Hello and goodbye

Jarvis Meats in Gladstone changes hands after 35 years of service

By Cassandra Wehrhahn

Neepawa Banner & Press

The deal has been sealed!

As of July 28, Marj and Garth Jarvis of f icially turned Jarvis Meats Ltd. over to Smile Pinoy Foods.

The pair owned and operated the business for nearly 35 years, following its purchase from Ron Douglas, in September, 1985.

Smile Pinoy Foods has f ive partners– couples– each with their own experience and skills. Elika “Eli” Canete explained that, back in the Philippines, working with Smile is a very mixed profession, with one partner specializing in cutting and selling pork products.

In Canada, the majority of Smile’s employees, and partners, have prior experience in the meat industry from working at HyLife.

This Canadian branch was established two years ago, with the business starting to process their own products last year.

“It’s a whole bag of emotions because I’m really going to miss our customers; Our clients have become a part of our family,” Marj Jarvis relayed. “There’s joy, apprehension, all sorts of emotions rolling around.”

The sale doesn’t mean that Jarvis’ services will disappear, though. The new owner, Eli Canete, and the group from Smile Foods, which has been operating in Gladstone since 2017, is going to continue the services Jarvis Meats offered.

“We’re not eliminating anything. We’re going to continue whatever the Jarvis family has been doing, and then we are going to make some more improve-

ments,” Canete explained.

“Not only on the things that they are doing– but to cater to all the customers that would like to have special, customized cutting and slaughtering.”

Jarvis added that Smile Foods has bought the rights to all of the Jarvis Meats sausage and curing recipes, so customers who have a Jarvis favorite will still be able to purchase it.

“It’s nice to still have this business be part of the community,” Jarvis enthused, adding that it won’t just be the same, “They have some really wonderful products to offer the customers as well. I’m looking forward to them being able to do that” C a net e s h a r e d h i s thoughts on the business’ future with the Banner & Press, stating, “We’d like to expand the business, first on the food process that Jarvis Meats left. We’d like to expand it not only in

Manitoba, but also outside Manitoba. We’d like to expand our products as well to offer more for the Filipinos and the Canadians.”

Canete added, “there’s been more small businesses– meat shops and slaughtering businesses– closing because there isn’t any interest from their families to pursue it. So it’s a good opportunity for us to help Manitoba, and Canada itself, to expand

this business and developing more products to share with Canadians.”

Positive response Both Jarvis and Canete remarked that the response from the community has been quite positive. The two have received many messages of congratulations and thanks for the Jarvis’ services were expressed following the deal.

“We have some fears,

because we have to show [the community] that the Jarvis activities here in Gladstone– that we can surpass them,” Canete divulged. “But we’re very much overwhelmed by the response from the community.”

“And any feedback I’ve gotten has been positive,” Jarvis added.

The Jarvis family is sticking around for a few weeks to lend a helping hand

during the transition. But it won’t end there. Marj and Garth have offered to provide advice and lend a helping hand whenever it’s needed.

Marj Jarvis extended her thanks to the community for making the past 35 years years so wonderful. “thirty-five years has gone by really quickly. I am so grateful that this community has accepted us and made us a successful business over the years,” Jarvis expressed. “[The business is] like our baby but it’s their baby now. The baby’s moved on to a new home.”

This is actually the fourth owner of the Jarvis Meats building over 60 years.

Jarvis hopes that it will continue on for 60 more.

All are welcome to attend the Jarvis Meats and Smile Foods “Hello, Goodbye” reception on Aug. 10, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the former Jarvis Meats store, located at 77 Dennis St., in Gladstone. All those in attendance will have a chance to say hello to the new owners, goodbye to the Jarvis family and to have a taste of freshly prepared foods that Smile has to offer.

Carberry was host to actors and a film crew on July 29. Sections of Main Street were blocked off periodically throughout the day as the shooting process was carried out. The scenes shot in that town are for a sci-fi movie entitled “The First Encounter”. The film is written and directed by Metis Canadian Benjamin Ross Hayden, and explores a world in which colonization never happened. It will be a multilingual, feature length film.

In the Aug. 2 edition of the Banner & Press, in the Hayden is also known for “The Northlander” and article “Welcome to the Agro Centre”, there were “Agophobia”. several individuals acknowledged for their support in

Words are important S

ome older people may remember a school textbook by the name of “Words are Important”. It’s true, words are important.

It is sad to see how words and phrases have been downgraded over the years Canada has always been called a land of opportunity in a very positive way. Why then, has the word “opportunist” become so negative. People will disparagingly say,”He’s nothing but an opportunist.” Being an opportunist is, and should be, a good attribute but it has been trampled into the mud. Have to wonder if it jealousy, wrapped in laziness that has brought this negative reaction?

Back in the day, when I was a politician, people would ask, again negatively, ”Why do you want to be a politician?” I would answer that I wanted to be a politician to serve the community and I would make no apology for being a politician. I would say I am a good politician and quite frankly, I believe I was a good politician.

I worked hard at it and so did my wife and many supporters. I spoke reasonably well and I believe I served well. I feel reasonably good about the two times I served as mayor of Neepawa. I wasn’t as successful at the provincial and federal level, but I learned a lot and at times, that experience has paid off for our community and region. The words I spoke and wrote over the years have, in a small way, contributed to the successes of this region.

I also have no illusions of grandeur as the roles I have played could have been filled by any of dozens of other people.

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell bad use of words and the use of bad words. We all use words sloppily and often with very negative intent and effects. It’s not uncommon to hear anger expressed as, “I could have killed them.” Manifested to its literal extent, that threatening sentiment has resulted in thousands of deaths in mass shootings over the decades. If words are important, then we have to treat them that way.

Back in the day, and maybe to some extent today, a child would be scolded for saying they were going to “kill” somebody or even some living creature. When a large percentage of people were farm based, they knew the real meaning of kill. You killed chickens, hogs or cattle for food.

Kill was a real and meaningful word. Killing is final and farm folks knew that as fact.

So was death a real and meaningful word, as in addition to the death of elderly people, most families had felt the sting of infants dying, mothers lost in childbirth and fathers dying in accidents.

Families in the 1900s knew all too well about family members dying at the battle front. Death was taken seriously.

Today, not so much, as killing and death is glorified or trivialized. TV shows, movies and video games depict death as fun,

glorious and thrilling. There is a detachment from reality and one has to wonder if many murders and mass shootings are rooted in a sick thrill search set apart from reality.

The same slippage in the value of words can be attached to how loosely society speaks about sexual assault. Sexual assault has always been wrong, and always will be, but it’s hard to tell today by the way the music and entertainment industry seem to claim rights to unconstrained sexual assault.

It is hugely old fashioned to say that sexual activity was meant to be between two people in a life long commitment, but it’s a true ideal. I didn’t create that ideal.

Neither did the Muslim, Jewish or Christian or many other faith groups God did.

Words are hugely important because they illuminate intentions and conduct. If we truly want better outcomes from our intentions and our conduct, perhaps we should choose our words more carefully.

Meaty topic

n North America, Beyond Meat and other plant based protein products are getting all of the publicity, as the shiny new option in a sea of changing diets. The fact remains that livestock production is an important part of the Canadian economy, accounting for just under half of Canadian farms. Should livestock producers be worried? To answer requires looking at the larger picture— beyond the the domestic MY market.

According to PERSPECTIVE the 2016 Census of Agriculture, Canada was home to about Kate 36,000 beef catJackman-Atkinson tle operations, 10,0 0 0 da i r y fa r m s , 2,0 0 0 chicken egg products farms, 2,100 meat-type chicken operations, 3,300 hog farms and 3,000 sheep and goat farms, out of a total of 193,000 farms.

Looking at exports, meat isn’t in decline. For the cattle industry, Statistics Canada figures show that Canada exported $2.75 billion (398,580 tonnes) of beef, a figure that represented 38 per cent of the value of the domestic slaughter market. In the hog sector, 2018 saw 21.4 million pigs go to Canadian plants, while we exported 5.3 million head. The value of all pork exports totalled $3.9 billion last year.

Who is buying our products? Canada’s largest trade partner when it comes to beef and veal is the United States. From January to May of 2019, our southern neighbours purchased over 126 million kg, 12 per cent more than in that same time period last year. While the US is our largest trading partner, accounting for $933 billion in exports in this year’s first five months, they’re not our only partner.

Japan is our second larger trading partner, buying 18.5 million kg of product this year. That’s not a lot compared to the US, but it was 77 per cent more than in 2019. It’s a similar story across Asia and Africa, with China, South Korea, Angola and Cote D’Ivoire buying more Canadian beef: reporting an increase of 336 per cent, 69 per cent, 89 per cent and 78 per cent respectively.

With pork, exports were down in the first half of 2019, compared to 2018, except to China. Our largest trading partner for pork products, China accounts for about 35 per cent of Canada’s export market and its increase in purchases were enough to register an overall increase, compared to 2018, in both weight and value of exports. This won’t carry of for the rest of the year though, as China halted all pork exports on June 25.

Trade disputes aside, this is part of a larger trend— residents of developing countries eat more meat as they get wealthier. Developed countries used to drive growth, but now, consumption is relatively flat. While consumer tastes may change: from mutton and pork, to beef; or from beef, to chicken, most of the growth in one type of meat comes at the expense of another. That’s not the case in Asia and Africa. Figures show that between 1961 and 2013, the annual meat consumption for the average Chinese person went from 4kg to 62kg. Between 2007 and 2017, meat consumption worldwide rose by an average of 1.9 per cent each year, about twice as fast as the population grew.

After the United States, China is the world’s second largest beef market. Africa imports more meat than China and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development expects its imports to continue growing more than 3 per cent a year. This shift to meat is proving positive for many in the developing world, with children growing taller and being less deficient in micronutrients and iron.

So what does this mean? For livestock producers on the prairies, problems aren’t likely to come from shrinking demand. But there are problems, from feed shortages for the cattle sector to the threat of diseases, such as African Swine Flu, in the hog sector, it’s not smooth sailing, even if demand overall is growing.

Never too old for something new Observation

I

turned 68 last month.

I’m not bragging, complaining, looking for a flood of good wishes or expecting a big celebration.

I’m just reporting facts as they are. Age might be “ just a number” to some; but to me, every birthday is spent remembering the past, ref lecting on the present and making plans for the future—however long that might be.

I don’t know how long I have to live. None of us does. God alone knows that. It’s his secret and I am quite content to leave it that way. As I write these words, I am enjoying good health and know of no reason why I shouldn’t be around for many years to come.

But this past birthday was different. I didn’t display my usual “ho hum, it’s just another birthday” attitude. There was much to celebrate, so I did. And in the process, a thought embedded itself in my mind—and it hasn’t left.

To you, this might not seem all that profound. But

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein to me, it’s significant. Here’s the thought: “We are never too old for something new.”

For me, this means learning to live one day at a time.

I still plan for the future and work ahead on projects and assignments. But I allow myself the privilege of taking time to sit outside and read, weed my flower beds, go for a walk or enjoy a drive in the country with my wife and our dog. I’ve missed too many of these moments in the past. I know I will miss some in the future, but I’d like the number to be as few as possible.

It’s also meant learning new ways to influence people. I’m not in the public eye as much as I once was— and I’m quite happy about that. When I am, I’m free to be myself and to be the best

representative of my family, my heritage, the company for which I work and my Lord. If I can do that well, I know I will set a positive example for others.

I am discovering new ways to grow. I try to put as much positive material into my mind each day as I can. Reading motivational books, listening to podcasts and surrounding myself with people who share a positive outlook on life has helped a lot. So has cutting out as much negative, disrespectful and fear-mongering material from my life as I can. I no longer want to waste time stressing over issues over which I have no control.

Finally, it means using new methods to spread the positive message of

God’s love, acceptance and forgiveness with others. I don’t preach or lead worship as much as I did four years ago. If I am invited to preach somewhere and the suggested date is free, I always say “yes.” I trust God to determine where I should be and who I should serve on any given day. So far, that plan is working out very well for all concerned.

My main focus, going forward, will be writing.

This column will be a huge part of what I do. But I am also exploring the benefits of using social media to reach a wider audience with a positive, encouraging and life-building message. What I share won’t change. How I share it will. Posting positive content can help neutralize the negativity on social media.

And (spoiler alert) there may be a book or two in my future as well. One never knows. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Memories from Cousins Corner

T

here a re ma ny cou s i n s on my maternal side- 46not counting their partners. We are scattered all over this continent, from Whitehorse to Vancouver, from the east coast to the prairies, one in Quebec, one in the US, one in Australia, all over the place.

We grew up in a cluster.

Most of our parents settled in the Lowe Farm/Kane area, with a few moving into the city. One of my uncles chose to be a missionary in Mexico, and as a result, I have a quiver full of Spanish cousins.

Grandma G. was happiest when as many of her 12 adult children and their families could join her for Sunday afternoon. In a practical manner, the men were fed first and then they retired to the living room, the children ate next and scattered to play or snuck upstairs to listen in on the adult conversation that was certain to ensue as the

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen women sat long at the table.

Their laughter and love for one another are lasting memories. Tia Maria, my Spanish aunt, did not have the reservations that her sister-in-laws had. When she entered menopause, she graphically described her desire to rip off her clothing and rush out into the streets– and she lived in ‘the city,’ no hamlet! The laughter!

A few years ago, one of the cousins started a private ‘cousins corner’ on social media. Here, we share stories and memories and keep current with each other’s lives– joys and sorrows. One of the posts this week ref lected on a treat– father would dilute coffee

Find us on Facebook:

and hot water, break bits of bread into it, and the children would spoon out bits and bites. The term that came to mind was endocca– which translates dip into, or in dipping.

There was many a shared memory from that entry.

That got me going with my own set of memories.

Our kids, and grands, loved to dunk cookies into coffee. Grandpa Ed was fine with that, gladly offering his cup for any and all to saturate their cookie. Now you know, children don’t always understand how quickly a cookie softens and bits fall off. I understood, and understand. Not in my coffee! Somehow, offering to place a dunking

cup on the table was not a satisfactory solution.

And there was the time I was a part of the group t hat prov ided cook ies and dainties for the care home afternoon program.

I noted that some cookies were crunchy and assured the residents that no one would be offended if they needed to soften their cookie by dunking it into their tea or coffee. And the dunking began, it mattered not if the cookie was firm or soft. How delightful!

See how my mind works?

One stor y on Cousins Corner, and I was off.

Recalling my early years, enjoying the memories, back to the dunking story, and taking off from there.

Please believe me when I say there are days when it is challenging to focus, to stay on track – there are so many appealing and interesting side roads.

With the most interesting adventures awaiting!

By Addy Oberlin ’m sitting in front of my computer and my mind is filled with all kinds of thoughts. My neighbour just reminded me that she lent me her scribbler with poetry.

I cannot find it. Did she really give it to me to read? I have searched everywhere and feel guilty that I cannot even remember that she gave it to me. Maybe we are accusing each other that our minds are slipping.

When I search my Bible, I do not read anywhere that God accuses us of anything. When we believe in Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we believe it when He tells us, “Come and follow Me” Luke 18:22.

When we read through the Psalms, we can realize God’s love for us. David makes many mistakes, but God’s love and forgiveness helps him through the obstacles in life.

God is no respecter of age, colour of skin, nationality, mental ability or any other difference. Come to Him as you are.

Why not four?

Highway #16 through Neepawa seems to be the same width from the bridge on the east side to Stella Jones on the west side. Therefore, I am wondering who can explain why it is not four lanes the entire distance.

With the number of roads leading off this stretch, four lanes would keep the traffic flowing and make it much safer for all.

France

Ooh la la! Off to France. France shares borders with Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. Its lengthy borders touch the Atlantic Ocean in the west and to the southeast it borders the Mediterranean Sea. France has a very diverse landscape. Rugged cliffs front its coastline along the English Channel; on the southeast coast there are beautiful beaches, home to the French Riviera; then the towering snowcapped mountains of the French Alps; flat plains and/or low rolling hills in the north and west and the range of Pyrenees Mountains in the south. The entire country is bathed in natural beauty, historic cities and villages, ancient ruins and majestic castles, caves and catacombs to visit. France has also long been renowned for its culture and art. The Louvre is the most visited art museum in the world. The famous Mona Lisa painting is on display in this museum. Of course one must visit the Eiffel Tower, built in 1889 as a centerpiece for the World’s Fair. It was meant to be there only for the exhibition, but it still is the main attraction in France’s capital city. Visitors to the Eiffel Tower have to climb 1,665 steps to reach the top, unless they take the elevator!

France has a fascinating history with figures, such as Louis XIV, Marie Antoinette and Napoleon Bonaparte. Due to the lavish spending of previous royals and King Louis XIV, heavy taxation resulted in widespread poverty among the French people. A violent period of change called the French Revolution began, ending in the overthrow of the monarchy. Napoleon Bonaparte, a general during the French Revolution, rose to prominence. He began a campaign of wars with adjacent countries, and built a large French empire that ruled over much of Europe until he meet his Waterloo.

France is a leading exporter of agricultural goods. They have many acres of fertile land, and are one of the largest wine producers in the world. Many of these wines are sold over the world, while the rest are consumed locally in France. France produces more than 365 types of cheese, a new cheese for every day! France is the world’s leading tourist destination with more than 80 million people visiting their country every year. That is more than any other country on earth. France is known for more than its croissants.

Many famous authors have come from France, such as my favorite, Alexandre Dumas.

He wrote many novels the most notable being, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. Victor Hugo’s novels include Les Miserables and Notre-Dame de Paris, while Jules Verne is well known for his adventure novels, Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Louis Pasteur, a French scientist made discoveries in medical sciences, developing cures for rabies, anthrax and other infectious diseases. He also invented the process of pasteurisation to make milk safer to drink. Marie Currie discovered radiation. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person and only woman to win the Nobel Prize twice.

French cuisine sounds fancy, and it’s no secret that they cook with wine every now and then, but it’s really about the use of fresh ingredients when they are most abundant and at their best. You do not have to be fluent in French to enjoy the pleasure of sitting down, enjoying family, friends and good food to feed the body and nourish the soul. Bread is the symbol of France, ingrained in the country’s traditions over centuries. When told “the poor had no bread to eat,” Queen Marie Antoinette answered, “let them eat cake.

“That didn’t end well for the Queen. A visit to the “boulangerie” to buy wonderful crusty French bread, which must contain no preservatives according to French Law, is a daily occurrence. The entire city of Paris has 1784 bakeries. Bread itself “forms the palate of the people.” We all know about and have probably tried soufflés, baguettes, Soupe à L’oignon, Fondues, Cassoulets, Crème brûlée, Quiche Lorraine, Chocolate Mousse and crepes. However, not on our usual menus are Pot-au-feu de cheval (horse stew), cuisses de grenouilles (frog legs), Lapin a La Cocotte (rabbit casserole) or Sautéed Cervaux (fried brains). Bon appetite!

Clafoutis, pronounced klah/foo/tee, is a baked French dessert with fruit, traditionally black cherries, but other fruits can be used.

Clafoutis

3 large eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup flour 2 Tbsp. butter, melted and slightly cooled 1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup cream 1 teaspoon vanilla finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon 2 cups pitted cherries, or other berry fruit icing sugar, for garnish

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch pie pan. In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and salt until well combined. Add flour and whisk until smooth and lump free. Whisk in melted butter, followed by the milk, cream, vanilla and lemon zest. Make sure that the mixture is completely smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Scatter fruit onto the batter. Bake until the clafoutis is puffed and golden, 35–40 minutes. Let cool slightly until lukewarm. Dust with powdered sugar, if you like. Cut into wedges and serve.

Step into the past at the Austin Threshermen’s Reunion

PHOTOS BY DAWSON WADDELL

Above left: The old-style print shop at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, in Austin, shows how newspapers and commercial printing used to be done. Above right: Art Gibson, of Neepawa, shows off his team of horses pulling an old style planter during this year’s Threshermen’s Reunion, held each July at the museum.

The Manitoba Agricultural Museum captures past methods of farming and community living. The print shop shown in the picture above (left) looks very much like the original Neepawa Press building did. In the foreground is a granite topped type-setting table. In the far right corner is the linotype machine. It was invented in 1885 and nearly every small town shop had one or two. The New York Times reportedly had 140 of these machines. The Neepawa’s Press’s last linotype, which was a “parts” machine and had not run in over 50 years, was broken down and hauled away just this week. Even after several days of dismantling and sledge hammer work, the last couple of pieces still weighed 200 pounds.

Looking Back 1979: Wowks provide taxi services to Neepawa 8 NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Tuesday, August 10, 1909 One of the blacksmiths here [in Clanwilliam] had the misfortune to fall while walking along the railway track on Sunday night last, and sustained a severe fracture of the jaw. Holes had to be drilled into the teeth so that the jaw could be wired together and set.

He is progressing favorably.

100 years ago, Friday, August 8, 1919 In Memoriam– In loving memory of Sergt. Harold Grassie, M.M., who died of wounds, Aug. 8, 1918, somewhere in France...

Sisters and brothers.

Coming! “The Whip” a product ion in same class as “The Heart of Humanity” and “The Birth of a Nation.”

Note: The 1915 film entitled “The Birth of a Nation” was a f ilm adaptation of “The Clansmen” made by a man named D.W. Griffith– the son of an ex-Confederate colonel– about the American Civil War (1861-1865) and the “Reconstruction” period (1865-1877).

The Civil war was fought by 11 “Confederate states” from the South and the rest of the Northern states. The southern states fought in favor of white supremacy and slavery.

The film wrong fully depicted the KKK as “valiant saviours” of a post-war South “ravaged

by Northern carpetbaggers and immoral freed blacks” and heavily perpetuated racist stereotypes.

The Confederate-skewed film, which carried a racially charged Jim Crow narrative, revived the KKK. Until then, the group had allegedly been “all but obliterated due to government suppression.” The fascist group aligned itself with the film and used it as a tool for recruiting new members for decades.

T here were widespread protests against the film by black people.

90 years ago, Tuesday, August 9, 1929 Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Poole and family extend their most sincere thanks to all who helped them when their home was destroyed by fire on July 24. Also

the many friends from Kelwood and district, also from Riding Mountain for the kindness shown and expressed.

80 years ago, Tuesday, August 8, 1939 Franco has declared that the Fascist party is the permanent and only political party in Spain.

The Canadian Jewish Pe o p l e’s C o m m it t e e , Toronto, has sent a letter to Premier King asking the government to “take steps to introduce legislation that will make anti-Semitism and all attempts at fostering racial feuds and prejudices an offense.”

A Czecho-Slovak woman jumped from the 13th floor of a Chicago hotel last week, taking her two children with her, age six and four. The jury’s verdict was that she committed suicide while temporarily insane due to worry over being forced to leave her home in Czecho-Slovakia due to persecution. Her husband was in the hotel and police learned a $1 million textile company he owned was taken from him by the Germans.

Attractively colored gas masks for babies have been issued in London. Mothers have been asked to let the children play with them so as to familiarize themselves with their use.

70 years ago, Thursday, August 11, 1949 A g iant earthworm, which sometimes reaches 11 feet in leng th and hatching from eggs three inches long, is the subject of study by Australian scientists. It makes a “loud, gurgling noise.”

60 years ago, Tuesday, August 11, 1959 A Neepawa member will be attending the annual reunion of veterans of the first Special Service For c e, C om m a ndo Group, of World War II in Calgary’s Palliser Hotel, commencing Aug. 14. Peter Cottingham will join with about 300 veterans from all over Canada and the United States, the United Kingdom, South America and the Philippines in the memorable affair...

AUGUST 9, 2019

Mr. Cottingham was with the Regina Rif les in the early part of World War II. He took parachute training at Fort Benning, Georgia; Helena, Montana; and in England.

Since tak ing up residence in Neepawa he has been active in community affairs, serving as Commanding Officer of the Neepawa Squadron No. 9 Royal Canadian Air Cadets. He is a member of the Beautiful Plains School Division Board.

50 years ago, Thursday, August 14, 1969 An unobtrusive limestone and brick building stands on the corner of Mountain and Brown. No doubt almost everyone in Neepawa has passed it many times a week without giving it a second thought. But few realize that this is the land title office which covers the largest area in Manitoba.

The Neepawa Land Title Office is one of several in Manitoba which registers titles and transfers of land.

Its area includes a vast stretch of land in the westcentral part of the province and everything north of Township 44. This includes com mu n it ies such a s Churchill, Thompson, Flin Flon and The Pas. In terms of business volume, it ranks second, with Brandon, only to the Winnipeg office.

Filipino and western baking meet at Lola’s

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press

A whole new version of the bakery at 370 Mountain Ave. Neepawa officially opened on July 18. After R & J Bakery, which was the last business at that address, closed near the beginning of June, the owner of the building and her family were busy working to update the place before opening under a brand new name.

Lola’s Bakery is owned and operated by Carmela Comila, who runs the business with her husband, son and daughter-in-law. “I want this for my grandkids.

And I want them to look at [the bakery] as lola's, grandma’s,” Comila said, explaining that lola means grandma in Tagalog.

Comila originally purchased the building to rent to R & J Bakery last winter.

Her son, Jumar Comila, who was one of the owners of R & J, is now the baker at Lola’s. Along with her family members, she has also hired four other employees from Neepawa.

Comila herself lives in Winnipeg, but has been staying in town since Lola’s opened

and is working on moving to Neepawa permanently.

Lola’s offers a selection of Filipino baking, including pandesal (Filipino buns), turon (sweet spring roll with banana and jackfruit), lumpiang (savoury spring rolls), as well as many different breads and sweets flavoured with traditional Filipino ingredients. There is also a variety of western style foods, such as macarons, cinnamon buns and pizza.

Comila explained that she plans to make Lola’s into a bakery/restaurant combination. They’ve started by serving breakfast, both Canadian and Filipino styles. They’ve also started serving soup at lunch time.

They’re hoping to be making french fries and fried chicken soon, as well.

They have the back room of the building available for reservation. Comila said they’re hoping people will reserve it for parties, business or charity events, even for a get-together over some karaoke. There is also a piano and open mic area set up in the bakery and every-

one is encouraged to come and practice their skills or play some music for the staff and customers. “I want this place lively,” Comila expressed. She added that it’s free for anyone to use the music equipment, no matter their age or skill level.

Comila noted that opening Lola’s Bakery was never something she had planned. “ Lola’s Bakery was never in my mind, this was just an instant decision,” she said.

“I bought this place for R & J.” Comila explained that the owners of R & J got into a disagreement and were having some problems for a while. They eventually closed after deciding they no longer wanted to work together.

Because Comila had bought the building for R & J to rent from her, she had to figure out what to do with it after they closed.

“We talked a lot about that, so we consulted somebody,” Comila said. The consultant asked Jumar if he was interested in baking and he said yes. “But the thing is... he wasn’t the baker,” Comila said. “He was just the utility worker, the business transactions, a helper

Carmela Comila opened Lola’s Bakery with her family on July 18. Her son is the baker, while her husband and daughter-in-law help with the business as well.

First annual Garden Contest recognizes Gladstone gardeners Submitted GASSP Gladstone Area Senior Support just wrapped up their Garden Contest for the season. The contest was created this spring

by Coordinator April Hiller, after hearing how much interest there was in the gardening scene. “It was created with hopes of giving our town residents something to get outside, get active and get involved in, and it worked out since there are so many individuals who already enjoy gardening,” said Hiller. To instill a little competition and creativity, the contest came to be.

Each gardener had a choice of five different categories that they could enter their masterpieces into, including; a small space garden (of 10sq feet or less), a flower garden, a general garden (able to include flowers and vegetables in one), a youth gardener category (where the primary gardener needed to be 18 years old or younger), or a vegetable garden.

Gardens were judged for the layout, aesthetic value, maintenance, creativity and the condition of the plants. There were nine entrants amongst four categories, which

impressed many for this first time contest.

“I had hoped to get a few more entrants, but any was considered a success. I can only hope for more people to get involved next time round”, spoke April.

The judges that GASSP organized were blown away by the hard work everyone put in to make their spaces extraordinary when judging took place on July 23. Everyone entered, including the winners were notified the next day, and on the following two days after, the winners of each category were awarded their prize and an award.

Taking first place in the small space category were the Centennial Apartment tenants, who entered their team-maintained raised flower beds. Judi Code took the cake for the flower garden category, while Tracey Linski and Lorne Hunt were awarded first for the general garden category. Finally, last but not least, Hayden Pottinger placed first for the youth category with his fairy garden.

Rotor’s Bakery and Pizzeria open for business

By Cassandra Wehrhahn

Neepawa Banner & Press

Neepawa has been full of baking as of late. After securing and renovating the buildingbesideSMart,at337 Mountain Ave. in Neepawa, Richard Rotor and wife Mercilina officially opened their bakery and pizzeria on July 26. Richard Rotor noted that the opening was well received, with Neepawa Mayor Blake McCutcheon and Neepawa’s Economic Development O f f icer Marilyn Crewe making an appearance at the ribbon cutting.

Rotor has experience with baking from working at his uncle’s bakery in the Philippines when he was younger, and was a coowner of the R & J Bakery in Neepawa. Rotor hopes his skills as a baker, and the new business itself, will grow. “That’s why I started my own business with my wife,” Rotor expressed. “I will do my best to make more delicious bread and to serve the people of Neepawa; and

may the lord God bless us.” “[The opening was] so busy,” Rotor enthused.

“And I’m very thankful to those who support us, both

Canadian and Filipino. As well as the Town of Neepawa [for supporting us at the opening].”

Rotor added, “That first

day was non-stop. I couldn’t imagine that [the customers would] love my bread so much.”

While bread and pizza

may be staples, Rotor strives for diversity in his products and customers.

Rotor’s Bakery and Pizzeria will continue to produce

traditional Filipino breads and treats, such as pandesal, ensaymada, hopia yema and bread pudding, alongside items such as pizzas and cinnamon buns. Rotor hopes that his customersespecially Canadians- will try a bit of everything.

“Especially our morning bread– the Pandesal– which is a best seller,” Rotor explained. “Everywhere in the Philippines and in Canada.”

Rotor also hopes to slowly add new items to the bakery’s offered products in the future. Currently the bakery has three employees, consisting of Rotor himself, Mercilina, and a part time employee.

“So we’re a bit slower in production,” Rotor relayed.

“But later on [I would like to offer more], because I see that [there is a good response] and it is very easy to adapt my concepts.”

Rotor’s Ba ker y and Pizzeria is open Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Bajoosh Run passes through Neepawa Fundraising effort provides support for diabetes prevention

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Southern Chiefs Organization grand chief Jerry Daniels was very appreciative of the warm reception he received during his stop in Neepawa on Tuesday, July 30. But of course, after running just over 100 kilometres over the previous three days, with another 94 km to go to his destination, perhaps Daniels was most appreciative of just getting to take a break.

The reason for Daniels’ extraordinary trek across Westman was connected to the Bajoosh Run For Diabetes Prevention, a five-day journey started at Long Plain First Nation on July 28 and ended at Keeseekoowenin First Nation on Aug. 1.

Daniels’ run is an effort to promote a healthier lifestyle for people and raise funds for diabetes prevention. According to Diabetes Canada research, the occurrence of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in indigenous peoples remains disproportionally high, compared to the rest of the population.

Inspired by his great grandfather During his stop in Neepawa, Daniels told the Banner & Press about the significance of the run and the message it’s trying to share.

“Diabetes is a real issue in First Nations communities across the country, so we’re hoping to raise awareness and to educate people on the problem,” said Daniels. “As well, I wanted to honour Bajoosh, who was my great grandfather. He was the first Daniels in our family; He was a peacekeeper and a farmer and he helped our community. He was a healer [as well], and he wanted our people to be healthy. So, I wanted to honour him by doing this run in his name. So, in the spirit of keeping his legacy and tradition alive, we hope to encourage and promote healthier ways of living.”

Welcome to Neepawa As for the amount of support the run has received,

Daniels said they’ve been pleasantly surprised by the response. “ We’ve h ad people come out every day. We’ve had people pulling over to the side of the road and just giving donations off the side of the road.

We’ve had people pull over and run with us. It’s been nice.”

Upon arriving in Neepawa, Daniels was greeted by m ayor Bl a ke McCutcheon, town staff and a large group of community youngsters. This large contingent was there to show their support for the cause, offering donations and some local memorabilia for Daniels to commemorate the endeavour.

As for where the funds raised from the run will go, t he plans include potentially sending Aboriginal children to camp to learn about diabetes prevention and provide resources to help with prevention. Details on the run can be found at the Southern Chiefs Organization Incorporated website.

“Together, we can do more.”

Beautiful Plains and Stride Credit Union state their case for proposed merger

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The final pitch for amalgamation between the Beautiful Plains and Stride credit unions has been made.

Now it’s up to the membership to decide if that’s the route they wish to take.

A public meeting on the proposed merger of the two financial institutions was held on Tuesday, Aug. 6 at the Neepawa Legion Hall.

It was the first of three such information sessions held ahead of the vote. The second was in Portage la Prairie on Aug. 7 and the last was set for Gladstone on Aug. 8 and occurred after the Banner & Press publication deadline.

The Neepawa meeting featured a short Power Point presentation outlining the benefits of a potential merger, followed by a question and answer session.

Questions brought up by

the credit union members in attendance included what potential changes might be made to online banking and whether or not chequebooks currently distributed by Beautiful Plains will remain useable. Representatives with Beautiful Plains and Stride stressed that people will be able to use the cheques they already have without issue and that online banking will not see any major alterations in application.

A positive dialogue The CEO of Stride Credit Union, Brent Budz, was in attendance at the Neepawa meeting and noted that he was pleased with the dialogue the session was able to create.

“I think, this type of communication is the key and we’ve really endeavoured to ensure we covered almost every question ahead of time that we thought would come

up. Overall, it was a good session here tonight. Some good questions from the floor, which was fantastic.

But what we really wanted to do was provide people with the answers to questions and we’ve done that through various forms of media, our website, pickup publications at all the branches and just through the employees [with both Credit Unions] speaking with customers.

More information makes for better and informed decision making,” stated Budz. “What I really hope tonight’s session spotlighted is the importance of voting.

It’s really important that people come out and what we’re looking for is our members to endorse what their boards have gotten behind and they’ve endorsed.

A positive vote from both Credit Unions is important to move forward.”

The province’s best rural amateur golfers will soon be roaming the fairways of the Neepawa Golf and Country Club (NGCC), as the Manitoba Golf Rural Amateur Championship is set for Aug 10 and 11.

The Rural Championship is held for Golf Manitoba competitors whose home club is located outside of Winnipeg. It features stroke-play in the Junior, Senior and Amateur Men’s categories.

NGCC general manager and CPGA golf pro Landon Cameron said hosting an event of this caliber is a great chance to showcase both the course and the community as a whole.

“Getting the Rural Championship back is great. We put in an application [to Golf Manitoba] about a year ago for a couple of different events and they gave us this one. It’s always good to get events like this that have a large number of participants from across the province involved,” stated Cameron. “It’s good and it’s going to benefit everybody, not just for [the golf club]. Having people from out-of-town using the local restaurants and hotels is a positive. Getting tournaments like this also showcases the community to a new group who, perhaps, haven’t been here before.”

In an interview with the Banner & Press, Golf Manitoba executive director Jared Ladobruk noted that the provincial governing body is very impressed with what the NGCC has to offer.

“Neepawa has hosted several other successful events, in conjunction with Golf Manitoba in the past,” said Ladobruk. “It’s a great venue for a competition such as this. It’s a fun course, but one that will definitely challenge the players. We’re very much looking forward to the event.”

The 2018 Championship was played in at the Shilo Country Club. Colwyn Abgrall of Southwood won the Amateur Men’s event, while Selkirk’s Mikyla Albert claimed the Women’s category Westman Junior Tour Another tournament of note has made its way to Neepawa, as the Westman Junior Tour (WJT) was played on Tuesday, Aug. 6. About 30 golfers, divided into three age groups participated. Those categories ranged from 16 to 18-year-olds, 14 and 15-year-olds and 13 and under.

Gary Poole, the Junior Tour’s organizer, who is also the former NGCC golf pro, said he’s very happy about Neepawa’s consistent support of the event.

“It’s great. It give the kids a chance to play one of the best courses in Manitoba. Year in and year out, this is course that can challenge their golf skills. [The course] is always in good condition, so this is always a very well regarded stop on the tour.”

WJT results As for the category winners, In Group A (15-18 yrs) Championship Flight, Ben Rainka of Neepawa defeated Wiley Speiss, also of Neepawa in matchplay 6-up, while Evan Nachtigall (Brandon) def. Ryden Hargreaves (Brandon) 2-up.

In the First Flight, (15-18 yrs), Bodhi Speiss (Neepawa) def. Dillon Borch (Neepawa) 2-up, while Eric Prokopowich, Dauphin def. Spence Mott, Brandon 4-up.

For the Second Flight (15-18 yrs), Luke Davidson (Dauphin) def. Zack Mudrewich (Wawota) 4-up, while Zach Hill (Redvers) def. Cole Topham (Minnedosa) by default. The other stroke play matchup saw Eric Reid (Virden) def. Hayden Delaloye (Neepawa) 5-up.

In stroke play, Bryce Bryant of Virden and Zos Giordani-Gros of Brandon tied for first place in the 14 and 15-year-old category and Dauphin’s Jackson Delaurier was victorious in the 12 and under draw.

Brandon golfer wins NGCC Senior Ladies Open

Shauna Danyluk shoots a 79 on the way to victory

Neepawa Banner & Press

B r a n d o n’s S h a u n a Danyluk claimed the top prize at the 2019 Senior Ladies Tournament, held at the Neepawa Golf and Country Club (NGCC) on Thursday, Aug. 1. Danyluk put up an impressive round of 79 over 18 holes, three shots better than her nearest competition. Danyluk, who was competing in the Open for the first time, said she was very happy with her round played out.

“It felt okay out there.

It was a good day,” noted Danyluk. “This was the first year I’ve participated in the event. The course is in excellent shape, it was challenging. It was a wellorganized event and a fun time.”

Danyluk added that she does plan to return next year and see if she’s able to defend her title.

NGCC general manager and CPGA golf pro Landon Cameron congratulated Danyluk on her victory and commended all the participants for their involvement.

He noted that the participation numbers were up from the previous year, which is very encouraging.

“In terms of participants, we had 72 players signed up. Last year, there were 65 players involved, which was an even better number than the previous year. It’s very good to see more people, from across the region, coming out to Neepawa and playing in the event,” said Cameron. Congratulations to [Danyluk] for putting up a really good round. She’s a very good player. I believe she has won the Ladies Western Open in Brandon about nine times, or something like that. She’s one of

the stronger players in the area. It wasn’t a surprise to see her win. A [round of ] 79 on a 34-degree day is an impressive score.

Cameron also commended the NGCC grounds crew for what they’ve been able to accomplish this year, stating that the course might be in the best shape he’s ever

“When we went back to some of our strategic planning as a Credit Union, we wanted to identify part-

ners in the province that shared a lot of the same values, commitment to community and just the way we do business. When we began talks with Beautiful Plains, we quickly identified that they are very much like Stride Credit Union and so there was a strong desire from the board’s perspec-

tive to really work together with Beautiful Plains so that we could expand together, grow together.

And obviously, as we stated [during the public meeting], together, we can do more. So, we’re very excited about the possibility. We really want to endorse this move and are asking members to posi-

His mother Madeline, sisters Karen (Don), Caroline, brothers Dwight, Monty (Marina) and nieces and nephews. Larry's funeral is to be held on August 7, 2019 in Hemer, Germany.

George Belmont Galloway On Monday, July 22nd, 2019, George Belmont Galloway, passed away at the age of 79, after a long battle with cancer. He spent his last days surrounded by friends and family, with his beloved dog Abby snuggled by his side.

George was born on September 15th, 1939 in Gladstone, Manitoba, to George & Phyllis Galloway. After a brief time working in Calgary, he returned to Gladstone. On October 7th, 1959, he married Doreen Armstrong and together they raised three children, Jody, Susan & Mark, living in Thompson, MB and then Grand Forks, BC. In 1989, his health issues forced an early retirement and he and Doreen packed up home and hit the road in their RV, splitting their time between Arizona and the Okanagan, until Doreen’s passing in 2004. He was lucky enough to meet Betty Hughes, his second wife, who also enjoyed the RV lifestyle. After her passing in 2015, his travels lead to Vancouver Island. Even though he settled in Saanichton, he still kept his campervan at the ready.

George was a great lover of nature & the outdoors and thoroughly enjoyed the social life that came along with being on the road. He was a true friend to all and inspired everyone he met to enjoy the best of what life had to offer.

George was preceded in death by his father George Sr., his mother Phyllis & his sister Lillian, his first wife Doreen and his 2nd wife Betty. He is survived by his children Jody (Ken), Susan (Tarquin) & Mark (Darla) and his grandchildren Tanner, Jane & Lindsay, nieces & nephews and his favourite furry friend Abby, who was never far from his side.

Key to keeping cool is AC maintenance Submitted Metro Creative Connection

Few things beat summer heat better than walking into a comfortably chilled air conditioned home.

Air conditioning is often taken for granted, but sorely missed when it is not working. The key to keeping cool all summer long is to ensure that air conditioning systems are functioning properly.

Maintaining an AC unit can save money and protect homeowners’ i nve s t m e n t s. Wi t h o u t regular attention, an AC unit will lose its efficiency, needlessly wasting both energy and money as a result. Poor maintenance also can lead to system failure just when it is needed most. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average lifespan of an air conditioning unit is about 15 to 20 years. Home Advisor says homeowners can pay between $500 and $4,000 for central air conditioning, with the final cost depending on the unit, additional installation items,

such as ductwork, and installation charges. With re g u la r m a i n t e n a n c e, homeowners can keep their units humming properly and avoid premature replacement costs.

So what can homeowners expect as it pertains to air conditioner maintenance? The following are some oftneeded checks and fixes.

• Keep it clean. Vacuum the fins and coils of the AC unit on the external compressor/condenser fan with a soft-bristled brush, advise the experts at Family Handyman.

This may require unscrewing the metal box surrounding the unit to access the fins. Remove any accumulated debris that may be impeding air flow. Afterward, go inside and change the filter that is installed with the evaporator that’s located in a central duct near the furnace. Inspect the filter periodically to see if it is soiled and needs replacement. Timing can

vary depending various factors, such as the time of year, the accumulation of dust and whether or not pets live in the home.

•Straighten coil fins.

The fins on the condenser are easily bent and that can affect the flow of air through the coils. If you cannot easily straighten them, then consult with an HVAC professional to do so.

•Check the thermostat.

Ensure that the thermostat is still working properly. You also may want to upgrade an old thermostat to a programmable or smart thermostat that enables you to remotely set and adjust the temperature.

•Consider an in-line d u c t b o o s t e r. H VAC professionals can guide you through the advantages of an in-line duct booster for forced-air cooling. This can increase the flow of cool air into a room that always seems hotter than the rest. Another option is a vent or register booster fan that sits on top or replaces a traditional floor or wall register.

• D e a l w i t h c o n d e n s a t i o n .

Periodic maintenance of an AC unit will keep it in good repair and working efficiently.

Condensation from air conditioning coils can puddle around the furnace if the condensate drain tube is clogged.

Clearing it out will help prevent puddling and the formation of bacterialaden water in the system.

Periodic maintenance is necessary to ensure uninterrupted service on a home AC unit.

Rockin’ the Fields of Minnedosa

Clearing the trail

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Late last month, high winds downed quite a number of mature trees along the Langford Recreational Trails. Local volunteers gathered to clear away the debris and make the paths accessible once again. Jean Seaborn, pictured above, was one of the many volunteers working to re-open the 1-3 kilometer walking paths.

The volunteers would like to invite everyone to come explore the trails for a refreshing time with nature. Wild fruits are plentiful, Bergamot abundant and beautiful and ticks are scarce.

Visitors from Winnipeg, Stonewall (MB), Michigan, Belgium and Alberta hiked the trail last month.
