If you want to hear motorists “blow up,” ask them about the condition of Highway No. 4 between Neepawa and the Arden ridge. What with holes and corduroy, it is described as a real “gizzard shaker”. Coming off the good stretch between Gladstone and the ridge, it is the more noticeable. Whether or not the government intends to put this section in good shape this season is not known. What should be done and what is going to be done are two different things.

Many thoughts are crossing my mind this week. The kids are enjoying a week free from school. It is the time for chocolate bunnies and eggs, but also new life born on the farms. Calves are born and bunnies, kittens and puppies will follow soon.

The Christian community lost a spiritual giant just over a month ago. On February 21, after a long battle with Parkinson’s and other ailments, Rev. Billy Graham passed away. He was 99. His body was laid to rest on March 2 on the grounds of the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina; next to the body of his wife who predeceased him in 2007. But his words will live on, thanks to audio tapes of his radio sermons, video tapes of sermons given at crusades and the many books he wrote during his lifetime.
