MEOTA — Oh to be young and full of adventure and life. I think we can all think back to our carefree days when the tops of rubber boots were only a minor challenge. The Northcott and St. Amante girls, the youngest of the three being camera shy, found challenging water in a ditch at the Meota Municipal office this week. I hope you girls enjoyed your outing as much as we enjoyed reminiscing with you.
The Meota Do Drop In was the site of a lively fun-filled day of shuffleboard and cards. After six hours of friendly but serious competition, the winners for the day were determined. Winners were: first - Astor Fransoo and Vern Iverson; second - Karen Kelly and Gordon Klein, third - David Ottas and Bev McCrimmon. A scrumptious potluck lunch was highlighted by Linda Ard's home-brewed beef-barley soup. Everyone went home winners after a great day of socializing playing pool, tile rummy (which I managed to win) and cards and hanging out with friends.
Word of the return of Gerry and Louise Goodheart is scheduled for the near future. The warm weather has brought out a swarm of winter fun seekers. Their high-pitched engine screams can be heard by many in town as they take advantage of the remaining snow near the end of the season. It's great to be out with the guys and girls as we enjoy our toys. No better way to take in the wilds and fresh air.
A sure sign of spring was the snow clearing from around the construction site on 2nd Street West. The metre of snow was cleared out to provide access to the excavated basement site.
Activities for the week included Tuesday bridge. First were Albert Blais and Vern Iverson. In second were Donna Scherman and Bea Prutti and third were Cletus Scherman and Linda Ard. In Thursday bridge Jean Lawes and Fraser Glen were first. Second were Barb Mitchell and Vern Iverson and third were Catriona Winterholt and Donna Scherman. First in “B” were Gerry Raif and Mary Phelps.
Friday canasta winners were: HF - first Albert Huys and Eric Callbeck; second Judy Schmidt and Gail Hilderman. HKF canasta first went to Stela Rendle and Gen Lacerte. In second were Vern Iverson and Dave Sayers. Third were Linda Ard and Lillian S.
