10 Last Mountain Times • Monday, October 29, 2018 • lmtimes.ca Guides Cookie Blitz The 2nd Strasbourg Guide Unit, all pumped up and ready to SELL COOKIES! 18111DA0 On Oct 9th the 2d Strasbourg Girl Guides gathered at the Wildlife Hall, to prep for the semi-annual Cookie Blitz. (The fall ones are mint flavoured!) Hotdogs and juice were made ready to fortify them for the big event. Much appreciated was Joy Strueby who not only helped me in the kitchen, but also took a group of girls out as well. Karen Hancock and Karla Fletcher-Hegglin, the girl guide leaders coordinated the blitz as well as got the girls pumped for action. Where are we going? Door to door. What are we going to do? SELL COOKIES!! The excitement mirrored on their faces is in the pictures. What a huge success it was, and so much fun. So much so that it was repeated the very next week! On Oct 16th, again the girls met at the hall; had a few minutes to play a game or two, then had their hotdogs, juice and treats . Added to the girls’ leaders, were Brenda Laliberte, Rachelle Fuller, Joy Strueby, and Pathfinder Hannah Kozachuk, who also had her own group as well. Did I mention we also have more girls this time around? Growing greatness ...yes we are! The Launch! -info and photo submitted by Guider Barb On September the 22nd, at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, over 800 Girl Guides from all four corners of our province met to celebrate the launch of our new program “Girls First”. Karen Hancock and Karla Fletcher Hegglin, from 2d Strasbourg Girl Guides took their girls (Sparks to Pathfinders) to share in the exciting ground breaking event. The new program is more flexible, more aimed at changing needs and interests, and more about empowering the girls. We are stepping into the future …Hello? However, some things will stay the same - camps, badges, cookies, etc. Other members attending from our Long Lake District were Janice Graessli, Brenda Laliberte, Barb Boughner (we manned stations) and Cheryl Dodds brought her Lumsden girls. Our District Commissioner Debbie Mayer was there, as well as Laurie Lanovaz, the Provincial Commissioner and special guest Krysta Coyle, Guiding Ambassador. It was really cold and windy but of course that didn’t stop the guiding lights, nor slow them down. Troopers all. There were 22 stations set up, everything from science to photo booth, and singing and dancing as well. A lot to see, a lot to do. A lot of inspiring things happening. So heart-filling, truly. We were even on the playing field listening to the beautiful voice of our own Janice G. over the loud speakers leading us in song. Surreal. We were treated to a most delicious lunch of burgers and veggie trays, and for supper we had pizza. Boxes and boxes and boxes of every kind of pizza. You need many when you are hundreds and hundreds! Yes we are moving into the future and making history along the way. -Guider Barb. Photos by Guider Karen. Semans news Semans and District Fire and Rescue cooked up 175 delicious steaks and 25 hamburgers on Saturday, Oct. 20 at their annual fall fundraiser event. There was a great crowd of people there to support a much appreciated local organization. The meat was generously donated by Richardson Pioneer Southey. The winner of the 50/50 draw was Greg Dunlop. Semans Drop-In Centre hosted a successful Soup and Sandwich lunch on Tuesday, Oct. 23. The winner of the draws were: Bob Mann (50/50); Morgan Hendry (quilt); and Marci Macomber ( Christmas table runner). The Seniors’ next event is a bingo in November. Harvest in the Semans area is pretty well wrapped-up for another season. Fall field work is going on and lots of leaves and gardens are being cleaned up for winter. Hint for the weatherman: now that harvest is done, we wouldn’t mind a bit of snow to hide those leaves and gardens!! -Lynn Gettis
Last Mountain Times • Monday, October 29, 2018 • lmtimes.ca Nokomis Seniors October update Overheard at the coffee shop 11 In my September news update (published in the October 1st issue) Hazel phoned me to ask when they moved Halifax to Ontario. Sorry about that! What do they say ...two heads are better than one? The editor never picked up on my mistake, lol, so I guess Halifax is still in Nova Scotia. Pretty sharp, Hazel! (Editor’s note: there IS a Halifax Place in Ontario.) On October 2nd, we held our Monthly Meeting with nine members present. It was a short meeting, with a long coffee break. Nice. On Tuesday, October 9th we had 3 tables of players for our 500 Car Party. Winners were: Ray Purdie, Nokomis (1st); Irvin Kelln, Govan (2nd); Ilene Harding, Nokomis (3rd). Dallas Felske, Nokomis, won the travelling prize. I made a suggestion that the one who wins it should donate a prize for the next time, as its just a fun thing. As always, lunch was served at half time. Also on the 9th, Marvin Gilbertson and Lylie Herman attended a Seniors Directors meeting in Kenaston, then went on to Saskatoon the next day to help at the trade show booth at the “Spot Light for Seniors” event. On Tuesday, the 16th, we had 14 players for our Wizzard card game. That one table (of all men) was sure noisey! I guess they were really enjoying the game. For those who haven’t yet played: it is a game of luck, more than skill. Big winners were Ray Purdie (1st); Lylie Herman (2nd); Dallas Felske (3rd). 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw Second time in 5 years Crop Report For period October 16 to 22 After multiple weeks of delay, many producers were able to return to the field and complete harvest. Thanks to warm and dry weather last week, producers now have 92 per cent of the 2018 crop harvested, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. This is up from 82 per cent last week, but slightly behind the five-year (2013-17) average of 94 per cent for this time of year. While many producers have wrapped up harvest or expect to in the coming days, the rest will need at least another week or more of warm and dry weather. Harvest is most advanced in the southwestern region, where 97 per cent of the crop is now combined. The southeastern and northeastern regions have 95 per cent combined, the west-central region 90 per cent and the east-central region 89 per cent. The northwest has made tremendous progress this past week and now has 82 per cent combined. Ninety-six per cent of barley and mustard, 94 per cent of durum, 92 per cent of spring wheat, 90 per cent of canola, 80 per cent of flax and 73 per cent of soybeans have now been combined. Crops Everyone enjoyed half-time lunch. On Thursday, October 18th, we held an Open Cribbage Tournament at the Nokomis Senior Centre. It attracted players from Nokomis, Drake, Watrous, Simpson, Govan and Strasbourg. We are thankful for the beautiful, sunny warm day, and that kept a few away harvesting, which was also good to hear. Cribbage winners were Lylie Herman, Nokomis (1st); Marilyn Crawford, Simpson (2nd); and Eileen Brewer, Strasbourg (3rd). A delicious lunch of chili, buns, and desserts was included with the registration fee. The following week, on the 23rd, it was Court Whist Day at the Seniors Centre. We had 13 players there, with Winston Felske taking first; Doreen Riach taking second, and Ilene Harding taking third place. Coffee, tea and donuts (compliments of the Nokomis Last Mountain Coop store) were enjoyed at half-time. It was nice to see Ken and Ruth Edwards, now of Regina, out again. They were also here for the Fowl Supper on the 21st. A seniors Regional Meeting was held at the Centre on Wednesday, October 24th, with members coming from Kenaston, Allan, Lanigan, Semans, and Nokomis. That’s all the news for now. Watch for the November activity schedule. Thought For The Day: One thing nice about making new friends - they haven’t heard all of our old stories. -club reporter, Ilene Harding The world’s most famous women’s curling national championship is making a rapid return to a city that rolled out the welcome mat in style three years ago. The 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will be played Feb. 14-23 at Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw, Sask., it was announced last week by Curling Canada. Moose Jaw played host to the 2015 Canadian Women’s Curling Championship, drawing 70,047 fans — the 11th-best attended Scotties in the history of the event. “Curling and Saskatchewan go hand in hand, and we saw first-hand in 2015 how Moose Jaw supports the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, so I know this was an easy decision for Curling Canada’s events team,” said Maureen Miller, Chair of Curling Canada’s Board of Governors. “Mosaic Place is a superb facility, and there is a dedicated group of volunteers and fans in Moose Jaw who will make the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and overwhelming success.” In addition to hosting the 2015 Scotties, Mosaic Place also played host to the 2012 Canada Cup of Curling, which broke attendance records for the event, and the 4,500-seat facility is perfectly suited to hosting the crown jewel of Canadian women’s curling. “The City of Moose Jaw is thrilled to host the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts,” said Mayor Fraser Tolmie. “Moose Jaw has a passion for championship curling. This is the second time we have been chosen to host the Scotties in our world-class facility, Mosaic Place, and we are very excited to extend our hospitality and provide some world-class curling!” The winner of the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will represent Canada at the 2020 World Women’s Championship. The 2019 Scotties Tournament of Hearts is scheduled for Feb. 16-24 in Sydney, N.S. -media release continue to come off tough in many areas and are being placed in dryers when available. Little to no rainfall was reported across the province. Topsoil moisture conditions are relatively unchanged over the last few weeks. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 65 per cent adequate, 28 per cent short and five per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 56 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and eight per cent very short. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to lodging, bleaching and sprouting. Geese and other wildlife continue to feed on swathed crops, while some standing crops have shelled out. Producers are completing fall work such as putting down fertilizer, working fields, fixing fences and hauling bales. This is the last weekly Crop Report for the season. There will be a final Crop Report released on November 8, 2018, to capture any additional harvest progress and to summarize the crop year. The wife said she’d like to take a pottery throwing class. I said I thought she was pretty good at it already. Then the fight started...
