Neepawa supports Miracle Treat Day

The little bit of ice cream makes for a nice treat on a hot summer day. For many people in Neepawa, that treat likely tasted just a little bit sweeter recently when its purchase meant you were helping out a good cause.

On Thursday Aug 13, 2,566 Blizzards were sold at the Dairy Queen res-taurant in Neepawa. It was part of Miracle Treat Day, an annual event that sees 100 percent of the proceeds from every Blizzard sold donated to local Children’s Miracle Network member hospi-tals. In total, $13,009.18 was raised locally from

the day. Neepawa Dairy Queen owner/manager Pam Brown said it was an incredible event.

“It has been great. The community was just so amazing with its generos-ity. Every year, it seems to get bigger and busier,” Brown said. “There were a few times [during the day] when we had people com-ing in for a third or fourth time to buy a blizzard.”

Brown also thanked all the employees and volun-teers for the work they did to ensure Treat Day was a success.

Several members of the Neepawa Natives junior ‘A’ hockey club were among those giving their time to a worthy cause. Among them was new head coach

“It’s been great. The people have been terrific. It’s my first interaction with many people. To be able to introduce myself and to do so while helping out an important cause, has been amazing,” said Fuyarchuk.

Since 2005, the Nee-pawa’s Dairy Queen has raised $100,067.14. Ac-cording to the Miracle Treat Day web site, since 1984, DQ customers across North America have raised $100 million in support for sick and injured children.

The Town of Neepawa wants to know if there’s any local interest in the construction of a new, permanent skate park. The current seasonal park, located north of the RCMP building, has been in ser-vice for just over 10 years. The original cost for ma-terials and assembly for the ramps in 2005 was around $10,000, with the majority of that invest-ment provided by the Town.

Neepawa leisure services manager Amanda Novak said that park’s current location is not a feasible long term option, as it is

too small and not suitable for any type of expansion that may allow it to ac-commodate BMXers. No-vak added that municipal administration would like to speak with any individ-uals or community groups interested in spearheading the project.

“We’d like to see an organization come for-ward and present a plan [to Town Council] within the next year. Leisure Services could work with them, serving as a liaison to council. We could also serve as a resource to aid them in the preparation of proposals to potential grants,” said Novak.

The idea of a seasonal park in the Flats, with

equipment that could be removed from the grounds in the winter had previ-ously been considered. Novak said that option has been rejected due to its cost being likely as much as a permanent structure and there being possible issues with removal and storage of materials during the winter. She said that the current belief is that a permanent park would produce a better final product with more lon-gevity. Novak added that the Flats may be the most viable location, because the Town could donate a piece of land, but that the Town will work with any community groups interested in fundraising

for the project in finding the best possible location.

“I’m hoping that the community at large will see this as an investment in our youth,” stressed Novak. “It is something that the young people [of Neepawa] could use. It’d be accessible and free for anyone to use. In my opinion, it would be a worthy project if some-body was willing to put in the time to help get it off the ground.”

Est. 1989.comBannerneepawa

I recently returned from a trip to Chicago and what struck me above all else was the city’s seamless integration of past, present and future.

In the 1800s Chicago was a major economic and transportation hub for the country and a gateway to the burgeoning west. In 1893, the city hosted the World’s Columbian Exposition, a world-wide celebration to mark the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ dis-covery of the New World . Close to 27 million people attended that fair, which ran for six months. The city bid on the event in 1882, a little over 10 years after the Great Chicago Fire of 1971 had destroyed much of the city.

Reconstruction following the fire provided an opportunity to rebuild a modern city and there were financial resources avail-able to make those ambitions a reality. At the forefront of urban development, Chicago was the site of the world’s first skyscraper, the 10 story Home Insurance Building completed in 1885.

Chicago is still associated with skyscrapers and the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower was the tallest building in the world until 1998. It was the tallest building in the United States until May 10, 2013, when it was overtaken by One World Trade Centre in New York.

While Chicago is home to many modern sky scrapers, including the recently built 1,389 foot Trump Tower Chicago, it has also kept its historic buildings. Eleven of the city’s 91 tallest buildings were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s. These old buildings, as well as those built throughout the 20th century, have been maintained and remain beautiful reminders of the architectural styles of the past. As you look across the skyline, you see 100 years of architecture and engineering.

In addition to the famous skyscrapers, the city is also full of old homes. It isn’t just the famous examples, such as the numer-ous Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes; across the city, single family homes and low rise apartments built close to a century ago are still prominent. Perhaps it’s because much of the city was rebuilt in durable brick and stone after the fire, but these old buildings have been maintained and updated and continue to have a major presence in the city.

At the museums and art galleries, which are known for hav-ing old things, the past has been brought to life in the present. The Field Museum of Natural History got its start with the 1893 World’s Fair. Many of the specimens on display in the museum were on display more than 100 years ago. At that time, exhibits such as these were the only exposure many people had to the world’s plants and animals.

While the core of the exhibits have a long history, the museum has worked to update how its artifacts are presented. The dis-plays have progressed, giving visitors a closer look and a better understanding of context. One of the museum’s most famous attractions remains Sue, a 42 foot long, 67 million year old Tyran-nosaurus rex fossil. Sue is 80 per cent complete and is the most complete and best-preserved known T-rex fossil.

In addition to seeing ancient artifacts, visitors can also watch the scientists at the DNA Discovery Centre extract DNA from various organisms. Through the glass, they can talk to the sci-entists about their work.

I’m not sure why we in Manitoba seem so keen to turn our backs on the history down the street or across the yard. Maybe it’s because there has always been the space to start fresh. Maybe it’s our modest nature. Maybe it’s because we didn’t have the opportunity tobuild a vision of ourselves to showcase to the greater world.

Perhaps because we are a young province or perhaps because of the hard scrabble nature of pioneer farming, Manitobans seem little concerned with preserving our heritage. For the last 50 or so years, we have been more focused on moving to the newest things, leaving the past to rot. Today, much of that past is now beyond saving.

About four years ago, David Frum participated in a debate about the legacy of

Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Well known as a former prime minister of Canada and father of current Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau, the very name raises strong feelings in Canada

Frum claims that Pierre Tru-deau was a disaster as a prime minister of Canada. That claim flies in the face of some of today’s Liberals but it is no sur-prise to the majority of western Canadians. Pierre Trudeau was in my view, as in David Frum’s view, a disaster for Canada.

Frum speaks in detail and bases his premise on “the Tru-deau record in three dimensions: What Trudeau did to the Can-adian economy, what Trudeau did to Canada’s standing in the world and what Trudeau did to Canadian political stability.”

Trudeau was a socialist. Ac-cording to the late Archie Doan of Riding Mountain, Manitoba, he was also a Nazi sympathizer in his youth. Doan personally watched Trudeau, wearing a swastika on his back, protest Canada going to war. Trudeau was a leader in a protest that held up troop train on its way to Debert, Nova Scotia. Doan’s ob-servation can be backed up with little seen CBC movie footage.

A few years later, Trudeau realized that he could never achieve nation changing status as part of Canada’s socialist parties, the CCF that had turned into the NDP. He knew that. He and three friends plotted how to change the nation. One of the friends parted company with them, he was Rene Levesque

and they remained enemies until their respective deaths. Trudeau and the other two decided the only way to power was through the soft bellied Liberal Party of Canada. After being in power for most of the first 70 years of the 20th century, the Liberal Party was vulnerable to renewal and they cared little about where the renewal came from. To have sev-eral young, smart, energetic guys from Quebec was too much of a temptation. The Liberal Party of Canada embraced Trudeau and his buddies with open arms and open wallets.

The last unilingual Liberal Prime Minister of Canada was Lester Pearson and he as a dull as they come. Pearson was moulded in the tradition of Mackenzie King and Louis St. Laurent. Tubby little men, likeable, but dull as could be. Trudeau was anything but tubby, he wasn’t dull and he had more energy than 10 regular

politicians.Frum is correct in stating that

Trudeau affected the country on all three of his stated points. What Frum doesn’t mention is that Trudeau also changed many laws that, in retrospect, didn’t do the country any good either. He also fiddled with things that should have been left alone, such as imposing the metric system, imposing bilingualism and bi-culturalism.

Instead of letting Canada grow gracefully into a thriving and diversified economy like it had been doing for decades, if not centuries, Trudeau’s policies were gut wrenching and ineffect-ive at the same time.

Justin Trudeau appears to be a nice man, a good father and husband but as long as he and his handlers insist on a blatant continuation of his father’s leg-acy, he will never get support in Western Canada.

Seeing people through God’s eyes

rewarding. There is a low growing cedar, a dusty green that creeps and covers the ground, that had crept and covered much more ground than I realized. I started with the small shears and when I saw the extent of the space it blanketed, I went for the big guns. Leather gloves and clippers. I was amazed at how quietly it has encroached on the path. Rather like little evils, it had gained a foothold and advanced unimpeded.

In the same scene is the water feature, and old farm pump modified for the circulating water to continuously flow down

the spout. The “well” is backed by a lilac bush. The first year we lived here, I attempted to clear the debris among the lilac by igniting it. Bad call! The bush was tall enough that the branches could caress the porch. Not a good idea when the lilac branch is en-gulfed in flames! To say the least, I have tried to subdue the lilac clump to a non- threatening size. I real-ized that once again, the branches had grown and the underbrush filled in. The sound of the cascad-ing water was muffled. So I attacked the lilac. By the time I hauled the branches to the burning pile, I will

the minds of our parents (before we were conceived in the wombs of our moth-ers), every one of us was known by God, loved by God and destined by God to become a contributing member of human society.

This makes every per-son on earth a person of infinite value in God’s eyes and as such, a person who should be treated with dignity and respect. How do we do this?

First, by protecting the innocent and vulnerable in society. Just laws alone (even with clear regula-tions to enforce them) can not adequately protect our children from predators. They can not prevent ex-ploitation and abuse of the elderly. Nor can they ad-equately deter people from discriminating against those who are suffering from some form of mental

or physical handicap.Laws can (and must)

identify criminal acts against the innocent and vulnerable. They must also specify the consequences those who commit these acts must suffer. They need to be as stiff as pos-sible, they need to be ap-plied equally to all people and the loopholes that let an offender get off scot-free need to be plugged. We need to send a strong message to every resident of Canada—that there is no excuse for these acts and that as a “just society,” we will come down hard on those who abuse the innocent and vulnerable among us.

But we must also use the power of the classroom and the pulpit to show children, youth and adults how to treat everyone they meet with dignity and

Last week, I identified some topics on which I will reflect in the

weeks leading up to the October 19 federal elec-tion. In these reflections, I will offer some thoughts on the improvements we need to see in Canada if it is to become a country in which we are proud to live.

Over the past few years, we have seen a marked decrease in the level of respect some Canadians display in their inter-actions with others. I see this in three areas—in our respect for life, respect for authority and respect for human rights. Today’s column deals with my first area of concern.

Respect for human life is the foundation upon which a just society is built. To properly show this respect, we must learn to see people as God sees them.

King David (Psalm 139:13-15) has much to say on this topic. He notes that all people on earth share one thing in com-mon. We are all “fearfully and wonderfully made by God.” From the moment we were first conceived in

It has been a rewarding week for my goal of 30 minutes extra yard

work. I have to admit, when the days were super hot and overly humid, I fell behind in my ambition and achieving my goal.

I don’t count picking peas as an extra yard work task. However, filling the wheelbarrow with thistles and portulaca counts. As does deadheading flowers, snapping maple shoots off the gnarled trunk and removing cockleburs and those terrible little burrs.

I missed one of those thin, brambly ones close to the house, and Miss Daisy found it. She doesn’t have dog hair, she has sheep’s wool. She doesn’t like to be trimmed and tidied, but the torment of the burrs allowed her to accept my assistance. Not for all of them, but some. Point in my favour.

Several tasks were very

respect. An ounce of edu-cation can do more good than a thousands in fines, years in jail or a life time of restrictions.

Second, we reflect dig-nity and respect by creating an environment in which all people (especially those who are physically and mentally challenged) can achieve their full potential.

To do this, we must of-fer an adequately funded, high quality system of primary, secondary and post-secondary educa-tion that is available to all and, in the case of post-secondary education, af-fordable by all. Sufficient flexibility must be built into the system so that it can be tailored to the inter-ests and strengths of each student. An investment in quality education is an investment in a society in which we all can help build a better country and a bet-ter world.

As we do these things, we will be blessed by the one who created us in his image and who reminds us that whatever we do for one of the least of his creation, we do for him.

admit that task required more than my allotted 30 minutes. But it is done and I like the look and sound of it much better.

Another morning, the grass around the building got whacked. I do appre-ciate the electric device I purchased. No more frantic pulls on the start cord. No more mixing of the concoction needed in the fuel tank. Just a heavy length of electric cord to shlep around the yard. Another plus is that some parts of the yard don’t have an outlet close enough so some areas just don’t need to be trimmed!

There always is a list of possible yard jobs. The 30 minutes are perfect for the dogs to get some exercise and for me to enjoy the out-doors. There are a couple of all day tasks I would love to accomplish, but I will await recruits for those. Friends- be forewarned!

Have you made your choice yet? We are in the middle of an election campaign. Four candidates are trying to convince the people of Canada to

vote for them because they have the right platform and their promises are the ones they will keep. Most likely, each representative has some items that we can agree with, but it might not be easy to pick the person whose political program we fully accept.

Have you made your choice yet? We do not have to choose between four candidates when it comes to our soul and we do not have to pick the right platform. God is all we need to weather the storms in life. He is the true Savior of the people. His promises will be fulfilled and He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). God can only do that if we surrender our heart and life to Him and accept His saving grace..

Let the Lord have His way in our life every day.

Changing times

It was Oct. 8, 1993 when Peter Mansbridge announced the advent of the Internet on the CBC. It was a revolutionary method of com-munication that allowed 15 million people around the world to communicate simply by typing keys. This new method of communica-tion was void of all aspects of human expres-sion; no visual or verbal cues, only words on a screen. Participation in the Internet grew at an astounding pace and has since revolutionized how the world communicates at both a social and economic level.

Interaction on the Internet was unregulated at the time and individuals felt a certain ano-nymity, a certain freedom to freely express themselves without the constraints that face-to-face interaction imposed. Today, the means of interaction has grown exponentially; Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are only a few of the many means of communication.

As with other innovations in our lives, and often because of tragic incidents, governments are eventually moved to develop regulations in an attempt to control these means of com-munication. On Monday, March 9, 2015, Bill C-13, “Protecting Canadians from Online Crime Act” became law. How this bill and other regula-tions regarding the Internet impact our lives is difficult to determine or predict, but a general understanding is important.

There are several clauses that specifically can impact school divisions. This Act adjusts Canada’s Criminal Code to create a new offence that prohibits any individual from distributing, publishing intimate images of another individ-ual without that individual’s consent. The Act defines what is considered an intimate image and defines the specific penalties and fines if convicted.

The Act also provides law enforcement of-ficers broader abilities to search and seize electronic devices. These broader provisions are more relevant to private individuals and not to school divisions. However, the Act does provide law enforcement officers the author-ity to make a “preservation demand” which can impose conditions on a division to keep computer data if requested and relevant to an offence. A school division must comply with the “preservation order”.

The complete statue may be found under the following link: Protecting Canadians from On-line Crime Act ( SC 2014, c. 31) http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/annualstatutes/2014_31/

It is difficult to understand the extent to which the Internet has revolutionized our lives. As a community in Beautiful Plains School Division, we have new and additional responsibilities to teach, monitor and protect our children from online pressures, bullying or abuse. Vigilance and consistent monitoring are the best defense. It is a responsibility that our grandparents never imagined but now a reality for families and communities around the world.Board of TrusteesBeautiful Plains School Division

This summer, the win-dows at It’s Time in Nee-pawa have become a rotat-ing gallery of artwork and inspiration. Last week, NACI student Ram Igna-cio completed his second piece of window art for the store, a Marilyn Monroe inspired chalk drawing.

Ram, whose full name is Ray Andi Marcel A. Ignacio, began painting at the age of seven. Before moving to Canada, he attended sum-mer art classes, including classes under Bert Monter-ona, a multi-awarded Fili-pino visual artist, and Bong Perez, a Doctor of Fine Arts in plastic expression.

Since moving to Canada in 2013, Ram has become involved in the local arts scene. He serves as a youth board member for the VCC and has helped with events.

In addition to painting and sketching, he and his younger sister Toines are both choir members for NACI and HMK respect-ively and are taking piano lessons. Ram played the role of Donkey in this year’s NACI production of Shrek. He also loves to dance and as a member of Filipino Youth Dancers, has danced as community events, including DQ’s Miracle Treat Day.

Ram will be going into Grade 11 this fall.

On Sunday, August 9, the long awaited official opening of Kelwood's play-ground took place. Resi-dents Tara Bauer, Esther Engbrecht, Jodi Fraser and Lynn Wetherill formed the Kelwood Playground and Wellness Committee last year, following a need to provide a facility for kids and families to enjoy in the community.

Ground breaking took place on Sept. 13, 2014 within Kelwood Park. The construction of the play-ground was made possible through grants, support from local businesses and the donation of time and talent by current and former residents.

Cake, ice cream and refreshments were avail-able following the ribbon cutting.

Kuharski, with his bronze medal from the 2015 Wes te rn Canada Summer Games

A Neepawa youth has returned home with some hard-ware around his neck from the Western Canada Summer Games. Nick Kuharski was a member of Team Manitoba baseball, which ended up winning a bronze medal at the games, recently held in Wood Buffalo, Alberta. Manitoba defeated the host province in the third place game on Sunday, Aug 16, by the score of 5-1.

Kuharski, who plays the catcher position, said the opportunity to represent the province at the Western Canada Games was a great honour. He noted that the level of competition throughout the tournament was extremely high calibre.

“It was a great event with some very talented players out there. [Team Manitoba] played five games and the playoffs. There weren’t any games where our team felt outmatched,” noted Kuharski.

The Summer Games were played at the $133 million Shell Place on Fort McMurray’s MacDonald Island. Since the facilities opened earlier this year, it has already hosted Canadian Football League exhibition and regular season games and an Aerosmith concert. It also includes a brand new 2,300-seat state of the art baseball stadium with four adjacent softball fields and the capacity to host 5,500 fans. Kuharski noted that the facilities were very interesting.

“The baseball stadium was impressive. It was a bit different playing on it because it’s all Field Turf, as op-posed to natural grass. It took a little bit of getting use to because the baseball reacts a bit differently, but we were able to adjust quickly. Overall, it was an incredible facility,” said Kuharski.

Neepawa found itself well represented on the softball diamond as well, as Amy Todoruk was a member of the squad. Todoruk and her 13 teammates represented the province very well at the Western Canada Games, mak-ing it to the bronze medal game, before being defeated by Saskatchewan 6-3.

Todoruk said that despite not bringing home a medal, she’s still very proud of the team’s effort and of being a part of the event in general.

“It was the most incredible experience I’ve ever been a part of and it was such an honour to be representing Manitoba,” said Todoruk. “The people and volunteers of Fort McMurray were so nice and the facilities, along with accommodations and food, were unreal. The level of competition was very high and even though we didn’t end up where we wanted to, we had a lot of good things happen on the field. I’m so thankful to have been able

to go and it was an experience of a lifetime that I’ll never forget.”

In total, Manitoba placed third in the medal standings, with 144 medals, divided between 48 gold, 47 silver and 49 bronze.

The Oak River Dodgers are MSBL Champions. The Dodgers recently clipped the Brandon Marlins 6-4 to claim the best of seven series 4 games to 1 to claim their first ever MSBL Title.

Luke Whelpton started for the Marlins and was effective through six innings, allowing one run on four hits while racking up six strikeouts. Veteran Jeff Wiebe relieved Whelpton in the seventh, but was unable to get through the inning. Wiebe was tagged with the loss after allowing three runs on three hits in just 1/3 of an inning. Tanner Jago had a pair of hits, including a home run to pace the Marlins offence.

For the Dodgers, Nathan Winston got the ball and was good through his seven innings, holding the Marlins to three runs on five hits in picking up the win. Ty Paddock picked up the save with two innings of one run ball, sealing the victory for the Dodgers. Matt Gunning smashed a pair of doubles and chipped in two RBI, while Gino Strebing had a hit and two RBI. The MSBL named Gino Strebing and Morgan Geekie co-MVP’s for the Dodgers in the final series. Nolan Jago was named MVP for the Marlins.

The Neepawa Natives are hoping a new initiative will grow a little extra support for their bottom line. The junior ‘A’ hockey team has created Harvest for Hockey, a project where local farm families are be-ing asked to donate a portion of their crop to help support the operations of the club.

Natives board member Cam Tibbett said that within the next few days, farms within a 20 kilometre radius of Neepawa should receive a letter outlining the Harvest for Hockey concept.

“This is something the team is very excited about. We’ve mailed out details to farms across the region. Neepawa and surrounding area has a vibrant farm-ing community, so it’s very important for the team to explore options for making partnerships with farmers,” said Tibbett.

Natives general manager Myles Cathcart noted that it is very important for the hockey team to establish a stronger connection to the region’s agricultural base.

“The area has a strong farming heritage and the Neepawa Natives are looking forward to making partnerships with area farmers to not only promote the positive influences of farm families on the com-munity but also ensuring the hockey organization is able to thrive in the coming seasons,” said Cathcart.

The crop donation being pursued for the inaugural Harvest for Hockey project is canola. The plan is for farmers, who have committed to donating an amount of bushels, to contact the club during harvest. The team will then drive to the field in a rented truck and the farmer can use their hopper to donate the preferred amount of canola.

As part of the donation, all participating farmers and their immediate families would be recognized on signage at the Yellowhead Arena, as well as online on the team website. The Neepawa Natives are also planning a Harvest for Hockey game night early in the season, where the club would recognize its contributors and extend a free gate admission of up to six tickets to all of the participating Harvest for Hockey farmers and farming families.

The team added that if anyone is interested in becoming a Harvest for Hockey supporter, or if they have additional questions, they can contact Cam Tibbett at (204) 841-3060.

Bessie May GablerBessie May Gabler was born

Feb. 27, 1920 to Albert and Mary Dalgleish at Burnside, MB at the home of her grandparents. Bessie grew up on the family farm north

west of Riding Mountain. Af-ter she completed her grade

8 she worked cleaning houses for families in the neighborhood

and as far away as Birnie. On Oct. 11, 1939 she married Benjamin Gabler and they resided on the Gabler farm 1.5 miles north of the Dalgleish farm. They were blessed with 5 children, Joyce, Doreen, Eleanor, Lois and Darrell. After 23 years of hard work and doing without many amenities, they moved to 23 acres of land west and south of Neepawa where they continued to raise some livestock and grew raspberries and strawberries while Ben worked as a carpenter. When Ben's health started to fail they moved into Neepawa. Ben passed away in May of 1995. Bessie lived on at Kinsmen Kourts until she was no longer able to manage and then was admitted to East View Lodge and spent her last years at Country Meadows. Bessie passed away Sunday, July 26, 2015 at Country Meadows after all her children gath-ered as well as a number of grandchildren. Bessie was predeceased by her husband Ben, daughter Eleanor Drake and son-in-law Barrie Strohman. Bessie was the last of her generation of 3 brothers (Elvin, Lawrence and Albert Dalgleish) and 4 sisters (Elsie, Evelyn, Clarice and Florence).

Betty Jean Brunen(nee Bray)

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our mother, grand-mother and great grand-mother Betty at the age of 84,

on Sunday, July 26, 2015 at the Ste. Rose General Hospital,

surrounded by her loving family.Betty was the second daughter born to Walter and Lena Bray on April 14, 1931 at the Lonely Lake Homestead. She attended school at Lonely Lake and after finishing her education stayed on the farm. She met and married Roman Brunen in Ste. Rose, Manitoba on May 12, 1958. They resided most of their married life in McCreary, Man-itoba. Their marriage was blessed with 6 children. Mary (Grant Klapp) Elkford, British Columbia, Bernie (Gordon Allan) McCreary, Manitoba, Valerie (Bill Glover) McCrea-ry, Manitoba, Diane Brunen (Cliff Archer) Dauphin, Mani-toba, Don Brunen, McCreary, Manitoba.She will be sadly missed by her 10 grandchildren Adam Klapp (Selena) Ft. McMurray, Alberta, Kiel Klapp (Laura Cassidy) Calgary, Alberta, Lee Klapp (Dakota Webster) Elkford, British Columbia, Nicole Allan (Carlos Pereira) Winnipeg, Manitoba, Laura Gowan (Troy) Rapid City, Manitoba, Kayla Allan, Brandon, Manitoba, Jennifer Glover, Creston, British Columbia, Billy Glover (Dakota Louison) McCreary, Manitoba, Stuart Plummer (Jasmine Thompson) Dauphin, Manitoba, Sara Plummer, Dauphin, Manitoba and six great grandchildren Harley, Charlotte and Lane Klapp, Ft. McMurray, Alberta, Jada Klapp, Elk-ford, British Columbia, Leila Glover, McCreary, Manitoba, Liam Thompson, Dauphin, Manitoba.Although Mom was born and raised on the farm she was never comfortable in the barn or around animals. All her life she struggled with an anxiety disorder. She found it difficult to attend many celebrations in the community. Much of her time was spent with family where she felt at ease.Mom devoted her life to raising and caring for her fam-ily. As children we fondly remember coming home to the sweet smell of a homemade lemon pie or cinnamon cookies fresh from the oven. She gave us unconditional love and security and we always knew we could count on her to be there for us at the end of the day.After Dad’s death in 2001, we encouraged her to try go-ing to the Adult Day Program in McCreary. Little did we know how much she would enjoy her time there. She looked forward to her Wednesday and Thursday morn-ings when the Handi-Van would pick her up. The staff and residents always made her feel special and over the years she made many friends. As she grew older, she often surprised us with some of her humorous remarks which made us all laugh. She took great pride and joy in her grandchildren and great grandchildren.We love you Mom and Grandma! We will miss you!Betty is survived by 3 brothers Bill Bray, Ste. Rose, Man-itoba, George and Sylvia Bray, Eddystone, Manitoba, Brian and Odile Bray, Carman, Manitoba, brother and sister-in-law Barry and Katherine Inkster, Rorketon, Man-itoba, sister-in-laws Hazel Brunen, Eriksdale, Manitoba, Anna Paradis, Ste. Rose, Manitoba as well as numerous nieces and nephews.Betty was predeceased by her husband Roman Brunen, and infant son Joseph, her parents Walter and Lena, sister Doreen Parfitt, brother-in-law Maurice Parfitt and sister-in-law Elsie Bray.A funeral service was held on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. from the McCreary Roman Catholic Church in McCreary. Interment followed in the McCreary Roman Catholic Cemetery.

Alonsa Receives Sponsorship from Manitoba Liquor & LotteriesAlonsa Community Co-Operative Inc. was chosen to receive funding from Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Small Capital Sponsorship Program for the installa-tion of new flooring at their Community Centre. The Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Small Capital Sponsor-ship Program is designed to provide support to charitable and non-profit organizations in Manitoba for small capital projects that focus on benefiting the community. As the centre was in need of new flooring for safety issues, this sponsorship has been an asset to our community as this facility is the hub of all events in our town. The organiza-tion does not receive operating monies and raises money through their weekly bingos and fund raising events for maintenance and repairs of the facility.

“The small capital sponsorship program is giving commu-nities across Manitoba the opportunity to invest in projects like this one. We are proud to have sponsored the flooring upgrades to the Alonsa Community Centre,” says Larry Wandowich, Chief Community Relations and Marketing Officer.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and community at large, we would like to extend our gratitude to the Mani-toba Liquor and Lotteries for their gracious sponsorship enabling our community to have a safe environment to use our facility.

Looking back through the history of “the great” vehicles, they often have a timeless design. The changes are evolution-ary – improvements and updates – rather than revolutionary leaps. If you have a good recipe, it would be crazy to change it up too much.

The Jeep Grand Chero-kee falls into this category. Its handsome good looks let you know it’s rugged, yet somehow, it looks classy at the same time. Almost every generation of the Grand Cherokee has been able to pull this off.

The current model has actually been out since 2011, though it has re-ceived a face lift and some updates in these four years. Because of this aging platform, I was wor-ried that the 2015 Grand Cherokee would feel dated and old. However, thanks to updated suspension, en-gines and transmissions, it feels fresh and up to date.

Thanks to Murray Chrysler in Brandon, I was able to take two Grand

MASTER CLASSCherokees out for test: a 290 hp gas V6 and a 240 hp diesel V6, both con-nected to an eight speed automatic transmission.

The gas powered Jeep allows you to get behind the wheel of Jeep’s flagship vehicle for a lower price and still achieve decent fuel economy – 9.8 litres per 100 km on the high-way. The max tow rating for the V6 is a respectable 6,200 lbs.

The EcoDiesel option comes at a steep cost – $7,145 to be exact. The diesel mill is more ef-ficient, rated at 8.4 litres

Years of refinements make the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

a timeless classic

per 100 km on the highway. It would take a lifetime of driving to see the payback of this motor, however, af-ter driving the two, I would

recommend the diesel. The diesel Grand Cherokee has 420 lb/ft of torque, avail-able low on the RPM range, coupled with the eight

speed transmission that changes gear quickly and always at the correct time. The great torque from the diesel V6 and transmis-sion complement the Jeep perfectly.

Pulling away from the lights, after just a brief moment, the diesel motor spools up, the torque is a strong and steady force pressing the Jeep forward. The added torque raises the towing capacity of the EcoDiesel to 7,200 lbs.

My tester was fitted with air suspension that gives you 95 mm of selectable travel in the suspension. It lowers automatically on the highway to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The maximum ride height is a respectable 275 mm, which is a hint at what the Grand Cherokee is capable of off road. The air suspension will also level out the vehicle if it’s heavily loaded.

Continued from page 15I took my tester through

its paces, driving it from rough downtown streets to rutted off-road tracks. It’s well suited to life in Manitoba, as nothing seemed to phase the comfortable and refined driving experience.

The 4x4 system in the Grand Cherokee has a low range and a slew of pro-grams that are optimized for certain conditions. For example, the “rock” setting puts the Jeep in low range, raises the ride height and sets up the differential, throttle response and traction control for rock crawling. There are several other off-road settings for other scenarios, as well as an “auto” mode that takes care of it all on the go for you.

The interior is well ap-pointed and well laid out. The controls used most, like climate control and radio, have clear, concise buttons and dials. More of the luxury appointments are controlled either by the 7” screen in the clus-ter or the 8.4” screen in the centre stack. All the stuff you expect from a luxury vehicle are found here, from a standard 506 watt (845 available) stereo to radar guided cruise control.

I give points to Jeep for not trying to wedge an un-usable third row of seating in the Grand Cherokee. Instead, you get a cavern-ous storage area behind the power rear lift gate. There is also a removable, rechargeable flashlight back there.

I was ready to walk away from the Jeep and talk about how something made by the Germans would be better – however the Grand Cherokee is made by people who know where this car needs to work. They made it well and it doesn’t feel like a compromise of utility over luxury. With the Grand Cherokee, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Well suited to Manitoba driving
