Congregation celebrating 140 years By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner In 1877, the first Presbyterian missionaries arrived in the Neepawa area. This year, the congregation tracing its history to those early settlers is preparing to celebrate 140 years of ministry in the Neepawa area. In those early days, worship took place in parishioners’ homes, then, the upper story of the Neepawa Post Office. The first Presbyterian church in Neepawa was built in 1882, at the corner of Brown Ave. and Isabel St. In 1891, the present church, located on First Ave., was built. The first services in this new church were held on March 15, 1892. The church, a Neepawa landmark and recognized historic site, was designed by Portage la Prairie architect James A. Macdonald. Macdonald was a Presbyterian who had experience as a construction supervisor with the U.S. Army and as a building supervisor for the Minneapolis public

school board. He designed the church in the form of a cross, with the sanctuary set on the diagonal. The cost of the building, excluding furnishings, was $10,000. The original pews, which are still in use today, cost $1,200 and were purchased from Hamilton, Ont. When the new church opened, there were 197 members on the roll and in 2000, when the church’s history was compiled for a history book, some of their descendents still worshiped at Knox. Over the years, the church building has undergone work to improve its structural integrity. The first occurred shortly after it was built, when it was determined that the walls couldn’t carry the weight of the roof. At this time, two rods were installed across the church to stabilize and anchor the north and south exterior walls. In 1961, the church underwent another

renovation, this time, to better anchor the interior columns that support the roof. That project saw the

basement dug out and cement bearing walls and footings installed. At that time, Sunday School rooms

and washrooms were also added to the basement.

Facing challenges The congregation at Knox faced one of its first major decisions in 1925. On June 10, 1925, the Methodist Church of Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada and 70 per cent of the Presbyterian Church of Canada entered into a union, creating the United Church of Canada. The congregation at Knox voted to remain within the Presbyterian Church in Can-

ada, but today, they retain a close relationship with both the United and Presbyterian congregations. The other big change was the ordination of women into the Ministry. Prior to 1966, women could not be ordained but could have a role within the church as deaconesses or women missionaries, or within their local church administration. In Neepawa, the first woman joined Knox’s board in 1956. Continued on page 8

Bike safety critically important for all cyclists and motorists

By Miranda Leybourne The Neepawa Banner With winter a fading memory and the sun getting stronger each week, many children and families are enjoying taking to their bicycles to exercise, have fun and get from place to place within town in an enjoyable, active way. The Government of Manitoba says that every year, around 158 cyclists are hospitalized for cycling related injuries, which, in some cases, result in serious injury or death. Around 34 per cent of these incidents occur to children under the age of 18 years, with head injuries being the biggest cause of cycling-related death. Wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle is proven to reduce the risk of serious brain injury and death by more than 85 per cent. Required by law Since 2013, it has been mandated by Manitoba law that all cyclists and their passengers (children in bike seats or in bike trailers,

etc.) under 18 years of age wear a helmet. Parents are also strongly encouraged to do so to provide a good example for their children and to protect themselves. Parents with children who are caught cycling without a helmet can be issued tickets under The Highway Traffic Act. The Government of Manitoba also encourages people to ensure the helmets that they or their children are wearing are appropriate. The helmets should not be too loose and should not be worn too far back on the head. Certified helmets last three to five years, depending on use, but after being involved in a crash or accident, helmets must be replaced. Another tip the Manitoba Government has for cyclists is for parents and guardians to ride alongside cyclists that are under the age of 10. All cyclists must familiarize themselves with and obey road signs and traffic rules, use proper hand signals, refrain from cycling on sidewalks and always cycle on the right side of the

Beautiful Plains Museum open for season By Allison Trimble The Neepawa Banner

Hello, my name is Allison Trimble. I am a student at the University of Manitoba and for the duration of the summer months, I will be the new curator at the Beautiful Plains Museum. Since May, volunteers and I have focused our work toward reopening the basement. The basement area has undergone renovations, including new flooring. The basement is full of many interesting areas, including a barbershop, farm equipment, tools and a sports room. My personal favorite piece is labeled Poultry “Sunglasses” and they are small red glasses that were used by farmers to put on chickens so everything looked red, so the chickens wouldn’t peck at bleeding or damaged areas on other birds. There is a large variety of artifacts and displays, making the museum a great experience for people of all ages. On the main floor, we have worked on putting up a clothing and camera display. The clothing section consists of articles from the early 1900s. An item that stands out to me is the wedding dress from the 1930s. The dress is off-white, with long sleeves that are wide at the wrists and a train. Continued on page 17

road. In addition, wearing brightly coloured clothing is strongly suggested, as is using a white light on the front of the bike and a red or amber light reflector on the back of the bike, as well as a reflective strip around the cyclist’s ankle. Check your ABCs Before cyclists take to the streets, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) suggests they do an “ABC Quick Check” of their bicycles to ensure they are safe to ride. This includes checking A for air: that both tires are fully inflated; B for brake: that both brake levers don’t pull all the way back to the handlebars, enabling riders to slide their hands between the lever and hand grip, and to make sure that with both brakes engaged riders rock back and forth on their bikes to check for loose steering components, and that steering is tight and handlebars are aligned properly with the front wheel; C for chain: that the chain is well lubricated, clean and running smoothly, Quick: that a bike has quick releases on their wheels and seats don’t have the releases too tight or easy to open; and Check: that the bike, when picked up

10 cm off the ground and dropped, experiences no rattling or pieces falling off. If any problems are discovered while doing the “ABC Quick Check”, cyclists should take their bicycles to a bicycle mechanic or complete the repairs as soon as possible. Children who are riding bicycle should be able, according to MPI, to cycle in a straight line, balance while signalling, shoulder check and stop properly. Drivers have a responsibility It’s not just bicyclists that need to be safety-minded so that they can ride in peace -- motorists have a large responsibility to keep cyclists safe as well. MPI says drivers should reduce their speed when encountering cyclists and leave a safe following distance should the cyclist need to suddenly stop. Motorists should be cognisant of the hazards that cyclists could face and allow them plenty of space, including during times when the cyclist may need to ride closer to the middle of the lane. MPI says drivers must be aware of where cyclists are, anticipate their actions and refrain from

using their horn, which can startle cyclists. When turning left, drivers should watch for and yield to oncoming cyclists just as they would to oncoming motorists and when turning right, yield to any cyclist travelling on the right. The organization stresses that motorists be aware, especially, of child cyclists, who can be unpredictable. When passing cyclists, drivers should do so only when it is safe, with at least one metre of clearance. Extra caution and additional space is required when encountering cyclists on the highway. During some situations, passing a cyclist is not allowed, including in construction zones, in lanes with narrow widths and in a yield lane.

The Hazel M. Kellington Elementary School (HMK)’s June school newsletter also reminded children and parents about some important bike safety points. “Parental judgement is always the key in determining which streets kids are allowed to ride their bike on,” principals Allen Hanke and Scott Freeman articulate in the newsletter. “Please go over this with your children and explain to them how important it is that we all ride our bikes safely.” Hanke and Freeman also pointed out that students are not allowed to ride their bikes to school until they are in Grade 2, unless they are being accompanied by a parent both on the way to and home from school.

When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding. When the wicked meet disaster, the godly flourish.

ast week’s column on recycling drew a swift response from the industry. The letters are being published as soon as space allows. Nothing draws response faster than questioning sacred cows and recycling is, to many folks, a sacred cow. A sacred cow is one that must be worshipped, not questioned and heaven forbid that someone might suggest a better way to accomplish the stated dogma of an industry. That’s what happens when you get fads, ideology and misplaced good intentions all bundled up in politics. Of course, most people want to recycle, it is the right thing to do. The recycling industry has many households on side with that idea. Many people do use the blue containers, be they the household blue boxes or the sidewalk containers. The problem is that many don’t and many won’t use them properly. I don’t think I have ever seen a public blue bin that wasn’t stuffed with a mixture of garbage and recycling. Often, they are overflowing, they aren’t emptied often enough. Workers may as well go along with the garbage truck when it comes to public blue bins because, due to contamination, the garbage heap is where it is headed anyway. The recycling industry touts the oft-repeated phrase, “It’s a matter of education”. That is true to an extent, but you can spend as much time and money as you want on education and a project like recycling will never be adopted by the number of people that it needs to succeed. Recycling, to be successful, must

money to pay them. The recycling industry claims that the levy system in Manitoba is working well. It is working well for them and to some extent for the municipalities. They all get their pay cheques regardless of the results. But the point being missed is that there is a huge amount of recycling being buried. The reason for that is much of the recycling is contaminated and must head to the landfill. A lot of recycling also never sees a blue bin. What I find amazing is that many people attached to the recycling sacred cow don’t seem interested in a “pay the gatherer” system or an energy production clean burn system. The current system has come a long way in bringing attention to the recycling industry, but a lot of that attention has been those very guilt trip, annoying ads about how many drink cans in the landfill are yours. It is

If I sound a bit frustrated or even bitter, it is because I am. The recycling industry has been laying guilt trips on people for a long time. Recycling is very important and I think that tossing trash or recyclables on the ground, or worse yet, in the waterways, is horrible. Why anyone would throw shopping carts or tires in the river is beyond my comprehension. That said, I am equally appalled by the lack of imagination, the lack of recognition of the value of seeking a profit and the lack of direction that government, and sometimes industry, applies to this problem. God bless all the earnest people in the recycling industry but please, let’s look at better ways.

anada is a vast country. While distance may limit a person’s ability to see all of it, for most Canadians, provincial borders are nothing but a big sign, some nicer pavement and maybe a rest area; there are no border guards, check points or fences. But the same doesn’t apply to businesses and their products. The average Canadian gives little thought to interprovincial trade, we just assume it’s as easy for products to cross provincial boarders as it is for people. After all, Section MY 121 of Canada’s PERSPECTIVE founding document, the 1867 Const it ut ion Act, talks about Kate interprovincial Jackman-Atkinson trade, reading, “All articles of the growth, produce or manufacture of any one of the provinces shall, from and after the union, be admitted free into each of the other provinces.” For businesses, working across borders isn’t nearly as simple as it should be. But that’s about to change. On July 1, the long awaited Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) will come into effect, making it easier for goods and services to move across provincial borders. Last July, Canadian premiers met and hammered out the agreement, which at the time, they called, “unprecedented”. CFTA is a big deal because currently, almost every province has their own regulations when it comes commerce, including transportation, packaging requirements, food safety regimes, Workers’ Compensation legislation and recognition of workers’ qualifications. In many cases, it’s easier for a European company to trade into a province than it is for a Canadian company the next province over. Last June, the Canadian Senate looked at interprovincial trade. Their official report described it as, “Mind-boggling rules, duelling bureaucracies and maddening regulations.” Strong language from Canada’s house of sober second thought. Not only are the regulations a challenge for businesses, the Senate report estimated that they cost the Canadian economy at least $1 billion a year, but probably more. Interprovincial trade flow is extremely important to Canadian businesses and in a 2015 survey conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), 87 per cent of small business owners said that premiers need to reduce trade barriers between provinces. CFIB has been collecting examples from members outlining the challenges they have faced when it comes to interprovincial trade and there are many of them. For example, if a pharmaceutical or medical product is deemed safe in one province, it must undergo nearly identical testing in each province where it’s to be sold. Additionally, differing standards for container sizes make interprovincial trade in products such as milk, creamers and beer unnecessarily difficult. One of the key needs put forward by the senate report and CFIB’s lobbying efforts was the idea of a negative list. This means that the trade agreement will cover all people, good, services and investment, unless they are specifically excluded and placed on a negative list. This is something that didn’t exist in previous agreements, which meant that unless a specific agreement was in place for something, there was no free trade. The negative list is one of the key components of CFTA, which will also open up $4.7 billion in procurement opportunities to companies across Canada and make it easier to hire workers from outside the province. There are times when provinces need different regulations, especially when it comes to safety, but these cases should be the exception rather than the rule. Canadian governments are working hard to open more international markets and preserve international agreements already in place, opening provincial doors for Canadian businesses should be of equal importance. Trade needs to be as easy as possible in order for Canadian companies to grow and what could be easier than trading with your neighbour?

Relationships are the key

hat started out as a demonstration project has sent an example for others in the area to follow and we can visit the site whenever we wish. Its official name is the Rosedale Farm Conservation Project. It began as a joint venture between the RM of Rosedale and the Manitoba government. Since 1977, the farm has been managed by the Whitemud Watershed Conservation District. The farm’s history dates back to the mid-1800’s. Settlers established their farms and towns along the east escarpment of Riding Mountain. Communities like Eden, Polonia and others soon sprang up, attracting additional settlers who were also looking for land. By the 1890’s, most of the easily farmed land in the lower plains had been claimed. But since the land to the west had an abundant supply of wood for construction and warmth and lots of fresh water, newcomers chose to make their homes on the lower slopes of Riding Mountain. They cleared the land and planted crops.

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein Tracts of land were planted one year, summer fallowed the next. While this practice effectively controlled the weeds, it left the land exposed to the threat of being eroded—and eroded it was. There was nothing to impede the run off during Spring thaw or to retain water deposited by heavy rains. The water f lowed down the hills at a torrential pace, carrying tons of topsoil with it and eventually making the land unsuitable for farming. But that was just the beginning of the problems faced by these farmers and their neighbors. Repeated heavy rains caused f lash flooding, clogging ditches and drains with shale and silt, washing out roads and destroying crops at the base of Riding Mountain. Facing challenges they could not handle alone, Rosedale councilors called on the

Manitoba government for assistance. Beginning in the late 1960’s, the Manitoba government began to purchase parcels of land that had been rendered unsuitable for farming. As each parcel was purchased, a conservation plan was put in place. Trees, hay and forage crops were planted. These fields were leased to area farmers and provided them with a source of high quality feed for their cattle. Land that was once unsuitable for anything became productive again, much to everyone’s delight. Two quarter sections, located 8 km west of Eden on PR 265 were chosen as a demonstration site. This is the Rosedale Farm and it is open to the public. It features a self-guided tour with displays that highlight the work done to reclaim this land and make it the productive site it is. It is cer-

tainly worth a visit as it will give you a new appreciation for the challenges we face when seeking to use our resources responsibly. In the opening verses of the Bible, the ancient writer reveals that nothing in heaven or on earth can exist in isolation. Everything is about relationships—between day and night, earth and water, plants and animals, humans and nature, humans and God. Failure to understand these relationships and live within the restrictions imposed by them will produce disasters like the one faced by homes and farms near Riding Mountain in the early 1960’s. The Rosedale Farm is an example of what happens when humans live and work in harmony with nature and, as a result, live and work in cooperation with the God who created it. I would urge you to visit the farm, take one of the walking tours and see this miracle for yourself. Additional information on the Rosedale Farm and other conservation projects in this area can be found at www.whitemudwatershed. ca.

Dementia is a growing problem

‘Y

ou may go now.’ I had driven an hour and a half to visit my father. Along with the Parkinson’s Disease that troubled his body, a form of dementia now changed the man I looked up to and adored. A farmer, a teacher, a lay worker in his faith family, a lover of poetry – all words really- a wise man. Walking into his room that day I knew the visit wasn’t going to be what I had hoped for. A bit of the dad present was my desire. He recognized me, allowed me to check in on how he was doing and then, in his best principal’s voice, intoned, ‘you may go now.’ Not willing to be so summarily dismissed, I deterred, explaining that I had just arrived and was hoping to spend a bit of time with him.

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen and cities are hosting fund raising walks. World Health Organization stats inform us that every three seconds someone in the world develops Alzheimer’s, one in ten individuals over the age of 65 will suffer from it, and Canada is in the top five countries with recorded accounts of this disease. “Dementia affects 50 million people worldwide – a number that will almost triple by 2050. More than half of all people with dementia live in low and middle income countries, where as few as 10 percent of individuals receive a diagnosis. In 2018, dementia will become a trillion-dollar disease.” As this disease gains recog-

Observation By Addy Oberlin

hen I looked out the window I saw something glittering in the sunshine, more than a block from where I was sitting. The wind made it turn about, but whenever the sun hit a certain spot there was this spontaneous outburst of light. I was tempted to go and see what was causing this sparkle. We can sparkle too when we have a happy day, I thought.

nition, and for me, a fearful respect, we are learning that lifestyle choices may enhance longevity, and better mental health. We are learning that exercising the brain, staying involved with the younger generations, learning new skills ( try reversing the pattern you use when brushing your teeth!), eating well, volunteering, reducing stress, all decrease the chance of dementia and Alzheimer’s, but there is no guarantee. More study is being done, and with the odds, my odds, increasing of encountering the disease, more study needs to be done. I recall my grandfather being diagnosed with hardening of the arteries. I know now it was a form of dementia, and he

was taken to Selkirk, to finish out his days there. Harsh for everyone. My father lived out his final years in a well designed and well staffed care home. Much better. The Netherlands are working with developing safe villages. A little village with shops and restaurants, the residents have been diagnosed with dementia, the staff lives in the village with them, Safe, secure, and familiar. Research Hogewey when you have time. A community in Ontario is duplicating this concept. As near to ideal as I see it getting. Dementia is a growing problem., one out of 20 Canadians over 65 has Alzheimer’s Disease, and that figure jumps to one in four for Canadians over 85. June 15 Neepawa is hosting a walk to support the Manitoba Alzheimer’s Society. If you can’t walk it, please support it. For all of us.

The next morning I did not see any reflections, but the sun was not shining either. It looked somber outside. Just like we sometimes feel when we do not have a good day. It was not until the afternoon that the sun came through and the glistering was back. It reminded me much of the children’s hymn we often sing in the care home about this little light of mine, let us shine ….. you in your small corner and I in mine. Paul tells us in Philippians 2:15 that we live in a crooked world but we need to appear as lights in this world, “holding fast the Word of Life” (verse 16). Let us shine …..

Deposit systems cost money In response to Ken Waddell’s editorial on June 1, 2017:

About 93 percent of Manitobans have easy access to a residential recycling program funded by Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba (MMSM), an industry-funded, not-for-profit organization. MMSM represents stewards — brand owners, producers, distributors and manufacturers — who pay fees to cover the costs of recycling their products and packaging. MMSM collects the fees and pays for up to 80 percent of residential recycling programs in municipalities across the province. Since it was launched in April 2010, MMSM has provided more than $70 million to Manitoba municipalities. In that same time, Manitobans have diverted 559,887,561.98 kg (559,887 tonnes) from landfill. The current recovery rate of 65.4% puts Manitoba as one of the leaders in residential recycling in the country. MMSM pays up to 80% of eligible costs incurred by municipalities to manage printed paper and packaging (PPP) through efficient and effective municipal residential diversion programs. MMSM provides technical assistance, and assistance to promote collection and processing services. Municipal recycling services payments are paid for each metric tonne of eligible PPP material recovered from the residential waste stream. Municipalities either provide the service themselves, or contract it out. All materials recovered are transported to recycling facilities where they are sorted and sold to end users. Unfortunately, the comments in this article are inaccurate and do not tell the whole story. What is being described is called a deposit system. A deposit system actually costs consumers more money and takes valuable materials out of the blue box. It makes it very difficult to collect other materials in a curbside recycling program without some sort of additional fee for service. By keeping these materials in the blue box, it provides convenience, making recycling easier. Deposit systems in other jurisdictions, cost consumers more in several ways. First, consumers will pay more through a higher environment-handling fee at the till. Yes, they will get 10 cents back but the article fails to mention there is also a 2 - 12 cent environmental fee to pay for the system. In total, a beverage container purchased in deposit system provinces would cost a consumer close to 20 cents. In Manitoba, that container recycling fee is only 2 cents and is consistent for all beverage containers. The funds are collected by the Canadian Beverage Container Recycling Association (CBCRA) and used to fund its share of the blue box costs, away from home and public space recycling programs through the Recycle Everywhere Program. Secondly, if we take these high-value materials out of the blue box, the whole system is going to cost consumers more money. Additional fees would be placed on residents to collect other items like cardboard, newspapers, plastics etc. Finally, a deposit system would cost millions of dollars to taxpayers to set up, as there is no current system in place. The most important thing is that we make recycling convenient and inexpensive for consumers. A deposit system is neither of those. MMSM believes that education is key to increasing recovery rates, getting residents to make the right choices when it comes to their blue bin. Education is needed to make sure people know what to recycle, where to recycle and how to recycle. To date, our comprehensive educational programs have encouraged participation, resulting in higher recovery rates, making consumers better recyclers. The incentive should be that individuals want to be better stewards to our environment, protecting our natural resources. You can find more information on our program and municipal recovery rates on our website, at stewardshipmanitoba.org. Karen Melnychuk Executive Director, MMSM

Farm women’s groups

Students entertain residents

This year, Canada is celebrating 150 years since Confederation (the sesquicentennial). I thought I would spend the next several months showcasing some historic recipes in Canada’s honour.

The farm wives were partners in hard work at home with their husbands and learned to be independent. They wanted to be part of the say in political life. Women gathered and led campaigns on women’s suffrage. The Manitoba Grain Growers Association, formed by farmers to market their own grain, took a position in favor of women’s suffrage in 1911. In 1912 women were admitted as associate members and in 1914, the constitution was changed to recognize women as full members. January 29, 1916, Manitoba was the first province to extend the vote to women (except Aboriginal women). In 1917, a women’s section was organized as the United Farm Women of Manitoba. At the museum, we have a copy of their 1929 United Farm Women of Manitoba cookbook. Most the recipes have basic ingredient lists and very minimal instruction. Their ads in the cookbook are wonderful. I am including several of the recipes found in the book. Perhaps you will recognize the local names. Fruit salad 1 can pineapple 2 large apples worth walnuts, chopped 10 cents Juice of 1/2 of a lemon 3 bananas worth Marshmallows: 15 cents 1 cup whipped cream Dice fruit and mallows. Pour lemon juice over mixture. Add whipped cream to the fruit. Mrs. Robert Burns Neepawa, Man. Dream cake 1 cup flour 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter Bake like shortbread until golden brown.

Congregation looking to the future as they enter 141st year Continued from page 1 In 1966, the door was further opened to women within the Presbyterian Church, when women’s ordination was passed. Today, in addition to leading worship, many women have active roles as leaders in the board and session. In 1982, the first woman was elected to Knox’s session. The first female minister was Rev. Gladys Anderson, who served from 1999 until 2007 and current minister, Rev. Jeanie Lee, was called in 2009. Changing times As with many other older churches, until the 1960s and 1970s, the congregation at Knox was large, with many children, a large Sunday School and even a junior choir. Since then, numbers have declined. However, the last eight years have seen a new change in the congregation, which had historically been made up members of a predominantly Scottish background. As the Town has become home to residents from different countries, some of these newcomers have chosen to worship at Knox, making it an increasingly multicultural group. This multicultural following is becoming key to Knox’s future. Rev. Jeanie Lee explains, “It is the new members who are continuing the church with new vision.” In 2008, Korean immigrants began com-

G. Crozier (1911-1915) church had a Rev. Rev. Cecil H Best (1916-1920) bold step, with Rev. R.G. Stewart (1921-25) the help of PresRev. R.J Kirkland (1926-27) bytery, to call a Rev. H.M.

Neepawa. A lot of churches with a long history and building are gone, due to a change in people’s lifestyles. It is the reality that many old churches are struggling due to a lower number of members. However, Knox Presbyterian Church is still going, with a strong ministry, even after 140 years.” She adds that while they may at times face financial strain, this is nothing the congregation hasn’t faced in the past. She explains that when they’ve worried about finances, Roy McGillivray, one of the church’s elders who served the church almost 70 years, has said, “Jeanie, I remember— many decades ago— our minister walked all the way to the farm house where I lived. And he had a meeting concerning the future of the church— whether the church should continue or close due to financial

shortages. [The minister] would stay over night at my house and then walk to another member’s house and continue to the others… for many days. But we’ve made it each time when things were difficult like that. So, don’t worry Jeanie, the Lord will provide!” Lee also credits a dedicated group who have been involved in the church ministry, leading choirs, playing instruments, working in the kitchen for community events and keeping up with the cleaning and yard care. She explains that these people have, “kept the church open through the spirit of love and dedicated hearts.” Opening to the community As the church enters its 141st year, Lee said they have a few changes planned. “We want to be used as God’s worker, to give a new life to those who need the love of God,” she explained, adding, “We are in the midst of a change to be more of a missional church, to open ourselves to our community, rather than being closed church.” She adds that they want to reach out to those who are waiting for help, in town or out of town. As part of this, for the past three years,

they have been serving a First Nations community in Birdtail, MB, where their team prepares worship service and food for about 100 people once a month. Looking towards the future, Lee says, “We are small but strong, healthy family of God.” While the congregation may be celebrating 140 years in the community, she adds, “A lthough our church building looks old, our people are young at heart and filled with joy of spirit and serve community with Christ’s love, in many different ways.” To celebrate the monumental birthday, Knox will be hosting two celebrations. On Saturday, June 17, there will be an evening banquet and program. Hosted at the Neepawa Legion Hall, this event will be a chance for the community and friends of the church to celebrate. For local music lovers, it will also feature special performances by four young musicians from Brandon University. Then, on Sunday, June 18, there will be an anniversary service at 11 am at the church, followed by a free barbecue lunch. The service will feature a celebratory message from special guest, former minister Rev. David Wilson.

Welcome to the Hall of Fame The Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum hosts its 21st Induction Dinner By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

he Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame has expanded its membership and Neepawa finds itself featured prominently amongst those honoured. The annual induction ceremony, which was held on June 3 in Morden, welcomed nine new individuals into their hallowed halls. Charlie Argue Mather), Shaun Cory (Wawanesa), Lane Curry (Manitou), Vince Eastman (Brandon), David Nychyk (Winnipeg), Gord Paddock (Oak River), Orville Renwick (Melita), Don Schmall (Neepawa) and Peter Thomson (Winnipeg) were all honoured as individual inductees. The Neepawa Farmers (1993-97) and the Ebb and Flow Lakers (1990-96) also entered the Hall under the “Major Team” and “Small Community Team” categories respectively. Additionally, Bob Boyce (umpire), the Eastern Manitoba All-Stars (1978) and the Gilbert Plains Legion Bantams (1965-68) join the Hall of Fame under the “Special” category. The 2017 class has special significance for Neepawa and the surrounding region due to the inclusion of these worthy players and ball clubs. PHOTO BY EOIN DEVEREUX

2017 Hall of Fame Inductees

Neepawa Farmers

hile other clubs in the Manitoba Senior Baseball League relied heavily on star power from across the border, the 1993-97 Neepawa Farmers were the definition of a homegrown team. That might have been the reason they won so much, because they played for their community as opposed to a paycheque. The Neepawa Farmers were a well renowned team throughout the 1990s, achieving their greatest success from 1993 through 1997. They went to the MSBL finals in all five years, winning the championship in ‘93 and ‘97. On top of that, they also claimed the 1997 Manitoba AAA Championship. Including the newest inductees Schmall and Eastman, there are six members of the team who are enshrined within the Hall for individual honours. Coach Garth White said that it was a very special time for Neepawa baseball, as this group of talented individuals forged a bond both on and off the diamond. “It was the friendships and that spirit of camaraderie that we had that made those years special. We had a great bunch of guys on the team, who just wanted to go play ball. A solid core of guys that played together early on. Then, around the ‘94-’95 season, some of the younger players started to find their place on the squad, but there were still enough veterans in the dugout that we still managed to compete,” noted White.

SALES EVENT 2017

hough Don Schmall has known about his inclusion into the 2017 Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame since October, the significance of the accomplishment didn’t really sink in for the former Farmers pitcher, until his car ride to Morden on the day of the ceremony. “As I was driving [to Morden], I was just flashing back to certain games and certain moments. What the induction meant really didn’t really hit home until that moment. Thinking back to what we as a team had accomplished and what my teammates helped me to accomplish on the mound,” said Schmall. And just what Schmall accomplished in 18 years, first for the Neepawa Cubs (1977-1981) and then the Farmers (1982-1994) was extremely impressive. He was a top pitcher in the league at a time when many teams were relying upon import hurlers. By the end of his tenure on the mound, Schmall was the Farmers’ all-time leader in innings pitched (609), wins (39) and strikeouts (274). He was the Farmers’ team MVP in both 1984 and 1992. In 1991, he pitched a no-hitter against the Dauphin Redbirds. Though all those accolades are impressive, Schmall singled out one game in particular during his induction speech that occurred early in his pitching career. It’s that game he believes emphasizes why his induction belongs just as much to his teammates, as it does to him. “It occurred in Hamiota. I was pitching against Hall of Famer Ron Ramsey (2010 inductee). After starting the game at 7:00 pm, we played nine innings and were back on the bus picking up beer at the hotel by 8:20 pm. I know there were only two or three innings where I think I threw four or five pitches. So guys, to say thank you and to keep things short. To my teammates, the next drink is on me. Thank you for this honour.”

2017 Hall of Fame Inductee

Vince Eastman

“C

ongrats Vinnie and welcome to the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame.” With those words, Vince Eastman’s journey came full circle; from the ball diamonds of Virden and Neepawa, all the way to the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame. Eastman’s odyssey started when he was just a 16-year-old, with his hometown team, the Virden Oilers and came to an end with a AA title with the Reston Rockets in 2003. A career highlight for Eastman was helping lift the Farmers to a provincial title in 1997, posting a 5-0 record in the playoffs. That exceptional effort earned him playoff MVP honours, as well as the Senior AAA Player of the Year award from Baseball Manitoba. After accepting his induction to the Hall of Fame, Eastman acknowledged many former coaches and teammates who helped to pave the way for him. He was quick to stress, however, that there was one special person in particular he dedicated the honour to, his mother Gloria. “Without her, none of this happens. This night is just as much hers as it is mine. It started when I was PHOTO BY EOIN DEVEREUX just a kid and she kept me in the game and kept me out of trouble. [She was] always getting me to the Ross Tycoles presents Vince Eastman with his games and never missing any of them. That’s the way it was right up until I left for college,” stressed trophy, welcoming him into the Hall of Fame. Eastman. “She dedicated so much time and most importantly, she believed in me.”

Ebb and Flow Lakers

o say that the 1990-1996 edition of the Lakers represented the Ebb and Flow First Nation with immense pride still feels a bit like an understatement. The central Manitoba team was a very successful tournament club during the early 90’s, not only within the province but also in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the United States. Although no statistical records were kept, the team had an estimated .900 winning percentage against several levels of competition including such top teams as the Elmwood Giants, Teulon Cardinals, Reston Rockets. Their successes reached a culmination in 1995 at Blaine, Minnesota, when the Lakers won the North American Indigenous Games final by a score of 4-1. Legendary Ebb and Flow pitcher Archie McIvor, who continue to throw to this day, hurled a three hitter to beat the state-selected team representing Minnesota. The legacy of those teams continues to this day for Ebb and Flow, where the love of the game lives on.

Neepawa Natives building for long term success By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner

While the immediate future of the Neepawa Natives is looking very bright, the MJHL club i s not neglect i ng it s long term development. The team selected seven players during the 2017 Manitoba Junior Hockey League bantam draft, which was held in Winnipeg on Sunday, June 4. Neepawa picked fourth in the first round and took defensemen Brady Whitely of the Winnipeg Hawks. In 33 games last season, Whitely collected 34 points (14 goals - 20 assists) and had a plus/ minus ratio of plus 63. Natives head coach Dustin Howden said that Whitely, who turns 15 on June 19, is a solid puck moving defensemen, who could open up the ice with his passing ability.

“Brady is a real character player, both on and off the ice. We’ve talked with him and are impressed with his maturity already. A year or two more of developing his game and we could really have a top blueliner who can make things happen.” General manager Myles Cathcart echoed Howden’s remarks, adding that Whitely is quite skilled and a very good skater, which will be a key asset for the future success of the organization. T he s e c ond r ou nd selection for Neepawa was 15-year-old Stephen Grahn of the Winnipeg Mona rchs. T he r ight winger had 30 points (15G - 15A) during the 2016-17 bantam season. C at hc a r t s a id t h at Grahn is a very skilled player who has a nose for the net. He’s confident that Grahn will continue

to develop his skill set and round into a complete player. Howden added that he is impressed with Grahn’s persistent work ethic, which will serve him very well, as he works to step his game up to the next level. The third pick for Neepawa was defenseman Brandon McCartney of Winnipeg. McCartney, who played for the Winnipeg Hawks in the bantam AAA league, tabulated 31 points in 33 games last season. In the fourth round, Neepawa selected forward Maddux Mateychu k of t he East man Selects (25G - 21A), with Zach Veitch, of Rivers, taken in the fifth round. The Yellowhead Chief forward had 31 points last season in 33 games. In the sixth and final round, the Natives had t wo picks and picked

forward Garrett Hrechka of the Parkland Rangers and defensemen Quinn He d g e c o c k f r om t he W i n n ipeg H awk s. I n tota l, Neepawa chose fou r defen semen a nd three forwards during the draft. As part of the MJHL’s auto protect list, the Neepawa Natives acquired the rights to two players, Yellowhead Chiefs goaltender Garret Rainkie and Neepawa Bantam Natives defensemen Tyler Gibson. A fter the draft had come to an end, Cathcart noted the organization is pleased with what they were able to assemble. “We were very happy with our draft selections this year as the scouting staff, lead by Byron Billett, set up the depth chart prior to the weekend. It was their amazing effort throughout the year

Natives fan from Gladstone hits the jackpot

By Ken Waddell The Neepawa Banner

A Neepawa Natives fan from Gladstone hit the jackpot on Friday night at the club’s Chase-theAce event. Darrin Cook drew the winning number at the Chase-the-Ace That lucky ticket number gave Cook a chance to pick a card and sure enough the ace of spades came up resulting in a cash prize of $2,028. That concludes game one, game two starts Friday and the Neepawa Natives have received approval from Manitoba Liquor and Gaming to up the ante for the next game. Starting this next round, the grand prize pot will start at $2,000. Tickets are 5 for $20. The times have also been moved a bit later with ticket sales starting at 6:30 p.m. and closing at 8:00 p.m. The draw will take place at 8:30. Until the last Friday in August, the CTA event will be held at the Neepawa Golf and Country Club, but after that it will go back to Friday nights

at the Yellowhead Centre. Chase-the-Ace is one of several community involvement projects being sponsored and run by the Neepawa Natives Junior “A Hockey Club. Other successful events held by the team include the Neepawa Sports Dinner, the annual Natives Awards banquet and the highly successful Ag Expo. The Sports Dinner is scheduled for Saturday, November 4.

that ensured we went into draft day ready,” stressed Cathcart. “Each of the players we selected exhibit character, work ethic and have leadership qualities. It is important to continue to bring in players to keep the tradition going. Our current roster players are true professionals that lead by example, so when new players get drafted, it is important to keep f illing the depth chart with similar leadership qualities, so that the transition is seamless when the young guys step into the line-up.” Up next for the Neepawa Natives will be the

team’s annual summer prospects camp in Brandon at the Sportsplex. That event is scheduled for July.

Obituary Verna Louise Kostenchuk Verna Louise Kostenchuk’s journey began September 23, 1940, and ended peacefully on May 29, 2017 , with her loving family by her side in Neepawa Memorial hospital. Louise was born in Shoal Lake, Manitoba, the daughter of Mike and Ann Koscielny. will be lovingly Louise remembered by her husband and “soul mate” George, her son Corwin Kostenchuk and wife Sheila Maksymchuk, daughter Lorilee Harris and partner Tim, son Curtis Kostenchuk and wife Marijka, her beloved grandchildren Nigel & Brendan Harris, Kendra & Ryan Kostenchuk, mother Ann Kuyp, sisters Marlene Hayhurst, Patricia Michie, Judy & Rick Bell, brothers Elmer & Anne Koscielny, Rod & Nancy Koscielny, brother in laws Nick & Sophie Kostenchuk, Nester & Marlene Kostenchuk, Orest & Kathy Kostenchuk, Sister in laws Jean Sokolik, Helen Marcischuk, Elsie & Lawrence Makwachuk, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Louise was raised in Rossburn, Manitoba and graduated from teachers college in 1956. In 1957 Louise taught grades one through nine in Lund school. Here she met the “love of her life” George. It was true love at first sight and they were married on August 01, 1959 in the Cathedral on Mountain Road. In 1962 they moved to Mountain Road from Saskatchewan, and in 1965 purchased the farm near Birnie. Louise taught school in Eden for many years and started the nursery program in Birnie. After several years teaching, Louise decided on a career change and started working at Neepawa Furniture Centre for Roy and Joan McGillivray. A job she truly enjoyed. In 2002 Louise retired along with her husband George. Louise was a devout member of the St. Mary’s Ukranian Catholic Church in Mountain Road for 55 years as well as at St. Dominics Roman Catholic Church in Neepawa. Louise had a faith that kept her strong throughout her entire life. She enjoyed singing in the church choir, taking pride in her home, spending time with her family and was especially proud of her grandchildren. She loved to travel and enjoyed holidays with friends to Hawaii, Sweden, Caribbean, Mexico & USA, as well as special family trips to Ontario, Palm Springs and Alaska. In 2009, Louise was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. After numerous operations and 104 Chemo treatments, Louise always said “the good lord will help me get through this”. Louise LIVED with her cancer! She always gave hope and inspiration to others and believed in the power of prayer. She never complained about the many hardships she faced every day. For the past six years she modelled for the Cancer Care fashion show, in Neepawa, helping to raise money for local cancer care patients. Just four days before she passed away, it took all the strength she had to model one more time, giving inspiration to her fellow cancer survivors who joined her on stage that night. She looked absolutely beautiful and was determined to walk the runway! Louise took great pride in herself and her home. She LOVED the color RED!! It symbolizes the woman she was Strength, Power, Energy, Determination, Passion & Love. It was HER color...be it in her furniture, wardrobe, or even her nails! I believe heaven has a new “sparkling” angel now & you will forever be in our hearts. We were so blessed to call you wife, Mother and Grandmother! We love you and we will miss you!

Obituary Gladys Law It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother Gladys Law on May 22, 2017 at her residence in McCreary , MB. Left to cherish her memory are her children Earl (Bertha), Robert, Donald (Diane), Marilyn (Ken), Penny; 11 grandchildren, 17 greatgrandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. Gladys was predeceased by her husband Leonard, parents William and Edith Blake, her son Gordon, daughter in-law Christianna, as well as brothers William, Walter, Clifford, Bert, Earl, Harry, Leslie and sister Grace. Gladys was born on the family farm 12 miles east of McCreary and grew up there, attending school at Sunrise school about 2 miles away. When she started grade 9 she had to stay in McCreary, working as a housekeeper to pay for her room and board while she attended high school. After high school she went back home to help her parents run the farm, this was when she started milking cows. Before that, she wasn't allowed to because Granny told her that there were enough boys on the farm to do the work. In October 1943, she married Leonard and had 6 children, Earl, Bob, Gordon, Donald, Marilyn, Penny. In 1957 they moved from McCreary to Cranberry Portage and lived there for 35 years. Len worked at the radar base and Gladys took care of the house and children, even taking in foster children and babysitting. In 1971 they bought the coffee shop and bus depot and operated that for 10 years, then sold it and retired when Gladys turned 65. They built themselves a new house in Cranberry Portage and spent their mornings and afternoons at the coffee shop visiting and playing cribbage. They went on vacations with their grandchildren, they bought a motorhome and they went to the east coast one year and the west coast the next year. They even spent 2 months in Hong Kong visiting Penny. In 1992 they sold their house in Cranberry and returned to McCreary. They loved it there. They still had brothers and sisters living there and they were so busy having coffee uptown and meeting with their friends, playing cards at the Seniors Drop in, going to all the bingos in the area that they were hardly ever at home. When Leonard passed away in 2010, Marilyn and Ken moved back to McCreary to stay with Gladys and take care of her so she was able to spend the rest of her years at home doing what she loved best, knitting. Many thanks to the home care workers for the excellent and compassionate care she received. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Gladys may be made to the McCreary Seniors Drop in Centre. A graveside service was held on Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 2:00 pm from the McCreary Municipal Cemetery. in McCreary, MB with Pastor Don Thompson officiating.

Walk for Alzheimer’s: Make memories matter Submitted The Neepawa Banner According to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, currently, more than 22,000 Manitobans have Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. This number is growing at an alarming rate and by 2038 it is expected to reach over 40,700. Forty-three per cent of Manitobans have a family member or close friend with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. An estimated 124,000 Manitobans reported to have used the services of the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba. Did you know that 83 per cent of the society’s funding comes from people like you? Neepawa will be hosting a fundraising walk for the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba. The walk will take place on Thursday, June 15 at Country Meadows personal care home. Registration is from 5:30-6:30 with the walk starting at 6:30. After our walk, we will return to Country Meadows where participants will be able to enjoy an evening of entertainment provided by Swamp Gas and there will be post-walk treats for everyone. Pledge forms for this great cause are available at the Neepawa HAND office, Country Meadows business office or printed off line at alzheimer.mb.ca For further information, please contact Marsha Forgue at 204-476-7815. We hope to see you there!

Local history on display

Continued from page 3 The high neck and detailing along the mid region of the dress makes it unique and displays the amount of effort put into it. The camera and photography sections of the display feature portraits, family photos and the technology of old cameras. One of which is entitled “Magic Lantern” was powered by a candle light within the lantern and glass slides are projected by the lens. These are only a few of the many interesting displays and artifacts that are housed at the Beautiful Plains Museum. To find out more about Neepawa and surrounding area’s history, stop by the museum anytime during our business hours. In June we are open: 9 am - 5 pm Monday to Friday; July and August: 9 am - 5 pm Monday to Friday, and 1 pm - 5 pm Saturday, Sunday and stat holidays; or call 204-476-3896 if you’d like to book a tour.

Want the latest news:

By John Drinkwater The Neepawa Banner On May 28, Sisters of the Holy Rock performed a well attended show at the Roxy Theatre in Neepawa. The group is a not-for-profit inter-denominational entertainment group who help fund raise for organizations, while providing enjoyment and uplifting spirits. The Reverend Mother, Carole “Whoopi” Stone, said, “We formed 24 years ago [after watching the film Sister Act] with 17 people. Our aim is to help people in need, partnering with groups to raise funds. Today, we are assisting the Neepawa Lions Club, who are hosting this event. Our members come from Winnipeg and the surrounding area. I was a graduate of St. Mary’s Academy, having been taught by nuns.” Stone explains that since forming, they we have grown to 50 performers, with over 20 sound and stage crew. The show offers a wide variety, serious, silly and humorous things. Ever ything is choreographed and memorized, they every Tuesday, except during the summer. “We consider ourselves entertainers, not a choir. We enjoy performing, having fun but not making fun of,” said Stone.
