GADSBY/WESTWOODS NEWS -- This past Wednesday, Nov. 23 there was a widespread power outage east of Stettler, including Botha, Gadsby and Shooting Lake areas, stretching up as far east as the Saskatchewan border. Personally, we were out for 20 hours. Some had power as early as 6:30 a.m., while others, like ourselves, had power around 3:30 p.m. We are very grateful to the work crews for the many long hours they put in. The heavy, wet fog was apparently the culprit.
