New truck arrives at Neepawa Fire Department

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press Last week saw a major new arrival at the Neepawa Fire Department. The brand new fire truck that the Town ordered last fall came rolling in on Wednesday, June 22.

The new truck is replacing a 31-year-old model on the fleet that broke down in September of last year.

After looking at what it would cost to fix that truck, the Town Council decided it was best to replace it with a new model. The new truck, an Acres Urban Interface Freightliner, was ordered from Acres Industries Inc., based near Wawanesa, in October of 2021. Council approved the purchase at a price of just under $500,000.

Fire chief Yves Guillas noted that having the new vehicle done in less than a year is very impressive. “I’m amazed it went as quick as it did,” he stated, adding that quotes from other manufacturers estimated it would take about a year and a half.

Guillas explained that the old truck had a pump and roll system, which meant that the truck could be moving while water was being pumped. This is a feature none of the other trucks in the fleet have, but the new one does.

“It’s got lots of different options that the other trucks never had,” Guillas added. This truck has nozzles on the front, which Guillas said would allow him to be spraying a fire without even having to get out of the truck. It also holds more water than the other trucks and has more foam

capabilities. The new one also has four-wheel-drive, which will allow easier access to fires that can’t be reached from the road. The console inside the cab also allows more control and monitoring of systems than any interface they currently have in the other trucks.

This is the only truck that the Neepawa department has that was custom made specifically for them, so Guillas said he’s very happy with how everything turned out. The manufacturers were always in contact, check ing with him on where they wanted certain

noted that the final bill was still exactly what they had originally been quoted.

With the old truck out of service since September, Guillas shared that he’s relieved they once again have three pumper trucks on the fleet. Having only two available for about nine months was a bit nervewracking, as it typically takes all three trucks in the case of a major fire. He noted that they were lucky a case didn’t come up when they needed the third truck during that span of time.

The new truck hasn’t yet been used on a call, but Guillas said he expects they’ll use it as their number one truck for a while to get used to the setup. The firefighting crew had some training on the new vehicle when it first arrived and this week, they loaded the equipment into it and practiced with it on Tuesday.

The truck will be featured at the Canada Day celebrations at Riverbend Park, so kids and other residents can get a close-up look at everything it has to offer.

“We’re really excited about it,” Guillas shared.

“We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.”

Neepawa Legion recognizing retired military member

Grade 6 NMS students show appreciation in the community

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

A retired member of the Canadian military with roots in Neepawa will soon receive some well deserved though long delayed local recognition. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 23 will host a ceremony honouring Lieutenant-General Ray Crabbe (Ret), on Wednesday, July 13.

The event will include the unveiling of a commemorative portrait of Crabbe, who was born in Neepawa and lived in the community until he was 18-years-old.

Upon graduation from the University of Manitoba, he would go on to serve in the Canadian Army, with tours of duty with the United Nations in Cyprus and NATO in PHOTO BY KIRA PATERSON Germany. Over the years, he climbed the Tammy Dudenhoffer’s Grade 6 class at Neepawa Middle School was out showing ranks, with notable postings across Canada, their appreciation, via tasty treats, to businesses and groups on June 24. The the US, the former Republic of Yugoslavia students had to narrow their choisces down from 20 to four. and several other global postings.

Pictured: Students Andi Noriega, Shane Estabillo and Lance Libadisos stopped by the Banner & Press, one of the chosen businesses. They provided the staff with delicious cake, spring rolls, brownies and other delectable goodies.

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press The Grade 6 classes at Neepawa Middle School (NMS) have been busy with their year-end projects lately. Each of the four classes chose a different way to perform acts of appreciation for something or someone in the community.

Tammy Dudenhoffer’s 6C class chose to show their appreciation to several organizations in the community. The class held a discussion, with students making suggestions on which business they thought should be recognized and why they deserved appreciation.

After the class discussed over 20 different businesses and groups in town, they had a vote and narrowed it down to four: the Beautiful Plains Community Medical Clinic, Mountain Medical Clinic, the local Spruce Plains RCMP de-

tachment and the Neepawa Banner & Press. They chose the organizations to thank them for keeping the community healthy, safe and informed.

What did they do to show their appreciation?

They brought goodies. The students each planned a treat to cook or bake and could either make them at home with their family or in the Home Economics classroom at school. Then, on Friday, June 24, the class went for a walk through town and delivered to their chosen recipients. “It was all organized by them [the students],” Dudenhoffer expressed. “The kids just love giving back.”

As for the other Grade 6s, Denise Selewich’s class chose to make cards for members of the community. Each student thought of someone they wanted to show their appreciation to and wrote a note for that person. In JoAnn Free-

man’s class, they decided to hold a luau for the Student Council, to show their appreciation for everything the group has done for the NMS this year.

Dudenhoffer explained that the Grade 6 acts of appreciation were inspired by a kind gesture the students made in 2019, when the classes made goodies for the construction workers building the middle school. She noted that the teachers all agreed this was something they wanted to do again to wrap up the school year.

The acts of appreciation were put on hold the last two years due to COVID-19 restrictions, but Dudenhoffer said that they plan to make this an annual project. “As Grade 6 teachers, we want each year to show our appreciation in some way,” she stated.

“It’s very important that we honour Lieutenant-General Crabbe. it should be a big event, hopefully we will be able to get a big turnout. On a Wednesday, during the week in the summer, who knows, but we’re staying optimistic,” stated Ebner.

In a previous interview with the Banner & Press, Ebner also emphasized the significance of Crabbe’s military career and how it should be celebrated on a local level.

“We discussed how it might be nice to recognize [Lieutenant-General Crabbe], because he had held several important positions within the Canadian military over his 35 years of active service,” said Ebner.

“And, really, it’s not talked about all that much locally. Not many people realize that he is from Neepawa. The first 18 years, the formative years of his life, were spent here.

And his life story is terrific and it’s the type of story that should be told and remembered here, within the community. This is the type of guy that should be recognized in our legion and in the town.”

The commemoration ceremony is set to begin on July 13 at 4:00 p.m. It will begin with speeches at the cenotaph, followed by a celebratory parade and dinner at the Legion building. Everyone is invited to attend, though you are asked to contact the Legion to confirm the amount of meal needed for the supper.

Long awaited is an understatement This ceremony is actually the third attempt at a commendation for Crabbe, as the first two scheduled events had to be postponed due to extenuating circumstances. The first time it happened was in late 2020 due to the reinstallation of COVID-19 restrictions on assembly within the province.

The second time an ceremony was schedule, but The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, ultimately postponed was as some understand slowness. Instead he is on Remembrance Day 2021. patient with you, not wanting anyone to That cancellation was due to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. the massive snow storm that 2 Peter 3:9 (New International Version) passed through the province on that day. That weather event forced Crabbe to cancel travelling from Winnipeg to Neepawa to attend.

Important to honour the man Neepawa Legion board member Harvey Ebner said that they are thrilled to be able to arrange this third attempt. He says they’re hopeful this time, there will be no issues.

Innovation needs to be achieved

O

n Monday it was revealed that the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg was calling in paramedics to help out at the Emergency Ward. This process was heavily criticized by NDP leader, Wab Kinew.

I have fair bit of respect for Wab Kinew.

We have met a few times and I hosted him at my table at an AGM banquet for the Manitoba Community Newspapers Association when I was MCNA president. On the odd occasion when I visit the Manitoba legislature, and we cross paths, Kinew always takes a moment to chat. I appreciate that.

On this paramedic/ER issue though, I would disagree with Mr. Kinew. This is not a new low on health care as Kinew’s criticism quoted in a Winnipeg Free Press story suggests, it’s common sense.

I am pretty sure this practice is done at rural hospitals. Admittedly, rural paramedics “may” not be under quite as much pressure as their Winnipeg based counterparts but it only makes sense, if there is any uncommitted time in their shifts that they help out in the hospital. The Winnipeg situation is a bit different in that, HSC is asking paramedics to take whole shifts. I say if they are willing to do it, go for it.

The staff need the help and I am sure the extra wages would be welcomed by the paramedics Back in the early days of COVID-19, some Winnipeg care homes were criticized for calling in paramedics and ambulances when residents were under duress. The care homes were running short on staff, which of course shouldn’t happen but it does. When the care homes knew they couldn’t keep up, they should have called in the paramedics sooner. In my mind, it’s not a question of calling in paramedic help.

It’s a question of why they didn’t make the call sooner. When a person’s health is dangerously slipping, for whatever reason, who better to call? It’s no shame to call paramedics when a person falls ill at their residence. Why should it have been criticized at care homes? The care neepawa

Right in the Centre Ken Waddell home is their residence after all.

When we approach a problem, we tend to use a segmented method. It can also be called the silo approach.

We tend to look at a problem only from our own experience and only within our own strict jurisdiction. Hence the term silo approach. Everybody keeps their head down, not looking upward or outward, all the while somebody in another silo may well have a better idea.

If paramedics are able and willing to help, go for it.

I suspect, and have even observed, that strict job descriptions, backed up by union agreements can hamper innovation and efficiency. When confronted with a problem, it’s all too easy to say, “It’s not in my job description, not my problem.” Thankfully, in most cases, be it in health care or in other fields of work, the level of concern overrides the hesitation factor and the problem gets solved. In fact, the union heads for both the paramedic and nurses unions were quick to decry the use of paramedics in hospital ERs. I am sure the union leaders are very frustrated with lots of things but their very predictable reaction simply shows the problem. It isn’t always more money or more staff that is needed, sometimes it’s innovation.

The desire for innovation is high. In a recent column in the Winnipeg Free Press it was noted, “According to a Probe Research/Free Press poll conducted in early June, 74 per cent of respondents said it’s either a “very good” or “somewhat good” idea to increase capacity in the health-care system through private providers.”

It seems to me that health care has become very bureaucratic and bound by traditions that sometimes would be better broken or tossed. The above quoted poll also shows strong support for private providers across all political party supporters. We need to remember that almost all doctors are already private providers but paid by the province.

The voting public should insist at the ballot box that all nonsense be tossed from health care. We, the people, see 40 per cent of our tax dollars flow into tax funded health care. In addition hospital and community foundations pour millions more into facilities and equipment. On top of that, people pay for a lot of drugs and specialty care out of their own pocket. With so much of everyone’s money going into health care, one might be tempted to ask for more efficiency and better results.

Health care workers feel overrun, over worked and under paid. Surely, we can fix that, can’t we? One small step might be to be more innovative such as asking paramedics to apply their skills in emergency situations. Innovation needs to be encouraged, not beaten down.

Some would say, we need more money in the system. That may be true but if we ask anybody inside the system, I bet everyone of them can list at least three ways efficiency could be improved. All the leadership, at all levels, needs to ask the workers at all levels. The answers may surprise them.

Raising a ruckus…

t’s no secret that I am a Snoopy/Charlie Brown fan.

In re-reading volumes of Charles M. Schulz’s work, I am more and more aware of the various social issues he addressed. He took a firm stand against public opinion when in 1968 he introduced Franklin, the first person of colour in the comic strip. Those of us who grew up with the cartoon would not have seen the challenges behind the selection. And I love the Christmas pageant that has become a holiday favourite.

In one of the Peanuts Parade books– Don’t Hassle Me With Your Sighs, Chuck– one four scene strip has Sally in the classroom. 1.Raising her hand, Sally says –‘ Ma’am, I have a suggestion for a class project. 2. “ Why don’t we all get together and raise a ruckus? They’re easy to raise…all you have to do is shout and they grow.” 3. Sally leaning back in her seat- HAHAHAHAHA. 4. A subdued Sally “yes, ma’am”. I love it!

I have raised a few ruckuses in my time. The first social justice one I raised was back in grade seven. The teacher was one of our community, Anglo Saxon, married with children, back at work to supplement the farm. Our class was fairly divided, Anglo and Mennonite. Two of my class mates were from lower income, hard working, and school did not come easy for them. One day the teacher (a) spoke disrespectfully to them and (b) misquoted scripture. It was a response to one of them asking for help understanding a concept and the answer thrown at them was to the effect that ‘God helps those who help themselves so for God’s sake help yourself!” As the neighbour woman returned to the teacherage at noon, I waylaid her. Yep the scrawny little farm kid stood up for her peers. With respect, and a firm upper lip– for it began to quiver, the jig was up– I reprimanded her for her tone and her words. And continued to attend school! And be her neighbour. It was a minor ruckus in the big picture.

Within the last few years we have witnessed more ruckuses than I ever recall seeing before. Some made some sense to me, and some did not. But Sally is right– ‘all you have to do is shout and they grow.’ I am concerned about social justice, I am concerned about showing mercy– being merciful. Much as I try not to make hasty decisions, doing due diligence before formulating an opinion I speak aloud, I have struggled to remain polite and merciful in many situations. That streak of ‘that’s wrong’ runs deep and swift through my veins. I encourage those who will listen that my generation- the elders, mostly solvent, mostly educated and mostly time rich- have the power through letters and calls to officials at whatever level the concern lies. It is our duty to love justice and seek mercy. We have a duty to speak for those who cannot. We have a duty to call leaders to accountability.

Almost every Sunday I lift my voices with countless others as we offer the words of our creed – ‘ to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil’. Go– raise a righteous ruckus!

My Canada Day regret Faithfully I A Yours n a few weeks, I will complete my 71st year on this planet. I have lived all my life in western Canada. I was born in Alberta. I moved to Neepawa in the summer of 1996. It has been my home ever since. I have always considered myself to be a proud Canadian.

But after 26 years here, I also consider myself to be a proud Manitoban.

Being born in this country has opened many doors of opportunity for me. It has also exposed a problem that, until recently, I didn’t know I had. My problem is that I don’t see what other people see in this country.

I first became aware of it several years ago, while on a short family holiday in Grand Forks, North Dakota. One of the items we needed had to be purchased from the city hospital’s pharmacy. While I was making the purchase, the clerk who assisted me saw that I was from Canada.

“I really like your health care system,” she said. “I wish we had the same thing

here.” I was somewhat surprised by what I heard.

Several months later, I thought about her words and I began to ask myself: “What does she see in our health care system that I don’t see?” At the time, I didn’t ask her, so I don’t know. I have some ideas; but I cannot and will not presume to speak for her or any other non-Canadian who shares the same opinion.

Other similar questions came to mind. I wondered, for example, what my ancestors saw that caused them to pack their belongings, leave the lands of their birth and settle on farms in rural Alberta. What did they see in this country that I don’t see?

That question was easy to answer. They were look-

Canada gave them that opportunity and that is why they chose to settle here instead of somewhere else.

We, who were born and raised in this country and have enjoyed these privileges since birth, are tempted to take them for granted. We consider them to be normal.

We may wonder why those living under such oppression don’t rise up in revolt, kick their oppressors out of office and put someone else in their place.

One reason is because they know how dangerous it can be to disagree with those in power. But people can only take so much. One day, the oppressed will have had enough. They will stand up to their oppressors, fight against them and win.

You and I live in a free country. But there is one thing about this freedom that we fail to understand.

Our freedoms don’t give us the right to do whatever we want to do. But they do give us the privilege and opportunity to engage in acts of loving service to others, doing what we can to make our communities and country better places in which to live.

Editorial - Divided but not Divisive

s some of you may remember, a few weeks ago I wrote a letter to the editor praising Ken Waddell (and the Banner) for its journalistic integrity. I felt the need to write this letter and hoped it would be published for a couple of reasons. The first of those reasons ties into Ken’s editorial last week “Good Enough isn’t good enough”.

Aiming for excellence is a rare quality today, especially in journalism, therefore when I see the effort, I think it should be praised. The second reason was to make an important point that we are the main problem with our political system. Both these concepts were behind my next email to Ken to suggest running a weekly political article.

In this age of social media, we have forgotten how important traditional media is to our political system, and the effects of this shows in our government. They manipulate us with misinformation and half-truths because it benefits them, and although we may not have caused this problem, we are doing nothing to prevent it either.

I don’t profess to have all the answers, but I do know that the solution to misinformation is information. I often argue that we need to start teaching civics in high school again, but I don’t see that happening soon, and that is why the media is so important now. In my opinion, the media will play the biggest role in defining the future of our political system because I know that, and I cannot stress this point enough, democracy cannot exist without free, objective, and skilled media sources. I also know that social media is none of these things.

I read Ken’s editorials faithfully every week now because I know they will always be factual, well-written and political, and every week I could write a letter to the editor in response. Sometimes I disagree with him, sometimes I agree with him but for different reasons, and this is because we bring very different perspectives to the table.

Aside from the many obvious differences (socioeconomic, gender, etc.), we approach politics from very different perspectives. I am an advocate and studied politics, whereas Ken is a journalist and was a politician. As for ideology, mine is far left on the political spectrum and his is center-right.

I believe these differences will result in some interesting discourse and provide readers with a better understanding of why politics matters.

Whether we want to admit it or not, politics is important, and unavoidable. It is seldom neat and tidy, nor should it be, because we are a diverse society but that doesn’t mean we should avoid it all together. We have the choice whether we want to participate in the process, but regardless, every one of us affects and is affected by our political system.

That is just the nature of politics, so the way I see it, why not try to understand and participate in the process? I hope that this article will help people see that politics is messy, but it doesn’t have to be dirty.

Floods

Our recent wet weather has posed a challenge for farmers, business and home owners alike. Manitobans have been living through floods for years. The largest flood on record was in the Red River basin was in 1826. The Red River settlement was established by then. The problems had begun during the fall of 1825 with a lot of rain and continued in the winter with lots of snow. Spring had arrived late. The first warning came on May, 2, the day after the ice started breaking up. The water in the river rose 2.75 meters (nine feet) in 24 hours! The next day the waters overflowed from their banks and spread the ice outwards and swept away many homes, fences, livestock and out buildings. The settlers rushed to higher ground with some of their livestock, but still the water rose. The thunder, lightning and rain added to the settler’s misery with no shelter or food as they had fled in a hurry. They worked day and night to rescue the marooned settlers with boats and canoes. The settlers moved once again as the water rose. It would eventually rise 11.1 meters (36 ½ feet) at its worst. The diary of Francis Heron, who was a Hudson’s Bay Company clerk at Upper Fort Garry (present day Winnipeg) states,” Our new block house on the front of the fort, the best in Rupert’s Land, built last summer, was this morning carried off in an instant. It fell with a crash like thunder, as if to extinguish our hopes for safety of the remaining buildings. The houses rock to and fro like a ship at sea, every joint opens, every beam bends.” This flood nearly destroyed the Selkirk colony as it swept away animals, food, seed and the hope of planting crops that year.

1949 had been an exceptionally wet year. In the winter of 1950 came heavy snowfalls with an early thaw. The sudden break up of ice in tributary creeks caused massive ice jams in the Red River. Fast-rising flood water spread through farms and villages south of Winnipeg. The whole area to the US border was a lake. The Canadian army deployed amphibious troop carriers to move 40,000 people to safety as well as many of the animals they could get out. The water depth reached 4.6 metres (15 feet) in low lying areas. In Winnipeg every able bodied person worked to sandbag. The water reached a high of 9.2 meters (30 feet) at James Ave. in Winnipeg. Over the course of the flood, 100,000 residents were evacuated from Winnipeg homes. Winnipeg’s flooding saw approximately 10,000 homes destroyed and 5,000 buildings damaged. Years before the flood of 1950, city engineers researched the possibility of a ditch being dug around Winnipeg to divert floodwater around the city. The Manitoba government refused to take action as the project was deemed too costly. Even after the 1950 disaster they sat on their hands. In 1958, Duff Roblin was elected premier of Manitoba under the promise to build the ditch. In 1962 construction of the Floodway began for the cost of $63 million. It was affectionately nicknamed “Duff’s Ditch,” after the premier.

The overflow of the Red River in 1969 was equal to that of 1950 in severity, but Duff’s Ditch protected basements in Winnipeg from floodwater. However this floodway did not help the area south of Winnipeg with its low topography.

Dubbed the flood of the Century the 1997 flood cost $500 million in damage.The Red River crested at around 5.5 metres (24.5 feet) at the James Avenue in Winnipeg.

The emergency measures act saw around 8,000 military personnel help in the disaster.

At the flood’s peak on May 4, the Red River had more than 2,560 km2 (988 square miles) of land underwater. Nicknamed the “Red Sea”, this temporary lake forced about 75,000 people to abandon their homes. We have experienced severe flooding since the 1997 flood. Manitoba’s continues to improve flood control measures which significantly reduces the amount of damage flooding can cause.

In times of flooding many volunteers fill and move sandbags while others volunteer by making warm food for the hungry workers. I think this recipe would help in the effort of feeding cold, hungry, and tired volunteers.

Pork and apple pie 1 lb. lean ground pork 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper 1 onion, diced 1/2 tsp. each ground sage and thyme 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 double 9 inch pie crust 1 stalk celery, diced 2 tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 2 Tbsp. sugar 1/2 cup chicken broth 1/4 tsp. allspice Cook the ground pork, onion, garlic and celery until the meat is just cooked. Do not overcook. Drain off fat. Stir in the breadcrumbs, chicken broth, salt, pepper, sage and thyme. Spoon the meat mixture into the bottom pie crust. Arrange apple slices over the meat. Mix the sugar and allspice and sprinkle over apples. Put the top crust on and crimp the edges. Cut several slits on the top crust. Bake at 375°F for around 40 minutes or until filling is bubbling out of the slits slightly.

Plumas Lions Club’s annual parade returns

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press The Plumas Lions Club is returning to the streets for its annual parade on July 23. After being put on hold due to COVID-19, Plumas Lions Club president Sharni Shettler told the Banner & Press that they are eager to get out there.

“It feels good [to be able to do this again]. It’s wonderful to be back in the community and have everybody together again.

The pancake breakfast is one of our main fundraisers for our Lions Club,” said Shettler. “We have an older club, so we don’t have many events where the Lions are out and about in the community. It’s nice to have us out with our vests on so people know that we are still here and still trying to help our local community and surrounding communities as well.”

She added, “It just feels really great to be back to normal and be back with everybody where we should be.”

This year, the parade will be starting at 9:00 a.m. from the Plumas Fairgrounds. After the parade concludes at approximately 9:30 p.m.,

What’s the scoop?

everybody is invited to the skating rink to enjoy a pancake breakfast fundraiser.

And, this year, it’s for an extra special cause.

“Usually this is a general fundraiser, but we have a little girl in our communit y– Kendal l Walker – who is undergoing cancer treatment,” said Shettler.

“So the proceeds from this breakfast will all be going to support her and her treatment, which she began about a month ago now.”

The pancake breakfast has been sponsored by Neepawa area businesses Enns Brothers and Rocky Mountain Equipment.

This means that 100 per cent of every cent given by attendees will go directly towards helping Walker.

“If people are looking for a sense of community again– and obviously the money is going to a really good cause– I think those two things right there are great reasons to come out and have some fellowship with people who you maybe haven’t seen for a while,” Shettler enthused.

“And to give back to the community. I think we need some more of that– some more kindness.”

60 years ago, Tuesday, July 3, 1962 St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, Polonia, was the scene of a loverly double ring ceremony Saturday, June 2, when Joyce Lorraine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Speiss of Eden became the bride of Henry Albert Grieder, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Grieder of Neepawa.

50 years ago, Thursday, July 6, 1972 Glenella: Pupils, former pupils and friends gathered in the Glenella park to

honour Mrs. Ellen (Tim) Martin on the occasion of her retirement…

Mrs. Martin was born at Vista, Man., on June 14, 1907, the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Halliday. Ellen Halliday received her elementary education at Vista and her high-schooling at Rossburn. She chose teaching as a profession and went to Teachers’ College in Winnipeg.

MHPEC invites area potato growers to August field day

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press A full and informational day is being planned by Manitoba Horticulture Productivity Enhancement Centre Inc. (MHPEC).

Based in Carberry, MHPEC is currently organizing a field day for Aug. 9 from 9:30 a.m. to about 2:00 p.m. A segment focussed on potatoes will kick off the day, running until 11:30 and, after a break for lunch, the focus will shift to a crop diversification program at 12:45 p.m.

“We plan to give research updates to the grower community on our current projects, solicit interested collaborators to move plot scale research to the field scale and cover new research possibilities, collaborators and ideas,” said Zack Frederick, potato research agronomist for MHPEC. Frederick added, “Our topic list is pretty long, but can be summarized through our nutrient research on nitrogen and sulphur availability, green manures with brown mustards to manage soilborne diseases, cover crop research to armor soils, build

organic matter, increase nutrient cycling and increase soil health; and cultural practices to decrease disease.”

MHPEC is also setting up a time for their collaborators to have a meet and greet with growers from Manitoba Agriculture, the University of Manitoba, M21 and Tiger-Sul. “McCain, Simplot and Keystone Potato Producers Associations representatives should be present, too,” said Frederick.

The Canada Manitoba Crop Diversification Centre (CMCDC) used to hold this event annually in August, with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada running a large part of the show when they were at the facility. The height of the COVID-19 pandemic put the event on hold in previous years and, with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada withdrawing from the facility during the pandemic, it’s created some change as well.

“It’s allowed MHPEC to grow into the role and make [the field day] bigger and shape it into an event to attract more growers consultants and agronomists,” Frederick enthused. “The pandemic made our exten-

‘Opportunity for all levels of experience and education’

sion efforts more than a little unusual, but we rolled with the times. We compensated for pandemic related restrictions by releasing videos on YouTube, promoting reports on our research website, reaching out to more media partners, hosting Zoom meetings with growers and meeting in whatever capacity was allowed at those times. For the in-person event this year, we’ve changed a few things about the program.”

Scientific diversity The first change, Frederick explained, is that MHPEC has seen that the social aspects of the day are important for growers to reconnect and for connections to be made in a more casual format in conversation between growers and agronomists within the industry and with members from collaborators such as MB Agriculture. As such, they have provided time for a lengthy coffee period at the start of the day and the lunch period “specifically to set valuable time aside for such conversations.”

The second change is with the diversity of scientific expertise that will be on hand.

“I have personally done my best to bring a circle of interested parties to this show which genuinely want to connect growers to scientifically verified, cost-effective means of managing plant nutrition and disease with soil health in processing potato systems,” said Frederick. “Many of these methods are surpassing objectives set under controlled conditions and await grower collaborators to verify the method works on the large-scale. The people behind these methods not only include the traditional parties present at these meetings, but also new players to the game. “ Those wishing to attend should RSVP with site manager Garth Christison by contacting him via email at mhpec_manager@ outlook.com or by phone at 204-834-2007.

The morning portion of the event will take place at CMCDC’s off-site, located two miles north of the junction of Highways 1 and 5, north of Carberry. The lunch and afternoon portion will be located at the CMCDC facility located just northeast of the junctions of Highways 1 and 5.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

2021 saw the impacts of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic continue throughout the world and the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation was no different in seeing these impacts continue. For much of 2021 our office was closed to the public and all our events that we had planned were once again cancelled. While most would assume that this would lead to a poor year, despite all the challenges brought forth by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation continued to grow and move forward with total endowment funds exceeding $4.5 million at the conclusion of the 2021 fiscal year.

2021 was the first year that the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation Land Project took place, which despite the poor growing season seen by much of the region, turned out to be profitable for the foundation with a profit of $11,000 being realized and invested by the BPCF into the community fund. Many thanks go out the Town of Neepawa for the opportunity provided to the BPCF by way of the land rental agreement, Jack Falk, Jamie Denbow, John Lavich, and Keith Jury for their time and efforts in securing sponsorship, product, and labour for the project, as well as the many companies and individuals who have provided seed, fertilizer, chemical, planting, harvesting, tillage, grain transportation, and anything else that was required to make this event a success. We hope the 2022 crop year again proves successful for the community foundation.

While 2021 saw the cancellation of the annual grant luncheon once again due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we did broadcast the announcement of the annual grants on NACTV with a locally produced television event. That event saw the foundation announce grants and scholarships totalling $176,466 for the 2021 year. These grants were again distributed to many organizations and events throughout the Town of Neepawa, RM of Rosedale, RM of Glenella-Lansdowne, and Langford portion of the RM of North CypressLangford.

June of 2021 saw Brad Walker and Mark Morehouse conclude their terms on the board of directors of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation. We would like to thank each of them for their time and commitment made to the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation.

Their contributions as board members and leaders within the community foundation did not go unnoticed.

In September 2021 we welcomed two new board members, Iris Kooting and Terry Beuchler, to the BPCF board. We look forward to their continued input and growth as

members of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation board of directors.

As the president of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation, I would personally like to say how proud of and grateful for the contributions made by each and every board member presently serving on the board of directors of the BPCF. We continue to face new challenges, seemingly daily, in this post-pandemic world and our board has persevered through them all.

I would be remiss to not mention the efforts put forward by Brenda Kryschuk, our Executive Director, who does her part and more to ensure the growth and stability of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation. She has consistently provided the necessary guidance to the board of directors and has served as an excellent resource for all board members with her knowledge and passion for all things related to the community foundation.

With the turning towards 2022, we look forward to being able to once again host many of the events that everyone in the community has come to look forward too from the community foundation. We will be seeing the return of the JC Lavich Construction Hard Hat Golf Tournament, benefiting the community foundation, as well as many of the events around the Giving Challenge Week in November returning this year. As well, watch for the premier of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation Dancing with the Stars event that will be premiering in February 2023, with many plans already being put in motion for that event.

On behalf of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the members of the community who have continued to support the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation through the past year. Without your support the ongoing efforts of the Community Foundation would not be possible.

Thank you to all of you in our communities who have supported the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation in some way in the past. We look forward to any continued support that you can provide, allowing us to continue to make a difference in our communities every year.

Congratulations to the Organizers of Filipino Heritage Month 2022 HyLife recently had the opportunity to celebrate the rich history and culture of Neepawa's Filipino community. The festivities exemplify the significant contributions that make our towns, cities, and country better places to live.

"HyLife's success would not be possible without the dedicated and driven Filipino community.

Many have traveled and started a new adventure with our company. From our plant here in Neepawa to our barns, accounting, and human resources, you have helped us grow and play vital roles across HyLife."

“It’s been my dream, I am living here now, and is this amazing, surreal, to see. I love my community and everyone is welcoming and this day is about our independence and sharing our story.”

"We came to work at HyLife, and I am here almost 11 years. The people in Neepawa are great.

We want to celebrate the Filipino heritage with our neighbours. I am very, very proud because lots of volunteers, they are busy working and helping, they are here to serve a meal to the people living here and celebrate in Neepawa. This is what our culture is about."

NACI’s Trynity Turner wins provincial javelin gold

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Tr y n it y Tur ner was simply golden when it mattered the most at the MHSAA Provincial Track & Field Championship.

The Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) student athlete competed in javelin and won with an impressive throw of 36.99 metres at the three day event, which was held in Winnipeg earlier this month. Turner’s winning toss was a personal best for the year and was a little over four metres better than her nearest competitor. This capped off a solid few weeks of competition for the high school junior, as she had also claimed first place at

the Zone Seven Championship in Neepawa.

Even more impressive, this is the first year Trynity has competed specifically in javelin. She told the Banner & Press that it seems to be a bit of a specialty event for the family. Her brother Daxx, who now competes for the University of Manitoba, won gold for NACI over the years in many events, including javelin.

As well, her father Chris Turner remains a record holder at the high school for the speciality.

As for her performance at the Provincials, Trynity said she was optimistic about a top-3 finish in here category, but knew that it wasn’t going to be easy.

“There was some good

competition out there, so you can’t take any of it for granted. I was hoping for a top-3 finish, but you never know until you get out there,” Turner stated.

“As we went through [the competition] I was feeling pretty good. The throw that I won with was my second [of six total] throws, so that took some of the pressure off the remainder of the competition.”

A fantastic year overall NACI track coach Bryce Koscielny said this result was a very impressive culmination to the year for Turner.

“Trynity had a fantastic year overall and a wonderful Provincial Champion-

Neepawa Cubs just keep on winning

ship! She’s both the Zone and Provincial champion in javelin with a personal best throw in the Provincial final so you can’t really ask for anything else as a coach,” stated Koscielny.

“She has worked hard all year, she’s easy to coach and I’m looking forward to seeing what she can do next year. The weather this year was challenging and hopefully next year Trynity and the rest of our team can get a better spring for training and hopefully there’s still some farther throws to come.”

Turner was not the only highlight for NACI at Provincials this year, as the SUBMITTED PHOTO junior varsity girls team Trynity Turner stands tall on the podium after winning were silver medalists in the the gold medal in javelin at the MHSAA Track & Field 4x400m relay.

Win seven straight to close out SCBL regular season

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

An impressive seven game winning streak has pushed the Neepawa Cubs into first place in the Santa Clara Baseball League (SCBL) standings. The Cubs (7-3-0) most recent results started with a 10-3 win over the Carberry Royals on Wednesday, June 22.

Neepawa scored a lone run in each of the first three innings of the game, before really opening up its lead with a three performance in the fourth. After being blanked by the Royals in the bottom of the fifth, the Cubs ensured their victory by bringing home four more runs in the sixth, to make the final a 10-3 score.

Craig Casto, who leads the SCBL statistically at the plate, was a perfect 4-for-4 on the night with a pair of runs batted in (RBI) and a stolen base. Andrew Richards also contributed with a 3-for-4 effort, 3 RBI’s and a stolen base. Cubs pitcher Jordan Wickens was able to pick up his second win of the season with a complete game three hitter.

In the other game played

by Neepawa last week, the Cubs were able to defeat

the Ebb and Flow Lakers on Friday, June 24 in Dauphin.

As of Tuesday, June 28, the game stats had not be listed on the league website, so the online results have been listed as simply 1-0.

The final game of the regular season for Neepawa was in Plumas versus the Pirates on Monday, June 27.

Pitcher Garrett Rempel gave up just two runs for the Cubs over seven innings on the way to collecting a 3-0 win.

With these results, the Cubs have won seven straight games and closed out their regular season with a 7-3-0 record. Neepawa is the first team to complete its regular season schedule and will have to wait for a number of make-up games to be played around the league, before it knows their final position in the league standings.

What the hail?!

NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS JULY 1, 2022 17

Southwestern Manitoba battered by severe weather late last week

PHOTOS BY DIANE WARNER

A serious thunderstorm last week, overnight Thursday and into the early hours of Friday morning, turned into more than just rain and lightning in some areas of the province.

Robert Allen (Bob) Naegeli Peacefully on June 17, 2022 with his wife, Lynn by his side, Bob passed away in the Hamiota District Health Centre, Hamiota, MB. He was born September 3, 1931 in Midlandvale, AB (Drumheller), the sixth son of Otto and Elsie Naegeli. He was one of 10 children!

Bob leaves behind his wife, Lynn and faithful dog, Mandy.

Lynn’s brothers Art (Joyce) Morrow and Cal (Lois) Morrow; four children from a previous marriage: Johann (Michel Henri), Pierre (Debbie), Diane, and Stephanie. Two sisters, Elsie Pickering and Rita Bouvier as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and brothers Gordon, Jim, Frank, Don, Ben, Victor, and George; as well as several nieces, nephews, and in-laws.

Bob spent his early years working in the Midland Coal Mine before joining the Air Force in 1951. He spent 25 years as an automotive mechanic, retiring in 1975. That same year he married Lynn and they resided in Oakville, MB, then Arden, MB, and finally Hamiota, MB. Never one to sit around he spent time fishing, hunting, golfing, camping, curling and visiting family and friends in Drumheller. He made friends easily and would often learn a complete strangers life story over coffee.

Cremation has taken place and his ashes will be returned to his beloved Drumheller. For those so desiring, donations may be made in Bob’s memory to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, 452 Dovercourt Dr, Winnipeg, MB, R3Y 1G4 (www.kidney.ca) or to the Hamiota District Health Centre Palliative Care Program, c/o Hamiota District Health Centre, Hamiota, MB, R0M 0T0.

The food, meals, plants and flowers were greatly appreciated. The donations to the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation and the Parkinsons Society of Manitoba were a great tribute to a man who loved his community and fought this terrible disease so valiantly. To the staff at Country Meadows the words “Thank You” are not enough to express our gratitude for making Wayne feel at home the last two years of his life.

Special thanks to Terry Tkachyk for the beautiful musical arrangement at the funeral service. Thanks also to Brian James of White’s Funeral Home for helping us plan the service, Rev. Chad McCharles for all your help and guidance, and the church members for the lunch. We are so fortunate to live in this wonderful community.

Neepawa Town Council briefs

Councillor reports Jason Nadeau provided an update on the happenings of the Western Manitoba Regional Library Board, of which he is the Town’s representative. He indicated that the meeting held on June 15 will be the last one scheduled for the summer. One of the items discussed at the gathering was the Neepawa Library’s recent acquisition of a new digital projector.

Murray Parrott acknowledged the recent hard work of the Men’s Shed, a local gathering of individuals who use their woodworking expertise to support community group and services.

Parrott said the group recently completed building new planters for the Beautiful Plains Community Medical Clinic. He also thanked John and Gerry Nelson for their efforts to beatify the clinic inside and out.

Darren Pudlo discussed the oncoming Canada Day celebrations in Neepawa on July 1. This will be the first large scale festivities for the community since 2019. He requested that if anyone would like to volunteer on the day to please contact the town office.

Manager of Operations Denis Saquet informed council of numerous washouts that municipal workers have attended to recently.

There has been street dam-

Correspondences & new business Council received a letter requesting consideration on the reestablishment of a pet cemetery. There had been a location in the northwest portion of Neepawa that was used for the burial of animals before it officially became town property. The historic research found by administration indicated that when the land came over to the Town under the public reserve, there was no assumption that it would continue on as a burial site.

Council approved the purchase of six additional cemetery columbarium to be installed in 2023, from Nelson Granite Ltd., at a cost of $440,049. This expenditure will be deferred to the cemetery maintenance reserves. A columbarium is a structure for storage of funeral urns that hold the cremated remains of deceased individuals.

The schedule for Council meetings has been revised for the summer. There will be just one monthly meeting set for Tuesday, July 19 and Tuesday, Aug. 16.
