It’s Time & FDJ make fitting donation

By Diane Warner Neepawa Banner & Press

Finding the perfect pair of jeans can be a challenge for many women, but last week, the search got a whole lot easier.

On Thursday, Oct. 19, A French Designer Jean (FDJ) custom jean fitting clinic was held at It’s Time Fashion and Gifts in Neepawa. As part of the clinic, John Wardell (the Western Canada FDJ sales rep from Winnipeg) and Cathy Milne (the fit specialist from Montreal) came to town and helped local women find the perfect fit and style of jeans for them.

“Many customers have an AHAH! moment when the specialist shows them why something just won’t work on their particular body type, but yet something else is perfect,” said store owner Ineke Mack, explaining why customers like the clinics.

Not only do customers benefit from the representatives’ advice, they also get to see and try on an expanded selection, more than it is possible for a store like It’s Time to carry regularly. “For the day of the fit

clinic, FDJ ships us every jean they have available, so the choice is much greater,” explained Mack.

Though known for designing pants for a woman, as opposed to a teen’s body, FDJ has jeans for all ages and sizes. Mack notes that the company’s styles continue to be fashion forward, “Breaking into the younger market, or younger thinking market, FDJ has a variety of distressed, embroidered and fun coloured jeans…

Offering these younger looks is opening a lot bigger market for them.”

This is the fourth year that It’s Time has held a FDJ fitting clinic. Mack explains that they hold them every two to three years, which seems to be as often as women replace their everyday, go-to jeans. “We all have our favourite go to jeans and these jeans usually get picked up at the fit clinics,” she said.

While the fit clinic may be over, for the month of October, for every person who tries on a pair of FDJ jeans, FDJ will donate $1 to woman’s cancer programs and workshops. During the day of the fit clinic alone, Mack said that they raised $97.

Perpetual care could become a public discussion Neepawa Town Council Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2017

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

A motion to set up an ad-hoc committee looking at Riverside Cemetery’s Perpetual Care (PC) program has been defeated by Neepawa Town Council. Recently, the suggestion was made to establish the committee, which would have been made up of four citizens, one councilor and a member of the Town administration.

It would have served as a fact finding group and would not make decisions on the future of the program.

Council voted against establishing the committee, citing that town administration have already been doing a thorough job researching the topic and that a larger section of the community may be interested in having a say. Council is now looking at a potential public meeting on the PC program. Neepawa mayor Adrian de Groot said that the council understands that something needs to be done, it’s just a case of figuring out the process.

“It’s always been part of my plan, as well as council’s plan, to engage the community at large in this conversation,” stressed de Groot. “The idea is that we will still continue to do our fact finding, and I’m committed and council is committed to having a community forum to hear the facts.”

A date for any type of public discussion or update on the PC program is still to be determined. The Cemeteries Act defines “perpetual care” as, “the preservation, improvement, embellishment, and maintenance, in perpetuity and in a proper manner of lots, plots, tombs, monuments, or enclosures, in a cemetery or of compartments in a columbarium or mausoleum.” In Neepawa, however, the local bylaw for perpetual care also states that “Perpetual Care at the Cemetery, excluding the Cremation Garden, shall provide an increased level of individual grave care and maintenance, which shall include the planting and care of f lowers on the grave.

Each grave receiving perpetual care shall have f lowers planted and care of the grave shall be as determined by Council from time to time.” In 1956 when the program was established, the perpetual care cost was $250. The cost in 2017 is $1,500.

Parade of Lights The route for Neepawa’s annual Parade of Lights has been approved. The route will go from Mountain Avenue to Davidson Street, then east to Brown. It will then go south on Brown to Hamilton Street and then

west to the museum. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, November 25 at 6:00 p.m.

Misc.

• The Town of Neepawa has approved second and third reading of a by-law to close a portion of Cameron Street. The reason for the decision is that the southern portion of that municipal road is no longer required for public purposes.

• Water and sewer installations have started at the former C.N. property, with staff working on services for the future fire hall building. As for the proposed fire hall structure, the tender process is underway.

• Completion of a new water line to the RM of Rosedale is progressing. The portion within the boundaries of the Town of Neepawa are expected to be finished by early November. Last month, Council approved a by-law authorizing an agreement with the RM of Rosedale for the supply of water to the municipality. The water will be supplied through a new supply line built through Neepawa to the RM of Rosedale, which has the capacity to move between 100 and 150 cubic metres of water per day.

Looking beyond the surface

Heading down the wrong road

he last time I had a chat with former Premier Greg Selinger, he asked me when I was going to write a column that was critical of the PC Manitoba government lead

by Brian Pallister. Well, here you go Greg and you still won’t likely agree with me.

Premier Pallister f loated the idea a few weeks ago that a heath care premium was being considered. I came out and said it was good idea. People may recall that I said, “Most provinces have premiums, Manitoba does not. We used to have them.

Back in 1971, I paid them, as did every other employee, each month as a deduction on our pay cheques. The premier of the day, Ed Schreyer, took them off. That was a mistake, as the fees generated a lot of money for health care.

There are several advantages to a health care premium. One is that it is designated health care money, unlike a PST increase that can stray its way into any one of a number of government departments. The second advantage is that it keeps it front and centre in a person’s mind that health care isn’t free. It has a high cost to it. Forty-two percent of all government expenditures go to health care.”

A poll came out that showed a majority of the people interviewed were against a health care premium. I happen to think they are wrong. If Pallister backs down, and maybe he has to in the face of heavy poll results, I think he is wrong too.

The PC government is also neepawa

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell wrong to implement a carbon tax. Manitoba produces so little greenhouse gas that it is almost impossible to measure it. And yes, it may help the environment to reduce greenhouse gases, but we have to understand two things. Manitoba’s contribution isn’t only minimal, it is actually a net negative. With all the hydro power generated, with all the farmland we have acting as a carbon sink and all the forests we have doing much the same, there is no way on God’s green earth that we can be held responsible or taxed for carbon. A carbon tax is insanity at its finest.

The carbon tax is being brought in by Prime Minister Trudeau’s backers. He doesn’t understand enough about science to know a greenhouse gas if he saw one, but it is the f lavour of the week. No, it’s the f lavour of the decade and the federal Liberals are going to ride it for every vote they can squeeze out of it.

The biggest problem with a carbon tax, as compared to a health care premium, is that the carbon tax will be frittered away into general revenue. A health care premium might be desig-

nated funding for health care.

Actually, the Manitoba Liberals took a step in the right direction on the weekend. They elected Dougald Lamont as leader. The Winnipeg Free Press said in an article, “Lamont listed three policy proposals he’ll put to the caucus and party right away. He’d create a Manitoba business development bank to boost private-sector job creation and he wants health-care reforms, beginning with the end of regional health authorities and their boards. ‘We want to dismantle them and return control to local communities,’” Lamont said. The Liberals would significantly reduce the number of children taken into care by social workers, he promised. ‘We have a CFS-to-prison pipeline,’ he declared.”

How’s that for fresh approach?

But that said, it’s doubtful that Lamont will be against the carbon tax or in favour of a health premium. He should be, but like all the other politicians, he will likely fall in behind the Trudeau pack who say “yes” to carbon tax and “no” to health care premiums.

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell

t’s hard to walk in someone else’s shoes, but we would all be better for it every once in a while, putting them on, lacing them up and taking them for a spin. I was reminded of this last week while reading the book Wonder. Though MY aimed at chil- PERSPECTIVE dren and young adults, the book offers a valuable lesson to people Kate of all ages.

Wonder fol- Jackman-Atkinson lows Aug ust (Augg ie) Pullman, a Grade 5 student who was born with severe facial deformities and who is attending school for the first time. Until the book starts, he was home schooled because the numerous surgeries aimed at helping to correct his medical conditions meant that he spent too much time in hospitals and at home recuperating to attend school.

Despite the surgeries, as he steps into the school hallways for the first time, he still looks very different from the other children.

The book reads like a diary and is told from the perspective of not just Auggie, but also his older sister and other young people as they navigate issues of friendship, prejudice, social status, bullying and acceptance. Auggie shares what it feels like to see revulsion in the face of everyone he meets and what he wishes people would do or say. The other children confide in the reader their reaction to meeting Auggie and why they do or don’t want to be friends with him. For some of them, friendship with Auggie means accepting negative repercussions, such as being ostracized by some of the other students.

It’s been a while, but reading the book took me back to that age.

It made me remember how important social status seemed in middle and high school, when students became divided along so many different lines: Were you popular? Were you a jock? Were you a nerd?

Where did you fit in? Who did you sit with at lunch? Who were your friends and were they real friends? At that age, social status seemed so relevant to future happiness, but reading Wonder made me look back, think and remember.

I think most adults would agree that these things, which seemed so important back then, become less so as we grow up. The book’s message is a powerful one that’s relevant throughout life: those less concerned about fitting in and more concerned with being friends with people they like and who are kind are more likely to end up with better and stronger friendships. As we become adults, we value our friends more for their support and encouragement and less so for which clique they belong to.

As we reach the end of October and students are settling into their places in the social hierarchy for the year, it seems a good time to remind them of the importance, and rewards, of seeking true friendships. But the message isn’t just relevant to students; as adults, we could all use the reminder.

Some of the students struggle to see past Auggie’s outward appearance, to look at the world from his point of view, but all the children who befriend him talk about how smart, kind and funny he is and how fun he is to be around. He is a good friend. We all sometimes need a reminder to look past our initial reactions and presumptions; there may be something great beyond the surface.

Perspectives Observation Prayer changes people.

Changed people change things

OCTOBER 27, 2017

S

everal years ago, a Nor t h Da kot a farmer organized a gathering in the middle of one of his wheat fields.

Joining him were many of his friends, his neighbours and some of their friends— so it was a fairly large group. Clergy of all faith traditions were there as well. This was not a protest meeting. This was a prayer meeting—and that’s what caught the attention of a CNN reporter.

Many of those who gathered to pray that day were facing significant financial challenges.

Their communities were suffering one of the worst droughts on record. Crop prospects were grim. Hay and forage crops were very poor—feed for beef and dairy cattle, hogs and other livestock was getting harder to find—and the needed rains were not forecast to come any time soon.

After the formal service ended, the reporter asked one of the farmers why he had come to this gathering.

His reply: “We’ve tried

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein everything else.” Unfortunately, that statement says a lot about the average North American’s view of God and of the purpose of prayer.

Now don’t get me wrong here. I am all for people praying together in times of crisis; but I am not surprised when I hear some of those who came together to pray, openly wonder if anything was achieved by what they did. “We prayed in the wake of Harvey— and Irma still hit us. What good did it do us to pray?”

I can understand the frustration of those who say these things. In times of desperation, I have offered similar prayers and achieved the same results.

But, thanks to a wise counsellor, I learned that the purpose of prayer is not to twist God’s arm so that he

will do what we want him to do. The purpose of prayer is to change us—to bring us to a point where we can say: “God, whatever you choose to do; however you choose to answer our prayers, may your will be done.”

That is not fatalism— that is a prayer of faith. But this prayer does not absolve us of blame for any part we may have had in causing the problem about which we are praying. Sometimes we are the authors of our own misfortune. Nor does it excuse us from the responsibility of doing what we can to be part of the solution.

God has his people, on the ground, where they need to be, ready to help the victims of every disaster rebuild their homes, businesses and lives. Being part of the solution means

giving them the tools so that they can finish the job; and then doing everything we can to lessen the impact of future events when they happen—as they most certainly will.

That is why St. Paul urges us to pray about everything. Whatever the issue, whether large or small, bring it to God, express your desire concerning it; then release it into his control and leave it there. Let him respond in his time and in his way; and be prepared to do what God may ask of you to help bring about His answer to your prayers.

For many years, a small plaque hung in my office.

Three words were written on it: “Prayer changes things.” It doesn’t hang there any more. I lost it many years ago. A new one will hang there shortly; as a constant reminder that God wants me to be part of his answer to my prayers.

Here’s what it will say: “Prayer changes people.

Changed people change things.”

Perfect wording...

t’s a different book on my side table, the genre is the same, non fiction Canadian. This time “Ride the Rising Wind, One Woman’s Journey Across Canada” by Barbara Kingscote. A young woman of 20, Barbara chooses to deliver a horse from Quebec to Vancouver, way back in 1949. Her journey took 16 months, stopping to work a winter before leaving the bush of Ontario. Easy reading, the book chronicles the people she met, the trials and tribulations of isolation and doing without. There were opportunities to catch up with her mail, send pages of her diary back home, make do and do without.

Time after time a phrase, gently used, caused me to literally put the book down and contemplate the implications of the words, for me.

Early on Kingscote recounts the day that Nell, her

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen equine mentor, needed to be released from her pain. The faithful horse suffered from heaves, a slow irreversible asthma, and that, with a combination of poor hay and old age could not be cured. Not even with the helpful veterinary column of the Family Herald. It was during the Second World War and there was no money for a vet, so when Nell began to bleed from her nose, the SPCA was called. “I heard the shot that ended Nell’s life. That day I aged alone.” That day I aged alone….Haven’t too many of us had that sort of day? Sometimes early in our life, sometimes later. There

was a defining day when I aged alone, Grew up in a hurry. I was a young teen and my dog, the farm dog, had tangled with a skunk that proved rabid. We tried isolation, but the dog hated it and broke free. My father asked a neighbour lad to come a shot Butch, and as accustomed as the dog was to a gun – he was used to accompanying me and the gun into the bush-Butch broke free. It came down to me holding the rope, Butch sitting trustingly at my side, while my father shot him.

Doing what had to be done.

That day I aged alone.

That scene is relayed before the author starts on

her adventure. Months on the trail she finds a haven at a farm house. Jim, a blacksmith, is going to re-shoe her horse. First he takes her up to the house to meet his wife. “ Irene smiled up at Jim and he smiled down at her. I suppose he told her my name, but what I remember was the spider-silk connection spun by the smiles that passed between the two. That delicate strand wrapped itself around me too, drawing me to the dinner table as a friend.”

“Spider-silk connection spun by the smiles…” the wonder of the words takes my breath away. I have given, and received just that kind of smile. Beyond time, a comfort, a safety, a knowing. I have witnessed that smile, that smile between two that are one, that have enough room for others.

It may take me a good while to finish this book!

By Addy Oberlin There are several piles of “to do” on my table. Some need to be done right away, others can wait until later.

There are also two lists that need to be taken care of. It is all a matter of organizing my affairs. Most of us live a busy life and we could not live without calendars and lists to keep our life in order. Sometimes we need to organize our life into a different routine than what we were used to and not panic to make the adjustments.

When we look back we can see how God orchestrates our life. Nothing will happen without Him knowing about it and “the Lord will continually guide you (us)” (Isaiah 58:11).

When we are in distress the Lord is there to guide us along and help us to be at peace and content in whatever situation we are in as Paul tells us in Philippians 4:11.

Thumbs up, thumbs down A big “thumbs up” to Mayor de Groot, Neepawa Town Council and the Manitoba Department of Highways and Transportation for finally getting around to putting a layer of asphalt down to cover up a mass of potholes and smooth out Mountain Avenue. It will be a pleasure to drive up and down Neepawa’s Mountain Avenue and not have to dodge around water-filled potholes and not fear one’s car will fall apart from all those deep holes. Thanks to all.

1997: 911 services provided to Neepawa area

Cecil Pittman Neepawa Banner & Press 80 years ago Friday, October 22, 1937 John Foster, of Keyes, reeve of Lansdowne, was slugged and robbed of nearly $20 0 whi le on duty as elevator agent on Tuesday, Oct. 19.

The man who is alleged to have committed the act was tracked into the woods and later picked up by the police. He was identified as Joseph Zintner, 25, and reported to have all the money in his possession when taken into custody. Immediately following the robbery Mr. Foster telephoned chief McClain, of Neepawa, who notified the RCMP of Gladstone who tracked the man down.

70 years ago Thursday, October 30, 1947 It is not uncommon on a Monday morning to hear tales of brawls and bruises in the back lanes of Neepawa after citizens from far and near have fortified their enthusiasm with a few drafts of lager.

However, to hear of a law-abiding and Christian gentleman of one of our nearby peaceful villages being assaulted in the parsonage of his church is a horse of a different colour.

It is learned from well informed sources that a few days ago a Christian and highly respected citizen of a nearby community went to the parsonage of his church of which he is one of the main supporters, to gratuitously make some repairs for the comfort of the pastor and his family and in furtherance of the Lord. It is alleged that while on his worthy mission the church member was, w it hout war ning or cause, feloniously assaulted by a hard blow in the mouth which sent him reeling to the f loor.

The blow is alleged to have been dealt by the pastor’s son, a man of husky proportions. When

the assaulted member finally extricated himself and reached the street he was in a dazed and bloodstained condition.

This is indeed strange and amazing conduct on the part of a servant of the Lord in a peaceful and law abiding community. The injured man is, above all, entitled to see that the law is enforced and that he is not in danger of his life or injury to his person.

60 years ago Thursday, October 24, 1957 Jack Thomas is once again president of Jack Dance Club. Jack Thomas was re-elected president of the Neepawa squaredance club at a meeting held on Thursday, Oct. 17 in the arcade. Other officers elected were Roy McGilvary, secretary and Lyle Hulme, treasurer.

Members of the executive are Mrs. Carl North, Mrs. Roy Birnie, Harold Ishenberg, and Harold Harrison.

The guests were received by reeve Cecil Ferguson and Mrs. Ferguson, and committee chairman Keith Hoath and Mrs. Hoath. They were ushered to their seats

by D.B. Foreman and W.B. Cochrane. Dennis Patterson was chairman for a variety program and a showing of slides and movies by B. Clayton and G. Orchard of the Centennial activities of the year.

McCreary RBC shutting down

Submitted Neepawa Banner & Press

Last week Langruth and surrounding areas experienced a state of emergency as portions of The Big Grass Marsh went up in flames. The blaze travelled to highway 50, luckily none of the local residential or farm buildings along the road received any major damages.

The whole week, the fire departments from Amaranth and Langruth fought the fires and they were forced to call in water bombers to finally stem the inferno.

According to the R.M. of Westlake-Gladstone Mayor David Single the fire would appear to have been set intentionally though no suspects have been found or named. Single said, “No one should be starting any outdoor fires in the area.” There is still high risk of more fires breaking out, the area is very dry. A large amount of pasture grass was lost and some farmers in the area will be forced to allocate different sources for grazing this fall.

We Scare Hunger campaign

By Charlie Strelczik and Claire Tomoniko NACI HOPE

Halloween can be a scary time of year, but what’s even scarier is how many people go without enough food. Over 860,000 Canadians use a food bank each month. That’s enough people to fill the Rogers Centre in Toronto 17 times. On October 31, help N.A.C.I’s

H.O.P.E group “Scare Away Hunger”. Instead of collecting candy, students will be collecting nonperishable food items like canned goods, cereal, and pasta from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm. All donations will be given to the Salvation Army. Help make a difference this Halloween!

New adventures bring new friends for Neepawa 4-H

By Jessica Morton Neepawa Banner & Press Neepawa and Area 4-H members were able to visit a part of our nation that very few Canadians have experienced, and they made a few new friends along the way.

On Thursday, Oct. 11 the 4 -H group held a presentation at Neepawa Area Colligate Institute to share the highlights of their most recent exchange trip with the 4-H students from Amherst, Nova Scotia. “Our experience was awesome and we learned a lot about the communities involved in the exchange,” one 4-H member recalled.

When the Nova Scotia students arrived they immediately noticed some differences in Manitoba compared to what they were used to back home.

They noted that the landscapes were much f latter than the curvy, hilly lands in Amherst and the waters were clearer and less salty compared to the brown, salty waters that “look like chocolate milk” in Nova Scotia. Each Neepawa 4-H member was paired up with a ‘twin’ from the Nova Scotia 4-H group.

The first experiences that the ‘twins’ were able to share together was having lunch at the Forks Marketplace in Winnipeg and visiting the Human Rights museum. The Nova Scotia 4-H’ers visited the

Here are the 4-H members that participated in the exchange with their chaperones.

Neepawa area for 10 days (From June 29 until July 8) and there was no shortage of fun activities for them to participate in during that time. On July 1, the Nova Scotia students celebrated Canada Day in Minnedosa. Many of the 4-H’ers noted how beautiful the fireworks looked as they ref lected off the water and lit up the sky. July 7 was the day before the twins had to depart and go back home to Amherst and it was spent doing a tour with the polar bears at the Assiniboine Zoo and participating in the Escape Rooms. “We went to bed happy but unsettled because we knew we had to say goodbye the next day,” said one of the

Neepawa 4-H members.

On July 8 the 4-H group was sad to see their new friends go but they were happy to know that on July 25 it would be their turn to go to Nova Scotia and they would be able to see each other again.

When the Neepawa and area 4-H group arrived at the Moncton airport in Nova Scotia they realized that “The dirt was very red and there were lots of fields with potatoes.” One of the activities they did on the first day in Nova Scotia was go across the confederation bridge by bus to get to P.E.I and visit the Anne of Green Gables Heritage place for a tour followed by a visit at the goat soap factory and

McCreary Chase the Ace

dirt shirt factory, where they were able to pay to get their shirts dyed in the red soil of P.E.I. On July 31 the 4-H groups took a tour of the Maritime Egg Factory where they learned that one million eggs are produced there each day. After their tour at the Egg Factory everyone did volunteer work at the radio station in Amherst which included painting the exterior and making

commercials. The day before they had to depart, Aug. 1, a few last adventures were planned. The day consisted of going to Pier 21 to learn about the journey many immigrants had faced on their way to Canada followed by a tour at Citadel Hill and the Halifax Museum. The last activity of the day, which was everyone’s favourite, was tidal bore rafting.

Tidal bore rafting is when

you sit on a wooden board that is surrounded by a balloon like structure on the outside and go over waves on the ocean. On the day that our 4-H group went there were six to eight foot waves and the instructor said that was mild for the season. One 4-H member, Claire Tomoniko, recalled that “it did not feel mild!”

When it was time for the Neepawa students to come back home they ran into quite a bit of trouble at the airport. When they arrived at the Moncton airport they were told that there was a storm in Toronto and that their f light would be delayed by two hours which caused them to miss their connecting f light home. When they f inally got to Toronto they were able to get on a plane set to land in Winnipeg at 1:30 am. Most of the group had been awake for 24 hours at this point but even through all the troubles it turned out to be a memorable event and being able to make so many long lasting memories and forming strong friendships with their ‘twins’ is something that will stay with this 4-H group for the rest of their lives.

Bringing to life the world’s greatest lake

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press

Arguably the world’s greatest lake, Lake Agassiz appeared to be little more than a frigid expanse of ice and water. But that initial impression proved to be far from reality when author Bill Redekop began looking beyond the surface. “It’s a special body of water,” he said of the lake.

“My impression going in was that [Lake Agassiz] was a lifeless body of water covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet,” explained Redekop, “but if you looked towards the [Riding Mountain] escarpment, you would see an explosion of greenery, growing plants… The world was being reborn.” The land at the edges of the lake were home to big fauna, such as mastodons, wooly mammoth and bear-like species as tall as moose.

“It was the land of giants,” said Redekop.

About 20,000 years ago, glacial Lake Agassiz covered most of what is now Manitoba and the Neepawa area was a special place within its ecosystem. In fact, the Neepawa area was so important to the lake, that the official launch of Redekop’s book, Lake Agassiz: The Rise and Demise of the World’s Greatest Lake, was held in Neepawa on Oct. 25, at an event co-hosted by the Beautiful Plains Museum and the book’s Winnipeg-based publisher, Heartland Associates.

A layman’s guide Going into the three year project, Redekop knew little about the lake or its history, but was approached by the publishers, Barbara Huck and Peter St. John, about writing the book. An award-winning journalist, Redekop had worked with Huck and St. John on previous books. “I had written with them before and they pitched it,” he said. “Peter and Barbara have been educating readers about ancient geology for the past decade. [Most people] know so little about Lake Agassiz, yet it’s all around us,”

he said of the motivation to bring the lake’s story to life.

Over the course of the book, Redekop takes the reader along his path of discovery, learning about the lake’s history and importance. While there is lots of information available about the lake, he explains that most of it is very scientific. “My mission was to create a layman’s guide, so everyone can understand and know about Lake Agassiz,” he explained.

He hopes that the book will serve as a framework, giving readers not just a basic understanding of the lake, but also giving those who want to learn more a foundation upon which to build.

Home Alone safety course coming to Neepawa

By Miranda Leybourne Submitted

The Town of Neepawa is putting on a course that will aim to teach children 11 years and older how to stay home alone safely.

The program, happening Tuesday, Nov. 7 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Neepawa Public Library, aims to show the participants how to prevent problems, handle real-life situations and be safe and constructively occupied.

Nicole Sy nchy shy n, Director of Recreational

Services with the Town of Neepawa, says the program offers an important service for the families of today. “It is important that children are prepared to prevent problems, stay safe and handle real-life situations when they are faced with them. This program is great for children who are just starting to be left at home for the first time, and a good refresher for those who have been staying home for years.”

Key topics that the program will focus on include establishing a routine, being

responsible for house keys, how to deal with strangers, how to use the telephone safely, what to do in emergencies, some basic first aid training and internet safety.

The program has been created by the Canada Safety Council, which puts on such safety-related campaigns like National Farm Safety Week, National Road Safety Week, National Senior Safety Week and more. To register your child for the program, which costs $35, call (204) 476-7614.

The Town of Neepawa is hosting an information session looking at different events that various community groups have planned for 2018 in an effort to create a full, engaging community calendar in the coming year.

The event is happening at the Chicken Corral restaurant on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome, and the Town of Neepawa’s Director of Recreational Services, Nicole Synchyshyn, says she hopes there will be a good turnout.

“Anyone who is interested in sharing what they have planned or are looking for feedback about potential activities or events are welcome to attend,” she attested. “Or, if you want to get involved and volunteer, but don’t know how to get started, this would be a great opportunity to come out and mingle with the groups responsible for the activities and talk about how they can help.”

This is a repeat of last year’s session, Synchyshyn said, when the town was in the midst of planning it’s Canada 150 activities.

“The feedback from that session was very positive and it was recommended that we hold a session every year for everyone to share their information and feedback,” she explained. “We hope to improve interaction amongst individuals, organizations and community groups for the betterment of the community as a whole.” She added the town is also interested in starting up a networking system for all the groups involved.

Westward Ford comes up big for Neepawa Natives Ford “Drive 4UR Community” a hit with local hockey fans.

Banner Staff Neepawa Banner & Press

When it comes to community involvement and support, Westward Ford has excelled. The local automotive dealership held an event in support of the Neepawa Natives hockey team. The event (Drive 4UR Community) was able to raise $3,220 for the team. Westward Ford sales manager Kevin Friesen said, “We are pleased with that number and the overall response from the community, It went very well.”

Neepawa Natives team President Ken Waddell added, “The team is very happy about the Ford Drive 4UR community program. Westward Ford, Kevin and the staff were very generous to the Neepawa Natives.

The players and team staff had a lot of fun visiting with our fans as they came out to test drive a new Ford car or truck. It was a really good day for the team and Westward. We can’t thank Westward enough for this opportunity.”

The Westward lot was filled with team supporters test driving vehicles from Westward. For every test drive Ford gave the Natives $20. Vehicles available included a 2017 Ford Fiesta SE, 2017 Ford Escape and a 2016 Ford Mustang 2.3litre Ecoboost, with many more models to choose from.

CX-9: Mazda’s stylish and sporty three-row crossover

By Ben Castle Submitted

Mazda introduced the original CX-9 three-row SUV for the 2007 model year in response to the sales success of similar models from Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Honda. However, despite being a stylish, powerful, practical and good value offering, it never quite enjoyed the same sales success as its rivals. Ten years later, Mazda have introduced a second generation CX-9 for the 2017 model year featuring sleek new styling, slightly more compact dimensions, a new engine featuring Mazda’s pioneering Skyactiv technology and brimming with state-of-the-art technology. Does the new CX-9 have what it takes to emulate the success of its little brother the CX-5 and take on the established players as well as newer value-leading rivals from Kia and Hyundai? Let’s find out.

CX-9 gets off to a great start. It’s sleeker than its more boxy rivals and borrows styling cues from the smaller CX-3 and CX-5 such as the prominent grille and muscular haunches, which gives it the impression of a big cat waiting to pounce! The test model supplied by Forman Mazda in Brandon, was the mid-range GT spec at $45.500 and with the LED lighting and 20 inch aluminum wheels, the look is both sophisticated and sporty. My only minor gripe is that I don’t think that the black paint of our test model brought out the vehicle’s elegant lines as much as a lighter colour would have done. It’s actually only two inches shorter than the old CX-9 and still longer than most of its rivals but somehow it manages to look smaller than it is and I’m going to stick my neck out and say that in my opinion, it is by far the best-looking vehicle in its class.

It would be a shame if this promising start was ruined by a cheap interior but fortunately, that’s not an issue.

Like the exterior, the interior design is elegant with excellent ergonomics and well-laid out controls and the use of high quality materials, even including rosewood trim and Nappa leather on top spec Signature models.

Even the steering-wheel is simple and elegant with a very compact airbag module, but initially it does feel a bit hard to the touch and the leather is a bit slippery.

All but entry-level GS models get an 8 inch touchscreen as standard and this is very simple and intuitive to use either via the touchscreen when stationary or an HMI controller which falls easily to the driver’s right hand when on the move. The controller works well but I would question why it’s safer to use that than the eye-level touchscreen whilst driving! GT and Signature models even get a heads-up display, which projects your current speed, the prevailing speed limit and cruise control settings onto the windshield. A few minor annoyances are that the glovebox and centre console storage box aren’t very large for a vehicle of this size and for some reason, the centre console lid is split into two sections which hinge from opposite sides.

I’m not sure why! I was also surprised not to see some features standard or available on high end models such as power, folding mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, remote start and steering-wheel mounted paddleshifters. The premium Bose system standard on this GT model had plenty of power but was disappointingly boomy. Perhaps it was the music that I was listening

Neepawa Farmers win THHL season opener

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

While the Neepawa Farmers entered the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) regular season hoping to be an offensive powerhouse, their output on Saturday, Oct. 21, during their home opener likely exceeded even their ambitious expectations. Matt Lowry lead the way with a six point effort (3 goals - 3 assists), to push the Farmers to an 11-2 win over the Gladstone Lakers at the Yellowhead Centre. Lance Nugent also had a solid stat line with four points (1G - 3A), while Reigan Buchanan and Ward Szucki also contributed three point performances respectively.

Regan Stire and Jordan Geddes scored for a depleted Gladstone team, which was missing a few of its core players due to scheduling conflicts.

NACI quarterback Tanner Mann receives the snap from centre, in the Tigers game versus the Virden Golden Bears on Thursday, Oct. 19.

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The late game heroics of quarterback Tanner Mann and the rest of the NACI Tigers, weren’t enough to overcome the Virden Golden Bears in recent Rural Manitoba Football League action. The Tigers rallied with a pair of touchdowns late in the fourth quarter, but were still bested by a 47-38 margin on Thursday, Oct. 19. Mann had his best game of the season behind centre, completing 15 of 23 passes for 547 yards and five touchdowns. He also had three runs for 20 yards and a single rushing TD. Normally a ground and pound type team, NACI had to air it out, in an effort to come back from an early game

deficit. Receivers Jacob Normore, Taine Middleton and Burke Erickson had big games for the Tigers. Normore had three receptions for 193 yards and two touchdowns.

Middleton was close behind on the stat line, with four catches for 185 yards and a single TD. Erickson, meanwhile, had six receptions for 155 yards and one score.

Jesse Jones had the other passing touchdown, a seven yard reception, as well as a catch on a two point conversion.

On special teams, Dexter Gutierrez and Dylan Devloo were each credited with fumble recoveries. Devloo also added eight tackles on defence, as did Tim Power and Rylan Hollier.

The loss dropped NACI’s regular season record to 2-5 on the year.

About the book: “The Night They Came For Til, they took me too.”

In the tenements of London England, 1904 is a dangerous time to be suffragettes on crusade.

Shannon’s aunt Matilda “Til” Stone, gynecologist,

suffragette, and all around tyrant, believes women should have the right to birth control and self determination. After ten years spent at Til’s side, Shannon was trained as a midwife to be her right hand.

After a brutal attack that was meant to destroy their work, Shannon is shipped off to Canada to avoid the scandal around Til’s arrest.

In Oakland, Manitoba, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union was assigned to start a cottage hospital and once it was complete, they were not allowed to run it. Shannon landed in a women’s rights battle that shook the community and threatened the new hospital.

Busy working as a midwife Shannon helped the women of the community find their voice while she found her own.

Faced with a choice to live a normal life as a wife and mother or go back to England and crusade with

Into the wild

The 1980’s were big, bold and bright. It had shoulder pads, big earrings, blue mascara, yellow eye shadow, big hair, unisex clothes, neon everything, leg warmers, acid wash jeans, Rubik's Cubes, Cabbage Patch Kids, Smurfs, Nintendo, Trivial Pursuit, Boom boxes and break dancing.

Yuppies were trying trendy foods such as potato skins, Tricolor pasta salads, Jell-O Pudding Pops, cheese out of a can, Orange Juliuses and spinach dip in a Pumpernickel bread bowl and on everyone’s mind was, “Who shot J.R.?”

In the 1984 federal election, John Turner of the Liberal Party is defeated by the Progressive Conservative Party led

by Brian Mulroney, who won by the largest parliamentary majority in Canadian history.

May 2, 1986 - Expo 86, a world’s fair on the theme of transport, opens in Vancouver.

1988 - The Winter Olympics open in Calgary and is a success however Canadians are not happy with the trade of Wayne Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings.

Touchwood Park day (see photo at right) activity programs for adults with developmental disabilities was started in the 1960’s by people who recognized the need for change for these adults. By the 1980’s Touchwood Park was growing to include a home for these adults to learn life skills, homes for longer term care, support for people residing independently in their own apartments and an expanded Day Service Program. They did fund raising with wood work products, making wedding decorations for cars, crafts of all kinds, quilting, teas and bake sales as well as a book for cooking wild game and fish. Today’s recipes come from that book.

‘Silver Tongue’ Dick Bland begins his assault “Renderings with Raymond” was normally a labour of love for Raymond Cooper.

After all, it was his “baby.”

Started in 1997 as a camouflaged attempt to bolster his clandestine mayoral candidacy, the talk show drew close to half of Lennox Valley’s residents each weekday from noon until 3:00 p.m.

The casual observer would think his plan had worked to perfection. With just seven weeks until the election, Cooper’s most recent antics looked sure to take him to the summit of local politics.

With less than an hour left in his Monday show, Raymond was already looking ahead to some respite during Lennox Valley’s second favourite radio program, “Swap Shop.” From time to time callers would interrupt their latest laundry list of items to swap with other listeners to instead bring up something about the price of eggs or the “slanted” newspaper editor, Iris Long, but on most days Swap Shop made for a relaxing change of pace.

It was 2:40 p.m. on that fateful Monday, when Raymond took what he thought would be his last call of the day. He generally saved the last ten minutes of the show to deliver a monologue concerning the Bank of Canada or some other pressing issue.

He answered the call with his usual greeting, “This is Raymond.

What’s on your mind?”

The voice on the other end stopped Raymond dead in his tracks.

“Hello, Mr. Cooper,” the caller

with the familiar, low-toned voice began. “This is Mayor Richard Bland, humble servant of the good folks of Lennox Valley.”

There was a discernible pause as Raymond frantically searched through the deepest recesses of his mind for the right words. He barely kept himself from sputtering out, “Well, if it’s not Silver Tongue in the flesh!” referring to the nickname of the town mayor, “Silver Tongue” Dick Bland. Luckily, he caught himself in time.

Instead, after several awkward seconds, he blurted out, “Well, yes.

Hello, Mr. Mayor. Welcome to our show. What’s on your alleged mind this afternoon?”

“Well,” began Silver Tongue, “I just wanted to congratulate you.”

“Congratulate me?” murmured Cooper, knowing that his intentions were probably less than sincere.

The mayor’s plan was to congratulate Raymond on his newfound faith. After all, Cooper had received no less than six calls on his Monday show in response to his “conversion” at the Lutheran Church the day before.

Mayor Bland began going over his thoughts early that morning.

Even with the nickname “Silver Tongue,” words didn’t always

come easily to Bland. Before a speech, he would practice for hours to give the impression that he was a naturally gifted orator.

The mayor memorized his lines, even writing them down on paper so he wouldn’t forget something important. They were a work of art, beginning with, “Isn’t it true that you hadn’t been to a church service in more than 50 years prior to yesterday?”

Then, with his low, powerful voice, he would force his point, “Isn’t it true that the only reason you joined Lennox Valley Lutheran Church was to sway the Christian vote of this community, knowing they would otherwise vote for me?”

But Cooper was quick. Sure, there was a momentary lapse upon hearing the Mayor’s voice, but he recovered quickly. As soon as “Silver Tongue” Dick Bland began with, “I just wanted to congratulate you,” Cooper immediately shot back with, “Well, thank you, Mayor!”

Without his listeners knowing it, Raymond hung up on Bland and spoke for 14 minutes about the mayor’s kind gesture in calling to congratulate him on his spiritual “awakening.”

“I can’t help,” he almost whispered as he closed his Monday show, “that he was divinely inspired to make that call. Thank you, Mayor.”

Safety an important part of Halloween spirit

By Miranda Leybourne Submitted

It’s that time of year again: Halloween.

Children are eagerly awaiting their chance to dress up in costumes and parade around the streets, going door to door for sweet treats. And while it’s important that children have fun, it’s also essential that they, and their parents and guardians, know how to be as safe as possible this Oct. 31.

The Government of Canada has released guidelines and tips for Halloween safety once again this year on their website canada.ca. The main topics they wish to educate parents and guardians on are choosing the right costume, decorating safely, staying secure while trick or treating and being cautious with candy and toys.

According to the government website, the safest costumes and accessories are ones that are labelled flame-resistant. Nylon or heavyweight polyester costumes are

recommended, as are brightly coloured costumes that are easily visible to motorists. Reflective tape is a great addition to a costume to make it even more visible.

Oversize costumes that can fit over warm jackets and winter accessories are recommended for enjoying a warm trick or treat session in Canada -- just make sure they aren’t long enough for kids to trip on.

When it comes to masks, the federal government recommends skipping the vision-obscuring accessories and instead opting for getting creative with face paint -- but be sure to do a patch test first to see if your child has any allergies to the ingredients in your paint.

Before getting carried away with the spirit of Halloween, the federal government says children should not carve pumpkins -- instead, they should draw their designs on with marker and leave the knife-work to an adult. Instead of using candles inside jack-o-lanterns, a

safer bet is using small flashlights or battery candles to create the same spooky effect. Always leave matches and lighters away from reach of children. If using decorative lights, ensure that they’re certified by a recognized organization such as the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or the Underwriters’ Laboratory of Canada (ULC). Make sure the lights have no broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires or loose connections, and don’t overload extension cords. Make sure there’s nothing in your yard or home that children can trip on. Use outdoor lights to help trick or treaters safely to your door.

When the time finally comes for the costumed kids to hit the streets, it’s essential that parents trick or treat along with their children until they are old enough to go with a friend -- but never allow them to trick or treat on their own.

Parents should ensure that children are taught how to stay visible and be aware

of their surroundings.

Giving each child a flashlight to carry is a recommended way to keep them safe, as is instructing them to stay only in well-lit areas and to only visit homes that have their outside lights turned on. It’s essential that all children know not to ever go into any homes or cars. In addition, children need to be able to cross the street safely.

Once the night is nearly over and it’s time to indulge in some sweet treats, the federal government says that parents should always examine the treats and toys their children have brought home before allowing them to eat or play with them.

Watch out for choking hazards.

In addition to keeping kids physically safe this Halloween, the Red Cross of Canada is encouraging families to download an anti-bullying message, found on their website redcross.ca, and to print it out and hand it to trick-or-treaters.

FILE PHOTO

Named after Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, who was the Chairman of the Grand Truck Pacific Railway back in 1908, Rivers is known to its outstanding fishing, school sports programs, and like any good prairie town, its hockey players.

Of late, the community has excelled at churning out netminders. Former Dauphin Kings ‘ goaltender Brent Willows and current Red Deer Rebels’ puck stopper Riley Lamb both call Rivers home. As does Ashton Anderson, one of the breakout talents in the MJHL and a big reason for the strong start by the Neepawa Natives this season.

Of course, when Anderson joined the Natives in 201415, they were just that – the last-place team in the 11 team loop. In his rookie year Anderson managed only two goals and five assists in 51 games, while his team struggled to a 15-win season and were the only team to miss out on the post season. The following year was actually worse – four goals and four assists in only 36 games, while the team dropped to 13 wins and again missed out on the post-season party.

But perseverance paid off, and last season Anderson saw his offensive production jump to 18 goals and a whopping 46 assists for 64 points in 59 games. He also helped the Natives clinch their first playoff berth in a number of years, pushing the Pistons to six games in the opening round.

Anderson has picked up where he left off last year and has been hot out of the game. By mid-October, he was tied for sixth in league scoring with 12 points, and was tied for second in goals scored with eight.

“I have a lot more confidence this year,” said Anderson.

“I’m shooting the puck a lot more, and I have good line mates.”

This early success is particularly rewarding for a player such as Anderson, who stuck with a team that had struggled for so many years and has only now become a team to be reckoned with.

“I’ve learned to appreciate this (early success) after going through two really tough years,” said Anderson. “Now we have a good squad, it’s enjoyable, actually.”

His bench boss says while it’s been a long time, coming, Ashton’s success is well deserved.

“Ashton is a four-year guy in his 20-year-old year,” said Neepawa head coach Dustin Howden. “Sometimes it takes some time for kids to learn junior hockey, and Ashton was given an opportunity last year. He took advantage of that and has never looked back.”

Howden credits Anderson for a strong worth ethic and his ice smarts as reasons for his remarkable increase in production.

“His skill set is improving all the time,” said Howden.

The Natives jumped from 13 to 21 wins last season to secure the eighth seed, but given early results this year, it would be safe to say they have higher expectations. Neepawa has won five of their first eight games, is sitting at a tidy plus 14 in goal differential, and entered the middle of the month just two points out of first place.

“I feel like we have a team that can be a top contender, and be near the top of the standings and make a real playoff push this year,” said Anderson.

The talented forward also hopes to parlay a strong 20-year-old season into a post-secondary opportunity south of the border.

Automotive Review: Mazda CX-9 Crossover

24 NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

Continued from Page 14 The ride is excellent, even on 20 inch wheels and 50 sidewall tires, and soaks up bumps and imperfections with ease. The steering is very light but precise and you can turn CX-9 confidently into bends with minimal body roll, as if you were in a mid-size sedan.

In fact, despite a mildly elevated driving position, you do feel more like you’re driving a sedan than an SUV, although CX-9 does offer a class-leading 8.8 inches of ground clearance, so maybe that’s just an illusion! Road, wind and engine noise is very subdued at highway speeds, perhaps thanks in part to the door seals, which also cover the sills and therefore keep them clean so that you don’t get your clothes dirty when entering or exiting the vehicle.

Entry-level CX-9 GS start at $36,200 for the front-wheel drive model.

If you want AWD, it’s an extra $2,500. GS gets 18 inch aluminum wheels, LED headlights, backup camera, power driver’s seat with power lumbar, heated front seats, tri-zone climate control, 7 inch touchscreen, HD radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and smart city brake support.

For an extra $3,100, GS-L adds power moonroof and liftgate, leather seats,

heated steering wheel, heated second-row seats, power passenger seat, LED foglights, proximity entry and keyless start and an 8 inch touchscreen. An additional $5,300 for GT spec, will gain you 20 inch aluminum wheels, Premium Bose audio, navigation, heads-up display, XM radio, front and rear parking sensors, power lumbar on the passenger’s seat, retractable sunshades in the rear doors and LED interior illumination amongst other features.

Finally for an additional $3,000, top-spec Signature trim adds more premium interior materials such as the aforementioned Nappa leather and rosewoodtrimmed centre console and door panels. The only option is a $1,600 Technology package on GT models which offers you enhanced active safety features.

A ll trim levels come well-equipped and offer decent value for money.

Realistically, GS and GS-L AWD trims offer you all the features that you really need, but for the additional features such as the navigation and 20 inch rims which really enhance the look of the car, I would go for GT spec as tested.

So, CX-9 may not be the most practical, spacious or have the highest towing capacity in its class but it does
