The sun is shining again this morning after a few days of cool cloudy weather. Some moisture in the form of snow fell in places, but it melted as soon as it fell. However, harvest operations have been held up. Good progress was being made with one or two farmers having completed combining.
Congratulations to Lanelle Freeston who placed third in the annual Glo-Run for Cystic Fibrosis that took place in Lloydminster recently. She ran the distance in 55.24 minutes and received a third-place medal.
Lanelle, the daughter of Melanie (Pike) and Morris Freeston, has been an avid runner for a long time and enjoys the sport. She recently spent five months overseas, much of that time with a cousin in Bristol, England, and they both participated in five- and 10-kilometre runs. Lanelle lives and is employed in Lloydminster.
John and Calynda Evans and family of Calgary spent several days with John’s parents Keith and Eileen Evans. John helped with the harvest. Their son Logan is now in kindergarten so Calynda and the children returned to Calgary before John.
Congratulations to Cerise (Pike) and Nelson De Almida on the birth of their second child, Catia, Sept. 8. Catia is a sister for Dominic, who is pleased to have a new member of the family. Catia is also a new grandchild for Keith and Debbie Pike and a great-grandchild for Lois Pike. The De Almida family are residents of Loon Lake.
