Voters in Neepawa will return to the polls a little bit earlier than expected, as Jodi Baker has resigned from Town Council.

Baker was first elected in October for a four-year term, but decided to step down in order to take the vacant position of Municipal Clerk in the Neepawa town office.

Neepawa mayor Adrian de Groot said there was an administra-tive vacancy be-cause of a recent re-signation. De Groot noted that vacancy was advertised and garnered over 30 applications, in-cluding Baker’s.

“Through the process of evalua-tion and interviews, our administration shortlisted a group of cand idates , which included Ms. Baker, who would go on to be selected for the position,” said de Groot. “The municipal act does not allow an employee [of the Town of Neepawa] to simultaneously hold a position on council. So, consequently a deci-sion had to be made to accept her resignation.”

De Groot noted that while it’s disappointing to lose Baker’s insight from around the council table, town administration is gaining a person with valuable experience, who should serve the community well in this new capacity.

As for the now vacant council chair, de Groot says a decision should be made soon on how to fill the position.

“We’re looking at the calendar, trying to schedule the right time for a by-election. Our electoral officer, who is also our CAO [Colleen Synchyshyn] will suggest a date to council to hold the by-election. We’ll likely have a date soon,” said de Groot. “I anticipate we’ll have a date on our next regular meeting of council [scheduled for Apr. 21].”

Clean up efforts on former CN property

PHOTO BY EOIN DEVEREUX

Clean up continued this past week on the former CN property in Neepawa. Debris that resulted from the controlled burn of two old fertilizer sheds was hauled away. Clean-up was done by P. Baker Backhoe and TAC Ventures as the burned material was sorted and dragged by a magnet to salvage the metal. Whatever unburned wood was left over was taken to the town burning pile east of Neepawa. The remaining fertilizer shed was sold and it’s expected to be moved away later in the season when road restrictions have lifted. At the Neepawa council meeting on Tuesday night a re-zoning by-law was passed that will match the new zoning up with the MMM Group recommended plan for the property that was approved by the previous council in 2013-14. Council has received some development proposals and may be making a decision in the near future.

This was the final of five mid week events commemorating Lent and included clergy from local churches, who delivered the homilies. These were : Rev. Kristin Wood (United Church), Father Mark Filip (St. Dominics Roman Catholic), Beth MacDonald (Calvary Chapel), Pastor Herb Cassells (First Baptist Church) and Gladys Anderson (Knox Presbyterian). Rev. Don Thompson of St. James said, “This year we announced a ‘free will’ offering to support different charities. Over $1,099 was raised and will benefit Primates World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) - Anglican Church of Canada, Home Hardware Fire Victims, Victoria Quilts for Cancer Patients, HMK project and Aid victims of Cyclone Pam in Vanatu.”

It’s thought that the sus-pect or suspects to the VCC theft, broke in through the kitchen entranceway. They then entered the office and took the cashbox. No other items were taken.

As for the Calvary Chap-el, access is thought to have been gained through

the back emergency door. A pair of filing cabinets

in the main office were damaged and cash was taken. No other items were taken from the premises.

At the time that the Neepawa Banner went to publication, RCMP were continuing to investigate these incidents.

In a recent article in The Win-nipeg Free Press, what may be a very innovative solution

is being applied to cases where children are at risk. It was re-ported that “Grand Rapids will turn parents – not children – out of troubled homes under a new child welfare policy to be adopt-ed on the northern Cree First Nation. By making the change, Misipawistik First Nation, a northern community of about 1,100 located 430 kilometres north of Winnipeg, becomes the second First Nation in Manitoba using a similar system to turn the tide on child apprehensions. Nisichawaysihk Cree Nation in Nelson House rolled out a policy of removing parents, not kids, from homes in 2002, resulting in a drop in child apprehensions.”

It makes a lot of sense. Why uproot the kids? It’s the parents that are likely the problem, even if it isn’t a self-inflicted problem. The children will be more likely to recover from the trauma, whatever it may be, or be safer from danger if the parents are out of the picture for a while. It’s very innovative. The kids get to stay in familiar surroundings, stay in their own school, sleep in their own beds and stay together with their siblings. The first three things don’t happen under the white man’s situation of seizing kids and placing them in foster homes or hotels. Keeping the siblings together often doesn’t happen either when kids are placed in foster homes.

When you think about it, it isn’t kids who are the problem, at least not when they are very young. The parents are the issue. The reasons will be varied. The problem may be related to alcohol and drugs. It may be a penchant for violent or stupid behaviour. It may be something

Across south-western Manitoba, rural medicine is changing. Most communities are desperately short of family physicians and many people have to travel out of town

to see a doctor. Some communities are seeing temporary or permanent closures of their emergency rooms because there aren’t enough staff to operate them. Rural medicine in changing and for many Manitobans, one thing is clear, we will be travelling further for health servi-ces.

The good news is that e m e r g e n c y medical ser-vices have been evolving and changing along with the changes in rural health care. In Neepawa, like in other communities, the ambulance used to be run by the local funeral home. Today, an ambulance, whether on the ground or in the air, looks a lot like a hospital. The EMS staff are trained to deal with all manner of medical emergency and have the tools at their finger tips treat trauma or keep a patient alive until until they can reach a medical facility.

It’s a good thing. While the NDP vowed to end hallway medicine, increasingly, Manitobans are subjected to highway medicine.

Emergency medical services have stepped in to fill the void left by staffing shortages at hospitals and we are in good hands. But there is a problem, unlike walking into your local hospital’s Emergency Room, an ambulance ride isn’t free.

Manitoba Health will only cover ambulance trips if they are medically-necessary inter-facility transports. This means that the ride is only covered if the patient is being transported be-tween designated health-care facilities for diagnostic tests or treatment, or from a more specialized level of care to another facility closer to home for rehabilitation or recovery. The prov-ince does cover air ambulance transfers, but the patient is still responsible for ground transportation.

According to the CBC, Manitobans pay the highest ambulance rates in the country. Their investigation showed that the most expensive flat rate fee, $530 a trip, was charged in the Prairie Mountain Health region. Winnipeg wasn’t far behind with a flat rate of $512 a trip.

In most other Canadian provinces, it costs less than $200 a trip, unless it’s especially long or the trip is deemed medically unnecessary. In Ontario, all medically necessary ambulance trips cost just $45. In Alberta, it costs $385 to be taken to hospital and $250 to be treated at the scene.

The high cost of ambulance trips has a direct impact on the treatment decisions made by Manitobans. People weigh the costs of that ambulance ride and many opt to find their own transportation. There are cases of parents receiving bills totalling more than $5,000 for ambulance trips for their sick child and in one case, an elderly Manitoba woman walked to the hospital in -40°C weather because the cost of an ambulance was too high.

While many Manitobans have private insurance plans that cover the cost of ambulance rides, the unemployed and the elderly don’t generally have this safety net. The cost burden falls most heavily on those whose who can least afford it.

The Manitoba government can’t fund all areas of health and even at a cost of $530 per trip, Manitobans aren’t shouldering the whole cost of their ambulance rides. But when rural Mani-tobans are being told that their emergency medical needs will increasingly be met by emergency medical services, this high cost is unacceptable. Medically necessary ambulance rides are an integral part of rural medicine and keeping Manitobans healthy. We all pay for health care in the province and when it comes to preventative medicine and positive outcomes in emergency situations, increased funding of ambulance trips is crucial.

The first few minutes of medical treatment or the ability to treat a worsening condition can mean the difference between life and death. In Canada, we shouldn’t be making these deci-sions for our loves ones or ourselves based solely on cost.

that the parents can’t help like physical or mental illness. The point is, it doesn’t matter on day one of an intervention. It’s the kid that need the front line protec-tion and leaving them in their own environment may be the best solution. Maybe the house needs to be cleaned up and maybe it needs some immediate repairs but nonetheless, leaving the kids in their own home environment looks like a really good idea.

Having seen some of the prob-lems that happen in homes and having had dozens of first hand reports over the years, I see that this system has a lot of merit. Again, the kids aren’t usually the problem, the parents are, so let’s fix the parents’ problems and not bring even more upheaval into the kids lives.

The other advantage of the “remove the parents model” is that it may well serve as a wake up call to the parents. They don’t get to stay in their familiar environment, they get their life shook up a bit and maybe that’s a good thing if the root problem is something that needs action on their part.

In the Free Press article, it indi-cates that this approach would only work on a First Nations community because the First Nations band owns the house and therefore has authority over who stays in their houses. I think that if kids are in genuine danger,

then it shouldn’t matter. When kids are in danger, authorities should be able to remove delin-quent parents and solutions can be provided as a follow up.

There is a danger and that rests in other first hand information that I have been offered. A few Child and Family Services work-ers are pretty dumb. Some appear to be jerks and are on a power trip. Not many, I’m sure but there is a risk. However, a “remove the parents” system is better than “seize the kids” model, again for all the above reasons.

It’s the kids that need protec-tion first and in their own home is the best place to get it. It’s also a lot easier to keep track of kids if you know for sure that a particular home is supposed to have a certain number of kids. Manitoba has a long history of murdered children to mark the downfalls of the current system.

Clearly, delinquent parents need help but that can come after the kids are safe. Parental help may take many forms from education, to dry-out, to money management and whole range of skill development.

I think that two of Manitoba’s First Nations need to be saluted for bringing a new approach to an old problem.

They should be encouraged and their approach needs to be looked at across the whole province.

Close encounters of the natural kind

quality of the food. Scientific studies are

now exploring every as-pect of daily life and sometimes the results are practical and sometimes astounding. The one that set me back to thinking shows that “praying over food changes the chemical properties.” So my beloved was really onto something deep. When presented with my cooking he often simply bowed his head and prayed, “Thank you Jesus for this good food.” I thought he was going for an attitude adjustment and he was really changing the content! “More things are wrought by prayer than

this world dreams of,” Al-fred, Lord Tennyson.

The jury isn’t in on this one, but my observation indicates the old adage, “three snows on a crow’s back,” may be incorrect. I have long cherished this promise. Once the crows have returned, according to folk lore, we will only have to endure three more snow falls. Now it isn’t defined what constitutes a snow. Does a skiff suffice? Does it mean the earth is once again completely covered with the white stuff? All I know is that I count each “snowfall” as a snow. And if my counting is correct, as of today, we have had the

to have some “fun” with the elk.

Most of the cows were on the south east side of the road. The bull, with about 10 cows was on the north west side of the road. He was desperately trying to get across the road, but the trucker kept cutting him off. Our bus driver backed off about half a kilometer, looked at me and said: “Keep an eye on what’s ahead. He may need witnesses if that bull suddenly takes after him.”

Fortunately, nothing happened. The truck-er backed off. The bull crossed the road and the world of nature returned to normal. I was wishing I had a camera with me that day. I would have loved to snap a few pictures of that herd of elk. I haven’t seen anything like that since.

This is one of many exhilarating experiences I have had since moving to Manitoba.

I still vividly remember the three herds of deer I saw on several occasions in the spring of 2000 as I made my way along Hwy 10 then through Rivers en route to Virden to conduct Sunday services. Then there was the time I was driving south from Dauphin through Riding Mountain National Park and came upon a huge bull moose standing with two feet on the road and two in the ditch. He was in a good mood that day (I think) so I got by him without incident.

But my most memorable encounter with nature hap-pened the evening Kathryn and I drove out to Clear Lake and came home on

Shortly after my arrival in Neepawa, I boarded a Greyhound bus

heading west. My destina-tion was Cariboo School of the Bible in Quesnel, BC; where I was invited to be a guest lecturer.

I left Neepawa at noon, arriving in Edmonton, AB the following morning and transferred to a second bus that took me to Prince George, BC. From there, a third bus took me to Quesnel.

Our route took us through Jasper National Park. About 10 km east of Jasper, we came across a rather large herd of elk—about 80 to 100 cows and one bull. Our driver took one look at the scene ahead of us and hit the brakes. I soon realized why he did this.

Ahead of us was a Trucker With Inappropri-ate Tendencies (a TWIT). He was driving a Ford F-250 4x4. The accessories on his truck indicated that he was a “hot shot” driver doing a delivery run to a customer west of Jasper. But on this day, he decided

When our f irst family was young the writings of

Corrie Ten Boom were popular. “The Hiding Place”, the story of a young woman and her family aiding people of the Jew-ish faith during the Nazi regime, was made into a movie. “God does not have problems. Only plans,” proclaimed Corrie Ten Boom when a clerical error allowed her to be released from a Nazi concentration camp one week before all women prisoners her age were executed. Amid the horrors of the time, faith shone.

The conditions were deplorable and the food inadequate and horrible. Corrie determined to give thanks for each and every morsel she received. A simple, “Thank you, Jesus, for this good food.” She sensed that her change in attitude improved the

Hwy 19. Our animal count that night was 17 rabbits, six elk, three bears, two deer, one stray Charolais market steer and dozens of crows. We plan to make the same trip several times this summer, hoping for similar sightings (except for the stray steer, of course).

We who live in south western Manitoba are surrounded by nature’s beauty. We have lakes, forests, prairies, wetlands and a desert—all within an hour’s drive of our homes. And if we pick a spot, stop and sit quietly for a while, some of the creatures who live near by might suddenly emerge from the shadows and come by to say “Hello.” So be sure to take a camera.

As you reflect on the beauty you see before you, remember this. God provides each living thing (plant and animal) with the food, clothing and shelter it needs for that day. He will do the same for you. Put your faith in him. He will never let you down.

three! Enough.Seriously though, there

are times in life when one must take thoughts and ideas that have been held dear, and hold them up to the harsh light of reality. Each day, life offers us a tip-ping point, an opportunity to change the way we think and act. A young home-maker is preparing a roast for the oven and her partner watches her laboriously cut the top two inches off and place the meat alongside the roast in the pan. Asked why, she replies, “That’s how my mother does it.” A little more questioning and it comes to light that is also how grandma does it. Why? She didn’t have a big enough roaster and had to cut the meat down to size.

How much of what we do and believe is simply rote? Set aside that which hinders or slows you down!

Have you noticed lately, and especially over the past few months, how the newspapers are publishing letters from our local Manitoba Conservative MPs? They are expounding on how the Federal government is making things better for the taxpayers; by keep-ing taxes low while investing in important projects in western Manitoba. Since 2006, the Conservative Government has saved the average Manitoba family approximately $3,600 in taxes every year, we are told.

In one sense, I appreciate it’s an election year and an opportune time to make catchy announcements; for what attracts voters attention better, than sav-ing money?

Yet, in another sense, to me, this is nothing more than a combination of rhetoric broadcasting propa-ganda and politics.

For instance: Does the taxpayer really benefit?When provinces are being short changed from

Ottawa's cashbox, they in turn download to the municipalities and also the public, by raising or including taxes on a multitude of services, (ie: PST, insurance policies, etc.) and in turn, municipalities, in order to keep and maintain their commitments need to increase their mill rates to compensate for the reduced revenue that they are being faced with.

So,the MPs can boast and brag all they like, but in the final analysis there is only the one taxpayer, you, so if there is a saving from the Federals, that saving will more than likely be gobbled up by the two remaining governments. It's basically a No-Win- Situation, in one pocket and out the other.John FefchakVirden, MB

Despite what you read in the media or see in news releases, we do not have three levels of government in Canada. We have a federal government and prov-incial governments. Their roles and responsibilities are set out in the constitution.

Provinces have off-loaded some responsibilities to municipalities for local governance of geographic areas. Over the past couple of decades, provinces have been downloading responsibilities to their municipalities without the funds to carry out those duties. That results in higher municipal taxation to cover the shortfall.

Let’s not be fooled. The ever-expanding list of service fees assessed by provincial and municipal governments is another form of tax. We expect our provinces to provide us with local infrastructure and services. We know there is a cost involved and that we will be taxed for the services we enjoy. Efforts to hide our real tax levels through various ploys are inane.

Cities are approaching the federal government for infrastructure money. Local infrastructure is a provincial responsibility. The federal government is responsible for infrastructure that links provinces or links Canada to other nations. If we fund local infrastructure through the federal government, we are hiding the true costs of running the provinces.

Our federal governments are helping in this shell game. Funding a portion of local infrastructure pro-jects looks good and may buy a vote or two. Without this largess we might enjoy a reduced federal tax. The federal government is robbing us to pay for what the provincial government is required to provide.

Consider what the added burden of three levels of bureaucracy is costing us. Applications have to be filed, reports have to be prepared and submitted. Projects have to be approved and monitored, not once, but three times over. We need to sort out who is taking care of what and minimize our costs. Our governance is so tangled up that it is almost impos-sible to hold anyone accountable for poor results. Politicians may love it, but we don’t have to. John FeldstedWinnipeg, MB

Sauerkraut – also known as “sour cabbage”, is finely cut cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. Nutritionally, it is a source of vitamins B, C and K and the fermen-tation process increas-ers the bioavailability of nutrients, making it even more nutritious than the original cabbage. It is low in calories and high in calcium and magnesium, and is a very good source of dietary fiber, folate, iron, potassium, copper and manganese.

Maca – a root belonging to the radish family, is most commonly available in powder form. Grown in the mountains of Peru and is also known as Peruvian ginseng. It is very popular as a supplement and food ingredient. Among the many nutritional benefits, it is used to boost your libido and increase endur-ance, at the same time balancing your hormones and increasing fertility. Relieves menstrual and menopausal issues. It alleviates cramps, body pain, hot flashes, anxiety, mood swings and depres-sion. Within days of using maca, your energy level may increase. It is known for increasing stamina and

many athletes take it for peak performance. If you find yourself tired all the time, try a small amount of maca, it could be exactly what you need for a boost!

Match Green Tea – Matcha means “rubbed or ground tea” and is the Japanese term for the precious powdered green tea, traditionally reserved for the Japanese Tea Cere-mony (Sado). The matcha tea plants are shaded from direct sunlight for about two to four weeks before harvest. This increases the chlorophyll and L-theanine (has nature’s highest source) content making for a smooth taste and a vibrant green color. Only the youngest and finest top leaves of the tea plant are used. Their stems and veins are removed and slowly granite stone ground into an ultra-fine, jewel green powder. It is the only form of tea in which the whole leaf is consumed, giving you 100 per cent of its powerful ar-senal of vitamins, mineral, antioxidants and amino acids, making matcha one of the healthiest bever-ages on earth. To match the potency found in a single serving of matcha, you would need to drink

at least 10 cups of brewed green tea.

Moringa – is one of nature’s most nutritious super foods because it is loaded with tons of nutri-ents and antioxidants and is considered a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids. Moringa supports the immune system, de-toxifies the body and im-proves mental clarity. Get a major boost by adding one teaspoon of moringa pow-der to smoothies, juices, salads dressings, yogurt, guacamole and more. It can be sprinkled on your meals once they have been pre-pared. It has a rich, nutty flavor that works well with everyday foods. Ounce for ounce, moringa powder contains: seven times the vitamin C in oranges, four times the beta carotene of carrots, three times the iron of spinach, four times as much calcium as milk, three times the potassium of bananas and even more fiber than oats! A 2006 study found that moringa lowered blood glucose levels in diabetics.

Almonds – are actually stone fruits related to cher-ries, plums and peaches. They are the only nut and one of the few proteins that

are alkaline forming. When your body is not alkaline enough, you risk osteo-porosis, poor immune function, low energy and weight gain. Although nuts are high in fat, frequent nut eaters are thinner on aver-age than those who do not consume nuts on a regular basis. Almonds have many health benefits, some of which are: they reduce risk of heart attacks, lower bad cholesterol, protect artery walls from damage, help to build strong bones and teeth, provide good brain function, nourish the nerv-ous system and lower the rise in blood sugar and insulin after meals.

Quinoa – the mother of all grains and the world’s most popular super food. It is essentially a “seed” which is prepared and eaten similarly to grain. There are three main types: red, white and black. It is loaded with protein, fiber and minerals but doesn’t contain any gluten. It is very high in minerals that most people don’t get enough of, especially magnesium, potassium, zinc and for women, iron.

Another hurdle has been cleared in the effort to redevelop the former C.N. Rail property in Nee-pawa. On Tuesday, Apr. 7, council approved second and third reading of a by-law to amend the zoning of the 42 acres near the intersection of Highways five and sixteen. The land has now been rezoned to allow for the construction of residential single family dwellings and commercial properties.

Mayor Adrian de Groot said council is very pleased to see progress on this en-deavour continue to move forward.

“It’s set in place the correct zoning, according to the required recommen-dations,” said de Groot. “That’s out of the way now and we can proceed to de-liberations with interested parties. That process is go-ing to be in camera because we are dealing with offers or potential offers for the property.”

The land, located on the north west portion of town, was purchased from Can-adian National Railways back in 2013. De Groot has previously confirmed that there are three interested parties who have seriously inquired about the land. He hopes to see a plan moving forward within the next few months.

The Neepawa Figure Skating Club had a very successful finish to the season with great showings at the last two competitions, as well as a fantastic ice show.

On Mar. 21 the three synchro teams competed at the 2015 Crocus Invitational Synchronized Skating Com-petition in Stonewall. The “Mini Ice Prec*Ice” team, consisting of Allison Beaumont, Ashley Bray, Zyrakate Bulusan, Ivory Gerring, Taylor Jakubowski, Ashley Laus, Alyssa Nadeau, Ashley Nadeau, Claire Nicholson, Lena Stadnyk, Makenna Sumner, Sarah Thomson, Sobi Walker and Dimitri Smith, won silver in the Beginner One event.

The middle team competed in the Beginner Two event and came home with a Bronze medal. That team con-sists of Kiana Gunnarson-Epp, Ida Holm, Katya Ivanets, Khrystyna Polyniak, Brooklyn Roe, Claire Scheper, Cor-delia Smith, Amber Wahoski, and Kyla Wahoski. “Ice Prec*Ice”, our elementary team, also had a great skate and came home with the bronze medal in their event.

“Ice Prec*Ice” consists of Jenna Beaumont, Brooklyn Chartrand, Lara Denbow, Kara Ellis, Karissa Ellis, Cecilie Holm, Allie Jakubowski, Hayley Lindsay, Simone Levas-seur and Claire Tomoniko. All three of the synchro teams are coached by Cynthia Chartrand and assisted by Kim Smith and Kelsey Ellis. Also competing in that competition were Neepawa’s Samantha Salmon, Emma Salmon and Kelsey Ellis. These three girls skate on Carberry’s Pre-Novice synchro team. This team skated to a silver medal.

NFSC also had a strong showing at the final singles competition of the season the weekend of Mar. 27-29 in Stony Mountain. Kiera Major earned a bronze rib-bon in the Star One category. Cordelia Smith earned a silver ribbon, Jenna Beaumont earned a bronze ribbon and Hayley Lindsay earned a bronze ribbon all in the Star Three category.

In the Star Four under 13 category, Karissa Ellis won a silver medal while Brooklyn Chartrand won a bronze

in the Star Five under 13 category. Neepawa was well represented on the podium for the Star Five over 13 event where Emma Salmon won gold and Kara Ellis won bronze. Hayley Lindsay also competed in the Star Improv event where she received a bronze ribbon.

In the Pre-Introductory Interpretive Event Flight B, Jenna Beaumont won a bronze medal with Karissa Ellis placing fourth. In Flight D of the same category Brooklyn Chartrand won gold while Hayley Lindsay had a personal best skate. In the Silver Interpretive event, Neepawa came out on top with Samantha Salmon winning the gold medal and Emma Salmon winning the silver medal. Kelsey Ellis and Bethany Bertholet also skated personal best skates in the same category. All these girls are coached by Cynthia Chartrand, Donalda Naismith and Kim Smith.

On Mar. 22, the club presented “Skating around the World” for its annual March ice show. From the little CanSkaters skating to songs from Australia, to the Rising Star group skating to “One Direction” from England to Sara Salmon’s very first solo all fans there were treated

to many great skating moments during the night. The Senior skaters enjoyed a ‘Canadian” theme while a

fan favourite was definitely Amy Todoruk and the Junior skaters performing to songs from Germany in their tutus.

In between these group performances there were many solos by the StarSkaters as well as our three synchro teams and two guest synchro teams from Carberry.

At the conclusion of the event, a few awards were pre-sented. CanSkater of the Year was presented to Zyrakate Bulusan and the CanSkate Champions were presented to Olivia Koscielny and Katie Mitchler. Heather Todoruk was presented flowers from the skating board on behalf of her many years of volunteer involvement with the club. Lastly, a special presentation was made to Amy Todoruk who is graduating this year. She was presented flowers for her dedication to skating throughout her many years of being involved with the club. NFSC wishes Amy the best of luck in her future endeavours. See you next year.

There is optimism building around the Neepawa Golf and Country Club for the upcoming season, as the executive board has released its spring report.

In the newsletter, which can be viewed on the club’s website, board president Danny Guillas noted that snow melt has already occurred and there have been no re-ports of spring flood damage so far. Guillas noted that this opens up the potential for an earlier spring start.

CPGA head golf professional for the Neepawa Golf and Country Club Landon Cameron concurred with that assessment and noted that if the weather cooperates it is feasible that the course could potentially open within

Neepawa inching closer to golf seasonthe next seven to 10 days. As for upgrades and repairs along the course, Guillas suggested that one area the grounds crew identified for special attention early in the year were the cart paths.

Floods and excessive rains over the past few seasons have taken a tremendous toll on the pathways and Guillas hopes that this year will allow for improvements to some of the perennial trouble spots.

The club’s winter rebuilding project has been com-pleted and focused on the eighth hole bridge. With those upgrades complete, it’s expected there will be for less confusion for players. It’s also expected to aid with the logistics of getting mower equipment to all parts of the golf course. Two mowers have also been purchased for the club for the upcoming season.

Continued from page 7The glycemic index is a measure of

how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels. It is known that foods high on the glycemic index can stimulate hunger and contribute to obesity. Quinoa’s glycemic index is around 53, which is considered low and is very high in fiber, more than twice as high as most grains. Quinoa has a subtle nutty flavor and goes very well with many foods, mixed in with ground turkey or beef or as a salad. It is very easy to incorporate it into your diet and can be ready in 15 to 20 minutes. Put two cups of water or broth in a pot, add a dash of salt and one cup quinoa. Boil 15 to 20 minutes and enjoy!

Hemp Hearts (shelled hemp seeds) – are one of nature’s perfect foods. This is one of the most potent foods available sup-porting optimal health and well-being, for life. Raw hemp provides numerous health benefits, including: weight loss, increased and sustained energy, rapid recovery from disease or injury, lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, reduced inflammation, improvement in circulation and immune system as well as natural

blood sugar control. Chia Seeds – are tiny black seeds from

the native South American plant Salvia Hispanica, which is related to the mint. Chia is the Mayan word for strength. De-spite their tiny size, they are among the most nutritious foods on the planet. They are loaded with fiber, protein, Omega -3 fatty acids and various micronutrients. Almost all of the carbohydrates in chia seeds are fiber which enables them to absorb 10 to 12 times their weight in water, becoming gel-like and expanding in your stomach which increases one’s feeling of fullness, slowing the absorp-tion of food helping to reduce your ap-petite. Chia seeds are 40 per cent fiber by weight which makes them one of the best sources of fiber. Chia seeds do not need to be ground like flax seeds, thus they are extremely easy to incorporate into our diets to dramatically boost the nutritional value. They are bland tasting so they can be added to almost any food. Because of their ability to absorb water and fat, they can be used to thicken sauces or as an egg substitute in recipes.

As you have read, it is very easy to

incorporate healthy foods into our diets, often just by simply adding an ingredient or two to what you are already eating or drinking! We have a wide variety of super foods plus so much more!

Here is a great recipe that is super nutri-tious and the kids will love! Try making patties and putting on the grill as well.

Baked Turkey Quinoa Spinach Meatballs

2 lbs ground turkey or ground beef1 cup cooked quinoa1 med onion, diced fine6 garlic cloves, minced1 cup chopped spinach leaves¼ teaspoon red chili flakes2 tablespoon’s low sodium soy sauce or

Worcestershire sauce1 tablespoon each: Italian seasoning, oregano and ground flaxSalt and pepper1 egg, beatenOptional: Try also adding some grated carrots

Preheat oven to 350 and spray your baking pan.

Mix well and form into meatballs or put in a muffin pan

Bake 35 minutes or until golden brown, rotating them ½ way through.

These freeze very well and are great to have on hand when there is no time to make a healthy supper.

With the arrival of warm-er weather, not only do we turn our attentions to outdoor activities, but so do our 4-legged friends. While fun and games preside, there are a few precautions you should be taking for your pets, particularly when it comes to parasites.

Ticks are usually located in grassy areas. Some tick species can transmit one or several diseases to your pet such as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis and

Erhlichiosis. In general, a tick needs to take a blood meal and remain attached for 48 hrs in order for the disease to be transmit-ted. Most tick preventive products are absorbed into the animals’ system so that when the tick feeds, it ingests the product and dies prior to transmitting the disease. Unfortunately, that means that the tick still needs to take a blood meal. Certain products also have a repellant fac-tor which can decrease the number of ticks on your pet.

While many of these

products work well they are not 100 per cent ef-fective. Consider this, if a dog walks through a tick nest there may be upwards of 3,000 ticks in that one region alone. Even with a product that is 98 per cent efficacious that still leaves about 60 ticks you may find. The nymph stage, which is about the size of the tip of your pen, is also responsible for disease transmission. These are obviously much more dif-ficult to see when checking your pet.

While Lyme disease can affect people, you cannot

acquire it from your pet. What it does mean if your pet has Lyme disease how-ever, is that you are in an at risk region and should take appropriate precau-tions yourself.

There is a Lyme vac-cine for dogs, but as aforementioned, ticks can transmit several diseases. As such, general tick pre-vention is important. In general, cats are usu-ally free of ticks given their grooming tendencies. Most tick products are also toxic to cats. If you are interested in tick preven-tion for your cat, contact

your local veterinarian for recommendations.

The environment also serves as a reservoir for a variety of roundworms. Anywhere an animal can walk, sniff and defecate is an opportunity to con-tract or shed roundworm parasites. These organisms are microscopic therefor impossible to avoid. Many people think their animals are parasite free because they do not “look like they have worms”. In order for an animal to appear un-thrifty and do poorly as a result of parasites, the burden has to be marked.

All too often I see healthy appearing puppies and kit-tens coughing up worms, or adult animals passing worms in their stool as a result of infection. We cannot prevent our pets from acquiring parasites. The goal is instead to minimize their burden, transmission and shed-ding of parasites into the environment through monthly deworming. Cer-tain roundworms can also be transmitted to people resulting in some terrible infections.

On April 3, very slippery conditions lead to a crash in Minnedosa. No one was injured.

Less than optimal road conditions has been blamed for a single vehicle accident in Minnedosa on the Easter long weekend.

According to RCMP, the crash occurred on Friday, Apr. 3 at around 1:00 pm, along the intersection of Third Avenue S.W. and first Street. S.W., near the municipal court house.

The initial investigation suggested that the vehicle hit an ice patch and slid into a barrier along a water drainage system. While both the car and the bar-rier were damaged, the driver was not injured. The crash has been deemed accidental.

After an extended per-iods of planning and con-struction, Rocky Mountain Equipment in Neepawa is finally in its new location. The machinery dealership has shifted from its tem-porary venue on Mountain Avenue into a new 26,400 square-foot building lo-cated near Highway 16 in the town’s industrial park. The business began operating out of the multi-million dollar facility on Monday, Apr. 6, although

able rollers and are able to move back and forth. It’s those types of little things that have been thought of as a means to optimize the space and what we can do with it. This also allows us to stock a lot more parts now obviously.”

The improvements and innovations are not just in place on the showroom, as the garage area features a pair of fully equipped 10 tonne overhead cranes, enabling easier service for all farm machinery. As well, there are seven drive through bays and a wash bay.

Compton closed the tour by adding that everyone is

optimistic about the new building and the positive effects it will have locally.

“First from the job per-spective, we’ll have three [new] service tech pos-itions in the budget for this current year and we’ll be looking at another parts position, as well. We will also look to fill a vacant sales role, so there are some new jobs being cre-ated, which is good for us as a business and, I think good for the community.” said Compton. “And an investment like this shows that [RME] is committed to Neepawa and the sur-rounding area for years to come.”

a more formal grand open-ing celebration is expected to take place later in the spring

On Tuesday, RME branch sales manager Shawn Compton gave staff with the Neepawa Banner an extensive tour of the facil-ity. Compton noted that while the past few months have been a bit stressful for everyone involved, the staff have been able to deal with the challenges very well, which made this latest transition as seamless as possible.

“It’s been a hard few

months for the staff, with the shift to the tempor-ary location [on Mountain Avenue.] and then moving once again here. I’ve been very impressed with our employees and how they’ve handled the situation,” said Compton.

Compton noted there’s still a fair amount of work being done to get the floor stock in place, but day by day, it is getting closer to looking exactly as they’d like it to be. He added that despite having some more work to do on the main floor, the early response

has been very positive from both the staff and customers.

“Basically, the initial reaction has been ‘Wow, this place is huge.’ This new space does give us the room to do things that we couldn’t in the past. We’re able to stock a lot more products, more parts. This space is really key to what we want to do moving for-ward,” said Compton. “For parts storage, we have at least double the available space we had at the original building. The parts shelves are also on tracks and mov-

Sidney SmithApril 11, 2011

As I walk alone my darling,my eyes fill with tears.

The days are so long and lonely,

the nights seem like endless years.

I miss you so much dear Sid,since God did us part.But your love will live

forever,forever in my heart.

Some day in heaven I’ll find you,

this I must believe.For God in his mercy has

promised,“ask and you shall receive”.

As I walk alone, dear Sidney,the sun is shining above.

I realize what kept me going,was your endless years

of love.I’ll never walk alone dear,your love is in my heart.

Your loving wife,Dorothy “Dot"

In 1996, he retired to the community of Neepawa, where he became a very active member of the community. He especially enjoyed golfing, attending Neepawa Natives hockey games, and spending time with his family, many special friends and neighbours. Cliff loved listening to music and found much enjoyment in playing his guitar.In retirement, Cliff loved to travel in his motorhome, spending many winters with Kay in Arizona. Of all the places they travelled together, Cliff held a very special place in his heart for Maui. This was Cliff's “paradise”, a place to relax, enjoy life and create many precious memories with Kay, family and friends.Cliff was known for his quiet, gentle, loving nature. He was always eager to help others and willing to share his wisdom and knowledge. He loved to spend time with his family and especially treasured the time he shared with his grandchildren.Our family is very grateful for the wonderful care Cliff received from Dr. Wiebe and all the caring staff at the Neepawa Hospital, as well as the dedicated staff at Cancer Care Manitoba. We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support we have received from family, friends and the community.

Continued from page 14In particular, the young who play in

the dirt and the immunocompromised are at risk.

Tapeworms are generally a problem we see in cats who are hunting. They look like tiny rice segments, and may be dried up and attached to the hair at the back of their legs. Dogs that are susceptible to tapeworms are those living on the farm with access to carrion and other animal parts. Tapeworms are also associated with fleas. So it is always a good idea to deworm dogs who have evidence of fleas.

Heartworm is transmitted by mosqui-toes. An infected mosquito transmits the disease when they take a blood meal. That parasite then invades the blood system and develops into an adult worm which resides in the heart. Heartworm is a terrible disease which can result in the death of an animal, and is very difficult

and expensive to treat. As such, routine prevention is recommended and more economical.

With climate change, we are seeing an increase in the number of diseases that may affect our pets largely due to the migration of parasites further west and north. There are several products avail-able to combat either one or all of these diseases thus protecting you, your pet and your family. I encourage you to contact your local veterinarian for recommenda-tions. Many over the counter products are incorrectly applied, potentially toxic to other animals, and therefore not as efficacious. Parasite control is a routine standard of care recommended by all veterinarians. For detailed information on parasite control the following websites are helpful: www.dogsandticks.com and the Companion Animal Parasite Council at www.capcvet.org

By Board of TrusteesBeautiful Plains school Division


15042MM01

The safety record of school buses in North America and the fact that statistically school buses are the safest means of transportation on all roads and highways is no coinci-dence. There are several reasons for this; one being the high manufacturing standards of school buses and ongoing improve-ments to them. However, much of the credit for this safety record must go to the people who maintain and drive these buses as well as the people that train, test and evaluate them. Due to the fact that 40 per cent of BPSD’s en-rolled students are trans-ported by bus, safety is a very high priority in the division.

In BPSD, there are school bus routes extending from the Assiniboine River in the south to the Village of Riding Mountain in the north. All bus drivers and spare drivers must attend one in-service day per year to review proper school bus operating practices, changes in regulations, medical and first aid train-ing and student behavior management techniques. Students, who are trans-ported by bus either on a daily basis or for field trips are trained and instructed in proper evacuation and ridership procedures twice a year.

All school buses are given a complete mech-anical inspection twice a year and minor inspec-tions are conducted at more frequent intervals. As well, school bus drivers do pre and post trip in-spections daily to observe the mechanical and safety equipment on the bus. The fleet is kept in top condi-tion due to the diligence of the staff at the bus garage as well as the drivers, in both the maintenance and operation of the buses.

The safety of students can also be maximized by the citizens of our com-munities knowing when it is appropriate to pass a bus. Statistically, 85 per cent of all school bus ac-cidents where students are injured occur during load-ing and/or unloading of students. In regards to this fact, please remember that it is illegal and dangerous to pass a school bus when its red lights are flashing and the stop sign is out.

School buses have been on Manitoba roads for dec-ades and have been very important to the educa-tion of our students. The buses are equipped with

lighted stop signs which the bus drivers put out when students are board-ing, exiting or crossing the road. There is a substantial penalty for drivers who

School bus safety pass a bus with the stop sign out. There is ample education on the radio, TV and in newspapers in re-gards to school bus safety. One would think that bus safety education is highly promoted and obeyed, yet alarming footage was dis-

covered this winter when a Winnipeg based company equipped 10 buses across the prairies with cameras. The footage revealed ve-hicles driving past stopped school buses when the stop sign was put out and the red lights were flashing

at an average rate of five times per bus per week. Over a four month period, 423 violations were caught on camera. This indicates that students were put at risk 423 times in four months (423 times in ap-proximately 100 school

days). In some cases cars passed vehicles which were already stopped behind the bus.

REMEMBER: When you are driving your vehicle and you see a big yellow school bus with the flash-ing stop sign out – stop!
