Steinbach projects get funding
      The proposed expansion of the Jake Epp Library recieved some good news on Thursday, getting $600,000 in provincial funding announced personally by Premier Greg Selinger. The expansion faces a review by the municipal board next month because of objections to the proposed financing. The $2.8 million project was to be financed completely through borrowed funds. Happy Feet Early Learning Centre also was given good news from the province with the annoucement it will get $316,000 towards an expansion to its facility on Reimer Avenue, creating a new building on the site with space for up to 40 new full-time childcare spaces. Happy Feet currently offers care for 32 preschool-aged children.

Selinger makes rounds in Southeast
      Greg Selinger has been hard to miss the last couple of days as the premier has been involved in a number of community visits and annoucements throughout the Southeast. On Tuesday Selinger visited the St Joseph windfarm site to get a firsthand look at construction. Wednesday he made a pair of announcements in Niverville and Lorette. Niverville will be receiving up to $333,000 in funding for the Growing Minds Child Care Centre located in the Heritage Centre. Later in the afternoon Selinger annouced $350,000 in funding for a community spray park in Lorette.

Toddler drowns in Landmark
      A two-year-old Winnipeg boy drowned in a backyard pool during a family gathering at a residence in Landmark on Sunday. RCMP say the child had been playing with others but was then noticed to be absent. After a search he was located by family members face down in a nearby above ground pool. Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. He was later pronounced dead at Ste Anne hospital. Police say his name will not be released.
Fogging plan gets thumbs-up
      Steinbach city council approved to the practice of mosquito fogging Wednesday morning. Mayor Chris Goertzen and Councillors Abe Hiebert and Art Rempel all sided with Councillor Michael Zwaagstra who introduced an motion authorizing city staff to conduct fogging when warranted, based on weekly trap counts, the presence of culex tarsalis mosquitoes, soil saturation levels, larvae development levels and citizen complaints. Councillors Jac Siemens and Roy Enns voted against the plan, both arguing the policy required more detail. A more comprehensive plan is to be put in place for 2011.
