Excitement coursedthrough the village this past week as the K & S paving crew worked hard in preparation for the final pave. Not sure if all is finished this Sunday, but most is done and looking fine.
There has been much controversy regarding the boil water notice in town with some wondering how long it will be in effect for. More information is needed so people know what’s going on and when boiling is necessary. The small printed sign put up at the post office Sunday afternoon would never catch your eye as something important enough to read. I just happened to be sitting in front of the post office bulletin board when the fellow posted it. Next council meeting is June 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers where the matter will likely be discussed.
We have enjoyed watching a robin make good use of the bird bath out my window. He bathes regularly, as does the cowbird that frequents the feeder, too.
Duplicate bridge played in the Do Drop In May 22 saw Cletus Scherman and Catriona Winterholt take top place. Tied for second were Gerry Craig and Gerry Fernandes along with Vern Iverson and Eric Callbeck. Third were Glen and Julie Moore. In the city’s Pioneer Hall May 24, top place went to Vern Iverson and David Sharpe, second were Jean Lawes and Fraser Glen and third place went to Linda Ard and Robert Iverson. This was a great evening with 22 players coming out to take part and enjoy the fellowship that goes with it.
The Red Hat Spring Fling hosted by the Maidstone group of eight Red Hatters proved to be an interesting and entertaining day May 23. The theme for the day was western, so most were dressed in cowboy attire of some sort. Both of the Battleford groups had members attend in Queen Vivian Seib and Ambassador Evelyn McKay. My daughter Beth Wynne from Taber, Alta. enjoyed her day and was happy to meet up with Marilyn McGown who grew up in the same area as Beth in northern Saskatchewan. She met other ladies she knew before also.
Beulah Corbeil in Harwood Manor had a delightful surprise over the long weekend when both her sons and their wives showed up for a visit. They were Blair and Erna from Beaumont, Utah and Marcel and Kim from Layton, Utah. Also to visit Beulah from St. Paul, Alta. were Irene and Omer Thibault and from Saskatoon was her granddaughter Jessica Corbeil. All visits are appreciated and playing cards is one of her favourite things to do.
