Sopuck ready for new role By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner
proved that lots of people wanted change. We didn’t get enough local support to win, but it was still a dramatic improvement for the Liberal Party from what happened here in 2011 and 2008,” said Piché. “We knocked on thousands of doors during the campaign. Talked to so many individuals who were seeking change.” NDP candidate Laverne Lewycky finished third in the riding with 5,083 votes, independent Inky Mark garnered 3,369 votes and Kate Storey, the Green Party candidate received 1,588 votes. In the 2011 election, the Dauphin-Swan RiverMarquette riding elected Sopuck with 63 per cent
support. As for his return to Ottawa as a part of the official opposition, Sopuck stressed that he will ensure that rural Canada is not forgotten. “I’m proud of the Conservative’s legacy in Ottawa and what it’s achieved for rural Canada. Our government was always a strong mix of urban and rural policies. This new government I fear could put too much attention on urban issues and forget about the concerns of rural Canadians,” noted Sopuck. “As a part of the opposition, myself and other rural MPs across the prairies will make sure they don’t forget rural Canada.”

A familiar name is heading back to Ottawa to represent the Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa riding as our Member of Parliament, but he’ll be doing so in an unfamiliar position; as a member of the official opposition. Conservative candidate Robert Sopuck, who first won the seat during a 2010 by-election, held on to the job of MP in the 42nd general election, as he picked up 19,229 votes, good enough for just over 46 per cent of the ballots. Sopuck said he was thankful for all the support he received throughout the campaign. “I really want to thank the voters for placing their trust in me. I wish to thank all the volunteers and donors who backed our efforts. I promise to remain a strong advocate for them and the rural way of life and rural economy,” noted Sopuck. Liberal Party candidate Ray Piché finished second in the riding, garnering 12,193 votes. That’s an improvement of over 10,000 votes from the 2011 election. Piché said he’s happy with the amount of support that has developed across the region for the Liberal platform. “The increased support we received in the riding

PAC Neepawa pastor Stafford Greer spoke to the congregation at the church’s inaugural service last Sunday. will be shared between Neepawa and Portage la Prairie. We had pastor Nathan, who is our lead pastor, do a vision cast to help people in Neepawa to understand what kind of church Prairie Alliance is and who we are. After that, I took the responsibility of teaching. In the future, there will be time where we livestream portions of the service from Portage, while also doing things here as well. It’s a sharing of responsibilities,” said Greer.
Fashion show focuses on feeling good By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner It was a great turnout at the Be-You-tiful Fall Fashion Show on Thursday, Oct. 15. The fashion show was put on by It’s Time Fashion and Gifts and the Viscount Cultural Centre for the Arts (VCC) and was held at the VCC. Rrain Prior, director of programming for the VCC, said the attendance was about 50, which is a little higher than average for their fashion shows. All the proceeds from ticket sales went to the VCC. She said they have had about six different fashion shows over the past few years. They try to pick a different theme every year, such as Think Pink or Shop Hometown. This year, the theme, BeYou-tiful, was meant to let women know that they can wear whatever they want and shouldn’t be bound by their body types. Ineke Mack, owner of It’s Time, said that they had models of different body types and ages to show how to put different outfits together to make anyone feel good in whatever they want to wear. Mack said that they had lots of positive feedback after the show from attendees and those who’d
seen pictures of it. All the clothing and footwear worn by the models was from It’s Time. Some of the jewellery was also from It’s Time, and some was from the VCC. The models worked with It’s Time to
put together outfits that they felt beautiful in. Mack would like to thank all the volunteers, from the models, to lunch servers, to emcees, who put in countless hours to make the fashion show happen.

The complete purchase and renovation price for PAC Neepawa at its new location was just under $700,000. As of Sunday morning, about $440,000 had been raised in donations to cover the cost. Greer noted that an additional $156,000 was raised on Sunday evening during a Thanksgiving banquet held in Portage la Prairie, cutting the remaining balance down significantly and allowing the church to operate without a heavy debt load. “It really allows a new congregation, that’s growing here to really find their identity quickly. So it helps expedite us. As a new church, we get to start on the shoulders

of an established church, with an established history and vision, which has been extremely helpful,” said Greer. As for the future of PAC Neepawa, Greer stressed that this will be a place that is open to all people
who are curious about spirituality, “I really hope that people will feel that this is a place where anyone, from any walks of life, regardless of your church background, that you are more than welcome here.”

It all began on Sunday morning with a group of new parishioners very unsure of what to expect from PAC Neepawa’s inaugural church service. It would end however, with those same people singing in unison and celebrating the word of God. After several months of preparations, the Prairie Alliance Church (PAC) hosted its first public service on Oct. 18, in the former Neepawa Funeral Home building. Just over 80 people attended the event, which featured a band and a live-stream message from the congregation in Portage la Prairie. PAC Neepawa pastor Stafford Greer said it was very important for them to make a positive first impression with visitors and make them feel at ease with the new surroundings. Greer said they felt as though they accomplished that through their first service. “When people show up
to a new place, they don’t know what to expect from that new environment. Everyone is excited and nervous at the same time. But myself and all the volunteers [with PAC], we had a lot of energy about the day and did what we could to assure those new to PAC that it’s a welcoming place,” said Greer. “After the service was completed, people were saying that it was different from what they were expecting, but that they enjoyed the feeling of being welcomed here.” The service led by Greer featured a much more modern and interactive feel to spirituality. Videos and quotes from the scriptures were shown on the television screens throughout the main room and a message from PAC Portage lead pastor Nathan Westlake was livestreamed to Neepawa. Greer said the services will feature a lot of collaborative teachings between the two locations. “Part of being the one church in two locations is that the communication

New owners for Agassiz Park Lodge By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner On Oct. 1, 2015, the Agassiz Park Lodge in McCreary changed owners after more than a decade. Marvin and Nancy Hays had been the owners for the past 15 years, and are now ready to retire. They sold it to three brothers, Atul, Sumil and Sangiv Garg. Sangiv and Sumil moved to Canada from India 11 years ago, and Atul moved here nine years ago. Atul Garg said all three of them own the business, but he is the one running it. His brothers and other family are currently living in Winnipeg. The previous owners are still at the hotel helping Garg with the transition and teaching him how to run it. Garg said that he and

Nancy Hays said they wanted to show them what they do and help them bring in their new ideas. Garg said they chose Agassiz Park Lodge because of the location. He said they really liked the area and that the hotel featured views of Mount Agassiz. The Hays decided to sell it to the brothers because it had been the first serious offer they’d received. There have been a few changes with the new ownership. The hours for the restaurant have

increased. It is now open seven days a week; Sunday to Thursday the hours are 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, while Friday and Saturday it is open from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. Breakfast for the hotel guests has also been extended and is now from 7:00 to 11:00 am. Garg said business has been “so far so good,” and they are slowly adjusting. He is hoping that it will continue to develop into a successful business for them. Hays said she thinks “there are a lot of good things coming.” She said that the new owners seem very “community-minded
and want to please.” She noted that she and Marvin had made a lot of friends through the business. The Hays would like to thank everyone for their support and wish the new owners well.

Stepping up
by Chad Carpenter
I Looking ahead to many tomorrows
T
he two following quotes make an effective summary of what happened on Monday night. As a person dedicated to democracy, I can relate to both quotes listed below. “We beat fear with hope. We beat cynicism with hard work. We beat negative, divisive politics with a positive vision that brings Canadians together,” Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said in his victory speech. “We have built a Canada that is stronger than ever,” Harper added. “Our economy is growing and new jobs are being created, the budget is balanced and federal taxes are at their lowest in 50 years.” - Prime Minister Stephen Harper I say “dedicated to democracy”, having run in more than a dozen elections or nomination races between the age of 20 and a couple of years ago. I have worked on many election campaigns, my earliest being the PC Manitoba leadership race in the late 60s for George Johnson. My personal political career cost me a lot of money over the years but gained me a lot of experience. No regrets. So what happened Monday night? Harper, and the Conservatives should have won. They had a good, solid economic record. They had done exactly what they said they would do, that is reduce the size of government and reduce the tax load. So what went wrong? Well, they didn’t sound nice, they sounded mean. I took it as firm, but the Canadian public took it as mean. I hope those same people are on the front lines when we have to stare the Islam extremist Sharia law straight in their covered faces as, assuredly, that day is coming. Canadians may well appreciate firm when that happens. Trudeau, the elder, faced down terrorists, hopefully, Trudeau, the younger will muster the courage to do so when it comes. And I hope Trudeau and all his supporters are there standing up for the rights of all faiths when the politically correct folks in

Ken Waddell the universities and media world make it illegal for us to hold or express certain opinions. So that’s the losers’ side. What about the winners? Justin Trudeau overcame an overworked campaign ploy by the Conservatives that said he wasn’t ready. Of course that was true, he wasn’t ready and maybe he still isn’t ready but he got off his backside and proved that he looked ready. He showed his father’s backbone and denied the odds, faced the people and without saying his father’s famous words “ Just watch me,” he demonstrated them. Obviously, I didn’t vote Liberal. My wife worked for the CPC campaign and on a local basis, it was very successful. You can see the full results in this issue of The Banner. We are Conservatives, but not blindly so. We are Conservatives because in most elections, they portray the values that most clearly represent our own. We make a logical choice each and every election. I stand by our choice this time as well. That said, Justin Trudeau is a very nice man in public. Who knows what anyone is like privately, but I have met Trudeau and he was gracious. When he was here in Neepawa during his leadership race, he was apologetic to me when one of his supporters publicly attacked me in a very personal and unfortunate way. He obviously has a very nice family. He cares deeply about his task, otherwise he wouldn’t have launched into this whole political thing. He has some good people with him. However, if he does what he has promised, we will be in for a tough time. He says he will legalize marijuana, that’s a big mistake on many fronts. By ac-
tions, if not in actual words, he has intimated he will legalize some other things that will harm our society. He’s going to send money to foreign countries to fund abortion. May God have mercy on him and us. Abortion is a procedure that should only be performed in the rarest of circumstances. He’s going to raise taxes on the rich to tap into that mystical pot of money whereby one percent of the population will somehow finance the needs of the 99 per cent. It’s a hair-brained scheme. I doubt that Trudeau will ever ask me, but I mentioned experience, my experience, and this is what I would suggest he do. Canada should have a flat tax for all. There should be personal flat tax and a corporate flat tax. The personal tax exemption should be on a per adult and per child basis and it should be at least as high as the poverty level. It’s particularly stupid and cruel that we tax people on their income when their incomes are below the poverty level. There should be no taxpayer money going to corporations except perhaps for technology or research tax credits. GST and PST should be harmonized. Government needs to be more transparent and easier to understand. You will notice that I didn’t lay any of Trudeau’s father’s legacy at his feet. For now at least, I will take him at his word that he is different than his dad. I hope so, as his dad did a pile of damage to Canada, but I forgive him for that and I will give Justin the benefit of the doubt. He is a man of many words and I will hold him to his word. God bless Canada, God save the Queen and may God bless our new prime minister.

n the news business, we often see people’s disengagement with their greater community. It can get depressing when it seems as though people just don’t care– they don’t care about organizations or events, they don’t care about politics, policies or elections. They read the stories, but they don’t step up. But this week was MY different. PERSPECTIVE T h i s week, we saw the people of the Neeate pawa area actually ackman tkinson get out and show support for what they feel is important. It started last week with an AGM. On Oct. 14, over 50 people showed up at the AGM for Neepawa’s community access TV station, NACTV. NACTV provides hours of programming chronicling the Neepawa area. On NACTV, you can see things like council meetings, hockey games and interviews with local individuals. Because of the work of dedicated volunteers, the station broadcasts local events, meetings and sports across Canada, through cable and satellite broadcasting. NACTV puts Neepawa out into the greater world. It’s a community asset and something about which we should be proud, after all, we are one of the few communities to still have such a station. The station relies on volunteers and of the people who came to the AGM, all but about three had volunteered with the station during the last year. Almost all of them were upset. They wanted to see changes in the organization’s board and the direction the station was taking. Some disagreed with the organization’s new bylaws and many worried that their voices weren’t being heard. At the AGM, the volunteers took the opportunity to make sure that their voices were heard. After much debate, the evening ended with the election of five new members to the eight member board. The change in board members has meant changes for the station, but most of the crowd seemed satisfied with the outcome and that their voices and concerns had been heard. There was a renewed interest in the station and its importance to the community. There will be challenges going forward, change is always harder than the status quo, but the community stepped up and used its collective voice to say, and get, what it wanted. This week, we also saw local voters step in the federal election. In the federal riding of Dauphin-Swan RiverNeepawa, voters headed to the polls to cast their ballots and make their voices heard. Incumbent Conservative candidate Robert Sopuck was reelected, but the election was closer than it has been in previous years. We know that we are a diverse riding and it’s encouraging to see voters get out and have their say, even if they are in the minority. What’s most exciting is that voter turn out was especially strong, with just over 65 per cent of registered voters casting their ballot. This is 10 per cent more than the 55 per cent who voted in the 2011 general election. Nationally, the turn out was 68 per cent and to see strong turn out in our riding, one that isn’t generally considered close, is a great testament to the region’s voters and their commitment to making their voice heard. Across social media, I saw many people proudly proclaiming that they had voted. Some were voting for the first time ever. As a democracy, this is very important. It’s our citizens and volunteers who determine what kind of community we will live in. I hope this is a sign of a changing tide.

Lessons we must never forget – part one
B
y the time you read this column, the 2015 federal election will be over. The attack ads will have disappeared (praise God!!). The signs will be picked up (just in time for road maintenance crews to cut the grass before the first snowfall) and the voters, having exercised their democratic right, will now revert to doing what they do best—critiquing the government in power and wondering what they were thinking (or if they were thinking) when they enacted the laws they did. These are rights we often take for granted. This is especially true of those who (like me and my children) were born in the years following World War II. We did not live through the horror of two world wars. Nor were we around when some of the key human rights battles (like granting women the right to vote) were fought; so we have very little understanding of the sacrifices that people made so that we could enjoy the freedoms we have in
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein a democratic society. Our understanding of these issues is based on the stories we have been told by others. Some are stories we have heard first hand—from grandparents, great grandparents or friends who lived through, and in some cases, fought in a world war. We also have access to books and videos that show (at times in graphic detail) the terrible carnage inflicted on those who answered the call of king and country to fight against tyrants bent on world domination. A lot has changed in the years since WWII ended. We have reduced the size of our armed forces, consolidated military bases and spent more time quibbling over the cost of new machines than making absolutely certain that when they are deployed, our soldiers, sailors and
fliers have the training and equipment they need to safely complete their missions. And then, when they come home, those who need help dealing with the physical injuries and emotional trauma suffered while on duty often do not get the help they need. Aging veterans, especially those living in remote communities, no longer have convenient access to Veterans’ Affairs case workers. Their offices have been consolidated and regionalized. The personalized service they once received is no longer available. Is it any wonder then, that so many of those who put their lives on the line for Canada and Canadians feel let down and abandoned? As for me, I can not visit a cemetery, tour the Legion section of that cemetery and look at the rows of
identical grave markers, each of which identifies the final resting place of a Canadian veteran, without wondering what they might say to our leaders and to us if they could comment on the way we appear to be treating our military personnel and our veterans. Their voices are silenced forever. But, so far at least, mine isn’t. So beginning today and for the next five weeks, I want to share some principles that, in my view, guided our ancestors as they fought in two world wars, waded through the quagmire of the Great Depression and dealt with the numerous social, political and economic challenges we have faced since then. I leave you today with these words of wisdom. They are one of many variations of an original quote attributed to Spanish philosopher George Santayana. “Those who will not learn from their past will be condemned to repeat it.” Next week, I will share the first of five lessons we can learn from our country’s past—lessons we must never forget.

s we drove along the country roads, the topic drifted and shifted. Several times one of our party of four would say – google that. We all vowed to do just that when we arrived home. Afraid that I would forget the topics covered, I asked a passenger to jot down some of the titles. We started with ‘rub elbows with’, and one reader in the group said it was the same as hobnob. So hobnob was the hit word. “In the eighteenth century drinkers would toast each other alternately with the word ‘hob or nob’ or ‘hob and nob’, probably meaning to ‘give or take’, or ‘have or have not’. Toasting each other in this way was “to drink hob or nob,” or from the 19th century, to simply “hobnob.” At times crossing social barriers, a

Flotsam, apparently, is debris in the water that was not deliberately thrown overboard, often the result of a shipwreck or accident. Jetsam, on the other hand, is debris that has been deliberately thrown overboard by a crew of a ship in distress to lighten a load. There are different salvage rights on these two, but I gave up on my research at this point and moved on to ‘die with your boots on’. We use the term now

he election is finished. The choices are made. It was not easy to pick from the four candidates. They all have their good points and their faults. However the waiting is over and we can now rest for about four years before we go through this all over again. The thought occurred to me that when we choose for an earthly ruler we have to make, sometimes dif-
in reference to one who dies while working. The dream of many a cowboy, or farmer. No rusting out, let me go with my boots on. Research showed the term really originated from frontier towns in the 19th century American West. Another source says that the phrase originally alluded to soldiers who died on active duty. The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms says: “Die with your boots on was apparently first used in the late 19th century of deaths of cowboys and others in the American West who were killed in gun battles
or hanged.” Cassell’s Dictionary of Slang adds that from the late 17th century until the early 19th century the expression meant “to be hanged.” Hence our next subject of interest was Boot Hill. Again, back in the 19th century it was a common name for the burial ground of gunfighters, or those who ‘died with their boots on.’ Those were some of the items under discussion. Not surprising considering that in the car were two scholars, a young person filled with trivia, and an oldster. We were pretty crack on with our assumptions and so my futile attempt to upstage the youngsters, prove them in error on some point, led to my research. The conversation was animated and often jocular. Not a bad way to pass the time driving Manitoba roads after dark!
The one thousand five hundred One thousand five hundred twenty-one candidates did not win in the federal election held October 19th. That is 81.8% of the 1,859 candidates who ran for office. We owe our thanks to each of the people who put his or her name up for us to consider. Without their dedication to public service and hard work on the campaign trail, we would not have a choice when we go to cast our votes. Electors and media spend far too much time focused on the party leaders for the health of our democracy. The truth is that each leader is only as strong as his or her elected representatives. He or she has to put forth a party platform that the majority of his or her followers are happy with. No leader can govern without the support of his caucus and last for very long. We need to focus more on our local candidates and what they bring to the table. They are our voice in Ottawa. Each party leader represents just one of 338 electoral districts. The leaders are chosen by members of the political parties they represent, not by the voting public. They are not our voice in parliament; our local representative is. If we want better governance, it starts at the local level when we elect a candidate to office. If we choose poorly, we cannot expect governance to improve. If we choose well, we can expect that our governance will gradually improve. No one representative (including the party leaders) can turn the ship of state overnight. Our government has grown to gargantuan proportions so changes happen incrementally. Not everyone gets or heeds the memo immediately. Our elected representatives have a duty to all Canadians to govern in the best interests of the majority of our society. Our laws and taxes have to be fair to everyone. The concept that the opposition parties in parliament are duty bound to oppose anything and everything that the government of the day introduces is inane. The duty of the opposition is to scrutinize and improve governing party initiatives where possible and to introduce workable alternatives for consideration. The current adversarial approach is an affront to democratic principles. John Feldsted Political Consultant and Strategist Winnipeg, Manitoba

ficult, choices. However when it comes to a Heavenly ruler the choice is much smaller and more distinct. We can either choose to serve God or the devil, either the perfect Creator or the destructor. I believe it makes the decision much easier. The Lord God tells us in Joshua 24:15 “choose you this day whom ye will serve …....” When we choose to serve our King of Kings and Lord of Lords we need to decide only once, because Christ shed His blood on the cross and did it once for all. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:2 “behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.” No waiting required or necessary.

McKee takes part in 4-H young horse project Submitted The Neepawa Banner The 18th annual presentations of the Manitoba 4-H Young Horse Development Project (YHDP) were held in September at the Westoba Agricultural Centre of Excellence, in Brandon. The project provides a venue for senior 4-H members to demonstrate their knowledge gained through the 4-H Equine Program, as well as to showcase the stock being bred and raised on Manitoba’s equine ranches. Each year, interested senior 4-H members (14 years of age by January 1 of the current year) apply to the YHD Project’s advisory committee. Upon selection, members are given a list of participating Manitoba Equine Ranching Association (MERA) and Saskatchewan Equine Ranching Association (SERA) ranchers from whom they may purchase a weanling. Prices are pre-set and ranchers receive half of the purchase price; the balance is placed in that year’s Project Enhancement Fund. The YHD Project involves a two-year commitment and teaches 4-H members valuable life skills about taking responsibility, setting goals and applying the knowledge gained. Members raise and train their horses with the objective of presenting them as a yearling “in hand” and as a twoyear-old “under saddle”.

Minnedosa 4-H member Daisy McKee of Minnedosa, with her yearling filly Flashy Carma Members receive payouts through their yearling presentations (1/3 of the Enhancement Fund) and through their two-yearold presentations (the remaining 2/3 of the fund); completing their project books and by adhering to the rules and regulations. Formal placings for the presentations are irrelevant. Members receive an Enhancement Fund payout based on their individual efforts, so the experience is self-achieving. In 2015, three 4-H members exhibited their yearlings “in hand”. Three 4-H members also exhib-
ited two-year-olds under saddle. Minnedosa 4-H member Daisy McKee, 16, is in grade 11 at Elton Collegiate in Forrest. This is Daisy’s first involvement with the YHD Project, although as she said, “I’ve been a 4-H member for many years. I wanted to try something new and thought it would be a cool idea and an opportunity for me to train a horse the way I would like. It’s been an awesome experience and met my expectations and more, through the success I’ve had teaching my yearling.” Continued on page 14

NACTV bingo back By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner Reports of Bigger Bingo’s death have been greatly exaggerated. After a week off the air, NACTV’s Bigger Bingo will be back next week, with some changes. NACTV board chair Ivan Traill explained that that despite reports to the contrary, the bingo isn’t under investigation by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries. As of print deadline, the Bigger Bingo website, which is no longer controlled by NACTV, read, “Bigger Bingo has been suspended from airing on CJ Radio due to noncompliance with licensing requirements of the Liquor and Gaming Authority of Manitoba.” The website is owned by 83 North Inc., with CJ Radio owner Bill Gade listed as the contact. A representative from Liquor and Lotteries confirmed to the Banner that they never suspended the Bigger Bingo license and that there have been no compliance issues. Traill said that they finally got confirmation from Liquor and Lotteries that they could proceed with bingo on Tuesday afternoon, but by then, it was too late to run the bingo that night. Traill explained that with the prize pots sitting at $8,000, they felt it would be unfair to run it after many players had already returned their
cards for a refund. For next week’s bingo, players can use cards from either this week or next. Those who purchased cards for this week’s bingo can also return their cards for a refund if they don’t want to play them next week. Traill explained that there will be some changes going forward, mostly notably that bingo will no longer be aired on the radio. It will still be broadcast on Bell, MTS and locally on Westman Cable and over the air. There will also be some changes to the ticket distribution area, most notably, cuts to availability in the Interlake. Overall, the changes will bring Bingo back to what it was originally. “It will be as it was started to be,” said Traill.

Home & Farm Improvement Get your home fall and winter-ready Submitted Metro News Service If boots, a warm hat and a tunedup snow blower are the only items on your winter preparation list, your home maintenance plan may need a makeover. These simple home maintenance projects can help lower your energy bills, prevent more costly repairs and/or increase the lifespan of your home. 1. Heating and ventilation — Examine your fireplace and chimney system to ensure that no soot or creosote has collected. Any cracks or voids could potentially cause a fire. Before you turn the furnace or boiler on, replace the air filter and hire a professional to inspect the unit more thoroughly. These steps will improve the efficiency and life of your furnace and will ensure stable indoor air quality. 2. Seal windows and doors — If not properly sealed, windows and doors can be a major culprit for heat loss. To keep the warm air inside, inspect the weather-stripping around your home’s windows and doors for leaks, rot or decay. Repair or replace structural framing, and caulk inside and out, if necessary. 3. Insulate well — One of the easiest and most effective defenses against heat loss is proper insulation. Prevent cold drafts from entering
and the loss of heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder. Look for a moistureresistant product offering high thermal performance. 4. Backyard care — Save your property from potential damage by trimming overgrown trees and shrubs to prevent ice-laden branches from thrashing against electrical wires and your home’s exterior. Drain and shut off any exterior faucets and sprinkler systems to prevent freezing. Ensure rain or snow drains away from the house to avoid foundation problems. 5. Roof and gutters — Inspect your roof for shingles that are warped, damaged or even missing to prevent a future leak. Use roofing cement and a caulking gun to seal joints where water could penetrate, such as around the chimney, skylights or vent pipes. Make sure that your gutters and downspouts are securely fastened. Downspouts should extend at least five feet away from the home to prevent flooding. When it comes to preventative maintenance, a little time and effort can save thousands in energy costs and repair bills over the lifetime of your home.

Tiger Hills Hockey League season set to begin Submitted The Neepawa Banner The 2015-2016 regular season is about to start for the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL). It will operate with 13 clubs this year, making it the largest senior league in Canada. During the off-season, the Swan Lake Cougars requested and were granted a one year leave of absence from league play, stating a lack of player commitment as the principal reason for them not being able to compete. The Minnedosa Bombers, previously a member of the North Central Hockey League, made a presentation for entry into the THHL during the off-season and were unanimously accepted. With 13 teams, the league format will once again be an east and west divisional system and teams will play an unbalanced schedule. Each team will play three games against divisional opponents and either travel to or host a team from the other division once. Eastern Division teams will play 24 games and Western

The playoffs will be similar to last season, with the biggest change being that if the seventh place team in the East has a better winning percentage than the sixth place team in the West, there will be a crossover series in the first round. The rest of the playoffs remain as before. First and second in both divisions receive
first round byes, while the third place team will play the sixth ranked club and the team seeded in fourth position will go against the fifth ranked club in a best of three series. After that round is completed, the first place team plays the lowest surviving seed and the number two seed will face the next playoff contender in a best-of-five series. As for the THHL Championship, the two
finalists can decide on whether they want a bestof-five or a best-of-seven series to determine the league champion. Regular season play for the Tiger Hills Hockey League begins on Friday, Oct. 23 and the playoffs are scheduled for February. The THHL Champion will compete in the Senior ‘A’ Provincial Tournament to decide the Hockey Manitoba Cup Champion.

Midget Chiefs clip Hawks at home Submitted The Neepawa Banner The Yellowhead Female Midget Chiefs played on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Communiplex in Shoal Lake, as they welcomed the Pembina Valley Hawks for a regular season matchup. A brisk pace from the visitors in the first period had the Hawks outshoot the Chiefs 12 - 7. However, the hosts opened the scoring as the red hot line of Emma Coulter, Jessi Rampton and Morgan Ramsay continued the torrid scoring pace from the previous weekend. Ramsay carried the puck into the Pembina Valley end and passed to Coulter in the slot, who found herself surrounded by defenders. Working hard to keep the play alive, Coulter kicked the puck loose, right to an opportunistic Rampton who snapped a quick shot high over the goalie’s glove. A scoreless second period was highlighted by strong goaltending at both ends, with veteran Chief Emma Greenwood denying the Hawks chances, particularly at the end of the period when the Chiefs

Strong weekend for Female Chiefs at Stonewall/Warren Showcase By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Last weekend was a busy one for the AAA Bantam Female Yellowhead Chiefs, as they traveled to Warren for a showcase tournament. The Chiefs started off the event playing the host club, the Interlake Ice on Friday, Oct. 16. After a slightly sluggish start, Yellowhead was able to open the scoring at about the midway point of the opening period. Interlake would secure the tying goal in the second period, but the Chiefs notched what would prove to be the game winner just 24 seconds into the final frame and secured the 2-1 win. Yellowhead outshot the Ice by a 45-18 margin on the way to the victory. Jocelyn Zimmer was awarded the game star for the Chiefs for her two assists during the game. The second matchup of the Showcase for Yellowhead was on Saturday against the Winnipeg Predators. This proved to be a fast and physical game with close checking, speed and scoring. The Predators would ultimately

After the let down in the morning showdown against Winnipeg, the Chiefs came out with a little more energy in the afternoon versus the Pembina Valley Hawks. Yellowhead scored a pair in the first period, one in the second and another two in the third to ensure a solid 5-1 win. Shots for the game was 48-27 in favour of the Chiefs. The final matchup of the weekend was on Sunday, against the Winnipeg Victorias. This game proved to be a real shootout, with the Chiefs ultimately coming out on top, 6-5. Samantha Lindenbach had a pair of goals, while Jocelyn Zimmer added a goal and two assists. Other goal scorers were Mckiya Mazur, Sadie Wood and Monet Mazawasicuna, with the eventual game winner. The Chiefs would end the first Showcase with a 3-1 record.

speed to beat the Hawks defender wide and then snapped a shot past the goalie on the short side. Greenwood was called on to make several more saves to secure the win and the shutout. Emma Coulter sealed the game with an empty net goal with just over two minutes to play as she worked hard to get the puck out of the Chiefs’ end before firing the puck from the redline into the open cage. The game ended in a 3 - 0 victory for the Chiefs. The Yellowhead Chiefs currently have a 2-0 record in the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League regular season.

Obituary Delmar Burnside On Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Roy Delmar Burnside, aged 71, of Neepawa MB passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at home on the farm while he was doing routine cattle jobs. Delmar was born September 26, 1944 at Neepawa MB, a second son for Ernie and Bernice (Raven) Burnside. At about 3 years of age he and his family moved to the newly constructed home on nw3414-13 Lansdowne R.M. where he lived for the remainder of his life. Delmar obtained his education at Twyford, Keyes and Arden where, in 1960, he graduated from Grade 11, the official end of high school at that time. In 1962 he graduated Grade 12, equivalent to 1st year university, at Neepawa’s N.A.C.I. Delmar was in 4-H Swine Club and 4-H Beef Club and also played hockey in Arden. During school years in Arden he also started to curl, a sport he enjoyed playing until only a few years ago. He curled in leagues in Arden, Gladstone and Neepawa over the years. He enjoyed seeing his children take up the game in later years. 4-H years gave Delmar training in leadership skills which he put to use serving his community while in high school and throughout his lifetime. He enjoyed his years as a Leader in the Arden R.O.P. Heifer Club and the Gladstone Beef Club. Farming, especially livestock, was his passion. Having decided to make farming his career, he took up farming with his dad and cousin Lin. He was interested in learning new and progressive farming practices. He enrolled in a winter-time 4-year Farm Management Course through local Manitoba Agriculture (completed in 1969). After his dad’s death in 1968, Delmar took over the main responsibility for the farm. In October 1969 Delmar and Edith Carnochan were married at Roblin MB. Together they raised two children; a son, Cory, and a daughter, Susan. Delmar enjoyed family times. Camping became a family favourite activity. He enjoyed travelling, especially seeing new areas of Manitoba and the prairies. It was important to Delmar to support and encourage his children in their activities. He faithfully attended and assisted at their sports team practices and games, as well as school events and 4-H Beef Club. In the late 1970’s he began to use Charolais bulls in his cowherd and soon he was working to build up a base of Registered Purebred Charolais cows. Burnside Charolais Farm was the main focus of the farm business for many years. Delmar was actively involved in The Manitoba Charolais Association and served on the MCA Executive. The “Charolais Years” produced numerous friendships which have been sustained to the current time. In 2006 Delmar and Edith bought a house in Neepawa and in 2007 Edith moved to town. In 2011 they sold the farm to son Cory who is now the 4th generation of Burnside’s farming some of the same land. Although not eligible himself for a MB Century Family Farm designation, Delmar was proud of the Burnside family’s long record of farming here. Delmar continued to live on the farm, enjoying the opportunity to still help a bit. One of his favourite parts was seeding time. He kept telling Cory that this years’ corn was a “once in a lifetime crop”. Delmar enjoyed going for coffee at the neighbours’ and to town at the local coffee-shops where he made a lot of close friends over the years. In 2009 Delmar became a Grandpa and did his share of boasting about his grandchildren, usually having some photos to show off. In 2014 Cory and his wife, Angela Pearen, parted ways and Cory moved into the farmhouse with his dad where they had the next year and a half to become closer in their relationship. Delmar is survived by his two children, Cory (Tanya) and Susan (Ryan) Carlson as well as by Edith. Also missing his presence in their lives are his grandchildren, Sophia, Aidan, Ellyanna and Evalina Carlson and his siblings Wayne (Karen) and Donna (Bernard) Kreutzer, nieces and nephew, close cousin Colin “Lin” (Mona) Burnside and brother-in-law Lyle Carnochan and numerous other cousins. Delmar was predeceased by an infant sister Louise, his parents, parents-in-law Donald and Alma Carnochan and niece Beverley Little. A Celebration of Delmar’s life was held at Arden Community Hall on October 13, 2015 with Pastor Beth MacDonald leading the service. Pallbearers were Gary Burnside, Robert Burnside, Jamie Kreutzer, Alan Gowan, Colin Gowan and John Pottinger. Pianist Julianna Rempel provided the musical ambiance and led the hymn-singing. Interment was at Riverside Cemetery, Neepawa. Donations in memory of Delmar Burnside can be made to The War Amps, CHAMPS Program, 1 Maybrook Drive, Scarborough, Ontario M1V 5K9.

farm about 2,200 acres of grain, hay and pasture and have some commercial cattle. Our breeding operation consists of approximately 150 horses, of which 10 are stallions. Quarter Horses make up 75 per cent and Appaloosas make up 25 per cent of our herd. We have been offering weanlings to 4-H members in the YHD Project since the beginning. We feel it gives young people a chance to learn all about raising a horse. We attend the event every year to see them present their horses. For us, it’s a measure of enjoyment, and we feel they are the future of our horse industry. A lot of these members have gone on into the agricultural field. And, a lot of the horses have ongoing careers in barrel racing and roping events.” Two yearlings and one two-year-old were presented at this year’s event from the Bridgeman Land & Livestock’s breeding program. Meghan Sprung, 4-H and Youth Specialist, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, Brandon, said, “We have a total of 2,196 Manitoba 4-H members in 2014-15 and 514 equine projects were undertaken. The YHD Project’s Working Committee manages enrollment in the project, provides the project materials, and directly administers the project. The project provides an opportunity for members to establish relations with Manitoba and Saskatchewan equine ranchers and to own and develop a young horse. ”

Continued from page 6 When asked why she chose Flashy Carma from Bridgeman Land & Livestock, Daisy said, “I was not looking for a specific colour or breeding. I wanted one with a quiet temperament which I felt confident would be easier to work with. She was very quiet and friendly. What I have learned from this project is that the first steps are the most important and if a good foundation is there – it makes it easier later. I plan to keep training my mare to become an all-around horse for future MGRA gymkhanas and working cow horse competitions”. Daisy added, “In the future, I am leaning towards a career as an animal science and health technician.” Kirk and Gail Bridgeman, who own and operate Bridgeman Land & Livestock Ltd., at Rapid City, Manitoba, have been equine ranchers for 34 years. They are second generation equine ranchers, as Kirk’s late parents, Ken and Janie Bridgeman were pioneers in the business. Gail said, “We

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE BEAUTIFUL PLAINS MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES
This picture is a good example of the history that we are trying to preserve at the Beautiful Plains Museum and Archives. Taken on Oct. 13, 1898, this picture shows the Beautiful Plains Agricultural Society’s fair on what we now know as the CNR land. The Ag Society was formed in 1882 and reorganized in 1886. In 1889, they purchased land west of Fifth Ave. from the Town of Neepawa and proceeded to build fair facilities. In 1902, the Agricultural Society sold their land to the Canadian Northern Railway for $2,500. In 1903, the Minister of the Interior issued a permit for the cutting of 100,000 board feet of lumber for barn construction. The present site was purchased in 1905. Dr. Marie North, DVM The October 15 Neepawa Press had the full results of Phone: (204) 834-2033 the BPAS 17th Exhibition. Attendance, exhibitors and E-mail: info@carberryvet.ca entries all set new records with a one-day attendance of 1600 and 1000 entries. The October 19 issue had two letters to the editor (one from a farmer and one from a Carberry Small Animal Veterinary Clinic townsperson) promoting the idea of a summer fair rather than a fall fair. This picture comes from the Jasienczyk P.O. Box 550 family, who found it many years ago in the old house on 115 - 3rd Ave. East their farm. That house was built by Ludwig Brautigam Carberry, MB R0K 0H0 near the time of the photo. Thank you to the Jasienczyks Fax: (204) 834-3990 for helping to preserve our community history.
