Harvest season optimism across Rossburn country crops and events
A weekly report notes lush alfalfa and rising wheat, canola, and mustard across Rossburn country aided by timely rains. It highlights upcoming fairs, livestock shows in Strathclair Shoal Lake and Hamiota, a rescheduled Oakburn fastball tourney, and the Rossburn Harvest Festival. Community events include Cardale reunions, Angusville ball game with modest crowds, and ongoing postal union disruption affecting paper delivery. The writer urges continued local support while criticizing civil service union demands and urging patience until Ottawa resolves the dispute.

From Ukraine to Canada 1900 Pushka Family Journey
The Pushka family left western Ukraine in 1900 aboard a crowded ship for Canada seeking a better life. Narrator Nettie recalls famine on board, a five week sea voyage to Halifax, then wagon and bush trek to Ranchville near Shoal Lake Manitoba. They claimed 160 acre homesteads for ten dollars, endured isolation, hard work, and early schooling before Nettie married Mike Luba in 1918.
