Signs of Spring and Small Town Rambles
Everitt Gurr of Hamiota reports a crow sighting near Foxwarren on February 22 and notes four of seven blackbirds from the Gurr feedstocks still remain. The piece mixes local chatter on Ann Forrest, MLA Barry Strickland, Heather Riddell in Winnipeg, bread prices, and a water bill adjustment from the Water Supply Board. It recalls past freedoms, a Newfoundland stamp rainbow, and local stories of rail travel, old car collectors, and a man skating since 1910.
