Bringing in the harvest, the old fashioned way It was a beautiful weekend for the annual Threshing Days and Toy Show at Third Crossing Agricultural Museum in Gladstone. Threshing Days has been a yearly event for the past 27 years and the toy show has been a part of it for the past three. About 150 people came out to the event, which took place Sept. 19 and 20. There was a parade each day to showcase the different farming machinery that has been used over the years; threshing demonstrations also took place to give a glimpse of how farming used to be done before combines and balers. John Teichrib (left) and Dale Neustater helped with the threshing demonstration on Sunday. See more on page 6. PHOTO BY KIRA PATERSON
‘Dragons’ looking for the region’s big ideas By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner Local entrepreneurs will have a chance to make their ideas a reality at a new event in Minnedosa next month. On Thursday, Oct. 22 at 9:00 am, the Minnedosa and Area Community Development Corporation (CDC) and the Neepawa and Area Development Corporation (NADCO) will be hosting an entrepreneurship event called “What’s the Big Idea?” at the Minnedosa Community Conference Center. The day will include a
Dragon’s Den style event, where the entrepreneurs will have the chance to present their idea to the “dragons,” who will evaluate their pitch. There are a number of cash prizes and incentives from local businesses and organizations for the most successful pitches. Each award comes with a set of criteria the entrepreneur must meet to be eligible. For example, there is a prize for $150 for the best pitch from a female entrepreneur, or a $500 grant from the R.M. of Oakview for the idea “which best benefits the residents of the municipal-
ity.” One pitch could potentially win several awards, if the entrepreneur and idea meet the criteria. After the event is over, Marilyn Crewe and Vern May, economic development officers of Neepawa and Minnedosa, will have a list of new businesses that hope to get started. Their goal is to help the entrepreneurs with anything they need to build their business. They will be able to refer them to other organizations that would support their business, help them find a lot or a venue where they can run their business or just
give them advice along the way if that’s what the entrepreneurs need. Those wanting to make a pitch have to register with either May or Crewe. There is no cost to register or to come and watch. The hope is that anyone who has an idea will come forward to make a pitch. “Anyone who thinks they have an idea, and they’re not sure what we’re looking for, they’re more than welcome to give me a call or come see me. Both Vern and I are waiting for the phone to ring from those entrepreneurs,” said Crewe. “We actually have a
coaching list so that we can provide the information that those entrepreneurs would maybe want to think about before they stand up in front of a ‘dragon’.” The main goal of “What’s the Big Idea?” is to give entrepreneurs an opportunity to make their ideas happen. Crewe said that people who have these ideas often don’t know how to get started. “There’s various support agencies and we’re just bringing them all to one place so that the entrepreneurs can learn about what support systems are there,” Crewe explained.
“We also want the community to come out,” she added, noting it’s important for people to know about potential local businesses. “That just grows the local economy because you have a community that’s committed to seeing this new business be successful, so they’re going to support it.” The event is also a way to get more small businesses going within the small communities in the region. Local businesses are important to small communities like Neepawa and Minnedosa. Continued on page 7

Trip a chance to learn about family heritage By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner This summer, Dave and Myra Bennet went to Scotland with their family to see their grandson, Leyton, compete in a bagpipe band competition. They left on Aug. 8 and returned on Sept. 3. Dave’s father was from Scotland, so they decided that taking the whole family would be a good opportunity to “instil some heritage into the grandchildren.” They went
with their son, Craig, and his family from Portage la Prairie, which included Leyton, and their other son, Cam, and his family from Dauphin. Leyton’s bagpipe band, the Lord Selkirk Robert Fraser Memorial Pipe Band, played in five different locations in Scotland. The main event for the band was the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow on Aug. 15. They competed with 16 other bands in the junior age group and placed in the
middle of the pack, tied for seventh. There was a total of 230 bands from all over the world competing. They also played at Stirling Castle in Queen Anne’s Gardens, performed for Lord Selkirk at Lennoxlove, performed in a street festival in Glasgow and played at the Arbroath Abbey ruins with the Arbroath Legion Band. After the band had played in Arbroath, the family visited a small town nearby called St. Vigeans, where Dave’s father was
Tasty treats At the Farm Gate On Sept. 19, Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve (RMBR) hosted the annual At the Farm Gate Fall Harvest Market located in the Onanole Rec. Centre during the Sonics & Sojourns Festival. RMBR executive director Val Pankratz said, “Over 600 attended Saturday’s event, raising $1000 for educational programming.” Left: Lorna French and her father Paul, of French’s Farm of Kelwood, were promoting delicious home made English cakes baked by Helen French.

born. At St. Vigeans, they visited the church, the cemetery and the house that is standing on the property where Dave’s father grew up. Dave has three cousins who live in Scotland near Arbroath, so they were able to meet up with them there. The cousins were also able to see Leyton perform at Arbroath Abbey. During the trip, the family also got to see Doune Castle and a number of tourist attractions in Edinburgh. On Aug. 24, Dave and Myra’s children and grandchildren came back home because school was starting soon. Dave and Myra stayed behind to visit where they used to live and work in England. They met up with some old friends there as well. “[The trip was] a chance to do some family heritage stuff,” said Dave. “It was a neat family activity.” SUBMITTED PHOTO

Don’t want to miss the paper?
On Tuesday, Sept. 15, Country Meadows hosted a community bike decorating parade. The weather was cool but that did not stop the event from happening. The parade was moved inside for residents, family and staff to enjoy. Twenty three youth showed off their very creatively decorated bikes and their costumes. Prizes were awarded to the participants. After the parade, local band Swamp Gas performed for everyone to enjoy along with their icecreams, courtesy of Dairy Queen. A big thank you to all of the children and their families for participating. The residents at Country Meadows loved having them come for the evening. Thank you also to the judges: Heather Todoruk, Val Wilson and Judy Gabler.
To family members, volunteers, and staff: thank you for all your help putting on the event. Country Meadows would not be able to host such big events without you all. Country Meadows will definitely do this event again next year!

F Winnipeg Free Press wrong, again
A
s a daily reader ( or at least scanner) of the Winnipeg Free Press, I have become painfully aware of the grand old paper’s drift to the left. They slid a little further left again this week. In their Monday editorial, the Winnipeg Free Press slammed the Harper government for appealing the “veil” law. Seems that one lady wants to take her citizenship oath with her face almost completely covered. The federal Conservative government doesn’t think that is right. I don’t either. I am willing to bet that most Canadians find it objectionable as well. The Winnipeg Free Press, in typically left wing fashion, springs to the defence of people to cover their face at this public ceremony where a person pledges allegiance to Canada. Covering one’s face while pledging allegiance, while voting, while testifying in court is just plain wrong. If I were to show up to vote wearing a balaclava, I think I would be told to take it off. I know I would as people voting in Canada are required to provide photo ID. In a country like Iraq, where many, many ladies veil their faces, they go to vote and are required to dip their finger in indelible ink to show they have voted and to avoid the possibility of voting twice. That works. But in Canada, we have to show our ID and our face to avoid voter fraud. It’s an accepted law that makes sense. The Winnipeg Free Press does so many things right. They have a huge paper by prairie city standards. It’s daily and full of news, features and advertising. It’s reasonably well printed and well distributed. They have a stable of writers. But they do so many things wrong, such as defending veils in public ceremonies. They also went on to defend drug dealers rights in the same editorial. The Winnipeg Free Press does their editorials by the board system. A group of writers write the

Ken Waddell daily dose of newspaper wisdom and guidance. That’s wrong as well. A newspaper should have an editor or editors and the respective person’s name should be attached to the editorial. The Winnipeg Free Press hides the writer’s identity behind the “editorial board”. That’s wrong. Put your name on it if you write it. To avoid putting your name on a column is tantamount to voting from behind a veil or a balaclava. I said that the Winnipeg Free Press has stable of writers. That’s another problem. It’s too stable, in several different ways. For one, it’s an old group of writers. Some of them are ancient in age and in viewpoint. Because of the union rules and the Winnipeg Free Press’s shrinking budget, they can’t add fresh, young writers to the stable. The old ones stick around and while they come up with some good stuff once in a while, they are pretty set in their ways. One writer in particular, while not old, is certainly set in his ways: Dan Lett. Ah Dan, how we know your predictability. Lett went through a bit of drought a few years back. When then premier, Gary Doer retired in 2009, Lett lost his main source of writing inspiration. Perhaps it was humorously stated but it was often spoken that Lett couldn’t release a column without the NDP war machine’s approval. It’s still somewhat that way. If Lett were ever to write a column favourable to any party but the NDP, or maybe the Liberals, the columns supporting the Free Press building might crumble.
Most, not all, but most of the Winnipeg Free Press writers are left wingers. They support the NDP with a dogged ferocity and occasionally will lean over the fence a bit to look at the Liberals. They won’t give the Conservatives’ view the time of day unless it’s to slam them. The Winnipeg Free Press has never been conservative. In the Mackenzie King era, which lasted decades in the 1920s-1940s, Prime Minister King wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning until he had had a phone call or a telegram from Dafoe, the long time editor of the Winnipeg Free Press. In summary, the Winnipeg Free Press is blatantly biased about anything that looks conservative. They use a method of editorial writing where the actual author is never really known. That allows a paper to assume a certain mystical persona where they can say, “In the opinion of the Winnipeg Free Press…”. That’s rubbish. Papers don’t have opinions, people do. You will never see an editorial or column in The Banner that doesn’t have a name attached to it. Since 1989, I have written over 1,300 editorials. Kate Jackman Atkinson has written over 300 and our names were attached to every one. Our other writers attach their names to articles and columns. It’s the right thing to do. We need to be vocal, visible and transparent. That’s something you can’t do hiding behind a veil, a balaclava or an editorial board.

Betting on the wrong horse
or the last decade, the Canadian government doubled down on the resource sector in general and the petroleum sector in particular. It wasn’t just the government investing though, the private sector and individuals across Canada rushed to Alberta to MY stake their claim in the PERSPECTIVE black gold rush. Investment in oil and gas was promotate ed as a way to ackman tkinson shore up the economy and help the country weather the last recession. It wasn’t a bad strategy; after all, oil was worth a lot and Canadian oil was highly regarded since it came from a stable, democratic country. As the government sought to reduce their overall costs, cuts were made to other areas of the economy, including agriculture. Canadian farmers were left largely to fend for themselves as cut backs to research and programs came into effect. For many farmers, it’s been a tough go over the last decade with depressed livestock prices and transportation challenges faced by crop producers. How the times have changed It seemed hard to believe a year ago, but oil is a cyclical industry. The problem is that all of this investment in oil has left us with eggs in very few other baskets. Today, oil is worth less than $50/barrel, half of what it was about a year ago. Many economists are expecting oil to remain cheap for a while. Oil companies are now feeling many of the challenges cattle producers experienced in the post BSE years. Additionally, the environmental impact of oil and gas development has begun to tarnish Canadian’s reputation. Oil is the golden child no more and I think Canadians bet on the wrong industry. Agriculture is a big part of the Canadian economy, more so than oil and gas. The Canadian agri-food industry employs 2.2 million Canadians and accounts for one in eight jobs. While many people are employed by the oil and gas sector, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, in 2014, the sector employed 149,000 people. When you add indirect employment, that number is doubled– still far less than those employed by the agricultural industry. Looking beyond our borders, Canada is also important to the world food market. According to Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada, Canada is the fifth largest agricultural exporter in the world and is the world's largest exporter of flaxseed, canola, pulses and durum wheat. Agriculture is a surprisingly diversified industry; from grain farmers, to livestock producers, to greenhouses, to processors, the sector is incredibly varied. Not only that, but many sectors offset one another, levelling out the industry as a whole. The industry is also spread across the country, with a presence from coast to coast. Farmers are also great for the economy, as money rarely stays in their pockets. While improved profits experienced by oil company result in some bonuses and some reinvestment, dividends mostly accrue to shareholders across the world and a few highly paid people at the top. When a farmer has a good year, they invest in local economies. They buy new tractors or vehicles or grain bins. They build new barns or shops or maybe do some work on the house. They buy more land or experiment with different crops or farming techniques. In other words, they spread the wealth and keep other local business going. All commodity markets are cyclical and whether it’s farming, oil and gas or housing, prices will rise and fall. The government can’t predict the future and would have been best to invest in things that all Canadians can use, than try to pick the winners and losers.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2015
Keep This week’s column addresses a recurring issue in federal elections—how does a responsible society care for the environment? Who has the best program to reduce waste, prevent pollution of the air and water and enable citizens to meet their needs without destroying the planet? The opening words of the previous sentence identify what, in my view, is the real problem. We are designing and debating programs when we should be going out and doing something to fix the problems that we, over the past few decades have helped to cause. The first thing we need to do is take this issue out of the hands of politicians. Their handing of environmental issues has proven one thing—take an issue, politicize it and you pollute it. There is nothing complicated about caring for the environment. We don’t need to spend millions of dollars on studies, conferences, negotiations and protocols. What we need is people who will obey the
the
Opinion place clean
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein one command our creator gave our first parents. “God planted a garden,” we read in Genesis 2:15; “took the man he had created and put him in the garden to till it and keep it.” If those events had taken place today, I think God would have said something like this: “Here it is. This is your new home. Keep the place clean and if you make a mess, clean it up!” This policy is easy to understand and can be applied to every Canadian regardless of age or sphere of influence. All we have to do is identify that part of the environment over which we have control— and then—keep it clean and if we make a mess, clean it up. We begin by teaching this principle at home. We teach our children that they are responsible for
their living space—their rooms. Keep them clean and if you make a mess, clean it up. We also teach them that, along with the rest of their family, they must work together to care for the living space they share. Keep it clean, and if you make a mess, clean it up. Those teachings are reinforced at school where students and teachers learn how to work together to care for their learning environment. Keep it clean and if you make a mess, clean it up. When those students graduate from college and enter the work force, they will do what they were taught to do at home and in school. Whatever their occupation and wherever they work, they will look for ways to apply the principles they were taught at
home and at school—keep your work place clean; and if you make a mess, clean it up. If, by chance, some of these people should get into government, they won’t waste time talking about the need to care for the environment. Members of the governing party will look for ways to work together with other politicians, business leaders, labor unions and our First Nations people to build a strong and sustainable economy that cares for the planet and its people. No longer will we worry about who has the best environmental program or who isn’t keeping his or her part of the latest treaty. Businesses will be able to grow. Farmers will be able to diversify their operations. Fossil fuels can be developed and pipelines can be built as long as those who do the work follow the rules—keep the place clean and if you make a mess, clean it up That’s how environmental responsibility started. I think it’s time we got back to that.
Adventures with friends These past few days have been the perfect fall days to get things done. I am deeply appreciative of the wonderful support network that surrounds me. This fall, as she has done for the past five falls, my friend from the Victoria area joined me. We have entertained numerous projects, some fun, some dangerous and some productive! Neither of us are likely to forget the fall we decided to lop the branch off the leaning maple tree. I was up a step ladder managing the chain saw, and my faithful friend was steps behind me, watching, and probably praying! As it would happen, the huge branch twisted, swung back at me, and the ladder and I collapsed. My friend caught me mid fall, chain saw still writhing happily along. I choose to hide the mangled ladder. Last year I wanted to be in the house
HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen with Ed more than I wanted to be outside. The project was re-shingling the roof that connects the home to the single car garage. My friend completed the task with minimum supervision. It is leak proof. This fall the project seemed to me as a massive one. The slab boards on the lower third on the east side of the shed have deteriorated. Badly. The goal was to remove the wood and replace it with metal cladding. Twenty some feet on the north side of the door, and close to forty feet on the south end. The taking off of said boards wasn’t too difficult.
Observation
By Addy Oberlin A few days after I came home from my travels I noticed that my dear little budgie bird was fighting for his life. He was old, very old . I believe that he lived more that 13 years. He finally gave up his fight. Even if it only is a bird I miss him. He is not there when I come in my office. No more squeaking and squawking to announce a sunny morning. I have loved animals since I was a
But the framing boards behind them also needed replacing. Thinking that through was interesting. Then it was expedient to add some insulation and wrap. The plan was to loosen the bottom of the sheeting that covers the top portion of the shed and simply insert the new ones beneath them. Metal cladding is not overly flexible! Our logic was solid. The plan worked. The shed looks infinitely better. And I will not have to paint it – ever again! What I do have to say is that ‘we’ appreciate the support of the local businesses. The two of
us, working women, were treated with respect and given sound advice and encouragement. In the lumber department and the hardware store. I appreciate that. Just as I appreciate the consideration offered when I take something as simple as a wheel barrow wheel to a tire shop and receive courteous and prompt service. I am ever grateful that I was raised as ‘the outside girl’. I love the challenge of working with a chainsaw, and wheelbarrow, or saws and measuring tape. Enjoy it much more than cooking, baking or cleaning, although I am moderately proficient at that work as well. I am ever grateful that Ed encouraged me to tackle whatever project I wanted, too often needing his help! And I am ever grateful for a friend who courageously walks with me on these adventures.

Our schools and a changing community Canada is a country of immigrants. People who were born here had their parents, grandparents, great grandparents immigrate here from another country. Those ancestors came here for a better future for their children. They moved to Canada to escape poverty, social and religious persecution or corrupt governments. When they came, life was not easy. Even though there were incentives such as free land or jobs, they had to overcome cultural differences, weather and poor living conditions. While their lives were hard, our ancestors saw that their children could prosper and become Canadians with a future. We are fortunate to witness history repeating itself in some of our communities today. Hopefully we have learned from our past and will not repeat some of history's mistakes. We have immigrants moving into our communities for a better life for their children. They are experiencing culture and climate differences. They are working at new and difficult jobs. Their hope is to give their children a chance to become prosperous Canadian citizens who will give back to the community that accepted them. Our responsibility as Canadians is to accept and welcome the newcomers into the community and treat them as we hope our ancestors were treated. This openness and respect for culture needs to be reciprocated. We all share in the success of the communities in which we live. We have the responsibility to respect and be empathetic towards our fellow citizens. Although we may originate from different parts of the world, we are all important to our communities through the different roles we play. It is only through understanding one another and working together that our communities will thrive. Our schools are an ideal place for this collaboration to occur. Canadian children can become mentors to the new students to welcome them and encourage them to take part in Canadian activities. All students should be encouraged to join school groups and teams and they should take advantage of all the opportunities available whether it is the choir, the soccer team or the student council. We should consider ourselves fortunate to have schools that are thriving and growing. Many rural divisions with declining enrolments are cutting staff and programming options for students We are adding programming and staff in our schools, our businesses are busy and our economy is not suffering. Whether it is on our streets or in our classrooms all citizens of our communities need to socialize and interact with an understanding that we may be different but with diversity comes the richness of our Canadian identity. Mutual learning can take place with both cultures gaining knowledge and acceptance. Our community is not big enough or strong enough to have separate groups. Both long time Canadians and new immigrants need to work together to create a vibrant community and country. Board of Trustees BPSD

Volkswagen’s not so ‘clean diesel’
accredited Complete Autobody Repairs and Painting
Neepawa 204-476-3589 PHOTO COURTESY OF CARICOS.COM
About 11 million Volkwagen cars were found to have computer code to fool emissions testing equipment. By Neils Mack The Neepawa Banner Tail pipe emissions are a big deal, we know this because everywhere we look, new hybrid models and new electric cars are being announced. This is actually great news, since electric motors offer so much power and efficiency and ask almost nothing in return for fuel costs. However, we are often skeptical. As Manitobans, we push our cars beyond their tested limits without even thinking. When your vehicle sits outside in a -50°C day, we start it up without a second thought. We do this day after day, year after year. Automakers might have tested this for a week or two, but this is our day-today lives here. So when a new, unproven technology shows up, you can’t really blame the skeptics. So how do we get more for less while playing it safe? We know this answer well, it’s diesel motors. Diesel fuel is more energy dense than gasoline and the engine it’s burnt in is more effective at turning that energy into motion efficiently. The Germans have been doing this for years, diesel burning Mercedes, BMW, Audi and VW models have
been around much longer than I have. A few years back, with some extremely careful driving, a VW Passat went 2,600 km on a single tank of diesel. As far as efficiency in an internal combustion engine goes, diesel is pretty much the pinnacle. That’s not the end of the story though, diesels need sophisticated exhaust cleaning systems because the untreated tail pipe emissions are very dirty. Automakers have done their due diligence and engineered their way out of this problem creating clean diesels. That’s what we’ve been lead to believe, anyhow. It turns out that in the case of Volkswagen, their catch phrase should be “insidious diesels”. The Volkswagen 2.0 litre, four cylinder turbo diesel engine that they have been using from 2009 to current was built with a few software tricks up its sleeve. When a car is emissions tested, it is plugged into a computer that runs it through its paces. A clever VW employee programmed
“
the car to be extra clean and green when it detected it was being emissions tested. Not unlike during a test when your school teacher walked past and you hid the answers written inside your hand from their view. When the VW TDI was out of the school teacher’s view, it suddenly became a polluting maniac. The 2.0 TDI models, when unplugged, exceed the allowed amounts of pollutants by as much as 40 times! If you have a Jetta, Golf, Beetle, Passat or Audi A3 TDI between the years of 2009 and current, you can rethink your “Clean Diesel” statement. Volkswagen has yet to announce a solution to the problem. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, CEO of VW has said that he is “deeply sorry” and that VW will “fully cooperate” with EPA and will work “with transparency and urgency” to investigate the matter. Volkswagen has pulled all traces of diesel off of their website and social media. It’s like it never existed! They’ve even removed their SUV, the 3.0

litre diesel Touareg, which makes me wonder if it’s a cheat too. You can no longer go to VW and purchase a diesel car at this point in time. Initially it was said that 482,000 vehicles would be effected, but Volkwagen has admitted that up to 11 million vehicles have this software installed. This would include models like the Porsche Cayenne Diesel and Audi A7, A6, A8, Q7 and Q5 TDI. The company saw huge stock depreciation the day after this was discovered – a loss of up to $16 billion in value. They are potentially facing up to that much in fines for the cars as well, as EPA can fine $37,500 per vehicle. The emissions tests may be tough, but everyone else seems to have passed them no sweat. Maybe a shake-up in the efficient technology wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Corruption seems to happen when people are not kept on their toes. It will take months to settle this ordeal and longer for VW to recover. Mercedes chose the same day to announce it will be focusing on plug in hybrid models over developing new diesels. It’s hard to cheat emissions when a car is running on hydro.

Civic: still Canada’s best-selling car PHOTO COURTESY OF WWW.SOUTHBAYHONDA.COM
By Ben Castle The Banner 66,057. That’s how many Canadians bought a new Honda Civic in 2014. The Civic has been Canada’s best-selling car for the last 17 years, as well as the third best-selling vehicle overall last year. Its closest competitor in terms of sales, Hyundai’s Elantra, was only able to muster a relatively paltry 50,420 sales in 2014. The Civic has become the car to beat in the compact class and it has always led the way in terms of reliability, quality, value and low running costs. However, in the last five years, the competition has raised its game considerably and we now have a number of competitively-priced compacts that offer — on paper — better power and efficiency, six-speed gearboxes and the option of more practical hatchback body styles. So does the Civic still stand scrutiny? A test car supplied by Forman Honda in Brandon was the mid-range EX model sedan with a fivespeed manual transmission which costs $20,950
before taxes. It features a 1.8-litre 16-valve engine with 143 horsepower and 129 pound-feet of torque. Honda claims fuel economy of 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres highway or 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres if you opt for the more efficient CVT automatic transmission for an extra $1,300. The EX model has a highlevel of specification including 16-inch aluminum wheels, automatic climate control, auto lights, leather-trimmed steering wheel, heated front seats, power moonroof, nearside blindspot camera, keyless start and rearview camera. If you can live without
these features, as well as air conditioning and cruise control, the mechanically identical entry-level DX model (manual transmission only) can be had for a more competitive $15,750. In practice, during my test drive, I achieved an average of eight litres per 100 kilometres in mixed driving and a best of 5.7 litres per 100 kilometres on an extended highway journey, which was very impressive! The dashboard features a two-tier setup with a digital readout for the speedometer on the top tier and an analogue rev counter on the lower tier. This setup gives the inter-
be looking at 10,000-plus kilometre service intervals, which means the car is off the road for less time and benefits the environment and your wallet! The interior features soft-touch plastics, is sol-
idly built and feels like it will stay durable for many years. The driving position is low-slung and very comfortable and the low dashboard means good visibility. Continued on page 10

Due to a flat floor in the rear, the Civic sedan will seat five adults comfortably, but it has to be said that some rivals offer more legroom and at 353 litres, the trunk, although usefully-shaped, lacks the depth and capacity of others in its class. Perhaps not a deal breaker, but something to consider if this is your main family vehicle. If you really enjoy driving though, then the Civic is still well worth a look. Despite the rather modest power and torque figures, the Civic, at 1,283 kilograms, is the lightest car in its class and the engine is a gem. Unlike a lot of non-performanceoriented units, it is happy to be revved to the limiter and is both smooth and refined. The five-speed manual transmission also has rifle-bolt precision, which makes it one of the nicest gearboxes I have ever had the pleasure to use. Civic also offers something that is relatively rare in this class: multilink rear suspension, a feature only available on a few other competitors. This lends the Civic real precision and agility in its steering and a smooth and quiet ride, even on gravel. The only downside to this setup is a bit less stability in slippery conditions, but the standard stability control should keep any wayward behaviour in check! There will be a new 2016 10th generation Civic out next year featuring, for the first time, a range of turbocharged engines; however, despite not being the most modern compact in its class, the current Civic still delivers on its strong reputation whilst also offering one of the best drives in its class and excellent value. The EX model offers the nicest combination of features and value, but as the lowlier LX model only really does without the aluminum wheels and moonroof,and is available from $18,550, that would be my current pick of the range.

Run
raises
$7,500
By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner About 65 people took to the streets of Neepawa on Sunday, Sept. 20, to be a part of the annual Terry Fox Run. Local run coordinator Kelly Krzyzaniak said $7,500 was brought in from the day, which raises money for cancer research and celebrates the memory of Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. That result is on par with what was raised in 2014. Krzyzaniak said that the weather was ideal and helped with the overall enthusiasm of the participants. “The day was beautiful and everyone had a great time. And the money raised was a good result for a town of this size,” noted Krzyzaniak. This was the 35th year of the run. To date, more than $650 million has been raised globally for cancer research in Fox’s name.

The Game’s Afoot in Minnedosa this fall Submitted The Neepawa Banner Are you a fan of live theatre? We’re coming back! If you love a ‘whodunit’, and also love to laugh, then mark your calendars and get ready for the Minnedosa Drama Club’s latest undertaking, The Game’s Afoot. Written by Tony award winner Ken Ludwig, this comedy thriller won the award for best play in the 2012 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allen Poe Awards. Set in December 1936 in the Connecticut castle of Broadway star William Gillette, the twists and turns of this mystery
thriller/farce will have you following clues along with Gillette, who assumes the persona of his most famous role, Sherlock Holmes, when one of his weekend house guests is stabbed to death. Can he figure out who the killer is before the next victim appears? Can you? Posters are going up and things are well underway for this pre-Christmas event. After an initial readthrough, rehearsals began Sept. 9 and will continue twice a week until the curtain rises for three nights at the end of November. Once again, a no frills night will be offered to those who wish only to see the play, to
be followed by two nights of dinner and a play. The community support for past productions by the drama club has been nothing short of fantastic – from an increasing number of those auditioning, to others eager to help out both back stage and up front with dinner preparations, to those who come to watch. Tickets go on sale in October, so be sure to get yours early and avoid missing out on this hilarious and thrilling alternative to your standard holiday entertainment.

Neepawa Natives shift focus onto regular season By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The Neepawa Natives are putting the finishing touches on its lineup for the start of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League regular season. The club begins the year on Friday, Sept. 25 in Dauphin. The first home game at the Yellowhead Centre is on the following night, also against the Dauphin Kings. Natives head coach Jim Fuyarchuk said they’ll likely be taking to the ice over the weekend with a few players still recovering from pre-season injuries. “There are a few bumps and bruises that we are dealing with. These types of things are expected as the intensity of the exhibition season goes on. All the teams narrowed down their lineups and it made for better games,” noted Fuyarchuk. “Overall, I don’t

Coach Jim Fuyarchuk ran the players through a high tempo practice on T u e s d a y, S e p t . 2 2 , i n p r e p a r a t i o n s f o r t h e s t a r t o f t h e M J H L r e g u l a r s e a s o n think we’re in a bad situation, physically. We’re just waiting for some confirmation on a couple players to find out their status. During the final pre-season games against
Winkler, I know that Josh Blondeau took a bad check from behind. We’re just waiting for him to heal up and get a few stitches out. We remain hopeful that, by the opening weekend, he’ll
be ready to go. As well, John McCammon recently took a knock to the nose and has a broken nose. He’s having a little bit of difficulty breathing, but he’ll be up and going for the start
of the season. Other than that, we have just a few minor bumps and bruises a few players are dealing with, but nothing that is significant.” Fuyarchuk added that
despite dealing with a few minor injuries, the Natives will still be able to ice a very skilled roster, it’s only a case of the players finding that right chemistry with their linemates. “We’re still assessing our hockey club and exactly where our strengths are. Heading into the regular season, we are on a steep learning curve and we need to learn in a hurry how to play together. As a team, we need to be prepared and a lot of that has to be done in practice. The start of the season is going to be very hectic, with the MJHL Showcase [in Winnipeg] and our game in Carberry [on Friday, Oct. 9], I’m confident however, that we’ve assembled a good group of players who are focused during practice and are getting things together.”

be a very competitive season,” said Davis. “Who knows who’s going to be the top team this year — it could very well be a different team — but who knows?” Davis then spoke of teams losing players to American teams, and receiving only cash back - often times only a fraction of what they might fetch if traded to a Canadian team. But due to international agreements between Canada and the United States, there’s little that can be done by Davis. But he notes the MJHL prides itself of developing players for other levels of hockey and that aiding players in their goals is part of what junior A hockey is all about. “Ultimately, our league supports players in their choice to play where they feel is best for them,” said Davis. “Obviously at the local level they want to have the best team, but at the end of the day, teams exist to provide opportunities to players to advance. “And some moves don’t seem to make sense because they don’t seem like advancement, but if that’s the path the player chooses, we have to respect and support that.” Davis adds he knows this is frustrating for teams and the league. The commissioner said the MJHL will also continue to raise the profile of the league through sponsorship opportunities and try to build off a year where the MJHL was most definitely in the spotlight. “It’s one of those things where you have to do something every year,” said Davis. “We’re also going to continue to reach out to potential players, meeting with them and their parents, and offering camps in the spring. This will be more of a continuation of what we’ve already begun in helping to build the brand of this league.”
213. Men’s High Triple : Len Pritchard 576. Ladies
By Derek Holtom MJHL Media Release On the eve of the 2015-2016 Manitoba Junior Hockey League season, Commissioner Kim Davis took time to talk about the season that was, and the season that is to come. He also offered his observations on players leaving the MJHL for other leagues, including players leaving for American teams, resulting in some major holes for some teams to fill. Looking back on last year, Davis said he was impressed with how competitive teams were in a year where Portage loaded up for their RBC Cup run and offered his praise to the Terriers for finally bringing a national championship back to Manitoba. “The season was a very good one throughout the regular season and playoffs,” said Davis. “Portage seemed to march through the playoffs, but the games I saw were tough games to win. “And the biggest thing to me in regard to the results was that I was just so happy for the players in Portage,” he added. “And more generally for the coaches and the organization, but my first thought was how happy I was for the players who played such great hockey throughout the playoffs and to win a national championship is the pinnacle of what they can achieve in the sport at this level.” Looking ahead, with no team hosting a Western Canada Cup or the RBC Cup (as has been the case in recent seasons), Davis is expecting all teams to enter the season with thoughts on winning a championship. “I’ve talked with a few coaches in the league in the past few weeks and almost all of them expect this will

New facility has been ‘logical next step’ for Kulbacki Seeds By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner Recently, Neepawa area Kulbacki Seeds added a new soybean facility to their company. The development was finished and functioning in the beginning of May. “It’s a state of the art, continuous flow seed treating facility,” said Chris Kulbacki, co-owner of Kulbacki Seeds. “It allows us to quickly and accurately treat our customers’ beans.” The upgrade cost over $400,000 in total. “It seemed like the logical next step as the soybean acreage starts to grow,” said Kulbacki. Soybeans have been grown more and more in the area over the past five or six years. Farmers started growing them to break up the wheat and canola rotation in their fields. Having a crop rotation is important to prevent plant diseases from spreading and to prevent the depletion of certain nutrients in the soil. Over the past few years, large seed corporations have been developing a soybean variety that has a shorter maturing time; this makes the crop more suitable for Manitoba’s shorter growing season. Farmers are finding soybeans to be much more durable than they originally assumed. “Soybeans do handle the wetter weather better than some of the traditional crops we’ve been growing,” explained Kulbacki. “For guys that had some very waterlogged fields they’ve been struggling with, soybeans have been an excellent fit.” Another advantage is that they don’t need to be swathed, which saves farmers time during harvest. Having a continuous flow seed treating facility allows Kulbacki Seeds to be more flexible in providing seeds to their customers. They treat the seed as it’s needed, so if a customer wants more or less than they originally thought, they can treat only the
amount that they know they need. The five bin storage system allows for multiple varieties to be stored at the facility. There are different kinds of seeds, such as the earlier maturing seed, and depending on when and where the farmer wants to seed, they may need to use different varieties. Having multiple varieties on site allows Kulbacki Seeds to efficiently supply their customers with the kinds they need as soon as they need them. “Speed
and efficiency are very important to our customers at seeding time,” explained Kulbacki. “Their window to get things done is very small and this allows us to very efficiently keep them going.” Kulbacki Seeds has been running as an agent for Dupont Pioneer since 2009 under the co-ownership of Chris and his brother Darryl. They are both farmers so they understand the

Election 2015:
The economy
Question: Many Canadians are concerned about uncertainty in the Canadian and world economies. What does your party plan to do to help the Canadian economy weather the storm? Are there any changes to the Canadian economy your party would like to see? INTERVIEWS HAVE BEEN EDITED FOR LENGTH AND CLARITY.
Name: Ray Piché Party: Liberal Party of Canada Home: Onanole The Liberal Party of Canada has put forward a three-point plan for the Canadian economy. This plan will create jobs with the most significant infrastructure investment in Canadian history – almost $60 billion in new funding over the next 10 years. The plan will grow the middle class by raising taxes on the wealthiest one per cent and cutting taxes for middle class Canadians. The Liberals will also help those working to join the middle class by investing in essential social infrastructure, including affordable
housing and child care, as well as providing more money to help families with the high cost of raising their kids. I’d really like to make the comment that our party is proposing to go into modest deficit [to fund this plan], and would like to put “modest” into capital letters. We have no intention of putting this country in a bad position. We will go into modest deficit for two or three years and then balance the budget. The reason for that is so that we can invest in our country today, now. Interest rates are low, it’s a good time to do it. That’s why we want to do it today. We don’t want to backload and make all these promises that we’re going to do in four years, we want to do it now. That’s part of creating jobs, helping infrastructure and moving forward in our economy.
Name: Robert Sopuck Party: Conservative Party of Canada Home Sandy Lake
Name: Laverne Lewycky Party: NDP Home: Dauphin
The Canadian economy is stronger than other countries’ but it is fragile and needs to be protected. The economy is our number one priority, that’s why we have a low-tax, balanced budget plan to protect our fragile economy. The wrong government decision on taxes, spending or deficits can upset our fragile economy, causing business closures, downsizing and job loss in our communities. Our fragile economy is our number one priority. With a $5 billion surplus so far this year, we’re pursuing a low-tax, balanced budget plan to protect Canadian jobs and growth in the face of global uncertainty. And our debt to gross domestic product (GDP) ratio is the lowest in the industrialized world. The Liberals announced they will run multibillion deficits. They will also raise taxes to pay for their promises. Their deficits and tax hikes will leave our fragile economy exposed, cost you money and risk your job. The NDP is promising billions in new spending with no plan to pay for it. Taxes will have to go up and that will expose our fragile economy, cost you money and risk your job. Canada has a $5 billion surplus so far this year with a balanced budget law. Our long-term Economic Action Plan that has created 1.3 million new jobs since the depths of the global financial crisis. There have been $6,600 in tax cuts per family since the Conservatives were first elected and a formal pledge for no new taxes. We are committed to a permanent Home Renovation Tax Credit, save the monthly child care cheques and maintain income splitting for families and seniors. We have a tremendous track record in terms of opening new markets for Canadian products which is especially important for agricultural and forestry communities which depend on exports. We intend to continue expanding access for our goods and services. It is essential that Canada maintain an economic climate that encourages investment and job creation and the record shows that we have been effective at doing so. We will continue our policy of responsible resource development to encourage our natural resources sector, which is especially important for rural communities.
Canadians of all ages have experienced a decade of drought under Harper regarding their finding a good, secure job. Youth today have 60,000 fewer jobs than when Harper first took office. Thousands of young Canadians are unemployed and the economic recovery has by-passed them. They will have lower wages for the rest of their lives. To alleviate their situation, NDP will introduce a $15/hour minimum wage. Over 200,000 more Canadians are jobless now than before the 2008 recession. A total of 1.3 million people are unemployed. Harper Conservatives have handed tens of billions of dollars in tax breaks to large corporations, with no conditions attached instead of supporting job-creating small businesses. Before the Conservatives, the Liberals, through a dozen years of majority governments, rubber-stamped thousands of foreign takeovers that shipped quality jobs overseas. Tom Mulcair’s concrete plan is to bring more good jobs to Canada, to kickstart the manufacturing sector and to create opportunities for youth. The NDP would cut the small business tax rate from 11 to 9 per cent. This sector of our economy creates 78 per cent of all new private sector jobs in Canada. [As discussed last week,] by partnership with small business, industry, NGOs and government, 40,000 young Canadians could get jobs, paid internships or co-op placements. The NDP plan will provide municipalities with stable, predictable federal infrastructure funding to support their long-term needs. The NDP will increase direct transfers to municipalities to build and repair roads, bridges and transit with an additional $1.5 billion annually by the end of the NDP’s first mandate. The NDP will work with, not against, provinces and territories to ensure effective investments while rigorously respecting their jurisdiction. By year four, the NDP’s plan will create 54,000 construction, manufacturing and transit operations jobs across the country and add $4.5 billion to Canada’s GDP annually.
Name: Kate Storey Party: Green Party of Canada Home: Grandview During the last global downturn, [Canada] was insulated to a degree. For quite some time, our economy had all its eggs in the oil basket. But we can’t have that singular focus and expect our economy to be strong enough to weather the global storm. Canada has resources and an educated, innovative workforce. We had sensible monetary policies, but have stepped away from that approach in recent years. We need to go back to that way of thinking. Diversify. We need to stop exporting all those unrefined resources and commodities and start adding value to those materials. We can export. Trade is good, but let’s export a finished product and not the raw material. That way, the jobs for production stay here in Canada. This is just a common sense approach. With the current state of the oil industry, Canadians are paying high prices for gas, but large portions are being shipped and sold off internationally. The Green Party would end the subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. We know [the oil sector] is not going anywhere, anytime soon. We could redistribute and invest into alternate energies. A clean energy economy is better able to deal will global instability. Even if you don’t get off the need for fossil fuels, the diversity ensures your economy is less vulnerable. The Green Party is not saying “Abandon the tar sands” We’re just saying that we must use the tar sand responsibly. Eventually, we may not need them, but while we do need them, let’s proceed in a responsible manner. Let’s refine that bitumen here, instead of shipping pipelines full of a highly volatile material that can’t be cleaned up all the way from Alberta to the east coast or by rail, which is even worse. Let’s not export it all. Let’s refine it here. The pipeline is not the best option. There are 190 jobs on the pipeline, all the way from Alberta down to the east coast. That’s not very many jobs. We could create way more jobs with the same investment reimagined.
Name: Inky Mark Party: Independent Home: Dauphin
The world economy is at the brink of bankruptcy. This has been happening over many decades. The money folks have victimized the hard-working citizens of the world. We bailed them out with trillions of public dollars. That is why the 1 per cent are billionaires and the middle class has almost disappeared. Governments are supposed to govern for the people, but that is not the case. Main-stream parties have always governed for the rich and 85 per cent of Canadians support taxing the rich and the corporations. The economy can only improve for the average citizen when governments begin governing for the people, like stopping foolish wasteful spending, looking after our health care, reducing taxes for
the middle class, making CPP and OAS tax free, going to a two tier tax system and looking at basic guaranteed income to eliminate the welfare system for all. Canada needs a Pharma Care program. I believe we can operate with a small deficit over the next four years without increasing the national debt. We cannot keep signing trade agreements that give away our resources at wholesale prices and get little return. It’s time for governments to start governing for the people and not their rich friends.

Clara Eleanor Fischer The fifth child of Rudolf and Elizabeth Hanke, Clara was born on the Fletcher farm, NE 17-16-4, in the R.M. of Westbourne. After leaving home, she worked for a short time in Winnipeg before marrying George on Oct. 3, 1942. Their first home was in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec where their first child, Ronald, was born. They moved back to Plumas the following year and began farming. Three more children were born in Plumas; Melvin, Dennis Richard, and Wendy.

Besides being a long-time director of the Plumas Fair, for over 50 years she entered in the baking, canning, and flower competitions. She also enjoyed reading, singing in the church choir, playing bingo, and going to watch the Blue Jays and curling briers with her siblings. In later years, she was an ardent t.v. fan of the Blue Jays and curling. She was a member of Plumas United Church and Plumas Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary #189. Clara resided independently in her own home until 2007 when she chose to move into Village View. She was admitted to Neepawa Hospital following a slight stroke in March, 2014. That June, she moved to Country Meadows Personal Care Home in Neepawa where she has resided until her passing. She is survived by her three children; Ron, Mel (Marlene), and Wendy (Claire), 7 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren, 3 sisters, 2 brothers, 7 sisters-inlaw, 4 brothers-in-law, many nieces and nephews, 1 aunt and several cousins.
