Annual Sports Dinner a knockout success Tough guy Jeff Odgers set the tone for sports and life

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press A former hockey player who literally fought his way to the NHL enthralled a packed Yellowhead Centre on Saturday, Nov. 3.

Jeff Odgers, who was the keynote speaker at this year’s Sports Dinner, started off by showing a video that gave an overview of where his life is now. Currently, he farms with his father and sons in Saskatchewan, which was what he had planned to do all his life. But his dream was to play hockey and it turned out he had to get creative to make that dream a reality.

Odgers recalled stories of his time before the NHL, how hard he had to work to get noticed. He noted that a lot of the players seemed to be faster and more skilled than him so he was passed over many times. But something one of his coaches had told him helped him stand out. He was told to make sure that every time he hit the ice, his name was written down. With that in mind, he began to build his tough-guy persona.

Odgers shared stories of some of his first fights and some of his best fights, from his time with the Brandon

Former NHLer and current farmer Jeff Odgers of Spy Hill, SK shared the story of his hockey life with the audience at the Neepawa Natives Sports Dinner on Nov. 3 at the Yellowhead Centre.

Wheat Kings all the way to his time in the NHL, eventually ending with the Atlanta Thrashers. Some of his stories were funny, others were inspiring. But he made sure to pass on some wisdom to the Natives, many of whom are undoubtedly hoping to get to the level Odgers did some day.

“When you’re playing, make sure you give yourselves the best shot. It is absolutely impossible to work too hard. It’s impossible to be too good of a teammate... The only thing stopping you from being the hardest working guy on the ice is you – and the best teammate. And when

you get a team that can buy into that and believe in yourselves, it’s amazing what you can accomplish,” he stressed to the young players. He explained that even though they may go through some struggles, the most important thing is to make sure you’re there for your teammates. “The

easiest thing to do is get selfish – worry about points, worry about your future, worry about yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do.

This is when you guys pull together, you guys become a team and you guys find a way to make each other better.”

Darren Roe honoured at Neepawa Sports Dinner Continued from page 1 After a few questions for Odgers from the audience, the mic was handed over to Jody Jury to present the Sportsperson of the Year award. This award is given to a different individual ever y year who shows outstanding dedication to sports and recreation in the community. This year’s recipient was Jury’s va r sit y basketba l l co coach, Darren (Bear) Roe. Roe has been involved in community sports programs for over 30 years, focusing mainly on school basketball teams. He has coached from grades 4 to 6 all the way up to the varsity girls high school team, as well as hosting basketball clinics for beginners to star t developing t heir skills. He also won the AA Coach of the Year Award from Basketball Manitoba twice. Jury read three nomination letters from some of his old players and a former basketball coach who worked with him for many years. She also called Lina Gordon to the stage, another former basketball player who grew up learning from

him. Gordon read a letter from one of her former teammates and a letter that she wrote, detailing everything he’s done for his players and the impact he’s had in their lives.

“Bear was a major reason for our success as a team in high school,” Gordon began, noting that his coaching helped get the team to three championships in her three years on the varsity team. She explained how every lesson he taught them could be used not only on the court, but in everyday life.

She recounted that even when they were struggling, Roe would keep the team work ing at improv ing their game, without being negative or making them feel bad about themselves like she has seen some coaches do. “Bear was not only highly respected by my teammates and I, but by other coaches throughout the province...

I’d like to thank him and congratulate him, because he definitely deserves this award.”

Roe told the Banner & Press this recognition was a complete surprise. “This was very unexpected. And

just to hear my name called like that and to listen to details from the submission letters that nominated me

for this award; it was really quite humbling,” stated Roe. “You do something like this because you love

the sport and you want to give something back to your community. But then you have something like this happen and you realize you have that type of positive impact on other people doing something that you love. It was an unexpected honour.”

Fol low i ng t he pres entation, Neepawa Nat ives boa rd P resident Ken Waddell took to the stage for the live auction.

Prizes included framed and signed photographs of past and present NHL players, signed hockey jerseys and a mini fridge full of swag and beverages from Farmery Estate Brewery. The auction was the main fundraiser of the night, bringing in $7,500 from all the items. Other fundraisers included a 50/50 draw, Chase the Ace and a door prize draw.

To finish off the night, a second guest speaker entertained the crowd.

Winnipeg based comed-

ian Dan Ver v ille told some jokes and anecdotes that most of the audience could relate to. He relayed tales of being bit by a dog while golf ing, ruining relationships at Costco and how he realized he’s slowly turning into his father. Verville brought the spectators to tears from laughing so hard.

By the end of the night, everyone was smiling and full, satisfied with a good night that turned out to be a great success for the local MJHL team.

Whitemud Comedy Group to perform “It’s a Wonderful Life”

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

Neepawa’s Whitemud Comedy Group is shaking things up by bringing an old Christmas classic to the stage of the Roxy Theatre this winter. Usually doing readings of Dickens’ “Christmas Carol”, the group has instead opted to perform a radio-play format production of Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Dec. 7 and 8. The crew is drawing inspiration from the 1940’s time period, in which the story is based, and will give a behind-the-scenes look at what old-time radio may have been like, right down to the special effects.

Whitemud Comedy Group member Don Walmsley spoke to The Banner & Press, providing details and insight into the play’s story.

Describing the piece as a

“feel-good play”, Walmsley expressed the hope that it would “allow us to take a step back” and look at what we have done in our own lives, even if it is seen as something small.

“What we have here [in the play] is a person having an opportunity to look at what life would be like without him. He’s a regular person, gets caught up in things, ends up not doing the dreams he had— but certainly doing things within his own community— but that always had a sense of frustration about why. Y’know ‘I wanted to be an engineer, I wanted to build things, I wanted to travel the world, I wanted to be an explorer’, whatever, and very few of us have that opportunity to actually truly sit down and ref lect ‘what would life be like?’, because even though you live what we might call a regular life, you’re still connecting with

people every day and leaving an impression,” said Walmsley. “There’s a very famous quote and it’s arguable who to attribute it to, but it simply means ‘people don’t always remember what you say to them, but always remember how you made them feel’, and that’s really what this is about.

So during the course of the play, the individual [the protagonist] has that kind of angst around ‘I had a dream, here I am and I’m happy but...’, and then through the vehicle of script writing, pretend and imagination, he finds himself in a situation where he sees the world as if he had not been in it. So suddenly things he took for granted, although they weren’t necessarily spectacular, they are not there. No family, his family and their issues, his friends, the whole thing and it gives him a very brief snapshot at what he’s done. As a result, he comes

to the conclusion that it’s a wonderful life, really, when you look at it.”

Old-school sound With the 1940’s inspiration, the group is completely avoiding digital sound as much as possible.

This means that there won’t be any laptops or mixers providing sounds for effect cues. Instead, the group will be producing the effects themselves as they perform, much like the king’s companion clacking coconut halves together in Monty Python’s “Holy Grail”.

“Special effects- We’re kind of excited about that,” Walmsley enthused. “It’s sort of an unknown because when you’re not able to pull it up on disc or put it into your computer if you’ve got it on a hard drive because you’ve downloaded all the effects and you can cue them, this is actually people going to be doing

doors, windows, high heels and trains and all sorts of different stuff as it would have been done then.”

Walmsley stated that anot her big cha l lenge for the actors will be the voices. Accustomed to an equal ratio of characters to actors, the group will be facing the challenge of voicing multiple characters per actor, and ensuring there is enough separation in voice from one character to another. The actors have been given full creative range to accomplish this, allowing them to decide how each character should

sound.

“It’s one thing to be up there acting with your own voice, even if it’s a different character,” Walmsley commented. “it’s another thing to suddenly do a different voice.”

In closing, the Whitemud Comedy Group member expressed that “it’s nice to be doing something different, and it’s a nice way to celebrate the Christmas season.” He encourages people to come see the show, and revealed that posters will be up and tickets made available for purchase soon.

He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

It depends how you define bullying

ast weekend, Premier Brian Pallister advised members of the Manitoba Government and General Employees Union ( MGGEU ) that they should vote for his party in the next election. His logic was that their jobs would be a lot more secure under his government, as he plans to balance the budget.

A balanced budget should yield a stable government, with a steady number of employees. That was all well and good until Pallister also told the union rank and file members that their union dues were higher than they needed to be to pay for all the anti-government ads the unions are running. It would be interesting to determine how much money per member is being put into lobbying ads by the unions.

T he un ions lashed back pretty quickly, calling a Premier Pallister a bully. Sometimes Pallister is a bit aggressive for sure, but having known Brian Pallister and former Premier Gary Doer personally, I can attest that Doer makes Pallister look wussy. Doer was just more charming and devious in his bullying.

And that brings me to the irony of the unions calling Pallister a bully and saying they won’t be bullied. Unions’ main claim to both fame and strength is in their ability to bully. They don’t like secret ballots, as that process is harder to intimidate.

They have a certain hard-assed arrogance about them that raises the best bullies to the top positions.

Ken Waddell members, they don’t want to have anything to do with union meetings or being on the union executives.

Let’s look at a bit of history.

In 1919, the union organizers in the Winnipeg General strike chased the Eaton’s sales clerks out of the building on Portage Avenue with baseball bats. My mother witnessed that. My grandfather was threatened that they would break both his arms if he didn’t join the union and go on strike. Many people have told me about union meetings in recent times, where shouting and intimidation was the method of operation. There are many very sincere and hard working union leaders, but for them to claim Pallister is a bully with a clean conscience would require a lot of housecleaning down at the union hall.

In my opinion, public service unions, such as MGGEU, are pretty much a waste of time and money. Government employees, in most instances, are paid more than private sector workers in similar positions. They usually have modest work weeks and they usually have decent workplace physical environments. I

am sure there are exceptions, but most civil servants aren’t in any big hurry to change jobs, so one would assume that a government position is generally a good thing. I believe that home care workers suffer under stupid rules and a horrible schedule. I think some frontline health care workers get a crappy deal too.

But aside from those instances, civil servants seem to be doing OK. It has been reported that there has been a significant reduction in the number of civil servants in Manitoba. The numbers peaked under the NDP and then started to come down. The Pallister government has continued the decline in civil servant numbers.

Maybe this question is a bit too crass, but has anyone noticed a decline in services? If so, I would be happy to report it or examine it in a future column.

his year, Remembrance Day will carry a special meaning; 100 years ago, World War I ended. The Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars, but we know how spectacularly the last century failed in this ideal. From cold wars, to world wars, to proxy wars, wars driven by hubris and those driven by ideology, we’ve seen no shortage of bloodshed over the last century.

Remembrance Day gives us the MY opportunity to PERSPECTIVE give pause and remember those who per i s hed in military and Kate p e a c e k e e p i n g Jackman-Atkinson operations. But this year, more of us than usual will be thinking about the First World War, which began in 1914. The armistice that ended that war came into effect at 11 am, on Nov. 11, 1918. That date and time— 11 am, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, came to signify our recognition of the end of not only that war, but all others.

World War I plays an important role in Canada’s history. In fact, many point to the battlefields of Europe as our country’s true birthplace. Canada entered World War I as a member of the Commonwealth, but the performance of Canadian soldiers made the world take notice of the new country. The Battle of Vimy Ridge, in particular, is a key part of Canada’s mythology.

Located near Arras, in northern France, the seven-kilometre long Vimy Ridge held a commanding view over the surrounding countryside. Over 150,000 French and British soldiers had died trying to take the ridge from German control. Over four days of bloody fighting, starting on April 9, 1917, the Canadians took the ridge, though more than 10,600 of them were killed or wounded.

“In those few minutes,” said Canadian Brigadier-General A.E. Ross of the victory, “I witnessed the birth of a nation.”

World War I was the bloodiest war for Canadian soldiers, taking the lives of approximately 68,000 Canadians, far more than any other military action. Comparatively, approximately 47,000 Canadians lost their lives in World War II, followed by the Korean War, which claimed the lives of just over 500 Canadians.

World War I was not just deadly, but it was also characterized by the horrific conditions associated with trench warfare. Not only did soldiers have to contend with the opposing forces, they were also under attack from oversized rats and lice, spreading disease.

The trenches were cold and wet and trench foot, a frostbite-like infection, was a reality. The need to be constantly on alert made sleep hard to come by.

In a world that many times seems to be on the precipice of an all-out war, remembrance becomes even more important.

Tensions are high and there’s no shortage of tough talk from world leaders, both those already in power and those seeking it.

Refugees are fleeing oppressive and dangerous regimes, as those elsewhere in the world look on with skepticism and concern.

We’ve seen this before.

Remembrance becomes even more important in a world that has lost those with first hand experience. In February of 2010, John Babcock, Canada’s last known World War I veteran passed, at the age of 109. In May of 2012, the last combat veteran of the First World War, British-born sailor Claude Choules, died at the age of 110.

We can listen to the recorded personal stories, we can read the biographies and first-hand accounts, we can imagine receiving the news that a loved one wouldn’t be coming home, we can try to imagine what it was like in the trenches; with the death and the cold and the rats. But it’s all a step removed. As our world leaders fan the flames of hostilities, we need people who are actively aware of what the end result might be. We need remembrance.

Perspectives

We must remember them

O

ne year into World War I, British novelist H. G. Wells confidently predicted that this great war would be “the last war” ever fought.

He believed that those involved would soon get tired of fighting each other and would choose to lay down their weapons, sit down at a table and negotiate the terms of a lasting peace.

But, as we all know, the “war that was supposed to end all wars” ended nothing. True, the fighting stopped (100 years ago this coming Sunday) but the Treaty of Versailles that set the terms for what many believed would be a “lasting” peace actually sowed the seeds of anger, distrust and a desire for revenge that laid the foundation for the rise of National Socialism in Germany, the rise of Hitler as a political leader and ultimately the horrors of World War II. But we won’t talk of that war this week.

By Nov. 11, 1918, WWI had become the most brutal and costliest war in world history. But for Canada, WWI was a bright spot.

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein This was the war in which Canadians set the terms for their involvement and refused to back down from those who challenged them.

When the war began, Canada’s population stood at 8 million people. Six hundred thirty thousand (630,000) either enlisted or were drafted into the Canadian army. Four hundred fifty thousand (450,000) were sent overseas. Sixty thousand, six hundred sixty-one (60,661) were killed in action; while 172,0 00 were injured.

Hardly any community anywhere in Canada made it through the war without losing one or more of its citizens.

Why did Canadians get involved in that war? We didn’t have to go. As an independent country, we could have refused to get involved and no one would have argued with us.

So why were we there?

We joined the war because Great Britain and France, our two “founding nations,” asked for our assistance.

They were neighbours who needed our help and we responded by sending them as much help as we could.

What were we fighting against? A philosophy, a political ideology, a belief put into words by German Chancellor Kaiser Wilhelm who, when urging his Austrian counterpart to invade and crush neighbouring Serbia said: “We are Teutonic people. They are Slavs. Teutons were meant to govern. Slavs were meant to serve.”

Those feelings never died when the Armistice ending WWI was signed.

It only took 20 years for a young German army officer named Adolf Hitler, using the exact same logic, to stir the passions of a new

generation of Germans and incite another world war. And in one way or another, the same ideology has surfaced many times since and has been at the root of civil wars in which one side (tribe or clan) has tried to obliterate another.

Those who fought and died in WWI did their best to rid the world of the philosophy and ideology articulated by Kaiser Wilhelm. We must carry on their fight. We must work to eradicate all forms of bias, prejudice and racism from our society. We must stop trying to get people to conform to “our way” of thinking or “our way” or life and allow them to live, love, work and worship as they please. Like those who fought and died in WWI, we must commit ourselves to carry on their fight until the battle is won or death claims us.

We must never forget the courage and heroism with which these individuals fought and died. Every day we live, but especially on November 11, we must remember them.

We will remember...

T

he moment of silence at eleven o’clock, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, has always moved me. Born in 1946, I have no memories of the First or Second World Wars. I have stories. I have images. I have impressions.

Back in my school days, we simply gathered in the auditorium, heard the poem “In Flanders Fields”, paused for the minute, and returned to classes. There may have been a recording of the Last Post, on one occasion a real live bugle.

My uncles did not speak of their time in active service, perhaps because Mennonite creed proclaimed pacifism, perhaps because few veterans did. There was a school bus driver that had served. Served twice. Lied the first time when he was too young, and the second time when he was too old, but could not/would not have his son enter the services alone.

I watched him age and

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen lose one leg, and then the other. Or the gentleman that ran a small garage in the village, walking with the aid of a cane because of war injuries. I listened. In that era even the escalators in the department stores - Eatons and The Bay- stopped and an eerie silence filled the massive buildings.

In later years, I attended community services. Moved by the honour guards, the red serges, the veterans. I knew more about the wars by then. Felt the losses and grief more deeply. Had read about heroes and knew men and women who were willing to recount some of their experiences. The reality struck more closely.

In the decade I have been blessed to travel inter-

nationally. Without fail, my companions and I wander through cemeteries, pause at war memorials, read names. My time in Holland impacted me forever; the reality of the brass cobblestones, the tributes dotting the countryside and cities.

This past summer visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau; grim and horrible realities.

Trying to understand, to comprehend, man’s inhumanity to man.

It was fitting that I spent time at Edinburgh Castle, lingering long in the war memorial centre. As a prairie girl, gaining an understanding of the battle on the seas. “They have no other grave than the sea.”

On the seaman’s memorial.

The bronze of a young lad

standing by a grave with the words ‘Known only to God.” The reverence in these was reassuring. Silence. Calm, quiet crowds of people slowing, respectfully moving slowly through the rooms. Pausing to read names in the massive books with the names of the fallen, sons and daughters of the Commonwealth.

Hearing the response to the famous ‘In Flanders Fields’, a poem written by Moina Michael – We Shall Keep the Faith.

Another November the eleventh. Wars and rumours of war still fill our world. Individuals still sacrifice, the supreme and ultimate sacrifice, for what they believe, to protect and defend. Women still mourn. Children still suffer. Cities are still being destroyed. As we gather here at home, in safety, at peace, may we never forget those who worked and died to provide these gifts. Personally, let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.

Observation

T

his weekend, we will again remember the soldiers who fought, often in foreign countries, to set the people free from the oppressor. One hundred years ago, they ended World War I. Then in 1940, World War II started. During those wars, many men and women lost their lives to set others free.

Others came home, never to be the same physically, emotionally and mentally. We have seen many wars after these and there is still war going on and people are still being killed. On this earth, we cannot seem to live in unity and harmony with one another. There is strife, greed and many other obstacles that stand in the way of pleasing God and His sovereign reign on this earth. We need to be set free from these obstructions and surrender to a loving God and His Kingdom, where there is no strife or any other hindrances.

We live in a free country. This weekend, remember the freedom we have here and pause for a moment to remember those who fought for our freedom in this world.

Busy month for NACI HOPE group

By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press

Minestrone soup

The month of October was jam-packed with projects and events for the Neepawa Area Collegiate social justice group, HOPE (Helping Our world Pursue Equality).

Bag Up Manitoba First, HOPE collected plastic bags from NACI students for the Bag Up M a n itoba i n it iat ive.

Three students, Kennedy Strelczik, Brooke Allen and Cordelia Smith told the Banner & Press about what Bag Up Manitoba is.

They explained that from Oct. 15, NACI students were encouraged to bring in plastic bags from home that they would have thrown away. HOPE kept all these bags to be counted up after Oct. 31. They explained that the idea behind Bag Up Manitoba is to keep these plastic bags out of landfills to prevent them from polluting the environment. On Nov. 1, HOPE counted all the bags to, totalling 4,136.

Bag Up Manitoba will come to collect all the bags to be recycled into frisbees and benches, which can be won by participating elementary schools.

WE Day inspires On Tuesday, Oct. 30, HOPE members attended the annual WE Day event in Winnipeg. HOPE member Emma Gale sent in some information and members Jayden Hanke, Peyton McLaughlin and Monique Malsi talked to the Banner & Press about their experience there. WE Day is an annual event that happens all across Canada, the US and the UK that brings celebrities, motivational speakers and philanthropists together to inspire thousands of youth to make a difference in the world. “Speaking for the whole group, everyone really enjoyed it and [there were] lots of inspirational 181126M0 181126M1

Senior members of HOPE “trick-or-treated” on Halloween, collecting food donations for the Neepawa Salvation Army food bank.

speakers and lots of fun,” noted Hanke.

Even with the “bright lights and amazing performers” Gale described, the highlight for the group seemed to be the speakers.

“Kids listened to their life stories, their struggles and how they have only become stronger from the obstacles they have experienced.

Each story was different from the others, inspiring and memorable,” said Gale.

Both McLaughlin and Hanke agreed the speaker that stood out to them was Sami Jo Small. Small was a goalie for the Canada women’s hockey team. She went to the Olympics three times and many world championships. Hanke explained that at one of the championships, Small’s team had made it to the gold medal game, but suddenly, she was told by the coaches that they were going to play the other goalie in the final. Her speech at WE Day was about overcoming that disappointment and being happy for the team’s accomplishments and not just her own.

Malsi noted that there was a different speaker that struck a chord with her.

“I liked Lizzie Velasquez and just how she accepted who she was.” Velasquez is a world renowned mo-

tivational speaker who talks about bullying and how to become happy the way you are. “It was very positive,” Malsi said.

There were a lot of good points to take from the many presentations, but there was one that stood out to the HOPE members above the rest. “Don’t bully people. That was a lot of the motivational speakers’ problems,” McLaughlin said. The others agreed that was the most important lesson to remember. “And even if you have a problem you think ruins your whole life, never give up, because good stuff will happen,” Hanke added.

Scare Away Hunger Only a day after the group got back from WE Day, the senior high members of HOPE participated in their annual food drive, Scare Away Hunger. Every year on Halloween, the group goes out “trick-or-treating” for non-perishable food items to donate to the local Salvation Army food bank.

HOPE member Taylor Johnson told the Banner & Press how the food drive went this year. “There was about 40 kids involved,” Johnson said. “We collected 2,278 lbs of food and $45 in donations.” Johnson noted that their total is similar to

what they’ve had in previous years. She added the reception from the community was really good. “Most people have seen the posters or read the article in the paper so they know to have things ready [to donate].”

One problem the HOPE group ran into this year was a large amount of expired food. They want to remind the community that even though the food is nonperishable, there is still an expiry date and they are not allowed to accept items that have been expired for more than a year. While they appreciate every item donated, they encourage the community to check the dates before they give during the next food drive, because there was a significant amount of donations this year that could not be used. Regardless of the amount they had to throw out, HOPE still made a big impact on the community through this initiative.

In September and October, the local food bank helped around 20 households each month, with between 1,300 and 1,500 lbs of food given out. With HOPE’s donation of over 2,200 lbs of food, Neepawa’s Salvation Army food bank can help even more families struggling with food security this month.

These cool fall days call for soup. Nothing warms the body and soul better than a hot bowl of homemade soup.

Cannellini beans are large, kidney shaped, white Italian beans. This hearty Italian soup is a meal in itself. The flavour gets better with age so leftovers are great.

2 tbsp oil 1 540ml can diced tomato 1 lb stewing beef, cut into 1/4 cup chopped fresh 1-inch pieces parsley 1 medium onion, diced 1 tsp dried basil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp dried oregano 2 tetra packs beef broth 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper 2 stalks celery, finely sliced 1 cup uncooked elbow 1 carrot, peeled and sliced macaroni 3 cups shredded cabbage 1 small zucchini, sliced 1 540ml can cannellini thinly beans, drained and rinsed Parmesan cheese for garnish In a large, heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil. Add the beef and brown, stirring occasionally.

Brown for 3 to 4 minutes, add onions and garlic; cook for several minutes more. Add the broth, celery, carrots, cabbage, beans, tomatoes, parsley basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Add the macaroni and zucchini and simmer for 20 minutes or until macaroni is tender.

When serving, garnish each bowlful with Parmesan cheese.

Rylan and Rylee are two members of Peer Helpers at NACI. “Peer helping is based on the fact that youth often seek out their peers when they are experiencing some frustration, worry or concern,” said Rylan.

“By establishing a peer program, schools teach students how to help, not hurt, others,” explained Rylee.

Peer helping fosters a climate of care and respect

within NACI to reduce violence, vandalism and bullying. In addition, peer helping enables youth to learn skills to enhance selfimage, reduce loneliness, promote health and support academic and personal achievement.

“The Neepawa Rotary Club is very pleased to support the youth in our community,” relayed Wayne Hildebrand.

1958: Mothers present wings to three Air Cadets

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Tuesday, November 10, 1908 Lake and rail shipments will cease on Nov. 21.

A mixed train service has commenced on the C.N.R. between Brandon and Regina.

A board of undertakers, composed wholly by women, is being incorporated in San Francisco.

Representatives of Russia and Japan are to meet shortly to arrange a treaty to protect the seals of the North Pacific. When preliminaries are settled between these two, the compact will be joined by Britain and the United States.

A French woman doctor and suffragist has asked the French government to compel women to do military service. The old objection to giving them the vote because they do not fight would, she thinks, thus be best met. She says women are too afraid of using violence, and force alone will make their cause triumph.

100 years ago, Friday, November 8, 1918 Deaths from “f lu” in Winnipeg number 183.

Hungary has stopped shipping food to Germany.

A Winnipeg “evangelist” was fined $100 for refusal to “work.”

Ger ma ny a nd t he Bolsheviki have severed diplomatic relations.

T he Bolshev i k i are bellowing for peace, but still doing service for the Kaiser.

The Austrian navy of 251 ships has been transferred to the Allies and will help to clean-up the Germans and Bolsheviki in the Black Sea. O n e o f C a n a d a’s most aggressive political campaigns has commenced an advocacy of Canada’s receiving a war indemnity from Germany.

F i g ht i n g c ont i nue s ferocious on the western front, but the Germans are getting the worst of it every day, the British having taken important positions and 10,000 prisoners in one day.

Liet. McLeod, V.C., of Stonewall, recently returned from the battle front in France, and received with great honors in Winnipeg and at home died of Spanish influenza on Wednesday.

It is no wonder that Austria quit the war. In the

last week of hostilities the Italians took half a million prisoners, 200,000 horses and 6,000 guns. Total value captured material is estimated at five billion dollars.

90 years ago, Friday, November 9, 1928 Fire at Foster Orr’s, three miles east of Franklin, on the correction line, destroyed a large barn filled with feed and six stacks of oat sheaves, on Tuesday afternoon.

Insurance partly covers the loss. The cause of the fire is not known; the building was ablaze beyond extinction when this was discovered.

80 years ago, Tuesday, November 8, 1938 Officials of the Town of Neepawa, the C.I.L. and the C.P.R. gathered in conference in Neepawa Saturday to discuss the matter of disposal of the waste br ine from the Neepawa Salt Co. well through the local sewers.

Since the plant has been in operation, the brine has just been flushed onto the ground east of the building with the result that a great deal of vegetation has been destroyed. If the brine is put through the sewers however, it may have some effect on the interests of the C.P.R. which pumps water from the White Mud River below the sewer outlet.

70 years ago, November, 1948 Eighteen-monthold Rose Marie Lemky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Lemky, of Arden district, who had been missing for 23 ½ hours, was found at 4:30 p.m.

Nov. 9; and rushed to Neepawa General Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. More than 400 persons from the district joined in the untiring search which covered a three mile radius around the Lemky farm home.

60 years ago, Friday, November 7, 1958 In a brief but impressive ceremony Wed nesday night, three Neepawa youths reached the height of ambition for a member of Air Cadet Squadron No. 9.

They received their wings.

The presentations were made by the boys’ mothers.

Mrs. Lilian Coull pinned the wings on the uniform of her son, WO2 Glen Coull.

F/Sgt. Wm. Shanks received

his from his mother, Mrs. Robert Shanks, and Mrs. Gordon Keating pinned the tiny emblem on the tunic of her son, Sgt. Alwyn Keating.

50 years ago, Friday, November 15, 1968 Ivan Traill, principal at NACI, has been elected president of the newly formed square dance club for Neepawa and area.

Mr. Traill has as his vicepresident Jim Finlayson, while secretary for the club is Stella Birnie. Pat Middlemas has been appointed to head the refreshment committee.

40 years ago, Thursday, November 9, 1978 With two calls dialed direct from Shilo to West Germany, customer dialling to 27 countries from nine Westman communities was inaugurated November 1.

During a ceremony at Canadian Forces Base Shilo, base commander Col. C.R. Simmonds spoke to Col. Tony Sosnkowski, Canadian Forces attache in Bonn, while West German Forces commander Lt.-Col. Klaus Pietscher called Lt.Gen. Hildebrandt, Chief of Staff of the Germany Army, also in Bonn.

T he new c u stomer dialing service now enables customers in Boissevain, B r a n d o n , C a r b e r r y, K illarney, Minnedosa, Neepawa, Russell, Shilo and Souris to dial their own calls to 27 countries.

According to Oz Pedde, MTS General Regional M a n a g er-We st er n , customers need only dial an access code, the country and city routing codes and the local telephone number.

The 27 countries which can be reached in this way are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel,

Neepawa Farmers off to a hot start

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

It’s been a tremendous start to the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) regular season for the Neepawa Farmers. The club has won its first three games of the year, including a dramatic 4-3 overtime victory over the Minnedosa Bombers at the Farmers’ home opener on Sunday, Nov. 4.

Minnedosa would take control early in the game, scoring the lone goal in the first period off the blade of Ryan Heino. Then early in the second, Matt Saler put away his third goal of the season to make it 2-0.

A few minutes later, the Farmers bounced back with a pair of goals from Ward Szucki in quick succession. He scored twice within a 35-second span at the mid-point of the period with linemates Matt Lowry and Shayne Wiebe assisting on both.

A late game comeback In the third period, a fight between Lowry and Minnedosa’s Wyatt Rapsky sidelined both players for the rest of the game with fighting majors and game misconducts.

Minnedosa would then retake the lead with just over ten minutes left in

Ward Szucki scores his third goal of the night with just 42 seconds remaining in the third period, sending the game into overtime.

regulation, with Derek Cameron jumping on a rebound opportunity.

A late-game penalty to Minnedosa provided a man advantage to Neepawa in the final minute of the third period. With the goaltender pulled for another extra attacker, Szucki would tie the game by snapping a shot into the back of the Bombers’ net with just 42 seconds left in the game. That was his third goal of the night.

For the three-on-three session, it ended early, as Kyle McDonald tallied the winner only 1:16 into overtime. Nolan Speiss and Reigan Buchanan assisted on the game-winner.

The victory improved Neepawa’s record to 3-0-0

on the year, while Minnedosa now stands at 1-2-1, having claimed an 8-4 win over MacGregor the previous night for their home opener.

Gladstone begins title defense Elsewhere around the league, the defending THHL champs, the Glad-

stone Lakers opened up their schedule on Friday, Nov. 2 with an impressive 10-5 win over Cartwright.

Jesse Toth (2 goals - 4 assists) and Sean Kubas (0G-5A) led the way for the Lakers points-wise, though Tyler Morwick was close behind on the stat-sheet with three goals and one assist.

Obituary Hilda Jean Snell Hilda was born in Montreal, QC, June 17, 1947 to Frank and Jennie Theobald (nee North). She is survived by a sister, Frances Groleau, and two nieces Nathalie and Vanessa who continue to live around the Montreal area. Frank served with the Canadian Armed Forces during the Second World War in France, Italy and Holland. After the war he worked for the railway delivering packages.

He died at an early age when he slipped on some ice.

Jennie served as a sergeant in the Black Watch during the war and volunteered at Defense Industries Limited, Montreal, to manufacture 9mm ammunition for the troops.

Jennie later worked at Montreal General Hospital where she did housekeeping for the doctor’s offices to support her family. She passed in 2008.

Hilda went to an all girls school where she completed her high school education. She was married at an early age and had two boys Ian and Kevin. She was divorced from her marriage. The boys do not keep in contact. Ed and Hilda met at a friend’s house near Toronto. Ed was fixing the friend’s TV and she thought he was the TV repair man. Their friendship and relationship grew over time.

They loved to share the out-of-doors and all the wildlife it had to offer. They hunted and fished together and enjoyed the reclusive atmosphere of northern Ontario as an escape from the hustle and bustle of big city Toronto.

They were married on September 30, 1989 at the Holiday Inn Yorkdale, Toronto. There were actually three ladies from Gladstone who attended the wedding. Hilda was given away by her uncle and Ed’s brother Jim was the best man. The toast to the bride became roast the bride.

Ed stated that, “a little of the west had rubbed off on his bride in that she had become quite skilled at corralling the dust bunnies and keeping them all under the bed.” It was quite a party.

Ed and Hilda retired to Gladstone in 2001 from Toronto.

They soon became involved in Gladstone Access TV. Hilda started her own weekly program called Talk About Town where she interviewed various people of broad community interest. During the Provincial Election she prepared questions for the local candidates and then interviewed them individually for Access TV. Hilda joined the Gladstone Legion Ladies Auxiliary and became president. She became the Zone Commander and went to Convention to represent her members. When the Gladstone Auxiliary closed, Hilda joined the Plumas Legion Ladies Auxiliary. She always said her service to the Auxiliary was in honour of her father’s service during the war.

Hilda had a very outgoing and comforting personality.

She loved meeting new people and within minutes they would be telling her their life story. She was always excited about attending Legion Convention to renew acquaintances and meet new like minded members.

Hilda passed away at the Seven Regions Hospital in Gladstone on November 01, 2018. Her earthly vessel is empty now, but the many fond memories of her continue.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the local Cancer Care program.

Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, November 16, 2018 at 2pm at the Gladstone Legion Club Room.

NACI Tigers outlast Crocus Plains

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

A pair of goals from forward Ben Rainka helped to power the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Tigers to a 5-4 win over the Crocus Plainsmen on Saturday, Nov. 3. Tyler Gibson, Cody Lamb and Bryan Todoruk also scored for NACI, while goaltender Myles Brister picked up the win between the pipes.

The game itself was a penalty-filled affair, as Crocus was assessed 57 minutes in total penalties, while NACI accumulated 54 minutes in the sin bin. As the game progressed, both teams started to get a little more chippy out on the ice. That, combined with the official calling a tight

game, led to some frustration on both benches. The majority of the third period featured multiple players from both teams inside the penalty box at the same time.

Late in the game, things truly boiled over with a few potentially questionable hits from each team. Fortunately, there were no fights either on the ice or in the stands, as a few parents voiced their displeasure for what had transpired.

Next up for NACI are a pair of games against the Killarney/ Wawanesa Raiders (2-0-0). The first game will be on Friday, Nov. 9 in Killarney. That will be followed up with another meeting on Nov. 11 at the Yellowhead Arena. Start time for that game is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.

Travel issues arise for Neepawa Natives

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

In more ways than one, the road has not been all that hospitable to the Neepawa Natives so far this season. To go along with a 0-8-0 record in games away from the Yellowhead Centre, the junior “A” club has found itself dealing with transportation issues on multiple occasions.

The Banner & Press was alerted to the first incident back in late September during a scheduled road game to Waywayseecappo.

The regionally based bus company through which the hockey club charters its vehicle had a mechanical breakdown. The company’s backup bus also had technical issues on that day and was unavailable. Alternative arrangements had to be made to ensure the team made it to Waywayseecappo.

The Banner & Press was then alerted to a second incident that happened on Oct. 31, when the chartered bus was once again unavailable to transport the players and equipment to their game in Virden. A last minute caravan of privately owned vehicles had to be organized and used to ensure the team was able to make it on time.

On Tuesday, Nov. 1, the Banner & Press contacted several representatives with the Neepawa Natives via email and asked for an update on the situation.

Team president Ken Waddell replied to the request with a written statement confirming that the team has had to make alternate travel arrangements on

four separate occasions this year.

“On two occasions an alternate bus was brought in. On two [other] occasions, the breakdowns happened just ahead of departure time and so private travel arrangements had to be made. It is essential that all efforts be made to avoid these kinds of issues. The team is actively working to solve these issues as comfortable, safe transportation is a high priority for the hockey club,” said Waddell.

On Nov. 7, just before the Banner & Press publication deadline, the hockey team announced it had reached an agreement with Brandon Bus Lines for its travel arrangements for remainder of the 2018-19 MJHL season. The team thanked the players and families for their patience while they worked their way through recent travel disruptions that were beyond the team’s control.

The club’s next road game is set for Sunday, Nov. 11 in Winnipeg.

This is the first time in several years the Neepawa Natives have needed to charter a bus. Late in the 2017-2018 season, the team owned bus, which has dealt with mechanical issues in the past, broke down to the point where repairing it was not cost-effective to the organization. The Board of Directors voted to use a charter bus service and to also implement a new travel fee for the 2018-2019 MJHL season. In a media release discussing the decision, the board indicated that the money will be used to help cover bus costs, road meals and motel accommodation when it is needed.

Home Improvement 2018 Make the most of your home improvement dollars

Submitted Metro Creative Connection Home improvement projects provide homeowners with a chance to put their own stamp on their homes.

In addition, many such projects make homes safer and, in some instances, more eco-friendly.

The opportunity to make a home more comfortable, safer and/or more eco-friendly entices many homeowners to open their wallets.

In fact, the Home Improvement Research Institute estimates that the home improvement products market will grow by more than five per cent in 2019.

Homeowners might experience some sticker shock when researching home improvement projects or receiving estimates from contractors. But there are ways for budget-conscious homeowners to transform their homes and still make the most of their home improvement dollars. • Do your homework.

Homeowners who want to get the strongest return on investment can access the “Cost vs. Value Reportâ€? (www. remodeling.how.net) to see which home improvement projects are best suited for them. • Do some of the labour yourself.

Homeowners willing to swing a hammer also can stretch their home improvement dollars. For example, the home improvement resource This Old HouseÂŽ notes that homeowners willing to do their own demolition before the contractors arrive can save substantial amounts of money.

A professional contractor may charge $1,000 to demo a 200-square-foot deck, but This Old House estimates that homeowners who demo their own decks may spend only $450 (for the dumpster rental and parking permit). • Hire a consultant. The DIY movement is incredibly popular, no

Homeowners with DIY experience may be able to complete projects on their own with little consultation from professional contractors. Some contractors may not offer consulting services, however. The consultation route, which typically requires paying licensed contractors hourly fees to offer guidance, should only be considered by homeowners with legitimate DIY skills, for whom this option can be a great way to save money. • Schedule renovations during homeowner-friendly times of year.

Summer and fall tend to be contractors’ busy seasons, and homeowners will likely pay more for projects during this time of year. If possible, delay starting projects until right after the new year, when contractors aren’t so busy and might be more flexible with pricing.

Budget-conscious homeowners can employ various strategies to make the most of their home improvement dollars without sacrificing quality.

Tennis elbow, called lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain of the lateral elbow that is provoked by extending the wrist or fingers. It is the most common cause of elbow pain and is classified as an overuse injury of the forearm muscles. Pain originates at the insertion of the forearm muscle tendon at the lateral bony prominence, the lateral epicondyle, of the elbow. It is thought that micro-tears occur at the tendon-bone junction due to tendon breakdown and muscle weakening.

Research shows very little inflammation with tennis elbow. The injury is more mechanical in nature than inflammatory.

1. Overuse The most common cause of tennis elbow is repetitive strain. This can occur due to an acute or gradual cause. When a person performs many wrist extension over a short period of time, such as swinging a hammer all day shingling a roof, the tendon can have an acute overuse reaction and get injured at the elbow.

Secondly, a person can gradually injure the tendon insertion by creating prolonged irritation over days of work. This is common with jobs involving

2. Trauma The tendon can become acutely injured and painful when the lateral elbow is struck by blunt force trauma directly at the tendon insertion.

3. Weakness in the mechanical chain There is an old song that says: “the wrist bone is connected to the elbow bone, and the elbow bone is connected to the shoulder bone.....” There obviously isn’t an elbow bone, but the song tells us that everything is connected and everything works together. It is very common to see weakness in the shoulder girdle causing pain into the elbow.

It is important to have

stability and strength with coordinated movements involving the entire midback, neck, shoulder, and arm. Research shows that if the neck and mid back is not functioning at their optimal ranges, arm movements are compromised.

4. Neck dysfunction The lower nerves of the neck go down the arm to provide sensation, muscle control/strength, and reflexes. Sometimes when a nerve is irritated in the cervical spine, the pain radiates to the lateral elbow. This cause can mimic tennis elbow pain.

Another cause is the fact that decreased nerve flow to the muscle can cause weakening and therefore make you more susceptible to injury.

treatment directed to the cervical spine on 50 patients with lateral epicondylitis whose symptoms did not improve after four weeks of elbow treatment.

Cervical spine treatment included 1 or more of the following: cervical traction, mobilization, isometric cervical exercises, and ultrasonography and heat.

of cervical treatment, 43 patients (86%) experienced good or satisfactory relief of the elbow symptoms.

In the Nov. 2 edition of the Banner & Press, an error was made on our part in the B section, in which two Frank Campbells were labelled in the set of photos accompanying Lenda Jerome Campbell’s submitted article. The mislabelled brother, shown above, is Patrick Campbell.

“Sniper Earnest Attwood of the 45th Battalion, who was killed in action on November 6, 1917, was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. James Attwood, of Springhurst. Earnest Attwood did his bit for his King and Country, he being wounded twice previous to the fatal one, and went back for the third time. It is hard to realize that it is for the best even though “Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his friends.” Mr. Attwood has another son doing his bit in France and we all wish him success and a speedy return.

In the Community

“ I thought it would be nice to have their names live on”

Why did you choose to establish a family fund in your parents’ honour? My parents were always very community minded; my mom volunteers many, many hours with a variety of volunteer organizations and my dad helped a lot with baseball and hockey, including coaching. I thought it would be nice to have their names lives on.

– Kimberly Yerex Family funds are a great way to leave a lasting legacy and give back to the community.

BPCF says farewell to these communityminded individuals who recently passed away and chose to have donations made in their memory support the BPCF.

During the 24 Hour Giving Challenge, each $5 donation to the Community Fund will become $7, thanks to funding from the Winnipeg Foundation and the Manitoba Government.

Donations must be made that day, either at the Foundation office or online at www.endowmanitoba.ca.
