Severe lightning storm damages trees and appliances in Glenboro area
An early morning August 22 lightning storm blasted through Glenboro and Cypress River, snapping a 75 foot Spruce in front of Tim and Joyce Wallis and striking another tree near the Senior Citizens home. The storm damaged wiring and appliances, prompting many repair requests the next day. Experts advise unplugging devices as surge bars offer little protection. Manitoba Hydro reports affected power stations in the region.

Manitoba ag rep cites extreme variability in Glenboro area yields
Manitoba Agriculture Representative Murray Frank for Glenboro Carberry says rainfall variances cause wide differences in 1995 harvest yields. He notes eastern Glenboro fields look ready for a slightly better harvest while western areas need more moisture. Small grains expected below normal, sunflowers and corn show promise. Harvesting is just starting and gaps will widen as work continues.
