Salvation Army is on the move

By Eoin Devereux

NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

After years of numerous starts and stops, Neepawa’s Salvation Army is ready to go with its relocation. The charitable organization’s thrift store will be moved out of its existing location at 309 Davidson, into a new space within the former Coop building, by the end of the month.

The new space, located on Mountain Avenue, is 6,000 square feet (sq. ft.), with 3,000 sq. ft. exclusively earmarked for retail space, 1,300 sq. ft., more than their current location. The new location will also offer an improved sorting and delivery area, food bank area, change rooms, office space, as well as a staff and board room.

Neepawa and area Salvation A rmy manager Amanda Naughton-Gale said that reaching this point in the process has been a long time coming.

now, since it was decided that we needed a bigger space. The operations were growing and just didn’t have the space for the amount of donations that were coming in,” stated Naughton-Gale.

“The process has taken a fair bit of time. It’s really difficult when you are looking at purchasing a portion of a building. So, that type of legal stuff has taken the most amount of time, but it is

important to ensure all that is settled and all sides know exactly what’s required.

We’re past that now and we’re ready to settle into our new space.”

With the process of re-

Last week was animal health week and the Neepawa Vet Clinic gave the public an opportunity to experience the inner workings of the facility. Clinic staff Dr. Rhian, Dr. Liz, Cathy, Jordan and Sherry were proud to show off some of their new equipment and tools, including a brand new dental X-ray machine to make sure your furry friends have high quality pearly whites. They also have a new anesthetic machine, a new digital full body X-ray and other equipment, including an ultrasound machine and a hydraulic cattle chute.

The Neepawa Vet Clinic is the only veterinary practice in Neepawa that treats animals of all types and sizes. The clinic doubles as the Neepawa and area pound and animal shelter. The open house was also a chance to let people know about the animals they currently have available for adoption. While there is only one dog up for adoption at the moment, there is a myriad of cats in need of a good home. The clinic spays and neuters any cats before they go for adoption, as well as giving them their shots.

Entrepreneurship event helps kick start rural businesses NEEPAWA PRESS R0011063026

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

Big ideas can grow from small towns and this year, three communities have partnered to help rural entrepreneurs launch their ideas. This year marks the third instalment of What’s the Big Idea, a unique event aimed at helping local entrepreneurs take their idea to the next level.

Originally organized by the Economic Development offices in Neepawa and Minnedosa, this year will see a new partner, the Economic Development office of the Town of Carberry and the Municipality of North Cypress-Langford is joining the event. The event is open to new or expanding businesses in the area.

The event includes not only educational seminars, but also the chance for entrepreneurs to pitch their idea to a “Dragon’s Den” style panel of judges. Not only do the entrepreneurs have the chance to win over $40,000 in cash and prizes, they also get valuable feedback about their idea from industry experts. The event also helps the greater business community. “It gets the community talking about entrepreneurship,” said Town of Neepawa EDO Marilyn Crewe.

Crewe said that What’s the Big Idea can help serve as a focal point for entrepreneurs thinking about growing or establishing their business, it gives them

something to work towards. Crewe, for example, has been working with one entrepreneur who first contacted her last winter with the early stages of an idea.

The event itself is also a great resource, “The pitch parlour gives validation to their idea and feedback,” said Crewe. With a goal of success, the EDOs will work with the entrepreneurs, helping them refine their idea and practice their pitch in advance of the event. “It’s not difficult,” said Crewe, explaining that they will help walk through all of the necessary steps prior to the event.

In its first two years, the event has been extremely successful, three new businesses opened following the 2015 edition, while four new businesses were launched following 2016’s event. Organizers are hoping that this year’s event will continue to spur entrepreneurship in the region.

When a golfer’s alignment is off

Watching players practice on tv during the last major the PGA Championship I was relieved to witness the best players in the world working on the very same thing we as teachers work on with amateur golfers.

The common 17102gmg denominator: alignment. When a golfer’s alignment is off it’s no different when your car’s tires are misaligned. You are going to fight going in the right direction. Get your game on track when you set up parallel to your target. Simply set up like you were on a rail road track - feet, hips shoulders square along the back rail and the club head square with the other rail. This will allow the ball to start on the correct path.

For tips like these or help with your game contact your local CPGA Golf Professional Landon Cameron.

Myths and movements

T

here are many myths out there and unfortunately, they often generate a movement with steadfast followers.

Myth #1: Tommy Douglas was the father of Canadian Medicare.

No, he wasn’t. Matt Anderson, from Bulyea, Saskatchewan, was the father of medicare. Canadian medicare did have its Canadian start in Saskatchewan in 1938 and was adopted by Douglas some 20 years later.

Myth #2: Medicare covers all medical costs and situations.

No, even Tommy Douglas’ adoption of medicare didn’t cover all medical costs, far from it. And no, today, far from all medical costs are covered by Canadian medicare.

Myth #3: If the government pays for it, it is free.

No, if the government pays for it, it is not free, it comes from all our pockets and often at a much higher rate than if the service was delivered by a private person or company.

Myth #4: Governments have cut expenses to the bone and can’t cut any more.

No, Governments haven’t cut to the bone yet and likely never will. In the province of Manitoba, where there are 14,000 provincial civil servants on the public payroll, plus workers at Crown corporations, plus health care workers, plus workers at all levels of education, from day care to university.

A government will likely never get enough sympathy or votes to actually cut expenses to the bone.

Myth #5: You have to have a university degree to________!

You fill in the blank. The list now includes a dizzying array of jobs from day care worker, to teacher, to accountant and the list goes on.

Basically, our society worships a neepawa

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell bit too much at the alter of education. Many people today have invested huge amounts of money into 20 per cent of the cost of a university degree and while education is light to carry around, it may not have equipped them to get a meaningful job. And please note, I said 20 per cent of the cost.

Our tax dollars have paid for 80 per cent of every university degree out there, whether it resulted in a good job or not.

Myth #6: The housing crisis will be solved if we have more public housing.

No, it won’t. The housing industry has been geared to building bigger and more expensive houses because that is where the profits are. The real need is for modest and affordable housing. A tour of any town or city in Canada will show that housing growth has largely been in the “mortgage heights” sections of town.

There is no real way of curbing the material, labour and land resources going into expensive high end housing and directing it to more affordable housing. Well, there may be a way, but it would mean putting punitive taxes on the higher end housing or putting huge incentives on lower end housing so builders could actually make a profit on so-called affordable housing.

Myth #7: The government has control of housing regulations.

Partly true, but not totally true.

The government makes rules about zoning and building codes liberally across the industry, but they do little to enforce housing rules, especially in existing housing. There is almost no control on over-crowding, illegal renovations and safety violations in housing, be it public or private. A town or city cannot even conduct random fire inspections on housing, which seems ridiculous, given that many communities suffer from some over-crowding and some run down housing stock.

Myth #8: If we only had a higher minimum wage, poor people and students would be better off.

No, raising the minimum wage destroys jobs. Employers cut back on hours of operation and employee’s hours. Employers are very reluctant to hire green student workers as they can hire an experienced adult for the same wages. Minimum wages need to rise slowly and there needs to be a student, entry level wage rate.

The overall answer: If we can bust some of the myths about public spending, perhaps we will achieve greater economic growth.

The only way to make real progress is to apply the truth to any problem.

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell

hen you think about all of the businesses that meet your daily needs– your hardware store, your grocery store, your mechanic shop, your restaurant or your hair dresser, chances are almost all of MY them are small b u s i n e s s e s . PERSPECTIVE Each day, millions of small business owners wake up and get Kate to work, doing Jackman-Atkinson the heavy lifting of driving Canada’s economy. They are important to their customers and their employees, but most of them work away in relative obscurity; they don’t get the national attention, or government dollars, of their big business cousins. Their importance is vastly underestimated.

A small business is one with fewer than 100 employees and there are more than 1.3 million of them in Canada. In fact, about 98 per cent of Canada’s businesses fall into this category.

Only 1.8 per cent of Canadian businesses have between 100 and 499 employees and the tiny remainder (0.3 per cent), have more than 500 employees.

In rural communities in particular, it’s impossible to overstate the importance of the entrepreneur— if it weren’t for small businesses, we would have almost no local businesses.

Small businesses dominate the industries that keep rural communities viable. For example, Statistics Canada reports that of the 47,397 businesses in the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting sector, 47,121 of them are small.

It isn’t just that small businesses supply us with the products and services we need, they also provide jobs to ourselves, our friends and our neighbours. Out of every 10 Canadians working in the private sector, nine of them work for a small or medium sized business. If we want to talk about employment growth and opportunities for Canadians, small businesses play a key role and will continue to do so going forward.

Not only are small businesses the backbone of Canadian employment, they will be vital to our future. The output of small and medium businesses account for 41 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product and as larger operations tend to plateau into a static and stable status, it’s the smaller operations that are, in general, providing faster-paced growth.

Whether driven by need or desire, entrepreneurs are passionate about their creation and moving it forward. It’s that passion which drives them to innovate and their more flexible nature allows this to happen. In an uncertain business climate, characterized by rapid change, we need to be encouraging and supporting those businesses that can better adapt and meet the changing needs of consumers. Those nimble structures are only going to become more important.

Entrepreneurs and their work needs to be better recognized and celebrated. Small Business Week, which takes place Oct 15 to 21, is one way to not only recognize the contributions of small businesses, but also provide some education and networking opportunities for their owners. Talking to others with similar experiences can help entrepreneurs overcome the challenges they are facing or see opportunities that could be developed and help their business grow. In other words, it can help them take their business to the next level, something that’s in everyone’s best interest.

Next week, as you go about your daily business, be sure to think about the entrepreneurs who have made this possible. Even if for a week a year, it’s time to really celebrate the small businesses that make our communities whole.

Answering Powell’s points

arry Powell’s letter requesting “ further explanation” of opinions expressed in “A Christian Response to Natural Disaster” raised some very valid points.

He concluded his letter by asking if I would respond to his questions in a future column.

Well, here goes. It may take two or three columns, but I will do my best to answer them.

First, he asked why I didn’t make any reference to climate change in the column. Because I get very angry with people who use natural disasters like hurricanes, or horrible tragedies like the Las Vegas shooting as springboards from which to launch a verbal or written tirade on their favorite political or social issue. So I am not about to do something that angers me when I see someone else doing it.

My focus was on the victims. My inspiration was those who responded like one firm in Quebec did recently. They collected large amounts of lumber and other emergency supplies, packed them in shipping containers and sent them

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein to Puerto Rico and the southern United States; all at the company’s expense.

I wanted to encourage my readers to do what they could to help the victims of these disasters; and I hope I was able to do that.

That being said, I need to answer his query about my personal views on climate change. My views are not defined by any faith community. I am familiar with the positions taken by some church denominations; but these views are “my” views—and come from more than 40 years of listening to comments, personal observation and reflection.

The “facts” of climate change cannot be disputed. Global warming is a problem that we’ve known about for years but have not significantly addressed until recently. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa. gov) has an excellent series

of articles documenting the types of greenhouse gasses being emitted into the atmosphere, their sources and what can be done to reduce them. The writers of these articles present the facts in a fair and unbiased manner; using the best scientific research and the most current data available.

But agencies like the EPA (and its Canadian equivalent) are severely limited in what they can do to address environmental issues because the policies they enforce are enacted by politicians. And politicians often appear to pay more attention to popularity polls and pressure groups than they do to those who have sound data to share and practical solutions to offer.

I am all for measures that will help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

But I don’t expect to see any significant reductions from the transportation

and agricultural sectors (the two biggest sources of them, according to the EPA) any time soon; at least not in rural Canada.

Our existence is directly linked to fossil fuels. We do not have access to public transportation. Many of us must drive to work and drive as part of our work. Over 90 per cent of the goods in Manitoba are transported by truck. Our farm equipment runs on diesel fuel.

Many of our homes are heated by oil, propane or natural gas. Few affordable alternatives are available to us.

I am prepared to be part of a transition to a renewable energy economy. But this transition must be a just transition—one that does not impose excessive restrictions or high taxes on those whose livelihoods depend on fossil fuels without first offering them alternatives that they can afford.

Science is leading the way. Government, industry and the general public must follow.

Next week—answering questions on faith and the power of prayer.

Much delight in the everyday

L

ooking for an easy read before drifting off to sleep, I selected “Roughing It in the Bush”,

by Susanne Moodie. The opening page is simply titled – Advertisement– and it explains that “Though known as an authoress in Canada, and a member of a family which has enriched English literature with works of very high popularity”, the writer is still resident in the far-west of Canada.

The book was first published in 1852, and recounts the trials and testing that gentry from England suffered in settling Canada.

It is well written and certainly thought provoking.

So much of today is taken for granted. Cholera was sweeping the settlements, discrimination was open; serving persons did not sit and eat with the family, even in a small log home. And travel was tedious. Whether by land or by sea.

Mrs. Moodie was well

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen educated, accustomed to fine dining, music, poetry and writing. To travel with a babe into the unknown to be a just and loyal wife was her call. One paragraph half way through the book was marked, and so it was here that I began to read.

The theory is that if I like the middle and the end of a book, it is worth reading all through. I borrowed the book from my daughter for it met my criteria.

“We found that manual toil, however distasteful to those unaccustomed to it, was not after all such a dreadful hardship; that the wilderness was not without its rose, the hard face of poverty without its smile.

If we occasionally suffered

severe pain, we as often experienced great pleasure, and I have contemplated a well-hoed ridge of potatoes on that bush farm, with as much delight as in years long past I had experienced in examining a fine painting in some well-appointed drawing-room.”

I have a deep appreciation for manual toil. It has provided me with ample time for deep contemplation.

Whether punching down bread dough, shoveling the eye-watering chicken manure, chopping wood or stacking bales, my thoughts were free to wander and explore life.

As a child, I worked with my father and it was common to work hard, stop and

think hard. And get back to work. As a young girl, I was posed with questions as to my opinion on faith topics, politics and family dynamics. Great introductions to problem solving and walking softly.

I worked side by side with my partner for 40 years.

There was satisfaction with crops grown and harvested, homes purchased and inhabited, families raised.

Used some of my problem solving and walking softly skills! And learned more about myself in the process. I have worked with youth– my children and others. There is satisfaction with the use of gentle words and leading by example. More use of early lessons and more learning about myself!

I understand the beauty in a job well done. I appreciate the beauty of a great work of art. There is as much delight in the everyday as anywhere.

It is indeed, in the eye of the beholder.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin here can I go for a holiday? Where is it safe?

A nice warm part of this world to relax would be great, but is it safe there? Even staying at home can be risky. How can we know we are safe when we stay at home and hide in our familiar surroundings?

Before I think any further the hymn by Ira D. Sankey comes to mind “ The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide, A Shelter in the time of storm.” There are many storms in the world.

It does not matter where we go, but anywhere with Jesus we can safely go. When we know Jesus in a personal way and he is our Rock, it does not matter where we go, or if we stay home, because we know that we are on the Lord’s side and He will take care of us. Then we can be assured that in the end we will be “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” by Fanny Crosby.

Deuteronomy 33:27 tells us that “God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” We need to put our trust in God.

Robbers going to new heights

By Ken Waddell Neepawa Banner & Press

It seems thieves will go to great heights to accomplish their goals. A few weeks ago, the Gladstone Legion clubroom was victimized by robbers. The thieves climbed onto the Legion roof, broke through the roof, through the insulation and ceiling and into the actual clubroom.

Prior to entering the building, they cut the alarm wires.

Once inside, they stole the security cameras and about

17102LL0

$35 in cash. They attempted to break into the safe, but were unsuccessful. They damaged some cupboards, but strangely enough, did not steal any liquor.

Chicken Delight at Neepawa was broken in a similar manner, with thieves going in through the roof, and a quantity of cash stolen.

Spruce Plains RCMP sergeant Mark Morehouse said at press time that there were no suspects yet, but the cases are still under investigation.

Manitoba Rural Women’s Day to focus on mental health

By Miranda Leybourne Neepawa Banner & Press

For the second year in a row, the Manitoba Women’s Institute (MWI) is hosting Manitoba Rural Women’s Day, and this year’s theme is all about how a healthy mind is one of the greatest treasures a woman can have.

The MWI is a group, with branches throughout Manitoba. They work within rural communities, on a national scale, through the Federated Women’s Institute of Canada, and internationally, through the Associated Country Women of the World, as advocates for women, families and communities.

This year’s event is scheduled to take place on Sat., Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. to

4 p.m. at the Minnedosa Community Conference Centre and in Komarno at the community centre on Oct. 28. Speakers Elaine Froese, Keith MacPherson and Vicki Olatundun will be sharing ideas about mental health and wellness.

Deb Melosky is the chair of the planning committee for Manitoba Rural Women’s Day. She says it’s meant as a time for rural women to meet, learn and socialize with each other.

In addition to the three speakers, there will be three fireside chat participants who will share their personal and professional experience with mental health and wellness.

“The topic for this year is ‘Mental Health and Wellness’ with the theme of ‘A Healthy Mind is a Treasure

to Find’,” Melosky explains, There will also be display tables from organizations who are involved in this topic, [such as] K linic Community Health, the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (AFM), the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba, Tradit ional Medicines and the Aurora Recovery Centre. The day also includes refreshment, lunch and door prizes.

Melosky says there will also be a WMI display for anyone interested in getting more information on the organization.

Melosky goes on to say that the theme of mental health and wellness was chosen this year based on feedback from the previous Manitoba Rural Women’s Day and in response to surveys of rural women.

Langruth Harvest Festival celebrations

Neepawa Banner & Press

A large crowd enjoyed the fall themed activities at the second annual Langruth Harvest Festival, on Sept.

23 at the Langruth Skating Rink. This year’s festival was also a celebration of Canada 150. After singing ‘O Canada’, the Canada 150 cake was served. Everyone had the opportunity to sign the Canada 150 billboard and test their knowledge with the Canada 150 trivia questions.

The billboard will be hung inside the arena and will be a wonderful keepsake of the celebration.

The festival included last year’s favourite activities along with lots of new events. The escape room was an adventure game in which a team of people found clues and solved puzzles to complete a given mission within a 15 minute time period. Don and Shirley’s Small Animal Farm was located next to the large round bale climbing structure. Children spent lots of time climbing the bales and then visiting with the various animals. Throughout the day, live music filled the arena. Heather Jean Jordan hosted a great line-up of talented performers from Langruth and surrounding communities. Performers included Darcy and Jenna Mancheese, Kris and Kelly Egilson, Jason Starr, Azaria Neuschwander, James Patterson, Kevin Johnson, Hanna and Linsey Sollner and Heather Jean Jordan.

Interactive displays The Harvest Festival welcomed Manitoba Farm Safety, Important Bird Areas, Southern Health – Public Health, Manitoba 4-H, Manitoba Agriculture & Rural Initiatives, Lakeview Fire Department and the RCMP to the festival with their interactive displays that were informative and fun for both children and adults. Also new to the festival this year was an archery demonstration alongside the potato popper sling shot. Kory Jonasson, in conjunction with the Kinosota Trail Game & Fish Association, showed children how to properly use a bow and arrow to hit a target.

Bruce Hogarth, with his team of horses, once again offered horse drawn wagon rides.

The festival wouldn’t be complete without the old-fashioned races and the Amazing Race. Who wouldn’t enjoy racing towards the finish line in the old fashioned race? The children received candy donated by Sandy Bay CFS as they crossed the finish line. Seven teams entered the Amazing Race

and attempted to complete 10challenges in the shortest amount of time. The team who called themselves ‘Lauren & Friends’ met all the requirements in the shortest amount of time and was awarded the Langruth Harvest Festival Amazing Race Trophy and a large tub of candy and snacks.

Outside the arena, people gathered around a bon fire that was tended by the Lakeview Fire Department. As a special treat, Eileen Wood-

house made some delicious bannock over the open fire and Kiersten Sanderson handed out dream catcher kits. A variety of vendors displayed their products at the Harvest Festival Market. It is a great place to promote and sell crafts, hand-made goods, projects, produce, garage sale items and more.

The grand finale of the festival was a fantastic display of fireworks set off by members of the Lake-

view Fire Department. As the fireworks ended, the crowd sang ‘O Canada’ to conclude the celebrations of the day.

Once again, most of the activities, events and entertainment at the festival were free. Thank-you to everyone who supported the festival by donating to the silver collection, buying 50/50 tickets, buying silent auction sickets or purchasing food at the canteen. A portion of the proceeds was

17102SM0

directed to the Langruth Recreation Committee for the use of the skating rink.

The remaining proceeds will be put towards activities and events for the 2018 Harvest Festival.

The commitment of commun it y volunteers made this event possible.

Thank-you to those who attended and enjoyed the many activities. It was a great day and a wonderful community gathering.

Obituary Stacey Marie Brown (Veale) It is with great sadness that the family of Stacey Marie Brown (Veale) announces her passing after a brief illness, on June 8, 2017, at the Neepawa Health Centre surrounded by her children.

Stacey was born in Neepawa on June 14, 1949, to Jack and Lorna Veale and remained a Neepawa resident all of her life. She will lovingly be remembered by her mother Lorna Veale, daughters Cheryl (Darren), Kerri (Shane) and son Kevin. She was a proud grandmother to Neil, Michelle and Jennifer. Stacey was predeceased by her sister Shannon and father Jack.

Stacey battled many illnesses over the years but always had a smile and a cheerful disposition, despite her many challenges. In 2015, she moved into Country Meadows Personal Care Home, where she made many friends and received compassionate care from the wonderful caregivers. The family would like to extend their thanks to the staff at the Neepawa Health Centre and Country Meadows. A private family interment has taken place at the Neepawa Cemetery.

Winnifred Elaine Anderson (nee Curle) Winnifred Elaine Anderson (nee Curle) passed away August 10, 2017, at Country Meadows Personal Care Home in Neepawa. Winnie was born June 15, 1920 at Moore Park, MB, to parents Robert and Jennie Curle. She was the sixth of fifteen children!

Winnie attended Glenburney School. She met her husband Peter Esben Anderson, from Denmark, while working for the Hockin family. Winnie and Esben were married November 27, 1945, after Esben returned from Europe fighting in WW II. Winnie and Esben worked hard farming 1/2 section of land. They raised cattle, chickens and had a huge garden and also drove the school van.

Winnie was involved in curling, UCW, Brookdale Good Neighbours, TOPS and the Legion. She loved flowers and had gorgeous ones on the farm and her balcony at the Elks. She loved to attend the Curle family reunions.

On July 11, 1947, their son Richard was born. In 1986, Richard married Karen Carey, from Boissevain. In 1992, their twins Steven and Stacey were born. They were the highlight of Winnie's later years! She seldom missed a music or Christmas concert or a horse show and loved to show their pictures off to her friends.

Winnie is survived by her son Richard and wife Karen; grandson Steven Anderson of Winnipeg; and grandaughter Stacey Giesbrecht and her husband Riley of Dauphin. She is also survived by a brother Vernon (Jiggs) Curle and his wife Marion, of Brandon; and a sister Marjorie Thompson, of Winnipeg.

The funeral service was held August 15, 2017, in the Brookdale Community Hall, with Rita Friesen officiating and White's Funeral Home in charge of the arrangements.

Pallbearers were Ken Charlton, Darrell Gottfried, John Thompson, Keith Wood, Jason Sumner and Kenny Curle. Interment followed at Brookdale Cemetery.

The exterior of the Neepawa Salvation Army’s new location, the former Co-op building at 342 Mountain Avenue.

Continued from Page A1 “We’re getting into that process of mass chaos, where we need bodies to help with moving stock over and sorting and pricing.

We’re going to need some strong backs to help with the movement of fixtures and things like that from over here to our new home. Really, we’re in that need right now, so if people have some time to help us, that would be much appreciated’, indicated Naughton-Gale.

“Between October 16th and 27th, we’ll be looking at doing some heavy-duty moving. Between the 23rd and the 27th, we hope to have the old location completely done with. We will actually be closed for that entire week, in order to focus just on the other store. We will be accepting donations starting the week of the 16th at the new building at 342 Mountain Avenue at the south end.

There is a loading door and a buzzer where these items will be accepted. Anyone interested in volunteering during the move is asked to contact (204) 476-5869 or drop in at the old location.

Naughton-Gale said they’re sure they’ll be able to find “something for you to do.”

As for the grand opening in the new building,

e r o M

Naughton-Gale said they’ll be holding a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 2:00 p.m. She added that many people across the community have expressed excitement about the Salvation Army’s big move.

Manitobans Making Choices

“There are a few volunteers who have already seen the new space and they’re excited about it. There have been many regular customers, as well, who have told us that they can’t wait to see how [the new location]

looks. It’s just great to be at this point and to have a place where we can work with our clients, where people have space to shop. It’ll be a welcome addition to the community, for sure.”

Trick or treat TIC with Neepawa businesses

Submitted Town of Neepawa

On Oct. 31, from 10 am to 12 pm the Town of Neepawa will be safely celebrating halloween with a parade, but not a typical parade. This event will be for the children to walk along Mountain Avenue and collect candy from businesses along the way. Trick or treaters first stop will be the Town office, where they will get a list of participating businesses to visit. It is a great way for children to show off their costumes and experience Halloween in a fun and safe environment.

The event is intended for preschool children, as they aren’t in school at the time the event is on, but if there are older children (not in school) who want to participate they are more than welcome to join in! It is expected anywhere from 50-100 kids are to participate in the event. If any businesses are interested in participating, they can contact Town of Neepawa Recreation director Nicole Synchyshyn at 204-476-7614 or email at rec@wcgwave.ca.

Selkirk ‘steel’ a win in Neepawa

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

Qua l it y scor ing chances were few and far between on Saturday, Oct. 7 at the Yellowhead Arena, in a showdown between the Neepawa Natives and Selkirk Steelers. The difference on the night, however, was that when Selkirk had opportunities, they took advantage, catapulting them to a 4-2 victory.

Nate Halvorsen scored the first goal of the night, midway through the opening period, providing a 1-0 lead to the Steelers. Then in the second, former Natives forward Nathan Hillis came back to haunt his old squad, with his fourth goal of the year. That gave the visiting Steelers a 2-0 buffer heading into the third.

In the f inal period, both teams potted a pair, as Griff in Chwaliboga and Jordan Martin each notched goals for Neepawa, while Nico Labossiere and Connor Barley replied for the Steelers. Both Barley and Hillis ended the night with three points each for Selkirk (one goal, two assists respectively), while Steelers’ goa ltender L andon Poiron had a solid night between the pipes, registering the 25-save win. Evan Robert took the loss for the Natives, with a 17-save night. Selkirk went 0-for-2 on the power-play, while Neepawa was 1-for-6 on the night, with the man advantage.

Though the shots on goal for both sides were relatively light, Neepawa did have a few chances that they simply could

not capitalize upon. Those opportunites included a pair of four minute power-plays, a breakaway late in the first period, a shot ringing off the Selkirk goal post late in the second and several close call near the Steelers’ net.

A fter t he game, Nat ives head coach Dustin Howden commended Selkirk on their effort. He also noted that his team needs to play a bit looser out there on the ice.

“Kudos to Sel k irk, t hey played a solid game out there and played smart, executing on the chances that were provided”, stated Howden. “For us at this point of the season, we have some guys who are still getting up to speed, but just aren’t there now. It’ll come though. Our veterans, as well, are trying to do a little too much. Maybe gripping the stick a little too tight and just not pulling the trigger when

there is an opportunity. It’s a confidence thing. Everybody on this team has a good shot, it’s just a matter of letting loose.

This is a talented roster though, and we will get it figured out.”

Neepawa had a chance to ‘figure it out’ with a pair of games on Oct. 10-11 against the Waywayseecappo Wolverines and Steinbach Pistons, respectively.

Those results were finalized after the publication deadline for this week’s edition of the

The NACI Tigers’ first regular season game is on Friday, Oct. 20, when they travel to Minnedosa to play the Chancellors.

The continuation of a long standing rivalry opens up the Westman High School Hockey League’s (WHSHL) regular season. The league has announced the 2017-2018 schedule and has confirmed that the Neepawa Tigers and Minnedosa Chancellors will play on Friday, Oct. 20, in the lone game of opening night. The showdown of Highway 16 rivals will take place at the Minnedosa Arena and begin at 8:30 p.m. The Tigers return to the ice on Sunday, Oct. 22 to challenge Killarney at the Shamrock Centre.

Neepawa’s home opener, meanwhile, will be on Sunday, Nov. 5 versus the Vincent Massey Vikings. The majority of clubs in the 19 team league will begin their seasons on Friday, Nov. 3,with six

games on the schedule.

As for the divisional lineup, the WHSHL will be split into three divisions (North, East and West). The North Division consists of Dauphin, Major Pratt (Russell), McCreary, Roblin, Sandy Bay and Swan River. The East will house Crocus, Boissevain, GBC (Gleboro-Baldur-Carberry), Killarney, Minnedosa and Neepawa.

As for the West, Deloraine, Hamiota, Rivers, Reston, Souris, Vincent Massey and Virden will comprise that division.

It was also recently announced that the annual All-Star game has been cancelled. The reason for the decision is the difficulty of scheduling the game to accommodate playoff dates. First and second team all-stars will still be announced, with those players being presented with an award before the playoffs.

Several teams across the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) are primed and ready for the 2017-2018 regular season to begin. THHL president, Wayne Deschouwer, said there will be 13 clubs involved for the league’s 36th season.

One new team, the Wawanesa Jets, have joined the fold for the upcoming season, while the Carberry Plainsmen will be taking a one year hiatus. Deschouwer said that securing that elusive 14th team remains a priority, as it will assist with the creation of a balanced schedule. He noted that while it’s unfortunate that Carberry must step back for a season, the return of Wawanesa after an extended hiatus is a welcome addition.

With the loss of the Plainsmen, there will now be just six teams competing in the Eastern Division. The Neepawa Farmers and Minnedosa Bombers, who finished first and second in the East last season, will likely battle once again this year for the division’s top spot. Neepawa closed out the 2016-2017 season with a 13-5-0 record, while Minnedosa were

close on their heels, with a 12-6-0 mark.

Heading into the new season, Farmers general manager Rodney White noted that while the core of the 2016-2017 squad is returning, there are a few new faces that will also be out on the ice.

“We’re heading into the season with 18 skaters and two goalies returning to the roster. There will be a few new names on the back of the jersey, though. Some I can confirm, but some I can’t just yet,” indicated White. “Reigan Buchanan, who was the Neepawa Natives captain last year, will be playing this year for the Farmers. As well, Daylon Creasy of Carberry is going to come up here and play with us this season. There’s a few more players we potentially could have in the lineup, but we can’t confirm just yet. But either way, we’re heading into the season feeling pretty confident.”

Just a little further west on the Yellowhead Highway, the Minnedosa Bombers are also feeling fairly confident. Forward Matt Saler said that they’re determined to improve upon their regular season record from last year.

Looking Back 1967: Supersonic booms heard around Neepawa OCTOBER 13, 2017

Neepawa Banner & Press

80 years ago Friday, October 8, 1937 The Canadian National Railways have put in special equipped cars on all passenger trains effective October 1 to handle less than car load freight. These cars are equipped with refrigerators and heated compartments for the protection of perishable freight. Cars are new and kept spotlessly clean. All freight will be picked up and delivered by the railway without cost to the shipper or consignee.

The object of the railway is to furnish the most efficient service practicable.

70 years ago Thursday, October 9, 1947 Alexander Blake Dunlop passed away on October 4 at his home in Neepawa after a lengthy illness. Although going about his duties until a few weeks ago, Blake had not been in good health for the past year.

As a boy he entered a printing office in Winnipeg to learn his trade. In 1896 he came to Neepawa to assist his father in the publication of the Neepawa Press, the first issue of which was published in May 1896. For over 50 years Blake served as printer, publisher and editor of The Press.

His devotion to duty and unexampled regularity were two of his outstanding qualities. Blake served the town and community for over 50 years. His father, Alexander Dunlop, one of Manitoba’s pioneer newspaper men, predeceased him in 1930 and his mother, Nellie Hursell, passed away in 1941.

60 years ago Thursday, October 10, 1957 Ideal weather prevailed for the 50th anniversary fall fair for the Kelwood Agricultural Society. The attendance was larger than last year and entries in the horses and fowl classes evidenced more exhibitors while cattle classes had fewer.

50 years ago Friday, October 13, 1967 Many residents of Neepawa were awakened in the early hours of this morning by two loud noises and some house shaking, presumed to have been caused by a sonic boom from a supersonic aircraft. A check was made with the Canadian Armed Forces base at Portage la Prairie later this morning, but there was no confirmation of supersonic aircraft in the district from that point. Most reports from local residents this morning indicated at least two loud “booms,” enough to waken many sleeping people. One reported looking out the window and seeing 2 or 3 planes. At the Portage airbase, the base information office told The Press that the two aircrafts capable of creating a sonic boom in the Centennaire squadron were not located at the base at this time and the office could not identify the source of the noise.

Further checking is being done, but up to this time we might term it simply as a “UFN” “Unidentified Flying Noise,” to distinguish from “UFO” reports of recent weeks.

40 years ago Thursday, October 13, 1977 While mayor Steven Juba surprised the nation by withdrawing his name from the Winnipeg mayoralty race last Friday afternoon, Neepawa residents were equally surprised to learn that councillor Fred Barker has also made a similar move by withdrawing from the mayoralty race here. Mr. Barker’s decision created an election by acclamation for councillor Gary McElmon, who was running in opposition to him. Mr. Barker issued a statement to The Press this week in which he poses a number of questions about council, the election and related subjects, but did not attempt to answer them. The tone of his statement gave the impression that he was disappointed about many aspects of serving the town and that after 9 years as a councillor he felt that there were other, younger men and women in the community who should be able and willing to let their names stand for election.

30 years ago Wednesday, October 14, 1987 Tuesdays and Thursdays in October and November will see the Viscount Cultural Council fall classes commence at the NACI home economics room and the Margaret Laurence home. The classes are a unique roster of activities including soap stone carving, introductory chess, basic quilting, machine appliqué and Christmas crafts for kids. The variety of activities ensures there is something for all ages to take part in, and offers a challenge to mental and hand skills.

20 years ago Monday, October 13, 1997 A major international conference on the life of Neepawa born author Margaret Laurence will be held at the university of Manitoba Oct. 24 through 26. Sponsored by the U of M’s institutes of the humanities, the conference is being held to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Laurence’s graduation from United College. Margaret Laurence and her times will feature 26 speakers from around the world, including McMaster Universities James King. King recently completed a biography on Laurence, in which he revealed she committed suicide, rather than die a lingering death from cancer. As well, actress Dorian Kohl will perform an excerpt from her one woman play, Portrait of a Lady. The play was adapted for stage from a radio version of Laurence’s novel The Stone Angel. Brandon University held a similar conference in 1988. At that time, the 80 participants made the trek to Neepawa to see the community on which Laurence loosely based her fictional Manawaka.

Pick up a new read to celebrate Library Month

A selection of wonderful books, including some new children’s books, can be found at the Neepawa Library.

Submitted Neepawa Public Library

October is Canadian Library Month, so we’ll take the opportunity to share some of the wonderful books that can be found within our walls at Neepawa Library and in the digital world as well.

With this month’s new children’s books, we received a copy of Sidewalk Flowers by JonArno Lawson. This Governor General’s Literary Award winning book is a wordless picture story of a little girl who picks random wildflowers while walking with her father. Each flower becomes a gift along the way and whether or not they are acknowledged, the flowers transform both giver and recipient. It’s a touching story and reminds us of the importance of the little things in life.

Also added to our shelves this month are several true stories of personal experiences and journeys. One is The Book of Joy – Lasting Happiness in a Changing World which is a collection of thoughts and musings by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. They explore the Nature of True Joy, confront the Obstacles to Joy and finally they offer the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide a foundation for lasting happiness. These two amazing leaders continue to be very influential and their stories provide compelling reading. Their discussions and insights are reminders of how treating ourselves and others with kindness and compassion can create joy.

Both of these new books are available on our shelves and as digital versions in eLibraries Manitoba which can be found through our website at wmrl.ca/eresources. We’re happy to help our members gain access to online library resources - just drop in to the library with your library card and your device and we’ll do our best to get you online.

Eden students to benefit from J.M. Young cookbook Helen Drysdale out of helen’s kitchen

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.

1979: At the tender age of 39, Progressive Conservative Joe Clark, won a minority government in the federal election on May 22 and became Canada’s youngest Prime Minister. He only lasted ‘til December 13, as they lost a vote of non-confidence on their budget.

Manitoba was hit with one of the largest floods in the province’s history.

Sony released the Walkman, an instant success worldwide. A Walkman cost $200, which at that time was a significant amount to pay for such a small item.

One of the earliest home computers, Atari 400 Home Computer System, at the price of $594.95, becomes available to the general public. Beautiful Plains School Division begins to send teachers on training sessions to prepare for attaining computers for use in the school system.

In Eden, J.M. Young School was busy gathering recipes to publish a cookbook with the help of Mrs. Julie Barilla, who organized the recipes and edited them for the printers. Principal, Mrs. Elizabeth Sumner stated that the 196 students would benefit from the proceeds of the sale of cookbooks with new resources and equipment.

Meat and potato pie- Mrs. Phyllis Birch 1 lb. minced beef 1/8 tsp. thyme 1 Tbsp. flour 1 cup oatmeal 1/8 tsp. celery salt 3 Tbsp. milk 1 onion, chopped 1 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. chopped green pinch of sage 1/8 tsp. pepper pepper 2 cups potatoes 1 cup shredded cheese 1 cup canned tomatoes 1 Tbsp. chopped onion paprika Combine meat, oatmeal, onion, green pepper, tomatoes and seasonings. Pat on the bottom and sides of a large pie plate. Boil and mash potatoes. Blend in chopped onion, flour, milk, salt and pepper. Spread on the pie crust. Top with 1 cup shredded cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Serves 6.

Raymond Cooper prepares for his greatest performance July 4, 1998 is a date that will live in infamy in the annals of Lennox Valley. Let’s look back at the events that led up to this remarkable date in Valley history.

The daily talk radio show, “Renderings with Raymond”, is as good a place to begin as any, I suppose.

It had been only 17 months since Raymond Cooper hatched his plan to use his celebrity status to weasel his way into the mayor’s seat in the upcoming election.

With each passing day, listeners became more enraged at Raymond’s favorite source of controversy, the dastardly actions of the Bank of Canada. These actions, he claimed, were solely responsible for the soaring price of eggs.

Around that same time, the good Lutherans of the Valley called “Brother Jacob” Gehrig, direct descendant of Lou Gehrig, to serve as their first associate pastor. Not long after, following his attendance at a church growth conference at a Methodist “megachurch” in Kansas City, Missouri, Jacob felt his heart strangely warmed and was led to begin the Valley’s first contemporary

worship service. Having no drummers or electric guitar players in the congregation, the weekly 8:30 a.m. service made do with a keyboard player from the local junior college. Brother Jacob is perhaps best known for his habit of preaching in bare feet. He once explained to his congregation of 15 to 20 weekly attendees it had something to do with Moses and a burning bush.

In 1997 Juliet Stoughton moved the Valley to be with her soulmate, Chris Roadhouse, who, eight months later, did as soulmates often do, left her to be with his new soulmate who lived up the road in Springfield.

In May of ‘98, desperately feeling an echoing emptiness, Juliet picked up a copy of Lennox Valley Hometown News, dated October 15, 1997, which had been lying underneath a copy of the Lennox Valley Phone Book for seven months. That’s when she learned of the First Baptist Church Annual Men’s Breakfast and Turkey Shoot. As one of only six vegetarians in all the Valley, Juliet was chagrined by the thought of Baptist men traipsing around the

church grounds, shooting innocent turkeys. The fact that women weren’t invited made it that much worse.

Of course, the biggest news among the good folks in 1998 was the appointment of the first clergywoman in the history of Lennox Valley. Sarah Hyden-Smith became the rector of the Anglican church in June of that year and life in my hometown hasn’t been the same since.

W ho knew so many puzzle pieces would come together on one extraordinary day? It was on July 4 that both Juliet Stoughton and Raymond Cooper awoke, unbeknownst to each other, in their respective homes earlier than usual for a Sunday morning. Both residents of the Valley were planning to attend church for the first time as adults, but for dif-

ferent reasons.

Juliet, while still plotting her upcoming protest at First Baptist Church, had heard of the new pastor at the Anglican church. In a moment of desperation, feeling the growing loneliness of a woman whose soulmate

was gone for good, Juliet made the fateful decision to quietly slip in among the Anglicans and see what this Sarah Hyden-Smith was all about. Juliet was grasping for hope and church seemed as good a place as any to find it.

Raymond’s reason for attending church was a bit less noble. Coming to the conclusion that he must be a faithful member of a church to win the upcoming election, he realized the clock was ticking and July 4 was to be the day he took the membership plunge. After much “prayerful thought,” a phrase he would repeat

often in the coming weeks, he selected the contemporary service at Lennox Valley Lutheran Church.

It would be a performance to be retold time and again over the coming years.

The Good Folks of Lennox Valley is a feature that previously appeared in the Neepawa Press and will run weekly in the Neepawa Banner & Press. Visit lennoxvalley. com to learn more about the good folks.

THHL regular season preview

Continued from Page B3 “We’re confident we’ll be able to make some progress in the standings. The core from last season remains intact. There are a couple young guys from around the region looking to make an impression. [Centre] Grant Jacobson won’t be back this year, but it’ll be, for the most part, the same guys back. We’re heading into the season expecting to have a real battle with Neepawa in the East. That’s the way it’s been the last couple years. Combine that with Gladstone, who shouldn’t be overlooked, it’s going to be a real battle for top spot,” Saler stressed.

The third team to comprise the Highway 16 circuit are the Gladstone Lakers. Dale Evenson of Gladstone noted that they haven’t had the chance to hit the ice yet, so the early part of the season may be a bit of a mini training camp. He expects, however, that once

they get past some scheduling concerns with players early on the calender, they’ll be able to push for a top three placing in Eastern Division.

These three teams, along with the rest of the league, will be looking to knock off perennial powerhouse, the Killarney Shamrocks. Killarney heads into the season as the two-time defending league champions, as well as the 2017 provincial champs.

The exhibition schedule begins this weekend across the league, most notably with the Neepawa Farmers and Minnedosa Bombers playing Friday, Oct. 13 at the Yellowhead Centre. Start time is set for 7:30 p.m.

Neepawa’s EDO, helping ideas grow

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

Business is the backbone of every rural community, but businesses, both large and small, face challenges as they seek to establish, grow and thrive. In Neepawa, the Economic Development Office exists to help both new and established businesses as they navigate the sometimes uncertain waters.

Town of Neepawa Economic Development Officer (EDO) Marilyn Crewe helps businesses of any size. “I’ll talk through business ideas with anyone,” she says of the wide cross section of business owners who walk through her doors. Crewe said that she will talk to business owners about any areas in which they are facing challenges, such as marketing, cash flow, expansion plans and succession planning. “If I don’t have the answer, I’ll help them find it,” she explained.

For those considering starting a new business, a visit with Crewe can provide some much needed guidance.

She’ll talk with them about options, regulations and what they might need to get started. “I don’t do the work for them,” she said, explaining that she will walk them through some of the steps and point to areas that may need some attention. She’ll also help them with areas of their business plan, such as defining their target market or developing a marketing plan. Owning a business is a dream for many people and Crewe also helps people

who are still in the planning stages and not yet ready to take the plunge.

Desire and necessity drive entrepreneurs to start their own businesses and fortunately for most of Crewe’s clients, it’s passion that’s driving their new venture. She works with entrepreneurs who must balance their desire to start something new with an existing, paying job. In these cases, she can help entrepreneurs talk through and plan their transition.

Part of Crewe’s job also involves compiling information to help those looking to do business in the town. This includes data such as demographics, workforce profile,

available services, taxation and available land and buildings. She adds that she can also have this information this information customized by sector such as the hospitality industry or value-added food processing.

Compared to many communities, Crewe says that Neepawa is in a strong position as a location to start or expand a business. Not only does it have diversity among its existing businesses, but it also has a balanced population of young and old residents, all needing products and services. This type of diverse population creates opportunities for all kinds of different business ventures and Crewe is there to help them all.
