Summer prairie offers a rainbow of colours.

MOETA — It’s with wonder and appreciation that as we travel close to home, we see the crops with bright colours — the yellow canola, the blue flax and the green bearded wheat, as well as the flowers on the blossoming potatoes. It’s nature’s panorama that we all can enjoy.

Our activities for the week saw 21 active senior golfers out. The weather was beautiful; in the low 20s with a light breeze. Top scores went to Al Scott, Dennis Tebay, Kent Morton and Henrietta Tebay, with 32. The runner-up was a foursome with a 33 — Jack Day, Laurie Ward, Annette Duhaime, and Eric Callbeck.

Canasta saw a good turnout on Friday afternoon with 23 people taking part. Top scores went to Linda Ard and Bev McCrimmon. The close runners-up were Karen Kelly and Gail Hilderman. Tuesday afternoon bridge had Yetta DaSilva and Joanne Wiens in first place. Second place went to Terrance DaSilva and Catriona Winterhalt. Thursday night bridge had Al Blais and Linda Ard on top. Dr. Fraser Glen and Jean Lawes were a close second.

 We regret to inform you of the passing of two community leaders. Our longtime correspondent Lorna Pearson. Lorna wrote her weekly column through to the age of 96 and she is sadly missed. Also, Robert Iverson served as mayor of Meota for several years and was also the president of the seniors’ association in Meota. We thank them for their service.
