Uncle Neil in Churchill, MB
Uncle Cornelius (Neil) S. Kehler was asked to go to Churchill MB, to build a service station that would have two 10,000 gallon underground gas tanks. In a place like Churchill, this is a tricky task since there is either rock or sand under the surface, and the timing of the excavation must be very accurate, coinciding with the outgoing tide. This was a task he wanted to tackle and get it over with. The tanks and a large backhoe were on site, with the added advantage of the 20 hour a day, continuous sunshine – all was set to go.

A Kehler Brothers’ Ritual
Of all the Berliner Kehler’ children, David and Johan were the closest of all the brothers, and they visited each other on a regular basis. When John & Annie went to visit David & Helen Kehlers’ farm, the children would pile into the back of the car and off they’d go.
The antics were mostly the same, when John, Annie and their clan would arrive on the David Kehler yard. David and his family would be waiting outside. John would slow the car down and would step out, while the car was still rolling to a stop. Continue reading “A Kehler Brothers’ Ritual”

Mennonite Characters Grapple with Culture, Religion
A talented opera singer desperate for the chance to attend school in far-off Toronto; a defiant soldier flaunting his uniform at a Sunday service; a little boy illegally watching a hockey game from a rinkside tree—no matter how they differ on the surface, many of the characters populating Al Reimer’s fiction have something in common.

Al Reimer’s fiction pushes boundaries while clinging to tradition
A talented opera singer desperate for the chance to attend school in far-off Toronto; a defiant soldier flaunting his uniform at a Sunday service; a little boy illegally watching a hockey game from a rinkside tree—no matter how they differ on the surface, many of the characters populating Al Reimer’s fiction have something in common. They are outsiders in a community bound by tight cultural and religious rules.

On the evening of August 10, 1959, twenty-seven year old Henry P. Kehler went back to the jobsite he was working at Barkman Concrete, to pick up his jacket, which he had forgotten.

On the evening of August 10, 1959, twenty-seven year old Henry P. Kehler went back to the jobsite he was working at Barkman Concrete, to pick up his jacket, which he had forgotten.
He walked along a forming wall, something he did all the time. However, this time the forming wall gave way and Henry fell head first, his body twisted in the air and he landed on his back; a 3-4 foot piece of rebar piercing through his back and protruding out through his abdomen.
As Henry lay on the ground, the rebar through his body, he called out to God for help and relief. God granted his prayer, and he says the pain was much more bearable from that point on.
In 1959, there was no Medicare, so a group of construction workers put money together to help pay for Henry’s medical expenses of approximately $1,000. The amount accumulated until Ed H. Friesen presented him with $877.55. Continue reading “50 Years Ago…”
