The strong start to the 2016-2017 Manitoba Midget Hockey League (MMHL) regular season continued for the Yellowhead Chiefs, as the boys team won a pair of games last weekend. The first victory came against the Southwest Cougars, during Yellowhead’s home opener at Shoal Lake, on Friday, Oct. 7. Mackenzie Belinski scored a pair of goals and added an assist to help lead the Chiefs to a 6-5 win.

This is part three in a three part series about the places we loved growing up in Neepawa. It’s not just from my generation, but also from those younger and older.
One other activity we had was rabbit hunting. There was many a bush on the outskirts of town and these bushes were generally full of rabbits.
There was a bounty on them and you could get 10 cents a rabbit from Mr. Ryerson, who had a mink ranch located where Bob Birnie's house now sits, across from the #1 hole at the Neepawa Golf & Country Club. Most of the kids owned a .22 rifle and would go out hunting a couple of times a week. Barry Deveson, a member of The Junior Rifle Club, formed a group of hunters called “The Scared Rabbit gang.” I’m sure these creatures shuddered when ‘the gang’ was on the way. Some of the members were Ed Fearns, Bob Birnie, Dennis Foley and Ron Kleven, all brandishing .22 caliber rifles.

There is more joy in a printing office over one sinner that pays in advance and abuses the editor on every possible occasion then there is over 90 and nine who borrow the paper and sing its praises without contributing one cent to keep it out of the poor house.
