Neepawa Public Library鈥檚 newest employee is also one of Westman鈥檚 newest published authors. Lenora Buffi, who has been working at the local library for just over two months, has published her first novel: a sweeping historical mystery entitled Vista. Born in Steinbach, Man., and raised by two educators, Buffi says a love of the written word was passed on to her, and was a natural part of her childhood.
鈥淢y father [called himself] a 鈥榮esquipedalian鈥�: a lover of big words,鈥� she remembers fondly. 鈥淗e inspired me to love reading, to love learning, to love books and good literature, to love art and classical music, which is a huge component of this book.鈥�

All cabbages are rich in vitamin C and antioxidant compounds. To get the most nutritional value from cabbage the less it is cooked the better. A bonus with cabbage it is grown locally and a reasonable price year round.
