The Gladstone Agricultural Society, Gladstone Chamber of Commerce and the WestLake-Gladstone Recreation department organized this year’s Gladstone Fair, which took place on from Aug. 5 to Aug. 7. The fair featured a parade (pictured), basketball and slo-pitch tournaments, pancake breakfasts, kids’ activities and more. While the community had held COVID-safe activities for a scaled-down version of the fair during the past two years, this is the first time since before the pandemic that they have hosted a full, in-person fair.

WestLake-Gladstone provides update on cyber fraud Municipality taking legal action against credit union and insurance companies

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press The Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone has released an update in regards to the cyber security breach in which nearly $450,000 of taxpayer money was stolen between 2019 and 2020.

During this incident, multiple electronic withdrawa ls of just under $10,000 were made from the Municipalit y’s account at Stride Credit Union, over the course of late December 2019 and through the Christmas holidays. After the missing funds were discovered, an investigation began and the Municipality obtained legal counsel to try to determine where the funds went, how the suspicious activity was not f lagged sooner and why their insurance provider would not cover the lost money.

The Municipality did not make this information public until Oct. 12, 2020, as they had hoped to learn more about the fraud before sharing it with local taxpayers.

The office of the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone. In 2020, the municipality announced that they had lost over $400,000 in a cyber attack.

Litigation has commenced In the latest update from WestLake-Gladstone, the Municipality shared some information provided to them by their legal counsel, DD West LLP. “Litigation processes have been commenced ag a i nst St r ide Cred it

Union relating to its computer system and the loss of funds, and against Western Financial and Traveller’s Insurance relating to the insurance policies and denial of claims under those policies as they related to cyber insurance,” the release stated.

“These lawsuits are in

the document discovery stage and will be proceeding to examinations for discovery once all documents have been exchanged,” the statement continued.

No evidence the CAO was involved In addition, the Municipality stated that they

have found no reason to believe that the chief administrative officer (CAO) was involved in the fraud.

“We can advise the residents and ratepayers of WestLake-Gladstone that there is no evidence the chief administrative officer took or misappropriated the funds or was involved

in any manner whatsoever with respect to the taking of the funds. In addition, given the very short time over which the money was removed from the account the chief administrative officer handled the matters appropriately and followed office procedures and proper banking service reviews.

We remind all individuals to refrain from any slanderous or libel allegations and request everyone refrain from making unacceptable remarks about or towards the CAO,” they stated.

The Banner & Press asked mayor Scott Kinley whether there have been accusations against the CAO, or rumors going around the community which would prompt them to make such specific statements in their release. Kinley noted that he and the municipality cannot make any further comments than what was stated in the news release.

“Council and CAO are working with the legal team and is committed to providing updates when prov ided,” t he release stated.

Feds, province Kinsmen Kourts II hosts official ribbon cutting ceremony invest $4.2M into Neepawa wastewater upgrades

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Neepawa’s wastewater system is one of the beneficiaries of a new funding commitment from the federal and provincial governments.

On Monday, Aug. 8, Ottawa and the province released a joint announcement confirming a $34 million investment into 10 wastewater and waste management projects across Manitoba.

The largest commitment of cash is going to Dauphin, as it will receive a combined contribution of $9.1 million to help expand and upgrade the city’s lagoon system.

While not quite as large an investment, Neepawa still did alright for itself, receiving a funding boost $4.2 million ($2.283,400 federal, $1.902,643 provincial). The Town itself has been working on the upgrading and expansion to the system for several years.

Where the investment will go A large potion of this new investment will assist with the implementation of a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system. The MBBR system is a more efficient way of processing wastewater compared

to traditional wastewater treatment systems. MBBR technology takes up less space and does not require a recycling of sludge. In the most basic terms, this technology will reduce the overall footprint of the treatment facility and lower its overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and power requirements. As well as the MBBR system, the money will also help in upgrading the treatment building and add a new lab at the facility.

The Town of Neepawa has been looking into the installation of this type of treatment system for many years, having participated in a pilot project related to it back in 2016. The results from that project formed the basis of the full-scale lagoon design for Neepawa.

Its construction will represent the first installation of this kind in Manitoba and Western Canada.

Although the timing of the announcement places them late into the 2022 construction year, Town officials are still hopeful that they can still make some progress on the project this year. In the very least, they hope that the required equipment, supplies and contractor are in place to make substantial progress on the project in 2023.

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press K insmen Kour t s I I (KK2) was bustling with activity in the afternoon of Aug. 6. After a long stretch of planning and construction, the assisted living facility was christened with its official ribbon cutting that Saturday. Town officials, residents and visitors alike gathered at the location to converse, enjoy the ceremony, take tours and enjoy the food prepared by KK2’s kitchen staff.

“This has been a dream of a few years,” said Grant Lukin, Kinsmen president. “I really can’t thank everyone enough for their feedback and support.”

Kinsmen Kourts II has indeed been a long time coming. The assisted living centre got its start through a needs survey back in 2017 to evaluate how much demand there was for an additional building. Then, in June of 2020, the ground was broken and construction began, continuing into 2021. By early November, some residents were able to be welcomed into their brand new home.

Vacancies in the living complex are steadily filling, with application forms available on the Kinsmen Kourts website. Inquiries can also be made by contacting Dana Menzies at 431-351-0611 or danamenzies@neepawakinsmenkourts.com.

Learn about local literary history at the Margaret Laurence Home

AUGUST 12, 2022

NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS 3

By Chelsea Power Margaret Laurence Home

The summer weather has been scorching, so why not come into the Margaret Laurence House to cool off and check out some local history? The Margaret Laurence Home was the childhood home of none other than Margaret Laurence, an author many have read either in school or later in life. Her novels tell the stories of stubborn women, women who just want some excitement in their lives and women who are determined to be on their own. Both her Manawaka series and her African series take inspiration from her own life, from her growing up in a small town, as well as moving to Africa with her then-husband. You will be able to see the sprinkles of real life that Laurence draws from her writing.

Why not check out the house where she grew up; the house that started it all, lovingly refurbished by a committee dedicated to keeping the true heart of the home intact?

Come and learn about her grandfather, John Simpson, who was the inspiration for Laurence for both Hagar in The Stone Angel and Morag in The Diviners. Check out The Margaret Room, generously donated by her children, Jocelyn and David, which includes Laurence’s typewriter, as well as her writing desk. Dive into the history and accomplishments of Margaret Laurence in the Research/ Board Room and admire the exquisite painting of Helen McLean’s portrait of Margaret Laurence.

If you’re interested, you can call 204-476-3612 or email at mlaurencehome@gmail.com. Or you can stop in to check out the gift shop– stocked with both locally written books and Margaret Laurence’s novels, including her

children’s book, Six Darn Cows– or go for a self guided or an audio guided tour, available on the website, www. margaretlaurencehome.com. The House is open until Labour Day, everyday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Special guests visit the Banner & Press

The Margaret Laurence Home is a great place to learn more about local history, Canadian literature, as well as just checking out a gorgeous old house. Hope to see everyone soon!

Thoughts from a long, long road

T

his is my first column since our extended road trip to the United States last month. It was supposed to be a two week trip, but it got extended by a five day side-visit by me to North Kansas City Hospital. The trip was pretty good overall and even the hospital stay was good in many ways. Not sure yet what all went wrong with me, doctors are still checking, but we learned lots. I think I will fully recover, but armed with 30 pages of reports sent with us from Kansas City North Hospital, our local medical team, I am confident, will figure out the best action.

The care was very swift and very good. Three hospitals in total actually, one in Kentucky and two in Missouri.

One thing they did at Kansas City was that patients were not brought a standard food tray, the patients ordered off the menu. Good food and small portions too.The big advantage would appear to be less waste. In Manitoba, everybody gets a tray of food whether they want to eat, or can eat it, or not. The Kansas City system seems to make a lot more sense.

Here are some sayings I have picked up along the road of life and have come to my mind recently, lots of time to think in a hospital bed and as a three day passenger from Kansas City to Neepawa: •“When all is said and done, there is usually a lot more said than done.”

Ken Waddell, Neepawa.

•“Feelings are a good barometer but a very poor compass.” Mike Waddell, Brandon.

•“We need a lot more rockin’ and a lot less talkin’.” Former Westman area contractor.

•“Never tell a lie– except for practise,” Mark Twain, Archibald Henderson (1912). We spent a few hours in Mark Twain’s home town of Hannibal, Missouri and it was an absolute delight.

•“No matter what happens, look after your faith, family, friends and finances, and in that order.” Ken Waddell, May 2003 addressing a meeting of very distressed cattle producers at Eddystone Hall, Eddystone, Manitoba. neepawa

Right in the Centre Ken Waddell I invite readers to examine this Manitoba government press release on the monkeypox virus and then draw their own conclusions.

“After working with the federal government to secure additional doses, Manitoba Health is expanding eligibility for the monkeypox vaccine so people who may be at higher risk of being exposed can be immunized as a preventative measure.

The vaccine has been available in Manitoba since June for people who may have been exposed to monkeypox. To date, no confirmed cases of monkeypox have been detected in Manitoba.

Anyone can become infected with monkeypox. However, in Canada and around the world, at this time infections have been primarily reported among people who selfidentify as belonging to the gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) community. These individuals are now eligible for a preventative vaccination if they also meet at least one of these criteria: •Have received a diagnosis of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and or syphilis in the past two months; •Have had two or more sexual partners in the last 21 days; •Have attended locations for sexual contact (e.g. bath houses or sex clubs) or are planning to; •Have had anonymous sex in the past 21 days or are planning to; or •Engage in sex work or plan to, either as a worker or a client.

Preventive immunization for eligible people can be booked at three locations in Winnipeg using the online booking tool at https://patient.petal-health.com/ login?groupId=6032 beginning Monday, Aug. 8.”

Apparently, all 200 available doses

were booked very quickly after the announcement. There have been about 975 cases of Monkey Pox in Canada but I was not able to find a death toll.

While I have been on the road, in hospital and still recovering, I have tried to stay in touch with the community, family and staff. I want to extend a huge thank you to all who have carried on so very well in my absence. Our staff are amazing and I think do a wonderful job.

I visited with dozens of newspaper editors at our conference in Lexington, Kentucky. Some papers are doing quite well, some are really struggling, but the key is that a community or a region absolutely needs a local newspaper. I could talk for hours, and did at the conference, on the topic of local newspaper viability. If you don’t get the local news and truth from your local paper, then corporations and governments are more than willing to fill your heads with their version of news and truth.

Most of all, when I took sick, and nobody should be surprised, my wonderful wife of almost 53 years took full control, helped nurse me through.

When I was well enough to travel, she took the wheel and drove three days to get us safely home. I am very emotional as I write this, eyes filled with tears, when I think how much, in spite of all my faults, Christine loves me, our sons, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thank you Christine and may God bless us, everyone.

Berry patch thoughts

T

his has been a summer of small fruits. Thankfully.

The freezer has been echo empty for some time.

The last of the saskatoons and apples were consumed in home made pies. The strawberries disappeared by early spring, and there has not been a raspberry for quite some time. This summer has seen an improvement in that department.

Last year, I planted a dozen strawberry plants. I carefully covered them for winter, waiting for truly spring weather before exposing them. They bloomed beautifully, and as the red berries made their appearance, so did the birds.

Fortunately, I had planned ahead. The patch is right next to a low fence and I had salvaged netting with which to cover them. From this little spot we have been able to eat our fill, freeze a surprising amount, and share with grands and great grands. Above my expectations.

We had the opportunity to pick saskatoons at a berry farm. They were the Thiessen variety, the tree limbs tall and slender, bending under the weight of perfectly ripened fruit. There were four of us picking and in just over an hour, we had six ice cream pails filled. With very little effort, they were cleaned and stored away for the months to come. Ok, some turned into pies immediately, but I preserved eight pints and froze the rest.

As I was picking, I reflected on the summer of 1977. I was, as it was said at that time, heavy with child and Ed did not want me heading to the Pembina Hills unaccompanied.

He scouted the area, headed up to Northern Manitoba for his obligations, and a neighbour couple came berry picking with me. We each had one student who was exempt from school, so there were five of us on this adventure. Once we located the predetermined patch, we began picking.

The youth carried the pails to the car as we stripped the bushes. At day’s end, I had 75 pounds of beautiful berries.

An unforgettable experience.

There is a small patch of raspberries in our back yard.

They are volunteer plants that came from under the fence.

These, too, are netted and protected. And here, too, we have enjoyed many a handful, shared with the grands and great grands, and put some in the freezer. We have also received two pails from family in return for helping them pick.

Here, memories of the year I was 16 surfaced. My grandmother was taking the train to Abbotsford, and I was selected to accompany her. We spent several weeks at my aunt and uncle’s place, a berry farm. As family, we did the clean up picking, the rows that Uncle Frank didn’t want to have hired help spend time on. Early morning picking and we were soaked from the dew, later in the day it was plenty warm. The grand total for my contribution was just under $13. I felt short changed.

There is something deeply satisfying for me to place produce in storage for winter enjoyment. I appreciate the work it takes to garden and garner. Makes the treat all the more rewarding.

A trio of errors– part 2 Letters

I

n last week’s column, I offered suggestions to show how our society has humanized God. In that column, I argued that we have chosen to focus on the attributes of God that we find appealing– his love, kindness, faithfulness, generosity and patience.

I also argued that we have chosen (whether accidentally or deliberately) to avoid talking about the attributes we f ind distasteful– namely God’s infallibility, his righteousness, justice and hatred of sin. Nor do we speak of the judgment and eternal punishment he has decreed for all who sin against him, and who refuse to repent and seek the forgiveness he offers through Jesus Christ.

But some will argue that our society has not outrightly abandoned or rejected God. After all, in the Pledge of Allegiance to its f lag, for example, the United States still identifies itself as “one nation under God.” In Canada, our

Faithfully Yours

Neil Strohschein Charter of Rights states that “Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law.”

As a society, we say we believe in God. But the God we believe in is a god on whom we have placed so many limits that he no longer has the authority to demand our worship, expect us to obey his commands or enforce his decrees. So we can worship him if we wish to. We can also worship a different god or worship no god at all.

But we have not stopped there. We have exalted ourselves (humans) to be equal with God. We tell people that they do not need to go to other countries or read other holy books to find a new god to worship. We

say that we are fully qualified to decide what is right and wrong for ourselves and live by the standards we set. And as long as our actions don’t hurt anyone else, we are free to do as we please and no one, not even Almighty God himself, can tell us we are doing wrong.

The ideas behind these actions are as old as time itself. They go right back to the lie that the snake told Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden– “If you eat from the fruit of this tree, you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

But the standards of good and evil by which we live will be standards that we have made up and that we expect others to respect, whether or not they agree with them (and most of the

Guess what? Change of plans. My dear daughter, who is my driver to the big city, got sick with a horrible cold. Disappointed? Oh, yes. She is a very busy lady and was even willing to have someone else drive me

time, they won’t).

By bringing God down to our level and making gods of ourselves, we have created a world filled with little deities who assert their authority wherever they can and pick fights with anyone who dares to oppose them. So we should not be surprised at the increased chaos, lawlessness, violence, crime and war we are seeing in our world.

The blame for these conditions lies with us. We have brought them on ourselves.

But even though we have pushed God into the background, God has not given up on us. He will allow us to go our own way and do our own thing, knowing that one day, we will become thoroughly disgusted with what we have created, long for change and seek his help and healing for our land.

He will gladly give us the help we need. But first, he will ask us to address our society’s third critical error. We will examine it next week.

My plans changed, but the Lord had something better in mind for me today and I accomplished two commitments that were important. Thank you Lord.

Night Lighting often violates safety regulations

I offer my appreciation to Robert Sopuck for his excellent letter, “Night hunting a dangerous practice”.

In 2015, while serving as a director of the Manitoba Wildlife Federation, I developed the following question regarding Night Lighting “where safe to do so”.

I presented this question in the form of a resolution to the 2015 Manitoba Beef Producers Convention. The resolution received unanimous support. I arranged to have the same question presented to four Rural Municipalities. Where in your Municipality is it safe to do so? The Association of Manitoba Municipalities adopted the same position at their annual convention.

As a direct result of this effort, the Pallister government implemented legislation banning Night Lighting in the occupied areas of rural Manitoba.

The issue was never about Treaty hunting rights, it was about public safety and the safe use of firearms. A principal rule of firearm safety education is “be sure of your target and be sure of your back stop”. Neither of these requirements can be met while Night Lighting.

In my own community, four head of cattle and one horse have fallen victim to Night Lighting.

Laws regarding firearm safety prohibit the following practices: The carrying of a loaded firearm in or discharging a firearm from a vehicle; the discharge of a firearm from or across a developed road; discharging a firearm while hunting at night and hunting on private property (day or night) without the consent of the land owner. The practice of Night Lighting is often conducted in violation of all of the above firearm safety and property protection regulations. The Manitoba Hunting Education Program does not offer any exemptions from the above firearm safety or property access regulations.

Unfortunately, the MWF has adopted a position of supporting a province-wide ban on Night Lighting.

This position is not entirely focused on risk assessment, public safety. I view this position as indefensible when applied to remote locations, offering an appearance of a much wider agenda.

Aboriginal-Metis hunting rights in their present form are the product of previous court interpretations on the promises made by the representatives of the government of Canada during treaty negotiations. The outcome of Peguis First Nation’s court challenge of the province’s ability to prohibit Night Lighting is difficult to predict.

Dependent on how the court views the ban, as a public safety regulation or as a regulation that infringes upon the right to employ a particular method of hunting.

Not being awakened by gun fire at 3:00 am and going out the following morning to check if all the cattle survived the night has been a much appreciated benefit provided by the ban on Night Lighting. I now await the court’s decision with both hope and anxiety.

Rolling Barrage coming back to Neepawa

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press

A national group raising funds and awareness for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is on the road again and will be coming through Neepawa this week. The Rolling Barrage (TRB) is a motorcycle group riding from coast to coast across Canada to support military and first responders living with PTSD. The group will be arriving in Neepawa on Thursday, Aug. 11 at about 6:00 pm and will be stopping at the Legion for dinner and staying the night in town. Mark Goldade,

one of the organizers of TRB, said to expect about 200 riders to be coming through.

The Rolling Barrage went through Neepawa around this time last year and was met with hundreds of local supporters. Goldade noted that the community response they had last year was one of the reasons they wanted to make Neepawa one of their stops again this year. TRB’s 2021 tour raised about $65,000, all of which goes to support active and retired armed forces, RCMP, emergency responders, health care workers and more who are living with PTSD.

Pop-up Passport Clinic arrives in Neepawa Passport sign-up event and barbecue staged by M.P. Dan Mazier

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press Neepawa resident s hoping to once again start travelling internationally recently received a little bit of help in that dream.

The office of Dan Mazier, Member of Parliament (MP) for Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa, hosted a pop-up passport service at the Neepawa Legion on Tuesday, Aug. 2.

I n tot a l, about 130 people took advantage of the opportunity, getting t hei r pa sspor t photos taken and their applications accepted for review.

Under normal circumstances, a person hoping to renew their passport information would need to travel to or mail their information to a Service Canada Centre, usually in Winnipeg, or perhaps Dauphin. Mazier said being able to bring this service closer to home, to those who needed it was

gratifying. “[ Tuesd ay, Aug. 2 ] was a very good day. It was a chance to talk with people, face to face and to assist them with some impor t a nt paper work.

This passport clinic, I’ve always wanted to do it.

When you look at a riding like this, there is a need for it. There’s only one Services Canada outlet

in our whole entire riding, and it’s in Dauphin.

And that is a problem for a riding this size, so if we can offer more of those services, we’re glad to do it,” stated Mazier.

The day’s activities in Neepawa a lso include a barbecue at Mazier’s regional office. There, he had the chance to speak with constituents and hear

their thoughts or concerns on many topics. The one item ever yone seemed to want to discuss, according to Mazier, was uncertainty over the affordability of goods and

services, due to inf lation.

He said people are rattled by it and there needs to be more done to reel in the issue.

Multi-vehicle accident near Minnedosa includes RCMP officer

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

An RCMP officer and a civilian motorist each sustained minor, but non-life threatening injuries from a weekend auto accident near Minnedosa.

On Saturday, Aug. 6, at around 9:15 a.m., a member of the RCMP from the Neepawa detachment was on patrol in a marked vehicle. The officer was at the intersection of Highway 16 and

Highway 10, in the R.M. of Minto-Odanah, Manitoba. The police vehicle was travelling west on 16 and was slowing down at a stop sign when it was struck by a SUV. The initial investigation indicates that the SUV, which was northbound on Highway 10, was taking the yield east onto 16 and took the turn a little too fast. The SUV ended up crossing the dividing line and striking

the police vehicle.

A 16-year-old female driver from Brandon and the RCMP officer were both were transported to hospital, after receiving non-life threatening injuries on the scene. Both have since been released.

Members of the RCMP are assisting with the ongoing investigation. As of Monday, Aug. 8, no charges related to the accident had been announced.

New book examines Neepawa Natives’ hockey history

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Over three decades of junior “A” hockey in Neepawa is getting a well deserved and in-depth analysis in a brand new book. Rick Sparling, who previously authored several works chronicling the town’s local minor hockey and business histories, has now turned his attention to the Neepawa Natives.

‘The 30 year history of the Neepawa Natives: 1989-90 to 2019-20’ is a 148 page book, filled with stories and pictures about the local hockey club. Heavy emphasis of the text is from former players sharing stories of their time in Neepawa and the experience of playing junior “A” hockey in a small town setting.

Enlightening conversations with former players Sparling said this focus on personal memories from those involved made the experience of putting this book different from his previous works, and in a way, a much more fun experience.

“It was k inda neat, because [working on the book] was a bit different from the other ones. The other books were more research in libraries and archives, while this was talking with people. Conversations with those different players and coaches who were there and were a part of it. It’s a lot more personal than the other

Author Rick Sparling’s new book ‘The 30 year history of the Neepawa Natives: 1989-90 to 2019-20’ is an indepth look at the Junior “A” Hockey Club and the players, coaches and supporters of the team

books,” stated Sparling.

“It could be frustrating at times, tracking down as many of the former players as I did. But, overall, I had a lot of fun with it. The majority of the guys I spoke with are really solid guys, good citizens and had great stories to share. I just found the experience [of writing] to be a lot more personal than my other books.”

Sparling said the most difficult part was tracking down up-to-date contact information for the players from all those years. He noted that was quite time consuming, but once he was able to locate them, the vast majority of the 600 former

players were willing to talk with him about the club.

As complete a look-back as possible Sparling estimates that he may have put in around 650 hours of time for research, interviews and writing. He

noted something like this is time consuming, but worth it, once he saw the finished product.

While the book does focus upon the positives of the club in Neepawa, it does not shy away from the difficult topics within the team’s history. Sparling

said for it to be a true view of the history of the club, the book had to explore all the aspects of the past 30 years, both good and bad.

they played in.

“The excitement was similar. Playing at this level, with many of them being local to the region over the years, it meant something to them. For others, it was their first time away from home, but the community made them feel welcome,” Sparling said. “Hearing all their stories, whether it was the crazy road stories, what happened on the ice or away from it. The camaraderie you made with your teammates and the connections established with billet families. It’s all there and I’m glad I was able to do something like this and share it with those who have a fondness for the team.”

With about 15 veteran players expected to return to Neepawa for the 20222023 MJHL season, the Titans had quite a few options when it came to their captain and assistant captains. In the end, however, head coach and general manager Ken Pearson believed that the choices of who should don the ‘C’ and ‘A’ upon their sweaters were actually quite obvious.

On Fr iday, Aug. 5, the Junior “A” Hockey Club announced their leadership group for the upcoming season, during its annual golf tournament.

The captain for this year will be Cody Gudnason.

The 19-year-old is from Killarney and has played 61 games for Neepawa since 2020, including 53 last year. Pearson said that Cody has all the attributed needed to be a team leader.

“A player can grow and develop over the course of a junior hockey season to

the point that the player is almost unrecognizable at the end of the year. This is what happened with Cody over the last season,” said Pearson. “Off the ice, Cody is a high character, high integrity person, who is mature beyond his years.

He is very approachable, incredibly well respected by the players, has a great feel for the dressing room and is the first guy to pick a guy up if he falls. Everything that Cody does off the

ice, he backs up on the ice.

Not only is Cody a player I can rely on in every situation, and at any point in the game, but he is a great example of the total package of what it means to be a Neepawa Titan.”

Gudnason, meanwhile, stated that he was very much look ing for ward to fulfilling this new role as part of the leadership group in his third season with the team.

A s for who w i l l be

stepping as the assistant captains, it will include Brayden Michalchuk, Will Highet, Cameron Trimble and Josh Romanyk in those key roles. With this core of leadership ready to go, Pearson was optimistic about the year ahead.

“We have a great group of returning players, along with some newly signed prospects. I think we are going to be an exciting team to watch this year”.

The most recent event at the Gladstone Golf & Country Club (GGCC) had some special meaning to the community. A pair of events, held on Aug. 6 and 7, were organized to help celebrate the club’s 65th year in operation.

The results of the tournament on Saturday, Aug. 6 saw Spike Foster win the Men’s under 50 category.

Dennis Foster, meanwhile, took home top prize in the Men’s 50 plus, while Delayne Evenson finished in first place for the Women’s division.

An alternate best-ball event was then held on Sunday, Aug. 7 and won

by Dennis and Glen Foster.

While the final results from each category are significant, the most important part of the weekend revolved around GGCC highlighting 65 years of business.

Spike Foster, who also serves as the clubhouse steward, recently told the Banner & Press that the weekend was special for everyone involved.

“It was great. We’ve been through so many trials and tribulations over the last few years with the combination of COVID-19 regulations, the f loods, and all that. So to be able to hold an event like this, it had some real meaning for a lot of people,” said Foster. “The course has been in tremendous shape compared to what it used to be. Everyone is very happy with it this year and we had a lot of visitors come in and remark how great it’s been here. I think this course is a real hidden gem.”

The Gladstone Golf & Country Club first opened back in 1957. The 9-hole, par 36 course is located four kilometres south of Gladstone.

Obituary Patricia Elaine Murray

On August 2, 2022, Heaven received a very special angel in the shape of our beautiful Mom, Grandma and Wife.

Patricia Elaine Murray passed away at the age of 65 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Pat was born on June 8, 1957, in Neepawa, Manitoba to Harold and Eileen Ernest.

After completing high school, Pat moved with her sister Valerie to Winnipeg, where she worked in a nursing home. She then moved back to Neepawa and married her high school sweetheart, Richard Murray, on March 18, 1978. Together, they raised their 3 wonderful daughters, Courtney, Jenna and Kristina, who were the most important part of her life.

Mom is predeceased by her parents Harold and Eileen, brother Les and sister Shirley. Mom is survived by her loving husband Richard, daughters Courtney, Kristina Murray, Jenna (Dylan) Kugler and her new little granddaughter Grace Marie, whom she absolutely adored.

Rick and Pat moved to Winnipeg in 2009, where she spent her time working at Charm Diamond Center. She thrived in that environment, and she radiated kindness and people were drawn to her sincere and welcoming personality.

Mom loved spending time with her family and loved getting together for Sunday family suppers. She was particularly fond of all holidays, as this gave opportunity for her to gather with her brother Wayne (Pat) Ernest, sister Valerie (Lorne) Crammond, sister-in-law Bev (Richard) Murray and their respective families.

Mom touched so many people’s lives without even knowing it. Her home was always a safe and welcoming place for friends and family to sit around the table and tell stories and she always looked for ways to make our lives better and lighten our load. She loved without judgment and was there to lend a helping hand. She was so proud of us all.

Our family was blessed to have this amazing woman as its matriarch and role model… She meant the world to us.

She will be missed beyond measure by all her family and friends and really anyone who knew her but will remain in the hearts of those who were blessed with the precious gift of her love.

Love you forever, love you for always Mom. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations may be sent directly to Cancer Care Manitoba.

Relic mystery solved swiftly

PHOTOS SUBMITTED AND COURTESY OF THE MET MUSEUM

Last week, the Banner & Press featured the above mystery item, submitted by June Siemas.

Found at a friend’s house, neither herself nor her friend knew what it was and the public was asked to help provide them, and the Banner staff, with an answer. That answer was swiftly provided by John Lackey, who said that it is a spiritual item known as a dorje.

Upon further research, this does appear to likely be the case. The photo on the right, courtesy of the Met Museum, shows a similar sceptre dated to the 19th century. The sceptres are meant to be paired with a dril-bu (bell) and are typically regarded as one object. Specifically, they appear to be or have been used in Tibetan Buddhism for ritual recitation. The bell and the sceptre together reflect two aspects of Buddhist practices– method and wisdom and intuition and compassion.

According to the Met Museum, the face on the bell is associated with Transcendent Insight.

Prongs emerging from both the bell and sceptre represent the thunderbolt sceptre of Indra, a Hindu god who governs rain, clouds and lightning. The sceptre also is meant to refer to the immovable and steadfast consciousness of Buddha.

RIGHT HERE. High-moisture crops are taking the hay and forage industry by storm and they are here to stay. Of course, it takes a tough baler to handle the added tonnage of high-moisture hay. The Vermeer 604 Pro Generation 3 baler is built from the ground up in Pella, Iowa, to bale wet, heavy crops but with the versatility to also bale your dry hay. The strength comes from a heavy frame, large bearings, heavy-duty chains and poly pickup bands. The swift cutting action from the 17-knife chopper system. Smart features to be able to read real-time field stats through the in-cab color, touch-screen control system. And the simplicity of the new netwrap system located on the rear of the machine. It’s how you win the day when wanting to make high-quality hay.

Vermeer Corporation reserves the right to make changes in engineering, design and specifications; add improvements; or discontinue manufacturing or distribution at any time without notice or obligation.
