Spiritwood boys win third provincial curling title

Meota News: Twelve teams in Edam open spiel

MEOTA ‑ How good it will be when our streets are all cleared off. Right now there are some terrific ruts and water spots, as there are still huge piles of snow everywhere. Some streets were even blocked after the last storm, but that should be the last of it for this year. 

The Spiritwood High School boys won the 2022 provincial curling gold in Swift Current. Those on the team were Bohdan Booth, Owen Beaulac, Jayden Dauvin and skip Deon Laventure. They won every game along the way to the gold. This is the third year in a row for Spiritwood boys to win.

Bridge was played in the Pioneer Hall Tuesday, March 22 with individual scores recorded. First was Donna Scherman. Second was Gerry Craig and tied for third were Margaret Dyck and Linda Ard. March 24 individual scoring saw Eric Callbeck on top. In second was Dave Creegan and tied for third were Catriona Winterholt and Fraser Glen.

March 25, in the Do Drop In, folks played canasta. There were 11 players, so one table of three played individually. Playing on his own, top score went to Dave Ottas, followed by Albert Huys and Linda Ard. Third were Eric Callbeck and Marion Ottas.

Former Meota resident for many years, Allie Raycraft, who has been a resident in Caleb Village, moved to Blaine Lake March 27, to live with her daughter, Sharon Hampton. We wish her a happy life there, but she will be missed by many local people.

A former Spiritwood resident who passed away at St. Paul, Alta. March 14 was Geraldine (Charlebois) Bowes, who will be remembered by her many friends back there.
