ALIDA - As of the beginning of May, our postmistress, Linda Akins, has been employed for 23 years at the Alida Post Office. That is unbelievable. Where does the time go? Then on May 6 Linda received a 30-year plaque from Canada Post. Congratulations Linda

Sincere sympathy to Bill and Dick McKinna on the death of their mother Joyce McKinna, who passed away at Sunset Haven in Carnduff on May 2 at the age of 99 years. She was predeceased by her husband, Dave; parents George and Edith Meredith; brothers Edwin (Rita) and Allan (Audrey); sister Stella (Bill) Slade; daughter, Glennis Carson and son David. Joyce is survived by sons, Jack, William, Richard and Ron; four grandchildren and their families, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

A private family graveside service will be held at the Carnduff Cemetery. Condolences are extended to all family members and friends.

The Alida community wishes to welcome Darrell Dench and his wife Sheri Miller, formerly of Sedley. They will be making their new home in the former Reid house on First Street West. We hope you will enjoy your new home in our little community.  

Faye Walker spent May 5-8 in Saskatoon, visiting with her family: daughter Deidra, Jeff Nickel, granddaughters Olivia, Abby, Claire and Piper, and they all celebrated Mother’s Day on May 8 before she returned home to Alida. Faye also attended the funeral of her brother-in-law, Dean Walker, on May 7.

Kelsey Rydberg, Steven Wilson and dogs of Estevan, along with Gray and Edel Cowan, enjoyed a Mother’s Day supper on May 8 with Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan. They helped Ainsley celebrate her birthday as well. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms.
