Dominion City News
By Shirley Berrington
It was a beautiful
weekend and nice
temps are predicted
for this week as well, so
hopefully some of our
snow will melt before
we get anymore. In the
meantime we will sure
enjoy this gorgeous
sunshine, which seems
to be making our daylight
hours much longer. The
deer are really invading
the town looking for
food in the deep snow.
They’re even stealing
from the bird feeders.
Best wishes for
a speedy recovery go
out to Hugh Lamont
following his surgery
on Friday. Also, his
grandson Keenan, who
had a nasty fall and had
to have surgery on his
knee the same day.
We were shocked
to hear of the sudden
passing of Andy Sirski
of Winnipeg, formally of
Dominion City, and well

It is so nice to see
more of the sun these
days and we are very
happy to have some nice
temperatures as well. If
any of my readers will
be heading for the Forks
any time soon you must
see the Crokicurling that
is taking place. This is the
brainchild of architects
Muir and Wreford, of
Public City Architecture.
I must mention it is the
company that Mary Jane
(Grandson Adam’s) wife
is employed with. The
game is really a spinoff
of the original Crokinole
and mixed with curling
makes it very interesting.
This is bringing back the
fun of the old crokinole
boards coming back
to the table with lots
of competition during
these winter days!!!
Valentines day has
already been celebrated
known in the area. Our
sincere sympathy goes
out to his wife Pat and
their family.
