In last week’s article about Beyond the Garden Gate and the new salon, Studio One, included some incorrect information. In the article, it said Sandra Turner purchased the front half of the store at 374 Mountain Avenue (pictured above) to convert into a salon and that Brent Hunter would still have the flower business in the back. Sandra Turner actually purchased the whole building, including the Beyond the Garden Gate business, and is converting the front half to a salon, while keeping the floral business at the back. Brent Hunter will remain as an employee at Beyond the Garden Gate as a floral designer, but Sandra Turner now owns the business.

Sisters Jade and Shaelyn Leflar collected donations of grad dresses from local girls to send to Fort McMurray. By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner Two sisters from Neepawa made an effort to send some glamour to graduating girls in Fort McMurray who lost theirs in the recent fire. Eighteen-year-old Shaelyn and 21-year-old Jade Leflar reached out to girls who have graduated from NACI in the past few years to see if they would be interested in donating their grad dresses to send to Alberta. “Actually, a girl from Brandon I know started collecting [dresses] and I heard about it, so I decided that
Tim’s annual Camp Week coming soon By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner Starting next week, people in town will be able to get their caffeine kick while supporting a good cause. From May 23 to June 1, Tim Horton’s will be celebrating their annual Camp Week. During this time, the restaurant will be selling bracelets, with proceeds going to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation’s camp programs. The official Camp Day is on June 1 and all proceeds from coffee sales will go to the Tim Hortons camps. On Camp Day, Neepawa Tim Hortons invites a special guest to the coffee shop to help celebrate the occasion. This year’s guest
is yet to be determined. The shop also has donation jars, where people can drop their change or make a donation directly to the camp programs. This year, there is at least one kid from Neepawa who will be taking advantage of the Tim Hortons camp programs. The cost of the camps are covered by the foundation and are meant to give children who may not be able to afford camp a place to have fun, while building a sense of self-esteem, meeting new friends and trying new things. Anyone can support Camp Week by buying a bracelet, making a donation or buying coffee on Camp Day.

I would donate my grad and escort dresses,” explained Shaelyn, who finished high school last year. Jade added, “I then had the idea that I should ask my friends if they wanted to donate theirs as well, but I did not have everyone’s cell phone numbers to contact them individually, so I made a post on my Facebook page. It was shared 14 times by my friends and I had people contact me to donate that I never would have thought about asking in the first place.” In total, the Leflar girls received 19 dresses in three days from NACI graduates. “We didn’t think we would get such a big response, we were shocked, actually!” Shaelyn said. “It not only shocked us but reassured us that people in Neepawa are always willing to help others in need,” added Jade. “We thought we’d only get a couple besides mine and hers, it was truly amazing. My whole bed was covered in dresses, I couldn’t even see it anymore,” explained Shaelyn. They took the load of dresses to Shaelyn’s friend in Brandon on May 9 so she could send them with the dresses she collected. “Her friend was taking them to Mainline Motors in Virden, as they were collecting anything that people wanted to donate and they were going to take a fleet of vehicles out with all the donations,” Jade explained. Shaelyn added that even as they were on their way to Brandon, there were girls sending them messages wanting to donate their dresses too. “It made me so proud that people who have spent hundreds of dollars on their dresses were willing to donate so that a person that they will most likely never meet will be able to have a dress and feel beautiful on their grad day after going through such a horrifying experience,” said Jade. “It’s truly amazing how a bunch of girls from here had such a big heart to help others,” Shaelyn said. “I hope that girls in Fort [McMurray] will feel as amazing as we did in our dresses and that we make their day a bit better!”

t was an impressive scene to watch the parade of 40 new PC MLAs parade into their swearing-in ceremony last week. Not since 1915 had such a large group of MLAs from one party been sworn into government. The throne speech was impressive this past Monday, but was basically a re-stating of the PC election platform. A look at the seat map for the legislature shows the 40 PC seats, the 14 NDP and the three liberals in their seating arrangement. It’s a massive majority for the PC party and Premier Brian Pallister. If the PCs do their job right, Manitoba can become a much better place to live. The NDP had descended into an abyss of closed minded methods that left innovation on the scrap heap of history. They were hide-bound in their determination to not allow anything to happen in Manitoba that was not union driven, publicly funded and heavily regulated. The NDP went far beyond safety concerns and normal care and caution to bind the imaginations and initiative of Manitobans in a dull grey, wet blanket of suppression. Even the NDP became tired of the NDP ways and realized that their government was out of gas, out of ideas, beyond logic and with no chance of re-capturing the imagination and faith of Manitobans. So the PC party has four years to assess where Manitoba is at, bring about necessary changes and go back to the electorate for a renewed mandate. They need to act carefully but decisively. The proposed legislation for union certification and de-certification needs to be passed quickly. It has been the height of arrogance and irony that Manitoba labour has been subjected to a very undemocratic method. To not have had secret ballots in union

Ken Waddell halls across Manitoba is an embarrassment to all Manitobans. Secret ballots have to be brought back, they are the sacred heart of democracy and true freedom. The PCs have to find out how bad the debt is and it is bad, about $32 billion. That figure seems ridiculous for a province our size, but it is what it is. The debt will have to be addressed and the first step is to make sure it doesn’t go higher. Seeing as the budget comes out at the end of May, two full months into the fiscal year, will mean there will be a deficit, another addition to the debt. Definitions are important. Many people don’t understand the significance of the debt. Provinces don’t pay back debt, they simply revolve it. Some debt is paid off each year, but equal or greater debt is added. The debt continues to grow as long as there is an annual deficit. There is a difference between deficit and debt. Deficits (or surpluses) are annual. Deficits get added to the debt load, surpluses either reduce the debt or get put into reserve funds. The new government has to decide what it is going to do. More importantly, it has to decide what it is not going to do. The government should make it clear to First Nations communities that the province does not have direct responsibility for First Nations affairs, that’s the federal government’s job. The province
also has no obligation to bail out industries or communities. That is neither the responsibility of the province nor the federal government. Because communities and industries have become so dependent on government loans, subsidies and grants, it will take a while to institute a weaning program. Like a cow herd in the fall when the calves are taken from the cows, there will be a lot of bawling. The province needs to sort out what the various levels of government are responsible for. While there is a huge overlap provincially, federally and municipally, there are many things that don’t get done very well. How do I know that? It’s quite easy. While there is much hoopla about human rights, the very basic human right of clean water has been denied to many communities in Manitoba. Perhaps the biggest area for improvement can come if the government actually carries through in its plan to partner with private initiative on capital projects. Many communities need more care home spaces. That is an obvious area where private capital and provincial money can come together to make this happen. It’s a pretty simple system to leverage a huge investment in our seniors well being and in the economy in general. We have a huge opportunity to bring about meaningful long term change. Fairly and firmly, it must come about.

have a confession. Despite living in Ontario for my first 13 years and making many trips to Ottawa, until last week, I had never actually been to Parliament Hill. When I found myself in Ottawa with a couple of hours to kill, I made arrangements through our constituency office to check out this iconic Canadian landmark. I stopped by on Friday afternoon, unfortunately, neither the House of C o m - MY m o n s n o r PERSPECTIVE the Senate were in session. While it would have ate been a great experience to ackman tkinson see government in action, we still had plenty to see. In April and May, tulips are a ubiquitous sight around the capital region. The tulips date back to 1943, when Dutch Princess Juliana gave birth to daughter Princess Margriet at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The royal family were in exile following the Nazi invasion of Holland and in order for the newborn to hold only Dutch citizenship, instead of dual nationality, the hospital was temporarily declared extraterritorial by the Government of Canada. In 1945, as a show of gratitude to the country that had welcomed her and to the Canadian soldiers’ role in liberating her country, Princess Juliana sent a number of gifts, including 100,000 tulip bulbs. The gift of tulips has continued since, but this year, there are special tulips gracing the city. In honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, the new Canada 150 tulip was unveiled earlier this month. More than 200,000 of the flowers, which have a white bloom with a red flame, can be seen across the capital region. This fall, you can buy your own. The original Centre Block, home of the House of Commons, Senate and iconic Peace Tower was destroyed by a fire on Feb. 3, 1916. The fire claimed the lives of seven people and its cause remains a mystery. With Canada in the depths of World War I, some have speculated that it was intentionally set as an act of German sabotage. Although careless smoking and faulty wiring are equally likely. The Centre Block was rebuilt and the building we see today was opened in 1920. A special exhibit is currently on display in the Library of Parliament commemorating the fire. It’s an apt location, the Library is the only part of the original building still standing, as someone closed the library’s iron doors when the fire broke out. The stone corridor leading into the library is also original, but its walls, as well as the library’s door frame, bear marks of a more recent attack. This is where two years ago, Parliament Hill shooter Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was brought down by Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons, Kevin Vickers, and members of an RCMP tactical team. You can see the patched bullet holes in the stonework. All around, the hallways, foyers and alcoves bear reminders of the country’s past. Past prime ministers, past speakers and past kings and queens. The most recent addition to the Prime Ministers’ portrait gallery, Paul Martin’s portrait, was unveiled early last week. There is also a portrait of Queen Victoria, painted in 1842, which has survived at least four fires. The painting is smaller than it was originally, as it had to be cut from its frame in order to be saved from one of the fires. Throughout the building, there are reminders of Canada’s status as a federation of provinces. There are provincial crests on the Centennial Flame, the monument that greets visitors when they enter the grounds. There are provincial coats of arms and symbols all over the building, including in the stained glass above the Senate foyer and in the ceiling and stained glass windows of the House of Commons. About 355,000 visitors come each year to see the Centre Block and this year, I can proudly say that I was one of them.

One step at a time
E
very year I meet at least one person who has slipped on an icy patch of concrete or pavement and suffered a broken wrist or hand. Their stories are the same. It was an accident and accidents happen. The bone took less than a second to break. It will take weeks to heal. The same is true when we are confronted with sudden changes in other aspects of life. The words: “You’re being laid off” or “I want a divorce” can hit you like a bolt out of the blue; leaving you in shock and gasping for breath, wondering what to do next. You know one thing for sure. Life will never be as it was. You can’t go back to the old job; the marriage (even if a reconciliation takes place and many do) will never be what it was (hopefully it will be better) and there are some opportunities for service (especially in organized religion) that may not come your way once some of your life experiences are
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein disclosed. Don’t despair if that happens. God has a plan. Let him work it out in his way and in his time. Your job and my job is to follow his instructions and move forward one step at a time. I had to face this issue myself several years ago. In some branches of organized religion, a failed marriage disqualifies one from serving as pastor of a church. The rest are reluctant to consider a recently divorced person for permanent assignment because they want to see evidence of healing and recovery first. As painful as it was for me to face these facts of ministerial life, I must say that I understand why these policies are in place and that, for the most part,
I agree with them. These policies, as painful as they were for me to face and as hard as they were for me to accept, turned out to be the guideposts that pointed me in the direction God wanted me to go. The man he used to help me see this was the counselor who walked me through the process of forgiveness I spoke about a few weeks ago. He asked me one question: “What did God call you to do—minister to his people or be tied to a church?” My answer: “Minister to his people.” “Then,” he said, “stop working so hard to get another church! Let God lead you to the people he wants you to serve. If he wants you there for one Sunday,
go for one on Sunday. If he wants you there longer, stay longer. Just go where God wants you to go and do what he asks you to do.” That is how I have spent the last 15 years of my life. I go to “where two or three (mostly 20-30) are gathered in God’s name” and I worship with them, pray with them and share some words of encouragement. I have spoken at least once in 25 different churches since January 1, 2000. Every service, every sermon, every handshake at the door and every conversation over lunch or coffee has been a step forward in the path of healing and restoration God mapped out for me. I have found God’s words to St. Paul to be absolutely true. God’s grace has been sufficient for me. His strength has been revealed in my weakness. I do not want to go through the hard times again, but I would not trade them for anything. I am who I am because of them.
I did it! - part three, the final W ith reluctance but with wisdom, I chose to stay on the barge, the Elodie, for Wednesday. We had docked in Delft and first thing in the morning, we crossed the street and toured the Delft ceramic factory. Watching the craftsmen at work, meticulously hand painting the designs, I gained a clear understanding that the asking price for any true piece is fair. Another one of the tour group also stayed on board and we had a fantastic time, swapping stories and getting to know each other. The group arrived back at the barge, now at Leiden, by mid afternoon and so Marie and I went for a lengthy walkabout. Thursday was a split day. We took an early morning ride out to a dairy farm known for their cheese production. The size of some of the cheese rounds was impressive.
HOMEBODIES
Rita Friesen The klompen ready at the door, the cheese tasting opportunity and the rural ride out to the site all made the short ride worthwhile. Eight miles out and back to Leiden for an afternoon of exploring the city. Marie and I headed off, first to an ancient cemetery, then to a weaving museum housed in a home built in the 1500s. The three small rooms had housed multiple families – at the same time – and an abundance of university students. Museum staff operated the ancient loom and workmanship was fantastic here as well. Walking through the city, we paused to admire the houseboats lining the canal walls. Tall

W
hen we walk through life, there are many decisions that are made. Some are festive when we rejoice in the wedding date of a grandchild, others are very serious, like when graduation of a grandchild is in sight and what to do next. The decision is made to move to a different house, maybe in a different town or province. Where and when will the move be?
ships converted to homes, barges and boats filled with families and businesses, space in the cities is at a premium. One of the highlights of the week – the advertised draw- were the fields of flowers in the Keukenhof area. My diary entry for the day: ‘there really are no words to describe the sight and smell of acres and acres of daffodils, hyacinths and tulips. Rows of colours, the air heavy with the rich fragrance of the blossoms and then there was the tourist centre! Display buildings filled with exotic flowers and fanciful displays. Miles and miles of rural biking, soft rain falling, hot chocolate calling.’

Our evening walkabout was in the city of Haarlem, ancient cathedrals and market stalls, people and bikes and history. Not a one of us were eager for the week to be over, but Saturday would see us back in Amsterdam. Leaving Haarlem, we stopped at the Hans Brinker statute. Many of my generation read the story of Hans and the silver skates, it was a little disheartening to find out the tale is a myth! The ride into the city was along a winding country trail, sometimes we were fighting a fierce head wind and then, turning a corner, we could coast. We were on our own for supper, but in light of it being our last evening meal together, we gathered at a local eatery, not far from our docked barge. Would I do it again? Absolutely! (Five star rating by passengers, excellent crew and guide)
Karen Kingsbury, one of my favorite authors, wrote this line in one of her books: “Sometimes, life is so hard, you can only do the next thing. Whatever that is, just do the next thing, God will meet you there.” We need to accept the fact that doing just the next thing is enough and knowing that “the Lord continually guide you (us)” (Isaiah 58:11). When we let Him have His way in our life we know that “God shall supply all your (our) needs according to His riches in glory” (Philippians 4:19). We have a wonderful God when we learn to lean on Him.
Fear of freedom of information
For governments, dealing with freedom of information laws can be like juggling dynamite — one wrong move can have explosive results. For investigative journalists, opposition parties and groups such as the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), these laws are indispensable for digging up documents to defend taxpayer interests. Virtually every accountability issue, from the federal sponsorship scandal to former Alberta premier Alison Redford’s sky palace, involves documents obtained through freedom of information laws. Today, we’re seeing both important advances in, and serious threats to, government transparency. On the plus side, Canadians will now be able to send access to information requests to the federal government for no cost beyond the $5 filing fee. In the past, the government imposed fees for requests deemed large or complex, which totalled $56,000 in 2014-15. This is good news for Canadians, because fees are often used by governments to discourage digging. It’s also silly to charge taxpayers for documents they already paid to produce. As a report released last year by the Office of the Information Commissioner in Ottawa stated, fees “are also contrary to the concept that government information is a national resource that has been funded by taxpayers.” The government of British Columbia has been dogged by criticism over how it handled freedom of information requests, after it was found to have delayed responses and deleted emails. The government responded by committing to major reforms, including proactively releasing more information and restricting political interference. It’s also thinking about waving the $60,000 in fees it collects each year. Unfortunately, the Saskatchewan government is keeping documents in the dark. The provincial government is facing questions because the Global Transportation Hub, a Crown-owned inland port, purchased 204 acres of land for $103,000 per acre and then sold it to the provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure for $50,000 to $65,000 per acre. The CTF filed freedom of information requests for documents associated with the deal and got hit with fees totalling $7,240. That seemed outrageous to us, but it gets worse. CBC Saskatchewan also submitted requests and the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure responded with a fee demand of $69,645 and the Global Transportation Hub went even higher with a charge of $111,842. Across the border in Manitoba, the new Progressive Conservative government is taking a different approach. During the election, the Manitoba Conservatives promised to “create an open data portal to provide government-collected data, that is non personal or confidential, in an accessible, machine readable and free basis.” In other words, Manitoba’s new government won’t just wait for citizens to ask for documents or pay fees; instead, it will proactively provide more information online for free and in easy-to-use formats, such as spreadsheets. And while it is commendable that some provinces are taking steps to improve access to information, we shouldn’t forget that people living in First Nations communities also have a right to learn about how their chiefs and band councils are spending public money. Yet, when Shauna Buffalo Calf asked for receipts justifying her chief’s $83,646 in expenses, as well other basic documents pertaining to the First Nation near Maple Creek, SK, she was told that no information would be released. In fact, her band responded with a letter saying it’s only obligated to release information that’s subject to the First Nations Financial Transparency Act — a piece of legislation that Indigenous and Northern Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett has announced the federal government will no longer enforce. It’s understandable that governments are often fearful of freedom of information laws, but they shouldn’t be. For every government brought down by scandal, there are many others that stay out of harm’s way because these laws keep them within appropriate bounds. It’s vital to both governments and those who hold them accountable to protect and strengthen these laws. Todd MacKay, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

McGillivray recognized for 50 years of membership Banner Staff The Neepawa Banner On April 28, the Rotary Club of Neepawa held its annual Paul Harris Evening, honouring the support given to the Rotary Foundation for local and international projects. At the event, Roy McGillivray was given a certificate recognizing his 50 years as a member of Rotary. McGillivray was presented the award by Ken Krebs, District 5550 Governor, which covers Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and portions of Northern Ontario. In addition, one of the awards given at the Paul Harris Evening was the Tony Otten Award. This
year, it was given to 201516 Rotary President Rrain Prior. Tony Otten was a local business person and a Neepawa Rotarian. Tony left $25,000 in his will to the Neepawa Rotary Club. The interest on the fund was to be used annually to recognize and reward a Rotarian who demonstrated an outstanding contribution to the club by awarding them with a Paul Harris Fellowship. In his presentation of the award, Rotarian Wayne Hildebrand said, “This year’s deserving recipient is the first female president, in the 65 year history of the Neepawa Rotary Club.” Hildebrand went on to
outline Prior’s community involvement, saying, “Many of us know Rrain as a strong supporter of the Neepawa and area arts community. Rrain is a member of the community choir, she recently became a member of the Neepawa and Area Library Board, she has been on the Margaret Lawrence Board for two years, she is vice president of the Arts Club, she is treasurer of the Whitemud Comedy Club, and as Director of Programming at ArtsForward, Rrain has a huge impact on the arts and cultural experiences that enrich our lives in this community.” Prior has previously served on the club’s executive as the youth chair,
and as president elect. Hildebrand pointed out some of Prior’s goals during her term, saying, “Rrain has strived to engage club member conversations on: what is important to the club, and, in what directions does the club need to move? With Rrain’s leadership, we now have a new Rotary Facebook page and business memberships – these are firsts for our club!” Hildebrand concluded, saying, “We appreciate your outstanding work and contribution to the Neepawa Rotary Club, and we are pleased to recognize you as a very deserving recipient of the 2016 Tony Otten Award.”

‘Trojan horse’ bill could have huge impact By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner Last week, farmers, hunters and anglers breathed a collective sigh of relief. The controversial federal bill, C-246, the Modernizing Animal Protections Act, came for second reading in the House of Commons, but doesn’t appear to have the support of government. The bill was presented as a private member’s bill and according to its sponsor, Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (Beaches—East York, Lib.), the bill seeks to accomplish three goals: first, a ban on the importation of shark fins; second, a ban on the importation and sale of cat and dog fur and a requirement to label the source of fur; and third, the modernization and strengthening of existing animal cruelty offences in Canada’s Criminal Code. Every Private Member’s Bill must be debated for two hours at each stage. The first hour of debate took place May 9 and the second hour will take place at some time during the fall legislative session. The bill would amend the Criminal Code, the Fisheries Act, the Textile Labelling Act, the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act and the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (animal protection). Many worried that its vague wording would open the door to the prosecution of Canadians participating in generally accepted forms of animal use, including hunting, fishing, medical research and farming. Robert Sopuck, the MP for Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, has been a vocal opponent of the bill and spoke during the second reading. “Let me be clear,” he said, “We all support animal welfare, but animal welfare is a far cry from animal rights. Canada has good animal welfare legislation at both the provincial and federal levels. However, Bill C-246 is a Trojan horse that would advance a pure animal rights agenda.” Sopuck, like most other opponents of the bill, had two major areas of concern. The first was the addition of the word “recklessly” into the section 182.1, so that it reads, “Everyone commits an offence who, wilfully or recklessly, causes or, being the owner, permits to be caused unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal.” Sopuck explained that the change would expand the kind of conduct that could be criminalized. The other major area of concern was the addition of two new offices which aren’t currently in the Criminal Code. These include the offences of killing an animal or, being the owner, permitting an animal to be killed, brutally or viciously, regardless of whether the animal dies immediately; and killing an animal without lawful excuse. Sopuck explained, “This ‘brutally or viciously’ test is completely novel and does not appear to have been previously used in any Canadian statute or interpreted in any Canadian court. This provision does not appear to exist in any legislation in the United Kingdom,
Australia or the United States. It would create a new and very broad offence… These two sections, depending on how they would be interpreted by the courts, could have the effect of criminalizing many recreational, agricultural, commercial and scientific activities, such as medical research and religious practices such as kosher or halal butchering.” Legal activities, such as ranching, hunting, fishing, trapping and medical research aren’t listed in the bill as being exempt from prosecution. While many have painted Bill C-246 as a rural versus urban issue, that’s not the case, explains Sopuck, “If enacted, Bill C-246 could affect all Canadians… Canadians must realize that most significant medical breakthroughs result from animal-based medical research. Approximately 60 per cent of all cardiovascular research is conducted on animals… I, and hundreds of thousands of Canadians, are alive today because of cardiovascular advancements, which were developed using animal experimentation. If we were to stop performing medical research on animals, we are basically saying that we should stop making life-saving medical breakthroughs. This is not acceptable to me or anyone else.” Sopuck expressed sincere gratitude to the animals whose sacrifice allowed these advancements to occur. Sopuck cautioned those considering the bill that it went beyond protecting animals from cruelty. “I do not approve of wilful cruelty to animals,” he said, adding, “however, words are very important, and I fear the language in Bill C-246 will not, in fact, crack down on those who wilfully harm animals, but instead will put legitimate and necessary animal use practices in legal jeopardy.” While the bill did generate some support from MPs who wanted to see it further debated at the committee stage, it also faced some tough opposition, including from the government. One such comment came from Liberal MP Bill Blair, who is Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. Blair said that while he supported many aspects of the bill, he voiced concern over the proposed amendments to the Criminal Code intended to modernize the animal cruelty provisions.
Blair too was concerned by the lack of exemptions for specific lawful activities. “The bill may inadvertently create a conflict of law, making existing legally regulated activities illegal by the very nature of their existence,” Blair explained. He was also concerned about the possibility that constitutional issues might render heritage and indigenous activities, such as hunting, fishing, trapping and ranching, illegal “because they may be deemed to be brutal or vicious, or they may have an inherent reckless level of activity as part of their very nature.” While supportive of the stated intent of the bill, Blair said, “I believe that any reform to the animal cruelty offences in the Criminal Code deserves the benefit of broad public consultation and further study.” Once the second hour of debate takes place in the fall, the bill will be voted upon. While it looks as though the Liberal caucus and the Conservatives won’t be supporting the bill, should it pass, it will proceed to committee, where it will be subject to further debate. Following the May 9 debate, Sopuck explained his opposition, saying that the bill didn’t target specific actions and used vague wording. If it were to become law, the bill would have a profound effect on his largely rural riding. “I was very pleased that I was given the lead in [the Conservative] caucus on this bill, I try to do what I can for the constituents,” he said. Sopuck was encouraged by the debate, saying that it looks likely that the government won’t support the bill and that there appeared to be enough Liberals who also found it distasteful. He added that he sees it as a “one shot deal”, unlikely to be brought back should the bill be defeated by vote in the fall. While the bill seems to be off the table for now, Sopuck cautioned, “We have to make sure it’s well and done and ensure that the government doesn’t change its mind.”

Students learn about entrepreneurship Banner Staff The Neepawa Banner Students are often taught that success means “getting a good job” after graduation. Many are not aware that launching a business is a viable career option that can bring them amazing opportunities. However, starting a business is not a career option that most children are encouraged to consider. In Junior Achievement’s Our Business World program, elementary students explore how businesses are created and what makes them thrive. Using games and multimedia, students learn about innovation, start-ups and self-employment. Volunteers from local businesses provide students with a first-hand look at how business supports the community. During this interactive, in-class program, students will: • Learn why businesses are created and how they change • Explore where customers come from and how to keep them • Discuss how business contributes to the wellbeing of a community • Recognize that businesses can impact the environment in both positive and negative ways • Learn about the history of some Canadian busi-

Town looking for local photos By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner The Neepawa municipal website is undergoing a major overhaul and the renovators need the community’s help. At the May 3 council meeting, the Neepawa town council announced its plans to create an updated version of the site with the help of a website development company from Saskatchewan called Instightrix. Neepawa’s economic development officer, Marilyn Crewe, said that they have had a lot of complaints about the old website from local residents. “We’ve heard throughout the community that our website needs to be updated. It loads really slowly, it’s not mobile device friendly and so we’re going to do an entire revamp,” Crewe explained. “It’s going to have an entire new look,
plus we’re going through and doing an audit of all our current content to make sure that it’s all still relevant and necessary so that we can make a website that is exactly what the people of Neepawa need it to be.” The Town also wanted to get community members involved in the process and is giving everyone a chance to make their mark on the new site. They are asking that people send in pictures to use on the website. “We know that we have talented photographers in the community... So we’re looking for recent [photos] – so we’re saying anything within the last two years – and all seasons, showcasing all the highlights of Neepawa,” Crewe explained. “Location focused, people focused, event focused, so that we have an assortment of photos to use.” They considered hiring
a photographer to go and take some pictures all in one day, but Crewe said, “It would be great to get all the different perspectives.” Photos must be a high resolution and photographers must be willing to give up ownership of the pictures to become property of the Town of Neepawa. “We would certainly give credit to the photographer,” Crewe added, saying that there will be a place on the website listing the photographers of the pictures they use. Anyone interested in
submitting photos for use on the website can call Crewe at the town office, 204-476-7607. She will give them more details and answer any questions they have about it. The exact plans are not finalized yet, as the Town has just started working with the development company. The new website is scheduled to be up and running by the end of the year. Until then, the old website can still be found at neepawa.ca. Once the new site is finished, it will take over that address.

and Dakota people, learning their cultures and some of their language. He said, “This is a 18 foot First Nation structure called a ‘council teepee’. The material is 10 ounce canvas and not treated. I prefer to use untreated to make it more authentic. I obtained the spruce poles from Norway House by bartering a 20 foot teepee. Nylon is used for the loops and fishing rope for securing the poles.”
On Wednesday, May 11, a group of Parks Canada staff received training in the raising of a teepee. Instruction took place near the Administration Building in RMNP and was conducted by Art Gordon. Gordon, originally from Swan Lake, MB, now resides in Minnedosa and has been building teepees for many years. An Ojibway, he has worked with Cree
Gordon predicted the structure should last 15 years provided it is well looked after – kept in dry storage and away from rodents. After successfully raising the teepee ,Gordon performed a special blessing followed by home made soup and bannock. Parks Canada has purchased the material to provide an added seasonal attraction to visitors.

NEEPAWA BANNER 13
Neepawa Tigers cruise to victory By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner
The Neepawa Tigers baseball team rallied back in a big way on Tuesday, May 17, to earn a massive 13-3 win over Carberry. After giving up three runs to the Cougars in the top of the first inning, the Tigers settled down on the defensive end and shut out the opposition the rest of the way. Coach Mike Krutkewich said he was impressed with how his team didn’t get discouraged by Carberry’s quick start at the plate. “We started out a bit rough, giving up a few runs. We made a few adjustments however, and then got things going. We took advantage of our chances and had some patience at the plate. From there, we were able to make some runs happen,” said Krutkewich. In the bottom of the first, Neepawa bounced back with four runs of its own. They followed that up with two more runs in the second inning, four in the third and three more in the fifth inning,
before the game would be called on the mercy rule. With just one game left in the Zone Seven regular season, Krutkewich said they’ve developed a consistency at the plate at just the right time. The final regular season game for the Tigers was on Thursday, May 19, against the MacGregor Mustangs. That showdown was played after the Banner’s publication deadline had passed. But before Thursday’s contest, Krutkewich said that it’s very important for Neepawa to finish strong. “Depending on what happens in the final game of the regular season, we could be hosting a playoff game [in Neepawa] on Tuesday, May 24 or we could be forced to hit the road. Perhaps to MacGregor, that’s still up in the air, it depends on how everything plays out,” said Krutkewich. “The important thing is that we still control our own destiny. That’s all any team can ask for at this stage of the season. We just need to focus on what we can do for ourselves and just play the game. If we win, we play here on Tuesday.”

During his time there he was bitten by the flying bug, and in his free time obtained his Commercial Pilots licence through Drydenaire Flying Services. In 1966 he began his bush flying career at Green Airways in Red Lake, Ontario, moving to Ontario Central Airlines in 1969. Flying was what Bob loved and the Norseman was his all time favorite. He was especially proud of being chosen to taxi restored Norseman DRD to its final resting place on a pedestal in Howey Bay. Eventually in order to spend more time with his growing family, Bob switched to the maintenance field. He worked in this capacity for Red Lake Seaplane Service for many years, before joining Campbell Mine. His retirement job was an aircraft fueller for Larry McCann Esso. Bob had many interests, one of which was painting. Once retired he took many art classes, and produced some beautiful art work, his favorite subject was aircraft. He generously shared his art with family and friends. As well Bob loved the violin and fiddle music, so he decided to take lessons. He achieved his goal of being able to play a tune, but admitted it was a tough instrument to play. Bob was an avid fisherman and hunter, enjoyed boating, camping, golf, curling and during his younger years played fastball. Since returning to Neepawa and the farm, he looked forward to putting in a huge garden, and sharing his crop with family and friends. He is survived by his wife of 48 years Cheryl (Duncalfe), son Ken (Jenn), grandchildren Aaron and Abbey, son Dave (Becky), grandchildren Bradley and Megan;his mother Elizabeth; brother Ralph; sisters-in-law Mae, Dale and Maureen; niece Aileen, nephews John and Joel; aunts, uncle and many cousins. His father Paul pre-deceased him in November 1999. A funeral mass was held May 11, 2016 at St. Dominic's Roman Catholic Church in Neepawa, Manitoba, with Father Mark Filips officiating. Interment will take place at a later date. Should friends so desire donations in Bob's memory may be made to Neepawa Palliative Care or St. Dominic's Raise the Roof Building Project.

He moved to Neepawa after attending grade one in Eden. He finished his schooling in Neepawa and graduated in 1956. Argyle joined the Bank of Montreal right out of high school, he was later transferred to Tisdale and then to Schreiber, ON, where he met and married Shireen, the love of his life. He worked for the Bank for 14 years in different places, he quit banking and went to work at the pulp mill in Prince Albert SK. And then moved to Neepawa nine years ago. His greatest enjoyment was his family and his hobby farm, helping others and his involvement with the church. Argyle was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Ada Freed, and his brother John. Besides his wife Shireen, Argyle is survived by his two sons Darrell (Celine) and Michael (Tracey), two daughters Phyrne (Mike) and Jaylene (Robert), 15 grandchildren, 16 great-grand children and 3 sisters Edith Kidds, Beth Morrell, Patricia Rogers.

Jack Alexander Hart Jack passed away at the Neepawa Hospital on Feb. 16, 2016 at the age of 64 with his family by his side. He leaves behind his wife, best friend and working partner Barb of 42 years, three daughters, Jennifer (Kevin Enns), Patti (Ryan Carlson), Jacqueline (Chris Bellisle) and 12 wonderful grand children. He is also survived by four sisters, Joyce (Don Jones), Linda (John Thomas), Judy (Bert McDonald), and Lois (Bill McDonald), cousin Sherry, seven nieces and nephews, mother in law Helen Smart, sisters in law Liz (George Paton), Gloria, brother in law Ed and many special friends and families. Jack was born on July 1, 1951 in Neepawa, son to the late Alvin and Jose Hart of the Mentmore district. Jack was raised on the family farm and attended school at Brookdale. He soon realized farming was his passion. He farmed with his father, commercial cows, hogs and grain. Jack married Barbara Smart of Portage, November 3, 1973. Together they raised their three daughters. In 1980 Jack pursued his dream of starting his own herd of Purebred Black Angus Cattle growing it to what it is today. He was a 4-H member and leader for many years, member of the Neepawa Elks and served on the Manitoba Angus Board of Directors. Jack was a very modest man and a well respected person in the community and will be missed by all. Funeral service was held February 24, 2016 at the Brookdale Community Centre with Rev. Barb Jardine and Rev. Kristin Woodburke officiating. Interment followed at the Brookdale Cemetery. We would like to thank Dr. Kelly and the staff of the Neepawa Hospital, the Chemo Unit and White's Funeral Home for your care and compassion. Thank you to the Brookdale United Church for the lovely lunch. My family and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our neighbors, friends and family for their support, phone calls, visits, cards, flowers and food which we received before and after Jack's passing.
