Camp Day helps kids, one cup at a time

PHOTO BY EOIN DEVEREUX

Tim Hortons Camp Day was held on Wednesday, June 5. The annual fundraiser sees all proceeds from every coffee purchased on that day donated to the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. Neepawa’s franchise was involved in the effort this year, with employee Zahara Williston (pictured) and the rest of the local staff being quite busy throughout the event. In total, $2,092 was raised locally through the campaign. Additonal details on the day will appear in a future edition of the Neepawa Banner & Press.

Farm & Leisure Lottery winnings stay local

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

A long time supporter of the Neepawa and District Medical Committee Farm and Leisure Lotto has f inally claimed its grand prize. Sharon Suski, of Arden, was the holder of the winning ticket and chose to take the cheque for $100,000. She received her cheque on Tuesday, June 11, from Medical Committee Lottery chairperson, Mary Ellen Clark.

Suski, who has supported the lottery both as a ticket buyer and a volunteer, said that when she first received the call, she had a hard time believing that she was the big winner.

“I thought Mary Ellen was pulling my leg, so the reality of it is just sinking in now,” Suski noted with a chuckle. “We support [the lottery] every year and we believe it’s a good cause.

Health care is so important to every community, so this is something that we’ve always done. You support, but you don’t expect to get [something] back.”

Clark said that while it’s great that they receive support from the entire Westman region, it’s nice

to see someone with a local connection, such as Sharon, collect the big prize.

Meanwhile, the 50/50 prize amount was won by Florence Lowey, of Laurier.

She ended up receiving a cheque for $45,755. Lowey said that they, too, have been long-time supporters of the lottery.

“We’ve been in Manitoba for 17 years and have probably been supporting the lottery for about 10 years.

Whenever we could, we’d purchase a ticket,” Lowey said. “We were surprised to receive the call, but it

was definitely a pleasant surprise.”

Clark thanked everyone for supporting the lotto and ensuring that this year, it was once again a resounding success.

“We were a little worried that this could be a down year for sales, but everyone really came through for us.

Maintaining the type of support we’ve seen in previous years was very nice to see,” Clark noted.

T he proceeds from the lottery help to fund improvements to Neepawa’s medical services, with this

year’s money going towards the paving of the Beautiful Plains Community Medical Clinic parking lot and other exterior upgrades.

Obvious solutions often ignored

A

number of events this past week have prompted a reaction in my mind. It seems strange to me that, as a society and with the governments we have in place, we can’t solve our problems much faster.

Let’s start with some simple problems. The City of Winnipeg has a Canada goose problem.

People are being warned to stay away from the geese, especially when they are in super-protective mode, around the nesting and fledgling stages. Good advice.

It is obvious that there are thousands more geese than there used to be. Geese love the relative peace, quiet and great food sources provided by city parks and the nearby grain farms provide even better food supplies.

Our food banks could use more good meat supplies, so it is obvious that a fall goose harvest would be a good idea. Maybe a spring egg harvest would be a good idea too, in the way the northern Indigenous people have done for centuries. Now those ideas are going to go over like a lead balloon with many folks, but reality has to set in at some point when real problems and logical solutions converge.

Another simple problem is the raging debate over plastics, especially one-time use plastics.

The real problem isn’t one-time use plastics and it isn’t that Prime Minister Trudeau gets totally tongue tied when he has to answer any unscripted question. Mind you, his answer about plastic drinking bottles was pretty funny and shows how inept the man is neepawa

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell without a script.

The problem is that coastal cities are dumping their crap in the ocean. You and I are not the problem. We don’t dump our picnic plates and plastic cutlery in the ocean. You and I didn’t send container loads of plastic bags and garbage to the Philippines. We did not! Somebody did and because there is no way of tracing where it all came from, you and I are going to pay for it. The irony of the container garbage debacle is they are going to incinerate it in a clean burn energy facility at Vancouver. Well d’uhh? Isn’t that what many of us have been advocating towards for years? Isn’t that what Evergreen Environmental, the jointly owned municipal waste facility at Minnedosa has been trying to get done?

Turning to more serious matters, my wife and I were out for dinner in Winnipeg last Friday to celebrate her birthday with family. On our way back to our hotel room, we passed a spot on Sherbrook Street where there was huge police presence. It was the scene of Winnipeg’s 22nd murder in 2019. Turns out that

the accused had pleaded guilty to manslaughter about 10 years ago and reportedly served 18 months in jail. My question is, considering we don’t have capital punishment in Canada, why do people who kill other people ever get out of jail? If someone is found guilty of killing a person in a nonaccidental fashion, they can stay in a prison forever in my view.

Prison farms, prison factories, whatever, but in prison. Period.

I have the same view for sex offenders, especially repeat offenders. Why should we be subjected to news releases that openly state that such-and-such a person is being released from prison and is likely to re-offend? If they are likely to re-offend, they should be still in prison.

We have a wide range of problems, but we ignore the simplest of solutions.

mall businesses are the backbone of most rural communities, but maybe more important than the businesses a community currently has, is the ones it will have in the future. Will there be more, or fewer? As another class of graduates leaves school behind, how many of them plan to run their own businesses? How many have even thought about it?

Chances are, most grads will end up working for a small business, that is, one with less than MY 100 employees. PERSPECTIVE As of December 2017, 97.9 per cent of Canada’s 1.18 mil- Kate lion businesses Jackman-Atkinson were classified a s “ s m a l l ”.

These businesses employed 8.3 million Canadians, providing jobs to 69.7 per cent of the total private labour force. They were also responsible 67.5 per cent of the net employment growth, creating 640,000 new jobs. In rural communities, where there are very few large, private sector employers, the importance of small businesses is especially pronounced. Looking at rural communities, small businesses drive our local economies, providing the goods and services upon which we rely. Not only that, they provide vital jobs.

The painful truth is that if we want to see our communities not just survive, but grow, we need more entrepreneurs. Small businesses face a number of challenges, which is why less than half of them survive 10 years. Business closures are the result of a number of factors, from a lack of profitability, to changing interests of the owners. It’s crucial that every year, new businesses keep opening and someone be there to take over ownership when business owners want to retire or pursue other interests.

Youth need to be encouraged to see entrepreneurship as a viable option. In some industries, it’s more prevalent than others. For example, skilled tradespeople and professionals have a strong connection with entrepreneurship, as many people who enter these careers will run their own business, whether or not they have other employees. The rise of tech companies has also helped to popularize entrepreneurship as a desirable and celebrated career path.

Over the next decade, it’s estimated that about $1.5 trillion worth of business assets will change hands in Canada. According to data from 2014, about half of both small and mediumsized business owners were between 50 and 64 years of age and another 12 to 14 per cent are over 65 years of age. Given the demographics, it’s easy to see why 72 per cent of Canadian business owners plan to exit their companies in the next decade.

We’re approaching a critical juncture, as baby boomer business owners look to retire, who will take over their businesses?

Or open new ones that will continue to provides services rural residents need and want? This will be especially pronounced in rural communities.

I’m encouraged, it seems like lately, we’ve reported on a few more stories about people in their 20s and 30s taking over businesses or starting new ones. This is a good start.

We don’t need the Class of 2019 to jump right into small business ownership, in fact, it’s probably best if they spend some time developing their skills and interests. What we do need is every young person to believe that they could become an entrepreneur and to think about it as a viable career path, among many. As this year’s grads head off to the workforce, higher education or travel, I hope we as communities have planted the idea that their dreams can grow here. Running a business is no easy task, but this is an issue of vital importance to any rural residents who want to see their communities continue into the future.

A beautiful country

A

few years ago, my wife and I flew to Vancouver for a week’s holiday. We f lew on a clear day– not a cloud in the sky from Winnipeg to Vancouver. From our window, we got a bird’s eye view of the prairies, foothills and mountains as we made our way west.

It was an awesome experience– one that we will never forget.

It also gave me an increased desire to research costs and plan for my dream vacation. No, I don’t want to go to Paris, London or the Holy Land.

I’ve been to Disneyland and wouldn’t mind going again. Kathryn wants to go to Las Vegas and Nashville some day. But I have a different trip in mind, one that keeps me much closer to home.

I enjoy traveling by train. I know it’s slow, but it’s relaxing and gives the passenger a chance to see parts of this country that can never be reached by road. So my ideal trip would go like this: fly to Toronto; take Via Rail’s

FAITHFULLY YOURS

Neil Strohschein Canadian to Vancouver; fly to Prince Rupert, BC; take Via Rail’s Skeena to Jasper; then take the Canadian to Winnipeg. It’s an expensive trip. But I think it would be well worth the money just to experience the vastness of western Canada, take in its natural beauty, see all that is happening in the communities along the train’s route and record as much as I can in photos and video.

We live in an amazing country. We are blessed with abundant resources– some above ground, some below ground and some walking around (animals and people). Canada’s major national parks draw thousands of tourists each year. Local parks (like our Riding Mountain National Park) draw scores of visitors each month– some for

camping and fishing, some for hiking or cross-country skiing, some for golf and some who just want to sit by the beach at one of its many lakes and absorb the warmth of a summer sun.

For those who can’t travel long distances, there are many things to enjoy at home. I am having a great time exploring the walking and hiking trails around Neepawa and have a list of other trails in the area to check out. Those who admire the beauty of nature will find pocket parks, f lower and vegetable gardens, forests and marshes to visit. And if you stay quietly in one place, you just might be treated to a visit by some members of the animal kingdom who live close by.

With so many of these things so close to us, it

is easy to take them for granted and to think that we deserve them because of who we are or what we’ve done.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The physical landscape; the forests, meadows and lakes we enjoy; the land that provides us with food; the wildlife we admire; and the indigenous people who understand better than we ever will how to live in harmony with the natural world around us all were here long before European settlers (like my ancestors) ever set foot in western Canada. They are gifts from our Creator.

They are also signs of his faith in us– a faith that is based on his hope that we will not exploit these gifts or make excessive profits from them, but that we will enjoy them, treat them with reverence and respect and use them, in partnership with others, to help make our communities, our country and our world a better place for all.

A rainy Saturday morning I

t’s what most of us have been waiting for, a slow, drizzly day. An all out rain would be wonderful, this is a start. So what to do?

I have been sloughing off working on small projects, so this will be the day.

Right after a second cup of coffee and a shot of the news. Watching 30 minutes of that is enough to drive anyone outside!

There were three items that needed to have their tops freshened. It’s wonderful when one has supplies nearly organized.

I stripped, sanded and stained the top of an oval side table that has been handed down from a friend, then the top of a half moon side table that has been around so long I don’t remember where it came from, and then the top of a storage unit.

Now, I am fairly proud of that piece. Several weeks ago, I took it all apart to put in a couple of shelves,

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen

replacing the drawers that had fallen into despair.

It took a bit of thinking, and I will not allow a true woodworker see the final result, however, it works!

I even have found baskets that fit into the opening.

Leaving the stain to set and dry, I puttered off. The ancient indoor-outdoor carpet in the garage has been a stinking eyesore all spring. And really, I mean stinking. This winter, I realised there had been days too cold for my little dogs to actually ‘go’ outside. Sadly. The carpet was way past cleaning; I did that last year and the year before. The decision, my decision, was to tear it up

and out. This meant that stuff needed to be moved, stuff like a fridge and a freezer and storage boxes.

Where there is a will, there is a way. And so it came to pass that in an hour, with the use of a utility knife and what is left of my brute strength, the mission was completed.

Working in the garage progressed to washing down the shelving unit that displays my collection of sad irons, a few pictures, Pete’s mining helmet from the Springhill Mine Museum and the eight quart copper (chrome plated) Revere stove top kettle that was my maternal grandparents’.

This took time, for I recalled the visit to the mine museum and meeting Pete, a retired miner dying from lung disease. He spoke of being trapped in a cave, not once, but twice. Not the big Springhill Bump that changed the community forever, but one in which he and his companions remained in the dark for days.

He wanted us to have his helmet, for we cared about his story, and he wanted it told and retold.

And the kettle! I recall it on the kitchen stove, boiling water for the afternoon faspa, the aunts, uncles and cousins filling the old farm home with love and laughter. Grandma loved it best when most of her 12 children and their families (46 first cousins there!) visited every Sunday.

Looking back on the day, it is with satisfaction and delight that I see progress.

And time for myself.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin hen you move to another province you leave behind friends and family, but you also get behind with activities that go on . It is so nice to hear in detail newsy items through writings, computer or spoken words. News is not always good, but can be shared by prayer and praise and acknowledgment.

The move might bring pleasure by being closer to precious family members and their offspring. We will never be alone where ever we are. The Lord will lead us along.

Isaiah 35 foretells us what the future of the redeemed will be like. It spoke to me when I read it. And we need to encourage others who know Jesus in a personal way “Be strong and do not fear, your God will come.” We can then survive life’s seasons of storms. He also says that we “will see the glory of the Lord, the splendour of our God. Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give away.” God does not discriminate against any age group. He is there for us, young and old.

Brian McCutchin Arden, MB Thumbs down to the new owner of “The Village” property at West Creek, behind McLaughlin GM. The lack of respect you have shown regarding the maintenance, i.e. grass and dandelion control, is disgusting.

Aspen Lea residents are very upset with this sight we have to look at every day.

Not good for business, Mr. Ryan McLaughlin.

Myra Bennet Neepawa, MB Thumbs up to all owners who do keep their properties well maintained.

Neepawa is a beautiful town, lets keep it that way.

Myra Bennet Neepawa, MB Thumbs down to NACTV for not allowing use of community access TV equipment to the community. Despite NACTV co-presenting, along with the Roxy Theatre, the upcoming Neepawa Film Festival, I was told that a short film (ironically to be broadcasted on NACTV) would be considered “personal use” and thus, equipment will not be made available. Only “community events”, which I argue the festival is, such as parades, sports, etc. can be signed out for any use, I have been told.

Given that the Neepawa Film Festival is a community event, I ask that NACTV allow our community to use community access equipment in support of this inaugural community event.

Donald Phillips Neepawa, 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!

Brazil

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth largest nation in the world by both land area and population. It shares borders with nine South American countries.

Brazil is home to the Amazon River, the world’s largest river in volume and the second largest in length. There are no bridges that cross the Amazon, mainly because the majority of the Amazon River runs through rainforests rather than populated areas. When it’s the wet season, the Amazon River can reach over 190 km in width. It is believed that there are more than 60 uncontacted tribes in the Brazilian Amazon region, more than any other country in the world. That means 60 plus tribes have never seen a cell phone or eaten at McDonalds!

The Brazilian landscape is very varied. It is most well-known for the world’s largest jungle, but there are also dry grasslands (called pampas), rugged hills, pine forests, immense plateaus, savannas and a long coastal plain. The country has 7,400 km of coastline and therefore, many great beaches and lots of seafood on the menu. Brazil has the largest variety of animals of any country in the world. It is home to 600 mammal species, including the anteater and armadillo, 1,500 fish species, including the famous piranha, 1,600 bird species, including the Toco toucan, and an amazing 100,000 different types of insects, including Tarantulas and the massive bullet ant.

When the Portuguese arrived in the Brazilian region in 1500, they claimed the land for Portugal. Portugal established its first colony in Brazil in 1530. Colonists developed sugarcane plantations along the coast. Soon, people from West Africa were brought to Brazil to work as slaves. Brazil gained its independence from Portugal in 1822. From 1888 until recently, the country struggled with democracy. In 1985, the military government was peacefully removed, and by 1995, Brazil’s politics and economy had become fairly stable. Brazil is a federal republic with a president and a National Congress. The official language is Portuguese, with an additional 180 other native languages spoken.

Standing with his arms outstretched, the statue of Christ the Redeemer overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro is one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”. It is 38 meters tall and weighs 635 tonnes. Brazil is recognized for its Carnival, with its colourful parades and costumes, music, parties and dances. Family life is important to Brazilians and most families live in close proximity to each other, so that they can all take care of each other as they grow older.

Agriculture products in Brazil include coffee, soybeans, beans, wheat, rice, corn, sugarcane, citrus, cocoa and beef. Brazil has been the world’s largest exporter of coffee for over 100 years.

Because Brazil is such a vast country with a melting pot of nations, languages and customs, its cuisine varies greatly from region to region. Brazilian food is generally rich and spicy and the malagueta is a pepper is used to heat things up. With about double the heat of a cayenne pepper, this is a pepper that’ll knock your socks off! Brazilian barbecue (churrasco) is at the heart of the country’s culinary world, as they love their barbecued beef. Many traditional dishes contain beans and rice. Brazil’s national dish is Feijoada, a black bean stew with pork or beef.

Brazil grows and enjoys many fresh fruits and vegetables, such as okra, yams, coconuts, corn, beans, mango, papaya, guava, passion fruit and pineapple. Pão de queijo are small buns baked with cheese and make a popular snack enjoyed at any time of day. Moqueca de Camarão is a shrimp and vegetable stew cooked in coconut milk and served with rice.

Buchada, or stuffed goat stomach, is a staple in the northern state of Ceara. Goat internal organs and spices are mixed with blood and then stuffed into the goat stomach and cooked. I will pass on this version of “haggis” and try this yummy dessert recipe to follow.

I love the name of this cake. Sliced, it resembles an ant hill with hundreds of ants.

Don’t worry, the ants are shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles.

Anthill cake or Bolo Formigeiro 3 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 cup sugar 2/3 cup shredded coconut 1 cup softened butter or margarine 4 egg whites, beaten stiffly 4 egg yolks, beaten 1 cup shaved chocolate or 1 tsp. vanilla chocolate sprinkles 1 cup coconut milk or buttermilk 3 cups flour In a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together. Stir in the egg yolks and vanilla.

Screen time harmful to child development

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press

There is a growing trend that has been seen in child development assessments over the past few years. It affects reading, speech, vision, motor skills and even physical health. The culprit is an increase in screen time.

Pre-school speech pathologist, Angela Cameron, works for the Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) Regional Health Authority. She is based out of the Carberry PMH office, but also serves the communities of Neepawa, Minnedosa and the surrounding areas. Over the past few years, she has seen the effects of excessive use of technology in children and is working to find more research and spread the word about the negative impact it can have on small children.

“The effects of the screen time can be lifelong and potentially irreversible. You get the mental health issues, or vision problems, or the social skill problems, those are hard things to reverse,” she explained.

Understand the effects Cameron primarily works with the birth to five-yearold demographic, assessing development in speech, reading and other language skills. She noted that there have been more and more signs of excessive screen time showing up in children being evaluated.

To learn more about this harmful trend, Cameron recently attended a Zone’in workshop, which is a program made by child development expert Cris Rowan, dedicated to the research of and education about the effects of technology on children’s development. “She’s talked about recent trends in areas like obesity, speech and language, academic performance, social skills, attachment, motor skills,

mental health and even vision problems,” Cameron recalled. “That’s just a touch on everything. There’s probably way more, we just maybe don’t know all of the effects yet.” She recommended that anyone wanting to know more about the research that’s been done on this topic, go to Rowan’s website, zonein.ca.

One of the problems contributing to children’s excessive screen time, Cameron said, is that the parents also seem to be addicted to their devices, setting a poor example for children. “I really took note of it when I was at my own children’s activities.

The parents weren’t watching their children... They were just busy looking at their devices for extended amounts of time,” she explained.

Cameron has seen such an alarming increase in issues with development that she wanted to spread the word about reducing screen time.

“I just want parents to have that information, because some of them just don’t understand,” she explained.

To spread the word, she got in contact with the Beautiful Plains School Division office in Neepawa to see if she could make a presentation to parents in the community.

In mid-March, she made a presentation to one of the classes at Neepawa and Area Settlement Services (NAISS). “They had a regular class time with a group of adults who mostly all have children and it was nice in a small gathering where I could get some good feedback before potentially going to other, larger groups,” she explained.

Since then, she has done a presentation in Rivers, at the health centre. There is also one planned for June 24 in Carberry, at the Carberry Health Clinic basement boardroom. It will be from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and anyone interested is free to attend.

Cameron’s presentation addresses what screen time is, how it affects the different areas of development, what the guidelines are for how much screen time children get and how to reduce screen time to help prevent these developmental problems.

Limiting screentime According to the Canadian Paediatric Society, parents should limit children’s screen time, which includes TV, video games, computer and handheld device usage. “For children two and under, there should be no screen time,” Cameron relayed. “Once they get a bit older, between three and five years of age, it’s an hour a day.

And then six to 18, they say two hours a day.”

Cameron suggests taking small steps to reduce technology use. “Whether it’s, say, no devices at supper time, or no devices an hour before bedtime. Start small and then gradually work up to more and have a good balance,” she said.

“I think we as parents need to be good role models for our children and show them there’s more to life than just TV and devices and phones. Model outdoor play with them, or other non-screen games, whether it’s having some family board games, or going for a walk, or going to the playground.

It just needs to be modelled by all family members, it just can’t be us telling our kids that you’re only allowed an hour,” Cameron stressed.

She added, “Children will also benefit from being read to, talking to the child about what they and their parents are doing and playing with your child – go outside or get on the floor, at their level and follow their lead in play.

Parents are their children’s biggest role model and best teacher.”

By Kendra Ott Tenby 4-H Club My name is Kendra Ott. I am eight years old. I have been the Tenby 4-H News Reporter for a year now. If you have been following our articles, you’ve read about lots of our 4-H activities.

At our last meeting, on May 12, we cleaned up the Tenby School. It is an old school and it is a oneroom school. We washed windows, swept cobwebs, dusted desks and scrubbed floors. The 4-H club had a picnic with lots of food when we finished. After, we played old fashioned games, such as three-legged races, egg races, wheelbarrow races and potato sack races.

Also, at the end of April, our club was well represented by Lainie Muir at the 2019 4-H Provincial Communications Event, held at the Canad Inns in Portage la Prairie. Lainie was awarded first place for her speech, “The Power of 3P.” The speech provided inspiration for her listeners on how to achieve your goals using positivity, perseverance and patience.

She also earned f irst place for her speech with a visual titled, “Show Cattle: Daily Routine.” She was able to include the types of tools and products used on

her cattle. Lainie described the routines of preparation and expectations in the ring for showing cattle.

She also provided answers to questions from judges and audience members about her topic. Lainie has been receiving awards over the past four years for her public speaking abilities.

She also proudly shows her cattle at various platforms, including the Brandon Winter Fair.

Lainie is now preparing a speech for the Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture competition. If selected, she will attend the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto in November.

The Tenby 4-H Club includes learning about many animals. Laine Muir has led the groups in teaching fellow members

about care and feeding for cattle. She has demonstrated proper grooming for showing cattle and training procedures. The club members also have learned about the different types of cows and what they are used for.

Lainie carried her knowledge forward and focused her speech using a visual on showing cattle in competition.

Our next club activity will be doing activities at the Glenella Midnight Madness event. Our 4-H group will lead a variety of games for children of all ages. It will be held on Saturday, June 14 in Glenella.

1969: Retiring Neepawa teacher holds impressive record

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Thursday, June 15, 1909 Calgary claims a population of 30,000.

Editor’s note: According to the most recent civic census data, Calgary’s population is currently 1,267,344.

A Montreal editor has been sent to jail for three months for contempt of court and a Quebec editor has just served a term for slapping a politician’s face.

100 years ago, Friday, June 13, 1919 The president of the Canadian Manufacturers Association has laid it down as a guiding principle that employment shall be refused to men who express opinions objectionable to employers. This beats the kaiser for oppression.

50 years ago, Thursday, June 12, 1969 Miss Mildred Musgrove, teacher at the Neepawa Collegiate, is retiring at the end of June after 33 years of service in Neepawa. Miss Musgrove has established an almost unbelievable record by never missing a single day due to illness during that time.

This is certainly a record for Neepawa and it is one that would seldom be equalled in Canada. Miss Musgrove taught most subjects at the high-school level, but specialized in English and

the Commercial subjects…

A Scholarship Fund has been established and a scholarship will be awarded annually to a deserving student at the Neepawa Collegiate.

A staff of more than 20 employees will work at the restaurant when it assumes full operation, according to Hollier…

Expected opening date is set for August 1.

‘We must never forget the men and women who performed these heroic acts’

By Penny Rogers For the Neepawa Banner & Press

There was a stark difference in ages amongst the marchers, ranging from 6 to 99 years, but the reason they were all there was a unifying one.

June 6, 2019, marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day and to commemorate the occasion, Gladstone’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch #110 hosted a parade, wreathlaying ceremony and luncheon.

Among the parade participants were students from both local schools: Gladstone Elementary and William Morton Collegiate, the RCMP, Gladstone Elks Lodge #317, 14-year-old Mateo Otto representing CFB Shilo’s 2520 Royal Canadian Army Cadet corps plus the surrounding area legions, including Neepawa, Plumas and members from the now disbanded Langruth branch.

Also participating in the event were four members of CFB Shilo’s Base Supply Unit: 2Lt. Difalco and WO Dunker, who marched in the parade, and Cpl. Beebe and Pte. Claveau, who stood sentry at the cenotaph.

The eldest participant was 99-year-old James Lobban, who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as an air frame mechanic for four years during World War II, stationed in Trenton, Ont. Lobban was happy to see such a good

turnout for the event, saying that he “didn’t expect to see a gang like this.”

Led by Pipe Major Maureen McFarlane from the Pipes and Drums of Manitoba, followed by Legion #110 Color Party and Sergeant-at-Arms Garry Henderson, the diverse group marched through town to the cenotaph. Along the

short route, business owners, workers and shoppers spilled out onto the sidewalks as the parade passed.

Once settled at the cenotaph, Branch #110 president Kerry MacLennan, reminded the gathered crowd of the significance of that day, 75 years ago, and mentioned the names of three Gladstone residents, since deceased, who were on Juno Beach that historic day: Earl Stewart, Roy Snaith and Robert Johnston. All three were past recipients of the highest decoration that France can bestow, the National Order of the Legion of Honour.

Grade 11 student, Fanaye Humes, addressed the crowd next, speaking about the effect of war on youth. “As I look around today, I see a wide range of beautifully diverse faces.

We are privileged to be alive in a time where we have the rights and freedoms we do today…We must never forget the men and women who performed these heroic acts under the most difficult conditions to give us our rights and freedoms,” she said.

This was followed by a prayer from Branch #110 padre, Verna Otto, who then welcomed Legion representatives from Neepawa, Plumas, Langruth and Gladstone to read the names of soldiers from their communities whose lives were lost during WWII, and whose bodies are buried in foreign soil.

Store improvement Mack purchases Pyramid Collision Centre program has first recipient

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press

Neepawa Town Council June 4, 2019

Neepawa’s storefront improvement incentive program is starting to generate some local interest. Neepawa Home Hardware recently applied for and received a 50 per cent reimbursement on a window replacement and fresh coat of paint to the north and west side of the building. The total amount reimbursed through the incentive program was $2,830.53.

The program was created to assist businesses within the downtown with the cost of store frontage upgrades.

The committee invites other businesses to submit applications and added that further details are available online at the Town of Neepawa website or at the economic development office.

Correspondents Beautiful Plains Community Foundation will host the Neepawa RCMP 50th Anniversary Gala on Sept. 21.

This fundraiser commemorates the golden anniversary of the RCMP in Neepawa, along with raising funds and awareness of the importance of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation. They are currently seeking sponsors for the evening and have asked the Town if it is interested in some type of sponsorship or contribution.

Animal control contract The town has renewed its animal control contract with Jake Birch. The contract will run through to Dec. 31, 2022. The duties of the animal control officer revolve around capturing and impounding dangerous or stray animals, enforcing licensing laws where applicable and rescuing trapped animals.

Subdivision on Commerce St. Blanchard Construction’s request to subdivide a portion of property near Commerce Street moved forward.

The plan is for the land, located on the south side of Commerce, to be divided into four new residential lots and have direct access onto the street. The lots will also have access to municipal sewer and water.

In order for the request to move ahead, the land needed to be rezoned from residential single family unserviced to residential single family zoned. There were no concerns brought up by any impacted parties on the proposed subdivision. A public hearing is required for this to move forward and will be held in the near future. Council approved the request.

Sale of Eastview Lodge lots A third lot has been sold on the former Eastview Lodge property. Blanchard Construction purchased the lot for the listed price of $45,000. Blanchard had previously purchased another lot in the area and wanted to acquire the adjoining one. In total, there are six lots at that location.

Manager of Operations update The road patching contract has been approved and will be moving forward shortly, while the Town’s dust control program is already underway. The Fire Hall progress is still ongoing, as 95 to 99 per cent work is complete. Lagoon work is also progressing, with building structures set to begin within the next week. Some water and sewer extensions have been added to the former CN property site and were recently completed.

A familiar face at Pyramid Collision Centre in Neepawa has taken on a new role. Adrienne Mack, who got her start in the auto body industry at Pyramid, just purchased the business from her former employers, Jim and Shelly Graham, on June 1.

Mack grew up in Neepawa and graduated from Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute.

The autobody industry was not the first career path she had in mind when she left for university. She started off studying Agriculture at the University of Manitoba, before her plans started to evolve. “I didn’t really like being away from home or being in the school all day,” Mack said. “I wanted to be out and about, working with my hands.”

Mack returned to Neepawa after deciding agriculture studies wasn’t for her.

“I joined the car club, the Yellowhead Roadrunners, in Neepawa,” she said. “I got talking to Jim Graham, the previous owner [of Pyramid], and said that I was interested in working on cars.” Graham offered her the chance to come and work at Pyramid for a while, to see if it was something she liked and it turns out, it was.

“I worked here for probably seven years, so something stuck there. I really enjoyed it, as soon as I started working with vehicles and just see-

ing what I could do, seeing what I could learn. Seeing a vehicle come in damaged and then being able to fix it and return it to the customer, I took a lot of pride in that,” she expressed.

During her time at Pyramid, she took her level 1 and 2 autobody repair apprenticeship, under Graham, through Red River College. She noted that while she was there, she saw that it took a physical toll on a lot of the other employees and other college students in that trade. She started to worry about the physical toll the work would take on her body, so she moved to Winnipeg to get a new job outside of the trade.

Mack lived in Winnipeg for six years, working in and learning from different aspects of the automotive industry. Her first job was with the auto parts dealer, Piston Ring, in Winnipeg.

“I stayed in the automotive field, I still found it very interesting. But I missed working in the shop, I missed doing the body work,” Mack said. “So I went to work at one of the shops in Winnipeg and I took my level 3 with that shop.” From there, Mack went on to work in the collision centres of a couple dealerships in Winnipeg, where she processed accident claims and communicated with MPI and customers to get vehicles repaired.

Last fall, the opportunity arose for her to realize a dream she’s had for years. “I have wanted to own a body shop for quite a while, I just didn’t know if it would be possible in the city,” Mack explained. “Jim and Shelly, they approached me about purchasing the business [Pyramid]. They didn’t have it up for sale, but they approached me because I

had worked here before.

I knew that I wanted to move back here at some point, I just didn’t know when or what opportunity would bring me back,” she explained. “Everything just seemed to fall in place really great, so I took that as a good sign.” At the beginning of the month, Mack officially became the owner of Pyramid Collision Centre.

“I would like to give a shout out to Jim and Shelly... and the amazing business that they’ve created,” said Mack. “Jim had this place for 24 years and he moved the shop here, on this location, he built everything up from scratch, so I have some pretty big shoes to fill,” she expressed. “Everybody knows of Jim and Pyramid...

I don’t want to just take it over as mine and plaster my name everywhere. His roots are here, I have the honour of moving forward with it.”

Being a business owner for about two weeks now, Mack said things are going smoothly. “So far so good, shop’s still standing,” she stated. “Jim is staying on for half a year, to help me out with the transition... It’s very exciting, very nerve-wracking from minute to minute, but I’m grateful that all the employees stayed on here as well. They’ve made an easy transition,” she added. “The business owner thing is still sinking in a little bit. It’s an exciting opportunity to have something to call my own and put my energy into.”

Tick prevention off your checklist

By Cassandra Wehrhahn

Neepawa Banner & Press

According to the provincial government’s most recent tick-borne disease report, cases of Lyme disease– as a result of bites from blacklegged ticks (also known as “deer ticks”)– continue to increase in Manitoba.

There were 28 confirmed cases of the disease in the province, compared to just one in 2009. The report indicates that the highest incident rates were found in the Interlake region and primarily in males over 60.

Getting a bite from deer ticks carrying the Borrelia bacteria is the only known way a person or animal can contract the disease. The tick must also be attached for at least 72 hours. However, not all blacklegged ticks carry the Borrelia bacteria.

Only about 10 per cent of deer ticks analyzed by scientists tested positive for Lyme disease, of which most were female. Dr. Kateryn Rochon, professor at the University of Manitoba’s entomology department, explained that this is due to the fact that male ticks typically do not attach to the skin to feed. This means it is less likely for them to carry and transmit the Borrelia bacteria.

Dr. Jared Bullard, a Pediatric Infectious Diseases expert, says that symptoms of Lyme disease usually develop approximately one month after exposure to an infected deer tick that has been attached for the required time.

“The most common symptom is a target-like rash with the centre (or “bullseye”) being where the tick would have latched,” Dr. Bullard conveyed. “A second rash of the same appearance and location typically occurs a few weeks after the first, but is more obvious as it spreads across the body.

Joint pain and swelling are [also] common symptoms.”

Adult female deer ticks can be recognized by a black round “shield” behind their head. Unlike the larger, more common reddishcolored wood-tick, deer ticks do not have any silver markings on their backs.

Tick prevention It’s not always possible to eliminate contact with vegetation, such as tall grasses, particularly if one works in the agricultural field. Thus, regular tick checks are necessary– both for humans

and animals. Individuals should also wear close-toed shoes and long pants tucked into their socks when walking in wooded or grassy areas. This will reduce the chances of a tick reaching your skin.

In addition, there are a number of products available to use as a preventative measure. For humans, the recommended repellant is DEET. The product should be applied to the entire body– especially the feet and legs– and reapplied every four hours to ensure effectiveness.

For pets, it is imperative to talk to your vet about the available options for

prevention. One product may work better for your animal’s needs than another.

Additionally, some options may also be safe for one kind of animal, but toxic for another.

“Some [products] are prescription specific, so valid client-patient relationship is required, but we do carry over the counter products as well,” Carberry Small Animal Clinic’s Dr. Marie North explained.

“We discuss with the owner what their goals are, and match the product to what the owner is looking for and what would be best for the animal.”

NACI Tigers win Provincial AAA track & field title

By Rob Pehura Submitted

By Eoin Devereux

It was a sizzling weekend for the Central Plains Sea Lions at the Pan Am Pool in Winnipeg this past weekend, for the Manitoba Jr. Provincial Swimming Championships. The Sea Lions sent seven members and had a very dominant performance, repeating as Small Club Champions.

The club had very strong individual performances from all of its members, as each swimmer was able to attain some hardware.

With a combined total of 28 medals, including 14 gold, the club has been able to maintain itself as a strong force in Manitoba swimming community.

Neepawa native, Bryce Kwiatkowski, had a strong meet in the 14 and 15-yearold age group. Bryce was able to attain four individual golds, in the 200 IM, 200 breast, 100 breast and 50 fly. He also picked up two silver medals in the 50 free and 50 back and a bronze in the 100 free. Bryce was also awarded the highpoint trophy for the 14 and 15year old age group, for the second time this year and made the AA cut for his 100 breast.

Sea Lions coach Rob Pehura noted that Bryce has grown tremendously this season, in terms of attitude and stroke development.

These improvements are really starting to show in different races and although Bryce’s favourite stroke is breaststroke, his other strokes are beginning to

For the second straight year, the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Tigers are the Manitoba “AAA” track and field champions. The team picked up top spot in their category at the MHSAA Provincial Track & Field Championship, which was held June 6 to 8 in Winnipeg.

For NACI, the first day of the event featured a pair of bronze medals in team competitions. First, the varsity boys squad finished third overall in medley relay. Riley Neufeld, Taine Middleton, Daxx Turner and Ben Perrett ran the event. Meanwhile, the Tigers’ junior varsity girls, consisting of Lara Denbow, Macy Wither, Kensi Rainkie and Shelby Gluska also captured bronze in their medley event.

On the second day, NACI started to find the podium in the individual competitions.

Daxx Turner had a pair of positive placings, finishing first in the varsity boys javelin throw and second in the high jump. Meanwhile, Taine Middleton finished fourth in the varsity boys 100m and Rylee Gluska was also fourth in the varsity girls shot put.

For the third and final day of competition, on Saturday, June 8, NACI had a tremendous showing with 10 top-five results. Shelby

take shape, which was very evident in his 200 IM, where he took off almost seven seconds. Bryce has been training very hard and the results are beginning to show.

Along with Kwiatkowski’s individual results, he also posted two gold medals in team events in the freestyle and medley relay. Bryce teamed with swimmers Brett and Jared Vachon and Geniko Hildebrand and posted the fastest time of all the clubs at the meet.

With the ManSask Championship approaching in Winnipeg the first weekend in July, it will be exciting to see the results, as that is the target for this swim season.

Gluska had a third place finish in the JV girls 3,000m run. Teammate Lara Denbow, meanwhile, finished second in the junior varsity triple jump and 800m run.

She also finished fifth in the 400m dash. Another notable accomplishment

by Denbow occurred in the qualification round, as she broke the junior varsity girls triple jump record, with a jump of 11.51m.

In the Varsity boys triple jump, NACI had a pair of athletes win medals. Daxx Turner was first overall, while Riley Neufeld finished third. Neufeld also finished fourth in the boys 400m dash. Ben Perrett would collect a first place result

in the varsity boys 400m dash and third in the 200m dash. Taine Middleton, meanwhile, placed fifth in the 200m.

NACI track coach Bryce Koscielny said that the team is very proud of their results from the competition.

“I thought the weekend was fantastic overall! We had a lot of personal bests, seasons bests, a record, multiple podium finishes and at the end of the day, we came home with the

banner! To be able to win the banner in back to back years is pretty special and it certainly shows the talent that we have here in Neepawa,” said Koscielny.

“Hopefully, we can continue to develop, both as athletes and as a team, and continue to have successes in the years to come. I know the athletes are pretty thrilled and it’s certainly a great way for the Grade 12 students to end their high school track and field careers!”

The Neepawa Natives pulled off a bold move at the 2019 MJHL Bantam Draft. The team, which had the first overall pick, made a deal with the Waywayseecappo Wolverines. Neepawa ended up sending the f irst pick to Wayway, in exchange for the fourth overall selection and the CJHL rights to 2002 born forward Graeme Patrick.

Neepawa then used the fourth pick to acquire t he play ing r ights to N ic hol a s Gub er m a n , a Winnipeg born forward with the Winnipeg Monarchs. Last season, Guberman put up 35 points (15 goals - 20 assists) in 32 games for the Monarchs. Natives head coach/general manager Ken Pearson said they’re very happy with how the deal unfolded.

“We are hoping that Gr a eme c a n s t e p i n and play now and be a big part of our future,” noted Pearson. “We also felt we could move down and still get a very good player we wanted, which we did in Nicholas Guberman. In Guberman, we are getting a skilled forward that competes and will be a counted on to provide offence when he matures as a player in the future.”

Obituary Matt Soroka Matt Soroka, on June 2, 2019, with wife and sons at his side, passed away at the Neepawa Health Centre. Born on the family farm at Mountain Road on October 5, 1927, to Wes and Martha Soroka.

On October 12, 1957, he married Bernice Makwaychuk (married 61 years). Matt is survived by wife Bernice, sons Anthony (Janet) and Andrew, three grandchildren and Lawrence and Elsie Makwaychuk.

Predeceased by parents Wes and Martha Soroka, sister Mary (Jack Yakiwchuk), niece Darlene (Anderson), brother Peter, wife Ann, nephew Micheal Soroka, brother Mike and infant brother Nick.

Matt worked at various jobs; Dew line in 1956 (6 months), on the family farm 'till 1979, Manitoba Crop Insurance for 21 years and Barkers Insurance for 5 years.

He enjoyed trapping, hunting and sports. Matt also enjoyed dancing and socializing with family and friends.

Funeral mass was held at St John's the Baptist, Ukrainian Church in Neepawa, on June 6, 2019.

Eleanor Burgess On May 4th at Country Meadows Personal Care Home in Neepawa, I was with Eleanor when she left this world.

Eleanor was born in Russell, Manitoba, on Feb. 26, 1952, to James and Agnes Burgess.

Eleanor was born with Down syndrome.

As a young girl, Eleanor was a candy striper at the Russell hospital and later, a volunteer at the personal care home for many years.

Her mother started a kindergarten class in her own home for Eleanor and 5 other young boys. Later, a classroom was put in place at Bessie Keating’s vacant farm house, then to the old school in Silverton and then to the Russell school.

We lived 2 blocks from Main St. and Eleanor would walk to the library. The good business people, like Dale Brown, would watch for her and make sure she was headed home.

Her father was the mayor of Russell for 19 consecutive years and provided a good home for us and built a cabin at Silver Beach, by himself, in 1946. It was there that Eleanor learned to swim in the Red Cross swimming program, going through Beginner, Junior, Intermediate and Bronze Medallion.

She won a bronze medal in the special Olympics in Calgary in 1985, she could swim like a fish with a smile.

With some persuasion in the early ‘70s, I convinced my parents to let her go to Touchwood Park in Neepawa, where she could better her life in a lot of ways, and she has for the last 34 years.

At the start, she lived with Jim Instance’s family in Minedosa, and bused to Neepawa every day to Touchwood’s workshop. Later, she moved to Mrs. Jordan’s in Neepawa, and eventually, to a group home run by Touchwood.

She would come home as often as she wanted, but her trips became less frequent as time went by and our family knew she had found a new home with Touchwood, and we were happy for her.

She loved bowling and was good at it. When she got a ‘bullseye’, she jumped for joy.

She enjoyed needlework and crocheting and going for coffee with her friends. She became very fond of Brenda Boyle, a group home manager.

A small, but nice, memorial service was held in Neepawa on May 22nd, at the Legion Hall, which was very fitting for Eleanor, as many events in her life happened there.

Pastor Wendy Thom had a beautiful and meaningful service and her husband Rick Thom, of Breandle and Bruce Funeral Service, showed his professional ability.

Her father passed on in 1984, her brother Neil in 1995 and her mother in 2001.

She is survived by myself, three nieces and a nephew and many relatives.

Her mother never gave up on Eleanor’s struggles and the ‘50s were not kind to my mother, as she cared for Eleanor on one hand and her son Neil’s polio on the other, a remarkable mother and daughter.

Clarke’s Funeral Home, Gladstone~MacGregor www.clarkesfuneralhome.com Shirley Lillian Davidson After a long and well-lived life, Shirley Lillian Davidson peacefully passed away, June 5, 2019 at 97 1/2 years young. It was only in the past few weeks did she admit to perhaps being “old”.

Mom will be missed by her children: Brian, Wenda (Grant), Campbell and Michael (Jeri), five grandkids and eight great-grand kids, as well as many relatives, friends and neighbors.

Mom was born in Winnipeg, Jan. 7 1922, to George and Lillian Blackwell (nee Houston). They soon moved to Neepawa, where she happily spent her childhood, going to school, taking piano, playing tennis and hockey, swimming, skating and skiing. She loved the family holidays at Clear Lake, in Riding Mountain National Park.

Mom attended U of Manitoba, however, her studies were cut short by the war. She did her part to support the war effort by working in Ottawa as a secretary in the Armed Services control center. After the war, and a short stint with the emerging Trans-Canada Airline (TCA), she returned to Neepawa, where she married dad, Douglas Gerrond Davidson in 1947, just after he returned from the war and finished university.

They soon moved to Winnipeg and bought a brand new house on Montague Ave, the perfect place for a growing family. Mom became the consummate wife and mother, as well as a “creative” cook. One of her rules was, “to try a new recipe every week”. Another move to Montrose St. as the family expanded with the arrival of son Michael.

Over the next years, mom was involved with a wide variety of organizations and groups, including the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Consumers Association of Canada, an investment club, “church circles”, bridge clubs, volunteer work as a tour guide for school children at the “living prairie museum” and at the Hadishville Provincial Forestry station.

Once her own kids had “grown”, mom became a helper in the local nursery school, then took her love of nature and kids and began her work with the Manitoba Forestry Association. As Program coordinator for the MFA, she started the “Smoky the Bear” reading club and delivered “Project Learning Tree” in many elementary schools.

She instilled a love of conservation and the outdoors with everyone she met. Mom also had a “green thumb” and kept many plants thriving inside and outside in her garden until her death.

Sixty years ago, Mom and Dad bought a cabin at West Hawk Lake and Mom would move there every summer with kids in tow. She loved to swim and continued on with that love until she was 96 – swimming in chilly West Hawk lake last summer. She said “lake life” was her “health insurance”, which obviously paid off in spades.

Shirley was pre-deceased by her parents, her brother Robert Blackwell and her husband Douglas.

According to Shirley’s wishes, a private service will be held later in the summer in Neepawa, Manitoba where she will be laid to rest next to the love of her life.

Obituary Katherine Helen Anna Horback (nee Jacobsen) Katherine Helen Anna Horback (nee Jacobsen) passed away peacefully in her sleep December 27, 2018 at the age of 58. Kathy, as she was known to all, was born September 14, 1960, in Edmonton, Alberta, forever sharing a birthday with twin brother Kelvin.

Kathy was one of seven children born to Anna and Frits Jacobsen. The family moved to Deloraine in 1961 and then Boissevain, Manitoba, where she first attended school from kindergarten to Grade Two. The Jacobsens finally settled in Brookdale, Manitoba, where Kathy attended school in Brookdale and Neepawa. She graduated from Assiniboine Community College with a diploma in bookkeeping, and shortly thereafter, met the love of her life, Craig Horback. Kathy was employed by the Minnedosa Co-op and Prairie Silage and numerous other jobs.

Craig and Kathy were married in Minnedosa, Manitoba and settled on the family farm near Clanwilliam. Loving her large family and loving to help with the many foster children the Jacobsens helped raise, Craig and Kathy Horback were finally blessed with their own son Frits and daughter Angel. She devoted the rest of her life to Craig, Frits and Angel, as well as helping on the family farm, participating in sports and sharing time with her family and her ever-growing extended family and friends. She was able to watch Frits and Angel grow into adulthood and attend the birth of her grandchild Rikki, daughter of Frits and Sydney.

In addition to golfing and curling with family and friends, Kathy loved reading and spending her spare time in the garden and became well known as a talented creator of bead art.

Obituary Doreen Esther Mauthe

(nee Single) Nov. 1, 1933 - June 1, 2019 Doreen passed away peacefully at the Neepawa Hospital, surrounded by loved ones, on June 1, 2019.

Doreen leaves to mourn her husband Ernest; her children: Laura Frechette, Les Mauthe (Diane), Gerald Mauthe (Dianna), Ralph Mauthe (Karen) and Denise Butler; her grandchildren: Michelle, David, Patrick, Blake, April, Clorissa, Travis, Carson, Tyler, Jill, Allyse, Jeff and Katelyn; her great grandchildren: Jocelyn, Kate, Gerry, Allie, Luke, Lochlan and Doreen’s brother, Harold Single.

She was predeceased by her parents John and Ida Single; her siblings Frieda Dilk, Martha Wutzke, Gottlieb Single, Paul Single and Otto Single.

Doreen was born Nov. 1, 1933 in Waldersee, Manitoba, the youngest of 7 children. After growing up on the family farm, she moved to Winnipeg in 1952, where she worked at the old Concordia hospital as a nurse’s aide. On August 22, 1953, she married Ernest Mauthe and in 1955, they moved back to Waldersee to farm. There, they raised their 5 children and Doreen took on the various tasks of farmlife: being a homemaker, raising the kids, driving grain truck and being part of the Waldersee community. Mom sewed a lot of the clothes for her young family, cared for a large garden, did the canning, milked the cows, chauffeured her kids to various events and prepared great meals and even better desserts! She also loved reading and was a master at knitting and crocheting. Mom curled during the winter months and continued to do so well into her late 70s. Besides being an avid curling fan, she also enjoyed watching the Winnipeg Jets on TV. Mom and Dad moved to Neepawa in 1996, where she once again became involved in the community, volunteering at the Lily Festival, Inner Wheel and Country Meadows. Over the years, they travelled with their camper across Canada, and the USA, including Alaska.

Mom loved her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren.

They brought her great joy and was actively part of their lives.

Doreen will be missed by all those who knew her.

The family would like to thank Dr. Milligan, Dr. Cram, Mary-Ellen Clark and the nursing staff at the Neepawa hospital for the great care during her last days. To those who stayed with Mom overnight when family wasn’t able and to friends, neighbours and family who helped out and came to visit, it meant a lot to Mom and all of us.

Doreen requested that people make donations to the Canadian Cancer Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.

A celebration of Doreen’s life will be held on July 19, 2019, 1:30 pm at the United Church in Neepawa.

Obituary BRUCE FRANCIS With sad hearts we are sharing with family and friends Bruce’s passing on Wednesday, May 29th, 2019, at the Neepawa Hospital.

Bruce was born on August 2, 1934, in East St. Paul, Manitoba, and grew up and lived in the Arden area until 2012. Bruce attended school in Arden, until he decided to work full time on the family farm with his father. He eventually took over the farm and homestead in 1966.

On July 28, 1956, Bruce married the love of his life, Margery Webster. They were blessed with five children Robin, Kerry, Grant, Shauna, Dwayne. They made their first home in the town of Arden, then later moved to the family farm, where they remained until 2012, when they left the farm and moved into Neepawa.

Bruce was very involved with the community. He served on many boards, including the Beautiful Plains School Board, the Neepawa Hospital Board, several terms on the Arden Recreation Committee, including the Lansdowne Centennial Committee in 1984, headed the three school reunion in Arden in 2006, served on the HAND Board in Neepawa for 17 years, served on the local Manitoba Pool Elevator Board, and was a member of the Canadian Wheat Board. Bruce was also the Manager of the Neepawa Blackhawks minor hockey team for many years. Bruce played an integral role in the building of the current three sheets of artificial ice, with the geothermal system, at the Arden Curling Club. He was very proud of this. Bruce loved to give back to his farming and the community!

Bruce loved his family. Nothing was more important to him. He is survived by his wife Marge of 62 years; his son Robin, wife Sherry, granddaughters Brittany and Lyndin; his son Kerry, wife Theresa, granddaughter Teighan, grandson Graham; daughter Shauna, husband Mike, grandsons Jesse and Drew, granddaughter Logan; and son Dwayne, wife Kim, grandsons Mackenzie, Mayson, Nicklaus. He is also survived by his sister Lorraine, and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his son Grant in 1989.

Bruce loved to be outdoors. To get away camping or fishing, or simply cooking a hotdog over a campfire was always a highlight for him. After retirement, Bruce and Marge travelled from coast to coast in Canada, travelled north to Alaska, south to Mexico. They covered it all!

As you can imagine, Bruce made friends all over the country, always taking the time to stop and talk and then keeping in touch after they returned home.

Bruce loved sports, either playing or watching. He curled for many years, some great memories with his team Delmar, Vernon and Ken. He took part in many bonspiels and if he wasn’t playing, he was at the Arden Curling Rink watching. He also loved hockey and watching ball.

He spent countless hours either at a hockey rink or ball diamond watching his kids and grandkids play. Playing cards was also a favourite pastime. He loved a good game of Shanghai rummy with the family, or spending a night playing with friends.

After family, Bruce loved his friends. Bruce made friends wherever he went, always had time to stop and talk.

Once you met him, you were a friend for life. Bruce always made sure he was able to drive around – he loved his trucks and his scooter, he got where he needed to go!

In lieu of flowers and cards, if you wish, a donation can be made to the Municipality of Glenella-Lansdowne in support of Lansdowne Recreation.

We will miss you Bruce, Dad, Grandpa. Love you forever.

The Public Utilities Board is the provincial regulatory agency that reviews and approves rates for water and wastewater utilities in Manitoba, with the exception of the City of Winnipeg. The Board’s review process involves: • the Utility filing a rate application to the Board; • a public notification of proposed rate changes; • the Board’s review of the application through a public hearing or paper review process; and • the issuance of an Order which outlines the Board’s decision on the rate application and the rates to be charged.

The Manitoba Ombudsman has privacy guidelines for administrative tribunals. The Board is mindful of its obligations under those guidelines. Its decisions in respect of the application being considered will be sensitive to the guidelines. Personal information will not be disclosed unless it is appropriate and necessary to do so. However, the Board advises participants that these proceedings are public and that as a result, personal information protections are reduced.

The Board will then decide whether any further notice is required and whether to proceed with a public hearing or paper review process. All concerns received by the Board will be considered in the Board’s decision on rates to be charged.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT IN CONSIDERING THIS APPLICATION, THE PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD MAY OR MAY NOT FIND IT NECESSARY TO DETERMINE RATES DIFFERENT FROM THOSE APPLIED FOR BY THE APPLICANT. Note: All proceedings will be conducted in accordance with the Board’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, which the Board may vary in order to constrain regulatory costs. The Rules are available at www.pubmanitoba.ca.

Preventing and treating tick-borne illnesses Continued from Page 11 Larger animals, such as horses and cattle, should also be treated to prevent ticks. Horses in particular– although rare– can be affected by tick paralysis, disabling their ability to move. According to Neepawa large animal vet clinic, Brydges & Taylor, cattle owners can use a pour-on insecticides which is useful for a vast number of issues, including tick prevention.

All ages mark D-Day anniversary

Continued from Page 9 The crowd was also honoured with Cadet Mateo Otto reciting In Flanders Fields and a haunting rendition of Last Post played on trumpet by Azaria Neuschwander.

Then the laying of wreaths was done against a backdrop of perfectly blue skies, flags held still by color guard Comrades Jeff Mowat, Ross Stewart and Gary Boden and soft voices from the grades 4-12 choir.

Members of the public then took the opportunity to lay a poppy alongside the wreaths, where once again the dramatic age difference was evident, and more than welcomed.

When asked what the day’s events meant to him, Branch #110 president MacLennan emphasized how important a role the Legion plays in supporting Canada’s veterans, and how it also has a role to play in helping educate students. By involving them in events such as this, he hopes they now have a better understanding of how crucial a role our soldiers played on that beach in Normandy 75 years ago.

“When you think about all the sacrifices that military people have made over the years, you know, to ensure that our country is the way that it is, we’re really fortunate,” said MacLennan. “We can look in the mirror and wonder what it might be like if the Germans had won WWII. We might not be sitting here talking right now.”

Banner & Press Outdoor improvements that boost home value

Submitted

Metro Creative Connection

Whether home improvement projects are designed to improve the interior or exterior of a house, focusing on renovations that make the most financial sense can benefit homeowners in the long run. The right renovations can be assets if, and when, homeowners decide to sell their homes.

So, how does one get started? First and foremost, speak to a local real estate agent who is knowledgeable about trends in the community. While a swimming pool may be something coveted in one area, it may impede sales in another. It also helps to study generalized trends and data from various home improvement industry analysts to guide upcoming projects.

The following outdoor projects are just a few renovations that tend to add value.

• Fire pit: A fire pit is a great place to gather most months of the year. Bob Vila and CBS news report that a fire pit realizes a 78 per cent return on investment, or ROI. • Outdoor kitchen: Many buyers are looking to utilize their yards as an extension of interior living areas.

Cooking, dining and even watching TV outdoors is increasingly popular. Outdoor living areas can be custom designed and built.

• Patio: Homeowners who do not already have a patio will find that adding one can increase a home’s value. Patios help a home look neat, add useable space and may help a home to sell quickly. The experts at Space Wise, a division of Extra Space Storage, say that refinishing, repairing and building a new patio offers strong ROI. • Deck: Decks can be as valuable as patios. A deck is another outdoor space that can be used for entertaining, dining and more. Remodeling magazine’s 2019 “Cost vs. Value” report indicates that an $11,000 deck can add about $9,000 in resale value to the home, recouping around 82 per cent

of the project’s costs.

• Door update: Improve curb appeal with a new, high-end front door and garage doors. If that’s too expensive, a good cleaning and new coat of paint can make an old door look brand new. These easy fixes can improve a home’s look instantly.

• New landscaping: The National Association of Realtors says an outdoor makeover that includes wellthought out landscaping can net 105 per cent ROI. Installing a walkway, adding stone planters, mulching, and planting shrubs are ideas to consider.

Many different outdoor projects can add value to a home

Fun times on the farm

PHOTO BY KIRA PATERSON

On Friday, June 7, the Kindergarten classes at Hazel M Kellington School (HMK) in Neepawa had a day of field trips. With over 80 students in Kindergarten, they were split into two groups, with each group spending half the day at Riverside Colony and the other half at Diana and Gerond Davidson’s farm. At the Davidsons’, the kids took a tour of their farmyard. After the tour, Diana helped cool the kids down from the 33°C heat with a misting from the hose. Diana said she enjoys the opportunity to “help kids learn more about realistic farming.”

Support for Major Production

PHOTO BY KIRA PATERSON

On Tuesday, June 11, the Neepawa Banner & Press presented a cheque to the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Major Production to help pay for their production of Once On This Island. The amount donated was 10 per cent of the revenue from ads sold for the Major Production feature pages in the May 3 edition of the Banner & Press.
