Swimming program for children with disabilities ‘Making Waves’ in community

Making Waves, a non-profit swim program which provides one-on-one swimming instruction to children with disabili-ties, is proving its worth in the community.

The volunteer-run pro-gram, which originated in 2005 and has since branched out to Brandon earlier this year, has seen growth as more swimmers and volunteers are jump-ing on board to take part.

Madelyn Flood is the coordinator for Making Waves Brandon, which is a division of the Win-nipeg chapter that began in 2011. Flood, a graduate of University of Manitoba who will be taking educa-tion in the fall at Brandon University, volunteered her time with the Win-nipeg program last year and has seen first hand the growth the program has had over the past several months.

She says the Winnipeg program, which began with 10 swimmers and 10 volunteers, has since expanded to include three pools and approximately 250 swimmers. Making

Waves Brandon had its first session in the spring which included 30 young-sters. A fall program is scheduled to start in Sep-tember and Flood antici-pates approximately 45 swimmers participating.

“You can see that it’s re-ally taken off,” Flood told the Journal.

A payment of $20 for each child who partici-pates in the fall program goes to rental fees for pool time at the YMCA in Brandon. Flood says the program is really the only one of its kind in Brandon in that it doesn’t require the instructors to have wa-ter safety instructor cer-tificates.

“To become a lifeguard, there’s so many courses and they’re very expen-sive, so we’d never be able to find enough volunteers and we’d never be able to run the program the way that we run it,” Flood said. “We really just ask that you’re comfortable in the water, that you’re com-fortable with somebody else in the water, you like to have fun, you’re patient and you love working with kids.”

She says a training ses-sion takes place for all

volunteers prior to the first session. After volunteers sign up and get their feet wet, Flood says it can be very rewarding for anyone who decides to take part.

“You kind of watch some of the volunteers

and you notice that they’re a little unsure. Then you watch them after one or two lessons and they leave and they’re so excited and they’re so happy,” Flood said. “They build a lot of confidence in themselves

too.”The fall session is slated

to take place each Sunday starting Sept. 13. The pro-gram runs from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and wraps up on Nov. 22. Anyone who is interested in either becom-

ing a volunteer or want-ing to register your child, you can contact Flood by email at [email protected] or by phone at 204-841-4721.

Last year’s United Way campaign chair Cam Clark passes the ‘chair’ off to Tara Ashcroft at a media conference in Brandon last week.

Ashcroft named United Way campaign chair

After working as a sponsored executive in the United Way office four years ago, Tara Ash-croft will have an op-portunity to tap into her first-hand knowledge and experience.

Ashcroft was named the 2015 campaign chair for the United Way of Brandon, taking over from Cam Clark who headed the campaign the previous year.

“Finding a campaign chair each and every year is a significant chal-lenge,” said Cynamon Mychasiw, United Way of Brandon CEO. “We need to find someone who is fuelled by pas-sion and has the time and commitment to see the campaign through.”

Through the MTS loaned representa-tive program, Ashcroft worked in the local United Way office for 10 weeks in 2011 and had the opportunity to see first-hand what the staff and volunteers go through in trying to meet the campaign goals. She handled employee cam-paigns, planned events, and was a tremendous help in the office, ac-cording to a press release from the UW office.

“She has one of the best backgrounds a cam-paign chair can have,” Mychasiw added.

nouncement last week, Ashcroft says she’s hon-oured and humbled to work as this year’s chair for the organization that is “near and dear to my heart.”

She says her past expe-rience with the organiza-tion gave her insight into the wide range of people the United Way assists each year.

“We live in an amaz-ing community known for its healthy economy and comfortable life-style, but there is anoth-er side of Brandon and District that many of us may never see. It’s the Brandon where our co-workers, neighbours and friends struggle to meet their most basic human needs of putting food on the table, having a home to call their own, or be-ing able to afford trans-portation,” she said. “It’s the Brandon where lower income working families are spending more than 80 per cent of their in-come on rent or housing costs. It’s the Brandon where one out of every three individuals rely on the supports provided by the 24 partner agencies United Way invests in.

“The economic envi-ronment has changed the face of poverty, placing many people – people like you and me – in a po-sition they never expect-ed; needing a hand up so they can get back on a path of self-sufficiency, “ she added. “When it

comes right down to it, many of us who are quite comfortable today could literally be one step away from financial disaster or one day away from need-ing medical or emotional support. That is why we

need to see the value in United Way today – to ensure that the help any of us could need is there when we need it.”

The United Way in Brandon supports 24 or-ganizations in the com-

munity including Big Brothers and Sisters, Canadian Diabetes Asso-ciation D-camp Program, Brandon Community Drug and Alcohol Edu-cation Coalition – Youth Revolution, Canadian

Red Cross Society Smart Start and Beyond the Hurt and many more. For full details on the United Way and the organiza-tions it supports, please visit www.brandonuw.ca.

a conclusion that an in-creasing number of Cana-dians are already making.

Many Conservative supporters argue that the Duffy trial and the $90,000 payment are a distraction from what the decisive issue should be in this campaign but they are ignoring (and ask-ing voters to ignore) the more troubling questions that logically flow from Wright’s and Perrin’s tes-timony.

For example, if the Prime Minister’s se-nior staff is so willing to lie to Canadians about picayune issues like the repayment of Duffy’s expense claims, what about big issues? What

Sometime after Oc-tober 19, when we look back at the federal elec-tion campaign, will we say that last week was the tipping point in the cam-paign, or will we regard it as a tempest in a teapot that occurred before the real campaign even be-gan?

It’s a question that is obviously impossible to answer just three weeks into an 11-week cam-paign, but it is easy to get the sense that a num-ber of important things happened last week, and none of them were good for the Conservatives’ re-election hopes. At the top of the list is the testimo-ny of Nigel Wright and Benjamin Perrin during the criminal trial of Tory Senator Mike Duffy. Both Wright and Perrin are for-mer staffers in the Prime Minister’s Office.

For several days, Wright provided a portrait of a PMO that placed higher priority on protecting Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conser-vative Party from embar-rassment than on being honest with the Canadian public. One of the most memorable aspects of his testimony was his asser-tion that having Duffy claim he reimbursed tax-payers for questionable expense claims made by him, when he (Wright)

had actually funded the reimbursement, did not amount to a “bad misrep-resentation.”

Was Wright saying that lying to the public is per-missible when it serves the interests of the PM and his party? That’s cer-tainly the way it has been interpreted in the media.

Perrin’s evidence es-tablished that numerous senior PMO staff were aware that it was Wright, not Duffy, who was fund-ing the reimbursement. That’s a problem for Harper, who has consis-tently insisted, including in response to questions in the House of Com-mons, that he was never told it was Wright who had paid the money.

In other words, the most hands-on Prime Minister in Canadian his-tory expects Canadians to believe his most-trusted advisors deliberately kept him in the dark for more than two years, allowing him to give answers they knew were untrue.

Harper has to take that position because the al-ternative would be ad-mitting that he knew all along that Wright had bankrolled the reimburse-ment, and that he has lied about it for more than two years. The PM will never make that admission – it would destroy his hopes of re-election – but it is

else have they lied to us about? Were the lies about Duffy the actions of rogue staffers, or did they reflect a PMO value system created, managed and enforced by the Prime Minister himself?

The Conservatives want voters to cast their ballots based upon who they trust most to lead the country through economic and national security chal-lenges, but the campaign may be evolving into one in which the ballot box question simply asks Ca-nadians which leader and party they trust most. If

that happens, the Tories could be in trouble.

Indeed, an Abacus Re-search poll released last week revealed that Harp-er’s negative ratings have risen by 12 per cent since last December, while pos-itive ratings for both NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau have increased sharply.

The poll also found that both Mulcair and Trudeau “score more positively than Mr. Harper on 8 of the 12 dimensions: Prin-cipled, ethical, honest, accountable, good ideas,

good heart, understands people like you, inter-esting. . . Mr. Harper’s best scores are for being smart, tough, and ready to be PM. His scores are much lower for being honest, accountable, and understanding people like you.”

When Stephen Harper launched the campaign, it appeared to be his to lose. Just three weeks later, there is a growing sense that he is doing just that. He has eight weeks to change course, but he has his work cut out for him.

OPINIONOPINIONLetter: Temporary bridge closure causing stress for manyLetter in response to

“Report reveals more work needed to repair 8th Street bridge” on pg. 1 of Journal (Vo. 14, No. 20).

As a group, north end people are pretty easy go-ing, but ask any of us about the 8th Street bridge and the conversation immediately becomes quite animated.

Maintenance of this bridge has not been seen as a priority. As with all con-struction, costs have grown considerably and our city elders cringe at the the pros-pect of replacement/recon-struction. It is to be noted that none of these folks ac-tually live in our area, so are not directly affected by this vital link connecting the downtown to the north end.

Making it a foot bridge serves only to keep people from crossing the CPR tacks illegally. A traffic sur-vey conducted in August 2011 stated that approxi-mately 3,500 vehicles used the bridge daily. I think this is a significant num-ber. As a progressive city, we should be encouraging the ease with which we can travel from point A to point B rather than creat-

ing road blocks and causing additional stress to existing travel routes.

Construction on the First Street bridge may or may not cause problems for those who use it regularly, but if people think 18th Street from the university to the Thompson bridge is a problem now, it is a cake walk compared to the night-mare it will become during construction of the four lane overpass. McDonald Avenue has already be-come the ‘route of choice’ for much of the traffic with both passenger and delivery vehicles traveling from the west and southwest to the north hill.

As a preview, while the overpass was being resur-faced at the beginning of last week, even more driv-ers chose to avoid the over-pass and race along Mc-Donald instead. Since the 26th Street railway cross-ing is on the main CPR line, the crossing is blocked frequently by a train thus causing a traffic backlog down 26th Street and along McDonald to at least 22nd Street North (a minimum of five blocks). The lengthy

backlogs are happening with increasing regularity. Then there are the jerks that can’t wait in line like every-one else and dart down the back lane only to force their way out into traffic at 26th.

Someone is going to be seriously injured or worse by one of these speedsters. Of equal importance, how are emergency vehicles sup-pose to navigate this night-mare? Remember when we were promised that emer-gency vehicles would have 8th Street bridge to use in case of an accident?

A sound off contributor recently drew attention to the fact that seniors who must use taxis to travel to downtown appointments now face the additional costs involved in traveling to 18th Street then back. To those still earning a good wage, the extra $5 each way may not seem like much, but to those living on a pen-sion it can be significant.

Surely spending the better part of the day trying to use our transit service to get to and return from an appoint-ment at or near the hospital would frustrate anyone. The same goes for those travel-

ing to weekly functions at our churches or one of our four halls. Construction of the Ashley Neufeld ball park along with the exist-ing diamonds on 14th Street North will increase the need for easy access from the east. We encourage devel-opment, let’s not inhibit its prosperity.

Just because those who will ultimately ‘make’ the decision won’t have

to physically ‘live’ with it, doesn’t mean that they should not give total open-minded consideration to the long term results of their actions. Recently, a deci-sion was made to save the widely recognized and ap-preciated water tower in the east end. Is it practical? Not really, but I agree that it has historic and sentimen-tal value and is great ‘eye candy’. Sometimes, we just

have to do the impractical and jump in with both feet to do the right thing.

The temporary bridge closure has caused a good deal of stress to the resi-dents of this area and we are currently holding our collective breath in antici-pation of being reconnected to the downtown and east-ern portions of the city.

tes has become an epidem-ic. The Canadian Diabe-tes Association estimates that 3.3 million people in Canada, or nine per cent of the population, have diabe-tes. This could rise to 4.8 million or 11.8 per cent by 2024.

With those kinds of numbers, if you’re not someone who is diabetic, odds are you know some-one with diabetes. Fortu-nately, with proper moni-toring and testing, diabetes can be managed and the risk of complications can be reduced.

The most common type of testing is self-monitor-ing of blood glucose or blood sugar. This involves a home blood glucose test-ing meter. Most of these are now the same size or smaller than your average cell phone and can be car-ried with you everywhere. Basic ones give you your

current result and keep a record of past tests that you can scroll through. More sophisticated ones track trends in your results, can record whether the reading was done before or after you ate, tell you if your results are high or low, can be connected to your com-puter to upload results and some even talk for the vi-sually impaired.

No matter which type you have, the thing about home blood glucose me-ters is this: they only work if you use them. I know this sounds pretty obvi-ous but some people still seem hesitant to test their blood sugar regularly. If this is you, talk to your healthcare professional whether it’s your doctor, your diabetes educator or your pharmacist. The next time you’re refilling your diabetes medication and your pharmacist asks if everything has been going

well just say, “you know, I really don’t like testing be-cause…” If you’re wimpy like me and think it just plain hurts to poke your finger, we can talk about some options you can use. If it’s a price issue, we can talk about that too. The meters are free but let’s face it, those test strips can be expensive. Most insur-ance companies pay for testing supplies and we can make sure that you have signed up for a Pharmacare deductible with Manitoba Health. We can also talk about how often and when you should be testing.

Make a plan. Sit down with your healthcare pro-fessional and customize a plan for you. Treating and monitoring diabetes is a very ‘individual thing’. It depends on your age, your fitness and activity level. It also depends on your other health issues, such as heart disease, whether you’re

using diet and exercise to control your diabetes or taking medication or using insulin and many other fac-tors. If you get sick or have a change in medication, you may need to test more often. The important thing is to have a plan and stick to it. Whether you have to test multiple times a day or a few times a week, do it regularly and when you go to your doctor’s appoint-ment or to your pharmacy take that meter with you so your doctor or pharmacist can see the results.

So what’s this A1C thing? A1C is the abbre-viation we use for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C). When you are sent to the lab for diabetic blood test-ing, this is one of the tests they do. It really is like a report card; the result it gives shows an average of your blood sugar levels over the past few months. The current recommen-

dations are to set an A1C goal. Again, depending on all of those factors listed above, this will be a very individual goal specific to you. It’s also a very im-portant goal. When you’re sitting down with your healthcare provider, make sure you set that A1C goal. This is the big picture of how well your blood sugar levels are controlled over time and that is what is going to determine your health down the road.

In the treatment of dia-betes, we’re playing the long game. Uncontrolled diabetes can contribute to many future health prob-lems such as eye disease, heart disease, kidney dis-ease and nerve damage. It is important to test regular-ly so that you know what is happening right now so that we can work to pre-vent these things from hap-pening. If the results you are getting at home aren’t

within the goals that you have set, something about your treatment plan may need to be changed.

Maybe it’s your diet, or your activity level or your medication dose. Go to your healthcare profes-sional and talk about what needs to be done to fix it.

The A1C test is a way of looking back at how well we’ve done over the past few months at smoothing out the bumps in the road as they happened and if we have all done our part, we can achieve those A1C goals.

Keystone Centre presents a fi ve-year capital plan

Running and maintaining a facility the size and scope of the Keystone Centre is no easy task.

At a recent Brandon city council meeting, Neil Thomson, general manager of the facility, presented a fi ve-year capital plan for the facility.

“We are trying to proactively plan for regular repairs and maintenance on the facility,” Thomson said. The request includes $2 million in funding each year for the next fi ve years to maintain the 500,040 square-foot facility.

While the majority of the items on the list include what Thomson describes as “ongoing maintenance” there are some items that would possibly generate additional revenue

for the facility.An outdoor stage on the facility

grounds is more than 40 years old and currently consists of a roof made with a tarp.

“Upgrades to the stage could potentially attract new revenue,” Thomson said, sighting rentals for concert events as a possibility.

“If the area was jazzed up, there is the opportunity to rent it for outdoor weddings as well,” he added. “With the facility right there, we’d also have the option to cater these events.”

When creating the fi ve-year plan for the Keystone Centre, Thomson says a number of factors came into play such as increased revenue, cutting costs, safety issues and code requirements.

The plan has been submitted to the

two funding partners of the facility, namely the City of Brandon and the province. Historically, the partners have paid 50/50 for costs associated with the centre unless federal government money was available, at which time, the bills were cut in thirds. While repairs have been covered in the past, the proposal takes more of a proactive approach.

Thomson is hopeful that by requesting the funding in the format it was presented last week, council will agree to the proposal.

“We want to get into the planning cycle for next year’s budget,” he said.

Council’s decision will be made through the regular budgeting process in coming months.

Part of the Keystone Centre fi ve-year plan includes a proposed outdoor stage on facility grounds.

BUS prez hopeful ‘Crash the Courtyard’ is a hit

Since elected to take over as Brandon Univer-sity Students Union presi-dent, a mandate for Aaron Thompson was for the union to be more fiscally responsible.

Enter: Crash the Court-yard. An upcoming mu-sic festival Thompson is touting as being more student-centric. The event will be held on campus at Kavanagh Courtyard and it replaces the well-known Rock the Block event, held off-campus,

which took a substantial financial hit last year in the neighbourhood of $45,500.

Another loss of that magnitude was not going to be tolerated this year, says Thompson.

“We’re spending stu-dent money,” he said. “Last year from what I’m aware of is that there was a large loss taken upon the student union. That’s not OK with me.”

The music festival, which takes place Sept. 18, will feature country singer Aaron Pritchett as its headliner as well as

popular student bands such as Odd Man Out and Man Alive. Similar to Rock the Block, food and alcohol will also be served at the event.

Thompson and the rest of the BUSU members are taking a wait and see approach with the up-coming event. He says he isn’t ruling out a return of Rock the Block in the future.

“It’s not like we nailed the coffin shut or any-thing,” he said. “If Crash the Courtyard is ridicu-lously successful, we might be able to continue


with that. If we find that it might not work in this particular area, I’m sure the next council might be bringing Rock the Block back in a different or a new way.”

If Crash the Courtyard is indeed successful, Thompson also hinted at the possibility of more headliners in the future.

“It’s for students and if it is successful, I’m sure that you’re going to see multiple headliners. But that’s for future years. For this year, we’re very ex-cited to get the bands that we did and I’m super ex-

cited for what the future holds for it to be honest.”

The event is for folks 18-and-over. Students are also reminded to bring their student ID as well as their government-issued ID as well. For students, tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. For everyone else, it will be $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

Old world wines? New world wines? It would be incorrect to refer to them as one or the other. Slovenian wines are best described as bridging the gap between both the old and the new world.

Slovenia’s winemaking history dates back over 2,400 years. This country’s political history has had signifi cant impact on Slovenia’s wine history. Prior to Slovenia gaining in-dependence in 1991, the vineyards of this area were expropriated by the communist government. During the period between expropriation and in-dependence, much of the wine-mak-ing expertize and traditions were lost.

Both international grape varieties and approximately 30 indigenous va-rieties are planted in Slovenia where 21,000 hectares of vineyards are re-sponsible for the production of one million hectoliters (one hectoliters equals 100 litres) of wine annually. The majority of which is domestically

bodied, with high levels of acidity. All were fresh, lively and refreshing, and ranged in hue from water-white with a hint of green to very pale straw yellow. The seventh was a lush and decadent Muscato. Fragrant, medium-bodied and sweet, this wines’ acidity struck a perfect balance with the residual sugar. The fi nal wine was a Sauvi-gnon Blanc from 1981. A Sauvignon Blanc with this much age is unheard of (unless

Slovenian wines: bridging the gap between old and newconsumed. Slovenia has re-established wineries, both independent and co-ops. White wine production accounts for over 70 per cent of total wine produc-tion although not so many years ago it was responsible for 97 per cent. Al-though the majority of wine is domes-tically consumed, Slovenian wineries continue to work towards developing a strong international market. Currently, the most important export markets are the United Kingdom, Bosnia-Herze-govina and the U.S.A..

New techniques, up-to-date equip-ment and an infusion of dedicated, young wine professionals has increased the quality of Slovenian wine. Some wines have received world-wide recog-nition despite the fact that many vines are under seven years of age (older vines make better wines).

Slovenia has three major wine-mak-ing regions that are further divided into 14 sub-regions. The majority of Slove-nian wines are produced in the northeast-ern region of Podravje, where Slovenia borders Austria, Croatia and Hungary. The fi nest white wines are made in this region, produced from the white grape varieties Laški Rizling, Chardonnay, Traminer(Gewurztraminer),

Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Fur-mint, and Sylvaner.

I recently attended a session on Slo-venia where I was able to taste eight wines – all of them white wines. Sau-vignon Blanc (single-varietal and blends), Furmint, Pinot Grigio(single-varietal and blend), and Moscato. Six of the eight dry table wines were recent vintages. These white wines were light-

someone forgot about it in the cellar) as most wines made from Sauvignon Blanc are consumed within a few years of production. The wine showed beautifully. Acidity was less than the more recently produced examples, but despite this, the aged wine remained vibrant and revealed herbal and stone fruit qualities.

Many Slovenian vineyards are planted on terraced sites. Such vine-yards are diffi cult and expensive to work but so stunning that they may soon be granted UNESCO heritage site status.

My search of the MLCC product site shows one Slovenian wine, Jeru-zalem Ormoz Renski Rizling, priced at $10.08. I have not sampled this wine but I do intend to. Unfortunately, although it’s listed on the website, it’s not available at any Brandon loca-tions.

Evolution not revolution: Why re-invent the wheel?Sometimes it just makes sense to go with

the flow. After all, considering how policy works

in small towns, someone was probably di-rected to spend five figures on a consultant to develop a winning formula. How are you going to improve on that by going a radically different direction?

I find myself thumbing through a lot of travel booklets as my schedule takes me to new places. Especially now, as marketing and tourism are pillars of my daily work, I am always looking at the format and con-tent that other places are using to attract new visitors.

It’s important to remember that these publications are developed to represent a community when a spokesperson isn’t on hand to narrate the highlights. These bro-chures or magazines need to stand alone – that they’re strong enough in their imag-ery and language to inspire interest from people that have never heard of your town before.

I’ve seen a lot of variations of ideas, but it comes down to a few basic elements and clearly identified categories if you want to grab someone’s attention immediately. It’s a two-tiered battle out of the gate. First, you need to ignite their curiosity strong enough for them to pick it up and open it, then you have to deliver content that tells them they’d better hold onto this and take it with them for more in-depth exploration.

The Cover. Whether you’re publishing a brochure or a full-sized magazine, your cover will be among dozens, if not hun-dreds, of our similar publications. If you want to stand out from the pack, this is where it’s most vital to do so.

Attractions and events. Why should they come to your community? Do you have something they’re looking for? Showcas-ing the widest scope possible is important to speak to the varied interests of the public you’d like to attract.

Where to stay? Once you’ve piqued their interest, especially if they’re com-

ing from a distance, you want them to stay overnight. Direct them.

Where to eat? Behind accommoda-tion, the next concern for visitors is where they’ll eat.

What warrants a deeper look? Maybe your community has an intriguing history or is home to an activity or attraction that must be seen in person to be appreciated? Once you’ve drawn them in once, maybe you can bring them back to move in.

Photographs. There is a great value in hiring a professional photographer and sharing your vision to get the shots you need. It’s not as straight forward as point and click. In some cases, it’s not the land-scape itself, but also the emotion of the people as they experience that environ-ment.

Whatever direction you want to go cre-atively after that is determined by your strategic direction. Promoting your com-munity to new residents, budding entrepre-neurs, make sure you frame the opportunity

for growth, which can be as individual as each town itself.

Remember, if you’re going to com-mit money to print, and every community should, make sure that every page is selling something of value. Your content must stir the reader and compel them to visit and ex-plore even further. Is your visitor guide do-ing a good job of selling your community? If not, don’t re-invent the wheel, but set to work on a tested model that will help you to get the job done.

Sabor Latino opens in Wheat City

Call it a dream come true for Ana Bel-tran and Helder Riano.

The immigrant couple from Columbia recently opened their own restaurant in Brandon, Sabor Latino, which offers au-thentic Latin American cuisine.

“We are pretty new in this business,” Beltran said. “We talked about it the first day we met. We wanted to do something for the both of us.”

The restaurant, which opened earlier this month, includes traditional cuisine from Mexico, Honduras, Columbia and El Salvador. Staples to the menu include pupusas, tacos and empanadas. All food that is served is homemade.

“What we want to do is showcase our cultures,” she said. “It’s about us and

who we are.” Sabor Latino, which translates to

“Latin flavour” is located in Renais-sance Station, 457 Ninth St.

Beltran says she’s pleased with the response from the community since the restaurant opened.

“It’s been busy everyday,” she added with a smile.

The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Terry Fox Run survives for another year in Brandon

After a period of uncertainty, the Terry Fox Run will be taking place this year in the Wheat City.

The run, which takes place in lo-cations all over Canada in support of cancer research, was in danger of be-ing cancelled earlier this year unless an organizer was found to spearhead the event. That’s not going to be the case however as Marty Minshull and a dedicated organizing committee back-ing him have since taken on the event and will bring back the run for its 25th year in Brandon.

Minshull says the Journal story published in June regarding the un-certainty of the Terry Fox Run played a key role in him coming on board to organize the well-known event.

“We’ve put together a committee and the group of us have had a good response from the community in terms

of volunteers,” he told the Journal. The event, which takes place Sept.

20, will include Tim Horton’s which will supply coffee for those participat-ing as well as Citizens on Patrol as the community organization will patrol the crosswalks for all participants.

Minshull is hoping for more partici-pants than last year’s event, which saw approximately 30 people take part.

The event kicks off at 10 a.m. at the Assiniboine Community College Vic-toria Avenue East Campus. Folks can take part in the five kilometre route scheduled or they’re welcome to do the route twice (10 kilometre run).

The Terry Fox Run is celebrating 35 years since Fox made Canadian histo-ry with his Marathon of Hope, inspir-ing Canadians and bringing attention to the necessity of research in the fight against cancer.

To register or to sponsor a partici-pant for the Terry Fox Run in Bran-don, go online to www.terryfox.org.

Western Canada Summer Games review

Brandon’s Sarah Blaikie was excited to earn the opportunity to compete in judo at the 2015 Western Canada Summer Games.

The experience became even sweeter when the 17-year-old won a bronze medal at the prestigious event, which ran Aug. 7-16 in Wood Buffalo, Alta.

The 10-day long Summer Games fea-tured 2,500 athletes in 18 sports and drew more than 14,000 guests, including fami-lies, coaches, officials, and media.

“It meant so much to me and I’m very happy with what I got and I’ve surprised myself about it,” Blaikie said about win-ning bronze.

Blaikie and other area athletes helped Manitoba win the province’s most medals ever. Team Manitoba won 37 more medals than their previous best Summer Games and finished third among the seven prov-inces and territories.

The Keystone province contingent gath-ered 48 gold, 47 silver and 49 bronze med-als.

Blaikie says she enjoyed competing, watching the high level judo and cheering on her teammates. Other athletes raved about the opening and closing ceremonies. Pipestone’s John Patmore, who helped Team Manitoba win the bronze medals in baseball, enjoyed being around other top caliber athletes.

“What I enjoyed most about the Games was getting a chance to play at a higher level, and seeing the competition from the other provinces. It was also nice to know that everyone at the Games have the same drive you do in their respective sports.”

Blaikie and fellow Brandon Judokan student Melody Kroeker of Harding each brought home a bronze medal.

“Sarah and Melody both really enjoy judo,” local instructor Patrick Johanneson said. “They’re always smiling at the club and in tournaments. They’re hard workers and are eager to learn.”

At the Summer Games, Brandon was well represented in indoor volleyball. Dan-ielle Larocque and Kelsey Jordan repre-sented the Wheat City on the female team, whose coaching staff included Brandon University women’s head coach Lee Cart-er and former BU standout Sara Grona.

The men’s side included Brandon’s Seth Friesen and Cole Tokaryk. The women’s team also featured Westman products Car-men Ross of Virden and Russell’s Karissa Zimmer and team manger Lisa Whyte of Carberry. Chayse Warkentin of Gladstone was a member of the men’s team. Both the men’s and women’s squads finished fourth at the Summer Games.

“It was an amazing feeling being able to put on a jersey with Manitoba’s name on it,” Ross said. “Going into the Games knowing that we had a whole province be-hind us cheering us on really helped me play to my full potential. Manitoba was also super supportive of each other. Dif-ferent teams would go to other events and cheer each other on.”

Brandon’s Taylor Goodon competed at the Summer Games in artistic gymnastics. The Brandon Eagles Gymnastics student placed 16th in the all-around and sixth in the uneven bars.

The bronze medal winning men’s base-ball team included Westman products Pat-more, Nicholas Kuharski of Neepawa, and the Dauphin duo of Brandon Racette and Rhéal Letain. Also, Hamiota’s Joelle Little competed in various solo, double and four kayaker races and earned a bronze medal with her four-person kayak team in the 200-metre sprint.

Meanwhile, female triathlete Payton Ryz of Austin brought home three medals from Wood Buffalo. She helped the female relay team to a gold medal, earned a silver herself in the individual race and a silver in the mixed team relay.

Other results included Erickson’s Bobbi Uhl who helped Team Manitoba win the silver medal in the team competition. In individual play, Uhl placed 12th. Glen-bro’s Zach Wytinck played a role in Mani-toba capturing the bronze medals in team play. He was 10th in individual action.

Neepawa’s Amy Todoruk, and Alexis Huggart of Treherne helped the provincial softball team to a fourth-place finish. In track and field, Neepawa ‘s Daniel He-schuk placed seventh in the 5,000 meter run and eighth in the 3,000. Also on the track, Jessica Gundrum of Swan Lake was 10th in the 400 hurdles and 11th in the 100 hurdles. Pilot Mound’s Avery McLean rep-resented Manitoba in the female 200-me-ter backstroke and 100-meter breaststroke.

The Neepawa Natives Junior A hockey club has created a new initiative, Harvest for Hockey, to help support the operations of its organization and growth of its hockey team.

The Harvest for Hockey concept depends on the support of Neepawa and area farmers with this year’s crop being canola. During the harvest season, the Neepawa Natives will have a truck rented. During harvest, farmers will commit to donating an amount of bushels of canola to the Neepawa Natives and, when the farmer is harvesting, they will contact the Neepawa Natives. The Natives will then drive to the fi eld, and the farmer can use their hopper to donate the preferred amount of canola bushels to the Harvest for Hockey project.

“The Neepawa area has a vibrant farming community, and the Neepawa Natives are looking forward to making partnerships with area farmers and

farming groups to promote farm families’ positive infl uences on the community while ensuring the Neepawa Natives organization thrives in the coming seasons,” states a release issued by the team.

All of the participating farmers and farming families will be recognized on signage at the Yellowhead Arena, as well as online on the club’s offi cial website.

There are also plans for a Harvest for Hockey Game Night early in the season (following harvest season) where the club will be recognizing the contributors as well as extending free gate admission to all of the participating Harvest for Hockey farmers and farming families.

To become a 2015 Neepawa Natives Harvest for Hockey supporter, or if you have further questions, please contact Cam Tibbett at (204) 841-3060.

Fun ‘Fore’ Everyone!


‘Let’s make a deal’ propels Blue JaysAlex Anthopoulos got

the hearts of Toronto Blue Jays fans fluttering when he acquired Troy Tulow-itzki from the Colorado Rockies a few days before the Major League Base-ball trading deadline, but the overriding sentiment was this: Why would the game’s most powerful of-fensive team that’s short on pitching go out and acquire one of the game’s top 10 offensive players?

The Tulowitzki trade, which also brought aging reliever LaTroy Hawkins to Toronto and sent Jose Reyes and three young prospects to Denver, was merely the first shoe to drop. Two days later, the

second shoe dropped — and its thump reverber-ated across Canada. David Price, a lefthander who won the Cy Young award for Tampa Bay in 2012, was acquired in a ‘rental’ deal, costing the Jays a couple more of their prized prospects.

Jays’ fans are ecstatic: “Thank You Santapolous,”

read one sign in the almost-constantly jam-packed Rogers Centre.

With those two deals, Anthopoulos was basically saying it’s now or never for the Blue Jays, who haven’t made the playoffs since 1993, the year they won their second consecutive World Series champion-ship. It’s the longest non-

playoff drought in baseball and if it continues in 2015 after those two deals, it might be another 20 years before the Jays are ready to contend again.

Price, whose winning debut at Rogers Centre was watched by more than 50,000 fans in the stadium and another few million on TV across Canada, will be a Jay only until the end of this season, when he becomes a free agent. It’s possible, of course, that the Jays could re-sign him, but it would cost them multiple millions over a long term, say, $130 mil-lion over seven or eight years. Foolish money for a pitcher who could be one pitch away from an injured shoulder or elbow.

The Jays’ offence, though, is something to behold. With Tulowitzki, Josh Donaldson, Jose Bau-tista, Edwin Encarnacion and Russell Martin, it’s a 21st Century version of Murderer’s Row. Even half-decent pitching is apt to win 65 per cent of the time with an offensive line-up as powerful as manager John Gibbons sends out daily. Now that 20-year-old closer Roberto Osuna and the rest of the Toronto bullpen has shaped up (the Jays’ post-all-star-game ERA is among the best in

baseball), this is a team seemingly without a hole. A lengthy August win streak temporarily pulled the Blue Jays into first place ahead of New York Yankees.

No matter what the Leafs do this fall, October is almost guaranteed to be baseball season in The Big Smoke.• Headline at SportsPick-

le.com: “Broken jaw to force Geno Smith to miss 18 — 30 turn-overs.”

• Swiss rower Katharina Strahl, to AP, on Brazil’s polluted venue: “I don’t think in this lake they’ll be throwing the cox-swain into the water.”

• Marlins manager Dan Jennings, to reporters, on his team’s dismal season: “Thank God there’s no Prohibition in baseball.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Some memes inspired by the rap movie “Straight Outta Compton” mak-ing the Internet rounds: “Straight Outta Compe-tition” (Ronda Rousey); “Straight Outta Chanc-es” (Aldon Smith); “Straight Outta Air” (Tom Brady); “Straight Outta Run Plays” (Se-ahawks).

• Comedian Argus Ham-

ilton, on Bridgestone winner Shane Lowry wearing six sponsors’ logos on his golf appar-el: “When he held up the trophy, he looked like the only man to ever win at both Firestone and Daytona.”

• RJ Currie of Sports-Deke.com, after a dog in Arkansas somehow survived despite swal-lowing 23 bullets: “One problem: His hair keeps coming out in bangs.”

• Late-night funnyman Conan O’Brien: “Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams are the highest paid female athletes in the world. After hearing this, Ronda Rousey beat them up and took their money.”

• Comedy writer Terry Et-ter: “Jets’ quarterback Geno Smith suffered a broken jaw when he was punched by a teammate, linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali. Apparently, Enemkpali became frus-trated when he couldn’t pronounce ‘Smith.’”

• RJ Currie again: “Ac-cording to the Daily Mail, for over 1,000 years The Great Wall of China has been in a con-stant state of rebuilding. ‘See?’ said the Chicago Cubs.”

Operation Red Nose hosting golf tournament

Grab your clubs and some friends and plan to attend the annual charity golf tournament in support of Operation Red Nose.

In the spirit of the organization which provides safe rides home during the holi-day season, the group is once again of-fering a day out with friends and rides to and from the course.

“What better way to spend the day than enjoying a fun day of golf where the score doesn’t matter, having a nice meal and getting a ride home from the event,” says organizer Gladden Smith.

The tournament will take place at Sunnyside Golf Club on Aug. 29 with a shotgun start at noon. The tournament is open to golfers of all skill levels with a four person, best ball format.

Contests at designated holes through-out the course will add to the fun, in-cluding three hole-in-one competitions

with additional prizes. Cost to attend the event is $60 per player and includes golf, supper and rides to and from the course if those registered so choose.

This is the fifth year the group has hosted the tournament as summer draws to an end and the holiday season ap-proaches. Operation Red Nose runs on Friday and Saturday nights from the end of November to Dec. 31.

“Each year, we give about 460-475 rides to people in the community,” Smith said.

Run by a team of about 200 volun-teers, the campaign is a safe alternative for folks who have been consuming al-cohol at parties during the holiday sea-son.

Smith estimates that safe rides have been offered in Brandon for the past 15-20 years through various organizations and ongoing community support.

If you would like more information on the tournament or Operation Red Nose, please contact Smith at 204-570-3557.

share space at the Cultural Resource Centre for two days a month, beginning in September. Currently, the Cultural Resource Centre houses the Brandon plan-ning and building safety department’s “Brandon Design Studio” public out-reach programming and also serves as a commu-nity meeting space when needed.

“Having the Manitoba Arts Council here in our building promotes educa-

tion about the arts in our province and in our city and provides cultural sup-port,” said City of Brandon Community Development Manager Esther Bryan in a release. “Through this kind of partnership, we are transforming our Cultural Centre into a vibrant meet-ing place that brings re-sources and programming right into the heart of our community.”

The project is an impor-tant piece of City of Bran-

don’s community engage-ment initiatives as well as the Manitoba Arts Coun-cil’s mission of promoting, preserving, supporting, and advocating for the arts as essential to the quality of life of all the people of Manitoba.

“We are very pleased to open an office in down-town Brandon that will help us serve all of Mani-toba and bring MAC closer to the region’s arts and cultural community,” said

MAC executive direc-tor Douglas Riske. “This office brings MAC’s re-sources and expertise into the heart of the City of Brandon to better support local artists and arts orga-nizations in the Brandon and Westman region.”

The Manitoba Arts Council will hold office hours for consultations and meetings in the Cultural Resource Centre on the third Thursday and Friday of each month. A grand

opening reception will be held Wednesday, Sept. 16, with details to follow. For information about MAC, visit www.artscouncil.mb.ca.
