Congratulations to the Trevor Bonot rink on winning the silver medal on Saturday at the world mixed curling championships in Champéry, Switzerland.
Several family members travelled to Switzerland to cheer them on, including their aunt, Diane Bonot.
Our entire district is so proud of you. Way to go!
In my last 20 years of writing the Devlin news, it is fair to say some weeks are more difficult than others to write about what's happening.
This week certainly is one of them—starting here in our own district. And I say district because the sudden passing of the beautiful (inside and out) Kim Clendenning (nee Belluz) has touched our entire area and beyond.
Guthrie United Church will host its annual “Harvest Supper,” featuring turkey, ham, and all the trimmings, this Sunday (Oct. 1) from 5-7 p.m. at the Devlin Hall.
Admission is $18 for adults and $10 for kids aged six-12 (those five and under are free).
Come out for a great evening and to support the community church.
The annual two-day Naicatchewenin First Nation Fall Bass & Walleye Classic on Northwest Bay over the weekend was another great success.
Although the weather was not the best, the 23-team field had a good time.
When the final weigh-in was completed, the top team was Jeremy Shypit and Dave Byrnes with a 17.55-pound total.
Crossroads School in Devlin will hold its annual open house tomorrow (Sept. 14).
Feel free to call school for more information at 486-3329.

An auction and penny table to follow.
Three fires hit our area over the past week.
Gerri Mutz lost her home last Thursday. Our community would like to send her thoughts and prayers as she struggles with the immense loss of her beautiful log home, plus all the belongings and memories a family acquires over many years.
That same day, a fire occurred on Roy Street in Emo, causing intense damage.
The Rainy River Valley Agricultural Society's annual fall fair takes place Aug. 17-19 at the Emo fairgrounds.
There is something for everyone at this event, including 4-H exhibits, the loggers' competition, a huge midway, stock car racing, the steer auction, and, of course, lots of delicious food.
The weather certainly co-operated for the annual Kingsley Downs/Gus Lindberg Memorial slo-pitch tournament held over the weekend at the Devlin Ball Park.
Charlie's Angels went home with the honour of winning the A-side title by defeating the Brew Jays 17-4 in the final Sunday.
The Devlin slo-pitch league will hold its annual Gus Lindberg/Kingsley Downs Memorial Tournament tomorrow through Sunday (July 13-16) at the Devlin Ball Diamond.
There will be plenty of auction on the diamond, as well as a full canteen and beer gardens.
Come out and enjoy the action!
