Remembrance Day is next week! In this newspaper we recognize the efforts of Veterans past. Thank you for your service.
Please try your best to attend a service next week and buy a poppy in support of the Legion.
Seems every year we hear stories of people tampering with Halloween candy. If the Page had his way, if these morons were caught and prosecuted, they would not appear in front of our bleeding heart Canadian criminal justice system for punishment. They would get a lot more than a pat on the butt and a wish for good luck while going out the door.
C’mon, picking on innocent children! What a buck of low-life losers!
Follow that by stories of scum stealing poppy boxes for money being collected for the Royal Canadian Legion. How low can you go?
What’s the penalty? Probation? Suspended sentence? A small fine?
There are just some crimes that all so morally disgusting they deserve more punishment.
In Canada, we seem apologetic to the criminals for the crimes they commit. A phony excuse for everything.
The Page enjoys Hoffman Family Gold on TV each week. Todd Hoffman leads the charge trying to strike it rich gold mining in Alaska. Actually, The Page enjoys all the gold mining shows!
Hoffman has had some tough luck this season from heavy rains to many serious breakdowns. It’s a case of if he didn’t have bad luck, he wouldn’t have any luck at all.
Anyways, The Page knows from experience that editing errors will occur whether producing a newspaper or TV show. In the show Oct. 29 there were two very noticeable errors.
First, Hoffman is saying winter is approaching when the sandhill cranes fly over on their way south for the winter. However, the show presents a flock of Canada geese honking their way through the sky! Oops! Quite a different sound than the squawking that sandhill cranes make!
Second, Hoffman is explaining a decision while standing in front of several huge trees. Obviously, this was filmed later back in the Lower 48 and not on site in Alaska. Not many big trees (not any!) on the tundra at the Mammoth Valley Mine. Oops again!
How many of you caught these mistakes?
Slink Panther is depressed! His big day is over!
Halloween passed last week. Slink Panther is one of three South Peace News office cats and almost all black. Black cats! Halloween! A perfect match!
Slink Panther is depressed knowing it is another year until his big day! Perhaps a can of Fancy Feast will improve his mood! It’s worked before!
Kudos to some of the staff at Freson Bros. on Halloween!
We saw an angel, gypsy, Barbie (no Ken! – any volunteers!) and a doctor! Definitely brightened the day! The Page had to queue up Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves on You Tube at the till to celebrate the day! Still Cher’s best song in The Page’s opinion.
Well, done everyone!
Lost in the shuffle of last week’s High Prairie Regals home game was an odd statistic.
Since the start of the 1996-97 season, the Regals had played 275 homes games. Their record was 131-131 mixed in with three ties, seven overtime losses and three shootout losses to earn 275 points in 275 games. Exactly a .500 record! How about that!
Nov. 7, the Regals will try to get back to .500 with a win over the Falher Pirates.

The Page knows someone who is so cheap when he was asked for a donation to the community swimming pool he gave them a glass of water!
What is orange and sounds like a parrot?
A carrot!
A boy was going through his grandmother’s wallet one day and found her identification card.
“Grandma,” asked the boy. “How much do you weight?”
“That is not an appropriate question to ask a girl,” said his grandma.
“Grandma,” asked the boy. “How old are you?”
“That is not an appropriate question to ask a girl,” said his grandma repeating herself. “Now stop that!
Finally, he asks, “Grandma, why did Granpa leave you?”
But before she could answer, he stops her.
“Oh, I see,” says the boy. “It’s because you got an ‘F’ in sex!”
The Page knows a very religious family.
Every morning, the father bangs on the bathroom door and yells, “God, are you still in there?”
Have a great week!
