Students of the Month!
joyed a week’s holiday on a Disney Cruise returning home on Sunday, January 31. While in Regina they also visited with Jeff Cowan. On Sunday, January 31 Bud Phenix moved back to Alida to make his home in the Alida Housing Authority Unit. Welcome back to Alida Bud, it’ll be great seeing you around and about. Kitchen Group # 2 hosted their second Sunday breakfast on January 31 and what a day they had! They served 65 and also had 5 take-outs for a brand new Record total of 70. WOW – Way to go guys and gals! I’m sure that the great weather also helped with the attendance numbers. Newalta’s volunteer helpers on Sunday were Chris Van Somer and his wife Amanda – again we appreciate the help that Newalta is offering us. Hey Chris, you must be throwing out a big Challenge to Skylar to see if she can help break the attendance record? Skye you’ve got your work cut out for yourself – Go – Girl – Go – we are cheering for you (ha ha). This week we also saw guests from Carnduff, Glen Ewen, Redvers and Weyburn – do appreciate all the support given towards this event from here at home and from visiting communities. Hope to see everyone again next Sunday when Group # 3 will be at the helm once again. I enjoyed another weekend of curling on the television, well actually only four games – the semi and final games of the Junior Women and Men. The Nova Scotia junior women won over BC and for the junior men had Manitoba defeating N Ontario. These young people should really do curling a bonus as they advance to the next event. I’m also so disappointed that they didn’t cover any of the Provincial Women games for the remaining four provinces, and Saskatchewan was one of the provinces curling this weekend. I only got the odd curling clip up-date on the local news channel.

On Tuesday, January 26 Newalta made a presentation to the Alida Hall/Rink Auxiliary to help cover the cost of Sunday Breakfasts (the proceeds would eventually go towards the new kitchen area at the rink renovations). Presentation was made by Chris Van Somer (manager of the Alida and Halbrite Newalta branches) and Skylar Mailhiot (Newalta operator, Alida) to Sheri Patton (Auxiliary treasurer). The Auxiliary appreciates the assistance that Newalta is providing towards these Sunday Breakfasts. Visiting with Glennis Peterson this past week were her daughters Donna McDonald (Lang) and Terry Ann Nolin (Rivers, MB). The girls were here to help their mother pack up her belongings etc. and get ready to move to her new home in Weyburn. The Alida Golden Gate is now open every Tuesday afternoon for anyone who wishes to have a game of cards. Following the card games on Tuesday, January 26 a small gathering of friends came to say good-bye to a long-time resident of Alida, Glennis Peterson, who has decided to make her new home in Weyburn where she’ll be closer to her daughter and family. She left Alida on Friday, January 29. Best wishes Glennie in your new home. Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of Graham McIntyre (Carnduff), who had passed away on January 27, 2016 at the age of 86 at the Galloway Health Centre. Graham, wife Marion and family had farmed in the Alida area for many years. In later years when their health began to fail they moved to Carnduff. Funeral service was held at Carnduff United Church on Monday, February 1. Murray and Adam Cowan (Estevan) spent a couple of days (January 29-30) visiting at the farm with parents/grandparents, Gray and Edel. Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan en-
