Over the past few weeks, I have been noting some news items that seem strange to say the least. It is becoming more difficult to sort out truth from fiction.

It鈥檚 a well known fact that if something isn鈥檛 growing, it鈥檚 dying. It鈥檚 true for people, animals, businesses, organizations, cities, towns and municipalities. People and animals all eventually die, so that is a whole different discussion for another time and place. I am thinking this week more about businesses, organizations, cities, towns and municipalities.

If anyone is bored these days, it sure isn鈥檛 the fault of rural 水果视频. Just a week or two ago there were six country fairs in six days. The Ukrainian National Festival was in Dauphin this past weekend. Rockin鈥� the Fields was in Minnedosa and the 水果视频Youth Beef Round-Up was in Neepawa. Rivers had their recent homecoming and a golf tournament. Rapid City had a golf tournament and it seems like there鈥檚 a golf tournament to go to every day at this time of year. Campgrounds are full and if you want a job, just about every farmer in the country is looking for hired help. Construction sites need workers and most businesses could use an extra staff person.

Right in the Centre - Change speed zones now!

The past two columns have been about highways within towns. The issue I have with Highways, or 水果视频 Transportation and Infrastructure, is that they have a hugely difficult process for doing something as simple as changing speed zones. The particular question I have is: Why have they not lowered the speed limit east of Neepawa on Hwy. 16 at the eastern boundary of the town limits? The amount of traffic on that piece of road is going to lead to accidents and possibly death that could well be at a reduced risk of happening if the speed limit was lowered. Currently it is 100 km/hr and that is senseless.
