We all know one of the key components to staying healthy is getting exercise and trying to move all body parts. Yes, you guessed it, walking. Mayfair Library is hosting a walking program Tuesday afternoons at 1:30 p.m., weather permitting. For information call Dora at 306-246-4848.
Hats off to bus drivers. Two buses leave Mayfair area early every morning. Bev Thomas has been driving school buses for 33 years and says she is not getting tired of it. She enjoys seeing her passengers with the earliest pickup at 7:15 a.m. en route to Spiritwood and returning home a few minutes before 5 p.m. While driving, she was fortunate to have a job at the former Spiritwood Shop Easy store for 10 years. Before that she was employed at the co-op store, while the late Elmer Wiebe was the manager.
Four families of second generation students to ride her bus include Prescesky, Pomedli, Scott (Salisbury) and Rogers (Bachledor) families.
She and her husband Morris have three adult children,a handful of grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She is also a seamstress and has been a member of Old Mills live theatre group in Mayfair for years.
Hafford, which is southeast of Mayfair, has a route with 16 children and a second generation Toews family operate the bus with Living Sky School Division transportation department (same as Bev’s employer).
Both buses have adequate room since social distancing and mask wearing are mandatory. The children travel in 48-passenger buses.
The families with school aged children sure appreciate the kindness of Bev and the Toews family towards their children.
