Remembrance Day B Pages 1-3
NACTV looks forward to upcoming move By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner It’s official. Neepawa Access Television (NACTV) has signed a lease and will be moving into the old Neepawa Press building in the coming weeks. Ivan Traill, president and CEO of the NACTV board, said that they hope to be moving in during the week of Remembrance Day. The need for the move was caused by the Town of Neepawa deciding to sell the building in which they currently rent space. Traill said that it had been an option to buy the building they are in on Davidson Street, however, many of the other tenants have moved out of the building already. Without rent money coming in, NACTV would not be able to afford the upkeep of the whole building. The only affordable option, other than the Press building, was the basement of the Roxy. But Traill didn’t think that the conditions were good enough for a workspace and the Press seemed to be the perfect fit. He said that right now, the station is more focused on making sure some important programs, such as the Rotary Auction, get done before they do any
moving. He said that the auction is one of Rotary’s main fundraisers during the year and he didn’t want to risk having technical difficulties during the move that would prevent them from airing it. The exact date for when they can get set up in their new location will depend on when the technician from Brandon can come out to get everything hooked up. Traill said that other than putting in a green screen and finding places to put everything, the building itself doesn’t need any changes. NACTV is looking forward to the move. The building suits their needs perfectly, having a large area for the studio itself and walls separating the studio from the office space. Traill said that one of the challenges to their current space is that everything is open, so if they’re filming something, everyone in the whole space has to be quiet so that the microphones don’t pick up the background noise. Another advantage to the new building is that it’s on the main street, which Traill said is much nicer than being tucked away in the back corner of a building with no windows. continued on page 2

Funding a concern for Neepawa’s television station continued from page 1 Being close to their current space allows the signal from their antenna, which is on the Yellowhead Manor roof, to be hardwired to the building. If they had to move any farther away, a tower would have had to be built to get the signal from their antenna. Traill estimated the move to cost about $15,000, which would include the hardwiring and getting set up to be broadcasting. There are also additional immediate costs for the station, following the loss of some of the equipment they had been using. CJ97 Radio in Neepawa had lent them some equipment when the owner of the radio station had been on the board of NACTV. When his term on the board expired at the last annual general meeting, he took back what he had been allowing them to use. Traill said that one of the most important pieces of equipment they will need is a playback machine. The one they have currently is meant for consumer use, so it won’t last very long being used as a commercial machine. He said that the cost of a commercial playback machine can range from $5,000 to $10,000. They will also need two new computers, which Traill said will cost about $2,000 each. He estimates that with the move and all of the equipment that needs to be purchased, they will
be spending about $50,000. The station is expecting to have to borrow a lot of that money, but they also plan on doing a lot of fundraising this year. Jean Borchardt, the head of the fundraising committee, is already planning on setting up a table at the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op food store to accept donations for NACTV. They also have a concert planned for this spring that will raise some money for them. Traill said that they have had concerts like this one in the past and they have done well. Traill has high hopes for their annual NACTV Showcase, which is coming up in February. He said that the first year they did it, they brought in around $15,000 but in the past years, it’s gone down to about $7,000. He said that leading up to and during the showcase, they will be reiterating how badly they need donations during this time and he hopes that they will be able to get the numbers back up to $15,000 or even $20,000. Traill said that the fundraising committee has a lot of plans for raising money over the year that will be announced. As for their fundraising through Bigger Bingo, Traill said that they hope to get the numbers back up to what they were normally. He said that with the rumour going around that it had been cancelled, their sales were

down significantly last week. But now that the rumours have been proven untrue, he hopes that the sales will go back up to what they were, so that they can get back to making money through it. With the move and the recent difficulties that the station has been going through, Traill said that the community has been supporting them more than ever. He has had people come up to him who have never worked with the station before, volunteering to help them with the move. He has also had a few people saying they would like to make programs for the station. He said that most of the volunteers have recently been spending more time trying to raise funds than making programs. So the more people who volunteer and/or donate money, the more they can focus on running the station rather than funding it. NACTV has some exciting developments on the way, with the new building and getting new equipment. They are on track to making the station “bigger and better than ever,” as Traill had said after the annual general meeting. All they have to worry about is the finances and hopefully that will be helped by the support and generosity of the community they serve.

Correction: In the Oct. 30, 2015 issue of the Neepawa Banner, there was an article about farm safety entitled “Grain engulfments a safety concern.” In this article it was stated that the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) offers grain bin rescue training. This is inaccurate, the association does not offer such courses yet. They had facilitated a grant for Farm Safe Nova Scotia to offer this training, but they did not offer the course through CASA. They are currently looking for more interest from safety associations to run a course like this.

he Winnipeg School Division is asking the province to build three new schools. Considering how long Steinbach and Winkler have waited for new schools, asking for three may be a stretch. Neepawa is waiting for a new school as well. Winnipeg’s situation is different. They have a lot of school space, some of which isn’t being used. The artificial class size limits imposed by the province haven’t helped. I know it sounds very out of date but when a classroom gets a bit crowded, it’s very tempting to remind people that at one time, Mountain Road’s one room school had 91 kids attending it. To be a bit less extreme, I know a teacher who had 48 kids in a one room school and a half a dozen didn’t speak English. Perhaps not a realistic comparison but one has to ask WSD, have they applied the first rule of business and that is Utilization of Inventory? How many empty classrooms are there in the city, how many empty schools? If the WSD schools haven’t been kept up any better than many of the Winnipeg community centre arenas, then the WSD may well be in a lot of trouble. Neepawa’s schools, as are most rural schools, are reasonably well kept up. Rural arenas, for the most part, are kept up as well. Neepawa is very fortunate in that the Yellowhead Centre, which is both an arena and a hall, is old but debt-free and still pretty well maintained. It actually makes a small profit some years, but no where near enough to replace the ice plant when it finally quits. The bigger picture for Manitoba is that the Province of Manitoba is broke, dead-busted broke. They don’t have the money to build new schools, new care homes or new hospitals. They have over run their budgets for years.

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE
Ken Waddell So that begs the obvious question, how do you balance the budget and make capital expenditures? That also begs the question, why do you want to balance the budget anyway? The government can always borrow (or print) more money, right? Let’s answer the second question first. We need to balance the budget so that the debt doesn’t grow any bigger. Deficits are the annual losses, debt is the accumulated losses. Every year we have to pay huge amounts of interest on our debt. God help us if interest rates go up because our interest payments will go up sharply as well. Interest payments don’t increase our level of services or our infrastructure. The bottom line is that debt should at least be controlled and at best avoided. The first question is how do governments balance the budget and still finance capital items such as schools, care homes and hospitals? A first step would be to make sure school divisions are using their available space. Divisions all have available space, it just may not be in the place they want it. Some Winnipeg parents complain bitterly that their students are up to an hour, on the school bus. Many rural students are on for an hour, so suck it up princess. The same could apply to the Neepawa area. There’s room at Eden School but parents seem to be aghast at town kids having to take a bus for a grade or two to go out to Eden for
school. Pretty short sighted in both cases. Another thing the province could do is establish a labour policy where wage increases are limited to inflation. I don’t think there are many people in the public service who are suffering so a cost of living or inflation based wage increase should be good. It’s pretty stupid for the Province of Manitoba to get into endless fights over wages with public service unions. A labour policy where wage increases are limited to inflation could end the endless labour fights. That would save a lot of time and money, unlike Ontario where they paid the teachers’ unions for negotiating costs Governments should also embrace direct private investment as well as through foundations to build capital structures. The biggest thing that governments could do is be decent with the people who work in the public service. There’s more to life and the workplace than money. The biggest complaint people have is that governments and their agencies are run in a stupid, bossy, top down fashion. If governments could beat that monkey off their back, governing would go a lot smoother. We have relatively new governments at the municipal level, a new one at the federal level and maybe we’ll get a new one at the provincial level next spring. Do you think they can learn how to run our affairs properly?

very year, the Neepawa Banner publishes a special Remembrance Day feature. The space is supported by local advertisers and includes first hand accounts of those who have experienced war, either at home or abroad. In previous years, we have talked to veterans, not just of World War II, but also more recent conflicts. We have talked to those at home who worried about their loved ones at the front. We have talked to people who were children when Neepawa was a busy air MY force training base and PERSPECTIVE those who grew up in Europe during the war. This year ate marked the 70th anniverackman tkinson sary of the end of World War II and we’ve done some extra coverage throughout the year to mark the end of the war in the Europe and the war in the Pacific. As the years pass and fewer of those with memories of what it was like to live in a world at war remain, we were able to do something different this year. With our purchase of the Neepawa Press in September, we acquired the paper’s archives, which go back to 1896. The front page of the May 10, 1945 paper proudly proclaimed “European Peace Declared”. For this year’s feature, we went back in time for a unique, first hand account of local reaction to victory in Europe. The front page was dominated by the news and stories that talked about the celebrations. On VE Day, “The wailing of the town’s siren and the ringing of the church bells ushered in the peace… after five years of bloodshed, death and suffering in Europe.” When the early news of the German surrender arrived over the radio airwaves, telephone operators noted heavy traffic as people phoned to spread the good news to friends and neighbours. Area residents gathered around radios in cafes to hear the latest updates. These gatherings led to impromptu celebrations, including a Victory Parade. The paper reported, “All plans for this function were formulated in the cafes and on the streets, no one individual being responsible.” Special services were held at the town’s churches, as well as the cenotaph. The front page also carried the good news that area men had been liberated from prisoner of war camps in Europe. ABS. W. Dearl Trickett, of Kelwood, was a member of the Navy and had been taken as a POW after the sinking of his ship, the HMCS Athabaskan, on April 29, 1944. The paper reported that his parents had received word of his release. Two Neepawa men, L. Cpl Ralph Harvey and Anthony Wolochyn were taken prisoner at Dieppe in August 1942. Harvey enlisted in September 1939 and went overseas in December of 1940. Wolochyn enlisted in June 1940 and went overseas in September 1941. Despite the stories of victory and freedom, the front page also contained many reminders of the losses. PO Alvin R. Jackson, of Norgate, had been missing since August 26, 1944 and the paper told that he is now, for official purposes, presumed to have died in Active Service. The front page also notified that community that FO Jim Gen Lee was reported missing while serving the RCAF. Despite the celebrations, the paper continued to remind readers that the war in the Pacific was still underway. They were used to buy Victory Bonds and to continue with rationing. A promotion continued in which participating businesses were sending “30,000 cigarettes to our boys overseas”. Though Neepawa was far from the action, flipping through other papers from that year show that the war was always at the forefront. Local casualties were reported on the front page and throughout the paper, there were updates from the front lines, as well as ads about ways in which those at home could support the war effort. To be able to read these first hand accounts, written at the time, offers a truly unique perspective of this important era.

Lessons we must never forget, part three

n one of his many encounters with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus met an expert in the Law of Moses who wanted to know what he had to do in order to inherit eternal life. Jesus told him: “Love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind; love your neighbor as yourself.” To this, the legal expert replied: “Well said. Now— who is my neighbor?” Jesus’ answer came in the form of a story. He told of a Jewish man who was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. En route, he was attacked by a bunch of thugs who robbed him of his goods, beat him to a pulp and left him on the road to die. The only person who came to his aid was a Samaritan—a man with whose people the Jews of Jesus’ day had nothing in common. This story helped the legal expert answer his own question. His neighbor was any member of the human family who had a need that he could help to meet. As a good neighbor, he was to look past the person’s race,
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein color, gender, country of origin or religious beliefs. He was to ignore the social, cultural and political barriers that divided people in his day and that continue to divide people today. When he heard a cry for help, he dared not ignore it. That’s what Jesus told the Jewish legal expert. If he was here today, and if he could speak to our federal, provincial and local governments, he would say the same thing: “When you see a need or hear a cry for help, you dare not ignore it. You must do what you can to help.” As Canadians, we have always prided ourselves in being good neighbors who were not afraid to come to the aid of people in need. And we have been more than generous in doing so. Canadians have consistently been among
the highest in per capita giving to emergency appeals, community agencies and charitable organizations—especially to churches and foreign mission societies. We have done this despite losing almost 50 per cent of our gross income to taxes, fees and other charges paid to three levels of government. We have given our time to help build communities of which we can be justly proud. In the early years of the last century, we worked together to help our neighbors build homes, farm buildings, corrals, fences and whatever else a neighbor might need. In our spare time, we built schools, churches, sports facilities and community halls. They are our legacy to our children; and they are now taking ownership of these facilities and using
them in ways that meet their families’ needs. And we have given our children—our young men and women. Some went overseas as part of Canada’s contribution to the allied forces in World Wars I and II. Some went to Korea. Others have served as peace keepers and more recently, as active duty personnel in the Middle East. Wherever they have gone, they have worked hard, fought bravely and in some cases “died with their faces to the foe.” They were good neighbors. They heard a cry for help and answered it. They did what they could and they gave what they had (even to the extent of laying down their lives) to help a neighbor in need. Their example, their courage and their sacrifice is their legacy to us. In a few days, we will stand in silence to honor them; and thank them for teaching us a lesson we must never forget.
Surrounded by life, do we really see our world?
T
he presentation was part of an all day seminar. The topic was compassion. Interesting presenters and a thought provoking group of people. It was a short video clip. Two young fish were swimming along. An older fish approached and asked, “How’s the water?” As the senior fish swims away, the young ones continue for a second before one turns to the other and asks, “What the * is water?” How often do we get so busy, so caught up in the daily grind, or so worn down, that we don’t notice our environment? Surrounded by life, do we really see our world? This reflection did exactly what it was supposed to do. It made me wonder how blind I am to what is going on around me. Am I unheeding and unmindful of the
HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen blessings and wonders that fill my world? Am I always looking for the next great adventure, the next goal – short term or long term – not being present for the wonders of right now? Is the agenda of the week more than I can bear? And this is from someone who is not balancing family and career, not rushing off to school events and social commitments. I devotedly hope not! I pride myself on my observation of the people and life around me. And just saying that “I pride myself” sounds presumptuous! I

randdaughter Chantelle is running overtime in her pregnancy.

do take time to marvel at the turning of the seasons, the marvels of creation. I try to see the person beside, ahead or behind me when I move through my day. Some of the most delightful exchanges are unexpected visits at the post office or gas station! I attempt to note the general emotions of the folks in my world. Whether their day is going well or not. Small gestures of kindness, a door held open, a driver giving way to me, or the courtesy extended – even if required- by a clerk or server. Thank you and
please trip lightly from my lips, a smile is shared with a stranger. Little rays of light in a shadowed world. But – and there’s the word that changes a conversation! But there are days when my grief, my sorrow, my introspective nature, closes my eyes to all the marvels of my world. The pressures of what must be done and what should be done, and what could be done, come crowding. And so, I expect, it is for most people. We are not a careless or ignorant bunch. We are fellow travellers on our journeys. There will be times, too many I fear, when I stop and ask myself, “How’s the water?” and pause long enough to know that it is the life and breath around me. May I not wake up on morning wondering, “What the * is water?”
My husband is running overtime in his life. According to the neurologist he only had six to nine months to live. The nine months ended the end of March this year and he is still with us and still able to be at home. The doctors do not have all the answers and we certainly do not know if we run short of time or are running overtime. We will get all our questions answered when we enter Heaven and see God face to face. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:12 “Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” Again another lesson to just live one day at a time and make the most of it.

Letters Dear Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa voters: Thank you all for your political engagement and participation in our 42nd Parliament. I appreciate the media publishers and editors for their fair and comprehensive coverage so that voters might have an informed choice regarding the candidates, their parties and their own positions on the issues of the day. Thanks and congratulations to all fellow candidates for stepping up to the plate to present these. Thanks to community organizations who provided venues for all the candidates. Thanks personally for an opportunity to articulate our NDP vision for change in Canada and our local constituency of Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa. Thank you for promoting our Canadian democracy. For our part, and those who supported the New Democratic Party, I offer these observations. What do the Toronto Blue Jays and the NDP have in common? We had an amazing start! We almost made it to the World Series! We will be back to win! As Jack Layton urged us, “Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done!” We lost a battle; we lost a game, but we will soldier on! The promising autumn orange leaves fell to the ground just a bit too early! But, the hope of spring and rebirth is coming! As noted in Thomas Mulcair’s email to me, “Monday’s election results weren’t exactly what we had hoped for...Thank you for everything you have done – now, let’s begin the next chapter.” On behalf of my wife, Lois, and me, as well as those who worked in the campaign, thanks! Our pro bono campaign manager and e-day organizer, David Rehaluk, worked in the office daily. Our pro bono official agent and office manager, Mark Tiefenbach, handled all financial administrative work and daily dealt with incoming office calls, visits and inquiries. Our pro bono candidate assistant, Joy Frett, was my parade and travel chauffeur, as well as tech specialist. Together with our team of zone coordinators in the Swan River, Dauphin, Riding Mountain and Agassiz Zones, they handled and arranged for our involvement in parades, candidates’ debates, putting up signs, canvassing, phoning, scrutineering, local events and meetings, media, main-streeting including visits to Hutterite colonies, First Nations, schools, some 40 municipal council meetings and other smaller communities such as Pine River, Ethelbert, Bowsman, San Clara, Clanwilliam, Binscarth, Sandy Lake, Russell, Roblin, McAulay, St. Lazare, Miniota, Beulah and Glenella, etc. Special thanks to our provincial NDP MLAs Ron Kostyshyn, Stan Struthers, Drew Caldwell, and Tom Nevakshonoff for their invaluable support and facilitation in their zone areas of our constituency. Thanks to Premier Greg Selinger for gracing our CNUF parade with his presence as well. Tom Mulcair’s rally in Winnipeg enabled our local team members to meet and greet him as well as have pictures taken with him and their copies of his autobiography signed. This was a tremendous keepsake for our youth component and their involvement. As we look forward to the provincial election on April 19, 2016, I solicit your partnership, support and vote of confidence to help keep our region engaged and motivated by addressing our local youth, seniors, infrastructure, rural economy, agriculture, education and health concerns. Let’s maintain a strong NDP presence in the four provincial zones of Dauphin, Swan River, Riding Mountain and Agassiz. Our provincial NDP government can bring about a sense of hope, peace and prosperity Thanks again. “Don’t limit your challenges but challenge your limits.” Laverne M Lewycky Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa NDP Candidate

Pair of accidents take place north of Neepawa By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner On Nov. 2, shortly after midnight, officers from the Neepawa RCMP were called to a collision involving two vehicles in the northbound lane on Highway 5, approximately 4 km north of Highway 16 in the RM of Rosedale. Officers and emergency personnel arrived at the scene and found both vehicles with front end damage. The driver of one of the vehicles, a 68 year-old female and her 70 year-old male passenger, both from Glenella-Lansdowne were pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle, a 19 year-old male as well as a 20 year-old female passenger, both from Ebb and Flow First Nation were also pronounced deceased at the scene. Police haven’t released the names of the victims.
At this time, contributing factors for the collision have not been confirmed. A RCMP forensic collision reconstructionist is assisting with the ongoing investigation. Spruce Plains Acting Staff Sgt Mark Morehouse, said that autopsies are also being conducted on the victims as part of the investigation. An unrelated accident occurred on the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 30, at the junction of 90N and the “Old Highway” between a gravel truck and a pick up. Morehouse explained that in this accident, the driver of the semi went through a stop sign and will be issued a ticket. Both drivers were taken to hospital and later released.

Quilt raffle raises money for Alzheimer’s Society Submitted The Neepawa Banner The students, staff, and community members of Forest Home School/Riverdale Hutterite Colony near Gladstone were busy selling tickets over the past
few months for a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Society. A quilt was generously made and donated by a couple of ladies from the community to the school children’s project. Karen Lambert, Regional Coordinator for the Alz-
heimer Society and Judy Breckman, a volunteer with the Society, came to the school and did an informal presentation on dementia and Alzheimer’s for the students and community members. Following this, they had the quilt raffle
draw. The lucky winner was Ms. Helen Waldner of Riverdale Hutterian Community. The students raised $704 and handed it over to the Alzheimer’s Society with pride of their accomplishments. On behalf of the Alzheimer Society Karen would like to thank the
students, their teacher, Mary Hofer and their community for this generous fund raising project and for choosing the Alzheimer Society as recipient. Funds raised go toward programs and services offered by The Alzheimer Society to those with a dementia disease as well

Neepawa Tigers up for RMFL year-end awards
FILE PHOTO BY EOIN DEVEREUX
After a united effort in the Rural Manitoba Football League regular season, several members of the NACI Tigers are now up for year-end awards. By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Several members of the Neepawa Tigers are vying for year-end awards in the Rural Manitoba Football League. Receiver Jeremy Roe has been singled out as Neepawa’s representative for the league’s most outstanding player on offence, while
Will Birnie has received the nod to be Tigers’ nominee for outstanding defensive player of the year. Other NACI players who are up for awards include Brodie Miller and Dillan Neufeld for outstanding lineman offence and defence respectively. Taine Middleton is up for the rookie of the year honour and Scott Dowd is one
of the nominees for the Norris Aiken Leadership Award. The award winners will be announced at the league banquet, later this month. As for the playoffs, the Neepawa Tigers will play for the Murray Black Cup on Saturday, Nov. 7, against the Virden Golden Bears. Neepawa advanced to the consolation final
with a 40-19 win over East Park. Virden made its way to the final by topping Southwest 39-6. As for the league championship, it will be Dauphin playing Swan Valley for the Doug Steeves Cup.

NACI Hockey hosts Slasher Showcase By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner The Neepawa Tigers are ready for the Westman High School Hockey League (WHSHL) season. But before the regular season officially begins, the Tigers had a chance to test themselves against some familiar foes, as they hosted the annual Slasher Showdown at the Yellowhead Centre. The Showdown opened for the Tigers on Thursday, Oct. 29, against the Minnedosa Chancellors. Neepawa was able to defeat Minnedosa 3-0, to move on to the championship bracket. Will Rainka, Braden Gillies and Brennan Wiebe all scored for the host team, while Brenden Funk notched the shutout. Neepawa’s next game would not be so easy however, as they tangled with the team who defeated them in the 2014-2015 WHSHL championship series, the Vincent Massey Vikings. Much like last year’s final, it was the Vikings who were able to execute on their opportunities, as they were victorious by a 5-0 score. The first period remained scoreless, but Vincent Massey was able to open things up in the second, scoring on four occasions. The fifth goal was notched in the third. With the win, Vincent Massey advanced to the final, while Neepawa found itself battling for bronze. The last game of the weekend for Neepawa would be a penalty filled matchup versus the Portage Trojans. Both teams combined for 61 minutes of penalties, in a very chippy affair. As for the score, it was Portage who ended the evening on top, winning 4-0. Neepawa will now focus on their regular season home opener on Friday, Nov. 6 versus Minnedosa. Opening face-off for the Tigers is scheduled for 7:15 pm. The Tigers will play their second league game in Dauphin on Saturday, Nov. 7. Game time is set for 2:00 pm.
Another solid weekend for Yellowhead Submitted The Neepawa Banner The AAA Midget Female Yellowhead Chiefs continued their winning ways with a pair of victories in league play over the weekend. The Chiefs are now 5-0 in Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League action and have only allowed one goal in those five games. On Friday, Oct. 30, Yellowhead played the Central Plains Capitals in Portage la Prairie. Coming off a dominating win over the Capitals the previous weekend, the Chiefs knew this would be a much tighter affair. The visitors came out flying as they held the host team in their own end for the first 10 minutes of the game. However, Central Plains found some life after being awarded a power-play and the rest of the period was very close, with strong physical play at the BDO Centre in Portage la Prairie. The Chiefs would score the only goal of the evening at the midway point of the second period, as defenceman McKenna Paddock continued her offensive contributions of late with a well placed point shot that was deflected into the goal by Cass Lyttle. Jena Barscello picked up the other assist. The rest of the game was described by
the coaches as a battle, with goaltender Miranda Cook turning aside 20 shots, but several of those opportunites being great scoring chances for the Capitals. The Chiefs defended the one goal lead to the end and took the victory in a great game between the two rivals. On Saturday, Oct. 31, the Chiefs hosted the Norman Wild. The young squad from the north has struggled early in the season, but the Chiefs knew they had to continue their strong play against a hungry opponent. The veteran line of Hannah Fouillard, Sam Geekie and Tatum Amy took this game on their shoulders and led the Chiefs providing all the goals in a 5-0 victory. Fouillard and Geekie contributed two goals and two assists each with Amy adding a goal and an assist. Assists also came from McKenna Paddock, Lainie Nichols and Sydnee DeCorby with a pair. Emma Greenwood earned the victory and the shutout with a 12 save effort. The Chiefs will have some time off from game action, as captain Jalyn Elmes and assistant captain Hannah Fouillard will join Team Manitoba for the U-18 National tournament in Huntsville Ontario. The rest of the Chiefs will practice and continue to prepare for their next game, a home contest with the Westman Wildcats on Wednesday, November 11 at 2:00 pm.

Chiefs goalie wins monthly award 2 0 1 5 - 2 0 1 6 Neepawa Natives Player Profiles
By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner For every hockey team, goaltending plays a major role in a team’s success and Yellowhead Chiefs’ Riley Lamb has been the example that proves that rule. The 17-year-old’s stellar play in October has been noticed, as Lamb has been named the Motel 6 Goaltender of the Month in the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League. Lamb played eight of his team’s 11 games in October, posting a 5-1-0-2 record with a save percentage of .943, a goals-against-average of 1.71 and one shutout. The 5-foot-11, 158-pound native of Rivers won his last four starts as Yellowhead compiled a 6-2-0-3 record to sit in fourth place. Other award recipients for October were Brad Goethals of the Eastman Selects, who picked up the Super 8 Offensive Player of the Month honour. Goethals scored at least one point in 12 of the 13 games the Eastman Selects played in October and had 11 multi-point games during the month. The Source for Sports Defensive Player of the Month was Garrett Kuklica of the Winnipeg Thrashers. Besides his stellar defensive play, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Kuklica has chipped in with a pair of goals and nine assists, six of which have come on the power play.

Obituary It is with sadness, the family of Henry Allan McIvor announces his passing on October 26, 2015 at the age of 59. Allan was born on July 19, 1956 in Gladstone, Manitoba. He attended school in Gladstone and graduated from WMCI in 1974. During these school years many will remember Allan as their local paper boy. After high school, he attended the University of Manitoba for one year and then he came home to work at the local Co-op Farm Supply Store. He then started work at Third Crossing Manor as a Health Care Aide until poor health forced his retirement. Family was very important to Allan. He always enjoyed going out to the McIvor and Broadfoot farms to visit with family. His main hobbies were reading, listening to music and watching sports. He enjoyed watching his nephews and nieces in their local sporting events. Allan was predeceased by his father Henry McIvor in 1980. He is survived by his mother, Betty McIvor, sister Nancy (Ken) Lewis, brother Brent (Wendy) McIvor, brother Robert (Nicole) McIvor, and sister Donna Christie. He also leaves behind his nieces and nephews: Shaun (Jenny) McIvor, Alison (Craig) Vinnell, Jessica McIvor, Andrew ( Kendell Thomas) Lewis, Karleigh Lewis, Claire Keller, Julia and Blaine McIvor, Alex, Jack and Jordyn Christie, and great niece and nephew, Danielle and Parker McIvor. As per Allan’s wishes, there will be a private family graveside service. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Allan’s memory to a charity of one’s choice. The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the staff at Portage and District Hospital, the staff at Third Crossing Manor Gladstone and the home care staff at Centennial Apartments.

Submitted Metro News Service Fall and winter can be tough on your home and your wallet. As temperatures drop, chances are your furnace will be working overtime. This results in two things — greater energy consumption and higher heating bills. In fact, costs associated with heating and cooling a home year-round typically comprise two-thirds of the average energy bill. Try these easy DIY projects to help cut down on energy loss and expenses:

3. Insulate basement headers and walls. Uninsulated basement headers are common, especially in older homes. They can act as a gateway for heated air to escape. Fixing the problem is fast and easy. Simply cut insulation to fit the cavity and compress into place. Doing this throughout your basement will prevent heat loss and can potentially save hundreds of dollars each year.

4. Caulk around windows. Cracks and crevices are a source of heat loss. They can also be an entry point for water/moisture, as well as for unwelcome insects. Preventative maintenance, such as caulking, can improve energy efficiency and prevent costly repairs. 5. Change your furnace filter. Make it a point to check your furnace filter monthly, always changing it when it’s dirty. This will improve the performance and efficiency of your furnace, saving you money.

1. Replace worn weather-stripping around doors and windows. Worn weather-stripping can create drafts and let heated air out, stressing your furnace and compromising your comfort. Replacing it takes little time and is a low-cost, high-impact solution. 2. Top up or replace old insulation in your attic. A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss. Also, over time, some types of insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps. Experts recommend topping up or replacing attic insulation with a dimensionally stable batt insulation. Aim for an R-value of at least R-50 or a depth of roughly 16 inches.

Ribbon cutting on Nov. 7 Submitted Elkhorn Resort The Elkhorn Resort Spa & Conference Centre and Time Share Partner NCC#3 welcomes guests to the brand new $5 million pool and fitness facility. The 10,000 square feet pool features a beach entrykiddie pool area, a bucket brigade, a lily pad walk and lap lane. A 20 foot high water slide with a splash lane provides an exciting component to the space. Two hot tubs, one indoor and one outdoor provides a relaxing element for adults. “We’re really pleased with how the facility turned out,” said Chris Phillips, general manager. “The 2,500 square feet patio is going to be a really popular place during summers. We’ll put out tables, chairs and lounge chairs where people can relax and enjoy a view of the grounds. ” This modern amenity replaces a 40 year old pool and took a little over a year to complete. It houses a games room with a pool table and foosball table; and also provides a fitness room with a range of
exercise equipment. A ribbon cutting ceremony is set to take place on Nov. 7 at 1 pm to celebrate the new addition to
the resort. Elkhorn Resort opened in the 1960s and is currently owned by Gary Buckley and Ian Sarna.
