The Page urges everyone to consider registering for High Prairie FireChase Oct. 6 as soon as possible.
To be blunt, if organizers do not get at least 30 people to register by the end of the week they will have to seriously consider pulling the plug on the event.
Many people complain there is never anything to do in High Prairie. FireChase gives you an opportunity to enjoy a stroll in the park with the family and spend some time to together.
It takes a lot of work and planning to make an event like this happen. Please consider registering.
Money raised goes to the High Prairie Fire and Rescue Society. They are the very people who dedicate countless hours to protect you and your home.
Please see full details on page 17 in this week’s newspaper. Better yet, contact co-ordinator Jennifer Anderson by e-mail at jen8ball@gmail.com for more information.
The Grande Prairie Public Library was broken in late Friday night or early Saturday morning (Sept. 20-21).
The Page was not aware the library stocked “how to” books on stealing and cheating! The thieves must have been looking for new ways to present themselves as a nuisance to society.
Seriously, it just goes to prove no one is safe when it comes to thieves.
Really, just what were the thieves going to steal worth anything? Mabe a few computers, but that’s about it!
We can only hope the crooks stole a few books on how to make themselves better members of society.

“Only one problem with the ending,” says a member of the press gallery. “It was too far from the beginning!”
