NACI students bring HOPE to Winnipeg

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Some of the HOPE members sorted through crates of potatoes and other produce volunteering at Winnipeg Harvest.

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner NACI’s HOPE group recently wrapped up their latest project. The group had been collecting donations of t-shirts, socks and toiletries from the students at NACI to make tshirt roll care packages for the homeless in February.

Twenty-three of the group members delivered some of those rolls to Winnipeg Harvest on Mar. 22 and 20 more group members took the rest on Apr. 12. In total, 457 t-shirt rolls were donated for homeless Winnipeggers’ use. They also had boxes of socks, men’s underwear and hygiene items that didn’t get used in the t-shirt rolls, as well as nine large tins of infant formula that they donated.

While the students were there, they also got a chance to help out at the Winnipeg Harvest warehouse. They sorted produce and bread, bagged flour, pasta, rice and oatmeal and put together portions for food kits.

“Once you got through a crate of potatoes and seeing the bottom of this massive box – it was a

huge box – just seeing the bottom and thinking of how many people that fed was probably one of the highlights of the day,” said Emma Gerrard, a Grade 11 student in HOPE. The group also had the chance to hear from some of the clients who use Winnipeg Harvest’s service.

The clients shared their experiences with poverty and homelessness with the students. “The students were so empathetic towards the clients and some were brought to tears as they listened to the stories,” said Michelle Young, NACI teacher and HOPE group organizer. “It is so hard to imagine what some people go through in their young lives compared to how fortunate most of us are in our school and community.”

“That was really interesting,” Gerrard said about hearing the clients’ stories.

“Just how they managed to rebuild their lives, that was the most interesting part of that.” The clients who spoke to the group were not only recipients of the food kits, but they also volunteered at Winnipeg Harvest to help others in situations like theirs.

The group that went in March also had the opportunity to try a “Living on Less” simulation.

“They did an experiment with us... as a single mom having a certain amount of money that I got every month,” Jessica Gibson, a Grade 10 HOPE member who was on the first trip, explained. “And then you had taxes and child support and different things come and take your money from you so I’m only left with so much. Then they had us budget as if we were a single mom and try to figure out how much money you need here, how much here, what’s left over. So, we were like trying to live and it was really interesting.”

Gibson said the simulation was the highlight of her trip. “You’re thinking that, well I had a partner to do this with, she [a real single mother] does it all by herself, while she’s got two kids that she’s got to look after and just [the reality of it] was really, really scary.”

“This [simulation] inspired the students to not only realize how difficult budgeting is when you don’t have very much money, but that even if someone is working hard,

classes and Dairy Queen donated an ice cream cake for each of the winning classes in Grades 6, 7 and 8. The Empty Bowls theme was a reminder of all the people who go hungry on a regular basis because of poverty.

HOPE started out this project with a chilli supper and handmade bowl sale in October and continued with the t-shirt roll drive in February. The t-shirt drive was a competition between

they still might have to use a food bank to feed their family,” added Rebecca Trudeau, Winnipeg Harvest’s youth programs associate. Trudeau was the one who worked with Young to organize the visits and the different tasks that the group was given when they came.

“I think that this group did a great job to realize that the food bank stereotypes are not always what society thinks. This group saw the need in the community and reacted in a creative and inspiring way and not only ended up bonding as a group, but also provided to thousands of families in need,” commented Trudeau.

With both visits combined, the HOPE group was able to help 4,785 families who use Winnipeg Harvest. “It was incredibly inspiring, fulfilling and rewarding to work with them all and look forward to a continued relationship,” Trudeau concluded.

Young said that these two days of volunteering were the “culmination of our ‘Empty Bowls’ project that we worked with the guidance of Winnipeg

Rotary learns of Foodgrains Bank’s international endeavours “I do about 10 of these type of presentations every year. I love talking about the work being done. In a lot of ways, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a well kept secret.

A lot of people in the city, or even in small towns, haven’t even heard about [the organization] or the tremendous work that it does,” said Baloun. “It’s very important to get the message out there, because there are times, when people will hear about what’s going on globally, they step up and say that they’d like to help as well.”

Baloun also discussed Kernels of Hope, a nonprofit organization, which he founded, that solicits farmers to donate land and time to assist with feeding the world’s hungry. Kernels of Hope sees donors “purchase” acreage from farmers by covering the cost to grow on the land.

The farmers will then donate their time and effort to grow a crop on that designated portion of land. When the crop is harvested and sold, the proceeds are donated to World Relief Canada.

Baloun added that if anyone is interested in learning more about Kernels of Hope, they can find details online at the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada website.

So give your father and mother joy!

May she who gave you birth be happy.

Ray Baloun, a board member with Canadian Foodgrains Bank, shared details and photos of a recent trip he and other members of the organization took to Laos and India. The excursion was part of the group’s resolution to help people grow their own food and also improve water and sanitation in their villages.

The trip involved members of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank travelling to several remote locations to see for themselves what types of improvements have been made through the group’s efforts, while also learning

Having a big impact O

n Tuesday night, the Neepawa town council decided to cut funding to two major local organizations, namely the Viscount Cultural Centre and the Neepawa Natives Junior Hockey Club. Both groups function only because of hundreds and hundreds of hours of non-paid volunteering.

Each group, in their own way, makes a huge contribution to the community. The impact to the community morale is huge and the economic implications are even bigger.

I am sure there will be figures to come out about VCC, but here’s the impact that the Neepawa Natives and their “joined at the hip partner”, the Yellowhead Centre, have in this area. Other organizations and other communities will see a parallel. I think perhaps the town’s decision was the wrong one, but maybe there are other ways to work things out.

Neepawa Natives economic impact – 1989 to 2016 and Yellowhead Centre economic impact – 1971 to 2015 The Neepawa Natives Junior A Hockey Club has been operating since 1989, playing out of Neepawa’s Yellowhead Centre.

The team consists of at least 23 players, a head coach, an assistant coach, a general manager, a director of player personnel, bus drivers, scouts and trainers. Only the head coach and assistant coach receive salaries, the other positions are volunteer. Trainers receive an honorarium. There are approximately 100 volunteers, including 14 board members.

The team plays 30 home games, 30 away games plus exhibition games. The team also holds a spring camp attended by a 100 players and nearly twice as many parents as well as a summer Top 50 Prospects camp in Brandon and a fall try-out invitational camp.

I think perhaps the town’s decision was the wrong one, but maybe there are other ways to work things out.

Neepawa Natives expenditures 1989 to 2016 – $6.2 million* *The majority of this $6.2 million has been spent in and around Neepawa for billets, equipment, ice rental at the Yellowhead Centre, salaries and team expenses. Economic studies show that money spent in a local economy has a 1:7 ratio, that every dollar gets circulated seven times. That means that the Neepawa Natives have generated an economic impact of over $42 million in the area since 1989.

Revenue generated at the Yellowhead Centre 1989 to 2016 by the Neepawa Natives Ice rental $459,000 Concession revenue $364,000** Total $823,000 **The concession revenue doesn’t include exhibition games or spring and fall camps.

The Yellowhead Centre was developed in 1971 from the old Neepawa Salt Plant. Throughout the 45 years it has served the community, the YHC has generated $11.8 million, mostly spent locally back into the community through wages, construction materials and services. Again, using a 1:7 ratio, that means an economic impact of over $82.6

”

million. Together, the Neepawa Natives and the Yellowhead Centre have had a huge economic impact on Neepawa and area.

It should be noted that over the years, the YHC has gone through some periods of significant debt.

By having the Neepawa Natives bring in over $800,000 to the YHC, the Neepawa Natives made a significant contribution to the YHC debt re-payment. Due to that economic activity of the Neepawa Natives and the many other user groups and customers over the years, along with diligent management, the YHC is debt-free today.

The Neepawa Natives need some help so they can continue to contribute to the economic wellbeing of Neepawa and the YHC. There are several ways that help can come about. A person could: 1. Buy a season ticket.

2. Buy a team sponsorship for their farm or business.

3. Sponsor a player’s billet costs at $350 per month.

4. Loan the team some money at a reasonable interest rate.

5. Make a donation to the Yellowhead Centre and receive a charitable receipt.

rohibiting the practice of shark finning, making dog fighting illegal, banning the import of products made of dog or cat fur or skin and creating more legal mechanisms to prosecute those who starve animals to death– A newly introduced federal bill aims to close the MY loopholes that PERSPECTIVE currently allow these practices to continue.

You would be hard pressed to ate find a Canadian who doesn’t ackman tkinson support such legislation, the problem is that this isn’t all that Bill C-246 contains.

Introduced this February as a Private Member’s bill by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Bill C-246, the Modernizing Animal Protections Act, aims to: “amend the Criminal Code, the Fisheries Act, the Textile Labelling Act, the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act and the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (animal protection)” in order to better protect animals.

Hunters, anglers and even farmers have come out against the bill and it isn’t because they aren’t animal lovers. If passed, this act will move animals from the property section of the law into the section of the Criminal Code, which deals with morals and offences committed against persons. The vague wording then creates a situation in which animals could be entitled to similar rights as people. Following the first reading of the bill, animal rights groups, such as the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Animal Alliance of Canada, voiced their support.

At the heart of the issue is section 182.1, which reads, “Everyone commits an offence who, wilfully or recklessly, causes or, being the owner, permits to be caused unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal; kills an animal or, being the owner, permits an animal to be killed, brutally or viciously, regardless of whether the animal dies immediately; kills an animal without lawful excuse.”

The legislation doesn’t define the terms “brutally” or “viciously”– which is where the potential problems arise. Where does hunting or the slaughter of animals for food fall in this spectrum? What about veterinary procedures, like castration or dehorning, which can cause pain and suffering? There is nothing in the proposed legislation that would exempt Canadians doing any activities which are considered normal by society’s standards.

Unlike the current animal welfare legislation, Bill C-246 actually contains some teeth and those who violate it could face fines as high as $10,000 or 18 months in jail. This seems fair for those who partake in dog fighting, but what about someone who baits a hook with a minnow?

Local MP Robert Sopuck, who was a fisheries biologist before going into politics and is the Conservative Party’s critic for wildlife conservation and Parks Canada, has been a vocal opponent of the bill, which he says aims to eliminate all animal use in Canada.

Sopuck has noted that other legislation, for example the Ontario SPCA Act, specifically lists exempted activities, such as fishing with a license, but no such wording exists in Bill C-246.

Much of the contentious wording in Bill C-246 has appeared in seven other bills, starting in 1999. One such bill even made it to the Senate.

On May 9, Erskine-Smith is scheduled to present the second reading of C-246 and he could face some tough opposition. Angling groups in particular have been actively encouraging the 3.3 million adult Canadians who fish to contact their MPs and voice their opposition to the proposed legislation.

The urban-rural divide in Canada is real and this legislation could have been an opportunity to unite all Canadians on our desire to protect animals from neglect or death in a fighting ring. If this is the true intent of the bill, then it could be made clear in the wording. Instead, the bill has served to further stoke the flames that rural ways of life and Canadian traditions are under attack.

Opinion

APRIL 22, 2016

There are no magic solutions

E

arly in my career, I attended a weekend seminar on pastoral counseling. Our presenter was a highly respected individual with decades of experience in the field. He had just finished writing a book on the subject and I was part of the first group to hear him share his ideas in public.

The sessions were well researched and presented.

The conclusions reached were not surprising; at least not to me. I had been exposed to similar teachings in college and seminary.

Simply put, his argument was this: “Secular counseling techniques can not help us deal with problems that are spiritual in nature; and almost all problems we face are spiritual in nature.”

He went on to suggest that lengthy periods of counseling are not necessary. If “proper spiritual counseling techniques” are used (and he told us what he thought they were), he felt that most of the problems people faced could be resolved in two or three counseling sessions.

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein Sitting near the back and listening quietly was the guest speaker for a conference that ran parallel to the counseling seminar. Later that evening, he addressed some of the things that were said that afternoon. He did not openly contradict our presenter. But he said one thing that shocked us all.

“If any of you thinks that there are magic solutions to human problems,” he said, “Come and see me. I will introduce you to some victims of ritual (spiritual) abuse who have been so traumatized by their experiences that no amount of prayer, Bible study and spiritual counseling will ever see them return to the innocence they enjoyed before the abuse took place.”

He went on to admit that his statement was extreme, but that he had

used it to make a point.

Those who engage in any form of counseling must realize that there are no magic solutions to human problems. Each case must be individually analyzed.

Each client must be allowed to identify issues, deal with them and heal at his or her own pace. Any attempt on our part to accelerate the healing process or to offer simplified solutions for complex problems will cause additional injuries that may leave scars from which the hurting person will never heal.

The path from hurt to healing is not an easy path to walk. Every step can be painful as it forces us to face our own negative attitudes and sinful actions.

Every step opens our eyes to help us see how we were often the architects of our

own misfortune; how we let pride, arrogance and selfish ambition control us instead of submitting to God and to the teachings of Scripture.

The path of healing often involves confessing specific sins and seeking forgiveness; first from God and then from those we have offended.

Problems that took decades to create won’t be solved in an hour. There are no magic solutions to any of them. They took a long time to create. They may take a long time to fix.

But don’t let that upset you. God isn’t worried about how long it takes us to heal.

There is no limit to his patience. He knows the path we need to take in order to be fully healed and restored to fellowship with him and others. He will give us all the time we need to take the steps he has prescribed for us. And at the end of the road, God will look at the product—a wounded child who has been fully healed and restored—and he will say: “That’s good! That’s very good!”

Productive solitude is necessary

‘S

olitude, clearly, isn’t our most comfortable state. But based on recent research, we’d be wise to overcome anxiety around being by ourselves.

While nobody’s advocating becoming a hermit, there are benefits to spending at least some time alone each day’. An excerpt from Reader’s Digest October 2015 - ‘Why it pays to spend time alone – One Is the Loveliest Number’ by Megan Jones. The recent research referred to included people left in isolation and the only means of breaking the boredom was to self administer a small, painful electric shock. Sixty per cent of the men and a quarter of the women broke their solitude with electric shocks!

Really?! “Physical pain, it seemed, was preferable to spending a few minutes alone with their thoughts”.

HOMEBODIES

Rita Friesen uting member of society, I recognise ‘productive solitude’. It was hours out on the cabless, radioless tractor, hours of head bent gently against the warm side of the cow at milking time. It was long walks checking the fences and solitary forays to round up cattle or sheep. Hours picking roots, hauling bales, chucking firewood. Productive solitude allowed one to dream and plan – perhaps dreaming and planning an escape from the drudgery of farm work!

Another quote from the same article –”Reflecting on our actions and thinking about future personal improvements are the cornerstones of productive

ast week, I decided to use the old bread-making machine again. I had all the ingredients, except that the yeast had expired quite a while ago. After the bread was done and cooled, I opened the lid and saw that the crust was golden brown and the bread was a perfect size. We tried a few slices and did they ever taste good.

The next morning, I tried the cut the bread, but it was so crumbly inside that I could not put it in the toaster.

solitude.”

What was life like before radio, movies, television, telephone and electronic communication? In conversation with several family members, we reflected on the majestic castles and cathedrals built centuries ago. The ornate gargoyles, the breathtakingly beautiful painted ceilings, stained glass windows. What kind of productive solitude lay behind those inventions and what hours of productive solitude have generations of viewers invested? That said, with the increasingly complex world in which we live, new and radical ideas are prolific and beneficial to humanity.

Poets, authors and artists

are as noteworthy now as they were in a ‘simpler, quieter’ time.

The study went on to explain that people moving in groups, or even pairs, are generally kinder to strangers than a lone individual.

But that makes sense from a perceived safety sense.

It also statistically showed that when people go to a show, a concert or in general out alone, they had a better time than they imagined they would. I know that! It is the thought of going to a function by myself that is daunting, the being there is generally positive.

I do believe that most folks are hesitant to embrace solitude. We have the television on, or music playing, or check emails or play games on devices. But just to be silent, alone? Klinenberg, a sociology professor at New York University, says it well –”Unless you are completely content with who you are and the way you are, productive solitude is necessary.”

I crumbled the rest of the bread and will now use it for breadcrumbs.

It made me think that we meet people daily, who look happy and content on the outside. However, on the inside, they are crumbling and falling apart. We do not know what their thoughts are, but our Heavenly Father does and we can trust Him to take control if we let Him. My favourite verse is found in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”

When we feel weak, the Lord will carry us. Let Him have His way in our life.

Letters Education does matter There has been some talk around the idea of running a totally private busing service from the Neepawa area and south to capture students whose parents want their children to go to the less congested Brookdale School. It has a lot to offer in the way of student/teacher ratio as well as high historic academic standards. Thus far, the Beautiful Plains School Division seems content to leave it under-utilized.

In a recent meeting that I had with the Minister of Education and the Deputy Minister, I was told that they always tried to be solution based and from that perspective, they were strongly encouraging BPSD to utilize assets at their disposal to solve some issues and accomplish certain goals that seemed relatively simple.

Beyond the lame options that the division has offered parents for their K-8 school age children to date, the ministry has so far not been successful in getting them to budge at all, especially in regards to the transportation concerns. School of Choice, the retention of the moratorium on the closure of small schools so there is in fact a choice, as well as over crowding, are a concern for many parents in this division presently.

A better use of existing funding and resources to provide for the parents and their school age children's needs now should happen everyday.

This, rather than disadvantage so many throughout the entire division while just waiting for school closures and expensive learning hutches in the interim, new wings added to existing buildings, or the even less likely scenario of an entirely new school altogether somewhere off in the distant future. It is, for the most part, just applied math.

Not doing your homework has never been a good excuse!

‘We have no one to blame but ourselves’ In response to Bob Adriaansen’s letter in the March 4 Neepawa Banner – I attended the Pine Creek School Division budget presentation on February 25, 2016. Near the end of the meeting, trustee Tom Teichroeb gave his own explanation of why school taxes have shifted to farmland.

Maybe you should contact trustee Tom Teichroeb so I do not misquote him.

Tom said all farmers, especially large farmers and Hutterite Colonies, have been guilty of fighting over the scarce resource we call farmland.

In doing so, we (the farmers) have pushed land prices past their productive value in our greed to acquire more land.

So you, large farmers and Hutterite Colonies, will pay more, because your school tax rebate is capped at $5,000.

You and we have no one to blame but ourselves...

So do not complain about rising school taxes, you did it to yourself!!

Expansions contribute to profitable year for Co-op

By Ken Waddell The Neepawa Banner With sales rising in 2015 to $76.6 million and net savings of $3.3 million, the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op had lots to smile about at their annual general meeting on April 14. Held at the VCC, the local Co-op reviewed the financial statements and honoured two long time board members, John Forke (9 years) and Ray Kulbacki (12 years).

Co-op general manager Brian Hedley said, “Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op depends heavily on the agricultural sector for the success of our operations and we are therefore de-

pendant on the weather conditions. It was a stressful start to the season with late frosts and everyone was concerned about crop damage. However, reasonable crop yields were experienced in most of our trading area.”

Looking at the petroleum part of the business, Hedley stated, “2015 has been a difficult year if you are in the oil producing business. The oil cartel OPEC decided not to restrict crude supplies this past year and a glut of oil has been the result. With excess oil in the market, the prices collapsed with crude down significantly.

The upside was that many customers found the prices

at the pump much cheaper than in the past.”

Hedley noted, “Many departments had much improved margins over last year. With the large sales increase, this also helped to add additional margin dollars to our bottom line.

Most departments did well and achieved budget, but this is not the case in all departments and some have to put a priority back into achieving budgeted margins.”

On recent expansions, Hedley was very positive and said, “March 6, 2014 was an exciting day when we opened our new Food Store facility and then just over a year later was another exciting day,

For Nesbitt, health care is his number one priority, which is also one shared by the party. The loss of doctors, nurses and medical services affects everyone in a community he noted.

As for the party, Nesbitt said, “I’m so proud of the campaign the PC [Party] ran.” He added that he’s also proud of how the leader conducted himself both during the campaign and in his victory speech.

Declining sales and reduction of community support in this department has been of great concern to us the past number of years.

Strong margins and good expense control has also led to a better year. The changes that have been made the last number of years in the lumber department have been very beneficial.”

New for 2016 is the upgrading of five of Co-op’s Terragators/Rogators to brand new units. Customers will receive custom applied Co-op products by the newest in Ag-Chem equipment. Hedley said,

“With Eagle Agro working with us and Nelson Almey’s three spray planes, we will be able to cover all your 2016 needs.”

Hedley warned, “We are very optimistic about the coming year. Although we have enjoyed success in the past, we cannot afford to get complacent and assume the success will continue indefinitely.

Our competitors, many of which are large multi-national companies, continue to enter our marketplace and we must ensure that we are able to fine tune our operations so that our Member/Owners will continue to enjoy the benefits of Neepawa-Gladstone Coop membership.”

Garlic veggies

Over many centuries, garlic was used to ward off diseases. Greek mothers hung garlic around their baby’s necks to protect them from illness. In England and France, it was used to try and prevent outbreaks of the plague.

Today’s recipes call for garlic, but just because it turns routine veggies into tasty sensations.

Roasted Asparagus 15-16 fresh asparagus 2 small clove garlic, minced spears salt and pepper 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar Preheat oven to 450°. In a shallow baking pan, toss asparagus with oil, garlic and salt and pepper until coated. Roast until tender and lightly browned-about 10 minutes. Gently shake pan every 3 minutes. When done, remove pan and drizzle balsamic vinegar over, shaking pan to coat well.

Spiced carrot sticks 1/2 tsp. paprika 6 large carrots 1/4 tsp. each of cumin, 1 large clove garlic cinnamon and ground 1/2 tsp. salt coriander Sauce: 1/4 tsp. pepper or more 2 Tbsp. lemon juice to taste 2 Tbsp. olive oil Peel carrots. Cut into sticks about four inches long and 1/4 inch thick. In a pot, boil the carrots, garlic and salt until the carrots are just tender. Drain and leave in pot. Mix the sauce ingredients and pour over the warm carrots, tossing gently to coat all the sticks.

Garlic mashed potatoes 1 tsp. salt 5 large potatoes, peeled 1/2 cup sour cream and cut into pieces 1/4 cup butter 6-7 garlic cloves, peeled 2 Tbsp. milk and halved Put potatoes, garlic and salt in a pot and boil potatoes until tender. Drain potatoes.

Neepawa unveils new budget

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Spending in the 2016 budget for the Town of Neepawa is much more than it was last year.

Fortunately for the average homeowner though, they won’t be asked to make up that much of the spending difference.

The budget numbers were unveiled on Tuesday, Apr. 19 during a public hearing at the Town Office. For 2016, council has allocated $7,655,027.81 towards the general operating fund and $5,047,751.51 to the utility operating fund. Those numbers are an increase of just under $937,000 for the operating budget and a little under $2 million for the utilities budget. Mayor Adrian de Groot said that extra money will be taken from the town’s reserves and shifted into the budget in order to cover some major capital projects.

“We have some large projects and we want to get them going, because

they’ll have a significant impact on the future of the community, as far as growth is concerned,” said de Groot. “[Such as] reducing the stress on our sewer system, it has some long term benefits, so we really wanted to get those projects going.”

A large portion of the money shifted from the reserves will be used directly for the construction of the new fire hall ($1.3 million), the purchase of a new fire truck ($395,722) and computer upgrades and replacement ($15,000).

De Groot stressed that although these are large numbers being moved out of the reserve funds, council did not want to deplete them to the point that they are no longer functional.

As for the direct impact to residential and commercial ratepayers, the tax impact will vary, depending on the assessed value of their property. For 2016, the municipal mill rate, which is used to calculate the property tax, will be

22.47 mills. That’s a decrease of 1.77 mills from 2015, or about seven per cent. Mayor de Groot said some property taxes will go up, while others will decrease. He noted that it will all depend on the individual assessments.

“It’s a complicated formula, because the mill rate is impacted by assessment.

2015 was a reassessment year, so whenever you get that, there is an adjustment,” said de Groot. “It’s not an across the board formula, based on how you were assessed in the previous year. It’s pretty detailed. So there will be a tax impact calculator placed on the Town’s website. Everyone should have already received a notice from the assessment branch as to what your 2016 assessment is. You can take that number and you put it into the calculator and it’ll show you [your tax rate] and then you take a look at last years tax statement and you should be able to see what next years is and

New Tucson offers quality and fun at a reasonable price

By Ben Castle The Neepawa Banner Twelve years is a long time in the automotive industry. If this had been the first generation Hyundai Tucson of 12 years ago, I probably wouldn't have much positive to say other than it is a cheap, well-equipped alternative to the likes of the evergreen Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4 with an industry-leading five year, 100,000 kilometre bumperto-bumper warranty. In terms of engineering, desirability and quality of build though, it fell a little short of best in class. However, with the third generation 2016 Tucson launched mid-way through 2015, Hyundai has gone bigger, better and more upmarket. Although Tucson has been amongst the top 10 best-selling compact crossovers in Canada for a good few years now, the new Tucson has seen a 38 per cent spike in sales and with over 16,000 units sold in 2015, Tucson is now snapping on the heels of its slightly bigger T h e c a b i n and more expensive compact crossover a n d f e e l s sibling, the Santa Fe Sport.

Tucson is available with two engines: a two litre direct injection (GDI) four cylinder with 164 horsepower and 151 pound feet of torque, which is carried over from the previous generation, or a new 1.6 litre GDI turbocharged four cylinder with 175 horsepower and 195 pound feet of torque, which replaces the old 2.4 litre engine and comes with all-wheel drive as standard. The two litre engine is mated to Hyundai's six-speed SHIFTRONIC automatic transmission and the 1.6 T utilises a new seven-speed dual clutch (DCT) automatic transmission.

Hyundai claims nine litres per 100 kilometres highway for the two litre and 8.4 litres per 100 kilometres for the 1.6 T. Maximum towing capacity for both engines is 1,500 pounds.

Tucson is available in five trim levels: Base, Premium, Luxury, Limited and Ultimate. Base, Premium and Luxury come with the two litre engine as standard, whereas Limited and Ultimate come with the 1.6 T engine as standard, although it is a $2,300 option on Premium trim. Luxury, Limited and Ultimate also come with all-wheel drive as standard. Base trim starts at $24,399 excluding taxes and is front-wheel drive only. You get Bluetooth and cruise with steering wheel mounted controls, automatic projection headlights, fog lights, air conditioning, rearview camera, XM radio, remote keyless entry and alarm, 60/40 split rear seat with two-stage recline, front heated seats, windshield wiper de-icer and power windows and mirrors as standard.

For an additional $2,300, Premium trim adds 17 inch aluminum wheels, roof rails, heated rear seats, blind spot detection with lane change assist and rear-cross traffic alert, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, front solar glass and rear privacy glass, heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control. AWD is an additional $2,300 on two litre Premium models. If you specify the 1.6 T engine, you get AWD, 19 inch aluminum wheels and power driver's seat with lumbar adjustment. For an additional $4,100, Luxury trim gives you leather seating, proximity keyless entry with push-button start, panoramic sunroof, smart power liftgate, navigation and Premium audio with eight speakers. $3,550 more for Limited trim adds the 1.6 T engine, power passenger seat, rear parking assist sensors, HID headlights with dynamic bending light system and LED tail lights. Finally,

to become an issue. The "manual" mode also offers slicker shifts than any auto that I have reviewed to date and was genuinely satisfying to use. The standard Drive Select system on all models offers three modes: Normal, Eco and Sport. Eco optimises fuel economy, whereas Sport mode sharpens the throttle response and adds more weight to the steering, making it very satisfying to hustle down a twisty road. The ride is smooth and there is very little engine and wind noise transferred to the cabin, but thanks in part to the 45 section tires on 19 inch rims standard on models with the 1.6 T engine, road noise is relatively high. If comfort and refinement are more important to you than performance and handling, then you may prefer the 60 section tires on 17 inch rims standard on two litre models.

This, combined with the very slick-shifting seven-speed DCT, means very smooth and brisk performance right through the rev range and thanks to the smaller engine using less fuel when cruising, I achieved a very respectable 9.6 litres per 100 kilometres average (Hyundai claim 9.2), even with some spirited driving and this is also a 10 per cent improvement on the 2015 car. Hyundai's service intervals are 117 Main Street every 6,000 kilometres for both engines.

The new, upmarket 2016 Hyundai Tucson ing into account standard equipment, Tucson is on average around $1,600 less expensive than its direct rivals spec-for-spec

and together with typically excellent finance and lease deals, Hyundai is usually one of the more affordable options. All things

considered, this Tucson is probably one of the best vehicles that I have driven so far this year.

s g n i v a S PHOTO COURTESY OF WWW.WILSONHYUNDAI.COM

W i t h i t ’ s c o n t e m p o r a r y, c h u n k y s t y l i n g , t h e Tu c s o n i s arguably one of the best-looking vehicles in its class continued from page 8 The rear cabin is comfortable for two adults, but less so for three, as the transmission tunnel intrudes and hip and shoulder room are tight.

Unlike the Jeep Cherokee, the rear seat does not slide forward, but you get a wide load area as standard with 877 litres, 20 per cent more than the 2015 Tucson and 25 per cent more than the Cherokee.

My top pick would be the Premium trim with AWD in terms of value versus features. The two litre is a bit lacking in firepower when compared to its compact crossover rivals and whilst $2,300 extra for the 1.6 T engine is not an insignificant amount, when you consider that also gives you the DCT transmission and is about

seven per cent more fuel efficient and quicker, it is probably worth it.

The Tucson's biggest rival is probably in-house, as the slightly bigger five-seat Santa Fe Sport has more power, more passenger space, a considerably larger load area and can tow up to 3,500 pounds. The base, Premium and Luxury models carry roughly a $3,000 premium over the equivalent Tucson, but for the top-spec SE and Limited models with the two litre turbocharged engine (265 horsepower versus 175 horsepower in the Tucson), the premium is less than $1,000. Food for thought for the value-conscious family buyer. However, the Santa Fe Sport is now in its fourth year, so some might prefer the more contemporary, chunky

styling of the Tucson, which is arguably one of the best-looking vehicles in its class. Also, the Tucson is more efficient and is available with the more modern DCT transmission.

However, both models are excellent choices and tak-

NACI Tiger wins provincial player of the year

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

Lina Gordon, of the NACI Tigers, has been honoured as Basketball Manitoba’s ‘AA’ female player of the year.

The senior received the prestigious award on Saturday, Apr. 16 at the Basketball Manitoba Awards banquet in Winnipeg. It was a part of a full weekend of festivities, which included several basketball games, featuring the boys and girls A - AAA and AAAA graduating all-stars.

Gordon’s coaches, Jody Jury and Darren Roe presented her with the accolade. During her presentation speech, Jury noted that both coaches are very proud of how Lina has developed, both as a player and as a person.

“It’s my honour to present Lina with the award for ‘AA’ female player of the year. She works hard on and off the court. She’s an honour student and is going to the University of Manitoba next year. I’m excited to see her start her adult life,” said Jury. “On the court, she’s always been asked to guard the best players on the other team and she’s always done a great job with it. And as one of the leaders of our team, she’s always been a very positive influence.”

Gordon said that being singled out in this manner was an unexpected honour.

“I couldn’t believe it. When my name was announced, I genuinely was shocked.” said Gordon. “To be recognized at this high a level was tremendous. I didn’t do it alone though, my teammates made me look good out there. And [coaches] Darren and Jody really kept us focused and gave [the players] the knowledge and techniques we needed to improve our game. Also have to thank my parents. Their guidance and support not just in my athletics by just in general was so incredible.

This isn’t just my award, it’s theirs as well.”

Before the awards ceremony, Gordon, along with teammates Jayme Kulbacki and Danielle Hanke, played in the provincial all-star game. After that game concluded, Hanke received the player of the game honour and was chosen for the second team lineup of the A-AAA female all-Manitoba team. Later, at the awards ceremony, Jury commended Hanke, Kulbacki and the rest of the NACI Tigers for how they have developed their skills over the years.

Natives’ Hingtgen commits to ‘Meet the Coach’ set for Apr. 26 Saint John’s University Submitted Neepawa Natives press release The Neepawa Natives would like to congratulate 20-year-old defensemen Austin Hingtgen, who has recently committed to the Saint John’s Johnnies of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) for the 2016-2017 season. Austin is the first graduating player of the Neepawa Natives to move on to the next level this year.

Located in Collegeville, Minnesota, the Johnnies have been MIAC Champions five times, with the most recent championship in 2013. The 2015-2016 season was an exceptional year for Saint John’s, as they finished one win short of first place with a MIAC record of 10-4-2-1.

Hingtgen was acquired

by Neepawa early on in the season, playing an important role in both the community and with the hockey club. Austin said that he’s thankful to everyone who assisted him in achieving his college goal.

“I would like to thank my family, there’s no way I would be where I am today without them,” said Hingtgen. “I would also like to thank the Natives management, teammates, and my billet mom [Mary Ellen Clark] who had given me an opportunity to play great hockey and achieve my goal of playing college

Hingtgen, who plans on studying biomedical science, had also expressed his enthusiasm for playing with the Johnnies next season.

“After visits to multiple schools, Saint John’s stuck out as the best fit for me.

I really liked the atmosphere around the school and the team, and I am excited to contribute to the team’s winning tradition,” noted Hingtgen.

Town cuts grants to organizations Continued from page 7 Grant funding across the board decreased by $16,900 with some organizations that had received grants in the past, such as the Neepawa Natives junior ‘A’ hockey club and Neepawa Rifle Club, receiving nothing this year. De Groot said Council had to make some difficult decisions on this portion of the budget.

“This conversation started last year, as well.

Taking a look at [the grant process]. There was more than a perception, it was a bit of a reality where the requests were basically ‘You ask, we give.’, in a sense. So, we started to change that last year and evaluating. Did we get it

right? Time will tell,” noted de Groot. “What we were saying about supporting certain organizations, we have to take a look and say ‘Okay, is that something in other communities, the city or town operates that?’

Those things, we’ll be taking into consideration during the grant process. It’ll definitely have an impact on 2017.”

As for the 2016 budget, first reading for its passing was given on Tuesday, Apr. 19. Second and third reading will likely occur at the next council meeting currently scheduled for Tuesday, May. 3. Additional budget details and charts can be seen with this story at my.westman.ca.

Doug Schueller, expressed much praise for his recent recruit.

“Here at SJU we look for players that are competitive, coachable and most importantly have character. We felt that Austin showed all those characteristics and we are excited to see what he can accomplish here at SJU.” said Schueller. “We had a great visit with Austin when he visited our campus and I believe he will fit in well with our team.”

Hingtgen accumulated five goals and five assists in 44 games this past season for Neepawa. The Williston, North Dakota native is one of the few graduating players from the 2015-2016 roster and played an important role with the organization and the community.

The Neepawa Natives would like to wish Austin future success with the Johnnies.

The Neepawa Natives Junior ‘A’ hockey team is inviting you to come out and meet with their new head coach. The MJHL club has arranged a meet and greet with new bench boss Dustin Howden for Tuesday, Apr. 26 at Chicken Corral.

Howden, who has served as an assistant coach for the club the past two years, took over the heading coaching position on Tuesday, Apr. 12, after signing a three year deal with the organization.

Neepawa Natives team president Ken Waddell said that the club is hopeful people will take advantage of this opportunity to speak with Dustin and find out where the team is heading for the future.

“The Neepawa Natives organization is very excited that Dustin Howden has agreed to a three year contract with the team. Dustin is well liked in the community after working here as assistant coach for two years and we believe the players will be happy under his direction. I just hope everyone will come out and meet Dustin and make him feel welcome,” said Waddell.

The meet and greet at Chicken Corral will begin at 7:00 pm.

Portage Terriers win second straight MJHL title

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner For the second straight year, the Portage Terriers are the Manitoba Junior Hockey League champions, and for the second straight year, they made the journey towards the title appear relatively easy.

On Tuesday, Apr. 19, in front of 1,700 hometown fans at the PCU Centre, the Terriers defeated the Steinbach Pistons by the score of 5-1, to take the best-of-seven Turnbull Cup final in five games.

It was the second consecutive MJHL championship for the Terriers and their sixth Turnbull title over the last decade. During this year’s playoff run, Portage won 12 of 13 games, while last spring, they won 12 in a row, on their way to claiming the Canadian championship, the RBC Cup. With the league victory, the Portage Terriers will now advance to the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup, scheduled for later this month in Estevan, Sas-

katchewan. The Terriers, along the host club, the Estevan Bruins and the league champions from Saskatchewan (SJHL), Alberta (AJHL) and British Columbia (BCHL) will vie for just two available spots in the RBC Cup, set for next month in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.

By Ken Waddell The Neepawa Banner “It’s not what you put on the field, it’s what’s available to the plant that counts.” That was the basic message from Craig Davidson of Taurus Ag at a farmers’ seminar put on recently by Munro Farm Supplies of Neepawa. Farmers and gardeners know that the main nutrients needed for plant growth are nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and sulfur.

Davidson said, “Plant roots need phosphorus and the plants also need phosphorus for setting seed,” which of course affects yield. “You can have lots of phosphorus in the soil, but plant uptake is hindered if the soil conditions are cold or too wet.”

Davidson went on to indicate that 20 ppm of phosphorus is recommended but under ideal crop growing conditions, lower levels may work out. His main message was that farmers

Farmers attending the crop nutrient seminar put on by Munro Farm Supplies were advised that optimizing crop yields may depend on maintaining adequate phosphorus levels. Traditional broadcasting equipment, such as the spreader shown here, may need to be utilized to get enough product into the soil. should soil test and know their phosphorus levels in the soil and apply as much as they can with the seed.

Too much phosphorus planted with the seed can hamper growth as well.Top dressing with phosphorus may be needed in successive years to keep the soil

levels up.

Davidson showed several charts that indicated how much phosphorus is taken out of the soil by various crops and and different yields. The higher the yield, the more phosphorus is removed from the soil. “The important

thing is to at least replace what is taken out and if soil levels are less than optimum, farmers need to add phosphorus back in. Spring wheat takes out 0.6 lbs. of phosphorus per bushel and Soybeans takes .84 lbs. per bushel.

Most of the phosphorus

used in North America is mined in Florida and has to be shipped across the continent to farm supply stores. Davidson indicated that applied livestock manure is also an excellent source of phosphorus for crop production.

Obituary ORPHA ELLEN (PEGGY) GALLOWAY Orpha Ellen Galloway (Peggy) passed away on April 9, 2016 at Country Meadows Personal Care Home (Neepawa, Manitoba) at the age of 89 years after a lengthy illness.

Peggy was born March 13, 1927 at Gladstone, Manitoba to Will and Mabel (Costella) Stewart.

She was named after both her grandmothers (Orpha and Ellen) but when her father saw her for the first time, he gave her the nickname, Peggy, a name that stayed with her for the rest of her life.

She grew up in the Silver Stream district with two older brothers, John (Jack) Elwood and William Alexander Stewart. She attended elementary school, a one-room school house at Silver Stream and then took her grades 9 and 10 by correspondence.

Her teenage years were spent during World War II. She helped her parents on the farm with whatever had to be done, prepared and sent packages overseas to the many young soldiers from the community as well as experienced ration books. The family listened to the radio every night to hear what was happening overseas.

In October of 1946, she married Clare Galloway of Pine Creek. They spent their first two years farming at Pine Creek.

Here their son, David Clare, was born in 1947. Later they moved to Cavendish, Alberta where they were in business running a general store. In 1950, they moved back to Manitoba spending a number of years farming in the Golden Stream district. They had two daughters, Maureen Louise (1952) and Jo-Anne (1956) to complete their family.

In 1964, Clare became manager of the Federal Grain Elevator at Golden Stream and the family moved to the “elevator house”. While living there, Peggy worked at the Gladstone Pharmacy.

In 1973, Peggy and Clare purchased the Shell Canada Ltd. Bulk agency in Gladstone, C.A. Galloway Sales and Service and moved to town. They both thoroughly enjoyed these years in business; however, in 1987 they retired due Clare’s illness.

In 2004 Peggy moved to Neepawa, first to a suite in Prairie Oasis and then, due to illness, she became a resident of Country Meadows Personal Care Home in 2013.

Peggy was a very diversified person and involved in many community organizations over the years. She was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion as well as the Royal Canadian Legion Auxiliary, receiving her 50-year pin in 2015. While she was President of Provincial Council of the Royal Canadian

To place an ad:

Tuesday Noon

Legion Ladies Auxiliary, she met many women who told her of their personal stories of the war years. With the help and support of many good friends, a book, “Women of the War Years” was completed in the year 2000. Peggy was very proud of this book.

Peggy was also involved with the Access TV stations in Gladstone and Neepawa. She interviewed several local people over the years but in particular was very adamant to have the stories told and saved of the war veterans and their families.

For several years, Peggy was a member of the art clubs in Gladstone and Neepawa. She painted many pictures over the years and had several exhibitions of her work in the province.

As well, Peggy hosted many tours with Valley Royal Tours of Gladstone. Without a doubt, her favourite destination was Churchill. She visited this spot many times and enjoyed the uniqueness, wildlife, scenery and history of the area. And, of course, she was always fascinated with the polar bears.

Over the years, Peggy also participated in a variety of organizations including 4-H program, United Church Women, Toastmistresses, Red Hats Society, Gladstone Chamber of Commerce, bowling league and several community history books, to name a few.

Peggy was predeceased by husband, Clare Galloway, (2002); son, David Galloway (2004); mother, Mabel Stewart (1961); father, Will Stewart (1971); brother and sister-in-law, Bill and Georgina Stewart (1982); brother, Jack Stewart (2003) and sister-in-law Catherine Stewart (1995); brotherin-law and sister-in-law Keith and Vera Galloway.

Peggy is survived by daughter-in-law, Allison MacDonald of Regina, grandsons, Bill Galloway (Aya) and greatgranddaughters, Mia, Sana and Sera; Rick Galloway and great-grandchildren Noah and Kayla, all of Japan. Daughter, Maureen (Don) Cox of Neepawa, grandchildren, Jennifer (Scott) Anderson, great- grandchildren Geordie and Jessie; Will (Brandi) Cox and great-grandson, Robert. Daughter, JoAnne (Larry) Campbell of Arden, grandchildren, Chad and great-grandson, Luke and Jodi (Clayton) Terin and greatgrandchildren, Taylor, Tyson and Cobe. She is also survived by sister-in-law and brother-in-law, June and Earl Stewart of Gladstone as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and host of friends.

Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 2:00 pm at the Gladstone United Church, Gladstone MB with Lynne Sanderson and Beth MacDonald officiating. Interment will follow at the Gladstone Cemetery.
