HELP WANTED
Al Jones
We’re hiring. We need several good people willing to fill
temporary positions for a two-year term. Candidates
should have good organizational skills, work well with
others, be self-motivated and be able to improvise when
necessary. They must be selfless and posses great integrity. They must have great people skills, as they will be
responsible for managing and interacting with many
others throughout their term. For the majority of the twoyear term, the work will be done in the evenings and odd
weekends, approximately four or five hours a week.
However, the final two weeks of the term will require many
hours throughout the days as well. Oh yeah, at the end of
the two-year term there will be no severance. In fact, there
will be no salary paid to them throughout their two-year
term. That’s right, folks, we want the best of the best and
we want them to work for free.
The above was the original help wanted ad I intended to
run. After reading over it several times, I thought to
myself, “Who in their right mind would apply for such a
position?” I’ve surprised myself over the past week with
the candidates that have already been attracted by my
request for their talents despite there being no compensation. Some of them are well respected business leaders and
community advocates. All of them, thus far, come with
glowing recommendations and track records that would
have many major corporations salivating at the opportu-

nity of having them as part of their management team. So,
what is it that allowed me to access such talents? Benefits.
The benefits are unlike any offered by any insurance company. You won’t find any of these benefits listed on the Alberta Blue Cross website. And I’m very confident that you
won’t find them offered by any government program.
Before I list the benefits, I should probably clarify that the
positions we are wanting to fill are not here at Scoop Central.
When I say “we”, I’m not talking about our distribution
centre or publication. Let me explain.
Thanks to the hard work of a bid committee, led by former
Mayor and all round good guy, Dan O’Neil, Airdrie was
awarded the 2014 Alberta Summer Games. After a few weeks
of celebration came another couple of weeks of hard work and
deliberation at City Hall. City council and staff were tasked
with appointing someone to Chair the 2014 Alberta Summer
Games. Yours truly was honored with that privilege. Since
then, I have reached out to some community and business
leaders for some key positions. It is important that we
surround ourselves with people who are not only talented
and organized, but who are passionate about their community. I believe we have some of the best already committed,
but despite knowing a lot of talented and passionate people,
we don’t know everyone. We know there are a lot of people
living in our city that would do their community proud that
haven’t been discovered or approached yet. There are key
Directors and Assistant Director positions that will need to
be filled.
Now for the benefit package, folks. All successful candidates
will receive the following benefits:
1) The prestige of being a part of a high profile organization;
2) The ability to work with, and learn from, some of the best
business and organizational minds;
3) The ability to mentor, teach and pass on your talents and
skills to others;
4) The hands-on experience of hosting a large scale prestigious event;
5) The gratitude of your community and fellow volunteers;
6) The forming of friendships, some of which may last a
lifetime;
7) Laughter…. Lots of it; and
8) Memories…. Too many to list!
Interested parties should submit via email, their name, contact info, type of work they are accustomed to and what types
of volunteering they have done in the past. Please email your
details to SummerGames@Live.com. Passionate people need
only apply. We look forward to working with you.

A Fool and His Money...
Two women are walking
down the street and come
to the window of a jewelry
store. They stop to admire a
gorgeous diamond bracelet
in the window.
The first one says, “Beautiful, isn’t it? But who would
be fool enough to pay ninety
thousand for it?”
To which the second one
replies, “I don’t know, but I
hope I find him.”

Big Eric
One day, Dave, the bus driver, was in his bus when the
biggest man he had ever seen got on. The giant looked at
the driver and growled, “Big Eric doesn’t pay”, and took his
seat. Dave was only a little man and he didn’t really want
to argue.

This happened for several days. After a week, Dave was
beginning to get a little angry. Everybody else paid, so why
not the big man?
So Dave went to the gym and started a course of
body-building. He didn’t want to be frightened of Big Eric
any longer.
Eight weeks later the driver had strong muscles and was
feeling very fit.

CANADA HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY 145TH FOR SURE.
There are a lot of thank you’s that need to be
handed out:
- The parade was flawless - beautiful floats,
great weather, and many community spirited
volunteers, so THANK YOU.
- Here’s the Scoop was thrilled to be a
partnering sponsor of the fireworks at East
Lake. Although Mother Nature kind of put a
damper on our party, we still had some
AWESOME ENTERTAINMENT AND
MIRACULOUS FIREWORKS!!
Thanks especially to Autumn Arson for
arranging the sound and music line-up.
Great talent!
- To all the volunteers and organizations that
helped make this party happen, WE THANK
YOU.

Before they became “The Beatles”, they were also “Johnny and

In those early years, Lennon and McCArtney were joined at times

was replaced by Ringo to form the final foursome.
