ELLEN DEGENERES (AN AGENT OF GOOD KARMA)
Al Jones
When Lois and I started out, we made the conscious decision to hire our
carriers, not as individuals, but as families. So, it may be a young teenager
delivering your paper each week, but their whole family is involved. By
making this decision, we knew we would have a good base of reliable carriers,
as we felt that those that were involved with what their children do, probably
instill good work ethics in their children as well.
Over the past twenty years, Lois and I are frequently impressed and made
proud by what some of these young people achieve as they reach adulthood.
When we see a young lady that used to work for us, raising children of her
own, or acting in a role of leadership with a company or organization… we
beam with pride. When we see a young man, that once hauled newspapers
through extreme heat on hot days, or blizzard like weather in winter, now
managing a business or making a difference in their community, we quietly
celebrate in our hearts.
These are the types of folks that work for us that we affectionately refer to
as ‘The Scoop Troupe’. Hard working families that believe in teaching their
children the value of hard work, responsibility, and commitment. Lois and I
believe that this has a lasting effect on our youth long after they leave us

and that those same ethics will be passed onto the next generation.
Now, knowing the pride we have in our carriers who are a part of the Scoop
family, you can imagine the joy we experience when one of them exceeds our
expectations. Such is the case with 21 year-old, Shantel Miller. We’ve known
Shantel’s parents for years, Val and Darryl Miller, who run Airdrie Windshield
and Glass. We know them as a hardworking couple that gives back to their
community and teaches that generosity to their children. We were thrilled
when young Jagger, Shantel’s brother, joined ‘The Scoop Troupe’ as we knew
we now had the Miller family as part of our family.
Now for the real story, folks. Shantel is a HUGE fan of Ellen DeGeneres. She
never, ever, misses her show. Ellen has a way of inspiring her audience with
guests, heart-warming stories, and acts of kindness. One will often find, after
watching the show, an inner desire to be a better person. This is probably
what makes Shantel such a big fan. So much so, that for almost three years,
Shantel faithfully registered every week for tickets to sit in the audience of a
live taping.
Then, four months ago, her determination paid off. Shantel’s sister, Shala,
was in labour when Shantel got a phone call from the folks at ‘The Ellen
Show’. Although her sister would have loved to go with her, she stayed behind
with Shantel’s new niece, Jade.
Shantel showed up with some other family members, including her Mom, Val.
While standing outside in line, the crowd was entertained with some games.
Through those games, Shantel was chosen to participate in a game, live on
air. You can imagine the excitement! This is her idol… her heroine… and she
gets to actually meet her. Shantel won that game, folks. And as her prize, she
was gifted with a big screen television. This was a BIG screen, you understand,
so you can’t take it as a carry-on during the flight home. So the show’s
producers told her they would have it delivered.
Once home, Shantel, still overwhelmed by her experience, reflected on her
adventure. She then thought about what she had won. Did she really NEED
that television set? She knew people who could use it much more than her.
Besides, she had already met her heroine, so what more could anyone ask
for? So, she wrote the show and told them that although she appreciated the
gift, that she would like to see it go to someone more deserving.
Do you believe in Karma, folks? I do. I believe good deeds are deserving of
good deeds. I believe that prosperity comes to those with generous souls. You
see, folks, Shantel is a very hard working young lady. On top of going to
university full-time, she also works at a local eatery, fills in at her Mom and
Dad’s shop, works some on-call shifts at a local tanning salon, and pitches in
with sorting and delivering newspapers for her brother, Jagger. She drives to
and from school in a beat-up jalopy and crosses her fingers that she’ll get one
more month out of it. She could have sold the television set, and put it towards
another car, but that’s not what she did. Instead, as hard as she works, she
chose to have it given to someone else less fortunate.

~ Our Home and Native Land ~
by: Lois Jones
Sometimes, I am sure I must live under a rock. The TV in my
world is usually on more for noise than entertainment. CBC
is not a channel that I normally watch, but I tuned into a
great show last night that is just plain awesome; Still Standing
hosted by comedian Jonny Harris. Last night’s episode was
filmed near my old stomping grounds, Eganville, Ontario, and
it was pretty neat seeing my old high school teacher, a family
that I went to school with, and some main tourism centers to
visit on TV. Jonny, himself, is quite witty, so I’ll be tuning in
again for sure. This column is mostly inspired by conversation,
books on Canada, and now I think I can draw some insight
from Jonny Harris.

This week, as I was reading through Canada Weird and True,
I was intrigued by a couple of places on the map and their
unique names. Have you ever been to Punkeydoodles Corners?
A hamlet located southwest of the University of Waterloo on
Road 101A, only a 25 minute drive away from campus. The
humorous name, Punkeydoodles Corners was a frequent
victim to sign theft, where signs would be stolen as quickly
as they were put up. Who wouldn’t want a road sign in their
living room “Punkeydoodles Corners”? The township gave up
on replacing the signs a few years ago. Now the town no longer
appears on the Official Road Map of Ontario and is easy to
miss when driving past. Look for a statue of Joe Clark, or
perhaps a pillar in honour of Joe Clark’s participation in the
1982 Canada Day festivities. Joe who? You ask. Definitely a
memorable day when former Prime Minister Joe Clark added
Punkeydoodles Corners to his Canada Day festivities.
Another funny one that caught my eye, Saint-Louis-du-Ha!Ha!
is located near the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. The
population is somewhere around 1350 and the main industry
is agriculture.
Can you just imagine that
family road trip? First stop
Punkeydoodles
Corners,
then we’ll head to SaintLouis-du-Ha!Ha! and enjoy
all the Canadian splendor in
between.
Wherever will our travels
take us next week?

One of my daughter’s wedding presents was a toaster oven. Soon after the
honeymoon, she and her husband tried it out. Almost immediately, smoke
billowed out of the toaster.
“Get the owner’s manual!” my daughter’s husband shouted.
“I can’t find it anywhere!” cried my daughter a short time later.
“Oops!” came a voice from the kitchen. “Well, the toast is fine, but the owner’s
manual’s burned to a crisp.”
Can Daddies Cry?
One wet day as I got out of my conversion
van in the hand-operated car wash, I
discovered the floor was a lake, and I fell
hard, hurting my elbow. After I hauled
myself painfully into the van, my two
children were quick to console me.
I drove the short distance to the service
station for change. Before getting out...my
elbow still aching...I complained: “Oh, this
hurts, it really hurts. Are daddies allowed
to cry?”
My six-year-old boy was silent for a
moment. “Yes, daddies are allowed to cry,”
he decided, “but not while they’re at a gas
station.”

$100.00 SAVINGS ON SELECT
DESIGNER SUNGLASSES
When Irvine’s says “Cowboy Up,” they mean business. What an absolutely
great Stampede BBQ they held! I can truthfully say they reminded me how
much I love Stampede week and all that comes with it.
This family business comes with quite a success story. Irvine’s is proud to
be Canada’s Largest Western Store. I think that is pretty darn cool. There
is indeed something for everyone. With something like 65,000 square feet
of retail space, selection is not a problem. Western apparel, rodeo gear,
home décor and even arena chutes and trailers. Pretty great ambiance for a
Stampede BBQ.

The
Grape Stains on Skin
Grape stains on your fingers? Do what those old-country winemakers do after
crushing grapes with their bare feet. Rub off the stains with a combination of
salt and lemon juice.
Ink on Varnished Wood
Use a solution of 1 part vinegar and 1 part linseed oil to rub off ink stains on
varnished wood. Use a soft cloth.

The Hobo
$524,900
Woodside
A hobo came up to the front door of the neat looking farmhouse and knocked
gently on the door. When the owner answered, the hobo asked, “Please, sir,
could you give me something to eat? I haven’t had a good meal in several
days.”
The owner said, “I have made a fortune in my lifetime by supplying goods for
people. I never give anything away for nothing. However, if you go around the
back, you will see a gallon of paint and a clean paint brush. If you will paint
my porch, I will give you a good meal.”
So the hobo went around back and a little later he again knocked on the door.
The owner said, “Finished already? Good. Come on in. Sit down. The cook will
bring your meal right in.”
The hobo said, “Thank you very much, sir. But there is something that I think
you should know. It’s not a Porch, it’s a BMW.”

Sunday Service
A minister was planning a wedding
at the close of the Sunday morning
service.
After the benediction he had planned
to call the couple down to be married
for a brief ceremony before the
congregation.
For the life of him, he couldn’t think
of the names of those who were to be
married.
“Will those wanting to get married,
please come to the front?” he
requested.

We had built our dream house some
years ago, and furnished it with
quality pieces as we could afford
them. Now the delivery truck carrying
the last purchase, a new bedroom
suite, was pulling into the driveway.
“Finally!” I exclaimed, flinging open
the front door as the driver walked up
to the house. “I’ve been waiting twelve
years for this!”
“Don’t blame me, lady,” he said. “I
just got the order this morning.”

MEMORY LANE...
as we embrace 2016 and prepare to celebrate 15 years of Scoop publications
and 20 years of door to door delivery, we would like to take you on a trip down
memory lane...
As a youngster, it was always in my vision to visit the “Greatest Outdoor Show on
Earth”. My first Calgary Stampede was when I was 19 (the year is not important).
Get this, four of us hitchhiked in from Lake Louise to take in the event. I never did
tell my parents I hitchhiked into Calgary and I can only hope my offspring aren’t as
foolish. Honestly, I don’t know what I was expecting, but I do know when all was said
and done, I was very disappointed. All I saw was a big midway with the same rides
and games we had at the Ottawa Exhibition. Oh, and everyone, even the carnies,
wore cowboy hats. What a facade.
Skip ahead a few years when I moved into Calgary and I caught the Stampede fever.
Working for FedEx, they wouldn’t let us wear our western duds, but I had my cowboy
hat, bandana, and western jewellery in my bag ready to put on after I rolled out of
the station. I kept the uniform, I just fancied up my duds so I didn’t stand out in
downtown Calgary.
Stampede week took on a whole new meaning for me and so did the event. I have
so many really FUN memories from many Stampede events over the years.
I didn’t buy groceries for over a week. I was fed breakfast, lunch and supper for ten
days. I may not have eaten flapjacks for another 365 days but, for those ten days,
I donned my cowboy hat, denim, and boots and came to the realization that this
wasn’t a facade... it’s Calgarian. Yes, I’m an Airdrian now, but there is still a spark
that lights up inside me, just like when I was a kid, watching the evening news with
the Stampede rodeo highlights.
At my very first Grand Stand Show, the main event was Box Car Willie. Al and I
have taken in quite a few Stampedes. The rodeo and grand stand shows are just
spectacular! When we were parents of teens, we took in countless bands at the
Coca-Cola Stage, and this year, we lucked
out to get tickets for Jeff Dunham. I dug
out the plaid and denim, and we were
off. In hindsight, I should have dug out
an umbrella, too, as we got soaked to
the core. I may have been a little whiny
this year given the weather, but even
with all that rain, my Stampede spark
was still lit.
There have been a lot of changes with
companies throwing those big shin-digs
and leaving it open to the public, but
the one thing that still remains is that
Stampede Fever. It causes increased
smiling, impulsive yahoo-ing, and the
ability to be everyone’s friend.

This is where Karma comes in, folks. Ellen was so moved by Shantel’s selfless
act, that she invited her back onto the show, and again, Shantel was chosen
to play a game. This time, she was jokingly told by Ellen, “You can’t give this
one back!” Shantel was gifted with a brand new 2016 Chevy Malibu with all
the bells and whistles.
I was privileged to be present last Thursday at Davis Chevrolet in Airdrie, as
Shantel received her brand new ride. A crowd of people welcomed her and
cheered. Not because Shantel got a new car, but because Karma did right by
rewarding Shantel’s generosity through the generosity of Ellen Degeneres.
I gotta say… I think I really like that Ellen. You folks think her family might
want to deliver newspapers? (chuckle)
