Neighborly News discusses raspberries as a summer treat extended by new technology.

It notes acres planted in Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, plus a mechanical harvester costing 15000 to 20000 dollars. A healthy plantation may yield 4000 pounds per acre at 65 cents to a dollar per pound, with autumn fruit varieties and ongoing robin interactions during harvest.

Privatization of Education denounced by trustees in Manitoba
Manitoba trustees condemn a 38 percent grant increase to private schools. Education Minister Len Derkach says grants rise to 1672 per pupil from 1256 retroactive to April 1, 1989, costing taxpayers 4 million dollars. Critics say funding lacks accountability and diverts public funds from special needs education, risking erosion of public schools. Brenda Leslie of MAST decries the policy as privatization.
