The grade one class is lead by Glenda MacPhee and does gardening related activities at the Neepawa school, which gave them plenty of practice for this task.

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell

Last year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was quick to shoot down a proposed tax on internet service providers to fund Canadian news media. This year, there’s a serious push to institute the same type of tax, this time, to fund the production of Canadian entertainment media.

Radio stations and cable providers over a certain size have to pay into the Canadian Content Development Fund and Canadian Me d i a Fu nd .

T hese org a n- MY izations provide PERSPECTIVE money to help fund the production of Canadian television, Kate film, music and Jackman-Atkinson digital media.

Canadian broadcasters have complained that it’s hard to compete with international streaming services that don’t have these extra costs. It’s a legitimate complaint as many Canadians abandon cable and satellite TV. Earlier this month, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) released a report about the future of programming distribution in Canada. The report’s goal was to look at a future environment that will support a vibrant domestic market that will remain competitive in the new global environment. Among their recommendations was the need to impose a levy on online music and video services to help fund the creation and promotion of Canadian content. The CRTC has said that the proposed levy won’t result in more money, just a redistribution of where it comes from. Essentially, this would apply the old rules to new media.

When broadcasters had to create physical infrastructure to reach Canadian consumers, it was easy to charge levies and enforce Canadian content requirements. But today, we are consuming media from too many sources for that to be feasible. How could the government go about charging all of these companies to build the Can Con slush fund? They can’t, instead, they’ll charge internet service providers and it’s impossible to see how that won’t increase the already high prices Canadians pay. The problem is that not everyone is using the internet to stream movies and music and for many, it makes up a small part of what they do online.

The question of how to get international media companies to pay for the creation of Can Con ignores the most important question; do we still need to be paying for the creation and dissemination of Canadian content? A century ago, Canadians worried that American radio was an imminent threat to Canadian culture, leading to the creation of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Broadcasting Act, which became the CRTC. Are these fears still valid?

The Canadian Media Fund, which deals with film, television and digital media, distributed $361 million in funding to 1,500 productions in 2016-17. Among the big funding winners were the popular show Heartland, which received almost $10 million for its tenth season, and Alias Grace, a miniseries based on Margaret Atwood’s 1996 novel of the same name, which received over $4 million. I think they would have been made even without this funding; they, and many others, are popular and good programs can stand on their own. Of the other funded programs, I’d be hard pressed to find 20 familiar titles.

If our concern is telling Canadian stories and maintaining our culture in an increasingly globalized world, news media is doing this far more effectively than a 30 minute sit com on CBC ever could.

When the government has already said that supporting news media in the face of international competition this is not worth funding, how can entertainment be? Forcing an unwieldy regulatory regime on international companies or Canadian internet service providers isn’t going to make Canadians watch shows they don’t care about or music they don’t like. Maybe Can Con’s days are over.

The unseen guest

t hung on the wall in the huge kitchen of my paternal grandparents’ farm home. It was the first thing you saw after entering the house. It wasn’t elaborate. It probably cost less than $2 to buy; but it caught your eye immediately and its message was powerful.

It was a small white plaque with black lettering.

It read as follows: “Christ is the head of this house; the unseen guest at every meal; the silent listener to every conversation.”

I saw that plaque every time I visited their home; but I never realized how significant it was until recently. That little piece of wood was a silent testimony to the faith of my ancestors.

My grandfather served as a municipal councillor for over 25 years. In fact, he died in office. In those days, he was known as a “road councillor,” because his major responsibility was looking after the roads in his ward—making sure they were regularly gravelled, graded during the summer months and

FAITHFULLY YOURS

Neil Strohschein plowed in the winter. And if any road construction was happening, Grandpa was on site, making sure it was done to his and the local residents’ satisfaction.

Grandpa and Grandma’s home was always open to visitors—friends and neighbors who came by for a visit, children, grandchildren and later on great grandchildren who dropped by just to say “hi,” have a coffee and enjoy some of Grandma’s excellent home baking.

Not everyone who came through the door of their home shared my grandparents’ faith. In fact some of them had no faith at all. That’s where the little plaque came in handy. Anyone who walked into their kitchen knew that within the walls of their home, my grandparents would not tolerate any language that

showed disrespect for other people or for God. But the influence of that motto extended far beyond my grandparents’ time on this earth. To this day, it reminds me that someone is always watching me; and that every thought, word and deed are being recorded somewhere in the heavenly record books.

It also reminds me that one day, I will answer for everything I have done and that, when I am guilty of sins against God and others, I need to seek forgiveness quickly.

The unseen guest who lived in my grandparents’ home lives in every home on this planet. He fills every work place, every vehicle and every office.

He is there whenever and wherever gangs, mobs or corrupt leaders plan and commit their deeds. He

knows who is guilty of every criminal act—even those the police haven’t been able to solve. And He knows whose remains rest in unmarked graves, wherever they may be.

He is also fully aware of every random act of kindness, every intervention that either saved a life or helped avert certain disaster, every encouraging word that is spoken, every silent prayer that is offered and every act of love, acceptance and forgiveness that people show to others. His smile of approval rests on every person who does even one of these good deeds; for as he said: “Whatever you do for one of the least of these my people, you do for me.”

Christ is the unseen guest, the one who sees, who hears and who knows all that will happen on this day. You do not need to invite him to walk with you.

He is already close by. He only asks that you welcome him as your friend and trust him to be your protector and helper when times get tough.

Their story must be told

O

nce again I had the privilege of taking a vacation. Time in Poland, the Isle of Iona, and the city of Edinburgh allowed me to see new scenes, feel uncomfortable emotions, and play with a lifetime friend. Our first stop was Krakow, our accommodation at the heart of the old city, a block from a never quiet square. After taking a day or two to get our bearings, we headed out on a tour of the Auswhitch/ Birkenau concentration camps. Oh, my. I was ever so thankful that the sun was shining and the tour guide factual, not fanciful, and I was with a friend. I could not help but contrast my experience and emotions on Juno and Omaha beaches, and my experience and emotion at these camps. The beaches, though they witnessed carnage and suffered a bloodbath, were, for me, tranquil and serene, as if those who sacrificed their lives for my freedoms,

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen knew appreciation and the loss has been acknowledged. I felt a great deal of unfinished business at the camps.

The atmosphere heavy and sad, restless souls still seeking vindication. The two scenes inter wove again as we exited the grounds.

Our last stop was the killing yard, just outside the isolation chambers and interrogation rooms. As we stepped into the open air and sunshine, from high in the tree tops came the welcome and encouraging song of birds. In my mind I heard – ‘the larks, still bravely singing f ly. We are the dead, short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunsets glow….take up the quarrel with the

foe, if you break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep..’ For me, in that moment, the parallels were overpowering. If we break fa it h…t he stor y, t heir story, must be told and understood so as to never be repeated in history.

Needless to say we needed a quiet day to process and recoup. We had toured the Krakow ghetto and the cemetery before the tour, and read many a book, so the tour was a verification, a reality check. The names on the walls and in the books…

Enjoyed the day at Wawel castle – did you know that a Royal tapestry can have up to one kilo of real gold thread? That’s what enhances the deep colours,

and whereas a common tapestry can be completed in a few months, a royal one may take a year or more to complete. Many steps to the highest point, presenting a fantastic view of the city, and many steps way down, to the Dragon’s Den, and an exit on the shores of the Vistula River.

There were many cathedrals calling for our time, and so we responded as best we could. One evening we caught a concert at the church of Saints Peter and Paul- the classics, Vivaldi and Pachelbel’s Canon. Majestic.

Several quest ions plagued me. Every church was open to the public, many had ind iv idua ls kneeling in prayer or sitting in quiet contemplation. If we had all of our churches open, would folks come in and sit down? One Sunday morning the church was packed to overf lowing, ind iv idua ls k neel ing outside on the cobblestones.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin

June is the month of adventure I think. Kids are looking forward to the end of this school year and preparing for the holidays and the beautiful weather the summer usually brings. Young people are getting excited because their 12 year school term is finally finished and at graduation time they can proudly show their diploma. New horizons are opening up. It could be further education or workforce or what ever they dreamed about might happen after school is finished. Last week I attended my grandson’s College graduation. Besides the happy graduates there were many very proud parents and family.

What about the little ones? They proudly graduate and are awaiting a totally new world when they start school in grade one.

Bible camps are in preparation for a new summer camp season and many children are looking forward to the exciting events that will take place during their week stay at camp.

Paul tells us in Colossians 3:17 “whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Let this be our aim this week.

Democratic reforms Improving democracy, or more correctly the way in which we practice democracy, is difficult. There are dozens of different views, most with some merit and many with inherent problems that are no better than what we have.

There is nothing to prevent us from some modifications to our present system without creating a new system and new problems.

The first step would be to elect half of our federal parliament every other year. The initial election would elect half of the parliament for a two-year term and the remainder for a four-year term. Thereafter all elections would be for four-year terms.

One half of the commons seats would be up for re-election in two years but thereafter, we would be electing one-half of the MPs every other year. Bear in mind that it would not be the same electoral districts electing an MP every other year. Electors would be going to the polls every fourth year unless they change the electoral district they live in.

Hogwash!

Some say it was an act of God. Others claim it was a political conspiracy.

Fair officials blamed it on a faulty latch.

Whatever the cause, it was exactly 12:17 p.m. on Wednesday, August 26, 1998, when no fewer than 11 full-sized, potentially prize-winning pigs escaped Livestock Barn B and stampeded straight toward the entrance to the Spring County Fair Pavilion.

Raymond Cooper, making a surprise live appearance at the fair to host “Renderings with Raymond,” was deeply engrossed in his opening monologue concerning the corruption of “so-called Mayor Dick Bland” and his “dirty” administration.

“I assure you,” Raymond shouted into his microphone while dozens of adoring fans looked on, “I am going to stand tall with the good folks of the Valley and clean up the mess that my alleged opponent has created!”

Then, bowing his head, his mouth almost touching the microphone, he continued, “And I want to express my humble gratitude to the Good Lord above, who has bestowed so many blessings upon my candidacy.”

The last thing anyone remembered hearing before the ensuing onslaught was Marvin Walsh shouting, “Amen!”

At least one observer later told Iris Long, editor of The Hometown News, it reminded her of a rushing flood.

Still others compared it to a scene from Braveheart, when Mel Gibson, playing the role of William Wallace – a 13th-century Scottish warrior who led the Scots in the First War of Scottish

Independence against King Edward – followed by a hoard of screaming warriors, attacked the British army with blazing precision.

Iris Long, on hand to photograph Mayor Bland greeting fair-goers as part of the opening festivities, could barely believe what she was seeing.

She seemed to be one of the few in the audience not surprised by Cooper’s appearance. It was just the type of thing she had come to expect from him.

In her five decades of journalistic experience, however, nothing had prepared her for what was taking place in front of her eyes.

As the crowd rushed away from the path of the charging swine, Raymond Cooper could scarcely believe his own eyes. As if in a trance, he stood frozen as the sows moved ever closer.

The swarming pigs seemed to take aim at Raymond, as if guided by some external force. Charging closer still, they moved directly toward Cooper, knocking him to the ground in their stampede.

Not one to let an opportunity such as this escape, Mayor Bland quickly rushed over to Raymond, who was covered in dirt and hoofprints.

Extending his hand to lift Cooper

from the ground, the mayor paused momentarily.

“I knew that my opponent was skilled in slinging mud,” Bland bellowed. “But I had no idea he was so adept at wallowing in it.”

Iris focused her trusty Nikon at the two men: Cooper, still barely rising off the ground, and Bland, smiling giddily as he lifted Raymond to his feet.

We rarely saw Raymond Cooper dumbstruck in 1998. For a moment, though, those reassembled stood in silence, wondering if their champion was uncharacteristically at a loss for words.

Finally steady on his feet, Raymond spoke words only he could devise at such a moment. “I find it mighty interesting that my opponent just happened to be so close when those pigs were released from their secured pens.”

Bland started to respond, but Cooper cut him off.

“I also find it peculiar,” looking toward Iris Long, “that the principal representative of the elite media just happens to be here as well.”

Iris could barely believe her ears.

He was doing it again. Raymond Cooper was going to convince his supporters this was planned all along by the powers and principalities aligned against him.

Turning to leave, Iris heard Beatrice Justice, standing behind her, mumble something.

“Matthew 7:6,” Beatrice said, then repeated, “Matthew 7:6.”

On the evening of Monday, June 18, approximately 160 members of Strathclair Credit Union gathered at the Shoal Lake Community Hall to cast deciding votes on the proposed merger with Sunrise Credit Union.

The members voted overwhelming in favor of amalgamation by a margin of 98 per cent. The official amalgamation date is Jan. 1, 2019.

“Sunrise was formed by the joining together of like-minded credit unions,” said Sunrise Credit Union Presdient and CEO, Tim Klassen. “Staying true to these roots, we’re very excited to welcome the members and employees of Strathclair Credit Union to the Sunrise Family and we look forward to sharing our market-leading products.”

“Becoming part of Sunrise Credit Union will allow us to increase and improve what we offer our membership and staff,” said Vern Gevers, GM for Strathclair Credit Union. “Also, Sunrise stuck out as an organization keen on retaining smaller branches and we felt like the two credit unions would be a good fit.”

1988: Turtle River Superintendent honoured at dinner

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

80 years ago Tuesday, June 21, 1938 How the prairie west has taken over the job of supplying its own petroleum needs is one of the most recent stories in national development and was told recently at a session of the Tariff Board.

F.G. G ot t le, C h ief Auditor of the Alberta Board of Public Utilities Commissioners, said that until last year the west was almost wholly dependent on Montana for its supply of crude oil. In 1938 nearly 3,500,000 barrels of oil were imported from Montana.

Turner Valley came in as an oil field and prairie ref i ner s d i scont i nued Montana purchases to an extent that by the end of 1937 they were taking less than 5 percent of Montana purchases.

In 1936 they had been taking more than half of it.

Today, practically the only Montana oil which enters western Canada comes in as refined products.

Readjustment to meet this sudden transformation was no small task. It called for construction of pipe lines, reduction in railway freight rates, expansion of ref ineries and other activities.

Producers in Turner Va l le y b enef it ted by t he en la rged ma rket.

Consumers over most of the prairie west benefitted by sharply reduced prices for light petroleum products.

O n t h i s y e a r ’s consumption of gasoline d i s t i l l at e, a nd ot her petroleum fuels, they will save at least $5,500,000.

70 years ago Thursday, June 24, 1948 Kelwood: Miss Bernice Hearn, Winnipeg, left last Friday evening for South Africa, where she will spend the next year in the exchange teaching plan.

Between April 1 and June 14, 1948, the Neepawa district had 3.10 inches of rainfall as compared with 1.69 inches in 1947 and the normal of 4.3 inches.

For the first time The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Band is making a tour of the western provinces on a recruiting drive. We had hoped that Neepawa would be included but as their schedule is planned, Clear Lake is the nearest

point at which residents of this district will have this opportunity of seeing and hearing this colorful group.

Elks Association at their 51st provincial convention held at Lundar on June 16 and 17.

60 years ago Friday, June 20, 1958 Edrans United Church was the scene of a pretty wedding Saturday, June 14 at 2:30 p.m. when Mary Margaret, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Wiebe of the Sinclairville district, became the bride o f N or m a n W i l l i a m McCullough, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. WM. McCullough of Edrans.

Nelson M. Shoemaker, 47 - y e a r - o l d L i b e r a l Prog ressive supporter, scored an easy victory in the Manitoba election.

Making his first bid in the provincial field, he piled up an 893-vote majority over his nearest competitor.

30 years ago Tuesday, June 21, 1988 A retirement dinner and dance was held Friday, June 3 at the McCreary Community Centre in honor of Steve Gingera, Superintendent of Schools.

Mr. Gingera has served the Turtle River School Division No.32 for 21 years as Superintendent, setting, it is believed, a record of longevity among superintendents in the prov ince, perhaps the nation. Steve served a total of 38 years in education.

Many came to wish him well for his impending retirement, among them r e pr e s e nt a t i v e s f r om Manitoba Association of School Business Officials, Man itoba A ssociat ion of School Trustees, the Manitoba Department of Education, and the Deputy Premier of Manitoba, Glen Cummings.

John Kastrukoff, former Superintendent of Susan Valley School Division No.35, Ed Levandoski, Principal, Frances Ross, former Secretary-Treasurer of Turtle River School Division and Eltie Pearce, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees in roasting Mr. Gingera guided the delightful audience down memor y lane, relating many hilarious stories from his colorful past.

The younger members of the Gingera family, daughters Dori, Donna, Lauri, and Carole and their escorts provided still further glimpses into the past with a brief and much appreciated slide presentation.

Presentation of gifts, some entertaining, alluding to Mr. Gingera’s love of f ishing; some to be treasured; and some to be enjoyed in the tranquil future, were made on behalf of the Board of Trustees, the Local Teacher’s Society, the Principals of Turtle River School Division, and of all guests present. The “Girls From the Lake” roasted “Steve” poetically and then presented him things to delight a fisherman.

A n n e G i n g e r a’s cont r ibut ion to her husband’s position was acknowledged by Yvette Leperre, board member, with a gift and warm words of appreciation. Steve’s mother, Helen Gingera from Dauphin and his niece and her husband,

50 years ago Friday, June 1, 1968 Residents of t he community were shocked this week to learn that the town’s major industry—the Canadian Salt Co. Ltd., plant— is to be closed down in about one year’s time.

The salt industry has been a major industry in Neepawa since 1932.

It took only slightly more than one-half hour after closing of polls in Manitoba before the electors were informed that the Liberals under Pierre Trudeau had been returned to power with the f irst majority government for Canada since 1962.

Mrs. Mary Swiskoski of Neepawa has a lucky streak going. Last Thursday, Mrs. Swiskoski shared in the $2,500 major prize in the season’s second Parko— just as she had done May 23 in the first Parko of the year.

40 years ago Thursday, June 22, 1978 Carol Barber and Carey Henton of J.M. Young School in Eden were among the 30 provincial winners of a Cross Canada trip on the recent “Explore Your Heritage” contest. Their project, which earned them their win, was entitled, “Birnie Settlement”.

Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hockin are pleased to announce the engagement of their children, Lorraine Marie and Barry Rae. The wedding will take place Saturday, July 15, 1978. C.M. Merv of Drayson was elected president of the Manitoba

Turtle River Superintendent Steve Gingera accepts a gift to honour his retirement at a dinner held in McCreary on June 3, 1988.

Karen and Rick Brad from Windsor, Ontario were present for the occasion.

Garry Smith, teacher at McCreary school, as Master of Ceremonies, presided with admirable aplomb and humour over t he for ma l it ies wh ich ended with the man being honored delivering “a few words” of his own. Mr. Gingera visibly moved by the affection and respect shown to him during the proceedings, expressed the thought that “if I had known that I was that good, I might never have quit.”

A ver y a mple a nd delicious dinner, catered

by Lourette Hendelbourck, preceded the formal part of the evening, and the dance, with lively music provided by the final part in the program, which was, despite the mid-summer heat, a most enjoyable event.

20 years ago Monday, June 22, 1998 The town will spend $110 over the next two years to maintain the gravesite of Lewis Hickman, who died when the ocean liner Titanic sank 87 years ago.

But the move, to cash in on the interest generated by the hit movie Titanic, didn’t meet w ith unanimous approval.

“I feel we’re pretty cheap when you have to ride to fame on the shirttails of some poor soul who happened to drown on the

Titanic,” said councillor Ken Hermiston. “It’s cheap and degrading.”

Councillor Bob Durston said he was less concerned about the money being spent to maintain the grave, than he was on the precedent it was setting.

“There are over 4,800 g raves and ever y one represents personal history in our area,” said Durston. “I’m really concer ned about t he precedent.”

“Once you do something, it never reverts back to where it used to be.”

Councillor Ron Forsman said he doubted looking after the Hickman grave for two years would set a precedent. The Riverside Cemetery is also home to world-renowned author Margaret Laurence , who was born and raised in Neepawa.

Her g rave is not maintained at her wish and that of her family.

Forsman said survivors of the Hickman family living in England aren’t averse to having tourists visit the grave, but don’t want to spring for perpetual care.

That costs around $600.

“Although we don’t want to use Neepawa cemetery to be a tourist attraction, if it’s low-key I have no problem with it,”said Forsman. “I’m in favor of doing anything to put Neepawa on the map.”

In addition to planting flowers on the Hickman g rave loca l H istor ian

C e c i l P it t m a n (w h o writes the Press’ Looking Back column) plans to map the location of wellknown graves at Riverside Cemetery one month after the sinking of the Titanic on April 5, 1912.

The name of Hickman’s brot her L eonard a lso appears on the grave, although his body was never recovered from the icy Atlantic.

10 years ago Monday, June 23, 2008 Mark Kerkowich of the Neepawa Tigers Track and Field team has been named the Tri-Star Rural High School athlete of the week.

At t he Prov incia l Rural Track and Field Championships in Dauphin, Kerkowich was a triple gold medalist as a member of the senior boy’s medley relay team , 4x400m and 4x100m with times of 3:53.33, 3:49.95 and 46.95 respectively.

T hen t he fol low ing weekend at MILK Track and Field Championships in Winnipeg, his senior boy’s relay team finished with a silver in the medley, bronze in the 4x400m and gold in the 4x100m, with times of 3:51.38, 3:46.82 and 46.06 respectively.

In his grade 12 year Kerkowich also maintains a 75 percent academic average, competes in golf, volleyball, baseball and hockey.

You and your health

advice for a healthier lifestyle

Exercise and aging

By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor

It is known that the most powerful thing a person can do to combat the effects of aging is to exercise. The increase of blood flow, muscle and bone growth, “good feeling” brain chemicals, and changes to your chromosomes all come from getting off the couch and getting active!

Here are a few reasons why you should exercise well into those “Golden Years”: Morbidity Your ability to move is the number one indicator for morbidity, or quality of life, while aging. Exercising regularly has been proven to help you age well but also live longer. By doing regular exercise, our life span on average is increased by five years.

A US study showed that if a person can stand, cross their feet, go down to the floor in a “scissor” style squat and get up again unassisted, that person has a longer life span than a

Benefits of Being Active “Sometimes the hardest lift of all is lifting your butt off the couch You won’t get the butt you want by sitting on it.”

MOVE WELL = LIVE WELL

person that needs to use one hand to get up, even better than a person that needs to use two hands, and much better than a person who can’t perform the exercise at all. The same correlation occurs when measuring balance.

Good balance equals a longer lifespan Trauma and Fractures Active seniors also live longer when they exercise because their risk of falls decreases dramatically.

A fractured hip carries

a 25 per cent mortality rate for most seniors!

This means there’s a one in four chance of dying within a year of breaking your hip. Exercise helps with balance, strength, and endurance, all of which help with fall prevention.

It also helps to keep the bones strong and less likely to break in the case of a trauma. Mineralization of the bones occurs more with strength training but any forms of activity such as walking, gardening, or yard work all keep your bones healthy.

Chromosomal changes Our cells are constantly replicating and with this process comes shortening of an area at the end of the chromosome, called the telomere area. The length of the telomere can be directly correlated to lifespan and along with proper sleep, diet, and stress reduction, exercise helps maintain these areas.

Exercise helps replenish the molecules that protect the telomere area and essentially slows down aging at the cellular level!

Risk of Age-Related Cancers Most types of cancer risk increases with age, but can be drastically reduced with exercise. According to the National Cancer Institute, by simply getting active 15 minutes a day, you can reduce your risk of colon cancer by 25-50 per cent!

You can also reduce your risk of breast cancer by 12 per cent or endometrial cancer by 20 per cent.

Get up and get active at least three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes. Often my senior population at the office

What does it take to support a good cause?

It Takes Guts Charity barrel racing returns to Neepawa

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press A charity rodeo event is once again saddling up to the Beautiful Plains Agricultural Fairgrounds in Neepawa.

The fifth annual It Takes Guts barrel races have been scheduled for Sunday, June 24.

The event, which has been spearheaded by Lori and Erin Cathcart, is in support of Crohn's and Colitis Canada.

Over the previous four years, the day has been able to raise just under $30,000. Erin, who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2012, said they devised the charity barrel race as a way to both generate financial support for the cause and to create a greater public awareness about the diseases.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are diseases that inflame the lining of a person’s gastro intestinal tract and disrupt their ability to digest food, absorb nutrients and eliminate waste in a healthy manner.

Lori Cathcart told the Banner & Press that this year’s race has already attracted some very strong support, as around 100 riders are expected to participate in this Manitoba Barrel Racing Association [MBRA] approved event.

“People have stepped forward which is very appreciated,” said Cathcart. “We’re very pleased with how the support for the event, both from riders and sponsors, have grown over the last five years.”

The format of the event will see each rider have one timed run. Depending on the times each rider gets, they’ll be split into four divisions, with the top racers from 2D, 3D and 4D receiving a championship belt buckle. Erin Cathcart noted that there will be a new addition to this year’s races, as a championship saddle will be presented to the overall winner. She thanked Neepawa Tire and G-6 Farms for sponsoring the saddle and said it’s the commitment of businesses like those that ensure It Takes Guts can continue to build momentum.

To go along with the barrel racing, It Takes Guts will also feature a draw table, 50/50 and concessions. The races will begin on Sunday, June 24 at 2:00 p.m. The event is free to the general public, who are invited to attend.

Neepawa Middle School

Since 2008, Beautiful Plains has seen an increase in enrolment and more specifically an increase in students in Neepawa schools.

In 2008, the enrolment was 760 students and in 2018 the two schools are nearing 1100 students. Portable classrooms were added at both HMK and NACI and grades were reconfigured to accommodate numbers in the existing spaces. In total 4 portables are at HMK and 5 are at NACI. Beautiful Plains applied to the Public Schools Finance Board for additional classroom space and in the summer of 2017 was awarded a major addition to NACI. This addition started in the spring of 2018 with a target completion date of September 2019.

While the addition is connected to NACI, it will be an autonomous middle school.

The only shared spaces will be the Industrial Arts and

Home Economics rooms, sports fields, bus loop and parking lots. The addition, officially named Neepawa Middle School, will be over 38000 square feet and accommodate up to 450 students in Grades 5-8. It will be two floors with 10 classrooms, a gymnasium, library, band room, art room and multipurpose room as well as office space, change rooms and bathrooms. This is in addition to the existing Grade 7/8 classrooms for a total of 20 classrooms. Also included in the government plan is a 6300 square foot stand-alone daycare. The daycare will be operated as a separate entity from an outside daycare provider.

While growth is exciting and positive, construction is always stressful. These growing pains will not only be felt by Beautiful Plains staff but the entire community as well. We will all need to

live through “division dust” and focus on the positive outcome – a brand new, contemporary learning space for our children and an extra

facility for community use.

There will be an opportunity for the public to view Neepawa Middle School’s plans in the fall of 2018.

Neepawa ready to help New display at Beautiful chip away at cancer Plains Museum is on point Charity golf tournament coming to NGCC

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The Canadian Cancer Society wants you to hit the greens in Neepawa for a quick round of golf. The organization, in partnership with the Neepawa Golf and Country Club [NGCC] has organized the Chipping Away at Cancer tournament for Friday, June 22. The event has been organized as a four-player scramble and will raise funds that will go towards cancer research. In total, 20 teams have committed to the fundraiser, which includes a round of golf and a dinner.

Canadian Cancer Society Fundraising coordinator Leann Bower said that while this is their first trip to the Neepawa Golf and Country Club, it’s not their

first time putting together a fundraiser like this.

“Five years ago, we put together a day in Boissevain.

That event, known as Funds for the Cure, was very well received. Then we partnered with Souris three years ago for Tee Off on Cancer and that’s been ongoing,” said Bower.

“This year, we’re expanding not only to Neepawa but also establishing events in Minnedosa and Killarney.

We’re very excited to be partner ing w ith these communities and their local courses in this manner.”

NGCC general manager/CPGA golf pro Landon Cameron said that they are looking forward to partnering with the Canadian Cancer Society on this important cause.

“Cancer is something

that, I think we have all dealt with on a personal level. Whether it’s through a family member or friend, who has been affected. It’s great to be able to support [the Canadian Cancer Society] in this manner and we’re looking forward to the day.”

Bower added t hat the Neepawa Golf and Country Club’s reputation as a premier course in the Westman region is well known and that they’re hoping this will be the start of a long-standing annual tradition.

C h i p pi n g Aw ay at Cancer will get underway on Friday, June 22 at 1:00 p.m at a cost of $85.00 per person. Each golfer will receive a $35.00 donation receipt from the Cancer Society.

Beautiful Plains Museum Neepawa Banner & Press

If you haven’t visited the Beautiful Plains Museum for a while, or at all, I strongly recommend you come in and check it out!

Here at the museum we are constantly putting out new artifacts for our visitors to look at. One of our newest displays is our Native Artifact display.

I n ou r d i s pl ay we have many spear points, arrowheads, dart points, and stone hammerheads t hat were made by Indigenous people living in this area many years ago. Back in 2016, these artifacts were identified and dated here at the museum by students from Brandon University. Our oldest artifact in this display is

the Clovis Spearpoint, which can be dated back to 10,500 to 12,000 years ago. To put that number into perspective, these t y pes of spear points are found on kill sites associated with mammoth remains! We also have two hammerheads that were found back in 1929 when a house was being excavated on the corner of Ellen Street and First Avenue here in Neepawa!

All of the artifacts in this display have had extensive time and skill put into them to perfect. When carving these projectile points, you had to be very precise with every chip because if you hit your rock the wrong way, it’d break and you’d have to start all over. By looking at the size of these projectile points you will

be able to conclude how much skill was needed to make these points. The Avonlea arrowheads have lengths starting at just 1.3 centimetres!

If you’re considering checking out our newest display, along with the rest of the museum, we are open Monday to Friday from 9:00a.m.-5:00 for the rest of June and starting in July we are open Monday to Saturday 9:00-5:00 and 1:00-5:00 on Sundays and stat holidays.

Cathcart steps down as Natives GM

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Over the past 29 years, there aren’t many roles Myles Cathcart hasn’t filled for the Neepawa Natives Junior “A” Hockey Club.

From player to trainer; assistant coach to driving the bus and everything you could possibly imagine in between, Cathcart has likely done the job. But as the club moves into its 30th year, he’ll be in a very unfamiliar role; that of just a spectator, as he has announced he has stepped down as the team’s general manager effective immediately.

On Friday, June 15, the board for the MJHL club confirmed that Myles Cathcart, who has served as the team’s G.M. for the past seven years, had submitted his letter of resignation.

The board accepted the letter and request. In their official statement to the media, the club stated that it had accepted the letter and request and that they would immediately begin the search for an interim general manager.

Team president Ken Waddell thanked Cathcart for his years of commitment to the organization.

“There is nobody in the organization that has probably done more for the hockey team in many different roles than Myles Cathcart. The board recognizes that and thanks him for it,” Waddell said. “[The board] is hopeful that very shortly we’ll have a general manager and then we’ll be evaluating at what levels we can find someone to fill the many roles that Myles had. The search has already begun.”

A difference in philosophy In an interview with the Banner & Press regarding his decision to step down, Cathcart said that there is nothing out of the ordinary regarding the move, as it’s simply related to a difference of opinion on the direction of the club moving forward.

“The team has implemented a transportation fee for the upcoming season for the players to pay. I am not in favour of it and I have

Neepawa Natives implement travel fee

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press The board of directors for the Neepawa Natives has approved the implementation of a new travel fee for the 2018-2019 MJHL season. In a media release discussing the decision, the board indicated that the $1,600 fee will be used to help cover bus costs, road meals and motel accommodation when it is needed.

Late in the 2017-2018 season, the team’s bus, which has dealt with mechanical issues in the past, broke down to the point where repairing it was not cost-effective to the organization. For the upcoming season, the team will have to use a charter bus service. Team president Ken Waddell noted that this was a difficult decision to make.

“After much agonizing and consideration, [The board] voted to implement a travel fee of $267 per month per player for six months,” stated Waddell.

“We realize this will impact players and families, but many Canadian junior teams charge a fee and the board feels a transportation fee is the fairest to all concerned.”

Waddell said that most of the players and their families have been informed of the travel fee and the reasoning behind the making of this decision. Waddell said that the responses varied.

“We have tried to contact all the players and the parents, as many as we can to explain the reasoning behind what we’re doing. There was a whole range of reaction. Some said ‘It’s been a long time coming.

We’re in’, while others indicated that they didn’t look forward to paying more, but were in. Whatever is best for the team. While some said they’re done paying and would be exploring their options. We figured there would be the whole range [of reactions], it’s the way it is,” said Waddell.

Moving forward, Waddell indicated that the board and the staff for the team have still received a good response to their upcoming summer evaluation camp, set for Brandon in July. He also remained confident they will be able to ice a competitive team for this upcoming season.

The Neepawa Natives have lost money four of the last five years, with costs outpacing income by an average of $18,000 per year. Several other teams in the MJHL are believed to be in similar situations.

Waddell said that like it or not, this new structure is an option that other teams and other leagues are reviewing.

“Long-term my bigger concern is how quickly the other leagues and other parts of the leagues are going to adopt this. We’re now three of 11 teams in the MJHL that have a fee of some sort in the MJHL. There are several [teams] considering it in Saskatchewan and also in Alberta. At least one team in Saskatchewan is implementing it. There’s already a league-wide fee albeit smaller than this one, in B.C. In the Ontario leagues, there’s already league-wide fees and some of them are hugely higher than our fee. It’s a coming thing. The business model has changed. Some of the money for the teams is going to have to come from the players, the same as it does from AAA bantam and AAA midget.”

It’s believed that two other franchise [Winnipeg and Selkirk] in the MJHL have previously established a player fee. In 2017, the MJHL implemented a player development fee of $500 to help aid teams along with going to promote the players through the league’s annual showcase and an enhanced dental plan.

Pirates plunder in Neepawa

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The recent road woes suffered by the Neepawa Cubs have followed them home as the team lost to the Plumas Pirates on Friday, June 15, by the score of 5-1.

A stellar effort by Plumas pitcher Zac Yandeau propelled his team to victory.

Yandeau accumulated ten strikes outs the course of 4 and 2/3rd innings, against just two hits and a pair of walks. His impressive effort on the mound was cut short, however, after his pitching hand was hit with a line drive in the bottom of the fifth.

Neepawa pitcher Devin Tibbett had a solid night on the mound, but was still tagged with the loss.

Tibbett gave up just three earned runs, off of five hits and added five strikeouts.

Though TIbbett officially took the L, the defeat was a team effort, as the Cubs

registered four errors over the course of the night.

They also left nine runners on base over the course of seven innings, including loaded bases in the bottom of the sixth.

This most recent loss is Neepawa’s fifth in a row and has dropped their record to 2-7-0 on the season. Plumas,

meanwhile, improved to 6-2-0 on the year. That puts them in second place in the league, a game and a half back of the Portage Padres (8-1-0) Mavs drop pair The Minnedosa Mavericks recently came out on the losing end of a pair of

games. First, the Carberry Royals (6-3-0) defeated Minnedosa 7-5 on Wednesday, June 13. Then on Friday, June 15, the Mavericks dropped a 6-5 decision to Portage. These two losses dropped Minnedosa’s overall record to 5-3-0.

he built Mom their 2nd new home. But missing his family tremendously, and having to conform to very strict rules and boundaries, he had had enough and moved the family back to Manitoba in May of 1980.

He bought a couple acres close to Grunthal where we only lived for a short time before moving to Plumas. Having to start with nothing, again, was very difficult, with interest rates up to 24%. They started with a concrete plant, dairy, and grain farm but after only a few years, and they sold their dairy and continued with cement and grain farming.

Dad enjoyed going for coffee at the local coffee shop. He also enjoyed golfing, a sport that he took up in the 1990’s when his concrete rep took him out and he was hooked. It gave him something to do besides work. Sundays were for church, and visiting as well. He would drive to MacGregor Sommerfeld Church, an hour one way, no matter what the weather was.

He built his 4th new house in Austin for their retirement.

We moved them in July 2015. He had a great workshop he puttered in, enjoyed gardening and puzzled endlessly, making frames for the finished ones. He enjoyed being needed and doing projects.

In 2005 Dad & Mom started to go to Texas. The only year they did not go south was the winter he had his second heart attack. His first one was in March of 2006, which he recovered well from with only 1 stent; but after his second heart attack in November of 2016 he received another 4 stents, and he never fully recovered.

Dad & Mom had 7 children, Mary (Peter), Barb (Cornie), Willie (Diane), Henry (Lynn), Elizabeth, Annabelle and Jake (Melinda); 25 grandchildren, Susan, Darlene, Jason, Steven, Kristine, Cassandra, Melissa, Angela, Joe, Greg, Ryan, Ronald, Rachel, Brady, Lori, Anisa, Dylan, Austin, Joshua, Keira, Caleb, Brooke, Keziah, Emily, and Alexie, along with their spouses as well as 26 great grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his parents; parents-in-law; 1 sister; 2 brothers; 2 brothers-in-law; 2 sisters-in-law. He is survived by 5 brothers, 3 sisters and their families. Dad was 77 years old, 7 months, 12 days.

He reminded all of us that he prayed for each of us every day. He shared his faith with anyone who would be willing to listen – or not. He had a very difficult time reading but would insist on reading scripture for himself daily. We as a family feel blessed to have had a dad like we did. He showed us the importance of loving the Lord, loving your spouse, and loving your family. He also taught us the value of hard work.

We would like to thank all of you for your prayers, for the food brought to Mom’s, encouraging words, the Ladies Aid for serving the lunch, Carberry EMS, the RCMP, the church caretakers, to Clarke’s for their care and consideration to the family, the ministerial, as well as Darlene, Kristine and Rachel for the powerpoint and for all the friends and family that took the time to come and support us.

Obituary William B. Reimer (Dad) passed away peacefully on June 14, 2018 during the afternoon at approximately 1:45.

Dad was born to Jacob and Anna Reimer (nee Buhler) November 2, 1940 at Stuartburn, Manitoba. He was the sixth child in a family of 12.

He was baptized for his faith in 1961 in the Rhineland Mennonite Church.

He was raised on a dairy farm west of Roseau River, Manitoba. He prided himself on being a farmer; however, he enjoyed putting his family to work on the farm. We don’t think he actually liked farming, but felt that is what he had to do. What he really enjoyed was concrete and building.

In 1960 knowing that Mr. Martens would be preaching that morning, and there was a good possibility that his daughter Mary would be with him, EVEN though he didn’t have any teeth in his mouth, he went to check out the preacher’s daughter. Following that, upon the advice of her mother, Mary Martens went on a date with Bill, and on June 18, 1961, they married. He came to the church on his wedding day, with borrowed money in his pocket, driving his ’52 Chevy pickup truck and a homemade camper on the back.

The camper wasn’t tight enough and by the time he got to Rosenfeld, it had flown off, ending up on the road, wedding suit included. Their Honeymoon Suite! It had nothing to do with speed, I’m sure!

They were married in the Rhineland Mennonite church in Altona by Rev John Neufeld, because Dad knew that he wouldn’t take so long and he had never married anyone before (nor after). Following their one-week honeymoon in British Columbia, they moved just west of Roseau River, 2 miles west of Dad’s parents.

Only 11 months after being married, their first daughter, Mary, was born. A short 11 months later, daughter Barb was born. Dad then bought a dairy farm that included a large hip roof barn and a log house, full of mice and no plumbing.

While living in that house they had 2 sons, William & Henry.

The ‘60s were a stellar decade for dad. He LOVED building with his brothers, Jake & John. They built many barns and elevators - business was booming. In 1969, shortly after having their 5th child, a daughter, Elizabeth, they moved into their first new house that Dad built. It included a full indoor bathroom and a laundry room! In ‘69, he was able to buy his first new pick-up and a Buick Stationwagon.

The 1970’s were also very good for business. In 1972 dad’s brother Dave and his family, joined Dad and Mom at Roseau River. They had a redi-mix plant, grain farm, hens, a few cows, and a lot of pigs. They had another daughter, Annabelle in 1973 and a son, Jake, in 1975.

In 1977 he decided to take the entire family to Bolivia for an extended vacation. In 1979, having packed 5 large crates, he took his family on a plane and moved to Bolivia where

Johnny could be found cutting grass, shovelling snow and helping people in anyway he could. He was a very honest, loving and caring person.

He loved all animals especially horses and he always wore his western wear. Johnny always looked forward to the rodeo. He loved to joke with people and play tricks on them.

Johnny loved music especially playing the fiddle. He played very well considering he never took any lessons.

He was predeceased by his parents; his father Steve in 1996 and his mother Katie in 2005.

Johnny will be forever remembered and missed by his loving sisters Beverley (Garry) Barker and Ella (Larry) Muzyka as well as his nieces and nephews.

Prayers were offered on Thursday, June 14, 2018 at 7:00 pm in the Sneath-Strilchuk- McCreary Chapel.

On what turned out to be a blistering weekend weather wise, from July 7-9 the Provincial High School Track and Field Championships matched the weather with equally as scorching results on the track. Alonsa School sent seven athletes to this year’s event and four of those athletes finished with top 10 performances.

The track teams results were highlighted by a gold medal record breaking performance by Brooklyn Knaggs in the Pentathlon. The grade twelve students’ 2561 points shattered her existing provincial record of 2378. Despite battling a bulging disc injury that required a cortisone shot in the spine as recently as a month ago and possible surgery to follow, Knaggs blazed through her events and took the Varsity Girls pentathlon title for the second straight year.

Madeline Boonstra of Stonewall was a distant second with 2376 points.

Knaggs’ results in all of the events (shot put, 100m, 800m, high jump, and long jump) were impressive enough that she would have placed in the top 10 in each of the stand alone events had she been registered in them. In fact her personal best 4.93 long jump would have challenged for a medal. Joining Knaggs in the pentathlon was teammate Hannah Brown, who finished with an impressive 10th place finish. Both Knaggs and Brown support above 90 per cent academic averages and will be attending the University of Manitoba and both were approached by several of the University of Manitoba Athletics coaching staff with opportunities to join the U of M track team next season.

First year junior varsity pentathlon competitor, Hannah Dayholos (grade nine) finished her foray into the event with a seventh place assigning. Her jumps and runs had her in fourth place heading into the final event of the pent (800m). Former tetrathlon bronze medalist, Tyson Fiddler was forced out of the multi-event due to ongoing injuries but began training in the throws some three weeks ago.

His efforts landed him in third spot in the javelin after the preliminaries and a chance to medal in the final. Fiddler remained in the bronze spot right up until the last 3 throws of the competition. Unfortunately Fiddler slipped to a respectable 6th by the end of the competition.

By the end of the weekend, the Alonsa Track Team had garnered 23 aggregate points, enough to secure a fourth place finish amongst the 83 A category schools and more points than many AA, AAA, and AAAA schools. Alonsa School has a high school population of 38.

Christ Lutheran Church holds picnic and service at Riverbend Park

By Jean Borchardt Submitted

Sunday, June 10, was a day for celebration for Christ Lutheran in Neepawa with the Sunday Morning Service and Sunday School Picnic planned at Neepawa’s Riverbend Park. Pastor Will Rose welcomed everyone to the service. Organist for the day was Judy Gabler, who so graciously brought her electric organ to enhance the service. The sermon theme, The Unforgivable Sin was based on Mark 3:20-35, a passage where some people accused Jesus of working with the devil, not God the Father. Jesus warned them and all about

this sin. Thankfully God in His mercy forgives us our sins through the work of His Son. We all have many sins that we’ve committed but we know that God knows all of our sins and yet still forgives us. He invites us to witness to family and friends and family and encourage them in the faith at every opportunity.

At the end of the service, Pastor Rose asked if there were any announcements and it was brought to the attention of everyone present by Walter and Dorothy Mauthe, that 45 years ago, on June 10, 1973, Christ Lutheran Church became organized. The pastor at the time was Rev. Mel Wolters, along with his

wife Elaine. The Wolters are now retired and live in the U.S. and the Mauthes are the only original members still present to bring this to our attention. The rest of the founding congregation have gone to be with their Heavenly Father. Sunday was also Sarah Rose’s birthday and was celebrated by singing Happy Birthday.

Following the service, the children, led by Carol Buffi and Lori McMillan played games to play. The older children were rushing around playing Bible Geocache. A big picnic BBQ was served. The ladies group at Christ Lutheran is called the Lutheran Women's Missionary League and someone

interpreted that to say that LWML stands for "Lutheran Women Make Lunch," and that was sure true on Sunday.

Some guests joined the congregation to enjoy the food and fellowship and even a passerby smelled the ham-

burgers cooking and came and joined us. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Real Estate

Create a sale-worthy showplace

Metro Creative Connection Submitted

The sentiment “don’t judge a book by its cover” can be applied to many situations. When it comes to selling their homes, homeowners should remember this adage as they prepare their homes for prospective buyers.

Statista indicates that there were 560,000 houses sold in the United States in 2016. The Canadian Real Estate Association said a record 536,118 residential properties changed hands in 2016, marking a 6.3 percent increase from 2015.

Homeowners who want to make their properties stand out can take the following steps.

De-personalize the home.

Homeowners fill their spaces with family photos, heirlooms, personal interests, and other conversation pieces.

Prospective buyers may not be able to see past personal belongings and may even be distracted by them. For example, buyers who have strong beliefs about animal welfare may not buy a home displaying hunting trophies.

Remove personalized items where possible, replacing them with generic items.

Improve the exterior.

HGTV says that curb appeal is crucial to making a strong first impression. A messy or lackluster landscape can turn buyers away even before they reach the front

door. Mow the lawn and make sure shrubbery has been trimmed. Seasonal potted flowers and plants can help make the house look polished. Repair cracks or damaged walkways, and consider a fresh coat of paint on trim around windows and doors. Pressure-wash siding if necessary.

Put things in storage.

Rent a storage unit to house items that can make a home appear cluttered. Clean out closets and cabinets, so that when buyers “snoop” during appointments or open houses they see orderly storage areas. If closets are brimming with stuff, buyers may assume the house doesn’t have enough storage space and move on.

Make it light and bright.

Open up all of the drapes and blinds, and turn on overhead lights so the house is well-lit. Add table lamps or other fixtures to especially dim rooms.

Create a hotel experience.

Forbes suggests making bathrooms look like a spa.

Stack a few pretty washcloths tied with ribbon, add some scented candles and faux plants and buy bathmats and towels in coordinating tones.

Remove extraneous items from kitchen counters and replace them with vases of flowers. In addition, set up dining spaces as if one were sitting down to a meal, and ensure appliances are sparkling clean.

PHOTO PROPERTY OF METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

Use common ‘scents’.

Skip the fish, bacon or other aromatic meals for a few days, as such foods can leave lingering aromas. Baked goods, vanilla and cinnamon might make for more appealing scents.

Making a home sell fast involves preparation and the knowledge that buyers are often greatly influenced by their first impressions.

“Seeds of Empathy” at Neepawa Nursery School

PHOTO BY CHRIS WADDELL

At eight days of age, Kardy Smith (inset) had to be the youngest in the Memory Walk at Country Meadow PCH on Thursday, June 14. Kardy’s siblings (Above picture) have carried the Alzheimer banner to lead the walk for five years. When the walk was complete and time for entertainment they then were happy to join Mom, Grandma and baby. Mom shared her photo of her helpers leading the parade. As for the event itself, $135 was raised from the Memory Walk.

Letter to the editor

Continued from page 5 That would ensure continuity of parliamentary operations while ensuring we would have a continual turnover of new faces, ideas and ideals. Political parties would be more inclined to communicate with electors rather than spend an entire election campaign disparaging their opponents.

Electors would have the opportunity to change the face of parliament every other year. As elected seats change, a majority government could become a minority, or a new majority could result. We would not feel we are ‘stuck’ with results for a four-year term.

The second step would be to invoke term limits of two four-year terms or eight years.

A person could sit out for a four-year term and run for election again.

The third step would be to replace MP pensions with service severance pay. If an MP is defeated, or has reached a term limit, he or she would be entitled to one month of salary for each year or part thereof served.

Aspirations of a career in politics would end unless you consider eight years to be a career.

The fourth step is to reduce election spending limits by 40% and split the balance between elections. One half of the reduced sum spent every fourth year would be spent every other year. The amount of public subsidy for party election costs is obscene.

The fifth step is to prohibit negative election advertising. Advertisements demeaning and disparaging the opposition are useless. It is standard fare during

‘question period’, but there is no excuse for dragging that uncouth lack of civility and decorum into general elections. We have the option to turn the TV off; we need to stop negative ads.

The sixth step is to require all third parties engaged in political activities to register with Elections Canada and produce audited financial statements annually. In addition, third parties: would be prohibited from receiving donations and funding from outside Canada; would have to disclose the salaries of all people engaged in political activity; and would be prohibited from advertising and activity during the writ period.

The seventh step is to reconfigure the senate into four non-political divisions, one for each constitutional division; East, Ontario, Quebec and West.

Eliminate all political positions; Each division would have a Leader elected from within that division; All senators would elect a Speaker; Equal debate time would be allotted to each division; Committees would have equal representation from each division.

We need the senate to be non-partisan representing all of Canada and ensuring that legislation is equitable and fair to all divisions.

John Feldsted Political Consultant & Strategist Winnipeg, Manitoba

We had a wonderful year with our “Seeds of Empathy” baby Lila Rose at Neepawa Nursery School. Baby Lila is the daughter of Sarah and Andrew Cowan, The Seeds of Empathy program is a preschool version of the Roots of Empathy program which teaches chil-

dren about empathy and the growth and development of children. The students learn about feelings, communication, safety and development. The Nursery School children enjoyed watching our baby grow and change each month throughout the school year. Thank you to teacher Susan Paluch and facilitators Sheila Bremner and Elaine Moffat.
