It could have been very easy for the Neepawa Farmers to overlook their opposition, the Pilot Mound Pilots on Friday, Jan. 12. The reason for it being a potential trap game for Neepawa went well beyond the Pilots’ disappointing 2-9-3 record. It would have had more to do with the Farmers’ looking ahead to their next home game, against the Tiger Hills Hockey League’s best team, the Killarney Shamrocks. Fortunately for the Farmers, a four goal night from Garett Rempel helped ensure Neepawa took care of the task at hand, on the way to a 12-5 win.

Eggs are one of the few foods considered to be a complete protein, because they contain all 9 essential amino acids.  Amino acids are considered the “building blocks for the body”. I like them for their reasonable price, and the expedient way they bring a meal together.

Homebodies - About that cold snap…

It is with grace and dignity that I confess that I have slipped into the category of the ‘oldtimers’. More than once the phrases-when I was a child, and I recall the winter of..’ Yup, earned all these memories and I trust the majority of them are still quite accurate. No guarantees but sincere hope! I recall the winter that my father was away, either back to university or teaching, and I was left in charge. That January was bitterly cold, the thermometer not inching past zero degrees Fahrenheit day or night. The morning pattern was stoking the furnace, heading out to do the chores, coming in to eat breakfast and make my school lunch, and heading off to school.
