‘Basketball is really part of the Filipino culture’ Neepawa Filipino Basketball League tips off for another season
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
It’s fair to say the Philippines has a true passion for basketball. That passion was on full display on Sunday, Oct. 27 at the NACI gymnasium, as the Neepawa Filipino Basketball League (NFBL) kicked off its new season with opening ceremonies and a pair of games. Though some form of the league has been in operation locally since 2008, this is officially the fifth season for the NFBL since it was reorganized into its current, multi-tier configuration. The NFBL has grown into a 20 team league, with just over 300 players. It is split into a Junior Division, featuring players age 35 and under and a Senior Division for 36 and over. Both divisions consist of 10 teams, who play a schedule from October, to late March or early April. Continues to grow NFBL spokesperson Van Valdellon Afuang told the Banner & Press that while
the majority of teams in the league are local, there are outlying communities that are also involved. Clubs from Gladstone and Virden will participate this year, while teams based out of Portage la Prairie and Hamiota have also been members of the NFBL in the past. Afuang added that the start of the new season is something that everyone really looks forward to. “Basketball is really part of the Filipino culture. So we grew up and we were playing it on the streets, in school. We encourage our children to be involved in sports, specifically basketball,” noted Afuang. “Everyone is excited to see the season start up again.” An incredible atmosphere Afuang said that while the majority of teams consist of Filipino born or raised players, the league is open to anyone from anywhere, who has a love of the game. Though it was only the first day of the new season, there was still the type of raucous atmosphere in the

Neepawa business collects more accolades Farmery Brewery claims two titles at Manitoba Business Awards
By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press A Neepawa based business has taken home two top distinctions from the Manitoba Business Awards, held on Friday, Oct. 25. The event, put on annually by Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, gives businesses within Manitoba a chance for provincial recognition. Farmery Estate Brewery claimed the Outstanding Small Business Award, which is given to a business in Manitoba with less than 30 employees. Criteria for the award is based on success in company growth, advances and development within the business, which are all things Farmery continually works towards. “Our intention is to obviously grow Farmery and make it viable and relevant in the years to come. So, we’re working on a lot of stuff that I think they recognized,” said Lawrence War-

War waruk noted. One
of the things that he said makes Farmery different is that they want to make a difference in the rural communities, while the trend of late has been more and more people moving into the cities. He added that Farmery also emphasizes their rural roots by growing their own ingredients for their beers. “That really does, I think, lend itself to not only our philosophy, but to the end consumer too. More people are seeking to understand and to know where [their] product is coming from.” This has been very eventful for the brewery, which also gained recognition from winning two World Beer Awards earlier in the year, for their Great White North wheat beer and their Northern Light Lager. As well, they were approved for licensing to sell their products in Ontario in July.

Bag tree helps Country Meadows shoppers, businesses to host X-mas sale
Banner Staff Neepawa Banner & Press
The Minnedosa Fun Fest committee has found a unique way to promote local businesses, while also helping shoppers. This summer’s Street Market featured a bag tree, which offered shoppers reusable bags to use for their purchases, at no cost. The bags were donated by businesses, as well as members of the public. With the committee’s annual Christmas Craft and Gift sale coming up on Nov. 2, the committee was
looking for bags to add to those remaining from the summer. Not only is it a great way for local businesses to advertise, it’s also good for area residents who have too many bags and are looking to find a use for them. The sale will have over 40 vendors and include hourly draws and a Christmas Café. In addition to the sale, Valley Life Beginnings, a new daycare in Minnedosa, will also be doing a mini photo session fundraiser. People hoping to take part in this event need to pre-book

More important than ever
Tundra by Chad Carpenter
T
Western separation unlikely to happen, but...
I
n the days following the Oct. 21 federal election, the results graphically showed that the Liberal Party did very poorly west of the Ontario-Manitoba border. In fact, they didn’t do all that great in Quebec either. For a federal party to be shut out of Saskatchewan and Alberta states loudly that their message is not going over well in those two provinces. The Liberals also lost seats in Manitoba and B.C. The cries of western separation came out loud and clear. There are rallies and conferences planned all over Alberta to discuss the steps toward separation. The anger felt by westerners is not unfounded. The Liberals have been trying to crush the Alberta and Saskatchewan oil industry for decades. Two generations of the Trudeau family have openly expressed their disdain for western oil. Quebec refuses to allow a pipeline to the east and seems to favour Saudi oil for some strange reason. I suspect it has a lot to do with the idea that the Irving refineries are heavily invested in oil tanker ships and their refineries reportedly can’t refine oilsands oil. I don’t know for sure, but it does make sense, I guess. How all this will turn out is anybody’s guess. Alberta and Saskatchewan are pretty upset about the equalization payments going to Quebec, all the while, not being able to ship oil to that province. The rallies and conferences will be wild and woolly affairs this winter. There are some things, though, that make a person wonder. Like why does the media, and Elections Canada, allow the Bloc Quebecois to even participate in the leaders’ debates? They have no intention of being a national party, so why neepawa

Ken Waddell are they even allowed on the stage? That’s a mystery to me. Another thing is how the media can get their election coverage so wrong. Trudeau loses seats and it is called a victory. Singh loses seats and it’s called a victory. Scheer wins back more seats than either the Liberals or NDP lost and it’s called a loss. For the most part, the mainstream media has had a longstanding bias in favour of the Liberals and NDP. There are several reasons for that. One, journalism schools are geared to socialism, or at least to a strong government intervention model. They are generally opposed to people expressing their faith and would be more comfortable if “religious” people would just stay quiet. The biggest media outlets are being subsidized by government. The Liberal government put up a huge amount of money for media this year and the CBC has been receiving huge government subsidies for decades. When journalists are trained to be biased and negative and many of them know their industry depends on government hand-outs, it’s pretty tough for the “smaller government, tighter spending theories” put forward by conservatives to get a foothold. Separation isn’t likely to fly,
because Canadians are generally loyalists and the constitution doesn’t really allow for it. Manitoba premier Brian Pallister has come out against separation. He is strong in his views on that and Manitoba does get $2 billion in equalization payments, but I don’t think that is why Pallister is against separation. Hopefully, Pallister is seeing the bigger picture, whereby prairie oil could reach export markets by way of an energy/transportation corridor to the only deep sea port on the prairies, the Port of Churchill. If that corridor were to be developed, the economic development problems for all three prairie provinces might be solved. It’s a project that won’t likely see support from Quebec, but do we care? It may not make sense or be feasible for the prairies to separate, but it is time for the three prairie provinces to get their economic act together. Waiting on federal fairness has not worked for the past 150 years, so why would we wait for that to change?

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell
his week, the Neepawa Banner & Press is publishing our annual Remembrance Day feature. While we’re still about 10 days away from Nov. 11, since the feature includes information about area services, we wanted to make sure readers had plenty of time to make their plans. When I first started at the MY Banner 13 years PERSPECTIVE go, each year, we would try to find community members to interview about Kate their first-hand Jackman-Atkinson experiences. We tended to focus on World War II, but also covered those who served in the Korean and Afghan conflicts. We talked to area residents who fought on land, on the seas and in the skies and who worked for the armed forces in Canada, as part of the war effort. The stories included not only those of service people, but also those at home. We talked to those who remembered being children while Neepawa hosted pilots in training as part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan. We talked to those who remembered the anxiety at home, waiting for news, good or bad, from overseas. We talked to those who lived in Europe and remembered both occupation and liberation. When memories faded, we used interviews previously recorded as part of NACTV’s programming in order to tell people’s stories. It’s been 80 years since World War II started and each year, fewer and fewer first-hand memories remain. Over the years, I’ve seen the names of people I’ve interviewed show up in obituaries. The good news is that these people’s stories do live on. There have been official and organized efforts to document the memories and experiences of Canada’s veterans, such as Veterans’ Affairs Heroes Remember projects. In addition to those recorded in our pages, the memories have also been shared with families and friends. We also have a new source of first hand accounts, one not influenced by the filter of time. The purchase of the Neepawa Press in 2015 has given us access to a huge trove of newspapers published while Canada was at war, every time since in 1896. This year, we dove into World War II. The stories include those of heroism and loss and highlight the role those who called the Neepawa-area home played in the war effort. In 1933, the international news talks of the gathering storm, as Europe inched closer to war. The numbers are hard to grasp, the only way to understand them is to bring them down to the individual level. The stories include both the big picture headlines, the estimated 2 million Jewish people killed by the Axis before WWII had even officially started, as well as the particular, the death of one local soldier or pilot. Beyond the coverage of the major events, the war was everpresent, from obituaries, to ads for Victory Bonds. It’s something that’s hard for us to imagine. The stories include the sad and tragic, as well as the borderline humorous– one Neepawa Press reader had an idea of what should be done with Hitler once the war was won. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it and this seems especially true in today’s political climate. Across the world, we see rising levels of nationalism, we see certain groups of “others” being branding as the enemy, we see big talk and bluster from world leaders, we see lots of talk about the things that make us different instead of those that unite us. We have forgotten where these steps can lead and it’s not a place we want to go. We have become complacent, thinking that it couldn’t happen again. As the first hand memories fade, it’s more important than ever to remember.

Unsung heroes
NOVEMBER 1, 2019

ithin seven days, roughly most of the snow that fell on my yard from Oct. 11 and 12 had melted. From what I have read and heard, we were fortunate. We got less snow than other parts of the province. No trees in my yard were damaged. Our streets were sloppy, but passable, and our hydro service was not disrupted. But places within a 30 minute drive of my house were not so lucky. Road closures left thousands stranded in different parts of the province. Emergency shelters were opened in many communities. Schools were closed, planned activities were canceled and some places of business even sent their workers home early and shut down for the day. We all knew better than to tempt fate in the face of Mother Nature’s fury. But there were those among us who had to be out in the worst of the weather. They had no choice. To them and to their acts of heroism, I dedicate this column. As the sun set on Oct.
T
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein 11, one quote on Manitoba Hydro’s website revealed the ominous challenge that lay ahead: “As of noon Oct. 11, 2019, we are no longer to provide estimated times for restoration (of power service) due to the extremely high volume of calls and worsening weather conditions.” But despite the horrid conditions, Hydro crews were out in the field, locating downed lines and restoring power. They were supported by provincial and municipal road crews, often following snow plows to the site of a broken line, getting it fixed and then moving on to the next break. Service was restored one break at a time, one customer at a time. Some repairs were simple. Some will take many days before all repairs are made and service is fully
restored. Hydro and Highways crews weren’t the only ones who were out in that storm. Police and emergency services personnel were on standby. So were tow truck operators, tree cutters and heavy equipment operators. All were ready to spring into action as soon as their services were required; and they did their work well. So did home care workers, health care professionals and all others who provide regular care to those who cannot fully care for themselves. They fulfilled their obligations to the best of their abilities and for that, they deserve our gratitude and respect. Then we must not overlook the many who went out of their way to ensure that their neighbours and friends were safe. Sidewalks
were cleared, necessary supplies were picked up and those who required transportation to appointments received it. We were in this together, we stuck it out together, we looked out for each other and we survived. Every person who, in any way, helped a neighbour or friend in need during that storm is an unsung hero to someone. Your acts of kindness may not have opened miles of roads or restored hydro service to hundreds, but you made a difference in the lives of one or two people who could not help themselves. And for that, we thank you. It is often said that hard times bring out the best in people. We have certainly seen that in southern Manitoba over the past few days. My hope and prayer is that this spirit of generosity will continue. This current crisis will pass, just as previous ones have passed. But others will come in time; and then we will all have the opportunity to be an unsung hero to someone.
A ‘me’ day
he fall has been a busy season, by choice. This week, I set aside a day to get caught up with those little things we plan to do someday. I did not take long to fill my day. To be truthful, my day did not start early, or in fast forward. A second cup of coffee, a talk show and a warm white dog on my lap. Oh, and pyjamas till nearly noon. My mind was gently perking while I did nothing. There was a set of pillow protectors six inches too long for the pillows I wanted protected. Shortening them and getting them onto the pillows took 15 minutes. And they have been sitting and waiting for weeks. Through the years, I have created wool comforters. Twin size, double size, queen size. Many duvet covers have been worn thin, discarded, replaced and now, there were comforters without a cover that came

close to fitting. I found one, in remarkably good condition! A double size, and don’t you know, the double size already has a good cover. So I modified the double to a twin and won that round. In the hunting and rooting, I realized that there are a number of items that are fit only for rags. No longer needing rags here at home, out they go. My linen closet shelves heaved deep sighs of relief. End of the comforter story is that only one hand made wool comforter now needs a new cover. Much better than I had imagined. I like the look of tidy closets, so it is a winning situation. Several years ago, I bor-
rowed an electronic keyboard from my grandsons. My intentions were noble and high. Reality is that I very seldom simply sit and play, even though I resurfaced my favourite pieces. I did use the keyboard to check if a hymn I was choosing was doable. Long story short, I wanted that space for the spare table. My goals for this winter include jig saw puzzles and quilting, and a table is much more serviceable than a keyboard. Here, I enlisted the assistance of a grandchild. We dismantled the unit, carefully carried it out to the garage, where, lo and behold, a truck is stored going to the very town the
keyboard wants to go! Problem solved! And the table. It belonged to my parents, maple, jack knife leaf extension, and had been stored, used, moved and reused countless times. Just the right size. A feeling of satisfaction for repurposing and cherishing. Walked the dogs. Down east of the cemetery, happy as our feet raced through the fallen leaves. Continuing along the trail, up the 72 steps, and then, for good measure, the loop below the hospital. Taking advantage of the mild temperature and fantastic trail right outside our door. Limited days left before the snow settles in. To complete my me day, coffee with a friend. Laughter, freedom to express frustrations and fears, safety and darn good coffee! I don’t take these free days frequently. And every time I do enjoy one, I resolve to take them more often. Yes…

Observation
By Addy Oberlin he elections are over and done with. So now we can read all the complaints and disagreements with what has happened and what is still going to happen. All Canadian adults, young and old, had opportunity to present their vote in this democratic country. Maybe it did not all go as we had wished, but we are to have peace with the decisions that were made and show respect for authority, as the Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 2:1-3: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all, for kings and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” We need to pray each day that those in authority over us will seek the Lord in their decision making. We should also be very thankful that we live in a free country where we can confess and live what we believe.

D-Day at Normandy
It was my pleasure and honour to make a presentation on behalf of Virden, Legion Branch #8, to the recipient of the French Legion of Honour decoration (Knights Class). However, as I stated in my introduction, 50 years “too late,” as there are so few remaining; time and age takes its toll. At one time, I have been told, the Government of Canada did have intentions of awarding a Canadian decoration to those who were involved with Operation Neptune, as it was titled, but what happened to those plans is anyone’s guess. The French console member, Bruno Burnichon, who pinned the medal, had this to say, as he explained the decision to honour those who liberated France: “Two years ago, at one of our meetings, the question was asked, ‘What can we do ?’ I said, ‘What do we lose by giving them the highest honour? Ifwe are here today, it is because of them.’” If we are here today, “it is because of them”. Somber, grim words, indeed. Sadly, our Government of Canada hasn’t recognized “their contribution” in a similar manner; nor have they recognized the contributions of the Cold War veterans, who proudly served from 1945 to 1990. All responded to roll call when Canada needed them, but now they are forgotten. Approximately 45,000 members did not return home. “The most deadly poison of our time is indifference” – St. Maximillian Kolbe. Lest we forget ! A cold war veteran, John Fefchak (CWO. Ret.) Virden,MB

Guyana
Guyana is a small country, located in the northeastern corner of South America. Geographical regions include a narrow and swampy coastal plain, a hillier sandy region, the Rupununi Savannah and the tropical rainforests. The climate is tropical with two rainy seasons (May to August, November to January). Guyana’s rainforest is one of only a few on the planet that has not been damaged by humans. It is home to a host of deadly creatures, including electric eels, flesh eating piranhas, poison dart frogs, venomous snakes and jaguars. Guyana has several giant species: giant river otters, giant anteaters, giant lilies and the giant South American Goliath Birdeater spider. Birdlife is plentiful in the country, with some 1,600 bird species. One of Guyana’s most famous sites is Kaieteur Falls. Located in Kaieteur National Park, the single drop falls are 226 metres high, nearly five times as high as Niagara Falls. It is one of Guyana’s most popular tourist destinations, however, it is a fly-in only location. Another attraction is Shell Beach, which stretches for 145 kilometres along the Atlantic coast. From March to August, four species of marine turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. Guyana attracts just a few thousand tourists a year. If it’s an off-the-beaten-path travel adventure you seek, then Guyana is it. Guyana is the only South American nation with English as the official language, however other languages are spoken. Indigenous peoples inhabited Guyana prior to European settlement and their name for the land, guiana, “land of water”, gave the country its name. Christopher Columbus sighted the Guyana coast in 1498, but it was the Dutch who began settlement. The indigenous peoples, who did not want to work on plantations and suffered from diseases introduced by the Europeans, scattered throughout the forested interior to live in peace. The Dutch began importing slaves from West Africa to cultivate the sugarcane. In 1814, the Dutch ceded three separate colonies to the British and the three were united under one flag and renamed British Guiana. Over the years ,the fertile lands initiated a tugof-war between major powers that resulted in the creation of three separate modern-day countries: Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname. In 1966, Guyana gained independence from Britain and became a republic in 1970. Since then, the political history of the country has been stormy at times. In 1978, Georgetown Guyana became international news due to the mass murder/suicide of a religious cult group led by American sect leader, Jim Jones. Jones and his 900-strong congregation committed suicide by poisoning. Not the best way to make headlines. Guyana has many natural resources, mainly its pristine rainforests, sugarcane plantations, rice fields and gold reserves. Despite all this, Guyana remains one of the poorest countries in South America. Influenced by the Spanish, the Dutch, the British and the French during the colonial conquest, their own indigenous peoples, the African slaves and the many more that arrived on their shores, Guyana has a melting pot of cuisines. Guyanese Pepperpot is the national food of Guyana. Pepperpot is a stew made of meat (usually beef, mutton, or pork), potatoes and peppers laced with cassareep (a sauce concocted from cassava juice and spices) and served with rice or roti. With water all around, one of the staples in Guyanese cuisine is fish. All fish are used, including piranhas and vampire fish. The Guyanese are very fond of fried chicken and lucky for them, KFC is in Guyana! From the Portuguese comes garlic pork, a variety of curries from the West Indies and from China comes Guyana style chow mein. They have many street foods for snacks. With “Chicken Foot”, there is actually no chicken in this snack. These are fried strips of a dough, made with flour, curry and cumin, formed into long sticks resembling chicken feet. Methai sticks are prepared by mixing flour, sugar, butter and baking power. They are fried in oil and coated in custard powder. The most popular fast food in Guyanese cuisine is egg balls. A boiled egg is covered with a mix of boiled, mashed cassava and raw eggs, butter and pepper and then fried. This country produces a multitude of exotic fruits that we have never seen or heard of in Canada. Limes grow everywhere in Guyana and this cookie recipe features them. Enjoy. Lime cookies 2 cups white flour 1 cup white sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 tsp. grated lime zest 1/2 tsp. salt 3 Tbsp. lime juice 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 cup white sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 3/4 cup butter, slightly softened 1/4 tsp. cinnamon In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon and set aside. In a bowl, cream together butter, sugar, lime zest and lime juice until fluffy. Add flour mixture and stir to combine. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Roll the dough into 30 to 36 balls and roll in sugar mixture. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets and flatten balls with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in the sugar mix. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

Central School teachers ca. 1900: Mr. Cram, Mr. Stevenson, Miss Yemen, W.S. Shipley
By Rick Sparling Neepawa Banner & Press The Neepawa Press archives notes these milestones in the history of Neepawa’s Central School. The Neepawa Press, 1898 The town school board decided at its meeting on Monday evening last, to accept the plans and specifications prepared for the new Central School building by Messrs. Jones and Fusee. It was also decided to advertise for tenders for construction of the building according to these plans and also to offer debentures for sale. The Neepawa Press, January 1899 There was a formal opening of the new Central School on January 13th, when all parents or guardians and taxpayers were asked to inspect the new building and the teaching arrangements. A school entertainment was held in the Opera House at night. The Neepawa Press, 1906 Alterations are being made to the central school which not only add two rooms to the teaching capacity but 100 per cent to its appearance. The Neepawa Press, Friday, July 29, 1921 Renovations of the Central School are proceeding daily, but not rapidly, because of inability to induce any of the unemployed in Winnipeg to come hither to earn something. However, it is expected that new ceilings and floors, and what-
ever other repairs are to be made, will be completed in ample time for the reopening of the school. The Neepawa Press, Friday, August 9, 1940 The school board has approved of a plan submitted to them by the collegiate girls, whereby all the girl students are to wear uniforms to school this year. School opens on Sept. 3, so girls, be there wearing your navy-blue serge tunic, white cloth shirt, with black tie, black shoes and stocking.
The Neepawa Press, 1954 Neepawa Town Council at the regular meeting Monday night accepted the tender of $400 from Hiebert and Hannah of Portage la Prairie for the sale and demolition of the Central School building… The building was demolished in 1954. Memories of Central School runs every second week. If you have memories to share of Central School, please contact Rick at rickbarb@shaw.ca.

Home Improvement Increase comfort, save energy windows may only need minor repairs, upgrades, or air sealing, while others may need to be replaced entirely. If it’s time to replace the windows, consider: • window type: while fixed windows have lower air leakage and are less expensive, operable windows allow for ventilation and emergency exit; • options such as triple pane, low emissivity (low-e) coatings and insulating spacers will minimize heat loss and condensation problems; • frame materials affect the insulation value, strength, maintenance requirements, and longevity of a window and can include wood, metal, fibreglass, or PVC; • overall window Energy Rating (ER) includes heat flow, air tightness, and solar gain; a higher ER is better; • “gas fillsâ€? with inert gases, such as argon or krypton, can be used to fill the space between the glass panes to reduce heat loss; • spacers are the material that separates the panes when making a sealed glass unit; low-conductivity (warm edge) spacers keep the glass around the edges of the window warmer, reduce condensation and improve energy performance; • warranties differ from supplier to supplier and window to window; compare before you purchase.

Windows and doors can account for up to 25 per cent of total house heat loss. If they are in poor condition, they can add even more to your home’s heating and cooling bills. By repairing or replacing your windows and doors you can increase comfort by keeping out cold winter drafts and making your home more comfortable and save money as exterior doors and windows that are in poor condition can add needlessly to your home’s heating bills. In addition to these benefits, a wellexecuted door and window retrofit can improve the appearance and value of your home, reduce the potential for a condensation problem, reduce outside noise and reduce fading of furniture and carpets due to UV rays. If you are looking to upgrade windows or doors, choose products that meet ENERGY STARŽ Zone 3 requirements, which are best suited for our climate. Windows Check the condition of your windows to determine if they should be repaired or replaced. They should open and close easily. Check the condition of the panes of glass, frames and hardware.

If you plan an extensive project of sealing, caulking and weatherstripping, ensure your home has an adequate ventilation system. Contact a professional HVAC contractor to accurately assess your ventilation system.
Doors Inspect your doors for ease of operation, excessive warpage or rot and the condition of any glass inserts. If the door is in reasonable condition, it may be more cost effective to repair any defects and seal the door against air leakage than it is to replace it. However, replacing doors can improve the appearance and security of your home. To improve the energy efficiency of existing doors: â&#x20AC;˘ caulk all gaps between the trim and wall to reduce air leakage; â&#x20AC;˘ ensure weatherstripping is flexible and properly located to reduce air leakage; â&#x20AC;˘ install door bottom seals or sweeps on doors with no existing bottom weatherstripping. When replacing doors consider: â&#x20AC;˘ doors that meet ENERGY STARÂŽ Zone 3 requirements; â&#x20AC;˘ wood, vinyl, fibreglass, or thermally broken metal frames; â&#x20AC;˘ good quality weatherstripping; â&#x20AC;˘ glazing with low-e and an inert gas fill.

Neepawa Farmers win home opener Tiger Hills Hockey League season gets underway
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
The Neepawa Farmers got off to a bit of a sluggish start in the first two periods of their home opener for the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) regular season. Fortunately, the team more than made up for that in the third period, on the way to a 7-3 win over the Pilot Mound Pilots. The game was played on Friday, Oct. 25, at the Yellowhead Arena in Neepawa. For the opening period, it was Pilot Mound who appeared to have all the momentum, outshooting Neepawa 6-2 in the first five minutes of action. One of those shots appeared to be a goal by the Pilots on a power-play. After a referees’ conference at centre ice, however, that apparent goal was waved off, as the play was whistled dead, just before the puck passed the goal line. Pilot Mound would make up for that by scoring a pair a little later in the first, to take an early lead. Neepawa’s Ben Rainka would score just before the end of the first period, making it 2-1 for the Pilots. Dawson Waddell and Matt Lowry assisted on the goal. In the second period, it would be Pilot Mound collecting the next goal, as Brett Pinkerston scored on a short-handed chance, just 8:27 into the middle frame. That third Pilots’ goal seemed to spark Neepawa’s competitive fire, as they started pushing back hard for a goal of their own. They’d find it relatively quickly, as Rainka picked up his second of the night on a power-play. Bret Levandoski and Kyle MacDonald

picked up the helpers on this one. Then, just before the end of the second, Lowry tied things up at 3-3. Robby Moar and Lance Nugent had the assists. In the third, it was all Farmers, as the team scored four unanswered goals, to put the game away. Nugent and Lowry both ended up with a pair in the final 20 minutes, to seal the win for the home side. Layne Anderson earned the win in net for Neepawa, while

NACI advances to Murray Black Cup Tigers defeat Moosomin in Rural Manitoba Football League semi-final
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
The Neepawa Tigers are one step away from claiming the Rural Manitoba Football League’s (RMFL) Murray Black Cup, after scoring an impressive 61-20 win over the Moosomin Generals. The game, which was played in Neepawa on Saturday, Oct. 26, proved to be a real offensive showcase for the Tigers, both in the air and on the ground. Quarterback Ward Brister went 7-for-14 in passing, with five of those completions going for touchdowns. Braden Haslen caught three of those scores (45, 41 and 50 yard TD catches), while Ryan Bellisle wrangled one touchdown and a two-point conversion. The other touchdown was caught by Rylan Bradley, who also collected a two-point conversion. The Tigers also came up big on the ground, with Conner Kasprick rushing eight times for 166 yards, including a 50, 85 and two yard TD run. Robby Salta also contributed, with eight rushes for 56 yards. The NACI defence did its part to ensure victory as well, with three sacks, a fumble recovery and three interceptions. Two of those three picks were made by Haslen, who turned one of them into a 100 yard touchdown reception. Angelo Verbo had
the other INT. Riley Neufeld, meanwhile, had 11 tackles and a pair of sacks. In the other semi-final game, the Dauphin Clippers defeated ParkWest 18-16. The Murray Black Cup final will now be played on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 2:00 pm in Neepawa, and will feature the NACI Tigers facing the Dauphin Clippers. On the Doug Steeves side of the playoffs, Swan Valley defeated Virden 28-6 and SouthWest upset Interlake 35-34, to set up the championship on Saturday, Nov. 2 in Swan River. NACI Tigers game statistics Offence: Passing - Brister (7-for-14; five touchdowns, 272 yards). Receiving - Haslan (four receptions, three TDs, 139 yards); Bellisle (two receptions, one TD, 125 yards); Bradley (one catch, one TD, eight yards); Guilbert (one 2-point conversion catch).

Michael Philippot, of the Canadian Animal Blood Bank in Winnipeg, was present to draw blood from a number of dogs, whose owners had pre-booked. The animals did not experience any discomfort during the procedure and received treats and a bandana afterwards. The donations were delivered to the blood bank for use in future surgical veterinary operations.

One reason the Neepawa United Church brought this display into its foyer was to give people a glimpse of what life was like for the students of the Residential School in Brandon through photographs. Another reason the church is hosting this display is to share why the United Church of Canada apologized for their part in Canadian Residential Schools. When the schools first started, the government asked Anglican, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic and Methodist churches to run the schools, however, in 1925, the United Church took over 16 of the schools for the Methodist and Presbyterian churches. In addition to photographs, the display features lots of information, including a map of all the Canadian Residential Schools (above left), copies of the United Church’s official apology to the First Nations and stories from those who attended a Residential School.
RCMP arrest male for multiple offences Submitted RCMP Media Release On Oct. 25, at approximately 8:10 p.m., Amaranth RCMP received a call from a concerned citizen reporting a dangerous driver on Highway 16, near Highway 50. The caller advised that she was driving west on Highway 16 when she noticed an eastbound vehicle driving dangerously and swerving all over the road. The caller pulled onto the shoulder to avoid the vehicle, however, the east-
bound vehicle continued towards her, which forced her to drive into the ditch. The suspect vehicle then drove to a residence along Highway 16. The driver of the vehicle exited and approached the homeowner, pointed a firearm in his direction and stole his truck. The suspect then drove the stolen truck into a ditch, got stuck, at which time the driver and passenger fled on foot. Amaranth RCMP, who were en route to the erratic driver call, as well as Police Dog Services, immediately

Rotator cuff injuries
By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor The rotator cuff of the shoulder is made of four muscles that attach onto the humerus from the scapula (the shoulder blade). Their main purpose is to stabilize the shoulder joint and scapula and help you move your arm at the shoulder joint. This group of muscles is often injured at its insertion on the arm, where they join together. Cuff tears are the most common shoulder disease in patients with shoulder problems and is prevalent in 21 per cent of the general population and estimated to affect 50 per cent of people over 50 years old. These statistics make cuff injuries a very common presentation in my office. Rotator cuff tendinitis and tears Tendinitis: A tendinitis injury is due to overuse of the muscle, repetitive micro injuries, or secondary to trauma. The junction of the muscle tendon to the humerus bone gets inflamed and irritated, causing stiffness, pain, loss of joint motion and joint crepitus. Tears: There are two
types of rotator cuff tears: full thickness and a partial thickness tear. A partial tear occurs when one of the muscles is partially torn and a full thickness tear occurs when a tear occurs through the whole muscle attachment or it gets pulled off of the bone. Acute tears most commonly are caused when a fall occurs with an outstretched arm and the ball of the humerus forcefully stretches the rotator cuff. Chronic tears come from repetitive actions, like throwing a ball, rotation of the arm and overhead work that can cause fraying and damage to the muscle overtime. Often inactivity and age leads to muscle wasting and the odds of injury increases.
Symptoms Symptoms of a rotator cuff injury include: 1. Trouble lifting your arm forward or to the side. 2. Give away weakness when using the arm. 3. Pain around the shoulder joint, mainly on the side. 4. Clicking or popping when moving your arm. 5. Trouble sleeping on your shoulder. 6. Pain stretching your arm
across your chest. 7. Acute pain and swelling.

This is often Treatment of a rotator suggested if the injury is cuff injury always starts with interfering with sleep and
causing a lot of pain. The research shows that often injections provide temporary relief and should be used conservatively, as they can contribute to weakening of the tendon. Surgery: Full thickness tears and some partial tears require surgery. There are three main surgical procedures, including: open repair, arthroscopic repair and mini-open repair. The choice of surgery largely depends on degree of the tear and the structural integrity of the joint. Your surgeon will discuss what option is best for you. Surgery is usually a quick procedure and you will be home the same day. The rotator cuff is a common muscle group to get
injured. Overuse or trauma can cause damage to the muscles and result in a lot of shoulder pain. If you are worried about a rotator cuff injury, visit our office for an evaluation and a receive a treatment plan that will help your shoulder. We will be able to determine if you need a surgical consult or if you are a candidate for conservative care. Activity fact: Factors that increase your chances of having a rotator cuff tear include: being male, having a job that requires repetitive physical work, age and if you have arthritis in your shoulder.

Obituary Ruth Adeline Mauthe With her husband John and daughter Joanne by her side, Ruth Adeline Mauthe (Single) passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019 at Third Crossing Manor in Gladstone. Adeline was born on March 28th, 1930 on the family farm at Waldersee. Mom was blessed to be a part of a family of 13 siblings, so life was never boring. She attended Cory School, which was across the road from the farm. So, no excuse that you couldn’t make it to school! On October 24th, 1948, John and Adeline were married and began their life together. They worked hard at farming to provide for their family. Mom loved gardening and preserving food for the winter. She also took delight in her flowers and there were always many to admire! She worked alongside Dad, whether it was milking cows, gathering the eggs or driving the tractor and binder. She was active in the community, being part of Ladies Ministry at church, and was a leader for 4-H Garden and Sewing Clubs. She passed her gardening, sewing and knitting skills down to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. In fact, she continued to knit until only recently. Mom and Dad also enjoyed their many years of bowling. In May of 2016, due to Adeline’s health, Mom and Dad moved from the farm to Plumas. Then, in Oct. of 2018, they moved to Centennial Apts. in Gladstone. Mom became a resident of Third Crossing Manor in Dec. 2018. Adeline was predeceased by her parents, 9 siblings and son-in-law Ron Fehr. She is survived by her husband John; daughters Carol Mauthe, Joanne Fehr, Alice Mauthe, Sally Rossnagel; and son Larry Mauthe; Joanne’s children: Shelley (Brian) Hamm, Jennifer (Murray) Hiebert, Michael (Janice) Fehr and great grandchildren Joshua, Natasha, Lauren, Nahum, Caleb and Jocelyn. She is also survived by sisters Martha, Erna, Elsie and brother Alfred, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Her family extends heartfelt thanks to the TCM staff and Dr. Laurelyn Juadiong for their kind, compassionate care. Their dedication is much appreciated. Funeral Service was held on Saturday, October 26, 2019 at the Christ Lutheran Church, Waldersee with Interment in the Waldersee Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Seven Regions Health Foundation (to go towards Third Crossing Manor Courtyard Fund) or to a charity of one’s choice.

Obituary Ruth Eveline Mulligan
With family by her side, Ruth Eveline Mulligan, of McCreary, MB, passed away at Ste. Rose Hospital on Friday October 18, 2019, at the age of 78 years.
Ruth was born December 2, 1940 to Jim and Mary (Walker) Whyte on their farm, in what was known as the Glencairn District, now McCreary Municipality. Ruth was the 2nd of 4 children. Ruth attended Turtle Plains School, finishing her High School at McCreary, followed by Business School in Winnipeg. On September 28, 1958, Ruth married Melvin Marshall and they had 4 children; Kim, Rory, Darcy and Trudi. Their time together included living and working in McCreary, Ethelbert and Edmonton, before purchasing the Reeve Store in 1963. Following Melvin’s passing, Ruth married Roy Mulligan on December 2, 1978, combining their families to include Roy’s children, Ron, Charlotte and Crystal. They began their life together on “the farm” 10 miles East of McCreary and as a family, developed it into a beautiful homestead. Many hours were spent maintaining the lawn and large garden, as their yard was a huge source of pride / badge of honour. In the summer of 2012, they moved into their house in McCreary and continued the pattern of pride of ownership. With the help of many family and community members, they had an instant lawn and always were seen outside planting, watering and maintaining their new home. Ruth’s working career included being the PostMaster at Reeve, working at the Post Office in McCreary and then working at the Royal Bank in McCreary for over 30 years. After working full days, she still would work deep into the night baking, cooking and canning and providing for her family and friends. Ruth was fun loving, outgoing, forthright and determined. She loved to dance, play ball, curl and her sharp mathematical mind allowed her to excel during her working career and at playing cards. Ruth enjoyed life to the fullest and never backed down from a challenge or project - always finding a way to get things done. She was dedicated to her family, employers and her community. She was known to be a great hostess for any family, extended family and community gatherings.
Ruth was predeceased by her parents, her first husband Melvin Marshall, second husband Roy Mulligan, and son Ron Mulligan. She leaves to mourn her passing her children and their families: Kim Vandaele (Cal, Andrea Wales, Devon and Ella Heil, Brock, Sabrina and Nash Wales) ,Rory Marshall (Bev, Harley, Kassidy, Finley and Roman Marshall, Jay Marshall and Melissa Marchi), Monique Mulligan (Cody, Beth and Willow Mulligan, Katie Mulligan and Theodore Funk), Darcy Marshall (Lori, Bryce Marshall and Samantha Langer, Erika and Luke Marshall), Charlotte Delaurier (Todd, Cole, Tiffany, Charlee and Jameson Delaurier, Maggi Delaurier and Devan Decroliere), Trudi Musgrave (Vince, Chandler, Gina and Liam Musgrave), Crystal Ryzner (Chad Ryzner) and her constant companion Paddy dog. Her siblings Jean Buchanan, Betty (Mervin) Dunning, Allan (Joan) Whyte, their children, grandchildren and numerous friends. Funeral Service was held Saturday, October 26, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. at the McCreary Community Centre, McCreary, MB. Norma Windle officiated, with interment following in the McCreary Municipal Cemetery. Music provided by Wendy Williams. Pallbearers were Ruth’s grandsons: Brock Wales, Cody Mulligan, Cole Delaurier, Harley Marshall, Jay Marshall, Bryce Marshall, Chandler Musgrave, Luke Marshall and Liam Musgrave. Poem “To Those I Loved and Those Who Loved Me” read by Ruth’s granddaughters: Andrea Wales, Katie Mulligan, Maggi Delaurier, Erika Marshall and Gina Musgrave. Eulogy provided by Ruth’s children: Kim Vandaele, Rory Marshall, Darcy Marshall and Charlotte Delaurier. Poem “The Rose Beyond the Wall” read by Ruth’s children: Trudi Musgrave and Crystal Ryzner. The family would like to thank Norma Windle for officiating the service, Wendy Williams for providing the music, McCreary Legion Branch 173 and the McCreary Hall Committee for catering lunch following the service. A special thank you to all the staff at the Ste. Rose Hospital, Ryan Raffray of Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Services and all of our family and friends for their support during this time.

Dorothy was born in Gladstone on August 3, 1920. At an early age, they moved to Arden, where she went to school. After school, she went to Vancouver, to explore life. After a short stay there, she moved back to Manitoba and resided at Dauphin, where she was employed at the Dauphin Herald. Then she went to Winnipeg, where she got a job with the government. Dorothy retired in 1986. She moved to Neepawa, where she would be closer to family. She was predeceased by her mother Mary Ann McConeghy, brothers Bob and Morris, nieces Melveen, Elaine, nephew Bobby and great-niece Angela. Left to mourn are her sister Edythe and many nieces and nephews. Funeral service was held on Thursday, October 17 at the Riverside cemetery, with Rita Friesen officiating. White's Funeral Home was in care of arrangements.
Ernest Robert Millan October 16, 2019 marked the passing of Ernest Robert Millan, following a lengthy illness. Ernest was born in McCreary, Manitoba, June 10, 1937, the eldest son of Steve and Mary Millan. Ernest attended school in McCreary and remained on the farm until 1979. Ernest was a young teenager when he started working for the railroad, lifting track. Being a very hard worker and a quick study, he soon was put in charge of the heavy equipment used to lift the rails and compact the rock for the ties. After a few years, he started working construction in many northern communities. As construction was seasonal, he was hired on to haul freight across the frozen Northern Manitoba lakes in the winters. He was still a teenager when he was promoted to Swing Boss of crews. When the contractor decided to change from cat trains to rubber tired trucks, Ernest decided it was time to leave that job. After leaving the farm, Ernest moved to Neepawa and worked at the Neepawa and Area Collegiate Institute as custodian until he retired. He continued to live in Neepawa until he passed away, spending the last 2 years of his life at Country Meadows Personal Care Home. Ernest is pre-deceased by his Father, Stephen Lucien Millan and his Mother, Mary Millan (nee Sul), and a sister Shirley, who passed at a very young age. Ernest is survived by his long time friend Eva Beere (Neepawa); his older sister Gladys Longmuir (Ray Longmuir), of Warman, Saskatchewan; and younger siblings Allen (BettyAnn) of Okotoks, Alberta; Murray (Darlene) McCreary; Valerie (Neepawa); Norm (Calgary);Garth (Frances Reeves), Hornby Island BC; Gerry (Calgary), and Quentin (McCreary). Also numerous nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. Ernest is remembered as a strong, capable, honest, hard working individual. He often said, “You have to learn to try anything and if you don’t put your money in the bank, you will spend it and you won’t have it.” Ernest’s family thanks the staff at Country Meadows Personal Care Home for all of their support and for the excellent care they provided. Ernest’s wishes were to be cremated with no services. His ashes will remain in a niche in Neepawa. The family will honour his requests.
Thank You The family of Ruth Adeline Mauthe thank the many family and friends for their condolences on her recent passing. We appreciate your expressions of sympathy, loving thoughts and prayers, flowers received or donations made. Heartfelt thanks to Third Crossing Manor staff, Dr. Laurelyn Juadiong, home care workers, pallbearers, Pastor Jim & Hilde Vickers and ladies who provided lunch. Special thank you to Clarke's Funeral Home for your compassionate care shown in making all arrangements. “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.” Psalm 23: 1,2 John Mauthe & family
The family of Dorothy O'Donnell would like to thank Dr. Krzyzaniak and Dr Cram for their care of Dorothy. To the staff of Country Meadows for passionate and wonderful care. To Rita Friesen for her lovely servies and to the UCW women for the lunch. I would like to thank Kelli’s children Kassidy, Kammi, Jacey, Joey, Juli and Kardy for their many visits. Dorothy enjoyed them so much. Thanks to the neigbours that were so super to her. She was blessed to have you. To White's Funeral Home for their excellent service. The Dixon Family

Banner & Press Five tips for getting home buying done right By Carla Staresina Canada Mortgage and housing Corporation Few events in life are as significant as walking through the door of your new home for the first time. Are you prepared? Do you fully know what you’re getting into? CMHC recently did a survey of more than 2,500 prospective home buyers – 60 per cent of them first time buyers – to shed some light on their thoughts, behaviours and actions. From our results, we’ve gleaned five tips to help you make a smooth transition to homeownership. Tip #1: Pre-qualify for a mortgage first and then start
house hunting. According to the survey results, many homebuyers pre-qualify for a mortgage well after they begin the house hunting process. The risk here is that you might find your ideal home only to discover you can’t qualify for the mortgage. To avoid disappointment, pre-qualify first and then start house hunting with clearly defined expectations. Tip #2: Understand the opportunities and risks of home equity lines of credit. You should also know that if you have a down payment
of more than 20 per cent, your bank will likely offer you a home equity line of credit (HELOC) linked to your mortgage. Be sure to understand both the opportunities and risks to your long-term financial well-being that come with HELOC products. Tip #3: Find out if you’re financially ready to own a home. One third of first-time buyers admit they don’t have a good understanding of the full cost of homeownership. Owning a home goes well beyond the mortgage payments. Property taxes, condo fees, utilities and maintenance costs all
need to be factored in. CMHC’s Homebuying Step by Step gives you access to calculators, checklists and an online workbook to help you find out if you’re financially ready to own a home.
Tip #4: Make sure you’ve got a home that meets your needs without compromising your financial situation. More than 90 per cent of surveyed first time buyers plan to spend the maximum amount they can afford on their new home. Buying a home is a complex decision with many considerations, including the neighbourhood, the lot and the size and type of home. At the end of
the day, you want to make sure you’ve got a home that meets your needs without compromising your financial situation.
Tip #5: Set aside 5 per cent of your income as an emergency fund to be ready – just in case. Good planning can help you prepare for unexpected costs, but no one has a crystal ball. Almost four in 10 of those surveyed say they’re either uncertain or unlikely to have a financial buffer should they face surprise costs. To give yourself some peace of mind, it’s good practice to set aside five per cent of your income as an emergency
fund to be ready – just in case. The process can be overwhelming but seeking the advice you need, arming yourself with the right tools and asking the right questions will help you feel comfortable both in your decision and your new home. Consult CMHC’s Homebuying Step by Step for more information.

Government grant to help local TV station NACTV receives funds from Local Journalism Initiative
By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press Neepawa Area Community Television (NACTV) has received a boost from a government project aiming to help supply underserved communities with civic journalism. Local Journalism Initiative (LJI) is a program launched by News Media Canada and the Government of Canada to help local news organizations hire a reporter to provide more local civic news stories and programming to communities. Rrain Prior, NACTV board secretary, noted that they only found out about this initiative a couple months ago. “It’s been a very fast process,” she said. “Usually, you hear about grants like the year before and you start preparing for them and this one happened very quickly.” Prior explained that the grant must be used to employ a journalist that will cover local civic matters, such as council meetings in the area, school board meetings and other happenings going on in the community. “It’s just a wonderful opportunity. NACTV has always run on a shoestring budget and we rely on community volunteers for all of our content. And in the last while, we really have been trying to get the local news content out there... This gives us the opportunity to get a journalist employed by
the station to really get those kind of stories about the community and out to the community,” Prior said. The board found out that they had been approved for the LJI grant a few weeks ago and are now in the process of looking for a journalist to hire. “The grant is specifically for a professional journalist, so we’re looking for either someone who has an education in journalism– maybe they’re looking for the first job but they have that degree– or they have experience in journalism, like professional experience working as a journalist,” Prior explained, adding, “The grant is really partly about making good jobs for journalists available and partly for making sure those journalists can come to these smaller communities.” For the grant application, the board had to explain why they need a journalist, how long they want to employ one, the amount of hours the journalist would generally work and if there is any equipment they would need to supply for the journalist to do their work effectively. “[The grant administrators] do some calculations from there to see what we would be awarded for that. I don’t actually know the dollar amount exactly, but it is enough to sustain a journalist for 17 months,” Prior noted. Along with hiring a journalist, part of the criteria for grant recipients is that they develop some new programming. “There’s a minimum amount of new programming
Harvest while the sun shines
that will be produced each week and the grant is for 17 months, so this is going to be over a year of content that we’re getting out of this,” said Prior. “And part of the process of having this journalist is sort of a training period, with us and also the other recipients of the grant getting together and doing some one-on-one sessions and really developing what this new content will look like. So it may not all just be on the NACTV station; a lot of it may be through the website as well, there’s an option of doing things like podcasts. So it’s sort of in development right now, we’re really excited to have a lot of possibilities about where this can go.” The LJI grant is administered through five different organizations for different modes of media, such as television, radio and several varieties of print. NACTV is receiving their grant through the Canadian Association of Community Television Users and Stations (CACTUS). Prior noted there are about 20 other recipients she’s heard of across the country. There is still time to submit an application for the LJI grant, the deadline for submissions is Nov. 15. Anyone who is involved with a local media organization and would like to apply for a grant, visit nmc-mic.ca/lji for details on eligibility and how to apply.

SuSan DraySon DONOR SPOTLIGHT
Susan Drayson has supported the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation since before it even existed. A member of the group that established the foundation, Drayson and her late husband, Elgin, have supported the foundation in numer- Susan Drayson and ous ways over the years. “It’s the commu- the late Elgin Drayson nity supporting itself for the future,” she said of the Foundation. From individual donations, to family funds, to memorial contributions, to donations of an event’s excess funds, “There are so many different ways to contribute,” said Drayson. “It doesn’t need to be a big amount, other [donations] can generate more and more,” she added. “When you look at what has been achieved, it’s mind-boggling,” said Drayson of the Foundation’s success. Though no longer actively involved, she continues to follow the organization’s growth, as well as supporting it through donations, in particular as a way to memorialize those who have passed. “It’s a vehicle to honour someone,” she explained.
“It’s the community supporting itself for the future”

Neepawa Banner & Press
T h e r e w e r e m a ny casualties during World War II (WWII)– both civilian and soldiers. According to the Banner & Press’ archives for 1945, Sgt. George S. Thomas– son of Mr. and Mrs. George Thomas, of Neepawa– was accidentally killed overseas. Born in Neepawa on Dec. 12, 1916, Sgt. Thomas was employed with the C.N.R. and the Neepawa Power Plant, following his education in town. On Sept. 5, 1939– two days after the official start of WWII, he enlisted with the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders, training at Shilo and Quebec. In 1940, he went overseas on Christmas Day. During the raid on Dieppe in Aug., 1942, he had the distinction of leading the section that penetrated farthest into France, and helped to shoot up a German battery on the road. During that time, Sgt. Thomas held the rank of Lance Corporal. He was married in England on Jan. 20, 1944, to

Interviewing Vernon Lyle Mc K i n non, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie McKinnon, who served two months in various German Prison camps, a person can understand the feelings, the bravery and the anxiety that the boys have undergone and displayed during the European war. Vernon’s story is no doubt similar to others, filled with many exciting moments. Serving on H a l i f a x b omb er s as a bombardier F.O., McKinnon was listed as missing last spring, the first bit of hopeful news coming some time later from one of the crew that had arrived back in England. Later, he was reported prisoner, and on Apr. 29, was liberated by the Third Army. His story follows: On his third trip over enemy territory, Vernon experienced his first close call, the plane that he was serving in, running into bombs from another Allied plane. Two of the bombs tore through their plane, a thousand pounder between the two port motors and a five hundred pounder through the tail assembly. Due to the combined efforts of the crew, the plane crippled back to safety, the skipper being awarded the D. F. C. and the engineer the D. F. M. Thirty more raids took place over many of the larger German cities before the Halifax was put out of service.Participating

Two of the crew bailed out over target, the remainder carrying on. The tail assembly was badly shot up and the mid-upper gunner was badly wounded. A cannon shell exploded in the nose immediately below Vernon and the navigator. In addition to putting 27 fragment holes in the navigator’s leg and 5 in McKinnon’s, the blast sealed the hatch that most of the crew would use for bailing out.

The plane went out of control just about five miles from the city of Worms and about fifteen minutes flying time from their own lines. It was about 11:30 at night when Vernon jumped out into the darkness from a height of 7,000 feet. The first thing he noticed was the opening shock, then the painful quiet that surrounded him. Coming down, he could not see the ground and was filled with anxiety as to when he would hit it and what would be there to meet him.

Out with cameras, F/Lieut. W.N. (Bill) Harris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ainsley Harris, formerly of Springhill, gave valuable aid to the Allies in the Normandy invasion and in the fight against rocket bombs. Holder of the D.F.C. for the reconnaissance work over Norway, Harris was the pilot of a camera equipped Mosquito taking photographs of enemy installations. He has flown approximately 1,000 hours and on four occasions brought his plane home on one engine. He has completed two tours of operations in three years overseas. Taking to the air despite low clouds he carried out the first reconnaissance made on enemy railway lines on D-Day, taking pictures of every station and every train for a certain distance behind the enemy lines. The pictures brought back revealed to the Allied commanders the lack of German opposition and helped them in planning their next moves. Last August, Harris was on a mission to the Nazi rocket bomb citadel on the Peenemude Isthmus, where the Nazis established an experimental base housing at one time between three and four thousand scientists who worked on developing the rocket bombs. Just as their cameras started to operate, a Focke Wulfe showed up on Harris’ tail. He opened up his throttle and cork-screwed off toward the south, and in a few minutes found himself over Stetin and all their heavy flak opened up on him. The fighter wouldn’t follow through the flak and they managed to get home without any more trouble. Born at Springhill, he was educated there and at Neepawa as well as the General Wolfe school in Winnipeg,

asked and answered by many people through daily papers recently. Each one has given his own idea of what punishment would be inflicted if he had the opportunity of handing it out; all of which is interesting. But one local resident has come forward with a novel suggestion which we think is the best one offered yet. It is: That Hitler be taken over to the hot desert sands of North Africa, stripped naked, bound securely to a stake driven into a large anthill, and let the ants go to work on him.”

Continued from Page 2 Suddenly the ground came up and hit him hard, spraining the one good leg. Picking himself up, he at once began to look for the wounded gunner (who passed away in a hospital the next day) but could not find any trace of him. Despite the sprained ankle and the wounded leg, he walked until 3 a.m., then laid up until 6 o’clock. At 6 o’clock, he started out again and went on until noon, when he was picked up by the enemy. Taken to Mitteldeutsch, he was photographed and gave his identity, then [ he wa s] t r a nspor ted around Germany, finally landing at [the] Frankfort interrogation centre. Here, he spent five days in solitary conf inement, seeing no one, and talking to no one, the enemy trying to obtain information from him. The food wasn’t good here, but it was enough for him to live on, the confinement hurting the most. His next move was to Wetzlar for a two day stay to pick up Red Cross clothing, then on to Stalag 3. A fter t hree weeks internment at Stalag 3, they marched for sixteen days with full pack to Stalag 7, at Moosburg. Food was better on the
march than in camp. Late in the evening of April 8th, the boys in the prison could hear the roar of of the Allied guns and see the flashes in the distance. They were filled with anxiety and hope, and about 8 o’clock in the morning saw their liberators storm the camp. The river Danube ran along one side of the camp and the Germans managed to blow up one of the bridges, but the third army crossed the other and liberated the camp at 12:35. T he pr isoner s were given all the Red Cross food available and some army food. This was the f irst time Vernon had seen real white bread since leaving Canada. He remained in the camp until VE-Day, then he was taken to a nearby aerodrome and flown to England. “If it hadn’t been for the Red Cross,” Vernon told us, “many of the boys wouldn’t be here today. It was a marvellous organization, and everything we got, games, reading material, clothing and food, we got from them.” Returning to Winnipeg Tuesday morning, F.O. McKinnon will receive an additional medical and may go to the Pacific as a volunteer.

Lest We Forget
NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS ARCHIVES
Although World War II officially started in 1939, trouble in Germany– particularly for her Jewish residents– and the surrounding areas began years earlier. AntiSemitic sentiments, myths and stereotypes were already present prior to World War I (WWI), and had grown further during WWI times. This paved the way for the tragedies of the Holocaust, which would result in the persecution and death of an estimated 17 million Jewish people and others, in total. The above news snippets are all occurrences from the first few months of 1933. “Remember Our Heroes”

Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, former Nazi Concentration Camp in Poland, is a holocaust memorial site. Inside, the atrocious acts of Hitler’s fascist regime and those lost to it are remembered. The museum contains many items, including items confiscated at Auschwitz– which had been found after liberation. In one room, part of the Shoah exhibition, is an unimaginably large book. Printed on the front is “Księga Imion”– The Book of Names. Inside, the names of those murdered in camps during the Holocaust are inscribed as an eternal memorial. The book contains 4.2 million names. At the opening of the Shoah exhibit in 2018, Israel President Reuven Rivlin– who was present there– shared some words following the March of the Living.

help; if it had not found a fertile ground of hatred for Jews, in which to take root. True, it was Germany that established the Camps, but our People were not murdered only in the camps. The members of our nation were betrayed by the people amongst whom they lived… Germany did not purchase the forgiveness of the Jews, just as no nation can legislate their forgetting. For no legislation can cover over the blood. No selfinterest can cover over antisemitism, racism, hatred of the other… But those who are willing to bravely look straight into their past, those who are willing to bravely deal with the antisemitism and the racism that continue to raise their heads even today will find in us allies, determined, true partners to pave the way that leads from remembrance to the future…” According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, a recorded 6 million Jewish people and 11 million others were murdered by the Nazis and their supporters. However, it is impossible to know a true count of those killed both inside and outside the camps throughout the duration of the Holocaust.

Remembering the Christie Pits riot
By Cassandra Wehrhahn
Neepawa Banner & Press
Anti-semitic rhetoric and discrimination– both openly spoken and relayed through veiled or more subtle terms– played a key role in the tragedies of the holocaust that would unfold overseas, and the years leading up to it. However, discriminatory ideals or ways of thinking are not bound by a nation’s borders. At home in Canada, anti-semitism was rearing its head more prominently. Some incidents would be recorded in brief in the Neepawa Press archives. One such passage would appear in the Aug. 18, 1933 edition of the paper, just seven months after Hitler took over as Germany’s chancellor. The passage reads: “A large Swastika emblem painted on a white quilt and displayed on the side of a hill was the signal for a wild riot between Jewish and Gentile youths, in which approximately 10,000 persons took part in Willowvale Park, near Toronto, on Wednesday night.” This clash would later be known as a significant event in Canadian, specifically Torontarian, history– The Christie Pits riot.
Before the riot Hitler’s rise to power was regularly chronicled in Canadian papers; and an air of anti-semitism and resentment for any “foreigners” was present. It was no secret what significance the swastika holds as a symbol of hatred. Reports were printed and readily available, detailing how Jewish people were being dismissed as lawyers, doctors, professors and more in Germany, as well as acts of violence against them. Additionally, the KKK– a whitesupremacist group– were already active in areas of Canada as well, such as southern Ontario. According to Toronto newspaper The Star, “anti-Semitism was a boorish and normal part of Toronto life.” In fact, many businesses, such as summer resorts, banned Jewish people. Attempts were also made to ban Jewish people from public beaches, but failed. Then anti-Jewish gangs were formed, including the Swastika Club. As recalled in The Star, many Swastika Club members slinked around at beaches and parks, picking targets and boldly displaying the
white-supremacist symbol to intimidate Jewish patrons. Mass anti-fascist protests were carried out by Jewish Canadians at The Beaches. These protests were met with white-supremacist counter protestors from the Swastika Club. According to a passage in The Province from Aug. 2, 1933, the anti-semites attempted to claim that their
leadership of the Swastika Club was now participating in meetings for the Kitchener Swastika Club, where an openly anti-Semitic agenda was pursued. That same day, a quarterfinals baseball game was being held at Christie Pits– then known as Willowvale Park–between two local clubs, Harbord Playground,
NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS ARCHIVES, AUG. 18, 1933
actions “had nothing to do with Hitler” and that they “simply wanted to keep the beach clean.” The Canadian Jewish Congress held meetings with city officials and the leadership of the Swastika Club in an attempt to have the Swastika Club members cease the anti-Semitic activities and disband. Details relayed in the Windsor Star on Aug. 14– two days before the riot– stated that a stalemate had been reached, and the
which consisted predominantly of Jewish and Italian players; and the St. Peter’s Church, a Catholic church at Bathurst and Bloor. A group of people in attendance of the game made a bold and disquieting move to wave a white t-shirt with a black swastika sewn into it. The rest of the night was tense, and police were warned in writing that trouble might arise at the next game as a result of anti-Semitic actions. However, those warnings
were reportedly ignored.
The Riot On Aug. 16, it was time for the second game. According to the book, The Riot of Christie Pitts, the six hour riot broke out after members of the Pit Gang (Swastika Club) displayed a blanket with a large swastika painted on it. Upon seeing the whitesupremacist symbol, a number of Jewish boys and young men that were aware of the previous incident– including Italians who supported the Jewish folks– rushed the Swastika to destroy it. Other supporters in the surrounding area came to help. Unfortunately, the same was said for the anti-semitic gang and a fight broke out as a result. According to an account from the Toronto Daily Star, a crowd of 10,000 people were drawn to Willowvale Park by the commotion, which included cries of “Heil Hitler” by the swastika flyers and their supporters. The Riot of Christie Pitts states that though there were injuries as a result of the conflict, there were no deaths. Following the event, police received criticism for not
being ready to intervene, as they had been for other previous potential problems in the Beach area. William James Stewart, mayor at the time, also warned against further displays of the swastika and there were no further riots in the area. However, the riot had fully revealed the xenophobic attitudes towards Jewish people and other non-Anglo Canadians, such as those of Italian ethnicity. In 1933, Jewish people represented the largest minority in Toronto, and as such were a common target of xenophobic residents. According to The Star, the Christie Pitts riot was Toronto’s first and largest ethnically based riot. A Heritage of Toronto plaque was installed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the riot in Aug., 2008. “Although history never repeats itself to the letter, we can draw lessons from the past. A culture of hate always precedes real violence. The Christie Pits Riots offer lessons that are depressingly topical, but no less relevant today than they were in 1933.” –Jamie Michaels and Doug Fedrau, co-producers of historical comic entitled Christie Pits.

Camps, ghettos and prisoners By Cassandra Wehrhahn
Neepawa Banner & Press
The Nazi regime had a staggering number of victims– prior to and during World War II– in Germany and other Nazi occupied territories. The sheer amount of which can still not be determined today. On Dec. 7, 1944, a passage appeared in the Neepawa Press telling of a deadly incident, relayed in a single sentence: “Forty thousand Jews from the Warsaw ghetto have been gassed by the Germans.” Large on its own, that number would be found to be only a fraction of the total victims researchers estimate today. Dachau established Hitler was made chancellor on Jan. 30, 1933. Despite not holding the title of dictator at this time, Hitler already held a significant amount of power. The very first concentration camp– Dachau– was established in March, just two
months after Hitler was put in that position of power. It was then that the Nazis began imprisoning people in camps and categorizing them using various badges. Prior to this, the Nazis held society’s socalled “undesirables” in jail. Prisoner identification In addition to the Star of David for those imprisoned for being Jewish, prisoners were identified by an assortment of coloured, primarily inverted triangles. These badges allowed the Schutzstaffel (SS), known as stormtroopers in English, to easily identify a person’s alleged grounds for incarceration. Based on the coding used before and during the early stages of war at Dachau, the system worked as follows: •Red, inverted: political prisoners– social democrats, socialists, communists, an-
archists, rescuers of Jewish people, trade unionists and freemasons. •Red, uninverted: enemy
(ex: bisexual men and transgender women). In the early years, those incarcerated for being LGBT+ were made to
NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS ARCHIVES, DEC. 7, 1944
prisoners of war, spies, traitors and military deserters or criminals. •Green: convicts and criminals. •Purple: Jehovah’s Witnesses. •Brown: Romani males. •Black: “asocial” and “work-shy” people– Roma, Sinti, mentally ill and mentally disabled people, alcoholics, drug addicts, homeless people and beggars, pacifists and conscription resisters, prostitutes, some anarchists, and lesbians, as lesbians were typically not detained with homosexuality charges for a variety of reasons. •Pink: gay men and those the Nazis mis-labelled as such
Noel Panter, in brief
wear a green or a red triangle. If a prisoner wearing any of these badges was also Jewish, a yellow triangle was combined with it to resemble the Star of David. Badges were also accompanied by numbers and letters for various purposes, such as denoting nationality or in-camp functions, if applicable. Symbols today Some of the symbols used to identify Nazi prisoners remain in use today, though with a positive context. They have been reclaimed and repurposed, or continue to be an important symbol within a culture. The Star of David re-
mains an important symbol within the Jewish community, alongside the menorah– a much older Jewish symbol. The black triangle has been reclaimed by two groups. Lesbians now use it as a symbol of pride and solidarity, and to remember the lesbians who suffered and died at the hands of the Nazis. Some UK groups concerned for the rights of disabled people have also adopted the symbol for usage in their campaigns. The pink triangle has been reclaimed and repurposed by the LGBT+ community, as a whole, for positive uses following the Holocaust. These uses include raising awareness of LGBT+ persecution during the Holocaust, human rights activism and marking LGBT+ safe spaces. How many camps and ghettos? According to the Jewish Virtual Library ( JVL), a
recorded 23 main camps were established– each accompanied by an array of sub-camps. Some of these camps were established under euphemistic names, such as “care facilities for foreign children.” One hundred and ten camps would be established in 1933 alone. According to the JVL, researchers found that the Nazis established about 42,500 camps and ghettos between 1933 and 1945. That figure includes 30,000 slave labour camps, 1,150 Jewish ghettos, 980 concentration camps, 1,000 prisoner of war camps, 500 brothels filled with slaves, and thousands of other camps utilized for euthanizing the elderly, mentally ill, disabled and otherwise infirm. It also includes those used for “Germanizing” prisoners or transporting victims to kill centers. Today, some of the centres are active as museums; places to remember those tragedies, learn and reflect.
Canadians at Vaucelles
NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS 1933 ARCHIVES
By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press It is no secret there was a suppression of truth throughout the duration of Nazi rule. In Nazi held territory, laws and the threat of harm kept newspapers from reporting accurately. Additionally, any critical reports would not be tolerated and propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels would lead efforts to influence and pressure the presses, including the foreign press. According to an article on History Extra, sources reporters relied on for information started to fear for their lives as well. As a foreign correspondent for British newspaper the Daily Telegraph, Noel Panter was face to face with a dangerous reality: Follow along and remain safe, or tell the truth. Panter chose the latter. The 31-year-old writer, who had also reported on Hitler’s election as chancellor in January 1933, was arrested by the Nazis in October that same year. Panter had made a move that the Nazis did not like– he accurately reported the march of 20,000 stormtroops (SS soldiers) in Munich and the “militaristic fervour” displayed there. He was imprisoned by the Gestapo under accusations of espionage and other anit-Nazi activities as a result. The Telegraph reports that Panter’s flat was raided, personal papers were confiscated and he was held in prison for 10 days. The British government placed intense pressure on Hitler’s regime for Panter’s release. Later, Panter was granted just that– and expelled from Germany. Will Wainewright, an author who published a book about British reporters telling the world of the rise of fascism prior to World War II, believes Panter would have faced a much worse fate if the government had not applied that pressure. Note: It is also important to acknowledge activity outside of Nazi occupied territory. According to History Extra, there were newspaper owners and editors (outside of those for established pro-Nazi papers) who were Nazi sympathizers. For example, British Daily Mail reporter Rothy Reynolds– well known for similar reasons as Noel Panter– was in a difficult position in Britain. His boss, Lord Rothermere, supported Hitler. Words from Rothy Reynolds’ articles would be excluded, making Reynolds’ originally critical pieces appear as though they were his own, pro-Nazi, opinions.

NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS ARCHIVE PHOTOS
Pictured left: This photo appeared in the Banner & Press’ 1942 archives with the following caption: “A few seconds after this picture shot was taken, the trail was on the ground, the rubber tired wheels up on their platform, the gun traversed into line and the first round was on its way.” Pictured right: This photo appeared in the Neepawa Press on Feb. 19, 1942, in a special section entitled “If” Manitoba Were Occupied. According to the cutline from that time, the photo depicts Nazi soldiers rounding up civilians to be taken to a concentration camp. The section warned that the place depicted could be any Manitoban town, and that Canadians must not let Nazis take hold in Canada. “Remembering Our Fallen Heroes”
