“Boston Pizza will be a perfect fit for Neepawa.

By combining a familyfriendly restaurant with a lively sports bar, we can offer a great atmosphere for the whole family.”

by Chad Carpenter

Wanted: more thinking and planning Who are we kidding except ourselves here?

I

think it is a good idea that the City of Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba are seeking to have Amazon locate a second home base facility in the city. It would be a good thing for the city and the province. It is a long shot, but as the head of CentrePort Canada said in a radio interview, it is a very good exercise. It is the same thing as the communities of south-western Manitoba banding together to try and land a soybean processing plant. Both are huge projects and they might not happen. However, the lessons learned in the process should give valuable insight into the capacity for projects.

Manitoba needs to be developed. We are no where near our capacity to produce food.

How to get that food to export markets is quite another issue. We can’t even get food economically to our own people in Churchill or remote communities. Certainly CentrePort Canada is one key to food exports but we have a huge hill to climb when it comes to getting food to our more remote communities.

With all the needs for infrastructure for transportation, it is sadly amusing that the federal, provincial and City of Winnipeg governments are debating whether to put $10 million into an overhead walkway from St. Boniface to The Forks. Even more ironic, the sewer under St. Boniface Hospital is leaking raw sewage into the river. Oh, I get it.

If we build an overhead walkway, then people can more easily see and smell the sewage as it leaks

Ken Waddell We don’t need elevated tax levels.

We need an elevated level of thinking, planning and a better investment environment. out into the Red River.

Who are we kidding except ourselves here? We are considering a promenade across a dirty river, all the while there is raw sewage going into it from St. B., from the U of M and from an unknown number of other spots in the city.

That the province and the federal governments are even considering such a project is disgraceful. There are towns and villages across Manitoba that have been or are under a boil water order and politicians are actually considering building a tree-top walkway over a dirty river. The Town of Rivers has worked a long time to get out from under a boil water order and that is to be celebrated. But Rivers certainly isn’t the only community that is facing very expensive upgrades.

The province is correct in helping the City of Winnipeg to dream the Amazon dream, good on them. That said, is there no one who can actually sit down and

figure out that across Manitoba, our sewage systems are failing, our water systems need upgrading?

Highways and railway crossings are in horrible shape. The rail line to Churchill is just plain broken.

There is only half an overpass into the City of Portage La Prairie.

Semi-trailer traffic is illegal on many of our paved roads because the bridges can’t legally carry a loaded B-train.

Manitoba needs more food production, more food processing and certainly more and better infrastructure. We don’t need elevated tax levels. We need an elevated level of thinking, planning and a better investment environment.

When government departments don’t even update their contact lists for five years, and this actually happened recently, how can we believe they are even thinking or planning? Perhaps the Amazon caper or the soybean effort will show us how to overcome our weaknesses and actually grow.

Up in smoke

n unusually hot and dry season has farmers breathing a sigh of relief as they get their crops off the field and into the bins, some in record times. But as the last trucks leave the field and farmers stop to look around, many also have concerns. The conditions that have made harvest 2017 a breeze for many have also made for tinder-dry conditions.

For those no longer concerned about the rush of harvest, “We need rain,” seems to be the common MY refrain. It’s easy PERSPECTIVE to see why. As I write this Tuesday morning, we are almost two Kate weeks from the last rain. While Jackman-Atkinson some areas might have enjoyed isolated showers, we have to go back to the beginning of August to find anything resembling significant rainfall. It’s no surprise that heat, combined with drought, has made much of the province unusually dry. By the end of last week, five Westman municipalities had burning bans in place. They’re not the only ones concerned, on Sept 8, Manitoba Sustainable Development and the Office of the Fire Commissioner advised that hot, dry and windy conditions were continuing, resulting in elevated wildfire danger levels in many areas of the province.

Across the province, there have been more than 500 fires this season and at the end of last month, three northern communities needed to be evacuated because of fires. Active and extinguished fires in Manitoba have burned a total area of approximately 160,000 hectares this year.

Despite these conditions, some people have still decided that this is a good time to burn. Mixed among the dust from harvest and the smoke from fires burning elsewhere on the continent, I have recently seen smoke from burning crop residue and have heard of people burning brush. In situations like this, municipalities should be more proactive about implanting burning bans— they can be easily lifted once conditions change, for example, it cools down or rains.

In the province, fires are prohibited between April 1 and Nov. 15 without a permit or unless the fire is in an enclosed, approved fire pit. Regulations do provide for burning of small amounts of straw outside authorized periods, if the straw is immediately impeding field operations such as seeding or tillage. These straw accumulations can result from wind, rain or water, a broken bale, a windrow less than 100 feet long or from stopping equipment. But these areas must be small— no more than three windrows, bales or piles with a combined area of one acre, may be burned at one time.

While the province’s crop residue burning regulations have more to do with concerns over smoke, they do highlight the need for safe burning practices, including adequate fire-guarding and proper supervision. In all but a few cases, the province leaves it up to municipalities to impose burning bans.

I have heard that it can be hard to inform residents about municipal burn bans, but the fact remains that other municipalities, such as North Cypress-Langford, had no problem letting their residents know the day their restrictions were in place. For those municipalities without a reliable method of quickly informing residents, media outlets, including this one, will publish or air press releases for free, there are poster boards at stores and post office and most importantly, residents need to be obtaining permits before burning and if a ban is in place, no permit will be issued.

A burning ban won’t eliminate all risks, lightning will still strike, farm equipment will still catch fire and sparks from hot exhausts will still ignite dry vegetation, but it would help. Burn bans would have no impact on those already playing it safe, but could save a community from disaster.

The rain will come, as will the cold, and then, it will be safe, but for many of us who look out on a sea of brown grass and trees, we just don’t want to see it go up in smoke.

Opinion

SEPTEMBER 15, 2017

Sports stars I highly respect

A

s you read these words, I will be sitting in a bus en route to Minneapolis, Minnesota. My wife and I, along with a family friend, are spending this weekend watching the Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays play baseball.

We’ll be hanging out in the right field bleachers at Target Field. Hopefully, the weather will be nice and the games will be well-played. Since I am a fan of both teams, I will be happy whoever wins; but please don’t tell my wife I said that. She’s a die-hard Blue Jays fan.

The world of professional sports has changed a lot in the last 50 years. The skills required to make it to the big leagues are still the same. But the salaries one can earn are much higher, as are the risks of a career ending or life threatening injury.

That is why John Urschel (26) of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens has abruptly ended his career in professional football. His reasons were simple. He is working on a PhD in Mathematics at Massachusetts Institute

M

iss Daisy, Henry Hoover and I were wa l k i ng down the Trans Canada Trail, the portion just south of the cemetery. To our left was the still gently flowing river, slowed by sundry beaver dams, and a dull green color. Underfoot were crushed acorns, to the right a few chokecherries, glowing burgundy red against the fading foliage. As we rounded the curve, a wave of cool, moist air rose to greet us, and then, a few steps further, out in the open, the air was once again warm and dry. The scents of the fall were rich and intoxicating.

In the west was the beginning of another sunset. Rosy hues and golden streaks, perfection.

It was the cool calm contrasting with the sunlit warmth that took me back, many years back. It was a fall day, not unlike the ones we have been experiencing.

On a whim, no, really it was

FAITHFULLY YOURS

Neil Strohschein

of Technology (MIT). He has a bright future ahead of him in that field and is eager to complete his training, graduate and begin his career. He is also engaged to be married and is awaiting the birth of his first child this coming December.

Urschel’s concern is a common one among NFL and NHL players. Many are fearful of the long term consequences they could suffer thanks to repeated head trauma (a.k.a. concussions). So, even though he admitted that this was the hardest decision he ever made, Urschel said it was the right decision for him and his family; and everyone, from the Ravens’ top management on down, is showing him nothing but the highest amount of respect for making this

decision.

In baseball, the injuries may be different, but they can be just as devastating.

A blister on a finger can put a pitcher on disability list—just ask the Blue Jays’ Aaron Sanchez. Back spasms, pulled or torn muscles, twisted knees and sprained ankles can put a player out of action for weeks, months, an entire season or permanently.

There are no guarantees in professional sports.

So I have a great deal of admiration for those who, after years in minor sports, college sports and the minor professional leagues, finally make it to “The Big Show;” as they like to call playing in the major leagues. I highly respect them for the hours of hard work they put in every day—sharpening

Birds eye view HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen a deep desire to overcome my fear of flying, I asked my beloved if he would arrange for us to take a flight over the Riding Mountains. I believed that the beauty of the fall tapestry would convince me that flying was fun. We had a friend, a retired park warden, that owned a small aircraft and was willing to take us up.

It was a gorgeous autumn day, and the scenery below was all that I imagined.

Rich swathes of wheat and canola, green pasture lands, freshly fallowed fields and mountain greens. Ed was happily up front with the pilot and I was directly behind our gracious host. He

dipped to point out a moose in the field, and I didn’t care to look. He swooped over a village, identifying landmarks, and I didn’t care to look. I quietly suggested that perhaps the turbulence was such that we should return to the airstrip. Both men, thoroughly enjoying themselves, assured me it was perfectly safe and the yo-yo motion was nothing to worry about. I had not taken into consideration the temperature variances of the green fields and the black fields could affect the air flow in the sky.

I must admit that the flight was wonderful. Let me amend that, the views

their skills, studying the game, staying in shape and balancing life as a professional athlete with life at home as a partner, parent, neighbor and friend. And, I applaud them for the many hours of entertainment they provide their loyal fans, of whom I am one.

But those for whom I have the greatest respect are those who use their position and the status it brings to make a positive impact in society. I am always encouraged when I see professional athletes “give back” to the communities that gave so much to them in their formative years. The clinics they conduct in small communities, the visits to hospitals and care homes, the donations to local projects and the charitable foundations they establish will bring hope, help and healing to people long after the stars themselves have ended their professional careers.

These are the people I want my grandchildren to know about; and these are the people whose examples I hope they will follow.

Letters

Federal government goes after credit unions Nice to see that MP Larry Maguire is going to bat for credit unions, “Federal Government goes after credit unions,” Neepawa Banner, August 18, 2017. Mr. Maguire is rightly concerned about the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions ruling that credit unions can no longer call their services “banking.”

But it is a day late and a dollar short for Mr. Maguire.

The real blow to credit unions was delivered by the Harper government in 2013 when they raised their taxes to the same level as banks.

Both of the Conservative MPs who answered my letter used the term “level playing field” to describe this change.

But how can you have a level playing field when some of the players (banks) are allowed to create money, while others (credit unions) are not?

We held out hope that the Trudeau Liberals would reverse this unfair tax when they took office, but they have chose to “go after” the credit unions as well.

“Why the sudden change?” asks Mr. Maguire.

A good answer might be, for both the Trudeau and Harper governments, because the banks asked for it.

These are not the first governments to bend to the wishes of banks. Previous governments have granted them the right to buy up the trusts, brokerage houses, insurance companies, payroll businesses and even car rentals.

It is never a good idea for a government to listen to bankers. They are only looking to enhance their own position, to the detriment of everyone else.

It’s great that Larry Maguire is taking up the cause of credit unions. But he has much more work to do if he is ever able to help them achieve the justice they deserve.

Ken Winters Austin, MB

on the flight were wonderful. I did keep my eyes open, swallowed frequently, and prayed mightily. One part of me was furious with the men for blithely enjoying every minute, and one part of me was envious of the men for blithely enjoying every minute. It was with a sense of relief and receiving a reprieve that I noted we were nearing the airstrip and preparing to land.

The real crunch came when we had safely touched down and the men had completed the tie down procedure, one turned to the other, and calmly stated – “Bit rough up there, wasn’t it?” Wasn’t it! That’s what I suggested minutes into the flight and they had both assured me I was overly concerned! They had the grace to grin conspiratorially as they walked to the car.

With one evening walk, I recaptured the laughter of years gone by.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin ave you ever tried to kill a grasshopper? This week, I tried to step on one who was resting on my pathway to the house. Each time I tried to end its life the thing jumped just far enough away that I had to take another step to try it again. It made me smile to think that this grasshopper was pretty smart. It makes me smile when I see the happiness my little dog expresses when I come in the house and even more so when I grab the lease and we go for our daily walk.

A smile can brighten our day. Just think when baby gave you the first smile. So very precious. I think of Grandpa’s smile when told that his granddaughter was combining. It was unique. People in care facilities smile when they hear the familiar hymn played and sung that they learned so many years ago in Sunday school.

Smiles are uplifting, giving us joy inside our being, even for a moment.

Let us catch these moments and feel the pleasure and delight that a smile can bring to our hearts.

Plans are underway for the DIVAS coming to Gladstone Langruth Harvest Festival Submitted The Neepawa Banner

Submitted The Neepawa Banner

Plans for the second annual Harvest Festival in Langruth are well underway. The festival will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23 and will run from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. With an overwhelming response to last year’s event, the committee has continued to build on the fall themed celebration with added events and activities. As a special treat, this year’s festival will also be a celebration of Canada 150.

Everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to leave their mark on the Canada 150 billboard and test their knowledge with the Canada 150 trivia questions. After singing O Canada, a Canada 150 cake will be served.

Throughout the day the cultures and traditions that make up our local area will be highlighted.

All the favorite activities from last year’s festival will be back with a number of new and exciting things to do and enjoy. Along with a number of fall

themed carnival games and old fashioned kids races, the large round hay bale climbing structure was a great hit. Once again, the horse drawn wagon will be available for a relaxing ride through the country.

Animal lovers won’t want to miss seeing the new line up of animals at the small animal farm.

The Harvest Festival is honoured to showcase various local musicians throughout the day. Talented performers from Langruth and surrounding communities will take the festival stage performing their various repertoires.

A schedule of the performances will be available closer to the date of the festival.

The Escape Room is sure to be enticing as those who are up to the challenge find clues and solve puzzles in an attempt to escape. During the Amazing Race teams of two to four players will attempt to complete a series of challenges in the shortest amount of time and become the winner of the Harvest Festival Amazing Race.

We are looking forward

Vancouver performer Bonnie Kilroe is bringing her musical comedy impersonation show DIVAS: Vegas meets Vaudeville to Gladstone on Sept. 29 at the Legion.

Fresh from Orlando, Florida, at the Sunburst convention for Professional Celebrity Impersonators, Bonnie was inducted into the Hall of Fame for most unique act and won an award for gold showcase judged by local agents.

The vocals of Streisand, the comedy of Lucy and the charisma of Marilyn!

This award winning show combines vaudev illian comedy with singing and spectacular costumes, creating a powerful parade of fun and parody.

Divas: Vegas meets Vaudeville is a 100 minute musical comedy celebrity impersonation show featuring 20 iconic singers, actresses and entertainers from the past (Mae West, Marilyn Monroe), through legends with timeless appeal (Cher, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, Ma-

donna, Reba McEntire, Tina Turner), to stars of the present (Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Shakira).

Bonnie has performed Divas to audiences all over the world over the last 15 years. From small fundraisers in towns across Canada, to large theatre shows and casinos throughout North America and as a guest entertainer on cruise ships on most of the world’s seas.

This is a show that appeals to a wide demographic. Throughout the show, Bonnie uses her improvisa-

tional skills as a performer to encourage audience participation, which adds an extra element of novelty and surprise. Unlike other multi-celebrity impersonation shows, she performs all of the voices, speaking and singing, live. There is no lip-synching here!

It will be an excellent night out full of laughs and you may end up on stage with Marilyn Monroe, Tina Turner or Cher!

Bonnie is excited to bring her biggest show to the Gladstone Legion.

Flags

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.

PHOTO FROM THE NEEPAWA PRESS ARCHIVES

The official dedication marking the move of the Stoney Creek school to its new home at Riverbend Park was held as a part of the 1967 centennial celebrations.

Over the years Canada had been using flags, most of which reflected Canada’s British Heritage. The old flag no longer reflected Canada’s place in the world, and Pearson believed a new flag would help unite French and English Canada with truly Canadian symbols. On January 28, 1965, the National Flag of Canada, the current maple leaf flag was adopted and was for the most part, embraced by the public. In 1967 Canada welcomes the world to Montreal to help celebrate its birthday and what a party! Considered to be the most successful World’s Fair of the 20th century with 62 nations participating. Expo 67 showcased cutting-edge design, art, architecture, technology, and culture from around the world. Expo had over 50 million paid admissions when at the time Canada had 20 million people. Communities around Canada celebrated with parades, parties, publishing history books and many other Centennial projects. Neepawa celebrated for a whole week with such events as: the grand opening of East View Lodge, Centennial parade, “Home-Coming Ball” and the “Picnic of the Century” with a dedication of Stoney Creek school and many more events. The surrounding communities celebrated as well. The song I remember singing that year was written by Bobby Gimby, a commercial jingle writer who composed the popular tune “Ca-na-da” sometimes called The Centennial Song.

50’s casseroles were old and boring. The 60s liked showy, difficult and time consuming to make food with French influence, fondues, backyard barbecues, vegetarian recipes, ethnic cuisine and flaming things such as fondues and Steak Diane.

McCreary Home Routes Concert Submitted The Neepawa Banner Rooted in the prairies of Manitoba, Spruce and the Meadowlark deliver a fresh take on contemporary bluegrass. The combination of complex driving instrumentals and haunting melodic lyrics help to create a new perspective on the marriage of folk and bluegrass. Aisha Belle (violin, guitar) and Donovan Locken (mandolin, guitar) invoke emotion with thoughtful orchestration and dynamic harmonious vocals. Offering a familiar sound that takes the listener on a journey to new places.

Spruce and the Meadowlark deliver original modern bluegrass written by long time musicians, and soulmates, Aisha Belle and Donovan Locken. Aisha’s haunting voice has been compared to Joy Williams of the Civil Wars, the combination of complex driving instrumentals and evocative melodic lyrics create a new perspective on the marriage of folk and bluegrass. With

help from producer Lloyd Peterson ( JP Hoe) Spruce and the Meadowlark will release their much anticipated debut album fall of 2017. On September 28, they will be coming to McCreary for a Home Routes concert.

Drawn together by the sounds of f iddle tunes drifting through the dark campground of the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Aisha and Donovan spent five hours playing music together. With barely any words being shared the two said goodbye. After a year apart, music brought them together again, this time on

Redferns receives recognition

By Sheila Runions The Rivers Banner

It was 45 years ago (Oct. 1, 1972) that Ray Redfern moved from Red Deer, Alta to Rivers. The territory agronomy manager with Imperial Oil came here to return to his roots — he was raised in Harding — and to purchase the Imperial Oil Bulk Sales location from Fred Taylor.

This depot was part of the Taylor and Son Limited business conglomerate and was started in 1920

by Fred’s father John. Ray converted the bulk sales operation to an agricultural retailer and renamed the company Redfern Farm Services. In the years since, he has grown his business to now include 11 locations in southwestern Manitoba: Brandon, Carberry, Hami-

ota, Hartney, Kenton, Minnedosa, Neepawa, Rivers, Shoal Lake, Souris and Virden. The franchise employs more than 80 regular staff; during peak seasons, when additional workers are hired, there are as many as 125 pay stubs issued.

According to their website, “Redferns provides the widest industry selection of seed, fertilizers and crop protection products to customers. Custom application services, field product deliveries, fertilizer application equipment rentals, along with comprehensive soil testing programs, agronomy support and product recommendations, are all provided by our professionals. Our sales and agronomy staff offer unbiased advice to assist our grower partners in producing the most profitable high-yielding crops

possible. We work alongside producers, not just selling them products. By focusing on the individual needs of our many customers’ and their operations, our team shows their commitment to our farmer partners to provide them solutions with informed, ethical recommendations.”

It may be because of these statements that the business was short-listed in late August as a finalist for the 34th annual Manitoba Chamber of Commerce awards. There are f ive categories, each with three semi-finalists; of those 15 nominations, all but four are from Winnipeg. The Redfern nod falls under the Outstanding Medium Business, in which they compete against Norima Consulting Inc. and Shindico Realty Ltd. It will not be known

until Friday, Oct. 27 if Redfern can claim the prize; winners will be announced at a gala banquet at Canad Inns, Polo Park.

M a n it o b a B u s i ne s s Awards are presented by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries and 10 other partners. They were established in 1983 to recognize and celebrate outstanding businesses and individual achievements by the Manitoba business community.

Awards are presented based on successful employee relations, sustainable growth and community development.

Redfern Farm Services certainly supports community development. In the years Ray lived in Rivers (1972-2000), he personally joined several economic/ industrial development boards and his company

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2017

has provided immeasurable financial support to an unknown number of community causes during nearly 50 years. Ray has ensured that his staff share his passion for supporting their towns; “staff are deeply involved in the communities they serve and in which they reside. Redfern’s provides ongoing support to numerous large community projects, as well as many service clubs.” Indeed, likely their most significant donation here was to Rivers Recreation Facilities Review Committee, when the company bought naming rights in Riverdale Community Centre; Redfern Hall is the large meeting room on the second storey of that complex.

Headstones get some TLC

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner It’s been a busy summer for headstone refurbisher Toby Dagg, but among his paid projects has been some volunteer work. Last month, Dagg donated some time to clean and straighten military head stones at the Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa.

Unlike in previous years, this summer, the veterans’ graves at the north end of the cemetery weren’t adorned with flowers. “They might not have flowers, but at least they can be clean,” said Dagg of the project. Dagg

had been at the Neepawa cemetery finishing a job for a customer, when he decided to give back and clean the military stones as well, “I had all my equipment.” He removed the moss from the stones and cleaned them up, saying, “They need more respect.”

In total, Dagg cleaned about 18 stones. Unfortunately, without grass or crushed rock at the base, the stones were covered by mud splashing up from the uncovered dirt during the first post-cleaning rain.

In addition to his work in Neepawa, Dagg has also been kept busy around the region. This year, in addition smaller projects, he’s cleaned 33 stones in Gladstone, as well as the memorial statue located on the main street in MacGregor and the cenotaph in Basswood. While a headstone may take 45 minutes to an hour to clean, larger projects can take six or more hours to complete. “I like to clean around my work, like the edging… [I like to] make it look like an angel dropped the monument there,” he said.

This summer has been a busy one for Toby Dagg. He recently restored this headstone in Sandy Lake. Dagg also recently donated his time and talents to restore 18 military headstones at Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa.

Natives prospects shine in pre-season

Former Natives goalie commits to U of C

Jordan Martin scores in the second period on Saturday, Sept. 9 against the Waywayseecappo Wolverines.

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner A few Neepawa Natives prospects are starting to separate themselves from the pack during the MJHL exhibition season. As part of the first two games of the pre-season, the organization has focused upon playing mostly younger players. The first game saw the Waywayseecappo Wolverines claim the 7-4 win on Friday, Sept. 8 at the Wayway Arena Complex.

Returning players Justin Metcalf, Zachary Johnson and Riley Vautour all contributed on the scoresheet with goals, while prospect Campbell Balk also added a goal.

The following night, Neepawa returned home to

host the Wolverines at the Yellowhead Centre. This second game once again featured a lineup mainly composed of younger names. 18-year-old Brett Namaka was the driving force for Neepawa on this night, scoring three goals in regulation and adding another in the shootout. It would be returning player, Noah Carson, however, who would be credited with the game winning goal in the ninth round of the shootout, to secure the 7-6 win. Jordan Martin, Jesse Gibbons and Campbell Balk all scored singles during the game for the Natives.

Neepawa returned to the grind of exhibition play, with a trip to Dauphin on Tuesday, Sept. 12. For this

third pre-season game, the Natives coaches began to shift more returning players into the roster. The end result was a solid 3-2 victory over the Kings.

Breaden Binda registered a goal and assist, while Ashton Anderson and Lewis Negrich secured the other goals for Neepawa. Goaltender Evan Robert played the full 60 minutes between the pipes for the Natives, stopping 41 of the 43 shots he faced in regulation.

Neepawa’s pre-season concludes on Saturday, Sept. 16 in Winkler against the Flyers. The regular season will start on Friday, Sept. 22, when the Natives host Winkler at the Yellowhead Centre. Start time is scheduled for 7:30 pm.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2017

Former Neepawa Natives goaltender Tyler Gutenberg is heading west for his next foray between the pipes. The Manitoba Junior Hockey League announced on Friday, Sept. 8, via online media release, that the 20-year-old has committed to the University of Calgary Dinos of USports – Canada West University Athletic Association, for the 2017-2018 season.

Gutenberg, who was acquired by Neepawa during the 2015-2016 season, said in the press release, that he was thankful for the support the junior ‘A’ club was able to provide, as he pursued his college goal.

“Neepawa truly is a f irst class organization, and without all of the people that help make it that special this opportunity for myself would not have been possible. Last season was amazing seeing the community come together in our playoff run, and just really getting behind the team all year to give us the confidence to succeed,” stated Gutenberg.

The commitment is later than usual on the calendar, as coaches with the U of C only contacted his former club, the Neepawa Natives five weeks ago, in order to review Gutenberg’s game video.

Natives head coach Dustin Howden said the organization was quick to assist one of their alumni in advance of both their on-ice and scholastic pursuits.

“Calgary had interest in Tyler earlier this year. Then, recently, some plans changed within their program so they came to us and we were more than happy to share our information with the [University of Calgary]” said Howden. “[Gutenberg] was always a hard worker for us on the ice and a great representative for the club off of it. Calgary is a very good program, which will provide him with a well deserved chance to go after his post-secondary dreams.”

Gutenberg played in 35 regular season games for the Natives last year, posting a 3.31 goals-against average, along with a .903 save percentage. During the playoffs, his numbers improved to a 2.50 goals-against, with a .927 save percentage.

Sunflower Classic continues to grow

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

A dominant round from a pair of Brandon golfers has ensured that this year’s edition of the Sunf lower Classic golf title will reside within the Wheat City.

The duo of Judy Prange and Jayne Troop scored a combined 88 points on Saturday, Sept. 9 to top the field of over 100 competitors. The event, which was hosted at the Neepawa Golf and Country Club, was scored under the net stableford scoring format.

Stableford consists of players scoring one point for a bogey, two for par, three for a birdie, four for an eagle and five for an albatross. The team with the most accumulated points after 18 holes wins. Prange and Troops’ 88 points was four better than the second place team of Janet Wilcox McKay and Helen Forsyth.

After the event, Prange noted that herself and Troop have competed in the Sunf lower for several years, finishing third in

“I don’t recall as many teams involved in previous years, as there where [this year]. On top of that, there were many very good players out there.

On Sept. 7, volunteers and local businesses helped harvest the canola crop at the Airport Farm Project.

Proceeds from the annual harvest are split between the Yellowhead Centre and the Neepawa Curling Club. For this year’s harvest, Enns Brothers provided the combines and tractor, TIC donated the use of a Brandt Grain cart and Fiskel Farms, Foggy Mountain Farms and Cavelock Farms donated trucks. The value of the crop wasn’t known as of press time.

Rick Sparling looking for photos

I’m looking for help finding photos of three bowling/ billiard places that were frequented by many in the mid ‘50s to mid ‘60s. These are places where I have no photos for the book I’m currently working on “The History of Neepawa Businesses.”

In particular, I’m looking for photos of three places: • Bruce Pedlar ran a billiards room and a bowling alley where Home Hardware sits today • Tom & Alex Hyra had Regent Bowling & Billiards in the location where Tim Tom Asian Foods and the dentist office are currently.

• “Hong Kong Billiards”, which was the next building west of the Royal Café (Lees) on Hamilton I wondered if any readers might happen to have a photo of these places, exterior or interior?

If so, could they be taken to the Courthouse in the basement to the Archives office there between 9:00 a.m. and noon on any Friday and they could be scanned there.

Obituary Gregory “Harry” Finkewich January 28, 1911 August 27, 2017 Peacefully, Gregory Finkewich of Glenella, MB, passed away on August 27, 2017, at the age of 106 years and 7 months, at Country Meadows in Neeapwa, MB. He was born and grew up in Derewyne, Ukraine and married Katherine Yacenya in 1928. They came to Canada in 1939 and settled in Alonsa, MB. Dad left to find work in Alonsa, Glenella, Waldersee and Portage la Prairie. After being a hired farm hand, they rented land near Glenella for two years. With a passion for country living and farm life, he bought a quarter of land south of Glenella. He farmed grain until he was 90 and looked after cattle till 97. He was very proud of every piece of machinery he bought – new or second hand – all by cash or cheques.

He enjoyed visits with everyone who stopped by – family and friends alike. He enjoyed “coffee time” in town so he could visit his friends. His amazing stories will be missed. He was in good health until 103. In December 2014 he went to the Neepawa Hospital and was moved to Country Meadows in May 2015.

Gregory is survived by his daughters: Sophia Plantz of Collinsville, USA and Olga Duncan of Glenella; grandchildren: Vince Plantz, Sandy Christiensen, Fae Cisyk, Glenda Finkewich; great granddaughter in law Sherri Duncan (friend John Stutsky); daughter in law Laura Mitchler; great grandchildren Kayla Grubbs, Holly and Drew Plantz, Kaitlyn and Bryce Cisyk, Derek, Devon and Ryan Benson.

He was predeceased by his wife, Katherine; son Tony; grandson Clayton Duncan; sons in law, Terry Duncan and Jim Plantz, and a brother and two sisters in Ukraine.

A special thank you goes out to Clarke’s Funeral Home, for their care and compassion, as well to the Glenella United Church ladies for the lovely lunch.

Memorial Service will be held on Friday, September 8, 2017 at 2:00 pm at the Glenella Hall with Rita Friesen officiating. Interment will follow at the Goodland Cemetery.

If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to Country Meadows Personal Care Home or a charity of one’s choice.

Rest in Peace, Dad. It’s well earned.

Five year old Alexis Andreychuk lives with her parents, Ryan and Toni and her brother Noah in Erickson.

She was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) also known as Verbal Dyspraxia. Apraxia is a motor planning disorder of speech where her brain and mouth work fine, but the connection between the two when forming the simplest of speech patterns are lost. Alexis is benefitting from a type of speech therapy known as PROMPT therapy, which uses specific techniques to aid or prompt the mouth and its structures to articulate speech patterns. The nearest specially trained therapist operates in Saskatchewan.

Brandon’s Downtown Cruise Night

By Micah Waddell The Neepawa Banner

During the summer, car shows are a frequent occurrence in Brandon Manitoba. When the city shuts down Rosser Avenue from 6th Street to 13th Street, the last Thursday of every month, Downtown Cruise Night runs from 6pm until 9pm. It is a welcome sight for car enthusiasts in the Westman area. Cruise Night [presented by Brandon & Area Car Enthusiasts (B.A.C.E.)] is an event that has been going on for a number of years. It gives the opportunity for locals to showcase their passion in the community and show off their personal rides.

The vehicles brought to this car show vary greatly, modern modified “tuners”, rare collector pieces, motorcycles, and even

lifted trucks. With no age or category restrictions all are welcome at this event.

If you have questions about vehicle modification, or restoration, Downtown Cruise Night is the place to be. All of the owners who come to the event have plenty of insight and knowledge on the subject. Whether you are just starting to get into the car community or are looking to return, Cruise Night is a good place to start. There are food trucks and stands along the stretch of street for those who get hungry, people are free to walk and look at all the vehicles. Just a friendly reminder though, look but don’t touch, these personalized works of art.

Although Sept. 7, was the last one for this year, don’t worry the beautiful vehicles will return next year.
