Staying safe on the farm

PHOTOS BY KIRA PATERSON

On June 9, Grade 5 and 6 students from Neepawa and Carberry schools gathered at the Fairgrounds in Neepawa for the bi-annual Progressive Agriculture Safety Day. There were 16 different stations teaching kids about different dangers on the farm. Manitoba Farmers with Disabilities came out to talk about what can happen in a tractor rollover.

Prairie Mountain Health paramedics came to show the kids some of the equipment found in ambulances and how to use it. The students got to try out the stethoscopes.

Court’s Greenhouse no longer a perennial business

PHOTO BY KIRA PATERSON

After being open for 32 years, Jeanine Court has decided to close Court’s Greenhouse after this season is over.

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner After 32 years in the greenhouse business, Jeanine Court has announced this as the last season for Court’s Greenhouse. At the end of June, the business will be closing for the year, like it usually does, but the doors will not open again next spring.

Court started her business in 1984 in a small wooden greenhouse, intending only to grow enough for herself

and her family. However, her thumb was greener than she knew and she had enough plants to supply her neighbours as well. From there, her hobby bloomed into a business that has influenced and supported a generation of gardeners in the area.

In 1987, she bought her first metal frame greenhouse and the business continued to grow until she had 14,000 square feet of greenhouse.

The Court’s Greenhouse was a lot more than just flowers. Court provided starter vegetables for many col-

ony farms. At one point, she also included trees, shrubs and decorative stoneware for gardens in her product line up. During the off-season, she grew seed potatoes for large scale farms, vegetables for local grocery stores and market garden stands and she dried flowers for craft and florist stores in Winnipeg.

Court provided products and horticultural support to areas ranging from Gladstone, to Carberry, to Neepawa and even to Brandon. She set up a greenhouse space Neepawa in 1989, selling from the Safeway parking lot and then the Co-op grocery store parking lot. The Neepawa sales continued to grow and were the majority of her business up to 2013, when she stopped setting up in Neepawa. Court’s was one of the main suppliers of plants to the Neepawa area while she was set up there. She also had a location in Gladstone for about 12 years, but she made the decision to stop selling in Gladstone and Neepawa because the business was getting too spread out. After her Neepawa greenhouse space closed, she continued to serve that community by producing flowers for the Riverside Cemetery. She grew and transplanted over 70,000 petunias each year for the past three years, contributing to the cemetery’s reputation of being a beautiful space.

Court contributed significantly to the seasonal employment in the Plumas area. She’s had as many as 10 employees at once to transplant seedlings and eight during the open season. The greenhouse always had a family-like atmosphere among the people working there.

For over 30 years, she looked forward to receiving the new seed catalogues and choosing what plants she wanted, but now, she’s decided it’s time to quit the greenhouse and focus on the other family business.

The Court family also runs the Court Seeds agriculture business, which keeps her busy with administration and accounting year-round. Court said it has been a good business and she enjoyed it while it lasted. The one thing she’ll miss the most is the interaction with customers.

Now, she plans to sell the greenhouse structures to someone who has a place to put them. She will continue to garden, but only for herself. “Once a gardener, always a gardener,” Court concluded.

Neepawa Banner Perspective

Future of the family farm

Tundra

A

by Chad Carpenter

ccording to the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA), over $50 billion in farm assets are set to change hands over the next 10 years. Canada’s farm population is ageing and there will be a huge change in the country’s agricultural landscape as these ageing farmers sell their farms and retire.

Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census of Agriculture found a continuing trend of fewer, but larger, farms and increasingly older operators. In 1991, there MY were 280,043 farms in Can- PERSPECTIVE ada and by 2011, the number had fallen to 205,730. ate Over that same ackman tkinson period, the average age of farm operators rose from 47.5 years to 54.0 years of age. Looking at it another way, between 1991 and 2011, the number of farms where the oldest operator was younger than 40 years old declined almost 75.0 per cent, from 74,159 to 20,299 farms.

For many operators looking to cut back or retire, the ideal solution is to pass their operation on to a child or grand-child.

The problem is that many farmers, like other small business owners, face additional costs and financial barriers when they seek to transfer their farms to family members.

A federal private member’s bill aims to make this process less costly. On May 19, Guy Caron, an NDP MP from the Quebec riding of Rimouski-Neigette-Témiscouata-Les Basques, introduced the bill, which would amend the Income Tax Act so that under certain conditions, the transfer of shares in a family farm or fishing corporation by a taxpayer, to the taxpayer’s child or grandchild who is 18 years of age or older, would be excluded from the anti-avoidance rule of section 84.‍1 of the act.

Section 84.1 deals with related party purchases and was enacted to stop corporations from using these as a tax avoidance scheme. In effect, this section requires that a capital gain be classed as a dividend when a person disposes their shares for cash to a non-arms’ length company and when the companies remains connected after the transaction.

The problem is that it has created additional tax costs when retiring business owners, including farmers, want to pass their businesses to their children. In effect, it makes it much more expensive to sell to a child than a stranger.

In introducing the bill, Caron said, “My bill would end a blatantly unfair situation that puts business people, farmers and fishing vessel operators at a disadvantage when they want to pass their business on to a child rather than a stranger. The difference is a big one. For a million-dollar business, the difference can be around $200,000 from a taxation perspective. For a $10-million farm, we are talking $2.2 million less [in tax costs] if the owner sells it to a stranger rather than a family member.”

To overcome the possibility to tax avoidance, in Caron’s proposed bill, the purchaser must own the farm for at least five years.

The bill had gained the support of not just the CFA, but also the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Union des Producteurs Agricoles du Quebec and Montreal Chamber of Commerce.

Nothing in business is guaranteed, but selling a farm to a family member, someone who is familiar with the land, the operations and the business’ unique challenges, should result in a higher level of productivity and profitability. The added benefits of being able to retain the knowledge of multiple generations is something we should be striving to achieve, not discouraging.

The time to act on this is now, before the large scale transfer of farm assets takes place.

Small businesses, which includes farms, are a vital part of our industry and account for approximately half of the country’s GDP. In a country that isn’t known for its entrepreneurial spirit and an industry in which young people face many barriers to entry, it’s time to make it easier for young farmers to carry on their family’s tradition, not harder.

Calling a spade a spade!

“T

o "call a spade a spade" is a figurative expression which refers to calling something "as it is”, that is, by its right or proper name, without "beating about the bush"—being outspoken about it, truthfully, frankly and directly, even to the point of being blunt or rude and even if the subject is considered coarse, impolite, or unpleasant.”

–Wikipedia-2017 The phrase is traced back as far as 1542 in the English language.

Unfortunately, there is an unwillingness in the media to “call a spade a spade”. The mass shooting in Orlando this past week is such an example. There is a willingness to call it a tragedy and horrific. That’s correct, as the shooting was both tragic and horrific. However, in this case, and in the case of many mass killings, there is a huge hesitancy to attribute the actions to what is often the main source. The killers are terrorists and they often are Islamic militant terrorists. To say something less than that is, in many cases, less than the truth.

To identify the motivating background of a killer or killers in no way disparages a particular faith group. The motivating background, when it is well known or documented, is part of the truth, part of the whole story.

If the killings are done by militant extremist Islamists, it needs to be said in the same way if it was militant extremist Christians, militant extremist Sikhs, militant extremist political rebels or if it is the work of a person who is simply out of their mind.

The first time that I remember the reluctance by media to state the truth about terrorism was when Russia was being attacked by people from Chechnya. There was a huge reluctance in the

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell media to identify them as Islam extremists. The truth eventually came out, as it usually does. The described “Chechnyan rebels” may well have been rebels, but they were also Islamic extremists.

By not being truthful about the news, the media sidetracks itself into such things as offensive cartoons about groups.

That is another way of perverting the truth, as the cartoons usually portray people groups and events in such an over the top fashion that offence taken can be justified. Cartoonists should not be making fun of anyone’s faith.

All the major faiths or religions in the world lay claim to being peaceable. All have, at one time or another, had a segment who strayed from that tenet of the faith. However far a segment of a faith group strays from the peace claim, be it for a day, a generation or longer, should not brand the whole faith.

It is said in the Christian Bible that, “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” That is true for every individual who has ever lived. It is also true that every faith group has fallen short, not only of God, but their own stated goals.

It is this lack of media of truthfulness to form a true description of events, of motivations, of backgrounds that

gives rise to indignant uprisings in thought and political action.

The morning after the Orlando shootings, Newt Gingrich, former US House speaker, was asked why some major news outlets were not identifying the evidence attached to the shooter.

He said, “The elites are dishonest” and that people hate dishonesty and that is what gave rise to Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. Trump and Sanders are running for US president and both have ridden a wave of voter discontent with the glossed over, varnished reality that has become mainstream politics and mainstream media in the United States.

US voters are in a turmoil because the presidential election has opened up some very real problems from racism, to gun control, to the overly political correctness that stifles real debate. People are totally fed up with the fact that the “elites” that Gingrich refers to control so much of the economy politics and media of their country that theoretically is supposed to be governed for the good of all citizens.

Whether it is the high tragedy such as the Orlando shooting or something as simple as the price of bread, the public needs the truth. Calling a spade a spade should always be a good thing.

Opinion The many faces of generosity

JUNE 17, 2016

M

any years ago, an electrical fire destroyed a family’s home. No lives were lost, but everything inside the house was destroyed.

Within 24 hours, the displaced family had found temporary housing. Donations of food, clothing and furniture were collected. A year later, they moved into a new home on a farm they were in the process of buying when their home was destroyed.

This is a true story. The family lived 1.5 miles north of our family farm. I was 10 years old at the time and I have never forgotten the many ways in which we and our neighbors rallied around this family and helped them rebuild their home and their lives.

Stories like this are repeated every day in communities all across Canada. An unexpected death, a fire, a tornado, a flood, a random act of violence—these can happen to anyone at any time; and in the blink of an eye, everything we have spent a lifetime building can be destroyed.

But it is in times like

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein these that we see many faces of generosity.

Those who can donate money to emergency relief funds. Others give food, clothing, furniture or household effects. Some people will spend their vacations helping with the massive task of cleaning up and rebuilding lost homes or businesses. Their efforts may not make the national news, but they will be forever remembered by those who were helped by these generous people.

In our day, we tend to define “charity” as “financial contributions made to a charitable organization or society.” Charitable organizations come in all shapes, sizes, varieties and kinds.

But they share one thing in common and that is the right to issue a receipt for money donated by their supporters. To encourage financial donations, gov-

ernments give donors a tax credit, allowing them to reduce their income taxes by a percentage of their annual donations.

Now, there is a reason why governments encourage us to make financial donations to charitable societies. These societies hire administrators, purchase goods, rent buildings, lease equipment and pay workers who deliver services to their clients–all of which can be taxed. So governments will recover every dollar credited in new taxes on the salaries and services charities provide.

Now don’t get me wrong here. Charitable organizations fill a vital role in Canadian society. We need them and we need to generously support them. But generosity has many faces and we need to identify and affirm those whose random acts of kindness are just

as helpful to others as are the financial contributions made at benefit galas or in response to TV campaigns.

No one understood this better than Jesus himself.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reminds all of us that God sees every act of kindness and every generous deed that people do for others. “When you give alms,” he said, “Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” (Matthew 6:3) Here, Jesus urges us to share what we can whenever we are given opportunities to do so—whether or not we receive any recognition for what we’ve done.

Human recognition is fleeting. This year’s tax receipt will be useless next year. But the gratitude expressed by those we help, the friendships we form and the example we set for others will remain long after the gift itself has been forgotten. And at the end of life, God will reward every act of kindness, every generous gift and every investment we’ve made in the lives of others with the words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Puttering with projects S ome time ago, the young men in my life (son and grandson, in case you’re wondering!) came to help clean out the shop. Ed’s shed. I made it clear that I wanted the table saw, the mitre saw, the hand saws, the drills, the sander, the side grinder, oh, and leave all the drill bits and chain saw. There was a moment of silence, and my son quietly asked, “how often do you think you will use them?” “Not the point,” the voice in my head shouted, “I want them.” My outside voice explained that puttering with these tools, refinishing furniture, doing minor repairs and small projects bring me peace–and exercise.

This week, one of my goals was to transform the half barrel with the mounted non-working pump into a water feature. Needed

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen

the drill to remove said pump from it’s moorings.

That actually involved two trips to the shed, the first drill I grabbed didn’t have a reverse, that I could find, and I knew how to make the other one work. Here I gladly admit, I did not know how to get the sleeve out of the pump shaft to insert the water hose. But I knew somebody that did.

Thanks Alex. Now to drill a hole in the top of the cover to thread the hose through. No drill was capable of holding the large drill bit I wanted to use. So I drilled a series of holes and punched through. So

By Addy Oberlin his coming weekend we celebrate Father’s Day. It is a day where we spoil Dad and give him some very special attention. Maybe cook his favorite dish or take him to his favorite spot.

far so good. If I left the lid on the ‘well’, lifted up, the spout was blocked; left down, the water simply runs off the lid and not back into the bucket. So –let’s cut a hole into the lid cover, place a rusted antique kettle on that and even more character to the feature. Found the jig saw, drew the pattern, cut the hole, re-attached the cover.

Simple sentence – four trips from project to shed.

I could/should have moved the barrel to the shop, but it was heavy, and for now, I can’t find the dolly. Good exercise. Then the rusted holes in the kettle were

not large enough to accommodate the flow of water.

Back to the shop. Could not find the punches that used to hang on the wall.

To be fair, I didn’t ask for them to be left. And to be even more fair, they may be there, but I couldn’t see them. So, with heavy hammer and flat screw driver, I perforated the kettle bottom until I could punch through a large enough opening. I quite like the finished project.

I have puttered with other projects as well.

But there are two that I am awaiting either for inspiration or a more skilled carpenter. There are two four panel doors that I want transformed into a head board for a double bed. The other project is an ancient parlor table I want cut down to a coffee table.

Any ideas? Even better, any volunteers?

was and I came to a point that I hated him for what he had done. However, I am here. I have a wonderful family and it is growing. I also know now that I need to love the person who was responsible for me coming into this world, because I have a God who loves me more than anything or anyone in this world. He says so in John 3:16. God sent His son into this world to take the punishment for our sins, so that we can have eternal life through Him if we accept Jesus into our life and let Him have His way.

That way, we can all celebrate Father’s Day, because our Heavenly Father loves us.

Letters On track to set a world record Manitoba is on track to be home to yet another world record, with over 100 machines officially registered to take part in an antique threshing event on July 31 in Austin.

At ‘Harvesting Hope: a World Record to the Help the Hungry’, 600 volunteers from across Canada will harvest a field of wheat with over 125 old-fashioned threshing machines from the early 20th century.

The equipment will require over four football fields of space when in operation.

“The excitement behind Harvesting Hope is contagious and growing every day,” says Ayn Wilcox, spokesperson for Harvesting Hope.

“We have 111 teams registered right now from as far away as Iowa and Edmonton. We are currently on par with the current record with more machines coming out of the woodwork and registering each day.”

Harvesting Hope’s organizing committee plans to run all threshing machines for at least 20 minutes and thresh 75 acres of wheat. Each machine will be driven by a steam engine, tractor or stationary engine built between 1890 and 1950.

To be held July 31, 2016, Harvesting Hope is a joint effort of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. All event proceeds will support the efforts of these organizations to end global hunger and preserve Manitoba’s rural heritage.

Harvesting Hope will be held in conjunction with the 62nd Manitoba Threshermen’s Reunion & Stampede, scheduled for July 28-31, 2016.

Negotiations continue for Minnedosa station

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner There may be a light at the end of the tunnel for a heritage group in Minnedosa that’s been working for over a decade to preserve the town’s train station.

Minnedosa Heritage Inc. has received a financial offer of $75,000 from CP Rail to compensate them for the work the organization has done to the historic building since 2006. During a meeting on Tuesday, June 14, the group considered the offer and voted to send a counter offer to CP of $110,000.

Heritage Inc. chair Brion Pollon said that number was decided upon because it’s more in line with the amount of money spent on upgrading the facility, as well as compensation for the more than 2,000 volunteer hours that have been accumulated over the years in maintenance. “[Minnedosa Heritage Inc.] has been involved for so long. We’ve been working to ensure the building didn’t fall into disrepair.

The shingles were in bad shape, the roof needed to be redone and the windows were no longer in good shape,” said Pollon. “Over the course of a few years, we fixed the roof, replaced the shingles and the windows. A lot of time and cost went into that, so to walk away would be difficult. The number we’re sending [CP Rail] is more in line with those efforts.”

These negotiations are part of a much larger battle for the site, which started in 2005. During the CP Rail’s Holiday Train in Minnedosa that year, railway representatives made an unexpected announcement when they unveiled that they were giving the historic station

Helen Drysdale OUT OF HELEN’S KITCHEN Honey Baked Onions Onions were considered an important crop as early as 2,400 BC. Believed to have supernatural powers, they were planted in “the Gods best fields.” Today, the onion is most often used to enhance the flavor of the dishes we cook. However, the onion can offer savory variety used as a vegetable dish. Cooked onions pair well with roast beef or pork.

The Minnedosa train station was built in 1910. Since 2005, local volunteers have spent over 2,000 hours in maintenance and repairs. to the community for the cost of $1.

After a basic verbal understanding on the transfer was secured, committee members got to work making repairs to the exterior of the building. After years of negotiations, however, with no formal signed agreement, CP declared in January of this year, that they would instead use the building as office space. Heritage Inc. was offered access to the train station’s attic, but the group determined that the space would not work. CP Rail replied to that with the payout offer. Pollen said the heritage group remains optimistic that they’ll be able to negotiate a financial settlement that is agreeable to both sides quickly.

“Still hopeful that we’re within weeks of an agreement, if not days,” said Pollon. “While it’s a bit disappointing to be at this point, the main objective of the Minnedosa Heritage was to make sure the building remained an important and valuable part

of our community. It will be, though not in the way we had envisioned.”

The station was built in 1910. It was last used as a train station in 1960. However, CP continued to use it as office space until 2000.

As for what may be next for Minnedosa Heritage after a deal has been struck, the group’s next move could include the construction of a smaller scale replica building, in conjunction with the Heritage Village.

“We’ve formulated a gentleman’s agreement to build a replica building down there with Heritage Village. A few ideas that are being considered. All this is still in the very early stages.

It might be in the style of the original train station, that burnt down. We’ll also look at grant options, so these are things that are still to be decided. At this point, we’re just waiting to hear back from CP. Hopefully, we can move forward from this and get started on something positive for the community,” said Pollon.

The importance of having a marketing plan

By Gary Smart Farm Management Specialist, Manitoba Agriculture If you want to maintain a profitable farm business, developing and evaluating a marketing plan is essential.

Having a solid marketing plan in place will help you make sound decisions that minimize risk and improve your returns. A successful plan needs to be assessed on an individual farm basis, as every farm has different financial needs and what returns are required for it to be profitable.

Here are some important aspects to consider when creating a marketing plan: Know your cost of production This should be the starting point and cornerstone of any marketing plan.

Knowing the cost of production is the first step in deciding what a profitable grain price is. This is because you can determine the break even price per bushel, based on realistic numbers (average yield projections/actual yields), and can determine what price is required to lock in an acceptable profit.

Prior to the growing season, it is important to sit down and plan what crops look the most favourable, analyse your costs and do your projections to see what will provide the most profitable returns.

Every year, Manitoba Agriculture publishes Cost of Production guidelines that can help you through this process. You can find them at manitoba. ca/agriculture/businessand-economics/financialmanagement/cost-of-production.html.

Monitor and analyse world events and their effects on market trends When crops, and consequently yields, are affected throughout the world, supply and demand becomes the main driver of market prices. If yields are being negatively affected throughout the world, supply becomes an issue and may create an opportunity to lock in optimal prices. Companies and end users, fearing a shortfall in production, may offer premiums to compete for your commodities, which can often drive prices up.

When ample supply is being projected, prices will often stay the same, or even go down.

As a result, it becomes important to monitor how harvest is progressing. If the actual harvest comes in below projections, it may be possible to see an increase in price. Continually analyzing the market and world events becomes a key component of a marketing plan, as closely monitoring supply and demand allows you to take advantage when favourable price fluctuations occur.

However, it is also important to assess your own fields and determine their potential before committing to quantities or qualities, because these factors that drive prices may also be affecting your crops.

Use available tools and resources Don’t get too caught up in the daily information and what it all means.

Work with trusted pro-

fessionals who can give insight to where the markets are at, where they may be heading and any contracting options that are available.

Communicate with buyers This is beneficial in the event that a deal becomes available, so stay in touch with your buyers to take advantage of these opportunities.

Companies often have different contracts that allow for different pricing strategies that may provide a greater benefit when pricing commodities. Do your research to determine which one suits your operation.

Be aware of contract legalities Most contracts have penalties and consequences if they are not fulfilled, so be aware of any premiums and discounts before signing. Once you commit, contracts can be very costly to get out of if you do not meet the criteria.

If the contract has an act of God clause, this may help reduce some of the risk. If weather conditions have affected your crops, holding off until they’re in the bin and you know what you have may be the best approach.

Keeping good samples and binning crop separately can also help ensure your quality is consistent, and hopefully avoid discounts from mixing bad quality with good quality.

Consider storage requirements and bill payment deadlines If you have inadequate storage and consistently

have to sell off the combine, locking you in to accepting a price when prices tend to be at their lowest, it may pay to build a few extra bins to be able to hold grain longer to allow you to wait for more favourable prices.

NEEPAWA BANNER JUNE 17, 2016 A9

Marketing plans help manage and reduce risk Continued from page 8 Your financial position and cash flow obligations are also very crucial components to a marketing plan. Cash flow around bill payment deadlines is very important to maintaining your farm’s viability. Some producers will let bills go unpaid in hopes of a few extra cents a bushel, when their interest on that bill plus the damage they’ve done to their credit rating far exceeds the advantage of a higher price. Taking advantage of interest free cash advances will allow you to meet your financial obligations, while holding onto your grain to wait for more favourable prices.

Planning and monitoring the markets well ahead of time may allow you to forward contract and lock in favourable prices when companies are offering deals ahead of harvest time. Some of these contracts may allow you to sell off the combine, providing immediate cash flow while also eliminating the need for storage. Forward contracting will also allow you to contract and sell your grain when financial obligations are due.

As new technologies, varieties and advances in agriculture continue to occur, the potential for higher production from year to year increases.

Typically, when there is little grain movement, companies will honour existing contracts before taking spot deliveries. As a result, using forward marketing with pricing mechanisms backed by delivery agreements becomes even more important to your market plan, especially if cash flow and financial obligations are required during these times.

Having a pre-set marketing plan, and sticking to it in a disciplined manner, is an important factor to avoid unnecessary price risk. Make sure to analyze and evaluate your marketing plan and strategy on a regular basis.

Conclusion Marketing should be an ongoing activity and your plan should be reviewed regularly to make sure it is working for your operation. You don’t always have to stick 100 per cent

Thanks for reading

the Banner

to your plan, because there will be times when adjustments are necessary, but continue to monitor it closely and be prepared to make changes if and when they’re required.

Marketing plans are designed to help manage and reduce as much risk as possible. They should meet and hopefully exceed your cost to produce that

crop, satisfy cash flow requirements throughout the year, remove emotional or panic selling and reduce stress. Every farm’s situation and obligations are different, but hopefully you can develop a marketing strategy on how and when to sell your grain and make it work to your advantage.

Manitoba Agriculture has developed tools for

producers to use as part of their marketing plan.

These tools can be found on the marketing management page of the Manitoba Agriculture web page. One tool, called MarketPlan, allows you to keep track of your grain production and sales and calculate breakeven and revenue based on input producer costs. It can be found here:

manitoba.ca/agriculture/ business-and-economics/ marketing-management/ index.html.

MyFarm is a more in depth crop planning workbook. It can help you analyze your whole farm on a cash basis, but it also contains a marketing component, so you can calculate revenues and profitability.

MyFarm can be found here:

manitoba.ca/agriculture/ business-and-economics/ financial-management/ myfarm.html.

For more information on either of these programs, contact your local farm management specialist by visiting: manitoba.ca/ agriculture/business-andeconomics/farm-businessmanagement-contacts. html.

On Saturday, June 11, Giant Tiger celebrated the re-opening of its store in Neepawa. Over a period of 12 weeks, fixtures and fittings were replaced and the store was enhanced by bright yellow walls and new graphics.

Curtis Keber, who manages both the Brandon and Neepawa locations,said, “Considering we remained open during the renovation, changes went relatively smoothly. We received help from a special head office team, who assisted in setting up fixtures and relocated merchandise. A challenge presented itself one day when 25 skids of fixtures were received to go on the sales floor.

This is one of the company's smallest stores, but performs well. This is a new concept for all stores, providing more customer space, individual department locations. The wall as you enter the store gives a ‘de-compression’ effect, enabling customers to focus on merchandise areas.”

Keber commented that space for ‘basics’ was increased and fresh meat has been added. This he said, “Was to complete the shop.

We provide everything [shoppers] need for meals.

It's fresh, good quality and at a reasonable price.”

The store employs 20 staff and was opened six years ago. Brandon is expected to commence refitting this week, so the ‘Neepawa experience’ will be beneficial.

Roadley/Callens victorious at CN Future Links Prairie Championship

By Taylor Craig Golf Canada Following a 90 minute delay due to lightning, the final round of the 2016 CN Future Links Prairie Championship got underway beneath overcast skies at Neepawa Golf and Country Club. Camryn Roadley and Peyton Callens played through the difficult conditions to each claim two stroke victories and the titles of Junior Girls and Junior Boys champions.

Back-to-back birdies on holes four and five gave Winnipeg’s Roadley an early push ahead of weekendleader Shirin Anjarwalla.

The 17-year-old carded a 2-over 74 which included three birdies and seven consecutive pars to begin the back nine.

“The last couple of days I played really well. The course is in great shape and played really nice for me,” she said. “My playing partners Shirin and Julie played really well too, so it was nice to have someone pushing me the entire way.”

Anjarwalla of Nanaimo, BC, entered the day having held the 18 and 36 hole leads. The 16-year-old was unable to hold off the advances of Roadley and finished in second at 13over 229.

Roadley was excited to see the growth in her game since her first foray into the event at the 2012 edition.

(L to R) Camryn Roadley of Winnipeg, MB and Peyton Callen of Langton, ON won the 2016 CN Future Links Champions in Neepawa over the weekend.

“One of my first tournaments was the Prairie Future Links where I came last. To now actually be at the top is a nice change.”

Julie (Younsoo) Ju of West Vancouver, BC, held onto third-place for a second straight day after matching Roadley’s 2-over performance.

All competitors within the top six, including ties, in the Junior Girls Division have earned exemptions into the Canadian Junior Girls Championship at The Links at Penn Hills in Shubenacadie, NS, August 2-5. Roadley, Anjarwalla, and Ju will be joined by Bobbi Uhl (Erickson, Man.),

Kate (Dahye) Choi (Surrey, BC), and Rebecca Kuik (Winnipeg).

Peyton Callens of Langton, ON., came into the final round sporting a fourstroke lead over Victoria’s Keaton Gudz. The pair would play out a seesaw affair throughout the day, but a six-birdie, even-par

showing would secure Callens the victory.

“Throughout the week, I thought I played very well,” said the 16-year-old, who finished 4-under 212.

“Keaton and I were battling all day. After the first two holes, we were already tied, so after that point, I just had to focus on me.”

Callens’s sights are now set on the challenge of competing at the national championship. “I missed the cut for the Canadian Junior Boys last year, so I’m going to practice and play every day. I’ll continue playing tournaments along the way to keep my competition level up.”

Winnipeg’s Marco Trstenjak tallied six birdies, including four across a bogey-free back nine, to climb into third-place. The 16-year-old’s 4-under 68 tied for the low-round in the competition. CN Future Links Quebec champion Callum Davison claimed fourth.

With the day’s result, Callens, Gudz, Trstenjak, and Davison all gained entry into the 2016 Canadian Junior Boys Championship at Clovelly Golf Club in St. John’s, NL, from August 1-4. Keenan Flemming and Ryan McMillan prevailed in a two-hole playoff to break a threeway tie for fifth and earn the final two exemptions.

Two additional CN Future Links Championships will be played this season.

The next is the CN Future Links Western in Medicine Hat, AB. That’ll take place July 4-6. Following that event will be the CN Future Links Atlantic from July 12-14 in Fairview, PEI. Article reprinted with permission from Golf Canada

Positive reaction to Neepawa golf course

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The Neepawa Golf and Country Club (NGCC) offered a considerable challenge to some of Canada’s best young golfers last weekend, during the 2016 CN Futures Links Prairie Championship. The event is part of a series of tournaments in which the top six junior boys and junior girls players received exemptions for the national championships, which are scheduled for August.

NGCC general manager and CPGA golf professional Landon Cameron said many of the just under 70 competitors commented to him that they felt the course was a great challenge.

“We heard a lot of complements from the players and the representatives from the tournament about the conditions of the course. They felt it was in very good shape,” said Cameron. “For many of the competitors, they also expressed a bit of surprise, when it came to the elevation changes you see out there. Many golfers

from British Columbia and Alberta were expecting a flatter course. It’s what they expected being on the prairies. What they saw out there though, was much similar to what they are use to seeing in BC. They said it was a pleasant surprise.”

As for the hard work of the grounds crew and the local volunteers who assisted with the national event, Cameron said their efforts could not go unrecognized.

“The grounds crew really did an amazing job preparing the course for the weekend. There is so much work that goes unseen to keep it in such good condition. There were a lot of early mornings and staying late that occurred to make everything pristine,” noted Cameron. “As well, there were about 60 volunteers who were involved. Many members of the club and the community at large, gave of their time to ensure the event was a success.

It’s quite nice to see people step up in this manner and that effort was noticed and appreciated by the golfers, their families and Golf Canada.”

Provincial High School Track and Field Championship

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Track and field athletes with Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) had an impressive weekend at the Milk MHSAA Provincial Championship. A handful of competitors made it to the finals in their respective events and also posted personal bests, while challenging themselves against the top athletes from across Manitoba.

NACI closed out the event, which took place June 9-11 in Brandon, with a grand total of five medals, including one gold, one silver and three bronze.

Neepawa’s Ben Perrett secured a third place finish in the finals of the junior varsity boys 400 metre, with a time of 53.76 seconds.

As well, Matthew McKay topped the boys 200 metre dash special needs, with a run time of 27.72 seconds. That impressive time was almost two-seconds better than the silver medal winner. NACI’s

George Morfitt, meanwhile, finished fourth with a time of 33.52 seconds.

McKay followed that performance up with a second place finish in the 100 metre dash, with a track time of 13.77 seconds.

Morfitt followed closely in fourth at 16.24.

Stephanie Morfitt earned a third place finish in both the girls 100 and 200 metre dash special needs with times of 21.92 seconds and 51.95 seconds respectively.

Other significant highlights from the weekend included the improvement of Zoie Forgue from last year. The junior varsity student improved from a 39th place finish last year in the 100 metre to a fifth place finish this year and a personal best of 13.05 seconds.

As well, Taryn McConechy finished eighth in the junior varsity girls shot put with a throw of 8.13 metres and Braden Gillies secured a top ten provincial finish in the junior varsity boys triple jump, with a ninth place finish and a finals jump of 11.37 metres.

Alonsa wins provincial ‘A’ track title Submitted The Neepawa Banner Alonsa School has a high school population of 40 and lacks the athletic facilities enjoyed by larger schools. However, this was not apparent over the weekend at the MHSAA MILK Provincial Track and Field Championships in Brandon, as the seven student team out ran, out jumped and out threw the competition to earn the provincial ‘A’ title.

Of the seven participants, three earned medal status in the tetrathlon which includes the 100 metre, 800 metre, shot put and long jump (Brooklyn Knaggs-junior varsity girls silver, Tyson Fiddler-junior varsity boys bronze, and Caleb Rudkewich-varsity boys bronze). Both Rudkewich and Knaggs captured their medals on the last event of the tetra (800 metre), despite entering the event in fourth place overall. Knaggs’ 800 metre

MJHL off-season update Submitted The Neepawa Banner The Manitoba Junior Hockey has eliminated its Survivor Series component of the playoff format, Commissioner Kim Davis announced on Friday, June 10.

Playoffs will begin on Friday, March 10.

The Board of Governors also approved an amendment to the league’s overtime format. It will consist of one, five-minute sudden death period. Each team will use three skaters and one goaltender. If the game is still tied following the five-minute overtime period, a shoot-out will take place.

Purple martin house builder builds one more “I rough cut my plywood into lengths, then I start using the jigs. Mostly, I use table saw and a cutoff saw.

I build the four boxes for the houses first. I put the roofs on, then I build the carrier,” he says.

A few times, Gord has custom-painted to suit a buyer’s request – usually to match their home’s exterior color.

“They have come back later and said they went

back to red, because the birds weren’t coming. I don’t know what it is, but red paint seems to draw them when they’re looking for a place to nest,” he says.

Building purple martin houses has been a great retirement hobby for the ex-carpenter.

Gord says, “For me, it’s given me an opportunity to keep using my tools and doing what I like to do – working with wood. The

most interesting part is, where they go. The furthest east one is on Manitoulin Island. They’ve gone west into Alberta and Saskatchewan, north to The Pas and south to North Dakota and Minnesota.”

Gaby adds, “We’ve gotten to really enjoy the birds.

They’re phenomenal. I love to hear them first thing in the morning. They’re singing away. You go outside and they’re flying around.

Gord Oleksuk stands with one of his purple martin houses.

By John Dietz For The Neepawa Banner It was time to retire 18 years ago, that’s why Gord Oleksuk built a purple martin house. It was something to do.

More than 100 purple martin houses later, he’s still building them in the little shop beside his house at the corner of Highways 10 and 25, north of Brandon.

At 81, Gord says he still has a few left to build. Gaby, his wife, is fine with that for now. Next winter, though, she’d like to be living in Brandon – and the shop may be just a memory.

Gord builds a red-andwhite plywood ‘house’ that gracefully spans six-feet across at the outside peaks.

The martin house has four sides. Each side has a four-storey nesting arrangement, giving it a capacity for 16 nests.

The single-piece face of each side is hooked and hinged, making it easy to open once a year for cleaning.

The nest spaces increase in size at each level, due to the sloping outside walls.

The walls rise to meet a sweeping roof-line, giving an overall impression of open wings, ready to lift off.

Buyers receive five pieces, ready to assemble

with a screwdriver, but able to be transported in a small car, Gord says. The set weighs about 60 to 65 pounds and has two coats of paint.

Buyers need to supply their own post, small winch and cable. He builds it to slide on a 4x4 wood post.

He recommends a treated post that’s 12 to 18 feet long. For stability it needs to be three feet into the ground.

It all started one fall when he asked a neighbor about the graceful birds that were sitting on a hydro line, flocking to leave for the winter. The neighbor said they were called purple martins and were living in his purple martin house.

“I didn’t know what purple martins were at the time, but I went over and had a look at his house. I dreamt up my own plan for one in my head, and put one together,” Gord says.

“We really had good luck.

It filled up the first year. So I built another one. I didn’t get a chance to put it up in spring, so I set it up by the road. I thought, maybe somebody will notice and want to buy one. It’s still there. Then I put a sign up. It says, Purple Martin Houses, and has our phone number. I’ve built well over 100 since then,” he says.

Oleksuk kept track of his

time for building the first house that he sold. After expenses, he only made 90-cents an hour.

“That’s when I got to making jigs and templates, streamlining the work. It saved quite a bit of plywood, too. There wasn’t as much waste,” he says.

Now, when he need to build another one, he can start in the morning with cutting up three sheets of plywood. It can be ready to pick up in about four days.

He uses 5/8-inch plywood for the core or centre piece. He uses half-inch plywood for the side, the back and the front door.

He uses 3/8-inch plywood for the roof. Plus lots of screws, an air-nailer, some hinges and hooks.

Area students learn about human rights issues

By John Drinkwater The Neepawa Banner On June 3, the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) group of Erickson Collegiate Institute (ECI) hosted a Human Rights Conference for Grades 9 to 12. Students from six different schools, including ECI, Elton, MCI, Neepawa, Rivers and Rossburn, took part in an educational and inspirational day of presentations and discussions on some of the human rights issues facing Canadian youth today.

ECI student Emma Gray said during her opening remarks, “As members of the GSA, we work to encourage diversity and safe and inclusive spaces in the school. It is also important to know what we can do if our human rights are violated. We believe that by sharing our stories, we will learn to better understand one another.”

Flag maker, Gilbert Baker was one of the presenters. In 2003 he created a gigantic Rainbow Flag that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean in Key West. Sections of this were then sent to more than 100 cities around the world.

During the afternoon, students took part in a tie dye activity in which supplied t-shirts were dyed with a variety of colours commemorating this conference. ECI teacher and organizer, Julie Collyer commented that students were pleased with the event and another might be planned for 2017, which would include other aspects of Human Rights.

Classifieds Obituary Lloyd Harold Keast

October 16, 1930 – June 8, 2016 Lloyd died quietly Wednesday night at Victoria Hospital after a long battle with a familial tremor and Parkinson’s disease. His passing suited his character. He was a kind and gentle man who seldom demanded centre stage. The little he said was always worth hearing and his life was rich with experience. His five-year naval career included a trip through the Panama Canal and across the Atlantic to be inspected by Queen Elizabeth II during her Coronation ceremonies. The navy also gave him the electronics training that eventually led to work at two DEW line sites in the Canadian Arctic, a job for Bristol Aerospace during the construction of the Avro Arrow, and a decade of work for Bell Canada installing and maintaining transmission towers throughout northwestern Ontario. Then he retired and worked even harder on his Woodside, Manitoba farm for more than 25 years.

Lloyd’s family is planning a private memorial service for friends and family on a date yet to be scheduled.

Lloyd’s remains will join his first wife, Hazel, at Brookdale, Manitoba in a private ceremony. Lloyd’s second wife, Agnes Copping, resides in Gladstone, Manitoba. Lloyd’s surviving children and grandchildren will pass on tales of his character and his sense of humour to his numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. In lieu of gifts, flowers and cards, the family welcomes donations in Lloyd’s name to Parkinson’s research.
