8 Last Mountain Times • Monday, September 10, 2018 • lmtimes.ca The Kindness Project in Regina Beach LATEST phones GREATEST prices www.thewirelessage.com FRIES TALLMAN FRIES TALLMAN LUMBER From Foundation to Finishing The colours of Autumn this year are no longer limited to yellow, orange and red - at least that is the case on the pathway which runs alongside the lake at Regina Beach. That landscape is tinged with deep blues, flourescent pink, purple and lime green. It’s because of something called the Kindness Rock Project. It was an impromptu thing started by Buena Vista resident Geneva Haukeness. “I can’t take full credit for this idea,” she says, “It actually came from my husband’s cousin, who lives in Minot and when she came and visited us this summer she had seen all my painted rocks and told me about the Rock Project they do in Minot.” That idea was to leave rocks with messages of kindness, love and inclusion in areas where the public could see them, “I thought it was a great thing to start in Regina Beach and area!”she says. The first rocks she painted and left for others were planted in early August. “I started hiding rocks along the walking path and along main street and outside of some of the local stores and restaurants just to get people excited about finding rocks. They can take a picture of it and post it on the Facebook page, keep the rock or re-hide it for someone else to find! My goal is just to put a smile on someone’s face! I’d also like to see how far these rocks will travel. Who knows, someone may find a rock and re-hide it in a town or city across the country!” Since then, dozens of painted rocks have been spotted along the bike path in Regina Beach and Buena Vista. Local residents have been taking part and placing their message of kindness for all to see. A message which Haukeness has now been asked to deliver to school children in Regina Beach. “I have been asked by South Shore School and the Preschool if I would come in the first day of school and talk to the kids and tell them about the Kindness Rock Project as this year’s focus is Kindness.” What started out as a simple idea has turned taking a walk along the pathway into some kind of wonderment and a reminder that kindness is easy to give. “It makes me so happy that this has taken off like it has,” says Haukenesss, “and that people are participating and sharing and having fun with it! I love this community!” More details about the Kindness Rock Project in Regina Beach can be found on a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/reginabeachrocks/ -by Carol Rose Daniels, Regina Beach House for Sale in Govan, SK A summer cottage not AT the lake, but NEAR the lake Approx. 1400 sq. ft, two-story, 1920’s character home, on well-treed 100 X 200 foot lot.

Nokomis Seniors news Last Mountain Times • Monday, September 10, 2018 • lmtimes.ca 9 Birthday celebrants: (clockwise) Anne Fines, Hazel Chute, Lorri Walker, Ross Reynolds, Lylie Herman, and Hazel Pomfret (front). Photo by Dennis Simpson Nokomis Seniors held a Wizard card party at the Centre on August 21, with 12 players taking part. Winners were Maureen Tait, Judie Purdie and Jim Tait tied for second. Everyone enjoyed the games and the rhubarb cake, home-made chocolate chip cookies, blue berry bran muffins, coffee and tea at half-time. (I’ll always remember Kay Hamilton’s remark that she is not really a card player …she just comes for the lunch!) On Thursday the 23rd, eight players enjoyed an afternoon of cribbage. Winners were Graham Thomson, Dave Smith, and Irvin Kelln of Govan. On the 28th, eight players came for an afternoon of ‘Court Whist’ and the winners (skill or luck?) were Claude McNichol, Ross Reynolds, and Jim Tait. Marvin Gilbertson and Lylie Herman missed the games as they headed into Regina for Lylie’s grandson’s birthday party. On August 31st, about twenty people attended the monthly birthday party at the Centre. Entertainment was provided by Al and Eva Shumaker of Lanigan. Everyone enjoyed a great afternoon of visiting over coffee, cake, ice cream, and strawberries! Birthday celebrants included Hazel Pomfret, Anne Fines, Hazel Chute, Lorri Walker, Ross Reynolds, and Lylie Herman. Ken Edwards was unable to attend. Next birthday party is at the end of November. Crop Report For the period August 28 To September 3, 2018 -club reporter Ilene Harding Overheard at the coffee shop Despite a cool and damp week in much of the province, producers took advantage of breaks in the weather to make considerable harvest progress this week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. Thirty-nine per cent of the crop is now in the bin, well ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average of 25 per cent for this time of year. Thirty-two per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut. Harvest is most advanced in the southwestern region, where 60 per cent of the crop is now combined. The southeastern region has 56 per cent combined, the west-central and the east-central regions has 32 per cent. The northeastern region has 14 per cent combined, while the northwestern region has eight per cent combined. Ninety-seven per cent of fall rye, 92 per cent of winter wheat, 83 per cent of lentils, 86 per cent of field peas, 53 per cent of mustard, 49 per cent of durum, 46 per cent of barley, 28 per cent of spring wheat and 19 per cent of canola have now been combined. Twenty-six per cent of oats, 30 per cent of chickpeas, eight per cent of canaryseed and five per cent of flax have been combined. Fifty-seven per cent of canola, 34 per cent of spring wheat and 11 per cent of mustard are swathed or ready to straight-cut. Not much progress has been made on soybeans, with harvest progress at five per cent combined, similar to the previous week. Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 22 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and 31 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 18 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short and 41 per cent very short. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to lack of moisture and strong wind. There were some reports of frost causing damage in parts of the province. Producers are busy swathing and combining crops. SaskPower reports four cases of farm machinery coming in contact with power equipment over the last week, bringing the total in August to 22. SaskPower reminds everyone to take their time and to be aware of overhead power lines crossing fields and farm yards this harvest season. The wife’s nephew is in the hospital. Minor injury. They were playing archery tag and some idiot brought real arrows. He did win though.
