We’ve Helped Put St. Albert On The Map
If you recall about a year ago now, we ran some dramatic footage of the wind storm that drove through the Big Valley Jamboree site and collapsed the stage’
One lady, Donna Moore, lost her life in that collapse.
Kevin and his band Modern West were on stage on the sidelines watching the act before them perform when the big storm front hit. They were entangled in the stage wreckage and two members of the band seriously injured. A steel beam crashed through their tour bus, just a few feet from one band member.
Kevin and the band wanted to produce a video, honouring the life of Donna Moore to be included on his web site on the anniversary of the tragedy.
We happily supplied the rights to the footage and wound up with a front page mention on Kevin’s web site along with a hot link to St. Albert’s Place seen in this screen shot, bottom left below.
You might say we have just helped to put St. Albert on the map.
I was invited to the Big Valley Jamboree to meet Kevin in person today, but am already committed to our current trip. It is something I will regret as long as I live, an opportunity missed, never to be recovered.
Here is a look at Kevin and the band’s thoughts as they experienced that horror a year ago today along with some graphic photos of the damage.

The Things You Do At The Mall

If you are 16 years old and hanging at the mall, what do you spend your time doing?
Well, you could call your Mom for a chat.
That’s exactly what this young lady was doing when she saw a man running towards her.
Mall security was chasing the thief, but losing ground.
So she did what any petite young gal would do.
She tackled him.
Japan’s Oldest Man Had Surprise For Officials

When you are the oldest living person in the country, officials like to honour you and Japan is no different.
When officials showed up at his home to see him, the family chased them away, saying he didn’t want to see anyone.
After repeated attempts, they became suspicious and demanded entry.
And there he was in bed.
Dead.
Royal Family Cars Given The Boot

It must be nice to be a member of the Qatari royal family and have enough money to buy Harrod’s of London.
A cool $1.5 billion took care of that.
They even drove their fancy new sports cars to the change of ownership celebration.
Each car was worth well over a million bucks.
But city parking officials gave them the boot while they were inside.
Over there, they call it “clamping”.
