As this column is being written Tuesday morning, the federal government is scheduled to introduce the budget. Also scheduled for Tuesday night is the introduction of the Town of Neepawa budget. Both will generate a bit of interest but not nearly as much as they should.

Stay on your toes about common walking injuries

The welcomed warm weather and the anticipation of spring has many of us lacing up the shoes and heading outdoors. It is a common occurrence to see people out walking now that the snow is gone and the streets and roads are dry.

Walking is one of the safest and easiest forms of exercise. It is easier on the joints than many high impact activities, but is not a guaranteed pain free form of exercise. Certain muscles tend to be overused while others are minimally used while walking. A new injury can arise or an old chronic problem can resurface when starting out with a walking program.

Here are some common injuries that can occur.

There is a new canine on the block! Meeka is a retriever/lab cross. She is all puppy. When Meeka joined the household she was smaller than my fur people. Now, not so much! The play time is becoming more aggressive, provoked by any or all dogs. The growling is fierce, and the melee of moving energy astounding. So far no damage has been inflicted on anything or anyone. I rue the day when Meeka becomes too big for all four of us to cuddle on the sleeping chair. Right now, with a careful arrangement of limbs, Hoover, Miss Daisy, Meeka and I can all relax on the recliner and rest. I no longer need a blanket!

I spent the first four months of 1990 as 鈥淢inister in Residence鈥� at St. Giles鈥� Presbyterian Church of Prince George, BC. Their minister was away on medical leave; and I was asked to fill in for him. My duties were to staff the Minister鈥檚 office four mornings a week, visit congregants who were in hospital and preach at the Sunday morning services (they had two).

One Sunday, as I was preparing for the first service, the Chair of the Sunday Coffee Committee pulled me aside and said: 鈥淣eil, here is an announcement we would like you to make. It鈥檚 not earth shattering; but it鈥檚 important.鈥� Earth shattering鈥攏o. Earth saving鈥攄efinitely.

Not so silent E - Can't we all just get along? No. Okay then...Let's fight!!!

In my 10 plus years as a member of the media, I can honestly say I鈥檝e sat through some really boring municipal meetings in my time. If I had a dollar for every time I鈥檝e nearly dozed off during a school board or city council meeting in Brandon and Portage la Prairie, or even during town council meetings in Neepawa, well..I鈥檇 have enough money to buy a comfy pillow to rest my head on at these meetings and get some solid Z鈥檚.

Fortunately, the Apr. 7 edition of Neepawa Town Council was not one of them snoozers鈥�.Well, actually it was for the majority of its two hour and 37 minute run time. But for three minutes and 17 seconds, it went from mundane municipal deliberations to the verbal equivalent of a heavyweight title fight between Muhammad Ali and Smokin Joe Fraser.
