For much of the last year, in the Neepawa Press, we have been publishing a series of stories called 鈥淲here are they now?鈥�. The stories are by Rick Sparling, a local sports historian who has published two books about Neepawa鈥檚 hockey history: The History of Public School Hockey in Neepawa and Amateur Hockey in Neepawa鈥� A Scrapbook. For those outside the Press鈥� circulation area, or who haven鈥檛 read the articles on www.水果视频, Sparling catches up with the players whose teams were featured in his books to find out what they went on to do with their lives.

Political and economic commentators in the United States are saying that the U.S. economy is not growing, and will not grow, at the rates it used to grow in the 1950s. They say that the former growth rate was in the four to five per cent range and now it鈥檚 just below two per cent range. They say population growth and economic growth are linked. That seems believable. If a community or a country doesn鈥檛 have enough people, jobs can鈥檛 all be filled, opportunities can鈥檛 all be met, resources can鈥檛 be developed. When that happens, communities and countries start looking at ways to bring in more people. In times past, governments offered baby bonus cheques. In Canada, that became child allowance and now I guess it鈥檚 called child tax credits. In early Quebec, the King of France and the Quebec colony leaders strongly encouraged immigration of women so the men could become husbands and fathers, then the villages could grow in size.

The defeated snow banks, receding and retreating, bivouacked in the tree lines and fence lines, reluctantly give way to rivulets of tears, admitting the end of their dominance. The trees are showing signs of promises fulfilled, the buds now full second trimester round. It is good.

I think the biggest missing link in 水果视频 is boldness. I don鈥檛 mean reckless actions, not at all, I mean bold, innovative action that will lift business and governments out of the miry clay. It seems that we have an abundance of caution and fear in 水果视频. It鈥檚 stifling.
