The correct description is as follows : Fresh Pork Back Ribs Vacuum Packed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. M ORE than 100 volunteers from communities across southwestern Manitoba gathered on Monday to help the RM of Pipestone clean up after its second natural disaster in weeks. A suspected tornado that touched down over the weekend comes after two major rainstorms left parts of the area under water earlier this summer. " Pipestone's full. There are volunteers from everywhere and there's lots of equipment, lots of activity in Pipestone right now," Pipestone Reeve Ross Tycoles said Monday. " We're picking up metal and parts of buildings that are all over the place and trying to clean them up and making piles for waste disposal, trying to sort it all out a bit." Strong winds raced through southwestern Manitoba Saturday evening, ripping roofs from buildings, snapping power lines, pushing trees onto cars and homes and scattering debris throughout the area, which is about 300 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg. The most damage was caused by large amounts of hail and rain that ravaged and drenched farmers' fields. One mobile home was destroyed, another house had its roof completely ripped off and there are currently 15 homes without hydro, Tycoles said. " Hydro's actually snipped the connection and until an electrician goes through and inspects it, they won't turn it back on in their houses - it's a safety reason," he said. " Most of the stuff that is damaged is insurable, so a lot of it won't fit under any kind of assistance." On Monday, volunteers were busy removing broken trees - some of them on cars - and repairing roofs, a few of which were missing shingles, when Premier Greg Selinger paid his second visit to the area in the past month to tour the damage. Following Selinger's visit, Tycoles said he's confident the province is putting the proper paperwork through so community members can start to see some relief following the damage flash flooding caused in late June. The official damage estimate from those two storms is still being gathered, he said. " Not everybody's put in already, it just takes time. I'm still dealing with the flood of June 22 so this is just another pile." Once the disaster relief has been dealt with, the community will start to rebuild itself and will start discussing preventative measures, Tycoles said. One possibility is the installation of a siren to warn community members of severe weather. A team from Environment Canada also visited Pipestone on Monday to survey the damage and confirm whether it was a tornado that ripped through the area. " It's still a suspected tornado at this point," warning preparedness meteorologist Natalie Hasell said. " We have all the indications that most likely it was. the types of damage that we've been told could easily have been done by a tornado, but the difficulty is some of the damage could have been because of straight- lined winds or large hail, both of which were reported." The storm originated in Saskatchewan early Saturday evening, bringing with it high winds and hail. The last time a system like this was reported in the area was after a tornado ripped through Elie in 2007. The following day another tornado touched down near Pipestone, Hasell said. Pipestone residents and volunteers were forced to work quickly, repairing roofs and cleaning up the debris, as the chance of another thunderstorm loomed over their heads on Monday. - Brandon Sun Battered Pipestone cleans up - again Still sorting damage from earlier floods By Lindsey Enns ' We're picking up metal and parts of buildings... I'm still dealing with the flood of June 22, so this is just another pile.' - Pipestone Reeve Ross Tycoles LAC- M�GANTIC, Que. - A motion to file a class- action lawsuit has been registered by two Lac- M�gantic residents in the opening shot of what could be a years- long, multimillion- dollar legal battle. It comes just over a week after a deadly train derailment that has already prompted various investigations including a criminal probe, and has attracted the interest of legal teams on both sides of the border. The motion was filed Monday by two men who want to sue the owners of the train that derailed in their town, killing an estimated 50 people. One of them is Yannick Gagn�, who owned the Musi- Caf� bar where many people died in the tragedy; the other is Guy Ouellet, whose partner of five years, Diane Bizier, lost her life in the blaze. Three of Gagn�'s employees also died in the fire. The defendants are the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway; company chairman Edward Burkhardt and president Robert Grindrod; and train operator Tom Harding. No financial sum was mentioned in the court documents filed in Quebec Superior Court in Sherbrooke, but lawyers predicted the case could involve more than $ 10 million. The suit seeks damages for people who lost loved ones, for those who were injured, and for property and business losses. Lead lawyer Daniel Larochelle, who has lived and practised law in Lac- M�gantic for more than 15 years, knew many of the victims. " The suffering endured by this community and the suffering that is still ongoing has been truly incomprehensible," he said in a statement. " I want this legal action to bring some hope to my community as we start to rebuild." Firms have swiftly lined up to get a piece of potentially lucrative lawsuits. Barely a week after the tragedy, there's growing competition on both sides of the border to represent families of those who died in the accident. What's less clear is where civil litigation will be most actively pursued. Lawsuits could be filed in Quebec, where the accident took place. They could also be filed in Maine, at the headquarters of Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway; or even in Illinois, where the company's parent company is located. - The Canadian Press Legal marathon starts as first Lac- M�gantic lawsuit filed A_ 08_ Jul- 16- 13_ FP_ 01. indd A8 7/ 15/ 13 9: 35: 05 PM ;
