Not just a cannon, a cause to remember

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

This past Saturday, Sept. 8, the Neepawa L eg ion (# 23) he ld a rededication ceremony for it s lon g- s t a nd i n g 100 year old German cannon, officially making it a marked historical monument and memorial.

The cannon in question d ates ba c k to World War I, and is a 15-cm schwere Feldhaubitze 13 manufactured by Fried.

Krupp, and was captured by the tenth and fourteenth Battalions at Cagnicourt, France on Sept. 2, 1918.

The ceremony was lead

by Legion member Robert Ferguson and was attended by severa l veterans, political representatives, a nd memb er s of t he community.

Originally standing at the courthouse grounds, and recorded arriving in a Neepawa Press article dated Aug. 31, 1920, the cannon was later moved to the local Legion. Over the years, the cannon had deteriorated, which lead to Legion #23 members

“The deterioration of the cannon was to the point t hat we had to ma ke a dec ision. We

went out, mysel f a nd the committee, to the community and asked.

We had a resound ing answer that they wanted this preserved,” said Sydor in an interview with the Banner & Press. “So we got an estimated cost, we

received contr ibut ions from the community, as well as had individuals that gave both their time and resources and did not charge us to have this re-done.”

Sydor highlighted the significance of the canon’s

rededication, stating that it is “a memorial monument and a reminder to all of the sacrifices given by our veterans, by those who gave their ultimate”.

At the beginning of the evening Sydor noted the project’s theme, “We will restore, we will remember.

At the end of the evening, he said, I think we can now change the wording a little bit, we did restore and we did remember.

Hopefully the cannon will be a reminder to us of the sacrifice people made in WWI for another 100 years.”

“We do not wish to forget.

We want to remember.

They gave their ultimate so that we can live in harmony and peace not only in our country, but throughout the world,” Sydor relayed. “By the fact that we have established this and refurbished it, it allows other younger Canadians to understand, to remember.”

The cannon was able to avoid being repurposed, when the need for steel scrap arose during World War II like many other artifacts had, which Sydor believes is thanks not to luck, but to the will of the people in Neepawa who wished for it to be retained.

A nicely sized crowd was gathered for the re-dedication ceremony on Saturday, for which the rain thankfully was kept at bay until the very end. All seats were filled, and more people yet stood to watch as old letters were read, stories told, and thanks given to our veterans.

Evening events Following the dedication ceremony, the L eg ion hosted a fellowship hour with music provided by Ken Rogers and Leanne Harding. The lower hall was packed with members and guests and it was noted that Harding had been playing piano at Legion events for 50 years.

T he g at her i ng wa s treated to one of the Legion Auxiliary’s famous roast beef suppers complete with the head table being piped in and a number of dignitaries from CFB Shilo in attendance. The supper event and formal part of the evening was emceed by Robert Ferguson.

A history of the WWI

German Krupp cannon was reviewed in more detail than during the afternoon ceremonial dedication.

Committee chair Ernie Sydor and member Steve G oud ie noted at t he supper that after WWI, captured equipment was d istr ibuted across the country in recognition of the service by community members. A mong t he captured equipment was 45 cannons, 27 mortars and 225 machine guns. The Neepawa cannon arrived to only minor fanfare with a parade from the train station and sat for many years at the Beautiful Plains County Court building and then later at the Legion.

played on the cannon including current Legion president, Brent Hunter.

“Us kids played on it. A few years ago it was noted it was in pretty rough shape.

We (the Legion) had pretty much decided to give it away to Shilo and they wanted it to add to their collection but along came Ernie Sydor with a different idea.”

A reason to remember Sydor said “This isn’t just a cannon, it’s reason to remember. People from this area made the ultimate sacrifice to save our freedom. One hundred and twenty-three graves at Riverside Cemetery are

marked by white crosses.”

All 123 came from the community of Neepawa, and area, and died serving Canada.

Sydor, along with Goudie and Harvey Ebner and others went to work and presented the restoration project idea. Money came in fairly quick ly. Bert deKoning of Eden offered to sandblast the cannon and did so at no charge.

Jack Kulbacki did the the painting on the same terms.

Brian Reynolds of Rapid City was commissioned to rebuild the wooden spoke wheels. Sydor said, “The wheels are of an 1800’s design and Brian spent weeks learning wheelwright trade using naturally dried

Perception is what matters

bill proposed by the provincial government could result in a lot of unhappy Manitobans, just ask Neepawa residents. Earlier this year, the Manitoba government introduced Bill 8, The Government Notices Modernization Act. This bill would change the public advertising requirements related to 24 statutes. Instead of requiring notices be adver- MY tised in local PERSPECTIVE media outlets, the advertising would only need to occur in the Manitoba Gaz- Kate ette, the gov- Jackman-Atkinson ernment’s newspaper of record, which would now only be online and free to the public.

In theory, it sounds like a good idea. Advertising is expensive and the internet is free, but Neepawa council just found out how it works in practice. On March 20, council approved the sale of a parcel of undeveloped land at the south end of town for $20,000.

The property, which was already subdivided into four lots, had been maintained by neighbours and used as green space by area residents. For most neighbours, they only heard about the sale at the end of July, when the developer who purchased the land began landscaping to prepare for its redevelopment. And they were mad.

Area residents started a petition, which as of mid-August, had 45 signatures.

The Town has a policy for the sale of surplus municipally-owned land, which states that council may ask for proposals from at least three real estate agencies. The proposals are to include a recommended listing price, an evaluation of the property’s fair market value, as well as a listing agreement. The property is then to be listed publicly on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). In this case, the piece of property, along with others, was only listed by the Town on its website.

Though some area residents said they were told in the past that the land was set aside as green space, an official with the Town recently told the Banner & Press that the property has been for sale for over three decades. The Town has taken the stance that in this case, there was no need to have it officially listed through a realtor, an online posting was enough.

While some felt its sale price was too low, at the end of the day, area residents are most upset about the perceived lack of transparency.

The property was listed publicly, but to know about it, a prospective purchaser had to be specifically looking for lots to develop. Anyone who wasn’t specifically looking for this, didn’t know until it was too late. There was no secret deal and so it was, by definition, transparent, but it didn’t feel that way to those blindsided by the sale.

That’s the problem with advertisements that aren’t where someone can stumble upon them. Unless someone already knows about something, they’re very unlikely to go to the Manitoba Gazette and learn about changes that might have a very significant impact on themselves, their family, neighbourhood or business.

Notices should remain in newspapers or any other general interest location. Municipal newsletters, flyers distributed by post or in Neepawa’s case, a $5 “For Sale” sign, all provide the type of notice that matters to regular citizens. A lot of voters citizen signing petitions, writing letters to the editor and venting on social media isn’t what elected representatives want three months before an election and could have been easily avoided.

Notices are about people being notified of important policies and changes. If they weren’t deemed important, there would be no notice requirement. Putting notices online in the Manitoba Gazette meets the letter of the law when it comes to informing citizens, but is far from meeting its spirit. In the end, what really matters is whether people feel there has been proper notice. According to the residents in Neepawa’s south end, an online listing doesn’t feel that way.

Leading by serving

y high school did not have Peer Support Groups. We didn’t know what Gay- Stra ight Alliances were; nor did we really care. Religious labels meant nothing to us. We were just students; young men and women who shared a common goal—getting enough high school credits to graduate.

We studied together, we learned together, we participated in high school sports together, and we played pick-up games of football, scrub and basketball during our breaks. And if one of our number was going through hard times, we each did what we could to help him or her out; just as our parents did when tragedy hit any family in our community.

As I look back on those years, I can see how attitudes learned at home helped create a positive, caring and supportive atmosphere in our school.

Some of those attitudes are listed below.

First, you are a unique

C

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein creation of God, with a unique combination of skills and abilities and with a unique contribution that God wants you to make to the betterment of our world.

Second, you can’t do everything, but you can do something. With the help of others, learn what you do well and then do it to the best of your ability. But don’t stop there. Be honest about your weaknesses—about those things that you cannot do well—those areas in which you need help.

Third, we do our best work when we are part of a team. Good team members lead in areas where they are strong and follow the lead of others in areas where they are weak. By working together and capitalizing on the strengths of each person on the team, they can accomplish far more than

they could ever achieve by working alone.

Fou r t h , you a r e responsible for what you do with the time, talent and resources God has given you. Once you use any of them, what you have used is gone forever. It won’t come back. So be careful how you use those gifts. You will answer to God one day for what you have done.

Consistently applying t he s e pr i nc iple s w i l l radically change how we interact with people. Our world is filled with people who love to steal, kill and destroy. Huge profits are made each year by those who make weapons that allow us to steal more goods, conquer more land, kill more people, destroy more property and do it all faster than ever before. It only takes a moment to destroy

what others have built. It takes a lifetime to build a world in which every person is accepted, respected and free to achieve his or her God-given potential.

But that is what we have been called to do. And as people of faith, we are to take leading roles in building this world. But our leadership style is to be the exact opposite of what we see in government or business. Our task is not to tell people what they should do. Our task is to show them what to do and help them learn how to do it well.

We call this “servant leadership,” g iv ing up our desires for position, possessions and power and investing our time, talent and treasure in tasks that help others develop the skills they need to succeed in life. The best time, in my view, to learn these skills is when we are young. A public school that stresses the need for peer support and that encourages students to work together to achieve common goals will give them these skills and help them build a better world.

The noise in the car is either favourite CD’s- The Space Between Us, John O Donahue ( he could recite the alphabet and I would be enthralled with his accent!), I am a Sparrow, Alana Levandoski (captured my heart with a song that echoed my heart), or Celtic music, any Celtic music, or CBC. A n h o u r o f t r av e l was melted away by an interview with an artist that interviewed individuals in a garment factory in which her mother had once worked. It was voice-overs and interviews, captivating.

The artist’s mother had passed down an embroidery basket. My mind flitted to my mother’s embroidery basket. It was a smallish wicker basket with a lid.

The edges were trimmed with coloured ribbon. The entire basket was smoke stained, for it survived the fire that engulfed the home

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen of my childhood.

My mother embroidered pictures, detailed colourful wall hangings. Some of these now grace the walls of my sisters homes. One set was of beautiful birds, and they rested in ornate Victorian frames. One on each side of the window. Some of my mother’s handwork decorated pillow tops, tea towels, table clothes and pillowcases. As I matured I could see that she needed beauty and colour. And she created what she could out of what she had on hand. That embroidery basket was tidy, organised and compact. It had every colour imaginable and what a delight when variegated floss was introduced. When

I found the Sunday apron that her grandmother had created I understood even better the urges of genetics.

I have such a basket as well. Mine is a bit larger, no lid, and certainly not organized. It is a tangled mix of colours. Children and grandchildren have found the thread and needles they wanted to create with.

I have embroidered as well.

A hope chest set of tea towels – never been used!pictures of little bears busy at daily tasks- and a set of pictures that I worked on when my first two children were babes. They must be a bit okay, for when my niece visited this summer she wondered if they were her grandma’s handwork. One

is a picture of a peacock in front of a wrought iron gate, and the other of the garden around a thatched roof cottage. These two have always hung in my hallway, high on the second level at the acreage, and now just outside my bedroom door.

I am amazed that I had the patience to embroider pictures; the time was how I spent the late evenings after the household was quiet.

I am always amazed at how words can trigger memories. It is seldom that I ref lect on all the creat ive handwork my mother mastered. She could sew, embroider, knit – countless Mary Maxim sweaters for the family and the neighbourhoodcrochet, applique, and make the patterns for what she wanted. She made any of the Christmas decorations for the home and the tree, and anything else she could think of! I saw the threads that run through generations.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin

I

t is an amazing site to see the leaves on the trees change its color and fall on the ground. Once I tried to count the many different shades of green and yellow. It means that the season is really changing. It is September, schools have started up, extra weekly programs are starting up again and families with children are back into their daily routine. Even last week the first frost ruined quite a few gardens here. The harvest is in full swing with the nice weather that we have had so far.

I’ve heard the chickadees in the trees. They are telling us that winter is not far away.

Now is the time also to start up fall programs in the churches in the Valley. How about our daily routine to enrich our spiritual outlook on life. The Bible tells us in the Old Testament already to study the Bible daily (Joshua 1:8). It will keep us strong, gives us peace and joy to live each day to the fullest.

One Bible verse a day will keep us in touch with God.

Letters

Best coverage?

This letter is to complain about a phone company ‘Telus’. Telus says they have the best coverage in Manitoba. That is a lie. They use existing towers that are already in use by other phone companies. And, if people don’t have service with their phones now, they won’t with Telus. I made the mistake of believing Telus and signed up with them. I have absolutely no better service than before. I have a cousin that lives just north of Langruth and he has no cell service in his yard. I was up there recently and I had no service in his yard either.

So Telus is lying.

Another thing they didn’t tell me when I signed up was that they are long distance from Gladstone to Portage. I’m in the Gladstone area and every time I make a call to anyone in Gladstone its a long distance charge.

I have a Portage cell number and a lot of people have Portage cell numbers, but since we live in the Gladstone area, every call is long distance charge. Even if I call my brother or sister-in-law it’s long distance and long distance charges apply.

But like I said earlier. Telus has no better coverage than any other phone company because they use the same cell towers, so Telus is lying.

Heated rivals!

Earthquake or evil plot? No one is sure While questions surrounding the whereabouts of A.J. Fryerson dominated conversation in the Valley, the routine of daily life forged ahead. With no election or fire-breathing radio host to supply fodder for the town’s rumor mill, cooler temperatures served as a reminder summer was past and, hopefully, a calming breeze would soon take its place.

Autumn traditions were plentiful in the Valley. As the ladies of the Auburn Hat Society busily made plans for the upcoming fall festival, anticipation surrounding the impending weekly bowling league added to the excitement of the season.

Our small town didn’t have a lot of opportunity to excel in the arena of athletics. Ever since Valley High merged with West Central to form Central Valley High School, there’s not been a lot to root for in my hometown. Sure, we had our elementary school kickball team and the church softball league, but no sporting event brought as much excitement as fall bowling.

The adults never wanted to answer our questions about it, but every teenager in the Valley had heard rumors concerning the huge fight that took place years earlier at a league game between the Valley King Pins and the Pleasant Hill Strike Force.

The story took on epic form over time. As did other groups of local youth, my friends and I would share each tidbit we could piece together concerning “The Legend of King Pin Alley.” There were many different versions of the story, each attempting to one-up the others.

Some included wacky stories of UFOs, knife fights or an earthquake.

All included some narrative where

TAYLOR LAW OFFICE

269 Hamilton Street

Elbert Lee Jones, a couple of decades younger and sprier, had heated words with at least two members of the Strike Force squad.

My group of friends stuck with what we knew for certain. There was a game between the two teams.

Whether caused by an earthquake, as some believed, a wind blowing through a back door, or some other natural cause, the game-winning pin fell to the floor in a mysterious manner, giving Pleasant Hill the victory and Elbert Lee more than he could take.

Jones, convinced some “homecooked shenanigans” were to blame, responded in a way none of our parents would share with their innocent children. It was years later before I knew the real story behind the legend.

While Marvin Walsh served as guest host of “Renderings with Raymond” (he continued to use the show’s original name in honor of his fallen comrade) on Thursday, he reminded his listeners the Pleasant Hill “Strut Force,” as he liked to call them, would be facing the King Pins on Saturday at 6 p.m.

It would be the first meeting between the two teams, he reminded his listeners, since the “incident” 20 years earlier. That was as much as he had to say about the legend.

As the Auburn Hat Society met to finalize plans for the festival, just two

weeks away, they listened while Marvin urged loyal citizens to make their way to Valley Lanes to watch our beloved King Pins take on the Strike Force in the two center lanes.

The remaining two lanes, he reminded listeners, would be shut down during the contest.

Helen Walker was the first to speak up concerning the upcoming bowling match.

“I wonder,” she said in her gentle voice, “who will take A.J.’s place on the team.”

“Well, Earl thinks,” Rhonda Goodman chimed in, “A.J. is hiding and will show up as a last-minute surprise just before the game begins.”

“Heavens,” whispered Vera Pinrod, just loud enough for everyone to hear. “That’s a lot of trouble just to surprise the other team.”

“Yes,” answered Rhonda, “but remember what happened last time.”

It was agreed to turn off the radio and discuss other matters.

“I think we all agree that the ‘turned cider’ incident should never happen again,” Vera said loudly.

“I suppose,” answered Becky Jane Geary, “but it sure livened up the bobbing for apples.”

As Vera discussed cider and Marvin railed against the conniving Strike Force, Iris Long sipped coffee alone at the Hoff brau.

Filling Iris’s cup, Jessie asked, “What do you think happened to A.J.?”

“I wish I knew,” answered Iris. “I really wish I knew.”

Rural Outlook

SEPTEMBER 14, 2018

School Board elections are coming Submitted BPSD It’s an election year for all municipalities in Manitoba. Every four years we get to change or confirm the people who speak for us at the local level. We elect mayors and reeves, we elect councillors, and we elect school board trustees.

You probably have a good idea what a mayor or a reeve does. You probably know a councillor or two, and you know the things they deal with from day to day, and you may even have an idea how much those things can cost. You pick your representatives to set priorities and watch over your taxes with care and caution, and to understand what you need and what you can afford.

A re you as well informed about what your school trustees oversee?

Your schools are trying to prepare your children for a life in that world; a world that for sure none of us have ever experienced. The whole nature of education is undergoing re-evaluation and change.

Teachers who were trained in an older world are facing the challenge of preparing their charges (and themselves) for this new one.

Technology has gone so far beyond the blackboard and even the textbook that you need specialized training just to create a lesson plan.

School is now a place where each individual student can be given health care (both physical and mental), nutrition (likewise) and a place to feel that (s)he belongs and is safe. In a world where most families rely on the work of both parents, the school is very likely the place that takes up most of a child’s time, and has the most effect on his/her development as a citizen. If we don’t get it right, we will see a terrible cost in lives lost to crime, addictions, and the depression and desperation that comes of finding yourself fallen too far behind. It used to be that if you were without skills you learned in school, there were still three quarters of the job market that you could fill.

Now, if you are unskilled

and inexperienced there is barely one job in ten, and it almost certainly won’t sustain a family.

Your school board has the very challenging job and to do it under the constraints of a cost conscious government, and a taxpaying public that doesn’t need tax increases, even if they surely want the best for their kids.

In Manitoba we still have local control over taxation; in most other provinces, the taxation is centralized, and the budgets of the schools are overseen by the central provincial government. It’s an open question whether central control would save any money at all, and because the costs of education will remain, and there won’t be a rise in income tax or sales tax large enough, you can be sure there will still be an education component on property tax. As it is now, we can tailor our taxing and our spending to the needs we see in our division. It’s quite a privilege.

If you would like to offer yourself as a trustee, you can visit the office of the School Division at 213 Mountain Avenue in Neepawa, and pick up nomination papers. They must be returned by the end of business on Sept.18.

Whether or not you consider running, remember it is really important to vote on Oct. 24 — local control of school boards is under review as Education gets restructured. The loss would mean that all decisions about our children’s education would be made in the capital — a questionable efficiency. Vote to show you care.

From the field to the glass Farmery Estate Brewery involved in Open Farm Day

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

On a hot summer day, while enjoying an ice cold beer, have you ever stopped to ask yourself ‘How did this get from the field to the glass?’ If you have, Farmery Estate Brewery in Neepawa has the answers you were looking for this weekend.

Farmery is one of 42 venues across Manitoba who are involved with the 15th annual Open Farm Day, set for Sunday, Sept. 16.

The event is organized by the Manitoba Association of Agricultural Societies and will offer the public a chance to see just how their foods, or in this case, beverages are made.

Dozens of farms across the province will provide activities and educational tours of their operations.

Chris Warwaruk, one of the founders of Farmery Estate Brewery, said that while their business has participated in Open Farm Day in previous years, this year’s involvement will be much more in-depth.

“For the last couple of years, we’ve been involved.

This year though, we’ll be participating in a bigger way, because we actually have the brewery to give tours and stuff like that.

So now, it’ll be one of the destinations of the circuit for Open Farm Day,” noted Warwaruk. “We provided open tours last year on Sunday, but [this year] it’ll be much more extensive.”

Warwaruk said part of Open Farm Day will also include access to the hop yards. He noted this is actually the perfect time for this event to happen, as they are in the middle of the hop harvest.

Farmery Estate Brewery has also timed a fundraiser to coincide with Open Farm Day, as it has partnered with Brandon’s East 40 Packers to make Farmery Harvest Smokies. These smokies have been made from steers purchased through several local 4-H auctions.

Farmery will use its BBQ smoker at the brewery to cook them and 50 percent of the proceeds raised from those smokies will be split between the Neepawa,

Rapid City and Erickson 4-H Beef Clubs.

War war uk sa id t h is fundraising ef fort will start Friday and continue through to the Open Farm Day on Sunday. “ We’re going to be specifically targeting the Farmery barbecue smokie fundraiser for the 4-H Beef Clubs throughout the weekend. It’ll be dedicated

to the local beef clubs, that’s unique for this year and it’s something we’re passionate about. Supporting local clubs like this is important.”

It’s important to note that while the smok ie fundraiser will take place all weekend, starting on Friday, Sept. 14; the Open Farm Day tours are only occurring on Sunday, Sept.

16. Warwaruk said they are expecting and prepared to be very busy. He added that they are hoping people will come out and check behind the scenes and support these worthy local groups at the same time.

Expanded information on the Open Farm Day can be located online at www. openfarmday.ca.

Siatecki recently returned from a ver y intensive management seminar, Banff, Alberta. The threeweek seminar, Aug. 31 to Sept. 1, was the first ever in Canada, the only other in North America taking place at Harvard University.

Mrs. Siatecki, the only rural community representative in a class of 30, she learned techniques on how to be a better manager, how to run an organization more smoothly and there was also discussion about union and labour relations. Mrs. Siatecki received a $1,500 scholarship for the course from three sources: $500 from Viscount Centre and the Holiday Festival Committee, $500 from Manitoba’s Department of Tourism, Recreation and Culture and $500 from the

Banff Scholarship Fund, which receives assistance from the Canada Council organization.

Neepawa to hold 38th annual Terry Fox Run

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

Thirty-eight years ago, Terry Fox ran an average of 26 miles a day for 143 days for his Marathon of Hope, running across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Fox was inspired to run the marathon after he lost his leg to bone cancer when he was only 18, having been so affected by the suffering of other cancer patients. Unfortunately, the runner was unable to complete his marathon, having to stop just outside Thunder Bay, Ont., on Sept. 1 when the disease appeared in his

18092MB0

lungs. He died in the June of 1981.

Today, we hold the Terry Fox Run in his honour, carrying on his dream of finding a cure for cancer.

The run is held in over 1,000 communities across Canada and in 58 countries around the world, with funds raised going towards helping scientists find the secrets behind the early detection, treatment and cure for all cancers. More than $700 million has been raised globally in Fox’s name, leading to dramatically increased survival from cancer of all types. Last year, Neepawa raised $7,000.

The Terry Fox Run has become an annual tradition for families, whether they walk, bike, or run.

This year’s Terry Fox Run for Neepawa will take place on Sunday, Sept. 16, at the NACI track. Registry will start at 1:30 p.m., with the

run starting at 2 p.m. The event is expected to run until 5 p.m. Runners will follow a route through town to the Dairy Queen, where ice

cream is available, and back to the track. There is no minimum donation value, and participants are welcome to walk, run, or ride.

Organizer Kelly Kryzaniak has stated that refreshments and cookies will be available, as well as a chance to win a Terry Fox related prize that was donated by the local Harris Pharmacy and Gill and Schmall. Kryzaniak shared her thoughts on the event, and her hopes for this year.

“It is a wonderful family event to celebrate one of the greatest Canadians and raise money for cancer research,” said Kryzaniak.

“As a small town, Neepawa has been very supportive in the past and we hope to continue this in 2018.”

The event organizer also elaborated that the Terry Fox run is one of the best, if not the best, in terms of percentage of fundraising dollars which goes directly towards the cause with over 82 cents of every dollar raised is spent specifically in the research field itself. The Terry Fox Run is volunteer driven, and has no commercial sponsors as per Fox’s wishes. Kryzaniak describes it as a “truly grassroots Canadian event”.

Strong support for fitness fundraiser 50 participants raised over $1,104 from the event

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press Exercise buffs in Neepawa recently sweated it out for a worthy cause. Nearly 50 people participated in the Whitey’s Fitness and Body Shop barbell workout/ fundraiser on Monday, Sept. 3. The event was put together to support Lindylou Escabarte, who has been combating breast cancer.

The participants were asked to supply a donation of $10 to support the cause and then allowed to take part in the circuit training and yoga program that were organized for the day. Several local businesses also donated products that were raffled off.

Sherrie Hockin, owner and personal trainer at Whitey’s Fitness Body Shop, said that plans were already in the works for Whitey’s to do some type of workout oriented fundraiser. She noted that after they learned of Lindylou’s plight, they knew this was the one that they wanted to support.

“When we heard of Lindylou’s situation on Facebook, through a GoFundMe

account, which was set up by a friend or relative of Lindylou. We knew it was exactly what we wanted to assist with.

Talking with a lot of the club members about [the fundraiser], they were very supportive and indicated that they’d like to get involved. From there, it just took on a life of its own. Then, Michelle Gerrard [of Home Hardware] offered a few items as prizes and Chelsea Henry of Minnedosa offered to teach a yoga class as part of this.

The amount of support just starting to snowball from there. Neepawa Golf and Country Club, Safeway, New Hope Health and Embark Fitness, out of Brandon also came forward to donate.”

The combinations of individual and business donations allowed the event to bring in $1,104. Hockin said that figure greatly exceeded their expectations.

“The amount of support that this brought in was fantastic. It was a bit unexpected as well. We knew there would be some solid support for the event, but to have that amount of people involved and so many businesses offer their support, it was just amazing,” stated Hockin.

Damage on the diamonds

Lori Brooking sent us some interesting pictures showing Art Gibson and friends utilizing a combination of some older methods and newer ones. Although loading manure from the corral was done with a tractor and loader, the spreading was done with a horse drawn, ground drive spreader. The top photo shows a picture postcard view of the horse drawn spreaders in action and the bottom photo shows the team of horses hitched to the spreader patiently waiting for their next load.

Sometime within the past week, tire tracks were found in the outfield of ball diamond #1 at the Neepawa Ag Grounds. Extensive damage was caused to the field, which is cared for by a group of local volunteers.

Pre-season continues for Neepawa Natives

Sports

NACI Tigers win RMFL season opener

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

By Eoin Devereux

The exhibition schedule is nearly finished for the Neepawa Natives. As of the Banner & Press publication deadline of Wednesday Sept. 12, the MJHL club had played four of their six pre-season contests. The team was 2-2-0 in those games, defeating Waywayseecappo and Portage, but losing a pair to Winker.

Neepawa’s first game was on Sept. 4 and saw them lose in Winkler 3-0.

The Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Tigers have hit the ground running, both literally and figuratively to start the Rural Manitoba Football League season. The Tigers accumulated 255 yards rushing and three touchdowns on Friday, Sept. 7, on the way to a 44-6 win over the Southwest (Souris) Sabres.

The combinat ion of Tanner Mann and Taine Middleton lead the way with 86 and 85 yards rushing respectively. Each player also added a rushing touchdown. Teammates Connor Kasprick and Jayvee Posadas also contributed with 44 and 40 yard rushing efforts, with Posadas collecting the third touchdown on the ground.

While the ground game lead the way offensively, NACI’s passing numbers were still solid, as Mann went 4-for-10 in the air, for 107 yards and three passing touchdowns. The receivers on those scores were Burke Erickson, Ryan Belisle and Jayvee Posadas.

Neepawa 5-4 Waywayseecappo Three goals late in the third period powered the Neepawa Natives to the 5-4 win over Waywayseecappo.

New arrivals Jordan Rogers, Clay Ellerbrock and Nathan Driver all scored in the final 10:53 of regulation to secure the victory. Bradley Marshall and Brady Whitely scored in the second period for Neepawa.

Neepawa 6-5 OT Portage It was another late game comeback for Neepawa on the way to a 6-5 win in overtime over the Portage Terriers on Saturday, Sept. 8. Trailing 5-3 with 11:54 left in regulation, Bradley Marshall scored twice on a pair of power-play chances to send the game into OT. Michael Boutoussov then notched the game winner, to go along with three assists.

Winkler 1-0 Neepawa The first home game of the preseason for the Neepawa Natives did not go as planned, as the team was blanked by the Winkler Flyers 1-0. The lone goal of the game came of the blade off Jayden McCarthy just 3:16 into the opening period. That was a power-play goal for the Flyers.

While Neepawa would put the pressure on Winkler goaltender Aaron Brunn throughout the rest of the game, they were unable to find the back of the net.

Brunn closed out the night with 30 saves.

The loss dropped Neepawa’s preseason record to 2-20, with two game remaining. The first of that pair was played Wednesday, Sept 12 against Waywayseecappo.

The results of that contest were unavailable before the Banner & Press publication deadline. Neepawa’s final preseason tilt will take place on Saturday, Sept. 15, when the team hosts the Portage Terriers. Game time at the Yellowhead Centre is set for 7:30 p.m.

Bend, don’t break defence On the other side of the

ball, the NACI Tigers came up clutch when it mattered, with three quarterback sacks and three fumble recoveries. Rylan Hollier and Lucas Keller lead the team with 12 and 10 tackles apiece. Hollier also added a sack to his overall stat-line.

Other standouts included Lucas Keller (10 tackles), Colter Birnie (7 tackles - 1 sack) and Rory Cathcart (2 fumbles recoveries).

Still room to improve For first year head coach Chidi Small, it was a solid start to the regular season, though he does note that this team is capable of even better.

“My overall assessment was that we were relatively average out there. Early on, we didn’t execute as well as I think that we could, though I thought we bounced back and had the right mentality in the second half. Overall there is a lot that we can improve on,” said Small.

“I think early on [in the game], it was just that they were chomping at the bit to get out there and play. As the game progressed, they settled down and focused on playing more disciplined.

This team has a lot of skill and if they remained focused, are capable of

A hip strap is great with larger packs to help distribute the weight off the shoulders and onto the hips.

Parade, tailgate party set for Natives home opener

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

It’ll be a celebration that’s been three decades in the making for the Neepawa Natives. On Saturday Sept. 22, the Junior “A” club will be kicking off their MJHL regular season home opener in style, with a parade and tailgate party. The festivities are a part of the team’s commemoration of their 30th year of operation.

Neepawa Natives board member Bill Syrik said that the organization wanted to do something different for their year 30 celebration.

“2018 is a special year for the Neepawa Natives as it’s their [30th year], and this deserves to be a memorable year not just for the players, but for the whole town to celebrate,” said Syrik.

Robby Moar, the team’s marketing director agreed with Syrik’s statement, adding that they hope to make the entire day something to remember.

“I love the parade idea and bringing the community together”. Even one of the players was overheard on the team bus saying it’ll be awesome, and help get them fired up for a great start to the season. With so many reasons to celebrate including the team’s season

home opening game, a live band performance during the pregame tailgate party, this is promising to be a Sat-urday evening to remember.”

The schedule for the festivities will see the parade start at 5:00 p.m. It’ll go from the Town of Neepawa Administration office to the Yellowhead Centre and feature the players of the Neepawa Natives. Then at 5:30 p.m., the tailgate party and live entertainment will get underway. Music will be provided by Sensessions.

The doors will open at the Yellowhead Centre at 6:30 p.m., with the opening face-off versus the Winkler Flyers set for 7:30 p.m.

closures as they are not as durable as zippers.

Back to school is a wonderful time of the year for kids, and often parents too! Purchase a safe back pack for your child, don’t let them pack it too heavy, and adjust the straps to get the correct fit for them. All of this will prevent extra unwanted stress on their spine and muscles.

Activity Fact: According to the British Journal of Pain,

studies have shown that the prevalence of low back pain in schoolchildren ranges from 25 per cent to 55 per cent in those aged between 10 and 15 years.

Ron was raised in the house where his Mother was born. He was a hard worker on the farm where there were cows to be milked, chickens and cattle fed. They farmed a half section of land and with a low water table there was no running water at times they had to haul water from Brookdale for the animals. An accident with a baler in 1965 resulted in Ron losing part of his left hand.

Growing up Ron loved sports as a participant & spectator – running, broomball, skating, hockey, baseball etc. He attended Church & Sunday School at Gordon United Church.

At 45 Ron started his second life following Dad’s passing.

After a short stay in Swan River he moved to Victor House in Brandon for a life skills training program. Soon after completion of this program he moved to Minnedosa.

He embraced life in the Community & he thrived here.

He worked job training projects with Rolling River School Division and at the Care Home, working with the maintenance departments, he then worked sorting the recycling at Newdale until mandatory retirement at 65. He also mowed grass and shovelled snow at many residences in the community.

For many years he lived with Allison and her family where he became part of this Church family and enjoyed his time walking the dog, working in the yard and participating in the family’s activities.

Ron was well known at the Minnedosa Bomber games, acting as “water boy” for many seasons. He could be seen whizzing down the street on his bike.

Ron loved to go for coffee, tell stories, eat & travel. He took bus tours to many locations in Canada and the US bringing home pictures, stories & souvenir tee shirts. He loved visiting his sister’s family and his cousins. Ron liked to read and pored over his daily Brandon Sun until last spring.

In retirement Ron moved into Townview Manor where he enjoyed the socialization and Congregate meals. As he aged he required increasing support. He enjoyed going for drives, coffee & shopping with his support workers.

With their assistance and Home Care he was able to maintain independent living until the spring of 2014 when he moved in the Minnedosa Personal Care Home. He enjoyed the activities and outing as a resident there.

Ron was predeceased by his parents Lillian (1963) and Bert (1985), 2 siblings in infancy, grandparents Richard & Sarah Reilly and Isaac & Rosa Kerr.

MACKENZIE, Jack

Norman John “Jack” MacKenzie, S.O.M., of Regina, SK, passed away peacefully with family at his side on Wednesday, August 22, 2018, at Regina Wascana Grace Hospice, at the age of 90 years. He was predeceased by parents, Robert (Bert) and Olga (née Lalier); brothers, Bob, Keith, and Glen; and sisters-in-law, Sally and Bev. Jack is survived by and will be deeply missed by sisters-in-law, Barb and Marion; and nieces and nephews, Wendy, Laurie (Abbie Deacon), Dale (Susan), Jeff (Nicki), R.J. (Ruth), Susan (Don Pohl), Blake (Ericka), and Nicole Cunningham (John); as well as numerous great and great-great nieces and nephews, extended family, cherished companion, Mayvis Goranson, and steadfast caregiver and honorary niece, Krista Christensen. Also mourning are staff, students, and parents – past and present – of Jack MacKenzie School, as well as many others whose lives he affected.

Jack was born October 2, 1927, in Neepawa, Manitoba, the second of four boys. He was raised in Manitoba, spending his early years in Franklin, and after a one-year move to Roblin, the family settled in Gladstone, in 1938.

After graduating from Gladstone Collegiate, Jack went on to earn multiple Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Universities of Manitoba, Toronto and Michigan State. In 2015, the University of Regina awarded him with an honorary doctorate, Doctor of Laws honoris causa (LLD).

In 1953, Jack’s teaching career began in Swan River and then Brandon. In 1956, he accepted a position with the Regina Public School Board as Supervisor of Physical Education, and Regina became his home. In 1969, he was promoted to Coordinator of Fitness and Community Resources. After having provided 31 years of leadership and inspiration, Jack retired in 1987.

On September 19, 2000, Jack MacKenzie Elementary School was opened, with the motto, “Where Effort and Kindness Count”. With the school as his new passion, Jack commissioned a bronze sculpture for the school entrance.

He also established a trust fund for supporting Regina Public School student volunteer projects focused on acts of kindness or environmental issues.

Jack created a partnership program between Jack MacKenzie School and the University of Regina and provided leadership as President, Chair or Founder of seven different organizations, related to camping, canoeing, outdoor and physical education, and history. This included Saskairie, an outdoor education centre he co-founded, in the Moose Mountain area, where he also kept beehives and made and

shared the honey produced. Jack was also the recipient of several awards, including the prestigious Saskatchewan Order of Merit (S.O.M.) Jack was an Honorary Brother of Stanley Mission Cree Nation, Lac La Ronge Indian Band. He assisted in setting up the Northern Lights Fishing Lodge, and he made several documentary films with NFB and Discovery Channel. Jack travelled widely and was devoted to education, his wide network of friends, and family, throughout his life.

Jack was a family cornerstone; for his parents, brothers, and the two generations that followed. He was the MacKenzie family genealogist, tracking the clan from Golspie, Scotland, to North America. Uncle Jack was the glue in the extended MacKenzie family, staying connected and organizing family reunions. We will miss him incredibly.

The family would like to thank Uncle Jack’s countless friends, the students, staff, and parents of Jack MacKenzie School, staff of the RGH Dialysis Unit, College Park Retirement Residence, Pasqua Hospital Palliative Care, and William Booth Grace Hospice for all their care and support of our Uncle. Special thanks to Krista Christensen for all her selfless and steadfast care.

A Celebration of Jack's Life was held at Resurrection Parish, 3155 Windsor Park Road, Regina, SK on Monday, September 10, 2018 at 6:45 p.m. with Pastor Cameron Fraser of Knox-Metropolitan United Church officiating.

A reception followed the service, across the street at his beloved Jack MacKenzie School. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations to the Random Acts of Kindness Fund are greatly encouraged and appreciated. Donations may be made payable to “Strategic Charitable Giving Foundation” and can be sent to Louise Squire at Investors Group, 100 – 2365 Albert Street, Regina, SK S4P 4K1.

She graduated high school in 1963 and went to University of Manitoba. Upon graduation with a Bachelor of Home Economics in 1966, Judy moved to northern Saskatchewan to work for Social Services. She married Victor Taylor in 1967 and they had two children, Rob and Jennifer. After the dissolve of her marriage, the kids and she moved back to Brandon. Within a couple of years, Judy earned a Bachelor of Education. She taught briefly in Rivers, MB and then got hired as the Home Ec teacher at the Neepawa and Area Collegiate Institute in 1979. She worked at this position until her retirement in 2001. Judy enjoyed teaching and was very proud of her students. She always loved running into them and hearing about what they have been doing.

Following retirement, Judy worked with Touchwood and Viscount Cultural Centre and focused largely on volunteering. The list of events and organizations are lengthy but until her death she was active with the Roxy Committee and with St. James Anglican Church. Judy will be missed for her ability to accomplish many tasks with a smile, humour and patience.

Judy was predeceased by her parents Tom and Eileen Marsden. She is remembered fondly by her brother John Marsden (Victoria, BC), her son Rob (Tania) and daughter Jennifer (Locky Miller). Judy will be sadly missed by her grandchildren Jack, Abby, Jordan and Elliott and a small number of very special cousins and their families. Some of the things the family will miss are the force she had to get them together, make a meal and tell like it is.

Funeral arrangements were in the care of White’s Funeral home and was held on August 25, 2018 at the United Church of Neepawa. Family interment will follow at a later date at the Brandon Cemetery. Donations can be made to the Beautiful Plains Community Fund or the St. James Anglican Church of Neepawa, MB. The family expresses sincere gratitude for the remarkable support they have received from the community following Judy’s death. Thank-you to the physicians and staff at Neepawa Hospital and St. Boniface Hospital for the exemplary care that she received.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Real Estate

Transform bathrooms with technology Submitted Metro Creative Connection

Technology is infiltrating every room of the house. Many new home buyers are millennials, and this tech-savvy demographic covets technological innovations.

A recent survey by Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate indicates 77 percent of Generation X and Y home buyers want their homes equipped with the tech capabilities they have grown accustomed to. Many of these involve smart innovations, including those that can transform one of the most private rooms in the house — the bathroom.

Automated home theatre rooms and Wi-Fi-enabled home security systems have become the norm, but what tech improvements are available to make the powder room more in touch with today’s digital lifestyle? According to the home improvement resource The Spruce, bathrooms have the most potential of any rooms to be improved with technology. The following are just some of the bathroom gadgets and gizmos no one should resist before giving a try.

• Automatic faucets: Infrared sensors have been helping keep public restrooms more hygienic for years. The same technology can be used in home bathrooms to curtail water waste and keep faucets and sinks from becoming infested with germs.

In addition, faucets with built-in timers can be programmed to set tasks for brushing teeth or washing your face.

• Musical shower: Instead of having to blast the volume on the portable speaker

you use in the bathroom, a wireless speaker is built into some showerheads. This enables those who like to sing in the shower or listen to podcasts while washing up to enjoy this luxury effortlessly.

• Smarter weight management: Bathroom scales have gone high-tech as well, with various options enabling users to measure weight, BMI and body fat percentage before sending the data wirelessly to a phone, tablet or computer. This can put you in greater control of fitness goals.

• High-tech toilets: Borrowing ideas from bidets and trends around the world, modern toilets do not require hands or paper. These toilets have temperaturecontrolled water, spritzing wands and air dryers to clean and sanitize. Self-cleaning toilets help busy professionals save time and are ideal for those who always want their bowls as clean as possible. And if you desire extra comfort, toilet seat warmers are available, while LED lights can make nighttime restroom visits easier.

• Soaking tubs: As fast as stand-alone showers were introduced to the modern bathroom, tubless designs have been replaced with streamlined soaking tubs. Tubs come with different features, including chromatherapy, which employs colored lights to enhance mood. Air baths are controlled electronically and provide different levels of sensation for those who are skipping the hot tub.

Round out these innovations with automated lights, chilled medicine cabinets and aromatherapy, and your bathroom will indeed become a technological spa

The conversation goes to pot Neepawa Town Council - Sept 4, 2018

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press The conversation about cannabis has returned to Neepawa. On Tuesday, Sept. 4, Town Council received an update from its administration regarding potential regulations needed to incorporate the sale of the soon to be legalized product. Council requested this information during a meeting back in July.

After researching the topic, the administration indicated that the federal government has already moved forward with very specific requirements for the licensing, operation and distribution of any business selling cannabis, so local regulations on that front are not required.

As for if a cannabis sales outlet were to open in Neepawa, the administration recommended the Town follow the guidelines summarized by the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM), which include a social responsibility location review process. This process allows for the selection of a retail location, subject to the existing mechanisms that are in place similar to the selection of a liquor store location. The location would be selected by the province, though the municipal jurisdiction would provide input. Council accepted the recommendation for review.

The reason for this discussion was related to an enquiry that has been made to locate a retail outlet within the community. Mayor Adrian de Groot and the other members of the council deliberated on the issue back in July, before deciding to ask the administration to move forward with additional research on the topic.

In 2017, the federal government announced legislation to legalize recreational marijuana use by July 2018.

Earlier this year, the date was pushed back to Oct. 17, to give municipalities more time to deal with potential regulation changes.

In late December of last year, the Town of Neepawa voted yes to examining the retail sale of cannabis within the community.

Petition received A petition supporting the halt of construction work on a portion of land between McGill Street and Adelaide Crescent has been formally received by Town Council.

The petition was in opposition to land development, which has been used as a local green space for just over 30 years. Earlier this year, the Town of Neepawa, which owned the lot, sold it located to a developer and builder for $20,000. Council acknowledged the receipt of the petition and will be responding to the individuals involved in due course.

Bringing down “The castle” A tender for the demolition, foundation removal and site restoration at 344 Main Street has been accepted.

Total Demolition Ltd. of Portage la Prairie will soon begin tearing down the three-story house, known too many in Neepawa as “The Castle”. Total Demolition was one of three companies who put in a bid to do the work. They had the low bid of $34,680 plus tax.

Due to extensive interior decay and black mold, as well as an asbestos issue, the demolition of the building must follow very specific guidelines under Workplace Safety and Health.

The Castle has been vacant for about 12 years and is located on the privately owned property. The cost of the demolition can be recouped by the town through the property tax bill.
