Area Farmers Jim Krzyzaniak and Ken Lindsay banded together to combine a field of Lindsay’s canola east of Neepawa on Thursday afternoon. It’s good to be reminded of the robust, breathtaking beauty of autumn on display.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE NAULT FAMILY

By Ken Waddell The Neepawa Press The life of an auctioneer is never dull, especially when you are digging through boxes and boxes of “goodies” to get ready for an auction sale. Just before our Nov. 6 sale, I was rummaging through boxes to find the more collectible items. One box contained family photo albums which had been packed in

error. I returned those to the family. Deep in another box of books was a slightly battered black binder. Opening first page, a picture of PTE. E.M. Richardson popped off the page. It was easily recognized as his death notice from WWII. Richardson died in action while fighting in Italy in 1943. It said he was survived by his wife, the former Agnes Nault and a daughter, Malvina Rose Richardson. The binder contains the fateful telegram saying Richardson was missing in action. The book also has letters of condolences from the family of Vincent Massey at Canada House in London and other letters including one from King George. A family member has been tracked down and the binder will be returned to them

The family received a number of condolence letters, including ones from district chaplain’s office (above), the family of High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Vincent Massey (right) and King George (below).

Looking Back 1945: Thief attempts to gain entry to Neepawa Grocery NOVEMBER 11, 2015 3

Week of Nov. 11, 2015 By Cecil Pittman The Neepawa Press

80 years ago, Friday November 8, 1935: Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Jones have left Neepawa for England after spending eight years in this country. Mr. Jones is to be reemployed with the Humber Motor Car Company in a position which he held before coming to Canada. His experience in farming here has proven not so congenial as the work to which he is returning. 70 years ago, Thursday November 8, 1945: A thief made an attempt to enter the Neepawa Grocery last Thursday night and had made considerable progress before leaving. It is expected that he was disturbed before making entry. A panel in the back door had been smashed in and the bottom lock opened. The case has been reported to the police. A lean-to shed covering the back door afforded the prowler some measure of cover allowing him to work undetected from any great distance. Mr. Hamilton, proprietor of the store, is firm in his belief that if the proposal for lights in the

lane goes through, chances of entry will be lessened.

60 years ago, Thursday November 10, 1955: A map of the existing house numbers in Neepawa, obtained from Intercity Gas Company, was studied by town council last night at its regular meeting. The system of the present house numbering was again discussed and it was the general feeling of

the council that the system should be continued. However, due to the fact that the system had not been executed correctly when it was first started, it was felt that the present errors in house numbers should be rectified and the system continued from there.

50 years ago, Tuesday November 9, 1965: Seventy-five per cent of Neepawa voters turned

out at the polls Monday, in spite of cold weather and icy streets, to register their verdict in the Nov. 8 federal election. It was a very good turn out, according to poll captains and deputy retur ning officers. Approximately 1,593 voters turned up at three Neepawa polls, out of a possible 2,100 voters. 40 years ago, Thursday November 13, 1975: Attorney General Howard Pawley has announced the appointment of Leonard Elfenson as district registrar of the Neepawa Land Titles District, effective Nov. 6. He succeeds E. R. Goossen, who resigned last April. Mr. Pawley said Mr. Elfenson has served as deputy district registrar since Dec. 4, 1974 and, since April, was acting district registrar. The appointment was made with the recommendations of the Registrar General D. M. Lamont of the Manitoba Land Titles office.

30 years ago, Thursday November 14, 1985: Ed Levandoski has been elected as the new chairman of the Beautiful Plains School Division. Elections of the chairman and vice chairman were held at the last regular public meeting of the board, Nov. 5. The new vice chairman is Ernie Sydor, who was recently re-elected to ward three [Neepawa]. Trustee Levandoski held the position of vice chairman prior to the election. 20 years ago, Monday November 14, 1995: The Manitoba Human Rights Commission has ordered Beautiful Plains School Division to pay two disgruntled bus drivers unwilling to retire at age 65 - a $21,000 settlement. Former bus driver Gerald Barber received $12,162, while former driver Art Wareham received $9,355. The settlement amounts to a year’s wages for each man.

Spruce Plains RCMP constable Brad Patterson said the teen stopped at the corner to tie one of his shoelaces, when he was struck by a truck driven by a 16-year-old Neepawa girl. “There won’t be any charges laid,” Patterson said.

Saskatchewan farmers have faith in their government

Manitoba farmers not so much

n the last day of Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Month, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released a report, A Stark Contrast of Visions for Agriculture, showing a majority (66 per cent) of CFIB Saskatchewan farm members are confident that their provincial Ministry of Agriculture has a vision that supports agri-business and entrepreneurship in the agriculture sector. In a stark contrast, only 19 per cent of Manitoba farm members are confident that their provincial Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) has a vision for the sector. “At their heart, both Saskatchewan and Manitoba are agricultural provinces. Yet, when it comes to leadership on the agriculture file, Saskatchewan stands out with CFIB farm members giving a thumbs up to their Ministry of Agriculture. For Manitoba farmers, the grass is certainly greener

we’ll continue to see dismal confidence in the government.” CFIB recognizes government policy can either fuel or dampen optimism and growth in the agriculture sector. While governments cannot control many of the global issues, they can certainly take steps to improve the environment in which agribusiness owners operate. CFIB’s report outlines farmers’ top priority concerns and ways governments can address these issues so the sector can be more competitive in the global economy. “We hope this report encourages both provinces to look at their respective benchmarks and then work towards improving their vision for the agriculture sector,” concluded Braun-Pollon.

on the other side,” says Marilyn BraunPollon, CFIB’s vice-president Prairie and Agri-business. “It is evident Saskatchewan farmers support the vision and policies the provincial Ministry of Agriculture has introduced to date. However, we all know good is the enemy of great. Continuing to create the conditions for farmers to grow and expand should be a top priority.” “This study demonstrates that MAFRD and the Manitoba government are going in a direction that Manitoba farmers simply don’t support,” said Elliot Sims, CFIB’s Director, Provincial Affairs, Manitoba. “At almost every turn, the provincial government adds to the total tax burden of farmers and buries them in red tape, which limits their ability to compete with producers in other provinces and across the globe. Until we see common sense return to regulation making and a reduction in the heavy tax burden imposed on producers,

Letters to the Editor

There is no third level of government

f I hear more about so-called ‘progressive’ politicians, I will need one of those wax-lined paper bags airlines provide for passengers experiencing motion illness. There is nothing ‘progressive’ about spending money you have not earned, increasing taxation for whatever purpose or increasing debt someone else will have to repay. What we have is not so rich uncles spending an increasing share of our earnings to make them look like generous benefactors of the common people. Personally, I oppose federal spending on infrastructure except for infrastructure that is the constitutional responsibility of the federal government which is mostly confined to transportation links between provinces and between Canada and other nations. Local infrastructure is the responsibility of the provinces. Despite what we are told, there is no third level of government. Federal support to city and town infrastructure is nothing more than pandering for votes. Cities and towns are the creation and responsibility of the provinces that created them, not of the federal government. Whenever we fund provincial infrastructure,

we are letting the provinces off the hook for carrying out their constitutional responsibilities. The often lamented infrastructure deficit cities and provinces complain about is the result of decades of dereliction of duty. When the federal government partially funds local infrastructure, there is less money to fund interprovincial highways and other federal works, less money to use for our armed forces, immigration programs, international affairs and other federal responsibilities and most importantly, less money to allow reductions in federal taxation that benefit us all. The provinces love federal subsidies because it allows them to escape increasing taxes to provide the services they are responsible for. They get the money, but through federal taxation which makes them look better than they are. It is a shell game and a sham. Small wonder Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is so keen on Prime Minister elect Justin Trudeau – her province is deep in debt and she needs all the financial aid she can get without raising taxes further. Small wonder that Ontario politicians are making noises that the next

until they are safely retired on a generous pension. People from my grandfather’s era would tar and feather such shysters. Perhaps that is a practice we should resurrect. Canadians are a tough, resilient, resourceful lot and we will survive. However, we should not have to survive in spite of the governments that claim to represent us and our best interests. John Feldsted Winnipeg, Manitoba

Leader of the CPC should be from Ontario – or should that be from Ontariowe? Change in terms of amendment and adaptation is essential to our evolution as a nation. However, prudence and responsibility are finite and everlasting. Proponents of change cannot escape responsibility for the results of their actions. Too often, politicians are tempted by the prospects of incurring huge long term debts that will not start to really hurt the balance sheet

Helping newcomers on the path towards citizenship By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Press

Because of the influx in immigrant workers in Neepawa, Neepawa and Area Settlement Services (NAISS) has been very busy lately. Don Walmsley, coordinator at NAISS, estimated that about one quarter of Neepawa’s population is new immigrants. He said that since HyLife Foods took over the hog processing plant here, which was around 2008, the population of Neepawa has grown by about 25 per cent. Since June, he said that about 82 students that are new to Canada were enrolled in Neepawa’s schools. NAISS is an organization that is not run by the government. NAISS works with immigrants who have obtained permanent residency status. They do not work with immigrants who have a temporary foreign workers status (TFW), but many who come with that status become permanent residents (PR). The organization is meant to help PRs with their transition to Canada and get them equipped to obtain Canadian citizenship. “There’s essentially four pillars, our main services,” explained Walmsley. “The first one is Information and Orientation. And that can involve anything from where the post office is, to life in Canada,” Walmsley said. He explained that it helps immigrants get to know things such what it’s like to live in Canada as a whole, or what small town Manitoba living is like, or the differences between living in a city and living in a small town. “The next pillar is English as an Additional Language,” he continued. He explained that to be successful in Canada, knowing one of the official languages is essential. NAISS offers morning and evening English as an Additional Language (EAL) classes to immigrants. Since June, they’ve had 37 new EAL students sign

up for these classes. The classes are taught by an English teacher, and have a structured program. The program is structured in levels called Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) and an immigrant needs to reach certain CLB level in order to be eligible for citizenship. NAISS also offers a daycare type of service for immigrants with children who need someone to watch their child to be able to attend EAL classes. The third pillar is called Employment Related Services. “It’s around developing skills. So, for example, we have workshops available that we can provide that work on job interview skills, on the work environment in Canada,” Walmsley said. Different countries have different standards and different ways of running a workplace. “When you’re coming to a new country, these are all very important issues or aspects that you need to understand. Because really, what it comes down to for any of us, in any kind of work situation, is not simply being able to have the skills to do the job. Do you fit in?” Walmsley explained that being able to fit in and socialize with the other employees is imperative to being able to keep and move forward in a job. “We have workshops for employers, if they want, to talk about what sort of strategies to use when looking at a newcomer coming in,” he added. He said that so many of the newcomers have post-secondary education from their own country, but they can’t necessarily be considered a professional in their field with

just their qualifications from their country. NAISS helps these immigrants find out how they can use their skills and how to become professionals by Canada’s standards. They also refer the immigrants to the employment agency in Neepawa for them to find jobs. “The fourth main pillar is what we call Community Connections.” Walmsley explained that this pillar helps immigrants know what their rights are and helps make the connections to individuals in the community that they might need to get in touch with. “To help them find out what supports or resources are in the community, and make those referrals.” He said that many of the newcomers are very community-minded and NAISS helps them get involved in the community in ways that interest them. Once a family or an individual has lived in Canada for four of the last six years and has met certain criteria set by the government, they can become Canadian citizens. NAISS can’t offer services to people once they have become citizens of Canada, but they help the PRs get to the point where they are able to apply for citizenship. Walmsley estimated that since January, they have had about a dozen families in the Neepawa area become citizens of Canada. He hopes that eventually, Neepawa will be able to hold their own citizenship ceremony, so that residents won’t have to go to Brandon. NAISS is also looking to expand its volunteer base. Walmsley said that they haven’t decided exactly

Virden beats Neepawa for Murray Black Cup By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Press

The Rural Manitoba Football League season did not end the way the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Tigers had hoped for, as they were defeated 34-20 by the Virden Golden Bears in the Murray Black Cup. The game was played on Saturday, Nov. 7 in Neepawa and saw a large contingent of fans for both sides in the stands for the final. The first half featured both sides moving the ball down the field via a solid ground game. At the mid-way point, it was Neepawa who held on to a 20-14 lead. In the second half, Virden was able to make some adjustments on defence and shut down the Tigers offensive efforts. On the other side of the ball, the Golden Bears were able to take advantage of an injured and tired NACI defence by using the running back sweep to gain big yardage. That allowed Virden to tie the game at 20-20 after three quarters and eventually add two more touchdowns in the final quarter to secure the 34-20 victory. Neepawa coach Dave Clark said heading into this matchup, they knew it would be a real battle against the surging Golden Bears. He said that despite the final result on the scoreboard, the Tiger players should be proud of what they accomplished during the game and the season as a whole. “We battled and competed hard. These guys never even quit and that’s not just today. That was the entire season. I’m proud of what they did out there. The entire coaching staff is. We have a lot of younger players who gained some valuable experience this season and that bodes well for the program in the future,” stressed Clark. Neepawa quarterback Dylan Oshanyk ended the game

Despite their best efforts, the Neepawa Tigers were unable to contain Virden to the back field during the Murray Black Cup final. At the end of the game, it was Virden who would claim victory, by a 34-20 margin. 5-for-18 for 115 yards and one interception, while running back Dillan Neufeld added four carries for 56 total yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, in

the Doug Steeves Cup for the league championship, the Dauphin Clippers ended Swan Valley’s run for a perfect season, with a 17-16 win in overtime.

Rough star t f or Tigers varsity N A C I h o c k e y volleyball victorious By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Press

The varsity boys and girls volleyball teams for Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) are hitting their stride at the perfect time, just a few weeks ahead of Provincials. The girls varsity squad hosted a mini-tournament on Thursday, Nov. 5. The Tigers, along with the Minnedosa Chancellors, MacGregor Mustangs and Carberry Cougars took part in the event. The first game of the afternoon involved NACI facing Minnedosa. It was a closely contested affair, but the Tigers were able to hold off the Chancellors, on the way to a three set sweep, 27-25, PHOTO BY EOIN DEVEREUX

Ryan Kostenchuk (7) had an opportunity against Minnedosa on Friday, Nov. 6, during the team’s Westman High School Hockey League home opener, but was stopped by the Chancellors defence. Minnedosa would take advantage of its opportunities though, on the way to a 5-1 victory. The following night in Dauphin, the Tigers would fall to the Clippers by the score of 14-3.

25-17, 15-7. The other semi-final matchup featured Carberry defeating MacGregor in two straight sets 25-11, 25-19. That victory set up a showdown between Carberry and Neepawa to see just who would end up being the “AA” regional representative at the provincial qualifiers later this month. The Neepawa Tigers would come out on top of this contest, by a score of 25-18, 25-14. The boys side also took to the court on Thursday night for a game against the MacGregor Mustangs.

In Memory In loving memory

PITTMAN Of my wife Maureen who Passed away November 13, 1993. Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From sorrows and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there is no day and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness Can really pass away. And think of her as living In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost, As she was loved so much. - Always remembered and sadly missed By her husband Cecil

As for presentations made to Town Council during the meeting, Leisure Services manager Amanda Novak and Rotary Park Bird Sanctuary caretaker

Jake Birch requested assistance from the municipality to aid with the care of the animals residing there. Novak said someone is needed to help with

The Neepawa Town Council has entered the second year of its municipal mandate by making a few changes to councillor’s portfolios. During its most recent meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 3, Dean Dietrich was named deputy mayor. He replaces Isobel Jerema, who takes over as chair for Public Works and Infrastructure. Other appointments include Bill Stilwell, who will be chairing Finance and Administration, Murray Parrott will head the Community Development Committee, Jim Cockburn will be the chair for Public Safety and Darryl Gerrard was named the Human Resources Committee chair. During his Mayor’s report, Adrian de Groot noted now that the current council has been in place for just over a year, they will be able to use what they’ve learned in that time to create a plan for the future. “A little over a year ago, this council was sworn in to provide governance in the Town of Neepawa.

Mr. Sneath said that such statements of attitudes should be made by all affected parties before the hearings commence to give a clear indication of their position.

40 years ago Thursday September 4, 1975 A statement by the Manitoba Pool elevators president, H. B. Sneath, has included the CNR line between Russell and Neepawa, and south to the junction of the main line as essential to maintaining a basic grain shipping network in the province. The statement came in response to the announcements of the dates for hearings before the Hall Commission, set up to review rail-line abandonment proposals.

30 years ago Thursday September 5, 1985 The Roxy Theatre and Neepawa Drive-In Theatre are both up for sale, says owner Don Zaba, leaving the future of public movie showings in Neepawa hanging in the lurch, at least for a while. Zaba, interviewed by telephone from his Red Deer, Alberta home, said business at the drive-in and downtown theatre was “slow all the way around” during the past year, although the drivein did its best in 1984 since his purchase of both properties in 1975.

20 years ago Monday September 5, 1995 Hail the size of golf balls and gale-force winds beat down on crops, buildings and ma-

chinery, cutting a swath of damage south of Neepawa to Gladstone last Tuesday. After the storm, which dumped from one-andone-half to two inches of rain in half an hour cleared, property owners were left to survey the damage of the worst hail storm in years. 10 years ago Monday September 5, 2005 A nine-member interim board of directors was appointed Thursday evening to oversee Budz N Bloom daycare, after all but three members of the previous board resigned. The resignations took place after months of wrangling between board members and the daycare’s rst director Anna K. Gordon. Gordon also resigned. Thursday’s meeting to appoint an interim board was organized by the Neepawa Area Development Corporation, which spearheaded development of the community daycare.
