Youth forum focuses on past, present and future By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner For Kailyn Hanke, Canada’s past and future collided in Halifax last month. NACI Grade 10 student and HOPE member Hanke travelled to Halifax to take part in one of four regional Canada 150 & Me forums. Across Canada, the forums brought together a total of 150 students to talk about issues facing Canadians. Hanke was one of 36 students attending the Halifax event, which focused on immigration and diversity, with the forum itself taking place at Pier 21, the historic point of entry for many Canadians. Students were selected to participate in the forums based on projects submitted to the organizers, Experiences Canada. The multimedia projects were done online and while most participants completed their projects as part of a class, Hanke’s was done outside of school. The participating students were between 14 and 19 years of age and Hanke was the only student from the area who was accepted to take part in a forum. Canada’s past and present The forum itself took place on Tuesday, May 16,

but participants spent six days in the Halifax area. Hanke’s adventure began on Sunday, May 14, when she boarded a plane in Winnipeg to head east. Once she arrived, Hanke and the other participants got settled into their accommodations at Dalhousie University. Monday’s activities set the stage for the week, focusing on the history of the area and country. The 36 participants started their day at the Pier 21 Museum, where they listened to a presentation by Judy Abrams, a Holocaust survivor. From there, they visited Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Bluenose II, a replica of the famous racing and fishing schooner which has become a Canadian icon. They also visited Birchtown, which in the 18th century was the largest settlement of free ethnic Africans in North America, and Peggy’s Cove. Before going into the forum on Tuesday, Hanke said she was very nervous, “I didn’t know what to expect,” she explained. The day included presentations and break out sessions. The event was recorded and live streamed for people to follow at home. “I really

enjoyed it,” she said. On Wednesday, they learned about some of the issues currently facing immigrants to Canada with a presentation at the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia. There, they learned about refugees who have settled in Canada, including recent newcomers from Syria. Hanke said the presenters were both young and old. “It was easy to relate to their stories,” she said. They also enjoyed a meal of Syrian food prepared by the presenters. From there, they travelled south to Kejimkujik

National Park and National Historic Site. Known as “Keji” Park, the site is rich in Mi’kmaw history, such as petroglyphs and heritage artifacts. There, they hiked and took part in a presentation featuring stories and songs about the park. “This was one of my favourite parts,” said Hanke. On Thursday, the participants took part in a scav-

enger hunt around Pier 21 and then went to Africville. Located on the southern shore of Bedford Basin in Halifax, Africville was an early colonial settlement populated almost entirely of Black Nova Scotians. Most of the first settlers were former slaves from the United States or Black Loyalists freed by the Crown during the American Revolution-

ary War and the War of 1812. In the 1960s, the area was condemned and residents were relocated to make way for construction of the A. Murray MacKay Bridge and Port of Halifax facilities. In 1996, it was declared a National Historic Site and in 2010, Halifax council ratified a proposed Africville Apology. Continued on page 7

Movie night helps Make 150 Count By Kate Jackman-Atkinson The Neepawa Banner NACI Grade 12 student Kassia Hollier made $150 count for children and youth in the community. Hollier had been chosen as a recipient of one of RBC’s Make 150 Count grants, which gives Canadian youth $150 to put towards the betterment of their communities. Hollier wanted to use the money to promote and support children’s mental health and on May 24, she hosted a free movie night. Held at NACI, she invited families to come and watch Inside Out, an animated feature which was praised for its depiction of children’s emotions. The movie was written with the help of world-renowned psychologists and their research into emotions.

Hollier said the event drew about 50 people and raised a total of $656.25, including the $150 in seed money from RBC. “It went really well,” she said. While the movie was free, money was raised through concession sales and donations at the event. Hollier said she hasn’t yet decided where the money will end up, but it will support children’s mental health. “There are lots of options and I want to make the best use of the money,” she said.

Majoring on the minor things

There are common, unifying issues being ignored in Canada

CBC article this week stated, “Robert-Falcon Ouellette rose in the House of Commons this week, most of his parliamentary colleagues couldn’t understand some of what the WinnipegCentre MP said. Not because of his arguments -- but because he was speaking Cree.” He wants all languages spoken within Canada to be recognized in parliament. There are dozens, maybe more. Ouellette is a bright young Liberal MP from Winnipeg. He spoke a year or two ago in Neepawa at a Rotary Club meeting. People were impressed and justifiably so. In his Neepawa speech, he made some very good points about the social welfare system and offered many worthy possible solutions. On this occasion though, he has fallen into a typical political pattern, preach to the base while real issues go unattended. There are common, unifying issues being ignored in Canada, such as community viability, clean water and very unequal health care and educational outcomes. Speaking 20, 30 or more languages in parliament is not the path to success for anyone, least of all, the various language speakers. That the various languages can and should be spoken, preserved and celebrated is beyond question. But if a country is to thrive, there has to be a common language or two and in Canada, they are English and French. Some would argue that for legislation, for commerce and for parliament, there should be one and that is English. Interestingly enough, if you are an airline pilot, it doesn’t matter what your mother tongue is, you speak Eng-

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell lish. It has nothing to do with arrogance, with elitism or any other slur that might be pointed towards the English language, it is just a fact of life that has developed over centuries. English can be your first language, your second or third language, but it had better be one of your languages if you are going to succeed in today’s world. If Ouellette wants to help people, better he should concentrate on abandoning the Indian Act so individuals and communities can have more economic development. It is amazing how people major on the minor things. Thousands of people are without clean water and we waste time on issues like languages in parliament. If there was economic development, perhaps the communities could afford Indigenous educational institutions. This whole issue was raised on a Facebook discussion and one person said, “Where’s the market? It’s hard to have ‘economic development’ 400 km north of Thunder Bay, at the end of barely navigable bush road. Communities, Indigenous or not, that are located near markets or on major transport routes do well, the further away they are from markets, the less ‘economic development’

there is. Look at the villages in Northern Ontario or the middle of Saskatchewan that are dying for want of a market for what little they produce.” To that I responded that the commentator was absolutely right. People in some communities will have to do what my grandfather did or what immigrants are doing today and that is move to an economically better spot. There are jobs unfilled in some centres and no jobs in others. Just as many prairie towns have disappeared, perhaps some northern communities will disappear as well. Getting rid of the Indian Act would be a good start. Getting nearly everyone, and I mean, nearly everyone across Canada, into home ownership would be a huge step. The ignored, common, unifying issues in Canada stated above, such as community viability, clean water, very unequal health care and educational outcomes should be our focus. Other issues, such as those raised by Ouellette, are important, but they are neither essential nor strategic. If there is no clean water, no community viability and continued inequities in health and education, the other issues don’t matter.

oncern for the environment is something that unites most Canadians. Whether or not it’s because our national persona is tied up in a combination of wheat fields gently blowing in the wind and pristine lakes and woods, protecting our landscape is a cause that’s very close to most Canadians’ hearts. While most Canadians agree on the importance of protecting the env ironment, many disagree MY about how best PERSPECTIVE to accomplish this goal. When it comes to re- Kate source depend- Jackman-Atkinson ence, we are far behind many European countries, who have long been moving towards renewable energy, both for economic and environmental reasons. Germany, for example, broke a record on April 30 of this year, when 85 per cent of the country’s electricity came from renewable sources, including wind, solar, biomass and hydro electric. The very nature of our country makes some efforts at resource conservation close to impossible. Our vast, thinly populated landscapes make public transit difficult— an empty bus running between Minnedosa and Rivers is hardly an efficient use of resources. Our cold temperatures mean that we will use more energy, of any kind, to keep ourselves warm in the winters. But these challenges are opportunities and our unique landscape also gives us tools to preserve and protect the environment. World Resources Institute estimates that grasslands store approximately 34 per cent of the world’s carbon dioxide. Unlike forests, where carbon dioxide is stored in vegetation, the bulk of the carbon dioxide in grasslands is stored in the soil. According to research compiled by the Prairie Conservation Forum, it is estimated that the first metre of soil under native grasslands in western Canada could contain up to 200 tonnes of carbon per hectare. It’s further estimated that between two and three billion tonnes of carbon are under the uncultivated grasslands of western Canada. Farmers and ranchers are clearly undertaking major conservation efforts, without recognition or reward from the greater Canadian population. Those with first-hand experience know that many of the practices used by farmers and ranchers are contributing positively to the environment. With fewer Canadians having this first hand connection to agriculture, it’s important for all Canadians to know about this work, quietly being done. This January, Martin Shields, a Conservative MP representing the Bow River constituency, put forward a motion asking the government to recognize the work done by farmers and ranchers. It reads, “In the opinion of the House, the government should recognize that the ongoing contribution of ranchers and farmers as stewards of the land and conservationists is part of our history, proudly shared by all Canadians, and should consider establishing policies which would support and encourage the development of private farm and ranch land conservation and restoration projects.” As part of the debate that took place May 9 regarding the motion, Shields went on to say that while many programs are provincially mandated, identifying farmers and ranchers as conservationists and stewards of the land would help bring together provincial and federal departments of agriculture for program implementation. The motion received support from members across party lines. The 2016 Census of Agriculture found that there were 193,492 agricultural operations covering 158.7 million acres, or about 6.4 per cent of the country’s land mass. Conservation organizations like Nature Conservancy Canada, Ducks Unlimited and the Audubon Society are recognizing the important role that ranchers and farmers play in the protection of land, waterways, habitat and carbon capture. It’s time the rest of Canada did as well.

JUNE 16, 2017

Canadian generosity is shifting, not declining

hen it comes to measuring the impact of government policy on individuals and families, the research teams of the Fraser Institute are hard to beat. They gather data, crunch numbers, draw conclusions and publish them. Sometimes their conclusions make sense; sometimes they don’t. Case in point—their 2016 study on Generosity in Canada and the United States. For purposes of this study, generosity is measured using two criteria—the percentage of Canadian tax filers who give monetary donations to charity, for which they receive a tax receipt; and the percentage of aggregate personal income (gross income from all sources) they donate. Their data is drawn from statistical reports released by the Canada Revenue Agency for the year 2014. The data shows a steady decline in both criteria. In 2014, 21.3 percent of tax filers donated to charity and on average, they donated a mere 0.56 percent of their aggregate income. Both figures are down from

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein previous years and in both criteria, we trail our southern neighbors. These findings will come as no surprise to those charities (local churches, missionary societies, etc.) that rely almost exclusively on monetary donations for their revenue. The painful truth is that after taxes and living expenses are paid, most families have little, if any, money left. They would love to give something to their church or a charity; but they have nothing left to give. Yet these people are some of the most generous people I have ever met. What they can’t give in money, they give in time—coaching minor sports, helping maintain community parks and playgrounds, organizing fund raisers for neighbours whose home was destroyed by fire, helping stage local

fairs and music festivals— all on their own time and often at their own expense. Their reward is the smiles and expressions of thanks they receive from grateful neighbours and the satisfaction that comes from knowing that, by their efforts, they have helped to make their communities better places in which to live. These are rewards that no amount of money can buy. Then we must never overlook donations made for which no tax receipt is given—donations to a local food or clothing bank, good used furniture given to new families moving into the area or spare change placed in a collection box found at a local business. These donations stay in the community and go directly to those who need them. And thanks to the generosity of those who live in our communities,

Family ties

cousin from the west coast was visiting in Southern Manitoba and I was invited to join several family members first in Morden and then to Winkler, for a sit down supper. Caring deeply for my two remaining paternal aunties, and willing to reconnect with cousins, I scheduled my day and headed south. We first met at Oldies But Goodies, an antique shop Bevan loves and cares for. Sadly, I recognize all the memorabilia! I enjoyed viewing the glass table lamps, the collectable coloured glass dishes, the aged and ancient travelling trunks and sundry side tables. I was intrigued by the stained glass window collection and once again vowed to have mine restored (That’s been a vow for a while). More family members joined and we sat around exchanging chitchat, inhaling coffee and swapping family stories.

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen Crossing the back street, we rested at the one aunt’s home. While some rested, Aunt M and I spoke of deep and wondrous things. Her husband died just months before Ed and so we explored our growth through the dark times, our determination and courage to continue living each day. Aunt M had tried living in a 55 plus complex but, at 86, found it was too filled with old folks. She loves her condo and has resumed substitute teaching in the public school - music is her specialty but she holds her own wherever-- and volunteers.

To gently wake the ones who were resting, she pounded out a rousing Vivaldi selection on her well used and beloved piano. It worked, they woke. My other aunt, Aunt M the younger, turns 81 this summer. Half the year she and her husband run a Bed and Breakfast on Runaway Bay in Jamaica. While there they work closely with a church; providing hot lunches; sporting equipment and opportunities and education.

these agencies always have an abundance of resources to share. Sadly, these forms of generosity won’t likely show up in a Fraser Institute study. But God takes note of them and he considers them to be of great value. We demonstrate our love for God by the way in which we love and care for the world he has created and the people he has placed in our lives. There is no greater act of love than for one person to give up what he or she may want so that a neighbor can have what he or she needs to survive a crisis or disaster. Canadian generosity is not declining. It is simply taking on a new form. Those who cannot make the monetary donations on which national charities rely are choosing instead to look out for and care for their families, their neighbours and their community. I believe that this type of generosity will become even more prevalent in the years ahead; and that our families and communities will be better off as a result.

Aunt M the younger, is a mere 10 years older than I and we are close friends, exchanging phone calls and visits. The visit was going great. We now gathered at a cousin’s home in Winkler. Eight of us around a table laden with goodness. It is our custom to sing our table grace. I asked for “Be Present at our Table, Lord”, longing to hear the wondrous fourpart harmony. As the voices swelled and filled my being, my eyes sprung a leak and my voice stilled. I sat there, surrounded by family that loves me, inspires me and supports me and now I simply allowed the music to carry me. I ached to once again hear Ed’s voice contributing to the hymn of thanks and invocation. I gave thanks for the memories and all my tomorrows.

He is all knowing. Knows everything about us, even the thoughts of our hearts and He will never forget to guide and direct us and as we can read in Psalm 139 that He knows our thoughts from afar and that He knows it all.

Accessibility key to current system The following is written in response to an article about effective recycling in Manitoba published in The Neepawa Banner on June 1, 2017. In 2008, the Manitoba Government re-embraced the concept of a comprehensive recycling system that would include a broad range of packaging and printed material – not only beverage containers. This ensured that the recycling system would be convenient for everyone, as well as efficient and cost-effective for municipalities, consumers and the operators of the residential recycling collection or Blue Box system. Beverage containers have been collected in Manitoba’s province-wide residential collection system since 1995, a guideline in the new regulation in 2008 included a 75 percent recovery rate target for beverage containers. This made beverage containers the only specific product packaging to have a recovery rate target in Manitoba. The Canadian Beverage Container Recycling Association (CBCRA), a non-profit Producer Responsibility Organization, was then formed to reach this target and provide consumers a cost effective and convenient way to recycle empty beverage containers. CBCRA implemented the Recycle Everywhere program to help achieve this goal. Consumers in Manitoba can recycle their beverage containers at home in the Blue Box, or out and about through Recycle Everywhere’s public space recycling program. In Manitoba, consumers are charged a 2 cent Container Recycling Fee (CRF) on each sealed beverage container they purchase. This funds the cost of recycling beverage containers at home and away from home. Several other provinces in Canada have Deposit Return Systems for recycling beverage containers. In these systems, consumers are charged a deposit and a CRF on every sealed beverage container they purchase. To recycle these beverage containers, consumers must take them back to a depot. Consumers in deposit jurisdictions do not receive back the CRF that was paid. If they return their containers to a depot, they are refunded the deposit only. The CRF and unclaimed deposits fund these systems. Deposit systems lead to much higher costs for consumers as higher fees are paid upfront, with only a portion of these fees being returned, leaving the overall costs to consumers significantly higher than what they pay in the Manitoba system. For example, consumers in some deposit jurisdictions pay a nonrefundable CRF that is as high as 12 cents per plastic bottle. In addition, because the highest value materials, PET bottles and aluminum cans, are taken out of the Blue Box system in a deposit jurisdiction, the net costs to municipalities increases. Further to this, deposit systems lead to a larger environmental footprint, as well as being very inconvenient for consumers. Typically, people need to get into their car and drive past their Blue Box at the end of their driveway, to take beverage containers back to a depot, where one stands in line to get back $2-$3. This would become even more inconvenient in Manitoba’s cold winters. In Manitoba, you can simply drop your beverage containers into your blue bin, blue cart or one of the over 55,000 Recycle Everywhere bins located in public spaces across the province. So, in fact, the CBCRA system combines the convenience of a multi- material system with the performance of a deposit system, at a much lower overall cost to consumers. This system achieves results; in only five years (2010-2015) CBCRA has increased the recovery rate of beverage containers from 42 percent to 65 percent, with the new 2016 recovery rate about to be announced in mid-June. This system is making Manitoba a leader in recycling across the country and is the only beverage container recovery system that has shown this kind of tremendous recovery rate increase in such a short period of time anywhere in North America. This could only have been done with the enthusiastic and positive engagement by all Manitobans. We recognize and thank all Manitobans for their positive and upbeat commitment towards recycling, which is ensuring that beverage containers end up in the right place – the recycling bin.

Babysitting course returning to Dianne Brydon shares her Neepawa this summer story at the Neepawa library

Miranda Leybourne The Neepawa Banner The Town of Neepawa is once again putting on a course to teach young adults the ins and outs of babysitting. The course, which will take place on Saturday, July 29 at the town office building 275 Hamilton Street, is aimed at children aged 11 to 15 years. “It’s a really good experience for them,” says Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the Town of Neepawa, Colleen Synchyshyn. She goes on to say that the course has been very popular in the past,

and hopes to see a good turnout for it again this year. “This isn’t the first one we’ve hosted; we’ve actually had a few of these before,” she notes. “So, based on requests and people wondering if we were going to have another one, we just decided that we needed to take the opportunity.” The course costs $50 per participant, and runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Participants will need to bring their own bagged lunch, snacks, water bottle and realistic doll, as well as a pen or pencil and notepad. To register, visit www.neepawa.ca.

Neepawa residents now have a way to recycle their old phones Submitted Town of Neepawa The Town of Neepawa is now part of the Recycle My Cell program. Most of us have owned on average three or four cell phones prior to our current one. That means that a lot of us likely have a slew of old devices that are either getting hidden away in junk drawers or disposed of incorrectly. The Town of Neepawa has joined Recycle My Cell, Canada's free cell phone

recycling program, making it easy to dispose of your old devices responsibly. A drop off box is located at the municipal office, 275 Hamilton Street, where old wireless devices and their accessories will be accepted, regardless of brand or condition. After your device is received, it is sent to a processor where it can be refurbished or broken down and recycled. The Town of Neepawa encourages members of the community to take a few moments to reflect on

some of the simple things they can do to help protect the environment for future generations. Thinking green doesn't need to be complicated and keeping old cell phones out of our landfills couldn't be easier! Help the Town of Neepawa go green by dropping off your old cell phones! Accepted items include: cell phones, smart phones, wireless PDAs and pagers (as well as their batteries and accessories). For more information on the program, visit www.recyclemycell.ca.

On Thursday, June 1, Dianne Brydon gave an interesting presentation of the challenges she and her father met and overcame while researching the family history book, The Stalwart Brydons: From Scotland to Galt to Portage la Prairie, A Family History of 100 Years in Canada. She described the difficulties in proving family relationships and how resources, such as Census, annual assessment records and church documents can connect family members to one another and prove - as well as dis-prove - previous assumptions. Dianne was also very pleased to meet many of her extended family members in Neepawa – several of whom came out to enjoy her presentation. The presentation took place at the Neepawa Public Library

Magic Baking Powder, a Canadian tradition

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. Magic Baking Powder was first made in Canada in 1897 by the E. W. Gillett

Company in Toronto and is now owned by Kraft; a factory in Ontario produces it for the Canadian market. The label Magic Baking

Powder is found only in Canada. Though the tin is now plastic, the label has not changed (apart from being metricized). In the 1980s, a representative from the Magic Baking Powder Company appeared as a guest speaker at a lecture for students at the University of Western Ontario. The

speaker asked the students in the lecture hall how many of their mothers used Magic Baking Powder. No one knew. He held up a tin of it. Every hand in the hall shot up. “And that”, he said, “is why we’ll never change our label.” Magic baking powder put out many cookbooks through the years. My oldest

one is from 1930. I will share one of the six prize winning recipes printed in the front. This recipe won $250 in the National Mystery Cake Contest. That was a lot of money back in 1930, when one could feed a family for $7 to 8 for a week in groceries. Recipes are printed as they are in the book.

Two-Tone Mocha Walnut Miss M. McFarlane’s recipe Named by Gladys Skibsted, Beynon, Alberta 1/2 cup butter 3 tsp. Magic Baking Powder 3/4 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 3 egg whites 2 cups flour 1/2 cup strong cold coffee Cream butter thoroughly; add gradually sugar, creaming well with butter. Note: it is the thorough beating and blending of these first ingredients that lay the foundation of the final texture of your cake. Measure dry ingredients- sift together twice. Add dry ingredients alternately with cold coffee. Beat thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended. Add chopped walnuts. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour batter into greased cake pans – filling only two-thirds full. Bake in a 350° oven for 25 minutes. Frosting: 1 Tbsp. cocoa 1 cup icing sugar (or more) 3 Tbsp. butter 2 Tbsp. strong coffee Cream butter with 2 Tbsp. sugar; add liquid. Stir remaining sugar with cocoa. Add to the butter. Beat till light and fluffy. Note: to have an icing with a smooth glazed surface use liquid hot. Marmalade nut cookies This recipe comes from a Magic Baking Powder cookbook that is 50 years newer. Drop cookies – so easy to shape – feature nutmeats and orange marmalade in a happy combination. 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. Magic Baking Powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup Blue Bonnet margarine or butter 2/3 lightly packed brown sugar 1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla 1/3 cup thick orange marmalade 1 cup coarsely-chopped nutmeats

Grease cookie sheets. Preheat oven to 350°. Sift together flour, Magic Baking Powder, soda and salt. Cream margarine or butter; gradually blend in brown sugar. Add egg and beat it in well; mix in vanilla, marmalade and nutmeats. Add flour mixture part at a time, combining well after each addition. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls, well apart, on prepared cookie sheets. Bake in oven 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Yield about 5 dozen cookies. COURTESY OF THE BEAUTIFUL PLAINS MUSEUM

Hope for the future For Hanke, the trip included a number of firsts, including her first time flying alone and her first time seeing the ocean. It also left her with a lot to think about. Looking back at the experience Hanke said, “I learned so much about the country I didn’t know.” She added that while some of the stories they learned about were depressing, it was ultimately uplifting, “You look around and see how many kids are making a difference.” She added of the experience, “I met so

many great people from across Canada.” Other forums were held in Vancouver, on April 5; Montreal, on April 11 and Winnipeg, May 25. The National Youth Forum will be held June 26, in Ottawa.

Provincial crop report - June 12-16, 2017 Submitted Manitoba Agriculture

Many areas of Manitoba have recently received precipitation, although amounts varied considerably throughout the province. Soil conditions remain dry in many regions. Seeding operations are wrapping up with an estimated 95 to 100 per cent of acres seeded in most of the province. Weed control is underway and most crops have had one herbicide application at this time. High winds in many regions have restricted herbicide applications to early morning and later in the evening. Southwest Region Above normal temperatures have lead to good growing conditions. Much of the region received rain over the weekend, with most of the rain falling south of Highway #1. Areas south of the TransCanada received 15 to 35 mm, while areas north of Hamiota to Riding Mountain National Park received two to five mm. Miniota, Russell, Rossburn, Shoal Lake, Erickson and Rapid

Most early seeded canola is at three to four leaf or rosette stage. Some early seeded canola has been sprayed for f lea beetle control. Late seeded fields will benefit from the recent rain, as most seeding was done in dry seedbed conditions. Soybean crops are responding well to the warm weather and will

benefit from the timely moisture. Emergence is even in the majority of fields. Most crops are at one to two trifoliate stage and some had their first application of herbicide. The majority of sunf lower crops are at the four leaf stage. There are reports of cutworm activity in sunflowers. Corn is at the one to three leaf stage. Bertha army worm traps are up in the region and diamond back moth counts continue to be relatively low.

On June 8, Neepawa Brownies and Sparks, in conjunc tion with Neepawa UCT, planted flowers in the bed at Neepawa Tire. PHOTOS BY KAY DE’ATH

Banner Staff The Neepawa Banner On May 7, the Ford family, of Neepawa, attended the leadership wall unveiling at St. Boniface Hospital, in Winnipeg. The family was named on the donors’ wall because of the support they received from the Neepawa-area community. In 2011, their son Zdeno (Zedo) was born premature and spent most of his 22 day life in St. Boniface Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Following his passing, the family started a fundraiser to purchase a new isolet, which would help other premature babies and their families. The isolet is a selfcontained incubation unit that provides a controlled heat, humidity and oxygen microenvironment for the isolation and care of premature and low-birth weight babies. In addition to accepting donations, the Fords sold merchandise, including copies of Stella Finds a Bed for Zedo, the children’s book they made, as well as children’s clothing and hats. With community support, the family raised just over $38,000, which was used to purchase the isolet in 2013. Corrie explains, “The majority of Zdeno’s life was spent in St. Boniface Hospital, having a place we can call our own there is such a great way to carry on his memory!”

Former NACI coach to be enshrined at BU Wall of Fame

Submitted BU Athletics Media Release

The Brandon University Athletics Wall of Fame has a new Neepawa connection. Former NACI Tigers football coach Lorne Lagimodiere is one of eight individual inductees selected for the 2017 Wall of Fame induction. Seven other individuals and two teams will be a part of the Wall of Fame induction. Lorne Lagimodiere was a key recruit for the BU Bobcats in the late ‘60s out of Montreal and helped take the university’s football program to greater heights on the gridiron. Bobcat coach Doug Steeves brought Lagimodiere to Brandon from Quebec, where Steeves coached him at Hudson Heights. In 1964, they captured a city championship together. Lagimodiere had a standout career with the Bobcats from 1968 to 1972 and was described by his former BU teammates “as the smallest guy on the field, but played with the biggest heart.” Among his major highlights was becoming the highest scoring Bobcat for a single season in 1969, when he broke the previous record held by Jim Haynes in 1965. In 19701971, Lagimodiere won the prestigious Jim Casey Award for sportsmanship. He closed out his post-secondary career considered as one of the top running backs to ever play football at Brandon University. After his Bobcats career, Lagimodiere was instrumental in helping the Rural Manitoba High School Football

Off-season committments to Neepawa Natives Submitted Neepawa Natives Media Release

The Neepawa Natives have been busy in the offseason, shaping the roster for the upcoming year. The Junior ‘A’ hockey club recently signed three players for the 2017-18 MJHL season, who should help compliment a returning roster. Those additions include Benoit Mowbray of St. Lazare and Lewis Nefrich and Troy Earl, both from Winnipeg. Mowbray played last season with the Yellowhead Midget Chiefs and accumulated 36 points over a span of 44 games. Neepawa Natives general manager Myles Cathcart noted that the team has kept a close eye on the 18-year-old forward over the past few years and are impressed with how he has developed his game. “Mowbray is truly a complete hockey player and competes in all three zones,” stated Cathcart. “We have watched Benoit for many years and each time we watched him play, he stood out. His work ethic provides energy which fuels the team energy. He possesses leadership qualities, character and commitment to the game of hockey. He will quickly become a fan favourite.” Lewis Negrich played for the Winnipeg Thrashers and had 43 point in 44 games. Cathcart said that Negrich is a highly skilled centre with great speed. “He has a great shot and sees the ice very well. Centres are important players on a team and when the organization can add them to the roster, it just makes the team deeper,” explained Cathcart. “Negrich possesses all the qualities of leadership and team play that is important when building a team. Chemistry are extremely important within a room and Lewis will be a welcome addition to the dressing room.” Continued on page 14

Neepawa Natives off-season deals

Continued from page 13 As for Troy Earl, the former Winnipeg Wild defensemen had a 25 point season in 2016-17. Cathcart added that Earl possesses a very good skill set. “[Earl] is able to close gaps quickly, as he is a good skater. He is coming from a very good hockey program, so he is well coached and understands the game. This is quality young man who will add depth to the team’s defensive core for the upcoming season,” Cathcart stated. Next up for the Neepawa Natives will be the team’s annual summer prospects camp in Brandon at the Sportsplex. That event is scheduled for July 10-11.

Kelwood Skating Rink Committee would like to thank the Yellowhead Arena Committee and Mike Speiss for the donation of the hockey boards to the town of Kelwood. Thank you to all the volunteers from Kelwood and one from McCreary. Sincerely President Larry Henton

Would you consider becoming a volunteer for TNR (trap, neuter, release) in the Neepawa area? More volunteers, means more rescue service and less homeless felines. Volunteering does not require many hours of your time or a lifetime commitment. We would appreciate any time or service that you can provide. These are some categories you could help with. •Fostering: Taking in a homeless cat or kitten that has been rescued. Provide shelter, nourishment and socializing until a permanent home is found. Cost for food and litter and vet care is provided by TNR, but food and litter provided would be appreciated. •Cat shelter: Newly rescued cats and kittens are temporarily sheltered before veterinary attention is completed. We require daily feeders, groomers and socializers. •Rescuing: If you encounter a homeless cat, TNR will humanely trap and rescue, please contact us.

•Promotion: Volunteer for events that raise funds for TNR and invite a friend to attend. •Travel: All rescued cats are treated at veterinary clinics in our area. Treatment includes deworming, snap test, vaccinations, treatment of earmites, neutering and spaying and unfortunately, treatment of injuries. We require drivers to deliver and pickup . •Donations: TNR always requires litter, food, blankets, towels, litter pans, shelter supplies and toys.

•Carpenters: If you have carpenter skills, we need insulated shelters. Severe winter weather is deadly for homeless cats. If you can, donate any scraps of wood, insulation or shingles for shelters and volunteer to build. •Adoption: Ultimately offer a permanent home. Please help us to home our furry buddies. Be responsible and ensure your pets are spayed or neutered and do not let them run free.
