Hamilton Street facelift Pump barrier damaged makes for smooth ride at Neepawa Esso

PHOTOS BY EOIN DEVEREUX

It’s all smooth driving now on the section of Hamilton Street pictured above and below. Crews were making the final passes on the ashphalt last week (pictured above) and have since finished the paving process. An alternate view is pictured below.

This project was originally bumped to 2025, but an opening in the paving company’s scheduling and the favourable late-October weather allowed for the project to move forward.

On the morning of Thursday, Oct. 31, there was an incident at the combination Tim Hortons/7Eleven/Esso in which a truck backed into the side barrier of a pump. The side barrier was damaged and no injuries were reported in the accident.

Pic tured above: The scene shortly after the incident.

Pictured right: A close up of the damage that was sustained. One of the posts (at right), along with the side barrier for the pump were knocked askew. Some red chips from the side barrier can be seen gathered up on the cement beside the pump proper, just to the right of the post and barrier.

RCMP investigating multiple grandparent scams Submitted Manitoba RCMP On Oct. 30, Portage la Prairie RCMP received two reports of senior citizens within the community being defrauded of money after receiving a call from an individual claiming to be a lawyer.

One resident from Portage la Prairie and one from MacGregor, both stated the unknown male caller was claiming to be a lawyer for their grandchild. In both cases, the suspect would provide the victim with the grandchild’s name, indicating that they were in jail and needed money for bail.

Both victims agreed to

provide money to the suspect.

The incident in Portage la Prairie saw the suspect come to the house of the senior to retrieve the money. The incident in MacGregor had the suspect meet the senior at a location on Hampton Street.

Prior to these incidents, on Oct. 29, calls of a very similar nature were also reported to have occurred in Minnedosa and Kleefeld. In both cases, the victims gave the suspect a significant amount of money.

A similar incident occurred on Oct. 24 in East St. Paul.

It is unknown at this time if all cases are directly related and the investigation continues.

“These incidents are extremely concerning to the Manitoba RCMP. The criminals are using information obtained through various means, such as social media, to deceive and steal significant amounts of money from senior citizens. The fact that they are showing up at homes and even driving with the victims speaks to their ever-increasing confidence in carrying-out these scams,” Cst. Larry Neufeld of the Portage La Prairie detachment. “These criminals play on the emotions of seniors and their willingness to help a family member in need.

The RCMP would like to remind the public that they should never give money to

unknown individuals and to immediately report crimes of this nature to their nearest RCMP detachment.”

Grandparent Scamp Tips from the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre How to protect yourself •If you receive a phone call claiming to be from a family member in an emergency situation, hang up the phone and contact them directly using a phone number you already have – not one provided by the suspected fraudster.

•If the caller claims to be a law enforcement official, hang up and call your local police directly, using a phone

number from a reputable source – not one provided by the suspected fraudster •Be suspicious of telephone calls that require you to immediately act and request money for a family member in distress •Listen to that inner voice that is screaming at you “This doesn’t sound right” •It is important to know the Canadian Criminal Justice System does not allow for someone to be bailed out of jail with cash or cryptocurrency •Be careful what you post online •Scammers can get details that you shared on social media platforms and dating sites to target you or get

names and details about your loved ones •Don’t trust caller ID names and numbers.

•Scammers use technology to disguise the actual number they are calling from and can make it appear as a trusted phone number, also known as spoofing If anyone has any information about any crime, please contact your local RCMP detachment. Anonymous tips can also be made through Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or by visiting www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.

Victims of Cybercrime or Fraud, can also contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Remembrance Day 2024 Editors Note: This is a guest column, written by Marie Curtis from Victoria, BC. Marie is the daughter of a Dutch war bride, her father being one of the soldiers during the liberation of Holland.

O Falling short, hollow promises

I

t has been said that the best prediction of future actions can be seen in past actions.

When it comes to Manitoba health and the Prairie Mountain Health and Manitoba Health, it can easily be said that health care in Manitoba is fairly good but it certainly isn’t time sensitive except in cases of emergency. Obviously, traffic accidents get fairly immediate attention, heart attacks and serious illnesses rank fairly high on the care and attention scale. But when it comes to long term care, elective surgery, hip and knee replacements, both PMH and MH fall down the hill pretty badly.

There is great optimism around the new hospitals at Portage La Prairie and Neepawa. But there are problems on the horizon for both facilities. Recently, we carried an article about the reluctance, no the refusal, by Manitoba Health to put an MRI into Portage hospital.

Also recently, Neepawa found out that while there is space for a CT scanner at the new hospital they don’t plan to install one. Not enough need, not enough technicians and a lot of blah,blah,blah.

Manitoba Health needs to give their head a major shake. CT scans in Manitoba are behind by 35 weeks.

Yes, you read that right, 35 weeks.

If you want a CT scan, you can go to Alberta and buy one and get it in a week, if you go to North Dakota, it might be even sooner.Those stats scream loud and clear that Manitoba Heatlh is verging on insanity.

I got thinking about this CT scan delay and then I was reminded that Neepawa Hospital is supposed to have 75 beds, but at a public meeting it was stated that only 30 would be used initially. Isn’t that great news?

Thirty beds is five less than we have neepawa

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell Editor Ken Waddell

Right in the Centre Ken Waddell now but there is a promise that 70 will be set up in the future.Thirty beds is less than we have now and Neepawa is expected to elevate its performance from a district hospital to a regional one.

I personally have a long history with PMH and Manitoba Health and their promises. In 1999, I was Mayor of Neepawa when a new care home was promised to replace the 120 bed East View Lodge. Instead we got 100 beds and somehow 100 beds is supposed to serve the area needs when Neepawa has grown from 3,200 people to 6,000. Makes good sense, right? I was personally promised that as soon as East View Lodge wheeled the last resident down the ramp, the Town would be handed the keys. The plan was for EVL to be turned into public housing. Manitoba Health piddled around and let the building slide into ruin until it was too late to renovate it. Now all Neepawa has is a bare lot where we once had a building that could have had 50 suites. A building by the way that the local residents and taxpayers paid for in the 1960s and 70s. Broken promises on the number of beds, the shrunk version of the care home don’t make me feel very good about the proposed 30 beds statement.

It’s all about the money and political dogma. Manitoba has the idea that we are always short of money

and God forbid that we allow any private investment or expenditure invest in the public good. There are people in both Neepawa and Portage catchment areas who would be willing to invest in a CT scanner or an MRI. People are also willing to pay for part of medical care; it happens all the time for some services in Manitoba, but not others.

Without a major shake-up in health care, Manitoba will never catch up. We are short 345 doctors in Manitoba to reach the national average of doctors per 100,000 people.

Without substantially increasing the number of graduating doctors we will always be behind. And I say Manitoba graduates as we should not be “stealing” doctors from other countries or other provinces.

I have been around long enough and around politicians long enough that I am sick of half-hearted promises. Lots of good things happening in health care but it’s simply not enough and “not enough” make no sense. We need more than empty promises.

n Remembrance Day we might take a few moments to appreciate our freedom from war, and the peace we mostly take for granted. We might pray for peace in the Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, the Sudan and other war-torn lands and conflicts.

A few years ago, Mom and I got lost on our way to my nephew’s wedding in Vancouver. We stopped in front of a house where a gentleman was raking leaves and asked him for directions.

Quickly we all realized that both he and Mom shared a Dutch accent and were close to the same age. He asked, “Do you remember during the war when we did not know in the morning if we would be alive in the evening?” referring to the second world war in the Netherlands. Mom said, “Yes.” His voice and statement continue to echo in my mind.

When the second world war broke out, my father, Papa, was too old to be drafted into the Canadian military. One day in June, 1941, near Wawanesa, MB, Papa was walking behind a team of six horses walking abreast: ploughing one mile up the field, resting the team, ploughing one mile down the field, resting the team, all in a day’s work. On that particular day, as he rested with the horses, he realized that he knew that he had been doing the same job at the same time in the prior year, and would be doing the same job at the same time in the next year.

Within a week Papa took the train from Wawanesa to Winnipeg and signed up to serve with the Lord Strathcona Horse’s, B Squadron, Second Armoured Regiment. Papa was transferred to Camp Borden, Ontario, then sailed from Halifax to Britain. Most of the military and mechanical training occurred in Aldershot before his regiment’s transfer by ship to North Africa. There he swam in the Mediterranean Sea, and was amazed at its warmth, a miracle to him. His regiment crossed over to the south end of Italy, and the soldiers and tanks worked their way north in Italy, through France, Belgium and into the Netherlands. Papa said that, often as he slipped into his canvas tent at night, summer and winter, the bombs would be flying “in both directions.”

In April 1945 the Lord Strathcona Horses’ soldiers began the liberation of the Netherlands. For the Canadian forces entering the Dutch countryside, “ … our progress was impeded by cheering Dutch farmers and their families, waving, blowing kisses and offering eggs and milk.” 1: On 4th May 1945, there was an unconditional surrender by the Nazis for the Netherlands. On 2 June 1945, the war ration card for The Hague, Netherlands said, “Irish Stew”. My Dutch grandparents could not make sense of the term. Mom spoke the best English in their household and was told, “Go across the street and ask that Canadian soldier what ‘Irish Stew’ means.” Papa was the Canadian soldier across the street.

He explained to Mom what Irish Stew was. Papa always ended his telling of this story with, “And I’ve been in the stew ever since.”

Gladstone cattle More than just names market report

I

t was the first November 11 after COVID restrictions were put in place. All community Remembrance Day services were cancelled. People were encouraged to pause at 11 a.m. (or at some other time during the day if 11 a.m. was not feasible) to remember those whose lives were lost on the battlefields of the world.

What I remember most about that day was its weather-cold and windy.

I waited until noon and then dressed warmly and walked from my house to the cenotaph in front of the Neepawa County Court building. There I held a Remembrance Day service. I was the only one present. I stood silently for two minutes and then said a short prayer. It was all I could do at that time.

Before leaving for home, I spent a few minutes walking around the memorial and reading the lists of names engraved on it. I recognized a few of them.

But I wondered about some of the others. Who were they? Did they live in town or on a farm? Were they drafted or did they sign

Faithfully Yours

Neil Strohschein up voluntarily? Where did they serve, etc.

Three years ago, my wife and I joined friends from another community for their service of remembrance. We listened as they read two lists of deceased veterans. The first list is rather short. It contains the names of those who were killed in action while f ighting in a war. The second list is longer. It contains the names of those who, after returning from war, devoted their time and energy to helping build their community.

This was the first time I had seen such a gesture of respect; and I hope to see it many more times.

To an outsider or casual observer, what I’ve just described may not seem all that significant. But those who hear these names read out each year would not agree. Yes, it is true that

they served in Canada’s armed forces during a time of war. It is also true that while many went overseas, others were on active duty here at home.

Some were deployed as guards in Prisoner Of War camps. Some were assigned to various duties at military bases. Others were just about to complete their basic training when World War II ended.

But before long, many of them were on their way to Korea.

Those who were discharged returned homesome to families who were waiting for them-the rest eager to settle down, start families of their own and continue the f ight for peace by building strong, peace-loving communities here in Canada.

T he y b ou ght l a nd , established far ms and opened businesses. They

worked together to build schools, community and Legion halls, churches, skating and curling rinks, and parks with baseball diamonds, soccer f ields and camping spots. Once built, they set aside additional money and donated volunteer hours to maintain what they had built.

Their faithful support of other’s local businesses helped build strong local economies.

You and I may never have met these pioneers.

But the facilities they built are still with us. And this Monday, as we remember their services to our communities, we will gather in facilities that they built, maintained and passed on to us.

These dedicated people gave their time, talent and treasure to serve their country and their community. They are more than just names written on a piece of paper or engraved into the face of a war memorial. They are worthy of honor and respect every day of the year-not just on Remembrance Day.

Learning from mistakes covered by grace

I

recently celebrated my birthday and was celebrated with words, gifts and much love by my family and friends.

I also found myself, with a bit of surprise, having to count backwards to my birth year to confirm what my age was.

Now in the grand scheme of things, I am aware I am not ‘old’ and most times I don’t even ‘feel’ my age, but sometimes I find myself in a ref lective state, looking back and thinking of how the years seem to have f lown by and even ten years ago feels like a lifetime ago.

Letting myself go down the rabbit hole of thought that says how did I get to this point, my life is passing me by, reliving the mistakes I’ve made and the things I would have done differently knowing what I know now. Longing and wishing for more time to redo the things I’ve

Faith & Family Tara Kauenhofen

already done.

This downward spiral sends me then reeling forward through time, Imagining in my minds eye what the future years ahead of me might hold and how quickly it will f ly by.

Now I recognize that these moments of panic and ‘what if’s’ don’t really help me be a better parent, wife, friend etc.

Learning to look back In fact, when I find that I’ve allowed myself to spiral down this pathway, I f ind my focus pulled away from growth and into

mistake focused thinking and I find myself afraid.

But what I’m learning, is that I need grace given by self as much if not more than the grace I extend to those around me.

Grace for the mistakes I’ve made, and remembering to look at them as a learning tool for next time and changing.

I’m learning to look back and instead of being a part of the statistic that says for every good thing that happens we remember 5 bad ones, train my brain to recount the GOOD, the BEAUTIFUL and the WONDERFUL things in my life, the

times I succeeded!

Doing this brings me back from the edge of defeat, from self sabotage and into the light of who God created me to be.

A woman, a mother, a wife, a friend, a planner, a worshipper, a teacher, a student, a joy bringer, a community builder, a unique and wonderfully made child of the one true God. My encouragement for you today is to stop in this moment, close your eyes and if you can see your mistakes on a film reel in your mind, start today to course correct and see yourself the way God created you.

Beautifully and wonderfully made, with unique and important giftings, a bearer of God’s image, a parent, a friend, a child, a spouse and so many more things.

By Tyler Slawinski Gladstone Auction Howdy cattle producers, This is Tyler Slawinski reporting from the Gladstone Auction Mart for Tuesday Nov. 5.

Cattle prices are still very good, in fact excellent if you are lucky enough to be selling! Every week normal trends would have us thinking the market is going to correct itself it seems to pick up steam and get slightly stronger then the previous week! We had a barn full and sold 1668 head of cattle through the ring in Gladstone Manitoba yesterday!

The market this week was very active once again, the cattle futures seemed to have started out green and stronger to start the trade during the sale, but the quality and the additional orders that we saw kept the market climbing higher through out the sale!

Most areas of trade were stronger, some additional orders drove certain areas of the market higher. A high percentage of the feeder cattle we traded today were between 5-700lbs, and seemingly those were the weights that were in high demand today! The market is very strong, and there are an abundance of orders that are just entering the market now, in fact some are still waiting to see what kind of outcome and effect the election will have on our livestock markets.

The market this week saw a price spread shrinkage based on steers and heifers.

As the weather changes and the thousands of cattle are marketed across the country we still need to expect market f luctuations, as there would seem to be a much bigger downside as the opposed upside of the cattle market. Cows have shown the biggest fluctuation so far and are trending softer this week due to a lower demand on certain local orders. Feeding type cows and heiferettes are still selling stronger but definitely slid from where they have been over the past few weeks. Yielding cows still traded quite reasonable from 150.00 to

160.00 with sales to 165 looking like softer averages.

Feeding type cows are ranging between 165 to 174.

Bulls traded slightly softer ranging between 194.00 to 200.00.

All classes of cattle sold well! Plainer type cattle, are still being discounted!

Here is a look at the feeder market!

Some highlights from the sale, black steers weighed 480 traded for a whopping 500.50 per pound! Black steers weighed 576 and traded for 443. Crossbred steers weighed 657 and brought 409.00. Red steers weighed 738 pounds and they hit 370.00. Mixed steers weighed 837 and they checked out at 350.00!

Heifers, crossbred heifers weighed 445 and traded for 467.50. Red hided heifers weighed 550 and brought 421.00. Crossbred heifers weighed 665 and made 370.00.

Stuffed potatoes are a family favorite recipe that never goes out of style. These twicebaked potatoes are a wonderful change of pace from everyday baked potatoes. Large russet baking potatoes work best in this recipe because of their size and sturdy skin. Pile that goodness into your potatoes and top them with freshly grated cheese. Perfection!

Ground beef potato boats 4 large baked potatoes 1/2 tsp. pepper 1 lb. ground beef 1 tsp. Dash or Italian dried herbs 1/4 cup diced onions 1 cup sour cream or undiluted cream 1/4 cup diced celery of mushroom soup 1/4 diced mushrooms 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 tsp. salt Brown the beef with the onions, celery and mushrooms.

Add the salt, pepper, Dash and sour cream or mushroom soup. Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the potatoes leaving the skins intact. Mash the potatoes and mix with the meat mixture. Fill the potato skins.

Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 375°F until the filling is hot and lightly browned, around 15 to 20 minutes.

Strathclair Theatre Chorus in Concert to perform in Carberry

By Gloria Mott Submitted “Sometimes it takes only one song to bring back one thousand memories.” I don’t know who came up with this saying, but it is true that music triggers recollections of events in our lives.

St r at hcla i r T heat re Chorus is kicking off their 2024-2025 season with a stop at Carberry Community Memorial Hall, on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2:00 p.m. The Carberry Plains Museum Board is sponsoring this event as their fall fundraiser.

Their concert features music through the decades, and it will bring you songs like the Log Dr ivers’ Wa lt z, (what Boomers don’t remember that National Film Board vignette?) or as new as “Better when I’m Dancing” from the Peanuts movie. As memorable as

the Beatles, or as old as the Andrews sisters; As upbeat as “Splish Splash” or as majestic as the Hallelujah Chorus.

St r at hcla i r T heat re Chorus is directed by Elizabeth Gebauer (Brandon) and accompanied by Penny Menzies (Inglis).

The 42 men and women who make up the ensemble this year come from Basswood, Birtle, Brandon, Cardale, Erickson, Hamiota, Minnedosa, Newdale, Oak River, Onanole, Shoal Lake, and Strathclair. They rehearse from mid-September to mid-November and then perform in various commu n it ies i n sout her n Manitoba. This year, their schedule includes concerts in Carberry, Strathclair, Hamiota, Brandon and Minnedosa. For the 202425 season, all concerts will be held in the afternoon.

The Carberry Plains Museum Board will be

serving desserts and beverages during the intermission. Tickets are $20, and available from board members. They are also available at East End Service and the Carberry Branch of the Westman Regional Library. This afternoon event promises to be one that lifts our spirits, stirs our memories and touches our emotions. As chorus publicist Courtney Newton says, “If it brings a smile to your face, or your toes are tapping, we are doing our job.”

NACI Tigers host annual Slasher Showdown

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

It was a busy weekend at the Yellowhead Arena, as the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Tigers hosted their annual Slasher Showdown. This year’s tournament was held on Nov. 1 to 2 and featured six teams.

The first game for Neepawa would be against a very recognizable opponent, in the form of their WHSHL compatriots, the Crocus Plains Plainsmen.

This tournament opener turned into a real back and forth with the Tigers` eventually winning by the score of 7-5.

For the first period, Ian Foster scored the lone goal for Neepawa, while Crocus claimed one of their own.

Then things would really get exciting in the second period, with a barrage of goals. Kellen Hockin earned Neepawa’s second goal of the game early in

With two minutes left in the third, Crocus Plains pulled the goaltender to gain the extra attacker.

That paid off, as about 20 seconds later, they’d scored their fifth of the game, to trail by just one goal once again. Hoping that lighting would strike twice, the Plainsmen went with the extra skater again with 51 seconds left. It wan’t to be though, as Neepawa was able to pick up the empty netter, to secure a 7-5 win Continued on Page 8

Did You Know...

There are 125 daily newspapers and over 1,100 community newspapers in Canada

Christmas Hamper Program underway in Neepawa Continued from Page 1 While food donations are always gladly accepted, the Christmas Hampers have mainly consisted of gift cards for food since 2020.

Naughton-Gale explained that doing it in this manner gives everyone the freedom to celebrate the holidays in their own way.

“For our Chr istmas hampers, we just give a gift card. And the reason for that is not everybody has a turkey and does that kind of thing,” stated NaughtonGale. “The Christmas meal is something separate and a little more special.

So people can have the autonomy to go and shop the way they would like to shop. [To provide] choices for families to make their holiday experience a special one.”

As well, the creation of all the physical hampers just doesn’t make sense anymore from a capacity or time standpoint. Naughton-Gale noted that the reality is they don’t have the volunteer commitment, or even the space to do that.

The need is greater than ever As for expected usage of this year’s program, Naughton-Gale said that changes they’ve seen in monthly Food Bank use throughout 2024 does have them a bit worried.

“The use of Food Banks is at an all time high across the country, and we’re no different here. We’re at another all time high, serving an average of 55 households a month. The year before it was about 50 households and [the year] before that,

45 a month. So you know that that need just keeps growing and growing and makes it more difficult for us to keep up with that demand,” Naughton-Gale shared. “As for last year’s number for the Christmas Hampers, between ourselves and Gladstone, we were at 165.”

More usage is not the only problem, however, as simply the increase of cost to everything also has a huge impact.

“It is going to cost us more regardless, just because of inflation and cost of living. If we do exactly what we did last year, it will be another $3,500 to $4,000. The cost of 50 or 100 hampers isn’t the same as 50 or 100 hampers last year.”

To combat those types of problems, the Salvation Army Neepawa Community Services is working on several fundraising ideas.

Those include their annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, which kicks off on Nov. 23. As well, they are launching a new Christmas Appeal project across the region on Nov. 15 ( A separate article on this new initiative will appear in the Nov. 15 edition of the Banner & Press).

The joy of a toy for Christmas Another major compon-

ent of the annual Christmas Hamper Program is the distribution of toys to local children.

“The toy situation is really special. Last year, we started instead of us choosing the toys, we set up a toy store with everything that’s been donated.

Parents come through and they choose exactly what their child wants or would like. They know their kids best, and that has really allowed us to serve and to stretch out those donations a lot more.”

In conclusion, Naugh-

ton-Gale lauded many local businesses that assist in the purchase and collection of a variety of toys. Those she singled out included Hid’n Hollow, Neepawa Home Hardware, our local Red Apple and Giant Tiger, as well as Your Dollar Store with more and Harris Pharmacy.

People can also donate toys themselves directly to the effort. Naughton-Gale stressed that any supports, large or small, are always greatly appreciated.

Neepawa Farmers start THHL season with a win

Updates from around the Tigers Hills Hockey League

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

A late game scoring surge powered the Neepawa Farmers to a 4-1 win over the MacGregor Wild in their home opener at the Yellowhead Centre on Saturday, Nov. 2.

Kyle McDonald, Bret Levandoski and Dillon Birch all picked up goals for Neepawa in the final 8:38 of the third period.

Rylan Bray scored the first of the game for the Farmers in the first period, while Drake Sheppard picked up the lone goal for the visiting Wild.

Goaltender Nate Braun made 37 saves for Neepawa to earn the win, while Brendan Schaan was tagged with the loss for MacGregor, despite putting together a strong 43 save effort.

Next for Neepawa is a road game in Rivers against the Jets on Friday, Nov. 8. The Farmers will follow that up the next night at home versus the Carberry Plainsmen.

Opening face-off is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Yellowhead Centre.

Minnedosa bested

by Killarney The Minnedosa Bombers were paired up against a difficult opponent for their home opener on Oct. 26, in the form of the Killarney Shamrocks. Former Neepawa Titan Rylan Gudnason scored once and added an assist to help Killarney cruise to a 4-1 win.

Fellow former MJHLers Issac Friesen (Neepawa - 2005 to 2007), Jesse Bernard (Dauphin - 2013-14), as well as Western Hockey

League alumni Reid Gow, also scored for Killarney.

Patrick Kondratiew was the lone goal scorer for Minnedosa.

The Bombers return to the ice at Sunrise Credit Union Centre in Minnedosa on Saturday, Nov. 9, when they face the Hartney Blues.

Slow start for Carberry The Carberry Plainsmen have dropped a pair of games to begin the THHL

season. First, they fell to MacGregor 4-1 on Oct. 25.

Then they were defeated by Boissevain on Nov. 2, by the final score of 9-1.

Nate Robson scored the lone goal for Carberry against MacGregor, while Josh McMillan earned one versus Boissevain. Both those games were on the road for the Plainsmen.

Their home opener will be played on Saturday, Nov. 16 against Hartney.

Tigers face Vikings in Consolation final Continued from Page 7 Neepawa’s next game on Nov. 1 was against a less familiar opponent, the Jeanne-Sauve Olympiens.

After a scoreless first period, Cohen Kulbacki scored the first of the game late in the second, knocking in a rebound off of his initial wraparound attempt.

For the third, JeanneSauve kept on pressing to find that equalizer, but goaltender Austin Michaluk was solid between the pipes. It wasn’t until the Olympiens pulled their goalie for the extra attacker that they were able to score with just 50 seconds left in regulation.

This game would be decided in overtime, as Neepawa’s Ian Foster put a shot away and sent the Tigers

Cohen Kulbacki (#14) would score on his own wraparound rebound.

into the playoff round with a perfect 2-0 record.

Championship/ consolation games For the semi-final, Neepawa was paired up against the College Beliveau Barra-

cudas. While the Tigers put in a solid effort, the speed and talent of the city team just proved to be too much, as the Barracudas picked up a 5-1 victory.

For the consolation final, Neepawa played the Vin-

cent Massey Vikings, and were blanked 3-0. As for the Championship, Beliveau defeated Jeanne-Sauve 3-1. Congratulations to the supporters of the NACI Tigers on an extremely well run weekend.

George John Dilling

January 24, 1960 - April 27, 2024 George passed away in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on April 27, 2024, at the St. Boniface Hospital.

George was born in Neepawa, Manitoba, to John and Joanne. He was the second of three children. His childhood had many adventures of travelling with family on vacations or fishing expeditions. George enjoyed building go carts, or anything with small engines, and learning to work with wood.

George moved to Brandon in 1977, where he went to work for A.R.M. Industries, this is where he learned to excel at his wood working skills. He built birdhouses, lawn chairs and ornaments, picnic tables, folding tables and stools, and numerous other items. If he had a pattern he could make it. George worked there for many years, until the area which he worked in shut down. He then did odd jobs until he was no longer able to continue working out.

He spent many years in the company of very good friends while living in Brandon. Coffee with Bob was a daily enjoyment. He also developed a keen interest in anything remote control, this was something he could drive or operate on the water and enjoy.

George was predeceased by his father, John, grandparents Geordie and Vera Birnie and Jack and Annie Dilling, uncles Eddie Rainkie, David Maryk and Earl Dilling, aunts Eva (Wes) Newton and Viola Dilling.

He is survived by his mother Joanne, sister Mary-Ann, brother Jim (Candace), aunts Marilyn Rainke, Joyce Maryk, cousin Carole (Les) Davie, relatives and good friends Bob and Patter, Barry and Della, and all others who were there for him.

A private service was held on October 8 at Riverside Cemetery.

The Neepawa Banner & Press is printing this photo as a supplement to the Clinton Bee letters feature in the Remembrance Day special section of the Nov. 1 edition.

This photo and the details provided below were culminated from the Military Service Recognition Book (Volume 15)– a project by the Manitoba & Northwestern Ontario Command of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The book was dropped off at the Neepawa Banner & Press on Nov. 4, and contains photos and details for many individuals.

Thanks is given to the reader who provided it.

Clinton Henry Bee – WWII: Clinton Henry Bee (pictured) was born in Oberon on Nov. 26, 1918. Almost 23 years later, on Mar. 14, 1941, Bee enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force via Winnipeg. He served in both England and France during World War II, receiving his discharge in Winnipeg on Oct. 5, 1945.

For his service, Bee received the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and Clasp, France and Germany Star, Defence Medal and 1939-1945 Star.

Following his service, he was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion at Neepawa (Branch #23) for 63 years. Bee passed away on Sept. 12, 2015.
