Congratulations to Leah (Cheesbough) Nabis who completed classes at Lakeland College on March 20 as an LPN. She has consistently received high marks so was on the Dean's honour list. She will be doing her practicum in Medicine Hat.
Throughout her studies, Leah has taken care of her family and worked in the lab at Lloydminster Hospital. She has been awarded bursaries from both Lloydminster and Maidstone Health Care as well as from the college.
Graduation exercises will take place on June 7. Our best wishes are with you and your family, Leah!
Our congratulations also, to Jamie and Lynn Campbell on the birth of their first child. Lucas Edward Campbell was born in Lloydminster Hospital. He was born on that stormy March 20, the first day of spring.
Congratulations to first time grandparents, Kathy and Ross Campbell and to Ruth and Gerald Yousie of Colonsay. Besides the proud grandparents, congratulations go out to Walter and Joyce Campbell on their first "Campbell" grandchild.
March 24, the Waseca Playground Committee had a beautiful, sunny day for their Easter Extravaganza. The day went well with some entertainment for all including an Easter egg hunt for the children. Donations from the pie sale and the committee's new-to-you garage sale table were appreciated.
The committee is working hard to build and update Waseca's playgrounds. Their next fundraiser will be on April 19 when they will sponsor Waseca's first fish fry. The supper will begin at 5 p.m. followed by a live auction. Watch for posters with further information for this event.
Did you know that the seven-day week, even though it is first truly man-made unit of time and even though revolutionaries have tried, unsuccessfully, to get rid of it, appears to be here to stay? Unlike the year and the month, which correspond to the movements of the sun, the week has no astronomical analogue.
Officially adopted by the Emperor Constantine in 321 A.D., the seven-day week goes back thousands of years before that to the first civilizations of the Middle East.
