All about the Cluck and Quack

Submitted Cluck and Quack

Fou nd e d b y S u s a n Brand and Ken Buchholz in 2001, the Cluck and Quack Poultry Club brings poultry enthusiasts together, fostering a vibrant and active community. With over 120 members pre-COVID in Newfoundland, Ontario, Saskatchewan and, of course, Manitoba, the club organizes an annual spring auction of purebred species only, and an annual fall sale, which includes crafts, equipment and other items, in addition to poultry and small animals, held in a farmer’s market style. The club also hosts an annual American Poultry Association show.

The pur pose of t he Cluck and Quack Poultry Club is to connect people raising poultry, waterfowl, pigeons, and other exotic and domestic animals and birds in order to exchange information, provide contacts and promote accepted breed standards. The club provides opportunities for members to increase their knowledge in the intrica-

The Club engages in community activities by providing exhibits at events and via its youth outreach programs to schools and to 4-H Clubs. For example, in April 2019, Chairperson Shannon Dawley gave

a presentation at Polson School in Winnipeg and provided them with a dozen hatching eggs donated by members. This “Agriculture in the Classroom” program is set to continue as COVID-19 restrictions let up. Further outreach initiatives include offering young people a free oneyear membership, available to 4-H club members.

Looking ahead and looking back

T

he bad news is the Ukraine war may last a long time.

Even if Russia “wins”, they will lose and the war will go on for a long time.

In Canada, we can pray, send aid, take in refugees and probably a lot more.

There is one particular thing that we can do to strengthen ourselves and that is be aware that food has and will become both scarce and expensive.

But more than being aware, we should all do everything we can to grow, harvest and put away as much food as we can. If you have a garden spot, then fill it up. If you can grow some chickens or pigs or whatever for food, do it. Food can be frozen, dried, put in a root cellar or canned. My wife and I harvest raspberries, rhubarb, plums, apples and tomatoes from our yard.

We also pick saskatoons, cranberries and chokecherries. We freeze, can and dry food. Hopefully we are healthy enough to do as much or more this year. If we all do more locally, it leaves more of the commercially provided food for those who can’t grow or gather food for themselves.

The western world has been lulled to sleep over the past three decades.

We have fixated on many issues that didn’t make sense. Matthew Syed said in the London Times, “While (Chinas’s) Xi Jinping was resetting the world order through his Belt and Road initiative and Vladimir Putin was recreating the Russian empire by annexing Georgia and Crimea, we were arguing over gender-neutral toilets.”

Here are some excepts from retired Manitoba Judge Brian Giesbrecht’s most recent column.

“Just the week before, when he invoked the Emergencies Act to deal with what was essentially a local police matter, Justin Trudeau was being compared to brutal dictators, like neepawa

Banner & Press

STAFF

Right in the Centre Ken Waddell Xi Jinping. But now, after effectively saying, ‘Just fooling’, and revoking the same legislation he said was absolutely necessary to save the country from the perils of the evil working folk, a more apt comparison would be to Bozo the Clown.

After ruining the reputation of Canada abroad, severely damaging trust in Canada’s banking system and confounding civil rights experts with his astounding overreach– going nuclear to storm bouncy castles– Trudeau has decided that now, that the bouncy castle threat has apparently has been vanquished, he doesn’t need that draconian legislation after all.

But, here’s the real side-splitter. In his little speech revoking the Emergencies Act– legislation that was intended for events slightly more worrisome than bouncy castles and free Sikh food – Trudeau said this: ‘We need to constantly work to defend and improve our democracy, both at home and abroad’.

Now, that’s funny! Could it be that the temperamental Trudeau is giving us a sign that he is ready to move on?

Remember that Trudeau was a drama teacher before deciding that he wanted to become the leader of every Canadian (and Canadians– for reasons I could never fathom– granted his wish).

Could it be that he is announcing through his actions, and absolutely hilarious speech, that he is intent on becoming a stand-up comedian?

If so, I applaud his move. After

spending the last two years in an entirely self-imposed COVID-19 prison, Canada is certainly ready for some humour. I am in full support of Trudeau’s career move.

And that new Ottawa police chief– whatever his instantly forgettable name might be– the one who ordered his police officers to brutalize decent Canadians, and tarnish forever the reputation of Canada as a peaceful and decent place– perhaps make him the new ‘Colonel Klink’ on a Canadian version of ‘Stalag 13’?

So, there are definite comedic possibilities here. In fact, maybe a constitutional change: instead of ‘peace, order and good government’ what about ‘tear gas, billy clubs and lots of laughs’.

Anyway, you get my idea. The sad fact is that this was once a great country. And we had very good leaders.

Never mind the fact that our greatest leader, John A. Macdonald– no Macdonald, no Canada – is regularly toppled as a statue by dullards who can’t even spell his name– even our modern Prime Ministers were serious men. Mulroney, Chrétien, Martin, Harper, these were all people who were taken seriously on the world stage. Domestically, we all had our issues with them, but they were serious men, and they were taken seriously.”

A barn full of memories

T

he smile began as we drove into the farmyard.

Barns and bins, corrals and workshop, a yard that grew as needs grew. It was the barn that called, one of those red, hipped roof creations with the white X’s on the doors.

As the front door was unlatched and opened, a streak of black fury crossed our path, just one of the farm felines. Immediately, the warmth of the barn banished the numbing cold of the winter day. The scent was heavy and rich, yes, cow droppings, but so much more; hay, and straw, and bovine fragrance. Yes, I think cows smell nice.

Overhead, several more farm cats kept a watchful eye on us and their world. Wary, alert, contented.

The object of our visit stood in the back stall, twin calves at her side. The mama was big, back as broad as a dining room table, and the calves, Lineback parentage, were so perfectly matched in colour that if one had not been slightly smaller– ever so slightly– it would have been difficult to distinguish them from each other. This pen was the centre of attention, for the massive cow in the first stall was reluctant to interact with two-legged creatures as she protected her calf. Once there was no attention on her, she called me back, moving to one side so that I could admire her child, and it, too, was beautiful.

When I slipped back to view the twins, she waited and then summoned me again. What the heck, the twins had plenty of admirers; I could give her my time and attention.

I saw the well-ordered barn. The dung removed from the pens, the heated watering bowls, the well fed cattle and cats, the afterbirth still in the gutter, the square bales of clean straw and the fragrant hay. I saw and felt and smelt all these and more. For a moment, I saw too much more.

There I stood, in the barn of my childhood. Also a sturdy, well kept barn, but not a red, hipped roof one.

To my right stood the row of Jersey cows, Daisy the matriarch, the bell carrier, Bambi (anyone who has seen a Jersey calf understands the origin of that name), then Flossie, with one and a half horns, she wanted to be the matriarch! Daisy, wise and slow and the easiest milker, and Penny, her coat still as copper as when she was young.

They are older cows, quiet and steady. Heavy milkers and easily fenced.

The memory of entering that barn, resting my head on a warm flank as I milked was comforting. Their presence was dignified, strong and eternal. They were a part of all my adolescence, felt my tears, my anger and frustration, and witnessed my carefree tree hugging and tree climbing as I sought them out of the bush at day’s end. The other creatures in the barn were always an assortment of pigs and chickens and sheep. In varying degrees on concentration as life changed. From cattle to sheep, to pigs then chickens.

That moment, there in the alley of that barn, was a gift beyond measure. Simply opening the door to cherished memories.

Facing life’s challenges– Part 2

T

hroughout his years of ministry, the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah was assisted by one of the best scribes anyone could ask for. His name was Baruch and apart from the references made to him in Jeremiah’s own writings, we know very little about him.

We do know that the was a faithful servant of God and that he displayed incredible courage– especially when he was asked to deliver messages from the prophet to kings who were known to imprison, torture and even kill people who told them things they didn’t like to hear. Those threats never stopped Baruch from doing his job.

But Baruch had a significant flaw in his character– a flaw that Jeremiah felt compelled to identify. In a personal letter to Baruch (see Jeremiah 45:5), the prophet writes: “And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not...”

Those words are as relevant today as they were when they were written 2,500 years ago.

History is filled with the stories of people who,

smooth talk, be careful . It could be a false message.

There is, however, one person who we can trust.

In 2 Timothy 3:16, we can learn that “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”

The Bible teaches us truth, because God is truth.

Neil Strohschein like Baruch, were “seeking great things for themselves.”

But, unlike Baruch, many of these individuals did not listen to God’s voice, telling them to “seek them not.” Instead, they pursued their dreams of achieving greatness by securing high positions of responsibility in which they could attain the possessions, power and perks they craved.

Some chose to work through the democratic process. They stood for election to public office, convinced a majority of people in their district that they were best qualified for the job, and were elected. But once elected, some of them discovered that the demands of the job far exceeded their knowledge, wisdom and emotional maturity. Upon realizing this, they did one of two things. Some used extreme measures to en-

Then there were those who chose a different path.

They saw themselves as “God’s answer to all the world’s problems” and, filled with an overly inflated view of their own significance, used intimidation, violence and military action to force elected leaders from power and install themselves in their place. But this proved to be counterproductive.

Once settled in their position of authority, these new leaders had to ensure that other leadership aspirants didn’t do to them what they had done to their predecessors. So opposition to the new regime was brutally suppressed. One bad regime was replaced with one that was even worse; and the common people suffered

even more.

History’s good leaders, rulers like King David and prophets like Jeremiah, didn’t seek a position of greatness or campaign for election to it. They began like Baruch, as faithful servants– people whom Jesus described as being “faithful in small things.” Then, when the time was right, God called them to take on more responsibilities, knowing that they would serve just as faithfully in these new roles as they had done before.

Every person on this earth is a unique creation of a wise, all-knowing and all-powerful God. Every person has been blessed with a unique combination of abilities and talents. Every person can do something today to help and encourage someone else.

God has gifted and called each of us to be a blessing to someone else today. He asks us, like he asked Baruch, to resist the urge to seek great things for ourselves. He asks us instead to be faithful in completing today’s tasks.

One day, he will reward all who do so with these words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

‘It is a junkyard, not an auto sales and service business’ On Oct. 20, 2021, the Municipality of WestLakeGladstone held a conditional use hearing about GWB’s automotive sales and services business set up in the southeast corner of Plumas. It is a junkyard, not an auto sales and service business!

The people who lived within 100 metres of the yard could contest the conditional use. Four couples, totalling eight people, did so for various reasons, including ugly, property devalued and a sorry sight to recognize Plumas by.

Of the seven supporters, all but one work for GWB. Their reasons for their support were that GWB was respectful to customers and neighbours. We could not see what that had to do with a junkyard. We believe that there was a conflict of interest concerning these employees. Council counted up the votes, saying seven were for the yard and four were against. Needless to say, the council accepted the support votes and disregarded our concerns.

Before the conditional use permit was even issued, the building was renovated and the site cleaned up.

One hundred plus junk vehicles were hauled in. Anyone else would have got required permits before starting the business. The municipality CAO and mayor said, “no issue”. I guess it is not what you know, it is who you know.

I delivered a petition to limit the number of junkers on the site at the municipal office in Gladstone on Jan. 14, 2022 at 9:00 am. By 2:00 pm, GWB owner, who was in Mexico, knew about it and some of the names on the petition. I do not believe that this is supposed to happen.

The hog barn petition went nowhere, same with the ward system petition. I am hoping that the Plumas junkyard petition does not have the same results. To defeat the junkyard, I recommend that to people who read this, email the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone of your concerns.

As the junk cars are 30 metres from my house, I would love to haul them to the mayor’s yard.

I am including a direct quote from one of the petitioners. “I feel that the current operation, signage describes scrapyard, was not authorized under the conditional use, as it was sales and service. The appearance was clearly better as compared to the scraggly grass and fire hazard prior to the cleanup. But the appearance when the scrap is operating is too extensive for an entry into Plumas. A limitation of 15 cars would certainly be helpful. A fence behind the north neighbours would be beneficial and a need when enjoying the outside during any season. (The ward system is also a necessity.)”

Oatmeal breakfast goodies Oats, a whole grain, are a slow-release carbohydrate, keeping you feeling fuller between meals, as they help stabilize blood sugar levels. They also may help lower LDL cholesterol, plus their fibre helps keep you regular. They are also packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. A nutritional powerhouse. They are eaten as porridge, in breakfast cereals, in baking such as oatcakes, oatmeal cookies, oat bread, muffins, tossed in meatloaf and much more. There’s plenty of room for oatmeal as part of a healthy eating diet.

Annually, Canada produces about 3 million tonnes of oats, making us one of the largest exporters of high quality oats. Saskatchewan grows about half the oats in Canada, followed by Manitoba and Alberta. People have been growing and eating oats for at least 7,000 years. They were grown in ancient China, as well as ancient Greece. The Greeks were the first people to make them into porridge. I am sure the Scots would disagree with that!

Oats were a staple for the pioneers and there are stories of struggling homesteaders eating porridge three meals a day. As well as for man, oats were the fuel for the horses and oxen who broke, planted and harvested the land. When cold, oatmeal porridge becomes thick and solid, which was cut into slices and fried for breakfast. In the horse and buggy days, this cold oatmeal was sliced and taken for a snack while travelling. I fondly remember my auntie Marie’s fried slices of cold oatmeal sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon. It was very yummy!

I have been eating oatmeal porridge every morning for several years now. I wanted to change it up, so I tried making homemade breakfast goodies with the oatmeal instead.

The first recipe is a gluten free one and uses raspberries for the fruit filling. You can use blueberries or diced apples instead. (Or canned pie filling of choice.)

Gluten free raspberry bar Filling: 1 1/3 cups oatmeal 3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries 1/2 cup coconut 1/3 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar 4 Tbsp. water 1 tsp. baking soda 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. xanthan gum Crust: 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 1/3 cups gluten free flour mix 2/3 cup melted butter For filling: In a medium saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the water. Bring to a boil reduce heat. Simmer about 5 minutes or until berries are softened.

In a cup, stir together the remaining two tablespoons of water and the cornstarch. Add to the berries and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

For crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oatmeal, coconut, sugar, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum and cinnamon. With a fork, blend in the melted butter until it becomes crumbly. Press 2/3 of the crust into a lightly greased 9x9 inch pan.

Spoon the filling over the crust. Crumble the remaining 1/3 crust over the top of the raspberries. It will not completely cover all the top. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 30-35 minutes until it is golden brown. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Store in the refrigerator.

Breakfast Cookies 1 cup butter, softened 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 cup brown sugar 3 cups oatmeal 2 tsp. vanilla 1 cup, chopped raisins or 2 eggs dried cranberries 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup chopped peanuts 1/4 cup ground flax seeds 1/2 cup shredded coconut 1 tsp. salt 1 cup dark chocolate chips 1 tsp. baking soda Using a mixer, beat together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix well. In another bowl, stir together the flour, ground flax seeds, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add it into the creamed mixture in 2 batches. Mix in the oats, raisins, peanuts, coconut and chocolate chips until just combined. Using a tablespoon, drop portions of dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.

By Gladwyn Scott Neepawa Banner & Press

GCB Wildcats head coach Corey Forbes pictured with current Wildcats and alumni.

By Gladwyn Scott Neepawa Banner & Press Trey Dickson’s hat trick and three assists powered the GCB Wildcats (23-9-0) to a 6-5 overtime win over the Crocus Plainsmen (8-24-0) at Enns Arena in Brandon Sunday, Feb. 27. The game was knotted 1-1 after 20 minutes and Crocus led 5-4 after two periods. Dickson, unassisted, tied the match with 3:36 left in the game and fired the winner, his 40th, at 3:06 of overtime. Single goals were notched by Kylan Aitken (25th), Jaren Waldner (26th) and Preston Shearer. Waldner also collected three assists. The Wildcats were without captain Deegan Campbell and Johnny Meyers, but outshot the hosts 77-30. Landon Nadeau fired a pair for Crocus. Zech Baker and Carson Mooney shared goaltending duties for the visitors.

Jaren Waldner scored the tying and winning goals as the Wildcats edged the Boissevain-Souris Broncos 4-3 in a shootout at Glenboro Wednesday, Mar. 2. The Broncos collected the only first period marker

and outshot the Wildcats 31-30.

Preston Shearer, unassisted, tied the game in the second frame. Trey Dickson knotted the contest 2-2 with help from Waldner at 4:59 of the final frame and Waldner and Dickson combined at 2:34 to send the game into a scoreless overtime of four-onfour. Replying for the Broncos were Connor Graham, Drew Barclay and Hunter Arde. Jaren was the only shooter to dent the twine in the shootout. Carson Mooney was able to shut down the Broncos. The hosts were without three regulars, Deegan Campbell, Johnny Meyers and Dylan Hood, but used two bantams, Kaelan Waldner and Colton Knox.

The Wildcats (25-9-0) finished off their regular Westman League schedule in Carberry February, Mar. 4 with a 6-1 decision over Crocus Plains. Kylan Aitken sank the only goal in the first 20 minutes with help from Carson Nakonechny.

Looking Back 1972: Neepawa resident shares drawn newspaper 8 NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Tuesday, March 12, 1912 Increased demand for the product of the Neepawa Brick Co. necessitates the construction of another kiln. The present kiln has a capacity of 200,000 bricks and a new one of similar size will be built in the spring.

Last year the output was 1,300,000 but this year it will exceed the two million mark. Twenty men will be employed during the coming season.

100 years ago, Tuesday, March 14, 1922 Kelwood: Miss Lilian Goddard has been confined to her bed with an attack of pleurisy.

Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, pleurisy is a condition in which the two large, thin layers of tissue (known as the pleura) that separate your lungs from your chest wall become inflamed.

90 years ago, Friday, March 11, 1932 A. C. Merriman has purchased the block on Mountain Ave. next to the Bank of Montreal and is remodelling the second floor into suites, which are expected to be ready for occupancy in a short time.

80 years ago, Thursday, March 12, 1942 Persons of Japanese race or belonging to Japanese companies are forbidden to acquire or hold lands or grow crops in Canada under an amendment to the defence of Canada regulations.

70 years ago, Thursday, March 13, 1952 Arden: Mrs. E. G. Hipwell underwent a tonsillectomy in Neepawa hospital last weekend.

The Canadian Destroyer HMCS Sioux was welcomed back to her home port of Esquimalt, B.C. Mar. 8, after completing her second tour of duty in Korean waters.

The first annual bonspiel sponsored by the Manitoba Plumbers’ and Heaters’ organization held here

Sunday was a high ly successful event. The bonspiel was most enjoyable and it is likely Neepawa will be the yearly scene of the event.

60 years ago, Tuesday, March 14, 1962 Both Neepawa teams topped their respective divisions in the annual Tom T hu mb Hockey Tournament Saturday at the Sports Arena…

IntheAdivision,Neepawa defeated the Minnedosa team in the final 6-0, and in the B class the local team won from Eden 4-2.

T he L e g io n H a l l , Neepawa, was the scene of a very happy occasion last Sunday afternoon, Mar. 4, when Mrs. Hugh Campbell, a pioneer of the Neepawa District, was honoured by her family at a surprise dinner, the occasion being her 80th birthday (Saturday, Mar. 3)...

Mrs. Campbell was born in Kromfors, Sweden, in 1882, coming out to the Minnedosa district in Manitoba in 1893.

Following her marriage, she and Mr. Campbell farmed in the Franklin district until 1948, when illness forced a retirement to Neepawa.

Mr Campbell passed away in 1949.

50 years ago, Thursday, March 9, 1972 A Neepawa resident recently came into possession of what must surely be a collector’s item: a 1915 edition of the Weekly 101, the world’s first, last and only newspaper printed by hand in lead pencil.

Mabel McEwen received the paper, and some related documents, among some possessions of her father, A. C. Chapman, following his recent death.

The eight page newspaper, dated Aug. 12, 1915, features local news, sports, entertainment, society events, war news, advertisements and pictures (drawings). It was published in Lawrenceburg, Indiana,

by Robert R. Fitzgerald, better known as “Mooney Mingles”.

Done entirely by hand, the paper is laid out in such a way as to appear set in type if viewed from a distance of

two or three feet.

The paper was established Apr. 7, 1914. In a letter to Mr. Chapman dated Oct. 19, 1915 the editor Fitzgerald said he had so far printed 235 copies of the paper.

The paper appeared in two editions a week, Wednesday and Saturday.

The copies were usually of eight pages, which took 18 hours to print. Mr. Fitzgerald worked on them “five to six hours each evening and night” on his return from his ten-houra-day regular job with the Bishop Saw Company.

40 years ago, Thursday, March 11, 1982 Langdale Enterprises, a group of Neepawa investors, have withdrawn their bid to purchase Neepawa Food Processors after a meeting Mar. 3 in Winnipeg with representatives of Champs Food Systems.

The fate of the bid was sealed when it was learned that only the eviscerating plant was for sale, said Dave Jorundson, spokesman for Langdale Enterprises…

The plant was one of Neepawa largest employers at the time of closing in October, 1980. At least 36 people were left without jobs.

30 years ago, Tuesday, March 10, 1992 Kelwood School has been taken off the chopping block– for the coming year, at least.

At a meeting held in the school last Thursday, parents were told their children will be able to attend Kelwood School for the coming school year.

But what will happen after that is yet to be decided, said Turtle River School Division board chairman Eltie Pierce…

The school will continue to operate as a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school. Two years ago, Kelwood School lost its high school due to declining enrollments. That decision meant students in Grades 9 through 12 are bussed to schools in either McCreary or Glenella.

20 years ago, Monday, March 11, 2002 The interim CEO of the Marquette Regional

Health Authority says unless the province increases its funding, the RHA won’t be able to afford nurses’ wage demands…

The province has already said it can’t afford the nurses’ wage demands.

[Ted] Bartlett said with a $2.2-million deficit, the RHA would also be hard pressed to come up with extra cash to pay its 348 nurses…

Marquette has been operating in the red ink for the past four years.

The deficit has climbed from $161,000 in 1998, to $800,000 in 1999, to $1.4-million in 2000, to $2.2-million in 2001.

Legacy of T. Eaton Company Ltd. still remains

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press A piece of history was eagerly shared with the Neepawa Banner & Press on Mar. 5. On that day, Neepawa’s Linda Ford brought in a catalogue for T. Eaton Company Ltd., commonly known as Eaton’s. The company itself is noted as an iconic Canadian department store that significantly shaped shopping in the country.

The catalogue in Linda’s possession is dated to 1901 and is in “very, very good condition”.

“It was my mother-in law’s– Helen Ford. After she passed away, we got a box of old magazines and this catalogue was in there.

So I actually have a Canadian Home Journal from, I think, 1935 and a couple of other old magazines,” Linda enthused. “It was part of my childhood– A Christmas catalogue always came out. So you always went right through all of the Christmas catalogue and looked at all the toys. I remember doing that when

However, Timothy developed a “Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded” policy in 1870. This meant that if a customer wasn’t happy with their purchase, their money would be refunded. Timothy also sought to cut out wholesalers as much as possible, choosing to go to the United Kingdom and Europe himself to buy directly from suppliers. These factors were reportedly quite attractive to shoppers.

National expansion T he 18 8 0 s brought strong revenues to Eaton’s, and Timothy began acquiring additional properties in Toronto. Then, in the late ‘80s, the company’s roots were strong enough and the foundations laid for national expansion. As Canada’s railway system grew, the company was able to offer lower freight rates to customers. That fee eventually changed to free, for any order above $25. As well, the company opened a mail order building in Toronto in 1903.

Neepawa requests more volunteers for Fire Department

Some news and notes from Neepawa Town Council

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The first council meeting for the Town of Neepawa in March was a relatively uneventful session. One item of note that came out of the gathering, however, was a request for more Fire Department volunteers.

Councillor and deputy mayor Brian Hedley noted that the Department is looking at adding more firefighter positions.

Hedley said that the criteria to volunteer include: • Being over the age of 18; • Live within f ive kilometres of

• Applications for individuals interested in volunteering are available at the Town Office.

Park Lake update The bridge construction tender for Park Lake closed on Monday, Mar. 7.

It is expected that a decision on the

winning bid will be made quickly, then announced at an upcoming Council meeting. The bridge that had been in place was destroyed by the 2020 Canada Day weekend flood, that severely damaged Park Lake and some low lying areas in Neepawa.

Meanwhile, the installation of a riprap wall is nearly complete. Riprap is an expanse of stones, concrete or other hard substances installed to prevent erosion around bridges and/ or building pilings or on shores. The tree scrubbing remova, which began on Feb. 16, has been completed.

Neepawa closed out 2021 with a whole lot of extra money in its pocket. Chief administrative officer Colleen Synchyshyn reported to Council on Tuesday, Mar. 1, that the Town had an audited surplus from its general operating fund of $1.73 million.

While the Town usually does see a surplus in this fund each year, the amount accrued in 2021 is larger than normal. Synchyshyn cited increased revenue of around $791,000 due to, what she called, unanticipated landfills as a primary reason for these results (i.e.

- sold land on the former

C.N. property). Increased revenue of $247,000 from additional property taxes and decreased expenses on an array of projects are also reasons for these numbers.

In response to this surplus, council voted to transfer the majority of that money back into the general operating fund reserves. This will allow for it to be available to towards the 2022 budget and future projects.

The utility operating surplus, meanwhile, was $205,449, which is more in line with the numbers normally seen at the end of the year. Increased water and sewer sales are the reason for this result.

Bombers battle back from brink Minnedosa upset Cartwright in THHL East semi-final

By Eoin Devereux

On the brink of elimination in their best-of-five playoff series against the Cartwright Clippers, it would have been pretty easy for the Minnedosa Bombers to simply call it a year; ‘Hey, good effort guys, but it just wasn’t meant to be. See you next season.’ But instead of giving up, the Bombers gutted it out, which ultimately paid off with a 3-games-to-2 series win the

game winner, with just nine-seconds left in regulation, to give Minnedosa the victory.

Game two followed on Mar. 5 in Minnedosa and would see the Bombers collect a 4-2 win. This time, it would be Shane Jury, Ryan Heino and Kelly Stinson who propelled the Bombers to victory, with Jury notching a pair of goals. This reversal of fortune would set up a fifth and deciding game on Sunday, Mar. 6 in Cartwright. In that matinee matchup, Minnedosa would

complete the unexpected comeback with a 3-2 win.

Wes Lewis picked up a pair of the Bombers’ goal, including what would end up being the game and series winner. Saler had the other goal, while goaltender Devon Fordyce picked up his third straight win.

Next up for Minnedosa will be the East Division’s top-seed team, the Gladstone Lakers.

The West Final, meanwhile, will have the Boissevain Border Kings take on the Virden Oil Kings.

Tribute Bernice Martha Todoruk Bernice Martha Todoruk, of Neepawa, passed away peacefully on March 1, 2022 at Country Meadows Personal Care Home at the age of 84 years.

When Bernice wasn't busy helping her children or babysitting, you could find her enjoying the simple things in life, playing cards, puzzles, bingo, watching her Toronto Blue Jays and curling. Her favourite activity was walking, she put on more miles in a day than most of us do in a month, no matter the weather.

While working at Eastview Lodge, she always took part in the annual Big Bike Ride for Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, a cause near and dear to her heart.

Mom you will be: Always loved Never forgotten Forever missed Thank you for being a wonderful mom, grandma, wife and friend.

Continued from Page 10 As a result of these building blocks and the company’s success up to that point, an Eaton’s store was established on Portage Ave., in Winnipeg Manitoba in 1905. This expansion was noted by the Canadian Encyclopedia as Eaton’s first major presence outside of Toronto. The store was overseen by Timothy’s son, John Craig Eaton, who later assumed the role of company president after Timothy’s passing in 1907.

Eaton’s saw many more expansions under John’s care and, by 1930, the company had employed over 25,000 people and controlled almost 60 per cent of department store sales in Canada.

A scan from the Eaton’s catalogue demonstrating a piece of women’s fashion.

Declaration of bankruptcy Eaton’s wasn’t without its issues. The company garnered criticism related to the labour, such as resisting unionization and using strikebreakers; wage gaps between the men and women and firing women for their participation in strikes. Criticism of the company only sharpened during the Depression. On top of that, Eaton’s was also met

with hardships such as strong competition from SimpsonsSears, a partnership formed by the chains Sears Roebuck and Simpsons in 1952.

With these and a few other additional factors in play, the company experienced years of losses. By August of 1999, the company declared bankruptcy and Simpsons-Sears– known as Sears Canada by this time– took over the company shares.

Lighting a candle in prayer for Ukraine

Members of many faith denominations gathered at St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Neepawa on Tuesday. The Neepawa Ministerial hosted a prayer vigil that day to support Ukraine in this time of crisis with the Russian invasion.

The hour-long service was filled with hymns, scripture reading, prayer and candle lighting. A collection was also taken to be sent to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, with a total of $3,180 given. Pictured left: Rev. Gladys Anderson, of the Knox Presbyterian Church in Neepawa, lit a prayer candle at the end of the service.

Pharmacy Appreciation Month

Celebrating the pharmacy teams who have helped carry us through the pandemic

Submitted CPhA

March is Pharmacy Appreciation Month (PAM) in Canada, the annual national campaign that shines a spotlight on all things pharmacy and celebrates the extraordinary efforts and contributions of pharmacy professionals to Canada’s health-care system.

Pharmacy professionals have taken on a lot to help the country through the pandemic. They’ve stayed open and accessible for their patients, showing up each day ready to care for and support them. They’ve been leaders in our communities, educating and guiding patients through the many challenges over the past two years.

“Canadian pharmacy teams have played a huge

role in the nationwide public health efforts to fight COVID-19, most recently working extremely hard to vaccinate our kids and meet the surge in demand for booster shots,” says Dr. Danielle Paes, Chief Pharmacist Officer, Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA).

“I’m extremely proud of my colleagues who have now administered more than 17 million COVID-19 vaccines across Canada– on top of all the regular duties and care they provide.”

Pharmacists have embraced their role in public health, expanding their practices to fill critical gaps in care exposed by the pandemic. In addition to screening, testing and vaccinating patients, they’ve played an important role in educating their communities on evolving medical evidence and guidelines and helped

to mitigate the spread of misinformation. They have also expanded their role in areas like mental health, point-of-care testing and fighting the opioid crisis.

“While PAM is a time to appreciate and celebrate the role of pharmacy professionals, we also need to acknowledge the challenges faced over two difficult years,” adds Paes. “The pandemic and the latest Omicron wave have put pressures on pharmacy teams like never before.”

Part of appreciating our pharmacy workforce is acknowledging their need for our support. CPhA launched its Pharmacy Workforce Wellness initiative recently and conducted a national survey of Canadian pharmacy teams.

We will be releasing the survey results and hosting important conversations
