Cancellation of robot games leads to schools organizing themselves
5 minute read Monday, Apr. 22, 2024Every year, kids from across Manitoba compete in the Manitoba Robot Games smashing and pushing their robots in the arena to see who will be the victor. This year due to a death on the organizing committee, the games were cancelled. But the cancellation didn’t stop some schools from putting on their own games.
Crystal Springs School and 11 other Hutterite schools organized themselves to have their own robot games last Saturday in Carberry with Crystal Springs coming home with a number of trophies.
“The games saw just over 100 students competing with 135 robots in seven different categories,” said principal Karl Kleinsasser. “The Crystal Springs School team came home with four first place finishes, two second places, and three third places, sweeping the podium in two categories, Mini Sumo 2 and Mini Sumo 3.”
Crystal Springs has been making robots and competing for about 20 years. This year there are 22 students competing in the Hutterite games.

1 minute read 11:01 AM CDTSteinbach RCMP pulled three people off the road last weekend, handing out licence suspensions and impounding vehicles.
Police say they issued an immediate roadside prohibition to a 23-year-old male from Mitchell and a 34-year-old male from the RM of La Broquerie. Both blew a “warn” in roadside breath samples at separate traffic stops. They each were given a 72-hour licence suspension and had their vehicle impounded for three days.
A 26-year-old male from Winnipeg registered a “fail” on the device and was given an immediate roadside prohibition with a 90-day suspension and a vehicle impoundment of 30 days.
The roadside prohibition is used if the driver has never been charged or convicted for a previous impaired driving offence and currently has a valid driver’s licence.

5 minute read Monday, Apr. 22, 2024Thank you to columnist Michael Zwaagstra (April 4, 2024) for providing a positive review of my new book Untangling Popular Anti-Israel Arguments: Critical Thinking about the Israel-Hamas War.
I wrote that little book because there is so much poor thinking about the terrible war between Israel and Gaza (led by Iran-backed Hamas), a war that is now (as I write this letter) threatening to expand directly with Iran.
Sadly, the need for my book was confirmed by a recent letter to The Carillon by Rick Loewen (“Columnist justifies infanticide,” April 11, 2024). Mr. Loewen makes three serious mistakes, which I wish to correct.
Mistake 1: Loewen says Hamas did not start the war with Israel.

2 minute read Monday, Apr. 22, 2024The RM of Ste Anne would give up large amounts of farmland to the north of the Town of Ste Anne if the town’s annexation application to the province goes through, and they are OK with that.
“We’re totally open to whatever they need,” said RM Reeve Richard Pelletier.
“It’s good for the municipality to have a town that’s going to grow, have more services and so on, because we’re going to use those services.”
The RM sent a memorandum of understanding to the town that was packaged with its application to create more room for housing and light industrial space – assuming the property owners are willing to sell.
