A small turnout at the community planning meeting held in the Waseca Community Centre March 10 did not deter a lively discussion by those present.
Lenore Swystun of Prairie Wild Consulting was present to lead the discussion. She will be spending some time in the community in the near future, knocking on doors and trying to solicit information from individuals. Chris Schmaltz, Northwest Enterprise Region economic development officer will be assisting.
As an "onlooker" I hope the purpose of the meetings and information gathering will soon become more clear.
Arlee Lumgair spent most of the last week at the home of her daughter, Shawna Lumgair in Meadow Lake. Both of Shawna's children had their tonsils removed, so Arlee was able to provide help and comfort to Shawna and family.
Truckloads of snow are being removed from the village. It is hoped this removal will help to avoid the flooding which occurs each spring.
Accompanying this column is a snapshot of a weasel that is making itself at home around the Girbov home site. It helps itself to food scraps in the porch. Weasels are once again becoming more plentiful, both the short-tailed and long-tailed varieties. Weasels can be a pest, but in most cases they destroy farm pests such as mice and rats. We have been seeing more of them in recent months.
