Have you ever felt that the answer you got when you asked about community development seemed less than genuine? Do you ever feel that people are throwing their hands in the air and sharing commonly accepted excuses? I’m not saying that I know this to be happening locally, but it’s certainly something I have seen in my travels.

I quite prattle on about downsizing; the merits, my efforts and the necessity. In all that I harbour a secret – there are items in my home, on the shelves or tucked in cupboards that I am reluctant to part with. I wash them, I dust them and never re-arrange them. Three of the items have no history, with me.

Three weeks ago, I wrote about some of the challenges that are facing rural churches. It’s no secret that many are struggling to survive. Many more are on life support. God only knows how many of these churches will still be open five years from now.

Much like the local reaction to the Canada Day celebrations in Neepawa, Eoin Devereux finds himself conflicted on his opinion toward the lack of festivities. This week, he has written two separate editorials examining both sides of the argument he’s having with himself about it. The companion editorial 'Either lend a hand or get over it!' can be seen at the attached link.
Over the past few days, there has been a fair amount of reaction online to the simplicity of Neepawa’s Canada Day celebrations this year. Some people have said that having a low key event was not a big deal. Others have blasted the Town, especially online, for not putting on a grander spectacle. Now if you have been one of those people jumping in on this discussion, I have no doubt that you have likely said to yourself “Hey what does the local sports guy with the weirdly spelled first name think about all this?”
