Braving less than balmy conditions to play seniors’ golf at Meota Golf Course Thursday were Ken Morton, Marcel Duhaime, Annette Duhaime and the old-timer Jackfish Day.

MEOTA — A hearty five played golf Thursday, the seniors' morning — Ken Morton, Marcel Duhaime, Annette Duhaime, old-timer Jackfish Day and I. Jack did his usual on the fifth hole and put his drive long and straight down the middle. That left about 180 yards left to reach the green. Marcelle used his Yuma fine-tuning to advantage and dropped it approximately six feet from the flag. Annette being a stalwart anchor put it down. There was a great deal of rejoicing as eagles are fairly rare birds among us seniors. The 5 C weather may have deterred many of golfers but the warm feeling as we left the course made up for any discomfort.

The house on the end of Second Avenue was delivered Thursday. The rain-soaked clay proved to be an obstacle, but with true grit, the 70-foot-long structure was set in place thanks to the Neufeld team and the good construction by Ted.

Activities for the week saw Cletus Sherman and Anna Marie Wallbilling topping bridge play Tuesday. Margaret Dyck and Jean Beattie were second. Third and fourth ended in a tie between David Sharpe and Richard Groves and Gerry Craig and Albert Blais. In Thursday bridge, first were Donna Scherman and Catriona Winterhalt and second were Vern Iverson and David Sharpe. Third were Jean Lawes and Eric Callbeck. Friday Canasta HF winners were Eric Callbeck and Janice Morton. Second were Gail Hildarman and David Sayers. HKF canasta winners were Adele Roschuck and Karen Kelly. Second, were Bev McCrimmon and Allen Sayers and third were Carole Spenst and Vern Iverson.
