Banner & Press that the $4.4 million project is well underway. It is being half funded by the federal government. What is unique is that the new wastewater treatment process is the first of it’s kind in Western Canada.

At the last council meeting, Councillor Murray Parrott, Pub-

lic Works chairman, submitted a committee update on the project.

Following is a summary of that report.

“Recog nizing the need to upgrade the lagoon system to accommodate current community growth and increase lagoon capacity for the future, the Town

of Neepawa, in conjunction with the findings contained within a feasibility study completed in 2016, began exploring the opportunity to participate in pilot project for the biological removal of nutrients in the treated lagoon effluent.

On Tuesday, Aug. 28, John Drinkwater of the Neepawa Banner & Press presented Penny Birch (on right) with the $200 prize certificate from the 2018 Meals in the Field contest. This years Meals in the Fields was sponsored by Chicken Corral, Beautiful Plains Credit Union, Kulbacki Seeds LTD., MNP LLP and the Neepawa Banner & Press.

Two people sustained serious injuries in a multiveh icle accident near Neepawa on Thursday, Aug. 23. Fire, police and ambulance crews were called to the scene on Hwy. 16, just east of Neepawa at around 8:45 a.m.

Initial reports suggested that a vehicle was attempting to pass some farming equipment that was driving along the edge of the road.

It’s believed that when the passenger vehicle shifted into the oncoming traffic lane, it collided head-on with another vehicle headed in the opposite direction.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Mark Morehouse has confirmed to the Banner & Press that a 54-year-old man from Portage la Prairie and a 48-year-old woman from Canupawakpa Dakota First Nation were injured in the accident.

cordoned off the scene and began relaying traffic to an alternative route. The STARS air ambulance service was also called to assist with the transport of one of the injured. A landing area was prepared to land on Hwy. 16, but was then re-directed to the Neepawa airport.

Two ambulances were

seen leaving the accident site and went to Neepawa hospital, while a third ambulance was called in to take the STARS crew to the hospital to pick up an accident victim. STARS are no longer allowed to land at Neepawa Hospital due to Transport Canada regulations.

Priscilla, a character who is also in the series, is based on a real woman from the past, and uses true transcripts from her divorce. Hope in Oakland can be summarized as “women of the past fighting injustice”. This installment follows the release of the series’ second part, “The Night They Came for Til”, which was written first.

“I did it wrong,” Jenkins commented with a hearty laugh. “I wrote The Night They Came for Til and I said, that’s it. I just wanted to write this one book for my niece! And then people liked it!”

A self-publishing Souris author revisited Neepawa’s Margaret Laurence Home last week Thursday, Aug.23, for the launch of her newest book “Hope in Oakland”.

The author, Rebekah Lee Jenkins, was the Margaret Laurence Home’s very first “writer in residence” just a year prior. While in residence, Jenkins wrote the first draft of the newly released book. Jenkins is known for writing strong female characters, and writes primarily for her nieces. Rrain Prior, a board member for the Margaret Laurence Home, extended a warm welcome, stating “we [the board] are very delighted to have her back.”

Big honour “I was very shocked when I got the invitation to come back,” relayed Jenkins, who commented on her return. “It’s a really big honour to be here.”

Jenkins’ book, Hope in Oakland, is the first of a historical fiction trilogy that uses real pieces of

books are clean, meaning they can be enjoyed by people of many ages.

Delving into stories of her research for Hope in Oakland, and the other installments of the series, Jenkins shared her thoughts on her findings.

Divorce laws unfair “Until 1925, men could divorce women based on adultery alone. He retained rights to children and money,” said Jenkins. “So at the end of the divorce she would be left with no children and no money.

By contrast, a woman who sought divorce had to prove both adultery and abuse.

No matter who was at fault, men retained rights to children, money, and property. Women were left ashamed, destitute, and in many instances they never really saw their children again.”

The pointlessly employed

by Chad Carpenter

Help is on the way?

T he federal government has promised us that help is on the way. God spare us!

The federal government is already spending well beyond its current level of income and, as a result, is building up the debt at an alarming rate.

Their next help line is a proposed national Pharmacare program. Surveys are being conducted asking people if they want such a program. Considering that drugs are fairly expensive and that some drugs are very expensive, of course people will want “free” drugs. But free isn’t free. Somebody, somewhere will pay for the drugs and if a national Pharmacare is put in place, it will be the taxpayers who pay for it, When medicare came in in 1938 at a voluntary municipal level in Saskatchewan, I believe it was a first for Canada. It was well over 20 years later before Canada’s much touted father of medicare, Premier Tommy Douglas, brought in medicare in Saskatchewan. A small insurance premium was charged and that was a good thing. In fact, Manitoba charged a small fee until the early 1970s.

Cancelling the fee was bad thing.

Medicare should have retained the fees. It should also have retained the reporting system, whereby medicare services were listed and that list sent to each citizen. Considering those lists were made up in the day of manual records, how much easier would it be to keep track today?

When we go a chiropractor, we pay a partial fee. Why not when we go to a doctor? It would make sense.

None of us want to go to the U.S. system, where a patient must pay for health premiums or actual costs. The U.S. system neepawa

Banner & Press

STAFF

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell provides quick care and it seems it provides good care, but the cost for an uninsured patient can be so costly that low income people sometimes have to decide between buying food or health care. That said, a health care premium and a medical user fee would make sense. And so it would with drugs.

A national Pharmacare program is really scary. Whenever the government gets involved, the costs skyrocket. This whole process is going to need some debate, but I somehow doubt the ability of parties or politicians to get it right.

Let’s look at another example of how screwed up a government-run program can get. We had an example last week. There was serious highway accident. The alarm was sent in and fire, police and ambulance crews were all dispatched.

STARS was called and arrived very quickly, but not quite before the patients were on their way to the hospital by ground ambulance.

All good so far. STARS is advised to meet the crew at the hospital.

Not good. The hospital in question had a temporarily licensed landing pad, but rules have changed and it can’t be used any more. STARS is re-directed to the airport. Then a third ambulance had to come from somewhere to transport the STARS crew to the hospital and wait for patients.

I am sure that all the rules are

well-intentioned and seem to be necessary, but the point is that when you have several layers of rule makers involved, you get confusion and sometimes worse.

Here’s another airport related rule. When a municipality or partnering municipalities respond to provincial rules that say they “must” build a new garbage dump, they go looking for a site.

Transport department rules forbid a dump being within several miles of an airport. The theory is that dumps have seagulls flocking there and the gulls could be a hazard to the airport.

Here’s another example that is really stupid. Sometimes, a person becomes homeless and at the same time, needs social assistance. Obviously, provincial housing would be an answer. Not so fast. Before they can get housing, they have to get social assistance. Before they can get social assistance, they have to have housing. Further complicating that, housing and social assistance are in different departments or at least they used to be. Further complicating that, the offices may be in different cities.

When we ask the government to “do it all” for us, we need to be wary of what we ask for. Any time decisions are being made for us by people who have no economic reason to save time, effort or costs, we are likely in trouble.

aybe it was because Mike Rowe’s words about the war on work were still fresh in my mind, or maybe it was the title, but I clicked with interest on a story from the Economist. “Bullshit jobs and the yoke of managerial feudalism”— this had to be good.

The piece was a question and answer with David Graeber, an anthropologist at the London School of Economics, who in 2013, wrote a viral essay about “bullshit jobs”. This essay was recently expanded into a b o o k . A s MY we look at the PERSPECTIVE problems facing the developed world, could it be that the type Kate of work we do is Jackman-Atkinson playing a role?

According to Graeber, a “bullshit job” is one that even the person doing it secretly believes need not, or should not, exist. If these jobs, or their industry, were to vanish overnight, it would make no difference in people’s lives and in some cases, the world might even be a better place. The problem isn’t isolated, Graeber points to surveys which have found that 37 to 40 per cent of workers say their jobs make no difference.

In an era where corporate cultures are driven by efficiency and lean operations, how can so many people feel that their jobs are so useless? Graeber explains that the “lean and mean” ideal most frequently only applies to the workers actually making or doing things. In many cases, he says that the same executives who pride themselves on downsizing on the shop floor use the money saved, at least in part, to fill their offices with “feudal retinues of basically useless flunkies”.

It’s a problem we see across industries; for most managers, managing more people means more prestige and often, more money. For example, in health and education, Graeber explains, “managers now feel they need to each have their little squadron of assistants, who often have nothing to do, so they end up making up new, exotic forms of paperwork for the teachers, doctors, nurses… who thus have ever less time to actually teach or treat or care for anyone.” Sound familiar?

The interesting thing is how people respond to feeling that their job is pointless. Graeber noted that most don’t relish the fact that they are essentially getting something for nothing. Instead, the pointlessly employed report high rates of depression and anxiety.

He noted that these would “magically disappear the moment they were given what they considered real work”. It’s not so much that people want to work, it’s that they want to feel they are having a positive impact on the world around them.

It’s an interesting truth that Graeber points out, there is an almost perfect inverse relation between how much someone’s work directly benefits others and remuneration. While I would argue that there are large pockets of rewarding, helpful, well paying jobs, in broad strokes, this holds true. Health care aides are more useful than marketing managers, but I know which title tends to be better paid.

Why don’t we see this as a major social problem, Graeber wonders? I can’t help but agree. If half the workforce is making good money doing jobs that really don’t need doing, imagine the other things they could be doing with their time? In many ways, it’s a different side of the war against work Rowe talks about.

If many of the “bullshit” jobs disappeared, few would notice.

Certainly far fewer than would notice if we lost all of the cleaners, auto workers, teachers and nurses. Yet most people chase a “bullshit” job, why? Because we created an environment in which recognition and prestige are, in most cases, completely unrelated to the job’s necessity in the smooth functioning of our society. It’s a big problem that’s easier to ignore than solve.

Things you can’t learn from a book—Tolerance

he “hallowed halls of learning,” also known as public schools, will officially open for business next week.

Teachers and students will begin another year of making new friends, forming new relationships and learning new things about life and how to live it.

Over the next ten months, students w ill acquire a great deal of knowledge. Some will come from books—but increasing amounts of course material are being on-line through articles, fact sheets and videos, many of which can be accessed by a laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Computer workstations are as common in today’s classrooms as overhead projectors were in my school days.

But these advances present new challenges to teachers and school administrators. Their biggest challenge is helping st udents sift t hrough the massive amounts of available data to f ind material that is factual, truthful and free from bias

T

freedom to become all that God intended for him or her to be.

Being tolerant doesn’t require us to condone opinions or practices with which we cannot agree.

We are free to voice our displeasure with things other people say and do just as they are free to do the same with us. We can agree to disagree on issues of theology, philosophy, politics and lifestyle—we can passionately debate these issues and, if a spirit of tolerance is present in the debate, end the discussion knowing more and understanding it better than we did at the outset.

Being tolerant also means that we choose to avoid meddling in the personal lives of others. We are free to set standards of conduct to which we will adhere and are free to define how much (or how little) contact

we will have with those who may not share our views.

We choose to respect their right to live as they please and ask that they will show us the same courtesy.

None of us is an island unto ourselves. We do not live in isolation from others.

We are part of a community; so we must learn to see the value in others, welcome them into our lives just as they are and work together on projects that will help improve our towns and rural areas..

Merely reading a book on the subject or taking a course won’t make us loving and caring people. Knowing what to do isn’t enough.

Tolerant, accepting, loving and caring communities are built by tolerant, accepting, loving and caring people who follow the words of our Lord: “Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbour as yourself.”

The campus of a public school is a good place to begin learning these qualities of character; and I pray that they will be learned well in the coming school year.

until my next scheduled stop, I headed for Dafoe. I always stop at Dafoe heading up 16.

It gives me the certainty of enough fuel to get through Saskatoon, and a bit of a stretch before the convoluted Circle Drive! It was the perfect opportunity to fill and empty. Fourth stop.

The plans had been made to meet my daughter at the Husky stop at the north end of Saskatoon. I had kept her apprised of my progress.

Then I missed my turn and ended up at a different truck stop. Utilizing the modern technology I texted her and confessed. She found me in ten minutes and we had a

lovely lunch together. Love and laughter. She directed me to my correct route, double checked that I knew my route numbers even without a map, kissed me farewell, and we turned, me north while she turned south.

Stop number five.

I knew that I was leaving 16 at Vermillion so planned to stop, feed, fuel and empty there. Great plan. Actually went in to eat. Before going further north. That was stop number six. Found my way to Lac La Biche, had a moment of indecision, pulled into a hotel complex, got directions and proceeded. I admit that it was a little later than I wanted to arrive, no fears though. Stop seven.

Meeting the family just after nine, they askedfirst and foremost- did you drive straight through? I could answer honestly, no, I stopped seven times before getting here!

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein or prejudice—not an easy task for anyone.

But some essential life skills cannot be taught in a classroom or acquired by reading an article or watching a video. These skills must be developed over time; and the best way to develop them, in my view, is through interacting with other students in the halls and rooms of a public school.

One of these skills is tolerance—learning to accept and accommodate people from many other countries, cultures and relig ions—people w ith whose beliefs, habits and lifestyle choices we may not always agree. As we meet and interact with people from all walks of life, we learn to look past the things that divide us, see each person as a unique creation of a loving and caring God and allow him or her the

A nice day’s drive. Wake at 5:50 and be travelling by 6:00. Perhaps it was the excitement of meeting the Friesen clan for a week, but insomnia haunted the night. Waking instead at 6:00, I was in the car and down the street by 6:32. All I wanted was a coffee, so a drive-thru here at home sufficed. First stop. Five miles west of town I checked for my folder with the map and resort details. It was to be on the front seat. Right beside me. It was not. Then I recalled placing it on the truck lid as I loaded the vehicle. Certain it would no longer be there, I stopped anyway. It wasn’t. Second stop. By the time I got to Yorkton the coffee was tired of travelling in me and wanted to be released.

When I look in the Post-Office where the window is plastered with announcements of people, young and old, who passed away, I know that the “system” is failing us. My heart cries out for the young and in the prime of their life. Society has a terrible time keeping up with the problems of this world.

It is with difficulty that I sometimes watch the news on tv and see the corruption that exist all over the world. There is no peace among mankind.

However let us look at the Heavenly system. It is a perfect system, directed by a loving God, who will guide and direct us and give us peace in circumstances beyond our control.

We can “rejoice in the Lord” (Psalm 104:34). He will give us the strength, peace and joy that the world cannot give us. “His love endures forever” (Psalm 118:1).

May the strength of the Lord be ours this week.

Letters

Opinions are not rifts, they are opinions In the liberal world, those who disagree are demeaned, disparaged and dismissed. You are aboard the train or not.

As a lifelong conservative, I would be appalled if we stifled opinion. We value our freedoms above all else. The freedoms of association, belief, conscience, expression, opinion, peaceful assembly, religion and thought are the underpinnings of democracy and the conservative party. They don’t come easily or gracefully. We have to accept we will hear beliefs that clash with our own and opinions we dislike. The price for freedoms is to accept that we will face dissenting opinions and must allow them to be fully heard before passing judgement.

When we have a convention and 3,000 representatives from every corner of the nation, we will have different views expressed in the form of resolutions to consider. We spend months gathering and compiling those resolutions. Selecting those with the broadest support in terms of numbers and area defines those that will be considered at convention. Resolutions going to workshops at the convention are not the work of a few disgruntled people. They need support from multiple electoral districts.

Valley residents want to know...

Who killed A.J.?

Three weeks had passed and still no one had seen or heard a peep from A.J. Fryerson.

Something was amiss and the good folks of the Valley were starting to wonder what had happened to the town complainer.

Jessie, waitress at the Hoffbrau, taped a black and white photo of A.J. from a 1995 edition of the Hometown News on the side of a milk carton, resembling the photos of missing children found on cartons from the local dairy. She placed it next to the register, which initiated comments from most customers as she rang up their orders.

“I knew this was bound to happen someday,” quipped Marvin Walsh.

“A.J. just never knows when to keep quiet.”

It was funny hearing Walsh, possibly the town’s third biggest loudmouth, behind Raymond Cooper and A.J. Fryerson, call someone else out for talking too much.

“I’ll bet it was Chief Dibble,” Marvin said to anyone within earshot.

“He can be one mean fellow.”

Maxine Miller, writer of “Rumor Has It” each week in the Hometown News, was all ears. She scribbled copious notes of everything she heard.

When Marvin realized Maxine was in the room, he quickly changed his temperament. “Of course, I was just joking about the Chief. He’s a fine law officer and he will get to the bottom of this.”

For once, Walsh wished he had kept his big mouth shut.

“I think it was Buford Levitt,”

mumbled Earl Goodman, Valley postman and respected citizen. As the only “federal official” in the Valley, Earl’s opinion carried a lot of weight.

“You saw what A.J. wrote about him three weeks ago.”

The general consensus in the room was, as offended as he surely had to have been, Buford didn’t have a violent bone in his body. It had to be someone else.

At that moment, Iris Long entered the diner for her morning coffee.

Iris wasn’t wrong very often, but if she thought she was going to have a quiet moment to begin her morning, she had miscalculated the sudden interest in A.J. “You’re the reporter,” shouted Elbert Lee Jones. “What do you think has happened to A.J.?”

Sipping her coffee, then placing the cup on the table in front of her, Iris responded. “I don’t know. None of us knows. Perhaps he took a vacation.”

“I saw his silver Taurus in front of his house when I delivered his mail yesterday,” shouted Goodman. “How could he take a vacation without his car?”

Jessie spoke up, which was unusual for her. “Has he been getting his mail?”

“Hope in Oakland” first of historical fiction trilogy Continued from page 3 Jenkins recalled a scene in which Priscilla goes to criminal court to have her husband prosecuted for the deliberate miscarriage of her son. According to the law at the time, Priscilla had no rights in court but her unborn child did. She stopped looking through the archives after she found Priscilla’s case, lamenting that she had seen nothing worse. In her search, Jenkins also found letters, pictures and pleas from women who were being divorced.

“Knowing the law is one thing,” stated Jenkins. “But it’s another to see the women

who were so harshly affected by it.”

After speeches were finished and questions thoroughly answered, guests visited with the author and enjoyed refreshments of cake and iced tea. Taking Til, Jenkin’s third installment of the series is expected for release in the coming spring.

“As a government official, I am under oath to keep matters related to an individual’s mail secret,” Earl spoke proudly.

“However, I can say that I’ve been getting a good workout trying to stuff mail into full boxes lately.”

Earl sat up on his stool, quite proud of himself for so deftly keeping his promise.

“Has anyone been in his house?” asked Jessie. “Do we know for sure he’s not in there?”

Iris spoke up. “Chief Dibble has called a press conference for 10:00 this morning. I will be there and will report all the pertinent information in tomorrow’s paper.”

The veteran newspaper editor knew something wasn’t right. While she publicly stated A.J. could be on a trip or have another reason for his absence, she had known A.J. Fryerson for too long to think he would slip off silently.

As she rubbed her cup, she wondered if she should tell her fellow diners about the recent letter from A.J. she didn’t print. She quickly realized this was not the right time.

That seemed to settle the room for the moment as Long seemed to again focus on her coffee. Coffee, however, was the last thing on her mind at the moment.

Beets

Since ancient times, the tops of beets were eaten as food. The beet root was used for medicinal properties such as treating constipation, curing fevers, skin disorders and wounds. Currently, the beet has gained fame for its incredible nutrient value as it contains many essential minerals like potassium and manganese. What’s more, beets are delicious and easy to add to your diet. There only drawback is stained fingers during preparation! Beets can be eaten raw and shredded into salads or sandwiches, cooked, pickled, and cold as a salad after cooking or soup.

I tried this beet relish recipe this week. As I prepared it I was sceptical of the combination, however it was so yummy and so easy to make.

Ruby relish 4 -6 large beets 1 tsp. cinnamon 4 cups peeled, diced 1/2 tsp. allspice apples 1/2 tsp. cloves 1 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup water 1 tbsp. pickling salt 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1 cup apple cider vinegar Wash beets, leave skin on and cook for 15-20 minutes or until beets are just barely tender. Place cooked beets in cold water and slip the skins off. Dice beets into little pieces and measure 4 cups cooked beets. In a large pot mix the sugar, salt, vinegar, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the beets and apples. Cook for 15 minutes then add the water with cornstarch in it.

Cook 5 minutes longer. Ladle into hot sterilized pint jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. You can leave as is or process in a canner for 15 minutes.

Curried cabbage, beet and apple slaw 4 cups shredded cabbage 2 cups julienned beets 3 apples, grated 1 stalk celery, diced 2/3 cup of mayo 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. curry powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper or less to taste Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Place cabbage, beets, apples and celery in a large bowl.

In a small bowl combine the mayo, mustard, curry and salt and pepper. Toss into the veggies. Chill and when ready to serve garnish with parsley.

Canada Post talks Gladstone Royal Purple disbands reach “critical stage” Submitted

Strike vote could happen at any time

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

A majority of Canada Post employees could soon be walking off the job.

About 50,000 Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW ) members will soon vote on whether or not to move forward with a strike. If the two sides fail to reach a new collective agreement by Sept. 26, the CUPW said it will have to be ready for “some type of job action”. The CUPW represents delivery agents and plant employees.

In a recent post on the union’s website, national president Mike Palecek told members the bargaining process has entered a “critical stage”. One point of contention appears to centre around pay equity, as the union has suggested that 8,000 rural postal workers earn 30 per cent less than the 42,000 employees assigned to urban areas.

The previous collective agreement lapsed in Dec. 2017 and talks have been ongoing between Canada Post

and the union with the help of a conciliator. The CUPW requested conciliation assistance on June 29 and on July 6 the conciliators were appointed. The conciliation process is a normal phase of negotiations detailed in the Canada Labour Code.

Conciliators have 60 days to build consensus and broker a deal. Should the process conclude without new collective agreements, there will be a mandatory 21-day cooling off period before there can be any legal work disruption. A 72-hour notice must also be filed before there can be a legal interruption in work.

It’s expected that the CUPW will conduct strike votes in September, which does not change the conciliation timelines. It is part of the process spelled out in the Canada Labour Code and does not mean a work disruption will occur. The earliest a legal work disruption can occur is at the end of the day Tuesday, Sept. 25.

The Gladstone Royal Purple held their last meeting on June 28, 2018. This lodge has been operating for 69 years and it was with mixed feelings that at our March meeting the decision was made unanimously to disband.

Over the years our mission was to help children and our community. Many, many dedicated women did just that raising funds by catering, holding teas, auction sale lunches and funeral lunches. For many years we did a tag day for the National Fund for Children. Most members feel that doing community work was fulfilling but the

Update on the Town Council Property Sale (McGill Street and Adelaide Crescent)

Ongoing Destruction of Our Community Green Space 1) Why did the Neepawa Town Council choose to ignore their transparent land policy that was passed by resolution on March 21, 2017 and added to their policy manual? a. No fair market value was established. b. No Real Estate Agency or Broker in Neepawa were invited to sell the property. c. No notice was given to the adjoining property owners to the green space.

2) Why did the Neepawa Town Council choose a non-transparent selling option that resulted in the council accepting a single standalone offer to purchase the green space? a. Resolution from the Council of the Town of Neepawa on March 20, 2018 approved the sale of the property (the community green space consisting of multiple lots) in the amount of $20,000.00, subject to the terms of a development agreement. b. It is our understanding that the development agreement was not completed prior to the sale of the property and the development agreement is being treated as a work in progress.

3) Why did the Neepawa Town Council make a deliberate decision to deny the community the opportunity to purchase the green space? a. The one and only offer of $20,000.00 for our green space that the Town Council accepted from an out of town contractor would have been immediately matched or overbid by our community if the town had been transparent in their intent to sell our green space? b. Our community, if it had the opportunity to purchase this property, this green space would be put into trust for “in perpetuity” for the continued benefit of the citizens of Neepawa.

4) Why did the Neepawa Town Council choose not to respond to the legal letter they received on August 14, 2018? a. This letter was seeking a halt to the destruction of our green space until an emergency meeting could be arranged between the Green Space Community and the Town Council. b. The destruction continued and the only discussion that has taken place was a brief backyard gathering on July 31, 2018 arranged by the out of town contractor and initiated by a concerned citizen that felt blindsided. c. The position given by Town Officials at this brief backyard gathering was that the Town of Neepawa had sold the land so therefore the concerns of the community citizens was no longer their problem.

Major renovations completed at Bay Hill Inns & Suites

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

With so many high profile construction projects on the go across Neepawa at the moment, the improvements at the Bay Hill Inns & Suites could have easier slipped under the radar. But while the people in Neepawa likely haven’t noticed yet what’s been done, visitors to our town sure have and are quite impressed by them.

Recently, a major interior renovation for the 34-room hotel neared completion, as the rooms received a full upgrade. Bay Hill owner/ operator Kirit Modi said that the improvements included new beds, furniture, fixtures and appliances. As well, he noted the walls and ceilings had been repainted in a more vibrant colour palette. To go along with the rooms, upgrades were also made to the hotel lobby,

breakfast dining area and hallways. Though an exact cost estimate was not available, Modi estimates that the cost for the improvements averages out to about $18,000 per room.

Modern but timeless Modi said that this work first began in January and has progressed even better than they had originally

anticipated.

“We are very pleased with just how the upgrades have gone. We wanted to give [Bay Hill] a modern, but timeless look and now that we’re seeing the finished product; I believe we have accomplished that,” noted Modi. “A business such as this can be very competitive, so it is very important to always be adapting to what the guests are expecting and

give them that and more.”

Early response to the changes has been positive, as the reviews on travel sites and Google reviews have nearly doubled over the past month. Modi said that type of immediate and positive reaction to the upgrades is very reassuring.

But what about the pool?

A huge question for many

people regarding the renovations has been connected to the future of Bay Hill’s pool, which has been out of commission since 2012.

Modi said they are examining the future of the space right now. While he doesn’t dismiss the idea of bringing back the pool, it would be a difficult process.

“There are new regulations and codes that must be followed for something like

this. The cost could be quite high, depending on what is required. As well, if there is a new hotel built in Neepawa within the next few years, as is being discussed, their plans, I believe, currently involve a pool and slide.

So, that would be difficult to compete with,” acknowledged Modi. “It could be in our best interest to go another route, be it either a fitness and conference centre or perhaps both. It would be something that could be made available to the public. There are a few options being explored, including the pool.”

No matter what the final decision on that space is, Modi remains confident that this modern renovation demonstrates the hotel’s ongoing commitment not only to guests but to the community of Neepawa as well.

What’s the next chapter in Neepawa’s story?

What is Neepawa Tourism doing now?

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

Ever y tow n need s tourism. Just over three mont hs ago, on May 22, Neepawa’s branding received a bit of a face lift thanks to members of the Neepawa Tourism Committee and the aid of Travel Manitoba and McKim Communications Group of Winnipeg. The rebranding initiative, with the slogan “where stories take a beautiful turn”, aims to bring more travellers to the community and to improve Neepawa’s tourism profile on a provincial and national level. But what is Neepawa Tourism doing now?

Tow n o f N e e p aw a Economic Development off icer Marilyn Crewe spoke to the Banner & Press regarding updates. Crewe stated that the Neepawa Tourism board is currently working towards building an organized tour ism structure that will allow them to get a bank account, and other necessities, for the group to continue putting out projects that will benefit the community of Neepawa.

The Neepawa Tourism Task Force members as they appeared at the branding reveal on May 25 at ArtsForward. The team posed with the logo and tagline for the new tourism campaign, and a barbecue was held.

“ We’re work i ng on that [organized tourism structure], and then dividing up the work that needs to be done for tourism in the longterm around social media, print advertising, local events, and merchandise,” said Crewe. “They’re being divided up amongst the committee and planning

to move forward on several projects over the next few years.”

Crewe mentioned plans for a visitor’s guide, which would show what Neepawa has to offer, and improved sig nage. The sig nage, k now n a s d i rect iona l signage, would help visitors coming to Neepawa by

better showing them how to get to various places while they visit. In short, to “help people get from one place to the next”. Planning for the signs is said to be expected

for 2019.

“There is some signage for the golf course and bird sanctuary, but I think it would be good if we had consistent signage,” Crewe

relayed. “So if they [visitors] see a certain color or style they will know that that’s the same for all the different attractions in town.”

Neepawa Tourism is still in the early stages with lots to do, but the board, comprised entirely of volunteers, has been working very diligently and enthusiastically about making it work. Crewe referred to the board as “a very dedicated group of volunteers who are working really hard to make this happen for our community”.

The group aims to draw in more tourism through the projects implemented and being implemented in the future, which will bring in more revenue from outside the community, provide visitors with a positive rural experience, and potentially extend the amount of time spent visiting the town.

Crewe is hoping to show people that Neepawa has something to offer, even if they are only stopping for a few minutes.

Major construction ongoing at Neepawa Progress also being made at new firehall, school and daycare

Continued from page one Key to sparking Neepawa’s interest in proceeding with the pilot project to test the technology was the fact that with extremely limited possibility for enlarging the lagoon cells to accommodate growth, the technology proposed to significantly reduce the footprint size of the treatment facility, as well as reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and power requirements.

The pilot project, under Veolia Water Technologies Canada Inc., began in Dec. 2016 and represented a biological fixed-film process targeting post lagoon nitrification. A pilot trailer was positioned at the lagoon site for a period of six months, the results of which proved successful in simulating the proposed treatment process under harsh winter conditions.

Moving forward, the pilot project now forms the basis of a full-scale design for Neepawa, the construction of which will represent the first installation of this kind of technology in western Manitoba and western Canada for post lagoon nitrification. Most recently, working in conjunction with the Manitoba Water Services Board, Associated Engineering and Veolia Water Technologies Canada Inc., the Town of Neepawa was privileged to be issued the required environment license from the Province to proceed with the technology as the basis to the lagoon design.

Future partnerships are possible due to the nature of this kind of cold water treatment for ammonia being untested in Canada at a full-scale operation. By demonstrating this technology at full scale, it will have a notable positive impact on communities throughout Manitoba and Canada who are looking for a resilient cost-effective and efficient lagoon-based treatment solution for ammonia.

To coincide with this technology, the existing lagoon cells will be reformatted with the expectation that a decommissioned lagoon cell will be re-purposed as a licensed compost facility and/or retention pond.

In recognition of the necessity to operate a fully functional lagoon system, the entire project will occur in several stages with the first stage specific to earthwork and site preparation. A building to house the technology will follow and then significant changes to the lagoon cells to incorporate the required surface area to meet the technological requirements. Once the lagoon system is fully functional, the end result will serve to treat effluent continuously, and allow the Town to direct their attention to re-purposing portions of the land area no longer required into other efficient uses such as compost or water retention.”

Synchynshyn said “We had hoped to do the actual building structure in this first phase but the price estimates came in higher than expected. A second phase will allow for a building to be built.” The building will house the equipment which will allow continuous release of treated effluent into the Whitemud River.

Currently, the effluent is released in the spring and fall

Obituary Joan Yerex It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joan Yerex (Nicholson), with family by her side, on Aug 17, 2018, at the age of 81.

Joan was born on May 19, 1937, and was raised on the family farm just outside of Neepawa, Manitoba, attending Stoney Creek School, and Neepawa High School.

On May 26, 1956, she married Daune Yerex of Springhill, Manitoba. Together, they established a construction business, Daune worked the machines, and Joan took care of the accounting. The family moved to various locations to follow the work, residing in Winnipeg for 15 years, and returning to Neepawa in 1972. Once the family got a little older, Joan enjoyed working with Sears.

For Joan, nothing was more important than family and good friends who were always welcome to drop in. She was quick to start up the coffee pot, share her homemade treats, and she was able to prepare the best meals from whatever was at hand, for those fortunate enough to drop in close to meal time.

Joan had a creative spirit that often found her sewing or knitting something special for family, friends, or for those less fortunate. She enjoyed painting, wallpapering, reupholstering furniture, and many other crafts to enhance the family home. Her yard, flower beds and garden were another testament to her dedication to the home environment.

Joan’s selfless nature found her with many volunteer organizations, spending countless hours helping others.

Joan found the perfect life partner in Daune. They both loved sports and travel, often combining the two, travelling across the country and to the states to watch baseball or hockey games. There were none more special than teams that included their children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews.

Joan was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Daune, parents Jack and Dorothy Nicholson (Stewart), in-laws Noble and Irene Yerex (Adamson), sisters- and brothers-in-law Sybil and Galvin Burton, Norma and Jim Fleger, Erma and Cliff Massing, Muriel and Al Bell, Max Yerex, Glen Yerex, Ardyth Wood, and Mavis Williamson; and nephews Chris Yerex, Blaine Burton, and Murray Abel.

Joan will be lovingly remembered by her family, Kim Yerex, Bryan Yerex (Elsie), Kathy Campbell (Jim);grandchildren Jason Kennedy and great-granddaughter Abby, Carmen and Mark Yerex, Steven and Shayne Campbell; brothers Clifford Nicholson (Eleanor), Melvin (Janet), Bill (Lynda), Fred (Nicole), and sisters Linda Crooks, Lois Hulme (Robin); sisters-in-law Carol (Ed) Carson, Lorna and Vera Yerex; brothers-in-law John Williamson and John Wood; as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.

The funeral was held at the Neepawa United Church on Friday, August 24, 2018. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Daune and Joan Yerex Family Fund, through the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation.

Obituary Olga Rossnagel Olga (Santo) Rossnagel was born in Sárospatak, Hungary on October 4, 1924 to parents Alex and Kathleen (Gal) Santo. She immigrated to Canada with her parents in 1927 and grew up on the farm they established 5 miles northwest of Plumas, Manitoba.

She married Alfred Rossnagel of Plumas on July 15th, 1948. They began farming north of Plumas on SW21-17-12 where they built a home in 1961.

Mom remained on the farm until recently when she moved to Centennial Apartments in Gladstone and then to McCreary Personal Care Home, where she enjoyed her final years with numerous new friends and acquaintances until her final few days at the Palliative Care Unit at Neepawa Hospital.

Mom’s greatest joy was when her grandchildren and great grandchildren came to visit, play games, show her pictures and videos, help her fold laundry or even blow bubbles. She loved talking and spending time with family and friends and spent many years in the Plumas Legion Auxiliary. Baking was by far her favorite lifelong activity and she would readily prepare baked goods for the local fair, picnics, trips to the field or just about anyone that would accept a bag of cookies, donuts, walnut rolls or, of course, her famous cinnamon rolls.

Olga was predeceased by parents Alex and Kathleen, husband Alfred, son Mickey, daughter baby Rossnagel, sister Kathleen and brother-in-law Lloyd Cole, and brother Julius.

Olga leaves to mourn her son Lorne and Deborah and their children Alyssa and Nils Schear (Briar) of Lakewood, CO, Andrea and Trevor Bjarnarson (Aiyana and Paisley) of Winnipeg, Aaron Rossnagel and Natasha Zariwney (Wyatt and Carter) of Plumas, daughter Jeanine and Randy Court of Plumas and their children Gary Court and Hiromi Ishihara of Calgary, and Tracy Court of Plumas, and son Neil and Judy Rossnagel and their children Declan and Kiera of Tenby.

Special thanks to the staff of McCreary Personal Care Home, the staff and Doctor Poettcker at Neepawa Hospital and the folks at Palliative Care in Neepawa.

Memorial donations in memory of Olga may be made to Cancer Care Manitoba or the charity of one’s choice. In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family funeral will be held.

Obituary BUCHANAN On Monday, August 13, 2018 Lawrence Campbell "Lorne" Buchanan, age 91 years, passed away at the Wawanesa Personal Care Home. Lorne, the second son of Bert and Maude Buchanan, was born August 3, 1927 in the R.M. of Lansdowne, east of Bernie, on his parents farm. In 1931, the family moved to the Scott place where they lived for three years prior to moving to Riding Mountain. He attended the Tobermore School for one year, then went to Riding Mountain School where he completed his grade 9 education. In 1943, Lorne started work at the Neepawa Airport and the following year went to Portage Airport. In 1946, he started working with Walter Matthews Plumbing and Heating in Neepawa, as a Plumber and Tinsmith, until 1951 when he went to Winnipeg to receive formal training. Lorne ran his own company for a few months and then started with Canada Post in 1951. He married Doris Sneesby March 7, 1953 in the Sneesby family home in Woodside. The family was complete with the arrival of five children: Brent in 1959, Brian in 1960; Ron and Gordon in 1961, and Sharon in 1964. In 1980, they moved to Altona, where he retired in 1985. Together Lorne and Doris moved to Manhattan Beach in 1988 and lived in the camp house for a couple of years before renovating the Buchanan/Tyler cottage to become their retirement home. In later years he lived at the Wawanesa Valley Lodge, then Wawanesa Personal Care Home. When not working, Lorne enjoyed travelling to both the east and west coast and numerous times to Arizona to spend time with Brian and his family. Always willing to help people around the camp with projects, Lorne most of all loved to have coffee and share his wisdom. His witty humor was second to none. He will be deeply missed. Lorne will be lovingly remembered by his children, Ron (Holly), Gordon, Brent (Brenda), Brian (Debbi), Sharon, thirteen grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren and sister-inlaw Grace Buchanan. He was predeceased by his wife Doris, his parents and brother Andy. The Celebration of Lorne's Life took place at Memories Chapel on Saturday, August 18, 2018. Donations in memory of Lorne may be made to the Manhattan Beach Retreat Centre, P.O. Box 62, Ninette, MB R0K 1R0. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.memorieschapel.com.

SERVING THE NEEPAWA AREA

Letter to the editor

Continued from page five We take time to debate resolution that are contrary to existing policy and that alter existing policy or introduce new policy. Those that move forward do so based on delegate votes. Only the ten with the strongest support from each of several workshops move forward to debate and vote by the main body of the convention.

To describe that process as showing ‘rifts’ within the party is erroneous. We are open to considering and debating the strongly held views of our members and their representatives. It is important that they have the opportunity to convince us that their resolutions have merit and should be adopted.

Some resolutions are defeated at workshops, others are defeated in the main session. Observers fail to notice is that the proponents of failed resolutions are not there solely to deal with the resolution(s) they sponsor; they consider and vote on all of the resolutions in the workshop they attend, and all of the resolutions sent to the main body.

They are considering and setting the overall direction of the party, not just one or two aspects thereof.

The defeat of a particular resolution does not mean the end of debate. Very often, during the course of debate, lessons are learned, and a modified version of the resolution may appear at a succeeding convention and will be debated again. Delegates had the opportunity to participate in amendments and changes to our constitution and policies and are satisfied with the overall results they achieve.

Contrast that with political correctness which has morphed from its original meaning: The avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against into a form of censorship where any action or expression that might offend someone is considered forbidden.

Our human rights codes cover the subject matter of the original definition so political correctness should fall into disuse. However, it is now used to stifle opinion and debate on any topic that elitists and liberals/progressives consider to be settled (in their minds).

It is a direct attack on our freedoms.

I am proud to stand with guardians of our freedoms. Those freedoms and the inherent opportunities they provide is what make Canada the grand nation it is.

advice for a healthier lifestyle

5 benefits of meditation

By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor

In the past meditation was considered a fringe activity that was performed by yogi’s or people like monks in Tibet, but now it has been studied, researched and incorporated in almost every high functioning person’s daily routine. It’s talked about in conversations of wellness, perfor mance, athletics, and even in improving sleep. There are many mental, physical and emotional responses to when you meditate. Here are the top five: 1. It reduces stress and anxiety When you meditate you are shifting your focus to a single state that helps the brain slow down and stop racing, commonly found in stress and anxiety.

Studies show that there is a direct correlation to reduced stress and anxiety when meditating for just 15 minutes per day. Guided meditation can help you prioritize your thoughts and direct your thoughts to gratefulness and calm.

Often in stress and anxiety we do not have the capability to sort out what is important in the stressful situation and then we ruminate about it.

When having a set time to meditate, it allows us to

shelf our stress emotions as you will know that you have the opportunity to sort them out in a quite state of meditation.

2. It reduces inflammation in the body Long term meditation studies from Harvard University shows that you can lower cortisol levels, released when stressed, and can decrease the inflammatory state of the body by meditating.

This inflammatory state is detrimental to our bodies as it increases blood pressure, increases risks of cancer, increases risk of irritable bowl and much more. We know that stress and anxiety is a killer, so get meditating!

Stress also releases inflammatory cytokines that are proven to increase depression. Two different studies showed that you can have a direct lowering effect of cytokines over time by meditating.

3. It changes your brain Yes, mediation actually changes the structure of your brain! fMRI and EEG studies show that different areas of the brain are activated when mediating and the areas that produce random thought, (this area is used when worrying) are slowed down.

Sarah Lazar, a Harvard researcher found that eight weeks of MindfulnessBased Stress Reduction (MBSR) was found to increase cortical thickness in the hippocampus, which gover ns lear ning and memory, and in certain areas of the brain that play roles in emotion regulation and self-referential processing. There were also decreases in brain cell volume in the amygdala, which is responsible for fear, anxiety, and stress – and these changes matched the participants’ self-reports of their stress levels, indicating that meditation not only changes the brain, but it changes our subjective perception and feelings as well.

A recent study form UCLA showed that there is less overall loss of grey matter in individuals that had been meditating for an average of 20 years compared to those who don’t. Not surprising, people who make meditating a part of their health routine have less age related dementia.

4. It helps you sleep better This is no surprise as we know meditation lowers stress and anxiety, which are the most common things that keep us up at night. ​A technique called

Boo in the Park

mindfulness meditation has proven to help people get better length of sleep and improved quality of sleep. Mindfulness m e d i t a t i o n i nvo l ve s focusing on your breathing and then bringing your mind’s attention to the present without drifting into concerns about the past or future. It helps you break the train of your everyday thoughts to evoke the relaxation response, using whatever technique feels right to you. Guided audio meditation when first falling asleep helps to relax your thoughts and bring you to dream land.

Real Estate

Did you know?

Metro Creative Connection Submitted

Of the 29 projects it studied for its 2017 “Cost vs. Value Report,” Remodeling magazine found that the average payback in resale value was 64.3 cents.

The lone project in the 2017 report to return a higher value than its cost was the installation of loose-fill insulation in an attic, which provided a return of 107.7 percent. Homeowners who replaced an existing entry door with a 20-gauge steel unit recouped 90.7 percent of their investment at resale, placing that project second on the list. What helps homeowners who finance such projects recoup

their associated costs is the relatively low sticker price of the projects, which both rank among the five least expensive projects examined in the 2017 report.

But a recovering real estate market has helped homeowners recoup more of their investments on some expensive projects as well. For example, the 2017 report saw the biggest year-over-year percentage increases in value on expensive projects like upscale bathroom remodels, upscale master suites, two-story additions, grand entrance installations, and family room additions. The increase in value on those projects ranged from 5.6 percent to 7.4 percent from a year earlier.
