Are you ready for Christmas? For many people Christmas it seems the most stressful time of the year. Baking needs to be done, presents are bought and wrapped. The decorations are up inside the house and outside.

For many newspapers it has not been a good year financially. I guess that is obvious as recent news came out that over 30 daily papers, including one in Winnipeg, have been shut down. Now, in fairness, those papers were owned by two large companies who decided that having one paper in a town has better chance at success than two so they closed a bunch of papers to make way for what they hope will be a successful single paper.

Lily Tomlin, starring as Ernestine, the telephone operator-鈥漮ne ringy dingy (snort), two ringy dingies (snort)!! Is this the person to whom I am speaking?鈥�- triggered a whole series of memories. The party-line! It was a time before farm homes were entertained by television.

The Town of Neepawa is conducting a survey about the upcoming budget. They did it last year as well and it鈥檚 a good thing. Having served on Neepawa council twice and having attended countless council, community and committee meetings over decades of time, I can appreciate why the council is doing the survey. In one way or another, councils in all towns and RMs conduct surveys one on one or in the coffee shop or in this case with an actual survey.
