Neepawa’s Small Town Carnival took place on July 25. A variety of booths were set up across the downtown area. This young carnival-goer, Macie Kerr, was particularly pleased with the fresh doughnuts the Roxy Theatre was offering. The treats were on sale in front of the theatre.

MEET YOUR

Special guest to visit Miracle Treat Day

By K. Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press

Combining cool treats and a worthy cause, Neepawa residents have always been strong supporters of Dairy Queen’s (DQ) annual Miracle Treat Day. This year, the event will take place on Aug. 8 and Neepawa DQ owner Pam Brown says there’s extra reason celebrate: Neepawa will host the CEO of Dairy Queen International, Troy Bader.

Bader will be at the Neepawa restaurant between 5 and 6 pm, as part of a provincewide tour. “I want him to see what small town Manitoba is all about… I want as many people to meet him as can,” said Brown. There should be lots of people on site, as Bader’s visit will coincide with the day’s entertainment, which begins at 4 pm. Brown said entertainment will include face painting, balloon animals, a petting zoo and an Elvis impersonator. They’ll also have an open mic, giving everyone a chance to perform. “There are so

many people who have talent [in Neepawa],” said Brown adding that performances can showcase any talent, not just singing.

During Miracle Treat Day, the net proceeds from all Blizzards sold are donated to the Children’s Miracle Network, which supports children’s hospitals. For the past decade, Neepawa has been among the province’s top three locations and Brown is hoping to keep that record up this year, maybe even claiming the top spot. “It’s amazing how the community gets so involved,” she said.

Neepawa Film Festival ready for ‘action’ Submitted Neepawa Film Festival Committee

The red carpet is ready and on Aug. 10, the Neepawa Film Festival will showcase close to three hours of local films. For this year’s inaugural event, 11 short films will be screened, all with a connection to within 100 km of Neepawa.

The Neepawa Film Festival is a partnership between two local not-for-profits—NACTV and the Neepawa Theatre Centre (Roxy Theatre). “We have these two fantastic venues, the Roxy Theatre and NACTV, and we wanted to find a way to use them to showcase local talent and local stories,” said NTC chair Kate Jackman-Atkinson. Out of that idea, the film festival was born and the organizing committee began looking for entries and support from local business to make it happen. “We, at NACTV, are excited to be able to be a partner in this venture. Original local television programming is our mandate and this is an amazing opportunity to encourage local film makers/ videographers to share their work,” said Don Walmsley, NACTV board chair, adding, “It’s also an excellent opportunity to showcase our Roxy Theatre as a venue for film and other performance events. There are very few of these venues left in Canada and what better place to watch movies than in an old theatre.”

Variety of entries With the deadline for entries having passed, the committee is pleased with the support they have received. “I’m really impressed with the quality and variety of entries we’ve received and I think the audience will be too,” said Jackman-Atkinson. “We are looking forward to viewing the entries. A big thank you to all who put on this new event and to all who have participated,” added Walmsley.

The entries run from five minutes, up to about a half hour in length and represent a diverse range of subject matter. There are documentaries, in the form of travelogues, personal stories and those about local history.

There are also dramatic entries, featuring both original scripts and historical classics. Entries have come from

filmmakers of all ages, giving both family and friends a chance to work together.

At the festival, the screening will begin at 1 pm, with an intermission around the halfway point. The day’s events will also include a question and answer session with some of the filmmakers in attendance, as well as an awards ceremony.

The prizes will be awarded based on audience voting, with all attendees selecting their top three favourite films in three categories: People’s Choice (all entries), People’s Choice Youth (under 18) and Nod to Neepawa (films about Neepawa).

It wasn’t just the filmmaking community that stepped up to support the festival. “We had a really positive response from the business community, in the form of sponsorships, that made this event possible,” explained Jackman-Atkinson.

The committee is hoping to see a good turn out of people looking to enjoy an afternoon of fantastic local talent, local stories, local people and local locations. “I’d really encourage everyone to come out and see the fantastic entries put together by their friends and neighbours.

It’s inspiring and I think people will really enjoy it,” said Jackman-Atkinson.

Following the festival, the entries will be shown on NACTV for the following year.

Information about the entries and the day’s schedule can be found at www.neepawafilmfest.ca.

In due course

read this morning that, after decades of effort to convert the world away from oil based fuels, little has changed in spite of a reported $1 trillion invested in alternatives to oil. The amount of energy derived from oil remains at 81 per cent.

I am encouraged by cities making it a goal to convert to electric buses. It sounds like a great step forward. In spite of how progressive and modern it sounds, it’s actually a step back to 50 years ago, when buses in cities, like Winnipeg, ran on electricity. In the 1960s, they did away with the almost silent, clean running electric buses and converted to noisy, stinky, diesel powered buses. It seemed dumb at the time and it’s still dumb in hindsight.

All our vehicles “should” be electric, but there is one small problem. Actually, there’s two small problems. Electric vehicles are often still more expensive than diesel and the travel range of electric vehicles is limited. I will quite happily buy and drive an electric van or truck, if it is at or near the price of an gas-powered vehicle and if it would get me to where I need to go, when I need to go. I need to make a few two hour trips, four hours return, each week and occasionally an 8-12 hour trip. Electricity isn’t there yet and certainly not at a price that comes close to gas-powered vehicles.

Price is further complicated by the fact that I, and many others, don’t usually buy a new vehicle.

New, reliable electric vehicles are still rare, but good used ones are almost non-existent.

The change from oil to electricity is slow, very slow, in ground vehicles such as cars, trucks and vans. It is, as yet, almost impossible neepawa

The whole point is that electric powered vehicles will be a real thing some day for a lot of applications.

in ships and planes.

So, no matter how much we might “like” to switch away from oil, nor how much we would “like” to get into electric cars, vans, trucks, buses and trains, the technology isn’t quite there.

It’s mechanically feasible, but not for longer distances or for cold climates. Few people have the time or patience to wait for a re-charge. As one man, who is very familiar with government policy, told me this past week, electric cars are fine if you only have a short commute within the city. The irony of that fact is that if you only have a short commute and don’t need your car while you work, you should probably be taking the electric bus to work.

Oops! The electric buses all were sent to the scrapyard in the ‘60s, to be melted down to make dieselpowered buses.

The whole point is that electric powered vehicles will be a real thing some day for a lot of applications. Oil use will likely diminish and use of electricity will rise. If it

is water driven turbines that generate the electricity, it will be good for Manitoba, both environmentally and economically. If it takes more oil or coal fired generation, then perhaps it won’t be so good for a particular region.

We must not get swept up by all the environmental alarmists who are claiming impending doom will fall on all our heads.

Ironically, the alarmists don’t mind driving or flying to their rallies of righteousness to inform us of our impending doom. The switch to electricity will come, in due course, and in its own logical economic path. We will likely get there, but we must not bankrupt our personal, nor national finances to do so.

A balance

mall businesses drive the rural economy, but are we doing enough to support them? Last week, Manitoba Liberal leader Dougald Lamont said, “no” and announced his party’s buy local policy. Part of their election platform, it would be a combination of advertising and changes to make it easier for local businesses to sell to the Manitoba government. It’s a policy with merit.

The advertising component would involve a partnership with chambers of commerce to MY develop a marPERSPECTIVE keting and advertising campaign to encou r a ge pride in spend- Kate ing money with Jackman-Atkinson local providers of services, products, tourism, sports or entertainment. In supporting this initiative, Lamont pointed to research by the American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA), which showed that effective shop local campaigns can increase sales by 7 per cent.

Perhaps the larger part would be an increased focus on making it so that Manitoba-based businesses are awarded more government contracts. He’s on to something, there have been a few high profile cases where large government contracts were awarded to out of province companies, at the expense of local businesses. For example, when the province released the request for proposals in order to issue recreational cannabis licenses, small, local businesses were shut out of the process. Then there was the contract to provide medication to 104 rural personal care homes, which was awarded to a company owned by Shopper’s Drug Mart. These medications had been provided by local pharmacies, an essential and vital business in many small towns.

I understand the benefits of going with a larger organization, you’re guaranteed standardization and it’s easier to administer. I also appreciate a government looking for ways to keep costs down. But let’s not forget that Manitoba-based companies pay Manitoba taxes, and while the government may be focused on the cost, there’s also an income side to awarding a contract. An effort should be made to support Manitoba businesses; contracts can be awarded by region, or standards can be set and enforced, both of which would give smaller businesses a chance to participate. In most cases, RFPs shouldn’t be structured so they exclude Manitoba businesses.

There are limits to what the provincial government can do because of our free trade agreements, which also give Manitoba companies the chance to expand their markets. While the western provinces have signed the New West Partnership, creating free trade for government contracts, the agreement does allow for exemptions. These include the procurement of health and social services; services provided by lawyers and notaries; purchases from philanthropic institutions, prison labour or persons with disabilities; purchases from a public body or non-profit organization; goods purchased for representational or promotional purposes; goods, services or construction required to respond to an unforeseeable situation of urgency and goods intended for resale to the public.

We want fairness, but tender requests should at least consider the impact on local businesses. Other New West partners have explicit policies that allow them to favour their businesses. For example, the Saskatchewan government has said that vehicles with Alberta licence plates are not allowed on job sites for Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure projects. These restrictions were in response to similar regulations in place in Alberta, with respect to vehicles bearing Saskatchewan plates.

There are other barriers that can make it hard for Manitoba companies to bid, let alone be awarded government contracts.

Improving things like uncertain timelines and the delays in payment governments are known for could help encourage smaller companies to bid on jobs. All large companies were once small and I think the provincial government owes it to its citizens to remove as many roadblocks as possible. There is a way to balance both free trade and economic development.

A radical change

bout 15 weeks ago, I made a decision that significantly changed my reading, viewing and listening habits.

I began cutting back on the negativity, extremism, prejudice and fear-mongering that entered my home and car through radio and television, popped up on my computer screen or dominated the front pages of major newspapers.

I stopped watching TV news channels, listening to talk radio and buying daily papers. News apps were deleted from my cell phone and computer. All presets on my car radio are now set to music and inspirational channels.

Those cutbacks were easy. Controlling what comes to me via social media has been more of a challenge– especially when some of the items that offend and anger me most have been posted by close relatives. Blocking or unfriending a family member isn’t a good idea.

So I block the source of the shared item instead. It takes a little longer to rid

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein my news feed of content I choose not to see, but it can be done. Some things will be retained. I love the communities in which I live and work, so I will always read the local papers and follow local news feeds on social media. And, when elections are called, I will vote for the candidate who, in my view, is best qualified to represent all the residents of this area, whatever their political convictions may be.

Please understand that I am not cutting myself off from the information network. I can still access all the facts I need to make informed decisions on issues of the day. I’m just tired of reading material that features one group bashing those who don’t agree with them. I want to see, hear and read stories about people who work hard and make

positive contributions to the life and health of their communities.

Complainers, with their complaints, can be found in every coffee shop, on every street corner and behind every tree. But for every complainer, there are at least two people who have the wisdom and insight needed to offer practical solutions to society’s ills.

Unfortunately, they are often ignored, mocked, put down or silenced completely because they don’t support the political, social or economic policies of those in power. But the measures enacted by those in power propose don’t help. They leave us with higher taxes, larger deficits and no lasting solutions to the critical issues we face.

There has to be a better way– and there is. God has

given it to us. Hatred, rejection and holding grudges need to be replaced with love, acceptance and forgiveness. The “us against them; we are right and they are wrong” philosophy that governs every part of society needs to die and be given the undignified burial it deserves.

In its place, I propose that we become a society that encourages people to be the best they can be and do the best they can do. Let’s reward those who have good ideas that can help make our world better and who are working to inspire those around them to be and do their best. They deserve our admiration and praise.

Finally, let’s send a clear message to those who want to spread negativity, pessimism and fear. If you have ideas that will help us fix the problems you’ve identified, let’s hear them. But if all you want to do is complain and stir up dissent, division and hate, keep quiet! We’ve had enough of that. We’re no longer listening to you. We want to hear from those who have positive ideas to share.

Not the place for politicking

“Trudeau is just the worst!”

MP for Portage Lisgar, Candice Bergen, was in Miami, MB to read to the children, when she and a teacher held up the above worded sign. Even our severely malnourished education system has most children reading for themselves by grade 3, so I assume the sign was displayed to children 8 years and under. At this age, most kids know bad people steal, kill and/or hurt people. Yet here, as part of their education, they are told that our country's leader, duly elected, is the worst of all the bad people.

If you don't know where this is going, substitute the name Singh or Kinew in place of Trudeau and you have hate crime. Better still, substitute Scheer, Pallister, Ford or Kenney and listen to the fully justified screams from Conservatives across the country. I'm sure you will agree that this kind of political crap should never be foisted on impressionable elementary school children.

If the Conservative party has any semblance of a conscience, Ms. Bergen's membership should be cancelled immediately. Teacher Unruh's credentials should also undergo a critical review.

There's a place for politicking, but elementary school is not it.

Leonard Paramor Arden, MB Note: This incident occurred earlier this year, in Feburary.

Warm camping memories HOMEBODIES

Rita Friesen tents and campers were to be on the gravelled pad, for the sprinklers were set to activate at three, of the AM. With deep sighs of resignation, our kids moved their tents. Under duress, I might add. Our vigilance and nagging paid off when, at three of the morn, a unit that pulled in and set up late, was in utter disarray!

Parental tones instructed the youth to get the **** into the cab of the truck.

Sleeping bags and hoodies adorned the picnic tables the next morning.

The kids, and then the grands, wanted to sleep outside. Without fail, I assisted in the set up, dragging everything required to the far corner of the yard, know-

ing that before the night was well started, some, or all, would slink into the house.

It didn’t help that the lads tormented the lasses with eerie noises and scratching sounds. It didn’t help that wind rustling the leaves can sound threatening, or an acorn falling on a tent can be terrifying. There was the night the grandsons, probably eight and nine, scared themselves silly with their imaginings. The bravado of the supper talk was long gone, very little said on their sheepish return.

There was/is always the dream of isolation camping.

Pitching a tent, or stretching a tarp, small cosy fire keeping darkness at bay, insects away and roasting

a marshmallow or three.

Sitting long in the lingering twilight, possibly the call of a loon, not the cry of a coyote. Poems have been written and pictures painted of such ideals. They do exist, and not just in dreams and imaginations!

The reality is that our family camping trips have involved a parade of ants, causing full grown adults to weep in frustration and despair, luggage and stuff too close to the tent surface, drawing and admitting the rain, and, with boys in the mix, horrific noises and gases. Waking up in the morning with a sun warmed tent, too warmed, stumbling off to the biffy in the dark of night, stubbing toes and offering curses to the darkness. Camping has come a long way, for many much more comfortable and glamorous. My hope is that the stories told and the memories created be as warming.

A

pup tent pitched in a back yard and the memories began. I can’t recall the first tent I ever slept in, or owned, but I do remember the experiences of camping. Tenting 101 involved a heavy canvas sucker, top poles and corner poles and side poles. And if that rascal got wet, it was a heavy, unyielding monster.

It was spacious enough, certainly had the headroom, and somehow, with all the coming and goings, it was never mosquito free. The whisper of wings and then the silence.

The tent with which I am most familiar slept five– theoretically six– but really? The excursions that required the big tent always had one or two pup tents alongside, or near by.

There was the time we were family camping at Moose Jaw. The campers were set up, as were the pup tents. The last one to the washroom came back sharing the news that ALL

Wales

Wales is part of the United Kingdom, bordered by England to its east, the Irish Sea to its north and west, and the Bristol Channel to its south. Home to the mythical King Arthur, Wales is a country full of natural beauty, known for its rugged coastline, mountainous national parks, distinctive language and Celtic culture. Wales has its own government, the National Assembly for Wales, which governs certain aspects of Welsh life, including health and education. In other matters (taxation, foreign policy, criminal law, etc.) Wales is governed by the UK parliament based in London. Wales does not issue its own currency, nor have its own armed forces, as these are governed from the UK. English and Welsh are the two official language, with Welsh being spoken by over 20 per cent of the people. With more than 600 castles to explore, Wales has more castles per square mile than any other country in the world. With “Wales Trails,” one can explore the country by cycle or on foot. Beautiful gardens are scattered the length and breadth of Wales. The Brecon Beacons National Park has Europe’s largest cave system, Mynydd Llangatwg, the UK’s longest and largest cave, Dan-yr-Ogof, as well as the deepest cave, Ogof Fynnon Ddu (308 meters). Wales is a welcoming country, with its friendly people greeting around 10 million people a year. Tourism is a large industry there.

The Welsh are descendants of the ancient inhabitants of Britain, known as Celts.

Because the country is rugged with high mountains, deep valleys, extensive woods, rivers and marshes, other invaders could not entirely subdue them. This allowed them to retain aspects of the Celtic culture that are markedly different from those of its English neighbours. Their language, a Brythonic branch of Celtic speech, formed the basis of modern Welsh. The letters K, Q, V and Z do not appear in the Welsh alphabet. While visiting Wales, we found the names of towns lengthy and unpronounceable. Believed to be the longest place name in the world, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochis a Welsh village name, which translates roughly as “St Mary’s Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave”. Wrap your tongue around that! Wales is often called “the land of song” and the country is known for its harpists, male choirs and solo artists.

Famous people from Wales include Richard Burton, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Shirley Bassey, Timothy Dalton and Monty Python comedian and film director, Terry Jones. Roald Dahl, the world famous children’s author of so many endearing tales, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and The BFG, was born and lived in Wales.

Welsh food is usually made from local ingredients. Award winning cheeses grace the tables in Wales, as well as many root vegetables. Due to poor soil, unsuitable for much crop-growing, livestock has been a large part of farming. The population of sheep in Wales is four times greater than the people population, so lamb is the favourite meat.

River, lake and sea fish and shellfish, such as salmon, brown trout, white crab, lobsters and cockles, are readily available. Leeks, the national emblem of Wales, are grown everywhere and are used in soups, stews, casseroles and as vegetables. Baking also lies at the heart of traditional Welsh cooking: breads, scones, biscuits and cakes are widely available. Bara Brith (fruit cake), the Welsh cake (flat scones) and Bara Ceirch (oat bread) are famous examples. Then, there is the Welsh delicacy, Laver bread, which is not a bread at all. It’s a traditional delicacy made from laver seaweed. The washed and dried seaweed is transformed into a pulpy mass by boiling for 10 hours. It smells of the sea, can be eaten as is, on bread, or mixed with oatmeal and fried for breakfast.

According to one legend, the leek was associated with St. David, the Patron Saint of Wales. It tells how St. David ordered his soldiers to wear the leek on their helmets in a battle against the Saxon invaders of Britain, so they knew who the enemy was. They won the battle and even today leeks are worn by every member of a Welsh regiment on St David’s Day. Today our leeks will be served in soup.

Leek and potato soup 2 Tbsp. butter 1 bay leaf 4-5 leeks, trimmed, washed and finely sliced 1/2 tsp. thyme 2 stalks celery, diced 1 cup cream 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced 8 oz. Stilton cheese, crumbled, or cheese 2 litres chicken broth of choice 1 tsp salt chopped parsley for garnish 1/2 tsp. pepper, or to taste In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely shredded leeks and the celery and sauté for several minutes. Add the diced potato, the stock, salt, pepper, bay leaf and thyme and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. Using a handheld blender, blend the soup to create a smooth soup. Add the cream, the Stilton and blend again.

Gently warm up. Pour the soup into warmed soup bowls and garnish with a bit of chopped parsley.

Canadian fiddle champion heading to Harvest Sun An interview with Patti Kusturok

By Janet Adamana Submitted North American Fiddlers’ Hall of Famer and champion fiddle player, Patti Kusturok will be wowing audiences with her highly-entertaining and energetic show at this year’s Harvest Sun Music Festival in Kelwood August, 16 to 18. The renowned musician’s style melds old-time fiddle with a contemporary feel and upbeat vibes: a recipe guaranteed to make you dance.

Patti spoke with us about her career highlights, first learning to play, and the importance of having a local festival like Harvest Sun. • Ca n you t a ke me through your musical journey? What inspired you to start playing the fiddle?

“I started with the Suzuki method at the age of four. My parents always had fiddle music playing in the house and car, and at age six, I was able to play my first fiddle tune. My mom asked my Suzuki teacher if he could give me some oldtime fiddle tunes, but at that time, there was no room for that in the program. So, they found another teacher who allowed me to continue with my technical training and also let me play fiddle tunes. My dad was a bit of a fiddler and my grandfather on my mom’s side was an accordion player from Scotland.”

•Can you talk a bit about your style of fiddling? It’s very high-energy, upbeat and almost poppy, at times.

“I started playing for dances in my teens and credit my style to that. I seem to swing everything I play and that all stems from playing to make people dance. When I was growing up and going to competitions locally, we always had fiddling and jigging contests. I took up jigging and my mom also made me

learn how to dance as a very young child. I think that all contributes.”

•You’ve been a big part of Manitoba’s fiddle community for some time now, what are some of your favourite career highlights so far?

“When I was young, I was fortunate to have met and played with some of my idols, like Reg Bouvette, Marcel Meilleur and Graham Townsend. Graham produced and played on some of my earlier records, and Reg and I recorded an album together when I was 16. As for career highlights, I’m just happy to be able to be making a living doing this!”​ •For those who will be seeing you perform for the first time, what can they expect from your Harvest Sun set?

“Well, Jeremy Rusu is a huge part of my show. I call him my ‘secret weapon.’

He plays accordion, piano and guitar in the show, and loves to entertain. Because our music has no lyrics, we

chose a repertoire that has a story to tell and engage with our audience that way. And of course, you can expect to want to dance!”

•Why do you think a festival like Harvest Sun is essential to have in Manitoba, especially for those in the folk music scene?

“A small town festival like Harvest Sun is wonderful for artists who enjoy experiencing a tight-knit community. The artists are close to the audience and there is plenty of opportunities to meet and visit, talking to old friends and making new ones. I loved it my first time and can’t wait to come back!”

•What are you most excited about in regards to playing Harvest Sun? “The thing I appreciate and am most thrilled about is that Harvest Sun is in my home province. Often times, artists have to travel far and wide for work and being able to show the locals what we do is a lot of fun.”

Welcome to the Agro Centre Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op holds grand opening for new facility

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Creates new efficiencies Melnyk noted to the Banner & Press that both personnel and customers alike are very pleased with having all the agro service now located at a single site.

“We’re very excited, of course. We were in desperate need of some new facilities. I know that staff are very happy to come to work in the morning. We’ve actually been here at the site for a month or so, and we’ve sure noticed a difference in morale. Even the customers have commented about coming into a great facility.

It’s worth the trip

AERIAL PICTURE PROVIDED BY NEEPAWA-GLADSTONE CO-OP

It was time to upgrade and we were able to get it done,” stated Melnyk. “It creates a huge amount of efficiencies, instead of having to have staff jumping from location to location. This saves man-power, time, equipment costs and everything else. That’ll help with the profitability as well. As far as the customers, I think they’ll find it a lot more convenient if they need to pick up something or have it delivered.”

Co-op general manager Brian Hedley congratulated Agro division manager Rob Melnyk and Neepawa Agro manager Anne Walsh on their commitment to the new facility and assemblance of a strong agro staff team, both here and in Gladstone. Hedley added that there is lots of room for future expansion.

“We’ve been dreaming of something like this for an awful lot of years. So it’s nice to see stage one of it come to be. We’ve got a few more projects to add out here,” said Hedley. “When we first started planning the site, size wise, I believe on 12 acres, it was probably twice what we’d bought in the past, just for the idea that, ‘Let’s get it developed.’ We have room for our dry fertilizer

Local volunteers recently installed a new bridge to cross a dry gully on the Rosedale Farm Trail. This improvement is expected to increase the enjoyment of the summer beauty of the trail.

Several years of painstaking planning and construction have finally come to fruition for the NeepawaGladstone Co-op’s new Agro Centre. The facility, which is located a few kilometres east of Neepawa, held its official grand opening on Wednesday, July 24.

The Agro Centre will serve as a centralized location for area farmers to purchase their crop input needs and procure other agronomy services. It’s located on 12 acres of property, with about eight acres already developed, and features eight full time employees and 12-15 seasonal employees. Bulk petroleum services are also available at this location, which includes an additional four fulltime employees and some seasonal drivers. The total cost of the construction is estimated at just over $3 million.

A large contingent of Co-op members and local dignitaries attended the event, which featured tours of the buildings, a barbecue and a ribbon cutting ceremony. Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op Agro division manager Rob Melnyk served as the master of ceremonies for the day. He thanked those in attendance for their support throughout this process. The R.M. of North Cypress-Langford, R.M. councillor Malcolm Murray, former land-owner Rick Sumner and the local contractors involved with the construction were also singled out for their contributions.

Looking Back 1979: Neepawa Chicken Corral nearing completion 8 NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Tuesday, August 3, 1909 Premier McBride, of British Columbia, has announced the intention of his government to take a plebiscite on the liquor question.

100 years ago, Friday, August 1, 1919 “Smiler” arrived yesterday from overseas military service.

Lieut. Elmer Harper arrived on Thursday from military service in France.

He spent a month with his father at Roseneath, Ont., en route home.

Harry Wagstaff returned to town on Wednesday after spending three years overseas with the Canadian Army.

Race riots in Chicago were quelled by the militia, with a dozen casualties.

Note: The summer of 1919, in which the Chicago race riots occurred, was known as the “Red Summer.” There were steadily growing tensions due to increasing anti-imigration and anti-black sentiments. The white supremacist/fascist group known as the KKK had also revived violent activities in the south in 1918, which led to 64 recorded lynchings that year and 83 in 1919.

The specific incident that sparked the 1919 riots was the drowning of a black teenager in L ake Michigan . T he teen, Eugene Williams, had violated what was an unofficial segregation of the beach when he went swimming with his friends and crossed the barrier. He was stoned by white people occupying the “white’s only” side of the beach, causing him to drown.

Police officers arrived on the scene, but refused to arrest the man whom multiple black eyewitnesses pointed out as the person responsible.

Violence later broke out, with militia called in on the fourth day after police could not quell the riots. Eventually, shootings, beatings and arson left 15 white people and 23 black people dead and an additional 1,000 black families homeless after rioters had torched their residences.

These riots were the beginning of a growth in willingness among black Americans to fight for their rights, standing up to oppression and injustice.

90 years ago, Tuesday, August 2, 1929 Some motorists, apparent ly under t he misapprehension that the cemetery was equipped

with two gates standing side-by-side, or else desirous of going as far with their own funeral as possible, crashed through the cemetery fence on Tuesday night. They apparently realized their mistake after entering and took the “first” gate out, leaving it open.

80 years ago, Tuesday, August 1, 1939 Five thousand Jews have been ordered to leave Styria, a province in Austria.

It has been ruled in t he Br it ish House of Commons that the word “damn” may not be used in parliamentary debate, but that “damnable” is all right.

Danzig authorities have appointed a committee to speed liquidation of Jewish businesses, check specu lat ion in Jew ish property and prevent its absorption by Poles.

A board enquiring into the activities of Germans in different parts of Canada has found that a great percentage of naturalized Germans are anxious to retain their Canadian citizenship. Not many are returning to Germany and boycotts and insults reported against Germans cannot be verified.

70 years ago, Thursday, August 4, 1949 Walter Sobodian and Keit h Par t a ker, loca l swimmers, acted quickly to rescue a young district boy last Wednesday at the Riverbend Park Swimming Pool. Clarence Kohinski, who was attending the big community picnic, went into the water and found himself in difficulties, disappearing below the surface. The Neepawa boys quickly pulled him to the bank.

60 years ago, Friday, August 7, 1959 The Health League of Canada issues a summer warning sig na l to a l l holidayers who are going into areas where pasteurized milk is not available.

The sale of raw milk is legal in many parts of Canada, says the League, and raw milk can bear the germs of infantile diarrhoea, diphtheria, tuberculosis, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, undulant fever and scarlet fever, and septic sore throat.

If no pasteurized milk is available, holidayers can pasteurize milk themselves by bringing the raw milk to

the boiling point in a double boiler, and then cooling it rapidly.

50 years ago, Thursday, August 7, 1969 Ottawa– Canad ians today were invited to “Put Your Name in Space” by taking part in a national competition to choose a name for Canada’s domestic communications satellite…

The satellite, for which the public will choose the name through the competition, is scheduled to become operational early in 1972 and to extend live television and modern telecommunications to the under-developed regions of Canada, particularly the nor th, as wel l as supplement ex ist i ng e a s t- w e s t m i c r o w av e telecommun icat ions systems.

40 years ago, Thursday, August 2, 1979 Construction is prog ressing “r ight on schedule” on Neepawa’s newest restaurant, the Chicken Corral, says coowner Wayne Hollier...

The restaurant’s three owners, John Antonik, Lloyd Cavers and Wayne Hollier are pleased to see the building at this stage...

T he rest aura nt is tentatively set to open the first week in September.

30 years ago, Tuesday, August 1, 1989 … Recently the Lorne Kilburn and Elwood Clark families celebrated 100 years of family farming.

In 1889, Lorne’s great grandfather, Albert Clark, began farming at the Springhill District.

A rthur K ilburn homesteaded the southwest quarter of section 19, township 15, range 15, in the municipality of Rosedale.

His son, Goodw in, continued farming after his father’s death in 1906. In 1928, Goodwin’s son, Cliff, took over the farm when he married Reta Newell…

During his many years of farming, Cliff experienced the rise and fall of the

agricultural economy. The most difficult times were during the ‘dirty thirties’.

He recalls burning 120 acres of wheat because it was rusted; 10 acres of oats were salvaged.

“We couldn’t afford both tea and sugar at the same time. We never milked more than six cows at a time, but my wife Reta churned butter and we sold it and that’s what we lived on. Most of the time it was 25 cents a pound, but one time we only got 10 cents for it.”...

After 34 years of farming, Cliff sold the farm to his son, Lorne. Cliff and Reta retired to Neepawa, but Cliff continued to operate some machinery.

There have been many changes in the agriculture scene during the past century. Initially, horses were replaced by small tractors were replaced by bigger ones…

Met hods of ma k ing farm payments have also changed.

Conquering the world Basketball court upgrades are a slam dunk with beauty

up,” she said, explaining that she likes to make sure clients can see every step of the application process.

One of her favourite parts is when she gains her client’s trust and she sees them letting their guard down. She also enjoys helping customers select the right products and educating them about seasonal changes to their skin care and make up regime. For example, in summer, products should have sun protection, while in winter, the challenge is to combat dryness. “I like to give people tips to try,” she explained. “I’m very patient and informative,” she said, adding that she

wants to make sure her clients understand the process and can ask any questions, including those about skin care.

So far, the response from the community has been good. “People have been really accepting,” said Williston, who has approached area salons asking if they would display her business card. Ultimately, Williston’s goal is to grow the business into a full time job.

“I’m very enthusiastic and I really love my job,” she said. Williston, and her work, can be found on Instagram under @ kreative_kreationz1 (Zee’s Glam Studio).

The call for more recreation options in Neepawa has been heard, as the basketball court at Hillcrest Estates has received some much needed upgrades.

New nets, backboards and poles were recently installed at the court, which is located in the park behind the intersection of Parkview Drive and Manawaka Drive.

The concrete was originally paid for and installed

by Hillcrest, while Grant “Hymie” Hurrell provided the orginal nets and backboards.

A ceremony to inaugurate the upgrades was held on Friday, July 26. During the event, Langford Recreation District board members Susan Kohinski and Jamie Ellis presented the Town of Neepawa with a cheque for $1,000.

Eden Soccer knows how to kick it!

Kohinski and Ellis noted to the Banner & Press that these types of projects are exactly the type of thing that the Commission enjoys throwing its support into.

Neepawa Mayor Blake McCutheon said that the installation of the new hoops at Hillcrest are something the Town is pleased to see completed.

“This works out perfectly to put these upgrades in here at Hillcrest.” said McCutgeon “The rec committee report shows that basketball is the number one priority for what people wanted to see in this town.”

M

From when she was little, Zahara Williston has wanted to help people look their best. “I always said when I was young, ‘I want to conquer the world with beauty’”, said the Neepawa resident and owner of Zee’s Glam Studio.

Williston has been involved in the beauty industry for a long time and owned and operated a studio and salon in her homeland of Jamaica. “I did hair, nails, massages,” she said of her former businesses, but not make up.

After moving to Canada about two and a half years ago, she decided makeup artistry was a skill she wanted to add and enrolled in a course. Williston officially started her business two months ago and offers services as a make up artist and cosmetologist.

ov e m ba o t i an

For the future, patrons of the basketball court are asked not to park on the grass or block driveways.

It’s suggested that people use the parking lot available at the Water Treatment Plant on McGill Street and then take the walking path across.

Meanwhile, a 3-on-3 community basketball tournament has been planned at for Sunday, Aug. 18. It’ll feature a maximum of eight teams with a $60 sign in per team. Additional details on the upcomimng event can be found at the Town of Neepawa website.

Types of carpet materials

By Metro Creative Connection Submitted Carpet can add warmth and texture to a room and also provide a little bit of soundproofing. Underfoot, carpeting can be more comfortable than other types of flooring, even though it may require more upkeep. Carpet comes in various forms, but here are the main material components.

• Nylon: This is one of the most durable and stain-resistant carpet fibers available and a popular choice among many homeowners.

• Polyester: Carpeting can be made from polyester, which is fashioned to feel and look luxurious.

• Olefin: Olefin is made from polypropylene or polyethylene. It is prized for its strength, resistance to staining and colorfastness. It is often suited well to loop pile or high, dense cut piles.

• Wool: Wool is durable, albeit less resistant to soiling than some other materials. However, because it is an all-natural material, it is prized by people who want natural beauty.
