Lofamia: ‘It’s something I will never forget’

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner On June 1, Paula Lofamia, of Neepawa, returned from a month-long volunteer trip to Madagascar. She left on April 27 and spent four weeks as an OR nurse with a Christian organization called Mercy Ships.

The ship is called the Africa Mercy and it is essentially a floating hospital that docks at coastal developing countries to provide free health care to people in need.

It was docked at Madagascar while Lofamia was on it.

“They have five ORs, they have lab services, they have CT and x-ray departments [on the Africa Mercy],” Lofamia explained, adding there is also a pharmacy and a blood bank. “We, volunteers are the blood bank of the Ship,” she noted. “I’ve never been so close to a workplace. [My cabin] was literally five steps away from the OR.” The experience was everything she thought it would be. “I’ve read a lot about Mercy Ships, so it’s like living the surreal information that you read,” she explained.

“It was really good. When people ask how’s my experience with Mercy Ships and in Madagascar, I always say that it’s something I will never forget and I’m happy I’ve done it. It’s an experience that I would love to do again and something that I will strongly recommend for other people.”

“It’s different [than here in Neepawa], because here I work shift work, but on the ship I worked 9:00 to 5:00, Monday to Friday and then on call [on the weekends].”

Lofamia said that the nurses usually had two or three on call shifts, leaving the ones who were volunteering for four weeks with at least one weekend off. However, there were some volunteers who were only there for two weeks, so they wouldn’t be able to have a weekend off to tour Madagascar. Lofamia said she was able to help a couple of the nurses by taking their on call shifts, letting them go and see the sights before they had to leave.

She was able to have a little bit of time for herself as well, though. “I had a weekend that we went to another island,” she said, “I was able to see and pet lemurs.” Lofamia, who immigrated to Canada from the

actually look like one of them,” she noted. “They have Malaysian and Indonesian influence, which is the same as the Philippines... so it’s funny, I blended in.”

Her favourite part about the experience was how close she felt with the patients. “Here in Canada... there’s a distance between a health care provider and a patient, a line between. But when a patient knows that the health care provider came voluntarily to render service that they needed so bad, that barrier is broken,” she explained. “They are very thankful and it’s very fulfilling for someone that went there to lend a helping hand...

I can feel the difference.” She continued, “I experience praying for patients here, I know that’s not usual... I’ve done it secretly here as patients ask, but in Madagascar, we offer it to every patient that will undergo surgery...

I have not seen a single person while I was there that declined to be prayed for.”

“The other part I liked about my experience is meeting people from all over the world,” she added. “It’s funny, it’s not just me that has an accent, everybody has an accent.”

Lofamia enjoyed her trip so much she wants to encourage other people to get involved in Mercy Ships or another volunteer organization. “I don’t know how, but I would love to be an advocate for Mercy Ships, or for any organization,” she said. “It’s important that the message gets passed on that the world needs a helping hand...

What’s more encouraging is when you see people and hear people who are interested in volunteering, not for the sake of being known, but for the sake of helping.”

Lofamia wanted to express her gratitude to the community for their encouragement. “The community of Neepawa is very supportive and also the church that I belong to, the International Worship Centre. They really have provided good support in all aspects – in prayers, in wishing me well, even the financial. Also the support I got from my co-workers, I would not be the nurse I am now if not for Neepawa Hospital and the things I learn from the people I work with. I wouldn’t be able to have this experience without their support.”

Then on Saturday, there will be a judged lily show at 1:00 pm, followed by live music and pulled pork on a bun from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Sunday morning starts off with a pancake breakfast from 9:00 to 10:00 am. There will be a lily

show going on from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm throughout the day. And from 10:00 to 11:00 am, there will be a treasure hunt organized for the kids.

Lily Daze is meant to help celebrate Neepawa as the lily capital of the world in the absence of the Lily Festival.

By Vern May Submitted Two community needs came together to create an innovative solution in Minnedosa this summer, and visitors to the community will reap the benefit. Last week, the community opened a visitor information centre in Tanner's Crossing Park, bringing the iconic Canadian Pacific locomotive and caboose back to life in the process.

The valley community of 2,500 sees a rush of activity throughout the summer, both from the slate of events hosted by the community as well as showcase amenities, including the popular Minnedosa Beach. However, without a centralized visitor information centre, it has been felt that first-time guests may be missing out on some of the community's hidden gems. Discussions began last year at the Tourism committee to re-introduce a seasonal resource for this purpose. The chal-

lenge was identifying a location. When last operated, the visitor information booth was located at the rest stop northwest of town until Council discontinued funding.

At the same time, the community has been exploring options for an exterior renewal of the Tanner's Crossing train, particularly the caboose, which has been showing signs of wear in recent years. The park, and the train itself, are popular attractions for both residents and visitors and have become central to a community theme that has been expanded throughout the town. In recent weeks, fresh paint and the replacement of windows have contributed to a refreshed look on the exterior that has generated a great deal of curiosity to see what's inside.

Marrying the need for a visitor information site with the interest for some renewal of the community attraction set the stage for a visitor information centre to be located in the

train caboose. The centre officially opened in time for the Minnedosa Fun Fest weekend, welcoming dozens of visitors on opening day last Friday. The centre is open seven days a week from 9:30 am to 6 pm and hosts a wealth of local and regional resources on site, as well as some great free Minnedosa souvenirs.

There’s only so much you can do

veryday life seems to take up a person’s whole day.

When worries and troubles hit, everyday life can take up half your night as well. When the summer heat hits and getting a good sleep is made a bit more difficult by an overheated house, everyday life can become overwhelming. Fortunately, we almost always come to the conclusion that there is only so much a person can do.

There’s only 24 hours in the day and you only have so much time to do all your work. The gardens get weedy, the car gets dirty, the paperwork can pile up. The crop spraying and hay cutting gets delayed. Production falls behind. What to do, what to do? Sometimes, it’s a matter of what to do first.

There is in fact only so much a person can do. Some seem to

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell have listened over the years to hundreds of people, sometimes they are very distraught. I get it. Sometimes they have good reason to be distraught, a spouse is dying or they are dying. They may be going broke or suffering great pain. I get it. It’s at those times that there is nothing they or maybe anyone else can do except listen and pray. Give it over to God as He is the one who can carry the burden. We don’t

have huge capacities, others not so much. It can depend on circumstances, age, money, attitude, a lot of things. But the fact remains, we all, at the end of a day, must realize there’s only so much you can do. We need to always look for better ways to do our work, live our lives, tend to our families, whatever. However, we need to follow the advice of an old friend who once told me at the end of a long farm work day: “It’s time to quit, save some work for tomorrow. If tomorrow never comes, it doesn’t matter anyway.” Great wisdom in those words. There is only one thing worse than having too much to do and that’s having nothing to do.

Actually, in Canada, most of us can be very thankful for where we live, what we have, what we have to do and the opportunities that await us. I

have to understand how, or even why, all we need to do is leave the pain and the suffering with God. Easily said, sometimes not so easily done.

Aside from those true trauma events that cause such deep distress and pain, there are many other things that simply shouldn’t trouble us as much as we let them. Like really, the garden is weedy. So? Go and weed a little bit or walk away and don’t look at it. The pile of papers on your desk is too high. Set aside a few minutes some morning and make sure you have a black marker, some files and the recycling bin handy. There are really only two piles for paper, the filing box or the blue bin.

I had to laugh the other day.

The RCMP “rescued” a skunk that had a cup or something on it’s head. Really! We risked two officers getting bit, possibly

contracting rabies, or sprayed by a skunk to save the life of a skunk. Are we nuts. Like shoot the skunk. Hit it with a rock or a shovel already. It’s a skunk and in that situation, it’s a threat to the officers or anyone else it comes in contact with. Wow, I am going to catch a lot of criticism over that statement, but really, a skunk.

I am not one that thinks that every varmint needs to be shot.

If it’s out in the woods and do-

”

ing no harm to man or domestic animals, let it run away. Wish it well. But really, to put people in danger to rescue a skunk?

I tell that little story to bring perspective that we fuss over some really stupid stuff and we really need to get real. If you are having trouble, consider this.

Somewhere in Africa today, there is a young, starving mother. Her baby is sobbing as she has so little milk, her toddler is crying as he is also hungry. It’s hot and sultry and they have to somehow walk a few more miles to her mother-inlaw’s hut in the hope that there will be some food there. Now, compared to her problems, you don’t have much to worry about.

Yes, there’s only so much you can do, so make a decision. Do something, or maybe do nothing and just take a rest. One way or another, it will all work out.

ealth is one of the most important issues facing any person. Our jobs, our relationships and how we are able to live our lives are all dictated by our health– anyone who has known someone with ailing health knows this to be true.

This is why our health care system is so important, and why we spend so much on it. In Manitoba, it’s the largest single p r o v i n c i a l MY government PERSPECTIVE expenditure. In the 2016 budget, h e a l t h ate spending acackman tkinson counted for over $6 million of the total planned expenditures of just over $16 billion. If you add together the next two largest areas of expenditure, Education and Families, they don’t even total the amount spent on Health.

So just how are we doing in this important and expensive area?

No health care system can be perfect and we are constrained by the realities of limited resources– financial, physical and human. We face shortages of physicians and nurses, we face wait times for surgical suites and access to advanced diagnostics and we face the grim reality that at a certain point, perNo health care system forming procedures can be perfect. aren’t economically viable for a publicly funded health care system.

Understanding the constraints, we still want to know how we’re doing and how we compare to Canadians in other jurisdictions. Being able to compare information from across Canada gives us a chance to look at other Canadians, with a similar health care system, and see where we are lacking or where we are excelling.

Statistics Canada gathers health information from across the country to facilitate such analysis. The data tells an interesting story. The 10 and 3, a website that uses statistics to tell stories about Canada and Canadians, published an article last year looking at the healthiest and least healthy areas in Canada. The authors used data from provincial health authorities, which offered the most localized information available.

They used StatsCan’s 2013 Health Profile and looked at the rate of asthma, diabetes and cancer; access to medical doctors; daily smoking rate; rate of overweight residents; and perceived mental health to paint a picture of the residents’ health. These figures were compiled to create a composite health ranking.

The data showed a distinct urban-rural divide, bad news for Manitoba’s mostly rural population. The 10 unhealthiest regions in Canada were rural, while the 10 healthiest were in urban or metro areas.

But the data doesn’t tell the whole story. Mostly because it can’t– there isn’t health information for all of the regional authorities. For example, for the Assiniboine Regional Health Authority (the data precedes amalgamation), there is no data about many health factors, including smoking rates or obesity. Across the prairies, there isn’t the statistical data needed to paint an accurate picture of Canadians’ health.

A lack of quality data can only lead to difficulties in making good decisions about the health needs of area residents. Between an aging population and rising levels of obesity and diabetes, it’s never been more important to have an accurate picture of Manitobans’ health. Unfortunately, in many cases, all we can see is a blank canvas.

Opinion ‘That won’t be a problem’

JULY 15, 2016

S

everal years ago, while living in another city, I learned a valuable lesson in acceptance. It came thanks to an encounter with a couple in their mid-20s who were looking for someone to officiate at their wedding. The first of several visits we would have came after a phone call I received from the groom-to-be. He had some questions for me and I told him I would do my best to answer them.

“We don’t attend church,” he said. “Will that be a problem?

“No,” I said, “that won’t be a problem—because you can fix that at 11 a.m. next Sunday.”

He laughed. I laughed.

The ice was broken and he posed his next question. “I am Catholic and my fiancé is Protestant. Will that be a problem?”

“No,” I said, “that won’t be a problem. But you will need to have a serious discussion about how you will raise your children; because you will be pressured to raise them in one church

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein or the other. You need to have a plan in place to deal with that.” He assured me that they did.

“We have been living together for seven years,” he said. “Will that be a problem?”

“No,” I said, “that won’t be a problem—because that is history and I can’t undo it.”

He paused for a while and then said: “We’d like to come and see you at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Will that be a problem?”

“No,” I said, “that won’t be a problem.” And so they came to see me.

Their first question was: “Neil, what makes you tick? We have been to see five other ministers; and everything I asked you on the phone was a problem for them. Why wasn’t it a

problem for you?”

“Before I answer your question,” I said, “I’d like you to answer mine. Why do you want to get married?”

He paused for a moment and then shared their story.

They had fallen in love while they were in high school, had dated for two years after graduation and then moved in together.

They had a good relationship and it was getting stronger every day.

“One day we started talking about having children,” he said, “and then it hit us.

We looked at each other and said: ‘Why are we prepared to commit ourselves to be parents of children when we aren’t prepared to commit ourselves to each other as husband and wife?’ So we want to do this right. We want to commit ourselves

to each other first—and then become parents.”

“I had a hunch that’s what you’d say,” I told them. “That’s why none of the issues you raised are problems for me. You’ve told me that there’s something missing in your relationship, that you know what it is and that you want to take steps to fill that void. I want to help you; so before either of us changes our mind, let’s have a wedding and let’s have a party.”

That’s what we did; and a year later, they became the proud parents of twin girls.

One of these days I am going to stand before God; and if he should ask me why I met with this couple and agreed to help them make their wedding day one they would always remember, my answer will be something like this: “Lord, I have tried to treat them in the same way you, for Jesus’ sake, treated me. I welcomed them into my life just as they were; but I loved them too much to leave them that way.”

Saskatoons…

S

ome of the bushes growing in the garden were planted on this yard over twenty years ago. Chris and Ken had them nicely growing when Ed bought the place from them. I didn’t like where they were, so I moved them. Twice. Their growth has been considerable.

Another variety was given to us when our daughter worked at the Saskatoon farm in Saskatoon. I tried them in more than one location before they took root.

Now, on the south edge of the garden, is an impressive stand of berry bushes.

This spring, we had a late frost and I was certain that heavy blossoms would be rendered sterile. Quite the opposite occurred. Every blossom took and I have watched with amazement as fruit matured and the branches began to bend under the weight of the developing crop.

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen I am reluctant to share the berries with the birds.

Any creature bigger than that will win, but with the birds, I have a fighting chance. A few years ago, I purchased a netted tent to encase the big bush.

The wind won that round, thankfully after the majority of the harvest was safely gathered. Last year, I found another net tent, and, corner to corner, it protected the bearing berry bush. This year, the bush was ever so much wider and taller the tent would not fit. And to purchase another, larger one – well, I could buy a mess of berries for that price. So this year I

Observation

By Addy Oberlin ll we have seen this week is a cloudy sky with off and on severe rain and, in some places, even golfball sized hail. The weatherman has been pretty close in predicting the right kind of weather. People are planning to go on holidays, maybe even thinking of camping and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. However, wind, rain and thunder can spoil anyone’s holidays.

The gardeners saw their lettuce shredded and their tomatoes broken off. Some of the fields with ripening

used the tent to cover the newer bushes. No poles, the firm shape allows for wind lifts. A couple of pegs and a bit of rope. Covers most of them. Wondering how to protect the rest of the crop, I wandered the yard and out buildings.

There, crumpled in a dejected heap, was the netting that once sheltered a patio table set. Eureka! No poles needed, just drape the mesh over the plants and anchor the edges with a couple of rocks. Perfect!

And berries there were!

Two plants in the middle were uncovered so I gleaned them regularly.

The shrouds on either

side did deter the birds, so there was minor crop loss. I am sorely lacking motivation some days, so when the pick needed to be done, I called in help. One of my friends enjoys berry picking and even after supplying his household and sharing with others, he came and helped me pick.

The big bush has smaller, tastier berries, and picking from the young ones was delightful. Actually stripping hands full of fruit into the bucket. Fast picking.

After an hour we each had filled an ice cream pail, the day was hot, my energy spent. It was enough.

I recovered the small bush, I want more easy picking, but have left the tall bush open. So to those who wonder why there were tent like shrouds in my garden – I don’t do well at sharing my saskatoons with the birds until I have my full portion.

grain were also damaged.

What if we go to the library and find some good books to read? We can live and dream in a world of make believe or read about some mystery and how it is solved.

Many of us have a Bible at home. We can read wherever we are. I start my day with reading a portion of Scripture and then read the everyday application. It helps to start the day.

God told Joshua to not let the Book of the Law (the Bible) depart from his mouth, but to meditate (study) in it day and night (Joshua 1:8).

Let us not forget our Bible when we go on holidays this summer.

Say no to community mailboxes We, at the Canadian Union of Postal Workers are pleased that after the statement of the Honourable MaryAnn Mihychuk, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, the crown corporation, Canada Post, withdrew its 72 hour lock out notice on its employees and returned to the negotiating table. Hopefully, this will enable Canadians and business to utilize their public post offices without interruption.

Meanwhile, the corporation’s tentacles continue to reduce services across the country. Right here in Neepawa, the pursuit of forcing residents to redirect their mail to unsightly, expensive, impersonal community mailboxes continues. The community needs to know that these boxes bring with them liabilities that are often not discussed in advance: frozen locks and doors, slips and falls, unsightly garbage, vandalism, and stolen goods to name a few. Moreover, Canada Post has not even sought discussion on opportunities to better utilize existing boxes nor space in our local post office. There, a full range of services await our residents, safe and secure, established with no extra costs to the taxpayers of our community.

One or two community mailboxes will lead to more, and a further disintegration of complete services available for all, in our land of plenty, Neepawa.

Help us help you. Call, write or visit our Member of Parliament, Robert Sopuck, our Mayor Adrian de Groot or any or all town councillors and let your voice be heard. Community mailboxes are not welcome here! Together, we can stop this.

This community is based on unity, enabling a full range of products and services to be available for all, and the continued support of viable employment opportunities for days to come.

Highways Department hearing to be held Municipal councillors Because the property is within a Future uses of Hwy. 5 and 16 sue radio station highway protected zone, property being explored

By Ken Waddell The Neepawa Banner Rumours are rampant about the possible future usage of the land and buildings locally known as the Evans Bowling Lanes and the former Mr. Ribs Restaurant. Both have been closed for a while and coffee shop talk has been actively exploring the future.

In the July 8, 2016 issue of The Neepawa Banner, an ad was placed by The Highway Traffic Board that

“

indicates a hearing will be held on July 20 at 9:30 a.m. at the Brandon Provincial Building. Zach Penner of T.L. Penner Construction out of Kola, Manitoba said his company is providing some due diligence around an application on behalf of a client. The ad states that there is an application for a building, paved parking area with curbing and the removal of two buildings (commercial) adjacent to PTH No. 5.

Penner said, “Because the property is within a high-

any possible development has to be pre-approved by the Highway Traffic Board.

”

–Zach Penner, T.L. Penner Construction way protected zone, any possible development has to be pre-approved by the Highway Traffic Board.”

Any possible future usage would have to meet highways requirements, that is the purpose of the hearing.

Anyone wishing to make a submission can do so in person or in writing but

has to contact the board in advance. Details are in the July 8 ad.

Penner says he wasn’t at liberty to release who the potential developer might be yet. Any project that may be in the works will have to receive approval from the Highway Traffic Board before proceeding.

Victor Walk coming to Neepawa

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner A former NHLer’s effort to raise awareness about the issue of childhood sexual abuse is bringing that message to Neepawa.

Theoren Fleury, most well known for his time as a player with the Calgary Flames, will be in the community on Wednesday, July 20 for the fourth annual Victor Walk.

Fleury started the Victor Walk in 2013 for those learning to overcome their childhood trauma, after he realized how many

other people have faced childhood sexual abuse.

Recent research from Statistics Canada suggests that one of every three girls and one of every six boys

has used the walk to help change the way Canadians understand the effects of childhood trauma. The first walk involved Fleury and a small group travel-

Fleury, who himself is a survivor of sexual abuse, has used the walk to help change the way Canadians understand the effects of childhood trauma experience some type of unwanted traumatic event before they are 18 years of age. Fleury, who himself is a survivor of sexual abuse,

ling from Toronto to Ottawa over the span of 10 days. Since that time, the movement has grown to a national level, supported

by communities across the country.

Locally residents wishing to be involved with the Victor Walk are asked to gather at the Yellowhead Centre at 11:00 am, on July 20th. Members of the community will then walk from the Yellowhead Centre, around Park Lake and back to the Yellowhead Centre. Lunch will follow from 12:00 - 1:00 pm.

Those unable to attend Neepawa’s Victor Walk who still wish to support the movement are asked to visit their website at www. victorwalk.com.

Radio station facing multiple lawsuits Banner Staff The Neepawa Banner A second lawsuit has been filed against Bill Gade, the owner and operator of CJ 97.1 radio. The Municipality of Swan Valley West has filed a statement of claim against Gade and Stillwater Broadcasting Limited, a company based out of Swan River, which also operates CJ 97.1 FM, which broadcasts in the Neepawa area. The following statement is being released on behalf of the municipality via media release; Mr. Gade has said many untrue things about council members, municipal staff and persons who have done work for the muni-

cipality. These dishonest statements and comments are unfair, inappropriate and defamatory. The statements are crafted and designed to cause harm to the reputations of good and honest people. The statements have also been very destructive to the families and relationships of those who have been the focus of Mr. Gade’s disparaging comments.

These are people who are trying to do their best to provide municipal services and make the municipality a better place in which to live and work. The Members of Council felt it was their responsibility to protect the municipal staff, protect people who were performing works for

the municipality, protect members of council and stop the dissemination of things that were simply not true. In order to restore the integrity of all those hurt by the inaccurate and unfair comments and restore the management/ operations of the municipality, which has been damaged by the malicious comments, Council determined some action had to be taken.

The harmful remarks and the destruction they are causing could not be allowed to continue. In order to be fair to Mr. Gade, Council requested that he stop broadcasting his inappropriate remarks in a letter. He made a conscious decision not to do

so. We respect Mr. Gade’s right to fair comment and criticism of Municipal Council, employees and others. However, that fair comment and criticism crosses a line where it imputes/implies (without any basis in truth) illegal and dishonest conduct of Council, employees and individuals working with the Municipality, Specific details of the suit are available in the statement of claim. A copy may be obtained through the Registrar’s Office, Court of Queen’s Bench.

At this time, none of these claims have been proven in a court of law.

Defamation by broadcaster due to ‘malice’ alleged

By Carol Sanders Winnipeg Free Press A rural Manitoba radio station and the on-air personality who runs it are being sued for defamation by members of the local municipal council for accusing them of unethical and illegal activity.

The lawsuit filed in a Winnipeg court says the actions of Swan River’s CJSB 104.5 FM and its general manager Bill Gade go beyond political commentary and have specifically targeted individual council members and municipal employees.

The court action claims a smear campaign by the station that calls itself "the Voice of the Valley" has been going on since 2013 but the defamation was motivated by "malice" following Gade’s failure to win a seat on the Municipality of Swan Valley West council in a 2015 byelection.

It says Gade sent a letter to the minister of justice at the time, James Allum, accusing his opponent David Minish of violating election expense rules, using his NDP political connections to avoid punishment for illegal activities and conspiring with the municipality’s economic development officer to defame and defeat Gade on social media.

In March 2015, the Free Press reported that RCMP were investigating after a fake Facebook account was created that purported to be Gade’s. The account’s profile picture showed two horses in sexually explicit positions. In an interview at the time, Gade said he was worried the fake account could cost him the election.

RCMP said Thursday the matter is still under investigation so they could not comment.

The statement of claim filed recently by the municipal councillors says the radio station owned by Stillwater Broadcasting Ltd. had T-shirts made and distributed to the public with phrases such as "Bullying Rate Payers," "Hiring Best Friends" and "Breaking the Law" on them.

On air, the radio station went after the municipal council members and administrators, the lawsuit says.

It broadcast statements alleging municipal staff were mistreated and accused councillors of abusing their power to hire friends, the statement of claim alleges. It was part of a calculated effort to embarrass the municipal council, instil "distrust and hatred for the plaintiffs in the community," cause them financial harm and have them removed or fired from their positions and jobs in the community, it said.

In January, Gade told listeners to drive to Benito to see Reeve Verne Scouten. "Make his day a living hell until he gets the scope of the problem and gets the idea he has to fix it."

Later that month he announced on air he was "taking apart Swan Valley West council brick by brick to see what secrets they may be hiding," the court filing says. "May God have mercy on their souls and give their lawyer the wisdom to recommend against a full-out war with the radio station."

The statement of claim they filed in response says the actions of Gade and the radio station caused them "mental suffering" and "go beyond bounds of decency."

Without specifying a dollar amount, they say such "intolerable behaviour" is deserving of "substantial exemplary and punitive damages."

No statement of defence has yet been filed.

New details emerge about alleged assault

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner In the July 1 edition of the Neepawa Banner reported that local resident Ivan Traill had been

charged with assault.

Additional information has become available.

On Nov. 6, 2015, Bill

Gade, the owner of CJ97 radio, broadcast an editorial in which he said he had been sexually assaulted

by Ivan Traill. Spruce Plains RCMP acting Staff Sergeant Mark Morehouse

confirmed that the incident which Gade spoke of publicly is the one that led to the charge against Traill. However, the charge Traill faces is for assault, not sexual assault.

In his editorial, Gade also said that others had come forward to him with similar stories. Morehouse told The Banner that no other allegations of sexual assault were brought

forward to them and that the charge against Traill is in relation to only one incident, involving one person.

None of the charges have been proven in court.

One dead in hit and run

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The Blue Hills detachment of the RCMP are investigating a fatal hit and run near Carberry. On Saturday, July 9, at around 3:30 am, police received a report of an unresponsive male lying in the middle of Highway 5, just south of the Sand Hills Casino.

Officers and emergency services arrived on the scene and found the individual near the road, severely injured.

The victim was rushed to hospital, but died due to his injuries. The deceased has been identified as a 22-yearold man from the Swan Lake First Nation.

Following an autopsy performed on July 11, investigators confirmed that the victim had died from an impact by a vehicle. Sgt. Bert Paquet of the Manitoba

RCMP said that they are making a plea to the public for information and witnesses.

“If you believe you might have some information about this case our investigators would like to hear from you,” said Paquet. “Even details that might seem insignificant could potentially be the piece of the puzzle we are looking for in order to move this case forward.”

Manitoba RCMP Forensic Identification Services, Serious Crime Unit, Criminal Collision Investigation Team and a traffic analyst are involved in the ongoing investigation.

Helping Hands barbecue draws a crowd

By Tony Eu The Neepawa Banner

With good weather and a great turnout, the second annual Helping Hands fundraising barbecue was a fantastic success. Formerly the 4-H Helping Hands, the Helping Hands group held a barbecue in the Neepawa ShopEasy Foods parking lot on Friday, July 8 to raise money for the Country Meadows Handy-van trips. The core members of the group are Abigail Plett, Cecilie

Holm, Claire Tomoniko, Richelle Forgue and Rylee Mann, not all of whom are involved with 4-H, thus the name change.

As well as the five young ladies who make up the group, many others volunteered. Rick and Marj Sanford, Sylvie Tomoniko, Ashlee Plett, Marsha Forgue, Trish Boersma and Zoie Forgue all helped the girls to run the barbecue, raffle ticket sales and the candy guessing competition.

“It was a lot of fun,” the girls said. But it was more

than just fun. This year, they raised $1,425.85, almost $400 more than last year. The money raised will go a long way to offset the cost of the handy-van trips, which cost Country Meadows $4,400 last year.

This event would never have been as successful without all the strong support shown by the community. As well as all the individuals who turned up to support the event, a number of local businesses contributed and assisted with the barbecue and raffle.

Minnedosa’s mayor Ray Orr took part in a Shoot the Mayor f u n d r a i s e r, w h i c h r a i s e d m o n e y f o r c o m m u n i t y p r o j e c t s .

By Vern May Submitted Serving in municipal politics, Minnedosa mayor Ray Orr is accustomed to finding himself on the hot seat with the local ratepayers, but this past weekend, he was on the firing line in a whole new arena.

Efforts of a local group of mothers, aligned as “The Minnedosa Beach Enhancement Committee” had made a bid to town council earlier this year, hopeful for some financial support for a proposed renewal of the play structure at Minnedosa's beach area. While Council was unable to find wiggle room in the budget to support the project in 2016-17, that was not due to a lack of support for the

initiative.

The local service clubs have broken down the silos and are partnering with the Minnedosa Beach Enhancement group on a colour run next month, which will serve as a joint community fundraiser for all partner groups and from which partial proceeds will advance the playground project. To promote the run, the group proposed to demonstrate what's in store for patrons at the event as part of the Minnedosa Fun Fest weekend.

The idea of a paint firing range was proposed, with event patrons offered the opportunity to lay down some money for their opportunity to fire the paint cannons. There was no hesitation from Mayor

Orr when contacted to participate and support the community fundraising project.

On Saturday, July 9, it took participants little more than 20 minutes to unload more than five gallons of paint on the community official. The activity drew a large crowd of engaged patrons and saw participants as young as three years old step up to the firing line. Even the first lady, Mrs. Orr, took part in the good natured festivities.

Proceeds from the “Shoot the Mayor” event will be added to the Colour Run event proceeds for later use on community projects and initiatives.

Neepawa Banner Sports Winnipeg golfer wins Neepawa Senior Open A12 NEEPAWA BANNER

JULY 15, 2016

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner There are some days on the links in which you simply can do no wrong. For Jim Franklin of Winnipeg, that day just so happened to coincide with his run towards his first ever Neepawa Senior Open victory. The long time competitor at the event, which is held annually the Neepawa Golf and Country Club (NGCC), was able to conquer the course in dominant fashion, on Monday, July 11, with an impressive two-under par 70. That total was four shots better than the nearest competition and three shot better than last year’s winning score.

Franklin noted that he was able to find his rhythm quickly out there on the course, providing him with a great opportunity at the title.

“I’ve played the Open about four or five times before. This time, everything I went for out there, I made. I ended up with four birdies on the day. I just really was able to hit the ball well. Everything just went in,” said Franklin. “Sometimes you just get in that zone. It was a tremendous challenge out there on the course, but I ended up playing some pretty good golf.”

NGCC general manager and CPGA golf pro Landon Cameron said he was pleased with the event played and the overall response

from the players to the course layout.

“The ground staff should take some personal pride for the response to the course. I think the golf course is in exceptional shape.

The greens were receptive. You can make putts here and be aggressive. The course held up very well and it’s in as good a shape as I’ve ever seen it,” Cameron commented.

“As for the tournament,we had about the same number of participants compared to last year. There was a few late drop outs, but overall, as a golf club, we are very fortunate to have such a following for this event. There’s a waiting list [of interested participants] for the Open every year. It’s really nice to see it grow in stature every year and have so many players come back year after year, from across the province.”

Cameron also thanked the staff in the clubhouse, as well as the grounds staff for their hard work, ensuring the day was a success.

As for the leaderboard, finishing just back on Franklin in the Championship Flight were Rod Klassen (74), Dennis Vande and Gary Barber (77). Greg Fleck won the first flight, with a score of 83. Dave Soroka (87) was on the top of the second flight and Dennis Nodrick was the leader of the third flight, with a round of 89. A total of 139 competitors from across the province participated in the 2016 edition of the Open.

LEON’S

The Neepawa Cubs have opened up the Santa Clara Baseball League playoffs with a 4-2 win over the Ebb and Flow Lakers. Despite some less than ideal weather conditions on Tuesday, July 12, the teams were able to complete the first game of their best-ofthree series. While a light wash of rain poured down upon the players for the entirety of the contest, it wasn’t enough to halt the action, or even hinder the excellent play that was on display in the field.

The game started off well offensively for both squads, as the Lakers’ lead off batter was able to round the bases, to provide an early 1-0 lead for the visitors. In the bottom of the opening inning, however, Neepawa answered back with a pair

of runs of their own. That would be all the scoring the damp, but enthusiastic, crowd would see for a large portion of the game. What was in its place, however, was some great and at times clutch fielding, as well as excellent pitching performances from the Cubs’ Garrett Rempel and Lakers starter Archie McIvor.

After four innings of scoreless ball, Ebb and Flow was able to tie things up in the top of the sixth, when shortstop Johnny Baptiste hit a double to start the inning. He was later driven in on a sacrifice fly from designated hitter Dean Mousseau.

After getting out of the top of the inning, Neepawa quickly answered back with a pair of runs to reclaim the lead. Shane Levandosky and Scott Newton were able to round the bases for the home side. Rempel was

Neepawa Midgets advance to provincials Submitted The Neepawa Banner Quality defence and timely hitting was a recipe for success this past weekend in St. Lazare as the Neepawa Midgets went undefeated to advance to the ‘AA’ Midget Provincial Championship July 15-17 in Oak River/Hamiota.

The team is made up of a mixture of boys from Neepawa and Minnedosa who finished in first place during league play. At the regional tournament, they defeated Gladstone 6-5, Binscarth 3-2 and Oak River 12-11 during the round robin portion of the

weekend. The club then went on to beat Oak River 6-2 in the final, to secure a place in the provincials.

If you would like to make the short trip to this year’s provincials, you can cheer on our boys in the round robin during the following times: Friday, July 15 at 8:30 am versus Bonivital White Sox (in Oak River), Friday afternoon at 1:30 pm against Grosse Isle (in Hamiota) and Saturday, July 16 at 1:30 pm versus Dauphin (in Hamiota).

Congratulations to the players, coaches and manager. Good luck this weekend!

The building at 244 Hamilton Street in Neepawa.

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner A proposal to redevelop 244 Hamilton Street in Neepawa has been approved.

Naseer Chaudhry, who is the current mortgage holder on the property, was interested in renovating the space into one commercial space on the main floor and five bachelor suite units on the second floor, with a separate entrance in the back.

Before Chaudhry could proceed with the renovation however, he required a variation on the minimal amount of parking required. The existing by-law requires that there are 1.5 available spaces per residential unit and two available spaces per com-

mercial unit. Chaudhry wished to have it revised to one per residential and zero per commercial to accommodate his plan.

After there was an objection from the public to the proposal as presented, council decided to table the decision and discuss alternate options with the developer.

A special meeting of council was then scheduled for Tuesday, July 12, regarding the variation for 244 Hamilton Street. After deliberations with the developer following the July 5 meeting, the proposal was brought back to Council, with the plan now for the renovation of one commercial space on the main floor and four bachelor suite units on the second

floor, one fewer than the original proposal. This new plan would now just require an amendment to require residential parking from 1.5 space per unit, down to one space per unit and commercial down to one from two. That variation for this renovation was approved by council, though the original by-law numbers are still in effect for the community as a whole. This revision was just for this development.

A timeline for development to begin has not yet been made public, though in a previous interview with the Neepawa Banner, Chaudhry said he would like to proceed with his plans for the property as soon as possible.

A Neepawa family who knows all to well the financial and emotional costs of dealing with cancer, are supporting an organization that was there for them in their time of need.

The Delaloyes, with assistance from Debbie Strelczik and the Neepawa Golf and Country Club, have organized the Super Alyx Golf Tournament for Saturday, July 16.

The fundraising event features a round of golf, followed by dinner and a rainbow auction at the Yellowhead Hall, with all the proceeds being given to Ronald McDonald House Manitoba and Cancer Care (Pediatric) Manitoba. Sandra Delaloye said Ronald McDonald House has aided her family so much while her daughter Alyx deals with leukemia, that they felt it was very important to find a way to give back.

“Ronald McDonald House, and the people connected with the group have been so great to us, throughout the entire or-

Delaloye noted that there are still spots available for the round of golf and the dinner, which people can choose to attend as separate events. The dinner will begin at 6:00 pm, with the rainbow auction to follow at around 7:30. It will include several items donated from the Winnipeg Jets, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, the City of Winnipeg and much more.

Catching up with the Neepawa 4-H beef achievement Judging Neepawa 4-H Beef Club

By Cora Baker Reporter, Neepawa 4-H Beef Club

By Cora Baker Reporter, Neepawa 4-H Beef Club On Mar. 7, the Neepawa 4-H Beef Club had the privilege of meeting and receiving valuable information from Michele Claveau. Michele talked to us about being in the army since she was 14 years old. She told us about all the amazing places she has went to including; Denmark, Belgium, France, Afghanistan, New Zealand and many places all over Canada. Her dad was a major encouragement in letting her belong with the army.

On April 30 at 2 pm, the Neepawa 4-H Beef Club had the chance to go to the Happy Rock Holsteins Dairy farm.

The cool thing about their farm is they use robots for everything. Some examples are: when the calf is thirsty, it will walk up to the robot and the robot will scan its ear tag, it will tell how much milk the baby will get. Another is when the cow thinks she needs to get milked, she will walk through a gate which will read her ear tag to see the last time she was milked, if it will allow her to go through, she will walk up to the milk station and walk in. Then the robot will clean the utter and make sure there are no bugs or germs in the milk. After that, it will connect the suction tubes to her utter and get as much milk as allotted. Then after milking, it will seal up the utter so no milk will slip out.

On May 28, at 9 a.m. the 4-H Beef and the Belles Beaux and Builders Club joined up to do Highway 5 clean-up for six kilometers. After all of the garbage picking, we had watermelon and went to the Eden Dump to dump off over 100 bags of garbage.

On June 4, at 1 p.m. we held our annual “Crash Day” and no, not with cars. We all met at de Koning’s farm and had our judging class, which was very fun.

On July 3, 2016 the Neepawa & Area 4-H Beef Club held their achievement for the 2015-2016 year. Even though it was raining out, we still showed in the barn which was kind of dusty. We would like to thank the judge Kolton McIntosh, ring person Tom Madsen, announcer Alana Madsen, and show clerk Wendy Baker. Now on to the top 3 from each category.

Manitoba Holiday Festival of the Arts entertains

From July 4 to 8, kids of all ages learned different art forms during the 50th annual Manitoba Holiday Festival of the Arts.

PHOTOS BY KIRA PATERSON

Above and left: The Children's Drama and Youth Theatre Arts programs combined forces for a concert at the end of the week. Both age groups (five to nine and 10 to 13) performed the grand finale together, a medley from the children's Lion King musical. Mecca Productions came out from Brandon to teach the kids. Besides singing and dancing to musical numbers, they also learned how to sing in multi-part harmony and perform monologues.

Altogether, there were 72 kids signed up for festival classes this year.

Left: In the ‘Fun with Music and Movement’ children's program, kids ages five to nine learned five different songs with actions to go along. On the last day, Friday, the group performed the songs for parents. Kathie Roe taught that class.

One of the youth programs, which were for ages 10 to 13, was the "It's a Mystery!" program, run

by Nora Heschuk. During that program, kids solved different mysteries and puzzles and put their critical thinking skills to work.

Jam Fest returns to Neepawa

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

What do you get when you combine the sound of live music, the sights of local art and culture and the taste of freshly produced jams and foods? For ArtsForward, it hopes you’ll get everything you need for a perfect summer day in Neepawa. The non-profit group has organized Jam Fest for Saturday, July 23.

Rrain Prior, director of programming for ArtsForward, said this is the second year for the event, which features a musical stage, outdoor art show and farmer’s market. Prior noted that for this year,

they’ve had a little more time to assemble a day. “[2015] was the very first year for Jam Fest. We decided, and it was right in the end of May, beginning of June, that with no Lily Festival, we really wanted

“

wanted to continue every year.”

Prior said that ArtsForward had been batting around this idea of Jam Fest for quite some time. The name is a play on words, as it features

“This year, we’ve had a lot more time to prep.

We have all these things in place. We’re going to have more food options.

The line-up for the stage performances is set. We have a wide variety of acts

musicians. Once they get going, they’ll keep going.”

The other aspects of Jam Fest will also begin at 1:00 pm, including the outdoor art show, children’s activities and arts and crafts.

Prior said a new addition

to have something in town.

So, very quickly, we put together this concept,” said Prior. “For last year, considering the short notice to arrange it all, it went very well. We had a beautiful day for it. So we decided after that, that it was something that we

- Rrain Prior, director of programming, ArtsForward farmer’s market and the jam tasting, as well as a musical aspect, or ‘jam session’. She added that for this year, they’ve been able to take the original idea and expand upon it, ensuring that there should have a little something for everyone.

already, but there still is a little bit of room for people who perhaps didn’t know about, but would like to be involved and do a song or two,” Prior stressed. “The music will run right from 1:00 pm until dark, basically. Officially, it runs until 8:00 pm, but you know

”

to the festivities will be one hour mini-sessions of ArtsForward classes.

“We’ll have some miniclasses. A yoga session, for anyone who wants to be involved. A jewellery session, art session. Just hour long mini-classes, where you can try some-

thing out. Those options are brand new and we think will go over very well, while also showing people exactly what we do here.” said Prior.

The other major part of Jam Fest will be the jam tasting, which will go from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Those interested in participating, can submit a jam for just a dollar entry fee. People will then vote on their favourite. Prior said a competition like this is really more about the prestige than the money. Jam Fest is set for July 23, at the ArtsForward grounds, rain or shine.

Everyone is invited to be a part of the fun.

RUNWAY DRAG RACES

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner The 16th annual Yellowhead Roadrunners Runway Drag Races have a big matchup planned for the intermission. Bert de Koning, president of the Yellowhead Roadrunners, will be racing against the host of the drag racing TV game show Pass Time, Brett “Big Schwag” Wagner.

De Koning will be racing his own car, a full alcohol twin-turbo, while Wagner will be using a top dragster alcohol car owned by Glen Novakowski, of Winnipeg.

This is the first time the Runway Drags have hosted a guest like this. De Koning said that usually, they have a feature car at the races, but now the locals’ cars are getting as fast as any, so they wanted to try something new.

“I don’t know [how the matchup will go], it’s going to be fairly close, I’m hoping,” said de Koning.

He said the race will just be a friendly grudge match with bragging rights on the line. “There’ll be a bit of chirping going on for sure,” he added, noting that it will be entertaining for the spectators as well as him and Wagner.

Welcome to Neepawa!

“There’s really no pressure on me [to win], because I’m just a TV guy,” said Wagner. He only recently got his racing license and he’s only driven Novakowski’s car once before, so he won’t be as prepared as de Koning, who’s using his own car.

“The pressure’s on Bert... if I win against him, that’s it... it will be glorious and believe me, I’ll milk that all the way on social media.”

He added that they’ll maybe have a little bet, like the loser takes the winner out for dinner.

Have a great day at the races!

RUNWAY DRAG RACES

Welcome to The Runway Drags!

Continued from page 4 Wagner is a former pro wrestler, so he said he’ll be building up the event beforehand, calling de Koning out on social media.

He hosted the show Pass Time for about five years and grew up going to drag races with his dad. “People always gave me a lot of crap because I always talk about racing, but I’d never raced,” he explained. Novakowski offered to let Wagner use his car for some races if he got a racing license.

So, Wagner learned how to drag race at a school in California and got his license, so now he can walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

“I’m pretty excited about the matchup,” Wagner said.

He’s also excited to see the track, the other cars and the people that will be there. “When I go for appearances, I like to go around and see the town,” he added. He said he hopes to be able to stay for an extra day and take in Neepawa. He also mentioned that he’s “looking forward to having some grub” at the local restaurants.

The Yellowhead Roadrunners Runway Drag Races are happening on Saturday, July 23 this year, at the Neepawa Airport.

The races are held on the runway, as the event’s name suggests, and run for an eighth mile down the stretch. The event is aimed at amateur racers, giving them a chance to try out competitive drag racing without pressure or worrying about making mistakes.

Registration for the races is from 8:00 to 11:00 am, with the gates opening at 10:00 am and the races starting at noon. Pre-registration is available online and recommended by the Roadrunners, to make things easier at the gate.

The pre-registration form can be found at roadrunnersautoclub.com under the “Runway Drags” tab.

There will be a concession on site and Brett Wagner will have a booth set up for spectators and racers to meet him.

Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede

Celebrate Versatile’s 50th anniversary Submitted Manitoba Agricultural Museum In 1966, Versatile entered the tractor business by designing a prototype four wheel drive tractor.

This was a huge gamble for the Versatile Company, which was successfully manufacturing and selling swathers, combines, augers and other equipment at the time. A four wheel drive tractor was much more complicated and, in 1966, four wheel drive tractors were very uncommon. The other tractor manufacturers thought that the market for four wheel drive tractors was so small it was not worth the effort. Versatile, however, thought that there was a market for a four wheel drive tractor that was affordable. Versatile’s prototype tractor resulted in the D-100 and G-100 tractor models entering production at Versatile.

The D-100 was powered by a 6 cylinder Ford diesel engine and the G-100 was powered by a Chrysler gas V-8 engine. Over 100 D-100s and G-100s were sold in 1966. This was a sales success for Versatile, which immediately followed up with improved four wheel drive tractor models: D-118, G-125 and the D-145. Versatile began mass production of these tractors, which brought down costs. Between the affordability of these tractors and the rugged, simple design, farmers embraced Versatile four wheel drive tractors. Advance orders poured in and Versatile had to expand their plant to meet these orders.

Versatile was in the four wheel drive tractor busi-

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Versatile’s entry into tractor manufactury, as these tractors are a Manitoba success story, the Manitoba Agricultural Museum decided this anniversary should be marked with a celebration at the 2016 Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede.

The Versatile 50th anniversary celebration’s centrepiece is “Big Roy” the prototype four-axle, 600 horsepower tractor built by Versatile in 1977 and donated to the Museum in the mid 1980s.

Big Roy was completely overhauled by Versatile in the winter of 2015-2016 in preparation for Versatile taking the tractor on a tour of farm shows this year. The overhaul was so thorough that the rear view closed circuit TV system has been restored to operation! The tractor is in

absolutely stunning condition and is a “must see”.

The Manitoba Agricultural Museum members, staff and board of directors would take this opportunity to express their thanks to Versatile for their work on this tractor, which guarantees the tractor will be in operable condition well into the future.

Along with Big Roy, other Versatile tractors will be at the celebration, including the Museum’s D-100 and prototype bi -directional. The celebration will include tractors and Versatile memorabilia from a number of outside collectors. Between Big Roy, other Versatile tractors and items, the 50th anniversary celebration will be an event well worth attending.

On Sunday, July 31, 2016 the Canadian Foodgrains

Bank and the Manitoba Agricultural Museum will host Harvesting Hope: a World Record to Help the Hungry. To help end global hunger, over 500 volunteers from 100 communities across Canada will operate 125 early 20th century threshing machines to harvest a 100 acre crop of wheat. When in operation, the equipment will require over four football fields of space. For more information on attending or how to participate please visit http://www. harvestinghope.ca/ or follow us on twitter @harvesthope2016.
