On the front page of this week's paper, you will see this notice: “A postal disruption could occur as soon as July 1, 2016. Canada Post Corporation and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have not come to a labour agreement. This does not affect deliveries in Neepawa, as we do not use Canada Post in the Town of Neepawa. In case of a postal strike or lock-out, at all other locations, the Banner will be distributed by alternative means. We plan to have the paper distributed at numerous locations around the readership area. We will do everything we can to make sure the papers are distributed.
Thank for your support and patience.

Some time ago, the young men in my life (son and grandson, in case you’re wondering!) came to help clean out the shop. Ed’s shed. I made it clear that I wanted the table saw, the mitre saw, the hand saws, the drills, the sander, the side grinder, oh, and leave all the drill bits and chain saw. There was a moment of silence, and my son quietly asked, “how often do you think you will use them?”

Many years ago, an electrical fire destroyed a family’s home. No lives were lost, but everything inside the house was destroyed. Within 24 hours, the displaced family had found temporary housing. Donations of food, clothing and furniture were collected. A year later, they moved into a new home on a farm they were in the process of buying when their home was destroyed.

“To "call a spade a spade" is a figurative expression which refers to calling something "as it is”, that is, by its right or proper name, without "beating about the bush"—being outspoken about it, truthfully, frankly and directly, even to the point of being blunt or rude and even if the subject is considered coarse, impolite, or unpleasant.” –Wikipedia-2017
