On Jan. 21 the Neepawa Curling Club held their annual Youth Bonspiel. We had an excellent turn out with a total of sixteen entries in two divisions. There were six teams for the 17 and under division and ten teams for the 14 and under division. It was great to see the curling rink so busy with that many youth curlers and their supporters. Overall it was a very successful bonspiel with really good curling and sportsmanship on display.

Television viewers are quite used to re-runs. Newspaper readers not so much. This week, I am offering up a re-run of a 2017 column. This week, we have had so many staff off work due to illness that we are operating on a very stretched schedule. Hopefully, next week will be back to normal, whatever normal is in our newspaper world. I recently read a column about the universal day care myth. Day care has been a huge topic for many years and there are those who would have us believe that all children should be in day care. All day care should be owned by the government and certainly all levels of day care should be supervised and regulated by the government.

“Sorry”. While we may not claim total ownership of the word, as we can with “eh”, it’s as Canadian a word as you will find. On any street, in any Canadian town or city, you will find someone unnecessarily apologizing for bumping into an inanimate object. Almost as Canadian an image as skating on a frozen lake is the Canadian apologizing for being bumped into in a grocery store. So ingrained in the Canadian psyche is politeness, that when Canadian Geographic and The Walrus joined forces to put together “The Story of Canada in 150 Objects”, “politeness” was ranked number one.
