BYEMOOR ENDIANG NEWS, Sep 23

By Les and Rosemary Stulberg

Byemoor School hosted its annual Terry Fox Run on Friday, Sept. 22. The school students and others who joined in raised approximately $4,300. That’s a very impressive amount for a small school. Congratulations to all the runners and sponsors on a job well done.

Lee Carothers was the guest of honour at a surprise garden party on Sept. 2 as an early celebration of her 80th birthday. Lee’s birthday is actually on Nov. 12 but it’s hard to hold an outdoor garden party in November so an earlier date was chosen to celebrate. We hope you enjoyed your party and congratulations on your special milestone, Lee.

Sympathy is extended to the family of Gary Flamond who passed away on Sept. 4 in Olds at the age of 70 years. Gary lived in Byemoor for about 15 years and was well liked by all who knew him. His funeral service held in Olds on Sept. 11 was attended by some local folks.

We welcome Trevor and Dawn McConnell from B.C. to the Endiang community. They are renting the former Mickey Tucker place. We hope you enjoy your new location, Trevor and Dawn.

Humour for the Day

  • “Some things are better left unsaid. Which I generally realize right after I have said them.”

  • “A little known fact – Before the crowbar was invented most crows drank at home.”

  • “The invention of the shovel was ground breaking, but it was the invention of the broom that truly swept the nation.”
