I quite prattle on about downsizing; the merits, my efforts and the necessity. In all that I harbour a secret 鈥� there are items in my home, on the shelves or tucked in cupboards that I am reluctant to part with. I wash them, I dust them and never re-arrange them. Three of the items have no history, with me.

Three weeks ago, I wrote about some of the challenges that are facing rural churches. It鈥檚 no secret that many are struggling to survive. Many more are on life support. God only knows how many of these churches will still be open five years from now.

Much like the local reaction to the Canada Day celebrations in Neepawa, Eoin Devereux finds himself conflicted on his opinion toward the lack of festivities. This week, he writes two separate editorials examining both sides of the argument he鈥檚 having with himself about it. You can read to other editorial, 'We failed at Canada Day.' at the attached link.

Every year on July 1, we as a nation take the time to celebrate being more than just America鈥檚 hat. (For the record, I prefer to believe that USA is in fact Canada鈥檚 pants, but that鈥檚 a discussion for another day.) There are displays of patriotism across the country, commemorating the day the Queen said it was okay for us to exist. These events range in size and grandeur, from the massive to humble鈥hen of course there is what Neepawa did.

Much like the local reaction to the Canada Day celebrations in Neepawa, Eoin Devereux finds himself conflicted on his opinion toward the lack of festivities. This week, he has written two separate editorials examining both sides of the argument he鈥檚 having with himself about it. The companion editorial 'Either lend a hand or get over it!' can be seen at the attached link.

Over the past few days, there has been a fair amount of reaction online to the simplicity of Neepawa鈥檚 Canada Day celebrations this year. Some people have said that having a low key event was not a big deal. Others have blasted the Town, especially online, for not putting on a grander spectacle. Now if you have been one of those people jumping in on this discussion, I have no doubt that you have likely said to yourself 鈥淗ey what does the local sports guy with the weirdly spelled first name think about all this?鈥�

Out in the community, I鈥檝e noticed a trend. Over the last four years, the rising interest in social issues among today鈥檚 youth is becoming hard to miss. This is good news and it gives me hope for the future of our communities.
