Believe it or not, on April 1, some not very bright person put hot ashes into the FireSmart wood-waste area at Interlakes “Dump,” necessitating a call to Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) to extinguish the “bush fire.”
Leave your ashes outside, in a metal bin on a non-flammable surface, until they’ve had several days to become thoroughly cold.
Condolences
Sadly, we recently lost two respected citizens.
Kim Walters, a major asset to Bridge Lake Fair Association, passed away March 5, and is sadly missed by its members and many other friends.
Larry Nixdorf, who arrived here as a child and, much later, moved to Barriere, passed away March 7 at the age of 66. A Celebration of Life for Larry will be held at Deka Firehall at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 1.
Friends send deepest condolences to both their families and friends.
