There may have been no Lily Festival in Neepawa this year, but thanks to the efforts of local organ-izations and businesses, there was still lots to see and do. Last weekend, a loose collaboration of events offered something for everyone.

The activities kicked off on Thursday with a Mid Summer’s Eve in Neepawa, a shopping and dining event put on by Beyond the Garden Gate, Brews Brothers Bistro, Herbs for Health, It’s Time Fashion and Gifts and Kerreen’s Clothing. The participating businesses stayed open late, offering customers a chance to shop and dine into the night. There were also a number of in-store draws, sales and promotions, as well as a scavenger hunt, featuring Neepawa area attraction, to encourage customers to stop at all five businesses.

Mark Mitchell, of Brews Brothers, said that the event went extremely well. “It was one of our best days of the year,” he said. He said that they saw a mix of new and existing customers.

Maureen Turner, of Kerreen’s, said that it was

a fun day. Turner also took the occasion to celebrate the 15th anniversary of her business. “We [celebrated] with a great one day sale, a gift with purchase, a door prize draw and cake and iced tea for everyone!” she said. Turner added, “I think we are unique and very progressive in that we as independent local businesses can get together and execute a promotion such as this. We were pleased that so many people came out.”

Ginny Collins, of Beyond the Garden Gate, said that the event went really well. She said that the event was beneficial and added that with each ones, they build momentum.

It’s Time’s Ineke Mack also said that the event went really well. “It was nice to see so many people out,” she said. Mack said that she mostly saw local residents taking passing through her doors.

The group plans to con-tinue hosting these events at least twice a year.

On Saturday, the 15th annual Runway Drags, held at the Neepawa air-pot, offered lots of action. Yellowhead Roadrunners Auto Club president Bert

de Koning said that the event was “excellent”. He said that they attracted about 47 cars and between 400 and 500 spectators.

While the drag races of-fer spectators a chance to see lots of high perform-ance race cars, it’s not just about fast cars. The drag races are open to all cars, down to the family sedan. The goal is to offer driv-ers a chance to test out racing without needing a purpose-built race car.

To help create some more excitement, de Kon-ing explained that they held time trials in the morning and used those times to set the starts for the races. With each lane having its own start, those driving slower cars got a bit of a head start to make it closer at the finish line. “It’s more exciting for the racers and the crowd,” he explained, adding that it made the races more invit-ing for outside people to come and try.

De Koning said that they are planning to host the

There has been a lot going on at the Beautiful Plains Museum this past month! We had Krista Mills, Britney Weber, Zoey Black and Ariel Neufeld, four Brandon University (BU) Rural Museum Ar-chaeological Outreach students, examining our Aboriginal artifacts. The students are doing the work as a senior level “learning by experience” course under the super-vision of Dr. Mary Malainey from the BU Department of Anthropology and Mr. Gord Hill, who is the Manitoba Archaeological Society (MAS) Public Out-reach Coordinator. Their work is part of a project sponsored by BU, the MAS and the Association of Manitoba Museums. The students benefit by gain-ing hands-on, practical experience of examining, recording and providing information on artifacts, such as projectile points, heavy ground stone tools and pottery sherds, and the museum benefits by receiving detailed in-formation on each of our precontact period artifacts. In addition, the

data collected will provide Dr. Malainey and the MAS with information about the breadth and diversity of materials in the collections and gain more informa-tion about archaeological sites of Southwest Mani-toba. The most interesting artifact that the students examined was a possible Clovis point. Clovis points are the oldest pre-contact projectile point commonly found in North America and were used between 13,700-12,500 years ago. Clovis points are fairly rare due to the fact that most of Manitoba was covered by Glacial Lake Agassiz at this time. However, this area (and other re-gions along the Manitoba Escarpment) would have been at or near the edge of the lake, making it one of the few areas in Manitoba where it is possible to find a Clovis point. Most of the projectile points we have at the museum were found in the Neepawa area, this is because there was some-thing about our location that drew people to it, such as a water source, food source, water crossing, and/or meeting place. The Neepawa area was used by Aboriginals over a long period of time based on the

different forms of project-ile points found here. The students explained that when looking at projectile points from the oldest to the most recent “you can see the development and refinement of technique in how tools were made; from large points with large flakes removed, to smaller and more delicate [points] with finer flakes removed”. We are hoping to showcase our Aboriginal artifacts with the information the students have provided us next summer in a special display.

Here at the Beautiful Plains Museum we have also been busy with many projects over the last few months, and we have many organizations/people to thank for their help. Start-ing with our earliest pro-ject, the museum board members extend their thanks to TAC Ventures for the use of a dumpster during our spring renova-tions. The board members would also like to thank the Beautiful Plains Com-munity Foundation for their support in replacing the eaves troughs at the museum. Thank you to Safeway for their donation of hot dogs and buns for our hot dog sale in June,

and thank you to every-one who came out to our sale. Thanks to everyone’s support we cleared over $300 to go towards the maintenance of our old fire truck. Finally, thank you to Westward Ford for storing the fire truck overnight for one night in June.

We are still currently in the process of renovating the museum’s basement. The basement will be closed until next summer. Although the basement is closed, we still have lots to see, such as our new exhibit, “A Woman’s Work is Never Done”, which dis-plays the life of the house-wife from the late 1800’s to 1940’s. The museum is located at 91 Hamilton Street, in the former CNR station. Feel free to stop by anytime during our business hours (9am-5pm Monday to Friday, and 1pm-5pm Saturday, Sun-day and stat holidays), or call 204-476-3896 if you’d like to book a tour. I hope to see you at the Beautiful Plains Museum!

Provincial legislation requires the disabled park-ing permit to be displayed when a vehicle is parked in a disabled persons parking space, on the rear-view mirror, the sun-visor, or the dashboard in such a manner that it is clearly visible and legible from the outside of the vehicle.

It is recommended that you display the permit on the rear-view mirror of the vehicle unless you are physically unable to do so. In this location, the permit is most visible to the authorities who must read the permit number and expiry date to deter-

mine the validity of the permit and prevent abuse of the program. Failure to display the permit so that it is fully visible and legible from outside of the vehicle may result in a parking violation and fine. Operating a motor vehicle while the permit is displayed on the rear-view mirror is an offence under The Highway Traf-fic Act (obscured vision). Therefore, ensure that the permit is displayed only when parked.

As the permit holder, you may use the permit in any vehicle, whether you are the driver or a passen-ger. The permit is only to be used when the permit holder is in the vehicle.

As I sat in my office on Saturday July 25, 2015, it was a much different

July Saturday than the past 8-10 years. For most of those years, I was chairman of the Neepawa Area Lily Festival and I was in-volved for all 18 festivals.

The Lily Festival had become a signature event for Neepawa. It had 200 plus volunteers, a full time office and a part-time executive director. It was the go-to organization for events that handled Neepawa’s tourism out-reach, the Homes for Christmas event, a concert or two per year and oh yes, the world-renowned Lily Festival. It covered all or part of the advertising costs for a number of the festival weekend events including the parade, the quilt show and the lily show. It helped with advertising other events such as the Yellowhead Roadrunners Runway drags. It brought thousands of people to town.

At 11 a.m., the exact same time I sat in my office and started this column, on a Lily Festival weekend Saturday the town of Neepawa would have been packed with thousands of people watching the parade and then descending on the festival site and the restaurants.

But on this 2015 Saturday, all you hear is the occasional car going by and you could shoot a cannon down Neepawa’s main street and not hurt anyone.

That deserted street day I wrote, “The VCC JamFest is about to start and that’s a good thing. The Runway Drags are about to roar into life and tomorrow will be Sunday, July 25, and the Mar-garet Laurence Home Antique Sale is scheduled to happen at the Yellowhead Centre. What a major difference a year makes!”

Many people ask why the Lily Festival died? Actually, it didn’t die. It was murdered by a very small group of negative people, but that remains a matter of debate. But it’s done. It’s over, it’s finished.

But is it?Out of the still smouldering

ashes of the Neepawa Lily Festival, there arose some really positive efforts. Five downtown business-es actually got together and did what businesses are supposed to do. They invested planning, time and a bit of advertising money into the Mid-Summer’s Eve event which was small but very good. The Viscount Cultural Council built a permanent outdoor stage/patio and put on Jam Fest which was pretty low key but very enjoy-able. The YHRR continued with their annual runway races and a large crowd attended that event. The Margaret Laurence Home and VCC put on the annual antique sale and obviously without the Lily Festival crowd, their numbers were way down but it was still a good event. The Lily Nook put on a lily show and a lily sale on their site, it was very good. Next year will need more attention and more advertising and promotion, but these were all quality events.

It will take a lot of work to get summer events back to the size and excitement of the Lily Festival but it’s a good start.

So who carries the ball from here on in? Obviously it’s not the town council. It’s not really their job and quite frankly, getting town councillors out to events is like pulling teeth. Most of them were conspicuous by their ab-sence this past weekend. It’s not the town staff’s job to coordinate events either, although they have always been very co-operative with any community events. For this past weekend they helped by providing street barricades

and picnic benches. Year in and year out, the Town of Neepawa public works staff have always been more than helpful with the Lily Festival and any other com-munity events. It won’t likely be the Lily Festival committee as they are shutting down and winding up their books. The Lily Festival constitution states that when they shut down, the money goes to the Town of Neepawa.

What is starting to happen, and should happen, is a resurgence of pride and interest in summer events in Neepawa and we saw some evidence of that already this past weekend. Also earlier in the year, the Neepawa and District Chamber held a midway/fair event. On that same weekend, the Tangled Threads Quilt Guild held a quilt show and the Neepawa Wildlife Association held their first ever gun show.

If there’s one overriding lesson to be learned from the demise of the Lily Festival it is that a community should never allow negativity to be the driving force. Constructive criticism should be welcomed but the naysayers should have been told to paint or get off the ladder, to shove off in other words. Only positive people with positive ideas should be encouraged.

Neepawa turned a corner this year or maybe they hit bottom. We lost the festival, Canada Day was less than spectacular. Community events have been pretty low key around here lately but with the recent efforts by the chamber, the businesses, the VCC, the MLH, the YHRR and others, positive change will win the day.

Like hockey and maple syrup, universal health care is an iden-tifiable feature of Canada. The problem is that, unlike hockey and maple syrup, there are shortages within the health care

system that leave many people paying for services they can’t ac-cess. We aren’t just paying a little bit either. In 2015/2016, the province in planning to spend $6 billion on Health, roughly 38 per cent of the entire $15 billion budget.

While it may be relatively easy to attract physicians to work in large centres, that’s not the case for rural Canada. Most rural Can-adian commun-ities are in the same boat, there aren’t enough doctors to meet the community’s health needs.

According to the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada, towns with populations below 10,000 residents account for 22.2 per cent of the population, yet they are served by only 10.1 per cent of the country’s physicians.

Across Manitoba, recruitment is done by the regional health authorities and usually, new doctors are placed in the communities where there is the most acute need.

For many rural communities, the current model of recruitment just isn’t working. Increasingly, we need to become more proactive when it comes to meeting our residents’ health needs. We need to be more proactive at promoting the advantages of rural practice. We need to play an active role in ensuring the outcomes we want.

Within Prairie Mountain Health, there are 14 communities look-ing for one or more family physicians. Neepawa is one of the few communities not listed.

Next month, Neepawa will welcome a new physician, the com-munity’s seventh. The town is unique in that it has been successful not only at attracting physicians to the community, but attracting physicians who want to make the community their home. Many communities can keep their medical needs met on a short-term basis by international medical graduates (IMGs) who predominantly stay in rural communities just long enough to meet their require-ments to practice in Canada and then move elsewhere.

Neepawa finds itself in a relatively strong position, but it has been a long road. For years there has been a Neepawa and District Medical Committee, but close to a decade ago they began to get serious about doctor recruitment and retention and created a committee to focus entirely on this task.

What the committee found was that all of the town’s medical centres were physician owned. This was a problem because phys-icians looking at moving to the area didn’t want to own and man-age a building. They wanted to work with other doctors who could offer help and mentoring. To go out and recruit, the committee needed to guarantee that there was not only a place available for the doctors to work out of, but one that would be attractive to them.

In 2007, the committee pushed for the establishment of a community owned clinic. Through NADCO, the clinic owned by Dr. Chapman was purchased in 2008. Since then, the clinic has undergone a series of renovations and now has 15 examination rooms and can accommodate eight to 10 doctors.

In 2008, the committee also began advertising for physicians. Recruiting doctors is a multiyear process. Even with the clinic,

it took until April 2010, before a new physician began practicing in Neepawa. In 2010, two new doctors, Dr Nasralla and Dr. Tariq, came to Neepawa. The next year, Dr. Milligan. Dr. Milligan was a long-term recruit who first found out about the community dur-ing Rural Week, an event for first year medical students in which Neepawa takes part. Never mind attracting prospective doctors who are still in school, even with internationally educated doctors, it can take 12 to 18 months before they are actually practicing in a community.

Communities don’t necessarily need to become active recruit-ers, but they should at least understand what makes physicians come, what makes them stay and what their community has to offer. Communities can help make their own success by looking critically at what they can offer and how they are falling short.

neil stRohschein

When organization replaces organism, part two

there are so many differing opinions about what this community, this country, our world needs, that in the end, elected officials have to follow the party line. It doesn’t seem to matter what we say.

Among my circle of acquaintances, there are several individuals that listen exceptionally well. Whether we meet on pass-ing or on purpose, I know that I am being heard. That my words are being processed and assessed. Someone is, for that par-ticular moment, listening. Ed’s standard response to the question we all ask when greeting someone –

“how are you”, or “how are you doing?” was “no good”. Too many people had in-quired as to how he was do-ing and blithely continued with their agenda to bother to listen to his reply. I will add that that comment became his trademark, and a twinkling eye often accompanied it. But we all know people who do just that. Ask how we are and never listen for an answer.

One man I knew could pass through a crowd handing out handshakes and the standard question as to your well-being, and never pause or hear a single answer!

Listening involves silen-

us. With this variety comes competition—competition for followers and for funds.

But we don’t call it com-petition. We use terms that make our activities sound very spiritual. We say we are doing outreach, grow-ing the church or doing missionary work in our community.

Those on the inside, those who grew up in the church, see nothing wrong with these terms. But those who know very little about organized religion and even less about God see our activities as competi-tion for followers and funds. So we should not be surprised when our efforts are resisted.

The above notwithstand-ing; religious organiza-tions (denominations) do fill an important role in Canada. The services they offer enable local congre-gations to own buildings, issue tax receipts for dona-tions, hire qualified staff

and access high quality resources for worship, edu-cation and mission at an affordable price. If a local congregation needs expert advice on an issue, it can call on a denominational representative for help and that help will be provided. Short-term financial assist-ance may be also available for congregations who are struggling to keep their bills paid.

Being part of a larger organization also enables a local congregation to help fund training schools for ministers (lay and ordained), participate in national programs to ad-dress major social issues and support emergency relief and development projects in Canada and around the world. By work-ing together, we are able to do what none of us can do alone.

Finally, being part of a larger organization con-nects a local congregation

Last week’s column traced the develop-ment of organized

religion in society. In that column, I argued that or-ganizations evolved as a means of defining ortho-dox beliefs and identifying those who were called, trained and then ordained to ecclesiastical offices.

I also noted that as the church grew, so did the number of bishops, clergy and other officers who looked after the spiritual and temporal affairs of the church. All of these people reported to one of two cen-tral authorities—the west-ern churches to Rome, the eastern to Constantinople.

The Protestant Refor-mation introduced a new element into this equation. Now, instead of one faith tradition with its accom-panying organization, we had two, then three, then more—until today we have more faith traditions and church denominations than one can count.

To this we add the grow-ing number of independent churches and media minis-tries—all believing (though most will never say this openly) that their teaching is closer to the truth than that shared by the rest of

Moms and grand-mas, do you re-member being too

busy to really listen as a child repeatedly asked a question or tried to tell you something when we were simply too busy, we thought, to pay attention? We said “yes” when we should not have, ignored warning signs when we should have paid attention. Probably happened to dads and grandpas as well, but there I can not speak from experience! (There were a great many “watch me”s that I missed as well)

Ernest Hemingway said “When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.” I have to agree. There are times when we listen and hear our interpretation of the spoken words. I thought a bit– just for a brief mo-ment- about our public leaders. They must hear what we try to say, but

in one community with people in other commun-ities who share common beliefs, common prior-ities and a deep desire to use their time, talent and treasure to help make their communities a better place in which to live. This is, by far, the greatest benefit that comes from being part of a larger church denomination.

But, to receive the bene-fits, a local church must often give up its right to control how it will be gov-erned and who will provide its spiritual leadership. Is the cost worth the bene-fits? Your church must answer that question for itself.

What I can say is this—the larger the organization, the larger the policy manu-al you will be asked to read and obey. Sadly, decisions made at the national level (and included in the latest edition of the denomina-tional polity manual) do not always address the needs of a local church. In fact, some of the rules, if rigidly applied, can choke the life out of a struggling congregation.

Next week: How to re-lease the people to do the work

cing self. Not imposing our thoughts, or heaven forbid, solutions, to the course of the conversation. Listening involves silencing self and offering safe space to an-other to open their hearts and minds and explore their feelings and fears. For a brief moment, we offer, or are offered, an opportunity to think and speak. And sometimes it is in speaking that we hear ourselves verbalizing new thoughts.

I come back to my phil-osophy, everybody has a story. One worth listening to. And they will only tell it when they have a chance, a silence into which they are safe and free to speak. As much as we appreciate freedom to speak, to talk, so do others around us. There is a place to bite one’s tongue and simply listen. Really listen.

The other day I saved a life. It was very in significant to some, but I felt blessed. This beautiful dragon fly was sitting on the sidewalk, probably blown

down by the rainstorm. Its wings were plastered to the cement. When I put my keys underneath the poor thing, it eagerly clamped on to them. I found a piece of greenery

to put it on but had to grab the wings to take it off my keychain and put the dragon fly on safe ground.

It made me think how God would feel when one sin-ner comes to repentance and it saved for eternity. He knows even one person among the millions of people on this earth and will lead him or her to a safe place. We just need to hang on to Him each step of the way on this earth. David puts it so well in Psalm 48:14 “For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our Guide even to the end.”

One reason we find the Senate scandal so vexing is that we are bound by laws and traditions and are not thinking outside the box to find a solution. Perhaps the best answer is to have our unelected Monarch take charge of Senate reform and appointments. It is a concept worthy of further consideration. There is a legal and constitutional solution to the mess the Senate is in.

Our head of state, represented in Canada by the Governor General, can oversee desperately needed Senate reform. The Prime Minister and the House of Commons are prevented by law from interfering with Senate affairs. Under the Parliament of Canada Act, Section 16, it is unlawful for anyone (including provinces) to try to influence Senators. Senate issues are far too politically charged at present for the Prime Minister or the House of Commons to oversee. The Provinces lack the influence and jurisdiction to par-ticipate in Senate reform.

Under our Constitution and the Parliament of Can-ada Act, the Senate is an independent, self-regulating body. Senators are appointed to age 75 and are not accountable to Parliament or to the provinces. Our Constitution states that the Governor General shall appoint qualified persons to the Senate. Traditionally, the appointments have been made on the advice of the sitting Prime Minister, but there is no reason why this has to continue. The practice has proven deficiencies. The Governor General could make politically neutral Senate appointments.

The 'cure' for the Senate has to come from within. Before any further Senate appointments are made, the Senate must create and enact appropriate admin-istrative rules that will ensure that eligible Senators’ expenses are clearly defined and that the Senate has the staff in place to monitor and audit Senators’ ex-pense claims. The Governor General, in consultation with the Auditor General, must be satisfied that the administrative rules and organization are in place to ensure adequate monitoring and meet constitutional and legal requirements.

Since Senate seats are assigned by province, the Lieutenant Governors of the provinces should be em-powered to receive applications for consideration of appointment to the Senate. Application could require the endorsement of 5,000 eligible electors from that province. Applications can only come from citizens, not from political parties or any other organization. Applicants must not hold any elected public office or have held elected public office for five years prior to application. The Governor General has the power to undertake credit, criminal record and other checks to ensure an applicant is of good character, fiscally solvent and meets the constitutional and legal quali-fications for a Senator. Appointments would be made from a pool of successful applicants by province to fill vacancies as they occur.

The Senate is currently divided into ‘government’ and ‘opposition’ sides, but this is for administrative purposes as the Senate has to have leadership and a means of conducting meaningful debate on legisla-tive matters. This structure can continue if appointed Senators are free to choose which side they wish to belong to or to sit as independents. There are 105 Senators. One must act as Speaker. That leaves 104 voting Senators. There are usually about three politic-ally independent Senators. The Senate sides should be limited to not more than 55 per cent of the Senate seats excluding independents.

Given time, the Senate would be truly independent, freed from partisan politics and more representative of average Canadians from the region they represent. The Senate would play out its intended role of examining legislation to ensure a balance between regions and fairness to all people. Our nation varies from region to region and our largest provinces vary from area to area. We can mitigate the differences to ensure that resource poor areas are not neglected, that the interests of urban dwellers do not overwhelm those of rural areas and that all provinces are treated equally.John FeldstedWinnipeg, Manitoba

There’s good news for Neepawa area residents without a family doctor. On Sept. 8, Dr. Nichelle Desilets will begin taking patients at the Beautiful Plains Community Clinic. Unlike other physicians who have moved to the area and taken over the practices of departing doctors, Dr. Desilets will be starting with no established patient list.

Dr. Desilets, who is from Elie, will be joining the five other doctors at the community clinic. The town’s exist-ing doctors see between 1,500 and 2,000 patients and long-time Neepawa physician Dr. George Ong explains that their lists are full. The addition of another doctor is welcome news for both area residents and the town’s existing physicians said Ong.

Dr. Desilets also bring some surgical skills to the com-munity, having just finished a year of extra training at the University of Saskatchewan. The Enhanced Surgical

The word dill comes from the word dilla meaning to lull or soothe. It has been used to calm stomach ailments and bad breath for years. It grows voluntarily in my garden. I use it to enhance the flavors of many dishes, particularly eggs and vegetables.

New potatoes with dill

12 small new potatoes2 Tbsp. butter1 Tbsp. flour1/4 tsp. salt1/4 tsp. pepper 1/2 cup light cream

1/2 cup potato water1 Tbsp. lemon juice1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chopped dill (or more to taste)

Scrub potatoes and cook in salted water until just ten-der. Drain, keeping liquid. In small fry pan melt butter, stir in flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add cream and potato water. Cook slowly until smooth and thickened, stirring constantly. Add lemon juice, pour sauce over potatoes and sprinkle with the fresh dill.

Dill deviled eggs

12 hardboiled eggs, shelled1/2 cup mayonnaise1 tsp. lemon juice1/2 tsp. dry mustard1/4 tsp. salt1/4 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. dried dill or 1 tsp. fresh1/2 tsp. onion powderPaprika and fresh dill for garnish

Making use of dill

Let eggs chill for several hours in the fridge if pos-sible. Cut eggs in half, length wise; remove yolks and place in a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayo, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, dill and onion powder. Mix well and with a spoon or a pastry bag with a large star tip fill the egg whites.

Gently sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh dill pieces.

New physician coming to NeepawaSkills program provides enhanced general surgical and obstetrical skills to a family physician or other non-surgery physicians. Dr. Ong explained that while Dr. Desilets isn’t a fully trained, specialist surgeon, she will be able to do some procedures and minor surgeries.

In addition to Dr. Desilets, a locum, or temporary, doctor will be working out of the clinic for four to five weeks, starting in August.

With Dr. Desilets, there will seven physicians practicing in the community but the recruitment work isn’t done. Dr. Ong says that they need between eight and nine physicians to best serve the area. With that in mind, the Neepawa medical recruitment committee continues its recruitment efforts. He explainsedthat ongoing activities include working with third year medical students, family practice residents and students on electives. Dr. Ong hopes that they will be able to add another couple of doctors within the next five years. “Recruitment never ends, it can’t stop,” he said.

A pair of Neepawa residents are facing drug and weapon charges. On Sunday, July 26, Spruce Plains RCMP executed a search warrant at a residence, where they discovered 4.5 ounces of cocaine, a prohibited weapon and nearly $6,000 in cash. RCMP media relations offi-cer Sergeant Bert Paquet later said that the prohibited weapon that officers found was a throwing star.

29-year old Jack Pich Jr and 26-year old Deana Pich have each been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000, and unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon. Both were released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

While the pages of the Neepawa Banner have been filled with news of large business moves lately, some smaller and medium sized business moves are also taking place. This past spring saw a huge new development in the Rocky Moutain Equipment building in the Neepawa industrial park on Hwy. 16 east. At the other end of town, in the RM of North-Cypress-Langford, Mazer-group made a huge update by renovating the former Mayor Equipment building. Just a couple of weeks ago construction started on the TIC facility in Neepawa on Hwy. 5 north.

In Neepawa’s downtown, Neepawa Tru Hardware switched to the Home Hardware brand. Larson's

Neepawa businesses on the move

Herbs, Health & Asian Foods on Ellen Street is re-locating to a larger space at 396 Mountain Ave. Move-in dates will be be-tween August 10 - 12 and Larson’s hopes to be fully operational by the 15th.

Owner Sandra Larson said, “We will also be operating out of both locations until the eve of the 14th.”

Next door to Larson’s, a long time business, Swan’s Denture has closed their Neepawa office. The whole building, known as the McCaffrey Block, has been sold to Ian Thomson of Kinley Thomson Ac-countants. In addition to Swan’s and Larson’s the block is home to Yellow-head Physiotherapy and Neepawa Pharmacy. Kinley

Thomson offices were lo-cated in the Kerr block, but have moved temporarily to the former Parenteau office on Davidson Street, next door to Curves. In the interim, Kinley Thomson will be renovating at the Ellen Street location in preparation for moving in this fall.

wall’s Clay Allan, came home with a second place finish in the team roping event. The duo roped in a tough field of ropers from across Canada.

Whelpton also finished seventh in the tie down roping event.

Earlier this summer, Whelpton competed in the World High School Rodeo Finals, held in Rock Springs, Wyoming.

Whelpton thanks Neil and Brenda Miller, and their family, for all their help and support along the way.

The pastor of a new church in Neepawa says he is bringing a message of hope and inclusiveness to the community. Stafford Greer, along with several members of his congrega-tion, are planning to open a branch of the Prairie Al-liance Church (PAC) in the former Neepawa Funeral home building in mid to late September. Greer, who has been a part of PAC for five years in Portage la Prairie, said that the denomination has a long established history in the province.

“PAC Neepawa is part of the Christian Mission-ary Alliance, which is just over a 100 years old. PAC itself used to be the Por-tage Alliance Church but we’ve changed our name to Prairie Alliance Church. We recently celebrated, I believe, 53 years in Portage la Prairie. We started out as a small congregation, but developed as a part of the community as the years progressed,” noted Greer.

The support for Prairie Alliance in Portage la Prairie has grown over the years, facilitating a $ 3 million expansion in 2013 to Westpark Church and School. Those upgrades included a new foyer and multi-purpose space for the church, as well as a 14,500-square foot expan-sion to the provincially certified school that it operates.

Once that work was completed, the PAC turned its attention to expanding into other communities. Greer said that Neepawa was selected as the first location to establish a new congregation due to it having an importance to the region as an anchor community. He noted that

September 13.As for PAC’s efforts to

acclimate itself to Nee-pawa, Greer emphasized that since March, when he, his wife Joanne and their three children moved here, word of mouth about the church has kept growing and more people have joined them. He added that PAC Neepawa wants to be very much inclusive and a part of the community.

“Part of our culture and who we are as a church is one where we really believe that part of any church’s mandate, wherever they are is to makes their town better, regardless of how many people from the town come to their church. We really want our town to think ‘I’m sure glad that they’re here.’ It’s like the teaching of Jesus Christ. He was accepting of all people, whether they followed him or not. As a church, we want to try and embody that as well,” said Greer. “If people become curious about us as a byproduct of that outreach, great, but

PAC settling into new home

it’s not the end all. We just want to bless people. We identify areas, where our work or our support may be a blessing to the town. Whether it’s working with the Roxy and providing a free movie night to families within the region or sup-porting the Filipino Basket-ball League or the Neepawa Natives Organization. As a church, we just want to go out of our way to make the town better.”

Stafford Greer, along with several members of his congregation, are planning to open a branch of the Prairie Alliance Church (PAC) in the former Neepawa Funeral home building in mid to late September.


the PAC’s development in Portage had similar origins.

“For a long time that was our longing to branch out to other communities but we really did not know where it was going to be, how it was going to go and when it was going to happen? But as things with Neepawa became a lot clearer, it became obvious that this would be the first spot where we grow,” said Greer. “We have been blessed with a fairly healthy congregation that developed over the years in Portage la Prairie. A big part of that is due to [the city of Portage] being an anchor for so many of it outlying communities. People from across the area come into Portage for commerce, for shop-ping, medical and so on. So we felt that Neepawa also serves as a rural hub for many of its satellite communities in a similar manner. Combined with the tremendous growth that’s going on in the town, it was a real opportunity. But really, from a spiritual sense, it felt as though God was leading us here. Neepawa felt highlighted throughout the process. Like this is the place we needed to be.”

Greer and other mem-bers of the church have spent the past several months transforming their new building in prepara-tion for public services in September. Work has re-cently slowed down as the group waits to receive additional construction permits. Assuming those permits come in soon, they’ll be working on a coffee cafe, foyer space and auditorium in which to host services. Greer stated that they remain hopeful that they’ll be able to have services begin by

Those financial re-sults are an improvement from 2013-2014, when the organization posted a loss of $58,035 and was on the brink of disbanding.

The team’s revenues for the year totalled $339,488, which was up $97,272 from last season, while their expenses also rose, from $300,251 to $306,477. Although the club’s year-over-year finances did move into the black, there remains a fair amount of red on the ledger, as the debt currently stands at $106,633.

For the upcoming fi-nancial year, the executive board for the team ex-pects operational spend-ing could be between $227,000 to $292,000, with salaries, equipment purchases and the billet program forecast to be the largest expenditures.

Neepawa Natives board member Cam Tibbett said that while the franchise has somewhat turned a corner in terms of the finances, there are still several challenges that will be faced in order to make the club viable in the long term.

“Last year, there were many donations that came in to support the team. We expect those will be one time things and something that can’t be relied on every year,” said Tibbett. “This year, we’ve hit the streets early, looking to generate support within the community and more corporate sponsors, both inside and outside the community. We also have

a decent start at some fundraising projects that could get us over the hump, eliminate the debt and move forward.”

New team governorDuring the AGM, it was

announced that Dave Clark will step into the role of team governor. The pos-ition involves attending league board of governors meetings and debating po-tential rule changes. Clark said he’s proud to be fol-lowing in the footsteps of former team reps Gaynor Vivian and Dave McIntosh.

“There’s been a history here with this team of great leaders in this position. Gaynor Vivian for many years as governor repre-sented the team well with the team and over the last two year, Dave McIntosh has stepped in as Gaynor’s replacement and I just hope that I’ll be able to

step in and fill that role. To be able to take what I know about the team to the [MJHL] Board of Governors and move it in a positive direction. Dave has helped spearhead a lot of progres-sive league-wide changes in his time on the board and I just hope that I will be able to continue on that tradition,” said Clark.

New board membersAlso on the agenda at

the Natives’ AGM was the election for three new members to the board of directors. Ken Waddell, Eoin Devereux and Alan Gillies were added to the board, with Waddell being selected to serve as board president. Incumbents Myles Cathcart, Trevor Lizotte, Mary Ellen-Clark, Mike Hodgins (Secretary) Darian Major, Ross Mc-Bride, Daniel McInnes (Treasurer), Mike Bulbuck,

Yellowhead Chiefs hire new assistant coach

The Yellowhead Chiefs AAA Midget Male Hockey Club are pleased to announce the hiring of assistant coach Garth Mitchell.

Mitchell comes back to the Chiefs program after three seasons away while he was on staff with the Virden Oil Capitals of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. Mitchell was also the head coach of the Chiefs for eight seasons.

Yellowhead Chiefs head coach Craig Geekie said the club is thrilled to add a coach of Mitchell’s talent, skill set and experience to his staff.

“It will be a thrill to work alongside someone who has coached at various levels and has such respect in the coaching world. [Mitchell] brings a wealth of knowledge to the organization and I’m very excited to have Garth on board,” noted Geekie.

The club expects to name an additional assistant coach before the Manitoba AAA Hockey League regular season begins in early October.

The Yellowhead Chiefs have also confirmed that the fall selection camp for the hockey club has been scheduled for September 11-13 at the Shoal Lake Communiplex. Registration information for players can be found on the team’s website at www.yellow-headchiefs.ca

1000 hour clubA new endeavour being

spearheaded by the team is the 1000 hour club in-itiative. The project will see players volunteering throughout the commun-ity during the season and keeping track of its effort to surpass 1000 hours of local service. In the past, players and coaches have spent hundreds of hours of their off time helping out at a wide array of functions throughout Neepawa and surrounding communities,

Billet program18 beds are in place for

the billet program, with several new families volun-teering for the upcoming season. 25 families are re-quired for the program to

function at peak efficiency. Anyone that could serve as a billet is asked to contact Mary Ellen-Clark or Myles Cathcart

During the AGM, it was also announced that the billet fee provided for family to cover the cost of housing the players which aids in the cost will be increased from $300 to $350. The billet committee is also negotiating with HyLife Foods to purchase pork products at cost to feed the players through to the season.

Alumni weekend The Neepawa Natives

have decided to host an alumni weekend to coincide with the annual Sports Dinner. Former players, coaches and bil-lets will receive free entry into the team’s home game against the Dauphin Kings on Friday, October 23.

Game time is set for 7:30.On Saturday, October

24 an alumni hockey game will also be played at 2:00 pm. Following the game will be the Sports Dinner, which is being co-hosted by the Town of Neepawa’s Leisure Service Depart-ment. It will feature Reggie Leach and a Don Cherry impersonator. Half the proceeds from the night will be donated to the Nee-pawa Natives Hockey Club.

FundraisingA variety of fundraising

options are being con-sidered for the next year. The cash draw lotto and year-end banquet are con-firmed. New endeavours being pursued include a crop project (Harvest for Hockey), a golf tourna-ment, a cabin project and the Trip to Paradise, which would include a draw for a pair of vacation vouchers for up to one thousand dollars a piece.

New third jerseyA mockup for a new

alternate third jersey was also showcased at the AGM. The design of the sweater is similar to the throwback worn by the Chicago Blackhawks dur-ing the 2009 NHL Winter Classic. The primary logo concept features a block N on the chest with the name Natives written in cursive over it. A second-ary roundel mark with a block N, the full team name and the year the club joined the Manitoba Junior Hockey League is featured on the shoulders.

While the hockey team is still searching for a corpor-ate sponsor for the sweater that would be worn by the players, replicas of the design are in production and are an option as part of the club’s regular season ticket sales package. The third jerseys will likely also be sold by the booster club during the MJHL regular season.

Farmers top Marlins in game 5


Brady Moxham of the Neepawa Farmers slides into third base against the Brandon Marl ins during the best of seven MSBL playoff series

Despite Mother Nature’s best effort to cool down the bats of the Neepawa Farm-ers on Tuesday, July 28, the team was able to overcome the elements on the way to a 7-1 win over the Brandon Marlins. Daylon Creasy lead Neepawa at the plate, going 2-for-3 and getting 4 RBI during the seven in-ning, rain shortened game. Ian Hockin, Travis Jean and Brady Moxam all added a single RBI to help the Farm-ers to the win.

During the game, the players found themselves dealing with scattered rain

and a strong wind, making for some difficult playing conditions. There was also a 15 minute delay at the end of the third inning, as the rain became too heavy to continue play. After some initial concern that the game might be post-poned, the weather condi-tions cleared up enough to continue.

Once play resumed, a solid pitching perform-ance from Josh Loewen, which included allowing only a single run and nine hits over seven innings, helped to keep the Farm-ers from elimination in the Manitoba Senior Baseball League semi-final match-

up. The victory extended the best of seven series to a sixth game, which was played after the Ban-ner’s publication deadline. Updates on the series are available online at www.mywestman.ca and will be published in the August 7 edition of the Neepawa Banner.

In the other MSBL semi-final, the Oak River Dodg-ers beat the Brandon Cloverleafs on Tuesday, July 29, by the score of 6-4. With the win, Oak River took the best of seven series four games to one and advanced to the league championship for the first time in team history.

Eleanor Violet was born March 22, 1923 in Purvis, MB, the 9th of 12 children born to Caroline Elizabeth (Pfaff) & Daniel (Pa) Gower.During the depression the Gower family migrated to homestead in Glencairn, MB. Later as work & circum-stances allowed the family moved to Kelwood, MB where Eleanor spent her adult life.In 1941 she married Henry Alvin Winthrop (who predeceased her in 1991). They made their home on the mountain west of Kelwood where they raised four children, Cecil, Donald, Ruth, and David while providing home and hearth to countless cousins, friends & neigh-bors. They retired into the town of Kelwood in 1969.Eleanor will be remembered for her years driving the horse drawn school bus up and down the mountain and her amazing ability to feed the many impromptu family members, neighbours, hunters and guests that frequented their home.

Eleanor was an active member of the United Church Women’s group providing 50 years of service to the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary Branch #50. Her 50 years of service and 50 years of marriage were both matters of great personal accomplishment to Eleanor.In 1996 Eleanor met Bertrand Swiskoski, a kindred spirit. Burt embraced her family and the two danced, travelled and enjoyed 12 years of living and socializing between Neepawa & Kelwood until Burt’s death in 2005.Eleanor was the proud keeper of the family genealogy spending decades recording and researching. She leaves a comprehensive legacy for future generations. Eleanor is remembered with warmth and love by one older sister, Irene Finkbeiner (97) of Crediton, ON; her four children Cecil (Bonnie), Don (Shirley), Ruth (Michael) & David; Seven grandchildren, Tracey Winthrop-Meyers (Brad), Alyson Oshust (Peter), Chris-topher Winthrop (Christine), Ryan Antonichuk (Karen), Alexis Dyck (Jason), Olivia Winthrop (Scot) and James Winthrop (Jennifer); and eight great-grand children Bronwyn, Derry, Connor, Rebecca, Xavier, Penny, Jack and Evie.The family extends their gratitude to the staff of Country Meadows Personal Care Home for their care and support.Funeral service will be held on Friday, July 31, 2015 at 3:00 pm at the Kelwood United Church with interment to follow at the Kelwood Cemetery.

Continued from page 2Far from the high oc-

tane environment at the airport, the Viscount Cul-tural Centre hosted the inaugural JamFest. The event featured music, art, as well as farmers’ market.

Rrain Prior, the VCC’s director of Programming, said that the event went well. She added that while they would have like more people to come, the feed-back was positive, “Every-one said it was wonderful.” Prior added that the jam tasting and art show were very popular.

Prior did note that there was some confusion, with some people in town ex-pecting to take part in the Lily Festival.

JamFest made use of the facility’s new stage and the event closed at 9 p.m., with eight musicians jamming. “The stage was exactly what we hoped for. The space worked out well,” said Prior. She added that at 7 p.m., the yard and stage were full. “It looked wonderful,” she said.

Prior said that based on the event’s success, they are planning to host the event again next year. “We want to continue, this was a test year,” she explained.

At the Lily Nook, south of Neepawa, Lily Daze was in full swing. Nigel Strohman said that it went really well and that they had about 2,500 people through their property. Visitors came from across Canada, as well as a few Americans and one Brit-ish visitor. He added that many of them were people who come back year after year.

While they didn’t have any bus tours, as they did during the Lily Festvial, Strohman said that they are on track to have 5,000 visitors in the month of July. He added that hav-ing fewer visitors has allowed more time to talk to people.

The Strohmans also quickly arranged a lily show, which attracted five exhibitors, showing 31 stems and four arrange-ments. Once Strohman’s commercial entries were included, there were 61 displays.

Based on the event’s success, Strohman said that they plan to host both Lily Daze and the show again next year. Next year’s show will be run in conjunction with the Manitoba Lily Society and they plan to add more to Lily Daze.

“There was a good vibe from the people who came,” said Strohman.

Historically a busy

weekend for the town’s restaurants, at Dairy Queen, owner/manager Pam Brown said that they had a very busy weekend. She added that there was

a good mix of old and new faces and the heat was of benefit to them. “It was very good for the ice cream business,” she said.

Further to the west,

Dean Tremaine, owner of Chicken Corral, said that they too had a good weekend. “It was a really good summer weekend,” he said, noting that they

usually get quite a bit of highway traffic.

Without the Lily Festival, Tremaine said that they missed the large rush. “We usually got slammed

right after the parade,” he said. He added that some customers came in asking about the festival and he directed them to the VCC or the Lily Nook.

Organizers hoping to build on success for next year
