Big decisions facing NACTV board as station prepares for the future By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner On Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 7:00 pm, Neepawa Access Community Television (NACTV) will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the back room of the Neepawa Public Library. The community is invited to come and support NACTV and learn about the plans and concerns for the coming year. NACTV is a non-profit organization run by a volunteer board. The station
runs on volunteers to create and broadcast programs and events that go on in Neepawa and the surrounding area. The station is broadcast on air in Neepawa and about 15 miles surrounding the town; it is also carried by MTS across Manitoba and Bell Express Vu across Canada. Bill Gade, the board chair for NACTV said that the main focus of the AGM will be to elect a new board. Anyone who has volunteered for NACTV in the past year is eligible to sit on the board; volunteers are
also eligible to vote at the meeting. “Having said that - we welcome anyone who isn’t already a volunteer to observe at the AGM,” added Gade. “It can be a great way to learn about the opportunities available to be a bigger part of the station.” Ivan Traill, station manager of NACTV said that they don’t have a full board as of now. They hope to have lots of support and interest in the station this year so that they can fill the board. “We’re hoping to have an AGM whereby people who are interested
in helping NACTV, interested in seeing it change and move, will come out to the AGM and show their support for us and maybe even stand for the board,” said Traill. He noted that after the AGM is over, they plan to hold a board meeting to induct the new members and to set their next board meeting. The issue of where the station is to be located will also be discussed at the meeting. The Resource Centre, where they currently rent space is owned by the Town of Neepawa,
but is going up for sale. They have several options regarding their location, including buying their current space if they can afford it. “The board has shown a lot of vision in wanting to keep what we have but also exploring other options in case an agreement can’t be made. After the AGM, that work will continue,” said Gade. No matter what they decide, there will be a cost involved so it is not a decision to take lightly. “We have to know that we have community support before we go into debt to make a
move,” explained Traill. The hope is that as many people from the community as possible come to the meeting so that NACTV can get more volunteers to keep it going. “It’s really the volunteers who make NACTV possible,” Gade said. “Without them, there wouldn’t be a TV station in Neepawa.” Traill and Gade noted there are many different ways to get involved. “All you have to do is offer, we’ll take you,” Traill said.

Jeff Kirk began his career with Canada Post in the village of Riding Mountain, under the leadership of Pat Dinsdale. He was willing to relocate and embraced new communities, purchasing a home, creating an oasis. Kirk worked and resided at Onanole, Reston, Melita and Erickson. He was always professional, loved travel and music and collected local history books. He was kind and had a wonderful sense of humour. While working at one of his postings, an elderly gentleman, suffering from tremors, re-entered the post office, approached Jeff, and confessed he had just rammed Jeff’s car out in the parking lot. Never at a loss for words, Jeff looked up and answered –”well, isn’t that lovely!”. No sarcasm, just no other response at the ready! Kirk loved the communities in which he worked. After his death, several centres were notified that they were the recipients of generous bequests. Riding Mountain Cemetery (R.M. of Rosedale), Reston Memorial Park (R.M. of Pipestone), Neepawa Beautiful Plains Museum and the Neepawa Margaret Laurence Home began dreaming of how to best utilize the gift. The Killarney Foundation manages the funds for the Town of Erickson and the R.M. of Clanwilliam. Reston Memorial Park designated a pathway project. This path provides
safe wheelchair mobility and a place for children to learn to ride their bikes. The Margaret Laurence Home is planning repairs to the front porch and interior improvements, hoping to update to the point where the home could house a writer in residence. The Neepawa Beautiful Plains Museum is planning an expansion to their facility and trusting that this gift will be a seed start. Kirk’s early years and family ties were in the Humerston Siding and his wishes request recognition of the Siding and Irvine School. Jeff Kirk, March 18, 1961 – December 3, 2012, was a forward thinker and his gifts are much appreciated.

This soup adds zip to the squash and is great for cool fall days. Oven baked squash 1 squash, cut in half 1 tsp. grated orange rind
1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. Mrs. Dash
2 tsp. melted butter 1 tsp. red wine vinegar

Repeated failures A
recent internet presentation by a speaker suggested that in the first half of the 1900s, Facism rose up and 50 million people died as a result before it was defeated. The speaker included Fascism in Italy, Nazism in Germany and the madness that consumed Japan in the 1930s and 40s. In the mid to later part of the 1900s, Communism rose up and before it faded from favour, 100 million people died. The next “ism”, the presenter maintains is radical Islam. Whether he’s correct or not I guess remains to be seen. It’s obvious that the world is being shaken by effects of the radical Islam movements. The refugees created from that turmoil has even become an election issue in Canada. I suspect no country will be exempt from the tidal wave of refugees. The common thread among all three of these movements is that the so-called left wing element of our society have been promoters of the movements at the outset. Fascism was hailed initially as a great thing. It reformed Italy, Germany and Japan. What the promoters didn’t initially notice is that individual rights were trampled by the state or the movement or both. Anyone who objected to the movements were first ridiculed, then marginalized, jailed or in many cases killed. The underlying threat is that whenever one person or group of people gets to oppress someone else, the end result is never good. And so it is today. Political correctness has gone way
RIGHT IN THE CENTRE
Ken Waddell overboard. You can’t criticize anything or anyone unless it falls into a pre-approved category set up by left wingers. Capitalism is fair game for criticism as the left wingers maintain that anyone who makes money must be corrupt or cheating on their taxes. The Christian church is fair game for criticism, and so is it’s partner, Judaism. What the left wingers want is for the state to have control of just about everything. State ownership of businesses, of education, of our kids. Yes, our kids. Just try to raise your kids in a manner different that the prescribed and approved norm and you will be ridiculed. You have to put you kids in day care, you have to have both parents working, you have to have your kids in nursery school, in prekindergarten and in the public school system. Actually you don’t, but you will be scorned if you don’t. With Fascism, Nazism, Communism and radical Islamism, the state pretty much controls everything and everybody. It hasn’t worked out all that well as evidenced by the death toll from Fascism and Communism. It doesn’t appear to be working
all that well for radical Islamism. Here’s the perfect test of any state or political system. It’s a very simple test. Are the people staying or leaving and if they are leaving, are they leaving because they want to or because they have to? Are they just fearing for their economic well being or are they fleeing for their lives? That’s a pretty good test of how effectively a country is providing an environment for people to grow and thrive. Obviously, there are countries that people want to be in and countries that people want to leave. The United States, Canada and many European countries are destinations of choice. They are also the countries that are currently doing the best job of allowing individual freedom, where people can invest in their own future, be it economically, culturally or spiritually. So the next time someone tries to tell you how good things are under a certain system, take a close look at the eyes of the people currently under that system. You will be able to see their desires and their fears and you will have your answer.
“
The underlying threat is that whenever one person or group of people gets to oppress someone else, the end result is never good.

Looking forward, looking back
ast week, new signage for the Neepawa Press went up on the Neepawa Banner building in Neepawa. The move had us looking back into the Neepawa Press’ archives, something we acquired with the purchase of the paper. The Neepawa Press first MY began publishPERSPECTIVE ing in 1896 and its archives provide a glimpse into the area’s history. Tragedy ate and triumph, ackman tkinson the paper was there to cover the area’s happenings and that record is forever preserved. This is one the very unique and interesting aspects of newspapers. Once printed, there are no revisions, the past is forever documented. Moving the signage got us looking into papers from 1932, the year the Neepawa Press building was built. There was even a special feature highlighting the modern technology incorporated in the new building. While the technology proudly celebrated in the 1932 special feature is no longer in use, other aspects of the paper haven’t fundamentally changed. Today, newspapers continue to publish the news, views and issues important to the region. It seemed timely, our adventure into the Press’ archives coincides with national newspaper week, which is being celebrated across the country from Oct. 4 to 10. There’s no denying that it has been a tough decade for media as a whole, but we are seeing newspapers come out of this decade of turmoil and restructuring leaner and more focused. We now have a better understanding of what we do and how we provide value to readers and advertisers. Today, we are seeing the convergence of media on the internet. Whether you prefer to read your news, listen to it or watch it, you can follow you favourite media outlet online or on social media. This convergence has increased competition and brought media and readers closer. Today, readers can comment on stories and connect with reporters and new organizations like never before and news from within the community is much more accessible to those living elsewhere. Media tells the stories of the people and this democratization is a good thing. The interesting thing is that 10 years ago, many proclaimed that print would be dead within the decade, but it hasn’t happened and I don’t think it will. There is something about print that readers enjoy and connect with, even if they consume media in other ways as well. It isn’t just newspapers, but hard copy books are proving resilient too. Despite sales of e-readers rapidly rising, digital book sales have slowed sharply. According to the Association of American Publishers, e-book sales fell by 10 per cent in the first five months of 2015 and the sale of digital books has held steady at about 20 per cent of the market for last few years. In much the same way that independent papers have better weathered the storm, the digital revolution has helped create a healthier independent book store industry. The American Booksellers Association, a not-for-profit trade organization that works to help independently owned bookstore, reported 1,712 member stores in 2,227 locations in 2015. Five years ago they had 1,410 members in 1,660 locations. No one expects this market structure to be temporary and publishers have begun reinvesting in print infrastructure and distribution networks. For example, Penguin Random House is betting on hard copy book sales, they invested close to $100 million in speeding up distribution and expanding and updating warehouses. The last decade has taught us that the newspaper industry can never stand still. Today, no industry can. While we hope our readers will celebrate National Newspaper Week with us, we will continue to tell the stories of our region and keep readers informed as they look to the future, and the past.

Caring for people — the principle
I
n last week’s column, I suggested a simple strategy to help us look after the planet. In a caring society, we take personal responsibility for how we relate to the environment around us. We do all we can to keep the place clean and if we make a mess, we clean it up. Today we tackle the thorny question of how we look after the people on the planet. How does a caring society look after its citizens and what role does government play in the process? This question is easy to answer—in fact, deciding how to care for people is as easy as deciding how we should care for the planet. All we have to do is follow a principle that has been with us for over 2000 years; but that works as well today as it did when it was first written down. The principle is found in two quotations from St. Paul’s letter to the Galatians. “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) “For all must carry their
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein own loads.” (Galatians 6:5) These verses help us pinpoint the fine line that separates individual responsibility from our duty as a society to care for the needy. Personal responsibility is the foundation of caring. “We must carry our own load.” For example, my wife and I own a home. We have mortgage payments, utility payments and regular expenses for food, clothing, home repairs, transportation and vehicle maintenance. We are responsible for these bills. We cannot (and we do not) expect anyone to pay them for us. And so far, nobody has offered to do that. They are our responsibility. They are “the load” that we must (and do) carry. We also benefit from services that we, as a society, work together to provide.
Our children were educated in public schools. We have access to quality health care. We drive on good roads and our home is served by municipal water and sewer systems. We pay taxes on our income, on goods and services we purchase and on our property. These revenues help cover the costs of the services mentioned above. By working together and each paying a portion of the cost, we are able to provide services for our community that none of us could afford to provide for ourselves. We still carry “our load;” but we carry it in partnership with other citizens in our community. But we have a soft spot in our hearts for those who suddenly find themselves in need. We know how they feel—we’ve been there and done that. When Kathryn
had her stroke and we were making several trips a week to Winnipeg for Outpatient Therapy, we received three monetary gifts that helped us cover those costs. They weren’t much, but they were what we needed at the time and we continue to be grateful for the help we received in our time of need. Those who gave us these gifts were “burden bearers.” They helped us meet needs we incurred through no fault of our own. That’s what a caring society does. We do not take on costs that are the personal responsibilities of others. But when people have emergency needs (due to health problems, tragedies, job losses, etc.) we become “burden bearers.” We provide financial and other aid to meet emergency needs. But we do not do it forever. When they can “carry their load,” the “burden bearing” ends. Next week—how do we care for the weak and vulnerable among us?
Slowing down to see the sights
I
t was unusual, but I was up and about at six of the am. Twice! One morning it was to have breakfast with my friend before she headed to the city to catch her flight. And then, the very next morning, it was to start my studies. Do you know how dark it is at six? The full moon was still casting shadows. By seven I was out of the house and heading down the road. The quiet beauty was inspiring. Flickering streetlights and dancing stars, in the distance, clouds caught on the tops of tall trees. As I turned south, off to my left was the start of the sunrise, while to my right, the moon still graced the sky. As I drove past sloughs and ponds a shimmering mist rose ethereally. I attempted to listen to the radio, but earth’s sounds diminished the beauty and
HOMEBODIES
Rita Friesen mystery. The silence, save for hum of tires on the new roadway, was enough. As the moon gave way to the strength of the sun the world once again became familiar, but not common. The tone for the day had been set. The day entailed sitting in a classroom. The room was a dull taupe, no windows, and the ever present industrial fluorescent lights. The topics covered were important, but I doubt if there was a one of us who would not rather have been outside. Old bones are not accustomed to long sits in theatre seats
Observation By Addy Oberlin
M
y first destination was Regina where I attended a ceremonial graduation at the RCMP depot which included my family. From there I went to Lethbridge
to meet a new great granddaughter and visited with family. Cranbrook was my last stop where a new great grandson was waiting to be greeted and cuddled. It was a trip with adventures
– six and a half hours of sitting – short lunch and two stretch breaks. But when I closed my eyes the scenes of the drive re-visited me. Poetry and prose attempt to capture the essence of nature. Artists strive, putting brush to canvas, to hold the beauty of our earth. It is a gift to really see our world. I often think back to time spent in the Louvre, one of the world’s most famous museums. As I meandered through, stopping frequently to stand in awe at a particular painting, I noticed a youth, cell phone held high, practically gallike flying twice in a plane with only 18 seats. A bit small for me, especially going over the Rockies from Cranbrook to Calgary. It was not until I stepped in the door of my home that I could say “home sweet home.” Our life is full of adventures, some good, others
loping through the gallery, snapping photos. Yes, the individual certainly has a record that they were there, but perhaps, just perhaps, the experience could have been more rewarding if time had been spent absorbing the message of one or two pertinent pieces! Remembering that, I tried to simply be, simply see, right where I was. The other thought that entered the quiet was a remembrance of how much Ed enjoyed the outdoors. When we went for walks, often down familiar trails, he noticed and noted the subtle changes – the growth of the clover, the turning of the grasses, the subtle indications of the changing seasons. The wondering that even with only a day between forays, something had shifted. Slow me down Lord, slow enough to see.
not so good and some even disastrous. However, if we can say that our Home in Heaven is waiting for us we can go on in faith until the end. May “the Lord bring me safely to His Heavenly Kingdom: to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen (2 Timothy 4:18).

Letters Mental Health Awareness week Mental Illness Awareness Week includes a public awareness campaign that aims to better inform and educate Canadians about the issues surrounding mental illness. The theme of the week for 2015 is “Mental Health: Take Action Now”. The campaign runs October 4 - 10 and it represents many important issues. First and foremost, it puts a human face on mental illness by featuring the stories of people living with mental illness. Check out this year’s faces: www.miaw.ca The campaign also highlights the incredibly wide spectrum of those touched by mental illness, including: families, friends, care providers, teachers and all manner of health care practitioners. It encourages all of us - including our governments - to face and address the issues. Mental Illness Awareness Week brings us some fundamental messages: • Reach out: Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to ask how you can help. This is a message for the family as well as for the person who is suffering alone and for all of us who know someone in trouble. • Get help early: Early intervention and treatment can reduce long term disability and enhance recovery. • Talk about it: Share your stories to help others understand. • Share the care: Treatment and support of people with mental illness involves many types of caregivers; each has an important role to play. • Hope: While there are no cures for severe mental illnesses, improved treatments and community supports offer increased hope for recovery from its symptoms and a better quality of life. • Respect differences: People with mental illnesses and their families are as diverse as the general population. Prairie Mountain Health in partnership with the Beautiful Plains School Division is hosting a health promotion event in sync with the National Mental Illness Awareness Week. This event is being held in the community of Neepawa at the Yellowhead Centre on Oct. 7, 2015. The event is titled “Open Minds – Healthy Minds – Race to Positive Mental Health.” This year our participants will be approximately 300 Beautiful Plains School Division students in Grades 9 to 12. The youth will be engaged in fun learning activities to enhance their knowledge on mental health topics such as depression, anxiety, stress and coping, eating disorders, youth suicide etc. The day will also include a guest speaker - a young adult who will speak of her recovery journey through mental illness. It’s crucial that we educate Canadians about the nature of mental illness and reduce the stigma associated with it. Unfortunately, the stigma surrounding mental illness often prevents sufferers from seeking the help they need, impairs recovery, affects the quality and availability of care and needed supports and even takes lives. Stigma also continues to keep mental health low on the health agenda. For more information on education, programs, events and opportunities to get involved or to seek support please contact PMH.

Students recognize local war veterans By John Drinkwater The Neepawa Banner On Sept. 24, principal Alan Warkentin and students from Gladstone Elementary school attended the local cemetery as part of the Legion's Veterans Week. Here, they recognized the grave sites of war veterans by placing crosses near the headstones. Former Gladstone mayor (1998-2006) Catherine Smith, the daughter of a WWI veteran, supervised the event while assisted by the chaplain of Gladstone Legion #110. Smith said, “My father, who died in 1985, came back from the war to farm. There were 13 in the family with eight still living, the youngest being 68 years. Veteran names were extracted from community history books and grave locations marked on maps. The Legion Ladies Auxiliary (now disbanded) has assisted in this in years past. Similar events took place earlier, with six students in Austin and 15 in MacGregor. Over 200 crosses were placed at the Gladstone site.” The students enjoyed being involved and were particularly impressed by war memorabilia shown by Smith. Nick Bevington, president of the Gladstone Legion, said a total of 500 crosses were placed that day, a portion of these at Beaver and Katrime grave sites.

Community support needed if station is to expand and showcase Neepawa Continued from page 1 “We always need camera people, but we also need people in front of the camera too.” There are also other behind the scenes opportunities, such as organizing and scheduling interviews or editing the footage they record. “We work really hard to find volunteers things they like to do so that they can feel their talents are going to a good use,” added Gade. This year NACTV is hoping to try to produce more local programming similar to what they’ve done in the past. “We want more shows with live people talking about
issues that matter to Neepawa,” said Gade. “We want to go back to taking phone calls in those programs.” Traill said that they’d like to produce weekly programs talking about universal issues such as the environment, “Those are the kinds of things we should bring up from a local point of view. Not just an ethereal point of view of some guy talking in Washington or Ottawa, but how our guys feel about that.” Both Traill and Gade stressed that if these programs are going to happen, they will need more volunteers to work the cameras, be on the
talking panels and write up and organize the programs. Gade and Traill hope to get across how important NACTV is to the community so that they can get the support that the station needs to keep going. Traill said that NACTV is at the point where they have to make a decision on what will happen to the station. “We’re either going to expand and showcase Neepawa and make Neepawa the center of some television, or we have to just make it an outlet for a few programs every year and that’s it,” said Traill. They need the support of the
community if the station is going to be able to expand. “NACTV is as much a part of Neepawa as the Roxy, the Neepawa Natives or any of the other important groups here,” Gade said. “Keeping it strong and ensuring it continues for years to come isn’t just something nice, I believe it’s an obligation we all share. We must work to keep it a viable non-profit community group. If everything was too easy, no one would appreciate NACTV. Thankfully, we do face challenges sometimes that help us all remember to do our best for the station.”

Election 2015:
Farm Policy
INTERVIEWS HAVE BEEN EDITED FOR LENGTH AND CLARITY.
Name: Kate Storey Party: Green Party of Canada Home: Grandview The Green Party agriculture policy is quality food for Canadians, adequate farm income for families and a vibrant rural economy. Now that sounds like common sense, right? It’s what everyone wants, but you have to understand that the [Agriculture and Agri-food Canada] is aimed exactly in the opposite direction. They are looking at increased trade. Let’s think about that, if you want to export agricultural commodities, you are competing on the global market. That means you are lowering your standards, lowering the quality. You have to cut corners. What happened to that idea of quality Canadian branding? We use to have that with wheat. That’s what the Canadian Wheat Board was very good at: getting more dollars on the global market based on the quality we provided. Quality is the direction we should be going. [As for] adequate income for farm families. right now, it seems that agriculture is asking for cheap labour. There’s been a shift to migrant workers, which, by default, undercuts Canadian jobs. That idea of cheaper labour through migrant workers is fundamentally unfair. As far as investment in agriculture, 85 per cent of agriculture budget is farm subsidy programs. The problem is that [the federal government] has taken the subsidy cap off. Now the smaller farms and the medium size farms are competing against the great big consolidated farm. Is that what we want? Many experts say that the most efficient farm is a 1000 acre farm. We have 10,000 and 100,000 acres farms and even bigger. There are inefficiencies when you get that big and it certainly doesn’t help farm families when they are forced to compete against them. With all these issues, what are we doing to our farm families? Name: Laverne Lewycky Party: NDP Home: Dauphin The New Democratic Party has a strong and proud history of advocating for farmers in Canada. Unfortunately for farmers, in 2011, the Conservative government ended the Canadian Wheat Board single desk marketing system without any analysis, study or a producer vote, which was a requirement of the CWB Act. Manitoba farmers and our rural economy are paying dearly for that decision. The New Democratic Party offers constituents a vote for change. Our wheat marketing system was once the envy of the world. Now it is dysfunctional. It is time for the Harper government to be held accountable for the systematic destruction of western Canada’s farmer directed and owned Wheat Board marketing system. Only the New Democratic Party would reinstate the Canadian Wheat Board single desk selling system. The Harper Conservatives ended the PFRA and support for the rural environment. The Harper government has closed 24 federal agricultural offices across Canada and killed the community pasture program. They ended the tree nursery at Indian Head and shelter belt program which held back the desert. Federal support for water development, drainage, and wetland enhancement is all but gone. Experienced PFRA staff gave technical assistance for water projects to rural landowners. The PFRA also provided financial assistance for wells, water pipelines, community and RM water systems, dugouts and pumping systems. The NDP would re-establish the PFRA. Additionally, Ritz and Harper have fired plant breeders, scientists, food inspectors, librarians and support staff. In the past two years, 1,324 people have lost their jobs at Agriculture Canada, mostly plant breeders, scientists, agricultural research assistants, research librarians, inspectors and support staff. This is in addition to the dozens of scientists and food inspectors fired in 2012 and 2013. The NDP would reverse the cuts and make more funding available for public plant breeding in Canada. The trade deals, such as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), are a threat to Canada’s sovereignty. Should the Harper government in its dying days sign onto the TPP that would end supply management, a NDP government would abrogate that agreement. Regarding, Agri-stability, Agri-invest and crop insurance, Ritz and Harper have already drastically changed the margin calculations for Agri-Stability to make it more difficult to trigger pay outs. The New Democratic Party are committed to full funding crop insurance and deplore the cuts made to farm support programs.
Question: Agriculture is important to the region’s economy. What policies would you like to see implemented or changed to help Canadian farmers? Does your party have a position regarding agricultural implications of trade deals? Name: Robert Sopuck Party: Conservative Party of Canada Home: Sandy Lake Agriculture is critical to the entire economy of the constituency of Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa. In fact I was advised by the Canola Council of Canada that this constituency is the largest producer of canola of any constituency in Canada. For all agricultural commodities, international trade is extremely important since we export about 80 per cent of what we produce, whether it is grains and oilseeds or livestock. We [the Conservative government] have more than tripled the countries we have free trade agreements with from, 14 to 44 and have launched negotiations with other countries. In fact, one in five Canadian jobs is linked to trade. In terms of policies I would like to see implemented, I feel that we need to be very aggressive with trading partners who do not abide by trade agreements. I am very pleased about Canada’s aggressive approach to the United States in terms of their “Country of Origin Labelling” regulations. COOL is not in the spirit of free trade and needs to be eliminated. Our Conservative government has made it a priority to expand trade. We have also supported farmers with business risk management programs as well as backstopping disasters, such as excess moisture and flooding. Our Conservative government has made it a priority to expand trade. Furthermore, I would like to encourage more value-added agricultural production. Name: Ray Piché Party: Liberal Party of Canada Home: Onanole The Liberal Party of Canada supports open and respectful dialogue with our agricultural producers, as they are the experts in their fields. We also believe in supply management which helps farmers earn a stable income and provides Canadians with quality foods at reasonable prices. By the government and Canadian farmers working together, everyone is a winner. With that being said, supply management is built on three policy pillars: price-setting, protection from foreign imports and control of supply. A Liberal government will defend supply management in international trade negotiations like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Presently, The Harper Conservatives are conducting TPP negotiations in secrecy, without producer consultation and ignoring the people who do the heavy lifting in our economy. Liberals will act differently, working with farmers and producers to bring back fairness and strengthen the heart of the Canadian economy. Canada has historically managed to keep supply management, while still giving other countries access to our markets. It doesn’t have to be any different now. Liberals believe that farmers facing financial hardship through no fault of their own should be given bankable, predictable support to avoid financial catastrophe and that the security of our food production system must be maintained. More broadly, Canada badly needs greater and more durable economic growth. The Canadian agriculture and agri-food system accounts for nearly 7 per cent of GDP; boosting its growth is critical to building a stronger economy. Liberals support free trade; Canada is a trading nation that needs free trade agreements like the TPP because they create jobs for Canadians and contribute to economic growth and long-term prosperity. Canada has in the past signed free trade agreements that did not jeopardize our supply management. A Liberal government will fix the TFW program and ensure it is returned to its original purpose: filling jobs when qualified Canadians cannot be found. We will create a path to citizenship for foreign workers and make more detailed labour market information available. A Liberal government will ensure Canada’s food safety system is effective and minimizes risks so that we can assure Canadians that the food on their dinner tables is safe. Furthermore, we will support the promotion of the “Canada Brand” and its association with safe, high-quality products. We will ensure that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has the resources and legal tools it needs to be able to take enforcement action against the import of products that do not meet Canadian regulatory standards.
Name: Inky Mark Party: Independent Home: Dauphin Agriculture is the backbone of the riding. Harper did a great disservice when he killed CWB, sold off Indian Head tree farm, gave away the Port of Churchill, sold off community pastures, killed off all farm research attached to the Canadian Wheat Board and neutered the Grain Commission. The family farm is at bigger risk under the Harper government than previous governments. Harper has basically been working
for the big international grain and chemical companies against the Canadian farmer. Previous to the death of the CWB, farmers got over $9.00 per bushel delivered. Today, farmers are getting half of that. Looks like farmers are at the whim of the big grain companies, like way back in the ’30s. We need a government who will govern for all Canadians. We should not sign TPP or CETA because no one knows the details.
All marketing boards will disappear if Harper gets his way. These bad trade deals Harper wants to sign will lock us up for the next 90 years. These are not free trade deals but are good deals for the billionaires of the world. Don’t be surprised when Harper gets appointed to their boards down the road. In my past 13 years in Ottawa I have always fought for the farmers. If re-elected I shall continue to fight for the family farm.

Neepawa Natives ready for MJHL Showcase By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner One of the most popular annual events for the Manitoba Junior Hockey League hits the ice in Winnipeg this weekend, as all 11 clubs will participate in the 12th annual Old Dutch/ MJHL Showcase. For the Neepawa Natives, they will play against the Virden Oil Capitals on Friday, Oct. 2 at 3:00 pm at the MTS IcePlex. The following afternoon, Neepawa plays a ‘home game’ against the Winkler Flyers. That matchup will also start at 3:00 pm. MJHL commissioner Kim Davis said that this weekend is always very well attended by scouts from throughout Canada and the United States. “The league has personally invited 60 NCAA Division I schools to our showcase weekend,” said Davis. “We’ll see scouts from a number of highprofile colleges, of note the University of North Dakota and University of Western Michigan. Based on the feedback received, we are expecting a solid turnout.”

The Neepawa Natives celebrate after their 5-2 victory over Dauphin on Saturday, Sept. 26. The team has since refocused its attention to the Old Dutch/MJHL Showcase in Winnipeg Also expected to attend are scouts from several Division III schools, in addition to NHL teams, including Winnipeg, Vancouver,
Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Pittsburgh. Neepawa Natives coach Jim Fuyarchuk said playing in the Showcase will give
his players an extra spark of energy. He noted that it is very important for the coaching staff to keep them focused on the task
at hand: winning games. “We can’t treat this event any differently than a standard home or road game. We have a routine that we
need to go through before we set foot on the ice. We’ve been very focused in practice and that’s not going to change, whether it’s the Showcase, our upcoming game in Carberry [on Friday, Oct. 9], or a regular home game,” said Fuyarchuk. “It is a chance to see some of the other teams in action and we will try to take some time out for that, but it’s really all about focusing our players. They can’t be distracted by everything going on around them. [The players] are going to get a chance to display their skills to scouts from many different leagues, but these are still very important league games that we have keep focused on.” The Old Dutch/MJHL Showcase Weekend kicks off Thursday, Oct. 1 at the MTS IcePlex with Waywayseecappo Wolverines taking on Selkirk Steelers. After the Showcase wraps up, Neepawa returns home to the Yellowhead Centre on Sunday, Oct. 4 to play the Waywayseecappo Wolverines. Opening faceoff is set for 6:30 pm.
Rave reviews for Football Jamboree By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Young football players from across Westman have received some valuable gridiron experience, thanks to the first ever NACI Tigers Rookie Jamboree. The event, held in Neepawa on Saturday, Sept. 26, featured seven teams, including schools from Brandon, Swan River and Dauphin. The players competed in the round-robin style scrimmages, with each team running 10 offensive plays and 10 defensive plays against one another, during each quarter. Coaches were also allowed on the field, to walk the rookies through the playbook, as well as teaching them proper positioning and reading of coverages. Neepawa Tigers head coach Dave Clark said the day was a great opportunity to run the players who don’t get much on-field experience during the regular season,through some in-game situations. “It really was a valuable opportunity for us, as coaches to teach the players proper technique as it happens,” said Clark. “[The players] were able to get some time out there to learn at the same pace as during games. That’s really going to assist them as they continue to develop their skill set.” During the event, Neepawa was able to defeat the Neelin [Brandon] Spartans 26-20 and the Swan River Tigers 38-14, but lost to the Dauphin Clippers in the A-side final 14-0. Kelvin Hollier, who along with Clark and Dale Swanton helped to organize the Jamboree, said that the overall reaction from coaches, players and parents was very positive. “It was a good day. Been hearing a lot of positive remarks from everyone. The weather has been perfect and it’s really worked out well,” said Hollier. “As well, the kids got the chance to play some different opponents. Teams that they never get an opportunity to go up

against. All three football programs from Brandon, for example, were able to participate.” Clark agreed and added that the success of the day bodes well for the future of football in Neepawa. “The program has really come a long way from even just two, three years ago. Over 40 players came out to training camp, including about 20 or so younger players.

The Yellowhead AAA Midget Female Chiefs concluded their pre-season last weekend in Portage la Prairie, as they attended the Central Plains PreSeason Showcase. The weekend kicked off with a game on Friday, Sept. 25, against the Pembina Valley Hawks. This was the first opportunity for the coaching staff to see the entire team in game action. The Chiefs played well in the first period, with a strong forecheck and cycle game. No goals were scored, though the Chiefs outshot the Hawks 9-3. In the second, Yellowhead was on the power play on three occasions but unable to take advantage. Still scoreless in third, the Chiefs returned to that strong cycling game. It eventually paid off, as Sam Geekie found an opportunity and wired a snap shot over the goalie’s shoulder to open the scoring. Assists went to Hannah Foullard and Jalyn Elmes. Yellowhead tried to build on that momentum, but an innocent point shot deflected off a Chiefs defender and beat Miranda Cook on the glove side to tie the game with 10 minutes remaining. The Chiefs would take the lead again when defenceman McKenna Paddock took the puck for an end to end ride with a two or three dekes through the
Hawks before depositing a wrist shot over the goalie’s right pad. The Chiefs would kill off a late penalty and take the 2-1 victory. Game two for Yellowhead was early on Saturday, Sept. 26, against the Melville Prairie Fire. Another scoreless first period had the Chiefs again outshooting their opponent. Yellowhead veteran Tess Rampton opened the scoring just over three minutes into the second period, as she lifted a wrist shot past the Melville goalie on the glove side. A funny bounce and a waved off icing gave Melville an opportunity just seconds later and their forward capitalized alone in front of Emma Greenwood, sliding a puck under her pad to tie the game. Early in the third, first year Chief Taeya Nicol scored her first goal for Yellowhead, with a perfectly placed wrist shot. The Chiefs were dominant in the third, with Sam Geekie closing out the scoring late for the 3-1 win. Game three saw the Chiefs facing the Winnipeg Avros. Despite outshooting the Avros in the first, the Chiefs found themselves down 2-0 as Winnipeg took advantage of two opportunities to score late in the period. The Chiefs veteran defence stepped up in the second, as McKenna Paddock and Jalyn Elmes scored to tie the game. In the third, the Chiefs again took control of the
game, firing numerous shots at the Avros goalie. Finally, with just over five minutes to play, Karli Frederick powered down the right wing into the Winnipeg zone before placing a perfect pass to Cass Lyttle in front, who had only to redirect the puck into the wide open net. That goal would hold up as the winner as Yellowhead earned the come from behind 3-2 victory. The final game of the weekend on Sunday, Sept. 27 was against the Swift Current Wildcats. The Chiefs opened the scoring in the first, with Jalyn Elmes scoring on a point shot, assisted by Cass Lyttle and Karli Frederick. The game remained 1-0 into the third, when the Chief’s constant pressure on the Wildcats resulted in three more goals, the first, an unassisted effort from Elmes. The scoring concluded with a goal from Tatum Amy assisted by Karli Frederick ,and a hard working goal in front of the net by Emma Coulter, assisted by Jessi Rampton. The Chiefs took the 4-0 victory, with Emma Greenwood recording the shutout. The Chiefs play their home opener on Friday, Oct. 2 at the Communiplex in Shoal Lake against the Norman Wild. Game time is scheduled for 7:30 pm. Yellowhead then travels to Winnipeg on Saturday, Oct. 3 for an exhibition match with the St Mary’s Flames.

Watch out for deer ticks Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection that people can get from the bite of an infected blacklegged (deer) tick. Manitobans can reduce contact with deer ticks by avoiding wooded or forested habitat, wearing long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, tucking in clothing, using an appropriate repellent (it should state ‘for use against ticks’ on the product label), looking for and removing ticks as soon as possible. For more information about Lyme disease, its symptoms and how to prevent it, visit our website at www.manitoba.ca/ health/lyme/
You can help
You can help in the study of Lyme disease in Manitoba by collecting and submitting deer ticks for surveillance purposes. Deer ticks are smaller than the more common wood tick. Unlike wood ticks, they do not have white markings on their bodies. If you find a deer tick, remove it slowly from skin or clothing using tweezers and steady pressure; avoid twisting. Cleanse area with soap and water or a disinfectant. Place the tick in a small, crush-proof container (for example, a pill bottle) with a piece of slightly damp paper towel (to help keep the tick alive). Firmly tape the lid shut. Check the pictures and additional information on the website to determine if your tick might be a deer tick. Hand-deliver or mail the sample to the address below. If mailing, place the container in a sealed plastic bag then in a cardboard box labeled: RESEARCH SPECIMENS – FRAGILE – HANDLE WITH CARE Include your name, telephone number, email address and information about where, when and on whom (ex: a dog, a person) the tick was found.
