By Tony Eu The Neepawa Banner

On Sunday, Sept. 18, the annual Terry Fox Run took place. Organized by Kelly Krzyzaniak, the 5 km Neepawa run saw 79 runners and seven volunteers raise $6,700.

The course for the run started on the NACI track, following it around to the northeast corner of the school area, where participants got onto William St. From there, the runners headed west onto Mountain

Ave., then south until Boundary St. The runners followed Boundary St. all the way until Fifth St., where they turned and headed down to their halfway point at Dairy Queen. When they arrived, runners were greeted with water and ice cream courtesy of DQ. After the short ice cream break, the runners headed one block east on Highway 16 to Fourth St. From there, they headed all the way back to Boundary, then back to Mountain, finally turning down Hospital St. to make it back to the NACI’s track.

Custom Cabinetry, Kitchens, Baths & more

At the end of the course, runners were given a cookie.

There was also a draw for Terry Fox t-shirts as well as other Terry Fox ‘merchandise’.

“Everything is donated and that’s part of the mandate of the Terry Fox Foundation,” Krzyzaniak said about where they got the food and other items. “It’s volunteer driven and volunteer run. There’s no commercialization of the Terry Fox Run which makes it unique amongst a lot of the fundraising runs,” she added.

Open houses across the province

By Tony Eu The Neepawa Banner This past weekend, 44 locations across Manitoba invited the world to take a look at life on a farm. On Sunday, Sept. 18, the 2016 Manitoba Open Farm Day kicked off.

Simultaneously, bed and breakfasts across the province joined in, opening their doors to curious visitors, as well as the usual guests, as a

part of the Bed and Breakfast Association of Manitoba’s open house event.

All kinds of farms took part, from alpaca farms, to cattle farms, to grain farms.

Each farm had different activities prepared to show off life on a farm. From tours, to demonstrations and fun activities for the kids, there was plenty to see and do at the farms.

September is a busy time with the start of school and all the other activities getting underway and it’s no different at the Neepawa Library, where we’re installing new shelves and busily reorganizing to make our books and digital titles easier to browse. We apologise for things being in disarray, but we hope to have it all sorted soon.

Our popular program, Storytime, has begun again and is open on Fridays at 11:00 a.m. to pre-school-age children and their caregivers. We’re excited to host special guest reader Bobbie Parrott, of Minnedosa, on Friday, Sept. 30. Bobbie will read from her children’s book: “I Thought I Could and I Did!” a book about having confidence in yourself and working to succeed, no matter what you try. Our reading is included in the Manitoba I Love Culture weekend; check their website at CultureDays.ca for all the events scheduled around the province from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.

Mark your calendars: on October 27, we’re excited to host a reading and presentation by Craig Russell of Brandon of his second book “Fragment.” Craig will launch his new book at McNally Robinson in October and we’re very excited to be one of the dates on his new book tour. His first book, “Black Bottle Man” is available at the Neepawa Library.

‘It shows you just how much support is out there’

By Tony Eu The Neepawa Banner With the second annual ‘What’s The Big Idea?’ event coming up, it’s the perfect time to check in with the winners from last year’s event and see where they are now.

In Neepawa, the event led to the opening of a brand new business, owned and operated by Darryn Cameron. The name of the business is 4U Home Décor and Consulting. After pitching the idea for this business, the judges awarded Cameron the $1,000 award from the Town of Neepawa.

Using this money, Cameron bought a computer and printer, putting the remainder of the money towards general start-up costs. “[4U Home Décor and Consulting] has been growing monthly, every month is better than the month before,” Cameron commented on his business success so far.

“I think [What’s The Big Idea?] is a good idea. I wouldn’t have gotten this business off the ground as quickly without [the event] as a springboard,” noted Cameron. Continuing to talk about the event, Cameron said, “I think it’s also just a very good networking event, so even if you aren’t starting a business, it’s still a good place to go and connect with other people.” He also added that various organizations were also involved in the event, such as RBC, the Town of Neepawa and the Town of Minnedosa, so the event is a very good way to connect with various people.

It keeps you moving forward The big winner from the event, Marlies Soltys, pitched the idea for an art studio in Minnedosa.

With that pitch, she won a total of $1,550 from three different awards, the Best Pitch, the Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce and the Minnedosa Community Development Corporation. Since winning those awards, Soltys

Lisa Ballegeer, the owner and operator of Innovative Hearing Technology, won $500 at last year’s What’s the Big Idea. Ballegeer operates a mobile hearing centre and said that her business has grown, adding more locations and clients since last year’s event.

has started the Inspire Art Studio. “[The] money went in an account and created my Inspire Studio business account and it went to the registration of my name, this is a registered business name,” Soltys said.

She continued, saying, “Then, we started looking for a location, of course and then it went to the rent and damage deposit for our building, as well as all the renovations and office supplies. All that, plus much more.”

When asked about how business is going, Soltys responded that, “Business is doing fabulous.”

When Inspire Art Studio first opened its doors, it had just over 12 artists join the studio, now they have 32.

“As of January, we started offering art classes and so we have had well over 100 different participants in art classes,” Soltys further remarked. “We’ve got art classes booked in now again, for the fall and out of our six upcoming classes, three of those are full and the others have just very limited space available still to people,” she added.

Like Cameron, Soltys had a very positive review of ‘What’s The Big Idea?’.

“If it wasn’t for [What’s The Big Idea?] I’m not sure if Inspire Studio would be here,” she said.

“When you go and pitch your idea, first of all, it’s nerve racking, because you’ve thought about this

dream for some time.

You’ve pictured it, you’ve envisioned it, you’ve worked towards that goal and you’ve shared it with your family and your close friends, but now it becomes public knowledge,” Soltys explained. “Presenting at ‘What’s The Big Idea?’ holds you accountable for that idea,” she continued.

“It holds you to the point where you need to keep moving forward with that, especially when you’ve got the support behind you from our [Economic Development Officers (EDOs)] the way we, both in Neepawa and Minnedosa, do,” Soltys stressed. Speaking about her personal experience, Soltys added, “Vern May, [the EDO for the Town of Minnedosa], was absolutely at my side when I needed him. When we were looking for space he would say, ‘Well, have you checked this one out?

Let me do some leg work.’

If I had a question about this, he would say, ‘Let me check that out and I’ll get back to you,’ those sorts of things. He was so supportive and wanted to see

this work.”

Soltys finished by summarizing, saying, “It keeps you moving forward, it makes you take that plunge and then it shows you just how much support is out there for your idea that it validates it.”

Having confidence in yourself Doug and Hali Finlay, owners of Oakview Equipment, were the winners of a $500 award from last year’s event, for their pitch to add MTZ tractors to their company. The couple used the money to cover the registration costs accompanied by the addition.

The new tractors and associated parts arrived to their dealership in June and while there haven’t been any purchases yet, there has been a lot of interest in them.

The MTZ tractors have the advantage of being non-computerized, an advantage in colder weather, as computerized systems are more prone to malfunction in the cold.

Not just the farm yards and fields Continued from page A2 Though the farms are located off the beaten path in rural areas, as farms often are, lots of people made the trip out into the country to find them. Plenty of people came out to learn more about where our food comes from, as well as find out what exactly farmers do and how they do it.

The Hunter Family Farm, located 10 minutes from both Rapid City and Rivers, was one of the farms that took part. As part of their activities, they had a ‘Cowboy Corner’ set up for kids to try out some rodeo events and just play around.

Some of the other activities they had set up were a sheep shearing demonstration and a wool spinning demonstration, a horse drawn carriage ride around the farm, face painting and a ‘sandbox’ for kids to play in, with the sand replaced by grain. As well as the sheep, they also had horses, goats, cattle and some chickens that people could look at.

Along with the ani-

mals and activities, the Hunter’s farm also had a water conservation display and farm equipment for people to look at.

Any questions about anything and everything having to do with the farm, or the animals and equipment on it, were answered enthusiastically.

On the bed & breakfast side, two Neepawa businesses took part: Ann’s Heritage House B&B and Cozee Cornucopia B&B. Ann’s Heritage House is owned and operated by Ann Nielsen. The B&B has three guest rooms and has been in operation for six years. The house itself is over 100 years old. With architecture from the early 1900s and decorations that combine the old with the new, Ann’s Heritage House

16094gmb

is a beautiful house with great rooms.

The Cozee Cornucopia has been in operation for just under two years and is owned and operated by Ernie and Pat Gawaziuk. Both being retired, they operate the B&B more for fun than as a serious business venture, primarily handling the overflow from motels.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that because they aren’t dependent on the B&B for income that it isn’t well kept. The Cozee Cornucopia lives up to its

name, with two rooms and a lobby area that are not only cozy, but also well kept and welcoming.

Both B&Bs were more than happy to give a full tour as part of their open house, even providing snacks and refreshments.

What’s the Big Idea? offers guidance and support

SUBMITTED PHOTO

SUBMITTED PHOTO

At Inspire, there is a large canvas in the back of the studio, where classes are held. Owner Marlies Soltys explains, “Our back has not been renovated and we’ve added this large canvas for our class participants to use. This is actually a piece I’m quite proud of, as it gets painted on quite regularly by everyone who attends our classes, no paint gets waisted or poured down the drain after an art class, it all goes on this canvas...

It’s been a real hit with everyone that has taken a class with us.” The canvas also provides a place for students to try new techniques, textures and colours.

Continued from page A4 The couple also offered some advice to future business owners and entrepreneurs, saying, “One of the biggest things is having confidence in yourself and what you’re trying to do.”

As for their thoughts on ‘What’s The Big Idea?’, the Finlays said, “It’s a great idea for new businesses starting up.” Continuing, they remarked that, “It’s a place where you can go and all kinds of resources are there. There’s also the guidance for what needs to be done when starting a business.”

“Basically the biggest thing [when starting a business] is to gain a backing, and [What’s The Big Idea?] is a good spot to get that,” the Finlays added.

The final winner was Lisa Ballegeer, the owner and operator of Innovative Hearing Technology, a mobile hearing centre.

Her pitch won $500, which was used to help with the daily cost of business.

Ballegeer said that her business was going very well, adding that if she was working somewhere else, as a more typical hearing centre, she’d probably earn around the same amount.

“I’ve acquired more locations that I go to on a regular basis [since the event],” Ballegeer said.

“I’ve definitely acquired more people, more interest, with the fact that I can actually go to them,” she added. “[I’m] trying to take the inconvenience out of hav-

If you were still on the fence about pitching an idea at ‘What’s The Big Idea?’, hopefully these success stories created by the event will change your mind.

Natives ready for regular season to start

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The games that matter are set to begin across the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. For the Neepawa Natives, opening night can’t arrive soon enough, as the team hopes to continue building off of its positive pre-season experience.

Neepawa finished MJHL exhibition play with a 3-3 record, which included player improvement being seen in every one of those games. Head coach Dustin Howden said watching first hand, the development of the roster, from a group of talented individuals into a collective unit, has been great to see.

“The coaching staff has been working very hard with [the players] on a few things, such as powerplay for example. As we had more games under our belt, you could see the information that we’d

When you work on your game and you start seeing those results, it’s a real confidence builder and you can tell, they’re

getting confident about what they can do out there.

There’s a feeling that we can skate with and compete with any team that’s out there in front of us.”

The Natives closed out the exhibition season with a pair of games against the Dauphin Kings. The first was on Friday, Sept.

16, in Dauphin, and saw Neepawa claim a dominant 6-1 win. The following night at the Yellowhead Centre, the Kings survived an onslaught of 62 shots to win 3-1. The matchup on Saturday, Sept. 17, would see Neepawa come close to securing more goals on several occasions, hit-

ting the crossbar multiple times. The team also ran up against a spectacular performance by 19-yearold Dauphin goaltender Brandon Holtby. Howden said those two nights were a perfect example of how anything can happen from night to night.

“These types of games

happen. We ran into a hot goaltender [on Saturday, Sept. 17]. Kudos to Holtby.

He really stood on his head out there. Any other night, we’re going to get more than one goal off that amount of opportunities,” stressed Howden. “[Friday, Sept. 16] is an example of that. We had a similar game less than 24 hours earlier and were able to score six goals. All we can do is put it behind us. I’m still really proud of the guys and the effort they put in out there.”

The MJHL regular season will open for Neepawa at home on Friday, Sept. 23, versus the Winkler Flyers.

The two teams played a pair of games during the exhibition schedule, each winning once. Howden said that they’re looking forward to challenging one of last season’s top teams and seeing exactly where the Neepawa Natives stand early on in the regular season.

NACI golf tees off MacGregor joins THHL on the competition

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

There will be senior men’s hockey in the Town of MacGregor this winter as the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) has approved a new expansion team. The board of governors agreed to the creation of the team on Monday, Sept. 12, during its semi-annual meeting.

The yet unnamed club will begin play in the 2016-17 THHL season.

But while one community joins the Tiger Hills Hockey League fraternity, another is stepping away, as a league source has indicated that the Glenboro Nordics have requested a one year hiatus. With these transactions, the number of clubs participating in the 2016-2017 season will remain at 13. The odd number of teams within the league will facilitate an uneven schedule, with clubs in the eastern division likely playing one additional regular season game.

As for the upcoming regular season, formulation of the league schedule is underway and be announced within the next few weeks. The Tiger Hills Hockey League season will begin in late October.

On Monday, Sept. 19, Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute’s had two golf teams participate in the zone tournament in Carberry. The team of Daly Chartrand, Landon Young, Braden Gillies and Ben Rainka won the event and will now participate in provincials on Friday, Sept. 23, in Winkler. Ben Rainka also won the medal for the low score on the day. Pictured left to right: Bryan Todoruk, Ben Rainka, Braden Gillies, Landon Young, Tysne Stanski, Wiley Speiss and Daly Chartrand.

SPORTS PERSON OF THE YEAR CRITERIA FOR NOMINATIONS

NOMINATIONS WILL BE JUDGED ON THE BASIS OF: Submitted The Neepawa Banner

Several members of the Neepawa Tigers football team ventured off to Portage la Prairie last weekend, to help a former teammate with a very important cause.

On Sunday, Sept. 18, those players participated in the Terry Fox Run as part of ‘Parker’s Squad’,, a contingent brought together to support 18-year-old Parker Guy of MacGregor.

Guy, who played for the Tigers last season, was recently diagnosed with Ewing’s

Saracoma, a type of bone cancer. Upon learning of the diagnosis, many people in the community of MacGregor responded by stepping up to support the family.

That outpouring led to a record setting year for the Portage run, as over $13,000 was raised in donations. That number is more than three times the 2015 result of $3,868 and the largest total raised in Portage la Prairie since 1991.

Proceeds from the Terry Fox Run go directly to the Terry Fox Foundation. More than 9,000 communities across Canada take part in the charity run every year.

• The nominee’s contribution to the growth or strengthening of sport and recreation in Neepawa • Outstanding leadership skills • Volunteerism and personal involvement in sport or recreation.

• The impact and lasting contribution of the nominee’s efforts.

In order to assist the organizers assess the nominations, nominators are asked to provide supporting information in a letter of nomination.

Please email or fax all nominations attention Neepawa Natives Sports Dinner nnativesmarketing@gmail.com or 204-476-5300 Deadline for nominations are Friday, October 21, 2016.

Obituary Doris Gail Sigurdson On Sunday September 11th after a brief aggressive illness Doris Gail Sigurdson (Johnson) passed in the Neepawa Hospital surrounded by family.

Leaving to mourn are her loving husband of 54 years Asgar, her daughter Peggy, son Einar and his wife Karen and daughter Jennifer along with grandchildren Brad (Janine), Samantha, Kristen, Alix, Maggie, Josh, Erik and Brock, plus great grandchildren Carson, Avery and Camilla.

Doris also leaves brothers Harold, Kelly and Joey and their families, plus many in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends. Doris was predeceased by her parents Archie and Sveina Johnson; brother Tommy; in laws Skapti and Gudrun Sigurdson; sisters in law Evelyn Ericksson and Viola Wild and brother in law Einar Sigurdson.

Doris was born in Winnipeg on August 4th, 1942 only daughter of Archie and Sveina Johnson. She grew up in Big Point with her four brothers and attended school in Langruth. Doris married Asgar Sigurdson on August 18th, 1962. Together, they farmed in Lakeland until moving to Woodside in 2000. They raised their three children in Lakeland, along with being a big part of their immediate family's lives and their community. Doris was active in the Grace Lutheran Church, Royal Purple, Langruth Community Hall, Langruth 4-H Clubs and everything musical that happened in the community! Asgar, Peggy, Einar and Jennifer were her pride and joy. When grandchildren arrived, - then great grandchildren, her love and pride only grew. She enjoyed watching them in all their activities and was eager to tell everyone what they were up to. Whether it be a hockey game, or any sporting event the kids were involved with, or school function, or recital, or music production, Doris would encourage and cheer them on, many a time with Asgar at her side.

Doris headed off to Teachers' College at the young age of 17. Doris's first teaching job was in East St. Paul and it began a career that would span over 50 years, taking her to many different schools in the area. Her love of teaching and music touched so many lives, it was her passion. She was very blessed to have a career she loved and to do it for so long. Her seemingly effortless ability to touch the lives of so many students and co-workers will be a legacy that will live on forever. She was the music to many children and mentor to her colleagues. She was thought of by so many as a caring friend that was sincere and generous and willing to do anything to make sure those around her reached their full potential. Gladstone Festival and so many music classrooms will no doubt think of her as every song is sung and chord is played. The best teachers are those who show you where to look but don't tell you what to see. That was Doris, bringing out the best in so many and finding their hidden talents.

Doris was extremely proud of her Icelandic heritage, as every good Icelander is! Her Icelandic brown bread, donuts and vinarterta were her specialties and were enjoyed by many! In the summer of 2014, her brother Kelly and niece Wendy accompanied her on her dream trip to Iceland. Doris was able to touch base with some long lost relatives and finally see the beauty that is Iceland. She was thrilled with the trip and came home with so many wonderful stories and photos she loved to share.

Doris will be sadly missed by what was the Fabulous Five. Linda, Louise, Roberta, Shirley and Doris shared a beautiful friendship for over 60 years. They enjoyed many a girlie trip and were always there for each other in all of life's happy and sad times. Their special friendship is something Doris always cherished. She will be missed by many.

Funeral Service was held on Sat., Sep. 17, 2016 at The Grace Lutheran Church, Langruth. Interment in Lakeland Cemetery. Charitable donations may be made in Doris's memory to The Gladstone Music & Arts Festival c/o Michelle Teichroeb, Box 70, Langruth, Manitoba R0H 0N0.

Tom Addison Tom Addison was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2015, he responded well to his treatments and seemed he was winning the fight, however, it just wasn’t the case. On Sunday, August 21, 2016, when Tom entered the hospital, he was very confused. On August 23rd, tests confirmed the cancer had spread to his brain. He declined rapidly and passed away on Thursday, September 1st, with family by his side. A graveside service led by Gloria Mott was held at the Carberry cemetery on September 7th.

Left to mourn are his sister Shirley Hoff, niece, Christine (Bob) Robinson and family, Heather Doerksen, Alexis Connor and Owen, and Tiffany Robinson, his nephew, Harry (Nancy) Hoff and family, Clara, Lucy and Anna and of course many more family and friends.

Thomas Henry Addison was born on June 19, 1948 to Ron and Dora Addison. Tom was the first born son and he was spoiled rotten by his grandma Ethel Adams. She lost a boy 10 days after birth, and Tom was the son she never got to have. As the story goes, Tom’s mom, Dora, did not hold Tom for the first 6 months of his life. In his grandma’s eyes, Tom could do no wrong. It was not easy for Shirley to live with the Boy that Could Do No Wrong, as an adult Tom came and acknowledged and apologized for these times. It speaks to Tom’s character that he would do this.

Tom would have chores to do in whatever animals that his parents had at the time and Tom came to love horses. This was the ‘50s and money was tight, Tom and Shirley were expected to do what they could to help feed the horses. Including Sunday bottle drives around the area picking up beer bottles in the ditch. The oats were bought from Uncle Jim Dickson, at a family discount, but regardless, Tom learned that he had to take responsibility for his animals. Summer chores would include cutting and hauling loose hay to be stacked back at home.

Tom attended school in Carberry till 1967. After high school, he worked for the Highways and then started work at Carberry Feeders. Tom started taking Nursing at BU in the ‘80s and soon switched to education. In summer breaks, Tom worked in Portage at the Manitoba Development Centre. After graduation, Tom taught at many First Nation schools, including St. Therese, Shamatawa, God’s Lake, Long Plains and most recently, 10 years at Lake Manitoba.

While performing his regular teaching duties, he took night courses and weekend classes to get his Resource designation. Tom was always continuing his education.

He completed his Masters in Education in 2009 and was currently taking counselling courses.

Tom’s love of horses and riding is of course well known.

Horses have come and gone from Tom’s life, he never felt complete without owning one. At an early age, he was involved in the 4H Pony Club, Woodberry Riding Club and the Brandon Light Horse and Pony Society. He has won boxes of ribbons and trophies throughout the years. He was a regular volunteer at the Brandon Winter Fair, even up until this past year, and spent many years volunteering at the Carberry Fair. Tom took every new generation of nieces and nephews to the fair and it was often behind the scenes with the participants. Even if he wasn’t personally able to take the kids to the fair, he would give money so the kids would be able to buy treats.

Tom has always had two families, the Addisons and the Sagins, Wayne, Sandra, Karen and Donna. They have spent as many holidays, families’ birthdays, Christmases and various family events with Tom as we have. Wayne’s grandchildren called him Uncle Tom. Tom was always happy to help Wayne on the farm and of course, this allowed him to spend time with horses.

We would like to thank all friends and family for the hospital visits, calls, cards, flowers and food. You know who you are and we thank you very much.

ALBERT “HERB” DRAYSON

July 6, 1925 – September 5, 2016 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather Albert Herbert Drayson, on Monday, September 5th at the age of 91.

He will be dearly missed by his wife of 71 years, Ina, daughter Joan Majury and husband Kim, three grandchildren Jason, Christine (Justin) and Megan Gyles (Matt), two great-grandchildren Logan Majury and Neve Gyles, two sisters Marjorie Colvine (Garnet) of Arden, MB and Joyce Roberg of Minnetonka, Minnesota.

Herb was born in Neepawa, MB and grew up on the family farm. He joined the Winnipeg Rifles in 1943 and served in France, Germany and Holland. He was wounded in Belgium.

At that time he was sent to England to recuperate. During an evening out in London, he met Thomasina (Ina) from Dundee, Scotland, who became his wife on August 11, 1945. They made their home in St. James in Winnipeg and in 1955 adopted their daughter Joan of whom he was always so very proud.

We could always count on Herb to have a big smile and a great sense of humor. He loved his garden, particularly his roses. What gave him the most pleasure, though, were his grandchildren. He loved to treat them to chicken and chips and Dutch Maid ice cream. When 2 great-grandchildren arrived in 2008 and 2016 he was thrilled.

In 2006, Herb, due to health, entered the Deer Lodge Centre where he remained up until the time of his passing. Our family would like to extend a special “Thanks” to the staff of Tower 5 for their outstanding care and friendship. We know he will be missed by all.

Obituary Brian Cleaver It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Brian Cleaver on August 23, 2016 at the Brandon Regional Hospital, with his family by his side, at the age of 59.

Brian was born on July 11, 1957 in Minnedosa, Manitoba to Harold and Marie Cleaver.

Brian was married to Lynn Smith on August 16, 1980, in Polonia, Manitoba.

After graduation Brian moved to Minnedosa and became a commercial painter and later in years Brian farmed with his Dad at Justice and painted on the side. In these years ,they had 3 boys: Kevin, Ricky and Mitchell. When Marie and Harold moved to Brandon in 1996, Brian and Lynn and the boys moved to the family farm, where they have lived ever since. In 2005, Brian decided to rent his farm and took a job with Adriaansen Farms and worked there until his passing.

Brian was predeceased by his parents Harold and Marie.

He was greatly loved and will always be missed by his family and friends.

Brian leaves to mourn his passing and cherish many wonderful memories: his wife Lynn, his son, Kevin (Amanda) and their children Mya-Lynn and Liam, his son Ricky and his son Mitchell; his sister Louise (Tom) and his niece Paula (Clayton) and their children Ava and Emmet, as well as numerous family members and friends.

Funeral services were held on Friday August 26, 2016 at 11:00 AM at the Central United Church in Brandon.

Interment followed in Moore Park Cemetery

Terry Fox Run nets $7885 in total support Continued from page one On the canteen building beside the track, pictures from previous Terry Fox runs were put up. Going all the way back to the first Neepawa run in 1997 and continuing up until last year, the pictures show the strength of the legacy Terry Fox left behind and its continuation today.

The continuation of Terry’s legacy is also carried on by the next generation, with Hazel M. Kellington raising $1,385 during their run on Sept. 16. Combined with the money raised from the community event, Neepawa has raised $7,885 this year to support cancer research.

Students from K to 3 ran a short course around a couple blocks downtown, while students in Grade 4 to 5 ran a course that took them to Riverbend Park and back. Accompanying the young runners were members of the Neepawa Natives hockey team, who volunteered at the event. Along with running with the students, members of the Natives also helped out with the barbecue that followed.

Regardless of where you look, it’s clear that the Terry Fox Run will continue to provide support to cancer research for as long as it’s needed.

It was wall-to-wall fabric and quilters at the grand opening of Big Wheel Quilt Shop, south-west of Gladstone. Store owner Mary Penner’s love of sewing morphed into selling fabric from her garage. Inventory and demand soon outgrew the original space and the new two story shop has everything for the home sewer. Quilters and fabric lovers traveled from Winnipeg, St. Claude, Portage la Prairie, Holland, Ste. Rose, Neepawa and beyond to attend the Sept. 14 opening. In addition to quilting supplies, there is also cookware, cutlery and farm toys available at the Big Wheel Quilt Shop. The most direct route from Neepawa is south off Hwy 16 on Bear Creek Road (the co-op fertilizer yard). Don’t let the gravel road deter you.

Over the years, Honda Civic has remained the nation’s favourite compact car, due to its combination of quality, reliability, value, low running costs and a more involving drive than most. However, in order to maintain its place at the top of the compact class, Honda released an all-new 10th generation 2016 Civic at the end of 2015 with the intention of addressing the model’s shortcomings compared to its competitors.

Food for thought

by Chad Carpenter

Decisions are hard This past week, PC cabinet minister Ron Schuler issued the following statement on Facebook. “Today the board of directors of Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation announced that they will cancel the decision to relocate their headquarters to down town Winnipeg. The board felt that the 75 million dollar project was not in the best interest of Manitoba taxpayers and as Minister responsible for Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries I fully support the boards decision.”

Many taxpayers heaved a sigh of relief as this is one of the first major money saving moves the PC government has made and it’s one of the largest so far. They also cancelled the East Side Road Authority which made sense as it essentially was set up by the NDP to be a second department of highways.

Cancelling the building of a new headquarters for MLLC was a very smart move. Gambling is not a growing industry in Manitoba. Manitoba is saturated with casinos and the ones we have are struggling to maintain, let alone grow. Maybe people have come to the conclusion that it is more fun to actually do stuff than sit at a casino. Successful casinos in other parts of the world actually have other stuff to do than just gamble. In Manitoba, the rural casinos are located at The Pas, at South Beach and out in the country south of Carberry at Sandhills. Quite frankly, there are few other attractions except the gaming at South Beach and at Sandhills. The view from the hotel at South Beach is of a swampy slough. There is no hotel at Sandhills.

Everybody at MLLC has a desk and a warm, dry place to work.

A new office building made no sense and would have provided

Ken Waddell little advantage to the operation.

The NDP opposition said it was a short-sighted move to cancel the project. They dreamed up the idea but never figured out if it made long term economic sense. It didn’t and the new board canned the idea. Part of the NDP rationale was to help rejuvenate downtown Winnipeg, albeit on the backs of all Manitoba taxpayers. Downtown Winnipeg, downtown Brandon and in fact, downtown anywhere in Manitoba, needs rejuvenation.

However it is hard to rejuvenate downtown when past decisions have so badly hampered downtown development. When councils and developers teamed up to put restaurants and shopping malls around the edge of cities and towns, the fate of downtown was doomed. Classic case in point is the Shoppers Mall and the Corral Centre in Brandon. It’s doubtful if downtown Brandon will ever develop in the face of those two establishments and the development of 18th Street.

From the Shoppers Mall to the Corral Centre and all along 18th Street is Brandon’s “new” downtown. But seeing as it has been going that direction for 50 years, it’s hard to call it new.

Were it not for “forced” development by government expenditure, Winnipeg’s downtown would be a much different place. Without all the government spending on the Manitoba Hydro building, The Forks, the

Canadian Museum of Human Rights and the MTS Centre, downtown Winnipeg would be a much more dismal place. Even still, there is a huge amount of vacant and decaying space in central Winnipeg.

The MLCC cancellation decision was a very good decision.

It leaves more money in taxpayers pockets to spend and invest where they might want to do so. It sends a clear message to government agencies, “Make do with what you have”, which is a good solid message that all the rest of us have to live by.

As for downtown re-development, if in fact it is deemed to be a good thing, then politicians, especially city, town and municipal politicians, have to look to the future and decide what they really want to have. Do they want a crumbling, rotten centre, hampered by archaic zoning rules?

Do they want new development on the edges of their town or city? Do they want to tear down the central core and make parks and green space? More residential development? Decisions are hard I guess, as evidenced by the fact that so few decisions are being made. If a person really wants to feel discouraged and futile, just try and get a building permit through a council for redeveloping an old building. It’s a nightmare in all urban centres, so it should be no surprise that people go elsewhere with their dreams, ideas and investment.

Sometimes, I find myself at a bit of a cross roads in the grocery store aisles. I’m sure I’m not the only one – in rural Manitoba, we are in a unique position of being both suppliers and consumers.

When it comes to buying one of our main necessities, food, we have a lot of options. We have choices within our home communities, we have choices MY in neighbour- PERSPECTIVE ing communities and we have choices in larger regional ate centres. Overall, in Canada, ackman tkinson there are lots of choices, especially as non-traditional grocers, like Mal-Mart, continue to enter the market.

Consumer choice means that stores are fighting to differentiate themselves and increasingly, price is where they are choosing to compete. Food is a necessity and low food prices are extremely important to all Canadians. The problem is that these low prices must come from somewhere and in almost all cases, they are being pushed further down the chain, towards the producer.

Last year, Wal-Mart’s extra aggressive cost cutting put it in the news. The retail giant has always been known for driving a hard bargain with suppliers, but last year, when faced with weak earnings, the retailer began asking for additional cuts.

Reuters reported that unlike previous years, where negotiations took place between suppliers and the retailer, last year, the retailer took a more aggressive stand. The concessions demanded including asking suppliers to take money earmarked for joint advertising and displays and to instead use this money to lower the prices charged to the retailer. The problem is that Wal-Mart represents such a big share of the retail landscape, companies are hesitant to push back and find themselves no longer on those shelves.

Wal-Mart isn’t the only one driving a hard bargain. This summer, Loblaw Cos. Ltd. was reported to have sent a letter to its suppliers asking for a price decrease of 1.45 per cent for shipments beginning in September. In response United Grocers, the buying group that represents many of Loblaw’s competitors, also sent a letter insisting that they be given the same price cut as their competitor.

The problem isn’t just a lot of competition, it’s compounded by increased concentration, which is creating larger, more powerful buying groups. We have to think about what that means not just to us as consumers, but also as suppliers.

Statistics Canada tracks food prices as part of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). From July 2015 to July 2016, the price of food purchased from stores increased by 1.1 per cent. However, not every type of food increased in price. Some of the decreases were seen in fresh or frozen meat excluding poultry (1.7 per cent), non-fish seafood (1.7 per cent), dairy and eggs (0.9 per cent), bakery products (0.1 per cent), cereal grains and cereal products (0.9 per cent) and preserved fruit and fruit preparations (0.2 per cent). Interestingly, most of these products are closest to their raw, from the farm, form.

On the flip side, StatsCan’s Farm Product Price Index (FPPI) measures the changes in prices that farmers receive for the agricultural commodities they produce and sell. The most recent release finds that the FPPI fell by 0.3 per cent in June 2016, compared to June 2015. Most of the decline was driven by falling cattle prices, which were down 7.8 per cent. This release marked the fifth consecutive month where the index has shown a year over year decline.

As shoppers, we all want low prices and for many families, low prices are an undeniable necessity in order to put food on their tables. But at some point, we have to consider where the relentless drive for lower prices will take us, and if it’s somewhere we want to go.

Opinion

SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

Moving from listening to hearing

I

n last week’s column, I suggested that one of the ways to resolve lasting disputes is for those in authority to sit down with those who have grievances and listen to their stories.

There are many who will argue that this has been happening for years and nothing positive has come of it. Unfortunately, they are quite right; and for reasons that are easy to explain.

The church I served in Edmonton celebrated its 100th anniversary while I was there. One of the things we did during that year was to hold a series of listening sessions in which we invited the congregation to gather in small groups and share their ideas of the direction the church should take as it began its second century.

Our facilitator was a church member who had lead similar sessions for corporations and charitable societies across Canada. In addition to her expertise in the field, she was very familiar with the unique personalities to be found in the church. So

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein our first session included roughly 30 minutes of instruction on how to move from listening to hearing.

“One of the first things we all have to do,” she said, “is leave our personal biases, prejudices and preferences outside this room. We have to listen to what others will say with an open mind. Our goal is not to get others to see things our way. Our goal is to hear and understand what others are saying and to accurately interpret their opinions before offering our own.”

The concept described above is not new. Two thousand years ago, St. James in his letter to the church wrote these words: “get rid of all filth and evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.”

(James 1:21)

Those words highlight a problem that has plagued society since creation.

We are not, by nature, open-minded people. Our natural tendency is to allow everything we see and hear to be filtered by the economic, social, political and religious views which we picked up in our early years, acquired on our journey through public and secondary education or developed in the years since thanks to what we have seen, heard or read. The more deeply entrenched our views are, the harder it is for us to be open to ideas presented by those whose views differ from our own.

Case in point—the whole debate over Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women in Canada. The debate has never been over whether or not the issue is a

social or criminal problem.

On that there is general agreement—every case of kidnapping, murder and violence is a criminal act.

The question which needs to be answered is: “Why are so many of these crimes against aboriginal women never solved; and why don’t people seem to be all that concerned about it? Is there a problem in society that is creating, facilitating and maybe even perpetuating this injustice?”

I will be the first to admit that my understanding of this issue is far from what it should be. I am glad to see that we finally have appointed a panel that will conduct an inquiry into this issue.

My hope and prayer is that all concerned will display an open mind and a determination to get to the truth, whatever it may be. And I also hope that all Canadians will display the same open mind when they read the report and the recommendations that the commissioners will present. Our First Nations people and indeed all of us deserve nothing less.

Not just a day off, but a day away

I

t has been a busy summer. The move, the water adventures, the settling in. All wonderful experiences, but busy. I decided that I wanted a day off. I know, I’m retired, every day is a day off. But I wanted a day away. Not serious thinking, nothing strenuous, just relaxing.

Having heard much about the Winnipeg Zoo, not having seen the new polar bear exhibit and wanting to see the new heavy horse barns, I invited a friend who needed a day away as much as I did, and we headed out to the big city.

We chose the Labour Day Monday, and so did thousands of others. We chose to be there before lunch, and so did thousands others! What was delightful was that we moved at our own pace. Riding the complimentary tram was an easy way to get from one end to the other. I do

Off to the side is an Inuit exhibit and a quiet, darkened room where we watched a nine minute clip of life in the north. The scenery was impressive. I have not heard many folks speak of these two features, but if you go see the bears, take a moment and catch the other features.

CEO and Chairman Ray McFeetors, whose personal donation of $2 million was the catalyst for the project.

Great-West Life has pledged an additional $250,000 to name the Great-West Life Paddock within the McFeetors Heavy Horse Centre.’

The barn is gorgeous, if I had one like that I would want horses! On site are four percheron horses, gentle giants, strong and tireless. I appreciate the sentiment expressed – “’Heavy horses were once as common and vital to farming as tractors are today,’ McFeetors said in a news release issued by the zoo .’ As one who grew up in that era, it’s my

privilege to support this exhibit celebrating Manitoba’s agricultural past and to help today’s families experience rural life how it once was.’ Many of us have grand memories of the work of heavy horses, and their role in developing the farming community on the prairies.”

I can’t leave the zoo without stopping at the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden. Again, I appreciate the contribution of a Manitoba pioneer family to provide such an awesome display.

The exotic butterflies were so impressive, and it is easy to simply sit amid the flowers and watch the gentle movement of colours. I want a butterfly chair.

Really, we didn’t go far, and didn’t spend a whack of money. We were home again before supper. Refreshed and renewed for the week ahead.

know that fall is here. Many trees are loosing their leaves, the farmers are very busy to get their crops in the bins before the snow falls or the frost comes. I heard many flocks of geese fly over, honking their way south. Most gardens have produced plenty to supply for the winter months. God did a perfect job when He said “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years” Genesis 1:14.

Let us enjoy the beautiful fall weather and thank God for creating the seasons.

Letters

Be afraid, be very afraid I hope we Canadians are resisting feelings of superiority while watching the horror show unfold before our eyes that is the U.S. election. If we haven’t done it ourselves, I’m sure we’ve seen others wag their fingers or click their tongues at that pitiful excuse for a “Commander-in-Chief,” Donald Trump.

And rightly so. But make no mistake, he has his supporters right here in Canada, too. I just read a letterto-the-editor from a fellow Manitoban, for example, which loudly proclaims “I think we desperately need a Donald Trump here in Canada!”

Odd, isn’t it? Those words are eerily similar to these. “I think Donald Trump would be best for the job.” Who said that? That was the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the U.S. Beating the drum, as Trump does, for a wall on the US-Mexico border and a ban on Muslims, he wears his racism on his sleeve like a badge of honour. How this hateful, lying demagogue can attract supporters here in my country, or anywhere for that matter, leaves me truly gobsmacked.

Trump is a man who is immune to evidence, facts or truth. Up until today, at least, he has clung to the lie he helped manufacture, that President Obama is a Muslim who was not even born in the States.

After sowing those toxic seeds (fuelled, no doubt by the fact that Obama is black) and unleashing the kind of harm only such conspiracy theories can do, he’s had a death-bed repentance. Yes, Obama was US-born, Donald proclaims! I guess, just because Trump has now said it, Obama is finally qualified to carry on in his post! But Trump followed up immediately by launching another bald-faced lie: that Hillary Clinton had started the whole, ugly “birther” controversy. This man does not know when to quit.

He is pathological.

And Canada, of course, once “belonged to the U.S.” and ought to be returned! Trump actually said that? He sure did!

He has also labelled the now well-founded science of man-made climate change as a hoax, having been “created by & for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” He actually promises to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency, the last bastion shielding the American people, their health and their environment, from unbridled destruction by soulless corporations bent on mining and polluting the Earth (and its oceans) to death.

While Trump may have dreamed up his own personal, perverted brand of climate denial, he has plenty of company right here in my country, too.

Trust me, that denial, in one form or another, runs deep. It’s even ingrained to some degree in our educational, journalistic and faith communities.

Not many may come out publicly, as that letterwriter did, to proclaim their support for this “wart on the rump of history.” But I fear they still privately share way too many of his dangerous, misguided beliefs.

Please don’t let another Donald Trump slither into a position of power in Canada. If we do, we should all be afraid. Very afraid.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

In 2016, Honda Civic comes of age

By Ben Castle The Neepawa Banner This time last year, I tested the “old” 2015 Honda Civic and concluded that it remains the nation’s favourite compact car due to its combination of quality, reliability, value, low running costs and a more involving drive than most.

However, despite having only been around for four model years, newer rivals have usurped it in terms of style, power, efficiency, driving experience, refinement and space.

In order to maintain its place at the top of the compact class, Honda released an all-new 10th generation 2016 Civic at the end of 2015 with the intention of addressing these shortcomings. With over 38,000 units sold so far in 2016, it looks like Honda are going to have a bestseller for an 18th year in succession. So, have Honda done enough to ensure the continued dominance of their biggest success story?

Five trim levels The Civic sedan is available in five trim levels: DX, LX, EX, EX-T and Touring.

DX, LX and EX come with a new 2 litre i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower and 138

$2,900 more, LX trim adds an upgraded 180W stereo with eight speakers, audio controls on the steering wheel and 7” touchscreen, split rear seat, automatic climate control, heated front seats, automatic headlights, cruise control, body-coloured door mirrors and the option of the CVT transmission ($1,300). An extra $2,400 for EX trim adds standard CVT, 16” aluminum wheels, dual-zone climate control, Honda LaneWatch blind spot display, power moonroof, proximity entry, push button start and remote engine starter. A $2,300 option on LX and EX models (CVT models only) is Honda sensing technologies. This encompasses forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist system. For a $2,400 premium over EX trim, EX-T gets the more powerful turbocharged engine plus trunk spoiler, 17” aluminum wheels, fog lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel and Honda sensing technologies as standard. Finally, for $2,000 over the EX-T, Touring trim gains a 450W stereo

Civic sedan is available in five trim levels: DX, LX, EX, EX-T and Touring. Civic is also available as a two door coupe in LX, EX-T and Touring trims pound foot of torque paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic transmission (EX is auto only). EX-T and Touring models get a smaller, but more powerful, 1.5 litre direct injection four-cylinder engine with turbocharging, putting out 174 horsepower and 162 pound feet of torque. This engine is only available with the CVT transmission.

They are rated at 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres and 5.5 litres per 100 kilometres highway respectively.

The Civic DX starts at $16,155 and comes with 16 inch wheels, bodycoloured door handles, power locks, windows and heated mirrors, rearview camera, folding rear seat, Bluetooth, projector-beam headlights, tilt and telescope steering wheel and ECON mode with ECO assist. The Civic DX is manual transmission only. For

with 10 speakers, HD and XM radio and navigation, leather seats with heaters in the rear, LED headlights, power front seats, wireless cellphone charging, autodimming rear view mirror and chrome door handles.

Civic is also available as a two door coupe in LX, EX-T and Touring trims. Expect to pay around $400 more than the equivalent sedan, but you do get standard aluminum wheels on LX Coupe and steering-wheel mounted paddleshifters on turbo models. In 2017, a hatchback bodystyle will also be added to the Civic range.

Bold look My tester supplied by Forman Honda in Brandon was the $27,155 Civic Sedan Touring with the CVT transmission and more powerful turbocharged motor. Honda has gone for a bold new look,

which means that it looks very unique compared to the competition. I was unsure about this departure at first but having lived with it for 24 hours, I now think it looks crisp, modern and the sleek, fastback profile should stand the test of time well. Perhaps the styling is a little coloursensitive but in the bright Aegean blue of our tester and in sporty Touring trim,

“

With over 38,000 units sold so far in 2016, it looks like Honda are going to have a bestseller for an 18th year in succession.

I think that it looks great.

The C-shaped taillights are a particularly nice feature and the whole car looks a lot more grown up than before.

Civic now has class-leading levels of interior space This upmarket feel continues inside with comfortable, supportive seats, a more attractive dashboard design and nicer quality materials. Honda has ditched the controversial two-tier dash and the still digital speedometer is now integrated in the centre of the analogue TFT tachometer display.

PHOTO BY BEN CASTLE

Continued from page B4 Technology fans will love the capacitive touch controls for volume and ventilation on the steering wheel and touchscreen, as well as Honda’s unique LaneWatch blind spot display (standard on EX and above), which gives you a wide-angle camera image down the passenger’s side of the car.

It’s an excellent and potentially life-saving feature. I am also happy to say that Honda has integrated the camera much better into the exterior mirror design than on the previous Civic. My only gripe is that the steering wheel is now a little button “heavy” and as a result, the functions are not quite as easy and intuitive to use as on my 2013 Civic.

Thanks in part to a longer wheelbase, Civic now has class-leading levels of interior space for rear passengers and at 428 litres, the trunk is both deeper and over 20 per cent larger than the old car. The middle rear seat passenger will not suffer much intrusion from the centre console but the flat floor of the previous Civic has now gained a small transmission tunnel.

I expect that this has been done to lower road noise and stiffen the structure of the

car. Impressively, despite being larger, the new Civic is now on average spec-for-spec 2.5 per cent lighter than before.

How is it to drive?

So how is it to drive? I was fortunate to be accompanied by Darren Frederick of Rivers and his 2 litre Civic LX sedan, also equipped with CVT transmission (the dark-coloured car in the picture on page B06), so I was lucky to be able to try both engines. Even the lesser two litre engine has around 10 per cent more power than the old 1.8 litre and still feels strong.

Both engines have a very smooth, linear power delivery with the CVT transmission, which masks the turbocharged nature of the turbo engine very well and only when you require more power for overtaking will you really notice the extra torque available. In the turbo, the transmission felt a little sluggish around town initially, but once acclimatized, it’s very responsive and makes the “Sport” mode a little redundant. Unusually, this transmission has no manual override.

B6 THE BANNER

SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

All Civic trim levels have something to offer Continued from page B5 If you enjoy shifting gears, you’ll either need to go for the DX or LX with the six-speed manual transmission or the Coupe with the turbo engine, which does come with paddleshifters for the CVT transmission. It’s a little clichéd but the cabin feels very cockpit-like and you sit hunkered down in the driver’s seat, rather than on it, which gives you a greater feeling of security and the whole car feels a lot more substantial than the previous Civic.

The steering has a bit more weight, which gives you more feel of what is happening at the front wheels and encourages you to exploit the excellent chassis, while the view over the sculpted hood allows you to place the car on the road very easily. The suspension copes with bumps very well and is just on the sporty side of comfortable. I noticed a bit more road noise in the turbo, probably due to the larger 17 inch wheels, so if you value refinement over performance and looks, then you may prefer the

than the outgoing Civic, but for the kit offered (typically more than the competition), all trim levels offer good value. Most people will want a minimum of LX trim for climate and cruise and manual transmission fans are limited to DX or LX spec.

two litre models, equipped with 16 inch wheels.

Contrary to the official figures, I averaged 8.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the turbo, which was a little disappointing and 7.3 litres per 100 kilometres in the two litre, which was pretty good. However, I was not driving the turbo for economy and I have no doubt that the highway figure is achievable on a longer road trip.

THE DISPATCH On Sept. 2, Neepawa RCMP conducted a roadside stop of a quad in Neepawa. A female driver was unable to produce any registration for the quad. Police conducted a check of the quad based on the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and were informed that the quad was stolen. As a result, the quad was towed and impounded. The owner of the quad was able to produce a bill of sale from a used vehicle dealership in Winnipeg. At this time, it does not appear that the current owner was aware that the quad was stolen, however, is now out of a quad that he had purchased legally. No charges have been laid as the owner was unaware that the quad purchased was stolen.

Anyone found in possession of stolen property can be charged under the Criminal Code with Possession of Stolen Property. Due to the amount of Break and Enters presently going on in the Province, individuals who plan on purchasing, or have purchased, any vehicle or property, can go online to the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) website and perform a search of a VIN and/ or Serial Number. If you

receive a positive result, please contact your local RCMP Detachment for assistance. The website to search vehicles and property can be found at www. cpic-cipc.ca On Sept. 5, Neepawa RCMP received a call to the Number 5 Store in Riding Mountain in regards to a shoplifting complaint.

It was reported that two individuals were caught on camera stealing items from the store. Police attended and viewed the video footage from the store. Upon leaving the store, one suspect was seen driving past the store in a vehicle. The vehicle was located and a female was arrested and taken into custody. Police later attended another residence in Riding Mountain and located a male who was also seen on the video. Matthew Reddaway of Dauphin was arrested for the theft.

Checks on Reddaway also showed that he was breaching conditions of his Court Order. Matthew Reddaway was charged with theft, two counts of breaching conditions of his Probation Order and one count of breaching conditions of his Undertaking.

On Sept. 12, Neepawa RCMP attended a residence in Minnedosa to execute

a warrant of arrest on an individual for breaching conditions of his release.

Once at the residence, police noted that the individual was inside and refusing to answer the door for police. As a result, another warrant was issued for police to enter the residence. The warrant was granted and police entered the residence and arrested David Bold of Minnedosa without incident. Once in the residence, police noted drugs and drug paraphernalia in the residence. Another Search Warrant was drawn up and approved. A search of the residence was conducted and police located drugs and drug paraphernalia in the residence. As a result, David Bold was charged with three counts of failing to comply with condition of his Recognizance and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

As schools resume classes this month for the start of a new school year, a reminder for all motorists to pay extra attention for kids walking to and from school. As Neepawa has no designated speed enforcement areas in the school zones, do drive with more due care and attention.
