Spring has returned with many summer birds and animals arriving or coming out of hibernation, making for a brighter scene. Up north the eagles have returned and the otters are playing out on the ice. The millions of flocks of geese are enjoying their days on the fields and nights on the water, all across the province.

A pair of moose were seen south of Meota recently, and almost made those who spotted them think they were albino, their colour was so pale, but healthy looking, otherwise.

Golf is full go out on the golf course these days, so hope folks start up their schedules again. The weather has been good for that so it will be nice to get out and play there again.

The Battlefords Bridge Club continues, even if their report doesn’t. Sorry, we missed last week, but have it now. April 18, with two and a half tables playing, top score went to Barbara Mitchell and Vern Iverson. In second place were Cathy Williams and Gerry Craig. April 20, with three tables, found David Sharpe and Vern Iverson in first place followed by Jean Lawes and Eric Callbeck. April 25, with three and a half tables, Terrance

Dasilva and Vern Iverson were in first. place. Second were Etta Meisner and Donna Scherman and third were Jetta Dasilva and Albert Blais. April 27, with three and a half tables, A section winners were Barbara Mitchell and Donna Scherman. Second were Vern Iverson and David Scharpe; third were Anne Crozier and Donna Scherman. B section winners were Anne Crozier and Cletus Scherman.

April 21 found 22 keen canasta players settled in Meota, so one table of six was set up to balance out the players. The top score went to Cora Christiansen and Dave Sayers, second to Albert Huys and Eric Call- beck followed closely by Linda Ard and Stella Rendle. It was a nice day and a lovely outing for everyone.

April 27 there were three and a half tables of bridge players waiting to get into Pioneer Hall. In the A section, first were Barbara Mitchell and Donna Scherman. Second were Vern Iverson and David Sharpe with third going to

Anna Crozier and Donna Scherman. In section B winners were Anna Crozier and Cletus Scherman.

April 27 the entertainment at The Lady Minto Centre in Edam was led by Charles and Anne Baillargeon from Meota, and it was enjoyed by all attending, from the Manor and the surrounding area. They are always a breath of fresh air to lighten your day. While I usually don’t say anything about my goings on I have to admit that the sight of mother and daughter walking the hospital hallway did draw some attention, one from Edam the other from Leduc, Alta. but all is positive now, and both are going home. Thanks for everyone’s patience with me.
