Enrolments steady, growing as students head back to class

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner On Wednesday, Sept.

9, kids across the region started their new classes for the 2015-2016 school year. With the new year comes new students, new teachers and new developments within the schools and divisions in the area.

In Neepawa, the enrolments for both Neepawa Area Collegiate (NACI) and Hazel M. Kellington School (HMK) are expected to increase by about 10 each. There are about 70 new kindergarten students joining HMK and about 86 students from Grade 5 that will be going over to NACI. Jason Young, the superintendent of Beautiful Plains School Division (BPSD) says they anticipate more growth for at least the next two years and he expects to see around 20 more students during this school year.

Because of the continued increase in numbers over the past few years, NACI will be adding another portable classroom for a fourth Grade 6 class this year. They have also added an office space to the middle years resource room. Young says BPSD is continuing to request additional space from the Public Schools Finance Board.

They have submitted a proposal for an addition to NACI that would include eight more classrooms and another gymnasium.

Along with adding new space, they have made some improvements to current spaces, such as a new dust collector and upgraded ductwork in the NACI woods shop.

They have welcomed 17

As of the first day of school, nearly 440 students will be attending the school. new staff members to BPSD since last December. There are six new members at NACI and one new member at HMK. In the Pine Creek School Division (PCSD), overall enrolment is expected to stay the same. Brian Gouriluk, superintendent of PCSD, says some of the schools are expected to have a lower enrolment than last year, while others are expected to be higher,

keeping the division’s total numbers about the same.

Although the amount of students hasn’t changed, they have made some major changes to some of their schools. At Gladstone Elementary, the students will be returning to a newly renovated library and computer lab. The computer lab at Austin Elementary has also undergone renovations and is essentially now a double space classroom

and computer room. They have also made improvements to an office space at Austin Elementary that will be used for administration for the area’s colony schools and as a shop area for the school’s tech department.

Gouriluk is very pleased to announce some of the new programs that will be part of PCSD this year.

He tells us that PCSD is in partnership with BPSD

and Turtle River School Division (TRSD) with a new career development program that will span from early elementary ages up to high school ages. There will be a part-time coordinator for the program who will be going to each school division and providing opportunities for students to explore different careers at a younger age. The hope is to help students get a better idea of what they may or

may not want to do through experiencing and learning about different jobs.

Another topic that PCSD has been focused on in the last couple years is mental health. Gouriluk says it is very important for the staff and students to have good mental health. This year they have established a wellness committee to ensure that the needs of everyone in the division are taken care of.

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner On Sunday, Sept. 20 communities across Canada will once again take part in the annual Terry Fox Run. This year marks 35 years since Terry ran his Marathon of Hope. He ran over 5,000 kilometers in 143 days in an effort to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.

In Neepawa the run will take place at 2:00 p.m. starting at the Neepawa Area Collegiate track.

Excitement in the newspaper business

I

Yes, still two papers in Neepawa Thank you all for your past and future support

T

he Neepawa Banner and the Rivers Banner have been in business for a long time. They are owned by myself, my wife Christine and our two sons. We are blessed to have four grandchildren and a great-grandson who will, hopefully, some day own shares in the company.

The Neepawa Press began a lot earlier, in 1896. It’s been a tradition, a mainstay for Neepawa and area for 119 years. On Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015, my wife Christine and I purchased the venerable Neepawa Press. We are pleased to be able to return the paper to being locally owned and operated.

Many people were surprised that we, the Waddell family business, was able to purchase a local paper from a large corporation.

Some were also surprised to hear we would even want to make such a purchase. Many are surprised that we are going to print two papers in Neepawa. Here’s the reason why: we believe in local communities, we have dedicated all our adult lives to rural communities, having arrived here in 1971. We believe in the news industry and especially newspapers. We also have a lot of faith in social media when it’s properly used. In fact, we spread the news of our purchase of The Neepawa Press on our Facebook account and our web site. The news had reached over 7,000 people on Facebook by Friday morning and that was four days ahead of the Neepawa Press’ print edition.

So what are the plans for the future? It’s a simple formula. The map on the back page shows it in a graphic format. The Neepawa Press will circulate to 3,200

The myWestman.ca site, our Twitter and Facebook sites all go along as usual and are available 24/7. Advertisers will be able to choose which paper or combination of papers best suits their needs and budget.

Christine and I started the Neepawa Banner in 1989 and a few years later took over the Rivers Gazette-Reporter, under the Rivers Banner title. We are very pleased to be able to say we now own the Neepawa Press.

The two Neepawa papers will both be run out of our 243 Hamilton Street location in downtown

Neepawa. The phone numbers will all stay the same as noted in the map on the back page.

We look forward to serving all our readers, advertisers and print customers from the Neepawa Banner, the Rivers Banner and the Neepawa Press. It's an interesting time for us and hopefully it will be good for the communities as well. While we plan to use the Neepawa Press building as a kind of business incubator for downtown Neepawa, we are making every effort to make sure the 119 years of archives will be preserved. There’s a lot of history in that building, which was built in 1932.

It’s our hope that our papers and our various internet efforts will be here serving our communities for a long time. Thank you all for your past and future support.

Many people were surprised that we, the Waddell family business, were able to purchase a local paper from a large corporation. Some were also surprised to hear we would even want to make such a purchase.

t's been an exciting week here at the Banner, we welcomed another paper into our family. On Thursday, Sept. 2, at 5 p.m., we took ownership of the Neepawa Press, bringing the 119-yearold paper MY back under PERSPECTIVE local ownership.

L a t e last week, and over the weekate end, we ackman tkinson got started amalgamating the two Neepawa operations and built our first edition of the Neepawa Press. There was a lot of excitement when we unbundled the freshly printed papers.

As news of the purchase has spread and we’ve talked to advertisers and readers, the feedback, for the most part, has been positive. Surprisingly to me, the most frequent question we’ve been asked is, “Why are you keeping the two papers?” To me, this is a surprising question because of how we view the Press within our newspaper family. The Press doesn’t represent a competitor, it represents another way to help our customers and better inform our readers.

Each week, the Neepawa Banner distributes 8,200 copies of our paper. This number makes us the most widely circulated community paper in rural Manitoba. This also makes our ads a little more costly. When our competitors are publishing 5,000, 2,000 or 900 copies, they can offer cheaper rates– it costs a lot to print and distribute 8,200 newspapers. While our cost per copy is quite low, all those copies add up to a higher total price.

For many of our customers, this wide circulation is why they want to advertise with us. They want to reach a wide area and they draw their customers from across our coverage area; from Ste Rose to Carberry and Westbourne to Erickson.

But many of our customers don’t.

Many of our advertisers draw their customers from a much tighter area centered around Neepawa. Many of our customers are individuals or community groups that don’t have huge advertising budgets. Having the Neepawa Press allows us to better serve these customers.

The Neepawa Press will distribute about 3,200 copies and will cover the Beautiful Plains area: Neepawa, the Municipalities of Rosedale, Glenella-Lansdowne and the north portion of North Cypress-Langford. For those advertisers who want to target customers in this area, the Press offers a more focused way of reaching those readers.

With two distribution dates, Wednesday and Friday, we can also offer customers a paper on the day that works best for their business or event.

The Neepawa Banner will remain essentially the same paper it has always been. It will continue to feature news and advertising from across the area, as well as a strong editorial element.

The Neepawa Press has a long history and it’s something we didn’t want to see lost. The new layout pulls from the paper’s past, including bringing back a historic nameplate.

With this choice, we hope to emphasize our respect for the paper’s history within the community.

There is nothing saying that Neepawa will forever remain a two paper town– we are in fact an anomaly in this regard, few rural communities succeed in having two weekly papers. But from the start, the goal has been to operate two different papers with different news. Our hope is that with these two products, we can offer our customers more news and better ways of letting people know what’s going on. We hope this will help build our communities. After all, isn’t that what we all want?

SEPTEMBER 11, 2015

Building a responsible society

I

n 1934, the animators at Walt Disney released a Silly Symphony cartoon that chronicled the experience of Hop the Grasshopper and his friend The Ant. The two could not have been more different. Ant spent the days from late Spring to early Fall collecting and storing food.

He knew that Winter was coming and he wanted to be ready for it.

Hop couldn’t be bothered to store up food. His beliefs were summarized in the cartoon’s signature tune: “The World Owes Us a Living.” He spent his days playing and singing and of course, when Winter came, he came home to a cold house with an empty pantry.

Hop would have died had it not been for the kindness of Ant who, as it turns out, had stored up far more food than he needed and so had some to share with his destitute neighbor. Hop sees the error of his ways and changes his tune to: “I Owe the World a Living.”

What was going on in 1934? North America was in the midst of the Great

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein Depression. Money was scarce. Supplies (like food) were scarce. Jobs were not as plentiful as they had been in the 1920s; and there were many who felt just like Hop—the world owed them a living and it was time for the world to pay up.

Five years later, that attitude had changed radically. The world was at war. The draft had taken thousands of able bodied men out of the labor force.

Their places were taken by their wives, girlfriends or siblings who could not go to war. While their menfolk were overseas fighting in Europe, Africa or Japan, those at home were working in mines, factories or on farms to produce the food, munitions and supplies to enable the soldiers, sailors and fliers to win the war.

When those who sur-

vived the war returned home, they settled in communities like ours. They did not feel that the world owed them a living. They had put their lives on the line to create a world in which people could live in peace. Now it was time to build a strong nation that would be able to help its neighbors preserve the peace that had been won on the world’s battlefields.

Their first commitment was to their families and community. They worked together—husbands and wives—parents and children—to build mixed farms, schools, churches and community facilities.

They did not ask for help.

They took pride in being able to support themselves, to live independently and to make their contribution to building strong communities. They believed

that by doing this, they were helping to build a Canada that remained strong and free.

These people understood what it meant to live in a responsible society.

They did not expect, nor did they demand that others would do for them what they could do for themselves. So they worked long hours with few days off and even less time for vacations to ensure that those for whom they were responsible—their partners and children—had food on the table, clothing on their backs and a roof over their heads. They did their jobs well; as you and I both know.

Sadly, some of their descendants do not share those attitudes. They believe that “The World Owes Them a Living;” and they want the world to pay up.

This attitude, if allowed to persist, could bankrupt this country in two generations. We need a revival of responsibility in Canada.

Next week I will share three ways to make this happen.

The perfect long weekend

I

t was the perfect long weekend. It was not spent at a lake, or at a resort or a campground. I stayed at home! A granddaughter brought her baby to meet great-grandma.

He is a lovely six weeks old, smiling and cooing.

We went for walks, played games and chatted. Other grandchildren spent time with us as well. I sat at the table surrounded by some of the finest young people around. The one from away wanted roll kuchen. We had not planned ahead and on Monday it was almost impossible to find a watermelon, the main dish for roll kuchen. No worries, we dined on the old favourite, thoroughly dipped in heavy syrup.

And it was good.

It was wonderful to have the home filled with love and laughter and the smell and sound of a baby. There is something

HOMEBODIES

Rita Friesen so distinct about that new baby scent. Warmth and cleanliness, trust and love all wrapped up in one wee body. We shared. We took turns holding. I passed on diaper duty. But one evening when he took a crying spell, I didn’t flinch or back down. I cuddled and crooned and walked and whispered. I wondered at the wonder of a parents love, a grandparents love.

I remembered anew the frustration of not speaking ‘baby’. What does that cry mean? What does he need?

The home was filled with life, and life forms.

Total animal count was four dogs and two cats.

Letters Manitoba Hydro mismanagement The Manitoba NDP’s wasteful mismanagement has long threatened essential front-line services. The services cut under the NDP have now extended to Manitoba Hydro, which has closed 12 rural district offices to save an estimated $1 million.

The office closures, however, have come while Hydro’s senior executive salaries increased by $1.4 million between 2012 and 2014. And the executives’ raises of 20 to 30 per cent were revealed after the utility’s 3.95 per cent rate hike took effect in August.

This is the NDP’s style of management, which forces Manitobans to pay more and get less.

Manitobans have so far experienced eight hydro rate increases totaling more than 25 per cent since Greg Selinger became premier. Under the NDP’s plan, Manitoba Hydro’s rates will more than double over the next two decades as a way to help cover the cost of the wasteful western route of the $4.6-billion BiPole III transmission line.

The waste and cuts to services will continue, as another 12 rural Hydro offices are slated for closure in 2017. Manitoba Hydro’s CEO promised these rural closures would “allow us to be more efficient, providing more consistent service at a reduced cost and ultimately passing those savings on to customers.” But Hydro customers will get no such promised savings, as the corporation’s NDP-appointed board continues to rubber-stamp pay hikes for its executives.

Hydro customers are tired of the NDP’s broken promises and want a change for the better. With the help of Manitobans, a change for the better is coming.

Election 2015:

Seniors

Seniors. With Canada’s baby-boomer population aging, what support for seniors would you like to see? Are there alternatives to help seniors when the government supports (CPP/OAS) aren’t enough to offset a rising cost of living and health costs? On the flip side, what programs would you like to see help young Canadians better save for retirement?

INTERVIEWS HAVE BEEN EDITED FOR LENGTH AND CLARITY.

Name: Laverne Lewycky Party: NDP Home: Dauphin As a baby-boomer myself, whose 96 year old mother has now entered the Dauphin Personal Care Home, from personal experience, I am acutely aware of the needs of our aging parents. The NDP is committed to providing a dependable and sustainable pension system. It will ensure that there are viable Canada Pension Plans for all Canadians.

Canadian seniors can feel comfortable knowing the NDP will reverse Old Age Security eligibility age from 67 to 65. The NDP will protect existing retirees from having their accrued pension benefits reduced by their employer; and lift 200,000 seniors out of poverty with new funding to the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Dealing with the rising cost of living and health costs is essential to offset the daily predicament many seniors face.

To help young Canadians save for retirement, a New Democratic government will make a $15 federal minimum wage a priority. Students face burdensome debt loads upon graduation. A hallmark of today’s economy is that workers change employers numerous times in their careers. As a consequence, it is important that pension plans are portable across sectors of the economy and geographical areas. An NDP government will ensure pension plans provide income security for future generations.

To coordinate national effective results, the NDP would convene a first ministers’ CPP/QPP and pension security meeting within six months of taking office. The Canada pension plan needs to be enhanced to ensure retirement security for seniors. The federal government must work with the provinces so that future generations are not saddled with a massive social debt by sparing younger people from shouldering the total cost of caring for their seniors.

The Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa area can uniquely contribute to such a national conference. One of the earliest experiments with guaranteed incomes in Dauphin during the 1970s was the Mincome (minimum income) program. Unfortunately, its results were never fully evaluated because of a change in government that simply put the program’s records in storage. Interestingly, recently other countries have studied that program and started to incorporate its features in their own countries.

Canada can learn from their experiences with such progressive approaches to seniors’ well-being.

Name: Inky Mark Party: Independent Home: Dauphin Governments must pay more attention to seniors’ issues. Canada has an aging population, soon most of the post WWII baby generation will become seniors.

Seventy per cent of Canadians do not have a pension plan, therefore the government must have policies in place to help seniors retire. I believe the OSA and CPP should not be taxed. Canada needs a PharmaCare program for all of us. Seniors need more assistance while living independent lives in their own homes.

Name: Kate Storey Party: Green Party of Canada Home: Grandview The unfortunate reality is that when it comes to most seniors or those about to reach that age category, other than the public pension plans, which many of them are depending on, there are few that are truly ready.

What [the Green Party of Canada] proposes is a plan to augment the Canada Pension Plan. We’re looking at a guaranteed livable income supplement.

That’s a basic income supplement for not only seniors but also the disabled and veterans.

How it goes is that, there are all those credits that you just can’t get at this time because you didn’t have the income. Well, if it is refundable, you do get it and that becomes an income supplement, what that means is there is more money in their pocket. They can go to the grocery store, they can buy clothes, better afford the cost of living. We can ensure there is money in seniors’ pockets.

The federal government also has to take immediate steps to make sure pensioners are protected in case of a company going bankrupt. Right now, the law is that if your company that you have worked at for 30 years goes bankrupt, pensioners are out of luck and that’s just not fair. So, let’s find a way to protect those people from elements beyond their control.

Name: Robert Sopuck Name: Ray Piché Party: Liberal Party of Canada Home: Onanole As a retired member of the RCMP, I believe all Canadians deserve a secure and dignified retirement after a lifetime of hard work.

The Liberal Party of Canada has a compassionate plan that will help our beloved seniors. We believe that a gradually phased in, fully funded enhancement of the CPP is the best way to help ensure that today’s working Canadians can retire with a secure public pension. A Liberal government will work with the provinces and territories to enhance the Canada Pension Plan to help ensure retirement security for all Canadians.

A Liberal government will also reverse the Harper government’s OAS clawback and return the OAS eligibility age to 65 from 67. Our plan is, and will always be, that we will keep income splitting for seniors’ pensions, despite what the Conservatives have said in their attack ads .

We will also work with Canadians caring for a seriously ill adult family member, who needs significant care over and above what can be provided during evenings and weekends, or a seriously ill child, who cannot attend school for an extended period of time. They will no longer be excluded from the benefit. A Liberal government will introduce a more flexible and accessible Employment Insurance Compassionate Care Benefit, available to any Canadian who provides care to a seriously ill family member. Though applicants will still be expected to submit a medical certificate in order to qualify, the benefit will have more inclusive eligibility requirements.

Party: Conservative Party of Canada Home Sandy Lake In terms of Canada’s seniors, our Conservative government has a very strong track record of support for this very important segment of Canadian society. We introduced income splitting for senior couples, which has significantly reduced the tax burden for them. Also we have adjusted Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs) to ensure that these pools of funds last longer for retirees. For low income seniors, we have increased the level paid out by the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). As well, under the New Horizons and Enabling Accessibility Programs, the federal government has been providing funds to modernize and repair seniors’ recreational and cultural facilities and to enhance the accessibility of facilities for those seniors who are disabled.

Furthermore, to help young Canadians, and indeed Canadians of all ages, to save for their eventual retirement, we have increased the amount that can be invested annually in a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) to $10,000. We have also introduced income splitting for families and introduced the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB). The UCCB pays families $160.00/month for each child 6 and under and $60.00/month for every child from age 6 to 17. The extra funds can support day care and/or provide for a child’s education among other things. The extra funding under the UCCB will also create the flexibility to assist younger Canadians to save for the future.

It must be noted that both the Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party voted against all of these measures and are committed to removing these benefits. The elimination of income splitting for seniors would be a devastating financial setback for many people. A re-elected Conservative government would ensure that these benefits stay in place.

Neepawa Natives focus on exhibition season

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The remaining players vying for a spot on the Neepawa Natives’ roster have a chance to show off their skill set in a whole different way, as the exhibition schedule has begun.

The Manitoba Junior Hockey League club played its first pre-season game on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at the Yellowhead Centre against the Waywayseecappo Wolverines (See Sept. 16 edition of the Neepawa Press for game details).

Natives head coach Jim Fuyarchuk said these match-ups serve as a great warmup for the returning players to get into game shape, as well as a last chance for several prospects to make their mark and secure a roster spot.

“Training camp had a very good energy for us this year, but I expect [the remaining players] will kick it up a notch during the exhibition schedule.

When you start to get into games against players on

Natives coach Jim Fuyarchuk speaks with players in advance of the exhibition schedule other teams that are in the same position as you, in that they’re fighting for a roster spot and looking to stand out from the crowd,

the intensity level gets ratcheted up. Basically, you have no friends on the other team. You’re battling for a job and at this point,

you just have to go for it,” said Fuyarchuk.

General manager Myles Cathcart added that these games will give the younger

players an opportunity to show what they have to offer in a game situation.

Cathcart noted that the pace of an exhibition match

is much different from what is seen in a practice or even a scrimmage.

“You get to play against a different opponent [in exhibition], so it’s a new look there. As the exhibition season continues, the intensity will pick up as well, as we approach the final roster cuts. The players know that there are a few more decisions to be made, a few more cuts to get to the regular season roster,” said Cathcart. “Opponents such as Wayway, Dauphin and Winker will challenge our players in a whole different way. It’ll be up to [the players] to step up their game.”

There are currently 26 players still vying for a position on the club. The final cuts to the squad will be made before the first game of the regular season on Friday, Sept. 25 in Dauphin against the Kings. As for the home opener, the Neepawa Natives will be at the Yellowhead Centre on the following night, Saturday, Sept. 26 against the Dauphin Kings.

Midget Chiefs ready Natives pleased with early season ticket results for training camp

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Hockey players from across the region will soon hit the ice in Shoal Lake, hoping to earn a spot with the Yellowhead AAA Midget Chiefs. At least 42 players are expected to be a part of the training camp, which is set for Sept.11-13, at the Shoal Lake Communiplex.

Head coach Craig Geekie said there will be a wealth of talent for the coaching staff to build its team from.

“We’re just thrilled with the numbers we’re going to have out there on the ice. It’s one of the largest training camps the team has had in the past few years,” said Geekie. “We’ll have about 10, perhaps 12 veterans from last year’s squad that’ll be out there as well as an incredibly skilled group of [hockey players born in 2000].

There’s going to be a few very interesting position battles going on. I think many returning players will be challenged by the

younger group to secure their spot on the roster.”

Geekie noted that a few veteran players will likely be away at MJHL camps, so the Chiefs coaching staff will be able to give the younger players a better look. He added that the potential roster could be very talent laden and believes it’s something Yellowhead can build its core game strategies around.

Work is underway off the ice as well for the Chiefs, as the club prepares to name a new team manager. Jason and Michelle Young were in the position last year and will aid the new manager, once that individual is selected, to transition into the job. Outgoing comanager Michelle Young also said that once the players have been picked for the team, the executive will begin working with the parents to organize volunteers for the upcoming season.

“There are lots of jobs that need to be looked after during the year to make the team run,” noted Young.

“Fortunately, we see so

many parents step up every year to assist in any way they can. Everything is already looked after when it comes to travel and accommodations for road games. It’s the home games, where the extra assistance is greatly appreciated.”

The Chiefs first pre-season game is set for Monday, Sept. 14 in Brandon against the AAA Wheat Kings.

After participating in a tournament in Souris Sept.

17-20, final player cuts will be made on Sept. 22. The first game of the regular season is scheduled for Oct. 2 in Kenora against the Thistles.

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The executive board for the Neepawa Natives Hockey Club is pleased with the initial numbers from its season ticket drive.

Early estimates suggest that 140 ticket plans have been sold for the 2015-2016 Manitoba Junior Hockey League schedule, including 22 Builders Club packages, which includes a free replica jersey and discounts to all Booster Club apparel.

Those initial results are down from last season’s “Drive for 500” campaign, which saw 303 passes sold by the MJHL team. The executive has noted however that matching the 2014-2015 numbers was never expected, due to the deeply

Shelby Certified installer of Excavating septic tanks 1 (204) 841-0580 476-0794

and fields

discounted price that was offered last year to keep the team alive and reinvigorate interest in the town. It’s also noted that the 2015-2016 ticket prices, though higher than last year, are still the lowest of any of the member clubs in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.

The Neepawa Natives have also confirmed that season tickets will continue to be sold and a mini-pack ticket program will be launched shortly. Prices and the number of games that will be a part of the mini-pack will be decided upon in the near future.

As for the distribution of sold season tickets, a pick-up day is being discussed and it’s expected that additional details will likely be announced to the public before the start of the MJHL regular season.

Female Chiefs set for Swift Current

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The Yellowhead AAA Female Chiefs are hoping to be in mid-season form even before the first face-off of the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League regular season.

The team has completed its training camp and has selected the roster for the upcoming year. Head coach Derek Tibbatts said the amount of talented players who tried to earn a spot on the club this year was very impressive.

“At training camp, we had about 38 players out, including the goalies. That’s better numbers than last year and on top of that, there was a good level of skill out there on ice to choose from,” said Tibbatts. “The majority of our veteran players are back. There are about 14 returnees, so that veteran presence should ensure that we hold

our own. Our young players also have a lot of potential and will have a chance to establish themselves. Overall, this team should have a lot of speed on the centre and wings, a strong defence and great consistency in the net. Overall, I feel as though this team is in a very good position heading into the regular season.”

Tibbatts said while the training camp went very well for them, an upcoming pre-season tournament in Swift Current, Saskatchewan will provide the first real opportunity for the coaching staff to see what they have in terms of a team.

“Hopefully this will get us ready for the start of the regular season. I’d like to see a strong effort out there on the ice. For [the players] to come to play and just see how they adapt to playing some teams that they’re unfamiliar with,” said Tibbatts.

BU Bobcats Volleyball planning game in Gladstone Submitted The Neepawa Banner The Brandon University Bobcats are taking their show on the road as part of their tune-up for the 2015-2016 Canada West season.

The basketball and volleyball teams will travel to four different communities in Westman this fall for intrasquad games at high school gyms, including the Men’s Volleyball team visting Gladstone on Wednesday, Sept. 23.

The Westman tour will provide Bobcats’ newcomer Chayse Warkentin a chance to play in front of familiar faces at his alma mater of William Morton Collegiate.

“The intrasquad games are a great opportunity to give fans a chance to see what we’re all about,” said BU athletic director Russ Paddock. “Our goal is to continue having a strong presence in Westman and we feel this is a strong step towards achieving that.”

Other Brandon Univeristy teams will travel across the region as well in September. The men’s basketball team will play Sept. 17 in Glenboro, which is home to the twotime defending provincial ‘A’ boys’ champion Panthers.

The women’s basketball team will head to the hoops hotbed of Hamiota on Sept. 22. It’ll be a homecoming for current Bobcats Keegan Robinson and Shayna Mathison, who had standout careers with the Huskies and helped them capture provincial titles.

The BU women’s volleyball team, who are hosting the CIS national championship this coming March, will set their sights on Souris for Sept. 16, for their intrasquad game.

Former Bobcat men’s hockey player and Jim Casey Memorial Sportsmanship Award winner Guy Williams is the principal in Souris and ex-women’s volleyball player Sara Grona teaches grade three and four.

Paddock said that these games are a great opportunity to give fans a chance to see what the sports programs are all about.

“Our goal is to continue having a strong presence in Westman and we feel this a strong step towards achieving that,” noted Paddock.

The men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball intrasquad games get going at 7 p.m., while the men’s volleyball match starts at 7:30 p.m.

Admission is free to all four events and people from across the region are invited out to watch this high level (1,1) -1- 02 - May 23/14.indd 14/05/14 3:34 PM university sports action.

On October 15, 1936, Myrtle married Kenneth Beddome in Minnedosa. In 1947, they moved to their farm in the Hazelwood district, where they lived for 44 years. Ken and Myrtle retired to Minnedosa in the fall of 1991.

Together they raised two daughters Jean ( Sharpe), and Ellen ( Bramley).

Myrtle was an active member of the community. Throughout her 101 years she held memberships in the Edna W.A., the Rebecca Lodge, The Health Auxiliary (Hospital Aid), the Hazelwood Community Club, the U.C.W., the Minnedosa Ag. Society, and the Merry Hearts Choir.

Myrtle was an avid gardener, and loved nature in all its forms. She would never turn down an offer for a drive up to Riding Mountain to view the pretty flowers in the summer, or the beautiful leaves in the fall. She held an appreciation for art, and even in later years maintained her ability to paint and quilt.

Family was important to Myrtle. She always looked forward to watching her grandchildren participate in activities such as curling, hockey, baseball, 4-H, and music recitals. Over the years, Ken and Myrtle hosted many family celebrations, whether at the farm, or later in Minnedosa.

Her home was always open. Cookies, from a tin at the back door, a good cup of tea, with the money on top, and conversations around the kitchen table were some of the simple pleasures she enjoyed and shared with numerous family members and friends.

Myrtle was pre-deceased by her husband of 67 years, Kenneth. Her brothers Harry (age 9), Reg ( Myrtle), Horace (Ann), and Clarence, ( Lena) and her parents Henry and Charlotte.

She leaves behind her children: Jean ( Mervyn) Sharpe, and Ellen ( Tom) Bramley. Grandchildren: Bruce Sharpe, Ken ( Sherri) Sharpe, Louise (John) MacDonald, Bryan ( Karen) Bramley, Brenda ( Grant) Warrener. Great Grandchildren: Corinne ( Allan) Betteridge, Pamella ( Dale ) LeBoutillier, Brett ( Nadine) Sharpe, Jacey Sharpe, Jillian, Emily, Hannah MacDonald, Richard Bramley( Stephanie Cook), Leland Bramley. Great-great- grandchildren: Lainey and Connor Betteridge, Myah and Lily LeBoutillier, Ainsley and Lucas Sharpe. As well as many nieces, nephews, neighbours and friends.

Myrtle was a fierce competitor, never wanting to give up, superstitious, to the point of setting two dinner tables to avoid 13 people sitting at one, compassionate towards both people and animals, and will never be forgotten by those she left behind. May she forever rest in peace, finally reunited with the love of her life.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Minnedosa Personal Care Home Patio Project.

Minnedosa Funeral Service in care of arrangements.

The Madill Family

Obituary Sharon Louise Madill Sharon Louise Madill of Minnedosa, Manitoba passed away at the Minnedosa Health Centre at the age of 61 years.

Sharon was born in Neepawa and grew up at Elk Ranch.

She was the middle child of nine children to John and Irene Pasowisty. She met her husband Orville at a dance in Polonia and they were wed Oct. 6, 1973. Together they had three children Crystal, Trent and Brent. She enjoyed spending time with her family no matter if it was at the campground, hockey rink or ball diamond. When not watching the kids she worked for Penner’s Bakery, Madill Meats, and then finally the Neepawa and Minnedosa Heritage CO-Ops. As her kids got older her two favorite teams turned into the Montreal Canadians and the Toronto Blue Jays. This past year she went down to Minneapolis to watch the Jays in action. She loved to spend time with her grandchildren. She always had a special treat or new game to play. But if you were coming for the treats the grandkids knew that the first thing Grandma needed when you arrived was her hug.

Besides the love she had for her kids she also loved to watch Days of Our Lives, play cards, dance, and spend time with family. For every birthday or holiday Sharon would have something ready to celebrate. She loved the simple life.

Sharon was predeceased by her father John Pasowisty and her in-laws Leslie and Hilda Madill. Surviving is her husband Orville, children Crystal (Dave), Trent (Erin), Brent (Kim), brother -in-law Arnold (Brenda), grandchildren Shawna, Nathan, Justin, Riley, Morgan and Kaylea, mother Irene, siblings Janet (Graham), Bev (Ron), Ike (Michelle), Iris (Richard), Shirley (Jim), Leona (Scott), Lori (Brent), Mike (Shelley), and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

NEEPAWA BANNER SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 13

Obituary May Hunter November 15, 1926 August 30, 2015 Peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family, Mom passed away on Sunday, August 30, 2015, at Country Meadows in Neepawa.

Sadly missed and forever loved by her children - Lynn Henderson, Val Fourneaux (Bob), Nancy (Larry Evans), Ginny Collins (Brent), Graham (Lori) and Mardelle Sauerborn (Steve).

Much loved Grandma to Scott (Angela), Andrea (Harry), Rob (Heather), Chase (Katie), Lane (Amarra), Ty, Michelle (Blake), Kevin, Sarah (AJ), Kaethel (Jeff) and Ben. Proud GiGi to Ainslee, Brett, Emma, Damon, Caleb and Bentleigh.

Remembered with such wonderful memories by her sister Judy Gleadall, brothers George and Lesley, sisters in law Mary, Gayle and Elaine and numerous nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by her husband, life-long love Graham, in 2005, granddaughter Jennifer and brothers Ted, Alf and Chuck.

Mom was born Bessie May Walker to parents Thomas and Emily. She was raised in East Kildonan where she was a devoted member of the Washington Avenue Mission and Saint Stevens Anglican Church. She shared with pride, such great stories of her first job as a forelady for Kraft Foods in Winnipeg.

It was love at first sight for Mom & Dad when they met in her uncle’s field in Neepawa and that love just grew stronger as the years went by. They married in 1947 and lived their early years in Winnipeg, then making the move to Neepawa in 1963.

Mom’s top priority was always family. As the eldest daughter, she helped to raise her brothers and sister and then, of course, her own children, always with unconditional love and support.

Our family gatherings at the farm became highlights for 3 generations and we laughingly remember and share them over and over again. Our excursions to the river and pasture for wiener roasts and bonfires were always so much fun.

A bountiful garden often became a “working vacation” for our many visitors to the farm with lots of laughter thrown in. We certainly learned to be good team players working beside our parents, grandparents, aunties & uncles and family friends.

Mom was always ready with goodies gratefully enjoyed by anyone dropping by. Strong bonds were formed with friends and neighbors who bowled with Mom and Dad for over 40 years.

A momism that we have all adopted in our own lives, is her tradition of burning a candle. Mom did this for folks in need of a special prayer ~ perhaps an illness or surgery, an exam, a job interview, an imminent birth ~ any of life’s events.

Mom’s silly side often manifested itself with random dressup antics to the delight of us all. Of course we often joined in for hysterical dress-up extravaganzas.

Auntie May was a favourite aunt to cousins and family friends over the years who visited the farm. In later years she became Auntie May to lucky neighborhood kids who she cared for in a gentle way that made each of them feel as special as they truly were to Mom & Dad. We always admired Mom’s amazing ability to cope with whatever life threw her way. We call it “Putting on her May coat”. That quiet determination to put her best foot forward ... always thinking of how to make it better for others.

The family will be ever grateful to the staff at Country Meadows (Daisy Ward) and Yellowhead Manor (2nd floor) for the compassionate care that Mom received.

It was evident how you felt about her in the warmth you showed to her.

We celebrated Mom’s life with a beautiful graveside service at the Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa, sheltered under the shade of the old oak tree.

The service was officiated with so much grace by Rita Friesen to whom we are forever grateful. As she so perfectly stated our parents were always..

Mom & Dad - one word ~ May & Graham - one word Mom, the world was blessed with an angel of a person You always did your very best to share a warm compassion, That keeps all other’s needs in mind, A bright & sunny outlook, And a commitment to be kind, Then adds a touch of silly, A true & honest heart, And a certain little sparkle That sets angel-types apart.

We love you always.

Thank You - Thank You - Thank You In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the United Way or the Salvation Army.

Many thanks to Whites Funeral Chapel in Neepawa

Notice

Iona Lucille Boughen (Trybel, Nee Lindsay) passed away peacefully the morning of Thursday August 27, 2015 at the age of 82 years at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre.

Our Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother is at rest now after struggling with health issues over the past two years.

Iona was born on May 27, 1933 in the Lindsay family homestead at Laurier, MB (RM of Ste. Rose) 2nd youngest of the family of 6 to parents Robert & Elizabeth. She attended Bracken School (RM of McCreary) to Grade 8 taking Grade 9 by correspondence and completing Grade 10 and 11 at Glenlawn Collegiate (St. Vital) in Winnipeg. In 1953 she married Fred Trybel and they resided in Winnipeg until moving to McCreary in 1958. They had one daughter Karen Ann Doreen Mozdzen (Trybel) of Alonsa. In 1973 Iona moved to Dauphin MB. She was married to Clark Boughen in 1977 where they lived on the Boughen homestead farming until their retirement to Laguna Beach in 1995. They made home to a number of foster children over the years. Employment included Royal Canadian Legion, Bank of Montreal and Manitoba Crop Insurance. She was a member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch #20 and received her 40 year pin as a member of Ladies Legion Auxiliary (president twice) and life member of Kilty Kurling Klub. She was very community minded and spent many hours doing volunteer work and participating in fund raising events.

She had a great many friends and was always noted for her laughter and great sense of humour. Everyone knew by her laugh when Iona was there. She always tried to find the good in people and the bright side of every situation.

She loved nature, art, photography and every creature God has created. She was very talented and creative.

She loved music and played piano by ear. She also would never throw anything away – she would fix it with Krazy glue. Everyone would say if you want to know how to fix it – phone Iona, she’ll know! Everyone used to tell her she missed her calling – she should have been an interior designer as she laid out the design for 2 houses in the planning, interior decorating and landscaping. She loved to play ball and curl in her day and was always game for everything from dressing up like the “Beatles”, to getting her group together in their bikinis and Hawaii “grass skirts”. There was never a dull moment. She also loved playing cards which seemed to be a “Lindsay” trait. She hosted a great many “pool parties”, family get togethers and New Year’s Eve parties at their home. She was always organizing something, Gov’t employees Xmas parties, retirements, farewells etc... No wonder everybody loved her. She gave so much and never counted the cost.

Iona enjoyed spending holidays and special occasions with Clark, Karen & David and family. She was so proud of her 3 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Left to mourn her passing are: her husband Clark Boughen, daughter Karen (David) Mozdzen of Alonsa, MB, granddaughters Kimberley (Kendall) Asham of Arborg, MB and Jennifer (John) Greigson of Souris, MB, grandson-Bryan Mozdzen( Krista Abrey) of Alonsa, MB, great grandchildren Evan & Danielle Asham, Kaitlyn & Kristen Greigson, Blake & Dexyn Mozdzen, sisters Lena Harrison of Lethbridge, AB and Myrtle Rezansoff of Edmonton, AB, brother-in- law Blaine (Gerry) Boughen of Dugald, MB, brother-in-law Wayne Newton of Dauphin as well as several nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Special foster family Tim and Ina Prokipchuk and son Michael of Winnipeg Predeceased by her parents Robert and Elizabeth Lindsay (Elliott), brothers Harold, Arnold, sister Muriel Johnston, sister-in-law Rose Lindsay, in laws Robert and Ada Boughen and sister-in-law Iris Newton.

Those wishing to remember Iona may honour her memory by making a donation to CNIB or Cancer Care Manitoba.

Special thanks are extended to Dr. Penrose and the medical and support staff of DRHC for their care and compassion.

To all her friends and family thank you for being an important part of Iona’s life. We have not lost her- she will be with us forever!! We Love You!!

A service celebrating the life of Iona was held at the Dauphin First United Church in Dauphin, Manitoba on Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at 2 p.m. Celebrant was Ilene Dowd. Interment followed at Riverside Cemetery.

On Sept 1, federal Progressive Conservative candidate Robert Sopcuck officially opened his Neepawa campaign office. From left: campaign chair Bob Lepischak, volunteer Doug Wilkinson, office manager Christine Waddell, Robert Sopuck and electoral district association president Norm Sims.

Brewery construction set to begin Submitted The Neepawa Banner If all goes to plan, by next spring, Neepawa will be home to North America’s first estate brewery. On Sept. 3, Farmery announced a deal to purchase the former Mazer Equipment building on Highway 5 North in Neepawa. The goal to have it brewing and offering tours for the spring of 2016.

“It’s been four years since we announced our estate brewery vision and launched our Farmery Premium Lager, and a year-and-a-half since we’ve been on Dragon’s Den,” says Chris Warwaruk, coowner of Farmery Estate Brewery. “Every year, we’ve been working on our farm and had successful harvests of our premium malt barley and have been growing and establishing our hop yard to the point where we will be commercially harvesting it this fall.”

Farmery Estate Brewery, once established, will be North America’s first “estate brewery”, where the brewery not only brews beer but also grows the ingredients that go into the beer, thereby ensuring premium quality right from the farm to the customer’s hand. It’s worth to note that many breweries are sourcing their ingredients as locally as possible and it’s a trend that’s not going away.

“We’ve been doing grassroots marketing and getting our message out about what we want Farmery to be: local, prairie-grown and produced,” adds Lawrence Warwaruk, the other co-founder of Farmery. “We want to use ingredients sourced from us and other rural farmers as locally as possible. After all, the best malted barley is grown on the prairies, so this is where we need to be - out in the country.”

Lawrence and Chris believe that supporting a grass roots initiative is what will resonate with existing and future customers.

“Once you try how real beer tastes, made with all grain ingredients done the traditional way in small batches, you won’t want to go back to the macro-styled beer made with cheap adjuncts and corn syrup,” says Lawrence.

Chris and Lawrence grew the ingredients for their beer, and were getting their Farmery Premium Lager partner-brewed

by Muskoka Brewery of Ontario. Focusing on marketing and building their own niche with a supportive customer base was paramount, building the brewery ,on the other hand, was going to take more time and a lot more money.

Then an opportunity arose. As Chris and Lawrence were exploring different options of how they wanted to get the brewery going, they noticed that the local Mazer Group Dealership was moving out of their building.

We called the number on the sign and the owner of Mazer Group, Bob Mazer picked up the phone. ‘Bob, we want to look at your building for a brewery,”’ says Lawrence. “From that point, the process seemed like it took forever, but after a little over a year, we were able to strike a deal with Bob.” Bob Mazer believed in the boys and the Farmery Estate Brewery vision enough to invest in Farmery. “It’s the right fit and it makes sense for a great community like Neepawa,” said Mazer.

The added genuine touch is that the building used to house farming machinery and implements. There is ample room to construct a brew house, taproom, gift store and outdoor space to hold large events.

The Neepawa location gives the brewery the double advantage of accessing visitors going through the town of Neepawa as well as providing proximity for tours of the hops yard and barley fields.

“It’s about giving the public a very exclusive opportunity to not only see how the beer is made in the brewery, but to actually walk out into the barley field and hop yard to touch the ingredients that go into our beer,” says Lawrence. “Out of the thousands of breweries in North America, Farmery will be the first brewery to provide this prairie experience!”

“It’s great to see our hard work starting to pay off,” said Chris. “And the best thing of all is that once this brewery gets built and we get to start brewing beer on site, we will have completed the circle of what we said we were going to do all along by being Farmery Estate Brewery. It’s going to be exciting!”
