Youngstown Communiqué, Mar. 28, 2021

Reported by Robert Blagen

I would like to send my sincere sympathies out to the family and friends of Elaine Woods of Oyen, who passed away on Sunday, March 21. Elaine was 95 years of age.

A word of caution to everyone. With the overly dry conditions these days, please take all necessary precautions to prevent any fires. I have noticed our local fire trucks heading out as well as have heard of other fire department trucks from other area districts being called out to fight fires. We sure could use moisture, be it in the form of snow or rain. I myself would prefer rain, but will be happy to get it any way we can.

On Monday I had a visit with Bill Laughlin, a former resident of town. I met him at the Small Town Cafe as he was stopping in to try out the cuisine on his way through to making a delivery to Saskatoon. Happy Spring everyone!
