Band angles for more cash
Posted by Steve on Friday, July 04, 2008 (15:00:19) (25 reads)
A southeast Manitoba aboriginal band is refusing to hand over fishing licence revenue to the province in an effort to reel in far more cash it says it needs to patrol for illegal anglers.
Buffalo Point First Nation told Manitoba Conservation in a letter this week that it has given nearly $3 million in revenue from fishing licence sales at the reserve to the government since 1980, while seeing "no monitoring and absolutely no enhancement" of provincial enforcement.
"We need to put our foot down and say enough is enough," John Thunder, chief of the reserve on the shore of Lake of the Woods, said yesterday. "They never go out there and do anything."
Buffalo Point will keep its licence cash -- between $110,000 and $130,000 a year -- to itself until it sees the conservation department do more to prevent illegal catches, Thunder said. He estimated $300,000 worth of fish are illegally taken annually near the reserve, near the Minnesota border, largely by U.S. anglers.
The governing New Democrats said only that they will talk to Buffalo Point's officials about any problems.

Discover boating and cast off this summer
Posted by Steve on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 (22:35:07) (10 reads)
With summer officially here, Canada's lakes, rivers and waterways will be flooded with activity. But those on the shore are left to dream of a better life - a life with a boat. For anyone ready to turn that dream into a reality, here are four easy steps to get started in boating.
1. Find the Right Fit. When deciding on a boat, ask yourself a few questions...what type of activities are you interested in? Where will you be boating? Who will you be boating with and how many people? The answers should help you narrow down the boat types that are right for you.
2. Do Your Homework. One of the best places to shop for a boat is at a boat show. Or, jump on the DiscoverBoating.ca website where you can use the boat selector tool to search a variety of boats to find the perfect one to fit your needs.
3. Test the Waters. Find a dealer that sells the brands that you are most interested in and ask for a "test drive." This will let you experience how the boat performs.
4. Get Educated. Complete a boater's education course with family members prior to launching your boat into the water. Everyone will have more fun with confidence in their abilities as smart boaters.

Testing the waters: Seven steps to spousal conversion
Posted by Steve on Thursday, June 12, 2008 (16:43:51) (28 reads)
Despite the obvious benefits to boating, some still need help convincing their significant other (S.O.) the time has come to buy a boat and get out on the water. Discover Boating has developed a seven-step boat ownership program that, if executed correctly, can help you help that special someone understand why life is better with a boat.
1. Approximately eighty percent of Canadians live within a two hour's drive of a body of water. Talk to a local boat dealer or check out popular boating destinations on DiscoverBoating.ca to find your local water escapes.
2. Snuggle up and watch the free Get Started in Boating DVD available at DiscoverBoating.ca or plan some 'window shopping' at a local boat show.
3. Plan a day with friends who own a boat - get them to brag to your S.O. about how much better life is with a boat.
4. Help your S.O. understand how affordable boat ownership can be. Depending on the size of the boat, monthly payments can be as low as $105 per month.
5. Set up a time with your S.O. and a dealer to test drive a few boats. They'll be hooked the minute wind starts blowing in their hair.
6. Talk to your S.O. about all of the family time you'll be able to spend together on the boat - this will definitely help convince them.
7. By now your S.O. should be as excited about a new boat purchase as you are. Sit down with your S.O. and make the decision together. Life is short and it's better with a boat!

HIGH WATER ADVISORY ISSUED FOR WINNIPEG RIVER IN EASTERN MANITOBA
Posted by Steve on Sunday, June 08, 2008 (19:11:22) (35 reads)
Manitoba Water Stewardship’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre has issued a high water advisory for the Manitoba portion of the Winnipeg River in eastern Manitoba.
The river has been rising steadily since early May after several significant rains in the area.
The level of Nutimik Lake has already risen 0.8 metres (2.6 feet) since early May and is expected to rise at least 0.5 metres (1.6 feet) more. A crest of 905.2 feet is expected at Nutimik Lake sometime around June 20. The normal summer level of the lake is 901.5 feet.
The anticipated crest will affect low-lying portions of some recreational properties, parks, docks and some boathouses. Cottagers, boaters and fishers along the Winnipeg River are advised to take necessary precautions to protect their properties. The strong current will make boating dangerous so extra caution is advised. Inexperienced boaters and canoeists are advised to stay off the Winnipeg River.
This advisory will be updated during the coming weeks if the flood prospects change significantly.
Information on water levels is available at www.gov.mb.ca/waterstewardship.

Cottage-country highway a disgrace, say resort operators
Posted by Steve on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 (18:29:16) (215 reads)
Residents of one of Manitoba's top tourist areas say their roads are being ignored by the provincial government and are worse every year.
"Someone said driving from West Hawk to Rennie is like going through a minefield. That's something I heard from a customer who came in," said Carol Surowich, owner of the West Hawk Lake Resort.
Surowich said that particular stretch of Highway 44 is in terrible shape, as is the portion of the highway that forms the main drag in the West Hawk townsite.
"It's just holes and lumps. It's in really, really bad repair," she said. "We've had an older gentleman walk across the parking lot to the bar and fall in a pothole."
Lionel St. Godard, who owns the nearby Keystone Resort, said the West Hawk road is so bad the province might as well just gravel it.
"People are losing boats off their trailers," he said.
St. Godard pointed out that provincial Transportation Minister Ron Lemieux is the area's MLA.
"People have phoned his office and nothing's being done about it," St. Godard said. "Even Tourism should be pushing the government to fix this."
St. Godard said spot-patching and other "band-aid" repairs are done, but the roads need major work.
A spokesman for Lemieux said although major repairs are not currently scheduled for those portions of Highway 44, part of the government's infrastructure plan includes a strategic resurfacing fund and a flexible response fund.
Manitoba recently announced a $2-billion infrastructure renewal program that includes Highway 307 through the Whiteshell, and on portions of Highway 44 much farther west, the spokesman said.
