The tide is turning and I hope it’s a sign of good things to come for rural businesses. After a decade of “more” and “bigger”, we are starting to see a real appreciation for “small”.

Whitetail deer have been moving further and further into Neepawa. Many towns have the same issue. Seems life is easier in town.The cute little Bambis have always been on the edge of town. They have always wandered through the outer layers of streets, happily munching their way through the cedar shrubs and nipping off whatever plants suit their palate. With the deep, early snow this year, the deer are hungry and moving further into town. There was even one on the Safeway parking lot last week. They are causing thousands of dollars damage to trees, shrubs and plants.

There’s been plenty of changes over the last few years at Neepawa’s community access television station, known as NACTV. The station, which has been broadcasting locally produced media since 1977, recently went through a huge shift at its annual general meeting on Nov. 1 of last year, where CEO and general manager Ivan Traill stepped down, announcing that the board of directors and the Neepawa Banner had entered into a three-year management agreement contract. The station’s mandate did not change, nor did its not-for-profit status.
