It was a sweet day in Neepawa on Saturday, July 21 as the 2018 edition of Jam Fest took to the streets. The outdoor festival was organized by Rochelle Unico, Bernadette Tripon, Rrain Prior and Amanda NaughtonGale and featured street vendors, an art show and a wide array of musical enter t a i n ment. A long with those festivities, two of the events that were quite prominent were the jam tasting competition and walking parade.

For the walking parade, an estimated 300 people converged on the steps of the courthouse building for this show of inclusion within the community.

From there, they walked down Mountain Avenue to the ArtsForward building, waving f lags and playing the traditional musical instruments of Philippine culture known as the paldong and gangsa.

of programming Rrain Prior said they were very pleased with the community overall response to this year’s parade.

“When we arranged the parade last year, it was put together as a showcase of our community’s diversity and inclusion swept

through the streets. Part of the response though was also a reaction towards a negative incident within the community [The Canada Day graffiti]. This year, it was all focused on positivity, so it was wonderful to see there was still a solid number

of participants involved,” Prior emphasized. “We want this to become a legacy of positivity and we feel as though it is.”

To go along with the parade, there was also a massive pot luck dinner that featured roast pigs, salads and a variety of des-

serts. Prior said as many as 500 people partook in the dinner. She said the spirit of sharing in the air was wonderful to behold, though for next year she hopes to see one slight change.

Baby goat’s name is revealed!

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

N e e p a w a ’s n e w e s t resident has been named.

Momma goat Clover’s now four week old son, as of Monday, July 23, has been aptly named “A lfalfa”.

K now n as “A lf ie” for short, the baby goat is now quite active and can be seen playing around their enclosure at the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary.

Sanctuary core committee member Brenda Ferg uson wa s pleased with the response the naming event received.

“We had a good response,” Ferguson elaborated. “We made a few bucks for the bird sanctuary and there were a lot of interesting names.”

The selection of the name was a surprise to everyone, being a “random draw”, as Ferguson stated in an interview.

visitors in the days to come, as hinted at by Ferguson.

T he c or e c om m it t e e member made note that there has been a new influx in attendance, stat ing with pleasant amusement, “They all just make a beeline for the goat”.

Alfalfa was bor n to Clover in the early morning hours of Monday, June 25. The Bird Sanctuary’s committee devised the naming contest shortly after his birth, leaving colouring sheets at the Town of Neepawa office, the Banner & Press office, and the Public Library for any who may have been interested in suggesting a name. Participants wrote their suggestions on the sheets, then dropped them off at the Town office before the July 12 deadline.

Each participant also paid a small fee of $2 per entry, which was put toward the purchase of animal food for the sanctuary’s residents.

If you haven’t stopped i n to see t he a n nu a l Ha nd s O n ex h ibit at A r t s For w a rd a l ready, you’ve still got time. The exhibit, which displays works of local artists in var ious mediums, was originally set up during the first week of July, and will be on display until the end of the month.

This year’s Hands On has seven participating artists from in and around the community, and 20 -25 pieces on display. Mediums featured in the display i nc lude wo o d work i n g (such as scroll saw pieces), acrylic and oil paintings, hand built pottery, and quilting. Each year is entirely unique, and the excitement is ev ident.

surprises. So it’s always exciting, especially when a new artist comes in that we haven’t had before. I never quite know what to expect.”

Prior divulged that a lot of people make art, but don’t realize it themselves.

W it h t he H a nd s O n e x h ibit , A r t s For w a r d seeks to broaden people’s idea of what art is.

“Some people make duck decoys, glass fusings, or carve toys, and these

are all things that we consider art,” said Prior.

“We’re happy to show them at this show.”

The most important thing to note about the exhibit is the locality and openness. “What I love to stress is that it’s all just community artists,” Prior enthused. “It’s open to everybody, and I think it’s really valuable for everyone to see.”

If you miss your chance to view this year’s Hands On you’ll have quite a while to wait. However, an exhibit featuring Wilf Walker’s stained glass work will be displayed in August to help you bide your time. Walker’s exhibit is scheduled to be set up after the upcoming long weekend.

I don’t think people really care

T

o hear politicians, voters and media talk about the attributes they admire in a leader, one would think that people want one who shows a high level of moral goodness.

The leader should be happily married, have well-behaved children. They should have a successful career prior to entering politics. Once they get elected, they should be faithful to their spouse, never have stolen any money from anyone and be completely honest in every way.

If you want to hear all the bad things about a leader, just listen to the opposition or the people supporting an opponent. The critics can’t heap enough scorn on their opponents. Hence, these days, the focal point of critics is U.S. President Donald Trump. He does give opponents a lot of target area for sure. He is painted, in some cases and perhaps with justification, as a liar, a buffoon, a fornicator and many other titles. To hear the opposition and the media, one would think Trump was the worst person to ever be a leader.

There are two sources of irony surrounding this whole scene. The howling of Trump’s opponent has a tinny hollow sound to it. Their hero, Bill Clinton, was a moral failure of the worst kind. Without dragging out his several moral failures, one of which was with a person under his authority, how can Democrats elevate him and trample on Trump? Try reading a biography of President John F. Kennedy and not wonder how despicable (and charming) he was. Just to keep a balance, Republican president, Dwight

Ken Waddell Eisenhower, was no angel. It goes back and forth. Regardless of generation, regardless of party, many leaders have fallen far from the accepted ideal.

On the Canadian scene, the criticisms are usually more muted. Most of our pr ime ministers and federal leaders have to lead a much duller life than the alleged activities of U.S. presidents. They are either of higher moral fibre, have less vigorous critics or are a lot better at hiding their indiscretions. Former Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper was harshly criticized for looking shifty and cold. Hardly an issue that ranks with Trump, Clinton or Kennedy. Lester Pearson, along with former Conservative leader Robert Stanfield, was criticized for being dull. John Diefenbaker was dubbed an eccentric with a huge ego.

A s t he colum n head l i ne contends, do people rea l ly care? They only seem to care about a leader’s shortfalls if they are on the opposite side of the political spectrum. A politician’s supporters only seem to care about results, not moral character or even dullness. The big question in voters’ minds seems to be, not the failings

of their hero but two basic results: do they win elections and do they get results? No shortcomings seem to matter to loyal supporters, only results.

So, the Trump supporters might be misguided in our view, considering how apparently outrageous Trump seems to be, but they like the apparent results. The North Korea stand down, tighter border controls, standing up to Iran and the most important issue to people, the economy. Remember what Clinton said, “It’s the economy, stupid!”

It does not seem to matter how dull or despicable a leader may be, the apparent results are what counts with supporters. It is the faults that matter to the opponents, but it is the results that matter to supporters. To supporters, no fault seems to matter. To opponents, no results seem to count.

I guess people really do care, it is just about different things, depending on their point of view.

estman residents can be forgiven for forgetting that a provincial by-election just took place. While usually dull affairs, that wasn’t the case this time and the outcome could have an interesting impact on the province’s political future.

When the polls closed in the St. Boniface riding on July 17, the results were surprising.

The seat had been held by New Democratic Party (NDP) MLA and former prem ier Greg MY Selinger since PERSPECTIVE 1999. The NDP, the prov ince’s O f f i c i a l Opposition, considered it a Kate safe seat. Voters Jackman-Atkinson had other ideas; instead of returning the NDP to the Leg via candidate Blandine Tona, new Liberal leader Dougald Lamont won the seat with 2,636 votes, or 42 per cent of the ballots cast. The NDP was a distant second, with 1,782 votes or 28.44 per cent. The governing Progressive Conservatives (PC) finished fourth, behind the Green Party, with 826 votes. The by-election attracted almost 47 per cent of eligible voters, which is a decent turnout when you consider that in the 2017 Point Douglas by-election, only 31 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots and in the 2016 general election, only 63 per cent of St. Boniface voters and 57 per cent of all Manitobans cast ballots.

This by-election result certainly makes things interesting.

With Lamont’s win, the Manitoba Liberals now have four seats and official party status for the first time in 23 years.

This opens the door to more funding for the party and allows Lamont, who was chosen as the party’s leader last October, to ask questions of PC premier Brian Pallister and his ministers during question period.

There’s a long way to go for the Liberals to recreate their 1988 peak of 20 seats and Official Opposition status, under leader Sharon Carstairs, but conditions could be ripe come the next general election in 2020. The party’s 1988 victory was thanks to the support of centre-left voters who were unhappy with the unpopular NDP government under Howard Pawley.

It’s more of the same 30 years later. After being relegated to Official Opposition in the 2016 election, the NDP still can’t seem to find their footing, despite electing a new leader last September. The NDP now has only 12 MLAs, their lowest number since 1988, and a lot of baggage from almost 20 years in power.

While the NDP are likely to be on the losing end of any gains made by the Liberals, the Conservatives aren’t entirely out of the woods. There won’t be any short term implications; the PCs still holds a majority and can pass bills without the support of other parties. However, they won the last election on a wave of discontented voters who wanted a change from the NDP, who had been in power since 1999. A series of moves aimed at trimming the budget have upset many voters. With a third option, the PCs need to, at a minimum, do a better job of explaining why the cuts are needed and what impact they will really have on front line services, which is top of mind for many voters.

Sitting in the ideological middle, the Liberals have the potential to pick up centrist voters from both sides of the political spectrum and could be a wild card come 2020. I don’t like a two party system, there’s too much incentive to govern for the fringes, not the majority. There’s too much antagonism and us-versus-them.

Having three viable parties means that if they want to win, all parties must pay attention to the majority and that’s a good thing for the majority of our province’s residents. Keeping our politicians on their toes is never a bad thing.

Learning from our past Observation I A

By Addy Oberlin

s I wr ite these words, I have just finished watching a 13-part BBC series on the second world war. It’s about the fifth or sixth time I have viewed this series; and whenever I do, the anger I feel when observing the carnage of those days is something I find difficult to control.

I a m a lso read i ng William Shirer’s book on The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and Winston Churchill’s 6-part series on WWII. And when I get tired of reading that stuff; I spend some time reading Philip Schaff ’s History of the Christian Church and Edward Gibbon’s The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Incidentally, if you are prone to extensive periods of anxiety, despair or depression, I wouldn’t recommend that you read any of the above books or watch any of the videos.

What you see and read will only add to what you’re already feeling.

That being said, you may wonder why I spend so much time reading or

E

FAITHFULLY YOURS

Neil Strohschein viewing such distressing material. In my younger years, I was fascinated by what I read. Today, I am looking for specific clues to help me understand why, at different times in history, countries have gone to war and in the course of the fighting, have come close to obliterating their enemies and themselves.

Most of the wars I’ve read about were started by people who were driven by political ideology, religious zeal, racism or (in most cases) all three to various degrees. They did not go to war immediately. Most spent years spreading their beliefs through books and public speeches.

Then, when they had what they believed to be a f irm base of support among the common people in their own country, they seized power (sometimes

democratically, sometimes not) and used the power afforded them to demand concessions from their neighbors. Those who refused to give in to their demands were invaded and in many cases conquered.

The conquered appealed for help, other countries offered assistance and were drawn into what ultimately became a world war.

In today’s world, we tend to take a very limited view of history. We are quick to condemn (as we should be) some of the extreme beliefs and practices of the past. We are committed (again, as we should be) to doing what we can to address the lingering effects of these actions and seek to be reconciled with those who still carry the scars of those activities.

Sadly, that is often as far as we go. We are quick to condemn beliefs and

actions—but in doing so, we often display the same bad attitudes that afflicted and corrupted those whose act ion s we condem n.

The end result is that we use extremism to f ight extremism—and while one side will make its point and will win the argument, the hurt feelings and animosity remain.

By carefully studying history, we will discover the attitudes that created the conditions that lead to war.

And since humanity hasn’t changed all that much from creation to the present day, our study of history will do two things. It will help us identify those attitudes in those who lead us; and it will help us identify them when we display them ourselves.

Then, having identified those attitudes and seen how prevalent they are, perhaps we will feel the urge to look for a better way to treat people—for a better way to settle disputes when they arise so that they don’t result in argument, fighting, war and bloodshed.

We’ l l e x plor e t h at alternative in greater detail next week.

When doing a job...

choes of the o ld a d a g e , one of my mot her ’s favourite’s, ran through my head as I contemplated a dreaded task. Painting the interior of the attached garage. Wanted to get it done, not do it. It’s hard work. The prepping is what I don’t like doing.

And I did not want to do it when it was plus 30 in the shade with a humidex that defied logic.

The day was cool. I had the paint at home, and the brushes and the rollers and the tray and the painter’s tape. I had already swept the f loors and wiped down the walls. No valid reason not to start. And so I did.

The walls have been panelled, the k ind w ith all the depressed a nd de pr e s s i n g l i ne s .

T h a n k f u l ly t he f u z z y roller brush was able to competently penetrate the grooves. A reason to not complain. I had heeded

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen expert advice and was using an oil base primer, a stain blocker. It stinks. The doors were partially open and a wonderful breeze wafted through regularly.

A nother reason to not complain. I was edging white paint to a white ceiling, well, a dirty white ceiling, and there were very few telltale marks where I edged too close.

No complaints here either.

A ll told, the project went wonderfully well.

T he g a r a g e h a s s e en better days, the back wall at one point had been nudged severa l inches off base. Thankfully my handy person sledged it back, one inch at a time.

The concrete has heaved.

Not my fault, close to the tracks and no re-bar to tie it together. That project scares me! The new door, replacing the one I backed into, is pretty. It needed better surroundings, and so I was prompted to paint.

A job well done In just a few hours the place looked much better, and that is just with the undercoat. Imagine what she will look like with her party dress! I debated with myself whether I needed to paint the west wall, the one with the garage door and the cables and the opener and the people door and all the mounts. I don’t see that

wall when I walk into the garage. I don’t see that wall when I go to the car. But it is there. I see it when I leave the place. And it needed paint as well. That little wall took as long to paint as the open long wall did.

And truthfully I did not paint the area above the garage door. Don’t look.

I had walked the dogs, I had undercoated the garage, I had run errands.

It was a very good day.

Even swabbed the f loors and tidied the counters.

I wanted more. The air was cool and pleasant, my chores were all well done, and so I wheeled the bike out of the back garage and headed out. Folks are used to seeing me walking, with my dogs, not biking.

We had new points of conversation.

Back to the adage, ‘when doing a job, do it with might. Things done half way are never done right.’

No half ways today!

t is time to sort, shred and recycle. My daughter came over for a few days and brought armfuls of old music, not played for years and boxes with old bills up from the basement. Now it is my job to close this era in my life where I kept everything, ‘just in case I might need it some day’. I believe it is a left over from growing up during and after WWII. People who have gone through the thirties might understand what I am saying. Now I am preparing to move to a smaller place and have to say good-bye to some of my treasures. It is difficult but part of life.

The saying on my office door reminds me again that “The Lord will continually guide you” (Isaiah 58:11). I trust that He will guide me, just one step at a time and one day at a time. I just have to continue to put my trust in Him. He will bring it to pass.

Be a Donor Only 3.7 per cent of Canadians are blood donors yet 100 percent are potential recipients. What motivates people to be a blood donor?

For me, my father, Reuben Zettler, provided the example. In 1936 he donated blood so a 5 year old relative could live. Walter Zettler was a sick little boy. His parents took him to the family doctor, Dr Otoole, in Walkerton, Ontario, who had him transferred to Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto. Doctors there determined he had meningitis and required a blood transfusion.

A problem arose. Walter had a rare blood type and there was no record of anyone with that type at any Toronto or area hospital. They called back to Dr Otoole and gave him the arduous task of calling in all relatives to get tested for their blood type as this held the best possibility of finding a donor-parents, immediate family, aunts and uncles on both sides and cousins. When they got to my dad, a second cousin, prayers were answered.

He was a match.

Dad hitched a ride to Toronto on a cattle truck the next day and made his way to Sick Children’s Hospital where a unit of blood was given to Walter. He came back as directed the following day and a second unit was given. The third day he came back, Walter’s condition had stabilized, no donation required. When he came back the fourth day Walter’s condition had improved – my dad could go home.

Today Walter is 86 years old and lives in Walkerton.

He had an active life as a Bruce County farmer and is now retired. The results of my father’s donation inspired many family members to be blood donors. I just made my 100th donation. For our family of 9, 8 are able to donate. Our oldest, Mary has donated 112 times. She also coordinates a monthly blood drive at the office where she works in Winnipeg. Our youngest, Daniel has donated 31 times.

Knowing a relative benefited from my father’s donation is a powerful motivator-but really we all know somebody that needed a transfusion due to an accident, sickness or an operation. They live thanks to an anonymous donor. I hope all who read this will consider being a blood donor if not already one.

Today donation is convenient-you don’t have to make a 240 mile round trip and be away four days as my dad did in 1936. If you are reasonably healthy and 18 or older call Canadian Blood Services at 1 888 2DONATE(1 888 236 6283) and get the details on donating or better still book an appointment. Give so someone can live.

Fair transforms hostile atmosphere to heaven on earth The mayoral election seemed a million miles away on Friday night at the Spring County Fair. With “Silver Tongue” firmly entrenched in his role as leader of the Valley for two more years, it was as if the good folks breathed a collective sigh as they caravanned en masse to participate in the most anticipated county fair performance in memory.

I somehow managed to get up the nerve to invite Mary Ann Tinkersley to attend the show with me. I wasn’t sure if she was as excited as I was about our first official date. We had been exercising sheep together for the better part of four months, and in my thinking it was just a matter of time before we became “official.”

Although Springfield, the county seat, had a much larger population than our town, it seemed as if almost half the crowd was from the Valley.

Perhaps the bigger city folks didn’t understand the star power of Tangi Blevins.

Springfield radio stations had been playing Tangi’s biggest hit, “Turn Your Radio On,” several times each day during County Fair week. Even Raymond Cooper, firmly entrenched in the battle of his life, made it a habit to begin each day by playing the song as his station came on the air.

Husbands in their flannel shirts and boots, and wives in their finest jean skirts were dressed for a night on the town. It was probably the biggest date night in years for the folks of my hometown. Even my mom and dad got dressed up for the occasion.

Not everyone had a date. I noticed

Juliet Stoughton walking through the fair gate alone as I stood in line to buy a funnel cake for Mary Ann. I figured she was meeting someone, or perhaps she needed a night on her own after the long campaign. Being new to the area, my guess was Ms. Stoughton probably didn’t understand she was participating in one of the biggest nights in Valley history.

Like every big-time concert, the warm-up act preceded the main event.

Little Lori Tolliver wowed the crowd with her banjo playing and pitchperfect voice. When she belted out “Stand By Your Man,” her 12-yearold voice filled the outdoor arena.

Her trilogy of sentimental favorites, including “Roses for Mama,” “10-4 Teddybear,” and “Blind Man in the Bleachers,” left barely a dry eye among the audience sitting in the folding metal stadium seats.

Being the true showperson she was, she lifted those same spirits with the finest banjo version of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” heard to this day.

The audience was beside itself as Tangi Blevins and the Heavenly Hosts made their way to the stage. It was years before I realized the irony as she kicked off her performance

Corrections

In the July 13 edition of the Banner & Press, in the photo essay ‘Fashionable appearances at Clear Lake’, it was suggested that the Cove Fashion Show took place on Saturday, July 7. The event actually occured on Saturday, June 23, during Wasagaming Moonlight Madness.

As well, in the July 20 edition, the name of Neepawa’s fire chief was misspelt. The correct spelling is Yves Guillas.

with a song made famous by the father-daughter duo, The Kendalls: “Heaven’s just a sin away, Oh whoa, just a sin away, I can’t wait another day, I think I’m giving in.

Though I’d love to hold you tight, Oh whoa, be with you tonight, But that still won’t make it right, ‘Cause I belong to him.”

In true gospel fashion, the Heavenly Hosts, two 20-something backup singers in mid-length denim skirts with chevron patterns and yellow boots, pointed toward the heavens as they sang, “‘cause I belong to Him.” Tangi knew how to put on a show, and there was no way she was going to sing her biggest hit until late in her performance, possibly as an encore.

Midway through the show, I felt Mary Ann lay her head against my shoulder as Tangi sang the Dolly Parton classic, “I Will Always Love You.” As I looked over toward Mary Ann, I saw Juliet Stoughton from the corner of my eye. It looked like she might be crying. I suppose a love song, sang by a true artist like Tangi Blevins, can do that.

A moment later I looked back and she was gone. I figured she’d gone to the concession stand to get a funnel cake. It was several years before I realized how wrong I was.

Thai curry chicken

Thai food is one of my favourites! While visiting friends we made a flavorful Thai recipe that was simple and tasty. Pre-made red, yellow and green curry pastes or sauces can be purchased at almost any grocery store and saves a lot of time. Thai curries are delicious, but what’s really the difference in the various colours? Although all three colors may be spicy-hot depending on the brand, normally green is the mildest and red the hottest with yellow falling somewhere in between. Red curry is made with red chilies for a fiery hot dish, while green curry is made with green chilies, coriander, kaffir lime leaf and basil. Yellow curry is made with yellow chilies and the vital ingredient is turmeric for a sweet and tangy taste.

Green curry coconut chicken 3-4 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces 2 Tbsp. oil 1 large onion, coarsely diced 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 1 can coconut milk 3-4 tsp. green curry paste

2 tsp. freshly grated ginger 1 red pepper, sliced 2 large carrots, sliced 1 package mushrooms, washed and sliced 1-2 baby zucchini, sliced 1/2 cup chopped basil cooked Jasmine rice

To a large pot or skillet add the oil, then the chicken and cook about 5 minutes, stirring all the while. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for several minutes. Add the coconut milk.

Bring to a low boil and add the curry paste and ginger and stir well. Add the peppers, carrots and mushrooms and gently simmer for 7-9 minutes until veggies are tender crisp. Add the zucchini and basil and cook stirring for several minutes. Taste and add additional curry paste, salt, pepper, etc. to taste. Serve over Jasmine rice.

Province invests in Agassiz Six communities receive funding

NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS 7

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Several community projects across the Agassiz constituency have received some new support from the Manitoba government. On Monday, July 23, the province announced an investment of $101,273 to be divided amongst 10 different projects in six different communities. Projects being funded include: MacGregor - One Hope Ministries of Canada ($50,000), Neepawa - Neepawa & District Centennial Project Committee Inc. ($18,743), Neepawa - Town of Neepawa. ($5,000 and $2,500), Carberry and North Cypress/Langford - ($13,645), Carberry - Town of Carberry ($1,300), McCreary - McCreary Centennial Arena Inc. ($8,333), Kelwood - Harvest Sun Music & Art Society Inc. ($1,000), Kelwood- Kelwood Development Committee ($500) and Gladstone - Municipality of Westlake/Gladstone ($252) In the media release announcing the funding, Agassiz MLA Eileen Clarke stated that she was very pleased that the provincial government was making these investments into such a wide array of communities with the constituency. Clarke also added that projects like these make our communities stronger and improve the quality of life for Manitoba families.

An investment in safety For Neepawa, the largest investment has been slated for an ice plant monitoring system upgrade at the Yellowhead Centre. That project has received $18,743. The system’s function is to warn people of a potential ammonia leak or other system malfunction. The topic became one of national concern because of the death of three arena workers exposed to gas in Fernie B.C., late last year.

Yellowhead Centre director of operations Chris Turner said an upgrade like this is so important to the future of the facility.

“An upgrade like this improves safety, which is top of mind for many operators of older arenas, due to what happened in Fernie last year. The safety of the all the facility users and staff is the number one concern. So, anywhere where we can improve safety around the facility, that’s what we’re doing,” Turner stated. “We have always ensured our system is in good shape, but these new upgrades are the newest, most advanced technology available.”

The software for the monitoring system is expected to be installed at the Yellowhead Centre by late December or early January. As for the two other projects that received support in Neepawa, they were $5,000 for improvements to the Town office and $2,500 to assist in the development of the Neepawa Tourism initiative.

Elsewhere in Agassiz The largest single investment will go to One Hope Ministries in MacGregor, which received $50,000. That money will go towards an expansion at the Valley View Bible Camp, a western themed facility, located just south of MacGregor.

Another notable investment is headed to the Carberry Plains Community Centre, which received $13,645. Plans for that cash are focused toward the Swimming Pool slide.

Meanwhile, in McCreary, the $8,333 slated for them will go towards the replacement of flooring in the viewing area of the Centennial Arena.

While the federal election is still a full 15 months away, Dan Mazier has already spent a fair amount of time hitting the campaign trail, all in an effort is simply earn the right to do it all over again in 2019. Earlier this month, the 54-year-old from Justice put his name forward as a Conservative Party of Canada nominee for the soon to be vacant seat in the Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa electoral riding. Mazier is looking to fill the position currently held by Robert Sopuck, who announced back in May that he will not run in the next federal election.

In an interview the Banner & Press, Mazier noted that as soon as Sopuck’s decision was announced, his own phone started to ring, with various individuals urging him to put his name forward to fill the vacancy.

“It was friends and former colleagues that I have worked with over the years who gave me a call, bringing to my attention Bob’s decision to not seek reelection. They said it was a window of opportunity if I was so inclined to let my name stand,” said Mazier.

“This was something that I had not previously considered. But many different friends and people had noted that through my work as Keystone Agricultural Producers [KAP] president, I had worked alongside many people both at a federal and provincial level.

They felt that wealth of experience is what our district needs. The last eight years with KAP has, in a way been training for this, so after some consideration, I thought our riding did need some good voices in Ottawa and I could be that voice.”

As a part of this process, the now former Keystone Agricultural Producers president has been traveling all across the riding, gathering memberships for the party. Over the course of this journey, Mazier said that this opportunity to speak with people has been tremendous.

“It’s been about three weeks for us, traveling across the region gathering memberships, because that’s part of the nomination process.

Because you are essentially applying for the job of being the conservative nominee.

So you go out to all these different communities and speak with people from all walks of life. The response has been positive. There’s obviously some who aren’t interested in signing up and that’s understandable.

Some saying ‘I’m not a political person.’ and I respect that. But even then,

just talking with them and learning about their communities and what they are concerned about has been a valuable experience,” noted Mazier. “For those who are perhaps unfamiliar with my background, I hope they will give me a chance and get to know me. That’s all I’m asking. This entire process right now isn’t about putting your support into a political party. That’s for the election next year. This is just about supporting me.

You and your health

advice for a healthier lifestyle

Your gut and you: Why optimizing digestive function is foundational for your overall wellness

By Dr. Jill Kazuk Submitted

Time and again people have been told “you are what you eat” and, to a degree, this is true. I’d like to build upon that notion and argue that…You are more than what you eat.

Instead, you are what you digest, absorb and what you do not eliminate. What I’m referring to is the quality of your digestive function and, thus, the health of your gastrointestinal tract. You may be making optimal food choices, but if you’re not properly absorbing and utilizing those vital nutrients all your good intentions become lacklustre.

Some health concerns are undeniably gastrointestinal in origin – gas, bloating, constipation, abdominal pain, reflux, nausea, and vomiting.

Crohn’s, colitis, gastritis, ulcers if you want to get more specific. Other conditions/ symptoms are less-often discussed in correlation to the digestive tract despite their direct relation. These include, but are not limited to, brain fog, fatigue, disrupted sleep, hormonal imbalance, mood imbalances, impaired immune function, muscle aches and pains, skin issues, autoimmune disease, and the list goes on.

We don’t absorb food, we absorb nutrients Digestion begins before food even touches our mouth – it starts with thinking about, smelling, preparing, and cooking food. The enzymatic cascade that takes place while we eat is an intricate process that is very susceptible to being derailed and one which, unfortunately, we are all guilty of taking for granted.

What disrupts digestion Many things can disrupt digestion, however her are some of the most common culprits: • Food intolerances Removing food intolerances is integral to healthy gastrointestinal function.

Food intolerances are not the same as food sensitivities/allergies which are immune-mediated responses

(think IgG, IgE testing) which can occur as a result of consuming one’s food intolerances. Food intolerances can disrupt the tight junctions of the gastrointestinal lining, causing gut permeability or “leaky gut,” and chronic low-grade inflammation in the body.

• Poor diet choices Processed foods, refined carbohydrates, sugars, hydrogenated oils (margarine), high fructose corn syrup, low-fat dairy products, powdered eggs, soda, juice, condiments, genetically-modified seafood and conventionally-raised meat...this list goes on.

These are not real foods and your body does not know what to do with them.

Although they trigger real physiological and hormonal responses in the body, rather than nourish the system they cause disruption.

• Infections Infections can originate from multiple sources - bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic – and can exist sub-clinically for decades, wreaking havoc on healthy gut flora and function, increasing intestinal permeability, and elevating inflammation levels.

• Low stomach acids Hydrochloric acid is re-

leased in our stomach upon ingestion of food and is integral to creating an environment conducive to breaking down food and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria.

When stomach acid is decreased, food stagnates causing poor absorption awhile fostering breeding grounds for undesirable organisms.

• Heavy metal toxicity Heavy metals are toxic to the human body and easily damage the delicate mucosal layer that surrounds the inner lining of the intestines (in addition to a milieu of other problems). Without the presence of a healthy mucosal layer, good bacteria cannot colonize properly, immune function decreases, and susceptibility to further intestinal insults rises.

• Pharmaceuticals Corticosteroids, antibiotics, antacids (TUMS, proton-pump inhibitors), non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen) degrade the intestinal wall, wipe out beneficial gut flora, decrease stomach acid, down-regulate normal inflammatory responses, and cause chronic digestive imbalances.

• Chronic stress This is by far the most

common reason for digestive dysfunction. What is intriguing about this process is that when we are under high levels of stress, our body isn’t concerned with digesting and the entire process is diminished.

This makes sense when we are in the midst of a soccer game – we want all our focus and energy to go towards fuelling our muscles and brain. The problem is, our body perceives all stress as just that, stress. Rushing to work, talking on the phone while driving, all while downing your breakfast smoothie = stress. Imagine no lysing enzymes, no rhythmic churning, no slow and methodical breakdown, little absorption, and even less energy even though you technically “had” breakfast…and it’s only 9:00 a.m. Instead, think inflammation, bloating, heartburn, abdominal pain, burping, fatigue, and…mid-morning sugar cravings!

“Paleo, corn-free, egg-free, nut-free, I’ve tried Keto, I’m reactive to everything…

Nothing works for me!”

Sound familiar?

Just as there are countless reasons how digestion can

go wrong, there are countless reasons why one diet does not work for everyone.

So this is all fine and dandy, what do you do?

The big looming question is ‘what can you do?’

• Dial in your diet. Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods, regular meal times, frequency and proportions.

• Practice food hygiene: allocate time for menu planning and food preparation. Sit down for your meals (not in the car, not at your desk, not at your children’s soccer game).

Sit down at a table intended to do one and only one thing: eat. Be present with your food and mindful of what you’re eating. Chew. Enjoy relaxing company. Allow yourself time to rest and digest. Take more than 3 minutes to eat so that you learn to recognize when your body is getting full. Start taking proportions that mirror this newfound knowing-ness • Drink clean water.

This is the most affordable medicine available to you – stay hydrated.

• Support your own natural detoxification process by dry skin brushing, sweating and deep breathing daily.

• Get outside and move - breathe fresh air.

• Allow enough time for adequate sleep at night.

• Have fun, laugh, play.

As we get older we can often forget this simple self-care practice. Find things that bring you joy and do them regularly.

If you have all of these basic treatment guidelines in place and you are still experiencing suboptimal health, it’s likely time to seek professional help. There IS a doctor who can help you with this, takes the time to understand your health history and current concerns. Most people don’t understand naturopathic doctors exist so take a minute this week to share this with someone you know.

Obituary VELMA LOWE On Friday, April 27th, 2018, at Country Meadows PCH, our beloved Mom, Gramma, and Great-Gramma passed away peacefully at the age of 92.

She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children, Joan (Jim), Arlene (Jim), Bert (Lillian) and Harris (Jennifer); grandchildren, Mark, Dawn (Mike), Drew, Roger, Dennis, Miranda, Harrison, Jayden and Rachelle; great-grandchildren, Aidan, Joelle, Rory, sister Hazel, sister-in-laws, Hazel, Barb and Norma, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Velma was predeceased by her husband Ralph, her brother Clarence and his wife Irma.

In her life she was a teacher, an egg-grader, a farm hand, a housewife, a meat cutter, a bookkeeper, plus an accomplished seamstress. Her love of sewing was evident in her devotion as a 4-H leader, Tangled Threads Quilting Club member and the numerous fair competitions where she won 1st place honors in sewing, knitting, canning and baking. There was always fresh baking in her pantry and her famous butter tarts, bread and buns were most desired.

Velma enjoyed playing baseball and golfing but it was her love of curling that brought her the most joy and notoriety.

From the early years at Arden and Neepawa curling clubs, she racked up a long list of championships, plus won many weekend bonspiels with family and friends at her side. She represented our district several times at provincial championships, and was inducted into the Neepawa Curling Club Hall of Fame.

Velma was a member of the Inkerman, Arden and Neepawa United Church and a distinguished member of the I.O.O.F Lodge, as a Rebecca, till the lodge closed.

She was proud of her contributions to the community, and the life long friendships that remained till her busy life began to fail.

Velma's family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Country Meadows for their love and respect shown during her time there. A memorial tribute in her name to the PCH activities fund would be greatly appreciated.

A celebration of life will be held August 1, 2018, with a 1:30 internment at Riverside Cemetery, followed with a time of fellowship in the Legion club-room. Everyone is welcome to join the family on this special day of remembrance.

“My Cup Runneth Over” One should never need to experience the loss of a loved one who was so dear to so many. So dear to my family and I. Kerry Leigh. Over the past few weeks, our wonderful community of family, friends, neighbors and past colleagues, have taken a difficult journey from us and have guided us with fellowship and support.

Realization set in as to what a wonderful world we have been living in and can look forward to embracing in the future, with renewed and refreshed contacts. No words will ever express how much this has all meant in our time of need, but your words to us, your hugs, cards, flowers and the mysterious food that showed up in our fridge, have all been a warm fuzzy in our hearts. I pray that I will be able to honor your kindness shown so freely to my family, to return your support when you are in need.

I have nothing but praise for all the medical interventions that have assisted along the way, and to first responders, who in a difficult moment in our life, performed a stressful and compassionate duty.

Dr. Kzryzaniuk, Kerry thought you were such a dear, so do we!

To my wonderful kids, thank you for keeping your dad afloat, when he was unable to tread in his lake of tears, without your lifejackets of love and support.

Real estate agents help buyers and sellers through the often complicated process of navigating the real estate market. Individuals not only want to find an agent with expertise, but also one with whom they have a strong rapport. By asking agents certain questions up front, prospective home buyers and sellers can find the right real estate agent for their needs and save time and money in the process. The following tips can help buyers and sellers find the right agent.

OPEN HOUSE SUN. JULY 29TH 2 – 4 PM South on PR #466 3.5 miles from Hwy 16 watch for signs

· Find out how long the agent has been in the business, including how many homes he or she turns over on average. Think about using an agent who is a full-time real estate professional, rather than one who only dabbles part-time. · Consider which geographic areas the agent handles. It's best to find an agent who is familiar with a particular town, city or even subdivision. · Assess the agent's personality and ability to remain calm under pressure.

He or she can then extend that placid demeanor on to buyers or sellers who may be feeling stressed by the prospect of home ownership.

Cubs to host Senior AA Provincials

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

For the second straight year, Neepawa will serve as host to the Senior AA Provincial Baseball Championship. This premier sporting event will feature eight teams representing a variety of leagues from across Manitoba. As the host club, the Neepawa Cubs receive an automatic invitation to the Provincials. As well, the Portage Padres will serve as the representative from the Santa Clara Baseball League, due to winning the regular season pennant with a 13-1-0 record. Other teams that have secured spots in the tournament include: Brandon Cardinals (Brandon Senior AA) Springfield Braves (Winnipeg Senior AA) Boissevain Centennials (Southwest League) Morden Hawks (Border League) Hamiota Red Sox (Wildcard entry) Cartwright Twins (Wildcard entry) Off the field, representatives with the Neepawa Cubs are optimistic they’ll be able to match the tremendous success of the 2017 Provincials. Last year, an estimated 400-500 people from across Manitoba attended at least some portion of the three-day event.

Cubs player/coach Scott Newton said the community stepped up in a big way in 2017 to assist with the weekend. He’s hopeful we’ll bring just as much enthusiasm to this year’s festivities.

“In order to ensure this weekend is a success, they need to find people who are willing to volunteer their time. There have been a few [individuals] already, who have contacted the club, indicating that they’d like to help in some way.

We’re thankful for that support and are hoping others will also step up to ensure we are ready off the field as well,” said Newton. “Hosting an event of this size was significant for the community.

We received many compliments from reps with Baseball Manitoba and from visitors last on how well everything was staged. It really proved to be a great showcase everything that Neepawa has to offer.”

As for volunteering during the event, there are a wide variety of jobs to fill, including gatekeepers, grounds crew, scorekeepers, announcers and workers for the concession stand and beer gardens.

Newton stressed, however, that they’ll ensure that volunteering is not an overly taxing job. He noted every little bit of support helps. Anyone interested in helping out with the event is asked to contact Scott Newton, either via phone at (204) 841-4727, or by email at scottnewton.nf@gmail.com. The 2018 Senior AA Provincial Baseball Championship will be held in Neepawa from Aug 10-12.

Neepawa Fair Grounds

Come and cheer on the Neepawa Cubs!

Despite losing, the Neepawa Cubs can take some solace in knowing they pushed the Portage Padres to their absolute limit and that they’ll likely get another crack at them come the Provincials in mid-August. But until that time, it’s the Padres who have bragging rights, as well as a shot at the SCBL Championship. Portage cemented that

chance at the title thanks to an 8-6 extra innings win over Neepawa on Wednesday, July 18.

The game proved to be a tremendous back-and-forth battle. After some early scoring, both pitching staff settled down in the final few innings of the game. Neepawa’s Garrett Rempel and Portage’s Dylan Donald came into the game as relief pitchers and allowed no runs over the final three innings.

The Cubs did have an incredible opportunity to win in the bottom of the seventh with a pair of runners on second and third and just one out. A line drive hit directly back to Donald, however, was able to generate a shocking double play and send the contest into extra innings.

For the SCBL, Baseball Canada rules would come into play. Those rules state that runners will start on first and second base and the

teams will proceed as normal.

The Padres were up first and scored a pair. In the bottom of the inning, the Cubs were blanked and lost 8-6.

Portage now moves on to the league finals where they will face the Carberry Royals. Carberry made it into the championship by sweeping the Minnedosa Mavericks 2-gamesto-none. Game one of final will take place on Friday, July 27 inPortage la Prairie.

Jam Fest establishing a legacy of positivity Continued from page one “Hopefully we get a few more side dishes,” Prior noted with a chuckle. “There were so many people who brought main dishes to share, which was great, but a couple more sides or desserts would probably even things out for next year. But definitely, want to express our gratitude to everyone who was involved. The meal was amazing and distributing the food went quite smoothly this year.

We learned a few lessons from last year and were able to get everything accomplished pretty quickly. It ensured everyone was fed and had a good time.”

Another big part of the fun was the jam tasting competition. For this year, 13 quality jams and jellies were up for judgment, with Sidney Poettcker’s chokecherry jam claiming the top prize.

Looking ahead, Prior said the organizers are very optimistic about the future of Jam Fest.

“We want to ensure the day has a legacy of positivity and in just two years, it’s starting to feel that way. We are very thankful to everyone who volunteered on the day and to the sponsors. Settlement Services partnered with us to aid in staging the festivities, so a big shout out to them. All the musical acts were great and well received. The artists and vendor as well. People have been very positive about this and already looking forward to next year.”

Over 300 people took to the streets of Neepawa on Saturday, July 21 for the walking parade.
