MEOTA — Here we have reason to feel thankful. It was another mild spring week and no major mishaps to report. We curling enthusiasts can yell and scream as our Canadian girls kept their faith and went on to beat South Korea in a hard-fought battle. It was great the way the team stuck together without any finger-pointing or distention. Go, Canada.
The Meota Golf Club held their annual meeting this past week. The current board members are Jim Cole, Dale Johnson, Derrick Schaffer, Kirsten Bru, Derek Chapman, Colin Sharpe, Murray Walker, Sven Gerein, Randy Sharp and Cory Iverson. The directors chose their executive. Hugette Johnson will remain as club manager for another year. The head groundskeeper will continue to be Travis Moccasin.
The clubhouse building fund continues to grow, but so does the construction cost. A community drive will be undertaken to try to stay ahead of inflation.
The ice shacks are quickly finding new berths on shore as the April 1 deadline looms. Some reported fighting slush and water, but those obstacles are being overcome.
Thanks to our current leader our fuel costs continue to soar. Unfortunately, the NDP decided to back Mr. T to prevent the non-confidence motion. Some things seem to remain the same with the west supporting the east. Mr. T was recently referred to as Mr. Robin Good as he administers the fuel tax rebates. Hopefully, better days are ahead.
