Forty trail enthusiasts headed out on Sunday, June 3 for a run/walk to raise funds for the Langford Walking Trail. People from nine different families, as well as 13 individuals
participated. Their efforts raised $315 for the Langford Trails, after expenses, plus the prize money for the poker derby winners. One of the participants, Darryl Gerrard of Neepawa said. “This was a great event to develop awareness of the Langford trail and help raise funds for its maintenance. We were very happy

A fashionable finale for Kerreen’s Clothing By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
After nearly two decades of providing the community with the latest in quality fashions, Kerreen’s Clothing in Neepawa has decided now’s the time to have their biggest sale ever. It will, however, also be their final sale ever, as the well regarded local business has decided to cease operations. Maureen Turner, the owner and operator of Kerreen’s, formally made the announcement to her clientele in late-May. Turner said that while this was a very difficult decision to make, it felt as though it was the right time to do so. “Everybody at some point says to themselves ‘When am I going to retire?’, and so this is what we decided. And I need to spend more time with my husband. He’s been working in Saskatchewan and I’ve been working here in Neepawa. We get a chance to get together every six days, so perhaps it’s time,” noted Turner. “For as long as we’ve been in business, I’ve had a great staff and the support that we’ve had from the community has been tremendous. If it wasn’t the timing of it, I probably wouldn’t have closed just now, but in this business, there are really two opportunities during the year for me to close. When I have a good stock of summer wear or in the fall when I have a good stock of winter wear so that you can have a decent offering to customers.” It all began in 2000 As for the history of the business, Kerreen’s first began in 2000 with a slightly different focus on fashion, as it was a western shop. Originally located on Gill Drive, Turner said that it quickly became popular enough that it could branch out to ladies wear and therefore needed additional space to accom-

modate. The next stop was Highway #16, along with Brahma’s Grill and Steakhouse. That larger location provided three times the space that Kerreen’s previously had, allowing the store to flourish over the next two years. Then, in 2008, the ongoing success forced ladies fashion to relocate to 244 Hamilton, while the western shop remained at the Brahma’s location. That worked fine for about a year, until the U.S. housing crisis hit, which caused global ramifications to property values. The ladies fashions would move back to the highway until 2013 when the business in its entirety would find a new home in the former Odd Fellows Building at 376 Mountain Avenue. To go along with the change in location was a change in focus, as the ladies wear became the primary
attraction, though Turner did add that some men’s wear was also available due to popular demand. Emphasis on ladies wear “We finally decided to shift attention specifically to the ladies wear, but there’s a little bit of men’s wear mixed in, but that was because I had a loyal clientele who’d walk in and get their jeans,” stated Turner. “Even now, we’re getting calls from men, who are asking ‘Can I still get some jeans? Do you still have my size?’ And I am doing one last order.” The final location shift would occur two years later when Turner decided to purchase and then relocate to the former Sears building in downtown Neepawa. One thing that followed Turner from location to location was a dedicated client

base, which she expressed gratitude for. She believed that dedication was earned by ensuring they always provided service that was above and beyond what you’d receive from a fashion chain in the city. Personal service “That’s part of what we were about. The personal
service. [For example] We have one order that’s a 33 waist with a 32 inseam. Nowadays, that’s not an off-the-shelf size for most stores, and most places would be like ‘Oh sorry, we don’t have that.’ and provide no followup or no offer to order it. I’m building an order right now for some of the people who realize
they’re not going to be able to get their jeans [after the closure],” Turner said. In reflecting on the past 18 years, Turner was quick to thank those who were always supportive of the business over the years, including her employees, Brenda Madill and Marilyn Kaye. She said it’s been a tremendous experience. “I’ve been at it 18 years and enjoyed interacting with the customers throughout that time. But I think I’ve had all the fun I need to have and now it’s just time to focus on other things that are important,” stated Turner. “We’ve done well, we’ve had fun and it’s just time to move on.”

Foundation for the future at the Roxy Theatre Banner Staff
Neepawa Banner & Press
Last week, the Roxy T heatre in Nee pawa played host to a ribbon cutting a century in the making. On May 28, the Neepawa Theatre Centre, the not-for-profit volunteer organization that owns and operates the historic theatre, celebrated the completion of Phase one of their repointing project. It’s the first part of a three phase project that will address degraded brickwork on the west side of the building. T he Roxy T heatre was built in 1906 and renovated to its current Art Deco style in 1940. It was designated a munici-
pal heritage site in 2006. Since its construction, time and weather have taken their toll on some the building’s brick and stone work. The west side of the theatre has been especially impacted, as water flows off the neighbouring building, eroding the mortar joints between the bricks. Repairing this brickwork has long been a goal, but emergency repairs to the boiler, in 2009, roof, in 2010, and required upgrade to digital projection, in 2011, pushed this project to the back burner. Last year, the board got serious about making this project a reality and began pursuing grants. Talking about the project, Facilities chair Jeff Braun
When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule for everything she says.
Proverbs 31:26 (The Living Bible)
said, “The foundation repairs, as well as the brick re-pointing are important projects, as they will greatly increase the lifespan of the building. Once completed, they will allow the theatre to provide many more years of use for the community.” Two site v isits with representatives from the provincial government focused on the need to repoint the brickwork on the building’s west side, including the stone foundation. This involves a mason scraping out the degraded mortar and replacing it, as well as any damaged bricks. More bricks and mortar on page 11

ate last week, t he Manitoba Community Newspapers Association (MCNA) issued the following press release. It is my privilege to serve as president of MCNA. “The Manitoba Community Newspapers Association (MCNA) has applauded the provincial government for its move to amend Bill 19, The Planning Amendment Act, so that Manitoba municipalities will still be required to place public notices in local newspapers. ‘The MCNA board and all our members are very pleased that Bill 19 was amended,’ MCNA president Ken Waddell said. ‘We extend our thanks to everyone who appeared at the hearings of the Standing Committee on Social and Economic Development and who offered their opinions to bring about this change. We especially appreciate the many letters of support MCNA received from towns and municipalities.’ Bill 19, as originally written, would have eliminated the requirement for governments to place notices in newspapers, which would have limited the ability of many Manitobans to learn of the activities and plans of local government. MCNA lobbied all political parties, the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, and appeared before the standing committee to argue that being afforded public notice is a democratic right of the people of Manitoba. neepawa

MCNA welcomes changes to the Planning Amendment Act

JUNE 8, 2018
RIGHT IN THE CENTRE
Ken Waddell On May 29, the provincial government and Hon. Jef f Wharton, municipal relations minister, tabled amendments in the Manitoba Legislative Assembly withdrawing sections 19.2 and 25 of Bill 19, which dealt with public notice. Unanimous consent was required and was given. Final reading and voting on the newly amended bill will take place Thurs., May 31. However, the MCNA notes that Bill 8, The Government Notices Modernization Act, which will be considered this fall by the Manitoba Legislature, also eliminates requirements that notices be posted in local newspapers. This move by the government was applauded in many corners as a victory for democracy and it was. The government listened for once and changed course on a policy that would have been bad for democracy and for the public in general. It would have also had some disconcerting ef fects potentially for local planning districts. If Bill 19
had passed unamended, there surely would have been lawsuits against planning districts and their partnering municipalities. It would only have been a matter of time before a person would have sued over a development that had gone through unnoticed by the complainant. Later this year, Bill 8 returns to the legislature and it is a very dangerous bill as well. It has been delayed by the NDP and leader Wab Kinew to be debated in the fall session. The government can expect a vigorous fight on Bill 8 as it states the government can change about 25 different acts without proper notice as well. Hopefully the reluctant wisdom shown on Bill 19 will be transferred to Bill 8. Disclaimer: The writer serves as a volunteer president of the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association. The views expressed in this column are the writer’s personal views and are not to be taken as being the view of the MCNA board or Banner & Press staff.

egrets-- it’s almost impossible to make it through life without a couple. But what do people regret most as they look back on their lives? A recent study by a Cornell Psychology professor, Tom Gilovich, and former Cornell grad student, Shai Davidai, shine a light on some of the things we regret the most and what we can do about it. It turns out that what we most regret is not living up to our ideal MY selves. The research PERSPECTIVE paper, ca l led “The Ideal Road N o t Ta k e n”, builds upon two Kate areas of study. Jackman-Atkinson The first is that people tend to regret the things they haven’t done more than the things they have. The second is that our sense of self is made up of three elements: the actual (the attributes a person believes they possess), ideal (the attributes they would ideally like to possess) and the ought (the person they feel they should be based on duties, obligations and responsibilities). Throughout the course of six studies, Gilovich and Davidai found that most people, 72 per cent, experienced regrets about their ideal self more than their ought self. Additionally, for three quarters of the participants, their most significant regret was not fulfilling their ideal self. This echoes more anecdotal evidence. In 2013, Bonnie Ware, a palliative care nurse, compiled a book of the regrets her patients shared with her. The book was based on a 2009 blog post, which garnered millions of views. According to her work, the most frequently cited regret was that people wished they had the courage to live a life true to themselves, not the life others expected of them. “Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made,” she wrote. The third most common regret was patients’ wish that they had the courage to express their feelings. “Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming,” she wrote. These regrets aren’t new, but why do they persist? Living in a wealthy and free society, we have the opportunity to follow our dreams, why don’t we? Gilovich and Davidai hypothesized that there are a couple of reasons we fail to follow our dreams. One is that people are more likely to take practical and psychological action to repair ought self regrets over ideal self regrets. For example, when faced with regrets over failing to visit a dying relative (ought self regret) or failing to pursue a romantic interest (ideal self regret), people are more likely to repair the ought regrets, such as making peace with the loss, and move forward. The study’s authors also found that ought expectations are much more concrete and usually include rules or well defined expectations. Ideal self goals tend to be much less well defined, making it harder to measure success. What does it really mean to “be a better person”? There’s always more you can do and this uncertainly can create a sense of failure. What does this research mean for those of us looking to live a life we can look back upon without regret? Gilovich says the biggest take is away to, “Just do it… Don’t wait around for inspiration, just plunge in. Waiting around for inspiration is an excuse.” Many people fail to pursue their goals because they are embarrassed or concerned about others’ judgement and allow this fear to hold them back. If you want to learn to play a musical instrument, the short term potential embarrassment of being a poor player will be much less significant in the long term than the regret of never getting up on stage.

Lessons learned after grad
I
have never been asked to be the guest speaker at a graduation ceremony. That’s probably just as well, because I really don’t know what I would say that hasn’t already been said many times. Most grad speeches contain the same material; congratulations to the grads on their achievement (much deserved), gratitude to the parents and teachers for their support while their children were in public school (also much deserved), and words of assurance, telling the grads that there is no limit to the things they can do if they set high goals and work hard to achieve them. Now there is nothing wrong with the above words. The commendations to grads, parents and teachers are well deserved. The best wishes for the future are heart-felt and sincere. But I would like the speakers to share some lessons they learned after they graduated from high school—lessons like the ones I share below—les-
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein sons I learned after my high school graduation. First, the diploma you’re handed isn’t what you think it is. True, it does recognize your high school achievement. But it also enrolls you in the School of Life. This is the school in which you will learn about life by living it. You will take initiatives. Some will work out well. Some won’t. If you are wise (and I hope and pray you will be), you will learn from the mistakes you make and resolve not to repeat them. This will continue until the day you die. Second, as each day unfolds, you will do two things. You will build on what you achieved the previous day and you will lay a foundation for what you will do tomorrow. Ever ything you think, every word you speak and every task you complete
will determine the quality of your building and the strength of your foundation. So guard your mind carefully. Fill it with positive thoughts that will produce encouraging words and actions that will help create a better world. Third, there is nothing wrong with abandoning dreams that have become nightmares. Let’s be honest. This can happen. That perfect relationship you have with your high school sweetheart can go sour. Your perfect job might not be as perfect as you thought it would be. After a year in university, you might decide that you’re not cut out for that kind of training or all that excited about the job prospects after you graduate. That’s fine. You can let those dreams die. You can take comfort in knowing that those experi-
ences were not in vain; nor was going through them a waste of time. They were the best things that could have happened to you. They were God’s way of guiding you to the places where he wants you to be and surrounding you with the people he has chosen to help you complete the work he put you on this earth to do. So, as you begin each new day, I hope you will resolve to be your best and to do your best; no matter where you are or what you may be asked to do. Your commit ment to excellence will be noted. Your attention to detail will be appreciated. The pleasant attitude you show in dealing with others will earn you the respect of those around you. Life won’t always be fair. You will face discouragement and disappointment along the way. But you will not face them alone. God will be with you to help you stand tall, be strong and make the most of each new day.

t was sitting there, in a nearly empty room in the basement. Forlorn, abandoned, in need of love. A household was slowly being downsized, the word we dread. Left alone was half of a vintage vanity. Once partnered with another set of drawers, bravely supporting a low shelf and a round mirror, sat this half of a whole. After my initial gasp, I quietly ment ioned t hat i f no family member wanted the unit I would love to have it. My guide was willing to toss it in the truck immediately, but I deferred, for the family would be meeting shortly and, perhaps, someone would want it. Two days later it was deposited in my garage. Part of my longing was for half of a whole. Part of my longing was that the unit could become a bedside table for the
HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen spare room. The chest of drawers, and the vanity with a mirror, where of the same vintage, the soft curve of the waterfall top, colonial maple in colour. I waited for a reasonable amount of time, fearing that someone might still claim it, before I started the restoration process. I won’t say that I’ve mastered str ipping and staining reclaimed furniture, but I am pretty good at it. [A few weeks ago a family member sat in my liv ing room admiring a chest of drawers that I had refinished two years ago. The TV belongs on top of it. The comment was made that someday she would like one like that. I
reminded her that she had given it to me when I found it in the basement of her home -stained, unsteady and bereft!] It felt g reat to ta ke the sander and remove residual glue that had held t he or ig ina l unit together. In some places the colour had faded, and the handles needed extra care, decorative amber coloured Bakelite ovals snuggled in the brass pulls. Ornate carvings grace the solid wooden bars between the drawers. It is beautiful. In my haste I neglected to don protective gloves before handling the stripping compound. No permanent harm done! A minor repair
to a back corner, and it is all I saw it could be. The mood set, I decided it was time to work on another piece of furniture. This is also a small unit that could serve as a bedside table, or a catch-all at an entrance. Many years ago, when I was first starting out as an independent, a carpenter friend made it for me. Years ago a grandchild borrowed it, and with my permission spray painted it a glossy black. Now back in my care, the black had to go! I purchased a coarse sand paper, moved the unit to the open air, donned a mask, and set to work. My aim was to dim the shine so that even an undercoat could bind! Some time, and much effort later, goal achieved. And now it sits. I don’t know what it’s new purpose is to be, and so I wait to choose a paint colour. And there is always just one more project to go!

Observation
By Addy Oberlin
During our life time we see much progress. The other day there was the opening of a beautiful trades building at the high school where the students can prepare themselves for a trade that they might be interested in after high school is finished. I see pictures of a summer camp with a new kitchen/dining room and new bathrooms. I remember that I had to learn to clean outhouses when I worked there. I hear the farmer’s son tell his Dad “times have changed.” If I would go back to the big city where I came from almost 30 years ago, I would not recognize it anymore. Sky trains are moving above the streets and the change is incredible. However one thing will never change..Hebrews 13:8 tells us “Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever.” In the years past they have tried to burn and destroy the Bible, but I believe that God’s Word will stand true till the end of the age.. This will give us peace during all the changes in our life time.

Treading water For many years now, the kids from Eden school have been offered swimming lessons in June because of the fact they have to stay in school an additional 15 minutes of everyday, a.m and p.m, to accomodate the children who are bussed from Neepawa. Now however, because of Neepawa Recreation’s recent decision, swimming lessons for these kids are no more. Not only does this effect the Eden children, but it also effects the Plumas kids and colonies and now the parents of all these children are scrambling to find swimming lessons for their children or worse yet...nothing at all. These are life saving skills that some day may help these children out or help someone else in need. Rural children are especially susceptible to drowning when there are dugouts and water holes too tempting to stay out of on a hot day. In the June 1st issue of the Banner & Press, the article about the pool stated the reason the pool wasn’t offering swimming lessons to all these kids was because most of the life guards were high school students, therefore the lessons could not be completed in the month of June. Most. What about the other lifeguards then? Why don’t you tell the parents of the children you threw out of your pool the real reason they aren’t getting their swimming lessons this year.

They are trying to steal my election!
during the campaign season to accommodate the increased traffic of callers. Marvin Walsh and Farley Puckett were helping out by manning the phones. Although the youth were busy preparing their prized sheep and rabbits for the Spring County Fair set to begin the next day, and Valley women were testing their recipes one final time, the drama surrounding the upcoming vote kept most listeners glued to their radios. Cooper was concerned. History is filled with politicians who kicked off loud, boisterous campaigns filled with grand ideas. Like many such campaigns, he had attracted a loyal following. As is often the case, however, the more time passed, the more folks began to realize Raymond’s platform was made up of make-believe issues and empty promises. Realizing she had no chance to overtake Cooper in a run-off election, Juliet asked all her supporters to cast their ballots for Bland. She made a special plea to those who had voted for Mickey Mouse, Ima Goose and Santa Claus. Cooper recited a laundry list of “powers and principalities” who were conspiring to take what was rightfully his. They included Iris Long and the rest of the elite media; the Bank of Canada; Chief Dibble and his friends in Ottawa; Sarah Hyden-Smith, a newcomer who had come to town
with her hyphenated name and dangerous new ideas; and Juliet Stoughton with her political machine. He had a surprise of his own, however. Waiting on the line to speak with Raymond was none other than Tangi Blevins, who hadn’t heard the tirade preceding their conversation. Raymond praised the gospelsinging celebrity scheduled to perform at the fair on Friday night, then followed with a question, “May I ask you something personal, Tangi?” Not waiting for an answer, he continued. “Given the choice, would you vote for a puppet of the wealthy elite, hand-picked by the media and federal government,” pausing momentarily, “or would you vote for a God-fearing, humble servant of the people?” “If those were my choices, I suppose I’d vote for the humble servant of the people.” Quickly thanking Tangi before hanging up the phone, Raymond leaned into the microphone and softly said, “There you have it. Right from the mouth of our nation’s biggest gospel celebrity.” Leaning over Cooper’s shoulder, toward the microphone, Marvin added, “I believe that’s our first endorsement of the day, Mayor!” Sitting by the radio in her rocker, Beatrice Justice whispered knowingly, “Proverbs 16:18.”

The special edition of “Renderings with Raymond” took the Valley by surprise Monday morning. Most folks expected fireworks on the first show following Juliet Stoughton’s huge announcement on Friday, but even his most loyal followers didn’t expect their champion to begin three hours earlier than usual. Following a rousing rendition of O Canada, recorded in 1983 by Tangi, Raymond introduced Lutheran pastor Brother Jacob, who reluctantly offered a prayer to begin the show. Inviting Brother Jacob was a tactical maneuver meant to sway any “fence sitting” Lutheran run-off voters to move into the Cooper camp before the Thursday vote. Cooper thanked the young pastor, then added, “Surely the Lord is on our side,” turning down Jacob’s microphone before he had a chance to respond. It had been a harried three days for much of the Valley as folks discussed the surprise announcement by mayoral candidate Juliet Stoughton on Friday evening. Citing a littleknown passage in the Lennox Valley Election Code written in 1948, Juliet withdrew from the run-off election within 24 hours of the Thursday ballot count, allowing “Silver Tongue” Mayor Dick Bland to slide into her spot and run head-to-head against Raymond Cooper six days later. “I cannot believe” shouted Cooper as he began his show, “that woman thinks the good folks of Lennox Valley are naive enough to follow her orders and cast their votes for our so-called ‘mayor’ of the past four years!” The phone lights were already blinking. Raymond had increased his phone lines from one to four

Big innovations in small Manitoba communities Gasification project in local municipal-run landfill
Submitted Neepawa Banner & Press For the first time in Manitoba, a zerowaste system is being tested at the regional landfill site owned and operated by Evergreen Environmental Technologies (EET), located 20 km west of Neepawa, in the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah. This project is a joint initiative between EET’s municipal partners who began to explore the possibility of developing a regional waste to value-added project back in 2015 after being made aware of technology designed by Celtic Power & Machining (based in Rapid City, Manitoba) and Sigma Professional Engineering, located in Florida. “The “zero waste system” that is provided by the process of gasification results in a highly efficient means of disposal of nearly 100 percent of municipal waste,” said Monty Peckover, chair of Evergreen Environmental Technologies and councillor for the RM of Minto-Odanah. “We are looking forward to seeing the results and being able to save money for our communities while, at the same time, protecting the environment. I also look forward to the future use someday of the syngas energy to be converted to other uses such as a greenhouse to grow local produce throughout the entire year in our northern climates.” In partnership with Eco-West Canada, the Southwest Regional Development Corporation and with the support of
the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, the pilot project was awarded a $350,000 grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund. The system consists of an individual ‘zero waste’ unit, based in a standard shipping container. Each unit will be able to process up to 12 20 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day. This process can convert almost 100% of unsorted municipal waste into recyclable materials such as metal and glass while creating a syngas through the gasification process. Throughout North America, it has been demonstrated that gasification waste treatment systems have had several positive environmental impacts, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and eliminating the need for expanding local or regional landfills. The result is cleaner air, a less polluted environment in the proximity of landfills, a better quality of life for area residents, and can in some cases also create skilled jobs for the operation of the gasification system. Open in 2003, the EET landfill currently serves the RMs of Minto-Odanah, Elton, and North Cypress-Langford and the Towns of Neepawa, Minnedosa and Carberry, which have a combined population of just under 13,000. The pilot project will be operational in the spring of 2018, where all the required testing will be conducted to determine long term viability of the technology and to ensure all the provincial regulations and standards are met.

1988: Stanley McCutchin wins national honours By Jessica Morton Neepawa Banner & Press 80 years ago Tuesday, June 7, 1938 Belching black smoke and the clanging of the Neepawa f ire bell announced to Neepawa citizens Friday night just before six o’clock that the Neepawa Salt Limited plant was in for a big fire. Within half an hour damage to the extent of about $7,000 was done which also meant that 25 employees would be without work temporarily. The fire started in the roof of the storage building on the west side. It was noticed by Vincent Merriman, who broke into the office building and telephoned the fire brigade. Almost at the same time the smoke was noticed by the watchmen, Fred Mizen, who had passed through the building a few minutes before but had noticed nothing amiss then. The tar paper on the roof burned quickly sending up clouds of black smoke that drifted east over the town giving the impression of a gigantic blaze. With only one hydrant to get water from, the firemen were hindered somewhat but even at that they had the fire under control within half an hour. 70 years ago Thursday, June 10, 1948 The local senior ball team has played three games to date, Plumas 5 all tie, Eden at Eden 8-7 for Eden, and Monday at home 17-1 for Neepawa. Something over 400 fans turned out to see the game at which the local batters fattened their batting averages at the expense of three Eden twirlers. The local boys played some good snappy ball only having three errors charged against them. Batting averages are: M. Rush. 625, R. Rush. 545, McKinnon. 500, Guinan. 444, Murray. 426, Howart.
400, Guinn. 400, Inverarity. 363, Sprague. 333, Craig. 300, Kilburn. 250 and Loiselle 154. 60 years ago Tuesday, June 10, 1958 A team of American scientists and associated workers arrived in Neepawa on the weekend to conduct a study on cosmic rays. They expect to be here about six weeks or two months. The team, with Dr. Peter Meyer, University of Chicago Physicist in charge, is conducting its experiments from the Neepawa airport. Balloons containing a scientific recording apparatus will be sent to altitudes of about 100,000 feet. The project is a part of the International Geophysical Year. Neepawa was chosen as the site for the tests because the bombardment of solar cosmic rays is particularly heavy at this latitude. 50 years ago Tuesday, June 11, 1968 A large barn on the farm of Frank Kuharski in the Eden district was completely destroyed by fire which broke out shortly before midnight Monday. The Neepawa Fire Department was called to the scene, but the barn was completely ablaze before they arrived and concentrated their efforts in wetting other buildings to keep the fire from spreading. The barn, 32 feet by 50 feet, was built only two years ago. Along with the barn, 400 bales of hay were lost in the fire. Mr. Kuharski and friends managed to remove a number of calves from the barn and some equipment, including his portable milking machine. The fire lit up the midnight sky in the Eden district and attracted a number of spectators, including a number who followed the fire truck out from Neepawa. 40 years ago Thursday, June 8, 1978 Gene Collins from the
Canadian Wildlife Association with a novel idea for increasing duck nesting sites in the area. His idea? To sink giant, round flax straw bales into the shallow waters of sloughs and ponds in the area to provide extra “shoreline” for ducks looking for a nesting site. “I like to call them duck motels and hotels,” quipped Bob Burns as he explained Collins’ idea to those attending the local Wildlife meeting on Monday evening. “It’s been proven that the idea of nesting islands does work.” Mr. Burns continued, “one of the most frequent users of such spots is the popular Mallard.” The Canadian Wildlife Service has $5,000 available for the purpose of increasing duck flocks in this area. 30 years ago Tuesday, June 7, 1988 Stan McCutchin, an 18-year-old NACI student, composed a poem on the subject of war, then entered it in a contest and has since won national honours. The students poetic endeavours began last fall, when, in Brian Bailey’s English class, he was taking an elective on social protest and poetry. “I chose war as my topic and made a presentation of five poems. Some of the kids, and Mr. Bailey, thought this one was good, so I entered the contest. I took the poem to the local Legion and they sent it to the Legion Literary Remembrance Day contest. It won the Portage zone, then won the Command which is Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, and went on to national competition.” The poem entitled, “What I Am,” won first prize in the senior division at the national level. He will read his winning poem on national television during the Remembrance Day service, November 11, 1988. What I Am I am the glory of action The test of manhood The action of patriotism And the fulfilment of the soul.

New ownership for the Neepawa Laundromat By Jessica Morton Neepawa Banner & Press On Thursday, May 31, at 3:45 p.m. the Neepawa Dry Cleaners officially changed owners, for the fifth time in its history. Judy Dalgliesh, who ran the business for 20 years, handed over the company to Brad Hackewich and family. Dalgliesh has no specific plans for retirement yet but said “I will be a full time grandma.” When asked what the future plans of the company are Hackewich replied “We are going to keep operations the same, do some slight renovations to freshen the building up and we will be having a re-opening celebration in July.” Many years ago, what started out as an empty lot turned into a piece of Neepawa’s history. In 1924 E.G. Hipwell started a
business which manufactured “Hips” fruit flavoured syrups out of Arden, Manitoba. In the following years his son, Justin Hipwell, was brought in to the business. In 1950 Justin moved to Neepawa and built the block that is known today as the “Neepawa dry cleaning and laundromat,” as the fruit flavoured syrup business spread through central and western Canada. The fruit syrup business was sold in 1976. During the slower winter months Justin operated a fur dealership called “Paris Furs,” which lasted until 1980 when he retired. On September, 21, 1978 Jack and Lorna McDougall opened the coin-operated dry cleaners and laundromat facility. The McDougall’s then sold their business to Jim Lukin, who, in 1998, sold the building to Judy Dalgliesh.

Portion of C.N. property sold to developer Clears way for 48 suite senior housing
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press A major section of the former C.N. property in Neepawa has been sold to a developer. On Tuesday, June 5, Neepawa Town Council approved the sale of two multifamily residential lots to Stone Cliff Builders Inc., for a value of $350,000. Stone Cliff, who is based out of Steinbach, had been pursuing the construction of a 48 suite multi-level unit for seniors housing on Commerce Street. Recently, however, they have redirected their interest towards developing the project on the C.N. subdivision. The purchase agreement will see Stone Cliff buy 128,363 square feet of land in the north-east corner of the property. Construction on the project is estimated to begin in the late summer or early fall. Neepawa Mayor Adrian de Groot said that the Town Office has been working with the developer for quite some time. “Credit goes to our administration for taking a look at the numbers and coming up with a business case and approach them,” said de Groot “It’s a tremendous opportunity, that we felt that, having a unit like they were planning would be advantageous.” Additional details on the proposal will appear in the June 15 edition of the Banner & Press. Budz n Bloom bows out Budz n Bloom Daycare Centre has been let out of its contractual obligation to purchase 290 Davidson Street. Budz ’n Bloom had been
planning to build a new daycare facility on the property and had made a deal with the Town of Neepawa for the land back in March 2017. As part of that agreement, the Resource Centre, which had occupied the space was torn down. However, with the announcement late last year of a major addition being built to Neepawa Area Collegiate that would include a new stand-alone child care centre; the need for this other daycare proposal was no longer as needed. In a formal request to Council, Budz n Bloom asked to be released from the contract. Council obliged, voting unanimously to let them out of the deal. Ownership of the land will remain with the Town of Neepawa, though Mayor de Groot said it will explore its options. “Circumstances [for Budz n Bloom] have changed, which is understandable, but maybe there is another opportunity now for the property and that will be explored.” The town had owned the Resource Centre building and property since the mid ‘90s, but announced back in 2015 that it was no longer financially feasible to maintain its stake in the structure, due to increasing costs to bring it up to code. Let’s talk about the cemetery An open house has been scheduled for Thursday, June 28, that will focus on the future operation of the Riverside Cemetery. Over the last several years there has been considerable discussion and
debate regarding the cemetery, specifically the Perpetual Care (PC) program. Mayor de Groot stated that Council has committed to holding an open house in order to provide an opportunity for Neepawa residents to share their thoughts regarding the ongoing sustainability of the Cemetery. Information will also be shared with the Town regarding its perspective on the long-term options for sustainability. The Open House will be held at the Neepawa Public Library. Further details on the meeting will be made public in the near future. Support for Westlake Employment The Town of Neepawa is providing some financial support to Westlake Employment Skills and Services. Representatives with Westlake made a presentation to Town Council, on Tuesday, Apr. 17., asking for support for their Partnership funding program. The town will aid the not-forprofit service with a contribution of $5,242.02. In 2017, the operational budget for Westlake from Aug. 2017 to July 2018 was pegged at $68,765. In the past, the Province of Manitoba’s education and training program was their main source of funding, making up about 79 per cent of the total budget. As a nonprofit, Westlake does not have the ability to raise funds through other means other than through partnerships with local governments, as any amount raised otherwise would be held back by the province, as per the funding contract.

Repointing project provides a foundation for the future Continued from page 3 Two site visits with representatives from the provincial government focused on the need to repoint the brickwork on the building’s west side, including the stone foundation. This involves a mason scraping out the degraded mortar and replacing it, as well as any damaged bricks. The project was split into three, more manageable, phases. Phase 1 involved repairs to the building’s stone foundation; Phase 2 will involve repointing the west exterior wall; and Phase 3 will involve rebui ld ing t he shelter around the emergency exit, which must be removed to access the brick in Phase 2, as well as grading, to ensure that water f lows into the back alley, instead of back towards the building. Board chair Kate Jackman-Atkinson said that they chose to start with the basement because they were able to access a grant from Community
Places, but the work had to be completed over the winter. With support from the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation, the Neepawa Rotar y Club and the Manitoba government’s Community Places Program, Phase 1 was completed in early 2018, at cost of approximately $12,000. The board has now turned their sights towards Phases 2 and 3, which have budgets of approximately $30,000 and $10,000, respectively. With some carried over grant dollars, as well as a newly approved grant from the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation’s Youth Adv isor y Committee, they are almost halfway towards their goal for Phase 2. “We’re very thankful for the support of our donors, which has allowed us to move forward with this vital project. It’s rewarding to see how much the community values the theatre and the services we provide,” said

On May 28, members of the Neepawa Theatre Centre (NTC), Neepawa Rotary Club, Beautiful Plains Community Foundation and Province of Manitoba celebrated the completion of Phase One of the Roxy Theatre’s repointing project. Phase 1, which was completed earlier this year, involved repointing the stonework on the west side of the building’s foundation.

Rogers Masonry, Tile & Landscaping, was also on hand to talk about the project. Jackman-Atkinson said they were pleased to be able to work with a local mason.
The board is currently awaiting news on grant requests submitted earlier in the year for Phases 2 and 3 and will proceed as soon as funds become ava i lable. “ We wou ld
like to get this project completed as quickly and possible, and then we can return our focus to helping meet the community’s entertainment needs,” said Jackman-Atkinson. 18062AX0

New Chamber in Gladstone host first AGM By Penny Rodgers Submitted
It was a dark and stormy evening…literally…when the Gladstone & District Chamber of Commerce was saved from extinction. Brittany Pollard heard through the grapevine that Dec. 31, 2017 would be the end of the long running board. Growing up with parents who both served in elected positions on the Chamber, Pollard knew what a loss it would be to the town if it folded. So she bundled up and attended what was to be the last meeting, informing them that she would take over as president, if they would give her two weeks to make certain she could fill the other positions. She filled them in two days. Pollard, Melanie Wilson (Vice President), Tracey J a c k s o n ( Tr e a s u r e r ) and Stephanie Douglas (Secretary) have been busy ever since, familiarizing themselves with the duties of their new positions. And they are grateful to the outgoing board members - Nick Beav ing ton (President), Don Kinley (Vice President), Karey T h ie s s en ( Tr e a su r er) and Sharon Vercaigne (Secretary) - who have helped make the transition happen smoothly. On May 30, the new board held its first annual general meeting at the Gladstone Golf & Country Club. Pollard was “very i mpressed w it h t he turnout” and was hopeful that it got people engaged and excited about the Chamber’s future. T he g uest spea ker, Ver n May, E xecut ive Director, Portage Regional Economic Development, highlighted the importance of networking, community
development, the value of volunteering and regional partnerships in a wellreceived speech. A not her h igh l ight of the evening was the presentation of the Stride Credit Union sponsored Citizen of the Year Award by Branch Manger, Hali Nichols. It is presented to a person who has made a positive impact in the community and this year it went to Sian Pollard. Since moving to Gladstone from England in 1989, she has been an active member of the volunteer community including the Minor Hockey committee, Gladstone Arena board, 4-H Handiworkers and the United Church Sunday School program.
“
We will be more successful working together than we are trying to tackle it by ourselves. Brittany Pollard
”
Topics broached at the AGM included upcoming projects and events. At t h is yea r’s Glad stone Ag r icultura l Fair, the Chamber will be hosting a street dance on Friday, Aug. 10 and a children’s carnival on Saturday, Aug. 11. Also, for the summer, they are working to reopen the Happy Rock to visitors on weekend afternoons. The goal is to have community youth and seniors working side by side as hosts. As is often the case, a shortage of volunteers is a concern, but the Chamber committee hopes t hat
enough people will show an interest in helping out that each person would only be asked to do one weekend shift. Volunteers are a lso required to help out at the street dance and children’s carnival and Pollard noted that many people are reticent to volunteer in fear they will be asked to do too much, especially when they only have limited time to give. “If one thing sparks your interest,” she says, “then just come out and be a part of that. That’s totally fine.” The hope is that the Chamber w ill become more of a hub that links to other organizations to help unify the flow of information and bring together volunteers or help get projects up and running. “I truly believe that we will be more successful working together than we are trying to tackle it by ourselves.” And Pollard has one more goal. “You used to walk down the street in Gladstone and you’d know everybody and we seem to have lost that small town connection,” primarily because more people are living in town but working elsewhere. “You don’t get to know very many people anymore, so I think community events are the only way we are going to bring that back. We’d like people to look at the Chamber as a group who has come together to help our area flourish. To give us that welcoming, inviting smalltown feel again.

Tribute to Hutterite history
Submitted Neepawa Banner & Press
On Monday, June 4, Agassiz MLA Eileen Clarke made the following private members statement, regarding the 100th year of Hutterite Colonies in Manitoba. “Madame Speaker, it is with great pride that I have the opportunity today to recognize the 100th year of Hutterite Colonies of Manitoba. It was June 1918 that six colonies migrated from the Dakota Territory to Manitoba. James Valley, Maxwell, Huron, Milltown, Bon Homme and Rosedale were established and today there are 118 colonies throughout our province. Originating in Austria in the 16th Century, Jakob Hutter developed a communal form of living based on the New Testament books of Acts the Apostle, which was distinct from other Anabaptists. It was during the First World War that Manitoba became a home for Hutterites, who chose to abandon their American colonies in order to remain pacifists. Over the past 100 years Hutterites traditionally have owned and operated large amounts of land as well as hog, dairy, turkey, chicken and egg productions. In more recent years they have ventured into the manufacturing sector. Examples in Agassiz Constituency of their successes can be seen at Acadia Colony (Carberry) with Community Truss Ltd., and Baker Colony (MacGregor) with Better Air Manufacturing. Hutterites are well known and respected for their compassion and generosity to anyone in need. I would like to acknowledge the significant and supportive role Hutterite women have within their colonies with their exemplary gardening, baking and sewing skills. I always look forward to visiting my lifelong friends at Riverdale Colony for serenity, support and a cup of coffee. I’d like to recognize the late Selma Maendel (Fairholme) who was the first Hutterite to be inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame for her many contributions to agriculture in Manitoba. On behalf of this legislature, I want to congratulate all Hutterite Colonies in Manitoba for 100 years of being generous neighbors and good stewards of the land; you are an inspiration to all.” The followingHutterite colonies are located in the Agassiz Constituency: Riverdale, Riverside, Riverbend, Springhill, Grass River, Rolling Acres, Twilight, Emerald, Parkview, Pine Creek, Delta, Hidden Valley, Acadia, Westroc, Bloomfield, Baker, Cascade and Aspenheim.

2018 MJHL Draft held in Winnipeg Neepawa Natives select six players
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
Southwest Cougars forward Grady Lane was the top pick in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) Bantam Draft on Sunday, June 3. The 15-year-old Virden product was selected by the Winkler Flyers, who acquired the first pick from Waywayseecappo in a draft pick trade made the previous day. Lane accumulated 42 points (22 goals - 20 assists) for the Cougars last season. The second player taken in the draft was Sloan Stanick of the Yellowhead Chiefs, who was picked by the Dauphin Kings. As for the Neepawa Natives, they had the third pick in the first round and chose defensemen Kyle Melo of the Eastman Selects. Melo had 40 points (23G - 17A) for Eastman in 34 games.
The other players picked in the top five were Winnipeg’s Cole Assailly, by Swan Valley and Jared Chapel of St. Andrews, who was taken by Selkirk. Six Yellowhead Chiefs selected As for notable picks from the Yellowhead Chiefs, five additional players were selected along with Sloan Stanick. One of those picks included Sloan’s brother Slade, who was picked up by the Virden Oil Capitals with the 54th overall pick. Other Chiefs who heard their names called included Colby Wotton (7th overall), Brandt Young (12th overall) and Curtis Muir (65th overall), who were all chosen by Waywayseecappo.

Natives pleased with draft results By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
If unprepared, the time between picks during the Manitoba Junior Hockey League Bantam Draft can be extremely stressful for teams. Fortunately for the Neepawa Natives, that’s something they didn’t have to deal with, as they walked away from the event feeling optimistic about the future of the club. Director of player personnel/head scout Byron Billett and the other halfdozen members of the scouting staff spent countless hours in arenas across the prairies over the winter. Natives general manager Myles Cathcart said that all that time and effort culminated in those few hours at the draft table on Sunday, June 3. “The scouting staff led by Byron Billett performed an incredible job, ensuring we were all prepared for the draft day,” said Cathcart. “Their hard work throughout the season was impressive. A lot of games are covered

with detailed reports.” That attention to detail allowed the club to use their first selection on a high caliber threat from the blue-line, in the form of Kyle Melo of the Eastman Selects. The 15-year-old from Lorette, produced 40 points (23 goals - 17 assists) in just 34 games. Cathcart noted that Melo should make a solid addition to the defensive core in the future. “[Melo] is a high end skilled defenseman. He has great vision on the ice and we believe he has a strong future in the game of hockey.” stated Cathcart. Byron Billett agreed with Cathcart’s assessment, noting that Melo’s exceptional offensive skills are complimented quite well by his defensive prowess. Billett added Melo’s speed and sound decision making under pressure will enable him to make a quick transition to junior hockey. The second selection was a little closer to home, as Briley Wood of Rivers was picked up with the 14th pick. The forward put in an excellent season for the Yellowhead Chiefs,

producing 49 points (27G - 22A) in 36 games. Cathcart said that the upside for Wood is extremely positive. “[Wood] has a high skill set with a quick release. He has a scoring touch around the net and plays a good allaround game.” With their third pick, 25th overall, Neepawa picked Aiden Litke of Winnipeg. The forward played last year at Rink H.A. Nationals Bantam Prep. Billet was complimentary of Litke’s physical style of play and his willingness to battle for puck possession throughout the ice. He also stressed that Litke’s 200 foot game is an asset to any team in all three zones of the ice. The other players selected by Neepawa included Cameron Hibbert of Winnipeg (36th), Aiden Dufault of Narol, MB (47th) and Cody Gudnason of Killarney (60th). Cathcart said that the club is very much looking forward to seeing them, along with the other future prospects at the upcoming development camp in Brandon scheduled for July 9-10 at the Sportsplex.
Baseball’s best come to Plumas, and Neepawa
PCI win provincial high school title By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
This past weekend, Plumas and Neepawa served as hosts to the 2018 Provincial High School Baseball Championship. In total, 12 teams from across Manitoba earned a spot in the tournament, by winning their zone championships. For Zone Seven, our local zone, it was the William Morton Warriors of Gladstone, who earned the title and the right to challenge for the provincial crown. In their first game of the round robin on Thursday, May 31 in Plumas, as the Warriors faced the PCI Trojans, based out of Portage la Prairie. William Morton was able to come out on top, downing PCI by the score of 8-5. The second round robin matchup for the Warriors was set for Friday, June 1 versus the Dauphin Clippers. That game was also in Plumas and would see Dauphin pick up the win by a 16-5 margin. With that result, William Morton, PCI and Dauphin all closed out the round robin with an identical 1-1 record. With only two slots available in the playoff round, the teams who would be moving on had to be decided by run differential. For the William Morton Warriors, their minus eight combined run differential from their two games was the worst of the three clubs and eliminated them from further action on the diamond. As for the playoff portion of the weekend, it would come down to the final out for the PCI Trojans in the final against the Steinbach Sabres on Sunday, June 3. With two outs and two runners on base, PCI’s Joey Moffat hit a 2-2 double to give his team a 5-4 lead. The Trojans then closed out the bottom of the final inning with three quick outs, ensuring their second straight provincial championship.

You and your health
Timely advice for a healthier lifestyle
Is sitting too much killing you? By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor
“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.”
As I am sitting here writing this blog about how too much sitting is equal to the negative health effects of smoking and I can’t help thinking I should be pacing around with my laptop! It is scary when you read the facts of how sedentary adults, and especially children, are in today’s tech world. Our goal at the Neepawa Chiropractic and Massage Centre is to keep people active and I hope this blog motivates you to push away from that desk and get moving! How much do we sit? •We are now sitting more then ever (average of 9.3- 11 hours per day). •1/3 of Canadians sit more than nine hours per day. •On average, we sit longer in a day than we sleep (7.7 hours per day). •The average Canadian adult watches TV for 16.2 hours a week. •Kids on average are sitting at a screen three hours on a school day of the week. •Canadians on average only get 15 per cent of the recommended amount of daily exercise. From an evolution perspective, it took us two million years to stand and 200 years to go from three hours of sitting to 9-11 hours! We wake up, sit for breakfast, sit for our commute to work, settle into the desk for the day, sit on our commute home, then for supper, then after supper to watch the Winnipeg Jets play, then it is off to bed. As you can see, it isn’t hard to sit over nine hours in a day and lead a sedentary lifestyle. The side effects of sitting too much Listed below are just a few of the crazy negative health effects of living a sedentary lifestyle. The one that amazes me the most is that if you sit for more that eight hours a day, exercising for an hour will not reverse the negative effects

We have to keep active! •Sitting 6+ hours per day makes you 40 per cent more likely to die within 15 years compared to someone who sits less than three hours per day, even if you exercise! •There is physical changes in our DNA and it shrinks. •Nerve and blood f low to the legs dramatically decreases. •Sitting when driving affects organ structure and placement. •Brain activity decreases, depression rises, and productivity goes down. •After 24 hours of sitting the effect of insulin drops 24 per cent. •After two hours of sitting, your “good” cholesterol drops 20 per cent. •The enzymes that help break down fat drop 90 per cent after six hours of sitting. •People who sit for more
than eight hours a day have a 64 per cent higher rate of heart attacks, two to three times the rate of heart disease and diabetes. How do we fix the problem? The answer to lowering your risk of negative health outcomes due to too much sitting seems like a simple solution - just get moving. However this can be very difficult if your job requires you to sit at a computer all day. The solution is to find ways to get out from your desk every hour. The research varies on what the magic amount of time is per hour for you to get up and move from your desk, but the minimum should be at least five minutes per hour. Stand up desks are a great solution, but not the ultimate answer. Standing is also sedentary and it also comes with negative health effects if done too much. Definitely having the option of standing and sitting at your desk is the best. Here are some strategies you can try in

Last week on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, May 31, community members set their green thumbs to work. The various workers across town filled both large and small planters, previously barren after the winter months, with a variety of plants and flowers. Seen above: One of the selected plants is being given a new home in the flower large flower beds outside of Ryan’s Denture Clinic.
Letter to the editor: A price on life Continued from page 5 Isn’t it true that the University students who teach the swimming lessons in June were asking for more than minimum wage, and the Town of Neepawa decided that it would be more economical to disengage from their past years of offering lessons to these children rather than pay the lifeguards what they were asking? Basically, you are putting a price on life. The parents effected were never even offered a
DR. R. P. ASHCROFT OPTOMETRIST DR. K. VANDERHEYDEN OPTOMETRIST
chance to pay the extra cost, (whatever it may have been) to get our kids into these lessons. Your decision is deeply concerning and disturbing. Your actions are impacting more children than you realize. Now parents are taking their children to other towns for lessons and you can bet they will be spending their money in other towns as well. Your negative approach sends a strong
message to me and many others. I for one, will not be sending one cent to your pool until you can find a way to get these kids back on the track they have been on for so many years. Thank you for upsetting many parents, teachers and children and re arranging our summer plans. I do hope your “thriftyness” bites you in the rear end. Kim Lukin Riding Mountain

Obituary HELEN ZARIWNEY July 1, 1931 - May 21, 2018 It is with great sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, baba, great baba, sisterin-law and auntie. Mom passed away in her sleep on May 21, 2018. Mom was predeceased by her loving husband, Fred of 42 years (March 10, 1995), her son, Dennis Fredrick (January 6, 2012), her special friend, Steve Zwaritch, (March 4, 2015), her parents, Anthony and Jessie Wozney, brothers Nicholas, John and Joseph. She is survived by her daughter, Angeline (Peter), sons: Leslie (May), Darcy (Denise) and Emil, grandchildren: Kyle, Chelsea, Ryan (Cat), Natasha (Aaron) Axel, Amanda, William, great grandchildren: Mariella, Conrad, Demitri, Wyatt and Carter. She is also survived by her sister-inlaw Rose Wozney and many nieces and nephews. Helen was born to Jessie and Anthony Wozney on July 1, 1931 in Rackham, Manitoba where she went to school and worked on the farm. On October 31, 1953 (Trick or Treat) she married Fred Zariwney. Together they farmed in Erickson and later moved to Newdale in May, 1961 to a bigger farm where Mom was still residing until her passing. Mom was always busy on the farm, helping Dad, raising the family, gardening and looking after her animals. She loved to garden and to cook and bake for her family and friends. She was still gardening and selling eggs to her friends and customers and was always able to add the costs for the eggs (profits) quicker in her head than we could with a calculator! Mom was an active member of the St. Peter & Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Newdale where she served as president from 2003 until her passing. Later she attended services regularly at Holy Ascension Ukrainian Catholic Church in Minnedosa. She was always willing to help her neighbors, friends and family and would be there wherever she was needed. Prayers were held on Sunday, May 27, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. at the Holy Ascension Ukrainian Catholic Church, Minnedosa. Divine Liturgy (Funeral Mass) followed on Monday, May 28, 2018 at 10:30 am. with interment at the St. Peter & Paul Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, Newdale. Father Emil Kardasinec officiated. If friends so desire donations may be made to St. Peter & Paul Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, C/O PO Box 21, Newdale, Manitoba R0J 1J0 Vichnaya Pam’yat “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a while... their hearts forever.” Thank You, MOM!

For many, June is just another month out of a twelve month year. For others, it’s a time of celebration. June is a month long, special occasion called “Pride Month” for the LGBT+ community. For those who may not know, LGBT+ is a shortened acronym which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, and the plus stands in to include all other identities. But what is Pride Month all about? What makes it so important? Pride is a celebration of gender, sexual orientation, and romantic orientation diversity. It is an important occasion, born more so out of necessity than a want, and is still heavily important to this day. Despite all the celebration, it is also a time of remembrance, and a chance to bring about awareness on a large scale. The event’s historical roots lie deep within civil rights movements. It was born out of the LGBT+ community’s lack of basic rights, hate crimes, police harassment, and raids. This history is recorded (in Canada) as far back as the 1600s, when a gay military drummer was placed on trial and sentenced to death for having a First Nations man as a partner. The drummer was excused on the condition that he would accept a permanent position as executioner. In the late 1950s all through the 1960s, RCMP kept track of all patrons of gay bars in Ottawa and other cities, working with the FBI’s own surveillance teams to alert them when suspected homosexuals crossed the border to the United States. It was only in 1969 on May 14 that the Canadian government decriminalized homosexual acts (between consenting adults) with the passing of what is known as the “Criminal Law Amendment Act”, which received royal assent on June 27 of the same year. However, same-sex marriage wasn’t legalized until July 19, 2005 with the federal Civil Marriage Act. Although Canada as a country has come a long way, members of the LGBT+ community still face the threat of hate crimes, being disowned by their own family members, and other adversities. There is no Canada-wide inclusive education in our schools despite all these years, and in other countries LGBT+ people still face cruelties such as conversion therapy, concentration camps, and being sentenced to death simply for being different. This is why Pride is so important. Students in some communities, however, are stepping up. Under Manitoba’s Anti-bullying legislation, it is mandatory for all publicly funded high schools to accommodate Gay-Straight Alliances if students make a request to staff. In 2017, the Neepawa Area Collegiate formed a GSA for grades 9-12 after several students came forward. The club was promptly named “SAGA”, which stands for Sexuality and Gender Acceptance. SAGA aims to educate the student body and raise awareness about a variety of sexuality and gender-related issues, but ultimately is about providing students with a safe, non-judgmental space. Staff advisor Brittani Hammond is SAGA’s appointed advisor, and has taken the lead role in working with them. SAGA meets on a regular basis outside of the school day to plan a few events throughout the year, and says it is always looking for new members, regardless of their sexual or gender identity. The only requirement? An open mind.

Simple ways to cut mortgage costs
Metro Creative Connection
Monthly mortgage payments are the biggest single expense for many homeowners. So it’s understandable why plenty of homeowners would love to trim those costs. A host of factors determine how much homeowners pay for their mortgages each month. The cost of the home, the amount of the initial down payment and property taxes, which are often folded into monthly payments, will factor heavily into the cost of home ownership. While homeowners may feel as though there’s little wiggle room to cut the costs of their mortgages, there are several ways to do just that and potentially trim years from the life of a home loan.
•Make bi-weekly payments. Making bi-weekly instead of once-a-month pay ments can save homeowners substantial amounts of money. A year’s worth of once-amonth payments equates to 12 payments per year. But homeowners who pay on a bi-weekly basis will make 26 half payments, or 13 full payments, per year. That extra annual payment can be applied directly to the principal, dramat ica l ly reducing how much homeowners pay in interest over the life of their loans. • Stop pay i ng P M I . Homeowners whose initial down payments are less than 20 percent of the sale price will have to pay private mortgage insurance, or PMI. But once the balances on such mortgages falls below 80
percent, homeowners can cancel such insurance. Homeowners may also be able to stop paying PMI by having their homes reappraised. •Ref inance the loan. Refinancing a loan also can save homeowners substantial amounts of money each month. Homeowners are typically eligible for lower interest rates when refinancing their loans, meaning they will pay less in interest each month. However, refinancing is not free, so homeowners should first check the going home interest rates and examine their credit scores to see if the interest rate they’re likely to get upon refinancing will save them money. The cost of refinancing might be more than homeowners can save. •Request a tax reassess-
ment. Real estate values increase and decrease, and homeow ners who feel their homes have decreased in value can request that their homes be
reassessed. Homeowners whose homes are assessed at a value lower than the current value can expect to pay less each month in taxes.

Over 50 shooters came out on Sunday, June 3 for the Neepawa Wildlife Association’s ninth annual clay shoot. The event serves as a fundraiser for the club, though a portion of the proceeds are donated to other organizations. This year, the Strathclair #317 Air Cadet Squadron will receive some support, as several members volunteered as part of the days festivities. Additional pictures and details from the event will appear in the June 15 edition of the Neepawa Banner & Press.
