It was a winning weekend for Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) at the MILK Provincial Track & Field Championships. On Saturday, June 9, NACI claimed the “AAA” championship banner. This title is the first provincial crown that the Tigers have claimed in track and field since 2002, when they captured the-then rural championship in both the varsity girls’ and junior varsity boys’ divisions. NACI accumulated 93 points in the team competition. NACI coach Br yce Koscielny said that the team had a lot of athletes do quite well in a wide variety of events. “Ben Perrett, Lara Denbow and Rylee Gluska all placed first in their events and we had a few silvers as well, and lots of top eight performances to be proud of. It was great to see so many of our athletes put up new personal best performances when it mattered most,” noted Koscielny.

“It’s really exciting for our team to have done so well this year. We’ve never won a Track and Field Championship, so it’s definitely a great way to end the season.
Hopefully, it also encourages a lot of our athletes to keep working hard to improve.” As for those notable individual efforts, Ben Perrett,

The 2016 Canadian Census of Agriculture recorded 20,140 farm operators and 14,791 census farms in Manitoba. Only 37 of them provided input into the upcoming changes the province’s Agricultural Crown Lands (ACL) program, which took places earlier this year. Manitoba Agriculture released the report, compiling stakeholders’ feedback, earlier this month. The consultation process MY began in Feb- PERSPECTIVE ruary and included 14 meetings with stakeholders. These meetings were Kate predominately Jackman-Atkinson invitation only, but participants and the general public were asked to share their views via written submissions, which were due April 6. The upcoming changes aren’t minor, but will have a profound impact on how Crown Land for hay and grazing is allocated, how it can be used and how much it will cost going forward. These changes will predominantly impact Manitoba beef cattle producers, of which there are 5,730, yet so few made their thoughts and concerns known. There are about 1.45 million acres of land that the provincial government rents or leases to individual farmers for grazing or hay production and another 11,000 acres leased for cropping. Starting this fall, leases will be open to Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents, not just Manitobans. The bigger change, however, is that instead of a points-based allocation system, forage leases will be awarded by tender starting this year. In 2020, rental rates for existing leases will change to a market-based price. While stakeholders brought up a number of issues related to ACL leases in the meetings and written submissions, the government was looking for feedback to help with policy development on eligibility requirements and implementation of the forage tender process. While the Province had already decided on the framework under which the new ACL system will operate, there were still a lot of details yet to be finalized with input from the public. These include questions such as, how many animal units and acres of private land a leaseholder can have? Who can apply? How long should the term length be? What, if any, alternate uses, will be allowed? There were even questions about how the tendering process will be conducted, such as, how will prices be set? Will there be an option to re-tender? To what extent will the tenders be made public? Will there be minimum or maximum bid amounts? The answers to these questions will have a profound impact on who obtains Crown Land, how producers can use it and the role this land will play in the cattle industry’s future. Only 37 producers took the time to share what they did and didn’t want to see from a revamped program aimed at helping them. The report summarizes the responses submitted by current and prospective clients. It provided no clear-cut information about the new eligibility requirements or tender process. Even within such a small group, there was a variety of feedback, much of it reflecting a split between those who already have ACL and those who don’t, as well as large versus small producers. Common concerns centered on transparency, fairness and meeting the needs of those who use the land. Additionally, respondents expressed concern over the potential for speculative price increases, uncertainty regarding subsequent years’ rate increases and the need to take into account regional differences in land values. For many farmers, access to ACL remains an important part of their operation’s present and future. The need to update the program to reflect the realities of today’s livestock operations was needed, it’s a shame that so few people took the opportunity to make their thoughts and needs heard, to develop a system that will work for those who use it. Instead, we’ll hear complaints in coffee shops and around kitchen tables.

Surviving the employment challenge
o —high school graduate; you’ve finished public school and you’re ready to embark on the next phase of your life. Let’s fast forward about five years. You’ve completed some post-secondary education. You’ve gained work experience along the way and you are now ready to go out and get your first full-time, well-paying (hopefully) job in your chosen field or profession. This won’t be the only time you will look for work. You will probably change jobs several times before you finally retire. Some job changes will come thanks to choices you have made. Others will be forced upon you; hopefully for reasons other than your own poor job performance. So here are two suggestions that I hope will help you survive and thrive in the on-going game of finding, securing and keeping gainful employment. First, treat every new job as an “entry level job,” because it is. You’ll be working for a new boss, in
A
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein a new office, with a new job description and new colleagues, most of whom you will have never met. Your first task will be to discover how your skills and abilities complement those of the others who share this workspace with you. That won’t happen overnight. It will take at least three to six months; which is why most firms have a three to six month probation period for new employees. It gives the employer time to see how well you will fit in with the existing work force. And it gives you time to decide whether or not to make a long-term commitment to this job and this firm. If you or your employer decides to terminate the employment during the probation period, it can be done quite easily without
damaging either your integrity or that of the firm that hired you. So whenever you begin a new job, even if you will be doing the same things you did in the job you left to take this new one, make it your first priority to get to know the expectations of the firm that hired you and the people you will have to work with. You will greatly enhance your chances of success by doing so. Second, learn to find significance in tasks you won’t enjoy doing. Every job has its share of them; and you will have to do them all at one time or another. Most of you will start out working for a small business. You may be its only full-time employee; so in addition to answering phones and serving customers, you will also
be expected to wash floors and clean toilets—tasks that few people I know enjoy doing; but tasks that, when done well, create a safe job site for workers and a welcoming atmosphere for customers who patronize that business. By finding meaning in the mundane tasks of life, we will find the motivation we need to do them well. Those who do them well prove that they can be trusted with greater responsibility and work with less supervision; both of which are qualities an employer likes to see in a worker. This is where your faith will stand you in good stead. Let God help you see the significance of every task you will be assigned each day. Then, complete it as though you were working for him—because, in fact, you are. God is the source of your skills and abilities. He expects you to use them for his glory and to help make your corner of his world a better place in which to live.
My kind of day...
play day was exactly what I needed. I puttered about the yard, mounted a bird house designed for robins in the big front tree. You know that is a simple sentence, but it involved hauling the step ladder, the drill and a long cord to the front yard. Allowing the dogs more time outdoors, I dug dandelions for a bit. I met my youngest sister in Portage and after a leisurely lunch we wandered over to a green house. So much to see and so many ideas! I practiced restraint – only two modest purchases, one of which was a metal bird house shaped like a little barn. [I had many bird houses on the acreage and left the ones for the tree swallows. Little did I know that tree swallows like to live in town.] The ride home was pleasant, watching the farmers
HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen and the fields, although more than once I lamented the fact that shelter belts are being methodically removed. I reflected that we are more than three generations away from the reason for the shelterbeltsthe Dirty Thirties- and somehow the lesson has been forgotten. As a planter of trees I know how long it takes for trees to grow, and especially when the seasons are dry and windy. I longed for companionship for supper so I picked up fast food, headed over to a friend’s home, and came away with a dozen large gladioli corms. Back home before seven and heady with
the longer daylight hours, I set to work. First I carefully planted the corms, and with the sun far from setting, I got to work ‘planting’ my sun dial. It stood a faithful sentinel in the garden at the acreage. My friend had meticulously assessed the exact position of the dial to depict the correct time. Not so for me. The dial sits atop a part of a veranda post, still painted green to match the veranda posts on the acreage. It needed to be sunk at least four feet into the earth. Thankfully I have a long handled spade. I believed it was planted straight, until a friend informed me that one needs to view the post
from more than one angle. Who knew? With a closer and more detailed review, the post lists slightly to the north, but I see it from the south – so it doesn’t matter! The bird house I had purchased was designed to be hung. I don’t want my home swinging in the wind so I project that neither would a mama bird. Another project! I managed to drill a hole into the back. Tried three different bit sizes until I had the opening the size I thought I needed. The plan was to drill a long screw into the apple tree- a metal home must be well shaded! - and then fit the screw into the hole. Cat fish! The home still swayed and swung! Back to the garage for a possible solution. Light weight twine. It took a bit but I got the home snugged against the trunk of the apple tree. My kind of day.

Observation
By Addy Oberlin This month my calendar is filling up quickly with extra activities and commitments. Had an out of town medical appointment, taking in some extra opportunities to make music and going to grandson’s College graduation. Then this weekend we can enjoy the entertainment and taste the foods of the different countries that are represented at the Folkfest. These are only a few appointments that I need and want to keep. I was thinking how God can remember all the ups and downs that are going on in our life. He knows “when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar” (Psalm 139:2). We can try to hide from God’s presence but “His eyes watch the nations” (Psalm 66:7) and Jesus tells us in Matthew 10:29-31 that not one sparrow will fall to the ground without Him knowing about it and that we are worth more than many sparrows. We need to live just one day at a time, let the Lord have His way in our life. He will guide and direct us if we but let Him.
Letters
A swimming response
In response to concerns raised in the greater community, and a letter to the editor entitled “Treading Water”, (Neepawa Banner & Press June 8 edition) The Town of Neepawa finds it necessary to communicate the following information in order to facilitate a greater understanding of the operations of a swimming pool. This information will hopefully provide the rationale of why the public may observe changes to services offered at the pool…and of course why the Town is not physically able to host the school swimming programs this year. Each and every operator of a public swimming pool is required to comply with Provincial Regulation 132/97 of The Public Health Act, which amongst other things, sets out minimum requirements for lifeguards, assistant lifeguards and lifesaving stations. Where fewer than 31 bathers (swimmers) are present, a minimum of two (2) persons are on duty at all times the pool is open, including one Qualified Lifeguard on deck and one other person on deck or in the immediate vicinity of the pool who is at least 16 years of age; holds a current CPR Level C certificate and First Aid; and is knowledgeable about the pool’s emergency procedures and instructions. Of course, increases in the number of bathers beyond 31 requires additional qualified staff as provided for in Schedule C of Regulation 132/97. Continued on page 23

Valley residents demand a fair election! Mary Ann Tinkersly sat one row to my left and one seat ahead of me in algebra class during the spring of 1998, and no amount of studying was going to make up for the confusion she created in my brain cells each day during fourth period. In June, Mary Ann and I began walking our lambs together in anticipation of the judging at the upcoming Spring County Fair. My lamb, Archibald, was looking fit. Mary Ann’s entry, Snowf lake, was in pristine condition by the time August rolled around and was a favorite to win. The most memorable days of my growing up years occurred in late August 1998. The anticipation was palpable as three historically significant events converged at one time and in one place. First, the mayoral election. Everyone expected the election to be concluded prior to kicking off the county fair on Wednesday. But there we were, still listening to Raymond Cooper broadcast the evils of the Bank of Canada, as well as those of his opponent. The front page of The Lennox Valley Hometown News, normally filled with stories related to fair competitions and visiting celebrities, was filled with articles about the previous week’s ballot count and Juliet Stoughton’s decision to bow out of the upcoming run-off, allowing “Silver Tongue” Dick Bland to face Raymond Cooper “mano a mano.” Second, the scheduled appearance of Tangi Blevins and the Heavenly Hosts Friday night at the fair. Each year in late August, most of the excitement, especially among the Valley’s female population, was reserved for the lineup of pseudo-celebrities who made
their way through the county fair circuit, and 1998 was no exception. Not since “Mr. Sound Effects” Wes Harrison visited Spring County in 1983 had a celebrity of this stature made an appearance. It was hard to imagine which was subject to more discussion, the fair or the election, as Wednesday began. Iris Long, editor of the Hometown News, wrote as much in her weekly editorial. “Every town,” Iris began, “deserves a week each year to take a break from the ordinary. What better way than to watch our youth display their prize-winning animals, ride a Ferris wheel, or see our favorite entertainers in person?” “This week,” she continued, “we will enjoy our fair, but at the same time we have important business at hand.” She was, of course, writing about the mayoral election. “Let me suggest,” she wrote, “we face reality and see Raymond Cooper for who he really is.” She went on to detail Cooper’s antics, from the egg price-fixing scheme to his conversion at the Lutheran church. “Join me,” she continued, “in voting for Dick Bland for mayor of Lennox Valley.” She concluded her editorial, “When election day is over Thursday evening, we can all take a collective breath and enjoy our children, our fair and our community in the way they are meant to be enjoyed.” The third memorable event was, of course, the livestock judg-
ing. As much as I had prepared for this day, in my heart I wanted Mar y A nn to win. As I sat in my stall trimming the wool on Archibald’s legs, I could see Mary Ann brushing Snowf lake after bringing her in from a bath. The livestock were kept in a barn next to the Pavilion, which housed displays from gutter companies, real estate agents and the Massey Ferguson dealer from Springfield. The Pavilion was usually relatively quiet, with folks walking through to look at displays and fill out cards, hoping to win a used car, ironing board, or some other valuable prize. The fair gates opened on Wednesday at 11 a.m., allowing folks to wander through and look over livestock before competitions began at 2 p.m. Generally, not much happened before the competitions, but this was no normal year. At noon there seemed to be a commotion in the Pavilion, and everyone began to head that way. When I got to the Pavilion, I could barely believe my eyes. There was Raymond Cooper, beginning his live broadcast of “Renderings with Raymond” from the Spring County Fair. As an excited fair-goer handed her baby to the candidate, Raymond pronounced, “You know, I’ve heard Dick Bland doesn’t like babies.” Seated at a table next to the standing Cooper, Marvin Walsh bellowed, “I heard he hates puppies and kittens, too!” The Good Folks of Lennox Valley is a feature that previously appeared in the Neepawa Press and will run weekly in the Neepawa Banner & Press.

Greek Pizza
When you think about Greek dishes, the first thing you think of is olives. Olives are huge in Greek food culture. There are many varieties of olives; from green to black, from Peloponessos to Kalamata, there is an olive for every single person. Olives and olive oil are used in almost every dish in Greek cuisine, as an ingredient, salad dressing or garnish. Some olives are picked unripe, while others are allowed to fully ripen on the tree. Olives straight off the tree are hard and bitter. Curing is what removes the bitterness. Water curing, brining, dry curing and lye curing each yield distinctly different flavors and textures. I do not eat olives except in Greek recipes and they are axiotháv m ̱ astos (wonderful) in this recipe for Greek pizza. Herbed pizza crust: 1 Tbsp. oil 1 cup warm water 2 1/2 cups of flour 1 Tbsp. sugar 2 tsp. LITEHOUSE 1 tsp. salt oregano herb Sauce: 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 small can tomato 1 tsp. LITEHOUSE paste oregano herb Topping: olives or less to taste 2 cups fresh spinach, 2-3 slices of sweet onwashed ion, coarsely diced slices of thinly cut 2-3 tomatoes, coarsely pepperoni(optional) diced 1 cup crumbled feta 6-8 washed and sliced cheese or more to taste mushrooms 5-6 fresh basil leaves, 1-2 cups mozzarella sliced cheese 2/3 cup sliced black In a 2 cup measuring cup mix the water, sugar, salt and oil together well. In a bowl mix 2 cups of the flour, herb and instant yeast. Add the water and mix until it forms a ball. Add more flour if necessary. On a floured surface knead dough for 5 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. Grease 2 pizza pans and divide dough and press the dough into pans. Mix the sauce ingredients together and spread on the dough. Place toppings on the pizzas in order given. Bake at 425° oven for 15-20 minutes.

Lessons learned at Farm Safety Day
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
Agriculture is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. The most recent federal report indicates that there are 85 fatalities, on average on Canadian farms every year. While that number is a grim reality for the industry, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), along with support from the Neepawa UCT and the Beautiful Plains Ag Society, are doing everything they can to ensure that our area’s youth understand the danger and avoid the risk. On Thursday, June 7, just over 300 people, including 265 grade five and six students from Neepawa and Carberry participated in the biennial Progressive Agriculture Safety Day. This educational event, which was held at the Beautiful Plains Agricultural Fairgrounds, aimed to inform children about all the potential dangers that can pop up on the farm. In total, 16 safety stations were set up examining topics ranging from care around machinery to fire and water

265 students from Neepawa and Carberry gathered at the Beautiful Plains Agricultural Fairgrounds on Thursday, June 7 for Progressive Agriculture Safety Days. The event occurs every second year and is focused on educating youth on potential safety risks in and around the farm.
safety and much more. EMS immediate care pa r a med ic a nd event co-coordinator Theshia Hobson said that at the
end of the day, they hope the youngsters are mindful of the variety of dangers that exist. “We were pleased with
the response from the kids. They were very receptive to all of the sessions and I think part of the reason for that was that the presenta-
tions were very interactive,” stated Hobson. “This [information] is something they can take with them and use not only in an
agricultural setting but in every aspect of their lives.” A variety of businesses and organizations took the time to send representatives, including the Neepawa UCT, who had 15 members who volunteered as part of the day. UCT member Darlene Gillies of the organization is proud to be an ongoing part of this valuable day, noting that the interactive components at each station are what ensures the children are engaged. Gillies also extended thanks to all presenters, chaperones, teachers, bus drivers, EMS instructors and all the 15 UCT members who prepared the food and representatives from the Neepawa Natives hockey club, who helped with the barbecue. Progressive Agriculture Safety Days is a national effort, looking to provide education, training and resources to make farm, ranch and rural life safer and healthier for children and their communities. For Neepawa and area, this event has been going on for nearly 20 years.

1978: Retired teachers honoured at banquet Banner Staff Neepawa Banner & Press
80 years ago Tuesday, June 14, 1938 Work has commenced on the rebuilding of the C.I.L Neepawa Salt Limited Plant Warehouse recently damaged by f ire. The staff of workmen is clearing away the debris of the burned portion but the new warehouse will be situated just west of the site of the old one.It was found that the machinery of the centrifugal drying system was not damaged by the fire beyond repair and it will soon be operating again. It is expected that production will start again before the end of the month. 70 years ago Thursday, June 17, 1948 The local ball club took on Plumas, winners of the Gladstone tournament, Tuesday night and won by a score of 11-2. After a shaky start, Bob Barker settled down to pitch real ball. Pete Loiselle and Dick Guinan made two spectacular catches in the fourth inning to rob Plumas of two hits. Batteries for Neepawa were pitcher Baker and Rush, Catcher Inverarity. For Plumas, pitchers R. Poitstras and Hanke, catcher McFadden. The local boys did not find Poitras too tough, and fattened their batting average at his expense, until he was yanked and replaced by Hanke, whose slants seemed harder to hit. Neepawa entered the two teams at the Gladstone Tournament last week, the Juniors losing a close first game to McGregor and the seniors winning their first game but losing to Plumas in second. 60 years ago Friday, June 13, 1958 Both the town of Neepawa and its Air Cadet squadron made a favourable impression on Air Commander H.H.C Rutledge when he visited here on Wednesday for the annual inspection of the local cadets. Commander of No.14 Training Group, which takes in all stations from the head of the Lakes
to the Rockies, is the highest ranking officer ever to come here for inspection. He told the young airmen at the father and son banquet, held in the United Church following the afternoon inspection, that he was very pleased with the turnout and the boys’ performance. It was during a tour of the town that he expressed his pleasure with what he saw. 50 years ago Friday, June 14, 1968 Construction of a new 22-suit apartment block in Neepawa has moved a step closer to reality this week, with the calling of tenders for general contracting and sub-contracts for the structure. It is hoped that a start on the construction of the building can be made early in July and officials anticipate the building will be ready for occupancy late this fall. The apartment block is to be of wood and stucco construction and will be a two story building measuring approximately 150 feet by 50 feet. It will be located on the northeast corner of Mountain Avenue and Brydon Street in Neepawa. 40 years ago Thursday, June 15, 1978 Beautiful Plains School Division Board honoured four retiring teachers with a banquet last Monday in recognition of their long years service in this division. NACI principal Ivan Traill, Riverside Colony teacher Annie Lamb, Arden teacher John Toews and Hazel M. Kellington school music teacher Peggy Smith are all retiring from the teaching profession although none of the four are “retiring” in the usual sense of the word. Ivan Traill is ending 10 years as principal of Neepawa Area Collegiate and 26 years in the teaching profession to enter into private business as a commercial meat processor, here in Neepawa. Mrs. A nnie Lamb got into the teaching profession a little differently than most. She explained that she grew up during the depression “when my parents couldn’t afford to send me to school.” She took grades nine and ten
by correspondence, got married, and it was only later, after the death of her husband in1954 that she decided to get herself through that tough period by studying seriously once again to fulfill al life long ambition to be a teacher. John Toews is moving to Swift Current to pursue a full time career in the ministry. He came initially to Arden as a church pastor 11 years ago. He also went back to complete his schooling after his marriage, eventually completing his grade 12, and receiving his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education. Mrs. Peggy Smith is leaving the teaching profession after 12 years of mini-musicals, festival programs, concerts and classes. She has taught in Beautiful Plains for 12 years and has taught 17 years in total. 30 years ago Tuesday, June 14, 1988 A cooperative ef fort between A & W Rootbeer (Beverage Services) and Lucerne Ice Cream (Canada Safeway) will provide Root Beer Floats for sale to the public in Neepawa on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, July 7,8 and 9. This cool and refreshing treat will be available at your local safeway store for the donation of $1 to Easter Seals. Every dollar earned will be donated to the Manitoba Easter Seals Fund. The Society for Manitobans with Disabilities Inc. administers this fund to provide service to children with physical disabilities. Last year $11, 000 was raised through this project. What is the money used for? The Easter Seal Fund helps in the planning and coordinating of service to individuals from infancy to school leaving age as they struggle to gain maximum independence in their community. That struggle may acquire for them the opportunity to participate with their peers in swimming, camping, and educational and recreational programs – things most kids take for granted. Giving to the Easter Seal Fund supports these fighters and makes it possible for them to be the best they can be.

his establishment. Jamie Betle, who was the owner of Sprucewoods Pizza and Sliders Lounge was charged after Manitoba Conservation received an anonymous tip in 2004. Betle received a warning, but said he wouldn’t stop people from lighting up because he felt the law was stupid. Betle’s case in Brandon
provincial court was adjourned until the Manitoba Court of Appeal heard the Robert Jenkinson case. Jenkinson, a Treherne bar owner, was fined $2,500 for letting patrons light up. He’d argued, that as a nonaboriginal, he was being discriminated against. Betle has since sold his business and moved to Regina.

Gardens of Glenella By Jessie Klassen Submitted
We are happy to announce that what began as an idea only last February has now become reality with the implementation of four, 4 x 16 raised gardens. The goal and focus for the gardens is educating children in our school about where healthy food comes from and how it is grown, as well as encouraging fitness and a connection with nature. These are “hands on” gardens, where the learning experience of getting hands dirty is encouraged, and so they were planted by the kindergarten to grade 8 students. It has been exciting to watch our plants pop up through the dirt! Watering and tending chores also falls upon the students and the Green Team will water the gardens during the summer months. The produce grown will be available to the students and the school snack program, the home economics class, as well as open to community members, such as our seniors, throughout the summer months to help themselves to vegetables that are ready. We also have a composter, so the children are learning how to turn their lunch scraps into nutrient-rich soil for their gardens. As we are encouraging healthy lifestyle choices, the

SHOWCASE 2018
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press
The clay targets were f lying through the air recently and it was for a good cause during the Neepawa Wildlife Association’s (NWA) ninth annual clay shoot. The event, which featured over 50 shooters, was held on Sunday, June 3 and served as a fundraiser for the club. In total, just over $2,000 was raised, through a combination of registrations, sponsorships and donations. NWA member Bryan Bramley said those proceeds will actually be split evenly between the club and #317 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron Strathclair. “There were several members of the squadron who volunteered their time to be a part of the day’s festivities and we were very appreciative of their support,” said Bramley. “We feel it’s very important each year to use a portion of the proceeds to assist another local group, and this year, we as a group thought supporting the [#317 Air Cadets] was very worthwhile.” Bramley added that the NWA was very thankful for all the local businesses that either donated to making the day a success either through a sponsorship or through donation. As for the event itself, Bramley noted that it wasn’t about competing against one another, but rather about challenging yourself. He also added that the NWA was very thankful for all the local businesses that either donated to make the day a success, either through a sponsorship or through donation.

Many thanks from NACTV I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to all the businesses, service clubs, churches and individuals who so generously responded to my plea on behalf of the 2018 NACTV Fundraising Campaign. Somehow a simple thank you doesn’t seem enough for the wonderful response we received. Our total figure for our fundraising effort was $7,915 and there is still more coming in. With the pledge sheets that were turned in the night of the Showcase, we raised $12,000. Once again, it’s been a joy to be have been involved with the NACTV fundraising effort. Jean Borchardt

next stage of the gardens will be a centre sitting/ work area where classes can be held outdoors on warm days. We are excited to announce that this will be accomplished due to a grant from the Healthy Together Now program provided by Prairie Mountain Health. For years to come, may our gardens nurture a deeper connection with the natural world, as well as a better understanding of our environment and the impact our choices have upon ourselves and the world around us.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The Beautiful Plains Community Foundation provides grants to qualifying organizations in the Town of Neepawa and the surrounding Municipalities of Rosedale, GlenellaLansdowne and the Langford portion of North Cypress/ Langford. At the June 2017 Grant Luncheon, $129,340.00 in grants was distributed to organizations within these communities. June 2017 also saw John Lavich complete a 2 year term as a Board member. The Board thanks John for his valuable contributions to board meetings and our many community events. In September we welcomed new Board members Brent Sorenson and Marilyn Crewe and look forward to their valued input going forward. As President, I am very proud of our Board members and the work that they are willing to take on and accomplish. The Foundation is very fortunate to have these volunteers and their commitment of time and resources. The Foundation is also very fortunate to have Brenda Kryschuk as our Executive Officer. Brenda’s tireless work, dedication, and passion for the success of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation is essential to our Board of Directors. We are always very grateful for the support received from the above noted communities, and their members, in the form of donations and support of the various fundraising activities carried out by or for the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation. Following is a quick look at some of the activities throughout 2017 and into 2018. In June 2017, during the Canada Safeway sponsored Screams for Ice Cream fundraiser, families and individuals purchased ice cream on a very cold day in June raising $994.00 for the Foundation. During September, the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign, with the support of individuals and businesses,
raised $4,759.00 to support the Foundation – the most money ever raised by the Neepawa Smile Cookie campaign! During the 24 hour Giving Challenge in November 2017, the Foundation received 74 donations totalling $47,135.00 - with the matching funds from the Winnipeg Foundation and the Province of Manitoba, $51,135 was raised during the challenge. With your donations the BPCF raised the 3rd highest total out of the 52 Manitoba Community Foundations that participated in the challenge. February 2018 brought our annual NHL Hat Auction which has always been very well supported. This year the bidding and hat sponsorships brought in $15,935.00, which will net the Foundation $7,364.00 after expenses and winning team payouts. Thanks again to all of our hat sponsors and all who attended who once again made this event a great success! Upcoming events in 2018 are the Jail ‘n Bail on November 15th, which we are bringing back after a one year hiatus. November also brings the annual 24 Hour Giving Challenge on the 17th. Mark your calendars accordingly as we would like to see these events be even more successful than in years past. Ladies Night Out is also returning in the spring of 2019. We will keep you posted and let you know once a date and theme have been confirmed. Thanks again to all in “Our Communities” who have donated to or supported in some way the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation. We appreciate and look forward to your continued support.

Polynesian food and culture visits Polonia By Ken Waddell
Neepawa Banner & Press
Polonia is a tiny community located in a valley part way to the top of Riding Mountain. It boasts a fabulous view, steep forested hills, a few homes, a beautiful church and a fine community hall. On June 10, the Polonia hall was the setting for a community picnic and a fabulous supper, Polynesian style. A group headed by Len Tardiff and Aleksio Tomoniko, arranged for a pit BBQ of a whole hog and dozens of roasted chickens that proved to be delicious. About 140 people attended and whiled away the afternoon visiting, watching the food being cooked and prepped. They also enjoyed a large display of products and artifacts from the island of Rotuma where Tomoniko and Mua Gordon were born and raised. Everyone was encouraging a repeat performance for next year. People won’t have to wait that long for another event as several fall and early winter meal events are planned for this fall.

Road woes for NACI win Provincial track title Neepawa Cubs
Santa Clara Baseball League update By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press
Opposition ball diamonds have not been all that accommodating to the Neepawa Cubs as of late, as the team has lost three straight road games. The first of these defeats was in Plumas on May 29, as the Pirates battered the Cubs 14-4. Carter Schettler collected the win on the mound for the ball diamond buccaneers, surrendering just six hits over the course of five innings. The next game for Neepawa was on Wednesday, June 6 in Carberry against the Royals. This rematch of last year’s SCBL final proved to be a pitcher’s nightmare for both clubs, with a combined 32 runs scored. In the end, however, it was Carberry who came away with the 18-14 victory. While several players for both teams had huge nights at the plate, Carberry’s Drew Allan was the most notable, going 3-for-3, with a pair of homers and a double. Allan was also credited with seven RBI on the night. The third and final of the recent road games for Neepawa would see them fall in Minnedosa on Friday, June 8 to the Mavericks, by the score of 13-4. Game stats for this contest were unavailable by the Banner & Press publication deadline. With these recent defeats, Neepawa has fallen to 2-5-0 and as of Wednesday, June 13, were in a four way tie for last in the standings, with Austin, Dauphin and Ebb and Flow. As for the top of the standings, the Minnedosa Mavericks and Portage Padres were atop the standing with 5-1-0 records.

MJHL reduces roster spots for 20-year-olds
Submitted MJHL Media Release
Keeping in alignment with its philosophy of developing young players, the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) will limit the number of 20-yearolds a team can register to eight players, effective this upcoming season. Moving forward, teams will be limited to seven and six, 20-year-olds for 2019-20 and 2020-21, respectively. This was one of several items approved recently at the league’s annual Board of Governors meeting. Other notable items passed included approval of a motion that requires all clubs to broadcast their home games in high definition (HD) quality on the Hockey TV broadcast service that is available for all league games. As well, teams will each play a 60 game balanced schedule. It will include 29 home, 29 away and 2 games at the 15th annual Old Dutch Player Showcase, which will
be held Dec. 9 – 12, at the Seven Oaks Rec Centre in Winnipeg, MB. The schedule for the Showcase will be released when the regular season schedule is posted later in June. Around the league The Neepawa Natives have traded defensemen Mason Waite and forward Brett Namaka to the Selkirk Steelers in exchange for goaltender Niklas An-
derson, forwards Nathan Driver and Reid Robertson, as well as future considerations. In 51 games last season for Neepawa, Namaka registered 23 points (12 goals - 11 assists). The Board of Governors has approved a motion that will see the league’s annual award presented to the top goaltender be renamed the Ed Belfour Top Goaltender Trophy effective for the 2018-2019 season.

You and your health
advice for a healthier lifestyle
Why spend so much time exercising? By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor
Everyone knows that we should all be active and get regular exercise to avoid cardiovascular disease and cancers. But did you know that exercise has a profound affect on the brain? So much so that it is more effective than any medication for dementia prevention, early brain wasting, mild depression, and anxiety! Here are some powerful effects that occur in the brain when we get our heart pumping: It makes you happy Research shows that increasing your heart rate for only a half an hour can instantly decrease depression and anxiety symptoms. Exercises causes chemicals in the brain to be released that make us feel awesome. It has even been observed in mice. Evidence points to a pleasurable and pain-killing firing of the endocannabinoid system (also known as the psychoactive receptor for cannabis). This is why the local Miles For Mental Health Fun Run and Walk is a must to attend.

It makes you smarter Exercise causes increased oxygen to the brain. Studies show that only 20 minutes of exercise can have a significant positive effect on concentration. A US study showed that when daily exercise was included throughout a school day, the students became better at multi-tasking, problem solving and processing complex information. Chemicals that help build and repair brain cells are released when performing aerobic exercise.
The production of new brain cells (neurogenesis) occurs when a person is tasked with new or complex movements. It makes you have a better memory It is not exactly fully understood how exercise helps memory but it is speculated that it is due to brain cell growth occurring in the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. One study showed a 2% increase in total size of the hippocam-
pus in seniors who walked 35 to 45 minutes just 3 times a week! The best time to exercise is around 4 hours after learning. We have all heard the saying “Your brain is like a muscle, use it or loose it” Get out and move! It decreases your odds of alzheimer’s There has been extensive studies regarding the prevention or slowing down of cognitive impairment related to exercise. Studies show that you can have the worst
form of the Alzheimer’s gene (APOE4) and if you exercise three times a week it brings your risk of having the disease to the same level as when you have the least aggressive type of gene (APOE1). Exercise also burns up your glucose in the blood and the brain changes to burning fats. This stimulates hormones in the brain that help repair and protect the nerves. Improved circulation also helps nutrition the brain and maintain cell health.
The obvious take away is get active! Regular exercise is essential but also simple activities such as walking, gardening, and housework all helps with brain health. The ideal amount is cardiovascular exercise or strength training a minimum of 20 minutes a session and three days a week Activity Fact: Your brain can burn up to 20 per cent of your total calories that you use in a day!
A little bit of everything at the Traveller’s Day parade
By John Drinkwater Neepawa Banner & Press
The 63rd annual Brandon Traveller’s Day Parade commenced at 11:00 a.m. on the corner of 6th Street and Rosser Avenue on June 9. Coordinator, Norm Joss, said over 100 different units participated in Saturday’s event, which included floats, four marching bands, military vehicles, veteran cars and horses. Joss stated they were very pleased with the turnout, which is an added attraction to the Manitoba Summer Fair. The Parade, started in 1955, is held in partnership with the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba.

A fine end to the 2018 Fine Arts Festival
Youth Beef Roundup returning to Neepawa
Submitted Neepawa and District Fine Arts Festival
Submitted Neepawa
Neepawa and District Fine Arts Festival (NDFAF) was a success again, thanks to the work of an executive of 14 people plus our committee president, Rhonda Dickenson. Many additional volunteers assisted the executive committee with various tasks such as cleaning the bathroom, taking stats at the door, and organizing classrooms of children during the speech arts sessions. The Knox Presbyterian Church continues to be a welcoming location for the festival. Our adjudicators Eleanor Epp and David Klassen were kept busy with 148 entries (two more than last year). Our new speech arts classes consisted of 20 speech arts entries. Due to feedback from the community, the speech arts classes will continue next year. Our concerts and daily sessions were well attended. The admission was $2/session and $5/concert per person and we collected $930 in entrance fees in four days. Friends of the Festival were able to attend all sessions and concerts for free - and there were 57 friends of the festival. The executive were very pleased with the numbers of entries and audience members. We would like to thank the community for attending the festival, becoming Friends of the Festival, and by supporting participants with scholarships. This year scholarships ranged from $50 to $200 and were donated by: Rotary, Legion, Legion Ladies, Elks, U.C.T., Elks Lodge, Elks, Beta Sigma Phi, Inner Wheel, S. Drayson, Durston family, Choraliers, Lions, and the Turner Fund. On April 29, 2018, the NDFAF and the Neepawa and Area Community Choir hosted “Notes for Knox” where many of the winners of the scholarships and trophies performed. Eleven performers were nominated to attend provincials in Brandon, Manitoba at the end of May. The 2018 festival was a success because of the many hours of volunteer time and a community that supports the festival with financial support and by filling the church as listeners. The festival continues to be a great place for people to enjoy music and performances and for performers to have an audience and receive feedback from an adjudicator. We are looking forward to planning the 2019 NDFAF. Please note that the deadline for entries will be February 1, 2019. If you are interested in more information about the festival, follow us our Facebook page “Neepawa & District Fine Arts Festival” or join our executive at the Annual General Meeting on September 23 at 3:00p.m. at the Lion’s Den at Arts Forward.

Thank You An Expression of Gratitude With the passing of our wife and mother, Helen Fedorowich, We would like to take a minute to thank some very special people during Helen’s stay in our Neepawa Health Center. Firstly, a thank you to friends and neighbours that did so many little things as mom got sicker. A thank you to an efficient and caring Home Care Co-ordinator that was so helpful in the homecare process; as well as a thank you to the home care workers that allowed mom to stay at home as long as she could; and to the ones that cared for her during her time using the Country Meadows facilities (she loved her baths). A thank you to the dietary and housekeeping staff that made institutional living much better than what it could have been. Most certainly, we cannot express enough, our deepest appreciation to the nursing staff that: put up with Helen’s idiosyncrasies (she hated being sick); tolerated her moods when she was really struggling; took time to talk; and just plain old looked after her when no one else could. And finally, a thank you to the Doctors that looked after another patient when their plate was too full already. A very special thank you to Dr. Ong, who cared for Helen for almost 40 years… Thank you to all for your cards, flowers and words of support, they will always remain deeply appreciated. I am sure that we have missing thanking some that quietly helped without us even knowing…. and to those, of course, thank you. The Fedorowich Family

The dumpsters shown above that were located in the back alley between Mountain and First Ave. are empty in this photo. They were usually full, overflowing and had become a major eyesore and source of irritation. Even light winds would distribute the debris far and wide, much to neighbours’ dismay. The Town of Neepawa has now replaced the dumpsters with rolling carts. Each business or unit gets one blue recycling cart and one black garbage cart. The cart/bins can be loaded mechanically by the garbage truck. One problem is they are not locked bins and owners have been advised to keep them inside overnight to avoid misuse by people who don’t live in the area. While the bins promise a somewhat neater system, finding space inside a building can be an issue. Also, garbage odour inside an apartment or shop may be a concern if bins are pulled indoors.

Three tips to prepare to sell your home
Institute suggests homeowners clear clutter out of their homes before appraisers visit, and the same approach can be applied to open houses. Buyers, like appraisers, see cluttered homes as less valuable. In addition, a home full of clutter might give buyers the impression, true or not, that the home was not well maintained.
Metro Creative Connection Submitted
While a good home can find a buyer any time of year, homeowners might find the buyers’ pool is strongest in spring and into summer. The reasons for that are many, ranging from parents wanting to move when their children are not in school to buyers wanting to move when the weather is most accommodating. Because spring is such a popular time to sell a home, homeowners who want to put their homes on the market should use winter as an opportunity to prepare their homes for the prying eyes of prospective buyers. The following tips can help homeowners during the pre-selling preparation process. Address the exterior of the home Winter can be harsh on a home’s exterior, so as winter winds down, homeowners who want to sell their homes should make an effort to address anything that might negatively affect their homes’ curb appeal. A study of homes in Greenville, S.C., from researchers at Clemson University found that the value of homes with landscapes that were upgraded from “good” to “excellent” increased by 6 to 7 percent. If it’s in the budget, hire professional landscapers to fix any problematic landscaping or address any issues that arose during the winter. Homeowners with green thumbs can tackle such projects on their own, but hiring professionals is akin to staging inside the home.
PHOTO PROPERTY OF METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION
If you’re sell your home, don’t forget to give the property a once over to keep Fido’s scent at a minimum.
Conquer interior clutter Clutter has a way of accumulating over the winter, when people tend to spend more time indoors than they do throughout the rest of the year. Homeowners who want to put their homes on the market in spring won’t have the luxury of waiting until spring to do their “spring” cleaning, so start clearing any clutter out in winter, even resolving to make an effort to prevent its accumulation throughout winter. Just like buyers are impressed by curb appeal, they are turned off by clutter. The Appraisal
Eliminate odors A home’s inhabitants grow accustomed to odors that might be circulating throughout the house. Pet odor, for instance, might not be as strong to a home’s residents as it is to guests and prospective buyers. Because windows tend to stay closed throughout the winter, interior odors can be even stronger come late-winter than they are during the rest of the year. A thorough cleaning of the house, including vacuuming and removal of any pet hair that accumulated over the winter, can help to remove odor. In the weeks leading up to the open house, bathe pets more frequently, using a shampoo that promotes healthy skin so pet dander is not as prevalent. Open windows when the weather allows so more fresh air comes into the home. Spring is a popular and potentially lucrative time to sell a home, and homeowners who spend winter preparing their homes for the market may reap even greater rewards.

Letter to the editor
Continued from page 5 Further to the above noted minimum staffing requirements, consideration also needs to be given to securing additional pool staff who are qualified to teach the lessons. This is then measured in relation to the number of classes either consecutively or simultaneously. The duties of the staff person teaching the lessons focus on the class in session and cannot be counted as meeting the requirement of a Qualified Lifeguard on deck who is to continually observe the pool area. Advertisements for pool staff went out early in 2018 with a minimal number of applicants. The majority of those hired are high school students who as we speak are ensuring that their required training is in place. Insofar as the number of pool staff physically working in June, 2018, there is only one (1) who is a very capable and qualified returning university student. However, as previously referenced, the Town of Neepawa is unable to meet the minimum staffing requirements, which unfortunately equates to the inability to host programs. This decision was not taken lightly and every attempt was made to recruit sufficient qualified pool staff. The Town of Neepawa apologizes for the impact that this decision has had on the community, but would argue that the decision did in fact take into account the price of a life and safety for same. Hosting the school programs and operating a pool in non-compliance with The Public Health Act is simply irresponsible. Lastly for comparatives, minimum wage in Manitoba is $11.15. Established pay ranges for staff at the Town of Neepawa Swimming Pool are as follows: • Cashiers or assistant lifeguards • Lifeguards/Instructors • Lifeguards/Instructor Trainers
$12.99 - $13.81 $13.85 - $15.45 $16.72 –$18.30
Any adjustments through the pay ranges is based on hours of accumulation from year to year. The Town of Neepawa encourages and welcomes any qualified individuals interested in working at the pool to contact our office. Town of Neepawa
