New Hydro building focuses on efficiency, flexibility

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner Combining form and function, Neepawa’s newest corporate office is nearing one year in operation. Last September, staff began moving into Manitoba Hydro’s Neepawa Customer Service Centre, a newly constructed 25,000 sq. ft. building showcasing the cutting edge in building design.

This month, project manager Mark Pauls, an engineer who works in Manitoba Hydro’s Building Energy Management department, provided a tour of the new facility, which sits at Neepawa’s east entrance.

Pauls explained that following the completion of Manitoba Hydro’s head office in downtown Winnipeg, new customer service centres were planned for both Neepawa and Ashern. These new buildings would make use of many of the techniques and materials used in the construction of the company’s headquarters. Ashern was to be built first, at 15,000 sq. ft, it’s a smaller building and has about half the staff of Neepawa. However, the consolidation of rural service centres in Minnedosa, Gladstone and Erickson into Neepawa meant that more space was needed in Neepawa and the two facilities were essentially built at the same time.

The Neepawa service centre has a staff of about 40, which includes customer service, maintenance, engineers and business support functions. Because the Neepawa project used many of the same materials and features as the Ashern office, it was able to be built on a shortened timeline. The facility took about one year to design and two years to build.

Of the Neepawa building’s 25,000 sq. ft, about half is office space, 30 per cent is the garage and 20 per cent is

link space, which includes amenities such as locker rooms and washrooms, and separates the “clean” office and public space from the “dirty” garage space. The building is home base for between 20 and 30 field staff who have desk and locker space in the link area as well.

Pauls explained that one of the design features was to cut off the corners, which are often not well utilized. This was applied not only to the building, but also to the yard, where corners are hard for large vehicles and trailers to use. This allowed the Neepawa facility to fit into a compact footprint, measuring between five and six acres. A decade ago, the average size of such a facility was 10 acres.

Another design feature was to separate the customer space from the garage space, for both aesthetics and safety.

While customers pull up to the north side of the building, Hydro’s trucks and trailers all safely enter the compound on the south side.

Flexibility was at the heart of the design and it can be seen right from the building’s entrance. The use of greenspace creates a buffer between the building and the parking lot, but it also means there’s space available should they need to expand in future.

The concept of flexibility and low operating costs were central to the interior design as well. The floor in the office area is built 18” above the concrete slab, which means reconfiguring the open floor plan office Today, many field staff have mobile terminals and work out of their to create more or less work spaces can be trucks. In some cases, this allows them to be based out of their easily done.

Continued on page 6 home community, even if it doesn’t have a customer service centre.

The shell of the building is constructed with 4’x20’ metal panels. The panels are finished on both sides and contain 6” of insulation, which separates the interior from the exterior and ensures there’s no thermal bridging. Project manager Mark Pauls said they fit with the focus on low operating costs— they provide a good seal and are fast and easy to install.

Margaret Laurence Home opens for the season

By Brenda Ferguson Margaret Laurence Home The Margaret Laurence Home is now open for the season. It is open daily throughout the summer from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. To keep the house going we do charge a modest admission, though youth (12 and under) are free.

Group tours are available, but please phone to make arrangements.

Margaret “Peggy” Laurence is an international ly known author, who was born in Neepawa on July 18, 1926, the daughter of solicitor Robert Wemyss and Verna Jean Simpson.

Both of her parents died when she was at a young age and she was raised by her aunt (stepmother), Margaret Simpson and her maternal grandfather, John Simpson. She lived in the house now known as the Margaret Laurence Home from the age of nine until she left to attend college in Winnipeg.

She started writing stories while attending elementary school and realized at a young age that she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Her first professional writing job was with the local Neepawa newspaper in 1943 and she continued writing while attending

Winnipeg’s United College (now the University of Winnipeg) and after graduation was employed by The Winnipeg Citizen as a reporter.

In 1947, she married Jack Laurence, a civil engineer, and during their marriage, his profession took them to England, Somalia, Ghana and eventually back to Canada in 1957. In 1962, she and her husband separated and she moved back to England, where she resided for several years. In the early 1970s she returned to Canada, settling in Lakefield, Ont. She passed away on January 5, 1987. She is buried in the Neepawa Cemetery, a few meters away from the stone angel which inspired her novel of the same name.

During her time in Africa, she began to work seriously on her writing and in 1954, published her first book, A Tree for Poverty.

This was the first of five books making up her African Series. She is most well known for her book, The Stone Angel, which is part of her Manawaka series, so called as they each take place in the small prairie town of Manawaka, a community which is modelled after the town of Neepawa.

She also has four children’s books. Her memoir, Dance on the Earth, was published in 1987. Many of her books are available in the gift shop at the Margaret Laurence Home.

Like us on Facebook to keep up to date on special events. We host a Canada Reads evening each year and this summer, we are planning a couple of events.

On July 21, we are hosting an evening of music and refreshments following the Cemetery Walks. On July 22, we are having a Used Book Sale from 10 am until 3 pm. We are accepting donations of gently used books and they can be dropped off at the house during our open hours, from now until July 14.

Taxes, drugs and school buildings Governments do more than they should

T

he provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan are having some disagreements with the federal government. Neither province likes how the feds are steamrolling out a carbon tax. Saskatchewan seems totally opposed and Manitoba is somewhat opposed. Let it be said, I am totally opposed to a “carbon tax” for several reasons.

1. A carbon tax is nothing more than yet another gas tax and we certainly have enough of those already.

2. A carbon tax is being touted as a solution to climate change which is utter nonsense, as if man-made carbon emissions were even a factor in climate change, the amount that Canada emits is minor compared to other countries. The amount Manitoba emits is minor compared to other parts of Canada. A major volcanic eruption causes more emissions than all the countries in the world.

3. A carbon tax will put Manitoba at a disadvantage in the Canadian economy as so much of our power is carbon-free Hydro.

4. A carbon tax puts the Canadian economy at a disadvantage to the United States, as they are heading in the opposite direction to Canada’s tax policy.

5. A carbon tax, collected by the feds, is being touted as a way of getting money back to the provinces but, as always, bureaucracy will absorb a lot of it.

The basic problem is that governments do more than they should in more areas than they should touch. In contrast, they abandon their proper role, which is to help establish an economic environment where everyone can not only survive, but thrive.

Governments need taxes, but

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell they should be simple transparent taxes like PST, GST and a flat income tax rate for individuals and corporations. Every other tax simply creates bureaucracy and rules and regulations that eat up a huge percentage of the money needed to run the government.

Manitoba is also at loggerheads with the feds over legalized sale of marijuana. Looks like marijuana sale and usage will be legalized.

The feds have no idea how they are going to sell it, regulate it or tax it, but that doesn’t matter if our prime minister f lippantly promises to legalize marijuana “the day after the election.” I think his drama teacher training kicked in a bit too much in that speech.

Manitoba has until July 2018 to figure out how to sell the stuff and is digging in their heels on the issue. The province is justifiably concerned about a lot of details, not the least of which is how do you control the use of drugs among drivers? There doesn’t seem to be an easy answer on that point. Any trip down a highway will prove that we have enough bad drivers already, so marijuana isn’t going to make it any better for sure. There is one solution and that is to sell marijuana, alcohol and cigarettes in licensed facilities. Most stores don’t really want cigarette sales and say there is little money in

that trade. If all three, namely, marijuana, alcohol and cigarettes, were sold in the liquor stores or a few licensed places it might be the way to go.

On a brighter note, Manitoba is looking seriously at building new schools under a P3, private public partnership, proposal. Businesses will be asked to design, build, own and maintain school buildings.

It is an idea that is long overdue.

I was first introduced to P3s around 2000, at the federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) meeting in London, Ontario. At that time, P3s had been in place in England for years already. The Moray Street Bridge in Winnipeg was built under a P3. It has only been tried on a limited basis and needs a wider adoption in our country. With the Design, Build, Own and Maintain (DBOM) model, a company is responsible for all phases of a building’s life.

If a company is responsible for all four phases of a building’s life, there should be a strong assurance that all phases will be looked after effectively and at the lowest possible cost.

Lots of issues facing Manitoba right now and we should all be speaking with our MLAs and MPs about what we feel needs to be done. They need our support and prayers.

his month, many young men and women will be graduating from high school and many more will be planning their future careers. These are uneasy times, the last few decades have seen a huge shift in the types of work people do, the jobs that are growing and the jobs that are dwindling.

Twenty years ago, mostly men, but some women too, found a well worn path to the middle class through jobs in factories, plants and mines. Today, automation has meant that many of these jobs have ceased to exist and those that MY rema in aren’t PERSPECTIVE nearly so lucrative as they once were.

Last summer, Kate documents preJackman-Atkinson pared for Employ ment and Social Development Canada said that the Canadian economy could lose between 1.5 million and 7.5 million jobs in the coming years. The Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship at Ryerson University, in Toronto, estimated that over the next two decades, more than 40 per cent of the Canadian workforce is at high risk of being replaced by automation, computers and technology.

These out of work Canadians will no doubt prompt responses from government, but those now mapping their futures can be more proactive. It turns out there are quite a few jobs for which automation poses a low risk, but they may require Canadians to rethink “men’s work” and “women’s work”.

The Brookfield Institute report says that when it comes to automation, the five lowest risk occupations are, in order, retail and wholesale trade managers, registered nurses, elementary and kindergarten teachers, early childhood educators and secondary school teachers. The five lowest risk occupations are weighted towards what have traditionally been seen as “women’s work”. The Brookfield Institute's report projected that between 2014 and 2024, low-risk occupations will produce nearly 712,000 new jobs, while high-risk occupation are expected to add only 396,000 new jobs.

Nursing, in particular, is expected to see significant growth as Canada’s population ages. A recent Conference Board of Canada report noted that currently 1.4 million Canadian seniors use continuing care supports. They expect that number will increase by 71 per cent by 2026. With this growth, demand for nursing is expected to grow by 3.4 per cent annually between 2011 and 2035. Canadian Nurses Association, which co-sponsored the report, said that expected growth in the workforce likely won’t keep up with demand.

According to Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey, in 2016, 14,000 Manitobans were employed in “professional occupations in nursing”, but only 1,000 (7 per cent) of those were men. This number has actually declined since 2012, when just under 13 per cent of Manitoba nurses were men. When you look at the 19,600 Manitobans working in “assisting occupations in support of health services”, which includes support positions such as health care aides and orderlies, 2,900 of them, or 15 per cent, were men. Similar data for Prairie Mountain Health wasn’t available.

Education is a bit more gender balanced, but still more frequently chosen by women than men. Within the Beautiful Plains School Division, their 269 person staff includes 87 men. When looking at teachers specifically, there are 42 men, 28 of whom teach at the division’s two high schools. Province-wide, the LFS said that in 2016, 37 per cent of Manitoba’s teachers, including those at the post-secondary level, were men. Numbers weren’t available for other area school divisions.

These numbers are interesting because while certain professions may be perceived as being more male or female oriented, when you look at the specific duties associated with the jobs, there’s very little to suggest that a woman, or a man, should be doing them. Over the last 100 years, women have fought to secure their economic futures in male oriented fields, maybe it’s time to really move beyond “pink” and “blue”.

Moral authority

A

s a public speaker, Rona ld Reagan was hard to beat.

His speeches were carefully worded. They may not have been short; many were not sweet; but they were always to the point. He did not hide behind fancy rhetoric. He did not leave his hearers guessing as to his intent.

To use a modern phrase, he stood up, he spoke up and when he was done, he shut up.

So, when, as part of his first presidential campaign, he promised to invest billions of new dollars to make the US military the best in the world, everyone knew what he wanted—and in time they knew why. Reagan took aim at the Soviet Union. He called it “an evil empire.” But, he said, the United States cannot stand up to the Soviets because we do not have the military strength to do so. His plan—rearm the military, make it strong, and then, when negotiating nonaggression pacts with the Soviets, Americans would

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein be able to negotiate from a position of strength.

Reagan’s words won him the presidency and his plan was ultimately approved by Congress. But the Soviets were not about to be bullied.

They had their own national interests to protect; and no one understood that better than Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. He and Reagan met on several occasions during Reagan’s presidency and ultimately, it was their personal relationship and the trust they had in each other that made disarmament treaties possible.

While I cannot, in good conscience, support some of the policies or political beliefs of either man, I must give them credit for one thing. They were both, in my view, men who possessed a great deal of moral author-

ity. They spoke their minds and clearly articulated their positions on foreign and domestic issues. They made promises and worked as hard as they could to keep them.

Their records at home, dealing with issues within their borders, gave them the moral authority to demand changes from leaders of other nations and to expect that, when bi-lateral agreements were signed, they would be kept.

That’s not the case today.

Our leaders lack the moral authority to demand change from anyone; because we have failed to do at home what we want those outside our borders to do.

Many years ago, a group of religious leaders came to Jesus, bringing with them a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery.

y daily walk allows me to become acquainted with the people in my neighbourhood. Now there are days when the 30 assigned minutes (I make the assignment!) became 40 or more. And that suits me fine. One of the yards I regularly pass has a well kept and well loved 110 John Deere garden tractor.

Oh the memories the sight of it brings.

Our 110 was a part of the package when I married Ed, way back in 1974. With it, the lawn was mowed, the garden tilled and the children entertained. It was used to motor down the road to play with the cousins, it became a gypsy caravan or a pioneer cart crossing the prairie when the trailer was attached. It was a common sight to see the trailer filled with playmates and toys,

The clutch became a bit lazy, allowing even a too young child to relax the clutch enough to shift gears.

There was a time when one of the children misjudged the distance between the hydro pole and the guy wire, and the tractor slowly, and steadily, rose to a dangerous angle before the shrieks brought adult aid.But there were several incidents, so some memories merge! There was the time a grandchild hooked the rope swing dangling from a mighty

limb. The limb sagged a tad under the impending weight and once again, shrieks and screams brought the rescuer. Or the time one of our young friends misjudged the distance between two trees – the scar remains on the young tree that gave way.

It was all good fun and all a learning experience.

The 110 was in for more than one motor overhaul, it spent a short time in the ACC shop, when one of the sons attended shops there. It got a paint job, survived a fuel filling fire – quick thinking saved the shed- and more life lessons learned. Prefer-

They demanded that she be punished according to the Law of Moses—meaning that she would be stoned to death. How did Jesus reply?

“Let those who are without sin cast the first stones.”

One by one, these leaders dropped their rocks and left. Not one of them had the moral authority to cast a stone at this woman; and they knew it.

Moral authority is not automat ic. It must be earned—by keeping promises made, respecting the rights of others and helping those in need. Until we take significant steps to deal with poverty, homelessness, violent crime, sexual abuse, racism, prejudice and injustice at home; any concerns Canada raises internationally will fall on deaf ears.

Acquiring moral authority takes work. Governments have a role to play. But the bulk of the work will be done by people like you and me who, after earning moral authority of our own, use it to help change the lives of others.

ably, you should wait till the engine cools before filling and preferably fill outside.

There were seasons when there were no children or grandchildren to play with the 110. There were seasons when the 110 was excused from tilling the garden. But always it was loved, kept in the shed and cared for.

There came a day, back in 2012, when with reluctance, the little green 110 was placed in the lineup at Ed’s dispersal of collections auction sale. I noted with satisfaction, how the family that purchased the unit did not wait to load it up and transport it home.

With them went a hunk of wonderful memories. And a little bit of me. The 110 became my workhorse, we bonded, I knew what it was capable of doing and we accomplished great things.

great grand children are starting school, while some of my children are talking about retirement. Really, where did the time go, how fast did the years pass by? Did we make the most of the time we spent on this earth so far?

The older I get, the more I think how important it is to spend our time wisely, do things together with our family or just with our spouses or maybe some special friends.

Whatever the future holds for us, let us not forget to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord to please Him in all respects bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10).

Let the Lord have His way this week.

Letters

Response to May 26 column Ken Waddell’s May 26th rant concerning unions, NDP and hogs, requires a response. Seldom have I seen so much ignorance displayed in a single offering, even in the Banner.

You spend a good deal of ink on what the NDP did to us. For your information, they were voted out of office 14 months ago. The Pallister Tories are 1/3 through their mandate. It’s time to consider what the present government is doing to us. From emergency room closures, community clinic closures, closure of Misericordia’s special vision department, de-funding personal care homes, de-funding shelters for abused women, reducing medical personnel through closures to reducing senior citizens education tax assistance, there is plenty for you to write about. Of course, we all know that widows living on O.A.S. pensions have far too much money.

When you speak of unions, I am fully convinced that you have never actually held a job where someone else was in charge. You have no idea why there are unions or what their purpose is. But that’s a subject for a follow-up letter.

Now we come to the hog industry, which you say the NDP and the unions have destroyed. First, some information. Manitoba has three per cent of Canada’s population and about 12 per cent of the farmland. But Manitoba produces 30 percent of Canada’s hogs, more than any other province except Quebec. Hardly sounds like a “destroyed industry”. However, the industry is no longer in the hands of family farmers. Through ownership or contracts, the industry is controlled by corporate interests through vertical integration.

But now you make the astonishingly ludicrous statement that a hog produces the same amount of feces as a human. Ken, I can now understand why your career as an Ag Rep and as a farmer were both quite brief. Both require at least some rudimentary knowledge of agricultural stuff.

Hog will grow to 100 kg in under six months. A human takes 15 to 20 years. Obviously, to grow 30 to 40 times as fast, a hog must eat a great deal more daily. Consequently, a 100 kg hog will defecate about two kg daily, compared to about 200 grams for a human. About a 10 to 1 ratio. Since a hog has no sweat glands, it will also urinate a great deal more. Having raised quite a few hogs in the good old days, when hog pen cleaning was done up close and personal, using a tool known as a short handled shovel, I will personally vouch for a hog’s waste production capacity.

With the province producing about nine million hogs annually and an average life span of just over six months, it follows that at any given time, there are close to five million hogs in Manitoba, compared to about 1.25 million humans. A bit of arithmetic indicates that Manitoba’s hog population will produce 40 times as much body waste as our human population. It’s not something to pooh pooh about. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

In case anybody thinks that farmers don’t need to be regulated, a bit of personal observation. In 1871, the newly formed Manitoba legislature passed a law prohibiting dumping of manure in a river or lake or on the ice thereof. In 1970, 99 years later, I attended a seminar on cattle feeding. All of us were shocked to find that this farmer, who was being touted by the department of Agriculture as a good example, was feeding his cattle in a flood plain and on the river ice.

The farmer boasted that his clean out costs were nil, the river cleaned his lot for him. Sadly, that farmer happened to be a prominent Conservative member of the Manitoba Legislature.

Farmers are stewards of the land, their own land.

Unfortunately, many don’t give one small damn about their downstream or downwind neighbours.

An eye to future operations helped guide construction

PHOTOS BY KATE JACKMAN-ATKINSON

The high bay shop space was built to create a safe working environment. It features pull through lanes for vehicles entering and exiting and an automatically controlled air exchange system.

The bioswale (greenspace) on the north side of the building not only provides a nice entrance to the building, it also serves a purpose, providing a buffer from the parking lot. It features low maintenance trees and plants and was designed to hold and slow down water, including run off from the roof, instead of quickly moving it. Pauls explained that this area can be used, if needed, for future expansion.

Continued from page 2 There are also dividable meeting room spaces and flexible use common areas.

The downside is that with no fixed walls or ceilings over the work areas, there is a lack of privacy.

There are small and large meeting rooms, as well as the winter garden area which can be used for private conversations. Pauls called this one of “biggest challenges,” but added that the staff tend to adapt, as similar work spaces are used in the Winnipeg head office.

Much of the building is automated, which includes the heating, cooling, sun shades and lighting systems. Pauls explains that the lights dim and brighten depending on the amount of daylight in the space.

With so many automated

services, Pauls explains that they are still working through some issues, which isn’t unexpected, based on their experience with other newly constructed buildings.

The high bay garage is one of the key areas of the service centre and Pauls explains that the building was designed with safety in mind. The garage is 10’ longer than their longest vehicle and was designed so that all vehicles can pull

through forward, without having to back up. The ventilation system, which is separate from the systems used elsewhere in the building, runs based on air quality, as determined by sensors. He explains that this means the system is never working harder than necessary.

As for the old Neepawa Hydro building, there’s no official word, but it will likely be sold off at some point.

Through window placement and roof lanterns, the new building has a bright feel. The few windows on the north side let in light, while the south side is mostly windows, helping heat the space in winter. Making it very bright was one of the goals, explained project manager Mark Pauls.

The roof lanterns will open on hot days to help exhaust hot air.

Picnics, a summer highlight This year, Canada is celebrating 150 years since confederation (The sesquicentennial). I thought I would spend the next several months showcasing some historic recipes in Canada’s honour.

Summer time and picnics go hand in hand. In the “old days” picnics were a huge affair, a social gathering of community. Every one attended, from the hired hand, to grannie, for food, fun and fellowship. Schools, churches and neighbourhoods held them.

Ball games, three legged races, potato sack races and other various games kept both young and old entertained. The highlight was the homemade ice-cream. Thick farm cream, milk made into a custard, ice, salt and some hard work at turning and voila ice cream. Today ice cream is a regular item on our menus. Back in the day, however, before refrigerators, ice cream was a precious commodity. During the winter, when the lakes and rivers froze up, large blocks of ice were cut and hauled home by team and wagon to an ice house. The ice house was an insulated building where the blocks of ice were stored and covered with sawdust to keep them frozen well on till the summer time.

The person who cranked the ice cream was the lucky one that got to lick the dasher.

Today’s recipes are both from old cookbooks and to be enjoyed on a hot summer day.

Vanilla ice cream This recipe makes 1 gallon of ice cream.

4 eggs well beaten 2 cups white sugar 5 cups milk 1 Tbsp. flour

4 cups heavy cream 5 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt

Combine eggs, sugar, 3 cups of the milk and the flour in a double boiler and cook until mixture thickens, stirring frequently. Cool mixture. Combine thickened milk, remaining milk, cream, vanilla and salt and pour into ice cream freezer. Turn in ice cream maker according to maker’s instructions adding more ice and salt as needed.

Picnic party: The hats were purchased from Kerr’s store. From left: Reta McKenzie, Dickson Dinwoody, Nellie Kerr and Elsie Monington enjoy a picnic in Neepawa in this picture, taken around 1910.

Potato salad Dressing: 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup flour 2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1/2 tsp. pepper 4 egg yolks lightly beaten 1 1/2 cups of milk 1/2 cup vinegar 1 Tbsp. butter

Salad ingredients: 5 hardboiled eggs 1/2 cup chopped green 6 potatoes, cooked and 1/2 cup chopped parsley onions diced 2 stalks celery, diced 2/3 cup diced radishes To make the dressing: In the top of a double boiler, mix sugar, flour, salt, dry mustard and pepper. Stir in the yolks and milk and cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened. Add vinegar and butter, then cool. Combine remaining ingredients and mix with the cooled dressing.

Manitoba Crop Report

JUNE 23, 2017

Birnie students celebrate graduation

June 19-23, 2017

Submitted Manitoba Agriculture All regions have reported recent precipitation, with amounts ranging from 15 to 55 mm.

Crops and pastures have benefited from these rains, though the cool temperatures have slowed growth of corn and soybeans.

Herbicide applications continue as weather conditions allow. Crops in most areas have received one herbicide application.

Fungicide applications are just beginning, largely in winter and spring wheat, for management of fusarium head blight and leaf diseases.

Iron deficiency chlorisis has been observed in soybeans in central and eastern regions, although some recovery is noticeable.

First cut haying has been continuing as weather conditions allow. Alfalfa weevil has been reported in the Southwest and Interlake regions.

Southwest region Showers and thunderstorms brought 25 to 45 mm of rain to the region.

Northern areas are in g reat shape but some f ields in the southwest corner are experiencing moderate moisture stress, with standing water in low

lying areas. Overall most crops are benefiting from these rains.

Winter wheat and fall rye are fully heading, with producers starting to apply fungicides. Spring cereals vary in stage, from tillering in the early seeded crops, to two or three leaf stage in the later seeded crops. With the exception of the later seeded crops, herbicide application is completed.

Canola is doing well and early seeded crops have cabbaged out. Later seeded crops benefited from the rain as the seed was sitting in dry ground. Corn and sunf lowers continue to develop, but growth is slow, due to the cooler temperatures. Soybeans are progressing well. Some early seeded f ields are getting their second glyphosate application. Weed control measures are now 75 to 80 per cent complete across the region.

Central region Field activity was limited due to cooler temperatures and rain showers.

Rain was welcome for most and amounts ranged from 15 to 30 mm for much of the region. Higher accumulations were seen in Gladstone, Portage, Austin, Macgregor, Treherne, Clearwater, and

Cartwright, at 35 to 45 mm. Low wind conditions early in the week allowed a number of producers to catch up on herbicide application. Most cereals and canola fields have received one herbicide application.

The majority of cereals are growing well. Canola is advancing well; benefiting from the recent precipitation and cooler temperatures. Crops are no longer susceptible to f lea beetle injury. Most fields are in four leaf stage to bolting, although some canola was reseeded last week.

Corn growth has slowed with the cooler temperatures, while sunf lowers, f lax and peas are growing well.

Most soybeans range from the first to third trifoliate. Majority of fields have seen first pass herbicide applications; second applications continue.

Fall seeded crops in western areas with good winter survival are growing well; fall rye and winter wheat continue to f lower, with the most advanced into the milk stage. Most fung icide appl icat ions have been undertaken where risk of fusarium headblight warranted.

Weed growth had been somewhat limited by lack of rainfall, but recent rains will bring on new f lushes.

Volunteers needed for AA Provincials

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The stellar on-f ield play of the Neepawa Cubs has them ready for the 2017 Senior AA Provincial Championship.

Now, they’re hoping the community will step up to ensure they’re just as ready off the f ield as well. Cubs player/coach Scott Newton said as many as 400 people from across the province will converge on the community Aug. 11-13, for this premier sports event. Newton noted that in order to ensure this weekend is a success, they need to f ind people who are willing to volunteer their time.

“Hosting an event of this magnitude is significant for the community.

It’s a real chance for us to showcase everything that Neepawa has to offer,” stated Newton. “But, in order to make the best impression possible, we’re going to need some assistance.”

Newton said they’ll require volunteers to assist with the prep work leading up to the weekend, such as

getting the Fair Grounds and diamonds groomed.

“There is one person already hired to cut the grass, everything else that’s connected to maintenance is done by volunteers. So, if we could f ind a few extra bodies to help with things like diamond maintenance, painting and just general cleanup, it’d go a long way to getting us ready.”

A s for d u r i n g t he event, Newton stressed that it’ll all be done t h r ou gh volu nt e er s , with about 140 shifts to f ill. Those jobs include gate keepers, grounds crew, score keepers, announcers and workers for the concession stand and beer gardens. T hen, a fter the championship game, cleanup crews are needed to ensure the diamonds and connected area are left looking pristine.

Anyone interested in helping out with the event is asked to contact Scott Newton, either via phone at (204) 8414727, or by email at scottnewton.nf@ gmail.com

Neepawa Natives seeking assistant coach for 2017-2018 season

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

There may soon be a new face behind the bench alongside Neepawa Natives head coach Dustin Howden. The MJHL club has released a call for resumes for the position of assistant coach for the 2017-2018 season. Ryan Menei served in that role last year, but needs to step away due to family related commitments.

Speaking to the Neepawa Banner on Tuesday, June 20 about the situation, Menei said this decision was a difficult one for him.

“It was a very tough decision, but there are some other requirements that had to take precedent. The Neepawa Natives really are a f irst class organization. It’s been great working with Dustin and Myles [Cathcart] and everyone else connected to the team,” noted Menei. “[Neepawa] should

be very proud of these young men, who make up that roster. Seeing them develop throughout the year, as both players and people was special. This

team has a bright future ahead of it.”

As a result of this decision, the Neepawa Natives are currently searching for an assistant coach for the

upcoming season. More information on the job can be found on the team’s website, while resumes can be forwarded to nnatives@ mymts.net.

Rain hampers Santa Clara schedule

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

Mother Nature has not been very cooperative as of late, with the schedule makers with the Santa Clara Baseball League.

Several recent games have been postponed, including a showdown between the Neepawa Cubs and Portage Padres, which has been cancelled twice due to rain. As of the publication deadline, there was still no confirmation on a makeup date.

When the Cubs were able to hit the field, they dominated, defeating the Plumas Pirates on Friday, June 23, by the score of 12-0. That was Neepawa’s fifth straight win and kept

The Portage Padres meanwhile, came away with a 12-1 victory over the Austin A’s on Monday, June 12 in Austin. With that vic-

Elsewhere around the league, the Carberry Royal split a pair of recent road games, losing to the Dau-

Obituary Valerie (Violet) Bialkowski Following a short illness, Valerie passed away peacefully June 5, 2017 at the Health Science Centre in Winnipeg.

Valerie Bernice was born March 10, 1928, on a farm near Polonia, Manitoba, to Stanley and Mary (nee Strelczyk) Kasprick, the youngest of ten children. Valerie's mother passed away several weeks later.

Valerie grew up on the family's farm and attended the nearby country school at Polonia. Her father later remarried and added another four children to the family.

Because she was the youngest of the first family, she got to be close to her half-siblings and many a time she helped with their care. Her nurturing gift and focus on family began while she was a child herself, and lasted throughout her life. She had a love for little ones and they easily responded. She was a natural teacher.

On May 4, 1946, Valerie married Nicholas Bialkowski at Holy Ghost Church in Winnipeg, after they took the train from Eden. They settled on the Bialkowski homestead near Polonia and raised seven children, without the basic conveniences taken for granted today. Nick, Valerie and family faithfully attended St. Elizabeth's Roman Catholic Church in the valley at Polonia. They moved to Neepawa in 1974; then later, in 1982, to Winnipeg, where she looked after her home, garden and beautiful yard until her recent illness.

Old time and other favorite music were enjoyed by the couple throughout their lifetimes.

She always grew a prosperous garden, somewhat smaller when in town and city, but bountiful. Her "green thumb" is still evident in her house plants today. Her family remembers quarts and quarts of home canning.

Valerie was predeceased by her husband Nick, son Leonard, grandson Brent and all her elder brothers and sisters, the most recent being her sister Matilda.

Other precious family members have passed along the way. She leaves to mourn her remaining children: Mary (Stephan), Joe (Marie), Dennis, Theresa (Pat), Merv, Christine (Doug), numerous grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, great-great grandchildren, and all other family members.

She will always be remembered for the way she made a house a home, her love of life and family, her wonderful cooking, her persistence and determination, a spunky sense of humor and many other fine qualities.

Funeral service was held at St. Dominic's Roman Catholic Church at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, June 13, 2017, Father Mark Filips officiating, with interment at Riverside Cemetery, Neepawa.

White's Funeral Home in care of arrangements.

NEEPAWA BANNER JUNE 23, 2017 17

The Dispatch: Spruce Plains responds to 239 calls Submitted Spruce Plains RCMP On April 2 at approximately 6:25 pm, police were patrolling Highway 10, north of Minnedosa, where they came across a vehicle travelling south.

The vehicle slowed quickly as it approached police and a traffic stop was initiated.

A lone female was located inside the vehicle, which was determined to be unregistered. The female displayed signs of intoxication to police and a roadside test was administered.

The female failed this test and was arrested for Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The female was brought back to the Minnedosa RCMP detach-

ment, where she provided two samples of breath reading 100 mg per cent and 90 mg per cent. As a result, Leeanne Blackbird of Keeseekoowenin was charged with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle while over 80 mg per cent and two Highway Traffic Act offences. On May 23, Blackbird plead guilty to the Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle while over 80 mg per cent and received a $1,430 fine, along with a one year driving prohibition.

On April 7, police were contacted by a business owner in Kelwood stating that a group of individuals attended the Kelwood

Corner Service Plus and stole four tires off a parked vehicle. It was determined that a female attended the location in regards to a vehicle that had been repossessed from her and she wanted the four tires from the vehicle, as she purchased new ones. She was told to leave the property and she couldn’t have her tires. When employees came back outside over an hour later, the vehicle in question was sitting on cinder blocks and the four tires were gone. As a result, Amber Govereau, of Bacon Ridge Settlement, has been charged with Theft and a warrant has been issued for her arrest.

On April 27, emergency personnel were called to

a motor vehicle collision at the south junction of Highway 16 and 10. It was determined that the driver of a car travelling west did not stop at the stop sign and collided with a grain truck. The male driver of the car sustained minor injuries and was transported to the Minnedosa hospital.

The driver of the grain truck received no injuries. The driver of the car, Inengu Mpoku, of Calgary, was charged for failing to stop at a stop sign.

On April 29, police were called to multiple locations near Arden and Plumas in regards to a suspicious male driving a quad. Police were patrolling the area and came across a male matching the description

given, driving the quad, while being towed through the parking lot at GWB Auto Sales in Plumas. A traffic stop was initiated with the vehicles. Police approached the quad to speak with the driver, when they noticed that the ignition was removed from the quad. The male was arrested for possession of stolen property and the removed ignition was located in his pocket.

With the help of Brandon Police Service, it was determined that the quad was stolen from a location in Brandon at some point during the night and being driven by the male back to Sandy Bay. As a result, Shane Richard of Brandon was charged with

Possession of Property Obtained by crime and Fail to Comply with a Probation Order. On May 23, Richard appeared in court and plead guilty to Possession of Property Obtained

by Crime and received a jail sentence of 60 days in custody.

The speeders of the month get to share the honour this month. Tammy Parsons, of Winnipeg, and Vernon Hall, of Moosomin, were both found travelling 141 km/hr by Cst. Cowan.

Both will make a donation of $586.75 to the Province.

Spruce Plains RCMP responded to a total of 239 calls for service in the month of April.
