Fundraiser for St. Dominic’s a hit!
PHOTO BY EOIN DEVEREUX
St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Neepawa organized the fundraising event with the Neepawa Filipino community to assist with the church’s Raise the Roof project. Work started this week on the roof, with contractors setting up security fences and scaffolding. Pictures from the cultural event are on page 19. By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner Last Saturday, the community got a chance to take in a sample of the Filipino culture. St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Neepawa organized the fundraising event showcasing the background of many of the area’s newcomers. The money raised goes to fund the church’s Raising the Roof fund, to help pay for a new roof for the building. As of Aug. 31, the exact amount raised is still unknown. About 570 people came out to experience the sights, sounds and flavours of the Philippines. The Filipino Cultural Festival featured two presentations during the evening, free samples of pancit (a noodle
dish) and spring rolls and displays that featured information about the Philippines’ geography and history. The two presentations were about an hour long each and included some of the different regions’ traditional dances, some of the history of the country and more. “As far as showcasing the Filipino culture, I felt it was a great success,” noted Kathleen Guillas, who was involved in organizing the event. She added that there was a lot of positive feedback from both the attendees and the Filipinos who were involved in the festival. The participants were glad to share their culture with the community, as well as get their kids involved in their background to learn the history about where they came from. The performers who were a part of the presentations
had been practicing for about a month, perfecting their dances, songs and the narration. The variety of dances created quite the spectacle, with bamboo poles, fans and colourful costumes. Guillas added that the turnout was exactly what they’d hoped for, but they were hoping to make a bit more money through food and beverage sales. They are hoping to make this an annual event, but Guillas noted that they might change it up a bit. She said they’re not sure what exactly they’ll do next time, but they do want to have something. “As far as bringing the community together and sharing the culture, it was great,” Guillas reiterated. She said it did exactly what they had hoped in that regard and everyone – spectators, organizers and presenters alike – was very pleased with how it went.

Museum in Arden holds ‘soft opening’ On Wednesday, Aug. 24, the Lansdowne Heritage R e s o u r c e & To u r i s m Committee (LHRTC) held their first open house at the new museum in Arden. The event was meant to get locals in to see what artifacts the museum has so far and hopefully inspire some of the attendees to donate historical items they might have. Right: Some old children’s winter clothing and a sled are part of the pioneer section.
Above: Many of the LHRTC members were at the open house, including Rod Shuttleworth (far right), who was explaining to some of the attendees how the “Velocipede” used to ride on the railroad tracks. Left: Part of the school section of the museum was a bookshelf full of old school books and classic novels like Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. For anyone who missed the first open house, the museum will also be open Sunday, Sept. 11 from 2 to 4 pm and Wednesday, Sept. 21 from 5 to 7 pm.

Travel & Entertainment A wild summer Strawberry at the library comes to a close social a success SEPTEMBER 2, 2016
NEEPAWA BANNER 3
Submitted The Neepawa Banner We’ve had a wild summer at Neepawa Library. Congratulations to all the participants in the TD Summer Reading Club this year - from the enthusiastic pre-readers to the middle grade readers and teens who enjoyed all the books and activities we had to offer this summer. Our theme this year was “wild” and we had lots of wild fun traveling around the world learning about wild places and wild things, thanks to Vicky Elgert who led the activities again this year. As an added bonus, we were excited to present the Ryan Price Magic Show in August, which was also themed wild! Thank you to the Youth Advisory Council and Beautiful Plains Community Foundation which provided financial support to bring this magic show to Neepawa. We look forward to planning next year’s program, which will celebrate Canada; watch for information next spring about program registration. Now it’s time to start planning for our September activities at the library. Storytime will be starting once again on Friday, September 9 at 11 am for preschool age children and their caregivers. Neepawa Rotary members are ready to start reading fun stories and telling tales; our I Spy table is all ready for spying and crafts are being prepared. Registration is not required.

Another idea for a change of reading pace is to browse our magazine selection.

oday, from the phone in my pocket, I can do lots of things. I can pay bills, order food or watch videos. I can track my own health through any number of health apps, but what I can’t do is use it to access my actual health data. In such a data-driven world, this seems entirely out of place. But maybe not for long. Last week, federal Health minister Jane Philpott, who was a family doctor in Stouffville, ON before entering politics, spoke to the Canadian Medical AssoMY ciation at their annual meeting PERSPECTIVE in Vancouver. With negotiations between the federal and ate provincial govackman tkinson ernments over the new Health Accord ongoing, Philpott’s words were heard with great interest. When it comes to health spending, governments are always facing a great chasm separating what we want them to spend and what money is available. The health of ourselves and our families is a deeply personal and highly emotional topic. Talking restraint is easy, until it’s your grandparent in the hospital bed. Philpott didn’t promise more money for the provinces, nor did she offer strong support for some of the CMA’s most pressing issues, such as funding top-ups for provinces with older populations or a national pharmacare plan. Based on Philpott’s remarks, the federal government is viewing the current Health Accord negotiations as a time to set a new course to improve Canada’s health care outcomes. She said the negotiations are a chance to “trigger” the innovation needed to reform the system. With ballooning federal health care costs, Philpott is pushing for a change in the way care is delivered, with a stronger focus on co-ordination of care. She noted that co-ordination is a major factor explaining why both Britain and Australia spend less per capita and as a percentage of GDP, yet obtain better outcomes. This makes a lot of sense. Anyone who has had interactions with multiple doctors knows that generally, we operate in a fractured state. It seems there’s room for solutions that revolve around better managing the interactions between patients and all of their health care providers– collaboration between family doctors and specialists and the increased use of digital technology to keep records that can be shared among health care providers and are accessible by patients. With this in mind, we know one thing, one of the big areas of federal focus will be modernizing this type of infrastructure. After years of spending on exciting new equipment, patients’ health information has been left in the dark ages. While some clinics and hospitals have been working towards the digitization of records, fax machines are still common in doctors’ offices across the county. While many Americans can get their test results via a phone app, few Canadians can access any of their health information online. A new system in Nova Scotia, announced in July, has made a step forward; it will allow patients to access their test results by phone. By making health information readily available to Canadians, Philpott said patients will be better able to actively manage their health. It’s clear that there are problems, but it’s also clear that throwing money at the problem won’t solve it. We need only look at rapidly rising health care budgets, both provincially and federally, to see we have already tried this. Health care funding is a tricky subject. We could double our health care spending and still not improve the outcomes for all Canadians. As with any endeavour, we need to ensure we are using our resources as efficiently as possible and there’s room for improvement. Why do patients have records in multiple places? Are tests performed multiple times because previous tests results aren’t easily accessible? Are patients even getting their test results? Can we better coordinate our resources, both human and capital, so that they are used to their full potential? We all want to see more doctors, more nurses, more aides and more techs, but we should also make sure the foundation upon which our health care rests, our own health information, is as solid as possible.

Opinion A warning from ancient history SEPTEMBER 2, 2016
I
n last week’s column, I shared some thoughts on the growing gap between those who govern and those who are governed. This week, I want to explore this concept a little further and offer a warning from ancient history which, in my view, could help us address and solve this problem. In his final sermon to the people of ancient Israel, Moses left detailed instructions that were to be followed when the people decided to “separate church and state;” and to have a king who would look after secular matters and priests who would look after spiritual matters in the land. Moses was wise enough to see that this separation of powers was inevitable. But he also saw the inherent dangers in such a move. For that reason, he set out specific guidelines to help the people choose their kings. They were to set over them “the king that God would choose.” (Deuteronomy 17:14-20) No king was to designate his successor unless he received clear indication
FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein from God to do so—which King David received when he designated Solomon as his heir. Four things were required of every king who came to power. Three things were prohibited—the king was not to acquire many horses, many wives or huge amounts of silver and gold. Moses knew if these rules were broken, the costs of governing the kingdom and supporting the army, the civil service and the king’s family would escalate to the point that they would be impossible to control (sort of like today), which is what happened. One thing was required of the king—he was to spend time each day reading and meditating on the laws of God, using his personal copy of those laws. Moses knew that if this rule was broken, the king would
soon exalt himself above the other members of the community and think that he could do whatever he wanted—raise taxes, force his people into slavery, worship whatever god he chose to worship and make new laws that suited his fancies and legalized his questionable actions or intentions. That also happened—many, many times. Beginning with Solomon and continuing until the Babylonian conquest of ancient Israel, almost every king violated these rules. The historical books of the Old Testament document the results. Despite numerous rebellions, revolts and regime changes, very little changed. Kings were just as selfish and self-centered as their predecessors had been and the people were just as poor, misused and abused as they had always been. Any good kings that
came along (and there were a few) could not undo the damage done by their predecessors. Now I will be the first to argue that we cannot apply Moses’ rules for ancient Israel to today’s Canada. But there is one lesson we can learn from the history of ancient Israel. When power and control is centralized in the hands of a few, the general population always suffers. Centralized governments with their multiple levels of bureaucracy have consistently proven to be one of the most ineffective and inefficient ways to run a country. There is only one way to cover the cost of government services and that is by taxing the profits, properties and purchases of people. The more we demand, the more we will have to pay—but we will never receive what we consider to be full value for the money we have paid. Nothing will change until we, the people, start demanding less, doing more and asking for help only when we cannot help ourselves. More on that next week.
Simple little pleasures... “A
fter all,” Ann had said to Marilla once, “I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.” Ann of Avonlea, by L.M. Montgomery I enjoyed a couple of those perfect days this week. Nothing earth shattering, not on holiday, just puttering around my home, shop and yard. If I ever complete the myriad of little projects I am currently working on, the shop will be tidy, the front entrance will be well lighted and the back door will be replaced. I have many dreams I am working on. So this week, I stained an arbour white;

Observation
By Addy Oberlin here are several thoughts occupying my mind.

staining and finishing. This slow and gentle movement on a series of projects is soul satisfying for me. Amid the clutter is another project, the parlour table still has not been reduced to a coffee table. But I am not impatient. I know how I work, think for a long time and start slow, but get it done. There are tools I want to sort, but the ones I want to work with are spares and I can find all the ones I need, so that job is progressing very slowly. No matter, it may or may not get done. Several years ago, I was determined to sort the totes of Lego
pieces and re-construct all the structures. The kitchen was littered with pans and trays of the various shapes, sizes and colours and it took a while, but I got it done – to be honest, I called in two of my young friends to help that time, but the method was sound! With help, I got a row of solar lights down the driveway, much easier to find the dogs after dark! The motion sensor solar light is still in the box, but I have read the instructions and I am almost certain where I want to place it. Curling up in the big chair reading a book, walking the dogs, phone calls and coffee stops. The scent of fresh cut wood, stained hands from honest labour, cold drinks on a hot day. Simple pleasures, simple little pleasures, like pearls slipping off a string.
their sleep. I guess I keep coming back to the same question that we all need to answer some time: are we ready when the unexpected happens to us? Have we made our life right with the Lord and also our family, friends and those around us? In 2 Corinthians 6:2, we are warned not to stall any longer because “now is the acceptable time, behold now is the day of salvation.” It might not be an earthquake, a flood or a tornado. However, we have a God, our Creator, who is in charge of our life and gives us each day as He wills.

Letters Honesty for Churchill and The Pas An honest mechanic will admit it when a car can’t be fixed, even though it’s not what the owner wants to hear and it doesn’t make the cash register ring. Premier Brian Pallister is proving himself to be like that honest mechanic. It probably isn’t padding his poll numbers, but he isn’t throwing taxpayers’ money at problems the province can’t fix. The government can’t save the port in Churchill. It can’t save the paper mill in The Pas. It’s sad. But it’s the truth. “It’s a company that’s been losing money,” said Premier Pallister after Tolko announced plans to close its paper plant in The Pas. “Sadly, this is the result.” This is not, however, the only course of action open to the government. It could announce big bailouts and enjoy the local fanfare of news releases and press conferences. But those millions would ultimately fail to fundamentally change the situation. Consider the Tolko plant. It employs 332 people out of the 5,500 people in The Pas. The release that announced the closure didn’t get into details, but simply stated: “We cannot continue to sustain the losses at the operation.” A few details have trickled out since. Prices are low for the paper the plant produced. The fuels that fire the plant’s boilers are more expensive than the natural gas used in other plants, but piping natural gas into The Pas would cost $180 million. The provincial government can’t change commodity prices. Providing a natural gas hook up for the plant would cost more than half a million dollars for every Tolko job. It’s sad, but it’s reality and government can’t change it. Consider the grain port in Churchill. About 90 of the 750 people in Churchill are losing their jobs because OmniTrax is closing the port. After some weeks of confusing silence, OmniTrax made the reason for the closure clear: “There was not a single committed contract for grain this season.” The reality is that there’s never been much interest in shipping grain through the Churchill port. Churchill shipped 525,200 metric tonnes of grain during the 2014-15 fiscal year. That’s about the same amount of grain shipped through Vancouver in an average week. Now the trickle of grain that’s flowed through Churchill has dried up completely. Millions of dollars from taxpayers have already been lost in failed attempts to save the Churchill port. Subsidies to OmniTrax, for just last year, totalled nearly $6 million. That’s about $65,000 per job. There have been calls for new subsidies and even nationalization of the port. But none of this would fundamentally change the situation. Grain exporters are picking other ports. The provincial government can’t change that. Sometimes, a neighbour can provide a much-needed objective point of view. Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart has publicly raised concerns about grain transportation capacity. But he’s made it clear the Saskatchewan government won’t be putting any money into a port that handles less than two per cent of Canada’s grain exports. There is another hard reality at play. The Manitoba government is running a deficit of $911 million. The province will pay $874 million just to cover the interest on provincial debt – that’s more than $680 per Manitoban. Government money won’t fix the problems facing Tolko or OmniTrax, but even if it could, Manitoba simply doesn’t have money to give. It’s always tempting for a government to do something even when nothing can be done. A significant portion of the province’s debt is no doubt due to politicians that have succumbed to that temptation. It is a costly delusion. Taxpayers’ money can’t fundamentally change the situation for Tolko or OmniTrax. It’s a sad, but obvious reality. Premier Pallister is doing the right thing by telling people in Churchill and The Pas the truth. Todd MacKay Pairie Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Zucchini relish I found a “lost” zucchini and it was rather large, so I decided to try this relish recipe. This unusual relish has the spicy flavor of India. Use with meats, on sandwiches or rice dishes. If you use the food processor, you can mince the veggies rather than grate so they will be crunchier. Zippy zucchini relish
One of Manitoba’s largest golf tournaments took place at Clear Lake Golf Course from Aug. 19 to 27. Steven Young of La Salle and Kaitlin Troop of Brandon captured the championship men’s and ladies’ flights respectively.
6 cups minced or grated zucchini 4 cups minced cabbage 3 cups minced carrots 2 cups minced onion 1 cup minced green or red pepper 1/4 cup pickling salt
Put veggies through a food processor to mince/dice them. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, cabbage, carrots, onions and pepper. Sprinkle salt over and mix well. Let stand for 3 to 4 hours. Drain vegetables, discarding liquid. In a large pot, add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and on medium heat, bring back to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Ladle hot relish into prepared, sterilized hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Seal jars. Leave as is or process in hot water bath for 15 minutes per pint.

Family drop-in centre to open soon By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner At the end of September, families in the community of Neepawa will have a place to find resources and ask questions. Several local agencies and organizations have banded together to start up a pilot project of a family resource drop-in centre. Don Walmsley, coordinator at Neepawa and Area Immigrant Settlement Services (NAISS), explained that this was an idea that has been mentioned to him a few times in the past. His lead English as an Additional Language teacher brought it up about a year ago and then more recently, Child and Family Services (CFS) approached him and asked if it was something that the community could use. He agreed that it could be, so the process began. “The next step was we called a meeting of a number of different agencies that dealt with children or families. That included the ministerial, Mayor de Groot came from the Town, [Budz n’ Bloom] daycare, [Neepawa] Nursery School, Salvation Army, Beautiful Plains School Division [and the Regional Health Authority]. So we had a number of different organizations that have direct contact or are working with families or kids in some form or another,” explained Walmsley. The agencies agreed that this idea was something that could benefit the community, so they formed a steering committee for the project and discussed what they could do to make it happen. They have decided to run it every other Wednesday, from 9 am to 1

pm for a year. “Essentially, it’s just for families to be able to come in, sit, meet, chat... to talk, to ask questions, because we will have people there,” Walmsley said. “It’s like an information resource, basically.” He added that it’s not only going to be for family resources, but people can also go there to ask where they can access certain services in town. People dropping in can also use it as an outlet to make suggestions on different family services they think would benefit the community. “We see it as an information providing opportunity, as well as an information receiving,” Walmsley explained. In order to offer information about local resources and services, the steering committee is encouraging agencies and organizations in town to provide them with information about the services they provide, such as brochures or pamphlets, to refer to and give to people visiting the drop-in centre. The first day that the drop-in centre will be open is on Wednesday, Sept. 28 and it will continue every other Wednesday from then. The location is the back room of the Neepawa Public Library, 280 Davidson Street. The agencies will come together to analyze how the project has been going after six months, then again at the end of the year to decide where to go from there. They will be keeping track of the traffic going through the centre as well as what kinds of questions those people ask. “This is a pilot project... and we’re putting it in place to see if 1) there is a need for this, 2) what more do we need to do in terms of meeting
the needs of the people that come through?” said Walmsley. He added that everyone on the committee is excited to see how this will work out. They’re not sure exactly where this idea will go after the first year, but what they do know is that they will need a permanent location and they are hoping community members will take over the operation. “Ultimately what we’d like to see is this taken over by a community group of volunteers,” Walmsley noted. He said that the agencies involved have the capability to get this project started, but they would like it to end up being run “by people, for people,” as he put it. The agencies will still be willing to help the volunteer group get started, answer any questions a new committee may have about the operation of the centre and provide resources to whoever takes it over. As of right now, handing it off to community members is in the long term plan. Short term, they are looking for volunteers to be at the centre on the Wednesdays, as well as donations of basic supplies (i.e. crayons, paper, coffee, baked goods, tubs to store their supplies, etc.) and informational resources. “If people are interested in volunteering, we’d love to hear,” Walmsley stressed. “If you are interested you can contact myself [Don Walmsley at NAISS, 204-476-2055], Amanda Naughton-Gale at Salvation Army [204-476-5869], or you can contact Rhonda Dickenson at the Beautiful Plains School Division [204-476-2387].” Anyone who has supplies or resources to give to the centre can also contact those people.

An unbelievable educational weekend Submitted Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup Forty-nine enthusiastic Manitoba and Saskatchewan Junior Cattle Producers attended the ninth annual Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup, July 29 to 31,in Neepawa. Excitement in the cattle industry brought out a top notch group of interested cattle producers and 91 head of cattle. Where else can you attend an event with 49 junior members all working together as teams and individual competitors, to learn the skills needed in the livestock industry? This is not just a cattle show, it is an all around event to promote and educate youth to continue on in the livestock industry. Our show would not happen without our dedicated sponsors who have stood behind this junior all breeds show and helped to make it a success. The weekend started off with a clipping and grooming workshop put on by the Roundup weekend mentors: Laura Horner and Jake Rawluk. Juniors learned the importance of proper hair care and blowing procedures. After supper was the Ag Challenge sponsored by gold sponsor, Mazer Group, a timed competition with some hands on knowledge of the livestock industry. The juniors enjoyed the challenges and tasks they were given, like halter making, parts of the animal, identifying ag items and more. The winning team was Samantha Rimke, Wyatt Inglis, Lainie Muir, Bree Russell, Gerrin Vandersluis and Ryley Kohut. On Saturday, workshops were given by Melissa McRae on photography and videoing; showmanship by Jennilee Bernier-Stewart; artifical insemination by Justin Kristjansson and farm safety with Farmers with Disabilities.

Single Bridge Ranch, a father-son partnership between David and Brad Single, were using their 2006 John Deere 9760 combine to harvest a crop of spring wheat at Waldersee. With the help of family, neighbours and friends, they were also using a circa 1943 John Deere threshing machine. The threshing machine is currently owned by cousin Ron Mitchler, but it’s been in the family for a long time– it was owned by Brad’s great-grandfather. 16091JM0

The Neepawa Golf and Country Club (NGCC) is pleased to see that its Rosebowl Tournament has become, for many golfers across the region, an annual tradition. The prestigious competition has been a staple of the local golf calendar for over five decades and is set to begin on Saturday, Sept. 3. Mark Kerkowich from the Clear Lake Golf Course heads into the weekend as the defending champion, having won the 2014 and 2015 edition of the event. Neepawa Golf and Country Club general manager and CPGA golf pro Landon Cameron said the men’s match play event is, to a degree, modelled after the Tamarack Golf Tournament. He added however, that it’s a little bit different because there are lots of other things going on around the tourney that make it more than just about a round of golf. “I think it’s known across the region as a fun weekend of golf. That’s why guys gets excited about it. We’ve done some things in the last few years [such as] adding stuff in the evenings after the golf to enhance the day. We have the horse race on Saturday night and we have Whitemud Rhythm and Blues band that plays at the clubhouse. They’re fantastic. They were here last year and the place was packed,” noted Cameron. “Then on Sunday night, we have a skills competition and then the steak supper. And of course, the golf wraps up on the Monday.” This year’s Rosebowl Tournament is expected to see similar registration numbers as compared to 2015, with between 100 and 120 players involved. Cameron noted that while the same core group of about 75-80 players are out every year, they are seeing many of the younger golfers from Neepawa and surrounding region getting more involved as well. He said that it’ll
be the 19-to-25 year old players who will be the ones who keep this tournament going and healthy well into the future. “We’re getting the next generation of golfers more involved and they’re excited about [the Rosebowl], which is awesome, Cameron stated. “A lot of people whose parents played in the Rosebowl for a long time are now getting involved. It’s becoming a family thing. It is a great weekend and it’s the most fun event we have on the schedule, because we make it inclusive.” The Rosebowl Tournament begins Saturday, Sept. 3 at

Everyone can benefit from CanSkate program Submitted The Neepawa Banner
What do well-respected hockey player Matt Duchene, world class speedskater Ivanie Blondin and champion ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir all have in common? Well, for one, they all have been to the Olympics in their respected sports. Duchene won a gold medal at the 2014 Olympics with the Canadian Men’s hockey team. Blondin represented Canada in long track speed skating in 2014 Olympics. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are the 2010 Olympic champions and the 2014 Olympic silver medalists in figure skating. They are all fantastic skaters in their respected sports, but did you also know that they are all CanSkate graduates? Each one of them got their start in a CanSkate program in their community and you can too, right here in Neepawa. The CanSkate program is Canada’s best and longest running Learn-to-Skate program. It introduces a healthy, lifelong sport to kids at any age, whether you want to start at three or 12 years old, or whether you just want to improve your hockey or figure skating skills. The curriculum for this program is based on Sport Canada’s long term athlete development (LTAD) principles and was designed with all ice sports in mind. Contrary to popular belief, CanSkate doesn’t teach figure skating skills. CanSkate teaches the foundation skills that all types of skaters need to be successful in their sport. Whether you want to be a hockey player, a ringette star, a speed skater or a figure skater, the CanSkate program teaches the basic skills one needs to learn in order to be successful in these sports. You learn to balance on your skates by falling down and getting up, doing slalom around pylons or learning proper forward and backward crosscuts. You learn how to be in control on your skates by skating backward, gliding on one or two feet and how to stop a variety of different ways. You also learn how to be agile on your feet! Whether you are doing a quick turn, a step turn, turning forward or backward or glide turns, any type of turn is vital in ice sports, particularly hockey! In this ribbon and badge program, there are a six levels, all with different skills to master in the three categories of balance, control and agility. Skaters can move throughout these different levels all at their own pace on circuits full of teaching aids, upbeat music and a wide variety of activities that are designed to accommodate multiple different levels at once.

Obituary JOHN CAMPBELL (JACK) HUXLEY
John Campbell (Jack) Huxley of Neepawa, MB. passed away peacefully on August 15, 2016 at Neepawa Hospital, Neepawa, MB at the age of 88 years. Jack was born in Welwyn, SK. on Nov. 7, 1927 and lived his early years on the family farm at Riverhurst, SK. and in Welwyn, SK., until the family moved to Carberry, MB. in 1939. It was here that Jack received most of his education and enjoyed hockey and baseball in his youth. In 1943, he spent the summer working on the Alaska Highway with his father. He played Jr. B hockey in Boissevain and after his schooling, Jack became an apprentice printer with his brother in law at the Carberry News Express. He met his future wife, Marie (Hammond) in 1951 while she was teaching at Carberry. They married at Dand, MB on July 29, 1952 and enjoyed 64 years of marriage. In 1953, Jack and Marie moved to Neepawa, MB., where Jack managed the Neepawa Press newspaper. In 1954, the couple built a home at 562 Second Avenue, where they raised their family of 3 daughters and welcomed friends, until moving to Elks Manor in 2013, a place they were both happy to call their new home. During Jack’s newspaper career in Neepawa, he became co-owner with John Oslund in 1968, and The Neepawa Press grew in integrity and purpose, having the respect of the community and of the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association. The partnership with John continued for 20 years until John and Jack sold the paper in 1988 and Jack retired. Through his working years and beyond, Jack always set aside time for family and community. The family enjoyed camping trips across Canada, country drives spotting wildlife, searching for projectile points and many day trips to Big Valley. In his earlier years Jack enjoyed fishing, hunting and attending his daughters’ events. The Neepawa Rotary Club was a big part of Jack’s life and in 2015 he was honored for 50 years of service. Through the years, Jack was also involved with the Neepawa Game and Fish Association, Neepawa Wildlife Association, founding member of Neepawa Elks, Chamber of Commerce, School Board Trustee, Neepawa United Church Board and in later years, on the Neepawa HAND (Home Assistance Neepawa District) committee and a strong supporter of the Terry Fox Walk. In his retirement years Jack could also be found at the Golf Course, Library, and the Seniors Drop In Centre, where he welcomed newcomers and enjoyed a good game of snooker and cards. Jack also loved reading and watching baseball and hockey games. Jack played an important role in his grandchildrens’ lives and most recently was delighted with the arrival of a great granddaughter. Jack was humble, honest, wise and real. He had a sense of humor, a genuine interest in others and was appreciative for everyone and everything in his life. He was kind and gentle, and a much loved husband, father, grandpa and friend. Jack was predeceased by his parents, Thomas Lynden (Barney) and Margaret Huxley, sister Mayme Lupton, niece Patricia Lupton, and nephew Jack Lupton. Surviving are his wife, Marie Huxley, daughters, Susan Huxley (Rob Buchanan) of Swan River, Joanne Nelson (Wayne) of Neepawa, and Lois Edmundson (Bob) of Brandon, and 6 grandchildren, Shawn Buchanan, Lindsay Buchanan, Kristin Tibbett (Cam), Karla Hackewich (Brad), Jesse Edmundson and Joel Edmundson; also great grand-daughter, Hannah Huxley Tibbett. A Celebration of Jack’s Life was held August 18, 2016 at Neepawa United Church, with Rev. Kristin Woodburke officiating. A private family interment was held at Riverside Cemetery, Neepawa, MB. White’s Funeral Home of Neepawa was in care of arrangements. “Happiness…a loving family and good friends”

Above left: A pair of peacocks perched on an aviary at the Rotary Park Bird Sanctuary.
Above right: Jake Birch (in front) explains the day-to-day requirements for looking after the birds at the sanctuary to some potential volunteers. The Rotary Park Bird Sanctuary in Neepawa was close to ceasing operations, after it was announced that Birch and fellow volunteer George Burnett were stepping down from their caretaking duties. Since the announcement, as many as 20 people have inquired about assisting to keep the sanctuary open to the public.
