Editor's Note: Cyber gremlins pitched this submission into a black hole. We apologize for its tardy publication. Maymont Central School annual Remembrance Day Service was held at 10:45 a.m., Nov. 8.

Morris Stewart of Leduc, Alta. spent Saturday night visiting with her mom Jean Stewart. Sunday evening Marion Staughton took her mom Jean Stewart, Tillie Linkert, Frances Peterson and I to the Amurud's music at the Anglican Church.

North Battleford Housing Authority and Battleford Housing Authority have named the 2013 Yard Pride Contest winners.

The school was full of white and green Nov. 22 as the SLC sponsored Rider Pride Day. There were T-shirts, jerseys, hats, socks, scarves and even pom-poms. A green Rider Nation flag was hanging in the foyer and we sent our best wishes to our team.

Sunday was a beautiful mild day. Of course, that had been ordered for the Grey Cup game! After several days of cold weather, it was a treat to be outside. Cooler temperatures are forecast for later in the week.

Any plans that were had for Grey Cup activities sure didn't hinder the attendance to the fourth annual toy bingo in Wilkie. The event put on by Prairie Branches (formerly WILS) was run by staff and volunteers and was, in fact, a big success.

My parents, aunts and uncles were all Rider fans. Growing up in Regina, I went to all the games and sat in the children's section. I won't say I remember 1957, which would have made me 10 years old, but that's the year I became a fan.

First off a couple of glitches from last week. Tickets are needed for the play in Glaslyn Thursday, Dec. 5, and they are selling fast. The bridge is contract bridge, not 'contact' and Pat's name is 'Ribey' not Riley. Sorry.

It was an opportunity to hear from children from the Battlefords about their rights. Last week, National Child Day was celebrated in the Battlefords with the reading, by local children, of a charter of rights created specially for this community.
