time away from the arena, Tuf says hes a really big rodeo fan, so he spends any downtime fol - lowing the sport.

By watching his parents cherish the sport of rodeo, Dunham has come to real - ize that rodeo is more than an athletic event. Its a show that allows camarade - rie to be developed between participants, per - sonal goals to be made and met, and a lifestyle that highlights an impression of the western heritage.

Plus that trail of life has enriched a youth with many new people and new friends. It has also made him, a better competitor full of confidence thanks to wit, wisdom, and elo - quence showcased by older generations in the rodeo world over the years.

Stran Dunham, gifted athlete, thanks to parents enrichment

Many Canadians look forward to an annual tax refund from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Its a mini-windfall - and its tempting to spend the money on something frivo - lous.

But there are other uses for your refund. When you use the money you receive wisely, it can pay big divi - dends over time. Here are a few suggestions for making the most of your refund: Invest in an RRSP Use your tax refund to get an early start on your annual Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) con - tribution. The sooner you get money into your RRSP, the sooner you take advan - tage of tax-deferred growth. Make up for missed RRSP contributions

Youre allowed to make up for missed contributions going back to 1991. Using your refund will increase your pool of tax-sheltered assets, potentially boost retirement wealth and create a larger tax deduction this year or in future years. Pay down or eliminate high-interest debt

Use your refund to pay down credit card balances, personal loans or other expensive debt. Youll reduce interest costs. Pay down your RRSP loan

If you borrowed money to make an RRSP contri - bution, pay down the loan as soon as your refund arrives. Pay down the mortgage

Every dollar you put toward your mortgage prin -

cipal is a dollar on which you wont pay interest for the next 5, 10 or even 25 years. Contribute to an RESP

Put money into a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for your children or grandchil - dren. An RESP is an excel - lent tax-deferred vehicle to save for post-secondary education. Spend a bit on yourself

It wont hurt to spend a little of your refund on yourself. After all, you have to have some fun in your financial life. But try to limit it to 10% to 20%.

Now heres the bad news. You dont really want a refund. That money you get back from the CRA every year is like an inter - est-free loan to the govern -

ment. By paying more in taxes throughout the year than you should, youve let Ottawa use your money. Plus, you loose out on potential investment returns until your overpaid taxes are returned.

If you regularly receive a refund, consider having the income tax deducted from your regular pay cheque reduced. Obtain a copy of Canada Revenue Agency Form T1213 (Request to Reduce Tax Deductions at Source) at your local tax office or on the CRAs Internet site. Submit the form to the CRA, which will send you a letter of authority allowing your employer to reduce deduc - tions during the year.

There are more mysteries for you this week.

The Devil You Know, by Elizabeth de Mariaffi, tells of Evie Jones, a nov - ice reporter, who is haunted by the abduction and murder of her friend when they were both eleven years of age. As she begins to research that cold case, disturbing events lead her to believe that the killer not only is still alive but is now stalk - ing her - and that he may not be the stranger they all had thought, but instead someone very much closer to home. The story isnt bad but the characters are not really believable and

the ending is unsatisfying. Who Buries the Dead,

by C.S. Harris, is a Sebastian St. Cyr mystery set in 1813 London. It begins with the discovery of a murdered plantation owner - but this is no ordinary murder, as the man has been decapitated and his head placed on display - perhaps as a warning? Could the fact that this man was also a collector of historical oddities - including the severed heads of several notables - be a coin - cidence? The discovery close by of a historic relic from the coffin of King Charles I suggests a con - nection and much of the resulting tale consists of discovering what that connection might be. Interwoven throughout is the deadly relationship

between St. Cyr and Lord Oliphant, a ruthless army officer who once nearly destroyed St. Cyr. Severed heads and bodies multiply, and St. Cyr must unravel the causes and connec - tions between all of this, Oliphant, Londons crimi - nal underbelly, and her upper crust. Overall a good story, with a cast of wonderfully vile char - acters.

Finally, there is 12 Rose Street, by Gail Bowen. A Joanne Kilbourn mystery, it is set in Regina - the authors home. But Regina, and especially her politicians, do not come off well in this tale. Joannes husband Zack is a leading can - didate in the mayoral race but he is opposed by an incumbent who, along with his backers, is

extremely corrupt. Toss in a slum landlord to whom might well be applied the saying with friends like that, who needs enemies, a murder, a vast betrayal by an old friend, and a mysterious woman who resides at the address in the books title, and you have a fairly full story. I found much of it highly unrealistic, and solved the main mystery well in advance. And I can only hope that Regina, and her politicians, arent quite as bad as depicted in this tale!

Hours: Closed Sunday and Monday; Tuesday, 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.; Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

submitted Every spring a dona -

tion campaign is con - ducted on behalf of a maximum 25 registered charitable organizations. You will receive a form in your mailbox listing all the charities who par - ticipate. You can des - ignate an amount to any/ all of the charities you are interested in support - ing.

Once you have com - pleted your form and attached payment you can drop the form off at the designated location or give it to a Donors Choice representative who comes to your home during the town-wide canvass which is taking place from April 20- 24, 2015.

Using Donors Choice eliminates having 25 separate charities come to your door to solicit donations. It is easy to complete the form and

you write a single cheque to support mul - tiple charities. It bene - fits the charities in that they do not require as many volunteers to con - duct door-to-door cam - paigns. 100% of all funds collected go directly to the charities.

For 2015, Souris District Donors Choice will be campaigning on behalf of 24 charities:

Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Mental Health Association, Westman Region, The Canadian Red Cross Society, Child and Family Service of Western Manitoba, The Counselling Centre, Crohns & Colitis Foundation of Canada, Brandon Chapter, Elks and Royal Purple Fund of Children, Glenwood & Souris Regional Library, Heart and Stroke Foundation, The

Kidney Foundation of Canada, Westman Office, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Brandon & District Chapter, Seniors Organized Service of Souris Valley Inc., Society for Manitobans with Disabilities, Souris Cooperative Daycare Centre Inc., Souris and District Harvest Food Bank, Souris and District Heritage Club Inc., Souris Fire Fighters Special Equipment Fund,

Souris Glenwood Foundation, Souris Health Auxiliary, Special Equipment Fund, Souris and Area Palliative Care Committee, Special Olympics Westman, Souris Hillcrest Museum (new to the list of chari - ties for 2015).

Once again the Souris District Donors Choice 2015 Campaign takes place April 20-24.

P ledge forms will be in the mail thursday, A pril 16, 2015.

The Souris District Arts Council is bringing A Buddy Holly Tribute to Souris. After performing in the 7 Ages Theatre Production The Buddy Holly Story, three young men decided to take the show on the road! Rave On: A Buddy Holly Tribute has performed at events such

as Portage Potato Fest, The South Western Manitoba Concert Series, The Winnipeg Beach Concert Series, The Manitoba Summer Fair and many, many more! In the summer of 2012 the band welcomed Tom Dowden into the group as their new Buddy Holly. This show promises to be

lots of fun and may even get you moving on the dance floor! Join us on Thursday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. to enjoy A Buddy Holly Tribute at the Souris and Glenwood Community Hall. For ticket information, see the coming events section of this newspaper.

Buddy Holly Tribute coming to Souris

Cribbage players used five tables on Wednesday, March 25. The highest score was made by Betty Devins and Joan Phillips. The second prize went to Clair Edmunds with Norm Davis and Alva and Don Doherty fin - ished in third place. Joan Dufily held the winning number on the 50-50 draw.

Guess something else

was going on in town on Thursday, March 26, as we had only 12 people out to play Bingo. Barb Gordon and Joan Phillips made the most noise with four shouts each. Close behind them with three yells was Helen Betle. Double hollers came from Betty Devins, Viola Logan, Lil Atchison and Cindy Janz. Cindys last call was on the Little House which was worth $19.

On Friday, March 27, our meat draw was a busy time. Only Smitty and Perry Van de Kerckhove were able to

collect two packages of meat. The 50-50 draw was worth $113 and the lucky number belonged to Cheryl Edwards. Sam Phillips won the oppor - tunity to take home $3,130.50 by locating the Ace of Spades. It remained hidden and will be up for grabs next week. Andy Barclay was celebrating a birth - day.

Please remember, next Friday is Good Friday and our Clubroom will be closed. Our meat draw will, therefore, be held on Saturday, April 4, starting at 5:00 p.m.
