Robo-server arrives in Neepawa

New service technology to be used at Boston Pizza

By Ken Waddell Neepawa Banner & Press

The space age has come to Neepawa and more specifically to Neepawa’s Boston Pizza in the form of a server robot. Most people haven’t met this new robot but those who have are glad they did.

Amazingly enough, once programmed, the robot can deliver at least eight meal orders in a single trip from the kitchen to a table which potentially saves the server a couple of trips.

On the clearing dishes side, a server can load up many plates and send the robot back to the dish washing station while the server looks after another customer or clears tables.

Makes life easier Neepawa Boston Piz za owners Andrew and Riordan Dennis hope it will help make life easier for staff and as they, like most restaurants, are faced with

staff shortages, the robot will help a lot.

The BP robot looks like a four foot high plastic cat. It talks to customers, objects if you stoke his ears, ask if can pat it on the head and will sing happy birthday.

Robot is on probation

The Neepawa Banner & Press watched the robot go through its paces as it trav elled all around the restau rant, delivered orders and it didn’t spill a drop. The robot will be “on trial” for a couple of weeks, but may well become a fixture at BP.

The Neepawa Banner & Press was told that staff are mostly favourable to having some robotic help. Any body who has ever worked in a restaurant knows that saving steps and time is very important. Fewer steps means less fatigue at the end of the day and that’s always a good thing.The robot will wear down its battery but doesn’t ever get tired.

STOLEN

If you see this dinosaur quilt or have any information about it please call Lane at 204-476-3388 or TEXT 204-212-0136 or contact Neepawa RCMP 204-476-7340

If you took this quilt because you need a blanket to keep warm please call me and I will make you your own!

Much like the rest of Neepawa and region, as of late, the Banner & Press office has found itself dealing with a mass exodus of its’ staff all at once, because of the flu.

Due to these excep tional circumstances, the Banner & Press apologise if any of your contact with us this week, in the form of advertis ments, letters, thumbs up or articles/pictures have been missed.

We hope everyone, not just in our office, but everywhere that is deal ing with the flu outbreak, or other illness, will be feeling better sooner, rather than later.

PANAWAGAN

Kung sino man ang kumuha, nakakita o may impormasyon sa nawawalang quilt, maaari po pakitawagan si Lane sa numerong 204- 476-3388, magtext sa 204-212-0136

o ipagbigay alam sa Neepawa RCMP 204-476-7340

Kung kinuha ang quilt sa dahilang kailangan mo ngayong malamig na panahon, tawagan mo lang ako at igagawa kita ng sarili mong quilt.

In addition to never getting tired, the BP robot has a sense of humour. If a customer strokes his cat ears, the robot verbally protests and asks that the customer pat him on the head instead.

A local business man complained to the Press this week that the railway

companies are not following out their advertised schedules regarding shipments from Winnipeg. The rate is supposed to be 50-lbs. for 25¢ and he was forced to pay 55¢ for 9-lbs. He was informed that the package should have a notation of its contents in order to be entitled to the special rate, but failing this the companies can collect the regular tariff. If such is the case, the companies should inform the public.

A small “ocean” of salt exists right under Neepawa, a little more than 100 feet beneath the surface of the earth. This deposit is the source of the salt produced by the Canadian Salt Company in Neepawa. Their product, Windsor Salt, has become a household word across the country…

Although the company here has been taking salt from its well since 1933, at the rate of 85 tons of salt and eight tons of TriSal a day, there has been no significant decrease in the level or chemical composition of the brine.

At present the company is drawing brine from the deposit at the 1450 foot level; this deposit contains 62 per cent salt, the remainder is water and a few minor impurities. There is also a brine stream at the 1200 foot level, which contains 60 per cent brine deposit by the rock formations lifts the brine all but 300 feet to the surface, thus it has to be pumped only the last 300 feet.

Although there were fewer hunters in the area this year, Conservation officer Doug Maxwell said there were more infractions than he has seen since he came to this post four years ago.

He said they started having trouble with nightlighters in August and weekly aerial patrols have been conducting searches since then…

Maxwell said some hunters may kill small fawn or doe during the daytime and wish to continue hunting for a larger kill. They don’t want to waste their tag on a small animal. Some may hide the deer until dark and then pick it up.

By law, each hunter is

given only one tag and must take only one animal regardless of size.

Historical foundations

When we look back through the archived pages of our newspapers, we get a bird’s eye view of how things were done over 100 years ago. Some things really stand out.

Perhaps the first thing that jumps off the pages is the lack of what we would today call “political correct ness”. Opinions and humour back in the day were pretty much unbridled. There was no filter on the editors’ typewriters 100 or more years ago. They said whatever was on their minds and sometimes their comments very bluntly called out politicians and citizens alike.

We should probably not go back the the almost vicious commentary that appeared in the old time newspapers. That’s best left to the internet and Twitter (satire intended). At least the very negative comments in papers from days of old could be attributed to a real person who could be tracked down and held accountable. That’s often not possible in the internet world and that is a very real problem. If you can’t be identified, you probably shouldn’t be saying it.

Also, 100 plus years ago, the news paper was pretty much the only source and place for discussion. There were no phones or computers, few movie theatres and no radio or TV stations. No internet either.

As far as advertising went it was the newspaper, perhaps posters and the Eatons, Sears or Hudson Bay catalogues. The newspaper was king.

I will be the first to admit that newspapers have a lot of competition today, but I would also maintain that a good community newspaper is still near the top of the heap for local news, ads and commentary. Newspapers are sadly missed when they disappear, just ask the 20 communities in Manitoba that have lost their papers in the past five years.

Ken Waddell

Newspapers are sadly missed when they disappear, just asked the 20 communities in Manitoba that have lost theirs in the past five years ”

One very notable difference in comparing papers today with papers from the past is that the ads were much bigger and more creative. Admittedly, some the claims in the ads were out landish and quite unbelievable. Also unlike today, there were very large ads for cigarettes and some cigarette companies even claimed to improve your health.

Because “building an ad” was quite expensive and labour intensive, ads were used over and over again. We still have a few of those old ads, cast in lead or an early version of plastic. They were nailed to a wooden block to be placed in a frame to go on the printing press.

A review of early history, and then a review of more recent history, clearly shows that the newspaper is still has an important role to fill. King is too lofty a title but leader might be an apt description.

I think people understand that a good newspaper has to be a leader in local news, advertising and opinion pieces. But there’s a catch. Newspaper staff can’t be everywhere, all the time.

The local newspapers that are left, cover many communities stretched out over many miles. Everybody knows the cost of gas and labour so it’s no surprise that a newspaper’s staff can’t be everywhere all the time.

The good news is that it has never been easier to submit news, photos, ads and opinion pieces to the local paper. Email is a Godsend. Great stuff can be posted on Facebook for example but few Facebook posts have the reach of the local paper. Facebook contacts run in the dozens or occasionally hundreds. Most local community pa pers reach thousands. If a local paper circulates 2,000 papers, the industry standard is 2.3 people reached per paper printed.

Papers have changed, electronic media has its place but the newspaper is still the information foundation. That said, everyone has to help strengthen that foundation.

Not a hand wringer in the lot…

People watching is one of my favourite pastimes. I learn a great deal from observing actions and reactions of others – about them and about myself! This week I have been reflecting on the women in my life that have been the influencers, mentors, advisors, whether they knew it or not. And there is not a hand wringer in the lot.

A few years ago I was able to spend buckets of quality time with a woman who I had been watching for dec ades, and she never knew the impact she had on my life. I was so thankful that we had the opportunity to speak uninterrupted by life, from our hearts. As I shared the moments where her life had impacted mine she was amazed. I had witnessed her strength, her courage and determination to continue fully living when her world was coming apart. I witnessed her God given ability to forgive, forget, and rebuild a unit. She never was vocal about her struggles with the general public, though I am certain, well, I hope, that she shared with a close friend or confidant. When life presented me with an opportunity to exhibit forgiveness, forgetting and re-building I drew from her example. I am forever grateful. Some saw her as an ordinary, gaunt and sometimes rough person, I saw her as an angel.

Another woman who set a high standard for living experienced the trauma of World War Two as a child. She adapted to life on the prairies as a war bride, rais ing a family, becoming involved in the community and contributing to the work force and being true to herself. She did not suffer fools gladly, chose her words, and delivered them with authority. She made her point! I only knew her for the last three decades of her long life, so I assume that some edges had already been rubbed off, but I never heard her complain, always thankful for the support of family and friends. Always honest. Given many an opportunity to simply sit and wring her hands in despair, she did not.

I have many aunts, fifteen to be exact. Love them almost all the same and have grown from being their niece in many ways. There is one who provided me with a safe place, a place of acceptance and encouragement. Life on the farm was never easy, for years the toilet was a cash and carry in the basement, or a quick trip out side, even though the house had running water for sinks and the washing machine, and the shop and barn had every available advantage. She had huge gardens, loved flowers, birds and trees. Her yard was an oasis on the flat prairie, filled with ponds, birdhouses and fruit trees. As her health declined her sons bought her a golf cart to provide mobility and she became adept at weed control from the seat. Her last years in town were the easiest. She never complained, always welcomed any visitor and gave thanks freely. Not a wringer of hands, a get it done with grace woman.

Looking back, these are three of the women that influ enced my thinking and actions. No hand wringer here!

Are we listening?

In 29 days, we will bid farewell to 2022 and welcome the new year of 2023. How quickly this year has flown by. It’s had its share of good times and bad; happy times and sad; achievements and failures; times of great gain and times of tragic, devastating loss.

It’s also been a year in which frustration with decisions made by those in leadership have led to “Freedom Convoys,” ex pletive-laden rhetoric aimed at government leaders and extreme measures used to end the protests. And while the protests may have ended, the frustration that fueled them is getting more entrenched by the day.

To the frustration, we add the confusion produced by mixed messages from those in whose wisdom and integrity we should be able to trust. When they say one thing and do another, trust is eroded. When they openly violate laws that we are expected to obey, trust is destroyed. When they refuse to be transparently honest and accountable for their actions, they lose the

respect of those they were elected to serve.

When confusion and frus tration take root in people’s minds, they produce hope lessness and despair. That is when people will listen to and vote for anyone who promises them a tomorrow that is better than today.

Unfortunately, as history has shown us, those running for office can be very good at making promises but very poor at keeping them; and the voters often trade one form of disappointment for another and experience even more hopelessness and despair.

Is there hope for a world like ours? Yes, there is. Where can it be found? In the same place where it’s always been-in a person whose earthly life began 2000 years ago in a cave just outside of the little town of

Bethlehem. That person is Jesus Christ; to whom the prophet Isaiah gave the fol lowing names: “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6) Every name is significant.

When the best human wisdom fails to solve the problems we face, we need a “Wonderful Counselor.”

When all our power and resources aren’t enough to meet the needs that people have, we need someone with the power and resources of a “Mighty God.”

When our resources can only provide shortterm, band aid solutions to our problems, we need an “Everlasting Father” to provide solutions that stand the test of time.

When we are looking for someone who can bring lasting peace to our troubled

hearts, peace in our homes, families, communities and world, we need a “Prince of Peace.”

And all of these qualities can be found in the one whose birth we commemor ate at this time of the year-in Jesus who is God the Son, God revealed in human form. He walked among us for 33.5 years, died, rose again and ascended into heaven. Now, by his spirit, he fills the heaven and the earth. He is so close to us that he can hear our slight est whispers when we call to him for help. He knows all about the problems we face. He understands our hopelessness and despair. His knowledge and wisdom can provide solutions that no government or group of governments could ever provide.

But he will not impose himself on us. He waits for us to reach that level of hope lessness and desperation that will cause us to cry out to him and say: “Ok, God; we’ll do it your way.” God is calling us to do just that. Are we listening? If not, we should be.

In the New Testament James 2:4 we read the following words, “Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away”. What can this verse from the Bible mean to us today? Why did God give such a warning to humans?

We like planning, pre dicting events in this life. We have calendars with encircled dates and notes. We sit down and calculate the costs and have this tendency to think that we are in control.

However, we all know that calamities sooner or later come into our lives. We read and watch the

news about some catas trophic and tragic events somewhere in the world.

Too often we think that what happened to those people will never happen to us living in Manitoba, Canada.

When you read the obituaries of those who died recently, you should visualize your own name in the column. Natural disasters, wars and global pandemics should be re minders that death might be just around the next corner.

Life is a loan from God. The Lord gives it, and He takes it. And God can take it and however He wills (Job 1:21, “…Naked I came from my mother’s womb,

and naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord”).

Yes, it may sound cruel, but physical death is deter mined for all of us, whether by heart attack, stroke, cancer, a natural disaster, or respiratory virus. Death is a scheduled, divine appointment. Tragedies help us to get rid of the overconfidence we have that we are in control of our destiny.

Natural disasters and serious sicknesses provide people with strong evi dence that life on earth is brief and uncertain (Heb rews 9:27, “And inasmuch as it is appointed for men

to die once and after this comes judgment”).

What would you do today if you knew you would die by the weekend? We must do those urgent things now. Are you at peace with God when you last minute in this world comes?

Did you repent of your sins and believe in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Today is the day of salva tion. Tomorrow might be too late.

Revelations 22:20b, “… Yes, I am coming quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus”.

Coleslaw

Coleslaw is one of those salads that people do not get excited about and I think much of the reason is because of how it’s typically served. Often coleslaw is drowning in too much dressing and has only cabbage and carrots. So let me help you get creative and serve it as the crunchy side dish your meals have been missing. Cabbage is nutrition ally great in any diet due to its high levels of vitamins C and K, B6, and folate. It is locally grown and more economical to buy then fresh lettuce. Whether you’re craving a tangy vinegar-based coleslaw or the creamy classic version, pack your coleslaw with extras to make it anything but typical.

Extra vegetable suggestions: green onions, red and white onions, sugar snap peas, cilantro, parsley, dill, cauliflower, radishes, celery, raw beets julienned, bell peppers, cucumber and broccoli and frozen peas to name a few.

Extra additions could include apples, pineapple tidbits, grapes, orange segments, shelled sunflower seeds, toasted sesame seeds, raisins, craisins, walnuts, pecans, almonds and cheese to name a few.

Additions to your creamy dressings might include plain yogurt, sour cream, ranch dressing, poppy seed dressing, lime, lemon or orange juice, prepared mustard, cumin, onion powder, Mrs. Dash, lemon pepper, red pepper flakes and apple cider vinegars, wine vinegars, celery seed and honey to name a few.

Big feels for littles

Ihad the pleasure of being able to attend Neepawa’s craft sale at the Yellowhead Center. It was such a great event to connect the community with so many people at tending. I walked into the building looking at all the bright lights and smiling faces and then I looked over at my toddler and realized that she wasn’t having such a great time. We had lured her to the event with prom ise of meeting Santa and were happy to hear her ex cited squeals in the vehicle. That excitement quickly dissipated for her when she saw the crowds, heard the noises and her anxiety took over. We encouraged her along doing what good parents are supposed to do, saying “You’re OK”, bribing her with candy and basically any other insane method of coaxing her in. We were blessed to get one of those classic cry ing on Santa’s knee photos that most parents have at one point or another (and thanks to an excellent and patient photographer, one of her with a neutral face). We stayed for 20 minutes trying to get her excited about all the new things but quickly realized this was too much for her.

I could have looked at this day as a complete and total failure. She wasn’t happy to see Santa, she wasn’t

excited by all the smiling people and new and pretty things we could buy. What did I do wrong? This is a question that so many parents ask themselves, especially those of us with kids born during COVID. Rather than looking at this day as a complete failure, I tried to empathize with my daughter and connect with where her anxiety was coming from. The little ones that were born during COVID are generally hav ing a harder time socially.

There is naturally a lot more anxiety with large crowds, grocery stores and having pressure to be social because they simply didn’t have that exposure from infancy. Anxiety in children is often sparked by being overstimulated, but what does the word stimuli mean? Its any thing that gets one of your main sense systems going. Crowds mean loud noises that are hard to identify, children aren’t adept at reading emotion yet, so a sea of faces is confusing. Smells of food and incense and gentle touches of bod ies near one another seems

mundane to me but to my little it counts as sensory overload which manifests as anxiety.

We need to remember that our littles are experi encing everything in the world for the first time. Their little brains are tak ing in a massive amount of information and trying to create meaning from that. I will continue to take my daughter to big events, even though I know she’s scared because avoidance will only feed her anxiety. However, in the moment when she is scared, I’m going to say, “It’s OK to be scared” because fear is a normal and appropriate emotion for the situation. I’m go ing to give her a big hug to reassure her that I will be walking beside her through her fear because that’s my role as her mama. We are going to go together into battle against fear because I want to teach her that it’s important to face our fears, even when we are scared.

The Neepawa Titans appear to have found a winning formula out on the ice as of late. The team has won four of its last five MJHL games, including a weekend sweep of the de fending league champions, the Dauphin Kings.

On Friday, Nov. 25, the Titans earned themselves a decisive 5-1 win at home over the Kings. The scor ing was divided up evenly amongst the Titans’ roster with five different goal scorers. Hayden Stocks and Cade Bendtsen contributed first in the opening 20 min utes of play. Will Highet and John Blake followed up in the second period, while Cooper Kasprick added one more in the

third period for Neepawa.

Tyson Pauze was the lone scorer for Dauphin, with a goal in the second per iod. Bendtsen was named first star of the game for Neepawa, with a goal and two assist. John Blake was second star (1G - 0A), while goaltender Mason Lobreau (28 saves) was credited as the third star.

The same two teams would face-off once again the next night, though this time it would be in Dau phin. This game would be much closer, but in the end, Neepawa still found the win, taking it by a score of 2-1. Briley Wood and Hayden Stocks both scored for the Titans in the first period. Dauphin replied exactly mid-way through the second period.

Obituary

William Arnold Hollier died on November 2, 2022 at the age of 50 in Neepawa, Manitoba. Royce will always be remembered for his big smile, hugs, and ability to make people laugh. Royce is survived by his wife and best friend of 25 years, Sherri (nee Osborne), cherished children Kassia (Cole Krutkewich), and Rylan. Royce was born to Wayne and Noreen Hollier on May 2, 1972 in Russell, Manitoba. He enjoyed life to the fullest while growing up in Neepawa from age three on. He is deeply missed by his siblings: Karen Hollier (Art Scott), Kelvin Hollier (Cathie), Audra Rainka (Mark); his nieces and nephews: Tain, Troy, Ashley, Courtney, Brandice, Kensie, Brette, Jake, Emily, Brett, Will, Ben, and their partners. Also grieving the loss of Royce is Sherri’s family: mother Mina Laycock (Fred), Tanis Shipman (Paul), Wes Osborne (Ritchell); and their children: Carman, Gina, and Nicolette. Royce was predeceased by his father-in-law Wayne Osborne, niece Avery Osborne, and his maternal and paternal grandparents. Royce’s aunts, uncles, cousins, many friends, colleagues, and students are deeply saddened by his unexpected death.

Royce held many jobs in his lifetime: waiter, car detailer, gas attendant, bank teller, bar manager, car salesman, assistant to an MLA, and a teacher. He was a jack of all trades and a master of many. We are all going to miss our go-to guy for answering any question we may have and fixing anything that is broken or in need of repair. Royce could teach himself how to do anything! He loved and lived with his whole heart and left a radiantly positive impact on all who met him. Royce has left us with many life lessons that we will strive to carry on: “No person is too small to be seen,” the importance of kindness, helping others, and the ability to build friendships with anyone and everyone.

The family would like to thank everyone who has reached out in support through kind words, food, supplies, help with the funeral, the slideshows, long walks with us, quick texts, and visits. Special thanks to Royce’s former student and friend, Kailynn, for her help in finding the words to write this obituary.

To know Royce Hollier was to know that you were loved by Royce Hollier. If love alone could have saved him, he never would have left. How lucky we were to have him in our life for as long as we did.

A gathering to honour Royce was held at the Yellowhead Centre in Neepawa, MB on November 10, 2022 with Rev. Chad McCharles and Rev. Joe Ball officiating in the presence of his ‘68 Firebird. A recording of the gathering is available on the White’s Funeral Home website: www.whitesfh.ca/obituary/Royce-Hollier

Obituary

Jean Mary Sneesby

February 18, 1926 – November 24, 2022 (age 96)

Jean Mary Sneesby (Innes) passed away on November 24, 2022 at the age of 96, with family by her side.

Jean was predeceased by her parents, Charles and Laura Innes (Shaver), her husband, Charles, her brother James Innes and sister Elsie McLaughlin.

Jean is survived by her son Allan, his wife Kelly, their sons, Ryan (Kayla and great granddaughter Remi), Matthew, and Tyson, her son Murray, his wife Brenna and their sons Hayden, Cole and Jon.

Jean was born in Plumas on February 18, 1926. She grew up and attended school in Plumas. She worked for Canadian Salt Co. in Neepawa and Bank of Montreal in both Neepawa and the main office in Winnipeg. Jean was very active in sports. She loved playing softball, curling, bowling and golf. She continued to golf into her 80s and even managed to get a hole in one during her career. Jean enjoyed many years as a member of the Eastern Star Lodge.

Jean married Charles Sneesby (Charlie) on September 27, 1964 and lived in Neepawa until moving to Country Meadows at 91. Jean always had a big garden and was a master at composting leaves and kitchen scraps. Jean’s garden always had something ready to snack on (peas, carrots, and raspberries). Jean loved to bake, making Saskatoon pies, bread and rhubarb cake were her specialties. Ice cream was served with everything!! If baking wasn’t ready, there were always Dilly Bars from DQ on hand for when grandsons came to visit.

When not driving kids to their activities, Charlie and Jean always enjoyed camping and fishing trips. After the boys left home, they enjoyed several trips to Arizona.

Thanks to all the staff at Country Meadows Personal Care Home. Jean called Country Meadows home for the last 5+ years. Jean started going to Country Meadows for the day program, and enjoyed it so much that she wanted to move there but complained they said she was too healthy at 90. She would say she was” tired of her own company” and was happy to make her move there at 91, leaving the family home. She enjoyed her years there playing bingo and participating in the many activities they offered. Jean was very comfortable at Country Meadows and continuously marveled at how well they looked after her, and for that her family was very grateful.

Obituary Obituary

Violet, born in the Pictou region of Nova Scotia, was raised by her maternal grandparents and included in an active, hard working, extended family. The early years developed a strong work ethic that served her well. She helped with the usual chores of hauling wood and water and working in the garden. Violet also helped her grandfather shoeing horses, and here began her passion for horses.

As a young woman of twenty Violet gathered all her worldly goods and in response to a companion needed for an invalid ad in the Western Producer, she took the train to Manitoba and began her life here. The Wiesbrot family became her family. Violet expanded her role to help with anything that needed to be done, excelling in preparing the Welsh ponies for show with her and Geordie taking home many a red ribbon. After Geordie’s passing in 1998, Violet remained on the farm, enjoying her garden, reading and caring for her beloved cats.

Violet faced health issues and in 2020 she moved into the Centennial Apartments. She adjusted well, appreciating the company and the care, continuing to record all phone calls and visits. Violet especially appreciated to loving and generous care that Shirley Armstrong and Linda Crooks provided.

Violet was predeceased by Geordie Weisbrot, her birth mother Margaret Roper and grandparents Clarence and Viola Campbell. She is survived by family in Nova Scotia: Linda and Fred Sangster, Margie and Phillip Mac Donald, Bobby and Nancy Roper, Jimmy and Joni Roper, Dorothy and Pat Doyle, Diane and Dave Bowen.

Violet will be missed by the Weisbrot family, neighbours Harold and Rebekah Friesen and close friends Cornie and Hilda Fehr.

Funeral Services for Violet were held on Saturday November 26th at the Gladstone United Church with interment at the Gladstone Cemetery.
