Virden RCMP report Halloween night vandalism rising from last year with spray painting of a cenotaph honoring fallen soldiers as town officials face a difficult cleanup. The incident follows a string of pranks and prompts concern over respect for war dead.
Terrie Welwoot reports a Russell local promo with red and green patron cards. Forty plus businesses participate to stamp cards for four different shops. Daily draws between November 20 and December 20 exclude Sundays. Winners pick envelopes from a Christmas money tree for 50 to 200 Russell Bucks to spend locally.
An editor note praises Clarence Lazaruk of Inglis for reviving the Russell cenotaph. A former lieutenant in Russell 677 Air Cadets funded by the Millennium Projects fund, he researched the original monument, sourced granite, and coordinated with Calgary sculptor Gernot Kiefer to reattach the head. He engaged Major Pratt students with cenotaph visuals, linking Remembrance Day to the community and youth, following last year’s vandalism.
The Opposition Tories rally against Gary Doer over provincial funds. They warn he should come to his senses and avoid suing to commit to spending, predicting a long fight if he resists. A pre-legislature battle plan is outlined, with a hint of further details in the Mail on page 2.
