This is always an exciting week at the paper. In Neepawa this week, we publish our annual feature celebrating this year’s graduating class. I always enjoy looking through the pictures and seeing the students I know. Some live near me, some work in local businesses and some I have met while covering events throughout their school years. It’s interesting to hear their plans for the future and their excitement at beginning a new chapter.

The most recent issue of the Minnedosa Tribune carried a very encouraging front page story.The Minnedosa Tribune is by the way the oldest community newspaper in Western Canada and is privately owned by Darryl Holyk. Privately owned papers are the best kind as I have stated many times and the Tribune is no exception.The Trib’s front page story outlines extensive plans for a new medical clinic in Minnedosa. It’s long overdue. Just as the renovated and then expanded medical clinic in Neepawa was long overdue, the community owned clinic in Minnedosa has been “talked about” for a long time.
