    his past fall Minnedosa own Council engaged theservices of J. Harper and Associates to conduct a fea-sibility study on the town’s proposed MREC facility.

    J. Harper and Associates prepared the feasibility re-port and presented the ndings to own Council and the

    MREC committee prior to Christmas.

    Much to the disappointment of the council and oth-ers who have dedicated time and energy into perusing a

    new recreation centre the report indicated a number ofissues with the own’s business plan and proposed de-sign.

    “J. Harper’s ndings indicate that while it is evidentthe Minnedosa needs to update or replace our currentfacility, proceeding with a two sheet complex is not fea-

    sible. It is disappointing news for sure. We have had a lotof people working on this, trying to do a good thing forMinnedosa, but over the past ve years the landscape

    around us has changed quite a bit and that has impacteda number of factors,” commented Minnedosa Mayor, RayOrr.

      Jack Harper, who is an expert in the eld of recre-ational facility development, prepared the report with thebest judgment in light of the information available at the

    time of preparation.Te objective of the feasibility report is to acquire a

    third party review of the concept, building program and

    business plan. Te study assesses the long-term feasibil-ity, viability and sustainability and also provides a recom-mended path forward in terms of implementing, post-

    poning, staging or abandoning the project.J. Harper and Associates approached the study by

    creating ve questions that test the feasibility of the proj-

    ect. Completion of the report showed four of ve ques-tions receiving negative responses, further indicatingthat, “in its present form the proposed event centre is

    not viable, feasible, or sustainable over the long-term.Te consultants cannot support the project in its currentform, nor do they believe in abandoning the project.”

    1 - Local and regional market— what is the market

    and is it supported by the recommended componentsand set of spaces?

      “Based on the current economic climate in the re-gion, level of demand, supply of facilities and competi-tion in the marketplace—there is no evidence that the

    market for a MREC will support the components and setof spaces for the proposed facility,” stated the feasibilityreport.

    Finding a New

    Path ForwardMREC Feasibility Study

    By JENNIFER PAIGE 

     After years of assess-ment and consider-ation, Rolling River SchoolDivision has completedthe purchase of a new

    building for its administra-tive offi ce.

    Effective January 1st,

    2014, RRSD is the newowner of the buildinglocated at 36 Armitage

     Ave., known to most asthe Minnedosa ProvincialBuilding.

    Te 14,300 square footbuilding was previouslyowned by a private compa-

    ny which held lease agree-ments with the ProvincialGovernment. As part of

    the purchase agreement,the school division will behonoring the current lease

    arrangements which are ineffect until December 31st,2015.

      “We are excited aboutthis development andthe positive things it will

    mean for the division. Te

    building is in a great loca-

    tion and it will allow us thespace to do everything weneed. Te previous owner

    had lease agreements inplace, so we will not bemoving in until January

    1, 2016, but in the mean-time the building will be asource of revenue for us,”

    explained Reg Klassen, su-perintendent of RRSD.

    Te decision to pur-

    chase the building hasbeen a multi-year processbeginning in 2006. Since

    that time a number ofstudies have been under-taken to assess the options

    that would best addressthe issues the division wasfacing at its current loca-

    tion.Concerns with the

    current administrative

    building include an overalllack of offi ce space and in-adequate space conditions

    for some of the staff, spe-cically lacking space forthe Information echnol-

    ogy and Student Services

    departments, structural

    and mechanical issues dueto the age of the building,need for repair and up-

    grades, as well as lack ofspace for the transporta-tion bus storage and parts.

      “It has taken eight years to make this deci-sion and by the time we

    get into the building it willhave been ten years sincethe school division began

    to look at this. It has been a very careful and somewhattedious process to make

    sure that we are makingthe very best decisions that

     we can with our nances,”

    continued Klassen.In 2006, the division

    hired LM Architectural

    Group to assess and createa feasibility study on thecurrent division offi ce. Te

    study was presented to theschool division board ofdirectors in 2007, at which

    time the Board DivisionOffi ce Space Review AdHoc Committee was cre-

    ated to coordinate the as-

    sessment of options and

    develop a plan.  Te committee along

     with the assistance of

    LM Architectural Group, worked to assess all of thedivision’s viable options.

     Which included, renovat-ing the current buildingand building new main-

    tenance shop; building,purchasing or leasinga new space for the ad-

    ministration offi ce andmoving the maintenanceshop to the current offi ce

    location; building a newtransportation garage andmaintenance shop and

    renovating the currentoffi ce or building a newoffi ce, garage and shop.

    “We had looked at theprovincial building as anoption a number of years

    ago and after all this timeit is still the best option forus,” stated Klassen. “

      “When we considered a new building, we lookedat building something that was 5,000-6,000 sq. feet,

    but we had concerns that would still not afford usthe space required to have everything we need in thedivision offi ce, especially in the years to come,” ex-

    plained Klassen. “Tis building gives us 7,000 squarefeet on the main oor and also costs signicantly lessthan building new.”

      RRSD began investigating the purchase of theMinnedosa Provincial Building in 2011 at whichpoint a complete structural, electrical and mechani-

    cal system inspection was undertaken.Funding for the purchase comes through a capi-

    tal reserve fund that was established for the construc-

    tion or purchase of a new division administration

    structure a number of years ago. Tere will be no ad-ditional levy on taxpayers to subsidize this purchase.

    In January 2016, RRSD will spend some time ren-ovating the main oor of the building to better suitits purposes and will move to the new location once

    renovations are complete.Te division has plans to continue to lease the

    second oor space and utilize the revenue to fund fu-

    ture building renovations and upgrades.“In January 2016, we will likely be looking to re-

     vamp the main oor to suit our purposes and con-

    tinue to lease the second oor. We are hoping that theprovince would still like to lease the second oor, butthat will take care of itself over time,” added Klassen.

    Board Division Offi ce Space Review Ad HocCommittee plans to continue to meet and reviewoptions and develop plans to address issues related

    to the maintenance shop and transportation garage which will remain at its current location when the ad-ministrative offi ce relocates.

    “Tere are no denite plans for the current build-ing once we move. We still have a bus garage here andit will continue to serve as that once we have moved

    the administrative offi ces. Tere are a number of pos-sibilities for us. We may look to utilize it for one of ourschools, possibly lease it or if we eventually nd an-

    other location for our bus garage then we may con-sider selling the building eventually. At this point wedon’t have any plans.”

      For now the school division is excited about thislong-time development and looks forward to 2016and the many possibilities this new space will bring.

    “Seminar rooms, eacher’s Learning Centre,

    meeting spaces, work areas, these are all spaces that we look forward to having,” added Klassen.

     wo local brothers andbusiness partners haveexperienced quite a bit of

    business success over the years and are now lookingto continue to prosper with

    the help of a few million-aires and a National televi-sion show.

    Lawrence and Chris Warwaruk were raised ona farm outside of Erickson,

    Manitoba with ve otherbrothers and a sister. Tetwo brothers grew and

    eventually left for the big

    city in hopes of establish-ing a successful business

    to help fund the familyfarm.

    In 1999, the brothers

    moved to Winnipeg andopened a restaurant alongOsborne Street in South

     Winnipeg called LuxSole.LuxSole became well-

    known in the community

    and has a reputation ofsourcing all its productslocally. After ten years of

    running the downtownrestaurant the brothers

     jumped into the bar/beerbusiness opening Luxa-lane Gastropub in 2009.  Te pub became

    known for offering over150 beers from aroundthe world. Trough this

    business the Warwaruk

    brothers discovered a localmarket for diverse beer op-tions.

    Te Warwaruk’s saw

    a lack of draft beer beingproduced in Manitoba anddecided to combine their

    farming background andservice industry savvy tocreate North America’s rst

    estate brewery, FarmeryEstate Brewery.

    “Te point of the

    Farmery is to grow theingredients on our farmthat go into our beer. We

    are taking it back to the

    grassroots, allowing youto know where your beer

    comes from,” explainedChris Warwaruk.

    Farmery Estate Brew-

    ery’s agship beer is theFarmery Premium Lagerand has been picked up

    by a number of Manitobabusinesses, pubs, bars andManitoba Liquor Control

    Commissions throughoutthe province.

    “Our vision was to

    grow the barley and hopson our farm, harvest it

    and brew the beer all atone site. We have receivedgreat support from allacross Manitoba,” added

     Warwaruk.  On January 8th, the

     Warwaruk brothers made

    an appearance on CBCtelevision’s Dragon’s Den,

     where aspiring entrepre-neurs pitch their businessconcepts and products to a

    panel of Canadian businessmoguls.

    Te brother’s were

    hoping to seal a deal withone of ve millionaire ven-ture capitalist. Farmery Es-

    tate Brewery is looking forcapital investment to assistin the development of the

    brand and fund the creationof a brewery that will allowinterested parties to tour the

    farm and brewery facility.Farmery Estate Brew-

    ery is looking to get into

    the agri-tourism marketconverting farmland Eastof Neepawa—near Arden

    Ridge, right along Highway#16— into a traditional postand beam barn to house

    brewery equipment, mer-

    chandise and a small sam-pling bar that they hope will

    attract visitors.Tis will be the second

    time the Warwaruk’s have

    come face-to-face with theDragons. About eight yearsago the Warwaruk’s ap-

    peared on Dragon’s Den,pitching a smart card con-cept that was quickly shot

    down. On their second ap-pearance the brothers arehoping for a different out-

    come.“Tis time around

     wasn’t as nerve-wrecking

    as the rst time,” said Chris.“Tis time we already had atrack record of success, and

     we were condent aboutour product. We nishedour rst year in the mar-

    ketplace on our own meritbefore going. We went in

     with a solid foundation that

    people can get behind.”

    2 - Management and

    business plan— is the

    management/businessplan viable and does itrepresent the most effec-

    tive option for operationalmanaging?  “Te projected oper-

    ating budget for the facil-ity underestimates the truecost of operation and the

    revenues are overly opti-mistic given the marketconditions in the region.

    Te business plan is not viable and does not rep-resent the most effective

    option for managed a newMREC.”

    3 - Feasibility and

    construction costs—canthe components and spac-es be built for the estimat-

    ed capital cost?  “At least three poten-tial cost factors and vari-

    able need to be carefullymanaged and controlledthrough rigorous over-

    sight, however, it may bepossible that the proposed

    can be built for the project-ed $25,641,362.00”

    4 - Fundraising ca-

    pacity —can the capital be

    raised to pay for the cen-tres construction?  “A combination of

    factors suggests that theminimum $25 millioncapital funds are unlikely

    to be raised due to preced-ing federal and provincialfunding to comparable

    projects, lack of federaldesignated to recreationinfrastructure program,

    municipal limit of avail-able capital resources andcapacity within the com-

    munity for signicant ad-ditional fundraising.”

      5 - Financial Viabili-

    ty —can the centre operatefor the cost outlined in thebusiness plan? Will it gen-erate the revenues that are

    estimated? Will it achieve asurplus?  “Te projected square

    footage costs of operatingin the MREC business planare half of even the most

    modest operation and re-ect the relative inadequa-cy of the proposed operat-

    ing budget. Consultantsbelieve that instead of theevent centre operating at

    a surplus as predicted in

    the MREC business planthe facility will operate at

    a substantial decit requir-ing ongoing tax support.”  In summary, the re-

    port points to a few keyaspects that interfere withthe feasibility of the proj-

    ect:  T e realistic cost tobuild the complex is go-

    ing to be greater than an-ticipated at approximately,$25 million.

    Te ndings of thereport indicate the likeli-

    hood of government fund-ing to the level originally

    anticipated is severely

    compromised. Tis along with the increased capitalcost will result in a fundingshortfall which appears to

    be beyond what the com-munity is capable of rais-ing.

    Since the original con-ception of the project themarketplace has changed.

    Every year the numbers inlocal hockey leagues havedropped and recreation

    complexes in nearby cen-tres have been built, creat-ing a down turn in usage

    and an increase in compe-

    tition. Te report indicatesthat demand of the second

    sheet of ice would be spo-radic at best.

    Due to the changing

    recreational landscapeand a few other factors thereport notes that it is not

    reasonable to assume thatenough revenue wouldbe generated to cover op-

    eration costs. A shortfall would likely occur which would have to be covered

     with tax dollars. While the rep ort high-

    lights a number of issuessurrounding the current

    plan it was also noted that

    perusing a recreational fa-cility in Minnedosa is cer-tainly a worthwhile cause.

    “T e consultants be-

    lieve there is suffi cient needand support for improvedrecreation facilities and ser-

     vice in the community to warrant the development ofa revised plan and renewed

    development strategy,” stat-ed J. Harper.

    Te report notes that

    the concept of postponingthe project would only re-sult in increased costs and

    less probability that the

    project would be complet-ed. It is recommended that

    the project be scaled backto a single sheet of ice andminimize the building size

    and other proposed fea-tures.

    “We have always said

    that we will build the best we can with what we have. A lot of people have put in

    time and money towardsthis project. It behooves usnow to take some time and

    determine the best way tomove this project forward.

    o determine as best we

    can, what it is that will befeasible, sustainable and will suit the needs of thiscommunity for the next 50

    to 60 years and do what isnecessary to get this built,”said Orr.

    Council has a generalplanning session scheduledfor later this week when

    they will divulge further intothe report’s recommenda-tions and begin to plan a

    new path forward.“We certainly won’t be

    rushing this. Te plan is to

    sit back and carefully and

    cautiously determine whatthe logical steps forward will

    be. We are looking to engageHarper when preparing thenew project plan and will

    continue to work with thebuilding committee wehave established,” contin-

    ued Orr.own Council will also

    be looking at contacting

    stakeholders who have in- vested funds into the proj-ect to inform them that the

    plans will be altered andalso give them an opportu-

    nity to retract their dona-

    tions.“Tis is something thatcouncil will certainly haveto discuss, but I don’t really

    see another option but tooffer to give the money backas we cannot uphold our

    original end of the agree-ment. I hope that people

     will understand and contin-

    ue to support this project asit will still be of great benetto our town,” said Orr.

    Te full feasibility re-port from J. Harper and As-sociates is available to the

    public in hard copy at the

    own Offi ce or on the Dis-cover Minnedosa website.

    The Chrismas Day Dinner Commitee

    Greetings friends ofthe column. MerryChristmas and Happy

    New Year! Perhaps you’realready sick of hearingHappy New Year, but I had

    to get it in while I had thechance.

    I didn’t even know Teribune  was shut down forthe holidays, I just didn’tsubmit an article last week.

    Low and behold I cameback to work on Mondayand had an email from

    Darryl telling me that they

     were back in business forthe New Year. Good thing Ididn’t submit one.

     Anyways, I digress.Let’s talk turkey...and notthe Christmas kind. Let’s

    talk about police stuff.Local offi cers kept

    busy through the holidays

    and new year with 64 callsfor service.

    Tere have been some

    items going missing from vehicles around town. Asalways, I will remind you

    to lock your vehicles. Yes,

     we live in a small town, butdon’t take your chances.

     And don’t leave walletsand purses in vehicles.Please? Tank you.

      Fraud calls are on therise as well. Keep an eyeout for shifty phone calls

    asking for personal infor-mation. Don’t worry aboutbeing rude... just hang up.

    Tey are used to it. Samegoes for email. If it’s notsomeone you know, then

    don’t be sending thempersonal information.  An impaired driver

     was picked up on Highway#10 coming home fromBrandon. Te female was

    released to a sober driverand will be going to courtto deal with her charges.

      Welcome to 2014, andhere is what you reallycame for. Wicked speeds

    and expensive tickets. Let’scheck it out. An 18-year-

    old from Austin, MB de-cided he was in a hurry oneday. Maybe he is always in

    a hurry... but this time hegot stopped by the police.He was travelling 130km/

    hr, and received a $442.75ticket for his efforts. Per-haps he won’t be in such

    a hurry next time. I believeMPI will have somethingto say about his license

    as well in the upcomingmonths. Driving is a privi-lege, not a right. Let’s re-

    member that as we begin2014. And there you haveit, your beloved speeder

    of the week... as long as it’snot you of course.  Cheers and all the best

    in 2014. See you next timein the Cops’ Corner.

    Don’t take chances...lock your vehicle

    Cops’ CornerByCst. JUSTIN

    HUDDLE By ROBERA GALBRAIH 

    Recently the Minnedosa Rotary Club and itsmembers, along with our partnership with theCHANGE Humanitarian group from MCI donated

    funds to Shelterbox Canada to aid those individu-als affected by the Philippine yphoon and subse-quent disaster relief efforts. You might ask what is

    a Shelterbox? A shelterbox   is just that a box of relief suppliesthat is given free of charge to those affected by a di-

    saster and are without their home and any of thesupplies that you would normally have at your dis-posal. In addition to a 10 man tent there are sleep-

    ing bags, cooking pots, utensils, an axe, shovel, saw,cooking stove, water purication tablets, sanitationsupplies and more. It is survival in a box, delivered

    to the most needy and deemed sturdy enough to al-low a family to endure life for up to six months ifneed be. Many disaster sites have seen displaced

    people live in these tents with these resources for well beyond that timeframe.

    In November at our Rotary Revue evening

     which celebrated the characteristics of being Ca-nadian shared through songs that the StrathclairChoral Singers performed for us we talked about

    Shelterbox and how we as a community can make adifference to others. Spontaneous donations cameforward that evening and during the next few weeks

     we collected funds from others and so in the end ourMinnedosa Rotary Club and community donatedin excess of $7,000.00 to Shelterbox Canada which

    in turn was then matched by the Government ofCanada through their pledge to this disaster and sonow armed with $14,000 in funds Shelterbox pro-

     vided 14 of these survival boxes to families in needin the Philippines. 100% of the donation given goesto disaster relief as Shelterbox Canada is powered

    by volunteers.

    B y the end of Janu-

    ary, Minnedosa ownCouncil hopes to securea lead on private fundingfor a new medical clinic.

    “We are convinced ofthe need to build a newclinic. We have had a

    number of conversations with a private companyand we will likely hear

    back from them by theend of January on whetheror not they plan to move

    forward with the develop-ment of a clinic here,” ex-plained Minnedosa may-

    or, Ray Orr.

    Te own has been working closely with the

    Regional Health Authority

    to determine the best lo-cation for the new clinic,

    pinpointing a lot west ofthe Minnedosa hospi-tal and North of Frontierrading Company.

    “T is is somethingthat has been an issue fora while. Our current clinic

    is quite out-of-date and we have an ongoing chal-lenge keeping doctors in

    town. Having a more up-to-date facility for themto work in would certainly

    be more attractive to themand equally benecial toresidents,” added Orr.

    By the end of January

    the own should know whether or not they have

    a private company inter-

    ested and will proceedaccordingly. Te private

    investors would invest inthe construction and on-going management of theclinic.

    “At this time we have

    a general design for the

    clinic which the RHA hasassisted with and we are

    certainly prepared to pro-ceed with plans once weconrm the private fund-ing,” said Orr.

    SHELTERBELTS

    SUBMITTED 

     At the Manitoba Con-servation Districts Associa tion Confe renceheld in December, the

    Little Saskatchewan Riv-er Conservation Districtrecognized Charles and

    Meriel avernor with theLSRCD Conservation

     Award . he following d e-

    scribes their stewardshippractices.  Charles and Meriel

    avernor emigrated fromEngland seven and a half

     years ago. Coming from

    a dairy, beef, and sheepbackground, raisingcattle and/or sheep was

     what they planned to doin Canada. More impor-tantly than finding a farm

    already set-up for those

    types of enterprises wassettling in an area that

    had the natural featuresthat they had been usedto in England. he com-

    ponents being natural water feature s, trees, andan undulating and pas-

    toral landscape. Locatednorth of Basswood, theirfarm lies along the south

    side of the Little Sas-katchewan River Valley.he picturesque view is

    comprised of an undulat-ing tract of bush, slough,and farmland that lies

    along the valley edge andruns down approximately250 feet to the river in the

    bottom.  When the avernor’spurchased their 1,100

    acre farm, 800 acres were

    under cultivation, 200acres sustained bush on

    the steep valley walls, and100 acres were comprisedof a mixture of sloughs,

    bush and a lake. A Con-servation Agreement wascompleted with the Man-

    itoba Habitat HeritageCorporation to protectthe 300 acres of natural

    features.Early on in the farm

    transition process, an

    environmental farm plan was completed. histool helped to identify

    actions and have accessto expertise and fundingresources to complete

    the transition. Guidedby detailed maps to helpthem plan perimeter and

    cross-fences and buried

     water lines and trough s,the avernor’s have useda phased approach to

    transition the 800 acres ofannual cropland. In turn,each parcel is fenced, has

     watering infras tructur einstalled, and is seededdown to permanent, pe-

    rennial forages. Seed-ing down the annualcropland to rotationally

    grazed forages has sta-bilized the soil, reduced

     water erosion , and at the

    same time increased wa-ter retention. Other ac-tions taken have been the

    restoration of wetlands

    by plugging man-made

    drainage channels, re-pairing cuts and gullies,and planting shelterbelts.

    “While we are notnecessarily doing any-thing here that is not be-

    ing done equally well orbetter by others, we aredoing it against the back-

    drop of a very beautifultract of countryside.” –Charles avernor.

      he avernor’s havespent countless hoursfencing and being out

     with the cattle. heirfarm is not only the place

     where they make their

    living it is also their oa-

    sis where flora and fauna

    abound. As Meriel put it“Our farm is a place thatlifts your heart and not

    one that depresses yoursoul.”  It is for their pas-

    sion to integrate farming, wildl ife, conser vation,and environmental stew-

    ardship that the LittleSaskatchewan River Con-servation District recog-

    nizes Charles and Me-riel avernor – ParklandRidge Farm with the 2013

    Conservation District Award.

    Sunrise Credit Unionand Sandy Lake CreditUnion are pleased to an-nounce they have enteredinto discussions and com-menced due diligence ac-tivities with the intentionto amalgamate by May2014.  Sandy Lake CreditUnion CEO Iris Popple-stone said in a statement“We feel that amalgama-tion will strengthen our -

    nancial position and helpus continue to provide the

    best products and servicesto our membership. Also,

     we want to give our peoplethe best tools for the job. Amerger with Sunrise CreditUnion will create the ca-pacity to make that hap-pen.”

    Because a merger with Sandy Lake CreditUnion would account forless than a 10% increasein assets, the merger canbe approved by the Sun-

    rise Credit Union Boardof Directors without a full

    membership vote.  Sandy Lake CreditUnion members, however,

     will have the opportunityto vote at their next AnnualGeneral Meeting to be heldin Sandy Lake on January27th.  “We warmly welcomeSandy Lake Credit Unionmembers to the Sunrisefamily. By joining togeth-er and sharing resourcessuch as technology, -

    nance, knowledge and ex-perience, effi ciencies will

    improve, allowing accessto increased products andservices which will providegreater value to our com-bined membership andcommunities,” stated Har-ry Bowler, President/CEOof Sunrise Credit Union.

    Sandy Lake will markthe 14th community servedby Sunrise Credit Union.Sandy Lake contributes

    approximately $17 millionof assets to the organiza-

    tion bringing the amal-gamated total assets closeto $800 million serving ap-proximately 22,000 mem-bers. Both Sandy Lake andSunrise Credit Unions aremember owned commu-nity focused organizationsdedicated to providingpersonalized competitivenancial services for thebenet of members and

    communities. It is thesefoundational and co-op-

    erative philosophies thatbring these two like-mind-ed Credit Unions together.  Tere are no planned

     job cuts resulting from themerger and Sandy Lakeemployees will enjoy anexpanded range of de-

     velopment opportunitiesavailable through SunriseCredit Union.)
