New owners at Shop Easy

By Audrey Kotak

There are new people minding the store, but the Shop Easy sign will remain. Chris Manweiller and Roxy McNabb have purchased the business from Dennis & Lois Lukey who operated it for almost 10 years.

The first time business owners say they are not planning any major renovations, but customers will notice some slow changes to the layout and products offered.

The change of hands was effective December 19th, 2011. You’ll still see Dennis and Lois in the aisles for awhile as they help Chris and Roxy to get acquainted with operations. Robert Pols, who is in charge of marketing and developing stores, has also been giving them a hand with the computer system and other start-up know-ledge.

A grand opening event is planned for February 27 complete with lunch, door prizes and other giveaways.

Increase in Agri- Insurance announced

Farmers and their families will benefit from an increase in AgriInsurance that will help them deal with extreme weather and marketing challenges, Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Minister Ron Kostyshyn announced at Ag Days in Brandon last week.

"Farmers have been experiencing some major challenges, whether it’s the unprecedented spring flood of 2011 or near drought conditions. Our government has been investing in innovative programs and providing support to help them manage these challenges," said Kostyshyn. "Crop insurance is the best and first line of defence against production losses. The adjustments we’re making keep the insurance program in balance with the realities of production in today’s environment and support farmers and their families."
