Event aims to help Make 150 Count for children’s mental health

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner Children’s mental health is an important issue for NACI Grade 12 student Kassia Hollier. A peer helper since she came to the school in Grade 10, she’s seen first hand the challenges that many students face as they navigate growing up in today’s world. Next Wednesday, she’s hosting a free family movie night to help let both parents and children know about some of the supports available.

The movie night is being funded by an RBC Make 150 Count grant Hollier received. Through this initiative, RBC is giving $150 to young Canadians across the country and asking them to use it to make a positive impact in their communities. Hollier has also been a member of HOPE, NACI’s social justice group, since Grade 10 and early this year, representatives from the local RBC branch came to speak to HOPE members about Make 150 Count. Hollier was one of the students who submitted an application outlining how they would spend the money. In March, she found out that she had won a $150 grant based on her idea to host a

movie night in support of children’s mental health. “I wanted to really make an impact,” said Hollier.

The movie night will be Wednesday, May 24 and while she initially wanted to hold an outdoor event, given the uncertain weather and the late sunsets, she decided to host it at the NACI gym. The movie will get underway at 6:30 p.m., meaning that it won’t be too late an evening for families.

Hollier will be showing the animated feature, Inside Out. The movie follows Riley, an 11 year old girl from the American Midwest whose world is turned upside down when her family moves to San Francisco. Riley’s emotions, including Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, guide her through this life changing event.

The movie certainly has an education component, as writer-director Pete Docter consulted with renowned psychologist Paul Ekman, known for his pioneering research on emotions, and Dacher Keltner, codirector of the Greater Good Science Center and psychology professor at

the University of California, Berkeley, when writing the script. Hollier is planning to have information about how the movie connects to children’s mental health and supports available locally.

The movie night ties strongly with Hollier’s work in the peer helper program, which trains about 20 students to talk to other students who might be facing challenges and don’t feel comfortable talking to an adult. Hollier said that they might meet with the students in person or talk with them through text message. As a peer helper, they also see the results of surveys completed by students.

“Mental health is a huge issue… Children don’t get help,” said Hollier of the survey results. She adds that there are a lot of supports available,

but many kids, and their families, don’t know they exist. “It’s really important to identify what people need, especially as a kid…

If someone doesn’t know how to ask for help, they won’t find it,” said Hollier.

Showtime will be at 6:30 pm, on May 24. The movie is free and popcorn and drinks will be available for purchase. While the movie night is to provide information about children’s mental health, Hollier said she hopes to use any money raised at the event to support area children with mental disabilities.

She explained that she is hoping to be able to contribute to the purchase of some equipment that can be used by students at HMK who have mental or physical disabilities.

What’s old is new

Making the right moves Lots to consider both for individuals and governments but the key word is consider

T

he PC Manitoba government is making some definite moves. Fortunately, most of them are moves the province needs. The latest is the rise in minimum wage.

They are planning a 15 cent raise per hour on Oct. 1, 2017.

Following that, wages will increase at the rate of inflation and that is a good thing. We have had constant and doggedly determined minimum wage increases for years with no regard to inflation or the employer’s ability to pay.

The NDP, and many others, argue that we need a $15 minimum wage. It’s obvious an arbitrary level, as $15 is the same wage being sought in California. The unions would love a higher minimum wage that they could use to bash employers to raise all other wages. The problem is that arbitrary wage increases don’t take into account inflation or anything else actually that may reflect the economy.

The proponents of a higher minimum wage and twice yearly wage increases don’t take a serious look at what happens when minimum wages are bumped up. Some of the increases goes to higher income taxes and employee deductions. Sometimes, employers find ways of reducing the number of workers or number of hours so as to lower the wage load on the businesses. Hours may be reduced or better equipment purchased. Hand labour may be replaced by bigger and faster machines. Kiosks and robotic service show up and that may cut down on labour costs and actual jobs.

There have also been cases where upward spiralling labour costs have forced business owners to cease operations.

Businesses close all the time for various reasons, but labour

costs are a big factor.

It would make a lot more sense, if a society and a government is truly concerned about lower income people, if the tax deduction threshold was raised. Manitobans pay taxes at a far lower income level than many other provinces and that adversely affects lower income people.

There has been renewed talk about a minimum income initiative. The 1970s’ Dauphin experiment has often been cited, where a minimum income was implemented for a few years. The topic keeps coming up, but it is a very complicated approach. What needs to happen is to determine the poverty level for an individual person.

Once that is done, then the government should work towards not levying any federal or provincial income taxes against that level of income. Most people file income tax returns, so the government pretty much knows what everyone’s income is. If they fall below the minimum level, they get a rebate.

That said, if a minimum income program comes into place, there would be no more social assistance payments.

All these wonderful things can be implemented but it will take a lot of thought and planning. It’s fine to implement a minimum income program, but do you do it for individuals or for families? Do you apply minimum income rules to both spouses and step it up depending on the number of children? Would minimum income eliminate child tax credits? Would minimum income be at a different level for different parts of the country? Would minimum income eliminate the need for subsidized day care?

Would minimum income allow more parents to be stay at home moms and dads? That is happening a lot more as the cost of day care increases and the demand for spaces outstrips the supply. More and more families are leaving one parent at home as they consider the cost of day care, then all the extra costs of working outside the home.

Lots to consider both for individuals and governments but the key word is consider.

If it is well thought out, a good solution can be found, be it at the individual or family levels or at a governmental level.

ften times, what’s old is new and in many ways, today’s businesses are returning to the tactics used by their predecessors over a century ago. The technology may have changed, but businesses are once again realizing that they need to take an active role in engaging with their customers, instead of just waiting for them to show up.

Catalogues were a staple of 19th and early 20th century retailing, Eaton’s was just one of MY the many busi- PERSPECTIVE nesses that built a crossCanadian empire through ate mail order. The model took ackman tkinson them right into their custome r s ’ h om e s , loudly proclaiming who they were and what they sold. Then, transportation got faster, easier and cheaper and businesses realized that they didn’t have to get into their customers’ homes, the customers would come to them. But things have changed once more.

Transportation has become even faster and even easier and the internet has opened up much of the world to consumers in rural and remote communities— shoppers are now spoiled for choice. Once again, businesses are realizing the importance of being where their customers are, either physically or virtually, and the need to speak directly to them.

Earlier this year, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business did a survey to better understand how Canadian small businesses were using technology to interact with their customers. According to the results, businesses are increasingly embracing digital technologies. The survey found that 79 per cent of respondents said digital technologies were very important and another 38 per cent said they were somewhat important. Digital adoption was seen as Businesses realized being especially that they didn’t have important in the arts, recreation to get into their and information customers’ homes, sectors.

Most of the rethe customers would spondents (79 per come to them. cent) had their own websites and But things have their use of social changed once more. media has risen to 52 per cent, up from 27 per cent in 2012. Not surprisingly, businesses that sell to individual consumers tended to be more active in digital technologies: having an online store, a regularly updated website and being more active on social media, Facebook in particular.

Businesses less than five years old were also more likely to use digital technologies than more established companies, likely because they are more actively promoting their business and because younger entrepreneurs may be more familiar with social media and therefore, more comfortable with its use.

A digital presence isn’t a necessity, but it makes a business much easier to be found by customers, existing and new, close and far away. But digital technology comes with a price and that’s what holds small businesses back from venturing further into the digital world. CFIB’s survey found that 63.5 per cent of businesses found digital technologies too time consuming and 35.7 per cent found them too costly. Additionally, businesses cited challenges such as a lack of access to high speed internet, something with which many rural entrepreneurs are familiar.

For businesses that want to grow, a digital presence of some kind is essential. This is especially the case for rural businesses, that by nature have a smaller pool of local customer from which to draw. For many rural businesses, their future will be found increasingly beyond their door steps, they just need to know how to open the door and help those customers find them.

How much is enough?

s promised in their campaign, Manitoba’s government has introduced legislation that limits pay increases for government employees. This is one element in an overall plan to reduce the rate of increase in the provincial governments annual expenditures. The other is to look for efficiencies in the system—something that, in my view, may be much more difficult to achieve.

Reaction to the government’s move was predictable. Those who will be directly impacted by this legislation have called it anything from “scandalous” to “shameful” to “brutally unfair.” Protest marches have been held.

Delegations have met with provincial officials. Social, electronic and print media have been flooded with advertisements. We could be in for another long, hot summer in Manitoba—one we won’t be able to blame on climate change (if you get my drift).

Now don’t get me wrong.

I do not begrudge anyone a living wage. I believe that

I

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein people should be compensated for the work they do, and that the rate of compensation should be linked to the training they have taken and their years of experience on the job.

But the question every wage earner needs to ask is this: “How much is enough? Will the pay increase I’m seeking help meet my needs or will it feed my greed?” That’s a tough question to ask; and it will require the highest degree of transparency we can muster to answer it honestly.

Ancient wisdom, found in the writings of St. Paul will help us here. In his first letter to Timothy, he reminds us that “we brought nothing into this world and it is certain that we will carry nothing out. So, if we have food and clothing, let us learn to be content with

Taking in the ordinary

t was one of those little quotes included in the Reader’s Digest, under the heading ‘Advice on Life’ – ‘We’re all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary’, Brene Brown. Brené Brown studies human connection — our ability to empathize, belong, love. She has been a featured guest on TED talk and Oprah, the author of several books. I admire her values and appreciate her writing.

This little quote has stopped me more than once, “Be grateful for the ordinary”. Having re-read the quote before my morning walk, with my dogs, my goal was to stop and notice the ordinary.

these.” (1 Timothy 6:7-8) His focus is on our level of contentment—not our level of compensation.

Unfortunately, in our society, the focus has shifted away from contentment to an attitude that the Bible calls “covetousness.” We look at what we have, we compare it with what others have and are taken captive by jealousy, anger and greed—three components of covetousness.

We want what they’ve got.

If we can’t afford it, we charge it—go into debt to get what we want; believing that when we get it, we will have enough—we will be content.

But are we content? No! Covetousness is as addictive as a narcotic. We crave, we get, it satisfies us until we see something else that we want. Then the feelings erupt again, we give in to

them and incur additional debt. But we are never satisfied. What we have is never enough.

It’s time we took St. Paul’s advice to heart. He was not immune to covetous thoughts. He had them too. But he refused to give in to them. He confronted them head on. He chose the path of self-denial. He did what he advised Timothy to do—he “learned” to be content with what he had.

Breaking the grip covetousness has on us isn’t easy. Contentment is a learned behavior. We must take deliberate steps to reduce the amount we consume. Only buy what we need. Only replace possessions that have worn out. Where we can, downsize. Give away items that we don’t need so that others can make good use of them. We can learn to do more with less; to live more simply.

If you have received what you need for today, thank God for it. If you’ve received more, share it with others. Your generosity will be noted and God will reward you for it.

Investing in Riding Mountain National Park On May 16, the Government of Canada announced an investment of close to $6 million in federal infrastructure funding for Riding Mountain National Park. The announcement was made by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, Catherine McKenna and the Minister of Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South Centre, Jim Carr. “As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation, the Government of Canada is proud to invest in the protection and conservation of our national parks and historic sites. Through infrastructure investments at Parks Canada places, we are supporting local economies and contributing to growth in the tourism sector, while ensuring high-quality and meaningful visitor experiences for years to come. I encourage Canadians to visit our national treasures, like Riding Mountain National Park, as part of their Canada 150 celebrations,” said McKenna.

With 3,000 square kilometres of protected land, Riding Mountain National Park is Manitoba’s oldest national park. Sitting atop the Manitoba Escarpment, the forested parkland stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding prairie farmland. Popular attractions for visitors include Grey Owl’s historic cabin, the landmark of the East Gate and 400 km of trails.

The funding will support infrastructure projects such as the restoration of at least a dozen iconic heritage buildings, including the East Gate National Historic Site, the Bandstand on the shores of Clear Lake and Grey Owl’s Cabin. In addition, the exhibits, lobby and theatre of the Visitor’s Centre will be completely renewed. These improvements will ensure that more Canadians, including youth and newcomers, can learn about our environment and cultural heritage, while experiencing the natural wonder of Riding Mountain.

“Canada’s national parks and national historic sites enable Canadians to experience their rich history and heritage in a special way and will play a big part in the celebration of Canada 150. Our government is committed to preserving and protecting our national parks and this investment is further confirmation of that. This funding will go a long way to ensuring that all Canadians can experience Riding Mountain National Park to its fullest,” said Carr.

These newly announced projects are in addition to phase two of Highway 10 rehabilitation and paving work, which will be completed and phase three will be implemented throughout July and August.

Investments in visitor infrastructure – such as trails, visitor centres and campgrounds, as well as highways, parkways and bridges – will ensure the quality and reliability of visitor facilities and continue to allow Canadians to connect with nature. These infrastructure investments are vital to creating middle class jobs and sustained economic growth. Additionally, Parks Canada’s ‎destinations form important cornerstones for the tourism industry that is such an important part of our economy and employs so many across the country.

The Government is also very pleased to offer free admission for all visitors to national parks, historic sites and marine conservation areas in 2017. As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation, the Government of Canada is helping create opportunities for Canadians across Canada to participate in a year-long celebration and help shape the best that Canada can be in the future.

The $6 million investment in RMNP is part of a five year program to invest $3 billion in infrastructure work to heritage, tourism, waterway and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas across Canada.

Area resident wins Fuel to Win prize Busy few months for Silver Spurs

By Makenna Sumner Neepawa Silver Spurs 4-H Club The Neepawa Silver Spurs 4-H club have had a few busy months! March 10, I competed in Zone 1 Communications night in Minnedosa. In April, we had a book meeting, at which time, we talked about deworming and we did a special test at the vet clinic. We also had a special day where we learned about horsemanship. We attended the Horse 3 workshop in Brandon on April 15.

In May, we started our weekly riding meetings with our instructor, Tara Levandoski. At our riding meetings, we worked on horsemanship, loping, trotting, circles, patterns, and stretching our horses PHOTO BY JOHN DRINKWATER

Shannon Blondeau, from Lakeland, MB, recently won a vacation getaway as part of Federated Co-operatives’ Fuel to Win promotion. Blondeau said, “I first realized I had won when affixing the last sticker in the promotion book. Initially, my family and I were in a state of disbelief. Now that our win has been confirmed, we are ecstatic!” The vacation is valued at $5,000 and arranged through Marlin Travel. Blondeau, principal of William Morton Collegiate in Gladstone, commented, “As a family, we will discuss when to book, maybe spring break and decide on a location, possibly Mexico.” Pictured (from left): Dan Soltys (Neepawa Gladstone Grocery Store Manager), Joselito Manas (Gladstone Co-op Grocery Store Manager), Shannon Blondeau and Dayle Barrass (Assistant Manager Gladstone Co-op C-Store).

All four members of our club participated in the 4-H Food Challenge this past Saturday. We worked in partners to cook up a tasty egg dish. The same day of the Food Challenge, I enjoyed the 4-H Fun and Recognition Day held in Shoal Lake. I chose two activities to do there. I made a wooden sign and I also braided horse reins.

The morning of June 17 is our Achievement day at the Neepawa fair grounds.

The plant would be upgraded by adding a greensand filtration system to the existing chlorination system. The plant would continue to withdraw an average of 0.33 litres per second of water from two wells located 6.5 km northeast of the community. Backwash water from the plant would be discharged three times a week to the Glenella Drain, which flows east to the Big Grass River and then to Jackfish Lake. Construction of the facility is proposed for 2017.

Helen Drysdale OUT OF HELEN’S KITCHEN

Robin Hood flour mills Robin Hood Flour Mills was established in 1909, at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

The company’s greenand-red archer emblem established itself as one of the most trusted names in Canadian kitchens. In 1915 it published its first of many cookbooks. My grandmother emigrated from France in 1912 as a teenager with her family.

She later purchased this cookbook and used it to feed her family of eight children. I am proud to have inherited this cookbook for my collection.

Robin Hood in its forward states, “No pains have been spared to make the Robin Hood cookbook the finest example of modern printing.” Written by Mrs. Rorer, an author of many books on cooking, it features beautiful artwork by the artist, Mr. Moen. My grandma’s copy features splatters of the ingredients used in the recipes she made. I know which recipes she favored the most by the amount of splatters!

Devil’s food cake from my grandma’s 1915 Robin Hood cookbook, used with permission.

One egg One cupful of sugar Two ounces of chocolate Two-thirds of a cupful of milk Quarter cupful of butter

One and a half cupfuls of Robin Hood flour Two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder One teaspoonful of vanilla

Grate the chocolate into the milk and stir it over the fire until it is thoroughly melted. Beat the butter into a cream, add the egg, beaten without separating, and the sugar; when light, add the chocolate mixture and then stir in the flour and baking powder, sifted. Bake in two layers and put together with caramel filling.

2 cups flour 2/3 cup cocoa powder 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt

Cream butter. Add the sugar, eggs, vanilla and banana and beat well. In another bowl, stir the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Add the buttermilk, then the flour and stir well. Place in a 9x13” lightly greased cake pan and bake in 350° for 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Neepawa-area parents interested in French education for their children will have an opportunity to learn more at an information session hosted

by Ecole Jours de Plaine.

Located in Laurier, about 80 km north of Neepawa, Ecole Jours de Plaine is a member of the Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine (DSFM) and provides education from pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Principal Leah DelaurierBray said that at the information session, they will talk to parents about the school and the opportunities they offer. The school offers education entirely in French and Delaurier-Bray explains that in addition to learning the French language, students also learn about French culture, with cultural activities such as dance, music and camps.

This is the second information session the school has held in the area, the first was in Dauphin at the end of January.

Delaurier-Bray said they are hoping to reach out

to both those within the Francophone community and those interested in a French education for their children. She explains that young children find it easy to learn a new language and additional language skills can open doors to travel and work opportunities.

“It’s such a gift,” she said.

While the school is small, the seven small schools in the DSFM, spread across Manitoba, make use of technology to ensure a quality education for students. For example, the physics teacher is based at Ecole Jours de Plaine, while the chemistry teacher is based in St. Claude. Technology connects students and teachers across the division.

With 57 students in the school, they have many opportunities to build leadership skills and are given greater responsibilities within the school. Delaurier-Bray said that the small school also leads to a family-like atmosphere, something they work to maintain. For example, some of the older students babysit younger kids at school functions, including the Neepawa information session.

In addition to representatives from the school, there will also representatives from the school division to answer questions about issues such as transportation.

The event will take place May 25 at 6:00 pm at ArtsForward, 293 Mountain Ave. Neepawa.

Neepawa Gun Show continues to grow

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The latest round of the Neepawa Wildlife Association’s (NWA) Gun and Collectibles Show was an overwhelming success. The event, held on Saturday, May 13 at the Yellowhead Arena, featured 32 total exhibitors, including booths for both business vendors and local service organizations. The vendors showcased a massive variety of rifles and air pistols. As well, a wide array of hunting peripherals, fishing and camping equipment were also connected to the day.

Coordinator Harris Lowe said having such a tremendous hunting culture within the region ensured that the show would be a huge hit.

“There’s a long history of people hunting, fishing, shooting and that

translates to a lot of interest in an event like this,” said Lowe. “Last year, there were about 26 exhibitors who participated.

For this year, our numbers for exhibitors and tables were up. As well, the paid attendance was higher.

After the day was done, many of the vendors indicated that they were very happy with the number of customers they saw coming through the door and that they would come back next year.”

As for changes to the event in 2018, Lowe noted that many exhibitors suggested that a slight adjustment to the date of the show might be a positive.

“They thought that if we made any changes in the future, the first one should be shifting the show to the first weekend of May. The reasoning behind that is that the schedule for these types

of shows can get a bit congested during the summer. There seems to be something going on every weekend. A move to the first week of May could give some exhibitors, who had indicated interest but were unable to attend, the ability to attend,” Lowe said. “As well, changing the date could ensure we avoid a conflict with the first day of fishing.

(Manitoba’s angling season opened on Monday, May 8.) There were a few people who thought that moving the date forward could get a few more people attending instead of being out at the lake.”

With the 2017 show now history, Lowe thanked many local businesses and individuals for their support for both the show and raffle. As for the proceeds from the event, they will go towards the Neepawa Junior Rifle Club.

4-H Food Challenge

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner For many youngsters nowadays, their level of cooking expertise may be limited to simply whatever they’re able put in the microwave. That’s certainly not the case for members of the Manitoba 4-H Council, who put their culinary skills to the test at the 4-H Food Challenge in Neepawa.

The competition, held on Saturday, May 13 at Neepawa’s First Baptist Church, featured teams of two 4-H members from across western Manitoba, preparing certain dishes and being judged on their food preparation and team work. The teams were placed in one of two categories (junior and intermediate class), with the winner of each competition moving on to the Provincial 4-H Food Challenge, set for Brandon on June 10. The winners of the Food Challenge were not released for media publication.

Help plants survive the sizzling summer heat Metro News Service Submitted

METRO NEWS SERVICE

With some care plants can survive the summer heat

Many people consider summer the most enjoyable time of year, as the summer sun and warm breezes make the season perfect for rest and relaxation. But the months of June, July and August, which are often characterized by rising temperatures and stifling humidity, can be tough to endure as well.

When summer heat becomes especially uncomfortable, humans can simply head indoors and beat the heat in air conditioned buildings and homes. Plant life is not so lucky, and homeowners may need to take steps to help the plant life on their properties survive the summer heat.

• Monitor soil moisture.

Soil moisture, or a lack thereof, can help homeowners determine if their plants are struggling to survive the heat. To check soil moisture levels, use a ruler or even your finger, sticking either two inches into the ground where you suspect the soil is drying out. If the soil is damp

two inches below the surface, then your plants are likely retaining enough moisture to withstand the heat. If the soil is dry two inches below, then you may want to give the soil a deep soak.

• Keep an eye on container gardens. Containers may have an especially difficult time staying moist in the summer heat. That’s particularly true for containers that sit in direct sunlight.

Water container gardens daily during summer heat waves, being sure to adhere to any local water restrictions.

• Lay down mulch.

Mulch helps insulate and protect soil during summer, when soil can quickly dry out. When applied correctly (ideally before summer temperatures get too hot), mulch helps the soil conserve moisture and prevents weed growth. Weeds can rob soil of the water it needs to promote strong root systems, which can help plants get the nutrients they need to withstand

summer heat. Mulched soils also do not experience the fluctuations in temperature that nonmulched soils can experience during summer heat waves, helping plants to grow evenly.

• Move plants when possible. Plant location can affect their chances of surviving summer heat. Driveways lined with flowers or other plants may look nice, but driveways exposed to the sun can radiate heat at temperatures that exceed the temperatures noted on

Move container plants beneath trees on hot days, and consider summer heat waves before planting new flower beds.

Summer heat can be especially harmful to plant life. But homeowners can employ various strategies to protect the plant life on their properties when temperatures rise during the dog days of summer.

How to transform a fixer upper

Metro News Service Submitted The real estate market will always have its ups and downs, but real estate is an oft-profitable investment.

Real estate investors do their investing for various reasons. Some see a house as a place to hang their hats for years and years, while others look at properties as nothing more than investments.

Buying a home with the intent to fix it up and resell it is called a “fix and flip.” In such situations, investors buy homes at below-market prices before refurbishing the homes with the goal of recouping their initial investment and then some when the homes are ultimately put back on the market. Flipping has become popular for both expert remodelers and novice investors. RealtyTrac®, the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, noted in its “Year-End and Q4 2015 U.S. Home Flipping” report that 5.5 percent of all single family home and condo sales during the year were flipped

properties. This marked an increase from the same time the previous year.

Investing in a fixer-upper requires a leap of faith and a vision of what the home can look like in the future.

Turning a real estate lemon into lemonade requires certain skills and a good measure of patience. The following are some guidelines to get anyone started.

• Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Make an honest assessment of your abilities and which renovations, if any, you can handle. If you are unskilled or inexperienced working with your hands, then it can be easy for an investment property to quickly become a money pit. Before purchasing a property, hire a trained home inspector to tour the home with you and point out all of the areas that will need renovation.

With this list, begin getting estimates on how much money the work will entail.

Determine if this fits with your budget or not. You do not want to invest so

much that it exceeds what you could feasibly recoup when it comes time to sell.

• Overlook cosmetic things when visiting properties. Cosmetic issues include all of the easily replaceable items in a home, such as carpeting, appliances, interior paint colors and cabinetry. Focus on the bones of the house — the architectural integrity and those little touches that you envision having a “wow” factor.

• Seek the help of experts. Some flippers think they’ll save the most money by doing all of the work themselves.

This isn’t always the case.

Professional architects, designers and contractors may help you save money.

Contractors have an intimate knowledge of where to buy materials and may be able to negotiate prices based on wholesale or trade costs. In addition, experts can help you avoid common pitfalls because they’ve already done this type of work time and again. It’s smart to rely on expert advice, even if it means investing a little bit more.

• Save money by doing some work yourself.

While the pros may tackle the more complex parts of a given project, such as rewiring electricity or

changing the footprint of a home, you can still be involved. Ask to participate in demolition, such as taking down walls or removing old materials from the home. Such participation may be fun, and it can save you substantial amounts of money on labor.

• Recognize that not everything must be completely redone. Realize that, in some instances, a coat of paint and some new accents may be all you need to transform a space.

For example, if kitchen cabinets are in good condition, see if they can be refaced or painted instead of replaced entirely. Install new door pulls/handles to add visual interest. Look for some ready-made items, such as bookshelves, instead of installing custom carpentry.

• Think about what the buyer wants and not what you want. Renovate with an eye toward prospective buyers’ needs. Keep things neutral and accommodating. Research the latest trends to understand what buyers might be seeking in a home. You want potential buyers to envision themselves moving right in.

Renovating a fixer-upper takes time, but it can be a worthwhile project, and one that can help anyone turn a profit in a booming real estate market.

Neepawa Cubs aiming for a successful season

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The Neepawa Cubs are hopeful that 2017 will be one to remember. The senior AA club began the Santa Clara Baseball League (SCBL) regular season on Wednesday, May 17, in Minnedosa against the Mavericks final score unavailable before Banner publication deadline. Results will appear in Wednesday, May 24 edition of the Neepawa Press).

Heading into the season opener, Cubs manager Scott Newton noted that the early part of the year would see them facing several difficult foes, in the form of the powerhouse Mavericks and the defending league champs, the Portage Padres. Newton stressed, however, that facing this level of competition early in the year is a good thing, because it’ll be a true indicator as to how the club truly stacks up.

“If we want to be the top club, we have to beat these guys, but we’re confident in our roster and really motivated this season. The core of this team is solid from top to bottom. There is some real potential here, we just have be consistent out on the field. I think, if we do that, this is a club that can compete with anyone on any given day,” stated Newton.

This season, the Santa Clara Baseball League will feature eight clubs playing a 14 game schedule.

Clarke’s Funeral Home, Gladstone~MacGregor www.clarkesfuneralhome.com Muriel Cherry It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear Auntie Muriel, on April 26th, 2017. Muriel was predeceased by her parents, one sister, and one brother and is survived by her nieces and nephews. Auntie Muriel was a kindergarten teacher in Neepawa, MB for over 30 years and very well-known in her community. As a primary educator, she was the perfect person to have as a role model for a child’s formative years. She was an upbeat person that would greet everyone she met with a big smile and a ”How are you today”? Muriel always tried to see the best in people and when told someone’s latest tale of woe, she would often shake her head, roll her eyes and say, “I just don’t know how it is all going to end.”

Our Auntie was a peaceful soul that wholly embraced her rural upbringing, as she was extremely nature oriented.

There wasn’t a constellation, a flower or bird that ever missed her attention. When Muriel retired, she took a leap of faith and moved to the city so she could be closer to her family. Although she was now an urban dweller, she never forgot her rural roots and as a result, many trips were made with the family back to where her story all began.

She enjoyed sharing the stories of her childhood with all of us and we enjoyed seeing the places that made her who she was and the towns that she once had called her home.

For the past 17 years, Muriel’s patio was the meeting place for her family, friends, and neighbours. Even the dogs in the neighbourhood made a special stop at Auntie’s patio for some attention and a special treat. All were welcome there for a chat, a laugh, or a cookie. The family would like to thank the 4th floor staff at the Victoria hospital for their care and concern during our Auntie’s brief stay. Muriel was a true animal lover and over the years ,she shared her home with numerous pets and we ask that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made in her memory to the Winnipeg Humane Society. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service in her honor will take place Friday May 26th at 1:00 pm at Faith Lutheran Church, 1311 Dakota Street in Wpg. Muriel was a kind, gentle and truly beautiful person who touched many lives. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Do not weep for I am gone, My memory shall linger on Do not cry, nor shed a tear Smile and remember, that I was here

Obituary Millie Boxall After a brief illness, Millie Boxall passed away May 11, 2017 in the Neepawa Hospital. Millie was born October 25, 1927, to Fred and Christine Heinz, in Waldersee, Manitoba. She attended Cory School and was baptized and confirmed in the Waldersee Lutheran Church.

Millie met Robert Boxall after he was discharged from the army and were married in 1948 and were blessed with three children.

Mom loved her gardening and flowers. In later years, she was very proud of her flowers, especially her geraniums.

Millie will be remembered by her three children, daughter Judy (Ernie), grandchildren Vincent (Mariann) and Melissa and her children Jesse, Nathan, Benjamin; daughter Diane (Danny) their son Robert (Caren) and his children Clayton, Dalton and Jacob; their son B.J (Nicole) and his children Dustin, Katelynn and Emily; son Donald (Val) grandchildren Kimberley and Connor; sister Adeline Larsen and sister in law Hazel Zdan.

Clarke’s Funeral Home, Gladstone~MacGregor www.clarkesfuneralhome.com Arnold Howard Kingdon November 10, 1937 - May 4, 2017 Arnold was born on the family farm in the Empire District to Walter and Annie Kingdon. He attended the Empire School, right across the road, and spent his entire life on the family farm with his parents, until their passing.

He ran the family farm until failing health forced him to move into Minnedosa. He always dreamed of returning to the farm.

His love for animals started at a young age and continued for his entire life. He always had cattle, horses, and a dog. He enjoyed working with horses and in later years, he would hitch up his team and drive them in parades, weddings, and even to Clanwilliam for coffee with his friends.

Arnold also loved helping his mother with her huge garden and the bounty was always shared! He was always willing to lend a hand and enjoyed helping friends, neighbours, and anyone who needed it.

Arnold enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He will be remembered for the love of animals, teasing his nieces and nephews, playing cards, slow pitch in his younger years, and telling stories at his coffee outings.

He was predeceased by his parents, brother Art, and brother-in-law Don Cameron. Arnold will always be fondly remembered by his twin brother Ken (Edie) and family (Louise and Trent), (Lesley and Rick), his sister Joyce Cameron and family (Cheryl, Kevin, Ken and Debbie), sister-in-law Bernice and family (Arlene and Morris, Arlett and Glenn, Lyle, Denise), and Aunt Tanya and family from Thunder Bay. Many grand and greatgrand nieces and nephews as well.

Donations in Arnold's memory can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Minnedosa Personal Care Home.

Do not mourn my passing, For if you could only see, By slipping all my earthly bonds, I'm young again and free.

By day I run the heavenly fields, My body well and strong, At night I sleep at Angel's feet, Lulled by celestial song.

So do not mourn my passing, Just close your eyes you'll see, I'm once again that gallant horse, As you remember me.

Obituary CATHERINE RYZ (nee Marcynuk) It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother Catherine Ryz on May 13th, 2017, at the age of 96, at Country Meadows Personal Care Home in Neepawa, Manitoba. Left to cherish her memory are her sons Ernie (Barbara) Ryz, Surrey, B.C., and Marvin (Mary) Ryz, Pinawa, Manitoba; her seven grandchildren, Juanita (Jeff) Van Norman, Lisa (Brad) Kupiak, Bradley (Michelle) Ryz, Laurie Ryz (Pauvlo Matheos), Krista (Graeme) MacDonald, Bryan Ryz, and Sue-Ellen (Barry) Watson.

She is also survived by ten great-grandchildren, Payton, Tristen, Lucas, George, Devin, Halle, Katherine, Winston, Ava and Chloe. Also left to mourn her loss is her sister Martha (Stanley) Blahitka, Neepawa, MB., her brother Ernie Marcynuk, Regina, SK., sisters-in-law Sylvia Marcynuk, Olga Marcynuk and Margaret Ryz, Dauphin, Mb. and many nieces & nephews and their families.

Catherine was predeceased by her husband Stanley in November 1987, after 48 years of marriage, her parents Samuel and Mary Marcynuk, brothers Nick Marcynuk and his wife Molly, John Marcynuk, Mike Marcynuk and his wife Iris and Wilfred Marcynuk.

Mother was born in Dauphin MB on April 26, 1921.

She was raised on a farm east of Dauphin, near Sifton, Manitoba, along with her six siblings. From Mom's account, her early years at home (after school) consisted of tending to the garden, farm chores and helping to look after her siblings (Mom being the second oldest of seven children).

On October 29, 1939 she married Stanley Ryz and they took up farming together two miles north of Dauphin, where they began raising their sons. Mom enjoyed farm life, especially gardening and tending to the farm animals. In 1952, the family moved to Firdale, MB to start a new life on a larger farm. There, Mom continued her love of gardening and made many new friendships ,while joining the Edrans Ladies' Aid group. Mom was an excellent seamstress and also an exceptional cook.

She also loved to crochet and made several handmade quilts, giving heirloom quilts to her grandchildren, which they all treasure.

Soon after her husband Stanley passed away, she bought a little house in Neepawa and settled down to many happy years there, where she was closer to her church and some of her family and friends. She was an active member of St. Dominic's Roman Catholic Church and Catholic Women's League. In 1995, Mom had the opportunity to travel on a group pilgrimage tour of the Holy Land, Rome and Egypt, which was a highlight of her senior years.

In 2009, when Mom could no longer keep up with the responsibilities of owning her own home, she moved to an apartment in Kinsmen Kourt, where she was closer to many of her friends. The ills of dementia slowly began to overtake her and she made her final move to Country Meadows in March 2013. There, she received the quality care she required until her end.

Many thanks to the caregivers and staff at Country Meadows for the excellent and compassionate care Mom received. Thanks as well for the prior care Mom received from Dr. Ong and Dr. White and many personal care workers in Neepawa.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, May 19th at 11:00 a.m., St. Dominic's Roman Catholic Church, 416 1st Ave., Neepawa, MB. A private family viewing will be held at 10:00 a.m. at St. Dominic’s.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.

Obituary Pearl Sollner On May 4, 2017 at her residence, Pearl Victoria Eva passed away suddenly while in the arms of her loving husband. She is now at peace with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Pearl was born on May 19, 1947 in the Riding Mountain area, the daughter of Gordon and Lavina Squires. She attended school in Plumas and graduated grade 12. After graduation, she moved to Portage la Prairie, working at Campbell’s Soup and Portage Mutual.

On December 3, 1966, she married Don Sollner, they settled east of Plumas on the farm they still call home.

Together they raised their two children, Kim and Terry.

Mom enjoyed and flourished in her role as mother and wife. Everyone was always welcome to stop by for a coffee and a visit. She attended all the school activities, community events and spent countless hours volunteering. Mom helped out in all aspects of farm life, whether it was driving the tractor, cutting grass, gardening, bottle feeding calves or running meals out to the field. She loved it all. Mom made the farm a home where there was open invitations to stay for supper.

Mom was able to whip together last minute meals for her guests. No one ever left hungry.

Mom loved her animals. There was always a special pet that followed her around the yard, whether it was a cat, dog or newborn calf.

Her love of nature extended to feeding and watching birds. Even the birds never left the farm hungry. Mom believed that every creature had purpose: except snakes. She even fed the squirrels, much to the dismay of Don and the dogs. But Mom felt it was necessary to feed them none the less.

Although Mom loved being a wife and mother, she was most proud of being a grandma and great grandma.

There was always a special treat tucked away in the cupboard for when they visited.

As a family, many weekends were spent camping, fishing and travelling the rodeo circuit. During these trips, Mom took on the role of co-pilot and constant companion. Her main role was ensuring that Don remained alert and was a second pair of eyes on the road.

When Mom had free time, she liked to read, do puzzles, accompany Don on the trap line, attend dances and play bass guitar in the band. She was also an avid bowler; winning numerous awards and trophies. She even found time to win two gold medals at the Manitoba Senior Games.

Mom was a great support and sounding board to family and friends. She listened and gave advice if asked; even if the advice was not what they wanted to hear. She was our ROCK. The best wife, mother and friend you could ever want. She will be missed with a void in our hearts and lives forever.

Left to mourn are her husband of fifty years, Don Sollner; daughter Kim (Ferlin) and their children Wayne and Becca; son Terry (Diane) and children Andrew (Stacie) and their children Eric and Ethan; Dayna (Travis) and their children Jaixon and Zander; mother Lavina Squires; sisters-in-law Linda Squires, Dorothy Moller and Ida MacDonald; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.

She was predeceased by her father Gordon Squires; brother George; grandson Cooper Cash; brothers-in-law Erwin Moller and Edgar Sollner.

Funeral Service was held on Thursday, May 11, 2017 at the Plumas Zion Lutheran Church with interment at the Plumas Cemetery.

McCreary Manitoba Youth Job Centre open for business

By Megan VanHumbeck The Neepawa Banner The McCreary Manitoba Youth Job Centre is open once again for the summer! Centres across Manitoba are in their 42nd year of successfully supporting youth employment in Manitoba. The McCreary Manitoba Youth Job Centre (MYJC) is sponsored by Manitoba Education and Training, in partnership with the Municipality of McCreary and serves the communities of McCreary, Alonsa, Glenella, Laurier and Riding Mountain.

My name is Megan VanHumbeck and I am the McCreary and area MYJC Youth Engagement Leader for the summer of 2017. I have just completed my third year of study at Concordia University and I am very excited to be back in the community.

The MYJC is designed to meet the employment needs of students and youth, as well as the needs of employers who have vacant positions to fill, by offering a free referral service to those who wish to hire an eager, hard-working young person. Employers of all types – business and household – can take advantage of the free services the Centre provides.

Only the most qualified candidates are referred and the employer always has the final hiring decision.

We encourage students and youth over the age of 12 to register with our office.

If you are seeking full-time, part-time, or casual employment, need help with your resume or want to expand your job search or interview skills, just drop by and we will be happy to work with you.

I am looking forward to a great summer in our communities. If you have any questions or employment needs, please feel free to call (431) 233-3498, to email me at mccrearymyjc@gov.mb.ca, or stop by the MYJC office at 436 Second Avenue in McCreary, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. I hope to hear from you soon!

YES!

We sell custom laser cheques and forms!
