New middle school announced for Neepawa
PHOTO BY KATE JACKMAN - ATKINSON
On Aug. 3, the Province of Manitoba announced funding for a new middle school in Neepawa. The school will be an expansion to NACI, enlarging the current middle years wing. The announcement also included funding for a new stand-alone day care centre. Both facilities are expected to open for the start of the 2019-2020 school year.
By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner A project five years in the making moved one step closer to reality last week. On Aug. 3, Education and Training minister Ian Wishart and Indigenous and Municipal Relations minister Eileen Clark, MLA for Agassiz, were at Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) to announce funding for a new middle years school, as well as a stand alone child care centre. The new school will be an addition to the high school, enlarging the current middle years wing, which has eight classrooms. The 38,000-square-foot addition will accommodate up to 450 students in Grades 5 to 8 and will add nine classrooms, a gymnasium, library, band room, art room and multipurpose room. The idea is to create a school within a school and both facilities will share the sports fields, bus loop and parking lot. The new middle school will also result in changes to Hazel M. Kellington School, which will serve students from Kindergarten to Grade 4. “It’s exciting for the division, community and the kids… It’s fantastic for the community,” said Beautiful Plains School Division (BPSD) superintendent Jason Young. John McNeily, BPSD board chair, welcomed the announcement, saying, “This is an exciting day for the Beautiful Plains School Division and the communities and students we serve. With the announcement, we formally begin the exciting journey to provide additional quality learning space for our students and we are extremely appreciative of the government’s recognition of the space needs we
have in our Neepawa schools. We look forward to providing a new, uncrowded environment for learning in the middle years and we’re pleased the growing population of Neepawa will soon benefit from improved access to professional care for their children through the addition of the new, stand-alone child-care centre.”
Growing enrolment Over the last decade, enrolment in Neepawa’s schools has grown by 33 per cent and isn’t expected to slow down. Much of this growth has been due to expansion of the workforce at the HyLife Foods pork processing plant. About the funding announcement, Wishart said, “We’re very pleased to meet the needs of the community of Neepawa with a modern school and child care facility. This growing town is a great example of cultural diversity.” The sentiment was echoed by local MLA Clarke, who said, “This region has been reinvigorated by families from around the world who have relocated here, thanks in part to the success of Hylife’s pork processing plant.” Young said that the new school will help alleviate crowding in both Neepawa schools. Currently, the largest grade includes 105 students and Young said they are anticipating 100 students in each of the five grades included in the new school. The addition will expand upon the existing middle years wing, between the school and the division office. Young said they are planning to keep the existing soccer and football fields, which will be used by all students. For Young, this project began in 2012, when rising enrolment was creating space challenges at Neepawa’s
schools. He explains that the initial proposal to the Public School Finance Board, the provincial entity which funds schools’ capital projects, was for a stand alone middle school. In 2015, they revised their request to instead ask for a major addition to the high school, which would serve the middle years students. The division has been working on plans for the new wing and Young said that over the last few weeks, they have been working with architects to finalize the design work. Young explains that they are hoping to have tender documents out early in the new year, with ground breaking to occur in April 2018. They are planning to have the school open for September 2019. “It’s a tight timeline,” said Young. Once the new school is open, the modular classrooms at HMK and NACI will be removed. Stand alone child care facility The new stand alone child care facility will be located on the school grounds, along Mountain Ave. The facility will cover 6,000-square feet and accommodate 20 infants and 54 pre-school children, creating a total of 74 new spaces. They are also expecting the facility to be open for September 2019. At this point, Young said they are still finalizing the plans and it hasn’t yet been determined who will operate the centre. Unlike other recently announced schools, the Neepawa project won’t be built under a public, private, partnership model. Wishart said the final value of the project won’t be known until tenders are returned, though they are expecting it to be in the $10 million to $14 million range.

In the Aug. 4 edition of the Neepawa Banner, the story ‘Volunteers needed for mental health walk’ had the incorrect contact number for coordinator Diane Martin. Her correct contact number is (204)-841-0932. Also, in the Aug. 9 edition of the Neepawa Press, in the article, ‘New public roads in Neepawa - Town Council, Tuesday, Aug. 1’, Howard Buffi was
cited as the individual who is stepping away from the Water Treatment facility. That was not correct. Wayne Bell is the individual stepping down at this time. The Neepawa Press/Banner apologizes to Mr. Buffi and the Town of Neepawa for the error. A printed correction will also appear in the Wednesday, Aug. 16 edition of the Neepawa Press.

‘It helps to have a little grey hair’
By Kira McCormick-Adema The Neepawa Banner Pat Gawaziuk and her husband Ernie Gawaziuk went on a three and a half month trip in 2012 to 13 countries in Europe and Eurasia. At 64 and 71 years young, Pat and Ernie set off on their journey on April 11, 2012 and returned home July 24, 2012. The couple planned the trip for six to eight months before they left, they wanted to be able to backpack through their entire journey with little to no formal tours, only what they had planned themselves. Their trip is in outlined is a book Pat recently wrote called Post Menopause but Pre Depends; A backpacking travelogue for seniors. Gawaziuk decided to write her book because she wanted to keep her trip documented and to preserve the memory of her adventure with her husband. She also wanted to share the experience with others. Gawaziuk explained that the book is not written to be grammatically correct, instead it is written as conversations and her perspective. A reason they decided to go on this trip is to show
people you don’t have to be young to go on adventures like this. Gawaziuk said, “Perhaps, we didn’t get to see things that you see on a tour, however, we saw things you wouldn’t get to see on a tour.” She added that her husband is the stable element of the trip and she wouldn’t have made it through without him. “All of the places we visited were our favourites because they were all firsts for me and my husband” states Gawaziuk. Though she added that one of the highlights was getting to see her paternal greatgrandfather’s village in Dzeinachka, Ukraine. “We were surprised at all of the kindness all over the world, it helps to have a little grey hair,” Pat giggles. Overall, it was a memorable experience for Gawaziuk and her husband, if they had the chance they would go to Germany and Austria again with a tour. Pat’s book is available at A rts For ward, The Neepawa Banner office, Margaret Lawrence Home, Poor Michaels in Onanole and from Pat herself.

There is a reason they are struggling! Part of their problem is that while they may know their coverage area, they don’t stick to it
O
ver the years, my experience has lead me to a well-established philosophy about how to run a newspaper. It is fairly simple. Define your coverage area, print news that is relevant to your coverage area, try to only print the facts in the news stories and opinions on the editorial or opinion pages. With that philosophy in mind, it drives me crazy to read our three daily papers in Manitoba. While they have good, well-intentioned staff who may know their coverage area fairly well, they always seem to wander off topic, and quite badly. It has been reported, both in public financial statements and in observational articles, that daily papers are losing strength. It should not come as a surprise. The Winnipeg Free Press and its sister paper, the Brandon Sun, are struggling financially. That’s not gossip, it is easy enough to determine from their publicly available financial statements. The Winnipeg Sun is part of Post Media and their financial woes have been well aired. The PM group has had a few very rough years. At the same time, many local weekly papers are staying strong and even some are gaining strength. So why are dailies struggling? Part of their problem is that while they may know their coverage area, they don’t stick to it. Instead of publishing local stuff, they stray off course and publish dubious material. This week, one of the dailies published a story about a man who did an obscene thing

Ken Waddell to some people at a concert. OK, that wasn’t nice and it might have had local relevance in a Manitoba daily except for one thing. It happened in New Mexico. This silly habit of thinking the obscure, the obscene and the weird happenings are real news when it happens hundreds of miles from the coverage area is very harmful to a paper’s relevance and local influence. I can see a daily publishing some national and international news and that’s fine. But why would they see the need to publish stuff that has no local relevance? Oh, the publishers will say, “It sells papers”. Apparently, that isn’t working out all that well for them, as readership numbers and ad dollars are dwindling in the dailies. And as far as printing national and international news is concerned, that may have been OK decades ago, when the local daily was the only source of news a reader might have. What I can’t figure out is why the daily publishers haven’t figured out that people see all the national and international news on TV or the internet as many as
12-15 hours ahead of the papers hitting the streets. It is impossible for a daily paper to be “first” with international and national news. It hurts all papers when some papers dwindle or fail. It annoys me when any paper falls or fails, as it casts a shadow on all papers. So what should the dailies do? They should do what we weeklies do and that is define the coverage area and stick to it. The big TV networks and the internet news outlets aren’t going to cover the local stuff, but newspapers can and should. The dailies should also encourage and accept local news and photo submissions. It’s a no-brainer. Daily papers can come back but they have to change their ways drastically. If the large corporate, slash and burn approach continues, whereby financial markets and return-on-shares rule the day, papers will die. Ironically, the last investors standing will lose their investment. Let’s hope that the bigger papers take a look at their smaller cousins and learn some tried and true ways to survival and success.

Time to talk
’m a big fan of Malcolm Gladwell’s writing and one of the things that makes it so engaging is that he’s great at finding a person to embody what might be an abstract idea. Following his work, you can tell he’s good at something that many find elusive, the cold call. T he on l y way to get the MY kind of per- PERSPECTIVE sonal stories that make for engaging reading is to call someone Kate up and talk to Jackman-Atkinson them. I suspect that it takes hours of conversation to get that one gem that makes it to publication, but it’s worth it. Perhaps it’s part of his personality, perhaps it’s a trait he honed after years of working as a journalist and author, but regardless of the source, this is a very useful skill. Along the same lines, I have a family friend who was once trying to prepare one of Julia Child’s recipes. He couldn’t quite understand what she was explaining in the directions, so he looked up her number in the phone book and called her. She explained the process and he continued with the preparation. Being able to reach out to people isn’t just a novel skillset used by keen home chefs and bestselling au- When it comes to building thors. This skill is stronger communities, actually extremely we need to get outside important in our daily lives, more of our silos. so than many of us think. For many people, being able to talk to people is a necessity of the job— we have to talk to clients, customers and suppliers. But beyond that, these connections are what our communities are really built on. Each of us, as individuals or groups, have a certain silo of knowledge; we know the events that we have planned, we know our skills, we often have an idea of what we need to achieve our goals and dreams, but don’t always have all the pieces needed to make them a reality. The other problem with these silos is that while we may assume that everyone knows what we do, that’s just not the case. For our communities to function their best, we need people who know what’s going on in the other silos, or who can ask. We need to reach across these invisible divides. In every community, there are many examples of this both failing and succeeding. There are examples of development which has occurred because people were able to reach out and bring together vision, capital and skill. There are also examples of events organized at conflicting times and competing projects that could have been so much more if combined. Our histories are filled with events and projects that could have been so much more, if only groups or individuals had co-ordinated. A phobia of talking on the phone isn’t uncommon; people worry about tone, about being put on the spot, about sounding ill-prepared. The same is true about talking face-to-face with those outside your existing circle. But talking is a skill like any other and the only way to get better is to do it. It’s hard today, when impersonal electronic communication is so easy, but at the end of the day, to go beyond the basics, nothing compares to phone calls or face-to-face. When it comes to building stronger communities, we need to get outside of our silos. We need to actively pickup the phone, or talk to someone at the grocery store, park, ball diamond or rink. We need to know what is, or could be, we need to know what skills and talent exist in neighbours. It’s not that hard, and it’s necessary, if we want to see our communities grow.

Watching the world go by
s I write these words, I am looking out of the window of a United Airlines Boeing 747 flying from Frankfurt, Germany to San Francisco, California. Right now, the plane is over the North Sea, one hour east of Greenland. Arrival in Frisco won’t happen for another seven hours. Well, I’m not really on that plane. I am watching a YouTube video of the flight, every minute of it, shot from seat 53A (well behind the plane’s wing); giving me an unobstructed view of cloud formations, coastlines, mountain ranges and major urban centers; all of which I can view from the comfort of my office chair. I love being able to go into my office, close the door, turn on a video and just watch the world go by. At 38,000 feet, you can’t see much of what’s happening on the ground. Everything you see comes into view, is there for a moment and then passes away. There’s no point worrying about any problems you may witness.
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein There’s nothing you can do to solve them. As I get older, I don’t get as worked up over things in my world over which I have no control and no power to correct. I’m happy sitting on the sidelines, watching them all go by. For example, I no longer care which political party is in office or who the Premier or Prime Minister might be. I just want to know that those in government will respect me as a citizen, handle my tax dollars with integrity and put the needs of the people ahead of their own political agenda. If you promise to do that, you’ll get my vote. If you’re elected, keep your promises and run again, you’ll get my vote again. I no longer care which
church (if any) people attend. I just want to see those who claim to believe in Jesus do what the Jesus in which they claim to believe asks them to do: “Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.” If you do that consistently, you are part of my spiritual family; and I am proud to call you my brothers and sisters in Christ. I no longer pay attention to or comment on the latest rumor that comes out of the local Town Office or Manitoba legislature. I don’t have time for petty complaints about our public servants; especially when I can see that those who provide the services I use are doing the best they can with the resources they have been given. No one can (or
should) ask more of them. As I get older, I am learning to focus on the things that are most important, being the loving and caring husband my wife deserves, being a good example to my family, being a good neighbor, a dependable employee and a faithful follower of the God whom I have served from my youth. As I get older (and this will certainly surprise some of you), I am finding greater meaning and satisfaction in shovelling snow, cutting grass, vacuuming f loors and taking out trash. I’m learning to live one day at a time and to live each day as though it’s my last because one day, it will be. It’s a good place to be. I like it and I think I’ll stay here. But, if I need to get away for a while, I know how to do it, go into my office, close the door, load the latest YouTube video of a trans-Atlantic flight, turn up the volume, relax and watch the world go by
Rather than counting sheep
M
y four footed friends need a bladder break at six, of the am. I dutifully saw to their needs and opted to return to my warm bed. Had the day been scheduled as a productive one, I would have chosen to begin the day in earnest, but the schedule called for nothing, nada, complete nothingness. As I lay there, I realised sleep would be evasive. Rather than rise, I indulged in one of my hobbies, I time travelled. Sometimes I replay a holiday, a family gathering, or a significant event. This particular morning, I returned to the school house I attended from grades two to 12. It was one of those sturdy brick buildings, a broad stairway leading up to four square classrooms, each one with a green blackboard at the front, a solid oak teacher’s desk and a cloak corridor down one side. Big, bright windows in
HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen every room, and a narrow one at the end of the cloak room. (Remember the narrow one.) The washrooms were immediately to the left and right on the stairs, of the main floor. One side of the basement consisted of the teacher’s lounge, the floor painted a battleship grey, a small open area, large enough for two table tennis tables. The other side of the basement was a large auditorium with a raised stage for the annual concerts, 4H speak-offs, the occasional public meeting and after consolidation, converted to a classroom. Tucked at the back of the school, in the center, was the furnace room and
coal storage room. The furnace room could also be accessed through the passage between the two auditoriums. The attic had once been a bachelor teacher’s residence, but by the time I attended, it was a storage area and high school lab area. Intriguing space, overlooking the playground to the east and the ball diamonds to the west. I explored every inch of that old school and loved it as my safe place. There was the time a spring day called me to the river, rather than to math class, and excusing myself to retrieve an item from the cloakroom, I flipped over the window ledge,
hung from my fingertips, dropped to the ground and headed for open skies. There were no alerts sounded at my disappearance, for I was a senior at the time, unlike the incident when I was in grade two and walked the three and a half miles home to fetch a book I had forgotten. To be fair, the teacher had threatened that the next child to forget their reader would have to walk home and get it. It was easier to be excused for the washroom and keep walking. My parents were not overjoyed to see me coming down the lane, for the school had all the older students scouring the village and the river for my whereabouts. Oh well. The remember ing brought many smiles and involuntary laughter. At seven, I rose and began my day with a light heart and a joyous spirit.

Letters
Thanks for opening the dialogue Thank you, Kate, for the excellent ‘My Perspective’ (Aug. 28: “What’s the attraction”). Great writing and deep thoughts. There is one sentence in particular that spoke to me, “It has come to the point where the town -- the residents and administration -- have to make a decision.” It is essential that dialogue occur with those of us who have recently purchased the perpetual care services, and most importantly, with Jack Follows. The care and consideration he provides for not only the grounds, but also the visitors and residents, is exemplary. Every year, there is a challenge, early frost, drought, smaller plants and this year, the canola seed in the topsoil. I am a small scale gardener and any one of these issues can be dealt with quickly in my garden patch. Multiply that by acres and it’s not so easy. My deepest appreciation to those who labor in adverse weather conditions and against farming odds! Again, thanks for opening the dialogue and may we not resort to funding an outside input, funding that could be better used resolving the problem ourselves. Rita Friesen Neepawa, Manitoba
Babies, bathwater and health care
The concept underlying consolidation of rural ambulance services and increases in full time paramedics is not hard to grasp. Closing existing facilities is not as easy to appreciate. We have volunteers trained as first level paramedics who are available on reasonably short notice. Their services were created to meet a need. In emergency care, time is of the essence. The quicker the response, the better the odds of full recovery. It is irrational to contend that local services are no longer needed. The problem with consolidation is that if a paramedic crew and ambulance is on the way to Winnipeg with a critical patient, that crew is not available for several hours, travel to, waiting for patient admission, travel back and disinfecting for the next patient all take time. In addition, quick response reduces anxiety and stress for the patient and family. Maintaining local paramedic services makes sense, even if improved care and transport is provided from a central source. A back-up ambulance at the central location can be pressed into service when two or more incidents arise in a short time frame. A combination of volunteer local service and central transport services gives residents the best care possible. Centralization without local support does not. John Feldsted Winnipeg, Manitoba

Otto farm 100th celebration
PHOTOS BY PENNY ROGERS
Top: It was a busy weekend for Gladstone’s Otto family as they celebrated the purchase of the family farm 100 years ago. From Aug. 4-6, approximately 120 family members gathered from as far away as Tennessee to share stories, photographs and memories that took root in 1917, when Heinrich Wilhelm Otto purchased land and moved his wife, Katharina, mother-in-law Barbara Heintz, and several of his children and grandchildren to Gladstone. Left: Everyone was treated to a hayride that included a tour of some of the 100-year-old Otto farmland and an explanation by Gary Otto as to what some of the crops currently being grown are used for. Right: In preparation for Saturday’s hayride, family members were busy slinging bales from the loft of the Otto barn, built in 1934. Bottom left: To help celebrate the Otto 17081GM3 farm’s 100th anniversary, Abby Rosa, from Calgary, spent close to five hours decorating a cake that was enjoyed by all after the family supper on Aug. 5. 17082gm3

Franklin
This year Canada is celebrating 150 years since confederation (The Sesquicentennial). I thought I would spend the next several months showcasing some historic recipes in Canada’s honour. As the community of Franklin settled, they recognized the need for a church, so in 1892, a Presbyterian church was built, largely by volunteer help. The Methodist built a large brick church and they too used much volunteer labor. According to “Rosedale Remembers” history book, entertainment in the early days centered around church functions. They had pie socials, shanty suppers, picnics, musical performances, plays and pageants. By 1908, Franklin was a booming community with a harness shop, two elevators, hardware, jeweller, butcher shop, Dr. Coad’s office and drug store, carriage shop, post office, a CPR station and several other stores and businesses. Then, along came paved highways, new and faster cars and many smaller community’s businesses simply disappeared. As well, farms became larger, schools amalgamated, elevator and railway lines disappeared and the young people moved to the cities for employment. Franklin is not alone in the disappearance of school, church and businesses, however, they have not lost their small-town hospitality and sense of community. On June 10, 1925 in Toronto, the Methodist Church, Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada, and 70 per cent of the Presbyterian Church of Canada entered into a union and The United Church was inaugurated. In 1931, a Women’s Auxiliary group was established. In 1950, they published a cookbook, one of its copies is at the museum. I will be sharing several of their recipes that I hope you will enjoy.

In 1920, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Freeman (nee Anne Orr) became partners. In 1947, with the death of Fred A. Freeman, Bob and Ernie jointly carried on the business until 1957, when Bob died. Ernie continued the business as the Franklin Solo Store until 1971, when it was forced to close because of the lack of business from the district population decreasing over the years. It was a family business for 56 years.

On Aug. 3, at approximately 4:15 pm, officers from the Blue Hills RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 10, located two kilometres north of Forrest, in the RM of Elton, Manitoba. Investigators believe a southbound automobile, being driven by 19-yearold female from Brandon, veered over the centre line and collided head-on with
a northbound pickup truck, being driven by a 45-yearold male from Onanole. The female driver was pronounced deceased at the scene and the male driver was taken to hospital with unknown injuries. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts and alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision. Officers from the Blue Hills RCMP Detachment along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate.

Manitoba Youth Beef Round-Up 2017
Submitted The Neepawa Banner
On August 4 to 6, 2017 sixt y-nine enthusiastic Manitoba and Saskatchewan Junior Cattle Producers attended the 10 annual Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup in Neepawa, Manitoba. Excitement in the cattle industry brought out a top-notch group of interested cattle producers and 78 head of cattle. Where else can you attend an event with 69 junior members all working together as teams and in individual competitions, to learn the skills needed in the livestock industry. This is not just any cattle show, it is an all-around event to promote and educate youth to continue in the livestock industry. Our show would not happen without our dedicated sponsors and committee members who have stood behind this Junior All Breeds Show and helped to make it a success. The weekend started off Friday morning with a presentation from Liz Carey on cattle handling. In the afternoon, the juniors had a chance to try what they learned with a hands-on cattle sorting demonstration and clinic. Friday evening all juniors participated in the Ag Challenge – a fun, hands on challenge where teams work together to complete ten stations related to the cattle industry. This competition is sponsored by Mazer Group and is a great way for juniors to work together, make new friendships, learn something new and have fun while doing it! On Saturday, the juniors were busy with many different events. In the morning they participated in public speaking, individual judging and attended a presentation by Carmen and Donna Jackson on Advocacy. In the afternoon, the juniors took part in team judging, team fitting, the stockman’s knowledge competition and the pee wees had a demonstration put on by Blair McRae. On Saturday, Ambassador and Scholarship interviews also took place. Saturday evening was wrapped up with the cook-off competition sponsored by Enns Brothers and a slip n’ slide to cool off
for the day! Sunday was show day. Thank-you to our show day judges, Levi Jackson and Jared Glasman. Juniors participated in showmanship classes in the morning and then conf irmation classes in the afternoon. We rounded the day off with a parade of champions and a parade of 4-H champions then finished the evening off with awards. Each and every year round-up is a weekend filled with friendships, learning, skills and knowledge. It was once again another successful weekend! Round-Up 2017 Committee: Lois McRae (Chairperson), Rilla & Travis Hunter, Blair McRae, Andrea Bertholet, Ken Williams, Samantha Rimke, Albert & Michelle Rimke, Candace Johnson, Laura Horner, Melissa McRae, Gracie, Katie & Melissa Falconer, Justin Kristjansson, Adrianne Vandersluis, Carson Rogers, Nanette Glover, Jackie Cavers and Wenda & Naomi Best.

Hidden attraction By Kira McCormick-Adema The Neepawa Banner
Located at the south end of Park Lake, is one of the many hidden attractions in Neepawa. There is an assortment of animals which include: emus, goats, rabbits, peacocks and many more that all live in the Rotary Park Bird Sanctuary. The sanctuary is volunteer run and has experienced a year of changes as its main volunteers, Jake Birch and George Burnett, stepped down from their active involvement in the care of the animals and maintenance of the facility. Jake and George are no longer actively involved, but they will still take phone calls when there are questions about the bird sanctuary. Brenda Ferguson, President of the Bird Sanctuary board, said, Rotary Park Bird Sanctuary runs off of donations and volunteers, they accept financial donations on the box at the bird sanctuary or food
donations for the animals. When it comes to food donations, Ferguson said, “If you wont eat it, chances are the birds won’t either” Apples and oranges should be cut up before given to the animals, they don’t eat crab apples or corn husks/cobs. In November they adopted a goat from Shannon and Jason Doerksen, called Clover. The goat fits right in with the other animals says Ferguson. They have rabbits available for adoption available as well. Ferguson, said that they still need volunteers. The volunteers go in rotations on a month-to-month rotation and on certain days that month the volunteer would have to do the jobs that are needed at the Sanctuary, Contact Brenda Ferguson at (204)841-0865 or Richard at (204)-212-0489 if you would like to help and volunteer.

Neepawa Natives post profit MJHL club reports increased revenues in 2016-2017

Daylon Creasy collected the victory on the mound for the Royals. In the opening game of the best-of-f ive series, on Friday, Aug. 4 in Neepawa, a five-run third inning helped the Cubs secure a 8-3 victory over Carberry. Garett Rempel threw a complete game two-hitter for Neepawa to earn the win.

A pair of golfers recently achieved the rarest of feats, the elusive hole-in-one. For one, however, this feat was even sweeter due to the $15,000 prize that came with it. On Monday, July 31, during the annual Touchwood Charity Scramble, Dan Moran of Brandon notched a hole-in-one. He did so on the par three 18th hole at the Neepawa Golf and Country Club. That hole was sponsored by the Neepawa Gladstone Co-op and featured a home renovation prize package, with a value of $15,000 for the first person who was able to hit the one in a million shot. After the event, Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op general manager Brian Hedley presented Dan Moran of Brandon with the prize. Meanwhile, at the Minnedosa Golf and Country Club, Al Bristow notched a similar shot, though it was more about personal pride as opposed to a grand prize. Bristow nailed the ace on Aug. 7, at the 133 yard hole-5, using a seven iron. Congratulations to both golfers on their achievement.

The Neepawa Natives have traded 20-year-old defensemen, Matt Millan, to the Blind River Beavers of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. Millan played two seasons for the Natives, collecting three goals, 15 assists and 48 penalty minutes in 84 games. “Matt is a quality young man, it is never easy to trade players especially ones that have such great
character,” stated Natives general manager Myles Cathcart. “The league changed the rules for 20 -year-olds reducing the number to eight, so difficult decisions had to be made. We wish Matt the best of luck with his new team and thank him for his contribution to the organization.” “Matt has been ambassador for our hockey program the past two seasons. His play over that time has steadily improved offensively and

McCreary MYJC closed for the season
By Megan VanHumbeck Youth engagement leader
As summer begins to slowly wind down, so does the program at the McCreary Manitoba Youth Job Centre (MYJC). As the Youth Engagement Leader, I’d like to thank a number of people for their support throughout our successful season. To begin with, a big thank-you goes out to
my sponsoring committee, the Municipality of McCreary, who have been very supportive of the MYJC program. As well, many thanks are due to the numerous employers, both businesses and homeowners, who have placed job orders with the centre this summer. Your participation in the job referral service provides youth and students in our community with the opportunity to gain work experience and an income! Thank-you
to all of the volunteers who helped out at any of our events and to the community members who attended our events! The MYJC program depends on the partnership with community members, and our success is due largely to you! Thanks! Finally, a huge thank-you goes out to the students and youth who registered with the centre. We hope that your job search continues to be successful!
The MYJC offices close for the season on Friday, Aug. 18. We will re-open in May of 2018, so be sure to look for us in spring! If you have any last-minute questions about the MYJC and its services, please don’t hesitate to call me at (431) 233-3498 or email me at mccrearymyjc@gov.mb.ca. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
