Rotary Exchange Student

I sit at home, look over the fields I’ve grown up playing in and think to myself, “Crazy.”

My name is Nikki Tomoniko and I have spent the last year in Switzerland on a Rotary exchange. I, an unassuming prairie girl, left the safe valleys of our flat province to join the high life in the mountains. I arrived in Switzerland on a hot, August day with primitive German in my back pocket and nodding smiles as survival methods. My year grew and evolved from that day on, into what I can’t describe as anything other than extraordinary. I have made friends, found families, laughed with Rotarians and explored so much of what were once just foreign concepts to me.

Ten years ago, local volunteers developed The Langford Recreational Trails as a place for people to hike, bike and enjoy nature. This series of connecting trails allows people to choose a hike or a bike ride with distances ranging from one kilometre to 10 kilometres. Located 10 kilometres east of Neepawa on Highway 16, and south five kilometres on Road 81 W, it is easily accessible. A map of the trails can be obtained on the website neepawaleisure.com.

On Aug. 8, Neepawa, along with many other communities across western Manitoba, was battered by heavy winds, torrential downpours and hail. But while the storm was nothing to scoff at here in the Land of Plenty, the storm that hit the Erickson area made ours look like a light breeze.
