Fire damages building, inventory

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner After a fire damaged their Eden-area warehouse last week, Tim Wiebe and Lewis Pohl, of AVION Harvest, are reaching out to the greater community for some help. On May 24, a grass fire reached their building and did about $29,000 in damage; burning a hole through one of the walls and damaging inventory, equipment and packaging supplies.

The company packages and wholesales natural dried grains and pulses, including peas, beans, lentils, flaxseed, barley and bulgar wheat. Pohl explains that while they carry liability insurance, tight finances meant that

they didn’t have any property or contents insurance to cover the damage.

The new company just came off of a strong year, their products are now being carried in 40 stores across Manitoba and they are in discussion with two additional chains interested in carrying their products. While business has been growing, Pohl explains that they operate on narrow margins. He adds that neither he nor Wiebe have paid themselves a wage, instead, using profits to increase inventory and grow the business.

Of the damage, Pohl said they are expecting it to cost about $7,000 to repair the building, the rest represents lost inventory and repairs to damaged

equipment. He said they should be able to obtain the product they need to replace the inventory, they just need the funds.

AVION Harvest has set up a GoFundMe page for anyone who would like to donate to help restore the building and equipment to pre-fire conditions and replace their inventory. “It is our hope to be up and running as soon as possible in order to meet store demands,” said Pohl. He added that they are forever indebted and thankful to those who are aiding them during this difficult time.

For more about the fire and how to help, information is available at www.gofundme.com/ avionharvest.

Little Valley Jamboree celebrates 20 years

By John Drinkwater The Neepawa Banner

The Little Valley Jamboree is an annual music festival held to raise awareness, support and funds for special needs children in the area and throughout Manitoba. This year, the event celebrates an amazing 20 years, with organizers Rod and Evelyn Lewandoski still at the helm. The festival will take place on June 17 and 18 at the Fair Grounds in Erickson.

Recipients for 2017 are Dawson Richards and Alexis Andreychuk. Dawson from Minnedosa, will be turning four years at the end of June. He has been diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder, which affects his ability to communicate; causes sensory issues like being sensitive to light and loud noises. He struggles with

textures in his food, making his diet and nutrition a great concern.

Alexis Andreychuk, born in April 2012, lives with her parents in Erickson and had speech challenges at an early age. After 2 1/2 years of public and private speech therapy with no progress, Alexis was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) also known as Verbal Dyspraxia. Apraxia is a motor planning disorder of speech where her brain and mouth work fine, but the connection between the two, when forming the simplest of speech patterns, are lost to her.

Recently, she has been receiving treatment from a speech specialist trained in PROMPT therapy in Saskatchewan. The result is Alexis has progressed from four intelligible words to over 25.

Taking a “walk” through local history

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner

Neepawa has a rich history and on June 10, area residents will have a chance to step back in time. Organized by the Beautiful Plains Archives and the Neepawa Guiding Unit, A Walk Through the Past will treat attendees to some historic photos, fashions and food.

The event will coincide with the opening of the Beautiful Plains Archives’ show of historic Neepawa photos. The photos will be on display in ArtsForward’s Manawaka Gallery from June 7 until July 24. Helen Drysdale, A Walk Through the Past organizer, explains that the event was planned as a grand opening for the show and chance to let people know about the archives and the work they do. “I did it mostly to try and get people aware of the Archives,” she said.

The event will also be a fundraiser for the Archives and the Guiding Unit.

The event will give people a chance to take a closer took at the heritage photos and there will also be a show featuring historic fashions. The clothes, including aprons, will come from the Beautiful Plains Museum’s collection, as well as Helen Drysdale’s private collection. Drysdale notes that one of the items will be a nightgown, made in 1913.

Coinciding with tea time, attendees will be treated to old fashioned desserts, including Saskatoon pie, coffee and tea.

The Neepawa Guiding Unit, which includes 31 girls, ranging in age from 5 to 14 years of age, have partnered on historic projects in the past. Contact leader Kay De’Ath explains that working with other community groups helps the members meet their community service

requirements. She added that the girls have fun at these types of events, as they essentially get to play dress up. Some of the members of the Guiding Unit will be modelling the clothes and aprons, as well as serving drinks and desserts.

Drysdale explained they’re finding it increasingly important to let people know about the services provided by the archives. “We’re finding people are throwing away old photos, [the archives or the museum] would love to have them,” she said. The Beautiful Plains Archives covers not just the Town of Neepawa, but the whole region, including communities such as Glenella and Franklin. She explains that they would

especially like photos of farm scenes and buildings, as well as photos of children and women at work and play on the farm, subjects for which there is little local photographic documentation.

Drysdale adds that anyone who wishes to keep their photos can still bring them to the Archives, where they will be scanned and preserved as part of the regional collection.

A Walk Through the Past will be held on Saturday, June 10, at ArtsForward in Neepawa. The event will start at 2 p.m. With limited tickets available, it won’t be hard to get up close and personal with some local history. Tickets are available at the Neepawa Banner office, or by calling 204-476-2723.

Garbage and recycling has to see new approaches A large of amount of recyclable material still goes to the landfill

M

any issues cross political lines. Recycling in Manitoba is just such an issue.

It is a darling issue for both the NDP and the PC governments. It is also largely a well-intentioned farce. Recycling and the two cent levy on beverage containers, is an example of a good start. But that’s about where it ends. For over two decades now we have had a two cent levy on drink containers. It is supposed to finance recycling of containers and some other products. It raises a lot of money, but it doesn’t really accomplish recycling and here’s why. Consumers pay for recycling and most people are in favour of recycling, versus dumping stuff in the landfill. That’s about where the good feeling ends, as once the container is in the hands of the consumer, there is no incentive to actually recycle. Unlike the beer containers with a ten cent levy and a system to pay the person who gathers them up and takes them back, the last person holding non-beer drink container has no real incentive to recycle. Except of course for the warm fuzzy feeling that they may be keeping a can out of the landfill.

A large amount of recyclable material still goes to the landfill. If it is tossed in the garbage, it goes to the landfill. If it’s contaminated on its way to recycling, it goes to the landfill. If it gets tossed out somewhere else, it’s not recycled.

The problem is there is no incentive. In Saskatchewan, all cans are subject to a ten cent levy and the gatherer gets paid. It is a small step but a long overdue step for Manitoba to take The recycling industry is thwarted by the fact that Multi Material Stewardship Manitoba (MMSM) can only pay out to muni-

Ken Waddell cipalities. If ever there was an inefficient way to handle business, it is a municipality. It would be far more efficient if recycling was handled privately and the MMSM money went on a per tonne basis to the handlers. In the old days, the very, old days, there was a deposit on drink bottles. Kids, retirees, people who wanted or needed to make a few dollars, could return the containers. It was a time-honoured system.

Except for beer cans and bottles, the gatherers and assemblers of recyclables have been squeezed out of the system and that’s crazy.

A levy on containers and tires and just about anything else makes sense if we want to keep them out of the landfill, but the reward has to be there for the gatherers to make a buck. Private initiative and incentive has been stamped out in Manitoba. The assumption has been that only government can run recycling, which is far from the truth. Scrap metal, aluminum and copper are privately run. All other recycling could be as well. The scrap steel, aluminum and copper trade carries itself on the intrinsic value.

The drink cans, paper, cardboard and other products that need a levy as an incentive need to have

the incentive carry through to the gatherer and the end user.

All recycling does in Manitoba right now is make for more annoying work in the municipal offices. Until the private industry is involved in recycling from start to finish, there will not be a resolution to recycling.

At the end of the recycling line, there will always be unusable waste, just plain old, yucky garbage. It should not be buried, it should be sorted whenever possible to extract metal and then it should be burned in high efficiency furnaces. The furnaces generate heat, which can generate steam and electricity. The ash can be captured and used in street and road paving.

It works in other countries but it won’t work here until an integrated approach is adopted.

Incentives, whether they come from the marketplace or from imposed levies has to flow through to the consumer, the gatherer, the handlers and the processors. If recycling is to succeed, and it is important that we stop putting stuff in landfills, then a whole new approach has to be adopted.

It can be based, in part, on the success we have had so far, but a lot of roadblocks have to be removed before we really succeed.

y the end of this year, the road may be paved for ride sharing services, such as Uber, to operate legally within the province.

On March 20, the provincial government introduced Bill 30, which will deregulate the industry and open the door for new players. In essence, the bill will dissolve the Manitoba Taxicab Board and move responsibility for regulation of vehicles for hire to municipal governments.

The bill, not s u r p r i s i n g l y , MY it’s being op- PERSPECTIVE posed by the City of Winnipeg’s existing taxi cab owners ate and operators, many of whom ackman tkinson have made significant investments in vehicles and licensing. Bill 30 explicitly states that there will be no compensation or damages paid to those negatively impacted. This isn’t the first time this battle has been fought.

In 2010, Uber launched with a revolutionary idea; passengers input their credit card information into an app and at the push of a button, request a ride. GPS coordinates then tell the driver, who may or may not drive full time and arrives in their own car, where to go. The service also allows drivers and passengers to rate one another. It also frequently employs demand-based fares, which means that fares in peak travel times are higher. With a business model that takes aim at a strongly protected industry, right from the start the company has been defending itself against transportation authorities, municipal governments and taxi cab boards determined to shut it down.

It’s easy to see why riders like the service, more cars make it easier to find a ride, especially during peak times. With charges of taxi drivers acting in unfair or illegal ways towards passengers, the ability to hold bad drivers to account is also appealing.

On the surface though, the service also offers something of value to drivers, both the regular and occasional ones. Many drivers worry about fare skippers and the ability to receive a guaranteed fare and to encourage good rider behaviour through rating is an advantage.

Despite these benefits, as the service has spread from one market to another, the realities have become apparent. There have been complaints of arbitrary treatment towards drivers and falling pay. As the service becomes established in each new market, the novelty wears off for the occasional drivers and the bulk of the drivers tend to be the same people who used to drive cabs. However, they are now independent contractors, responsible for purchasing and maintaining their cars and losing many of the benefits associated with work as an employee.

Under the new Manitoba bill, drivers for ride sharing services would have to be licensed and carry proper commercial vehicle insurance. Herein lies part of the problem with giving Uber the green light— it exists to blow up existing models and has a history of circumventing regulations. While all Uber vehicles must pass a vehicle inspection, they cannot have a taxi paint job. The company hopes its cars will move unseen, under the radar. Even more blatantly, the company has made use of technology to circumvent the authorities in areas where the service has been banned. For a company that has made a practice of pushing back against laws and which can easily operate in grey areas, I don’t see a swift embrace of rules and regulations, especially when it will result in higher costs.

This lack of compliance is the biggest problem I have with ride sharing services. The premise is fantastic, especially in rural communities where there isn’t enough demand for a full-time taxi service. It’s a great way of easily connecting people looking for rides with those looking to make a few extra bucks in their down time. But while “ride share” may conjure images of your friend catching a ride with you to Brandon, this is a commercial service in every way. The necessary insurance and safety requirements must be in place for everyone’s safety and fairness within the industry.

The political will exists to open the door to ride sharing services, which means that in all likelihood, they are coming to Manitoba.

It will be up to riders to use their spending power to dictate what they expect from service providers.

Natural beauty to be treasured

W

e who live in The Banner’s coverage area have a national treasure virtually next door. It is the oldest of its kind in Manitoba.

It covers an area of 3000 km, has over 400 km of hiking, bike, horse and wagon trails and, except for the lingering effects of the occasional forest fire, remains virtually as it was at the end of the ice age. This treasure is Riding Mountain National Park.

Now, as a transplanted Albertan, I have often questioned the use of the word “Mountain” in the park’s name. But I have lived in Neepawa for 20 years, 6.5 of which were spent driving Hwy 5 between Neepawa and Ste. Rose every Sunday; and while Riding Mountain may not be as tall as the mountains in Alberta, its influence on the weather conditions along Hwy 5 is equal to and in some cases greater than anything I experienced before moving here.

Riding Mountain National Park has something for everyone. Boating, water

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein skiing, fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, golf, camping and picnicking just a few of the activities that one can enjoy. If you want to stay awhile, there are campgrounds and motels to serve you.

Serious nature lovers will note how different areas of the park are dominated by different species of trees.

They can also witness the intricate balance of nature as seen in the interactions between elk, moose, deer and their predators and the critters that live in the marshes and small ponds that dot the park’s landscape. And, if they venture just outside the park’s borders, they will see the steps area farmers must take to protect their crops and livestock from being damaged by wildlife who stray too far from home.

These experiences and more are available to all of us—and this year, in honor of Canada’s 150th birthday, admission to the park is free. So, there’s no excuse for any of us to stay home and not visit this national treasure at least once.

Take a moment, while in the park, to appreciate the improvements that are under way. Over the next few years, roughly $3 million will be spent improving historic sites (including the East Gate), campgrounds, trails and other infrastructure. The resurfacing and rebuilding (where required) of Hwy 10 through the park is a separate project to be completed this year.

But there’s more to the park than what you see along Hwy 10. There’s much to see along Hwy 19, Rolling River Road and Lake

Audy Road. And if you are able to do so, walk a trail or two, enjoy a picnic next to a quiet lake or just find a quiet spot, sit in your car with the radio turned off and wait to see which of the many permanent residents of RMNP might come by for a visit. It just might be an experience you will never forget.

The Scriptures tell us that God gives us all things richly to enjoy. Included in that list is the natural beauty of our parks, the grandeur of the skies above, the majesty of a rainbow and the glistening shimmer of the Northern Lights. We watch, sometimes in amazement as the snow melts each spring and grass begins to grow; trees put forth leaves, then buds and then fruit; farm land receives seed and provides nutrients for the grain and hay that are used to feed the world.

This is all around us. It is God’s gift to us. It is not to be taken for granted. It is to be treasured, enjoyed and used responsibly.

Peace must come from within

‘C

onsider that change for its own sake rarely leads to peace.’ This challenge is just one of the many that the author of an inspirational book issues. It appears, to me, that many seek a change, believing that with the change will come peace, peace of mind, freedom from conflict.

Does it stem from not simply being in the moment?

Most of us couldn’t wait to start school. And then we couldn’t wait to be done school. Sixteen was a desired age, a driver’s license, and then eighteen would be perfect. A partner, a family, a home, and always a good job/career to support our desired lifestyle. It went on and on, a new goal appearing before the last one was fully tasted.

‘Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?’

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen Robert Browning. I recall memorizing that in high school. That dreaming for the future is a huge part of changes. I also recall teaching my children to dream high, strive for your goal, knowing that most of the kindness and loving done on this earth is done by the ‘average’ person. We all shine in our own world.

So we strive for our goals, and with achieving comes change. Not simply change for change sake. There is no fault in change for change sake if that is all it is. Believing that change for change sake does not always bring peace. Don’t we know that

Observation

By Addy Oberlin hat are our expectations for this week? Are we waiting for some special good news or maybe dreading the phone call and hearing some bad news? For the farmers the expectations are for nice sunny weather, perfectly working machinery and safety while trying to get the crop in. For the children the last month of school is just starting and they are expecting

from political elections! Or a change in leadership in an organization.

Years ago, many years ago, I was in an unhealthy union. I determined that the only change that could be made, would have to be by me. I became a single parent of two small children, and that change did bring physical peace. The mental and spiritual peace then followed. It was change with a purpose. Difficult decision with social ramifications, and very worth it.

There are times when my hair sports a pink or blue streak. That is change for change sake! Just want

something different. The coloring hurts neither me nor you. No ramifications!

The sentence caused me to reflect on my life, the lessons learned and those who helped me learn them.

I was reminded of the time one of my children wanted to run away from home. As we sat and discussed the feelings and the reality, my child looked at me, and in a sad voice quietly stated, ‘ if I run away, I still take me with me.’ Exactly! Changing where we live, or with whom we live, is not a magic potion for peace. New town, new job, new partner, not wrong for the right reasons.

Believing that these changes will change you/me is a false hope. A change, done for the right reason, and in the right way, (right for you/me!), can bring peace.

The peace must come from within, not dependent on the withouts.

a wonderful holiday, soon to come. The elderly expect to receive some visitors, which will delight their day or maybe a special activity that they can look forward to.

What about you and me? I expect to be able to do things that the Lord expects me to accomplish this week with the strength that He will provide.

A friend gave me a poster with the saying “The Lord will continually guide you (Isaiah 58:11).” This is not only my expectation, but I know it is the truth and it helps us getting through each week, if we but let the Lord have His way.

Neepawa area children at risk

This is a serious matter that the writer believes concerns all parents of children in Neepawa and area.

On May 10th at 3:35 p.m. (just after school was let out) at the intersection of Hospital St. and Mountain Ave. there was a near miss with an elementary student riding a bicycle and a school bus. The following is what transpired. Please try to visualize this. The school bus was facing west at the stop sign on Hospital St. waiting for traffic/pedestrians to clear, at which time, an elementary student walking his bike heading north was waiting to cross. The bus driver waves this child across and the child proceeds from the sidewalk (no marked crosswalk). At the same time, a second child riding his bike on the sidewalk follows behind. Both children clear the intersection on the north side. The bus driver checks both ways, sees it’s clear to proceed, and starts forward, when out of the blue, a third child riding his bike on the sidewalk, not even looking, bolts into the intersection and in front of the bus, trying to “catch up” to his two friends! Driver slams on brakes, narrowly avoiding tragedy. He also leaned on the horn and the child stopped his bike about 10 meters past the intersection to look back to see what all the fuss was about.

The very next day, the same three children were observed riding their bikes on the sidewalk and crossed the same intersection as the day before, only this time all three were riding.

The highway traffic act states as follows: 145(8) Bicycles n sidewalksSubject to subsection (9), no person shall operate on a sidewalk a bicycle with a rear wheel the diameter of which exceeds 410 mm (16 inches).

145 (9) Subsection (8) does not apply to a sidewalk that is marked by a traffic control device permitting the operation of a bicycle on a sidewalk.

Now here lies the dilemma. I talked with a parent about this issue and he informed me that he actually taught his children to ride their bikes on the sidewalk and instructed them to stay off of the road. The reason being, that he was more concerned about their safety when riding behind cars that are parked on an angle and may back out without seeing the cyclist. This makes perfect sense to me but it does not solve the problem.

I think the root of the problem is that we are giving mixed messages to our children and are setting them up for disaster.

I believe that the powers that be have a moral and legal responsibility with practice of due diligence, to do everything they can to correct his issue.

The writer has done his part in pointing out this issue, now, the solution rests with those who are in a position to do the decision making and educating the children in town. Let’s hope they “get it” before tragedy strikes.

Peace and prosperity

This year, Canada is celebrating 150 years since Confederation (the sesquicentennial). I thought I would spend the next several months showcasing some historic recipes in Canada’s honour.

The 1920’s brought peace and hope for prosperity.

The first few years after the war the economy slumped but by 1924 the good times had returned. News travelled slowly and each farm lived in isolation. With the coming of telephones and radios, the silence was broken. By 1926, 1 in 11 Canadians had a telephone or access to one at the local store. Canada introduced its first radio stations in 1922, establishing a Canadian presence on the airwaves and an alternative to American broadcasts.

Families would gather around radios each night to listen to news, the latest songs, Hockey Night in Canada and other enjoyable programs. If you had a radio you did not need to go out for entertainment.

Many women and children did not go to town more than several times a year. As a child you were delighted to be given a penny or two for candy. Oh the decisions to make: a sucker, Horehound drops, licorice, Peppermint gibralthers, lemon drops and jelly beans to name a few.

As a child my mom made candy, usually in the winter so I will share two old fashioned candy recipes.

Molasses pull taffy 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 2 Tbsp. vinegar 1/2 cup water 1 tsp. cream of tartar 2/3 cup molasses 2 Tbsp. butter Put the sugar, water, molasses and vinegar into a heavy bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, add the cream of tartar, turn the heat down and simmer gently. It will need to cook for about 10 minutes. Check to see if it is ready by dribbling some in a cold glass of water.

If it forms a hard strand that you can crack or break with your fingers it is ready to remove from the heat.

If using a candy thermometer it should reach 270F°.

Add the butter and pour into a greased pie plate. When taffy is cool enough to handle, cut off a piece and pull into a rope. Fold over double and twist and pull again.

Cut rope pieces into lengths with scissors and continue until all the taffy is pulled. Dust with icing sugar to prevent sticking together.

Maple cream fudge 2 Tbsp. butter 3 cups brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup white sugar 1 tsp. maple flavoring 1 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk

Turtle River School Division

This year is a historic year for Turtle River School Division, as they proudly celebrate their 50th Anniversary. Turtle River School Division was first formed back in 1967, when it became the 32nd division in Manitoba. It has been Turtle River School Division’s privilege to serve the region and area in educating the residents and community. Schools and divisions alike are local hubs and they support a community in many ways.

They are proud to be a part of the various communities and feel honoured to have been a part of their lives.

Today, Turtle River School Division is comprised of seven schools.

Six of those schools are grades K to 12; with two of them being Hutterite Colony Schools. The seventh school is a grade K to 8 French Immersion School.

The division’s enrollment is small, but this has always been an advantage, as it seems to allow for rapid changes in education to meet the needs of the students and communities that it serves. The division embraces innovative strategies for meeting the challenges faced by students.

It is this commitment that allows staff to understand the unique needs of all students and their families.

Turtle River School Division Superintendent, Bev Szymesko, is excited that the division has reached this amazing milestone.

In a heavy bottomed pot add the sugars, cream, and butter. Cook the mixture until it reaches a soft ball stage or 236F° on candy thermometer. A soft ball stage is when some is added to a cup of cold water, it forms a soft ball. Remove from heat and cool until luke-warm. Beat until the fudge loses its gloss. Quickly add the flavoring and nuts. Pour into a greased 9x9” pan. When cool, cut into squares.

Crop report - May 30, 2017

Submitted Manitoba Agriculture

The majority of the province dealt with moderate to cooler than normal temperatures last week.

Strong southerly winds on Wednesday, May 23 caused soil blowing and drifting on soils with dry topsoil and poor crop residue.

Seeding is nearing completion in Manitoba with about 90 per cent of cultivated acres seeded.

Many growers are already done. Seeding is lagging most in the northwest and southwest regions with 70 to 85 per cent completed respectively.

Southwest Region Rainfall over the past week has slowed down seeding operations. About five to 20 mm of rain has fallen over most of the region. The highest rain fall was recorded in Russell and the surrounding area.

The areas in the southwest corner has received very little precipitation, so crops could benefit from some rainfall at this stage.

Winter wheat and fall rye continue to progress

well with few fields at the early boot stage. Weed control applications have been completed in most winer cereal fields. Overall seeding is about 85 per cent complete with south of Highway #1 at 95 per cent while areas north of the Trans-Canada are 75 per cent done.

Field peas are done seeding with very good emergence. Most of fields are at second to third node stage. Producers are planning for herbicide application. Cereal crops are about 90 per cent complete with only wetter fields and some silage or green feed acres to be planted. Some of the early seeded cereal crops are in the three to four leaf stage. Canola is about 75 per cent done seeding with early planted canola emerging. There are some reports of flea beetle feeding on canola however there is no major damage reported. Corn is about 80 per cent done planting with some early fields emerging. Sunflowers are emerging as well. Growers should be monitoring their sunflower fields for cutworms damage. Soybeans

Eileen

CLARKE

MLA for Agassiz

are about 80 per cent planted with some early fields just starting to emerge.

Producers are rolling their fields. No major emergence problems reported so far.

Some reports of the odd cutworm found in some fields but no major damage reported. Diamondback moth counts are very low in most of areas. There are reports of large infestations of tent caterpillars in poplar stands that are encroaching into yards and towns.

Salinity, compounded by dry weather conditions is causing delayed or failed emergence in some fields. Rainfall over the past week will stimulate forage growth on hay and pastures.

Hit the trails and win!

Honours presented at #9 RC Air Cadet’s annual inspection

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Above: Local trails offer a great way of enjoying the area’s natural beauty.

Right: Hitting the trails can be fun for all ages.

Submitted The Neepawa Banner

In honour of Canada’s 150 birthday, Neepawa area residents are being challenged to get out and get active. The Canada 150 - ACTIVE 8 Challenge will see people who hit the trails at either the Langford Recreational Trails or the Rosedale Farm Trail entered to win prizes.

Research shows that activity in nature has tremendous physical, mental and emotional health benefits. With this in mind, between June 8 and August 3, anyone who hikes, jogs or bikes at either of those trails will be entered for weekly draws and a grand prize of $50.

Each week that someone is active at the Langford Recreational Trails or the Rosedale Farm Trail, their name will go into the draw.

In one week they may only enter once at each location.

Complete contest rules will be available at the trailheads.

To get to the Langford Recreational Trails, travel 10 km east of Neepawa on Hwy# 16, and 5 km. south (east) on Road 81 W. The Rosedale Farm Trail is located 16 km. north of Neepawa on Hwy # 5 and west (left) on Prov. Road # 265 for 8 km.

Your support helps maintain our vitality Submitted The Neepawa Banner

Have you thought about the many ways your local tax dollars work for you? Apart from improving town infrastructure and building a much-needed new firehall, there’s a lot of other services available to Neepawa residents that don’t get much public discussion. Among them is the Neepawa Public Library. The Town of Neepawa owns and maintains the building that houses the library and because libraries are funded by a combination of provincial and municipal funds, the Town also contributes a per-capita levy that supports library operations. Municipal funding of the library ensures that Neepawa and area residents have access to books, magazines and learning materials, both hardcopy and electronic, as well as access to the Internet and a place to share and learn from each other. We encourage area residents to take advantage of this resource made available by local government in exchange for your tax contributions. In reality, you are already contributing to the operation of the library, so why not take advantage of that investment? In addition, your support of the Neepawa Library helps to maintain the vitality of the Western Manitoba Regional Library – the organization to which your library belongs – and the diversity of the collection held in our other branches in Brandon, Carberry, Glenboro and Hartney which provide more choice and selection than any one location can provide.

In this digital age, libraries offer more than just books. A recent addition to our electronic resources for library patrons is Flipster, an online magazine service.

Flipster provides the current issues of

many popular magazine titles, as well as a generous back-issue list. Some of the magazines available are: People, Car & Driver, Hello!, Newsweek, Brides, Forbes, ChickaDEE and Owl to name only a few.

Imagine, the next time you find yourself waiting at the doctor’s office without a book to read, you could open Flipster on your phone and flip through the latest copy of Quilter’s World or read about Chris Rock in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. Just open wmrl.ca and click on the eResources tab, select Flipster and enter your library card number to start reading.

June will be another busy month at the library, beginning with the much anticipated visit by Dianne Brydon on Thursday, June 1 at 5:30. She will be giving a presentation on how she and her father researched and produced The Stalwart Brydons, a recently released book of the Brydon family who homesteaded in this area in the 1870s. We’re following up with a Kathy Levandoski workshop on June 17 on how to research your own family history. Please call the library for more information.

Book Sale! We’ve received a lot of very nice book donations this spring and it’s time to clear out the storage room with our Spring Book Sale on Wednesday, June 21.

Donations are still welcome and any books that we cannot add to our collection are placed in the book sale. All proceeds are used to replace books and to contribute to other local library projects.

And finally, we’re getting ready for the Summer Reading Club for our young readers, so watch for updates on registration for the reading program and for activities at the library. Information will be available soon with registration starting on June 26.

Neepawa Natives are draft ready

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

Hundreds of hours spent on long roads and in cold arenas across the prairies will finally pay off this weekend for the Neepawa Natives at the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) Bantam Draft.

The annual event, which is set for Sunday, June 4 in Winnipeg, will feature all 11 MJHL clubs selecting 66 Manitoba players born in the year 2002. In a media release, league commissioner Kim Davis noted that the draft is always a special event, in that it propels teams forward when they select young players with the potential to develop into stars on their MJHL clubs.

For this year, Davis announced that the league has partnered with Hockey Tech to assist in the real time operation of the draft proceedings. Hockey Tech will provide com-

puter software enabling automatic updates to teams on player availability. It’ll also maintain a draft website for media and fans to reference.

As for Neepawa, the team will select fourth overall in the first round, with five other picks in subsequent rounds. Natives general manager Myles Cathcart said that scouting staff had been busy throughout the season, watching prospects and speaking with those that the club have an interest in. He stated that head scout and director of player personnel Byron Billett, along with the rest of the scouting team, have been working diligently and tirelessly compiling notes on those players.

The scouts then sent the information to coaches and management, who proceeded to create a master list that they’ll take with them to the draft. This player wish list is the building blocks for the franchise moving

forward.

Byron Billett noted that while he and the rest of the scouting staff have been in regular communications with Cathcart and head coach Dustin Howden throughout the year, a

Obituary Helen Gilmore Helen Gilmore, of Kelwood, MB. passed away Monday, May 22, 2017 at Country Meadows Personal Care Home in Neepawa, MB. at the age of 93 years.

Helen was born on June 6, 1923 at Deloraine, MB. In 1929, the family moved to McCreary, MB., then to Kelwood in 1934. Mom married Harris Gilmore in 1943 and they farmed east of Kelwood for 47 years. Dad passed away in 1990, and in 1994, Mom moved into Kelwood. Health issues forced her to leave her home and in October 2015, she moved into Country Meadows.

Mom was predeceased by her husband Harris; parents Ed and Irene Innes; sister Ruth Wood; sisters and brothers-in-law; nieces and nephews.

Helen will be remembered by her two children, daughter Janie (Doug) Wetherill and son Joe (Donna); Janie and Doug's children, Will and his children Jesse and Anika; Archie (Lynn) and their children Jack, Hope, Bill and Anna; Joe and Donna's children, Kim (Kris) Lukin and their children Mackenzie and Sara; Allison (Ryan) Smith and their children Connor and Avery. Also surviving are sisters Doreen Bell and Beryle Finlay and brother Doug Innes, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Mom loved her music, playing the piano and entertaining her friends and family. Every Christmas Eve, while she was in her home, we all gathered by the fireplace to be together and enjoy good food and refreshments.

She was a member of the Kelwood Legion and always enjoyed her time spent there. Mom and Dad spent many winters in Victoria until they were no longer able to go.

Mom especially enjoyed her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. They brought great joy to her life.

While Mom was at Country Meadows she met many special friends that made her stay there so enjoyable.

Many thanks to all the caregivers, staff and volunteers for the excellent and compassionate care Mom received.

A graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made in her memory to Country Meadows Personal Care Home Activity Department, Box 1240 Neepawa, MB.

Obituary LYNDA OLIVE ECKSTRAND (nee Adamson) 1945-2017 Lynda Olive Eckstrand (Adamson) passed away on the morning of May 22, 2017 at St. Boniface Hospital after a brief illness.

She was 72 years old and has been a resident of Gladstone, MB since 1993.

Lynda was born in Gladstone on March 17, 1945, and was also raised there. She graduated from William Morton Collegiate, and went on to further schooling at Success Business College. She moved to Thompson, MB in 1969, intending to stay for three months; instead, she remained there for 25 years. She met her husband Len in the United Church choir, and they married in 1970.

They had two children, Karl and Lesley.

Lynda enjoyed many interests such as playing bridge, church, and distributing her world-renowned butter tarts to many friends and family. She was also one of the few women in Manitoba to score an eight-ender in curling.

Upon retiring to Gladstone in 1993, Lynda remained active in the community, especially with the United Church Women and her bridge clubs.

Always a fighter, Lynda overcame many challenges in her life, but always kept a positive outlook.

Lynda was predeceased by her father George; her mother Grace; her husband Leonard (“Len”); her fatherin-law Lars; her mother-in-law Elsie; her brothers-in-law Ken, Henry, Roger, and Dave; her sister-in-law Marlene; and her son-in-law Michael. She is survived by her son Karl; her daughter Lesley; her sister Helen; her brother Robert (Cindy); sister-in-law Evelyn; brother-in-law Lee (Lorraine); cousins (who were more like sisters) Margaret (Ted) and Karen; and numerous nephews, nieces, and friends.

Karl and Lesley would like to take this opportunity to thank Helen, Lois, Betty and Lori for their exceptional support during this very trying month.

There will be a joint funeral service for Lynda and Leonard Eckstrand at the Gladstone United Church at 2:00 pm on May 29, 2017.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the United Church Women of Gladstone or the Activities Department of Third Crossing Manor.

Obituary CHAMBERS Jeanette Magdelene Chambers (née Kostecki) was born September 6, 1932 in Flin Flon, to Marjan and Josephine Kostecki (née Domareski). She lived in Flin Flon, Gilbert Plains, Fort William and Decker, MB, before her family settled permanently in Bethany, MB, where they ran a general store. Jeanette attended Normal School after high school, and taught for a year at Scandinavia Rural School, before deciding to move to Dauphin to work in the CIBC bank. It was in Dauphin that she met Mel, whom she married in 1954. The young couple moved to Flin Flon shortly thereafter, where Jeanette continued to work in the CIBC branch. When Mel accepted a teaching position at the collegiate in Neepawa, they moved back south to be closer to family.

Jeanette spent several years at home, raising their three children, until their youngest child entered school. She then returned to work for the CIBC branch in Neepawa.

There, she moved from her position as telle,r to head teller and finally to personal banking representative. She earned numerous service awards and not only met, but exceeded, every target that was set for her. She also gained the respect of her many clients for her sincere desire to help them achieve their financial goals and for her genuine interest in them as people.

Jeanette may have been a stellar contributor as a bank employee, but she did not allow her work to detract from the quality of care and attention she gave to her family.

In an era when relatively few mothers worked outside the home, she made sure her family was her main priority and, at the same time, also managed to keep an immaculate home and garden. She often stayed up till the wee hours of the morning to get everything done. After her children had left home and her father had passed away, Jeanette brought her elderly mother home to live with her and lovingly cared for her for over thirteen years.

Her absolute commitment to her family never wavered.

Jeanette had many interests, chief among them travel.

She visited nearly forty countries on six continents and made lifelong friends on every trip. She loved to host friends and family in her home and was happiest when feeding them; no one ever left her home hungry. She was a wonderful cook and legendary hostess.

Jeanette was a creative and artistic woman. She enjoyed oil painting, cake decorating, floral arranging and frequently renovated and redecorated the family home and cottage, often ahead of the current trends.

In her younger days, Jeanette enjoyed bowling, golfing and cross-country skiing. Despite being a non-swimmer and fearful of water, Jeanette nonetheless was game to throw on a life preserver and jump into the ocean to swim with giant sting rays. She had a great sense of adventure!

Jeanette spoke Polish and was able to understand Ukrainian. She played the banjo in her youth and played piano by ear.

Some of Jeanette’s happiest times were spent at the family cottage on Lake Manitoba where she loved to host gatherings for family and friends. She was known for her warmth, hospitality, sense of humour and being a prankster!

Most importantly, Jeanette was a woman of faith who believed in the power of prayer and never doubted that God would provide. She was compassionate, caring and forgiving, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her death has released her from pain and brought her to a place of peace. We who loved her will miss her dearly, but we know that she will watch over us until we meet again.

Jeanette was predeceased by her parents, Marjan and Josephine Kostecki, and is survived by her loving husband Mel, beloved children Randy (Elspeth), Bonnie (John), David (Susan), grandchildren Erin (Dave), Lyndon, Aidan and Amanda, her brother Ed (Irene) and numerous nieces and nephews.

Friends who so desire may make a donation to a charity of their choosing in lieu of flowers.

Obituary Jean Kostenchuk (Zaruk)

April 18, 1930 – April 29, 2017 After a lengthy illness, Jean passed away peacefully at the age of 87. Jean is survived by her son Larry (Linda), granddaughter Amanda (Kevin) Yaremko, greatgrandchildren Colton and Hailey, sisters Mary and Tillie (Leonard) and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her husband Paul, grandsons Jason and Dean, parents Mike and Annie Zaruk, brothers John, Nick, Peter, Victor and Alvin.

Jean was born in Birnie, MB. In October 1947, she married Paul Kostenchuk and they settled down to farm in the Mountain Road area. She was very active in the parish of St. Mary's Ukrainian Church, as well as the community at large. Retiring from farming, they bought a house and moved to Neepawa. There, she worked for the Beautiful Plains School Division as a custodian, where she worked for 12 years. Jean loved to bake. She would always welcome visitors with a homemade dessert to serve with coffee.

The family would like to thank the staff at County Meadows Nursing Home for the wonderful care that was given to our mother, grandmother and great grandmother Jean. The Kostenchuk family.

NELS LEONARD ECKSTRAND (1940 - 2017) Nels Leonard “Len” Eckstrand passed away on the morning of April 25th, 2017 at the Third Crossing Manor care facility in Gladstone, MB after a long battle with progressive supranuclear palsy. Len was 77 years old and had lived in Gladstone since 1993.

Born in Kelliher, Saskatchewan on February 8, 1940, Len lived in both Kelliher and Punnichy before entering the University of Saskatchewan to study engineering.

He decided to follow in his brother's footsteps and pursue geological engineering because Roger's boots looked so cool. After graduating in 1962, Len moved to Thompson, MB soon afterwards to work at INCO as a geologist. This is where he spent his entire career and where he met his wife Lynda (Adamson) of Gladstone, MB. They married in 1970 and had two children, Karl and Lesley.

Len enjoyed many activities including golf, curling, and especially singing. He was often complimented on his beautiful voice and was a member of the United Church choirs, musicals, the Diminished Miners barbershop quartet, and a noted soloist when asked. Len was an active member of the Canadian Legion, the Masons, and the United Church for many years. After retiring and moving to Gladstone, Len's gardening and golfing increased substantially and even sat as a councillor on the Gladstone town council.

Upon Len's diagnosis with PSP in 2011, his health deteriorated and eventually he made his home at Third Crossing Manor until his passing.

Len was predeceased by his father Lars, his mother Elsie, his brother Roger, his sister-in-law Marlene, his father-in-law George, his mother-in-law Grace, his brothers-in-law Henry and Ken, and his son-in-law Michael. He is survived by his wife Lynda, his son Karl, his daughter Lesley, his sister Evelyn, his brother Lee (Lorraine), his sister-in-law Helen, his brother-in-law Robert (Cindy), and many cherished nieces, nephews, and friends.

The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful staff of Third Crossing Manor for their boundless devotion to their residents and especially for the care of Len. Due to Len’s wife, Lynda’s illness and subsequent passing, Len’s funeral service was postponed and will now be held as joint service for them both on Monday May 29th, 2017 at the Gladstone United Church at 2:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Gladstone Golf Club or the Gladstone United Church.

Continued from page 12 As for draft day on June 4, the staff will be present in Winnipeg. Cathcart said the selection process is an exciting time for the entire organization, as it represents the future of the team and finalizes the hard work put in by all the staff during the hockey season.

Heading into the draft weekend, the team remained optimistic that they’ll be able to find some talented players from this very solid draft class.

In the 2017 draft, Neepawa has seven draft choices, their six assigned picks as well as the rights to the Selkirk Steeler’s six round pick, through a previous trade. The Waywayseecappo Wolverines have the first selection in the draft.

Elantra Sport: Hyundai’s answer to the Golf GTI

Ben Castle The Neepawa Banner

Now in its sixth generation, in a relatively short space of time, the Hyundai Elantra has gone from a budget compact that you buy because it’s cheap, well-equipped and has a stellar warranty, to one of the compact class leaders on its own merit.

For the first time, the previous generation Elantra, launched for the 2011 model year, wooed younger buyers with its combination of swoopy styling, generous equipment levels, a spacious cabin and trunk and engines which are both powerful and fuel-efficient. Hyundai followed this up last year with an all-new Elantra for the 2017 model year, which boasts new engines, more mature styling, a higher quality interior and more passenger space. Hyundai must be doing something right, as they shifted nearly 50,000 new Elantras in Canada last year (second only to the Honda Civic) and picked up the 2017 AJAC award for best new small car.

The new 2 litre Atkinson cycle engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission in base L spec or a standard six-speed automatic in LE, GL, GLS, SE and Limited trims. It offers similar power and torque figures (147 horsepower and 132 pound feet of torque) to the old 1.8 litre engine, whilst promising marginally better fuel consumption (up to 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres highway). Elantra starts at a very competitive $15,999 for the manual only Elantra L, but even this gets

heated, height adjustable front seats, split rear seats, keyless entry and power accessories as standard.

However, new for 2017, the Sport and Sport Tech models offer a 1.6 litre twin-scroll turbo four cylinder with 201 horsepower and 195 pound feet torque for a bargain of $24,999! It doesn’t end there. You have the option of a six-speed manual transmission or a quickshifting seven-speed dualclutch “auto” transmission and you also get rear disc brakes and a dedicated independent multi-link rear suspension over and above the torsion beam setup in regular Elantras. What we have here is a genuine compact Ford Focus ST/ VW Golf GTI rival for the price of the subcompact Ford Fiesta ST! In the 2017 AJAC awards, this car also won out over the twice as expensive Ford Focus RS and Fiat 124 Spider as their sports-performance car of the year, a truly impressive accolade!

Sporty inside and out So, does the Hyundai Elantra Sport live up to the hype? Fowler Hyundai in Brandon supplied me with the $26,499 Hyundai Elantra Sport with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Firstly, the styling. The new Elantra is a little more conservative than its predecessor but in my opinion, more handsome. If you want more overtly sporty styling, then you may prefer the Golf GTI, Focus ST or upcoming Civic Si. However, in my opinion Hyundai has got the balance just right and with its 18 inch aluminum wheels, side skirts, twin ex-

hausts, HID headlights and LED taillights and DRLs, the Elantra Sport looks subtle but purposeful. If you want something more eyecatching, a strong colour palette of bright colours is also available.

The sporty theme continues inside, with standard leather sports seats, aluminum door trim plates, alloy sport pedals and a Dcut leather-trimmed steering wheel. Ergonomics and driver comfort are spot-on and general cabin quality and design is very pleasant, but some of the plastics on top of the doors and dashboard and the door handles feel a bit harder to the touch than I would like.

You sit quite low and the relatively high rear windshield somewhat restricts rear visibility, but you do get a rear backup camera as standard. The glovebox and centre console storage area are roomy for the class. Technophobes will be pleased to hear that in addition to the touchscreen you can also control all major functions with traditional dash-mounted buttons. My only disappointment spec wise is the absence of dual-zone climate control, which would require you to cough up an extra $2,500 for Sport Tech trim. The rear seat is wide and comfortable and offers seven per cent more legroom than the previous generation, but due to the slope of the roofline, rear headroom is a little marginal for taller passengers. The trunk is deep and a class competitive 407 litres.

The motor is very responsive, with lots of low down torque, no perceptible turbo lag and offers a nice burble too. Traction from the 40 section tires is excellent and the sevenspeed dual-clutch transmission shifts quickly and seamlessly, either in “auto” mode or using the steeringwheel mounted paddles. It seems better matched to

The similarly-priced topspec Chevrolet Cruze and Honda Civic models may look the part but don’t even come close in terms of performance. I would be more inclined to spend the extra money on the Sport Tech package than the dual-clutch transmission, as I think that the manual may well be the more involving driver’s car but if you require an automatic, the dual-clutch is one of the best and, apart from Volkswagen, Hyundai is the only manufacturer to offer you the choice in your sports compact. The upcoming Honda Civic Si will probably be this car’s closest match in terms of price and performance but will be manual only, as are the Ford Fiesta and Focus STs. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is undoubtedly the class benchmark and has a little more power, but will cost you around $10,000 more spec-for-spec!

So, the Hyundai Elantra offers excellent value, equipment levels, quality materials and a classleading warranty. There are also some keen finance and leasing deals. Factor in the Elantra Sport and you also have strong performance, good looks, driving pleasure and arguably the biggest performance bargain out there right now.
