An ice surprise for Neepawa’s Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club $40,000 anonymous donation helps with ice rental costs at Yellowhead Centre
Submitted Neepawa Junior “A” Hockey Club Media Release
Neepawa’s Junior “A” Hockey Club has received a big pre-season boost. The organization announced, via media release on Wednesday, Aug. 19, that the team has received a major donation from a family whose members are long time team fans. The support is for just over $40,000, with the family requesting that the money be used to finish paying for last year’s ice bill at Neepawa’s Yellowhead Centre arena and to pre-pay the ice bill for the 2020-21 MJHL season. The family has also asked that they remain anonymous. This cheque was delivered to the Yellowhead Centre board at their most recent monthly meeting last Monday. Neepawa head coach and general manager, Ken Pearson, who also sits on the Yellowhead Centre board expressed gratitude for this generous and unexpected patronage. “The team is very thank-
ful for this support. It comes in a very timely fashion for the club and for the Yellowhead Centre as well with all we have been through in the past few months.” Pearson stated. The team’s board president Ken Waddell added, “We are very grateful for this donation. It couldn’t have come at a better time. I have certainly expressed the team’s gratitude to the family” A pleasant surprise Vi a m e d i a re l e a s e, Yellowhead Board chair Brian McCannell said, “I will say the cheque we received last Monday night was a pleasant surprise! The Yellowhead Community Rec Centre is appreciative of the financial commitment the Neepawa Junior “A” team has shown by committing to pay for their ice rental up front. The early arrival of these funds will help with cash flow as we work towards the start of a new season.

The cost of ice rental for Neepawa’s Junior “A” Hockey Club 2020-21 MJHL season at the Yellowhead Centre has been covered by an anonymous donation given to the team by a family of long time supporters of the organization.
I wish our home team a safe and successful year!”
A challenge to the community The donor family is also hoping that other com-
munity minded people will consider matching the donated dollars in an effort to get the team on a firmer financial footing after a few years of losses on operations.
Since the team’s inception in 1989, the Neepawa’s Junior “A” Hockey Club has paid over $550,000 in ice rental and the team’s games have brought in over $450,000 to the Yellow-
head Arena’s concession. The Yellowhead Centre is community owned, unlike arenas in many communities that are owned by the respective towns or municipalities.

Local business adapts to pandemic with new services
New support for BP medical clinic Neepawa Town Council Tuesday, Aug. 11
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press A sizeable donation has been earmarked for the Beautiful Plains Community Medical Clinic. On Tuesday, Aug. 17, Neepawa Town Council unanimously passed a resolution to distribute $40,500 to the clinic. The money was made available through a donation announced from HyLife Foods Inc, to aid medical health care and capital needs within the area. Councillor reports Councillor Jason Nadeau prov ided a brief summary of a community consultation meeting held in Nov. 2019 and organized by Child and Family Services of Western Manitoba (CFS). An array of local support groups and town officials were on hand to discuss ways to work together and support residents in the community. The minutes from this gathering have been forwarded to Nadeau and include a few suggestions, including the establishment of a location for these services to operate out of and to be available on a consistent basis. Councillor Marijka Kostenchuk advised fellow council members on a recent meeting with the County Court building committee. The facility has been approved for a matching government grant for up to $17,500. There are three improvement projects being currently pursued in relation to that grant upgrades to the furnace and boiler, installation of an exterior lift for the building and roof repairs.

Admin reports Chief Administrative Officer Colleen Synchyshyn updated council on the latest from the province on disaster funding, related to the 2020 flooding, which hit the region. As of Tuesday, Aug. 11, there was no notable update, as they were still gathering data. Locally, however, the Town has been very busy. T he Ha m i lton St reet Bridge recently passed its structural integrity testing and the report was pending. The campground is functioning at 50 per cent capacity, with work continuing to restore hydro connections and general clean-up. A temporary pathway, with a culvert system has been completed going to Park Lake. People are advised to be careful in the area, as the pathway is single lane. The removal plan for the old bridge, which was damaged from the flood, is being examined. Its removal may not occur this year, as there are several flood repairs, as well as normal community repairs and upgrades that must be taken care of first.
With COVID-19 still going strong, many consumers are experiencing a change in priorities and spending habits. Businesses are having to adapt to that and Provost Signs in Neepawa is no exception. While their main focus has been signs and other promotional items, Provost has added a new product to their lineup– transparent, polycarbonate barriers. Since March, when the pandemic started, barriers at service desks and checkout counters have been popping up in stores throughout the community and Provost has been the business behind it. Doug Chorneyko, owner of Provost Signs, explained that before the pandemic, this was something they hadn’t done. Chorneyko noted that at first, it was just one or two businesses that started to order the barriers, then, as it started to spread through word of mouth, Provost started getting more orders for them. When the pandemic f irst started, Chorneyko explained that they decided they didn’t want to travel far for orders. “So we were just trying to

With less business as things started to close down, Chorneyko noted that the barrier sales really helped fill in the gaps for them. “There was a small lull, until things started opening up again,” he added. Provost had to be closed for a few days as well, but Chorneyko said they haven’t had to lay anyone off. Now that the province is in its reopening phases, there have been more orders for the barriers and Provost has stocked up on the materials to be ready for it. “We’re doing some for school divisions right now,” Chorneyko noted. “We’re hoping the orders continue to come in.” Those who order the polycarbonate barriers can have Provost staff come to their place of business to measure the area and help them decide what size and shape would work best in

Gladstone holds downsized version of annual fair
By Tara Fulton Submitted
Aug. 6 to 8 should have been the Bullmania and Gladstone Fair, but unfortunately, like everyone else, we had to downsize due to COVID-19. The Bullmania was cancelled early in April, but we remained hopeful that some of the other events would be able to continue. Unfortunately, many of them cancelled as well, but our small committee decided to try and keep fair weekend alive by hosting a couple takeout breakfasts, steak
supper, slo-pitch tournament and parade. The Ag Society hosted a takeout pancake breakfast Friday morning, then on Saturday, the Gladstone Arena hosted a takeout pancake breakfast, followed by a takeout steak supper later that day. The annual kids’ parade was its usual hit, with approximately 25 kids taking part, followed by the fair parade. It was great to see everyone out on the streets watching the two parades. Six teams took part in the slo-pitch tournament, while local band Bullruck-
us entertained everyone Saturday evening in the park/campground. The Ag Society held a 50/50 on the weekend and Mark Anderson, of Gladstone, was the winner of $400 Saturday night. He gratuitously donated half of his winnings back to the Ag Society. Both the Ag Society and Arena would like to thank everyone who came out to pick up their pancake breakfasts and steak supper. Supper sold out again! Thank you for your support.
Gladstone Pharmacy and Tim Hortons showed off a classic car in the parade.

Don’t let casual sloppiness come back to bite us
S
ome news out of Australia shows that regular f lu deaths have dropped dramatically this year. Right now is Australian winter, if you can actually call what Australia has as a winter season. Nevertheless, it is flu season in that part of the world. The drop in regular flu deaths is being attributed to all the extra measures that have been taken to combat COVID-19. These measure have become well known to Canadians, such as avoiding crowds, wearing masks when it makes sense to do so, covering your cough, regular hand washing, staying home if you are sick, all the things we have heard about and have been practising. It is now obvious that we can and should practise better hygiene and thereby cut down on a lot of infectious diseases other than COVID-19. I chuckle when I see that list of things to do, as many of these practises have been preached for 100 years or more and I think we, as a society, got sloppy. That casual sloppiness came around and bit us. Plain and simple. There are other things we can do to avoid getting sick and they start long before we get sick. Eat well (I have no problem with that one, for sure), drink lots of fluids, make sure you take your vitamins, see a doctor regularly to make sure you are healthy. Vitamin levels are essential to staying well. All these are background issues and then you make sure you do the common sense stuff, like covering your cough and hand washing.

Ken Waddell off the rails is on some common sense issues. They know, or should know, that “maybe” C-19 might be delayed if everything was shut down. But “delayed” is the key word. Remember the whole idea of “flattening the curve”. In Manitoba, we not only flattened the curve, we pretty much crushed it. Protecting the vulnerable is key, but as for the rest of the population, we will likely get COVID and we will likely survive it, if we haven’t already. Many won’t even know if they have it or not. Eventually, in spite of all we do or try to do, C-19 will go through the population and immunity will build up. There’s bad news in all this. Another virus will come along, they always do. Some of the things governments and organizations are going through are almost nonsense. I think trying to mandate masks on school students is doomed to failure, but I could be wrong. Sports organizations are trying very hard to help with this situation, but here’s an analogy. Fighting to avoid or delay COVID-19 is a good thing, but what some people want to do is like sitting down to a game of chess. In the middle of the game, a spider lands on the chess
board. The way some people are reacting to C-19, they would take a sledge hammer to squash the spider. The board is smashed and the chess pieces go flying all over the room. Wouldn’t it be simpler to grab a Kleenex and simply pick the spider off the board and flush it down the toilet? Kids have to get back to school. If parents feel strongly that they want to home school, I think that is good too. We need to have hockey, football, soccer, music and all these other things to get life back to normal. And yes, some people are going to die. But understand this, far more people have died from flu, other diseases, cancer, heart disease, delayed surgeries, traffic accidents and sadly, suicide, in Manitoba since March 1, 2020, than from C-19. Thirty people die every day in Manitoba and we have lost 12 total to COVID-19. It’s time to do two things. One, take all the reasonable precautions and two, get on with life.

s a farmer’s daughter, as a farmer’s wife, the reality of “next year” is just that, a reality! My fields are now a back yard garden, a side yard garden and a front yard garden. The lessons continue and the promise of next year is one I hold dear! For the first time ever, I grew cauliflower and it was a successful endeavour. Research showed that planting them with celery would decrease the onslaught on inHOMEBODIES sects. Whether it was the celery or the netting, the cauliflowers were as big as a dinner plate Rita Friesen and bug-free. The raised bed had been deliberately half filled to allow for netting. If the success was a fluke, I’ll take it. The flaw in that section was that the kohlrabis planted did not have enough space to grow to maturity, the cauliflowers dominated. And the kohlrabis planted later were planted too late. The other raised bed grows cucumbers, green peppers and tomatoes, with a volunteer sand cherry finding the space to grow. Here, the reality is the soil is too rich, for the foliage on the tomato plants threaten the supporting structures, the wire tomato cages. I did add calcium to the soil and watered religiously and am now prepared to reap a mighty harvest. The cucumbers were slow to take off, in fact, it was the third seeding that germinated. Here, too, there will be an abundance. In the space between the garages, I planted broccoli, in low planters, and two tomatoes in mineral tubs. The area becomes too hot for healthy plants, even when they got moved from the east wall to the west wall, they withered early. And the broccoli? Well, Miss Daisy discovered the wonder of fresh greens. After finding evidence of one being eaten, I placed chicken wire around the planters. She nosed under it and harvested another one. I moved the two planters closer together and devised a better, stronger, chicken wire defence. Sadly, not good enough, she ate two more. That was four of the six gone. Between her going over and crawling under, there were no survivors. The front garden is home to the peas, corn and four potato plants. There should have been two, not three, rows of corn for bigger ears, and the potatoes, companion planted with the corn, also needed more space and sunlight. The snap peas are closest to the driveway and grew above their fence. The regular peas outdid themselves. Success. And then something got at the peas, eating not simply the pods, but also the tender ends. This was a win, for the plants burst forth into blossom and I am getting a second picking. The front garden is planted with cantaloupe and watermelon. They are doing well. I thought to intersperse some flowers and finding random seeds in storage, I planted them. Not knowing by seeds without the pictures of the package, beets are now growing with the flowers. So next year… I will be prepared to cover more veg beds, for Miss Daisy also harvests the cucumbers, again crawling under the net to gain her snack. There will also be a net over the raspberries, for the same reason! But next year….The promise lures me on.

What’s right about taxes?
I
will be the first to admit that I ask that question at least twice a year. The first is in late March or early April, when I file my income tax return. The second is in September when property taxes are paid. These and other taxes eat up just under half of my income and like you, I often find myself thinking that something is seriously wrong with this picture. There is, however, much that can be said in support of taxes; and this week, I want to suggest some things that are right about them—things that make them worth paying. First, they help us recognize the role governments play in our society. St. Paul explores this concept in his letter to the Romans, chapter 13. He tells us, first of all, that human government is a divinely ordained entity. Its primary function is to set standards of right and wrong for those it governs. Those who follow the laws are to be allowed to go about their daily activities without being subjected to undue suspicion or harassment. Those who disobey
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein the laws are to be given punishments that fit their crimes. Our taxes help pay for those the government employs to carry out these functions. Second, taxes help pay for services that we, as citizens of our country, province, town or rural community, ask our governments to provide. These services include building and maintaining roads; urban water and sewer systems; public parks, playgrounds and sport facilities; schools and hospitals. As we demand more services, the list keeps growing. Since individual citizens cannot provide these services on their own, we ask our governments to provide them for us and we allow them to take from us, in taxes, an amount equivalent to our fair share of the cost incurred to build, equip,

a certain way. As a follower of Jesus, we grow stronger after each experience, good or bad. I know I love to make music. I am not great at it,
maintain and staff these facilities. We still pay for the services we receive, but we share the cost with all those who live in our respective communities; and there’s nothing wrong with that. Third, taxes enable us to help those in need, wherever in our communities or country they might happen to live. We know that natural disasters (fires, floods, tornados, etc.) can happen anywhere at any time. Pandemics (like COVID-19) can appear and put the lives and health of millions in danger. Government programs that provide emergency funds for those hardest hit by these disasters are always appreciated. But they must be paid for; and the only source of revenue governments have is the taxes we pay. But, as good and right as the above things are,

they do not give governments the right to tax and spend as they see fit. Nor do they justify the deficit financing that has become an alternative way of raising funds to cover expenses governments are unwilling to cut. Governments must act responsibly and with integrity, especially in the handling of public funds. Checks and balances must be in place so that the taxes we pay will be used to provide the best possible services to every Canadian, wherever he or she may live. This will require vigilance on our part. As citizens, we have the right and responsibility to speak up if we feel tax dollars are being spent inappropriately. If governments refuse to listen, we can tell them how we feel about that during the campaign leading up to the next general election. But if we don’t speak up, we will have only ourselves to blame for larger deficits and higher taxes. Vigilant citizens can help ensure we will always have responsible governments.
sunflowers in the bouquet and they just smiled at me. We can find joy in even small blessings we receive each day. It depends how we look at life. Can we see God’s handiwork and how He sustains the earth and brings love and care in our lives? Let the Lord have His way in our life every day.

When Andrew Sheer wanted to get in there and act as opposition, he was slammed by all the main stream media and their band of political scientists, saying that Trudeau should go ahead and run the country without an opposition. This is not a democracy. What is it? Bob Ford Minnedosa, MB
A trophy that shouldn’t be forgotten
Have you ever been involved with any kind of an award? For example,say you were on a winning sport’s team and the prize was a coveted trophy. Most of these trophies are “shelved” when the various leagues end. An example would be the many trophies awarded by the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA). After the end of MAHA, Hockey Canada took over and all of the trophies from BB, AB, Midget and Juvenile divisions were shelved. Some leagues last for years and are still going. The NHL’s Stanley Cup is one such trophy and Football’s Grey Cup is another. There are trophies that are handed out for a few years and end when that particular league expires. Examples are the Ron Pilkey Trophy and the Ray McIntyre trophy. They both played local hockey and both died in separate accidents, so the trophies were memorials and Ron’s was awarded to the team winning the championship, while Ray’s went to the leading goal scorer. These trophies were only given out while the Central Manitoba Junior B League existed. They now occupy a spot on one of the shelves at the arena. That is where the majority of trophies end up. Either there, or perhaps at the Museum. All of the above are understandable, but what isn’t, is one particular trophy that should never have been shelved. The Kemmy Frampton Trophy. Kemmy reported all of the sports for the Neepawa Press from 1948 until 1976. His style was “one of a kind” and whether it was baseball, hockey or any other sporting event, Kemmy would be there to watch and report. Continued on Page 17

A picnic lunch with the 1914 Overland touring automobile. Left front -Wilfred Drysdale, left top-George Drysdale, owner of the car, with friends and family.
In 1904 Winnipeg, there were several automobiles and the rules for driving were simple: keep to the right side of the road! An Automobile Club was formed to develop roads, get sign posts and have maps produced. By 1908, there were slightly over 100 cars in Winnipeg and police received many complaints about the breakneck driving and frightened horses running away. Steam cars and electric cars were also used for a time, but there were the problems of taking a long time for the pressure to build up in the steam car and the electric car had a short driving range before it needed charging, so in the end, it was the gasoline powered cars that ended up ruling. 1904 saw Mr. Ford establish the Ford Motor Co. of Canada and soon, there were more Fords produced than all other manufacturers combined and at very reasonable prices. At that time, you got it in any colour you wanted, so long as it was black. Henry Ford favoured the black color because it dried the fastest. The 1908 Model T and other early cars were capable of speeds as great as 25 or even 30 mph (40 to 50 km/h). The “Winnipeg” was a four cylinder car, manufactured in the state of New York, shipped to Winnipeg in pieces and assembled in Winnipeg in the early 1920s. Their slogan was “as good as the wheat.” The radiator was custom built in Winnipeg to be frost-proof, with a distinctive radiator emblem of a sheaf of wheat tied with the word Winnipeg and it came with a set of chains. Back in Neepawa, Mr. William Willboughby, having a commercial stable on the corner of Hamilton and Brown, seemed to see the writing on the wall. His barn, at 100 ft. by 100 ft. and three stories high, was said to be the largest barn in Canada. It was sold in 1907 to H. R. Rutledge and within a few years, it became a car garage and dealership. 1908 saw John Crawford buying a carload of McLaughlin-Buick and Charlie Pedlar purchased Fords to sell. The horse and buggy days would soon be a thing of the past. Taken from the 1980 Drysdale history book: “In those years, gasoline engines were not always reliable and many frustrating hours were spent trying to make balky engines work. On any trip, one had to be prepared to fix flat tires, adjust spark plugs and solve other motor problems. The Overland car purchased in 1914, by George, was considered a very fine car, even though it had to be started by cranking. The gasoline tank was under the front seat and could be filled only by having all front seat passengers get out and wait until the seat was removed and the tank filled with gasoline and the seat replaced. With careful manoeuvering, the top could be folded down, as in a modern convertible. The celluloid side curtains were kept under the back seat and what a scramble to get at them in the rain and button them into place.” That new touring Overland car cost George Drysdale $1,510 and to licence it cost $6.30. The Manitoba Antique Automobile Museum is a museum that is located in Elkhorn, MB. It has a collection of over 100 automobiles that date back to 1908, including several Overland cars. It is worth the trip to see all they have to offer. This recipe comes from a 1912 cookbook and would make a great addition for any picnic lunch. Sardine sandwiches Remove skin and bone from sardines and mash to a paste. Add an equal quantity of the yolks of hardboiled eggs. Season with salt, cayenne and a few drops of lemon juice. Moisten with melted butter and spread on thin slices of buttered bread.
Greek yogurt chicken sandwich I think I much prefer this recipe to take on my picnic lunch. 2 cups leftover chicken 1/4 cup diced red onion 1/4 cup diced red pepper or more, to taste 1/4 cup sliced olives of your choice 1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or more, as needed 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves or fresh, to taste
Mix the first five ingredients in a bowl. In small bowl, mix the yogurt and remaining ingredients and add to the meat and veggies. Spread between slices of your favourite bread.
The Municipality of Westlake-Gladstone has been on the receiving end of a number of grants lately, helping them to make some additions and improvements to their communities. They’ve been able to order portable hand washing stations and a portable entertainment system, as well as have the tennis and basketball courts in Gladstone resurfaced and organize some basic English classes for the fall. The money for these projects has come from a combination of the federal Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF ), the Big Grass Community Foundation (BGCF), Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba (MMSM) and the provincial Building Sustainable Communities fund. There will be five portable hand washing stations shipped to the municipality, with soap and hand towels. Nicole Sellers, WestlakeGladstone’s Recreation and Leisure director, noted that they’ve just ordered the units from out of province, so it’ll be a while before they arrive. The plan is to use the stations at community events and sporting events, to help prevent the spread of diseases like COVID-19 and the flu. The BGCF and ECSF supported the purchase of the portable stations. One of the most exciting purchases for the municipality, also covered by ECSF
and BGCF, is the portable entertainment system. Sellers noted that they decided to purchase this because it gives the municipality a safe option for community events during the pandemic. “With COVID, it’s been really hard to get things going,” she stated. Langruth, Plumas, Westbourne and Gladstone will all benefit from the acquisition, which includes a 20-foot inflatable movie screen, a large sheet screen, two projectors, a speaker system and more. Sellers explained that they had a plan A and a plan B for the entertainment system. Plan A was the inflatable screen, which they have purchased, but its estimated delivery date isn’t until the end of September. Plan B was the sheet screen, which they have now and is available to be rented by groups and individuals. The municipality is already planning to use the entertainment system for some outdoor f itness classes, movie nights and karaoke events. Basic English classes are also currently being organized, with financial support from BGCF and the ECSF. Sellers noted that they have been in contact with Don Walmsley, of the Neepawa and Area Immigrant Settlement Services, to help them with these classes. The plan is to have in-person class in
Gladstone, with the option to also attend virtually via Zoom. Sellers noted that people interested in any of the outdoor events or English classes should stay tuned for more details around dates, because things might change as flu season starts up. The final project that the municipality is working on is the basketball and tennis courts in Gladstone. Sellers noted that the surface of the courts is cracked and it hasn’t really been safe for use lately. With the help of MMSM and the Building Sustainable Communities grant, they have started on getting the courts resurfaced. The new surface will be recycled rubber asphalt, made from old tires. They will also add solar panel lights to make the courts more usable after dark. Iris Construction, from Winnipeg, is currently doing the prep work on the site. Sellers said that the company estimated all the work will be finished by the end of next week. Sellers expressed that the municipality is very happy about everything they’ve been able to get with the grants they received. “It’s exciting when you have equipment you can use and share and it can hopefully bring smiles to people’s faces.”

Royal ascension
Carberry advances to SCBL Final By Gladwyn Scott
Neepawa Banner & Press
Carberry Royals scored twice with two out in the bottom of the seventh to record a 5-4 win over the visiting Neepawa Cubs on Wednesday, Aug. 12. This gave the Royals the bestof-three semi-final series in two straight games and a berth in the Santa Clara Baseball League finals with the Portage Padres. With runners on first and second, Scott Murray ripped a two run double down the left field line to score the tying and winning runs. Neepawa had tallied two runs in the top of the seventh to take a 4-3 lead. Zaine McConnell pitched a complete game for the Royals, scattering nine hits and striking out three. Jason Kirkland went six innings for the Cubs and southpaw, Garret Rempel, pitched the seventh. They combined for seven Ks and allowed seven hits. Kevin Levandosky and Rempel led the Cubs with two hits apiece and singles were added by Rob Moar, Jason Vinnell, Taylor Fletcher, Andrew Richards and Cody Pasowisty. Torey Scott singled twice and crossed home plate three times for Carberry, who had Bret Heselwood single and score once, Daylon Creasy double and Keean McLaren collect a single. The Royals recorded two double plays. Carberry Royals opened the Santa Clara League best-of-three semi-f inal series with a 10-2 victory over host Neepawa Cubs Monday, Aug. 10. Daylon Creasy was the winning pitcher with a complete game six hitter, three Ks and a pair of walks. Cole Krukewich went 4 1/3
innings for the Cubs with relief from Taylor Fletcher and Dylan Birch. The Carberry Royals will next play the Portage Padres in the SCBL Final. Game 1 of the finals was played on Tuesday, Aug. 18 in Portage la Prairie, while game 2 is set for Friday, Aug. 21 in Carberry. Plumas hosts Memorial Game Plumas Pirates hosted a Memorial Baseball Game Aug. 4 with Neepawa Cubs winning 4-2 before a large crowd. The purpose of the game was to recognize and pay tribute to some of their long time fans. Special messages were given on the PA to Les Bohn, Ray and Alice Walker, Eddie Walker, Ronnie Smith, Irene Moore, Harold Wutke, Bill Habke, Kenny and Web Potts, Les Davies (who used to present a $5 bill at home plate for Pirates home run hitters), and the Porosky family (who plans to donate an award to the top Plumas pitcher). It was a great game and a popular event. Plumas has a good young local team who play on an immaculately groomed park. Baseball has always been a big part of the small community, starting in the late 1940s with players like the Hanke boys (Bill, George and Ernie), Bill Uhrynyk, Shorty Belton and “Smokey Joe” Eastman (Sandy Bay), who used to entertain the crowd with cartwheels on his way to and from the pitcher’s mound. The Pirates upset visiting Portage 9-3 Aug. 12 to knot their semi-final series 1-1. Southpaw, Justin Walker, pitched a complete game. Eric Sigurdson smacked two over the fence and Zac Yandeau collected three RBIs.

1970: Galician school at Mountain Road
By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press
110 years ago, Tuesday, August 23, 1910 It is rumored that a boot and shoe factory will be established in Winnipeg to employ three hundred hands. There is a woman in Bavelsko, Bulgaria, who is 126 years old that works in the fields with her son, aged 101. Her diet all through her long life has been vegetables and sour milk. 100 years ago, Friday, August 20, 1920 Canada’s postmasterg ener a l h a s g one to England to attend an international convention. Hope he learns something about the business. 90 years ago, Friday, August 22, 1930 That old game of “knife” has captivated the attention of the younger generation of Neepawa. Everywhere, both boys and girls are f lipping the blade and becoming quite dextrous in the different stages of the game. Perhaps an organized tournament would be just the thing. It has been noticed that the game is not played in an altogether careless manner. There are unwritten rules which every boy and girl take it as an honor not to break. 80 years ago, Tuesday, August 20, 1940 Canadians are being urged to produce more cheese and less butter to help the war effort. The menace of rats is now reaching serious proportions in Manitoba, according to the minister of health and public welfare. It is reported that the
Gestapo sent agents with German planes to see that the crews try hard in their attacks on England. Eight Neepawa children have done their bit to help swell the Red Cross war fund here by the selling of lemonade on the street. They recently turned in $4.00 they realized on their venture.
70 years ago, Thursday, August 24, 1950 One of the few remaining pioneer farmers of the Glendale district is Isaac Kerr, of Neepawa, who marked his 83rd birthday on Friday. A native of Victoria County, Ontario, he came west in 1892 and later purchased land in the Glendale district southwest of Neepawa. Here he continued to farm until retirement to Neepawa in 1926. Mrs. Kerr, the former Rosa R. Wakelin, also of Victoria County, came to Manitoba in 1912. Two daughters, Mrs. R. S. Brown (Alma), and Mrs. Fred Bush (Ruby), live in Toronto. Mrs. R. A. Reily (Lillian) resides at Mentmore. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Cornelius have a tombstone in their basement and they aren’t happy about it. The grave marker, bearing the date of 1880, was uncovered by workmen digging out a basement area for the placement of a new furnace. Mrs. Cornelius says, “I told them they didn’t need to dig any deeper.” 60 years ago, Tuesday, August 23, 1960 One of the new school units at Eden is fast taking shape as workmen press to get it ready for the opening of the fall term.

50 years ago, Thursday, August 20, 1970 The Neepawa Town C ou n c i l r e c e i v e d a s information an off icial complaint about the town water in the form of a letter of explanation concerning an unpaid water bill. At its regular meeting Aug. 18, council heard a letter from Mrs. Edna Ramstad, stating that there were two reasons her water bill had been unpaid: first that there was no indication on the bill of how much water she had used; secondly that she was waiting for a lab report on whether or not the water was fit for human consumption. M r s. R a mst ad sa id not only must she get her drinking water from another source, but she also has doubts about using the town water for washing vegetables and other purposes. She said she had thought at first that the poor quality of the water she received was due to a fault in the pipes, or some problem in her particular area, but when she discovered the complaint was a general one, she decided to enter a complaint. The letter stated that the loss of 99 cents (the discount for prompt payment of the bill) was well worth it. The bill has since been paid. 40 years ago, Thursday, August 21, 1980 C on g r at u l at ion s t o Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Habk irk, of Neepawa,

Sports Financial downturn acknowledged at Neepawa Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club’s annual general meeting

NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS 11
Hockey team posts a $64,083 loss for 2019-2020 MJHL season
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
Many of the questions from the crowd at the Neepawa Junior “A” Hockey Club’s recent annual general meeting were related to team names. Perhaps more questions should have been focused upon team numbers, more specifically, the club’s troubling financial outlook. The Manitoba Junior Hockey League club held its AGM on Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the Yellowhead Hall. At the event, representatives with the team announced that the organization suffered a net financial loss last year of $64,083. While the overall expenses were down yearover-year, from $508,856 to $436 ,69 8 , revenue also dropped $449,001 to $372,615. These factors combined not only to create the $64,000 year-end loss, but also increased the team’s overall deficit to $334,626. Looking at the numbers The organization’s official financial statements, compiled by Kinley Thomson Chartered Accountants Inc., showed a combination of factors contributing to the revenue drop. Those factors included a $37,669 decrease in fundraising revenue, a $26,551 drop in game revenues and a $14,150 fall in advertising and sponsorships. Neepawa team president Ken Waddell said that the club did everything it could to spend wisely over the course of the season, and that’s this is simply a case of needing more support, from a corporate and community level. “I think there has to be more partnerships, both at the league level and locally. I don’t think we’ve reached our potential, at either level. [To operate an MJHL franchise], it’s a lot of work to line up the partnerships. You have to go, one on one and explain it to people.

MGCC Championship Meanwhile, the Minnedosa Golf and County Club ( MGCC) also recently announced the winners of their Club Championship. The Club Champions included: Junior category: Cole Topham; Ladies’ category: Trudy Adamson; Men’s category: Grant Jacobsen; Senior Men’s category: Ken Newman. This is the second consecutive year, Adamson has won the Ladies’ Club title. The next major golf event for the region will be the Rosebowl Tournament in Neepawa from Sept. 5 to 7. This tournament will feature limited entry this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
It’ll be a fall without football in Neepawa, as the Rural Manitoba Football League (RMFL) has decided to postpone its regular season. last week, the decision was made by league officials to halt the play of games, due to concerns with the ongoing situation related to COVID-19. There have been rumours circulating that there has been considerations for staging tackle football in the spring. The RMFL has not acknowledged those discussions publicly. The Rural Manitoba Football League is a league of high school based football teams that plays nine-man football. There are nine member clubs in the league, including the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Tigers.

Letter: Reinstate the Kemmy Frampton Trophy
Continued from Page 5 As an honour bestowed upon him, the Kemmy Frampton Trophy was given annually, to the athlete of the year at the sportsman’s banquet for a few years and then unceremoniously shelved, where it remains today. Kemmy’s writings entertained thousands of readers for over a quarter of a century and deserves more credit than to have a trophy sitting idle gathering dust while both the banquet and the athletes of the
year are still happening. Why not reinstate the trophy and bring it out when presenting the awards? The names could go on the trophy and put it in a prominent place at the Yellowhead Centre on proud display. Perhaps there’s a local business that would support the cost of annual name plates. There are many trophies that end up shoved aside and forgotten about. This is one that shouldn’t be. Rick Sparling Winnipeg, MB

activity and better than expected results.” 2,060 residential properties sold in Manitoba in July 2020 is the highest number of sales in a single month on record, exceeding the previous monthly record of 2,015 unit sales set in June of this year. Manitoba also set a new monthly record for total sales dollar volume. Residential property sales in July 2020 accounted for $637 million in total dollar volume, an increase of 38.1 per cent over July 2019. In addition, sales activity in the first seven months of 2020 has surpassed the
total number of unit sales in the same period of last year. 9,183 residential properties sold in Manitoba year to date (YTD) is 2.7 per cent higher than the YTD sales total of 8,939 in 2019. “Overall, 2019 was a good year for residential sales in Manitoba and considering the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, catching up to and surpassing last year’s totals at this time is quite an achievement,” said Tosh. “While there are more challenges to come in fighting the global pandemic, we believe owning a home in Manitoba can offer a safe haven in an uncertain world.”

Vascular dementia
By Gail Freeman-Campbell Daughter on Call Vascular dementia, also known as multi-infarct dementia, is the second most common cause of dementia in older people. Because it has a lower profile than Alzheimer’s, many people don’t suspect vascular dementia when forgetfulness becomes problematic. It’s also difficult to diagnose so it’s difficult to know exactly how many people suffer from vascular dementia. Vascular dementia occurs when vessels that supply blood to the brain become blocked or narrowed. Strokes take place when the supply of blood carrying oxygen to the brain is suddenly cut off. However, not all people with stroke will develop vascular dementia. Vascular dementia can occur over time as “silent” strokes pile up. Quite often, vascular dementia draws attention to itself only when the impact of so many strokes adds up to significant disability. Avoiding and controlling risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and high cholesterol, can help curb the risk of vascular dementia. Catching the condition early also helps limit the impact and severity of vascular dementia. Anyone who
suspects vascular dementia should talk with his or her doctor. Symptoms of vascular dementia depend on what part of the brain is affected and to what extent. Like Alzheimer’s disease, the symptoms of vascular dementia are often mild for a long time. They may include: •Problems with short-term memory; •Wandering or getting lost in familiar surroundings; •Laughing or crying at inappropriate times; •Trouble concentrating, planning, or following through on activities; •Trouble managing money; •Inability to follow instructions; •Loss of bladder or bowel control; •Hallucinations or delusions. Symptoms that suddenly get worse often signal a stroke. Alzheimer’s, by comparison, progresses at a slow, steady pace. Another clue is impaired coordination or balance. In vascular dementia, problems walking or balancing can happen early. Some risk factors for vascular dementia can be managed; others, like age and gender, cannot. Among all factors, high blood pressure carries the greatest risk;
vascular dementia almost never occurs without it. Likewise, a high risk of stroke goes hand in hand with risk for vascular dementia. People who smoke, consume excessive amounts of alcohol, have diabetes, or heart disease also have a higher rate of the condition. Currently, no available treatments can repair the damage of vascular dementia once it’s happened. Nonetheless, diagnosis provides important knowledge and the opportunity to prevent further damage. Prevention typically involves bringing high blood pressure under control through exercise, diet and medication. The same goes for diabetes, if it exists. Patients should stop smoking and curb the use of alcohol. Though medical options are limited, behavioral interventions, such as cues and reminders, can improve the quality of life for everyone involved. Family members and friends can place notes in visible locations around the house with daily plans and instructions for how to use basic items. Stepping up communication, reminding the person with vascular dementia what day it is, where they live and what is going on in the family can help keep them connected to the here and now.
