Random thoughts and a celebration of access to Google (25th anniversary of Google this week).
Another day, another... 385,000 babies to be born worldwide.
This chart is a snapshot of the babies born around the world every 5 MINUTES. Of those 1000, only 3 are born in Canada.

Memories. Among the gifts received over Vicki's time at the Cartwright newspaper are two pieces of china. The cup and saucer had gone full circle, having been gifted from the Review in 1962. The cream and sugar set was a gift to mark the 100th anniversary of the Review. Their story is told with each photo.

Today was the air was clearer than it has been since August 13. In celebration of a smoke-less sky, I took a ramble on the east side of Cartwright, down the old rail line. This pretty walk is slowly being transformed, with several new benches having appeared since my last visit. - Vicki

Reading the terrifying stories on fires in NWT on the websites from our excellent news outlets in Canada. Sorry their links are no longer allowed on Facebook.
I am wondering of the "closed" status of the Review means news from my little outlet would slip by the censors.

Digital files of all the local newspapers can now be accessed at the Cartwright Library. They are organized by year or date, so it is easy to look up specific items if you know the date.

We now have an archive of all editions of the Southern Manitoba Review available to use at the Library. While this cannot be checked out, it is free to use at the library. Come check it out.

100 years ago the Wallace Bros. (my grandpa and my great uncle) had a rough start to the year. How do I know? They missed changing the year on the first page of the newspaper. (I know that sinking feeling when you notice that too late.) Hope your year starts better!
