A Truckers Story If this doesn’t light your fire..your wood is wet! I try not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally challenged employee and wasn’t sure I wanted one. I wasn't sure how my customers would react to Stevie. cont on pg 3 —————————————————- Ro n H u rr y Master Goldsmith Give a gift that says… “I love you!” 1022 Canyon St 250-428-5538 — We buy old gold — A young college girl came running in tears to her father. “Dad, you gave me some terrible financial advice!” she cried. “I did? What did I tell you?” said the dad. “You told me to put my money in that big bank, and now that big bank is in trouble.” “What are you talking about? That’s one of the largest banks in the world,” he said. “Surely there must be some mistake.” “I don’t think so,” she sniffed. “They just returned one of my checks with a note saying, ‘Insufficient Funds’.” —————————————————- 232-33rd Ave. S.

I wasn’t worried about most of my trucker customers because truckers don’t generally care who buses tables as long as the meatloaf platter is good and the pies are homemade. The fourwheeler drivers were the ones who concerned me; the mouthy college kids traveling to school; the yuppie snobs who secretly polish their silverware with their napkins for fear of catching some dreaded “truck stop germ” the pairs of white-shirted business men on expense accounts who think every truck stop waitress wants to be flirted with. I knew those people would be uncomfortable around Stevie so I closely watched him for the first few weeks. I shouldn't have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his stubby little finger, and within a month my truck regulars had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot. After that, I really didn’t care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-yearold in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. cont on pg 5 —————————————————Next Deadline: Friday, Nov 30, 4pm Wendy’s Custom Framing Nov & Dec Christmas Special 20% off any in-stock mats used on framing (good till Dec 31,2012) 250-428-9493 2215 Birch Street Creston New Horizons Seniors Society invites you to join us for Pancake Breakfast Sunday, Dec 9th 8:30am-12noon Rotacrest Hall (located at South end of Rec Centre parking lot) $5 person ~ Everyone Welcome! ~ Criss Cross Puzzle Christmas Menu STARTER Spiced Sweet Potato Bisque Walnut Apple Salad —————————————————————————————————— ENTREE Half Cornish Game Hen with Sage & Apple Stuffing, Orange Cognac Glaze, Roast Potatoes, Vegetables & Sage Gravy Lamb Shank, Slow Cooked, with Roasted Potato, Cranberry Mint Salsa, Rosemary Gravy and Seasonal Vegetables (add $2) Oven Baked Salmon Filet with Maple Dijon Glaze, Hazelnut Pilaf and Seasonal Vegetables Marinated Portobello Mushroom with Sage & Apple Stuffing, Blue Cheese Crumbles, Hazelnut Pilaf and Seasonal Vegetables ————————————————————————————————————— —————————————————————————————————————— Across: Down: 4.car dealer ’ s offer- 1.Size up again ing 2.hardly exciting 6.Catch 3.Shooting for, with “ to ” Answers on page 6 5.Belief The Bureau of Incomplete Statistics reported that one out of three —————————————————Some people complain because there are thorns on roses, while others praise thorns for having roses among them.

Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean the table until after the customers were finished. He would hover in the background, shifting his weight from one foot to another, scanning the dining room until a table was empty. Then he would scurry to the empty table and carefully bus dishes and glasses onto his cart and meticulously wipe the table up with a practiced flourish of his rag. If he thought a customer was watching, his brow would pucker with added concentration. He took pride in doing his job exactly right, and you had to love how hard he tried to please each and every person he met. Over time we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer, They lived on their Social Security benefits in public housing two miles from the truck stop. Their social worker, who stopped to check on him every so often, admitted they had fallen between cracks. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home. That’s why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a new valve or something put in his heart. His social worker said that people with Downs Syndrome often have heart problems at an early age so this wasn’t unexpected, and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months. A ripple of excitement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. cont on pg 7 Page 5 Answer to Rebus Puzzle The Folded Napkin..

Rather than wake him, he quietly places a note on the mans chest… “As long as you’re asleep,” it read, “you have a job. But as soon as you wake up, you’re fired!” —————————————————For years my husband denied he was an aggressive driver. That changed one day when we were out for a ride with our three-year-old, Matthew. Seeing a teaching opportunity, I began quizzing Matthew about traffic lights. “What does a red light mean?” I asked. “Stop.” “How about green?” “Go.” “And yellow?” In his best impression of Daddy, Matthew bellowed, “Hang on!” —————————————————There has never yet been a fisherman who could keep both hands in his pockets while describing the one that got away. —————————————————One evening I was driving my six year old daughter to her grandparents home for an overnight stay. It was late, there was little traffic and we were enjoying a peaceful ride. It was a far cry from the usual chaos surrounding us when I drive her to various activities during rush hour. My daughter seemed deep in thought when she said, “I have a question.” “What do you want to know?” I responded. “Mom, when you're driving,” she asked, “are you ever the idiot?” —————————————————I was babysitting my two grandchildren, Tony, 5, and Holly, 2, when Holly temporarily disappeared.

Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at the sight of this 50-year-old grandmother of four doing a victory shimmy beside his table. Frannie blushed, smoothed he apron and shot Belle Ringer a withering look. He grinned, “OK, Frannie, what was that all about?” he asked. “We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay.” “I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?” Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevie’s surgery, then sighed: “Yeah, I’m glad he is going to be OK,” she said. “But I don’t know how he and his mom are going to handle all the bills from what I hear, they’re barely getting by as it is.” Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to wait on the rest of her tables. Since I hadn’t had time to round up a busboy to replace Stevie and really didn’t want to replace him, the girls were busing their own tables that day until we decided what to do. After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins in her hand and a funny look on her face. “What's up?” I asked. “I didn’t get that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting cleared off after they left, and Pony Peter and Tony Tipper were sitting there when I got back to clean it off,” she said. “This was folded and tucked under a coffee cup.” She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed “Something For Stevie”. “Pony Pete asked me what that was all about,” she said, “So I told him about Stevie..

West Arrow Creek 402-6083 Page 7 And his mom and everything, and Pete looked at Tony and Tony looked at Pete, and they ended up giving me this.” She handed me another paper napkin that had “Something For Stevie” scrawled on its outside. Two $50 bills were tucked within its folds. Frannie looked at me with wet, shiny eyes, shook her head and said simply: “truckers.” That was three months ago. Today is Thanksgiving, the first day Stevie is supposed to be back at work. His placement worker said he’s been counting the days until the doctor said he could work, and it didn’t matter at all that it was a holiday. HE called 10 times in the past week, making sure we knew he was coming, fearful that we had forgotten him or that his job was in jeopardy. I arranged to have his mother bring him to work. I then met them in the parking lot and invited them both to celebrate his day back. Stevie was thinner and paler, but couldn’t stop grinning as he pushed through the doors and headed for the back room where his apron and busing cart were waiting. “Hold up there , Stevie, not so fast,” I said. I took him and his mother by their arms. “Work can wait for a minute. To celebrate you coming back, breakfast for you and your mother is on me!” I led them toward a large corner booth at the rear of the room. I could feel and hear the rest of the staff following behind as we marched through the dining room. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw booth after booth of grinning truckers empty and join the procession. We stopped in front of the big table. Its surface was covered with coffee cups, saucers and dinner plates, all sitting slightly crooked on dozens of folded paper napkins. “First thing you have to do, Stevie , is clean up this mess,” I said. I tried to sounds stern. cont on pg 10 OVERHEAD DOOR Company of Creston Gordon Hegland 250-402-9818 ♦Residential ♦Commercial For ALL Repairs & Service Needs D & J Waldner CONSTRUCTION Dale 250 250--402 402--8808 Journeyman Carpenter New Construction ● Renovations Bobcat Service Valley View Baptist Church “Where the View is Eternal”Jude 21 SUNDAY Bible Classes…………..…...9:45am Morning Worship………..…11am Evening Service…………..….…7pm WEDNESDAY Bible Study & Prayer…….....7pm Pastor Jeff Friesen 234 36 Avenue N. 428-4861 RON PELTZER We SERVICE your WINTER equipment! 1238 NW Blvd 250.428.1721 For Sewage Pumping call 1209 NW Blvd 250-402-6299 INSURANCE CLAIMS Paint & Body Repairs Auto Glass Certified Technicians Free Estimates Safe Quality Repairs We Set Our Sights Higher! 428-9097 ALL-RITE ROOTER SEWAGE PUMPING & SALES Local & Long Distance Moving House &Yard Maintenance Also Available Res: 866 866--5760 Ph: 428 428--6701 4730 Canyon-Lister Rd 250-428-7278 Visit our Farm for Apples!

The Folded Napkin A Truckers Story cont from pg 7 Stevie looked at me, and then at his mother, then pulled out one of the napkins. It had “Something for Stevie” printed on the outside. As he picked it up, two $10 bills fell onto the table. Stevie stared at the money, then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the tableware, each with his name printed or scrawled on it. I turned to his mother. “There’s more that $10, 000 in cash and checks on that table, all from truckers and trucking companies that heard about your problems “Happy Thanksgiving,”. Well, it got real noisy about that time, with everybody hollering and shouting, and there were a few tears as well. But you know what's funny?

In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her.

He saw that the blind man had only a few coins in his hat. He dropped more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign and rewrote it. He returned the sign to the blind man and left. That afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what he had written on it. The publicist responded: “nothing that was not true. I just wrote the message a little differently.” He smiled and went on his way. The new sign read: “Today is Spring and I cannot see it -Kim Klaver Page 11 My friend Stan was thrilled he could take his 87-year-old mother to finally see “Fiddler on the Roof,” especially since she came from one of the countless Anatevka-like Russian shtetls so many decades ago.
