School Christmas Concert Photos
We have photos inside from the school concert held last Wednesday. It sure was a hoot, and some bright talent shining through from the younger ages this year. There were audience members called on stage to participate in two games. The first game was played with a box of pom pons attached around the waste like fanny pack and had to be emptied of its contents via vigorous booty shaking. Rowyn Whitney was the victor that time, beating Craig, Nick, and Curtis as the first with an empty box. The second game placed a cookie on contestants forehead and required them to maneuver the cookie down their face using gravity (no touching) and to get it in their mouth. That one was won by Stacey Breen, who beat out Gwen and Bryce to become victorious. The final event of the night was a touching tribute to Ivan and Anita Wilson from the students and thunderous applause from the audience, and included candy bags donated by Ivan and Anita to all the children..
Important Ambulance Information
One of the most important factors that affects our ability to draw new people here and which also allows us to exist in this remote corner of Saskatchewan is our ability to get adequate and timely health care. The "timely" part is where we have an issue. This is not usually how we would present such informational content, but this week we are including a letter to the editor from former Eastend Mayor Scott Morvik which details the goings on in relation to our ambulance. That would be the ambulance bought and paid for by the town and rm for our exclusive use. I won't go more into it, please read the letter from Mr.Morvik inside.
