The now 20-year-old is by no means new to the music scene, but she is somewhat new to the professional side of it. Faouzia said she always loved the arts, singing and dancing every chance she got. She wrote her fi rst song when she just 11 years old. At 11, she was taking classical piano lessons, then soon learned violin, followed by the guitar. “Anything creative, I would just im- merse myself in,” she said. She started performing at communi- ty events in her hometown of Carman when she eight, taking the stage at Faouzia Ouihya is a Moroccan- piano recitals and talent shows alike.

Deana Hendricks of the cheer board said with the pandemic there are a lot of new rules this year, the most diffi cult being the donation of food and gathering restrictions. They had a hamper set up at Homestead Co-op for products purchased at the store, but have since had to take it down due to new rules. The boxes at Home Hardware and Red Apple, however, are still up and OK.

Lemky honoured with Baseball Manitoba Volunteer Appreciation Award By Brian Bowman Erin Lemky was recently honoured with a Base- ball Manitoba Volunteer Appreciation Award. Lemky has been President of Carman Minor Ball since 2015 and continued to lead community clubs for baseball and softball through a challenging, but successful, 2020 season. “It took me for a huge surprise,” said Lemky Sun- day afternoon. “I had no idea that the members of the board were putting that out there. It’s very humbling but when it came out, I sent a message to all of them and said, ‘Thank you, but it’s not just me that does the work.’ “It’s really nice to get recognized, though.” Lemky fi nished her latest term on the board as club president and will now be taking on a different role, but still staying a member of a board of com- mitted volunteers.
