Welcome home, Sandy!

Neepawa home to only known captive Sandhill Crane in Manitoba

By Cassandra Wehrhahn

Neepawa Banner & Press

Some new faces have made an appearance at the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary.

The sanctuary has added two white peacocks, a silver lace crested Polish rooster and a Sandhill Crane– the star of the show. This Sandhill Crane is the only known crane of its kind in captivity in Manitoba.

Now named Sandy, the crane was formerly undergoing rehabilitation at the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre (WHRC)– a non-profit at the heart of Ile-de-Chenes, MB, that works to ensure the protection and care of central Canada’s wildlife. The bird was brought to the WHRC this past May by a citizen of Fisher Branch, MB as a small chick weighing less than 100g. The citizen reported that their cat had brought Sandy home a few days prior, and did not know what species Sandy was or how

to care for it. Knowing the WHRC would know what to do, the Fisher Branch citizen made the trip out to the Wildlife Haven so the bird would be in good hands.

I n a st atement forwarded to the Banner & Press by the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary, WHRC executive director Zoe Nakata noted that this is not a common occurrence.

“Sandhill Cranes are not a common animal that comes into rehabilitation, their young, even less so,” said Nakata.

Nakata added, “Efforts to reunite the chick back with the family or to find a new foster family were not successful.”

Despite reun ion efforts being unsuccessful, WHRC staff and volunteers continued to ensure Sandy was healthy– includ i ng t reat ment for angel wing, a condition that causes the wing to be misshapen. As it grew, Sandy was found to be too friendly to humans to

be released in the wild, which would become detrimental to survival. As a result, Sandy’s wings were clipped and a new home made for it in Neepawa.

At Sandy’s new home, it will be enjoying a diet of kibble, fish, grapes and an assortment of veggies.

Bird Sanctuary committee member Brenda Ferguson would like to encourage those who have extra veggies, or veggies that will soon expire, to contact her through the Bird Sanctuary’s Facebook page or via email at brenda58@ mymts.net. Veggies, such as broccoli, should be cut to bite size pieces for safe consumption.

Note: The Bird Sanctuary is currently preparing for the winter season this week due to drops in temperature. As such, most birds are expected to be in the barn until next year. However, the emus will remain outdoors for a little while longer and the ducks and geese will remain outdoors this winter, so folks can visit them at any time.

BP Museum asks for HyLife supports Happy Rock reassurances on land deal Neepawa Town Council - Oct. 1, 2019

The Beautiful Plains Museum has reminded the current Neepawa Town Council of a commitment made to them by members of a previous council. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, Council reviewed a letter from the Beautiful Plains Museum Board. Within that letter, it indicated that an agreement had been made with the board a few years ago regarding an acre of land around the current building. It suggested that the acre was to be subdivided and assigned to the museum for the purpose of development. Because the Town of Neepawa did not have land titles on that property at the time of the discussions, it appears as though there was no formal paperwork on this deal.

The purpose of this recent letter was to confirm that the current Council would continue to support the proposed allocation.

The last official correspondence regarding the issue was in an email sent to a former councillor from the Museum Board in June 2016. In that email, council indicated their intent to have the parcel of land identified in the subdivision for the museum and placed on its own specific roll number with a legal description. Council also indicated at that time the preference to enter into a longterm lease agreement with the museum versus an option to purchase.

Upon reviewing the letter, council advised administration to review the file and get back to them with some additional details.

munity would get underway on Monday, Oct.7. The items must be placed in compostable bags only and no household or animal waste are acceptable.

Due to the recent influx of rainfall throughout the region, property owners are being reminded that any precipitation, be it rain or snowfall, is their responsibility. As well, leaves on private property must be cared for by the property owner. They cannot be raked onto the street.

Cemetery clean up for the fall has begun. As of Friday, Oct. 10, ornamental objects on all grave sites must be removed (i.e. solar lights, silk flowers and other items that are resting on the grass).

Economic Development report A report from the EDO indicated that there have been three requests for more information about the commercial land on the former C.N. site and two requests for more information for the Industrial Park.

The report included a reminder that What’s the Big Idea? is scheduled for Oct. 17, at the Neepawa Legion.

Currently, four businesses

are preparing for the event and there is room for more.

Interested parties are asked to contact Marilyn Crewe at the Economic Development office at 476-7607.

Neepawa Tourism held a successful MeatUp! with Josh McFadden and Panoramic Outdoors at Rotary Park on Sept. 14. Next year’s plans include directional signage, thanks to the Canadian Experiences Fund grant.

Yellowhead Economic Corridor committee met on Aug 20. Contact has been made at the provincial level to promote the strengths of locating along the Yellowhead Highway.

Plans are being developed to work with the new Rural Economic Development Agency.

A report from the Manitoba Youth Summer Jobs office indicates that 31 local youth were assisted this summer.

Organizers optimistic about Neepawa Sports Dinner

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press There has been a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes over the past few weeks for Neepawa’s 11th annual Community Sports Dinner and Auction. This is the fourth straight year that the Neepawa Natives have served as the lone organizer of the event and cocoordinator Jenna Lowry said the preparations have kept everyone involved with the club very busy.

“Preparations for the

dinner and auction have gone as planned so far. We are working on making this year’s event, the best one yet,” said Lowry. “Sports memorabilia, as well as some local prizes will be auctioned off at the event.

Upon entrance to this event, [attendees] will be able to drop their ticket in one of three door prizes.”

As for ticket sales, though the number has not been made public, Lowry suggested that they are currently on par with last year’s results.

Guest speakers This year’s edition of the Sports Dinner has been scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 9 and will feature a pair guest speakers, including headliner Leah Hextall.

She started her sports broadcast career just over 15 years ago at CKX-TV in Brandon. Since then, she has worked for every notable sports network in North America, including TSN, ESPN, Sportsnet and the New England Sports Network (NESN). Some of her notable assignments

over the years have been the Stanley Cup, the World Series and the World Cup of Hockey.

Lowry said Hextall will bring an intriguing and inspiring story with her to share.

“Leah comes from the Westman region and is known across the country.

She is a very good sports broadcaster and knows a lot about hockey. She has excelled in a male dominated industry for a long time and in doing so, has faced her fair share of ups and

Missed opportunity

A

by Chad Carpenter

Today is the day!

Y

es, today, Oct. 11, is the day! A memorable day, because it was 50 years ago today that my wife, Christine, and I got married. The wedding took place at the Virden Presbyterian Church and the reception at the Scarth Community Centre. It seems like a long time ago and I guess it was.

Our wedding was a pretty low key event. There was no fundraising social, not a huge guest list and the honeymoon consisted of a drive through the Assiniboine Valley, enjoying what was left of the fall colours and checking out an old stone church. We were both attending university and had to get back to Winnipeg to be in class on Tuesday morning. In contrast to many weddings today, some would call it pretty dull. It was definitely less expensive than many of today’s weddings. But the marriage has lasted, through good times and tough times.

Christine says when today’s marriages fall apart, it is largely due to unrealistic expectations. I think she had low expectations about me and I was able to fulfil them– barely! But she is correct, people have unrealistic expectations. Maybe we didn’t set our goals high enough. We have never had a new home, except a new mobile home we moved on to our farm east of Arden. We have almost always taken on older homes and fixed them up. At last count, it has been 11 different places we have lived, three rented and eight owned. Seven of the owned places have been older places and our current home was built in the early 1900s. It’s still not finished and maybe never will be.

Today’s young couples, starting out in life, have been fed a line of nonsense about married life. From observing our parents’ neepawa

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell marriages, we both knew that married couples don’t always agree. We willingly carried on that tradition. We argue and discuss and sometimes get angry. I may be accused of being cynical here, but if you love someone and care enough, you will fight at times.

Today’s generation, and the past couple of generations, have also swallowed the idea that you have to have a big honeymoon, a new home, a new car, the best of entertainment units and the newest cell phone. All that is well and good and it usually comes with a big personal debt load.

I won’t say that the younger generation doesn’t know how to work, because many of them work very hard. Some have no idea what hard work is, but many do.

We worked hard, and still do, but compared to our parents, we had it a bit easier for sure. Again, it’s about expectations. I would say one word of criticism about today’s workplace and that is many people today tend to shave the clock a fair bit. Very few people, who aren’t self employed, put in 40 hour weeks. Some do, but a full day is now expected to be 9 to noon and 1 to 5 and that only comes to 35 hours per week.

There are 24 hours in a day. If you only work 7, it begs the question, what are you doing with the other 17 on week days and the 48 on the weekend? Truth be known,

a lot of our hours today are badly invested in TV, computers and cell phones. Few businesses, and no marriages, are made better by the countless hours we spend glued to electronics.

Our 50 years of marriage has produced two sons that resulted in four grandchildren and two great grandchildren. It also resulted in us deepening our faith in God, our appreciation of Christ our Saviour, us having hundreds of friends and acquaintances and last, and maybe least, our business and political life. We have invested over 50 years, and countless dollars, into family, farming, auctioneering, running for political office and building a tiny publishing empire. We still invest in those things every day, well past “retirement” age.

Thank you all, with special thanks to Christine, for making the last five decades what it has been. It’s been mostly good and the rest we learned from. How much more time we have on earth, only God knows. The past and the future can only be summed up as, “To God be the glory.”

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell

fter close to two years, Manitoba farmers received the good news that new long-term leases for Agricultural Crown Lands (ACL) would be available for next year. The good spirits were dampened once the details of the revised program were understood.

There are about 1.45 million acres of forage land that the provincial government rents or leases for grazing or hay production and another 11,000 acres leased for cropping. In 2017, the Province began the process of modernizing MY the forage lease PERSPECTIVE program. There were two rounds of consultations, du r i ng wh ich Kate the Province accepted feedback Jackman-Atkinson from the public, as well as holding meetings with key stakeholders.

The government could be forgiven for thinking that people didn’t really care– the first round of surveys yielded 37 responses and the second, 25. A dismal response when you consider that there are about 1,750 forage leaseholders and close to 6,000 cattle producers in the province. The consultation process wasn’t done in secret; starting in December 2017, it was covered in the general media, industry publications and producer meetings. The initial changes were announced in late 2018 and another round of consultations began in order to work out the details.

In modernizing the rules, the Province did walk a line between opposing sides. When it came to term length, for example, existing leaseholders wanted a longer term, to make any improvements financially viable. Prospective leaseholders wanted shorter terms, to see these public lands made available more frequently than under a 50 year term length. Those whose farms are mostly comprised of Crown Land are angry that the new 15 year terms have taken away their continuity of access and cost.

The finalized regulations have been met with opposition from existing leaseholders beyond the term length. Farmers nearing retirement are angry that unit transfers, the ability to transfer ACL leases with the sale of a farm, are no longer allowed and that family transfers can only be for the balance of the lease term.

Everyone is unhappy with the new pricing structure. Under the new program, in addition to paying a one-time fee at public auction for the opportunity to rent the land, rental rates are rising between 300 and 500 per cent. The added rub is that in 2020, leaseholders will be responsible for two years’ rent. In early 2020, they’ll pay that year’s rent, which will be the average of the old rate and the new rate, then, in November or December, they’ll receive a bill for their 2021 rental, which will be at the new rate and due within 30 days.

These changes put ACL rental rates close to private rates, but not only is ACL almost always marginal land, leaseholders don’t have the same rights as they do with private land. Crown Land lease holders can only use their land in certain ways; for example, a hay lease can’t be used for grazing, and there are restrictions on what can be grown. Not only that, leaseholders can’t limit access. While non-lease holders are prohibited from taking motorized vehicles on Crown Land, the tire tracks across leased fields tell a different story.

While the province is asking for more money, they haven’t allocated any additional funding to enforcement, which was a major issue raised in the first round of consultation.

Coming off a tough year, in which ranchers are struggling to feed their herds and many producers are looking for help from the Province, the government has turned around and added more costs, without adding any significant benefits. There is some hope, as Manitoba Beef Producers have said that there are still some ongoing consultations.

In 2018, I wrote, “It’s a shame that so few people took the opportunity to make their thoughts and needs heard, to develop a system that will work for those who use it. Instead, we’ll hear complaints in coffee shops and around kitchen tables.” I was wrong, we’re hearing it in packed halls, not without reason.

Gratitude month, part two Observation A A

few months ago, I began a project that has profoundly changed my view of the world around me. I started keeping a Gratitude Journal. Once each day, I write down three things for which I am grateful.

When I began this project, I decided that I didn’t want it to be a frivolous exercise; so my journal focuses on acts of kindness done by others for others.

Several recent entries express gratitude for the rain we have received and for the way it has rejuvenated my lawn. I know that more rain is needed– I’ve seen how low the water levels are in the lakes and rivers near me. But I am not about to stop giving thanks for what we have received just because we could use a little more. The rains and rainbows that follow them remind me that God is faithful and is supplying our needs.

My journal also records random acts of kindness people do for others. I’ve noted how some people on

A

FAITHFULLY YOURS

Neil Strohschein the street where I live faithfully cut lawns and shovel snow for those who can’t do these things themselves.

Every such act (I see several each week) shows me that I am part of a loving and caring community. For that, I am grateful.

Acts of kindness like those mentioned above share three things in common. First, they are random. They are not expected. Weather forecasters may predict rain, but they can’t tell us with 100 per cent certainty precisely when, where or if it will fall.

The same is true of random acts of kindness. They are the result of a choice, made by one person, to do something kind and helpful for another without seeking or expecting any recognition or reward. These acts are

motivated by the attitude to which Jesus referred when he said: “Love God with all your heart… love your neighbour as yourself.”

Second, these acts add value to the lives of others.

In other words, they make life easier for the recipients.

They meet a need that the recipient cannot meet on his or her own.

I know of many people in our communities who, when driving themselves to church or to appointments, going grocery shopping or picking up their mail, will phone a friend and ask if he or she needs anything or would just like to come along for the ride. The few extra minutes the trip takes may be of inestimable value to the person for which the act of kindness is done– and will make strong friend-

ships even stronger.

Third, random acts of kindness help build strong communities. They have power to break down barriers that divide people and motivate all who see them to treat others with the reverence and respect they deserve as part of God’s creation. The acts of love, care and kindness that result will sometimes amaze an entire community.

Since beg inning my gratitude journal less than one year ago, I have seen how one act of kindness has produced many more.

Sometimes, I have been the recipient of one or more of these acts. When possible, I have taken the time to say “thank you,” sometimes to the person who did the kind act, sometimes to his or her employer, sometimes to both. When a personal “thank you” isn’t possible, I thank God that I live in a community where people look out for each other and help make it one I am proud to call home.

Thanksgiving

noun and a verb, an occasion and an act. This year it is challenging for some of our farmers to embrace the act of thanksgiving.

The summer was too dry; pastures suffered, hay crops disappointed and crops were watched anxiously.

With September came the awaited rains. They came, and they came. After five or seven inches of rain, we could see the pastures greening and the potential for a second cut on hayfields became a possibility. A few more inches of rain and the creeks were flowing and the lowlands puddling. Even more rain and there was water shining down the crop rows.

And then the snow– heavy and wet, enough to break the back of standing crops. It is a challenge to remain cheerful, optimistic, and positive when the crop is not all safely gathered in.

I watched my father struggle with the cycles of

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen nature– remember the October blizzard that crippled the province?– and then, as a farm wife and partner, I felt the anguish of the wet years and the dry years.

I am thankful for every farm family working to feed us all.

May courage and strength be theirs.

It is easy for me to be thankful. Each day is a gift, an open expanse of possibilities. My faith and my family sustain me, my friends and my dogs entertain me.

As Henry Hoover, Miss Daisy and I head out for our walks, I am thankful. For a few days, Miss Daisy was out with a hernia, and then for a few days, Hoover was out with a sore paw– I think

he picked up a thistle– and the walk isn’t the same without them both!

The trail is spectacular in fall. The river is high and running fast, gurgling and swirling over the beaver dams. The leaves are gently coloured, some cushioning our path. Down in the valley, the air is warm, the sounds amplified. Being out amid the trees, beside the water, striding a well kept path, I am thankful.

The day, the occasion, is a day of reflection and introspection. Family are those you love, bloodlines and love lines. Food in abundance, garden fresh and family favourites.

I do admit that I am really okay when I am the guest and not the host! There

was a time I delighted in preparing the feat for the family, delighted in making certain that there were beds enough for everyone.

Apple and Saskatoon pies, homemade buns, turkey and Stove Top stuffing!

Now I am delighted to be the guest, bringing a salad or dessert, or not.

This year, there will be a toddler and two babies at our gathering. Wonderful to watch another generation start their story! At the one gathering, the family will sing the doxology, in harmony, and I will be silent, absorbing the beauty of the ritual. Thanks giving on Thanksgiving.

October is filled with benchmark days, some of my saddest and some of my gladdest. This year, again, I will open my eyes to the wonder of this world and all creation, and I will open my heart to the wonder of family and friends.

By Addy Oberlin

nother Thanksgiving weekend is awaiting us.

Two years ago, I lost my husband during that time and last year, I just moved from Manitoba to Alberta. I can say that I am thankful for the way the Lord has led me and I could make a list a mile long to share my contentment and thankfulness with you.

Maybe you have experienced some sad times during this year. The economy is slow. Maybe there has not been enough work. Sickness and pain can surely make us feel miserable. Each phase in our life has its ups and downs.

A friend who was dying of cancer decided to make two lists. On the one side, she put down everything that she was thankful for and on the other side, her discontentment.

She was so surprised to see that the list with her thankfulness was so much longer than the other one. She thanked the Lord for laying it on her heart to do this.

Colossians 3:15 tells us: “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts... And be ye thankful.” Count your blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving Day.

Letters

Questions for the Tories May I ask a few questions about the Tory election campaign?

First, SNC Lavalin– the alleged offense, bribing a foreign official, dates back to 2001. Why was it not prosecuted during 11 years of Harper Tories? Also, nearly 20 years later, who from the corporation do you put in jail for a criminal charge? The CEO from back then, who is probably dead by now, or the present CEO, who probably had nothing to do with it? Just asking.

Maybe Trudeau's suggestion of a $20 million fine isn't so bad after all.

Mr. Scheer claims that the four cent/liter carbon tax is the end of Canadian civilization. Of course, he claims the tax is 31 cents, but we all know that Tories can't do math. He is fond of saying that Canada only produces two or three percent of the world's greenhouse gases. But Canada only has 1/2 per cent of the world population. So we produce four to six times as much per capita as the rest of the world. He says he will cure the problem by shortening the commute. Does he intend to tell us where we can live in relation to our jobs? He said something about fixing roads (municipal and provincial jurisdiction), to shorten the commute time. We'll drive faster to save fuel. Anyone with any respect for science or math knows that to move a given mass through a given distance in less time requires more energy. Translation just for Tories: Driving faster uses more fuel per kilometre. But Tories seem to believe that unless we can prove, beyond even an unreasonable doubt, that global warming is man-made, we should strive to use more fossil fuels at every opportunity. It's profitable for business. South of the border, Conservatives cheered when Trump cancelled the laws requiring auto companies to strive for greater fuel efficiency.

We live in a large, cold country, but does that justify the recent revelation that our personal vehicles use nearly twice as much fuel per kilometre as cars in the rest of the world?

Pipelines– when Harper became Prime Minister, there were four major pipeline projects waiting for approval.

Trans-Mountain and Northern gateway to the Pacific, Energy East to the Maritimes and Keystone XL to the US. No progress on any of them in 11 years. But Scheer claims the Tories built four major pipelines in that time.

Where are those Tory pipelines and how come Alberta still can't get their products to market?

Deficits/debt. A simple check of audited reports over the last 70 years reveals the following accumulated federal debt expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product. 1955, after two wars and 20 plust years of Liberal government, 10 per cent of GDP. Continued on Page 17

Japan

Japan is an archipelago, or string of islands, on the eastern edge of Asia with the nickname “land of the rising sun.” There are four main islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. There are nearly 4,000 smaller islands as well. About three-fourths of the nation’s land is mountains, with 66 per cent forest. Temperatures vary from tropical to temperate. The population is clustered in urban areas on the coast, plains and valleys.

Japan is one of the world’s most geologically unstable areas. Three of the tectonic plates that form the Earth’s crust meet nearby and often move against each other, causing earthquakes. More than a thousand earthquakes hit Japan every year. Japan also has about 200 volcanoes, 60 of which are active. Mount Fuji is the single most popular tourist site in Japan, for both Japanese and foreign tourists. More than 200,000 people climb to the summit every year. In Japan, one can see a traditional sumo tournament, stroll the gardens of the Imperial Palace, spend time at Asakusa Kannon Temple, Tokyo’s oldest Buddhist temple, and meditate with monks or enjoy the beauty of a Zen rock garden.

Japan is truly timeless, a place where the country’s traditional cultures are fused with modern life as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world. They are famous for their love of beauty and this is reflected in the architecture of their shrines, temples and houses, which are planned to harmonize with the natural surroundings. Heavy emphasis is placed on education and Japan is one of the world’s most literate countries.

Their government is a constitutional democracy. The Japanese monarchy is thought to be the oldest continuous hereditary monarchy in the world. Japan is a world leader in robotics. They are among the world’s largest and technologically advanced producers of motor vehicles, electronic equipment, machine tools, steel and nonferrous metals, ships, chemicals and textiles.

Japan’s food is famously nutritious, with a diet based around super-fresh, seasonal products. They make good use of the foodstuffs they have readily available, such as fish, soybeans, seaweed, rice and chicken. They pay close attention to preparation and presentation, believing that food is eaten with the eyes as well as the mouth. How true is that! Colonialism often was a way that influenced how a nation ate, however for Japan this was not so. Japan was never colonized or taken over by other countries. As well, all of Japan’s ports were closed and people forbidden to travel for the years between 1600 and 1868, so there was little opportunity for culinary exchange. Their greatest influences came from China many years earlier (300B.C.) with rice cultivation, writing, Buddhism, tea, chop sticks and soy sauce. In the 700s A.D., the rise of Buddhism led to a ban on eating meat. The popular dish, sushi came about as a result of this ban.

There is a flavour that is strictly Japanese and that is dashi, an all-purpose stock made from kelp and dried bonito flakes. It is used in all soups and many other dishes, such as marinades and sauces. Curry with rice is the Japanese national dish. Japanese are also devoted noodle eaters. Soba, made from buckwheat flour, is a type of noodle dish that has been eaten in Japan for centuries. Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy. It is finely sliced raw fish served with soy sauce on the side. Another dish, Natto is fermented soybeans served with raw quail eggs and soy sauce. Yakitori is Japanese chicken skewers.

Okonomiyaki, which loosely translates to “as you like it,” are savory “pancakes” made with your choice of ingredients, such as thin slices of pork belly, octopus and shrimp.

Japanese sweets are always beautiful, creative and delicious with a wonderful selection of cakes, cookies and sweet buns.

Japanese pork curry 3 Tbsp. curry powder 1 Tbsp. ginger, minced 3 Tbsp. tomato paste 3 Tbsp. flour 2 cups red wine 2 large carrots, peeled and 1 Tbsp. honey sliced 2 Tbsp. soy sauce 1 large potato, peeled and 3 cups water diced salt and pepper to taste 1 tsp. garam masala In a large pot over medium high heat, add 2 Tbsp. oil and pork pieces. Cook for 5 minutes or until meat is cooked through. Set meat aside. Lower heat, add 1 Tbsp. oil and the onion. Cook onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and apple and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add flour and stir for 1 minute. Add carrots, potatoes, garam masala and curry powder and stir well.

Add honey, soy sauce and water, stir and bring to a boil again. Add pork and lower heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Take the lid off and cook for another 20-30 minutes or until liquids have reduced. Season with salt and pepper and serve with rice.

Help in a time of need Fundraisers organized for Kaiser-Boldt family following home fire

By Cassandra Wehrhahn

Neepawa Banner & Press

Tr a g e d y s t r u c k a McCrea r y fa m i ly on Sept. 21. According to the information on the GoFund Me page that was organized for them by Karen May, of Erickson, the wiring behind Liana Kaiser and Abe Boldt’s stove caught fire while the family was away for a day trip in Brandon.

Liana and Abe returned home with their kids to see smoke pouring out of the back of the roof. The Kaiser-Boldt kids alerted 911 of the emergency while Liana and Abe attempted a rescue of the family dogs. One was saved,

but the rest had already succumbed to the fire. The McCreary Volunteer Fire Department arrived onscene and extinguished the fire, cutting holes in the roof and floor to ensure the fire was completely snuffed out.

As a result of the fire, all the family furniture is gone or damaged by water and/ or smoke, and the KaiserBoldts were left with only the clothes they wore that day. The Banner & Press has not yet heard whether or not the home is salvageable, or if the family has been able to further assess damages and if any clothing or personal items survived t he f i r e. Temp or a r y accommodat ions were

arranged with friends and family.

The GoFund Me was organized to help provide or replace basic necessities, allowing the Kaiser-Boldts to focus on any larger issues they may need to address.

Donations to this GoFund Me can be made at www. gofundme.com/f/kaiserfire.

A benefit social is also scheduled to take place at the Kelwood Community Hall on Nov. 2, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. The event is being organized by Traci Dash on behalf of the Kelwood and area Lions Club.

RCMP investigate Minnedosa hopes Sports Dinner a grand slam Pair of notable Blue Jays serving as guest speakers farm fatality

Submitted

By Eoin Devereux

On Oct. 7, at approximately 1:30 p.m., Blue Hills RCMP responded to a farm accident just east of Hwy 464, south of Brookdale, in the Rural Municipality of North Cypress-Langford.

Initial reports indicate that a male was caught in a large piece of farming equipment. A 73-year-old male from the R.M. of North Cypress-Langford was pronounced dead on the scene. Workplace Safety and Health has been advised and RCMP continue to investigate.

The Minnedosa and District Recreation Commission has touched all the bases when it comes to preparing for the 22nd annual Sports Dinner.

Organizers of the event, which is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 19, have been very busy over the past few weeks, selling tickets and lining up sponsorships.

Commission recreation director Alexis Kuby said that the tickets sales as of late have started to pick up, with only about 125 seats left for purchase, as of Friday, Oct. 4. As for sponsorships, Kuby noted that the local business re-

sponse has also been going very well.

This year, the night will feature a pair of keynote speakers, former Toronto Blue Jays Jesse Barfield and Duane Ward. Barfield was a part of Toronto’s highly talented outfield in the 1980s, paired with George Bell and Lloyd Moseby. He was a twotime Gold Glove winner for his defensive play and the American League (AL) home run leader in 1986, with 40. Ward, meanwhile, was a member of the Jays squad for a full decade as a middle reliever and closer, including Toronto’s back-to-back World Series championship years in 1992 and 93. He led the AL

in saves in 1993, with 45.

Kuby said for this year, the Recreation Committee wanted to reach a slightly different demographic by going the baseball route. “[It] has never been done in Minnedosa before. I’m personally very excited for this event and to hear our guest speakers,” said Kuby.

To go along with the guest speakers, the 2019 recipient of the Minnedosa Sport and Recreation Award winner will be announced. Each year, this prize is given to a local individual who showcases

an outstanding dedication to a local sport or program.

Kuby said that the winner is not announced until the night of the event. While the winner is usually kept in the dark until they hear their name, the individual who nominated them, as well as the recipients’ family, are notified in advance.

The nomination process concluded at the end of September and the Rec Committee’s Board of Directors and Kuby will make the final decision from that list.

Looking Back

OCTOBER 11, 2019

1999: A blast to the past in agriculture

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Tuesday, October 12, 1909 The English Grand Opera Singers are having big success all along the line.

They will be in Neepawa on Thursday night.

100 years ago, Friday, October 10, 1919 Neepawa is too large a town to have a rink such as the old one. People say that there should be a new rink, but no one gets busy in trying to have one, and it is in one way a hold back to the town, not having a proper place for sport.

The old building has been condemned for four or five years now and yet the people keep fixing it up. They know that it is not safe, but still continue to keep it open and likely will continue till some accident occurs by it falling in, in some part of it. Probably then the people would build a new one.

Note: This snippet is an excerpt from a letter that was submitted to The Neepawa Press. The letter continues for three more short paragraphs, and was simply signed “A Skater”.

90 years ago, Friday, October 11, 1929 A Swiss inventor claims to have designed a boat which will skim the surface of the water at a speed of more than 200 miles an hour.

80 years ago, Tuesday, October 10, 1939 Women fliers will not be accepted by the Royal Air Force.

Spain has ordered the expulsion of Reich business representatives, as well as all Germans holding key positions in Spanish firms.

Hitler’s peace terms rejected by a l l ies: 1.

Conference of nations; 2.

Disarmament; 3. Solution of Jewish problem; 4.

Polish state containing only Poles under GermanRussian suzerainty; 5.

No demands except for colonies; 6. Ger many will respect neutrality of small neighbors, desiring only economic relations; 7. Security possible only on the basis of GermanBritish friendship; 8. Britain and France cannot defeat Germany, but if [they] did, [the] present situation would be [the] same in 10 years; 9. No reason for hostility between Nazis and Soviets as long as both stick to respective spheres.

Note: The “Jewish problem” mentioned is an issue fabricated by prejudice that was, and is, part of the heavily anti-Semitic rhetoric used by Nazis. Not all anti-Semitic rhetoric was/is upfront. Euphemistic language has historically been used in addition to or in place of openly prejudiced rhetoric, which continues to persist today.

We thought the “crisis” period was over when Britain and France declared war on Germany, but here we are in the midst of another one, very subtle and sickening to think about. Hitler’s threats won many a victory in the past. His bluff was called

by Poland and he carried out his declarations. He gained his object through sheer force and now wants to consolidate his conquest before springing on another neighbor. Consequently he wants peace with the Allies and he is trying to force it by dark rumblings of what he will do if he does not get it. But he fears this time.

His threats put into action would mean the death sentence to millions and would most likely that of himself. This is an insidious crisis we are going through, but he cannot be let [to] have his way again for it would mean the complete

annihilation of the Allies as a consequence.

70 years ago, Thursday, October 13, 1949 Ratepayers of Neepawa and district will go to the polls Oct. 21 to vote on the establishment of a local hospital. Ratepayers in the municipalities of Langford, Rosedale, Glenella and parts of Lansdowne and Alonsa will vote on the organization of a Neepawa Hospital District No. 9.

A favourable vote will authorize construction of a 30-bed hospital in Neepawa and a 6-bed medical unit in the village of Glenella.

Neepawa hospital will include a case room and nursery with 12 bassinets, an operating room, emergency operating room, X-ray and laboratory facilities as well as office space for other health and welfare services.

The Glenella medical nursing unit will provide a case room and a nursery, an operating room and office space. These buildings will serve the 9,416 people in the area.

The total cost is estimated at $200,000 with federalprovincial grants providing $90,000 and gifts totalling $6,000 from the Manitoba Pool Elevators.

“The first two years we threshed at Neepawa, but it’s a lot of work hauling everything in to cut the sheaves and stook,” said Gibson. “I thresh at home anyway, so I thought we’d do it here.”

Spectators watched in fascination as sheaves were pitched onto horse drawn wagons and hauled to a grain separator driven by an old 1923 Robert Bell steam engine.

The old 23 horsepower sidemount single cylinder engine spewed rich clouds of smoke sky wards as it chugged on endlessly through the threshing process, unaware that its time had come and gone.

Local daycare group seeing progress Budz ‘N Bloom school age program started up, new centre still waiting to open

By Kira Paterson

Neepawa Banner & Press

The Budz ‘N Bloom board is chipping away at the process of getting the new early learning centre, Seedz ‘N Sprouts, ready to open. Even though construction of the daycare is complete, there is no official opening date set, as the new building is on the Neepawa Middle School site, where there is still ongoing construction. Until there is a completion date confirmed on that construction, the daycare board will use their time to make the new site ready to go. “We are working behind the scenes to make sure we are ready to open when the time comes,” stated board member Kristy Sprik.

Because the opening date is still not confirmed, Sprik noted that they also don’t have access to the waitlist for the new centre. However, parents hoping to get a spot for their child can still register to be on the waitlist on the online childcare registry website, onlinechildcareregistry.gov.mb.ca. Budz is also in the process of hiring staff for Seedz ‘N Sprouts, however, as they don’t know how many are registered on

the waitlist, Sprik noted they don’t have a firm number of how many staff they will need at the new centre.

The building itself is starting to look like a usable space now, as a large order of furniture for the rooms has recently come in. In addition to furniture, they now have some toys from the toy drive they have been running since August. “[Budz staff member Crystal Murray] is working

at getting the rooms set up and sorting through the toys that have been donated already,” noted Sprik. “The furniture that has arrived now is quite extensive,” she added, noting that they have everything from shelving, to tables and chairs, to cribs and cots and more.

Although the building’s construction was paid for by the Province, everything inside and on the yard will be the financial respon-

sibility of Budz ‘N Bloom.

To pay for the furnishings, and hopefully a play structure outside eventually, the group has been raising money since plans for the new centre were announced. “Our fundraising goal is $375,000, we are currently at $229,760.43 of our goal! The community support has been amazing,” Sprik expressed. The original goal had been $250,000, but after the announcement of a

new location for the school age program, it increased by $125,000.

Fundraising efforts The Budz ‘N Bloom board has been requesting support from local organizations, as well as holding their own fundraisers. The most recent fundraiser was through Tim Hortons in Neepawa, with their Smile Cookie Campaign. Tim Hortons had set a goal to

raise $6,000 and they surpassed that goal, with a final total of $6,494. The proceeds from that campaign will benefit all three sites: their current pre-school aged location on Hamilton St., the school age program and the new location.

Upcoming fundraisers include Deja Vu, a concert organized by local band LunchMoney, featuring area musicians performing the music of Canadian artists. The concert is set for Oct. 19, 7:30 pm at the Roxy Theatre and will split the proceeds between Budz ‘N Bloom and ArtsForward.

There is also a Halloween family dance, set for Oct. 25 at the Neepawa Legion, from 6:30 to 8 pm.

Outside of benefit events, the group is also selling gift cards. People can purchase gift cards for nearly 100 different companies, including Safeway/Sobeys, Tim Hortons, Landmark Cinemas and Amazon, with a percentage of the amount the gift card is worth going to Budz. “People can either buy from a family that has children in the centre(s), or call Budz ‘N Bloom to order,” Sprik said.

Cathy Scofield-Singh campaigns for federal Liberals

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

It didn’t take all that much persuasion for Cathy Scofield-Singh to immediately jump right back into campaign mode for the federal Liberals, within the Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa riding. Only a few days after the conclusion of the provincial election, in which she was an MLA candidate in Dauphin, Scof ield-Singh stepped forward to be the Liberal Party representative in the federal race.

As for why the Ste. Rose du Lac resident choose to jump back into the political fray so quickly, ScofieldSingh said the reasoning is quite simple.

“I believe in what the Liberal Party is trying to accomplish and have accompl ished,” noted Scof ield-Singh. “They have achieved a lot over the course of the last four years. From the [USMCA trade] negotiations, which are completed and now just need to be ratified.

They have worked hard

on that. They’ve brought in improved child tax benefits.

In our riding alone, that has brought in over $7 million that lower income families didn’t have before.

So there have been huge, tremendous strides in the last four years. [The Federal Liberals] have had to undo a lot of what the previous government had done. We have moved forward in climate change, on research and more. Being a part of that change, that progress would be very exciting.”

Not your typical politician To officially be a part of that change, however, Scofield-Singh and the Liberals must get the support of the people from across the riding. She noted to the Banner & Press that herself and her loyal collective of campaign volunteers are out there, introducing themselves to the voters and delivering a straightforward message.

“I’m not your typical politician. I am a nurse practitioner, who really cares about my clients, whether my clients are an

individual or my community. I have an individual drive to speak on behalf of people. For those whose voice is not being heard.

I’m listening to you and I will advocate on your behalf,” stated ScofieldSingh. “I’m hoping to earn the Dauphin-Swan RiverNeepawa ridings votes and trust.”

What Scof ield-Singh believes the Liberal party could do over the next four years, if given the opportunity, is work with the provinces on improving access to affordable medications and improving the

sustainability of family farms and family ranches.

Background Scofield-Singh graduated from the University of Manitoba Masters of Nursing N.P. program in 2013.

Since then, she has been providing primary health care services in Ste. Rose, where she has been residing since 2001. She has over 30 years of experience as an R.N., with a diverse nursing career, including working in northern remote communities as a Primary Care Nurse for over 10 years.

Rotary and Dairy Queen partner to fight polio Submitted Neepawa Rotary Club Although Canada was certified “polio free” in 1994, the threat of the virus spreading back to Canada is very real. On Oct. 24, World Polio Day, The Rotary Club of Neepawa is partnering with Neepawa Dairy Queen to raise money to help vaccinate children in remote areas of the world, where the disease is endemic.

Fifty per cent of all purchases at Dairy Queen between 4:30 and 7:30 will go towards eradicating polio. One of the event organizers, Rotary president Ron Nordstrom reports, “For every dollar raised, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match it 2-1. That means for $100 raised, $300 will go towards eradicating polio.”

Polio is a highly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of five. The virus is spread person-toperson, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine.

In 1985, Rotary launched PolioPlus, a global mass vaccination program. Since then, Rotary has contrib-

uted more than $1.7 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide.

B e c au s e p ol io w a s brought under control in Canada in the early 1970s, we have forgotten how afraid we once were. Between 1949 and 1954, an estimated 11,000 Canadians were left paralyzed by polio.

Parents were advised to keep their children away from crowds, and schools and movie theatres were closed. Hysteria grew and people were quarantined.

The disease peaked in 1953, with nearly 9,000 cases and 500 deaths.

In 1988, there were an estimated 350,000 cases of polio worldwide. Only 33 cases of polio were documented in 2018. That is a 99 per cent reduction. Right now there are

only three countries where polio remains endemic: Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. However, after being polio free for 19 years, last month two cases of polio were reported in the Phillippines.

So do Canadians need to be concerned about polio in other parts of the world? You bet we do. In our ultra-connected world, polio is no more than a plane ride away. Within 10 years, failure to eradicate the disease from the few remaining areas could result in as many as 200,000 new cases every year.

We all need to eat. On Oct. 24, why not treat your family to supper and treats at Dairy Queen? Not only will you get a tasty meal, you will help to fight polio and ensure it never appears in Canada again.

NACI Tigers get thunderstruck Interlake Thunder proves to be too much for Neepawa

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The onslaught of the Interlake Thunder football team proved to be too much for the NACI Tigers on Friday, Oct. 4, as they cruised to victory 63-12. While NACI’s defensive unit held as best they could, they simply found themselves outmatched throughout the game. The offence for the Tigers found themselves in a similar situation, as they really couldn’t make any substantial progress.

NACI quarterback Ward Brister found himself under pressure the entire game, and closed out the night just 9-for-18 in passing for 110 yard. With the passing attack held at bay, NACI tried to pound out progress on the ground. Conner Kasprick led the charge with nine rushes for 105 yards. He also added an impressive 97 yard kickoff return in the first half of the game, which

resulted in a touchdown.

As for the defence, Colter Birnie had 14 tackles, while Reilly Neufeld had 11, as well as a 109 yard interception return for a touchdown.

With this most recent loss, NACI’s record has dropped to 1-4. As for Interlake, they are unbeaten on the year with a 5-0 record.

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, NACI will play its final pair of games on the road, versus Parkwest on Oct. 11 and Dauphin on Oct. 18.

Neepawa Natives upgrade ticket packages for new season Submitted

Neepawa Natives

With the Neepawa Natives Junior “A” Hockey team’s season now underway, it’s interesting to note some of changes in season ticket sales, regular game day tickets and the 12-andunder school pass program.

For the 2019-20 season, the Neepawa Natives have switched things up a bit by having 30-game ticket packs instead of the older version season ticket punch card. Season ticket holders receive 30 game day tickets in a package. If a fan misses a game, they can use the missed ticket or tickets to bring friends or family to a future game. “It’s a better deal for our fans,” said general manager and head coach Kenny Pearson.

“Unused tickets don’t go to waste, they can be used for any future game,” team president Ken Waddell said, “We have had very positive feedback from our long term fans and new fans alike.”

This year, the team travel fee was raised a bit, to $2,100 per player, but each player family gets two sets of season ticket packages as part of the deal. That way, parents and friends can come as a group to games, as part of the travel fee package. Billet families also get season tickets, in addition to a billet payment, for each player they have in their home.

The popular Neepawa Natives school passes have undergone a change for the better as well this year.

“Thanks to our school pass sponsors we have so far (Performance Exhaust, Mar Dee, Westward Ford, Stella Jones and Intent Planning), we are offering free admission to all students 12 and under. Eligible schools include Neepawa, Minnedosa, Gladstone, Brookdale, Eden, Glenella and McCreary. Students from the eligible schools simply have to show up at the gate and indicate that they attend one of the eligible schools.

Edna Florence Rosling

Olive Mae Bjarnarson Olive passed away on Sunday, October 6, 2019 at the age of 90 years.

She was born April 12, 1929, in the Elwood School District and lived in the Pine Creek area until 1935.

In early spring 1936, the family moved to the Gillespie School District, where she completed Grades 1 through 8. Olive took Grade 9 by correspondence, before going to Gladstone for Grade 10 and Edrans for Grade 11. After finishing school, she was employed at the Gladstone Creamery, the local hospital and later, the Bank of Montreal.

While working in the Creamery, she met Haldor “Dori” Bjarnarson. Dori and Olive were married July 8, 1950 and honeymooned in Kenora. In 1952, they moved above the Macloeds store and moved to their family home in the Steele Bridge area in 1954.

Olive was active in the community through the United Church, Rebekah’s and the Red Hats. She was always taking something out the door, whether it was cake, cookies, breads or buns. Olive won several ribbons at the Gladstone Agricultural Fair over the years with her baking. Olive loved to garden, spending countless hours planting seeds and fighting the weeds in the large garden and flower beds. In the fall, she would can fruit and freeze vegetables that would feed the family throughout the winter. Olive loved watching the birds and the deer out the window. Wintertime found passing the time knitting sweaters, scarves and mittens.

Olive is predeceased by her sister Betty; and her husband Haldor.

Olive will be missed by her children Leon, Bonnie (Ted), Blaine, Randy (Shelley); grandchildren Janine (Brian), Matt, Jordan, Tammy (Jason), Jeff (Anya), Steven (Sabina), Sarah (Randy), Broddi, Tristinn and Sveinna; great grandchildren Thora, Riley, Brooke-Lynne, Adam, Jack and Billy; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Seven Regions Palliative Care, Gladstone.

Peacefully entered into rest on October 1, 2019 at the Third Crossing Manor, Gladstone at the age of 83 years.

Born May 21, 1936 at the family farm in Pine Creek, she and her twin brother were the youngest of ten children born to Alex and Agnes Livingstone.

Edna was educated at Elwood School and upon finishing, she was employed as a nanny.

She went on to work in food services at the University of Manitoba, where she made many fond memories and lifelong friends.

In 1961, she married Harold Rosling and they began their married life in Austin. In 1962, they moved to the Rosling farm in Gladstone, where they raised their family and have resided since.

Edna was a homemaker and mother first. She cared deeply about her family, friends and community. She often showed this through her love of cooking. There was always room and food at the table for anyone. Edna remembered everyone’s favourite pies, cakes, buns and sweets, which she took great joy in serving.

Edna was active in the community through her church, the Legion and annual fundraising efforts. She also made it her mission to be connected with her neighbours. The happiest times were spent socializing with others and spending time with her grandchildren.

In 2018, Edna suffered from respiratory illness and spent a few months in the Neepawa Hospital, until being moved to the Third Crossing Manor.

She will be missed by her husband Harold; daughter Donna (Paul); sons Jim (Ann) and Bruce (Cheryl); grandchildren Jeff (Jessi), Andrea (Vaughn), Justin (Jade), Lauren, Dean and Blake; great grandchildren Rylee and Madalyn; sister Grace; numerous nieces and nephews and Brady (Stephanie), who she shared a special bond with.

The family would like to express their appreciation and thanks to all of those who visited and supported Edna during this past year as well as to the caregivers and staff of Third Crossing Manor.

Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life took place on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 2:00 pm at the Gladstone United Church with interment at the Gladstone Cemetery.

Letter: ‘How can Letter: Lack of climate action in Westman Tories claim the high ground?’

Continued from Page 5 1961, after five years of Deifenbaker Tories, 30 per cent of GDP. Pearson-Trudeau Liberals returned the debt to 20 to 25 per cent of GDP. Mulroney’s Tories soon made it to 60 per cent of GDP. Then Chretien-Martin Liberals brought it back to 30 per cent of G.D.P. Then in 2008, Harper Tories hold the record for the largest single year deficit in Canadian history, $56 billion. From 2008 to 2012, Harper's deficits averaged $31 billion annually. Adjusted for inflation, this would be $40 billion annually in today's dollars. Makes Justin look like a miser.

Seriously, with this record, how can the Tories claim the high ground for money management?

Leonard Paramor Arden, MB

On Friday, Sept. 27, across Canada and the world, youth marched out of their classrooms in a climate strike.

Worldwide there was 4,500 events in 150 countries.

In Canada, businesses shut their doors to support their staff marching. Montreal school board cancelled school. And, teachers organized field trips to protests. Montreal had 500,000 marchers, Toronto, 50,000; Vancouver, 100,000; Victoria, 20,000; and Winnipeg 10,000.

In total, Canada had 80 marches, but none were organized in WestMan. The issue of climate change is the greatest threat of human existence.

We are entering a mass global extinction. The acidic ocean is killing our food. Canada is heating up at twice

You can help fight climate change by learning the facts. Read the IPCC documents. Ensure your sources are based on science, like government or universities. Ask local organizations and municipalities to start putting together information sessions. Ask Universities to come present. Ask your neighbours, talk to your friends.

Once we understand, we will demand change, like those inspiring young kids.

They want to live to see their grandchildren, don’t we owe it to them?

The dinosaurs didn’t see it coming.

But we can see it. We are causing it.

And we can stop it.

the rate of the international community and we are already feeling the effects. In the past, we had a polar vortex, forest fires and floods. This summer Manitoba farmers are facing drought and in Minnedosa Lake the fish died from the heat.

There is no scientific debate around climate change. The science is irrefutable. Over 6,000 scientists collaborated with the United Nations Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018. It states that we have 12 years to drastically reduce our emissions, or we will face consequences that will end society as we know it. Within the year of the report, our emissions have gone up.

This is dire. This is not hyperbole.

This is not a drill.

Seniors’ Week

Options as diverse as seniors’ needs

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press

Over the next 20 years, the Canadian Institute for Health Information estimates that the country’s population of seniors is expected to grow by 68 per cent and the number of Canadians over 75 years of age is expected to double. With the number of seniors now outnumbering the number of children, there have never been more ways for seniors to find options for ageing, tailored to their needs.

Every person is different and that’s why there’s no onesize-fits all solution to aging. Personal preference, health, location, income and a myriad of other factors can drive a person’s decision about how and where they age.

Good health a team effort Health can have a major impact on an individual’s quality of life as they age. While people often think of the role physicians play in health care, they are only one piece of the puzzle, which also includes pharmacists and dental care providers.

For many seniors, their pharmacist is their most regular contact with the health care system, which gives this profession a front line role in keeping seniors healthy. According to the Canadian Pharmacists Association, in 2017, half of Canadian adults took at least one prescription drug and 40 per cent of seniors and those with chronic diseases took four or more. Pharmacists can play an important role in making sure the medications seniors are taking are working to improve their health and quality of life. With an expanded role within the health care system, many pharmacists are providing services beyond just dispensing prescription and over-the-counter medications. Today, pharmacists are offering services such as medication reviews, chronic disease management, immunization services and wellness programs. Many pharmacists also offer a range of comfort and mobility devices. Working with physicians, pharmacists can help provide more seamless care to meet seniors’ diverse health care needs.

Dental care can be an often overlooked part of seniors’ health, comfort and well-being. However, seniors may

face additional challenges when it comes to keeping their mouths healthy. For example, many medications can cause dry mouth, which can contribute to problems, including cavities. For many seniors, a denturist is a vital part of their dental care. Denturists work with a patient’s dentist and provide oral examinations, as well as oral hygiene to ensure overall health. If needed, good prosthetics will not only provide an aesthetic benefit, but will also improve a person’s health, by allowing them to chew food properly to meet their nutritional needs.

Options for living Seniors choose their living situations for a variety of reasons. Some want to remain in their own homes, some want fewer commitments and obligations and some have health care needs that require more care. There are options to meet all of these needs. For many seniors, moving can simplify their lives, giving them the ability to travel or spend more time doing the things they love. A condo development can eliminate housing maintenance chores that seniors may no longer want to perform, as well as offering amenities, such as heated indoor parking, that improve safety.

People with health conditions have different requirements from their living situation; difficulty completing daily tasks, such as getting in and out of bed, getting dressed, preparing meals or making trips to the doctor or store are sure signs that an individual needs some help.

For some, this help comes from family members. For those

whose families can’t provide this assistance, individuals have the option of either moving to a residence that provides these services or hiring a service to help them in their own home.

For some seniors, living in a place built around their specific needs is a priority. These types of developments are called senior’s assisted living facilities. Some are located in a complex that includes additional services, such as a medical clinic, pharmacy or hair salon within the building.

These types of developments are built to allow a senior to remain living there as their care needs grow. They often offer more than just a place to live, but also services such as food service, 24-hour on-site staff, social activities and varying levels of hands-on health care.

Regardless of the type of living arrangement needed by a senior, it’s best to give it some thought and have a plan in place before being forced to make a quick decision. Every individual has different needs and preferences and ensuring a positive transition is very important. For seniors and their families, these discussions can be difficult, but having a plan will make any transition easier, when the time comes.

Budz ‘N Bloom continues to grow

Newspaper Week promotes importance of credible journalism Submitted News Media Canada

PHOTO BY KIRA PATERSON

Pictured is Budz ‘N Bloom’s school age program space, located on the second floor of the former Co-op grocery store in Neepawa. Renovations were completed in August and the space officially opened on Aug. 30.

Continued from Page 9 Budz will also be continuing the toy drive, to help supply Seedz ‘N Sprouts once it’s open. Once the current donations from the toy drive have been sorted through and totalled, they will have an idea of what they still need for toys.

To find out more about any of the fundraisers or to just give a donation, people are encouraged to contact Budz ‘N Bloom (204-476-3844) or follow their Facebook page.

More projects Despite the waiting game being played at Seedz ‘N Sprouts, there is still some very tangible progress Budz ‘N Bloom has made in the community. Perhaps most notable is the opening of their school age program in a new location.

Up until the new location opened, the school age program was being run out of the Prairie Alliance Church on Main St. in Neepawa, with only space for about a dozen

kids. The new site, on the second floor of the former Co-op grocery store on Mountain Ave., was announced in April and renovations to the space were completed in August.

The centre officially opened on Aug. 30, just in time for the new school year and has more than doubled their capacity for the school age program. “We have 29 [kids] enrolled, we have increased by 17 children since moving from PAC,” Sprik noted. She added that they currently have enough staff to accommodate 30, but the licensing they have gives them the potential for 60 child care spaces in the future.

Not to forget the original daycare centre on Hamilton St., Budz has also expanded that property. The organization purchased the lot adjacent to the daycare and had the building there, which was most recently a wine supply store, demolished on Oct. 2. The empty lot will be used as more playground space for the daycare centre.

“The need for reliable, fact-based news reporting is critical, now more than ever,” said Bob Cox, Chair of News Media Canada, the association that represents the Canadian news media industry. “Studies show that eight in 10 Canadians read a newspaper each and every week. This National Newspaper Week, we invite those readers to become advocates for the Canadian newspaper industry, and to vocalize their support for the important work being done by newspapers from coast to coast. Let’s send a message to Canadian businesses, advertisers, to all levels of government, and to newspaper journalists that newspapers matter.”

Canadians are encouraged to pick up a copy of their local newspaper or subscribe this week, to visit local businesses who

advertises in a Canadian newspaper and to show their support for the Canadian newspaper industry on social media by posting a photo of themselves with their favourite newspaper and sharing why their newspaper matters to them, using #NewspapersMatter. “ N e w s p a p e r s c a n’t thrive without our support, as readers, as business owners and as citizens,” concludes Cox. “During National Newspaper Week and every week, we need to stand up for the importance of credible, reliable journalism.”

A print and digital consumer awareness campaign supporting the work of newspapers will also run in local, regional and national newspapers across Canada.

National Newspaper Week takes place from Oct. 6 to Oct. 12.
