A narrator recounts counting 175 trees on a plantation and performing 175 squats to clear grass at each tree. The effort leaves them stiff and sore with aching thighs and backside, noting a “window of opportunity” on Saturday evening.
The author describes tackling heavy yard work with a blunt, straight ahead approach and learning too late that two days of labor in a three hour stint was ill advised. After a long soak and morning groans, reminiscences of high school track and field, limited indoor space, and unprepared conditioning surface alongside planting 150 of 175 trees. The piece ends with a vision of a future shelter belt surrounding the yard in 10 to 25 years.
The piece compares Manitoba move to regional health authorities with Alberta’s past shift, detailing budget shortfalls, 3.5 million deficit for the Marquette RHA, and calls for public consultation before service cuts. It notes a Neepawa meeting where officials defended plans and listened to residents.
