Manitoba's youth justice committees handle minor offenses outside court, with 900 cases in Winnipeg and expansion to towns like Boissevain and Steinbach.

A nostalgic reminiscence recalls a legendary greyhound named the Dandy and a bygone Edinburgh dog track era. The narrator recounts how the Dandy charmed crowds, battles with bookies, and a paint incident at home, while relatives, including the Fiddler, shaped the dog’s roaring early career and quick exits from the arena.
The narrator compares his kids Alexander Stephanie and Duncan to wardrobe obsessions. Alexander and Stephanie crave coordinated, pricey outfits while Duncan stays casual in hand me downs. The father notes his own frugal wardrobe, wonders about his values and if clothes shape character, and fantasizes about a Harris Tweed jacket upgrade. He asks for spring fashion suggestions.
The writer reflects on the Dandy retiring and expresses enthusiasm for dog racing as a business venture. He mentions racing dogs as not evil, recalls happy times with men and dogs, and proposes starting dog tracks in Manitoba with a track in Russell. He ends noting remaining paint and signs off as Alex Aitken.
