Canada’s largest conservation agreement signed

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner Hundreds of years ago, buffalo grazed the area known as Big Grass Marsh. Now, with the signing of Canada’s largest conservation agreement, the land will remain in its natural state for now and into the future. The agreements were actually signed last winter, however the celebration at the site was held on Thursday, among the chatter of birds in the Big Grass Game Bird Refuge. About 40 people celebrated the culmination of two and a half years of work and the permanent protection of 43,500 acres of municipal land in the Big Grass Marsh area. The land covered by the Big Grass Marsh Conservation Agreement, located between Plumas and Langruth, includes marshland as well as land that is operated as a community pasture, providing grazing for area cattle. The conservation agreement allows the land to be grazed and managed as it is currently, but keeps it in permanent cover. This means that it can never be broken up and cultivated. “It’s nice to see that land left” The project was first brought forward close to three years ago by Richard Callandar, an RM of Lakeview councillor and rider at the Big Grass Grazer Co-op. He had heard about the conservation agreements in place to protect the Langford Community Pasture, south of Neepawa, and hoped that Big Grass could be protected in a similar way. Callander grew up in the area and has worked at the pasture, on and off, for 40 years. With only one, four mile road in the 43 sections that make up the area, Callander said, “It’s nice to see that land left.” Callander brought the idea to council and while some councillors were initially uncertain, they all came on board pretty quickly. He said, “The next meeting, they

The land covered includes the Game Bird Refuge. said, ‘You know, this is a good thing.’” Callander added, “Quite a few of them [councillors] are cattlemen and how better to preserve nature. Because we don’t have buffalo any more, we can use cattle.”

Callendar added that while he initially brought the idea forward, “I really did nothing but come up with the idea, other people did all the work… Everyone [at the ceremony] had a small part in making it happen.” Continued on page 8

Seniors housing open house set for June 30 By Ken Waddell The Neepawa Banner Last fall, Zen Development held an open house at the former NeepawaGladstone Co-op grocery store to introduce their proposed 55Plus seniors housing project. The response was tremendous so the group went back to the drawing board to firm up their plans. Their next presentation to the public is on June 30 at the Yellowhead Centre at 7 p.m. John Lavich, along with James and Carla Janzen, will be setting out their plans for a 24 unit seniors complex. The building will be attached to the old Co-op store on Mountain Avenue in downtown Neepawa. After receiving input from the public last year, the group will be presenting options for 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. The project calls for four levels with three floors of suites with eight suites per floor. The main floor will be for indoor parking and storage spaces. Presented as 55Plus housing, the project is

Neepawa Banner Perspective

Celebrate the status quo

Tundra

by Chad Carpenter

An old idea about to be re-visited Having people invest in much needed projects and facilities has been going on forever.

here has been some very preliminary discussion about Social Impact Bonds. The PC party of Manitoba, under the leadership of Brian Pallister, is stating that socially progressive projects should be financed by way of private money through Social Impact Bonds. Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)are an idea that has started to emerge in Great Britain and apparently one project has developed in Saskatchewan. It’s a way of allowing private money to flow into projects and programs that meet a social need within the province. When you think about it, the idea is hardly new and it has worked for many decades in Manitoba, in fact it has worked since the inception of Manitoba. Having people invest in much needed projects and facilities has been going on forever. Information taken right from their web sites shows there are very major examples in Manitoba. “St. Boniface Hospital has been providing leadership in health care on behalf of Manitobans since it was first established by the Grey Nuns in 1871.” “The Grey Nuns of Manitoba founded Ste. Rose General Hospital in 1939. Today, it is a 26 bed fully accredited rural teaching and acute care health centre. The hospital provides in-patient care in four specific areas: general medicine, pediatrics, detox and palliative care. Services are provided under contract with the Parkland Regional Health Authority.” “Concordia Hospital was started in 1928 by a group of Mennonites who had immigrated

Ken Waddell to Canada from Russia. Seeing the need for health care in the growing immigrant community they started their first project, which was a four bed maternity hospital. This project would grow to become the present Concordia organization, which includes Concordia Hospital and Concordia Place. The blessing they had received by being able to immigrate to Canada motivated them.” In more recent times, the Moray Street bridge in Winnipeg was built under a partnership of government and private money. The NDP doesn’t like Social Impact Bonds and have stated so emphatically. They see them as an intrusion by private dollars into areas that they think should be held solely by government. The NDP don’t want any private investment in social projects. But they are hypocrites as they are quite willing to use all the projects that have been privately funded, not the least of which being the three outlined above. They are more than willing to have the government funded capital projects bolstered by people donating millions upon millions of dollars to the hospital foundations and the local community foundations. The NDP also have no qualms about

having groups and individuals finance everything from school equipment, to school lunches, to sports programs. It boils down to the fact that they are hide bound to protect union jobs, no matter how badly quality or supply of services is affected. Just look at what government control has given us. The stadium in Winnipeg cost twice as much as projected and it has serious design and construction flaws. The care home at Neepawa has had construction and design problems, it cost twice as much as projected and only provides 100 beds instead of the promised 120. The idea of private money and private sector expertise being able to handle the capital and operational requirements of socially progressive projects and services has a long history in Manitoba. Rather than seeing SIBs as a new idea to be scorned, we should see them as a tried and true method of providing facilities and programs. The NDP are out of touch with reality and the sooner they change or leave, the better off we will be in Manitoba. They aren’t showing any signs of changing so having them leave is our only hope for getting on with much needed projects and programs.

ast week, we celebrated something momentous. It happened right in our own backyard and it will have a lasting impact on our future. Last Thursday, at the edge of the Big Grass Marsh, between Plumas and Langruth, a ceremony was held to mark the signing of Canada's largest conservation agreement. We celebrated the perpetual maintenance of the status quo. With this agreement, 43,000 acres of grazing and habitat for waterfowl and wildlife MY will be kept PERSPECTIVE in permanent cover and protected from being drained or broken up. ate Activities curackman tkinson rently taking place, such as cattle grazing, brush control and fencing, will continue under the conservation agreement. The process began about two and a half years ago when an RM of Lakeview councillor approached council about protecting the municipally owned land within the Big Grass Grazers Co-op community pasture. Recognizing the importance of the area, council was quick to jump on board and approached Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation about a conservation agreement. Bordering Lakeview’s pasture land is land owned by the RM of Westbourne, which is also used as a community pasture. Lakeview councillors began talking to councillors in the neighbouring RM about their agreement, which was then brought forward to Westbourne council. Westbourne was also supportive of the idea and began the process of protecting their pasture land, as well as some adjacent hay land. The final step saw Lakeview protect their remaining land within the Game Bird Refuge. In total, the protected land is an almost complete block covering 43 sections. Apart from Highway 265, there is only one, four mile road. The land isn't high quality farm land but it serves a very important role. Former RM of Lakeview reeve Phillip Thordarson said that it was important to his council that this land be protected, recognized and appreciated for what it is. At a time when we are increasingly concerned about flooding and water quality, keeping this marshland intact is extremely important. Whitemud Watershed Conservation District manager Chris Reynolds called it the region's kidney– about one-third of the watershed drains through it. The marsh allows runoff to be held, which can prevent downstream flooding, and also filters the water as it passes through. The area also serves as important habitat for waterfowl and wildlife. During the ceremony, speakers had to raise their voices to be heard over the chatter of the birds that call the marsh home. The event also served as an opportunity to praise the province’s cattle producers. At at time when many modern farming practices require large tracts of clear, flat land, Manitoba’s cattle producers have much of the provinces wildlife habitat within their pastures. Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation’s CEO Tim Sopuck touched on this partnership, which could seem odd to the outsider, saying that without cattle producers, habitat would be pretty hard to maintain. In our region, we should be proud; this is our second largescale conservation agreement. In 2010, the municipally owned land in the Langford Community Pasture was protected by a conservation agreement. In it’s natural state, our province’s land provides valuable services, such as water retention, and provides needed habitat. The problem is that keeping it in such a state is incompatible with many of today’s farming operations. However, not every quarter of land is suitable for growing wheat and canola. Recognizing that different land has different roles, it’s nice to see the environmental benefits of certain landscapes recognized and protected. In this case, I am more than happy to celebrate the status quo.

JUNE 26, 2015

We’ve taken step one—now what?

s I write these words, the media frenzy concerning the brutal murder of nine members of a Charleston, South Carolina church is beginning to subside. But the question remains: “How could a 21 year old man become so filled with hate that he would do what he now stands accused of, and has allegedly confessed to doing?” My heart goes out to the victims’ families. Those who died that night were loving and caring people who had come together to pray for their church and community. They did not deserve to die such a horrible death. But they did—and now their families are left to grieve and find ways to heal. My heart also goes out to the parents of the young man accused of this crime. I can’t even begin to imagine how they must be feeling right now. I highly doubt that they share the extreme views attributed to their son. But there will be some in the United States who will

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein blame the parents for what their son became—and these parents will become victims of this tragedy as well. The Charleston shootings (and other similar acts) make us wonder if there is any hope that the people of earth can eliminate the prejudice, racism and hate that spawns these criminal acts. A Roman Catholic bishop from a small Central American country was recently asked if he had any hope that his country could overcome the social, political and economic challenges it faces. His answer—“I am not a person of hope. I am a person of faith. I believe in God and in his ability to bring us through our crisis times.” I could not agree more. In recent years, we have made some progress in

dealing with similar issues in Canada. Major church denominations have issued apologies and offered reparations to those who suffered harm and indignity in residential schools. So has the Canadian government. Under the leadership of Justice Brian Sinclair, Canada established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, giving these victims the opportunity to share their stories, hear responses and lay a base for reconciliation. It’s taken years of activism, lobbying and law suits to get us to this point in our journey to health and wholeness. But we have only taken step one on a path that will, by God’s grace and with his help end prejudice, racism and hate once and for all. So where do we go from

here? Governments and religious leaders can only do so much. The biggest part of reconciliation is up to you and me. No laws, no matter how strict they may be, will end racism, prejudice and hate. The law can identify those who commit hate crimes and can ensure that they are punished appropriately. But the law has no power to eliminate the attitudes that produce racist comments and that result in hate crimes. There is, however, one power that is strong enough to eliminate hate— and that is the power of love. But not just any love. The love of which I speak is a gift from God. It is given to those who ask for it. And when fully active in us, that love gives us the ability to see everyone we meet as a person created in God’s image and as such. a person of great value with unlimited potential and worthy of dignity and respect—and to treat them accordingly. I hope and pray that this love will be seen in me and in all who read these words.

deliberately chose to travel down highway 16. I wanted to note the progress on the construction and I had all the time in my world. Three pilot vehicles later. The first smile came when I started counting the blue or tan portable toilets dotted the roadside. As many as there used to be grain elevators! Not nearly as impressive but just as necessary. The second smile came more slowly and was more contemplative. This isn’t the first time that I have been without a partner. I served my time as a single parent years ago. Then, any piece of quiet was a gift to cherished and prolonged. That silent time too often was the last hour of a busy day, and that is were my tendency to be a night owl took seed and flourished.

Back in the Book of Acts, the disciple Peter was asked to go and share the good news of the gospel of the risen Christ with the wider world. He struggled with the assignment, for many of their customs and foods were abhorrent to his early years teaching.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin hen I am writing this article my mind is tired and dull. It is difficult to concentrate and my patience is wearing thin. We all go through those periods I think.

My wondering asked me what things would be in a sheet that the Divine would challenge me to rethink my attitude about. I have some ideas for me, but there could be as many correct answers as there are questioners. Mundane thoughts: do I really need winter tires this year? Should I bring clothing for warm weather or cool when I go camping? Or to be safe some of both? Then my thoughts drifted to the people that have influenced me. I was watch-

ing them when they had no idea they were setting a high standard for me to follow. And it humbled me to think that perhaps there is someone watching me. It is almost 30 years ago that the individual took the high road in a relationship. I witnessed the courage with that person faced life and the dignity with which life was conducted. This past month I was able to, in a very small way, express appreciation for the inspiration and guidance that the individual had offered. That smile lingered for a distance. At times the radio was on, at times I tired of the noise, and travelled in the silence of my thoughts. And I gave thanks for the path that I have travelled and the friends that I have made. And it looked like going to Portage for parts!

and over again. I am also amazed that very often we are at home when we really need to be at home. They are these little blessings that become so important to help us grow in our faith. We need to be reminded on a daily basis that God is in control and nothing will happen without Him knowing about it. All we need to do is trust Him. Again this Psalm says it so clearly “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:5).

Letters End of an Era Since 1908 the voice of Manitoba Government Telephones/Manitoa Telephone System was the operator. Just about every community, large or small, had an office with a group of people working as operators — the voice of MTS — connecting customers to family, friends, businesses and emergency personnel. The story of the operator started in the late 1800s. Did you know boys were the first operators? They had been telegraph operators so it was assumed they would be best for the position of voice operators. It didn’t work out very well as they proved to be rude and abusive to the customers, and very undisciplined. Ladies worked out much better as they were more soft spoken and calm. The first operator in Manitoba was Ida Coates, who was said to have a voice with a smile. Over the last 100-plus years that “voice with a smile” was heard in almost every community in Manitoba. The first operators were the information links in the community; deaths, births, weather, sport scores and any important news could be obtained by cranking the phone. Operators were very strictly monitored, worked long hours and when they married, they had to give up their positions. A strict dress code was followed, which was modified over the years, but even in the 1960s, operators had to wear a dress, no pants, no matter what hours they worked or what the weather conditions were. When pants were allowed in the 1970s, it had to be a suit with the jacket a certain length. Through all of this, many young women worked as operators and enjoyed the interaction with people from all walks of life and in many different parts of our world. Whatever was happening in the community, the operator was often the first contact. Many of these former operators still live in small rural communities across Manitoba — maybe your grandmothers, an aunt, or the neighbour down the street. If you asked them what it was like to be an operator, I am sure you will hear a lot of very interesting stories. Stories of being the one to put through calls which told of the death of a loved one during the war, calling volunteer firemen out to a house, barn or business fire. Stories of friendship built with co-workers and of dealing with all kinds of people and being respectful of all customers, even if they did not accord the same to you. Whatever happened to that friendly voice on the other end of your phone when you turned the crank or dialed 0? Where did the “voice with a smile” go? Well, as of January 2015, the MTS operator became extinct, a victim of the technological revolution. Computers now look up phone numbers or dial emergency personnel — the personal touch is gone. To celebrate the end of an era, a reunion of operators from the Western, Parkland and Northern regions of Manitoba is being planned for Sept. 19 in Brandon. Region monikers are telephone lingo and basically refer to everywhere west of Portage to the Saskatchewan border and from the US border north to Churchill. The reunion committee would like to contact as many former operators as possible to invite them to come celebrate their contributions to MTS and Manitoba. For further information, please contact Kathy at 204-726-4728/sebastianmacfarlane@yahoo. ca or Pat at 204-726-4901/eastgate@mymts.net. If you know of someone who once worked as an MTS operator in any of these regions, please pass on this invitation.

‘It’s not about making any changes, it’s about keeping it the same’ Continued from page 1 The RM of Lakeview approached Manitoba Habitat Heritage Conservation Corporation about protecting their municipal land within the Big Grass pasture. Wes Pankratz, a habitat conservation specialist with Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation, explains that this was phase one. This initial agreement with Lakeview covers 112 quarter sections, or 17,280 acres. Phillip Thordarson, who was reeve of the RM of Lakeview and currently sits as a councillor for the Municipality of Westlake-Gladstone, was very pleased to see the conservation agreement come to be. He said that the Lakeview council was supportive of the idea, “They know what the land is like and they appreciate it for what it is.” He added that with amalgamation, it became increasingly important to the council of the small municipality that the land be protected. He said, “The decision to sign was strongly supported by Lakeview council who were concerned that a future council might not value these lands in their natural state and would allow them to be sold off and broken up. We wanted to keep the land as it is.” Pankratz explained that they were invited to a Lakeview council meeting to answer questions about what a conservation agreement would mean. “They basically wanted to make sure that the pasture was protected from being developed or used for something else. They wanted to make sure it was going to

stay in permanent cover. And that’s what our agreement was. It’s not about making any changes, it’s about keeping it the same,” he said. He explained that the municipality wanted to make sure that they could still do activities such as manage fence lines and control bush. Once the council passed a resolution in support of the conservation agreement, the next step was to identify the ownership and legal description of all the parcels of land. Then, a caveat was registered with Land Titles on each of those parcels. The agreements stay with the land, regardless of ownership. Lakeview councillors then began talking with councillors in the neighbouring municipality of Westbourne and phase two saw the inclusion of Westbourne’s municipally owned land in the area. Westbourne’s conservation agreement covers 99 sections, or 15,800 acres, of pasture as well as adjacent hay and marshland. David Single, who was the reeve of the RM of Westbourne and is now the mayor of the Municipality of Westlake Gladstone explained, “We wanted to see this land kept as is.” He said that at their public meetings, they found nobody who thought it was a bad idea. “This marsh has ecological benefits, wildlife habitat benefits, benefits to the farmers and tourism benefits. I’m happy to say the RM of Westbourne is pleased to be a part of it,” said Single. With the work already having been done in Lake-

view, Pankratz said that Westbourne councillors were quick to support the project in their municipality. “They were pretty educated about what this was about. We signed [the agreement] within months,” said Pankratz. The final phase saw Lakeview protect the remainder of their land within the Game Bird Refuge. In total, the conservation agreements form a block of 43,000 acres, called the Big Grass Marsh Conservation Agreement. Once in a lifetime The size of the agreement wasn’t lost on MHHC chief executive officer Tim Sopuck. “In almost three and a half decades in conservation, I know I’ve never been involved in something this big. I can’t expect I’ll have this kind of opportunity again,” he said. He continued, “Most of the time if we do an easement that’s 99 acres or 112 acres, that’s an accomplishment. If you scale it up, you start to get a sense of why this area is so special.” Sopuck explained that they often work with those in the livestock industry. He said, “We have a particular affinity for the grazing livestock industry because that’s where most of the habitat is residing in agro-Manitoba. Without cattle producers, [habitat would be] pretty hard to maintain.” The Whitemud Watershed Conservation District helped cover the costs, including staff time and title searches, associated with making the conservation agreements a reality.

WWCD manager Chris Reynolds said that for a long time, government funding was not available for projects within the WWCD area so the board began setting money aside in a reserve fund to be used specifically for conservation agreements. He added that they have a longstanding partnership with MHHC. The Big Grass Marsh area is of particular importance within the watershed– from the Riding Mountain escarpment, through Eden and Arden, all of the water drains through the marsh. A healthy marsh provides flooding protection for those downstream, improved water quality and provides a home for wildlife and waterfowl. Reynolds explained, “This is the biggest marsh in the watershed, it’s basically the kidney that we have for the watershed. We have one third of the whole area draining through this marsh, it’s a huge area.” Reynolds continued, “I didn’t think in my time here I would ever have seen the Big Grass Marsh actually be protected permanently. It’s

absolutely fantastic that this is taking place.” John Whitaker, MHHC board chair and an Erickson area producer, praised the municipalities, saying, “The municipalities showed really strong leadership here.” He continued, “These guys are really progressive, they’re looking at the future economic and social health of their municipality. They get it, this has to come from a diverse landscape. A diverse economy is based on a diverse landscape.” In addition to the habitat benefits, he praised the

municipality’s desire to secure the future of the community pasture as a place for cattle to graze and a cost effective way for young producers to enter into the industry. To see the protection of the land become a reality, Callander said that it felt good, adding that he didn’t realize it was the largest conservation agreement in Canada. “I just think that it was a very good thing and we’re fortunate to have somebody as a tool to use in this province to make it go forward,” he added.

Former NACI athlete Neepawa Natives, MJHL succeeding at U of M websites gets makeover By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Daniel Heschuk (foreground) is starting to separate from the pack when it comes to cross country and track and field running By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner A former member of the Neepawa and Area Collegiate track and field team is starting to make his mark on the sport. Daniel Heschuk, who is part of the University of Manitoba Bison’s Cross Country and Track and Field team, has qualified for the Western Canada Summer Games. The 19-year-old would earn his spot on the provincial squad by running a new personal best in the 5000 metre on Wednesday, June 17. Heschuk would then cap off the week by finishing third overall in the half marathon at the Manitoba Marathon on Sunday, June 21 in Winnipeg. He completed the event with a time of 1 hour, 12 minutes and 31.4 seconds. After competing for the NACI track team for four years, Heschuk moved on to the University of Manitoba in 2014. He said running at the post-secondary level has been a tremendous opportunity and that this recent success has been a culmination of the past years’ effort. “It’s just been incredible being a part of the U of M team and challenging myself against these high calibre athletes. I’ve been able to make improvements to my times for all my specialities,” said Heschuk. “As for the 5000 [metre event], it was an event I have not really focused on before, so to succeed like this and make it to the Western Canada Summer Games

is fantastic.” Daniel’s former coach at NACI, Bryce Koscielny said that it’s great to see the amount of success Heschuk has been able to recently achieve. “It’s unbelievable to see his progress. Daniel has really improved his conditioning and technique and it’s really coming through right now,” said Koscielny. “He always trained hard when he was here in Neepawa running for the Tigers and improved year over year. Now at the University of Manitoba, he’s really coming into his own.” The Western Canada Summer Games will take place in August in Wood Buffalo, Alberta. Heschuk said his preparations for that competition are already well underway. “With the training for the games, my coach and I are tweaking things a little bit. It’s important to make those types of adjustments because I’m still relatively new to running the 5000 metre event. When it comes to competitive running, a longer distance takes a completely different mindset than other events,” noted Heschuk. “I think it’s going to be very exciting to be able to compete against some of the best athletes from across western Canada at these games. When you’re up against that type of talent, you really have to bring the best version of yourself to it. Win or lose, I’m really am looking forward to hitting a new standard.”

The website for the Neepawa Natives has a brand new look. The Manitoba Junior Hockey League club launched the revamped page on Monday, June 22. Neepawa Natives director of marketing Kaiten Critchlow said this change has been in the works for quite some time. “It’s something that the MJHL and our team have been looking at for about a year now,” said Critchlow. “The plan was for the league’s site to change and for each member club to do the same with its own websites over the next few weeks. We’re the first team to go ahead and unveil the new look.”

The changes include a cleaner look on the home page, as well as much easier to navigate interactive features. More video capability has also been implemented into the siteto allow for more game highlights to be potentially available online. Critchlow noted that the website is increasingly becoming a very important part of team branding, as well as being a big part of the player recruitment process. He added that when a young player is interested in playing for a team, one of the first things they’re going to do is check out the club’s home page and that is their first impression on them.” The arrival of the team website coincides with the arrival of a new league page. MJHL commissioner Kim Davis said the league

is continually evaluating all aspects of its operation, which also includes the website. “The new look has been in the research and development stage for several months. A tremendous amount of work went on behind the scenes to get us where we are today, said Davis. “We’re confident our fans will find the new website eye pleasing, easy to navigate and as always informative.” It’s expected that all ten of the other member clubs in the MJHL will be changing the design of their websites and sporting the new look within the next few weeks. As for the Neepawa Natives’ newly redesigned website, it can be seen at www.neepawanatives. com.

NEEPAWA BANNER 13

MJHL regular season schedule announced By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The Manitoba Junior Hockey League has unveiled its 2015-2016 regular season schedule. It will begin on Friday, Sept. 25 with 10 of 11 teams in action. The defending MJHL and RBC Cup champions Portage Terriers will open their regular season in Virden against the Oil Capitals, while the Neepawa Natives will begin the season on the road in Dauphin. The first home game for Neepawa will be on the following night, as the Kings will journey to the Yellowhead Centre for a 7:30 pm matchup. For the second straight year, teams will play a balanced schedule with three games at home and three games on the road against each opponent. The annual MJHL Showcase at the MTS Iceplex in Winnipeg will also return this year. Neepawa plays two games, first against the Virden Oil Capitals on Friday, Oct. 2 at 3:00 pm, and then a matchup with the Winkler Flyers on Saturday, Oct. 3 also scheduled for 3:00 pm. As for the schedule as a whole, Neepawa Natives general manager Myles Cathcart said they’re pleased with how it’s been organized. “It’s very good for [the Natives organization]. There is a fair number of weekend games. I believe about 20 of our 30 home dates are on the weekend. There are also a few more Saturday night contests. We’re pleased with that as we didn’t want as many Sunday night games as we’ve had in the past,” said Cathcart. “The travel schedule for road games

Obituary GLADYS MAY (DAVIDSON) McLAUGHLIN May 26, 1920 to October 4, 2014 Hers was a life well lived. Gladys (Gladie) brought much joy into the lives of those who knew her. She was born in Neepawa, to George and Mary Davidson, and was the youngest of seven children. She loved to sing, and was a member of the Sweet Adelines. Performing in plays and skits was also a joy for her. She was a keen curler. Gladie was a lifelong member of the United Church where she was an active participant, starting with the CGIT as a young girl and moving on to the WA and UCW as an adult. In 1941 this town girl married Bob McLaughlin and quickly adapted to farm life and motherhood. She was a role model to many. At the age of fifty-two, Gladie studied nursing and afterwards worked as an LPN at East View Lodge in Neepawa until her retirement. Some of her younger colleagues, whom she mentored, were among her caregivers at Country Meadows. She was a cancer survivor and served as a mentor to others facing colon cancer. Gladie enjoyed travelling, caring for grandchildren and having fun. She and Bob had many memorable vacations with their family. She moved to Elks Manor in 2002 and continued her helping ways there - reading aloud to others who had limited vision. She and her partner in crime, Velma, added lots of enjoyment to the Hallowe'en festivities there. Gladie continued to enjoy life when she moved to Country Meadows, which seemed to her like a lovely resort. She enjoyed the activities there and she and Hazel could lead the singsongs, remembering all the words to the songs. Her family is very thankful for the care and compassion she received while she lived at Country Meadows. She loved ice cream and chocolate and one of her final meals was an ice cream sundae. To know Gladie was to love her. She had a long and wonderful life. In November of 2001, Gladie was predeceased by her loving husband of 60 years, Bob. She is survived by her daughter, Arleigh Kalinowski, son-in-law Dave, her granddaughter Krista Kalinowski (Rob Akerland), great-granddaughter, Violet, her grandson, David Kalinowski, and by her son, George McLaughlin, daughterin-law Pat, her granddaughter Claire McLaughlin (Noah Klein), great-granddaughter, Brienne, her granddaughter, Sheryl McLaughlin (Neil Lensink) and her grandson, Grant McLaughlin. A memorial service will be held on July 2, 2015 at the Neepawa United Church, at 2:00 p.m. with Kristin Wood and Joanne Kury officiating. A private interment will occur before the service. Donations may be made to the Country Meadows Activities Fund, Box 1240, Neepawa, Manitoba, R0J 1H0. White’s Funeral Home, Neepawa, is in charge of arrangements.

Julia Suzanne Martens

(July 25, 1986 - May 17, 2015) It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Julia Suzanne Martens on Sunday, May 17, 2015. Left to mourn her passing and miss her greatly are her partner Cheyne, her sister Pamela, and brother David (Molly), her grandparents (John and Joan Hemmerling) as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and friends. She was predeceased by her mother, Caroline Lorraine Martens (nee Hemmerling), in 2012. Julia was the sunshine of our lives. She touched everyone’s life in one way or another with her beautiful spirit, joyful personality, and positive attitude. She had a love for family and was always happy to get together to visit, play games, and celebrate. She enjoyed family barbecues, Sunday afternoon football parties, camping, cheering from the sidelines at school soccer games, and frequent “Dinner and a movie” nights with Auntie Liz. When diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in February 2011, she faced it with courage and strength. Through the many treatments and procedures, through multiple hair losses and hospitalizations, Julia kept a positive attitude. Her passing was sudden and unexpected but she died surrounded by family who loved her dearly. In lieu of flowers, donations in Julia’s honor can be made to CancerCare Manitoba or sponsor Team Remission Possible in the Light The Night walk being held September 26, 2015. In accordance with Julia’s wishes, a private family service has taken place at the Birnie cemetery where her ashes are buried alongside her mom. May Caroline and Julia both rest in peace.

Shirley Edith Olson Peacefully and unexpectedly with her family by her side Shirley Edith Olson passed away on June 12, 2015 at Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg. Shirley was born December 25, 1935 with her twin Fern, to John & Edith Stinson. Tragically their mother passed away the day after. Shirley & Fern were raised in the Tupper District by Aunts Edna & Dora until 15 when they moved back home with their Dad & older brother Graham. It wasn't long after that Lawrence came into her life and they were married October 1955. Together they raised 3 children Dean, Gayle & Heather on the family farm in the Golden Stream District. Mom was a homemaker and stay at home mom who took pride in a spotless house. She was famous for her homemade bread, potato salad & tarts. While Dad worked on road construction away from home mom kept everything running smoothly at the farm whether it was sewing clothes, tending her garden or milking cows. There were always cinnamon buns hot out of the oven after school. During the summer months mom, with kids in tow would join Dad at the various construction camps where she made many lasting friendships. In later years dad stayed home to farm with mom by his side and in the fall mom would take her turn driving the combine. Those days there were no cabs and she was right at home helping. He & mom enjoyed travelling to Hawaii, Vegas, Florida & many casino trips with friends. Mom enjoyed camping and loved when her children & grandchildren could join them. Curling, golfing, bowling, playing cards and VLT's were some of her favourite pastimes. She enjoyed watching curling & the Blue Jays on TV the last few years as well as her grandchildren's ball & curling games when she could. Mom & Dad have enjoyed town life since their move into Gladstone in 2005 whether it was enjoying cards at the Senior’s Centre or taking in the meat draw at the legion. Family was important to mom and she looked forward to getting together for holidays and Sunday gatherings. Mom’s grandchildren and great grandchildren were special to her and she had a connection with each of them. Mom was a caring and compassionate person and a friend to all. Mom and Dad were lifelong soul mates looking after each other throughout their life. They would have Celebrated 60 years of marriage this fall. Shirley was predeceased by her son Dean; brother Graham and sister-in-law Simone; brothers-in-law Almer, Jock and Verne and sisters-in-law Linda and Nellie.

The solid pitching effort by Moxham was aided greatly at the plate by the Farmers’ roster. The team generated 13 hits and added six stolen bases in support. Notable individual efforts included Garett Rempel going 2-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBIs and a run. Matt Sneesby also went 2-for-4 on the evening, driving in one run. The Farmers would then inch their way to within a single game of top spot in the Manitoba Senior Baseball League standings on Tuesday, June. 24, after a 5-2 victory over the Brandon Cloverleafs. Travis Jean helped to lead the way for Neepawa with three hits including a pair of doubles. He also drove in a pair of runs. Bryce Stevenson and Bryan White added the Neepawa’s offensive output with two hits and an RBI each. Gregg Hockin, Garett Rempel and Rafael Pena combined to gave up just five hits over the full nine innings on the mound for the Farmers. The victory improved Neepawa’s regular season record to 7-and-5 on the season while the Cloverleafs have lost six in a row and 11 of their 12 games this season. Currently in the MSBL standings, the Oak River Dodgers and Brandon Marlins are tied for first place with identical 8-4 records, while the Farmers are one game back at 7-5. The next home game for Neepawa will be on Sunday, June. 28, against Oak River.

Getting more, with less pollutants

JUNE 26, 2015

PERFORMANCE FOR THE REAL WORLD.

Continued from page 19 This figure is stunning, and what it means is you can now simultaneously tow your house and cottage down the highway fast enough to get a speeding ticket. A 1994 Dodge Cummins had 175 hp and 420 lb. ft. of torque, the 2016 will have 385 hp and 900 lb. ft of torque. That’s more than twice as much You can now twist and power – which can’t come simultaneously for free. If you want more power, there’s tow your house going to have to be a and cottage down trade off in fuel economy. It’s no wonder the highway fast the fuel economy has enough to get a gone down so much!
