D-Day has local connections

By K. Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press

On June 6, 1944, nearly 150,000 Allied troops invaded Western Europe along an 80 km stretch of Normandy coast line. The goal was to end the four years of German occupation that became known as World War II. Officially code named Operation Neptune, though most know it as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

This ambitious military u nder t a k i ng i nvolved 14,000 Canadian soldiers, who took part in the beachfront landing and parachuted into occupied France, just east of the beaches.

Canadians weren’t just on the beaches during D-Day and the subsequent campaign, they were also in the sky, where 15 R.C.A.F. fighter and fighter-bomber squadrons attacked enemy targets and worked to gain control of the skies.

Local connections On D-Day, Canadian casualties numbered 1,074, with 359 deaths reported.

Of those, six Neepawa area soldiers died as a result of the invasion and one was wounded.

Lance Corporal Tom Birch, of Franklin (25), and Rifleman Andrew Mutch (24), of Neepawa, were part of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. Both were killed on June 6 during the Juno Beach landing.

Cpl. Robert Stevenson (25), of Franklin, was a member of the Fort Gary Horse division, which was a tank regiment during World War II. He was killed on June 6 during the landings.

L a n c e C p l . Fr a n k Meakin (20) and his brother, Cpl. George Meakin (23) were also members of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles.

They, along with Rifleman Robert Mutch (21) were

captured by German forces on June 8. While being held as unarmed prisoners, they were questioned by the 12SS Reconnaissance Division. Following the interrogation, the 25 prisoners were marched into small groups and shot.

All three had enlisted from their home in Birnie.

These six men are buried in Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery, located just south of where the landings took place. It is in this cemetery that the Canadians who gave their lives in the landings in Normandy and the earlier stages of the subsequent campaign are buried.

While these six men didn’t return home, one Neepawa-area soldier was wounded, but not killed during the invasion. While taking part in the landings, Ralph (Kelly) Kilburn, a member of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, was wounded when a piece of shrapnel hit his helmet. His helmet can be seen in the Beautiful Plains Museum, in Neepawa, as part of the military collection. He had a camera f lash under his helmet, which helped protect him from the shrapnel.

D-Day was the beginning of the end of World War II, but peace didn’t come quickly. Allied forces would spend the next 11 months pushing the Germans back, until May 8, 1945, when the war in Europe was officially ended by Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces.

Camp Day is on its way!

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

On Wednesday, June 5, your daily caffeine fix will support a very good cause, as Tim Hortons will be holding its annual Camp Day. The event has become a tradition for the business, with 100 per cent of proceeds from every coffee purchased at participating franchises on that day going towards the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

Neepawa Tim Hortons manager, Lilieth Bowen, said that the program is meant to give children, between the ages of 12 and 16, who may not be able to afford camp, a place to have fun, while building a sense of self-esteem and trying new things. Bowen added that they’re very proud to be a part of this important national effort, which will have a local impact.

“What’s great about this is that they try to select a kid from each participating community, so the donations are

helping young people close to home,” noted Bowen.

Leading up to the day, the local restaurants are also selling Camp Day bracelets for $2. As well, Bowen indicated that if customers so wish, they can round up their coffee purchase with those cents going towards the program.

“Take for instance, if a customer buys a coffee for $1.95. If they want to round up the five cents, we appreciate it. Or if they buy an extra large [coffee] for $2.40, they could round up with the 60 cents, we’re so grateful for the assistance,” Bowen said. “That’s on from now until Camp Day on June 5. It will be set up in the till for you to do that and it’ll go to the program. It might be just a few cents here and there, but it does all add up. Every penny counts.”

In 2018, Tim Hortons, with the support of its customers, was able to raise over $13 million nationally, making it one of the most successful Camp Days in the initiative’s more than 25 year history.

“I am not for quotation or attribution”

Tundra

by Chad Carpenter

I

Sing a new song!

I

heard a great new song last weekend, new to me and it’s a relatively new song, written by Chris Tomlin. It speaks of hope and promise for any people in any location. I can’t think of a more appropriate message for us today, in Canada, in Manitoba and in this area particularly. We have great potential, but in spite of all the potential we are faced with, there is a condition and it is expressed clearly in this song.

It’s written in modern words, by a present writer.

“You’re the God of this city You’re the King of these people You’re the Lord of this nation You are You’re the light in this darkness You’re the hope to the hopeless You’re the peace to the restless You are There is no one like our God There is no one like our God For greater things have yet to come And greater things are still to be done in this city Greater things have yet to come And greater things are still to be done in this city.”

So no matter if you live in a city, a town, village or on a farm, the words apply to you and yours, your family and your assets.

We can all tell stories of our forefathers who turned to God. We have all heard many more.

The old songs, or hymns, of the Christian church were full of similar admonitions of the need to turn to God. Hymns such as “Turn your eyes upon Jesus” and “Faith of our Fathers” or “God our help in ages past” may or may not be familiar to people of today.

The fascinating message about God in this modern city song is neepawa

I fervently believe that our communities will move into the future with the assets we have at hand.

that it is not old, not from centuries past, but from today. And it was sung by two young people at a Neepawa evening of music, worship and teaching. Young people who have the skill and the courage to get up and sing and teach in a way that is fresh and wonderful.

I am willing to bet that every community has some young people who are willing to sing out and teach in a fresh, new way. Be sure to encourage them when you find them.

I fervently believe that our communities will move into the future with the assets we have at hand.

Some will succeed, to a certain extent, by means of human effort alone. However, if we follow the advice of the song above, our efforts will be hugely multiplied under the blessing of God. We are completely at liberty to deny that God exists or perhaps give the odd nodding ascent to God. We are much better off, and will be much better off, as individuals and communities

”

when we recognize that greater things are yet to come when we acknowledge that God is the the light in this darkness, the hope to the hopeless, the peace to the restless.

So how do we fit into this picture? Millions have followed this advice from Paul, a man who wrote a big chunk of the Bible.

He said in the Book of Acts 20:24.

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”

The song and this quote place us in a good place to face an unknown future.

f you work in media, you’ve heard this phrase. Maybe a lot.

In fact, you’ve probably heard it almost every time you’ve contacted media relations, at the provincial government at least. It is this phrase that translates into the commonly referenced “A department official” or “A government spokesperson”.

Newspapers work hard to MY inform readers PERSPECTIVE about the stories that will impact their lives, but we don’t always do a good job Kate informing our Jackman-Atkinson readers about what exactly we do in reporting those stories. At a time when citizens are eager for news they can trust, ensuring readers know just who is being quoted is extremely important. We, the media, are being hamstrung at the highest levels.

I find the problem especially bad at the provincial government level, which might just reflect the fact that I don’t cover many stories about the federal government. Our elected representatives are always good to talk to and at a municipal level, you can always find someone who will explain a policy, procedure, background or decision.

That isn’t the case with the Province. There, in almost all situations, people within departments will send you to Media Relations— the nameless abyss. In the rare situations where they don’t, perhaps, because they’re speaking at a public meeting or forum, they will often ask to not be quoted by name. There are a few exceptions, for example, those in the Agriculture department are usually helpful, perhaps because much of their job actually involves sharing and disseminating information.

This shift doesn’t help anyone. If I’m writing about a change in policy, I usually can’t talk to the person who developed it in order to understand the implications. I have to talk to Media Relations. They then find the answers to my questions and relay them back to me. I have found the conversations at the end of interviews often yield the most interesting information and we lose this opportunity. Not only is the story one step removed from the source, but I have no idea who the answers came from and while I know the name of the person I talked to in Media Relations, I can’t relay that to my readers.

In almost all cases, we are just looking for information. I wouldn’t expect a public servant within a department to comment about contentious issues, but I would appreciate their insight into the issues and projects that they have developed or been involved in.

I would like more information, not less.

At a time when news outlets are working hard to be transparent in our reporting and give readers news stories that they can assess, not having quotes attributed to names is problematic. A recent Columbia Journalism Review survey found that 41 per cent of respondents were less likely to believe a story with anonymous sources. This isn’t quite the same as unnamed sources, but it’s a distinction lost on most readers. Without names, we deprive our readers of the ability to assess the story themselves, because they don’t know our sources. We are asking our readers to trust us and they really shouldn’t have to.

I understand the need for a media relations department, but when did government become so scared of people talking to anyone outside of that department? Or was it just a case of governments being lazy and no one pushing back? At a time when we share more and more of ourselves with the world, surely we can get a few mundane details directly from a named person within a government department.

Healing a fractured society, part three Observation

L

ast week’s column ended on an optimistic note. Along with the assurance that healing for our fractured society is possible, the column stated that those who can lead us in the healing process are those who are filled with genuine love and allow that love to flow through them to help others find hope and healing.

Now comes the challenge. Where will we find these people?

Well, there is one place where we should be quite certain of finding them and that is in the world of organized religion— specif ically within the Christian church. After all, those who claim to believe in a God of love and who regularly attend houses of worship in which they are learning how to show God’s love to others should be the first ones who can help us create a more loving and caring world—right? Not necessarily.

I have spent many hours studying history. And I have not been impressed

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein by what I’ve read of the relationship between the church and the society in which its people are called to live and work. They haven’t always got along; and I doubt they ever will.

But what troubles me more is how unlov ing church people can be at times. Politics and power struggles are as prevalent in the church as they are in secular society. The conf licts can become so intense at times that several members of one congregation will leave. Some will join another congregation.

Others will try to form one of their own.

Now, I’m not about to pass judgment on these people. They are God’s children and they will answer to God for their actions and attitudes, just as I will answer for mine.

My problem is this—

how can we claim to believe in a loving God, how can we say we are filled with that love and how can that love flow through us to help heal our fractured society when we spend our days fighting with each other over whose interpretation of the Bible is the right one and whose beliefs should be followed by the rest of society?

Every minute we spend debating minute theological points or arguing politics keeps us from doing what Christ, the head of the church, has asked us to do—Love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbour as ourself.

If professing Christians would focus on doing these two things and doing them well, we could change the world in a very short time; whether or not we received

help from government.

This is a federal election year in Canada. In the weeks leading up to election day, we will hear political candidates identify those who they believe deserve a better deal from government and call on Canadians to reach out to these and others like them in love and compassion and take significant steps to meet these needs.

Canad ians are ful ly justified in demanding one thing of those who seek our support: “Stop telling us what we need to do! Show us how to do it! Show us—if you know!”

Most of them won’t be able to. But some among us can, because they are already doing it. Look for those who love God, who consistently live by the teachings of Scripture and who genuinely love and care for others. Find them, follow their lead, and you will become part of a growing group of ordinary people who will help heal our fractured society by the irresistible power of unconditional love.

Random thoughts and quotes

“You desire to know the art of living, my friend? Make use of suffering.”

–Henri F Amiel- Swiss moral philosopher, poet and critic There is the rare one of us who would seek suffering.

And yet, there is a rare one of us who is able to avoid suffering. Strange. The positive emotions are sought after, at times to extreme measures. Happy, joyous, contentment and more than enough, are thought to be living. And here we are challenged to embrace suffering.

This is no sit down and feel sorry for oneself, no pity party for one. It is an acceptance of the whole range of emotions, the good and the bad. That’s where much of our thinking is off base. Sad, lonely, anxious and depressed are not bad emotions. They are uncomfortable. They are often hidden, kept in secret and as much as possible, kept at bay. Studies are finding that

HOMEBODIES

Rita Friesen many addictions are masks for pain and suffering. That makes sense to me. Numb the pain, obliterate the suffering. If not acknowledged and understood, hurts and suffering don’t go away, they cripple.

Think about a dark time.

The loss of a loved one, the loss of a dream. Sitting in sadness and silence for a time is normal and can be productive. This is where the analogy of a seed confined to the darkness of the soil before breaking forth in life fits for me. Another possible comparison could be the compost bin. It is dregs and refuse that is placed in the dark, and after a rank time, comes forth as soil, fit for sustaining growth

and life. A broken bone is encompassed, immobile, in a dark cast, and it heals.

Would be wonderful if the process was simple and easy.

It isn’t. We fight against such darkness. How much better if we could simply sit. Feel the sorrow, acknowledge its place in our life. Grow in the darkness. Live.

“To belittle is to be little.”

–Anonymous I read that one more than once before I grasped the significance of that simple sentence. It has to do with accepting another as they are, rejoicing if they succeed, sharing sadness when they fail. By exalting ourselves we diminish others. My victory this

day may exceed my view of yours on this day. How vain and fickle. The effort required for your success may outstrip mine because of my heritage, culture, education or gender. Victories can not be measured.

Neither can defeats. When I belittle your loss, or you mine, again, there is no regulation measuring stick.

What is your measure of a big person? For me it is one with integrity, honesty, charity, kindness and I do appreciate a sense of humour! Any one person possessing such gifts would never belittle another, never stoop to diminish another to appear taller.

Random thoughts on a wondrous spring evening.

I walked the dogs, watched the sunset, chatted with a friend and counted my blessings. Among these joys ran/runs an undercurrent of sorrow and sadness. Both honest emotions, both a part of living.

By Addy Oberlin oday, I feel sad and the cloudy sky outside, caused by smoke from the wildfires in northern Alberta, is not helping.

I did not lose anybody through death, but a friend underwent surgery and lost both legs under the knee.

She had sores that would not heal and gangrene set in.

Within a few days she was in surgery. Her children came home to be at her side. Her husband is devastated and feels guilty. Could he not have done something to prevent this? People are praying.

Sometimes we lose a piece of our body because of sickness or disease, but we can still function as normal as possible. However, losing both legs and being elderly is a very heavy sentence.

Are we aware what some of our friends are going through? They do not always want to share it, but we can see it sometimes on their face.

God gave us a new law in the New Testament where it says: “Love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and your neighbour (friend) as yourself,” (Matthew 22:37,39).

Let’s show our love in word and deed this week.

Something to think about

For anyone whom has read the article in the weekend Winnipeg Free Press, the section on destinations dated April 28.

The author went to the capital city of Rwanda and could not believe his eyes. He was staying there on his way to see mountain gorillas.

The thing that was amazing was the fact that there was no litter, no plastic bags blowing around as they were banned in 2008.

This to me shows that the people who live there take pride in their city, more than I can say for the people of a country as rich as Canada.

All of the people who live in Canada could take a lesson from this, from our smallest town to our largest city.

As I live in Neepawa, I will start there. I see no reason to have flyers floating around our streets. If you don’t want the flyers that are in the paper, at least take them home and recycle them.

Also, why do we have to have takeout coffee cups flying around? Are you too lazy to put them into the garbage or at least take them home?

As you drive along our highways, why do you have to see fast food bags lying beside the road or plastic bags lying in farmers fields, is it ignorance or laziness?

Litter is pollution, we are trying to fight pollution, think before you toss.

In ending my thought is the Town of Neepawa should ban plastic bags the same as has happened in larger places.

Something to think about, council.

HMK receives grant for music class

South Africa

The Republic of South Africa is the southernmost country on the African continent and shares borders with four other countries. South Africa encloses two landlocked African countries, which are Swaziland and Lesotho. South Africa has wetlands, deserts, bush, grasslands, mountains, escarpments and subtropical forests. With 11 official languages, South Africa has the most official languages in the world. They have record-breaking animals as well. You can find the largest bird, the ostrich, the largest fish, the whale shark, the tallest animal, the giraffe, the largest land mammal, the elephant, and the fastest land mammal, the cheetah! It also has the only place in the world that grows Rooibos tea. Abundant with natural resources, their largest exports are diamonds, gold, platinum, iron ore, uranium and copper, as well table grapes, wine, citrus fruits and nuts.

The first Europeans to come to South Africa were the Portuguese in 1488. In 1652, the Dutch East India Company established the Dutch Cape Colony. It was initially meant to be a small port town for ships traveling to India. In 1902, following the defeat of the Boers in the Anglo-Boer war, the Union of South Africa was created as a dominion of the British Empire. They established laws that separated whites from black South Africans, with the whites ruling the land. This practice of segregation, called apartheid, led to decades of conflict. In 1961, South Africa became an independent nation, the consequence of a 1960 referendum. Nelson Mandela was a leader of the African National Congress who pushed for the equal treatment of black South Africans. He spent 27 years in prison while fighting for equal rights. In 1994, apartheid was abolished and black people were allowed to vote.

South African cuisine is very diverse and is famous for meat of every shape and description. Pots may contain beef, pork, chicken, lamb, deer, antelope, zebra, giraffe, ostrich, warthog, wildebeest, Oryx or crocodile, to name a few. South Africans love a barbeque (called “braai”) and almost every house has a fireplace, which is called “braai-place.” For an afternoon snack, you can try the street vendors’ crispy Walkie Talkies. They are grilled or deep fried chicken heads and feet, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Chakalaka and pap are mainstays on every South African dinner table.

Chakalaka is a vegetable dish made of onions, tomatoes, peppers, beans and spices, and is often served cold. Pap, corn porridge, is made from white corn maize. Chakalaka and pap are most often served together.

Spicy, tangy Chakalaka can be served hot or cold, over mealie pap or as a condiment for grilled meats.

Chakalaka 3 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 can baked beans in 1 onion, chopped or less tomato sauce 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. paprika salt and pepper to taste 2 red or yellow peppers 3 tomatoes, peeled and 1 Tbsp. curry powder chopped Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bell peppers, curry, cayenne and paprika. Sauté, stirring frequently for about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the pot. Add the beans and salt and pepper to taste. Serve either hot or cold.

Malva Pudding is a sweet dessert of Cape Dutch origin with a caramelized exterior and spongy interior soaked in tasty warm sauce.

Malva Pudding Cake: 1-2 teaspoon grated Sauce: 2/3 cup sugar orange zest 1 cup cream or 2 eggs 1 cup flour evaporated milk 1 Tbsp. butter, room 1 tsp. baking soda 3/4 cup brown sugar temperature 1/2 tsp. salt 8 Tbsp. butter 4 Tbsp. Apricot jam 1 tsp. vinegar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 3/4 cup milk In a bowl, beat sugar and eggs. Add butter, apricot jam and orange zest until light and fluffy. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the vinegar to milk, then add to the eggs mixture. Mix the flour into the egg mixture. Pour batter into a greased 9” square cake pan. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes in the oven or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. While the malva cake is baking, mix all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a boil, stir until sugar is dissolved then remove from heat. When cake is baked, poke holes in the cake all the way to the bottom of the cake. Pour the sauce on the cake. Serve immediately or set aside in the fridge until ready to use. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Mr. Joye’s grade 5 kids (pictured) are just some of the students who get to enjoy the new musical instruments in music class at Hazel M Kellington School in Neepawa. HMK was able to buy the 41 instruments through a $12,000 grant from the MusiCounts program.

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press Hazel M Kellington School (HMK) in Neepawa was selected as one of 96 schools across Canada to receive a grant for new instruments in their music program. MusiCounts, a Canadian charity supporting music education, donated $1 million to schools across the country in 2019, including seven in Manitoba. HMK was one of the lucky recipients.

Angie Weisgerber, the school’s full-time music teacher, said that receiving the grant was “huge to our school. It was very exciting.”

She noted that every year, MusiCounts sends out an email to schools in Canada, encouraging them to apply for the grant. HMK had ap-

plied three times prior to this year, with no success, but Weisberger said she figured they might as well try again.

When the recipients were announced in February, she said they were shocked to find out HMK was chosen.

The $12,000 grant has been used to buy six new bar instruments (xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels, etc.) for the music classroom, as well as 23 ukuleles and 12 African tubano drums. HMK has music classes starting in Kindergarten and going right through to Grade 5. Kids are introduced to music theory and start to learn basic instruments, right from the earliest years.

There are now enough instruments for each student in a class. The students will have more opportunity to play during class time, as there used to be more students than instruments.

This is the first time HMK has had ukuleles.

In fact, Weisgerber said it’s the first time the school has ever been able to offer string instruments. “The neat thing about ukuleles is the students can learn at their own pace,” she noted. The Grade 5 students started learning the ukulele just after spring break, with the help of Shelby Nohr, a student teacher who has been playing ukulele for years.

‘An amazing experience’

Jenna Heschuk awarded two top-three spots in bodybuilding competition

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press There was a local star in the Van Dijk Classic Bodybuilding Competition this year. Jenna Heschuk competed in the bikini category of the competition in Winnipeg on May 26, and has since returned to Neepawa. Heschuk’s efforts paid off, winning second place in the novice class.

Heschuk also won by default for her height class in the open (Bikini E). She has been weightlifting as a bodybuilder for roughly four years, but hadn’t competed in a competition until now.

“I wanted to do something that was going to push me a little bit further, to have a new challenge,” Heschuk elaborated. “When I moved to Winnipeg [for schooling],

I got more knowledge about the sport of bodybuilding competitively and that opened some doors for me.”

Heschuk’s preparation period for the competition was 20 weeks long, starting on Jan. 5. During that time, she said she followed a “very restrictive diet and very restrictive training program.”

“Basically, I [couldn’t] eat anything that [wasn’t] on my dieting program,” she explained.

Sharing her thoughts on the competition experience itself, Heschuk noted in closing, “I had such a great experience; I definitely will be hitting the stage again in the future!”

1969: Neepawa Health Unit to officially open

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Friday, May 28, 1909 Scientists now tell us this earth is 240,000,000 years old.

A Negro porter was arrested in Montreal on a charge of stealing a pocketbook. The charge was not proven and the porter took action against the New York manufacturer who caused his arrest. The New York judge gave judgement in favor of the porter, but reduced the damages asked from $2,500 to $300 on the grounds that, because the porter was a Negro, he could not feel so much humiliation as he would if he were white.

100 years ago, Friday, May 30, 1919 Neepawa soldiers now en route home are: W. Anderson, O. Guy, C. W. Keighley, L. B. Dunsmore.

Neepawa board of trade has approved the proposal for a municipal rink.

The expected soldiers have all arrived this week.

Also Pte. Wm. McLean, a nephew of Mayor McKay, who enlisted at Montreal, but intends to reside here.

The strike situation locally took a more serious turn on Tuesday night when all shop men at the C.N.R. roundhouse went out in sympathy with the telephone girls. The strikers include the coal dock men: so that when the dock is emptied there will be no more chance for supplying engines except by employing non-union men. And that chance is not promising.

90 years ago, Friday, May 31, 1929 The radio ear, tested out in a school for the deaf at Canton, Ohio, enabled 20 children to hear their own voices and other voices for the first time in their lives.

Within half an hour several of the children were able to speak simple words, the first intelligible sounds they had ever uttered.

Liberals in the Canadian Commons took a strong stand against assisted immigration.

80 years ago, Tuesday, May 30, 1939 Seventeen beer parlor licenses were suspended in Winnipeg, St. Boniface and

Norwood this week because they allowed women to drink beer on their premises during the royal visit.

It has been off icially announced that the Spanish Nationalists’ specially constituted councils of war and tribunal had sent 688 persons before firing squads since the fall of Madrid March 28.

Fritz Kuhn, leader of the pro-Nazi German American Bund has been charged in New York for grand larceny and forgery.

His indictment contains 12 counts based on alleged theft of $14,589.50.

It is reported that two attempts have been made within the last month to assassinate Mussolini. A would-be assassin confessed that a few hundred had taken an oath to kill the dictator but he would not divulge their names.

70 years ago, Thursday, June, 1949 It is your duty as a Canadian to vote and to vote as you please, but vote.

60 years ago, Tuesday, May 26, 1959 Eight dragoons, including five from Neepawa, received certif icates of military qualification as sergeants following NCO training this past winter during the annual inspection of the 12th Manitoba Dragoons in Neepawa Sunday…

Those qualifying as sergeants were M. M. Asplin, R. N. Cameron, O. H. George, L. M. Partaker and W. Sangster of Neepawa; and D. L. Berry, D. G. Black and W. Brown of Virden.

G. H. Brereton of Virden also qualified, but was not present to receive his award.

50 years ago, Thursday, May 29, 1969 The official opening of the recently constructed Neepawa Health Unit Building will take place on at 2:00 p.m. Representatives of local, provincial and federal governments will be present, according to the report made by Lloyd Briese, Chairman of the Health Unit Advisory Board.

T he bu i ld i ng, constructed by the Neepawa & District Hospital Board, has made available excellent working facilities for the staff of seven public health nurses, two public health inspectors, a health educator and one stenographer

Neepawa’s Health Unit, as it appeared in 1969.

under the direction of Dr. K. I. Johnson, the Medical Director. This staff covers an area of 3,000 square miles to serve 30,000 people.

Jim Young, chairman of the Hospital Board and Lloyd Briese, chairman of the Health Unit Advisory Board, extend a cordial invitation to all the people of this area to be present to trace the progress made in provision of health services in our community.

The emotional coming together was prompted by their niece, Mrs. Phyllis Smith, who flew to Canada last year and persuaded her uncle Frank to make the trip down memory lane and relive those days when he and his brothers used to play in the Western Road Stables.

Mr. Wareham was accompanied by his daughter, Doreen, granddaughter, Cheryl, son Arthur and daughter-in-law, Dorothy.

40 years ago, Thursday, May 31, 1979 A remarkable reunion took place May 8, in England, when two St. Leonards-born brothers, Bill and Frank Wareham (both in mid 90s) were reunited after 76 years apart.

“We just stood and shook hands– We couldn’t let go,” said a delighted Bill. “I felt on top of the world.”

“It’s grand to see Bill again and wonderful to be back in Hastings,” Frank said on arrival. “We’ll be able to reminisce all the silly things we did together as boys.”

The parting of the ways for the Wareham brothers was March 1903. Inspired by a music hall song– “I want to sail away…” in our colonies “mean to try.”

Frank emigrated to Canada to seek his fortune and fame as a farmer. Although they corresponded regularly, and Bill sent copies of the Observer, their paths never crossed again– not even during the first World War when they both fought in France in different regiments…

“We’re very very glad they’re putting the ramps and sidewalks in,” said Harold Macdonald. “It will be a tremendous help because it will take not only wheelchairs but pedestrians off the main highway.

The ramps and new sidewalk mean if you’re handicapped you’re made just a little more independent.”

Two blocks of sidewalk on the north side of Main St. to

Neepawa sends ‘wish list’ to Water Services Board

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The Town of Neepawa has assembled its water and sewer wish list for the future. On Tuesday, May 21, council and administration discussed a recent request from the Manitoba Water Services Board asking all municipalities to identify and prioritize their water and sewer projects for the next five years. These pro-

jects are then reviewed by the Board and then prioritized. The most significant and pressing requests could receive technical and financial assistance. The Town has decided that its local priorities are the following: • The Water Treatment Plant reservoir.

• Water Tower maintenance and upgrades • Water and sewer infrastructure with the former CN property.

• Sewer infrastructure on Commerce Street west.

• Highway 16 Main St. west water and sewer upgrades to support the functional design of Manitoba Infrastructure.

Manitoba Water Services Board has supported several Neepawa based projects in the past, including phase one of the wastewater lagoon upgrades and the north end water and reservoir upgrades.

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Under normal circumstances, having barely two months of prep time for a significant event such as the MJHL Bantam Draft would be a real cause for concern for a new head coach/general manager.

Fortunately for the Neepawa Natives, this isn’t Ken Pearson’s first foray into the chaos that is a players’ draft.

Pearson, along with new assistant GM and head scout Craig Anderson and the rest of the scouting staff, have been quite busy this spring getting ready for the annual event, which is set for Sunday, June 9 in Winnipeg. For this year, Neepawa will have the first pick, due to finishing last in the league in the 2018-2019 season. In total, 66 eligible players, born in the year 2004, will be chosen over the course of six rounds.

Though Pearson is still settling into his new position in Neepawa, his prior experience with the Winkler Flyers should prove to be extremely beneficial.

“The neat thing about this situation is that myself and Craig [Anderson], who will head up the draft, have worked together for eight years. We were preparing this year for Winkler for the draft, so a lot of our research into players easily translates over,” noted Pearson. “On top of that, Byron Billett and the rest of the scouting staff here have been watching players all year, as well.

They’ll have input too. And we’ve brought in a couple of other guys who have watched bantam hockey

advice for a healthier lifestyle

Metatarsalgia: symptoms, causes and treatment usually occur with vigorous exercise involving high impact sports and is of gradual onset. Other symptoms can include burning pain in the joints and the feeling of a stone under the skin at the metatarsal joints affected.

By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor

Metatarsalgia is the condition where the metatarsal joints, located at the ball of the foot, get inflamed and irritated due to excess force placed upon them. This force can be due to trauma or from repetitive stress on the area. It is a common foot pain presentation, especially as we break out the flip flops for summer.

The condition can often be very aggravating and limit people from walking or exercising. There are many simple things you can do to help your feet feel better.

Causes Metatarsalgia can be contributed to a number of causes including: • Overuse injuries- The metatarsal arch is involved in shock absorption when walking and running.

Therefore, when excess repetitive force is placed on the arch, the metatarsal joints get irritated and inflamed. This can occur when people take up running and progress too fast in their training and overuse the area. In excessive cases, a compression fracture can occur in one of the metatarsal bones, causing a sharp, deep pain in the metatarsal area.

• Improper footwearhigh heel shoes or poorly fitting shoes can place excess weight onto the metatarsal

Symptoms The metatarsal joints are located at the balls of the feet were the toes meet the main body of the foot.

These joints are formed in a way so that there is an arch transverse across your forefoot. The pain will be located in the metatarsal joint, with the second metatarsal being the most common to be aggravated. Symptoms

joints. High heel shoes with a pointy end can compress the forefoot and also be a cause of pain.

• Genetic predisposition- People with high, rigid arches tend to have a higher chance of getting metatarsal pain. The foot is more rigid and the foot has a harder time rolling over to the first toe for push off and therefore the metatarsal area takes most of the force.

Often over time, people with high arches tend to get hammer toes which also contribute to the problem.

People with a Morton’s toe, a shorter first toe, are more susceptible to metatarsalgia because the metatarsal area takes the majority of the force for push off.

• The aging foot- As we get older, the thick fat pad on the bottom of our foot starts to thin. Mileage and natural tissue changes can cause a decrease in our shock absorbing pad over the metatarsal bones.

Arthritis and inflammatory arthritis can also cause joint irritation in the foot.

Treatment Treatment for metatarsalgia is usually very successful. The first step is to get a thorough foot examination to determine if there is a structural cause for your pain. This would include: a fallen transverse arch, a Morton’s toe, a hammer toe, or loss of the fat pad.

An evaluation of your gait and your callus pattern on your foot can also be helpful to determine if the cause is of mechanical nature.

We have a force plate at the Neepawa Chiropractic Centre that can measure your foot in dynamic motion and determine the amount of force that is being distributed across the foot.

The second step is to take a look at your footwear. Stop wearing flip flops and high heal shoes and change to a shoe with fore foot padding.

Therapeutic treatments can include: massage, manipulation/mobilization of the toes and metatarsal joints, ultrasound, and ice or heat therapies. General foot exercises like, pulling a towel

under your foot with your toes, picking up a marble with your toes, or general foot stretches can also help.

There are a number of items you can add to the shoe to help support the metatarsal arch or correct improper foot motion. The most common used for metatarsalgia is the metatararsal pad. This should be placed in a position on the insole of the shoe, so that the pad lies behind the balls of the feet, not directly on them. If you have a loss in

the fat pad across the metatarsal area, a metatarsal bar pad is appropriate and can be placed in a position on the insole of the shoe, so that the pad lies directly under the balls of the feet.

Orthotic insoles are also often used to help correct improper gait.

Activity fact: An ideal amount of steps in a day for the average person is 10,000. However, the average American only achieves 3,000 steps a day. Get up and get active!

Continued from Page 12 One of the most storied franchises in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) is changing its look ahead of the 2019-2020 regular season. The Winnipeg Blues recently revealed its jerseys which feature a new logo and colours, along with the team’s new wordmarks.

“As an organization, we are extremely excited about the fresh new look for the Winnipeg Blues,” explained general manager Taras McEwen.

The dark jerseys will be all black and will feature the new logo along with grey, yellow and blue stripes on the arms and yellow and blue stripes at the bottom of the jersey. The dark Winnipeg ICE logo will be located on both shoulders.

The light jerseys will be all white and will feature the new logo with black, yellow and blue stripes along the waist and arms. The white

The Winnipeg Blues will adopt a style similar to the Winnipeg ICE of the WHL in the upcoming MJHL season.

Winnipeg ICE logo will be located on both shoulders.

Looking good Waywayseecappo The unveiling of the Winnipeg Blues’ new sweaters created a little bit of online debate over which MJHL team has the best overall look. The social media site Hockey Night in Manitoba, which promotes junior and midget hockey across the

province presented a poll asking fans which team had the best uniform and logo in the league. In total, 1,096 votes were tabulated, with the Waywayseecappo Wolverines receiving the most support. The Portage Terriers finished second, while Virden was third. The rest of the league in descending order of popularity was as follows: Selkirk, Swan Valley, Winnipeg, Steinbach,

OCN, Winkler, Dauphin and Neepawa.

MusiCounts for HMK students

Continued from page 6 With only four weeks of playing, they’d already learned five chords on the instrument.

“I look forward to music [class], because the ukuleles are so much fun to learn and play,” said Emma, one of the Grade 5 students at HMK. Weisgerber added that all the students were very excited to start learning a new instrument. She plans to start teaching the Grade 3 and 4 classes the ukulele as well, since the Grade 5 classes will be moving to the middle school next year.

To apply for this grant, Weisgerber had to do quite a bit of background work. First, she needed to do some research on the cost of the instruments, so she knew what amount of money to ask for.

The application also required letters of support from several people. She was able to get letters from parents, teachers and from the Beautiful Plains School Division office. “It was nice to get feedback about the importance of music education and that we’re still trying to keep it alive,” she said of the letters she received.

MusiCounts is a charitable organization that offers funds to schools and community programs in order to make music education accessible to all youth. It began in 1997, with the Band Aid program, offering grants to schools to buy instruments, which is what HMK’s grant this year came from. It has evolved since then, offering awards and scholarships, as well as the TD Community Music Program, which is much like Band Aid, but for community music programs instead of just in schools. Weisgerber noted that the community program is something ArtsForward is now looking into. She also said she hopes the new middle school will consider applying for Band Aid to help them stock their new music room for coming years.

“I think it’s amazing that [MusiCounts] is out there. There is a huge need for support for education, music education especially, and keeping the arts alive,” Weisgerber expressed.

Repainting the Stoney Creek School Lions to host fundraiser concert at Roxy on June 2

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

Over time, things wear out or weather. Neepawa’s Stoney Creek School is no different. That’s why the Neepawa Lions Club is hosting a fundraiser concert to repaint it– and repair any damages found. The concert will take place on June 2 at the Roxy theatre in Neepawa, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and is the Lions’ first fundraising effort for the project.

“The entertainers that we have are very, very good,” Lions Club member Tom Borsa enthused. “And they’ll appeal to people of all ages.”

The entertainers in question are the Sharpe Sisters with Johnny Dietrich’s Kicking Up Dust, musical

groups hailing from Portage la Prairie. In addition to the Manitoban talent, attendees will also have the chance to win a tasty prize.

Attendees will automatically be entered into a draw to win a home-baked pie!

There will be more than one chance to win, so patrons are encouraged to hold onto their tickets until the draw concludes. The draw will be held during intermission, halfway through the concert.

Why repaint the school?

Well over 100 years old, Stoney Creek school is part of the heritage of the Beautiful Plains area, and is officially recognized as a heritage site. It was originally built two miles west of

Neepawa, then was lifted and moved into town to its current location at Riverbend Park in 1964. A cairn still marks the original site.

To this day the Neepawa Lions Club, chartered 1938, still uses the building for meetings. In addition, the building is also used as a tourism site, by groups such as the Retired Teachers Association and for summer day camps.

The necessity to repaint this historical building stems from weathering it has faced over the years.

“We don’t want to change [the siding] to metal or tin,” Borsa explained. “We’d like to keep it original, in accordance with its heritage site designation.”

Borsa noted that the school’s repainting will al-

low them to do just that, the fresh paint providing protection to the wood. Like any other project, there’s a cost.

“We believe [the cost] will be between 7 and 12 thousand dollars– depending on the amount of labour involved and any repairs that may need to be made,” Borsa relayed. “It will require a lot of scraping, some sanding and probably two coats of paint.”

In addition to fundraising efforts, the Lions are also applying for a grant from the Province of Manitoba’s fund for heritage buildings.

Borsa elaborated that the grant “could very well cut [the Lions’] costs in half.”

Neepawa Air Cadets hold ceremonial review

Early bird winners long time supporters of Farm & Leisure Lotto

The 2019 edition of the #9 Royal Canadian Air Cadets ceremonial reviews was held at the Western Canadian Aerial Ltd hanger at the Neepawa Municipal Airport on Thursday May 24.

Neepawa Banner & Press

A cha nge i n venue for this years #9 Royal Canad ian A ir Cadets ceremonial review gave the event some added significance. The ceremony, which was held on Thursday, May 24, was shifted from its usual location at the Yellowhead Arena to the Western Canadian Aerial Ltd hanger at the Neepawa Municipal Airport. This change allowed the cadets to present in front of an actual aircraft with striking similarities to a model known as an Ayres S-2 Thrush Commander.

Hailey Rapsky, an employee with Western Canadian Aerial Ltd came up with the idea and pitched it to the Air Cadets.

“I approached [the Air Cadets] with the idea and they were very receptive to

the suggestion. They ran it up the chain of command, who were also receptive to it,” said Rapsky. “And just speaking with a few of the cadets and their families here today, they all think it was a very cool idea.”

Captain Ryan Hunt, the commanding officer for the #9 Royal Canadian Air Cadets, said that the change of scenery made the ceremony something special.

“It’s a better environment, more appealing to the cadet program,” stated Capt. Hunt. “These cadets put a lot of work in over the course of the year. It’s something that they and their families should be very proud of and something like this, perhaps, makes the ceremony even more special.”

To go along with the ceremony, several year-end awards were also handed

out. For the 2019 #9 Air Cadet Annual Ceremonial Review Awards, the recipients were as follows: •Top Level 1 Cadet: LAC Jakubowski •Top Level 2 Cadet: F/ Cpl Cousley •Top Level 3 Cadet: Sgt Funk •Top Sen ior Cadet: WOII MacGregor •Top Overall Cadet: WOI Song The #9 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron is one of the longest-serving squadrons in all of Canada, tracing its history back to 1941.

For Larry and Debbie Fischer of Plumas, this year’s Neepawa & District Medical Committee Farm & Leisure Lotto is a perfect example of perseverance paying off.
