Local volunteer earns international honour Darlene Gillies named 2018 UCT Volunteer of the Year

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

To si mply say t hat Darlene Gillies has a long history of volunteerism still feels like a dramatic understatement. For years, her name has been a familiar one penned upon the bottom of the sign-up sheets for a wide array of community functions. It’s because of that consistent commitment to helping others that she has been recently honoured by the Order of United Commercial Travelers (UCT).

On Tuesday, July 3, Gillies was presented with the UCT’s Volunteer of the Year Award at the annual International Convention, held in Savannah, Georgia.

The award is the highest honour given to a member who has demonstrated outstanding service to both the UCT and their community.

For Gillies, who has been a member for 28 years, it

was also a very unexpected honour.

“A little bit of a shock. I knew my name had been submitted, but it had been submitted before, so I never expected to be singled out in this manner. There are so many qualified people with the UCT and people who probably deserve the honour more than I did,” said Gillies. “When the award was announced, [the presenters] talked about a few of the projects like Join Hands Day and Safety Day. Lots of [local UCT] councils do similar events, but when they came to the coordinating Safety Day for the area students or something to that effect, I kind of looked [around the table] and the other lady that I knew, from Brandon; She had tears in her eyes and it sunk in ‘Is that me?’. The presenters up on the stage looked at me and they could just see my face change, as the realization

Gillies was quick to pass credit on to the community of Neepawa, saying that there are so many people who commit their time and energy to local causes, that don’t get the recognition. She also thanked her family, her fellow UCT members and her husband Warren for their support over the years, noting that making the community a better place is not a oneperson job.

later. Over the course of the near three decades since that time, she has proven to be a true asset to her community through 1,000 plus hours worth of personal volunteering she gives each year. Just some of that support includes listening and consoling bereaved families in their homes, driving cancer patients to appointments such as chemo and radiation treatments and assisting at the local flu clinic. Gillies noted that there is a simple reason why she supports the community in this manner.

“It’s just the thing you do.

You volunteer because you want to volunteer. It’s the right thing to do,” Gillies stated. “What I’m pleased to see is others stepping up to volunteer as well.

The real soul of Art & Soul

NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS 3

Artist space offers unique opportunity to community

Submitted

Neepawa Banner & Press

Drop by Art & Soul in Neepawa and you won’t just see a boutique and gift shop carrying items from soaps and jewellery to original paintings, you’ll also catch a glimpse of an artist at work. Opening just in time for the Christmas season last year, Art & Soul is not a traditional retail space, it’s a collective of seven local artists who came together to found a space that’s for making art as much as it is for selling it.

The real soul of Art & Soul is in the artist workspace, giving local artists a space in which to practice their art, both alone and in collaboration with other artists in the collective.

“It’s such a joy and an inspiration to be with other artists,” says Michele Walmsley, a founding member of the collective.

“There’s a wonderful cre-

ative energy that comes out of this kind of way of working together. For me, it’s really brought more creativity to the front.”

“Neepawa has always been known as a creative community,” adds Shannon Desjardins, another member of the collective.

“It’s really rewarding to be able to add another place where we can both foster and show off that creativity.”

Local artists featured

In addition to Walmsley and Desjardins, local artists Ginny Collins, Gwen Baryla, Brad Mummery, Chris Inkster, and Rrain Prior each have a share in the collective, producing diverse works in several different mediums including pottery, wood art, and oil painting.

When the loft is open to the public, at least one of them is usually on site actively creating the art

that then goes on display.

As well, several members offer classes to encourage creativity throughout the community and across all age groups.

“It’s really a welcoming env ironment, whether you’re an artist, or you’re shopping, or you’re just curious about what goes on behind the curtains when it comes to making art,” says Desjardins.

“It’s a real collaboration and it inspires us to do more and produce more work,” concludes Walmsley.

This work can be seen at the Art & Soul Artisans Loft, located at 423 Mountain Ave. (the old Neepawa Press building). The loft is entirely volunteer operated, so check the door or the Facebook page for opening hours.

Growing knowledge

by Chad Carpenter

A

If not now, when?

If not you, then who?

T

hose are the questions that should be on everyone’s minds as the summer of 2018 rolls along. This is a municipal election year in Manitoba and it is time for all good people to be thinking about their town or municipal council and who will or should be on that council after election day.

Over the next few weeks, every citizen should be pondering the make-up of their local council. No other level of government affects our daily lives as much as our local councils do, not school boards, not the legislature in Winnipeg, nor the parliament in Ottawa.

So are you satisfied with your reeve, mayor or councilors? If so, that is good, but what about the positions that will be vacated? Not all reeves, mayors or councilors are going to run again. There will be openings. It is also doubtful if everyone is content with their current council members either.

So back to the opening questions posed in the title above, the questions people need to answer in their own mind. Who will run and if not now, when? If not you, then who?

Council positions tend to become a career and that is not always a bad thing but it certainly is not always a good thing. Council positions tend to become held by older people.

That is probably because older people may have the time and possibly the experience to do the job. However, one major problem seems to go unnoticed and that is that long-term decisions made by older people are going to have to be paid for by the younger people. neepawa

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell Let’s say a council of mostly senior citizens decides to spend money on a project that requires a 20year debenture (loan). It will be the younger people who will be paying for it longer than the older people. Conversely, let’s say a council of mostly senior citizens decides to not invest in streets, recreation or infrastructure. It won’t be the older people who suffer from a lack of streets, recreation or infrastructure, it will be the younger generation.

So, the message is again pretty simple. Will you run for council?

Will you get behind a good candidate? Or will you just sit back and let your area fall apart?

What do I mean, “fall apart?”

Very simply, just look at our communities. Are they growing or declining? How many communities do you know that have fewer people and fewer services than they did 10 or 20 years ago?

Communities can grow or decline based, at least in part, due to local decisions.

The best thing that could happen to any community, regardless of size is to have a contested election for every position on council and to have many young people running. It would be a real vic-

tory for any community to have that happen. It would be a bigger victory to have the average age of some of our councils drop by 10 years or more.

People don’t always realize that decisions are made and they have long-lasting effects. Back in the 1960s, Town of Neepawa mayor Harry Smith made it his mission to install curb and gutter in Neepawa. People fought him on that but he persisted and won.

People called him “curb and gutter Harry”. That relatively simple decision set Neepawa apart as the streets are more attractive if a community can afford that expense. A few years ago, Rivers pushed ahead with a new community complex. That was a controversial decision, but few would want to go back on that decision now. People can debate if these examples were a good move or not, but they serve to illustrate that decisions are made locally and need good people to make them.

So for the third time in one column, I say to the citizens of every community within our reach, if not now, when? If not you, then who?

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell

gricultural topics don’t often make front page news in Canada’s biggest city, especially when it’s not bad news.

But that wasn’t the case this week, when the Toronto Star published an investigative piece looking at organic and conventional milk in Canada. The feature ran under a special header and could be found at the top of their website for most of the week.

Milked, by Michele Henry, followed milk from farm to consumer.

It was an extensive piece MY of journalism, PERSPECTIVE involving farm v isit s, store purchases and lab a na lysis.

The work began Kate last winter and Jackman-Atkinson milk tested was purchased in February. In writing the story, Henry visited multiple conventional and organic dairy farms to talk to producers about their operations.

Unlike Toronto’s other major paper, the Globe and Mail, the Star isn’t considered and doesn’t pretend to be the country’s newspaper of record. It caters to the greater Toronto area, where container gardening is about the extent of most residents’ “rural” experience. That’s why the piece was so important.

The overwhelming conclusion of the story was that under the microscope, organic milk is no better and conventional milk no worse. Both contained the same levels of vitamins and minerals, only one costs much more. Talking to farmers, regulators and industry groups, the biggest measurable difference between the two was the paperwork and reporting requirements of organic producers.

A large portion of the story focused on the industry’s extremely stringent regulations and frequent testing. It also highlighted consumers’ lack of knowledge. Henry talked to customers buying milk and most buying organic said they chose it because they wanted a product free of antibiotics and added hormones. The problem is that you don’t have to buy organic to get these benefits; injecting dairy cows with hormones to increase milk production is illegal in Canada and by law, all milk in Canada must be free of antibiotics. The industry isn’t just paying lip service to the rules; each tanker-load of milk is subject to a battery of tests, one of which is for the presence of antibiotics. If a trace is detected, the whole load is dumped and the offending source farm must pay fines, as well as paying for the entire value of the milk that was discarded.

In addition to medications, many consumers buy organic because they feel it creates a happier environment for the cattle. Stressed cattle produce poorer quality milk and to that end, each load of conventional and organic milk is also tested for Somatic cell count (SCC), a measure of white blood cells which indicates stress in the animal. If a farm produces milk with a high SCC, they are fined, as this milk is not only of a poorer quality, but spoils more quickly.

It’s in all dairy farmers’ interest to treat their cattle well.

The consumer can’t be faulted for not knowing what they don’t know; fewer and fewer Canadians have first hand experience of farm life. The 1861 Census recorded 3.2 million Canadian residents, 84 per cent of whom lived in rural areas. The numbers have been steadily declining, the 2016 Census of Agriculture recorded 193,492 agricultural operations and 271,935 farm operators. Only 0.75 per cent of Canadians actively farmed in 2016 and the increasing fragmentation and specialization of the industry overall means that even farmers may not know much about other farm sectors.

Stories like this, aimed at the general public, are vital. They help educate consumers who, more than ever, are further removed from the food they eat and more concerned about what they are eating. This situation has opened the door for marketing, quasi science and fear tactics, not facts, to inform Canadians’ food choices. Farmers need to get their stories out there, the stakes are far too high to not.

I

Facing facts of life

turn another year older t his coming week . I’m not br a g g i n g. Nor a m I complaining. I am just reporting facts as they are. This happens every year at this time; so I’m quite used to it.

What amazes me is the number of birthdays I have had. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it past the age of 40. But I have. Nor did I expect that, in the course of my life and career, I would officiate at the funerals of both of my parents and parents-in-law. But I’ve done that, too.

Now, as each birthday comes, I am aga in con f r onted w it h one obvious fact. I have far more years in my past than I have in my future; and I need to decide how to best spend the years I have left; however many (or few) they may be.

One of my persistent challenges is the age gap between my head and the rest of me. I have

T

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein a 35-year-old head. In other words, my head, for reasons I will never be able to explain, is convinced that my body can do the same things and absorb the same amount of stress that it did when it was 35.

The problem is that the body is over 30 years older than the brain and can’t do what the brain thinks it can. So every so often, when the head asks it to do something, the body just shuts down and sends a two-word message to the brain—“Dream on!!”

But I am far from being an old cripple. I can still think clearly, I can talk (sometimes way more than I should), my preaching skills are still good and I can write; probably better now than I could when I

first began writing these weekly columns. I can read and I am still able to absorb what I read, process the information and let it inf luence my thoughts, words and deeds.

My focus, as I shared in previous columns, has changed. I no longer worry about issues or problems over which I have no control. I vote in elections, but that is the limit of my political involvement. As for organized religion, I offer as much help and encouragement as I can to local churches of all faith traditions; and I will gladly lead worship and pray with any who invite me to do so. Beyond that I have neither the interest in nor the desire to become involved in the political

activities that seem to demand so much time from paid, accountable ministers.

My g o a l i n l i fe i s simple—to live one day at a time and to make the most of the opportunities I am afforded each day. I will leave it up to God to decide where I should live, for whom I should work and what I should do. I trust him to take me into the lives of those who need me the most; and will, by God’s grace and with his help serve them to the best of my ability.

God will never ask any of us to do more than he has given us the resources to accomplish. But he will hold us accountable for failing to use the time, talent and treasure we have to serve others in his name. So as we face the future, especially as we grow older, we can be assured of this—God will always have work for us to do; and he won’t let any of us die until we have completed it.

I am finally current!

here are two current theories on healthy living out there to which I am already adhering. I don’t often catch the crest of a fad, and I sincerely hope these two practices aren’t fads.

The Japanese have researched the benefits of ‘forest bathing’. Essentially it is simply being outdoors, in nature. Not watching a fit bit, not competing with anyone, not doing anything but ‘being’. Studies have shown that being in the presence of nature, trees are exceptionally beneficial, lowers the blood pressure, clears the way for creative thinking and improves mental health.

Excellent for individuals struggling with ADD as well. Part of the miracle is the disconnect with technology, slipping from a 2D world into the real 3D one. For those living in large cities even taking a walk or having lunch in a green space is proving benef icial. The studies

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen

show impressive results and the country is investing in the concept and practice of forests bathing. I love being outdoors anytime, with trees or grass, wind or sun. Feeling the seasons, sensing the presence of energy in all living things.

Having my dogs along for company doesn’t hurt my mood either!

On the other end of life’s spectrum, the Swedish tradition of ‘death cleaning’ is making its way to North A merica. Never before have households contained so many things.

We may have made less than gentle mockery of our grandparents, and perhaps our parents, when they saved every empty ice cream pail and margarine

tub, when they washed, dried and folded every plastic bag that entered the home. Not to mention empty glass jars of every shape and description.

Those habits were a bit understandable- that generation had witnessed the Great Depression when everything had value and could be re-used. We may have gone too far with the throw- away thinking, but our shelves are lined with book s, closets bu lg ing with linens and clothes, cubbies and corners filled with things that our children will probably not want. Those wonderful china dishes that families scrimped and saved for, ornate vases and decorative do-dads. We’ve got

all these, and more, in abundance. Death cleaning is trying to make the dispersal of our estate easier on our families that it was for us tidying up after our parents passing. I am trying, honestly, to pare down on my stuff. There are tough calls, the boxes of pictures that were so important to Ed really don’t mean anything to me. Even with the name of the people pencilled on the back of the photo. I have been able to stick, fairly closely, to the policy of one book out for every new book I need. Or one piece of clothing out for every new one I want.

See the difference- I know that some things I want and others I need! There is a wonderful feeling when a shelf is clear and empty, a drawer less than groaning.

Both of these ideas are as old as the ages. For generations folks have benefitted form camping and hiking, and now we know why.

Death cleaning simply becomes more practical as death draws nearer!

Observation

T

he weather is hot and we are thankful for the air conditioning we have in our hospital and care facilities. Many homes however in our Valley do not have this and for some of the elderly it might be difficult to survive the heat. Maybe we do not know or have contact with our neighbors, but we can have a lookout for them, to make sure they are ok. I makes me think of Sunday when during the band concert in the park my music blew on the floor by the wind and my music stand kept swirling around. Someone helped me to gather my music, another stayed close to me to make sure I would not loose it again and someone from the audience even let met borrow her, much sturdier, music stand.

To serve is mentioned many times in the Bible. David tells us in Psalm 100:2 “Serve the Lord with gladness.” Galatians 13:5 tells us to “serve one another in love.”

It does not have to be a big service, as long as it is done with gladness and in love.

Many Canadians who donate to help people around the world cite their thankfulness for living in Canada as their reason for giving back. They are glad to be able to help their far-away neighbours—and they want their country to do the same.

Canadian Foodgrains Bank is launching a new campaign to encourage Canadians to let the Government of Canada know about their support for ending global hunger and extreme poverty.

Through the I Care postcard campaign, Canadians are encouraged to sign a postcard addressed to the Prime Minister, letting him know they care about Canada’s role in ending global hunger and poverty, and they support Canada contributing generously toward these goals.

It’s important we speak with a united voice, and let the Government of Canada know just how strongly we believe in Canada’s ability to be a force for good in the world.

Advocating for changes and improvements to public policies is one of the ways the Foodgrains Bank works to end hunger. Canadian citizens have an important role in influencing policy changes by voicing their support and encouragement to their elected officials.

Through our last postcard campaign, approximately 25,000 Canadians sent postcards to the Prime Minister, letting him know they believe Canada should be contributing more of its overall aid budget to agricultural development to help small-scale farmers.

We learned from that campaign that without an overall increase to Canada’s aid budget, increased support for agriculture would be highly unlikely. I hope many Canadians will take the opportunity to sign and send a postcard, and encourage their friends and neighbours to join them. We’re excited to see what change we can accomplish when we work together.

I was at the Neepawa compost site on Sunday, July 8 and saw that some idiot left an electric fireplace, two containers of paint thinner and some lumber there. Did you not see the picture in the Banner & Press last week?

I took the fireplace over to the metal dump. If the compost area keeps being used as a garbage dump by the 1 percent, the other 99 percent who follow the rules will lose the use of it. Use your heads people.

Fight to the finish!

Wrestling match takes backstage to political drama After Raymond Cooper received the first seven votes of the ballot count, Iris Long wondered if she was the only voter who cast her ballot for Dick Bland.

Halfway through the count, Vera Pinrod made the decision to call a 10-minute break. After 382 votes had been tallied, Raymond Cooper led with 205 votes, compared with 177 for “Silver Tongue” Dick Bland. Because it was a run-off election, write-in votes were not allowed.

There was a definite buzz in the veterans’ section, as Cooper supporters anticipated an overwhelming win. Word also spread throughout the crowd that Dory Joe LeDuc had defeated The Sheik at the Spring County Fair using his signature move, the backbreaker.

Marvin Walsh, overcome with emotion, shouted, “It looks like true patriots are carrying the night!”

As the break approached the 15-minute mark, folks took their places as they sensed history taking place before their eyes. After five more minutes, Sheriff Dibble approached the microphone.

“Due to a medical issue, Mrs. Penrod will not be able to continue,” Dibble announced. “Diane Curtis is driving her to Spring County Hospital.”

A murmur grew throughout the crowd. Suddenly, the election count was a bit less important. Vera was like family to everyone in the Valley.

Dibble went on, “Mrs. Penrod said to tell everyone she would be fine, and she requested that Iris Long take her place counting the ballots.”

“What?” exclaimed Elbert Lee Jones.

Earl Goodman had thoughts of his own. “No way!” he shouted.

A sharp glance from Chief Dibble in their direction quickly calmed

things down.

He then looked in the direction of Iris, who had been tallying the vote on her own reporter’s pad. “Mrs. Long, would you continue the vote count?”

You wouldn’t think a hardened news reporter would get nervous, but Iris stammered, shocked by the turn of events. “I guess so.”

Long took Vera’s seat in front of the crowd. Chief Dibble placed the ballot box in front of her, and she withdrew a slip of paper.

“Bland!” she shouted with as much energy as she could muster.

“No way!” shouted Walsh.

Dibble had about as much as he could stand. He quickly made his way to Marvin, said a few words only Walsh could hear, then made his way back to the stage. Marvin quickly became unusually subdued.

“Bland,” continued Iris. Then, “Bland,” again.

You could feel the heat rising from the veterans’ section, but no one dared say a word with Dibble at full attention.

As the count continued, the tallies on each side of the board became closer. At one point, Iris stopped to catch her breath.

That’s when Beatrice Justice spoke just loud enough for most in the crowd to hear her. “Romans 2:11,” was all she said as if she, too was out of breath.

Perry Pratt, almost to himself, but again loud enough for most to hear, uttered “They’re tied.”

Indeed, they were. With 742 votes

tallied, Bland had caught Cooper with 22 ballots left. The room became silent, waiting for Long to continue the count.

As those final 22 votes were tallied, Chief Dibble no longer sought to quiet the crowd. With every ballot, there was a roar which grew louder with each slip Iris pulled from the box.

“Cooper!” Iris yelled.

Then, “Bland!”

The count went back and forth, much like the match between Gorilla Monsoon and The Stomper taking place at the fairgrounds.

With one ballot remaining, Cooper had 381 votes. Bland had 382.

Would there be a second run-off?

Could there really be a tie?

As Dibble again attempted to quiet the crowd, word spread that The Stomper and Monsoon fought to a draw in their match.

Iris pulled the final ballot from the box. Dibble needed try no longer.

You could have heard a pin drop in the room.

Iris looked at the ballot for what seemed like minutes, but was only a few seconds. Putting her hand to her chest, she read the name on the paper, “Bland.”

It took a moment to sink in. Raymond Cooper had been defeated by two votes.

“It’s a fix!” screamed Walsh. “Iris Long has fixed this election!”

Like most others, I stayed in the Town Hall for several minutes, realizing I had just witnessed history in the making. This was quite possibly the most exciting night in the history of the Valley . . . so far.

Bowhunting competitions in Neepawa hit the mark

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The best bowhunters from across the province recently converged on Neepawa for a pair of premier events. On Saturday, July 7, the Yellowhead Bowhunters Archery Club hosted both the Provincial 3D Championship and the final stage of the 3D Triple Crown Championship.

The Triple Crown was part of a threestage series put together by the Archers and Bowhunters Association of Manitoba (ABAM). The other parts of this accumulative competition have already been held in Selkirk and Winnipeg.

As for the Provincial Championship, that was a separate shoot which took place at the same time and was open to shooters of all abilities. Both tournaments feature “3D” life-sized animal targets, which are placed in outdoor areas that simulate bow hunting.

The surrounding terrain of over 80 acres is used to provide visual challenges and varying levels of difficulty for the shooters.

Yellowhead Bowhunters club president Adam Lukin said about 60 competitors participated in either one or both of these events. He noted that because of the size and scope of these shoots, the club decided to make this year’s course extra special.

“We created two separate courses in order to challenge the shooters. We have our normal course on our land located just east of [Neepawa]. On top of that, Terry and Carolyn Payjack, who own the property adjacent to our course, generously

donated the use of some of their land. So we have been able to temporarily set up a second course. We are very thankful to them for allowing that,” said Lukin. “As for the competitors, they have really been happy with the challenge both courses are providing them. They’ve been saying that the layout of the targets has been great.

It’s been a good challenge for all levels of shooter. We’ve had a good turnout and there have been some very good remarks from the course. This has given us a chance to showcase the club and this wide acreage of land that we have access to. The area is well maintained, thanks to all of our club members, so we’re really pleased with how things have gone.”

Aside from the local shooters, an event of this scale brought out bowhunters from across the prairies, including Adam Boyle of Regina, SK. Boyle said this was his first time on Neepawa’s course and that he found it to be very impressive. “[He and members of his family] participate in events like this throughout the summer. The schedule has allowed us a chance to come here and take part. I like the layout here. It’s a good up and down course, the changes in elevation add an extra challenge to the shooting. It’s the type of course that the community should be proud of,” stated Boyle.

As for the long-term plans of Yellowhead Bowhunters Club, Lukin said they hope to continue to attract more provincial and potentially national events to Neepawa in the future.

1978 : Neepawa wins twin-town golf tournament

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

80 years ago Tuesday, July 12, 1938 Evidence submitted on behalf of the Government of Alberta at a recent hear ing of t he Tar if f B oa r d i n con nec t ion with developments in the Turner Valley oil field is that as a result of these developments petroleum consumers in the Prairie Provinces this year will pay approximately $5,500,000 less for gasoline, distillates, and other light petroleum products than they paid in 1936. This is solely because Turner Valley was brought in as an important oil producing field. This estimate is based upon 1937 consumption and if the west should be blessed with a good crop, which would result in a larger consumption of petroleum products, the saving would be proportionally greater.

Co-operation among pr o duc er s , pip e l i ne s , railways, and ref iners to expand the market of Turner Valley crude by making its products available throughout the Prairies is responsible for this great saving to the customers.

70 years ago, Thursday, July 8, 1948 Dr. N.K. Pierce left last Friday on a vacation trip to New York and points east.

Horace Frampton left Tuesday for Winnipeg, where he will begin his duties as salesman for Western Grocers, working throughout the southern part of the province.

One of the hangars of the old airport is being moved to Winnipeg to be used by the University in their Sports Centre project.

60 years ago, Friday, July 15, 1958 A ver y attract ive display commemorating Neepawa’s 75th Anniversary was planned and arranged by J.A .

Te n n a nt , br ot he r of M r s . W. G . F r a s e r , at their home on Mill Street. A beautiful floral arrangement consisting of a bed of marigolds mark ing the dates (1883-Neepawa-1958) was enhanced by the colorful and patriotic addition of flags.

50 years ago, Friday, July 12, 1968 A pprox i m ately 25 0 visitors & residents — including former pupils and teachers— attended a picnic at Orange Ridge on July 6, the occasion being the unveiling of a cairn in commemoration of the school 1889-1968.

T he a f ter noon a nd even ing was spent playing various games of softball, men’s horseshoe tournaments, women’s naildriving competition and numerous children’s races.

The main feature of the evening was a dedication of the cairn which displays a miniature replica of the school house. Nels Bay acted as master of ceremonies, introducing the special guest, Mrs. Les Birnie (the former Jennie Bowe), one of the eldest pupils who had taken all her schooling in the district.

Mrs. Birnie was given the honor of raising the flag and unveiling of the cairn.

David Impett read the history of the school, a copy of which had been sealed in the monument.

Greetings were brought from Nelson Schoemaker, MLA, for the constituency, and Walter Thompson, ward trustee of the Beautiful Plains School Division.

Barbara Wyatt, youngest pupil attending school the past year, lowered the flag, assisted by two k i n d e r g a r t e n pu p i l s , Laurie Lang and Nadine Babcock, who folded the flag and presented it to Mr. Thompson.

Many people enjoyed reading the lists of former teacher s, pupi ls, a nd trustees, which had been compiled from the registers dating as far back as May 1, 1989, when the school first opened. It was then known as Brydges. In 1929 the name was changed to Orange Ridge School District.

Past teachers attending w e r e , D r. D o r o t h y Jefferson, Winnipeg; Mrs. Marvin Hamilton (Muriel Smith) , Ochre River; Mrs. Andrew Johnston (Muriel L indsay), Shoal Lake; Mrs. Wilfred Osborne (Mary E. Revel), Birnie; Mrs. Jack Rutherford (Lois Revel), Grosse Isle; Edith Davis, Roblin; Mrs. Terry Reagh (Sylvia Brown), Headingley; Mrs. Brian McCutchin (Elaine Clarke), Birnie.

Former pupils attending were from Ca lgar y;

Cutbank, Sask; Kamloops, Vancouver, B.C.; Morden, Winn ipeg, McCrear y, Grand Rapids, Hamiota, Neepawa and Brandon, Man. T he Bi r n ie Un ited Church women served refreshments, along with a locally sponsored booth.

40 years ago, Thursday, July 13, 1978 The first ever twin-town golf tourney was held at the Neepawa Golf & Country Club on Monday, involving golfers from Neepawa and Minnedosa men’s clubs.

Ten matches were played involving 40 golfers. The best-ball method was used, with each win being worth two points and a tie scoring one point.

The Neepawa teams topped the Minnedosa men and Walter Zeke presented the Zeke Trophy to the president of the Neepawa club, Harry Connerton.

This twin-town tournament is to be a bi-annual event with each town acting as host. The purpose of the competition is to encourage sociability and promote the game of golf between the two towns.

30 years ago, Tuesday, July 12, 1998 Six from the Neepawa Blue Dolphins Swim Club earned a berth on the 12- memb er We st m a n swimming team competing in the Manitoba Summer Games at Pinawa, August 16 to 21.

Jana Sylvester, 14, Nicole Dyck, and Erin Cummings, 12, made the six-member girls team following the Westman Regional Games swim meet held in Neepawa on Sunday. On the boy’s side, Kevan Sumner, 12, Jason Kingdon, 12, and Glen Goodwin, 13, earned berths on the six-member boys team.

Actually, Kingdon is from Minnedosa, but he swims out of the Neepawabased club.

GOLFERS FROM NEEPAWA AND MINNEDOSA teed off against each other in the Twin Town Tourney which finished up Monday evening July 10, 1978. The Neepawa club came out on top, and Neepawa president Harry Connerton accepted the Walter Zeke trophy on behalf of the club.

Westman girl’s swim team were A llyson Graham and Vanessa Tindall from Ca rber r y a nd St acey Sararas from Hamiota.

Besides Neepawa’s three male swimmers, Darcy Cairney and Justin Frank from Carberr y and Brandon’s Paul Turner will be going to Pinawa representing the Westman Region.

Qualifying for the team was based on accumulated point in the various events which included 10, 100, and 200 metre distances n the butterfly, breast stroke, back stroke, freestyle, and medley races.

Meet organizers Penny Poitras said she wasn’t sure how well the Neepawa Swimmers will place in the Manitoba Summer Games, “but they’ll be competitive.”

“They’re going to be working hard to get ready,” she added.

Poitras said the team had been working mostly on technique rather than racing prior to the Sunday meet, and she has wondered whether this would hold them back. “But it sure didn’t.”

M ichel le G oodw i n, coach of the Blue Dolphins, said she was impressed with

the performances of all Neepawa’s swimmers.

“We’re lucky that six of the twelve sim with neepawa,” Goodwin added.

Erin Cummings was just one point behind Hamiota’s Stacey Sararas in accumulated points during the girls portion of the meet. Cummings compiled 45 points.

Nicole Dyck had 26 points, while Jana Sylvester finished with 14 points for Neepawa.

Freestyle specialist Glen Goodwin led the Neepawa boy’s team with 33 points, but he was well back of Brandon swimmer Paul Turner who tallied 50 points.

Sw imm ing at t he Manitoba Summer Games is for participants between 10 and 13 years of age.

Sylvester just made the age bracket by having a birthday after the July 1 cutoff date. She turned 14 on July 2.

20 years ago, Monday, July 13, 1998 Polonia’s first-ever Little Jamboree raised over $7, 600.

As beneficiaries, Apryl Dawn of Portage and Kathy Wright of Minnedosa will

each receive $2,561.59.

The rest will go toward the Polonia community hall and expenses.

Ten-month-old Dawn was born visually impaired, while Wright has a disability similar to cerebral palsy that leaves her with limited muscle control and an inability to speak.

10 years ago, Monday, July 14, 2008 Josh Loewen outdueled Cory Neer, pitching the Neepawa Farmers a 3-1 victory over the Reston Rockets and back into first place in the Manitoba Senior Baseball League.

Wednesday night’s win gave the Farmers a 10-6 record, leaving them a point ahead of the Ora Dental Marlins of Brandon.

Loewen, who pitched a complete-game onehitter in his previous start, followed up with a fivehitter in squelching the Rockets.

Chris Ciochon drove in two of Neepawa’s runs with a single.

Neer gave up seven walks, five hits and all three Neepawa runs before exiting in the sixth inning.

Farmhouse 50 is raising Manitoba products

18072MC0

PHOTO BY KATE JACKMAN-ATKINSON

Since its grand opening last month, Farmhouse 50 has quickly turned into a gathering place for many in Minnedosa.

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press Drawn to the building’s character, Meaghan Cann’s v ision for t he historic Chipperf ield’s building in Minnedosa was realized last month, with the opening of her new business, Farmhouse 50. Cann, who owns the business with her husband Jamie, has created a space that’s part coffee house, part gift shop and all Manitoban.

The Canns are from Onanole, where they both operated small businesses.

Meaghan makes children’s clothing under the Wild Child Supply brand, while Jamie operates a plumbing business. “We come from a long string [of entrepreneurs],” said Meaghan, “It’s in our blood.”

Meaghan said a number of factors drove their desire to purchase the shuttered coffee house, located at 50 Main St. in Minnedosa.

The first was the building itself, “We loved the character and the old charm…

We fell in love with the building when we saw it,” she said. Both growing up in small towns, they were attracted to Minnedosa, “It’s got a good vibe,” explained Meaghan.

Since buying it in April, the building has undergone some minor renovations and interior updates, but one of the biggest changes was opening up the patio, a space few people knew existed. “There was lots of painting,” said

Meaghan of preparing the space for its June 29 opening. She said they are planning to hold a special grand opening event at a later date.

One of the unique aspects of Farmhouse 50 is its Manitoba-focus. Being a small business owner, Meaghan knew first-hand the challenges faced by those creating products in Manitoba and looking to get them sold. “I saw the need of small business owners,” she explains of her efforts to offer them an avenue to reach customers. “Manitoba has lots to offer that we’re not aware of,” she adds. While some of the products are from the Winnipeg area, many come from Westman, including Minnedosa. “So many people will ask where a product is from and when I say, ‘Minnedosa’, they have no idea,” she explains.

Keeping this local focus was an important part of the businesses concept. It also offers a chance for Cann to share the products she loves and uses.

“We personally own one of every product, they’re tried and true,” she explains, “We don’t like to sell what we don’t believe in”. The merchandising also ref lects Cann’s personal taste and style, “To be successful, you have to be passionate,” she explains. Since all of the products are hand made, the space will be con-

stantly changing, as new merchandise replaces what has been sold. Following a brisk first couple of days, Cann said she’s already going to have to talk to her suppliers about getting to work on new items. Cann also said she’s always keeping her eyes open for new products that compliment the existing offering.

After a busy opening weekend, Meaghan has words of appreciation for the customers she has greeted since opening her doors. “The town has been so appreciative, I’ve met so many new faces,” she said.

Corrections: In the Friday, July 6 edition of the Banner & Press, an error was made in the spelling of the name of Don Schmall, in relation to the picture for the presidential change over of the Neepawa Rotary Club.

As well, in the graduation section of

the same edition, a pair of name were inadvertently missed from the NACI Principal’s Honour Roll. Jeasela Gutierrez and Darren Galura were also awarded pins for attaining an academic average of 90 per cent or better. The Banner & Press apologies for the omissions and the error.

On July 5, 168 enthusiastic guests came out the Roxy Theatre in Neepawa for a special Ladies’ Night showing of Ocean’s 8.

Thanks to supportive local businesses, volunteers and Roxy board members, the scene was set with prize draws and a decorateyou-own-cupcake bar.

One guest even came in costume to win the movie’s poster, a new contest being held at certain shows.

Attracting a wide range of ages, the positive response has left the board optimistic about reviving these special events.

Later that week, the Roxy was also informed that they will be receiving a Designated Heritage Building grant from the provincial government.

This grant brings the registered charity $5,000 away from their fundraising goal in order to complete phase 2 of the theatre’s brick repointing project.

Margaret Laurence: person of national historic significance

Submitted

Neepawa Banner & Press

National recognition of a Neepawa-born author will kick start the first-ever Manawaka Festival in August.

The Government of Canada has designated Margaret Laurence as a Person of National Historic Significance. A special ceremony and plaque unveiling is scheduled for Friday, August 10 at 1 p.m. at Margaret Laurence Home.

With the assistance of Parks Canada, the Margaret Laurence Home committee has organized a program which includes greetings from government and other officials, a reading from one of Laurence’s works, reminiscences and greetings from her son David Laurence of Ontario, who is unable to attend.

Lemonade and cake will follow the official program.

The ceremony will be just the start of hours of entertainment and storytelling for children and adults alike.

“We’re hoping that this will be the beginning of an annual event called Manawaka Festival: A Celebration of Stories in

Neepawa, MB”, committee chair Blair Chapman said.

The committee would like to see a weekend-long event in the future.

Although not all details have been confirmed, plans for the afternoon include readings by several rural Manitoba authors and a Human or Living Library event at the Margaret Laurence Home, as well as a children’s tent offering special activities for that age group.

Local musical entertainment will be on offer over supper hour at the Farmery.

The evening schedule includes the screening of either a movie based on a Margaret Laurence novel or another made-inCanada movie, depending on film availability.

The event will conclude with Ghost Stories at Park Lake, scary stories told while roasting marshmallows at a bonfire.

Watch for further details.

Darren Maginel wins Neepawa Senior Open

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

A first-time competitor has conquered the course at the Neepawa Golf and Country Club (NGCC), laying claim to the 2018 Senior Open title. Darren Maginel of Clear Lake shot a two-over-par round of 74, on Monday, July 9, garnering him the top prize at the annual event.

That 18-hole total was two shots better than his nearest competition, Bill Horn, Mike Penarowski and Craig Richardson, who all shot 4-over for the day.

Maginel said that this is the first year that he has been eligible to play on the Senior Open circuit, which takes place across western Manitoba throughout July and early August. He noted that he does intend on playing similar events this year in Brandon, Minnedosa

and Poplar Ridge.

As for his results in Neepawa, Maginel said he was very pleased with his effort out there.

“The conditions [of the

course] were really good, and I was able to find my rhythm fairly quickly out there. I was able to find the fairway consistently and after I birdied [holes] nine

and ten, that got me going a little bit,” stated Maginel.

“I didn’t come into the day with any type of set expectations for where I was going to place. There were a lot of

good players out there. Rod Klassen, Keith Fawcett, I play a round with those guys regularly at Clear Lake and they’re usually getting the better of me. Today was just

my day.”

NGCC general manager and CPGA golf pro Landon Cameron said that it’s nice to see a few new names near the top of the leaderboard.

“I believe this is Darren’s first year in the Open, so good for him. He’s a good player and had a solid score out [on the course] today,” stated Cameron. “We had 140 golfers take part this year. That number is up a bit from last year. Our Senior Men’s event has a good following and it’s good to see players coming back year after year, as well as new players getting involved.

We do what we can to make it an enjoyable outing.”

Cameron also thanked the clubhouse staff and grounds crew for the tremendous job they have done, not just throughout the day, but the entire golf season.

Cubs sweep Dauphin SCBL playoff update

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The first major upset in the Santa Clara Baseball League (SCBL) playoffs has occured and it’s courtesy of the Neepawa Cubs.

A pair of solid pitching ef forts, by Cole Krutkewich and Devin Tibbett respectively, enabled Neepawa to sweep the Dauphin Brewers in two straight games in the opening round.

In game one, held in Dauphin on Monday, July 9, the Cubs outlasted the Brewers to claim a 10-8 win. The next night in Neepawa, Tibbett throw a complete game to pick

up a 13-3 decision.

Heading into the opening round series, Dauphin was the third ranked team in the playoff bracket, after finishing the regular season with a 9-5-0 record.

Neepawa, mea nwh i le, were ranked sixth, due to their 4-10-0 regular season record.

Neepawa w i l l likely face the Portage Padres (13-1-0) in the next round, though the schedule for the semi-finals has not yet been released. During the regular season, Neepawa was the only club that was able to defeat Portage, as the Cubs beat the Padres 3-1 on opening night back on May 15.

Justin Metcalf commits to Minot State

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Former Neepawa Natives forward Justin Metcalf has committed to play with the Minot State University (MSU).

The 20-year-old from Winnipeg will join the ACHA Division I hockey team for the upcoming 2018-2019 season.

In a media release distributed by the Natives organization, Metcalf expressed excitment regarding his recent signing.

“Minot is a great fit both academically and hockey-wise, I am excited for the opportunity in Minot.”

Metcalf went on to thank all coaches and hockey operations for his time with Neepawa.

“Firstly I would like to thank the Neepawa Natives for giving me the opportunity to play in the MJHL. I want to thank the coaches and staff who had shown their faith in me as a player since my first spring camp with the team.

I want to thank Dustin Howden for doing everything he possibly could to help me improve as a player and a person, Myles Cathcart for giving me the opportunity to play for the Neepawa Natives, and Byron Billett for helping me with the recruitment process and making sure I ended up at a school that was right for me.” stated Metcalf. “I would also like to thank my amazing billet mom Mary Ellen Clark for everything she has done for me. She will forever be one of my best friends and I am truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to live with such an amazing woman.”

In a separate press release announcing Metcalf’s com-

mitment, MSU head coach Wade Regier said they are excited about landing a player with the hockey resume as impressive as his.

“With the loss of so many forwards up front to graduation, it was extremely important to add a player of Justin’s caliber. [Metcalf ] has been one of the premier goal scorers in the MJHL for the past couple of seasons. His biggest asset has been to make his teammates and linemates better.

It is these types of qualities we look for in our program.

We are expecting Justin to make an immediate impact in our lineup and help us accelerate the very large rebuild we are undertaking this offseason.”

In his final season with the Neepawa Natives, Metcalf had 66 points (28 goals, 38 assists) in 60 games. Over the entire course of his playing career with the MJHL club, Metcalf played a total of 181 regular season games, accumulating a total of 160 points (79G - 81A).

Time Restricted Eating - What, Why, and How

By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor

What is it?

Time restricted eating is one of the hottest topics in nutritional research with studies showing it is a great weight loss program, and it has positive effects for your body and brain.

Time restricted eating (TRE) is not a diet plan but a change in your pattern of eating. It is a pattern that cycles between eating and fasting, so you are not changing what you eat but when you eat. From an evolutionary perspective, our bodies are designed to fast. Only a short time ago we couldn’t open our fridge and have food readily available 24/7. Our bodies are designed to be able to not eat for extended periods of time and we are actually healthier if we do it. In this article I will be discussing the benefits of a simple TRE plan in which you include a fast in your day.

Why do it?

1. Decreases Some Cancer Re-occurrences Dr. Ruth Patterson, a professor and cancer researcher at UCSD, and other researchers have found up to a 36 percent less chance of breast cancer reoccurrence when restricting your eating for a 13 hour window. One of the main reasons for this is that our insulin levels drop when fasting and insulin is linked to breast cancer. We are less insulin sensitive at night and therefore do not handle sugars well. By simply not eating after supper till the

next morning, you can decrease your risk of breast cancer by a third! TRE also has an effect on all cancers because time restricted eating also has a positive effect for loosing weight and obesity is directly linked to increased cancer risk.

2. You Lose Weight Our body has a natural clock that is governed

by UV light called our circadian rhythm. This clock is driven by melatonin secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It is well know our wake and sleep times are governed by this however, recent research has found that there is also melatonin receptors in the digestive tract with a large collection of them in the pancreas. Our digestive tract is in sync with our brain clock and at night our gut naturally wants to take a break from digestion so that the

body can use the nutrients ingested for repair of the body. Melatonin lessens the effect of insulin and we don’t handle our sugars as well. When we eat at night we tend to handle our sugars poorly and they are more easily stored as fat.

We are also less active when sleeping and the brain and body aren’t demanding sugars to burn. Research shows that you can loose body fat, without changing the number of calories you ingest simply by not eating between supper and breakfast. Dr. Valter Longo and his team of researchers have found you can loose up to 5% body mass by simply fasting for 12 hours and not changing the total number of calories you ingest.

Another reason we lose weight while practicing TRE is that when we are in a fasting state our body burns fat not sugars. This is because our insulin has already dealt with the

body is in a mild form of ketosis and burns fat.

Another great reason to fast between supper and breakfast is the foods we typically eat after supper are high in sugars and bad fats including most snacks like chips, crackers, and alcohol. This is another one of the reasons why you can lose weight without changing what you eat but when you eat.

Leslie William Foxon Leslie William Foxon passed away Sunday, July 8th, 2018 at the Third Crossing Manor in Gladstone, MB surrounded by family. He is predeceased by his parents William and Iva, brothers Laurie and Jack, nieces Diane and Cathy, nephews Larry and Richard.

Les, the youngest son of William and Iva (Blight) was born Oct 2nd, 1928 in Gladstone. He was raised in the Golden Stream District with his brothers Laurie and Jack. His early education was taken there in a typical country school. Les remained at home after his schooling and enjoyed his days farming.

He cared for his father after his mother died in 1964 until his death in 1974. Les then moved into his home in Gladstone He was employed at various jobs around Gladstone, but found his true calling at the Gladstone Auction Mart where he was manager for 19 years.

Les was very happy working with livestock, but the true joy came from the lasting friendships he made there.

Les loved all sports including hockey and golf but his greatest passion was Baseball. From an early age Les was involved with the sport either as a player, coach or mentor. He loved every aspect of the game As Les's health declined he was still able to enjoy many of the things that made him happiest because of the wonderful support of the community and friends.

Les was so thankful that he was able to spend most of his latter life in his own home only having to spend a short time in the hospital and care home. Even though the time spent there was brief, he was very grateful for the wonderful care provided and the company he received and so enjoyed.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Gladstone Golf Course, the United Church or to the charity of your choice.

Paul leaves to mourn his son Richard (Jodi) Molloy, Langley, B.C., son in law Terry Lamontagne, Thompson, MB, grandchildren: Brian and Isaiah Lamontagne, Amber, Rachel and Christopher Molloy and great grandchildren Madison and Jaxon Kennedy. He is survived by his sister Elizabeth Boardman.

He was predeceased by his parents: Florence and Edward Molloy; wife Elizabeth Molloy and his daughter Christine Lamontagne.

Paul was born in St. John's, Nfld on July 6, 1945, the fourth of five children. He met and married his wife, Elizabeth, on June 3, 1968. Christine came along in 1970 and Richard in 1973. In 1974 the family moved to Thompson where Paul had begun working for Inco, and settled into life in the north, becoming part of a growing community.

Paul was very active in the community both on a personal level and for the good of the community. He volunteered tirelessly for the Kidney Foundation. He spent countless years in the rink with minor hockey and the North Stars.

Every year when the snow had melted enough to get a round in, you would find Paul at the Golf Club. In his later years he was very active with the Air Port Authority.

A celebration of life will held at St. Dominic’s Roman Catholic Church in Neepawa Manitoba. Friday, July 13th at 12:00 PM. Internment will follow at the Neepawa Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made in Paul’s memory to the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary. It was one of Paul’s favorite places to visit.

The family would like to thank all the nurses and staff at the Neepawa Health Centre and most of all the nurses and staff at Country Meadow’s Evergreen Wing who always took the best care of Paul.

For Sale Old heavy, printing equipment for removal

The Neepawa Banner and Press has four large pieces of steel equipment for removal including a large camera, a press plate burner, part of a linotype machine and a very heavy paper cutter.

Estimated total weight is over 4000 pounds.

The paper cutter is in running order. Items to be removed for use or scrap. The cutter is on the main floor, the other three pieces are in the lower level.

The plate burner can come out in one piece but the other three will have to be disassembled. This will not be an easy job or else it would have been done already.

We are willing to assist with some of the cost of removal as cost may exceed the scrap or useful value.

Please inquire at 204-476-6214 and ask for Ken

It will never be forgotten

I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to Jocelyn, Gail, Rochelle, Michelle, Dana and Alanna for planning a wonderful retirement celebration to end my 40 years of nursing, 34 of them in Neepawa and area with the Neepawa and District Memorial hospital, Marquette RHA, Assiniboine RHA and lastly Prairie Mountain Health. It was great to see so many past and present colleagues, members of my church family, members of committees I serve on (Touchwood Park, Palliative Care, Health Auxiliary) and of course the immediate family. Thanks for the many well wishes, cards and gifts I received. Thanks Dana for your creativity in making the picture guest book, it is a great remembrance. Also thank you to the Farmery, it was a great venue for such an occasion, to Lunch Money for providing the music and the Filipino youth for the dancing entertainment and singing. Nursing has been a very rewarding career for me and I have met many great people through it. Gratefully yours, Judy Gabler.

Landscaping needs vary by season Summer Summer landscaping is all about maintaining what was established in the spring. Regular mowing, weeding and trimming can keep a landscape manicured. Other than drought, weeds are perhaps the biggest lawn and garden nuisance to a landscape in the summertime. Black medic, carpetweed, knotweed, mallow and prostate spurge are some of the weeds that will crop up during the summer.

Seeds begin to germinate as soil warms up. According to the University of Maryland Extension, control with a broadleaf postemergent herbicide applied when the weed is actively growing will help prevent weeds from suffocating lawns.

an evergreen that blooms from fall to early spring and looks like pink roses. Heather is a popular plant in the United Kingdom, but is growing in popularity on this side of the Atlantic as well. The Home Depot says this plant blooms all year and offers beautiful flowers in summer and fall. In winter, the thick foliage makes for an appealing contrast to the more delicate blooms of other winter plants.

A colorful display at Minnedosa peony show PHOTOS BY CHRISTINE WADDELL

The annual Minnedosa Peony Show at the Ukrainian Hall was worth the drive. Entries were down a bit but 115 exhibits were there in their glory. The exhibits were recorded by Nactv and will be on the air once editing is complete.

More than peonies were on display at the Ukrainian hall in Minnedosa. Donna Hall (left) was extremely pleased to have her enormous allium blossom.

Allium is a close cousin to common chive plants whose blossom is only an inch across comes in all colours and sizes but this blossom elicited praise from the judges.
