By Kira McCormick-Adema The Neepawa Banner This summer, Kailyn Hanke was one of 150 students that were chosen to go to Ottawa for the Canada 150 & Me Youth forum.

Hanke, an NACI student, took part in one of the four regional forums, in Halifax, in May. The students who came from across Canada

arrived in Ottawa on June 24 and spent the next eight days learning, volunteering and presenting.

The students arrived on Saturday and had enough time to eat supper and then start a presentation. The presentation preparations stretched out, filling all

day on Sunday. The 150 students were split into a total of eight groups.

Hanke’s group made a five-minute video about diversity and immigration, which all included Francophone people, First Nations and immigrants.

On Monday, they had the National Forum and gave their presentations. Hanke said, there were a wide variety of other presentations.

Hanke said, it was a busy time but it was lots of fun and the rest of the time was educational but fun as well.

For the rest of the week, the students visited museums and got to meet the CEOs as well. One day, they went

on a two to three hour hike in Gatineau, across the Ottawa River, and volunteered and cleaned up the pathways. The students also tried Saudi Arabia food at

the Aga Kahn Foundation.

While there, the students were split into two groups for tours and programming.

One of the highlights for Hanke was the foundations

community garden, where they met immigrants who used the land to set up small urban farms. “I really loved it,” Hanke said.

Home Assistance Neepawa and District (HAND) recently organized a trip to the Arden Lansdowne Museum.

By Lea Heschuk HAND summer student On Thursday, July 13, residents of the Yellowhead Manor and Kinsmen Kourt visited the Arden Lansdowne Museum. The museum had many interesting artifacts and a wealth of information on the Arden area. The Arden Senior Crocus Club generously provided coffee and goodies to everyone on the trip after visiting the museum. Along with the museum, individuals on the trip enjoyed viewing

the Arden crocus, ox cart and Arden Park.

The trip was organized through HAND (Home Assistance for Neepawa and District). HAND offers support services to seniors in Neepawa and area. If you are interested in a local handy van day trip tour to the Arden Museum or a local area of interest, call HAND at 204-476-2009.

You can also visit the Arden Lansdowne Museum on Saturday or Sunday between 2-4pm until September long weekend at 414 Lansdowne Ave in Arden.

A very Canadian Canada Day

Continued from page 2 The students also got to be apart of the 150th Canada Day Celebration on Parliament Hill. They got to be back up dancers for Quebecois pop star Marie-Mai. Some of the kids actually were doing the dance moves and others got to wave colorful flags. Unfortunately it was raining in Ottawa on Canada Day, but lucky for the students be-

cause they got to use the Senate building as their green room for the performance. Backstage, the students got to meet athletes, astronauts and more. Overall, Hanke said, it was an awesome experience.

In just over two weeks, Neepawa residents banded together to help keep the community beautiful. Following the four incidents of offensive graffiti over the Canada Day long weekend, Neepawa Cares, a grass roots fundraiser was established. Messages were found on the Town of Neepawa welcome sign at the east end of town, the Royal Canadian Legion, the sidewalk at the flats and Lions Riverbend Park.

On July 17, a total of $426.75 was collected at drop off spots at Neepawa Golf Pro Shop, Neepawa Home Hardware and It’s Time. It was decided that $200 would be donated to the Legion and the remainder would be donated to the Town to help remove and repair recent vandalism or for use in future beautification projects. Additionally, if there’s any more clean up required, Home Hardware offered to donate paint, while Vincent Livingston, of Competitive Edge Painting, offered to donate his time.

Currently, the aim is to complete the repainting at Riverbend Park during the July 21 weekend.

A

Epidemic of secrecy

I

n the decades long crawl to make health care accessible and still stay within 40 per cent of the province’s budget, Manitoba governments have actually done a very poor job of containing costs.

The current Pallister government is finding that to hold the line on costs or to actually reduce costs is a pretty frustrating exercise.

We have all heard about health care staff cuts at the management level. There have been a number of cuts but in the accepted modern pattern of secrecy, nobody knows who they are. The regional health authorities hide behind the confidentiality wall and tell us that nobody can be identified as having their jobs cut. I call BS on that. The health care system is publicly funded by tax dollars.

Who gets paid, who does what and which jobs are cut, or expanded, or created should all be part of the public information domain. If we are paying the price, then we need to know where the money is going.

We don’t and apparently we won’t.

Facing that kind of communication stonewalling, the public can readily be excused for being skeptical about changes in health care. If we know what jobs were in existence and how they are supposed to work, we might be able to express an opinion on what’s going on. The way it is, we have no clue.

The RHAs are closed up tighter than Fort Knox. This newspaper asked the RHA for a simple breakdown of male and female workers and we were turned down. We had to file a Freedom of Information application to find out and the information was eventually released.

What on earth can be the secret about the number of male and female workers? All our editor wanted to do was to see how male/female ratios looked and it was in relation to an article about traditional men and women job roles. Apparently that’s top secret information. We did get a breakdown of how many positions there are in various categories, but the job titles aren’t really very

STAFF

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell enlightening in many cases.

On a side note, the one job title that really made me laugh is the Smoking Cessation Specialist.

That person apparently doesn’t help patients to learn how to quit smoking, they are to help staff quit smoking. All I can say is if someone in the health care field is too dumb to quit smoking, maybe they don’t want or need help. That we have to waste money on paying someone to convince anybody to quit smoking is ridiculous.

The government and the RHAs have had many studies done over the years but they usually refuse to release them. That is simply wrong.

We paid for them but we don’t get to read them? If there has been a publicly funded report, we deserve to see it. If the reports contains condemning evidence, we have the right to know that. If the reports contain evidence of a job well done, then we deserve to know that too.

The modern day levels of secrecy in governments, at all levels, will be the death of democracy.

Of late, the current Manitoba government seems to be scrambling every day to contain a new information crisis. These lapses in judgement are very troubling.

A new announcement comes out, followed by some howling by the public and the unions. After a few days, somebody is trotted out to say, “Well that isn’t what we meant”. Or, “That isn’t what we said”. Or, “That was a poorly worded letter.” Come on folks, you guys and gals have been politicians or civil servants for many years. Doesn’t anybody know

how to proof read or analyze the effect of a communications piece?

Many years ago, I read, in fact studied, a book on organizations. It contained some very clear advice.

It said that a company should fire their communications staff. Communications was the managers’ job. If the managers couldn’t communicate, then you should fire them too. If people in authority can’t speak, won’t speak or aren’t allowed to speak, then we have a major problem. This newspaper has experienced many instances where we have asked very simple, straightforward questions and we have been stonewalled. We get referred to communications staff who take days or even weeks to get back to us. We can ask when the highway ditches will be mowed and we have to wait days to get an answer from a communications specialist.

Come on governments, at all levels. It is our money you are earning, our money you are spending or hopefully saving. Speak out already.

What are you doing, why are you doing it and when will you do it.

What’s so complicated? If governments want to get voters, taxpayers and the news media to understand what is going on it would help if ministers, department heads or even front-line workers could actually say something of substance.

I, for one, am completely fed up with the secrecy, the botched communication and the stonewalling at all levels of government. We have an epidemic of secrecy at all levels of government in this country.

lot has changed in Canadian agriculture since 1977, but one thing that hasn’t is the rules that govern the transportation of livestock. In the last 40 years, not only have there been changes in how farm animals are transported, there has been more research into factors impacting their well-being, as well as an increased concern about their wel- MY fare. Since 2013, PERSPECTIVE the Canadian Food I nspection Agency has been working on Kate updating these rules and last Jackman-Atkinson December, the federal government released proposed changes to the Health of Animals Regulations. The proposed changes were open for comments until Feb. 15.

A major part of the regulations deal with the maximum times an animal can travel before a food, water and rest stop. The proposed changes would see a maximum travel time of 12 hours for nursing ruminants, from 18 hours; 24 hours for broiler chickens, spent laying hens and rabbits, from 36 hours; 36 hours for adult beef and dairy cattle, from 52 hours; and 28 hours for equines and pigs, from 36 hours. The maximum for day-old birds and adult monogastrics would remain, at 72 hours and 36 hours, respectively.

Depending on the species, once the animals reach their maximum travel time, they are offloaded for feed and water or fed and watered on specially outfitted trailers. Offloading poses risks, as it increases exposure to disease present in high traffic layover facilities and the additional handling increases the potential for stress and injury.

Canada’s travel times are longer than those in other countries, for example, in the United States, the maximum travel time for both ruminants and monogastrics is 28 hours, New Zealand varies between eight and 24 hours, depending on the age and the species, and the European Union limits travel time to eight hours, unless the vehicles are designed to provide water at all times and are climate controlled. The problem is that Canada’s landscape and economics are unique.

Canada is a thinly populated country covering a large area and different areas of the country have different strengths, which means that most animals must travel a long distance at some point.

For example, cow-calf operations require large areas of pasture, finishing operations require an easy and inexpensive supply of feed grains and slaughter plants require a large workforce and convenient transportation. Cheap land and a large workforce tend not to go together, which means at some point, many animals must undergo transportation from a more rural, to a more urban area.

Over the last 40 years, we have seen the consolidation of farms, but also packing plants. In 1976, there were 400 federal facilities processing beef, in 2015, there were only 30. Between south central Alberta and southern Ontario, there is just one federally inspected beef plant, Winkler Meats, which means most of the province’s cattle must travel a long distance. For example, it’s 24 hours from Brandon to Toronto and nine hours from Brandon to Brooks, Alta.

Based on their research, CFIA estimates that 98 per cent of shipments would be in compliance with the proposed requirements, but for some types of animals, that assumes good weather, limited slowdowns for construction and short stops for the drivers.

Everyone should be concerned about the well-being of animals and the proposed changes include some improved wording and a focus on outcomes, such as “preventing injury, suffering or death”, instead of specific guidelines. Outcomes that minimize the harm to animals are in everyone’s best interests, not only is this the humane thing to do, it also makes good business sense to see animals reach their destination in good health. We, Canada’s farming communities, need to ensure that the regulations benefit animals, while recognizing the unique realities of livestock farming in Canada.

Fading memories

hose who know me well know that I enjoy visiting cemeter ies — es pec i a l ly t he smaller ones that dot the landscapes of western Canada.

Two of them were on my itinerary the last time my wife and I visited family in Alberta. One is just outside Torrington—my mother’s birthplace. Her parents are buried there. The other is near Wetaskiwin, a few miles north of the farm on which my father was born.

His parents are bur ied there; along with his grandparents and several other close relatives.

It was while visiting the second cemetery that I was given an illustration of just how quickly the memories of those taken in death can fade. I had made my way to my grandfather’s grave. I had no trouble finding it— but I could hardly read it.

He died in 1963. Fifty-two years of erosion and extreme weather have taken their toll on what was once a beautiful memorial. In another 10 to 20 years, it may well be

I

Opinion

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein impossible to read.

As I stood there, I wondered how many of those who lived near that cemetery knew anything about my grandfather. He was a county councilor for many years. He was a faithful member of his church and was highly respected by his friends and neighbors. But most of those who knew him have now died and except for his children (only two of which are still alive) and older grandchildren, he has largely faded from memory—just like the writing on his gravestone.

One of my friends often reminds me ( jokingly, of course) that: “No one ever makes it out of this life alive.”

The Scriptures affirm this fact. In the opening words of the book of Genesis, the

writer lists the descendants of Adam. Every record is the same—he was born, he lived many years, he had sons and daughters and he died.

All that remains of them is their names. One day, the same words will be written about you and me—and the only long-term record of our existence will be a fading name on a gravestone.

But, for one generation at least, the memories of what we have done will remain in the minds of those who were closest to us. They will remember the example we set (good or bad), the lessons we learned as we faced the challenges of life and the acts of kindness we did for them and others. And we can only hope that they will share with their children what they learned from us.

Letters

So, the question we must ask ourselves is: “What do we want those closest to us to learn from us? What qualities of character, lifestyle and faith do we want them to see in us?”

In my lifetime, I have listened to scores of eulogies; each praising a person recently deceased for being a loving, caring and generous person. Those I remember most had two things in common. Those being eulogized had a deep love for God. That love was seen in the love, acceptance, respect, kindness and forgiveness they showed to everyone they met.

The best we can hope for in this life is that, by God’s grace and with his help, our lives will ref lect the same love for God and for others; and that the lives of those who follow us will do the same. If that happens, we can die in peace, knowing that we have lived well and that our legacy of faith and love will be clearly visible long after the writing on our gravestones has faded away.

Pause and ponder the wonder

t was just a few minutes past midnight. The day had been hot and humid, not my favourite type, so I decided to head out for a walk. The dogs were a little confused as I rousted then out of bed and encouraged them to come with me. It will be fun, really, I promised.

I clipped the leash to their collars, carefully locked the door and headed out.

I have always appreciated the quiet mystery of midnight.

Senses are sharpened and the vista is bathed with a new light. Sound and smell equal sight. As is my custom, I headed north to the railway street. Perfect night for the fireflies and after an initial reluctance to come with me, the dogs became willing to explore. The tiny twinkling lights used to be a cause for concern but by now it’s all old hat and they both respectfully sit, as I pause and ponder

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen the wonder. The flickering lights are intriguing but pale to the ‘night of the fireflies’ I experienced while living on the acreage. One late June night, I had stepped out on the east second floor landing and beheld a marvel. Fireflies as far as the eye could see, almost a ref lection of the great Milky Way spanning the night sky. So wondrous was the view that I entreated a grandson to come with me and walk among them. An hour of mystery.

Drinking my fill of the wonder, we continued east.

richer than any daytime fragrance offered. And then past the fresh cut alfalfa and clover. Again, my steps slowed, stopped. I stood there, breathing deeply of the life giving scent of winter fodder for the flock and herd. Rich and spicy, heady and heavy.

Even without the soft light of the moon, I would have known exactly where I was on the trail.

Knowing that I had walked my desired distance for the day, I briefly debated continuing my walk or retracing my steps. Again, my canine companions sat patiently waiting for me to make up my mind. I

really wanted to surround my senses with the wonder of the cemetery at midnight. And so we walked on. I was not disappointed. The petunias, relieved of the heat of the day, also drew deep breaths, and with each exhale the air was blessed with their fragrance.

The path is familiar, I know the solar lights lovingly placed to honour loved ones, I know the curve of the path and dark shadow of the towering pines.

Old friends, one and all.

We take the short loop and reluctantly turn homeward. It is not difficult to retrace my steps for each turn precious.

The scent, the sight, the night sounds. Henry Hoover leads us home, as is his custom.

Heading out, Miss Daisy pulls us forward but Hoover always wants to get back home. We enter our yard, unlock our door, and sated with the wonder of creation, we seek our beds.

You got the bait?

Filipino resilience Philippines is an archipelago west of the Pacific Ocean and is situated just above the equator. It lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire, along with other countries such as Taiwan, Japan and the Pacific sides of North and South America.

As climate changes, Philippine islands are the pathway of storms and it is the first barrier before typhoons hit mainland Asia. Each year, an estimated 20 to 30 typhoons pass to the country and devastate every corridor in its path. (By the way, storms that originate in the Pacific Ocean are called “typhoons” and the storms that came from the Atlantic Ocean are called “hurricanes”; some misunderstand the difference). Other than that, the country is also prone to strong earthquakes, as it lies within the Pacific Ring of Fire, thus, active volcanoes roar from land to the ocean.

The country experiences different kinds of calamities and two commonly know climatic occurrences are typhoons and earthquakes. In the events of havoc due to typhoons, many lives are lost, there is damage to agriculture, a meltdown of infrastructure and they ruin the economy. Last year, the country was hit by a strong typhoon with an international name “Haima”.

It hit the northern part of the country and damaged almost everything that stood in its path. Roads were impassable, communications were down and 70 percent of infrastructure was damaged. Just last month, an earthquake hit the eastern part of the country and again, it damaged infrastructure.

The victims of these tragedies find some way to make a livelihood, set-up temporary shelters, manage to find food and continue with what life has to offer. They have learned from the past experiences the essence of creativity and innovation to create a living. Amid the widespread of grief and despair, it was the courage of the Filipino people to fight back and rise to continue life.

Filipinos are accustomed to hardship. Thus, in the context of resilience, these people find it easy to standup from their knees as if nothing had happened. You can see them smile in events of tragedy. Filipinos conceptualize tragedies as part of life and fully accept the implications of it. Having the mentality of optimism, these people gradually standup, for they know that what was lost will be regained and tragedy can not keep them down.

The element of resilience of these people is the unquestionable religious faith that is their dynamic to move on and overcome the hurdles of life. It is the combination of positive outlook and hard work that helps rebuild and overcome tragedies. The Filipino spirit is unshakable, resolute, determined and stronger than what the strongest disaster has to offer.

A waste of time and money

Can any one tell me why the Town would put in a walkway around the Flats, and what’s with the wall?

I’m sure the money could be spent on fixing the water pipes or fixing the roads around town. In my opinion, that walkway and wall are a waste of money and time.

And there is a road sign telling people to walk on the left, facing oncoming traffic, when walking down the street.

And once again, I have to mention the cemetery in Neepawa. No flowers on the graves of veterans? Come on, don’t they deserve some respect? Top soil was brought in for some graves and the soil had seeds in it so there is a crop growing on the graves. Our cemetery used to be known as the most beautiful all around but that is not true of today. I heard that perpetual care is being phrased out what will happen to those graves with no family members left? What about the funds people have paid for that service? Will they be paid back?

Carberry Heritage, did you know?

NEPPAWA BANNER ARCHIVES

The chariot and horses are showing off at last year’s Heritage Festival.

Did You Know...

News, especially local, is the most read newspaper content, followed by arts/entertainment and health TRUSTED Ι CONNECTED Ι TARGETED

Submitted The Neepawa Banner Did you know Carberry’s Main Street has been declared a designated heritage district? The only one in Manitoba I might add! And to celebrate that and the heritage that Carberry and area is so proud of, came to the Heritage Festival! As we head to our fifth festival, we look back at our previous festivals and enjoy the fact that every year we have managed to grow!

What exactly is the Heritage Festival you might ask? It is a celebration of everything that is old! Life continues to change and grow, but that is not to say that what we once had wasn’t great. And so we want to share some of the ways from days gone by. From riding in a horse drawn carriage, to exploring the life of the North West Mounted Police living in a tent and cooking doughnuts over a fire. Learning about different guns such as the muzzle loader to watching hand crafting displays. Making old time recipes such as sour dough bread, or visiting the heritage breeds of animals.

Do you remember the old train station that we were so fortunate to have in this town? Well the Communities in Bloom people have brought part of it back to life and there will be a dedication ceremony. Join them and relive the past as you look at this replica!

Let’s throw in some entertainment, like Swamp Gas! Add a magician, some Scottish dancers and some local talent among others and we end up with a great line up of entertainment for the afternoon on Saturday. All in

the middle of the street, which somehow makes it feel even more heritage but also so much more enjoyable!

Make sure you come early so you have time to check out the vendors and displays. Something for everyone to buy and see! Whether you are interested in raptors or buying a pie, you won’t be disappointed. Barbeques and birthday cake, fresh lemonade and bonfire doughnuts, you won’t go hungry as you travel the street.

Oh and let’s not forget the fun for the kids. From laser tag to face painting, henna tattoos to bike parade!

We know your little ones will be kept busy!

Oh and did I mention the great things happening on Friday? Kicking off the festival is the Museum’s Strawberry Social. Oh my, if you want something delicious to eat, make sure you come and join us. Yumm!

The library will be celebrating their 50th birthday with some goodies and entertainment as well. After supper at one of our restaurants, you will want to come and enjoy the great music of Mark Morisseau!

Whether you are a two stepper or you just enjoy the fiddle music, you don’t want to miss this dance!

And that is the basics of the fifth Annual Carberry Heritage Festival! Fun for all, learn a little heritage and get a chance to visit with those you haven’t seen for a while. We hope you take this chance to step back in time for a day. Rent a costume or raid your attic! It is so much more fun in costume! And make sure you enter the costume judging. The best costume will win you some Carberry bucks!

See you on Main Street on August 11th and 12th!

Helen Drysdale out of helen’s kitchen

1944: Manitoba Hydro

This year Canada is celebrating 150 years since confederation (The Sesquicentennial).

I thought I would spend the next several months showcasing some historic recipes in Canada’s honour.

In the early 1900s a thermal-electric plant was installed, which supplied the town’s power requirements for many years. In 1944, Manitoba Hydro connected Neepawa to the provincial power system. Soon, hydro lines where going up through the country side, changing life on the farm for the better and forever. Brooder lights for the baby chicks, yard lights to make night work easier and safer, milking machines to get the milking chores done faster, water pumped at a flick of a switch; undeniably hydro was a labor saver. Electricity made life easier and more enjoyable for women with refrigerators, stoves, freezers, hot water heaters, toasters and a host of other new appliances. One of the favorites for the women was the electric mix master, it saved time and energy and it never had to stop and rest because its wrist or elbow was tired. If you have the chance, visit the Manitoba Electrical Museum and Education Centre in Winnipeg, which was created

by Manitoba and Winnipeg Hydro veterans. The array of older electrical equipment and the wonderful displays are educational, interactive and interesting. An excellent museum that covers the history of power development in Manitoba.

Today’s recipes come from an old Hamilton Beach cookbook, telling you all the marvellous things electricity and a mixer can do for you.

Manitoba Hydro’s ads could be found in cook books.

Cinnamon Squares Sift into the bowl of a Hamilton Beach mixer: 1 1/2 cups flour Add the rest of the ingredients: 1/2 tsp. salt 2 eggs unbeaten 2 tsp. baking powder 1/3 cup shortening, soft 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 cup milk 1 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla Mix at medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour into a greased 8”x11” pan. Sprinkle over top of batter a mixture of 3 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

Cottage cheese dressing Combine in small bowl of Hamilton Beach mixer: 1/2 cup cottage cheese 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. paprika

8 small pickles or olives 2 Tbsp. lemon juice 3 Tbsp. mayo

Beat at medium speed until ingredients are well blended.

Serve over salad greens.

Don’t just talk about crime, help make a difference Neepawa Citizens on Patrol Program Submitted

Following last week’s article about the Citizens On Patrol Program (COPP) in Neepawa, this week, we would like to explain to the general public the procedure any person wishing to become a volunteer member can follow.

Every officially organized group has specific criteria for its membership. Neepawa COPP has its own requirements and processes. This is necessary to ensure that the volunteer patrollers are cleared by the local police services. The COPP members will be the additional “eyes and ears” of the RCMP, so they must be approved by the detach-

ment commander.

Firstly, applicants must be at least 18 years of age.

There is no maximum age limit. The first step is to attend at the RCMP detachment office and fill out an application form. They will also have a criminal record check form to complete that requires a photo identification document – either a driver’s licence or passport.

This is very common when employees or volunteers enter into a position of public trust and safety.

Next, when a police clearance is completed, the application forms are forwarded to the Neepawa COPP Program coordinator. Each

applicant is interviewed and the program is explained in detail regarding the expected commitment of each volunteer patroller. Other COPP patrol procedures are discussed. The times for patrolling, the dates and the choice of patrol partners are discussed. A minimum of one patrol a month (three to four hours) is required from each patrol team.

For personal safety and recording and reporting purposes, members must patrol in pairs only. The members may walk, bike or use the COPP vehicle for their patrol (sometimes

in a combination).

After the interview is completed, the applicant is referred to both the program’s schedule coordinator (for a ride along experience with an established team) and the training coordinator, who conducts a short training session with new members.

After the training session, new members meet with the scheduling coordinator to choose a partner(s) and decide what day in the month best works for their team (example: second Friday of the month, etc.).

A monthly patrol cal-

Banner Your source for custom tickets!

endar is set up so each team knows when they are scheduled to patrol. They make arrangements with a COPP member, who looks after the vehicle, a few days in advance, so the necessary supplies are in the vehicle and the location of the keys are known.

The goal of the Neepawa COPP is to have a patrolling team for each day of the month. When the COPP was formed in Neepawa in 1997, we had 29 teams, so it’s not impossible to reach this goal again.

Remember, it’s only one day a month for a three to four hour patrol to assist the local police services in making the Town of Neepawa safer from the people who commit a variety of offences against our residents. Let’s not get upset and just talk about the incidents of crime happening in Neepawa, but let’s band together and participate in a well organized, successful crime deterrent program. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Happy 150th Canada

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY JODI GINTER

Jake and Leona Ginter celebrated Canada’s 150th birthday in a very special way, as they planted what appear to be petunias in the style of our nations’ flag.

The Ginter family’s ancestors immigrated to Canada from Russia via the Allan Steamship Line in 1874 and were very proud to celebrate the 150 as a Canadians.

Heritage flashback - Welcome to Neepawa

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The eastern path into Neepawa, circa 1900: Left of centre in the distance is the new Central School, built in 1898, where Safeway is today, and at far left is the Davidson home, the “Castle” on the hill [1895]. The primitive road wound its way around bush as it climbed up the hill from the bottom of the marshy valley where the Stoney and Boggy creeks come together to form the Whitemud River. The first road directly down the town hill was created in 1935. The cluster of buildings on the right is the original town centre at Hamilton St. and Walker Ave. The building in the far right background is the old hospital.

Obituary Leonard Emil John Tereck June 24, 1942 – June 5, 2017 Len was born June 24, 1942 in the small family home along the Riding Mts. To parents Steve and Katie Tereck.

The eldest of 4 children, he first attended Mtn. Eve School speaking no English, only Ukrainian. He quit Grade 9 to help on the family farm although farming was not to be his choice.

Leonard married Mary Grimstead of Amaranth, MB on July 6, 1968 and they lived 49 years on the same scenic acreage along the Park. A family of three, Tracey, Troy and Ryan was his main course in life and spoiling his grandchildren Dustin and Shayna Poncsak was his dessert. Time was a precious commodity but there was always some to set aside for nifty building projects in the shop!

Leonard worked long and hard with his brother Barry and his crew as Tereck Builders. Always fair minded and reliable, he'd go the extra mile to meet his standard of quality. It saddened him so to lose his health and feel his strength wane as his heart condition worsened. But he continued to be an advisor to anyone needing a good, solid opinion in his trade.

Leonard had a passion for flying and did so in his Cessna 170 sharing his view of the wild blue yonder with many.

Peace was found in picking saskatoons, pipenki, making head cheese, sauerkraut soup and sausage. The elm tree was nearly sacred to him!

As a dad and grandpa, Len liked setting out on the weekend for a drive and just seeing where it took us.

Many memories were born that way and how thankful we are for that!

A Celebration of Life was held June 16, 2017 at the McCreary Community Centre.

Martha Reiner Martha was born on June 16, 1925 in the Tupper District to Jake and Caroline Schmidt.

She ventured out to work at the age of 16 where she worked at various places locally, as well as in Winnipeg and Neepawa. She decided that city life wasn’t her dream and returned home. Martha married Joe Reiner on June 19, 1958. They settled on Joe’s father’s farm and enjoyed raising cattle and Martha took pride in her flower and vegetable gardens.

Joe passed away on March 12, 1996. In 2000, Martha moved off the farm and bought a house in Plumas. She later moved to Third Crossing Manor in February 2013, where she enjoyed the last years of her life and resided there until her passing. In addition to farm life, Martha had a love for animals, music and visits from family and neighbors. Whenever someone would visit, she was sure to see they didn’t leave hungry and was famous for her banana cream pies. Martha was fortunate to live to celebrate her 90th birthday with many of her family and friends which she fondly talked about and remembered.

Martha was predeceased by her parents Jake and Caroline, sister Ann, brothers Valdine, Ernie, Alfred and Norman. She is survived by her brother Edwin, sister in laws Gladys and Louise and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the staff at Third Crossing Manor for their care and attention to Martha during the years she lived there.

Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 2:00 pm at the Zion Lutheran Church, Plumas with Interment at the Plumas Cemetery.

Happy 84th Birthday Alfred! - July 23rd

Obituary Mary Schmidt Gillich McDonald Mary was born on November 25, 1920 in Vamos, Somadyemegye, Hungary.

She passed away on Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at Country Meadows Personal Care Home, Neepawa.

Mary immigrated to Spriritwood, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1930 at the age of 10 years. She married Balthazar “Bill” Gillich in 1936, and they moved to Cathcart, Ontario in 1938. They were blessed with 2 sons, Henry in 1940 and Walter in 1941. They moved to Plumas, Manitoba in 1950, and in 1957, Bill passed away.

In 1969, Mary married Jim McDonald of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. They had met in Kitchener, Ontario while doing hospital work. They retired to Plumas.

Mary was a woman of fierce determination and a will to survive. Throughout her life there were many challenges but she defeated them all. Still, she always found time to work with her plants – she had a green thumb. Her back yard was always a park in the summer, with roses in all the corners, as well as cherry and apple trees. She was forever pinching branches from plants to start new ones at home. She also loved petit point, crocheting and ceramics.

Mary was predeceased by her parents Maria & Peter Schmidt; husbands Bill Gillich and Jim McDonald; son Walter John; sister Eva Schmidt Weber; brother in law Andrew Weber and grandson Blaise Gillich. She is survived by her son Henry Gillich (Lillian) and their children Greg (Lori), Gary, and Karen.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ducks Unlimited or Winnipeg Humane Society.

Funeral Service will be held on Monday, July 17, 2017 at 2:00 pm at the Plumas United Church with Wendy Denbow officiating. Interment will follow at the Plumas Cemetery.

6) It brings opportunities for Christian service. 7) If we use the day as God intends, it will provide strength for the week’s activities. John G. Roberts

Gladstone 4-H submission tops the region

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Top: First place at Portage Fair: The 4-H story, 1913 to 2017, is an important part of the Canada 150 story. Boys and Girls Clubs became 4-H Clubs; projects changed with changing times; members continue to “learn to do by doing;” and use their head, heart, health, and hands to become leaders in their clubs, their communities and their country.

Right: Proud 4-H member artists display their finished canvas and enjoy a well deserved treat. Pictured from left: Mandy Anderson, Rylee Wiebe, Kolby Wiebe, Kayden Kasprick.

The 63rd annual Manitoba Thresherman’s Reunion and Stampede will be held in Austin, MB, July 27 to July 30. They have a variety of fun filled activities planned day-to-day and rare pieces of machinery will be appearing at this event. History will feel like the present during the Thresherman’s Reunion.

The event is put on by the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, home to Canada’s largest collection of vintage agricultural equipment. During the reunion, all of the museum’s exhibits will be open, as well as other vintage items from other collections brought in from across Manitoba and more, just for this event.

This year’s theme is in celebration of 180 years of John Deere, presented by Enns Brothers, and there will be demonstrations of many functioning steam engines and gas-powered machines from decades ago. There are multiple John Deere collectors that will be at the Thresherman’s Reunion with pieces from their own collections.

There will be activities for the children, live music, rodeo, a parade and so much more. At the Thresherman’s Reunion there is something for all ages to enjoy.

A 1924 John Deere D loaded for the 180 Years of John Deere event at the 2017 Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede. The John Deere Model D tractor was first tractor badged as John Deere. John Deere previously had built and sold the Waterloo Boy tractor. Production of the D got underway in 1923 and soon sales of the D were in the thousands establishing John Deere as a force in tractor manufacturing. The Manitoba Agricultural Museum expects that a number of private collectors will be bringing pieces like this one to the 180 Years of John Deere. The 2017 Reunion is going to be a great show and one that you should not miss!

The Municipality of North Norfolk welcomes everyone to The Threshermen’s Reunion.

Congratulations from the Mayor and Council
