First; Congrats to Jason Kenney for winning the leadership of the United Conservative Party. Now his work really begins! First he has to win a seat in the Legislature. We're all hoping that Premier Notley will announce a by-election very soon so that process can begin! Next he'll have to rally his troops to come up with a plan other that just "Dump Notley's NDP"! They'll have to outline a plan to get Alberta rolling again!
Second; And Congrats to Al Henuset who is Beiseker's new Mayor! Having worked with Al for many years, I believe he will make a very good mayor for our little village. I was pleased to hear that Warren Wise was chosen as Deputy Mayor, too. Also a good choice!
Third; I was most honoured to be presented with my Senators Contribution Award at a celebration at the Community Center a few weeks ago. It was humbling to be included among such worthy recipients during the ceremony. Member of Parliament Martin Shields made the presentations. A big thanks to Jeanette Richter and her volunteers for organizing the celebration!
Fourth; Where's her spelling textbook? I noted that one of my Junior High teachers passed away recently. She was almost a hundred years old! I remember her and her very strict rules on manners and politeness. For example, at junior high dances she used to march around the Gym with a spelling textbook. If she thought a young couple were getting too close during a slow dance, she would place the book, flat side between them. That was the distance they had to be apart! Oh have times changed!

Honoured
Last Monday night, just before we convened our July Council Meeting, I was most honoured to be presented with a Senator's Contribution Award!
The award was presented to me through the office of the Honourable Doug Black, Q.C., an Alberta Senator. I was very pleased and honoured to accept this award. My wife and I have always enjoyed volunteering. It is one way we can give back to the community we enjoy living in so much!
Thank you to our CAO Jo Lambert and our village staff for nominating me for this most appreciated award. To be sure, our volunteer efforts will continue after I retire from Council this fall.
