Local author honoured in Neepawa Margaret Laurence celebrated with Manawaka Festival and plaque unveiling

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

An icon of Canadian and Manitoban literature Laurence is an icon of Canadian and Manitoban literature, and is one of this country’s most esteemed and beloved writers. She was a key figure during the literary renaissance of the 1960s and 1970s, making significant contributions to Canadian writing via her ef for t s reg a rd i ng the establishment of the Writer’s Trust of Canada and the Writer’s Union of Canada, and through her support of many fellow writers throughout her life. Laurence’s best known works were defined by their realism and feminism. To this day, the quality and significance of her works continue to be recognized.

N u m e r o u s representatives from Parks Ca nad a at tended t he event, including Visitor E x p er ie nc e M a n a g e r of R id i n g Mou nt a i n Nat iona l Park, Ca l Martin, who conducted the afternoon’s ceremonies.

Speakers Dr. R ichard Wishart, Government of Canada representative and Historic Sites and Monu ment s B oa rd of Ca nada’s member for Manitoba; Brian Curtis, pa st president of t he Margaret Laurence Home; Ms. Lane England, on behalf of David Laurence,

Brian Curtis joined later.

son of Margaret Laurence; a n d D o n Wa l m s l e y, supporter of the Margaret Laurence Home and the literary arts in Neepawa, provided readings prior to the unveiling.

Wishart descr ibed Laurence as an outstanding author, who was “focused on promoting causes she passionately supported”.

“Peace, social justice, the equity of women, and environmental protection through letters, lectures, essays, and fundraising campaigns.”

Curtis followed Wishart, providing an emot ion a l ly power f u l touch to the proceedings, that highlighted some of the rough patches in the author’s life, his personal experiences with her, and some perhaps lesser known facts.

Laurence joins distinguished company Laurence was further described throughout the speaches as shy, ver y gracious, and “somebody who has meant an awful lot” to the community.

Her son could think of no

better place for the plaque to reside.

Blair Chapman, one of the organizers for the joint effort event, was pleased with the turnout despite the heat. “It’s wonderful to see the local support, and support from those further away.”

“It’s lovely,” Chapman w e n t o n . “A n d s h e [ M a r g a r et L au r enc e] joins very distinguished company like Sir John A. McDonald, and other artists like Glenn Gould.

Adding recognition to her as an artist, activist, and mentor who has had an impact is really nice.”

A place of inspiration Parks Canada r e pr e s ent at i ve R o g er Schroeder commended Laurence as being an e x a m ple of s ome one star t ing from sma l l beg innings in a rural community in Manitoba a n d g r o w i n g i nt o a world renowned author, calling her an inspiration.

Describing the event as a spectacular afternoon, S ch roeder sha red h is hopes for the home, and for

the community in which it resides.

“This could be a place of inspiration for other writers,” Schroeder stated.

“The Manawaka Festival can g row and att ract new people from across Canada. This could be a real spark plug for the community, and looking for d i f ferent way s of diversif y ing itself and f lourishing.”

Not just a stale monument Also in attendance was Margaret Laurence Home boa rd member R r a i n Prior, who divulged that while Laurence wouldn’t have been comfortable speaking at the event, this is exactly the type of event she would have wanted.

“It was really important to her that it [the Margaret Laurence Home] be a living

art centre, that it wasn’t just a stale monument to her,” Prior enthused. “So having activities like this, and honours like this here, I think would have been very important to her.

Having artistic creation activities and celebrations happening here is what she would have wanted it to be.”

Prior stressed that she wants people to not see the plaque unveiling and festival as a one time event, but as a beginning of something where we can continue to celebrate L aurence’s work s and those of other local people and communities. The board has confirmed that they would like to make Manawaka Festival an annual event, possibly lasting the duration of a weekend, instead of a single day or evening.

C elebr at ion s a nd a c om memor at ion t o ok p l a c e a t N e e p a w a’s Margaret Laurence Home last Friday, Aug. 10, in honour of esteemed author Margaret L aurence.

With nearly 100 guests in attendance, the event, aptly dubbed the Manawaka Festival, featured a plaque unveiling at the home dedicated to Laurence.

Fol low i ng t he plaque unveiling and speaches were children’s activities, cake and refreshments, Manitoba author readings, a “living library”, music and food at the Farmery, a movie night at the Roxy, and a “campfire” of lights at Park Lake, accompanied by the telling of ghost stories.

The honourable C at her i ne Mc Ken n a , Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, released a quote for t he day’s proceedings which reads: “On behalf of t he Gover nment of Canada, I am pleased to commemorate the national historic signif icance of Margaret Laurence. Her best-k nown works, set in the fictional town of Manawaka, revealed her feminist voice by placing strong women at the centre of each of her novels, and helped establish the Canadian prairie as a literary setting. Historic desig nat ions ref lect Canada’s rich and varied history and I encourage all Canadians to learn more about Margaret Laurence and her impor tant contributions to Canada’s heritage.”

Truly, as proven by the kind words and heartfelt regards spoken that day, Margaret Laurence has touched the lives of and inspired many.

hat if we’ve been thinking about work all wrong? I recently watched a TED talk by Mike Rowe, best known as the host of the Discovery Channel’s TV show, “Dirty Jobs”.

The talk is almost a decade old, but the issues remain relevant today.

Dirty Jobs had a simple concept, Rowe and his crew would spend each episode working a “dirty job”, something not so glamorous, yet essential. The goal was to showcase the hardworking people we need for modern society to thrive. MY In each episode, PERSPECTIVE Rowe would act as the apprentice, getting his hands dirty under the direction of the Kate p er s on b e i n g Jackman-Atkinson prof i led. T he prog ram gave him the unique experience of working with everyday Americans in all 50 states.

Working these jobs caused Rowe to question the conventional wisdom about work. “People who work dirty jobs are happier than you think. As a group, they’re the happiest people I know,” he explains. This realization led him to question firmly held beliefs about what is necessary to be happy with your work and by extension, life.

This first target is the idea that you should follow your passion. It’s a commonly heard refrain, but according to Rowe, it was probably the worst advice he ever got. Many of the people who have been profiled on the show didn’t follow that advice, but instead, found an underserved niche. They found success not by following their dreams, but by watching where everyone was going and going the other way. These people are passionate, they just found their passion once they were in the industry.

Rowe has been a strong critic of the idea that only a four year university degree will bring success. He sees the mismatch— graduates with high debt but no job prospects, and well paying skilled trades jobs going unfilled. Times have changed, but our attitudes and preconceptions haven’t kept up. Collectively, we’re afraid to get our hands dirty and collectively, we’re all suffering for it.

“We’ve declared war on work, as a society, all of us. It’s a civil war. It’s a cold war, really,” he says. This war against work, the jobs that actually make and fix stuff, has been waged on multiple fronts. For example, Hollywood usually portrays working people as the punchline of a joke; on screen, plumbers are 300 pounds with a usually visible buttcrack.

Advertising, no matter the product, sells the dream of doing less work. Commercials paint a better life in which we’re home earlier and retire a little sooner. But what if your work gives you a sense of satisfaction? What if you can look back on your day, week, or year with pride at all the widgets you’ve made and people helped by doing your job? Shouldn’t that be something to aspire to?

Then there’s the different ways we view innovation versus imitation. We celebrate the genius that creates things like the iPhone, yet, explains Rowe, that technology would be nothing without the people who physically make the product.

In rural communities, we have a stronger appreciation for “dirty” jobs. Maybe because our ranks are full of farmers and tradespeople; they’re us, our friends, our neighbours or our family.

We know them to be smart and hard workers. We understand the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that accompanies many of the jobs, because we have felt it ourselves. But in places where the disconnect is greater, the war against work that Rowe talks about is real.

Once upon a time, we could predict with relative certainty the path to prosperity and happiness, but there are no longer any cookie cutter solutions. More than anything else, it’s a case of simple economics, anything that is in high demand and short supply, is valuable.

Time to get to work

A

s I w r ite t hese words, I am having one of those days in which I have few words of wisdom to of fer to a group of people who have just gone through an unimaginable tragedy.

Those of whom I speak are residents of Alonsa and Silver Ridge; and those who had settled in for what they hoped would be an enjoyable weekend of camping at Margaret Bruce Provincial Park.

Their lives were radically changed August 3 when an EF- 4 tor nado cut a swath through their com mun it ies, leav i ng death and destruction in its wake.

I will be the first to admit that I can’t fully appreciate the terror people must feel as they watch their world—a world they have spent a lifetime building— instantly destroyed. I can understand how it feels to suddenly and tragically lose a loved one. So this week, I want to direct some thoughts from my heart to those whose hearts have been broken by the events

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein of August 3.

First, I want to extend my condolences to the family and friends of Jack Furrie.

From what I have read and heard about him, he was an amazing person—a farmer, a teacher, a loving parent and grandparent, a wonderful neighbour and a very faithful friend. His death will leave a huge hole in the community; but he will live on thanks to the happy memories you will have of him. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers for many days to come.

S e c ond , I w a nt t o commend those whose acts of heroism in the face of danger will long be remembered. I think of one family who housed 40 friends and relatives in their basement; another family who sheltered a total

of 14 in their basement and two younger men who hurried next door to rescue an elderly couple who were trapped in their home.

Such acts of courage in the face of tragedy remind us of the good that can be found in all people and of our readiness to reach out and help those in need— something for which rural Canadians are well known.

The road ahead for those directly affected by this tragedy will not be easy.

We know that homes and businesses can be repaired or rebuilt. Lost property can be replaced. But lives lost cannot be regained.

And it will take some time for those who lived through this tragedy to fully recover.

Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant

you the courage to face each new day, the strength and wisdom to deal with its challenges and the faith to believe that you will survive and heal. It’s okay to shed tears, ask questions and express anger. I pray that you will be surrounded by caring people who will walk with you as you heal and rebuild.

Finally, a word to us all.

If this tragedy has taught us anything, it should be that the technology in which we put so much trust can (sometimes will) fail us when we need it most. We must always be alert to what is happening around us; recognize the signs of imminent danger and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

Our f irst priority must always be to preserve life— ours and those around us.

Some questions surrounding this tragedy may never be completely answered. Let’s leave the investigating to others.

It’s time for us to get to work—to roll up our sleeves and help the victims rebuild their homes, their businesses and their lives.

Still working on the back garage...

R

eally! I have been in this home for just a little over two years. There are boxes that got stacked in the garage, because there was room.

Those boxes mostly contain stuff that I should not have moved. Throwing things away is difficult! I do find the occasional treasure, and now I either share it with someone who cares or re-purpose it.

The find of the week was a three inch silver pocket knife. Ed collected pocket knives, of all sizes, and I have been giving them to a daughter as they surface. With every handful, she shakes her head, takes them, but they are not the little silver one she is looking for. So, this week, in a box of mixed treasures were two more pocket knives, a silver one and a white one.

In the same storage unit were several of the first books she had written. One was a hard cover, dedicated to her first nephew, all about

Observation

By Addy Oberlin his week I am starting to sort, recycle or discard many items in my home, because I will be downsizing when I move. It is amazing how much we collect in a lifetime, many items with sentimental memories. I also find many things that I have not used for the last few years and do not plan to use it in the next few years. Away with it!

I can understand better now what many people in this town went through when they moved from a home or farm in to an apartment. It is a personal task to do the sorting and selecting and there is some deep sighing going on.

However, I want to think about Jesus when he lived on this earth. He did not have a home where he could rest. He stayed in many of his friends’ homes and they supplied Him with his needs. But He was happy and full of joy. That’s how I want to feel and freely part with many of my earthly belongings. It is only what I commit to the Lord Jesus Christ that will last till the end.

Erasing history does nothing for betterment of our nation

Sir John A. MacDonald was a flawed figure as most politicians are. He was first elected to the legislature of the Province of Canada in 1844. In 1857 he became premier of the politically unstable province. By 1884, with the support of George Brown, he undertook formation of a confederation of provinces that led to the enactment of the British North America Act in 1867 and the birth of Canada.

He served as Prime Minister from July 1967 until November 1873 when he resigned due to the Pacific Scandal which involved government bribery in building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He was re-elected in 1878 and served until his death in 1891. He was a formidable force in creation of the Dominion of Canada and in the completion of a transcontinental railway.

Recent articles have panned him as the architect of the residential schools program, but this is erroneous.

Residential schools for aboriginals were first tried in what is now New Brunswick around 1880 but failed.

However residential schools were operated in Upper Canada from the 1830s and onward. They became the template for later schools. During the 1870s plains aboriginals favoured residential schools during treaty negotiations. They felt that would enable their young to learn the skills of the newcomer society and help them make a successful transition to a world dominated by the strangers.

I do not apologize for Sir John. He was amongst other things an unethical rascal and the man who authorized the hanging of Louis Riel. That is part of our history.

I admit that the residential school system was thoroughly corrupt and mistreated the children it was charged with educating and helping to transition to a better life. We failed our aboriginal people abysmally, but long after Sir John was dead.

I am appalled at those who want to erase Sir John’s name from public buildings and tear down statues of the man. Macdonald, despite his flaws, was a monumental force in the creation of our nation. Most of those whining that his memory must be erased have done nothing for the betterment of our society or nation. They are lazy, indolent, uneducated gremlins seeking to destroy what they do not understand and have no knowledge of.

The Victoria City Council members should hang their heads in shame for removing a statue of Sir John. It avoided a confrontation with local activists by engaging in an act of historical vandalism.

A.J.’s enemies The list keeps getting longer Ye s , A . J . F r y e r s o n complained about everything, and the number of folks on his “bad list” increased by the week. There’s a funny thing about collecting such a long list. Chances are, a lot of those folks included A.J. on their bad lists as well. Sooner or later, people would say, something bad was going to happen to A.J. The Sept. 8, 1998, edition of The Hometown News included A.J.’s latest discourse. Not a week went by that Fryerson didn’t write a letter to the editor, and on slow news weeks, they often found their way onto Iris Long’s opinion page.

His latest rant had to do with the only gas station in town, Buford Levitt’s Sinclair Oil. The problem with complaining about Levitt’s was obvious to anyone in the Valley. Along with Perry Pratt, Buford was just about the most liked and respected merchant in the community. A.J. wasn’t going to attract many allies.

His latest diatribe had to do with the way the gas pumps kept track of his purchases. It started when Buford introduced “self-service” pumps at his station in 1997.

Prior to that, customers would pull into the station, order their gas, and pay the attendant. More times than not, the rotating cylinder would turn over by a penny or two, but the attendant always charged only what the customer ordered.

Buford replaced his old gas pumps during the same period he introduced self-service. Instead of the old cylinder models, Levitt’s now had electronic pumps with digital displays that indicated the amount of gas purchased.

This apparently upset A.J. to no end. He penned his letter on Monday, September 7, and dropped it off at the newspaper office, saving him the cost of a first-class stamp.

Unlike most Valley residents, Iris saw A.J.’s rantings as harmless. She figured she was doing the Valley a favor by letting him blow off steam in the paper rather than finding a more violent method of expressing himself. And sometimes, as was the case with this letter, she found A.J.’s thought process rather amusing.

“Dear Hometown News,” he began. “I have been a customer of Sinclair Oil for more than 30 years.

When I purchased my first car in 1963, I bought my first tank of gas from Buford Levitt himself.”

Like many of A.J.’s letters, this one started out peacefully enough. But

as was often the case, his tone quickly changed.

“What I want to know is,” he continued, “when gas pumps went from calculating the cost of your gas to robbing you like a slot machine in Las Vegas?”

The crux of the matter came down to the precision of those new pumps.

“Before Sinclair got those new pumps, you knew what your gas was going to cost. Now, you might as well close your eyes, because those numbers keep on rolling until they decide to stop on their own!”

He went on to call Buford the worst kind of thief: one who would steal from his neighbors and friends.

Yes, A.J. Fryerson made a lot of enemies, and as his list got longer many folks figured it was only a matter of time before he complained about someone who wouldn’t take it as calmly as Buford Levitt.

The letter to the editor on Sept. 8 would be the last anyone would hear from A.J. in 1998. Yes, he liked to complain. But as the good folks of Lennox Valley would soon discover, A.J. had just complained for the last time.

Preserves

Despite the heat and lack of rain, my garden is producing.

For those who garden, here are recipes to help use the surplus. This is a great way to use up homegrown apples and have a terrific winter treat.

Apple sauce supreme 1 heaped ice cream pail of apples 1 1/2 cups of water 1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup sugar 1-2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 2 tsp. vanilla

Wash, peel apples and slice. Place in a Dutch oven. Add water, raisins and sugar. Cook for about 20 minutes. Add cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Cook till the softness you desire is obtained (usually 5-10 minutes). Cool and freeze in containers until ready to use.

To be a successful pickle maker, use only the freshest cucumbers. When making dills, never use oversized or over ripe cucumbers. Use only fresh, firm, solid cucumbers.

Family favorite dills 9 cups water 1 bay leaf per jar 3 cups pickling vinegar 1-2 cloves garlic for 3/4 cup pickling salt each jar 1/2 cup sugar dill heads red dried chili peppers if desired Wash and pack cucumbers into 6 sterilized quart jars that have dill weed and garlic in the bottom. Boil water, vinegar, salt and sugar. Pour hot liquid over cucumbers in jars. Add the peppers and bay leaf. Seal jars. Cool and store for 4 weeks before using. Great to use with roasts, ham and cold meats.

Onion relish 7 large cucumbers, 1 1/2 cups water peeled and sliced 2 1/2 cups white sugar 5 large onions, peeled 1/2 cup flour and sliced 1 Tbsp. dry mustard 1/2 cup pickling salt 1 tsp. ginger 2 1/2 cups vinegar 3/4 tsp. turmeric Cover cucumbers and onions with salt and let stand 2 hours. Cook remaining ingredients until thick. Drain brine from cucumbers and onions and add the drained veggies to the sauce. Let simmer at low for 1 hour. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.

1988: Clowns and tigers and elephants? Oh my!

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Tuesday, August 18, 1908 ThewarshipIndomitable, carrying the Prince of Wales, made a record run from Quebec to England, covering the distance from port to port at a speed of over 25 knots per hour.

100 years ago, Friday, August 17, 1918 Br igad ier Genera l Elmsley is to command the Canadian forces in Siberia.

Canada has contributed over 13,000 men to the air forces of the British in France.

Jews are now being enlisted in Western Canada to go and fight for the independence of Palestine.

A tank steamer with $1,500,000 cargo of oil was sunk by a German submarine off the United States coast.

There is talk of Karensky t a k ing charge of t he Russians to resist German domination in conjunction with allied troops.

90 years ago, Friday, August 17, 1928 Philippe Roy is Canada’s first minister at Paris.

The North Star oil refinery in St. Boniface was wrecked by fire Tuesday night.

Fifteen tenders have been put in for building two destroyers for the Canadian Navy.

80 years ago, Tuesday, August 16, 1938 Little Marie Dionne provided the Dafoe nursery with a mystery that drew more attention than the battle between her father Oliva and her guardians for possession of the quintuplets.

M a r ie hatched t he mystery by attempting to water wooden hobby horses with a beach pail.

That act would be ord i na r y for a not her young ster but it wa s extraordinary for a quint because no one could imagine where Marie, who has never been out of the Dafoe nursery grounds since she was two months old, had seen a horse, much less the watering of one.

Leaf ing through the qu int’s pict ure book s brought no explanation to their teacher, Nora Rouselle, or their nurses

Sigrid Ulrichson and Molly O’Shaughnessy. Finally they called in Dr. Dafoe and he cleared up the mystery.

A year ago a teamster was employed on the gardening work around the nursery and sometimes watered his horses within sight of the quint’s playroom.

Little Marie remembered and, after filling her beach pail with water, went from one to another of the five hobby horses offering them a drink. She did not seem at all disappointed that they did not cooperate by taking it. She kissed them all.

70 years ago, August, 1948 A table game-bird of rare delicacy which used to be a familiar sight as they flew in large numbers over Manitoba’s lake areas and well known to Neepawa and district residents, today is on the brink of extinction. Game bird authorities estimate that of the thousands of whooping cranes once common to these parts in the spring and fall, only about 33 survive.

A well-known pioneer Neepawa and d istr ict couple, Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Du nsmore, a re receiv i ng ex pression s of congratulations and felicitation from their many friends on the attainment of their golden wedding anniversary.

60 years ago, Friday, August 15, 1958 Mr. and Mrs. Don Tanner will present a program of gospel music in Calvary Chapel on Tuesday, August 19, 1958, starting at 8 p.m.

One outstanding feature of the program will be music on a set of camel bells, imported from Pakistan by Rev. Tanner and the only known authentic set on this continent.

Other items on the program will feature violin, accordion, clarinet, piano, vocal solos, and duets by the versatile couple. Many may remember the Tanners from a previous visit made here several years ago.

50 years ago, Friday, August 16, 1968 Construction of a new implement agency building on No. 5 highway was started this week. Concrete for the footings was to be poured Thursday, but was held up by rain.

The new agency will be known as Neepawa

Farm Implements, and will sell Case machinery and implements. Proprietor is Steve Fedorowich, formerly of Plumas, who is taking over the agency from William Whitmore Ltd. on November 1.

T he new bu i ld i ng, located on the west side of Highway 5 on “machinery row” will be of metal clad construction, 40 by 80 feet, with ample room for service and repairs of equipment.

Myra travelled 1,654 miles in 23 hours on his Honda SST 1100. One other participant rode more miles, but was disqualified when he exceeded the time limit.

A new name added to nomination list Ben Fox seeking Conservative position

Neepawa Banner & Press

The field of suitors looking to become the next Conservative candidate in the federal riding of DauphinSwan River-Neepawa has grown by one more name.

That new name also happens to be a well known and well-regarded one in the province’s beef industry.

Last week, Ben Fox of Dauphin announced that he would be leaving his post as president of Manitoba Beef Producers to pursue a career in federal politics.

Fox is the third person to announce his intentions to replace Robert Sopuck, who confirmed in May that he will not seek re-election in next year’s federal election. The other individuals already declared are Dan Mazier of Justice and Floyd Martens of Roblin.

In an interview with the Banner & Press, Fox noted the decision to step down from the Manitoba Beef Producers was a difficult one to make, but that he felt this was the right time to shift his attention to this new challenge.

“It is a leap, but it’s something that my family and I discussed for quite some time. We felt that the time

was appropriate to jump into this new challenge, and hopefully new opportunity,” said Fox. “I’m looking forward to getting out into the region, speaking with people and showcasing what I’m all about. I’m hopeful they’ll see me as a someone who can be a good representative for them in Ottawa.”

To go along with his experience as Manitoba Beef Producers president, a role he’s held since Feb. 2017, Fox is also currently the president of the Dauphin

Ag Society. He notes these positions have given him an ability to work well with others.

As part of moving forward in the nomination process, Fox has begun selling party memberships throughout the region.

While his opponents have a slight advantage over him in regard to starting this part of the process earlier than him, Fox is confident he’ll be able to make up ground.

“I’m looking forward to getting out there and getting the membership drive going.

The early response has been tremendous and I’m appreciative of all the support so far,” expressed Fox. “As for those who may be unfamiliar with my background, I’m a strong believer in family.

My wife [Linda] and my four children are very community oriented and believe in doing everything we can to benefit and serve the community in those roles.

That’s a message I want to share with everyone I speak to within the [nomination] effort.”

The off icial date for a candidate nomination meeting to occur has not yet been announced. As for the next federal election, it is scheduled to take place on or before Oct. 21, 2019.

Lara Denbow golden at Legion Nationals Historic results for Prairie Storm Athletics

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

It was a tremendous weekend for Lara Denbow, of the Prairie Storm Athletics Club, at the 2018 Legion Track and Field National Championships in Brandon. The 14-yearold from Neepawa scored a gold medal in the U-16 Girls’ high jump competition, with a jump of 1.70 metres. That jump was also a new personal best for her in an outdoor competition, surpassing her previous personal best jump of 1.55m, set at the same event in 2016.

“I’m overjoyed with this weekend. Legion Nationals was such great experience and to have it in Brandon as well as having my friends and family watching was amazing.” said Denbow.

Denbow’s success also shows favourably upon her team, the Prairie Storm Athletics Club. Over the

As for the rest of the Prairie Storm Athletics Club, they all put in solid results against some of very difficult competition.

It was a victory that was a full year in the making for the Morden Mohawks. On Sunday, Aug. 12, the Border Baseball League representative defeated the Hamiota Red Sox 2-1 in the final of the Provincial Senior “AA” Baseball Championship in Neepawa. The feeling of vindication after the final out was a complete 180 from what the players had felt last year, after dropping the championship game to Boissevain. Morden manager Brent Laverty said that unsuccessful end to last season kept the entire team motivated this year.

“On a short weekend like this, you have to come together at the right time.

We were able to do that. We came together and played some great ball. We were here last year in the final, so it was a big motivation to finish the job,” commented Laverty. “Nothing was guaranteed coming into the season, so we knew right from the first game [in the Border Baseball League]

that we’d have to work hard to get that second chance.

This year was all about coming back and closing things out on the winning side.”

Accolades for Neepawa As for the Neepawa Cubs game results, the Cubs closed out the round robin with a 0-3 record. The team fell in their first game to the eventual champs, the Morden Mohawks 6-3. The following day, Neepawa dropped a 6-1 decision to the Hamiota Red Sox and then lost 6-2 to the Brandon Cardinals.

While the on-field results

weren’t what the Neepawa Cubs had been hoping for, player/coach Scott Newton said that the off-field results surpassed all their expectations.

“The attendance figures were solid for this year’s tournament. In total, there were 580 paid attendees for the weekend. Those numbers exclude the teams, so it’s a very good number, especially considering the extremely warm weather. Unofficially, the event raised about $10,000, which is going to be going right back into upgrades to the field and the operation of the team. So every dol-

lar that came in from this event is staying right here in the community,” stated Newton.

Newton also acknowledged the large group of people who worked very hard to make the weekend a success. He said the volunteers worked under some incredibly difficult circumstances due to the extreme heat, but they came through in a big way.

He noted any success this weekend achieved is due to them. Newton also thanked the sponsors for supporting the weekend and the baseball team throughout the season.

Lisoway signs deal with Rapid City

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Quintin Lisoway has agreed to his first pro contract, signing with the Rapid City Rush of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). The 22-year-old forward from Neepawa is joining the club following the recent conclusion of his Canadian college hockey career at the University of Manitoba.

Lisoway has spent the last two seasons with the U of M Bisons, totaling 32 points (19 goals -13 assists) in 53 games. Prior to his college experience, he had also played major-junior hockey with the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings and QMJHL’s Acadie-Bathurst Titan, as well as in the MJHL. In a media release issued by the Rush, head coach Daniel Tetrault noted that Lisoway has a lot to offer the team.

“What stood out to me most about Quintin is his leadership ability. He had a great junior career and put up great numbers in college, so it was a nobrainer to bring him on,” Tetrault said. “Quintin is a defense-first player up front, so we’ll task him with shutting down the opposition’s forwards, but in his college career, he found a scoring touch, so we’ll put him in all situations. I’m very excited to see what he brings to the team in training camp.”

Lisoway, meanwhile, expressed his excitement for the opportunity to play for this organization and bringing his skill set to the next level.

“I’m looking forward to playing more hockey, and the challenge of the professional level,” Lisoway said.

“I like the way the organization is heading in my conversations with coach [Daniel] Tetrault. I have a ton of familiarity with the team already, having already played with Shaquille Merasty in college, so that will help with my transition. On the ice, I bring the ability to score in different ways. I’m more of a scorer now, but in junior, I developed defensively, and that led to leading in plus/minus my first year in college. Defensive play is a big part of my game, so all in all, I play well 200 feet up and down the ice.”

The Rapid City Rush is a professional hockey team, based out of Rapid City, South Dakota. Originally part of the Central Hockey League, the Rush joined the ECHL in 2014.

Neepawa Natives hold AGM

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The 30th season of the Neepawa Natives in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) could be one of the most important in the franchise’s history, or it could be one of the last.

Whichever one it turns out to be will be entirely up to the community.

The junior “A” hockey club held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, Aug. 8 at the Neepawa Public Library.

During the session, board representatives confirmed that the team had suffered a net financial loss last season of $48,376. That adds to the team’s overall long-term debt, as it now stands at $210,685.

According to the organization’s official financial statements, which are compiled by Kinley Thomson Chartered Accountants Inc., the overall revenue for the club’s 2017-2018 fiscal year totaled $365,370.

That number is down from the $409,119 generated the previous season. A huge factor in that number includes a $33,651 drop in advertising and sponsorships and $11,872 decline in game revenue.

Meanwhile, expenses also rose year-over-year, from $408,375 to $413,746. The only notable increase there

saw fund-raising expenses go up $19,099, from $81,164 in 2016-2017, to $100,263 in 2017-2018.

After the review of the financials, board president Ken Waddell noted that the Neepawa Natives were bringing forward a call to action for members of the community to help, in any way, to keep the franchise viable.

“The board itself has made some changes in an effort to keep the team viable.

One of which is the travel fee, which will help. Although our costs are going to go up due to the need to lease a team bus this season. There will be less uncertainty, however, as the cost will be fixed and we won’t need to worry about repairs or other unexpected issues,” noted Waddell. “We’re obviously trying very hard to increase

sponsorships. We’re also pushing to increase the ticket sales. We need to sell out our lottery. We need to sell out our Sports Dinner, which we haven’t done in the last few years. We need people to step up and support the team in any way they can. The long-term viability of the team depends on how many people are willing to step up and help backstop the debt.

That’s what’s happening in other communities and it’s happening at far higher debts than even what we’re dealing with. So, that is a possibility, but it’s not one we want to face.”

were all re-elected to the Neepawa Natives board.

Debra Kasprick and Ward Szucki were elected to the board. A number of people have also stepped forward to be in a support role to the board although they won’t be board members as such.

Current board chair, Ken Waddell said, “ We have a large number of volunteers and workers but attending a monthly board meeting isn’t high on most peoples’ wish list. That said, we have a great group of volunteers and workers.”

Departing board members include Dave Clark, Mike Hodgins and Alan Gillies who have stepped away from their positions with the board.

The team’s next MJHL board of governors member will be elected at the next board meeting.

MJHL pre-season schedule unveiled Neepawa Banner & Press

The pre-season for the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) has been released. The action will kick off on Monday, Sept. 3 and will wrap up on Sept. 18. MJHL commissioner Kim Davis said via media release that the pre-season is an exciting time for players trying to make an impression on their respective coaches.

The pre-season is the first step into junior A hockey,” noted Davis. “Teams are carefully evaluating their talent, both long-term prospects and those players who could potentially be in the line-up for opening night. Pre-season is also a good opportunity for fans to see the stars of the future.”

As for the Neepawa Natives, they’ll play six games in the pre-season schedule, with their first three all on the road.

Those games will see them travel to Winkler on Sept. 4, Waywayseecappo on Sept. 7 and Portage la Prairie on Sept. 8.

The club will return to the Yellowhead Arena for the final three games of the exhibition season. The first game will be Sept. 11 versus the Winkler Flyers. On Sept. 12, the Natives will host the Waywayseecappo Wolverines and then on Sept. 15, they play the final pre-season matchup against the Portage Terriers. The start time for each of those games, set to take play at the Yellowhead Centre, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The complete preseason schedule can be viewed on the MJHL website. The regular season kicks off Friday, Sept.

21 as Neepawa will start its 30th season in the league with a road game in Winkler. The club’s home opener will follow the very next night, when the Natives host the Flyers at the Yellowhead Centre.

Let’s make a deal The Neepawa Natives have traded forward Ryan Heino, as well as the MJHL list rights of defensemen Tyson Fincaryk to the Waywayseecappo Wolverines. In exchange, Neepawa

received defensemen Drayson Skulmoski, the MJHL List Rights of Kurtis Luke and future considerations.

Shortly after the deal was completed, Waywayseecappo traded Heino to the Melville Millionaires of the SJHL. In his rookie year with the Natives last year, Heino accumulated 27 points (7 goals - 20 assists) in 51 games. Skulmoski, meanwhile, had 22 points (9G - 13A) in 48 games for both Wayway and the Virden Oil Capitals.

You and your health

advice for a healthier lifestyle

EXERCISE- THE BEST PRESCRIPTION FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor

By age 40, about 50 per cent of the Canadian population will have or have had a mental illness.

Everyone knows someone that has been affected by this. Being active is the number one thing you can do to change your overall health and it is no surprise that it helps your mental health too. Many studies have shown that simple activities, such as walking, are more effective in treating depression and anxiety than taking conventional medications. This article will answer the questions of why you should use exercise to better your mental health, how to get motivated and how to stick to it.

How exercise helps mental illness Amazing chemical changes occur in our brain when we exercise. Physical activity immediately boosts the brain’s dopamine, n o r e p i n e p h r i n e, a n d serotonin levels—all of which affect focus and attention, improves mood, and brain circulation. In this way, exercise works in much the same way as medications, such as anti-depressants, relaxants, Ritalin and Adderall.

Exercise helps balance out these neurotransmitters and give us an overall improved positive attitude.

Exercise also promotes i m p rove d c i rc u l at i o n and chemical changes in the brain that promote growth of nerve cells. This has a direct impact for

Benefits of Being Active It's medically proven that people who do regular physical activity have: • up to a 35% lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.

• up to a 50% lower risk of type 2 diabetes.

• up to a 50% lower risk of colon cancer.

• up to a 20% lower risk of breast cancer.

• a 30% lower risk of early death.

people with ADHD, due to improved memory, mental clarity, and overall mood.

Studies suggest that a tough workout increases levels of a brain-derived protein (known as BDNF) in the body, believed to help with decision making, higher thinking and learning.

As well as releasing endorphins in the brain, physical activity helps to relax the muscles and relieve tension in the body. Since the body and mind are so closely linked, when your body feels better so, too, will your mind. Getting your muscles working helps to break the cycle of tension created by stress and anxiety.

Exercise is also an injection of self- confidence for most people. When you accomplish climbing that hill or looking at a weed free garden, a smile comes onto your face. Losing pounds from working out also leaves a person feeling excited and

proud.

How to get started The first thing you need to know is that exercise doesn’t just mean going to a gym and lifting weights and sweating half to death on a treadmill. Studies show that one of the most effective form of exercise for depression is simply going for a walk outdoors. Exercise can be light activities, such as gardening, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, climbing stairs, and even fishing!

Another important fact is that you don’t need to exercise for hours at a time or even every day. A recent large study published in The Lancet Psychiatry showed that exercising 45 minutes, three to five times a week is the sweet spot for the amount of exercise needed. Exercise performed in a team sport environment had the best results. Research also shows

that short bouts of exercise, even 15 minutes at a time, still can have a significant impact on depression and anxiety.

How to stick to it Get yourself an exercise buddy and you will motivate each other to get active.

Together, set goals for the week, for the month and for the year and have a reward for each goal reached. Goal setting needs to be gradual and realistic. Start small and build up. If you don’t achieve the goal re-evaluate and keep things flexible.

Keep it simple and do exercises that you like. If you hate running don’t go out and buy a treadmill and end up using it for a clothing rack.

Get yourself an exercise tracker. It’s amazing how those little electronic watches can motivate you to get up and get your steps in. You can go online with

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Banner & Press had a bit of a mystery it had asked the readership to help solve in the July 13 edition of the paper. We had attempted to find out who these people were. The picture was believed to have been from the mid-to-late 1940s. At first, we were unsure of their profession, as some thought perhaps they were nurses or candy stripers. A few individuals contacted us, however, indicating that these ladies were likely waitresses, though the restaurant they worked for was up for debate. There were a few guesses at who the people in the picture were, but we were unable to confirm specific names. The Banner & Press thanks everyone for assisting with the mystery.

Real Estate

Did you know?

Metro Creative Connection Submitted

Prospective real estate investors who hope to buy, hold and rent out their investment properties should first interview potential property managers before buying homes. While it’s possible to find property managers willing to manage single-family homes or duplexes, the financial resource Bankrate.com notes that many property managers prefer to manage large apartment complexes instead. Managing properties is hard work, and without skilled property managers on their side, real estate investors may become overwhelmed by the responsibilities of taking care of their real estate investments while simultaneously trying

to maintain their own residences. Before buying investment properties, prospective real estate investors should interview various local property managers or property management firms, inquiring about their fees and what is included in those fees.

If the cost of hiring property managers drastically cuts into the profits investors hoped to make off their investment properties, they might be better off looking to invest their money in areas other than real estate. Prospective investors can compare the potential return on investment after the cost of property managers has been factored in to the return they might get from more traditional investments to determine if investing in real estate is a sound financial decision.

CATP Air Museum spreads its wings On Aug. 9, the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum held an open house and air show at the Brandon Airport

A Harvard Mark III, built in 1952 put on a great display.

PHOTOS BY KEN AND CHRISTINE WADDELL

Pictured together are a Stearman CFENG piloted by Jeff Bell (left) and Stearman CFVFB piloted by Colin Craddock (right) as they awaited their turn in the skies.

The bright orange Stearman lays down a smoke trail.

The Stearman coming in for a landing. These old planes glide in almost silently as they touch down.

P i c t u r e d r i g h t : Pe t e r Moodie, Chief Pilot for the C ATPM presented a photo to honour Jack Widdicombe, a World War II pilot. Widdicombe recently flew a Tiger Moth at the Russell Fly In Breakfest.

Born on May 21, 1921 at a farm near Foxwarren Manitoba in the RM of Bir tle, Widdicombe graduated from Foxwarren Collegiate Institute and entered Agriculture at the University of Manitoba. He also joined the Army Officers Training Corps, deciding to join the RCAF in 1942 under the BCATP. Widdicombe trained in Canada in Prince Albert and Saskatoon, where he obtained his wings, in the Tiger Moth and Cessna Crane. In 1943 he continued flight training in Britain in Wellington, Halifax and finally the Lancaster.

Widdicombe spent one year flying technicians to and from radio and radar installations with an Oxford twin engine aircraft. He later attained the rank of Flight Lieutenant.

Widdicombe also flew “leaflet drops” over France in Lancaster as part of his training, and has flown on 23 war operations over Europe. After VE Day, he returned to Gander with a Lancaster. He and his crew were supposed to be on their way to the Pacific front, however by the time they arrived in Gander, the war in the Pacific was over as well. In 1946 Widdicombe bought his parents’ farm, farming there for 50 years until 1996. He then retired to Russel Manitoba, and is now an avid golfer, having won numerous gold medals including at the Canadian Seniors while at the age of 95 in Brampton, Ontario.

Ed Moon, Trojan owner and pilot, is outlined by a hazy empty sky as he waits his turn for a fly by.

T-28 Trojan Aircraft CFRWG touched down after its flight.

John McNarry, museum president cranked the Harvard’s electrical system to fire up the plane’s engine.
