The last Wednesday for the landfill transfer station to be open will be Oct. 5. After that date, winter hours will be in effect, with the station open only on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Hats off to Sonny Gallant for keeping our local landfill transfer station so neat and tidy.
Congratulations to Jesse and Tomi (nee McCrindle) Turnbull on the birth of their first baby, daughter Leila Daphane, on Sept. 21. Leila weighed seven pounds and was born at the Stettler hospital. It’s interesting to note Tomi was a bridesmaid at the Hayden-Oman wedding Saturday and a new mom the following Wednesday. Congratulations as well to the local grandparents, Tom and Bonnie McCrindle of Byemoor.

Ray and Clara Abram have moved to an acreage near Hanna. Clara, though, will be working at the Endiang post office until the end of October. We wish the Abrams well in their new location.

Clifton and Mickey Tucker, along with Jack and Gladys Groat and Bob and Eileen Green of Stettler, recently spent a few days fishing at Blood Indian. Although the fishing wasn’t spectacular and despite a severe storm, they still managed to have an enjoyable time.
Many local rodeo fans enjoyed the Hanna indoor rodeo on the weekend.
Thought of the day — Some days you’re the dog, some days the hydrant.
