Neepawa’s first ever “Pop up Library“, which has been constructed by Murray Newton.

By John Drinkwater The Neepawa Banner

A project initiated by the Neepawa Public Library and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Neepawa will provide a new service to the town.

Similar to the “Take a Book-Leave a Book program which has been successfully operating inside Arts Forward, this project will provide reading material 24 hours.

Rrain Prior of Arts Forward said, “Towns throughout North America have these type of boxes available. Ours will be fixed on to posts, the first outside Arts Forward, the second one outside the Margaret Laurence Home.

We would like to see others installed at Riverbend and Rotary Parks.

They would be very popular with campers and visitors.

There are many different designs. Artwork is being provided by Neepawa & Area Art Club. This first example was designed and executed by Betty Walker. They will be specially treated, so books will be protected in all seasons.

We will have a variety of books including, childrens.”

Local runners and walkers ready to follow Terry’s steps

By Kira McCormick Adema The Neepawa Banner Terry Fox ran up to 42 kilometers a day through his journey across Canada, starting on April 12, 1980 in St. Johns Newfoundland and heading west.

“Today we got up at 4:00 am. As usual, it was tough.

If I died, I would die happy because I was doing what I wanted to do. How many people could say that? I went out and did 15 push-ups in the road and took off. I want to set an example that will never be forgotten.” said Fox as his run came to its third month. On Sept. 1, 1980, Fox had run for 143 days and 5,373 kilometers, he was forced to stop running outside of Thunder bay, Ont because cancer had now appeared in his lungs.

Even though Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope never made it to Manitoba, the run still is strongly supported in

the province.

There are 30 countries around the world that hold Terry Fox runs and around 3,000,000 children that will participate in the run with their school this year.

Three area communities will be hosting their own runs.

Neepawa’s Terry Fox run is on Sunday, Sept. 17, registration starts at 12

(noon) and the run starts at 2 pm. The location of the run is at the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute track and the organizer of the event is Kelly Krzyzaniak.

The route is 5 km and is accessible for wheel chairs, bicycles and rollerblades and is also pet friendly.

Minnedosa’s Terry Fox run is on Sunday, Sept. 17, registration for the event starts at 9 am and the run starts at 10 am, there will be a BBQ following the

run and all are welcome.

The location of the run is Minnedosa Community Conference Centre; the new run organizer is Jan Macey. The distance is 5 and 10 km, the route is accessible for wheel chairs, bicycles and rollerblades and is also pet friendly.

Gladstone’s Terry Fox run is on Sunday, Sept. 17, registration starts at 8 am and the run starts at 9 am and ends at 11 am. The location of the event is at

Social change

1964 and the social insurance number was instituted to help administer the Canada Pension Plan, and the various employment plans in Canada. Now used widely as a national identification card, requested by banks, employers, and other institutions in Canada. During the 1960s, the baby boomers saw technology developed and lifestyles changed, and so did the attitudes and behaviours.

They saw the space race, the arms race, the invention of the transistor and television sets were rapidly becoming a common piece of household furniture.

Like all teenagers, they wanted to be different. As they grew older, there was a growing sense of disillusionment. They began to fight for social, economic

and political equality and justice for many disadvantaged groups: young people, women, gays and lesbians, for example. Student activists took over college campuses, organized massive demonstrations idealistically looking for social change. The baby boomers had a big voice because of their numbers, and wanted to be heard. Other baby boomers “dropped out” of political life altogether.

These “hippies” grew their hair long, experimented with drugs, practiced “free love” and had a preference for rock and roll music.

They grew up to change and forever influence the world. So chill out and create these outta sight recipes from the 60’s for your main squeeze and ankle biters.

Chilled cheese soup 1 pkg. (4 oz.) cream cheese 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire

sauce 2 cups milk 1 can tomato soup 2 Tbsp. lemon juice

Combine cream cheese, salt, Worcestershire sauce and milk. Cook, stirring constantly until cheese is melted. Heat soup and stir into hot milk mixture. Stir until well blended.

Chill. Just before serving stir in lemon juice.

Chocolate-peppermint ice cream loaf 6 cups chocolate icecream 1/2 tsp. peppermint ice-cream 1 cup mini marshmal-

lows Chocolate wafers 1/2 cup whipping cream 3 Tbsp. icing sugar Shaved chocolate

Turn ice-cream into a large bowl and beat to soften.

Add peppermint extract. Fold in marshmallows. Line bottom and sides of a 9x5 loaf pan with chocolate wafers.

Carefully spoon ice-cream mixture over wafers. Freeze until firm. Whip cream until softly stiff. Beat in sugar.

Unmould loaf on a serving plate. Garnish with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

Keeping Manitoba moving

by Chad Carpenter

Time for communities to plan

S

Is your community satisfied with the council, the mayor or reeve?

chool is back in and for many people, that means “getting back to normal”.

It is quite obvious that a lot of what we do in Manitoba revolves around the school cycle. Certainly governments, at all levels slow down in the summer. Some companies slow down as well.

That said, it’s time for people in all our communities to look ahead. What does our future hold?

Will our community grow?

Will it fade away? Sad to say, many communities are struggling more than others and some communities have all but disappeared.

Once a community has decided what is the desired goal for the future, the next obvious question is how to get there? Attention must be directed towards many factors, but there is one common factor in every town village and RM and that is: “Who is going to be on council?” The next municipal election is in the fall of 2018.

That’s correct, only a little over a year away.

Is your community satisfied with the council, the mayor or reeve? Has the council for the past four, eight or more years taken the community where it should be going? There may be some satisfaction in every community but I doubt there is total satisfaction in any community. I suspect that most communities will want to see more and faster progress on many fronts. It should be a natural desire in a community.

So how does this whole council election thing work? Actually, it doesn’t always “work’ all that well.

Many council seats are filled by acclamation, that is to say there is

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell only one candidate for each seat.

That is usually a bad thing. For elections to really work and bring renewal, there should be more candidates than seats. There needs to be a choice and there needs to be fresh new ideas.

Every community should have at least an informal nomination committee. People should be encouraged to run for council and they need to want to be there for the right reasons. If they are there for the money, they shouldn’t be there. The salary is low and yes, it’s nice to get paid something for your efforts, but if the money is the whole reason, then it’s the wrong place to be. The local “nomination committee”, an informal group for sure, needs to generally look for younger candidates if they are available. Many councillors have been around for way too long. Many of today’s councillors started when they were much younger and that was a good thing. There needs to be a lot more councillors in their 20s, 30s and 40s than we currently have in many communities.

The older people have the experience and some of them are retired and have the time. However, if there isn’t a renewal and some younger people involved,

then the community will almost certainly die off.

Prospective mayors, reeves and councillors need to take out nomination papers, get a number of signatures and plan a campaign.

They need to speak out on issues and the range of issues at a local level is certainly wider than it was 30 or 40 years ago. Health care facilities, doctor recruitment and retention and major recreation facility projects are all front and centre in communities. Water pipelines in rural areas simply didn’t exist in the old days, but are now becoming common place.

The local council is certainly not the only part of a community, but it is one of the most important parts. And for all those young people who mighty be holding back on getting involved, I have message for you. If you are in your 20s, 30s or 40s, you will be paying for whatever decisions are made (or ignored) in your community for a lot longer than many of the rest of us. Think about it. Young people usually have a lot more future ahead of them to live and pay for than some of us older people.

And finally, if you don’t get involved in politics, you will be governed by those who do.

e don’t deliver babies or bad news.” That’s how Manitoba Trucking Association general manager Terry Shaw described the breadth of his industry in a interview a few years ago. Living in rural Manitoba, this description is especially appropriate.

Each year, we, at the Banner, celebrate National Trucking Week, which this year runs from Sept. 4 to 10. I’m happy that for this year’s e d i t i o n , w e MY have been able PERSPECTIVE to produce a stand alone section celebrating and recognizKate ing this vital industry. In Jackman-Atkinson many ways, the trucking industry is hiding in plain sight. We see lots of trucks on the roads, but they’re part of the background noise, few of us pause to think much about the cargo they are carrying. From the clothes we wear, to the food we eat, to even the pavement on the roads we drive, life would be exceptionally hard without the trucking industry.

As a relatively thinly populated area producing more than we can consume and not everything that we want to, trade has always been important to the prairies. Transport continues to be important, Manitoba represents just three per cent of Canada’s population, but the province’s trucking industry accounts for 5.1 per cent of the Canadian industry. While rail can efficiently move large quantities of non-perishable freight, it lacks the timeliness and flexibility of road-based transport. In fact, the just in time system of inventory management upon which we have come to rely would be impossible without the trucking industry.

It isn’t just that we wouldn’t have all the stuff we want and need without trucks, our local economies would be very different. Five of Canada’s top 50 carriers are based in Manitoba and the province is home to approximately 475 for-hire trucking companies.

While Winnipeg is a national transportation hub, the industry isn’t entirely centred around the province’s capital. Professional drivers live in every size of community and jobs out on the road have allowed rural Manitobans to stay in their communities, even as local employment opportunities have dwindled. Beyond the drivers, trucking companies, ranging from owner-operators to multi truck fleets, can be found in towns of every size across the province. It’s an important job creator, employing directly and indirectly approximately 4.6 per cent of the Manitoba labour force. Country-wide, over 268,000 Canadians are truck drivers, making it one of the country’s top occupations.

While it’s easy to see the industry’s direct impact on jobs, few think about the spin off jobs, providing the supplies, services and road maintenance that keeps the trucking industry moving. Figures indicate that for every 10 jobs created directly in the trucking industry, another seven support jobs are created elsewhere. It’s hard not to know someone who owes their livelihood to the trucking industry.

The industry, like many others, will most certainly be undergoing changes as it moves forward. One of the most pressing challenges is a looming driver shortage. The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) estimates that the industry will be short 48,000 drivers by 2024. This is being driven in part by an ageing workforce. CTA data shows that in 2016, the average age of a professional driver was 47, up from 45 in 2013. In fact, it has one of the oldest workforces in the country, with close to 30 per cent of the workforce aged 55 years or older.

Labour shortages aren’t the only challenge facing the industry; carbon taxes, changes to hours of operation, e-logs and autonomous vehicles are just some of the factors that will shape the industry in the next decade. Whatever the future may hold, one thing is certain, the industry keeps Manitoba moving forward.

Opinion

A Christian response to natural disasters

K

enneth Storey is a Sociology profe s s or — he’s no dummy. So he should have guessed that the remarks he made in an August 27 post to his Twitter account would not be received well.

In case you missed it, Storey’s tweet suggested that the devastation caused

by Hurricane Harvey was “ instant Karma” which (he hoped) would help the people of Texas realize that the Republican Party doesn’t care about them and would “encourage the good people of Texas to do more to stop the evil their state is pushing.”

He said this even though, as he admitted in the tweet, he doesn’t believe in instant Karma. It just seemed like that’s what was happening.

T hat was more t han enough to convince administrators of the University of Tampa, Florida to respond.

On August 30, they issued a statement saying that they were distancing themselves from Storey’s comments and that Storey had been fired, effective immediately.

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein Kenneth Storey isn’t the first person to get into trouble for presuming that plagues, epidemics and natural disasters are God’s way of punishing people for their sins; and he won’t be the last. Our world is filled with so-called “prophets” who claim to have received some form of divine revelation, telling them why certain events happen at certain times to certain people.

But, when put to the test, their revelations quickly lose their credibility; as do those who gave them.

The facts speak for themselves. This is the season for tropical storms and hurricanes. True, there have been more of them in recent years and the damage done by those that touched land has been far more extensive. But to suggest that some god somewhere is punishing these people be-

cause of the way they voted is utterly absurd. There is a better way to respond to these tragedies.

As people of faith, we are convinced of three absolute truths. First, God loves the people of south Texas; just like he loves those in the Windsor-Essex region of southern Ontario who are also dealing with flooding after heavy rains; and the people in BC and northern Manitoba whose properties either have been or could be destroyed by forest fires. His love is unconditional. It is not based on how much money we make, which church we attend or which party we supported in the last election.

God loves us because he created us and wants nothing but the best for us.

Second, God has his people in the right places with access

to the resources they need to help the victims of these tragedies repair their properties, rebuild their businesses and move on with their lives.

The road to full recovery will be a long and costly one. But God’s people will not turn their backs on those in need and will walk with them until they have fully recovered from this tragedy.

Third, nowhere in Scripture does God allow us to suggest that the victims of these disasters are somehow to blame for what they suffered.

That’s not our call to make.

Instead, we are to do what we can with what we have been given to help them recover, repair, rebuild and restore.

This is what Jesus asks us all to do—to show our love for God by loving our neighbor as ourselves.

That is a Christian response to natural disasters— no judgment—no blaming the victims—just doing what we can to help a neighbor in need. Today it is our turn to help them. Tomorrow it may be their turn to help us.

The signs of nature around us

T

was a morn that required a light jacket for the dog’s walk. I watched the sunrise, burning away the haze that hung in the lowland. All signs reinforcing the rapid approach of fall proper. The swallows had departed days ago, their favorite aerodrome silent, the paths strewn with colored leaves, and occasional pats of bear scat. Then I took note of the acorns.

It would be easy feeding for the bears, that and the ready buffet at the compost site! But the acorns, smaller in size than some years but prolific. The pavement a layer of crushed nut meat. Made me think of the old adage that a heavy nut crop is indicative of a hard winter. And the squirrels have been busy, not too busy to stop their gathering long enough to taunt my dogs, but busy. There was a time when we, the people, drew our clues for weather from the signs of nature around us. Simpler

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen times when we stopped long enough to observe our world.

I did what I love to do, I headed for the computer and looked up facts on acorn quotes. There was a time when I searched the wonderful and wonder filled World Book Encyclopedia, volumes A through Z to discover new thoughts, and now it is so much easier- to find what I want and to get distracted and side tracked.

Sharing with you some sayings that struck deep.

he month of August is finished and a new season is starting. The children are going back to school again after a beautiful summer. Some of my grandchildren are starting or going back to college and university. Some of my great grandchildren start preschool or Kindergarten.

A totally new routine is waiting them, away from home for many of them.

his works of speculative fiction. Born: October 31, 1959 ( new guy).

“When the oak-tree is fallen, the whole forest echoes with it; but a hundred acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.”

Thomas Carlyle 1798- 1881, a Scottish philosopher, satirical writer, essayist, historian and teacher. Considered one of the most important social commentators of his time.

Other notable quote of his, “A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.” (really old guy!)

“Genius unexerted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks.”

Henry Ward Beecher, 18131887, an American Congre-

gationalist clergyman, social reformer, and speaker, known for his support of the abolition of slavery and his emphasis on God’s love. Another quote of his -A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life. (old guy)” And then there is a quoted form E.F. Schmacher. “Our ordinary mind tries to persuade us that we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, and shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs. Our faith gives us knowledge of something better; that we can become oak trees.” Ernst Friedrich “Fritz” Schumacher, 1911- 1977, was a German statistician and economist who is best known for his proposals for human-scale, decentralized and appropriate technologies. (relatively new guy) And finally – “from little acorns mighty oaks do grow’, an American Proverb.

The teachers are ready to start a new school year. The month of September is also a great start-up for extra curricular activities and sign up times are coming up. A new routine is starting.

The farmers are busy getting their new crop in the bins to survive another winter. The sound of swathers and combines fills the air.

It makes me think that to start a new beginning with the Lord Jesus Christ can start at any time. The Bible tells us that today is the day of salvation. So do nor delay. The new routine that salvation brings will give us joy and peace. Make the most of today. Tomorrow might never come.

Letters

‘Stop hitting us with new taxes’ The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) will deliver 14,691 petition letters to MPs, today, from business owners concerned about the increased tax burden being placed on them by Ottawa.

“As the federal Liberals convene at their caucus meeting in Kelowna and Conservative MPs in Winnipeg, independent business owners want their MPs to know that they’re being unfairly targeted.

Small business owners have been slammed with increased payroll taxes, higher EI premiums, and new environmental levies – they feel like they’re being hit from all sides,” said Dan Kelly, President of CFIB. “This is deeply troubling because it shows a growing disconnect between Ottawa and the small business community, the group this government is counting on for job-creation, innovation and economic growth.”

The federal government has also broken its election promise to lower the small business corporate tax rate to 9 per cent and recently announced new proposals that would dramatically alter the way small businesses are taxed in Canada. If implemented, the new tax rules would restrict small business owners from sharing income with family members; hike taxes on some investments; and make it more difficult for business owners to transfer their business to the next generation.

“In my 23 years of working on behalf of small businesses, I have not seen this degree of spontaneous outrage toward any other policy,” added Kelly. “Tax experts are describing these proposals as massive changes with the potential to affect the majority of the 1.1 million small and medium-sized businesses with paid employees.”

To fight these latest proposals, CFIB is a proud member of the Coalition for Small Business Tax Fairness, a unified voice of 42 organizations representing hundreds of thousands of businesses from all sectors of the economy. Last week, the Coalition sent Finance Minister Bill Morneau a letter asking him to take the proposals off the table while offering to work with the government to combat any abuses of small business tax provisions.

Kuharski steps down as Yellowhead Centre manager

Hats for sale

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

A new scoreclock and arena boards aren’t the only recent changes at the Yellowhead Centre (YHC) in Neepawa, as building manager and director of operations Ann Kuharski has tendered her resignation.

The letter indicating Kuharski’s decision was handed to representatives of the Yellowhead board on Sept. 1, with Friday, Sept. 15 being her f i n a l day on the job. Kuharski, who has served in that position since 1999, cited the reason for the decision was that it was simply time for a “change of pace”.

Official comment from representatives with the Yellowhead board could not be attained before the Neepawa Banner’s publication deadline.

In an interview with the Neepawa Banner on Wednesday, Sept. 6, Kuharski reflected upon her time in the position and the number of changes she’s witnessed first hand.

She noted that a facility like the Yellowhead is something special “The amount that the Yellowhead has changed and the way the job has changed has been really quite dramatic. When I first started, [for example], there was a board that looked after just the Redline Grill. The hall, itself was really, just, [we] rented it and then cleaned it up after they left. You

didn’t worry about bartenders, people had their own. But the regulations have changed so much with the liquor laws that that’’s been huge. We’d have to start looking after hiring all the bartenders for every event, security.

Those kinds of things,” noted Kuharski. “Now, a lot of people look at the Yellowhead as simply ‘the rink’, but they don’t see how busy the hall has become throughout the entire calendar year.

We’re so lucky to have a place like this.”

Kuharski added while there have been many

major changes that have taken place over the past two years; the little, sometimes unnoticed improvements that were made year in, year out, are just as important for the long term viability of a facility like this. She said for an old building like this [The Yellowhead was adapted from the old salt well in 1972], the facility has been able to keep up with the times.

“Things are changing, but so has [The Yellowhead Centre] and it’s been great seeing how it has improved over the years. And on top of that,

I don’t think, there isn’t a person in the community or in the region really, that hasn’t had some use for the Yellowhead or enjoyed it in some way. Maybe you don’t like hockey, but you went to a social, or your kid has celebrated a grad here. In my 18 years, I’ve also seen a lot of kids grow up here. Those are great memories. I’ll miss a lot of the faces, that’s for sure.”

The search for a new director of operations has begun. A time line for the position to be filled has not be released publicly at the time of this paper’s publication.

Allan Hyndman is putting the ‘car’ in Cardale!

By Ben Castle The Neepawa Banner

a few years and requires another restoration.

Allan Hyndman was born and raised on a farm south west of Cardale and has been farming the land there for the last 45 years, where he still lives with his wife Lois. As well as farming, Allan has been interested in motor vehicles from an early age and has always had an appreciation for older vehicles.

Over the last 40 years, A l lan has ow ned and restored a diverse range of vintage Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles, as well as some more obscure American brands. You may recognise the red, original 1967 Mustang in the photographs from my review of the 2017 Mustang in June.

What are your current vintage cars?

Allan has owned his dark blue 1929 Ford Model A Roadster since the mid1970s and fully restored it to its current condition over the course of around 20 years. He acquired it as a few parts and its current fully-working and pristine condition is testament to Allan’s painstaking restoration. Allan drives this car fairly regularly in the summer on local gravel roads and took me for a short ride. It’s surprisingly comfortable, civilised and rides really well on the gravel and has excellent ground clearance. Allan has fitted a rear “rumble” seat, which takes the place of the trunk.

In light of stiffer competition both at home and around the globe, the Ford Model A replaced the Model T in 1927. It had a 3.3 litre (201 cu in) four cylinder engine, with 40 horsepower and a top speed of over 100 km/h.

It benef ited from more power and also gained a three-speed sliding gear manual transmission and four-wheel mechanical

What was the first vehicle you restored?

Allan pulled a white 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible, minus an engine, from of a slough out at McConnell around 1980 and proceeded to restore it, following which he ran it for a few years in the early 1980s. Allan and Lois also used it as their wedding car in 1986. Allan still owns the vehicle, but it hasn’t been used for

drum brakes. The controls were also consistent with what we are used to today.

It had a fuel tank mounted between the firewall and dash panel, the fuel gauge and carburetor were fed by gravity and it was the first car to benefit from safety glass.

Allan’s other vintage car is his burgundy 1967 Ford Mustang convertible. Allan sourced this car from Ontario 12 years ago and carried out a full restoration over six to seven years, as the vehicle had a few rust issues. This car was well-specced from new, with power steering, power roof, power front disc brakes and a 289 cu in motor. Allan has upgraded the steer ing system and replaced the three-speed automat ic with a four-speed automatic transmission. It’s a stunning car, which gets daily use in the summer and gets taken to a few shows locally where it has won several prizes.

What other vintage vehicles have you owned?

Other vintage vehicles that Allan has owned include a 1918 Ford Model T, a 1963 Mercury Comet, a 1963 Ford Galaxie sedan,

Cardale’s collector cars Continued from page A7 What appeals to you about Ford vehicles?

Allan’s father had Fords and they have been good to him in terms of reliability, running costs and for him, they look good and drive well.

What is your favorite car to drive Allan has enjoyed all of his old cars, they all have their own unique character and remind him of the era in which they were built.

Having said that, his Ford Model A is a keeper and he does regret a little selling his 1956 Packard.

Any plans for the future car collection?

Allan needs to decide whether to keep and restore or sell the 1959 Ford Fairlane. He admires the Jaguar E-Type and vintage Rolls Royces but quite fancies getting a 1950s Mercury if a nice one came up at the right price but it would necessitate selling one of his other cars.

Rural Outlook Manitoba Open Farm Day

Submitted The Neepawa Banner P l a n to br i ng you r family, your friends, your neighbours and attend the eighth Manitoba Open Farm Day on Sunday Sept.

17. There are 46 host sites across the province, from Roblin to Tolstoi.

Open Farm Day is a unique opportunity for urban and rural Manitobans to improve their knowledge, understanding and increase their appreciation of our very vibrant agriculture industry. The many opportunities to

experience and increase their agriculture awareness includes choosing to participate in one of the many agri-tourism venues – from pumpkin patches, to corn mazes, or experiencing riding a horse. You can take a tour through a value added industry – a brewery. There is also the opportunity to visit one of four dairy farms, see vegetable gardens, beef farms, honey farms, a fruit orchard, a honey farm or a grain farm. Additionally there is the option to browse in one of five agriculture

museums across the province or take a walking tour with Keystone Agriculture Producers (KAP) of downtown Winnipeg and learn how agriculture organizations/businesses in years gone by played a significant role in our provincial capital. Other activities can include a stroll through the greenhouses and vegetable plots at Assiniboine Community College north campus in Brandon, a tour of the Bruce Campbell Discovery Centre to learn where our food comes from and how it gets from the farm

to your fork, or to see and engage with producers and the local Conservation Districts on their unique partnerships in addressing environmental and water issues, as well as increasing the awareness of the impact of forage and grasslands upon our environment.

Come and visit one or a number of farms – to see a sneak preview of different sites – check out the Manitoba Open Farm Day Facebook page and then go to www.openfarmday. ca to plan your day, find out information on host

sites, directions to sites, the hours open and the various events and activities taking place on Sunday Sept 17.

You may also consider staying overnight in the area to experience a full day in rural Manitoba.

For locations, fees, and bookings, visit www.bedandbreakfast.mb.ca.

O pen Fa r m Day i s hosted by Manitoba Association of Agricultural Societies (MAAS), with f und i ng suppor t from Government of Canada, Growing Forward 2 and Manitoba Agriculture.

Kerkowich claims third Rosebowl title

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

A very familiar name will be inscribed on to the Neepawa Golf and Country Club’s Rosebowl trophy this year. That’s because it’s already been etched upon it twice before, as Mark Kerkowich has claimed his third championship. The Neepawa area resident was able to hold off the challenge of Derek Cameron on Monday, Sept. 4 to take the championship f light of this annual match play event.This year’s victory is the third for Kerkowich, who previously won the Rosebowl in 2014 and 2015. Along with Kerkowich and Cameron in the championship f light were Joe Chartand, who was the consolation winner and consolation runner-up, Colton Willms.

After the event, Kerkowich indicated that this year’s victory was a little bit tougher than his prior titles. He cited the combination of stiff winds and stiff competition for making this a real challenge.

“It was a tough [final] day out there, because the wind challenged us. Fortunately, I was able to keep the ball down for most of the round, play it safe and rely on making the putts once I reached the greens. In an event like this, it’s very important to play it smart and take what the course and the conditions on any particular day give to you,” stated Kerkowich. “On top of that, it seemed as though the group of guys [that were competing] is getting tougher and tougher. Previous years were a challenge, but this year really seemed to featured some exceptional golfers.”

This year was the 55th edition of the Rosebowl Tournament. This competition has established itself as one of the most prestigious events on the western Manitoba golf calendar and consistently attracts the province’s premier players. It uses the match play scoring system, which consists of individual holes won, halved or lost. On each hole, the most that can be gained is one point.

Obituary Garnet Donald Grove Garnet Grove passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 2, 2017 at the Neepawa Health Centre, Neepawa, Manitoba. Dad was born March 7, 1922, the eldest son of Arthur and Mildred Grove, of Katrime, Manitoba.

Those left to mourn are one son and two daughters, Gary of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Gloria (Chris) Chandler of Gladstone, Manitoba and Bonnie (Gerald) Milne of Kamloops, B.C.; nine grandchildren; Nadine, Stiller, Michael and Timothy Grove; Charles and Christopher Chandler; Rebecca, Vincent, Keith and Geordie Milne; thirteen greatgrandchildren; three great-great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Dad was predeceased by his parents, his wife, Gladys, of 55 years, daughter-in-law, Patricia Grove, brothers, Robert, Rowland and Hugh, sister, Dorothy Smith and several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

After marrying Mom in 1942, the family farmed for the next 15 years in the Katrime district. In 1958, Dad took a position with Manitoba Pool Elevators in Gladstone and after a year of training, was transferred to High Bluff for seven years before returning to Gladstone for 10 years. At that time, he was relocated to Pool's head office in Winnipeg, where he worked his final 10 years before retirement. Upon retirement, Dad moved back to Gladstone, where he would care for Mom until her passing in 1998.

Dad took great delight in going on holidays and camping with his family. He and his family took road trips to places like the Gulf of Mexico, Black Hills of South Dakota, Grand Canyon and many trips, both east to Ontario and west to B.C. and points between to visit with family and friends. He also liked to get away with the boys on fishing trips whenever he could squeeze them in.

Closer to home, Dad enjoyed curling and was a lifetime member of the Gladstone Curling Club. He was active for several years in the Masonic Lodge in Gladstone and became a Grand Master of the Lodge in 1976. He was also an avid gardener. If he could not grow a field of tomatoes, he would always grow enough to supply his and the rest of the family's needs in his garden patch.

In later years, after Gladys had passed away, Garnet volunteered with the Gladstone Area Seniors' Support Program, helping area seniors with their transportation needs. Packing groceries into cars, unloading them into homes, driving to hair appointments, picking up the mail, and stopping for coffee, he was always willing to lend a hand. His generosity earned him the Gladstone Citizen of the Year Award in 2013.

In accordance with his wishes, cremation was followed by a private family service and interment at Katrime Cemetery.

Should friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Fund or to a charity of one's choice.

Clarke’s Funeral Home, Gladstone~MacGregor www.clarkesfuneralhome.com Yvonne Lee Ross It is with deep sadness that the family of Yvonne Lee Ross announces her passing on Sunday, August 20th, 2017, at the age of 65 years. She passed away suddenly in Brandon, MB. Yvonne was predeceased by her parents Jim and Leona Innes, her loving in laws, Jim and Vera Ross, son in law David Buchanan and sister in law Diane Innes.

She will be lovingly remembered by her brother Ivan (Muriel), husband Calvin Ross, daughters Dena (Wade), Leeann, and Kyla (Bert), son Ace (Janet), grandchildren Maryssa, Jason, Jessy, Russell, Sarah, Rayne, Iva, Koral, Scott, Dylan and great grandchild Sophie, as well as nieces and nephews.

Yvonne was born in 1952 in Neepawa, MB and resided in Gladstone, MB until she got married in 1970. She then moved to the Arden area. She was an active partner on the farm with her husband and also loved cleaning and did so for a living for over 20 years. She loved baking, doing crosswords, pickling, canning, farming, gardening and flowers.

She moved into Neepawa in the early ‘90s and that’s where she resided, as she didn’t like travelling and never strayed too far from home. She could be seen sitting outside her apartment on her white chair and loved to talk to people as they passed by.

She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandma, great grandma and friend to many and will be deeply missed by her entire family.

The Public Utilities Board is the provincial regulatory agency that reviews and approves rates for water and wastewater utilities in Manitoba, with the exception of the City of Winnipeg. The Board’s review process involves: • the Utility filing a rate application to the Board, • the public notification of proposed rate changes, • the Board’s review of the application through a public hearing or paper review process, and • the issuance of a Board Order which outlines the Board’s decision on the rate application and the rates to be charged.

The Manitoba Ombudsman has recently issued privacy guidelines for administrative tribunals. The PUB is mindful of its obligations under those guidelines. Its decisions in respect of the application being considered will be sensitive to the guidelines. Personal information will not be disclosed unless it is appropriate and necessary to do so. However, the PUB advises participants that these proceedings are public and that as a result, personal information protections are reduced.

The Board will then decide whether any further notice is required and whether to proceed with a public hearing or paper review process. All concerns received by the Board will be considered in the Board’s decision on rates to be charged.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT IN CONSIDERING THIS APPLICATION, THE PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD MAY OR MAY NOT FIND IT NECESSARY TO DETERMINE RATES DIFFERENT FROM THOSE APPLIED FOR BY THE APPLICANT. Note: All proceedings will be conducted in accordance with the Board’s Rules of Practice and Procedure which the Board may vary in order to constrain regulatory costs. The Rules are available at www.pubmanitoba.ca.
