KAP pushes for Crow Offset benefits for hogs and poultry
Keystone Agricultural Producers urges Manitoba to extend the Livestock Development Program to include hogs broiler chickens and turkeys in addition to cattle and lambs. The move follows a Brandon General Council resolution and a note to Agriculture Minister Glen Findlay dated October 13 1988.

Courts take stringent view on drinking and driving
A provincial judge in Roblin last Thursday sentenced a first time offender on an over 06 charge, stressing society’s strict stance on drunk driving. The offender paid 500 and received a three month driving ban across Canada. A former Reviin Hee resident, Carnene Hossack, faced a 21965 second over 06 conviction and a 25 licence fee for driving with an expired licence. A Valley River Indian Reserve resident was fined for driving without a licence, with defense noting belief that no licence was required on reserve property. Thompson warned against a dangerous common knowledge and issued a reprimand. An area resident with no prior record received a three month conditional discharge for theft under 200 plus 10 hours community service. A first offender on a careless driving charge faced 300 fine and 96 costs after delaying and swerving on a Shell River RM gravel road.
