Spruce Plains RCMP at the end of a high speed pursuit that started near Gladstone and concluded in Neepawa of Friday mor ning.

By Eoin Devereux and Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Press A Winnipeg man is facing a large array of charges in connection to a wild and, at times, dangerous high speed pursuit that travelled through Neepawa on Friday, Feb. 5.

27-year-old Jesse E. Young is facing 16 charges, including impaired driving, flight from police, resisting arrest, assault of a police officer and possession of stolen property.

RCMP said that the incident began Friday morning, when officers received a report of a possible impaired driver who had just left a gas station in Gladstone after allegedly stealing fuel. The complainant reported that the suspect was driving a white SUV and was heading west on Highway 16.

The vehicle was quickly located by police and efforts were made to stop the SUV as it made its way to Neepawa.

Hound of the Baskervilles delights Neepawa audience

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Press

The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (MTC) made a stop in Neepawa on Feb. 4 as part of their regional tour. The performance was included in the Kaleidoscope concert series this season. The traveling acting troupe put on a production of Hound of the Baskervilles, a Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that was adapted to a comedy play.

All of the 17 characters in the story were played by three actors, Arne MacPherson, Aaron Pridham and Toby Hughes, who donned many costumes and used exaggerated accents throughout the production. They never hesitated to remind the audience of the ridiculousness of a man playing a woman or how fake the props were, but that was part of the entertainment.

The story itself was about a young man, Sir Henry Baskerville, who wanted to claim his inheritance of the Baskerville estate. However, all

should start at THE

of Sir Henry’s predecessors mysteriously perished at night while crossing the moor on which their home was established, with only the body and large paw prints left behind. The eerie circumstance began to be called “the curse of the hound of the Baskervilles”.

Sir Henry, hoping to claim his inheritance without finding the same fate as his ancestors, enlists Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick, Dr. John Watson to get to the bottom of this curse. Watson is sent to keep Sir Henry safe, while Holmes conducts his investigation incognito, surveilling the residents of the moor.

After noticing peculiar and suspicious behaviour

from many of the characters, Holmes finds that his suspect is a long lost member of the Baskerville line, killing off his family members so that he could claim the inheritance.

Although the story itself is haunting and dramatic, it was presented in an over -dramaticized way that kept the audience laughing throughout the production. There was also a plot about the actors themselves, with Aaron Pridham, who plays Sir Henry, suf fering from panic attacks because the story was so terrifying that he forgot it wasn’t real and that he wasn’t actually Sir Henry being hunted down by a demon-hound.

The actors were so into

their roles that it left one wondering how much of the comedy was improv and how much was scripted. The audience ranged from high school students

to senior citizens, and the play had amusing content for every demographic represented there.

One of the best parts of live theatre is when

the story and the actors interact with the audience.

This production definitely accomplished that and the actors got laughs out of everyone.

1966: Cattle roamed the streets pursued by a large number of would-be cowboys

By Cecil Pittman The Neepawa Press 80 years ago Tuesday, February 11, 1936 Claire Falils, who has made himself popular as the Roxy Theatre manager here for the past few years, is to leave Neepawa in the near future and he writes the following to those he leaves behind. “To my friends and patrons of the Roxy Theatre, I would like to say just thanks a million for your past support. After Saturday of this week, my connections with the Roxy are ended. Before I leave, I would like to introduce Mr. Asper of Minnedosa, who has recently purchased the theatre here and wish him every success.”

70 years ago Thursday, February 14, 1946 The fire brigade was called to two fires last week. The first call Thursday morning was to a car near the Salvation Army Hall. It is presumed that the driver (from St. James) missed the corner and on trying to get out of the ditch, overheated the car which started on fire.

Damage is estimated at $350.00. The second fire was a pipe and chimney call at McDonald’s north end.

60 years ago Thursday, February 9, 1956 Young Bobby Wasyluk of Neepawa is a pretty happy boy by winning a VSA racing bicycle at the recent Roxy Theatre – Strock Hardware competition for perfect attendance at the local theatre for the serial ‘Riding With Buffalo Bill’ shown every Saturday at noon for the past 15 weeks. Bobby also won a free pass for a year to the theatre.

50 years ago Tuesday, February 8, 1966 For a few hours Sunday morning, Neepawa resembled the wild west come to life again as cattle roamed the streets pursued by a large number of would-be cowboys. It all started when an Atomic Transfer hit the ditch on the town hill about 2:00 a.m. Sunday. All the cattle in the transfer escaped, resulting in a wild chase

which lasted about three hours. “The cowboys” pursued their frightened victims from one end of town to the other and finally succeeded in rounding up 11. The elusive 12th animal took a little longer to subdue.

40 years ago Thursday, February 12, 1976 Agnes McDougall, the first-ever rural president of the Manitoba Ladies Curling Association, was presented with a scroll and plaque in recognition for the many innovations she has introduced during her year as president and for the work she did towards bringing the Lassies here to Neepawa, and towards making them successful. Neepawa mayor R. L. Hurrell made the presentation and offered his congratulations to Mrs. McDougall.

30 years ago Thursday, February 13, 1986 The committee studying the purchase of the former childhood home of Margaret Laurence is prepared to recommend the sale provided it can be declared a heritage home.

Committee chairman Ivan Traill said an application for heritage home status was forwarded to the province two weeks ago.

If the application is approved, the home could be designated as an historic site. The recommendation for purchase also hinges on the approval of grants needed to refurbish the home.

Opinion

PC’s propose stronger accountability measures Elections provide the ultimate accountability because they give voters the opportunity to throw the bums out. But, of course, there are no guarantees that the new guys will be better. That’s why it’s important to continually adjust and strengthen the accountability rules.

Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives recently released a list of proposals to increase accountability within the provincial government. Here are some of the highlights: The conflict of interest commissioner makes sure all government decisions are made in the best interest of the citizens. This is important. For example, if a legislator has a friend who could benefit from a government contract, that legislator may need to be recused from any part of the process to award that contract.

Questions about conflict of interest are some of the many clouds hanging over Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton. A whistleblower raised the alarm regarding a potential government procurement of water-filled flood barriers worth millions through an untendered contract with a distributor that has ties to Ashton. Questions aren’t the same as proof, but public servants need to be above reproach.

Right now Manitoba’s conflict of interest commissioner can’t investigate complaints. The Conservatives promise to change that. That would give taxpayers answers when conflict of interest questions arise.

While on the topic of untendered contracts, the Conservatives also say they would empower the auditor general to randomly audit those contracts to make sure they’re entirely justified.

Sometimes untendered contracts are necessary to deal with an emergency, but they can also create an opportunity for corruption.

Random audits would reduce the temptation to use untendered contracts an inside track on government business.

Political parties shouldn’t take money from taxpayers. Yet Manitoba taxpayers are forced to give political parties a subsidy of $600,000 to litter our streets with signs, run attack ads on TV and tie up our phone lines with robocalls. So, instead of earning

donations from supports who believe in their vision, political parties can simply help themselves to government coffers.

To their credit, the Conservatives are the only party that’s refused to take the money and they say they’ll get rid of the subsidy if they win the election.

The Conservatives are also tackling the issue of severance payments for political staff.

Premier Greg Selinger shocked taxpayers by giving seven political staffers $670,000 in severance payments after they backed rivals in the NDP civil war. He refused to disclose details. The government even blocked access-to-information requests asking for the criteria used to calculate the cash outs.

The Conservatives promise to make severance payments to political staff more transparent. They have yet to make it clear exactly how they would do this. Alberta publishes the severance clause associated with each staffer’s pay. The federal government provides clear formulas for determining severance payments and caps the total at six months of pay. Anything would be better than the current system of stuffing arbitrary amounts of cash into the pockets of political staffers as they’re ushered out the door.

It’s easy to be cynical. Too many people believe that all politicians are the same and ethical breaches are routine. And it is true that no accountability system will prevent all bad behaviour.

But a good fence is worth building even if the occasional member of the herd still strays. It will help to further empower watchdogs such as the auditor general and ethics commissioner. It will make political parties more accountable if they depend on voluntary donations from supporters rather than handfuls of taxpayers’ cash. And clarifying severance policies for political staffers will protect taxpayers from politically expedient payments.

These are accountability proposals that are all well worth implementing.

Todd MacKay Prairie director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Letters to the Editor

Looking for minor hockey photos I am currently doing some research on minor/amateur hockey in Neepawa from the early 1900s up until the Junior team arrived there in 1989.

I would be interested in any photos you may have from minor hockey. These would be from Tom Thumb, BB, AB, Midget, Juvenile or Intermediate.

I do already have all of the championship team photos, so I do

not need those, but any other team or individual photos would be helpful. Anything I get I would give consideration to putting them in a book which will be published in the Fall. If you happen to find anything please contact me at rickbarb@shaw.ca Any hockey memories/stories/anecdotes would be welcome as well. Rick Sparling.

Libraries are more than just reference books and newspapers Submitted The Neepawa Public Library

Are you a one-book-ata-time reader? Or do you like to have more than one book on the go – maybe one for each room in the house? No matter how we read, it’s important to remember our good fortune to have access to almost any type of reading material that we desire.

Many people in the world do not enjoy our abundant access to books and February is set aside to highlight the importance of literature being available to everyone.

February is “I Love to Read Month” and includes “Freedom to Read Week” from Feb. 21 to 27. Neepawa Library promotes your freedom to read by encouraging residents of all ages to drop in to see what we have to offer.

Maybe you haven’t taken out a library membership because you don’t think we have what you like to read.

Maybe you don’t think we have the latest titles. Well,

libraries are more than just reference books and newspapers.

Our branch is part of the Western Manitoba Regional Library system and we provide access to a wide network of libraries with a multitude of resources. If we don’t have a book, it can be ordered from one of our member branches or even from one of the many other libraries in the province. We can also help you gain access to a multitude of electronic books via eLibraries Manitoba and Hoopla.

In addition, we provide access to the National Network of Equitable Library Service which is a partnership to provide talking books to library cardholders with perceptual disabilities. Perceptual disability means an impairment that prevents or inhibits a person from reading as a result of: severe or total impairment of sight or the inability to focus or move one’s eyes; the inability to hold or manipulate a book; or

an impairment relating to comprehension, such as a reading disability. Persons with perceptual disabilities are encouraged to register with the CNIB or with the library. Once registered, patrons can borrow audio books produced in the Daisy format for use in Daisy players or in conventional CD players. More information is available by calling the library at 204476-5648.

The winter session of Storytime is well underway and has only three weeks remaining - how time flies!

Everyone is enjoying the books and rhymes and crafts – from groundhogs to

pirate ships, the fun never ends! Storytime is held on Fridays at 11:00 am and is for preschool age children and their caregivers. Our next session will begin in April – watch for more information.

Oh, and don’t forget that we have lots of romantic stories and movies on hand for your enjoyment of St. Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14.

Whether you’re looking for a hot, steamy romance or a sensitive tale of a longdistance relationship, we can help find just the right story for you!

Natives gain measure of revenge on Blues Neepawa Natives launch Harvest

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Press

A pair of goals from Brayden Atkinson, paired with a 58 save performance from goaltender Jeremy Link, helped lead the Neepawa Natives to 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Blues.

The game, held on Wednesday, Feb. 3 at the Yellowhead Centre, didn’t start out exactly the way Neepawa had hoped for, as the Blues pelted Link with 28 shots in the first period. The Winnipeg product stood on his head however, making several remarkable stops to keep it even at 0-0. Late in the opening frame, however, Winnipeg finally slipped one past, as Reid Stefanson secured his 15th goal of the season.

Neepawa’s players were likely read the riot act in the first intermission from the coaches, as in the second period, the team started playing an aggressive, physical style of game. They also put together a much more solid defensive effort, cutting the shots on goal down to a more manageable 12 for the period. That hard work eventually paid off, though it was combined little bit of luck, with Neepawa forward Brayden Atkinson being the beneficiary. With 3:02 remaining in the second, the puck took an unusual bounce off the boards in the Winnipeg end, ricocheting right to an open Atkinson.

He was able to take advantage, sliding it past the Winnipeg goaltender, to make it 1-1.

In the third period there were many opportunities on both sides of the ice, but it remained deadlocked at 1-1 at the end of regulation. In overtime, Atkinson scored his second goal of the game three minutes into the extra frame, with assists going to Kyle McDonald and Patrick Carlin.

This latest overtime win improved Neepawa’s regular season record to 10-37-1 on the year.

NEEPAWA, MB. Aug 19, 2015 - A new initiative from the Neepawa Natives junior ‘A’ hockey club is reaching out to the region’s agricultural industry. Harvest for Hockey is a project where local farm families are being asked to donate a portion of their crop to help support the operations of the club.

As part of the donation, all participating farmers and their immediate families would be recognized on signage at the Yellowhead Arena, as well as online on the team website. The Neepawa Natives are also planning a Harvest for Hockey game night early in the 20152016 MJHL regular season, where the club would recognize its contributors and extend a free gate admission of up to six tickets to all of the participating Harvest for Hockey farmers and farming families.

Natives board member Cam Tibbett said that within the next few days, farms within a 20 kilometre radius of Neepawa will receive a letter outlining the Harvest for Hockey concept.

“This is something the team is very excited about.

We’ve mailed out details to farms across the region.

Neepawa and surrounding area has a vibrant farming community, so it’s very important for the team to explore options for making partnerships with farmers,” said Tibbett.

Team general manager Myles Cathcart said it’s very important for the hockey team to establish a stronger connection to the region’s agricultural base.

“The area has a strong farming heritage and the Neepawa Natives are looking forward to making partNEEPAWA PRESS R0011063026

A lone goal was scored in the second period, as Gladstone’s Matt Boshman was able to slip up past Neepawa goaltender Brad Nelson. Scoring production ramped up in the third, as the Lakers secured five in the final 20 minutes, compared to a pair from the Farmers. Rodney White potted his third goal of the night and Tyler Lazaruk scored the other for the visitors.

It was simply not enough however, as Gladstone earned the 7-4 win.
