Beausejour and Powerview absorb overflow from surrounding areas as Pine Falls fills. Desks and heat delays slow progress amid unfinished classrooms and shipping delays for teaching furniture.

Bill McDougal Wins Lac du Bonnet Golf Tourney
Bill McDougal of Lac du Bonnet captured the Lac du Bonnet Golf Tournament on Sunday September 3 as thirty four residents and campers competed at Pine Falls Golf Course. Winnipeg’s Bill Rutherford placed second and Bob Hunter of Lac du Bonnet third. George Campbell won the high score prize amid cold winds and humorous antics from locals including a playful nickname for Chief Veilloux Lucky Valoux. The event featured a problematic second shot for McDougal that broke his three wood, with the head traveling farther than the ball, and a turkey dinner at the nineteenth hole hosted by R Dodman and Jim Sherle. E Semple and A S King were elected to run next year’s tournament.
