Natives head coach takes on additional role as club’s new GM
Effective immediately, Neepawa Natives head coach Dustin Howden will have a little extra work to do around the team’s office at the Yellowhead Centre. On Wednesday, July 18, the Junior “A” hockey club announced that Howden will take over the position of general manager. He will assume the dual responsibilities on a one year term, with it to be reviewed by the Natives’ board of directors at the end of the 2018-2019 MJHL season. Howden steps into the position previously held by Myles Cathcart, who stepped down as GM back in June. In an interview with the Banner & Press immediately after the formal announcement, Howden said he sees this as an intriguing new challenge. “It’s an opportunity, first and foremost. Discussions recently with the organization lead from one thing to another. We have been able to come to an agreement, so I’m very excited about this new chapter and the challenges that it’ll present,”

stated Howden. “It’s exciting to work with the staff [of the franchise]. We’re not looking to change things up too much, but just keep moving ahead on the path we’ve been going on. It’s been going pretty good the past few years. The work done by Myles Cathcart, as well as our scouting staff has the team pointed in the right direction. We’re just looking to expand on what we have been doing.” Neepawa Natives board president Ken Waddell said that the organization is optimistic about this arrangement moving ahead. “The board of directors has full confidence in Dustin Howden and his abilities to take the team in the direction that he’d like to go with it. It’s a bit of a new direction, but building on what we consider a fairly strong foundation, in many respects.” Waddell said. In his role as head coach, Howden has accumulated a 46-64-10 record over the span of two seasons with the club, with an overall improvement to the team’s win totals in each of those years.

Neepawa Town Council talks cannabis
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press
The conversation has begun once again about cannabis in Neepawa. On Tuesday, July 3, Town Council discussed some of the potential regulations, either new or revised, that may be required. The reason for the return to this topic is connected to a request that has been made to locate a retail outlet within the community. Mayor Adrian de Groot and the other members of the council deliberated on the issue for just over 20 minutes before deciding to ask the administration to move forward with additional research on the topic. In 2017, the federal government announced legislation to legalize recreational marijuana use by July 2018. Earlier this year, the date was pushed back to Oct. 17, to give municipalities more time to deal with potential regulation changes. In late December, the Town of Neepawa voted yes to examining the retail sale of cannabis within the community, though it was not unanimous. Councillor Bill Stilwell voted against the resolution and Murray Parrott abstained. The item still had enough yes votes to move
forward. Other communities such as Brandon and Portage la Prairie have already approved retail sales, while others, such as the Rural Municipality of Gimli have voted no to allowing the retail sale of pot in their community. Firehall update The construction schedule for Neepawa’s new fire hall has fallen behind. In the manager of operations report, it was indicated that the project is currently 30 days behind schedule, due to a problem caused by frost issues. The new timeline for completion is being pegged for late December or early January. Subdivision request Freezerco Ltd. has asked the council to approve the subdivision of a portion of property it owns just east of the Budz ’n Bloom Daycare facility. If approved, the request would allow for the expansion of the daycare into the area currently occupied by the former Corkscrew Wine Supplies building. As part of that plan, the Corkscrew building would be torn down. Council approved the subdivision request.

Helen joined her late husband, Allan, who had been helping to maintain the museum for many years. Both Allan and Helen visited many museums on their holiday travels, always ask ing questions and observing the many different layouts, artifacts, and displays. This knowledge was put to good use in the Beautiful Plains Museum. Helen took cour ses through the Manitoba Museu m A ssoc iat ion, as well as reading many articles on such diverse items as how to clean textiles and what to look for when maintaining them. Because of Helen’s interest in history, the various displays are a work of love. Each article

ast week I was irritated to once again be unable to make a phone call travelling between Minnedosa and Brandon. Then I heard about the “upgrades” to mobile service in the Alonsa area. It was reported that in the six weeks since two towers were upgraded, one in Amaranth and one at Ebb and Flow, area users found that they now have almost no service at all. Many rural Canadians are MY used to having inconsistent ser- PERSPECTIVE vice, the problem is that in this area, the service had been rela- Kate tively good and Jackman-Atkinson many residents had abandoned their landlines. The subsequent loss of cell service is creating both inconveniences and safety concerns. CBC Manitoba quoted a statement from BellMTS saying that their engineers were working on improving coverage. There’s no word on when Alonsa-area residents will be able to rely on their cell phones again. The loss of service comes with profound implications. Like most rural Manitobans, many residents in the area work alone, in sometimes inhospitable conditions. Fire departments need the service to gather a crew and respond to emergencies. A cell phone can literally save someone’s life. An urban Canadian can’t imagine having to stand in one specific place to be able to talk on the phone, but that’s a reality for many users. Forget the information super highway, many rural Manitobans can only hope for the information bush road. Speed Test, an organization that compiles real users’ data to gauge actually network speeds in various countries shows just how good some Canadians have it. Their most recent report on Canada was from April to September 2017 and ranked Canada’s downloads speeds as the 15th fastest in the world. Our upload speeds were the third fastest in North America and 46th in the world. The over 263,000 Canadians whose tests contributed to these results must all have been living in major Canadian cities. Their speed tests showed an average mobile download speed of 35.19 Mbps, while the average upload speed was 10.29 Mbps. These users also experienced improvements over the year before, with download speeds increasing by almost 39 per cent and upload speeds by almost 20 per cent. For comparison, sitting in my living room, my download speed is 1.8 Mbps while my upload speed is 799.8 Kbps. According to Speed Test, the three lowest ranked countries had download speeds of 6.14 Mbps (Afghanistan), 5.13 Mbps (Tajikistan) and 4.62 Mbps (Libya). When it comes to Canada, there are two types of mobile users, those with good service and those with poor service, yet we all pay the same rate. The high cost of providing the network speeds experienced by urban Canadians is borne by all users, even those of us with slow or non-existent service. In recognition of the importance of high speed internet, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) tracks mobile and fixed broadband internet access and affordability. For medium usage plans, the average Canadian price of $47.37 USD per month is almost double the OECD average of $25.70. No matter what criteria you use, Canadians pay among the highest rates in the world. In 2016, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) put broadband internet into the same category as land line telephones, announcing that it would be considered a basic service. The CRTC also announced speed and access targets for both fixed and mobile broadband services, the category into which today’s smartphones fall. Despite this, many rural Manitobans are finding their service no better and in many cases, worse. While there have been promises of network upgrades and investments, further consolidation in the industry will only result in higher prices. This is one competition Canadians don’t want to win.

n 1968, the Husky Oil Company decided to bui ld a tour ist attraction in downtown Calgary, Alta. They called it the Husky Tower and it was, at the time it was built, the tallest structure in the city. It cost a mere $3.5 million to build (which in 1968, was a lot of money). I got my first glimpse of the tower just after the centre column was built. When the observation deck and revolv ing restaurant were completed severa l mont hs later, drivers approaching the city could see the tower long before the city itself came into view. Over the years, the tower has gone through several renovations and upgrades; including a glass floor in the observation deck that allows you to look straight down to street level, 191 meters below (not recommended for those with a fear of heights).

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein worry in Calgary) and can withstand winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour. On a windy day it can (and will) sway up to 7.5 inches, enough for people at the top to feel it moving. There is, at least as far as the engineers who designed it are concerned, no danger that it will fall over. What makes the tower so stable? I asked that quest ion myself many years ago; and a long-time Calgary resident gave me this answer. “You have to look beneath the surface,” he said, “Underground— at the tower’s foundation.” Fortunately, pictures exist to help us do that. The part of the tower one sees rests on a foundation that is at least twice as wide as its top, and extends deep beneath street level. The amount of concrete in the base, I was told, weighs
more than the central column and the steel pod on top of it. Everything rests on pilings that reach even further beneath the sur face. The size and weight of its foundation is more than enough to keep the tower standing tall for years to come. In my lifetime, I have met many people who were just like the Calgary Tower. They faced challenges unlike anything I have ever known. Some have lost children in traffic accidents or acts of violence. Some have lost a partner to cancer and have been left to raise small children on their own. Some have watched helplessly as their home or business was destroyed by fire or severely damaged in a flood. Some have lived through many years of shock and trauma after seeing their homes
bombed into oblivion and their children killed while fighting in a war. What makes them so stable? What is the source of their peace, joy, hope and optimism? For that, we must look beneath the surface. We must examine the foundation upon which their lives are built. In my experience at least, those with the strongest sense of peace, joy, hope and optimism have had one thing in common—a deeply rooted and firmly grounded faith in Jesus Christ. Of him, the Bible says that he was tested in every way, just as we are, yet was without sin. From the moment of his conception to the moment of his death, Jesus experienced every test, trial and temptation that you and I will experience in life. Nothing that we experience will ever take him by surprise or catch him off guard. He will walk through everything with us, giving us hope and the help we need to survive and thrive, no matter what may come our way.
Just rambling…
he air felt different, alive and fresh. G one wa s t he heav y cur ta in t hat smothered every breath. In days I can recall, it would have been a refreshing rain that brought the change. Now a cold front moving in made my outlook brighter. I can take some heat, some humidity, but the combination of the two – oh my. The change snuck in Saturday night, and the wind called me out Sunday morning. We walked, the dogs and I. Really walked, brisk ly and joyfully, sniffing the a i r a nd check i ng our environment. Gone was the drudge and trudge of the necessary walk. It felt great. T he mag ic l ingered and so we headed out again. Down the TransCanada Trail, behind the cemetery and up the stairs. Again, we walked, really walked. The wind kept all insects at bay, the wind did not cross the lagoon

before reaching me! The saskatoons are dark and dried, the chokecherries s l ight ly t u r n i ng t hei r deep maroon, and wild berries announcing their presence. There was a bit of a gurgle from the river as it slipped over the stones, but it was in no great hurry. I paused to watch t he g reat Blue Heron take to the sky, leggy and awkward until airborne. Voices f iltered through the foliage, golfers at their game. For just a second it felt like the scene was a harbinger of fall, but I discarded that image as quickly as it came. (The thought probably came into existence last night as I watched the sun set
too early and then again when the sun was not yet fully up when the dogs first needed to go out.) It was with joy, and a l ight ste p, t h at we three climbed the stairs, thankful for the town’s speedy repair after the last deluge. Clearing the top I recalled that I had not brought water for any of us, and all three of us were panting. And then I checked my step counter. Should not have. The original intent had been to complete the lower as well. The buzz of my phone informed me that the granddaughters were stopping by with left over roll kuchen, and the last of my resolve melted. We
headed for home. After a snack, a sit, and an attempt at resting, we were called back outdoors. Just putzing. Breathing deeply, feeling the sun and the wind. Enjoying the day, not dodging the heat and humidity. For too long I have scurried from air-conditioned home to air-conditioned car to airconditioned destination. I know- one theory is to embrace the heat and go with it- I can do that with the cold…So this day, this wondrous day, I played outside. In and out, no defined purpose. A little weeding, and little watering, and a lot of wandering. Vacuumed the garage f loor, but not the car which really needs it, hanging a load of laundry to dry in the wind. My opt i mu m temperat u re is between 20 and 25 degrees. Preferably on the plus side. Achieved, and if it is but for one day, I give grateful thanks.

Observation
By Addy Oberlin hen I started to type this article I noticed that my spacing was not the way I wanted it to be. After I corrected it I was ready to go. I think everyone needs space in their life at one time or another. Someone might like to go to an isolated place with a fishing rod and enjoys the quietness of nature around. Others might draw back in an easy chair with their favorite book. When your family is growing you enjoy every moment that you can have for yourself. However some empty nesters feel lonely and out of place when they do not have their family close by. When I checked the word “space” in the Bible it always reflects on a certain space of time. Jesus told his disciples also to “come ye yourselves apart in a desert place and rest awhile” (Mark 6:31). Jesus also needed time to rest after a busy day speaking to crowds of people (Matthew 14:23). This week may we find some time to rest awhile and be refreshed.

Is anyone asking the right questions about perpetual care? I may no longer have a dog in the fight, but seeing the direction the Perpetual Care issue is taking compels me to write. First and foremost; The Perpetual Care Trust Fund isn’t supposed to cover the full cost of cemetery operations! Never was, never should be. Cemeteries require meticulous upkeep regardless of whether a perpetual care program is in place. The people of Neepawa (and area) need to fight this idea that all costs should be covered by the trust fund and cemetery plot sales. The Perpetual Care Trust Fund is not intended to be used for capital expenditures either. It’s in place in to support the continued care of the grave sites of those who paid the fee to receive the service. None of the Trust Fund is for the care and maintenance of any grave that didn’t pay the fee! For most who paid the fee, they were of the understanding they would have flowers planted and maintained on the graves. Neepawa has a beautiful cemetery, no doubt about it... but is anyone asking questions as to how it is being run? Has anyone asked why cemetery operations are separate from Public Works? Do townsfolk realize how much overlap in personnel and equipment there is? Will anyone ask why (for so many years) there was a full time cemetery staffer? Perhaps justified in summer months when tasks are significant. But in winter? Does the cemetery need its own operations equipment when it’s the same type of equipment and operation as Public Works already has? Can town staff not find efficiencies by combining operations? Years ago I proposed a way to bolster the trust fund. I suggested the Town have a summer student go through the list of grave site names and endeavour to reach out to living individuals with similar surnames. • Photograph each grave marker to use as a reminder to potential relatives that their loved ones need a little help. • Make up a one page letter with the picture and a note explaining the situation. • Use digital and physical outreach. • A reminder of what each originally paid and what today’s costs amount to might help open some wallets.

After effects
How will Valley residents respond to Cooper’s defeat? The morning following “The Great Valley Runoff” wa s perhaps t he oddest moment of my growing-up years. It was as if we were surrounded by fog as we began that late August Friday. The Hoff brau was filled to capacity, with folks lined up at the door waiting to snag one of the coveted tables. The smell of bacon, eggs and coffee filled the air as voices reached almost deafening proportions. You could tell who was seated at each table by the conversation. Cooper supporters seemed stunned. Many wondered if the previous evening had been a bad dream. Bland supporters were boisterous, laughing and acting as if their mayor had the election “in the bag” all along. At 7:34 a.m., “Silver Tongue” Dick Bland entered the ‘Brau, shaking hands with well-wishers and beaming from ear to ear. It was obvious many, myself included, felt relief the election was behind us. Even though I wasn’t old enough to vote, I had been pulled into the dra-ma of the election just like everyone else in the Valley. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted and our town could return to normal, as if there is such a thing. As the morning passed, the conversation shifted from the election results to other matters. Word was beginning to spread that Vera Pinrod’s quick exit from the ballot count was a result of pneumonia. There was much concern when Mrs. Pinrod left her left her election coordinator’s post in an ambulance on Thursday night. The good folks of
the fair. Throughout the day, cassette and CD players were humming the tune: Turn Your Radio On And listen to the music in the air. Turn Your Radio On, heaven’s glory share. the Valley were thankful she hadn’t suffered a heart attack or stroke, but knew pneumonia is dangerous, especially for someone of advancing years. Farmers seemed to be taking a rare morning off to enjoy a late breakfast and a break from the stress of the previous months. A few had attended wrestling matches at the Spring County Fair on Thursday evening. I overheard Boyd Sanders telling his companions he was certain he had heard a snap as Joe LeDuc tightened his “spinning toe hold” on the Sheik. It was good to see my community discuss something besides the election. I took a breath and thought about Mary Ann. She was so happy when she received the blue ribbon just two days earlier at the Spring County Fair animal competition. She and I had exercised our sheep together for months as we prepared for the annual event. My entry, Archibald, didn’t place, but it was just as well. My reward was seeing Mary Ann elated as she hugged Snowflake, then rushed over to hug me. By lunch, the town was buzzing about other matters. Undoubtedly, t he most i mpor t a nt w a s a n appearance by Tangi Blevins & the Heavenly Hosts later that evening at
Back at the radio station, things weren’t quite as lively. Raymond had cancelled his show on Friday afternoon, instead airing syndicated network programming. Elbert Lee Jones, Marvin Walsh, Earl Goodman and Raymond sat around the station conference table in stunned silence for hours, interrupted now and then by an outburst by Marvin or Earl. “I just don’t believe it,” Marvin lamented. Earl chimed in, “It can’t be real. It all started when Vera left and that newspaper woman was put in charge.” “You have to demand a recount!” Walsh shouted toward Raymond. Cooper didn’t respond. At 4:30, he stood up and left the building. His followers sat in silence for a few minutes. At the Hoff brau, Iris Long sat with Juliet Stoughton. “What’s next for you?” Iris asked. “You know,” Juliet responded, “I think I’ll go to the fair. I hear there’s a popular singer there tonight.” The Good Folks of Lennox Valley is a feature that runs weekly in the Neepawa Banner & Press. Visit lennoxvalley.com to learn more about the good folks.

Favorite Smarties cookies
Do you have grandchildren coming for the summer? Get them to help you make these cookies. Getting the kids to help may double your baking and cleaning time, but it’s about the quality time together. The interaction between a grandparent and grandchildren is really special, and kitchen time makes it more so. This recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar however I just use 1 and they turn out just fine. Smarties cookie batter 1/2 cup butter 2 tsp. baking soda 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 3 eggs 1 cup chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups peanut butter 1 cup smarties 4 1/2 cups quick cooking oats In a large mixing bowl beat butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs, then peanut butter. To the oatmeal add the baking soda and salt. Then mix into the creamed ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips and smarties. Lightly grease or line pans with parchment paper. Form into 2 inch balls and slightly flatten. These make a large cookie. If you want smaller cookies make a 1 inch ball. Bake at 325° for 15-18 minutes for the 2 inch ball or 12-14 for the 1 inch ball. When I make these with my grandkids we do not add the smarties to the dough. The kids like to add them to the tops after we slightly flatten.

1978 : 100-year-old farm still in Paynter family By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press
80 years ago, Tuesday, July 19, 1938 Motors operating at 30,000 revolutions per minute and cutting wood with paper discs high speed turbines spouting jets of steam with a velocity of 23,850 miles an hour, model airplanes battling against man-made gales in excess of 80 miles an hour, and precision instruments capable of measuring within a millionth of an inch, were among the scientific marvels on display April 30 at the annual open house off the University of Michigan. Among the exhibits were the Otto-Langdon internal combustion engine of 1870 a one-cylinder, four cycle affair, fired not by a sparkplug, but by a flame from a pilot light. Despite its crudity, the apparatus is said to have been the forerunner of the modern automobile. 70 years ago, Thursday, July 22, 1948 A monster community picnic sponsored by the Neepawa Board of Trade, t he Canad ian L eg ion and Lions Club is to be held at Riverbend Park on Wednesday, July 28, starting at 1:00 p.m., sharp. 60 years ago, Tuesday, July 22, 1958 Grant MacEwan, who made the suggestion during his visit here Anniversary Week that the Pioneer Mu s eu m b e m a de a permanent af fair, has repeated the advice in a letter to Mayor Whitmore. “All the best to you and may I take the liberty of hoping again that a permanent museum will prove to be one of the fruits of that good week”. 50 years ago, Friday, July 19, 1968 Miss Marian Adams, for merly of Neepawa, returned recently from the Canadian National Railway at Winnipeg. Miss Adams left Neepawa in 1927 and started with CNR at Saskatoon in April, 1929. She was honored on her retirement recently by business associates at the Westminster Motor Hotel, when she was presented with a wallet and gift of money.
40 years ago, Thursday, July 20, 1978 One hundred years ago, a 21 year-old called Henry Reynolds Paynter registered a land claim in the Portage la Prairie land claims office, and then hiked the 45 or so miles by foot west of Ogilvie, south of Plumas, where he settled down to business of building a homestead. This past Sunday, July 16, six of Harry Paynter’s seven surviving children, along with their many friends and neighbors celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Paynter farm. In honor of t he a n n i v e r s a r y, A n n i e (Paynter) Graham read a poem in tribute to her pioneering parent and the family farm. Mrs. Margaret Cook, a friend and former Ogilvie school teacher, saluted the Paynter family and read a brief history of the farm. She described how Harry Paynter came west from his birthplace of Owen Sound in 1878 with his brother Tom and a group of immigrants, led by his father, an immigration agent. The group travelled by foot up the lakes and the Red River to Fort Gary, now Winnipeg, and then by oxen from Winnipeg to Palestine, now Gladstone. The two brothers then trekked by foot back to Portage la Prairie, the nearest land titles office, where Henry f iled his claim, picked up supplies, and went back to Ogilvie to homestead. On December 27, 1893, he married Christina Reid Wilson of Beulah, Man., and they had a family of six daughters and two sons: Charles Stewart; Winnifred Marion; Elizabeth Wilson (Mrs. Dave Abel of Melfort, Sask.); Isabel Christina (Mrs. Charles Moscrip of Gladstone); Helen Victoria “Nellie”; Henry Reynolds Jr.; Annie Scott (Mrs. B. Graham of Gladstone); and Janet “Nettie” (Mrs. Fred Schmall of Plumas). Fr iend s to d ay st i l l describe the pioneering couple with warm words of praise. Mrs. Paynter, along with raising her family often assisted neighbors in times of sickness, acting as a midwife when doctors and nurses were scarce, organizing and leading in church and always ready to lend a helping hand. Mrs. Paynter passed away in 1942 at the age of 76. In 1948, Mr. Paynter transferred the
ownership of his land to his son Charles and daughters Winnie and Nellie. Harry Paynter, wellknown for his keen wit and interest in everything “from a good game of cards to a political discussion”, died at his farm home in 1954 at the age of 96. The farm, in its 100th year, is still in the hands of the second generation. Nellie, Winnie, and Charlie continue to reside in the graceful white farmhouse, keeping the farm in the Paynter family name. Although there are no direct descendants bearing the Paynter name, there are 35 great grandchildren, to carry on the Paynter heritage. 30 years ago, Tuesday, July 19, 1988 A not her we e k a nd another addition to the interesting things to see at McCreary, July 3031, 1988.

Police searching rural Killarney area for evidence connected to 2017 Neepawa homicide By Kim Langen Killarney GUide The murder of a Neepawa man back in 2017 has brought a police search team south in order to scour a local area for related evidence. Over the past couple of weeks RCMP investigators have been conducting inquiries and sweeping the quiet roadside ditches south of Killarney for this unspecified evidence. On Thursday, July 12, two teams of the searchers – along with a large black search and rescue van – were busy working in two areas south of town: around eight miles west of Hwy. 18 on the Blixhavn Road, (Mile 1 North); and also up on the Wakopa Road (106 West), just north of the Mayfair Hutterite Colony. Constable Woytkiw of Brandon Major Crimes was in charge of the Wakopa Road group of eight searchers on that sunny, windy day. “This is our fourth day out here,” he said. “We are searching for evidence related to a 2017 event in Neepawa. We know this community has lots of questions, and you can let them know we are not looking for a missing person or for a body – just evidence. We will be in the area for a while yet; I can’t say how long.” Few details are being made available to the public or the press at this time, as the investigation continues, said RCMP media relations officer in Winnipeg, Tara Seel. “Officers are in the area south of Killarney, conducting a search in relation to a homicide in the Neepawa area in 2017,” she said.
The RCMP are assuring the community that there is no risk of danger to them, despite the recent and unusual police presence in the quiet farmland district, and the flurry of black cars and vans moving in and around the area just one mile north of the U.S. border. “As this is an active and ongoing homicide investigation, I cannot provide too many details,” said Seel. “I can tell you that there is no concern for public safety. This is a search only. This is not in relation to any other events.” Police have never formally released the name of the murdered Neepawa man, reportedly in his 60s, whose deceased body was found at a residence near Highway 5 North in the early hours of November 25, 2017. “We don’t typically identify victims,” said Seel. Neighbours were awakened at around 3 a.m. to the sound of police officers knocking loudly on their doors, according to newspaper reports at the time. But how this past crime now relates to people or places in the Killarney area is still unclear. Police were not able to provide any details on what exactly they are seeking out there in the deep grass and weeds, or who in particular they are investigating, said the press office. “They are looking for evidence related to the homicide - that’s as much as I can say in regards to this ongoing investigation,” said Seel. “There is nothing people can do to assist police at this time.” Article and picture reprinted with permission of Kim Langen and the Killarney Guide

Neepawa Banner & Press
When the candidates for the 2018 Council Elections submit their registration, they’ll be greeted by a new face at the starting gate. Although Bill Syrik is considered a relatively new resident of Neepawa, he is no stranger around town and excited to be a part of the thriving community. “I wanted to waste very little time in getting myself registered for the elections, because I wanted to make the most of the time between now and election day to reach out to people and
hear their concerns, and let them know that there’s a new name to watch for on the ballots” A wealth of experiences Born in Winnipeg, Syrik has lived in various cities and towns in Western Canada including Calgary, Vancouver, the Okanagan, and the Narrows. After running his own bookkeeping business in Plano, Texas for several years, he decided to return to Canada in Aug. 2017 to be closer to his son, daughter and granddaughter in Winnipeg. Currently,

an individual he’s an avid sports fan and music lover.
Shifting attention to government Syrik’s never held a government seat before, but his experience in getting involved in various organizations makes him confident he can become a vital addition to council. In Manitoba alone, Syrik has been involved in several organizations including Kelvin Community Center, where he served as sports director, boxing coach, youth dance committee, vice president and president. He also served as the promotions director for the Manitoba Amateur Boxing Association and assisted
with the formation of the 3-on-3 Basketball League in Winnipeg. Locally, he has been volunteering with the Neepawa Natives, working on filling roles at games, and serving on the board of directors as interim finance director. “What drives me is being able to make a positive impact in the community. I will bring that same passion in council should I be elected.” Although Syrik is the first candidate to register for the upcoming election on Oct. 24, he expects the ballot to be filled with plenty of names to choose from.

The Manitoba Threshermen’s Reunion & Stampede is returning to Austin for its 64th year July 26 to 29. The annual event, put on by the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, is a celebration of the province’s agricultural roots, history and pioneering spirit, as well as community and family. In 2014, the event featured items such as a Sherman Tank, and an armoured John Deere Model A tractor that was experimented with by the USA after entry into World War II, as well as follow up designs proposed by John Deere. In 2016 the reunion was home to a world record, as 750 volunteers on 139 antique threshing machines harvested a field simultaneously for 15 minutes and witnessed by nearly 8,000 people. The previous record had been 111 machines, and was held by a group from St. Albert, Ontario. Last year’s event theme was “John Deere” in celebration of 180 years of John Deere, and was presented by the Enns Brothers. Multiple John Deere collectors also brought pieces from their own collections. This year’s event is set to feature Canada’s largest
collection of vintage farm equipment (featuring International Harvester), demonstrations of functioning steam and gas-powered machines, kids activities, live music throughout the day, the Manitoba Clydesdale Classic Show, daily Pioneer Power Parade, a nightly rodeo, and more. It’s expected to be another popular event, with International Harvester providing the theme for this year, and people are getting pretty excited. “This is the first time in 20 years that we are hosting International Harvester,” Executive Director Anais Biernat stated. “Many people are pretty excited about seeing them here.”

Neepawa Banner & Press
A quick start by the Portage Padres lifted the team to a 9-3 victory over the Neepawa Cubs on Monday, July 16, in Santa Clara Baseball League playoff action. Portage scored four runs over the course of the first two innings to secure control early. From there, Padres starting pitcher Joey Moffat put in a strong five-inning effort on the mound, ensuring Portage began the second round of the SCBL playoffs with a win. The next game in this best-of-three semi-final was played on Wednesday, July 18 in Neepawa. The final score from that contest was unavailable before the Banner & Press publication deadline. Those results will appear in the July 27 edition. Mavs vs. Royals The other semi-final in the Santa Clara Baseball League sees the Minnedosa Mavericks facing the Carberry Royals. Carberry got to this point in the playoffs by defeating the Ebb and Flow Lakers in two games in the first round. Minnedosa, meanwhile, swept the Plumas Pirates to reach the semi-final. Game one of this best-of-three was played on July 18, after the publication deadline. Game two is scheduled for July 24 in Minnedosa and game three, if necessary, would be on July 25 in Carberry.

Top prospects play it cool at Natives summer evaluation camp
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
Consider ing the recent heat wave that has blanketed most of western Manitoba, Brandon’s Community Sportsplex wasn’t a bad place to be on July 9-10. A chance to see the future of the Neepawa Natives hockey team up close was pretty good incentive to be there as well. The management and staff for the Natives organization recently hosted just under 60 players at t hei r a n nua l su m mer evaluation camp. That group included a mix of veterans, draft picks and listed players from across Canada and the United States. Neepawa head coach Dustin Howden said there was an impressive array of talent out on the ice. “This camp was geared towards the names on our prospects list. There were some outside prospects involved, but was specific players we had an interest in and who we believe have something to offer. It was a very positive two days,” Howden said. “We were able to see some improvement from several of the players since the last time we saw them hit the ice, either from the spring prospects camp or the regular season.” Neepawa Natives director of player personnel

Young prospects were looking to impress the coaches and scouts for the Neepawa Natives, during the summer evaluation camp in Brandon on July 9-10.
Byron Billett noted that he was pleased with level of skill showcased over the course of the two days. “I was very happy with the skill of the players at the camp. We had some good A mer ica n players come up as well as prospects throughout the province. We were able to meet the recently drafted players face to face who had a g reat show ing. There are many junior caliber young players on our protected player list,” said Billett. Heading into the summer evaluation camp, it was feared by some that organization’s recent decision to implement a new travel fee would cast a long shadow over the proceedings. The fee will
see players paying $267 per month over the course of the season to help cover travel costs. Howden said there was not alot of pushback during the camp. “There was a little talk about it, it’s kind of old news now. The players know about and if anyone had questions, we were very accessable and [the players or their families] were invited to come and ask questions about it. We, as an organization want to be as open about this as we can. It is what it is and, it is geared towards APPROVAL REQUIRED

You and your health
advice for a healthier lifestyle Time Restricted Eating - What, Why, and How part 2
Benefits of Being Active
By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor
“Being able to move is the number one indicator for successful aging.”
Last week I discussed what time restricted eating is and all the benefits of implementing it into your lifestyle. This article describes how to implement a simple time restricted eating plan. How do you Include Intermittent Fasting in your Lifestyle? Keep it simple First thing you need to remember is that TRE is not a diet and you don’t need to restrict calories. You do not need to change what you are eating but when you eat. It might be a good time to look at what is in your fridge and freezer and start eating healthier but try restricting when you eat first. Start with a 12:12 plan. The eating window is for 12 hours and the fasting time is for 12 hours. This is easy to achieve if you simply don’t eat after supper. This is the simplest plan as it more easily fits into our social and family lives. You need to remember that the eating stage starts with anything ingested other than water. Even coffee kicks in the liver to metabolize caffeine. When making this change people

who never eat breakfast will quickly notice they become a breakfast eater once again. Cutting out all those high carbohydrate calories at night will get you eating your bacon and eggs once again. The body will process food in the fasting state and there will be a call for calories in the morning. You don’t need to be perfect every day to achieve the health benefits of TRE. Studies have shown that even 10 hour fasting has a positive effect on the body. Having a weekend of a few days of cheating with that drink or snacks around the camp fire will not send your body into chaos. The main thing is to make sure you don’t lose your habit of not eating after supper!
Listen to your body When changing any habit or feeding schedule your body will feel different. Initially you will feel hunger pangs, possible headaches, and mood changes. As you reset your body so that your gut clock matches your brain clock, expect some kick back. When these sync you will notice a great difference. Try drinking water in the fasting stage after supper. Staying hydrated will help fill you up and make you resist eating. After the initial changes/ stage you will notice that you are not hungry at nights. The amazing part of the fasting state is that your body will start burning fat as a fuel source and this actually decreases hunger.
Who Should Avoid Time Restricted Eating? Diabetics should be cautious about starting time restricted eating, especially if they have very unstable sugars. You should be teaming up with a good dietitian or health care professional and discuss the risks and benefits of this type of eating. Time restricted eating isn’t a green light to eat whatever you want and how much you want. People who binge eat or have an eating disorder need to be cautious of TRE. Some people hyper-focus on their eating and can go too far when getting into fasting. Again the use of a health care professional is advised.
487 Mountain Avenue • Neepawa, MB Call 204-476-3984 • neepawachiropractic.com
Hunger can increase stress and anxiety. If a person prolongs the fasting stage of TRE there is a risk of provoking these problems. The majority of people do not have a negative effect to their mental health when sticking to the 12:12 plan but should be aware of how their body and brain feels when fasting. Extreme fasting can have negative health benefits in these cases. Time restricted eating is a simple lifestyle change with huge benefits. By matching your gut clock with your natural circadian rhythm,
your body works better in managing insulin and fat metabolism. By simply having a 12 hour window when you do not consume calories, you: improve your sleep, lose weight, reduce your risk of cancers and live longer. Initial changes will be a challenge but it will be worth it! Activity fact: the average American consumes 19.5 teaspoons (82 grams) every day. That translates into about 66 pounds of added sugar consumed each year, per person.

There he worked for 15 years, before returning to McCreary, where he started a small engine repair business. He enjoyed the challenges of repairing small engines and spent many hours tracking down parts and deals on the internet. He loved his little blue house in McCreary and it was always home to him. We would like to thank neighbours and friends for the support they have given over the years. Funeral Service for Scott will be held on Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 1:00 pm from Knox United Church in McCreary Flowers are gratefully declined.

Besides her loving husband Grant, Mandy is survived by her children Saige, Cash and Nolan. Mandy held many different titles in her life, from being a wonderful daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt, niece, cousin, or friend. But most of all she was a loving wife to her husband Grant and a wonderful caring mother to her three beautiful children that she loved with all her heart. She loved spending time taking them to different places, going on trips with them or just doing activities at home. She loved to travel, read or just hang out with her family playing games. She also loved being a teacher. She showed such passion in her lesson planning and cared and respected each one of her students. She cared deeply about the staff she worked with and always said they were like a second family to her. She was a very kind caring person who touched the hearts of many people that met her. We will miss her deeply but will keep her in our hearts and memories forever until we meet again. We miss and love you Mandy and think of you every day. A celebration of life will be held at the Carman Community Hall, 60 First Street NW, Carman, Manitoba on July 27th 2018 at 11:00 A.M. A private burial has already taken place in Neepawa, Manitoba.

PAUL J FREIER The family announces the passing of Paul on June 1, 2018 at the Altona Health Centre. Paul was born August 21, 1947 in Winnipeg, and had resided in Glenella, Neepawa and Altona, MB. He farmed in Neepawa with his family until he achieved his 2nd Class Power Engineer certificate in 1992. He was employed by Canamera Foods (now Bunge) in 1996 and retired in 2015. Paul was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis in April, 2017 and lived the last year of his life as best he could. Making trips to his farm in Neepawa gave him great comfort as did visiting with old friends over coffee at the Chicken Delight, both of which he thankfully had the chance to do in the week before he passed. He also had a chance to have a small visit with his sister Barbara. He leaves to mourn his wife Eva, step-son Kelsey, daughter Stefanie and husband Stuart Busilla, daughter Amy, granddaughters Natasha and Nadia and sister Barbara. Paul was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Tina Freier and by his brother Arnold. Funeral services were held in Winkler Trinity Lutheran Church on June 7th, and at Christ Lutheran in Neepawa on June 9th. Ash Internment occurred at Riverside Cemetary. The family expresses their gratitude to everyone who supported them through this difficult time before and after Paul’s passing.
Mervin Robertson On July 10, 2018, with his family by his side, Mervin passed away at the age of 87 years, at Health Sciences Center in Winnipeg, after a brief illness. The youngest child of Ethel and Alexander Robertson, Mervin was born September 5, 1930 in Neepawa, MB. He grew up on the family farm in the RM of Langford and received his education at the Gordon School before furthering his education at Brandon Agricultural School. Mervin then returned to the family farm where he loved the way of life. Over the years he had seen many changes, from the horse and threshing machine to the GPS combine. All the modern changes never deterred him from staying involved with the farm until his passing. Mervin and Doreen were married at the Neepawa United Church on July 30, 1955. Mervin is survived by his wife of 63 years, Doreen, son Kelvin (Yvonne) and daughter Colleen (Gary) and grandchildren Paul (Dalyse), Mark (Karla), Brock, Alexis and Austin and great grandchildren Madisyn, Hadley, Kinsley and Cole. Mervin was predeceased by his parents Alex and Ethel, brother Gordon and sisters Marion (Wes) and Olive (Don). For a time Mervin was a member of the Dragoons in Minnedosa and the Manitoba Pool Elevator Board. Throughout his life he was a member of the Neepawa Elks Lodge and Royal Canadian Legion. Sports were a big part of Mervin’s life. Curling was his passion. He curled in the 2 sheet rink at Cordova until it closed. He then joined the Neepawa Curling Club where he remained an active member until the age of 85. Mervin was fortunate enough to be on teams which represented Manitoba at the National Elks Corby Cup four times. Mervin spent many hours and travelled many miles to watch his son curl. He enjoyed the comradery of the game and the people associated with it. When farming no longer took all his summer time, he found a new enjoyment in the game of golf and became a member of the Neepawa Golf & Country Club. Family was very important to Mervin. He was the happiest when everyone was around. Messages of condolence may be placed online at www.whitesfh.ca White’s Funeral Home, Neepawa, MB in care of arrangements. 1-204-476-2848

Continued from page 5 Look, this doesn’t require perfection. If a reach-out falls on an unrelated person of similar surname so what. Maybe they’d have it in their hearts to help anyway. Good grief, Go Fund Me raises money for all kinds of things these days. This may be a daunting task but surely an effort could be made, perhaps volunteers could be empowered. The direction Council has proposed is ill conceived and lacking in true effort to resolve a perceived problem. I say perceived because at the outset Council could realize a cemetery costs a community money, period. Before the community accepts any of their proposals I hope someone raises more pertinent questions. The true cost of perpetual care should be narrowly limited to the specific service that was paid for and must be provided. The rest of the cemetery’s maintenance is a community obligation.

R eal Estate Basement remodeling tips

Banner & Press
Metro Creative Connection Submitted
A basement remodeling project can add valuable and usable space to a home. For many years, homeowners overlooked the potential of a basement remodel, perhaps thinking it would not be a smart return on investment. But that’s no longer the case. The latest “Cost vs. Value” report from Remodeling magazine says the average basement remodel can cost around $61,000 with a 70.3 percent recoup rate. In addition, HGTV says architects and contractors indicate the cost of redoing a basement is roughly one-third to one-half less than the price of putting an addition on a home. Before remodeling a basement, homeowners should think about how they want to use the space. Homeowners also must focus on some potential obstacles in a basement that will need to be addressed so that the area can be as functional as possible. Basements can be chilly and damp. That means moisture issues and heating and cooling needs must be addressed prior to any construction. Homeowners may have to consider the installation of a dehumidifier and run venting through the basement to allow for proper climate control. If a basement takes on water, either through the walls or a concrete slab, a professional waterproofing company can come in and fix these issues so they will not damage drywall and flooring afterwards. The presence of insects and pests also must be
addressed. Exterminators can help homeowners figure built-ins and architectural details from elsewhere in the out which insects are in their basements and how to make home so the basement is aesthetically cohesive and doesn’t the space less hospitable to these unwelcome guests so that seem like an addition.

Decorate the basement Space is often at a premium in basements, which may with bright, neutral colors so they make the space feel contain HVAC units, water heaters, filtration devices, more inviting. ductwork, pipes, and the other appliances. Qualified With some effort and financial investment, basements contractors can suggest solutions for cordoning off can be as beautiful and functional as other rooms in a appliances and camouflaging pipes and wires so they home. won’t detract from the finished product. However, building access panels into the design will make it easier to service or repair features as necessary. Homeowners also may want to wrap pipes before drywall is installed to quiet noisy drainage pipes. Uneven basement flooring will need to be smoothed out and flattened before carpeting or tile can be laid down. A self-leveling underlayment can be applied to fill in gullies, while larger crack and holes will need to be patched. Once the structure of the basement is addressed, then the design work can begin. Many professionals advise against drop ceilings, which can take away from ceiling height and look cheap. Basements can be dark, so the addition of plenty of Your Home... Your Future...

The 2018 Neepawa & District Chamber Fair held in May was a huge success. In a Chamber Fair editorial it was stated, “ It is with thanks to our local sponsors as well as the facility space provided by the Beautiful Plains Ag Society, whose volunteers have been instrumental in assisting with moving tables, small animal display corral space and
providing building space for our Saturday evening entertainment. The Neepawa Fire Department volunteers ran a Saturday morning pancake breakfast and served 133 guests in the Neepawa Rifle Club facility. As a way of giving back to the community, the Neepawa & District Chamber of Commerce donated funds to these organizations for their time and use of their facilities.

Drag races return to Neepawa
The runway at the Neepawa Municipal Airport will rumble to life on Saturday, July 28, for the Yellowhead Roadrunners’ 18th annual Drag Races. Yellowhead Roadrunners Auto Club president Bert de Koning told the Banner & Press the club members have been very busy as of late finalizing some important details for the day. “We recently had a big meeting to go over the last minute details and ensure we had everything organized. The canteens, for example, as well as washrooms and bleachers. As well, we’re confirming the availability of Emergency Services. The sound system and the announcer. There is a lot of things that have to be looked after,” noted de Koning. “This is a huge undertaking for us and it’s also one of the biggest events that’s staged in Neepawa on an annual basis. We have drivers from across Manitoba, as well as other parts of the prairies, who come out to participate each year.” About 25 volunteers will be working hard during the event, ensuring everything surrounding the races goes off without a hitch. As for the rubber hitting the pavement portion of the festivities, de Kooning said that they are aimed at the amateur drag racers who want to try out the sport. “We’ll be able to accommodate about 80 cars. Just how many racers we’ll have involved will be dependant on the weather. If the forecast looks good, we should be able to attract up to 80 cars,” said de Koning.
It’s about more than speed
The track is set up for 1/8th mile drags as opposed to the more well known quarter-mile stretch. It’s done this way to keep the insurance costs down and also ensuring the vehicles don’t incur any damage from an extended run. As for the races themselves, de Koning said they aren’t about who has the fastest car, but rather who has the most consistent time. How that will work is that the cars will race earlier that day and get a time for the distance
that the drivers are comfortable with. Then, that time gets put in the window of their car and when they race in the afternoon, the drivers have to get as close to that time as possible. There will be no knockouts. De Koning stressed that the most consistent driver, regardless of speed, will win. “It’s kind of different, how [the races] are set up. How it’ll work is the cars will race earlier that day and get a time for the distance that the drivers are comfortable with. Just as an example, you could have a Volkswagen racing against a Ferrari, but the Ferrari would start off the line later than the Volkswagen during that run, because it has a faster-measured trial time. So at the end of the run, [both cars] should be crossing the finish line at about the same time, so it makes it interesting for the fans to watch.”
Other activities To go along with the excitement of the races, there will also be a car show the night before at the Neepawa Gladstone Co-op Grocery Store parking lot. In previous years, as many as 65 different types of vintage vehicles and racers filled the lot. A top fuel dragster will also be showcased. Another fun activity that’ll be geared towards kids between the ages of 4-7 will be the MPI mini-car town.

By John Drinkwater Neepawa Banner & Press Barry & Dawna Strudland, owners of Woods General Store have opened up a new venture by operating Riding Mountain House, a Bed & Breakfast located close to the Foxtail Cafe on Meadowview Drive. The accommodation houses four lower level guest rooms with a walkout to an area which includes a barbecue and fire pit.
Purchased in Dec. 2017 the establishment was renovated inside and opened in April this year. Its ideally situated where guests can enjoy quiet and peaceful surroundings, but participate in snowshoeing and cross country skiing in winter and country walks and being just two minute car ride from Wasagaming. The owners plan to operate this venue all year round. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
