Carberry wins big in Neepawa Late game grand slam seals the win for the Royals

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

A grand slam home run from Phil Wells secured the 9-2 win for the Carberry Royals on Friday, June 2, against the Neepawa Cubs. The victory was Carberry’s second of the week, as they had also defeated the Minnedosa Mavericks 13-7 on May. 31. These recent results improved the Royals regular season record in the Santa Clara Baseball League to 2-3.

Last year’s league MVP Craig Casto, meanwhile, went 1-for-2 for the Neepawa Cubs during the game, drawing a walk, stealing a pair of bases.

Interlake Lightning forward Noah Oughton was the top pick in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s (MJHL) Bantam Draft on Sunday, June 5. The 15-year-old St. Laurent product was selected first overall by the Winnipeg Freeze.

As for the Neepawa Titans, they had the fourth pick in the first round and chose 16-year-old Jack Clark of the Southwest Cougars. Clark had 18 points (9 goals - 9 assists) for Southwest in 39 games last year.

To go along with the selection of Clark, seven other players were chosen by the Titans on Sunday. Those players were Aiden Laing of Brandon (15th overall), Pembina Valley’s Jaxon Hildebrand (18th), Chase Cochrane of Yellowhead (42nd), Shea Chornley of the Winnipeg Bruins (46th), Eastman’s Cameron Sylvester (58th), Connor Hoemson of the Westman Ice Bandits (71st) and Interlake’s Cole Swanson (74th). Of the eight elected players for Neepawa, six are forwards, while two play on defence.

Pair of Yellowhead Chiefs selected

It was a relatively quiet year for the U18 Yellowhead Chiefs on MJHL Draft Day, as just two players were selected. To go along with Neepawa’s pick of defenceman Chase Cochrane in the third round, forward Brad Brandon was taken in the sixth round by the Waywayseecappo Wolverines. Chiefs forward Addison McIntosh of Neepawa, was auto-protected by the Titans the previous week, and was therefor not draft eligible.

Portage 17-6 Neepawa

Earlier in the week, the Neepawa Cubs headed down the highway to Portage la Prairie, to face the Padres. While all of Portage’s bats seemed to be on point during the game, it was Tanner Boyle who had the most memorable outing. Boyle was a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate, while adding three RBIs. Teammate Joey Moffatt also had three runs batted in, and was 4-for-5 at bat.

As for Neepawa, Lincoln Murray had the best effort out there for the Cubs, going 2-for-3 at the plate with three runs and one RBI.

Barbara Mae Kushner

Barbara Mae Kushner (Bobbie) peacefully entered into rest at the age of 76 years old, at the Neepawa General Hospital with family by her side. Barbara is survived by her three children: Tom (Audra), Miles ( Bonnie), and Shelley. She had 7 grandchildren: Justin (Bree), Hollie (Emilio), Cassidy (Kai), Jordan (Ryan), Jesse (Mykayla), Megan (Brenden), Katie (Eric). She also had 4 great grandchildren: Deklan, Madison, Cooper and Bo. She is survived also by brothers and sister: Ted, Sid (Maureen), George, Sue (Mike) and brother and sister in laws: Linda, Donna, Merv (Barb), Joe and David as well as numerous nieces and nephews by whom she will be remembered fondly. Barb is predeceased by her late husband Tony Kushner, parents and in laws: Edith and Robert Mathers and Harry and Helen Kushner. She is also predeceased by brothers and sister: Bill, Russell, Glenda and brother and sister in laws: Frank, Stanley, Myra, Shirley and Lorraine.

Barb was born in Abbotsford, British Columbia to the late Edith and Robert Mathers. After receiving her high school diploma, Barb made a celebratory graduation trip to Manitoba to visit her Aunt which led to the meeting of her husband, Tony. They settled down on the family farm north of Glenella where they raised their three children. On October 9, 2022 Tony and Barb had been married for 57 joyful years!

Barb had many jobs in her life but her most notable job was at the Glenella School in the Turtle River School Division. She spent 26 years as the secretary and touched many lives along the way. She was well loved and continued substitute teaching after retirement in the surrounding schools and colonies. After many failed attempts, she was finally convinced to retire for good and her and Tony moved to a lovely condo in Neepawa.

Barb enjoyed gardening, crocheting, cooking/baking (we will miss her famous meatballs), bingo, and visits in the carport from friends and family near and far. The coffee was always on and she opened her heart and her home to anyone that stopped by.

One of the greatest joys in her life were her grandkids and great grandkids, whom she always loved to spoil in any way she could. Barb had patience and grace in whatever she did and she had love in her heart for everyone around her. Every conversation with her was a breathe of fresh air, a new perspective, and an encouraging pep talk. She always calmly knew the right thing to say to subside your worries. She was inspiring by her kindness, irreplaceable by her gentleness and a true gem in all our lives. Her memory and life’s greatest lessons will live on for generations to come. She will be missed deeply, as she has made the world a better place to many. We love you forever and always!

In loving memory of James (Jim) Gwyer who passed away June 10, 2022 1 year ago. Do not stand at my grave and weep For it is not there where I sleep I am a thousand winds that softly blow

I am the diamond's glint on freshly fallen snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the soft and gentle rain

When you wake in the early morning hush I am the soft and gentle rain

When you wake in the early morning hush

I am the softly uplifting rush of quiet song birds in circling flight I am the first star that shines in the night Do not stand at my grave and cry For I am not there, I did not die. Sadly missed and ever remembered by his wife.
