tastiest of traditions

McCreary’s Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival satisfies every sweet-tooth

On Saturday, Apr. 13, McCreary held their annual Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival. The event featured a market, information and instruction about tapping trees, maple syrup and bannock treats and lots of entertainment. The day boasted warm, sunny weather, bringing in people of all ages from all over the world to learn about this Canadian tradition.

Right: One of the highlights of the festival every year is maple taffy on snow. Maple syrup is heated until it reaches candy consistency, then poured onto snow. Whoever wants to taste the delicacy can grab a popsicle stick and roll the maple onto the stick to make a sticky, sweet maple popsicle.

Below: After a horse-drawn wagon ride to the sugar bush, where the maple sap is collected in over 1,000 buckets, festival goers had the chance to roast bannock over a fire and top it with syrup, or a selection of local jams.

Beautiful Plains Med Clinic Lotto well underway

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

Tickets are now available for this year’s Medical Clinic Lottery. Functioning as a fundraiser for the betterment of the Beautiful Plains Medical Clinic (BPMC) in Neepawa, money raised from the lottery has been used to fund renovations and expansions at the community owned medical clinic. This includes the construction of their newest development, which provides 1,920 square feet of additional space. The space includes eight new examination rooms and two basement suites for medical staff, particularly students.

Judge rules on Neepawa Home Hardware civil case

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

A Manitoba judge has dismissed a civil lawsuit related to the 2015 fire at Neepawa’s Home Hardware.

The fire, which happened in late February, completely destroyed the building that had been located on the 300 block of Mountain Ave. The business, along with four apartments located on the second floor, were lost in the blaze.

T h is lega l matter stemmed from the Economical Mutual Insurance Company’s decision to deny over $3 million in coverage to Patrick Guilbert and Guilbert Enterprises, who owned the building and Home Hardware franchise.

Guilbert sued the insurer for not providing that coverage.

The verdict reached by a Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench justice on Mar. 21 dismissed the case, ruling that, “Taking all the evidence into account, which in this case is mostly circumstantial, motive, opportunity, and incendiary cause are established.

Economical has proved, on a balance of probabilities, Guilbert started the fire.”

The reasoning behind the judge’s decision has been laid out in a 36-page document that has been released to the public. On page 25 of the document, the judge cites several reasons for his ruling, in addition to Guilbert’s ad-

mission of a financial motive, including: • Guilbert’s removal of personal items on the day of the fire.

• The finding of investigators that the basement door was closed, according to testimony from firefighters on the scene. That door, which witnesses testified was normally left open and was open when staff left at closing that day, allowed access to the attic when closed. The investigation found that the fire did begin in the attic.

• An exchange the weekend before the fire in which Guilbert indicated to an individual that the business had sold. The individual, who was a silent partner in negotiations to buy the business from Guilbert, knew this was not true.

This legal ruling is dramatically different from the initial RCMP and the Office of the Fire Commissioner reports, which stated that the fire was accidental.

At the time, RCMP determined that while the blaze was of an unknown cause, it was not deemed suspicious and no criminal charges were laid. It should be noted that criminal investigations must generally be proven “beyond a reasonable doubt”, whereas civil cases are decided by lower standards of proof, such as “the preponderance of the evidence”, which essentially means that it was more likely than not that something occurred in a certain way.

Beautiful Plains RCMP staff sergeant Mark Morehouse noted the detachment had no comment at this time in regard to the civil case decision or whether the criminal investigation will be reopened.

Former tenants react to verdict The response to the ruling has varied throughout the community. The Banner & Press attempted to contact each of the tenants who lived above the store to get their reactions to the ruling.

Chase Ruttig, a news reporter and editor with the Neepawa Press at the time of the fire, lived in one of

those apartments. He noted that he had mixed emotions upon learning of the judge’s decision.

“It is bittersweet to finally receive news of justice after four years and through the civil courts. It was always in the back of my mind based on information I had that arson was involved and I was disappointed the local RCMP did not pursue criminal charges,” stated Ruttig. “[Guilbert’s] reckless and selfish actions caused a loss of cherished possessions and negative mental health ramifications for myself. I hope the RCMP reopens the case now that it is public knowledge of the background of

Local filmmaker Eric Warwaruk’s latest movie made its debut at the Roxy Theatre on Thursday, Apr. 11. A Scratching Sound, which was shot in Winnipeg and parts of rural Manitoba, was written, produced, directed and edited by Warwaruk. A Scratching Sound is a psychological horror movie, in similar vein as a David Lynch film. Members of the cast and crew who were able to attend the Neepawa screening included (From left to right): Kenneth Wright, Mark Kiazyk, Erin Hyndman, Eric Warwaruk and Corey Rademaker.

Neepawa has joined a very select number of communities that are spotlighted on the Manitoba Highways map. The town, along with Stonewall and Niverville, will have their municipal maps included to the 2019 print and online versions of the provincial travel map. Manitoba’s infrastructure minister, Ron Schuler, said in a released statement that these towns have been added to reflect their rising populations. In the most recent census, Neepawa’s population was tallied at 4,609, while Stonewall was listed at 4,809 and Niverville recorded a population of 4,610.

Neepawa mayor Blake McCutcheon noted that this designation is a real positive for the community.

“It’s exciting that Neepawa’s being recognized as a town that’s becoming a bigger centre for a destination.

It’s all positive, we will pop up when people look on the webpage now and we will be able to have our streets

Excessive and useless taxes solve nothing D

ue to the Easter and Good Friday long weekend, this column is being written a day ahead of the Alberta election. It is bit dangerous to assume a day ahead of an election who will win, but polls show that the United Conservative Party (UCP) will win. If the UCP is victorious, it will mean that there will be conservative style governments in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. It would be nice to think that the Liberal/NDP grip on provincial parties will slip even further. Hopefully, the conservative governments across the country will unite to try and lower deficits and eliminate the very ill-thought-out carbon tax.

As MP Robert Sopuck said at a recent ag forum, a carbon tax in Canada makes no sense whatsoever, as Canada accounts for a bit over one per cent of the carbon emissions in the world.

I love the pictures on Facebook of the beautiful countryside and the caption that says, “I live here.”

The second, contrasting picture shows a very smoggy city and the caption says, “I am tired of being told I have to take better care of the environment by people who live here.” How true that is. The ag areas of Canada feed us all, support wildlife in increasing numbers and serve as the largest carbon storage area on the continent, except for the forests perhaps, and are a model of environmental sustainability.

Certainly, all sectors need to look to doing everything better, but it is hard to swallow moral instruction from cities that bury neepawa

A carbon tax in Canada makes no sense whatsoever, as we account for a bit over one per cent of the carbon emissions in the world.

millions of tonnes of garbage and in the case of many seashore communities, dump their garbage in the ocean and wonder why the turtles get strangled and the whales eat plastic.

British Columbia is a province that has its own quirky set of politics. They split the conservative vote between so-called liberals and conservatives and then wonder why NDP governments get elected. The premier of BC says he wants cars and light trucks to be emission free by 2040. Jason Kenney, who may be Alberta’s premier by the time you read this, has reportedly said that he can make BC carbon free by 2020, by simply shutting off the pipelines.

Not likely to happen, but it makes for a good illustration of how senseless a carbon tax has become.

The day may come when electric vehicles replace gas and diesel powered ones, but it is long way off. Also, when people spout the merits of electric cars and trucks, they aren’t figuring in the cost of electricity or the money required to build the infrastructure to

produce it. Wind generators and heat powered steam generators are costly and don’t have the long service life of hydro dams. Some of Manitoba’s early dams are approaching 100 years of age. Wind turbines, at the present technology, die off long before that.

When, or if the full switch to electric power comes, be it wind, solar, steam or hydro sourced, Manitoba will be in a good position. The problem is that the economy has to survive to get to the future and it certainly won’t survive under the NDP/Liberal/ socialist model for our economy.

Excessive and useless taxes, like the carbon tax, will do nothing to help us “get there”. A country has to grow into prosperous change, not tax its way in.

hat would our communities be like without volunteers?

It’s a timely question to ask, especially since last week was National Volunteer Week. How would our lives be worse off without the 12.7 million Canadians who give their time?

Working for a newspaper, I feel like I have a front row seat to just how much work volunteers are doing in our communities.

On almost every page of the paper, MY there’s evidence PERSPECTIVE of those giving their time. Many of the stories we cover are about Kate vital work being undertaken Jackman-Atkinson by i nd iv idua l volunteers and volunteer-run boards. Many of our ads are for events and initiatives put on by volunteers. We print thank you messages from those whose family members were helped and those whose lives were made a little more comfortable because of people who went out of their way to give their time. I’m always happy when we can share these stories.

We all have unique skills and volunteering is special because anyone can participate; there are as many different volunteer opportunities as there are individuals. Volunteering takes on many different forms and across our communities, there are young people helping seniors, the healthy helping the sick and retirees helping those just getting started. Youth are volunteering as a way to build their skills and those further in their careers are volunteering as a way to share what they have spent a lifetime acquiring.

There is also no one reason why people volunteer. Some do it because they want to see something exist, be it a new facility, a sports team or a fun event. People also volunteer because they believe in a cause, be it town beautification, advancing education or helping those less fortunate. For some, they give their time because they have been positively impacted by volunteers or an organization in the past and some people volunteer because it’s fun. There’s no right or wrong reason to give your time.

Statistics Canada figures from 2010, the most recent available, show just how many Canadians do give their time. In 2010, volunteers put in hours equivalent to 1.1 million full time jobs, not only that, but the number of volunteers were growing compared to previous years. Despite the fact that about half of all Canadians volunteer, communities do face challenges when it comes to recruitment and retention. Every year, people stop volunteering because of changing priorities, health or because they move, which means that organizations must ensure they are recruiting new volunteers each year. This is where many of the challenges lie, most people want to volunteer, but they need to be matched with the right opportunity. For some, it’s just a case of never having been asked.

Based on 2010 research, Volunteer Canada published a report called Bridging the Gap. The report looked at the growing gap between what volunteers look for and the opportunities organizations offer. While volunteers may face different challenges depending on where they are in their lifecycle, the study found a few gaps that were consistent among youth, families, baby boomers and workplace volunteers. These included the fact that many people are looking for group activities, but few organizations can offer them; many people come with professional skills, but many professionals look for volunteer tasks that differ from their work; and many organizations want long-term commitment, but many more volunteers are looking for short-term opportunities.

Knowing what the challenges are can help organizations overcome them.

Our communities’ dedicated volunteers make our towns and villages, communities– without them, we would have few of the amenities that make rural living rich in opportunity. Thanks to all those who give their time and for those who would like to, all you have to do is ask!

Friday questions

s we come to the end of a week, it is time to review the list of activities and obligations made on Monday to see how much has been achieved.

We do this on Friday so that, if we are behind on anything, we can use part of Saturday and Sunday to catch up.

Our goal is to see what we’ve accomplished and understand why some goals weren’t met. This calls for transparent honesty; as our answers to Friday’s questions could reveal some hidden issues that need to be addressed.

Question one: Were all commitments fulfilled on time? If not, why not? Most of the time, an unfulfilled commitment is due to one of two things. Either the appointment was canceled, or it had to be changed because of unforeseen circumstances. Either way, our schedules need to be adjusted to accommodate the change.

Question two: Did health problems limit you this week? If so, to what extent?

We all have bad days from time to time. Some struggle

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein

with common colds that won’t go away, or allergies that flare up, especially at this time of the year. Others wage ongoing battles with arthritis, diabetes and similar diseases. Emotional problems like depression or anxiety can seriously limit our productivity. If these problems exist, note their impact on your activities this week. If they persist, see your doctor. Get them checked out.

Question three: Was progress made on long-term goals? If so, record what was done and how much of each long-term goal has been achieved.

Question four: How many unplanned events took place this week? How did they affect your ability to keep scheduled commitments or make progress on long-term goals? This

is where we evaluate our response to the last question we asked on Monday– “am I prepared to allow God to change my schedule if need be so that I can be in the right place at the right time to help those he wants me to help?” Unplanned events will happen. We cannot predict them. Illness can strike us, a family member or a friend at any time. Accidents can (and do) happen.

A sudden emergency can mean additional hours of work. Our response to the event is critical. If we view it in a positive way, the outcome will be positive.

If we don’t, our negative attitude could cause additional problems for us and for those we love.

Some people view unplanned events as an inconvenience; as something that disrupts plans and de-

stroys dreams. This attitude is revealed in statements like: “I don’t need this,” or “I need this like I need another hole in my head.”

These responses reveal a degree of self-centeredness that can create additional stress in the workplace and severely damage (sometimes destroy) personal relationships.

An alternative is to see unplanned events as God’s way of steering our lives in the direction he wants them to go. It has often been said that you can’t steer a vehicle that isn’t moving. The goals we set for a week get us moving; doing things we need to do in order to make a living and support those who depend on us.

An unplanned event can be God’s way of adjusting our course, be it ever so slightly, so that we can fulfill his plans for our lives. God doesn’t need our permission to change our plans.

What he desires is our cooperation– our willingness to work with him so that he can answer the prayers and meet the needs of those near us who seek his help.

If I had my druthers I

have given this a fair bit of consideration and am well aware that I do not have all the facts, however, I have a great deal of feelings. If I had my druthers, we would take a step back in agricultural development. There would be a home, a yard, life, on every quarter section, or at least on every half section.

In my envisioning, there is a family, with a garden, pets and perhaps even some livestock, living and loving the land. The garden would supply healthy food for the family, some chores for the children and a haven for bees and butterflies. There are not nearly enough of these insects, nor of chores with a purpose for children.

No problem if the chickens become pets and the cow has a name, that is a part of rural life.

It goes further than that.

The trees surrounding the yard provide shelter for wildlife, a diminishing

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen habitat as we progress. The tree line catches snow and the drifts are wondrous for winter play and slow down the spring melt, conserving precious moisture. If I understand correctly, when south western Manitoba suffered from extreme overland flooding a few years ago, if there had been dug outs, sloughs and wetlands, the water would have lingered rather than rushing and damaging roads and fields. I get it: we have enormous farming equipment and the fewer obstacles on the land, the easier it is to farm. Let’s designate a corner for a family, and we all win.

In my dream world, we do not bring back the one room

school house. Our roads and transportation system allow easy, if not quick, access to large schools.

However, I am of the age that I know how dedicated and efficient many young teachers with 10 months of normal school were. Young men and women did an incredible job of managing and teaching dozens of children in multiple grades, with lasting results.

In my dream world, I accept the fact that both parents will need to be gainfully employed. Gone are the days when a small mom and dad farm can pay its own way. Sadly. It was deeply satisfying to be a stay at home mom and a farming partner. The work

was hard and the days were long. Working together for a common goal, involving the entire family in the process, taught life skills and values.

The chores were never make work projects, rather an essential contribution to the whole.

If I had my druthers, time would slow down, but only we can control that.

Making space in a day or a week to engage in an activity that brings satisfaction and contentment slows the pace. Allows us the breathe and feel rather than rush.

In my dream world, folks would stop by for coffee without scheduling a meeting at a local restaurant. Neighbours being neighbourly. And here’s the wonder, such communities still exist. Enriching lives.

Meeting needs. Still, if I had my druthers, there would be more people living in the country! For the land and the people.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin

T

here is a little plot of dirt in my backyard and this morning, I noticed some red dots in it. Looking closer, I noticed that the rhubarb is coming up. I was told it is the sweet red variety and to me, it tells me that spring is really here. I do not see any buds on the tree, but what a great promise that spring is coming. When I moved to Manitoba, I have always said that we skipped spring, but had winter, break up, summer and fall. I moved from B.C., where spring starts sometimes in February.

But we get used to wherever the Lord leads us. He gives us strength to endure and I learned to admire the starry skies and the northern lights. Nature does not need to be taught how to rule. It has its own God-given assignment and we need to be thankful for each new leaf on the tree and even the little shoot of rhubarb that I noticed this morning. It is all God-given.

Thumbs up, thumbs down Thumbs up to Kate Jackman-Atkinson on her very perceptive “My Perspective” columns. Her research and comments provide us with valuable insight into a wide range of important topics.

Muriel Gamey Neepawa, MB Kudos to Tammie Hueston for raising her four nieces and nephews while working full time. Also, many thanks to Neepawa residents for donating furniture, food, household items, monetary to help her get started in new house.

Tammie appreciates and thanks and has a list of all donators. You all know who you are. Good for you.

Marg Loucks and Doreen Grieder Neepawa, MB I just wanted to give a thumbs up to my local Minnedosa Home Hardware.

On Saturday, I purchased a new washing machine at 12:30 and by 2:30, the old was out and the new one installed.

I was happy to support a local business as Cody and his team did a great job.

Gloria Kerluke Minnedosa, MB A huge bouquet to Gail Ridley and her helpers for organizing a successful Spring Tea Party, held on Apr. 7 at the Glenvilla Seniors Centre, which was very beautifully decorated.

The Glenella Seniors Club Glenella, MB Would you like to send a thumbs up or thumbs down to an individual or group in the community?

Please send it our way. Submissions must include a name and must be under 100 words. We want to hear from you!

1979: Shopping complex proposed in Neepawa

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Friday, April 20, 1909 A band of Highlanders created quite the commotion on the streets of Neepawa on Saturday [last] week as they marched up Mountain Avenue, giving the impression that they owned the town. They carried with them a badge of honor (so called) which had just been “lifted” from one of Neepawa’s business houses. At the head of the procession was an individual who made himself very conspicuous– one who is well known in the garden of old (Eden), a town noted for its curlers, and who carried the trophy. The object of this procession was the moistening of the wrinkled folds, caused by the tip across the water from the land there the saying goes, “There is nothing too good for the Irish.” This item may allay fears of an invasion. –Contributed.

100 years ago, Friday, April 18, 1919 A stor y comes from Russia via the subsidized news service accusing the Bolsheviki of massacring all the people of a village and district, numbering 2,000.

Peace negotiations are so near a conclusion that the German representatives have been invited to be at Versailles on April 25 to hear what they have to do.

Belgium declines to be a catspaw for the other nations in the prosecution of the kaiser. But Belgium demands that strict justice be meted out to the kaiser and his warlords.

Sir Henry Thornton suggests signs such as these at railway crossings: “Try our fast engines once.” “Why not commit suicide today?”

“One trial of our fast engines will be sufficient.”

Ukrainians prepare themselves for the big Easter holiday through seven weeks’ lent.

Bhave’s reaction so far has been to continue the work that won him the award: Tramping on foot from village to village, persuading Indians who have land to give a portion to those who have none.

Through an assistant, Bhave sent word to the Philippines Embassy in New Delhi that he couldn’t spare time to go to Manila to receive his award.

As an alternative, the embassy would like to present the award in New Delhi. But Bhave, busy in western India, hasn’t found time for that either.

The award isn’t the first item Bhave ignored in favour of carrying out his work without interruption. He has paid equally scant attention in the past to recurrent malaria, a stomach ulcer, and chronic dysentery.

McCreary’s Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival a treat for all

PHOTOS BY KIRA PATERSON

A beautiful day brought around 400 people to learn about the maple syrup process from tree to table. Volunteers, sponsored by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, ran the whole event, transporting festival goers to and from the sugar bush by horse and wagon (above left), showing them around the sugar bush and letting them taste the syrup (above centre), even giving them a tour of a sugar shack, where the sap gets boiled down to syrup in an industrial evaporator (above right).

Event helps keep kids rolling

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press

Riding a bike is an integral part of childhood and for the second year, area resident Malcolm Murray is making sure every kid who wants a bike, can have one. On Saturday, Apr. 27, starting at 10 am, he’ll be set up by the skate park and the Neepawa Salvation Army.

Most of the bikes are donated and Murray repairs, services and adjusts them so that they’re ready to go. “Same as last year, if you need a bike for your kid and money is tight, it’s yours, no questions asked. If you can afford $5 to $10 to help pay for the repair parts I put into these old rollers, great,” he said. He added that the bikes may have scratches and dings, but they are safe and solid. For him, the pay off is in smiles.

In addition to selling or giving away bikes, Murray said he’ll also swap bikes, if a child has outgrown theirs.

If anyone has a bike they’d like to donate, one they need fixed or would like one and can’t make it to the Apr. 27 meet up, they can contact Murray at 204-841-0203 to make arrangements.

Neepawa Elks honour long time club member

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Doreen Robertson’s commitment to the the Neepawa Elks was celebrated on Wednesday, Apr. 10, 2019.

Robertson (centre ) received her 50 year membership pin from Membership Chairperson Joan Kitson and Jim Schmall, exalted ruler, Neepawa Elks #398.

Doreen has spent 50 years between the now closed Royal Purple Lodge and the present Neepawa Elks Lodge and is still an active member.

The Neepawa Wildlife Association’s (NWA) Gun and Collectibles Show will be held on Saturday, May 4 at the Yellowhead Arena.

Thirty-five or more exhibitors are expected and they will feature a wide range of rifles, air pistols and knives.

The Gun Show will also offer a variety of fishing and camping equipment. Show coordinator Harris Lowe said in an interview with the Neepawa Banner & Press after last year’s show that the vast array of products offered by vendors has made the event very popular. “We were pleased with the numbers that came through the door. Right from the start

of the day [at 9:00 a.m.], it seems to have been consistently busy. That’s what we like to see and, obviously what the vendors like to see as well,” said Lowe. “Our region has a long history of people who enjoy hunting and fishing and that translates to a lot of interest in an event like this. I want this to be a little bit of everything, not just something for gun guys. You know you can bring the whole family down and there is a little bit of something for everyone.”

The 2019 show will run from 9-4 and food will be available on-site all day long.

level for 2019 and double the opportunity for 2020 and 2021,” Crewe added.

Because there hasn’t been a program like this in town before, it’s difficult to estimate what the uptake will be. “There’s too many variables to know how it’s actually going to unfold,” McCutcheon stated.

However, Crewe noted that they have a goal of using up all of their budget in the three years. “I would love to see that kind of uptake in this three year plan. By the end of it, we’ll say, ‘Look what we’ve seen accomplished,’ and lock it in for another three years,” she said, explaining that they could potentially run the three year program again after 2021, if the first three years are successful.

Application forms and eligibility guidelines are

available on the Town website, neepawa.ca, as well as at the Town office, located at 275 Hamilton Street.

The eligibility guidelines will help people to know whether or not their planned renovations could be covered by the program. Some eligible renovations include restoration of architectural o r h i s t o r i c f e at u re s, new windows or doors, improved signage, awnings, etc. Ineligible renovations include any maintenance or repairs that don’t affect the front of the building or improve the appearance of the store, among other exceptions. Anyone interested is encouraged to fill out an application and send it in to Crewe before they start their renovations; she is currently accepting applications for review.

New program to help Neepawa businesses get a facelift

By Kira Paterson

Neepawa Banner & Press

The Town of Neepawa has just announced that it will be investing in local businesses to help beautify the community. The Storefront Improvement Incentive Program (SIIP) was revealed at the Town’s f inancial plan meeting, held Tuesday, Apr. 16. SIIP will offer reimbursement to businesses in Neepawa who make any improvements to their storefront, to encourage local businesses to help contribute to beautifying the town.

“This is a brand new program for Neepawa,” noted Marilyn Crewe, economic development officer for the Town of Neepawa. “Of course, every community wants to improve what their downtown core looks like, certainly because they’re often dealing with aging buildings, but this program is available to any business in Neepawa,” she added.

Blake McCutcheon, Neepawa mayor, expressed that Neepawa Town Council is excited to share this new program with the community. “As a new council, I think this gives us a great opportunity to set the tone.

We are interested in supporting our businesses in any way we can and obviously, this is a great opportunity to show them that,” he said.

Crewe explained that to be eligible, the business must apply for the program before starting any improvements and once they finish the work, they could potentially be reimbursed 50 per cent of the cost of the project, up to $5,000, depending on the number of other applications and the budget that’s available. Currently, they have a budget of $50,000 over three years, which consists of $10,000 for 2019 and then $20,000 each for 2020 and 2021. “So there’s going to be timelines attached to projects, so that will help me divvy up budget, but the actual decisions about which businesses receive the budget will be done by [Recreation and Economic Development] Committee of Council,” Crewe said.

This program is not the first of its kind. Crewe admitted she got the idea from another community who had run a similar program quite successfully. “I actually stole it– with permission– from Dauphin,” she said.

“The economic development officer there shared the program; the application form is [based] off of their application form; and then I also talked to her about how things worked for her in Dauphin... They had a gradual uptake on the program, so that’s part of the reason why we’re ramping up the program with funding at one

Melvin (Mel) John Nicholson Melvin (Mel) John Nicholson passed away suddenly, at his home, on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 6, 2019.

Mel was born in Neepawa, Manitoba, on November 17, 1942, to John (Jack) and Dorothy Nicholson. He was 3rd eldest in a family of 7 siblings, who were lovingly raised on the family homestead just north of Neepawa. Mel is predeceased by his parents, Jack and Dorothy, his sister, Joan Yerex and brothers-in-law Daune Yerex and Ron Crooks.

Mel leaves to mourn his best friend and wife of 55 years, Janet, and his 3 children, Patrick (Deanna), Bruce (Geraldine) and Susan (Collin) Kaye. At the time of Mel’s death, he had 11 grandchildren; Candice, Adam (Katherine), Jaella-Rae (Josh), Christal, Scott, Christopher, Colin, Logan, Rosemitha, Nathan, Brayden, and 1 great-grandchild, Airianna. Mel is also survived by his siblings, Clifford (Eleanor), Bill (Lynda), Linda Crooks, Lois Hulme (Robin) and Fred (Nicole), numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Mel lived his entire life in Rosedale Municipality. He wouldn’t have had it any other way. He lived in Brandon for a few months in his early adulthood and ‘couldn’t wait to get back to the farm’. When he wasn’t farming with family, Mel took to the open road in his semi truck. In the 50 years that Mel was a professional truck driver, he travelled to many places in Canada and the United States. Anyone that knew Mel could guarantee that he’d have a story to share about his numerous experiences on the road and much laughter emanated when he regaled others with his entertaining stories.

His children fondly remember the semi trip holidays spent with their dad, as he wound his way through the Rocky Mountains, with Mom as his co-pilot. They sat listening and sharing all of their father’s wisdom and experiences from the perch in the bunk.

After retirement from trucking, Mel loved to putter in the farmyard and spend time travelling to visit children, grandchildren and siblings in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. He rarely ever missed a day with his coffee buddies. He and Janet spent countless hours touring the countryside, watching community farmers during the growing and harvest season.

A celebration of Mel’s life will be held on Saturday June 22, 2019 at 1:00pm at his family farm in Neepawa, MB. If so desired, donations can be made in Mel’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Obituary Denis Joseph Cadieux July 11, 1958 – April 6, 2019 On Saturday, April 6, 2019, Denis Cadieux unexpectedly passed away as the result of a motorcycle accident in Ottawa, Ontario. Denis was an avid motorcyclist and had been picking one of his bikes up from storage for the upcoming season of riding.

Denis was born in Gatineau on July 11, 1958 to Huguette Villeneuve and Fernand Cadieux. He had moved from Quebec to live in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Fredericton, New Brunswick and St.-Damien, Quebec, before settling for 26 years in Gladstone, Manitoba, where he worked as a Postmaster until his retirement.

After retirement, Denis moved to live with his sister and brother-in-law, Diane and John Kovar. He had recently started work as a building superintendent in a residential high-rise and enjoyed his new position.

Denis was a golfer, a fisherman, a carpenter and a craftsman. He was a loving father, brother, uncle and fast friend to many. He also loved attending family gatherings no matter what excuse was used to get together.

Denis will be deeply missed but not forgotten by his daughter Danielle, his son, Kyle, his sisters, Diane (John Kovar), Carole (late Richard Lalonde), his brothers, Robert (Ginette D’Aoust) and Guy, stepbrother Michel and his “adopted mother” Catherine Smith.

Denis’ family and friends will get together for a Celebration of his Life on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 1:30pm at the Barley Mow: 1481 Greenbank Rd, Nepean, ON K2J 4Y6. All are welcome.

In lieu of flowers, Denis’ family asks that donations be made to a charitable event that he enjoyed participating in, the TELUS Ride for Dad.

Thank You

Our team is extremely blessed and thankful for all the support we have received from our sponsors, small communities, businesses, family & friends.

This season, our team curled in the Brandon Curlettes, Neepawa Competitive League & a few of the MCT bonspiels. The season also included winning a spot to play in the Provincial Scotties in Gimli, MB. We also were successful in winning the Senior Ladies Provincials, which was held in Rivers, MB. What an honour to be “Team Manitoba” in Chilliwack, BC. We never take for granted how lucky we are to curl at this level. It is a dream come true for all of us and due to all our sponsors, communities, and families, we are able to have this opportunity.

To John Csversko, our coach, thanks for all your patience and time that you commit to our team. You are very appreciated on our team.

To the community of Arden for hosting such a memorable send off, to everyone that attended, donated money, raffle items, and just being there to support our team. We thank our local curling clubs - Arden, Neepawa and Plumas - these curling clubs and communities are our roots and we are very proud of where we curl and come from.

The support that we received at the Nationals in Chilliwack, BC and since arriving home has been unbelievable – the calls, texts, visits and messages from everyone have been heartwarming and we appreciate each and every gesture.

To the businesses that continue to support our team we thank you so much for believing in us.

Local nominees for YWCA awards

By John Drinkwater Neepawa Banner & Press

Two local women from within the Banner’s coverage area have been nominated for the 2019 YWCA Women of Distinction Awards. They are: Camryn McMillan of Carberry, MB and Dr. Marie North of Austin, MB. McMillan, nominated in the Youth (1621) category, was born on Mar. 21, 2000 in Brandon and graduated as a gifted student from Carberry Collegiate in 2018. McMillan was a top academic student in seven different Grade 12 subjects, was awarded female athlete of the year and received the Governor General’s Award.

McMillan received the honour of direct entry into the male-dominated University of Manitoba Engineering program and was one of only five engineering students selected to attend the national conference in Montreal in January 2019. Her future plans include Biosystems and Biomedical Engineering.

North, nominated for the Social Action and Community Service category, was born and raised in Elie, MB. A farm girl sur-

rounded by cattle, cats and dogs, her love of animals was easily nurtured. North’s original passion was for a large animal veterinary practice, however, once out pursuing her career, she soon realized her calling was with companion animals.

Dr. North has worked hard to make her dreams come true; a family of her own with husband Arthur and four children, she’s volunteered with Veterinarians Without Borders in South Africa and built her own successful practice, the Carberry Small Animal Clinic.

Earlier this year, North was named Veterinarian of the Year by the Manitoba Veterinary Technologist Association.

The 32nd YWCA Women of Distinctions Awards Gala takes place on Thursday, May 2 at MNP Hall, Keystone Centre, Brandon.

Did you know? Standing water When tending to their lawns, homeowners are advised to pay attention to areas that may feature standing water. According to the World Health Organization, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can breed in great numbers in pools of water. Standing water also can be a haven for bacteria, mould and parasites that are

dangerous to human health. If standing, stagnant water is a problem in your yard, remediation is necessary. Directing downspouts away from the house can remediate standing water. Changing the grading of soil so that low spots are elevated is another way to reduce instances of standing water.
