Brandon’s road rebuild puts Neepawa plans in peril Banner Staff

Neepawa Banner & Press

The massive resurfacing project recently announced for Brandon is going to negatively impact some of Neepawa’s planned road repairs.

In a Sept. 3 media release, the Province of Manitoba announced it was investing $9.7 million to resurface 18th Street in Brandon. Premier Wab Kinew said, “The project will reconstruct 18th Street (Provincial Trunk Highway 10) from Aberdeen Avenue to Rosser Avenue, and includes milling the existing pavement surface to mitigate deep potholes and replacing it with two layers of new bituminous pavement.

What the announcement didn’t say is that that one massive project would shove other projects, such as rebuilding two blocks of streets in Neepawa, off the calendar for this year.

Back in May, Neepawa had announced a reallocation of funding from its 2024 budget that would go directly towards a planned rebuild on a block of Hamilton Street, between Brown

The Town of Neepawa has moved ahead recently on some temporary repairs to a portion of Hamilton Street. That block, along with a section of Mill Street, had been planned for a full restoration this fall. A recent announcement by the Province, however, related to fixing 18th street in Brandon, could have an impact on Neepawa’s road repair schedule

and First, as well as Mill Street between Mountain and First.

The hope was that the Town would be able to secure the services of a company to do this work before the winter. With the announcement of this much

larger project in Brandon, however, Neepawa CAO Colleen Synchyshyn said the commitment to our road improvements cannot be assured.

“When we heard about the Brandon 18th Street project, we contacted the

paving company and there was no way they could guarantee they could come and do our projects,” stated Synchshyn. “It was discussed that Neepawa [could] rip up those streets so they could be re-done, but if they didn’t come this fall,

those streets would be open to rain, snow and erosion until next year.”

In the past, paving companies have tended to add on smaller community projects at the tail end of the season and often get caught trying to lay pavement when

it is too cold to do so. The last major downtown project was Davidson Street in front of the Kinsmen Kourts II assisted living centre and it was over a year before that block got paved.

Fifth annual Walk With Us Campaign this Sunday Funds raised set to benefit the Touchwood Park Association

By Casper Wehrhahn

Neepawa Banner & Press

A local initiative is returning for its fifth year this weekend. On Sept. 15, at 3:00 p.m., the Walk With Us Campaign is welcoming all interested to join them at the Langford Walking Trails for a walk and barbecue. This event has been organized each year by the Cox Family, after Will and Brandi’s son, Logan, was born and diagnosed with Down Syndrome– a developmental disability caused by an extra chromosome– five years ago.

Traditionally, the walk had been held to raise funds for the Manitoba Down Syndrome Society (MDSS).

This year, however, the funds will directly support the community via donations to Neepawa’s Touchwood Park Association.

Touchwood Park provides a variety of services for individuals with developmental disabilities.

“My husband and I talked

and we thought that this year we would do something different and that we would keep it local,” said Brandi. “Seeing that some day our son Logan would probably be a resident of Touchwood, that’s why we took that route. And we feel

it’s a good way to give back to the community.”

Brandi noted that funds collected will benefit the new accessible playground, located at 445 Commerce and spearheaded by Touchwood Park.

The Walk With Us Cam-

paign has been well attended and supported over the years. Despite a rainy forecast last year, the 2023 edition was no exception. A total of over 50 participants donned their walking shoes and raincoats, helping to raise $2,775 for the MDSS.

“It was a good turn out and we were happy with the funds raised. I feel, too, with the recreation committee doing the barbecue, that that’s a nice touch to it,” said Brandi. “We’re hoping, as in previous years– that it’s a good turnout and good

weather [for the event this weekend].”

Donations for this year’s event can be given directly to Touchwood Park via etransfer to payables@touchwoodpark.ca using the password Logan. Donors using this method are asked to include their mailing address and to note the designation of the playground in the comment section in order for a charitable donation receipt to be mailed. Charitable donation receipts can be sent by Touchwood for donations of $10 or more. A donation jar will also be at the walk itself on Sept. 15.

All interested in attending to participate may find the Langford Walking Trails six miles east of Neepawa on Highway #16 and three miles south on Road #81 at the Whitemud Watershed Wildlife Management Area.

“It’s a good cause,” said Brandi. “The forecast looks like a beautiful day for a walk and barbecue after, too– you can’t beat that!”

Neepawa’s brand new LED street lights are quite a sight to behold…during the daytime. At night, however, they are not quite what they need to be, in that they need to be street lights that actually light the street.

A recent edition of the Banner & Press reported on the arrival of a dozen brand new light-emitting diode (LED) street posts which have been installed

by Manitoba Hydro (Aug. 30: New LED street lights installed in Neepawa).

These new light standards were replacing posts and underground cables in the area that actually date back to 1985 and are located along the 200 block of Hamilton Street and a small portion of 400 block of Mountain Avenue.

But while all the physical portions of these upgrades are currently in place, all the connections

1974: Historic Npa. building houses multiple businesses

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

125 years ago, Saturday, September 9, 1899 Selden: T he cor ner stone of the Glenburnie Methodist Church was firmly laid on the evening of Sept. 4 by the Rev. H. H. Gilbart, pastor, assisted

by Rev. J. H. Harrison, of Glendale. A large number of people witnessed the ceremony. Two impressive addresses were delivered by the two above named gentlemen.

No damage from frost yet!

A fa r mer yesterday requested the Press to remind sportsmen going out from town to be good enough to put up fences which they take down in their pursuit of game.

There are few farmers who object to sports entering their premises, but anyone wou ld protest aga inst fences being left down and cattle being permitted to get into their grain fields.

100 years ago, Tuesday, September 9, 1924 D ou g l a s Fa i r b a n k s in “The Three Musk[e] teers” Friday and Saturday next. Prices, adults 50¢, children 25¢. One show only commencing at 8 o’clock.

R. G. Dunsmore, of Wainwright, has sent the Press a sample of the crude oil being pumped out of the earth at that place. The editor is not an expert on this line of production. All we can say is that it looks as good as what we purchase at retail stores and use on machinery.

D. A. Otto, who arrived here last week from Ayr, Ont., expresses entire satisfaction with his new location. He has converted a piece of cut-over timber land into a tourist camping ground and pleasure resort and is being generously patronized. A 30 -acre sheet of water a dozen small boats and as many cottages for rental, with a fo o d s uppl y de p ot and refreshment booth const it ute a h igh ly appreciated stopping place on the main road from Brantford to Galt.

Don’t loaf on the streets and tell strangers that the

town is dead. It is not.

The trouble is not that of a dead town, but that of dead energies of too many of its people. Show that you are alive by moving lively, w ide awake by jumping into it, on the alert by improving your opportunities and getting there because you are in the lead of the procession.

Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hayes and four children, from Wexford count y, Ireland, arr ived in N e e p a w a y e s t e r d a y, seeking a new home in this district. They were met at the C.N.R. station

by Jesse Curtis, whose duty it is to see that they are well placed and get a fair chance to make an honest living. Mr. Curtis, it may be explained, represents the Canadian government immigration department.

75 years ago, Thursday, September 15, 1949 A new 34 bed district hospital for Neepawa and a six bed medical nursing unit for Glenella will likely be voted upon when the money bylaw comes before the people at the October municipal elections. Total costs will be $200,000 towards which DominionProvincial grants totalling $90,000 have been agreed.

Provincial Minister of Health and Public Welfare Ican Schultz announced t his week t hat t his scheme for establishing new hospital facilit ies in Neepawa district had been accepted by t he Dominion and Provincial government.

Within the next few weeks, Company Sergeant Major Preston Cheetham, of Neepawa, Man., will become one of the most decorated Ca nad ia n veterans of the Second World War. He is due to receive from Army headquarters in Ottawa in the C.V.S.M. and clasp the Africa Star, the France and Germany St a r, t he It a l y St a r, Defence Medal and the War Medal.

Preston Cheet ha m compiled a lengthy war record. He enlisted with the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders on Sept. 6, 1939 at the age of 26.

After training at Shilo and Quebec city, he went

overseas in Dec. 1940.

50 years ago, Thursday, September 12, 1974 There is a stately old building which stands on the northeast corner of Hamilton Street and Mou nt a i n Avenue i n Neepawa. It was built as a hardware store and served that purpose since it opened until it was taken over recently by a men’s wear store, a ladies clothing store and a shoe store.

It is difficult to write a story of a building that was erected in the early days, when the town was young, because there are few available records and it is impossible to f ind residents who can recall with precision the events before the turn of the century.

According to records in the land titles office, the property was owned

by John Davidson and John Hamilton, who were real estate agents, in 1884 and sold to Walter Baker that year. Walter Baker sold it to Arthur Eden in 1886 and B. R. Hamilton mortgaged it from Eden in 1891…

After over 80 years, the hardware store has been replaced by a dry goods store.

T he for mer St r o c k Hardware store at the nor t heast cor ner of Mountain Avenue and Hamilton Street has been completely renov ated to a c c omo d at e t h r ee businesses.

Flights of fancy…

Canada Post is in trouble I T Right in the he government of Canada has a number of financial disasters on its hands. Some are ongoing like the CBC that sucks up $1.3 billion a year in taxpayers money. Another is Canada Post as between 2018 and 2023 it has lost $3 billion. In the first six months of 2024 CP has reportedly lost $464 million. The Corporation has current loans and borrowings of $1 billion, of which $500 million is due for repayment in July 2025. At least $1 billion in new borrowings or other liquidity measures are required for 2025, including refinancing $500 million in existing debt.

A quick review of those figures don’t add up as $3.464 billion can’t be covered by only a billion in debt so I can only assume that Canada Post is in deep trouble but they aren’t sure how deep. I also assume that Canadian taxpayers are going to have to pony up the money to keep the post office afloat.

I have been going for the mail for nearly 60 years and Canada Post, as a corporation, hasn’t kept up. The local post office staff have, for the most part, done an excellent job of serving their customers. As you go up the ladder, the service falls off pretty fast.

Two or three years ago, I needed to talk to someone and I had a list of three people who I occasionally phoned. I phoned them all twice and never got a reply. That was a bit annoying.

Then we started checking on newspaper deliveries and found that often papers that were taken to a post office on our regular Thursday schedule were taking as long as a week to get to nearby towns. We are a weekly paper and a 5-7 day delivery just isn’t satisfactory. I think what was happening is that our paper bundles were going from one of the two post offices we used and getting hung up in a regional warehouse in behind the neepawa

There’s only so many trucks and I guess the papers weren’t a priority.

Postal staff will tell you that First Class Mail (letters) are no longer a priority, parcels are. That obviously means that Third Class Mail (newspapers) slip even further down the ladder.

Addressed subscription papers can get to their destination in a week (we have tracked it as being that quick sometimes) but it’s not unusual for two or even three newspapers to arrive on the same day so obviously CP staff somewhere are setting newspapers aside for a later date.

Canada Post is somewhat strangled by government regulations. They are mandated to deliver mail to every address in Canada. That is just not possible at current prices.

There has to be some changes. That said, in the 21st century, why do we still have rural routes. I know of one that is within six miles of a major town.

Really? People would have to wait until they get home, after being at the coffee shop, to get their mail in their end-of-lane mailbox. There are a lot of rural routes that don’t make sense.

In urban areas, maybe door-to-door delivery could be three days a week instead of five or six.

I know I sound like an old guy but, we used to get our mail once a week and we had to drive to town to get it. If Canada Post wants to cut some costs, door to door might have to go.

There’s another part of Canada Post that needs examination. CP has 23 people at the vice-president or higher level. Add to that they have many marketing people. Maybe if the people who are supposed to look after customers at the regional level would learn to answer the phone, things might go better.

All I know is that we only use Canada Post on a very limited basis and I also know that money we used to spend on Canada Post now goes into our employees and the cost of having three vehicles on the road.

Canada Post hasn’t kept up with the times at all. Thirty years ago, Canada Post wouldn’t let local offices have a fax machine. Ironically, they came and paid to use our fax machine.

Why aren’t Canada Post offices used

by Services Canada staff to meet with clients? Why don’t they offer banking services, especially in towns that don’t have a bank? Why are Canada Post employees allowed to go on strike?

After we had struggled through three or four postal strikes, we got smart and started to find better ways to get our papers out to readers. The president of Canada Post has told the government they can’t keep going. He’s right and CP needs an overhaul or it just won’t be there in a few years.

f I could be a tree, I would be an oak. The Burr Oak is fairly common to Manitoba, and they played a part in my early years. Thin and straight, they made wonderful fence posts, not needing to be pre treated to last a long time. Farm folks will know what I mean when I say that an oak post promoted expletives on a grand scale. More than once a carefully positioned staple would SPROOONG away when hit by the hammer. An oak log on the fire last thing at night guaranteed glowing coals in the morning, an easy start to the morning’s warmth.

I wondered a bit about my affinity with the oak so did a bit of research, there had to be more than fence posts, wonderful heating fuel and the perfect tree for a swing. ( I had already assessed the similarity in our shared ability to produce nuts!)

The oak tree is a symbol of strength. It is slow growing but grows to be a large tree, providing plenty of shade and a safe place for birds to nest. Converted to timber it is strong, hard and durable. Used to make wine barrels the oak adds distinctive flavour and scent. So, strong, slow growing, productive and nurturing- I’m still on board if we include mental and spiritual growth rather than physical!

Interesting fact: about a third of the species is threatened with extinction due to climate change, pests and habitat loss. Translate that as my peers and I being threatened with aging and we have another match. Oak trees survive transplanting, grow well in cities for they can tolerate air pollution and thrive in various growing conditions. Yep, I’ve been moved more than once and have been planted in a variety of growing conditions and I’m still going strong.

Our deep roots tolerate drought, and I’ve gone through a few of those; our thick bark allows us to survive forest fires. I am deep rooted and thick skinned! When I look at the facts I can see why the oak tree, even the common Burr Oak is the tree I’d want to be!

So which trees were culled? Did I look at my options?

Well, I’ve grown up with the Manitoba Maple and it is fast growing, but a tad to careless for my liking. A tad too careless in that the branches/limbs stretch way beyond their means, bending low too the earth only to turn and once again reach for the sky. They are also very prolific!

Those air borne seeds are a wonder to behold in flight, and if you miss one taking root in your raspberry patch, as an example, it very quickly establishes dominance.

There are so many seeds…I admire birch trees. Admire but don’t wish to be one. They often grow in clusters and I see a gaggle of girls giggling and sharing secrets. The birch wood is also wonderfully hot and clean when burning in a furnace or stove or campfire. They don’t have the staying power of the oak.

After analyzing other trees, and analyzing many other trees, I will stick with wanting to be an oak.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022

Tips for teachers, Part II Faithfully T Yours wo thousand years ago, in one of the many private conversations Jesus had with his disciples, he spoke of the influence teachers can have on those they teach.

“Students,” he said, “when they are fully taught, will be just like their teachers.” (see Luke 6:39-42) Those words challenge teachers to be their best, to do their best and adhere to the highest possible standards of morality and integrity in the classroom and in their interactions with students outside of the classroom. Our communities are blessed with teachers who work hard to meet the standards set by this challenge. I pray that their efforts will succeed.

But these words also contain a warning. A famous quote, attributed to Greek philosopher Aristotle, says: “Give me a child until he is seven; and I will show you the man.”

His words have not been ignored. Organizations and entities of all types (government, religious, educational and business) believe that if they can fill a child’s mind with their ideas, philosophies and beliefs; or if they can win a child’s loyalty to their products or brands, they will

Neil Strohschein

have a devoted follower and loyal customer for life.

At different times in human history, authoritarian regimes have used the school system (especially early childhood classes) to indoctrinate children to such an extreme that they will renounce allegiances to family, community and traditional religious beliefs and swear total allegiance to the state and its leader.

That is why, through out their time in elementary, middle and high school, students need to be taught the value of critical thinking.

Wikipedia defines critical thinking as “the analysis of available facts<https:// e n .w i k i pe d i a .o rg/w i k i/ Fact>, evidence<https:// en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Evidence>, obser vat ions<ht t ps:// e n .w i k i pe d i a .o rg/w i k i/ O bs e r v a t i o n>, a n d a r g u m e n t s < h t t p s : // en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument> that enable a per-

son to form a judgement based on rational<https:// e n .w i k i p e d i a .o r g/w i k i/ Rational>, skeptical<https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skepticism>, and unbiased<https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias> analyses and evaluation.”

In an address to Christian leaders given many years ago, the late Dr. Howard Hendricks (Education professor at Dallas Theological Seminary) said that, in his view, “Christian leaders need to stop answering so many questions for the people and urge them to start questioning more answers.”

I agree wholeheartedly with that statement.

We need to teach our children the importance of finding their own answers to some of life’s questions. We need to show them where to find the best information available and how to discern fact from opinion. Then we can show them how to use the facts they find to discern answers that will be very

There is a season S ummer has and always will be one of my favourite seasons.

The sun heat beating down on my face, the freckles on my son’s nose, telling the tale of hours spent outside, playing without a care in the world.

The late evenings are spent soaking in the calming cracklings of the fireside, while our boys stay up after the age old ‘five more minutes’ game turns into 25 because they are only little once and summer is fleeting.

But as I wandered outside in my yard this week, slowly taking in the quiet babbling of the creek, the birds singing in the trees, the breeze gently rustling over the leaves like a dance; I noticed the tell tale signs that my favourite season is coming to a close for yet another year.

The leaves on the trees that start out as such vibrantly green buds that

Tara Kauenhofen

burst into an array of different hues of green in the spring start to show signs of fall.

The once solid green starts to melt to yellow and orange and burgundy.

My garden, once only holding the tiny shoots that fight to come to the surface of the dirt to find the sunshine, now runs wild and full of life. Tomatoes, carrots, garlic and squash all become ripe for the picking, all at the same time as it always seems to happen.

As I was walking and taking in the inevitable change, I was reminded that just as the seasons change year to

year, so do the seasons of our lives shift and morph.

I was reminded of God’s faithfulness, his goodness and provision.

I was reminded that he has a good and perfect plan for each of us, if he has a plan for each season to thrive in its own way, to have purpose,

difficult for others to refute.

This is especially important when dealing with on-line material; where just about anyone can post just about anything about any subject and make their assumptions appear to be irrefutable truth. The critical thinking I’ve just described takes time to develop; Teachers are a vital part of the process.

A teacher’s task is simple.

Just ask students if they have facts to support any extreme statements they make. If they don’t, show them how to “fact check” their statements so they can share their views in a manner that respects those who may not agree with them.

This country desperately needs leaders who will tell people the truth-not the truth they want us to hear and not the truth they think we want to hear-but the truth we need to hear to save our lives, to save our economy, to save our country and to save our world.

Tax cuts in action What a difference a year makes. During the run up the to the 2023 Provincial election the opposition was calling for the instillation of CatScan equipment in Portage’s new general hospital.

The government side of the issue offered that the Portage catchment area did not have sufficient patient numbers to justify the cost of installing and staffing a CatScan in Portage.

It was also pointed out that Winnipeg, Brandon and Boundary Trails were all within an hours drive of Portage la Prairie. I accepted this latter argument as being valid.

The election not only reversed the roles our two main political parties in the legislature, it also reversed their position in regard to the instillation of a CatScan in Portage. The difference being government expenditures have to be funded by unpopular taxes. The opposition bears no responsibility for taxation and is comfortable in calling for government expenditures including the installation of CatScan’s. The Editor of the Banner & Press offered. “In rural areas of Minnesota that are similar to western Manitoba, there are CT scanners every 50 miles or so”. What he did not mention was the size of the population in the Minnesota catchment areas or the cost of accessing the system or how the system is funded.

Missing in this debate is the disclosure of the actual cost of installing, maintaining and staffing a CatScan. I posed this question to an opposition MLA, the answer was “I don’t know”. This is representative of the state of our political discourse.

A politician seeking election must promise and deliver tax cuts. The transfer of tax cuts into service cuts will eventually lead to a governments defeat.

Petitions are now being circulated regarding the condition of some of Manitoba’s secondary highways that have fallen victim of earlier tax cuts.

I can’t help wonder how many of those signing these petitions voted for earlier tax cuts that are directly responsible for the deteriorated condition of their provincial highway. By example, Manitoba Premier, Was Kinew delivered on his promise to remove the provincial tax on gasoline. The oil companies quickly occupied the space provided and are not inclined to fund Manitoba road repairs with their new found wealth that is being redirected from the provincial treasury and road repairs to oil company shareholders. Without exception those voting for tax cuts envision the associated service cuts will be applied to withdrawing someone else’s government services. That someone else often has a racial component attached. If we want a CatScan in Portage la Prairie, Neepawa and every fifty miles thereafter let us then cost it out and identify the source of tax revenue needed to support the service and decide if we are prepared to pay the price. A tax cut wrapped in petition will not fund and staff CatScans in Portage or Neepawa, or fund the rebuilding of provincial highways. Potholes in a highway are tax cuts in action.

Garden tomatoes

A bounty of fresh tomatoes always leads to questions about ways to use them. Hopefully this helps you.

This method is so simple to skin tomatoes for various recipes: bring a large pot of water a boil. Working in batches, drop the tomatoes in one at a time, then let sit in the boiling water until the skins split open, 30-60 seconds. One at a time, remove tomatoes from hot water with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl of cold water. When cool enough to touch, slip off and discard the tomato skins and remove the hard stem end and core. Trim away any bad spots. Voila, it’s just that easy. When I get too busy to deal with ripe tomatoes I like to freeze them whole. It is the easiest way to keep ripe tomatoes until you’re ready to use them. You don’t have to peel them first. When ready to use place into a bowl of hot water and the skins just pop off.

Swap out the basil and oregano for cumin and chili if you prefer Mexican food, or coriander and garam masala blend for Indian food.

Freezer tomato sauce

6-7 lbs. ripe tomatoes, cut large toma3-4 tsp. salt toes into quarters, small ones in half 1 tsp. pepper 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil 4 Tbsp. sugar 2 large onions, peeled 1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped and cut into quarters 1/4 cup fresh Oregano, chopped 4 garlic cloves, peeled or 2 Tbsp. dried 3-4 bell peppers, cut into smaller pieces Peel tomatoes with the hot water bath method mentioned above. In a large heavy bottomed pot heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5-6 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the peppers, salt, pepper and sugar. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the basil and oregano and simmer for 15 minutes more. Cool slightly and then blend in a blender or put through a food processer. Cool quickly in a sink of cold water. Place in freezer containers and freeze until ready to use.

This chili sauce can be canned or frozen. The peppers you choose vary the spiciness of this sauce. Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin.

Avoid touching your face.

This home, which was formerly located at 483 Second Ave. in Neepawa, was once lived in by John and Margaret Wemyss. John nd Margaret were the paternal grandparents of Margaret Laurence. Mrs. Wemyss was the daughter of Dr. David H. Harrison, who owned the first private bank in Neepawa. Harrison had also served as Premier of Manitoba from Dec. 1887 to Jan. 1888.

Laurence and her parents lived in this home with Mrs. Wemyss Sr. for a short while in the 1930s. The period of Laurence’s life spent in this home was reflected on within her novel A Bird in the House. The original construction was of red brick.

Celebrating National Legion Week in Neepawa Submitted Neepawa Legion National Legion Week, Sunday, Sept. 15 to Saturday, Sept. 21, is an annual event that celebrates and promotes the work of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The Legion is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans, their families, and promoting remembrance of those who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

In the period of time between the two World Wars, there was talk of establishing a legion in Neepawa. However, it was not until after WW2 that the community took action.

There was a need to assist returning personnel back into society particularly with housing. Many of the buildings from the airport were utilized at that time.

The actual building, where it stands today, was completed in 1949. Over the years the building has undergone numerous renovations, improving facilities for both community and Legion events. The Legion building serves as a venue for various events, fostering community engagement and support. (For a more detailed history, see Neepawa Land of Opportunity 1883-1983 page 99 and The Beautiful Plains Story 1983-2008 page 69).

The Neepawa Legion has supported many local initiatives, including donating space for local groups, horticultural society, play school, nursery school and the Neepawa Area Health Auxiliary. They have also contributed to Victoria Quilts, Fine Arts Festival, Kid Sport, Manitoba World War 1 Museum, Town of Neepawa, Salvation Army, the local bird Sanctuary, Chamber of Commerce, Neepawa Palliative Care, Eden Park and

The Ladies Legion Auxiliary is a group of dedicated women who meet 10 times a year. They support the community in preparing banquets to raise funds for various organizations.

They also support post secondary education with two scholarships of $1,200 given to graduating high school students.

There are notable events that are sponsored by the Neepawa Legion:special ceremonies to honour veterans, particularly on Remembrance Day, are organized to promote remembrance and recognition of military service.

schools and groups to educate youth about Canada’s military history and the importance of remembrance is another area.

A Dart League meets regularly in the Legion and at times has “Live Dart competitions.” As well it offers a place for a Cribbage night. In the winter, on Tuesday afternoons,

there is the opportunity for musicians to get together to practice their skills, often entertaining an audience.

Cadet Number Nine Squadron is sponsored by the Neepawa Legion, providing youth with leadership training, discipline, and community involvement opportunities. They w ill purchase a f light

The Neepawa Legion supports community work through activities such as Friday meat draws, Chase the Ace, raffles, Christmas poinsettia sales, bonspiels, golf tournaments, poker tournaments and trivia nights held to support their programs.

It’s easy to get involved

with the Neepawa Legion.

Membership is open to anyone who supports the Legion’s values and goals.

There are opportunities to volunteer in their various programs as well as support and learn about the Legion’s work.

Financial contributions are always welcome to fund the Legion’s community and support programs.

For National Legion week in Neepawa, the Cadets will be laying a wreath at the Cenotaph on Sunday, Sept. 15. On Friday, there will be a street dance with live music from 7-11 in front of the Legion.

The Neepawa Legion plays a vital role in the community, providing a space for events, supporting various local initiatives, and fostering a sense of remembrance and respect for veterans. National Legion Week is an excellent opportunity to engage with and support the Legion’s ongoing efforts.

By Cam Dahl Manitoba Pork This past January, the Government of Canada announced its “Team Canada” missions to the U.S., to promote Canadian exports in advance of the upcoming renegotiation of the Canada - U.S. - Mexico Agreement (CUSMA, the former NAFTA). The missions to State legislatures and the United States government are a good thing, but something is lacking. I have heard little mention of cross-border trade in agriculture and food products when the “Team Canada” missions are discussed.

Our federal government talks about securing trade vital to national security, but for some reason agriculture and food seem not to be included in the national security bucket.

This is despite the fact that agriculture and food is one of our largest export sectors, accounting for about $60

Where is agriculture?

billion in exports to the U.S. annually.

Canada is an exporting nation and Manitoba is an exporting province. For example, 90 per cent of the eight million pigs raised in Manitoba every year are exported, either as packages of pork shipped around the world or as live animal exports to the United States. The international agricultural landscape is witnessing a troubling trend towards protectionism, and these exports are at risk.

Manitoba’s farmers and processors cannot afford market access restrictions and need our governments to aggressively fight for our interests.

What protectionist headwinds are farmers facing in the U.S. marketplace?

There are state level regulations that reach beyond the borders of individual states, like Proposition 12 in California. Extraterritorial legislation by individual states fractures the

integrated North American market for agriculture and food products, increases the price for consumers, and decreases the return for farmers. There is also a new country of origin labelling law from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that will discriminate against Canadian pigs and cattle exported to the U.S. Again, this results in higher prices for consumers and lower returns for farmers. Canada needs to have a strategy to be much more assertive in pushing back against these new trade barriers.

New barriers to crossborder agriculture and food trade are appearing against the backdrop of the upcoming renegotiation of CUSMA. Canadian agriculture will almost certainly be a target, no matter who wins the U.S. elections this November. Canada needs to develop a comprehensive agriculture and food strategy as we approach the renegotiation of CUSMA.

For starters, agriculture and food export interests should be included in outreach to state and national legislators. Agriculture should be part of “Team Canada”.

Without a defined national strategy, developed in collaboration with farmers and processors, agricultural and food export interests may be overlooked, or even traded off, to protect other sectors when the CUSMA renegotiations take place.

Farmers have a reason to be wary that their trade interests will not be of primary concern. For example, when the Government of Canada announced a 100 per cent tariff on imports of China-made electric vehicles and a 25 per cent duty on Chinese steel and aluminum, China quickly responded by initiating a dumping probe on canola exports. It is hard to object to the Government of Canada taking action to protect Canadian jobs from unfair trading practices, however,

farmers should not carry the costs if retaliatory measures are taken. The Government of Canada has seen fit to offset the impact of trade agreements on other sectors of agriculture and the same consideration should be given if our exports become political targets.

This needs to be part of the comprehensive agriculture and food trade strategy.

The Government of Manitoba also has a key role to play in protecting farmers’ market access. Premier Kinew recently created the Business and Jobs Council, which undertook a trade mission to the U.S. this spring. This is a positive step. However, our voice could be amplified, both in Washington and Ottawa, if there was a common agriculture trade strategy developed across the prairie provinces. Collaboration across Western Canada on agriculture and food trade should extend beyond the U.S. For example, it

would be a breakthrough in collaborative government if Manitoba were to work with the other prairie governments to establish a presence in key Asia Pacific markets that are targeted for growth in agriculture trade from Western Canada.

Farmers who rely on international markets face significant market access threats that will have substantial negative impacts on incomes, especially in Western Canadian provinces, if we fail to act. There needs to be a concerted effort to develop a comprehensive agriculture and food trade strategy aimed at protecting the trade access we have today and breaking open new opportunities to offset protectionist threats. The development of this strategy must include farmers and processors, and it should include collaboration across provincial governments as well as the Government of Canada.

Beautiful Plains Museum history: Soddies

Submitted Beautiful Plains Museum When the new settlers arrived to the prairies, they soon realized that this new country was not the paradise they envisioned.

On the southern plains, the scarcity of trees and stones posed a major house building problem. Most of the settlers were short on f inances and importing lumber was difficult. With grim determination, those settlers had to rely on the only building material that was on the land; prairie sod.

Most soddies, as they were known, were built between the 1800s and World War I and replaced by woodframe houses as soon as the homesteader could afford the building materials.

Sod is the top layer of

earth that includes the grass, its roots, and the dirt clinging to the roots.

Using a plow, furrows about 15 inches (38cm) wide and four inches (10 cm) thick were cut. When the sod was cut it was laid right away because if it dried out it crumbled. The first layer was built by placing the sod grass side down and side by side to form the base.

the slabs of sod were laid with the joints staggered and corners overlapped.

The slabs were placed lengthwise, making a wall two feet (61cm) or more thick. At around two feet (61cm) high the spaces for a window and a door had the frame set in them and rows of sod were continued around them. Pegs, driven into the sod through holes in the frames, held them

in place. There were few windows in a sod home as the holes would weaken the walls and the windows were expensive. At the top of the window frame two layers of sod were left off and poles laid over the gap. The resulting gap, stuffed with grass or rags, protected the windows from breaking as the house settled.

Once the walls were up, poplar poles or lumber were

laid on top of the walls to hold the ridge pole and roof rafters. The roof was usually covered with two overlapping layers of tar paper and then layers of sod were added to complete the roof. The average sod house took roughly 3,000 slabs of sod to build or one acre of sod. Most sod houses were about sixteen by twenty feet (4.8 m by 6 m) with one room. Many homes were

plastered with a mud solution and white washed to help the walls from leaking dirt and insects. Many had cellars dug under the house with a wood covering and trap door to store food for the winter.

There were disadvantages to these sod homes.

When it rained the roof leaked for several days afterwards. The pots on the stove had to always have their lids on them or your soup was muddy. The advantages of sod homes were that they were cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Even in the middle of winter, water did not freeze in a sod house as did in most houses made of lumber. As well, being made of dirt made them virtually fireproof.

Cole Farquhar is hoping to make your next local barbershop experience a cut above the rest. Farquhar, who was raised in Neepawa, has recently returned home and established the Brick House Barbershop. Situated inside Venus Hair & Body Care at 341 Mountain Avenue, Farquhar is looking to provided a little bit of the classic barbershop experience, with the techniques and skills connected to the modern styles and trends.

Farquhar told the Banner & Press that while he has worked at barber shops in Brandon for the past few years, establishing his brand a little closer to home was always the endgame.

“It’s always been the goal of mine to start a shop here [in Neepawa], since I began cutting hair,” said Farquhar. “As for how I got the opportunity here, I started going around town trying to find a vacant space to rent, but there wasn’t really anything that would work for me starting out like this, that was available. An opportunity here [to rent a chair/space at Venus] came around, and that’s actually the best opportunity. I can skip the complicated business parts of establishing yourself and just focus on the clients, getting my name out there and building my reputation.”

Farquhar stated that it’s been great collaborating with Venus Hair &

Bringing an‘old barbership vibe’ to Neepawa

Body Care, as they are well known and regarded locally, and that’s been a very good way to introduce himself to the potential clients.

As for the feedback from customers, so far it’s been overwhelmingly positive, with the hot straight razor shaves, being a favourite.

Farquhar shared a story of one customer, a 90-yearold gentlemen, who hadn’t had a hot towel and a shave

for quite some time. He said the client was happy with getting another chance to experience it.

Looking ahead, Farquhar noted that he sees is a lot of potential for his business to grow in the Neepawa market.

“There is potential, because this community has really grown over the last few years. We have a few barbers in town, but I think we’re at the point where

there’s room for more.

There’s enough business around here for everyone,” expressed Farquhar. “I want to be the type of option out there for young people, maybe looking for the more modern styles that are still done in an old school sort of way.”

‘It’s almost surreal’

Neepawa group to host first local Pride celebration Neepawa will be welcoming another first to its long, rich history this weekend.

On Sunday, Sept. 15, the grounds of ArtsForward will be host to the inaugural Neepawa’s Got Pride event. This event is open to the public and has been organized by Neepawa and Area Pride, a group formed this year which welcomes LGBT+ individuals and allies.

Neepawa’s Got Pride will take place from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., with a variety of activities featured for all to enjoy as a way to celebrate Pride– an annual occasion for the LGBT+ community which is typically marked in June.

“At this event, we’re really just opening it up to everyone who wants to come,” said Rhian Beever, president of Neepawa and area Pride. “Like any Pride event, it’s family friendly, it’s open to the public and we’re asking our family, our friends, our allies to come out and celebrate with us and help keep or get the momentum going in Neepawa, because I think we’re seeing that little bit of a shift here.”

Fun for all A portion of the events includes a free barbecue, with hot dogs, drinks and cake. There will also be Filipino barbecue done by the local Bhaghari (Filipino LGBT+).

“We’re so lucky to have the diversity of the Filipino community and that’s such a huge part of the celebration, is food,” said Beever.

The afternoon will feature activities such as button making, face and rock painting, a presentation from former Neepawa resident Veronica Gingles, booths from organizations such as SERC (Sexuality Education Resource Centre MB), Westman Empowerment, the Neepawa Library, a free movie (Breakfast with Scot) at The Roxy at 4:30 p.m., music from a live DJ and some drag performances.

“We have two local Drag queens, MX Dione and MillKiTah, and then we

have the Drag Mother out of House of Hex, Flora Hex, coming to do a number,” said Rhian. “This whole event will be held outside on the ArtsForward grounds so that it’s visible and not put behind closed doors and that anybody can be a part of it if they so choose.”

For those unfamiliar, Drag is a performance art with an extensive history and is an important part of LGBT+ history. In Drag, individuals dress up in expressive ways and typically put forward an embellished appearance and use a stage name (persona). Drag queens, in this instance, are people– often men– who portray a feminine persona.

“If you speak to a Drag artist, it is a way to express themselves and to kind of come about finding themselves, I think, a lot of the time. It’s just about being in that safe place and being able to do something that they truly love. And a lot of them will say it’s truly freeing,” said Beever.

“As a spectator to that, it’s absolutely fantastic to watch because the happiness that these individuals exude, it can be contagious. So I think we’re really fortunate to have Drag coming to Neepawa in this sort of setting.”

A freeing moment With Neepawa’s Got Pride arriving in just a couple days, Beever shared that Neepawa and Area Pride is excited to host the event for the first time.

“It’s almost surreal to think that we’re doing this as quickly as we are, but I think the need is there.

We anticipate our allies, friends and families will be right there alongside us as they always have been and this is our outward way of showing exactly that,” said Beever. “And making Pride very visible in Neepawa for anyone who may need this activity, for ourselves who are out and visible in the community… It’s

important for us to know the support is there within Neepawa and area and that we’re all committed to working toward an environment that is inclusive and diverse like it is.”

Beever also shared from a personal perspective as to why Pride events such as this are so important.

“I have two young kids with my partner– and my family, to us, is not different, it’s just a different variation of what a family can be.

So events like these allow families like ours to be just like everybody else around us,” said Beever. “There’s a comfort there, it’s a freeing moment. It’s knowing that you are on the right path, I guess you could say, as are my kids. They are going to meet roadblocks on the way where they’re told they’re different, their family is different, where they come from is different.”

Beever added, “But the reality is they’re not, everyone just has a different story.

And that is exactly who you are supposed to be. So the more that we expose ourselves and, in my case, my children, to events like Pride, they realize that they aren’t alone in this world. That we’re never by ourselves and there are other people out there that are like us and will love us unconditionally, no matter what the difference may be.”

In her closing comments, Beever stated that Neepawa and Area Pride is looking forward to the day, but also to the future.

“I think it’s important to note that all of this is not possible without the sponsors that we’ve had come forward and willing to support us in this endeavor this is the first step to bring Pride to Neepawa, and we really look forward to having it kick off, but also being able to do more things like this in the future,” Beever shared.

For the second time in the last four years, the team of Lindsay Jordan and Erin McCartney of Portage la Prairie are the winners of the Neepawa Golf & Country Club’s Sunflower Classic. The pair, who are members of the Portage Golf Club, also won the 2021 event, which is played each year under the net stableford scoring format.

Stableford consists of players scoring one point for a bogey, two for par, three for a birdie, four for an eagle and five for an albatross.

The team with the fewest accumulated points after 18 holes wins. Jordan and McCartney’s 72 points had them tied with Carla Richardson and Carolyn Hardy, though they won via the count back system of tiebreaker.

In their four years of competing at the Sunflower, Jordan and McCartney have quickly established themselves as a team to look out for. To go along with their two victories, they also finished in second place last year, and third overall in 2022.

After the event, they told the Banner & Press that

Stocks of Canadian crops

By Shawn Cabak

Manitoba Agriculture

Total stocks of canola and barley were up as of July 31, compared with the same date a year earlier.

Stocks of wheat, oats, dry peas and lentils were down.

Total stocks of wheat fell 18.5 per cent year over year to 4.6 million tonnes as of July 31. The decline was partially due to lower total national supply (-1.0 per cent year over year to 38.7 million tonnes).

C om mer c i a l s t o c k s rose 39.7 per cent to 3.8 million tonnes while onfarm stocks fell (-72.7 per cent to 796 000 tonnes).

Exports of wheat fell 1.2 per cent to 25.2 million tonnes but remained above the five-year average for the period.

Canola crush hits record high Total stocks of canola increased 66.9 per cent year over year to 3.1 million tonnes as of July 31 on higher commercial stocks (+129.0 per cent to 2.3 million tonnes).

On-farm stocks fell 7.7 per cent to 775 000 tonnes.

Total domestic disappearance of canola (mostly for crushing) increased 8.1 per cent to a record 11.5 mill ion ton nes, l i kely i n response to increased demand for renewable energy. Higher domestic disappearance was more than offset by lower exports of canola (-15.9 per cent to 6.7 million tonnes), resulting in higher ending stocks.

Total stocks of dry peas fell 36.7 per cent year over year to 348 000 tonnes as of July 31. Stocks of lentils totalled 179 000 tonnes, down 15.2 percent from the same date in 2023.

Barley stocks increase and oats are down Ba rle y st o c k s wer e up 72.6 per cent year over year to 1.2 million tonnes as of July 31, on higher on-farm (+57.6 per cent to 878 000 tonnes) and commercial (+126.3 per cent to 344 000 tonnes) stocks. Barley used largely for feed purposes fell 12.9 per cent to 4.8 million tonnes as of July 31.

Total stocks of oats were down 63.7 per cent year over year to 463 000 tonnes as of July 31 because of lower harvest in 2023. Oat exports fell (-12.1 per cent to 2.3 million tonnes), as did oats used for animal feed (-36.1 per cent to 934 700 tonnes), because of lower total supply.

Ammoniating forages improves feed quality

By Shawn Cabak

Manitoba Agriculture

Producers faced with the problem of storing high moisture feed or wanting to improve the feed value of low quality forages should consider ammoniation.

Ammonia (NH3), which contains nitrogen, increases the crude protein content and improves the energy by breaking down the poorly digested fibre of mature forages. Ammonia also acts as a preservative of higher moisture feeds by destroying molds and bacteria during the ammoniation process.

Factors affecting the response to ammoniation Percent moisture in the roughage, the time of ammoniation, temperature and the amount of anhydrous ammonia applied are the key factors affecting forage response to the ammoniation process. When using ammonia to improve the protein content of low

The application of ammonia provides these advantages: • increased forage digestibility (TDN) by 10 to 30 per cent; • increased forage intake by 10 to 20 per cent; • increased crude protein content (85-125 percent in past Mb Ag trials when NH3 injected at three per cent).

Ellen was a beautiful quilter and especially loved making baby quilts. She loved music and could play the organ by ear. She adored animals and had many pets who she spoiled over the years. She went all out for Christmas and was known for her ability to decorate every inch of their home (including wrapping all her kitchen cupboards in Christmas paper). Her sense of humour and her extremely quick wit is unmatched. She will forever be remembered for her generosity as well as her overall kind positive little self. She was a doting wife, an amazing mom and the best Nanny.

Ellen is survived by her husband Peter. Children: Jason, Justin (Elaine) and Jill (Preston). Grandchildren: Paige, Sara (Casey), Jared (Karly), Morgan (Kennedy) and Leah. Great-grandchildren: Roman and Miller.

Beautiful Plains Museum history: Prosthesis

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press According to the National Library of Medicine magazine titled MedlinePlus, the presence of prosthesis began quite early. These early prosthetics were uncomfortable to wear, but may have helped people return to work or simply feel accepted in their daily lives. It is also unknown if the first prosthetics were functional or purely for appearance.

The oldest known prosthetics were not full limbs, either. Rather, they are two different artificial toes originating from ancient Egypt.

The first is the “Greville Chester toe”, which was made from cartonnage (a material similar to papermache that’s made from glue, linen and plaster). It is thought to be between 2,600

and 3,400 years old. This toe does not bend and thus is theorized to have been for cosmetic purposes.

The second toe is known as the “Cairo toe” and is estimated to be between 2,700 and 3,000 years old. This toe was flexible and was refitted for the wearer multiple times.

This positions it to be the earliest known, practical, prosthetic.

In about 300 B.C., in Italy, an ancient Roman nobleman used a prosthetic that has been dubbed the “Cape leg”. This leg was made of bronze and hollowed out wood and was held up with leather straps.

Many other prosthetics came about, such as a wood and aluminum prosthetic arm invented by William Robert Grossmith in the mid-19th century. Some advances in prosthetics came

about due to war, which resulted in record numbers of amputees. With these advances, prosthetics slowly became less painful for amputees to wear.

The prosthetics of the old days are certainly a far cry from today’s! Nowadays prosthetics are better fitting, more practical and have even been specially adapted to use in sporting activities. However, accessibility of these aid devices– especially to those that are high functioning– may still be an issue due to factors such as high costs.

According to another article by Med+, and supported by Brittannica Encyclopedia, the first recorded use of a self-propelled chairs dates to approximately 1655.

This was when a disabled Ger man watchmaker Stephan Farmer made a three-wheeled chair which

could be propelled using a rotary handle on the front wheel. Around the same time, another German man named Johann Hautsch, an inventor and mechanic, also developed a series of rolling chairs.

At this time, these chairs were designed as a means of transport primarily for the wealthy. But, in the 18th century, wheelchairs began to appear in surgical and medical catalogues. They were advertised in these catalogues as transport vehicles for patients. These were similar to armchairs in style and were made of wood, wicker or iron with large wheels at the front and one caster at the rear for balance. They are described as being ornate, heavy and cumbersome.

Folding wheelchairs wouldn’t be developed until the 20th century– and pushrim-activated power-assisted (PAPAW) wheelchairs wouldn’t be developed until the 21st century!

The Burton family cairn

By Ken Waddell Neepawa Banner & Press

The Burton family has been in the Kelwood area for a long time, 100 years to be exact and this summer Ellery Burton and some helpers built a cairn on the family farm north of Kelwood to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the family farm and Jeff Burton’s 90th birthday.

The cairn is made from area rocks, some of the bricks from the old farmhouse chimney and the cross on the cairn is made from wood from the house.

The inscription says, “In honour of The Burton Family members that broke this land, fought for their country and helped their neighbours. Established 1923”.

Pictured right: The Burton family cairn, which commemorates the long-standing Burton family of the Kelwood area.
