The Springhill Farms Hog Processing Plant in Neepawa cuts 64 jobs due to weak sales and a US tariff on pork. Union leader Hugh McMeel says the layoff hurts the community as workers earned about $10 an hour on average. Lawrence Harp, seven months on the kill floor, calls the move a disappointment.

Dream to be fulfilled on Chilkoot Trail hike
Morris Hykaway of Niverville fulfilled a lifelong dream by hiking the Chilkoot Trail in Alaska two years ago and plans to repeat it this summer with his 26-year-old son. He has taught English at St. Pierre Jolys Junior High for 13 years and uses Jack London novels in his program. London's Call of the Wild inspired the trek along the historic route first used in 1897 by gold seekers bound for Dawson City.
