Minnedosa is making a major splash with its latest tourist attraction. On Tuesday, Mar. 26, it was announced that the Minnedosa and Area Community Development Corp. is working with Calgary-based Splish Splash Water Park to construct a new inflatable water park on Minnedosa Lake. The target date for the 100 person floating park to be operational has been set

for the end of June. In the media release announcing the partnership, Gerry Champagne, the owner of Splish Splash, said this park will be something very unique for the prairies. “It’s an inflatable water park, like a floating obstacle course out on the water,” he said. “These parks are found in Canada and across the world, but there is none in the prairies at this time; to be the first and only water park in the province is an incredible opportunity for
both Splish Splash and for the community of Minnedosa.” A great opportunity This process first began when Champagne approached Travel Manitoba for guidance in finding a suitable community for one of his parks. In an interview with the Banner & Press, Minnedosa’s Economic Development Officer, Chantelle Parrott, noted that when the idea was first presented to her in
late January through Travel Manitoba, she jumped at the opportunity, hoping to get it moving ahead as quickly as possible. “Within a few days of this initial discussion, I was put in touch with [Gerry Champagne]. Then through February, we applied for all of the levels of approval that were required for this to move forward. We then presented it to the Town of Minnedosa. Then, just recently, we received final approval, so from start to
finish, the process has been very fast,” said Parrott. Tremendous effort to reach this point There has been a lot of other work done as well behind the scenes to reach this point of approval. Splish Splash had been working to obtain approval to locate the structure in Minnedosa Lake through various municipal, provincial and federal agencies. Continued on page 12

At the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary, the early bird gets the work By Tyler Paramor Neepawa Banner & Press As the snow melts and an early spring begins to bloom, the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary prepares for its annual spring cleaning. Volunteers of all ages begin to head down to clean the barns and complete work necessary for the summer season. “If this keeps up, by the middle of April, hopefully, we’ll get out there and get the yard cleaned up,” said Brenda Ferguson, a Neepawa Bird Sanctuary Core Committee member. With the volunteers on site for some early cleaning, they’ve been letting the geese out. If temperatures

seemed relieved with the outcome, saying, “You go in the barn now and you wouldn’t know we had a mouse problem.” It seems our feline friends are doing their job. However, the mice didn’t go out without a fight. “As a result, there’s a lot of holes in the walls, so we need to get all that fixed
Budget luncheon planned
By K. Jackman-Atkinson Neepawa Banner & Press
On Wednesday, Apr. 10, area residents will have the chance to better understand what the federal and provincial budgets will mean for them. Hosted by the Neepawa and District Chamber of Commerce, the Provincial and Federal
Budget Impact Luncheon will feature Matt Bolley, a tax specialist with MNP. The provincial budget was released on Mar. 7 and the federal budget on Mar. 19. The Chamber’s luncheon will offer a chance for individuals to better understand the potential impacts of these policies. Bolley will present the key
features of both budgets and answer questions. The luncheon is open to anyone and will take place at Chicken Corral in Neepawa, starting at 11:45 a.m. Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP as soon as possible to the Chamber office.

Ferguson explained, “Where they’re situated, they have nowhere to go for shelter other than under the trees. So with the hail storms and stuff we got last
year, I feel kind of bad for them.” Home Hardware is working on the plan and a crew has been put together to construct the building, once weather permits. While they have a lot planned, the committee isn’t hoping to do the work alone. Ferguson said, “If you’re handy with a hammer, and willing to help out, let us know.”

A sweet experience at the Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press
Millions love the sweet, sticky syrup synonymous with Canada, but many have no idea what goes into the process of getting that bottle of maple syrup from the tree to the table. Manitobans have a chance to get an inside look at the process at the Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival in McCreary. The seventh annual
festival is set for Apr. 12 to 13, with activities split between the McCreary Community Centre and the McCreary Golf & Country Club. Friday evening kicks off the event, featuring a maple themed dinner at 7:00 p.m., with entertainment from a father and sons trio, the Janzen Boys, of Winnipeg. Starting at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, the festival activities get into full gear. “People can expect a
Handbags to bring hope to women in need Submitted Neepawa Rotary Club
New and gently used handbags become a life saving tool to help victims of domestic violence. For several years, Handbags of Hope Winnipeg has been collecting gently used purses filled with useful items, such as new socks and panties, feminine hygiene products and toiletries, and distributed them to women who are homeless or live in shelters. This year, the Rotary Club of Neepawa is getting involved. They are collecting items that they will bring to the Rotary District 5550 Conference in Winnipeg on May 2-5. There, they will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on project to make life a little more bearable for some Winnipeg women. They will fill handbags for distribution through several shelters in Winnipeg These kits meet emotional, as well as practical needs. Many women taking refuge in shelters feel isolated, forgotten and ignored. A project such as this offers hope to a desperate group going through tough times. This is a chance for those more fortunate to show empathy and to give back. The Rotary Club of Neepawa is looking for new or gently used handbags/purses, as well as items to fill them, including socks, warm mitts, gloves, hats, neck warmers, shampoo, conditioner, sanitary napkins, tampons, deodorant, kleenex, soap, brushes, combs, granola bars, hard candy, gum, tea, soup packages, small denomination gift cards and pre-loved jewellery. Items can be dropped off at the Rotary Used Book Sale from April 10-13 at the United Church, or at ArtsForward until April 29.
unique experience, where they rub shoulders with rural folks and learn about their agricultural base and culture,” Pam Little, one of the festival’s organizers, explained. “As the designated Maple Syrup Capital of Manitoba, McCreary is honoured to host a festival that educates people about the producers, the tree and the delicious maple syrup that is produced right here at home.” The festival revolves around the agricultural aspect of collecting the maple sap and turning it into syrup, but there’s much more to do and see than that. “Consistently, people tell us the horse and wagon ride to the sugar bush, the sugar bush experience and the taffy on snow are the highlights of the festival,” Little noted. “Of course, every year, we have new entertainers and 2019 is no different. Jake Chenier, a well known children/family
entertainer plays at 4:00 p.m.; Brenda Rogers, our local singer/songwriter, is encouraging others to jam with her at the golf club from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.... We are lucky to have the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers doing a jigging workshop and performance at 5:00 p.m..” There is also a market, full of local products, including, of course, some maple themed products. There is one brand new activity the festival is introducing this year. “We are excited about the newest addition: Geocaching the Maples,” Little shared. “Thanks to Prairie Mountain Health, we have geocaching equipment to encourage healthy activity. Starting at the golf course, pick up your GPS unit, practice, then head out to find caches in the sugar bush. Should be fun,” she added. Little noted that another new feature is a discounted admission price

for those who only want to visit the market, so they don’t have to pay for all the activities that are included in the regular admission price. The festival not only showcases McCrear y’s maple industry, but also the volunteers’ hard work and dedication to the community that make it possible. “The MMSF committee is indebted to our volunteers that work hard and the donors who help to make this festival a success,” Little expressed. She continued, “The festival supports notfor-profit groups through a volunteer program that provides fundraising op-
portunities in the form of essential services... [that] includes canteens, transportation, healthy activities and organizing a market.” Little explained that the festival is important because it is a chance to show off the beautiful region that is home to the sugar bush and it celebrates the longstanding tradition of maple syrup and sugar making, which goes all the way back to Aboriginal practices. “Come learn how the Manitoba Maple can be tapped, the sap gathered, maple syrup produced and enjoyed, as it has been for hundreds of years,” she concluded.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards; and now he sits in the place of honour by the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 (The Living Bible)

e Canadians are being badly duped by political parties and by many media outlets. Take, for example, the neat idea for an on-the-lake splash park at Minnedosa. It’s a really neat idea that will be a kid pleaser, for sure. Not sure if it will be financially viable, as that remains to be seen. What is absolutely mind boggling is a little paragraph in the press release, “… the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans completed an environmental assessment prior to authorizing the project. Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation (MIT) have now granted final approval for the business to place the structure in the water this June.” Seriously folks? DFO and MIT have to approve such a project. Governments should be embarrassed to even be asked about such a simple children friendly initiative. To think we actually pay civil servants to check this stuff out is a sad commentary. Another example is the whole recycling industry in Manitoba. The two cent container tax is a joke. All that money is collected, the bureaucratic cut is absorbed and then some money is sent out to towns, cities and municipalities. There is no incentive to make recycling viable. The people who do the recycling, that is the businesses and households, get nothing out of it. Because there is little or no incentive to recycle cleanly and effectively, thousands of tons of potentially valuable material gets contaminated and ends up in the landfills. Media and governments will tell you how wonderful recycling is, and it could be, but they don’t really mean it or the system would change. Recycling in Manitoba needs a complete

overhaul and until that happens, neither industry nor individuals will be able to afford embracing the concept. Perhaps the reason that we have so much bureaucracy and so little efficiency in so many parts of our society is rooted in our political party structures. Fresh-faced and eager, well intentioned men and women enter the political arena. They think they are going to make positive changes and sometimes they do. The problem is that, once elected, they are told how to vote. The leader, backed by a bunch of hired help, make all the decisions. The MLAs, or caucus, is informed of decisions on a “need to know” basis. If MLAs, of all political stripes, are truthful, they will tell you they have little input into policy. Their only hope is that the leader and the hirelings happen to agree with their views. Dissent is not allowed. The leaders approve a candidate’s nomination and so it’s a matter of toe-the-line or don’t bother running again. Sadly, many candidates have

learned that the hard way. I feel that leader-approved candidates is not the way to go. I know parties and leaders don’t agree, but it should be up to the individual constituency voters to decide who the party candidate will be. If an elected politician screws up by saying or doing something that is considered wrong, it’s the individual constituency voters who should decide their fate, not the leader, in my view. Like a lot of Canadians, I am tired of a make-believe, play-time democracy. If we had a true democracy, we would have a lot less bureaucratic waste, a lot more efficiency and governments that would more closely reflect the views of the voters.

ast month, the release of the federal budget meant that details about the government’s support for the news media industry were unveiled. Despite the assertion that it would be something else, it looks like a program designed to benefit the country’s largest corporate newspaper chains. The biggest part of the five year, $600 million program is a 25 per cent refundable tax credit for salary or wages paid to eligible newsroom employees. To be eligible, the or- MY ganization must be a Qualified PERSPECTIVE Canadian Journalism Organization (QCJO), and this is where Kate things start to get Jackman-Atkinson a bit sticky. In order to be a QCJO, the organization must meet Canadian ownership or board director requirements. It must also be primarily engaged in the production of original news content, in particular, matters of general interest and current events. Fair requirements if we want to support Canadian journalism. In order to obtain QCJO designation, the news organization must apply to a committee established by the government and argue their case. This is an uncomfortable situation for those concerned about journalistic independence, either in perception or reality. Looking through the details surrounding this tax credit, we begin to see just how weighted it is towards propping up the status quo at large corporate chains. To start with, in order to qualify for the credit, the organization must be a QCJO and regularly employ two or more journalists. This rules out all of the start ups staffed by talented journalists who have lost their jobs in waves of corporate cutbacks. It rules out many community papers, which are often their community’s only source of news, but might not be large enough to support two or more full time staff members who spend more than 75 per cent of their time solely dedicated to the production of news content. The organization must be engaged primarily in the production of written content, which maybe wasn’t necessary, as the rules also explicitly state that any organization considered a “broadcaster” under the Broadcasting Act isn’t eligible. Community papers aren’t just shut out by the staffing requirements, but also because any company that receives funding from the Aid to Publishers component of the Canada Periodical Fund, which is claimed by almost all community newspapers that circulate by subscription, is ineligible. The sting is that the wage subsidy doesn’t require the hiring of additional staff or expanded coverage, it just pays papers for keeping the staff they already have. I believe in the value of community newspapers in printed form, but that doesn’t mean I don’t also see the value in the new and innovative ways people are trying to bring the news to their communities. This program does nothing for the hardworking and dedicated Canadian journalists who have chosen to inform their community through the operation of online news sites, TV, radio or podcasts. Not only has this program put publishers in the position of having to be deemed worthy by a government-appointed board, it has done nothing to combat one of the major problems facing the industry— the unequal treatment between Canadian companies and American tech giants. In 2016, Facebook and Google accounted for 72 per cent of Canada’s $5.5 billion internet advertising market. While Facebook collects Canadian sales tax on ads purchased at their physical offices in Canada, ads purchased online and all those purchases on Google aren’t subject to taxation, putting the smaller Canadian media companies at a significant disadvantage. In announcing the program last fall, the federal Government said it wanted to support news coverage in under-served communities, but almost nothing about this program encourages local news organizations, in any format, to start, keep going, or grow. It seems to be just another case of more support for the status quo.

Monday questions
T
his column and the three which will follow are going to be a little different. What I will share is not unique to me. The ideas come from two men whom I have never met and probably never will– personal and business coaches Alex Theis and Bruce Van Horn. I ran across their podcasts a few weeks ago and have found them to be very helpful, especially at this stage of my life. One of the concepts both men stress is a positive approach to the routines of life. From the insights they shared, I have developed 12 questions that I have started asking myself– three questions each for Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The questions that follow are questions I ask myself each Monday. Question one: What are my commitments for this week? My list includes on-going weekly commitments, bookings for work and other events like Sunday services.
make progress on long term goals? One of my long term goals is to lose weight. I’d like to lose roughly one pound per week. Doing that requires a combination of healthy eating habits and exercise. I have an app on my phone that helps me keep track of what I eat and record how many calories I burn. But for the app to be helpful, I have to be honest in what I record and discipline myself to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. What long term goals do you have? What must you do this week in order to achieve them? Add that information to the list you made for Question One. Question three: A m I prepared to adjust my schedule to accommodate things like family emergen-
cies, unplanned overtime or helping a friend in need? How we answer this question will help determine who is really in charge of our lives. Nothing in this life ever happens by accident. It may appear that way to us, but it is never that way to God. He knows where we need to be every hour of every day. He knows the people we will meet, the ones who need our help and how he wants us to help them. We can– and we should– have a plan in place that will help us fulfill our commitments and achieve our goals. But we must always be prepared to let God change our plans if He, in His infinite wisdom, needs us to use our knowledge, skills, abilities, talents and treasure to help someone in need. One of my favorite sayings is this: “No plans I make are ever cast in quick drying cement.” God can change my plans whenever he chooses. My desire is to be in the right place at the right time so that he can work through me for his glory.
I simply close my eyes to the world around me and drift to a safe place, another realm, and meet the me I aim to be. And the empty moments are filled with calm, promise and fulfilment. “I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it’s not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.’ This world in which we live has a concept of beauty of something that is pleasant to look at, or be with or experience. Another saying is that truth is beauty. We know that not all truth is beautiful. The truth is that we are all going to die. For most of us,
that is not a thing of beauty. Not through earthly eyes. There is beauty in death. There is a calm acceptance of the f inality of this journey, there is, for some, an anticipation of life after death. When in a room, awaiting death, there is beauty in the love surrounding the one who is dying, in the care and concern, the sense of appreciation for all that the individual has offered to others, and their gifts, heightening the sense of loss, but oh, so beautiful to behold. Tenderness, devotion, infinite patience and endless love. Not where I ever expected to meet beauty. Too often we measure this world by the things we can see, or feel. My world is so much more. It is the deep quiet thoughts, it is my faith. It is the support of family and friends, shared tears and laughter. It is the freedom to be alone, but never lonely.

There are some among us that do not understand how another one can long to be alone, needs to be alone, is whole and well when being alone. I have learned that it is the times of solitude that strengthen me to be not alone! One of the thoughts shared in this chapter, as

Observation
By Addy Oberlin ach day, I check the little tree in front of my window to see if I can discover some new buds or leaves coming out. It is a bit early, since the night temperature is still below zero, but it will not be long and we’ll see this green hue when we drive our highways. The snow is almost gone and hopefully will stay away ‘til next winter. I understand that some people have already water running over their roads, now that the ditches are filling up and running over. Spring is a wonderful and awesome time when we see new life sprouting out everywhere in nature. There is nothing we can do to make it come sooner or try to prolong winter. God created the seasons and there is no way whatsoever that mankind can change that. The seeding of the fields can only be done a certain time of the year and the harvest has its own timetable. It is beautiful to see how God created it and when He was finished, “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good” Genesis 1:31.” Let us enjoy God’s creation this week.

Letters
Dear hockey fans
A group of us got together over coffee a while ago. Our conversation got around to our junior hockey team, the Neepawa Natives, and in particular, the support necessary to sustain it. We talked about how well the business section of the community has supported the team for the last 30 years, unwavering through thick and thin. We talked about the thousands of hours of volunteer time that goes into the daily operation of the club and fundraisers such as the Cash Lotto and Ag Expo. Not to mention the tremendous help and support given by the Yellowhead Centre over the last 30 years. It's all overwhelming when you think of it. Take one part of this support away and the team does not exist. Not only would this be a loss to our community as a whole, but an economic hit to our community centre as well. The question for our group became, what can we do as ordinary fans? One thing led to another and we decided to pool our resources in a way which benefits both. We are calling our group’s support a season ticket partnership. Every ticket you purchase means we donate $50 from the Fan Support group’s funds towards the team’s ice rental bill. We are excited and look forward to you joining with us in this endeavour. Our pledge is to be in lockstep with you all the way to 300 season tickets. Nothing would make us happier than supporting our team and our arena to the maximum offered. Yours in solidarity.

Slovenia
Central Europe’s best kept secret, Slovenia is a small country that boasts magnificently diverse geography. Slovenia has high Alpine peaks, Alpine lakes, rushing rivers, thick forests and a short, but serene, stretch of Mediterranean coastline to the southwest. Elsewhere, there are medieval monasteries, mighty fortresses and miles of ancient caves. It is bordered by Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Hungary to the northeast and Croatia to the southeast. For over 1,000 years, Slovenes lived under foreign rulers, including German, Austrian and Austro-Hungarian empires. Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia for most of the 20th century. In June 1991, Slovenia split from Yugoslavia and became an independent country. Slovenia is a republic with a multi-party system. The head of state is the president, who is elected by popular vote. The official language in Slovenia is Slovene, which is a branch of the Slavic languages. It is a country with spectacular, unspoilt scenery and friendly, welcoming hospitality. Slovenian cuisine is based on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and reveals a treasure of district diversity. Slovenes are fiercely proud of their culture. It has a long tradition of alpine dairy farming, resulting in superb cheeses. Breads are often made from buckwheat, barley or rye. Due to abundant forests, wild berries and mushrooms grace the tables, as well as fish from their rivers. Orchards of apples, pears, plums and peaches grow at the base of the mountains. Many dishes are made with cream. Horseradish with cream, a specialty of northeastern Slovenia, is served with beef dishes. Chicken paprika is a creamy sauce made with spicy, red paprika, served over noodles or dumplings. A festive delicacy is Mežerl. It is made of pig’s internal organs and entrails, bread, herbs, sour cream and eggs and baked. Pork is a mainstay for meat and often used in sausage making and stews. Slovenia is home to several odd food festivals, including the Cabbage Festival, the Salt Makers Festival and the Bean Day. Jota Jota is one of the most famous dishes of Slovenian cuisine and is served with homemade bread. You can use ham pieces instead of bacon in this recipe. 2 bay leaves 1/2 lb. of bacon salt and pepper to taste 2 cans white beans 3 Tbsp. olive oil or butter 1 jar sauerkraut 1 onion, chopped 8 cups water or 3 Tbsp. flour chicken broth fresh parsley to taste 1 lb. potatoes sour cream for garnish, 2 cloves garlic, minced if desired 1-2 tsp. caraway seeds Cook the bacon, dice and set aside. Drain and rinse the beans. Drain and rinse the sauerkraut for a less sharp flavour. In a large pot, add 8 cups water and the diced potatoes. Add the bacon, beans, sauerkraut, garlic, caraway seeds and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil, turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes. While soup is simmering, brown the onion in olive oil. Add the flour to the onion and cook for about 2 more minutes, stirring frequently. Add the onion and flour mixture to the stew. Add the fresh parsley. Stir and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving. Garnish with sour cream if desired. Dandelion Salad Dandelion/potato salad is popular. Dandelion shoots are considered a springtime delicacy. Our dandelions will soon be up. The first ones in the spring with large leaves are the best. Make sure you pick in an area that has not been sprayed and enjoy. 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced 1 medium bowlful of dandelion leaves (any 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 3 Tbsps. vegetable oil flat-leaved lettuce may be 2 Tbsps. red wine vinegar substituted) salt and pepper to taste 2 medium potatoes, peeled Several hours before serving, cut the potatoes into quarters and put them into a pot. Cover with water and a sprinkle of salt and cook the potatoes until they can be pierced with a fork. Drain and cool. Slice potatoes into smaller pieces. Place the washed dandelion leaves, potatoes, egg and garlic in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Pour over the dandelion mixture and toss. Serve.
Indie feature film showcases local talent
Submitted Neepawa Banner & Press
Later this month, local film writer, producer, director and editor, Eric Warwaruk, will bring his first no-budget indie feature film, A Scratching Sound to the Roxy Theatre, in Neepawa It took two years, almost no money, and a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but YerStory TransMedia and its founder, Warwaruk, recently premiered the film in Winnipeg. The noteworthy thing about the film? It was made with a volunteer cast of local actors and a couple of crew for props and special effects. Warwaruk wrote, produced, directed, operated the camera, set-up the lights, recorded audio, edited, wrote half the music and the score, coloured and did the audio master—all by himself. “It took a long time to do,” Warwaruk said, “but it was worth it. I think anyone who sees this film will appreciate how much time and effort and love we put into it.” Movies are perceived to be very expensive projects that only the largest Hollywood studios can afford. However, as technologies have evolved and made everything less expensive, the feasibility of doing a

movie all by one person is becoming slightly more possible, explained Warwaruk. “I’m a big believer in DIY filmmaking,” Warwaruk said. “I think it’s important to make a whole bunch of really cheap, bad short films, because it’s that experience that will make you learn and become better, and it’s more likely that someone will enjoy watching your stuff. Best of all, it won’t put you in debt forever.” A Scratching Sound, about a recovering opioid addict plagued with survivor’s guilt, who starts to see the ghost of his dead drug-addicted girlfriend, was shot in and around Winnipeg. The film took from Jan. 2017 until Feb. 2019 to complete. It is being billed a “dread-noir” or “horrornoir” movie, and is among a relatively recent trend of lo-fi movies being made for little
money with a focus on story and characters, targeted to a niche audience, such as a local audience. YerStory is a big proponent of locally-made content, and Warwaruk believes the culture and the technology
is changing enough to see people supporting local content. “I think Canadian and Manitoban viewers are ready to see and experience something new, rather than getting the same-old from Hollywood that has no connection to where we are here in Manitoba, and couldn’t care less.” He concludes, “If we want stories to feature our local community and represent our lives here—I want to show that we can make it, and support it, ourselves.” A Scratching Sound will be playing at the Roxy Theatre Apr. 11, at 7 p.m., and in other rural communities this summer.

1979: Neepawa and Carberry entertain Disney World
100 years ago, Friday, April 4, 1919 Newfoundland is isolated by an ice blockade. No Asiatic nation could be happy in a league of nations in which sharp racial discrimination is maintained, Baron Makino, head of the Japanese delegation to the peace conference, declared in a statement to the Associated Press on the position of Japan. “We are not too proud to fight,” the baron said, “but we are too proud to accept a place of admitted inferiority in dealing with one or more associate nations. We want nothing but simple justice.” 90 years ago, Friday, April 5, 1929 It took over 50 years and thousands of columns of news and editorial matter to get the steel to Fort Churchill. Another demonstration of the power of the press. 80 years ago, Tuesday, April 4, 1939 It is now possible for a person to remove half a person’s brain and for the patient to live healthy afterwards. 70 years ago, Thursday, April 7, 1949 Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Graham, pioneers of Neepawa and district, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, March 22 with a family dinner at their home in town when all members of the family were present… Mr. Graham was born in Molesworth, Ont., and came west to Manitoba with his family in 1877. They settled on a homestead east of Neepawa. Mrs. Graham, the former Jean C. Hunter, of Huron County, Ont., came to the Union district with her parents one year later. Their marriage took place in Neepawa on March 22, 1899, with the late Dr. S. C. Murray performing the ceremony. 60 years ago, Tuesday, April 7, 1959 Mrs. J. B. Fleming, Neepawa pioneer, celebrates her 95th birthday, Thursday, April 9. Born in Clinton,
50 years ago, Thursday, April 3, 1969 Eighty-f ive years ago exactly, on April 1, 1884, Mayor Jonathon J. Hamilton and his new town council decided they should hire a constable to police their domain and Robert McLean became the fledgling town’s first officer of the law... McLean was succeeded in 1887 by James Graham and was in turn replaced by another man by the name of McLean in 1890. N. A. McLean served as town constable from then until 1896 although he was relieved for some months in 1883 by James Hill… Alex Campbell succeeded the second McLean and held the job until about 1905 when Sam Barr took over and then H. J. Johnstone served for about a year, from 19081909. For the next seven years, the town was under the watchful eye of John D. McIntosh, who in turn was replaced in 1916 by William Gerrie. In March 1919, George Williams took over and held the office for more than 10 years. In July 1929, he was replaced by Fred McClain, who was destined to become Neepawa’s first Police Chief...
With the death of Chief McClain in 1951, Geoff Pasquill took over the Chief’s post, which he has held for the past 18 years… For several years the Neepawa Town Council has seriously considered the employment of RCMP for town policing but it was not until early this year that men became available and a special meeting was called of Town Council to decide whether or not to accept the offer. Thus, as of today, Geoff Pasquill handed over the care of the Town of Neepawa to Cpl. Bob Grainger of the RCMP, the 85-year-old Neepawa Town Police disappears... An old era ends; a new begins. 40 years ago, Thursday, April 5, 1979 Temperatures in the mid 70s and sunshine warmed the fingers of the 72 marching musicians from Neepawa and Carberry as they paraded down Main St. U.S.A. in Florida’s Disney World last week. The Westman Band participated in one of two daily parades through the Magic Kingdom... Approximately 50,000 to 60,000 people watched and applauded as the band carried the name of Manitoba and Canada to this southern state last week. Later, Neepawa music director Mark Fowke was presented a Certificate of Appreciation by Mickey Mouse on behalf of the Disney World music director. 30 years ago, Tuesday, April 4, 1989 Manitoba Highway minister Albert Driedger may have gone to Gladstone last Thursday to put the issue of

About 20 protestors opposing the government’s plan to implement parallel parking on Morris Ave. and Dennis St. confronted the minister before his meeting with Gladstone’s council and chamber of commerce... Driedger told Gladstone mayor Stephanie Karaz there will be further review before a final decision is reached. 20 years ago, Monday, April 5, 1999 The chairman of the Marquette Reg iona l Health Authority says the RHA has “appealed” to the province to bail it out of a $300,000 debt. “We made an appeal to Manitoba Health to look at our situation,” said Robert Buternowsky. Buternowsky said the $304,737 debt is directly related to underfunding, particularly of the RHA’s nursing costs.

Crocus Festival to go on without photo contest
By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press
A part of Arden’s Crocus Festival since 2007, the annual Crocus Photo Contest, has been cancelled for this year. The Crocus Festival was started in 2001 by the Lansdowne Heritage Resources and Tourism Committee (LHRTC), with the photo contest being added six years later, on the suggestion of John and Angie Dietz, who were on the committee at the time. The contest was sponsored by LHRTC and several other businesses over the years, offering hundreds of
dollars in prize money for the contest winners. The Dietzs have been organizing the photo contest since the beginning, but have now decided to step down. John Dietz explained, “We have wanted to pass along the leadership responsibility for this photo contest for a few years. No one seemed to be available. Finally, we realized we needed to cancel the event this past week, Mar. 18 to 23, at least for this year, and leave the contest future in the hands of the LHRTC.” Joan Popkes, co-chair of the LHRTC board, noted that this wasn’t something the
committee just wanted to drop. “It was cancelled so late that nobody could pick it up,” she said. There was sponsorship for the contest lined up for this year, but Dietz noted that they just didn’t have enough time to pull it all together. “We needed to launch the 2019 contest before April 1. But we could see that the days and weeks ahead had just too many demands on our time,” he said. Whether the cancellation
is going to be permanent, Dietz noted that he’s not sure, but it’s now up to the LHRTC. Popkes added that this is something that will be discussed by the committee to see if anyone else will be available to take over the project next year. Although it took a lot of work, Dietz emphasized that he and Angie both enjoyed the experience. As for the Crocus Festival itself, it is scheduled for May 4, with many other attractions and activities planned.

Water park creates new tourism draw for Minnedosa Continued from page 1 The Town of Minnedosa authorized access to the beach, while the federal Department of Oceans and Fisheries completed an environmental assessment, author izing the project. Final approval was granted by Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportat ion ( M IT ) for the business to place the structure in the water this June. The Banner & Press spoke with Champagne on Friday, Mar. 29 about the actual construction and installation of the water park. He stated that Splish Splash has been working very closely with Minnedosa in the design process to ensure what will be delivered to the community will suit their needs. It is now being custom built overseas and will be shipped over once completed. The current schedule for the f loating park to arrive has been set for just before the end of May. Champagne said that should give them enough time to erect the structure, and test it to ensure it passes all safety criteria. The current expectation is that the water park will be open daily during the summer, with regular hours of operation from June through to the
Labour Day weekend. Strict safety requirements would be required for its use, including the mandatory use of life jackets and the presence of qualified lifeguards. Champagne said the search for suitable lifeguards is underway and is hopeful interested applicant will contact the Town as soon as possible. Extra attention Since the announcement was f ir st made, Parrott has noticed an increase in the amount of attention the tourismoriented community has received on a national level.
“The biggest thing that has brought so far is exposure. Even with just having the one media release that has gone out, it has created a lot of buzz right across the province and across Canada actually,” stressed Parrott. “Tourism is very important for our economy and this is a fantastic way to draw people to town. Hopefully, visitors will make the most of everything Minnedosa has to offer while they’re here. Potentially staying here overnight or for a weekend or a week, either at the campground or at a bed and breakfast. So, through the summer,
I could expect to see a lot more traffic coming through for the purpose of going to the water park, but staying and taking
advantage of our other tourist options or our local shopping. Really, this is one way to bring people into town, but it’s going to
have a ripple effect on all the businesses and service providers in the community, as well.”

McIntosh/ACC Cougars win ACHA national championship
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
Neepawa’s Erica McIntosh and the Assiniboine Community College (ACC) Cougars have closed out their year in a memorable manner, claiming the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) National Championship. The team defeated the top-ranked Minot State Beavers by the score of 1-0, on Sunday, Mar. 31 in Frisco, Texas. This win likely has a little added meaning for ACC, as Minot State had previously beaten Assiniboine six times over the season, by a combined score of 29-7. ACC head coach Tony Bertone said considering all the work the team has put in throughout the entire season, this final result was something they truly earned. “I am extremely proud of these young ladies. All year, they worked hard in practice, to learn the systems and fine-tune
their play in all the games leading up to nationals. Once we got to Texas, I could see that they were all going to do their part and were totally committed to winning each game to get to the finals,” stated Bertone. As for McIntosh, who is in her first season with the Cougars as a defenceman, she said the entire experience down in Texas was tremendous. “To be here with the team, it’s been an amazing week. The team just seemed to build more confidence as the tournament went on,” stressed McIntosh. “[In the championship game], the team played the best that they could, taking advantage of any opportunities that came our way. It’s just been a great way to close out the year.” McIntosh added that she is very much looking forward to returning next season, as her younger sister Sadie will be joining the team. On Monday, Apr. 1, the

Notice Our family is very touched and thankful for all the compassion that has been shown to us by our friends, family & our small town communities. Losing mom/ grandma has left an ache in our hearts that is going to take some time to get used to, but our lives will move on and we will cherish her memory even more. Our family would like to thank everyone that brought food to the house, gifts, flower arrangements, cards, messages, donations made in mom's memory and especially all the kind words that were spoken of our mom. A very special thanks to Marg Allen & Shayne Henton for being there that morning. It wasn't an easy situation to be in but you two made it as calm as it could possibly be. The family would like to thank Pastor Jim & Hilde Vickers for the beautiful service, Carol Walker for playing the music, all mom's grandchildren for carrying her to her final resting place, Karen & Morley for making the eulogy so special & personable, Sherry for the tasty lunch and Clarke's Funeral Home for making the arrangements so professional and easy.

You and your health
advice for a healthier lifestyle
Does your back really ‘go out of place’? By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor
After 20 years of practice, I think I have almost heard everything when it comes to people describing how they injured their back and also what they think the diagnosis is. These include “I threw my back out”, “I have a rib out”, or “I slipped a disc”. There is no doubt that when someone says these things, that they have a legitimate problem, but often it is not what the person thinks. This week’s article will help uncover what really is going on behind these phrases: Meet the spine: The back is made up of the vertebrae, the discs between the vertebrae, the ligaments that hold everything together and then four different layers of muscles. Throw in a whole bunch of sensory nerves to help the brain to know what is going on and to contract the muscle and you have the wonderful structure of the spinal column. The nervous system con-
trols the movement of the spine by receiving sensory information from receptors in the muscles, ligaments and joints. The brain then relays back a signal to contract the muscles, which causes either movement or stabilization. When you combine millions of signals from the muscles and joints, and then a response back to them from the brain, you have a movement pattern. These movement patterns allow us to do everything from walking to hitting a baseball. The injury response Low back pain will affect eight out of 10 Canadians at some time in their lives. Low back injuries can occur slowly over time, such as prolonged sitting, or by a trauma, such as a slip and fall. The small, first two layers, of muscles of the back can be injured when excess force is placed on them. This can occur when the larger muscles of the core do not support the load placed on them and extra force is transmitted into the deeper muscles. This

is common when the back muscles are fatigued and then a heavier lift or an unexpected movement causes the smaller muscles to fail. Another mechanism is if the muscles of the spine can’t handle the force put on them and the spinal joints take the brunt of the trauma, causing a sprained joint. Again, in this case, the body will naturally tighten up around the area to protect that joint. Often, a short term inflammatory response also occurs, causing swelling, pain and more muscle guarding. Is my back out of place? When the back is injured, the body always wants to protect itself and does this by shutting down movement in the injured area. This allows the body to save any further damage to injured tissue and to prevent injury to the surrounding nervous system. Protective muscle spasms cause the joints to lose movement and then the connective tissues around the joint also lose flexibility,
causing joint stiffness and pain. The results of this is that the body recruits other muscles to achieve the movement needed. This change in muscle recruitment can cause a change in the position of the pelvis, often resulting in a higher side and a change in leg lengths. It very much feels like your back is out when you are walking like an “S” and you have a short leg, but it would be more accurate to say my back is “locked up” rather than “out”. The body will also unconsciously offload injured joints and discs by causing you to bend out of your normal form. Rib pain in the mid back also feels like the rib is sticking up and out of place. This is because the muscles around the rib head, the part that attaches onto the spine, are inflamed and swollen. When the rib is aggravating the exiting spinal nerve, it can cause a deep breath to be painful and for you to compensate with this spasm. What do you do? When your body is re-

this level as well as directly affects the tight muscles of the spine. The smaller muscles of the spine relax in tone when they are quickly stretched with an adjustment. Overall, the adjustment frees up the joint and muscles rather than “putting it back into place”. Activity Fact: Low back pain is the leading cause of lost work days and activity limitation (WHO), and is responsible for about 40 per cent of missed work days.

sponding to injury by tightening up, the best thing to do is to manage the inflammation and then work on getting the area moving. Research shows that range of motion exercises and stretches, along with short term use of anti-inflammatory medications help with acute spinal pain. Chiropractic care is a great modality for getting joints moving and helping muscles relax. An adjustment to the spine has a direct effect on soft tissues by stretching the ligaments and joint capsules. This frees up restrictions at
