“How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Suess

…So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear.

And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.

It started in low. Then it started to grow.

But the sound wasn't sad! Why, this sound sounded merry!

It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY!

He stared down at Whoville! The Grinch popped his eyes!

Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise!

Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small,

Was singing! Without any presents at all!

He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME!

Somehow or other, it came just the same!

And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,

Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?"

"It came with out ribbons! It came without tags!"

"It came without packages, boxes or bags!"

And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!

"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."

"Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”…

O Holy Night

O holy night!

The stars are brightly shining,

It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks

a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees!

O hear the angel voices!

O night divine,

O night when Christ was born;

O night divine, O night, O night Divine…

NAVID: On October

23, 2020, Judy (Mary

Pearl) Navid (nee Flem-

ing) passed away sud-

denly and unexpectedly

at home at the age of 74

years old. Judy

was born in Wawanesa

on March 2, 1946, the

oldest of four chil-

dren, to Doug and

Phoebe Fleming. Her family farmed in the

Wawanesa area and continues to do so today.

Judy enjoyed growing up on the farm; read-

ing, horseback riding, sewing and working

alongside her parents and siblings.

Judy completed her primary and high

school years in Wawanesa. Upon graduation,

she moved to Brandon to complete her Regis-

tered Nurse‟s Training, graduating in 1967.

She began her nursing career at Wawanesa

District Hospital. The later part of her nursing

career was completed at Glenboro Hospital.

She also picked up home care coordination

coverage from the Souris Hospital. When

many think of Judy, they remember her as a

nurse. That smile. Her laugh. Care, compas-

sion and actually listening and advocating

when something wasn‟t right with a patient.

Judy loved being a nurse and it showed.

Her strongest qualities shone through in her

work. The people she met in nursing school

and on the floor were some of her most treas-

ured friends. She will be remembered as a

loyal, trusted friend. She mentored many a

young nurse.

Judy met Harold Navid at a dance in

Lilyhill, MB., and the two married on Octo-

ber 8, 1967. In 1965, they purchased a farm

west of Wawanesa, where they raised

their family. In the early years, life cen-

tred around farming and family. Judy and

Harold enjoyed socializing with friends,

family, and attending various community

events. Judy and Harold had three daugh-

ters, Carla, Shawna and later in life,

Amanda.

Judy was dedicated and focused on

raising her family. She continually feath-

ered her nest, even with adult children.

She always knew how to tend to people

and their needs. She was strong, reliable,

and a great comfort to many, but most im-

portantly to her husband, daughters and

grandchildren.

In 2016, upon retirement, Judy and

Harold moved into Wawanesa to their cur-

rent house. Leaving the acreage was bit-

tersweet for Judy, after calling the farm

home for 48 years. But new memories

were also made in town.

Judy was thrilled to become a

grandmother and travelled at a moment‟s

notice to Arizona to be present in the de-

livery room for the births of each of her

grandchildren. Payton came first, followed

by Haven and Jai.

With the grandkids and Shawna in

Arizona, and the fact that Judy was not a

fan of Manitoba winters, Judy and Harold

spent many winters as snowbirds in Mesa.

Through their time in Greenfield Village,

they acquired some wonderful friends

from all across Canada and the States.

As you can imagine, when Judy left

us suddenly and unexpectedly, we were

lost without her steady direction and reas-

surance. Judy is survived by her loving hus-

band of 53 years, Harold; her three children

Carla (Pat), Shawna, Amanda (Ryan); three

grandchildren, Payton, Haven and Jai; her

siblings Allan (Debbie) Fleming, Donnie

(Audrey) Fleming and Sharon (Firmin)

Desrochers along with many nieces and

nephews and their families.

She was predeceased by her parents,

Doug and Phoebe Fleming and nephews

Michael Fleming and Deryck Desrochers.

A service to celebrate Judy‟s life was held

at the Wawanesa United Church in

Wawanesa on October 30, 2020 with a pri-

vate family interment taking place at

Wawanesa Cemetery.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions

currently in place for gatherings, the ser-

vice was limited to family members only.

The service is available to view online at

www.willmorchapel.com.

Memorial donations can be made in

Judy's memory to the Wawanesa Commu-

nity Foundation, Box 209, Wawanesa MB

R0K 2G0. Friends may sign the memorial

register book by emailing jamiesonsfuner-

[email protected] or call 204-827-2480 and

we will insert your name.

“Grief I have learned is really just

love. It‟s all the love you want to give but

cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in

the corners of your eyes, the lump in your

throat, and in the hollow part of your chest.

Grief is just love with no place to go”.

– Jamie Anderson

Gardeners The Gardeners have been thinking

ahead to next season's garden already and

we're happy to announce the colors for

2021: Lime Green with accents of White to

show off the green. And we'll add just a

touch of fuchia for fun! The hanging pots

should be quite showy next summer. We

thank you all once again for your support

in a very different and difficult 2020 and

look forward to a more hopeful spring in

2021, blooming with color and renewal.

December has us all thinking of Christ-

mas - even though it will probably be much

smaller, quieter, and lonelier than any cele-

brations in years past. While we all enjoy

the flower beds and pots around town in

the summer, in this time of socializing only

with our households, I'm thinking it would

be wonderful for us to admire and enjoy

Seasonal lights and decorations as we stroll

or drive about the village this winter. .

Let's "LIGHT UP Oakland-Wawanesa"

and spread some cheer in these strange

times that we're living through. Let's all put

up something in our yards and/or on homes

for our friends

and neighbors to

see and enjoy.

Let's have a

Merry Christmas!

May Kreklewich,

Merry Christmas. I know this isn‟t the

Christmas edition, but it is still worth saying.

No matter what is happening in our commu-

nity or country, Christmas day will still

come and we will still celebrate the birth of

our Saviour. We can still celebrate the fact

that God sent His Son to earth to offer hope

where there was none before. Jesus came to

take away our sins and redeem all those who

believe.

Memories of Christmas usually in-

clude thinking of “the good old days”. I re-

member watching the Christmas episodes of

The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie.

People didn‟t have much in those times but

they did the best they could with what they

had. I think it would be a good time to con-

nect with the older generation of our fami-

lies and learn from their experience. Appre-

ciate what we have when times are hard.

Mary and Joseph didn‟t have much

themselves, when asked to raise the Son of

God. Jesus came as a baby to bring light into

a dark world. He still is a light for us, in dark

uncertain times. John 8:12, When Jesus spoke

again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the

world. Whoever follows me will never walk in

darkness, but will have the light of life.” We are not able to gather in the church

building at this time, but the Sunday mes-

sage is available on the Treesbank Commu-

nity Church Facebook page. We will start at

10:00 am for the month of December.

Please follow our page, that you may

get updates if and when we can meet to-

gether. Our regular programs such as small

groups are postponed. The Community

Also, we are into December and time is

Lion for a ticket or call Lion Don at 204-

824-2457, Lion Bob at 204-573-6688 or, to

purchase by e-transfer, contact Lion Chris

at 204-761-8094. Draw date is December

18, 2020.

Profits from this draw go to the community.

Sometimes it supports a youth project like

the Peace Poster contest or the Lion Com-

munity Involvement Scholarship. Other

times it may help a family in need, contrib-

ute to the food bank or support local en-

deavours. In this COVID time, the Lions

Club needs your support. Please consider

buying a ticket or two.

The next date for the Handi-van trip to

way I can by phone, while still maintaining

social distancing.

Victoria Lifeline is your best choice for

peace of mind while living

comfortably in your own

home. Help can be there at the

touch of a button if needed.

Call for info. We can discuss

how it could be beneficial to you and a com-

fort for your family to know you are being

looked after 24/7. No new installations until

COVID restrictions permit, however.

homes for as long as possible.

I bet you‟ve noticed a change in the land-

scape! As many of you are aware, the com-

mission has started a project at the former

race track that surrounds the ball diamonds.

For a few years we have pondered what the

best option would be for this space that was

hard to maintain and a bit unsightly. The

ball diamond/ag grounds are getting used

more all the time, partly due to the fact that

our community lost a significant amount of

green space after the 2011 flood. We soon

realized the potential for this area and

started to have a real vision of how useful

this space could be all year round, with a lot

of hard work! We are fortunate enough to

receive funds through the Wawanesa Com-

munity Foundation from the Emergency

Community Support Fund. This funding is

specifically geared towards creating a safe

environment for people to enjoy some

physical activity outdoors. To date, we have

also received grants from Heritage Co-op

and Wawanesa Mutual, as well as private

donations.

The following is a list of things the Rec

Commission is considering including in the

green space:

A wide variety of well-established trees

Outdoor exercise/playground equipment

Walking trail

Sun Shade

Outdoor Fire Pit

If you have questions or suggestions about

the project, we would love to hear them. If

you are interested in contributing to it,

please contact Tracy @ 204-741-0421 or

Dustin @204-724-3988.

Thank you to Perry & Staff from

Wawanesa Backhoe and the Municipalities

of Oakland-Wawanesa and Glenboro-South

Cypress for their contribution of staff and

equipment to get the levelling completed.
