Riverdale Municipality held a public hearing on Thursday, Jan. 4; council and CAO outnumbered interested residents. Mayor Todd Gill suggested the poor attendance was because the project was so old or the weather too cold. Rivers Banner countered that because Christmas holidays were still in effect and children not back in school was why people were absent. Regardless of the reason, only seven citizens, this reporter and two WCG-TV Channel 12 volunteers comprised the crowd.

The intermediate hockey team went to Minnedosa Saturday night and brought home the Brimms challenge cup as a result of winning the game against the Valley town’s team by a score of 4-3. The contest was reported as a stiff one throughout with the newly coached Minnedosans battling against the rivals in good style. The high pitch interest in the game was kept up until the last with the goals being scored alternately. Neepawa’s scoring honours went to Jim Guinn, G. Vivian, Bert Randall and M. Tomlin. The cup has been presented to the intermediate league by Corporal Brimms of the RCMP, of Minnedosa and the Minnedosa team will come to Neepawa Wednesday night in an attempt to take it home with them.

It could have been very easy for the Neepawa Farmers to overlook their opposition, the Pilot Mound Pilots on Friday, Jan. 12. The reason for it being a potential trap game for Neepawa went well beyond the Pilots’ disappointing 2-9-3 record. It would have had more to do with the Farmers’ looking ahead to their next home game, against the Tiger Hills Hockey League’s best team, the Killarney Shamrocks. Fortunately for the Farmers, a four goal night from Garett Rempel helped ensure Neepawa took care of the task at hand, on the way to a 12-5 win.
