The Town of Neepawa’s new snow removal contracts are signed, sealed and delivered. On Tuesday, Dec. 5, council approved the agreements with two local companies, P. Baker and Rob Smith and Son. The deals with those companies will result in the town being split into two snow removal sections, with Mountain Avenue serving as the mid-point. Pat Baker will clear snow from the west side of Neepawa, as well as Mountain Avenue itself, while the east side will be handled by Rob Smith and Son.

The scoring summary showed that Roy Bell opened the scoring in the first period and netted two more in the second frame to provide a hat trick in Neepawa's advancement along the playoff trail. There were almost 1,900 fans out for the game, 500 on a special train from Dauphin.

We have covered a lot of territory in 45 weeks of recipes and history. This has been fun for me and I hope you have enjoyed it as well. From the First Nations people who helped the settlers by showing them how to use the indigenous foods and medicines, the Metis who adapted their foods to both cultures, to the settlers who came bringing their own heritage recipes with them. The first settlers were a hardy bunch who often had to make do with what little they had thus adapting their recipes to create something new. Everyone had enough for one more person should someone drop in unannounced whether they had a little or a lot. Prairie people were just that way, very hospitable.
