MEOTA — Wow, what a bonanza. The Meota Lakeshore Lions annual car sink raffle had an unexpected winner. The fine young gentleman in the photo is Kayce Stevenson. He received the cheque of $1,000 from Lion Lynn Sansregret. He was out of the official sink time by only six minutes. Way to go, young man, and here's hoping the proud parents limit the candy purchases to under 100. A large, ongoing project taken on by the Lions is a children's playground, so thanks to all who bought tickets and helped contribute to that cause.
The issue that has arisen with the Do Drop In is a major water leak in the incoming fresh water lines to the building. The seniors were told the bill could be substantial but hydrovacing and excavating should put a better handle on the cost. Funding avenues will need to be explored when the work commences and liability is defined. A temporary water source has been obtained, so thanks to good neighbours, limited activities can continue. We will keep you posted.
The warm weather has seen renewed construction activity. The basement on the end of Second Avenue West and the show home at the marina site are showing progress.
A trip north of Jackfish Lake almost ended in disaster. Two large Canada Geese were exerting their rights to a narrow roadway. Luckily good brakes and a bit of caution avoided a collision. On reflection, a 15-pound goose could be a major obstacle for a plastic car. Don't think there would be a winner to this altercation.
