Reading the Papers A glimpse at other communities
Reading the Papers surveys rural Manitoba weeklies noting weather steady crop growth and grasshoppers as a new topic. It reports wildlife signs, fishing at Arrow and Rossman lakes, campers and trailers, and road upkeep. It lists incidents from Dauphin spraying failures to a Rivers house fire, Moosomin water storage plans, Glenboro’s Pool Elevator demolition, a hog barn fire near Killarney, and a Boissevain break-in. It ends with Lake Irwin Park development and local Shrine Circus tickets for grade two pupils, plus jobs at Bernie Lake mine.

Ottawa beef imports pact aims to shield Canadian cattle sector
