It looks like a dandy slate of events for this year’s corporate challenge. For one thing, there’s a GPS challenge, as if torn from the headlines of a recent issue of the Lakeside Leader. The film challenge should be a blast too – it was the last time.
Things start on Monday, June 16 with a kick-off party and something called the mystery event, whatever that means. Tuesday’s event is fear factor and on Wednesday there’s a scavenger hunt in the bush. The amazing race is Thursday’s event and it all wraps up Friday evening with a talent show, the cooking challenge, the film judging and of course the awards. Oh, did we mention two barbecues, one on Monday and one on Wednesday?
Call Bobbi-Jo at the town for more info, 849-8014.

More on the Rotary Wheel, which went missing in action early last week. It dropped out of sight on the lake ice overnight on May 2, which would have shut off the clock, making some ticket holder a winner.
It took three tries, but the Rotary fellows were successful in finding the wheel last Friday. Apparently they had the use of a ‘body rake’, which scooped up the wheel pretty much where they expected it to be.
That means that ‘Plan B’, which was to put the 10 tickets that had times in the 10 hour-period when the wheel fell in into a hat and draw two of them out, won’t happen. The Rotary Club now knows that the wheel fell in at 11:23 p.m. on May 2.
As to who held the winning ticket, we’ll have that in an upcoming issue of the Lakeside Leader. Contratulations to all. * * * * *
It’s 30 years since three Christian denominations in Slave Lake decided to join forces in a shared ministry. St. Peter’s Ecumenical is its name, and its members will be celebrating the milestone May 24 and 25th. Many activities are planned, both at the church in town and at the Widewater Complex.
Look for a bigger story on St. Pete’s first 30 years in next week’s Leader.

Tyrone Meyers popped by the office on Friday with the latest on the activities of Master Motion Pictures, the company he formed to shoot films in and around Slave Lake. He says ‘Angel Unawares’ the short film, has been completed, and now he’s turning his attention to filming ‘Mystery on Dog Island’, based on the story by Aaron Lehman.
As with any such project, money is a big challenge, so Tyrone’s starting off with a coffee house fundraiser at the Slave Lake Native Friendship Centre. He says he’s rounding up musical acts now for the May 24 shindig. It starts at 2:00 p.m. “We are asking donations from the business community...” he says in a letter, “with all 10 per cent of the proceeds going toward Vision’s Save the Children Fund.’
See you there!
