There was lots of action at the Minnedosa Rodeo last weekend. The Heartland Rodeo took place on Saturday and Sunday while a high school rodeo took place on Monday. On Sunday, the bulls proved to be a challenge for many of the competitors in the bull riding event. See more on page 16.

Highway 16. MIT recently informed Town administra-tion that there will be a slight delay to the planned road surfacing from the west junction of PTH 5 to just past the east junction of Highway 5. The reason for the scheduling holdup is due to existing work being done near Gladstone falling behind due to weather delays. An exact time for the work to begin was not given, but

MIT did stress that the delay will not be an extended one and that the upgrades are anticipated to start ‘any day.’ The province is covering the cost of the work. While these upgrades are occurring, there will be periods of time in which section of PTH 16 are reduced to one-lane traffic.

On July 29, the federal government announced $9 million in funding to expand the availability of rural high speed internet in the area. To delivery the service, the government will partner with Brandon-based NetSet Communica-tions on the construction of 16 new towers, which will reach 10,000 more area homes. The total cost of the project is expected to cost $25 million and be completed by June 2017.

Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette Member of Parliament Robert Sopuck, who announced the fund-

ing, said that the main fea-ture of these new towers will be their height. At 250 feet, they are twice as high as those currently being used. With the construc-tion of new, higher, towers, Sopuck said that some smaller, existing ones will be moved to bring service to dead spots.

Robbie Zetariuk, dir-ector of Marketing and Dealer Development for NetSet, said that the new towers will allow them to provide faster speeds than currently available. “NetSet communications is proud of our rural roots

and the ability of being able to provide fast, reliable, interference free Internet to the residents and busi-nesses of Manitoba…The speed and reliability of Internet has an impact on every person and com-munity from health care, education, agriculture, economic development to the simple joys of witness-ing a child take their first big step from around the world. Our sincere thanks to James Moore, Minister of Industry and the sup-port of our MP's across the province for making this project a reality,” he said.

Sopuck has made rural connectivity one of his areas of focus and said,

“[This] high-speed Internet announcement is great news for the Westman and Parkland areas of Manitoba. We live in an increasingly connected world where access to the internet is essential for par-ticipating in today’s digital economy. It helps create jobs, realize economic op-portunities and links resi-dents and local businesses to online services as well as far-off family members and friends.”

Sopuck explained that NetSet was chosen after a formal request for pro-posals. He said that while some smaller companies also submitted proposals, they chose NetSet because

of its established presence throughout the area. “Ne-tSet had the capability to deliver across the entire constituency,” he said, adding that they were the ones that “connected all the dots”.

The funding is part of the Connecting Canadians pro-gram, which is backed by a $305-million commitment to connect an additional 280,000 households in rural and remote regions of the country to high-speed Internet services at min-imum speeds of 5 megabits per second (Mbps).

The towers will reach residents in the municipal-ities of: Archie, Benito, Bin-scarth, Birtle, Blanshard,

Bowsman, Clanwilliam, Erickson, Dauphin, Ellice, Ethelbert, Gilbert Plains, Gladstone, Glenella, Grand-view, Hamiota, Harrison-Park, Keeseekoowenin 61, Lakeview, Langford, Lansdowne, Lawrence, McCreary, Miniota, Mini-tonas, Minnedosa, Minto, Mossey River, Mountain, Neepawa, Ochre River, Odanah, Onanole, Rapid City, Roblin, Rosedale, Rossburn, Russell, Sandy Bay 5, Shellmouth-Boulton, Shell River, Hillsburg, Shoal Lake, Silver Creek, Strath-clair, Swan River, Wayway-seecappo FN, Westbourne and Winnipegosis.

Feds invest $9 million in rural high speed internet

The second phase of a major wastewater project in Neepawa has received new federal support. On Aug. 1, Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette Mem-ber of Parliament Robert Sopuck announced infra-structure projects in the Town of Neepawa and the Rural Municipalities of Mountain, Dauphin and Harrison Park that will receive funding through the New Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund.

For Neepawa, the money will go towards the second stage of construction and expansion for a trunk sewer line from the west junction of Highway 16 and Highway 5 West. The new line will detour the sewage flow from West-creek and the care home, which currently has to go through the town on Third Avenue. Highway 16 west of Fifth Avenue sewage will also be re-directed eventually to this new trunk line. As well, the line will have the capacity to serve the C.N. land and any possible development that will take place on Do-

minion Road south, such as the chicken barn land, should it ever be converted to housing.

The estimated cost of phase two is $2.3 million, which will be cost divided equally between the three levels of government. In November 2014, Neepawa received $400,000 from Ot-tawa for phase one, which involved the installation of a new trunk sewer to address high volumes of effluent experienced by the town. The provincial government and the Town each matched the contri-bution for a total of $1.2 million.

Mayor Adrian de Groot noted that this project is part of a larger plan for Neepawa to provide a re-liable waste solution for the community’s growing west end.

“It’s certainly something we value as a commun-ity. We were concerned last year, when we only received [support for only phase one], but now that we’ve received this addi-tional funding, that en-sures that the project, the whole project is a reality as it was envisioned right from the beginning,” said de Groot.

New federal funding for Neepawa wastewater project Secondary suites

Deputy mayor Isobel Jerema would like Town Council to enact regula-tions to legalize second-ary suites in Neepawa.

A secondary suite is a self-contained housing unit located within a permanent single family dwelling, or in an acces-sory building. The suite contains its own separate access, cooking, sleeping and sanitary facilities that are separate from and not shared with those of the principal dwelling.

Jerema noted that a lack of housing is a chal-lenge for Neepawa and area and that this option may assist in dealing with the situation. She added that it would also reduce liability to the homeowner, as it ensures a suite meets required fire, building and hous-ing standards under the

As part of the announce-ment, the R.M. of Mountain will construct a water res-ervoir to meet Manitoba Drinking Water Safety Act Regulations and will implement a new water treatment process to meet Federal Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality.

The R.M. of Dauphin will expand the existing G3 Water Cooperative regional public water sys-tem. Phase 1 of this project will include the construc-tion of approximately 99 household service con-nections and two pressure reducing stations in the municipality.

Using the existing water-lines, the municipality of Harrison Park will install a pump station and reser-voir in the community of Onanole.

A memo discussing the concept has been forwarded to council for consideration and debate under Planning and Com-munity Development. If the concept is deemed to be in the best interest of the community, it could be brought to Town Council for a vote. There is no time line for when or if this this could be brought forward for an official vote.

Ellen Street sidewalkTown Council has ap-

proved the installation of a sidewalk on the north side of Ellen Street. The estimated cost of the work, which would stretch from Brown Avenue to Walker Avenue, is $15,823.50 for the construction and an additional $2,000 for the removal of trees. The old sidewalk was removed as part of the repaving of the road, which was done

“What’s the Big Idea?”Planning is underway

for a regional entre-preneurship event call “What’s the Big Idea?”. The Town is gearing up with sponsorship letters going out to support the day. Sponsors are need-ed to assist with event expenses and backing for local entrepreneurs who will pitch their busi-ness idea “Dragon’s Den” style. Additonal details on the event will released in the fall.

Neepawa will also make a submission to the EDAC Marketing Canada Awards of the “Land of Opportunity” brochure. The nation-ally recognized award program gives commun-ities an opportunity to showcase their market-ing excellence.

When Amandine Polain returned home to Belgium on July 25, she brought back more than a suitcase full of maple syrup. The Rotary exchange student brought home a year’s worth of memories, friend-ships and a newfound ap-preciation of Canada.

Polain comes from a Belgian city of 100,000 residents, near the French border. The 19-year-old wanted to see another country before going to university. “I wanted to do something different and I really wanted to see another country. But not as a tourist, [I wanted to] see it from the inside and live like the people,” she said.

A good atmosphereAs for why a Rotary

exchange? Polain explains, “I was interested in Rotary because everyone is volun-teering and you can really feel the atmosphere. The first time, when I went to the interview, they all took the time to meet me.” As for why she chose Canada, she explained, “I chose Canada because you have a really good reputation in Europe.”

The exchange offered a chance to learn about Canada. Before setting off,

Polain said that she knew very little about the coun-try, beyond that they used the Canadian dollar and spoke English. “I learned so much here,” she said.

The exchange lasted just less than a year, she arrived at the end of August 2014. Talking about the experi-ence of being an exchange student, Polain said, “It was a good experience; I achieved more than I thought, I learned so much and I did so many amazing things.”

During her time in Can-ada, Polain took part in Canadian activities includ-ing learning to ski and skate, as well as going fishing. She also went to the Rockies a couple of times, including a visit to Lake Louise and British Columbia. Polain was es-pecially happy to see the iconic Lake Louise. “I was so happy I made it there,” she said.

Polain praised the cama-raderie and sense of com-munity between the ex-change students and fact that Rotary works to make sure that the students talk to other participants, both before going and while they are away. Before going to Canada, Polain met, and befriended, a Canadian

girl who was on Rotary exchange in Belgium, and the club also arranged for her to meet previous par-ticipants. Once she arrived in Canada, the students took part in an orienta-tion weekend where they all met one another. They also all went on a trip together for two weeks in June. She added that the exchange programs a good opportunity to get involved in the club for the first time. “Here, I felt like I was part of the club. I knew what they were doing and I was able to take part,” she explained.

Diversity and spacePolain also got to repre-

sent Norway, along with a Norwegian exchange stu-dent, at Rotary sponsored Model UN in the spring.

As she reflects on her time in Canada, Polain talked about some of the differences between Nee-pawa and home. The first difference was the space. Her two host families, the Epps and the Tomonikos, both live in the country. This was a big difference from her living downtown in a European city. “Can-ada is so big, you have to drive everywhere. I didn’t know how big it was,” she explained.

The wildlife was also a highlight. “The wildlife here was amazing, I’m really fascinated by bears and wolves. I saw only two bears but I was really happy… I saw elk and deer.”

One of the things that surprised her about Can-ada was the diversity of cultures, including Men-

nonites, Hutterites and First Nations. “I really didn’t know anything about the [First Nations]. It was a big surprise for me to learn that they are there and they are their own cul-ture,” she explained.

Polain attended NACI and said that there were some big differences be-tween the countries when it comes to education. Going to school in Can-ada, she had the option of choosing her own classes, something that Belgian students can’t do. She also got to participate in school sports, another thing they don’t have in Belgium. She praised her Canadian teachers, saying, “They really want you to learn and succeed. They are willing to make effort to change the way they teach for you.”

In looking back at her host country, Polain said, “Canadians are definitely super nice… I met so many amazing people, I’m really

going to miss them. Every-one is so generous, not judgemental and always willing to help.” She did though notice one Can-adian particularity, the propensity to apologize. “[Canadians] Definitely apologize all the time, it’s so true, like the stereotype.

I’ve really started to apolo-gize all the time, and I’m like ‘I’m not even sorry’.” But, she added, “It’s nice, you really care about each other.”

As she prepared to head home, Polain said, “I won’t forget Canada.”

When it comes to the viability of rural Canada, one of the most important factors is connectivity. It can’t be underestimated.

Having access to high speed internet levels the playing field between rural and urban Canada. It gives farmers access to better information about markets and inputs. It gives rural chil-dren access to the techno-logical skills needed for to-day’s world. It brings edu-cation, both formal and informal, into rural homes. It allows rural businesses, both large and small, to work beyond their geographic area.

Since I moved to rural Manitoba nine years ago, accessibility has improved by leaps and bounds. Nine years ago, most small towns were well served by hardwired high speed internet, either though cable or telephone. But back then, you had two options if you lived out of town and wanted internet service: dial up or satellite. Neither of them were good. Dial up was brutally slow and satellite was expensive and offered limited high speed usage. Since then, the technology has improved dramatically and wireless internet, either by cell phone provid-ers or stand-alone companies, has brought reasonably afford-able high speed internet to many rural homes and businesses.

Over the next couple of years, new investments will bring high speed internet to many more rural homes.

Last week, local MP Robert Sopuck announced up to $9.9 million in funding to help Brandon-based NetSet Communi-cations make high speed internet available to nearly 48,000 homes. About 10,000 of these homes are in the Parkland/Westman region.

The funding will be used to put up 16 new towers. Stand-ing 250 feet tall, these towers are about twice as tall as those currently used and will provide better service in areas with variable elevation. The whole project is expected to cost $25 million.

The money is part of the federal government’s Connecting Canadians Programs, which is backed by a $305 million com-mitment to connect an additional 128,000 rural and remote households to high speed internet services.

I feel a little ambivalent about this– The federal government giving out millions to private corporations. But then again, it happens at the time. Governments routinely tender projects and put out request for proposals. The government doesn’t build our roads, they contract with an outside company. I have nothing against NetSet, I am actually a customer and having the service has made a big difference, but I still feel uncertain.

Do we want government doing the job themselves? In most cases, I would argue no.

Sopuck explained that NetSet’s proposal was chosen as theirs best met the requirements outlined in the RFP. He noted that they are a large player and could offer coverage throughout the constituency.

I think that overall, this is what we want from our govern-ments. A private corporation is underwriting most of the cost and by all accounts, the government has followed a fair and accepted process and chosen an established company. We don’t want to see our money spent, with no concrete result to show for it. We want to see an identifiable benefit when government money is invested on a project.

But at the end of the day, unlike roads, this service isn’t of benefit to all rural Manitobans, only those who pay to be customers of NetSet.

Should the government have built towers which could have been used by NetSet, or Rogers, or MTS, or a small company? Maybe. Would it have been the most efficient use of the money, generating the greatest benefit for the lowest price? Maybe not. Which do we want?

We are now into a federal election campaign. It will be a long campaign

and many people will wrinkle their nose at such a long cam-paign, we shouldn’t. We should be thankful. Compared to some countries where they don’t have fair elections or hold elections at all, we are a very well off country. Over the next number of weeks, people will get a chance to hear the leaders, hear the candidates and to decide how they want to vote. If you don’t vote, you have no reason to complain. It’s that simple. If you are going to complain about the government, then get out and vote. If you aren’t going to vote, then keep your mouth shut, you have no basis to speak.

If you are among those who figure your vote won’t count, then you don’t know history and you don’t know math. There have been many elections and many votes that turned on just a handful of votes, sometimes, as few as one to three votes. In 1999, a prominent Manitoba cabinet minister lost her seat by three votes. The winner went on to be a cabinet minster. In 2004, I lost a federal party nomination by less than 30 votes. I won a mayor election in 1998 by fewer than 25 votes. There have been many town council seats decided by less than five votes. Every vote counts.

This fall’s election will be good for the country. It will also be good for newspapers and I know some will be cynical about that. However, please understand that newspapers operate on very small margins. After wages, postage and printing, there isn’t a lot left to pay the heat and rent and make the debt payments. So, yes, newspapers like elections. We also like grand openings, special sales, festivals, rodeos and fairs. We work darned hard to get advertising so we can keep

our newspapers afloat. Watch the pages of The Banner over the next few weeks and you will see elec-tion stories and advertising that will help you make an informed decision.

I often hear the criticism that our politicians don’t do anything for us, that we never see them or hear from them. Then, when they show up at events, people accuse them of being out politicking. Politicians can’t seem to win in the arena of public opinion. If you think your politicians, be they school board, town councillors, MLAs or MPs, haven’t done any-thing for you, when was the last time you actually went and talked to one. Politicians are always ready to talk. Sometimes they even listen but you have to get off your butt and go see them. They may come to your door during a campaign but it will only be for a matter of minutes. Do you want to tell a politician something? Then go and see them. But be nice, be respectful. Why should anyone listen to you if you are going to be all nasty and mouthy?

You know their phone num-bers, you may even know where they live. You see them at social events or in the case of more local politicians, you see them occasionally at the coffee shop. Go talk to them. It’s a lot easier to sit in front of your computer or TV and whine and complain than it is to actually get out and make your opinion heard and known.

I have talked to prime min-isters, premiers, MPs, MLAs, councillors and school trustees. I have never had one ignore me. And yes, I have had some influ-ence. You can too.

In the two most recent an-nouncements about federal money for Neepawa’s new sewer project, they came about, in part, because I lobbied with the federal government. I did so when I was mayor and I have done so since. The project will be a huge step for Neepawa and it came about because some people in Neepawa, myself included, went after it and convinced the government that it was what was needed. That particular project isn’t a glamorous one, but if you can’t flush your toilet or drain your sink, that’s not glamorous either.

Sometimes, politics isn’t very glamorous. Getting out and cam-paigning is hard work, getting out to vote takes a commitment. But if people aren’t even willing to talk to politicians or aren’t even willing to vote, how sick is our society anyway?

Remember that when you get annoyed with an election cam-paign, election signs and adver-tising, suck it up folks. Elections are lot better than shooting at each other and that’s what they do in some countries. When you imagine our streets chattering with machine gun fire or you see blood dripping from a machete, the idea of the “annoyance” of an election will seem pretty good.

Turning the tide

I divide my day into inside and outside work. I am keeping caught up with the yard work, getting some extra small projects done. The half-hour I spend outside each morning is good for woman and beast. The dogs frolic and fight and get tired.

This week’s project was to fill a gaping hole at the south end of the yard. It has been there forever, a pole marking the depth so the unsuspecting mower of grass doesn’t get lost in it. I decided that two wheel-barrow loads of mole dirt a morning would slowly fill the hole and make the

yard look better. If I had a tractor with a front-end loader, it would have taken 10 minutes. If I had a truck, or trailer, it would have taken half an hour. But what I do have is a wheel-barrow and a shovel and it takes 20 minutes a day for four days. But it gets done. (One of the reasons I don’t go to the gym!)

Another day, my half-hour involves adjusting the single door to the north garage. It has been sticking for years, and last week, when I had my hands full and freed one hand to give a mighty shove, I missed the frame and smashed the

congregation. In my view, the people best qualified to provide counsel and encouragement to small, struggling congregations are neighboring congrega-tions who are facing similar challenges and have found ways to overcome them.

Facilitating such exchan-ges is neither difficult nor costly. All we need is a room with some tables, a working coffee maker, something to boil hot water for tea and lots of food. Then we just come together, sit around the tables and talk—just talk—no agenda, no ob-jectives, no business to discuss—just talk. Get to know each other. Celebrate your successes. Identify your challenges. Encourage each other and pray for each other. Work together for the benefit of all.

Second, denominational leaders need to trust those in local churches to serve

their members and com-munities as they see fit. In doing so, they need to reflect a devout faith that those who work at the grass roots level of church ministry will not knowingly or deliberately do anything that will damage the integ-rity and reputation of the larger organization.

But local congregations should not ignore input from denominational lead-ers. Regional leaders can (and should) raise regional issues and encourage lo-cal churches to join in regional initiatives to ad-dress them. National lead-ers can (and should) do the same with national issues. But the right of a local congregation to opt out of a regional or national initiative (especially if they can not afford to make the requested financial contri-bution) should always be respected.

For the past two weeks, I have tried to sum-marize the evolution

of organized religion in society. I have tried to do so in a balanced manner. As I said last week, I am not anti-denominational. I see much value in local congregations being part of a larger religious organ-ization.

But that value comes at a price—and the price is often loss of local auton-omy. And the challenge every denomination faces is balancing denomina-tional goals with local church priorities. I will not bore you with an extensive analysis of this issue. In-stead, I want to suggest two ways by which we can find a balance that preserves and strengthens the bonds that exist between local congregations and the denominations of which they are a part.

Our first priority must be to ensure that local congregations can survive and thrive in a rapidly changing society. How this is done (who gives the advice and what advice is given) will depend on the setting and needs of each

As I j ourneyed through the past week, I was amazed

at the signs of fall that are in the air. Yes, I said fall. I know that we are technically in the heart of summer, but the cool night air, the golden rod lining the roadsides and the ripened weed seeds belie that fact. It feels like the swallows are gathering to plot the perfect escape route. The tassels on the corn are turning from flow-ing blonde to crispy brown. The sun is settling in the west ever earlier.

I understand the prin-ciple of the shortening seasons. When I was 10, the three months of summer were 1/40 of my life, now the three months of sum-mer are closer to 1/280 of my life. No wonder the summer feels short! This summer has flowed in seamless lines.

These suggestions are based on a principle Jesus taught during his time on earth. He told us that lead-ers are to be servants. The higher one moves in an organizational structure, the more people he or she is to serve. In the church, the leaders exist to serve the people. When we violate that principle and create a system in which the people exist to serve the leaders, then the ability of the local congregation to function as a caring community is seriously impaired.

How do we build this servant spirit into organ-ized religion? The answer is “we” don’t; because “we” can’t. The spirit of servant-hood that creates a caring community lead by caring leaders is a gift from God. It is built on the foundation of love—God’s love—a love that he pours into us by his Holy Spirit and then asks us to share with everyone we meet.

That love (received and released) is the sign that identifies us as followers of Christ and enables all churches to survive and thrive despite the many challenges they may face.

glass. How much simpler to fix the door! And so I did. And repaired the gaping hole on the broken window. Some projects take time to get at, and some projects take time to get done.

My inside projects have seldom included food prep. I am keeping up with the basic need for cleanli-ness, sometimes doing a little more than required. But I have been sewing quilt tops. And a half-hour a day gets a fair piece done. And then there is my walking the dog time. It’s a half-hour walk plus travel time.

And so, at the end of the day, I can account for approximately two hours of my day! On a good day, I will get some reading and studying done, on a great day, I will add real people to the mix. And the days flow on.

The rodeo weekend in our town and in our family has a tradition of getting together and enjoying it. On the Saturday, we spent the day at the chariot

races and indulged ourselves in the specialty foods that are being sold at the fair. During a break in the races, the cameraman puts people in the stands on the spot and when they are shown on the big screen they have to kiss each other. The kisses are freely given, even in

front of hundreds of people.The thought occurred to me if we really are just as

free in sharing the gospel to those around us as we are in sharing a kiss with our spouses? Do we tell them that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)? Even though the “wages of sin is death” the “gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

Let us declare it freely and fearlessly what Christ has done for us as Paul states it in the letter to the Ephesians 6:20.

Listening to the media pundits, one would think that this is some horror visited on the public – the longest election period in (recent) history.

Amongst the changes that occur with a writ drop:• Political Parties, Electoral District Associations,

Candidates and Third Parties all have to track and re-port all campaign related expenses to Elections Canada.

• Third Parties have to register with Elections Canada and follow the Canada Elections Act limits on spending as do all other participants in the campaign.

• All participants planning to use telephone calling to electors will have to register with the Canadian Radio Television Commission (CRTC) and follow its rules on scripts, recordings and maintaining copies of material used in telephone calling.

• The NDP will lose its advantage of airing attack ads through its surrogate unions without declaring the expense.

• Unions will no longer be able to air attack ads with taxpayer subsidized union dues. (Union dues are de-ducted from gross income to arrive at taxable income. The income loss to Revenue Canada on untaxed union dues runs to hundreds of millions every year.)

• Millions of dollars in election expenses currently written off as pre-writ (and unreported) expenses will not continue. The playing field has been levelled.

• Expense limits will increase for political parties and candidates by 1/37 of the preliminary estimates for each day the election is called in advance of the 37 day normal writ period. The spending limits will almost double but our ability to raise funds will not. Campaigns will still run on money in the bank not on allowable limits.

• The longer campaign will give Elections Canada ample opportunity to recruit and train staff to properly run an election. One detriment to the usual five-week campaign is that EC staffs have been poorly trained and fail to follow EC rules and Elections Act. When I questioned the qualification of an elector, the Returning Office at that poll informed me that is was her job to ensure that as many people as possible voted – eligibil-ity rules by damned! We discovered during the 2011 election that Returning Officers were taking Advance Poll ballot boxes home at night for ‘safekeeping’.

The long writ period is a natural result of having a fixed election date. Everyone who cares knows that the election will be called according to the Canada Elections Act on the third Monday on October – the 19th day in 2015. That has resulted in unprecedented pre-writ activity and expense by all political parties, most candidates and ‘third-party’ advertisers.

The longest writ period in recent times was during the 39th General Election January 23rd, 2006. That election was precipitated by a non-confidence motion in late November 2005 causing the Martin government to fall and resulting in an election period that included the Christmas and New Year holidays and ran for 55 days. No one remembers that campaign fondly.

The current election call extends that writ period by about 21 days, or three weeks – hardly significant since the unofficial campaign has been underway since early June. Formally calling the election is not going to change electors. They are still going to complete their summer plans and vacations and return to get family members prepared for school or university in late August. Dropping an election writ is not going to change elector plans or make them interested in the election campaign. They will start paying atten-tion about mid-September when they are back into a fall routine. Campaign participants will be busy, but electors will not engage until the last six weeks of the campaign.

In past years, the visitation by the Prime Minister to the Governor General kicked off a process that resulted in a formal election period of 37 days (38 days including Election Day). With a fixed election date, the calculation is the reverse – requiring a writ drop date 37 days prior to Election Day. The lengthy pre-campaign efforts and spending are a natural result of a fixed election date. We need amendments to the Canada Elections Act to change the writ period to seven or eight weeks and strictly limit pre-writ (unofficial) campaigning. The current chaos is an outstanding example of how to alienate the electorate.John FeldstedWinnipeg, Man.

At 23 years old, many of us are still discovering our path, trying on dif-ferent hats until we find the one that best fits. It’s safe to say that few young adults are well established in their careers that age – which is what makes Samantha Hall’s story so intriguing. Hailing from Vancouver, Hall is headed for Manitoba this fall with appearances in Minnedosa and Gladstone as part of CWE Wrestling’s ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’ professional wrestling tour.

A second genera -tion wrestler, Samantha debuted in 2011 at the age of 19 and hit the road within weeks of her first match. Her young career has included a starring role on the reality TV series “World of Hurt” along-side WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper (who dubbed her with the ring name “Bambi”), tours on Mani-toba’s winter roads and the Atlantic Provinces, and even appearances in the United States. In 2012, she was selected as a finalist for the Rookie of the Year award by Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine and in 2013, she was ranked

Bambi’s coming to Gladstone, don’t let her doe eyes fool you

#46 in the world by the same publication.

Women’s professional wrestling hasn’t always enjoyed the same spotlight as their male counterparts.

Before the national syndi-cation of wrestling in 1984, successful lady grapplers were booked as special attractions, spending a week or two at a time in

each of about 30 wrestling territories across North America. Living out of a suitcase, they were never able to really set down roots anywhere, lest risk losing the appeal of their uniqueness and ability to draw the big crowds pro-moters expected when put-ting them on the marquee.

While women’s wrest-ling has been popular with audiences across the continent, it’s interesting to note that Manitoba was the last Province in the west to allow the ladies to compete. In 1948, a Cal-gary promoter proposed to bring the ladies matches to the city for the first time and was given permission to do so, with the condition imposed by the local fire chief that no seats would be permitted on the floor of the arena. While no such restriction had ever been in place for previous all male wrestling events or boxing shows, the media suggested that perhaps the restriction was to pre-vent close-up views of the performers, one of which was Helen Hild (mother of future WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase). Calgary finally opened work for the ladies in 1950. Manitoba didn’t change its stance until 1971.

For Samantha Hall, her life was destined to be spent on canvas – and not just the wrestling mat. As

a teen, she was an avid painter, even studying at the Emily Carr Art Insti-tute, specializing in both oil and acrylic on canvas. Her worked was even featured commercially in downtown venues in Vancouver. However, rec-ognizing the struggles for artists to secure a suitable living, she is creating art on canvas through a different avenue as one of the most sought after performers in the country. In four years, she has already logged more than 160 profes-sional matches. It’s safe to say, her art career is on hold for the time being.

There are eight ladies

in all competing on this tour including talent from California, Oregon, British Columbia, Alberta and Sas-katchewan. In assembling this diverse array of talent, CWE promoter Danny War-ren has selected only the cream of the crop.

The tour stops in Glad-stone on September 27 and in Minnedosa on September 28. For more information on the tour, contact the tour promoter at [email protected].

On Thursday, July 30, Country Meadows was fortunate to have a great evening of entertainment! Myra and Dave Bennet performed for the residents. The Bennets also brought their grandson Leyton Bennet (pictured), for a special performance for the PCH. Leyton, 12 years old, showcased his talent, playing the bagpipes. Leyton, from Portage La Prairie, is a member of the Lord Selkirk Robert Memorial Band. He, along with his band, are getting ready to compete at a world competition on August 15 in Glasgow, Scotland. The residents and staff at Country Meadows would like to thank the Bennet family for sharing their talents with us and wish Leyton all the best of luck in Scotland. Safe travels to you all in Scotland.

Neepawa hosting provincial golf championship

The best golfers from across Manitoba have gathered in Neepawa for the Rural Men’s Provincial Champion-ship. The event, which is scheduled for Aug 8-9, at the Neepawa Golf and Country Club (NGCC), will feature 42 competitors, divided into three different categories, the junior, senior and men’s divisions.

11 regional golfers with a club affiliation with NGCC have confirmed for the two day tournament. Those local participants include Kris Jacobsen, Jason McLaren, Mark Kerkowich, Austin Gwilt and Tyler Stewart, who will compete for the amateur championship. In the junior category, competitors include Chase Dusessoy, Braden Gillies, Daly Chartrand and Wiley Speiss from Neepawa, Joel Baron of Carberry and Derek Benson of McCreary.

This is the third time in four years Neepawa has been selected by Golf Manitoba to host a provincial champion-ship. NGCC previously was home to this event in 2012 and also hosted the Manitoba amateur championship in 2013.

Club pro and manager Landon Cameron noted that heading into the weekend, the course is in very good shape and should serve as a great challenge for the golfers.

“We always look forward to putting our course on display to the best players around. I think we will hold up well, this course allows you to be rewarded for good golf. The course is in excellent shape right now and I’m sure Golf Manitoba and the players will love it once again,” said Cameron.

An early three run homer by Matt Gunning helped to lead the Oak River Dodgers to a 9-8 win over the Brandon Mar-lins in game one of the best-of-seven Manitoba Senior Baseball League championship series.

The game, held on Tuesday, Aug 4, in Oak River, also featured solo home runs from Morgan Geekie and Dunc Pad-dock.

The Dodgers were able to take control early, lead-ing 8-0, after six innings. The Marlins battled back in the late innings how-ever, including scoring five runs in the top of the 9th to get within one run, but that was it, as the Dodgers held on to take a 1-0 series lead.

Pitcher Bryce Collins threw six shut out innings for Oak River and picked up the win while allowing just 2 hits and striking out 3. The Marlins Paul Thompson lasted just 3 2/3 innings on the mound, allowing five

runs on four hits while also walking four.

The Brandon Marlins were able to advance to the MSBL Final with a 10-3 victory on Wednesday, July 29, over the Neepawa Farmers. With the victory, the Marlins were able to claim the semi-final series 4 games to 2.

Tanner Jago provided all the offence the Marlins would need in the sixth and final game, as he went 3 for 5 and added 5 RBI. Eric Zamrykut also had 3 hits and chipped in a pair of RBI for the Marlins.

Mitch Lyall was the winning pitcher and the save was picked up by Jeff Wiebe who worked 4 shutout innings in re-lief. The Farmers started Brady Moxham but he struggled early, allowing 8 runs on 10 hits in just 1 1/3 innings. Travis Jean hit a HR and added 3 RBI for the Farmers offence.

The Oak River Dodg-ers meanwhile secured its place in the cham-pionship by topping the Brandon Cloverleafs in the best of seven series 4 game to one.
