The Great Benjamins Circus, a family of third generation circus performers from the U.S.A and Mexico, paid a visit to Neepawa on Saturday, Sept. 15 to dazzle residents and visitors. The all-ages circus was greeted with a large, eager crowd that packed the tent for a pair of performances. Pictured: The circus daredevil stepped into the “wheel of death”, and is seen communicating with his helper that he is ready to go. The daredevil performed anti-gravity jumps, skipped rope, and even completed a revolution blindfolded! Inset picture: The circus clown in their cheery make-up and bedazzling attire made their way around the big top posing with many families. Additional pictures will appear on page 9.

Provincial program supports HyLife Foods expansion By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

The recent expansion at HyLife Foods Ltd. in Neepawa has received a little extra support from the province. On Friday, Sept. 14, the Manitoba government announced that it would assist HyLife’s recently completed expansion to the Neepawa plant, as well as the ongoing construction of a new feed mill near Killarney, through its Tax Increment Financing (TIF) program. Tax Increment Financing is a financing tool that can promote economic development through incremental taxes created by significant new development. Through the TIF initiative, HyLife will receive $9.5 million over 22 years. HyLife has spent $176 million in recent years to expand in Neepawa and Killarney, as well as develop more hog barns throughout western Manitoba. During a press conference at Neepawa Lions Riverbend Park, Premier Brian Pallister said sup-

porting HyLife’s expansion in this manner aligns with their priority of building on Manitoba’s industrial strengths. “The growth we are seeing at HyLife helps position Manitoba pork as a high-quality, high-value commodity in a growing global market,” noted Pallister. “To aid with the type of significant investment, the idea [behind the TIF program] is to encourage the investment of private capital into our economy, that will stay here and create more jobs and more growth; More employment and more opportunities for years to come.” Economic activity locally Claude Vielfaure, the CEO for HyLife Foods Ltd., thanked the province for their support. He added that this enables them to create jobs and economic activity locally here in Neepawa and in the province of Manitoba for the foreseeable future. “It’s an important part because it gives companies confidence to invest in the

province and to continue to grow. It takes all aspects for this to happen and one of them is certainly for the government to be positive and onside on the growth in rural Manitoba,” Vielfaure said. “As a grassroots business that started in Manitoba, it’s so important to have a government that is supportive of business, supports industry and supports rural Manitoba. That’s what today is all about. It’s very exciting for us at HyLife to be able to continue to invest here in the province and here in Neepawa and be able to do so long-term.” Commitment to the area Agassiz MLA Eileen Clarke said she’s seen first hand the type of commitment HyLife over the past decade. She said it’s having a positive impact on our region. “My involvement with HyLife goes back to 2008 when the first immigrant workers came to Manitoba and came, specifically to our area. The changes and

the growth that’s been seen in the past 10 years, because of that is unbelievable. And the economic spinoffs from HyLife, because of the jobs they’re creating and their financial commitment to this area; it’s unbelievable,” stated Clarke. “I just can’t say enough good things about the opportunities they have provided to Neepawa and area.

Several new candidates In total, there are seven new candidates that can participate in the upcoming election, while six will be vying for re-election. One person will not be returning to the council table, as Bill Stilwell will not seek re-election. After filing their papers on Tuesday, Sept. 18,

these individuals have a 24 hour period to withdraw from the race. If they do not withdraw in that time period, their names will stand and appear on the ballot. The 24 hour withdrawal period ended after the Banner & Press publication deadline, so an updated list will appear in the Sept. 28 edition. In the 2014 municipal election, only six candidates ran, so all six council seats were acclaimed.

La Broquerie, HyLife is the largest hog production company in Canada and among the top 15 in North America. HyLife exports 75 percent of its products to 23 countries around the world including Japan, China, Mexico and Russia.

The Whitemud Comedy Company wishes to invite new members to join our local adult theatre group. We are planning a fun pre-Christmas production in our famous Roxy Theatre. It is a great opportunity for you to participate in the excitement of live theatre! There will be no trauma of memorizing dialogue, because it is a radio play and the actors read the script! With a simple set, the backstage work will be a wonderful way to get an introduction to the skills that are needed to put everything together. It takes many people to do all the backstage work, such as set construction and decoration, prompting, lighting, sound, costumes, publicity, makeup, and whatever is needed. It’s important to have a good crew and it’s fun! We need good voices for this play, especially men, for this production in particular, as well as women. We don’t care if you are older than dirt, if you have a good voice. Recruit a friend, or a neighbour to join with you. It is guaranteed to make you forget winter for at least a couple of months. How about it? Call Arts Forward (Viscount Cultural Centre) at 476-3232 and tell them that you are interested in joining Whitemud Comedy Company. There is no cost, as it is a non-profit organization. It’s just entertainment for you and for the audience.

A beef with meat

Tundra by Chad Carpenter

Window of opportunity to complain is closing

s of Tuesday of this past week, nominations closed for mayor or reeve and councillors in our cities, towns and municipalities. Candidates had until Wednesday to change their mind and could withdraw, but only if there were enough candidates to fill each seat. In other words, if a council has six members and only six filed papers, a candidate can’t withdraw. So with the passing of the deadline on Tuesday, a window of opportunity to voice complaints closed. Coffee shops across Manitoba are full of people with opinions, but there are few who actually step up. The fact that many seats are not even contested and that tons of seats are acclaimed shows either satisfaction or apathy. There are many situations where people are quite happy with the performance of their council members. However, there are many situations where people are very unhappy with a council, a councillor, mayor or reeve and there is no resistance raised to their re-election. If a community isn’t truly happy with their elected officials, it’s pretty sad really, if all they can do is complain. Rural Manitoba is changing and has been changing for years. The number of farms has been declining for decades. The 2011 Census of Agriculture counted 15,877 census farms in Manitoba, a 16.7 per cent decrease since 2006. This compares to a 10.3 per cent decrease at the national level. A census farm is an agricultural operation that produces agricultural products intended for sale. Many of those farms in that neepawa

Ken Waddell figure are very small and some are huge operations. Just as an example, the RM of Rosedale peaked in population in 1941 at 3,781 people. It dipped to 1,658 in 2006 and came back up a bit in 2016, to 1,672. The increase from 2006 to 2016 can likely be attributed to an influx of people into Rosedale living on smaller acreages where the farmsteads were once part of a larger farm. Some Manitoba towns have grown, some have disappeared. Whether they have grown or whether they have disappeared has depended on only two things, outside forces and internal management. The outside forces, such as declining numbers of machinery or car dealers, can’t be influenced a lot except to say that local loyalty needs to be enhanced. It’s no secret that a person can buy a car, truck or tractor anywhere they like. If they don’t buy local, the question needs to be asked, “Why?” Is it price, selection or a preference for a different dealer experience? That’s something local people get to decide, but there are always consequences with a choice. The internal management is almost totally up to the local voters and councils. They have the say

in determining how a community rolls. If a major employer comes to town, that is good, but how the growth is handled is a big question. If major employer leaves, how is that transition handled? If we look at history, an example from Neepawa’s history shows that from the 1940s to 1960s, the salt plant was a major employer. The plant closed and the buildings and land were turned over to the Town. The Town then turned it all over to the Neepawa Centennial Project Inc, a community corporation that turned the salt warehouse into the Yellowhead Centre Hall, the mill building into the the lobby and dressing rooms. The arena was then added on. Forty-six years later, the result is the Yellowhead Centre and in contrast to many communities, it only carries about $100,000 in debt, as a result of recent upgrades to the arena. Running a community is always a matter of balancing internal and external forces. Disclaimer: The writer serves as a volunteer president of the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association.

very hero needs a villain and it seems that farmers are unknowingly being cast into that role. At the end of July, New York-based company, WeWork, announced they would no longer support the consumption of meat. Not only would they not serve red meat, pork or poultry to their 6,000 workers at company events, they will no longer reimburse employees’ expense claims for meals which include meat. WeWork’s co-founder and chief culture officer Miguel McKelvey said in a st atement , MY “New research PERSPECTIVE indicates that avoiding meat is one of the biggest things an individual can Kate do to reduce Jackman-Atkinson their personal environmental impact.” He further wrote that the meat ban is an effort to reduce the company’s carbon footprint. WeWork is a strange combination of a tech and real estate company. It offers co-working spaces around the world; essentially, they negotiate long term leases from landlords and rent that space out to short term tenants. While often described as a technology company, WeWork is really an international real estate company. There are lots of holes in this save the planet rhetoric. For example, chicken isn’t allowed, but eggs are; the commercial production of both is pretty similar. Fish is allowed, but let’s not forget the not-insignificant environmental impact of fish farms. Despite the policy being wrapped in a green bow, it’s hard to see it as anything but a ploy. While the ban on meat may make those at head office feel morally superior, what does it mean for sales reps meeting with clients around the world? If a potential landlord orders a steak at a business meeting, who pays for it if the company trying to woo them won’t? I pity the poor HR staffer who has to act as the meat police. Some have pointed to the policy as an another step in the trend of technology companies blurring the lines between home and work. Some have pointed to it as a legal way of hiring a certain type of employee. A company can’t discriminate in their hiring practices, but this type of policy is likely to attract a potential hire who is of a privileged background and eager to drink the Kool-Aid. That’s not to imply that the rest of us don’t care about the environment, but we’d rather make our own choices than be told what to eat. The policy is also a way to differentiate the company from its competitors and gives WeWork a certain cachet. It has certainly given them a lot of free publicity. Love or hate the policy, I’m sure a lot of people had never heard of the company before this. Bottom line, banning meat is also a surefire way to save money. If the company really wanted to put its money where its mouth is, it would have taken a stand on the type of real estate is uses, something that actually aligns with the core business. WeWork has over 400 locations in more than 75 cities. It leases a combined area of about 10 million square feet. It could have said it would only lease space in LEED-certified buildings. It could have required all of its office space to use LED light bulbs or smart thermostats or any number of initiatives that reduce energy consumption. It could have positioned itself as a green real estate company in a way that really matters, and not just to other billionaire tech CEOs. For someone far removed from the real life of food production, agriculture is a convenient target. Going forward, this will be the major type of threat the industry will face— it won’t be drought or flood, it will be policies made by those and for those with no understanding of the realities of where their food comes from.

Life changing attitudes: Part One Observation

n his book “Life is Tremendous,” the late Charles “Tremendous” Jones urges his readers to build two habits into their lives. “The first,” he writes, “is to ‘Say something positive to everyone you meet.’ The second is to ‘Read something positive into every situation you encounter.’” Now I won’t, for one minute, suggest that doing this will be easy. I know, from a life-time of personal experience that it isn’t—and the older I get, the harder doing the above becomes. So why would I write about the importance of having a positive outlook on life? Because I am tired of living in a world where some people excel in the ability to complain to everyone they meet about everything they see at every chance they get. Now I will admit that the previous statement is extreme; but I have used it deliberately to make a point. Over the years I have noticed that the more people have, the more they

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein want. The more they want, the less they can afford. The less they can afford, the more they complain. The more they complain, the more they fill their world with negativity. So I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised when we see this same attitude displayed by those who hold the highest offices of leadership in our country. In fact, our political system thrives on people who complain. When was the last time you heard of an Opposition MP or MLA who commended the current government for doing something right? We’ve had a flood or two in Manitoba since then. Or have you ever heard a Government Cabinet Minister commend an Opposition MLA for having a good idea or making a valid point in Question Period? I

have—once—many years ago—in Alberta. You and I can’t change what others do, but we can refuse to be part of the GMC (Grumble, Murmur and Complain) Society. We can, beginning today, make two significant changes to the way we view the people and conditions around us. First, look for the positive things in life—the blessings you have received; the food, clothing and shelter you enjoy; the rights and freedoms that are yours because you live in this country—privileges that others in our world know little or nothing about. Most of all, look for and be thankful for the people in your life who, by their words of encouragement and acts of kindness make coping with serious challenges much easier. Fill your

mind with thoughts of these gifts and these people. It will radically change how you respond when people ask you “how you’re doing” today. Second, do your best to convey a positive outlook on life. You don’t have to lie in order to do this. If you’re having a rough day, admit it. People will understand. We’ve all had our share of them. But don’t dwell on it. State it and move on. Be thankful for those who cared enough to ask how you were doing and for their words of encouragement or acts of kindness that just made your day a little better. Finally, remember that you are not alone. You are part of God’s world and God is always with you wherever you go. He is fully aware of every need you have and every challenge you are facing or will face today. And he is ready to help. So be hopeful, live by faith, keep smiling and stay positive—your attitude will make a powerful impact on those around you.

This is not a good day

he wee lass was asked to put on pants. She was used to the comfort and ease of shorts, but the weather required warmer clothing. Her choice was to put on her pants or not go to the playground. Putting on pants won. As she was trying to put them on as she remained standing, she listed severely and slowly toppled over. The voice was clear and concise –‘ this is not a good day.’ I thought about that. To a child of four, putting on pants and tumbling over makes the day not good. It is her perspective and she is entitled to it. She shook off the emotion and enjoyed the afternoon. There are days that many of us feel could be better. The day the car dies, or a pet!, stress at work, ill health, tight finances, - many factors

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen contribute to not a good day day! Some things are truly minor and we should shake it off and enjoy the playground. One of the men from our framing community, when asked how things were going, would cheerfully reply –‘could be worse!’. As the conversation would continue and some of the facts of his day unfolded, one wondered how it could be worse. Knowing that of course it could be worse. We were all upright and speaking. Another, older than me, gentleman would always say‘As long as you’ve got your health.’ When I was young I

e r o M

had no idea of the deep truth to that saying. The older I get the better I understand and appreciate that truth. When one has set backs and failures there is a chance of a successful redo if you have the health to work hard and dig in. Most times. There is a difference between a day being the worst day of your life- and that changes as we age!, and not a good day. When I was young the worst day of my life was a variable- failed an exam, broke up with a boyfriend or fought with a best friend, to, indeed the day the family dog died. As I got older, it took

an event of greater impact to make a worst day. The day I recognised that my first marriage was toxic and I needed out. The day a child struggled with our definition of normal. Then, the day that ended the competition for the worst day forever, the day my partner of forty years and one day died. After that there have been not good days, but that was the worst. I go back to the original scene. A little girl wanting to go out to play but needing to put on her pants first, and then the frustration of the fall. She did go play and had a wonderful time. I want to learn from that. I want to remember that when things may not be going my way, to put on my pants and go. The day will get better if my attitude does. Most times. Rather like laughing at myself when I locked myself out of my home!

ow many material possessions do we own? I can’t believe that this is all mine when I look at the boxes that drape my walls in the living room, the dining room, my bedroom and office. My daughter and her husband came from Alberta to help sort, clean and pack. I could not have done it without them. Everything has to be packed and ready to go by Friday and I will make the big move to Alberta to be closer to my children who want to look after their elderly mother. I will miss very much living and be active in the Valley. I made many friends here and will keep in touch with my articles for awhile. It will be my link to Manitoba. I am very happy that people have volunteered to keep the music going. Making music is close to my heart. Music brings joy to hearts and peace to souls. David made music to kings to soften their hearts. He tells us to “make a joyful noise unto the Lord” (Psalm 100:1) and in Psalms 150 he tells us to praise the Lord with instruments. Sing to the Lord a new song this week.

Letters

You’ve outdone yourself this time

Over the last 30 years, I’ve read a lot of stupidity in Banner editorials, but you outdo yourself when you attack regulations (Help is on the way? Aug. 31 edition, Neepawa Banner & Press) You blast the fact that STARS cannot land at Neepawa hospital. The AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter is 54 ft. 8 in long and 45 ft. 3 in wide. The older Airbus BK117 is only slightly smaller. Take a tape measure to the hospital parking lot and be sure to allow a margin of safety. Just because someone on the highway refuses to sacrifice 10 seconds for safety, that’s no reason to sacrifice a STARS crew. I have no idea how waste disposal regulations got into the equation but I doubt you would find a professional pilot willing to take off or land through a flock of seagulls. Even a dense flock of sparrows can shut down a jet or turbine engine. Continued on page 17

Finally, a break in the A.J. Fryerson case Marvin Walsh had been hosting “Renderings with Raymond” for f ive weeks and the stress of manning the town’s only local talk show was becoming apparent. With Raymond away, the show was quickly becoming almost unbearable. Each day at 12:13 p.m., the first caller would be Leon Willis. “Marvin, when is Raymond coming back?” Leon would whine into the phone. For the first couple of weeks, Marvin did his best to assure Leon, as well as other listeners, Cooper was doing just fine. He was recuperating from the pressures of managing the Valley’s “only real news center” while running for mayor at the same time. “Raymond Cooper refuses to give you, his loyal fans, anything other than his absolute best!” Walsh would almost yell into the microphone. Additionally, Marvin had a farm to tend to, and not just any farm. Walsh’s farm was the second biggest in the county, and even with farmhands it was a full-time job to keep cows milked and egg baskets filled. This Friday’s show would be different, however. It began as usual with Celine Dion singing, “O Canada.” During a quick recap of local news, Valley residents were told there were “no new breaks” in the A.J. Fryerson story. There was something different in Marvin’s voice, however. He sounded peppier. The pace of his reading and the pitch of his voice had increased from previous shows. That’s when Marvin shared the “breaking news” with his listeners. “I won’t be taking calls during the first hour of our show today,” Walsh explained. “We have a very special guest with us.” Kelly Schmidt and the rest of the

customers at Caroline’s Beauty Salon quickly tried to guess who the special guest would be. “I’ll bet it’s Silver Tongue,” Kelly speculated.

Marvin was so excited, he sounded like a kid trying to hold in a secret. “There’s no need to keep you in suspense any longer,” Walsh told his listeners. “I have none other than our champion, Raymond Cooper, with me on the show.” You could almost hear a collective gasp as folks throughout the Valley took in the news. “Let’s get right to it, Mayor . . . I mean, Raymond. What do you have to tell your fans?” “First, let me say how wonderful it is to be behind this microphone again,” Raymond said in a hushed voice. “I could feel the prayers and supplications of all my listeners rising up to heaven while I’ve been away.” After a dramatic pause, he continued. “I have two important announcements

Dismal weather certainly didn’t keep folks from participating in Neepawa’s Terry Fox Run this past Sunday. People steadily gathered at the NACI track to register and donate, seeking shelter from the rain, wind and cold in the open garage of the shack as they waited for the 2:00 p.m. runtime to draw near. Known cancer survivors were given balloons prior to the start time, where event organizer Dr. Kelly Krzyzaniak provided a refresher on the route and extended thanks to all who came to participate and provide support. The

survivors then released their balloons and the runners, walkers, and bikers began their 5k journey, stopping at the DQ checkpoint for a tasty treat. At this time, the rain had thankfully let up. Dr. Krzyzaniak sent in the results later that day, confirming the head count to be 50 in total, plus one fluffy canine companion. Funds raised from the pledge sheets, donations, merchandise sales and the BBQ held at Country Meadows for its residents, the local Terry Fox Run was able to raise $7,500 in Fox’s name this year. Dr. Krzyzaniak said “It was great to see so many out, even with the weather”.

‘Chase The Ace’ chased down RRSD New School Year 2018-2019 By Blair Gilmore Submitted

Submitted Rolling River School

The village of Kelwood has been gripped with ‘Chase the Ace’ fever that finally broke on September 15 when Kelwood Legion #50 P res ident L a r r y Henton was able to hand over a winning check. Rox a n ne L esa n ko of Dauphin was the lucky recipient of $34,297. When the Legion started their first ever ‘Chase the Ace’ just over a year ago with $100 up for grabs, no one in their wildest dreams imagined that it would come down to the final card in the deck or that the progressive lottery was going to grow so large. Funds raised will be shared between the Legion, the Kelwood Playground Committee, the Kelwood Skating Rink Committee, and the Riding Mountain Hall Committee. It was all hands on deck to keep up with the maximum capacity crowds over the last month. President Larry Henton wanted to thank everyone who came out to support the Legion and the fundraiser. ‘It has been good seeing the community coming out to socialize and have some fun down at the Legion.’ He said that with the structural collapse of the old skating rink and the loss of revenue from rink events, the Legion

A new school year is exciting, while the thought of summer coming to an end can be bittersweet. During the summer months maintenance and custodial staff have been painting and preparing our schools for a new school year, teaching staff have come in during the summer months to ready programs for the school year, and the buses are shiny and ready to transport students to school for a new school year. The Rolling River School Division began the school year with a 2-day professional development opportunity for all staff that focused on the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action by Niigaan Sinclair. The learning opportunity supports the R RSD 4 strategic plan priorities. This year RRSD will continue to focus efforts and work toward the goals in our 4 strategic plan priorities: •Mental health and Well Being •Cultural Proficiency •Literacy •Numeracy The 4 goals are interrelated, and improvement in one area positively

8 NEEPAWA BANNER & PRESS

By Cassandra Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

110 years ago, Tuesday, September 22, 1908 Canadian veterans of the South African campaign are organizing an association. Terrorists in Russia are again becoming active. In St. Petersburg 85 arrests were made in one day last week and a large quantity of bombs and dynamite seized. 100 years ago, Friday, September 20, 1918 T he Japa nese have captured a Russian naval base at Khabarovsk. A further draft of Western Canada soldiers has arrived in England. A peace note from Austria has been contemptuously rejected by all concerned. Great aerial activity is reported all along the western battlefront. One day’s record reads: “60 German planes brought down, with a loss of 16 British.” Evidence is accumulating in convincing quantity that the Bolsheviki government of Russia betrayed Britain and France to aid the German disorganization of Russia. War news this week has all been favorable to the democratic armies, who have advanced on all fronts. The British have got three miles nearer St. Quentin, taking 6,000 prisoners. French and Serbian troops have achieved further success in Albania, while British and Greek troops have made an important advance in Macedonia. The French took 3,000 prisoners. By indiscriminate sinking of Norwegian ships the commanders of German submarines have drowned 1, 8 0 0 non- combat a nt citizens of Norway. And still Norway is at “peace” with Germany. One of the cheering bits of news from the warring countries yesterday was the escape of J.D. Wark, of Franklin, from a German prison camp. 90 years ago, Friday, September 21, 1928 I mpr ison ment for debt is on the Alberta government’s legislative agenda for next session. Ontario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia have such a law.

Looking Back

1978: Some pumpkins...

80 years ago, Tuesday, September 23, 1938 A campaign has begun to oust Jews and Jewish interests from Ita l ian journalism. The German army has been ordered to refrain from hand-clapping because “it does not testify to soldierly conduct”. P resident Roosevelt asserted in a speech at Kingston, Ont., last week that the people of the United States “will not sit idly by if domination of Canadian soil is threatened by another empire.” Spa n ish I nsurgent dispatched report that 5,000 government militiamen have been captured and additional thousands killed as General Franco opened last week what apparently was a planned general offensive. Next year some 500,000 German Jews must add Israel or Sarah to their names. The government issued a decree requiring any Jews having a nonJewish name to adopt as an additional name, Israel if male and Sarah if female. Germany is speeding up fortifications. The shortage of labour is so great that mothers are urged to take posts in offices so men can be released for work strengthening the Reich. Italy has given Germany a free hand in Czechoslovakia while the Nazi promise to show renewed interest in backing Italy’s support of Franco in Spain.

70 years ago, September, 1948 D or ot hy L o a d e r, 20-year-old British girl from St. Giles, Wimborne, Dorset, England, who is making a transcontinental trip across Canada alone by bicycle, stopped off in Neepawa for a two-day rest last week. She was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Russell George here. 60 years ago, Tuesday, September 23, 1958 Members of the 4th Canadian Infantry Brigade are presently undergoing intensive f ield training exercises at the brigade concentration area at Sollan in Northern Germany. 50 years ago, Friday, September 20, 1968 Western Samoa will issue its first special Christmas stamp in October and the

design was provided by a local artist. The stamp will feature a Samoan study of Madonna and child with a fale (Samoan grass hut) in the background. The artist is Marilyn Onyschak, whose husband is a teacher at a Samoan College. They went there from Canada to teach under the Commonwealth Education Association scheme of co-operation. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Ohirko of Norgate, Man. When the idea of a Christmas stamp was put forward, the Director of the Post Office and Radio contacted the art master at Chanel College. Mrs. Onyschak, who has been painting for about two years, had her offering selected. In a brief ceremony recently, the Minister of Post Office and Radio, the Hon. Fa’alava’au Galu, presented Mrs. Onyschak with a cheque for $50 for her work. 40 years ago, Thursday, September 21, 1978 At H M K school in Neepawa, the pumpkins have company in the shape of sunflowers. Last year’s grade 3 students received two seeds each from their teachers Bob Bradley and Alice Moger last May. 30 years ago, Tuesday, September 20, 1988 The September meeting of the Amaranth Women’s Institute was on Tuesday at the New Horizon office. Kay Ander of Portage was the hostess. Eight members and one visitor answered the roll call P resident Cat her i ne Joh n s on c h a i r e d t he meet i ng. D ue to t he secretary being away Eva Thompson took down the minutes. A donat ion of $25 was sent to the Peace Garden Fountain Fund. An invitation was read from Child and Family services inviting the WI to a dessert party on Sept. 20 to honour present and former volunteers. The MacGregor seminar to be held Sept. 26 was mentioned. Tickets on the pumpkin Kay Ander brought were sold and raffled. The winner was E. Thompson. The hostess gift was won by Della. There were 37 sick calls made. A daintie lunch was

A message from your Mayor Adrian de Groot It’s been four years since first elected to the position of Mayor for Neepawa. These years have been challenging and rewarding. The Challenge has been the rapid growth of our community with the major expansion of industry, population growth and the many problems that come with such a rapid change. My focus, as your resident mayor, is on our future as a community. I will work on your behalf with a progressive Council and Administration, setting the foundations for our future. Our strategic plan identifies four pillars and that will be used as the foundation for my re-election platform on October 24, 2018. As residents of the Town of Neepawa it is important that we elect a Mayor and Councillors that embrace the needs and aspirations of our residents including neighbours in our surrounding communities. Foundational Pillars: 1. Well Managed Growth – as your Mayor I will continue support the expansion of our water and sewer networks to ensure openings for development ready construction opportunities. Well managed growth is about continuing to seek out prospects for not only new expansion but also providing services to areas of Neepawa are without services or partial services. With additional potable water capacity and our treatment facility (lagoon) project, we will be positioned for sustainable growth well into the future. I will continue to work in close partnership with those willing communities that boarder Neepawa to ensure that growth opportunities are managed fairly and equitably. 2. Sustainable Infrastructure – it is important to elect a Mayor who is knowledgeable about the full aspects of municipal asset management. As your Mayor I will continue to work with the Federal and Provincial governments to ensure that Neepawa stays in the forefront of knowledge (programs and technology) dissemination and funding opportunities tied to various infrastructure initiatives. Of primary importance is for us to develop a comprehensive assessment and prioritization tool for existing infrastructure. Council has requested on numerous occasions for a street replacement plan and we need to commit to developing such a plan in order to be reflected in the short to long term budgeting process. 3. Economic Prosperity – as your Mayor I cannot promise economic prosperity however, I will stay committed to ensure that the burden of unfair agreements, policies, and other forms of shifting costs to residents of Neepawa is safeguarded. It has long been noted that industrial / business growth is preferred to residential expansion. Therefore, I will stay committed to supporting those initiatives that seeks opportunities for diversity in our economic base. We need to explore new avenues that may provide opportunities for change. I acknowledge that change is not always easy to embrace however, through engagement and empowerment we must work together for our future. 4. Fiscal Responsibility –As a long-term planner we are working with administration on developing a more narrative budget that not only meets legislative requirements for five-year capital planning, but one that reaches into the future. As your Mayor I will continue to press for a more understandable budget that helps residents identify the projects or initiatives (road repair) within each budgeting year. Quality of life is important to the residents of Neepawa. Managing budget revenues and expenditures is a significant task to ensure that all aspects are taken into consideration; future as well as meeting todays needs. The level of service provided to our residents primarily comes through the budget however, there is also an element of services and respect that needs to be part of the balance. A small example: P Enhance and expand active transportation networks. o Bike trails for both family and more challenging sections for off-trail riding. o Extend Veterans Walk from Dominion Road to Park Lake Road. o Paved walkways/trails for ease and multiple use c/w charging stations for powered scooters. P Arts and entertainment. o Covered amphitheater or band shell for concerts and special events. o Electronic billboard to advertise events and special attractions. o Iconic figurines that display our cultural diversity and historical past. P An avenue to provide feedback and input. o Town hall style meetings for ideas as to your vision and priorities. o Continue to improve surveys for budgeting and planning purposes. o Build capacity through engagement and empowerment.

I live in this community, work in this community, worship and join community activities. I chose this community; therefore, I will continue; to do my best, represent Neepawa as ambassador and advocate, face to the future should you re-elect me as your Mayor on

October 24th 2018.

Right: It’s not quite a circus without comedy! This circus comedian took to the ring with his trick performing puppy, much to the amusement of children and adults alike. The comedian also juggled a ball of light, and gave out balloons to those in the audience who showed off their dance moves. PHOTOS BY CASSANDRA WEHRHAHN

Neepawa Natives ready to start season

SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

The silver and black is back!

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press The prelude to the regular season has come to a close for the Neepawa Natives. For the past three weeks, the junior “A” squad’s schedule has been quite busy, with the combination of training camp and a half-dozen exhibition games. With those now out of the way, Natives head coach/GM Dustin Howden said they are all focused on the start of the real games. “Everyone that is left in [the Natives] dressing room is very excited about what’s to come. They’re looking forward to beginning the season. We worked on a few things in practice over the past few weeks to prepare, so everyone is feeling optimistic heading into the games that matter,” stated Howden. The Natives closed out their six-game pre-season with a record of 3-3-0. Howden noted that over the course of the exhibition schedule, many of the team’s long-term prospects played some significant time. He noted there was purpose behind that decision as they wanted to see exactly how the young talent would adapt to pressure. Heading into the first game of the regular season, Neepawa will have 25 players (15 forwards, 7 defense and 3 goaltenders) on the depth chart. It’ll likely have to rely on its youth as only three 20-year-olds will suit up for the club to start the year. Howden said this year’s club will have speed to spare on both sides of the puck. “We’ll be a very mobile team this year. There is alot of speed up front, similar to what we had last season. To go with that though, I feel as though our blue line has also improved and will be quite mobile as well. With speed on both sides of the puck, we’re going to have a very balanced approach.” The club’s focus this past week has turned towards the first game of the regular season, a showdown with the Winkler Flyers at the Yellowhead Centre. Neepawa has already played Winkler in a pair of pre-season games, both losses. The Natives will be searching for a bit of redemption out of this upcoming matchup, The start time for the Natives game against the Flyers on Friday, Sept. 21 is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., in Winkler. The next night, those two teams will clash once again, this time at the Yellowhead Centre. The opening faceoff for that contest is also scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Neepawa Banner & Press

To help commemorate their 30th year in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), the Neepawa Natives are going back to a look that harkens back to their first year. The junior “A” club has confirmed that the team colours for the 2018-2019 season will be silver, black and white. The style of sweater will also be altered to match the NHL’s Los

Angeles Kings. From 19891999, the Natives wore the L.A. Kings style sweaters, before converting to the Chicago Blackhawk style, which has been used in some variation since. Neepawa Natives marketing director Robby Moar said the club wanted to make their 30th season in the MJHL something special for both the players who will wear the colours, and the fans who have fond memories of their use in Neepawa’s early days.

advice for a healthier lifestyle

Tension Headaches

By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor

Like most chiropractic offices, headaches are the fourth most common condition to visit our office. The most common form being the tension type headache. Tension type headaches are the most common occurring type of primary headaches, making up 90 per cent of all headaches. The pain can radiate from the neck, back, eyes, and other muscle groups of the body. These types of headaches are described as dull and achy, feeling like a vice is tightening

around the head. A feeling of increased pressure is felt usually on both sides of the head with the intensity varying from mild to moderate. The frequency of these headaches can range from only hours to chronic headaches lasting for years. Most commonly these headaches last for 4 to 6 hours. They are different from migraine headaches because there is rarely nausea, visual disturbance, photophobia, vomiting, or facial numbness. Also migraine headaches usually occur on one side of the head, often over the eye. Studies show that 50per cent of the people

suffering from tension type headaches state that hunger and stress are their main triggers. Tension from clenching the jaw muscles and tightening the shoulder and neck muscles is a side effect from the stress response as well as sleep disturbance. Hunger causes low sugars for the brain; a state called hypoglycemia, and is another cause of headaches. Poor posture is another very common cause. The computer world that we live in can cause chronic muscular strain and therefore pain. Prolonged sitting when driving can cause the neck and shoulder musculature to tighten and

cause headaches. Analgesics and antiinflammatory based medications help tension headaches. Many studies show that chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, and manual therapy also help relieve symptoms of tension headaches. Most importantly one needs to get a good sleep, manage stress, eat regularly, and watch their posture. All of these tips and treatments can help relieve and eliminate tension type headaches.

On Tuesday, Sept. 18, Neepawa Town Council reviewed a conditional use request to allow 30 Gill Drive as a location to temporary keep and monitor the animals, until they can be found suitable homes. It will focus on housing stray cats, as the numbers of this variety of animal have grown tremendously over the past few years. The cats that will be kept there are already fixed and dewor med. They will be looked after by a group of volunteers. It’s

Obituary VALERIE JOAN BALLENDINE (nee: McAskill) Val had an endless amount of courage and determination and really wanted to live. Although she fought hard, on September 5, 2018 she passed away peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 75. Val was born on March 11, 1943 in the Gladstone Hospital. She was the fifth child of a family of nine born to Roderick and Vera McAskill and was educated in Gladstone. After finishing school she moved to Winnipeg and was employed by the T. Eaton Co. in the accounts department. In 1964 she married Garnet Mazer and they moved to Naniamo, BC and later to North Vancouver. It was there that she took a hairdressing course. When her marriage ended, she worked two jobs: doing hair and also became employed in the retail business - women's clothing. Val excelled in retail and soon was promoted to store manager. She was asked to move to several stores in Vancouver, then to Prince George and Calgary. While there, she opened new stores organizing merchandise and staff, often working endless hours. She decided to move back to Winnipeg to be closer to her family and she then managed stores in Winnipeg and Saskatoon commuting between the two cities. As she had the great ability to coordinate clothing and loved to decorate her stores and home, she really enjoyed helping her family and friends with these tasks. On September 7, 1982 she married Lionel Ballendine. Together they enjoyed their time at Morden's Meadows on Lake Winnipeg. They kept busy renovating two trailers there and also made some great friends which Val still kept in touch with. They also traveled throughout Canada and the USA. After retirement they settled in the rural area just outside of Gladstone. Val was semi-retired for the next few years working at the Gladstone Hospital, Third Crossing Manor and Riverside residence. She also spent many years working as the Building Manager for 110 Legion Place in Gladstone. Val was truly the middle child #5 of 9. She was meticulous, organized and the "bossy" one in the McAskill clan. She strongly believed in telling the truth and working hard and she never left a job incomplete often saying "let’s just get it done". She had a special love for animals and also for children. She kept every photo, card and letter from her nieces, nephews or any other children she knew. They were all placed neatly in frames, albums and some stored carefully in boxes. Val loved golfing, curling and did some bowling. She traveled to many tournaments with a group of golf friends and always talked about the fun they had

together. She was an ardent fan of the Winnipeg Jets and the Blue Bombers and did not miss watching a game until she became ill. She also loved gardening and had beautiful flowers in the summer and many houseplants she tended to. Val had many health issues starting with breast cancer in 1967, she overcame this disease. Years later she underwent genetic studies, at the request of her nieces, to discover that some family members are carriers of the BRCA gene that causes a predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. She diligently reported this to family members so that they could have genetic studies done and make plans to reduce the risk of these cancers developing. She was hoping to have a heart valve replacement but developed liver disease and finally kidney failure. Val was predeceased by her husband Lionel, her parents Rod and Vera; sister Lois Bellyou; brother Roddy McAskill; brothers-in-law Ken Ferguson and Bob Burchett and nephew Ian Revie Jr. She leaves to mourn her passing brother: Alan (Sharon) McAskill; sisters: Cheryl (Ian) Revie, Heather Burchett, Bobbie Ferguson, Verna (Bob) McClintock, Betty (Gordon) Cogar, and brother-in-law: Eldon Bellyou; 21 nieces and nephews and many great nieces and nephews as well as many friends. She had to leave behind her little dog Bella who has been her loyal companion since Lionel's passing and throughout her illness. The family would like to thank all the people that have been such a tremendous support to Val over the past year: Dr. Eva Berman-Wong, Dr. Mona Sonea, Dr. Stephen Wong, the staff at the Gladstone Medical Clinic, the Gladstone Lab, the Gladstone Pharmacy and the Gladstone Home Care Staff all who have gone above and beyond to show Val respect and kindness. The staff at the Gladstone Hospital, Portage and District Hospital and St Boniface Hospital - Internal Medicine and E5 staff for their care and support to Val and her family during a very difficult time. To Linda, Marg and Gwennie who took her shopping and for appointments, when family could not. We also have appreciated the support of her friends who called her and took her out for coffee and came to see her which meant the world to her. Quote: "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say - 'I used everything you gave me". Erma Bombeck In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Gladstone Curling Club, the Gladstone Golf Club or to a charity of one’s choice.

Letter to the editor

Continued from page 5 Then, like Don Quixote at a windmill, you proceed to attack medicare, harping as usual that we should be paying a small premium. In Ontario, that “small premium” is $900 a year, in Alberta, $1200 and in B.C. up to $2000. Out of reach on my pension. Pharmacare. You seem unaware that we have had a provincial plan since I was young enough to not need medication. But now, during the months when I pay my deductible, medication for my wife and self takes 25 percent of our monthly income. Needless to say, I greatly appreciate Pharmacare. A person very dear to me, being treated for cancer, was prescribed a weekly pill that cost $3,500 per pill. He took it for one year, $170,000 worth. Mr. Waddell, could you pay for that out of your pocket, or would we have to let you die? Tell me, Mr. Waddell, why do you so firmly believe that the top one percent, who own more than 50 per cent of the world’s assets, should not contribute financially to the well being of this world.

The must have kitchen remodel features Submitted Metro Creative Connection

Homeowners looking to renovate often see room for improvement in their kitchens and bathrooms. The National Association of Home Builder’s Remodeling Market Index Survey, which measures conditions in the remodeling market, indicates that, in 2015, the two most common remodeling jobs were bathroom remodels (81 per cent) and kitchen remodels (79 pe rcent). According to HGTV and Statistics Brain, a new kitchen remodel for a kitchen measuring 12 by 12 feet may cost homeowners anywhere from $17,000 to $37,000. Before investing so much into their remodeling projects, homeowners should think carefully about the features that will improve their time spent at home. When planning a kitchen renovation, homeowners may want to consider the following

upgrades to make the room more enjoyable while improving its functionality. Oversized sink Although high-efficiency dishwashers are popular, deep sinks to soak soup pots or woks are still useful. Deep sinks may be preferable to double sinks, especially for homeowners who use lots of kitchen tools when preparing meals. Soft-closing hinges When replacing cabinets (or just the hardware), consider installing softclosing hinges and slides on doors and drawers. These devices eliminate slamming and caught fingers, reducing noise and injuries in the kitchen. Foot-pedal water operation When outfitting a sink, think about foot controls, which are popular

in doctors’ offices and hospitals. Turning on the water with the tap of a foot can reduce the transfer of pathogens to faucets from hands during food preparation. These pedals also free up hands for other tasks.

Bottom’s up People likely spend more time raiding the refrigerator than the freezer on any given day. Rather than having to bend down to seek out that favorite flavor of Greek yogurt, choose a model with the fridge on top and freezer on the bottom, especially if anyone in the household has mobility issues. When shopping for refrigerators, French-door style units may offer even more access, making it easy for homeowners to slide fruit trays, sheet cakes and other large items into the fridge.

Appliance garages Architectural and design resource Houzz says that appliance garages are popular kitchen additions,

Neepawa continues to support Lindylou Several fundraisers move forward to assist cancer patient

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

Support continues to pour in for Lindylou Escabarte, who is currently facing a battle with breast cancer. Escabarte, who is originally from the Philippines, has been dealing with the cancer diagnosis without many of her immediate family by her side, as her mother, father and children still reside in their home country. Upon hearing about her situation, several local individuals and organizations have banded together to assist her. Flowers for Hope One of the most recent fundraising events that were held occurred at Knox Presbyterian Church in Neepawa. Flowers for Hope: An afternoon of painting was held on Sunday, Sept. 16. It involved participants learning the basic skills of painting on a canvas. In total, all 55 available tickets to the workshop were sold in advance, bringing in $1,100. An additional $100 was also brought in from cash donations. Sharon Soroka, event coordinator said the amount of involvement from the event was better than they could have hoped for. “To sell out the event like this, it’s simply tremendous. People were asking about how they could help and these offers of support for Lindylou have been not only from our community but from people in Brandon, in Rapid City,” Soroka said. “Lindylou is such a wonderful person with a strong faith. She’s always looking out for others and just so positive. It’s easy to see why so many are willing to do whatever they can to support her.”

More support from the business sector Local businesses also stepped up and offered their support. It’s Time Fashion & Gifts donated a $200 gift basket of items as a fundraising opportunity. It’s Time owner and operator Ineke Mack said it was a great success, as

$1,088 was brought in for donations. “Anyone who donated some money, no matter the amount, was put into the draw. People were so generous with their donations, it was awesome,” Mack said. “We had Lindylou pull the winning name on Monday, Sept. 17. She drew the

name Sharon McCreath, so [Sharon] won the gift basket.” As part of the It’s Time gift basket, Whitey’s Fitness and Body Shop donated a $75 gift certificate. That goes along with their own fundraising effort they held on Monday, Sept. 3, which raised $1,104.
