A southern Manitoba company making tile pipe for the agricultural market is about to become the Canadian arm of a U.S. competitor.

Minnesota-based Prinsco announced last week it has bought AccuPipe of Winkler, Man. for an undisclosed sum and also plans to set up a second facility at Taber in southern Alberta.

The sale of AccuPipe, which makes high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe for drainage, is expected to close in the next 30 days, Prinsco said, after which AccuPipe will officially become Prinsco Canada.

Prinsco said it expects to have its plant at Taber, about 50 km east of Lethbridge, up and running in the spring of 2014, manufacturing and stocking a full line of pipe and accessories.

AccuPipe co-founder Chris Untau said Prinsco, as the companys new owner, can help build on the success of AccuPipe by offering an expanded product line, vast technical expertise, and a full network of customer service and engineering support.

Tile drainage, Unrau said, has proven itself in Western Canada as a technique to improve yields and reduce risk.

Unrau also runs Precision Land Solutions, a Winkler company specializing in design and installation of water management solutions such as tile and surface drainage and said that company will continue to work closely (with Prinsco) to advance the use of water management practices.

Our company vision is to provide industry-leading solutions for agricultural efficiency and water quality, which is critically important in the Canadian Prairies, Jamie Duininck, Prinscos vice-president of sales, said in the companys release.

Prinsco, he said, is committed to provide farmers with access to water management products that can take them to the next level of success in creating more productive fields and building land values.

FAIRFIELD (CBS13) Thieves broke into storage sheds at Armijo High School and stole gifts meant for students sober grad night.

Six sheds with a couple of thousand dollars worth of items were broken into and raided.

It was a sobering reality for a group that prides itself on promoting keeping teens safe on their graduation night.

Sometime in the last week, someone broke into the sheds stealing a cotton candy dispenser, a microwave, and a fog machine among other things. They also busted up other items.

It goes beyond the vandalism and the stealing of things, said Audrey Jaques. It steals something from your heart, your soul. Its a lot of work.

Volunteers are now left with a sobering thought.

It just means were going to work a bit harder now to recoup what weve lost. Well have a few extra fundraisers, said Lori Russell.

The grad night is still set for June.

Thieves Bring Sobering Reality To Fairfield School’s Safe Grad Night

For the last year Chinas credit growth has been going gangbusters, with total social financing up 13.2% in the first 11 months of 2013 from a year earlier. Meanwhile, growth in the real economy slowed to about 7.6%, its slowest pace in years.

That has led analysts to wonder where all that money is going. Has China run out of productive ways to invest?

An audit of government debt published Monday hints at a possible answer. The National Audit Office surveyed not just the central government but thousands of regional and local governments around the country to find out just how much theyre on the hook for. Unlike most countries, Chinas localities owe more than the central government.

The results came in below some estimates, but theyre worrying all the same. Local government debt and liabilities came to 17.9 trillion yuan ($2.95 trillion) at end-June, a rise of 67% in two-and-a-half years.

Much of that was channeled through local government financing vehicles, corporate entities set up to sidestep restrictions on direct borrowing by governments. These vehicles are a financial black box: Much of the money may have been siphoned off into kickbacks or wasted on pointless construction projects.

Even where the money has been spent on worthwhile, genuinely productive infrastructure investments, it will be a long time before these projects can generate meaningful cash flows. Meanwhile, much of the borrowing that funded them is about to come due.

According to the NAO, which took a snapshot of outstanding debts halfway through 2013, 22.9% were due to mature before the end of the year. The report didnt provide any details on what happened after that, but so far there have been no known defaults. That suggests some of the debt is being rolled over and counted as new lending.

As long as local governments are servicing their interest payments, it is not uncommon for Chinese banks to roll over principal and count the exposure as performing, Fitch Ratings said in a report in September. This makes these assets more akin to perpetual bonds that derive a steady stream of cash interest but limited or zero principal.

This extend and pretend strategy helps prevent local governments woes from erupting into a financial crisis. But in the long run it spells trouble for the banks.

Still, in a way its good news: It means China may not have run out of productive ways to invest. Perhaps new lending could generate real growth if it were directed to people who struggle to borrow, like farmers or entrepreneurs.

We live like calves in these cow sheds, said Manish Kumar, a resident of Chandrapuri village, pointing to the dwellings inhabited by the villagers.

Around 72 km from Kedarnath, the village in Rudraprayag district, was hit by flash-floods on June 16 and 17, 2013. Fifty-seven houses were destroyed. Within a few hours, the space on which residential buildings stood was bulldozed by the Mandakini river. More than six months after the disaster, many villagers live in cow sheds and a few others in tents even as severe winter approaches.

Of the 3,100 buildings that were destroyed across the State in the mid-June deluge, 2,410 buildings are in rural areas. Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna earlier said the disaster-affected would be shifted to individual residences before winter but not much work on housing has been done in the disaster-hit areas.

A survey of land which is geologically safe for the construction of buildings is on in Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Pithoragarh, and Bageshwar districts. While the State government is still working on housing, some private organisations are providing villagers capital to construct houses.

In Simi, 15 km from Chandrapuri towards Kedarnath, land is sinking as the result of last years disaster. Parvati Devi, whose hotel was completely destroyed due to the sinking, said: The Mandakini eroded the river banks and my hotel crumbled.

Under the government policy, people whose houses got completely destroyed can choose between prefabricated houses and owner-driven constructed houses. They can opt for prefabricated houses or build their houses for which the government will provide Rs 5 lakh per unit.

More than 2,000 people have opted for owner-driven construction. The number of people who have opted for prefabricated houses is around 130.

The 2,500 houses being constructed under the State governments supervision are being funded by the World Bank. The Secretary of Public Works Department, Amit Singh Negi, said that as a World Bank requirement, owner-driven houses should be constructed in safe zones. Work on them had not yet started.

Mr. Negi said: Owner-driven construction sites are in remote areas. Geologists have been inspecting the sites for almost a month now. We will start sending money to people as soon as the geologists send their reports.
