‘There is so much to learn about this condition’
Some local artwork is up for all to see on the south wall of the Neepawa Banner & Press office building. The painting was commissioned by Neepawa Tourism, painted by Neepawa Area Collegiate art students, under the guidance of teacher Katy Martin. There are currently two paintings up in the community, the other being on the ArtsForward building. The plan is for students to paint two murals like this per year over the next few years to get an outdoor gallery established in the community. This image was based off a photo taken by Jon Luigi Pido at the HyLife Back Forty Trail park.
The event is one close to the hearts of the organizers– Will and Brandi Cox. Their youngest son, Logan, was born with Down Syndrome three years ago.
A special cause is coming back to the Neepawa area this year. The Walk With Us campaign is returning for its third year on Sept. 25. The campaign raises funds for the Manitoba Down Syndrome Society (MDSS) and is the only walk for this cause located outside of Winnipeg. The walk will begin at 3:00 p.m. at the Langford Walking Trails–located six miles east of Neepawa on Hwy. #16 and three miles south on Road #81.
New mural displayed on Banner & Press wall
This exhibition is about some incredible Manitobans whose portraits and breathtaking stories will be on display. There will be drinks, snacks and live music from Zach Weston throughout the evening.

Brian Hedley to be acclaimed as mayor of Neepawa
Hedley, who was first elected to Nee pawa Town Council in 2018, is the lone individual who has submitted his name for the job. The position of mayor is open due to Blake McCutcheon deciding not to run for a second term.
As for the election of councillors, as of Wednesday, Sept. 21, there were nine individuals that had submitted their names for consideration for the six available positions. The names of the candidates could not be released publicly, however, before the Banner & Press publication deadline. That was due to the deadline for candidate withdrawal being set for Sept. 21 at 4:00 p.m., two hours after the newspaper goes to print. The finalized list of political hopefuls will appear in the Sept. 30 edition.

As I said in an earlier column, on a recent trip to the US, I couldn’t find a Trump supporter or a Biden supporter. There is perhaps a good reason, neither man deserves sup port. They are propped up old men and if that is the best the US can do for heads of state, I grieve for their future.Contrasting the experience of the two countries, and the state of affairs today, I can easily say our Consti tutional Monarchy is a far superior system. Indeed, “May God save the King, Long live the King.”

knew that the Queen wouldn’t live forever, but her passing was still very sad and somewhat sur prising. That she was still performing royal duties two days before she died was an amazing tribute to her pledge 70 years ago to serve until the very end of her life.
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY DEADLINE:
The Queen’s father helped win WWII, the Queen helped bring about great and good changes in her 70 year reign. Charles will hopefully be able to continue.
Now isn’t that thought provoking? The conversation following that reflected on his grandfather singing ‘Sun day Morning Sidewalk’ and the wisdom in the words of that song. ‘There’s something about a Sunday that makes a body feel alone.’ ‘I stopped outside a Sunday school and listened to the songs that they were singing.’ It got us wondering if he, a very slender, tall young man, who has avoided hair and facial hair care since the pandemic, for mental health reasons, would have been welcomed inside? Where do we as people of professing faith, put our faith into action with acceptance and inclusion?

As I watched the many hours of the Queen’s funeral, I was transfixed by all the ceremony, but was overcome with emotion and shed some tears near the end. The priest acknow ledged the Queen’s passing and then pronounced, “God save the King.”
So why do I encourage the mon
The one morning we pursued the connection between the prayer we term ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ and the content of the Ten Commandments. We start our prayer with ‘Our Father, who are in heaven’ and saw a parallel to ‘you shall have no other gods before me’. Continuing with this reasoning– ‘lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil’ is the covering the thou shall nots, the coveting, the murdering and the disrespect of parents. The conversation included the impact of repeating by rote, and do we think about what we are saying. Then on to what would happen if we only offered the words we truly meant? I admitted that sometimes I would be tempted to leave out a line or a phrase and probably wouldn’t be alone!

Charles has a big task ahead of him and yes, I know, he’s rich, well paid and catered to at every turn. He, and the Royal family, are very wealthy, but they also employ a ton of people, buy millions of dollars of goods and services and are very good for the UK economy.

I have great respect for her.

archy? It’s simple and again, thank God, we aren’t the United States. The US kicked out the monarchy in the 1700s. They have been successful but their political system has become disastrous. They didn’t want royalty but they have created their own by idolizing presidents. The US made the Kennedys, the Bushes and now the Biden family into crazy, entitled and unjustified royalty. The US political system is entirely based on money and influence, where even a race for a state governor can cost millions of dollars.

The text message I received Sunday morning in lieu of the call: “Is there a reason why church doors are closed during service? It seems to me the best time for an open door. Had me thinking while out for a walk this morning. Heard an early morning service in progress but couldn’t hear what was spoken/sung. I was still able to enjoy some familiar music while I sat on the bench for a bit. As I left, I wondered though, how many people might be curious, lonely, you name it, and be turned away by that closed door? I got what I wanted/needed from the bench outside. I have memories and teachings to fall back on though. Had the door been open, I might have poked my head in. Just a random thought, is all. Me being me, I have to point out there are practical reasons, I’m sure, like noise from outside (especially in the city) or weather/comfort.”
The TV camera focused on Charles as the mourners sang and he never flinched. The pressure on Charles is unbelievable and while I don’t agree with all his views, he has my support.
t is a rare morning that does not include a phone call with a grandson. Some calls are five minute check- ins, others are lengthy, philosophical ramb lings– world events, faith creeds, family history or life lessons. I come away from these discussions with a deep appreciation for the younger generations’ thinking abil ity and take on today’s world.

Charles has been waiting to be king for decades but as he so aptly said, he has been dreading the day because it would mean his mother had died.
Charles has had his ups and downs for sure and some of his own making. His marriage to Diana was and always will be surrounded by controversy. He loved Camila, but he married Diana. Let it be said, without judgment or malice, that nei ther Charles nor Diana were angels. As the liturgy of the Queen’s funeral stated, we are all sinners, saved by grace. Saved, that is, if we accept the undeserved grace offered by God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
There is another aspect too and that is the British monarchy has been going for 1,000 years. Thank God, we have the monarchy, in spite of all its past and present flaws.

Applying this fourth les son wasn’t easy.

Sadly, most of the time and for most of us, they were right. Fortunately, we listened. We worked, we prepared, we were prepared, and we passed our exams.

Beta vulgaris (beets) encompasses four varieties of plants: the garden beet we know, Swiss chard, forage beets that are fed to livestock and sugar beets used to make sugar. Beets weren’t always a deep red colour. Beets in Greek and Roman times were either black or white, as opposed to the red, yellow and white (sugar beets) varieties we know today. The red pigmentation was selected and bred into the beet in the mid-18th century. Around the 16th century, the cultivation of beets spread throughout Europe and Asia. Beets have a myriad of culinary possibilities with their sweet, yet earthy, flavour. Roasting beets either whole or cut up helps to caramelize the natural sugars within the vegetable, giving them a more intense, sweeter flavour.
Beets are native to the Mediterranean region. Ancient Greeks cultivated beetroot around 300 BC. They didn’t use the roots of the plant and ate only the leaves. Romans ate only the roots, but for medicinal purposes, treating fever, constipation, skin disorders and as an aphrodisiac, to name a few. Many use it to cure the “I had one too many drinks last night” condition. Beets, filled with nutritional benefits, help eliminate the toxins from alcohol consumption. In the food industry, beetroot juice is used as a colourant. It is used to give colour to tomato juice, sauces, desserts, jams and other food items that are not red enough. Used often in salads and soups, the entire plant is edible and can be boiled, baked, steamed, or eaten raw.

When these resources are no longer available, or the level of stress outweighs the level of resource, we hit burnout.

everything to the person you are caring for. No one person can be everything for another person, which is why we need connection. Give yourself permission to take breaks and take care of yourself in small ways. Ask yourself, “Am I setting realistic goals?” We are hardest on ourselves and will set expectations that we would never expect in others.Weshould always strive for better. It would benefit organizations to provide their staff with information on evaluating caregiver burnout in the caregivers of their clients. There is also not a clear referral path for caregiver burnout. This can leave someone willing to ask for help, lost in a very complicated system.
So, what next? Address ing burnout is a personal choice and maybe you aren’t ready, that’s OK, but if you are ready, here are some things we can do to mitigate risk. As a pro fessional, remember that it’s stressful for caregivers when professionals expect them to meet outcome goals in the person they are caring for, especially if burnout keeps them from meeting said goals. As a caregiver, if someone offers to help you, accept it.

Additionally, 40 per cent of farmers are reluctant to get help due to stigma. These results come from a 2015 study by the University of Guelph, led by Dr. Andria Jones-Bitton.
Reflecting on the event as a whole, Soltys told the Ban

“We had a great and very captive audience– our emcee had a knack of mak ing it feel so intimate and at ease. And our speakers gave everyone some great advice that we could all take home and integrate into our lives,” said Soltys. “Our event space and views over the lake added such an ambiance that one can never get enough of!”
To support the MFWP, a silent auction was held throughout the duration of the event. Through the auc tion, Live Inspired was able to raise a donation of $600.

Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, many Manitobans have been reminiscing about visits the Queen made to the province during her reign. Rev. Chad McCharles, minister for the Neepawa United Anglican Shared Ministry (NUASM), created a display at the NUASM church featuring several items with connections to the Queen to coincide with the official period of mourning.“Ithought it would be nice just to put together a little focus of our grief col lectively in our congregation, because Canadians, collectively have many connections to her late Majesty,” Rev. McCharles stated in an interview with NACTV.Oneof the items in the display is a chair with a personal connection for McCharles. “A special item from my own family is this chair. In our home it’s affectionately known as the Queen’s chair,” he shared.

In addition to the chair, the display also featured a portrait of the royal family with the Bailey family, a story that has run in the Banner & Press previously. This personal visit to local Brian Bailey’s father’s farm near Carberry was during the same visit during which McCharles’s great grandfather met the Queen.
When May was retiring years later, his employers asked him what he would like as a retirement gift. “He asked for this chair, because he knew Her Majesty had sat in it.”

The first two games of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) regular season were al most carbon copies for the Neepawa Titans. In both matchups against the Dauphin Kings, the Titans ended up letting a one-goal lead slip away from them late in regu lation. Fortunately for Neepawa, lessons were learned from that ex perience, leading to the team earning three of a possible four points in the standings.Thefirst game of the year for the Titans was on the road to Dauphin on Friday, Sept. 16. There the team had to witness the raising of the Cham pionship banner for the 2021-2022 Turnbull Cup champions.Afterapair of scoreless periods, Neepawa col lected a goal just 5:41 into the third period off a Kal en Reynolds’ shot on the power-play. The Titans would hold on to that lead until the final 25 seconds of regulation, when An thony Bax scored, ruin ning Titans goaltender Peyton Trzaska’s shutout bid. Bax proved to be bad news for Neepawa again in overtime, as less than a minute into extra time, Bax went end to end and completed the comeback with a wraparound play, securing the 2-1 win on opening night.

NACI Tigers topple the Parkwest Outlaws
PHOTOS BY EOIN DEVEREUX
The Neepawa Area Collgiate Institute (NACI) Tigers figuratively, and in some cases such as the photos above, literally ran over and through the Parkwest Outlaws recently in Rural Manitoba Football League action. The Tigers rushed their way to a 39-0 victory over Parkwest on Friday, Sept. 16. The win improved Neepawa’s regular season record to 2-0 on the year. Additional game statistics were not available from the RMFL website before the Banner & Press publication deadline.

On Friday, Sept. 16, Minnedosa was one of seven centres to host a Community Engagement Network Session for the ‘Aging in Place’ mandate through Engage MB. This was an opportunity for local seniors to give their input for what improvements they want to see and what services the province can offer to its rural seniors as they age. From finding ways to help older Manitobans remain living in their own homes or communities to improving access to services and supports, as well as, maintain active and healthy lifestyles. MLA Greg Nesbitt was in attendance and the event attracted 65 attendees. Doreen Stapleton stated that the information gathered from the attendees is collected anonymously and the shared information will help structure future legislations. She added that she is very happy that rural Manitoba seniors can have a voice. Share your thoughts and experiences on the online survey on or before Sept. 30 at
The Gladstone Legion held a service in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II on Monday, Sept. 19, the same day as the official funeral for the monarch, who passed away on Sept. 8. A floral wreath was placed at the Gladstone war memorial cenotaph as part of the ceremony.

William John “Jack” and Celine Anne Marie. Jack passed away on June 12, 2011 at Dinsdale Personal Care Home. Celine passed away on August 11, 2022 at Valleyview Care Centre. Born October 18, 1926 in Shoal Lake, Jack grew up hunting with his sister Annie to provide for the family and also built a boat for fishing. He attended school through the sixth grade and experienced various careers throughout his life, including the Canadian Military, Miner, Welder/Fabricator, Blaster and Mine Captain. Celine was born in Petit Roche, NB October 29, 1934 and helped to raise her siblings during hard times. After completing high school, Celine graduated Teacher’s Academy and worked as a schoolteacher. She later received her Accounting Certificate and became a supervisor at the Minnedosa Credit Union. Jack and Celine we married in Petit Roche, NB on December 4, 1954 and moved to Minnedosa, MB in 1964. Together they enjoyed fishing, camping and gardening. Jack also enjoyed hunting and hockey; he was a novice inventor and a “Jack of all trades” with Celine enjoying knitting, bowling, curling and cooking. Both were involved with their community – Jack with the Canadian Legion, Old Timers Hockey and Minnedosa Youth Hockey; Celine with Weight Watchers, Neepawa Pentecostal Church, Minnedosa Bowling League and Minnedosa Curling Club. Jack and Celine will be lovingly remembered by their sons Garry (Jan) and Bobby (Cindy), seven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. They were predeceased by their son Donald Chambers in 2005. Together Jack and Celine were laid to rest at a family graveside service in Minnedosa Cemetery on August 19, 2022. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.memorieschapel.com.

significance for everyone involved, for Nancy Syntak it meant something a little extra special for her and her family. Edith Hares and her four daughters, which includes Nancy, have long had a strong commitment to the Auxiliary. Syntak, who now lives in Brandon, said it was important to be in attendance for this.
“It became a family tradition, from generation to generation. Our mother and all the daughters joined,
even my daughter and grand, daughter. It was very personal and out of respect for our mom. She was in volved for 50 plus years, she had her life membership. It was just important to carry on the tradition, because it is a group that just does so much good for its commun ity,” stated Syntak.
Fuel Good Day raises funds for local daycares
The purpose of the Le gion Ladies Auxiliary is to provide financial and
volunteer support to their local Legion and commun ity programs. Neepawa’s Auxiliary first began in December 1932 with 16 charter members. Over the years, it has comprised of up to over 80 members, making it one of the largest service organizations in the Neepawa area. While membership was once tied to Royal Canadian Legion membership eligibility, it is now open to any woman over the age of 18.

A personal milestone was also celebrated on the night, as Leanne Hardy was presented with her pin for 50 years of service within the Auxiliary. Over the years, Hardy has assisted in multiple ways, from baking for and organizing special events to playing piano from 2008 to 2015, or at any time she was asked to entertain. The presentation came as a surprise for Hardy, who was humbled by this special acknowledgement.

The popular video game, Farming Simulator, has come to Manitoba to scan machinery to incorporate local residents’ unique and rare Versatile tractors into the game. Their main location was the Manitoba Thresherman’s Museum grounds, located in Austin, to see the immense collection of farm equipment, including Big Roy. Over the past week, they have travelled to some of the museum’s volunteers’ farms to also include pieces of their personal Versatile collections. Pictured top: A worker scanning one of the Versatile tractors located at the museum. Above right: One of the images of the scan inside the cab of the tractor.

Individuals also should follow a few other backpack recommendations to alleviate injuries. It’s not a good idea to wear a backpack hanging from only one shoulder. A backpack should be worn on both shoulders, and ideally with a lumbar strap. This will help to prevent muscular pains by providing well-rounded support.
The weight of a backpack depends on the age of the
person using it. Generally speaking, adults should not exceed 20 percent of total body mass when loading backpacks. That means a healthy person weighing 200 pounds should not carry more than 40 pounds in his or herInbackpack.regardto children, researchers indicate that a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10 percent of what the student weighs. Those findings are based on a Span ish study involving 49 primary school-aged children. Therefore, if a child weighs 70 pounds, he or she should only carry up to 7 pounds in the backpack.

A backpack with wide, padded straps can minimize pressure on the shoulders, back and collarbone. Backpacks made of lightweight material will not add much additional weight to what’s being carried. Another tip is for children and adults to pack the heaviest item carried in the back pack closest to the center of the back to minimize strain.

Whenever possible, individuals may want to use trolley backpacks, which are on wheels. They can be dragged, alleviating the need to carry heavy loads.
Failure to follow guidelines may result in pain and injuries and have negative effects on balance, which may increase the risk of falls or other injuries.

Music and arts programs often are the first to be cut when school budgets are tightened. The organization Save the Music says that, during the Great Recession in 2008 and 2009, per-pupil spending in public schools decreased by approximately 7 percent across the country. This led to a trickle-down effect that resulted in the cancellation of art and music programs. Since then, many dis tricts have continued to cut arts programs due to budget limitations. COVID-19 also did little to help the situation.
