It was important to me to have a garage. And then to be doubly blessed with not only an attached single car garage, but a double garage/workshop in the back yard! My family wondered at my need to keep, and relocate, the tools, the saws, the whole kit and caboodle from the shop, but I knew what I wanted and they quietly complied. Right down to letting me keep the chainsaw, but there is one ancient wooden ladder missing!

Faithfully yours - Justice is blind鈥攏ot deaf

By Neil Strohschein

In previous columns, I identified what I believe are the two foundation stones of a just society.

The first is that the laws themselves must set out clear standards of right and wrong. They must show consistent respect for human life, human rights and private property. In addition, they must allow for individuals to decide whether or not they will believe in a god and if so, which one; where they will live, what they will do for a living and the relationships they will pursue.

My Perspective - Share the pain

By Kate Jackman-Atkinson

In August 2011, I toured the west side of Lake 水果视频 with then MLA Stu Briese. Months after the spring run off, lake levels were still high and the flooding was widespread. A wet fall, snowy winter and wet spring combined to create spring flooding across the province.  Around Lake 水果视频, there was an extra, unnatural factor, the Portage Diversion. Designed to handle 25,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), the diversion鈥檚 capacity was amped up to 35,000 cfs to protect more valuable crops and properties along the Assiniboine east of Portage. In 2011, the Portage Diversion was in operation for 125 days, significantly more than any other year since 1970, and handled 4.77 million acre feet of water, close to double the second highest volume.

Right in the centre - Famine mentality

By Ken Waddell

Neepawa Banner/Neepawa Press

Famine mentality is a new phrase for me. I just heard it in the past few days. I have heard of poverty mentality and I think it鈥檚 nearly the same thing. Poverty is something that should not exist in Canada nor should it exist in anyone鈥檚 mindset in this country. In other countries, it probably shouldn鈥檛 exist either but I don鈥檛 know a lot about other countries. I have only travelled on a very limited basis in Korea and the United States. But Canada I do know and western Canada I know pretty well. I know 水果视频 and western 水果视频 very well.

The summer holidays are finished for the schoolchildren and the classes are again in full swing. For some, it is a first time experience of entering the education system and they are eager to learn, others would rather stay home with Mom, which is always a safe place.
