Letkeman Joins Honour Society

Written by Clayton Dreger on Wednesday, 26 November 2014 

Eugene Letkeman & Baseball Manitoba President Ken Sharpe

 Baseball is a game Eugene Letkeman has loved forever and a day.

It's because of that passion that Baseball Manitoba welcomed the long-time Altona Minor Baseball volunteer into the association's Honour Society this past weekend

Eugene Letkeman - Honour Society Inductee

A long-time volunteer in Altona, Eugene continues to be actively involved, be it coaching, announcing, field maintenance, or whatever needs to be done. He is a constant presence at the fields in Altona, helping in whatever capacity he can, being a positive influence on all he comes in contact with. This past season serves as an example of the annual commitment Eugene has to the community. He mowed the three diamonds all season, including the Western Canada Championships Altona hosted. He reconstructed the dugouts on all the fields and served as public address announcer and scorekeeper for provincial and western competitions. Field maintenance was not just limited to grass cutting, but also included raking and chalking the fields, and seeding and watering the diamonds.

Also, it what seems like an annual thing, he somehow also found time to be an assistant coach, this year for the Midget team. As a coach he is one that always encourages when others would have discouraged. Eugene always shows up to the diamond with a smile on his face and keeps that all the way through the games and practices. He is a fair, unbiased coach who respects his players and their talents. Eugene has a way with his players that made them feel extremely special and is always willing to work extra with the boys to help them with anything they need. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the game of baseball is evident, and there is always excitement in his voice when talking about ball. His teams have won championships, but more importantly Eugene is proud of the players he had the pleasure of coaching. 

Our sales team had a great time at the Altona Maroons game this past Saturday, November 22 … buying coffee and hot chocolate for a few hundred fans … and watching the Maroons rack up an impressive win over Notre Dame … the next home game is Thursday, December 11 when Winkler comes to town … we also drew for a few door prizes with Brad Voth and Jolanda Friesen the lucky winners … thanks to all who entered …

Jolanda Friesen of Altona was the winner of a Free basic detail package provided by our expert detail department … congratulations Jolanda!

Brad Voth of Altona was the winner of a HandleBand … a universal smartphone bike bar mount available at our MTS Connect store … congratulations Brad!

Another helpful tips for a safe winter drive...

Wiper Blades:

During the winter months, regular blades usually acquire a build-up of ice chips or frozen snow inside and around the blade resulting in streaks on your windshield and decreased visibility. Winter wiper blades are specially built to withstand snow and ice; they have a rubber or vinyl wrapping around the blade, blocking ice and snow from entering between the metal arms of the wiper; which means fewer streaks, less rust, less wear and tear and overall better visibility.

 

Helpful tip for a safe winter drive

Keeping Warm:

Stay in the car, wrap yourself up in a blanket and try not to overuse the heater. Over using the heater can kill the battery and, in some cases, let dangerous gases into the cabin. Keep a second set of gloves in the glove box and a set of clothes in your trunk. If your gloves or clothes get wet, change them quickly to prevent you from freezing.

Whether you’re a new driver or a seasoned pro, you’re bound to encounter some curveballs on the road. Here are five tips from General Motors to help ensure that your drive is a safe one: http://s.gm.com/LLl

Winter weather will be here soon … here are some winter driving tips to keep you and yours safe in the coming 5 months …

Winter Driving Tips

Winter driving can sometimes be a daunting task, especially when conditions are snowy or icy. If road conditions are dangerous, consider making alternate travel arrangements or postponing your trip until conditions improve.

Follow these steps to keep yourself safe and collision free during the next few blustery winter months.

Step 1: Make sure that your vehicle is prepared for winter driving.

• Winter tires are a good option, as they will provide greater traction under snowy or icy conditions.
• Keep a snow brush/scraper in your car, along with possible emergency items such as a lightweight shovel, battery jumper cables, and a flashlight.
• Make sure that mirrors, all windows, and the top of your vehicle, are free of snow or frost before getting onto the road.

Step 2: Drive smoothly and slowly

• Don’t make any abrupt turns or stops when driving. Doing so will often cause your vehicle to lose control and skid.
• Driving too quickly is the main cause of winter collisions. Be sure to drive slowly and carefully on snow and ice covered roads.

Step 3: Don’t tailgate.

• Tailgating becomes much worse in winter weather. Stopping takes much longer on snowy and icy roads than on dry pavement, so be sure to leave enough room between your vehicle and the one in front of you.

Step 4: Brake before making turns.

• Brake slowly to reduce speed before entering turns. Once you have rounded the corner you can accelerate again.

Step 5: Learn how to control skids.

• When skidding, you actually need to go against your natural instincts and turn into the skid and accelerate. Doing so transfers your vehicle’s weight from the front to the rear and often helps vehicles to regain control.

Step 6: Lights On.

• Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.

Step 7: No Cruise Control.

• Never use cruise control if conditions are snowy, icy, or wet, because if your car hydroplanes, your car will try to accelerate and you may lose control of your vehicle.

Step 8: Don’t “pump” the brakes.

• If your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock breaking system (ABS), do not “pump” the brakes. Apply constant pressure and let the system do its work.

Step 9: Pay attention.

• Manoeuvers are more difficult to make in the snow. Be sure to anticipate what your next move is going to be to give yourself lots of room for turns and stopping.
