He also had a flare for art, which was evident when a new logo appeared on The Gazette on Dec. 1, 1949. Publisher Graham Barker offered no explanation as to its origin but after Larry and Jessie Bell bought the paper in June 1956, they contacted Alex for an explanation of his work, which Barker commissioned.

May has been a busy book month at the Neepawa Library! On May 10, we were fortunate to welcome Angela Misri, author of the Portia Adams mystery series. Angela was touring 水果视频 in conjunction with TD Canadian Children鈥檚 Book Week. Two classes of students from NACI came to the library to meet Angela and to hear how she finds inspiration to write her books. They kept her busy answering dozens of questions. She was very engaging and everyone enjoyed her visit.
