Neepawa honours those who served

Hundreds gathered at the Yellowhead Hall in Neepawa on Saturday, Nov. 11, for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony. Above left: Legion member Neil Turner bows his head in a show of respect.

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press Like so many other communities across Canada, Neepawa recently paused and paid tribute to those who have sacrificed to protect our freedom. The Yellowhead Hall was filled to capacity on Saturday, Nov. 11 for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony. People of different ages and backgrounds were all joined as one in respectful silence during the event, which marked the 99th anniversary of the
end of the World War I. As well, there was the ceremonial laying of the wreaths from representatives of the Town of Neepawa, the RCMP, Royal Canadian Legion and several other regional organizations and service groups. Neepawa Royal Canadian Legion Branch Number 23 president Brent Hunter was pleased to see such a wide demographic of people attending. He added that as the years progress, it becomes more and more important to remember. “As the years go on, fewer and fewer of our veterans
from World War II remain. [Neepawa and surrounding area] don’t have many of those veterans left. There’s only eight left, with three able to attend the ceremony. So, it’s important that we, as a community and as a nation, ensure the next generation knows about the sacrifices of those who served,” said Hunter. Neepawa Legion Ladies Auxiliary member Susan Mashtoler echoed those remarks, adding that it was very gratifying to see so many people coming out to show their respects to those who have served and continue to serve.

NACI students make markers to honour Veterans
By Jessica Morton Neepawa Banner & Press
Remembrance Day is only one day a year, but woodworking students at Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) have created a lasting memory. Over the last few weeks, the NACI woodworking shop has made 110 wooden crosses painted white with poppies placed in the centre for their Remembrance Day project. The idea originated from Robert Ferguson who had brought this project to the NACI shops teacher, Eric Gaudet, who then put his students to work. The students who gave their time and talent to help Gaudet with the project include Hunter Cluett, Sage Pollock, Trevor Wrightson and Joseph Plourde. “This project would have just been an idea without Mr. Gaudet and the students,” said Ferguson. When the crosses were finished, Ferguson placed them on the Riverside Cemetery’s veterans graves. At the time of the interview, he had placed 62 crosses and hoped to have enough crosses for next year’s centennial of the first world war. When asked where the inspiration for this project came from Ferguson replied “I just decided to do it so we did it, I felt like this project was long overdue and we always want to remember our veterans.” Ferguson, Gaudet and the students noted that they were proud of this project and their work.

Neepawa nominated for economic development award
Submitted
Neepawa Banner & Press
Neepawa has received recognition for its involvement with “What’s the Big Idea?”. Earlier this month, Portage la Prairie hosted the Economic Developers Association of Manitoba (EDAM) fall forum. EDAM was formed in 1993 to improve communication, contact and liaison within the economic development profession. For the f irst time in the 24 year history of the Association, an awards component was added to the fall agenda, introducing two categories – Outstanding Project of the Year, and The Rising Star Award (for practitioners in the field for five years or less that are making an impact). In the project of the year category, Neepawa received a co-nomination for “What’s the Big Idea?” and the swell of success that has generated to inspire entrepreneurship. Minnedosa EDO Chantelle Parrott was on hand to accept her certificate as a nominee (as Neepawa’s Marilyn Crewe was juggling dual duties in her role as the EDAM Board President and Master of Ceremonies for the Awards portion of the event). The other nominated projects included: Making Sense of the Rural Manitoba Regions (Rural Development Institute), the North Forge East Business Incubator (Pinawa) and the Roquette Pea Processing Plant (Portage la Prairie).

The award was won by the Roquette initiative in Portage la Prairie, which is a $400 million project touted to be the largest single business investment in the provincial history. The event was attended by 50 delegates as well as related municipal officials and guests from the local economic development Board, the Chamber of Commerce and the media.

anitoba is one of the few remaining jurisdictions in which project labour agreements (PLA) are used, but that might be changing. On Nov. 3, the provincial government opened consultations on their current procurements practices, with a goal of reducing or eliminating the use of PLAs on major government projects. PLAs are used on large-scale projects and set the wage rates and benef its that will apply to MY all employees. PERSPECTIVE They replace any ex ist ing collective bargaining agree- Kate m e n t s a n d Jackman-Atkinson usually require that all workers hired pay union dues during their work on the project, even if they aren’t a union member. Recently in Manitoba, PLAs were used on Bipole III and the Red River Flood-way expansion. In making the November announcement, Infrastructure minister Ron Schuler said that they believe it will help them find savings for Manitoba taxpayers. The minister said that the PLA structure increases a project’s costs, reduces the number of potential contractors and infringes on the rights of workers. The consultations follow on the heels of Manitoba Hydro’s announcement that they will terminate their Transmission Line Agreement, a PLA for transmission-based projects, at the end of this year. This will allow individual contractors to choose whether to use union or non-union workers and it’s expected the move will result in a larger pool of eligible contractors and increased competition in the bidding process. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has been pushing the province to abandon PLAs, arguing they violate the charter rights of construction workers. The organization pointed out that PLAs were banned in the 47 EU member states after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that PLA policies were a violation of human rights. New Zealand, Australia and some American states have also eliminated the use of PLAs. But there’s a counter argument. Last year, the Manitoba Building Trades (MBT), which represents more than 8,000 construction and trades professionals in 13 member unions, released a document outlining the benefits of PLAs. It explained that PLAs provide common wages and working conditions for a large and diverse workforce and help protect the taxpayer from “fly-by-night” contractors who submit low bids based on using poorly trained workers. MBT notes that the use of PLAs doesn’t limit the number of con-tractors who can bid on a job, it merely requires them to pay prevailing rates. According to MBT though, one of the biggest benefits of PLAs is that they support the training of workers. The unionized construction industry contributes to the on-the-job training of Manitoba’s workforce and union dues support the province’s five training centres. On the surface, PLAs do aim to meet an important goal, ensuring that large projects are undertaken by skilled tradespeople. However, despite their use, we continue to see instances of cost overruns and projects that don’t deliver as promised. American research on PLAs has reached mixed conclusions, though they seem to be most effective for highly complex projects and in locations where a higher percentage of the workforce is unionized. As a taxpayer, we want value for our money. Most of us can agree that the lowest bid isn’t always the best; we want to see competitive prices, but high-quality work that will serve Manitobans for a long time. PLAs might help achieve this, they might not, but it’s worth investigating. Maybe it’s time to move away from the agreements, which were first introduced by premier Duff Roblin; a lot has changed since then and maybe so too should how we look at project procurement.

No freedom is greater than this
During my years in Edmonton, I became good friends with a man who fought an on-going battle with depression. He told me it was worst in the winter months. From midNovember to mid-February, his apartment got very little direct sunlight. That was bad enough; but as he got older, other health problems kept him indoors a lot; and that just made matters worse. To his credit, my friend refused to sit at home and feel sorry for himself. His wife took him out for drives around town, they met friends for coffee during the fall and winter; and he got out to the golf course whenever he could during the summer. He kept as active as possible and filled each day with as much activity as he could handle. Then, partly as a joke and partly as therapy, he and I started counting down the days from Nov. 15 until Dec. 22 (the shortest day of the year); and whenever we saw each
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein other, we’d tell each other how many days were left. It might not have been the most professional thing to do, but it helped him get through those difficult days. My friend passed away shortly after I moved to Neepawa; but I still do the countdown—mostly out of habit and partly because it helps me cope with the dark days of winter. As I thought about him this past week, I was reminded of three verses of Scripture that speak of using time wisely. King David (Psalm 90:12) wrote: “Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” St. Paul spoke of the need to “redeem the time;” and Jesus told his disciples that he needed to do the work of the one who sent him while it
was day; because the night was coming when no one could work. A ll three statements share a common theme. In this life, there are no guarantees. We don’t know when some major disaster (natural or man-made) might strike that will throw our world into utter chaos. The threat of war breaking out somewhere on earth is always with us. Changes in health, a job loss, economic setback or a random act of violence can hit any one of us at any time and life, as we know it now, will never be the same. That may sound depressing, but that’s how life is. Knowing this, Jesus, in his Sermon on the Mount, encourages us to live one day at a time. “Don’t worry about tomorrow,” he says.
Changing it up
For the past few mornings, the dogs and I have been going for a before breakfast walk. Several reasons for this- it’s not as windy earlier in the day, we are wide awake by 6:30 a.m. anyway, and the days are filled with want to dos and must dos. We had broken our walking pattern. A month of welcome house guests does that. When Marie, from Victoria, was visiting, the weather was mild and we took long walks, around Park Lake, down the Trans Canada Trail in the low lands, out and around. When Bea, from Australia, was out the weather had settled in to cold and windy. The first day I allowed her out with what she thought was a winter weight jacket. The next day I offered her a Canadian winter weight jacket and she wore it for the duration. We took more
HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen frequent, shorter walks. And tried a different walking formation. Henry Hoover had strained a leg leaving the bed and no longer wanted to share a leash with his bossy sister. Miss Daisy had little patience with his need for a slower pace and inevitably tugged him off balance when he cocked his leg. Henry Hoover was not happy. We allowed them their own leashes and suddenly Hoover no longer limped, and in fact, took the lead on the trail. We picked up speed. So my guests are gone and I have maintained the two leads walks. There are
times when I need to do some high stepping to avoid being toppled by twisting leashes, and that’s not all bad either, a whole new set of muscles are involved. This before breakfast walk is brisk. Miss Daisy hears her food calling from the time we leave the house until she is fed. The weather has been perfect; not so warm that their feet become snowballs, and not so cold that they hippity- hop showing me their feet are cold and we need to get home. There is another benefit, for me, in watching my world wake up. The progress of the sun breaking the darkness, the
“Tomorrow w ill bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” (Matthew 6:34) Jesus didn’t just speak these words—he lived them. He eagerly welcomed a new day, knowing that it would be filled with needy people, challenging situations and cries for help that would break his heart. As each challenge presented itself, he gave it his undivided attention. His faith was in his heavenly father who, he knew, would help him meet every need that he encountered. He had no worries about tomorrow. He could live each day as though it was his last; knowing that one day soon, it would be. Living as Jesus lived isn’t easy. We must put our faith in the God who knows how many days of life each of us has left, who knows the challenges we will face each day and the things we will need. By trusting him with our tomorrows, we are free to focus on our todays—and no freedom is greater than this.
last stars fading from sight, lights going on in homes as we walk past, the quiet crunch of our feet on the snow. The silence. My path hasn’t changed, still up the street to the cemetery and back, my perception of the path changes. That, for me, is the wonder of walking. Same trail every day, and yet, always something new. When I did the final lock up last night the scent of skunk was heavy in the air. This morning that smell was distinct two blocks away with cute little footprints in the snow. I kept a close hold on my dogs, just in case. We were up before the birds this morning. There is a jay that sasses us, a junco that examines us, and a crow that often escorts us. No barking dogs in the early morn. Not certain how long I will be an earlier riser, for now it’s a pleasant change.
Thumbs up, thumbs down
Thumbs up to all the courteous drivers in and around town. We do a lot of walking and sure appreciate it. Also, a thumbs up to the guy that helped me off the ice last winter. Alice and Jake De Beer Neepawa, MB

Observation
By Addy Oberlin
The winter season has arrived with snow and cold. There is no mistake and we are in it for the next few months. Living on the prairies we know that our seasons are distinct when we live in a farming community. If the seasons come together well with seeding, growing and harvest the farmers are very happy. This never changes. When we look at our own lives, we know that we can look at different seasons also. When we are blessed to have children and see them grow up healthy and happy we foresee a great time of harvest, that when we become in the season of harvest and have to pass on the reigns, they will take over and look after the parents, just as they loved and cared for the children when they were growing up. Ecclesiastes puts it so beautiful in Chapter 3:1 “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose in heaven. May we all be blessed, whatever season we are in and whatever season is awaiting us
Letters
Did Tommy Douglas found medicare?
Mackenzie King was the first prominent Canadian politician to promise medicare, a month after the Winnipeg General Strike in 1919. He promised it at the convention where he was elected leader of the Liberal Party. And he promised it in the context where trade unions in Canada were sending greetings to Russia’s new socialist government. Other politicians promised far-reaching reforms like those invoked by Russia’s new socialist government. In fact, it was only after women in Russia won the vote in 1917 that women completely won that right here. Coincidence? I think not. Darrell Rankin Leader, Communist Party of Canada Manitoba Publishers note: They didnt need as much medi-care in Russia, because Lenin and Stalin murdered and starved more people than who died in the Holocaust.

The late 90’s
Helen Drysdale out of helen’s kitchen The 1995 Quebec referendum is held on sovereignty.
The NO side narrowly wins. 1996-February 14 - Mr. Dressup does his last show 1996 December 16 - Chrétien formally apologizes for lying about the GST. February, 1996 - Royal Canadian Mint unveils twodollar Polar Bear coin which is quickly dubbed the toonie. June 21, 1996 - National Aboriginal Day first celebrated. May, 1997 - The 1997 flood in Manitoba was called the 100-year flood. It overwhelmed Winnipeg’s existing flood protection system. More than 22,000 people had been chased out of the Red River Valley, turning some 20 southern Manitoba communities into sudden ghost towns. 1997 – Neepawa signs up for 911 service. January, 1998 - Federal government issues a formal apology to First Nations for past injustices like the residential school. 1998 – A powerful ice storm paralyzed huge portions of Quebec and Ontario. They received up to 100 mm of ice pellets and freezing rain leaving some places without electric power for weeks. April 1, 1999 - The Creation of the new territory of Nunavut, mainly inhabited by First Nations people. Y2K bug, or Millennium Bug, that was projected to create havoc in computers and computer networks around the world at the beginning of the year 2000 never materialized in any big way. The supposed upcoming crises did not daunt the Viscount Cultural Council as they compiled a cookbook as a means of raising funds. We are very fortunate in this community to have such a place to showcase our community’s artistic talent, to partake in the many courses offered that help expand our horizons and to have a place to rent for our many celebrations and performances. Kudos to the founding people that had the courage and foresight to help enrich our community. So from the “Art of Cooking” I present to you several of their recipes.

The Millennium did not bring about any major glitzes and life went on as before. Prime Minister Jean Chrétien caught his opponent’s off-guard by calling an early election. A five-week campaign saw Chrétien win a third majority in the House of Commons, the first time this had happened in Canada since 1945. Former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau passes away in September and is given a state funeral. 2001 - Manitoba had 21,071 farms with nearly all of them family-operated. April 2002 –Headlines in the Press read “A town gone dry”. A malfunction at the water treatment plant left the town without water for most of the week. 2003 - Jean Chrétien retires as Prime Minister and is replaced by Paul Martin. Farmers income hits an all-time low with mad cow disease and drought. 2004 - The Canadian Alliance party merges with the Progressive Conservative and is led by Stephan Harper. Roland, Manitoba is recognized as the birthplace of 4-H in Canada as it was the community in which the first organizational meeting for a Boys and Girls Club was held in 1913. The program’s original aims for the boys were to help learn and improve agriculture skills, and for the girls to help improve homemaking skills as well as leadership and citizenship training. The importance of public speaking skills was recognized and the Provincial Communications Competition, begun in 1947, remains a cornerstone of the 4-H program. There were beef, dairy, poultry, swine, garden, seed, sewing clubs, home economics, horse and woodworking clubs all dedicated to the advancement of new techniques. 4-H stood for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. 4-H rallies, achievement days, trips, fun, fellowship and hard work kept the young people

Cattle producers look to the future
By Kate Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press With the cows now home and the bales stacked, beef producers across Manitoba have begun to look to the future. This fall, Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) have been holding their annual district meetings to discuss issues of importance to producers and the future of the industry. Local MBP director and Langruth area producer Tom Teichroeb said that while members across the province have different concerns, three major topics were on the agenda at each meeting. The first is concerns over losses due to predators. Teichroeb explained that MBP has been working with the provincial government’s Sustainable Development department on this file for a number of years. While historically producers have been concerned with the loss of animals to wolves and other larger predators, this year, producers have stepped forward with concerns over losses in other areas, such as blackbirds in corn for use as animal feed. While the issue isn’t resolved, Teichroeb said they have been seeing some progress in meetings with the minister and deputy minister. Another province-wide agenda item is the pending increase in check off, which is the refundable fee paid by producers when cattle are sold or slaughtered. This was previously approved by the association’s members and was to come into effect this year, however, the associations in Saskatchewan and Alberta asked to delay the implementation in order to bring forward some bigger issues. The increase is expected to come into effect early in the new year. The other major agenda item is how to grow the province’s cattle herd. In the summer of 2016, Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler set the target of increasing the province’s beef herd by 70 per cent in the next 10 years. Teichroeb said that they will be listening to feedback from members about how this can be achieved. The issue of Bovine TB remains important to producers in the Riding Mountain National Park area in particular. Teichroeb said that there have been no positive diagnoses of the disease in the domestic herd and monitoring of wildlife is ongoing. He explained that MBP is continuing to push for a TB clear status for the province. “We’re so close, if we can regain [the clear status], it would be advantageous,” he said.
Upcoming changes Cattle producers operate as part of a larger regulatory environment and these outside forces will have an impact on producers’ operations. One such issue is antibiotic resistance, something the World Health Organization is extremely worried about. Upcoming changes will require producers to obtain a veterinarian’s prescription in order to purchase antibiotics, some of which can currently be purchased over the counter at farm supply stores. “Not that I like regulation any more than the next guy,” said Teichroeb, “but this is a necessary change, resistance is an important topic.” Teichroeb explains that while many producers are concerned about the added cost due to less competition, he still thinks that there will be enough competition, especially when many drugs can be ordered. “You’ll have to have one really good relationship with a vet, which I think most producers have,” he said. Teichroeb sees taking a proactive approach to prevent resistance, rather than having to react after the fact, to be important for the industry. The other change aims to increase traceability. In order to better handle disease outbreaks and subsequent quarantine requirements, Manitoba producers will have to comply with increased traceability requirements. Teichroeb explains that in the near future, producers will have to prepare livestock manifests whenever animals are transported. This documentation has been required in both Saskatchewan and Alberta for a number of years, but wasn’t previously mandatory in Manitoba. The manifests are printed by the Manitoba government and can be purchased at Manitoba Agriculture offices. A free version, without a unique identifier code, can be printed from Manitoba Agriculture’s website for transport within Manitoba. Producers will also be required to have a premise ID number, which must be recorded on the manifests. Teichroeb explained that this change has been driven much more by the Canadian Food In-spection Agency
(CFIA) than the industry, but that this move represents a compromise from the more thorough recording proposed by CFIA, which would have required animals to have their CCIA tags scanned in and out at every move. He explains that preparing and completing manifests is a relatively simple process and won’t result in additional stress on animals or infrastructure requirements. Looking to the future Like any industry, MBP is concerned about getting young producers not only involved in the industry, but also in governance. New for this year was a partnership with 4-H Manitoba to hold Emerging Beef Leaders forums at three locations. These meetings preceded the district meetings in Districts 3, 5 and 11 and Teichroeb said they went well, with some participants staying for the district meeting. Getting younger producers involved at the board level is important to the future of both the industry and MBP, explains Teichroeb. The lobbying and research work undertaken by MBP plays a key role in helping producers of all ages and ensuring the industry’s viability. But including young producers in the organization has other benefits, “We learn from them… It’s a great opportunity to mentor and learn from each other,” said Teichroeb.

Province announces plans to sell pot
By Kate Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press
The sale of recreational cannabis in Manitoba will take place in private businesses, but will be controlled by the provincial government. This hybrid retail and distribution model was announced by Manitoba premier Brian Pallister on Nov. 7. The federal government has mandated a July 2018 implementation date for the legalization of cannabis for recreational use and across the country, provinces have been developing their own strategies for the distribution and sale of the drug. Under Manitoba’s new model, the Liquor and Gaming Authority (LGA) will regulate the purchase, storage, distribution and retail of cannabis and Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation (MBLL) will secure and track the supply of cannabis sold in Manitoba, but the private sector will operate the retail locations. While some Manitobans, including the Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union, favoured selling cannabis through government retail channels, Pallister said that this move strikes the right balance. “Legalization of cannabis is a major shift in public policy and safety remains our top priority,” he said, adding, “MBLL oversight of supply and distribution will ensure safety and retail by the private sector will ensure competitiveness and accessibility, which will help achieve our goal of getting gangs out of the cannabis business.” Pallister also said that the decision to use private sector retailers means that there will be no need for public investment in new store fronts. The first retail locations in Manitoba will open July 2, 2018, meeting the federal government’s deadline. However, recreational cannabis sales won’t be coming to every municipality. Following the announcement, municipalities learned that they will have the ability to decide whether or not cannabis can be sold within their jurisdictions. This would be similar to their ability to govern Sunday shopping hours or alcohol sales
and would likely be done through zoning bylaws. Three objectives In coming up with a retail strategy, Pallister said they set out the objectives of eliminating the black market, keeping cannabis out of the hands of youth and creating new opportunities in the private market. “The private sector’s role in encouraging competitive pricing supports these goals. At the same time, provincial oversight will help maintain supply chain integrity and prevent the diversion of product,” said Growth, Enterprise and Trade minister Blaine Pedersen. Similar to what the province already does with private wine stores, all cannabis sold at retail locations in Manitoba must be purchased from MBLL, which will source product from federally licensed producers. MBLL-owned and operated facilities, or those licensed through the LGA, will handle the storage and shipment of product. The government hopes that economies of scale and bulk purchasing will allow them to both undercut black market pricing and support the retail sector. The province will be issuing a request for proposals from those looking to operate retail locations, with an application deadline of Dec. 22. Successful proponents will be notified by Jan. 31 and agreements will be signed by March 31. While the announcement said that the request for proposals would be open to businesses looking to operate one or more retail locations, on Nov. 8, Pedersen said that in the first round of approvals, they are only considering businesses that will serve multiple locations. “We’re looking at crossManitoba coverage,” he said to the Winnipeg Free Press. “How can you have a single store and serve all of Manitoba? This is a phased-in approach. We need entities that can cover the province. In the future, we can look at one-offs.” Dougald Lamont, the newly elected leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party, said that the request for proposals suggests that
while there may be many retail outlets, only four applicants will be considered to run them, a move that favours large chains at the expense of Manitoba small businesses, including those currently operating medical marijuana dispensaries. “This RFP is a bait and switch from what the government promised the other day and is a gift to ‘Big Weed’ while Manitoba entrepreneurs are shut out,” said Lamont. Elsewhere in Canada, there has been some concern about the ability of licensed producers to meet the new demand in a relatively short time period. Across Canada, there are currently 69 medical marijuana growers who have been approved by Health Canada, but most of those are new companies; over 30 of them received their initial licensing in 2017. In Manitoba, there are only two licensed growers. In anticipation of increased demand, Delta 9, the province’s oldest medical marijuana grower and retailer, went public on the TSX Venture stock exchange last week. CEO John Arbuthnot has said the money raised will allow his company to increase production from 1,000 kilos a year to 17,000 kilos. Then there is the question of legalizing growers currently operating in the “black” or “craft” markets. The B.C. based Cannabis Commerce Association of Canada, which represents about 250 small and medium-sized businesses currently operating in the “craft” cannabis marketplace and wanting to participate in a future legal marketplace, say that provincial government policies must include current growers. They argue this is a way to meet demand, help eliminate black market activities and preserve jobs and industry knowledge

already in existence.
Laying the ground work When it comes to the legalization of marijuana, safety, especially on roads, has been a major concern for Manitobans. Pallister said that the first step towards legalization began in March, with the introduction of the Cannabis Harm Prevention Act, which targets dr ug-impa ired driving. In September, Manitoba Public Insurance launched a campaign to raise awareness about the dangers and consequences of drug-impaired driving. The next step took place at the end of July, when the provincial government issued an expression of interest to gauge the interest and capability of the market to provide services for the production, distribution and retail of cannabis. Pallister said that they received 60 responses, indicating significant private-sector interest in participating in the new cannabis industry. While the Nov. 7 announcement outlined the framework under which cannabis will be distributed and sold in Manitoba,
a few questions remain unanswered, including at what age people will be allowed to purchase the drug, as well as how it will taxed. The federal legislation includes some guidelines, but provinces can go beyond these minimums. For example, the federal government has set the minimum age of purchase and consumption at 18 years of age, as
well as announcing plans to impose a tax of $1 per gram on cannabis costing up to $10 a gram, plus an additional 10 per cent tax on cannabis priced above $10 a gram. This money will be shared equally between the provincial and federal governments. Further additions to Manitoba’s plan are expected in t he coming months.
What are other provinces doing? Few provinces have formally announced their plans for the distribution and sale of recreational cannabis, but here’s what has been announced so far: Ontario: 80 stand-alone stores will be open by July 1, 2019, with roughly 150 opened by 2020. - Online distribution will be available across Ontario from July 2018. - A proposed minimum age of 19 to use, purchase and possess recreational cannabis. - Cannabis can only be consumed in private homes. New Brunswick: A new crown corporation to oversee sales will be created, but there has been no announcement as to what types of storefronts will be allowed. - Two licensed producers will supply the province’s stores. - No commitment on legal age. Alberta: Minimum age to buy and consume will be 18 years of age. - Retail locations, overseen by the Alberta Alcohol and Gaming Commission, will sell cannabis, but it’s unknown if they will be public or privately run. - To begin with, use will be confined to private homes and select public spaces.

Neepawa offers new incentives for development By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
Plans are in motion for a new incentive program to attract more development into Neepawa. On Tuesday, Nov. 7, town council reviewed a bylaw that would provide taxation incentives for new multiple-unit residential development, as well as new or expanding, commercial and industrial developments. One of the main components of the ‘Development Incentives By-law” would be a multi-year municipal tax credit, which would essentially serve as phased-in approach to tax rates for certain projects. The length and amount of the incentive would vary, depending upon the type of development. A multiple-unit residential
would be eligible to receive a progressive tax credit on municipal taxes, over a period of three years: Year 1 = Total general municipal taxes @ 75 per cent reduction Year 2 = Total general municipal taxes @ 50 per cent reduction Year 3 = Total general municipal taxes @ 25 per cent reduction Year 4 = Full taxation rates apply The commercial and industrial tax incentive would see developers eligible to receive a tax credit equivalent to 50 per cent of municipal taxes per year for two years for constructing or expanding a property that increases the assessment value by a minimum of $500,000. It would also encour-
age large industrial and manufacturing businesses to locate, operate and provide employment within the Town. Development that increases the assessed value of a property by a minimum of a million dollars will be eligible to receive tax credit incentives over a period of four years First reading of the bylaw was made on Tuesday and will undergo further discussion at a future council meeting before being approved. Raff le and lottery changes The Liquor and Gaming Authority of Manitoba has offered municipalities the ability to issue raff le lottery licenses. The new rules will apply to all raff les and lotteries with net revenues and total
e r o M
prize values of less than $3,000. These licenses are meant to ensure that only charitable and religious organizations are profiting from the proceeds and that there is accountability. R a f f les w it h revenue under $250 will be charged a license fee of $5. Raff les between $250 and $1,500 will be charged $10, while raff les between $1,500 and $3,000 will be charged a license fee of $20. Any raff les, lotteries, 50/50s or Chase the Aces over $3,000 will need to registered directly with the Liquor and Gaming Authority. Accessibility plan An open house geared towards community accessibility has been scheduled for Monday, Nov. 20, between 6:00 p.m. and
7:30 p.m. at the Town Office. Mayor Adrian de Groot said the meeting is looking to gain the public’s feedback on the current state of access to town services, where there may be barriers in place to that access and how to eliminate those barriers. Snow removal deal The Town of Neepawa and Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation have agreed to a snow removal deal. MIT pays the Town a f lat rate of $61.42 per centimetre to remove snow from sections of Highway 16 that are near and pass through the community. Misc. T he f i reha l l desig n tender process closed on Nov. 1. The submissions are still being reviewed.
Meanwhile, the water and sewer systems for the new building have been completed. Neepawa’s north end water project is nearly completed. The current ground conditions have delayed t he prog ress, with two of the four water services lines hooked up. The remaining work is expected to be finalized soon, however.

Locals save drowning teens
By Cecil Pittman Neepawa Banner & Press 80 years ago Tuesday, November 16, 1937 Fifteen rural telephone lines were put out of order and many severely damaged during the sleet storm over the weekend. The lines affected mostly were those north and northeast of Neepawa and some west of Eden. Crews were hindered in their repair work by roads blocked with snow. As new poles had been set up in most of the area covered by the storm, the greater part of the damage was broken wires. In some instances the ice had formed an inch thick on them. The storm also blocked roads between here and Portage la Prairie. A snow plow, however, was expected to come through from the east Monday or today. 70 years ago Thursday, November 20, 1947 The epidemic of mumps in Neepawa is showing no signs of abating. Mumps is an acute infectious disease caused by a small virus which affects the salivary glands. It is the consensus of many medical authorities
that young children should be exposed to mumps so when they have passed the age of adolescence they do not run the danger of the complications which might affect an adult who is infected with the mumps.
60 years ago Friday, November 22, 1957 The students of Neepawa Collegiate will be launching their own salesmanship campaign on Nov. 29 for the purpose of obtaining new and renewed magazine subscriptions. The project is sponsored by the student council under the supervision of the council president. This campaign gives the school students the opportunity to raise funds for many extracurricular activities. 50 years ago Tuesday, November 14, 1967 The fact that interest is running high in the changeover to dial telephones in the Neepawa district was aptly illustrated Monday evening when about 500 residents attended “Telephone Night” at the Hazel M. Kellington auditorium. “Telephone Night” was a special two hour program presented by the Manitoba

Telephone System to acquaint customers with the new dial service. The big changeover to dials takes place at 9:00 am, Thursday, when a special ceremony will mark the occasion as dignitaries place the first calls after the switch to automatic equipment. 40 years ago Thursday, November 17, 1977 This years Santa Claus Parade appears to be coming along fairly well, according to parade chairman Carl Brenner. Although Mr. Brenner has already received some confirmations from business people and organizations regarding their willingness to build floats for this years parades, the Chamber of Commerce is still awaiting the return of the forms from many of the businessmen before they will be able to accurately estimate the number of floats in the parade. 30 years ago Wednesday, November 11, 1987 Par t icipat ing in t he Olympic Games, the worlds most prestigious athletic event for amateurs, would be a thrill.

ence, when, as a member of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) ski team, he will attend the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. “It’ll be lots of fun,” said Tom, the youngest member of the ski team. Tom is excited to know he will be involved in the opening ceremonies. 20 years ago Monday, November 17, 1997 Over 1,500 Canadian churches, including Neepawa’s First Baptist Church, are taking part in the Operation Christmas Child program. Under the program, volunteers fill shoeboxes with school supplies, hy-
giene products, clothing and simple toys for needy children worldwide. Since it’s inception in Canada six years ago, Christmas boxes have been sent to children in 36 countries. 10 years ago Monday, November 12, 2007 A Neepawa man is being recognized for his heroic efforts in saving two people from drowning with the Lieutenant Governor’s Life Saving Rescue Award - Mike Girardin and his brother Dorian of Winnipeg - who is also receiving an award - were at their Sidney-area family home
on June 10, 2006 when Mike heard cries coming from the nearby Jackson Lake. “I heard someone crying ‘help’ so I rushed into the house and told my brother to come out,” Girardin said. They found two teens struggling to stay afloat after their boat sprang a leak. “I can’t remember exactly what time it was, but it was already dark, and all of a sudden the moon came out and we could see them,” Girardin said. Mike Girardin said he and his brother never hesitated before embarking on their rescue mission.

similar to raise awareness and fundraise for type one diabetes. The Pedersen family chose to make it a cookie and hot chocolate event and coordinated it with World Diabetes Day on Nov. 14. A fter t he event was concluded, Josie’s mother Chr ist ine Pedersen thanked everyone who do-
nated their money or time to help ensure the day was a success. Pedersen also noted that they continue to do this event every year to raise awareness that people who have type one diabetes can do anything they want and live normal lives like their friends and family who don’t have the disease. 17113MC0

Over 40 in Gladstone 4-H
Submitted Neepawa Banner & Press
The Gladstone HandiWorkers 4-H Club has grown to over 40 members this year, with over a dozen projects, and a budget of about $5,000. At the first meeting in September, members elected a new executive: President, Nikki Anderson; Vice-President, Laci Buydens; Secretary, Keira Reimer; Treasurer, Mandy Anderson; Club Reporter, Rylee Wiebe; Scrapbook Keeper, Siobhan Yorke-Ashman. Kynda Pollard continues as head leader. On Oct. 28, ten members, leaders and friends of the Handi-Workers were present in Brandon Keystone Centre when the club’s canvas was awarded third place in the MB 4-H Art Challenge. The Art Challenge was a Manitoba 4-H Canada 150 project. The twenty provincial finalists canvases had previously been prize winners at local fairs earlier this year. When the Handi-Workers canvas returns from the gallery at the Legislative Building, it will hang in the 4-H display in the reception area at the Westlake-Gladstone Rec. Director’s office. Stop in for an up-close look, and also see other items that show the 4-H story in our community. At the Handi-Workers’ meeting on Oct. 23 plans were announced for a Curling Funspiel in early December. 4-H members, family and non-4-H friends are invited. Three other nearby 4-H clubs have also been invited to join the Handi-Workers for this day of fun, and a bit of “learning to do by doing.” The club thanks sponsors and supporters such as

Big wins for Natives over Winkler, Selkirk
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press
The Neepawa Natives continue to accumulate points in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League standings. More importantly, the Natives are starting to accumulate those points against the very teams they’re trying to catch in the standings. A 40-save effort from goaltender Jake MacLennan powered the Neepawa Natives to a 3-2 win over the Winkler Flyers on Sunday, Nov. 12. The game was played in Winkler at the Recreation Complex and saw the hometown Flyers get off to a quick start, outshooting the Natives in the first period by a 17-8 margin. It would be Neepawa, however, who ended up lighting the lamp, with a pair of goals in the opening frame. Neepawa struck first, just 2:56 into the game, when Austin Friesen scored off a point shot. Then, near the midway point of the period, Mackenzie Belinski added to Neepawa’s lead, putting away his fifth goal of the season. The rest of the period was all about MacLennan, as he made some clutch saves, frustrating the potent Winkler offensive attack. The Flyers would cut into Neepawa’s lead at 11:57 of the second, when Lucas Barker slid one past MacLennan, for his first of the year. The Natives answered back when Breaden Binda put away an opportunity with just 59 seconds left in the second. The goal was an unassisted effort, making it 3-1 Neepawa heading into the third. For the final period, the Natives buckled down in their own zone, doing what they could to hold Winkler at bay. That effort held until the final minute, when the Flyers pulled goaltender Troy Martyniuk for the extra attacker and scored their second of the night. Will Black was the one who put away that marker to pull Winkler to within one. The Natives kept the Flyers from finding the back of the net a third time, to secure the 3-2 win in regulation. The 40 save victory was Jake MacLennan’s second with the Natives, since he arrived in Neepawa from a trade with the Weyburn Red Wings. Winkler’s Troy Martyniuk took the loss with 23 saves. Winkler outshot Neepawa 42-26

MJHL Media Release
The Way wayseecappo Wolverines have confirmed that head coach/ general manager, Arnie Caplan is no longer with the organization. In a media release, the Wolverines indicated that, despite Caplan’s enthusiasm, Waywayseecappo (1-20-1. 3 points) have struggled in the first third of the season and the team has decided to try a different approach to hockey operations and team management. Paul MacLean will assume the role of head coach/ director of player and hockey operations. Paul, who ha i ls from Oa kville, Ont., joined the Wolverine coaching staff in early September. Paul’s approach and knowledge of
the game has made him a logical choice in the coaching change. Discussions are ongoing within the organization to fill the assistant coach position. The Waywayseecappo Wolverines thank Arnie Caplan for his contribution to the hockey club and wish him all the best in the future.

for this weeks award are 20-year-old forward Matt Greening of the OCN Blizzard and 20-year-old goaltender Lasse Petersen of the Portage Terriers.

Obituary Marion Gladys (McMillan) Wallace It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, Marion Gladys Wallace nee McMillan, at age 91. She died surrounded by family Nov. 09, 2017 at Third Crossing Manor, Gladstone, MB. Marion was born April 12, 1926 in Katrime, MB and attended Valley Stream School. Marion was married July 31, 1948 to Earle Wallace. They had four children, Ceone, Keith, Marilyn, and Brenda. Marion and Earle farmed at Golden Stream until they retired to Gladstone in 1979. Marion enjoyed her family and friends. She was active in the UCW, Legion and Gladstone Museum. She spent many enjoyable hours making floats, displays, quilts and knitting. She was also very musical. Unable to read music she played the piano, guitar, harmonica, violin, and accordion by ear. Marion loved being outside. She gardened and kept a large yard. Hummingbirds were her favourite. She appreciated all nature had to offer. We all love and miss her. There will be a private graveside memorial at a later date. Marion was predeceased by her husband Earle; daughter Ceone; parents: Joseph and Emily; sisters Violet and Edna. She is survived by her sister Joyce; son: Keith (Colleen); daughters Marilyn (Garry), Brenda (Morley); grandchildren Mark and Rachelle, Karissa (Jamie), Trevor (Joerdis), Deidra (Jamie), Dwayne (Sara), Shauna (Trevor), Melanie, Kelly (Tiffany), Cory (JoLynn); great grandchildren: Carter, Jonah, Grayson, Lillian, Caleb, Zoe, Cruz, Emelyn, Corrilyn, Orianna, Eli, Manny, Aliyah, Silas, Melodie, Lily, Sophie, and Bentley. A Private Family Graveside Service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Mildred Germaine Dagg
Eddie Rempel We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new, we thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name, all we have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which we'll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. Sadly missed by Joyce, Brent, Brenda, Darryl and families
August 8, 1935 November 26, 2007 They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no-one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without. Murray and Jacqueline Dagg and family
In Loving Memory of our Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma Jessie Yungkurt November 18, 2015 There is a special kind of feeling that is meant for you alone A place within our hearts that only you can own Remembering you is easy, as we do it every day. Missing you is the hardest part that never goes away There will always be sadness and often a silent tear. But our life time of wonderful memories will help to keep you near. Forever loved and missed by Carole, Donna and our families In loving memory of my wife
Maureen Pittman
who passed away November 12, 1993. Time does not change our Thoughts of her, Love and dear memories linger still; Sunshine, grasses, shadows fall, But true remembrance outlasts all, There is no trial more severe, Than to part with the one we loved So dear. - Always remembered and sadly missed By her husband Cecil

Acadia: GMC’s lighter and more premium family SUV By Ben Castle
Neepawa Banner & Press
T he or ig i na l GMC Acadia was introduced for the 2007 model year and was a key vehicle for General Motors (GM), as it was their first unibody (without a separate chassis) crossover. Over the next three years it, and its two corporate cousins the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse, effectively replaced both the Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy mid-size SUVs, as well as mini vans from Chevrolet, Pontiac and Buick. This was a bold move by GM, but over the next few years most of their competitors followed suit, so it turned out to be a gamble that paid off. The unibody construction meant that Acadia could be more carlike in terms of refinement and fuel economy, whilst offering near minivan-like levels of interior and cargo space. This combined with a strong 3.6 litre V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission made it a hit with families requiring practicality and seating for up to eight people, allwheel drive and more style. Market repositioned However, for 2017/2018, GM has replaced all three models and re-positioned them slightly in the market. The 3.6 litre V6 engine remains but has been given a ten per cent power boost to 310 horsepower making it the most powerful naturally aspirated V6 engine in its class and thanks to the addition of Active Fuel Management, which shuts down two cylinders under partial load, and as it is seven inches shorter than the 2016 model, means an 18 per cent reduction in curb weight and up to a 15 per cent improvement in fuel economy. Passenger space is comparable to the old Acadia, but the downside is that it is also four inches narrower so the rear bench now only seats two passengers rather than three. At only 363 litres, space for cargo behind the rearmost seat has been significantly reduced, but the cargo space with the rearmost seats folded is a still decent 1181 litres. The towing capacity of the V6 model has also been reduced by 23 per cent to 4,000 pounds. However, if you still need seating for up to eight, the new Traverse and Enclave
are four inches wider and ten inches longer, so offer significantly more cargo space behind the third row and also the same 5,000 pounds towing capacity as before. Acadia is available in SLE -1, SLE -2, SLT-1, SLT-2 and Denali trims. Thanks to a standard 2.5 litre four cylinder engine with 193 horsepower on SLE-1 and SLE-2 models, Acadia undercuts Traverse by around $1,000. SLE-1 is only available with the four cylinder engine with all-wheel drive being a $3,000 upgrade. The V6 engine is a $1,260 upgrade on SLE-2 models and the V6 engine and AWD is standard on SLT-1 models and above. Seven passengers Star t ing at $34,995 for the SLE-1 four cylinder, front-wheel drive, all Acadias get 17 inch aluminum wheels, seven passenger seating, cruise control, backup camera, leather-wrapped steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, proximity entry and keyless start, seven inch touchscreen, X M radio, dual halogen projector-beam headlamps, power locks, windows and power, heated mirrors. For $4,300 more, SLE-2 adds power driver’s seat with power lumbar, heated front seats, remote start, front projector-type fog lamps, power tailgate, 18 inch wheels and second row captain’s chairs meaning standard seating for six (although a standard bench in the middle is a no cost option if you need to seat seven). An extra $3,790 for SLT-1 means standard V6 and all-wheel drive, perforated leather seating, power passenger seat, rear park assist, eight inch touchscreen, Bose premium audio and side blind-zone alert and rear cross-traf f ic alert amongst other features. SLT-2 adds the trailering package, memory driver’s seat, heated second row seats, front and rear park assist and 20 inch wheels. Finally, top spec Denali adds such luxury features as heated and vented front seats, heated steering wheel, navigation and HID headlamps and body coloured cladding amongst other features. Truck-like styling The test model was the mid-range 2018 SLT-1 at $48,425 in Iridium (grey)

metallic and with the optional trailering package ($750) and excellent dual skyscape sunroof ($1,685). With its prominent grille and chunky more trucklike styling, new Acadia is more handsome and distinctive than its predecessor. The only potential demerit in terms of styling is the black plastic cladding on the lower half of the doors. This is functional in protecting the lower doors from gravel rash but looks better on the darker colours. The interior is similarly stylish and premium with chrome-effect plastics and piano wood offering a nice contrast and an attractive and logical layout, ample storage in both the centre console and glovebox and intuitive controls. Buttons for key functions such as the ventilation and radio are available as an alternative to using the touchscreen and I liked the temperatures for the climate controls appearing inside each dial. The heated seats have separate
controls for the base and back and the proximity entry on all doors and a programmable height for the power tailgate are other nice features. The interior is light and airy, especially with the sunroof, and visibility is excellent.

a little frustrating that our test SLT-1 spec lacked some features that I might have expected to be standard such as navigation, HID headlamps and a heated steering wheel, which only come as standard on top spec Denali trim. For this reason, I would probably forego leather seating and plump for
SLE-2 with the V6 and AWD and spend some of the money saved on the dual skyscape sunroof, 8 inch touchscreen and possibly the rear DVD entertainment system. So, although smaller and offering a reduced towing capacity and rear cargo space compared to its predecessor,
new Acadia offers signif icantly more power, better fuel economy, a nicer sportier drive, more style and a more premium interior. If you don’t need to do heavy towing or transport more than f ive people and their luggage on a regular basis, then Acadia is a stylish and excellent choice. 17113MF0
